guy with a wind gun across the land. And his daring leaf exploding made him a legend Jacko blowing east to west go his restless hands that's courtesy of

Zeitgang and I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host Mr. Miles Gray cause I wanted that gray tell me why he can't talk about Tuscany tell me why he can't talk about Tuscany. Tell me why he

gotta impeach this cream. Tell me why cold brew better never go away. But I want it that way. Oh,

just chills down my spine. I'm over here loosening my collar. Wow, goosebumps, goose pimples. Shout out to Add Stanley Attitude for that one. And I'm guessing this is a Stanley from the Office reference based on your avatar. And shout out to Zeitgang. Just T-D-Z-A-K-A. Okay.

That's who. I just said shout out to Zeitgang. Yeah, shout out to Zeitgang. I do like to shout out all our fans love the fans we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by that voice you're hearing the hilarious

and talented very first face on Mount Zykemore Jamie Loftus L is for the way you look at me. All right. O is for the only one I see.

F is for my page on WikiFeet. T is for Rat Teens. It's on IMDb. I made it in 2017. U is for Unique Takes on TDZ. Yeah. S is for Team Dry Scaps, which is why I think that Beetlejuice comes. Yeah.

Boom. Boom. The end. Thank you. Thank you. It was out of my range. Couldn't go up, couldn't go down. The range. Thank you. Thank you. Yuma, yuma, yuma. Didn't try to say. It's out of my range. Couldn't go up, couldn't go down. The range is all subjective.

Kind of rapped it instead. I think honestly, yes. I feel like what the problem was, that song is not actually in your range. Right. That's true. They made a mistake. Yeah. They made a mistake.

They made a mistake by not rapping it. That was a mistake. That was a lesson that we all learned. He rapped it. Who was that from? Oh, that was from Steve. S-H-3-3-V. Well done, Steve.

He also said, I'll be honest, it needs work. And I think that we just learned that it does not need work. It does not. The source material needs work. Perfect as is. Yes. You know, that's the thing that like a lot of writers of hit songs, they'll say, you know, I just dashed this off in a second.

I didn't put much work into it. It's a piece of crap, but it ends up like getting out of your own way. That's what makes a hit song. That's beautiful. Like we just heard from Jamie. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment, Jamie,

but first we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We now know the brand of makeup Trump uses, among other things. We're going to talk about Bloomberg's truly revealing interview with Gayle King. We're going to talk about Mayor Pete working for McKinsey, the CIA of capitalism. We're going to talk about the president. We're going to talk about the Republicans. We're going to talk about Bill Barr. We're going to talk about all that shit, that UPS truck driver at the end of last week,

Uber's terrifying stats, Clint Eastwood's upcoming MAGA screed, all of that and plenty more. But first, Jamie, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? My search history includes this week Italian pizza guy sign. Oh. I was looking for it. Did you see?

I tweeted it out. No. I was looking for a very specific piece of Chuck E. Cheese decor from, I would say, maybe the late 80s. I've seen pictures of it. It was in my Chuck E. Cheese growing up. I'm like, I wonder, because now they're taking all the old shit out. It's a good time to be collecting stuff. Also, shout out to Stuff with my friend Steve. Also, someone in Zeitgang, I just want to shout out to stuff as with my French Steve. Also someone in Zeitgang,

I just want to shout out really quick. The last time I was on and I talked about the animatronics and how I'm looking for one, someone in an undisclosed location who wishes to remain anonymous, mailed me one of the guitars that appears on stage at Chuck E. Cheese. They were able to swipe it from a location. And now I have a cheese guitar hanging on my wall.

But I was looking for an Italian pizza guy sign. And it does, I found one. I have to drive to Michigan to get it, so I can't have it. But it says on it, it's Pasquale the chef. And on it, it says, Italian pizza guy, I've got a pizza. Oh my God.

And then there's four pizza chefs. It's supposed to be like an album cover, like a platinum album called I've got a pizza by Italian pizza guy. Where is it at? Is that like a play on In a Gata da Vita? Is that what it is? Yeah.

I just know that it costs $350. No, it does not. Where? It costs so much money and you can only pick it up in Michigan. Where in Michigan? Oh, I was going to guess Italy because it's so authentically Italian. It very much is.

Wait, where is it? It says local pickup only $350. Only for the low, low price of? In Shelbyville, Michigan. They refuse to ship. Shelbyville? Where's Shelbyville? Like the Simpsons? Yeah. Wow, Michigan, they refuse to ship. Shelbyville? Where's Shelbyville? Like the Simpsons?

Yeah. Wow. It's right next to Springfield. Yeah. Well, who knows? I mean, you know, the Zeitgang runs far and wide. Who wants to go on an errand to Shelbyville, Michigan? We'll prepay for it, pick it up, just package it and ship it.

$350, but there's only one. They've got the market coin. I'm sure a listener out there has access to something like this. If we, as a community, come together to locate some of these casted away items from the bygone old school Chuck E. Cheese, we can find these things. Avocado to pizza. Avocado to pizza. There was a dude on Instagram, the homie Jacob hits me up and DMs me photos of Taco Bell drive-thru signs. No way.

He's like, yo, you want these? I was like, bro, I would pick them shits up. Because hiking is a powerful force. Yeah. Force of nature. Do you think he went out and stole them to impress you? Nah, nah. They were-

Like that guy who shot Reagan for Jodie Foster? Apparently, the signs were decommissioned, and some kid who worked at Taco Bell handed them off to his homie, and he was like, yo, I don't know. I got these signs. I love it. Jamie, what's something that's underrated? Something that's underrated is being a fair weather fan. Okay.

I like it. It's comfortable. I was just telling Miles, for the next two weeks, I'm going to get really into the Star Worms. The Star Worms? Yeah. really into the Star Worms. The Star Worms? Yeah, Star Worms. I'm a big fan until December 21st, and then I forget that they ever happened. I don't care about their fandom.

I don't care about the lore. I've watched two of them. I've never seen two consecutive Star Worms. I've seen, I think, one from each trilogy, and I'm like like I don't know what's going on are you saying star worms or star warms it's warm in space it warms your heart to watch them

which is why it's just a helpful what is it not pneumatic mnemonic device I'm going to see you can't remember wars warms it's warm So Star Wars, I'm going to see. You can't remember wars. Wars. Oh, what's it called?

Okay, got it. It's warm. Oh, it's Star Wars. Yeah. I'm going to get really into Star Wars for the next two weeks. Yeah, you were saying earlier that you're excited about the rise of Skywalker because of the character Mike Skywalker. Mike Skywalker, Luke's brother. Not to freak anyone out, but I was the one that bought John Boyega's script on eBay.

He famously left it underneath the hotel bed. I bought it. Mike Skywalker. They're going to introduce. It's kind of, I mean, I know that they did a lot setting up a female protagonist, but they really undercut her in this new one. The Rise of Skywalker, it's Mike. It's about Mike.

It's his brother, Mike. Mike. Luke's brother, Mike. But everyone pronounces it like mike mike very the very specific way we're part of the country's that in where it was like mike mike mike but mike mike anyway let us know is that philly yeah i don't know definitely uh on the east east side uh what's something you think is overrated the thing is overrated is releasing a podcast it's hard did you know i i've been so the last time i was here i also was like hey my mensa podcast is coming out very soon guess what it's not out yet you know why because releasing a podcast is really hard they're uh yeah i've been like so frustrated this like past week and a half because i have it done

and then you have to go on all that Submit it, get it accepted You have to go to pray to Steve Jobs' ghost and it's crazy Well, how much blood did you offer at the altar? I don't have a lot of blood left I'm almost completely dry This time of year is a bad time to need my blood And you're team dry scabs? I'm team dry dry. I'm like, this time of year is a bad time to need my blood.

And you're team dry scabs? I'm team dry scabs. I'm a clodder. I'm a clodder through and through, so I don't like to bleed out. And so I didn't offer that much, and so it's just been taking a long-ass time. It's weird in the instructions that they say you have to offer

a human baby's worth of blood. But they say don have to offer a human baby's worth of blood. Yeah. But they say don't actually kill a human baby. But just that's the measurement. But that's what you should be picturing in terms of volume. Depending on which Necronomicon you learned off of.

That's a lot of syllables. The third edition began to define what a baby's worth of blood is. It's about two liters. Okay. I mean, I could spare, but I should have offered installments or something. You gotta fill up a big old Shasta two liter bottle. Pour it in Steve Jobs' grave. Imagine human baby's worth and then parentheses Shasta bottle.

Or Shasta bottle. One Shasta bottle. If you wring a baby out over a Shasta bottle, you will fill it. Shout out to all the parents out there who this is bumming out. The idea of someone walking around with a Shasta bottle,

two liter Shasta bottle full of blood, but with the Shasta label still on it, I get a big kick out of it. It's not what you think. It's not Shasta. No, yes. Ew, Shasta. It's blood.

It's my blood. It's blood. Ew, Shasta. It's blood. It's my blood. It's clotted cow blood. Oh, a bottle of clotted blood. You mean black pudding? Yuma, yuma, yuma. What is a myth? Oh, here's a myth. It's been a great year for women.

This is a myth that comes up every year everyone's like oh this is the year it's been a good year we nailed it guys we did it we let elizabeth banks direct this year we did it we're even i just found out so i have not been really keeping up with the kardashians the kardashians first of all and that is I've been paying a legal fee for that and but I I found out that you know like there's this I don't know it's my least favorite current um pop culture trend but Bombshell is about to come out right and I'm that's about um the like Fox News Me Too moment right it's It's the first big movie. It's about the Me Too movement. Oh, the movie bombshell.

The movie bombshell. And I was like, oh, I'm excited. It's got a great cast. It's an interesting story. And then I found out it's being directed by the director of the Austin Powers trilogy. And I ripped all of my skin off. I like, it is, it is not a great.

Jay Roach. Also the director of Meet the Parents and I think Road Trip. And I believe Dinner for Schmucks. Who watched Dinner for Schmucks and is like, this is the guy that's got to tell the Me Too story. It just pisses me off so much. It's been a great year for guys who directed really like big blockbuster comedies in the late 90s and early 2000s making a dramatic turn. It's fucking bullshit, man. I wonder if it's because it's either those comedies or then movies like Recount or Game Change that was about the Palin thing.

He directed the Dalton Trumbo movie. Trumbo movie. Trumbo. But there's no conceivable reason why this movie needed... It's not even like a... I don't know shit about Jay Roach. I hope he's a lovely person. But I'm like, that... You fucking came... It's also written by a man.

There's no women involved. It's just so frustrating. Another bad year for women. Despite it all, even though I think it's how the studios are like, this will be great, it's like a Me Too movie, but then they still can't get past their habits of how the industry works. It's like, yeah, get Jay Roach on it. Some other dude to write it.

Roach has got this. He's met a woman before. It's just like the qualifying factor of being like, well, he hasn't raped a woman, so he can probably tell the story. He can tell the story, yeah. He innately understands these kind of power dynamics. Oh, it's exhausting.

The only way you can be a female director is if you've already been a famous woman for 20 years. That is the current strategy. It's just like exhausting. Fine, she can direct a movie. Alright! Okay, well, what blockbusters has she been in? Right. No, this is her film one at Sundance.

Right, yeah, yeah. Was she on Friends? More on that later. Exhausting. So, yeah, declared another lose for us this year. 2020, what do you think? 2020, there's no way. It's our year, baby. No no way it's gonna be a good

year yeah they're also like there was that study that came out the poll where it was like and nobody wants to vote for elizabeth warren because she's a woman and and that's that and that's that and then she started like plummeting in the polls because people were like, well, she's not electable because we're all sexist. Right. Yeah. How can I be sexist? I love my wife. Well, in better news for women, Melania Trump gets her own washing machine at the Trump household.

Because her husband's makeup. Because her husband. Wait, really? Yeah, we have kind of an inside report from the Washington Post. Trump household because her husband's makeup because her yeah her husband so we really yeah we have kind of an inside report uh from the Washington Post about like how Trump runs his resorts uh what it's like to kind of hang with him around his golf club well and also just and also his makeup well and the it was the story is sort of born out of this thing about the just the hypocrisy of his rhetoric on immigration yet he has a lot he's had many undocumented people working for him and so they're kind of the the article is really uh it's got all kinds you'll laugh you'll cry the the just sort of the experience of undocumented people who've been working for him

goes from sort of like it's weird that he would say stuff like this because we work for him very closely and he wouldn't like, it was never like this. But then when he became president, people at like Mar-a-Lago and members would begin to like, of like verbally abuse the staff and be like, they're like, what the hell are you doing here? I thought, I thought you guys were going to go. He's like, I might have to call immigration on you. Like people are subjected to jokes like that, even if they weren't undocumented. And part of that, too, was just sort of hearing from a few of the people that worked for him as housekeepers. And, yes, you realize he's very, very particular about all kinds of things, whether it was apparently in his closet. He has to have six identical golf outfits laid out six white polo shirts six pairs of beige

pants six neatly ironed pairs of boxer shorts and now the white shirts they say is because he gets makeup smudges on the collars of his white yes white shirts but the pants like he has to be shitting himself right or i don't know i think maybe he's just that thing where he wants to feel like Cher Horowitz in Clueless where he like opens up a sick ass closet full of dope outfits oh I thought it would be like skid marks I thought it was like a skid marks issue does he wear underwear I feel like maybe he doesn't

boxers but ironed that's the thing I never understood who the fuck is gonna see your underwear like that right I've never thought underwear had to be ironed am i am i is that just a rich people thing like everything is ironed yeah because i was like i don't i can't imagine what the function of that is like i could barely iron a t-shirt underwear you nah no because then you just sit down and your ass wrinkles my ass wrinkles and my butt

crack wrinkles it not mine My ass is completely flat. So it never wrinkles my underwear. A cube ass. Jack puts on the wrinkliest underwear by the end of the day. They're starched and pressed. Like, what the fuck? A little cube ass over here.

A little cube ass. Cube ass getting junior. So then there are other sort of weird things of his. He loves Tic Tacs as well, but not an arbitrary amount. He wanted in his bedroom bureau at all times two full containers of white Tic Tacs and one container that was half full. That is so strange. That's weird. I don't even know what.

That's like some deep. Right. Two containers full, one one half maybe so it always feels like you got two on deck right like you eat from the half full one right and maybe he doesn't like to crack a new one a freshie open i don't know i'm just trying to think of like how i would like my own too hard to open well in my mind how the hell are you supposed to work one of these things it would feel baller if i knew i had two Tic Tac canisters on deck fully. Right.

But then get three Tic Tac canisters. That's maybe one of the more relatable things I've ever heard. Look, man, why am I on trial here? And then the other thing is- Speaking of relatable. The same rule applied to his Bronx Colors brand face makeup from Switzerland that Trump would slather on. Again, same rules, two full, one half. Two full containers.

How big? Are they like buckets? So a lot of people began kind of- Did he just stick his head in? Like investigating, like which one is it? They do know the color. It's BHC06, and it really is an orange color. They call it-

Wait, why does it say boosting? Well, that's... Oh, boosting. Yeah, it's a hydrating concealer, but then they suspect it might be this HDTV foundation he's actually using because it's so rust colored, as everyone describes the makeup stains.

It looks, though, like something that you could get at CVS, right? Oh, sir. Bronx Colors? Yeah. From Switzerland? From Switzerland. I have no idea. I don't know.

Maybe it's just the package design. I thought he'd be like Ben Nye. You know, like what you wear in high school theater? What's Ben Nye? Ben Nye is like the iconic high school theater makeup guy. I thought he would just be like Ben Nye Orange. Bill Nye's brother? Yeah, much like Luke and Mike Skywalker.

And then also, the other thing is he likes Irish Spring soap, but he doesn't want it like, they don't throw it out until he whittles it down to a shard. He uses the same bar over and over. So he's incredibly wasteful of Tic-tac containers and face makeup, but, or maybe not wasteful of face makeup, that's just how much he uses, but then with soap he demands

that you not throw it away. It's Irish spring, baby. And then the other thing too is they say that Melania's dad gets a lot of his hand-me-downs because they're sort of built the same, like they wear the same size clothing and in 2013 he wore like a red baseball hat that trump had discarded to everyone they were like oh that he's not wearing that anymore he wore that on the

golf course trump pulled up to him and like just dressed him down in front of all these other golfers take the fucking hat off you fucking hack i wear the red hat around here yeah no literally because they're like oh shit it's because this thing, like only he can wear the red hat. That is... Anyway, Commander in Chief, salute. Orange and red clash also,

like it's just... I mean, tell that to Calgary Flames fans. Well, it's actually red and yellow. I was going to say, that is not the color palette of the Flames.

But you'd feel like it would, orange and red-ish, they're at least, they gradiate into one of another on the color spectrum. but flames. But you'd feel like it would, orange and red-ish, at least they gradiate into one of an other on the color spectrum. They do, but like face and head, it's just a bad look. Oh, yeah, like that. Face and head. The sources for the article were in Trump's villa when Melania's dad returned from being dressed down,

and he threw the hat on the ground and cursed Trump, which is just a fun image to imagine. Oh, what a respectful son-in-law. Yeah. Good guy. Fantastic employer. Yeah. Not to sort of take away from the thrust of the article, because a lot of it really has to do with how reliant he is on undocumented workers. Right.

And just even then too, like the added scrutiny, like they said it went from being a job. They're like, okay, it seemed like a place. It didn't matter that they were using like a fake social security number or whatever. But they say once he became president, it became so nerve wracking because now you have secret service. They have to fuck.

There's added scrutiny on top of all the people and like people wouldn't come to work because they didn't want to lie to like a government agent and give false identification and things like that. Because you could get like arrested for that. Yeah, and so it's just a, yeah, it's a really interesting read. Oh boy. Check it out.

We will put it in the footnotes. And we're going to take a quick break. 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.

Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share.

Daniel Thrasher.

hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 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. On 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.

And we're back. And Michael Bloomberg was interviewed by Gayle King. And, I don't know, pretty, he had some tepid takes uh dude he's just the fucking he's the centrist billionaire we all deserve yeah to fucking guide us into the flames of hell uh i was always like we need another centrist billionaire like you know his there's a lot his shit just like oh just i'm here let here. We'll take a few

highlights from this. Highlights? First, he's asked about Stop and Frisk about like, yeah, you know that really aggressive, racially motivated campaign to just harass people on the street for being black or brown. How'd that go?

And are you sorry? And he kind of goes into this thing explaining why, you know, Gail King suspects, like, are you only apolog he kind of goes in this thing explaining like why you know gail king is like suspects like are you only apologizing you've only started apologizing for stop and frisk since you've ran for president right and that leads down an interesting path stop and frisk you recently apologized for that some people are suspicious of the timing of your apology well the mark of a intelligent competent person is when they make a mistake, they have the guts to stand up and say, I made a mistake. I'm sorry. We don't question your belief that you made a mistake. I think the question is the timing that you realize you made the mistake. Well, nobody asked me about it until I started running for president. So come on.

Are you saying to people that you realize you had made a mistake before, but you just didn't mention it until now? I think we were overzealous at the time to do it um our intent was to do anything we could to stop the carnage the murder rate and what was surprising is when we stopped doing it a little bit we thought crime would go up it didn't it went down. Oh, okay. Should have, would have, and could have. What the? So that's surprising. When we stopped doing this racist thing, crime went down. But my worldview, my worldview are white people good, black and brown people bad. If we keep the black and brown people on their toes through police harassment, the crimes are going to stop.

Right. The way he told Gayle King to come on, I was like, do not talk to Gayle King like that. I wish she just ripped his face off. was like, come on, Gail. Do not talk to Gail King like that. I wish she just ripped his face off. But yeah, it is a great thing. I like how she did keep pressing. It was like,

oh, so you realized before? Right. Well, nobody asked me. Right. And I'm one of these people. I don't just tell people what my worldview is or what my values are unless I'm prompted

and it's beneficial for me to take an opposing view or something different than what I used to believe. Does that make sense? They're like, I wait until there's personal stakes. Otherwise, I just talk about the asses of the women who are in the room with me. That's what I talk about when I'm prompted.

What a self pat on the back too. You know, the mark of any intelligent human being, competent human being. Brilliant. Is to spot an opportunity. And milk it to the fullest extent. And then send out a woke signal. Deny, deny, deny. Yeah, it's...

Thank you, Gail. Then he... Look, if... Okay, sure. He didn't realize he had made a mistake. But then they start talking about how Cory Booker has pointed out, you know, the lack of diversity. And I bet you could, if you wanted to, listeners right now, what could Mike Bloomberg say about an African-American politician?

What's a compliment an old white guy would give to an African-American politician? Just keep that in your mind and listen to this exchange. The next debate is December. And Cory Booker said that it could possibly be on that debate stage, no one of color, there would be more billionaires in the race than black people. Is that a problem to you? Cory Booker endorsed me a number of times, and I endorsed Cory Booker a number of times. He's very well spoken. He's got some good ideas. It would be better the more diverse any group is, but the public is out there

picking and choosing and narrowing down this field. The truth of the matter is you had a lot of diversity in the candidates, some of whom were very very competent why they aren't there as you narrowed it down uh you have to talk to other people who are experts i don't know you gotta talk to other people you know but he's well spoken he's well spoken well that's so fucking loaded well anyway i mean i don't think there are many bloom supporters listening to this show, but hey. Are there genuinely, like, are there many Bloomberg supporters, period? That make less than $300,000 a year? Yes. I have no idea.

I think the people who are Bloomberg supporters are the ones who are doing that electability thing where they're like, well, they're electable. But that's just, again, a self-reflexive way of being like everybody thinks like I think and my thinking is racist and sexist. Right. I was like, is there is there any argument for like Bloomberg is like positioning himself as like a people's champ? There's like there's no way there's no real angle for that at all. No, just realistic. I'm the one who's like one of the other things he said in the interview was that he was looking at the field of candidates and was like, all these people

are going to get eaten alive by Trump. He's just wasting everyone's fucking time. The best was Gayle King, though, after she's like, are you saying that none of these people

could defeat Trump? He goes, well, no. I was saying I would do the best out of anyone. Right. Okay. Okay. Okay, great. Well, while we're on out of anyone. Right. Okay. Okay, buddy.

Okay, great. Well, while we're on the subject of the Democratic field, Mayor Pete, who the most talked about in the mainstream media. He's the family guy candidate. Yeah. The family guy candidate. He's McFarlane endorsed. Be careful.

Oh, is he? Okay. Never mind. We won't talk about him. I'm kidding. McFarlland runs this town, Jamie. He runs the hill. They do a lot of work for the CIA, the Pentagon, and they're very secretive. The way that you'll mostly hear this reported on is that Mayor Pete can't talk about his McKinsey time because he signed this super restrictive NDA. And he always refers back to it.

He's like, I can't talk about that because of the NDA. Sorry. Can't get into specifics because of the NDA. Sorry. Can't get into specifics because of the NDA. All I can say is I learned five really great traits that I can brag about from McKinsey. But McKinsey is basically the CIA with a business arm or the business arm of the CIA. And yeah, that makes pete kind of a weird candidate uh he wasn't before right but it it makes me like i don't a little suspicious so the way i first heard about uh mayor pete because i pointed him out as like sort of a contender uh like a year ago because i had heard obama call him out and it like now that you're hearing that Obama is like, well, we can't have Bernie because Bernie is too radical.

It just seems like Mayor Pete could be this deep state plant of the CIA agent as president. It's like the Billie Eilish of politics. He's an industry plant. Well, he's definitely the big industry eilish of politics he's an industry plant well he's definitely the big industry yes when you look at it i mean or plant or not his path like harvard oxford mckinsey he has by far the most billionaire uh donors well and then also when you look at like who mckinsey works with like enron purdue pharma saudi arabia so the worst of the worst of them well yeah and also like their whole

thing is like what we do is like we got we identify these really smart people they're consultants then like they we use like their uh educational background their expertise to then go around places and like a lot of people describe mckinsey as like the greatest legitimizer of mass layoffs yes and things like that. Oh, yeah. You know, that's just sort of like, we advise people on how to keep your bucks flowing. Yeah, they promote high CEO pay. They think that leaders should be paid more.

So the New York Times article is a little frustrating because it treats it as like, man, if only Mayor Pete could talk about the specifics. Unfortunately, this NDA makes it so he can't. How much do they talk about? He would not want to. But then they eventually get into the liabilities of it. But the way they say, beyond Mr. Buttigieg's agreement with McKinsey, this is something of an awkward moment to be associated with a consultancy,

especially if you happen to be a Democrat politician in an election year shadowed by questions of corporate power and growing wealth inequality. So it's like, yeah, it can be a little, quote, awkward because everyone's woke-ity-woke this year. And so, you know, that can be bad for him. But then they talk about specifically what is morally compromised about McKinsey. And they mention

the firm has long advocated business strategies like raising executive compensation, moving labor offshore, laying off workers to cut costs. And over the last couple years, reporting in the Times and other publications revealed episodes tarnishing McKinsey's once sterling reputation. And over the last couple of years, reporting in The Times and other publications revealed episodes

tarnishing McKinsey's once sterling reputation, its work advising Purdue Pharma on how to, quote, turbocharge opioid sales, its consulting for authoritarian governments in places like China and Saudi Arabia, and its role in a wide-ranging corruption scandal in South Africa. And then just this week, ProPublica, co-publishing with the Times, revealed that McKinsey consultants had recommended in 2017 that immigration and custom enforcement cut its spending on food for migrants and medical care for detainees. Right. So, yeah, well, I know he said that his position was dealing with like grocery companies or things like their grocery chains. Yeah, for the first year and a half.

That was true. But then he was over in Iraq and Afghanistan doing consultant work. So then, yeah, I think it's definitely good to know who he was working with. And I know he's been trying to do the transparent thing of being like, please tell them who this client list is so I don't have to keep abiding by this NDA. But a lot of other people have been comparing it to how Trump is like, you can't see my finances because they're under audit right now. Yeah, exactly.

Which they're not. My man, if not, or you can say something around it about how you feel about it now, or you can say something about McKinsey that might be like, yeah, honestly, I think a lot of the stuff that is aligned with or like that the company is known for. Look, I can't say those things due to my NDA. All I can say is I learned a lot of valuable lessons from McKinsey. That's what he always like frames it as like I learned a lot about the business world. And that's why I'm a centrist candidate.

And I learned the five power poses of capitalism, turbocharger, opioid sales. Exactly. Good Lord. So what's the president up to? We know what he was up to recently when he was at his golf course. Yeah. Well, now there's just like more phone records that have come out from the House Intelligence Committee. That just shows like, you know, Giuliani, he was saying like, yeah, this person that says like White House one is the president.

Like people calls to the president. Yeah. And negative one is his number right and they're just basically too perfect well when they look at it literally that's that's the truth that's his number is negative or dash one but he's negative one yeah minus one anyway the a lot of people are saying like those calls um especially they were happening around the time to pressure Ukraine, obviously to do the Biden investigations. But there's nothing about like what they're looking at that shows that any of those calls were encrypted or even shielded from any kind of surveillance from foreign intelligence agencies. So it's just like calling people up on their on his mobile phone. Yeah. And, you know, because, again, when you think about the dynamic, like,

for example, a lot of people saying, you know, it could have been Russia. I don't we don't know that it could have been. But if you just sort of think of what's going on between Ukraine, Russia, how Russia would love Ukraine to come to the negotiating table to end the hostilities and lift sanctions, it might it might be beneficial to them to understand where how close Ukraine is to getting aid that might make you more aggressive or whatever um but you know it all kind of like john kelly i think was kept trying to get him to get rid of his phone and be like dude you cannot talk on a fucking regular phone like right this just doesn't work you're the president people are going to try to hear

everything you say he got what they call like a hardened phone which has some of the like thing uh any vulnerable yeah almost but it's like a phone that has some of the vulnerabilities like taken out or specially designed right to possibly cut down on surveillance but the thing they say is like if the other person is on a regular ass phone that doesn't mean that doesn't protect you right and so if you have rudy giuliani calling and we already know he went to the fucking Apple store to get his phone unlocked. There's no trade craft or best practices. And then they're also saying how Trump was giving people his personal phone number out to other world leaders, like some fucking Hollywood agent. Gave it out to Erdogan of Turkey, gave it to boris johnson macron like like yeah

you know why don't you just hit me up homie down the seven digits bruh yeah do you see how um seven digits talia uh laven was texting rudy giuliani like they're rudy giuliani is the world's most accessible man oh yeah she's like a reporter that was like jokingly like hey does anyone have rudy giuliani's number she texted it he responds like right away this was like jokingly like, hey, does anyone have Rudy Giuliani's number? She texted it. He responds like right away. This was like two weeks ago. He's like ASL.

She said, hi, Rudy. Talia Levin, girl reporter speaking. Wonder if you have some time. Girl reporter speaking? Oh, my God. Wondering if you have time to talk about some crimes. Specifically, have you done any big crimes you want to talk about? I'm here for you, Rudy. And he responds, no no crimes big or little just going through necessary attack by dem cover

up media all stupid let them knock themselves out and she said okay but are you sure maybe just a little bit of crime crime time with the boys am i right and he says he responded to that he responds to everything you can't believe how i am careful uh you or everything. You can't believe how I am careful. Or he says, you can't believe how I am careful. I know the wolves are out there and corrupt media, corrupt and media capitalized, is in tank for them. And Talia says, oh, I'm not a wolf. I'm just a nice gal with a hunger for a scoop. What can you tell me about Ukraine?

He says, nothing you can't read in newspapers. And Rizuliani is accessible. He will text anyone. He will text anyone on the record. He says, this kind of texting doesn't really inspire confidence that trying to explain things to you will be terribly productive. But he like responds to her for days and days and days and days very quickly. Wow. He's just on his phone playing like two dots. Button dialing.

Yeah, he's doing. Oh, is that? Wait, what's two dots? Two dots. I've on his phone playing like two dots. Button dialing. Yeah, he's doing. Oh, is that? Wait, what's two dots? Two dots. I've been playing a lot of two dots. Oh, wait. I think I understand. Is that the game where you connect the dots?

Yeah, you just make squares. Oh, love it. Love it. It's nice. Yeah. It's fun. So, you know, very just always keeping our secured communications secure. I mean, again, if you could imagine a world where this story comes out about a Democratic.

They're the best. He is surrounded by the best people. He is the best people. We got them all. Another one of his best people. Call me on my jitterbug. Yeah. That's what I was wondering, like when you said like the hardened cell phone.

Hardened cell phone's a jitterbug. If it's a jitterbug. Yeah. A hardened cell phone with much larger buttons. So Betsy DeVos, I only have trouble pronouncing her name when we're recording. How do you say it off mic? Pretend we're not recording right now.

I can't. That's impossible. Dan, turn the mics off. All right, go. What did you say? Betsy DeVos. There you go. Betsy DeVos,

our secretary of education and billionaire, looks like she's a little bit scared about the possibility that they're going to come for the student debt. Yeah, I mean, Bernie and Elizabeth Warren have been pretty vocal about how they are planning on forgiving student debt. Bernie wants to forgive everything. I think Elizabeth Warren, one of the last things she said was like up to 50,000, which would be a tremendous burden lifted off of people to all student debt gang out there, just paying off interest essentially. One thing to know is the DeVos family are very invested, heavily invested

in the student loan industry. So it does not behoove them or help their business to suddenly be like, yeah, we're canceling a lot of this debt or we're forgiving it. So for her, I guess what she said on last Tuesday was that she was, this is what she tweeted out. One has to wonder why isn't federal student aid a standalone government corporation run by a professional, expert, and apolitical board of governors? A separate federal student aid would be better positioned to deliver world-class service to students and their families as they finance higher education. First of all, it should not be a thing you finance. That's just already, I'm like, finance. It's not a fucking luxury car.

Yeah. These are great investments yeah have you owned a student debt yeah oh man have you ever owned a couple students yeah oh it's wonderful sick man uh but again a lot of people were like this is so fucking it's just so transparently doing a thing where you're trying to shield uh this debt by spinning it off into an independent agency because a president could, without Congress, just be like, you know what? That's it.

No more. By doing this, this makes it a lot harder for a future president with eyes on creating a bit of a more equitable economic system here, make it a lot difficult for them to make that happen. So it shows you just, again, how fucking shook a lot of these people are at the real prospect of a warren or sanders uh coming into office because they're now already trying to figure out how to fucking play a little shell game with this chunk of debt uh that people own you know but luckily that's what happens that. That's how you can trust billionaires, because they, oh wait, they look after their own

and fuck everyone else. Actually, no, not a good idea. By definition, that's exactly what they have done. And they have exploited the rules of the system as it exists, and they want to keep being able to exploit those. So they don't want to change the rules unless it benefits them.

It's just so corrupt and like violent against people who are having to pay off student loans and go into debt because the way everything's set up, you can no longer just have a high school education for to make what traditionally there are a lot of jobs that were provided a living wage you could raise a family off of. Right now it's like barrier to entry to college. On top of that, you're gonna fucking get buried in debt and also we're not gonna let anyone even fucking try to let you off the hook for this shit that could actually stimulate the economy or make your life better because fuck you, I'm a billionaire

and I need more money. Let's talk about Bill Barr real quick. He had an interesting week last week. Uh, so he had been on this mission to create a report that would be sort of a counterpoint to all of the reports, uh, that said Trump did crimes and, uh, you know, the Mueller report, which was worse than people give it credit for, uh, the impeachment report, which came out last week and, you know, was very bad. Yeah. And so Barr was like, we can write a report. So he asked the inspector general to look into the origins of the FBI's Russia investigation, because, you know, there's all these conspiracy theories on the right that it was Hillary Clinton who started the Russia investigation. Everything's based off the Steele dossier. Lisa Page and Peter Strzok are FBI deep state people who hated Donald Trump so much that they somehow meddled in it. Bruce Ohr is also a maniacal demon from deep stadia.

Right. So he finally got the report back. Yeah, we mentioned this last week when the IG report came back, and it was the opposite of what he wanted. And then even then, there was still, you know, people were talking about this guy, John Durham, who's this prosecutor that he handpicked to also launch a separate investigation. Because I think in his mind, he was like, this inspector general is too objective, probably, and may actually find the thing I don't want. So maybe if I handpick a guy and keep telling in his ear, man, deep state, man, you got to find where the FBI did this. They probably did all kinds. They broke the law, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah. Even that guy has come back and said he could not find any evidence that the Justice Department that could support any of these theories, that it was basically on the up and up. And there was just the, again, a total loss for Bill Barr because he's like, fuck, I needed something that was going to, that was at least give credence to the idea of what Trump and everyone on the right is saying that Obama was wiretapping and tap dancing and tap, tap, taparoo and all this other bullshit. And he just doesn't have it.

So now nothing really carries any water or weight. But the best part is last week, Matt Gaetz, before the inspector general report came out or the reports about what was in it, he was like out here in the impeachment hearings, basically trying to be like, oh yeah, well maybe when this thing comes out obama just listen to this guy act so smug out over his keys yeah thinking that this cooked up ig report was actually going to support any of their dumb fucking theories and you know what if wiretapping the political opponents in impeachable offense i look forward to that inspector general because maybe it's a different president we should be impeaching gentleman's time has expired mr. president we should be impeaching. Gentleman's time has expired.

A different president we should be impeaching. Is there another president? It makes you think. It really makes you think. Well, it's also, like, again, you don't even understand how impeachment works. Right. Barack Obama is not the president of the United States. He's not impeachable at this time.

Yeah, but maybe he should be impeached. What? It's like that people who would dig up somebody's body to then execute them for a crime. That was something that used to happen. Wait, you would exhume a corpse? Yeah. Oh, it was a whole thing.

Who was doing that? What was it? Medieval shit? Yeah, medieval times. That's petty, but I like it. I know. It sounds kind of smart. Royal leaders, yeah. Yeah, I kind of like that, though. You know what? that uh what was that medieval yeah medieval times that's petty but i like it i know it's like royal leaders yeah yeah i kind of like that though you know like yo you know what now dig it dig that motherfucker up real quick who doesn't love a good exhumed body right have

a trial with like the dead body on the pile of stand well that's a good use of government money just uh just interrogate a pile of bones. Right. Oh. I remember, I think there was like a king in Portugal that had his wife exhumed so everyone could acknowledge her as the queen. Yeah, yeah. That was something I feel like. But I didn't- That's romantic. Ooh, you're in trouble, dead body.

It's like, wow. Oh, I love it. Next level pettiness. I love it. But I guess in the reality of those people, like, because science wasn't real, it's like, oh, they're going to feel that. Yeah. Yeah, their soul.

Oh, they're feeling that in hell. They got away with it because we buried them without telling them how fucked they were. Do they just, I wonder, do they just get, like, reburied at the end of that? They're like, well, now you, I hope you learned your lesson. And they spike the bones back in the hole.

Like, what do they do? Yeah, like, is there respect again? Like, do you have a funeral? No,

right? You do got to just, what, throw it in? Yeah, they probably toss it out with like the garbage or something.

If you're going to go that far, I can't imagine that they're like, all right, well, now we've got to respect it. Yeah, it's like, make it worth my time. Yeah, even though we pulled an exhumed body just to kick it a bunch I can't imagine that they're like, all right, well, now we've got to respect it. Yeah, it's like, make it worth my time.

Yeah, even though we exhumed a body just to kick it a bunch. I think one of them was executed, like re-executed or like had some punishment, like was beheaded or like something like that. Could you imagine if someone had already been beheaded as the way they had died and then they're like, nah, nah. We need to behead them for this crime. And they're like, fam, it's not even a tattoo. I would throw myself over the bones and be like, wait, I'm in love with them. No, not him. Not him.

That's my boyfriend. I offer myself as tribute. Yeah. Please kill me instead. Don't kill him again. No, he's dead, miss. He's already died one time. He doesn't deserve this.

He doesn't deserve to feel the pain. All right. We're going to take a break to look up what the fuck. That was a productive discussion. Yeah. Where I'm like telling you things I think I heard about history. All right. It's like most podcasts, to be fair.

Yeah, basically. We'll be right back. Okay. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share.

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. They lying. 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 don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back okay uh and i didn't look that up because our break was in actuality half a second long uh a little peek behind the curtains there's there is a wikipedia article on posthumous execution oh okay when was the most recent one uh the most recent one was the general of gracia oh supporter of uh francois duvalier uh papa doc oh shit he was exhumed and ritually beaten to death quote unquote in 1986. There were like witch killings up into, I think in some European countries, until like the 80s or 90s.

Oh, really? Yeah. People were really attached to these horrific things. Oh, that's why I'm so glad we live in a progressive society where we treat witches well. Yes, we are pro-witch society. Vlad the Impaler was beheaded following his assassination. Yeah. Oh.

That's not really an extreme. Straight up. Exhumed, but hey, what are you going to do? You know, where is the movie about Rasputin? It's got to be coming. I want to do it. I want to do it. Is it Cursed or something?

Wasn't there one in 96? Was there? No one's ever. There needs to be a movie about Rasputin. It was on HBO. Really? Yes. I didn't know that.

I think Alfred Molina should play Rasputin. You know who was... I think Robert... Ian McKellen. Ian McKellen played Nicholas II, the Tsar. Okay. And Alan Rickman was Rasputin. Oh, that's a good Rasputin.

Yeah, rest in peace. Dark servant of destiny. No, this looks too serious. It needs to be funny. Rasputin's story is fucking hilarious. That story is wild. Dude, Rasputin, like a Jamaican version of Vladimir Putin?

Rasputin. Rasputin. With Ras G opening for him. Dark servant of destiny. Sounds like a bit much. He was like a con man, basically, right? But then also kind of had magical powers. He was classic.

He was a con man, but he was very tall. And so everyone was like, we should take what he has to say pretty seriously. Didn't he have the Kvorka, too? What's the Kvorka? Isn't that from Seinfeld? He has that animal appeal. Did he have raw sexuala, too? What's the Kvorka? Isn't that from Seinfeld? He has that animal appeal. Did he have raw sexual appeal, too? Raw sexual appeal.

Yeah, he was definitely a sex crim. But he had two daughters, too. I've read a very large Rasputin biography. Wow. But he famously took forever to kill. Yeah. And I think that they did shit to him after he died, too, because they were just extra pissed at him. Just to make sure that he was dead. Just kick him to kill. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that they did shit to him after he died too because they were just extra pissed at him.

Just like to make sure that he was dead. Just kick him a bunch. Yeah. And then I think his penis is somewhere. This Rasputin movie was nominated for, it won Emmys. Oh really? Yeah.

We gotta watch it. Alan Rickman won an Emmy. Hell yeah. I'm confused. Anyways. All right. The power of Rasputin. Yeah. Some yeah. I'm confused. All right. The power of Ross Putin. Yeah.

Some dark stories from the news from last week. UPS, there was a UPS truck that was hijacked. So basically somebody had a movie jewel heist and a shootout with the cops. They were escaping in a U-Haul truck. They ditched the U-Haul truck and hijacked a UPS truck. And then the cops basically cut them off and then shot the truck like 200 times. But the driver of the UPS truck was still in the fucking truck. Wait, so they just indiscriminately shot at the UPS truck?

Yeah, killed the driver. Believing that the robbers were in there as well. Oh my God. The robbers were in there, but they knew it was a hostage situation. They were just like, fuck it. I think, I don't know the details of what they knew when, but they shot the truck 200 times.

All three of them died. And UPS issued a statement saying, we're deeply saddened to learn a UPS service provider was a victim of the senseless act of violence. We extend our condolences to the family and friends of our employee and the other innocent victims involved in the incident. We appreciate law enforcement service and will cooperate with the authorities as they continue the investigation.

And it's fucked up. That's very dark. Damn. And a bystander was killed, too. Yeah. Oh, I mean, they were saying that this guy was covering for another driver's shift. Yeah. Too is how he was even on that route.

Frank. That's like insult to injury to like and he was doing someone a favor. Right. Doing someone a favor and then have your fucking employer be like, yo, shout out to y'all.

Don't want to make it hot. right. Like, you don't have to, you don't have to necessarily come at law enforcement. But you also don't need to like go out of your way

to voice support for them after they might have killed one of your fucking employees. Yeah. That's like 2019. We're at fucking every day now.

Chaos. That's so sad. Yeah. In other U Corporation news Uber has reported a shocking number of sexual assaults and nine murders happened in their cars in 2018, I think. Nine murders? Yeah, 2018. Nine murders.

That's wild to me. I'm like, what is that? I mean, like all the ride sharing services have like assault issues. And then they'll occasionally like make an effort to be like, like you'll get a push notification of like, hey, if you get raped, don't be shy. Let us know. And then like every, I think that like Lyft is pretty bad with it too. Of like their, I don't know.

I mean, like there there's that's just tony west uber's chief legal officer said in an interview what it says is that uber is a reflection of the society it serves oh shut up there's that that option or they're making more crime possible and uh easier to happen but also don't regulate us, bro. Right. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Don't let them unionize either. Right.

You know what I mean? Just keep it. Let's keep it funky. Don't pay a fair wage. Let's not unionize. Like, hey, murder is going to happen. But we did build this cool button into the app if you are getting murdered. Right.

If you're getting murdered, hit this button. I had a friend that was in a Lyft and the driver got murdered while they were driving the Lyft. No! Are you serious? What? Yes. This was, I think. Anna, did you hear about this? Is it a carjacking? I don't know what the circumstances were, but it was like a friend of mine and their friend were getting a ride home from wherever.

And their driver was shot and killed while they were driving. Like, oh, I don't. That has to be so dramatic. Holy shit. But that was Lyft. So this is not even a part of the story. Well, yeah. It's worth noting yeah it's happening

isn't releasing their any of these statistics for their company well i have a great reason why that might be true because their drivers it's not just passengers getting killed folks it's the drivers as well yeah the murder victims uh this article notes were drivers passengers and third parties uh in cases of rape uber said 92 percent of the reported victims were riders uh so yeah yeah because i mean that initially it was sort of like do you have a car then you can drive anyone oh for sure and sure. And now they're like, oh, right. We should probably start screening some of these people before we're saying we're providing

a safe ride anywhere. Yeah. Especially it's a product that is at least partially designed to help drunk people get home at the end of the night. Right. That is going to end with a lot of people being assaulted.

Yeah. I don't know. All of their, I mean, I hope that the like safe, the limited safety measures that they've added have been helpful, but they all kind of like ring a little hollow and feel kind of half-assed and more just like, I don't, you know, they don't want to be, they'll do just enough to not be regulated and then kind of bury the rest. Or doing just enough to not be regulated and then kind of bury the rest. Or doing just enough to, say, stay somewhat profitable, although they lost like $1.2 billion last quarter. Oh, did they? Yeah.

That's kind of par for the course for them, isn't it? Like aren't they one of those companies that is just hemorrhaging money and people are like, great investment. So many companies are because, yeah, they have to make it affordable to enough people that people will use it. Like if they were doing it to purely be profitable, then these businesses probably wouldn't exist. So they'd like self-subsidize. Damn. Well, Clint Eastwood has a new movie coming out.

And it's starring the guy from I, Tonya that I liked. I know. Which one was he in I, Tonya? He was Sean. No, he was Sean, Galooly's he in I, Tonya? He was Sean. No, he was Sean. Galooly's friend. Oh, yeah. That guy was good. He was great in that movie. I'm like, I'm bummed

that he's in this movie. Is this on Netflix? The new movie? Richard Jewell? No, it's a full-on theatrical release. Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates. Jon Hamm. Olivia Wilde. Everyone's disappointing me. Sam Rockwell why did everyone let me down

so cause it's Clint Eastwood it's a it's a good story I mean the true story is fucked up about the

about the guy yeah so it's about the guy who Richard Jewell Richard Jewell found J-U-U-L found like one of the bombs

and like reported it and you know was just a security guard and the bombs and like reported it and, you know, was just a security guard. And the police and the media like really started kind of they couldn't come up with a theory on who it was. So they just blamed him because they knew the public would like to have like somebody to like pin the narrative on. to pin the narrative on. And the guy ended up being innocent and he had his life completely ruined

by the FBI and the media. The FBI and the media, not always correct, guys. No. Unless they're killing civil rights leaders. But because Trump has made the media and the FBI his enemies, some people are seeing this as sort of a magus greed. And there are some details in there that are- Anti-fake news?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the main journalist is played by Olivia Wilde, and they imply that she used sex to get her story tips and had a past sexual relationship with an FBI agent played by Jon Hamm and they totally made that up in the movie. Oh, that was where they took their creative license to alter the truth?

Yeah. Based on a true story that I've made up. Yes. Sick. Isn't he going to run out of, I don't know, I'm surprised he's still functioning as a director and shit at this point. And he's still putting out, like he put out a movie last year too. He put out that Bradley Cooper movie that it was him and Bradley Cooper were like following his son.

Oh yeah. Wait, was that the mule? Yeah. Oh, that's, oh, Bradley Cooper's in that? Bradley Cooper's in that. He really downplayed the fact that he was in that. Yeah. Yeah.

He's like one of the main characters. I mean, who could forget him, his acting with that baby doll in American Sniper? Bradley Cooper's a weird man. Yeah, that's a bummer. I think the nice thing about Clint Eastwood movies is that no one sees them anymore. Right. And no one really gives a fuck about- Well, it's for a very specific set of consumers. Like everyone, if you grew up, if you were in, let's say, your adolescent years and Clint Eastwood was popping like back then.

Chance the Rapper is an old person now who's like, yep, I've loved him since. He's like the rock to the elderly men of this country. He makes movies for people who are uh dying soon right and that's you know i don't i don't market for that i don't have i don't have time i don't have time to be annoyed at clint eastwood i'm like man would you be in a clint eastwood film no no what but but it's clint eastwood colin i see that's the thing is like i have no i have no attachment to clint Eastwood It doesn't seem Quint Eastwood

Quint Eastwood Yeah No not That was joking But Quint Eastwood Who's Mr. Quint Quint Westwood

I feel like if Quint Eastwood ever Called me up to be in a movie It would be to play Some deeply problematic Like racist caricature Right Like somebody from

That's like what he does Nameless Asian country I should have been In Gran Torino I should have been In Mystic River Oh yeah like racist caricature of like somebody from nameless Asian country. I should have been in Gran Torino. I should have been in Mystic River. Oh yeah. Fucking

where's my daughter? Where's my daughter? Where's my daughter? Is my daughter in there? Give my daughter back to me. Unforgiven is still one of my

favorite movies but I didn't realize how like the last political statement that he made that I was aware of was his speaking to the empty chair that was meant to represent Obama for some reason in the 2012 election. And apparently I should have been paying more attention because Eastwood did support Trump just ahead of the 2016 election. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Or you're surprised. Yeah, I guess I am surprised just because that's like a step further. Because you should be a Hollywood elite, man. Right. I just looked up Clint Eastwood's recent filmography. People are still seeing his movies, guys. Yeah, American Sniper is like a huge, huge monster hit. I think I've only seen Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby.

Yeah. That's it. I like Million Dollar Baby. Yeah, because it supported your liberal ideas that we should all be able to kill each other. That's true. Yeah. That's true. He says that he supported Trump because society is, quote, in a pussy generation where everyone's too sensitive.

Grandpa, stop. And then he said, when I grew up, those things weren't called racist. He literally said that phrase. That should be the name of his next movie. Those things weren't called racist. He was born in 1930, so. Yeah. Yeah, motherfucker, people didn't even have rights then.

That was before the civil rights movement. 1930. They didn't call things racist. They call them coloreds or other, what is this? Bitch retire, but you know, he won't. Yeah. Then he always said he, when people were talking about how Donald Trump is just so offensive he said just fucking get over it

yeah okay thank you King Richard Jewell Kathy Bates I thought it was going to be about Jewelling I know I would love to see a movie about Jewell Richard Jewell

I don't know Yeah. I know. I would love to see- A movie about Jewel? Richard Jewel. Richard J-U-U-L? You know, I'm going to- I don't know. I want to give- Big Jewel. I want to give Paul Walter Hauser a pass, man. I really like him. I hope he's not a secret Republican.

Well, I also think, too, you know, like, if you're really trying to make it as an actor, like, you- You have to do it. You have to fucking eat shit. You know, like, there's no- He's in Cruella. Guys, we're all going to forgive him when Cruella comes out. Who's in Cruella? Paul Walter Hauser. Richard Jewel. Oh, who's playing Cruella in Cruella. Guys, we're all going to forgive him when Cruella comes out. Who's in Cruella?

Paul Walter Hazard. Who's playing Cruella in Cruella? Emma Stone. It's the Cruella DeVille origin story. And it's directed by the director of I, Tonya. Oh my god. It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun.

Jamie Loftus will be living in a movie theater. It's going to be a romp. Wait, why? That that's what they gave the I, Tonya director to do next. Oh, yeah. It sucks for him. Yeah. It sucks for him.

He has to direct Cruella. That person could have directed a good movie. But hey, maybe it's already. Maybe Cruella will be the Joker. 2020s Joker. 2020s Joker. Oh, my God. We do live in a society.

Yes. We do live in a society. That. We do live in a society. That's for sure. That's where Cruella comes in. Yeah. So let's- I stan a cruel queen. I stan-

I hope that they girl boss her out. A near-death elderly director. You imagine. Real quick, let's talk about Peloton. So that ad that I was certain had been done intentionally to like go viral but be bad uh oh to get like more name recognition just i don't know it just seemed so like the performance was so weird and uncanny and the just the whole idea behind it was so strange uh but apparently they have lost over a billion dollars since that ad broke

in response to that or because i know they've been in trouble financially so they also lowered their prices right but that lowering of the prices is part of like also a marketing push to like make it more of a broadly adopted thing so it's like part of the same strategy it's like well we won't charge as much and instead we'll reach everyone with our amazing messaging like this ad uh what a gamble yeah i mean again so many people were looking at that ad and being like this isn't real there's nothing real about like the ad not to say that all ads are reality based but like you're saying it really felt like this weird dream world where everything was perfect and i'm like that doesn't make sense like where's the where's the dude who's

like 36 and like tried to play pickup basketball and just cardio was all fucked up and got mad he started looking at his old high school yearbook it's like i used to have it and then he gets on his peloton and starts singing all the people that have made fun of him in the past and by his ed and his lack of hair he's balding and he's trying to do it better by his life and become more healthy and fit i think that would be something that would resonate with people well well so the ad should have been about you who what no not you, that was really mean. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, my God.

Well, yeah. Well, yeah. That would have been nice if it was about me. The thing that I've, like, the ad is so deeply sad. Like, that's, it's, like, one of the most upsetting things I've ever seen. Like, the woman, like, yes, she has, she has like a, like what would be considered a perfect life on Instagram, but it also is completely

devoid of meaning and it like just seems like she's just finding these artificial ways to like give meaning to her life and then she's making a video about the fact

that her life had no meaning until this Peloton bike was given to her by her husband, who apparently was like, your life is empty here. I wonder if at the end- I love a good wife guy. I love my Peloton wife. I love my stationary bike wife.

Stationary bike wife. Yeah, he doesn't talk. I mean, it would have been fitting. It seemed like the momentum of that commercial, like at the end where they're watching the video of her being like, and it's like so great for my life. He'd be like, all right, now get your ass back on that bike. Right.

Right. I got to go do my nameless job somewhere. Right. To make a billion dollars. I got to go back to browsing Ashley Madison. Weren't they like saying, though, they were trying to prove that like people did like the commercial or something like where they were like yo this commercial

is fucked up and they're like no no no yeah they were like people just misinterpreted it and here's proof and they sent like a handful of emails they received from people being like yes that is my life that's even sadder what about this one from Shell Gasoline Sandwich?

And a single Facebook post. A single Facebook post. For the spend on that fucking ad and all you could dig up is one shitty receipt on Facebook? One supportive Facebook post. What was it by supportive being like, well, I thought it was okay. It was from a woman who liked the ad. Yeah. Oh, well, I mean, if a woman says so, then they're up for it.

I mean, as a father to a woman, I believe this is fair. The whole thing, again. This is new to me. I didn't know that this was a thing. The commercial? Yeah, I haven't seen the Peloton ad. Oh, hold on. Dan, let's pause one second.

You have to see this. All right, we're going to pause for a moment. Jamie's going to watch it, and then we'll start recording again. Okay. That is very... It's just like the... So she doesn't have a job? Well, I don't know.

She came home from somewhere. Oh, she did come home from somewhere wearing high-heeled shoes. Are you surprised, Jamie? I am. Oh, my God. Wow. And then at the end, does it imply that she has a son? She has a kid?

Yeah, she has a kid. She has abandoned her kids. She's starving. Her life is meaningless. If you look in the back, you can see the child slowly wither away. Yeah, no, there's like one kid that's passed out from like... That's... And then the husband just comes in at the end.

Yeah. Just to be like, that's right, baby. That's right, baby. You get back on that bike. And then he gets on the phone to brag to his friends. It's amazing, dude. I got her a bike and now she's totally hot. She looks like she's made out of granite

and she's totally off my fucking back. Who wrote that? That wasn't. And then her like weird book report video at the end. It's like, that's the other part. I need you to make a vlog. Yeah.

Like where they're shitting down. Like it's a vlog project. Bring it to him. What do you think? That's the, I think that's the saddest part for me is they do a, like when they first reveal that what we're watching is a vlog of her journey getting a peloton and using the peloton that she has made for her husband it cuts out and she's

looking at her husband with like such like anxiety like is he gonna like it the video that i made for him can i have our pin yeah have i done good can I have her pin number? Yeah, have I done good? Oh my God. Can I have her pin number? He changes the pin number every week. Oh my God. And if she bikes enough. Can I have financial autonomy in this relationship? Yeah, she gets the pin number if she bikes enough. And she makes a good book report. I tell you, the pin number is going to be 1018

when your weight on that scale reads 101.8 pounds. Oh my God. It's like the kind of shit. That is disturbing. There's no point in history where that commercial would make sense. Right. It's not like, oh, it's like they're making a commercial 40 years ago. No.

It doesn't make any sense. She has a job. It's a completely new, like black mirror type yeah oh boy you know though i think if i got married i would give my spouse homework you know it seems like he just got he got her a bike and he gave her fucking homework i'm like does she get to give him homework right no definitely not no she's just concerned that her honey is uh pleased with the video he's got he's got one of their kids locked in a panic room and he's like i will give you the combination once you hit 100 miles on the bike just a simmering level of like anxiety that

exists in that household there's there's a kid in a panic room in that house guaranteed for certain right it's just so it a lot people, I mean some people are like it's not so bad because it's sexist. But they're saying it's bad because of the copywriting. Okay, sure. I don't know. The copywriting is also bad but they're saying how it goes from like a present story of coming down the stairs

but she's covering her own eyes and then it's a scene switch when then she's now she my god she's on the she's on the bike but filming herself and now it forces the audience to be like well then who are we to this person with this perspective switch and then like well then that suggests that at the unveiling of the present she like set up a camera to be like, this is the big moment when I get my present. But she she had to do all of the things that I would imagine. Right. Yeah. Right.

Oh, she's covering her own eyes. And then but then they're saying, like, are we the the collective? We are we the husband in this? Because we're looking at the video. She's basically filming for him. Right. in this because we're looking at the video she's basically filming for him right i think that so it's all as they say in this thread all her work dot dot dot is for us right and we are the we're looking at her tormented eyes as the husband she does look like she's about to cry in every single

shot yeah it seems like she's like on the verge of her eyebrows are very expressive. Yeah. And her eyes are kind of glassy, too. And then they go and they say, the story isn't a personal journey. She does not change. She does not overcome. She does make a lot of facial expressions at us slash the husband stand-in. The quote star of the commercial who it's all for is the passive buyer of the product, not the user. Right. I think that there's like a

have you guys seen Parasite? I think that's happening. Yes. This is on the level with that like it is as it gets at the same like pit in my stomach that that movie gave me. Yeah you're like now let's explore the house

let's see what's going on. Hell yeah. Parasite's so good. Parasite, yeah. I got the screener, but I feel like I need to see it in the theater. You should see it in the theater. I'm going to see it today. Today, Junior?
