I mean, recently, I remember just there being ashtrays on the door in the bathroom that had no smoking signs on it. And it was like, why the fuck? Well, you got to put it out before you. Right. We got to put your cigarette somewhere. Right. We're not going to expect you not to start smoking. But as you ash, you're going to notice that it's a no smoking thing.

Be reminded. And then, yeah. Yeah. They really give up on that shit. that I feel like that was a big change for people like that we're still dealing with the ramifications of that with all the people who get angry on airplanes

is oh because they need a smoke it's a long time when I was addicted to nicotine planes were a long time to go without smoking and like you I get angry like I would get angry when I was without nicotine for a long period like that was my response was to get like real crabby And that's what you would say to the flight attendants, right?

I get angry. You don't want to see me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. And they're like, sir, we are not worried. Yeah, sir. You seem to be on the verge of tears right now. Sir, sit your bitch ass down. Okay, okay, okay.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 406, episode four of Darnaley's Aidcase! This is a production of IHeartRadio. It's a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. And it is Thursday, September 18th, 2025. Yep, it's National Paw-Paw Day. Force birthday, the plant thing. Those, like, green things that you see growing, you know what I mean? Mm-hmm.

You seen a paw-paw? P-A-W? It looks like, every time I see it, I'm like, what is that? And they're like, that's a pa-paw. And I'm like, I don't know. I'm not going to eat it. I guess I'm just not curious. Yeah, yeah.

It's also Air Force birthday. National HIV-A is an aging awareness day and also National Cheeseburger Day. Cheeseburger. I want a burger. No. They're like these little fruit things that they look like. be a fruit. And then they're, okay.

They do look like a fruit. Yeah. Inedible fruits. Producer Justin said, they're really good and grow in the south. Boom. Like, they're edible?

Yeah. They're not. Oh, okay. Okay. It's called the provides a taste of the great forgotten American fruit. Despite the tropical taste, many pop-paws grow natively in the United States.

We'll ever 60 varieties of popa to choose from. This fucking rules. What is happening? It looks like a little. Why is there a fruit that I've never heard of? This is by far the most we've gotten in. to the national days when I've found out of the day. They call it the Kentucky Banana and Hillbilly Mango.

First of all, those fruits are very different. Are they viscous? Like, is the fruit viscous? You know what I mean? You know how banana has that, like, kind of slimy, kind of it, it holds potassium vibe? Yeah, it kind of holds the smoothie together. Justin, what is it like? With paw, Paul?

Yeah, it tastes really fruity, a slightly less flavorful than a mango, I would say. I don't have a whole bunch of experience with it. I had it as a jam one time. Okay. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty good, yeah. Often described as a mix of banana, mango, and melon. Okay. God damn.

It's just like a tropical fruit starburst. Yeah. That is what I'm getting. When someone describes something as fruity, I'm picturing either tropical fruit starburst or fruit striped gum. Oh, whenever someone says, yeah, it tastes fruity, I go, which color skittal does it taste like? Yeah, that's my only reference, yeah, yeah, yeah. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. starring Miles of Gray as James Bong, double-blow 7, and Jack O'Brien as pissy galore. Okay. All right, I see what you did. Injecto Pussy.

A hilarious and brilliant producer And TV writer You know him from The Yo Is This Racist Podcast it's Andrew T In old school rap cadence That was a direction Miles G and Andrew T

in the place to be on the M-I-C with Jackie Pee-P That's you of Jackie Oh fuck With some T-DZ And I'm going to add a line to this Pump full of that 5G Oh

I got my COVID booster yesterday And I feel like shit I just got my flu shot yesterday A flu shot not nearly as bad Yeah, but I'm also admitting 5G with it right now. He's got seven cell phones top to his head like a weird crowned one.

5G, if you're going to invent science fiction shit as part of a conspiracy, why then also make it an okay cell phone standard? You're already talking about magic. You're talking about nanobots that could fit in a vaccine. Brian, the editor, one of his favorite causes

is to talk shit about 5G. He's like, it's just a fuck it. It's bullshit. It ain't. doing what they fucking fuck 5G it was like they were pitching it they were like you need to expand

and like do you know add do all these equipment upgrades and then it didn't end up being what they had promised but I think because everybody saw it being advertised everywhere at a time when our brains were like

yeah it's a high standard yeah and it's like a pentium it's like AI right now It's the same thing. It's like you're being bombarded with messaging. They're like, this is good. This is the most advanced thing. A lot of people have a ton of money invested in it and they need adoption to happen

for their profits to really. All I'm saying is if you're a vaccine conspiracist of the nanobots level, you're talking about like fucking T-1,000. So like, what the fuck? Why would T-1-000, imagine if T-1-000 operated on 5G? You'd be like, this movie sucks. It wouldn't work in Echo Park. Yeah, it's great.

I'm just saying you can invent anything. You're being a fantasist already. Why would you settle on 5G? It's pathetic. Yeah, because, look, because no one's actually thinking. They just need a thing to tell themselves

to explain their own lack of power. Anyway, I'm souped up on 5G. I really genuinely do feel really, really shitty, though, I have to say. All right, we'll keep it short then. No, no, no. Don't worry. No, no, you said it.

All of my stuff involves involves the COVID shot. All right, good. Overrated the COVID shot. Underrated COVID shot. Literally, I wrote down how bad my headache is right now. Oh, God. All right.

Well, we're going to get to know you and your headache a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of the things we're talking about later on in the episode. We're going to talk about Donald Trump's big trip to the UK governor and how that's going for him. A little bit of history of a certain. possession of his. Yeah. Princess Die. He was always pining after Princess Die.

We'll talk about Judge Janine Piro and how she is bad at her job, thankfully. Yeah. And we might even talk about Publishers Clearinghouse, the famous sweepstakes company that is, first of all, Ed McMahon, we're going to talk about big, big Mandela effect. Ed McMahon never delivered a check for them. What? Yeah. We'll get into that. We'll get into that.

Yeah. He delivered a check for other people, but not on TV. I see. Not on TV, though. Which I can very clearly picture. He delivered a check to bin Laden from the Department of Defense in the 80s to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Could you imagine that photo? It's not weirder than most shit that's happened.

It's such a powerful image. The just guy shows up to here. how giant check balloons like it was it is a like so iconic and yet underutilized as we'll talk about like they just it became a thing that like people referenced in sitcoms and so that's that's where your image of it comes from there's no actual footage of him doing that like on the news like he didn't do that that that's from there is a photo though with uh Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump holding a giant check where they talk about the value, the fully

depreciated value of a woman being paid for for around $22,000. That's Mandela Effect also. Okay. That's not real. That's AI. That's actually AI. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Sorry. All of that plenty more. But first, Andrew, we do like to ask our guest. What is something from your search history

that's revealing about who you are? All right. This is revealing about who I am in multiple ways, which is that I remembered, I had a memory of tweeting something about how the xenomorph is really just a huge wasp that can't stop drooling. But then...

Yeah, like, it drools a lot. A lot. In a way that, like, any other thing that drools that much, you'd be like, that thing is stupid. It's sick. All right, so here's the train of thought that I think actually tells everyone

literally everything you might conceivably want to know about me, which is, I have a memory of this, because I basically was like someone else made a sort of similar joke on some social media and I was like, I already did that. And then I looked for it and I couldn't find it.

So that was my search history is Andrew T. Xenomorph wasp. And I couldn't find it. I would just be a good AKA for you. Did I just think this? Yeah, yeah. And so I don't know. I genuinely don't know.

It seems like it's not there, but I also deleted most of my tweets at some points. Maybe it was in the deleted batch of tweets. You're like, ooh, this one's going to get me in trouble. With the Geiger estate. All of those movies have some very serious character saying a nearly completely perfect organism. Right. I have to tell you, it's only an okay organism.

Yeah. As far as an organism sucks. You can get rid of that second mouth. Yeah. Second mouth. The drool. Yeah. It's fucking, it can't reproduce.

and less a fucking, like, certain number of humanoids look at its eggs. Yeah, like stare at its eggs with their mouth open. Like, what kind of plan is that? What kind of plan is that for propagating your sushi? Like, it doesn't, if it wanted to bring

people in, if that was its strategy, right? Like, think about, like, a flower that wants to reproduce. So it's brightly colored. It's like, it looks fucking so hot. to bumblebees, like, bumblebees like, oh, yeah, I want to fuck that thing or, like, you know, they, or it looks delicious to other thing. Well, there, there is one that looks like, uh, something that I forget which insect it is, but the insect tries to fuck it. Yeah. All right, well, that's fine. But anyways, like, this one is on a scary ass planet that, you know, like, just not, does not look cool. Eerie. It's mist and eerie blue lights. And it looks like a fucking, like, de-merifying.

Yeah, you see that, you're like, hell no. Yeah. Why would you look at that? Yeah. Like, they really need some, they need to up their game in terms of, yeah. It's just that so many things have to go perfectly for one baby to be born. Yeah. And that, I think, is not such a good plan.

It's not perfect. Evolutionarily speaking. Yeah. And also when it runs, it's like not that. Yeah. Like, when it, so when it pops out of that motherfucker's stomach. Yeah. Spoiler alert.

People have managed to miss that. I saw Senator Cassidy's testimony. And it runs out. It doesn't run that. Like, it's like just like, it just like kind of scamperes out. Like in a way that's, you know. It kind of, well, some of these are answered in Alien Earth,

Jack, then the hit series on FX. Oh, is it? Okay. They show more of the Xenomorph in between, which is why this came up for me. Someone was talking about Alien Earth. And I was like, hold up. I already made this. sick-ass joke and I'm suing burned I maybe didn't make this the sick-ass joke is what I'm

yeah it's a perfect perfectly scary thing unfortunately that doesn't make it perfect for reproduction and survival yeah they're like it's gorgeous nature's the pinnacle of nature's achievement it's like what the fuck are you talking about yeah because there is a thing also like the the conceit is that everybody wants to use it as a weapon and like it's just, yeah, that would be the worst weapon possible. It's such an insane weapon. It's going to turn on you so fast.

You haven't heard of just a better gun if you really want to have a really. You guys have some pretty spooky guns in here, man. This thing's got two mouths. Yeah. It's not even the best gun in the like spaceship area. What did it even look like? Would it be

like the character, you know, in Goonies data has the vest where like, a punching, like a boxing glove pops out of? Do you think would that be, like, just have a xenomorph that like pops out of a container? Like, how are you going to weaponize that? You open your vest and then a xenomorph pops out of your chest and like, yeah. Every time they've tried to depict that on screen as the xenomorph being a quote unquote perfect weapon,

all it does is kill some, quite a lot of the people in the area. Yeah. It doesn't do anything that a fucking, like, cruise missile couldn't do a billion times more efficiently. If you have the technology for interplanetary travel, I'd imagine your weapons might be better than just unleashing a droly monster. I'm so sorry, but, like, yeah, but just, like, putting a big bug in the house cannot be the best way to do this. Yeah, it's like the equivalent of, like, putting some bees under someone's door and then, like, walking away, giggling to yourself. And then they're like, I was on vacation. I came home.

There's like three dead bees in my living room. Or like the bees killed a bunch of stuff. Right. Why would you do that, man? That's such an insane way to kill people. And if everybody stays inside this house, who we want to stay inside this house, we're in, we're in business. There's just too many variables. Too many variables.

I don't like it. I don't like it. It's a dumb idea. On the house. Yeah. Bad idea. Yeah. Do you ever want to use that spaceship for your own?

No. Oh, you just want to kill. some of the people in it real scarily, okay. They're still at the ancient, like, using an asp as a weapon. Yeah. Version of, like, weapons where they unleash the asp on Cleopatra. Oh, it's so inefficient. Your city with scorpions.

Yeah, yeah. Like, what do you? I just, I, listen, I get that it's a monster. I just think the underlying research imperative seems shaky at best. Yeah. Monster can't even close. its fucking mouth. Yeah.

What is something you think it is underrated? Stop me. Actually, don't stop me if I've said this one already because it's still going. That would be rude. Eating a whole pineapple by yourself. Mm-hmm.

Including skin. I've been on that P-Train lately and not Jack's P-Train. No, the pineapple. But, yeah, I've been on it all night, man. I'll be on it. All day straight up.

I'm just like, that's my new fruit of choice at the grocery store is a whole pineapple. Are you experimenting with ways to cut it and shit? No, I'm getting more relaxed about, at first I was like really fastidious about like really getting every like coring, not coring, but like taking a pairing knife and getting out every one of those eyes and all that business. Now it's just like as long as the skits gone, it's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just saw some clip of a guy like banging it on the floor and then he was just like ripping off the individual eyes, like the little nodes. And I was like, huh. I didn't see that one, but I think it was a similar video.

I think I think social media and Southeast and street vendors really, really combined to present me with the idea that like cutting off a pineapple is really fast and easy, which it's not for me, but it's not terrible. I agree with you. I love pineapple. I love pineapple juice. I think it really like one of the best juices. I've been drinking pineapple juice off the grooves of my cutting board. Damn. You just get in there?

Yeah. Oh, groovy. Is this your way of letting our letting Zite gang know that you're a swinger, though? I'm just curious. Oh. My house does have the swinger. Wait, what is it? What are you supposed to do with a pineapple of your swinger?

I think you put a, you have like a pineapple something on. your door. If it's a pineapple, then, yeah. I, upside down pineapple. Okay, no, I have a right side of pineapple.

Yeah. But it's, it's on, at times, this motherfucker right here, as many as two pineapples on my, on my table.

I put them, I put them in the fruit like bowl. Okay, don't make yourself a target, man. You might get robbed. If people know you're living like that. Two pineapple tea right here.

Okay. You know? T.P. I mean, getting them, I've been getting them from the Vietnamese dude, in Chinatown from my dung sandwiches where I also accidentally but then I was too embarrassed to put it down got the single most expensive fruit I've ever gotten which was like a gigantic

cheramoya and it was very good but it was not like $28. Oh my god that shit was crazy. Jesus maybe 24 either way I was like I'll take this and then he was like plus your sandwich that's like 2950 and I was like Jesus, God. I really got my... Charamoya, or otherwise known as custard apple. Yeah. That's a similar to a pop-paw. I definitely have had a charamoia before, but, like, not at the top of my mind.

Charamoya is really good. Learn about all sorts of creamy fruits on today's episode. Great underrated. What is something, Andrew, you think, is overrated? Overrated is... Wait, is that how bad? my headache is right now or not how bad my headache is. This is still just going back to the, to the COVID shot. I really, it's really strong. Have you done like the headache? Can you,

have you taken like Advil or some shit to try and do? No, I never do. Okay, that was overrated. Not taking fucking the correct for non-prescription drugs. I never take painkillers. I don't either because I was raised in a don't, not taking painkillers house. Like we just didn't have it in the house. So, do you think that made you stronger, Miles? I think it made me weaker and, it made me complain more. Yeah.

What I'm doing now? I'm complaining like a motherfucker. But now, I mean, shit, like, when I have like a bit of a headache, probably you fucking even fucking eat in handfuls of that shit. But that's not that freak. Producer Catherine is saying Accedron is the move here. I do love an excedrine. It is, what's the difference?

It's half aspirin and half caffeine pill. and half amphetamine. Oh, so you're candy flipping. Yeah, it's good. But it is, it does, I feel like it works off of the fact that a lot of the time people have headaches and they don't know why, and it's because they, like, haven't had enough caffeine. Yeah, I did actually have coffee this morning to try to get rid of the headache, and that's when I realized it was a Pfizer headache.

Yeah. Jabbed headache. Yeah. I mean, I could tell that you're mitochondrial-y, um, compromised when you came on. I could just look at you and knew that you. This guy's immunized. Yeah, this guy.

I really, it's for a minute since I've had a COVID vaccine. It had been according to the medical records a year. And I was pretty good about getting them every whatever, six months, three months. Well, I mean, now we're in that era where they're like, COVID, I don't know, vaccines, who knows? Well, part of it was the new, despite the best efforts of our secretary of fucking health in human services, the new formulation did come out. That's good. And also, a bunch of my friends got COVID a couple weeks ago. So I was like, shit. Oh, yeah. I was, man, I know a ton of people

got COVID at this last month. It felt like. Yeah. Yeah. It's going around. Uh, et cetera, half Tylenol, half aspirin, full ass caffeine. About 100, yeah. 100 milligrams of caffeine, I think, could be wrong. That's a cup of coffee. Yeah, it's about a cup of coffee. That's not too Thank you, Super Producer, Catherine. Let's take a quick break, and then we'll take a trip to the island of the UK governor for Trump's big, wonderful adventure there. We'll be right back. I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos.

Together we're launching The Moment, a new podcast about what it means to live through a time, as uncertain as this one. sit down with politicians. I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations, but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. Artists and activists, I mean, do you ever feel demoralized?

and that's what I believe in. To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective.

My name is Ed. Everyone say hello, Ed. Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer. And my mom is a cousin, so, like, it's not, like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.

I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now.

Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is a tape recorder statement. The person being interviewed is Krista Gail Pike. This is in regards to the death of Colleen Slimmer. She just started going off on me, and I hit her. I just hit her and hit her and hit her and hit her. On a cold January day in 1995, 18-year-old Krista Pike killed 19-year-old Colleen Slimmer

in the woods of Knoxville, Tennessee. Since her conviction, Krista has been sitting on death row. The state has asked for an execution date for Krista. We let people languish in prison for decades, raising questions about who we consider fundamentally unrestorable. How does someone prove that they deserve to live? We are starting the recording now. Please state your first and last name. Krista Pike.

Listen to Unrestorable Season 2, Proof of Life, on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back we're back and we're back and we're back governor don't trump's in the uk for a two-day state visit he was taking to windsor castle by carriage i believe it's pronounced garage over there oh no that's incorrect uh and welcomed by king charles with the ceremony featuring the royal guards they they're the ones that wear the big fuzzy hats. Oh, he must have loved that. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Which is kind of weird for someone to greet the guy who once bragged that he could have had sex with their dead ex-wife if she took an HIV test, which is what Donald Trump used to say about Princess Die. He said that on Stern. Yeah. That's what did he say at Howard Stern said, quote, why do people think it's egotistical of you to say you could have gotten with Lady Die? You could have gotten her, right?

You could have nailed her? I think I could have. Yikes. Then goes on there, referring back to an earlier discussion the two men had about HIV testing, Stern then acted out of a scene where Trump demands Princess Diana get tested before having sex. Hey, lady die, would you go to the doctor? Stern joked. Go back over to my Lexus because I have a new doctor.

What is? I don't know, too. We want to give you a little checkup. Why does he with Lexus? He's just trying to. Rag that he has a Lexington? I think surely at the time that was the nice car. Right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, it's the convertible. It's the first one they did. People used to think Lexus did a convertible. No, only Infinity before this. Trump and Epstein even competed to sleep with Princess Diana to further their own celebrity status, which makes it sound like they were close and like actively working on it. No.

Instead, no. It seems like he basically stalked. her while she was alive? Yeah, this is, so when I saw that, like, I was looking for the Howard Stern audio this morning, I couldn't find it, but I then stumbled upon this clip from Inside Edition from like 10, 11 years ago, uh, talking about how Donald Trump, quote, stalked Princess Diana. He saw her as the quote, ultimate trophy wife is what he would say. And this is a clip of one of Diana's friends talking about how this dude was just relentless.

She claims that Trump bombarded Diana with flowers after her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996. She also wrote an article for the London Sunday Times. As the roses and orchids piled up at her apartment, she became increasingly concerned about what she should do. It had begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her. She even quoted Diana as saying, he gives me the creeps. Selena Scott has- Wow. Yeah.

so fucking weird dude could have nailed her tell you what to even hear the thing about how him and Epstein were competing yeah I think is so indicative of what their relationship was like when it relates to like the pursuit or like you know consensually or unconsensually of like women

yeah but it's just like it was completely gamified weird fucking power shit yeah because you're like dude if you get Diana man like you're gonna be like in the highest circle of social fucking settings, man. Like, this, I'm gonna get her. I'm gonna get her.

I'm gonna get her. It's also weird, though, like, because you see it in his other taste, too, how, like, Donald Trump's conception of, like, the social hierarchy is,

like, it's literally that of a peasants. Right. Between the gold and the fucking obsession with people, it's so weird. And I'm like a trophy. So weird.

That I would put in a trophy case. Right? I would install in one of my apartments. Like, in one of his books, they also in that same, news clip

if you want to even call that news they were talking about like one of his books where his biggest regret with women was that he never dated Diana. Yeah. Like this is like I don't even know

do you think he asked Charles about it when he was there? Oh for sure. Oh, I mean that. Oh yeah. Or at least like complimented how hot she was or something like that.

Yeah. Why'd you ever fuck that one up, huh? Oh man. You really thought that one. That was a big L. I wouldn't have let that slip Melania calm down I wouldn't have let that slip

that would have been me all day baby anyway what's with the hats fucking you look stupid stupid as stupid as hell yeah but either way I mean like they're not pleased to have this man in their country

that seems I think Channel 4 did a thing where they aired like the longest uninterrupted just highlight reel of all the mendacious bullshit that Trump has said over the years just as a way to be like, just so you know who's coming by this, run the tape. Why do we have state visits when we have Trump? Like, what is the point?

I mean, I think it's like diplomacy and like, inertially, like, because of inertia, it's diplomacy. It's diplomacy. With him that are doing stuff or this is the diplomacy? I think he likes the pomp and circumstance probably. No, I don't know what he does it. He just like gets to go to a place and like have people. kiss his ass. And then from America's perspective, well, first

of all, it doesn't matter because he just gets to do whatever the fuck he wants. Yeah. But then also, it probably, yeah, like the diplomats come with him and then are like, you don't want him to be angry because he's like kind of stupid. Right, right, right. Wage war on your

country if you don't do what's nice for him. So? Yeah. So what do you want us to do? I guess it is just like a series of bribe collectors, right? Yeah. And it's also just like gestures of like, like, you're like, oh, we welcome you with this like this huge, like all this pump and shit when you visit.

And like that's also meant to be like a bit of like a hat tip to the visiting dignitary. So for that to happen twice is kind of a big deal because it's like, you know, that's, you reserve that kind of shit like when you need that diplomatically. So I don't know. Clearly they're like, you're fucking the global economy up, man. Can we have you over for another party and be like. relax with this shit but the protesters are out yeah yeah so once the president arrived photos of trump and epstein were projected onto windsor castle by protesters like giant like big big really good

project it's a good ad for that projector for that projector company projectors high definition timu projectors yeah it's fucking great there's also a report uh a massive photo of u s president Donald Trump and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, was placed on the lawn outside Windsor Castle where Trump is scheduled to stay Tuesday night. Placed is one way of putting it. It's the size of a football field.

Like, I don't know. It's wild. Also, like, it's so funny because of the angle that this photo was taken and the lens. Like, there's, like, lens distortion happening, too. So they look like weird, like, jokey Snapchat filter versions of Trump and Epstein. It's like, this is the big chin filter.

Yeah. Yeah, they looked like they were animated by the Beavis and Butthead people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. They even snuck some Trump Epstein merchandise into the Windsor Castle gift shop. There's, yeah, quite a lot of construction here. Just a lot of arts and crafts. You know what, DIY as, as, hey, whoever printed out that big ass fucking picture of Trump and Epstein, I mean, credit to you because, first of all, how do you explain that when you have that made?

the second, we're going to keep that shit? Yeah, it doesn't even look like it has a seam. No, I'm actually kind of impressed. It looks like a giant cake. It looks like, remember in the studio before those people took it down when they had the giant printout of the Jersey Shore note? Yes. On our other production team came in and said,

this isn't a professional environment. Right. Also, the good news is that the people who, work at Windsor Castle and work for the royal family do in addition to serving it they do like to spill a little bit of tea exactly loose lips

because you're already like the daily mail already has all these weird shit they're like they're sleeping in separate chambers like well we knew that but the other thing that a lot of people have pointed at is that already apparently like they have Trump and Melania are sleeping in the same bed but I think we knew that I mean that's what

crazy give us something better loose lips in Windsor Castle. They're like, try this one on for size. Imagine what he sounds like when he sleeps. Holy shit. It sounds like a xenomorph being born or something shit. But like, they're talking about like, dry at the same time. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Windsor Castle, they already have like truly like the finest Egyptian cotton sheets at like truly fit for a king. But somehow when the sort of his advance team came to check out the palace or the room he was going to be in, they're like, no, we're bringing. our own sheets. No. And I don't know. Maybe because they weren't rubber.

Yeah, yeah. Probably what it is or something or like other. In the Daily Mail, they were like, they were speculating. It's like that maybe people didn't want that he was embarrassed by whatever he, however he keeps his orange hue from staining the royal families. Oh, interesting. Oh, sure. They're like, he's dirty.

Like, if you saw what the sheets look like after, you're like, how can this much dead skin be generated from one body? It's just an outline, just an orange outline Like a greasy, dark orange state You don't think he takes his makeup off at night Before he goes to bed No, because of like, that's what women do Yeah, yeah

I leave it on, it stays on better Oh, okay I think he just kind of falls asleep Yeah, yeah, right You imagine, it's so hard to imagine Trump brushing his teeth Oh my God, yeah I mean, you even saying that

You created an image I've never even thought to even have in my brain, which is a thing. It's so weird to think about. I genuinely, I mean, he looks like he's a little, like, a little smelly. Well, everyone says he, everyone says he has an odor. That's pretty widely reported. He looks smelly. But like, can you imagine brushing his teeth? Impossible.

No, no. I brush it with burger. Yeah, can't do it. Won't do it. Every time you take a bite of a burger, see, all this stuff on your teeth gets caught in the burger bite as you bite it. and then they're clean Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is so, I just, I don't know, I mean,

this is a little bit underlining how insane it is that there's a royal family that has these resources and also that there's a president that has these resources. Yeah, I would take royal family at this point. I've said before, like, the Trump family.

I've said before, like, I think that the collapsing of person with, like, power to rule the country and, like, all the pomp and circumstance that royal families have, like, the fact that that is collapsed in the figure of the U.S. president is, like, very dangerous. Like, the U.K. just, like, knows that, like, people need that outlet of, like, sort of glorifying a national figure. And they were smart to, like, split it off into somebody who, like, doesn't mean shit. Like, nobody actually has to listen to anymore. Right. But in America, it's just like, no, we worship the guy who can end the world.

That's actually what we think is good. And his house is made of gold. I mean, I guess it's like, I mean, it should be maybe more like the mayor of L.A., though, where it's like there is an executive branch. It's just a way less powerful. Sure. Yeah, yeah. Totally.

I mean, I think that's how the founders wrote that in the Constitution. You just got off this king's shit. But you know what? That's king shit. Yeah, king shit is king shit Mm-hmm King shit Thank you

King shit Let's talk about Janine Piro Just feel Something to make us feel Just a little bit better Is that she sucks shit At her job

Yeah I mean like so before Janine Piro was the U.S. attorney for D.C. She was mostly known for being like one of the sloppy or Fox News personalities Yeah

And her takes on Fox Or like never of a person Who thought about anything seriously because she's just like, oh, here's a problem with the laugh. And you're like, what the fuck? She's screaming for some reason. Because I think her cognitive skills probably peak 25 years ago when she like was the sort of face of one of the Robert Durst burp murder trials.

But anyway, Trump made her. That's actually like where I first found out about her. I feel like, yeah. I was like, this lady's got something on the ball. And then since then she's, she feels like Giulianiish where like it's like, are they drunk or is something like cognitively going on? Hey, why not both? Yeah.

Porque no los dos. Why not. I remember watching the jinks and then being like, Janine Piro? Is from this? Yeah. No way. She's just saying like racist, doing racist make-em-ups on Fox or the five or some shit. I know.

But anyway, she's now the legal attack dog in D.C. and has had her hands full because she's just trying to prosecute pretty much anything that resembles dissent or resistance and then exaggerating like what had happened but she has been just a series of legal ls and i just want to go over these as a slight reminder slash light cope that evidence is still a thing that matters for now so first of all like the sandwich throwing guy in dc the guy who fucking smet like threw that sandwich at the federal uh officer she she was like this guy needs to get indicted grand jury threw it out they're like nope then she tried to get a woman who called trump a Nazi indicted. That failed. Two people made, quote, threats to Trump. Like, one guy was drunk and

under arrest. And, like, he was like, I was drunk. I don't even know what the fuck I was talking about. Grand jury also refused to indict. Another person had, quote, assaulted federal agents when they were, they were merely just filming these goons doing goon shit. Grand jury threw it out because they're like, and what point did this person even assault them? They're like, no. And this even happened in L.A. too, where the courts in L.A. were like, these charges are, like, these charges are so flimsy. Like, and you have no evidence to back, like, these assertions you're making. And that's rare, right?

Like, grand jury's usually like, yeah, yeah, yeah, regular jury. I mean, well, I think this is where it's at now because she just got, like, there were the, one of the judges in D.C. was like, what the, like, basically it was called the Department of Justice out and was like, what is this? Like, you guys aren't even, like, doing any vetting before you decide to charge someone, because it's just a waste of fucking time. So right now of, like, around the 50 people that have been. arrested in DC, 11 have had their charges just immediately tossed. And I think that goes to show

what the motivations are of like the regime here. It's just to merely create the headlines that they arrested 50 people to be like, oh my God, they arrested 50 people without actually doing like the work if like these cases actually held any like water. I mean, is 11 tossed that's 22 percent? Is that I guess that's high? A lot of observers like that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, an unusually high rate, especially for like a U.S. attorney. For grand jury. Yeah, like going for a grand jury. So, I mean, again, and I think while there are people who probably did some other shit, like illegally or whatever, like the ones where they truly are like,

the guy spit at an officer's feet, that's attempted assault, like that kind of shit. They're like, no, what are you talking about? It's just delightful how weak these federal agents are, you know? Yeah. They're so scared. I mean, that's why we need to up the budget so they have sandwich-proof vests. Kevlar and Ziploc yeah

I do worry that this is like the early days of this administration where they were like we need to like the Trump administration is lagging behind Biden in terms of deportations and then they just took that and like turned it all the way up

and then the Supreme Court came in and was like yeah we don't that's fine we don't see anything wrong here yeah well I mean like the thing is like they're trying to use existing laws to try and do these things whereas there's no like like you know spitting on the floor spitting at the on the on the ground near someone that's not a law so that's that's what they're going to have to probably come through with some kind of overarching bill that's nebulous

enough that anyone can be charged under it right but we'll see we'll see I mean there I mean like to your point about like the numbers then be like what's our quota is happening like they were saying that that whole raid of the Hyundai plant in Georgia was because they were still like they were just they had their hair on fire trying to meet Stephen Miller's 3,000 arrests a day quota. Right. And they're like, fuck, we can get 450 right here even if fine people, yeah. A majority of them are here legally and it's going to truly ruin relationships with certain companies. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about Publishers Clearinghouse. We'll be right back.

I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos. Together we're launching The Moment, a new podcast about what it means to live through a time, as uncertain as this one. We sit down with politicians. I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations, but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. Artists and activists, I mean, do you ever feel demoralized? I might personally lose hope. This individual might lose the faith, but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith.

And that's what I believe in. To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective. There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text each other, sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country. This new podcast will be a way to make that ongoing intergenerational conversation public. Listen to The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos as part of the My Culture podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. On 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a tape-recorded statement. The person being interviewed is Krista Gail and Pike. This is in regards to the death of a Colleen slimmer. She started going off on me, and I hit her. I just hit her and hit her and hit her and hit her. On a cold January day in 1995, 18-year-old Krista Pike killed 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in the woods of Knoxville, Tennessee. Since her conviction, Krista has been sitting on death row. The state has asked for an execution date for Krista.

We let people languish in prison for decades, raising questions about who we consider fundamentally unrestorable. How does someone prove that they deserve to live? we are starting the recording now please state your first and last name christa pike listen to unrestorable season two proof of life on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and are you guys were you familiar publishers clearinghouse you remember the only thing I the only thing I know of them is

Ed McMahon at a door with balloons and a giant novelty check that's all that's all I knew Ed McMahon was in my mind was associated with it but I always just remembered, because wasn't it after the Super Bowl Publishers Clearing House would go? There was an annual thing I felt like,

where you could be like, oh shit, who's going to get the fucking knock? And will it be from the feds or publishers cleaning house? I just assumed that they made their own day of it. But like, I mean,

the whole thing is so crazy when you think about, like, what the fuck are they actually selling? Yeah. Yeah, in 95, it was from 1995, they did the winners right after the Super Bowl.

That was like, my thing was like, oh, then this is your post-credit scene from the Super Bowl where you get to see somebody get $10 million. So American. The American Dream. Well, the American Dream is dead. We'll get to what is going on with the people who got those big checks. But it does seem like it's just giant novelty check and Ed McMahon at your doorstep is such a powerful image that, like, it just, I don't know, it took on this life of its own.

So the reality is Publisher's Clearing House, it began as a way to replace door-to-door salesmen for magazine subscriptions. Right. And they would get a commission for every subscription sold. And then in the 60s, readers digest was already offering sweepstakes prizes, mailing cards to people with the famous phrase, you may already be a winner, which I was not familiar with. But I will take our writer jam's word for it, that it was iconic. Yeah. They were never affiliated with Ed McMahon.

A lot of people, myself included, thought Publishers Clearing House was the company that sent Johnny Carson's sidekick to people's homes with large checks. But this is, he didn't work for Publishers Clearing House. He worked for their competitor, American Family Publishers, and would appear in commercials in which the word publishers was more prominent than American family. And while he supposedly did carry big checks to people's houses in real life, The only footage of him doing that is from sitcoms and reality shows where the company wasn't specified. Which makes sense.

It's like Roseanne, who's the boss, the nanny, and boy meets world for like shows where Ed McMahon did the, I'm here with a check bit. Exactly. Which is like kind of the stuff like when you like of a certain age, you're like, yeah, I watched all those shows. So of course, I had that message reinforced many times probably. This is so bizarre. Isn't that weird that he wasn't like that wasn't a thing. that at least, yeah, that wasn't a thing I saw on TV. It's so weird to have such a clear memory of a thing that I, now that we're talking about it, did not and do not understand what the fuck it even is, what's the, I guess it's really just the transition from six, from door to door salespeople to websites.

Right. This was just the interim stage. Yeah, and like junk mail, getting people to open letters from publishers clearinghouse or America's media, America, American family publishers, which just sounds like. like the like far right version of publishers clearinghouse that said you may already be a winner. And then the image of Ed McMahon at your door with a check is like so sticky and powerful that people would just open that shit. And voila, you have a bunch of people registered to, you know, basically it's just a way of collecting people's data. Right. You know?

Yeah. Yeah. For it to sell to magazine companies, which. used to be so powerful that they, like, drove entire industries. I mean, remember, and growing up in school, there was the magazine drive. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, we did at my school.

It's like, how many magazine subscriptions can you fucking sell? And, like, they just outsource that shit to kids. And then if you sold one, they're like, here's a fucking cotton ball with googly eyes on it that we're calling people. Yeah. Which really so much revenue. How, I mean, I assume the thing with subscriptions is people forget about them and they just keep paying for them forever. It's basically like all of the things that drive the current economy,

but in like an analog form where it's like, you know, subscriptions that people forget about and don't realize that they're still paying for. And also like getting people's information, getting your data, getting your address, essentially, and then selling that back and forth between,

you know, data brokers, essentially. They were doing, they were the first to do that. Anyways, you know, and by the way,

they would target. old and low-income people, which, again, a good precursor for modern online scams. That's why I had to pay out like $18 million because they were doing like, well, maybe if you bought some shit, that might increase your chances.

And people were like, wait, I have to buy it. They're like, I don't know. I mean, maybe. And that's when they're like, no, you can't even imply that purchase was necessary to enter the sweepstakes. Yeah, yeah.

Every part of the publisher's clearinghouse business model Makes total sense, but it's insane to me. Yeah, it makes sense. It's insane. They, like, so some people did win the sweepstakes and opt for getting the money in, like, regular installments for the rest of their lives, which turns out bad decision because they just went bankrupt and now are being like, we don't have to pay that shit. Yeah.

Yeah, the new owner. They're saying they, they quote, not responsible for paying out prices, issued by a publisher's clearinghouse prior to July 15th of fucking this year. That's like everyone. Yeah, yeah. What? Yeah, yeah. It's pretty, it's like wild too because part of me, I'm like, oh, that must be so cool.

But then part of me is like, oh, that must suck if you were on this like slow drip of publisher's clearinghouse money for ages now. And then suddenly they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's Nolan void now. Sorry about that. I mean, I got you to sue them. CNN interviewed the 61-year-old guy in Washington State who had been promised $5,000 a week for life and now he's like looking for a new job

when his annual check for $260,000 didn't show up as expected in January and like they didn't even like tell the people the people had to be like hey I think my check the water's off on is supposed to come and they were like sorry new phone who does We don't know who you are. Don't worry. It'll be the same thing with Social Security, everyone.

Right. What happens? Oh, no, no, no. We're not doing that anymore. Sorry. Both the beginning of everything that's wrong with America and, like, the future of everything that's wrong with America. Yeah.

Also, like, 260 a year and you're blowing through that. I mean, look, everyone's going to do what they do. But I remember always thinking about, like, what I would do if I got, because I was so obsessed with publisher's clearinghouse. Like I would open this shit all the time. My parents are like, you fucking idiot, dude,

you didn't fucking win. Look, you fucking fell for it. Trying to get you to sign up for something, dumb, dumb, um, but I was like,

okay, how much would I be able to spend? Okay, what could I buy? And at that point, shit, man, if you were getting a quarter million every year,

just a check sent to you, I'd hope that you're not like suddenly like, bro, I'm gonna lose everything. Yeah, I think maybe you are. I mean, I think he was just like,

it's showing up every year. Yeah, yeah. It is really funny that he's just like, why wouldn't they, what would he say, like, why didn't someone gives me a heads up? It's not good way to treat anyone. And it's a little like, I mean, obviously they don't care, but like, why were they going to care? Right.

Truly. They're like, come on, man. It's not like there's a thing that companies did where they would pretend to be, you know, there was like a capitalism wore a mask. Yeah, it's like, we're changing your life. Yeah. Yeah, we're a local business or, you know. But the reason not to do this is PR, and I'm so sorry, but publishes Clearinghouse doesn't care.

No one knows they exist. There's no such thing as PR for them. They're being purchased, but I think this is like an app company that is just going to, you know, use whatever data collection. That's what's so wild. Like, just the, like, other weird companies buying dead brands is so funny because today there's that headline about the people behind lime wire bought the fire festival rights like in that eBay auction. Oh my God. And like lime wire was that like peer to peer buying dead company.

How do they have money to buy something? Because some, these two dudes then bought, these people bought the rights to lime wire a while back. And then they're like, well, now we're going to buy the rights to fire festival for like 250 grand or something. And Billy McBrougham was like, damn, that's such little money. He was doing a live stream during the eBay auction. And he was so visibly bumped out that he thought he was going to make millions. But it's just then, but then the fire festival like, or the LimeWire people were like, yeah, we're buying like the brand.

We're not trying to do the festival. It's like, we want to bring the meme to life kind of thing. And you're like, that is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever fucking heard. But here we are. Just zombies buying zombies and making zombies. Zombies having zombies. Yeah. Zombies making zombies.

Yeah. I guess that's how that works actually. Yeah. Gaming platform, ARB Interactive, purchased certain assets for publishers clearinghouse for $7 million. I mean, I guess it makes sense because their primary target is old people anyway, so I'm sure there's some value in that for them. But $7 million with a value? And then establish PCH digital, a new platform that hosts sweepstakes opportunities. Right.

So, yeah, just a thing. Right. A sinkhole for old people to. More desperation in general, I guess. dump their finances into. Cool. So cool, cool country. Yeah, so that's where, if you have any positive associations with, you know, those big

oversized checks showing up at people's doors, this is where that ends. This is where that all ends up. Oh, man, their description, oh, man, the descript, like, when you go to ARB Interactive's website, are flagship free-to-play gaming platform designed for thrill seekers who crave casino action anywhere any time. Okay. Sounds good. This is where we are.

I mean, I don't like this, but I understand this. Yeah, yeah. Andrew, you crave casino action. You crave casino action anywhere.

I am the, yeah, but playing, I am the casino action. That's right. Yeah, you had a great pitch about bringing casino action to flights. The lobby is beat you to it,

though, Andrew. I'm just saying, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just so curious why it doesn't exist. Yeah, why it hasn't happened yet. Less of a pitch, but I'm just curious.

There were regulations before. Yeah, none anymore. What are the laws of the sky? But that's what I'm saying. International flight. I know. Yeah, it's some version of aviation law, I guess. Right.

Yeah, it seems based on the thing, like, because it's, apparently they're trying to make it possible for plans that take off or land in Connecticut. So it sounds like maybe the flight is ruled by the law of the place at Tokyo. That can't be right. That's so crazy. Is that some kind of legal doctrine we don't know about? Yeah, maybe. I mean, most legal doctrines are ones we don't know about, to be fair.

But because under that logic, how come every flight to Vegas is in a casino flight? Oh, you know if that happens. If they could. That's a really good point. If they could replace every third seat with a slot machine, they absolutely would do it. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, there are no, they're like, on Southwest, there are no middle seats because that's a slot machine. like they yeah so there must be a reason because if they could they would truly think it's

only because there were regulations in place that was like frowning upon making gambling so frictionless and seamless for people to lose their money and i think yeah because the article i read about delta doing this is they're like no it's because trump's in office that they're like yeah i think we can get this one through yeah let's at least try to jam it on it on through yeah who knew electing a casino magnate to president. So to be fair, one of the few people who's lost money running casino. Yeah, I get casino owner.

Yeah. Failed casino owner. Yeah. Failed money printing owner. Yeah. Kept fucking up the money printing machine that I own. Crazy. Andrew T.

Such a pleasure having you. I was always on the Daily Zytheist. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff. Andrew T on social media, last name is T.I. I don't know. Someone find my fucking alien tweet

or blue sky. Hurry. Hurry up. I just, I'm just going to be there. It's somewhere. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? I don't know.

This is boring. There's a new season of Taskmaster out. I think they're doing a day and date on YouTube, so you don't have to get some weird hacked channel 4 stream anymore. You can watch it on YouTube, same time. I love that show. It's so dumb.

What is Testmaster again? It's like a British, it's not exactly a game show, but it's sort of a game show, panel show slash game show, 10, five contestants, 10 episodes over the series, not the season. And it's just like really silly games that they take 25% too seriously. And it's really funny. It's really good. It's just a thing where it's like you get to see
