They are full bone. You know, yeah. Full bone. Full bone. Got the full bone. All right, Nick, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're talking about how being high with an intimate partner can make things warmer, more intimate, better.

Specifically on marijuana. On weed. Which is not the drug that you typically associate with being intimate. Oh, well. Speak for yourself, my man. I was speaking for you. I said you. I was indicating you.

Looking strictly in my eye. You're right. We're going to talk about McDonald's new international menu. We're going to talk about how abortion rights have just gone away. A quick hard turn. We'll have an ad break in between those two. So they're not right next to each other.

one of the better reasons that Tesla has been trending over the past year. And then we'll make some Game of Thrones predictions. Specifically, Nick will make them, even though he's a season behind. I think that'll be actually the most powerful segment. Honestly, I think it's going to end at season seven. Oh, wow.

Okay. That is a big swing. We also might talk about a woman who drank six energy drinks a day, and what happened there? Needed a pacemaker. Yes. But first, Nick, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Crap! How many things are on that list? I know. That was, I had like, I have like 19 things ready to talk about. Okay. And I was like, damn, you hit me right up top. Yeah.

From my search history, I'll tell you what's going on with my search history. It's all Bing all the time because I've got malware. And so no matter what I Google, I Bing it. Oh, wow. And it is killing me.

I'm going to have to take it to the Mac store. It redirects you to Bing? It just redirects me to Bing. And you Google it, and they're like, yes, this is a big problem. This search engine is killing me. What kind of computer you got? I have a Macintosh. Oh, OK.

A Macintosh. And what kind of websites do you want? What kind of files do you download? The take it or Bing. I thought. He's rubbing his mitts right now. and what kind of websites you'd be going on. What kind of files you'd download, my man? The take it or bing. Yeah, I thought. He's rubbing his mitts right now. Porno.com or something?

Freeporno.biz.co.ru. Because you can go incognito, but I didn't realize they still count it. Oh, yeah. You got to get a VPN, my man. You still get the mal. Get the VPN. Get the mal. The mal is there. So anyway, yeah. You got to get a VPN, my man. You still get the MAL. Get the VPN. Get the VPN. MAL is there.

So anyway, yeah. No, I'm just – I've just been – I'm back to Victoria's Secret catalogs for a minute. Yeah, baby. Oh, they've been good lately. Wow, look at Fancy Man over here. Yeah. Act like you forgot about the Sears catalog. Right.

I did Google Ted Turner right before coming because – Just wanted to see what he's been up to. I was on a group chat and my my friends were um texting pictures of their dads young and i don't have they're not on the internet my dad's not on the internet right whose dads were on there my girlfriend's dad is a musician and my other friend's dad is a screenwriter um charles gould's dad wrote cocktail very famous oh yeah wow And so they shared And then I was like

I don't know I don't have any Pictures of my dad In his 20s At the Department Of Transportation Right So here's a picture

Of Ted Turner There you go And Charles never realized It wasn't my dad Oh really No Wow Like what era Ted Turner

Like big Swashbuckling Billionaire I found one in his 40s Like it was like The best picture I could find You know he's got A severe chin dimple Wow. Like what era Ted Turner? Swashbuckling? I found one in his 40s. It was like the best picture I could find. You know, he's got a severe chin dimple. And Charles was like, wow, a chin dimple and you don't have anything. Right.

And you're like, uh-huh. Yeah, no, I know. It's nuts. He's blonde. Miracle. Wow, he's flying his own helicopter. You never told me that your dad was dating Jane Fonda. He's like, wait, how come our adult swim deal went through? I'm reading that your dad owns fucking Cartoon Network.

What is something you think is overrated, Nick? I think overrated are following people that you like on Instagram anymore. Okay. In the past week, I have deleted maybe 25 people that I have been friends on social media with for a decade or more. A lot of it is how Instagram is filled with comedians' clips. Right. Or if you noticed this, but I only follow comedians. So now it's just comedians doing stand-up with their clips with the words in the bottom.

And that's my whole feed. And I said, no, thank you. I also unfollowed some people who post really delicious, terrible food all the time because I'm like, I don't need to see that literally all day. That's mean. I got some friends who own some restaurants, and I'm just like, you're done. I know where you are.

I'll be there. I'll be there. But also tacos, el venado. Yeah, there's just, man, it was really just some of my closest, closest friends got unfollowed this week. Closest, closest social media friends or closest, closest like actual real space? Right, actual, actual friends. Got it. Yeah.

I mean, you don't need your Instagram and Twitter to like interact with who you're actually friends with in real life. You can just keep those two separate. No, it's just Diana Agron all the time now. Yeah, yeah. She's the only one left. What is something you think is underrated? I think underrated is bringing out the appetizer before the entree. Seriously, I want to stab somebody.

Okay. Last night we went, again, you order an appetizer and you order an entree and they come out at the same time. Who the fuck does that? Oh, I mean, half the restaurants on Earth. Where? It happens a lot. I was at Viet Noodle in Atwater last night. Shout out.

Really delicious. But I do want to stab them. Yeah. No, everything about the meal was incredible. Right. Oh my God. But I'm on a podcast shaming them Because the appetizer came out

Right at the same time They brought them all out together What was the appetizer? It was crispy rolls And what was your main? It was Beef noodle with peanut sauce Okay

Yeah, you want Because the whole idea At least the psychology When you look at them And you're. Yeah. Yeah, you want... Because the whole idea, at least the psychology, when you look at a menu, you're like, yeah, shit, I need to eat that fucking now. Right. And then I'll get into the rest of the meal, but I need this to start. Yeah. Also, if you make it before the appetizer, save it, buddy. Right.

I don't know anything. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm dumb. Right. Just tell me you just made it. Great. I don't...

Yeah, just get the shit out in the right just made it Great I don't Yeah just get the Get the shit out In the right order Yeah I don't It will Really Cause I will like Fixate on it And it will ruin

Five minutes of the meal Right And then my girlfriend's Mad at me And I don't need it I should probably It's probably a lot me

Right But just don't set me off In the wild Exactly Don't fuck with my Crispy rolls Yeah Were they good though It was good though It was incredible A little too expensive Yeah well but just don't set me off in the wild. Exactly. Don't fuck with my crispy rolls. Yeah.

Were they good though? It was good though. It was incredible. A little too expensive. Yeah. Well, Atwater. Yeah. It's coming up.

It's coming up. Things are changing over there. Yeah. Things are changing in Atwater. You ever have them forget an appetizer and then offer to bring it out after you put it out? Hilarious. As you're like licking your fingers.

Right. Did you still want that? Yeah. Yeah, no, that'd be great. Well, I'm like, is it free? Pack it up. Right. Exactly.

That is the move. And it has to be free. They should, yeah. People don't get you giving a free things either. Yeah. I've always said that. I'll always, I'll never forget the time when I was a kid and I got my first free meal because I was eating tacos

from a parent? at Nacho Mama in no from the restaurant oh okay in Nacho Mama's in Richmond and there was a piece of the ceramic plate

in my taco and I crunched on it and it was awful and they said obviously this is free and then I said oh great so it's obviously free

whenever something's really wrong right and that is not the case right in my adult life. Is that why you always have a pocket full of ceramic chips? You're like, hey, man. Sir, you came at lunch and did this. I'm like, how'd you like your burger? Not here. Open it up real quick.

We're getting this for free. Ceramic chips. Yeah. Well, the people who say there's no such thing as a free meal, what do they say about that? I guess the cost you're paying is that you ate some ceramic. So that would be the price. Man, if you give me a free meal, I'm coming back. I went to Nacho Mama's 20 times. You give me a free meal, you're making your money.

Is Nacho Mama still open? No, they closed recently. My buddy sent me. It was like two years ago they finally closed. It's confusing wordplay, but it's wordplay nonetheless. Because it sounds like not your mom. Or not your mama's food that you're used to. Oh, not your mama's Mexican food.

That makes sense. That works. Yeah, that does work actually really well. I'm sorry, not your mama's. But it'd be funny if like, yeah. was the food authentic or was it like a- Oh, hell no. That's what I'm saying, yeah. Right.

Then like for people who are like Mexican, like this is definitely not my mom's Mexican food. This is some other shit. They had fried ice cream. You know, it's like I thought fried ice cream was like authentic Mexican food, and I have never seen it in New York or LA. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah. No, it's like...

That's actually one of... It's just ice cream rolled in sugar or whatever. This is Richmond, Virginia? Yeah, yeah. Richmond, Virginia, yeah. Shout out to University of Richmond. Spiders. Shout out.

Yeah. Yeah. Casa Lupita was the first Mexican restaurant that I went to and the thing that I remember getting there was fried ice cream. Like apparently somebody just told the East Coast and Midwest that fried ice cream was a Mexican delicacy because, yeah, those are the only places I've ever had it is at like

Midwestern Mexican restaurants. Yeah, you don't realize, I've never even heard of Oaxacan food before I moved to LA and that's like half of Mexican food here. Right. I just had no idea. Well, I don't know. I mean, I guess it's so weird when I look up fried ice cream, it's like the Mexican dessert.

It's delicious. But I'm like, what's it called like in Mexico? Yeah, I don't know. That's one of the age-old questions. I bet you someone could answer it very easily. Which came first,

chicken and egg? What do they call Mexican ice cream in Mexico? Is it called helado frito? Can't you just translate the page or something? Oh, yeah. Wait. Hold on.

Sorry. Hold on. Got to look up. Helado frito. Okay. Receta muy facil para hacer helado frito en casa en pocos. Okay. Great.

So, yeah. I guess. Hey, mate. Shout out to this. I think this is a real thing. Shout out to what? And I just didn't have it. Who are you shouting?

Shout out to Nacho Mamas. Shout out to Nacho Mamas. I feel cheated. I'm growing up in LA and I've not had fried ice cream. Yeah, you should try it. It's delicious.

Yeah. And finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true? Okay, so here, I have some considerable credit card debt.

It's in the teens. And a friend of mine was telling me, here's what you do. You don't have to, you don't have to... Who's your friend? You always want to take financial advice when it starts out with the phrase, here's what you do. I have not Googled this.

It's Greg Barris, a hilarious comedian. Greg Barris. Here's what you're going to want to do. Here's what you're going to want to do. Don't declare bankruptcy, you know, because that screws you up for seven years. Right. And what you do is just to do um don't uh declare bankruptcy you know because that screws you up for seven years right and um what you do is just don't pay it and then after seven years your debt is forgiven and but you don't suffer the consequences of bankruptcy in the meantime so you just dive bomb your credit um i guess but like, it's already fucked. Yeah.

I do not have good credit. So you're just like, burn it to the ground. Yeah. And then from there, the new growth will sprout up. Yeah. When we just moved into a new apartment and we had to both give our credit scores and then the landlord got back to us and they were like, this is bad. Yeah. And then we said, uh-huh.

He's like, your girlfriend's credit score was a 740. Yeah. Yours was an emoji. It was the poo emoji. Right. It's an emoji I've never seen before. It was an emoji of your specific mother crying. It was somehow a thumbs down and a middle finger at the same time.

And then we said, yeah, what of it? And they're like, yeah, well, I guess. Yeah. You're renting a tiny place. You're good for like, yeah, well, I guess. Yeah. All right. Yeah. I mean, you're renting a tiny place. They did the, you're good for it though, right? Yeah. Credit check. Yeah. You're good for it though, right?

Yeah. But like your pay. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because this is at water. Yeah. You good with the needle and thread? All right.

Let's talk about the Mary Jane, as the kids call it. All the kids call it that, right, Miles? Oh, yeah. You're not lying to me about that. Nah, definitely not, officer. Tell me to- That's what we call it. Anyways, a study examined 183 heterosexual couples for some reason specifically,

and found some interesting things about cannabis use and its effects on intimacy in romantic relationships. We're specifically talking about this because Denver is now basically the new Amsterdam. It's shrooms. Shrooms are legal. Decriminalized or legal? Mushrooms. Decriminalized.

We'll become the first city to effectively decriminalize mushrooms containing psychedelic psilocybin. But you still need to buy them from a weird dude. They're not selling them at the weed dispensary. Or just hit me up for a Venmo. I was just in Denver and just doing a run of shows. And then the first show, someone was like, hey, do you want this quarter of bud?

I was like, okay. And he's like, if you need any more while you're here, just ask me and I'll give it to you. And I was like, this should probably be enough for four days. Are you smoking seven grams in four days? People love giving comedians weed. It seems to be like a thing. Not enough. So if y'all see me, just so y'all know, it's never enough.

I'll smoke that quarter right in front of you in one go. That's rude. Oh, you have to. I mean, I'll be like right i'll smoke that quarter right in front of you in one go that's rude oh you have to i mean i'll be like you'll smoke with me we'll we'll buy a phillies titan and we'll get a thing that's the thickness of a spray paint can and we'll we'll just take it to the face well you know what i mean gang gang and i will not smoke and you'll just look in a panic like mary jane huh i think the cops the cops might come dude the cops might i don't know i'll have a panic and think you don't like me. Yeah, right. I'm like, he's not even high.

My contact high is getting really insecure and not being able to talk to anyone. This dude is 30 feet away. He's texting me if I don't like him. Like, where are you? Miles. Up here in the parking structure. But anyway, in this study, they looked at like a 30-day period and they asked all the participants

to keep track of all the times they were smoking or using marijuana and also tracking what they call intimacy events, like do an app. Did Nielsen do the study? This is how Nielsen used to test ratings. And then it says, so at any time, so what they describe as an intimacy event

is any time yesterday, did you have an interaction or meaningful conversation with your partner that involved intimacy, love, caring, or support? So it's not just like fucking or kissing or feeling each other. It's about, you know, just real, true intimacy connection. And so over the course of this experiment, they found a few things. So first with intimacy events, the participants on average reported experiencing an intimacy event one out of every two days during the 30-day period. And the events are more likely to occur after 5 p.m. than before 5 p.m. And women reported significantly more intimacy events than men. And now in terms of marijuana use, participants on average reported using marijuana one out of every two days during the 30-day test period, and men reported significantly more marijuana use than women. So the link here between those data sets, what they found is intimacy events were significantly more likely to occur within two hours of a marijuana use episode.

And this was true if both partners or even just one partner engaged in marijuana use. So together they find, you know, there's a little bit of, they're finding a little information here that maybe there is a connection. You're not saying full stop, like, yo, get smoked out and everything will be all good because some people should not, cannot handle smoking weed. And I can't imagine that would help them become more intimate. But they say it's different too. Like they did a similar study with alcohol.

And the only time those the intimacy events were more frequent was with both people both partners were using alcohol like it couldn't just be one yeah there's whereas this one because it could just be one person being faded right and it's like oh yeah you're chilled out or whatever maybe you just feel more open yeah i mean this definition this is kind of a broad definition of intimacy event. And I mean, these are, you know, these are good things to have happening in a relationship. But, you know, like that's the sort of thing that I feel like marijuana use or a lot of different drug use. Marijuana's not a drug. Narcotic?

It's from God and it's from the earth. Oh, okay. My bad. My bad. Vegetable consumption? Veg earth. Oh, okay. My bad, my bad. Vegetable consumption. Veggies. I'm vegan. But I feel like it's good at making you maybe stop and appreciate things around you more,

whether that be somebody that you're in a relationship with. Yeah, or maybe it just shows shared cultural norms, too, that you might already kind of be on the same page if you are two people who are like, yeah, you smoke weed. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, that's true. Versus like I know people who are in relationships where one person is like, absolutely not. And you smell like weed when you come home from Miles' place. Yeah, but that would still indicate increased likelihood of an intimacy event, right? What do you mean?

Because isn't it – even if one person uses marijuana, they're still more likely to? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess so. But I guess, I just mean like if people don't have the same sort of values around its use, like if someone's very like, you know, dare brain and they're like, oh, drug, weed so bad, you'll get whatever. Yeah. Then I think already that person might not be very open minded.

But you know, like I'm not trying to box people in yeah all I know is if you smoke weed with me will be very intimate well as someone who's whose podcast has a weed sponsor shout out to smart bud damn I like to get high a lot and I got So I got no problem with this. Hey, all right, playboy. Yeah, no, of course. I mean, yeah, it all makes sense. After five, that's usually when you're smoking pot and having sex. Sure.

You're usually not having sex. At work. Yeah. Usually after work. Yeah. Depending on where you work. I have always conflated all of these things together because right at the time I saw or like started smoking and started having sex. And I watched Annie Hall right before that.

And she has to get high every time they have sex. Oh, right. Which makes sense because it's Woody Allen. Right. And but so that thought has like never left my brain. Right. And so that thought has never left my brain. I've always thought that. Yeah, yeah. That weed always helps sex.

And as an everyday smoker, I'm rarely having sex without weed. Yeah. And when I do, it's still great. All right. Wow. So you're good at sex is what I'm hearing. I'm so good at it. You know, let me bring my girlfriend in here. All right. Great. So you're good at sex is what I'm hearing. I'm so good at it. You know, let me bring my girlfriend in here.

All right. Great. That's a fleshlight. Her name is Lai. Her name is Tenga. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

So basically, those six states have, for all intents and purposes, banned abortion yeah through these heartbeat bills that they just and they call them cutesy heartbeat bills you know that are like but by the time there is a heartbeat in a fetus uh most people aren't even aware that they're pregnant so it's essentially like you know it's a very very troubling thing because when you listen when you even just look at the laws that are happening like like we are, I mean, my God, we are going to this dystopian world that I don't know what to say as a man, aside from my heart. It just, I cannot imagine. For example, right, in Georgia, which is a particularly disgusting bill, it's criminalizing abortions. People can go to jail for seeking an abortion. Doctors can go to jail for performing them after six weeks.

And it will even be illegal to go to another state to obtain an abortion or even help someone else to do so. So, like, I don't know how else you can say that is anything but a full-on assault on the reproductive rights of people. Jesus Christ. Even if you're trying to help somebody. Right. And even in a lot of these bills, they don't even have, you know, a lot of these pro-life people used to be like, okay, well, of course we support abortion in the, in the case of rape or incest. Uh, but in Ohio, not a lot of, right. But at least I guess I'm more thinking about like presidential debates. That's usually when you would hear that. That's

when like, you know, the Mitt Romney's of the world would be like, I'm pro-life, but in cases of rape and incest, obviously. Well in Ohio, right, there was this news story that came out about, you know, and this is a very just disturbing story, about this 11-year-old girl who was raped by a 26-year-old man, impregnated, and because of the bill in Ohio, can't seek an abortion. Right. And because there are no exceptions in that state. And with this law, they essentially will be forcing this forcing this 11 year old to carry the child to term. And, you know, obviously people are going to sue these these states to hell. But I think that's basically the plan, because in Roe versus Wade, it said no state can outlaw abortions before the fetus is determined to be viable, which is somewhere around 24 weeks.

before the fetus is determined to be viable, which is somewhere around 24 weeks. But in these other states, they're still passing these six-week abortion bans, basically so that these lawsuits will work their way to the Supreme Court and eventually just overturn Roe v. Wade. Right. And when you look at how conservative this court is, that is a very real threat to reproductive rights. And are these like the super conservative local justices that we've been hearing that the conservatives like under the Trump administration have just been

like kind of slamming through? In the future, those will be the kinds of judges who will hear those cases. I know in Kentucky, there was an Obama appointee who did actually block it. But it's still, you know, there are many ways to take the, get these bills to eventually the Supreme court, which is ultimately, that's just the strategy at this point, because the Supreme court is completely stacked or, you know, it's tilted towards conservatives. And in Georgia, you know, Coca-Cola, Amazon, the writer's guild, they were saying like, they would leave this state if quote unquote, Governor Kemp signed the bill into law. The ACLU said they're going to sue.

But it's just it's just troubling. It's so disturbing to think that these people have no ability to determine what they want to do with their own bodies, especially in the case of, I mean, obviously this is an extreme example, but an 11-year-old child who is going to have to relive this trauma for at least the next nine months or however long it takes for this pregnancy to go on, then to have the child. You know, there are a lot of organizations that you can donate to and look into because this is going to be a very, it's a very significant issue that I think a lot of people need to keep their eyes on because these are the kinds of rights that are just slipping through our fingers right now. And I mean, and this is reproductive rights, especially are such an important thing. And it's

wild to think too, when a lot of people are actually polled about the heartbeat bill, they're like, oh, I think that makes sense. Well, if it's a heartbeat, then yeah. But when they actually explain that it's like six weeks and the time it takes to even realize you're pregnant, there's a significant amount of people who go, oh, actually, no, no, no. That's terrible. And it's not like these bills. Yeah, if you present it like, do you want to kill a baby with a heartbeat? Right.

Right. No? Right. But it's also like, oh, but by the time these people find out, they're past the window where they could have an abortion anyway. So it's kind of this, you know, catch-22. So can people other than in Georgia go to other states to seek them? It depends on the state laws.

But in Georgia, I mean, yeah, like they will throw the book at you. And not to mention, they will even investigate miscarriages. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. So if they determine that a pregnant person did something that led to the miscarriage they would be jailed no right what the fuck and i mean i don't know how you are going to criminally investigate someone having a miscarriage right um but these are a trauma you go through having a miscarriage.

And then you have to fight the cops to stay out of jail. Investigating whether he thinks you did the right thing. With a Bible in his hand. Right, Jesus Christ. Again, so this is what's going on. And it's definitely spreading through different states. But I mean, this is the kind of thing that a lot of people were worried about. And this is what, you know, when the second Brett Kavanaugh got on the Supreme Court and everyone's like, this is what's going to happen. They're going to find their way to do it.

And they go, okay, let's enact these laws. They're going to obviously sue. We'll argue this shit to the Supreme Court. And, you know, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh give conservatives a W. But we'll see. Wow. Roberts, man. Hopefully Roberts is the new Kennedy.

You'd hope. Sometimes when I do stand up in a conservative area, I'll open by just saying some points about how liberal I am, just so they're not surprised when it happens. And I used to have a joke where I say that I think abortion should be mandatory in all cases of pregnancy. I couldn't be more pro-abortion. I hope everyone gets one early and often. And I hope that one day they let us men have them too.

That's my joke. Do people actually applaud? Yeah. I'm the only one clapping. Some guys are like, hey people actually applaud yeah I'm the only one clapping I'm seeing some guys like hey actually yeah yeah he's just

at the gym right now you say let him do them or let him but well again please please

keep your eye on this because this is something that is I mean I yeah we'll have some links to some organizations

you can kind of check out uh to stay up to date with everything that's going i mean what just what a normal everyday problem you know to criminal you know like i've never had an abortion but i've bought some day after pills in my day right to have the money to do it some people don't right really sad yeah and then when you think about people who might not even have the support network where they're like there's no way they can get out of their county or their town or their state right and are in a terrible situation and then on top of it you have these fucking ghouls uh in their state houses enacting these laws i mean in georgia like that bill only passed by like two votes and like that, that's where you realize, even in these state houses, what these majorities

mean for conservatives or liberals or whatever, like these are the kinds of things that are being fought on the state level that are that end up going to the Supreme Court and affecting things nationally. But, you know, the marathon continues. While we're scaring the shit out of you, let's look at a dystopia overseas in China. Because the stories that the New York Times podcast, The Daily, did on the Chinese security state earlier this week are pretty wild. is at the forefront of facial recognition technology because they're able to force every one of their billion citizens to submit for a facial scan.

So basically their algorithm is way sharper because it has so many more faces that have been used as inputs. And they're using that power for some really dark shit. Right now there's this minority group of muslims in china known as the uighur population and there was a like basically kind of a race riot uh back in 2009 that was you know 200 people died and china responded to that sort of in the, they over-responded to it and have been basically persecuting the Uyghurs ever since. who had like gone to the region and you know he's followed everywhere by people's republic of china um officials who are just like constantly following any foreign people but he said it's a surreal combination of like you have mud huts and generally like a cityscape that looks like

it's from hundreds of years ago except every other other building has these extremely high-tech People's Republic of China camera hanging on it. And they did a faux medical scan a couple years ago where the government bought Uyghurs in and got blood samples and scanned their faces in order to basically fully document their DNA and figure out who's related to who so they can basically even if you do something uh even if you escape after like doing something that pisses them off they will be like okay well every member of your extended family tree is now in a prison camp so it's like a dark fucked up 23andmeandMe situation. We've mapped out all your genetic sequence and we actually already know who's related to you.

that can immediately identify you because of their facial recognition technology. And ever since 2008 and the Beijing Olympics, they've been, you know, they used that as an opportunity to sort of show off this technology that they have. And now it's starting to appear in like Venezuela, Ecuador, and just other countries around the world. They basically are selling it to other countries that are interested in being autocratic. So as fucked up as our government is, it could be way more fucked up if we eventually... We're headed there. Yeah, once they start using this technology. What are some more applications of this technology? Because the one that you gave where they... so they know who your extended family is,

but like, isn't that information kind of easier to get? Yeah, I'm sure. But I think if you wanted to lie or something and claim you were someone else, they could genetically be like, no, you're this person and you're related to these people. Yeah, they just have everybody mapped and they know exactly where you are it's in real time it's just like a a higher level of just knowledge so they just have a group of oppressed like a muslim minority population with that's just surveilled to shit who are they're putting in giant prison camps like very like concentration which is so funny because the president is then

he was like trying to get other countries to put pressure on china to deal with the uighurs more compassionately right it's like oh wow you so you care about oppressed muslim populations right yeah oh that's interesting or is that just for your trade war because right now he's about to take up the i mean as of now i think that another set of tariffs are about to kick in. And, you know, that that the trade, quote unquote, trade war is not doing so well for a lot of people on both sides. As much as Trump wants to claim like total victory on that. Yeah. And even like the vice premier or someone from a like a Chinese economic think tank was sort of like they're like, really, does he think he's winning the war? Because every day he's trying to pressure the Fed to lower interest rates.

Right. He's like, oh, the economy is doing that hot, but you are constantly insisting on lowering interest rates. It's, you know. Yeah. He, Bloomberg said that the president wiped, President Trump wiped $1.5 trillion off of the Wall Street books with a single tweet the other day um which one uh it was the one about chinese trade policy i'm basically saying like it hasn't been working and oh the one who's like do they want to wait it out for a biden or something when he was like they

want to trade with that guy they're trying to ruin my re-election said that 10 tariffs will go up to 25 on friday 325 billion dollars of additional goods sent to us by China remain untaxed, but will be shortly at a rate of 25%. It was a really long tweet, and even then it was $13 billion for each of the 102 words in the tweet is what he cost banks. And I'm not too broken up about Wall Street bankers losing money. No, but it's so far as wall street pulls a lot of weight in this country it seems like they would be not thrilled right one it just all fits into his whole policy just bluff until somebody pulls your card and then you fucking retreat and you're like it's never worked right and we're seeing that happen over and over

he did that with his own businesses where they were saying like he would heavily invest in a company, bluff like he was going to take over, drive the stock price up and then sell just off of the, you know, notion that he might take over. Right.

And then he would get $10,000. Right, right. On top of that. And then even then, like even the foreign policy, the same thing, pull up with your chest out. Oh, Kim Jong-un, you better not do this. Oh, he, he, oh, on top of that. And then even then, like, even the foreign policy, the same thing. Pull up with your chest out. Oh, Kim Jong-un, you better not do this.

Oh, he heard me. Cut to short-range missile test launch. And then he's like, oh, well, the thing is, we agreed on long-range missiles, not short-range missiles. So he still respects me. There's, like, there's nothing to suggest that there's anything about his leadership is effective. And I mean, we say this every fucking day. But yeah, now we're in that part. Yeah.

I mean, it seems like if people like us weren't so anti-Trump, that people who support him would maybe accept that he's a fuck-up, but they're doing it to spite the culture war. He's so bad at his job. Yeah, but I think at the end of the day, his fuck-ups haven't really hit them in a way that they can really be like, mo' fuck. Right.

Because it's such a slow boil into being destitute or whatever that you can still, again, like we said, the same reasoning is still working, like pointing the finger at marginalized people and like, oh, that's the reason why I don't have shit. See, and that's why we got to be mean to them. Like that's still working. So I think until that strategy or that rhetoric doesn't work on them anymore and they realize, oh, wait, this is a function of capitalism when I'm being crushed by or whatever. And that's why I don't have anything. I can, I no longer have to blame people who have less than me. Maybe things will change then.

But I think until now, it's just easy to just go to their little MAGA rallies, put their hats on, scream rah, rah, rah, make jokes about shooting immigrants and keep it moving. Right. All right. Well, in honor of Mother's Day, guys uh we want to give you one piece of good news craft looking out for you moms yeah craft foods you know they're a food company so they're not evil yeah they just own every fuck it's it's so wild do you look at like everything that's actually a craft foods brand yeah they own choice. But they are giving mothers an opportunity for a $100 reimbursement for childcare to give moms a much-needed Mother's Day gift.

Yeah. And this is getting picked up all over the place because— Well, yeah. The thing is, right, it's so generous of them. Right. You know, they've put $50,000 into this pool for the mothers of America to get reimbursed for childcare. $50,000 of crafts dollars? Wait, I America to get reimbursed for child care. $50,000 of Kraft's dollars? Wait, I couldn't tell if this was an ad you were doing.

No, no, no. Now we're about to rip their fucking face off. Because it's one of those things, look like it's a PR stunt. You're like, oh, wow, Kraft, you're doing so great. Because there was a thing on care.com, I believe. They did a survey about what mothers would really, like what working moms, what mothers actually want, just in general,

not just on one day, because the emphasis of just being like, and here's the one day for moms. And then after that, let's go back to our heteronormative, gender normative thing of like, you just don't know how to handle that. So the things that they were asking for,

that were scoring very highly in the survey was for people, like, look, if you want to help your moms out, cook your own damn meals more, is what they said. Clean up after yourself more. Let moms sleep in. Be courteous, which is so sad.

Fucking respect your moms. Come on now. And then give them more opportunities for alone time, and that's where Kraft was like, ooh, here's our opportunity to just make ourselves look like we're really down with giving people childcare. So, I mean, first of all, when you even look at the cost of childcare and how much people are spending on childcare in this country,

it is a huge issue. And we don't actually even even we're not taking it seriously enough thinking of like the amount of the fraction of someone's income that goes to child care in certain instances like astronomical to the point where they have to put all these other needs aside because child care is so important so that's what makes this like hundred dollar reimbursement really fucking lame to me because a it's fifty thousand dollars that's 500 people right you know how there's an estimated what 40 to 43 million mothers in this country right so what is that one fucking one millionth of a percent one one hundred thousand people can say like you know we're being cynical about this uh i would like to compare the amount of $50,000 they're giving away to the amount of money they're spending on the campaign to get the word out that they're doing this, which is probably in the tens of billions of dollars.

Yeah. For the fiscal year 2017, Kraft Heinz reported earnings of $11 billion with an annual revenue of $26.2 billion. So they made $26.2. 11 of that was profit. Well, look, if the pool hasn't run out, you can go to their website and upload a receipt or whatever. There is no company that large that shouldn't be completely dismantled and everyone at the top should go to jail.

Oh, yeah. No. I 100% believe that. Oh, yeah. Those mega conglomerates. There's just no reason. dismantled and everyone at the top should be should go to jail oh yeah no i 100 oh yeah those like mega there's just no reason if you've consolidated that amount of money that should be criminal and you should be forced to give it back and go to jail yeah the effects of all that consolidation are up are written all over the face of this country so you know whether that's abstract to some people or not that's sort of that the deal. And again, the fucking lame ass charitable giving from these companies just miss me with that shit.

Because like when, you know, what did Jeff Bezos give recently? Like he gave like a billion dollars. Right. And they're like, that's like less than a fraction of his wealth. He didn't pay taxes. Yeah. He like owed a billion dollars in taxes. Right.

It's like, oh, I have an extra billion? Yeah. And so $50,000, it's like, I think that's where maybe, you know, we need the government to's like, oh, I have an extra billion. Yeah. And so $50,000, it's like, I think that's where maybe, you know, we need the government to be like, look,

bro, come up, come up off those profits or breaking this whole shit up. Right. You know, why don't you, you can, why don't you claim a billion dollars in profit?

That other 10, why don't you put that back into the people? Miles for president. Yeah. Oh boy. I'll be on the weed platform. But yeah, happy mother's day to all the mothers out there. When is mother's day? The 19th? The 12th. I'll be on the weed platform. But yeah, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there.

When is Mother's Day? The 19th? The 12th. Oh, it's the 12th? Oh shit. Mama! She's in Japan right now. I say happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and future mothers.

There you go. And fathers. And everybody. Yeah. And just, yeah, I mean, look, Jack, I know you're a parent, you know? One day I'll be a parent maybe if the world is around. That's one of my fears. If someday the two of us beat science, we can finally make that baby. Nick and I will have the first baby.

That would be tight. That would be incredible. Have you seen that? Can you imagine how popular this podcast would be? Oh, yeah. Did you see that Brent Weinbach video of the man who gave birth? Oh, was that a while ago? Yeah.

Anyway, Google that. But not at work. That was like 12 years ago. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

And we're grunting. We're just stretching out here. We're talking about McDonald's because they're bringing their international hits to the U.S.,

baby. Bring them. Bring the show. Bring it on home. I mean, look, before you could only get some of these at the headquarters in the Chicago location. So people in Chicago were spoiled. Right.

I've seen some extremely whack international McDonald's food items. I've seen like Spam burgers and shit like that. Oh, I would eat that. Yeah. I've seen, like, Spamburgers and shit like that. Oh, I would eat that. Yeah. I'm nasty, though. You are nasty. I eat corned beef hash out of can. But these actually look pretty fucking good.

Yeah, well, see, they did a good thing here. Yeah. They got things that I feel like will easily translate to an American palate. You're not hitting people with the teriyaki burger like in Japan. I mean, most people like that anyway. The Stroopwafel! Yeah. The Stroopwafel. Yeah, the Stroopwafel McFlurry from the Netherlands. Look, this looks beautiful.

Vanilla soft serve, caramel, chopped Dutch, Delman's Stroopwafel caramel waffle cookie pieces. Yes, sir. That's a winner. Yes, please. From Spain. And I love this name because it sounds like the most European version of what a McDonald's thing has to be called. The Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger.

The Grand McExtreme. Shout out to the Grand McExtreme, what they got. That one is just burger, bacon, smoky McBacon sauce. Don't know what that is. Gouda cheese and onions. Okay, I'll fuck with that. And then from Canada, from straight up north. Are they is Smoky McBacon sauce Gouda cheese and onions Okay I'll fuck with that And then from Canada From straight up north

Gouda Are they really getting gouda? Like actual gouda cheese? Ah McDonald's? Look come on Don't make it hot for them Okay

Who knows McDonald's I don't know man When they started Buying Apples for their salad They became the number one Purchaser of apples In the world

Oh really? Yeah Oh shit So I mean Sometimes they have to buy real ingredients. Sorry, Mott's. Uh-oh. Yeah.

Face Mott's. Shout out to Big Gouda, then. They're about to fucking make a killing. And then another one, tomato mozzarella chicken sandwich. Grilled or crispy, sliced tomatoes, herb sauce, creamy mozzarella cheese, onions and lettuce. I mean, that- That sounds great to me.

That's standard. I really, just for the name, like Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger. Yeah. I'm sure it was called Uncle Sam's Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger. And then they're like, guess what sounds good? Literally everything McDonald's has ever made sounds good. Yeah. But then you get there and you're like, all right, McDonald's made it.

In a lab next to them breeding mice with ears on their backs. Right. Which are delicious. Have you tried them? They're so fucking good. With little moths and some tomato. Tomato. I do believe, however, that the Stroopwafel McFlurry is unfuck-uppable.

Yeah. That looks impossible to fuck up. Caramel, yeah. Cookie, yeah. Yeah. Vanilla ice cream, yeah. Yeah. Waffle.

Give me that. Fine. Put it in my mouth now. It wasn't like suddenly it was like, and turmeric. You know, and then you're like, hmm. It should be. Yeah, like the thing that I would have expected from like a European country would be like a black licorice McFlurry.

Right. The rice-staffled McFlurry. We were in Seoul, Korea one year for my girlfriend's birthday. My brother was getting married, but it also just happened to be my girlfriend's birthday nearing the end of the trip. And it's more difficult than a lot of countries to eat food, to figure out what you're doing in Seoul. And so it was a little trying sometimes.

And then on her birthday in the morning, I took her surprise to McDonald's. Nice. Like two gross Americans. The reverse. We need a break. Let's go to McDonald's. And we went in there and I did not I recognized every single dish there wasn't anything there that wasn't

like in an American McDonald's oh really yeah I don't yeah there was nothing I wonder if it's because Korean food is so different from anything that would be on the McDonald's menu that they're like we're not even gonna fuck with this like we're not what are we gonna put kimchi on the menu the McDonald's menu that they're like, we're not even going to fuck with this. Like, we're not. What are we going to put kimchi on the menu?

Like McDonald's served kimchi. Well, hold on to your butts because Korean McDonald's, they got some. They got something for you. You got the soul. Give me, give me, give me. The soul spicy chicken. Well, also it was breakfast. It was slaw.

So they probably. Yeah, they could have had a lot of stuff that. Oh, kimchi shaker fries. Okay. For real? Oh, we got to? So they probably, yeah, they could have had a lot of stuff that day. Oh, kimchi shaker fries? Oh, for real? Oh, we got to take a trip to Seoul. I'm a Seoul man. Yeah, I mean, because breakfast is an American invention, they probably don't have that many other things.

Is breakfast an American invention? Yeah. The way we know it, maybe. The way we know it. Like it being a big meal. Yeah, like the farmers decided we need to eat 1,800 calories for breakfast. An ad person actually decided that. An advertiser was like, how do we make bacon sales go up?

Well, it's Mother's Day. Well, I worked on that dude who was on Fox News, had the plate of 10 fucking sunny side up eggs. Yo, that guy is my hero. That was on Fox the other day or two days ago. They do segments where they talk to people, the real Americans and diners and stuff. And they go up to a guy to talk about Trump-Russia stuff. And he's like, I think it's all garbage.

He's got a Trump hat on. And when you look at the shot, it was on Twitter. He had a fucking plate that had 10 sunny side up eggs on it and a little stack of toast. No. And it was almost like oh what the fuck is this what's your cholesterol like my friend i think the people that um think eggs are bad for you and the people that think eggs are good for you can both agree that that's not good and if that's your average if you're doing like every day that's 700 calories just in protein. Yeah, man. Just in your eggs. He lifts a lot, though.

Talk about an egg slut. Am I right? Oh, boy, yay. Do you think he calls himself that? Nah, probably not. Do you think he also went to egg slut right after that to eat some more? Yeah, exactly. And then I get lunch at egg slut.

Right. And then I have a quiche for dinner. Do you think the people listening to this know that there's a restaurant? Oh, yes. Sorry. Egg slut is a store. For people who are not in Los Angeles, are they only in LA? Yeah, it's an LA chain. Oh, is it?

Shit. All right. Yeah. I thought I was making a... It's only been a chain, I mean, even for like two years. Oh, there's one in Las Vegas, too. Yes, baby. So look, we're branching out.

The Greek freak. The Greek freak is doing things. I always root for people who is doing things like it's i i always root for people who are doing things on the basketball court that like you've never seen before and he has officially like busted through like the kool-aid man into that realm he's just fucking he's crazy he's an unstoppable does he like walk on his hands and shoot with his feet yeah kind of he's the first player to fart a ball off of his butt into the net, into the hoop.

I saw that in Tijuana once. Doing stuff we've never seen, man. He'll drive from the three-point arc and get to the rim in a single step. He's just the longest, most athletic dude. And dunk it. It's crazy. And, yeah, he just destroyed the Celtics, which I love to see. I picked the Celtics to go to the finals, and I was wrong and happy to be wrong about that.

But you do that because you know you're cursed, and that's how you get the Celtics to not make the finals. That's right. You're like, I pick them from the finals. Yeah, and when the season started, I picked the Chicago Bulls, baby. Hey, all right. How'd that go? We'll see. We'll see.

We'll see. Good eye. Good eye. Hey, we'll see, man. It's not over yet. Not over yet. Yeah, the Bulls might still. Always get a lawsuit.

Yeah, you never know. There might be a loophole. We might get into the back door. Tesla was trending on, again, not the number one search engine, Bing, but it was trending on a search engine called Google. Google, I'll Bing that. Yeah, Google. Google-ay.

Google-ay. And it was actually the number one search term on my favorite search engine, Pornhub, because someone filmed a porn in a Tesla while it was on autopilot mode and made Tesla the number one trending search on P hub uh and got into the google uh is it shout out to you was it pov porn uh no it's kind of like a weird angle like the the screenshots that i saw of it like it looks like it's from above yeah that's all oh like they hooked a gopro to the ceiling or something kind of i mean that's a flex where you're like you're holding the camera and then you look out the window like, no one's in the driver's seat.

Right. Fucking reckless. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, shout out to Tesla for the greatest marketing stunt. And potential Darwin Award winner of the year. Yeah. It was like an official porn shoot, though, because I guess the performer. They fucked the gas tank. Yeah.

No, there is no gas tank. The performer is a porn star, a name porn star, apparently. Who? I don't know off the top of my head. Riley Reid. And? I don't know. I just was filling in a blank space.

And Mr. Charles. Six energy drinks a day, not good for you. A woman who had that every day for uh too long time too long uh turns out uh she had to have a pacemaker put in at age 33 had a second degree heart blockage after she passed out right but it's hard to know like if that's what caused it or the math yeah well right she was she's like she says she has a real hectic lifestyle she's got three kids uh she has insomnia so like the energy drinks help her stay awake but it seemed like she may have just been in poor health and the energy drinks was only exacerbating insomnia yeah yeah you're drinking energy right that's i'm like when i read it i'm like it's like i don't know if it's

exactly like these energy drinks did that it's like this may have been a sort of out of control train wreck. If your lifestyle is such that you are considering drinking six energy drinks a day, there's something off. Like, just go to the doctor instead of drinking six energy drinks a day. Yeah. Well, we got to look out. Look, look out for anybody who's having to stay that caffeinated in general. It's a cry for help, I think, either way. I wonder if there was a moment where she was like, you know what?

Five's not enough. I'm going to bump it up. Right. I'm going to do six now. First, it was like four. And we're like, come on now. Like, come on, Samantha. That's normal.

One for every meal. All four meals. Fourth meal, taco. Fourth meal, taco. Thank you. Then fifth meal, then sixth meal, and then it's like, that's when I eat at 3 a.m. at Waffle House. I used to drink probably four sugar-free Red Bulls a day.

Damn. Back in the crack days. Wow. Consistently. Yeah, pretty consistently. It was only for, like, a couple months, but I could, like, feel, like, my fingernails loosening. It was, like, bad. It was not good.

Your fingernails loosening. Yeah. I was not very healthy. Oh, is that why you type with the back of your fingers? Uh-huh. Yeah, with my knening. Yeah. I was not very healthy. Oh, is that why you type with the back of your fingers? Uh-huh. Yeah, with my knuckles. Yeah. I used to do one pretty regularly back when I was in New York when it was day job and

then got to do comedy at night and stay out all day. But I take naps six, seven a day now. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to naps. Yeah. Shout out to people who have the luxury to take a nap too. Thank you. Naps should be a right. Yeah. You know what I mean? You shouldn't have to people who have the luxury to take a nap too. Thank you. Naps should be a right.

Yeah. You know what I mean? You shouldn't have to travel to a different state to get a nap. Exactly. And finally, the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones coming this weekend. We wanted to take this opportunity to say goodbye to the characters we know are going to pass because we have a leaked script. And that, no. We actually don't know shit.

Nick, you especially don't know shit. You're a season behind. All I know is what I've written in my fan fiction. Great. So I think I like to know from, how far are you in season seven right now? I'm three episodes. Okay, three episodes in?

Yeah. Okay, so how do you think it's gonna be? What do you think the penultimate episode's going to happen based on where you're seated? I think by the end there's going to be a hashtag fourth dragon Taco Bell. Oh. That is something people are thinking about, though. Hashtag fourth dragon. I can't imagine anyone you care about will be left alive.

Interesting. You know, I want everyone to die. You want everyone to die? Everyone to die because we can't see them anyway. I don't want them to continue living their lives after I can't see what they're up to. No, I want everyone to die. You want everyone to die? Everyone to die. Because we can't see them anyway. I don't want them to continue living their lives after I can't see what they're up to. No, it has to be done. Kill them. Y'all are going to have fun while I don't get to see.

I want the dragons to blow fire on all the eunuchs and they get their penises back. Wow. Varys might like that. Yeah. Yeah. Could you imagine all those hot dudes Just suddenly get penises Oh you're talking about The Unsullied

The Unsullied Yeah The Unsullied Yeah Wait do they have Were they castrated Oh not Reek Yeah

Yeah yeah They were castrated That's weird though That like We There's a lot of characters That have had their dick Cut off in that show

Like there's Reek Yeah Yeah once you start with it Right You can't go And you just Hand over the box man There's a lot of characters that have had their dick cut off in that show. Like there's Reek. Yeah. Yeah. Once you start with it. Right. You can't go and you just can't. Pandora's box, man. There's the spider.

Varys, yeah. Varys. And then there's an entire army of them. But are they, but they have their genitals removed or they are castrated? Wait, isn't that the same thing? Castration. Castration is like beheading. Testes too? Castration removes the testes too?

Castration is when you have your testicles removed. Okay. But isn't a eunuch having your penis and your balls cut off? I don't know, man. You know what? We never get a good shot down there. Yeah. Well, I think that's going to be the last shot.

I guess it's going to be like the end of Boogie Nights. It's just going to be various. No, I guess a eunuch is also a person who has had from antiquity had been castrated in order to serve a specific social function castrato yeah who were oh there is a wild like that bald yeah that's right i mean either way yeah restore everybody if they want to be you know if they're living their life then do your thing but uh magic dragon breath to bring the hardware back. I also want like one scene in the finale

that's just like a hundred coffee cups just to be like fucking all over. The coffee cup thing was like people really went,

I don't know, it seemed like we needed something to distract ourselves that day because people were just all over the place. Well it is just a weird

fuck up. You know what I mean? For a show that's so thorough about keeping things in place. I haven't seen it but I heard that the creators were in that scene. Yeah, they were also in the scene. Well, it is just a weird fuck up. Yeah. You know what I mean? For a show that's so thorough about keeping things in the past. I haven't seen it, but I heard that the creators were in that scene. Yeah, they were also in the scene.

That's so funny. It was definitely his coffee. So funny. And no one could like, I guess, don't tell DB that he's fucking coffee. So you're going to get funny.

Benny off will rip your fucking face off. But again, you know, just go full confidence as if you know what's happening. Sure. Just describe to me what happens in the penultimate scene.

Give me three acts. Well, can I just say that Tyrion and Daenerys – Okay. He thinks Tyrion and Daenerys are still alive. Sorry. I'm being a dick. I don't know what's happening. Okay.

No, no. That's not true. Well, I think being a dick. I don't know what's happening. No, no, that's not true. Well, I think that they definitely win. And then they kill everybody personally. Okay, personally. And then they're about to kiss. Because then they turn to the camera and they're like, you didn't really think it was going to end that way, did you? And then their soulmates appear.

And like whoever they are, I don't know know but they come and they have two different and they they they rule together wow yeah as like a as husband and wife of other people wow okay and the people and and denaris's husband has two penises dang oh the dude from reddit what two dick Dick Rick or whatever. There's a dude on Reddit who did an AMA. He's like, I'm the guy with two penises. Ask me anything. And ask me whatever. Well,

Okay, now I just got to wait 25 minutes to Bing this. It's on your phone too? Damn. He's like, I can't escape Bing, man. You have to get in line to Bing. Bing is a one at a time search engine.

Okay. Oh my gosh. Anyways, it's fitting that the penultimate episode is happening on Mother's Day. There's a couple mothers having the mother of all showdowns. Yeah. We'll see. Wow. I don't know.

I need some big characters to lose the Game of Thrones, so to speak. Yeah. It's hard to say what we want to happen out of respect for your journey. Well, and everyone, because why do you, you know? Well, we typically tell people this is spoilers. We're like, yo, just skip this part. Did you say that this time? No, but we didn't really spoil anything.

Yeah. I saw a spoiler on Facebook. It said, spoiler, and then one of the biggest game of thrones spoilers and it did there wasn't even like a space it wasn't on a different line right they're just like spoiler this right and not realizing our eyes just track very naturally to the next word are you talking about and then i wrote on there um it's like hey just to let you know this was a bummer yeah right uh the spoil you gotta do like the thing where it's way lower yeah you gotta click see more and then he responded in no way right huh because you know what the rules are

what is it 48 hours yeah 48 hours for a tv show two weeks for a movie i got different rules okay here's my rules uh no spoilers until it is in the American lexicon. Like, until Scary Movie has parodied it or something. No spoilers. No spoilers ever. Wow. What is a spoiler other than just someone saying something for no reason? You want to have a conversation about it?

Do it. Yeah. Talk to your friend. But don't just post, spoiler, this thing happened. Well, that's pretty aggressive. Don't just post, E.T. died. E.T. died? What?

Oh, yeah. Well, that was in the- Motherfucker. Are you serious? That's in my Game of Thrones fanfic. At the end, E.T. gets eaten by one of the dragons. Oh, shit. That would be tight.

Yeah. All right, I can deal with that. Yeah. But E.T. died for real? Spits him out. Hey, does E.T. pull out? Not in the E.T. movie. Oh, good.

Yeah. Okay. But one has to imagine he'd probably be dead now oh fuck just like all the all the animals in the incredible journey

yeah well I don't want E.T. to die ever oh I thought you were saying fuck that you're glad he's dead no no

no I remember I I saw E.T. as a kid and I hid myself amongst like stuffed animals I had in my bedroom like and just laid him on top of myself with like stuffed animals i had in my bedroom like and just

laid them on top of myself with my face only the thing showing my mom thought i was kidnapped jesus christ because i didn't say she's like she was calling for me and i was like this she thought you pulled a jared leto and just had a some i just took off no but like she didn't know because she she just you know scanned my corner of my bed. It did not register. And I was like, oh, this is fucking tight. Shout out to ET. She couldn't have just let out one miles? I didn't know. But I'm a shitty four-year-old.

And I'm like, she's fucking crying. And then I'd be like, mom, come on. And then she gave me the smoke. Yeah. Nick, it's been a pleasure having you. Oh, my god. Thank you so much. It's my favorite place on earth. Back to the street. Keep. Nick, it's been a pleasure having you on. Oh my God, thank you so much. It's my favorite place on Earth.

You can start with two weeks ago, Anna Hosni. Hey. Our best episode ever. The only good guest we've ever had. Not familiar. Who is it?

What's that? Anna Hosni. Oh, she's your producer. Oh, the Super Producer Anna Hosni. She's in the room. The only other person in the room. You didn't say her legal name. Super Producer Anna Hosni.

And a tweet that I like. Just something I think is very interesting. You know, cauliflower is very popular. And Dan Smith, Danane Smith or underscore Smith S-M-I-F wrote this it says no one has had a bigger

glow up in the last 10 years than cauliflower and went from being an ashy broccoli to being the mystique of vegetables always coming at you with a new shape

you want rice mashed potatoes pasta cheese a man low cost housing make it from cauliflower that's good I totally agree

and yeah I mean I just had the cauliflower pizza for the first time. Because everybody's like, you gotta try the cauliflower crust pizza. Cauliflower or whatever. And I'm like, oh, it's not bad. Shit, go. I've made cauliflower pizza before. The cauliflower crust?

Yeah, with no flour in it. With just cauliflower and cheese. And it is impossible. It just falls apart. You have to get the cauliflower so dry that you can't want the pizza in that day. Right. You have to let the cauliflower dry for days. Or else it's going to be too wet and it's never going to work.

Well, that's why I just buy it somewhere. I get the cheesecloth specifically for it. Oh, so you really are. Yeah. And then you just squeeze. I would just spend hours squeezing out the water out of this cheesecloth, and then it's just still too wet. You couldn't just put a bunch of weights on it and let it naturally press out like that, do its thing? Yeah, well, no.

This is my workout. This is my workout. Oh, yeah. I couldn't afford the weights, so I bought cheesecloth. So you know the bench press that you have at your house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just take the weights from there and put it on that. Oh, you mean my bed?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. That's why you just got the one big arm. Oh, you mean my bed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. That's why he's just got the one big arm. Tweet I enjoyed is from the classic Megan Amron. At Megan Amron tweeted,
