Oldies but goodies. Something on early in the week.

I got to ration this. Got to ease in. Ease in. I'm telling you that it's done wonders for my emotional state. Emotional equilibrium. Yes. Again, and also like just after again, watching The Social Dilemma and I'm like, I can beat them if I just have the willpower to not use the fucking thing.

Even the stuff that like was kind of whack about that documentary like the like the white dude with dreads i love the white dude who did i mean i was like what are those you could you design a more like appropriate person as much as i was like oh here it is but part of me was like in a way i kind of need my like futurist people who are warning me about problems to look like people who have absolutely no awareness like yeah because they're so crawled out of a hole in the mad max universe right and he was right about so much yeah um but not about his cousin adam duritz's career but the uh the reenactments even like the stuff with pete from mad men i've like even that stuff

i'm like yeah but that's true it is useful to think about your phone being a group of like hackers who are just like trying to get your attention you're like i can't get him uh give him this one give him this alert his ex banging a new person exactly uh well we are thrilled to be here, baby. What if I just had that energy for the whole hour? Miles, ask me something about the debate. Blake, we haven't recorded, we haven't seen the debates yet, but how are you feeling about that debate? Oh, bing, bang, bang, bang.

Gotta get it, what i'm like jack he leans into the chaos thing to the point that he's really just become a non-participant in any of the conversations mike piazza honda of norristown baby drive on down drive one away He's a catcher. He'll catch a deal, baby. Oh, boy. What the fuck is this? He's doing local ads. He's doing local ads. Mm-hmm. WBMason.com. I don't know. Sorry.

I think that might be a national paint company. Nobody beats the whiz. No. So, Blake, we are recording this here in the past, before the debates. So, that's why you you sound so happy i'm assuming i don't know that's true or appropriately deranged well yes this is a special episode because it we're gonna start off before the debates then in the second act jack and i are gonna come back to give you that debate recap blake might join us we don't know we'll see how he ends up tonight

uh and then we'll come back for Act 3. So, I mean, this is like one of those moments where we're going to be hopping around on the space-time continuum. Exactly. And we have to decide if you are going to be playing a drinking game during the debate,

how you are going to consume the debate. I magically show up in the second act talking and... Just hammered. Dude, I'm telling you, man. I'm ball up in the second act talking and just hammered. Dude, I'm not telling you, man, I'm voting.

I'm balling. I'm voting Trump, man. Oh my God. He gets what happened. Oh no. Uh, all right,

Blake, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment, but first we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about. We just kind of did right. We're going to, we're going to do a debate recap. And then in act three, we're going to come back kind of did right we're gonna we're gonna do a debate recap and then in act three we're gonna come back with a little bit of brain bleach uh which is going to be a segment for as long as we need it i think but before we get to any of that shit

blake we want to get to know you a little bit better starting out with what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are something from my search history recently uh pete carroll 9-11 and i remember he's one of those guys who's very a very famous uh football coach for the seahawks and you remember hearing rumors but you're like oh maybe that's just like you know jar or like you know banter between fans and i looked it up and pete Pete Carroll is a 9-11 truther. He doesn't believe that the Pentagon was attacked. And you you could definitely tell by his pleaded khakis that he wears on the sidelines.

That is that that is a sentiment of his. But, yeah, huge 9-11 truther. I mean, I mean, where are the scars from the wings hitting the Pentagon? Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad somebody said it. What happened to all that surveillance tape?

Why did the FBI just show up suddenly and take that? How come we haven't seen that anyway? He's got some of the most profound dumb guy energy in the universe. The vigor with which he chews his gum is next level. It is bad. Just like he's always chewing his gum furiously always has his mouth open a little bit just like he's trying to make his top row and bottom row teeth fight yeah yeah i'll kill each other down there um you know i heard he actually so hard how he got he

lost his job at uh university of southern cal Southern California because it was recruiting violations. And I heard that he offered unreleased 9-11 security tapes to Reggie Bush. And that's how he got him in the door. I mean, look at a lot of people crossing paths with him. Reggie Bush, they wonder what did it. It was probably the truth or stuff. He's got an SC. You hate to see it. You hate to see it.

The real President Bush. Such a real president Bush. Fantastic university. He is, um, he's, I think it is seventies, but he has the energy of a like three year old, not particularly smart dog. Yeah. Just, just nonstop. Just like, Oh, like just getting out of puppy. Yeah. A little bit puppy.

Yeah. Um, I remember like how everyone was like, Oh, like just getting out of puppy energy, but a little bit puppy. Yeah. I mean, I remember like how everyone was like, he's so cool. Like the reason, the reason he gets these guys playing for him is because he did a gainer off a diving board at practice. And all the people were like,

Whoa, he's like a surfer. And I was like, this is wait, really? He shouldn't have done that. Like I remember. Yeah.

Because locally, you know, me being just a absolute fucking angry UCLA football fan, which is not even a real word, UCLA football fan. It's more of like a tortured person who, you know, occasionally casts his gaze upon a score on a Saturday. Hey, Chip Kelly, baby. Great coach. Better guy. Blake.

Just one of the all-time assholes. Oh, my God my god yeah it's all a fucking cesspit but i remember that was always the coverage like we just don't i mean this is the best program on earth and we've been a sports podcast i feel like i talked a lot about sports yesterday i love it a lot of sports today it's what we need hey man again this is a show where occasionally we catch ourselves trying to avoid talking about what's actually happening sometimes because it will overwhelm so that is our service to the listener as well can i tell you a quick this is really really quick speaking about sports where someone uh my friend was dating this girl who was like a lot younger than he was

and um he was like by the way this could have been a guy saying this stupid thing as well but it just happened to be a girl and my friend goes uh hey you know sports are great because you know someone from any you know uh economic group you know any any class any political persuasion they can all agree and talk about sports together because you know and then like because you know you can't really do that with other things and And the girl goes, why is it illegal to not talk about it? He was like, no, no, no, no, no. It's not illegal. I love that line. That relationship didn't last.

Neither will that story. Is it illegal? Was the relationship illegal? It was illegal. That's a great retort. Immediately, the reason why you can't do something or unable to, even if it's a new one thing. Oh, it's illegal? Well, it's also what people like

to say about the United States if you tell them they can't do anything. Not against the law. Free country. That could be the only reason you couldn't do that with something else, because it's illegal. Because it's a free fucking country. Listen, I know the law. I may come off as a total moron, but I know the Constitution

and I know that that is illegal. Uh-huh. That's why I have this laminated card that says I'm with a federal agency that doesn't exist, and I don't have to wear a mask anywhere I go. Okay, bye. Also, one of the most profoundly mismatched appearances on NPR ever was Pete Carroll joining Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me to do the quiz show. And just not a, that didn't go well for him or for anyone listening. All right, Blake, what is something you think is overrated? Overrated.

And maybe I have election fever here, but overrated the 1840 campaign slogan, tip a canoe and Tyler, too. And a lot of people quote that all the time. And I find it misguided. I think it was a very underwhelming election, very even more underwhelming presidency. I'll obviously get to that in a minute. But, you know, is the ticket for the Whig Party, which, you know, hasn't aged well as a party that's gone. And then also also the name very embarrassing. William Henry Harrison, by the way, the way he got the nickname Tippecanoe, he is the titular Tippecanoe from the slogan. He led Americans against Tecumseh and Native American forces as a governor, which I found to be unnecessary. I feel like you could find someone else to do that job.

He led the army as a governor instead of a general, which I thought was odd. And the guy died 30 days into his presidential term. So what's the point? Why even talk about it? It rhymed is the whole thing. Was he? Yeah.

He died of what? I believe it was pneumonia or something that you shouldn't die from. I thought he ate too many cherries or something. There's one president who had real- Pits. He died from the pits. He ate too many pits and cherries. Real dumb death.

Yeah. Wait, so I never understood that saying. I have it in my brain as a political slogan. What the fuck does that mean? So Tippecanoe was the battle of the quote-unquote United States against Native Americans. So that was the name of the, I think it was in Indiana. And then Tyler is, I might be confusing this name with a former young actor, but I believe it was Zachary Tyler is Zachary Taylor Thomas. I think Zachary Taylor was in home improvement.

Zachary Taylor Thomas was the politician. That makes sense. That makes sense. So that's that is the Tyler. And then he became president after William Henry Harrison ate too many peaches or whatever the hell he did. Wait, but so they're saying Tippecanoe like the idea is William Henry Harrison. Harrison and

Tyler. So because his nickname, he's the hero of Tippecanoe, they're saying vote Tippecanoe and Tyler too. Right. See, overrated. Like who cares? It's shit. The whole thing's shit. I hate that. I didn't even know this was a thing. I always thought it was a They Might Be Giants song. It is that as well.

Yeah. That's probably why I have it. Are they giants? Look into it. They are Disney channel musicians now. Oh, good. Very catchy songs. A lot of money in that, huh?

Oh, man. they're doing extremely well I'd imagine They created the hot dog song For the Mickey Mouse Club Really What's the hot dog song Hot dog hot dog hot Hot dog hot dog

Hot dog hot dog hot What The fuck is wrong with y'all wait why do i know that song because i know i don't like this yeah it's just out there just out there in the ether sneaking its way into people's brains i mean it's better that than you coming back being like hey let me tell you about these q drops man but not that much better uh the, the, yeah, I, it's such a catchy song that I was like, there must be some famous person behind this maybe.

And sure enough. Uh, yeah. And that gave me the idea to play. They might be giants for my kids and they love it. Nice. Uh, what is something you think is underrated?

Underrated? Uh, putting a pot of coffee in the refrigerator after you're done drinking the hot version of it. So you waste less coffee. By the way, I do realize this sounds like a very poor thing to do, but whatever money you get, I don't know. You don't hear Bill Gates like,

oh, put a pot of coffee in my fridge. Whoa, whoa, easy now, easy now. We got a podcast coming out with him where he reveals that's his secret to wealth then buy up dan edit that out um i don't want to step on that that big podcast you have you don't want hey don't fuck up bill gates bag right now okay man i never would also the only rich person i could think of um but uh yeah that's the thing i've been doing for years. You make a big pot of coffee, like 12 cups. Then you only drink like three cups out of it. So you take the rest of it and put it in the fridge.

Just put the pot of coffee in the fridge. And then you have iced coffee later. And you don't waste coffee. So your coffee bags last for a much longer time. And when you want an afternoon coffee, it's generally like, oh, God, I feel like trash. I quickly need coffee. You don't have time for hot stuff to brew. So you got a cold.

You got iced coffee in there. So you just throw some ice cubes in it. Milk, sugar, whatever you want to put in. Wow. Tabasco. Yeah. You got yourself. You put Tabasco.

You can put it in there as well. So you said you make a 12 cup batch every every morning. Whole cup, whole pot. Well, it's for me and my girlfriend and then damn so y'all get into it huh like with the like that's how much wow just thinking of like going full full pot i'm like whoa nope can't do that we're grinding and i don't mean uh crotch to crotch dancing i mean uh you mean your molars yeah i mean our molars I mean our molars From the stress of drinking so much coffee

We're grinding in here and don't call me Pusha T And don't call her Malice Okay come on y'all come on that was a clips alley-oop Where are my Star Trek fans at I said clips and then I was I was like an old person playing Jeopardy and then saying

The wrong word associated with. I mean, they're pushing Kane like a cripple. Balance way through the hoods. Kids call me Mr. Sniffles. I mean, come on. His rap career is like a creative writing exercise where it's just like, how many things can this one subject inspire? Oh, yeah. Some days I wasn't able,

there was always cane. I mean, the cocaine rhymes out of them where they fully infected my brain. There's one song where there's not even really elegance to it where Malice just starts a verse off saying, rappers are talking to me as if we're in the same boat.

I tell them, quick, no, I move coke. And you're just like, oh, okay, statement. Statement, statement. You just want to talk about cocaine then all right yeah like yeah he's kind of intense he always only it's all cane talk with him sometimes it's great when rappers just come right out and say in plain english what their thing is like when dmx goes i'm not a nice person person yeah uh-huh right okay got it. And finally, Blake, what is a myth?

What's something people think is true you know to be false or vice versa? So I am on the East Coast right now, and the Pennsylvania suburbs went for Trump last time, obviously. And this time, I think you hear about Pennsylvania. You're time, you know, I think, you know, they've, you hear about Pennsylvania, you're like, all right, your Democrats will carry Pittsburgh, they'll carry Philadelphia, and then hopefully the rest of it, not enough of them exist, you know, to ruin the state. And they did four years ago.

But in my mind, just all of the pencil, or in my mind, in all of my minds, I'm like a cow, but with brains. Multiple brains. That's right. All the information I eat up, I need so many brains to process it clearly multi-brain multi-brain multi-brain so um yeah the philadelphia sorry pennsylvania suburbs right now according to i think it came out yesterday or this morning uh washington post abc poll um so take it with a grain of salt um. Biden right now holds

a 2-1 lead over Trump in Pennsylvania suburbs, which I thought was really interesting. 2-1? 2-1. A 33% percentage point lead? I'll take it. 2-1 meaning like for

every two Biden supporters? 66-33? Is that what you mean sorry i just i just have uh two colon one is is how i either way that sounds like double to me yeah that sounds good can i tell you i have no idea how to answer that question that you just said to me in terms of i'm like do i not know what two to one means anymore well Well, no, I think you're I think there's a lot. That's what it means. I thought you were just saying that two to one like percentage points. But oh, no.

Oh, I'm sorry. No. For every two Biden voters. Yeah. Yeah. There's one Trump voter. Yeah. I thought I was having.

That's great news. I you love to hear that. It's so weird, though, like as much as and, like, hearing Cory Gardner, like, his Senate race just became more competitive because he's, like, willing to confirm Amy Coney Barrett. It's like, yeah. And then part of me is like, God, don't fucking slow. Don't anybody slow the fuck down. Because, like, this is the kind of shit that, you know, 2016, you're like, oh, bro, this shit's a wrap, bro. Like, this fool going up against the

fucking machine no sorry not gonna happen but like you're starting to see that maybe a lot of people are starting to move in the right direction but at the end of the day i'm like i can't it's so weird how unwilling i am to let that give me any joy i'm like no no that's fine that's fine that's fine because we just got to get we just like i'm like fucking lebron i'm like we still got to win five games yes i am i think that is the right pose to take be sitting on the court in a puddle of confetti with your shoes off with a champion without a smile with a champion just being like we have not done shit right and i also don't want to compare our current situation to lebron because we are still trying to get Joe Biden elected.

I would also, that is not LeBron. That is not LeBron trying to win a championship as LeBron. That's Drew Gooden. Yes, that is Drew Gooden. Yeah. I think there's a couple things going on.

Like one is, you know, we lived through 2016. We felt that whiplash of being overly confident. And then we're also, I think, wisely not feeling any confidence because we've never, other than 2016, we've never witnessed a U.S. presidential election where one of the people is openly cheating and has a propaganda wing like working for them. Really? I mean, I guess Romney and George W. Bush. But like the openly cheating thing we've only seen once.

That was 2016. And the guy who was openly cheating and getting away with it pulled off a big upset. And for this election too, there's an end date and it's very, very soon. So whatever work you're putting in, don't get too docile or don't get complacent because you literally have a month left. So you have a month of work. It's not four years away. It's not some infant. It's not four years away. It's not three years away.

You have one month. So if you've been putting the effort in, just keep doing it for one more month and then take a brief break after that. Are you seeing you are on the East Coast in that general vicinity? I'm on the ground. Are you seeing more Trump things, less Trump things, just generally? I remember driving from Pittsburgh to Ocean City, where I believe you are, or in that

general vicinity. Edit that out. Edit that out. And seeing just a shocking amount of Trump stuff and being like, wow, there's going to be a lot of people upset when he loses back in 2016. What's your kind of boots on the ground? What are you seeing over there? So anecdotally, I am down the Jersey Shore right now. And then I was in a Pennsylvania suburb where I grew up, where in it was kind of 50 50 like you would see Trump

signs you'd see Biden signs and it is like a you know a fairly generally I think it would go red you know it would be like a little darker than a pink I guess but like they do but this time I would say 99 percent uh Biden signs where I may only saw in that same exact area. So, you know, I think part of it, I think most of it is that they do want to vote for Biden. I think also it is an area where people, you know, status is a thing. And I don't know if people want to openly be like, hey, I'm after all that it is an educated area, too. So they're like, oh, I don't want to openly support this thing but it is overwhelmingly biden and i think the difference too is that a lot of people who support biden tend to have like taste you know and people who support trump

like don't so a political sign or a banner is not like a good looking thing to have on your house or it just doesn't look good so the fact that there are you know it tends to be a tasteful like oh here's a biden you know like like a progressive sign or like you see the one you see like where's osama bin haidon you know those i'm kidding i haven't seen any of those but but the trump i feel like someone who's willing to put up a trump banner is just just has is so unartistic and just loves ugly, big, you know, body things. It might be, again, anecdotally, those might stick out more because those people have those big things, you know, like Trump banners tend to be in size larger, you know, and width and height. So, yeah, well, they're encouraging. There's a lot of hiding signs.

I just like this catty take it took i mean let's be real i believe it sounds like we're in the fucking editorial offices of like vogue i believe the biden supporters let's say have taste while the others may just be racists let me call good i believe that see what he thinks about this take graydon carter um i noticed when I was driving through rural California a startling amount of Trump signs and also Devin Nunes signs. Signs that said the only person who will actually tell you the truth is Devin Nunes.

Except about where his family's farm is and if he's still actually a farmer there and all the other things and trying to sue random Twitter accounts for clear jokes and losing constantly. But that's neither here nor there. That's the stuff he will tell you the truth about. Yeah, right. Exactly. He will say, that Devin Nunes mom Twitter account is not my mom.

Right. Okay? No matter how disappointed in me she says she is even though my mom high key is also disappointed all right that's gonna do it for act one and uh up next we're gonna travel into the future where miles are you gonna be drunk let's prepare people yeah i mean why not if that's not a preview i don't know do we have give let's do we have rules for the drinking game yeah so people can pause and play with you i will be uh going off of uh the washingtonian.com's presidential debate drinking game night one uh and the rules are as follows so you can only imagine how may i may sound going

into after this commercial break uh you take a sip when trump says huge says china uh talks about his admiration for any totalitarian world leader makes any false claims related to coronavirus and our pandemic response complains about mysterious voter fraud accuses biden of wanting to defund the police i am already blackout drunk wow you gotta owe duels only you can't drink you can't drink liquor take a sip when biden uses a malapropism uh says folks references the middle class starts starts a sentence with look come on Come on, man. Tells a story about some- Do we have come on man on there?

Tells a story about some average Joe worker he met on the campaign trail that could easily be fabricated. Claims he's going to end systemic racism and fails to explain how. Oh, no. You can't play this game. I'm going to be, and it doesn't end. You take a sip when either say the united states of america uh something inappropriate loses their place makes sentence and completely changes direction lobs a direct insult at the other you chug when biden abuses obama's record

as evidence of his own capabilities as his leader uh That's great. Or if you can no longer follow what Trump is arguing. Fuck. Take a shot, finish your drink if Biden's eyes start bleeding. And Trump describes his financial records in history with the IRS as, quote, perfect. So y'all, pray for me during this commercial break because at this point it will have been moments after the debate. Should I play this game with Mountain Dew?

Or what do you think? That might make my heart explode. Just water to see how much you pee. Like the volume of alcohol. Because I don't know. Just thinking of stuff like Biden starting using the word look to begin a sentence. Look, man. Come on, man.

Oh, fuck. Or says man. Come on on man uh i don't know we'll see yeah but hey yo r.i.p miles look forward to it entertain or i'm just gonna be so like dark drunk and i'm like you know honestly like he didn't say none of them said shit about anything oh that's why where we are where we are Let's just go to Act 3 where I'm not drunk anymore. I saw a snail walking on the edge of a razor. Oh, no, Miles, don't tell this story. Here he goes. All right, let's take a quick break.

We'll be right back. 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.

Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we're in the future. We are after the presidential debate. Oh, my God. What a time to be alive.

The fuck? These bullets are going backwards. Yeah. These shots are going back into my mouth um did you did you do the the drinking game i'm not gonna lie y'all um i tried but there were too many details in being like did he say look or here's the deal? He said a lot of Biden was on Biden was being played it was a SNL character of

Joe Biden being played by Joe Biden. Yeah, I basically lost track of what the rules were and then I just sort of drank out of self-preservation as I watched. It was just so like man, shit is so fucking sad. You know, like that, that this was the state of the presidential debate.

It was so unruly. And now, but I don't know what we expected. I mean, like, I don't know, in a way, like I was fully prepared for this and I was just doing that. They were like, oh, yeah, yeah. OK, they did that thing that I knew they were going to do. Yeah, exactly. It's weird to see it happen oh this is why i was so stressed out heading into this i because i knew trump was gonna steamroll and i knew biden like from the democratic debates i knew that biden uh can't like talk over somebody he like stops when somebody else starts talking

so and there's also moments too where like you know if uh your freestyle rapping in a cypher and maybe a rhyme got away from you and somebody else wants to hop in you're like okay yeah you could take over right there because i was about to run out of something that makes me look better if i just stopped talking yeah but it was um yeah that that helped that there were there were moments though too where i don't know in a way i feel like i severely um underestimated joe biden yeah i think i did too i mean i had very low bar and when he had like a couple good lines it thought it was surpassed my expectations yeah uh like there was a time when biden said here's the deal here's the deal

man um i thought that was great no uh if you catch the line it is what it is because you are who you are oh yeah yeah sure people love that but if you catch yourself saying here's the deal in an argument with your significant other uh-oh that's not a good look here's the deal no no no no just stop just stop that didn't work but joe biden i'm i don't know i it was it was really like it was one of those moments where we were talking before it's gonna be two old dudes arguing over like the last salisbury steak in a buffet line right and here's the deal though okay sir hold on now let him speak now he's asking now he's laying claim to the salisbury steak that's in this steaming tray now you go on sir you have two minutes to state your case uh-huh now don't interrupt sir we will get to the bottom of this

whose salisbury steak is this it had just like that such a it was weird like the level of discourse for how high the stakes were were just fucking me up his when people were like a lot of people were complaining that chris wallace lost control of the debate but like that wasn't unless they give him the power to cut mics which i think they might have done at a previous debate with trump but unless they do that it's a i don't it's not a fixable situation because he's not going to listen to you. Or you have DMX moderating it. Right.

Or he'll just scream at either one for not respecting his rules. Calling. So just my notes that I was typing through. notes that i was typing through this was honestly like we we uh when we started the zoom super producer anna was like that was boring that was that was like that's like calling open heart surgery that you're awake for boring like it right it was the slowest i think time has ever moved it was yeah my brit my Apple Watch breathing app kept being like, hey man, just breathe. Yeah, come on now.

Come on, settle down. Stay in here, stay in here now. I didn't know why Biden didn't point out that Herman Cain died from a Trump event. That seemed like a pretty... He missed a lot of lobs, I'm not gonna lie. Brian Shaw was throwing them from deep and Shaq just wasn't there. He missed a lot of lobs. I'm not going to lie. Brian Shaw was throwing them from deep.

And Shaq just wasn't there. Calling Trump not smart really seemed to make him mad. That was very... Yeah, that was the one time I actually took a note in my notes app. I was like, uh-oh, do not call him the slow reader in class. That was very... He was like, don't you dare. I've never. Did you say smart?

I'm sorry. Did you say smart? Oh, you better not go there. Don't go there with me, boy. Because you went to Delaware Tech. Delaware State and you forgot and you were the bottom of your class. Don't come see about me if I didn't ask about you, Don. Don't worry about me.

They were, yeah. I mean, yeah, the whole thing. That was a nice moment there was uh trump had this weird obsession with whenever he got like biden to say like he didn't support the green new deal or some other things like oh wait you just lost the left there congrats man you just lost the left like he doesn't i mean in a way it's like yeah those are the things that are turning off a lot of progressives to him. But to think that there were people who were looking at the stakes in this election and then waiting for that to be like, and he just lost the left, everyone. That was it.

I mean, I would say it would have been a better strategy for Biden to just point out that the shit that Trump was saying about the Green New Deal wasn't true, as opposed to like i don't you're the green new deal i'm not green new deal yeah you are um what i ain't green who you calling green charlie i've been on this block since 62 um just doing the like kennedy nixon thing where you talk about who looked uh better like to start with trump looked better uh biden looked a little corpsey but then by the end trump was like sopping wet uh which seems to be a thing that happens to him to the oldies it was sweating and an oldie so trump had this thing where he was talking about how uh white people are treated during racial sensitivity training and he said if you were a certain person you had no status in life it was a reversal um reversal of fortunes a reversal so he's just saying that like that's how

we're supposed to treat people of color. Not, not the whites, the whites were treated for them. That's not our spot. Don't no reverses. This is an Uno. Skip to back to me. Here we go. Uno white calling it draw for,

uh, Biden with the, I was raised in the suburbs was, uh, just a dope bar. come on, man. I was raised in the suburbs, man. Didn't you just find yourself like in the suburbs was a just a dope bar uh come on man i was raised in the suburbs man didn't you just find yourself like in the in the midst of the chaos because there were so many of these points where i think collectively as a country we just i mean we knew again this is

this is the deal here but where they would just scream over each other over nothing and that like neither of them had a real clear grasp on how to like rhetorically rebut what the other person said and it just like turned over this tug of war over airtime it it just was so it was just so disheartening especially when they were talking about like racism and policing that i was just like you know you got chris wallace out here being like do you think blacks are unfairly treated by the popos joe biden you have two minots go it was just like i could not believe just i mean i can believe because like i was tweeting america is just a long-running debate about racism where the only participants are white people. And we have these people coming in with the just completely out of

their depth and skimming over like these really serious issues where on some level, yes, it was nice to see Trump sweat or Biden yell at him to shut up, man man but then you get these like really sobering moments where i'm watching as somebody uh and many people in other communities are watching where you're like this shit like is gonna fuck up people's lives and then to have some dudes who are so disconnected from it try and explain to each other what what racism is or what the validity of teaching people about the actual historical facts of this country are it it was so fucking icky but hey you know uh much expected yeah i mean people are pointing out that trump basically chris wallace asked him to disavow his white supremacist supporters.

And Trump said, proud boys, stand back and stand by, which just sounds like, you know, he's about to give them orders. And then later, when he was asked to talk about like what would happen as the election is being decided in the days as votes are being counted. Uh, and he wouldn't say he wouldn't let people or wouldn't say that he would tell people not to take to the streets. So, I mean,

everything that we fear about the election seems to be, uh, fully reflected in literally everything. He said verbal confirmation, confirmation, so to speak. And then, yeah, I guess we'll see how the vice presidential debates go. That'll have at least a bit more energy to them. But either way, at the end of the day, not really talking about real stuff.

It's just fucked up on so many levels because there's such real shit going on that needs to be addressed and it devolving into fight at hometown buffet with the dudes in the velcro shoes is just a fucking heartbreaker you know they we're going into this debate without any kind of true financial additional assistance for people who aren't able to work during this pandemic and actually looking at how to keep people afloat and meanwhile it's just like don't call me stupid jackass you went to community college in delaware like yeah it's so there's this you know it's it's

so it has like every fucked up dimension and nuance of how ugly this country is and also includes all the weird things that are wrong with like the horse race mentality of the presidential election but yeah drink when he says china he didn't really say china so you know just once just once yeah i guess the the things that will stay with me are uh biden just missing opportunities like let letting trump i mean he made some points on covet 19 but it was it still seemed like he like didn't really nail him down on covet 19 and then uh just biden and wallace like laughing nervously uh or yeah there was one he's like i i'm trying to stop him as well sir it's like why are you doing relax with that chris wallace karen finney pointed out never seen a debate where the moderator has to say to a president

hold on mr president you're gonna really like this question which is it's like yeah man that's that's not good that's not how uh these are supposed to go um and i i think it's like actually dangerous that uh wallace let him let let some of the like election fraud uh myth shit like go he like the president was talking about election conspiracy theories where like there were ballots and creeks and like ballots and you know i think it's waste baskets we we had heard about the waste basket thing where there were like supposedly ballots uh and that has been looked into and people were like yeah it's not uh that's not a systemic fraud like yeah it's a human error if anything right um but yeah that that's like a big that's a problem if people think that there's uh an election conspiracy happening i don't like that that seems like one of those things that you shouldn't really let just stand. Yeah.

Let hang out there. Well, you know, he called for his white supremacists to back him up. He confirmed all the things we thought about how he was going to address the election. It was just. Yeah, that's why at the end of the day, like it's just one of those really dark things where regardless of like the presidential election, it was just such a, I don't know, man, it was a real low point just to witness that shit. And you're like, yeah, this is, this is it. Watching it play out, real shit going on. And we're just watching like two elders argue about who's like cooler and the The stakes couldn't be more real for so many people that just don't look like them.

Yes. Yeah. Well, that's our debate. Recap. Debate coverage. Pew, pew. I wanted to see what Fox News had to say, but I honestly

am too... I don't have the fortitude to even take it in at this point. I'm sure it'll be interesting to see what the right takes away from this. I think the thing that I've mostly been seeing is they took the steamrolling as a victory.

Oh, really? Yeah. Or at least on Twitter, I saw a lot of takes from some people be like oh my god like biden's he can't get a word in but again it doesn't even matter i don't think because at the end of the day it's all about people rooting for the you know consistent again de facto white supremacy right um all right well let's take another break and we'll be back with some brain bleach. Back to the past.

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

They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts

And we're back. What a debate. What a... Wow. Miles, you seem... Sobered up real quick. Better? Took a shower. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, look, we don't know how it went. Yeah, no clue. I think the one thing we know... I don't know. Why am I trying to recap a debate that we'll have just recapped? I think we're good. This is where we're at. This is like Tenet, the fucking podcast right now.

Right. I don't know who's moving forwards or backwards where do i send the flowers by the way for miles's funeral to her majesty we'll have that start to go for her majesty yeah more for not because like i'm just for her shame to have to say that she's with me uh all right well as unfortunate as it was to watch Miles pee himself like Bradley Cooper in A Star is Born. There's your win. Do it in the debate, Jack.

Biden fucking crushed it, dude. And that's why I'm feeling really good in about november bro um let's let's do a little brain bleaching yeah uh let's talk about some things that are not our crumbling democracy such as uh all right so i don't know how I feel about this story Miles, you added it to our brain bleach section Why don't you tell the people the good news I mean, it's just interesting news It's not like objectively good or bad I just like this because it's a head scratcher And it immediately sparks

A thousand thoughts in a direction That has nothing to do with this country So, Barry Jenkins The man, the Academy award winner behind moonlight and i didn't he also went and adapted one for if beale street could talk um anyway this man you know he's out here he's he's a cinema he's a cinema genius um so it was very interesting to see now that Barry Jenkins of Moonlight fame has been tapped to direct the sequel to the live action Lion King film. So I'm like, wait, what the, what, what, what, what? The one that had Beyonce in it, uh, that they're, they're doing a sequel with Barry Jenkins at the helm.

So I didn't realize it. I mean, I knew that the lion king did well but it did over like a one and a half billion dollars so you know disney was like okay so sequel now i don't care what it's about and just put some other names on it so we can get this thing going we don't know anything about what this film is but this is where it gets interesting so keep in mind we have barry jenkins who's just does amazing work dramatic Right. But to bring this mind into The Lion King, this is from the Deadline article. They're keeping the logline under wraps,

but I'm told that the story will further explore the mythology of the characters, including Mufasa's origin story. Moving the story forward while looking back conjures memories of The Godfather Part II, set on the African plain with a continuation of the tradition of music that was a key part of the 94 animated classic.

Blah, blah, blah. He's doing the Godfather 2 of The Lion King? I mean, okay. Wow. I did not think The Lion King, I think we've talked about this on the show, I did not think the live action

Lion King was good and I think it was bad for reasons that can't really be fixed if you're staying in the same universe because the animals aren't good actors even though you can make it look like they're talking they're not good at emoting uh in a way that we can recognize because that's a dunstan from dunstan checks in you well thank you obviously there's the dunstan clause where dunstan checks in get dunstan gives one of the great performances of all time but thank you uh the lion king for whatever reason didn't translate you know jungle book had at least a human at the center it worked a little

bit better uh this might sound speciesist. And also it just was a shot for shot remake. So that is the one thing that, you know, Barry Jenkins could address. I'm sure he, his visual imagination set loose in that setting could be very cool. I don't know,

man. It's just a little bit dystopian that like every great artist gets filtered through the Disney universe in some way now I know is it gonna get super like heavy though you know what I mean where he's like look man you need to talk about you know how Scar ended up like

he did you know what I mean he was kind of gonna do some things he couldn't really share with Mufasa you know because of the way the plane was set up back then I just don't i just i could see i don't know there's a version though that could be just so out there that i'd be like yo this is fucking wild because like now i'm attaching really dramatic stories to these animals but it's disney so i can't imagine there will be something that will you know boggle blow a child's mind out of the water by like casting their gaze upon it uh super producer anahosia does point out that there was a lion king

sequel the animated version simba's pride but had nothing to do i'm assuming that is not what they are going to do no unfortunately because that would have been about simba and nala and whatever the reuniting her or something yeah it's just a lot of uh birth scenes actually that good and that was my complaint is that there wasn't enough birth yeah i swear to god no bit i thought that i looked at it really quickly the the prep for this show like early this morning and i thought it said a live action larry king and then i stopped looking at it and just the idea that he's so old and disgusting that like right they would have to they'd have to animate him like in order for like he like he was an animal in the

serengeti like he has the same humanity in him that a like a beast would have and i think that one and a half billion dollars for that wouldn't be enough i think they would need more money what the larry king show would look like if they use practical effects like rather than cgi that would be unbelievable they turn him into that like octopus from uh that like that comic book yeah no no remember he fought spider-man or something right oh yeah i like that too yeah um live action larry king wow that would be that would be something yeah i still like that hey i'm sorry i'm sorry i just put you in that position i'm sorry that jack o'brien who's a very very experienced and talented host that I

said something that made him close the segment with that wow that would be something I put him in that position is what that thought did you're crushing it how about that and how about that well I'll be

I mean that is I'm trying to trademark my transitions well I'll be. I mean, that is, I'm trying to trademark my transitions. Well, I will be right back. Another thing that I don't know quite how to feel about is that Mountain Dew is going to be expanding into the world of hot sauces. Partnering with Joel Embelle and bead what an interesting combo yeah i mean he already the most embarrassing series of commercials of the nba playoffs because

they were assuming that the sixers would be making a run deep into the playoffs so we're wrong all these rounds they're like jo Joel Embiid said, because your gifts don't pay sufficient tribute to the majesty of his game that you're in the middle of watching right now. Uh, and so like we need, we created new gifts for you to just like respond to how super awesome Joel is. Meanwhile, they got swept out of the first round. But they kept running those ads throughout. So embarrassing. And to double down on that, they're like, well, when people think of Joel Embiid and Mountain Dew, they think of hot sauce. Damn right. So they are working with the sauce experts

at Iburn, which I don't know. I guess some cool hot the hot sauce is is the deal the apple's roasting app uh so they are open it up to votes folks uh now obviously we want you to vote in the november election but like you know if you had to choose one yeah yeah if you had to choose one this is important that uh we get this right we gotta get this right i mean because it's not like we're voting to like actually end this like system of oligarchy and like white supremacy so right you might as well vote for something that you can experience in your lifetime the the hotness of amount to actual change uh two things you know the comedy rule of twos Mountain Dew fucking hot sauce. Actual change. Two things, you know, the comedy rule of twos.

One, hot sauce. There's already a basketball player named Hot Sauce. He was a streetball legend from and one, of course. So missed opportunity. Ray for all. There, yes. Oh, Ray for all. Oh, no, he was skipped to my Lou, right?

We will have no and one mixtape slander in this pod. No, we can't have that misinformation out there. I don't know if you've had Mountain Dew as an adult, but it messes you up. mixtape slander in this pot. We can't have that misinformation out there. I don't know if you've had Mountain Dew as an adult, but it messes you up. It's crazy. Your body cannot handle it. I was on a film set a few years ago, and I had one.

It was the same feeling I had in college when I tried a Four Loko before it was regulated. It makes you upset, but also real excited it's just not a good feeling and people just drink that and it was green too not even code red or live wire or you know i was just reminiscing the other day kid or whatever missing kid whatever their flavors are i remember that when code when code red came out me and my boy nick

we were so excited that there was a new Mountain Dew flavor. And it was launching with, I forget, maybe the Grilled Stuff Burrito. This is like 2002, I believe. And we were so excited to get this shit. We were driving home from Taco Bell. And then we got in a car wreck and got Mountain Dew Code Red all over ourselves. And I just remember, we were safe, thank God. And it wasn't an accident where airbags deployed.

Well, that's a DUI if you're drinking Code Red and driving. I know, but it did, you know, but it was like a, you know, straight up, like, head-on, little light head-on accident at an intersection. And we just kept laughing because we were like, look at us, bro. Like, we were so excited. Now we've got Mountain Dew all over the inside of your mom's act legend, and we can't do anything about it.

But, yeah, the thing that i do we'll say about joel and bead when he goes on um uh hot ones he's built for it like oh really yo he i remember the when he was first on it he was like did any other nba players drink water because tell me i'm the only one that didn't drink anything throughout the whole thing and like he was like yeah dude easy first yeah you were he's like no tell me unequivocally i am the guy and he's like yeah because at first what's his name sean the dude who's running it he's always like yeah you know i notice all the athletes get really competitive when they come on here sort of like and the way they look at this is not just to have fun it's like a challenge and he's like so it's interesting to see you say it

he's like answer my question was i the only person to not drink he's like yes see you say it. And he's like, answer my question. Was I the only person to not drink? He's like, yes, yes. You were the only person to not drink. And he goes, that's right, because African people can handle their spices. Not to say that them shits look spicy as fuck. Because he did the one that's like two million Scovels. Two million Rory Scovels. Rory Scovels.

Wow, that's not nearly enough Rory Scovels. Because I could take so many more. He's probably, side note, the funniest comedian I've ever seen. Joel Embiid? He was just... Yes, Joel Embiid. If only he took the same fervor to eating hot sauce as he does to his relationship with Ben Simmons. I mean, and I was stoked to see Rory Scovel on the cover of 2K19, too.

Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Anyways, let's move-hmm. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Anyways, let's move on. That is so inside. Let's move on from insulting Mountain Dew and talking about Joel Embiid before I start crying. Okay. Chadwick Boseman gave Sienna Miller part of his pay on 21 Bridges.

She was just like, yeah, I guess I'll tell tell the story now he's like the nicest human being in the world he wanted her uh he was a producer on that movie she didn't really want to do it she her uh daughter was about to start school she wanted to like spend more time with her family and he was like no we really need you for this role uh and she was like all right here's a number that is absurd and that you shouldn't pay and the studio was like yeah right and he was like no we're gonna i'm gonna take a pay cut so that we can pay you that because that's what you're worth um she was like he's super and like didn't want to draw attention to it and kept it under wraps but also you know worked with her and was like the kindest person she ever worked with and she said she shows that to her coat her other uh acting

co-stars and was like what do you think of that and like the other people like get real quiet they're like huh that's pretty good good. It's an uplifting one. And then it just bums me out again to know like Chadwick Boseman, like he knew sort of the state of his own health throughout all these things. And like, not to say that that's motivating him to do the right thing, but throughout all of it, like he's just like leaving this mark. Yeah.

And it's, ah, well, what about Mountain Dew coffee or something, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Green coffee. Had you guys heard the story that cheese is as addictive as cocaine? I had a hunch. Wait, what? There was some story making the rounds on Facebook that cheese is as addictive as cocaine.

It was a study that was backed by a doctor, but it turns out that doctor was from a veganism... He's a coke addict. Was from a cocaine advocacy group. No, it was a veganism advocacy group. So it was just like... His number one rival to the drug cocaine, cheese. We gotta take out cheese.

Yeah, exactly. But it's not true so oh but that i mean but that is you know again that's the kind of headline that we have fallen for in the past just because we're like yep yep yep i believe that because there's enough there where it's funny like whenever you ask people i feel like one of the more common things when people saying they wouldn't be able to fully commit to being like 100% vegan is that is cheese. Oh, for sure. Like some people were like, I think I could do it.

Everything's like cheese though. I like cheese. Like I don't, I could, I will. Cause you know, uh, salty impossible burger with cheese on it.

I'm sorry. You know, to fuck, fuck around like that, but it's good. Yeah. But have you you tried cashew vomit? Salt?

Oh, yeah. Some of the cheese, they're still working it out. They're figuring it out. The Dai, they're dialing it in over with the Dai cheese and stuff, but there's just something about an old block of old milk that

gets my blood going. It's the one thing preventing me from going vegan. It's just crazy. It's like, no, I think you can overcome that. The only reason why I'm not vegan is a ribeye steak. God, if it wasn't for rib bleeding rare ribeye steak,

it's like, yeah, then you aren't going to be vegan. That's just not for you. It's okay. Blake, it has been a pleasure as always having you where can people find you and follow you they uh pleasure is all mine i love doing this and um they can find me at blakewexler.com there's nothing really on there right now but uh at blake wexler blake's takes for god's sakes podcast and uh also I'm doing standup for the first time in seven months on October 7th at the Punchline. It's outside outdoor show. But yeah, you know, it's different for me being a performer because I'm so far away from everyone and I have,

you know, my microphone. So look at their guidelines, look at some photos of some of their outdoor shows if you're see if you're comfortable with it. So yeah, I would hate for people to go and be like, oh, this isn't something I'm comfortable with. But yeah, I'm excited to do that. Maybe not the best plug for a show that I've ever done, but October 7th, 8 o'clock at the Punchline. Yeah. You always do have to preface any of the plugs for your shows as if you're comfortable with it uh of course even during a non-pandemic it's like listen if you there's an 80 chance you will feel ripped off uh after the show and that's not on me once you walk through those doors so let me just say maybe i won't have it that night i probably won't there's gonna be some personal boundary issues

during this show a lot of uncomfortable eye contact. So just, you know, if I will forget you're there for most of the show, I will not realize anyone else is there. And yeah, I could have just done it from home, to be honest. Yeah, I don't hear or see the audience. And that's why I'm so good. Blake, is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying? There is. All right. So my tweet that I want to promote is from this guy named Brendan Cooney.

He's a comedian in LA. I don't even really know him at all, but he does these really inside tweets about Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank. And his tweet says, if you don't vote, dot, dot, dot, they will. Then it's like photos of the owners of Flappers Comedy Club. These two people who

look like they own a comedy club called Flappers. I'm sorry. I don't even know why I said that one, but it makes me laugh so hard. That's so funny. It's so funny. Since the lockdown, but it makes me laugh so hard. So that one. That's so funny. It's so funny.

Since the lockdown, sometimes I drive by flappers because I was trying to get Ikea meatballs. Oh, of course. To be completely fair over there in Burbank. They have curbside for that? No, they don't. Then they are just like, please, sir. People have better priorities than this. And do they just give you the ingredients for the meatballs

and you have to assemble it yourself with a weird wrench? Well, you can if you wanted to. No, you can get the, yeah, exactly. But like when you go there, they have a sign outside flappers. It's just on a big white sheet. And it's the sheet that's from Clerks. If you remember the film Clerks,

when Randall can't get these like metal door to come up, he has to put a sheet outside to let people know that the quick stop is still open and like with shoe polish it says I assure you we are open that that like basically an homage to that is hanging out in front of flappers and I think

they're using it to like sell some of like their produce and things like that but I don't know if it's still there but yes I was like okay okay that's a weird clerk's reference for absolutely not many people but yeah it's as far as rooms go it's one of the best physical spaces you can watch comedy in but the business model you just summed it up perfectly i don't it's like what are you doing what is that did you put any thought into this whatsoever well i guess i'll never fucking perform there again. Yeah, just let people come in and we make money off ha-has.

But I guess not. Miles, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Twitter, Instagram, at Miles of Gray. Gray? Gray. That's what it is. Miles of Gray.

A little late. I think I'm a little predictive. A little old me. Drunkenness from the debate that I'm about to watch. Yeah, so on Instagram. Also, my other podcast for 20 day fiance if you like 90 day fiance and check out uh fight island i was on there with past guest sam wiles where we did some hypothetical battles between juniors so anyone who's a junior we were facing off uh and i get i take this basically hypothetical battle between carl's juniorr and hank williams jr far too seriously trying to determine who will win and on if you want to if you want some next

level 5d thinking tune into that uh because i i devoted far too much energy to that segment than i should but it's hilarious a couple tweets that i like first one is from at ben vile one thing this pandemic has made me realize is how strange it was that in the before times It's hilarious. A couple of tweets that I like. First one is from at Ben Vile. One thing this pandemic has made me realize is how strange it was that in the before times, people were expected to go to work slash show up to things when suffering or symptomatic with a cold or flu. Yeah, that 100% is really like when you think about it, it's like, no, I'm good. I'm good. And we would be like, yeah, okay, cool.

They're sick. Yeah. Way to slow John. it's like no i'm good i'm good and we would be like yeah okay cool they're sick yeah way to soldier on i feel like slowly over the last maybe a year i've gotten more into after like being in like other workplaces where one person sick has actually contributed to everyone getting sick i've been like no no no no no no out you go out you go don't need to be tough today gotta be safe today uh so yeah that's a hilarious one another one is from jalen rose at jalen rose one of the most he's just a legend okay i think i know what this tweet is if you know anything about me you know i'm bald you know my fucking hairline is failing like the maginot line did

in world war ii okay so this is jalen rose there's a picture of him with his hands clasped okay with his head down and if you know something about jaylen rose his fucking hair is sci-fi levels of thick and wavy i don't know if i'm looking at the joy division album cover with those waves it's wild so he's sitting there like this like almost like in a prayer stance with a wonderful part shaved in and it says mood realizing it's legal to write off 70k to your hairstylist. Hashtag folk. But yeah, my man's hair. Whoa! He gets a haircut every day. That's true.

Yeah, he gets a haircut every single day. He should. Like with that hair. And it shows. It shows as a compliment. Yeah. All right, some tweets I've been enjoying. Daniel Kibblesmith tweeted,

is it true that Karen Pence has to seal up Mike Pence's penis hole with a drop of candle wax before he leaves the house? At PleaseBeNice tweeted, the pleasure was all mine. Okay, don't make it weird. And then TamingFredSavage,

his Twitter handle suggests that you do the impossible, tweeted, inventor of fish sticks, but what to call them? Guy who named the meatball. What shape are they?
