Hello, the internet and welcome to this episode of D-Aging My Dick, Just Like Brian Johnson

trend. That's courtesy of one of the stories. You remember it. People remember that song, right? and trend. That's courtesy of one of the stories. You remember, people remember that song, right? Line and bear just like Brian Wilson did. You know, no, was that who is that? Who's that? Who's this guy? Was this guy? Wait, what song is that?

It was like on contemporary rock radio stations. Was it was a bernie galates, they're like Brian Wilson did It was bernie galates. Oh in a song called Brian Wilson I only know anyways That the age in my dick just like Brian Johnson That's how I remember that guy's name is Brian Johnson the guy who Used his son his cat blood his kids has used his son as a blood bag In order to accomplish his stated goal of having a younger dick

He's Doing all sorts of stuff Um, he's, he's been doing all sorts of stuff, uh, since then that have been too boring to pay attention to, but he, uh, was just in people magazine because his face kind of blew up because he injected somebody, somebody else's fat into donor donor fat into his face. Don't our donor fat sounds like something Joe Biden would mumble under his breath. The it blew his face. His face looks, it looks like his face is rejecting

the donor fat. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. He also, this article let us know he Took out all the plasma plasma in his body Replaced it with like a chemical that I'd never heard of women yeah albuminium

aluminum Anyways, it's a terrifying His whole existence is scary to me. The comments in the article are a great cross section of the, just like what the sorts of people who I guess would be into this sort of thing. One person said, keep up the good work. You got great results. This will be the blueprint for future research to keep fit, healthy and young looking.

The same people who are detractors are the same ones who use cosmetics, haircut stylists, yoga exercise, vitamin supplements, and wrap fashion with torn jeans to maintain a current and hip vibe. fashion with torn jeans to maintain a current and hip vibe. We have fashion. You know, get the fuck out of here and rap fashion. That is the most that shit sounds more racist to me than just saying the N word

like rap. What the fuck are you trying to say? What is this shit? You're just an airy and god using the edges of science to Keep yourself young and good-looking by the way like he has never looked anything other than like very strange like from oh Yeah, he's always looked artificially healthy like yeah, yeah, I'm not buying it for a second He looks like a sex doll. Yeah, but made that but AI. Yeah. Okay. He looks like my sex doll there. Are you happy? Okay. What's it based on? It's based on him. Then they nailed it. Absolutely. Anyways, we also have an update. So there's one update for

you on one important story. Also an update on yesterday's Jay update for you on one important story also an update on yesterday's Jay Leno story you know we so we talked immediately after the video hit the internet of him outside of a comedy club with an eye patch and entire side of his face being purple um we immediately thought something was off. According to him, he was just trying to go to a restaurant by his hotel and tumbled down 60 feet on a hill and smashed his head on a rock, had his fingernail torn off and broke his wrist. Yeah.

So yeah, yeah, yeah. It was, he was at a hotel, not, not in Los Angeles, not in New York. So he didn't have one of his thousands of cars. And the hotel told him, yeah, the only good restaurant is at the bottom of that hill. And he looked down and it was, you know, right there, just 60, 70 feet down. And then he looked at a map and it would have taken him

a mile and a half to get there, and so he just dove down the hill, head first, like that, you know, as one does, and it didn't go as well as you would expect. It's a completely bananas story that he tells, unconvincingly, to TMZ and people have questions. Some people are pointing out this is just the latest accident to befall Jay Leno. 2022 he had to get skin grafts after severely burning himself in

a gasoline fire although again I this, I think the last time we talked about this, he didn't look like that everyone was like so brave of him to like come out after the skin grafts and he didn't look like he had skin grafts at that time. Not long before that, he broke his collarbone, two ribs and cracked both of his kneecaps while riding a motorcycle. The internet was immediately skeptical, partly because he's supposedly worth nearly half a billion dollars and the hotel where he's staying had never heard of an Uber. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, he's in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. And look, Zeitgang, if you're in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, I need some recon because I've looked at Google Maps.

I did a topography search. I tried to see which hill this may have been the closest one that looks like it's when he could have tumbled down was like on the other side of a highway. So he would have had to cross a highway to get to this said to said hill. Or the other side would have had him go into a residential neighborhood either way the rest there was no restaurant that looked like it was down the hill at least from my cursory look at google maps so i'm a little bit like i think again we're still

in the dubious explain the dubious explanations panel is still in session now there's versions of people on the internet being like, yo, this dude is getting involved with the mob. I mean, two cracked kneecaps does sound like a mob. Like, you're fucked up. Like, they're gonna crack your kneecaps. But I don't know. And he apparently has a history

with talking about shit with the mob. That doesn't feel quite like the, I don't know. I feel like Occam's Razor is gonna lead us to a place that's just like, maybe just a little bit. Sad? I don't know. All right. Yeah. So like part of me, yeah. So the mob thing, I guess he's talked about playing mob owned clubs when he was younger. He said a mob bouncer once stabbed a guy during his set. And his friend later called Leno asking for help when he was arrested. He also said he was strong armed into playing a mob run church fundraiser by Frank Sinatra. And I don't know that like, so that's, that's, that's one theory. What's the Illuminati theory?

Any remote run in with someone having to do with the mob mob for a person Jay Leno's age is the most exciting, a thing that they love to talk about in a game. Yeah. So I'll just say that. And like what is it, gambling? That's the only thing you'd, like you're gonna get your shit cracked over I guess based on me watching The Sopranos a bunch?

There's also a significant amount of online chatter around The Black Eye Club, and I probably don't have to explain what that is, right? No, no, you don't know you it's a widespread conspiracy theory Used to explain why various celebrities including Pope Pope Francis my favorite celebrity Kanye doja cat as well as politicians like John Kerry and George W Bush have turned up with black eyes Okay, so what aren't really. They clearly are participating in rituals

to get into the Illuminati that involve being punched on the eye and then like little birds going around your head and then you have like a big purple eye, I guess. Yeah, and then they bonk you over the head with a mallet and then a big knot shows up on top of your scalp. Yeah, yeah, yeah, perfect, perfect. And then you're in the Illuminati.

Yeah. Great. There's the QAnon interpretation that the black eye are really, that the black eyes are really a side effect of being injected with adrenochrome, which, I don't know, the big purple thing on his face doesn't look like any injury I've seen before. So this seems like the most likely explanation of the arena. He's shooting his train to his face. He's shooting a dream of chrome, man,

but just on the one side of his face. Pretty. Yeah. It's also been suggested it's a evidence of soul scalping by the reptilians. I do love the idea that the reptilian elite overlords are, uh, you know, masquerading as 74 year old comedian Jay Leno and playing, playing dates in Greenberg, Pennsylvania. They got to keep it up, man. They got to keep it up. They got to keep it up. Um, yeah, but it but I don't know. I have seen, not going to name names,

but living in LA, you sometimes see famous people. And I have seen one famous person who every time I see them, looks like they've had the shit beaten out of them. And no real explanation. What do you think? Maybe it's like a rich people thrill. Because like they've had the shit beaten out of them. Um, and no, no real explanation. Uh, what do you, so you think it maybe it's like a rich people thrill? Cause like they're so, their existential threats are so limited that sometimes it's like, maybe I just kind of need to fuck myself up a little bit to feel alive. You know, like the same way those people went down to go see to the fucking

Titanic and shit in a fucking like Playmobil toy submarine that makes the most sense to me it's like some manner of affluenza where it's just like I don't feel anything anymore yeah like you know um that one of the problems with a black eye club theory is that some of the photos you'll find on the internet that point to, I mean, look at these Robert Downey Jr. Ryan Gosling, uh, our photographs from movies in which they're wearing black eye makeup. So, so Vester Stallone, I mean, he got beat up real bad in the eighties.

Did you see that motherfucker down at Mar-a-Lago? Yeah. Great Americans. Um, I mean, are we surprised? I feel like if you're doing human growth hormone or shit like that, you're probably voting for Trump based on everybody that is like Joe Rogan and Elon and this full. So yeah, yeah. Well, the HGH club. But I feel like the simplest explanation is usually the right one. So in Leno's case, it's probably just

God punishing him for what he did to Conan, right? Right, right, right, right If there is a God, that's right. This is all about I don't know also and this is just this is me wild conjecture old people fall all the time It's yeah, that's true. It's, yeah. That's true. That's true. One of the leading causes of old person death.

Right. Yeah. It's just a fatal tumble. I mean, yeah, I don't know. I mean, because again, a lot of things seem like the accident on the motorcycle, going up in flames in your garage. It could be like, he's maybe insisting that he's, he's still got it. And it's like, Oh man, you kind of fucking burned your garage down and you broke

both your kneecaps and now you fell down a hill. I think, I think you're coming to live with us, dad. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So I don't know. We'll see. Or it's probably the more interesting thing that he's in some secret society of death cult. Yeah. It's one of the two. One of the two. We will keep you updated on this as theories and details, but mainly theories emerge. We'll be right back.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better

understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare. You know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively

trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Leighton, and Daphne Zuniga.

And we are back and wicked is coming. We had the ater is upon us this weekend. Uh, early screenings of wicked have, uh, found some audience members singing along to the movie, uh, too loud, which pissing people off. I mean, you have to fuck the jolly. This is like anything with a huge following that involves singing. You put that in a movie theater. They're going to be singing. Yeah.

I just, that's just, it is what it is. But I guess some I don't know. Is there any around what it is or anything like except like for seeing? I guess, yeah, you would be like, hey, no one paid to hear your ass sing. I came to watch this. I watched Ariana Grande. Grandi. Yeah, I think that etiquette is like, don't fucking do it, except like if it's a sing along musical. Yeah. Right. Explicitly. Right. Yeah. Cause they have those.

I remember like the greatest showman when I was like, people watch that and they're like, yeah, they do. Like I even feel like with concerts, I feel like it's not quite as bad because the music is so loud. Have you had someone singing behind you have had somebody singing directly next to me in a way that was distracting and annoying for sure but like with a movie that feels like next level like get the fuck out of here man yeah cuz I remember that those the Taylor Swift concert

those dates we weren't even in their seats they were just fucking we're the fuck out of here man yeah because i remember that those the taylor swift concert those these people weren't even in their seats they were just fucking we're dancing around here and i'm like that makes sense it's a concert movie yeah it's a concert movie um i guess we we've covered before uh the bodyguard musical stage show uh had to literally stop the show to throw people out because they just like couldn't help themselves singing that big fucking final tune. They're like, bro, are you serious? The singers themselves are like, wait, so what are they, are they going to kick people out?

So they're trying to get ahead of it. AMC is warning ticket buyers that singing of any kind is prohibited inside the theater at all times. They even have a special wicked themed pre show video, like the way that the Maverick movie had the weird pre show video where Tom Cruise was just like, ah, fucking movies, man. I'm so happy you came to watch a movie with me in it. This one is a pre show video that says no talking, no texting, no singing, no wailing, no flirting, and absolutely no name calling. Okay. I think they should have just said no singing. Like why they had to like make it

into like a whole like cute thing. Yeah, you mean business. Let them know you fucking mean business. You should be able to fucking flirt. It should be fuck around and find out if we catch your ass singing you're fucking gone. Welcome to AMC. Obviously some people on social media have suggested that they're gonna sing no matter what which of course they have. We're in the era of unsupportable opinions proudly held so why not?? Right, right. I'm not going to get vaccinated and I am going to full voice sing in the theater. Yeah. Universal is releasing a special sing-along edition of the movie,

seemingly trying to discourage people from singing in the regular screenings, but it doesn't come out until Christmas. So if you can just hold it, just hold it that much longer. Yeah, right. Just edge your desire to sing until Christmas and then you can just hold it, just hold it that much. Yeah. Right. Just edge, edge your desire to sing until Christmas and then you can let it all out. You can even just lip sync, do all the hand gestures in your seat while you're. Oh God, that would be even more unsettling. Just like a bunch of people like mouthing the words. I feel like we are in the wrong universe. I think we need to leave. And finally, McDonald's is going to honor the spirit of Christmas and win back the people of America

by selling big fucking jugs of McRib sauce. Oh, my God. Yeah. Do they know how in their brand is right now? Come on, McDonald's. The McRib fucking sucks. I've I took a bite of one years ago and I've never wanted to eat that shit again. And I know that there's always the manufacturer, the McRib is back or it's gone. And we know you like to just fuck with people about it.

Come back. But that sauce is awful. Hmm. I mean, that's just like your opinion, man. I've never fucked with the way the McRib, like the McRib itself too soft, the bread too not soft. So like there's something about like, I feel like when I bite into it, it just like squashes out, you know, in a way that meat should squarsh Squashes on out. You know what I mean, bro, but I felt that yeah. Yeah, I don't know squashing meat. Yeah so basically they're trying really hard to get people to come back after more than a hundred customers were sickened in the recent E. Coli outbreak and

They have a bit of an ace up their sleeve A half gallon jug of McRib sauce sold in windshield wiper fluid bottles. Yeah, right. In the like antifreeze bottles that you get at gas stations. Like big old gallon jugs of a... Yeah, I've only ever seen these bottles used to for like motor oil or you know Like you only see these style bottles at pep boys and O'Reilly's Grave stomp That that sound

Grape stomping lady sound just to kind of take it there for a second. It might be the last thing that drifts through my brain before I die. Wow. Not even the sound of your children's laughter. No, I think it might be the, oh, oh, oh, oh. Depending on how I go, you know. As you enter Elysium, that's amazing. That's like the last scene of gladiator and shit when he's dying and it's like

it's just oh, oh, oh, yeah, it's the same thing. My hand passing over the top of like wheat and a wheat field. And then except the sound is just the grape stomping lady. No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh that has been designed to look like a Christmas sweater, which is so cute. But yeah, I that like I'm assuming there will be actually I'm assuming there won't be health information on the side of this bottle because they wouldn't have done it if so. Right. They're like, within this jug is 72 pounds of sugar. Doesn't even weigh that. What the fuck is this? Fucking the reason we have to keep suspending the McRib is because the process to just

boil down the hyper, hyper soluble sugar, like down to its most baked in level, it takes years and years and years. Apparently 72 cans of Coca-Cola boiled down equals equals one tablespoon. The most sugar saturated product ever sold. But yeah, I do. You got to respect McDonald's. Their solution for creating a health catastrophe is a giant jug

of health catastrophe. Yeah. Someone COVID then apologizing by buying them a carton of cigarettes. Hey, sorry about that. Hey, you ever, you ever smoke fiberglass? No, wait, is that good? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Clove cigarettes. Check it out. Anything we want to talk about on the Trump side? What do we got? Just, I mean, he's already just quickly another self-imposed ally. He's doing the thing from that he did when he was president where he doesn't understand how anything works already and is complaining about it.

So he's talking about all the judges the Democrats are confirming in the Senate right now in like this, you know, the in this liminal space between the now and the the Trump administration part two. And so basically the Democrats are on a confirmation blitz to get as many judges confirmed to the bench as they can. And Republicans are currently pretty helpless since they only hold 49 seats in the Senate. So any chance they have at blocking some confirmations, it's completely predicated on every single Republican senator showing up. So cut to Tuesday, Trump drags along five senators with him to Texas to watch Elon space toy test rock rocket test go, which by the way ended in a literal

fireball in the ocean. And that's he did that on purpose. Exactly. Yeah. And I meant to do that because it gets more eyeballs on the situation. But basically though, so that lack of senators made it a lot easier for these confirmations to go through and like a lot of other Senate Republicans like what the fuck, like why are you taking these people like this is, we are kind of trying to stop this.

They're probably, I mean they just don't give a fuck. But this is in the Daily Beast. When talking about like the kinds of criticism that Senate Republicans were just sort of like articulating quote, not everyone is open to that kind of criticism. When a right wing pundit tried to call out JD Vance for missing the votes Tuesday, he had a complete meltdown claiming he was way too busy to bother showing up and that it wouldn't make a difference if he did. Within an hour, he temper tantrum temper tantrum as it was explicitly at odds with what Trump had demanded Big stop this shit. It's like well you took them with you So anyway, just that I mean obviously, oh, you know what we talked about it on tomorrow's show

But Linda McMahon was tapped as the secretary of education. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and more WWE presidency. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, November 20th. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Bye-bye. Hey everyone.
