I'm going to use this opportunity to give you the Oxford. I actually, I heard that Jack isn't here today because he's campaigning for Mike Bloomberg. We're not supposed to talk about political endorsements on here, but I just happen to know that that is where Jack is right now. He's knocking on doors. That Rolls Royce SUV he pulled up in, it's nice. I'm not going to lie. Listen, that was, yeah, and that was just the advance. Yeah.

The Daily Zeitgeist logo pops out from the hood rather than the angel. Yeah. It's really nice. I mean, can't blame him. Anyway, so that means my guest co-host today is one of the faces upon my Mount Zeitmore itself, herself. Please welcome the great guest co-host, the great frequent podcast guest, Miss Jamie Loftus.

You know, that's up for the Zeitgang to decide. So, without further ado, please welcome our guest today in our third seat, the hilarious and talented, the wonderful, the beautiful, the scam goddess herself, Miss Lacey Mosley. Hey, what an introduction, Miles. Yes. Wow. Can you come with me everywhere? Keep my personal flavor plate.

Well, since you have that airwolf hat in here, I just want to let you know how we feel about you. Listen, it's fine. I'm sorry. It's fine. I came in here wearing the wrong colors. I'm so sorry. Nah, it's all good. It's all good. All good, baby, baby. fine. I'm sorry. It's fine. I came in here wearing the wrong colors. I'm so sorry. Nah, it's all good.

It's all good. All good, baby, baby. Just take that shit off. It's good. No, much love to you. Thank you for coming to the show. How are you?

It's been a minute since I've seen you. I'm Gucci. Yes, it's good to be here. I always love being here. How's your life been? Your stories are always a vibe, a wave, a moment?

I know. It seems that way. But I also do spend a couple days just in my house, shut up like an 18th century pregnant woman on thread rest, just with the curtains drawn. You went to that Britney Spears room thing. I did. That's actually my search history.

Yo, my favorite part was when you're on the toxic set, whipping your hair around, and then seeing the people behind you who you didn't know. And we're just like, I guess I'm in this woman's shot. But you were like, fuck it. I don't give a fuck. That was the whole point of the place. That's actually my search history today.

Oh, OK. Well, we'll get to that in a moment. Before we do that, before we get to know you even better, let's tell people what we're going to be talking about. Judge Judy ending after 25 seasons. We'll get into that. It's not all sadness. It's a lot of madness financially if we're talking about it. She got enough money. Yeah.

Public Enemy and Flavor Flav, a bit of a breakup after they performed at the Bernie Sanders rally in Los Angeles on Sunday. What else? Okay. At this point, I think the last time we recorded, we didn't know what happened in South Carolina. We found out. And boy, there are many ripple effects that have occurred out of that. Maybe touch on Michael Bloomberg because he finally, I think, is starting to apologize maybe for some of his past remarks that were seen as like harassment.

Then we'll kind of look at Michael Bloomberg, the commander in chief, the man who's in charge when things are going wrong and just see how he you know how he's held up in instances like that. We'll also get into a little bit of a memorial for James Lipton, who passed away. Chili's is the opposite of passing away. They're turning 45, and they want you to know. It's very obvious. And a little bit of an amendment, if you will, on the corona beard. People thinking it has something to do with coronavirus nonsense. It's all just a really cynical press release that everybody jumped

onto without reading. Good for them. And that is the theme of this year. That's the theme. I was like, that's the theme of this lifetime. Exactly. What is that? Okay, we'll make that news. Oh, I didn't read the article. Sorry. Shit, I'm guilty of that here. Just like the CDC thing with the beards,

that wasn't to do with... I liked it, though. As someone who can't grow a beard, I was like, great. I liked the interpretation of it. Yeah, thank you. Y'all, it's Super Tuesday. So if you're in a state, please get your ass out and vote. And please vote for the vulnerable, the working poor, the people who we try to defend as good neighbors.

And just a reminder, I forget this every voting cycle, but you can take your phone with you into the voting booth. You don't got to memorize shit. No. Pull your phone up. Yeah. For almost every city, there's a progressive voters guide. You can just Google it, usually.

It's very accessible, very easy to do. And then I voted this morning, well, this being Monday. And yeah, I just had my phone in there for 15 minutes because I'm dumb and it took me a while. But I got through. Yeah, just get your cheat sheet and make the right choice. And the person at the polling place I was at this morning was Zyking. No, they were not. They literally were.

And they were like, wait, are you? What? I love the Daily Zyka. I'm not joking. This morning. Can you multiply your vote by 3,000? My votes count extra now. Hell yeah.

That's pretty crazy. If you're Zeitgang and you work at a- He's like, here's five ballots. Get in there. Do your thing. Zeitgang's not just voting at the polls. They're operating the polls. We're manipulating the votes.

Okay, y'all? That's how powerful this second-hand, second-rate podcast is. Oh, it made me so happy. Liking up before 8am. Also I just want to give a very warm thank you again to everybody who came out to all of the live shows in San Francisco Portland, Oregon

Brooklyn, New York Washington the District of Columbia Minneapolis, Chicago, Toronto every fucking performance was blessed and it was so nice the District of Columbia, Minneapolis, Chicago, Toronto. Every fucking performance was blessed. And it was so nice to see people and hearing everybody come up and say

why they like the show helps us do this shit every day so you have something to listen to. So thank you to y'all. And thank you to Anna for holding us down and making sure we did not pass away during the tour. Shut it up! Sometimes we were forgetting shit. Okay, now, to the show.

To the show. Where are we at? Oh, Lacey. Why don't you tell us a little bit about something from your search history that is revealing about who you are. So it actually is the Britney Spears zone. You just searched Britney Spears zone? I did.

That's how it started. That's how I ended up going there. Where was it? So I got an Instagram targeted ad, and I said, oh, bitch, this is for me. Like, y'all done got into bitch thoughts, and you know the girl. So I was like, absolutely,

I will buy things suggested to me. This was in West Hollywood, so I got tickets for me and my friend Liz. We went to West Hollywood, and I thought that I was going to be in and out because like, you know, I'm an Instagram girl. I'm putting up the swimsuit pics. I'm putting up the, you know what I mean? Like I get on the gram and I do it for. Yeah, for the gram.

For the gram. And so I went there with her. She does it more for the gram than I do. Oh, really? Yeah. Wait, you were with more than you? Way more than me, which is why we love each other because it's like we're just going to take pictures of each other and we're not going to judge each other and we're going to spend most of the time on the phone. But we are going to talk to each other, but we are also going to engage in our thoughts.

Because I'll be having friends who will be like, enjoy the moment, live life. I'm like, bitch, I am living. Yeah. Not in a place like that. It's also designed for Instagram. I'm in trend. Literally. Yeah.

Explain to the listeners what the zone is. So the Britney Spears zone. So if you live in a city, then you've already seen these kind of pop-ups like Candy World or whatever the fuck. Yeah, like Sneaker Fuck. Yeah, where you go and there's like some kind of emporium or some kind of building that they've transformed with a lot of Instagrammable moments. So, you know, you've seen everybody in a ball pit. You've seen the girls on the swings. You've seen the girls, you know, with the sprinkles in a ball pit. You've seen the girls on the swings. You've seen the girls,

you know, with the sprinkles. With the sprinkles, yes. That everybody has sneezed on. Everyone. That's Sprinkle Pit. Yeah, that's where you get corona for sure.

The coronavirus is strong in the head space, yeah. So we've all seen these and I think that they're, they blew up in popularity and now it's starting to dwindle because it's like we all end up

with the same content and nobody wants to post the same, like, like, oh, here I am by a huge banana. Because then who are you at that point? Yeah, right. Basic.

Yeah. So it was one of those type situations, but it was all of Britney Spears' like, they had some of her costumes from music videos. That you could wear or just on display? On display. And then they had like, you know, the airplane, like they had redesigned it to look like the video from Toxic.

They had basically a bunch of her music video sets that they had designed in this building, like replicated them. Right, right. I thought, so first of all, let me say, I think Britney was reaching out to me telegraphically when I was there. Wow. I'm doing my best to free her. Because when I did the Britney's Zone, I was like, oh, I'm trapped. And I felt just like how Britney must feel right now. And by that I mean, usually when you go through these things, you just walk in, you take your

photos, you leave. I planned to be there for 30, 45 minutes. Yeah. I was there for two hours. Wow. They give you a tour guide and they the tour guide decides when you can leave the room oh so it's not just a free-for-all like walking around oh like you're in a group like a class you're in a class and it starts in a classroom from the

hit me baby one more time yes from hit me baby one more time and they have the original teacher on screen like these are the rules and they tell you the rules of the place like don't touch this or don't try to pick this up if you got kids like keep your baby's kids in line so they do all that and then they walk you from room to room and one room was from Hit Me Baby One More Time 2

and it was like the basketball gym or whatever and they had these lockers and then it had this note it was like you can write a letter to Britney Spears and slide it into the locker, and they'll give it to her. And I was like, why? Because she in jail? They want me to write prison letters to my sis. Is she still under that conservatorship?

Wasn't there a decision made recently? As far as I know, and she's still taking them videos from her house acting like she want to be there. And I'm like. I know. I always worry. Because I always worry. I'm like, well well when you give this money to Britney

where is it going but then it's also like I really want to go I think that she's still stuck in a conservatorship which oh man I don't know

there's that there's the whole free Britney movement you can look up if you want the specifics on that I'm kind of out of the loop that story is

all over the place I thought it was a conspiracy but I follow her on Instagram and I believe it oh yeah I think that Amanda Bynes is in a similar situation too. Yeah, she's also in a...

She's trying to get out of her conservator strip. I don't know. It's like a very murky... Yeah. ...topic. But anyways, yeah, so they don't let you leave

until they're like, oh, is everybody taking all their pictures? Okay, now we'll move to the next room. So this ended up being two hours. I was so pissed when I got out because I was like,

this is a waste of my life. Yeah, I was going to say, for someone like you who's like a performer yeah you're oozing charisma and you're not you're not you don't you're not uh you don't feel any kind of shame if you're just trying to get some good content on camera i would feel like if i was someone with lesser energies i would be so intimidated by the shit you're doing at each one i'll be be like, no, I don't need to take a photo. I think Miles is referring to the toxic plane where there is a video. Maybe I'll put it back up tomorrow if you want to see on my Instagram of me crawling on the floor.

Crawling on the floor, whipping your hair around. Listen, it's not cheap to go to these places. You got to make it work for you. No, but it was funny because there were just people clearly who were from your group or class who were just in the background, and it seemed like the dude behind you was sort of like, I mean, I wish I could have done that. Who knows? Or maybe you inspired people.

I didn't have the confidence to do it. Yeah. I wish he had. Yes, so that was my search history. How much was it to go in there? $39. Wow. But I'm looking at, sorry,

this whole time I've been, I found a Groupon. There you go. I found a Groupon and I texted three people from my computer. Just now? At the time we talked about this, yes. How much is it for the Groupon? It's $27. There we go.

Dang, I got ripped off. I should have went on RetailMeNot. We're not worried about you. We're not worried about you. I should have went on RetailMeNot. I still want a deal. That's $12. Lacey, what is something that you think is overrated?

Something I think is overrated is Jessica from Love is Blind Slander. Ooh, interesting. I didn't think you were going to come out with a Love is Blind thing. I was mid-sip, and I have to talk about all this shit. Okay, we've all watched all of it? Yes. Yes, okay. You're saying coming for Jessica's neck

is overrated. It is because Jessica is just messica. It's already a mess. Like, you know what I mean? Like, she's giving it to you raw. She's giving it to you unfiltered. She is trash. I don't know if she's aware. It's not hidden surprise trash. No. But you know who is surprise trash?

Kelly. Kelly is the worst. Fucking trizash. I agree. And Kelly's family don't fuck with her. Yeah, not after that. Her whole family from the beginning of the show

was like, Kelly, sis, you don't got good taste in men. Stop breaking. One of them said, we had to rescue you from so many relationships. They are tired of Kelly

and her nonsense. Her mother looked like those old photos from the Dust Bowl when it started to rain finally. Her mother was relieved when she met Kenny. Her mom loved Kenny so much. She was like, I can't believe that Kenny fell for my loser daughter. Like, hopefully he doesn't.

I wanted this so much. All right, so for people who don't know, Love is Blind is a show on Netflix where essentially they got people to go on, like, basically through conversation, not seeing each other, through going into these pods where they have these conversations or dates. They begin to find relationships, connections, and some people get to the point where they propose to each other and they get married. And that's where it all starts falling apart. People did not like Jessica at first because I think she was clearly feeling Barnett. Barnett did not reciprocate, so she went to phase two,

which was Mark, who was a young man who really was trying to do everything he could to win her over. But something's wrong with Mark. You don't miss that many red flags. I mean, at 24, though, I think I did date people. 24, I would miss every red flag.

The only place where I can empathize with, I don't even know what the pathize i want to use is but sizing either way the only thing i can relate with jessica on is like she like bought her own house and then she's like oh here's this random person like you're gonna let this random person move into your like yeah and he's a gamer with 500 roommates you're like okay i get that but like she was so shady about everything up to that, that you're just like, I don't know. I, I have no feel like, I don't know.

I think she, I think she was at least straightforward. She had an age gap of 10 years with the man, Mark, that she was paired up with. And I think she honestly could not get over that. Every question she had was like, don't you, aren't I old and disgusting and I'm holding you back from your life. The guy that she was crushing on who had already had another fiance, she was seven years older than him. And honestly, I think my good sis is lying because she don't look 34.

I've seen 34. And even on, you know, I don't think, I don't think, I think they just let him lie. Hey, sometimes when people or anybody, you go a long time without wearing sunscreen. I think everybody on that show is lying about their age because Alex talking about he's 28 right here

28 where? well even which one was Alex? 27 actually the broey guy the boring one who was with Kelly oh

no Kenny was with Kelly no Kenny was with Kelly because they were Kenny and Kelly so Kenny was supposed to be 28 oh yeah Kenny was supposed to be 28 which one was Alex?

I said and who's America? he didn't well and the broey guy what's the broey guy who dressed like Barnett oh was Alex with G 27 I said y'all are not my age was he with G is that the one with Giannina? America. He didn't. Well, and the bro-y guy. What's the bro-y guy who dressed like Barnett? 27. I was like, that doesn't feel right.

Is that the one with Giannina? No. That was the actor. Damien. I hate him so much. Here's where Damien really, he's for sure a Trump supporter. How liberal are you? How, like, I think he asked the question, like, how tied to your politics are

you? And I was like. And, how tied to your politics are you? He was trying to remove my good sis from her politics. She was like, I'm from Spain. He was like, okay, we'll work on this. Venezuela. This is why Damien was just, this is women out there. Look, I know it gets

okay. I'm talking to the women right now. And no, no, I'm talking to the men too, because we're talking about men. You'll get into it. So women and anybody who likes men, actually. I know it gets hard. And I know we start thinking like maybe settle for a Damien. Like maybe, you know, I'll lower my standards in the looks department and the money department and the political ideological department. But, you know, it's a warm body next to me and he cares about me.

Don't do that shit because they will disrespect you if you date somebody who's not in your league they will fucking walk all over you it it always happens that way i've seen so many beautiful men and women get stomped on by trash men who they knew they shouldn't have been within the first place damien is garbage damien i mean you i i you just get like, I get a strong libertarian energy from Damien. He reminds me so much of this guy that my best friend used to date who was just like, you're like, oh, he seems nice. He seems fine.

He looks like he's, you know, she's out of his league, but whatever. Maybe he's like cool. But then he was like a finance bro who was a libertarian and was so mean to her. And I'm like, that's damien and he also he has the calm gaslighter demeanor where he's like oh you're tripping he's like oh you're tripping like he gaslit the proposal yeah he gaslit her in a proposal he gave her an empty box and then said i was gonna put something in the box but then I decided that I'm the present. I give you all of me. And wrapped a bow around his wrist. I like when she's like, here's your fucking bow back.

That was funny. She's like, I give you all of me. You're welcome, bitch. I was like, what kind of proposal is this? Anyway, before this turns into a- Okay, anyway. Oh, yeah, one last point. Final points from everybody.

Jamie, final point. Okay, final point. It looks like the room they got married in looks like a hollowed out like. I don't even know. Delia's. It looks like a hollowed out mall store. They got married. Like, it looks like Delia's went out of business and love is mine.

Wait, does Delia's have brick and mortar stores? Oh, yeah, they do. See, in the West Coast, we only knew that as a catalog. So there was a Delia's store. There was in Brinktree, Mass, at least. Oh, wow. Wow. That was the stuff of legends for the young ladies of the West Coast. My mom would be like, $20 on a t-shirt,

Jamie? You're fucking dreaming. Well, they shot it in Atlanta, so maybe Tyler Perry Studios. Oh, also, you know what? Shout out to a listener, his friends with Lauren, who was with Cameron. Maybe we'll need to have Lauren on. I was surprised.

I believe in them. Does Cameron have a brother? Like, what's going on? And this is me. I love them. Also, shout out to him. He's like, you have dated black women before. I'm like, yeah, I know you have, bro.

Bro, we know you literally were looking to date a black woman. He heard Lauren on the other side and said, yes, she's black. He's like, let me remember some of my raps when I was rapping in college. He was looking date a black woman. He heard Lauren on the other side and said, yes, she's black. He's like, let me remember some of my raps when I was rapping in college. He was looking for a black woman. Lauren and Cameron warmed my heart.

To backtrack one reality show, and I swear, The Circle. So I have a source, let's say. You remember Miranda from The Circle? She was like the girl who hooked up with Joey. Lacey, remember, I could only get through two episodes. Even though I tried, I tried. The one like the girl who hooked up with joey and you remember i did not i could only get through two episodes even though i tried i tried the one with the tattoos yeah her business real fast and she was yeah she told her all her business really fast and she was like i have a

traumatic upbringing uh i have a good source that says that a lot of miranda's backstory is completely made up oh you hate to see it you hate to see it. You hate to see it. I know someone that knows her personally that is like, she has a rich family from Wisconsin that like, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, I believe that. Because she came up with, nobody's just like, hey, what's good, y'all? So my childhood trauma is. And she came out with it too fast. Lacey, what's underrated? Underrated.

Sorry. We just got to overrate We just did overrated This is an organic show Happening right there People demand it Hey Underrated My good sis

Lizzie Moss By that I mean Elizabeth Okay Moss My bitch has been Acting down For you know

Decades I loved Top of the Lake. It slapped. It was great. She's released several bops since then. Handmaid's Tale being one. Invisible Man. Another chart-topping single. Did you see it? Yes.

And Honey, Nobody. I knew when they said Lizzy was gonna be in the movie, I said, there's nobody else that I could watch fight air, bitch. Okay? Nobody? When I tell you Liz was fighting that air, and I was like, I could watch fight air, bitch. Okay? Nobody? When I tell you Liz was fighting that air and I was like, there we go over there, sis. Now you need a corner, sis.

Get him, girl. Like, I've never seen anything just so wondrous. Yeah. I mean. I'm so excited to see it. Go watch Invisible Man. I stand it the fuck down. It was entertaining. I laughed.

You laughed? Oh, yes. Inappropriate laughed? Oh, yes. I'm inappropriate time. But I was just, her acting was just so good. Sometimes I just had to crack up. I mean, to act when your scene partner is invisible and quite literally nobody,

that I think is very impressive. And I think they have somebody in a green suit, you know, for choking around and, you know, doing stuff in the movie. But it was just, I was just like, what can Lizzie not do, you know? Believe in Christ? She's really good at, well, she's the queen of Scientology. She's the reigning queen of Scientology. But she's born into it, so I don't care.

Hey, look, I still listen to Beck's music. He was born into it, too. But yeah, she's good in Her Smell, too. That's like a fun one that came out last year. What's Her Smell? Her Smell, it's like an indie movie that's like okay. There's a bunch of, Cara Delevingne is in it. Cara Delevingne.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, it's Cara Delevingne. If you want to see Liz Moss play a punk rock musician, that's Her Smell. Okay. That's good. And finally, Lacey, what's a myth? What's something people believe is true

that you know to be false or vice versa? So the internets are already going up about this. On a Tuesday. Yes. Picasso died in 1973?

Yeah. I didn't know that. Wait, that's recent. Yeah, yeah, he was around for a minute. My mom was four when Picasso died. I didn't know Picasso

was out here with the girls, like in these streets. You know what I mean? I mean, quite literally with the girls, though, too. He loves younger women. Yeah, didn't he find a bunch of 16-year-old muses? They pulled that whole artist scam where they're like, oh, all my muses are children. Is that okay? They inspire me.

Yeah, he was around for a minute i remember seeing a picasso a picture of pablo picasso later in life and i was like that can't be real because in our minds like everything or at least prior to me actually learning a little bit more about art anything i i had seen that was called art i thought was made 700 years ago. Right. And he was born in 1881. So he was older. He was 00 when he died. But I was just like, damn, this whole time,

I don't know, I just thought he was, you know, chilling with Van Gogh, like helping him chop his ear off or whatever. Right. You know, going to Beethoven's crib for the parties.

You know what I mean? I didn't know that. Going to Beethoven's crib. You know what I mean? I thought he was turning up with the old school girl. You know, the Monets and whatnot. I did not know he was, like, alive, you know, during this century. So that really shocked and appalled and dismayed me.

So how did you come across this information? Twitter. Wait, so what happened, though? Someone had a tweet, like tweet that someone was also shocked? Yes. Someone tweeted that they were shocked that Pablo Picasso died in 1973. They were like, what? Yeah.

They were like, I thought he was from 1500. I was trying to find the person's name. But yeah, then I had to Google it. And I was like, oh, your girl was out here. He was in these streets. And then I was like, wow, so to be just like an instant classic like that,

you know, just putting out all the art bops, I was like, who's gonna be Art Picasso who's alive and putting out the bops? I think sadly,

like the only, I think Banksy is like, Is that over? Well, I don't know. I mean like, you know, there's people like Tom Sachs or like Jeff Koons

and stuff like that or there are other artists but like, I don't know. It's so subjective. Is that super, super famous? If you're just going off of There are other artists, but I don't know. It's so subjective. Is that super, super famous? If you're just going off of price, I don't know. Yeah.

I guess Cindy Sherman's a photographer, but she got some hits. I love her work as well. But a widespread bops. Who's putting the art out that's going platinum right now? I think Banksy. I think that's where a lot of people... I think that's more in terms of

popular culture. That's the one thing people are like, oh yeah, the stencil graffiti guy who might be in Massive Attack. We don't know. Is the person behind it. So are we just going to keep circulating these same old paintings? Yeah, just buy my dad's art. When I don't get no fresh... When you think about it, we should get Miles' dad's art.

We'll have him on the show. We can talk it out. March 7th is coming up. Yeah, I was like, when you think about it, we should get Miles' dad. Yeah, get my dad. Okay. We'll have him on the show. Yes. We can talk it out. I mean, March 7th is coming up, so we'll have to talk about my divorce. Okay, so with that, let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

Let's get into some of, let's roll our sleeves up and get into a little bit of the political meat for this meal here. Over the weekend, so I think last time when we recorded, the South Carolina primary had not happened yet. Biden seemed to be the favorite, and that held up.

I think he won around 48% of the vote. Yeah. Yeah. Bernie with 19.9%. Tom Steyer with 11. Yeah. Bernie with 19.9%. Tom Steyer with 11.3%. Pete with 8.2%. Elizabeth Warren, 7.1%. Amy, 3.2%. Now.

Sonny barking at the top of his fucking lungs. Just going off, huh? He was loving it. He was so thrashing around. I mean, I think this was, like he said, this was his one state that he felt that he was going to do well in. He put a lot of time into it. So yeah, it ended up working

out for him. Congrats. It's the first primary he's ever won in 32 years of trying. So that was... So much shade. Yeah. No, I mean, honestly, like, let's be real, you know. It's true. It took you a while, sir. It's true. And your lying about marching with Dr. King did not help the last, well, was that in the 80s when you said that happened?

So, you know. I mean, what I meant was I watched Martin on TV and I was marching at my house. It was Martin. He was marching in place. It was Tommy. Cole and Pam. No, no, no. What are you talking about?

Martin Lawrence. Shanaynay was there as well. Oh, no. You're talking about the show Martin. Oh, okay. Well, that is a Martin. That sounds like a terrible social media challenge of hashtag March from Home, where you just watch videos of marching and you just walk in place.

You know, you say that as a joke, but it probably will be a thing. March from Home. I mean, yeah, unless you're unable to, then that's the only context in which you can march from home. Right. So because he won, that sent reverberations throughout the entire race. I mean, the media was like, Joey's back, baby. He never fucking left.

You thought he was down, but he's coming back, even though he might be behind in many of the other polls. But let's just think very narrowly about this victory. He's leaning with his teeth this time. And some of the casualties of that victory, look, Steyer was not viable. So and he put a lot of money in South Carolina. More than anybody. I mean, if just to think moments earlier, he was backing his little ass up with juvenile.

OK, but again, I'm pretty sure that was in South Carolina. He's he's a nolia boy as we all know if you're a if you're a historian of juveniles work you know about that um so different states but hey pick the wrong musician he was supposed to go get that guy who says north carolina he's north carolina though he's north you know closer though yeah closer than juvenile yeah i just loved that tom steyer bit because I was like, you know, y'all used to be the subject of political sketches

and now you're just doing them yourself. You know what I mean? He was like, why don't we do an SNL sketch but in real life, for real, and we'll be serious about it. Yeah.

Tom Steyer ads are still running and I see them and I laugh. I mean, he's still, I mean, that, is, Jeezy's from South Carolina,

isn't he? I don't know. I think so. Maybe. Oh yeah, Columbia, South Carolina. Yeah, so he could have got you some young Jeezy's from South Carolina, isn't he? I don't know. I think so. Maybe. Oh, yeah, Columbia, South Carolina. Yes. He could have got you some young Jeezy. Look at him.

And I'm sure he's available to do Tom Steyer events as well. But anyway, that was a big moment. So Tom Steyer had to ultimately bow out. I don't think he has endorsed anyone yet. But he said at the end when he formally bowed out, he said, Honestly, I can't see a path where I can win the presidency. Neither can we. Yeah, most people didn't, even when you were the impeachment guy, were like, you don't need to run.

There was a tweet that was just like, wow, it is truly impressive that Tom Steyer just ran in the primaries to make friends. Yeah, or I think Desus Nice was like, he's like, do y'all think he ran for president just so he could actually just get on stage with Juvenile? Like all of this was just for that?

He was just the biggest Juvenile fan? You can afford it, yeah. And also, so he ended his speech saying, when the Lord closes a door, he opens a window. I will find that window and crawl through with you. This has been a great experience and I have zero regrets. That's so fucking sinister. I will crawl in the window of opportunity that is. I will break in.

Well, actually it'll be a very different window because I'm a billionaire. It'll be much easier to get through. I'll have a step ladder. It will be a bay window. I'll have laborers build a window around me. I'll pay a task rabbit to take me through the window. Yeah, so that was, you know, shout out to a real one, Tom Steyer. And then the next day, Mayor Pete.

Ooh, this was, ooh, turn it up. Another domino had to fall. Yeah. And this time, you know, I mean, look, historical campaign to have the first openly gay candidate out here running for president. I just think after Iowa, there just was not enough in the tank for him. And his greatest achievement is a white guy doing a tribute to Obama. And he was dialing it in towards the end. Trevor Noah said, I'm glad Pete Buttigieg dropped out to spend more time with his daughters, Sasha and Malia.

I mean, yeah. The jokes, when Pete dropped out, the internet turned up. It was very fun. Pete, thank you so much. I've never liked you more than the day that you dropped out of the race. Now, maybe I'm a fan of you. But there is that element of, Pete, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Biden was like, hey, if you drop out now, you'll get a sweet cabinet position. We have to like consolidate the centrist vote and like knock Bernie out of the race is like, I don't know.

And he's young. So he has plenty of opportunity in his political future to try to climb through some windows with Tom Steyer as well. Did you actually mean to say crime through some windows? Because that makes sense, too. I mean, he's crimed through some windows in his day. Exactly. It's like Biden could, I guess, conceivably give him the experience that everyone is saying that he lacks. We'll see what happens.

I mean, a lot of people say i know trump tweeted something like you know with with mayor pete going out they're trying to fully bring down bernie now uh and consolidate around biden but a lot of the um polling was showing that 21 percent of buddha supporters uh preferred bernie as their second choice i hope that that ends up being the case and then elizabeth warren and Warren and Biden were tied around 19%. My concern is that when Pete makes an endorsement, I cannot imagine a world in which he would endorse Bernie over Biden. So it's like, where do Pete's supporters go

once Pete actually speaks up about where he would like, you know? You'd feel, because he traded jabs with everybody. Yeah. Him and Elizabeth Warren went at it. I don't know if he would endorse her. Warren is my girl, so. Well, so I think you need to talk to Amy Klobuchar. Right.

Because Amy Klobuchar was the next domino to fall. Yeah. Monday, she comes out and goes, yep, all right. Turns out this ain't it. And figured it out pretty quickly. And now, but she has come out it. And figured it out pretty quickly. And now, but she has come out and said she's endorsing Joe Biden. Yeah.

I mean, we don't give a fuck where you go, sis. We were so tired of you. Yeah. Get out. I think, honestly, you'd think just as I was following just sort of the ups and downs of the debates and how like the campaigns that she would be like, you know what? Elizabeth Warren, I think, is who you should go for. Amy don't even go here. Like she don't even go to Democrats.

She don't even go to this school. She doesn't even go here. Like we saw what you did. I wonder what happened. I think when Elizabeth Warren basically hit her with that post-it note, like one, two at the debate that may have turned amy or you know she was never really about that you know life from the beginning i think she was always just a moderate was never going to was probably never saw anything that bernie or elizabeth warren had and was going to favorably back that up but amy seems like one of those girls who's like i only have guy friends because

girls are too much drama like she gives me those vibes so strong. So get out of here. Where's Tulsi at? She's still in it as of this recording. I've been tweeting at Tulsi like, hey sis, all the things that black people say when they want you to leave their home. So what you finna get into? So what y'all doing after this? Okay. It's getting late, Tulsi. It's getting late.

Pete and Amy dropping out in the same day freaks me out. Tell you what, not that I want them in the race but it freaks me out. Tell you what, not that I want them in the race, but it freaks me out. Well, I mean, again, it definitely brings down Bernie's chances of getting the nomination outright because then it seems the majority of delegates might not go that way. Exactly, yeah. But look, I think we're headed for a very messy convention. Well, this was also messy because why did they wait until the polls opened to do this shit?

Because people in California have already started voting. So it's like if you voted for Pete, you just threw your shit in the trash. Yeah. I mean, I was seeing a lot of tweets around that too of just like whatever. So many people have already voted and it's just like they just threw their primary vote away and didn't even know. Yeah. Like it's just. already voted and it's just like they just threw their primary vote away and didn't even know yeah like it's just and i'm not sure some people might not even be aware that the candidates they

might be voting for have dropped out so depends on how like you're not getting like push notifications and shit like that and you're a busy person yeah you this is it's i think the whole system is fucked and i'm so tired of america just leaning on the fact that something is old to be like okay well this is how we've always done it well you know what people used to also die like in their 30s we have birthdays because the kids would not live like you know so maybe all the old shit ain't tight you know typhoid not lit you know like so maybe not everything that's old is working like i mean i don't even know if we've talked about this yet but even like the concept of caucusing is so fucking like tired and old. And like it sounds like this fun community thing, but it just like it just means that you're just disclosing your vote.

People yell at you. People are shitty to you. It's not accessible to like seniors or people with disabilities because you're just walking in a plain fucking four square and people are getting mad at you. It's just I don't know. So many parts of the electoral system are mcfucked yeah well um you know we'll see what mike bloomberg does if he can really he can sure up the votes for the billionaires the trillionaires the uh stallionaires if you will uh rest in peace rest who is it not Chance but his brother right yeah his brother

man it was messed up for the people who are heavily invested in the lore around the I love New York Tiffany Pollard's life

Tiffany Pollard franchise which I am I am I saw the stallionaires at Jerry's Deli in Woodland Hills in 2007 and I

I just gave them a nod and people were like who was that and I'm like don't worry People were like, who was that? I'm like, don't worry about it. They're celebrities. So Bloomberg has been, again, he's been under the microscope constantly because he's a misogynist, racist,

out of touch billionaire. He's every bad thing you could be. You can't say he hasn't accomplished being horrible okay he went he went down the list and was like what i gotta do to be bad the full spectrum of being horrible he's got covered he's a racist classist only if he's not is a bassist and that's about it which really would uh cool up his campaign well look what mike huckabee plays bass and he does not make that look good at all.

So anyway, he probably paid CBS a ton of money to go on to 60 Minutes on Sunday, and he was given a chance to try and set the record straight because of all of the wild-ass misogynistic shit that people have alleged him to say when they were in his employ. And he just crushes it with this, I guess, apology. In 1990, as a tongue in cheek gift, your employees immortalized some of your sayings

in a booklet called The Wit and Wisdom of Michael Bloomberg. I don't think I ever saw the book, but I do remember it. One of them has you describing your Bloomberg terminal. And the quote in the book is, quoting you, it will do everything, including give you a euphemism for oral. Low job. I guess that puts a lot of you girls out of business. Well, I didn't write the book. So did you say these things? I don't remember saying I can tell you that years ago on the trading room floors things were different

uh i apologize for that i'm sorry if somebody was hurt you don't remember if i bother if i annoyed somebody or hurt somebody i apologize i can't go rewrite history i can only tell you now it's a different world it's a different world but the the question is, is it a different man? Ooh. For sure, you evolve with time. We're all a product of the world we live in. Shame on you if you don't learn and try to be better.

Wow. When you say, I don't remember, you might as well just say, I said that shit. I would respect that more. And also, it was a different time.'t remember, you might as well just say I said that shit. I would respect that more. Right. And also, it was a different time. Back then, you know, we would go up the women's skirts on the floor. Look how Trump did it. And somehow the people are like, oh, okay, I guess that's just what planet he's on.

I mean, I think it's just more of a reflection of who you are as a person. Because I understand that it was socially acceptable to harass and assault women in years previous sure but you don't have to do it just because it's socially acceptable i'm sure there has to be at least one man who was living in that time who was like no i don't i don't touch on the women and i don't say mean things to them or it's like it's clear to me what i'm saying is making these people uncomfortable. I don't think every man agreed to this. No. It was just such a weak, like for someone who's trying to take advantage of like every like youth angle he possibly can to get support.

Like that was just like, that was a huge, I mean, not that I'm like, oh, I'm disappointed you didn't take advantage. I came this close to coming around on Bloomberg. It's just so, right. I was like, I, I'm disappointed. I came this close to coming around on Bloomberg. It's just so, right. I was like, I was almost with him. On the fourth mailer, I was like, I was one skateboard ride away from Bloomberg from believing that he could take-

I was one fuck Jerry meme away. Oh my God. Don't even get me started on that. I was one distracted girlfriend meme away. I can't, I can't deal with it. Again, you know, for people who ever find themselves having to apologize for past behavior, just try and articulate why what you said back then is wrong now, rather than doing the thing of like, hey, well, if I offended anybody, I'm sorry.

What do you mean if? Yeah. Like you basically told your women employees that they only good for sucking dick. I think they probably were a little offended. It's not an if on their end i'm sure like it's just the secondary like uh strategy after that is like well i never heard about it and had i known i probably would have but i had never heard anything about it when it came out even though i'm the one signing all the fucking checks so who gonna check me boo i don't

think i don't know why my employees didn't just come up to me and tell me I wasn't shit. Even though I controlled the fate of their financial livelihood. You know, I don't know why they didn't come talk to me. Oh, man. But, yeah, he tried. He tried. And then, I mean, even then, too, he was, over the weekend, went to church in Selma, Alabama. in Selma, Alabama.

And a few people in the audience made it known that they have not forgotten his fucked up history of stopping, frisking, harassing black and brown men in the city of New York. And they turned his back as he was speaking during the service. So credit to them. But again, I don't think, you know, for someone who thinks like he does,

he's probably like, were they not happy with the amount of money that I gave? Like, was it that I gave? Like, was it something I did? And then also Stacey Abrams was there, and she's been supporting Mike Bloomberg for a hot minute here. She definitely defended his, like, obscene amount of ad spend. Yes. And, like, comparing it to candidates who bring a dog on the campaign.

Or their charisma. Yeah. Mike is bringing billions. It's because he doesn't have charisma and dogs hate him. So what choice does he have? Did you see that one clip where he grabbed a Golden Retriever's snout? Yes!

He was meeting a dog. He manhandled this dog. He fucking frisked the dog. He frisked the dog! It was like he was trying to shake the dog's hand but he could only grab the snout. Of the dog's face. And it was like, okay, good to meet you, sir. It was like he was trying to shake the dog's hand but he could only grab the snout of the dog's face. And I was like, okay, good to meet you, sir. It was weird and wild.

I hate him. I just... Is there a way that at least if Mike is going to get on my nerves for another few weeks that I can profit off of this? If Mike is going to be a dumbass and spend all his money on a campaign, he will not win. You know how you do it right

take your account right now change all the shit like all your avatar your fucking background photo everything to be like a Bloomberg stan account all you need to upload is like three clips of you telling other black women

why they need to support Mike Bloomberg I can get on that influencer site and get a coin. Yeah. Everybody would know it was fake. Yeah. Except Mike. Yeah, and then you would just get the money anyways. Mike has no way of knowing.

Mike can't detect irony if you fucking gave him a billion more dollars. You will never know. That's one thing the money cannot buy him. Because I'm like, is anybody benefiting off this campaign spending that he's doing? Plenty of people are working for his campaign because they're'm like, is anybody benefiting off this campaign spending that he's doing? Plenty of people are working for his campaign because they're just like, I don't give a fuck.

He's just giving out people like $2,500 checks. Well, there's like a, yeah, people are like kind of taking like a Robin Hood mentality of like, I'm going to take his money

and like pay some of my student loans. Like, fuck it. Like, I don't believe in what he's doing, but he pays well. I hope that his whole campaign camp

is just people who are like ironically there just trying to come up on some quick cash. I hope that his whole campaign camp is just people who are ironically there just trying to come up on some quick cash. You'd think it based on screenshots people were getting from people who were texting from his campaign. I know, they're texting like, hey, what's up? It's me, a fan of Mike Bloomberg. Can we count on your vote?

And if you said, no, it's like, this is technically not illegal. I'm a real person. It's the equivalent of like, I used to sell my blood plasma for money. I feel like Mike Bloomberg is of like i used to sell my blood plasma for money i feel like mike bloomberg is like the political equivalent of selling your blood plasma for money you know what i mean like you're just like well it doesn't like i i just have to make ends meet this month absolutely fine i'll fucking text for bloomberg i think it might be worse than that i think it might be semen in a cup there it's like i'm making children i'll never know about what i

need we'll see where this goes i just got to compartmentalize myself and just do yeah yeah um I just want to touch on uh his record as mayor um and just how he's handled other emergencies right because right now we're in the midst of in the midst of a uh possible pandemic uh of the coronavirus. And, you know, there's the leadership is lacking, it seems from what I've read. I don't know. I don't want to make any assessments, but it sounds like they don't know what the fuck they're doing in D.C. So I think it's a good point, a good moment to just sort of look at just one instance of Michael Bloomberg trying to handle a bit of a, what should we call this? I guess a disaster, a bit of a emergency situation. In 2010, just after Christmas, there was a blizzard that like hit New York

with like 20 inches of snow, okay? And people, the streets weren't like plowed, people were stuck in their homes and people were fucking pissed at Michael Bloomberg. Even people who were like his allies, like in the city council, saying stuff like, quote, I've never seen such gross mismanagement and lack of leadership in my lifetime. People are furious. Another like city council speaker who has been a pretty staunch ally of the mayor at the time said,

clearly the response was unacceptable. We're hearing reports from all over, people not even having seen a plow by the afternoon of the day after, like when the snow fell. This is a level of lack of cleanup that I really can't recall. And even with the storm coming in and people saying, hey, this is going to be a pretty significant weather event, opted out of declaring a state of emergency. significant weather event opted out of declaring a state of emergency just because in the beginning he he defended it because he said he didn't want to cause more problems which is not how you lead problem you let people know there's a problem on the way rather than the thing of like i'm sure trump has the same mentality too sort of like well if we get fucking people all worried about it then it's going to be more chaos like let's just wait till the last minute and then yeah that way people don't like get food

in advance or the things that they need also i have a friend who i think was in new york at the time of that blizzard and they were stuck in a building all of these people and like sharing food and like dropping stuff down to each other's balconies and stuff. Yeah. Couldn't get out. What's wild is we have this thing called meteorology and it's a science of weather. And you knew this was coming. Yeah. Mike. Yeah.

Just a little bit. Would have done a lot. And at the time. Yeah. The sixth highest amount of emergency 911 calls in New York's history were put in that like during this event. Just just so you can see where that ranks, 9-11 was the third highest.

And was still just being like, man, there's nothing to worry about. Let's just do whatever the fuck we gotta do. The other part, he wasn't even in the city when all of this went down. Because he knew to leave. He was in fucking Bermuda. He was such a rich person.

He was like, oh, a storm's coming in. Gather the jets. It's so fucked. If you've ever heard something about Mike Bloomberg that you're like, oh, I think he did a good job there, reach out. Let us know if he's done a good thing before. Haven't heard of one.

On a few levels, this would obviously irk most people uh for one he knew there was an emergency he was aware that it was coming decided it wasn't worth declaring and then fucked off on vacation then the fact that he like he apparently was very weirdly private about going on vacations uh like his like office quote refused to confirm or deny that he was in bermuda because it was his quote private time um so journalists had to like go off plane charter records to figure out where he actually was um and so that you know where people were like where the fuck are you because a lot of other mayors were sort of saying like before him it's like being mayor of new york is a seven-day-a-week job. And sometimes they're at the site of an emergency.

Immediately, that's just sort of how other mayors were sort of running shit. The other part was when he tried to tell people that everything was okay in the city and they just need to chill the fuck out because the Broadway shows were still running. What's the problem? Can you imagine telling your job that you have a private time and just not going to your employment? Right. It's a lot. He's like, listen, Book of Mormon's fine, alright?

So what's the problem? You could see a Broadway show, right? You probably could see Hamilton today since the streets is fucked up. You got a chance to win the lotto. Check out SpongeBob. No, he wasn't married during SpongeBob. No, definitely not.

Thank God. But he was saying prior to this when New York City residents were pressing him about all of his vacations, he kept just telling them, quote, it's none of their business. Okay. You know you work for us, right, it's none of their business. Okay. You know you work for us, right? Technically, we're your employer. Yeah. We pay you.

Just so, just to give you that little bit, you know, I think we can all safely say that this is the person that should be leading the country. And who knows what will happen, but I hope he bows out soon. All right, let's take another quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

It grows louder when you ask for help and you're vulnerable. It is the thread that lets you know that no matter what happens, you will be okay. When we learn the power of hope, recovery is possible.

And I really feel so content, which is a word that used to scare the crap out of me. And I love that word now.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

And we're back. Just a quick shout out to James Lipton from Inside the Actor's Studio, who passed away at the age of 93 years young. I mean, I watched the show. I know people who it's massively important to them. But I always like the part where he asked the actors what their favorite curse words are yeah that's the best okay moving on well i liked him on arrested development also oh yeah yep great great are they gonna do i feel like now inside the actor studio is just gonna die weren't they continuing it did they continue or did it

stop i don't know i guess i have a difficult time like dating any of those episodes they all because they take place in the same void that you're like oh this could be from any year where bradley cooper is a student in the audience right you're just like oh i guess this was a while ago like it always looks the same i feel like they've been using the same camera the whole time theater it's like the resolution never changes so i had no idea he was that old i thought he was in his 70s maybe. I don't know. It's just like when Joan Rivers died and then fashion police just couldn't revive it.

And that hurts because now there's a hole in my heart for people just doing fashion critique. What they did is they had a sort of rotating host type style. Got it. After James sort of bowed out style. Got it. After James sort of bowed out. That bores me. Yeah. Okay. Next up, Chili's. I want my baby.

They're turning... Apparently, Chili's is 45 years old. It's turning 45. What? Okay, Chili. And they want you to know. Y'all over the hill, Chili's. March 13th. You can get $3 13 cent margaritas that will come in a commemorative glass but the also part is funny like if you you know do it like all these companies are doing like hey follow us on every single thing so we can get all of your

data um you can like win stuff like uh a t-shirt that says i feel God in this Chili's tonight, which I don't know what that means. It feels sexual. Yeah. I'm okay with it. Have you ever felt God in a Chili's? I love a Chili's. I've definitely felt Satan. Yeah.

I felt the presence of Beers, but- When was the last time- I felt drunk in a Chili's. Have you ever felt God in a chain restaurant before? Yeah, of course. Which one? Chili's would be one of them. So what happened?

Chili's would be one of them. I think that was one of my family's arguing restaurants. You know, when you're like, when we go to this restaurant, we're going to get into a fight. So Chili's would be like, we would go, we would get a rack of ribs, and we would argue about a large issue. Would it be, oh, so you knew that if you were going to Chili's, it was to have some kind of argument? Or was that like somehow the energy in the Chili's always brought out the worst? We had some nice ones. I feel like Chili's, you're like, it's nice enough, but if you get into an argument, you're not like, well, everyone's like, I'm wrecking the vibe at Chili's.

Nobody's paying attention to the fact that y'all are yelling over baby macarons. They're like, oh, this seems about right. That's about the energy in this place. Anyone can bust out into an argument at any point, and no other group is going to be bothered by it. Honestly, full-on fist fight. I would still be eating my ribs. Just keep it away from me.

You can fight on the other side of the table. I felt God in a Red Lobster. You felt God in a Red Lobster. You felt God in a Red Lobster. Why? Is that because of the food or because you're on a great date? I mean, the Cheddar Bay biscuits. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just the overall ratchetry.

Yeah. Have you ever felt God in a restaurant that was because of the person you were with? See, and this is why our generation is doomed. That's the real question. Pregnant pot. That's the real question. Pregnant pot. That's the real question. We're all finding God in the wrong places.

We should be finding them in each other. Instead of a motherfucking Chili's. You can also get a bomber that says skillet queso on the back. What is a skillet queso? Yeah, the skillet just full of molten cheese. Yeah, you never- But it just says the word skillet queso on the back. Just old English, cross the back, bomber jacket, skillet queso the words Skillet Case all over that. Just old English, all across the back, bomber jacket, Skillet Queso. Oh, my God.

I love that. Is that racism? Skillet Case. Skillet Case, baby. Yeah, just get your Chili swag. I don't know how I feel about that. Well, I'll tell you something. One of the first times I went to a Chili's was like I had never gone with my family,

but I went on a date there because I had a little bit of money to go, you know, I was like, okay, I'm pretty sure you get a deal where like you get two meals for like 15 bucks and then I can look like I'm doing well. Uh, and I felt God that night in that Chili's. I felt like I was an adult. That's beautiful. Yeah. Never went again though though i've been to friday's more often than chili's um okay quick pivot onto the corona beer thing where people thought corona beer coronavirus was the same thing that's still going on um well so what happened was here's here's what had happened okay cnn fox many other outlets had like reported on this like we're saying like what the fuck i even saw it too i was like what 38 of americans wouldn't buy corona under any circumstances

so this is what happened this uh actual poll was done by a group called 5w public relations a pr firm that represents other beverage companies. No. Yes. So they have other alcohol companies like Purity Vodka, Santa Margarita. They also work with Zico Coconut Water. Santa Margarita. And Sparkling Ice by Talking Rain.

Oh, those are like the ratchet ones. Those are like the drinks that underage children drink. Yeah, exactly. Wait, so they don't rep Corona, though? No, not at all. Okay. And also, the wildest part is that the whole 38% stat that most people were hanging these headlines onto, it doesn't even state the way the whole poll was conducted.

It's completely unclear how they even arrived at this number. Because they didn't. They made it up. It's completely unclear how they even arrived at this number. Because they didn't. They made it up. It's called imagination. What they did was just sort of very hastily put out a press release that sort of had like this one headline and they thought they could hang on to it. And then it completely sort of took a life of its own. They said, by presenting this finding in the context of other questions that are explicitly about the coronavirus, the press release creates the impression that Americans' reluctance to drink the beer is due to coronavirus. So the question that actually gives us this 38% statistic is one of the questions that doesn't even specifically mention the virus.

So there are questions like, are you a beer drinker? Are you a corona drinker? Is corona related to the coronavirus? In light of the coronavirus there are questions like, are you a beer drinker? Are you a Corona drinker? Is Corona related to the Corona virus? In light of the Corona virus, do you plan to stop drinking Corona? Would you buy Corona in a store? Would you order Corona in a restaurant bar slash public venue? And would you buy Corona under any circumstances now? The last question is the one that people answered 38% to. So they were just like, well, we asked about Corona virus in the other way. So I guess we're just going to draw a really reckless line between

the two and be like, yeah, that's what's happening. Now, don't worry about the brand. I was like, don't worry about it. Yeah, but everyone, the point of the story is, don't worry about coronavirus. As long as there's nothing called Mike's Hard Virus, I guess I don't really care. You'd be like

patient zero. Mike Bloomberg might come up with Mike's Hard Virus, I guess I don't really care. You'd be like patient zero. Yeah. Mike Bloomberg might come up with... Oh, shit. Mike's Hard Virus. Is that the way to your heart? Mike Bloomberg, Mike's Hard Lemonade? If Mike's Hard becomes aligned with Mike Bloomberg...

They wouldn't. They endorsed Deadpool, and that was hard for me. But when they endorsed Mike Bloomberg, I'll never take another shot. Is Mike's Hard from the Sam Adams people? Is that coming out of Massachusetts, or they're their own thing? I don't think so.

That would be nice. I just want to make sure. They're owned by somebody. Oh, no. Truly, I think, is Sam Adams. I'm just thinking of the Seltzer Wars as well. I think Mike's Hard is their own operation. They don't need anyone.

They don't want anyone, but that could be absolutely wrong. No. I think you're right. They're headquartered. Wow. The parent company? The Mark Anthony Group. Stop're headquartered. Wow, the parent company? The Mark Anthony Group. Stop.

What the fuck? What if we found out, what if this is how we found out? Wait, Mark Anthony, like J-Lo Mark Anthony? No, no, it's just called the Mark Anthony Group. Oh. When it says like the parent company, wow, this is, we're learning a lot right now.

My head is spinning. Yeah, so basically no one thought that the coronavirus, wow this is we're learning a lot right now my head is spinning yeah so basically no one thought that the coronavirus basically no one thought that the corona beer caused the coronavirus

and someone just started spreading that I think it shows just generally like how little confidence we have in each other as a country we're like yeah yeah

we're stupid enough that I would believe that there's 40% of the people who are like yeah coronavirus no everybody is real dumb okay

and then when they were pointing to like yeah I mean the market like their stocks aren't doing well either that's because the whole stock market was doing terribly right that has nothing to do with the virus and their whole thing is like to make it about you yeah yeah the thing but corona the corona people who run the company like hey but don't worry about us because we got something up our sleeves. Corona seltzers. Coming ashore soon. Oh no. Wash it away. Yes. Not everyone needs it. We got enough seltzers.

We got options. We're fine. You can get cherry, tropical, lime, blackberry, lime, lime, lime. I don't know. It's a lot. I don't mind an alcoholic seltzer but like we got enough options we don't need like when i see the bud light seltzer you're like no that's not that's

just hard to look at it's weird how my like the two i think of is like truly and white claw so when i see the other ones not even because i've tried them all and i'm like those are the best ones i'm just like y'all were late. Right. So I don't like, I don't like the tardiness to the party. Right. As,

what was that, Kim Zolciak told us? don't be tardy for the party. Yeah. Also, second movers, it's just like, it's just like with streaming platforms.

It's like, I'm sorry, I have met my limit. I'm not gonna subscribe. I don't care what you're cooking over there. Unless Quibi comes at you with a contract. Would you take some Quibi money? Listen, they've already slid.

Oh, and you slid on out? I took the Quibi money. I have yet to take the Quibi money. I lost my shot at Quibi money. I got far, but I don't think I nailed my last audition. It's not even... Come on, full disclosure. What did they offer you? Mike's Hard Lemonade? I don't think I nailed my last audition. To host. It's not even, I mean, whatever.

Come on, full disclosure, what did they offer you? Mike's Hard Lemonade? Full disclosure. They paid me five nickels and a Mike's Hard. Five nickels and a Mike's Hard. That sounds about right. That's the going rate at Quibi right now. Yeah. No, I'm kidding.

They have, I mean, you're like, no, I'm kidding. It's fine. I know. I just feel like they're wasting so much money. No, I'm kidding. You should watch the show when it comes out in April. Yeah, I mean, a billion dollars in ads or in content spend. We will see so much money. you should watch the show when it comes out in April. Yeah, I mean, a billion dollars

in ads, or in content spend. We will see where that goes. Yep. And just finally, I just want to say, apparently Judge Judy is ending the show

after 25 seasons. Judy! Judge Judy. The 2020-2021 season will be her last. Look, I absolutely do not agree with her politics, 100%. Of course not. But my goodness, I love a strong woman yelling at people.

It's just like... The flavor. Yeah, I just love it. And that's what her show was. She's conservative, right? No, she's Bloomberg. She's all in for Bloomberg. She's a Bloomy?

Yeah. Oh, okay. She's rich. That's what I mean. At a certain point, you don't have politics. You're just rich or you're not rich. She's like, who's got the most money? Yeah, that one. Because what did she make a year? $47 million. Yeah, you're not fucking voting for it.

You know who is not on Quibi? Judge Judy. Oh my goodness. For now, that is. She is fantastic. Just the? Judge Judy. Oh my goodness. For now that is. She is fantastic. Just the flavor. Just her yelling at people and just really crushing their spirits. The wildest part is in 2017, all of her show, like the full library of the show, that back catalog, sold that for $95 million. But there was some courtroom drama.

I don't know if it fully went through, but that's what Judge Judy's worth. And she is really involved in her business. On my show, we had a bit about Judge Judy and we watched Judge Judy on a TV. Judge Judy had to see the script and see the show

to give us permission to use her um image in the television screen yeah on florida girls wow because we watched we talk about loving judge duty and watching judy's that's what we call them like popping some judy's oh we watch our judy's right now yeah so she had she personally approved it so she's like protecting the brand yeah all right and then we were misled with that one Photoshopped image of her with them cakes, but that was Photoshopped. People were like, you will not believe the junk. I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm glad you know.

There was a Photoshopped picture of her saying that she had Kim Kardashian style big booty. Like ass. Yeah, and it was Photoshopped. Like if you saw it, I was like, my first reaction was like, whoa. I didn't know if it was real or not. I was like, okay. Yeah, it was fake. It was fake.

Are you looking at it right now? What? No. Oh, okay. They say Oprah got booty too. Is it Photoshopped or no? No, real life. I'm just going to put with things called Judge Judy's cakes.

Oh, sorry. Oh, whatever. Judy cakes. Oh, I wish that were real. Right. I wish Judge Judy had ass like that. Oh, I wish that were real. I wish Judge Judy had ass like that. Oh, I wish that were real. Here we are just wishing Judge Judy had ass like that.

Disappointment of the year. That other one where she is. You can go however it wants. That's the biggest disappointment of 2020. That's not Judge Judy. See, it was dummy thick. Okay, that one is. The one on the left is fucked up.

Yeah, they did it a lot. They really went in on the photo shop on that one. If Judge Judy wasn't known for that, and I saw that image, and that was like a sort of older woman's thirst account, I would probably stay in that account. Right, I would be like, yes. Yeah. Okay, well, with that, we know where we all lie with Judge Judy. Lacey, thank you so much for coming on today. Thank you for having me.

Yes. I have so many thoughts. I have more to say. No one has enough to say about this show. We didn't even talk about Amber. And then isn't there going to be a tell-all, too? Her broke ass. I love Netflix for just shading Amber the entire time by putting ex-tank mechanic at the bottom,

a.k.a. she ain't got no job. Right now. They should just put unemployed. Barnett's face when she's like, yeah, and I got all this student debt plus no degree. And he was like, whoa.

And then another one from Auntie Donahue.

You are not a true graduate of 90s suburbia unless square dancing was inexplicably part of your phys ed curriculum. That is true. I didn't know why we were doing it, and I was like, why are you playing a fucking record? I loved it. Bootscoop boogie? Oh, yeah. But Texas, was it as jarring for you to do line dancing? No, we did it as cheerleaders.

I had to do line dancing. Or square dancing, right? Square dancing, yeah. Not line dancing. Yeah, we had it in our school, and the actual track had to be played off of a record player. And I was like, this is some old, stale-ass curriculum. For whatever reason, it's having its heyday now.
