you think he's gonna drop out you think he'll drop out there's no way there's no way he'll drop out i don't know who biden a person a career politician like that that's all he knows like you'd think but you know maybe someone's like you know think about always laying down joe you could do that he will drop out interesting but and I also think the Stephanopoulos thing is such bullshit. No one pays attention to that. If he doesn't drop out, he will lose. And this will be the fuck. And I'm not looking forward to it, but it will be the implosion of the Democratic Party.

Actually, I would be looking forward to that, but not a second Trump administration. Yeah. Yeah. It's my God. It'd be over. Trump administration. Yeah. Yeah.

It's my God. It's it'd be over like, but he's doing the Stephanopoulos interview to appease all the centrists, all the ones who are like, you should drop out all

the pod save guys. He, that's why he would do it. The question is, what is Obama saying right now? But anyway,

privately, not tweeting publicly. Right. You had a bad day. You should fucking drop out. Kay hasn't heard from her sister in seven years. I have a proposal for you.

Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. What was that? That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. Can Kay trust her sister or is history repeating itself? There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

There's chocolate, don't you see cup of noodles graham cracker pieces two cup of noodles this flavor just won't do okay shout out to my people who know the game operation and the commercial a broken heart of course look i remember people know i remember all 90s commercials so shout shout out Peanut Butty Brown on the Discord for creating an AKA after that story we came up or not came up with, talked about where Cup Noodles had a summer s'mores by the campfire flavor.

Francesca, great to have you back. Yeahca, great to have you back. Yeah, I just fell out of the coconut tree, ready to be here. I'm sorry, I'm just trying to K-Hive y'all to death because I've been inducted officially. Oh, really? You've been inducted into the K-Hive? No, I'm just so dissociating from this entire election at this point that I'm like, yes, Kamala, I'm ready. I'm ready for it.

Please, whatever. I need a mom. I don't have mommy issues, but sure. Please, please, please. Yeah, I mean, look, I saw that BET Awards performance where she said, you know, and one party isn't about equality. They simply just not like us. And I was like, well, okay, well, way to hit them with the KDOT reference. Madam Vice President, we love to see you courting the

youth vote. Yes, the memes are fire. Yes, they are. They are. And it's all about SEO. But look, we have to get to our guest. I'm surprised y'all don't know each other. But I'm glad that we are putting you two together for the first time, Francesca. Our guest today is, look, one of the most chaotic guests we've had ever next to Chris Crofton. When it's the two of them together, you know all bets are off. But we have Blake as an isolated atom here to sow chaos on his own. As our guest, you know him as the wonderful comedian, writer, performer. And also recently, we're kind of viral on Reddit for pointing out the Titanic bathroom in Long Island City, Queens, not Long Island City, Long Island. But please welcome to the microphone, our very favorite Mr. Plumper himself, Blake Wexler.

Hey, this is Blake Wexler, aka Miles gets knocked down, but then he gets up again jack gets knocked down but then he gets up again blake gets knocked down but i get up again francesca too that was chumba wumba wall i was like this dude is a narc he didn doesn't even know how Chumbawamba goes. But you flipped it. So I appreciate that. And as a side note, people need to start writing these for me. I think this is the time that I get off my high horse and need people to write these. Join the Discord. Hey, you know, the Discord is popping.

We have very talented Discord, a.k.a. writers on there. So, yeah, I'm sure. DM me they call me you heard it i heard it like you got to join the discord though too and then go in there and be like hey i'm about to go on please hit me with some stuff and they will oh i need to do that then they will reply oh yeah we can share an account french fantastic okay that sounds good share custody of an account can i get your discord really quick yeah i know it's the display name is franny fio but it's me, Blake.

And I'll just keep on mentioning your name once in a while. Like, Blake was so great. And then you just mentioned me. Like, Francesco was so great. Likewise. Yeah. Whose burner is this? I love it.

That's great. I think that works. Blake, like I said, I texted you over the weekend because I was scrolling Reddit, which is detrimental to my health. I did see your beautiful face pop up where you're like, I just saw the craziest Titanic-themed bathroom. And I love the comments, mostly people screaming at you for not knowing what Long Island City was. I didn't either. I just parsed that through the comments. And also, shout out, Psych Gang, because there were a few people who were like, dude, that's Blake Wexler.

That's fucking Blake Wexler. And other people were like, dude, he's on the Daily Psychist a lot. And he's a comedian. And he's fantastic. and he's fantastic. We all know this. How was that for you for your light Reddit moment? It's overdue. It's great that it's not something that I put effort into,

like my stand-up comedy or anything that I can monetize in any way. But other than that, it's fantastic. Did you hit it with a check out my album afterwards? That's funny. I don't know the rules. So Reddit doesn't really like when you talk about yourself, right? Don't they not like when you promote yourself or is that okay? Unless you're humiliating yourself, no. You can't just pop into like a raps like subreddit and be like, hey, man, check out my mixtape.

Like, no. Oh, interesting. The mods will take that down. I wish I did. So to answer your question, I did it. But people have been following from it. It's one of these funny things where I did... So it was months ago

I went into this bar and had lunch and then had to go to the bathroom and walk downstairs. And it was the most ornate, in-depth, expensive... And also, there was no warning that it was a titanic themed bathroom uh celine dion was blasting like it was it was crazy yeah and the restaurant was not like

themed like the titanic 100 correct there was no indication that there was uh anything down there was this did the submersible make it to the bathroom? Because I really like the idea that there was like a separate, like the urinal is the submersible and there's like five billionaires dead inside. That would be fantastic. And I think if they add an addition on, which they might be able to do now because of all the foot traffic that video is going to drive in, they should add the submersible. I think that's just the natural, maybe in the basement basement like just bringing it even lower but i interrupted you but yeah so it was fucking no not at all wild great uh yeah it was wild it's a it was i would say excellent yeah it was here's here's the view of the bathroom of blake going in the bathroom. Okay. Normal. Wait. Oh.

Oh, wow. Black light. Jack and Rose. Celine Dion. Some kind of sword in the stone. Wait. Someone has to tell Caitlin Durante about this immediately, right? I know.

I know. I believe Caitlin stumbled across this outside of our friendship, which has been my favorite thing. It's people seeing it. Not because it was on. Caitlin Durante didn't see this yeah exactly yeah but no caitlin caitlin saw it uh hello to caitlin paul f tompkins became very into this video as well yeah like just all comedy people that i know ended up seeing it any work come from it yeah so i'm gonna write the uh sequel titanic 2 and got it yeah i can't talk too much about it, but they found it. A tugboat is animated.

It's an animated Pixar. I think there is an animated Titanic 2, I think. Titanic 2 is what happens to Rose. Yeah. The interim period. Do you think she would become

a drug addict from the trauma of it all? I would. I mean, I think she had a very long story. You saw that old woman's face. She's seen a lot. She was 23 when we catch up with her in that scene, I think. And she doesn't shut up about it. It's everything she talks about is Titanic this, Titanic that.

Oh, my God. I'm pretty sure she's lying. The dates don't add up, Ma. All right. Well, Blake, we're going to get to know you to know you even better first we're gonna give a little preview of what we're gonna talk about joe biden is still in folks no wait he's fucking dropping out no wait what what are we fucking doing that's kind of the vibes right now in the dnc so we'll just check in there to see how that sort of problem solving issue is going. That, you know, RFK Jr. also having a pretty normal one, too. This Vanity Fair piece came out and it's full of some wild shit.

So we'll touch on a few of those things. And then I think we are, you know, I think maybe negligent in our duties in talking about the shared consciousness of America and the Internet, because we have not spoken about the Hawk tool girl. And it's now time we just catch up with the Hawk tool girl, see what, where she's at, where she's headed, where she thinks she's headed and where we think she may be headed or not headed at all. Uh, that and plenty other stories. But first Blake Wexler, we got to ask you what's on from your search history. That's revealing about who you are, what you're into right now. Search history came very recently. Mark Cavendish, who is a bicyclist, and

he is, I think, 39. So, like, Tour de France, that's old. It is? That's old for Tour de France? I believe so, yeah. I think almost any... I'm like almost 40. I'm like, hold on. He looks over baseball. Baseball is like baseball you can

play lebron is still in the game you know what i mean so yeah lebron so yeah i want to hear it brock brown are you are you on team brawny like let's not do this right now we don't have to talk about it let's not do this right now okay let's not do this right now yeah don't have a good yeah we'll be very passive so uh so mark cavendish 39 this is like his last he's overcome a ton of like i'm learning like i watched uh one of those documentaries netflix does where they just take an obscure sport and make it into the most interesting thing in the entire world so they did it with like f1 you know which in america is you know obscure they've done it with like golf tennis now, now cycling, sprinting.

They're doing a sprinting one. Not just running. I like all of these sports. Oh, yeah. I love. They're cool. They're really cool, but they don't get televised. Wait, they got you giving a fuck about golf?

There's no way. They got me into golf. A golf one, I think I'd be like, whatever, y'all. I don't give a fuck about golf. There's one likable person. One person you like, and he's not even good at it golf which is maybe why you like him wait so what's interesting about cavendish so he overcame like a bunch of obstacles where first like you got to cheer for the older guy it's like his last time around it

was supposed to be last year and he's won the most stages which i believe tour de france is like whoever wins the overall thing like who has the best time overall but then there's also like almost like mini games if you will like throughout it so you can win these little games yeah and he's won the most stages so little games because he's never won the whole thing but like he's very fast and he keeps getting hurt like there's a great documentary on him i forget what it's called but it's worth watching like he's struggled with like mental health issues like you know it's like hit his head in these awful accidents and then you see like the toll it took on his family and then he comes back it's it's he seems like a great dad and it's anyway he finally broke the record like

this year because he was going to try to do it last year but he broke his collarbone in like a weird crash oh god he just broke it yeah like this this week so on uh on july 3rd again yeah it happens often so sorry is this before after he's before we haven't done the tour de france yet so the tour de france is happening now right now he just did it like today where he just broke the record. Oh, and he just. Yeah, he just broke the record. Oh, he didn't break his collarbone. I was like, oh, he broke the record. Okay, sorry.

Broke his collarbone last year. So he couldn't break the record. Then came back, did not break his collarbone. Knock on wood, but broke the record. The collarbone of sports are records. So in a way, yeah, we were all right it's all clavicles from here yeah so i looked him up just to see what the deal was yeah at 39 you can do anything that's true yes but not a year later i had a baby yeah hey amazing shout out to the body

you know what i mean shout out that's awesome what's something you think is underrated underrated your eyes are darting all over your screen do you have like a whole manifesto right now you're like yeah no no yeah it's it's it's i write on my screen i told you don't do that it's bad for it but anyway i don't uh respect your opinion so i don't listen to you and i don't respect yours either that's why we're friends okay well that's why i love you so uh but i shopping for cars exclusively through email is underrated where i'm getting a new car and my old car lease is done i'm like i should stop leasing and actually invest in a car it's probably the worst time to do that in history but it's only gonna get worse yeah so well i always feel i speak for a living but when and like improvise and go back and forth.

But when I am in a car dealership, I want to people please. So I have issues negotiating. You're like, I could go higher on the monthly payment. Probably. I do want like to. I mean, if I got a third job. Yeah. I could afford this.

I don't want you to lose out of your commission. Yeah, yeah. The clear coat sounds good. Yeah, I don't know. We can do it a couple times if that helps you out for sure. I'll have a few extended warranties, whatever you want. Extend it through the next hundred years. Your tactic against your urge to people, please, is to just correspond through emails.

against your urge to people please is to just correspond through emails that way you're not feeling the pressure of a human being with you know bunny eyes looking into you being like please because you can i can oh that's my landlord's like that like if i talked to if she emails i was like stern oh and then in person she's like i'm so sorry i just have to be here all the time and tell you not to leave things on the lawn even though it's a fucking lawn and you rent the fucking house but yeah so it's really fun i'm i'm chinese so i'm like i'm getting a deal i will try to talk it down i will negotiate no problems that no not the first price yeah yeah yeah i will talk it down in the slowest way where their whole thing is to like extend the process as long as possible to make you quit and then my people-pleasing thing is i'll be like oh yeah yeah yeah i might do that and then i'll be like blake don't do that and i'll be like yeah actually i want to do this thing that i really

want to do for myself and not so the whole thing takes 10 times as long like because it's a nightmare so i'll eventually get what i want but it's terrible for everybody. So with email, it's like... You're still working on that Wexler guy? Yeah, it's been seven months. He won't go. He keeps apologizing. It's all apologizing. He's waiting for Happy Honda Days to kick in.

He thinks the price is going to go. I told him it's not. And he's shopping for a Ford. I don't understand why he's talking. Well, let's see what Happy Honda Days... I mean, I think the Lexus December to Remember event is probably going to help me out a little bit. They don't sleep on the Toyota-thon. Don't sleep on the Toyota-thon.

For me, it's the Toyota-thon. Oh, for you? For me, it's December to Remember because as a kid whose parents never had a Lexus or anything like that, I was always like the white people in the Lexus commercial. Oh, you won the Lexus with the bow on top? That image, because it was like an impossible home.

It was like snow. It was like a white Christmas. And like people with like beautiful cashmere sweaters come out. And like they're covering their eyes. And then they open it like, ah, I got to do Lexus with a bow on top. And I'm like, I have never seen a fucking holiday this happy in my life. I've never experienced it. So I think that's like my first hit of drugs that I keep chasing.

I get that. Yeah. And Maseratis are hard to find, too. So that's why I've been doing it with email because it's just easier for them all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good for you. I told you. Yeah, man. It's all about the Masi. What's something that is overrated? Overrated? Drinking on an airplane where I've been doing this show for so long that this was an underrated for me, I think a few years ago. And now that I've aged into my mid thirties, I'm reneging on that because I used to be like, Oh, it's like time travel. It's great. But now it is, you get more dehydrated. It's like time travel. It's like, oh, you're blacking out on everything. And they've gotten the hollering that they'll do now. But no, it really is.

First of all, you get dehydrated more. Also, you do have to, like, it just messes up the following day. And also, I like to drink on a cadence, you know, where it's like, oh, I want to retain whatever level of buzz that I have. Maintaining your buzz. Yes. Yes. But not dipping into tiredville. And, you know, these, as Francesca referred to them, stewards. People do coke. I mean, once you get older, you basically just swap it out. People just do cocaine. People do cocaine so they can drink after a certain age, I noticed. Or they're like, like dude i had like three drinks dude i think i'm gonna go to bed like just do a butt man just fucking come right but all right all right man yeah i mean how much oh wait it's my weekend

with my kids tomorrow fuck i don't actually and you're like dude this is way too much by the way my underrated was actually doing cocaine on planes i think that that's fine i'm just talking about our move right now yeah just in your seat just you don't mind in the middle man in the middle yeah yeah yeah if you're in a middle you get to do a bump yeah and ask the hey man you guys you got some keys on you dude yeah like a set of keys or like a parliament i left my security but no yeah i actually speaking of drinking on planes i had a friend once drink on a plane freaking like on his way home forgot that he drove to the airport for to keep costs down so then had to uber back to his home and then uber back to the airport the next day to get his car because a moron but not irresponsible hey exactly hey yeah we salute people who don't drunk drive even if

they make their lives infinitely more complicated thank Don't be out there drinking and driving. It's bad, according to law enforcement. Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about Joe Biden. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always 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 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

The rumors and whispers continue to swirl around Biden's decision regarding the future of his campaign. Who's it going to be? Is it going to be Gretchen? Is it going to be Gavin? Is it going to be Kamala?

Is it going to be J.B. Pritzker? Well, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois had been there's been one of the names that people were like floating around. And he took time to tow the party line and shoot down any doubts people may have about the president when he was asked, like, you know, like a lot of the polls show that most Americans don't want Joe Biden to run. Are they wrong or what's going on? So here was J.B. Pritzker's answer to what do we do? Well, I think that that's why President Biden needs to communicate more. We haven't heard a lot from him since the debate, and that's why the polls look as they do.

I think that when you come off a bad debate, you need to remind people why you're the right guy to elect. And I know that Joe Biden will do that over the next couple of weeks. At least I expect him to make a different decision. And I think that's again, this is a healthy conversation for us all to be having. And I think that the president needs to communicate to everybody once again why he's the right guy. He keeps doing that thing where like he's clearly being like, I keep telling these motherfuckers. Because he said communicate like four times. If he communicates to the people that why he's actually the right guy, that might help.

But I don't know. He's kind of like, but he may not. But I'm not going to cast aspersions out loud like this. I think this is the problem. I mean, i wouldn't disagree with pritzker here but the problem that we're in is because biden tried to communicate with the people i mean and failed miserably time and time again it was his makeup okay that's what you're responding to. It was the, it was, you know what it was also like, I know what Biden was trying to do, which was actually win over the moderators and speak to them because they, that's the polite thing to do.

You're in a room with them, but it's like, no, no, no, no. It's a debate. You're supposed to talk to all of the Americans watching you and a lot of people abroad, sadly. And, and so that's what he was doing. It's the same thing with the parage troopers. Like, I was just trying to be nice. Yeah, but you looked off. You know, but I honestly like there's a reason he's not been doing interviews.

And I don't think that going and doing as many interviews as he can and getting in front of the American people. No, we've seen them. They're still not good. If you can even make it through them. The reason that people even made it through this one is because it was the effing debate. And it was a big moment. So it's just, yes.

But of course, sorry, I'm going on. But the fact is, if you want to potentially be considered as a candidate, you have to, number one, be loyal, loyal right you have to say biden's doing great everything's fine right but i'm i wouldn't be i wouldn't be opposed i mean but if he decides something obviously you know it's like we see y'all we see y'all i mean i you're you're all y'all rubbing your fucking mitts right now trying to figure out who this thing's gonna fall to if it does but even though he's like saying if he could stay in

the race and win this thing, we also have reporting from the New York Times that says Biden confided in a close ally that he was actually considering his fate. As they reported, Biden knows he must perform well in his Friday interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News, as well as during campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Quote, he knows if he has two more events like that, the debate, we're in a different place by the end of the weekend. And this is the ally referring to Mr. Biden's, like I said, his whatever performance in the debate. Use whatever adjective descriptor you want to that. The White House immediately shot this story down. But sources close to Biden have said the fact that he's even considering this out loud is

basically tantamount to actually following through on it. So we will see. I mean, I think regardless of what happens, I think democratic operatives and the people in the DNC need to get real about what's going on. Like, yes, Biden appears feeble and that's not great for the optics. But the issue here is that part of what makes Biden quote old is that his ideas are so stale and entrenched in the status quo. It's not obviously he's physically old, but what he stands for to the version of America he stands for is also old. So I think there's a lot of oldness compounding when we talk about Joe Biden outside of his physical appearance. And if the platform of

the party like remains the same or the thrust of this campaign remains the same to kind of sit on your hands on a number of issues that are existential threats to many people, not just here, but also abroad. All you're doing is just like swapping out a mannequin in a shop window and not changing anything. You're like, well, oh, man, this mannequin's kind of all sun bleached and the clothes look old. Put the new one in. What are we selling here? Just the same stuff. Just put a new mannequin in the window. And hopefully that will solve it rather than again, I think going after the things that especially for younger people make Biden appear quote old, like there's not a vision of like a future that anyone can get invested in, especially

when all you do is pound the table screaming about the end of democracy. And it just feels like the like emotional engine is hopelessness or like being blackmailed to vote for Biden. It's like, because if you don't, we're all going to die. Yeah. Well, that's what I mean about dissociating. Yeah, truly. Here's I have a question for for both of you, because you know more about this stuff than I do. So it's my understanding that like I'm like getting this is going to be a broad question, that like i'm like getting this is going to be a broad question but the purely being an incumbent gives you x amount of votes in terms of like name recognition so i guess my question is bringing in a guy who like the illinois governor that we were just talking about like i i don't my my assumption

is there's going to be no one who has a name that in this short period of time would be able to get more votes than Biden would. Right. Like, am I like or is that. Well, the polling actually is showing that no. And sadly, also showing that Trump has the best name recognition and Trump might be is polling stronger than Biden and actually pulling stronger than a lot of the alternatives. is polling stronger than Biden and actually polling stronger than a lot of the alternatives. But, you know, I've it's been now almost it's been a week basically since this disastrous debate. And I'm someone who does not like Kamala Harris's politics. I think she's absolutely an opportunist and craven and very much.

Selena Myers does not actually know why she would ever want to be president. But it's got to be Kamala. Like there's no to me, there's no other way. She's the effing be president. But it's got to be Kamala. Like there's no, to me, there's no other way. She's the effing vice president. She was basically picked knowing that possibly Biden would be a transitional candidate. And in terms of swapping mannequins, I do think it is swapping mannequins. However, there's a few differences. She is far younger. She's Gen X, right? I also think she has a shred to the humane side when it comes to the handling of the assault on Gaza and, you know, just potentially could put some of the reins on our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, as Gazans face imminent starvation right now, literally this month is when it is happening and

so i think that's huge and like separately from that you need fresh blood you need to get people excited about it the only thing that elects democrats the only thing is voter turnout that's it when voters turn out democrats win right sadly it's not about the politics right i mean it you know obviously democrats could do what is fucking right for them and like know a good thing when it hits them and look i've said it bernie got four more years let's go then we transition to aoc you know dm me later but it's to me it's just it is it is god it. And the other thing about it, Miles, is that Biden has done some good stuff. He's done some, you know, in terms of, yes, being able to negotiate the price of insulin, which is just incredible that we cannot do that, but the government now can.

He's being litigated for it. The student debt relief, the bipartisan infrastructure plan, the American Rescue Plan, the CHIPS Act. We're producing semiconductors here in terms of like Trump is all, you know, fucking bluster when it comes to China. And Biden actually did something that would help the national industry when it comes to something that we need to be competitive in. Like there are starting the climate course, something that Joe Biden did that young people, specifically the Sunrise Movement, wanted. So you can get jobs now in climate, fighting climate change. He's still supporting the massive amounts of drilling and oil subsidies that we have in this country. But there are things this administration has done,

going after Google, going after Amazon. The FTC is on fire right now, protecting consumer rights from monopolies. And then the NLRB is doing amazing things protecting labor rights that I know we're going to talk about. So there are things that have been done. This guy is just a shit messenger for it. So can you put someone in there who can actually sing the praises

of some of the good things that they have done that again, oh my God, I feel like I've lost all my lefty cred on by even talking about. We'll bleep it. Look, we're all coping in our own ways to figure out what the fuck's gonna happen but yeah she also looks healthy yeah and it sounds very very simple but she is there's a vibrancy yeah she flosses she goes for brisk walks and can do it in high 80 degree weather. She looks more vibrant.

And I think if you put someone like that next to either of those two, old people freak people out. That's the thing. That's why people in the United States don't have their old grandparents living with them because it's gross. We hide them away in convalescent homes and things like that. I'm being silly here, but I do mean this is that oh like the people don't like talk about aging they don't like talking about death a lot of it is because they see an old person and they see that your mortality right in front of you and i think even having someone you know like like with life to them putting her next to you know like trump it, it's just someone that will not gross people out, you know?

I mean, we also saw the way she handled Brett Kavanaugh and Mike Pence. I mean, she's got actually a proven track record of going up against these ghouls to their faces. She's done it on the national stage and she crushed it. So honestly, I would be very excited if only to see her debate Donald Trump. Fuck, even if she loses, just to hear someone go up against Trump finally and put him in his goddamn fucking place. Yeah. And would that still be enough?

Because that's the thing. It's like, even though the performance was terrible, it's like the polls aren't really shifting in any meaningful way. Like aside from people being like, yeah, man, he's fucking old. I think there's definitely a group of people who are like, yeah, it cannot be Trump. I don't give a fuck what you put up there. It could be a burning tire with a

suit on. And then there are other people who are like, I would like a little bit more to feel hopeful about what this administration is, because alongside the things that have been good, there's also been so much that we're also like, can we move past this sort of like imperialism? I mean, I'm not, I'm not, not with the, not with entrenched candidates like this, but there are definitely as the younger generations are looking for a different vision of America. And I think you have to tap into that on some level without just, you know, without just being like, but fucking Trump, like, yeah, we get that man. Like, and I understand that project 2025, it could be an absolute reversal on everything that we know in terms of governance.

But at the same time, part of a campaign that you need to win is to create some excitement. And you're not going to create excitement by just being like, we're going to fucking die. Yeah. Like give me something to fucking, you know, just like last. I mean, a lot of promises were kept and some weren't with Biden's last campaign. And that's fine because they're like, that's just the nature of campaigning. Like not everyone is going to deliver on every single thing they said, especially like Trump barely delivered on anything. But I think there's just, there's a balance here that can be struck. And I'm curious to see how they all do that, whether it's through trying to make it rain through like social spending or something to try and get people to be like, it's fine.

Joe's old, but he sees you like, let's get this free childcare or something. I don't know what it's going to be, but we sit waiting to see what will come of this. But yeah, it's a lot of back and forth. What about RFK Jr.? We should talk about RFK Jr. because this is for Blake. Yeah, I know. I wanted to go on someone. I also want to talk about someone i wanted to i also

want to talk about someone that blake is supporting my god yes thank you and i told you that in confidence but go ahead and you did say it was mostly because of the brain worm yeah it was i found it relatable i i think that you know we should all who knows just get checked is really why i'm here yeah yeah yeah it's my platform yeah please yeah what's that like weird weird gross like ribbon you're wearing oh it's a brain worm but in the no but legit i'm like kind of scared like so my my baby right now is like a really low grade fever but she's fine slashing daycare and i'm like but she has been doing a lot of drinking from the water table that we have that she can play with and I'm like, what if she got like one of them brain worms? Like what's going on?

You know, like I just see like a weird amoeba. Or maybe she's a baby who's just exploring. Exactly. And that's totally what it is. But the RFK brain worm story really was, I was like, this is funny that I read it and was like I'm never drinking the water in Thailand or wherever

the fuck he was. Sure. And or maybe it was a ruse because he was in it. Look, we'll get to the brain worm. This recent Vanity Fair article that just came out contains like allegations from like a former RFK nanny in which she accuses RFK of sexually assaulting her in 1998 at the family's home. And he went on the Breaking points podcast, like to, and it was, it was mentioned. And this was his response in terms of this allegation being brought up.

I am not a church boy. I am not running like that. I said in my, I had a very, very rambunctious youth. I said in my announcement speech that I have, I have, if I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world. So, you know, this Vanity Fair is

recycling 30-year-old stories, and I'm not, you know, going to comment on the details of any of them, but it's, you, but I am who I am. You're talking there about the nanny situation. I mean, I do have to ask her. I mean, are you denying it or not? I'm not going to comment on it. All right. Well, so.

I think he pretty much did not deny it. Yeah. Oh, my God. You're going to deny it or not? I already talked about this 30 years ago, okay? I don't want to talk about it anymore. I have skeletons in my closet, and I'm not a church boy. So many.

I just feel like I always think about this. I'm like, if I ever ran for office, I couldn't because you'd like find some old podcasts where I'm like, yes, we should violently overthrow the government, you know, and we should install like anarcho-communist little like, you know, Soviets in every community or whatever. Like that's the kind of shit that I would get. But I've not sexually assaulted anyone. You know what I mean?

Like, me, the shit that is in some, mostly men's, like, closets, powerful dudes' closets, is just, there's always a sexual assault. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, without fail. You already have, like, if you took the three candidates,

they all have allegations of assaulting. Yeah, yeah. The without fail, you already have like if you took the three candidates, they all have allegations of assault. Yeah. Yeah. The response is so repulsive because what they asked is like, oh, did you commit sexual assault? And what he said? Yes, I did. And so many more horrible things than that. And I don't need to talk about all of them. We don't have enough time. These are old stories.

Everyone knows I do terrible things. So 1998 called they want your sexual abuse allegation back it's it's it's very straight i mean and i and he's probably doing that like he sees what trump is getting away with and he's just sort of running that playbook of just being like look man i was i'm not a fucking angel you know what i mean and now they're talking about old stuff let's just move on and trying to just keep it moving but it looks a little bit differently when you come from this dynastic family and you're not like sort of a known media creature like trump is anyway that same article talks about how like last year he sent a picture to a friend of himself to pretending

to take a bite out of a barbecued dog we We don't know what this was. So Kennedy texted his friend who was traveling to Asia, this is from the Vanity Fair article, quote, that he might enjoy a restaurant in Korea that served dog on the menu, suggesting Kennedy had sampled dog. The photo was taken in 2010, according to the digital files metadata, the same year he was diagnosed with a dead tapeworm in his brain. When this article first published, Vanity Fair had asked a veterinarian to identify the animal. And they said that a telltale sign of it being a canine was this floating rib that it had. But they removed it after RFK claimed it was actually a goat. And I think other people pointed out that like they may have very similar rib counts. So it's not really conclusive as maybe the article had initially suggested. But he also just, again, he was on Chris Cuomo's show and he was asked about this barbecue

dog photo. And this was his answer in terms of being like, Chris Cuomo was like, could you believe it, man? We're both here. Semi-canceled dudes. You're running for president. I'm asking you about a barbecue dog. Any comment on that?

And then this is RFK Jr.'s answer. You know, I am a very adventurous eater, Chris. I think you know about that, that about me. I'll eat virtually anything. There's two things I wouldn't eat. Well, three, I wouldn't eat a human. I wouldn't eat a monkey and I wouldn't eat a dog. I think I'd eat anything else. You'd eat a cat? Do you eat ass, sir? Sir, no comment. I just couldn't bring myself to do those things. So it is a goat, and you are what you eat. The goat.

All right, Lionel Messi. I take it back. Okay, Leo. We got Leo Messi in the building. Got the fucking goat out here. So, you know, this is... Doesn't look like a goat. I'm not...

Looked like a joke. He was... Yeah, this was... I demand a rip count. Sorry. Go ahead. Wow. There's a hanging Chad on that rip.

Yes. But yeah, I like, you know, I don't know whether it's a dog or not, but there is an interesting other quote about this because some of his family members are also saying that like his brain fog that he like claims came from a dead tapeworm. They're more like it might have more to do with his like 14 years of being a heroin user, which could also alter the brain a bit. 14 years? Yeah. Yeah. This this article is pretty wild.

Yeah, yeah. This article is pretty wild. Like, because I mean, this guy, like, it was pretty much right after he, you know, his dad was murdered. Right. And like, just got on drugs for, yeah, until he was like in his late 20s, basically. Oh, shit. I had no idea it was that long. Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty long time to like survive as a heroin user. Yeah, yeah. To be, and you know, they're saying like he was shooting up speedballs in college and stuff. Jesus. There's a lot going on.

But anyway, this, yeah, for a guy whose dad was killed and then set you off on a chain of other events. We should just give him the presidency, guys. I feel like he's been through a lot. You know? Name recognition. Yeah. That feels like one of those like articles are like you know poor kid is named president of school because he's just been through a lot you know yeah i still

think or like that kid who got to be batman for a day in san francisco it's like it's a little bit of a make-a-wish situation i still am scared that donald trump is going to pick RFK as his running mate. And I know there's been an offer and Kennedy's like, never, fuck you. And Trump's like, I don't even want you anyway. You didn't even qualify for the debate, which by the way, RFK Jr. could potentially qualify for the September debate, which would be

if it's still Biden, if it's Harris, I'd love to see this sort of like double one of those nerd things? The double lightsaber situation happening there. Wait, double, what do you mean? Like Darth Maul? His two blazing lightsabers?

Yeah, like her being, I don't, shut up. If Francesca didn't know light, double lightsaber, she's not going to know Darth Maul. I do know who Darth Maul is, but i thought that i thought that ray also has two lightsaber so one of them one of the good ones has it yeah i look but whatever the point is that would be amazing so but but i do think trump could possibly choose him because he can't lose like trump kennedy you know that's just like yeah that's wild the dum-dums are like okay you want to talk about name recognition they're gonna be to be like, I mean, Kennedy. That can't be that bad.

But yeah, anyway, November, take your time. Everyone takes your time. Just draw it out. Can I live infinitely in this terrible liminal space forever? Okay, let's take another break. Let's drink some water and let's all check for tapeworms. And then we'll come right back. drink some water and let's all check for tapeworms and then we'll come right back i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life it's too late for that i have a proposal for you come up here and document my project all you need to do is record everything like you always 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 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller

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 the Biscuits.

It's right here in black and white in print. They lying. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As 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.

This show is la plática like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation

between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you.

We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And like I said, for the last two weeks, the internet has been just absolutely, well, not the internet, a very specific corner of the internet has been enthralled with the emergence of 21 year old tennessean hayley hock to a welch for people who don't know

and i'm sorry for those that do allow me to play this clip that that allowed for this uh social media ascension uh she was on one of those TikTok streamer channels where you're doing street interviews, and she was asked about, what's a move to drive the men wild? And here is her answer. What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time? Oh, you gotta give him that hawk too

and spit on that thing. You get me? And that, literally just that, just that has created an explosion of tweets, of memes. If you've been on Twitter at all, you've probably seen some form of Hak Tua or whatever. And again, because the internet is filled with horny men, this is a new, a new star was born. I'm not sure she is famous to the point that my mom would know about her, but she is definitely internet famous at this point. And the industry hawks, and the pun is intended there, are circling to figure out how to profit off of her. And she recently quit her job

and announced she's transitioning to a full-blown influencer career. Welch, quote, hasn't said exactly what her plans are for the future, but she has signed with a management and publicity team. Her new management team told me their first priority is to stop any unlicensed merchandise, fake social media accounts, or other content being made without her permission. She also plans to launch her own website and merchandise line later this week. Internet fame isn't always the springboard to an entire career in media.

As listeners of Jamie Loftus' new show, 16th Minute, will definitely know, and many observers of the internet, like the damn Daniel guys. Sure, they got free shoes for life, but it ended there. They didn't really do much after that. Alex from Target, remember him?

He tried having a career, but then essentially quit because he said it wasn't for him and he now has like a fulfilling life working at ups just like doing like completely out of the spotlight yeah so this is an interesting launch point from her i'm really hard pressed to see how this goes beyond like a couple of coffee mugs and like bottle openers and merchandise because the whole thing is just based off of talking about a phlegmy phlegm i think it is based off her southern accent i think that that twang is objectively adorable and if she has anything in her brain like if she's just like like minimally smart which i guess she might be because she had a straight up answer to that question rather than being like i don't know right which is probably

what i would say and also i'm not gonna fucking tell you yeah then i don't know if you would be like yeah you want to do a man on the the creepy old man internet perspective, which is, this is a young woman embracing her sexuality, who knows who she is like that is like what i am trying the feminist in me is trying to like sure but also the feminist in me is like what are you talking about and you're hocking loogies on dudes dicks like i don't know it's not my move what is this yeah right and hey look if that's what you get down with i'm glad you found somebody and there there's your queen but yeah it is you they referred to her i think her new management company referred to her as the female theo vaughn which is how i've been referring to myself for the past few years so i don't necessarily like

that they took that from my grasp but i i think it is so like it is a tightrope to watch like to walk to your point francesca where it's okay, do we want her to like, is she embracing her sexuality? And then like the old gross man thing is just so like omnipresent there where it's like, it's weird. I mean, she can immediately launch some sort of, you know, OnlyFans account, right? That's like the very, like lowest common denominator answer to what's next for Hawk Tua. Because then it then do you put her on like a reality show? Does she do like, you know, personal appearances that you can now charge like a shitload of money for? So, yeah, it's one of those. I'm not.

It's hard to now sound like, you know, like conservative old man where I'm like, well, you know, she quit her job. So let's make sure that she has a future and whatever she's doing. And, you know, she needs to get like, be like, hopefully these people are helping her for the long run instead of just, oh, let's grab as much, you know, merchandise as possible and then just throw this girl back into the world. And she's grown up too. So yeah, it's weird. Right. This is an interesting point of, about her that she deleted her social media account six months ago for personal reasons it's creepy seeing your face on another account that don't belong to you so i guess that's before she went viral or yeah even which is just like again that sounds like something a smart person would do you know like

like that sounds like someone who's sort of aware too much yeah and it's like the one time i share a little bit i went fucking viral right right right right right but i mean she was just recently on a podcast and she was also like asked they're they like are really interesting to just like a fuck mary kill type game it was like hawk tua or nah or they were just showing her pictures of like old dudes they're like asking if she would hook up with them. This is so weird. Anyway, this was her being asked directly. They showed her a picture, her and her friend who was also in the video, a picture of Donald Trump to be like,

Hey, you're going to hawk to that. This was her answer. Donald Trump. No, absolutely not. It's a no for me. So,

um, I don't know. Maybe Joe Biden can enlist her. She's definitely got some, some name cred right now, but i think at the very least her answer was i'm not attracted attracted to that man and on that same podcast when they're saying so like what's next like what are you doing she said quote i think we're gonna like do a show and then being on a bunch of podcasts and everything in between end quote so there's a plan it sounds well it sounds like one of those things are like you know industry people like

we got this whole plan for you hayley we're gonna get you on these shows we're gonna do some podcasts man you're gonna fucking love it man all right you're gonna do some ads for sin we're gonna get you on the zinner net man because that's kind of your niche um as many people describe kind of what's happening in that like barstool sports yeah yeah that she flourishes in so hey i they're gonna chew her up and hug her out yeah right oh yeah and producer victor is saying yeah a lot of people and this shouldn't be a surprise a lot of the people who fell in love with hawk to a girl did not like the answer that she said it's a no for me oh shut the fuck up isn't it bad enough she probably would vote for donald trump she also has to want to fuck him shut the fuck up

he is objectively disgusting yeah it is such a fucking gaslighting mind game that anyone whatever his own goddamn wife doesn't want to be in bed with him like shut the fuck up you already have to push back listen i want people to fuck my president i want everyone to fuck my president that's how i vote everyone needs to fuck my president well who's that's why i yeah which president would you have would you fuck i mean this is such an obvious answer yeah parting sorry president harding is who i would have partying yeah oh hell yeah i kind of like van buren because of all that just the facial hair i'm really into also i like i like long hair even though he didn't have much on uh i would pick andrew jackson because i hear racists are great in bed yeah that's it he

was a hell of a racist he was a absolute monster in this total. But yeah, I hope that this turns that you could turn this into a career. But it's just hard. It's like weird because it's built on this weird kind of purvy foundation. And but I guess that's, you know, what what the best celebrities do. They can start off for something you want to forget about in there. Next thing you know, there are next senator, which may work. I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, you know they're our next senator which which may work i don't know yeah um but yeah you know hayley excited to see what you got you know and excited to see i wish you the best i just feel like 21 is a very brittle age oh my god like right just like i'm just if i was no i mean

thank god i was 21 in the year of our lord 2005 when like the most you could do is like maybe have some shit on like MySpace. Oh, God. Yeah. And if I at the way my brain was forming at the time and I thought I literally knew every single thing there had to be known and no longer needed any advice or wisdom from people with experience, I would, I don't know what the fuck would have happened to me. So yeah, 21, not the best time in terms of being able to assess your situation, your needs or what your future could be. In Nashville. Yeah.
