Hey, what's up? Wait, you're in Italy right now, correct? Yeah, yeah. Moved to Italy. Yeah, you're really feeling it right now. I was going to ask you, how are the people of, I mean, I'm guessing you were referencing the tumultuous decision of having Chris Pratt be Mario.

Yeah. The streets are wild here. Yeah. It's chaos. More than the Euro Cup when they won. Yeah. Society has crumbled. The fabric has torn.

People are flipping cars. They are, you know, using breadsticks to break into stores. And yeah, I could list a bunch of other offensive Italian stereotypes as well. Yeah. But I do not want to get deported. How's it been? How's it from going from cali to italy good good it's uh i mean actually nobody cares about the mario movie here that was a joke not a single person cares because he's japanese everyone i don't think anyone has even heard of chris pratt here yeah i mean the people are lovely and it's a it's And it's a great time here. And they also take COVID very seriously.

Vaccination rates are higher than the U.S. Wow. People respectfully wear masks in stores. And if their mask falls below their nose and you tell them, they will lift it up without, you know, attacking you. So, yeah, it's pretty nice wow okay i like that and of course that's a mark of a great country they got good mask adoption vaccine acceptance and they don't know who chris pratt is right i think that's actually that's the common denominator right you look at countries that have really good health care really take pandemic

seriously they all don't know who Chris Pratt is. Right. Exactly. That has to be the Chris Pratt's name cannot move the needle at all. And you're in somewhere you want to be. Chris Pratt. And then is Luigi still Bob Hoskins or who'd they go with for Luigi? Luigi was Mario was John Leguizamo. Remember? Oh, OK. Hos Hoskins was Mario. Okay. Got it.

Who'd they go with for Luigi? I don't know. Sorry, I was trying to pronounce Luigi in an inappropriate Italian dialect. Oh, Charlie Day as Luigi. Oh, that's good. They nailed that one. I like that. There you go.

And then Seth Rogen is Donkey Kong. And Keegan-Michael Key is Toad. So they just nailed a bunch of them and then for Mario we're just like I don't know, one of the Chris's? Hey, and you got Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike.

Do we? Oh, hell yeah. Fellow label name. Sebastian Maniscalco holding it down. He's going to drop some zucchini, fried zucchini jokes. Oh, my God. I still think about that VMAs he hosted that did not make any sense at all. It's all I think about.

Yeah. Yeah. There's a great tweet from Jess Tom on Twitter who looks at the cast of, you know, the Mario movie. Chris Pratt is Mario. Anna Taylor Joy is Peach. Charlie Day is Luigi. Jack Black is Bowser. And this person wrote, this is whitewashing of Japanese characters doing a racist impression of Italians.

Nailed it. Kind of a lot of levels to that racism. Yeah. All right, Katie, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, let's tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We are going to talk about the cyber ninjas who were basically hired by the Trump folks to conduct an investigation into all of the irregularities in Arizona. And they came through with their report on the election. Shocking.

It is kind of shocking. Yeah, they found. Well, we'll get to it. We'll talk about how Rudy has been banned from Fox News and his feelings is hurt. Aw. Aw, Rudy. Aw, Rudy. We're going to talk about some good news.

New York City made food delivery more humane. We're going to talk about the sexual harassment. I would say allegation, but it seems like it's just straight up explanation, description between Shelly Ross and Chris Cuomo. And we are going to talk about all that and plenty more. But first, Katie, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Yeah, so snake mutation legs is in there because I was curious if snakes ever mutated legs. snakes ever mutated legs. And I wanted to see a picture of like a snake with weird,

deformed little legs. I did find some. I don't know, like how reliable they are, because it seemed like there's only like one picture of a snake with a big claw sticking out of it, cited in some weird kind of tabloid newspapers in China. So I'm really not sure of the veracity, but that's what I spend my time doing. Does it look like just like a random appendage just like blows out and like that's how it expresses itself? Or it's like it kind of like, can it actually be a leg? Well, so again, I don know how how real this photo is in theory a snake could grow legs because it used to have legs i mean its ancestors used to have legs and then along its

evolutionary path it lost its legs and so it has these deletions of these genes that basically turn on what's called the Sonic Hedgehog gene, which helps code for like legs. Wait, really? Yeah, yeah. It's called Sonic Hedgehog gene. It's called that because it's spiky. And then also one of the researchers who discovered it, I guess, had a daughter who read Sonic the Hedgehog comic book and was like, oh, we could call this Sonic Hedgehog Gene. And it's called Sonic Hedgehog Gene, not Sonic the Hedgehog Gene. Right, right, right.

They don't want to get sued by Sega. Yeah, exactly. I mean, isn't coronavirus named that because of a spike? Like we could have had a like Sonic Hedgehog virus. Oh, because it was like a crown? Yeah, we could have had a Sonic Hedgehog virus. If they had been better at naming it. Yeah, yeah, that would have ruled much better i don't know i feel like i i probably wouldn't have gotten vaxxed

just like come on let's get some of that sonic in yeah yeah i don't know yeah would people take it more or less serious named after a video bart simpson hair virus watch and everyone's like oh no oh, no, don't mess around. Don't mess around with the farts. The kushball-itis. Yeah, right, exactly. Hey, Katie, why do snakes, like, at what evolutionary point is it theorized? I know that you don't have an actual video of the snake, you know, evolving its legs away.

But, like, why are they just like much faster without legs, faster than lizards that have legs without the legs? Why, why they, why they drop those legs? Why, why they don't got legs anymore? Yeah, no, that's a good question. I mean, it's, it seems like they traded in legs for some other adaptations. So their abdominal muscles are what move them along. So it's this undulating movement of their abdominal muscles and they can move very quietly and they can burrow in tunnels a lot more easily than the legs will allow.

And they can also expand their bodies. So that's why they can eat like can eat like enormous meals and they have right. They're big tubes and they have this expandable rib cage. And by not having, you know, these, these limbs that would kind of get in the way of that, the, uh, they basically just discovered being a tube is pretty efficient when you get used to it. That's pretty cool. But there are lizards that are very long and have little tiny

nubby legs that are still alive today that you can kind of see as this transitional species between reptiles with legs and snakes of today. And they're very weird looking. They're very fast, aren't they? I've seen some, maybe I'm not talking about the same thing as you,

but like the little lizards you see all over like California, like they're just insects that you're walking past. Like those things are, those things are real quick. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, they can be very fast. The ones that don't have, that have very tiny leg nubs are not that fast on land. But once they're like in gravel or in the sand, they're very fast, very fast diggers. So, yeah, burrowing is a lot easier when you maybe have little like claw legs, but then you can move much more efficiently through tunnels. much more efficiently through tunnels. We had a little pond behind our house in Missouri where we lived when my wife and I were,

my wife and I were first married and it was like infested with snakes. Like it was just, sometimes you would look down and it would just like, they were just all over the place. And sometimes they would come up in and like be on our front porch and watching them move over like solid like concrete was one of the more uncanny and kind of impressive things they're so fucking fast like i yeah yeah they really move along on uh and don't it's kind of weird it doesn't seem like they should be able to move the way they do.

But, yeah, they're very cool to see in person and scary, terrifying. I should also admit that I was very close to soiling myself. I remember you called me and you're like, I don't have to be scared. Right. I'm like, I don't know. Dude, just deal with it. I'm in the middle of something. It really is wild, though. What is something you think is overrated, Katie? Well, this is kind of embarrassing because I did write down Chris Pratt as Mario. And we did kind of spill the beans on that at the start of the show. But another thing I think is overrated, I mean, the Taliban. Wow.

I, for one, think they're bad're bad you know that's a scathing take i've never heard that much but with chris pratt because i don't think we've we've just all scoffed at the idea if you're gonna get specific why do you feel it's overrated like is it just the concept of chris pratt is it concept of mario what is it what are we what are we dealing with here maybe i should really i i guess i was trying to make it too topical i think chris pratt himself is a little overrated you know like he seems especially because they keep shoving him into action roles and it's like i don't buy it no i i absolutely do not buy that chris Pratt could save the world.

No, no. He's always going to be Andy from Parks and Rec. Yeah, no. I think of him as someone who like keeps wiping his poop and, you know, has hemorrhoids from Parks and Rec. Not someone who could like save the world. I think Mario is even too badass for Chris Pratt. I think Mario is even too badass for Chris Pratt. Seriously, Mario saves the little pipes and toadstool kingdom, right?

Sure. A lot. He saves the world a lot. Chris Pratt, I don't buy it. No, he doesn't have that strong kind of plumber energy. Yeah. I think the difference is he looks like someone that's never smoked a cigarette yeah and in that i'm like there's there's just i don't know why like to me his energy is like oh i would never touch a cigarette yeah right you're not an action

star not to say that it's cool to smoke cigarettes but look media has trained us to think that that's gritty. But he just seems very pure of heart. And Italians do smoke a lot of cigarettes. Yeah. If I can say that without being anti-Italian. I mean, like here where I'm living, there's a lot of people who smoke cigarettes and I feel like such a nerdy American scientist. Don't you know that's like bad for you the and am i right that the science is still out yet uh as of yet as to whether it's actually bad for italians to smoke cigarettes like they're allowed to because right because they're just i don't know the french study showed that they're impervious to right smoke. I mean, it kind of seems that way because the lifespan in Italy is really long and people are really healthy.

So I don't understand it. Well, they walk everywhere. Right, they do. That's true. The diet is less, you know, screwed up. If you drink enough olive oil, just straight olive oil, it will offset smoking.

I will stand by that statement and anyone who wishes to follow that i went to harvard come find me they also burn like 2 000 calories a day just gesturing i'm gonna get deported i know this is like a fucking 1930s comedy show uh i did just google because you said uh you made fun fun of Chris Pratt for wiping his poop. And it is still recommended that you wipe after you poop, just in case anybody else got real insecure. He had a bit on Parks and Rec where he says he wipes and wipes. His butt is like a marker he wipes until he sees red or something.

No, wait. His butt is like a marker he wipes until he sees red or something. No, wait. His butt is like a stoplight. He keeps wiping until he sees red. That's fucking awful. I'm going to take the devil's advocate here. I had been out on Chris Pratt, but I watched whatever the Amazon movie was. Forever Wars. Forever.

Tomorrow Wars. Oh,? Forever, Tomorrow Wars. Oh, yeah. Tomorrow's Wars. That's us, the US. Yeah, Forever Wars is just the new story. Tomorrow, yesterday you said you'd do war today. Never put off for tomorrow the war that you can do today. But I thought he had enough Andy from parks and rec in him to make it like i was i was glad it was him and not like some completely bland uh action action

star i actually enjoyed his work in that movie but not not a huge fan of his weird politics and shit. Yeah. What is something you think is underrated? Okay. You guys ready for this? Long braided phone charger cords. They have changed my life. I can sit... Long braided?

Yeah. Okay. So don't get too confused by all the modifiers. Braided phone cords with like the, the, you know, braided exterior that are long and, you know, I'm very serious about this one because it's absolutely changed my life for the better. I can sit on the couch and charge my phone even if an outlet's not near me. And, uh, you know, I you know, I'm not awkwardly crammed against the wall. There's like, I can charge my phone everywhere now. I've created a system of long cords where I can't spit without hitting a phone charger.

Right, right, right. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful life. You've triangulated like a position in the house where there's like nowhere a cord can't reach now. Right. Exactly. Exactly. And you mean braided is just like the ones that have like the protective fabric on the outside.

Right. So they don't get like busted up and split up like many of our Apple issued cables do. Yeah. Yeah. Like where it's like you use it for a month and I guess you bend it too much. Naughty you. And then the wires start popping out. It's fraying, yeah.

Yeah. I like the, you've got the long, so what's the longest cord you got here, like 10 meters? Oh, yeah. I mean, I would say it's like eight feet, eight feet of cord, solid cord. Oh, yeah. Eight footer. No gaps or anything? I had a six foot cable, loved it.

Yeah, no gaps, just solid cord for eight feet no gaps just solid cord for eight feet keeps going and going wow wall to computer solid cord or wall don't fuck around in italy huh no it's real deal yeah no those are great and i definitely like an upgrade over plastic or rubber encasing well they just yeah they do last longer because i remember i like back when they were always like you were inundated with like deals on the internet like you the cord that everyone needs right now and i was like always like seeing sites that were posting stuff like that i dabbled in the braided one and yeah it it it can last much longer than the the white cables we fawn over that we get from apple yeah but i like how we're just still treating it like the phone cable like the charging

cable is just sort of there's no difference than like when people used to have the really long receiver cable for their phone like so they could walk all through their house on a corded phone that's me that's who I am. Oh, retro charger that looks like that and you hang it on your wall and you put it there and then it just feels like that really long phone that people had in their houses. Oh, that'd be great.

If somebody hasn't made that, they need to. I mean, I can't express to you enough how much this is... I never knew how much psychic drainage I got from just trying to figure out where to charge my phone. Damn. I don't know. What's the biggest game changer location-wise? Because I get most people are like, I charge it by my bed.

And you're fine because you're probably not looking at it. But for you, what new frontiers have you explored? Being like at the dining table and being able to FaceTime my sister-in-law from China without the phone dying mid-sentence, like while we're having a heart-to-heart talk, I think. Wow. Your sister's in China?

Sister-in-law, yeah. I mean, sister-in-law's in China? Wow, family all over the world right now. Yeah. And you have a, you're working with an iPhone 3, so the battery life isn't great, right? Yeah. That's not too far off, honestly. Yeah.

It's called an iPod. iPod Touch. Ever heard of it? Also, not just phone chargers, but I feel like more cords need to be the braided type that, I don't know. Like, I've had a couple lamps that had that. And I feel like it adds just a layer of class to your electronic equipment. Umbilical cord? Like, keep that baby secure.

Yeah. Absolutely. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky

and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on.

Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash.

And we're back. And we're back. And it just feels silly to me every time we have somebody who's zooming in from, in this case, Italy or, you know, I mean, from Japan and our show is so dumb. The miracles of modern technology. And then we're like, thank you for wasting an hour with us thank you yeah i just wanted to up front thank you thank you katie no no i i love being on this is this is great it's it's also like it feels really good i know this sounds weird but it does feel really good to talk to americans because it is it is a culture shock i i do love the people here they're very wonderful but it is definitely culture shock i mean even amongst people who do speak english it's still like well you know i can be talking about like man you know they're taking horse medicine in the u.s and my friend's like i'm

sorry a horse right a horse needs medicine right like i was no i was explaining that to to an italian friend of mine and and i was trying to speak in italian and she was like giving me this look of like i don't think you said that right in italian and i explained it again in english and she's like no you said it right in italian i just don't understand what you're saying how someone could be so incoherent with their decision making i guess we are uh especially good reminder of america and how stupid our show is a lot of the time all right let's talk about cyber ninjas speaking of stupid american things that is what a group that uh decided to like put their own forensic analysis together despite having no expertise in the area uh they named themselves the the cyber ninjas oh that's a nom de plume like they chose that did they yeah that wasn't given to them, as far as I know. Yeah.

And they said their six-month-long recount was the, quote, most comprehensive and complex election audit ever conducted. I think we all took that to mean they were going to, like, dig into the literal ones and zeros of any vote cast, like, or any counting software uh try and argue that there was fraud they're still kind of doing that but they did put together a report that basically had their ultimate conclusion and that accidentally got leaked and what did they find miles oh well the cyber ninjas even though they were breaking open machines and things and trying to look inside and swearing there was uh you know fraud in there turns out according to their analysis joe biden actually won by a larger

margin than maricopa county had reported he won by 360 more votes than the maricopa county tally did but essentially just affirmed the same thing which was that there was no fraud joe biden won by that much not that it was a razor thin margin but joe biden won they there was nothing there um even when they asked one of the people who was like involved with it like to check the veracity of like this leaked memo they're like no yep it's true uh there's there was no seems like there were no signs of widespread fraud fraudulent votes being cast and it's like wow i'm i know in a way i'm like how could you articulate such a demonic statement out loud if you're a cyber ninja to say that Joe Biden did in fact receive more votes. However, however, because they can't, it can't just be, Hey man, we went through, it turns

out Joe Biden won y'all. Let's keep this thing moving. Cyber ninjas out. GG's everyone. Exactly. They said, we've got something. They essentially are saying that they they're alleging that they have uncovered anomalies so stay tuned is what they're saying now for the the fifth phase of this fucking rift you know donald trump was like so so like happy but also like there was too much media smearing

about this this is huge news that they found all this fraud. But the thing is, like, they didn't even they're still not saying that, even though Trump was saying, like, they found fraud. They're very clear, like there was no fraud there. We found anomalous voting patterns. OK. OK. And what's that? I mean, that's pretty damning, though, considering probably their auditing was stuff like that B kind of looks like a T, right?

For Titan, which probably stands for Trump, right? Right. For Doe Titan. That's that's pretty like anomalous. Seems like it's going to be. Yeah, right. You think this person voted for Biden come on they would clearly vote for Trump

what does that mean like we knew there were anomalies in the sense that people expected Arizona to stay Republican and it did not like that is an anomaly if you look at like all the numbers across the history of you know

don't put them on trial so quickly. Let them take one L at a time. Jesus Christ. And I'll just that's a fancy word for a head scratcher. Yeah. And we found some head scratchers and the dandruff coming from that. Stay tuned, folks. We're scratching hard.

Almost as if there was a historically bad president in office that they were voting against or something well you know they're still promising like lawsuits and more subpoenas and all this other stuff to keep it going but you know in the end it's just as all people who are not just rabid racists knew like this has nothing to do with voter fraud this was just a fucking charade to help keep the you know maga faithful on board with this like just this scam and the longer they continue to be like we're still looking we're still looking and things aren't necessarily like unequivocal from them then it still gives them you know all the other people who are in on this shit to keep pushing the same nonsense and at the cost of just tearing the

fabric of the country in thrice yeah is that is that how you'd say that anyway probably not yeah well you know why not it's monday so another thing to keep an eye on though is a really really fucking spooky trend because there are these freaky motherfuckers running for the office of secretary of state in a lot of battleground states and the secretary of state i mean it's the title can be different from you know from state to state but essentially they're the they're that's the office that like manages elections like if you wanted to fuck an election like remember brad raffensperger from georgia secretary of state there he was a republican but he was still like unwilling to go along with Trump's game to find votes that were not there. Imagine if he were. Just imagine that. Then we have something really much more dangerous and different than what happened, even though he's still many of them are basically just completely have their heads in Maga World. According to Reuters,

they interviewed nine, they interviewed 15 declared Republican candidates for secretary of state in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada. They found that nine of the 15 of these people you know they're just not they're not clear on what they think happened on the election 10 of the 15 have either declared the 2020 election was stolen or called by their state's results to be invalidated or further investigated so they these are people who are saying like if this were to happen again if i was in office that time i would have willingly rat fucked the shit out of that election. Two of the nine candidates that they spoke to said that Biden won the election.

So this is the fucking, this is the other phase of what's happening here is they real, like the reason we, they didn't get away with it. The first time is because they didn't have enough stooges in those decision making positions to make the dominoes fall in the order that they needed to they are clearly now moving for that it is like butt clenching how close we really got to just a uh a coup because i even like if people think like oh well wouldn't propriety just like being proper and going along

with rules just kind of keep people from doing this? Well, didn't Pence look into every possible option to like not ratify the election? And he he reached out to people like, could I could I do this? Like, could I not? Dan Quayle. Yeah, Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle is like, no, dude, you can't. You have.

What do you mean? No. We were a Dan Quayle piece of good advice from fucking ceasing to exist. Oh, God. Yeah. That is dizzying. The manager's about potatoes. Fucking could have sent the whole country in another direction.

Or potatoe, rather. Yeah. That is not what you want to hear. Yeah, rather. Yeah, that is not what you want to hear. Yeah, exactly. And I think that's why it's, you know, while it's easy to look at these like rallies that are happening. We touched on that like last week about, yeah, they had some J6 justice for the political dissident prisoners type shit. That's not where they're that's not where the threat is. The threat is them realizing, you know, know again it's like hate to bring up a

jurassic park but when the raptors were testing the perimeter fences yeah you know that's what this last election was and they realized it's like anything there were there weren't enough people in on this scheme for it to fall the way it needs to and now they are very focused on electing people into those positions so when the the opportunity comes again, they're ready. But it's like those raptors are testing the electric fences while wearing shirts that are like, I'm going to go eat some humans after I break through this electric fence. They're wearing shirts that say,

I am testing the perimeter fences to begin to figure out how to escape. But don't worry, guys, because Chris Pratt, Nancy Pelosi, made friends with the raptors and taught them how to work with humans. So that's all you need to know. So yeah, the

next storming of the Capitol will be Chris Pratt on a motorcycle with a fucking just a herd of raptors. Yeah, the continued fallout of reality is happening in trump world giuliani uh has apparently been banned from fox news not rudy yeah which like this apparent the ban went into place at the beginning of the summer but but it wasn't something they couldn't deny until 9-11 when they basically banned Fox and Friends from letting him appear on 9-11.

He was like, all right, guys, come on. What the fuck's the deal? I am Mr. Fucking 9-11. That's like Rudy's birthday. Yeah, that's his officially Rudy Giuliani day in conservative circles. And it was leaked that he was banned he is apparently hurt uh because he claims he did work for them to get them on tvs in new york city like you know some backroom dealing which is kind of funny that like he can't even like

keep himself from admitting to like doing quid pro quo, quid pro quo shit like in like while complaining like he just every sentence he speaks is just remember I had that regulator fired to get you guys on TVs everywhere. so many crimes yikes but it seems like this is part of a uh overall kind of sea change like the the surface reason would seem to be that he got them sued for billions of dollars with the claims of voting machine irregularities but they've also banned his son from appearances despite the fact that he's you know mainly there to talk about his bullshit campaign for governor. And, you know, the Trump officials are apparently saying or Trump aides like current senior Trump aides have found it difficult to get bookings on Fox News or even coverage of stories that are damaging to their enemies or positive for trump and this politico report which has like a lot of like real insidery vibes quoted them saying they're not doing us any favors sniffed one trump aid so you know i mean i don't it's bizarre though because i feel like there is really no main face of the Republican party right now. It is Trump.

So I'm not sure what Fox's gambit is going to be. If they do try to like, you know, cut away from Trump. Like there's no, you know, there's like a power struggle, you know,

for the minds and ears and eyes of the base. And I think the fact that like like the the maga thing was very quickly made like a lot of viewers hate fox at a certain point i'm sure on some of like we got we gotta fucking get this shit under control like i remember when we used to be the pied piper of this shit and the fact that there are all these other networks now competing for their eyeballs and ear balls and shit like that i think there's many these other networks now competing for their eyeballs and ear balls and shit like that i think there's many there's a there's like a big tug of war in that sense but i mean even even like trump i don't think has that much control over the maga crowd

anymore because he was booed at like when he was saying actually do get the vaccine, you know, and they boot him. I feel like, yeah, it's like it's not even Trump anymore that they follow. It's like this idea of Trump, this cartoon of Trump that they which is kind of scary because then there's nobody that could tell them like to not do something. to not do something. Yeah. I think the face of the Republican Party is like, like almost literally like a machine learned,

like algorithmic median of a person's face of like Mago world. That's like, it's just, I think it's become sunglasses on in the car,

right? In a truck. Wrap around shades. Wrap around shades, baseball hat, red baseball hat. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's, let's hat, red baseball hat. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's talk about some good news.

New York City has made food delivery more humane. The city council. Just enough. I mean, I think, you know, most people have heard the ills of like food courier, app-based food delivery. You know, what that lifestyle is like in the lack of support tips, all this other stuff. And the city council just voted for like our whole raft of changes that would just make a slightly more humane and equitable working environment for these people saying that like it'll require restaurants to allow food delivery couriers access to bathrooms

before like there was a whole thing when they were shutting indoor dining down they were trying to like they were barring people from using the bathroom even though they were going to pick up an order for their business to deliver it and they're like being like yeah you know sorry like it's just the covid stuff establishing minimum payments per trip making sure that they get their full tips rather than like the real sneaky fees and you know shit that a lot of the apps like Uber Eats and stuff puts on top of it and allow them to set limits on their routes. And also like makes it so that the apps have to offer like a wider range of payment options that aren't just tied to do you have a bank account? Because that's already becomes very restrictive.

Because that's already becomes very restrictive. And I think the scenes from Hurricane Ida, I think many people saw that there were people like in this fucking torrential downpour flooding. Yeah. Still on their bikes and things delivering food. Walking through water like up to their waist. Yeah. Food bags. There was a guy who, you know, who said it took him an hour to deliver something and you only made $5 for an hour of work. And when you look at it, the median hourly wage for app delivery couriers is just under $8 while the state minimum is $15. So, you know, and the pandemic not only

increased like the demand for these kinds of services, the many of the people themselves who are couriers working as couriers, about three fourths of them who are couriers, working as couriers, about three-fourths of them who are couriers now, these 65,000 or more couriers, they started working there because they lost their jobs due to the pandemic. Remember how we were crowing about, you know, oh, people who bring us the food, like they're frontline workers, they're heroes. But, you know, we're not going to actually pay them more or anything. They didn't get disaster pay for delivering food to people during a pandemic. Yeah. And yeah, this has been a huge push from this group called Los Deliveristas Unidos,

which is a collective of immigrant food couriers who have been focusing on worker rights and have organized themselves to really advocate for much better standards and things like that. But this is a win. It's a win, but definitely like there's still so much more to do. And I'm sure you'll read many articles that it's like it's been solved, folks. They solved it in New York because that, you know, I get it. A win is a a win but when you look at how much more and we've talked about how much money these apps invest in recategorizing workers as independent contractors in order to shift costs uh the the costs involved to protect them to give them you know actual wages and things like that they're still like we definitely need like standard like we almost

need like a federal standardized like set of regulations in terms of like what this work entails and what you are entitled to, because as they like it, they'd rather just keep it as, you know, human people who don't deserve much. Yeah, as exploitative as possible. Not to keep bringing Italy into the conversation, but one thing I have really enjoyed three years ago. But yeah, there's no tipping here. don't really do tipping right and all the cost is up front like you maybe pay a little more for a meal and rather than tipping and i really like that because tipping makes me anxious because not not like i always just do like 20%. I don't care. It's just like people have to eat. I don't care how long it took my food to get there. I can't like, you know, it's like I can't tell someone, oh, I didn't like the service here, knowing that that's

going to make an impact on the quality of their life. So it's just like I'm always going to do 20%, but I'm bad at math. So I don't like to do it because it scares me that I'm going to make an impact on the quality of their life so it's just like i'm always going to do 20 but i'm bad at math so i don't like to do it because it scares me that i'm going to make a mistake with my math and so you know makes me especially when they come up to you with the card reader and then you have to do the tip right there it's like oh god yeah but looking over your shoulder huh why don't you just tell me what i should tip hey that's a really you know you could just say fuck you straight to my face you know you don't have to punch into that low amount but anyway have a good night but that's interesting like in this case as i think while said like the hourly wage for app delivery workers is under eight dollars

while the state minimum wage is fifteen dollars so it like, that's how they get around it. It's being like, well, they're making tips that we then steal. I just, I really like the system of like, yeah, I'm happy to pay more than have this awkward thing of giving you tips. I also like the fact that for servers, it's like when they're nice to you, it feels more genuine

because it's like they're not just sucking up to you to, you know, not get financially punished for you not taking a shining to them. And I really don't like that power dynamic of someone being, you know, well, I have to be nice to you because like I need to eat tonight. And, you know, you have to tip me. What were people supposed to do when they patronize businesses after slavery you know like that's why we have the system we have in the united states like that whole tipping shit is born out of free like free people and be like okay yeah do this and i won't pay you but if you do a good enough job maybe someone will give you a nickel and you again like to your point in italy wow what a difference it makes to pay people a living wage.

Yeah. I mean, it's not a utopia, but it is a nice thing to like. Yeah, just a standard. Yeah, I just hate that dynamic of me being like coming, just flouncing into a restaurant like I'm now the queen of tips. It's weird and gross. I hate that that i determine how much you make right and that's why we have so many misbehaved patrons of businesses in this country too like just they abuse the venue for yeah it's the venue for them to sort of invert the power

dynamic in their own life and be like now i'm gonna be terrible to you random person who's trying to survive. But as we've talked about before on the show, just to kind of underline where this good news comes from, it's a city council vote. That's very local level politics. Get involved in your city council. Get involved in the next city council election. And then it's a collective of immigrant food couriers,

like figure out how you can help collectives who are, you know, just trying to organize to get help for people around you. You know, that's very inspiring. That's really cool. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Cool.

Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady

Rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lying. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch

is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot.

You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Substance use disorder and addiction is so isolating. And so as a black woman in recovery, hope must be loud. It grows louder when you ask for help and you're vulnerable. It is the thread that lets you know that no matter what happens, you will be okay. It grows louder when you ask for help and you're vulnerable. It is the thread that lets you know that no matter what happens, you will be okay. When we learn the power of hope, recovery is possible.

And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us.

Like our recent episode with Grammy award-winning rapper Eve on her new memoir and the moments that made her. It became a theme in my life, the underdog syndrome of being questioned, of the, would they say this to a man? No, they would not. Like, why?

That was one of those moments where you're just like, oh, wow, it was a bit shocking, but it didn't take any steam away or anything like that. If anything, it was more of the, okay, I'll show you, no worries. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so my former boss, Shelley Ross, who was the executive producer at ABC News' Primetime Live when I worked there and who I really liked and respected and got along very well with, just wrote a New York Times op-ed about a 2005 incident where she was at a going away party for a colleague at abc news and she was no longer the

executive producer of primetime live and he came in and gave her a big hug and grabbed her uh butt chris chris cuomo yeah chris cuomo and said this is okay now because you're no longer my boss. Oh, God. Come on, dude. Jesus. And she told him it wasn't OK and left the party. And he immediately wrote her an email saying he was sorry, but like mostly for doing it in front of her husband. Like, I apologize for like, you know, I totally get that that would have been awkward for your husband to see that.

Oh, okay. Awkward for your husband. All right. Yeah, it's like you're a very honorable husband. It's like, what are you talking about? Wow. Wow. I'm sorry I disrespected your husband's property, namely you.

That's basically what it came down to. Yeah. Part of it is the like, as a man who's married to a woman. Like, right. There is like a line that says, quote, as a husband, I can empathize with not liking to see my wife padded as such. Pass along my apology to your very good and noble husband. And I apologize to you as well. Oh, yeah.

Oh, thank you. Dearest wench, I recognize as someone who owns a woman of my own that I would not like to see her be touched by another man. That's so gross. That is so gross. Please tell your master 1,000 apologies for the transgression. And to you as well, perhaps. Listen, as a mea culpa, he can smack my wife's butt one time.

One free pass. Padded. But then we will have to duel each other. Yeah, padded. Padded. Ew. I don't know why, but padded grosses me out more than smack. He also like, like cosseted his email in like a legal defense where he was like, Christian

Slater recently got in trouble for doing something similar, although with negative intent, whereas mine was benign. And that is apparently something that governs the legality around sexual harassment. So he knew what he was doing. Dear future courtroom, I would like to clarify.

I love the way she went about her op-ed because she basically said i don't like care if he's fired or quits or you know goes off and becomes a men's rights activist somewhere i i'd rather instead of that he do like she basically wrote a segment for him that would be the best segment that he's ever done like on tv which is an awesome like kind of fuck you move because he kind of has to do it or won't do it and will look like a complete asshole but she like gave it a name she she was like i would however like to see him journalistically repent agree on air to study the impact of sexism, harassment, and gender bias in

the workplace, including his own, and then report on it. He could host a series of live town hall meetings with documentary footage produced by women with expert consultants. Call it the continuing education of Chris Cuomo and make this a watershed moment instead of another stand on the career of one more powerful male news anchor, which would be the best thing that's ever been on his show. And so she like, well, what about when a LeVar ball was going on for a series of interviews? Right.

And remember, but what about when him and his brother were just like chit chatting together? All, all fun. Like, cause it's like, Hey, you're my brother and you're in a position of power.

And so am I, isn't this cool? at us but she you know she points out in her op-ed that the intent of his act like she didn't take it as being a sexual thing so much as a like way for her for him to like diminish her in front of her colleagues and like like, and so I don't know, I do just love that she, you know, in her op-ed just showed that she's so much better at her job than he is. Yes. Like even casually being like,

here's an Emmy winning segment, you loser. Yeah. I think that's often the case with sexual harassment, right? It's, it's not necessarily, you know,

about the sexual thrill. It's about putting someone in's not necessarily, you know, about the sexual thrill. It's about putting someone in their place or, you know, like kind of, you know, bringing someone down a notch. It's a form of bullying. And that's not to say it's not always like sexual motivated, but it's definitely that bullying aspect of like look what i can do to you yeah and get away with it right you know and you have no recourse and if you do society will paint you as someone who's being angry or hysterical or whatever and here i am being on the news and i'll get real and has he just for a family that like that, the handling of his brother's nonsense, like the non resignation or the resignation that took forever to come. And just seeing how Chris was like, kind of, you know, I'm just feeling like I'm not going to really talk too much about this, even though I have the platform to do it.

I part of me thinks like, oh, maybe he seems opportunistic enough to be like, yeah, that would be good. Not because I need to do it, but I'm also can just see him completely. I don't know. I'm curious to see what the next move is for Chris Cuomo. Yeah, I mean, I think if you're like entitled enough that you would do something like that and then write a follow up email of like, I apologize to your husband for disrespecting his property. I think you're maybe too entitled to have that kind of, you know, insight. Right. But then this is the thing that I feel like we also live in an age where people have like crisis PR teams, too, where they're going to be like, you really should do this, Chris. It's going to be good for your career.

And people are like incentivized through their career to do the right thing rather than actually having like a reckoning with themselves so like part of i guess part of me does see a very opportunistic like pseudo reckoning that he would have to try and score points but i don't know it feels like the cuomo brand is yeah it's pretty fratty i feel like it's uh he's gonna have a hard time grappling with this. But hopefully, you know, someone ultimately presides on him, too. Oh, sick. He's going to be on Joe Rogan this week. Is he really? No. I believe you.

I totally believe that. Come on, bro. Let's see what's going on. I'm just doing my thing at the very least I'm glad that the era of America being horny for the Cuomos is hopefully over that was horrible yeah well the boyfriend looks nice

and everyone enjoyed their spaghetti and meatballs do you remember that tweet it was like Cuomos one of the Cuomos sent a picture of a family meal and some like bootlicking cuomo journalists like captioned it the boyfriend looks nice because like their sisters or daughters boyfriend was there right and everybody looks like they enjoyed their spaghetti and meatballs

it was it was like height of like cuomo like kissing. And it just had the tone of like somebody who is like doing a caption on a cute dog picture. But it was a journalist. Right. I mean, it's just. Yeah. And we talked about that with Andrews, you know, eventual fall. Just the juxtaposition of him next to Trump just was like i don't know man this also predator i like him more yes oh right everything just like starts melting away yeah does he have nipple rings

at least he's not as bad as this predator right that's one sunday dinner cuomo style is the picture and it's cuomo with his three daughters and one of their boyfriends and Jennifer Rubin replied the boyfriend looks nice and the girls seem to have eaten their spaghetti and meatballs exclamation point. The girls seem to have eaten what? It's just I don't know there's something about it that

is like so just stuck in my brain like she was playing like dress up dolls with the Cuomos oh right she has her own dolls and has a manager restaurant set

she positioned them and put it on her Instagram I'm like imagining the Cuomos with like spaghetti sauce all over their mouths like uh oh looks like the Cuomos made a bit of a mess right are you a journalist all over their mouths. Uh-oh, looks like the Cuomos made a bit of a mess. Right. Oh, my God.

Are you a journalist? I'm a doll fanatic. I'm sorry. All right. Let's talk about Havana syndrome. Havana, good time with this story. Thank you. Thank you.

And, yeah, so CIA agents can now collect disability for havana syndrome there was a vote it wasn't really even close it was 427 to nothing vote look at these votes we've seen everyone is on board it's like oh fucking uh iron dome let's go 420 to 9 uh fucking havana like stuff for people in the intelligence community and i mean they're attacking us with sound boom yeah i mean like whatever but it's just funny how quickly the congress can like unite around the like these things that have to do with our like global security yeah well there is a very i think humane reason why you would like want to help people who are experiencing this shit. But just like but hey, you want you want to you want dental care?

Right. Experiencing. Call me back. Yeah. So this is my thinking as of right now is that these are function disorders, which is like a more kind of neurologically scientifically based kind of version of you know mass hysteria like what's called mass hysteria but experts on function disorders would not like the use of the term mass hysteria because they are real experiences like these are things that these people are right yeah but like psychosomatic is still

real you know yeah it's not like a preferred term anymore right and like they you know that so just to reiterate like I don't think there's an actual sound or microwave beam attacking these people because and I can't emphasize this enough, that would be physically impossible. It's also longer lasting than any physical trauma would be. Like for if they had been hit on the head when they experienced their Havana syndrome event, they would have healed within weeks or months. but many of the people are still experiencing the symptoms years later, which is very consistent with a functional disorder and inconsistent with an

actual physical injury. But still, I don't hate this because whatever they're experiencing is real to them, first of all. Functional disorder experts make sure that this is not treated as like a mental thing, but more as a neurological condition where basically an experience or like a pain or a, you know, whatever the symptoms are, gets kind of locked in to the neurological, like brain paths via like stress and experience and you know some real stimuli and anxiety and with some fairly targeted rehab with an expert on function disorders and a better understanding of them uh among the sufferers they'd be able to like recover pretty quickly but i don't know like i don't i don't know why not to do this and And also, I do think this is going to just prolong the story. Right. And just make it like an acceptable thing. That said, like CIA agents continuing to be disabled by bizarre like pathway for the evil of america american foreign policy like creating physical problems that functionally disable the people

who carry it out like i don't hate it that's not the worst thing in the world call it a karma syndrome yeah like it's kind of karma syndrome on the other hand like and i don't i really this sounds like a joke but i really don't mean it as a joke i think like if more people in the cia got like good therapy and i'm talking as someone who has had therapy like since i was in middle school and it has done me untold amounts of good. Like, I think the more people who get therapy, the better in general, especially people who have the scary amount of power as those in the CIA. Like, if this would actually be a sort of introduction into like, therapy for people in the CIA, maybe that's a good thing like maybe

they could actually yeah like and our whole foreign policy shifts because we have emotionally balanced people who are not fully you know uh persuaded by propaganda and like nationalism to be like i don't know y'all i don. I don't know if our mission here is actually above board. When you're saying that you want to assassinate that leader, what are you really saying? What is that leader representing to you? I guess it's that, well, and I hate to keep bringing up that

t-ball game I had where I hit the home run and my dad wasn't there, but I think it has a lot to do with that. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, has a lot to do with that. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, I don't know. I feel like having experienced myself how amazing therapy can be just for my own personal issues.

It's like, yeah, that that would actually be really good if people with these this like imperialist dogma maybe had to like take a moment to like peek through the window into the house of your own mind yeah right but maybe that's the cia he's screening people to be like we need people smart enough to to rationalize that they don't need any kind of mental health support yeah you know what i mean yeah like if the therapists are all personality types that they they like to have in certain analyst positions but yeah yeah i don't know i think again it's just it's just mind-blowing to see that 427 to nothing vote because yeah there's still this like

see yeah you never see that for like mental health care for everyone else for fucking even veterans yeah or any kind of health care i mean can you imagine mental health care for everyone else for fucking even veterans yeah or any kind of health care i mean can you imagine mental health care for veterans again this is completely serious not a joke like that would be that is so important but yeah you you would not see this kind of vote for like providing any kind of health care for any other group of people right yeah but they would maybe the congress people themselves they would they would uh suggest that this is has nothing to do with mental health and is all about physically getting one over on cuba the the brain the part of their brain that got microwaved or whatever yeah okay well yeah we'll see katie as always such a pleasure having you on the daily

zeitgeist uh where can people find you and follow you yeah well if you want to hear my podcast about animals doing just messed up shit uh that is creature feature podcast wait i guess i don't need to say podcast at the end of it anyways it's a podcast called creature feature i just did a listener questions one which i think is pretty interesting it's all about weird shenanigans that happens with genes uh and yeah i just did one with soren like you mentioned at the top of the show, about beavers. Real cool animals. And you can also find me on Twitter at Katie Golden. That's K-A-T-I-E-G-O-L-D-I-N. I'm also pro bird rights on Twitter. I've been kind of going light on the bird thoughts lately.

But, you know, still occasionally have a bird thought. Then I put it out there. Yeah. Maybe they'll be in italian italian birds and is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying yes uh this is from greg kelly usa whose uh handle says greg Kelly, my vaccine status is my business. Hey. Greg Kelly is a conservative commentator.

His Twitter is, I don't know how to say it politely. Trash heap. It's a trash heap. It's like old person facebook combined with some kind of like you know cocaine based induced nightmare right yeah uh and so it's generally pretty like there's one uh a tweet he did where some guy there was like some viral video of a guy who was getting like heckled by someone because he had a laptop that said like cops lives matters and greg kelly was like i love

this patriot he actually reminds me a bit of rosa parks she was a trump supporter by the way she refused to go to the back of the bus he refuses to leave the room both could have complied and life would be easier they chose the difficult path grateful so that's just a sample of his normal tweets that's not the one that's not that's not my um pick of the litter the pick of the litter is i'm gonna try to say this out loud just imagine the parts where i'm louder are in caps because they are. I just ate two boxes of these stupid, totally not nutritious, fruity pebbles. Quote, breakfast bars. 16 of them. And I feel terrible. I hate most government regulation, but these things must be government regulated.

Highly scrumptious, but bad. Yabba dabba doo my ass ass go to hell fred flintstone oh my gosh anyways i like that one wait is he real i don't know he's a real person yeah i mean he fucking rolls he doesn't appear to be all like it doesn't appear to be all satire. Maybe he's trying to be funny. He's on Newsmax, you know? He's just, it's that fine line between, are you a failed improviser or an actual news journalist pretending to just be, like, right way? It's just like, you don't, it's.

Oh, he's like a known person. Yeah. Yes. No, no, he's a real he's a real human being yeah yeah who is on newsmax it is not a parody account but i had those thoughts like this is my thought process going through like this seems like he got hacked or it's a parody account but it doesn't appear to be the case also Also, his banner is of Pepsi, which I still don't understand. But yeah, it's a...

This is from Rachel Weiner, who works for The Washington Post. She's been like sort of, you know, following some January 6th cases and hearing what the back and forth is. So her tweet is and her handle is at Rachel Weiner, WP tweeting Judge McFadden with another difficult Jan 6 defendant today, Pauline Bauer. She quotes the Bible. He comes back with Romans 13.

Judge. Last chance. Are you going to follow my orders? Bauer. Judgment day is going to come for all of you who are making money off mankind. Judge. I'll take that as a no. Bauer going back to jail.

smell the cigarette smoke coming off of this track. It's called Wake Up by Kowloon. K-O-W-L-O-O-N. Is it Italian? Is that why you can smell the cigarette smoke coming off it? No, it's got grit to it, unlike Chris Pratt. But it's like a dream it, unlike Chris Pratt.

But it's like a dreamy sort of pop tune. It sort of sounds like a demo of an early Phoenix track. Very lo-fi, very super mellow listening, and it's like if James Taylor was hitting quaaludes in the 80s. Are you a James Taylor fan? That's the second time you've referenced James Taylor in the past couple

weeks. I don't know if I'm a fan. I mean, like, I appreciate his voice a lot. Yeah, his voice is great. There's something about his voice that's very interesting to me, but I'm not, like, a huge fan of the music. But I also, like, like, there are, like, you know, artists like Jose Gonzalez who have very James Taylor-y, like, vocal qualities, and I really like that. have very James Taylor-y vocal qualities and I really like that.
