We're doing Rome, Florence, Venice, Amalfi Coast, and then shooting over to Athens for two days. Inevitably, you'll see Il Duomo. And as you walk through the piazzas of Florence,

We're married, Jack. I got to say, though, I'm always impressed how you guys managed to level up your intros. It started with just excited recitations of your names. Then it went to a nickname or two.

Then it went to a string of 15 AKAs. Now you guys are full on committing to cover song lyrics. Oh, also, I need to tell people next week what the theme of the AKAs are going to be.

Oh, shit. Continue the Nickelback AKAs. Oh, my God. No. Yep. No. Keep them coming. It can't be.

No

For that, aka Dragonzord1 What do you mean? Anyways No, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment First, we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about We are going to recap the fuck out of that debate Not really, we're just going we are going to recap the fuck out of that debate not really we're just gonna like kinda give our loose

observations that from half paying attention to the debate while eating a bunch of really bad fast food there's a lot of pressure on you guys to recap it well cause full disclosure I completely did not watch knowing I was coming to do the podcast hoping you guys would drop

truth bombs on me. Advocate for the audience and ask any question as specific as you'd like, because we pretty much remembered every soundbite. That's how committed I am to making this podcast great, is I wanted to play the role of audience and hold you guys to a higher standard. Well, as a writer, you consider the audience and

see, that's why we love having you here. So you managed to pry yourself away from watching the debate. Nothing more than watching the debate is what I woke up wanting to do this morning. It's like, no. No, you know what? For the listeners, I'll sit this one out. Because I gang, yeah. We're also going to listen to a few things our current president had to say about vaping.

We talked on yesterday's episode about how he was declaring war on e-cigarettes, but we hadn't gotten the full texture of how he spoke about them in the, in the press conference. So we're just going to listen to a couple of sound bites. We're going to talk about the new SNL cast. There's some exciting announcements. Two picks nearly canceled each other out. We're going to talk about the best local news interview ever.

We're going to listen to that. And a tweet from Rudy Giuliana. That's right. Rudy Giuliani. Ah. Yes. He tweeted a video that was kind of next level propaganda. Oh, fuck yeah.

Full on like police state porn. Police state porn. But first, Noah, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay. Well, Miles should be on board with this one. I Googled today, is fettuccine Alfredo Italian? Because in preparation for going to Italy, everyone keeps on talking about the food.

And I'm not going to apologize for the fact that I love fettuccine Alfredo, specifically Olive Garden's fettuccine Alfredo. I know it's not high quality, but every time I talk about that and every time I've told people I'm excited to get fettuccine Alfredo in Italy, they're all like, it's not even Italian. Yeah, right, right, right.

That's not even Italian food. Is it? What did you find out? According to the Wikipedia, yeah, it was created in Italy by a chef in Rome in the 20th century. So it's not like ancient Italian food, but yes. Okay. I will not apologize. So are you going to go to the birthplace of?

You're goddamn right I am. So you're able to find the actual, there is a restaurant? No, but now that I know it originated in Rome recently, I'm confident that I can find the spot. So your next search was Olive Garden, Rome. Yes. Where's the Olive Garden in Rome at? Exactly. What is something you think is overrated?

Okay. Well, maybe super producer Anna can jump on board with this one. Not trying to sound like a crazy Hollywood elitist. I don't know if this will register, but I'm actually trying to make people at home feel better outside of Hollywood. One thing that is incredibly overrated, especially as awards season comes up, is industry parties. From afar, you hear about Emmy parties, Oscar parties, Golden Globe parties, or any time shows have parties. Industry parties, just so you guys know, you should never feel left out. You should be thankful that you're nowhere near them.

They are never fun. It's always you having to dress up to an uncomfortable degree, sit around. If you're lucky, there's never enough seating. It's always awkward. Unless you get aggressive and then they're like, excuse me, this is for the fucking PPF. Exactly.

Either you're standing for three hours or you're in a seat you're not supposed to be in. You usually go with the four people you're comfortable actually talking to if you're lucky there's five people to say hi to and then you're just stuck in a hot room in a hot suit for three hours standing yep that's how industry parties overrated that sounds amazing to me i mean get me in there and half the times they're so opulent it's like what a older person's idea of what a cool party was going to be. That is only cool for them. Right.

And then, but then there'll be like a good DJ. But then the playlist they were told to play is like not good. I was at, yo, I remember an Amazon party a few years ago. Questlove was spinning and like they made, like there were some songs. I was like Questlove. Play some of these. They wouldn't let Questlove be Quest. I don't know. Like, I were some songs I was like, Questlove. Play some oldies. They wouldn't let Questlove be Quest. I don't know.

I can't imagine that he would also be a DJ who would have a playlist dictated to him. But maybe he was just reading the room, which a good DJ would do. But then again, there were mostly executives going like, it's Questlove. Right. Well, that's like, I imagine he felt as a DJ the way I feel sometimes you get a gig, where it's like you'll have a bunch of young, drunk people in the front, and then 60-year-olds in the back, and you somehow have to make everyone in the room laugh.

What's the question? Questlove was like, all right, I got cool young people on the dance floor and the 60-year-old execs that signed my check at the end of the night, so I got to mix it up. It's like, I'll mash up Lana Del Rey with House of Pain. I mean, how could that fail? Have you heard the new Lana Del Rey album, by the way? No, I hear people love it.

It's very good. Great. She's doing something with Ariana Angels, right? Lana, Ariana, and there's a third banger female. I forget who it is, but it's like three big names doing a Charlie's Angels something. It's called Don't Call Me. And Miley? And Miley, there it is.

Oh, shit. So look out for that. Lanari Ami Simas. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Hip and groin stretches. Okay. Wow.

I would argue that's how you know I'm 35. Right. Yeah, Miles got it. You'd stand up and clap, but your hip and groin. Yeah, my hips. No, stretching in general is underrated, but specifically I feel like when people stretch, they go straight for the hammies or the back, not knowing that a lot of the tightness in the core and the midsection is due to tight hips and groins.

Especially if you were sitting down. That's what I'm saying. Like we do out here. Woo! Oh, man. Yeah. Hit that butterfly to the zoo. Hit that crisscross applesauce.

Stretch them out, baby. Sorry about your hip flexors. Get them all nice and open. Oh, so crisscross applesauce is the hip stretch. Okay. I was trying to picture a hip stretch. Well, yeah. There's many ways.

That's the remedial hip stretch. That's just how to warm them up. And by hip, you mean cool and width at times. Or you can do another one where you're lunging and you've got your arms straight oh yeah you're yeah now i know why you're clapping up you're ready to go oh yeah you're about to hit that warrior three aren't you hell yeah bro go and say warrior three as they all know but i think for me it was being so sedentary like over the years and when you like do less sports or whatever and i was like something's not right and then after reading just like how your body begins to cave in on itself,

I was like, oh, right, you've got to counteract it. You've got to open it up. The foam roller is a godsend. Oh, yeah, we have one here, but I have not used it. Get on it. It's too heavy, I've always found. Pick up. I think it stinks.

What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? Here's a myth that I would like to debunk from recent personal experience. When you talk about weddings, people assume that the grooms are passive participants and do nothing and that women automatically get crazy and turn into bridezillas. And in my personal experience, that couldn't have been further from the truth. I was very hands-on, incredibly active in the planning, and my wife could not have been more laid back about everything.

So while I'm sure there are grooms who just let it happen and show up, and while there are women who fucking go nuts making sure their perfect day happens, oftentimes it's an equal sharing of responsibility or even tilts in the other direction where the man is more hands-on. So I'd just like to debunk the myth that weddings are all about women becoming crazy brides and men being passive participants. Did you really throw red wine in your wedding planner's face at the wedding? Listen, I specifically asked for a rose-fold napkin.

Right. Oh, boy. While screaming, this is my special day. Yeah. Yeah. No, I kept it all together. But I was, so many times when we would go meet with different people, they'd be like, so, she's just telling you when to show up, right? And I'm like, actually, we people, they'd be like, so. Right.

She's just telling you when to show up, right? I'm like, actually, we're at this meeting right now because I. Right, right, right, right, right. What was something specific that you suddenly were like, you know what? I actually very much care about this thing I did not think I would care about. Well, so for me, neither of us put a hard stamp on this is how it has to be in terms of the actual evening. put a hard stamp on like this is how it has to be in terms of the actual evening but like in terms of getting together addresses or making sure the invitations get sent out on time or making sure that we get the table arrangements to the wedding planner on time that was all me i was like mr excel spreadsheet wow wow okay what was your wedding song uh lovely day bill withers and we

did a choreographed dance did you yeah i had a choreographed like a routine we did a routine and the thing is as a performer you know like i don't get shy or embarrassed on stage as a comedian at all i was so nervous about this dance really but i think we it's funny because we killed that she was good yeah that's That's a special move. She wanted to do the choreographed dance, and my one rule was like, we can't do the fake out. We can't do the corny, like, we're going to slow dance, and all of a sudden, what?

Right, right, right. It's the disco remix? So we just let it be known. We took our separate spots on the dance floor, and we're like, DJ, drop that shit. DJ, being the band, we had a wonderful break. If you're into Bill Withers' weird trivia, his drummer, James Gadsden, who's playing drums in the Ain't No Sunshine clip that everyone kind of memes

when he's like, I know, I know. This dude, he, to this day, wears this terrible Afro wig. And he plays sometimes. Yes. This dude, he is. Just look up James Gadsden's hair. Like a problematic Afro wig? No, no.

He's black. Oh, okay. It's just like. Like a problematic? No, no. He's black, but he just... Oh, okay. It's just like... Wait, what? This is like pre-LeBron black hair trickery. Got it. He has this... His wigs have changed over time, but he still wears this thick-ass wig.

And he plays sometimes in the Valley. And I've seen him because I'm like, yo, James... Because he's an amazing drummer. But I could not believe... No one's told him, like, hey, you're 80. Like, nobody's told him. You had that fact ready to go. Well, because I love Bill Withers.

And I think that, yeah, like, he's a great musician. And also, I'm a big fan of drummers, like Obscure Drum. I don't know if he's obscure. I also love that, well, I don't love, I sarcastically, in quotes, love that where we are in society is the phrase that Jack just uttered is actually something we all understood, problematicro yeah oh really no no he's definitely not fun with that for me did you you guys mutually agreed on on your wedding song that's yeah well it was we were in a long search of like we were just trying to find something that felt right and

then one day she suggested and i was like i love that song and that's perfect we didn't want to do something super slow but we wanted something appropriate and nice and it was great yeah great choice and a great song for the occasion a lovely day exactly uh let's talk vaping the war on vaping you guys yeah um another war another war just tired of all these vape wars. Yeah. So, I mean, I didn't know much about the vaping scene until the president kind of painted a picture with his words. Let's hear these quotes. Yeah, we're just going to play a couple clips.

Let's start off with just the opening of the press conference. We have a problem in our country. It's a new problem. It's a problem nobody really thought about too much a few years ago, and it's called vaping, especially vaping as it pertains to innocent children. Here we go. And they're coming home and they're saying,

Mom, I want to vape. Parents don't know too much about it. And nobody knows too much about it. But they do know it's causing a lot of problems. Nobody knows too much about it. We're going to have to do something about it. Yeah. These kids are coming home.

Mom, I want to be a vapist. I want to vape. I'm just trying to vape, Mom. I want to vape. It's so great. It's such a profound misunderstanding of children. Because you know he was never a normal kid, like ever. His mother, I could not imagine going to that mother and being like,

Mom, I want to leave the room. Also, as if you're the type of kid that would vape, you'd come home and ask for permission. Right. No, that's what you're saying. You fundamentally misunderstand how kids would think. How kids work. Mom, can I have some of that gin that's in the liquor cabinet?

Yeah, mom. And then I'll refill it with water. But the way he's also talking is like, I'm sure if like whenever like men started dancing more and like toxic fathers were like, these kids, my son wants to dance. He comes home and he's like, dad, I want to dance. dance you know it's like the way he's talking about vape he's like mom i want to vape it's my truth right exactly uh the whole thing man is just wild what i did read though there have been other um reports about how like a lot of the actual issues have come from like janky thc vape cartridges right yeah i mean we talked about this i think it was actually the episode that you were out but

that like a lot of the people who are getting sick it's like from bootleg like black market altered uh like lead ones right yeah and like by making it, they're just creating a larger black market. Well, A, missing the issue. Right. It's like, but that way, but you're going after flavored tobacco jewels rather than the janky like THC cartridges too that are unregulated. I mean, somebody is getting like, it's got to be like the tobacco industry or something. Like somebody's putting a lot of money into making this happen. Because granted, like vaping is not great. we've talked shit about how vaping isn't like

we've talked about how vaping like that's targeted at kids isn't great and like that it's not like there are definitely some dark sides but like the fact that this is the thing that's being targeted yeah and cigarettes are still legal and so are assault rifles. They're connecting dots that are very far apart. You obviously have me on assault rifles. Obviously, guns are worse. I don't know that cigarettes are worse than vapes. I'll be honest.

I'm pretty anti-vape across the board, whether it's flavored tobacco or THC, shitty THC, kids, adults. I've never been a fan of vaping for a health standpoint and from a you look like an asshole standpoint. Yeah. You definitely look like an asshole. Dude, check this out. Whoa.

Clouds. Clouds. Holy shit. Fucking backdraft, dude. Is that cumulonimbus? That is incredible, Miles. You burned him, Steven. Yeah yeah i do think smoke is bad for you smoking's really bad for you if anything was going to be uh made illegal for being bad for

you uh smoking should probably have been made illegal it's just kind of the the devil you know argument right like cigarettes are horrible but at least true at this point i feel like we have a pretty well-founded knowledge of what like how bad they are right vape it's still the great unknown i mean the thing that's funny about him completely misunderstanding how kids operate is like the reason they would vape instead of smoking is because vape you can't like smell it on the kid like and it's much harder to much easier to hide uh so it's actually the fact that kids aren't coming home and saying mom i want to vape i want to vape coming to broadway this fall mama i want to vape is my favorite thing he's ever said uh and then

there was also just a fun little thing where he was talking about how the first lady first got interested in this issue. And I'm hearing it. And that's how the first lady got involved. And she's got a son together that is a beautiful young man. And she feels very, very strongly about it. She's seen it. We're both reading it. A lot of people are reading it.

But people are dying with vaping. So we're looking at it a lot of people are reading it but people are dying with vaping so we're looking at it very closely uh-huh yeah i think like what five or six people yeah died a lot of people a lot of people uh wow just you know you can tell he's still he's still a little bit there because it's together she's got a son together yeah beautiful young man that is beautiful young man but but that's when we'll know like when the ship has fully left the dock is when he just when he just full goes she's got a son when he stops claiming baron yeah or like realizes that like these things like he's fucking up when he's like yeah she's got this son this kid baron right you know yeah and he said he came home and he's like ma i want to vape right a lot of people are reading it right a lot of people

a lot of people are reading it yeah that's like i'm reading it she's reading it a lot of people are reading it right a lot of people a lot of people are reading it yeah that's like i'm reading it she's reading it a lot of people are reading sounds like somebody who doesn't read you know it's interesting though the snowball effect of like all these kind of shady side industries i saw an article online i didn't read the article but just the headline i i even want to say it might have been like Forbes.com but it's possible that I'm attributing it to someone incorrectly was like Trump banning e-cigarettes has the Bitcoin community worried

because it's basically like all these unregulated industries are basically like well if he can do that then what's next? Yeah. No that makes sense. And then it becomes this greater like they take away our guns they take away our liberties type snowball argument. What's next? If they take away our guns, they take away our liberties type snowball argument. What's next?

If they take one, it's just a house of cards. Right. Next thing you know, they want to vape. Right. What, I can't fucking smoke my vape while I buy my Bitcoin? Fucking trade my Ethereum, dude. I thought this was America. I mean, it's only a matter of time until Bitcoin start killing people.

Yeah. I mean, all right. Isn't that how they kind of started? I don't know what Bitcoin is. Don't worry. It's what you use to give people to kill someone. Oh, okay. It's Hitman.

Hitman funds. Venmo for the dork shit. Oh, yeah, I guess it is, right? Venmo for Hitman and heroin. Yeah. All right. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be back to discuss the debate.

Oh, my God, yo.

He's, he, I, again, I don't want to get my facts wrong, but he, like, won Golden Gloves, or he's, like, a Golden Medal winner at his age group. He is an elite boxer. Then Miles asked me, do I think I could beat him up, and I said, no. Here's why. I've seen the clips of him boxing.

I don't think he would fuck me up. I don't think I could hit him. Boxing is defensive. He's tiny and quick. I think he would dodge my punches. I'm not talking about a fair fight, dude. I'm talking about beating up a kid who's talking too much shit with his face tattoos. All I'm saying is if he was in this studio right now, he might put it on you.

Honestly, if I was seated and I let him go, just hit me with a clean one, I'd probably be knocked out. Forget the picture of him looking ripped. Watch the videos. I'm telling you, this dude has hand skills. All right, dude, just let me have my fucking fantasy where I'm still vital. No, I want the Zeit gang to know that this little drug dealer from Euphoria will put hands on Miles Gray. I mean, that's why I came back from break so quick, because I wanted to get this beef started. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, shit. He's no joke. Oh, shit. Okay, well, here's the deal. I'm not. Okay, hold on. This is what I say.

He's got quick hands and a quick core. And defense. Shit's weak. I'll eat that shit up, bro. I'll eat those. He just threw 10 punches before you'd get your fucking groin stretched. I'll smack him in his ear, and he'll be like, oh, why'd you do that? And I'll be like, that's right, kid.

I'm 35. Why the police here? I'm arrested for putting my hands on a child. Okay, bye. It is really important to Miles that he believe he can beat children up. I always say you can't underestimate. Yeah, I was going to say, in his defense, you can't underestimate old man strength. That's true.

Really, though. That's one thing I'm realizing. You know, because when you're a kid, you remember playing pickup basketball with somebody who's 40, and you're like, dude, this guy's slow. And then he bodies you in the pain. And you know what that is? That's the extra weight of having to pay a mortgage. Yeah, right.

Exactly. That's what I'm like. Just based off mass, it's like Jupiter versus Mars. It's also you just learn how to move your body better as you age. And also, I'm not threatened by this kid because he's ripped at six packs. You learn how to move your body better as you age? You just saw that video. Miles is not moving his body. Not quicker.

Oh, my God. He's straining, walking backwards on a fucking treadmill. That's what I'm saying. You want no part of this kid. That's what I'm telling you, Miles. Okay part of this kid that's what i'm telling you i want smoke i'm talking about it like you i'm winking everywhere there's like a practical i've talked about this before i think on the show but there's a practical like aspect to strength and knowing how to do things with your body yeah this kid's vaulting the gifts get more intense anna

are you laughing because you're imagining how badly he'd fuck Miles up? It would look like that shit in Barry where that little girl just breaks off everybody. We're talking about a world-class athlete. Yeah, this kid is gonna- You thought he drew on a fake little raindrop tattoo and you were just gonna punk him. Little did you know, this motherfucker will whoop you. You know what? Old man's strength is real.

You know what I'm gonna do now, Noah? I'm gonna try and get that kid to fight you, so you're going to have to beat him up and realize you could have beat him up. Yeah, that sounds like a flawless plan. You know what you just did? You just did what happens when you owe someone money, you lost a bet, and you're like, well, they owe me money, so get it from him. Actually, he was the one who put me up to it, bro.

Don't try to transfer that shit talking to me. I was over here telling you all along. You call sign it, bro. Let's talk debates. This is a debate right here not the debate we just had. What we just debated is way more interesting than what other bullshit

you're about to talk about. Hold on, for the record, I'm fighting the character, not a real life child boxer. No. Have to change the rules. I don't know. I mean, it's impossible

that you would fight that. Well, in a world like Euphoria where people are doing wild crimes and there's no repercussions. Right. Okay, now he's doing a handstand walking on it.

Okay, never mind. Fuck this kid. I mean. I'm going to follow him on Instagram, though, so I can learn his move. You'd have been better off trying to bring that smoke to Fez. That's all I'm saying. Well, no. I believe he's dangerous.

I don't know what the fuck. Are these all Euphoria characters? You didn't watch Euphoria? I didn't. All right. So Dem debates then you know we could have talked with this could have been a euphoria recap show but um i guess we'll talk about could you kick from euphoria uh yo i'll tell you somebody we'll have to delay that

for a later date what the who's ass could you kick from euphoria euphoria once i've seen it i believe all the other characters would beat my ass just just not that kid. Somebody who looked like they might have caught one before this debate, Biden's teeth almost fell out at one point. Did they? Yeah. At the end or the beginning? It was like right in the middle. It was like he was being asked a question,

and you could see he was like doing that thing. So you think he has a full denture situation? Yeah, I think so. Oh, yeah. Chompers. Those things are too beautiful to be his real teeth. Yeah. And if they are, then he should be president based on keeping his teeth that good for that many years.

Just based on the discipline it takes. Yeah, for real. I thought overall it was probably his best showing, which doesn't say too much. Yeah, I mean, like, I think for the top three, there's nothing really new. Nothing changed for me about Biden, Sanders, or Warren. They're kind of, they did their thing. Biden talked a lot. But, I mean, when you go down, you know, this was mostly a debate where people from on the outside, right? Like the two percenters, the three percenters needed to, like, really make a bit of a splash.

I think for those people, Cory Booker probably did the best out of those people who were on the margins. I saw his no Spanish, no joke. Was that his highlight? It was pretty good. He had a lot of, what do you call those, malapropisms? What do you say? Incredibly using words.

What do you say? Red bag of courage. And then he said another one later on that was odd, too. But other than that, he was like, you know. He looked great. I think, you know, we were talking about Biden looked like he had had like some sort of work done, like maybe some Botox or something on his face. I don't know what that is. His face looked swollen in weird places.

It looked like his, yeah. And Booker's face looked swollen in weird places the first debate, but now he looks great. He's probably just in that gym, dude. Yeah. Wearing like a fucking sweatsuit. Yeah. Doing handstands on the fucking treadmill. Training with that little kid from Euphoria.

Warren, I thought, still looked like... She's just the best debater, it seems like. Were there any huge policy bombs? Yes. Was there anyone that put forth a policy that you loved or hated that you didn't know existed prior to the debate? Off the fucking top, Andrew Yang comes out, finger guns the crowd. He's like, hey, what's up, Yang gang in the building.

And everyone gave like an opening statement. You know, Elizabeth Warren was really much like, I'm a nice teacher. Sit around, kids. Like hers was very, you know, she you know, she has that great teacher energy. Andrew Yang off the top is like, I'm giving a free giveaway for 10 families to get a $1,000 freedom dividend. Once a month, check it out. Like, he uses opening statement to plug his website into a free giveaway. Basically like an FM sweepstakes.

Yeah. Like a local radio sweepstakes. So 10 families. 10 lucky families. Write down why you deserve an extra $1,000 a month at Andrew Yang to whatever the fuck the website is. And it was funny because all the other people started laughing. Wait, so that's

he's giving out $120,000 if he's doing $12,000 a year. Yeah. Oh, for 10 families. For 10 families. No, it would be $120,000. It would be $1,000 a month. Oh yeah, $12,000. So $120,000. Where's his money,000 a month. Oh, yeah, 12,000 times 12. Yeah, yeah. I'm thinking. So 120,000. Where's his money coming from?

His campaign. Yeah. So his whole thing, I mean, he's also a billionaire, right? Isn't that his thing? Or like a multimillionaire? One thing he did make clear is he's Asian. Yeah. He does that every debate.

He does these Asian jokes. He's like, hey, I'm Asian, so I think I know math. This time it was, I'm Asian, so I know doctors. Right. Next is going to be, I'm Asian, so I think I know math. This time it was, I'm Asian, so I know doctors. Right. Next is going to be, I'm Asian, so I know Kung Fu. So I know a little bit about defense. Yeah. Does that bother you?

Yeah, because it's like we, it's because you're playing to these dumb stereotypes to relate to outsiders. Yeah, I'm not being facetious. No, no, I know. Yes, for sure. And when he does it, I was the same thing when he did. I was like, oh, here we go. You cringe a little bit.

Yeah, and it's like, yo, expand beyond that. There's a way to relate to people that isn't just using stereotypes that white people or non-Asian people have created about you. The same thing with, you know, like black comics lean into certain other aspects of culture that it's just sort of meant to be like, hey, people who aren't black, you know this very superficial thing about the culture. Let me try and get a laugh out of it. But I can tell, like, that is some shit that he has said in boardrooms with a bunch of old white guys, and they fucking love it. And so he's just like, yeah, this is how I do. This is what they do.

They go, you know, honestly, Andrew, I'd love to invest in your company. Hey, let's open our kimonos here. Am right you know that shit is you see what i got under here man i'm asian i'm good with math i'm not gonna i'm not like these numbers are right numbers are right peter okay but so that that's like an interesting thing to come out and drive attention to his website but i mean was there anyone who was literally putting forth a plan for the country as if i get the democratic nomination this is how it's going to affect everyone. The reason he was doing this is because his policy is universal basic income. And he wants to actually give all families across the country $1,000 a month.

Every person. Right. Every person. Get your freedom dividend. But I don't know. like in terms of anything groundbreaking. That dude seems allergic to charisma to me, just like from an outside perspective. I know it has nothing to do. Andrew Yang just seems like.

He has the charisma of a YouTube pre-roll ad where a dude's like, hey, do you want to know how I got here? It's not all these books, dude. It's all my mind. You can learn my five-step process. We all know that guy. He's like, now I drive a sick-ass ferrari 488 spider yeah okay sounds like miles is a little jealous of that dude no it was just like first of all yeah well guess what my mazda 3 is also pretty fast bro

if i put it into manual shifting so So I'll drop gears. No fears. I mean, it's just from a policy standpoint, it does seem like Warren is the one who, when you ask her to explain like a policy or like what she's going to do and how, how it's going to address the issue and also describe the issue like in a way that makes it understandable. She kind of fucked up though, right? When they talk about specifically taxes going up on the middle class, because like to pay for these other programs she's talking about. Right. And she pivoted away from that because yes, those taxes would go up, but what she's trying to,

you know, she did the thing of explaining essentially that it's moot if your taxes go up because your medical bills are gone. So you, you have money in the bank, shorty, what you think, right? It's not,

it's not a problem. That's kind of what she said, but she never actually, and she could have just said like, look, yes, I'm going to be completely transparent that your taxes will go up but let me tell you why that's actually not a bad thing that doesn't mean don't think of what your check is now and your taxes go up think about how much

of your check is taken up with medical costs and things like that take that out put that shit back in now factor in the little bit of a bump in your taxes your costs are down and that's what she kept saying it's like about your costs, about your costs. But you can still say that and let people know. That way people can't just point to this really lame argument and be like, we owe your taxes, go up. But you're missing the point of that. So who, as of tomorrow, are you assuming, based on the actual numbers,

will be the Democratic frontrunner? I think it's going to probably probably like this was biden's best showing but i still think like warren looks so much better than him did you think what what about from just sort of his thought cycle because we got lost a few times when we didn't we weren't sure what he was talking about yeah so there was one point where he went on like a stream of consciousness like rant where usually like when somebody is like, okay, Senator,

your time's up or a vice president, your time's up. He'll be like, okay. And just like, shut up. Cause he doesn't want to be talking. And this time he was like,

I'm on a roll. Motherfuckers get ready. Watch out now. Right. And it just went off into like word salad territory where at one point he was like, and I mean, it's number of words you hear when you're a kid. So we're going to have these kids hearing words on their record players or phones or what? It was just very Twitter was having fun with the record player.

The question was about how you're going to solve the issue of systemic racism in the country. Yeah, it was. And my man's like... He was like, well, I first heard Chuck Berry on my record player. You know, he took pictures of ladies going to the bathroom. So he might not be a good guy. Here's my whole thing. I would love both of your opinion on this.

Because I understand you guys have to be politically knowledgeable because you do the daily zeitgeist but just as like on a civics level as a citizen of america i've kind of sat this round of democratic debates out because even though i would never advocate for being like an uninformed voter i'm gonna vote for whoever the democratic candidate is i'm clearly not gonna vote for trump so rather than get political fatigue before the actual battle starts i'm just kind of like you know what figure it out and then whoever you put forward, I'm a ride with you. Well, it's all, but, but this is to nominate somebody, right? So you want to make sure at, at least at this point, you want to look at a person. Yeah. Cause obviously it's fuck Trump all day when you get into that ballot, but, or get into that polling station.

But when it comes to like these primaries, you want to understand who in terms of the people who are putting themselves forward to lead the country, have a vision of the future that you can invest in like emotionally or like support philosophically. And then how do you weigh that out versus who has the best chance to beat Trump? Cause, but that's not,

if those two don't line up, I don't think I'm not going to get too locked up in a, or get too lost in polling about like, well, doesn't favor this is the favorability like we're not even there yet so i think to use that information to dissuade somebody for actually i think this is this is sort of part of the process too like finding a candidate that resonates with you as a person and getting behind that person whatever however the primary shakeout and the nomination goes to whoever then fuck it. The only reason it is important, though,

is because my fear of what could repeat is because there were so many people who, at the beginning of the Democratic debate, last cycle, when it was Bernie versus Hillary, would have been like, you know what? Either way, just not Trump. There ended up being so much anger from each camp at each other for whoever got the democratic nomination because people were fucking with bernie so hard that

they ended up not fucking with hillary and either just not voting or possibly even voting trump and so it's like well some of those where when you go that hard for a candidate there's a little bit of residual bitterness that might yeah well this i think the circumstances are different now because at this point you've seen what if you're as politically engaged to be to get that into like the primaries and things like that you're you see what the the existential threat is and that's a second turn okay yeah i just wanted to see where you guys i mean and if anything this is more analogous to the republican primary last time and that there's you know a dozen different candidates who have at least a percentage point and you know trump shit all over all those people uh and their supporters still

ended up supporting him that's what the democratic group is missing this time we don't have anyone who stabbed someone in their past oh they well we're missing us yeah we're missing our ben carson well our wildcastro basically shanked joe biden on stage that's what i heard tell me about it yeah there was a moment where basically joe biden was talking about how like if you lose your job you can buy into this public option thing right he used the words buy-in and then julian cash was like yo i'm not trying no i should be buying in for your health care whatever this is free and he's like and you know of the vice president biden just said you know you even have to buy into his plan he goes no i never said that right yes you did and he's

like i never said buy-in you could blow he goes fam you just said that two minutes ago he literally says so what you can't even remember something you said two minutes ago now and there was audible groans in the crowd some people were like oh well because he kept people who were offended i think it was just that he it was like the dude picking the fight at the dinner table where it's just like, okay, let it drop. And then they keep going and keep going.

People are just like, uh, because also too, right after the whole, like the record player, these kids are hearing 4 million words, but they go to who he cashed. It goes,

that was a lot. Right. But I thought that was like more effective right that that's the more effective just to like kind of in an understated way just be like yeah whatever whatever that was ridiculous sounds like julian julio castro's fucking uh campaign manager is just like a sarcastic teen who's like here's how you burn it i mean i think for him he's more kind of like a fed up dude who sort of looks at joe biden was like you shouldn't be up here like it's your time has come and gone this is this is what people are fucking with now or most or what we're trying

to pull the party in that direction but i can tell why he's sort of got this chip on his shoulder but yeah at times i was like how how was harris tonight because i haven't heard anything oh my so this is one thing i do want to bring up abc did a good job with their moderators, putting some of the candidates to the sword with their questions. Like some of the questions were just putting them on blast off top. Like with Kamala Harris, it was like, you know, you've put forward a lot of criminal justice plans, but like, you know, in the past you weren't for a lot of these things. Like, in fact, you were against this, this, this, this.

Well, that's been her Achilles heel all along. And she's like, so what's changed? And Kamala didn't really answer the question she was like i'll tell you what i want to change the subject to and that's our president donald trump which she that was sort of her that was her battle cry today yeah and her last night i thought that was i thought her performance was like kind of more closer to her second debate. The first debate, she was the clear standout. The first debate, people were ready to crown her.

They were making so many memes and shit of her dunking on Biden and all that stuff. But this felt a little bit more like second debate where she was just kind of staying in place. And she, I think, needed to change. She was fishing for a tweet, though. Anything out of Beto? Not much. He was basically, I think the biggest thing out of him, actually from a policy thing, was he fully articulated,

hell yeah, I'll come take your assault rifles. Yeah. Watch this. I'll take them shits. Yeah, he did specifically say, hell yeah. He was unequivocal in that. That's kind of dope. I haven't heard any candidates say anything like that.

What did the rest of the candidates say when he had that moment? Did they hop on board? No, the crowd cheered, and no one really tried to rebut that. What city were the debates in tonight? In Houston. Oh, crowd cheered in Houston? Yeah. Because, I mean, Texas got hit with all these shootings,

and a lot of the Julian Castro is also from Texas. Like, they, a lot of people touched on that to sort of pivot off into whether it was, like, the racial divisions in the country or the gun debate. One thing that was happening very consistently, though, everybody was giving all praise due to Barack Obama. Like, when they would give answers on, like, health care. Big up the OG. Yeah, they were like, you know, first and foremost, you know, all praise is due to Barack Obama. You know, without him, we would not have Obamacare. You know what it is.

What do you think happened between? I love how you paraphrase. Well, that's what everyone, every version was. Okay. If it's other people, it's like, you know, and first I do have to give credit to President Barack Obama for giving us Obamacare. Another person, you know, before I give this answer, we do have to give a big thanks to president obama and a lot of people were like looking at biden like president obama right not you vice p but uh and then but that was

another theme you know respect to obama but that that seemed to be a break from last time and they must have gotten like some focus group polling or some shit that said, Stop being so mean to Obama. Yeah. Anyways, I mean, I think that was kind of the big strokes, right? Yeah. Okay, so that's also. Sanders seems to have one speed.

I'd never learn anything new, but his message, like there's something. His message is clear. And I like that they let him rebut the typical argument against socialism, which is message, like there's something. His message is clear. And I like that they let him rebut the typical argument against socialism, which is like, well, what about Venezuela? Yeah, that was dope. Because they let him sort of, I think for people who probably in their minds

they just go, socialism? I hear like Venezuela, like they eat like phone books so like, I don't want to do that because that's socialism. So they were like, how is your like, how is what you believe, you know, your version of socialism different than Venezuela? How are you not going to make us Venezuela? Right.

Exactly. And he, you know, he got his answer. Yeah. I mean, he's, he's always convincing when he talks. He just always says the same thing. But I mean, there's something. At this point, a lot of them are. Maybe you should.

Yeah. I mean, Amy Klobuchar she just also let people know from the beginning i'm your centrist bay right she's like they're everyone's so extreme look if you're trying to go right through the middle i'm your i'm your person i honestly didn't even know she was still in the race she's still in the race so they're very uh literally on the margins of this how much how much of that at this point do you think is her sticking around long enough to vie for a cabinet position with whoever i mean it depends she has she has enough allies in the senate i feel like well because that's what this ultimately turns into is like the people

stick around just long enough to be an asset to be like i'll endorse you with the people that were riding with me if i can be yeah or you do it just to get your name recognition up for as long as possible to get yourself like as a household name. 2024. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody who was, you know,

in the 1%, uh, like pulling in the 1% range, but also made this debate, there's no incentive for them to drop out because this was yet another opportunity for them to, you know, their best opportunity yet to get their name out there.

Like at least we're not Hickenlooper. Drudge's headline right now is, Klobuchar breaks out, which would not have been my read on the situation at all. This is based on the... Breaks out from the middle. Right, this is on the Drudge report poll. So it's just a bunch of right-wing people being like, well, she seemed to not want to take money from rich people.

There was another – the one thing you did notice, though, afterwards, you knew who the real Biden stans were because all of them immediately just began to just smear Julian Castro for being like, you know, that was disqualifying for me. Yeah. Just really for him to like say that. And who those stans were, was the entire mainstream media. Yeah. Like on, on ABC, we were watching on ABC. Right.

Their first comment was like, what did you think about that Julian Castro stuff? And I like that there was. That was really disqualifying, immediately disqualifying. People were texting me. They were outraged. It's really low. It's just really getting ugly. It doesn't make sense.

But then the first person to push back was one of the black women who was in the punditry team was like, well, I don't think they understand. What do you think fucking Trump is going to do? He's going to say stuff like this, and we need to see what these people look like under pressure. Yeah, it might not have been the most elegant thing or whatever, but we have to be real. This is kind of the fucking environment right now. Whatever happened to all I'd taken behind the Jim Joe?

Right, exactly. Do a couple push-ups and see whose teeth fall out first. They both have that same shit. Where they're halfway through a sentence and things start slurring because their teeth are falling out uh we're gonna take another quick break and we'll be right back with stuff that isn't about the fucking debate definitely caruana galizia was a maltaltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHe radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and the democrats were doing things besides beating up on old Joe Biden at the debate.

They were also passing impeachment rules. Rules for impeachment. Rules. Not, you know, look, some people tell you, oh, this is impeachment, baby. Other people will be like, no, it's not. It's not impeachment. Don't say that word. People don't like that word.

It's definitely a step in the impeachment direction, like that they have set sort of the scope of how they will do this and how they will gather information. This is not like the floor vote to impeach or anything like that, but it's Jerry Nadler articulating sort of basically saying like, well, now this committee has the ability to, you know, deem these committee hearings as impeachment hearings. You know, we can bring people in.

We need to talk to people, blah, blah, blah. Nancy Pelosi was very quick to just be like, no, it's not impeachment. Look, that's not what it is. She's, I think, does not want anyone to believe that that's the road that it's going down. But I think Jerry Nadler has had it and is doing what he can incrementally.

But they're talking about if he gets reelected in 2020 or they're talking about doing this shit before. No, that like now they're going to have to begin, you know, they want to really question these witnesses that have things to not just do with the Mueller report. Cause they want to broaden it out because they're also like,

well, not just the obstruction stuff. Like you have stuff with the emoluments clause and people staying at his hotels, him like business doing business to his properties. You have the other obstruction charges with the hush money payments. So they're trying to be like, we're trying to really broaden it out. This is how we can do it.

Again, I think for people who really want impeachment, they're going to be like, this ain't it. But I don't know if you have the majority votes you need in the House quite yet to fully get there. And you're damn sure nothing's going to happen in the Senate. So in a way, it's like you want to build as much evidence as you can if you're really going to go that route because otherwise you're just pulling up from 40. was pointing out that the hearings on Benghazi is where they got the Hillary Clinton email information last time that she was using a private email server to send emails, which ended up being the entirety of their argument against her in the last election. So I think that's Pelosi's kind of point of view is that even you know, even though this isn't being like aggressively called impeachment and like, you know, we're not out here talking about impeaching him,

like this could provide us with some ballast for the election. But I still like, I think there's going to be a backlash against this if they don't just like get on the same page like right now it seems like they're doing it half half-heartedly and people are just going to be like well just leave the president alone yeah well i think that's why i want to be doing i think that's why the dnc and the the party in general like their focus is going to be on when they mention trump and like ads going into the election it's not going to be about these things. It's going to be about how he's completely failed to like legislate and deliver on all the bullshit that he said in 2016. Cause I feel like that's gonna,

that's the only way to talk to independence when you start using these, like this shit is for the left. So it's for the birds. But I mean, they might find some, some interesting shit out that actually does speak to people. And I, I mean, they might find some interesting shit out that actually does speak to people. And I just feel like- Anything more interesting or inflaming or clearly guilt-ridden than what we've found over the last three years?

Like, that's what I'm saying is, at what point do you think there's still something undiscovered that's actually going to move the needle? Yeah. Well, I think that's why, rather than being like, well, we have to look, we have to look, you could be like, yo, we got a lot of shit right already and let that be what everyone says. Can we do it? We don't really have the numbers right now. Right. So we might have to make this play our hand even stronger,

but we have the meats. I've already forgotten half the shit I used to be mad at in the first year. Right. Yeah. Somebody just needs to, they just need to keep hammering, like figure out what the stuff is that is most convincing to people and just keep hammering that stuff. I think. Yeah. I don't know how much this is going to do to actually sway people, because I think that's if they believe that the optics of this investigation is going to help get independence.

I don't think that's it. If you want to get to Trump, you just got to keep calling him broke right it's gonna be like yeah he's doing all these side deals and making people stay at his hotels because he needs the money right then he'll come out and be like no they're staying in my hotels because blah blah blah i don't need the money oh by the way speaking of the debate one thing that did seem to be kamala harris's uh strategy was to try and get him to like tweet at her so that like she could engage him in a little bit of- Her opening statement was like WWE shit. She was like, Trump, I know you're watching. Coming for you.

Literally said, Trump, I know you're watching. Yeah. It was like, I got your number, ho. Yeah. Come fight me. Now Trump's about to become one of those big rappers who's like, I'm not taking the bait on these diss rappers that just want me to up their record sales. He doesn't want that story of Adidon freestyle getting dropped on him. It's like, you are hiding a son.

What? And he's like, no, I talked about Melania has a son. Yeah, I am hiding him. Yesterday, SNL announced three new cast members. Leslie Jones is leaving. They're bringing three new cast members. Leslie Jones is leaving. They're bringing three new people in. New featured players. Boeing Yang is one of them.

He was a writer last year. One of the co-hosts of one of my favorite podcasts, Las Culturistas. And, yeah. First Asian-American. First Asian-American. Which is crazy, right? That's wild. Fred Armisen, right? Like that's wild.

Like Fred Armisen I think is technically Asian. Right. I thought he was Latino. I think there's well and also Rob Schneider is par Filipino.

Like a quarter Filipino. Yeah. See? Damn. Anyway. Yeah. Great. Him,

Chloe Fineman and then this dude Shane Gillis who was caught. Within hours of the article coming out that's saying, SNL announces three new cast members. The second thing, if you just searched his name, was new SNL cast member, Shane Gillis, responds to outcry over racist jokes.

New SNL cast member catches heat for racial slurs against Asians. New SNL cast member uses racist, sex sexist homophobic remarks here's the thing so paul f tompkins they announced the three new cast members paul f tompkins immediate response was rip these people's old tweets like this right they're going to find some shit but like snl needs to know that they're going to look through these people. It's not that hard to do some research. In this case, not to say obviously, the fact that it got found that quickly, clearly it couldn't have been that buried.

But in this case, it went beyond tweets to an old podcast. And that's where I, when we started briefly talking about it before the show, just in preparation for it, I figured this was obviously going to be a hot button issue where I wasn't necessarily on the same side as youtube because as a stand-up comedian my natural inclination is to at least support a the like being upset about the instant backlash like as soon as someone gets something everyone's first instinct is to go find a reason why they shouldn't why not so like it's that whole cancel culture so it separate from it being Shane separate

from being what he said just the fact that like there's no way in hell this podcast would have been uncovered if it wasn't announced that he got right out today so like someone clearly made it their objective to find her he said it just a no yeah he said it a year ago so I think there are probably people who maybe at the time even heard and were were like, yo, what the fuck is this? Right. And so then that also speaks to what he actually said, which was clearly. Yeah, okay, play it.

Listen, so this is him from his podcast. His podcast or some other? It's him. It's called like Shane and Matt's Secret Podcast or something. The other guy is Matt McCusker. But they're just, they're talking about Chinatown. Right. And just,

they go to fucking, just listen to shit. Damn, Chinatown's fucking nuts. It's crazy, dude. It is full fucking China. Dude, it's fucking Chinese down there. I wonder how that started. They just built one

fucked up looking building and people were like, all right, no one said anything. Let the fucking chinks live there. Well, they built these fucking huge Shanghai houses. The first one must have infuriated everyone. I'm pissed now. I'm like, what are you guys doing here? Get these ducks

out of that window. You know what? Yeah. True. Also, I'm always like how can there be so many fucking restaurants down here? All restaurants. You go in, there's like one person eating ever. White idiots like me are down there sucking down neuters. I hate China. I hate the food

in Chinatown. It sucks. Chinese food's a very dishonest cuisine. I don't even want to think about it. They invented a fucking chemical

to put in their food to make it delicious, dude. It is. They made it as an MSG. Good for them. It's a dishonest food, dude. Hold on. The fucking dishonest food thing

is the most weird, angry, racist shit I've ever heard. It was like, yo, it's fucking Chinese food is dishonest, man. Well, that's not the SNL guy. No, that's not. That's not the SNL guy. You know, barbecue will have sex with your sister and get her pregnant. Like, what the fuck is it? So, again, the guy, the SNL character or the comedian was the one who was using the full-on racial slurs.

And then they like to do that just typical racist shit that people do with Asians, do your L's to R's, that, you know, great. And I want to be clear that I'm certainly not here to defend what he said. I would be the first to acknowledge that, A, that shit wasn't funny, B, it was offensive, C, it was ignorant, and D, it was racist. Yeah. It's that fine line of can you say racist things, can you say stupid things in the heat of trying to be a comedian,

trying to be an entertainer without actually being a racist. And so that's where I stand, which is completely separate from whether or not he gets to keep his job at SNL or not. It's like what he said was indefensibly racist. In the few interactions that i've had with shane in person do i actually get the vibe that he is a racist person no i don't think shane at his core is racist but again i'm a white man so like it does feel a little bit like when a

sexual assault comes out you won't see that like like i don't know he was always really nice to me it's it's possible that shane is racist and i just don't know. And he might come up to me and say, hey, dude, neuters, right? Right. But like, no. So I'm not here to be like, hey, what he said was comedy. You guys, PC police, fuck that. Like, what he said was whack, and what he said was racist. I'd like, like, but when I first read the story as a comedian,

my first instinct was to roll my eyes and be like, God, it's like, they're just going to get you one way or another if they want to. Well, see, and this is where he kind of, he didn't do himself any favors with his quote unquote apology. Because he says, again, as his response is to all of this, he says, I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses. I'm happy to apologize to anyone who's actually offended by anything I've said.

My intention is never to hurt anyone, but I'm trying to be the best comedian I can be, and sometimes that requires risks. Now, I do understand when you evolve as a comedian because we were talking again even before this, right? I grew up thinking my version of comedy was being the smartest mean person. Right. And being to articulate burns that will fucking melt your soul. Just in the spirit of meanness, but said in very creative ways.

So it didn't feel like a direct attack. And I can understand too, because I see people still with this kind of comedy that's just mean spirited. And something I've learned to be like, oh shit, that's actually not funny because the whole, the engine driving the humor or the irony, at least in my mind, was that it was just insensitive and mean. And I think this is part of him is maybe trying to say that.

But on its face, like you have to own that what you said is completely racist, ignorant and would be just indefensible to like a new cast member you're going to have too so it's you know uh and i also understand too when you have somebody even like on this show right you say things you know what your intent is but someone might take what you say completely differently and you almost want to be like well fuck i know what i mean but at the same time you do have to own when you say shit absolutely yeah i yeah that that wasn't a great apology and there was no real self-accountability i'll give you that like i i would have wanted more from an apology but one thing that was interesting that i didn't even think about until we started talking about it now is kind of how you're talking about like when you're trying to push boundaries or when

you're trying to do comedy you're trying to articulate things like the fact that what he was saying was such lazy surface surface, textbook Asian racist bullshit. Because I actually know Shane is a good comedian, that lets me know there was zero thought behind what was being – so that wasn't like an attempt at like a comedian trying to craft something and then coming up with something racist. It was like – Yeah, but I don't even mean to – I don't want to even put you in a position to defend him because i don't i think most of your arguments come from a more much broader level this isn't about this isn't about shane i don't yeah i don't want to remove that aspect of it because i don't want people to think you're defending him because as

you very unequivocally said this is fucking nonsense do you think snl actually found this video but they were were doing some algebra? It would be crazy. We have our first Asian American cast member. Well, the thing is Bowen wrote on SNL last year and was in a few sketches, so I don't think they found this video and then were like, quick, who's a hot Asian comedian that we can counterbalance? No, I was just joking. But it does beg the question of what is the process of how thoroughly they're vetting. Because this isn't the first time this has happened.

If you guys remember a few years ago when Melissa Villasenor got hired and people were very proud. I think she was the first full Latina comedian on SNL. And within minutes, people found old racist Latina tweets of hers. And so SNL, they know how this story unfolds like they've been through this long enough to know like what you were saying maybe they need to go a step further than combing through tweets but they have to assume now that when they announce new cast members

people are going to be digging through their shit so like SNL had to have seen this if somebody's first thought on Twitter is just like man this people are going to be combing through these people's tweets all day. Like, maybe do a check, you know? And I'm not saying, like, they should have hidden this or whatever, but.

Well, I think, honestly, you know, again, because cancel culture can just go with the speed of fucking light. That on some level, right, like, if we're trying to, you know, advocate for a better future, that means that we have to allow people to grow. So on some level sure like people i of course yo i've made terrible fucking jokes that i'm like you know never ever it could never excuse but i'm different place in my my evolution as a human being different levels of empathy and things like that experience i think the only thing that could have saved him is to fully own like sort of as of as a human being, like, why this is wrong, why he can completely acknowledge why that is, and maybe have a chance of keeping it moving. But goddamn.

But also, too, this is the thing I think for people of color. There are so many people that, like, you will hear people be casually racist. And, yeah, they might not be racist in the sense of like well they're not gonna be violent towards me or something like that but that shit is violent to hear sure and i think that's a little bit of the difference too is like it it gets fucking old and then at a certain point it's like yo bro like you gotta you gotta figure your shit out because this is not fucking funny your inclusion in the dominant culture in this country allows you to engage in humor like this yeah and it'd be funny and consequence free because your audience is typically people who are also in the dominant

culture right you are yeah you're absolutely right about that and that that's why i want to be clear about the fact that like even in when i made the statement of like i've met shane and i didn't find him to be racist i'm a white man so maybe it's very easy that i would never notice or see that side of him so but but you're also you know sober-eyed enough too to understand that kind of humor even in your own experiences the communities but you're also you know sober-eyed enough too to understand that kind of humor even in your own experiences the communities you're in when you know like yeah this is a big a big shame of all this is how it overshadowed what should have been a beautiful day for bone though because aside from the fact that it was like directly anti-asian racist

comments on the day when they were like very proudly announcing that it was the first asian cast member but like it's kind of like when you're on a sports team and you're doing your job and then have to go into the locker room and answer for the one teammate who's causing trouble. Now, instead of Bowen getting to talk about how proud he is to be the first Asian cast member, I'm sure a lot of people are just going to be asking him. Should he be canceled? Yeah.

Are you willing to be in sketches with Shane? And so it's like it just overshadows what should have been an otherwise beautiful day for a hard with Shane? Right. And so it's like it just overshadows what should have been an otherwise beautiful day for a hardworking person. Right. And even then, the white guy screwing up overshadowed Bo and Ye. Well, let's not let any of this overshadow

what I think has to be the best local news interview that I've ever seen personally. Where is this from? This was on, it looks like, Burkeville Road in levittsburg ohio wow calling the street out yo it's they listed it on the on the cut uh this was something that was tweeted by sasshole at sasshole 785 a couple days ago and kind of just blew my mind a little bit so do we have the clip?

And it's outside of a... It's outside of a house fire. The reporter is talking to a woman who has a can of something in her hand and she's just looking like real kind of a little bit sassy like, you know. I could spill the tea on these motherfuckers but I'm not going to.

And you saw what was happening. You saw what was going on. What were your thoughts? Oh, my gosh. You know, I didn't ever think it was going to happen to us. Do you know how this fire started? Yes, I do. It was because of my cousin.

And I don't want to mention no names. Your cousin? Yes. And you say you think your cousin started this. Do you know how or why? He's mad because he can't get with me. I'm married to my husband. And it's a long story.

Wow. That's beautiful. Wow. Wow. Do you think it was the husband's cousin, like that there's no blood relation between them, and the husband's cousin just always wanted to fuck his wife? Would you call your wife's cousin your cousin?

Yeah. Do you now? Yeah. I wouldn't personally. Have you always, the second you were married, you were like, oh, that's my cousin now. Or you would never say, oh, my wife's cousin. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I feel like once the family's joined. like, oh, that's my cousin now. Or you would never say, oh, my wife's cousin. Yeah.

I mean, yeah. I feel like once the family is joined. Family, man. That's beautiful. That is beautiful. I'm actually learning something right now. That's very beautiful. Yeah, you marry you and they become your family.

Because I'm like, you know what? Because your cousin is tripping again. Right. Like, not my cousin. Our cousin. Yeah. I mean, if we were fighting, then it might be your cousin. That's right.

But to society at large, that would now be my cousin they're like your cousin took all the floral arrangements on the table i was supposed to give one to my grandmother right um well look i just like that she's not giving up names though you know what i mean yeah and also like right exactly no names motherfucker but my cousin i like the implication that there's so many of her cousins are trying to fuck her that none of none of this is uh identifying right it's amazing better be the biggest family ever or someone's getting an angry phone call within two sentences the the flesh that was painted on this bear skeleton was amazing you know did my cousin but i'm not gonna say any names right you know what

i couldn't stop thinking about when I saw that clip, though, just because it was a burnt house, was Em's verse on Forgot About Dre. He said, fuck you too, bitch, call the cops. I'm going to kill you and them loud ass motherfucking barking dogs. Wow. We were just thinking about how toxic that put my brain as a teenager. He snapped on that song. Bitch, I'm going to kill you.

You don't want to fuck with me. I'm like, oh, whoa, whoa. Marshall, Marshall, Marshall. He woke something up inside of young Miles. Yeah. i'm gonna kill you you don't wanna with me oh whoa whoa marshall marshall he woke something up inside of young miles yeah when we were uh mobbing around my friend's mom's uh ford expedition without a license yep damn going to blockbuster renting that's what you're really dating yourself yeah hell yeah bro there you know i'm doing hip stretches yeah i was in a busted ass ford expedition busting that album going to blockbuster trying to rent siphon filter one on playstation did you ever steal like your parents or your

Or if they got pulled over, they'd be like, don't worry. My dad gave me this badge because he gave $50,000 to the Benevolent Police Officer Society. What city did you grow up in? LA.

Oh. Ever heard of it, bro? my wife called me. Yeah, I'm a loc, dude, local, local scumbag.

I'm very proud of it, and it's now available on all the platforms, iTunes, Amazon. If you want to stream it for free on Spotify or Pandora, I'm not going to be mad at you.

Where can people find you, follow you, hear you other than on your album? That's dropping. I'm on all social media. I'm at Noah G Comedy. And my website is noahgcomedy.com.

And is there a tweet or some act of social media that you've been enjoying? I just want to plug someone's entire Twitter feed. Ex-NBA player Rex Chapman does something called Blocker Charge, and it's just videos of people. Deciding if it's a blocker or a charge? Well, not basketball videos. It's like people getting ran the fuck over in a real-life situation. That is hilarious.

And it's blocker. So just go check out Rex Chapman's whole Twitter feed. It's fantastic. And do people apply the same rules? It's like, oh, the feet were moving. Not planted. It is no question. Is it always a charge or is it always a block people getting annihilated it's not yeah you gotta go you gotta go see it it's like they were their feet were

He boosted a bunch of Apple products? Recently? After he was an NBA millionaire? Yep. Well, that is a fucking charge,

Rex. He did not do a charge. He pretended like he was charging a bunch of shit. Rex Chapman pleads guilty in Apple Store shoplifting case. Wow. Yo, hey, shout out to you, my man. 14K worth of merch. Wow.

That's amazing. That's one of those where when people assume you have money, they just let you do whatever. Right. Yeah. The clips show the former University of Kentucky star and basketball announcer walking through the store, standing around display stands with other customers, and on at least one occasion, picking up a boxed item. He appears to be holding an Apple sales bag in several of the clips, and in the longest surveillance videos, he lingers near a headphone display, stands for several seconds, picking up boxes.

You know what I bet that is? That's a retired athlete looking for a thrill. He forgot how to feel. Like, he can't get the stadium cheering his name anymore, so he gets his rush from boasting computers. He must have felt so slick. He's like, what I do is I walk in with an Apple bag. Rex Chapman led the league in steals. Get gold like that on White Man Can't Joke.

And this dude, Ben Collins at one underscore and then an underscore tweeted, almost at the four year anniversary of when john hedren at fart went on headline news and started asking questions answering questions about edward

snowden with answers about edward scissorhands and that is have y'all seen that video no like people are asking the answers are all related to edward scissorhands they're interviewing him they're like i think they confused him with a media, like, you know, the type of person who appears on CNN. There is one named John Hendren, who, like, spells his name slightly differently. And so he went on to, like,

be an expert about Edward Snowden, but all his answers are, like, about as if he thinks he's talking about Edward Scissorhands. And it's the greatest viral video of all time anyways i i love recognizing four year or uh any anniversary of a random moment i i celebrate the anniversary of uh robin's performance on snl of uh call your boyfriend where she starts like rolling all over the stage,
