And watch them all get COVID. Okay, shout out to atliterateplattip1. Literate Platypus for that Electric Avenue, a.k.a.

What a song that was. That was a jam. Wasn't there a Fuji's sort of remix of it with John Forte, I want to say, in the 98? I could have swore there was a John Forte Electric Avenue with Kaimani Marley, I want to say. But who knows? I could just be a kid blacked out on old records I got from Backside Records in Burbank. Forte Electric Avenue with Kaimani Marley, I want to say, but who knows? I could just be a kid blacked out on old records I got from Backside Records in Burbank. Backside, classic.

Is that because they would sell it out of the back of the store? Well, it was like janky, but what happened was it was all promo CDs from the industry. So basically, A&R people and interns would drop off stacks of new CDs from the labels. And you knew they were all the promo copies because everything was etched out. So we were talking about that Method Man album, the one where he crossed, you know, he jumped the shark. I bought that one there at Backside for like, because the dope thing about Backside is you had the satisfaction of opening a new cd for like a third of the price because they were just illegally selling promo cds so that's amazing shout out to them do they have the little drill through it to oh yeah oh yeah and like white label vinyls and stuff i got

my um uh we be clubbing iced tea vinyl there that i rocked one of my first parties with i had to get the single because i needed the instrumental for a longer intro. Y'all know how it is on the ones and twos. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious and talented person who's probably the most likely guest we've ever had to know what the fuck you're talking about right there. She is the hilarious, the talented, the brilliant Molly Lambert!

Hey, hey, hey! I'm trying to give a song parody what's up guys uh stop in game stop game stop in the name of the stock market before you crash the stock market before you take my yacht hey stop stop it with this what's up guys what's up manipulation what's up molly how are you i am good you think there'll be a new movement just like walking down wall street and starting to pat people's pockets you know what i mean like if you see a guy in a suit, you're like, what's up, homie? What you got for me? Like, oh my gosh. What's going on? I'm going to show up in costume as the Brave Girl statue.

Oh, not the Brave Girl from Brave. The Brave Girl. No, no. I do look like the Brave Girl from Brave. But there is a statue they put up of like, it's like a little girl boss. And she's like standing, looking at they put up of like, it's like a little girl boss and she's like standing looking at the bull and being like, hmm, I'm gonna get

you, bull. Girl boss. So yeah, everybody give the girl boss their money. Give it up for girl bosses. I also am into just bringing back like pick pottery. Yeah. Hell yeah. You said pick?

Pick pocketry. Pick pocketry, yeah. like pick pottery yeah you know yeah hell yeah you said pick it pick it pick pick pick pick yeah yeah pick pocket tree yes the forgotten arts arpal dodger yeah um i mean but pretty pretty uh like whenever you go anywhere that has like trains you got still got it's gonna happen yeah i uh my first time in new york when i lived in uh since i was younger i i lived in new york when i was like six seven but then uh as a as a teenager uh when i lived in kentucky my friends and i went to new york and i claimed that i had been pickpocketed and they were like oh shit that's wild and then they eventually learned that I actually just had like a 20 in the waistband of my basketball shorts and

they were like nobody pickpocketed that man that just like fell out of your basketball shorts you dumb fuck you had waistband money with no pockets yeah no pockets just a little 20 in my waistband you're asking for the Artful Dodger.

Yeah. I mean, it clearly fell out. Come pick a pocket or two. I remember those days. That's like when I used to wear only Nike basketball shorts before they wised up and put pockets in them. So I would be wearing Cincinnati Bearcats shorts, no pockets, and 80 bucks in my waistband.

Like pinned to my torso because I had. But I was really careful about that shit because I could. I remember I lost a five once riding my bike. And after that, I always kept track of my waistband. I just blamed it on pickpockets every time. Like these damn pickpockets. That was Times Square. Like, I was wearing

boxers, too, back then. You were like, all the warriors came through, like a gang in clown makeup. Appeared on roller skates and took your money. Remember those guys who were dragging their hockey sticks all menacingly on the ground as they walked towards us?

That needs to become a reality now that we're living in this world that bears a striking resemblance to lots of different works of dystopian fiction. We need to start dressing up as themed gangs. I mean, that's what the

capital storming seemed like a little bit. Yeah, but just not very well designed. Their theme was all dot matrix printer camo and red hats. It was a little bit clown gang, though. I had just watched Batman Returns

and saw a lot of similarities with just the roving clown gang. Right. So you want to see like the VSCO cam people like march on the Capitol. So there's a little bit more aesthetic to it. All right, Molly,

we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about. We're going to do a little sedition update, check in with the insurrectionists how they're being treated we'll uh take a look at frank biden the frank stallone of the biden administration the proud boys leader who is dropping dimes for the fbi like uh john stockton uh jewish space lasers we'll talk about those we'll talk about everything bagel ice cream which i'm going

to be uh taste testing this weekend i have to if it's not sold out i mean and we'll we'll check in with what we've been watching you know uh all of that plenty more but first molly we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, I was just reading about how the mini moon is going to disappear. Earth has a mini moon. We got two moons, a moon and a mini moon. The mini moon is about to fly away from our orbit forever. There's a mini moon? Yeah, there's a mini moon.

What the f- And now I'm find- You don't know what you've got till it's gone. Right? What? Where is it? How come I've never seen it? Or have I seen it and thought it was regular moon?

Because it's mini, I think. Okay. Oh, man. It's so small. It's called SO2020. SO2020's leaving? Yeah. We just learned.

It was a rocket booster that has been orbiting Earth for about 60 years, and it's going to drift off forever next month. Oh, so we're finally going to spin it off into some other unfortunate planet? Cool. Wait, it was a rocket booster from the space race? From the 60s, yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay.

Apparently, I don't know the reading about it. I don't feel that bad. No, no. It's just space trash that got a better name. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, isn't the moon just space trash? Thank you. Finally someone says it. I mean that as a compliment.

Oh, don't tell that to my moon gang out there. No, no. It's pro moon. Pro moon gang. Pro moon gang and pro moon though it's pro moon pro moon gang pro moon gang and pro moon pro trash oh man i'm still coming down from a wolf moon at the end of last week oh how'd you guys spend your wolf moon oh her majesty did like some candle shit i you've got candles burning in the background right now miles yeah that's because I got my room smelling. Look, I'll go on a tangent right now. But my room smells like my family house in Japan.

And I'm not joking. It's been a mixture of Japanese incense, blunt ash, and various scented candles. And I've dialed it in this week. And that's why it's actually in frame right now just to preserve the scent in my room for people. This is what I've gotten into because I can't go anywhere. My nose has become very sharp

and I'm like, I know this smell. This is when I was here and blah, blah, blah. And then I start trying to reverse what's that phrase? Engineer. Reverse engineer odors and things. I see a Daily Zeitgeist candle line in your picture.

Yeah. Very esoteric, hyper-specific. Miles' uncle's house in Japan. Backside records. Backside records. That's just Nag Champa and Optimus, probably. My childhood bedroom would have been

Renaissance Fair incense and Dr. Scholl's you know what my friend Tess Lynch did a good dive trying to find out people were posting about how GameStop has a very specific smell and everybody

was like what's up with the smell of GameStop is it just because it smells like incels coming to get their video games and then she found the answer which is that it has a specific smell because of the cases that the video games come in like degrade in the sun a little bit or like there's some kind of interest chemical that interacts from the plastic and so it smells like like melting plastic a little bit yeah so that's definitely giving us some form of cancer uh oh yeah slowly yeah it's yeah it's i guess the same thing like you know you have an old computer and it starts to smell and you're like my old I'm like it's rotting anytime you can smell plastic

or just like a thing that isn't biological you're like oh no no no what is something you think is underrated Molly underrated I'm gonna say pie the food pie

underrated and the food cake is overrated. What? All right. Let's get into this. Wait, isn't that... That kind of lines up with us. Or wait, you're more of a cake guy. Yeah, you're cake guy, and I'm pie guy.

I'm super sugar addicted, so I like a good sugary... Like that... What's magnolia uh cupcakes that are basically just crystallized sugar you like a birthday cake yeah yeah have you ever had a king cake jack no what is that it's a m Gras cake that is basically like a really good coffee cake with like a cream cheese frosting. And it's kind of like a cinnamony, just like super sugary. That is a good cake. And I ordered one like last week because, again, we can't go anywhere. So I was like, what can I do for fun?

I'm going to order a king cake because my boyfriend from new orleans with the home of the king cakes and then like three days later his mom sent another one because she didn't know we had bought one so then we had two i love it what first time i had king cake fucked my mind up because i thought i had had everything and i was at a wedding or like close to mardi Mardi Gras and the dessert spread had little mini king cakes and I was like, I don't need this. And a local was like, you never had one? I'm like, no. And I ate it and it was like, I saw the universe.

Yeah. It looks like coffee cake to me with that's just been dyed Mardi Gras colors. That is what it's like, but it's also like if you're a sweet guy, if you like a sweet thing, it's like just on the verge of too sweet. It's so good. Yeah, that does sound like me.

It's funny. So the pie thing, right? I feel like I went the opposite direction where as a kid, I loved super sugar, sugar, sugar. If it made my mom upset that I was eating it in front of her, I was like, yeah, that I want that. But then over time, I really had, I developed an appreciation for the pie because it was like, the filling wasn't as sweet, but had really good flavors. And then I was like, you know, pie crust for it not being like overly sweet. I'm like, when it's

good, I'm like, this shit is good. So I kind of shifted over to pie because I lost my sort of sense of hyper sugary shit. But I still love it. Don't get me wrong. But now I just like the pie a little bit. I feel like there's something. It's like a little Californian thing of just like I got to taste like something real in there somewhere. I need like a fruit. Right, right.

Or the mere hint of a lime rind or something. Yeah, yeah. It can't just all be like different variations of sugar. But if I had to choose between like an amazing funfetti cake and a pie, I would have a real dilemma. I just don't like frosting. I don't like plain cake frosting. I like whipped cream frosting is good.

Cream cheese frosting is good. But just kind of your regular birthday cake sugar flavored frosting yeah right right sugar cement that's interesting the the california of it all because uh i definitely picked up my taste in garbage like along the stops of like i i am a fan of mountain dew because of my time in kentucky uh probably like got my taste for just super dense sugary things from somewhere in there definitely not california yeah i mean i i like garbage too and obviously california has a lot of sugary garbage of its own uh but just yeah whenever i go to new orleans with my boyfriend there's like a point i reach where i'm just like and everything is so fucking good there like every food is amazing but i always reach a day where i'm like

i need a salad yeah i need a salad that doesn't have ranch dressing and fried shrimp on it exactly i remember yeah the my first time there at the end i was like i i've had frickles every day at least twice a day oh i eat fried oysters like five times a day yeah like i'm so good yeah exactly um and frickles are fried pickles yeah yeah i mean and you know we have them everywhere but like they're they're every like in new orleans they were everywhere and i love pickles and i was my first i'm like yep we're eating everything all the time did you or get your king did you order on gold belly or something like that no i ordered uh from hey directly which is a new orleans place um there's some places in la you can get them in south la

right uh but i didn't seem like they were open right now necessarily also. So yeah, I ordered one from Haydell's and Johnny's mom sent us one from a more local one called Marguerite's and they were both amazing. And what is your favorite pie? What's number one pie for you? Cherry pie. Wow, cherry pie. Wow, I never had a good cherry pie.

Kind of goes against my own argument where I'm like, I don't like sugary things. I like cherry pie. Because cherry pie is super sugary, obviously. Yeah, but it's got chunks of things that aren't sugar in there. Yeah, but they're in a gelatinous sugar. Sugar holder. Yeah.

But yeah, I like that. My mom makes a really good apple pie and a cranberry pie, which is like a New England pie that's really fucking good. Damn. You have to be confident in your pie game to make a cranberry pie because that shit could come out real bad. I've gotten really into making pies during COVID. It's something that makes me feel like i'm doing something from start

to finish cooking has also been my thing too of like a activity that gives me instant feedback i love to chop i love to just like slice and dice makes me feel relaxed it's because again i like especially towards the end of last year like and the election and like everything was just fully spinning out i was retreating to cooking constantly and the election and everything was just fully spinning out. I was retreating to cooking constantly and being like, yeah, I'm just going to razor slice this celery stock for a mirepoix later. I don't know. Fuck it. Yeah.

Why not? I might need that celery stock. I definitely did that. And the first thing I did when COVID started was I started a podcast about summer house on bravo i was like i felt so stressed out and for some reason i was like i feel like just like doing a podcast is gonna make me feel less stressed out even if nobody listens to it right right right miles number one number one pie number one pie oh i mean mine is key lime which is a cake ass pie so yeah um mine is um homegirl who's homegirl who won the kcrw the the npr apple pie contest and then she had a

restaurant on fairfax she's like the local pie god um and she has like she would have her stuff at like dinosaur and kof anyway she she talked she was on npr one day talking about this july flame pie that she makes that the july flame is apparently this a peach that at a in a certain part of july where the heat gets very intense it depends on the summer when the heat is very high it can create a thing called like the july flame peach um that has a lot more sugar in it and it's just like way just by virtue of the sun it's just like a like a one week out of the year you can harvest this pie she was talking about it on npr and then she said i so i have them out here like i talk to peach growers so i can always get my hands on because here, you can harvest this pie. She was talking about it on NPR. And then she said, I, I, so I

have them out here. Like I talked to peach growers so I can always get my hands on them. Cause they make the best like pies. You can barely need sugar for. And she's like, yeah, I have a couple right now. They're around the city. She's like, yeah, if you go to dinosaur, um, there's, I have some there too. At the time I lived like 10 minutes away from dinosaur coffee and I call my dad, I got it. And it was so good good because i love peaches and i it sounded mythical and the telling of like like where she got this peach but it was so sweet and you're talking about a marie calendar right yes marie condo yes um peaches have the i think the highest peak of any fruit like when they there when it's peach season like that

you know that shit starts hitting so hard i think maybe it's also because we're at a time now where we can't just get everything we want all the time anymore right right there is a difference between like non-peach season and in peach season so we're like whoa yeah like that i i've sort of gotten into it just because we have to you know but just sort of like you get whatever you get if you go to the farmer's market like whatever is in season that's what you get right now right and you can't just have something from the summertime in the winter even though though we live in California all the time. Yeah. It's Nicole Rucker.

That's who it was. Oh, that's who I was going to guess. Actually. Yeah. I mean, she's, it's Nicole Rucker's the goat.

Yeah. I think she has a place down at the grand central market now. Yeah. Cause Fiona is the spot that closed that she had to go down. That's what I was thinking of. Anyway, shout out to Nicole Rucker. She has a,

yeah, she has a rad book too actually that's kind of what got me into the pie game she has an amazing amazing cookbook that's all about yeah i mean dappled all about using fruit amazing fruit stuff anyway yeah nicole rucker for people who are just even interested you could tell based off the energy coming from molly and i were like yo get yes she has she's fantastic chef but her pies especially like she because that's what again she won like one of the old school mpr apple pie contests or whatever in that first elevated her star

all right guys let's take a quick break and we will be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

And we're back and uh let's talk sedition let's talk about them insurrectionists uh because yeah it seems like i don't know it we're we're in a weird between like we hear about one of the guys who starred in all the footage from the raid on the capitol getting arrested the american shaman yeah yeah we hear about one of them getting arrested the q anon shaman i think amer i believe american shaman is what they call jim morrison on a poster yeah oh probably but it feels like all everybody should have been arrested by now like all all of

them and uh any claims that they would be like flooding the court feel a little disingenuous since all courts are already flooded uh just seems like a matter of priority but uh some of them are out on bail already too yeah like real cheap bail too like a lot of them yeah that girl who everybody was doing memes about because she like laptop lady yeah laptop daria yeah yeah it's i mean you know and a lot of it too we've uh i think maybe mentioned on a trending episode but a lot of people who are like coming from you know law enforcement or whatever like a lot of those people are getting let out so they can self-own out in the wild again uh to like further incriminate other people because the second these people let out they start going like don't delete that because laptop daria went and immediately deleted stuff told other people to delete stuff. And they're like, thank you for pointing out to other people.

She got outed as, sorry, outed is probably not the right word here. Her ex-girlfriend was like, oh, hey, my middle school girlfriend stormed the Capitol. Wow. Stole the laptop and then like posted all these pictures of her and this girl in middle school. And everybody was like, oh, yeah, that's so weird. I went to that middle school too school and everybody was like oh yeah that's so weird i went to that middle school too we all knew that girl that's so weird she's a seditionist now yeah cool ah yeah so i guess uh that superlative in the notebook was or the yearbook was pretty accurate most likely to lead us into interaction um but yeah like you know as

we as we look at this we're always like like, who are they getting? When are they getting them? Because it's it's so front of mind, you know, because we saw what happened and we're like, justice, whatever. It's just us. So when you look at all the categories of people, you know, P-Jet Patty, Auschwitz hoodie guy, lectern man, QAnon Viking, like people who we knew just colloquially based on like the photographs and things like that. Those are people they just swept up easily because most of them actually ended up getting out like they're being uh identified by their friends and family so they're like cool great then the next tier that has is getting a lot of attention are the people who actually uh that were getting violent with the police and those are a lot of the people that we haven't heard as much about because they're trying to build much

larger cases against these people and for the most i was like oh right because i remember the dude who was getting crushed in the door or like obviously there was the officer who was killed with a fire extinguisher but we're now also seeing other things that the capitol police union is talking about like an officer was stabbed with a metal fence stake um others are like dealing with cracked ribs spinal injuries uh and we've saw how they were dismantling scaffolding or whatever to attack police. So that's like the next group that they're very much being like these. We have to get these people off the street. And then the third group are the people that planned and came prepared for like war.

That's those are the people that they're taking a lot of time on because these are these are the people we're going to get conspiracy charges the like uh who knows a whole stack of felonies maybe didn't even occur to me they were really going to charge these people because the whole thing was so i mean everything's been so weird for so long it's like each time it escalates it's like oh no i guess this is happening now right and it's hard to think like because we're so used to seeing a justice system that does not function at all. Everyone's first instinct was like, damn, all of those people just got away with that shit. Right. And also because we know that if it had been like a leftist protest that the cops would have been, you know, doing more violence on the protesters.

A lot more rubber bullets being shot out for sure. Yeah, the whole thing. I just feel like it was like everybody was a little traumatized and being like, yeah, yeah, it was so funny and weird. And then like a couple days later it came out like, oh, no, they might have like. Killed everyone. They were trying to like kill everybody. And we were like very close to that happening. Right.

We're just kind of like and it didn't not happen because like some, you know, some strategy, it really seems like it was just lucky. Yeah. It seemed absolutely. It seemed more like out based on circumstance that there are like a couple things went the right way at certain points to keep people safe.

Right. Like we still don't even really know. Like AOC said something about like, she thought there was a moment she thought she was going to die. Like we still don't even really know. AOC said something about there was a moment she thought she was going to die. We still don't even really know what happened in the Capitol during those few hours. this whole situation is, but the group that they're really looking at are the oath keeper types, the militia groups. And the feds talk about that there's three affiliates of oath keepers who they were monitoring and they know they had an effort to obstruct the counting of electoral college votes. They have text messages that talk about logistics and committing violence like on like on behalf of the president for weeks before this actual moment and they're saying like even if they aren't the ones who got as violent

as some of the other people like that they have on wax this is the one that they're really focused on because they're like these are the people who are aren't just going to be a threat as they say on january 6th there's people the 7th 8th 9th february 6th that are like long-term threats that they have to identify because while yes all the people who just self-owned taking selfies in the capital and trespassing and all that they're they will their time will come but it seems like right now they have to they're really trying to get their handle on the more organized people that are out here training in real time for some kind of additional attack or something. or a Black Lives Matter protest or Al-Qaeda or any sort of threat that they take seriously

and use excess violence against. They could have arrested all 800 of the people who charged into the Capitol and charged them with criminal trespass. It's a decision that they're not like it's. Oh, yeah. It's also like they let it get to this point by not treating it like a threat the way that they treat non-threatening things like a threat. Right. I mean, the person, the FBI director is still Christopher Ray same FBI director under Trump it's

yeah and I mean a lot of leftists immediately were like oh they're just gonna use this to like make a lot of rules about how you can't protest that are then just gonna be used to like screw people on the left more and that is right already happening yeah as opposed to prosecuting the

very specific people who did this thing yeah they're just making broader rules that they can use to their own uh you know however they want um yeah right i saw a lot of people being like this is just gonna get us like patriot act part two yeah yeah i mean it's especially like when i think while a lot of people are trying to be quick to be like, don't call terrorism, don't call terrorism, don't give them more rhetorical momentum for more anti-terrorism bills and budgets and things like that, because that's not what this is. And there are already laws to handle this. It's just that y'all have to stop doing the thing of like, well, is it white people, though? all have to stop doing the thing of like well is it white people though and just in general like we've we've talked a bunch on the show about how you know historically uh the first failed fascist coup is not the last uh attempted coup and sometimes they're followed by more organized and effective fascist coups. And the one way that you can see them doing this moving forward

is by focusing on QAnon and the demoralization and anger and trying to focus that into more focused and extreme white supremacist ideologies. There's like minutes after Biden's inauguration, there's this FiveThirtyEight article that looks at, like, commentary on some of the far-right apps, and it's, like, people from the right were saying, like, don't let this moment slip by.

Capitalize on their anger. Radicalize. And demoralization will give way to righteous hate in defense of what they love. That's like a militia person. Never let a crisis go to waste. It's a concerted effort to take the blind and sort of misguided outrage of QAnon and try and direct it into something more organized and less, I guess, diffuse and just aimless. Yeah, it's...

I don't know. The hunger of these militia groups and other extremist groups to court the QAnon people is really... Oh yeah, I hate how totally correct Robert Evans was about everything. Yeah, right. The whole time I was like, oh yeah i hate how totally correct robert evans was about everything yeah right the whole time i was like could it happen here oh i guess it could

right happen here it happened here it happened here yeah it happened here could i mean i guess the this article points out that one thing that they're being a digital cult like the organization disadvantage that they have is that they can't take everybody and put them out on a farm isolated from society there's a few reasons they're disorganized right right there's also maybe we'll get to it later the jewish space laser right yeah it's a little like a place like it's hard to organize when a lot of the things you believe in aren't real right yeah it's like the things you believe in are lighting fires all around you uh right exactly can't keep track of it all the um but yeah i mean the so like there they wrote about how some of the q people q supporters have been

converted by people just being like come on like look what happened look at look at the inauguration but um you know they they're the people who are able to you know be like uh my bad and then they're the people who are not able and who are going to go deeper and just kind of imagine being my bad after like completely like alienating your entire family like losing everything that you hold dear because you believe in this thing and then you're just like oops yeah that was like me at 14 when I wanted to be the rock yeah similar things I cast aside my family name from my diploma so I could be

say my middle name was Rocky and it was a whole controversy is that true yeah and then and then came back and was like yo my bad on that like after I graduated high school I was like that was a little selfish okay but miles rocky gray yeah it was dope and i was out there i had the fucking eyebrow going because you know there weren't many blazing and now i see it

wait you just did the rock eyebrow now yeah to bring the millions did you like that wyclef song to bring it back to the wyclef oh yeah I had all the remix albums I mean it doesn't matter you get that it doesn't matter yeah it was that that's that was a joint but yeah I I mean it wasn't quite QAnon but I I think everyone's had moments it's curious to see like how many people have actual my bad on that one uh returners uh who are coming back because I don't when I read stuff i'm i've been kind of split on seeing things on the internet where some things seem too self-aware that i'm like not sure if someone's just trolling in these like forums and stuff to try and like

bring people out writing fiction being like i thought this was real but now i see that it was wrong and stupid and i've lost my family and other seem like, then anecdotally I do hear, they're like, hey, I heard from so-and-so in a long time. Because the last thing was there was a fork in the road because I wasn't willing to believe something they said about Chinese spies. I mean, if you really thought Hillary was going to get executed on stage at the inauguration or whatever and then it didn't happen that would be really disillusioning yeah and so i mean they break it down into three

categories that are the people who are like well so the reason that didn't happen is because that inauguration was actually filmed uh weeks ago and the real one actually happened and they were executed, but you didn't get to see it because Trump is... And then there are the people who are going deeper into extremist ideology and then, yeah, the people whose friends and family

are better people than me and are like, come on back. I saw one I didn't know if it was fake where it was like they actually did a face off when you see biden getting inaugurated it's actually trump wearing biden's face as a mask yeah and i like that one i really love that one kamala uh was not actually sworn in because there was a zipper on her Bible. And so she had her purse in between her hand and the Bible. Uh, like that,

that's a, that was a theory that was going around. That's a real theory. That's crazy. And there's another, like DC was like an autonomous country. Therefore two people couldn't lead it at one. There was so,

I mean, credit to some of the people who would with zero understanding of legislation or law or the Constitution just took hunt and picked words and combine them into this loose logical explanation as to like, don't worry, all good, all good, all good. It's also so crazy to me, too, because it's like the calls coming from inside the house. looking for a child trafficking conspiracy. Like, Elaine is still in jail, and they still really haven't talked about all the details of, like, why people were being protected by the U.S. government to, like, do some child trafficking for decades. Yeah, there's a lot of question marks still with her testimony.

It's like, we have no idea what's going on in there. That's what's kind of frustrating. Like, I was reading the um jewish space laser uh thing from marjorie uh marjorie we'll just call her i can never remember lady q anon lady but she like in her long ranting post that is like i'm just saying they put the uh satellite up there and who knows people are reporting uh beaming light that came down and started the fire like just wild uh unhinged shit there's also stuff in there that is you know she's pointing out that uh i think it's diane feinstein's husband is like the main contractor in charge of the like this major project the uh bullet train line

between la and san francisco like that's the sort of shit that like does happen and is bullshit and like there there's enough real stuff out there but they they like choose to focus it on you know it's sort of a natural consequence of like all the information being available uh and like 75 of it being bullshit once you get into the da vinci code stuff too which is what happens to all these people eventually they're like oh well like her name starts with l which like corresponds to this letter in the Kabbalah. And like they did this many, you know, whatever's. And that's how we know.

It just gets to a point where it's like indistinguishable from certain kinds of mental illness that also make you feel like you're understanding everything. They're addicted. They're addicted to the feeling of like, I'm about to discover it. But I also, you know, I go down holes like that on the other side. Oh, yeah. Sure. Yeah. I mean, there were times I literally thought I was cracking the matrix on the Internet. I'm like, hold on, hold on. What? Okay, now I got to do some research. But at a certain point, like some most people get they they have that realization of you don't know what you don't know. And you can't do that then yeah this is this will continue down the path um let's talk frank biden real quick uh

gay francis francis biden the president's little bro uh he also likes to use the family name in uh advertising settings. Yeah. You know what I mean? You know, same shit, different party. But don't think Frank Biden ain't going to cash in on that shit. So he's a senior advisor for the Berman Law Group in Florida, and they're based in Boca Raton. And there was an ad featuring Frank Biden, like a printed newspaper ad the day of the inauguration and the ad is like talking about this lawsuit um that the firm is leading against a group of like sugar cane

companies and and the actual lawsuit is like it's not bullshit like they're suing them because these sugar cane companies apparently they're just like burning the stocks and it's it's causing a pollution problem and it's a health hazard for the residents and they're like okay we're here on behalf of those people to get you to stop this practice but like this ad really just has like frank biden along with these quotes like talking about the incoming president and the family name so um the first of all this ad says the two biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront the president-elect has vowed to rejoin the paris agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets for example and then it

goes on frank biden say my brother is a model for how to go about doing this work one of his central tenets is that one should never question another man's or woman's motives or assign blame to them that way you avoid creating a disparity that prevents any kind of coming together you can of course question someone's judgment and that's what we're doing by bringing this to court even his even his quote from his brother is rambling and it's confusing. And does he make Biden seem kind of like on point? I guess. I mean, like, apparently that's what we call Roger Clinton.

Right, right, right. You know, because first of all, Frank Biden is a non-attorney senior advisor. So it sounds like you're just signing up my man's for the name. He did start working there i think right maybe slightly before biden announced his candidacy um but this lawsuit is weird fred taylor the old the running former running back of the jaguars is also part of this law firm is that something that just generally people do when there's a class action lawsuit is like get celebrity endorsement i maybe it helps visibility or something i don't know man but i was like this whole loss this whole like law firm's interesting like you have fred taylor and then frank biden

like right it's a who's who of legal experts fred and frank uh once he got fred and frank on board yeah giving me big frank stallone energy 100 i'm hoping we this he becomes like he's he's a lot louder than he needs to be well i mean the biden family is rife with like fun fun relatives? Hunter is, it's going to be hard to beat or even come close to matching Hunter. Uh, but maybe Hunter and Frank can like team up. Right. Yeah. Road trip.

Yeah. Oh, okay. But yeah, it's weird though. This photo, if you just look up Francis Biden, it's so funny looking because it looks like if Biden was like a Florida con

man, it really does. It's so funny. Cause it's like, yeah was like a Florida con man. It really does. It's so funny because it's like, yeah, that's his brother. Like you look at him like, yeah, you got Biden face. We got to make Frank Biden a star. And he's like, he's all sunburned in this photo and he's got his like weird Ray-Bans on. And I'm like, yo, this dude's scamming.

No, he looks like a Florida man. He looks 100% like he could be a guy from the Trump administration who you're like some weird scuzzy tan guy from Florida. It definitely looks like the photo could either be a picture of Frank Biden or like a where are they now Trump administration edition of people.

And it's like, and Frank Biden lives in Boca with a wonderful tan. You have to wear a uh like loose but still fitted t-shirt once you're over the age of 60 and move to florida is that just to like reclaim your vitality to be like look at my muscles are still under there yeah yeah and it's just like a vague it gives you a vague body shape thing i'm gonna wear a fucking tunic when i'm fucking 50 oh absolutely out of here all right my clothes are getting baggier and baggier the more i age uh and finally i want to talk about this uh leader from the proud boys uh his name is enrique

tarrio or tarrio so he got arrested a couple days before i think it was like january 4th uh and uh it was for tearing black lives matter signs off of a church and burning them in the street uh there were pictures and video of him like with the signs and they were burnt in the street so he also had two high capacity magazines right him with proud boy stuff which is like a big big no-no yeah so uh they he was being held uh when the january 6th uh insurrection happened um and reuters went and looked into his backstory and they found uh that he is like one a hall of fame like undercover operative for the fbi just like a john stockton level dime dropper uh like he uh there's this quote from the reuters article that is like a transcript from the trial he got so he got caught um uh in a fraud case where uh he pled guilty to

stealing and relabeling diabetes test kits which is just some real fraud fraudster shit uh and the trial he got his uh sentence reduced from 60 months to 13 because he uh helped the prosecution of those running other separate criminal enterprises ranging from running marijuana grow houses in miami to operating pharmaceutical fraud schemes but when you hear the uh attorneys talk about him as an asset it's like they're in awe of how much he has done. They're like, no rat has ever ratted. Right, exactly. You got master here.

You might have magical rat. So this is called Master Splinter, the level of mastery of ratting he's done. This quote from, I think it was his attorney, yeah, said, Your Honor, frankly, in all the years years which is now more than 30 that i've been doing this i've never had a client as prolific in terms of cooperating in any respect um so that's that's their leader good for him most people don't know what prolific means

i mean because i think now a lot of people are like what does that mean for proud boys i think it it ended a few years ago like the last time he was but i mean once you go rat you never go back i can't imagine especially when they catch you with high capacity magazines like that in the capital and they're like okay so you want to talk again baby yeah uh that's why they were so prepared for the january 6th insurrection they were on top of it um i i actually kind of view it the other way though like it makes sense that the that like the dude who is the leader of this white supremacist uh organization that is treated so well by uh law enforcement is always like somebody who plays both sides like not necessarily that he's like you know using plays both sides what if it's all one side yeah right exactly what if law enforcement already

agree with the proud boys so and so they're all in uh cahoots yeah it makes sense that he's you know no you think the guy leading america's fascist movement is at the forefront of blending being a criminal with being a cop like those are the two sides of america that uh fash the hardest so it makes sense that he's like on both sides but i'm curious what he does out of self-preservation right because all of these people have shown themselves to not be loyal to the movement snitches on other on other people right right so because i know like q anon shaman was in the headlines this over the weekend because his lawyer was like yo he'll help you bring he'll give up trump like whatever you need him to do like this guy doesn't want to be in jail because he needs his organic food that they're accommodating him because he's white that was so infuriating but

like i'm i'm curious to see how this all breaks down because a lot of people like it whether it's the internet celebrities of the capital raid who are like i didn't know and he told me to do it like how like what that turns into out of self preservation for these people that are facing some kind of liability and how that turns into you know whatever epic self-owning for everybody but yeah i'm sure he's doing it in a way that is beneficial to the long run interests of white supremacists right like and white enrique check your own receipts honey they don't want you right um but yeah the i don't know it just seems like they're doing as little damage and as much uh

ineffective kind of investigation and taking down of of the fascist side of things which is a pattern if you listen to robert evans and prop on behind the insurrection that's a very easy way for them to make sure that fascism doesn't get stamped out when it first rises up. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about everything bagel ice cream. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of this right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI

in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

And Nancy Pelosi told me about this new treat that she's stocking in her fridge. In your telegram channel called Lit Freezers? Yeah. Jenny's, which is what

Nancy Pelosi had her fridge stocked with. It's like $14 a pint ice cream. It's $9, Jack. Don't get ahead of yourself. I don't know. I think it's like $12, maybe. You't get ahead of yourself. I don't know. I think it's like 12 maybe.

You guys are just like Nancy Pelosi. You have no idea how much a pint of ice cream actually costs. I don't know, $43? So out of touch. How much is a banana? Did you guys read there was that interview with Billie Eilish the other day where she was like, I don't know how much cereal costs. So I ordered like what I thought was a box of cereal and it was like 50 boxes of cereal.

She thought a cereal box was like $50. Yeah. She doesn't know. Fucking Billie. No, you're too young. She probably doesn't even know what that means because she's been rich for so long. It's like a combination of like you're a teenager who maybe doesn't buy your own groceries and now you're incredibly rich and have no idea how much

things cost because she she completely skipped that phase of life where you have like a little bit of money that you've earned and you try and go out to eat with your friends right that's a very formative period so if you go straight from i don't know every time i go my parents pay for everything to i don't know my accountant i have a card that my accountant gave me and i just i wave that at whatever yeah you don't have to choose between like seeing the movie and having dinner exactly or be like all right fuck it let's let's let's figure out you got a calculator or just do it on paper with the tax okay so we'll get nachos and then a quesadilla and then we'll all have enough to go in the movie and then maybe split a smoothie at the end okay there's also that point where you're growing out of like being young enough where it's still kind of cute that you

don't know stuff uh right right which is why it's not cute that Nancy Pelosi doesn't know. It's a bad look to have 500 pints of really expensive ice cream in your fridge when people are starving. And you're like, how much is a vial of insulin, Nancy? I don't know. She's like, I don't know, like three pints of Jenny's? Three ice creams, yeah, exactly. But yeah, so this boutique creamery Jenny's, it's not really boutique, It's a chain now, right?

They're huge now. They're huge. But they dropped a flavor everything bagel. And I don't know if it was viral marketing or whatever, but they- I'll call it violent marketing. They had somebody who I follow and trust on social was like, I don't know how it's this good, but it is. And I was like, well, that's enough for me. Yeah.

I'm in. I'm worried. Because when I saw the thing, I'm like, get the fuck out of my face with this everything bagel ice cream. My friend Goldie was like, come on, you cowards. Put locks in there. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Yeah.

Let's actually, yes. I would try that. You're going gonna do it they they mention how you know the like cream cheese is like a great already stabilizer for ice creams as it is so you don't have to put in a lot of like artificial things in it so cream cheese is always like for for people who make ice cream isn't anything new um so i was like okay fine i see the logic there but like really like what's the description they say it's cream cheese ice cream with everything bagel gravel right so that means like poppy sesame onions and garlic here's what i think yeah wait really

onions and garlic yes yeah that's everything bagel everything i was just thinking like salty i mean i love everything bagels and i like a salty sweet thing but i just i didn't like it with garlic i'm blaming this entirely on the trader joe's everything bagel seasoning that came out like last year where they put all that stuff in a shaker so you could just put it on stuff and then in true trader joe's fashion they started just making a lot of other products that have the everything bagel bagel seasoning on it so i think kind of the idea of everything bagel there's also just kind of like a bagel boom going on for who there you're late to the party y'all there's been no bagel boom there's i've been

i've been down with the bagel boom since the 80s there's uh i just feel like anytime you make a savory ice cream flavor you're dancing with the devil did you ever go to stinking rose the garlic restaurant yeah but i did not get the garlic okay so i've had garlic ice cream before and garlic ice cream isn't bad you know it's not like something i go oh fuck get the garlic ice cream because it's going up tonight but it's one of those things you eat and you're like, damn, I'm actually more interested because it's not bad. I honestly think there are.

Yeah, I mean, like if they didn't call it ice cream, I think that's the key. I think if you made like a, like I thought, I think about this always in the summer, like soup popsicles, like a gazpacho popsicle and like a tomato soup popsicle maybe not a clam chowder popsicle but just things like that just thinking about it but i think you have chili popsicle you gotta call it like a granita or something if you call it an ice cream like people's minds go

to sweet and i feel like most of the time when people try to do savory I don't really fuck with all those artisanal ice creams that have like fucking like duck skin in them or whatever you know there's been a lot of that lately wait there was man you gotta put me on to that like salt and straw all their weird ass flavors you know things where it's like a thing you wouldn't expect in ice cream that's in ice cream right and there's a place in Philadelphia called Little Babies that did a pizza ice cream. No, thank you. Right.

Like, I don't want that. I respect its right to exist. But OK, so it's one of those things. The idea you say no to just like I would say no to everything bagel ice cream. No, don't need it. But we all have this morbid fascination to try. Would you not try this pizza ice cream, Jack? I'll try anything.

Okay. I'll try anything for free. Right. Right. All right. Then maybe what we'll do is we could all go in a couple bucks. Maybe we'll have zeitgang because it's expensive. If the listeners and all of us put in a dollar, we might be able to afford one of these pints.

One of the everything bagel pints? Yeah. All right. Wait, this is like related, but did you guys see the mac and cheese, the pink mac and cheese? Yeah, we talked about it last week. It made me hate mac and cheese more. By the end of talking about it, I was like, Kraft has lost its way. And it's like the QAnon aunt.

You're like, I got to put you to bed now. I just feel like you could make it pink without making it sweet yeah sweet mac and cheese again but then i'm like isn't it maybe sweet mac and cheese is just kugel um yeah a little bit i think again it's like you just have to have different words for these things you could talk somebody into a sweet pasta you just have to not call it craft mac and cheese but it's sweet because then your mind just reels yeah i guess kugel would have been better because now that you say that i'll be like well yeah okay because i'm pro like dessert pizza i'm pro a pizzooki well yeah i mean but a pizzooki

is like not mixing flavors it's just like taking the concept of pizza and putting desserts in the shape of pizza. Like I'm all about that. But like trying to make the base of the dessert actual pasta. I cannot abide it. BJ's, that's one of those restaurants like in my late teens that you're like, yo, we're going to BJ's brewery with our fake IDs fuck out of here and then you're like we can't really afford to drink in public

laughter laughter yeah you can't afford the prices at any of those barcades those are for the barcades scene in LA is despicable

I'm like what y'all are charging so much money for these games like no have you been to that one spot in hollywood that's like the pizza 90s pizza arcade in the before no i haven't been in there yeah the pizza was okay and the you know they were they're going for an aggressive 90s aesthetic that just felt a little ham-fisted for me. It feels ham-fisted, but then there was also that one in like Down by Dodger Stadium. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That I was like, oh, this is so stupid. And then I was like, oh no, they like exactly got all the games. They nailed it. Well, they got, it's like it wasn't 80s games. It was like late 80s, early 90s games. So it was like arcade games. Like you, we all would have played at a pizza hut. And I was like, they got me.

God damn it. You bastards. I think button mash is still in business too. Maybe. I mean, I can't imagine the barcade business is like very popping right now. There's one in Echo Park that closed, I think. Yeah, I'm sure. It's tough.

There's one in Echo Park that closed. I think. I'm sure. It's tough. For me, I did all the experimenting I needed this week when I got a Reese's Peanut Butter Big Cup with chunks of pretzel inside. No, the chips one. Oh, chips? There's one with chips.

Oh, really? The pretzel one is good as fuck. Oh, my God. Her Majesty steals them from set and brings them here. Like any good person. If you have a partner who works in production, they better be stealing from Crafty for you and bringing it home. But she came home with them and she's like, you'll never guess what's happened.

I don't know. You got a promotion? I hadn't seen them, but the chip one is fucking really good. It's like Ruffles in there. I will fuck with some potato chips in there as like a salty accent. That sounds crazy. I might do this everything bagel ice cream.

You got to do it. I want to know. Let's do it. It doesn't, especially because it doesn't have lox in it. Like it sounds like it might not even be that crazy. Like it'll taste like a cheesecake ice cream probably. Right. The closest thing they say is like if you've had a garlic ice cream, that was good. Or it's just like it's subtle.

It's there. But you're not like, what the fuck? It's like a frozen bagel. What the fuck is this? You know what I mean? Like it apparently has. But I would do like, you has but i would do like you know i would do a sour cream ice cream there there are other you know there's like a really good

avocado ice cream the filipino ice cream things that you might not necessarily consider for ice cream then you have it in ice cream and you're like actually this kind of makes sense there's only one way to find out uh finally let's uh let's just talk about real quick what we've been watching see if anything comes up uh i've just been binging better call saw the simpsons than nba basketball so nothing very interesting there oh wow um and that's it i've been watching oh so okay off the strength of you saying that the leftover season two is like one of the best seasons of television ever written i started watching the leftovers because i was here for watchmen and i was like okay well let's see what we'll see what lindelof did when he said a white guy was god um and the show i was yo if it kind of fucked me up because it's a little ahead

of its time uh and it was sort of reading the future in i mean not that it knew it could foresee q anon and things like that but this the departure and how people that like represents a forking off for people on what they're believing is real. I was watching this like, oh my, this is so, it was kind of turbulent to watch, but it was actually elegantly written, I will say. Yeah, season two, I really loved. For some reason, I didn't watch season three.

I loved season two, and loved the pilot of of season one the very first episode I liked Justin Theroux in sweatpants took me through a lot of that show man I was watching with her majesty she's like how is he so like sculpted I was like I don't know maybe he has a trainer

or something we can look into that maybe his girlfriend doesn't bring him uh peanut butter cups with chips in them yeah um right but it's it i get it because he's uh he's i didn't i didn't know who he was like aside from being with jennifer aniston like i didn't i'm not good at knowing actors he's also he's also a writer he's he's a funny dude oh is he really yeah he don't tell me that molly come on i'm sorry i'm sorry he's got it all he's got it all sorry to tell you guys there are other handsome funny guys out there that can do it all he is he wrote

tropic thunder and he wrote tropic thunder yeah what and i just i just watched something else that he wrote the other day some other semi-recent comedy yeah maybe he's god the um he's really funny also have you guys seen wanderlust the david wayne movie where they go to a con yeah yeah i have he's like the guru in that and he's so funny yeah does he appear in the other two or is he just like a present in that i really liked their uh idea of justin throw like they airbnb justin throws house and it's like just this like weird austere thing but i don't remember if he actually appeared but he had to have agreed to it and it's very funny yeah seems chill yeah uh i watched the arrival from 1996 with charlie oh yeah not arrival bending the other way the arrival the arrival yeah wow yeah where the where the legs bend the other way yeah uh and charlie she Sheen has a crazy facial hair arrangement.

Right. That's the one thing I remember from that movie is that he has evil, jerky beard. Yeah. It's on Hulu. And then when he's supposed to be going more crazy, it finally grows out into a real beard, and that's less stressful when it becomes a real beard.

Oh, got it, real beard oh got it got it got it you do justin thoreau's right no these credits are ridiculous yeah he wrote iron man 2 yeah what like what where is this fool coming from right now so he's just like a successful hollywood writer that somebody was like yo that dude is really handsome who just pitched us something like i think a little bit yeah i'm not sure exactly and he's like best friends with amy Somebody was like, yo, that dude is really handsome who just pitched us something. I think a little bit. Yeah, I'm not sure exactly. And he's like best friends with Amy Sedaris.

He's got it all. Best friends with my Amy? Yeah, he shows up on her show a few times. He shows up once as a ghostly sea captain. Yeah, dude. Tropic Thunder screenplay story credit. Iron Man 2 screenplay credit. Rock of Ages screenplay. Oh, that's what I watched that you wrote. It was Rock of Ages.

And Zoolander 2. I also recommend Rock of Ages, which I watched. Wait, really? Rock of Ages? Yeah. Have you seen it? No. No. I immediately like just the preview of that immediately made me not want to see it. But i think zoolander 2

is pretty good like rock of ages is like a pretty stupid movie adapted from a jukebox musical about hair metal right but it has an absolutely incredible tom cruise performance in it where tom cruise plays like a hair metal guy He plays like the leader of a fictional, super successful hair metal band. And his character's name is Stacy Jax. Oh, that's why on the poster, it doesn't say Tom Cruise and it says,

Oh, it says, and Tom Cruise as Stacy. Okay. I was like, you got to watch it because it's like everybody else in this movie is giving it like they're all, but Tom Cruise is seriously giving an Oscar-winning performance in Rock of Ages as like Bret

Michaels, basically. So Justin is basically the Tom Cruise whisperer because if he wrote Tropic Thunder, he brought out one of the most hilarious comedic performances of Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. Was that where the trust was built? Where he's like, Tom, I got to get you in Rock of Ages, man. They were like, look, we have a brotherhood of funny guys that are also really hot. And we can't let people underestimate us for being hot guys with really strong hairlines. We got to let them know that we also-

Justin Theroux's not as strong. I was peeping that. I was like, okay. He was having an evolution throughout The Leftovers with his hairline. Could be a transplant. Who knows knows oh yeah now that i'm seeing these promos for us and now i'm like hey my man had the hairline grow uh everybody's got a transplant that you think uh has got the good hair usually those oh yeah leading men listen to my podcast called uh bitter and bald was i call out the people who have fake hair fuck that fucked me up. I'm gonna have to

watch Rock of Ages now. You should watch Rock of Ages. It's just also like I was it was like one of the really bad days and I was like, what is gonna just completely bleach my brain out and not make me think about anything going on right now? And it was nourishment. And it was Rock of Ages. Yeah. And it's also like

all the songs are good and they set dressed miami as the sunset strip and it's totally weird that's so strange just in terms of uh zeitgeist watching things we talked about uh wonder woman 84 and soul they finally kind of put together some stats on that they were both watched by like 15 million people um so they we were trying to like figure out how big a hit those were they would have been like between the fifth and sixth biggest movie of 2019 uh so between aladdin and jordan peels us um so it's not like they're just dominant but they're pretty big yeah what else are people going to do but watch Wonder

Woman I think it's one of the few times I was at the pace of the regular world in terms of watching a new release I'll watch something if they bring it to my door and put it on versus me trying to find like CityWalk parking discount like coupons and then

oh man one of the last things i did before uh quarantine started was make a little short film at city walk called called where's gilane with my friend is gilane because i thought it was funny that she was at the in and out i was like oh what if she's just at city walk but like i remember i just was like oh my god it costs like 30 to park at city walk but i'm gonna do it and now i don't regret it at all now i'm like man i'm so glad i went to city walk yeah i'll send it to you oh please do because that's my stuff man i used to run from the curfew sheriffs fucking on the regular out there it was like the whole joke of my short film was that uh that city walk is this place that's like supposed to be full of people but seems semi-abandoned no for real it's uh and now every place is like that so the next big one that's dropping on hbl max actually dropped on friday and i didn't even

realize it the uh the little things yeah Little Things, which is a title. They gave that the title of a rom-com, like a semi-earnest rom-com. And it's a thriller. It's trying to be like a Silence of the Lambs type thing. People are saying Slate had a headline. The only thing I saw that said, it's shameless copaganda.

They're like, this movie was made said, like it's shameless copaganda. They're like this, this movie was made like decades, like should have been made decades ago for its take on like law enforcement. And you're like, Oh, yeah. Uh, cause the screenplay was written in 93.

episode, as well as the song we ride out on. Miles, what are we riding out on today? This is a track that I want to play. It's one called Unas Horas, and it's from out on today? This is a track that I want to play is one called Unas Horas. And it's from Singe Clark, who is, from what I've gathered, this like Australian producer who like makes like, you know, in the year of our Lord 2021, 2019, then 2020,

is making sort of like throwback-y, like ambient disco music. But it's like got really good musicians on it. Not that like they're known, but like you can hear that like these people are really good on their instruments. And it's super easy to listen to and it's funky. So this is from a new mixtape or EP he has out, but he has another album I was listening to called music for an Italian

afternoon. And you know, your boy loves Italy. And since he can't go there, this track isn't, I mean, that album is also great background music. I'm all about the background music right now.

But this one is Unas Horas by Singe Clark. All right, we're going to ride out on that. The Daily Zeitgeist is a production of iHeartRadio.
