Netflix, Wayne Brady, and some quarantine activities that we can recommend. But first, Molly, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Wow, great question. Thank you. Last night, I feel like Miles will like this. Last night, I was looking up what happened to everybody involved in the jerkin movement oh what is the jerk what did happen oh my god dude the dance craze was a uh a rap genre from the

2000s that was involved skinny jeans and a dance called jerkin why do you buy the most the most famous person who became there used to be like circles outside of high school that we did everyone be jerking before homeroom so there's this rapper named big clit who is like a new metal kind of rapper who's new but then i looked her up and found out she had a jerkin past she oh reinvented herself as like a soundcloud rapper but there's all these pictures of her being like the number one jerkin dance crew gal wow with the vans on too oh yeah okay gotta make sure wearing a shirt i only date guys who wear skinny jeans what what is. Was there a song that broke through from the jerking movement? Well, YG, I think, was the big crossover.

Yeah, You're a Jerk was the one. Yeah, I think You're a Jerk. You're a Jerk. You never heard that song? That was pretty much all I heard. You're a Jerk. You're a Jerk. Okay.

I guess with the pack, did they count as jerking? Yeah, the pack was kind of jerking yeah so yeah pink dollars pink dollars was my favorite got my vans on but they look like sneakers you don't remember that song jack you know you know nope you know you remember the pack homie okay oh of course of course got my vans on but they look like sneakers that was like two dance two dance circles that would take place outside of Brockton High would be like the Jerkin circle and then I think later it would be the Soulja Boy

circle. The Soulja Boy circle went on for a long time. The like you and then people would be traveling like a full football field on a single you. Okay. Well, you got to crank that. I just heard Soulja Boy is making a lot of money because he

started a soap company is soldier boy a flat earther or am i thinking of someone else no soldier boy likes to do like low-level technology scams like he had like a hoverboard that was like burning people up and like headphones that didn't work like that's kind of soldier a gaming system had a whole console that he was trying to sell he's actually he's a very he has yeah he has there's like a really good daily beast article about like all the scams of soldier boys technological endeavors yeah he's moved on to becoming a full-time scammer what is something molly that you think is underrated? Underrated? Going outside. Going outside.

This is the second day in a row that I think we've had going outside or something similar. So what are you doing? How are you going outside? My brother said he was like, going outside now is like going to Las Vegas. That's pretty good. It's that stimulating it's true i go outside and i'm like the sky is blue come on oh yeah i am so starved for social interactions with anybody who's not my family that i like just give the strongest eye contact to like the mailman,

like mailmen that I've never seen before. Just anybody. I'm just like, hey, friend, how are you? Yeah, I saw a person this morning and I was really embarrassing. Yeah, they were just like, I think it was a mutual thing where we both said hello,

but it was too loud. I think my volume modulation is- Just startling. She was like, hi. I was like too loud like i think my my volume modulation is like she was like hi i was like hello and then we just did our quick transaction i'm starting to like treat different parts of my house like like different parts of the city well i'm like nah nah like don't don't go don't go to the kitchen till later that's like the that's like the store uh you're gonna you don't want to go to the kitchen after dark it's pretty uh yeah and then be like oh i'm gonna hit the club which means smoke a joint like in my front yard uh and then like go back inside i mean i'm starting to like

really make the most out of it like keep it you know keep some spaces sacred as if they're places i don't normally go to do you guys have someone on your street who's just like kind of hanging out in the front yard like all day every day yeah yeah there's like kind of it's not who you'd expect too it's like a guy who's like a i think he's like an agent or something and he's just like sitting out there taking phone calls and just waving at everybody. Oh, wow. Just needs the eye contact. That sounds like something that would happen in the first act of a horror movie. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Just some UTA motherfucker like, hi. There's an older nom vet who lives down my street, and he's always angry at the kids on my street normally, when they are riding bikes and shit. And now he's just like... Is it Clint Eastwood? No, just another guy. He's got his sleeveless tee on

and he's just practicing the same golf swing for hours in his front yard. Just back and forth. He's just, I don't know, out here cycling. Miles, that's how you get good. That's how you get good. Maybe I'll become the person who sits outside. But outside is great.

I spent an hour and a half collecting leaves with my three-year-old the other day. I had no idea. That's so nice. Yeah, but they're not good leaves. I looked back at them after the fact. Not great leaves. We were just fascinated by whatever. Yeah, you're like, what the fuck are these? What are these? These are B-grade leaves. I looked back at them after the fact. Not great leaves. We were just fascinated by whatever. Yeah, you're like, what the fuck are these?

What are these? These are B-grade leaves. But at the time, I was blown away. I was like, look at that one. That's a great leaf. But yeah, I think it's just... Hey, get over here. You make bad decisions out there when you're outside

because it is like Vegas. I think that's exactly right. It does. Stay at the club picking up leaves for too long. Too late. We got back. My wife was like, where the fuck were you guys? You don't understand. There was this

elm tree. We did too many leaves. We had all these plans that we were going to make a piece of art with the leaves, and then we got back, and I was like, I can't glue these to anything. Really? Yeah. Watching my dog take a shit is now one of the highlights of my day. I'll go out, watch Sonny drop a big...

This morning, I cheered. I was like, yeah! That's just a couple of spicy nuggets from my little guy. Best part of the day. Have you guys seen animals taking over? No. What do you mean? Just like the coyotes are getting really, really brave

because they know that we are not out in the streets anymore. So they're just kind of hanging out a lot more. I drove through Griffith Park a couple days ago and there were just deer all over all the golf course. Ooh, I like that. I thought Animals Taking Over was a Fox show. No, that's when they fight. Animation domination. The animals are taking over animals that's when that's when they're like who could win in a fight like gordon ramsey or a bear

seth mcfarland is a horny coyote but if if nobody has an animals taking over Instagram, somebody needs to make that immediately because that is I'm sure there's that's everywhere right now in the country. People need to do that. There was one viral story like in Scotland or whatever, where a bunch of sheep and like rams had just wild goats and shit are in the streets like laying in the street like this is our fucking town now. Yeah, I think it's I think it's Wales. I i didn't recognize that but yeah it's so cool it's just like like wild sheep running through the streets swans came back to the venice canal the animals know that we are we fucked up yeah and then there are also uh like fake versions of that story where they're like, there are dolphins swimming through the Venice Canal now. Sometimes we need those stories

to be true to give us some modicum of hope in these dumb times. Like, yeah, man, I like that. Definitely the birds have been just like, yeah, we know what's going on. The birds for sure. The birds have known. The birds have been trying to tell us.

We sound like we've completely lost our tether from reality. Right now, by the way. Oh, yeah. The birds definitely know. The birds know. I think it goes without saying that the birds know what's going on. I mean, I feel stupid for not listening to them. If the birds wanted to pick a time to do a The Birds,

this would be the perfect time. Strike now while the iron is hot. Yeah. That movie rules. It rules. My fifth grade teacher showed us that movie on a half day once, and I think lived to regret it, because there was a million parents that were like,

my child will no longer look at a bird. Why would you? That's a little too young for the birds. Yeah, he's like, well, they're trying to tell us things. Your child woke up. You should really heed the wisdom of the birds. It's a cautionary tale. That's me every day.

Molly, what is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Right now, I'm feeling like Netflix and streaming things are overrated because they cannot fill the endless hole inside of me that needs to not be bored all the time. Do you guys find that you just have a limit for screen time, that you can only watch so much stuff on a screen before your brain is like, fuck this, anything else?

Absolutely. I thought in the beginning I was like, here we go. My butt is about to rot off as I just completely mainline TV through my fucking eyes. And now I'm like, seriously, just being like, I'm going to put my headphones on and pretend I'm in the rainforest and like outside. I like that.

That sounds great. I keep going back to this, and I know it makes Jamie really sad how I keep escaping through my headphone apps, but I'm telling you the portal app. I just can't. When I'm in that Brazilian, that Amazon rainforest and I'm just smoking my weed. That's like,

that's my new Netflix. Did you guys ever have tapes of the rainforest? There is a store called the nature company that used to just sell like forest cassettes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah know this oh yeah i remember the nature company store uh but yeah i think i don't know if it what it is is like i almost want like really random esoteric content like i'm i get it like all the main shit is there but like i want to watch like i'm sure new york undercover is out there but i want to watch new york undercover again i started watching living single again but like i feel

like the things that i have patience for is like stuff from way like shit i really forgot about living single is perfect i started watching um i feel like no not enough people are talking about nora from queens it's really good the the new Awkwafina show on Comedy Central. It's good. Recommend. People just don't talk about good shows when they're good now apparently.

The Last OG. I'm totally blown away. The Last OG is amazing. It's so good. I think maybe just because everything's so fucked up, I just want to watch comfort things of my childhood so like a couple days ago i watched saved by the bell hawaiian style oh hell yeah yeah i love that which is on hulu just so everyone knows the saved by the bell mini movie five episode things are on all on hulu las vegas oh that um when they go to hawaii the hotel to this day blows my mind how luxurious that place was didn't have like little boats and shit

you gotta watch it and find out i'm i'm not gonna lie it's a little bit racist but also i can't imagine anything from the 90s racist with its heart in the right place in a very 90s way. Oh, right. Oh, Clinton era. Let's just say a tribe thinks Screech is the reincarnation of an ancient god. Oh, that's right. But then they get into tribal land rights at the end, and they're like, this hotel's built on our tribal land. Saved by the Bell Gang's going to help you liberate it.

So again, and did they liberate the land? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Five episodes through, through just bloody uprising.

I remember if I remember it correctly, just bloody uprising, such as going into hotel rooms, dressed as Wayne and Garth to make people think the luxury hotel has bad service. I was thinking about trying to track down some Degrassi. Ooh, yeah. That'd be a nice comfort show. A lot of things I think are going to be comfort shows

end up having Donald Trump in them. Just peeks up out of nowhere, right? No, for real. For real. Like Sex and the City, he shows up in like the third episode or something. You're just like, come on. And then I was watching the Little Rascals movie directed by Penelope Spheeris. That was another like, hey, here's something that can't possibly remind me of now.

And then like the rich kid's dad is Donald Trump. I was like, come on. Oh my God. Not good. I found Veep has been, rewatching Veep episodes while I'm falling asleep

has been a weirdly comforting, I don't know why it's comforting because it just reminds you of everything that's wrong. But it is comforting to me to have on in the background. Curb Your Enthusiasm this season has been very comforting. I'm like ready for Curb Your Enthusiasm again.

It came all the way back around where I was like, yeah, sure. Bring it back. Like it just has nothing to do with now. It takes place in like that New York soundstage, 90s, where Larry David lives, where people go to the newsstand all the time. Coffee shops are really into scones. But yeah, the whole plot's just been about Larry opening a coffee shop despite another guy.

Really low stakes. His celebrity stay-at-home-in-quarantine announcement is the only celebrity video of that nature that I've been able to stomach at all. I agree. It sounded just like when that video of Bernie from the other day, too, where he was like, get further away from each other.

That's what I want. He's like, you know I would never do something like this. Somebody's making me do it. When an old Jewish man who might be related to me admonishes me on something like that, I'm like, you're right, you're right. Go inside. What was I thinking?

Finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true, you know to be false, or vice versa? What a good one. Why is this so hard a myth miles doesn't know how to read minds good perfect uh all right let's take a quick hold on hold on that was a great segue jack into my new program that i'm offering thank you molly uh i also read minds which is why i knew how to do that segue. Right.

And, you know, I'm coming out with a self-help tape, multi-level. Well, actually, I said that part out loud. Sign your friends up for for wealth benefits program. So more on that later. That good loaded phrase. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right?

And this season we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these things. We thank Latin

culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

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. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Pinterest has taken a bit of a central role in how people are existing, I guess.

I don't know. To be honest, this has not affected me in any way. But I think it says here on our doc that there's been all kinds of increased search traffic on Pinterest. Well, Pinterest is easy because you can search something and it'll be like, give me the picture answer to a thing I'm looking for. I don't need text, but give me some imagery or some other things that'll help out. So a lot of people have been looking for all kinds of things because everyone is adjusting to this new way of living and parenting and looking for strategies on how to make that work. Naturally, things like how to set up a home workstation or how to create a work environment when you have roommates and everyone's working from home. things like that make sense but then there are other ones that are kind of also

interesting things that have gone up exponentially over three thousand percent increase in searching for how to clean bathroom sink on pinterest okay that's actually that sounds helpful how do you do you have some good i have had that happen where pinterest things come up when i search for like like back stretches things like that. Stretches you can do when you're sitting at home all day trapped inside. And then it'll be like a nice little drawing. Wait, you're saying Pinterest has read your mind and asked and presented you with that? Correct.

Also, Pinterest, in my good graces, because they were one of the first people to make that announcement being like, we're not going to let plantations be on wedding inspiration boards anymore. Oh, is that that? Yeah. And everybody was like, wow, Pinterest holding down a stronger line than virtually any other website on the whole racism thing. Don't you love when someone does the least they could possibly do? Yeah. Erupting in a standing ovation across the globe. Right. Don't you love when someone does the least they could possibly do? And you're just blown away. Yeah, erupting in a standing ovation across the globe. Right, like a week ago when everybody was like,

I wish Olive Garden was the president. Yeah. To quote Keanu Reeves in Hardball, I'm blown away by your ability to show up. Sorry. Definitely worth it. Go ahead. No, just other things that have been increased.

4,000% increased in indoor beekeeping searches. Indoor beekeeping? Indoor. That's pretty metal if you're indoor beekeeping. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what, I guess, but don't they have to get out to be amongst the, whatever. I don't know much about bees. Other things, how to grow spinach from scraps.

Yeastless bread recipes up 4,400%. Garden obstacle course kids is up nearly 2,000%. Good sleep tips are up over 7,500%. And calm during chaos quotes are up over 6,000%. A couple questions. How to grow spinach from scraps? Are they just saying taking spinach leaves and putting them in the ground

and assuming that's going to grow spinach, or am I mistaken? I don't know. Has anyone ever grown something? I've never grown anything. You can regrow it, I think, if you have maybe the stalk left, rather's just like the leaf that's just funny that this is like pinterest preppers yeah because like you know like asian moms do the thing with green onions where like you cut

the stalks off but you can like keep like the white part and just kind of regenerate from there oh okay i don't know if it's just Asians, but I see it a lot with Asians. Teslin Trimnicko knows a lot about planting. She's got a garden. She knows how to do things like take a part of a plant and make a new plant. Propagating? Propagating. We all are going to have to learn how to do that.

So thanks, Pinterest. Yeah. But the calm during the chaos quotes seems like a very Pinterest-y thing where you're like, I need to see some nice calligraphy against a nice palette that'll say, in the times when it is most dark, we'll learn to appreciate even the smallest bit of light. I don't know if that's uplifting. This feels Pinterest adjacent. There was a Ina Gartenina garden i guess went live because you know at this point why not she went live and she was like hey everybody here's a cocktail you can make she went live at 9 30 a.m and just like poured a bottle of vodka into a bucket and

was drinking out of you're just like yeah sure honestly that's a public service she can offer us is just like to do that that's that wasp that real wasp shit gotta respect it she and Jeffrey are just black out

in their men well have you guys been following Martha Stewart's personal account it's also amazing you know Martha Stewart I'm also like

she did time so like she has been cooped up before. Her personal account is kind of goth and funny always. I guess she had a bunch of people staying at her house when the lockdown happened. They're just continuing to stay at her house. She keeps being like, I jokingly refer to them as my prisoners. She keeps being like, me and my detainees are enjoying this lovely dinner tonight

but she also keeps being like i i'm so bored i like i wish i could go out and do something just like anyone else i've always admired how kind of unhinged and like uh misspelled and error prone prone her twitter is it's like she yeah like she lets you know that while she may care about how she presents in real space she does not give a fuck what you think about her spelling and i love it and that's what true power is that is true power true it's true and calling your friends detainees i like i mean i think martha stewart i think she's like the kind i think she's maybe actually done this she's done that sort of thing where she'll like tweet out something that she meant to google like that kind of energy right that's right it'll

just be like how to use nest cam you know or something like that right yeah yeah that's right Nest Cam, you know, or something like that. Right. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Who among us? Yeah. Who among us hasn't tweeted out how to use Nest Cam? Oh, scary.

Checking in with the pandemic we're all living through, guys. There's a couple articles about where we are, just how pandemics have influenced history that I thought was somewhat interesting. There was a story about how the cholera pandemic of one of the centuries before the 20th century that I don't distinguish between, but it led to Russian imperial forces kind of pressing down on the people to try to keep them from rioting, which led to uprisings, which led to further pressure from above, which eventually led to the Bolshevik uprising in the early 20th century.

So that was something I hadn't really thought of that initially started with a pandemic. And there was another article about how bad our health care system is right now and they put it in terms of the economic like damage that it does to individuals and just like our economy in general is uh worse than the penalties put on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, which was... Sick! That's the thing that we all think of as the obvious culprit for the rise of Nazism. But I don't know. People throughout history have kind of turned on doctors, and I'm hoping that's not how

we choose to funnel our anger in this. I have actually been slightly heartened by the fact that the wellness influencers are taking this seriously. Yeah. Because I thought that was a real crossroads for them to be like, are they going to be like, when they give us a vaccine, do we want it? Yeah. What science history will they be on? But they're all like oh no no no like this is real

stay home everybody and like drink all your cordyceps you know like they're still they're still grifting but they're still although Gwyneth Paltrow

did post that picture where she was wearing a mask and gloves and was like just got back from the Brentwood Farmers Market I know right right

and then a week later that story about the Brentwood Farmers Market still being a huge crowd. Shut it down. Catherine Schwarzenegger demanding that the city shut it down. That was a funny headline. I heard that on Who Weekly this morning. Yeah, them just being like,

Catherine Schwarzenegger demands this of Eric Garcetti. And you're like, oh my God, is it going to be something amazing? Is Catherine Schwarzenegger demands this of Eric Garcetti and you get you're like oh my god is it really is it going to be something amazing is Catherine Schwarzenegger secretly cool and then she's just like close the farmer's market which is right but it's just I think it's not that she's cool she's married to Chris Pratt now and she's not anyone who's super super Christiany but I think like Arnold Schwarzenegger she's like cooler than you'd expect based on what you imagine

you know like when Schwarzenegger was just like more of a libertarian than a right winger just in some ways where you were like huh didn't know that guy the lowest of the low bars it's like the president and anytime he does something that isn't

actively killing people on a public stage people like his approval rating shoots through the roof right well i keep thinking like what if schwarzenegger president schwarzenegger was like the less bad timeline you know right yeah that happened i was like oh shit like everything's fucked up now uh little did but then i, well, if he were president, the guy who seems like an actual Austrian Nazi type guy even more, at least we'd get better environmental

protections. It would be too on the nose for him to actually turn into a Nazi. Yeah, he's like a right winger who also wants to smoke pot and have some environmental protections, aka libertarians.a. libertarians. Also, he can't be president

because he wasn't born here. But anyways, I would be fine with the public outrage going towards insurance executives and, you know, grifters. But let's leave doctors alone, please. Are any of these executives who are like,

now their plan's coming out for these airlines, like American Airlines and United, to just completely fuck over their employees despite them getting this bailout money. Yeah. That's where I think people need to start. I mean, at the very least, I think people are starting realizing the powers that are crushing them above them

in terms of the system that we're in, them uh in terms of like the system that we're in and i think maybe that will that will lead to something and i also it brings up the argument of like this might be a good time i mean if if obviously the world were perfect where you could completely go after the for-profit health care insurance system we have and try and make it work for everyone because this is a moment where like we need sort of the same sort of protocols and policies for people as we face a pandemic that's what i'm thinking might be the like the outcome of of this is that that just gets torn to the ground because it's it's really being exposed as completely fucked and unprepared for anything like this.

Well, we didn't get to this yesterday. I don't know if it was touched on in Nightguys, but just, I mean, the relationship between like workers and employers right now, it's just like, it is the issue. I mean, aside, it's a public health issue and then it's like bringing to the forefront how important it is to treat workers ethically or things absolutely fall to shit in situations like this where like um the the whole situation with the amazon warehouse worker who was rightfully so bringing up the fact that hey social distancing is not being in in like enforced here workers are not being protected um the whole you know they're they're lying in terms of like oh we're we're doing everything we can and then that person who brought it up and tried to organize was fired for

quote unquote like not social distancing at work it's just all such bullshit that like the companies that get assistance i mean it almost goes without saying but like none of it is is or very little of it is going to actually assisting workers it's just like taking the check and um and moving on well that's why i think a lot of the people in congress are saying like this is probably just the beginning of multiple stimulus packages we're going to have to put together because obviously the money that they're giving people figure out how to make that flow more equitably and relieve the pressure on the people who don't deserve it and ask people or organizations that have tons of billions of dollars in their coffers to say, yeah, you know what, dude,

you're going to have to fucking take a hit here. I'm sorry. There's no way this works where your nebulous bank account that's attached to these like five people in a C-suite isn't going to go down because we'd rather pass that pain on to millions. Also, like we've seen now that money isn't real. You know, they're just like, oh, here's a trillion dollars. Oh, they kept saying like, oh, how we pay for health care. And it's like, no, you just pulled a trillion dollars out of nowhere to bail out like cruise ships. Really, we can make money appear when we want to and the

other thing is it's just like techno feudalism clearly is not working you know like here we have this moment where all these fucking billionaires who don't get taxed so that they can like share their wealth have the opportunity to do that and to be like a hero in a public health crisis and none of them they all are just crickets from everybody look at Bloomberg and Tom Steyer they were so rah rah and shit a fucking month ago motherfucker you might

as well you think they took a spaceship to another fucking galaxy also just like think about all the money they like flush down the drain on the Bloomberg campaign just just yeah all the money they flushed down the drain on the Bloomberg campaign. Just, yeah, where the money goes is clearly not subject to logic. And it's just obvious now that if it is not subject to law of some such, it's like such cynical, uh, just based on like a misunderstanding,

uh, like they know that people think of the government as a, as a financial entity as rather than as a entity that can make its own money up anytime it wants to. Um, but they, they do that to, you that to enforce austerity measures so that they have all the money.

I've definitely seen people turning on celebrities. Yeah, I've been saying that for a couple weeks now. I feel like celebrities don't make sense anymore. They don't make sense and they're not reading The Room at all. The only people who read The Room and did a good job were Britney Spearsars comrade britney who personally offered to help people out with bills and diaper money and stuff on dm and rihanna who just like gave like five million dollars and didn't fucking say anything about it that's all we want from rich people right now and celebrities

is to just like open wallet. Do something. Nobody wants to see you sing. Right. And also their wealth is predicated on exploiting consumers to give them their money. So at the end of the day, it's like, come send some of that money back the way it came to. And I think that's true. People don't read the room and it's weird to see people now especially when so many people are facing true hardships to be people like lulling it up in like a palatial estate and be like guys you gotta stay home and there's no one there's no one to stop

them i think is the other thing there's no handlers to be like don't do that no i kind of like the publicists have abandoned the celebrities. I like it. The publicists are gone. No one's left. There was a horrible Gisele Bundchen one. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, my God.

So she and her family fled to Costa Rica, and then they posted a video of them singing a Bruno Mars song. And they're like, hope this lifts your spirits and it's just like you're like what the fuck you you went to costa rica you're just screaming bruno mars at me and they're like you know hope you hope you don't hope no one coughs on you bye motherfuckers like they're just yeah the thing of all rich people just like absconding to their vacation homes also super dystopian, obviously. Yeah. It's fun to see how many people that you like that you're just like, I think this was a tweet last week.

Someone's it might have been Mike Drucker who is like, oh, really cool to see how many comedians have parents with really nice summer homes. Love to see it. You're just like, yeah. with really nice summer homes. Love to see it. You're just like, yeah. Well,

I keep saying it's like Blade Runner starts with all the rich people have gone to Mars, right? Like, Blade Runner starts in the LA that's like everyone

who couldn't afford to get out of LA when all the shit starts to go down and like all the rich people have left and gone to their utopian planet settlement.

And then like whoever's left in a city during a pandemic or whatever, it's just like fend for yourself is what the rich people have made clear. Good luck. Bye. Bye. Um, yeah, but as Madonna pointed out,

it is the great equalizer. Oh my God. That was all taking bad rose petals. Like she is the great equalizer. Oh my God. We're all taking baths in rose petals like she is when she said that. Amanda Hastert, a good thing about it in the New York Times where she talked about the Gal Gadot video especially, and she was like, it's not only tone deaf, like literally most of these people can't sing.

My favorite part of the Gal Gadot video isn't even the singing. it's the part where she was like this whole situation has me feeling really philosophical and you're like what are you talking about also she's a whole zionist right yeah oh yes while we're talking about heroes of the pandemic i did want to bring up really quickly the British American Tobacco Company because they are doing the Lord's work. They're the makers of

cigarettes like Rothmans and Don Draper's favorite Lucky Strike. Dude, Benson and Hedges? Yeah, the classics. And they have said, you know what, coronavirus, we kill people by destroying their lungs, not you.

And they are putting money into research to defeat the coronavirus, which is weird, and I don't like it. Well, it's odd because they're sort of, you know, they've pointed to the fact that using, they have like a biotech company that they bought years ago and they're using tobacco plants as a way to develop a vaccine. And I guess they're saying it's advantageous

because tobacco plants, quote, cannot host pathogens which cause human disease. So they're saying it's an easy way, like they've used this sort of tobacco plant strategy before, but never really to the point where you're like, oh, wow, they really bailed us out of a pandemic. It's just a weird opportunity. I like how it's just like lobbying for big tobacco too.

It's just like tobacco, a miracle plant that cures all problems. Right. Yeah. It's incredible how much they i mean this is a great just sort of case study and why capitalism doesn't work because they have so much money and infrastructure built up of making money off of tobacco that like they have learned it is this cursed plant that kills everybody, and they just can't stop. They just have so many people whose jobs are fucking to find a way

to just one way or another justify the use of tobacco in one way or another. It's wild. I guess there is one timeline where the corporations end up doing more bet like doing better for the people than the governments and then they become our new leaders and then we're like wow british american tobacco solved coronavirus no all hail president benson and hedges ended with a bet that's totally part of the dystopia is because we have no public infrastructure all these private companies are like i'll be the one but that's why also you're like Olive Garden literally did a better job than most states.

Right. Cheesecake Factory did a better job. Yeah. Wait, what did Olive Garden do other than bottomless bread bowl and salad? Other than change the world, yeah. They were extending all their sick leave policies before because they wouldn't give people any kind of sick leave.

And it was just like draconian business practices. So taking away their awful world destroying policies. Yeah, I don't know if they solved the thing where they get paid on those prepaid cards. I know some people who work there get paid on a card that they have a stake in that company. So they also recoup the service fees. So I don't know if they solved that part. Again, just a bare minimum of humanity, of being like, oh, our workers are sick.

We'll give them a little bit of sick leave so they don't die and lose all their money. Yeah. But I think all we need is a government that works and is run by people and not human monsters. Silicon Valley companies are never going to become moral at this point. I think we've all seen.

Corporations are specifically designed not to be moral. And especially startups are designed to just get around labor laws. So we're also coming up against that with the Instacart stuff where people are just like, I'm going to outsource the dangerous part of this to a more economically vulnerable person

who might also still get me sick because they have to go be out all day shopping for rich people. Right. Cool world. Cool world. Cool world. Great movie. True fact about where we live.

Great segue. All right, guys. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Seeing that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these...

We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

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. On the 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. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo.

Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right. And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach. That's my husband. Daphne Spring, Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan J. and more.

You got to watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, lacy and amber show on will ferrell's big money players network on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and speaking of cool world that's a movie netflix has those uh the transition his power transitions are good i've been doing this for a while guys this is my first time around the

block um so this is probably the least surprising fact of the quarantine that netflix watch times are up yeah i think everyone's obviously fleeing to it but it's interesting like what these so they have numbers out that again for a disclaimer these are pre tiger king numbers okay pre tiger king numbers also doesn't netflix just not really release its own metrics it's just like whatever netflix says it is exactly it's it's like our elections it's like who the fuck knows i mean maybe they i guess that makes sense but i don't know i don't have enough evidence to know for sure the netflix voting machines aren't working correctly right suddenly oh yeah we forgot all the power cords for these counting machines. Anyway, so their movie Spencer Confidential was the most viewed program on the platform for the week, like going from March 16th to the 22 movies. It's like Mark Wahlberg, Post Malone.

Yeah, I saw Post Malone's picture on it. Oh yeah, I either get the Mark Wahlberg one or the Post Malone as an inmate thumbnail and I'm always like not interested in either of these guys. I get the Post Malone thumbnail. I get Post Malone too. I'm so young you guys.

That's the test. Jack, get a face tattoo. when you get the post malone thumbnail you're just it's almost just like what do you like what do you think of me algo that's where you're at that's where you're at on me i think it's very it's very telling about who you are of whether you get grace or frankie on the tile it changes from person to person i get lily tomlin and I feel good about that, but I know that a lot of people get Jane as well. Well, I know they alternate to try

and just trick you into looking at something like you haven't already looked at it before. Right. I wonder if it switches to post Malone when you've still not watched it when they tried to lure you in with Mark Wahlberg. That they go, okay, Wahlberg ain't doing it. Fire up Malone. For sure. But I think

some of us probably got Post Malone first. I didn't know it was a Mark Wahlberg drama. That's how young I am. I had no idea he was in it. I don't even know who this guy is. I thought he was just a random guy who racially attacked an Asian guy.

So there's another development in these listings here. The next second most watched thing is The Office, which, fine, I think most people realize that people are going to regress into the time of Dunder Mifflin and good timey

ignorance. But they're saying even for the normal times like it's up like millions of watch minutes the normal uh that like apparently the like the office is truly the opiates of the masses at the moment the opioid of the masses people want to workplace comedy because they can't go to work they can't work place yeah and also i think it is like for the next generation they might never get to work in an office environment like will those jobs even exist it's very nostalgic yeah can you imagine those like weird stories that we're gonna tell things because obviously the world will be very different after this when you're like oh yeah i

used to go into an office and we all used to use the same copy machine with our bare hands. We used to touch the same Keurig. That's how I feel when I talk about scrambled porn. Right, right. You kids will never know how much we went through. They're like, what's a set-top box? I'm like, fuck out of here.

You don't know what spice is? Get out of my face. do you guys know anybody who so uh the the full list is netflix is on my block the mark walberg thing love is blind the trials of gabrielle fernandez uh altered carbon and amazon's hunters do you know anyone who's watched those i don't know a single person who's watched any of those well here's my question what the fuck is lock and key lock and key has been in the top 10 of netflix for like a month and every time i pass it i say out loud what the fuck is lock and key there's so many things like that my friend and i call them fake shows shows where you see like the billboard and it's like season three and you're like what the fuck is that like that can't be true that was bullshit there was somebody starring kevin costner yeah burn notice fake show no one's ever watched burn notice yosemite

starring kevin costner it was like season two i was like fake there was no season one of this oh the yosemite stands are coming for you molly the yosemite hive there the yosemite hive i think there was like another ongoing like is mozart in the jungle was that even a show what was it about and did anyone ever see it the like who was in mozart in the jungle i know that there was i could tell you too much about mozart in the jungle i feel like it was about the sexy world of classical musicians there's like an oboe player she was the lead right that was what intrigued me i believe it was like a kirk like a like a kirk sister it's based on a book that somebody wrote about how everybody in orchestras has sex but the people in the book i think were not very attractive maybe i'll watch

no i'm not going to i mean it good. No, the other shows on there, like the Trials of Gabriel Fernandez, my friend told me about that, what it's about. It's about a child murder. That's supposed to be... It's a crime documentary. And it's just a description.

I'm like, yo, that's way too heavy for me right now to watch some shit like that. I watched the first 20 minutes and then I watched it. Yeah. Are these numbers from February? No, this is the week of March 16th. Oh, the week of March 16th.

So we were all Quarren. Lock dizzy, the first lockdown week. So I'm sure the numbers are going to change vastly once the T-King numbers come in. Did you guys know that quarantine comes from 40 days? That's the derivation of that word because that's what they used to do to plague victims is make them stay alone for 40 days.

I did not know that. Not for medical reasons, but for silly biblical things, I think. Right. But that means we're not even halfway there for a classic quarantine. Right? Didn't we start 17 days ago oh yeah well i guess when you put it like that 17 days ago i guess when you put it like that with like math and shit yeah you're right but like vibe wise dude i'm like on day 500

right right right yeah i i've started to lose the thread i think this week has been the week where yeah i really feel for sure that's what everyone said yeah everything is starting to blur together i don't know like weekends from weekdays and everything no this is like a specific title card in The Shining. This feels like, it's weird. It's like I feel myself having weirdly irrational reactions to things, either underreacting or overreacting. And then I also am finding,

I'm also having difficulty tracking other people's reactions to other things because I think everyone's just in a slightly different place mentally. And sometimes, I don't know, I'm just like, I'm just like wait what right right can you give an example I think the mind throws up a veil because everything is so insane it's like the curve on which everything has changed so radically it's like what every sci-fi novel says happens where it's like oh at first everybody was like this is crazy and then everyone just got used to it that novel says happens where it's like, oh, at first everybody was like, this is crazy. And then everyone just got used to it. That is crazy. But also it's like in the middle of it. What are you going to do about it?

Except just sort of adapt in the moment, even though that's a crazy thing to do. Yeah, I've just gotten to that point, too. I think because, you know, like your habits would develop after like three weeks straight of doing something like you start building new habit pathways, I think something around 20-something days. And as I get there, I feel like now I'm completely arrived at that this is the reality. And now, I've said it before, I'm trying to own the situation as much as possible rather than reacting to it. Because I think I've been doing that for... Well, they're just going to own the libs. Yeah possible rather than being like reacting to it because i think i've been doing that for the libs yeah pwn the libs with their their tears yeah yeah but yeah i think that's like the next part has been like okay well if this is it like okay i gotta i'm gonna make i

gotta make the most out of whatever i can given the circumstances i'll tell you one person who's owning the choir, and that is one Mr. Wayne Brady. I love this story so much. So he is currently quarantining with his ex-wife and her boyfriend and their daughter together, which is why they're quarantining together. I feel like my... well where where does where does your empathy go in this situation my what's the situation goes to the daughter yeah that sounds like the worst of that's the lowest and on the four people in there jamie explain what how this

is even like who was whose house are they at why Why is that? I don't understand. Why are they doing this? Well, let's do a little exploration. So I got this. Yeah, I listened to the interview in which he explains it. It's basically he and his ex-wife live next door to each other for their daughter so they can co-parent. Oh, okay. co-parent um okay but he refers to him his ex-wife and her boyfriend as like the new uh modern family type thing uh it's kind of it's just it kind of reminds me of like jason momoa and lenny kravitz like they're like they're friends they're friends they all hang out it's confusing to people but it

works for them would you say it's a grace and frankie situation oh i love that yes it actually i i was originally i was like oh no this sounds like such a an uncomfortable situation but then based on the story everyone it's like uh it may be if I am sort of like, maybe it sucks for the daughter. But it seems like the parents are fine. Maybe it's fine. Like, maybe it's just like a like a co-op. Maybe. I mean, I bet.

I mean, Wayne Brady's got to be like a good dad, like a fun dad. Yeah. It sounds like he's a good dad. Yeah. Like he's doing this. At first I was like was like yo that sucks for him but now it sounds like he's just doing it to be a good dad and he's like you know well if my ex-wife has a new boyfriend i'm gonna suck it up and not be selfish about it because yeah this is

the best thing for my kid and from what i could tell there's I could tell, the whole family is on good terms. His ex-wife congratulated him on winning Masked Singer. You know, it's... He won? He won! Uh-oh, spoilers. Good for him. It was season two. He won. Uh-oh. What's that?

I'm pretty sure people are saying... Sequences don't matter. People are saying that Seth McFarlane is currently on The Masked Singer, which feels inevitable for a Fox reality show where narcissists sing. I'm shocked that they've been able to keep him off The Masked Singer to this point

because he loves to fucking sing. Literally, his emails were going to spam and then they found him and they're like, oh, thank God. He'll come on. he'll dress up as I forget what he's dressed up as wait it's fucked up Stewie he's dressed up as

Peter Griffin he's oh the frog he's literally dressed up as the frog I mean that's the biggest one this season has to be Sarah Palin being on The Masked Singer that was too on the nose for me. That to me is like, yeah, okay,

we are in like a cyberpunk novel, but it sucks actually to be there. Yeah, it's terrible. When it cut from her doing like a better than I would have expected, still horrible rendition of Baby Got Back and then to the president's address telling it, that Wednesday address

where the stock market just plummeted through the bottom of the charts the next morning because he fucked it up so bad. That was probably peak dystopia. Oh, wait. Now people think the frog is ludicrous.

I don't know. I haven't been keeping up. I get those two confused. I haven't been keeping up with the Masked Singer. So this is fun. I'm like, who is the frog? They're like, it's Seth MacFarlane. Next week, they're like, it's ludicrous.

We don't know. I got to tell you, when I was doing my move switch or ooh switch, aka I looked at the video for move bitch, and I was amazed to see that the video is them being stuck in traffic. They took a very literal interpretation of like anytime you could tell a bitch to get out your way. They were like, here's a time people are going to want people to get out of their way

when they're stuck in traffic. They have a whole dry erase board of like, here are some scenarios that we've brainstormed. You can choose your favorites for the song. Yeah. Doesn't everybody sing that song in traffic a lot though? Yeah, probably. Yeah, no, it's a traffic anthem traffic allegedly anyways i had to tell you guys

that i couldn't not tell you that uh i apologize uh let's talk about some quarantine activities really quickly uh who's got one for us i was just saying you know with the content being drying up being like what do i do i found another way of selecting what i watch rather than like aimlessly scrolling through like the same probably 98 titles that i see on the screen is i pick a year from when i used to go to the movies i used to go to the movies high and like you know high school and shit like that so i try and find a movie a year very specifically and i look at all the movies from that year because typically like you're only high school and shit like that. So I try and find a movie a year very specifically. And I look at all the movies from that year.

Because typically, you're only going to remember seminal films or things that were so bad, you just can't forget them. But there are things like just terrible shit, like Dead Man on Campus. I forgot I fucking watched that movie in the theater. Or motherfucking, what's the other one? The Mask of Zorro. No, I'm like just like all these like weird films that are not good, but in a weird way like

when I watch them, something will happen in a film where it triggers another memory I had and I'm somehow like really it transports me to another place. Look, I'm all about transporting guys. I definitely saw Mask of Zorro in theaters when I was a kid. Guys, I just learned a ton about the

inspiration for Zorro. He was a Mexican bandit who hid in the hills and the valley and robbed rich people because some people killed his wife. He was cool.

Damn. All right. I mean, that's true. I loved the Antonio Banderas Zorro was fully my shit. We watched that. I think I watched that movie multiple times in social studies class.

It for real made me be like, man, is Zorro underrated? Should we all get back into Zorro? He's a Robin Hood. Zorro's definitely good. He's cool as hell. Yeah, it's really good. Was that the Mask of Zorro? He's a Robin Hood. Zorro's definitely good. He's cool as hell. Yeah, it's really good. Was that the Mask of Zorro?

That was, right? Is that which, I can't, like, I know that there's a million of them. Is that the one you saw in theaters, Miles? Yeah, Mask of Zorro, I think is, that's Banderas. Banderas one? That's Banderas. The Daily Zorro. Those are fun.

Yeah. I mean, it was so iconic that it led to Puss in Boots, right? Right, right. swashbuckling oh it didn't even make that connection wow quarantine's actually good i totally agree with miles i was doing this even before quarantine but just like picking a year usually just a year in the 90s and being like what were the shitty movies that like i saw that i would just enjoy watching right now and like polly with jay moore oh totally totally the parrot movie polly with jay moore yeah you don't remember that a talking oh that's not a long came polly that's

a no no it's just polly but my brother just watched Along Came Polly. Also, just like a fine movie. It's all like movies that would be on cable. That's like all anyone wants. Semi-pro is I watched for the first time and liked it. I've been trying to...

Yeah, I've been trying to get my boyfriend to watch that. Maybe I'll just watch it. I feel like any of those Will Ferrell sports movies from that era probably have at least like five good jokes in them that would make me laugh. There's some laughs. There's some really good, what's his name who played Will Arnett? There's some good Arnett in that one. Oh, wait.

No, I was thinking of Will Forte again. I made that same mistake earlier this week. I want to make out with Will Forte again. I made that same mistake earlier this week. I want to make out with Will Forte. Yeah, Last Man on Earth is really good, but I don't know if I can handle watching it right now. Not now. No, definitely not. I think it starts with a title card that's like,

After the Virus. No. Does it really? Oh, no. My quarantine activity is, I think I talked about this maybe like a month or so ago but i'm back on my high school boyfriend's um wedding registry um and i just keep edging on getting something like something affordable and then just being like from just saying like he okay first of all he has a tp on his wedding registry like he and

right which is like mystery have kids no they just want a tp they why don't you buy him that and then cancel it and then let send a note being like you shouldn't have this here's why this is ridiculous yeah i don't know i want to buy him a teepee and then just like sign it with like not my name but just be like someone who really feels like we could have had something more but i wish you the best is this your boyfriend who you had a uh show that where you contacted no no no not him no he's we're actual wait did you have like the denise show this adam sandler sketch where he calls his ex-girlfriend but no no i had a show where like i i reenacted losing my virginity and the guy i lost my virginity to like skyped in from the military base he works at

would just like give some notes. He's great. This is like my first boyfriend ever who I barely dated, but I did find his wedding registry and I'm so tempted to get him this teepee. All right. Well, guys, Molly. That's a good quarantine activity. That is a great quarantine activity.

Look up your axes. My quarantine activities, I've been cooking a lot. I love to cook. And it's also like a stress reliever because it's just like anything where I'm just chopping vegetables. I've always found extremely calming. Just not have to use your brain. Just have to

focus on a task right in front of you. But I also one weird thing I do a lot is look at the Earthcam website, which is if you just get tired of watching content that has like a plot and jokes, Earthcams are in major cities. So I've always looked at them anyway, because I already like to look at like weird abandoned Times Square in the middle of the night. anyway, because I already like to look at weird abandoned Times Square in the middle of the night. But suffice to say, they're all really dystopian now because there's one on Bourbon Street where there's just nobody on Bourbon Street, and that's really weird.

There's one on Hollywood Boulevard. My friend Darcy went for a walk. She lives in Manhattan, and she walked to Times Square to the location of the Earth Cam so I could see her there on her social distance walk. She lives in Manhattan and she walked to Times Square to the location of the Earth cam so I could see her there on her like social distance walk. But there's also, if that's too dystopian for you, which I understand is starting to get a little too weird, although I do look at the Fremont Street, empty Las Vegas one all the time. Explore.org has animal cams that are super calming in the vein of what miles was talking about of like nature soundscapes if you just want to put it on as background noise of like a swamp or a forest

or something it's very good but also it's like um yeah there's a swamp one that's all these like spoonbill cranes in a swamp and there's a bear cam in al. I always talk about this on Night Call. I love to watch the bear fish for salmon in Alaska. Wait, you can do that live? Yeah. And when it's not live, they have best ofs. There's a whole commenter community where people are like, check this out, a bear caught a salmon at this timestamp. That sounds amazing.

Yeah, there's an owl cam. They do nest cams every year and I have been watching an owl that just gave birth to some owl chicks. So that was very gratifying for me personally. That's amazing. Yeah, it's like very calming.

There are currently five people in Times Square total. I'm just looking at the live feed right now. And then they'll disappear. It's almost like a very weird feeling. And also it froze for a second, and then I had to hit play, and then they all walked across. It felt like it was a Truman Show thing.

They were just doing this for my benefit to be like, okay, he's watching. Go, go, go. Anyways, Molly, it's watching. Go, go, go. Um, anyways, Molly, it's been a pleasure having you, uh,

miles with second b you know I think it's good to have a lot of live instruments more than like synthesized stuff. There's, you know, there's a balance. You know, sometimes the synth stuff, the sample-based stuff scratches my itches, but other times I feel like hearing a live band play instruments brings a level of energy to your ears.

So I want to do another band. That's another one of my favorite like sort of Afrobeat bands from the United States, the Budos Band. And this is from, I think one of their first albums, but this track is called Up From The South.

And, you know, check out their stylings, great brass section, great rhythm section. And like a lot of their work is really super fun to listen to. Up from the 36 chambers. That's what that made me think. Up from the 36 chambers. That's what that made me think of.
