We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the faces on Mount Zypemore. He is the hilarious comedian, Mr. Billy Wayne Davis. Good evening. Oh, hello. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. How are you guys doing? Fantastic. Good.

Ooh, I like this new sensual. NPR BWD. I'm just trying out for The Quiet Storm. What's The Quiet Storm? Do you remember that? It's on like R&B stations. Oh. It'd be like, hey, you're listening to The Quiet Storm.

Oh, that was a syndicated radio show? Yeah. I was singing the Bob Deeb song. No, it was like a radio show. And it was just like romance I thought it was a very good reference But neither of you know what I'm talking about But I thought it was like a syndicated radio show

Where it would just be like this cool black dude Would come on and be like Melvin Lindsay? Yes Okay I'm reading about the history I didn't get it I didn't understand what So it started in D.C.

It is a thing right? Yeah yeah in D.C. It started in D.C. I was like the way you guys were like I don't know what you're talking about. I was like, maybe it was from one movie I saw. Yeah, you're like, uh-oh. No, yeah, it started in D.C.

It's like a contemporary R&B. Yeah. I love contemporary R&B. He would do the thunder and the lightning, the quiet storm. I just remember being a kid and being like, this is sexy. I shouldn't do this. I feel sex in the air. Oh, listen to this.

So what happened was people then started taking that as just like a format and then doing their own versions of the Quiet Storm. Ah, okay. Because I'm like, it's weird. The way it shows up in a Wikipedia article, it's like, yeah, there's this guy who's doing it. And then people sort of made it their own ting. Uh-huh. Got you. Are you from Toronto?

Oh, yeah. Top left. Billy Wayne, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about today. We are finally going to get to the debate, the Nevada debate. Elizabeth Warren came to drink beer and kick ass, and they were all out of beer. She ethered Mike Bloomberg. Thank God.

Yes. There were 33 and a half million viewers. So a lot of people saw that. How did they know? They just got those numbers. They just saying stuff? I think they have. I think by now, like it used to be that they would call people and be like, what'd you watch

last night? And then just like extrapolate based on that. Oh yeah, our family was when you had to fill out the thing. Yeah, but I think now like TVs are super computer like they're listening to you. Oh, that's true. They know

more about you than they should. Hey look, if you work for Nielsen, let us know. Yeah. That is funny, though. You'd be like, I didn't watch that. And then the TV's like, yeah, you did. Yeah, you did. Damn, buddy.

Well, I guess what, you left it on that channel. Did like that. The Oscars, comparatively, only $23 million. Yeah. All right. That's more than I thought. So I'm glad. Way more than you should.

A little more. Yeah. Way more than you should watch that show. Dan Rohrabacher confirmed he did offer Julian Assange a pardon. Oh, great. In exchange for evidence supporting a Trump conspiracy theory. That's awesome. Another one of these things where it's just like,

so that should be it, right? Nope. Nope. No. Come on, Jack. Fuck that. Come on. Come on, baby.

We're going to talk about the Browns offensive tackle, Greg Robinson, who was arrested with a startling amount of marijuana in his car in El Paso. You said startling and you meant stupid. It's a stupid amount. I'm just picturing Like trash bags In a In the backseat It was

Duffel bags Duffel bags Okay Which is Just a step below Right As far as trafficking Marijuana goes

Yeah Like I The cops could smell His car passing by Like it's not like You need to pull him over Wait that's what happened No no

I'm just saying No he did something Even dumber than that Oh well You'll have to put me on. I've already tweeted about it. We'll talk about that quarter pounder with cheese scented candles that McDonald's is making. We're going to talk about the Lovers and Friends concert.

Because our TVs are watching us. That's why they did that. Yes, exactly. They know all of that and more. But first, Billy Wayne, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I looked up how much the MLB TV package is. Okay. And what did you find?

It's like a little over $100. Is that good? I don't know. Yeah. I think it was less than I thought it was, if I'm being honest. But still, on second thought, I was like, it's still a little over $100. That's for everything, though. Yes, it's still a little over a hundred bucks. That's for everything, though.

I can, yes, you can watch literally every fucking game you want. Wait, including the Dodgers? That's why I was- In Los Angeles? That's why I brought it up. Shocking. That's why I had to look it up. Not because I travel so much, just because I like to watch the team I like. Right, the team you like in the town that they play in.

That I can see the fireworks from my house. Right, but you can't watch them on the TV. Or something like, oh, you got Spectrum? Right. Okay, good luck watching the Dodgers. You thought you were a Dodger fan. Got so excited last year a couple times when they played on ESPN that I was like, I shouldn't have to feel like this.

And MLB.com, right? That's like a pretty good, I don't know. I've heard good things about their streaming service. Yeah, and someone was like, wait till after, right after the season starts. They mark it down. They mark it down. Okay. But you get, like, if you do it now, you get the spring training stuff too.

Live from Vero Beach. I just know I don't watch it close enough to get that. But once the season starts, I'd like to. The NBA package, when you, like, it was like 10 years ago, you started being able to just stream it onto your phone, and I felt like I was in the future. Oh, yeah. I was just like, I can watch any NBA game on my phone? Yeah. Are you fucking kidding me?

We were in the future. Yeah. We could have just capped off technology right there. I know. I really don't know we need to go further at this point. If like I can take a phone with me anywhere and be like, yeah, I can watch that wherever. At a wedding? Because I remember back in the day if there was like a boxing, like a fight or something during a wedding or God forbid a big game,

someone would either have like this sneaky TV set up in another room where you wouldn't get yelled at or like someone was a hacker who could like pull off a pirate stream onto a laptop and now like motherfuckers are just brazen at like weddings with their phones just like looking down yes right what are you doing yeah nothing i bet it's increased attendance to church probably quietly watch your right like a lot of men are probably like yeah i got church yeah yeah yeah i love church. Or you're the homie and you have like a... He's such a good husband.

Yeah. Right. He's always reading from the hymnal. Right. It's like beautiful. He's always reading out that Bible. And like very spirited. You hollow it out and just put a phone in there.

Right. Pass it on. He's always listening to hymns in his earpads. What is something you think is overrated? The Grand Canyon. Overrated. Over. It's dangerous.

Okay. What happened? Oh, no. I mean, also, I think a lot of people die there every year and no one talks about it, but it is. They do make it aware, like you aware of it when you go there. There's just like the fattest people and the most non-athletic people with their animals and children around just a giant hole that's still it's crumbling it's

getting grander as you're looking over like there's just dirt just falling off like and then there's high winds it's just a nightmare so you So you're just like, you think it's scary. It's terrifying. And to take your family, I think I was just on full alert the whole time because you're just trying to protect them. Yeah, like the wind could blow my family away. Yeah, there's high winds, and then there's just lazy people everywhere, lazy dumb people.

And then everything's kind of a death trap. And also it snakes up on you, which is not, they don't tell you about that. What do you mean? Like you can't see it. Right. Because it's not up in the air. Yeah. Or like there's trees too you have to drive through to get to it.

Yeah. And that's a weird thing that you're just like, I guess you park and they say it's like right over there. Yeah. And then you walk and then you are like, nope, there it is. Holy shit. Oh. It's kind of scary.

It's big. It's very scary. I think it's, yeah. That part is overrated. A little betting on over-unders on Grand Canyon deaths here? Oh. I would say over 300 a year. Oh.

Okay. Yo, that is strong. Hey, you want to take that? You want that action? I'm going to go under. I'm going to go a strong under. Okay i'm gonna go 13 wow 12 on average now that is from a lion natural causes medical problems uh suicide heat drowning traffic collisions now more specifically according to some data that's been there up until 2017,

how many people do you think die from what you are talking about, Billy, falling? Accidentally. Yeah. Yeah. A bunch. Oh, still 300? I'd say a million. All right, Leonidas. It's crazy it's not a million fat people a year.

What sayest thou, Jack? A year? Knowing that there's 12. Right. In total. Now, how many do you think are from falling over that year? Knowing that there's 12. Right. In total. Now, how many do you think are from falling over that? Three. I think that's bullshit.

I think there's more than that. Three a year. Three. Is it? Yeah. Damn. I'm really good at guessing numbers, guys. Let's just talk about that for a little bit.

I mean, I'm sure this is just from a website that I just created for the sake of this segment. But yeah, that's according to when you Google it, that's what it comes up. Hey, but if you're a ranger, I'm sure people know the real team. I like where you're going. We're like, no, they got to keep that shit. I think they do. It's a fucking death trap.

It is a large business. There's a lot of theories about just state parks in general that they like kind of keep shit under wraps. It's one of the more profitable holes in the world. I've always thought that Vegas kind of under reports their crime quite a bit. Oh, God damn. Yes.

It's fully like my friend had tourism supported. Yes. It's just the saddest people. Not right. Things not working out. Yeah. I had a friend intervene during a robbery on the strip you shouldn't do that i was yeah yeah you if you saw this dude you'd be like he looks like someone who would intervene during

a robbery you should right yeah and i was like bro i'm go ahead you you have i'm like you have kids and you still did that shit yeah that's dumb man well he was just your kids yeah he just has this energy though he was like hey and the and! And he was like, what the fuck? Like, charge this dude. And the guy went running. And I was like, dude, what if he fucking clapped you or something? Some people just have that, like, either it's brave or stupid or whatever. How many drinks deep was he? Barely any.

Barely any. But I like that. No, not. And I would say. He was feeling loose. Yeah, you know how it gets. I was feeling break up was feeling loose. Yeah, you know how it gets. I was feeling breakup or robbery loose. Yeah.

He's like, look, I have a couple two-foot margaritas. Yeah. And I start feeling like I get that vigilante bite. I used to get very brave when I was drunk, and I think it was because it was the first time I had sensed anything approaching bravery in my life. It was like after a couple drinks, I was like, whoa, this must be what people feel like.

Whoa, I'm Superman. Let's punch stuff. Right. I saw two homeless dudes fighting one time. I turned the corner, and they were going at it, and my instinct was to break them up. Sure. Yeah. But then I stopped myself because I was like, they know what this is about, and I don't,

and they'll just turn on me. Or somebody, the homie might see you and think you're jumping in for somebody else. And I just kind of slowly backed away. And then they did. They worked it out and went on their way. That's always funny when you watch a fist fight or street fight sort of naturally end without any party being KO'd. All right, dude, fuck it.

It was. All right, fuck it. Are not cool are we cool that's what they can they both say we're cool we're cool yeah you cool i'm cool and then they went the other way i was like that is just for me today i guess yeah like you're looking around anybody no one else just me in this alley in seattle i was like yeah i'm gonna go home i think right um underrated home i think right um underrated grand canyon all right uh underrated is also great underrated grand canyon deaths like once you do walk through their thing and you get over the fear it is like my son said he's like it doesn't look real right right and there's i can't describe anything else there's not many things else in my life i can be like yeah you're right

this is that's right crazy look at right were you like photoshopped it just feels like you just want to touch it right who drew that right i'm sure that's how people end up falling to their deaths yeah they're like like just sort of entranced maybe or whatever i don't call it the void yeah like the like native americans early, they're like bringing somebody like, all right, now, you're going to freak the fuck out. Be cool, man. Don't jump off. You're going to want to jump off.

Last white guy I showed this to fucked him up forever. You can see his bones at the bottom. Right. Have you been to the floor of the Grand Canyon? No, I do want to do that. I did that. The only time I've seen it was like on the floor. So I don't even have like the, isn't horseshoe bending part of the Grand Canyon? Yeah. Yeah. So I've never seen that, but I've done like the floor of the Grand Canyon type

tour. Did you have your eyes closed when you were up top? Yeah. The whole time helicopter ride was too scary. Oh, you really did a helicopter ride? No, it was a helicopter ride to the floor of the Grand Canyon. Damn. And yeah, so okay, what am I saying? I saw it from there. Right. But it wasn't like the same. That's tough not to see.

Yeah, you weren't standing on the edge. No, I wasn't doing like the edge. Spitting into it like the rest of us. I would have been probably freaked out because sometimes heights fuck with me. Especially when I'm looking over an edge, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. But being on the floor was also a trip too when you're sort of like, holy shit. That's all I thought when I was like, I do want to go back and I'd like to do the raft

through the river through it. I think being in the bottom, I don't like heights. So that too, the whole time I was like, let's just leave. This is, everyone's going to die. I like how you're really skating. I don't know. This is pretty overrated, guys.

I don't know about y'all, but. Yeah. Well, I mean, as far as like a vacation sure it wasn't fun right so you went to on a vacation how many days 45 minutes we were there 45 minutes we were on our way to some oh on your way somewhere else we're gonna do the day there and then i was there for 45 minutes yeah and deuces and they were making fun of me everybody's like yeah it's fine i don't care right yeah yeah there's not a whole lot to do other than just feel really small and insignificant. And what human being, especially American, would want that?

Right. Well, it is kind of a cool spiritual experience, but it's also there's not a lot to do. It's not. I can't imagine kids wanting to spend a lot of time there. My son was very much, he was making fun of my fear of heights the whole time. He's like, look, I'm gonna jump off. I was like, I hate everything you're doing. He's just laughing.

Right. And he's like, look, I'm gonna throw the dog off. I was like, I'm gonna throw up. And we get in the car. I do wonder if people are more likely to fall off of that than something that's less dramatic because it's hard to miss the grand canyon yeah yeah like you're kind of aware of that like yeah i don't know or like

snake canyon where the evil knievel would you jump over right like i've driven over there and you can't see it either right when you're driving that always made me laugh like there had to be people on horses they just didn't know it was coming right yeah i was on their trail man yeah every time i crossed her i was like oh man there's some people that are like oh that's they're just oh finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false oh or vice versa i think people think the Bigfoot is a myth but I think he's real okay

you been hanging out with Chris Crofton or something I mean I do hang out with Chris Crofton but that's not that has nothing we're both at your

live taping yeah that has nothing to do with I was unsure about Bigfoot until I moved to the northwest and I've been

in those woods and that's I was like oh if a creature's smart enough, he could live up here pretty easy. Pretty vast. Yeah. And he could take care of himself. If I were able to put together the funds for you to find Bigfoot, would you undertake such an endeavor?

Yeah, if I don't have to worry about money. Fuck yeah. I would do so much if they were just like, here's the money. I'm like, sure, that sounds like a fun year. Do you think you would, you could actually figure something out?

If you were enough that you sort of felt intuitively like in the space that it was roaming, like, okay, I could see how I could fucking rock around. I don't know if I could

give you definitive proof. Sure. But I think, yeah, I think I could find, you know. I'm honestly, we should put a GoFundMe together. I'll pay to see you and Chris Croft and hunt Bigfoot. Yeah could find, you know. I'm honestly, we should put a GoFundMe together.

I'm more interested if I'm being honest. I'll pay to see you and Chris Croft and hunt Bigfoot. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. I don't care enough. Yeah. Right, exactly. I care more about aliens.

I'm more interested in aliens and what's underwater than I am Bigfoot. I just think Bigfoot's real. I do. I find Bigfoot conspiracies somewhat, I don't know. No, just like boring, even though like, yeah, I don't really have a strong opinion on whether there is a Bigfoot or not. I just don't. Like there's this thing, I actually referenced it like not five minutes ago,

the fact that like there's all these people who disappear in state parks out west and it there's all these really mysterious write-ups of these disappearances. But then the deeper you dig into those write-ups, the more you realize people are just saying Bigfoot is stealing all these people from the state parks. It's just Bigfoot conspiracy theorists. Okay. I like that they're like it could be murder but it's probably it's probably bigfoot if i had to guess so there's a binary choice like that we're going with bigfoot keeps eating people right or it could have been

someone trying to you know evade some kind of debt they had oh yeah or just you know we have a serial killer out right because the woods are pretty deep. Yeah. Right. It's a good place to do that. I think it's also really easy to get lost in the woods. well there's, that's okay. Here's another part of why I believe the Bigfoot thing. Uh, when I,

I did a bunch of stuff, I'd never lived in the Northwest or even visited there when I started living there. So I did a bunch of research and one of the cool things I found was like between Sacramento and Anchorage, there's been over 500 small plane crashes. They've just never found the wreckage. Yeah.

Just never. When you look at Alaska, like the square mileage of Alaska compared to the other states, it is completely. And then you look at the population. Right. Yeah. It's three dudes named steve and brenda over there right yeah exactly uh square mileage of alaska is 663 000 square miles texas is in second with 268 square miles texas is like a giant country if you've ever driven across it.

Hell yeah, it is. If you've ever lived there. Right. Well, it's always funny when... I love doing the thing where they just put the shape of Texas over Europe and you're like, okay. This shit is gigantic.

I'm glad Texas doesn't know that. Right. They just take over Europe. Wait, what? We got how many guns we just take the train from city to city yeah if you just put all of texas's guns and combined them into one big gun oh place that over europe that would be fucking dope i think hitler tried to do that he did you know we get some of the guns he built yeah he's He was, like, just bigger. Back when, yeah. Okay, dude. Before the History Channel became just alien shit.

Right. Like, when they used to be, like, I remember, I think there was. The train gun? Yeah, and there was, like, and the other ones that were, like, the Nazis super gun. That was, like, built into a fucking mountain and shit. He looked into building a giant mirror, like, sun mirror to try and, like, roast his enemies like ants and, like, really, like, put his scientists into it. Hey, meth will do that to you.

I was going to say, that's the methiest thing I've heard him do. Yeah, exactly. But he was fucking flying on meth for his entire career. The best anecdotes, again, I always bring this up, is when Mussolini tried to get out of a talk with him because he was so high on

meth, he was talking to him for three straight hours, non-stop. Mussolini couldn't get a word in, and he was so high on meth he was talking to him for three straight hours non-stop muslin he couldn't get a word in and he's like i need to fucking get out the fuck out of here he's like look i'm not a good dude but this guy but what the fuck is this jesus we're in business with him yep and then you look at trump's uh background with amphetamines and things. Well, if you notice, like if you're a good person and you're having to do bad things, you're usually an alcoholic, right? If you're a bad person and you get to do bad things,

you usually want something to keep you up. So you keep going and going and going. Yeah. More of a church. He was just the whole time. I was like, Oh Jesus. More people go die. Oh, fuck.

Just got to cope. Hammering them back. More people go die. Oh, God damn it. And Hitler was like, what if we build a giant mirror? And they're like, hey, what's that? And then we punch them in the dick.

What about that? He's like, I don't know if you're, I said, what if we build a giant, okay, yep, yep. We'll get right on that. Tornado cannons was another thing he looked into. He had some big ideas. He was fun. Yeah.

He was fun at parties until he wasn't. Right, until he really wasn't. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified Should we wake her up? Absolutely not

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it That was live audio of a woman's nightmare This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago We're not hurting people

There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

I know it was a couple nights ago now, but I don't know.

I think let's just play the piece of media that I think will last from that debate. Yeah, so I guess if people don't know, just for some context, very early on in the debate, it became clear that Mike Bloomberg was the bell of the ball. And by that, people were going to beat the shit out of him with socks full of batteries.

People keep acting like, people keep saying that they were ganging up on him, but I think... Nobody was ganging up on him. But I think nobody was ganging up on anybody. I think that effect was created by him not being able to like respond in any sort of way that to describe that being like when you say ganging up on someone, it's usually like that was unwarranted. Right. Unfair. This guy is a racist billionaire who is just trying to spend his way into whatever the nomination. So yeah, these other people who have like tried to build campaigns are rightfully like, look at this fucking guy. And he behaves like he hadn't interacted.

Also that's dramatic to say gang up. Right. It's not a fight. Right. No. It's words. No one's ganged. Like if you can't handle being cornered rhetorically.

Or by your own actions. And he just looked. And he's like, ah. He looked like a billionaire should look, though. Right. When you're cornered like that. That's where Trump is just genius. It's not a genius.

He's mentally ill. Right. Is what his mental illness is. He's got the perfect mental illness. He's just like, what? You guys are talking about me. That's cool. Right. Yeah. Everyone's talking about me. That's cool. Right.

Yeah. Everyone's talking about me. I love it. Everyone's like, fuck you. And he's like, hey, me. That's right. Talking about me. And Bloomberg's just like, no, yeah, hi.

I did that. I did do that. He looked lost. He looked uncomfortable. He also just had the vibe of someone who hadn't interacted with another human American in the last 15 years. Anyone who wasn't being mediated by their desire to get some of his money. Absolutely. Just kissing his fucking ass.

He did look like that. Why are you talking to me like that? Wait, what the fuck is happening right now? I have a lot of money. Do you know who you're talking to? Don't you need my money? I've never seen someone in a debate literally look

like the moderator should have given him a standing eight count. Like that he was like punch drunk. I don't know. He also kind of had that sociopathic like he just turned off too. Where like he's like yeah maybe you are bringing all this out to light. And he's like I'm unaffected by it actually because I'm worth $60 billion.

That's why after you get one sexual harassment thing, you do another one. Right. Because you're just like, oh, that was just no money to me. For sure. So that's more funny to me. Yeah. Like a lunatic. The whole lead up to this debate, there's just been soundbite after quotable, after all these things coming out about Mike Bloomberg, whether it was his racism, transphobia, misogyny, whatever, sexual harassment, you can fucking name it.

And Warren and Warren has been, I'd say, traditionally, like across this entire primary, the best debater by a good margin. Like she has kicked ass oh yeah and then she had like sort of a medium-ish debate the last time yeah people were like well we'll look for warren to like maybe come back and like have something to say this time and uh we'll see how bloomberg holds up and it was like so she had How'd he hold up? Oh, my God. Literally, the bell rings for the first round, and she basically pulled out a fucking javelin missile launcher. And this corner guy is just waving bills of money.

He's making it rain on her. You okay? So he comes out and basically takes him to task about the shit, a lot of the sexual harassment and his behavior around women. This is also, so this is, we like this clip because... God bless the internet. Yeah, the internet is undefeated. Putting her remarks under the ether beat from the famous Nas and

Jay-Z beat of the early 2000s. And she, for lack of a better word, yeah, ethered. Anyway, listen for yourself. I'd like to talk about who we're running against. A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians. And no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg.

Fuck my clique. Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist policies like redlining and stop and frisk. Oh, boy. So there were a number of moments, right, where she basically got him in a corner being like, what about all these NDAs? Right. He's like, well, you know, there's just a few,

maybe a few women who maybe didn't like a joke that I told. Or men. Or men. Or men. Yeah, he jumped in there. It was very painful. And literally the audience was like, oh. They got various answers.

The debate was interesting in that it definitely gave red meat for the media because it was about the same amount of substance as a Real Housewives tell-all reunion special within the same amount of drama. The substance I would have loved a little bit more maybe on immigration and some other issues, but I think a lot of people were really there to see what would happen to Mike Bloomberg. were really there to see what would happen to Mike Bloomberg. And my God, all I could think of when I was watching everything, I was like, okay, so Elizabeth Warren is Undertaker.

Right. And came back and was like, you thought I was down. Yeah. I mean, it will be interesting to see what happens to our polls because we've talked before about how a lot of the fade, at least my theory is that it was like around electability and, you know. I think it was about needing a moderate. Right. And they couldn't give dual shine to two people who are talking spicy about the billionaire class. Right. There's no way they could do that because they need to be in the

bag for a moderate. Right. but i'm saying like she was kind of the main focus of the mainstream media for a while and then they were just like all right we're over that because then it became this weird pivot to klobuchar too well yeah but i think bernie also i mean his numbers just stayed stayed there well they both i think she raised something like three million dollars off the strength of that debate. Yeah. Like that night. Yeah. Bernie did something like two point eight million. Yeah. There was a lot of moments. Again, I was almost doing spit takes watching because at one point. My goodness, Elizabeth Warren, they start they start down the path of comparing people's Medicare plans or health care plans.

of comparing people's Medicare plans or health care plans. And she's like, Mayor Pete has a fucking PowerPoint that was basically written by lobbyists. It's nonsense. And Amy, I mean, you know, her plan might as well be written on a Post-it note. Right. Insert plan here. Yes. And I was like, oh, my God.

There's like nobody is safe tonight. Nobody is fucking safe. And you can see Amy Klobuchar was like kind of hurt yeah she was like she was gobsmacked listen it was an index card right yeah no her comeback was well i thank you because post-its were actually invented in minnesota that was her she said yes i mean come on improv on just say nothing instead of that improv Amy showed up for sure cause she had a few other zingers she had like

you know anybody who's known about like done any kind of improv you know some people will think of the joke that they've already thought of and just shoehorn it into a scene because they're like this is gonna be funny I don't know if it comes completely out of context at this point but five minutes ago it's the most hilarious thing I thought of.

She was doing a lot of that. And like you said before, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right. Please clap. Bloomberg was totally just out of his depth. I don't understand what he thought

was going to happen. I'm so confused by the strategy here. I don't. Like we were saying before, Billy, the grifters came because they're saying this guy has no moral compass. He's just throwing money at consultants. So he's surrounding himself with a team,

a campaign team, who's probably just not going to push back on him if he's like, hey, Mike, you should probably do some debate prep for this because based on all the shit that's come out this week i can guarantee you someone is going to ask you about almost all of these just everything you've ever done seems not good he's like it's fine what i'll do is i'll point to my record as the mayor of one of the most diverse cities and i will have about this much energy as i defend my racism or misogyny well I think if you as someone who is well-versed and people coming at him heated right yeah then just hey right sorry I can that does if I could direct you to

this enormous pile of money I have right that. That will take care of anything that's in front of me. Yeah. It really was the moment, like you're saying though, Jack, like no one is ever going to check Mike Bloomberg in his own world. Right. Because he is God, so he feeds everybody. He'll never interact with somebody who's going to be like,

yeah, man, fuck you. You think he was like, oh, it's this. Right. No, I don't want to do this. Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't walk off the stage. He's like, oh, if you're going to act like animals, I don't need anything to do with this. I'll buy the DNC. I just wanted to yell at Donald on the TV.

Once he got to go behind closed doors and have the hundreds of thousands of people that he's paying to you know run his campaign uh work do work for him uh he started coming back with like the pithy responses and the edited videos that are like it's just like yeah man like okay we get it you're sort of you're the wizard of oz right exactly i've bet with his money he'll pay Anthony Jeselnik to be him at the next debate. He'll be like, just do whatever you want out there. Just give him a hard time, you know? I would like that. I would love to see it.

But I almost see someone like that who's like, I thought I'd just give money and you guys make it work. What the hell was that? Yeah. Get a guy out there who looks like me who's going to do better out there. Yeah. Get a guy out there who looks like me who's going to do better out there. Over that, he's just, I think he thought, I'll just get to make fun of Donald really a lot.

Right. And build my brand some. And call Bernie a communist. Yeah. And say some mean stuff, like kind of cunty. Yeah. But he didn't realize that. That everyone hated him. Oh oh you guys have been practicing

all right that's not fair yeah he but he just he seemed like he was stammering and making up the responses on the spot to the main critique like the main angles of critique that he should have known were coming because the media was like here's what they're about to hit him on. So it was just, it was kind of puzzling. Well, he's got billionaire brain too, where it's like even his responses to normal questions are just like, no, that's not how a person handles a problem. Well, because, yeah.

Don't you have a person to do the thing? Right, once you get rich, you start changing the narrative of how you got rich so that it was all because you are uniquely a genius smarter than anyone else in the world. I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep for like a decade. Right. So I'm just better than everyone.

And so there's like a unique sort of self gaslighting thing that happens with these billionaires who like kind of create their own self mythologizing. who like kind of create their own self-mythologizing. And so I do think that, you know, he just has a lower standard for himself than probably anyone else in the race. Yeah, Bernie, it was funny when he was just like looking at it, he was like, I think it's obscene that you even exist. Right. Like $60 billion.

Yeah, it is obscene. And then really hitting them with that like really subtle marxist shit being like yeah maybe the workers are the people you extracted the 60 billion dollars from and people are like yeah i mean that's not even marxism though i mean that's i mean i guess if you're talking about labor theory of value like that kind of very sort of you know specific but i mean that whole but it true, but it's funny to see, I don't know. He was even kind of like, huh? Right. Did that come off the backs of people or just, I just,

I just shake hands and I get more money. He just has a complete existential crisis on stage. He just brings up the possibility that he was helped by other people. They put them on like a, like a dolly and just cart him out. Yeah. So you guys put this whole stage together, huh? But I mean, that's... Wow.

That just didn't appear, huh? Yeah. Wow. I didn't think about that. That is a problem that successful people in America of all sorts have, is that they just have no conception that they didn't do it all themselves because America allows them to uh you know create a myth because america wants them to have done it themselves so america just

is like you're a singular genius a man of great character we can all we can all become you yeah exactly no no that's not how that works um that guy didn't have morals that's how he got that it was funny to see joe Joe Biden completely in the background. Yeah. And being like, almost when he would chime in, it was almost like, hey, hey, I'm an old spooky guy that's also here. Come on now. He's the guy that's been touring for like 20 years, and he's going out one more time. And like midway through the tour, he's like, you guys, I thought I could do it.

I can't do this yeah i don't i don't know what's funny anymore i want to yell at him i don't even know what to say he had my favorite line of the night it was actually after the debate he said to uh bloomberg welcome to the party man yeah clapped him on the back which i think is a pretty funny way to uh sum up bloomberg's night doesn't this suck. I think it was actually an homage to Pop Smoke, whose song Welcome to the Party was one of his biggest hits. Oh, wow. So RIP, Biden putting...

The whole thing... I think he gave Biden a lot of credit. Yeah. The other part that was really interesting was when Amy Klobuchar was having to, like, there was a greatly pointed question asked about how she couldn't recall the name of the Mexican president, and everyone was sort of piling on kind of being like yeah i mean i you concerning the committees you're on you think you'd know the president of the country to our

southern border but not saying his name well yeah well after obviously the question it was posed it was over door but like the it's sort of her this sort of set off this weird back and forth between her and Pete Blue Judge, where he was like, he's like, you know, just I think it's important. And you don't know these things. And she was sort of her her refrain was this thing of like, I got one. I did not know the name of this person. I'm sorry. Like that. That was a mistake.

I know these other things, but that shouldn't negate the other things that I've achieved or accomplished. And she was getting frustrated. And then Elizabeth Warren was like, well, hold on, guys. That's not fair. But I was like, Elizabeth, you flamed her whole corpse like 15 minutes ago. It was funny to see sort of the interactions. At a certain point, I was like, damn, Amy, they got your number right now. And it sucks to just see them just come at you like that because you don't deserve that.

I mean, who knows? Maybe it's time. But you also, yeah, you see where the, why some people are good at this thing and some other people. Yeah. It's like, you do see that where you're like, oh, you're not, you're not as skilled at this as the rest of them. Like, I can tell you're a good person. Yeah. Who's just, you're getting frustrated up there.

Those are main people you're up there with, and main for good. Yeah, or at least you need that in your toolbox. You can be like, oh, I can fucking – I can exchange. We can trade bars. You can use this later, but you should get out of here before they hurt you. Right. I mean, Elizabeth Warren also criticized Sanders for his plans not being as well thought out as hers. And he was like, yeah, maybe more on that later.

But that does seem like a pretty effective way for her to go at him because they have similar plans. But hers are more detailed in certain situations. And so that strikes at something I think average people are probably scared of about Bernie, which is that it's more ideological and less like... I don't know if average people, that's what they're scared of. Yeah, maybe not. Maybe not. If I'm being honest,

I've met a lot of average people and the details of policy is not what they're concerned. Where's that other $25 trillion fill in from? George W. Bush gave me $300 fucking dollars. Right. Hey. Whereas Pete Buttigieg's attack, though, that Bernie's followers are mean, and that's a reflection of his campaign being mean,

that seemed dumb by comparison. His batteries are going low. Yeah. He's not functioning like he was in the beginning. What was up with his 5 o'clock shadow he was rocking? He had a little stubble going on. He was trying to be sexy. Was that like a post-season playoff beard he's got going?

I think it was a I'm not a robot beard. Oh, if I was a robot, could I grow these beard hairs? Could I do this in my face? Right. There is a New York Times breaking report that intelligence officials have briefed House members that Russia is already interfering in the 2020 election on Trump's behalf. Hell yeah. Which was not surprising to, I think, anybody. But it's interesting that our intelligence...

They got an email from Russia. Agencies know already. We're going to tell you. Hey, FYI. He's like, hey, we're going to tell you because we know you can't do shit about it. We looked into it already. We're just going to tell you. They're like, here's the whole plan.

It's a PDF. It's not. You guys are going to love this one. It's on Linux. Yeah. Yeah. We're just going to straight up change the numbers. That's the plan.

Sorry. That's it. No trolls this time. Way cheaper. You can hack a voting machine with a thumb drive. And just with regards to the sort of mask-off Republican strategy right now, Dana Rohrabacher said he did. So this was something that I guess was being reported,

but that Trump had Dana Rohrabacher offer Julian Assange a pardon in exchange for evidence that Russia hadn't interfered in the 2016 election. And I just assumed that's where it was going to end. It was going to be a report from the media, and Trump would be like, fake news. I've never heard of Dana Rohrabacher. Yeah, and that's literally what he said. That's a perfect name, though. yeah and that's literally what he said perfect though uh yeah that's literally what he said but uh roerbacher has said in an interview

he did offer assange a pardon and then went home and called the chief of staff at the time john kelly uh to you know report back to him so and john and John Kelly, but yeah, I've read that, but John Kelly was like, I don't know. Yeah, he was like, we don't need anything. We don't want to be anywhere near this fucking guy. Oh, did he? John Kelly was like, chill the fuck out. You just said that shit out loud? I do not doubt, though, that someone

else was like, cool. Right. But John Kelly was like, smart enough to be like, get the fuck and stop. Shut your mouth. Right. Stop talking right now. Right. John Kelly was smart enough to be like, get the fuck, stop, shut your mouth. Right. Stop talking right now. Right. Because he's vaguely competent.

Yeah, because he's, you know. Yeah. In a sign that things haven't gone completely all the way to shit, just like 95% of the way there, Roger Stone did get some time in jail. He didn't get all the way off. Still gone to shit. 40 months. 40 months, and there are people in jail. He didn't get all the way off. It's still gone to shit. 40 months. 40 months, and there are people in jail who like, you know.

I'm going to go 95%. You start comparing these sentences with other people's crimes. Hey. And it's like, the fucking judicial system is fucked up. The judge did criticize him for lying to protect Trump. No, she did what she could because it was clear that a lot of what she was doing was trying to make a case so if he tried to appeal

it would just be airtight. Right. And it would just be immediately sent back. But the problem is Trump's already been like, I'm probably going to have to pardon him. He's going to pardon him. Yeah, so it's like No, he's actually come out and said he won't pardon him because he thinks. Okay, now I trust him. Yeah. Guys, guys. What did he say? He said it. He said he wouldn't do it he said he's not

gonna pardon him because uh he doesn't want the smoke he said he's saying that made me want to run through a wall like even you'd be like no no he's not going to he said he's not gonna pardon him because he thinks that he can get off uh on an appeal well that's what we'll see because i think the other thing too was a lot of like he'd probably rather be in jail for the interim than oh yeah yeah like legal analysts were saying like when everyone's like why wasn't it more if it was outside of like normal guidelines then stone would have a case in his appeal right okay but if she kept it to 40 like within the range and also tagged on all these other things then it would be like good luck.

But again, at the same time, yeah, sure, maybe 99% of the time an appeal that was like this, with a case like this that felt airtight would be rejected. You never know what this is. But Trump could wake up tomorrow and just be like, fuck it, pardon, pardon. Because he's learned he can do that. But he already said he wouldn't, Billy Wayne.

I know you're kidding, but every he can do that. But he already said he wouldn't, Billy Wayne. I know you're kidding, but every time you do that, it does like there's a part of me that's like, stop. Shut the fuck up. He's saying that. He keeps falling for the pump fake. All right. It's like every time I'm like, ah, I'm off my feet again. Now he went right around me.

I drew the foul. I kicked him that time. All right. Let's take another break. We'll be right back. I drew the foul I kicked him that time alright let's take another break we'll be right back I've been thinking about you I want you back in my life it's too late for that I have a proposal for you

And the Browns ares uh are this story the browns cleveland browns uh so they actually want to cheer from yeah no it does i mean like so we've had uh stories that have kind of become national narratives like the b Red Sox have a curse and they can't win a championship, but the Browns are like a whole new level of hapless that is no longer –

like it's not fun. Nobody's buying in. If it was a TV show, you'd be like, what are you guys doing? Right. This is just mean. Yeah. It's a mean show. So they're –

They didn't have a good season this last year? No, they were supposed to. Didn't they? I remember going into it, they had, like, great receivers. They had a quarterback. Wasn't that the whole formula? They did have a quarterback. They bumped up a lot of commercials.

Right. Their quarterback had a lot of commercials coming off a rookie season that people thought – That's Baker Mayfield. Where he didn't die. Right. And so people were like, he's pretty good. He's the next Joe Mantegna.

And then when people had a chance to just kind of watch a little tape on him, he just... Hot house flower. He's fine. Oh, wow. He's fine. He's a fine quarterback. But nowhere near what maybe people thought.

Was he a Heisman winner? Well, that's... He was, yeah. They got destroyed the first game, and the Titans were like, yo, we were in the playoffs. Right. That was like one of their players just kept saying, he's like, hey, fuck all y'all.

You kept talking about them. We were good last year. We're going to be good. We're going to be the same team. This is, fuck you guys. But anyways, part of the reason he sucked was he had a bad offensive line and he just wasn't good making split second decisions, which you kind of need to be in the NFL. But it's scary.

So one of their offensive tackles, that's offensive line, right? Yeah. So a gentleman by the name of Greg Robinson was pulled over with 157 pounds. No, no, no. He wasn't pulled over. Okay. All right. So explain this to me.

He was not pulled over. You have to go through a checkpoint. Okay. There are these checkpoints throughout the Southwest. I think there are some other places too, but like 100 miles from the borders. Okay. And it's a border crossing thing. But it doesn't move.

It's not like a pop-up. No, it's there. It's not like a DUI checkpoint. That he got popped at. Snoop got popped there. Willie got popped there. Army Hammer got's there. It's not like a DUI checkpoint. That he got popped at. Snoop got popped there. Willie got popped there. Army Hammer got popped there. Army Hammer?

Yes. Like several other people. Wait, when did Army Hammer get popped? It's the most famous drug trap in the United States of America. And he rolled up with 157 pounds. That had to be so loud. Just the smell of it. I know.

Can you imagine? Just the smell of it. And they said it was in duffel bags. I was like, oh, God. They didn't even seal it up. Damn. They found vacuum sealed black bags full of a green leafy substance. Okay, that loud.

23 mason jars, a can sealing machine, an electronic scale, and $3,100 cash. Okay. Okay, cool. So- Oh, so they were doing the- I just smoked, dude. They were doing the thing where they were trying to bring it from LA to Louisiana. Yeah.

Yeah. Because the markups. Yeah, that's the- Ugh. You can't do the Kessel running. But you don't drive that, you don't drive through the drug trap place. Yeah. Right. Trying to avoid that.

You take 40, and then you go down 25. There you go. And then you go down, then you hit 10. There you go. Past Houston, though. You want to get to the other side of Houston? Yeah, because they're looking for people doing this stupid shit. Right, because it feels like that's the most direct route because obviously California weed is coveted and you can sell it at a markup everywhere else in the country that doesn't have medical weed or recreational weed yet. You can get it in bulk for real cheap, too.

Yeah, especially because the market's deflated here because of recreational legalization. Wow. And then you want to take – And Trump's president like when obama was president it wasn't the drug trap anymore because they diverted federal funds from that county because they were just this little sheriff was doing that and just right picking people off and he was he was letting a lot of people go but famous people he would arrest and stuff yeah right and then and i know they stopped funding it because i was driving through there right after obama got elected with some part what and i saw the sign i was like is that the thing

from this and then i googled it and was like it is but someone had updated the wikipedia be like don't worry though since obama so i was like driving and reading like okay cool i don't have to take a back road so i just went through it it. But since Dingbat's president, it's back again. So don't drive through there. I mean, was it worth it? This guy has made already $29 million from playing in the league. That's not about money. I know, right?

It's just the thrill of just doing some dirt. Well, and maybe he was spending a bunch of time in Louisiana. So this happened to a friend of mine when we were trying to bring a bunch of weed from- Not 157 pounds. No, not that much. But he did get busted with a bunch of weed going through Texas on his way from LA to DC. Because we just didn't- The weed in D.C. sucked. Yeah.

It doesn't anymore. No, it's good now. Yeah. I found out during the live show. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this was a long, long time ago. But you can fly from L.A. to New Orleans. Right.

With a bunch of weed in your bag. Yeah. But not 157 peas. That's true. That's not personal fucking use. I smoke more than that guy does, I guarantee you. I'm not smoking 157 pounds of anything. Yeah, that's a good point. I'm also trying to figure

out, just doing the quick maths, as somebody who's interested in the markets, what the return was going to be on that. What are you going to mark that up at? Let's say, bottom line, he's spending two. Two a pound? Two a pound. Okay.

And that's a decent price either way. Yeah. That's very generous. Yes, I am being very nice. You're saying he's buying them for two? Yes. Okay, generous. Then, let's say he's going to new orleans yeah

because he can't move 150 so i guarantee he can't no because he drives through fucking el paso that's why i guarantee you can't but it's gonna be at least double i would hope four to five for an hour 48 you so uh just it's not worth what happened yeah i'm just thinking of like even if you're not for pot yeah it ain't i wonder because like he was also with an like a former player too and i wonder how much of a like what their relationship was like they're like there's there. Right. Yeah. Weren't we taught, weren't you, uh,

on the show the last time when those dudes who like, uh, shot one of the witnesses in the Botham Jean case, they were caught like transporting weed. They said it was a weed deal gone wrong. Where? Going from Texas to Louisiana again. I don't know if I was here for that. I know we've discussed the Texas to Louisiana weed connection before.

It is. Good. It's just cocaine now. I don't think anyone, except for this dude, is moving that much pot because there's no reason to. It's too much on the line. It's just everywhere, too. Gets you some seeds, you know what I mean? That's another the line. It's just everywhere, too. Gets you some seeds,

you know what I mean? That's another crazy thing. It's like you can just... Just grow. Fuck, if you've got $29 million, you hire a dude who grows your weed for you. Yeah.

Get a trailer. Bury it under the ground if you want to be super cool about it and just blow that trailer out. I bet when the Browns front office heard about it, they were just like, of course. Of course.

Why always us? Yeah, he is. Well, maybe if he had had some quarter pounder scented candles in his car, the cops wouldn't have been so suspicious. Just to throw the dogs off the trail? Yeah. Because that is something that McDonald's is

selling. So it's one candle per ingredient. dogs off the trail. Yeah, yeah. Because that is something that McDonald's is selling to. So it's one candle per ingredient. But it's part of a fan pack. Yeah. It's if you like, if you are, which is odd too, we're talking about- We called it a fat pack. Yeah. But if you like a cuper, as we call it in the streets, a cuapo, or a quarter pounder

with cheese, or a quarter pound, four ounces. They have like a whole new way, like this whole kit. So it's mittens. There's a t-shirt, a calendar. Everything you say makes me sadder. And every, dude, the candle pack is really wild though. Like what are we looking at? Like beef flavor candle, pickle flavor candle, mustard, bun. Bun.

Have you guys watched McMillions? Bun flavored. Yeah. Have you been watching that? candle, mustard, bun. Bun. Have you guys watched McMillions? What is the bun flavored? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you been watching that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm loving it. Yeah, I'm an Ed Up to an I'm an. There you go.

Third episode. But they said when they were like, when we ran the contest, their revenue went up 40%. Yeah. So I was like, as soon as you said this, I was like, this is one of those things where they figure out if we put a fat candle on the thing, our revenue will go up.

Right. Just people will come buy our same stuff because there's a thing there they like. We need such little excuse to go just eat McDonald's that we're just like oh yeah if taco bell came out with like a maxi melt fan pack i'd be like i'd fucking ruin myself financially the second the second that you can be like oh this is actually an investment going to mcdonald's that's when you that's all we need 40% more. 40% more spent.

That is wild. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. That's unbelievable. Yeah, the guy from the place, he was like, so they just started doing the content. Anytime they needed to jack up the revenue, they'd be like, roll in a monopoly.

Roll in. You dangle two Dodge Vipers in front of the country, and you got 40% spike in the sales. That's shit in their mouth. Like how much more just from a revenue perspective is that? That's like billions, right? Mick billions. Yeah, Mick billions.

It's like stupid. All right. And then finally, I want to talk about the Lovers and Friends concert. I did not know about this. I'm headlining that. Oh, are you? Hell yeah, man. Yeah, I'm going to headline it.

Well, congratulations. You and Lauryn Hill, huh? She might. I don not know about this. I'm headlining that. Oh, are you? Hell yeah, man. Yeah, I'm on a headline. Well, congratulations. You and Lauryn Hill, huh? She might. I don't know. Yeah, knowing her, if you've ever fucking attempted to see Lauryn Hill in concert, you were probably waiting or the show was canceled. So, Miles, tell me what the Lovers and Friends concert is. Dude, it is probably one of the, for someone who is born in the 80s and loves R&B and hip hop from the

late 90s into the early 2000s, this has by far one of the most stacked lineups. Yeah. I can't even believe the words I'm going to read out loud of this lineup. When I saw it, it's a joke. Here we go. Lauryn Hill, Usher, Ludacris, Lil Jon, TLC. I'm not going to say, like, when I saw it, it is, like, it's a joke. Here we go. Lauren Hill, Usher, Ludacris, Lil Jon, TLC. I'm not going to say, okay, there's Jhene Aiko, Megan Thee Stallion. They're, like, no. Nelly, Sean Paul, T-Pain, Lil' Kim, Brandi, Monica, Ja Rule, and Fat Joe. SWV, Twista, Trick Daddy, Genuine, Drew Hill, Next, 112, Mario, Foxy Brown, Eve, Trina, Tweet, Oh My, Amory, White Gang, who else?

Mace, Camron, Mike Jones, Montel Jordan, Umi, John B, Baby Bash, Frankie J, and Nina Sky. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. They got Nina Sky even? Wait, what was Nina Sky? They had that song. Oh, that was the song? Or is that LumiD? Wait, what was Nina Sky? They had that song. Oh, that was the song? Or is that Loomy D?

No, they did. Move your body. Remember that one? Mm-hmm. They were twins, I believe. I hope they were twins. Just so many 40-year-olds fingering each other. What's going to be going on?

I can... My God, this looks like a CD I burnt from 2002. Yeah. Now, there were some reports that this might be a little bit like Woodstock 2020 or Woodstock 2019

or 50th anniversary, whatever the one that just completely imploded. Right. Or a fire festival where I was like- Oh, okay. I was like, that didn't happen, I don't think. Yeah, no, it didn't. It just fell apart because they couldn't pay everybody. Yeah, and they were like, yeah, Miley Cyrus, everybody.

Oh, you guys still want to come? Right. Be good exposure. Right. Now we're doing all right. Yeah. Good exposure. I sold out Madison Square Garden.

Right. So there were some questions about whether people were going to actually get paid, but the checks are starting to clear, so it looks like it will still happen. I have to go. That's good. You're definitely going to go? Just this lineup is ridiculous. I cannot believe.

Can I interrupt? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I know you're going to go, and I'm not trying to spoil it. Yeah, that's fine. It's unspoilable. Because it is going to be fun, and I do think it is unspoilable. Also, sounds by Selection, great. See?

But here's, they're not, it's not 1997. Oh, I know. I've been to shows where the old washed artists go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, it's not. Oh, yeah. And I don't think shows where the old washed artists go. Okay, is not. Oh, yeah. And I don't think these guys are Chubby Checker level performers because I've seen him lately, and he's still going at it.

If Mike Jones is not completely on slow motion from permethazine, then it's a success. Okay. Yeah. Okay, you seem aware of what might happen. Oh, yeah. Look, as someone who's a fan of this very specific era, every year we get away from their last hit and I see a show,

you see a little bit of the life loop. There's less edge on that face and more around. Are they more realistic about the songs they should be playing? I don't know. I saw Sean Paul two years ago. Fantastic. Did he play the hits? Oh, yes. No, I don't know. I saw Sean Paul two years ago. Fantastic. Did he play the hits? Oh, yes.

No, I think they know. Yeah. I think whoever their agent is. That's what I'm hoping. You guys like their lifestyle, right? Right. Let's do country grammar to open and close. What I'm going to need from you is a medley.

The last 25 minutes. Get out of here. All right. E-I-E-I on three. E-I-E-I. Get out of here. All right. EIEI on three. EIEI, uh-oh. Uh-oh. What's popping tonight? Billy Wayne,

it has been a pleasure having you as always. Where can people find you? Billy Wayne Davis. Just Google Billy Wayne Davis and I'm on probably whatever platform you prefer. Do it.

And is there a tweet or some other active social media you've been enjoying? I liked. It's from Kenny Keel, who's a Mad Magazine artist. He's very funny. And he said, saw Andre 3000 trending and got scared he was on The Masked Singer. Why was Andre 3000 trending? I don't know know I never found out

that tweet is all I wanted to know about hell yeah Miles where can people find you and what's a tweet you've been enjoying you can find me

on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey and also my other show 420 Day Fiance talking about

90 Day Fiance you know great show you guys come see me in Portland next Thursday at the Siren Theater in Portland, Oregon. Get there. Do it. It's 830. Tickets available at bwdtour.com.

Yeah, all the Zeitgang that pulled up. Go. Yes. See him. I love when the Zeitgang, this is the smartest crowds when they're there. Man, they're polyglots, too. Shout out Homegirls, speaking Japanese to me. Okay, some tweets I like.

So Jennifer Rubin, who's like an opinion writer, conservative at the Washington Post, she tweeted. So this is one thing about the debate we didn't get to. The people's takes on Elizabeth Warren's performance. There was one set of people that would either just be like, ah, yeah, Biden really didn't do well tonight or saying, I don't know, that wasn't a good look for Elizabeth Warren. There are people saying like, you know, I can just see the GOP cutting that up into ads and using that against her. Okay, sure.

Cool. Well, it's again that like mainstream media sort of like strategic horse racery, like covering of the of constant conflict. When if you just really know, it's like, yeah, man, she fucking beat the brakes off Mike Bloomberg. Right. Great. Crippled the billionaire in the race. And I think that was very necessary for all all candidates involved. So she tweeted, Jennifer Rubin tweeted, mean and angry. Warren is not a good look.

And then Jill Filipovich like sort of quote tweeted that she's like our writer and lawyer. She said, fiery, passionate women are basically human Rorschach tests. Your reaction to them tells you a lot more about you than about them. Another one is from Ellery Smith at Ellery Smith. Remembering fondly the time not too long ago when a girl DM to me asking if I needed an assistant and I had to tell her I was also applying to assistant jobs. So real. Okay. The thing about that, and I liked that tweet, but the thing about that is most people in

LA would have accepted that. Yeah. No, 100%. Yeah. Oh, and I'm not paying you. Yeah, I'm not paying you, but you can be my assistant while I am an assistant and then make them do the work of the assistant. Oh, assistant centipede? Uh-huh.

Wow. That would definitely be the response of many a person in LA. Right, right. I'm not a centipede. And then one more from Blair Saki at Blair Saki. Y'all know who it is. She said, okay, so what if you were married and you have to take a huge shit? Do you just shit a huge shit out of your ass

and then your husband just knows about it? I replied to this. I replied to this. What'd you say? And I said, some like to do it while I'm in the goddamn shower. Yeah. Oh, wow.

It happens. It happens. It's just part of life. That's fucked up. It just becomes a, it's they have to poop of life. That's fucked up. It just becomes a... They have to poop. Yeah. Doors stop closing at a certain point.

Yes, so you just have to, and then you're in the shower, and they are comfortable, and then you're like, well, this isn't the best shower I've ever had. Can I get a courtesy flush? No. Because with all the steam in the air, it's like I'm experiencing a fart in 4D. You can taste it.

Yeah. You can chew on it. You just gotta get out of the shower. Couple tweets from the debate. Again, a couple days old, but still too good not to mention. Louis Vertel tweeted, I wouldn't mind if Elizabeth Warren gestured at Pete Buttigieg and called him

my sneaky fucking nephew over here. My sneaky fucking nephew over here that is perfect yeah uh and then uh pokey pop what a pity on you tweeted for someone who hates socialism bloomberg sure loves getting publicly owned hey oh boom i. Oh, boy. Boom. I bet that hurt him. Yeah. Yeah, he heard about that one probably. I wonder how many homeless dudes he paid to let him punch him after that last night. Right.

Oh, boy. That's just an accurate joke. Yeah. That's just an accurate joke. That is just accurate. I was too busy doing the math in my head. I didn't get laughed because it was just sad sorry everybody

we're so real the poor homeless people of Reno? Is that where that was? somebody else tweeted anyways you can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien you can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist we're at The Daily Zeitgeist
