Yeah So just buckle in everyone Let's do it again Look at the instrumental on there Thank you so much Because yesterday I was talking about How Last Call from Kanye West Was one of my favorite songs

So that was from At Trees And the homie J j wrote on instagram so yeah combined you guys gave me about a half a verse and we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by perennial great podcast host and hilarious comedian billy wayne davis i'm not gonna rap all right aka i'm not gonna write aka i'm not gonna write your book billy wayne what is something from your search history that is revealing about you uh yesterday i was searching for drone video of scientology buildings oh that is interesting to see if like how they end up or if people can get – like what do you mean? You just wanted to see –

No, there's this dude. Yeah, because there's certain places like – Gold Base. Gold Base, there's a drone video of it. Oh, really? It's one of the craziest things. What is Gold Base? It's the one out in Hemet, California.

Okay. Hemet. Hemet, yeah. Where you have to – like where those people escaped from. Yeah, it's like jail. There were like black cars coming for them and shit. Hemet. Hemet, yep. Where you have to, like, where those people escaped from. Yeah, it's like jail. There were, like, black cars coming for them and shit. His dad. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude's dad escaped. It's really crazy. Wait, so what inspired you to be like, wait, I need to see this from the sky? I was in Humboldt County, and we were, I just did radio in this place called Ferndale, and we were driving out to this beach, and we passed this – it just looks like a mountain road up the side of a mountain. Just where I come from, it's just like, oh, that's where some hillbillies live. Right, right.

But there was, like, one of those old 60s signs that says, Way to Petrolia. And I was like, what is Petrolia? And the dude was like, oh, there's, like, a town up there. You have to blah, blah, blah, but it's next to the Scientology tomb blah blah what he said it's a tomb tomb and i was like what do you you can't just say that and he's like we don't have time i gotta go get my and uh we were like me and my buddy that was driving we're like cool we're gonna drop you back off and then the show's not till eight so it's like noon he's like yeah you'll have enough time to get there and stuff i did this thing where i

was like i just looked enough into it not to be like oh we shouldn't do this right right right so i just looked enough like let's drive up there and he's like cool yeah then we get up there and we've been driving what seems like forever on this just mountain road in it for like 40 minutes and it said we'd driven like eight miles and i was like oh we don't have time right right so then i looked it up and there was no way we could have gotten to it and it's like where they keep all the records of everything that l ron hubbard had ever uh written it's like everything and like every iteration of tom cruise in his human form that they've released so i mean

there's i'm sure there's stuff and there's like rumors like his body's up there and like all of it's like makes sense and it's at the top of this mountain you're like cool but someone took a drone and you can see it wow and but then when i could see it like that i was like oh there's no way we could have gotten right right right because it's at the top of the mountain which is very smart to control who comes up at a certain level i'm definitely picturing the top of the mountain, which is very smart to control who comes up at a certain level. I'm definitely picturing the end of The Prestige where it pulls out and there's like 30 different bodies. Hugh Jackman is like floating dead in a case of water. Yeah, exactly. Oh, you thought that was Nicole Kidman?

Right, my man. Humans look like that. Well, that's crazy. Did you see anything good? Did you see any people trying to escape? No, but every now and then on some of them you can see people looking up. But I know for a fact you can't shoot those down because there was one over my neighborhood recently. And my first thought was like, well, I'm going to look that up before I do it.

And then you can't what do you mean you can't you cannot shoot even if they're over your property it's illegal legally you can't shoot down a drone even if it's over your property right really huh yeah well yeah and also you probably can't discharge a firearm in a residential area if i had a baby gun i could right take that motherfucker i have a scoped b BB gun. Easy. Allegedly, I have a BB gun. Yeah. Well, I might allegedly have one. That's what's in the corner there. It's not actually a palm tree.

I just put it in a pot of soil. Exactly. But yeah, everybody should read Going Clear. Tom Cruise, his life is built around slave labor. That's worth keeping in mind. Hey, we'll call them interns. Exactly. Sea Org. Yeah. Sea Org.

Yeah, Sea Org. It's fucking bonkers. Not interns. All right. What is something that's underrated, Billy? Scientology, you know? It turns out. It turns out I got my personality.

As far as like having a vision and seeing it through? Yeah, seriously. Can we, I mean, ethically and morally just not great no let's move that to the side but as far as being like hey i'm gonna do this thing and everybody's like okay and then he did that thing he did he fucking did that really did it to death what it was like the the thing like was it him and like other writers talking to each? And he was like, I'm going to start a religion. Where the real money's at is starting your own religion. Everybody's like, anyway, call. Right.

Right. He remembered one of those drunken conversations that I've had and forgotten. He just kept it up there and then went and did the fucking thing. Was Isaac Asimov or something around when he was saying that? I feel like I always hear his name brought up with like, was Isaac Asimov or something around when he was saying that? I feel like I always hear his name brought up with like him talking, like L. Ron Hubbard talking to Isaac Asimov. There was a weird crew that lived together

in like this mansion of like sex religion. And I forget who the other authors were. Sex religion. Sex religion, yeah. There was this dude, Jack something. It was like an early NASA. Jack O'Brien. Yeah, he's like an early NASA figure and helped found the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and also founded his own sex religion.

I like two things, Percy and Jesus. Right. And rocket propulsion. Yeah. And that guy, he and L. Ron lived together for a little while in the early days, and pretty weird place out in Pasadena. I knew it was out here. I knew it was like somewhere in Southern California where it's like,

oh, yeah, all these crazy people. Did you ever get an e-reading? No, I got kicked out of a place in Louisville once because they saw my – Wait, you went to a Scientology center in Louisville? It was across the street from the comedy club perfect i don't think i was the first or last comedian to do that and the dude was like what are you in town for and i was like i'm doing stuff i'm looking for purpose he's like get out of here oh like the second you walked in like oh he he just, no, I was, I. Or you're like, hey, I'd love to know more about my brain. I think it was probably the way, the order of the questions I probably asked.

He was probably like, okay, dickhead. Yeah. Yeah. You're immediately like, yeah. You want the Dianetics or what? What's something that is overrated, do you think? The internet. All right.

As we know it. Yeah. And what is a myth? What's something that people believe to be true and is not that you know based on personal experience is not true? That men are simple. That men are simple. That is a myth. Okay.

What do you mean? What? Can you give an example of like a place that you see this myth? Like you're talking about the sort of dads in commercials myth where dads are portrayed as having the intelligence of golden retrievers. I think it's the myth that we don't feel the emotions. Gotcha. It's just how we react to emotions is different than females. Right.

But I think the myth that we don't feel them. Right. Yeah, that's – Most men are just terrible at processing the emotions. Oh, without a doubt. And I am not. Yeah. Without –

It's the processing that's really fucked up. Oh, shit. What was that? That was not it at all. And I think having a, raising a boy has opened my eyes to a lot too. We're like, oh, chill. Hey. No, I see what you think you feel right here, but that's not what it is.

Oh, what do you, what kind of lessons are you talking about? I think overall we're taught that feeling certain emotions in certain situations is the bad thing. When it's like that's not the bad – you can't control the emotions you feel. It's the way you react to those emotions is the bad thing. If you're accepting them or resisting them. Yeah, I mean feeling them, you can't fucking control that. Like sometimes I get mad. I'm like, why am I mad right now?

Right, right. And you're like, oh, because this reminds me of this and it's not that at all. Right, right, right. But I'm old enough to be like, oh like oh yeah you know your own patterns basically yeah but we're taught you shouldn't feel that right now right right it's like yo that's not you can't fucking control what you feel you shouldn't be who you are right now yes that's it's like no no how you react to that emotion was wrong yeah right now you gotta be like okay right right right right but feeling it is not bad yeah that's a that's a conversation a lot of people have been having

uh after the mass shooting the most recent mass shooting in florida and you know mike liam black had a interesting thing i think he's a father to a son at least and uh he's talking about just the fact the way that we train boys to you know be men and what masculinity means is sort of off the mark and i think i think that is basically the sort of rosetta stone of of uh toxic masculinity is just this idea that a lot of young men get early, early in life. And I know I did, I don't know if I think things might've improved, uh, to a certain extent, but you know, that the only emotion it's acceptable to have are basically anger and that's it. So like everything you, every emotion you have ends up coming out as anger. And that's that's not healthy. And it's all it's also not realistic. Right, right, right. Yeah, there hasn't been a real shift in how we define masculinity that like it used to be like, oh, we had to be angry a lot to protect ourselves because we because things were out to get us.

Right. And so you had to be so like there's part of that that it's like it's just tough. It's like a weird time for literally everyone because we have all this look at this stuff right this is crazy right i mean if i brought my grandma he's just gesturing to general technology right like all this room is just wires and we're talking to microphones and there's screens everywhere that goes to the internet if i bring my grandmother in here, she'd be like, is this a job? Is this? Oh, he works for NASA.

He's the NASA. He's the NASA. Right. So that's part of why we don't know how to process things, too. Right. Our brain was designed at a time, you know, it was designed for survival back when we hadn't made it out of the food chain yet. We were still in the food chain, and that world is so different from the world we exist in now. I mean, we're still killing elephants.

Right. Really. The fucking coolest animal. That is insane. That and giraffes. Every time I see that, I'm like, what are you doing? Right. Shout out to Planet Earth 2.

There's a great giraffe lion chase in Planet Earth 2 that ends the way you would want it to. Yeah, the lion. Giraffe eats the lion. Yeah. No, it fucking like jump kicks the lion. Some dentist shoots both of them. Oh, really? Yeah. Giraffes are fucking awesome, man. Yeah, I wouldn't fucking. giraffe eats the lion yeah no no fucking like jump kicks the lion it's dope oh really yeah it's fucking giraffes are fucking awesome yeah i wouldn't fuck they're so fast have you ever seen the video of uh a giraffe like there there were these german people on safari and they're

like the video opens and they're just speeding away and they're like screaming at the top of their lungs right and then like they put the camera back and a giraffe is just running after them. Oh, like fucking the T-Rex in Jurassic Park? It's the T-Rex from Jurassic Park scene, except it's a giraffe. And the giraffe is like so athletic and so fucking fast. Right, right. And they're just like crying. They're like, what's it going to do when it catches us?

And then finally they like outrun it. But it's- I love that. Like all you ever see giraffes do when you're growing up is eat leaves off of tall trees or whatever. But yeah, they are athletic as fuck, man. Our whole source income just closed this week. We're mad. Yeah, exactly.

We are mad. Shouts to Toys R Us. Rest in toys. All right. Let's get into format, guys. toys all right let's get into format guys uh first off i just wanted to make sure that everybody has heard about my favorite new club that uh i i'm going to be joining i think we have a sound clip support for this podcast and the following message come from the npr wine club discover hand-selected wines from around the world. Learn the stories behind each one and enjoy unique bottles inspired by favorite NPR shows.

If you're 21 or older, uncork a special offer at NPRwineclub.org. Come on, liberals. Wait, what the fuck? Liberals have just become satire of themselves. What did I just hear? That's not satire? No, that's not satire. That is fucking

on npr podcast this week they they just decided i mean they've got to make money somehow i guess but yeah the public funding is gone right but oh no that's yeah you know the all grapes considered mall back as nick stump super producer Nick Stumpf wrote. Wait, so they said these are, wait, that's real? No, that's all. Okay, so Nick just told us. He wrote this out. I thought he was joking.

The weekend edition Cabernet Sauvignon. All grapes considered Malbec and NPR uncorked Merlot. What the fuck? Yo, NPR uncorked Merlot. What the fuck? Yo, NPR. It sounds like they hired some people from legit terrestrial radio to come in and be like, Right. We need to make money. It's like some dude named Devins.

I know how to do this shit. Listen to me. Yeah. Look at your audience. What do they love? Wine. Password, password, password. What else do they love? NPR. NPR wine. I'm done. Smoke bomb your audience. What do they love? Wine. Password, password, password. What else do they love?

NPR. NPR wine. I'm done. Smoke bomb. Where's my check, bitch? And he's too fast and everyone's just too polite. Right. Yeah, exactly.

Hey, what are you scared? What are you talking about over there? You don't like this idea? And when he leaves, everyone's like, I don't like him. Is it two on the nose? What? I just don't want to stand up to him. What the fuck does that mean?

He did push-ups before he came in the pitch meeting. And then they just go along with it because they don't want him to come back. Yeah, because he's just such a crazy alpha. And yeah, they got cucked into a horrible idea. Oh, man. Wait, so it's basically they're just saying... You're listening to Morning Zoo Crew on NPR. Devin is our new programmer, programming manager.

Yeah, I don't know, man. Say bitch more. Say bitch more. Hey, Warren Alney, fucking say bitch more, you little bitch. All right. Another quick thing we wanted to hit up top is Snapchat had this ad ad uh for for a game called would you rather and uh the ad that was approved by snapchat was would you rather slap rihanna or punch chris brown uh and rihanna replied by you know just explaining very uh you know carefully and kindly why that wasn't funny.

And, you know, how disrespectful it was to victims of domestic violence and children and women who have who are victims of domestic violence. And then she was like, shame on you. Throw the whole app ology away. And oh, yeah. Like preemptively was like, don't don't worry about apologizing to me i'm just deleting your tweet and uh apparently a lot of rihanna fans which is a lot of people the navy yeah the most of the people uh i'm in there yeah yeah they uh they have been deleting the snapchat app and its value uh on the stock market went down 4% in one day.

That's awesome. They lost over a billion dollars because some dumbass approved this ad that was designed by Devin from the NPR. That's what got me fired. Because think about it, man. You're appealing to the women who want to punch Chris Brown and the bros who are like, man, I'd slap Rihanna. You see what I'm saying? With my dick. Check out this Venn diagram real quick.

Right, right, right. And in the overlap here, just cucks, dude. He started yelling numbers. I hate that guy. Snapchat, of course, is the same app that recently lost a bunch of their Wall Street value because I think Kylie Jenner said, is it just me or does nobody open Snapchat anymore? Lol, lol, lol, lol, lol. Lol, lol, lol, lol. And their stock just plummeted.

Could you imagine? Like, that would be so maddening to be like the CEO of that company and just be like, fuck Kylie Jenner. All the stories about that place are fucking wild too. Like I, from the few people I know who have, who work there or have worked there, I, it sounds like a kind of chaotic place to be. Yeah. We'll probably do a deep dive. They were buying up all the real estate in Venice. Yeah.

Like all the coolest homes in Venice were being bought by Snapchat and people were not that psyched about it. It's that weird thing when they get money like that and they're like, let's spend it on real stuff so we have real stuff. Right, right. Exactly. Instead of this made up thing they gave us money for. Right. I left Snapchat because I was going around doing general meetings here and it was like two years ago and everybody's like uh do you have like a snapchat show so i downloaded

and looked at and i was like no i don't no and i never will yeah i am not interested in this no this is do you guys think this is gonna last and they're like yeah and i was like is this the thing i said this in a meeting i was like is this the app that the pictures disappear and everybody's like no you can just the pictures disappear and i was like i don't think you guys understand how pictures work or data works right no no and then it came out that all those pictures are somewhere right oh it's not it's not truly ephemeral like they say what oh man i need to find someone at snapchat uh give me one i've made a terrible mistake it has a mole on it can you find it uh and then lastly

speaking of uh technology i don't totally understand, Twitch had its most streamed event a couple nights ago just when Drake and Travis Scott decided to start playing some video game with a well-liked Twitcher. Ninja. Ninja. Could you believe Drake and Travis Scott played Fortnite with Ninja on Twitch? Come on. Is there a door or a window I need to jump out?

You know, like Twitch, I understand why people use it. Personally for me, and I told you, Jack, it reminds me of when I was the little kid playing video games with older kids and I only got to watch them play. I want to have my hands on the game. Right. Watch them play. I want to have my hands on the game. Right. So Twitch, for people that don't know, is just TV where you get to watch other people playing video games and you hear them and see their faces.

And you can interact with them. Interact with them and comment. And a lot of people are making a lot of money that way. Yeah, a lot of people. Yeah. And so Drake just made a cameo on one of these professional gamers' streams, and it blew up. It was a huge event a couple nights ago. 628,000 concurrent viewers is what a typical major sporting event would get. Not like the Super Bowl, but like a good NBA game would probably see about that many viewers at a given time. Okay.

About that. Not if like Drake was playing or something. No, that would – yeah, if he was playing basketball, that would get much bigger. Right, exactly. The one thing – the clips I saw of it were kind of just funny because it's interesting. Exactly. The one thing, the clips I saw of it were kind of just funny because it's interesting. You know, like people who online game, right? We talk a certain way because you're just sort of functionally describing, you know, to strategize.

You're like, oh, wait, someone's around the door. Like I just got killed or whatever. So to hear Drake be like, the one guy's like, ah, damn, I got killed. He's like, damn, you got killed again. And then like those long pauses because it's not like a real conversation. Like, all right, cool. All right, I'm going to come around. I'm going to come around.

Just like. Right. But hearing Drake sort of just be talking very sort of like involved in the game was the most, I think, I don't know. That was the interesting thing to me. I find that he's a person. Yeah, yeah. But also that he, but, you know, because he has sort of certain personalities he adopts and one, he's rapper Drake. But clearly it felt like he was

gaming as aubrey graham right so which was funny because i'm like oh this feels a little more sincere to you because you just had his real name yeah aubrey graham okay yeah sorry did that just change things for you no but it's not once i saw him on saturday night live and he did all the rappers that's when i was like oh i see who you are you're just a mimic more than anything else and he's a writer of amazing hooks I mean yeah I'm not taking away but I mean as like an artist I'd much rather listen to like

2 Chainz and Lil Wayne because they were like they weren't on the graphic well that helps they were also on Nickelodeon when they were 15 I have always linked Twitch and podcasting They were also on Nickelodeon when they were 15. hang with somebody it's like totally unmediated hanging out with somebody watching what they're doing in real time there's no editing and you know podcasts you feel like you're listening in on a conversation with people uh who you want to hang out with essentially kind of like forums

were right yeah remember like there's a special thing it's still a thing especially but there was a forum on that website where like louis ck and pat and oswald would come on and talk sometimes i remember that that was like 10 or 15 years ago yeah but i mean sometimes it's not even like fame like a lot of the twitch streamers is just like people who are only famous for being twitch streamers you guys know who Dan TDM is? No. You don't have an eight-year-old, do you? No, I don't. Who's Dan TDM? TDM.

Dan TDM. Yeah, he is a YouTuber who plays. Oh, with blue hair? Yes, he lives in London, England. My son dressed up as him for Halloween. Wow. He watches. What he does is he plays like Minecraft and all this stuff.

Right. And he's kind of funny, but to them he's really funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I watched it, and I'm like, okay, he's not a hack. Right, right, right. Right. All right, that was good. Yeah, it's like four, eight-year-old, but he understands joke structure and stuff, like he's funny.

Yeah. It's like hanging out. When I was eight years old, I would go to my funny friend's house and watch him play video games and just be, like, entertained by that. And they learn. Like, and then he'll go back to Minecraft. Right. My son will and be like, do this other stuff. He's like, oh, I saw him do this and I learned it.

Right. I was like, oh, that's cool. I don't have any problem with this. Yeah. Like, this isn't mindless. This is like, it's, okay okay it's an interesting thing that's happening i think it's interesting too i don't think this is something that would happen 15 years ago because i don't think we had like commodified just general unmediated human

interactions like we just hung out with people right right right but like i don't necessarily see it as a bad thing if you can like hang out with the best video game player and like watch him be funny oh yeah you know like yeah it's kind of cool yeah you found that i just think it's different in the neighborhood was like have you seen kevin play punch out he's better than everybody else right and then you go to kevin's house and you're like god kevin holy shit i didn't know you could do that. Oh, I see what he's doing. Yeah. Right.

Now it's just like Kevin happens to be in Paris. Right. That makes, yeah. Yeah. See, it's like cable guy. Play Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam. He's hanging on the satellite. But yeah, I also think about too, like, the performative aspect, though, is interesting also because I feel like as a kid, I would perform as i played video games in front of

like if i played gta i was like having commentary as i like wilded out in the streets right and i would just say crazy shit so uh you know suffice to say when red the new red dead game comes out i'll probably start twitching and acting crazy in that game yeah watch out for that for stay tuned for that. were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of

that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Yeah. It was a shit storm for the GOP and – I feel like shit's probably happened as we're talking. Right. It probably is. Just look outside and there's shit Pennsylvania special election loss was

tough hit that they took we talked about that on Wednesday but you know it hadn't officially been called for Conor Lamb I still think that the Republicans are probably going to challenge it because they just don't want to come to terms with the reality that they lost a district that as recently as the 2016 election that was plus 20 Republican.

So people are thinking that basically any district is in play now, anything that's like – Even the gerrymandered ones. Right. Yeah, like this one. That's the one that they really – they're like, oh, son of a bitch. Right. But we cheated. You still can't win.

Right. Well, the message is they matter to people now as people become more and more engaged with how the government works and what that means to their day-to-day lives so that's where greed really fucked them as they over instead of just slowly fleecing like the dick cheney kind of old school republican way like hey we're taking them but just fucking give us like 15 years chill and just say some america stuff and we'll get a little bit of it yeah these guys right we'll take all of it right now yeah it really is easy jethro really is just highlighting like the trump is taking a highlighter to all of the shit that you know they were just kind of sweeping under the rug and we were letting them get away with for a long time because even like all the you know the fucking voter suppression

shit they're trying to do like chris kobach who headed up that voter fraud commission, like he's getting owned in court like every day apparently. Right. He actually doesn't even know how the law works. Right. And he like represented himself and the judge literally was like, hey, man, do you need to take a second to learn the law? Because you don't even know how to like enter evidence. Just getting dunked on by like a local court. It's just crazy.

Yeah. Pardon me, counselor. Do you have Google? Yeah. Yeah. Why? You need to Google law. Okay.

Okay. All right. Shit. So moving on because we unfortunately for for apparently a lot of financial documents. Yeah. Again. Well, and he went straight with the subpoena too, right? Right.

Where it wasn't like – because that's – the move is – and this is because I've had a fun life. Right, because you were accused of treason many years ago. I mean, domestic treason. Divorce. Yeah, you go and be like, can we have those documents? And they're like, nah, we're good. And you're like, okay. Then you go and do that.

Right, and subpoena them. Ben Mueller was like, hmm. Yeah, well, I i mean because when you look because remember for a while like trump was like that's a red line like don't get into my personal finances my family business finance but now trump's like i don't give a flake fuck your line like here are the subpoenas muller's like that oh i'm sorry yeah what did i say trump yeah whatever yeah fuck it i'll be like that is a turn yeah yeah, no. And then so and now to know that, yeah, they're really looking into like sort of what kind of correspondence was happening with the Trump organization. It brings a lot of things into like, you know, from the Trump Moscow Tower deal, you know, because they're saying that could have been sort of a huge element of this collusion case.

Money laundering. Right. collusion case uh money laundering right or even like how like this like weird ass marshall plan they had to like carve up the middle east like with like different power plants that was funded by you know russia and the americans and like people in the united arab emirates uh god i mean it just seems like they're you know it's getting hot i mean the way i look at it is okay we we've all like okay none of us are rich people here we've all except for me i spent seven thousand dollars at a week's that right you gotta learn you can't can't tell you can't tell daily podcast and people be like he makes a ton of money he's been seven thousand

i think you understand that's called a joke everyone but yes but i'm sorry go on but we're not rich no and anybody has been like i need some money you know what i mean right so and when you need money you do some dumb shit from time to time right but all our dumb shit has been like yeah i fucking got boosted something or yeah yeah right like i wrote a bad check and then they caught me and it cost me 150 or some shit like that well when you're a billionaire and you need money you do shady shit and you never think that the russian government might make you be the president um yeah i mean this like just just Rick Broadley, the Trump – the story of like how Trump gets into all these weird financial things is he bankrupted multiple casinos, which is hard to do because people – it's like a business where people just come in and they're like, here's our money. And then they go steal money to give you more money.

Here's all the money. And he kept bankrupting those and so uh you know actual legitimate financial institutions in america just stopped working with him they were like yo we're not yo you fucked up the money machine money uh so uh he started having to go to overseas countries uh other countries that the world – banks and all the people who pay attention to international finance are like – yeah, these people seem to be just straight-up financial criminals. And not hiding it. Like, yeah, what? Right, right.

I'm also good at paperwork. Right. Now I'm going to brazil they would take huge loans or you know do giant uh real estate deals with these people who are just you know traditionally seen as if you're doing business with them they're probably like just laundering money like straight up just using you as a place to store money that they got illegally uh so So that's what it looks like might have happened. And the reason this matters, like, you know, for people who don't give a shit about financial crimes is that, like, gives so much leverage to other people if you have, like, these,

you know, financial crimes in your background. Oh, God. You know, that's probably why no one can get a security clearance on his fucking staff. Right. Oh, and also that. Have they given him one? No, they say if he actually were to apply for one, he probably wouldn't even get a security. OK, that's.

Yeah. Right. It's just implied in the entire system that the president has security clearance. Yeah. Because you're. Yeah. Because we elected him. Right.

Yeah. But when you look you know because he's been because trump has had a pretty calm week right because there's a lot of departures and things a lot of people say the muller and like stormy daniel's things have been sort of throw fully throwing him into like i don't think he's a holy shit mode fuck about this stormy dandles shit i think he thinks it makes him look cool. Right. I think that's who that dude is. I think psychologically he fascinates me because it's that weird mushrooms kind of tripping balls thing where you're just like – where you start thinking about perception-wise, he's not wrong. That dude has never lost. Right. So that's why he acts and does the thing.

And, like, even to this point, it's still, like, to him, he's not, he doesn't give a shit about doing good for the country or doing good for Russia or anybody. It's, like, he gives a shit about, is the bed I sleep in super nice? Do I get to ride in a helicopter to do the thing I want to go do? But it doesn't even, like, he wants to do, like, I mean, a lot of the reports are that he's a very frustrated character. Because he has to get up and talk to people. That's why I think it's like, it's like you're, it's like a eight year old. He reminds me of my son where it's like, he likes swimming class. He doesn't like going to swimming class. Oh, like once he gets there though. It's fun as hell. Right, right. But they're like, hey, we got to going to swimming class oh like well once he gets there though it's fun as hell right right but they're like hey we gotta go to swim class i don't want it's like yo to do all

the fucking jet stuff and talk and go the rallies you have to go do this stuff and he's like i don't want to do it right okay well then just lie to trudeau when you're negotiating yeah i did i did because i don't know anything he believed he believed it. He's so dumb. He's like, no, he didn't believe it. Right. He actually knows what's going on in his country. And he's like, yeah, so I don't care because I'm going to go watch TV and eat food. And some fucking guy with a gun is going to go get it for me.

I'm the best. And you're like, son of a bitch, he's kind of right. Right. That's the most frustrating. Well, that's why I think a lot of people, especially his legal counsel, worry about even how he's going about even dealing with the probe and things like that. Because, yes, in his mind, he's operating on a certain level. But then eventually you'd think that he would have to reconcile his reality with actual reality. No, he never has.

I mean, he never has. traditional sense of how we think of consequences right um his son is getting a divorce that's you know we don't know much about that other than that just uh oh the cops are coming you're going to jail oh who doge you right don don jr i'm married for money i didn't marry a criminal yeah right that's what's going on in that house i mean yeah doubted doubt well i'm sure after too because she was the one who got the fake anthrax letter right right so yeah i'm sure white powder was rushed to a hospital i found out it was from their side right and yeah that's got to be unsettling too it's like look i'm married to you for you know for a nice apartment in manhattan and now i'm getting fucking fake anthrax in the mail and i have to talk to federal prosecutors all the time.

And they told me you're going to jail. Bye. Right. Yeah, I'm going to go to California where it's 50-50. Right. So he also had to admit that his main man, Vladimir Putin, is actually a bad guy. This was just a bad week in terms of being someone from the West who is a fan of Vladimir Putin. And, you know, Russia straight up murdered a dude last week or tried to murder a guy and then might have murdered another guy as people were like, hey, why'd you murder this other guy? And they're like, shut up.

Yeah. Yeah. And you like boys. So, yeah, people are calling it like the colder war or the coldest of wars between the UK is kicking Russian diplomats out of the UK. Russia is kicking UK diplomats out of Russia. And America finally started punishing Russia for their interference in the election. But it's even then. It's not really that much of a departure of the sanctions Obama had already put in place. It's like – it's just sort of like being able to say, oh, we added a couple of names to that list without fully like going all in.

But I didn't even expect them to do that much. But yeah, what you're talking about is this Putin critic Nikolaiushkov, who was found strangled to death at his home in London. At first it seemed like they were pointing towards suicide because all of his friends were coming out and being like, no, he seemed very happy. There's no way he committed suicide. Like I was talking to him right before he was found strangled and he was the happiest I've ever seen him. The last thing he told me was like, you know what I'm never going to do? Commit suicide. Right. See you.

And also there were apparently a bunch of like power or what are those called? Supercars. Supercars that just like randomly showed up at his house in the days before he died. And people were like, huh, he doesn't usually drive like five Lamborghinis at the same time. He must have rich friends. Anyways, this morning, the morning we're recording this, Friday morning, the UK has officially opened a murder investigation. So it's no longer being like viewed as an accident or a

potential suicide they're looking into it as a murder investigation so yeah what a time I mean Putin is fucking Christopher Nolan the Joker is what he is he's just like he's like I'm gonna watch this whole thing burn right yeah my country

you guys looted my whole thing after the Cold War ended. Every one of you capitalists and motherfuckers came in and just looted my whole country. Now I'm going to slowly destroy the whole thing. God. In a very obvious way, too. Well, I think now he's just seeing how much. He can get away with. Yeah, like the Russian spy, like the spy thing.

Just my first thought as someone who enjoys history is like, oh, that's very Archduke. Franz Ferdinand. Yeah, where it's kind of like most people are like, oh, this is like nothing. You're like, it feels more. Right. Why does everyone care so much about this nothing? Right, right. Well, because I think now we were in an environment where like, yo, Russia is wilding the fuck out. more right why does everyone care so much about this nothing right right thing well because i

think now we were in an environment where like yo russia is wilding the fuck out and then like when it becomes sort of it's really in your face like oh oh yeah double agent murdered with russian or not attempted murder of a russian double agent with like a very russian specific nerve agent right then people like our world's looking around like are we gonna do some god right which is how world war ii started right yep and i mean that's the thing is i i think that's what he wants i think i always had the impression that you know hitler was this guy who like stormed to power and then the war started and we had to fight hitler back like hitler was a thing for decades like people were like ah fucking hitler you know like that we weren't sure what he was doing yeah yeah but he was a household name and we were also appeasing him as well well for a while it just

looked like he was rebuilding germany that was in shambles so for a while they're like this hitler he's all right yeah he cleaned up the up the neighborhood. He was pretty popular, actually, in America because at that time. Time's the man of the year. Yeah. At that time, eugenics was like the hot shit in America. Like, business leaders all wanted to. Glad that went away. Yeah.

Well. He said well. What? Has it? No, no, that was. I said it dripping, but with my accent. So what was the Trudeau thing? I actually didn't catch this, Miles.

That was just him. Like when talking about trade deficits, he basically just lied to Trudeau about facts that were just not real. And then he was told – in a room full of donors, I think in Missouri or something. He was like, yeah, and I told him it was this, and I don't know. I was just making up numbers. I was just making up stuff. I can't fucking believe it. And people were like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Oh, really? Yeah. And so there is like, yo, you straight up lied. But then obviously the White House had to scramble and be like, oh, that's him in entertaining mode. He's just riffing with donors and stuff like that. So either way, he lied to the donors or he's lying to Trudeau. And there's no, you know, again, but this is such small potatoes when you look at so many of the – like we're not even really fully through this list of shit about Trump right now. Right.

Because this thing is really kind of getting into real free fall. Like there's rumors now that H.R. McMaster could be leaving and John Bolton would replace him. What the fuck? No, really? Yes. No, that's terrifying. Like people who know say that's the scariest thing in the history of the

Trump administration, which is saying something. Yeah, exactly. Then there's like, they're saying John Kelly might lose his job, but then they came out and like, no, John Kelly's 100% safe. Uh-oh. Betsy DeVos isn't doing too hot. There's like rumors that she's just really which

makes can we do worse she but yeah no absolutely not uh jeff sessions might get fired uh and scott pruitt would replace him who would definitely be willing to do whatever the fuck trump wanted i mean i mean the end is nigh right yeah the thing that really worries me is if john bolton really became the nsa like if he becomes a national security advisor, like and that's the guy who's now the fucking security whisperer who with all his wacky ass thoughts. Right. That is fucking frightening, especially going into this. All the masturbators. Especially as you go into this, these crunch talks with North Korea, like it's very, very disconcerting.

Well, fortunately, trump is not i see what makes you come yeah this is showing us a picture of bolton just laughing at the top of oh it is frightening yeah it's like you can see the mushroom clouds in his eyes also oh the other thing too ben carson ryan zinke they're still in hot water because you know they're spending too much on their fucking offices right and there's like just so much scrutiny right now and then ryan zinke uh said some dumb shit to uh congresswoman hanabusa in a fucking in a hearing about like free funding uh like uh historical sites that talk about japanese internment and when she asked like can you guarantee that uh you know you you're going to – you will refund these sort of programs?

He starts off by going, konnichiwa, in the morning. And she was like, it's actually Ohio Gozamos, but whatever. And, like, that was his first line after she's, like, talking about, like, will we refund these programs that, you know, keep educating people about Japanese internment? He's like, yeah, konnichiwa. The first thing he said, Bruce Lee. Yeah, he might as well have this video clip though is hilarious there there's a there's a woman in the background who when he says konnichiwa her fucking jaw drops she's like

somebody's gonna do something right like her face is amazing god that can't really really god if jesus could come back right now, it'd be great. We should just talk about the Stormy Daniels thing. What happened? I think most people are up to date that the president had an affair with her. There's this back and forth going on between her legal counsel who are like, well, something definitely happened and you didn't have the president sign it because you can't even do hush payments correctly. Because it feels like you're bad at your job.

Right. And he's like, no, we didn't. We don't know who you are, lady. But then they're like, but we won. But we won. But we won you in court. Well, we don't know who you are, lady. Second of all, we beat you in court when we won you in court first of all we don't know who you are lady second of all

we beat you in court when we told you you couldn't say this stuff it's just three dudes doing whippets and they're like wait what shit

did you not give her that money but her lawyer has now come out and said that she was physically threatened to keep quiet so and also that there are six other women who have been silenced.

They threw a bunch of whippets at her. Yeah. Right. Get out of here. So that's happening. There is the collusion inquiry rollout from the House Republicans. You know, you might have remembered at the beginning of this week, they came out and were like, we didn't see anything.

Investigation over. Devin Nunes, Supreme Truth Master, has revealed no collusion, all caps. Right. And it just didn't go very well. Apparently, according to an article in Politico, House Republicans are privately venting that they've fumbled the release of their own Russia probe report. I was in D.C. in November, and if you just walk through the streets, when it's quiet, like on red lights and stuff, you can distinctly, faintly hear... The circus. Just the whole town is like what is happening yeah he had uh conaway who's the guy

who like came out uh and announced that there was no collusion uh and he also came out and said that well yeah russia intervened but they were not trying to help the trump campaign uh and people were like wait really that's that's like everybody agrees that they not trying to help the trump campaign uh and people were like wait really that's that's like everybody agrees that they were trying to help the trump campaign and the next day he had to like walk that back and be like well i mean it's a matter of whether he was trying to help trump or hurt clinton which is just like where do you clearly one person benefits from no matter which way you look at it that That's how I argue with my girlfriend now. If she brings up anything I did, I was like, well, Hillary did some shit.

So maybe cool it on me. Right. That's a good strategy. Thank you. It throws her off every time. She's like, I don't even know what you're talking about. I was like, exactly. Exactly.

Hillary. I need to start putting the seat down on the toilet. She's like, just give me your half of the rent. And I was like, that's what Hillary would say. And then last thing on gun control, you know, there was the thousands of students walking out of school. There were also, so there were dumb kids. The main Republican. Stupid kids.

Retort to – Tell me how to live my life. To calls for gun control has been to say, no, we're just going to buy even more guns, give them to the teachers. And there were two teachers who, like, accidentally shot people. Or one – in one case, a guy – Not a kid's name count. Or one in one case, a guy was trying to do a public safety class at Seaside High School when the gun accidentally went off. Every gun should come with its own pistol. Right.

And then there was another one where somebody inside his office at George Washington Middle School in Alexandria accidentally fired his gun. Nobody was hurt, fortunately. The teacher's guns and the principal's bombs. Exactly. And the guns. Or rocket launchers. Yes, and the janitor's mines. So, yeah, did we miss anything?

Burn the books for fuel. No, I mean, again, we've lost our minds. I don't know. I mean, we can even add to – I mean, it started with the Betsy DeVos 60 Minutes interview. That was Sunday night. So that's how the week kicked off. Can I –

Okay, can we – can I address that one? Yeah, please. Just real quick. Okay, just – and everyone has addressed it, but I have a different angle, I think, because my question, just as a human being, like, if you watch that as Betsy, you watch that. And my first thought, even if I'm a narcissist, my first thought is, who am I surrounding myself with that didn't get to me and be like, yo, she's going to ask you some stuff right and she's good at asking stuff right and you're gonna deflect and then she is gonna ask it again right and ask it so you're gonna have to have something and she's like i got it right i got it and nobody watches that show anymore yeah i feel like anytime someone

is that ill-prepared that person is surrounded by a bunch of people who are just like yeah fuck you we'll see how well you do you know people just like giving up or like passive aggressively or yeah no you got this one huh or it's her arrogance yeah where they're just like fine whatever yeah yeah exactly she's like oh i got it no i'm i'm fine no because even the most basic questioning will reveal how horribly flawed you are yeah they're just like hitting the table here's the thing you don't got it we'll see about that okay we'll see my brother started black water so i think i can drive the american education system into the ground son of a bitch she does have us there oh she's playing a different game yeah she's not trying to do a good job she's trying to burn the motherfucker yeah i think

we're just jack's theory is the correct word is just a bunch of people yeah whatever yeah i can't do it i can't do enough drugs anymore right because it's like yeah when you work for a boss and shit and like they have a dumb ass idea and sometimes you always push back and like you butt heads like with the decision sometimes you always push back and like you butt heads with a decision. Sometimes you just go, yeah, whatever. Do the fuck you want. Or in a relationship. Yeah, or in a relationship.

That kind of thing where you're like, okay, yeah, do it your way. I'm going to watch you fall. I will love this. Yeah, like most sitcoms. That's the B storyline of most sitcoms. Like, yeah, do it your way. Right, right. And then Danny Tanner's right in the end.

Always. Always. Always. But he's secretly thinking about how to fuck both those twins. Oh, Jesus Christ. This has been a true Hollywood story. You guys didn't – it's on his special, you guys. I didn't invent. No, you didn't.

I'm just reporting. Yeah. Thank you. You're a journalist. I just have a good memory. Son of a bitch. All right. We're taking a quick break. No, you didn't. I'm just reporting. Yeah. Thank you. You're a journalist. I just have a good memory. Son of a bitch. All right. We're taking a quick break.

We'll be right back. Ha, ha, ha. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close

to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.

KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the

spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled 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.

And we're back, and we just want to go out on a little Bloid Watch. It's something we do every Friday. And we just want to go out on little Bloid Watch. That's what we do every Friday. We look at the covers of the tabloids that people are passing by as they're checking out of supermarkets because people still need groceries. So these headlines, which, by the way, we can't emphasize this enough, owned by like one company for the most part other than OK, I think. Yeah, OK, yeah. OK is the only one.

And a few other. Really? People are – yeah, OK and People are owned independently by different companies. But the Globe, National Enquirer, Us Weekly. Star. Star. In Touch. In Touch.

All of those are owned by a company called American Media Inc. And it's a guy named David Peckar who is Trump's homie in New York, like loves Trump. I bet he does. Yeah. And it's crazy. Like they write in Trump's voice. Like the articles are all written like the same as Trump, like with exclamation points and like just really weird, like declarative things.

Or Trump speaks like they write. Right. Exactly. Really weird, like declarative things. Or Trump speaks like they write. Right, exactly. Yeah, he is a creature born out of 80s New York tabloid culture. And uppers. Right.

And lots of amphetamines. So, Miles, what you got over there? Well, let's see. I got a couple things. Let's start with, well, the National Examiner is always a dud because that one is always for old people. Because all they're talking about is like the secrets of MASH and Reba McIntyre's new life, how faith and family helped her heal after divorce, heartbreak, and then also some non-story. Does that actually talk to her? Probably not. No, no.

It's always like inside her. She's a good publicist. Yeah. That's a good. Yeah, keeping you in like absolute garbage magazines. let's see in touch nice light they're just saying uh you know keith urban nicole divorce lies fights and therapy hell ice queen nicole treated him like a child who'll get the kids no one gives a fuck uh star just more you know the jennifer aniston justin thoreau will they won't they then Theroux, will they, won't they?

Then will Brad and her, will they, won't they? But the first thing they have is Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson's daughter, quits Hollywood and moves into TP. Hee hee. I made up the hee hee part, but no. It might as well be. But what's funny is this story is also the National Enquir national choir and they both have the exact same quotes uh in both stories which isn't you know obviously not a surprise since they're both the same company but they're just saying like she's escaping to like the hills of california i'd imagine it's probably someone like topanga canyon uh and she's like

hanging out with marlon brando's granddaughter prudence why wouldn't you yeah and they're just like smoking weed and a tp yeah she's just they're saying like smoking weed in a teepee. Yeah. They're saying like, oh, the insiders, like she loves the positivity from their bond, the bond of people. Have you guys heard that? Paris Jackson like killing it. Have you guys heard that story about how Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor all escaped from New York on the day after 9-11 together, like drove across country in a car? Yeah. Could you imagine driving like you're like on the highway? You look over and it's a car with Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando. Who was driving?

I don't know. Is that real? Yeah, that really happened. I think Zadie Smith wrote a short story like sort of historical fiction speculating what that must have been like. But it's actually based on an actual anecdote about what happened the morning of 9-11. They were like, they're coming for us. And everybody just bounced. All right, Marlon, we believe you.

So all the flights get canceled. Right. The two towers come down. You're driving down I-40 to go see your grandma. And you look over and see Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando. Yeah, man, if I wake up, that's going to make more sense than I'm writing right now. This is the weirdest dream I've ever had. I got the globe over here.

Oh, yeah, what you got in there? They hit me in my weak spot because they have – More Kennedy stuff? Yeah, RFK, which I've always thought was even more suspicious than JFK because obviously it was the second one. There's 13 bullets instead of eight. Yeah, the whole thing's fucked up. Yeah, it's just really weird.

And the guy who killed him was just some random 20-something-year-old who was like, I don't remember killing him. Like, I just came to with a gun. And to this day is like, no idea, Joe. Yeah, no clue why that happened. I know y'all keep saying that. I don't know whose gun this is. I'm sorry, but I don't remember, and I'm sorry I did it. Right.

So they have a couple interesting things that I've always found suspicious, like the fact that three top CIA agents were at the hotel on the day that he was shot. And friends of, okay, my conspiracy theory david was there too yeah no that's my conspiracy theory music that's how uh super producer nick stump uh undermines the seriousness of what i'm talking about the seriousness of this tabloid journalism makes it more legit and he he's also uh one of the cia agents has been well the lady running from the thing in the polka dot dress. Right. So that's the that's the thing that they are really focusing on here. And so apparently Sirhan Sirhan, the guy who killed him, said that he was hypnotized by Harvard professor Daniel Brown, which just this was the thing that America believed for a couple of decades that you could hypnotize people and gain access to parts of their brain that like they couldn't in their waking time. And like that, everything that came out of that was false.

This is where we got like all the satanic panic and shit like that. But he recalled under hypnosis having coffee with a woman in a polka dot dress. under hypnosis, having coffee with a woman in a polka dot dress. And then there were people who claim later that a woman left the hotel shouting, we shot him, we shot Kennedy. And this theory suggests that she was like a CIA operative. They say she secretly set him up with MK Ultra, which MK Ultra was just like a giant, MKUltra, which MKUltra was just like a giant decade-spanning

conspiracy by the CIA where they looked into all these different things. It's not like a magical elixir that you put in someone's drug and drink. She put it on her tongue. Right. Exactly.

Put it on the tip of his dick and he killed RFK. Also, what a pro. What a good CIA agent. Exactly. Put it on the tip of his dick and he killed RFK. Right. Also, what a pro. What a good CIA agent. She runs away from a top secret assassination yelling, we shot him. We did it. I did it.

I did it. Nailed him. Secrets. Secrets. Secrets. But yeah, anyways, so the woman with theka dot dress i've always uh thought was kind of bullshit but the cia agents being there and just a lot of the uh circumstances were very strange i could see like one cia agent like fucking some dumb girl the night before and being like i accidentally told this girl she wants to come along and then she she thinks she's part of it right and i told

her she gets to shoot him yeah yeah she wants to shoot him she is hot you guys and then after it happened she runs off like we did it oh god damn it my bad i really shouldn't have done that hi hi the the one thing that these tabloids are pretty good at is telling us ahead of time if a celebrity is in trouble uh health-wise and uh they have a story in the globe crippled collins crawling to the final curtain about phil collins and it's really it's really just mean the way they write it it's all just a pack of lies but apparently he has been struggling with alcoholism and uh things just haven't been going well for him lately how old is he they keep calling him the soused up singer uh he is 67 that's not struggling with alcoholism at 67 you

made it you're just you're just fucking doing it. Right. And, yeah, they have a doctor saying if he continues as he is, he'll be dead soon, says Dr. Gabe Merkin, who has not treated the easy lover singer. It sounds like a made-up name, Gabe Merkin. With Phil Collins follows up, that's the plan. Right. Exactly. Gabe Merkin. Yeah, and the other thing in the Inquirer is basically they're saying how there's a coup at Buckingham Palace where Kate and William will be crowned king and queen. And they're just going to leapfrog Prince Charles because some of the people – there's a coup with some of the Commonwealth nations to basically somehow get Queen Elizabeth to abdicate and then they will just – I don't know.

I mean I don't necessarily know how the succession works if it's that easy that you can just conspire against them. I want to say on record if that's going to happen, I will volunteer and I will take my family to England and support that coup because I just want to – Why? I don't know. I just found it interesting. I want to skip them. I have to do it. I'm just trying to be a part of something. Who would fight for Charles? Can you imagine who would be like,

nah, I'm with Charles. That guy seems cool. It's odd because the only reason they're saying... Nah, don't do that. But the logic they use to try and say why this is logical is just because he has too many scandals.

So therefore, William and Kate are better because of all the weird scandals. That's not how coups work. Right. And also, again, whatever. It's a fucking national choir and it's bullshit. And then also it says Obama is a war criminal. Newsflash. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Say that on the globe too. Because he was president of the United States. Yeah, every president of the United States is a war criminal. Yeah, without a doubt. But the Globe says it is the most devastating scandal of all time. And it's that military personnel were terrible to the dead bodies of people they killed in the war in Afghanistan. And they're saying that that's Obama's fault. Well, because Obama told them to do it.

Right, probably. That's how that works. And then another person told them to do it. Gosh. And then another person told them to do it. Right, probably. That's how that works. And then another person told them to do it. Gosh. And then another person told them to do it. And they told two friends. And they told two friends. Well, but that's how the military works.

Right, right. The main purpose of the globe is just finding sinister photographs of Obama and putting them on the front page. A lot of them are when he's young, too. Yeah, yeah. Like, he's got, like, no gray hair. Yeah. Billy Wayne, this has been fun, as always.

Well, you know, we had a kind of heavy show.

I'm just feeling really good about the state of our government here in the United States. So I think we need to lighten it up with something people can laugh about this weekend. Super producer Anna brought to our attention a great parody song of, you know, one of Los Angeles' greatest bands, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Anna, tell the people what this song is. It's by the Peppermint, which consists of John Daly, the comedian. I think Zach Alfinack has had a bit of starting it back in the day. And it's called Abracadabla-fornia, something like that. It manages to be a cover of every single Red Hot Chili Peppers song.

It just sums them up. So just take this soothing musical opium and enjoy your weekend. And that's going to do it for this week. We will be back on Monday because, yeah. Earth will be around. Yeah. Fingers crossed. Talk to you guys then.
