Chocolate milk. Yeah. The same people that got milk. They're chocolate brethren. Milk classic. Yes. Milk classic. Le classic.

Le classic de milk. But they always seem like they're local productions, like local ads. Oh, really? Local milk. Yeah. Local chocolate cows. It's just a lower degree of celeb endorsement, but it's still up there. Chocolate milk's still out here making things happen.

Good. It's a diversity we need in the marketplace. Exactly. So, Arjun, how have you been? I've been good. I'm staying, you know, I work from home, so coronavirus has not affected me very strongly. Everyone is freaking out, and I'm like, well, I guess I'll continue not leaving my house. Yeah, that's the move.

Yeah, I've imagined for people who work from home, the idea of, like, people being like, yeah, now I got to work from home. You're like, yeah, is that right? Yeah, it's crazy. And everyone's like, man, working from home is nuts. I'm like, I think it's really normal. I think it's not. I think it's really cool.

Depends on how focused you can be. I might have a brain disease because everybody says working from home is hard, but I like it a lot. I think it depends on how you're wired. Sometimes I'm much better when I have less distractions, but sometimes there are many distractions in my home yes so yes depends on how how here's how i compromise i smoke weed all the time in my home oh there you go while doing work yeah there you go uh yeah i did um i used to work in an office where we had a shared floor and uh we were sharing it with a casting company and they were casting for reality shows. So they would watch self tapes of people who wanted to be on this reality show to like become an apprentice to some lady.

And they would just watch them and like make fun of them and be extremely cruel and then call the people and have a conversation with them. And the whole time I was just like, I can't. I just heard them talk massive shit about you and then they're like, hi. It was the perfect, it was like my show. Right, right. It was my reality show, was watching them cast this reality show for real.

Right, and you got no work done. I got no work done, nothing. They were so loud and they were so mean. Wow, it made me really scared of reality television. Who'd have thought that people behind reality TV would be mean and bad. And manipulative. The purest industry.

Well, Sarge, and we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about today. Not much going on in the news. Slow news day. Yeah. I mean, by the time you hear this, this news, you will be

dead. You will be dead. If you're hearing this, you're dead. No, but the evening of which somebody described as if the song We Didn't Start the Fire happened in a single day, that day will... Actually, let me just start this over. All right. We're going to be talking about the coronavirus. We're going to be talking about why Trump should resign. Another new reason, but maybe the best one yet. We're going to talk about what Democrats are trying to do. We're going to talk about events that the coronavirus has killed, and one event it has not killed,

killed and one event it has not killed and people who have it and one movie that's doing well, 2011's Contagion. We're going to talk about all of that and more, but first, Sarju, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Search history. Recently, I have been very into the legend of the Persian princess. The legend of the Persian princess? The legend of the Persian princess. This is, as you may know if you perhaps live in the UK, but it's not well known here. A few years ago, there was a fake mummy that was found and was said to be a daughter of Xerxes and a descendant of the Ahmedid dynasty.

It was a very big deal because there are no Persian mummies. But it was like, this was a Persian princess who married an Egyptian guy. And then she was sarcophagized and whatever. Is that the one they scanned? Yes. It's the one they scanned. And they were like, this is fake. Right, right.

They're like, oh, this is made of Legos. Well, that was the fucked up thing. It was a real body. Oh, really? It was a real body. It was a real dead lady. But she was from like 1996. I'm going to have to ask you to stop telling this story because we just greenlit it as a true crime podcast.

I'm sorry. And we've already got a new host, so we don't want any friction with the existing host. Yeah, it's pretty great. They don't know who she is. I mean, this is an old thing, but it's something that I was looking up recently. Because I was just looking up the phrase Persian princess to see what comes up. Let me be honest. I was looking it up to see if anybody had released a debut comedy album entitled Persian princess.

And it turns out they haven't, but it is a fake. So can we expect Persian princess with Sarajun? I don't want to get mixed up with this fake mummy. I don't want people to think I'm a fake mummy. Oh, even better album, Fake Mummy. Fake Mummy. Fake ass mummy. Fake ass mummy. But it's like this woman just was, they think she was maybe hit by a car because she had some kind of like broken hip and stuff.

So they were like, well, it seems to be the corpse of a lady who was hit by a car and then somebody took her body and like- Wrapped her in- And took all her organs out and mummified her and made it a prank mummy well yeah they were trying to sell it wow how does that happen are they trying to make it a homicide case yet no it's like two

it's still on the list of unsolved murders yeah yeah like I don't know if she was murdered or if somebody like robbed a grave or whatever but they put her in a fake sarcophagus. They put all these symbols. Egyptian cuneiform was on the outside, and they put all these symbols of Cyrus of Quresh,

the Ahmedan dynasty, to make it look like she was one of the daughters of Xerxes. Damn. And were those artifacts legit? Because you would probably be like, man, this shit looks new. The symbols were correct, but when it was carbon dated, probably be like, man, this shit looks new. The symbols were correct, but when it was carbon dated, it was like, this is not.

Also from 96. Yeah, and also they like, they took her heart out and apparently the Egyptians didn't do that when they mummified. They left the heart in. Classic move. Classic mistake.

Yeah, leave the heart in y'all. Could have told you that. Idiots. What is something you think is underrated? Coronavirus. Honestly, I think coronavirus is heavily underrated. I'm very big into the contagion. You Angeles, it's a busy city. We all lead busy lives. We're online. We're

listening to our podcasts. Getting corona through our podcast. We're getting corona through our podcast. It's a time to say, let's not go out. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting when you look at the countries that contained them very successfully. It would be very hard to replicate that in the United States, like Singapore, for example. They would just pull the plug. Singapore's an authoritarian state. And they have good health care. They took someone's residency away for lying about their quarantine status.

And you're like, OK, so that's what it would take. So that's not happening here. So I guess we should probably prepare for some kind of likely transmission. Italy, it seems like, is probably the closest thing that we're going to get. Yeah. I mean, Italy has actually a better healthcare system than America. Even though their government's constantly falling apart. Right.

They have much better experts on this stuff is like, yeah, so America is going to be similar to Italy in about a week, except far worse health care. It's like, oh, oh, perfect. Oh, OK. So that will be better then? Right. No. There's a lot of like branches to grow.

There's like making sure you don't get it, making sure you don't spread it, and then what to do if you have it. You know, how to get tested sure you don't spread it and then what to do if you have it you know how to get tested to see if you have it and then what to do if you have it and the u.s health care system fails on all of those yeah so like some countries are good at making sure like making sure people get tested yeah and then once they're tested i don't know about their health care you know right but in the u.s it's like i don't know where the fuck to get tested like if i thought I had coronavirus, thank God, knock on plastic, I don't. But if I did, I don't know what the fuck I would do. I wouldn't go to a hospital. I would feel scared to do that because I would be exposed to other people with compromised immune systems.

Right. And you would also probably not be able to get tested at a hospital because the CDC has tested so far this week. Let's see what the counter is at. 77. They've tested 77 people total this week. Sick, sick, sick. So we are flying. It's like 10 a day.

Yeah. That's pretty good. That's good. For a city of millions of people. Right. That's like pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, I did.

I was pretty convinced by this article in The Atlantic by Yasha Mauch called Cancel Everything. And it's in short, it's like cancel everything. There's not a lot I can do about coronavirus. I'm not a health care professional. You know, I'm very lucky. I don't have to interface with the public. But I think I think that all of us who are healthy and can afford to stay home. I think we should just take this like a little Christmas, a little Corona Christmas.

Yeah. Well, yeah, that's like the- Christmas virus. Global sick day. Yeah, we need global sick days. Global sick days. You know what? We're in LA.

If I was in Washington, if I was in Oregon, if I was in California, do that. If I was in like Boise or some shit, I might not be so, you know? But there's cases in the county. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's cases here, yeah oh yeah yeah yeah because there's cases here yeah and you know i think i've talked to people about it it's like i'm not on a fucking

cruise ship you know i mean if i was on a cruise ship i would be very worried but i'm not worried but it's like i'm not worried when i get in a car even though lots of people die in car accidents because i put my seat belt on sure sure sure so i'm not worried now because i don't have coronavirus and i'm not gonna like go out for a while And at worst, you'll get a flu that most people will recover from. Right. Because I think the other part of that, which I think most people are ignoring, like, and if you do get coronavirus, you'll have a flu. Everything we're seeing is quite manageable unless you're in a very specific risk category. So I think, but you see people taking measures as if your eyes will pop out, turn to goo.

Yeah. But I guess it's – but it's frightening either way. I mean what this is highlighting is that the people who are – like the elderly and the immunocompromised are most at risk and they are always at risk. Yeah, right. And they have no fucking resources. So this is like really shining a light on like, oh, our healthcare system completely fails these huge groups of people. Yeah. Like, oh, our health care system completely fails these huge groups of people. Yeah.

And the containment measures that people are taking, as if it'll make your head explode, are probably the right ones to be taking because even if it doesn't kill us, it will kill a lot of elderly people and people who are immunocompromised. So I think what we should take away from this is elderly people should not go out. They should not go to the polls. Right. They should stay home. Stay home. Florida. They should not vote to the polls. They should stay home. They should not vote. They should not vote by mail because you could get coronavirus through that.

Through the door slot. By sending your ballot. For a moderate who will destroy the earth. Yeah, don't do that. For everybody's good to stay alive. Or, you know, the elderly should go vote. Well, they're saying it's going to affect.

Congregate. They're worried about some of the primaries that affecting people because there are a lot of voters who are like, there are poll workers who didn't want to go out. I completely understand that. I wonder what the true knock on effect could be for this next round of primaries. Yeah, it really could go either way in terms of how it could affect the outcome. There's like a Bernie swing because like so many like, I don't know. But like younger people like, fuck that. We. But younger people are like, fuck that. We're going to vote.

Yeah, fuck that. I'm going to vote. I'm fine. I'm healthy. I drink Four Loko. Nothing can kill me. I'll never die. I'm drinking Four Loko out of the ballot box.

Coughing on the screen, everybody touching it to show we're not afraid. Yeah. But it does go back to that thing we always talk about with flu shots, with young people being like, I don't get the flu. I don't give a fuck. It's herd immunity. Yeah, it's herd immunity. Even if you don't get the flu, you can carry the flu, even if it's not symptomatic or very symptomatic.

Use your immune system privilege to help those who are not able to. The least you can do is get a cheap-ass shot. And I love to stay home. Yes, exactly. Just stay home. What is something you think is overrated? Sarah Palin on The Masked Singer, I think, was pretty overrated. What was that?

Sarah Palin was on The Masked. She was The Masked Singer. And then she unmasked, and then she sang. Baby's Got Back. Baby's Got Back. She's saying Baby Has Back. Can Baby Has Back? Can Baby has back? Can baby has back?

That was the same night that the NBA got canceled right at tip-off. Or the NBA got suspended the whole season. The president came on and failed to calm anybody down. And that was the most apocalyptic thing I saw all night by far. But then, but then you saw Sarah Palin. Yeah, no, Sarah Palin was the most apocalyptic thing that I saw the whole night. It was frightening.

Also, here's another, well, maybe I'll save this for my myth, but it is the second time that something that I've written has been nullified by reality you know like a joke that I wrote was like oh this is just real now I have a I was planning to make a sketch about you know a

woman going to the pump and trying to choose and then choosing a type of gas called unleaded for her. And now, Shell has come out. Right, it's a shield.

The shield thing. It's like, okay, well, I guess I can't make that fucking sketch anymore. Yeah. She will destroy

the Middle East. Yeah, seriously. She will destabilize the entire world's ecology. Yes. The Niger River Delta. Yes,

queen. She will continue and pivot to green technology when she thinks it profits her. Yeah, the wild thing. The she in that is the queen. Right. It's the queen who we're all saying yes queen about all the time.

Well, they're Dutch, right? Royal Dutch. The queen of Dutch land. There was that clip, though, that Parker Molloy tweeted that was the Masked Singer going directly into Trump's speech. And it's like, this is hell on earth. Yeah. Like it went from like, yeah, and like special announcement.

And it's like, OK. Was it the Trump clip or was it the Trump feed where you got him before freaking out about getting pen on his shirt? Oh, fuck. Getting what on his shirt? He got a little pen on his shirt. That's what we think. Yeah. There's something like a pen mark?

You hear him say pen mark? So it's the feed. He goes, I got a little pen on his shirt. That's what we think. Yeah. There's something like a pen mark? You hear him say pen mark? So it's the feed. He goes, I got a little pen mark. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. Give me the white stuff. The white stuff. So if it's a pen mark on his shirt, he was hoping to white out a pen mark on his shirt.

Here, let's just listen to this. This shit is pretty good. Oh, fuck. Uh-oh. I got a pin mark. Anybody have any white? Do you have any white stuff? That's going directly into, that was the feed that was going out to the news desks across the country.

Beautiful. And then he goes live, all serious. Yeah, right after they end, he's holding the shot before the director goes, all right, we're clear, and then he gets it, and then... We're clear. Okay. Okay. Okay.

And they zoom out. It's like he exhaled so hard, his body went to another dimension. He's like, okay. It's really funny. That's the most relatable thing Trump's ever done, is get cut and then go, oh, God. That was so hard to hold. That shit was wild, huh? Okay.

Okay. I think we need that as a drop. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Finally, what is a myth okay okay okay so so for my myth i just i had to let you guys know about this newsweek article and here's the myth the myth i mean the myth is the title of the article okay here is the title of the article in newsweek okay millennial boomers are the greatest generation in history.

What the fuck was that? Did you hear me talk about this? No, I just saw that cover and I was like, what? Good lord. So I read this whole article and you're welcome. Don't read it. It's so long and it is specific. I bet you the pitch for this article was all of our readers are writing in to ask us to just write

a big long article that they can send to their children yeah right right so their children will stop blaming them for voting for bloomberg right and voting for biden right um and uh you know and it's working and so basically this article is is not news there is no pure opinion there's it's pure opinion i don't understand why it's in Newsweek. Because they've fallen off so hard. They've fallen off. It's completely like, it's so far from, you couldn't even pitch it. There's no news angle here.

It's straight up a list of like, here's everything that we did that made the world better. Are they taking credit for civil rights? Here we go. Wealth and income. Millennials are justifiably outraged over the growing wealth gap. Here's what gets lost, though. Today, it's slightly lower, but households were larger than taxes are lower. Now, overall, things are cheaper. Best of all is phone usage. Wow. Did you know phones are cheaper now than they were in 1969? Thanks, boomers, I guess. Cool. Security and safety.

Like, all of these are long because they go through all the numbers of, like, car deaths have plummeted. Oh, my God. Remember how we found out smoking was bad and also made you wear seat bolts? Yeah, right, right. I mean, these are all things.

Or Ralph Nader did. They're all saying, hey, you know, things were really bad then and they're better now because we did it. And it's like, okay, but it's still really bad. Very Trumpian, too. Very Trumpian. Just to, like, take blanket credit for, like, half of this shit or all of it.

Also, the stuff that they're complaining about in this article and saying, like, the world used to be more expensive and deadlier and there used to be way more crime is the very thing they, like, are so nostalgic for on Fox News. Like, that's the – Right. Yeah, that's the era they all want to go back to. And this is really funny. The section about the environment and climate is the funniest because they're like millennials face some very serious environmental issues. The two warmest years in history are 2016 and 2019. There are 330 billion pounds of plastic garbage floating in our oceans and an estimated 200 species go extinct every single day.

Very little is being done about it because of politics. But we had some pollution issues of our own. On June 22, 1969, the Cuyahoga River, a nasty black oozing bubbly waterway that wound through Cleveland, caught on fire. Why are you bragging about this? You did that too. Because of politics. Because of politics. Because of politics, guys of politics. Because politics, guys.

So the world is. It was common for factories to simply dump waste onto the ground or into waterways. It's still common. They still do this. Yeah. And you still have boomers in charge who are taking away those regulations that otherwise would prevent dumping and shit. It's a really, really funny. So myopic.

Before this 1970s, culture in the U. the US was tightly controlled and highly commercialized. Like now? Like now. What the? And they're like, yeah, you're welcome for all the technology. It's a really funny article

because it consistently acknowledges how much previous generations fucked up everything and then also how they addressed it. But you don't look good. It doesn't make you look good. That's not the point you need to be making. Exactly. yeah it doesn't make you look good that's not the point you need to be making yeah it certainly doesn't make you look like if anything

greatest generation in history or you do something create more sympathy of being like yeah we came out of this era where yes there's a reason we have blind spots yeah or whatever exactly and like i think they're very narrowly like man people just say like okay boomer to me it's like really fucked up or whatever i just hate it when people say okay to me this is probably the most successful article they've ever had though certainly in terms of like

clicks and reads this is gonna sell billions of copies remember like a couple months ago or at this point maybe years ago it's so hard to remember but like we were making fun of them for like reposting fake ass news and shit that was Monday, Miles. Oh, gosh. Yeah, but I mean, specifically Newsweek, we were baffled by how it was just like,

Newsweek is just like a shitty blog that is coasting on the fact that they used to be a magazine. There's like one boomer in charge of Newsweek now, and they're just posting. This is just boomer posts. It's Twitter for old people. They like it better because there are no young people on there to say, okay, boomer to them in the comments section. So yes, they ignored an existential threat to human survival

that became evident as they were inheriting the earth in the 80s. That's when we found out about it. Hey, but they were doing a lot of culting. And now as they're handing it over to another generation, they haven't done shit about it. So that yes, that happened, but

they cleaned up Cleveland. So we good. And as we all know, the American Midwest is doing fine now and is environmentally very clean and safe. They have clean water everywhere in the Midwest. They defended against expanding trade to keep jobs in the country.

We have an extremely diverse agricultural. It's all very safe. But it's funny, they're like, goods are cheap because they completely fucked the manufacturing class too. Exactly. They're like, things are cheaper now, so you're welcome.

Do you want to connect that to where the... Yeah. Okay. Okay, boomer. Okay. And then boomers are like, you know what, we can't do everything. I get it.

We're very busy. Don't feel stressed. Look, you dropped the ball. We got to pick it up now. It's fine. And we're we're mad about it sorry that's just what it is you know what sorry i say okay to you yeah and we're dropping the ball too fuck it what are you gonna do yeah you know what the droppage continues another myth that i i wanted to hit is is a really really one that i think is like is gonna get really big because i think to me it's the whole dropping out i mean we can get into it on the on

the cast too unless we're only going to talk corona but um the the whole like what's backing Joe Biden is is a pretty fun story that is emerging okay um do you guys want to talk about that now or should we hold off let's let's hold let's have a quick break come back talk some corona and then we'll close out act two talking about Biden surge, Joe-mentum. I love it. I'm assuming that's what you're referring to. Yes, I'm talking about the Biden surge.

Joe-mentum? When you say that- Joe-mentum. What is backing Biden is just Joe-mentum, right? Yeah, it's Joe-mentum and it's pure Irie. It's a vibe, I guess. Yeah, I guess. I guess.

Joe-vibing. Joe-vibing. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. it's a vibe I guess yeah I guess Joe vibin Joe vibin we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back when you think of Mexican culture you think of avocado mariachi delicious cuisine

app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. Please stick to policy. Don't get personal. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows. That we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki.

It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in a relationship with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab.

Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro might have it. He's being tested tender roni? Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro might have it. He's being tested. Bolsonaro virus. Yeah. Bolsonaro virus. Borona. Anyway.

Anyway. But yeah, one of his press aides had it tested positive and like they had all met at Mar-a-Lago. Yet another opportunity for Trump to contract the illness. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, unfortunately. Yeah. RIP. Thoughts and prayers to them. You know, but it happens. Chet Hanks said that they're...

Oh, I have it right here. Do you want to hear what Chet Hanks said? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because Chet Hanks obviously... Cheer to combination. And I'm surprised he didn't come with the iry talk, you know, big up, me parents just got corona, you know. Tom Hanks.

Yeah, big up, you know. Wagwan, Wagwan internet. So this is him actually giving a very sober update. What's up, everyone? Yeah, it's true. My parents got coronavirus. They're both down in Australia right now because my dad was shooting a movie down there.

But I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine. They're not even that sick. They're not worried about it they're not tripping but they're going through the necessary health precautions obviously okay but uh i don't think it's anything to be too worried about i appreciate everyone's concern and the well wishes but thank you bro but they don't need i think it's all gonna be all right but i appreciate it and uh just everybody stay safe out there. Everything can be irie.

Was that a better calming message than we got from the president? Certainly. Probably. Oh yeah. Well at least because everything he said was accurate and didn't require entire swaths of the government to come out and correct what was said.

Exactly. And the fact that he just said they're not tripping. That helped me. That was the true like speak to me in my language you know what i mean like on msnbc they never let me know who's tripping who's tripping who's not right should i be tripping right and see that's why we need like everyone's been talking about this we need a another network for it's gonna be means to be baby yeah exactly and then here it is look y'all shouldn't really be tripping. I get that it's freaky right now, but panicking is not the vibe, okay? It's not the wave either.

So let me tell you about somebody else who wasn't tripping. Jesus Christ. A young man. My good friend, JC. Always manages to creep up in our shows. Some kind of weird tangent on Christ's love. But Rudy Gobert is one of the best players in the NBA, very underrated in terms of one of the best.

Yeah, he just affects things from a defensive perspective more than basically any other player. Great shot blocker. And also a bit of a cut up. At a press conference at practice the other day, people were taking precautions with the media. They were sitting far away and just had their mics up on the table. And Gobert thought it'd be funny if he touched all the microphones as a bit.

That's funny. Because y'all are scared. Yeah, y'all are scared, but he's not. It is not. And as the Utah Jazz, his team, were about to take the floor against Oklahoma City Thunder two nights ago and full stadium. Everybody was there getting ready. They had to call the game off and then suspended the NBA season because Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus.

And then the next morning, his teammate tested positive for coronavirus. So this motherfucker is patient. With the jokes. Zero with the jokes. Doing it. He canceled or suspended the

NBA season for the lulz. Troll King. Troll King. Love him. J-R-R Troll King. J-R-R Troll King in the flesh. So the NBA season is suspended. That's very disappointing for people whose teams were doing well.

Oh, hell yeah. But he committed to the big. Yes. By having Corona. Follow he committed to the bit. Yes. By having Corona. Follow that through to the end. Because, you know, that wouldn't have been funny if he did it all half-assed. You need that confidence. Oh, oh, oh, oh, touching your mics, licking them.

If you did it like, oh, I'm touching your, then I'm like, oh, you're being weird. I mean, if he had really done it, he should have licked the mics. That's the real G move. But this seems to be one of the primary causes of corona that is not being addressed. And that is doing bits about coronavirus seems to be getting people stuck with coronavirus. Because Matt Goetz, the other really ill-advised coronavirus bit, was he right as news started breaking. Matt Goetz. Florida Congressman.

Is it Goetz or Goetz? I call him Getz. Well, I know. Yeah, I went to high school with someone who spelled their last name like that, and it was Getz. Shout out Catherine Getz. Yeah, well, maybe he's trying to change it to sound like put a harder A sound in it. Yeah, it's Gates, bro. We know it's Getz.

It's Gas, bitch. It's Matt Getz coronavirus because he went on the floor of Congress in a gas mask as a bit. And then the next day had to quarantine himself. Yeah. Did you read the story about what happened when he found out he was going to have to quarantine? He shame slept in a Target parking lot in a car. Really? Yeah, because he was like.

That's so Florida. Yeah. He said, off 85 on my way up to D.C DC, pulled off and slept in a Target parking lot in a car. Wow. Just trying to figure it out. Just trying to figure out where I had gone wrong. I think so.

Yeah. I mean, bits. How many bits do you think Trump is doing behind the scenes? I don't know. He's such a germaphobe, right? He's such a germaphobe. I don't think he's doing licking things. He probably wouldn't like someone doing bits.

If someone was like, or someone coughs or sneezes and goes, uh-oh, somebody's been to China. Yeah. I think those are't think he's doing like licking things. If someone was like... Or someone coughs or sneezes and goes, uh-oh, somebody's been to China. Yes. I think those are the bits he's doing. I'm very excited that Jair Bolsonaro

has coronavirus because he said that... He publicly was like, coronavirus is bullshit. And now it's being tested and definitely has it. There you go. Is it a definite?

Do we know? No, he's being tested. I don't know for sure. But someone he stands very close to very often does. Yeah, they met at Mar-a-Lago. He was part of that little fun. That's the thing about having a cabal.

You got to take health precautions. Damn, see if Entourage was around now. They could do a coronavirus episode. That'd be so funny. It would be a bottle episode. Like Turtle got it. And then Drama's like, yo, get away from me. Yeah, and then they're supposed to go to an event like the Emmys or something,

and then the Emmys get canceled. I mean, it writes itself, South By. South By, they got a new shitty indie film that's coming out. Yo, Vince, you had it in the bag, man. I can't believe they canceled the Emmys on your ass. I don't know which one that was supposed to be. Probably Turtle mixed with Drama. I don't know.

It's been a while since I've worked on my entourage impressions. But it does seem strange that... So there's a Brazilian official who met with Trump who tested positive for coronavirus, gets, and another person from CPAC had to quarantine themselves. They also had been meeting with Trump. It's just weird. There's a Senate aide who also has it. Yeah. I don't know. Let's just keep an There's a Senate aide who also has it. I don't know. Let's just keep an eye out.

I don't think they would tell us if Trump had it, right? No. He would have so much corona shame, which he shouldn't. They would tell us he died. Yeah, I mean, they'd have to figure something out.

But if he was sick and in quarantine, I think they just wouldn't say anything. Yeah, exactly. Right. Who knows? We'll never find out.

Okay. Okay. Okay. All right, Mr. President, we have your results. They, exactly. Who knows? Okay. Alright, Mr. President, we have your results. They are positive. Okay. No, no, that's bad. That's not good. Ah, fuck, I got a pen mark. Ah, fuck, I got a pen mark.

Do you think the pen mark was them showing him, yes, you tested positive? It was like a mark in the positive box. It was like a pregnancy test. And he was like, ah, fuck like get the white stuff put it to healthy that's just uh all right let's talk about his uh address to the nation because the idea i remember like people were like okay guys let's like calm the trading down we're gonna hear from the president tonight and uh on wednesday they were like we're gonna hear from the president tonight he's gonna tell us what's what. We'll be in a better place Thursday morning.

And Wall Street wasn't even feeling it. Yo, Wall Street, he crashed the market. That's how bad his speech was. They had to hit the kill switch within four minutes this time. That's a record, I believe. It was going down so quickly. They're like, okay, hit the fucking circuit breaker and we're done today. Yeah, so

if you were watching, if you were happening to one of the lucky people who got to see this seamless transition into Sarah Palin's Masked Singer performance into the announcement from the Oval Office, you're blessed. Fantastic. So, you know, this whole speech was an absolute

disaster from so many different angles. Like he demonstrated he knows nothing about science. He knows nothing about pandemics. He knows nothing about the transmission. He knows nothing about the economy. He knows nothing about how to read words off a teleprompter. There's like failures at every possible level. Obviously, the lead up already gave us some gaffes that we're going to get.

And in fact, so one of the first things, the biggest, I gave us some gaffes that we're going to. Okay. And a fact. Oh, fuck. So one of the first things, the biggest, I think, announcement was a full on travel ban in terms of travel for Europe in and out of Europe. Like, no, it ain't happening. But he exempted the UK for whatever reason, maybe because he has golf courses there. But also, I don't know what the logic was, because they have a lot more cases than even many other European countries do. Oh, the UK does.

The foreign minister I think has coronavirus. They speak English, so we're fine. Yeah, and I just thought he liked all white Europeans. I didn't think he would be like, oh, they're just the ones who speak English. I see him having the old timey racism though where it's like the Italians fall in there and maybe like some Irish.

Yeah, the Irish. No, he was actually with the prime minister in the, like, I think in the Oval Office today doing a press conference. And he commended the UK and gestured to the Irish prime minister being like, we did a great job in the UK. Nailed it. I would have to say probably some of that success they're having in the UK is due to their national health care system, perhaps. Yeah, maybe. One could surmise yeah possibly possibly when people can go to the doctor they go to the doctor more yeah when it's not like a other calculus problem yeah okay income versus the bill possible bill versus time lost from okay um so yeah that was a huge thing and again showing

you know the fucking virus is already here, you shithead. Yeah. What is this going to do now? Like, what's the point? It's been a really, like, surprising for me. I think it's, like I said, it's, like, really shown a light on how much people, you know, who are sick and who do not work and do not fucking participate in the economy are not represented, have no resources. And one of the, like, to me, one of the craziest things is, like, this is a state of emergency.

Like, this is a time when you come to rely on your country's infrastructure. And we are seeing we have none. None. We have none. None. You know, like, there's so many homeless people in L.A. County. Yes. And they are already, like, we talked about this a year ago.

They were all getting fucking typhus. Right. Like, people are getting, you know you know this is not a it's not a we are the richest country in the world but you wouldn't know it from how fast a pandemic spreads right because the money is only in like a very specific corner i think if trump gets coronavirus he's probably going to be okay but like there are people who cannot wash their hands cannot like not touch things you know if you're living on the street like like there's no, there's no way around it. It's raining right now. And there's like, what's your option to go into a shelter where you're like neck and neck with all these people, many of whom I'm sure are sick already.

And these are things that with a government that was operating would have known these problems down to the municipal level and being like, okay, what are your needs? How do we help that? Obviously the city's had to scramble, but even then, you know, we've seen how well the city handles issues like that. It's not super well, not good at all. So among the other things he was talking about, he said that the ban for the European travel ban would also apply to trade and cargo. And people were like, what? And the White House was like, oh, that was an error. Just ignore that. They're like, what? The dude said it on fucking law. Okay, national. Nobody's proofreading Trump.

He also said that insurance companies, and I was like, okay, what's going on? He said had agreed to waive the copayments for coronavirus treatment? That was huge. That's basically like socialized medicine as it applies to this pandemic. Yeah, they're like temporary socialized medicine? Wow. Which is surprising

because insurance companies are not cool about shit like that normally. Normally, insurance companies would be shitting the bed trying to find the best way to profit off of all the people who are going to be in need of treatment. Cut to the second that speech was over, the insurance companies, the fucking Association of Insurance Healthcare Providers put out a statement being like, no, he got that shit wrong. We agreed to waive testing fees, not treatment, bro, that we make way too money off the treatment. So, okay. So you go and you get tested and you find out you have coronavirus

and then they're like, well, fuck you. Okay. So you got 13 grand? Yeah. For what? For the treatment. To be hospitalized. So that was another one

where he completely just fucked up, like just said one thing. That's a big one. That's totally fake. That was one moment when I heard, I go, oh shit, look at them doing something fucking right for a moment. The amount of negotiation that would have had to have taken place, like I would have been very impressed. Absolute fucking lululemon.

I was like, wait, am I feeling impressed by this? There's got to be an error. Yeah. Something is- Oh, good idea. Oh, it must not be real. Right. Yeah. No, it's got to be an error. Something must be up. Oh, good idea. Oh, it must not be real. Right. Yeah, no, it's a total joke.

And then so this is the other thing about his idea that he doesn't even know what to fucking do. The big thing, the biggest gaping hole right now is understanding how we are going to get testing done effectively, because that's the only way we can really begin to collect enough data to understand what's going on. Yeah, to even know if we should close schools, close whatever. Absolutely. Doesn't mention a fucking thing about that during the whole speech.

You're like, maybe some kind of leadership, but again, had no plan for that. And many people are just looking at this, the stock market reacted. Even people, you know, the typical headlines come out, you know, Republican senators are worried but won't do a fucking thing. But just for the purpose of this headline, so you believe that there might be people with a conscience playing a rigged game sort of bullshit. And it's funny when you see even Megyn Kelly tweeting, like, I don't even know who to believe anymore. It can't be the president. And then I don't know the media.

It's like, I don't know what to do. Oh, no. Oh, Megyn. It's very, it's not good because people are dying. Yeah. But it is, I think, very useful for people to see that there are forces larger than us. Absolutely. Forces larger than the market.

Yeah. And with something like this, a novelty virus, truly, a fad, it'll be over before you know it, just like AI and Facebook. A novelty virus, truly, a fad. It'll be over before you know it. Just like AI and Facebook. It's like now we're at the point where you are taking ordinary people and weighing them against the costs of their life. Yeah. And this is like the most direct, like the most like immediate, you know, like if I talk about people over profit in like a societal sense.

Right. There's like, well, there's industry, there's the economy, there's, you know, like if I talk about people over profit in like a societal sense, you know, there's like, well, there's industry, there's the economy, there's, you know, there's ideology. But now we're just like, okay, anyone can get sick. Yeah. You know, everyone's got a body. Right. Yeah. Let me, hold on.

But Miles is thinking. Yep. That's true. That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was doing the math over here too. It checks out. Is it people or is it profit?

You're drawing a Stussy S on your notebook. That represents the coefficient and the thin side parts of the body. Just like the Stussy S, we are all connected. We are all in one beautiful symbol together. I didn't think I needed to explain that to my wife, but apparently I did.

It seemed like six desperate lines can come together to make a beautiful curve. Infinity. Wow. The testing is really fucked. Yeah. I mean, that's the main thing that is keeping this from being accurately reflected.

People think we've tested a very small fraction of a person. Barely anyone. Yeah. We haven't tested anybody. The other thing though that he was also saying he's like but don't worry we're on top of it we're probably i think he was again trying to float relief for the fucking like cruise ship and every every corporation rather than like small businesses and the people who work like shift gigs like cruise ship industry may be as we know it over

yeah wouldn't it be funny like what do we do these old cruise ships like people just oh yeah dock them and just live in them yeah yes pretty much just like drive them really fast up onto the beach yeah okay turn them into monster trucks yeah give them real you sell yeah you turn it into like america's biggest monster truck rallies just fucking ground those motherfuckers knowing this country permanent they'll do a pay-per-view where they launch two of them at full speed at each other. Like in the middle of a very ecologically vulnerable area. I'm like, dude, it's going to be sick. They've loaded them up with thermite.

They're going to fucking explode on impact. They just like throw one into a volcano. Because why not? Why not? Mount Akao? We don't give a fuck. It costs like $10 billion. We'll put a cruise ship in it.

But I do think a question we're going to eventually have to answer on the Daily Zeitgeist, we're responsible. No, but the question of is the slow testing by design because they don't want the numbers fully reported and people to stop going to work and the economy to grind to a halt? Or is it incompetence? I think it's incompetence. It's probably both. Right. to grind to a halt? Or is it incompetence?

I think it's incompetence. It's probably both. Right. Because you're knowing he was actively being like, well, don't, he's so looking at the number values. Speaking of the cruise ship, the cruise ship thing is a really good indicator, like a good window into how things are actually operating in his brain and inside his administration

is he didn't want the cruise ship to dock because it would increase the numbers. Well, like think about how that affects testing. Right, right, right. He doesn't want people dock because it would increase the numbers. Well, like, think about how that affects testing. Right, right, right. He doesn't want people testing positive because that affects the numbers. And his brain doesn't, like, he, let alone 4D chess, he doesn't play anything, like, more than one step ahead. And I doubt that he is making the calculus that, you know,

if you don't test people, it's going to spread faster. Yeah, I think it's all about statistics. Yeah, and his lies are all done. It's like doing, you know, like, you would't test people, it's going to spread faster. Yeah, I think it's all about statistics. Yeah, and his lies are all done. It's like doing, you know, like you may be fucked up, you did some shit you knew your parents were about to find out, but on your way to them finding out, you told every fucking lie under the sun just to kick the can down the road.

Like, yo, I'm going to take this ass whooping later. Like, let me just, yeah, no, it's all good. It's coming later. And you're like, fuck, when that shit comes, I'm done. But I can i can't i can't fess up now he's in the same mentality space right now just like with people asking what's the point of doing the european travel ban or having them like you're gonna have people coming in from europe though that are americans that you're allowing this is what he said to the press okay listen to this him being like oh don't worry it's all good it's all to the g sure but we have them very heavily't worry, it's all good. It's all to the G.

Sure, but we have them very heavily tested. If an American's coming back or anybody's coming back, we're testing. We have a tremendous testing setup where people coming in have to be tested. And if they are positive and if they're able to get through, because if they're, frankly, if they're not, we're not putting them on planes if it shows positive. But if they are, if they do come here, they have to, we're quarantined. It's going to be a pretty strong enforcement of quarantine. Look, the key is you have to have separation.

Okay. He sounds sick, first of all. But second of all. Yeah, sick as fuck, dude. Yeah, that was a sick answer. No, he. I mean, like, that's bullshit. That is not happening. that was a sick answer. No, he... I mean, that's bullshit. That is not happening.

That is not happening. He said, we'll test them. We won't let sick people come. But when the sick people come, we'll quarantine them. So at what point on the journey do you test them? When they've been on the floating petri dish of the airplane? Yeah, he said they can come in and then we'll test them. And then if they test positive,

then we'll go into something. I don't, I don't even think he, he was like, well, if they test positive, then we're not going to let him on planes. The thing you got to understand is separation.

That's the thing. It's just a, then he goes into a mansplain intro. The thing you got to understand, but it's very clear indicate like that. I do think that is always a clear indicator for when somebody realizes they're in over their head in the conversation. They're trying to regroup.

The thing you got to understand. This is him managing to just – the only thing he pays attention to is what's going on on Fox News, right? That's the absolute truth. And that doesn't work if you are only managing in the sense of, well, Fox says if numbers go up that bad, so I don't want numbers to go up and it doesn't work because Fox doesn't give you a very clear understanding of how like a pandemic works. So he's just regurgitating out of context lines about like separation and shit that like needs.

Yeah. There's like, I've seen those stories on fox too like i watch fox all day every day yeah no uh it's done for you yeah i mean again underlines for anyone you'd hope maybe this could be the beginning of some slightly less racist republicans to be like this is like fucking bad right like a lot of people are pretty just concerned with how unconvincing that whole speech was and how unconvincing he is as leader. But I don't know.

I mean, they were able to ignore all the other horrible shit, so. Okay. Okay. All right. Let's take another break. We'll be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this.

Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture.

And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.

But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic.

If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

BBD, Belbiv DeVoe. Uh-huh. Yeah, so Biden wins Michigan, and that was kind of seen as like the big, you know. Did the blue-collar workers of Michigan reject Bernie Sanders? That seems to be the question people are asking. Yeah, there's a weird thing that's happening where everybody dropped out really quickly. Buttigieg dropped out. Klobuchar dropped out.

Everybody was like this coordinated, we're going to drop out and support Biden. I thought that was kind of an interesting move because I really thought if all of the Democratic nominees were going to drop out and support one like moderate candidate, I would have guessed that it would be Buttigieg. But because he was leading with Sanders on those first three states, remember, it was like between him and Sanders. And he was like, I got to drop out because I don't want to do anything that would make Sanders the president, which to me was like pretty intense. Yeah. That's like to say that publicly is is very, very intense, especially considering like to say that publicly is is very very intense especially considering like their family friends you know like there's right right yeah and isn't his dad

like a socialist his dad uh i believe has passed but or right his dad was it was a a humanities professor right he was very social and he's like like cornell west is like his family friend like cornell west knew baby pete wow. Isn't that crazy? And now, and Pete, you know, that's why there's some stuff come up about like, oh, well, like Pete Buttigieg once wrote an essay about how Bernie Sanders was good. And it's like, you know, the personal history of Pete Buttigieg and his political development is like very interesting to me. Because it's such a switch.

Yeah. I don't think it's surprising once you see him be like, yeah, I'm all out to prevent this guy who's going to try and redistribute wealth to the lower classes. What kind of Star Wars storyline are you living out here? Who is your father? Maybe Bernie Sanders is Pete Buttigieg's dad. I don't know. The man is virile.

Pete, I am your father. Pete, I am your father. So one thing that's been really, really crazy coming out about Joe Biden is that his backers are also part of like the super PAC that ended up donating to Elizabeth Warren. The super PAC donation that she took right before she dropped out. It's this capital firm called SKD Knickerbocker and an illegal firm called Perkins Qua. FKD Knickerbocker and a legal firm called Perkins Qua. And it turns out that they have donated a lot of money to every single Democratic candidate except Bernie Sanders. They donated to fucking John Delaney. They donated to Buttigieg.

They donated to – Delaney? For what? I don't fucking know. But like every – There are people who really thought – Was that who – what's his name? The old swamp snake. Oh, Swamp Snake. Oh, James Carville?

Yeah. He had somebody who he really believed in. Yeah, I thought John Delaney would be good. Yeah, he thought John Delaney, I think, was the guy. Yeah, he's doing great. And was saying it with his chest out for a long time. I saw him skin a rabbit with his feet. Okay.

James Carville looks like he's made of rabbits. He is Cajun Nosferatu. Do you remember when the Onion News Network was a thing? Yeah, yeah. They had that curmudgeon show? No. I mean, I remember it being a thing. They had a Fox News cable show, but the guy who was the host was this old curmudgeon man,

and the whole thing was like, it was like James Carville, but if he lived in the wilderness. Right. I think it's Jamesames carville yeah so but a judge and joe biden's campaigns both spent hundreds of thousands of dollars um on legal services from like it and the thing is when you get into it it's all these shell companies there's covington and burling and they're owned by perkins qua and then like above that there's skd knickerbocker which is a capital investment firm and so what do they do? Mysterious. What's their business?

You might call it dark money if you were that kind of person. So now we're at a point where it's like it's clear that there is not only are the candidates personally uniting behind Biden as the Democratic establishment nominee, but they are depending on this capital firm, which it's not only Democrats that are represented by this firm. They also like work with a lot of Republicans. One of their main partners is this guy, Mark Dunn, who regularly goes on Fox News and talks about how Trump is good. And now they're controlling through these services the outcome of the democratic primary so it's not good news for the democratic party to have this company like yeah dark money that has eyes on the entire

game totally and it's republican dark it's like you know within the democratic establishment there's like whatever the clinton foundation and all these other like you know strongholds of of democrat establishment money of d DNC money and super delegates and all that shit. But now it's like, okay, you guys really don't give a shit about what this is connected to. All they want to do now is stop Bernie. And I'm very worried that it is at the expense of the election. Because if you are worried about stopping Trump, you should be worried about the money for the Democratic candidate coming from a company that clearly does not give a shit about anyone's values or anything.

All they want to do is make money by legally representing powerful people. It's just basically just like with Bloomberg, right? Like he would have had a, what, almost over $4 billion tax hit with Bernie Sanders as president. You spend a couple hundred million, you spend a half billion dollars to avoid paying four. That's money well spent. Same with the dark money.

You can just get all these people who are in a certain income bracket. Be like, we can pull all of our money together because the only outcome we need to do is ensure there's nobody with some kind of wealth tax idea. And then it's worth it

because all these other problems don't affect me at the strata of society I'm at. I don't't know if people are fighting in the street i'll take a helicopter yeah yeah i take a helicopter everywhere and that's gonna go great for me for the rest of my life yeah that is yeah that's the status quo i mean we talked about how when a democratic politician like if you listen to a crooked media podcast like they openly say that this is how politics works. If somebody is a really talented politician

and you want to see if they're going to be a viable candidate, you take their phone, you go through contacts, and count up how much money the people in their contact list have. It just comes down to that. And that seems to be something that everybody in America has a fucking problem with. Democrat, Republican, left, right. Everybody is like, that sucks.

Right. It's weird that they like the money in politics things people can agree on. But we're still having trouble making that next connection. Right. To what the money in politics means in terms of class warfare. Right. That's happening and being like, oh, right. Money in politics means they're

rich people gaming it right and i think you don't get to vote for amy klobuchar or pete bozs or mike bloomberg or bernie sanders it means that that's decided for you basically and then you you know vote blue no matter who but but if you're voting blue i would imagine that you're like i don't i wow i sure hope who i'm voting for isn't secretly a Republican. Right. Yeah. And I mean, not that he is a secretly Republican, but obviously supported by. Yeah. Somehow.

Right. Joe Biden. Yeah. Who knows? But like, especially now, he believes whatever the people who are paying him tell him to believe. Yeah. Because he's getting paid a lot of money and a lot of money is riding on him.

Yes. And so. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, it's ignorant to think that a candidate like Bernie Sanders or even Elizabeth Warren of like what they were, the vision they had runs antithetical to the ruling class of this country. And to think that they would just sit on their hands and not fight tooth and nail to do every possible thing they could to prevent an outcome like that, I think is ignorant or naive.

But that's why I think people also who are supporting those candidates who get deflated by what's going on also need to understand this is what the system that we're up against. Yeah. It's not coming down because a couple of people would send out wild memes and show up to a couple of rallies like this is the fucking this is what's actually happening. Yeah. Like while we think it's like this, the dark money is flying to ensure that the system moves the same way.

Yeah. It's not democracy. Yeah. No. Not by not moves the same way. Yeah. It's not democracy. Yeah. No. Not by a long shot. Yeah. We talked about, you know, this has been going on since. Time immemorial.

Yeah. Eugene Debs had that quote about how the socialists seem to and just the people of America seem to underrate the influence of, you know, owning the media and how that impacts the political system and that the ruling class has no such illusions. They seem to get it pretty clearly. Yeah. There's also, you know, the stuff that's been happening with the lines for voting right now is so obvious. Yeah.

It's just so, like, basic. It's like, well, how can we keep young people from voting? And then, like, oh, young people aren't turning up. Yeah. That's weird. Can't believe young people aren't turning up. They're standing in line for four hours. Remember Super Tuesday?

People were at UCLA for like six hours. Handing shit out, being like, hey, can you come feed people who have been in line all day? Yeah. Like, come on. That's not fucking democracy. Like, if that happened in Russia, and it does, like, we'd have a problem. Well, there.

And then they have videos of them just taking the votes and like tossing them out. Totally. Should we have like, this. And then they have videos of them just taking the votes and like tossing them out. Totally. Should we have like this is why supposedly we went to Venezuela. This is supposedly why we went to Bolivia, you know, because they didn't have democracy. Right. Well, by those standards, Venezuela should invade us. Right. All right.

Let's get back to the issue at hand. The NBA coronavirus has killed some entertainments. Some diversions. Basketball. Soccer. The NBA is suspended. The Champions League and Europa League. Suspended. La Liga. Suspended. Making the band reboot

auditions. No! They were rebooting, breaking the band and Diddy had to say, we have to look out for everyone's safety. We will not be doing the final in-person auditions quite yet. Thank you, Diddy. Fast and Furious 9 pushed back a year.

Bond pushed back whenever. The NHL is also thinking about suspending the league. It's all happening. But I just want to say, one industry that is not backing down are the all-you-can-eat buffet chain restaurants. Really? Yes. True kings.

Listen to this shit. Okay, so first of all, tell me if you think a place where there's open platters of food. They got a sneeze guard. Where they needed the invention of something called a sneeze guard. Yes, sneeze guard is not a fictitious place from a Tolkien book. It's that glass partition that will keep you from sickening other people or getting them infected. It's to keep you from coughing on all the food that's out. Yeah.

So they're asking all these people. So Golden Corral, one of the largest, right? They're asking, so what's going on? Y'all are staying open? Like this seems like not a good idea. Yeah, that's where old people go. Right. They say a rep from Golden Corral says that employees have been instructed to wash their hands at a minimum of every 20 minutes or between tasks.

They're also wiping down all guest touchpoint areas every half hour and leaving hand sanitizers available for everyone. What about the food? Do they bleach the food? No, no. But that's the extent. They're just like, yeah, we're wiping stuff down. Everyone's washing their hands. So that's good.

I think we're good. So then the other restaurants too, Hometown Buffet, Old Country, Ryan's Buffet, they're also doing the same thing where they're sort of like, yeah, man,

we're basically just cleaning stuff and don't worry, everyone's washing their hands. I don't know how you can guarantee that or know if you're not giving your employees paid sick leave that your employees are also not ill. So they don't have paid sick leave.

I don't know what their official stance is. I know the company that owns Olive Garden. Whether the Golden Corral has paid sick leave? Olive Garden surprisingly got their shit together and they're doing it. Oh, yeah, because somebody shamed them on Twitter. Called them out. Yeah, well, because in general, they're like, oh, do you want to get paid in a credit card that we make that we're going to take a percentage off of?

It's like, oh, I'm sorry, what is this snake eating its own tail? I don't know, Miles. It sounds like a great deal to me. Yeah, it's like oh i'm sorry what is this snake i don't know miles it sounds like a great deal to me yeah something a great system um so the other thing uh is the reason right this company that owns the hometown buffet old country and ryan's are like so what's the deal their quote or their reasoning is uh that they're not like shutting doors down and facilities down yet is because most of their customers are homegrown in the u.S. and not from overseas. Good. That's what, when a virus enters your body, it asks, are you American? Yeah, hold on.

Is this Uncle Sam blood? Oh, better go then. Sorry, not for me. When did they make that statement? That is. This is in the last 24 hours. Wow. Yeah.

So they're. They're even xenophobic in their reasoning to not. I just teleported out of my body for a second. They're just homegrown, you know? But you don't know where these people have been. Even if you're homegrown, you'd be like, yeah, I'm homegrown. I just got back from Milan. Yeah, me personally, born in this country, I think I've talked to people who aren't.

Yeah, right. I think I've maybe been in a city. Oh, you're fucked. I've been near someone who's not a homegrown Americano. Yes. So, yeah, that's, it's just very – it shows you also, too, this is the speed at which these markets have their, like, oh, you think we're going to shut down and eat those losses? Oh, you think we're going to put the needs of people and their human bodies over the possibility of profit? And, I mean, I understand that, like –

I'm going to wash my hands. It's a good – like, if you need a meal that is cheap, you can get it very quickly or whatever. But on a certain level, that's where you also need the government to start thinking about these things to be like, OK, if that's not the case, then how are we going to get food? The market cannot just do it on its own. We need some common sense regulations in place because people are going to seek comfort food. Yeah, that's subsid Meals on Wheels. Yes. Real quick, we should talk about one bright spot is that-

The Masked Singer thing, right? In 20 years, you will be able to go up to a teenager and ask them, were you a Corona baby? Corona baby? Corona baby? Because this is something that we've seen throughout history. Anytime there is a quarantine or a mass thing where people are shut in, people start a fucking... They start a fucking bra.

What was that? That's Miles' new camera. They start a fucking bra. Fucking bra. It's me. Fucking bra. You're fucking bra. I just like to fuck bra.

I just like to fuck bro. I just like to fuck bro. Yeah. So we know that in China, they're actually just being cleaned out of condoms. There have been photos. I don't know how prevalent this is or the lack of condoms are, but I've seen multiple viral images of being like, not a lot of condoms available on the shelves because most people are having to stay in. Oh, it makes sense.

Yeah. But what's even funnier, though, too, is like there's just like the dating apps have also reported not much shift here, especially in countries that aren't locked down. Obviously, ones that are have like taken a severe hit. But even like the apps are sort of like, well, they're like realizing people are still on there. And they're kind of like, all right, I guess maybe we should try and like let people know. I did see on Tinder, like, you know, every like 20 swipes or whatever, they give you an ad. One of the ads was like, wash your hands after you guys fuck.

Right. After you fuck each other. No, Tinder, it says like while you're swiping, it will remind you that, quote, they want you to, quote, continue to have fun. You should always remember to carry hand sanitizer and maintain social distance good good i'm gonna put hand sanitizer all over my pussy there's a queer focus app called lex that's also reminding people wash their hands suggesting ways that you can like entertain yourself if you're a corny if you have been quarantined um but okay cupid they've they've included a question now like if you're trying to sign up on okay cupupid about does coronavirus

affect your dating life because they like to always weave in shit like I remember at one point it was like a Game of Thrones question people were like adding into it issues of the day the guy who founded OkCupid wrote a book that was one of the most interesting books like of the past 10 years that

like offered data about the American population but it was, they're just paying attention. They're like paying attention to you and being like, Oh, so you guys are way more racist than you claim to be. You're like all this shit that they've been able to tell. So yeah.

Okay. Cupid is paying, is watching. Where's okay. Boomer. I know that needs to come out. I mean, that's an SNL.

No, that's for sure. That's a YouTube video from nine years ago. Yeah. We all know that. Um, that phrase was out. Yeah. But I mean, that's an SNL spoof sketch for sure. That's a YouTube video from nine years ago. Yeah, yeah. We all know that. If that phrase was out. Yeah. But I mean, and this has been one of the reasons people think that birth rates have gone down recently is because there's just more things to do around the house.

So much on TV that people, you know, now that things are shut down and shut in, I guess people are still going to have access to their phones and TV. So we'll see if there is a baby bump. But they said in OkCupid, 88% of the people they surveyed, actually globally, 88% of the OkCupid users said they are still dating during the outbreak. Yeah.

So that makes sense. And there is something about facing your own mortality that makes you worried. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's why like that anecdote from Mallrats where he's saying the plane was going down and everyone starts masturbating. Then they're saying in the US, the dating pool is still at 92%. They say Seattle and Miami are the most nervous cities based on their survey.

Makes sense. Because it's gone down to only 85, which is still pretty significant. That's still a lot of people. Right. But like in Italy, it's like around 45%, which makes sense. South Korea is 71%. Yeah. Bullshit.

We still got to meet. The other thing is like to the date, like dating is the opposite of what the World Health Organization is saying. It's like don't be in public places and less than six feet from someone and don't get your sputum or saliva on each other from kissing or whatever you do. That's a whole subplot of the movie Contagion, which we will cover on Monday's episode because that is the one movie that's doing well. So we'll talk more about that. We're going to do an in-depth look at the movie Contagion. More on that later. More on that later.

But sorry, June, it's been a pleasure having you in these end times. Where can people find you, follow you? You can follow me on at means underscore TV on Twitter. That is a streaming service that I've talked about on this podcast before. And we have finally launched. We now have a streaming service

and there's like hours and hours of content on there. Oh shit. If you're self-quarantining, you're coronavirusing, sit down, watch what we got on Means TV. We have four weekly shows now. Those are live streams. And then we have like a shit ton of really good movies,

really good documentaries, really good narrative films. So, yeah, get on there. And I am making two shows for Means TV that will be out over the next few months. One is kind of a Black Mirror type show, and the other one is an animated sketch show. So I'm really excited about those. So, yeah, get on Means TV. It's $10 a month. And we have exclusive content.

We have some really, really good shit. And we're getting some really cool shit over the next few months. I'm genuinely very excited about this stuff we're getting. So yeah. Y'all doing quarantine discounts maybe? You know, maybe. Actually, that's not a bad idea. I mean, at some point. That's not a bad idea.

Yeah, we just launched two weeks ago. And we're doing really well. So yeah, get on that. It's Means underscore TV on Twitter. You could go to means dot TV if you want to check it out. Means dot TV slash join is where I would love for you to go. There you go. And yeah, it's a it's a cooperative. So we're you know, we're producing content and we're licensing content just like Netflix. But we pay people more and we pay people more. We pay indie filmmakers a lot more than amazon gives you to

put your content on amazon right putting your indie film on amazon you get two cents a play yeah right which is fucking bullshit um so we have uh we have better deals for filmmakers we have better deals for the people that are working with us we like our uh we have profit sharing at the end of the year this is our first this is our first year so you know at the end of the year we'll see how much uh profit comes out and how much people get as a bonus at the end of the year, we'll see how much profit comes out and how much people get as a bonus at the end of the year. Wow, sharing profits with the people who are generating the content? Yeah, it's pretty remarkable. Pretty radical idea.

I think that is like, but like radical, dude. Yeah. So, you know, I mean, I know corporate media is going super well and everybody's very happy with it. Happy with the checks. Happy with the checks, happy with the content that we're seeing. But yeah, we have a, if you're looking for other news shows, we have a Means Morning News show that's every day. Okay, do it. Every day, every week.

Actually, I can't remember if it's every day or every week, but you know what? We got it. There you go. We're out there in D.C. So yeah, please check that out. And not on social media anymore. So you can't follow me there, but you can go to my website, heysarjun.com. Boom.

All right. So no acts of social media that you've been enjoying, but I feel like you've given us plenty with your rundown of. I will say a tweet that I love and a tweet that I'm sure you will love. Do you guys know the comedian James Austin Johnson? No. Oh, he's such a funny guy. And he does literally the best Trump impression I have ever seen. Oh, fuck yeah.

So go to at Shrimp Jaj. That's Shrimp J-A-J, and you will see my favorite. I never thought I would be sending a Trump impression to my friends. Right. But goddamn, it is so good. It makes Alec Baldwin look like shit. This guy is so fucking good. Can you play a little bit?

Play the Chrono one. We're looking at Crota very closely, and we close the time tear at an opportune time very early, and I would attribute that a lot because no much spread. And we were enjoying the fair for a very long time, right? And then we run into Marles, so Kroner has an issue. So Kroner talks to Luca, and we're meeting the frogmen. He's doing this while driving, which is probably the only way you can approximate Trump's thought process. Yeah, in all these videos, he's always walking.

And so, Miles, where can people find you and what's a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh, boy. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey. Also, my other podcast, 420 Day Fiance with with Sophia Alexander where we talk about the show 90 Day Fiance but off that shit. You know what I mean? Okay so a tweet that I like a couple. First is from Matt Lieb

Pete, Earth, Amy, Fire, Beto, Wind, Kamala, Water, Corey, Heart, Biden. Here's the deal fat by your powers combined you you know the thing. Here's the deal, fat. And then another one from at Disneyland to go.

Mickey has died from coronavirus. Oh, no. Oh, I do want to plug. Jamie and I raised over $700 for Bernie Sanders on a foot street. Oh, yeah. On the foot street. On the foot street. It was good.

We raised $700. Damn, $700. Damn. I did some mukbang. I ate more spaghetti than I've ever eaten for Bernie. And Jamie showed her feet for Bernie. And maybe we'll do it again. So if you're into that, follow Jamie Cray Superstar on Instagram.

Maybe we'll do it again. Yeah. A lot of, you know, Zamboni feet. We had some toenail painting. We had a lot of people who were like, I feel gross, but I love Bernie. Wait, what is Zamboni feet? She has a little Zamboni and she touched it with her feet. She liked it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not like a weird. People liked it. It was all right. It wasn't our best stuff. A lot of Zamboni drivers get. Look, this content is not for me. Right.

All right. A tweet I've been enjoying from Indecisive Jones tweeted, Alanis Morissette, I want you to know that I'm happy for you. Ex-boyfriend. Aw. Smiley face, Alanis. I wish nothing but the best for you both. Ex-boyfriend, thank you.

It's good that you're taking it so well. Alanis Morissette, deep breath. Did you forget about me, Mr. Dove? Bless the day. Such a great tweet. Rob Stein covers Alanis Morissette. Multiple people were like, yo, you're going to like this tweet. And you were right.

I already had it hearted. I put a little heart on it. RIP the star. RIP the star. There's all sorts of other good stuff out there. And listen here, Jack. How do you open PDF? How do you open PDF?

Oh, and then JP Brammer tweeted, it didn't feel apocalyptic until they actually cleaned the subway. That scares the shit out of me when I heard they cleaned the subway. Like, because I feel like that's the one place coronavirus is not safe, is the subway. Yeah. Right? Now you're just giving them a clean landing surface for coronavirus.

I saw somebody take coronavirus as Air Force Ones on the trip. Coronavirus was like walking onto the subway and was like, eww. Went back.
