Popeye's Chicken Sam. Open Sunday. Popeye's Chicken Sam. Hold the supply. Blow demand away. You my brioche bun. With the spicy mayo. But with that

mouthfeel. Oh, shit. You simply can't sustain. Jack OB warns ya. Now you can't complain. That's it. Ah, and That was Kanye West. That was. I knew that. I know that Bangar. Uh-huh. That was Kanye West. I knew that. I know that Bangar.

That was actually courtesy of Thurman's Mermins. Not Uma Thurman. Nope. Not Uma Thurman. Not Thurman Merman from Bad Santa? Maybe it is, actually. Wasn't that his name? Yeah, that's the picture.

Thurman Merman? Thurman's the picture. Thurman Merman? Thurman? Your name's Thurman Merman? And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! M-m-m-m-m-miles. Thank you so much to Taylor T. Flubbing for that crash test dummies i mean once there was a girl once there was a girl who wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room when they finally made her they found birthmarks all over her body

Come on, man. Let them rock with the birthmarks. I know. I had birthmarks I grew out of, and as a kid, I was like, wow, this is sensitive about my birthmarks. Yeah, I didn't think that birthmarks were such a thing that people would be

so self-conscious about. Well, you know, they nailed it. I think they're Canadian. They nailed that experience of not wanting to change. So that verse is cinema verite, but then the next verse has a dude get in a car accident and his hair turns bright white. It turned from black into bright white.

That's not a medical thing that can happen, is it? I mean, if you do a lot of cocaine. Right. Well, you start getting gray hair, but it's not like your thing that can happen is it i mean if you do a lot of cocaine right well you start getting gray hair but like yeah it's not like your your dark hair all of a sudden just goes hey it's gotta come from somewhere there's probably these are like local myths that maybe crash test dummies are just like airing out like doing bully shit through this song i don't know uh well our guest in our third seat is the hilarious comedian who we just gave a myth for free right there. Mr. Daniel Van Kirk.

Hello. What's up, man? Daniel is riding tonight with the gang. Wow. I'll take it. Elton John? Yes, sir. Pretty good, man.

I always think of that song. That would be a great. Do they use that enough in movies, that song? Daniel? Yeah, that's like such a haunting song. It is. It would be like a thing. I use that enough in movies, that song? Daniel? Yeah, that's such a haunting song. It is. It would be like a thing where... I can see the red taillights.

Like a bad guy driving his victim out to the... Have you seen Wonderland? No. The Val Kilmer about the murders? No, no, no, yeah. They end that with a Gordon Lightfoot song, which is so hauntingly perfect. Into your soul directly?

Yes, yes. Ooh. I wonder if they don't use that song because it has someone's name in it, and that's too specific. Oh, that's right. They're like, ah, the character's name's John, not Daniel. That's going to be confusing.

Fuck. Well, I implore writers out there, adapt your script so one of the characters can be Daniel and you can use that song. Why didn't they do it in There Will Be Blood? Right. Ugh. Imagine suddenly. be blood right i don't know where you got this great johnny greenwood score and then my boy or you could pay elton john to just change the name for sure oh yeah sure so like do luke

yeah the new star wars movie luke is riding tonight on a X-Wing. That'd be great. Yeah. That would be so sad though too. Like his career gets there. He's like, you're just dismantling your classics to like adapt them for more money. He's got to walk a fly in tonight on a X-Wing. I love it, man.

Hold me close now, Brandon Snuggie. Yeah. Like, whoa. Get that money now, Brandon Snuggie. Yes. Whoa. Get that money out. All right. Daniel, how are you, by the way? I'm great. You look great.

Thank you. I'm glad to be here. Yeah. Well, we're thrilled to have you. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. Great. First, we are going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. We're going to be talking about the new AirPods that are coming soon to a mind theater near you. Ear near you. Ear near you. Ear at or near you.

We're going to talk about Rudy's butt, butt dial. Got to. John Kelly, Monday morning quarterbacking this whole administration. And the super chilling quote from our new head of press, press secretary, Stephanie Grissom. We're going to talk about al-Baghdadi getting got over the weekend by the U.S. Army, Trump very elegantly announcing it and then not being as popular as he would have hoped yeah he would have expected based on that uh we're going to talk about gender reveal parties uh but first daniel we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are uh my most recent thing is making your own deck of cards hey that is very revealing uh because

uh this is gonna end up sounding like a plug but i my album is coming out and as that's what we're gonna sell for merch instead of like a cd or whatever in your download code the download code will be in a deck of cards so that the album artwork will be uh it'll say thanks diane which is the name of the album and then you can buy a deck of cards i also have a bit about a deck of cards so that the album artwork will be uh it'll say thanks diane which is the name of the album and then you can buy a deck of cards i also have a bit about a deck of cards in the big cheers fan i love cheers yeah diane is that who you're referencing yes not my mother oh because your mom is also named dan but i never even put those two together because i've been so focused never right no because i know you're on shelly long right yeah i'm a big shelly long fan great twofer now

you can tell your mom hey my, it's for you too. My mom keeps saying how appreciative she is of the album. And I thought, you love Cheers too? Yeah, because never. You've said only bad things about my comedy career. It's a mistake. I wish you did something else. Oh, I need to clear that up.

Because she's probably feeling a little too good about herself. For sure. Do you want to do it live right now? Yeah, mom, that's not for you. That's for Charlie Long's best work. Wow, that's embarrassing. I mean, after, what was that, Girl Scout? Troop Beverly Hills.

Yep, great movie. Great movie. So anyway, yeah, I've been trying to, we figured it out. We figured out how to get the cards made. You found a manufacturer? Yeah, anybody who wants things, Diane, let me know. We'll get you a deck of cards. Are the deck of cards also branded? Like each card found a manufacturer? Yeah, anybody who wants things, Diane, let me know. We'll get you a deck of cards. Are the deck of cards also branded

like each card has a thing? No. Or you're just finding a card you can at least brand the sleeve that holds the deck in? The back of every card will have the artwork on it. But the queen will not be your mother and the king will not be you. With a mic through your head.

Yeah, exactly. I should have done that. Guys, where were you? I know. You never called. You never called. I didn't call. No, you are my mom.

Last time you left, last time I was like, hey, man, I got some ideas about decks of cards. Really a very narrow focus I have, but if you ever do. Sometimes I like to imagine the other people searching when people tell us their search history because that is a perfectly valid reason to be searching that but I'm imagining other people searching how to like hand make

their own deck of cards wouldn't that be cool? these are all hand painted no joke I tried to do that as a kid you did? for sure I fucking got because I was like I need my own cards it's a total kid move I traced one card so crudely and kept using the same card on construction paper.

And like a kid, I wasn't efficient. I would just trace in the middle of the piece of paper when I could have probably fit five cards on one sheet. But I was like, nope, right out the middle. And then render the rest of the piece of paper useless. And then I didn't know how to number them. And I was like, nah, this is fucked up. I gave up.

Well, dude, don't worry. Pre-buy my... I think we will be selling some of the cards, maybe, but initially I'll just sell them in person. But people can go to danielvankirk.com if they want to pre-order. Hell yeah. I want mine signed. Do it.

What is something you think is underrated? The thing that I think is underrated is Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Yes. I don't think that show gets enough love. It's one of the funniest things I've ever watched when I was growing up. And I have all three seasons and I was watching them recently. And I feel like it doesn't get enough love. Yeah.

Do either one of you watch much of it at all? When it first came out? Yeah. I just loved it. It was so weird and awkward. Was Brack the one who had like a lateral lisp no the characters have like yeah you're talking like that yeah yeah yeah what's that was that oh i can't remember his name anyway was it zorak zorak brack i think it's zorak

that's the only ones i remember and i feel bad for all the and i just remember all that gangs out there yelling at us right now yeah it happens once an episode. It was Brack. I believe I'm getting in my ear from the... Yes, it is Brack. Okay. Confirmed. Brack confirmed. Who did the voices? I don't know. Voices of George Lowe, C. Martin Croker, Andy Merrill,

and Don Kennedy himself. Don, yo, will knock me over with a phone book. The Don Kennedys. Wow. himself don yo will knock me over with a phone book the don kennedy's wow uh yeah yeah so what was the origin story of that wasn't it just that like they had a bunch of oh no i'm thinking of a different thing actually fair enough but they were were they existing characters that yeah space ghost already existed before how long when the Space Ghost What's Space Ghost's origin They look Hanna-Barbera as fuck

All the characters I'm getting in my ear We're elevating our show now To a first rate podcast I'll just speak out loud And Miles I'm learning right now That I was thinking of C-Lab 2021

Very common mistake. Yeah. Very common mistake. I used to watch all those old cartoons when Cartoon Network used to do those old blocks of Johnny Quest and all that stuff. I loved those. Yeah. O.G. Adult Swim.

That shit was dope. Yes. Wasn't Johnny Quest's homeboy named Haji? I think so. We'll find out. We'll find out in moments in our ear. In the meantime what is something

you think is overrated you know I know this is probably well tried water especially here but it's I just experienced it

for myself the Joker is very overrated wow yeah wow we have people come in and it's calling it art we have people calling it fart

I think that this thing has many well it's like a thing that many people bring all their perspective I think that Joaquin did an amazing job, but I also think that entire movie could have take place in 11 minutes within a larger movie. Oh, interesting.

It could just... So what? Is it the... No, I don't want to say. Okay. But I just didn't... I just kept watching a lot of it being like, my number one thing in any story or movie or podcast or whatever, I'm like, do i care about these people and i never cared i didn't care about anyone who was victimized i

didn't care about there's one person that i won't give anything away that i was like oh i hope nothing happens to them right but they're right i think i know you're talking yeah but that's it and that's not who the movie's about that's one scene right yeah so i just never cared i'm like i don't care right and the timeline seems so weird here's my larger question is this part of the dc eu or whatever it is i mean they definitely had dc european yeah like yeah like my mind that's immediately i thought of like hmm i never thought the dc un yeah exactly you know uh it's the del close marathon actually yeah it is uh is it like so like is walking gonna be in the next i doubt they'll get him for it i feel like this was just a one like we just wanted to tell this story but i mean they do it had more uh setting up of the

universe like universe building than i even expected because i thought it was like a one-off sort of a riff on like the next one is 15 years later yeah so that batman could be around at his first days of going at it right yeah i guess it would be it would be strange yeah i enjoyed it but i yeah i i get the the critiques and i'm not i'm not I didn't go into it. I would love to like it. You guys know me. I'm not grinding for negativity. Literally what you said, I love to like. Yeah.

I think with some, the DVK ethos up. Yeah, I'm not here to hate at all. Love to love to love you. So yeah, that's my overrated. What is a myth? What's something people think is true, you know to be false. I don't know if we've talked about this. I hope not.

The cats at Disneyland? The cats at Disneyland? Yes. I don't know if we have talked about it. What do you mean the cats at Disneyland? You know about the cats at Disneyland. People would like these cats. Yo, have you seen the cats at Disneyland?

The hordes of cats who live at Disneyland and come out at night. Feral cats. There are cats that live at Disneyland? Yes. That's where the play Cats is set. I know the myth thing, but it's a myth to a lot of people, but it's real. There are cats that live in Disneyland? Yes. That's where the play Cats is set. I know the myth thing, but it's a myth to a lot of people, but it's real. There are cats at Disneyland. And that's how they keep all the rodents and everything out of there.

And they roam the park at night. Not Mickey, though. No, not Mickey. They don't keep that room. Can you imagine seeing that shit? Before the park opens, they run off. They have their own area. Because they already know.

You'll catch one. Right, because they're actual feral. Because they're like, I'm not trying to be fucking around for this shit to be fucking no every once while you'll see one that just kind of stayed and they'll be like in a bush and they'll just stay there all day but you think like wouldn't they be also eating people like if they are feeding the cats like if they see a cat then the cats have little habits of like eating i don't know what this but some people say they heard them they know to go at like 6 a.m every to an area, and then they'll come back at night. Maybe they train them with really great treats at that place.

It wouldn't be that hard. All-you-can-eat buffet. You've never heard about the Cats at Disney. I don't know a lot. That's okay, man. But no, this is news to me. Yeah, the Cats at Disney. The only things I know is Club 33.

That's like the closest thing. Have you been yet? No, but I know two people. I just find out I have a line that I could get to go. I found, so yeah, I know somebody who knows somebody who got them in, but the hookup wasn't strong enough for them to be like, hey, can we go another level? I barely know them, so there's no way it's happening. Do you want to go?

I don't know. Yeah, sure. Jack, do you want to go to Club 33? Why not? Oh, hell yeah. Are you guys Disney? I love Disney. What do you think the most prestigious invite only parties?

Club 33. I feel like Magic Castle is like three steps below. Magic Castle is like trying to get into a fucking discovery zone. Doesn't it feel like in the last 10 years it's become so easy to get into Magic Castle?

In the last 10 years they've really... I to get into Magic Castle yeah in the last 10 years they've really but good for that I mean it's awesome I love it I had the luck of a friend of mine who I've known

since like preschool their father was like a founding performer at their so like my homies would act wild out of pocket in there yeah

like not like immoral or whatever just be like get sad drunk sometimes and other times people be like you should stop serving but like the reverence they treat them with like we're gonna give you a ride home I'm like dude what the whatever right just be like get sad drunk sometimes and other times people be like you

should stop serving but like the reverence they treat them with like we're gonna give you a ride home i'm like dude what the this is like the one bar they drive you home rather than like don't get the fuck out but yeah uh yeah so i'm a disney guy but but well i do know is it i know that same thing that you have to be invited like by somebody 33 yeah yes but that that pool of people is even much smaller right like and also i know like some of the the drawings are like they move and shit inside there and i know it's one of the few places has like a full-on full alcohol bar in disneyland and there's like i don't think i'm wrong there's some sort of so many super disney hive people who listen to show already know i think there's some sort of super hookup where you can they've converted walt's old office like

you can sleep in the park like there's a suite oh yeah the cinderella's uh cinderella's suite is it next to walt's office no i think it's in the uh in the magic castle okay there is like a there's also something about walt's, and I can't remember what it is. Well, his office used to be on Main Street. Yeah, I know. Disney Main Street. Well, Zeitgang, if you're the Club 33 hookup. Oh, come on.

Let us know. Oh, wow. If you want to pull up with some legends, okay. I walked up to Club 33 and just said Fidelio. What happened? What happened? What happened? No. Yeah.

Show them your taser burn you got. Right on his ribs. Eyes wide shut. Wait, was Fidelio a thing? Where's that from? That's an eyes wide shut password. Oh, shit. That they use for the sex party.

Wow, we were just talking about eyes wide shut yesterday. Eyes wide shut is having a moment. Very much. A resurgence. Yeah. Now that we know that rich people really do that shit except far far worse

let's talk about the new AirPods I've spoken on this podcast about how I think the AirPod is the best thing that Apple's made since the iPhone the original iPhone do you have the most current edition right now? of the AirPods?

I don't know I think it's Gen 1 the iPhone, the original iPhone. Do you have the most current edition right now? Of the AirPods? Yes. I don't know. I think it's Gen 1. Yeah, I think I have Gen 1 too. Mine have been going out. I mean, I almost bought the new, the Pros, but then I saw this today when we got here about the Pro Pros. Pro Pro. With that sound canceling. Can you imagine

the worst thing with Apple is when you bought something a week ago. Right. Oh, yeah. And then you're like, what? I know. The fuck are you saying? Although, I think they've kind of gotten to a pattern where they let us know every, like, September, October, what's new. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Apple season. So that should be kind of, at this point, it's going to more and more be on us for being like, if you get near the fall, wait. Yeah, you know something's going to happen. Right, yeah. Do you think they do that because it's apple picking season? They specifically do that? That's all right.

That's solid. Wow. I actually don't know if it is. For all my apple farmers out there. That is, right? Yes. They're in season right now. Yeah, babe. Because I was at a farmer's market and they were forcing me to eat them because they're

in season. I'm like, okay, sir. Yeah. My favorite apple is Honeycrisp. I was going to ask. The organic Honeycrisp was like, usually they're hard to find. And Ralph's was giving them away basically they were just like take these off our hands like it was just like full like in the parking lot you didn't have to get in the store like hi sir please

rolling out the doors we take these bags so i don't i don't know if they just misjudged the the demand or something you know i'm fuji didn't go gang all day. That's yours? Yeah, I love Fuji. I'll rock a granny. Yeah? Granny's, ooh. Wow. You like a little, mmm.

Little tang. Little tang. Yeah, okay. See, this is, Daniel, see, he likes balance and everything. Right. He's like,

I can't have too sweet. Gotta have sweet with the sour. You also can't enjoy the one without the other. Come on, man. You need something to play off of. As somebody who is podless,

I don't know, because, I don't know. He walks around with one of those As somebody who is Pod-less Why? I don't know Because I don't know He walks around with one of those Like Bluetooth speakers On his shoulder Yeah And just like

I created a sick shoulder strap I could rest it like a parrot Do you know my move For people like that? I have one move I started doing that You rocked a Bluetooth speaker? So I went six and a half years

In LA without a car Right So I was riding the Metro Yeah Blasting the Bluetooth And people would sit down Next to me So I went six and a half years in LA without a car. So I was riding the Metro a lot. The Metro, blasting the Bluetooth. And people would sit down next to me with their music, right? And annoyingly loud, okay?

This is the best move. It never failed me. You just go, hey, hey, hey, hey. And they're like, yeah. You go, who is this? What? What's the name of this song? And they will nine times out of ten get up and leave

because they don't like that your talk like oh really yeah because they it's almost like i want everyone to know i'm listening to but i don't want to have a conversation a conversation about trying to find common ground but i'm like you put it into my world hey this is a byproduct of this i love what you're playing what is this what do you call that like put a little too much on it yeah like a little english on your voice what is this since you've anointed yourself the dj of this subway car why don't you do your job this is good a little detail wow so so do you have any biographical detail about that artist it sounds like he's so kanye's gotten real religious huh and literally they'll be like, yeah, whatever. And they'll get up and walk to another car.

And I'm like, well, I love whatever's emanating from this rectangle of yours. So do these bitches love Sosa? Oh, wow. Let me get this straight. Is it true that everywhere he goes, he sees the same hoes? Is that factual? Oh, these hoes love Chief Sosa. Wow.

Love Chief Keef. Oh. So what do we have? Is there anything new besides the fact that they're noise canceling? You tell me, because I don't have them. Because first of all, yes, they're $250. How does that compare to the others? They are?

Yeah. Well, here's the deal. They have noise canceling shit in them now, like full-on noise canceling and, I guess, ventilation. I'm going to get them. Pressure's building up in your ears, adaptable silicone ear tips so they fit in there very well. Sweat and water resistant, Jack.

Do you exercise with your pods? Oh, yeah. I do. And do they... Is that a thing people are like, yo, fam, these aren't ready for prime time? Some people say they don't stay in their ears. Well, if you got big old ear holes, I can see how that works. Yeah.

Mine are fine. Well, see, that's why it comes with three different tips so you can adjust the size appropriately. And then also what it does, so it has the noise canceling, and then there's sensors onto the stems so you can play songs and skip tracks. But I heard you saying like that already,

that this shit already does that. Well, you have to like, on the ones we have, you only can have one command for each thing. So your left ear could be next track. Oh, you program them? Yeah, it's in your settings. You could do next track, and then the other one can be call.

Player pause. Call. Yeah, so you can switch there. But I think in the new ones, they have multiple functions. Plus, if you just say hey siri right it won't do anything but now you can't but now you like series built into these and you can share that's from the most recent generation multiple people could link up to your phone too to listen at the same now that's key because you think about if you're like a couple of friends or a

couple and you're on a flight right headphone spl splitter? No. Right. Yeah. I mean, I do have one. I do have one. Yeah. Because that's... We get it. This is the bondage we're in right now. We have to bring the dual headphone splitter on the airplane while we're in economy. But that's great to know.

I mean, I'm going to buy them. And four and a half hours battery life with noise cancellation. Five without. Seems pretty comparable to what they currently are, right? Four and a half hours? Yeah. Mine are mine are also it's also saying battery life is like the one of the best things about the airpods is that they last for a long time and then charge supercharger thing with you right and they charge like 15 minutes right well he's always doing jack's always alternating he never has you go one and one i can't live that life he's all because

he's just got to keep it going bro he has to have the sounds coming in constantly yeah i can't do it because when i first started thinking and you know the first time i saw you the first time i saw you wearing one i was like how come you don't rock tune like that way when this one runs out i charge the other one and it's an endless cycle and i'm not relying on stereo sound that's right but also i don't you you have to adjust the volume of your phone. You can't just do a gesture. That's like in this write-up. They're like, you'll still need to pull out your phone or iPad or whatever

to get the volume. That's what my watch is for, baby. Oh, shit. Then I just do the volume from there. Wow. Damn. See, and then you have to almost be living in the full-on Apple matrix. I wonder if they should create that, that you would just touch the pod and then scroll up or scroll down,

and it should be able to read that movement. Well, I guess there's such a thin bit of available infrastructure on the stem for you to view this. But if Siri's built in, couldn't you just say, Siri, volume up? Yeah, maybe you can. But again, these are all questions from a pod-less man in a pod-filled world. Would you want them? Yeah. Well, see, the only time I really get into my headphones

is for when I listen to music. And so it's different. Like AirPods to me are like a day-to-day thing. Like I have these fucking blue headphones that are made by that microphone company that have these amplifiers in them that will blow your fucking skull off. Okay.

And I like that. And I have these Sony ones I use for the airplane because i use the air canceling to just drown out the sound so i can sleep but if this is kind of splitting the difference maybe but i already i've already spent a lot of money on everything yeah but christmas time baby i know but even then i might get you i'll just well i usually ask my partner her majesty i'm like you'll give me an arsenal jersey or give me like some kind of like a pack of Dutch master blunts. Maybe the Zeitgang will team up and get you a nice gift.

No, no, they don't need to do that. They just need to come to our live shows coming soon. That's how you can respect and honor us. To a theater near you. I can afford my own AirPods. All right. And we're going to do a little something different this time. Instead of disappearing into that black void we usually disappear into during ad breaks,

was deputy uh bolton's deputy right right so and another person believed to be on the on the call right uh but yeah so he's he's somebody who might have eyewitness testimony to some of the things they're trying to corroborate. Yeah. But a lot of silliness or a little bit of silliness. Rudy butt dialed a journalist. Yeah. NBC's Rich Shapiro leaving a three minute voicemail.

And he, again, just listen to it because it's such a fucking voicemail. That's clearly how the fuck his name comes up for him to be butt dialed in the middle of this conversation unknown but some interesting details in there but nothing really actionable Robert is who he is leaving a voicemail we need some money we need a few hundred thousand anyway We need a few hundred thousand.

Anyway, that goes on into some other shit that is like unintelligible. But I mean. I mean, that sounds guilty. Yeah. You just know. What the fuck do you have to do with Bahrain? Right. Who the fuck is Robert?

Is Robert who he called and left the message for? No, no. He said, you got to find Robert. Okay. It's some guy that people have been trying to figure out who that guy may be. It could be someone who is representing that Iranian business person that Trump was trying to get off the hook. Could be anybody.

Who knows? Robert is such a common name. My question is, when you guys get butt dialed, do you listen to the whole thing? Oh, fuck yes. You do? You go minutes in? No, minutes in. minutes in with every passing second i feel worse yeah like i'm like i they don't want me to hear anything even if they're

just talking about their favorite cake which i would love to have the conversation with them about that because i'm a pie guy yeah but but i don't i when the whole thing tempting man it's a window into a world that you but they always say you deserve to find whatever you go looking for. And so if you're being like, well, maybe they talk shit about me and you keep listening and then they do, that's kind of on you

because you went looking for... But I like that because then on the follow, I can hear you, motherfuckers! I can hear you. And then they don't hear you. I mean, he's gone far from this, but one of my favorite Kanye songs

of all time is The Blame Game. Remember the end with Chris Rock? He's like, I heard the whole's like i heard the whole thing yeah right and then uh yeezy taught me but i mean come on i miss those days of kanye but that's my thing is like how do you listen to the whole thing now you have an you're you're you're a journalist i'm not you not Oh, you've been talking about Rich Shapiro. So you're like, well, I've got to see what the universe has given me here. Like he should. But in our own personal lives, I just really want to know,

do you guys listen to the whole dial voicemail? If it's somebody who I suspect might be talking shit, then I want the receipts. You do? Yeah. Absolutely. I don't know. Because then I can confirm.

But then you would? Yeah. Oh, okay, good. Because I'm like, what's good? like what's good then that's i'm like what you're talking about that shit what's up yeah but that's not common for me because i don't operate in a lot but typically it's not common because you're beloved thank you people don't talk shit uh yeah i'm thank you if i'm a chicago mc i'm common you you would listen to all of them i don't listen to all of them but i have listened you know when I do listen? When my mom does it. Because there's always some dumb shit going on.

She's talking to her. Talking to her friends and shit. And part of me is kind of like, she'll be with her Japanese friends or something. I'll be listening. And then it's kind of nostalgic to hear them talk about whatever their old lady drama is. And I'm like, I don't know what Yuko did. And I don't care what she did. Right.

But they seem to think she's doing the most. I love when it's a person alone in their car. Right. And so you get big wafts of silence. And then everyone's going to be like, everyone's going to be like, love is a bad idea. I don't know what I've been getting me.

And then you get one, so you get like a, what? Don't do that. Now I've got a, you just keep hearing half thoughts. That's like steering wheel drumming. Yeah, exactly.

I need milk. Say it out loud so you don't forget, Sharon. I need milk. Have you ever been caught butt dialing and said something? No, the worst is usually me firing off the text to the person I'm talking shit about. You've done that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But never anything bad.

It was like when I worked at the coat store and manager like texted me and then i was telling my friends i'm like nah it's all good i told him i was sick see i've done that they're like can you come in and i'm like yep see i've done that as a joke like let's say you have invited me out for like dinner or whatever right and then as a joke i would text you and be like should be out of here soon i knew i wouldn't have a good time with miles i said it to you on purpose right sure sure sure uh quick side note if that was from you to me i would laugh because i would know you're doing a quick side note proper credit tig notaro the best text joke you can do to anyone i hope the zeitgang takes this and puts it into their life. She's so funny. Randomly text

one of your closest friends at around 2.15 on any weekday and the only thing you send is, well, everyone else is here, so we're going to get a table. And then don't respond to anything you get. 2.15 in the afternoon?

Yeah, just in the middle of an afternoon, if you guys got a text where someone just said, well, everybody else is here, so we're going to get a table. Wouldn't you just start sweating? Where am I supposed to be? Who's everybody else? Well, right now, because we're very busy, it's very possible. I'd be like, are we supposed to?

Fuck. Imagine that feeling. And then you panic dial the fuck out of that person. And they donate? I start going through my calendar, emails, like oh i've done it i'll just start type like i've had where it did happen to be and i just started email text everything i just searched whatever day it was like wednesday i'm like wednesday just see what comes up that said thank god sorry for that sorry for that side rail a recurring night so okay but yeah we all listen

on some level but back to giuliani this isn't even the first time he's done it. Like a bunch of other journalists in the thread were like, yo, he butt dialed me like a couple years ago talking about this, this, that, and the other. This same journalist was like, dude, this wasn't even the first time he butt dialed me like in the last two months. So you know what that means? His screen doesn't time out. Right.

I mean, that's what that has to mean. If you're doing that all the time. Or you just leave it on because you know the touch screen like i've been burned a few times where but i only noticed when i have my headphones in where it being in my pocket like my thigh was touching or pausing or skipping and shit you gotta go screen out in that pocket yeah exactly turn the screen away from your thigh so there's no heat right or whatever the feedback is for that screen and i feel like he's just kind of one of these dudes who's like, the phone's done, the screen can be bright on, just slaps it right in.

Starts doing the stanky leg or some shit. Stanky leg? It's like, yeah, I'm dialing the whole process. I want that, Jeff. John Kelly has helpfully let us know that he saw all this shit coming. Apparently he said uh this is a direct quote i said whatever you do and we are still in the process of trying to find someone to take my

place i said whatever you do don't hire a yes man someone who won't tell you the truth don't do that because if you do i believe you will be impeached that's what he told trump that's what his way out that's what he's claiming he told Trump on his way out. Claiming. But it's a... Whether he said that out loud or in his head after saying like, very good idea, Mr. President.

Right. Exactly. He's like, don't get a yes man. And White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said... Dude, amazing. I worked with John Kelly and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great president.

Shut up. Which is, that's the reason that I care about this. That's who's around him. Qualitatively, it is so, like, just something straight out of North Korea. Like, that is the clearest, most... I don't know. He's saying this person is a mental lightweight and this fool's ideas are so flamed.

Also, isn't this coming from a press secretary who doesn't hold press conferences? Cannot handle the smoke show. Doesn't want anything to do with anybody. Will not entertain it. Just likes to yell shit from the background. But other people are ill-equipped. not the person who can't do their job yeah right well because again because this has been the strategy right it's john kelly was trying to be the the adult in the room who

longed for the days of the antebellum south um and then there was a saying don't have a yes man and you have mick mulvaney whose whole style is I'm going to let Trump do Trump. And cut to what John Kelly was saying was going to happen. Yeah, we're here. But it is tough when you think that it's so aggressive. Almost Stephanie Grisham's words are what Trump – she knows Trump so well. She's like, I know how to please him. This is what I'm going to say.

I can't – he couldn't. I've been with him. He's not equipped to handle these ideas. Okay. But I don't know. With comedy, do you ever keep people around who, or do you know people who you appreciate who would be like, yo, Daniel, Jack, that joke was whack as fuck. That's the best thing when somebody's like, I don't know if that's working. That doesn't seem like you.

That's not in your voice or that's not true. That's what you want. I've been around people in this town who surround themselves with sycophants. Right. And it's like, it's weird. It's so weird. Also, you know, the Elton John story to bring it back to our boy, El. There's that old story.

Maybe this is a myth, but I've heard it a lot. He felt like he didn't trust anybody around him. So one day, like on tour, he got up. It was like raining horribly. And he said to all of his people, like, isn't trust anybody around him so one day like on tour he got up it was like raining horribly and he said to all of his people like isn't it a gorgeous day it's just so beautiful and sunny out and no one looked up or looked out the window they were like yeah you're completely right and he fired everyone yeah yeah totally totally yeah yeah yeah it's so beautiful like there hasn't been a day that's beautiful in 700. Yeah, yeah. So, no, I mean, that's the thing you want. Yeah, no, absolutely.

Don't you want? Oh, yeah. Presidents are judged by the choices they make, and the choices they make are informed by the people they surround them. So, like, Barack went from running the fucking Harvard Law Review or whatever to, like, president because he was great at surrounding himself with people and then knowing when to and when not to listen to those people. So he knew Axelrod.

Like, they didn't agree on everything. JFK surrounded himself with people during the 13 days of the Bay of Pigs because that's how he's going to make – that's what you're judged by. Yeah, you've got to see every angle. Who I'll admit, in the early days, I was like, I don't know. The guy is a war hero. I didn't know everything I know now. But when he nominated Sarah Palinin i'm like all right that's who he surrounded himself with people who told him this is what you should do and he listened to

those people so that's it you are a product of the voices you listen to yes absolutely and so trump doesn't fucking there's only one voice bro that matters it's his own right and unless but the voices that he'll listen to they better be saying some shit he wants to hear right and i think that's the problem, right? Because as a president, right, it's not like he's treating it as the president. He's like, well, we get the ball now. It's our ball. We have the White House and we have all the power.

And that's what it's about. Rather than like, I have to run a fucking country. I have to run a whole thing. Right. He's running a company. No one has to fucking like you or agree with you. You don't have to worry about anybody's opinion because you run the company. When you're a country, you have to worry about anybody's opinion because you run the company. When you're a country,

you have to give in to popular opinion. And poorly, right now, he has enough people who make him feel like his opinion is popular. But did you guys watch, you watched season two of Succession, right? I'm done, Jack. I was just starting to dip his toe in. Okay, well, I won't give anything away.

But a role that comes into that is how Logan has to deal with shareholders. And you see this this exact parallel of a person who's been always just like fuck you i do what i want and then once that becomes threatened by public opinion that informs the choices that are made so this is a person who's run a whole his whole life being like fuck you i'll do what i want yeah and now there's public opinion and the more we can sway that the better i. I'm just not very hopeful. Yeah, because also his personality attracts other people who are going to be sycophants,

and then he's always going to be dealing with an incomplete set of facts because people are only going to tell him the things they think he wants to hear rather than, you know, but this is, you know, this is what it is right now. Well, speaking of the weekend that the president had so over the weekend trump announced the successful military operation that led to the death of isis leader abu bakar al

baghdadi it was after a two-hour nighttime raid uh ended with baghdadi blowing himself up uh with an explosive device once he was cornered by U.S. Special Forces. Trump then came out, made a statement, talked about, like, really just— I mean, just listen to it. It's, again, yeah, Trump. Died like a dog. He died like a coward. He was whimpering, screaming, and crying. And frankly, I think it's something that should be brought out so that his followers and all of these young kids

that want to leave various countries, including the United States, they should see how he died. He didn't die a hero. He died a coward. Crying, whimpering, screaming, and bringing three kids with him to die. A certain death. Wow. It's good to hear that trump cares so much about kids and their well-being right yeah i just the idea right like you can the whatever he's projecting onto this like the cruelty i i get it obviously al baghdad he's been done some terrible shit agreed but like from his place as the commander in chief, like of, I don't know what, I don't

know what he's going through right now where he's like, yeah, he died like a coward. And that was it. It was like, he was crying. I'm okay with he died like a coward. Yeah. I don't mind that. But it's, it's this whole other thing. Like you, it's not even like what it is.

You can just feel the energy of it. There's something, there's just something different. And you could be a little diplomatic about it, whatever, you but there's also this i think the other part too is underneath it he was probably also still comparing himself to obama so he probably wanted to make this sort of get of getting uh like a the leader of a terrorist organization i would love to hear that way better right i would love to hear Barack's announcement about how Osama bin Laden died. Do you remember that shit? It was very just matter of fact. In my experience.

Don't spike the football. In my experience of friends who had been in the military, they don't revel much in the belittling of their opponent's death. Right. They are glad to have like completed their mission and survived and ended that threat,

but it's, you don't hear a lot of like, like getting off. And then here's what that little bitch did. Like, it's not much of that. It's more of like, I did what I had to do.

And I think that's the difference of perspective, right? Cause Trump was treating, he said it looked like a movie. He was like, we were all watching. It was like a movie. They came in in the middle of the night.

Is it too? First of all, this dude gave up so many details about it a lot of the military brass were like fam like shut the fuck up you don't need to give all this tactical detail about you know what so my cousin's a fireman and he tells me that there's this thing in fire departments across the country probably in the world where they're called uh going hard in the yard and it's these guys who uh't, maybe they're a volunteer, and they serve a purpose, but they're not in the fucking thick of it doing it. Right, right, right. And so when you're in the house just dealing with getting people out

and fighting this fire, there's these other guys who haven't really been, no pun intended, like in the flames, and they're going very hard in the yard. Right, right, right. And so Trump.ating who avoided military hasn't done any of this stuff. Hasn't put his life on the line. It's very, he's going very hard in the safety of the yard. Yep.

Yeah. It's all about execution. I mean, I think there is some validity to the point about like, you want to make it clear that this guy didn't die a hero that he to make it difficult for uh people to glorify him in death but having the president like the symbol uh the human embodiment of american like power out there saying like that he died like a dog is just so like that it's basically like the presidential statement version of abu grab abu grape like it's just so over the top

that like you are basically undoing what you're trying to do which is like make it harder for isis to recruit people by like going out and uh giving them like a great piece of video that I'm sure they'll be showing to anybody they've been talking about well because I think for him this is like he I probably really feels that his moment has finally come this is his like foreign policy victory right he has been well if he if he ended the bin Laden threat I'm the one who ended the ISIS threat but the irony right is that all the shit that he's been against are the things that helped made this raid successful, right? That we needed a military presence in Syria to even know about this. We needed to be aligned with the Kurds for them to be able to get some of this information to us.

We fucking, we needed intelligence, the intelligence community also. Oh, you mean the people that he completely disagrees yeah and it's like and it's just so cringy because then you see that photo that they took right of like the situation room and it's like this really just austere this dark photo of like everybody at a table looking at the camera because i think he wanted his version of like the obama situation room photo which was a real photo um Not to say that this wasn't an actual photo, but like not at the time, like the events weren't unfolding at the time of this photo

is what many people suspect because there's also reporting that Trump was literally out golfing when the actual mission, the raid was happening. And then probably was like, hold up, we need to get this photo. Why don't you put some loose ethernet cables all over this desk so it looks like some shit's going on. And you can Why don't you put some loose Ethernet cables all over this desk

so it looks like some shit's going on. And you can tell, like, the two generals next to him are just like, they, I don't know, they feel like, what is this? Like, what is this photo for? Because we're trying to do something, but you need your photo op. And, you know, there's a, there's, it's funny how there's always, like, this little bit of Obama envy and everything still to like he needed his photo. Yeah, it was like that was his same moment where he's like mean mugging the camera.

Yeah. And I mean, I think the World Series moment was, I think, related to this because I think he went to a World Series game. I think he went to a World Series game. This is the first public appearance at a sporting event that he's done since he was elected. And there's video where he's announced and there's just a massive wave of boos. And the emotional journey is so naked and undisguisable like on his face he goes from uh you know the projection of presidential that i feel like he practices in the mirror uh during executive time to just like it like you can almost see the wind being knocked out of him 100 and uh well because you think about it how often does he do events that aren't filled with people who love the emperor's new clothes?

Yeah. Right. Because even he just did that historically black college this weekend or late last week. And they, they thought this would be an opportunity for him to kind of pitch who he is more than what you see to like, and what was it? Like 12 students were allowed in. Yeah. And the rest of people were told like,

yo, you know, you can skip that shit. And yeah. And so it was just all, so I was, that was my takeaway from this moment of how many times has he been put out with,

well, right. Like when is he come down from the red keep into a flea bottom and like, right. And see how people are living. Yeah. And how they feel about about uh well that's the thing about these people when you have these kinds of frat for like really

fragile egos you have to handle your whole shit with in cotton wool yeah and you got to go to you only time you go out in public is with my people right and fucking maga hive out there yeah and you know the sequence of events is ladies and gentlemen the president tonight is the president of the united states america he was like they're screaming this time it was the same sequence right and his mind went through like you're saying jack the same process ladies and gentlemen the president and the first lady of the united states of america and he knew when when that when he hears the announcer all right let me fucking pop my chest out they're gonna love me and it was and even a little bit of this

so it was i mean you can tell like you say that journey he goes on to there's a subreddit called watch people die inside this is the top of that subreddit yeah because motherfucker his face just literally go oh and even Melania's like... Right, goes from smiling to... But I get, I mean, I get the shock because you've been protecting yourself by only being in front of crowds that are just, think the exact same way as you do.

And anyone who speaks out gets fucking punched or thrown out or arrested or whatever. And so... Like, the lengths they go to, to protect him from the public opinion and that he goes to, to protect himself from the reality of that situation, I think is, uh, for a reason, you know, he, that, that matters to him. Like the reason he always talks about the New York times being unfair to him and like being fake news is because the New Right. greeted like, you know, like a president, like people were super excited that he was there. And so for this to be like this moment of like right after his big victory in this moment of

humiliation, it almost felt like, you know, as a narcissist, like he, like everything is built up to convince him that like, you know, he is greater than other people. And this almost, it almost felt like you were witnessing somebody's recurring nightmare, like happen in front of them. Yeah. So do you think to see it in the remainder of his presidency, he goes to another public sporting event?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Cause you know, it'd be different,

right? Like it's hard in his mind. Like this is neutral. He's like, it, no, no, no. Because, you know, it'd be different, right? Like, it's hard. In his mind, like, this is neutral. He's like, it's D.C., it's people from Houston, it's baseball, America's sport.

I could see him going to the Daytona 500. Right. It would have to be something very narrow like that where you knew demographically you're probably dealing with favorable odds of who's going to make up

the crowd there. But I think... But you know what his attitude is? It's just like, you both just reacted. Why would he? Right. What's the point make up the crowd there. But I think- But you know what his attitude is? Just like you both just reacted. Why would he? Right. What's the point? Doesn't get to.

Right. Even because the chance, right? Every little bit of- Isn't there a theory that he might not even debate? Yeah. That, yeah, that it's possible that he might not want any kind of- Because if he's got close enough numbers, which are going to be way closer than they were in 2016-

Right. They'd be like, don't. in 2016 right they'd be like don't right yeah just don't just don't you literally have nothing to gain by by debating yeah right and everything to lose and well who knows if someone's smart enough they can frame it in a way let's pit his ego against him and be like yeah because he's like so shook the king of the boardroom can't come to a meeting like oh weird uh and just to kind of show the conflict between the trump's the bubble that trump usually lives inside and the reality of the sporting event uh fox news's coverage i immediately wanted to see how they were covering

this uh and they had a you know normal headline that uh crowd boos and yells lock him up uh opening line the partisan washington nationals crowd was not pleased when President Donald Trump was shown on the board. Partisan. So the normal people who attend a Trump rally are not partisan. Right. These are the general public. People who went to a World Series game five. Right.

By the way, baseball fans are notoriously elderly white guys. Yeah, demographically it's only trending one direction. The average age of the Major League Baseball fans is 46. At least. And it's like one of the few sports where participation from African Americans has been decreasing. Oh, big time. There's a huge

initiative to try and get African Americans back into baseball. Yeah, right. So I'm like, in a way, I'm like, this might I don't know, because clearly, look, yeah, you're not going to an NBA game. We get that. We already know that. But like baseball, I could see how in his mind, like, you know, the right kind of people are there. And then in the comments, Fox News viewers were speculating that,

how many of you want to bet that there were paid activists in the crowd? Shut up. Sounds like they dubbed in the boos to try to spin their fake news. Wait, hold on. Kind of like when they pumped in booze for Bush and Katrina at the Saints game. Okay. What network is the World Series on? I'll tell you in case you don't know, Zyke Gang.

Fox. So why would Fox pump in? They have their two greatest commodities, their sports, their sports and their president. Right. This is what they probably make the most money off of as a conglomerate. Yeah. Yeah. But that shows you the unwillingness to even fathom.

But also just generally you would think even as a sober eyed, well, there's no such thing as a sober eyed Trump fan, but like someone who supports the president knows there are people out there who literally just don't like the president also right like he's not gonna pay people to not like him you i'm sure they understand the forces that work told people he's coming do you guys want to come boo yeah sure i'll pay for my own gas oh he'll be there can i buy a ticket so i can boo him some people probably would have said it was worth 350 standing room room only to boo the president to his face. The people in the upper deck who were booing down into the box where he was at looked like... I saw one face that looked very enthusiastic.

Like some person was like, man, this is worth the ticket. I tweeted this out months ago. I go, sometimes I daydream about being within earshot of anyone in this administration. Do you matter if you just had the opportunity? Not to like have an altercation, but just say something you knew that they would hear something you said. Or very calm, like,

hey man, I think you're a racist coward and everything you're doing is actually destroying the country and you should be fucking ashamed. Did you want to start out with any appetizers or drinks? How are we feeling here? Oh no, we're not kicking you out. No, no, no, we're not kicking you out.

I hope you have a great meal. I just want you to know you are a horrible person, but did you still need a Diet Coke refill on the diet coke and you said you needed more some butter for your moons over my hammy right you don't need more straws uh all right you're using way too many napkins uh way too many napkins all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria.

Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history.

Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.?

I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available 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 the prints. 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.

Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right. And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach.

That's my husband. Daphne Spring, Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan J., and more. You got to watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what?

Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 then 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. podcast and we're back and it's time to talk about gender reveal parties because uh we had a terrible tragedy occur in iowa over the weekend when a partygoer was killed at a gender reveal party

gone horribly wrong uh i guess can i say that my laugh was because i thought we were going to talk about the one where the guy couldn't hit the baseball? No. I did not know we were going to talk about this one. Well, this is what's weird. That's me not playing along. No, no. I totally understand. Look, we know your brand name. Right. You'll love to like. Okay. But this, unfortunately, so this woman, she was 56 years old.

She was a guest at this party. But for whatever reason, the gender-real announcement created an explosion and a piece of debris struck and killed this woman oh she was she was pronounced dead on the scene like in one sense at first like when i saw the headline i was thinking like maybe some over zealous person died at their own the hands of their own city which would also be a tragedy because honestly you don't want a child growing up without a parent but right in that version i'm you can be like a darwin award but this is like when you see some

innocent person who's there to celebrate your motherfucking family yeah and they're killed at the hands of your own stupidity and carelessness again i don't know what again they don't even know what exactly happened but i have a feeling it's not that a couple of balloons that were filled with helium went the wrong way. Yeah. Probably trying to do something. Why would you pack anything? That's going to explode. I don't know.

Anything with the explosive capability is not good for a party that you're announcing the gender of a child. This is also gender as a construct. So just right. First of all, gender is a construct. Second of all, like this is an invented thing. This is a thing that is wholly from the past, what, four years, five years?

I don't know, because I remember, or not, you know, back in the 60s, Jack, when we were doing gender. I just thought in my mind, you just knew people would be like, it's a baby shower. And part of it was like, it's a boy, it's a girl. Yeah, but these are the ones where the parents don't know. Right. Right. So that's what I'm saying the parents don't know. Right. Right. So that's what I'm saying. I don't know why they gamified. So you have someone in your family find out. And then I brought this up, but a year ago, you know, we had the 47,000 acre wildfire

due to a gender reveal party. Yeah. Right. Right. Because the guy put Tannerite next to like, and then it just blew up. And I think he worked for Border Patrol or something like that. Yeah, it was something absurd like that. Oh, I didn't realize that

yes okay so another so he was like oh I'll do it out here where I work and then set 47,000 acres on fire to show the world

he was gonna have a boy right that's not great yeah yeah but I don't know what the fuck is the gender reveal

replacing or what I'm trying to figure out what's the gap we're filling with being like how do we show the fuck out so i think this is the stuff gender of this child i think that social media has made us all lonelier you know like made us more isolated from one another and just like being on our phones constantly has made us more isolated in like an interpersonal sense and so uh you know having a gender reveal party at least you know it's a way to bring people together while also having like the most grammable of

events uh it seems like it's like specifically designed to for instagram um so i i don't know like i don't well it's so sensational right because it's meant to bring as much attention onto yourself right I'm just trying to like really like think this out where you it's not enough to simply have your loved ones around that I guess at a certain point you need a spectacle that will then reverberate outside of your immediate family or is it within your family you just it within your family you just it's it's purely just your ego where it's like yeah can you believe my sister just like popped a balloon and glitter came out right i think it's just for the gram but also i mean

this is i mean the same thing with weddings right yeah there's a thursday night event then a friday lunch then the rehearsal dinner dinner and then the rehearsal party. And then, yeah. And then there's that, the whole thing on Saturday and then the Sunday brunch. And it's like one, just get an open bar. Right. And a, and a good playlist.

And I guarantee you, we will have an amazing time celebrating the fact that you two think it's going to work. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. It's like we have, I mean,

I mean that in a positive way. Look guys, we can feign enthusiasm for this marriage anywhere. You don't have to spend $23,000 on it. Do you need an ice sculpture? And for what? Yes. Yes and yes. I mean, if it's a shot luge, fine.

So this is a thing. This could happen. We should, at some point when we have more time, try to think of ways in which everything's going to evolve into this because what you took was a moment where you're like how great is that when you find out what you're having right what if you found out in front of everyone else what if you found out and you it's we do it in a way that's like super fun and only one other person knows too oh and only one person will die right yeah but it's like so

what more are we gonna do where it's like oh that's a moment we could make into a big deal it's like we're all turning our lives into reality tv like this is what a reality tv producer would do with your life together is like okay here's a moment that we can turn into like a spectacle do you see like d1 athletes starting to do this with like when they declare decision right now they do just put on a hat but what why are we not having where somebody's like we could do this in a much bigger way why don't you firebomb the school you're not going to like the don't tell anybody kids actually uh asking people to prom is like a new one of these things yeah with their racist ass posters i don't posters. I don't want to begrudge anybody

a new sort of cultural ritual. I just think, you know, don't use... Those levels. Just in general. Maybe the thing we should be calling out is don't use explosives if you don't know what the fuck you're doing.

No, even if you do, let people know, at the very least, let people know, hey, motherfucker, this transgender reveal party, I'm not fucking around. Yeah. I have Semtex that I'm using. if you do let people know at the very least let people know hey motherfucker this fin gender reveal party i'm not fucking around yeah i have sem text that i'm using this shit could blow crater in my backyard right i don't know have you guys seen forged in fire no where they make their

own weapons it's like a competitive show on like history channel or something like that oh my point is this they have to test the weapons and they have a professional person come and test them and that person obviously has like protective gear on when they do it right this is just them striking like a some pig hide yeah with a sword okay the people who made it that are standing 25 feet away they put on safety glasses too and this is for someone a professional person hitting a sword onto a piece of pig so there's no way in these explosive deals that they have taken the precautions that you would need to on any level to be like yeah we're gonna blow this up in the backyard the guy if you've seen the video the guy who can't hit the baseball that's filled with the dust of what

gender they're gonna have um it's that's great yeah that's because him missing it makes it all the more hilarious and he laughs and if he contact, the ball will disintegrate and reveal the dinner. You're not going to hit a frozen rope at someone's head. No one needs to have some little fawn in their life they want. Just like you were saying. I'm not trying to take this away. But think of the other. Evaluate scale and safety when you're doing this.

Right. Yeah. I agree. A homemade device was meant to discharge a colored powder instead of exploding like a pipe bomb is another thing yeah but you know how pipe bombs work you encase them in nails and screw like what did you have around it this is the old thing you ever the fire cracker right you put a firecracker in your hand you leave your hand open set it off you're gonna get burned right you close your hand and set it off you're gonna lose your fingers oh my god family members welded a metal cylinder shut up

melded welded a metal cylinder to a stand and packed it with gunpowder that they thought would send the colored baby powder aloft but they say the tape covering the top caused it to detonate like a pipe bomb all you have to do is go to your damn cross-state line firework store and say, these shoot off. Are they pink or blue? Can I get a blue one? And then just shoot them off. It'll go straight up. It's professionally made. Y'all heard of pneumatic air

cannons? You can use fucking compressed air and achieve the same shit. You can also just read a color off of a piece of paper. Or have someone do LeBron James it. Just take the powder, fuck it up in the air. Yeah, that'd be good. Fine. Pay LeBron to come do it.

I think what's really upsetting about this story is that this person, and a party goer, someone who was there to support y'all, you ended up taking their fucking life because you wanted to fucking play jackass with the fucking gender reveal? Yeah, that's a no-win. Authorities say family members had been experimenting with explosives in the hopes of posting colorful announcements on social media.

I gotta go. Never as a family, never as anything experiment with explosives. Agreed. Let's leave that to manufacturers. Well, shit. DVK, it's been a pleasure having you. Sorry to end on such a down note, man.

That's okay. I feel like we fixed something. Yeah, look, for all y'all out there, use air. Use a CO2 air tank. Why not? Fucking get a hose and have a bunch of homies blow on the other end from very far away. Maybe that bit of air will send the dust out. There you go.

There you go. Yeah. Where can people find you and follow you? Go to at Daniel Van Kirk. That's all social media. Go to DanielVanKirk.com for tour dates. I'm wrapping up my Together tour. So on the 11th of November, I'm going to be in Nashville, Tennessee,

They're so big, they can't fit in the theater. You can't. You're like, there's no way they're going to show. They suffer from gigantism.

They are, and it's going to be amazing to have them there. So Dumb People Town is the podcast. Pen Pals is also the podcast with Rory Scovel. But please pick up Thanks Diane in the iTunes Store app and come see me on the road at Daniel Van Kirk. Do it. Get those cards. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying?

Yes, there is a tweet. I love Halloween. So a tweet that I have right now is from Mark Hamill, at Hamill himself. One of the best family traditions is the carving of a hallowed Halloween jack-o'-lantern. Personally, my favorite is the Wookiee Roars because he's simply one of the warmest, most joyful souls I've ever known. And it's Mark Hamill tweeting out these pumpkins that they made.

Holy shit. Look at that one. Who the fuck made that? And then look at the Joker. A witch, I'll tell you. I'll tell you who. Mark found people on the internet who did these and then like reposted them or that's right or they're from his own i saw people at his house so bad at fucking carving pumpkins like i like i've

for the last two years i've avoided it because i did one of the worst heisenberg oh you did once like years ago the shame i. Look at this. This is in that thread underneath. Somebody did a Harley Quinn and Joker pumpkin. With, like, ha, ha, ha around the... Yeah, it's unreal. So, I love Halloween and stuff like that. It makes me happy. Yeah. Good grief.

Shout out to people who are, like, crafty and shit. I gotta rock. Miles, where can people find you? I might as well just kick my foot through a fucking pumpkin and be like, yeah, that's the face today. Call stomped out pumpkin. Where are me? Me.

Oh, little me. Mr. Miles. Miles of Gray. At Miles of Gray on Twitter and Instagram. Jacket. Wait, why did I say jacket? That's because I was looking at a Reductress tweet that said, at Reductress, puffer jackets that will make you look like a sexy little Michelin man.

I don't know. A lot of these North faces look like that. Rate those restaurants. And then one more from Reductress. Just so stupid. Goddess Alert. This woman listed the moon as her emergency contact. Perfect. Love it.

All right. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. But first, I do want to apologize for something I said in an episode last week. We were talking about Michael Jordan, and I said I thought he was mentally ill and laughed about it. And I just want to apologize and say here very clearly that I definitely didn't intend to stigmatize mental illness. It's a very serious and also very common issue that you should never hesitate to get help with, and it's an issue that needs to be less stigmatized

in our culture in general. So, yeah, I am sorry for that. Some tweets I've been enjoying. At Candy Sanford tweeted, You're not a real New Yorker until you've eaten your lunch on a steel beam during the construction of the Empire State Building. And... I love that

photo. And Louis Vertel tweeted, Joan Crawford and Betty Davis, now that was a star war. Me with my cane yelling at kids with lightsabers. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist. We're at The with lightsabers. That's great. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist.
