Lucas, you into freestyle rapping, bro?
I mean, every white guy is.
Just observing.
I think every white guy likes to do that.
No, I just, I just found this video.
I was about to show Jack.
Have you seen this video, the tech dude, the AI tech bro freestyling?
Is he nice with him?
No, dude, he's fucking terrible.
Go, it's like you're on a trip.
You got the rip when you're hanging out with the room like you hire the mushrooms.
What?
Because this is what we do.
It's the love.
It's a gift straight up from the God above when you're hanging with your friends at the
Amador club.
And when you got this, it's a flash.
Oh, you know he's feeling himself too.
He's losing it.
So hot like it's the gold rush because when you're here, you got the AI.
It's so fly.
And what's the AI is.
Oh, that's not where the rhyme was supposed to go.
The second he said AI, I'm like, sir.
I mean, the second he was rapping with that.
quarter zip fucking fleece on it.
Yeah, you know he thought he fucking killed that shit.
Get the fuck out of here, sir.
I wish it stayed with him for like the mic drop moment where he was like,
oh, and everyone was just like, uh-uh, like nervous laughter.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that was utterly insane.
That reminds me of so many times I've done that exact same thing.
Had an AI conference?
I mean, honestly, it's like better that that guy has a job.
It's more embarrassing to be freestyling and not making money.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
At least he's, like, trying to fight through it, like, an awkward...
Wait, were you earnestly doing, like, some freestyles as a...
In college?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was that you?
Was I earnestly doing some pre-shows?
Yeah.
What was it, like, what was a beat that would hop on?
You're like, oh, shit, hold on, bro.
Dude, my shit used to be, um...
Oh, shit.
It's a, it's even more embarrassing.
It's a rust beat.
99.
You know the one that's like, do no, do, do you know.
Yes, yes.
I really liked that one.
And we would smoke weed and freestyle.
And let me tell you this.
You're going to be shocked to hear it.
We weren't good at it.
Oh, man.
You know what's so funny?
I don't know if you noticed the top comment on that video was Russ.
No.
Yeah.
That's so mean.
Did you?
Oh, my God.
I thought you, part of me was like, did you see the Russ comment on the fucking video?
No, no.
Yeah.
Russ is just like a door map for people that like rap.
You know what I mean?
People just shit on Russ.
I don't think he deserves all the hate that he gets,
but I get why he gets it.
For sure, for sure.
Oh, man.
He's really short, I think,
which is like, just, that's brutal.
Hard time.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Is this the beat?
Yeah.
Wow, I can see you, but all right, clear out, clear out, clear out.
Walking through the lacrosse team thinking you're about to do something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hold up, bro.
Watch out.
King's on the mic.
Hold on.
Yo.
Yo.
Yo.
Yo.
Yo.
Yo.
You just keep saying, yo.
I think he's stuck.
He's saying yo for 16 bars.
Taking way too long to start.
All right.
All right.
The build up part before New York State of mine.
All right.
Here we go.
Here is it.
What is it?
I'm just saying, man.
You skip the beat.
You're like, and you know I'm with the guys.
The guys.
Who are my guys who'd like to try.
They score on the fly.
Yeah, all right, bro, I got to go.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 417, episode 3 of Dernelie Zeit.
Production of iHeartRadio.
This is a podcast where you take a deep dive into
America's shared consciousness through the day's news.
We have a new weekly history version of the show
dropping each Monday morning where you do a deep dive
into the history of different icons.
So far we've done Einstein, Erkel, and Miss Piggy.
You can look for the episodes with icon in the title.
It is Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025.
This is, dude, today, the worst day,
the National Package Protection Day.
And it looks like just like, it's like something about like
fronty by ring.
Yeah, something.
Yeah.
Fronting by the new AI surveillance technology.
And National Roof Over Your Head Day.
But it's a family like holding a box over their head.
And I'm like, what are we trying to, what is this?
Not worth even expanding the link to know what it's about.
So pretty light day in terms of national days.
National roof over your head day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, just be grateful, you know.
Hey, even if it's cardboard, baby.
The bounty that we've been given.
My name's Jack O'Brien, aka Fat Pipe, Fat Pipe, that's what all the people say.
Polanka had trouble, just a look in a way.
That one courtesy of David Lesser in reference to the Polanka interview where he talked about how massive Frank Sinatra's dick was.
Yeah, yeah.
And how he just couldn't make eye contact with anyone.
kept looking at Frank Sinatra's massive dick.
It looked like, the way Paul Anka said, it sounded like he's like, you know, I'm scoping
dicks out when I go to Asana.
It wasn't more like, I've seen all the dicks.
Yeah, yeah.
And he's like, Milton Burrell, watch the fuck out.
Yeah.
That is, I mean, legendarily, Milton Burrell had a massive dick.
Did you see that Saturday Night Live movie about the like origin story of Saturday Night Live?
Oh, that came out recently?
No.
Yeah, where it's like a real time, like 24 hour, like, or 24 thing.
Yeah.
Where, like, they come up with all of the stuff for the show in, like, the 15 minutes before the first episode.
But anyways, Milton Burrell's there pulling his hog out, which I guess was a thing that he would want to do.
Yeah.
I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
Yes, it's Miles Gray.
The Lord of Lancashire, I thought he was very on the showgun with Nolan.
Thank you for having me on this wonderful Wednesday.
I love when you thank me for having you on the show we've done together for seven years.
Look, you know, I was raised to be grateful, you know.
Grateful for that roof over your head and for the podcast that you co-created.
Yeah, I don't want to take the green screen away from behind me because it's, it's bad back there.
It's bleak back there.
It's a lot of empty instant noodle.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, you're welcome, Miles.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny stand-up comedian.
Yes.
Whose stand-up and crowd work has exploded all over the internet.
He just did a local news interview in Chicago with his shirt off.
He's got shows coming up in Austin, Hartford, New York City, Chicago, Dallas.
He's a road dog who stays selling out shows.
It's Lucas Elnick!
Welcome, welcome.
It's my pleasure to be here.
I didn't know if I was just kind of letting you guys go on the intro,
but I also know a lot of people with huge dix.
Oh, sick.
Congratulations, man.
Shout out my college roommate, Michael Fahey.
That's his full name.
He's got one of the biggest I've seen.
He's no Frank Sinatra with the pipes, but he's got the pipe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Dual pipes with that guy.
Did you have trouble making eye contact with him when you guys were just like hanging out,
dicks out, like a couple of rows?
Dude, I remember the first time I saw it, we were just like hanging.
It was like college and I was like, I never said anything.
And then I remember like maybe second or third year of college.
We all had a friend group, right?
And then like, I think it was maybe like second or third year of college.
all of my friends were hanging out without him.
And someone was like, is it me or is his dick like huge?
And everyone was like, okay, I was going to say that.
Finally.
Somebody finally broke the ice.
Yeah.
We were all sitting on it because we didn't want to sound like we had small ones,
but then it was like a collective relief.
We can all, we're not small, he's big.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, him big, him big.
Yeah.
We're normal.
This is like too big.
It's like kind of weird how big has it.
It looked fatherly.
It looked like a dad dick.
It was like they had the girth of a dad dick.
Yeah, yeah.
The pee sound was hitting the water harder.
Oh, yeah.
And like a long, like, why do those guys pee for longer?
Yeah.
Has anyone noticed that?
The guy's bigger dick's pee for longer?
I'm like, we have a bigger bladder too.
Yeah.
But this guy, yeah, he had it all, man.
That was awesome.
He's still with us.
I mean, yeah.
He has it all still.
His dick is still probably big, but you probably, you can't confirm that at this point.
No, and I never got to see it hard.
I always hoped it would, like, shrink or something hard, but I don't know.
I always had, like, an unrealistic hope that it would be like, or it would, like, turn a
different color or be gross.
Yeah, probably weird.
There's probably something weird about it.
Yeah, for sure.
Something wrong.
Well, Lucas, we're thrilled to have you here, fresh off your Chicago local news interview.
Why did you choose to go shirt off just to, like, so people would remember it?
Just going on local news, it's so.
that if you can't try to make, do some kind of funny bit with it.
I feel like it's a waste of your time as a comedian.
Because they're literally like, what makes people want to come see your show?
And it's like, you have to be like, oh, well, it's fun.
But I feel like if you can't be funny, then it's like you have not, you're, you're just going
to have to trust me that I'm funny.
Right.
Yeah.
I'm going to answer you very reasonably, non-comedically, and you'll have to believe that
I'm worth seeing.
So what I like to do, not that local news really helps sell any.
tickets to the show. I've tried to find different ways where they'll keep me on. Like they
almost either I can do a bit where they don't know I'm doing a bit or a bit where it's like
not, I try to walk up to the line where it's like not quite inappropriate enough that they can
do anything about it. So each time I try and find a different thing. When I was in Charleston and I did
their local news, I read a detailed history of the slave trade in Charleston. And it kind of put,
It put them in a bind because, like, they let me do it because they're not going to, like, shut me off while I'm, like, reading history.
It's your local history.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then in Houston, I just find this interesting about your local community.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was like, it did happen there.
You don't want to be the guns that it didn't happen.
Yeah, right?
You're not denying it, right?
And then in Houston, I just fully lied.
I just made up, like, a fake charity that I was there to promote and they believe me.
And so then today, my goal was I was going to take.
take my shirt off. But if they asked me any questions about why I was doing that, I was going
to basically ignore those questions and redirect it back to the interview in a really serious way.
So when they asked me why I took my shirt off, I said, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if we could
just focus on promoting the shows. And they didn't ask again. And I did the whole interview
with my shirt off. That's amazing. All right. Well, we won't reference the fact of your shirts
off during this interview. It's great to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about
today. We're going to do a quick check-in with one of the best answers in a little while from
Donald Trump. No comment. I don't want to comment. Then comment.
Yes. Straight out of like the like naked gun or I think there, no, I think it's actually a bit
in the other guys, right? Oh, it might be. Yeah, the rock is like, we, we,
We can't comment on that, but the answer is yes.
Right, right, right.
He basically did that.
We're going to talk about two new main characters on the Internet.
One is a Oklahoma college student who submitted an essay that was awarded no points.
Got zero out of 25.
So we just want to evaluate the essay, see, you know, what we think of her work and her arguments as the why this constitutes First Amendment discrimination.
And then we'll talk about the say hi to me hiker guy
Yeah, who did a PSA, like a weirdly threatening PSA
About how you should always say yes to a man if he says hi to you
And then the war on Christmas is back guys. I don't have to tell you guys this. The fucking war on Christmas is back. I know
Is back. I'm leading the charge, bro. Yeah, that's right. That's what we're here for. Yeah, fuck all that. So we'll talk about all that plenty more. But first, Lucas, we do like to ask our guest
What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Oh, yeah, let me pull it up.
I had a couple good ones.
Let's see, let's see what I was cooking on this week.
This week, I, oh, I was searching up James F. Goldstein.
You guys know this guy?
I don't think so.
No.
James F. Goldstein is that old crusty dude with the crazy outfits that's...
Oh, at the Laker Games.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That old lizard?
I did a fucking deep dive on this guy because he's insane,
but he has this insanely sick house.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
From Big Lobowski.
Oh, is that the house?
That's where the house is Jackie Trehorn, right?
Yeah, we're Jackie Tree.
Damn, you make a hell of a Caucasian, Jackie.
I knew that I had seen it somewhere.
I did a deep dive on this house because he's been like modernizing it steadily.
The original architect that did it,
It's this crazy house.
It looks like a spaceship.
I guess if you've seen the Big Lebowski, you know what it looks like.
But it's this crazy house, and the architect died in like 94, but he's been like modernizing
everything so that like the roofs all retract and there's like a pointed floor to ceiling
window at the tip of the house and then that retract.
So it's all like indoor, outdoor and everything's like triangles and shit.
And then he built, he bought his neighbor's property and built a nightclub out of it.
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
I was thinking about just DMing him and just asking to come to one of his parties after the Lakers game
because I feel like he doesn't really know anything about social media or the internet.
And if someone with like followers DMed him, he'd probably just be like, sure.
Is he on Instagram like that?
Yeah, dude, he's on Instagram.
He has like, he has like few enough followers that I could reach him, but enough followers and activity on there that I bet he's checking it.
He's 178,000 followers, and he's always posting just, like, pretty unhinged shit.
This is just like, it's like, it's like dad posts.
Like this, this is just a video from his hotel suite, and it's just like, view from my hotel suite.
Pretty nice, I guess.
He's got the balcony railing in the middle of the shot, too.
Come on, bro.
Compose that shot a little bit better, Jimmy.
It's just every dad.
And then, and then a lot of pictures with just like women.
that are at least 30 years younger than him.
Right.
Who are that?
Is there even a description?
He's like, look at me.
These are my medical questions.
What's the caption on this puppy?
Hashtag happy Thanksgiving.
There's is.
Oh, God.
That's right.
I mean, he's not going to put an honest caption on there.
He's not going to be like, here are two people I paid to spend time in my company.
Right, right.
I shouldn't talk shit on the king, by the way, because I am looking to go to one of his parties.
Yeah, yeah.
He also posts a lot of video of him dancing with women who are both taller and younger than him.
and his hips
his hip movement
it's just rocking back and forth
he's not ready
he's not ready for those young kids
he's really holding on to this woman
and I can't imagine that
I don't know how many layers
of emotion
she's like blocked off here
or what she's actually feeling
as this happens
but I can't imagine that's like a good feeling
when like a magnet
who's so tan
that his skin has to be falling off
is like grab of your hips
and pulling he's like
constantly molting an unwrapped mummy
who does that
to put some makeup on.
He's like,
hey,
he want to dance?
Oh,
yeah.
To push pictures of him
dancing with women.
I think if you're like,
hey,
I got,
like I'm coming with the flyest chicks.
He'll be like,
yeah,
man,
come on through.
Come to the nightclub.
Yeah.
Yeah,
100%.
Yeah.
This feels attainable.
Yeah,
I think he got to.
See if he gets back
to you by the end of the show.
Oh,
shit.
It says you can't message this account
unless they follow me
to connect it may help to follow them.
All right,
let me tell us some a follow-in.
Yeah,
Well, let's just get the engines going on.
But I've been doing a deep dive into that guy.
Interestingly, there's pretty much no information on why he's so rich available publicly.
But it's weird because it's like, what are you?
Because when a guy dresses like that, it's like, are you a good business guy?
I don't think anyone would take you seriously in business.
The thing I always heard, because he is like sort of a bit of an NBA legend because he's always
court side at every, but not just Laker games.
Like, he'll, you'll, you'll, like, see courtside at, like, a Pacers game, you know?
Like, just he, he loves NBA basketball.
And the story I had always heard was that it was, he was a porn magnate who then has, like, kind of taken that out of his backstory as porn magnates are wanted to do.
Well, the other thing is he's a landlord.
Like, there was a whole thing where he was, like, fighting rank control, too.
Like, I think he owns a ton of real estate in Century City or something also.
And he, like, was, like, evicting old people.
Oh yeah
There's a 2010 interview on him
You guys know a lot about him
I'm actually thrilled
I feel like
Well is it Laker fan
Yeah is a Laker fan
You kind of learn who the front row group is
I think the most mysterious woman
Is that Asian lady too
Who sits next to Jack Nicholson
She also I think it's like
There's some
Dynastic business
Or like her father owned like a ton of
I don't know
All these people who said courtside
Got like weird money
Did you see that anecdote
that someone posted over Thanksgiving weekend about,
they were like, my mom dated Jack Nicholson for a little while.
And it was pretty good.
It was basically like there was a woman stalking him.
They were really worried about it.
Everybody was on high alert.
Like, you know, if this woman shows up, like call the police.
She's like sending the most unhinged shit to him.
And one day she shows up at his house that he's living,
or his apartment that he's living at with.
this guy's mom and she's like oh shit oh shit like you know she goes to call the police comes back
to the living room after like being on on the phone with the police who are like we can't really do
anything you know so she's like talking for five minutes comes back they're gone and she's like
fuck did she like kill him did she kidnap him she's like looking around the house she goes up
to one of the bedrooms and she's blowing him
And this is all alleged, but she, you know, the mom kicks her out.
And it's like, what the fuck?
He was like, well, she offered me a blowjob.
What was I going to say no?
And, oh, yeah, what was the end of that?
It was like, and that's quite literally what a legend is, is that you can tell a story
about someone and it's as believable that it's true as it is that it's false.
Right, right.
There's no way to know.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There are so many stories about him.
that are like more incriminating so you can't really like tell them but for sure yeah what is something
Lucas you think's underrated underrated I got to say I think maybe maybe I'm singular in this but
I feel like every week there's a crime or true crime documentary that comes out on Netflix
that I find completely gripping that takes takes a hold on me for a good hour and a half like
I think, I don't know why we're not talking about them more often.
Like, it used to be all the rage.
It was like making a murderer and all these cult ones, you know, wild, wild country.
But I still feel like they're cooking.
Yeah.
And I don't really, I feel like no one's even talking about it.
I mean, there was like a really fucked up sad one.
I don't know if you guys saw the perfect neighbor.
No, no, no, no.
Oh, yeah.
I remember that one was.
That one's not funny or cool.
That's, like, fun to joke around about.
There's some funny murder ones.
That one.
No, no.
Yeah.
Yeah, that one was actually, like, fucking devastating.
But just that, like, it's crazy because you would think, like, when a new show comes out,
I feel like everyone's talking about it or it's like a severance thing.
But I feel like Netflix is just consistently, like, week after week, putting out an unbelievable doc.
Right, right, right.
Oh, that was the one or the little girl.
Oh, yeah, yeah, that one's, that one's really sad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember that story unfolded, yeah.
Yeah, it was just devastatingly.
I think it, like, got slated down with, like, romance novels.
Like, now, like, people are, like, I fuck with this, but, like, I don't really, like, talk
about how much I fuck with this because it's, like, kind of exploitive.
And so people are secretly, like, consuming.
Like, the fact that they have a new one every week is, like, probably they know that these
are doing pretty well.
But, yeah, everybody's, like, kind of ashamed about it.
I grew an appreciation for how good they are because I was,
in the Caribbean and I was on foreign Netflix because you know they like geolocate you
change what content you have access to so I ended up watching this British one it was called
there was something about this guy called the Fox who was like or they called him the
five was a classic British shit like they gave this robber and nickname instead of just like
catching him but uh instead of like doing trading cards they bragged about how good the
police work was but it took them like 80 fucking victims to catch this guy
And the whole doc was about how great the police was.
And I was like, they weren't.
Like this way got caught.
But you need their cooperation to get the details.
So you're like, 100%.
But this is the thing about the British one.
And this is why I realized how good the American ones were, was they just, I think out of respect for the victims, just gave absolutely no details.
Yeah, that's what they do in the press there.
Yeah.
So they were like, they were like, yeah, this guy comes in and he commits a horrific assault.
And then that was like the description of the crime.
And I'm like, you guys, like, we're watching this because it's exploitative.
Like, we're not watching this to know vaguely what happens.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you compare that to, like, an American one.
Like, and then, like, you.
It's like too much details.
Sure.
Yeah, I think, I think American true crimes and it's golden age.
Yeah, American true crime will be like he committed an assault.
And here's what it probably looked like with the cast of Dawson's Creek reenacting the very
3D animation.
Right.
What is something you think is overrated?
I'll say this, okay, and I hate to come at my king like this, but Delta status, everyone's
like, oh, I have Delta status.
Yeah, we all have Delta status, and now it means nothing.
So what are you talking about?
What do you mean here?
It really doesn't do very much for me.
I want, I want, they should be rolling out the red carpet for me.
Because you find Delta.
Maybe I care too much.
about this because I fly every single weekend for comedy but I mean I get that but part of me is like
first time dealing with the airlines not giving you shit for all the fucking shit the money you give
them it's like I feel like it's everywhere too like I see this complaint constantly too because like
I think there's so many credit cards now that like offer lounge access that yeah like the people
who like I think complaints all the time that they're like you can't even get into a lounge
anymore I'm like I don't know bro I show up fucking three minutes before the flight takes off I'm sure
sure but it's it's a certain type of complaint you you know what i've learned is like the more you
travel it i think it's that traveling is like definitionally an experience that's out of your
control so different people react to that different ways but the way that i react to that is i try
to like optimize little things to make it feel like i have control so i like go to a hotel and
i'm like i want to get the upgrade and i go to like the flight and i'm like i want to get the
upgrade it's mostly upgrade really yeah yeah yeah but it's
not even really, you know.
Sir, if we just told you we gave you an upgrade, would you stop talking to us?
Do they ever give you that one?
Yeah, I bet I would stop talking.

answers?
And what is this?
How is that not a story we all know?
What's this?
Where is that?
Why is it wet?
Boy, do we have a show for you?
From Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players comes Crimeless.
Join me, Josh Dean, investigative journalists.
And me, Roy Scoville.
as we celebrate the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals.
We'll look into some of the silliest ways folks have broken the laws.
Honestly, it feels more like a high-level prank than a crime.
Who catfishes a city?
And meets some memorable anti-heroes.
There are thousands of angry, horny monkeys.
Clap if you think she's a witch, and it freaks you out.
He has X-ray vision. How could I not follow him?
Honestly, I got to follow him. He can see right through me.
Listen to Crimless on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
What were some of the memories from your U.S.O. tours?
Nobody knew who I was, and they were like, why do we have to say hello to this guy?
Recently on the Good Stuff podcast, we sat down with our friend Bradley Cooper to talk about family.
What is the good stuff to you?
I mean, of course it's my daughter.
His deep friendship with host Jacob.
He was there when I found out that I was going to have a baby, which was incredible.
I remember that
You showed me the picture
You're like, what's that mean?
And I was like, oh my God
Did you ever tell the clinician story on this?
Which one?
Well, they're the handcuffed.
Oh, dude.
And how they've been there for each other
Through the hard times.
You know, I've been lucky enough to have dealt with some issues
early on, you know, relatively early on in my life
And I was able to sort of walk Jacob through some stuff.
Yeah, next month I'll be eight years clean and sober.
You were a big time part of that.
I leaned on you real head.
I think times that you knew and times you didn't know.
Listen to the Good Stuff Podcasts on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
We're back.
All right.
Real quick checking.
We talked on yesterday's trending about how Donald Trump spent an entire night tweeting.
Just reposting shit posts on truth social.
Yeah.
Post. True thing, shit posts on true social, like, it's six in the morning. Finish it up with like, this is the best social media rules. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But just, I'm starting to suspect their habit of staging all his media statements next to a roaring jet engine is intentional because the shit he's saying every time is just the most clear evidence of his brain melting.
Yeah, yeah. Just a real quick hit here of them.
asking him if he had a phone call
with Maduro and his response
is I don't want to comment on it
the answer is yes in the same breath
yeah
I don't want to comment on it the answer is yes
it's pretty good
you couldn't
really do much better than that
if you were intentionally being funny
yeah I don't want to comment on it
the answer is yes
I mean just to contradict yourself
so quickly is I mean it is a brilliant bit of irony that like a comedic writer would
write to be like yeah this is how you'd construct this joke I don't want to comment on it the
answer is yes yeah I did I did it didn't go well didn't go well at all it makes me sick to
my stomach that this is a Trump bashing podcast but um yeah you guys this is really
fucked up yeah yeah I didn't realize you guys you guys lived me into a into a trap door here
Trump derangement syndrome yeah yeah yeah it's it abounds it abounds it abounds
now that guy's insane you saw he asked jacky chan for a rush hour four
yeah yep yeah we're gonna get chris tucker back for the remake it's not gonna be hard to do
no no no i i think but we were we were basically saying that it's probably because brett ratner
was directing the milania trump documentary that they're like hey we're gonna put aside your all
the sexual assault allegations and get you back to making rush hour films because you did
us a solid making this like propaganda documentary about milania but i don't know we'll see
He can't stop, like he's, you know, some people suspect he might be distracting from the Epstein, you know, the impending drop of Epstein documents. And he's like, I know what I'll do. I'll put the focus on me going into business with Brett Ratner and Chris Tucker, who was on the flight locks. But all right, we should talk about this Oklahoma College essay controversy. It matters so much.
Oh, fun fact about this before we get into this.
I was at one point in a college essay tutor in New York City.
Oh, hell yeah.
Oh, this is, we have the perfect person.
Oh, like writing your entrance admission essay?
Yeah, so I don't, was this, is this on a standardized test or is this for admissions?
This was part of a class, like she's a junior.
Like a sociology class.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, got it.
I was an admission.
essay writing tutor, which basically meant I was, it was for like rich New York City kids.
I got paid like an ungodly amount of money to do this.
And basically what I would do is like, it was it was during the time that, you know,
there was a real like, it was kind of like, I would say the height of the what people are
now calling the woke movement.
But at the time it was just very focused on like white people had to talk about like how
sorry they were about slavery, for example, in a college essay or something.
like it was like play a trauma or something and so i would coach white people on how to be like
liberal enough but not like overdo it with their guilt yeah i remember this one this one kid
he wrote in the same um it was like multiple it was like uh short answer questions and it was like
what's your favorite activity and he wrote sailing and then the next question was what's your
favorite book, and he wrote Tony Morrison's beloved. And I was like, yeah, man, you can't go from
sailing to Tony Morrison. You got to take one of those two out. Okay, okay, okay. But I love sailing.
Learned a lot about sailing from Tony Morrison. Yeah, yeah. The stream of consciousness writing
style really landed itself to according to what it's like to be sailing. You could either be the sailor
or you could be the white guy that loves beloved, but you can't be both. Sorry, man. Yeah. In consecutive
answers. So I think it's safe to say we've entered a new era where this person has already had this
essay published by Turning Point, just as a little bit of background. So Turning Point thought this was
fucking sick, but it was awarded zero out of 25 on an essay where she was supposed to be discussing
the use of gender norms in society. And her essay was essentially on how God made men and women
different on purpose. First, I'm going to read her statement, defending her essay,
which is probably not the one I would have gone with, probably because you can correct me
if you think otherwise. Syntax and such. Yes. So this is her trying to prove her kind
of erudition and that she should have been recognized for her ability to write and explain
herself. Quote, to be what I think is clearly discriminated against for my beliefs and using
freedom of speech, and especially for my religious beliefs, I think that's just absurd.
To be what I think is clearly discriminated against for my beliefs. But that's, you know,
that's maybe off the cuff. We don't know if she like sat down and wrote that statement.
Run on sentence. Also starting a sentence with to be as though your Shakespeare is wild.
To be what I think is. To be what I think is. Oh, do you now? Yeah. We don't know how she said it.
She might have said it like, to be what I think is. Like she just that's,
That was all the one word.
Maybe she wrote it as one word.
And they're like, I'm sorry, are you saying to be what I think is?
To be what I think is.
Those words have just never really being used together in a straight line before.
To be what I think is discriminated against.
Wait, but to be what I think is clearly.
You think it's clearly?
You know it's clearly.
But again, you know, maybe just think on that.
So I want to get into her essay.
I'm curious to get your thoughts on this one.
So the article discussed peer,
this is her writing,
the article discussed peers using teasing
as a way to enforce gender norms.
I do not necessarily see this as a problem.
God made male and female
and made us different from each other
on purpose and for a purpose.
Differently.
She was using an adverb there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
God made male and female
and made us differently from each other
on purpose and for a purpose.
Sorry, I came that up for by that.
Yeah, yeah.
She's usually a stupid person trait to use the adjective when you should use the adverb.
She did it.
She kind of switched it up on us.
She said, I'm going to use an advert where you actually should have an adjective.
She's an artist.
She's an artist, I think, is what we're learning.
She's just fucking jazzing off the dome.
This is freestyle all over again.
All right.
Continue, sorry.
God is very intentional with what he makes, and I believe trying to change that would only do more harm.
Gender roles and tendencies should not be considered, quote, stereotypes.
Women naturally want to do.
womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts.
The same goes for men.
God created men in the image of his courage and strength, and he created women in the image
of his beauty.
He intentionally created women differently than men, and we should live our lives with that
in mind.
What the fuck?
I'm sorry, what is the assignment?
So this is a reaction essay to a scientific paper about the empirical effects of
pressuring people to fulfill traditional gender norms.
So they had to read a scientific paper.
Yes.
About empirically, yeah, yeah, about actual research and then respond.
Okay.
There is no way that this teacher didn't start reading this essay without going,
oh, she's like the crazy God one.
I know this is going to be bad.
Yeah, yeah.
This professor already knows all about this girl.
She raises her hand all the time.
They're talking about fucking dissecting a frog.
She's raising her hand talking about what God.
God wants with the frog.
Right.
Like, by the time this teacher's opening this paper, they're already predisposed to get this thing.
They're out of front of five.
They've just been pushed to the fucking edge.
Or he got all his friends together.
Like, bro, I'm about to read this dumb fucking essay if you want to see this shit.
Yeah.
So it was a TA doing the grading.
And the TA is now currently on administrative leave while an investigation is conducted.
And again, this person's essay was then printed by Turning Point USA, who was like, look at what
they're doing to us.
Look at how they massacred my boy.
Exactly.
Zero out of 25, can we all agree, is harsh because she wrote the essay.
And say what you will about this essay, chat GPT did not write that.
Yeah, no, that's true.
That came from inside her head.
No thing created that on her behalf.
I mean, God created that in the image of women as a perfect helper.
Yeah.
So the T.A. responded not in the way that I think maybe, like, I would have, you know, quoting Billy Madison and just being like, you were awarded no points and may God have mercy on your soul. The response was like pretty well reasoned out. They wrote, please note that I'm not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead, to Lucas's point that, like, she knows that this is going to be a thing, you know? The T.A. knows, like, this motherfucker.
has been, like, ignoring science.
Doing this shit, ruining class, the whole thing.
So there are, please note, I'm not deducting points because you have certain beliefs,
but instead I'm deducting points for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer
the questions for this assignment contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over
empirical evidence in a scientific class.
I encourage all students to question or challenge the course material with other empirical
findings or testable hypotheses, but using your own personal beliefs to argue against
the findings of not only this article, but the findings of countless articles across psychology, biology, sociology is not best practice. And then further on, additionally, to call an entire group of people demonic is highly offensive, which I did skip over, but I do just want to read from that portion of the essay. I do think men and women are pressured to be more masculine or feminine. I strongly disagree with the idea from the article that encouraging acceptance of diverse gender expressions could improve
students confidence. Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be
whatever they want to be is so demonic and severely harms American youth. So that's, sorry,
she said, I do not think men and women are pressured to be more masculine or feminine and then
said that to not pressure them is demonic. They're not pressured, but if you don't pressure
them, that's demonic. That's actually kind of demonic. So I do think there's a slight contradiction
at the heart of our argument.
Zero is, yeah, I don't know.
Zero definitely feels like is coming from a place of this motherfucker again.
Really did this shit in a science class.
Administrative leave is wild for the TA.
Given that the TA, the TA was like,
I know what you're going to think this zero is about,
and I'm just telling you it's because your paper was really bad,
and it's not about the fact that you're so Christian.
And then obviously that woman read it and was like,
No, it's definitely about the fact that I'm so Christian.
Yeah, right.
She probably, like, the TA probably, like, ran their notes on the paper through, like, a lawyer.
Because, like, it seems like they were just, like, just so you're aware,
and I know you're going to probably try and sue me over this.
Like, these are the reasons.
Right, right.
As a Jew, and I feel like I'm going to have to really jump in when we talk about the war on Christmas next.
Yeah.
Because you're waging it, right?
I'm waging it.
Yeah, that's the person who came up with crucifying Jesus
and then subsequently not celebrating his birthday or whatever the fun of Christmas is.
I'm not sure.
But let me tell you this.
Being that Christian or generally that religious, it's just a bummer.
Yeah.
It's just a bummer for everyone around you.
It's just, there's really no better way to put it.
when people are trying to do class and you're talking about the lord it's a bummer yeah yeah yeah it's
you know what i mean yeah and it's i mean like this is what happens though when these people just shun
actually learning shit because like they don't want to understand how any system of oppression
coercion like works as a means to like avoid any introspection so then they're just left with
like pseudo intellectual drivel that's like laden with bible vibes to be like well i'm actually
going to avoid the question by just Christian
vibing my answer to you
and assuming that if you disagree with
that, you're negating my entire worldview and therefore
there's no point to even talk about what you're trying to talk about
because I'm answering with my Christianity.
Because God said so. Yeah, this
science shit is dumb. Let me tell you how
my ignorant family talks about gender roles.
They think they are good and from God. So don't
disagree with my mima.
They, uh, yeah, this is, I mean,
there's that a
publicatory episode about Riley
Gaines and how like,
You know, emphasizing the fact that she lost to a trans swimmer and like she started getting paid like $100,000 just to like show up somewhere and like receive an award for like being a victim of woke.
And like I just feel like everybody knows that now.
And now there's this like woke attacked me industrial complex.
Right.
Everybody's trying to hop in.
Fact.
You know.
Fact.
Easy.
All right.
Well, let's take a quick break because we have we have another one.
who's probably going to do that next week in the news,
the say hi-to-me hiker guy.
We'll be right back.

from season three is here. The Trey to My Charlotte. Kyle McLaughlin joins me to
relive all of the magical Trey and Charlotte moments. He revealed
what he thinks of Trey giving Charlotte a cardboard baby.
Why would I bring her a cardboard baby?
I was literally, I was like, this doesn't track for me at all.
When he found out Trey's shortcomings...
I'm kind of excited at talking about, you know, I think he's a guy spends time in Central Park.
You know, he's probably, you know, he'll be some surgery stuff, you know,
and I was like all this kind of stuff going on, and they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine.
And they said, but he's impotent.
And I was like, he's impotent.
And why he chose not to return to it just like that.
They came and presented an idea, and I was like, I get, I see it.

You were a big time part of that.
I leaned on you real heavy.
I think times that you knew and times you didn't know.
Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the Iheart radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
We're back.
And this is just a quick one.
Just a quick one.
The vibes are very...
unnerving, I would say, on this one.
This is just a guy who posted on TikTok being like, uh, ladies.
PSA.
Just we'll let him explain it.
Just so you know, the setting is him in the middle of wilderness, the wilderness, okay?
And he's about to hit the ladies, uh, with some commentary here.
Public service announcement, if you're going to pass a single guy on a trail and you're a girl.
And he says, hi.
Maybe you say hi back, not just give me an awkward.
Like, come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Public service announcement.
If you see, it's like, also just starting up, if you see a single guy and you're a girl, like, what the fuck are you?
What is this scenario he's setting up?
You must say a fucking high to me in the wilderness.
Okay.
So PSA, like putting into the context of a PSA makes it sound like this is good for your own health, which also makes it sound like.
So it makes it sound like, just so you know, you don't want me to fucking snap?
I wish at the end of that, he said what he was actually thinking.
He was like, come on, I'm so fucking horny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, just like, let it out.
He's like, I have to go to the,
hi, so I can jack off to that interaction later on.
I have to go to the wilderness.
I'm so fucking horny, okay, and just walk around to blow some of the steam off.
And you can't even say hi to me.
The wild thing is, like, everyone in the comments are like,
Are you fucking for real, you dip shit?
Other people are like, dude, no one's going to fucking say hi to you with some random dude in the fucking wilderness.
You're not like, that's how horror stories start about some dude like, hey, nobody's out here.
You got no cell phone reception.
How are you?
Hey, you'd be a lot prettier if you smiled more, more, more.
Public service announcement, part two.
Just a quick clarification.
I mentioned women in my video about hiking and I get why that hit a nerve.
Safety on trails is completely valid.
I was just laughing at that awkward NPC freeze moment when you say hi.
No pressure to say back.
Do whatever feels safe to you.
I was just out there enjoying nature, touching grass, and just laughing at the awkward encounter.
That's it.
Wow.
He sounds Canadian, dude.
You don't typically see that out of a Canadian.
Typically Canadians are a lot cooler.
Yeah, we're slowly poisoning them, unfortunately.
It's seeping in more and more and more.
But Canadian in cell, that's crazy, dude.
I'm actually not an intel.
I was actually just, I just love nature and I just think like women should be hornyer for me in nature.
I am owed, I'm owed acknowledgement, okay?
Now, let me get back to his all of his contents like him just like lifting weights and like flexing in his fucking his camera.
PSA, if a guy's hiking by you jerking his dick off about to come, maybe stop and finish him off.
yeah what the hell also like instead of awkwardly walking by like yeah yeah this is you oh stop that
it's like embarrassing for i love just be like i'm sorry i'm just saying like women are like mpc dude
that's what i'm like exactly guys i'm a feminist i was just laughing at this fucking mpc bitch
who didn't say hi back to me when she walked by when we were the only two people within miles and
I was clearly like gritting my teeth
with horniness. Oh my God.
Yeah. He's like posting other stuff about like
testosterone. This guy's page is a mess.
Yeah, he was like, sorry I was touching
grass. Yeah.
Oh, I guess you hate nature?
Is that what it is? You fucking hate nature?
Okay, didn't know that.
Okay, cool guys. All right. And then finally
the war on Christmas is back. Right on time.
Right on time. Thank God.
Thank you.
This time the target's Portland,
which everyone's like, they're going to invade Venezuela.
I think they're going to invade Portland.
They want to fucking kill everybody in Portland.
They fucking hate Portland.
But they've made up a story where Portland this year for the first time ever
has started calling their Christmas tree just the tree in their Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
And the New York Post is claiming that this is like, you know,
because they're avoiding mentioning Christmas at any point during their
what is clearly supposed to be a Christmas ceremony.
Actually, at the event, there were musicians singing Carol the Bells.
Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is you and fucking Santa Claus showed up.
But they, you know, Fox News needs to do something besides talk about like what's actually happening on.
Right, right, right.
Can't talk about prices not coming down or like.
Like, you know, a war crime boat strikes or none of that stuff.
It's like, oh, dude, I can't believe they didn't call the tree a Christmas tree, but Santa was there.
Yeah.
And they did acknowledge the birth of Christ.
So, you know, at least they did that.
They claimed that Christmas had been erased by the events pro-Palestinian participants.
So they just, like, found somebody who was pro-Palestine in the crowd was like it's.
They did this.
If I had to guess, if I had to guess who was behind this.
It's this guy.
Right.
but the actual origin story of this is actually
because they didn't want to put a menorah up
in downtown Portland and so they were like
fine fuck it it's not a Christmas tree it's just a holiday tree
or whatever I don't know we didn't have the budget to do the Jews thing
right exactly they didn't even do that they didn't even say that they're just like well
it's not like fine like whatever then if it's just a tree then it's not for Christians
therefore you don't need a menorah it's a holiday book
I told James that there's a Christmas tree in Jameson Square, to which he replied,
no, actually, it's a holiday tree, to which I replied, it's got presents under it.
I know what a Christmas tree looks like.
I told James, I guess you could call the menorah a candle holder if you want, but it's still
a menorah and a Christmas tree is still a Christmas tree.
So the origin of this practice is the exact opposite.
It's them just like not wanting to have a more culturally diverse holiday celebration and just be like,
No, it's not Christmas tree.
That's actually not Santa Claus, okay?
That's some dude named Nick.
Yeah, yeah.
That's just my boy, Nick, dude.
The guy with the white beard in the red suit?
Yeah, I think he's Jewish.
Yeah, I'm pretty Jewish Christian.
Nick, you Jewish?
Yeah, dude, that guy's Jewish, so I don't know what you guys are talking about.
One of the guys on the show said, it's a Christmas tree.
It's always been a Christmas tree, and it will always be a Christmas tree on Fox News.
Christ.
Which this is, you know, three seconds of Googling shows that this is one of the most obviously appropriated from, you know, Romans and ancient Egyptians and, like, druids and Celts.
Like, it's the oldest tradition that has never had anything.
Having a tree, dude, in the winter in your house?
Yeah.
It's been happening for centuries.
Like, the Egyptians also did shit like this?
I don't know.
Wait, they did?
Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
they did it's all about that pagan takeover that pagan rebrand they had to do they're like uh this is actually
christianity all this shit you guys are doing was actually christianity the whole time i wonder if that was
like a single year where they were just like uh we're gonna take all of that actually if that's cool
right right yeah like exactly okay we'll put a holiday there that can be the birth of that kid
and then this part yeah yeah okay yeah we'll take and then the PSA guy comes along and it's like
if i'm walking under this thing you have to fucking kiss me yeah you have to fucking kiss me that's
That's what Jesus said.
That's what Jesus said, dude.
A public service announcement, when I'm walking under this shit, you have to make out with me.
Yeah.
If I'm a single guy and there's a tree nearby, then I'm just touching grass.
Yeah.
But also you have to kiss.
Yeah.
Instantly.
All good.
If you're telling me I can't bust, I'm probably going to say, come on.
Come on.
Get real.
I was just touching grass, talking about these NPC bitchy.
NPCs won't even jerk you off anymore.
It's crazy.
Have you seen these people?
All right, Lucas, great having you.
Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff?
Lucaselnick on all social platforms,
Lucaselnik.com for all of my tournades.
Best thing you can do to support a stand-up comedian
is come see me live.
And yeah, that's pretty much it.
And do it.
We will have, you can also follow Lucas on socials
to see if Jimmy Goldstein ever gets back to him.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We'll get to the bottom of that one.
Let me check my notifications.
Still no word from the king.
Still no word.
Ouch.
Yeah.
You'll get there.
Is there for an unfollow, but, uh,
no, you'll get there.
You'll get there, man.
Trust the process.
Is there a work of social media that you've been enjoying?
Media or otherwise?
This got related to me as any type of media.
Can I give you a song that I've,
been listening to a lot, please.
Okay, I'm sure
a lot of you guys have already heard this, but
it's called Right Back to
it by Waxahatchy.
I believe that's the correct pronunciation,
and M.J. Lenderman. M.J. Lenderman,
obviously, the darling
of the indie rock scene
right now. Waxahatchee
and MJ are going on tour together,
and I'm going to see them at the Beacon Theater in
New York on April 20th. I don't know why I'm
promoting their show, but the point is
I really like the music. I
like both of those artists independently. I think it's really cool that artists are like going out
and co-headlining and forming. These indie rockers, they'll like, they'll do a solo thing. Then
they'll, like, do a band with a couple of their friends. Then they'll, like, grab one friend from the
band and do a tour with them. Right. I like that. That's cool. I wish comedians could do that,
but we just don't really do that kind of shit. So I always respect when I see that pop up. But that
that song's been on repeat in my years. So if you haven't heard to check it out. Yeah. That's a good. I feel
like the team ups is like indie rock managers being like okay look you got to become the avengers
yeah yeah of indie rock yeah this is what the people demand now when you're just being like okay so
i know a lot of people are listening to the music but you guys are still poor for some reason and i also know
that's part of your aesthetic but if we can do anything to change that that would yeah that would help me dude
that help me because i'm i kind of hear scraps i don't have to wear skinny jeans and smoke cigarettes i'm
I'm a manager.
So if you could just help me get rich, that would be great.
And then you could do whatever.
You could stay poor.
I'll take your money if you want.
I got two kids, man.
Like, but we got to do something.
Actually doesn't matter to me at all.
Miles, where can people find you?
Is there working media?
You've been enjoying.
Yeah, find me everywhere at Miles of Gray.
I'm talking about 90-day fiancé on 420-day fiancé
and talking about football in it on Ain't It Footy with Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin.
Let's see.
A work in media.
Yeah, like, so, dude, Trump is having another one of those roundtable, like, fluff sessions or everyone goes around.
I was like, oh, my God, sir, you're so fucking, like, you're the shit, dog.
Like, thank you so much of everything.
This is Christy Noam hitting him with a, thank God for killing the people in the boats who you have no proof for narco-terrorists or whatever.
But this fucking line is just absurd.
You've saved hundreds of millions of lives with the cocaine.
You've blown up in the Caribbean.
What does she think cocaine?
is.
I don't know, man.
Because their short hand is like, there's fentanyl in the in the coke now and people are dying.
But then all coke is a weapon of mass destruction.
And it's the new yellow cake.
And you've saved hundreds of millions of lives.
Hundreds of millions of lives.
God damn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at it.
That was some bad cocaine in those boats.
Yeah.
