And again, yeah, Jack is on a little bit of a baby moon. So he's not in the building. So you know what it is. It's time for the real show to happen. He's very black today. Exactly. He's so black, guys. It's the Black Album. It's the Black Album.

And joining us today in our very special guest spot, a very talented stand-up comedian, Philly's own Broad Street bullying victim, Blake Wexler. How are you, sir? I'm doing great, man. Thanks for having me. Oh, no, thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. Oh, my God.

And also for everybody who wanted to know, Anna was not fired. That was a terrible joke. And I don't want anybody to worry because Anna is definitely in the building and will continue to be. So rest assured, we got that one going. So anyway, Blake, I want to thank you so much for coming through. Can you tell us a little bit about you in terms of your Google search history? What's something you search that is going to let people know? What is up with Blake Wesley? Actually, yeah, this is a pretty all encompassing search. My last weird search,

we're actually talking about this a few minutes ago, but it was Clubfoot Institute was the last one where I've been trying to Miles is wearing this awesome Lakers hoodie, and I've been trying to find the Sixers equivalent of that. And also, P.S., the Lakers beat the Sixers last night, 1-4, 1-7. Thank you to a nearly buzzer-beating three-pointer by our boy B. Ingram.

Anyway, sorry, just had to throw that out there because we're not as good of a team. I have to have it because the Lakers are terrible, and any time I have to gloat in that, I will. But anyway, I'm sorry. Go on. I was about to go on a Lonzo tirade. I'm like, oh, I can't do that. That ended nicely.

Yeah, right, right, yeah. But, yeah, I was looking for that hoodie, and then it's sold out everywhere. So for the past four weeks, I've been direct messaging NBA Store on Twitter, direct messaging Nike on Twitter, and they've stopped responding. Corporate Twitter accounts respond to everything, and they've stopped responding to me. And then I went into the 11th page of a Google search trying to find it because it's sold out everywhere, and I found it on a place called theclubfootinstitute.com, which is not, I don't know what it is, but it's not for selling apparel but i went and it's like a knockoff nike website and i'm like all right you can't rational like you know this

is not legitimate like there's no way you can buy this and then i was like looking for it that's the google search i'm like all right legitimacy this is how bad i want this thing i'm like can i rationalize buying a jerk like a hoodie off of a place called clubfootinstitute.com when you say clubfoot institute i thought it was like a place for people with a club foot you would think that because it's called that but yeah no um also clubfoot is a very like you know like isn't there a gentler term for that issue at this point with your club feet it's like j Christ. Is that someone with half a foot or is that like a prosthetic foot?

I think it's like your foot is like turned the wrong way. Yeah. Oh, okay. You have a bad foot. Like, it's a big foot. So it's like a deformity. I think.

Yeah, yeah. It's not good. Yeah, it's a bad foot. It's like your foot is turned in on itself. Like, your foot is giving your other foot like a high five but all the time.

See, that's sweet. Call it high five foot or low five foot. I don't think they have a group yet. They haven't mobilized. That's why we don't have any like woke terminology for club people.

Yeah, we're still calling that club foot. Club is with us. If you're in bed, because you literally should be like, it should look like a golf club. It's club foot. That's what it looked like. It's when someone spills a drink

on your shoes when you're at the club. It's like, oh, I have club foot. I have to go home. That's what happened. But yeah, looked on that website, looked at the club. It's like, oh, I have clubfoot. I have to go home. That's what happened. Yeah, looked on that website, looked at the return policy and it said, stop

asking us about return policies. Our payments go through numerous international banks. We'll get you a return when we get a chance. I'm like, yeah, can't do it. Yeah, that doesn't seem like a sound purchase. No, so I'm hoodie-less and out $10,000. You'll see in the photo.

Are you DMing them though, like privately? I've been DMing the major legitimate brands. Tweet them publicly. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, just have the whole conversation on Twitter live. That's what I did to Sears and that's how I got them to return my air conditioner. I was just like, Sears is stealing money

from poor black kids in college. Oh, wow. Well played. And they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no. They sent me my money real quick. I was just like, Sears is stealing money from poor black kids in college. Oh, wow. Well played. And they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no. They sent me my money real quick. I was like, run me my money. And a new AC and everything. Right.

Wow, AC for Lacey. Well done. You know, you could probably also tweet the 76ers, too. You're like, what's good? I'm a fan. But I think also, too, you've got followers. You've got a little bit of a following. Right, right. I have the blue check.

They're going to be like, whoa, we better take this seriously. Because I remember I straight up asked Uber Eats to sponsor me, like, shamelessly. And I was like, you need to sponsor me. And they DM'd me. And they're like, hey, email us. And then I was like, oh, or they're like, give us your email. And then they were like, oh, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, we don't sponsor people like that. We weren't sure what you were asking. I'm like, damn. Oh, you they're like, give us your email. And then they were like, oh, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, we don't sponsor people like that.

We weren't sure what you were asking. I'm like, damn. Oh, you have to lie. Like, Reebok sent me 10 pairs of sneakers like a year or two ago. What? Really? You just don't be honest. Do not say a single truth.

You're an international podcast. Oh, see. Which actually, I guess you are. But like, really pump it up. Like, 100 million users. Because I'm new to this podcasting game. I'm a relative unknown. Which actually, I guess you are, but really pump it up, like 100 million users. Because I'm new to this podcasting game. I'm a relative unknown, so I'm not quite comfortable being like, hey, man, you better fucking give me everything for free. You're not doing it in L.A., though.

That's true. That is an L.A. thing. That's an L.A. thing. Scams. Yeah, I just do that differently. That's what we do out here. You just threaten people and tell people your dad's a lawyer. That's how you do it in L.A.

My dad's a fucking lawyer. I ain't never told the truth to nobody. Listen. Don't start. Nobody know who I am. I don't know who I am. How about this, Blake? Tell us something that is overrated.

Overrated? Oh, I had pugs. Pugs, I think, are overrated. The dog. Yeah, the dog. I don't know what else I would have said. No, but I was also like, what? Pubic Uggs?

Pubic Uggs. Yeah. You had multiple pugs? It collects everything. No, but I was also like – Pubic Uggs? Pubic Uggs, yeah. You had multiple pugs? It collects everything. Oh, actually, just the dog in general, like a dog. I love like scrunch-faced dogs, like bulldogs, and I just think there's a lot of better options. Like not so much that the pug itself like is a bad – sorry, I get very emotional talking about these things.

As do I. Yes, yeah, it's very hard, but I will persevere. Yeah, it's hard. So I think that there are a lot better options for scrunch face dogs. A pug is fine, but bulldogs are cute. There's also French bulldogs. I think there's other scrunch face options. Wait, so why are you... Yeah, what was wrong with your pug?

Oh, I didn't have... I just think... I've never had a pug. I guess what's your bias against the pug that you're like, we have other options. I think they're overhyped. Like, I think that – like, you see Pugs Not Drug shirts, like, walking around. And you're just like, I think bulldogs really need a resurgence. Like, I think because England is so on its way out, people have not been pumping up the English bulldog.

Well, I feel like Frenchies, everybody's got a French bulldog. Yeah. Like, one of my best friends, Allie, she has a French Bulldog. I feel like our other friend, Nick, Nikki, she's got a... Man, people... Yeah, people out here, I feel like Frenchies are in. Yeah, girls especially. Like, the purse dog has gone out.

Like, in L.A., like, the cute, like, teacup dogs used to be, like, the fad. Right, right, right, right. You mean just gross chihuahuas? Shih Tzus and little chihuahuas. Like, like they're accessories yeah yeah uh okay what's something that is underrated oh gluten-free pizza is underrated oh yes sorry hallelujah it's so good it is it's not like i am a huge i'm a pizza head but um i uh my girlfriend has celiacs, and she won't listen to this, so I'm not saying this for her. Literally, I'm like, God, I'm going to have to start eating gluten-free pizza, but it's good. It's thin crust.

There's no difference, I feel like, between a thin crust and a gluten-free pizza. And you don't feel as bloated afterwards. Like you could eat a whole one. What is it, rice flour? Yeah. Yeah, that's a common one, like usually rice-based. Yeah. Interesting.

I mean, I remember that I went on a date with someone who was, I think also has celiacs. And I had gluten-free pizza for the first time. Oh, and she was vegan. So like we doubled down on like to me was an abomination it was cardboard with like witch hair on italian air yeah exactly i was like this is cool and i was like this is not gonna work because i need to eat regular pizza but you're saying it's underrated i'm saying it's underrated and then if it's like a place where i'm like oh i really like the dough here we'll just order separate right what else you got um also underrated southwest airlines a sponsorship uh no i'm not sponsored i actually and by the friendly skies

um i think that's another airline but yeah i like flying that um because it gets like i feel like people think it's a cheap airline which it is but it's also uh i like the open seating because if you know where to sit oh yeah a lot of travelers don't know so they'll like fuck up and sit in like you know a place like you could get in 30th 40th on the plane i'll see it in like an emergency exit row right like people don't know so i think that's and they have like those headrests now where if you curve them like you can just place your head like you don't even need a pillow. Oh, really? Yeah. I used to travel Southwest a lot when I worked in politics because I fly mostly a lot like on the West Coast.

Right. And the one thing is like, yeah, a lot of people don't realize like certain airports have tricks. Like when you fly into Burbank, sit in the back because you can deplane from the back. Yes. And most people want to get in the front or whatever. I'm like, oh, if I'm in the back, I'm going to get off last. You can get off first. So these are little tricks that we learned.

And Southwest lets you change your flight without charging you a fee. Okay, well, let's stop plugging them. You know, they're not sponsored. So we don't give them the free ad. Oh, I know. That's something that I like about them, if I ever use them. And the flight attendant's hilarious. So funny.

Very funny. All right, well, let's get into the show. So as you guys know, here at the Daily Zeitgeist, youist, we're just trying to see what's going on out there. Take that thermometer, put it in the national consciousness and see what comes up. It looks like 98.6 degrees. Maybe we're a little bit hotter right now because there are some things we'll talk about. But yes, that's what we're trying to do. We just want to give you guys a sampling of what we're thinking about, maybe what the rest of the world is thinking about.

And usually to start off, we always want our guests to take down a myth, right? Something that is being perpetuated in the media or just the collective conscious of humans across the world and universe that just needs to be debunked. We just need to tell truth on this show. And Blake, I need you to tell us some truth right now. What is your truth? Well, this is a massive issue sweeping the country. And by the way, hopefully this doesn't make the show too serious.

the country. And by the way, hopefully this doesn't make the show too serious, but I have figured out that making your own pizza is actually more expensive than buying it. And that is... No. Yes. And that is what... I'm sorry to bring it up this early, but... Why don't we go to break?

No. No. No. We need to talk through this. That's not my place. We need to talk through this. It's cheaper to... You're saying it's cheaper. People think it's cheaper to make your own pizza correct but wait so how much what are we talking all right so i'm gonna go make like uh and make it i'm not gonna go ingredient by ingredient right thank you oh yeah it's not a cooking show no not good for uh the list yeah people are just throwing their computers in the ocean um but uh yeah so basically so i've been making deep dish pizzas lately. Deep dish gluten-free pizza?

I've done that, but let's not even go there. So while the girlfriend's away, the gluten will play. It's a real bachelor party in my kitchen. Yeah, so basically, as you hit late 20s, early 30s, people start cooking because you become an adult. You want a hobby so i started making pizza dough three bucks uh saw the thing of sauce probably like if you get like all right let's go like two to three so we're up to like you know eight bucks already yeah and uh so let's say it's a large then you have uh like the meats and stuff if you want to put that on there yeah that's another and and you do that's another like probably depending on how much like six to ten maybe so you're already up to like 14 bucks and then also it's i mean depending on how

good you are it like it probably isn't gonna be as good no you know what i mean i mean unless you have like the best pieces i've had that were homemade people have a pizza stone yes that's usually like the hack if you're really if you're really about that homemade pizza. Right, right. Get a pizza stone. So, you know, it's good to know. Yeah. Because if you're already at 14, you know, just hop in your car, go to Little Caesars, get that $5 hot and ready, and you're good. And labor.

The labor. Yeah. Gas. To bake the fucking thing. The hazards. Yeah, yeah. The hazardous condition. Workman's comp. Yeah.

For yourself. Chef's comp. The destroyed self- For yourself. The chef's comp. The destroyed self-esteem when the pizza you put out of the oven just looks like some fucked up, like, flying saucer with tomato sauce on it. Yes. Yeah, that's when, and when you fuck it up, then it's like the emotional devastation where it's like, I'm nothing. I have no value. Right. Like, this is, and I'm hungry, first of all.

And in your mind, a pizza's the easiest thing to make. Just flatten a circle of dough out, put the sauce down and put the cheese on top. And then when it comes out, that's the other thing too, is like the first time I ever made a pizza,

like the crusts are way bigger than you anticipated. You're like, yeah, that is too much fucking crust. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to even make a circle.

My pizza would be looking like Australia. My pizza would be looking like Africa. It's a cultural pizza, y'all. Oh, when I came over, I thought you'd do that on purpose. Oh, yeah. That's what I told you. Yeah, you're like, Africa. It's a cultural piece of y'all. Oh, when I came over, I thought you could do that on purpose. Oh, yeah. That's what I told you.

Yeah, and you're like, and this little piece of garlic bread is Madagascar. And I'm like, wow, we really know. It's not burnt. It's Cajun. Exactly. It's my favorite. Progressive pizza we had. Yeah, it's excellent.

Nice. Well, good to know that now it's a figure. So for all you people out there, I mean, unless you're buying bulk quantities to make it work for you, it sounds like just stick to buying pizza from your corporate overlords, right? Isn't that the lesson here? But not Papa John's. Not Papa John's, no. No.

Shit is trash and you will get diabetes from eating it. I don't care what Carl Tartt says on Twitter. We had it out. Was Carl defending it? Carl Tartt was defending it. People who don't know, Carl Tartt hasn't been on the show yet. He will be. Very funny comedian.

And I basically was talking about how papa john's was bullshit and he was like how are you gonna say that name your top places and i put little caesars above papa john simply for the fact that the owner is bullshit he's fucking he's a he's an idiot he's problematic and the pizza is objectively the sauce is too sweet it's too too sweet. Thank you. And it's too doughy. Thank you. Exactly. The mouthfeel is all wrong. Let's just leave it there because this is not pizza cake.

They, like, sneeze peppers into it. You know what I mean? Someone just threw fucking peppers into the box. And the only point I conceded to him was, yes, it comes with a little butter garlic sauce so your crusts don't go to waste. That is one thing I wish other places did because usually when you eat, like, fast food pizza, you're just like, and done. Right.

But anyway, let's get into the news because we spent so much time talking about pizza, which I love to do. Because there's real stuff happening. So first of all, there are so many things that happened this week that I'm going to have to just blow through a few stories, and we're just going to get into it. First of all, the Supreme Court started hearing arguments about the cake maker in Colorado. I think it was Masterpiece Cakes because he denied a gay couple the service because he said, well, it's against my religion. This will be a pretty big case because depending on how the Supreme Court decides,

we may be constitutionally protecting discrimination, which could be bad. I'm sure we'll get into that a little later. The GOP rhetoric around Robert Mueller has been spicing up. They're doing their best to paint Robert Mueller as a bad person. And the people that are working on this probe is like very biased. You know, you know, Hillary lovers who were born in Kenya who love Obama.

Who knows what the fuck they're trying to say. But look out for that because it seems like the probe is getting serious. And also this week, you know, we finally passed some gun legislation after all the horrific shootings. But guess what? While it did give us, you know, tighter background checks, it also helped to basically a step towards nationalizing concealed carry permits. So your Texas concealed carry permit, you can go anywhere with your peace now. And that is an NRA wet dream wish list item. So these are things that we all lost just sort of in the general kerfuffle,

as if I may use that word of the news. So guys, keep your eye on that. Now let's get into the nitty gritty for a second. On Tuesday, the showdown in Alabama is finally going to happen. Doug Jones and Roy Moore. This is not a boxing match. This is a Senate race, but it's getting very hot. We don't know who is going to win, if the accused pedophile is going to be the next senator from Alabama, or if a guy who literally prosecuted the KKK and stand up person will enter the Senate. We are yet to see. Trump is stumping for him. Basically, he's having a rally, I think, today in Pensacola, Florida, which is sort of like a real roundabout way of having a rally in Alabama,

because it's like the same media market as the mobile area. So without having to fully be in Alabama, you're close enough that you're going to get all your Trump supporters from Alabama to show up. And we will see where that goes. And along those lines of Roy Moore, there was an article in the LA Times that came out about, you know roy moore has a very special place in his heart for the time of the antebellum south as we call or the time of the confederacy and slavery uh he apparently had a rally uh that was had a predominantly white audience there was like one of the few uh black people that were there asked him what he felt the greatest time uh in u.s history was and he referenced the antebellum south said, I think it was great at the time when

families were united, even though we had slavery. They cared for one another. Our families were strong. Our country had a direction. I mean, it was good times. You know, black people are on those unpaid internships. We could not be turning for big cotton. I've been turning for big cotton.

The fabric of our lives. the fabric of this country. Yes. Listen, but I don't I think that that's one of the weird things that's been interesting about Trump's presidency is it really kind of galvanizes all of his base, which are like, you know, racist, horrible people for the most part. Right. To say things that they never felt comfortable saying, like when Barack obama's president or even any president previous you know respected the office so obviously roy moore is not alone here because hbo was like oh we got to put out confederate like we got to be lit we got a market for this we've tested it so people obviously agree with this it's just wild that like you could be accused pedophile he's like said the wildest shit he said like he thinks women are not like mentally fit to serve in office and now you're adding i think slavery was the best time how much more fucking like as a

objectively bad person do you have to be before like your polling numbers go down but we'll see tuesday but i guess to me one thing that i really that's kind of tragic about this is that like he's using christianity to sort of obscure his like really like, you know, racist and biased feelings. And he's, and he's sort of, he's giving like really good Christian people a bad name. I don't think, you know, a lot of people in like mainstream media, especially like liberal stuff, they want to be like, Oh, these Southern Christians are basically racist or whatever. I know plenty of people who are Christians from the South who are legitimately like, yes, I believe in the teachings of Christ insofar as that I believe in treating people

fairly. I feel like, you know, I need to be empathetic. And there are many people like that. My grandparents are, you know, they come from the South, they're Christian people and they're not, you know, they're trying to be good people. And I just feel like it's terrible that he's using this to kind of, you know, put a bad name on other people who actually, you know, are good, upstanding religious people and not using that as like a defense for, you know, this is why the gays are after us and blah, blah, blah. Like, come on now. He was also given all of U.S. history, you know, like all of it. And he chose that part. And even if he was trying to, like, appeal to that type of Alabama voter, just be like, yeah, Bear Bryant when he coached Alabama. You know what I mean? Like, he could have just said that. But he was he had to appeal to that type of alabama voter just be like uh yeah bear bryant when he

coached alabama you know what i mean like he could have just said that but he was he had to go to slavery like there was so many uh you know errors in american history with good family values that he could have picked but he went to the confederacy which is just how just fucked up that pedophile was it forrest gump from alabama yes by you La Batre? Yes. I would have even said Forrest Gump. Yeah. Well, to be fair to him, there's really no time in history where life was good for black people. True. I mean, even currently.

We were a little hard on him. He's been a little hard on Roy Moore. In the year 4055, when the entire world has become one unified race. That is my favorite time. Pangaea. That is not now. Yeah, right. Pangaeo. It's a man. Ret time. Pangea. That is not now. Yeah, right. Pangeo.

It's a man. Returning to Pangea. Awesome. Okay, cool. So, oh, and one last thing, just to kind of sum up the craziness that's going on. There is a civil rights museum that is opening, I think, in Jackson, Mississippi. And at the opening of the museum will be Donald Trump. Mississippi. And at the opening of the museum will be Donald Trump. And so because of this,

Georgia Congressman John Lewis will not be attending because of course not. You don't want to have a white supremacist who thinks the KKK are good people at the opening of a civil rights museum. Fuck out of here. What do you think was going to happen? And then Sarah Sanders, when they asked her what the White House thought of John Lewis not being there, she says, quote, We think it's unfortunate that these members of Congress wouldn't join the president in honoring the incredible sacrifice civil rights leaders made to right the injustices in our history. The president hopes others will join him in recognizing that the movement was about removing barriers and unifying Americans of all backgrounds. So let me tell you something, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

John Lewis is literally a civil rights icon. This dude teamed up with Martin Luther, the king, to basically march in Selma for the Voting Rights Act, and he got his fucking skull fractured by the state police over it and brought a lot of attention on it. This man has literally spilled blood for the civil rights movement. So I think, please,

again, I think we have a big, uh, we have a problem with not knowing history. Facts have never been a big thing in the Republican party. I was actually reading an article about ideology, uh, with Republicans and how it's more based in the fundamental ideologies of the

party than it is the actual candidates. So even when it comes to like Roy Moore, which is a scary statistic, this is what I was looking up, was like 85 percent of Democrats believe that he should not be able to run for office and 54 percent of Republicans believe that he should not be able to run for office. So they still have almost half of the base that's like, no, this is fine. Well, hey, you know, because I think some people really they just don't want to acknowledge that they might be wrong. And I think those people are honestly operating in a reality where the media is lying. They're like, these are lies.

They don't even think I don't because if you even thought there was an ounce of truth to these allegations, there's no way you could be like a functioning human and be like, nah, nah, nah, nah. Actually, New York Magazine did a poll, and 71% of Alabama Republicans think that Roy Moore's allegations are completely made up. Right, exactly. Like, they don't care. Right, because it doesn't matter, because it's not real. That's how he's still viably in this race, which is insane.

It's like what we look at with people who are like birthers, where it's like, I don't believe that, because that's something you made up. I think they're operating. So that is true. Is that what you're saying? No. Good to know.

Ha ha. Fake news propaganda has really worked. Bring the alarm. Get Blake out of here. We shall see. Again, Tuesday, please get out and vote. If you have any people in Alabama, if you're listening in Alabama, please go out and vote for Doug Jones. Do not let this man desecrate the Senate even more because it's already a very weird place.

And with that, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.

There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit,

where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lying. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch 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. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila

caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.

Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we are back. Now, guys, we got a lot of tweets and texts and emails. Well, at least my mom emailed me about the convergence of two very beloved segments on this show, Bloid Watch and Mengazi.

In a segment we're calling Lloyd guys. Because look, it, it has finally come. They have converged because apparently a dozen employees, some current, some former of American media Inc, which is the,

you know, the company that like we've said, time and again, owns publications like the inquire and us weekly. They have come forward with allegations against the chief content officer at this company. And so basically he was going around to women at the workplace. He was bragging about his sexual experiences, making women talk about their sex partners and oftentimes, quote, making them watch or listen to porn while at work. Isn't that cool?

Isn't that cool, office? to porn while at work. Isn't that cool? Isn't that cool, office? But the best thing is that you're going to love is that the person in question, Dylan Howard, who's the chief content officer, he basically wanted everyone in the office to call him by the nickname Dildo. Okay. Subtle, though.

Yeah, very subtle. So yeah, when your name's Dildo, you know you're probably going to be talking about like Fabergé eggs and like crossword puzzles. Right. Very highbrow. Maybe he was trying to normalize his uh sexual assault he was like look if i my name is dildo people gonna expect like when you in the room with dildo you're gonna see some dick like then they can't get mad because you know what you walked into yeah you know my name dildo i'm dildo i'm dildo that's true because the judge might even be like and what did you think when you were in a room with a man named Dildo?

What did you think was going to happen? He was going to respect you? Yeah. Like, come on now. He was like, yeah, you want to read some legal opinions from Gloria Allred? No, Dildo actually paid off my college loans with no strings attached. He's actually a great guy. He's a really nice guy.

His name's Dildo. Very good guy. Dildo Jenkins. He's a very kind gentleman. Ah, old Dildo. So basically, yeah, this guy named Dildo Jenkins. He's a very kind gentleman. Ah, old Dildo. So basically, yeah, this guy named Dildo, this is not a made-up thing. He really thinks that's a cool-sounding nickname, is facing these accusations. And apparently that's not the only reason why this guy is in the news, too, is there

was also an article coming out that connected him with Harvey Weinstein and sort of his, as we know, as the Weinstein sexual enterprise, which is like the great coordinated effort to, you know, intimidate and harass accusers. So him and his position as the content officer at the Inquirer and these other tabloid magazines, he basically had Harvey Weinstein's back in a lot of this stuff. So I guess they worked on a show together at one point. And Dildo did help Harvey by getting – what he would do is get exclusive rights to stories that would negatively affect Harvey Weinstein and then bury them, which is I guess a pretty well-known practice in tabloid journalism, which is called catch and kill.

So he would find somebody with a story and be like, yes, we want the exclusive for this, and then we shelve it, and then it's bye-bye. Wow. That's interesting um so that is like and what's crazy is too this same tactic was also employed by the inquiry to help trump hide an affair too when there were like allegations of him having like like stuff going on with him and playboy models uh so this isn't i mean it's not really surprising uh because also joe scarborough earlier this this year said that Trump was exploiting his friendship with American Media Inc. to also kind of like lean on him and Mika Brzezinski from Morning Joe. They were talking real spicy about Donald Trump and they did not like it.

So in an op-ed that Joe Scarborough wrote, he said that White House officials warned him that the National Enquirer was planning an expose about their relationship and urged them to beg Trump to get the paper to back off. So it basically seems like Harvey Weinstein is using the same friendship as Trump to intimidate his victims. No surprise, right? Because we all know Donald Trump has wild accusations against him, too, that apparently we don't really want to talk about. I mean, but guys, if you want to take a bet, what do you think happened to Dildo? You think he still has a job? I'm going to go with yes.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Unfortunately. Of course. Why the fuck would he? Yeah, no. Yeah, they have a quote saying, they said, in the wake of these baseless allegations, he has the full support of AMI and its executives.

I mean, dude, the guy's name is Dildo, and these are baseless allegations, he has the full support of AMI and its executives. I mean, dude, the guy's name is Dildo and these are baseless allegations. What about their journalistic integrity? Right. You know, they've worked so hard to build up this, you know, like this look and like their reputation. Now they're going to ruin it. This tabloid is going to ruin their pristine reputation. I'm not going to believe anything they say about John Bonet Ramsey anymore. I'm done.

Thank you. No, today is the last day. Maybe. All right. It publishes today, say about John Bonet Rams anymore. I'm done. Thank you. No, today is the last day. Maybe, all right, it publishes today, right? Yeah.

Okay, cool. Yeah, today is the last day. It is the last day. And then we'll revisit it Monday. Exactly. We'll see if they have another.

If I'm checking out at the grocery store and it's looking lit, I might have to pick it up. There's a hot take that, yeah, somehow like Hillary killed John Bonet.

Right, that's the take, yeah, with her emails. That's what I need to know. She did a Benghazi on her. So to continue, actually, Benghazi, traditionally, I've got to bring up that Arizona Congressman Trent Franks, like, suddenly resigned yesterday, like, out of nowhere, which is very strange

because apparently he was discussing the idea of surrogacy with two of his staffers. But that's all we know is that he said he discussed surrogacy with some staffers possibly them being surrogates for his family but it's weird that suddenly before we even know about that he just straight up said hey i'm gonna get ahead of this i'm gonna resign because i don't want the media to do anything and you know that has to be some crazy shit like if the media hasn't even heard about it yet he must know that it could be so bad that he's like before they even try and like blow the story up. I'm just going to debt it and resign. I would just quit my career right now.

Right. Well, the idea like is like, oh, over surrogacy. Like I can imagine if at first I thought he was just talking about the idea of surrogacy or the process of it. But I guess if you're then telling your like staffers, you like you fertile and would you like to carry our family's seed that's fucking weird and inappropriate but i feel like it has to be something even more intense than that and this is again wild speculation but it's weird like i feel like if like trump wanted to get ahead of the you know grab him by the pussy tape he was like just so you know a tape might come out where i'm talking about alternative greeting methods and blah blah blah but my name used to be pussy grabber around the office right

exactly so it's fine i i can't imagine what what that was about but also to continue uh i don't know did you have something to say oh no i was just gonna say like i hope like because it has been happening quicker where these people have been like kicked out of their jobs other you know offices where obviously you know the the quote-unquote scary thing would be like oh what if they're innocent but it's like well let's you know like let's visit that like a little bit later you know like i think hopefully this is a good thing about society is that these people like people are taking actions against you know like these sexual predators like yeah you know uh lauer was gone immediately we didn't know anything about like the that was because everybody knew for a

minute right right That's true. He had a little rape machine under his desk. They poured water on the rape machine and it steamed poured out of it.

Hopefully these predators are being kicked out quicker than the long, arduous process that's going on with our president. Who knows if that's

Paul Ryan trying to be like, hey, look, we're holding people accountable too. Or if maybe this is really vile. I don't know it's hard to tell it's gotta be bad if it's one of those that it's probably the blowback affects more people than just him so it's like they had to get him out quietly so that he didn't just blow up a hole like i think also like to go along with that is that you know it's clear now that the Democrats are trying to establish themselves as a party that's taking women seriously and their accusations seriously. So if they sniff any kind of fuckery, you're done.

But it's clear to most people what the GOP is going on about, because you got a president who has many accusations against him and a Senate candidate who is an accused pedophile. And they're like, well, let's let the people of Alabama decide. That's a cop out so anyway to continue with that too i just want i don't want people to lose track of the fact that trump also has many weird stories and allegations about it but for whatever for whatever reason the media doesn't want to really hold his feet to the fire like they do many of these other people i don't want it to be nebulous and abstract because it's very easy to lose sight of things with how quickly the news cycle ends this This woman, Rachel Crooks, last year during the campaign, came out to talk about interactions she had with Donald Trump in 2005.

That were very creepy. And I think we have her telling this tale. So I knew he was a partner of ours, so I wanted to introduce myself. I shook his hand, and he gave me a kiss on each cheek, which was normal, but he held onto my hand, and he continued to kiss my cheeks over and over again as he sort of inserted small talk. You know, he asked me where I was from, if I was a model, told me he had his own modeling agency, but he kept repeatedly kissing me, and then finally he kissed me on the lips. Unwanted, forcibly kissing you on the lips.

Definitely. Yeah, who wants fucking Donald Trump to kiss him on the lips? No. Not even fucking Melania Trump wants to be kissed on the lips. Her first and foremost is not. Yeah, that is just a fucking weird, like, small talk between kissing, like, on the cheek. Anyway, is the weather nice? What kind of perfume are you wearing?

It's the weirdest. Just hearing her describe it, it makes my fucking skin crawl. It sounds like a football tactic. It sounds like you go left, then you go right, then you go left, then you go right, then you go down the middle. Which is expected. You know how ugly men got to kiss people. It's called the rapist juke. I think.

Yeah. Jesus. Disgusting. Yeah. It's it's it's what's crazy, too, is that they recently interviewed her, too. And people said in this whole groundswell of women coming forward and holding men accountable for these sexual assaults or harassment. They asked her if she felt forgotten. She said yes.

And it's true like yeah we're not we really need to keep reminding people too that the person who's holding the highest office also has these kinds of allegations against him i mean granted look yeah al franken was forcibly kissing a woman and they they were like okay that's dead you're gone we i i just feel like we we have to have some kind of standard because like we're slowly losing grip of reality uh and it's easy to like kind of to lose track of that like with all the shit that comes out in every kind of news that comes out also like the kiss greeting in general like i think should go like i think it's rarely warranted like i'm sure like obviously you like because it's always the guy doing it to the girl you know what i mean and it's just i feel like that's almost never welcomed and it's not like i'm sure there's certain cultures where that's like a standard you know like uh greeting

but in general i feel like men take advantage of that or it's like no you're not greeting someone you're using this as an excuse to kiss a woman against like what she would want yeah absolutely and it's always a firm semi-moist kiss on the cheek. And it happens very, very often. Does it? Like, at least, you know, three or four times a month. Jesus. No, that's a lot. You hanging out with a lot of people

who studied abroad and just got home? Well, I'll be on sets and stuff. And especially with older men, like, they'll hug you and they give you a firm, planted kiss on your cheek and do it multiple times. Even, I'm like,

I just saw your ass. I just saw you at crafty, and they go, what, you coming over and kissing me again? Just put, like'm like, I just saw your ass. I just saw you at crafty, nigga. What are you coming over and kissing me again? Just put like habanero extract on your cheeks. Oh yeah,

you like that? Yeah. There's actually been articles about even like hugging in the workplace that have come out where women are like, great,

we can take hugging in the workplace off the table. If we're not friends, if I don't want to, and you can tell when people don't want to hug your ass,

when you bring your arms out and they don't return the arms, you better make it a high five real quick. Yeah, you're suddenly doing a fucking spin move. You're like, no, I'm good. Right. The worst is the pelvis thing.

I think if you lead with your arm, like, I mean, if someone doesn't want to be hugged, do not hug. But if you are going to hug someone in a professional setting, stick your ass out as far as it can go. Yeah, and literally just like, I don't know, like tap them on their shoulders basically. Leave enough room for the Holy Spirit. Thank you. Thank you. The whole Holy Trinity should be able to fit in between. Just, just kind of do a solid fist.

Like, yeah, right on. I like that. Good for you. Finger guns, whatever you got to do. That's good. But anyway, yes, we just wanted to keep that on people's radars. Also, he said he had a modeling agency. Like that is some real fucking little league creep game. It you know i have modeling agency but is he untouchable

maybe that's why people feel no he just don't matter no too many people depend on him being in office which is why that the things can't come tumbling down it's easy to bring down harvey weinstein when his when his stock is falling when his star is degrading right you know what i mean after they like built rape into his contract basically like you only get four a year harvard now you're abusing it yeah and now he's facing rico charges like the fucking crime family the thing that gives me hope about with the trump you know trump investigations and like uh the sexual harassment allegations is that i was listening to uh barbara walters on a separate podcast i'm not going to name it he's an angry old not old jewish comedian uh first name starts with m last name starts with m i'm not going to name it. He's an angry old, not old, Jewish comedian.

First name starts with M. Last name starts with M. I'm not going to say who it is, though. There's another, I'm not going to say it. I'm sorry. I'm not going to advertise. But she was on his podcast and was saying how when she was, she was a beat reporter during Watergate. You can say Mark Maron. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Sorry. So, all right. You said it, not me. sorry uh so uh all right well you said it not me so uh she was on his podcast and she was talking about how it took um the news like reporters ended up like finding out about you know watergate and like all the shady shit that nixon was doing about two years before the news broke but when you come out with those allegations it needs to be airtight So I think as much as patients suck because people are being hurt right now, it's affecting so many people's lives negatively, the patience of it is that we may not see what's happening,

but Nixon took a year and a half, two years. So obviously he should have been in there in the first place. You have to get your receipts together before you make a return. Right, right. Well put. All right, guys, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be back with Beloit. Wow. See you in a second.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.

And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.

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

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. Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we are back. So, guys, it's Friday. Obviously, we've got to go through the Bloids. It's time for Bloid Watch.

And it looks like a lot of the covers, obviously, it's print, so you can't be on top of everything. A lot of them are talking about Matt Lauer. We already did that. But we want to go deeper in and see what is going on in these tabloids because sometimes they predict celebrity deaths and sometimes it's just outright insanity. Lacey, what do you have over – what were you reading? So I'm still stuck on Black Princess.

Y'all can call her a duchess if you want, but she will be Black Princess to every black woman forever. Megan Markle. The one thing I want to say, isn't she going to be the duchess of Sussex? Yeah, yeah, whatever. Which is like sus sex. I feel like they shaded her with that one. Anyway, but go on. Because also yesterday, Edgar had a hot take on Meghan Markle, how she is not the answer to all your dreams. Like, no prince is going to come for you and marry you and sweep you away.

But I know you don't believe that. I've seen your Instagram stories. Edgar and I are friends, and he can just catch these hands on that one because I'll tell you this. As soon as Meghan Markle was engaged, I was like, oh, don't talk to me if you're not in a royal family. Okay? You need to be a duke. You can be a duke. You can be a knight.

You can be an earl. You can be a baron. But you need to be in a royal family because that's where my standards is at now. What if you sell Red Baron pizza? That's close enough. Okay, I like that. Okay, good. Like, the pizza, that's an empire.

So we could do that. I'll be the queen of the Baron pizza, bitch. Put me on the box. Okay? Baroness. So what do you got in the, what are they saying? Are they talking crazy about Meghan Markle or what? Of course they are.

I mean, you know, if you go into the bowels of the internet, there's so many racist trolls. I saw one where it was like, this is how Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle and they opened up a ring box and there was a piece of chicken inside. That shit was funny. Racism hurts, but that was hilarious. I was like, kudos.

Now, if they had made it a flat chicken wing, that would have been lit. Oh, yes. Lemon pepper? Oh, yes. Yes. There she is. But it was a nugget. But I was like, this is still good effort. I appreciate had made it a flat chicken wing and that would have been oh yes lemon pepper oh yes yes there she is um but it was a nugget but i was like this is still good effort i appreciate it y'all but now they're talking about basically how the royal family is also participating in digging up megan markle's dirt uh the queen is supposedly in this in this um national inquire supposedly she's uh collecting a secret dirt dossier that she will be keeping to

manipulate Meghan and keep her in line at all times. Wow, to keep a black woman in line at all times. Wow, interesting. Try it, try it. Kappa Kappa Gamma is the sorority that Meghan Markle was in when she was at Northwestern in Chicago.

And basically a lot of her sisters, her sisters, hard R, they are coming out to say that she was a hot mess in college. Real rambunctious. Who wasn't? Yeah, you're in college in a fucking sorority. Everyone's an alcoholic.

Let it go. She's not a theology student in a seminary. Exactly. And I know for a fact that a lot of news outlets are attacking Megan's friends and harassing her friends. Because I have a friend who is a friend of hers. And they are hitting her up with money trying to get these stories. So it is true that they're trying to go after her. But it's like, what are you going to do? If you're a 36-year-old woman, we all got skeletons.

There are people I will have to kill when my career blows up. I have an actual skeleton in the trunk of my car. Oh, shit. I'm just going to come out with that. Yeah, it's human. It's human. Absolutely. But it's an artifact.

Well, it's not technically human. It's Homo erectus. Oh, sure. Before we became Homo sapiens. Well, let's not put labels on the skeleton. We're all human. Thank you. Exactly.

But if there's anybody who can hold it together, I believe it's the black woman because we know how to scheme and scam and keep our shit cute and clean. Look at the Obama daughters like they're what they're just now getting Malia smoking a little weed in a state where it's legal. After she was in office all these years, they catch her as doing shit. The Bush twins were doing coke and sticking their head out of limousines as soon as they pulled up in that bitch. Like black women can hide their dirt better than anybody else, okay? That's how we walking around with fake hair you never knew wasn't ours. Thank you. Some of them I can't tell, though.

Okay, but Miles, that's a train dime, all right? You know how many times I showed up someplace and people were like, oh my God, your hair grew. I was like, yes, my hair grew 12 inches overnight. I was blessed. Right. I just threw in a virgin Remy 26 before i came in here she's gonna hide them secrets like a good weave uh also one thing what else i want to flag in here i want to

talk about uh just because kim kardashian is ever present in uh tabloids apparently there is a lot of drama going on with her and her surrogate and kanye and not knowing what's going on i just want to read some of the best parts of this thing. Apparently, quote, they're at loggerheads. They're talking about Kim and Kanye, about the birth being filmed for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, explains a source. Kanye's made it clear that cameras are banned from delivery room and doesn't even want Kim's mom to be there. But Kim's insisting that Kris be by her side.

So it looks like, again, Kanye is like, I'm trying to be a normal person where someone can just give birth and it not be a Super Bowl halftime special. And then also, Kim, she's been crying on a routine basis because this baby just feels so physically distant from her. You don't say. That's the thing with surrogacy. It would appear that way, that it's physically distant. Also, another thing that is really funny is that Kim, like, apparently is really jealous of the woman. That's why she didn't invite her to the baby shower, because she didn't want her to be the center of attention.

And the surrogate doesn't even want Kim to be in the delivery room because there is so much tension. She doesn't want the surrogate to even hold her daughter after she gives birth. Kim is extremely concerned that she won't bond with the baby because she didn't carry it they just don't get along it seems but who knows unbelievable whatever there are real things going on like this uh cardi b wants a one-of-a-kind party so if you guys don't know cardi b uh queen cardi from the bronx bodak yellow was a song this summer. We all know this. She is engaged to offset of the Migos, or Migos, sorry, not the Migos. I used to say that as a joke, and people want to correct me. But so she's having a wedding, and the dress code is very particular. She, quote, wants all of the guests to wear red and all of her bridesmaids to wear suits instead of dresses.

What you don't know about Cardi B is she's actually down with bloods. Yes, she is in the blood game. She is. It's serious. So that's a fucking wedding if you've ever seen it. I mean, if everybody is wearing red. Cardi B. It's literally the red wedding.

And let's see what else. There's going to be a stage with a stripper pole and money guns filled with bills on the tables to make it rain on the dancers she has hired. Cardi's wedding will go down in history. I would love to see this wedding. I would want to go to this wedding so badly. I hope Mona Scott comes to Cardi and says, you're not having this wedding without me producing it.

So that we can all see. Yes. The wedding has an executive producer. Oh, yeah. Kind of like a line producer. I mean, Mona Scott made Cardi B. So you feel like Mona Scott has to have first refusal on televising this. Absolutely.

I can't imagine this not being televised. If Gucci Mane has a televised wedding, Offset and Cardi B have to have a television wedding. Before we go, I just want to end this week, this season. It's been a great season. This is season 9. I mean, we're about to go into season 10. This is the cliffhanger episode.

And this has been, you know, I feel like we've talked a lot about a lot of heavy stuff this week. But I think it's good just to remind people that there's good news out there. There are good people. There are real stories worth telling that aren't just about people getting violated or racism or, you know, wealth redistribution or the numerous topics we talk about. Fucking climate change. It can feel very overwhelming. So I just want to bring this up. And if you can nick please cue some sentimental music thank you yes so yes we're living in a very tough time right now but i want to i want to let people know about

a very special relationship between a man named spencer slay on a 22 year old rapper and producer from east harlem and a woman 81 year old rosind Gutman, who lives in a retirement facility in Palm Beach, Florida. So one day, I guess, the young rapper, Spencer, was hanging out with his friends, and they're going around the room talking about who their closest friends were. And when it was his turn, he said, my best friend is an 81-year-old white woman who lives in a retirement home in Florida. And that was a little bit of an exaggeration but apparently these two became friends while playing the game words

with friends the great unifier we all know and they were just randomly matched up and at first they were just going hard at each other really just trying to win at words with friends and then they started using the chat function in words with friends and the the conversation started actually become more personal. They were talking about their lives, their hopes, their dreams. And apparently, Spencer was living in Silver Spring, Maryland. Shout out to Silver Spring, Maryland. And he really wanted to go to New York to chase his dreams.

And this really kind woman just told him, you know, you got to go out there and grab what you want and really go for it because that's what dreams are made of. So eventually, he did. and he was doing really well. And sadly, he had to stop using the game because life and things like that got caught up and he wasn't able to attend to this relationship. But then Amy Butler, who was the mother of one of his friends, overheard him talking about his online friend. And so this woman, Ms. Butler, she's a senior minister at a church in Manhattan

and she wanted to tell the story of their friendship. So she asked if she could get in touch with Ms. Gutman, and she got him to fly down to Florida to reunite them. And these photos, we will post them. You have to look at these because this is the most heartwarming thing of an unlikely couple. They played 300-plus games of Words with Friends together. That's them first meeting. Oh, I love that. Finally. That's their embrace meeting. Oh, I love that. Finally, that's their embrace.

Look at that embrace. They're so happy to see each other. That's awesome. That's a real ass hug. They look like she was locked down for the whole time. He was waiting for her to get out. And she finally got out. I was like, I was waiting for you.

And look at them. He looks so happy. And she looks great. And they're just friends. So unlikely friendship. We hear about so much racial tension this is a story of an 81 year old white woman and a young black man coming together through words with friends and they look i like this is not bullshit like these people look

like they really shared some time together and it reminds me of i think every person of color has a special white woman older white woman in their life for sure mine mine was mrs giordano uh she was a religion teacher at a high school i went to and she was so supportive of me being a class clown like she didn't fucking she like other teachers be like you got to get the fuck out of my room she would like kind of fuck with me like be like oh she would shoot back and kind of joke with me and then afterwards be like hey i know you're funny i get that you're funny but like did you not distract the class she did it so well that has so much respect for and she was such a nurturer so you know we know the sensation of the special old white woman lacy who's you who do you give out your special white woman award to
