Well, Miles, we're actually going to get to a story about haunted dolls that contain the souls of dead humans a little later on. Amazingly, our amazing writer, J.M. McNabb, must have had a sense that it was Chucky the notorious killer doll day because he submitted a story that all too appropriate for this day of on which we honor Chucky. But my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Somebody once wrote me a great a.k.a. only to have me fuck it up in recording. only to have me fuck it up in recording i was feeling pretty dumb while twiddling my thumbs as i missed the cues and intonation uh that was mean pod moran but a very good ak nonetheless

code phrase that you would use. The bartender's name is Mono Agapian. That's hilarious. Also, one of Google's top suggestions when you put his name is Mono Agapian boyfriend? So you know he's hot. Please welcome One of Google's top suggestions when you put his name is Mano Agapion Boyfriend. So you know he's hot.

I knew the internet was horny, but I didn't know they were that horny. you my friend wow wow you know what a treat what a fucking goddamn treat you know because some days you wake up and you're like jesus christ this this bot this bag of flesh

i'm living inside is a curse a nightmare and nothing but trouble and then you know you get a nice compliment you feel good about it all. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's nothing like living inside a haunted doll, as we will soon find out. Oh, God, I love Chucky. That's a thing you can do, though? I would love to live in a haunted doll for a little bit.

Just try that out. Yeah. Apparently, according to eBay, you can buy one for the low, low price of $750. Oh. So, okay. Say less. i do love creepy victorian dolls and i love creepy photos of like you know like these like take pictures of like dead victorian like they would die and they like then they'd take a picture of their kid because they're dead have you seen

that shit yeah yeah yeah just like their eyes are dead yeah of course but like yeah and they just prop them up because they didn't get a chance you know most people had about one photograph in them for their entire lifetime and so that was the last chance for them to remember what their uh dearly departed seventh child to pass away yes like because you didn't take care of kids back then. They just survived or didn't. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The hell of a time. Yeah. Got to make some farm hands. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just, they loved wells and they loved falling right inside of them. And what can you do?

That was the number one killer. Wells, yeah. Wells, yeah. These damn wells. Mono, you are a bit of a horror fan correct and i am how are you celebrating this uh this spooky season the spookiest season of all staying so spooky staying so spooky doing a lot of spooky shit i went to not scary farm last night so i have my got... I got a little bit of a hoarseness going on. But I've done all the spooky stuff. Harshly grading the spooky stuff. I went to one called Delusion

that I really recommend to y'all. That's like a... Delusion? Okay. High recommendation. It's going on through November. It's like an interactive play. Whoa. And it's really cool because you do... i don't want to give anything

away but like you go to this fucked up actually old haunted house in pomona called the phillips mansion and um it's actually like old and horrifying and people died there and shit and um there's like an interactive play that goes on and so you're doing a spooky haunted house thing but you get to do a lot of stuff in it like you get i don't want to give anything away but you get to like actually do stuff inside the house when you're going through this spooky moment that's very cool wait is the and is the interactive play element like is the acting good enough that you're as you're not taken out of it the acting's like for scary acting yeah yeah it's

oscar level you know what i'm saying yeah because you know you know when you go in those places and these characters are like leaning a little too like much into their performance and you're like you're actually this actually feels like a comedy now yeah no now my my whole relationship to this experience is much different we've recontextualized it to a slapstick rather than something tense. Yeah. Yeah. No, I 100% hear what you're saying. The acting is usually very high school stage manager.

Yes, I know what you're saying. Oh, a stage manager. Yeah. I'll come for a stage manager every time. Wow. Yeah. I don't tell the stage managers out there. It's kind of in the same family as sleep no more that's

the one that i've yeah that's like a play that you get to walk through and there's people being killed all over the place yeah it's really cool it's really rad but yeah the acting's good it's not so over the top insane but it's also not this level of pulled back, which happens. Have you ever had this happen? Welcome to the Belial Manor. A horror of awfulness awaits you. Lady Bithymor died here not one hour ago. Like that level of like, that level. Yeah, just not giving it. Not giving a shit.

Delusion, I feel like they might have missed the mark on the on the name the name sounds a little bit like a club from 2003 you got a delusion tonight yeah but oh very south beach very yeah dude brett's dude brett's promoting tonight so yeah we can get it get in. Yeah, even with sneakers. Dude, I think Tara Reid's going to be there. Tara Reid has definitely made some appearances at clubs named Delusion in her time. All right, Mano, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about. We're going to talk about the dreaded supply chain issues that are coming for all of our asses this holiday season. We're going to talk about Joe

Biden, you know, claiming to be with the shits, claiming that he's a real one and how much we're trusting that. We'll look at some investors who are bailing on this new Trump company. Already? Yeah. They didn't know that's what they were invested in come on unfortunately so they got grifted i love it uh kind of they i think the i think they made money on it actually but we'll get to that okay well i'm actually catching up on succession right now and so this is the sort of thing that i feel like i can speak knowledgeably about even though i totally can't dude me too yeah i'm in the middle of season two right now and hey and kendall just shit the bed literally yeah this thing that i saw we are going

to talk about anti-vax thought leaders on facebook and just what their numbers are looking like to tempt people who are looking to boost their numbers. We will check in with the first school board meeting since a district administrator told teachers to both sides of the Holocaust. And we will talk about, of course, haunted dolls, all of that, plenty more. But first, Mano, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? I don't, this might be really filthy, but I was looking up soaking. Have y'all talked about soaking yet? No, what's that?

We've talked about little else, to be honest. Wait, hold on. No, Jack, don't play around. We've never heard of it. Okay. Mano, what is it? What is this? What, some kind of new technique for cooking?

Oh, kind of. Sous vide? No, I'm fucking with you. It's boning sous vide. We're all in on soca. You're actually 100% correct, my man. So I was talking to someone who was ex-Mormon, and she was telling me about soaking. And she was telling me about soaking.

Yeah. And my understanding, and you can look up, we can look up more in it, soaking, because some people believe that sex is the in and out of the penis in the person. So some people to stay holy and good with Jesus and all the people upstairs, just put the penis in and let it soak let it ride yeah like a fucking tea bag like uh like uh let's just oh wait you said soaking soaking oh yeah i know we're up on in the jump pumping and everything you're in on soaking do you know about the jump pumping nope oh oh someone jumps on the bed so it can move yes you get a little motion but it's not your fault you're not the one who's doing the thrusting yeah what's this is there a sin of the jump pumper like as like a pornographer or something

like a facilitator of sin you know what i mean yeah i guess people don't think that deep because at the end of the day they're like we're just trying to literally get it in and leave it in. Guys, just let go. You're in, you know, we're all animals. There's nothing evil about wanting to put your private shit on couches and holes. Just live your fucking life. If you're already soaking, you're doing sex. Yeah.

Right. This is what I, the whole time that for the last three weeks when we couldn't stop stop talking about it it's just true you know the jig is up yeah jig is up and it's funny because you watch 90 day right mano yeah here and there it's like i always yeah yep okay it and then I get sad and I stop. So there was this guy, there's a guy this season who's Mormon. And he was like, he was basically doing this whole thing where he was just like, I mean, I've been sexually active, but I didn't have like sex sex until I was like 23. And like when I even like looking at him, he's like, and it's just so great. He's like, I don't know what to do.

He's like going back to abstinence is like having candy and then having to eat vegetables after. And this dude is still very devout and like lying to his like fiance that he's like a virgin. But he's not, you know. Just get in it. Awful. Awful. It's kind of the opinion that if you're just really bad at sex, then you aren't technically having sex. It seems like is the,

I is the philosophy there. Right. Just boys ruined my life, like in college, especially, but like, cause you know, like I was red,

I was out and ready to bone pretty early in college. I was like, let's get weird. And I kept finding these fucking religious closet cases. And one time in particular, I got slammed drunk. I was like let's get weird and i kept finding these fucking religious closet cases and one time in particular i got slammed drunk i was like where this is gonna happen it's gonna be wonderful and we get naked and we're in a bed together and like literally at that moment the person was like i can't do this this This is wrong. This is religiously wrong. And I'm like, okay, awesome.

And they're like, you should leave. And I was like, okay, awesome. I'm slammed on top of this night being such a bust. So yeah, man, religion ruins everything fun. Yeah, yeah. What is something you think is overrated? Ooh, you're going to hate me for this. French fries.

Mm-hmm. I like them, but y'all are obsessed. Like, they're great. Like, they're fun. They're good. But I think most times, God, people are going to really kill me. I eat about, it's like M&M's to me. Like you have a couple and you're like, okay, I'm good. I'm good. I get it. I'm good. I can move on. That is not my experience with M&M's. French fries are definitely something

that fills you up quick. You know, I feel like it's they have they're like pancake light in the sense that they expanding your stomach a little bit. Yeah. But I kind of agree that like French fries are good when they're really good. But a lot of the time, like they they're not one. They're not like pizza where even bad pizza is pretty good. Like bad French fries fucking suck. They're just like, yeah, I agree. Potato sacks. Yeah. or they're like really cold and

shitty they're and they're bricks and then you're putting bricks in your body it's like guys guys right isn't good yeah it's it i mean i think it's also just like one of these things now too where it's just easy to make so like whenever we see it i feel like my like my love of fries starts from being a kid when i'm like oh yes fries and i'm like i'll just eat fries with anything and then as i get older though now till i'm like how much salt is in this yeah and i'm like how much how much deep fried shit is this yeah okay oh okay yeah yeah i guess i'll just go with a salad. Yeah. You know, like, but yeah, at the end of the day, I definitely, I'm not as, I'm not as like rabid of a fry person as I, as I once was. But, you know, I enjoy them here and there. I like them. I like them.

I think they're usually, they're usually also put on as like a consolation when like the sandwich can be pretty bad. But they're like, well, guess what? We're going to give you way too many fries. So you have to feel like this whole adventure is worth it. I think that's also a thing that annoys me where you're like, no, this is just more not good fries. This sucks. Yeah. I think that exact sentence is written on a like strategy board in the McDonald's headquarters. Yes. The sandwich can suck, but we've nailed fries and give them way too many of them. And you are a Taco Bell fan, enthusiast, right? I am. I'm a Stan.

I'm a Stan. You know, that tracks. That's the one thing that I think people complain about when it comes to Taco Bell. The one and only thing that they're allowed to complain about is that they don't have fries. Yeah, not the immediate Ria. Not that. Don't complain about about that but yeah uh did you guys try that chicken sandwich taco thing that they just made oh tell me it was so good it was so it was so good i chicken sandwich

taco it was like it was just i don't even it was just a piece of fried chicken in like a soft bread that, you know, was like scientifically made soft by the greatest minds in America. Right. With some orange mayo goop. And it was incredible. Yeah. I thought you were talking about the Taco Bell creation that was like the the bun was the chicken. Wasn't that a thing where they had a taco shell that is made of chicken that I I couldn't bring myself to think about trying. But there are also chicken chips, too, that they cut into triangles like flattened out triangles.

Yeah. You know, I could have caught the next one. Yeah, not for me. I love how weird they go. I love how they always, I don't know, I feel like I eat and I'm like, yes, this was actually good. This was actually good.

What is something you think is underrated? This is very weird too. The other day, last night, I was like, there's a channel under the sea that connects England to France. And we don't give a shit. Like we don't give it. I'm like,

how did we build it? How did we get under the sea? Fucking Sebastian Ariel style. How, how like what, who built the tunnel and when, fucking Sebastian Ariel style. How? Like, what? Who built the tunnel? And when? And how did they keep the water from getting in?

It just blows my mind. Yeah, that one. Tunnel. Tunnel. Nobody knows. Nobody knows how they did that. It's just a mystery. One of the great mysteries.

It just happened. I feel like a lot of people die when when when doing that like i think that's part of the secret is they just like send people down there and then they die and then they just kind of sweep that under the rug or at least they did with the new york subway system i think oh like making it they're like oh yeah yeah just yeah sweep that to the side have you any of you been through the channel? No, I have not. I have seen mission impossible. I was going to say,

so basically that was the best ad for that motherfucker ever. Cause I remember like, wait, what? It does what? Yeah. And then I remember like my mom who had been to Europe was like, yeah,

it's full. Like, you don't know about this. And I'm like, I want to go to there now. But then it's like, it's not like it's an underwater tube and you're like,

oh, look at the whales and shit underneath here. It's a fucking tunnel. And I'm like, and then that's, I remember as a kid being like, well, then this shit is whack. How would you even know you're under the sea? Yeah.

Okay. So it's 75 meters. So it's 250 feet below the seabed. So it's so deep. I don't, it blows my so deep. I don't. It blows my damn mind. I don't know. And you know.

How do we keep the water from getting in. Because whoever is doing that. Wow. Bravo. Bravo. Good shit everyone. Fantastic. I think there's like a third channel in between the two.

That if they need to like pull off for whatever reason. You can pull into that. And it takes like an hour to slow it down because of how fast it's going. I think that's one of those train facts that I learned as a dad of a train kid. I was going to say, at first, if you said as a kid, I mean like you mean as a father to a train lover?

Yeah, the channel and various acts of train engineering are things that I've rediscovered an appreciation for in the past couple of years. They're pretty fucking cool, man. Yeah. You are correct. It is wild. Yeah, channel.

Channel, man. Channel, man. And it only took them, what, 10 years is what I'm looking at right now? 10 years? Good God. 10-ish? Wait, less?

I think that's right. It started in 88? I don't know. 94, 88? Wow. Good job, everyone. Well done. All right, let's take a quick break, and then we will talk about some supply chain issues. 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.

And as we were talking about before we went to break, you know, there are some amazing feats that humans have pulled off that make it seem like we should be able to get whatever the fuck we want for Christmas.

When buying things for people for Christmas, we should be able to get it within a couple of days because we're spoiled and everything is on demand these days. Give me now. But it's looking like that may not be the case. And the conservative media is sort of already ramping up to make Joe Biden eat this one. I mean, they have to. It's like the one thing that every congressperson has been tweeting. Like, I remember when Trump was president, paper towels were $17 or stuff like I remember when Trump was president, babies got their toys on Jesus's birthday.

So this whole thing has been a very great barb for conservatives by just completely ignoring, you know, like that it's a global supply chain, not like the Biden factory is withholding toy parts from the orphans. And, you know, it's a it's a it's a number supply chain, not like the Biden factory is withholding toy parts from the orphans. And, you know, it's a number of factors, right? There's inflation, there's labor shortages, there's shipping bottlenecks, and the fucking pandemic. So all those things together, yes, are causing problems in the supply chain.

And right now you've probably seen that the like, you know, places like Amazon or Walmart, they're like, Hey man, it's black Friday on October 12th. And you're like, what the fuck is going on? That's because, you know, I think a lot of retailers look at their stocks and be like, I'm not sure what we're going to be able to restock. And plus, if people want things, we might as well incentivize them buying it now because things are going to be a little bit unpredictable over the next two months. Some forecasters, just to put it in your mind, what we're talking about, right? Some forecasters saying that out of stock messages like online or websites and you're like, oh, fuck, I want to get this.

They're saying are expected to be up 172% this holiday season compared to 2020 and up 360% on two-year basis so i was gonna say 2020 wasn't great like 2020 had its issues yeah i remember correctly so but i think yeah that was before other people started withholding their labor to being like hey uh it's up to you to figure this out not us and then the other thing that they're saying is it's the the specifics that are going to get hit the hardest they say apparel is going to have the highest out-of-stock levels, most likely, followed by sporting goods, baby products, then electronics. So there's no need to start plundering supermarkets for toilet paper yet. Even if my toilet paper is electronic?

I'm sorry, what do you mean how does that work oh you don't yeah that's it's the new shit it's the the new uh the newest apple product are you saying you have like a high-powered japanese toilet no he wipes his ass with a kindle just one one Kindle, just rinse it off. But yeah, I think it's important for people to know, like if you are somebody who has something very specific in mind as a gift or whatever, that, yeah, this is kind of the environment that you're up against. I mean, at the end of the day,

I don't see myself buying more clothes or sporting goods or baby products or electronics. I mean, stop buying buying i read this and i was like i read this and i was like good stop buying trash everyone quit it just quit it it's so stupid you don't need an especially clothes you know how much clothes you have i don't care who you are you know how much clothes you have in your closet like don't buy new crap. And if it's also connected to people demanding better wages and working conditions, great. Don't patronize these companies that are like not paying, forcing people to make Kellogg's frosted flakes for 17 hours at a time.

Yeah. Although I do just like to get people sporting goods for Christmas, you know, just a tennis racket here. Just a shuttle bell there in my nice shuttlecock. Yeah. Sleeve of shuttlecocks. That's how it's done. Yeah. But I mean, if you if you are if you do have some needy clothes, horses out there. Get your shopping done, psych gang. Right. All right. Let's talk about the man who this is all being laid at the feet of, who we are supposed to be energetically defending against, you know, these ruthless attacks from the right. Joe Biden, his agenda has been just repeatedly thwarted by Republican opposition. And, you know, he's supposed to have both the Senate and the House.

But there's also two fuck faces in Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema who are kind of fucking that up for everyone. We've looked on and people going, well, what's going on with that agenda, man? Looks like not getting shit done because you're just letting, you know, the filibuster rock. And there's a lot of really pressing issues, you know, aside from climate change or the lack of the proper social safety net for vulnerable Americans. You know, another huge thing is voting rights. It's a huge, huge deal, especially when you look at what is happening across the states where the Republicans are turning their state houses into just veritable

rat fuckery casinos for voting stuff. And, you know, they want they plan to suppress and invalidate votes like that's what they're trying to set themselves up to be able to have that sort of legislative power. And, you know, that's why a lot of people are like, can you pass voter reform at the very least? You know, because that's something to protect. And by passing, you know, proper voting reform and enshrining these things into law, there's a chance that, you know, people's votes can actually count

and they don't have to tell people and activists be like, hey man, I know they're playing dirty, but just try and be just better than them and we can win. It's like we're going up against a stacked deck. So now it looks like Joe Biden is, you know, essentially saying that he's ready to fucking do away with the filibuster. And if he does away with the filibuster, does he have the Manchin and Sinema support to do something about voting rights? Are they on board for that? Yeah, I mean, on some level.

I mean, you saw how Joe Manchin was like, do this other version. Like, I can get 10 Republican votes for it. That was the thing that the Republicans just uniformly just said no to last week. And everyone's like, I thought we did. We watered this down because you said 10 Republicans would get here, Joe Manchin. No, because they're not interested in making anything more level by any stretch of the imagination. So I just want to play a clip because Joe Biden had a town hall with Anderson Cooper and said, here is kind of like what I'm thinking right now.

Republicans have been fucking up way too much. I also think we're going to have to move to the point where we fundamentally alter the filibuster. Are you saying once you get this current agenda passed on spending and social programs that you would be open to fundamentally altering the filibuster? Or doing away with it? Well, that remains to be open to fundamentally altering the filibuster? I am open to fundamentally altering it.

Or doing away with it? Well, that remains to be seen. Exactly what that means in terms of fundamentally altering it. Whether or not we just end the filibuster straight up. Voting rights is equally as consequential. When it comes to voting rights, just so I'm clear though, you would entertain the notion of doing away with the filibuster on that one issue is that correct and maybe more oh oh oh oh oh oh is joe pump bringing reveals to politics that was that was a dramatic pause yeah anytime there's a dramatic pause with Joe Biden,

I am concerned that he will just never get out of whatever, you know, pauses happening inside his brain. He'll get trapped in a sentence for the rest of the time. Yeah. For the rest of the time. No! He couldn't find the punctuation.

He could not find the end of that sentence. He was, he has been stuck there for Three months now Like Mr. President And you know I mean Like I said hey look Maybe more

Medically speaking he's in a comma And we don't know If he'll make his way out Yeah This is the thing is I'm curious, right? Like what is, what's he really doing?

Like, I see that he's reaching for his waist, but is he going to actually pull out the strap and start clapping? Or is it really just like, Hey, watch out GOP. Cause I'll do the, Hey,

you better, you better get in line. Cause I'll, I'll pull this thing over and I'll keep this racist relic alive. I will. I don't know. So that's's why i'm like he said things like this before but this seemed a little bit different like you saw he was pacing around the states like he was like i don't know man yeah maybe maybe i'm gonna have to fucking fundamentally alter that their shit i don't know if you were walking around the stage that maybe like if any of us were walking around the stage you might have the sort of we might give off like

a sort of you know i'm i'm pissed here i'm thinking about what i'm going to do to you with him it seemed more like you were watching a like civil war ghost that was just kind of like wandering and didn't really know that it was there but that would be that would i i hope that that's at least what was planned in the stage directions and like that's what he was going for because that would indicate that he's actually you know going to do the thing right it doesn't seem very convenient to be your own good cop and bad cop right that's not how the interrogations work i think yeah i think it's time i because like if if he's angling for is it already time to think about re-election i don't think just yet i think you can he can sneak in some bad evil liberal moves you know things that can you know help us

get things done and still have his cake and eat it too which seems to be his thing yeah i mean it would be it seems like if he does not you know actually suspend or fundamentally alter uh to the point of irrelevancy the filibuster it's going to be like a an administration that is notable for not getting a single fucking thing done yeah yeah in that respect it's not it's not good for re-election like he asked rdb thinking about re-election right what also blows my mind about the filibuster of it all is that these are the same people, the same people who are using this and not working and not doing their jobs in this filibustering bullshit are the same people who scream at America, do your job, get it done. You're lazy.

And it's like you have a a tentpole of your work is not working because you don't want to do your work you have a lot of nerve yes yeah oh i just want to also play one clip too since we're on joe bynum and how he's screwing everything up for people in america i do want to play this clip of uh senator joni ernst from iowa giving her whole take on how biden is messing up christmas for everyone right hell yeah so just check this is a classic it's also so bad because you know how again the republicans love making up nicknames they're like the demon rats and the and you know uh oh biden because that's like a portmanteau of Obama and Biden, which is like the other thing they do. This time, Joni Ernst has some new branding she wants to share with the class about how Biden is just screwing up Christmas.

And folks, this crisis isn't ending anytime soon. The upcoming holiday season is already being referred to as Biden's blue Christmas. The White House is even warning there will be items people can't get for Christmas. So let's just hope for the sake of the kids who have been good all year that Biden's broken supply chain problems don't extend all the way to the north pole wow oh my god these are fucking people who are supposedly leading the country yeah you know they don't they are disingenuously acting up to like acting obtuse like they don't know how anything works just to be like to create this like hallmark movie bad guy narrative like because i hope with all the

little children who have been so good this year yeah that they may be negatively affected by biden's broken supply chain like to compare her performance to to a high school theater production would be insulting to high schools or even middle schools. Like that was, her acting was not great. Her props were a, like a graphic from 1997 internet.

Yeah. 93 clip art. Yeah. Life under Biden. Yeah. And that was guaranteed, late delivery guaranteed. Truly. Yeah. Man, it. Yeah. It was guaranteed delivery. Late delivery guarantee. Truly. Yeah, man. It would be worth the jail time to just stand up in that room and go, you're an adult.

You're you know what I mean? Like you're not you're not we're not in a free form holiday movie. You're an adult. Talk like an adult. God, I wish I could heckle these people. Yeah. As a senator, be like, it's straight though she capping up there stop capping they're like whoa whoa whoa senator gray please i'm sorry i would like to be recognized to inform the distinguished uh gentle lady from the state of iowa to cease the capitry but yeah also her energy about like and i just hope for all like this, like fake dilemma she's setting up. It's like the same energy of a youth pastor telling you not to fuck before marriage. I'm not taking this shit seriously.

You're like, because kids, Jesus would be very upset if you were to engage in sex before you are married. I'm like, what you said is very scary. You're right. I'm going to note that what you said is very scary. You're right. I'm going to note that, but it's popping off in the parking lot right after. Yeah. In the parking lot. Yeah.

You know, how young miles got to party. I mean, I don't, the only thing I, the only thing that I see that makes sense from people who are repressed themselves seems to be like, they're the ones doing the absolute craziest shit.

It's always like it's never like you know the gay guy does gay sex. Great. Priest who said gay people don't exist caught shoving a snake up his ass and also eating crystal man farm. Yeah exactly. It's like it all it seems to me the people who

are supposed to be following the rules are the ones who really crack. Yeah. Well, you know. Maybe they'll figure it out or maybe they'll just keep on keeping on. Living in a state of constant emotional dysfunction and distress. I don't know. But aren't we all?

We did want to check in with Texas real quick. We all we did want to check in with Texas real quick. Oh, they had their first board meeting last week since one of their school district administrators told teachers to both sides of the Holocaust. Oh, my God. It was a meeting with teachers where she was telling them how to get rid of books that might be deemed offensive to their new guidance, a new law that was passed, that basically said, you can't have a book that doesn't present both sides. And the teacher didn't even bring up the Holocaust. She was like, how could we possibly present multiple perspectives on racism? And then, unprompted, this administrator just brings up the Holocaust, says, make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives. And a teacher said, how do you oppose the Holocaust? And she says, believe me, that's come up.

So the district is basically coming out and being like, oh, you guys know that that's not what the law means. But why did you say that? why'd you say that why one of your administrators who you paid to go and teach the law unprompted come up with the holocaust they're like well she's a holocaust denier and she got her own personal values mixed up in a in a function she shouldn't have. You're like, uh-oh. Yeah. What is the opposing view? I don't get it. I mean, there's, I guess, a couple of versions, right? That whether or not it was justified, whether or not it happened,

I think that's already like, uh-huh. Yeah. Don't even start down that road that's it's so easy to disprove i mean people will continue to do it but it's so easy to disprove that fucking crazy idea that it's it didn't happen right right yeah and the only difference between the statements where people are saying come on you know that we believe the Holocaust happened, and the ones where the woman's telling people to believe her, that it has been used in a conversation with her, as an example, is that one happened behind closed doors and was referencing another meeting that

happened behind closed doors in private, and the come on guys statement is their public stance. But anyways, at the first school board meeting, since that all happened, parents were raising the problems that every human mind that jokes about my nose to gas chambers, all while studying for my bar mitzvah. The facts are that there are not two sides of the Holocaust. The Nazis systematically killed millions of people. There are not two sides of slavery. White Europeans enslaved black Africans in this country until June 19th, 1865, a moment we're barely 150 years removed from. But the idea that this is that it's like one racist school administrator, that's not the case. The reality is that this is America. That is the status quo is that this person can't go to school in that district because

they're Jewish. And, you know, they were contemplating suicide because the anti-Semitism that they were facing there. Right. And I think that's important to note when people just try and make things you know, like what harm is,

right? Because people will be like, well, it's just they're just joking around like it's a joke like and i think a lot of like again even with the chapelle thing right just jokes man it's not serious like he doesn't mean that stuff or whatever defense has been deployed it's the fact that when you're creating an environment where someone is feeling othered that can feel violent and yeah that is that's exactly how people begin to question their own self-worth as a person if they're being treated as someone in the out group or whatever that it's okay to make fun of someone you know appearance and things like that and

yeah i'm sure that these teachers would be like well i'm sure that was an isolated incident right but you know at the end of the day like you know like we're kids are evil you know and that's not like intentionally but we don't have the kinds of capabilities or capacity for like empathy that you do old like later in life so yeah you're gonna say wild shit and not realize that it could fucking truly harm a person for years and you just think like, ah, but I just, that's like the homie and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I think that's, you know,

I think a lesson that we're, many people are still like learning in how communication works. Yeah. And how vile ideas can be. I can't say this enough. The person who said this, Petty, whatever,

what's their name? I guarantee they don't actually mean that they want someone to be educated on both sides of a thing because i guarantee if you were like okay great let's continue to educate people on both sides of a thing christianity and atheism i guarantee she's not gonna be about they would hey yeah this lady the book is satan do you know what i'm saying it's like so you're not you're just say just say i'm a full of shit anti-semitic witch i'm a horrible person just say that instead of i want people to be educated on both sides because you don't you don't want

that of course it's to it's to normalize a very discriminatory worldview that's all it is to by teaching i would be shocked if she was cool enough to be a witch however i know right she was like no no don't get me fucked up she's like i was putting hexes on kavanaugh i was part of that group of witches we were hexing the fuck out of the supreme court but yeah i just think that the media like and people who pay attention to the mainstream media and me like before i really started paying attention to the mainstream media and me, like before I really started paying attention to kind of alternate perspectives on the media, like tend to assume that America is the reasonable public statements made by trained public facing bureaucrats. And it's actually not

that it's the open racism and anti-Smitism they're using behind closed doors that erupts in violence and murder when they become cops or militia members or mass shooters at a synagogue like that that is what where the actual consequences are are actually happening and it's not the fucking statements just because they have a pr degree and they they get to get in front of the cameras and say the thing that doesn't make it what America is actually about. Because damn, man, if Christian kids heard about Satanism, they would be they would they would switch it up real quick. They're like, oh, Jesus telling you to abstain? No, I'm telling you to indulge over here. I'm trying to

indulge. Come over here with Satan, baby. Well, that's the fear. That's why Christian parents are always like every couple decades, they're like having a satanic panic because they know their product is not on par. Their product is the off switch. Yeah. None of that. None of that. Right, right. None of that. It's like, what are you all whittles down to?

And you tell kids, kids hey how about all of this for all of y'all yeah it's like yeah you know like you don't want to but again that's methods of control and things like that so yeah yeah just be honest with your kids you know just be honest with them yeah yeah actually parent them that that could be cool yeah and don't rely on you know spooky ghost stories to try and get them from not fucking yeah yeah just be like hey let's talk about sex let's talk about the ramifications let's talk about what it could do to your life i'm not just playing the salt and pepper song respect them and their minds or you know what instead no no no no no that's no no

look at this book turn to this page read that ah see you don't want that now no. Look at this book. Turn to this page. Read that. See, you don't want that now, do you? Look at this freak. He enjoys sex and his body. Isn't that disgusting? Isn't that evil? I guess so. Okay. The wires are getting crossed here.

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. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on.

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

Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we're back. And there's this mystery that's been making the rounds on shows like Last Podcast on the left, which I really like. Some true crime fans have been talking about this because it was very creepy. A young, healthy family was found dead on a hiking trail, appearing to have all just like, you know, the father was sitting down with his daughter. Their dog was like dead next to them.

The mother was just like, you know, 10 feet up the trail. And they, you know, people were very concerned, scared, didn't know what happened. They closed down a entire section of this park because they thought it might be this poisonous algae bloom that was going through the river and that they might have taken a drink from that. And it turns out it was heat exhaustion and hyperthermia, which is something that we talked about a couple weeks back. Oh, hyper. Hyperthermia, not hypo.

Yeah. This is already the most common, the deadliest form of natural disaster in America is heat death or hyperthermia. Wow. It's more than floods, freezing, wildfires, like all the ones that we see in movies. It's this one that we almost never see in movies. Hyper-up, look at that. Holy shit. Yeah.

Yeah. almost never seen movies like i can't holy shit yeah yeah yeah and we don't that movie death that like allows us to picture what this is in our mind and so when something like this happens we just like can't we don't have the imaginative vocabulary to like make sense of it and so everybody just treats it as if like you know know, it's aliens or, you know, they were talking about poisonous gas coming out of a nearby cave. And it was it was a heat death, which is already, you know, one of the deadliest things in the country and only getting more so and the reason that the police were baffled is because this this isn't common or hasn't been to this point in history to have like multiple people at the same time at the same moment basically die from the same you know heat heat death but right that's because things are just getting worse you know because of climate change yeah and i think just not knowing i think

also as people we're not used to realizing what we could be putting our bodies through too like yeah i remember in the summer like i took a couple hikes and i i carried way less water than i should have like way way i was under i would just did not hydrate properly i wasn't even thinking about it and part of me was like man it's fucking hot like i'm in the direct sunlight it's it's above like 80 it's like 90 degrees like this can't be like the best thing like to be like physically exerting myself in direct heat with no water and like i had to be like yo i had to like turn back and like you know i i need to have water and i think just i think it's a thing that we don't consider that we could succumb to as well because i see it all the time like you see

because these people were like on a trail that used to be shaded right but the forest fires basically completely yeah so it's like compounding factors from climate change that are contributing to making the world more dangerous but yeah no shade and that's what got and yeah and you think like oh well fuck it i can be in the sun for a little bit but it's there's just a lot to consider and i think it takes like moments at least for me to act really stupidly to be like you can't go on a multi-mile hike in direct sunlight in the summer and like not do the minimum to take care of yourself so i can imagine if you're not thinking like you're not experienced enough you think like you can make it through this like intense hike or whatever and very very hot conditions like be bad yeah that very famous

editor who edited some tarantino films she just passed right away in griffith park oh really yeah just on a hot day. She just passed right away and it was just like, Jesus Christ! She was healthy and living her life and just passed right away on a too hot day. Yeah. I think it's becoming more and more

common. Yeah. Guys, we gotta stop. We gotta stop doing. We gotta stop hiking. We gotta stop hiking. We gotta stop hiking or maybe stop fucking polluting the world. That'd be nice. And just knowing the conditions.

You know, like, if you see that shit and it looks like you're gonna be in direct sunlight in 90 plus degree weather, not many people are built for that, like that. Yeah.

Like, as much as you might think you are. And there are plenty of people who do work in those conditions but it's very very difficult and as as temperatures only go up like you're gonna thinking like oh it's only 95 today that's not normal you know like so don't consider that uh you know i don't know i just the second it feels too hot like you gotta know like yeah that shit can kill you that's i i've been definitely reckless in the past and i'm going like stories like this are making me realize like anytime i'm going out there yeah you just you you now you take hikes with a wheelbarrow full of water like in front of you you're like no here we go like yeah like it's not sweat 70 i lose all the moisture in my body within like a mile of walking, whether it's a hike

or not, just because through my armpits, you know. Oh, I'm such a sweaty guy. What if we took this solemn, respectful tone and just turned this into a Peloton ad? I guess that's why everyone should consider the low, low financing rates available for Peloton. I mean, you really can't put a price on the life of your child. But for $39 a month with approved financing, you could own your Peloton bike in a matter of years. Don't like biking?

They offer the tread now. And let me tell you, it doesn't kill kids anymore. Yeah. Anymore. Anymore. Anymore. Oh, yeah. Anymore. Anymore. Anymore. Oh, yeah. Anymore.

We have to put that in. Sort it out. Sort it out. All right. Let's talk about haunted dolls real quick on this national, what is it? National Chucky the Notorious Killer Doll Day.

Love Chucky. Need to workshop it. International Day Creators Workshop the Chucky Day. But so why buy a toy when you can buy a toy with a dead person's disembodied consciousness stuck inside? So you can get a, there is a thriving haunted doll market on eBay and Etsy. The prices range from around $150 at the low end to $1,000.

And listings usually include a lengthy and detailed backstory about the doll and the spirit it houses. And you've probably seen, like, I've even had these videos shared with me that I didn't even know what I was, like, supposed to be watching. But it's like, this doll is behaving in weird ways. Or this, like, Halloween decoration. I think there's one with a uh a skeleton halloween decoration that just like really like starts freaking out okay but yeah it's i don't know like i

as somebody who has a bunch of toys in in my house that are you know some of them used like they will start making creepy ass noise if they are like noise making toys they will their death rattles are creepy as fuck they're just like melting down and like saying like sputtering out like little chunks of words and stuff this is sick yeah but anyways people are using that as a as a way to profit so a writer jm looked on e, immediately found one going for $750 in Australia. The seller even included evidence, a video of the doll's possession. Should we watch it? Yeah.

I mean, it's very long and uneventful, as all these videos are. Well, here, let's at least hear a segment of it. Okay, okay. So people can understand what the experience is like shopping for a haunted doll so this is okay here we go here's the video of the haunted doll it's just a doll and a dresser they're zooming in vertical video this was just clicking in my daughter's room she wasn't even near it i mean she doesn't even use it anymore okay that's i'm i've already had enough this doll was like come okay great sales pitch but how do you get from

there to saying it has someone's soul in it well so it's interesting so i did watch most of that video and it's it's interesting because apparently the spirit that is encased in this doll is hard of hearing because they have to ask it to do a thing five times and wait a long time before it does the thing that they're asking for it and the thing that it does is like sputter out half of whatever you know the voice box inside the doll was supposed to say and they're like but they just ask it genuine questions they're like what is your name can you say your name say your name can you say your name who are you say your name and then it'll make a noise and they're like whoa that's like that's like

talking to like a a frying pan with some shit in it like like sizzling. And you're like, pop if you was a spirit in there. Pop now. Pop. Oh, my God. Did you see? This pan of onions is possessed. I'm going to sell it on eBay for $700. There's another one that Jam found for the low price of $120 that is possessed by a fucking demon.

You guys. Oh, here we go. Man, you can tell it's possessed by a demon because they do offer the warning please keep away from children and pets hilarious keep away this shit did not this shit demonic okay i mean it's a genius i love everything about this business i know it's brilliant yeah what so who's what's the market for this exactly like why is someone looking at an old shitty doll and be like oh that shit got demons in it i'm gonna pay a lot more than it's worth so there's the put there's the consumer base that i'm fine with being targeted which is amateur ghost hunters yes yeah sure but then there's the really sad one which is people hoping to use it to contact dead loved

ones oh no and like and like your dead loved one is is people hoping to use it to contact dead loved ones oh no and like and like your dead loved one is gonna start talking to you in like uh snippets don't use a cursed doll to contact your past husband i guarantee he doesn't want he doesn't like who the fuck is this why did you bring annabelle i miss david so much. Please, haunted doll. Please connect to him. I just want to speak to him. Me, Coco. Yum.

This Furby is a conduit to the nether life. The fuck is that? Yeah, but, Mono, you mentioned Annabelle, and this industry has apparently really shot up after the Annabelle movies started coming out. Yeah. And you can buy loads of haunted objects, not just dolls, coins, pebbles, bits of wood.

Oh, my God. In one case, a haunted weight loss bag that allows you to burn calories faster. Yo! Wait, what are you saying? A haunted weight loss bag? What are you saying? Yeah, bro. Haunted? you saying? What's a weight loss bag? What are you saying? Yeah, bro.

Haunted. I mean, what's a weight loss bag? Haunted weight loss bag. I don't, how you, hold on. I have to see this piece. I'm blown away. What is a haunted, I'm clicking it now. It will help burn calories faster.

Super powerful. All right, okay. Summoning the angel of fitness. Right? Yeah. Summon the angel of fitness with this haunted bag and watch the pounds just melt away for the low low price of six thousand dollars again i mean i i feel like they need to adopt this for the uh peloton but like they're saying people are selling you said coins pe, pebbles, bits of wood. This sounds like me just taking a random scoop from underneath one of my car floor mats.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, yo, this shit haunted, man. Yeah. So is there like a, like, you know, like StockX, like, can they verify the shit is haunted? So eBay is the closest that you come, but they like, it's kind of, it's kind of a catch 22 because they explicitly banned the selling of souls or a container that claims to have someone's soul in it. So they have to, the, the sellers have to be like, this is for entertainment purposes only. But I think you guys know what's really going on here.

Oh, got it. I think you guys know what's really going on here. Oh, got it. So couldn't you just be like, yo, I know this shit is bullshit because eBay's terms of service wouldn't even allow you to sell something that legit had a soul in it. So mislead this. Go to Soul Bay. I mean, look, but the people who are purchasing this, you know, they're not people who are big fans of research. They're not people.

Oh, no. Yeah. no. Check out the COVID cards that they're selling. You wear it around your neck, it will block COVID. It's funny, though. They do claim that they use rigorous scientific methods, including scanning the dolls for electromagnetic energy, which I'm assuming they're doing with a toy spectrometer

from the Ghostbusters toy set from the 80s. Storing the dolls in a soundbox to listen for any words or phrases and sleeping next to the dolls to see if they have any weird dreams. Oh, my God. This is what sounds a little less scientific. Yeah, that's your scientific. I wish I had less of a soul because like I would go all in. I feel like I could rise to the top of this world. I'm so confident telling people shit.

I'm like, let me just tell you something about this fucking old chopstick I got from Sugarfish Takeout. I put this shit near my pillow and I communicated with my Japanese grandmother who passed away in 2012. Okay. So let's see. I'm going to sell this to you for what? 60 bucks right now. Verified. Like, this just seems like if you're really confident, you could start making real money.

Yeah. Yeah. But you do, if you're, if you do plan to go into this business, dolls are always a great option because they have the uncanny valley like they just do it yeah like inherently break our brain because there's like you can tell that it's trying to look like a human but our brain also can tell it's not a living thing and that fucks us up so like just sell people dolls it's i love it i i think this is such a good business idea because i've never because you can just go in any given thrift store find the worst most gnarled nasty girl nasty girl doll and you you're gonna you're gonna turn a profit i guarantee it this is genius

yeah i'm here for the entrepreneurial spirit piss yeah that is the piss of the uh dead person of the bratz doll that has been taken over by uh robert durst yeah i love that this bratz doll contains the soul of robert durst i bet you can sell that and you just pull a string and it says, I killed them all. Of course I did it. He's on a vent, right? For COVID?

The Twitter, the social piece of social media. What am I enjoying? You know what I'm enjoying right now? Purposefully incorrect videos. You know how there's like, now it's like a new thing where it's like like i literally saw someone like burn butter in a pan but like they they the caption was potatoes and now that's like the new thing is like just do something that is infuriating right like put a put a bar of chocolate and popcorn in a pan and say it makes a cake.

Just make something that's wrong on purpose because the engagement's better. Isn't that insane? I saw someone just like on TikTok just like burn a block of cheese into a pan. Yeah, they do that. And then they like put it in the oven for 10 minutes and then they pulled out a wedding cake. Yeah. And I'm like, this is... No, no, uh-uh.

Right? Right? No. It's just along that where it's like this absurdist cooking show. It's funny, too. Like you're saying, because that person thinks they're a hero, too, for being like, I don't believe it. It's like, oh, wow, you're a real sleuth. Wow.

Yep, that is interesting to me. Would you mind commenting on my Bratz doll post? Miles, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Twitter, Instagram, at Miles of Grey.
