I'm just going to go right to the last one. The last search I looked at last night was smoking old weed. You were worried? I was worried.

I was like, does old weed eventually turn to PCP or some shit like that? What's the half-life of weed? Yeah, what's the half-life of weed? When it starts breaking down, yeah. If I smoke this, will I be running through the streets naked? What's the half-life what's that yeah what's the half-life when it starts breaking down yeah if i smoke this will i be running through the streets naked what's the official word it's just less potent it's just less potent yeah it's like probably nothing will happen at all you know so funny when i was like 6 15 uh and like you know just started smoking weed like for real you know like there was nowhere to get it but we had heard about someone's older brother years ago who got in trouble, hid a pipe and some weed in the like near the L.A. River by this overpass we lived at. So like a bunch of fucking psycho teenagers with nothing to do.

We fucking did a manhunt for this like mythical bag that had like a pipe in it. We found that shit. Y'all found it? No. Yes, we did. Did y'all smoke it? We smoked that shit and it was we got sick yeah it was like moldy and shit it had like legit had been there probably for

make a solid three years yeah and it was like a myth that had existed in like amongst our friends and brothers like everything and then yeah we found it that should be like your generation's Stand By Me. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard there's a weed pipe. Down by the wash. You know what's not to be fucked with is old mushrooms. You should use those within a certain – because they find those under cow shit. So there's stuff that's growing on those. Wait a minute.

What? Mushrooms are cow shit drugs? Yeah, cow shit drugs. See, that's why I don't do mushrooms. Yeah. I've never done mushrooms. One time, I opened a bag of old mushrooms

and there were like bugs crawling through them. It was really fucking gross. Those are called spirit guides. Did you still take them? I did, yes. I did, and I was in the hospital

for four hours. It's pretty good, actually. Jacquees, what is something that is underrated the mcgriddle oh yes the mcdonald's breakfast mcgriddle listen mcdonald's right now they're doing their two for four special where you can get two breakfast sandwiches for four dollars which is a great deal well i remember when it used to be even cheaper though it was yeah it's okay let's not

live in the past yet come on old man mine i like got me my bacon egg and cheese biscuit and then i got a mcgriddle i was like this is delicious and then somebody looked at i ate too because i'm a fat ass uh and somebody looked at me was like man why you ain't get the mcmuffin like because the mcmuffin sucks oh okay well go on see miles was with me until i shed it on the McMuffin. No, I love them both. The McMuffin's classic. They're all my children. Yes, it is classic, but the McGriddle should be classic now. Yeah.

It should be the new McMuffin. When it came out, I remember my friends and I, we got our shit together to wake up early enough to go get McDonald's back. Because at this point, we were out of high school, I think. Yeah. So we didn't really have a reason to be up before 10. But the McGriddle was one of them. And i used to bribe you my homie chris i like my mom needed help moving some furniture out of chris like the strongest dude i knew i was like yo dude if you come through my mom will hook it will lace you with the mcgriddles and he was before i hang

up the phone he was there like when the couch over his head i'm like yes the power of the mcgriddle it's so good i don't do it no more but i used to still put jelly on my mcgriddle to make it even sweeter not it's not sweet enough for you and now i'm like all right i don't want diabetes uh so i don't do that now at one point weren't two egg mcmuffins like three bucks yeah like back i could i remember they probably still are i think it's like two for five now it's something criminal something criminal because it all depends on where you are also shout out to mc to McDonald's all day breakfast. That was a game changer. That was a game changer.

Nobody wakes up before 1030 to go get breakfast. This is true. I believe this to be true. This is not going on McDonald's. Nobody on earth. We all wake up at 1045 and we miss that McDonald's breakfast. And we're angry. Yeah.

And now you can wake up at 2 p.m. and get your breakfast. So shout out. There you go. Do you have any feelings, Jack? Making the world less productive, maybe. Giving the world one less reason to get up in the morning, to get up before noon. I mean, we're not too far off from a reality where people wake up and go,

did I miss McDonald's breakfast? Fuck it. Going back to sleep. Yeah. I used to do that. Yeah. Especially, I think they're adapting to this new world where people don't need to work and we're all going to be on universal basic income.

Right. So they're just like, yeah, well, nobody's going to be up before noon. Right. Or like the gig economy. The gig economy. Where you can do your job whenever, however you want. That's a great thing. All right, Jacquees, what is something that is overrated?

Medicine. Oh, no. Let me tell you why. Please. So I'm in pain, yo. I got my back hurts right now. Why does your back hurt? Because I was at Disneyland for about 13, 14 hours on Tuesday.

Yep. Walked the entire time. And I'm getting too old for that. It's that podcasting life. Yes, 14 hours on Tuesday. Yep. Walked the entire time. And I'm getting too old for that. It's that podcasting life. Yes, that podcasting life. Ibuprofen don't work. Unless it's shit they give you and they put in your veins. It doesn't work.

Cold medicine doesn't take away your cold. It just temporarily makes you feel better if it does that. Ibuprofen don't make you better it just is a mask medicine is a mask and i might as well just not put drugs in my body unless it's marijuana right which would probably help your back which is like cbd tincture yeah go get the one the whoopi goldberg one that she makes what is it she whoopi goldberg makes like a topical tincture for like body pain i think it's actually for menstrual cropi Goldberg makes like a topical tincture for like body pain. I think it's actually for menstrual cramps.

But she has like a – a lot of the weed stores, there's like this display with Whoopi and this other hippie woman. Yeah. And I'm like, what's this Whoopi Goldberg thing? They're like, it's like a topical pain reliever. Oh, really? And I was like, oh, shit. The THC thing that you like. It's like a CBD one, yeah.

Right, right. Which is interesting too because a lot of states that have medical marijuana, they have lower incidences of opioid addiction. Really? Yeah. Because, you know, the plant heals, baby. It heals. It heals. So what you're saying, this is you going up against big pharma.

Yeah. And you're saying, you know what? It doesn't work. I'm not playing your game. It doesn't work. Yeah. I'm not going to spend the money. I'm not going to take the pills.

But you just stole a bunch of our ibuprofen out of the cabinet. You got zip lock bags? That's out of the cabinet not because it works just have a problem just in case just in case i will say i think it's true that medicine works differently for different people for sure that's probably yeah because like my my wife is recovering from major surgery right now and she got through like the last couple weeks with ibuprofen really yeah and like when it when the pain's like that real like it's it's a thing where you can't like think you can't like do anything unless you unless something is relieving your pain and uh extra strength ibuprofen was what we got so you calling him out because you're like oh what you just walked around disneyland for 13 hours my wife had surgery her medicine working yeah uh she's taking baby tylenol no i'm the i'm i'm the biggest baby of all i've had a cold she's

recovering from major surgery and i'm like more laid up than she is dude that's me too i think men are just in general yeah women are just way tougher than men. I don't think I had my first analgesic pain reliever, as it were, until I was about 17. Because my mom insisted I never was in pain. Because that's more like – You don't know pain, Miles? And also in Japan, she's like, this is post-World War II. The bombs had just come down.

She's like, you think we had Tylenol? I'm like, fuck, okay. But like look at my elbow. It is fucked up. It is. Yeah. And she's like, no, you don't need that. She's like, you need discipline.

I'm like, okay. Now I definitely take painkillers less because – I don't know if it's just because like I've tried to convince myself that they don't work with a childhood of being told you don't need it. But every now and then, yeah. Like when I get real back pain or something. When I get real back pain. I'll take like three though. You have to take two. If I take ibuprofen, I'm popping three or four.

Ibuprofen is okay to do that with. Tylenol, not. Any sort of acetaminophen can really fuck up your liver if you OD on it. Oh, so ibuprofen is okay Ibuprofen I think so Ask your doctor People will go into your mentions Now I just know specifically that Tylenol

This American Life actually did a big Story about how people were Dying and getting all sorts of Liver and kidney problems From ODing on fucking Tylenol. Oh, man. Which, yeah, you'd think that would be a thing that they'd be like, whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big blinking red letters.

Oh, because people just like probably are in chronic pain and are just taking Tylenol for it. And then like you're taking like what? Yeah, if you have like a week-long headache and so you're taking like a whole bunch, you're like, Oh, it's really bad. So I'm going to take four or five Tylenol at a time. Right.

And then you end up with a like lifetime kidney issue. See, well, moving on. Yeah. So what is a myth? All right. All right.

Other than medicine, medicine. That was also my myth. Pain. We call it sensation. It's how you feel alive. Miles just tried to pray over Jack Heese's back earlier. He was just like that.

This will. It worked. Well, I mean, it wasn't. It was more about energy. You know, I was watching that documentary about. All pain is fear based. Bhagwan Rajneesh. You know what I mean?

I'm just trying to send vibes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. I was talking about this with somebody. I'm a fan of Looney Tunes. So here's a myth that some people probably know, but I had to debunk it for a lot of

people. That Looney Tunes is not real. It's not real. Okay. Looney Tunes, when they were the original like Mary Melodies and the original Looney Tunes were not children cartoons. Oh, really? No. Looney Tunes were not children cartoons. Oh, really? No, they actually were shorts that they played before movies, which is why some of those old school cartoons like Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes have won Oscars because they were up for Academy Awards because they were movie.

Oh, like they were movie theatrical distribution. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they were movie clips and and they would also also touch into real shit like propaganda during the war. They would also do blackface with some episodes. So it wasn't until the late 60s, early 70s, when the Saturday morning cartoons started coming out, that Looney Tunes started to become a children's cartoon. But before that, it was a straight-up just movie shorts. It wasn't even cartoons. They were just movie shorts.

Right, right. Yeah, they played before actual movies in the theater. Yeah, when you think about it, it's almost more specific to a generation to think of cartoons specifically as a kid's thing because, yeah, like in the 60s, they had the Flintstones, which was like honeymooners, like grown-up shit uh and now like kids growing up now i don't think they would think of cartoons as a specifically kid thing at all right because of cartoon network and adult stuff

like family guy yeah family guy so yeah it might just be like kids who like grew up in the 80s and yeah it was it was like yeah because we also had like nicktoons right like nickelodeon cartoons kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s. It was. We also had Nicktoons. Nickelodeon cartoons. Rugrats and Doug and all that. That's when it was like, oh, these are really for kids. All the claskey, supo classics. Yeah.

You ever drive by that building? Whenever I drive by the building, I always get a little feeling. I do. It makes me happy. The Aureal monsters are on the side. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Ickis and Oblina. Hell yeah. Yo, Oblina could get it, though.

What the fuck? I actually don't know what you're talking about. I'm assuming it's a Rugrats character. No, it's a real monsters character. She's like an amoeba, like a candy cane with lips. That's the ugliest thing. Those things were hideous. Oh, yeah, they were terrible.

I mean, one dude, he held his own eyes. He held his eyes when he had armpit hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those characters were dope. All right, speaking of saying inappropriate, women can get it. We want to jump into the first story of the day. Karen McDougal, who is a Playboy model who had – They would say playmate, Jack. with the president, reiterated something. So there are two now, you know, women involved in the pornography industry who had an affair with the president, and they have exactly one experience in common that is just very, very weirdly specific. And it is that the president compared them to his daughter and said they were pretty like his daughter and just were like – he talked a lot about his daughter.

It was a lot. I remember first with Stormy, that was one of the things about how it seemed like he was really proud of her too, the way he was talking about her, but then was also kind of, how do you compare her to it? He said, he told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful, smart, just like his daughter. Well, that seems innocent enough. But when you know what else, wait, wait, what did he say to Carrie McDougal? He said, I was beautiful like her and you're a smart girl and there wasn't a lot of comparing, but there was some. I heard a lot about her. Now, this is just two pieces of two exhibits, A and B, alongside a lifetime of just him saying wild shit about his daughter. And I think we have some examples of that. and I think we have some examples of that. By the way, your daughter, she's beautiful.

Can I say this? A piece of ass. You know who's one of the greatest beauties of the world, according to everybody, and I helped create her? Who? Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. Yeah. She's six feet tall.

She's got the best body. She's hot. So, Donald, all right, I'm afraid to ask this question, but what would you do if Playboy put Ivanka on the cover of the magazine? It would be really disappointing. Not really. If Ivanka was on the cover of Playboy. That's his right. That's this girl's right.

People assume there'll be nude photos. I don't think Ivanka would do that inside the magazine, although she does have a very nice figure. I said that if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps'd be dating her oh my gosh oh it's so weird don't know what does tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marla's? Well, I think that she's got a lot of Marla. She's a really beautiful baby and she's got Marla's legs. We don't know whether or not she's got this part yet, but time will tell.

Using hands to simulate boobs. Yeah. He was speculating whether his – His daughter was one. Yeah, that's right. The baby was going to have a full chest like his wife. Yeah. Wow.

Okay. So this is – I like how on the view they're like, you're sick, dog. Yeah. That's how people laughed it off. There's also some details about him spanking someone he was having sex with with a magazine that had Ivanka on the cover of it. It also had him on the cover but it's just very specific um he likes to get her involved somehow that is commitment right that's commitment is there any way to see another side of this this these quotes of it being

anything aside from he has this just disturbing incestuous like weird outlook on his own child no there's one thing there's one thing uh that we didn't have in the super cut where they were like what is something that you and ivanka have in common and he's like uh i don't know sex or something like that we like sex yeah and then she makes this face like ah but this guy but it's like what you know but it's like, what? But it looks like she's trying to be a good sport, but is also trying to communicate to the outside world that she is a prisoner. She's like, uh-oh. But her eyes are like, help me.

I can't imagine she likes him as a person. Or she's just really fucked up. I'd hate to think that there's anything more than just him talking crazy about his daughter like that. It's just so disturbing. It's disturbing as shit. Because he's talking like a guy who thinks that that's just some shit you can say. Like, he doesn't even look like, oh, is that weird? He's like, oh, yeah, she's hot.

She's like the hottest woman out there. Like, her body's amazing. I mean, and like, how is Stern just, oh, she's a piece of ass. She is. She's like, how Stern just, oh, she's a piece of ass. Right. She is. She's like, yep. Like, it's almost like I wouldn't be surprised if before they went on air, he was like, talk about how Ivanka is a piece of ass.

Right. Bring that up. I got some good material on that. Yeah. Plug it. Plug that. I've seen it. I've helped make that ass.

Right. Nobody makes asses better than me. So weird, man. Like, you couldn't even talk about my fucking cousin like that in front of me. I'd be like, yo, watch your mouth, man. I'd be like, I'm balling up my fist for some reason, and it's swinging at you. Yeah, it's a, I don't know. Yeah, I don't want to acknowledge how the potential for how dark this situation is.

So I'm trying to just pretend like he's just a weird creepy guy right i don't can you imagine i don't want to speculate any further on this was like obama it's just i mean if they said it it would be like you know this must be part of sharia law to to covet your daughter and all this other weird shit i mean that yeah yeah i don't even know what i don't even know how the right-wing media would spin Obama saying that one of his daughters was hot or had the nicest body. Yeah. Like where they would take that. Just even if he was like, oh, my daughters are very beautiful.

They would probably be like, mm. They would be like, whoa. What does that mean? Easy. So weird. Yeah, he'll be like, and I'm lucky enough to raise two beautiful daughters and they're going to be like – Right. Yeah, yeah.

Whoa. Easy there, Hugh Hefner. See his hand on her shoulder? Yeah. As opposed to Trump who put his hand on his daughter's ass. Yeah, and she's like, get your hand off me. Right. She smacked it away.

Yeah, and Jackie, to your point, talking about, talking about like she can't like him. There's this Facebook post that went viral back around the election. Somebody who went to pen with Donald Trump Jr. and was saying that a couple of things were different about him back back then. One, he wasn't like the smooth, dapper guy that he is today. They called him diaper Don because he was like, so shit faced all the time that he was constantly pissing himself. But the other thing was that he just openly talked about how much he hated his dad. So like there,

there is that potential that like they are one way in front of the cameras and then behind the cameras, they're just like this fucking ass. Well, I mean, but he clearly, he clearly favors Ivanka, you know, out of all the kids and also there was a another thing i forget what it was he was being interviewed and they're like oh so what's your relationship like you're

with your dad he's like you know to be honest i i try not to bother him and he was basically describing in a relationship where he does not speak to his dad because he doesn't like he was trying to spin it as he's really busy and he doesn't have time. I don't want to distract him to sort of like I don't really fuck with my dad. Yeah. This is how that energetically read. I mean the forgotten Trump. Tiffany.

Yeah. Like she literally doesn't fuck with him. Yeah. During the RNC, there was that sort of cut-together thing about like what a normal everyday guy donald trump was and uh tiffany talked about how one time he called her because her friend had died and he like talked to her for like a couple minutes yeah i mean he the he was so caring that's a story that you would maybe tell about if like you had an acquaintance who was like a famous person and you were just like – it was so crazy. He's so thoughtful.

He like called me when my best friend died. And you could tell he cared. Right. Like you don't say that. You don't describe your – like a familial relationship like, yeah, and I could tell my mother cared. Right. Like you know or you don't. When my best friend died. describe your like a familial relationship like right and i could tell my mother cared right like you know or you don't when my best friend died he had five minutes to give me right he used it to tell me yeah um he's so generous i mean wow i'm really fortunate and apparently there's an

interview super producer nick stump was just saying there's a interview where ivanka is doing the same thing she's uh just gushing about what a great dad she has and she says that when she was away at boarding school, she would call her dad collect and he would always accept the charges. Wow. What a good guy. So I feel

like that's one of the things that you only brag about if you know that he didn't accept the charges from some of your other siblings or something. That's an of the things that you only brag about if you know that he didn't accept the charges from like some of your other siblings or something. Yeah, that's an exceptional moment. Well, he always accepted my collect calls. Right, exactly. Don Jr. would have to say everything he wanted to say before the collect call.

It's like you have a call from, Dad, sorry, I pissed myself and I'm about to get kicked out of school. Can you come pick me up? Or I got to pay $10,000 so I don't get kicked out. Do you accept? No. Don't pick me up or I got to pay $10,000 so I don't get kicked up. Do you accept? No.

Yeah. Part of that anecdote from the guy who went to Penn with him was that Donald Trump came to pick Don Jr. up at his dorm. And they were going to a Yankees game. And Don Jr. came to the door in a Yankees jersey. And Donald Trump slapped him so hard he fell over and was like, put on a suit and meet me in the limo and then walked out like this because, you know, you don't you don't wear a fucking Yankees. You don't go to a Yankee game looking like a fan. Yeah. Fuck out of here. Apparently, the Ivanka story goes on to say that she was like and it wasn't a long conversation.

And, you know, he'd put me on speaker with whoever was in the room with him so it was like that's because he could just put on mute that's rude as fuck yeah that's so rude he goes hold on ivanka i'm gonna put you on speaker with uh you know whoever the michael cone and everyone else yeah talking and then she's talking so daddy blah blah it's on mute and he's just going back to yeah so anyway like i was saying or he's like listen to her there, so anyway, like I was saying. Or he's like, listen to her. Listen to how hot the voice is. Isn't she a piece of ass? That's not being edited. That's real. That's in vivo.

In vivo. All right. Hey, guys. That's our president. That is our fucking president. All right. When we come back, we'll talk about shit that actually matters when it comes to our president. I've been thinking about you. matters when it comes to our president. like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110.

120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. And, you know, we had some news come through the transom late last evening that is probably the worst news. As bad as things have been up to this point, it's not sensational news. It's just yet another person is being replaced in his cabinet by someone else. But it's not dramatic, but it's really bad for everyone who's listening to this.

When you consider the position and you consider the person entering the position right it is frightening so we found out yesterday that hr mcmaster who's the current national security advisor that he will be resigning i think effective like april 9th and from that point on john bolton will be taking over as the nsa uh as a national security advisor and i think mcmaster the reason that he's leaving is because, you know, he had a note that said on this Putin call, do not congratulate him on the election win because that shit was fixed. And we're not like in the hey, good work, buddy point in the relationship. And, you know, as we know, the Trump, the president just could not resist. Now, John Bolton is the scariest motherfucker you could imagine to put into this position next to maybe like Magneto or like an actual character who doesn't exist because this man is such a fucking hawk and has such a boner to bomb the shit out of every single country like let's walk people through why john bolton is the scary pick for national security yeah so i mean you probably first heard of him if you're at all old you probably first heard of him when he was the

ambassador of the un i think uh for the bush administration and he was one of the UN, I think, for the Bush administration. And he was one of the largest proponents for the war in Iraq and the idea that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. His quotes are like, we are confident that Saddam Hussein has hidden weapons of mass destruction. Now, the thing that separates him is that now everybody from the bush administration is embarrassed about having made that blunder and you know people on the right point to the mistake of going to war in iraq as you know i've heard should we call it a mistake though still i do going to war yeah that was not a mistake you know what i mean like if it was a deliberate it was a deliberate yeah invasion for very dark purposes that was not revealed to the people fighting you know what i mean like it i think like we have this sort of like hindsight view of the iraq war being this

mistake that we've we've kind of fell into when we knew from the onset that were there were many people many stakeholders who were going to benefit from this, and they did. Right. It's almost like, oh, man, we shouldn't have done that. But they knew that. We should have done that. But then what about that check, though? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But he is the only person who still says that we should have gone to war in Iraq, whereas everybody else says, yeah, that was a mistake. We shouldn't have gone. The intelligence was faulty. He stands by it he's like no good we we did good well he has to because he completely misrepresented the facts to go along with his narrative of the oh they got weapons of mass destruction therefore right we must invade yeah so uh and now as recently as three weeks ago, he wrote a article for The Wall Street Journal laying out a justification, a legal justification for preemptively bombing North Korea. This is three weeks ago. like bomb them so that they, you know, because if they continue their weapons program, they will be able to bomb us. And therefore, we should just be able to bomb them right now.

It's not a legal argument so much as just like a fear based argument that he's making. And, yeah, this is who's going to be in charge of, who's going to be in the president's ear as he prepares for the meeting with North Korea. Yeah, he's very – yeah, sorry. With the North Korea thing too, that meeting, it's – with someone like this, it's starting to see like how that – those talks might shape up. Right. Like based on how John Bolton is thinking because he would love to just go into these talks, come in with their chests out, not really trying to fuck with diplomacy at all and be like, okay, you need to fully denuclearize

or, you know, that's all and that's it. We're not, if you don't want that, then it's on. And if they don't, then they're going to come back and say, hey, we tried. We tried to negotiate with them. So I guess our only option because they're basically a nuclear threat is to preemptively strike now.

Right. There's nothing that fears me more than the thought of Donald Trump going into a room to prevent nuclear war. Right. And in his mind, he's like, I got that thing on me. Like the US nuclear arsenal is lit. So you know what I mean? Like he's also probably has confidence that he shouldn't just based on the capabilities of our military. Well, I have something to add to your fear because he won't be the craziest person on his side coaching him.

That's sad. Because when Obama was trying to have talks with North Korea, most of the right media, this is a mistake. You don't go talk to dictators, blah, blah, blah. But now it's being seen as – Look at the peacemaker. The dealmaker. Yeah. What a great super cut uh that i tweeted uh retweeted the other day that is fox news talking about the fact that obama had even suggested that he would sit down with the leader of north korea

right the idea of that being like this guy is he's unhinged he's the antichrist yeah he really like we can't we can't trust a noob like that to and then them talking about Trump succeeding and doing the same thing that Obama said he might do under the right circumstances. And they're like this guy. He is a true American hero. It's it's truly incredible to see. Well, what's crazy is even like, you know, they tried to I forget what position he was. He couldn't he was unconfirmable like a few years ago i think maybe in 2006 uh he was trying to they were uh bush was trying to get him like i forget which

cabinet position but the senators were like no this guy's a fucking psycho like absolutely not and this is the this is why he's in this position because you do not have to be confirmed you don't need senate confirmation to be the national security advisor uh and when you look at sort of like the way he sees the any kind of strike on north korea playing out it is crazy he's like we need a decapitation which is just basically take out kim jong-un or we need to totally fuck up their nuclear facilities or bomb like a test site before and then when they're like yeah but what about all that artillery pyongyang has aimed directly at seoul that's like near the demilitarized zone? He's like, well, there will be like – there will be some collateral damage or whatever.

He's like, but we should also make sure we take out as much as that artillery before – like as part of the bigger strike. So like in his mind, the people that are actually like an actual – who are in danger, he's not even considering because, again, this is someone like Trump who avoided Vietnam. He clearly knew the Vietnam War. He's a draft dodger. Yeah, the Vietnam War was clearly scary enough for him to be like, no, I'm not fucking with that. But he has no problem then talking like this crazy shit like, yeah, we'll just – we'll have – China will join in when they see what's going on. He thinks China is going to help. Like this man has some really uh he's completely

divorced from no nobody agrees with him like he's not he's not part of a like school of thought like i guess he's part of the neocon school of thought but they are no longer taken seriously right like people now know that like it's not a good idea to just go into war unilaterally right and uh he's still out here you know claiming that's a good idea and when we call him a like a monster we're not exaggerating there are stories about scales and wings he is personally like a really bad person uh so there was a former federal contractor named melody townsville uh raised issues surrounding the use of funds in a contract that Bolton was working on when they were both staying in this Russian hotel. at her, pushing threatening letters under her door, just shouting at her, pounding on her door for two weeks while they were like, so she was just waiting for a company to tell her what to do.

He's and there's testimony from at least five people confirming multiple instances of Bolton behaving abusively towards subordinates and retaliating against intelligence professionals. Who challenged his policy positions. Right. Which are crazy. Right. Yeah, so of course. And that's exactly what he – this was about to happen.

Right. And with H.R. McMaster in Politico, there's like a story about how apparently he would mock H.R. McMaster for like talking too long and then like look at other people in the Oval Office during the briefing and be like, dude, why is this guy so serious? Right. He's so fucking serious because he's the national security advisor. Yeah. The fate of thousands and thousands of lives hang in the balance of the shit he's talking about. Millions. Millions.

And now he's got one of his favorite characters from his favorite fucking TV show, Fox and Friends. Right. This guy is a Fox commentator. He's been on 18 times just in this calendar year. That's insane. And like which – whatever. I mean like that might not be a lot in the grand scheme of things. But he's constantly been in Trump's reality of sort of the non-fact-based like world of Fox News where wars are easy to win and they have no real humanitarian costs at

all. We need like other media. We need like MSNBC to start saying very nice things about Donald Trump. So he'll start watching it. But I mean, like, oh, I like this. But then actually get Rachel Maddow becomes his chief of staff right or or just like see or like it obviously he doesn't care what he's watching he just cares that these people like him right and like they're the channel that supports him right and they champion him so that's why he's

watching and glued to the television uh He would watch anything if people – Yeah, as long as he's not triggered or meant to be self-aware in a moment and look at his own mistakes or flaws as a person. Yeah. I mean we're in the middle of a period of unprecedented peace. number of people whose lives are lost in war it's just gone down and down to levels that and for lengths of time that people didn't think were possible uh you know and and during as recently as the 20th century right uh and the reason for that is because people like this were not in power people who are just good at turning human lives into abstractions. That seems to be his main thing is he thinks about policy as though human lives are just numbers on a spreadsheet.

Yeah, like he's playing Risk or something. Right, which is easy because he never went to war. He fucking avoided it because he's a coward. Yeah, but it's also crazy. And I feel like you don't necessarily have to even go to war to know that that's probably not a great option right i mean like that you at least conceptually understand that war will result in the loss of life loss of life i'm not going to war yeah i was another thing i was saying like yeah jack asked me about my google search history to find out how to know about me i searched like what's the what's the age limit for

the draft yeah it's 26 so 26 yeah for at least for like back when people were talking about it who knows i mean anyway but the bottom line is like this is again when you also think about with north korea right it's not a situation where north korea is like you know it's not north korea isn't like to the north of us like canada or something we're like you know we got to take this threat is on our doorstep that threat is on the doorstep of south korea and japan and those countries will bear the brunt of any kind of retaliatory military action because they're the closest and they have the weapons to actually do that shit and we stage a lot of uh a lot of our military equipment and troops and things in the surrounding areas and like so when they ask him, in this article he was talking about the legal justification for striking first,

and as he's addressing the threat of all of the artillery that's aimed at Seoul, he was like, well, obviously any military attack must therefore neutralize as much of the North's retaliatory capability as possible. And the U.S. should obviously seek South Korea's agreement and Japan's before using force, but no foreign government, even a close ally, can veto an action to protect Americans from Kim Jong-un's nuclear weapons. So already he's saying like, yeah, you should, but at the end of the day, we will act unilaterally if need be. Now, again, I guess the only thing, you know, that can make me even get the slightest bit of peace of mind when I think about it is like, well, he has to convince the president. And clearly there'll be other people in the room who will probably not totally be lockstep with John Bolton's policy.

But, you know, at the same time, I think it's even more it's more important for the media to be vigilant and begin. the media to be vigilant and begin if the war drums are really starting to be beaten like that that people realize what's going on and can really begin to put pressure on congress or whoever to just somehow signal to these people that you know this we're not fucking with this uh but again it's very scary because again this is the dude who loves to just do whatever the fuck he wants to because we have the threat of the u.s military I mean the one thing that I just don't understand is what is the end game? What's the end game with this administration? What's the end game? Because before the whole tax thing happened and they got their – the Republicans got their tax plan, the thing was, oh, well, they're just putting up with Trump so they can pass the tax plan that they've always wanted to pass for the past however many years.

Right. That happened. So now what's the end game? Like why is this still okay? Like what is motivating the Paul Ryans and the Mitch McConnells besides – I mean look. This is obviously a rhetorical question. We know the answer. I mean, look, this is obviously a rhetorical question.

We know the answer. Right. But is it really worth us going to war or nuclear fucking war? I don't know. I don't get it. Because a lot of defense analysts and people from real super analytical think tanks around defense are just saying, like, my God, the worst case scenario is just a full-on nuclear war. Yeah. And they can see, like, we can see how that's possible. saying like my god like the worst case scenario is like just a full-on nuclear war yeah and like they they can see like we can see how that's possible we can see how these talks could go

south and they use that as the pretext for a strike and then you know with them what from there there are these generals from the 60s that you'll read about if you read anything about like the kennedy administration or the early days of the vietnam, who were, you know, it was only 20 years from the, you know, bombs that were dropped on Japan to end World War Two. And they wanted to use nuclear weapons again, they were like itching to use nuclear weapons again. And like, that was what they were pushing for was for us to drop nuclear weapons on Vietnam to end the war and just be like, ha-ha, we win. And it's like one of those people time-traveled to the present and is just like, yeah, I still want to use nuclear weapons. Like what are we doing here?

We have all these beautiful nuclear weapons. Yeah, because I think for someone like that that it's like they it's like this weird nationalistic shame of like getting caught in a war that drags on when we have such a vicious device of war that is capable yes of catastrophic shit yeah but that is like no one wants that like you don't want to you're not we don't need to flex up to the point where it's like oh well we're gonna vaporize your shit right the one good thing that can be said about nuclear weapons is that it's been a deterrent for going to larger scale war because everyone's like, well, we don't want to end the world, right? Right. And then there's this crazy motherfucker who's like, what?

Why not? Why not? My button is bigger than yours. Right. Trust me. And also when you're used to your status keeping you alive while other people go and die in your place right like that's also how things tend to work when there is you know let's look at how things work when there's a hurricane

you know poor people are the people who die and rich people are the people who then come in in the aftermath and get huge contracts to rebuild the infrastructure. And that's probably how they think about wars as well. I mean there's money in death. Right. Unfortunately. There's money in destruction. Yeah.

And again, you can boil – you can distill his worldview and foreign policy down to bomb everybody, which is like Iran. Including Iran. He's really got a fucking hard-on to bomb the shit out of iran too he just doesn't man the guy is just hell-bent on like just you know taking on like rogue regimes and bombing them into submission yeah um and that's just i i don't yeah i'm like i don't know what the fuck to say yeah i just hope that nothing no shit goes out of the weekend like i i don't know i don't know i don't know what the fuck to say. Yeah. I just hope that no shit goes down over the weekend. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. When is this meeting supposed to happen? Do we know yet? By May. By May. I mean, the one thing that people are thinking might happen is because he's such a puffed up hard on. you know, puffed up hard on like he is going to, you know, get the president to say shit that is going to, you know, make make it so they can't meet anymore because there will be like a war of words.

Right. Which I don't who knows if that's going to be good or bad because everything's so just completely fucking chaotic at this point. And every person who has ever said anything reasonable to the president is leaving right uh it's the the most turnover that i've seen yeah it's like circuit city was about to go out of business uh like oh man you have to bring that up it's too soon man it man. It's too soon. Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.

Isn't there another general who's like still there that – Mattis? Yeah, Mattis. Yeah, with Secretary of Defense. Yeah, I mean like – The guy we're counting on to be reasonable is nicknamed Mad Dog. Mad Dog Mattis. Yeah, Mad Dog Mattis is like our last hope for a reason. Have someone who understands what it means to move personnel and equipment across the world and what war means.

You know what I mean? Right. It's not just playing risk. But again, if you've ever said anything reasonable to the president, he will just mock you for being reasonable and you're out. Right. They think part of the thing that spurred his removal slash resignation was that he had put this memo together saying, do not call Putin to congratulate him. And the president just ignored that and called Putin and congratulated him. And then it was leaked to the media potentially by McMaster that the president had done this and the president was furious that it was time for muller to end the uh investigation and you know or for uh rosenstein to fire muller and i at the time i was like who the fuck is this guy like what

wasn't he supposed to be the guy who was like telling the president to cooperate right and he so he had been the guy who was telling the president to cooperate. He was telling him basically do not tweet anything directly at Mueller. Keep his name out your mouth. And do not agree to a direct interview. And the president keeps being like, no, I can do an interview. I can do an interview if I want. I'm going to nail it. So my theory is that Dowd tweeted that because he was basically – didn't want the president to do it himself essentially. He was like, here, I'll tweet this statement.

And then when people were like, wait, what the fuck? Why are you tweeting that? He kind of backed off. The president was like, oh, this guy – like the president was basically mad at him for backing off of saying that Mueller should be fired. And so, yeah, it's just – it's impossible to be a person who's on the side of reason and work for this man. And so, I mean that's got to be our hope is that the administration just brings itself down from the inside, just self-destructs before they're able to end the world. They're getting very sloppy. Well, you think about it too.

The guy that's coming in now, John DiGenova or whatever, I think is his name, who is another Fox guy who is a quote-unquote lawyer but based on his corduroy jackets and never wearing a tie. I doubt what kind of legal acumen he has but you know he's now his legal counsel is now people just telling him what he wants to hear that is not that is not a sound legal strategy because you don't know what you are doing and if you only have lawyers who are like yeah yeah that's good that's good that's good you eventually will have to bump up against the actual law uh and no matter no matter what – no matter how much encouragement you get from your sycophant lawyers, it's – I can't see how that ends in any kind of legal victory for him. Right. In any way.

I don't think he's going anywhere though. I mean I don't know what's going to happen. We don't – I mean who knows what the fuck will happen. Even if he gets indicted, the republican they're not gonna impeach him i don't who knows yeah i don't it's again it's i know that almost seems like the least of our worries now because now it's like okay well now throw this whole john bolton mess onto the fire and like see how that shakes now isn't i mean he is surrounding himself it seemed like when he first made his administration and high and like a lot of people were hired late.

It was the most unorganized transition from one president to another in recent memory from what I've read. But he just surrounded himself with people who were complimentary of him, it seemed like. But then when they started working with this man and they saw and then he starts seeing, oh, these people aren't as complimentary. They're actually saying no. Right. Let me go find me more yes men. Yeah. And –

It's like the same thing when like certain rappers become whack. You know what I mean? Where they fuck up their formula because they get a bunch of people around there gassing them up like they're still dope and not being challenged artistically or to like do something they're like yeah no this is lit this is lit and i think this happens with any like artists too when your creative process can get tainted because you get lazy and you only want to hear stuff that supports your idea that you don't have to really challenge yourself it's not a mistake that uh after like the two people who are got so famous that they built themselves things that had – like homes that had like entire parks around them, Graceland and Neverland. Right. Like didn't last another decade.

Right. They're fucking basically self-destructed because they're just completely insulated from reality. And then reality shows up. Yeah. And then – But that's the thing about reality. It shows up. It will knock on your door.

It's a show. They right shows up it will knock on your door it's a show they have shows about it right we're just hoping it doesn't end up uh being reality showing up in the form of you know nuclear war yeah because california would be the first to go i know that's what they say yeah los angeles in particular that's who Kim is going to take out first. Take out all the Hollywood stars. Take out all of us in the room. Yeah. The Hollywood elite in this room. Right, exactly.

And, uh man it's crazy that that's how scary that motherfucker is uh john bolton we made it through that entire thing without talking about his ridiculous mustache once we were just like that didn't even come up once i think because the consequences are so alarming that right his physical features it

doesn't even fucking matter it doesn't matter that as you said he looks like one of the old muppets yes i forget what they're called he super does there's also a great uh everybody needs to find that super producer anna hosnia is showing us where he's like being operated like a puppet by one of the uh fox and friends people yeah like on like a torso device like a spinner something yeah but you know it's funny about the mustache there's there's a story about how the reason why he didn't join the white house sooner is because trump thought his mustache looked whack as fuck yeah he's not wrong but could you god damn it couldn't his vanity just fucking keep us from war just this

time i'm sorry man your mustache is fucking weird bro yeah we have to like hope that his vanity and like other vices overrule his bad decision making yeah i hope because it'll be fascinating that sometime i hope i'm still alive in 10 years because they are going to make like that O.J. Simpson documentary. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like American Horror Story. Like a seven-piece – not even a – like the documentary that was like seven hours. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. About this presidency?

About this presidency. And it is going to be fascinating. I'm sorry. If you're doing that, you have to be starting that now. You do. be fascinating. I'm sorry, if you're doing that, you have to be starting that now. There is so much information and so many clips that would make that really piece it together that unless you're on top of it as it's happening, like contemporaneously,

I don't know how you're going to do it after the fact. Like mine through, because you think about what happens in a week. And how, my god, the fucking documentary would be more than like, it would probably be like a three year epic. There was times during Obama's presidency where I didn't hear the name Obama or think about Obama for weeks. Yeah.

Right. And I can't go longer than six days without hearing about some fucked up shit about. Six days? What, are you going to the desert and throwing your phone out? Yeah, dude. I go to the desert. I throw my phone out. Oh, shit. Okay. Well, that sounds good. And then when I find it, it's some shit about Trump. It go to the desert. I throw my phone out. Oh, shit.

Okay, well, that sounds good. And then when I find it, it's some shit about Trump. It's all lit up. It's all Trump everything. When I emerge six days later. Blessed are those who live in uninteresting times. Yeah. I never really knew what that meant until this presidency.

So we wanted to check in with Google before we went to the Bloid Watch. Bloid Watch. This is the Google Trends Watch. Just a couple of things that caught our eye. There is the number one story this morning was that a family from Iowa was found dead in their condo in Tulum, Mexico. And I got some violent shit. So I thought it was some violent shit. It was just they think it was a gas leak.

So I don't know why it's like the number one trending story on america's subconscious uh scary because if you just add the headline like iowa family dead mexico yeah yeah it's so those are actually the words that were trending oh really yeah yeah um build the wall that's that's those are the people who are clicking that yeah and tulum uh you were saying that you think it's like this sort of attempt to me like well obviously aside from the tragedy clearly like i mean the horrible thing to have in this family but i was i was saying my first reaction to loom is like it's the most overly instagram thing i see in my feed right i feel like every motherfucker i've ever known has is in tulum right now or has been to tulum in the last three i I don't know, 18 months.

I haven't. I don't know. I mean, I just see people going there and I'm like, wow, another person in Tulum. I went like five, six years ago. I had a blast. Before it got all corporate. Yeah, I don't know. It definitely had that feeling that it was like right on the edge of being like.

Yeah. But none of the roads are paved. It's like all sand and shit. And like once we like pulled up in our car and parked in this like basically beach, we never touched like pavement for the whole time we were there. We were just on beach the whole time. That's awesome. And – So did you sleep in a tent?

No, in like a hut type thing though. Oh, like a palapa or something? Yeah, yeah. Okay. And there are a bunch of really good restauranteurs who like went down there on vacation. Right. And were like, this is dope and never came back. And like, so it's all these like great Brooklyn restaurants that were just like transported down there.

And so it has one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever eaten at. Okay. Weirdly. But yeah, I haven't been there in a long time and apparently it's getting well it's just getting more yeah and they say like the cenotes and stuff like since there's so many tourists like pollution is starting to kind of fuck with the area i mean again like do whatever you want but yeah cenotes just in an observation cenotes are like these pools and caves basically cave lakes that you swim down in.

It's fucking dope. I mean, that seems amazing. Oh, yeah. I mean, look, the pictures are lit. I don't recommend it. I get why people go to flex on the gram. Yeah. I need to go.

And then the only other thing on Google Trends that caught my eye was Elon Musk deleted Facebook, like the Facebook pages of Tesla and SpaceX uh like someone dared him to someone was like come on elon musk it's time delete facebook because that's the thing that's trending right now and tesla and spacex i had millions of likes and like millions of followers it was probably like a huge part of his social media team's like strategy and no doubt it was yeah no definitely and he was like ah we have a facebook presence sure i'll delete it because someone dared me to he he more and more just seems like he is a character from the hbo show uh fucking silicon silicon valley like he just is he is that that's such a petty move though too just to, just to flex on Mark Zuckerberg. Like, fuck, watch this, bro.

Fuck you. I'm deleting it. Taking my millions of likes somewhere else. Also. Off platform. This is why you don't give your CEO the passwords. Right. Right.

Like, why does he have the passwords to the Facebook page? Those people must be – like, imagine if you were the person – because you know there's someone whose job was to oversee the tesla yeah spacex facebook pages that's a job is that person fired now he's like i'm so sorry that's not a job yeah yeah probably i bet you on moscow musky price shades mark zuckerberg is like oh you're still fucking with like earth-based things they feature heavily in the new yorker article about how shitty it is to be a woman in the tech industry tesla features heavily oh i can imagine yeah uh it's a boys club type shit uh earth is a boys club sadly right jessica jones

you aha weeks thank you we'll see you in two weeks i'll see you in two weeks uh and this is where i tell you guys that i will the be the co-host of this show. Welcome, Jack East, as always. All right, let's get into Bloid Watch. Really, not a whole lot going on new. We've talked about just them trying to force Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston together out of just sheer tyranny of will, like just talking about it. So they have on the cover of Star Magazine this week, a blurry, like tabloid style paparazzi picture of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, like kissing in the shadows. And so it's happened.

A huge headline. It says they're back on. That picture is from back when they used to be together like 13 years ago. And all they have about them being back on is a pal quote. They keep talking like referring to a pal who tells Star that George Lopez, not Clooney, got them back together and they say, while a rep for George denies Starr's story, the insider insists that Brad and Jen are over the moon that he's brought them back together. But it's just somebody on their editorial staff to make up these quotes that allow them to put old pictures of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston kissing on the cover of their magazine. Wow. What you got, Miles? Well, I guess to go off that narrative, the epic saga of the Angelina, Brad, and Jen triangle, the cover on InTouch is secret dinner disaster.

Jen humiliated after reaching out to Angelina. Things turn frosty in minutes. Angie refuses to apologize for stealing Brad. Friends warn Jen, you'll regret it. And there's a picture of, wow, Jennifer Aniston walking away while Angelina Jolie looks like she's creeping up behind her. Looks like she's just like, oh, I just read you. So this must be true. There's no way that's Photoshopped.

Yeah, I don't know. Again, there's only like one and a half pages worth of stuff, and it's all like rehashing old information just for like one thing of they apparently met up. And I don't agree with it. Also, Us Weekly talking more about Aubrey O'Day and Donald Trump Jr.'s secret affair and how Vanessa Trump, his soon-to-be ex-wife, put the five-year-old daughter on the phone when she called Aubrey on some real life. Oh, look at that shape. Yeah, on some the boy is mine, the boy is mine, the boy is mine type stuff. And I mean we already talked about that. Also, there's a new track from Aubrey O'Day that emerged from around the same period of time when she was, uh, having an affair with Donald Trump Jr.

It's called, yes, I am having an affair with Donald Trump Jr. The DJT stands for Donald Trump Jr. Donald John Trump. Donald John Trump. Uh, but this one is a cover of Gautier's Somebody That I Used To Know. Oh, really? But she altered a few lyrics about how like, you know, you were crazy for this like sex or whatever.

It's – It's called DJ TJ. Yeah. It's all very transparent. Now, back to the more salacious magazines like the National Enquirer, typical stuff. Justin Theroux's cocaine arrest scandal, what Jen doesn't know. Doubt anything happened. anything happened right uh but the one thing on the bottom classic propaganda technique what about ism uh in the midst of you know yeah the president being embroiled in all these sort of uh infidelities

and sexual harassment uh scandals the bottom is all the president's women sex cover-ups exposed where they're basically being like well what about nixon lbj jfk and other stories we're going to make up to make the president seem less shitty. Although all those presidents were fucking – they were all fucking around. But I mean like again, it's – but it's a classic diversionary tactic to sort of – when you juxtapose that with the current situation. Right. Well, look. I mean what about these guys too? Yeah, and the National Enquirer was also totally cool when President Clinton was fucking around.

Right. Yeah. They were fine with that. And they were the people – again, American Media Inc. who owns all these.id pecker is the one that karen mcdougall uh got the catch and kill like they bought her story which is why she couldn't talk about right he's really good friends with president trump a lot of the stories seem to be written directly by president trump just based on the language and the way they're written they're like written in his voice. And they are – their editorial agenda seems to be what did President Trump tell us to make up on the phone today. It's like Omarosa is a backstabbing meanie.

She's a backstabbing meanie. She can't read. Did you know that? She's illiterate. Right. Then in the National Examiner, finally, world exclusive, Chelsea Clinton to Hillary. Get a divorce. He'll never stop cheating. Oh, world-exclusive Chelsea Clinton to Hillary. Get a divorce. He'll never stop cheating.

Oh, man. Which, you know. That's probably true. That's probably true, but I don't know. But again, the inside is like former first daughters disgusted with Bill's sordid sex shenanigans. I love the alliteration, always. In this one, they're trying to suggest that maybe he bedded Naomi Campbell? What?

All right, Bill. Shout out to the President Clinton. the again this is completely sensationalized fiction uh so again they're just trying to say look you know anything to paint uh hillary clinton in a terrible situation and then also uh the other one jody foster crippled for life and then in very small print underneath friends fear right jackies it has been such a blast having you as always.
