How are you? I'm doing very well. Thank you very much for asking. It's a rainy day. It is. And, you know, we needed one. And as you can see by my garb, I do lean in hard to a rainy day. You are bundled up.

I was like, you definitely need a local. You look like you just... It's a rain. You got the beanie on, like a winter coat. You look like you just skied down the mountain into our studios. I'm a cozy ass bitch. I like that. Did you brand that?

You should trademark that. Okay. Cozy ass bitch. I'm really known as a very cozy girl. Should I reintroduce you as a cozy ass bitch and hilarious comedian, Blair Saki? Sure, yeah. We're going to get to know you a little bit better but first we're going to tell our listeners some of the things we're talking about today.

We're going to do a long overdue update on Benghazi. We are going to talk about Michael Cohen and just what he's, he has taken the advice we've been giving everyone for a long time

and he has stopped snitching or stopped stopped lying, I guess, more accurately. Started snitching. Start snitching, stop lying. Roger Stone also might be in some hot water. And then, after all this serious talk, we're going to talk about how that cow's fucking huge, man. That cow's fucking huge. What the fuck is wrong with that thing? Fucking huge, man.

That cow is fucking huge. What the fuck is wrong with that thing? John Kaczynski worked out naked in The Rock's gym, but that's actually not the interesting part of the story. The interesting part is that The Rock's workout equipment is apparently from the future. Okay. Yeah. And we're going to talk about Hostess Cakes launching cereals. That no one asked for.

Diabetes with milk. And we're also going to talk about, okay, Steph Curry, we get it. You're the best. You're such a good guy. No, he's just a really good guy. And we're going to compliment him on it. But first, Blair, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Well, first, it was like a porn. And then i was like i can't say that because a family member listens to this okay but the next one was a little peak and that's because also a porn no um but that's because i wanted to write that and i wasn't sure which peak it was so i had to double check because I'm not trying to embarrass myself out here. Okay, a little peak being a like small mountain peak that you can climb? No, like a sneak peak so

I had to double check spelling before I laid it all out there on social media. Yeah, and then they're like she can't even spell right. Yeah. What were you trying to do? Just checking the grammar. Yeah, I wanted to check the spelling. Got it.

So I know that was a mind-blowing Google search. That is. What kind of porn were you looking at? Oh, no, sorry. We're worried about your parents listening. We don't want to ruin your image. Thank you. Sorry, Mom.

What is something you think is overrated? Oh, I picked two, which is funny that you brought up Steph Curry, but first is Triscuits. Really not a good cracker. A lot of people vehemently defend them, but they taste like fucking straw. And if I wanted to eat straw,

I would go blow a fucking tumbleweed. So they're really not good. Wheat thins are better. I like to cause a lot of division with this, but it's true and it needs to be heard. Have you had the Triscuits with the rosemary? And those are actually not that bad.

I mean, they're slightly improved, and then everyone's argument is always like, oh, yeah, you know, you melt a little pepper jack on there. And I'm like... Everyone's argument. Yeah, and I'm like, oh, yeah, you melt a little pepper jack on there. And I'm like, no, bitch. How about you have enough self-esteem and find a standalone quality cracker? So I feel strongly about that. Yeah, it seems like it. Oh, and then the other one was dating NBA players.

I think that's overrated and we should enact a pussy ban for them. Oh, NBA players, I think that's overrated and we should enact a pussy ban for them. Oh, NBA players. Yeah, except for Steph Curry. Okay. Oh, except for Steph Curry, okay. But he can only fuck his wife because I like to uphold the sacrament of marriage. I feel strongly about it. Okay, that is good.

Wait, so what happened with NBA players that you came to this moment? Look, i haven't banged any of them personally but on behalf of other women who i am sure have had their feelings hurt i will think that we should not continue falling into this i am upset for chloe with tristan thompson i think you know the night before her labor I mean Wow so wait is that when it happened one of the times yeah but I think we should all as women start fucking like accountants instead accountants out there. Somebody has to deal with the numbers. Yeah, I guess.

I guess there are some good accountants out there. It's like gang accountants. Reach out to us, shame me, let me know. Is there like a hot accountant's IG account? Right, like an accounting firm that is all really cool dudes. Accounting firm, my guy. With the morals of Steph Curry.

Yes. And the mouth guards. Yeah, so we're just asking for a dream man. Yeah. Reach out to me. You can find me on the internet. Balance my account and your jump shot is wetty? Wow.

What is something you think is underrated besides accountants? First thing that comes to mind is my feet. I really have gorgeous, gorgeous feet that a lot of people probably would like to see in their lives, but don't know about. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm sure. I hate when my personality overshadows my gorgeous feet. I mean, did you wear sandals today?

No, I didn't. I actually wore socks with an insulated boot for the weather. Yeah, there you go. Are you all wicky feet? I am, yeah. You are? Someone told me I was, and then I was like, who the fuck went through all my pictures and cropped my feet?

Wow. You'd be surprised. People are out here really looking for that foot tent. Yeah, it's really weird. Yeah. You were saying before that you are friends with one Lil Zam, a.k.a. Jamie Loftus. Oh, yeah. We're friends through comedy.

I don't know her super well, but we're fans of each other. Her feet have also come up, and she's a fan of her own feet. Oh, really? Yes. I know she has that show, but I don't know what the angle was there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You got four stars on WikiFeet. Woo!

Four out of what? Out of five. Dude, fuck that noise. Yeah, you're on nice. You're not quite in the beautiful category. Well, maybe they need to look a little closer. Okay. Well, whatever the mystery was about how you ended up there, now you are about to be a

very hot item on WikiFeed, I would imagine. I also think that Hawaiian pizza is underrated. Oh, okay. Really? That's interesting. Yeah. Okay. I feel like people think really love Hawaiian pizza.

They really love it. Well, it's polarizing. Yeah. I do, you know, like to strike a match in some of these very political conversations. Yeah, for sure. But I love a Hawaiian pizza. I mean, whoever came up with that extremely unlikely combo, well done. Uh-huh.

Well, shout out to them. I hope it was someone from Hawaii. Right. And not to someone being like, hey, man, pineapple on a fucking Hawaii, dude. Yeah, it's from Hawaii. Right. It's like the least creative ignorant chef. I do feel like there's like the culinary world is coming around on like pizza with spicy

meats or like with meats and honey on them and shit. So like people who are on the Hawaiian pizza wave. But that's hot and sweet. This is just sweet and salty. Yeah. I'm not a huge pineapple guy. It's meat and sweet. Yeah.

Meat and sweet. Once a month, I like to order a large Hawaiian pizza, lock myself in my apartment, close the shades, and just eat it throughout the day. Fantastic. Where do you prefer your Hawaiian pizza to be from? Where do you get it from? Oh, I don't even know since I moved here. It just appears? It's just kind of been from anywhere on Postmates.

I can't even remember the name. I wouldn't say I've found any sort of incredible source here. I'm a pizza connoisseur, but this is like shitty good pizza. Yeah. I've actually lived here for a while. I have to recommend this place, Domino's. Oh, thank you. Their thin crust is good.

Whoa, cool. Little hole in the wall place. Oh, good. Wait, where is the best Hawaiian pizza in your estimation? I don't know. Oh, you just eat it all and you're like, fuck it. It's good or bad. Yeah, because I just moved here from New York in January,

and I really know all the New York spots hard. But here, I don't know at all. I don't know any pizza here. I actually need to find out. Okay, if you want the most gourmet shit top shelf, that's Pizzana. Okay? Right. Brentwood.

Oh, really? Wait, Brentwood? Brentwood? Okay, shout out to James over there. Also, Prime Pizza on Fairfax is also okay. You don't like Prime? Go on. Just doesn't like Prime numbers.

Yeah, we're just talking. I'm not here to, I'm not like, I'm not doing an ad for them. Well, I don't know. I don't want to hurt anyone. I have a good heart. Well, you already said the Triscuit thing. It's too late. Yeah, but I don't know if anyone from Prime is listening.

I think you're a good establishment and you're good people. Okay. Whoa. They make good t-shirts. Off mic. You just don't like it.

Well, I mean, the thing is, I was going to ask you what your favorite pizza is in New York and we can talk about that off mic, but I'm curious.

I bet we have totally different tastes because I have never once ordered a piece of Hawaiian pizza in New York. Can I be straight with you? I don't eat Hawaiian pizza outside of the delivered to my apartment.

When I'm out in the world, I have a completely different order. Oh, so this is your private shame. Yeah. Private thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, got you. I feel that. All right.

And finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? I was really racking my brain for this, and then I decided beer before liquor, never been sicker is not true. Yeah. Beer before liquor, never been sick. Oh, right. If you end the night with licks after you've been having some bruise, that it will make you super twisted in your stomach.

Yeah. Right. I mean, isn't just mixing all kinds of- Beer before beer, never fear. Is that true? Does that hold still? Yeah. No, I don't think so. Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, never fear. Is that true? Does that hold still? Yeah. No, I don't think so.

Beer before liquor, never cigarette. Liquor before beer, never fear. I don't know. Never fear what? I never threw up enough. I should have thrown up more because I would always poison myself because I would drink too much and then my stomach wouldn't reject it. So I never really got any of that stuff.

Wait, so you're saying if it is never sicker, you're saying go for it, because ain't shit gonna happen. Yeah, I mean, I have to say that I also don't do shots. You know? It doesn't... You can't be cozy and do shots. But, yeah, so I think that might just be for the shots people.

You just drink a whole fifth real slowly? It's just... I'm not a monster. Just in a wine glass. real slowly. I'm not a monster. Just in a wine glass. I move at my own pace. Yeah, but I drink about a fifth of Hennessy every night. I'm just not doing shots like a maniac. Cozy is,

what's the country that cozy is like a really big deal? Denmark. Denmark. Hoogie or Hoogie. I'm just watching it. The whole culture is built around the idea of being cozy and shifting. The culture is around being cozy, especially during the winter, eating good food, having warmth, having friends. You got to go there.

This podcast is truly illuminating. I have never heard of this. Oh, yeah. Search H-Y-G-G-E on the internet. There's books about it, and I can tell you're a cozy gang. And then God works in mysterious ways. Yeah. Here I am finding this out.

And I just found this ticket to Denweiser. And, you know, a lot of people, I have to say, a lot of people will come in here, guests on the Daily Zeitgeist, and claim to be cozy, but you actually come off as so cozy. Wait till y'all see this picture. Oh, my goodness. One of the coziest seeming and conveying human beings I've ever met.

I just try to be real. Stay on brand. Stay on brand. All right, guys. Let's check in with Men God. It's been a while. Not because nothing's been happening. So we wanted to check in with one Leslie Moonves

because it's really starting to get to Weinstein levels with this dude. He's just basically sexually assaulting women non-stop and just being like i'll cast you on a cbs show if like as a that seems to be his consolation yeah because we're just now finding out from women who are like yeah and then i quit because that was the worst thing that's ever happened to me so i quit acting uh but wasn't before like it was he was trying to act like it was like a couple things and he didn't really remember shit. And it was consensual. And that's what he's saying about this young woman who at the time was, I think, in her early 20s in 1992.

She was up and coming and got a meeting with him. She didn't know he was like this big, powerful guy. know he was like this big powerful guy and he i mean the quote is he said be my girlfriend and i'll put you on any show then he grabbed her by the neck pushed her to her knees and forced his penis into her mouth uh and then the other awesome quote from him is because he's worried about his 120 million dollar payout from CBS. Like they fired him, but he has it in his contract that he gets $120 million. And he said, I think I'll be okay.

But if Bobby talks, I'm done. And Bobby is the woman who he's talking about there. wait, when did he, who did he say that to? To Bobby's manager, who he was trying to work with.

To keep it on the low? It exposes this whole weird system where managers and agents work with the predators. Because they all get a check too. Right.

If you're an agent or whatever and they're on a show. For you it behooves the management. I was like, they get a mouth shot check? Right. So this manager was like, he knew that something went on, and he knew that Moonves knew that. So even though this actress was not trying to get any roles and wasn't getting anything.

Moonves was basically paying this guy off by giving his other clients work. And he specifically at one point in the article says, come on, man, we got to make you some money. Wow. So he's just, yeah. Also, but is his exit package of $120 million, is that still up in the air? It's still up in the air. Because CBS has to, well well at the time they're like we're gonna do our own investigation quote unquote or whatever yeah uh yo don't fucking pay

this man a fucking cent right like who is going to possibly blame you for not paying him anything and and also do they name this manager whatever who's been out here? He named himself. He apparently, like, he's old and seems like he's sort of a not all there type guy. Oh. Like, an elderly dude. He mainly represents, like, daytime TV actors and actresses. Right. But the story's weird because it, like, has all these details about this dude, like,

went to the spam museum when he was on vacation and bought a T-shirt for like Les Moonves and his kid and like brought it back to them like hey here I got you something just like he was like trying to get in Les Moonves orbit for so long. What a creepy fucking gift. Yeah exactly

but yeah it's just an all around creepy problematic relationship that once again just proves why Hollywood is the grossest town in the world and uh just talking about what you were saying with the cbs internal investigation so tom brokaw apparently has some shit in his closet there is a mbc uh journalist who uh claims that he sexually harassed her and she is coming out and basically asking Comcast, the parent company of NBC,

to conduct an investigation with their own outside counsel rather than leaving it up to NBC to investigate itself. Why would they do that? Right. Jesus. She just, in her statements, is making tons of sense. Right. Everyone should be forced to have external investigation because if it's your company,

how are you incentivized to find like terrific acts of terror? Right. You know? Well, especially when you have stuff like in CBS's case, they're like, well, look, if we can find a way, like, you know, they're looking at a $120 million package. How do they balance that? Do they pay him? Do they not?

You'd think in the CBS case, it would behoove them to be like, well, we're not going to pay you because we don't want to pay that money out. Or but even then just to have it's like anything we've seen over the last all the time. Right. That, yeah, these companies that are doing the or have employees that are doing bullshit they just do their own investigation sort of obscure things to you know and they're like wow i didn't see anything yeah all right oh i guess this guy will keep working yeah so all right well have a good weekend i don't get also like do they have to pay like why would you have to pay a fucking horrible predator 120 million dollars why do you have to pay a fucking horrible predator $120 million? Why do you have to pay a criminal?

Because he has very good lawyers, I'm sure. Yeah, and they write these contracts that are just sort of like, even in the event of criminal behavior, it's like, there's this agreement. Before any of this shit comes out, he's got negotiations, and he's probably negotiating about stuff like if i get fired for cause and i won't trust me but let's just say a thing or two comes out then let's just have it in there that i still get that 120 large right yeah and he's like and also i did kill two people but um with my dick yeah i apologize that's gotta be worth something. Right.

He also did this, a very similar thing to a medical student at UCLA who was like doing a physical exam on him. He like sexually assaulted her while she was supposed to be just getting a regular physical exam. And she eventually came out. She was one of the first whistleblowers. Oh, right. And UCLA was trying to be like, yeah, you're not. Yeah, UCLA basically just, they were like,

he's very powerful in this town. Shout out to my alma mater. Try harder, UCLA. Me too. My wife's alma mater too. The literal medical school. Oh, really? Come on, guys.

Do better. Yeah, Jeffrey Epstein. We don't have time to talk about him, but keep an eye on that. There is a five-part series that was reported by the Miami Herald about this. So Jeffrey Epstein is a billionaire who used his money and power to run pedophile sex rings. run pedophile sex rings and you know there's they have implicated bill clinton they've implicated donald trump all sorts of like katie couric was having dinner at his house like after the accusations came out it's just this really weird thing that will make you feel terrible about any piece of media that you've ever consumed alan ders Dershowitz, who will come up in a little while,

also very, very implicated in that story, as well as people on both sides, George Stephanopoulos, Prince Andrew, Chelsea Handler was like hanging out at his house. Again, these are people- But not in the- Not in the sex club. Yeah, but just in orbit of this guy.

But they're in his orbit. They're all part of this. Well, that's not good for Alex Acosta because I think they were looking at him as a possible attorney general pick. Yeah. Yeah. He's Trump's former labor secretary and he is heavily tied up in the Jeffrey Epstein story. So anyways, well, that'll be our book club of the next couple weeks.

Read the five-part Miami Herald investigation into this dude's story and then we'll talk about it on a future episode we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back.

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.

Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Miles, what the fuck is going on?

Man. In the Trump. What a fucking week it has been in terms of the Mueller investigation and all these people who have been either pleading out or lying or not lying. Well, on Thursday, there was a development where Michael Cohen pled guilty to lying to Congress about his dealings with Russia. And he like I mean, a lot of the people who are in the courtroom and just were doing the reporting in and around it, they said he looked very different. Like his demeanor was that of a person who was very relaxed. Like prior, the dude looked like walking diarrhea when he would enter the courthouse. Yeah.

But this time they're like, he looks a little, little bit lighter, like a burden has been taking off. And they, they're probably to do with the fact that he's basically now been fully flipped by Mueller and is just telling him whatever he knows about what's been going on. And so in the beginning, I think, you know, he was telling Congress that, you know, he didn't know much about Russia and like this deal that about a Moscow tower was like, it was a big, it wasn't going anywhere. It was, it was a wash. There's no need to worry about it because it wasn't anything to begin with. Well, now we realize that there is a lot more to that that he had basically, you know, what it would have actually gone down.

And this is this plea that he's made is like the first real piece of connective tissue between Russia and Trump's camp, because before Cohen pled out to like a bunch of tax fraud and like paying people off, having to do with Trump's affairs and things like that. But this is him saying, yes, I was speaking with Putin's right hand, Dmitry Peskov, about this tower thing. And, you know, I know I said in the beginning I had stopped talking to the Russians in January of 2016, but it turns out I was talking to them up until June of 2016. And then also begins saying that also said that members of Trump's family were also aware of these interactions. Now, Barron, who are we thinking? Yeah, fucking bear. Tiffany, for sure. They're not going down the brands behind the evilest ones in this whole shit. interesting because the charge itself isn't like the biggest of all the things that Michael Cohen is facing in the like plethora, the pile of shitty behavior that he's guilty of. But what everyone is

saying, a lot of like a lot of these legal experts are saying that like, you know, that Mueller is basically laying the groundwork for really coming after other people in Trump's orbit. Because once you have Michael Cohen on wax saying, yeah, I lied about this stuff because I did in fact do X, Y, and Z. I talked to these Russian people about this thing. You have that committed. He's saying he was fully guilty. He's cooperating.

Now you can take that when you go after other people who might be co-conspirators that are involved, maybe Don Jr., maybe other people like that. And a lot of, there were a lot of reporting. There's a lot of reporting. There's a lot of reporting, I think, a month ago where Don Jr. was very nervous about what was going to happen with him in the Mueller investigation. Another thing that people were noting was the fact that this little thing is only one of the things they're sure that Cohen has been talking to Mueller about. Like, it's quite literally like the tip of the iceberg where you're just seeing this part. Yeah. And that's just step one of what's been going on.

He's been given 70 hours of very helpful testimony. Yeah. Described as 70 hours of long conversation. Michael Cohen. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. That's how many episodes.

That's 70 episodes of the Daily Zeitgeist. That's a lot. That's multiple months. That's wild, man. He has a lot to spill. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you can tell that Trump was fucking, you knew that Trump was clearly upset, disturbed by this development because he's on his way to the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Wow. Isn't that pronunciation close? It's all about that. Oh, yeah. Anyway. So before he gets on the plane, he had to just stop by the press and just take one shot at Michael Cohen, which was very telling about what might be going on in the president's mind. Go back and look at the paper that Michael Cohen wrote before he testified in the House and or Senate. It talked about his position, what he's trying to do because he's a weak person and not a very smart person,

what he's trying to do is end. And it's very simple. He's got himself a big prison sentence and he's trying to get a much lesser prison sentence by making up a story. Now, here's the thing. Even if he was right, it doesn't matter because I was allowed to do whatever I wanted during the campaign. I was running my business, a lot of different things during the campaign. So very simply, Michael Cohen is lying and he's trying to get a reduced sentence for things that have nothing to do with me. So even if he's telling the truth and the truth being a thing that I have lied about, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because I was allowed to do that anyway. I was allowed to because.

Well, when I cheated, I thought when you hung up the phone like that, we were broken up in my mind. So that's why I did that. And also, if he says the only thing he was lying about was shit on behalf of him. So how is that? He's saying he has a huge jail sentence for what he was doing for him. Right. And then he goes, well, he's weak because then he's, I'm assuming, referencing people like Paul Manafort who have just been lying to Robert Mueller in his investigation and just being like, yeah, I'll fucking bury me under the jail.

Yeah. And then because he thinks he's getting a pardon or something. He's getting a pardon. I mean, 100%. It is 100% going down. Manafort is getting away with all of this. I mean, we'll see, though, because super producer Nick Stumpf, I think we were all talking about this, about how him and Jerome Corsi's of the world, if they think Trump is going to come and save them,

when he has so many other things going on, that might not be a deal worth taking. And I think Michael Cohen, knowing Trump, was like, yo, I'm not counting on this dude for a fucking pardon. Oh, he turns on anyone. Yeah. So it's a very, very sticky situation. So the other weird thing about what Trump was saying

was he was like, listen back to what he said to Congress earlier. And he's like, that's the truth. Then Rudy Giuliani makes a statement is like, well, this motherfucker's a liar. No wonder he lied to Congress. And that's, he's rep... So they can't even get their own story straight. It's such a fucking mess, man. It stresses me out as like a kid who would lie a lot yeah as a liar this is like very stressful like when the shit starts falling apart and you're like oh y'all didn't even do it right i did the lazy version of telling your mom you're going to this person's house when you're really you know getting fucked up at some other place um so the other uh interesting thing that i will point out is i point out many interesting things as i've said like nine times already is that like everyone's

trying to i mean the white house House or like the line about this, all these meetings was about some Trump Tower Moscow deal or whatever. When that's a weird thing, like you were doing all this legwork for a deal, for a building that failed when the stakes on the other side is that Russia would want Trump to be president to change our foreign policy. It's just an odd, like the reasoning is weird. Like, was there even a Trump Moscow deal or was that coded language for something? You know what I mean? Like that it's a greater scheme because clearly our foreign policy has shifted since Trump has taken office in terms

of Russia. He can't say a bad fucking thing about putin ever he's been trying to like at every turn doing the most tepid sanctions and trying to reverse them or suggesting uh eliminating the sanctions so he's not like it trump tower russia is code for their solidarity and standing tall together right it's like oh you help me out the Western world. Right. He's like, I can help you out with whatever you,

some financial trouble or whatever. I'll make you president. You start, you know, just turning a blind eye to when I'm just committing open acts of aggression against other sovereign nations. Right. And then,

which is funny because then right after that, Trump basically canceled his meeting that he was going to have with Putin in Buenos Aires Argentina canceled the public meeting well yeah well they're not I think they're gonna have like a working lunch or something Helsinki too yeah it was Helsinki too and if and Robert Mueller did the same shit when he was about to meet with Putin the last time of dropping uh like indictment announcements maybe just to frame what all these interactions look like. He's like, oh yeah, here's another tidbit about these two. See, I told you, Mueller's framing him.

Exactly. My point exactly. Right. Going with the thing we talked about yesterday, about the right now just fully, no longer even really trying to claim that Trump is innocent and just basically being on the full bad guy wave now. The headline on Drudge this morning is,

the rat sings. They're just talking about people cooperating with an investigation like they're mobsters. Yeah. Gives Mueller 70 hours of testimony. And then they are also writing about, there's a Breitbart story about how Trump firing Mueller wouldn't be an impeachable offense.

And it's Dershowitz who's talking on Fox News. And they're basically like they've moved beyond the idea of whether any of this is true or whether their president is an actual criminal. It's just all about getting away with it. And so on Drudgeudge report and this was the top headline on breitbart it was all about how dershowitz claimed it wasn't an impeachable offense because it wasn't technically a crime he he is like but it would be to be really bad politically for him but uh maybe not not with you guys apparently i just love that it's the rat sings like it's so clear it's like we. It's like, we're the mob.

Right. And they're the police. Yes. We do fucking dark shit. But it's, you know, Trump's not really giving them any other option because everything he does now is just so clearly the behavior of a guilty person. So they just have to go with it. They're like, yeah, fuck you, copper.

I mean, remember Catch-Ass Shane? Yeah, I like how Trump is just like, even if I did do it. They're like, yeah, fuck you, caper. I mean, I'll never catch a chain. Even if I did do it. Right. It's like some, yeah, it's the most aggro bro you want to just avoid. It's like, did you key my car? I don't know, dude. And even if I did, what's the deal, dude?

Yeah. You'd cheat on my sister. Right. But, oh, the other thing, too, is Roger Stone is also making it hot for the president again because there is a Washington Post article that's talking about how often him and the then candidate Trump would, like, spend time on the phone, like, late at night from his, like, from his block number or whatever. And a lot of these calls are coincide with the time that we see from Jerome Corsi's plea agreement that he leaked

for whatever reason. That it's around the time he was courting WikiLeaks and Julian Assange for emails and things like that. So this is back during the campaign? Yeah, this is back during the campaign. And the issue with this is that Trump has always claimed, he's like, well, I never heard about WikiLeaks through Roger Stone. I don't know

anything about Roger Stone and WikiLeaks or whatever. OK. But if you start lining these pieces up, you could very well start to see. Now, there's nothing for sure. But if I'm just putting little pictures up next to each other, I'm like, well, look, he was talking to him in and around the same time. time he's emailing jerome corsi about going to send a guy to talk to julian assange and then and then finding out that there's going to be john podesta emails coming out and other just hacked shit that was going to drop it all you're like are these calls about him knowing all these things and telling trump like yo don't worry i'm gonna hook you up like i got these wiki leaks

emails it's gonna be all good and then trump goes out and says things that almost allude to the fact that he had heard something from Roger Stone. It's a mess. It is. And I love it. And I hate it. But oh, one thing though, I have another thing to add. Jerome Corsi, he was on MSNBC on Wednesday night, just out here begging for a fucking

pardon, which is another indication of how bad the situation is getting for Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi. So explain to me who Jerome Corsi is again. Jerome Corsi is a guy who's, dude, he was behind the birther shit. He's like the OG birther god with Obama's birth certificate. He is like behind the John Kerry swift boat attack ads. He's like this fucking just shit heel. I think he was like the DC bureau chief for InfoWars. He's just like one of these guys who's just, he's into this fucking just shit heel uh i think he was like the dc bureau chief for info wars he's

just like one of these guys who's just he's into fuckery he's a phd in fuckery okay and he's like one of roger stone's like and he works with jerome yeah they work together and this was like a thing where jerome like basically he was acting as a conduit another sort of person between roger stone and julian assange and then jerome corsi had another guy who was in the uk who was actually talking with them and they were just going back and forth exchanging information about all this stuff right and jerome corsi was saying like when they press him like well how did you know about john podesta's emails like if no one did contact wikileaks and he he claimed god told him he said he had a fucking divine intervention. And he just got a feeling that John Podesta emails would drop from WikiLeaks in a serialized manner.

Yeah. That's like that one quote about, I don't know, some sort of former FBI director or homicide chief. And she was like, if I learned anything about my time, it's that nobody ever thinks they're the bad guy. Right, right. That was like the most sinister bone chilling thing I've ever heard. Right. And it's true. These people don't think they're bad.

No, they don't. They're just like, they've bought their own story. Yeah, it's like, we're just trying to help the homie win. Yeah. That's their narrative. Yeah, they're like, that's my team yeah that dude who just killed his wife and daughters and uh shit in colorado doesn't think he's the bad guy so imagine trump who like has a whole media apparatus at his fingertips telling him he's not the bad guy he's never gonna believe he's the bad

guy well listen just listen to jerome corsi though on msnbc and you don't tell me that this isn't a guy trying to position himself as like a trump martyr the deal was fraudulent it required me to lie and it required me to violate various regulations and even i thought commit fraud and i won't do that i will not lie to keep myself out of jail and i realized that i could go to jail for the rest of my life. I'm 72 years old. I might die in jail. But I'm still making this decision. You think what you're doing today

increases the risk that you will be charged, be convicted, and die in jail? Yes, I do. That's some hero shit. He's talking about the Mueller investigation. He claims Mueller is trying to get him to lie. Right. Even though he's presenting Jerome Corsi with evidence of his deceptions.

Right. And saying, yo, I got you, bruh. Right. Just, you really want to die in jail for this shit? Right. And he's saying, yes, Ari Melber. I'm so down for this set. I'll die in fucking jail.

But really, and then later on he goes, he says the word fucking pardon in the interview. Like, pardon. No, he's like, pardon me. Pardon et moi. Pardon, pardon, pardon. James, pardon. I don't know what to say. But no, he like said, I'm not looking for a pardon.

And then Gary Miller was like, why the fuck are you bringing that up? We weren't talking about pardon. No, I'm just saying, if you were asking, that's not what I'm interested in because i might die in jail because i'm protecting the president uh so it's just getting getting hot um and on fox uh their their analysis of this story was that robert mull Mueller is intimidating an elderly man. Yeah, that was the fucking lower third on Tucker Carlson's show.

Yes. Like literally it said Mueller intimidates elderly man about Jerome Corsi. Wow. I mean, I know his mother team threatens elderly men. Cause I think you're talking maybe about Roger Stone too. And also Trump is over 70. Yeah. But Bob Mueller is fucking older than these dudes.

Yeah, but he's clearly got some sort of magical witch spell going on that keeps him younger. He's probably doing blood transfusion. I guess so. Hey, good luck to all y'all, man. I love Trump. He just eats McDonald's three times a day. Yeah, I know. He truly just does not give a fuck.

About anything. His body. About literally no reverence for anything. He's like a true parasite where like survival is the only, that's like the North Star constantly at any cost. Right. Because it could look like if this reporting is accurate and like the things that we believe to be true up until this point are accurate,

like his family could be going to jail over this shit. Yeah. Oh, my God. They all look so guilty and fucking weird and their smiles are so hard. Yeah. Right. I'm ready to die in jail. Ivana.

Like, who from, I honestly, like, who from Russia would even agree to fucking talk to Don Jr.? Like, what would they even talk about? I don't know. Who knows? Just like, hey, you can talk to your dad, right? Help us with these sanctions, man. We'll do anything. Oh, God.

Speaking of his family, Ivanka Trump was being interviewed, and they read a quote of her father talking about using lethal force against immigrants. And they were like, why do you think he said that? And she was like, I don't believe he said that. I was like, wait, what? You don't believe he said the thing we have a quote of him saying? That you just heard him say? I don't know, is that him?

That was him? Hey, we all deal with this shit in our own ways. Can we run that back? All right, we're gonna take a quick ways can we run that back uh all right we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about that fucking cow man Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered there are crooks everywhere you look now.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly

50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 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. 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And that cow is indeed fucking huge. It's still there. Have you seen this fucking cow? It was just revealed to me at dinner last night, and I was shaken to my core.

Yeah, and hungry, right? It made you hungry for hamburgers? I am famously a very well-known beef connoisseur and eater, but something about that cow, it felt very haunted. And I immediately withdrew upon seeing it. I was like, something's not right here. Just from life? I was just like, this is extremely sinister sight. Someone did something really bad.

Right. You know? For people who don't know, it was in Australia? Yes. And it is a Holstein steer, not actually a cow. It's just colored like a cow. Sorry. By the name of Nickers.

And you can see- And it's as tall as fucking Kobe Bryant. It is literally as tall as Kobe Bryant, yeah. Six foot seven. It's back. That's how tall it's back is. I feel like he has a lot of arthritis and joint pain. He looks like a bunch of other cows are dressed up in a cow costume on stilts.

Right. Or like a bunch of mini cows are around a regular cow. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just seems like an evil Disney scientist did this. Yeah. Did they explain why it got so freakishly big? It's like, one of those things, right?

You never know. Yeah. The only thing that the farmers seem to be focused on is that it's too big for the like slaughterhouse so they're just like yeah we had to you know usually they get slaughtered at age three but it's too big to fit in so uh just we'll just shoot in the head and cut his head off and then start breaking it down and they're saying that basically because he was too big i'm sorry i'm not the only one who's thinking about you eat the fucking meat? Yeah, but I think in this case, bigger is not better, but that's just a hunch I have. Yeah.

I mean, that rib bone. Counterintuitive, but. Yeah, that rib bone would be like a fucking Louisville slug or something. It would be ridiculous. Wait, so that cow, they just allowed it to age because it was just so freakishly big early on that they you know what at three it couldn't fit it already could not fit in the slaughterhouse and so now it just looks like a like a macy's day float is this a warning sign about antibiotics and growth hormone probably right yeah what if we eat that cow and then we become super fucking huge? Yo, if they had that, please send this cow to me in a time machine when I was 13.

Because I'll eat the whole fucking thing. So, I don't know. Are you just so flummoxed by this? I keep looking at this thing. I don't know what the fuck's going on. The other thing the farmer said is, yeah, I suppose he's pretty big. What the fuck? What the fuck are you talking about?

There's something going on beneath the surface here. Right. That farmer's Michael Cohen. Yeah. They murdered a family of indigenous people and the blood soaked into the ground where that cow eats or something. I don't know.

It's not right. There's no like pituitary gland or whatever, you know, like George Mershon, Marfan's type thing going on. They probably don't believe in glands. They're just like, it's too big to slaughter.

Keep feeding it. Oh wait, it's six, four for the record. For the record. So it's just slightly shorter than our man, Steph Curry. So,

uh, yes, the ringer put together a nice proportion thing but it was kind of unimpressive because it was like point guards in the NBA I was uncomfortable looking at it I immediately had to look away it looked like an F-150 it does look like an F-150

I was like this is not right I was like, this is not right. There's something, though, just addictive. I was sort of addicted to looking at the video over and over because I'm like, yo, this is not fucking possible. This should not be real. What was Paul Bunyan's homeboy called? Oh, the blue- Ox or whatever?

The blue ox. That's probably what happened then. If this is some actually naturally occurring thing and not a byproduct of our there's no way it's naturally occurring right well speaking of no way it's naturally occurring the rock uh apparently he has like a portable gym that he carries or i don't know if he literally carries it or uh brings around with him whenever he's on set of a movie. But John Krasinski, our guy on the inside, was on a movie with him. It wasn't Krasinski's movie. It was Emily Blunt's.

But The Rock's main producer said, no human being has ever been in that gym, which is good to know that they don't think of The Rock as a human being. that gym, which is good to know that they don't think of The Rock as a human being. Right. But he just still, Krasinski was plucky, cheeky enough to decide that he could get in there and The Rock actually let him in. And Krasinski said that he had like 40 pieces of equipment in this self-designed gym that

he'd never seen in his life. And John Krasinski works out for a living. He's an actor. Yeah, he looked pretty ripped in Jack Ryan. Yeah. So he was saying, he's like, yo, there was some shits in there. I don't even know how to use it. Yeah, he said, I walked in and it was like alien spaceships had landed.

He has like 40 pieces of equipment I've never seen in my life. I mean, it could be that or like maybe it's like a Pilates reformer. He's never seen that. Right. Yeah, I don't know. What kind of space shit is this? But I also believe that The Rock is on some other just future weightlifting shit. I'd like a little peek inside.

Yeah. You go to the gym? I don't know. That face is great. Famous pizza and beef connoisseur? I used to be an extreme athlete, so now I just sort of- Wait, what do you mean? I played volleyball in college. Oh, okay.

And it was like- Extreme volleyball? Consuming life. And so now I just sort of walk around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you did your shit. You played college athletics. Yeah.

Well, let's talk about something that The Rock would never eat. He would on his cheat day. Yeah, maybe. And on that day, he would eat like five boxes of this. Hostess Cakes is launching cereals for their cakes, for two of their cakes, honey buns and donuts, powdered donuts, which I don't. Do we have any nutritional information on this? Yeah. Monstrosity?

Uh-huh. Because it's literally, they took like a Cheerio, but made that shit look like a powdered donut. Yes. So like a ring, you know, ring cereal that we're used to. And then the honey bun just looks like a miniaturized fucking cinnamon bun. Yeah. I mean, that could just be like those, what's that, honey combs? That sounds pretty good to me.

Yeah, the honey bun looks good. It looks like a thing that I would never have been able to eat as a child, but now that I'm an adult, I will buy these. Yeah. Because they look so aggressively unhealthy that it has like this sort of charm. Yeah, that I'm like, yeah, let's fucking end it with a box of donuts. Donuts? Yeah.

Well, they tried to make it have a little sophisticated flair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they're called in the real size too, right? Yeah. Donuts. Yeah, that's the hostess way. Yeah, I guess I'm not super familiar with the line of hostess warriors. Yes, yes.

What? Yeah, so what other hostess cakes? Like, I mean, they've got, what, Suzy Q's, Ding Dongs. Isn't that them? Yeah. Yeah, they have all those cream-filled ones. Wait, what are the other ones? I can't imagine a cream-filled breakfast cereal.

Oh, the regular cupcakes, right, That have the little white swirl on top. I know what those are, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the Ho-Ho's are the ones that are rolled up. Right. Those have to be coming. Ho-Ho cereal. Could you have...

No. Yeah. That is... Sponsored by Fashion Nova. Yeah, right? Ho-Ho's by Fashion Nova. But hey, we'll see. I mean, every time we think we've reached peak something,

we push through and create a more offensive product. Yeah, like remember when the world almost ended because of the cronut? Right. I still never had one. Oh, really? It's not bad. Really?

It's not like... They acted like it was the most earth shattering. I think because someone had bothered to combine the ideas of it. I mean, I had it. I was like, yo, this is good. I think after the novelty wore off of it's like, oh, it's a croissant in donut shape. Then I was like, yeah, whatever. Yeah.

When the sweet tooth is kicking, you can eat it. I guess, I mean, we've shrunk down Oreos into cereal. We've shrunk down chocolate chip cookies into cookie crisp right but oreo cereal doesn't have no it's like cream in it no because i think those are like hoops also isn't the oreo cereal like that i think so i think the idea is that the oreo cereal turns the milk into the cream why aren't we doing this with fucking savory food uh because that would be fucking gross. Yo, I just want to know,

what is a miniature prime rib? Not that it's a cereal necessarily, but where's our... That's the line I'm looking for. Yeah, like spreadable prime rib. Pork products. Yeah. Just overly processed.

I guess it's overly processed. Cured meats. Yeah, in spreadable form. Like andouille. What's andouille meats. Yeah, in spreadable form, like andouille. What's andouille? That's like a spreadable meat, basically, but it's basically like salami or like Calabrese salami almost, like very spiced meat.

I think it's a dish from, not Italian dish, but anyway. Calabrese sounds like a word that I would assume Ghostface Killer was making up when he wrapped it, but then turns out. Yeah. Oh, it is. An Nduja is a particularly spicy spreadable pork salumi from Italy. Hell yeah. Yeah, because I was at some spot, and they're like,

oh, we have Nduja, and I was like, I don't know what the fuck that is. And they just gave me a little sample of it, and they're like, it's spreadable pork. And I was like, okay, let me get three. Give that right chair. About to bathe in that shit. Okay, but okay. And so super producer Nick Stump

is waving a flag saying there's pate. I get that's liver though. You know what I mean? Okay, rillettes also. I fuck with the liver mousse. That's for damn sure. Yo, Bouchon chicken liver mousse? Shout out to Thomas Keller.

Nah. You can buy that at the store. I don't think I've ever had it. Oh, really?on chicken liver mousse? Shout out to Thomas Keller. Nah, no way. You can buy that at the store. I don't think I've ever had it. Oh, really? Do you like pate? Sure. I've had it before. Yeah, you're not.

All the Mento and Silver Lake have been in the liver mousse. It's just a fucking massive plate. I just want to eat that in my bed. Along with your Hawaiian pizza. Different day, but yeah. Different day, yeah. That's Tuesday. Yeah. I don't know if it's clear, but I'm not in my bed. Along with your Hawaiian pizza. Different day, but yeah. That's Tuesday. Yeah.

I don't know if it's clear, but I'm not a foodie. Yeah, but you like good food. My Domino's allegiance. But when you eat good food, you're like, oh, that's good. I don't think I've seen you eat a piece of good food. You're like, I don't know, guys. Ew. Do you feel like an allegiance to Domino's in your heart?

Yeah. That's dark. Yeah, it's fucked up. You should see his tattoo it's really funny it's the noid from the late 80s he got the noid tattoo i just think it's better than the other i guess for delivery yeah for delivery bullshit pizza and you're indifferent see you're brand agnostic it seems okay but like Okay, but I had Domino's recently, and I was like, good for them. I know they're trying to reform their entire operation from ground up. And I was like, okay, there's an improvement. But what I do when I do that mystery order, it's just like someplace down the street, not like a chain.

But maybe there is more quality control with shitty pizza from a chain. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's the other thing is they probably have more at stake with not poisoning you. Sure, yeah. That's a beautiful way of thinking. More at stake for not poisoning you. They will be in a lot of trouble if they kill you.

So they have a lot of stops in place. Jack, what do you think about Steph Curry? I think he's- That's a hard pivot, but this is a basketball story. This is a basketball story. We're going to pivot on this. This whole show has been a basketball story, and we're bringing it around. No, I think he's great, man.

I admire him for trying to go in a different direction with his shoes, be they ugly as fuck uh and just a complete mess you know he seems like a nice guy he seems like one of those people who just can't do a thing with his body that doesn't look like it is how god designed it to be done like have you seen him swing a golf club no holy shit it's like the prettiest golf swing i've ever seen. Better than Tiger Woods? It's just like beautiful. Like Tiger Woods is like, you know, he really like whips it.

Yeah. That swing portrait. Yeah. It's, it's just pretty, man. How do you feel about Steph Curry? Are you shrugging?

He's the one person that you can still get it. I was just stretching. Oh, I, no, I think Steph Curry is a phenomenal athlete. I love a small guy in a big game that just destroys. He can move so well.

Incredible pull up, like incredible drive. I like his integrity and commit. You know, I think that if you have integrity, it pours out to the rest of your life. Not everyone is born with superhuman talents like that, but he's got the combo. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he's really doubling down on that because this next story will warm your heart. A nine-year-old girl wrote to him with this concern.

And she said, Dear Stephen Curry, my name is riley just like your daughter i'm nine years old from napa california i'm a big fan of yours i enjoy going to warriors games with my dad i asked my dad to buy me the new curry fives because i'm starting a new basketball season my dad and i nah they're ugly as fuck he replied fuck out of here you are nice uh my dad and i visited the under armor website and were disappointed to see that there were no Curry 5s for sale under the girls section. However, they did have them for sale under the boys section, even to customize. I know you support girl athletes because you have two daughters and you host an all-girls basketball camp. I hope you can work with Under Armour to change this because girls want to rock the Curry 5s too.

Sincerely, Swagless Riley. armor to change this because girls want to rock the curry fives to sincerely swagless riley um and so uh riley then got a fucking wonderful reply uh handwritten letter from uh staff curry wow he is a very similar block letter writing to mine almost anyway he says hey riley i appreciate your concern have spent the last two days talking to under armor about how we can fix the issue unfortunately we have labeled smaller sizes as boys on the website we are correcting this now i want to I'm crying. And you'll be one of the first kids to get the Curry 6. Damn. Lastly, we have something special in the works for International Women's Day on March 8th,

and I want you to celebrate with me. More to come on that, but plan to be in Oakland that night. All the best. Hashtag ruin the game. Damn. So, wow. I actually feel that in my chest. Yeah, me too.

That is beautiful. First of all, let it not be underrated how great her letter was in the first place, because that is how you get shit done. Oh, yeah. She set up. Now, I know you are a fan of women athletes having daughters yourself. So this struck me as odd. Do you care to comment?

So, perfectly done. She's going to be the president one day. Yeah, suffice to say, they switched up that website. They came correct on the website. And then, yeah, obviously, he's the best. Yeah. Wow, and she got the first pair of Curry 6s, so she'll be able to get made fun of even more intensely.

Right. I'm going to start writing letters for shit I want. Right. See what happens. But make it seem like you're like 10 years old. Yeah. You never come out and say it. But I know you said this.

Right. Here's my address, bitch. Whoa. I'm nine. P.S. I'm nine. Oh, shit. Yeah, I mean, he's the best. I'm a basketball fan, and I don't really have rooting allegiances

unless my dad's working for a team, so I just root for players. And he's one of those dudes dudes like LeBron and like Jordan who they're just doing things you've never seen before. When he gets hot, it's insane. It's just a different level of, I don't know. When you think about that team. And then you get Klay Thompson in there too who equally has disturbing moments of consistency.

Not as consistent as Steph Curry, but that game two weeks ago, I got freaked out. I called the police on him. I went to high school with Klay Thompson. Did you? What was he like? Tall? Yeah. He's younger than me, but our families knew each other.

Nice. Yeah. Good guy? Yeah, I think he's a good guy. I think he has all his same friends from high school and stuff. There. Nice. Yeah. Good guy? Yeah, I think he's a good guy. I think he has all his same friends from high school and stuff. There you go. Do you have all your same friends

from high school? Some of them. Yeah. Not all of them. I have most of them. Comedy really alienates you from a conservative high school. I know.

Right, right, right. Yeah. It's the worst. Oh, yeah, because you're from Orange County, right? Oh, yes. Yeah, RIP the OCGOP. Yeah. Yeah. There's the worst. Oh, yeah, because you're from Orange County, right? Oh, yes. Yeah, RIP the OCGOP. Yeah.

Yeah. There were so many letters in that. Were there moments where someone saw your comment and like, I don't know, Blair. I think my brother probably likes, I think they, I mean, everyone I know in Orange County is a Republican. I didn't know one Democrat. Oh, really? I still don't know one Democrat that lives in Orange County.

Right. Damn. That isn't white Highly homogenous area That makes the fact that they lost Every seat really pathetic For the GOP The area is changing though too It's not just the old OC I feel like it when I go there

But that's good news I know that to be true by what happened, but I can't see it when I'm there. Yeah, right, right. Yeah. Shit. Day by day, though. Well, Blair, it's been wonderful having you here. I had a great time.

Thank you so much. When a small band called The Go Team dropped an album called Thunder, Lightning, Strike. And I was in college at the time, and I was just getting turned on to music that wasn't rap. So I would be like, all right, let me fuck around with some new music. I'm in college.

I'm doing other drugs now. And this is a song called Feel Good by Numbers. And it's just a nice little piano ditty that it's not really like a groundbreaking track, but it will get your toe down. All right. We are going to ride out on that. We will be back on Monday.
