How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? It's right here in black and white and prints. It's bigger than a flag or mascot.

And I have a special guest co-host, and I'm trying to figure out what I'm hearing clicks. Is that—what am I hearing? You're being hacked. Am I being hacked? Wait, hold on. You're being hacked, dude. Oh. I think I'm trying to figure out what I'm hearing clicks. Is that, what am I hearing? You're being hacked. Am I being hacked? Wait, hold on.

You're being hacked, dude. Oh, I think I'm being hacked. Swordfish, Matrix. Hold on. Oh, it is. It's the hacker. It's Jamie Loftus. Help me, Jamie.

Actually, no. Welcome, Jamie. Hi. How are you? You hacked the show. This is Jamie Loftus, a.k.a. the hacker who codes, a.k.a. Hack O'Brien. Oh, you've been hacked. You've been Hack O'Brien. Oh, you've been hacked. You've been Hack O'Brien.

I have two children. They're named Zero and One. Well, welcome, Hack O'Brien. So, so lovely for you to join us. And we are joined by a very wonderful guest, a hilarious stand-up comedian, writer, host of the podcast Suicide Brothers. Wait, what?

Yeah. Do you write or do you not write? No, I'm just joking. I've never heard myself explained in such glorious terms. That's great, because you just fucked up your own intro, Hampton. But hey, you're also the co-host of the podcast Suicide Buddies with yesterday's guest, Dave Ross.

Please welcome... I slipped into Australian accent almost instantly. Please welcome Hampton Yunt. Hey. How are you, man? Hey, babies. What's up, baby?

Hello, little babies. All right. Well, Hampton, before we get into knowing all about you and some of your search history and overrated, underrated, and all that, let's do a little pre-cap, as they say on the internet, about what we got coming up today. Computer enhanced. Computer enhanced pre-cap. Engage. Right now, we're going to be talking about

attorneys general from about 20 states are trying to block the proliferation of your own 3D printed guns you can make at home. Oh, come on. Let us have it. The Koch brothers released a study on that dangerous Medicare for all scheme

that would give people, you know, health care with some very interesting, really interesting results. I'm more scared of the Diet Coke, brother. There you go. Wow, you're checked in. Also, we've got more information, or actually the announcement from Jeff Sessions

about the Religious Liberty Task Force. We're going to talk about ICE and CBP. Obviously not good stuff with them. Some Benghazi stuff with Les Moonves. A little bit about Mila Kunis. Maybe found out what exactly she did to poor Macaulay Culkin. In addition to some tea, a tea report from Mr. Tea himself, Topher Grace,

on how he used to date Ivanka Trump. And also, I guess Bigfoot's dick is also a thing that's actually becoming a part of an actual congressional race. Swinging long and low. And that's not a joke. Bigfoot's got a tiny dick. According to these... Micropene.

These drawings say otherwise, Hampton. But yes, before we do all that, Hampton, my man, what is something from your search history that lets people know sort of what you're about? What I'm about? I was searching my own name. Amazing. I'm very egotistical. Okay.

Do you have a Google alert? No. You just hopped on Google and you said Hampton Yen. Yeah, I wanted to see if my video of my stand-up I put up on Pornhub was still up there. And it was. It was? Yeah. They really let anything on there.

What are the comments like? Very good. Oh, nice. Very good. Very funny. Very stern. like very good very good very funny very stern i don't think they want to possibly complicate things by being like when did you upload your stand-up to pornhub wait when yeah uh like six months ago what's the view count at it's like close to 900 i'm hoping to tip it over a thousand i want to get there crazy i want to get there summer you gotta get those summer views

i wonder if summer views guys gotta get them summer views I wonder if people summer views guys gotta get them in guys if you're having a good summer check out my stand up on Pornhub it's under Hampton Yunt

cracks up audience with stand up comedy three exclamation points so even anyone who's on Pornhub and they see that there's nothing even to remotely

suggest that it's pornography I'm just saying take a break guys it's not all about J and O it's not all about beating off it's about the LOLs that it's pornography. I'm just saying, take a break, guys. It's not all about J and O. It's not all about beating off. It's about the LOLs.

Sometimes it's about the LOLs. And the ROFLs, if I can praise myself. Reach for the stars, man. Reach for them. Grab them and bring them to you. Hampton, what's something that's overrated? Overrated is coffee. Wow.

Okay, go on. Because everyone feels like they need it every day. And I've taken a couple days where I just didn't feel like going to get one or getting new grounds or anything. And I was like, yeah, I feel a little tired, but I feel it's weird that I just need to constantly drink coffee to exist. Right. Are you kind of wired like that?

Yeah, I need like at least two a day. Sometimes it's three. I drink like one cold brew before the show. of wired like that like you yeah i need like at least two right a sometimes it's three i drink like one cold brew before the show that's and i don't even know if it really gets me all hyped up it could be a total placebo effect but i feel the same way it's no i'm so cold brew is hard i'm i'm caffeine like insensitive like i can drink espresso and fall asleep that's what i'm saying is i think we're making more than a generation of people who are just desensitized to caffeine. Yeah, it could be just drugs. That can't be right.

I don't feel more energized when I have coffee, but I definitely feel when I don't have it because I get very mean. Really? Everyone says that, but isn't that the sound of an addict? Yeah. I get mean. I get nose bleeds. I start hitting

cops. Start hacking. I don't hack for good. I get nosebleeds. I start hitting cops. Start hacking. I don't hack for good. I hack for evil. Oh, you become a black hat hacker. You know, I put my black hat on and I start hacking for banks when I don't have my copy. It's really bad. You hack for Chase. That's awesome. And I'm going to get them their money back.

Exactly. They're nice guys. They're nice guys. They're deeply nice guys. Trust and chase, guys. Yeah. Well, let's make it just be one bank. When did you start

drinking coffee, though? When did I start? Boy, I think I got into coffee ice cream before I got into coffee. Whoa. Gateway. Serious, guys.

That's the gateway drug. And then I think, boy, a little on the, like, just ending college. Right, right, right. Just when your body starts suddenly being like, hey, I'm tired. Right, boy, a little on the, like, just ending college. Right, right, right. Just when your body starts suddenly being like, hey, I'm tired. Right, right, right. I just feel like I guess I've accepted it.

I started like, late. I'm like, hi, and I don't realize. That's what I'm saying. People are too hyped because now it's like, why are there so many fucking coffee places around the earth? It's like, it's nonstop. The boom is insane. I don't know how people, like, how many of those places really stay afloat because I feel like the market is so saturated.

You can get coffee in eight different ways within an arm's reach. But there's only seven Dunkin' Donuts in LA, so it's actually kind of hard for some of us to get what we need and what we want. Yeah, it's actually kind of like a crisis is what I'm saying. It is tricky. I mean, it is hard. Our brand is crisis. So a few weeks ago, I was in Boston, and I ran into a woman who used to work at a Dunkin' Donuts. I don't think you can call the people who work at Dunkin' Donuts baristas per se, because they don't really prepare.

It's more of a dunk. This is classism for sure. No, but this is- Do they make lattes? Do they use any kind of a steaming machine? Yeah, but they don't even call themselves baristas. It's kind of weird. They don't even call themselves human.

They hate life. But I ran into someone who used to work at the Dunkin' Donuts near me forever. And she was just like, oh, my gosh, you're the only person who ever ordered tuna at the Dunkin' Donuts. Oh, my God. And I was like, wait, really? And she's like, yeah, we used to talk about it. Because they did. They would call me tuna when I would come in.

Got to get that morning tuna burn. That pumps me for the rest of the day. Tuna on a croissant. And they did. They would call me tuna when I would come in. Gotta get that morning tuna burn. That pumps me for the rest of the day. Tuna on a croissant. And they'd be like, tuna! And I'd be like, hey! That's delicious. Before the office, even? Before the office, yeah. And then one day they did discontinue the tuna because it was poison. It was really, it was like just a...

It was just like mayonnaise. They were actually shipping in E. coli from Chipotle to put on it. For me. For you. And then they were like, there's no more tuna. And I remembered that day. We talked about it.

Is that why you tweeted something about being really upset about the canceled tuna at Dunkin' Donuts? Yeah. They canceled. I mean, now it's canceled across the board. But we were one of the beta locations where tuna was canceled real early. Okay. All right. Dunkin' Donuts should get behind it and be like,

we've heard about the crisis of overfishing tuna, and we're taking a stand. Yeah, exactly. No more. I'm in a Facebook group to bring back the Subway Seafood Sensation. Oh, God. Good thing you're doing it. The sensation is in my toilet. It's all about advocacy.

Hampton, what's something that's underrated? Underrated, I was going to say Queen, the band. I was thinking, because I've just been listening to them a lot recently. I'm like, they were probably one of the best live, like, performing rock and roll bands. Rock and or roll. Yeah, rock and or. Get all of them. I'm excited for the movie.

Yeah, the movie looks good. I think that'll be fun. Little Hacker, Rami Malek. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He hacked Freddie Mercury's ghost. Yeah, he hacked Sacha Baron Cohen and got him to believe that. Hampton, what's a myth?

What's something that people get wrong that you know to be true? Or maybe that's something people think is true that you know to be false. Vice versa. Do you understand? It's so rapid fire. Russian collusion. Whoa. Oh, I lost it.

Go on. Oh, I don't have time. What do you mean? I don't have time to do all of Mueller's case. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, tell me, just give me the top line notes. Top line notes is I've never seen somebody so embarrassingly bad at lying as Trump.

Like, it's just funny at a certain point. Yeah, right. Where it's like, in the way they talk, it's like this is embarrassing. And Giuliani too. Yeah. He got kind of the perfect lawyer. To embarrass himself. The same sort of like they're really just good at media, but they do not know how to talk or function like an intelligent human being.

Right. So what is the myth exactly that you're saying, that you're trying to dispel? I don't know. That the Robert Mueller investigation will save people? A lot of people think it's bullshit or, you know. Right. That it's like just a sham. Right. And you're saying to dispel? I don't know. That the Robert Mueller investigation will save people? A lot of people think it's bullshit or, you know, that it's like just a sham.

Right, and you're saying it isn't. It has like actual backing. Yeah, okay. Well, that's good. So yeah, I think our audience would mostly agree with you

on that one. No, that's the thing. You can't assume everybody's on board. Oh yeah, well no, you know, the Zeit gang out here,

they're ready for Mueller. It's Mueller time. A lot of, yeah, a lot of yeah a lot of people are more concerned with the day-to-day stuff yeah that happens with them and it's like well you should take more of a long view if you really want to like actually impeach this guy yeah no absolutely and i think it's it's a tough question of whether or not you know some people are like i can't wait to see trump just you know marched out of the white house in his striped pajamas going to jail or whatever and like i

wouldn't i wouldn't invest too much in that prison fantasies that people have i can't wait for the day when he's just getting reamed in a cell yeah you're like whoa really that's not how that's gonna work what world do you live in yeah i think that's just how people are dealing with their stress is like well that's gonna be his end game. It's going to rot in prison. It's going to come down to a really nuanced word game of like, well, I don't mean that. And that doesn't mean that. Well, we've already gone with, oh, there was no collusion, no collusion, no collusion. To Giuliani going like, well, what if he did collude? That's not a crime.

Right. I love that. Just like gaslighting. Like, what if a crime wasn't a crime? Yeah. It's like, wait, hold on, hold on. And what if he did it and then it wasn't a crime yeah it's like wait hold on and what if he did it and then it wasn't a crime

ladies and gentlemen the jury I ask you is male fraud even fraud yeah that's literally like the equivalent

of Robert Durst being like I murdered in self defense and then they're like sounds reasonable sounds good you're free sir

he got away with it now let me just smell one of those burps they're yummy lean in for one of those burps alright well he's my favorite Durst oh more than Fred rolling He's my favorite Durst.

Oh, more than Fred? Rolling, rolling, rolling. Yeah, Robert Durst was rolling, dude. Fred's got a jazz night in LA. He does? Yeah, he emcees. He doesn't play. But he does bring, he's a jazz fan.

He brings, you know. Good for him. Fred Durst is a dabbler. Good for him. Good for him. Okay. I like that he picked up a camera, tried to be a director. He did. He's just out here.

He's living his best life. He's cute. Shout out to all the red Yankee hats that people wear. Shout out to the nookie. Yeah, I mean, and stick it up your, yeah. Cute! Well, let's get into the news. So right now, obviously gun control is an ongoing thing that goes on in this country.

ongoing thing that goes on in this country uh but there is a large group of attorneys general from many states that are basically suing the trump administration to block a texas company from publishing the blueprints for 3d printed guns like guns you can just legitimately print on your own so you can be in your home and make an untraceable uh undetectable by metal detectors weapon. That first Obama, the Obama administration was suing them to stop it. But then the Trump administration sort of dropped their suit and the company is called Defense Distributed and they have like, yeah, exactly. They want to include all kinds of things like a single shot pistol and AR-15 lower receiver, which basically that if you have that part, you can buy many of the other parts without any kind of scrutiny and make your own assault rifle, a Beretta handgun.

So this is something that, you know, a lot of people are very worried about because it's like, oh, yeah, let's not you know, we already have a proliferation of gun problems. We can't regulate the ones that are legally acquired. Yeah. I mean, not to be like totally pessimistic, but I've thought about this a lot. And it's funny because it's like it seems like we're only going to get gun regulation the minute this technology is out of the box. There's no way to turn back on 3D printing. Right.

Like you can't really fully legislate this the way that people think. And it's like it's too far gone almost. People will be able to print up guns. Well, yeah. people think and it's like it's too far gone almost like people will be able to print up guns well yeah well right now i know that they're saying like a lot of these plans do exist on like the dark web in certain places if you know where to look at it but like they're trying to make it it's like just go to what they want to make it so guns aren't that complicated right but i'm saying in terms of getting the plans for this would just be going to like their website and it's like download this a lot of guns are like six parts. It's not even like a complicated mechanism.

It's a spring loaded thing a lot of times. This is something a person could design themselves. Sure. But this just makes it that much easier. And I think that's the concern is like saying. It is, but it's like, you can't like, it's sorry. Like we fucked it up. Like we should have taken care of guns back in the fucking like late 80s.

Right, right, right. So then what would you do to handle this? I mean, like... Everyone buy a gun and let's all die. That's the only way. I don't think there's going to be a way to do anything at this point. Well, Pandora's box is definitely open. There's no way you're going to take all the guns away, I think, from the people who already have them.

But I guess at the very least, they should make it as hard as possible for just anyone who... Because, you know, there are people who already shouldn't have access to guns, whether that's because of domestic violence or things like that. But I think they absolutely should put the kibosh on making it as easy as like I have a 3D printer. I can go to Defense Distributed and get a blueprint. I want them to be on top of it, but I want them to also be realistic about where things are going and what could happen technologically inside of like five years or something. So it's like, it's true. We do need to be proactive, but also like, I feel like they're chasing the puck a lot of times to use a hockey.

Yeah. Thank you so much. You got to go to where it's going to be. And it's like, they're just trying to- And then the Zamboni comes in, that's legislation. The Zamboni comes in. That's the cleans up. The clean up, yes.

The Zamboni comes in. Well, we need government Zamboni comes in. That's the cleans up. To clean up the ice. The Zamboni comes in. We need government Zamboni. I've been saying it for years. You're saying you think a lot about the 3D printing thing. So like where is the puck going to be that you think is a better way to tackle this problem of like widely distributed plants? The way I would tackle it would be to go talk to like engineers and people who actually like work in that field and stuff and ask them like what they think is going to be happening with that technology. Sure. Like because say like it's a machine right now that you – it's expensive.

I don't know if even theoretically this could be something that could be like so small, you know? Right. Like the technology could be so accessible, so ready. Oh, yeah. Like just to get a 3D printer in general? Yeah, yeah. to print anything. A knife, whatever. It's like, I'll throw this out there.

A knife. Yeah, 3D printed. A knife, one of the easiest things. I mean, you can make those with Popsicle sticks. The only thing that I... You could scan something with your phone, and then it prints from this other device or something. Oh, right, to sort of 3D scan it.

And that could be inside five years. The only thing that I would be hopeful for, which is like a depressing form of hope, is if the NRA can't figure out a way to monetize this in their favor,

I could see this being regulated. Well, which is why, yeah. Like, that's because they need to make money off of everything. You guys gotta get in this.

They're like, well, we make the ballistic plastic that you need to print this, so you gotta buy from us. Like, if they can. They're like, well, we make the ballistic plastic that you need to print this. So you got to buy from us. Like if they can't make another million billion dollars off of this scam, then what's the point? Right. Which is interesting because Donald Trump this morning, he tweeted, he was just saying, I'm looking into 3D plastic guns being sold to the public.

Already spoke to the NRA. Doesn't seem to make much sense. So it's as if. Whoa! Yeah, he's fighting them a little bit. Well, no, he probably was just like, hey, are y'all cool with this? Or what should I do?

Do you like 3D printed guns? Yeah, I think he plays it completely, like, double-sided. And it's like, well, you've been paid off by the NRA, so... Right, and they basically dictate the gun legislation here. I'm not saying they have full control, but, you know, whatever. That's what's funny is, like, I feel like he's so compromised, Trump, by so many different people having money over him that it's, like, I think he – there are some things where he's, like, I don't know, like, plastic guns that everybody can get. And then he's just, like – he looks at his, like, overlords and he's, like, okay. Well, I guess that's why – I'm not sure if that means he's going to

do something about it, because I guess what he's saying is he speaks to the powers that beat the NRA, and they're like, we can't make money off this, so get rid of it. And he's like, okay. Doesn't make much sense. See, there you go. So I think that's essentially what... That's more straightforward. Yeah, rather than talking to maybe

the engineers, you're saying like, where is this technology headed? Is this even the worst thing that can be made with a 3D printer? We just promote the NRA to fucking put the kibosh on it. We use them as like our, you know, enemy friends. They're like, hey, the NRA doesn't like this gun nut, so this can't be good. Right.

What else? What else? Oh, you know, the Koch brothers. Diet Koch. Those lovely, lovely boys. They have like this think tank where they were basically working on what they thought would be like a hit piece or hit study on the whole Medicare for all plan that Bernie Sanders and many other progressives have been propping up, especially a lot of people who we suspect will be running for president in 2020. But there's also, you know, this this thing is obviously a huge threat to the status quo, and there are naysayers from the left and the right

who have been like, you know, where's this money gonna come from, or it'll never work? And the answer is the money will come from all the rich people who aren't paying taxes. Like, actually rich, not people, not your uncle who's making 200 grand a year, time of people who are making hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The funny thing is

they eventually do give money to the government. Right. Just not through taxes. Right, exactly. Through massive payoffs. Right, exactly. It's a form of taxation, right?

No, 100%. But it's your choice of taxation, which I think we should have on the low level, right? Like, wouldn't it be great if you're like, okay, I'm never going to have kids, so I'm not going to support schools.

I don't give a fuck. But you want... You don't get anything else But you want sweet roads. Well, then what do you do? You get on a payment plane? Cruise down the one. I want to launch my Tesla down. I want to lube up the one and launch my Tesla down like a slippery little toboggan.

Hell yeah. That's a utopia you're describing. Just cruise the one. It's impossible. And that's why the Koch brothers have done their part to tear this myth down. I guess they released this study. Well, it's their funded group. I think it's like the Mercatus Institute or whatever, where they were saying like they

wanted to gross people out at what the price tag is of this whole Medicare for all idea where, you know, everyone has health insurance and people just don't die because they literally can't afford it. I mean, that's just, you know. I'm going to feel like it's going to be surprisingly low. Well, they were saying that, oh, now hold on to your butts because they're telling us it's going to cost $32 trillion over the next decade. So let's take that in perspective. How does that break down?

That's a huge number. I guess that would be about $3.2 trillion a year for 10 years. If you look at our government spending, trillions is a pretty normal thing, especially over a decade. But I guess they want to just put it as like, this Medicare for all things is going to cost $32 trillion out the gate. And then the quick, over the next 10 years. Over the next 10 years. And you're like, and my spinal surgery will cost me my life. Yeah.

So let's just do it. So in the U.S., right, we spend about $3.3 trillion a year on health care costs. That's between the government, people, private employers, and things like that. That's about what's being spent. So when you take into account things like inflation and things like that, we would actually end up saving a little over $2 trillion over the next decade if we moved to a Medicare for All plan. But again, I don't think they realized that that's what their study

would actually show people. It's like, well, fine, let's compare that to what we're doing now. It's still cheaper. I've never heard of inflation. But we can't profit off of that. Right. I love when rich people cuck themselves. It's

such a pleasure to watch. Well, yeah, especially the Koch brothers. Well, they bank on that no one's going to think about inflation or things like that. Oh, absolutely. Especially the average person. They're like, just, what? See? There it is. Well, then you think about what this actual plan would be. The Sanders plan would be

to provide comprehensive coverage for all residents of the United States, including primary, preventative care, emergency and hospital services, maternity and newborn care, prescription drugs, substance abuse and mental health services, pediatrics, lab and diagnostic services. It guarantees dental, vision, audiology and abortion coverage. This is the kind of thing that like get Almost like the things you need to survive. Get that socialism away from me. Yeah, it's disgusting. You call me queer. Wait, what's this?

I can be helped? It's almost like socialists want us to stay alive. I don't see how that works. Yeah, well, that's just kind of how, that's again when there are massive industries behind it who stand to lose trillions of dollars. That's when they have to activate the machine to be like, this is what it's going to cost i mean this is this is too much the political like or

what i don't know what social structures of say capitalism and socialism it's like it really feels like so many people just cling to capitalism because they're like it's like playing the lottery all the time where you're like i could be a millionaire though right i could be massively wealthy and like just you know right be a star or something like that. And socialism is all just like, I just want everybody to be okay. Yeah. Let's start from there. Yeah.

Right. It's just so bizarre. Let me have $500 million and then let the poor people fucking deal with it. Figure it out. Speaking of someone who has literally three weeks left of health insurance. It's been three weeks. And you're going to die. literally three weeks left of health insurance. It's been three weeks. You're going to die.

Yeah, this story is infuriating. Oh, you're about to get off the family plan? I'm about to do that fun thing that you get to do leading up to your 26th birthday where you just see doctors for the last time. You just see them for the last time. They give you a kiss. It's like the Wizard of Oz over and over. You break up with them, but it's sweet.

Yeah, you're just like, listen, we've had a great run. You're going to college, you know? You break up with a high school boyfriend. Listen, I'm going to, the gum disease is going to come back. It's going to, I'm going to start bleeding, you know? Can you show me some roots I could dig up that would help for this? I'm literally going to go to my doctors and be like, so what's like an at-home hack for surgery?

Like, what could I do? Body hack, body hack, hack the body, do push-ups. Body hack, do 10 push-ups in the morning, do 10 push-ups in the evening. Boom. Gum disease cured. Gum disease probably cured. With push-ups.

All right, guys, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Bye. Bye. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

And we're back. Thank you so much. That's my hack O'Brien. Yeah, you just hacked a show. Hello, the internet. And we're back. Thank you so much. That's my hack O'Brien. Yeah, you just hacked a show. Hello, the internet. And we're back.

And you've hacked the show successfully, Jamie. Yes, we're back. Let's talk a little bit about what legal smiegel Jeff Sessions is up to. Is that for me? Huh? Is that for me? No, it's something I completely came up with last night. Wow.

But since the world does revolve around you, yes, it was. So he was speaking to a group full of, you know, kind Christian people about how they need not worry about the threat of progress or gays because he's creating a religious liberty task force that will ensure that essentially the DOJ prioritizes the rights of religious people and groups in its policies and legal battles. And he went on to mention the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, as like this liberal monster that, you know, is like can too easily throw the label of hate group on nice Christian hate groups like the Family Research Council. That is a straight up anti-gay hate group that just sort of uses the Bible to justify like their horribly homophobic agenda. Dude, I'm down for America Sharia law. Yeah, it's pretty soon. This is going to be dope.

So, yeah, essentially Sessions is telling people that, you know, if you hate gays for Jesus reasons, then the DOJ will protect you. So the government is, yeah, fully stepping into the culture. This sucks because I was just becoming gay. Oh man. This sucks for me. Cause I was decided three weeks ago.

I'm going to be gay. Wow. And now not anymore. Now what's the point? Yeah. If the government's going to be against it. Well, this is the first time ever.

The government is just like they're really trying to say i think speaking to the people of like the the scared ignorant uh faction of america like look you don't have to worry about the secular world coming for you right now americans like with this kind of shit we will actually not be free from religious BS and intolerance. And who do you think they're going to back? Everything Sessions does is like a church and state separation issue. It's crazy. It's like separation, but then

embracing the church fully, right? Exactly. Like, yeah, the church is the state. And this is like a small gripe, but he doesn't even choose clever names to try to, you know, some hate groups will try to trick you, but the Religious Liberty Task Force couldn't sound more like a hate group.

Yeah. Like it just, they sound fully strapped. Task Force. It's horrible. Any kind of force is like, it's bad. Magnum Christ Force. That would actually be more of a fun name than this one, which is just already feels like you can see like the

what this group looks like like they have their own uniforms and go around and torment people but i think when you put that against sort of what the climate is around the country like lgbtq people are under dire threat under with this administration and this doj absolutely like in in hastings minnesota i was reading about like this this city, which was basically they signed like a resolution for the city, like celebrating all kinds of inclusion and supporting of diversity. And like no matter what your gender, race, everything, they were just sort of like, this is great. We as a city, we want to embrace this. Then eight religious leaders popped up and pushed back on this resolution. Then eight religious leaders popped up and pushed back on this resolution.

And this group of, quote unquote, religious leaders were insisting that gender dysphoria, which they described as confusion about gender identity, is factually unsubstantiated and hazardous to the well-being of our children and young adults. So when you start looking at this, you're seeing this more and more where it's like not shame. It's just completely shameless of being so yeah it's like when they labeled gay people as crazy and put you in insane asylum right and this is the same thing of dehumanizing uh transgender people and being like these people are confused they're a threat to the status quo of our community and they're slowly trying to seed this information like through the guise of these like religious leaders or maybe they're just sure of themselves and all of society is being shitty to them right sure it's so frustrating to see this especially in because like we're so you know like protected here but uh seeing in uh areas of the country that aren't necessarily known for always being progressive making these

progressive calls and then seeing them like gradually walked back is so fucking frustrating because it's like no it took so long to get there there this city to be like yeah we embrace our transgender community members a tiny place in minnesota are you kidding me like that's incredible and then and then to see this happen is so frustrating and that's like a common story though in politics is like it always goes progressive for a while and then gets walked back and yeah the pendulum will always swing but the thing is is like yeah freedom of like expression or being an individual always has like dominance so i think progressive values generally move us ahead right no absolutely it's just a really slow process well then i guess that that progress is then

hindered even more when you have jeff sessions being like, well, look, if you're religious and you feel like this is dangerous or whatever, we'll come back you up because that's, you know, fear not. Is this the oldest government that's been in office in a while? Like, Jeff Sessions feels old as fuck. Trump is old as fuck. Everybody's old.

In terms of being so violently out of touch. They're violently out of touch. Oh, yeah. 100%. Are they the richest cabinet? I don't know. I don violently out of touch. Oh yeah. 100%. I think it's, are they the richest cabinet? I don't know. Like there's, I don't know if they're rich.

I would like to know. I'm like, I want to see a Reagan Trump admit, like Bush one. I feel like Bush one was old. But I think again, like also in places like Michigan, the court ruled there that transgender women are in fact,

not actual women. And this is because of a case. They're not even trans. They're not even here. I'm not here. I'm not here. This is not Michigan. This room is empty. What the fuck?

Where all goes? This is one way to live. This case is from 2015 where a woman saw a transgender woman who she described as a man in the woman's locker room of her Planet Fitness gym. And she complained to management and warned other customers and prompted the gym to cancel her membership for inappropriate and disruptive behavior. So she sued Planet Fitness for over like $25,000 in damages, alleging that she suffered a violation of privacy as well as embarrassment, yada, yada, yada. So she lost her suit over the damages, but they can't sue her planet.

Yeah, but she alleged that Planet Fitness misrepresented the nature of its contract when it said that she would have access to a private women's locker room, but did not disclose that so too would quote men who self-identify as women in this court ruling. They kept using this same description uh when referring to the this transgender woman and so they're saying the inclusion of the policy would have affected her decision to purchase a membership and thus is irrelevant to her claim that planet fitness engaged in deceptive business right so we're increasingly in a world where even the courts are not doing their job of protecting all americans these are people in our community

there there's nothing fucking dangerous about people you are not familiar with. And this is like the theme of the U.S. right now. I think we need to restructure how we do bathrooms. For one, why does the government get to tell you where to shit and piss? That's on a biological level. You should be able to shit and piss wherever the fuck you want. Like that's perverted. That's ultimately the most perverted thing in the world is the president thinking they can tell you where to shit and where you can't.

Yeah, we tell you where to shit and can't. I mean, you're a human being. But no, I really feel like it will eventually have to come down to something where it's like a private bathroom or a public bathroom. That's it. What do you mean? Get rid of the gender thing. It's irrelevant. Oh, right, right, right.

Do you like to shit and piss by yourself? Do you mind being around people? You know, one room, one? Or you want to, every winner takes all that. Or do you want to make it a group thing? That's it. That's literally it. Probably, I mean, I've been to, like, when you go to, like, non-gender bathrooms that are multiple stalls, I don't mind being, I've been

in bathrooms like that too. And those stalls are actually better because each stall is a room and you can take the wild shit in public and not have people hear it. And, you know, shout out to those. Some people are loud, some people are private.

I'm very private. But I respect a lot of people. I can't take a shit in public. I think that a lot of people are loud. I love it. Exactly, so there you go. No, I mean like out in the street in public. I love it.

Oh, really? Let's build a couple more bathrooms. Because we've got some footage. Oh boy. We'll be fine. No, I mean like out in the street in public. Oh, really? Let's build a couple more bathrooms. Because we've got some footage. Oh, boy. We'll be fine. No, seeing cases like this is so, it is really frustrating to see this poor woman who was, you know, trying to get justice just to be acknowledged as a fucking human being. Right.

And then, you know, when you see cases like this, you know, the statistics of how often issues like this are actually reported and brought to court make total sense because the court is just used to absolutely humiliate someone for being who they are. And they're just, you know, arguing there. Who wants to get mired in that? Exactly. And then it's just like a public humiliation situation where evil wins and that's the American justice system. Yeah. Well, it's crazy.

Awesome. American justice system? Yeah. Well, it's crazy. Awesome. Like, when you think about people have been like, yeah, like, this feels like what Mike Pence

probably would have done if Trump were, had to resign and Pence became president all of a sudden. Right. This feels in line with, like, what his whole positive,

like, religious liberty task force. Because he really wants to, like, I think the presidency has been a little up and down, especially with all the scandals or whatever. It's like, it's really hard to ignore that.

Like the FBI is like looking into the president and that like a lot of his promises haven't happened. And so this is a swing, especially gearing up to midterms to go after the fucking southern religious base. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's the southern strategy that it's just firing them up. Created. It's like you just go always anytime there's any problem. It's like a big red button. You can just push and be it's like a big red button you can just push and be like, oh, but Jesus wants you to have guns and no abortions.

Right. You can just always go to that. And especially this is the new topic. It's like a full court press because yesterday Trump was like, I'll shut the government down over the wall. So, hey, let's dog whistle to all our xenophobes out there. And then you have Jeff Sessions being out there being like, and I got this thing where it'll be legalized hate if you're Christian yeah right and it's like this is the thing it's like also with shit that's like so demonic like that like it gets some leeway and then we walk it back you know it's like I feel like there's enough reasonable people who don't want to just straight

up like murder poor people like that work that's what was funny like last week we were talking optimistic. I don't know. I don't know. We were talking about this woman last week who like writes for the ultra conservative Daily Caller and she went to a rally where Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was speaking and like describing Medicare for all and she comes back

no she comes back to Fox and like what was it like? She's like well you know like they're saying stuff like yeah like free education for your kid and health care for your kid and you. And like, it's all stuff you want to hear. And it's like, I can see how people would want that. But it's like, I don't know. Like, where do they who's going to pay for it? Like, she's been panels.

Yeah. They really didn't know how to navigate that. Like, yes, of course, this appeals to people because we live in a country where the wealth divide is so great that we have people who literally can't afford to live. So just look at who owns your news network. How about that? Look at their values. Right, exactly. That's how you know what the network, what their line is. Yeah. Talking heads like that, I'm like, you may as well just have baby back ribs of poor people in front of you while you're talking shit like that, I'm like, you may as well just have like baby back ribs of poor people in front of you while you're talking. Right.

Well, I guess moving on to other stuff with the DOJ, obviously, and Jeff Sessions, things in his purview. Just quickly, I know we've been talking a lot about immigration, but we've kind of haven't updated on the fact that the child separation issue is still a problem and there are still families that have yet to be reunified. And there was also a story from BuzzFeed a few weeks ago about just sort of the general awful mistreatment of pregnant women who have been detained in these immigration detention facilities. And like they're talking about being denied proper prenatal care or even general care when they've miscarried in custody. And the stories are just, they're heartbreaking, like to the point where I don't even like just, you can look at the links that we'll put in footnotes because it's really, really dark. And if you think like it's abstract and it's just families being separated, no, there are mothers in there who are routinely just

treated awfully because of their status as non-Americans. And it's just really disgusting to see these holier-than-thou conservatives who are so about pro-life or whatever not give a flying fuck about these women who are in custody who are actually being, you know, some women were being shackled around the stomach while they're in custody. That just seems like basic human decency. Don't shackle a pregnant woman yes like it's just the over like militarization of the police force like kind of bleeding down yes it's like look like they just don't even know how to do this like in a humane way it's like if you really want to make

this case why aren't you doing it the most humane way possible like make a really shining example of what it is you think. Why are you doing it in the most stormtrooper-esque fashion? Yeah, because it just wants to be a warning to anyone else who might be thinking about it. It's a warning to people who aren't criminals, who do have family members inside the United States. They fucking talk to people.

Like, the word gets out. Like, this shit is, like, awful. And, I mean, obviously, like the issue of like part of the reason that pregnant women would immigrate here is to have a better life for their child. And the fact that the government is literally putting that pregnancy at risk, even with how they're being detained. Yeah. They don't get a fucking chance to like how it's just it's funny because it's like they're

like, well, they're going to come here and have the baby. The baby will become American. And it's like, I guess, anchor baby. And what's that kid going to do for the country? It's like, what the fuck are you doing for the country? Yeah. How are you making causing misery? Everyone's life better.

No, you're not doing shit. All they're doing. You're making this country worse. Yeah. You're the fucking drain. They're just making people who are scared of progress feel comfortable like well look we're treating them like shit so you can still feel good about what's going on in your life uh but luckily there are democrats in the house and senate who are now introducing bills to make sure that ice and cbp

are at the very minimum not shackling women who are in any phase of pregnancy and also mandate that uh dhs goes to the Obama era policy of where they would just have a pregnant woman. They would just set a court date and then release them. There you go. And then that's fine. Humane. Great.

It's also keeping in mind that it's like high levels of stress during pregnancy can cause a person to miscarry. So just the sheer act of doing this. Yeah. Detaining a person. It doesn't matter if you fucking like assault them or whatever. Exactly. It's like, Jesus Christ.

Well, so let's move on to some other news. There was another installment of the- This is very uplifting. Well, you know, yeah. That's the show. Sometimes we have days where we're only talking about Taco Bell and Domino's and other days it's heavier. Definitely do read the BuzzFeed story though because it is-

You guys are making me admit I'm a communist yeah the BuzzFeed story is really compelling and if you if anything is abstract anyone you know about this whole immigration debate have them read that story and if they still feel like oh yeah this is fine then maybe

watch any of the videos of these children who are like meeting up with their parents and they're clearly traumatized. Yeah, 100%. Any child psychologist would tell you. And then so, yeah. So on Friday, we found out that the head of CBS, Les Moonves, was written up by Ronan Farrow and The New Yorker for a string of sexual assaults and unwanted kissing and groping and just sort of general revenge type shit of women who were not favorable to his advances. And then we found out CBS yesterday was saying basically that they don't

believe any of the accusations because they are saying, well, we're going to do our own investigation. And then we'll, and then less Moonves will stay in his job until then as we figure this out. Investigative. We're sending the investigative branch. It just feels odd.

It's like one of those things where I don't know if it's because he – Les Moonves at CBS is like – because he's like the godhead figure of CBS. He's also too powerful. And he's been guiding the company into like just good profitability. Yes. That it's I guess different than Weinstein where there was like his influence was waning. So there's still this protection happening. I don't know what is the difference about this.

100%, that's it. Right? That's 100% it. It's influence, it's power. It's like, who can you readily like topple down and everything? Because I mean, also maybe this is timing, I'd say. Because this is like pretty far now.

Not far really, but like in the news cycle into the Me Too movement. So now you've seen other companies do, we're doing our own investigative research into it. So it sets a precedent and then companies think they can get away with it. Well, I've been following stories like this for, I mean, everyone has,

but I have a column on this exact topic coming out tomorrow in paste. And it, it sucks because there has been so much progress made in the past. I think it's been almost 10 months since the first story broke, but it is reaching the point now where it's been enough time that some people who are in like kind of the first wave of these, you know, like you're Louis C.K.'s and you're, you know, even later you're like Mario Batali's, they're already starting to plan how they're going to come back because there is, you know,

there was so much progress in some ways, but you could also argue there were some sacrificial lambs of, you know, the Cosby. Right, they're more like symbolic sort of, yeah. Right. And by and large, the people who have actually been punished had to do a lot. Like, you know, Cosby's got like 4,000 people that he's assaulted. And Harvey Weinstein got away with it for 25 years. And so when you see the Les Moonveses, they're like, oh, it's not that bad. Oh, it's the culture.

Right. And so now it's reaching the point where people are already starting to come back and figuring out how they're going to come back. Mario Batali right now is in the middle of making a company where he plans to install a female CEO so that people won't argue with him. Like, it's just like a virus mutating. Man, what a smart demon. It's really, it's extremely fucked up. I have a plan for all the comics. It's a comedy festival, and it's called the Monsters of Comedy.

Cosby, C.K., Manzari, Hardwick, T.J. Miller. The Monsters of Comedy. But yeah, I mean, Hardwick got his job back. That was one. T.J. Miller is back on shows. He's back at it. We got to hear what this guy's got to say. It's just, it's fucking appalling.

Do you think there's a responsibility of other comics to be like, I'm not going to perform with this person? Yeah, probably. Is there? There has been like pretty massive blowback. When TJ Miller was put back on shows, people were like not happy about it. Yeah, especially when you can affect that change in your own social network it's like it makes perfect sense for like LA Comics to be like well I prefer

not to perform with this person and you know what losing a spot for the night is not going to kill me so I would rather make you know I'd rather like myself than not like myself. Yeah or have my name on that list with that other name. Yeah sure. You said something and you made a point and that's

i think what people are thinking about a lot now where it's like if everyone in la comedy abandoned together way sooner like miller's shit wouldn't have been as much of an issue but it's like i know to an extent i was complicit in it and i in that i you know most of us knew about it like way before the story broke but if like people took this stand in like new york city stand-up comedy there would be no new york city stand-up comedy like they don't even have any morals but the reason this bothers me is there was a really well put together segment about it the main segment on last week tonight this week was about workplace harassment and past me out uh past attempts at movements like this including this one you sung when he's talking to Anita Hill, right? Yes, yeah, where John Oliver interviewed Anita Hill.

It was very good. But they are repeatedly referencing during the Anita Hill era, because that whole case was in 91, there was this huge movement of pro-female empowerment. And it was an analog to the Me Too movement that failed ultimately because after a while there were a few sacrificial lambs that were taken down and then, you know, the world moves on and these guys sneak back into their jobs.

And so it's like if people are not very aware that this is happening, which they're not right now. It needs to be legislation, like actual government change to affect this sort of thing. Because if it's only been, you know, however many months, none of these people are learning anything like it's just they're just going away on time out and coming back yeah and you've even got the people who have like the clever pr of like you know i think the one man i've heard of actually like apologizing was the dan harman thing where he actually apologized and it was like, oh, this is at least the illusion of productivity. Admitted it at least, yeah.

In a way that was more self-aware than like, hey, I'm sorry if whatever I did hurt somebody. That seems like how a lot of other ones are written. And he benefits from that because three months after that small thing,

he gets a thousand million episodes of Rick and Morty and it's confusing to me that people don't see that taking actions like that however like It's a little duplicitous. Yeah I mean. You want to save your own ass. Right but it's like

that is a net positive for culture so it's like if you can't admit to your own mistakes then I don't know. I'm frustrated and concerned that the productivity of the whole movement is slowing. Yeah, it'll be interesting what happens with CBS. Like if talent on the network speaks up and says, like, I don't know if I can be on a network that basically is from the top.

I think the thing they find is this collective bargaining thing really does help. It's like if an entire cast say, I mean, very bad example, but Guardians of the Galaxy, all the cast was like, we want the director back. You fired him. We think that's bullshit. And that makes a bigger thing. Right. You know? Right.

Because then it's like an entertainment story. So if people who work on that network, like, say something, that would absolutely affect change. And then Moonvis, the last thing I wanted to say about that is just like, most of it is that men need to evaluate their ingrained behaviors and sort of sort their shit out. And that's the big takeaway. And it has to start young and the whole bit. But because Moonves at the beginning of the Me Too movement was, you know, like raking in praise.

And he was just like, yeah, we got to get these guys out of there. And either was, you know, like I would buy that he was deeply in denial that he had any ingrained behaviors and had done any of this himself. So, you know, if you're a man over the age of one, I would recommend just, you know, turning inward. You've probably done something fucked up and weird. And if you're confronted with that information, cop to it. And in general, you will be like, even if you're a selfish piece of shit, you'll be looked on more favorably.

Yeah, if you can own that and say, I recognize that and that's wrong, I can move forward. I'm trying to evolve past that. It's when people begin to defend themselves, even if like, you know, just these half-assed apologies, they ring hollow. And that doesn't help anyone. Yeah. Like when Louis C.K. said the word dick in his apology. Yeah. Jesus. All right, let's take. said the word dick in his apology. Yeah. Jesus.

All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about more dick. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered.

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we are back. So... The world is a vampire. What happened with old Mila Kunis? Jamie, because last week we were talking about how she basically said

did something so fucked up to Macaulay Culkin that she's like, what I did was fucked up and how I did it was fucked up and I can't believe what happened. All right. Hack O'Brien here with Mila News. Mila hit the WTF this past week. She's hitting all the pods.

All right, lock the gates. Rogan Network getting the creatine shake. So Marin and Kunis they're good as you would say. No. He like doubled down on that question was like I think

referenced the first interview was like you were telling Dax Shepard that you did some fucked up stuff and like asked if she and Macaulay Culkin were on good terms and she said no we're probably not as friendly as we could be. There's too many aspects of it that prevented us from

ever moving forward, blah, blah, blah. And so but then I've since read some some excellent timelines put together by some great content creators slash scammers who are sort of saying, OK, this is what we think could have happened. Basically, it's possible. I wouldn't rule out that Ashton and Mila have possibly been dating on and off since that 70s show. And it affected Ashton and Demi's marriage. And it also seriously affected Macaulay and Mila. So, which, I mean, that's kind of the most boring outcome of that. And now they're happy together.

I know, which is actually kind of frustrating. I was like, oh, that's... They win. They're just hanging out down the street. The same old day. I stuck last week. I can't think. Oh.

That was so upsetting. Amazing. Yeah, but, you know, Macaulay Culkin's dating Brenda Song, so. Okay. Who dat? Who dat? She was on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Oh, wow.

So I was really excited about that. She's like 14. She's 14 years old. I know that's dating me, but I think The Suite Life was only yesterday. That was a while ago, wasn't it? That was like Dylan and Cole Sprouse. Dylan and Cole are my age. They're like older.

They were the little kids from Big Daddy, right? Yeah. See, that's how I know them. And I was like, oh yeah, they played the twins on Big Daddy. They're such a senior citizen. They're from Big Daddy. So they played two kids? Yeah, because you've got to have twins to be able to work those 12-hour days, Bobby.

Minors can't work those same hours in production. I'm so excited. I just had a seizure. Just figured it out. Why didn't they get into the Olsen twin type shit? Making mystery novels and little... They're not on their hustle like the Olsen twins. They're very funny.

They're really good on social media. Alright, let's get into one more story because we talked about how Bigfoot's penis is literally a thing that's being discussed in a congressional race right now. You guys ever see Bigfoot's dick? It's almost like that. I don't have Bigfoot's dick. You ever seen it?

You ever wonder what it's like? Is it circumcised? I don't know. I don't know why we're saying this like it's a joke. Well, I guess not. Not kink shaming. What's interesting is that in Virginia's 5th District, there is a man running named Denver Riggleman III. Oh, go on.

But he only runs as Denver Riggleman. He's the people's champ. Yeah, and even though there's reported associations with neo-Confederate white nationalist leaders, that isn't the thing that's getting the most attention right now. That's a pass. Yeah, because we're like, we're past fucking racist Nazi people running. What's the second layer of this? So we find out that his opponent, the Democrat Leslie Cockburn, she posted some really chill screen grabs from his now private IG account.

And they're literally like photos like this. It's a sketched, ripped Bigfoot with a long sensor bar over the crotch. That is such a long sensor bar. This guy apparently has a very interesting background. So there are like a couple photos where he was saying like, oh, they're goofs that my friend sent me. He's written books before. There was a book called Bigfoot Exterminators

Inc. The Partially Cautionary Mostly True Tale of Monster Hunt 2006. Solid title. Very easy to remember. Michael Crichton. And then now these other images of the, as we call it, the Bigfoot erotica,

apparently are like promotional images that he was floating around. He's calling it cover art for his new book, which is called The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him. So take that in for a second. I mean, some kink shaming's funny. This is, I mean, I guess if you want to be with a mythical creature.

Let's be honest. Like adult babies. It's funny. Adult babies, right. Adult babies, right. If an adult person says, I'm a little baby, how do you expect me not to laugh? I clap and I cheer. You can laugh, but I'm going to be like, yo, but if that's how you got to get your

jollies, do you. I jingle the keys in front of them. I play. I love the whole kink community is fun and wild. Love it. I guess we have a little time to talk a little bit about the Tea Report with Topher Grace. Oh, the Tea Report. So he dated Ivanka Trump.

He did. He's kind of spinning it to make people see his new movie. Get the fuck out of here. I know. He was a little dodgy about it. He kind of sucks, maybe. Oh, no. I was saying this earlier.

I think if we're ranking. Shittiest 70 show people? Okay. Obviously, Danny Masterson. Danny Masterson. Danny Masterson is dead. But I think Topher Grace is the second worst one. He's like the coolest one is Red because he was in Robocop.

Yeah, we do include Red canonically uh but i would go danny masterson obviously trash bad uh topher grace just like not someone i want to look at didn't love when a date with tads whatever hamilton dad hamilton hampton loves that movie oh yeah i watched a couple of topher grace movies i thought he was my guy and then he turned out to be the shitty guy also wilmer, it might be my... Wilmer is this kind of... He's a middling guy. There's nothing bad about him. He's not interested in

Wilmer Valderrama. Yeah, he's just a guy. Isn't he Yo Mama? Wasn't that his show? Oh yeah, he did do Yo Mama. That was his show. Anyways, Tom Fugres briefly did date Ivanka Trump in 2005. Ivanka Trump, then a 24-year-old New York socialite, this is from the cut, dumped her long-term boyfriend, wait for it, Bingo Goobelman.

Wait, that's actual name? Yeah, who hasn't raw-dogged a guy named Bingo? We've all been there. Bingo was his name-o. Let's move on. Bingo was his name-o. Let's move on. Bingo was his name-o. And then she rebounded briefly with Topher Grace. And he was spotted at her 25th birthday party, which was also attended by Ryan Cabrera, Chelsea

Handler, and Maroon 5's Adam Levine. Okay. So what he has to say about it is he never met Donald Trump. He didn't do it for political reasons. Please go see Black Klansman. Like that was basically the whole thing. Wait, but Topher's in Black Klansman? He plays a white Klansman.

I don't know what to make of this anymore. I know. Because now I want to watch the movie. I love how people use tangential Trump stories to try and promote something. That's so funny that he had to really just specify I just wanted to fuck. He's like I and promote something. that he had to really just specify. He's like, I just wanted to fuck.

He's like, I frenched his daughter. He had to really make it clear. In the thing though, he does say that they dated. Well, yeah, he said that they

went on a couple of dates. It seems like she was coming off a bingo. Yeah, he hooked up with her a couple of times. I guess so did Quincy Jones. What an opportunistic thing

to mention though. I know. And then you have to really specify. By the way, I hooked up with her a couple of times. I guess so did Quincy Jones. What an opportunistic thing to mention, though. I know. And then you have to really specify. By the way, I wasn't fucking her because her father's a racist. I don't do that. And I didn't meet him because I'm political, because I don't want to put off any right-wing people who might see this movie, too.

Right. Yeah, like, what are you talking about? Like, she's lame. This is a non-story. You should just be like, hey, I met Ivanka once. See this movie. End of story. I fucked some celebrities. They should just be like, hey, I met Ivanka once to this movie. I fucked some celebrities. They did meet.

I guarantee you, yes. They did meet when Ivanka was traveling with Paris Hilton at the premiere bash for her hit single, One of My Faves, Stars Are Blind. Really? That's a good one. Yes. So there is that. And that's the T-Report, baby. All right.

I've been hack O'Brien. Wow. Throw the shades right back on. Yes. How come Paris hasn't come out with another banger? The only one was a great one. Gosh. I mean, she's probably in the lab right now.

She's in the lab with a pen and a pen. Exactly. You know what I mean? She's chefing something up. She's working. Yeah, she's chefing it up. Well, Hampton, it has been a pleasure. Tell people where they can find you, support you, Venmo you, whatever you want to do.

Oh, please. Yeah, guys, I run a podcast myself. It's a comedy mental health podcast. It's called Suicide Buddies. It's with me and Dave Ross. He's the comic you had on- Yesterday. Yesterday, yeah.

And it's funny, and it's basically we talk about uh depression mental health and we often discuss like a suicide in history that we kind of want to analyze and talk about like what the fuck happened amazing you know so what's your interest in mental health how'd you guys get started on that um i've had like suicidal depression okay for a long part of my life like i've also like talked about it in my stand-up and like been able to like be funny and talk and just be open about it. And like that's oftentimes what people most, you know, wrote to me or wanted to talk to me about or something. So I kind of knew that like maybe there was something there. Amazing.

Yeah. All right. Well, yeah. Check that. Suicide buddies. What about on the interwebs? You got you on social meds? Yeah.

Check me out on Twitter. That would be the easiest at Hampton Yunt. All right. It's mostly self-promotion right now, guys. I'm trying to get funny again. There you go. It's going to be boring for a little bit, but I post a lot of good art. There you go.

It's true. Are there any tweets that you've read recently that you're liking in particular that you want to shout out? Yeah, this one I selected earlier, and it actually ties into the collusion thing. It's Elliot Kalin. He's the head writer at Mystery Science Theater 3000. And he wrote, collusion doesn't have to be listed as a crime. Treason is a crime. The same way hurling someone into the sun isn't listed as a crime because murder is a crime.

What about you, Hacky? Old Hacky Sack over here. Hacky? A little Hacky sack over here. Hacky sack. I'm going to choose a tweet that involves me because apparently I'm obsessed with myself. Okay, so I did a few, Zeitgang people were asking me about this because sometimes the Zeitgang doesn't quite, they're like, what is the youth? What is the youth? So what is the youth? What is youth? Me don't understand.

Your girl is here to help. So I'm choosing a tweet by Tabasco Sweet, my friend and associate. Last week we were talking about my terrifying Ariana Grande, Ariana Venti cosplay. So that video went up today. Yeah. So shout out to sworn enemy at Jamie Loftus Help for roasting me during my special moment. There's a 20-minute video of me insulting Tabasco Sweet that came out today. And so that's the tweet I will cite.

20 minutes of verbal abuse from you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing. You can find me at Miles of Grey on Twitter and Instagram. Let's see. What a tweet I like. Oh, it's from Travis Helwig. The homie Travis Helwig.

He wrote a tweet. He said, if you're under 30 and you, quote, love to travel, congrats. You grew up rich. And then it set off a whole thing underneath. It would be like, what if I just worked my whole life? It's like, okay, easy, buddy. I'm not trying to take away that you're a hard worker. It's a commentary on our society.
