Kind of looks like Greta Thunberg. Thunberg. Thunberg. Thank you. Thank you. Everyone says it right. Thunberg. I think it's even like Thunberry, like Thunberry.

No, I saw- You're asking too much. Come on. You're asking a bit too much now. That's way too- I think it's wild thornberry. If it's any other culture but Swedish, I'll put more effort into trying to pronounce it. But for now, Thunberg is as much as you're gonna tell. I feel like you're just gonna keep adding syllables until you... No, it's actually Thunberg.

Because I remember there was an Arsenal player, Swedish player named Freddie. I thought his name was Freddie Youngberg and then not Youngberg, the rapper. But yeah, then I met a Swedish person. I was like, oh yeah, I like Freddie Youngberg. They're like, oh, Freddie Youngberg. And I'm like, oh, okay, y'all don't fuck with that hard R. This is an iHeart Podcast.

What's up? How are y'all? I got Bart in my lap. I know this is an audio recording, but. Wow, look at Bart. For all the listeners at home, imagine a giant fucking beast in my last night No, I can't tell you everything for scale. Okay. Wow, how many pounds you talking 20 that 20 pounder?

I it's like this cat weighs as much as a Honda Civic. Oh shit. Okay with their They're measuring cars and Bart power now Things a fucking beast. How are things in Atlanta, Jaynie? A bit tense. Yeah, right. To be honest. Yeah.

What happened? Well, I mean a few things. There's a lot going on in the world right now, which you guys do a fantastic job of covering each day. I think that, well, for those that don't know, there's an ongoing project in Atlanta called Cop City. Cop City. It's actually the actual name is something like the Center for Social Justice,

which is a hilariously like woke name that they gave up, but it's basically like a nuke town style training ground for cops to practice, like IDF soldier techniques on citizens. Yeah. And there's been a long brewing like protest movement against it for, for a while now, I feel like outside of Atlanta, this is something that's gone fairly under reported, but it's open now. And there's just been a lot of kind of, I don't know, with all the protests and stuff,

there's been some tense situations with the public and the police. And there's another faction known as the Georgia State Patrol, which is just a fucking gang of like Mad Max style criminals that we got one of those and rove the streets of Georgia. Yeah, imagine Mad Max, but everyone has like diabetes like, like, like instead of like a bunch of like roided out Aussies, it's a bunch of like people that get fed like medicine commercials, uh, while watching Fox news, like it's like the, the Georgia TV dinner brigade. Yeah. It's a perfect combo.

It's a get off me. You whore. Um, sorry, that was, that was towards the beast. And yeah, to the listeners, there's actually no cat in the people who are only listening, there's Janie's tripping. Me and Carmen went to the, uh, the like anti ice protest, um, recently and, uh, dude, shots out to, uh, my normal, my normal co-host Carmen Lorent for being

so, dude, this girl wants to get arrested. It's fucking cool. Like we went there and I remember saying like, look, we, I can only stay till like, it gets dark. I can't really risk anything. Like the second like we get to the protest, she's got this giant like, fuck, I sign. Like this like little trans girl weighs like 90 pounds soaking wet is just like immediately like going up to where the cops are.

It's like, fuck you. I fucking hate you. Everyone here fucking hates you. It's like, fuck you. I fucking hate you. Everyone here fucking hates you. And we're like, all right. Yeah. I mean, you're even like, OK, we did it. We did it.

We did it, Carmen. But I don't have the money to bail you out. So. Right. But shouts out to her. I love her resolve. Yeah. The resolve of a white woman who's never been arrested,

don't underestimate it. Do not underestimate a white woman who does never been arrested, don't underestimate it. Do not underestimate a white woman who does not have a DUI on her record. That's why I'm like, that was heartening about the all the no kings protests. I'm like, see, you need more of these white people out here because it's like a nightclub, right? If the ratios are good, like there are more white people than people of color. You can do a lot more. You can make a lot more of a statement. The police will wait a little bit longer before getting violent.

Look at what happened to the nightclub in centers. You know, there was only one white girl there and she ruined it for everyone. And they went after her first to get her out of there. Yeah, exactly. You got like a 60-40 ratio. You know, you can get away with some more stuff. Like you can do like the 2020 thing of like putting like a chain of white

people in front to take the rubber bullets and all that. Yeah. But it was very interesting seeing like, cause I, I haven't been to a protest in a while, shamefully. So, but, uh, you know, seeing all the like videos of like oh they're they're burning down waymos And they're they're doing all this and like I get there and there's like a lot of people but it's like It's like a drum circle and like people like in a microphone about like, you know, like yeah how

Immigrants are like people too and it's like oh, this is like just like a sweet. Oh, you mean violence Janie? Yeah Oh, this is like just like a sweet like you mean violence, Janie. Yeah It was like the only like risk of violence I'm like, I mean, I'm probably preaching to the choir here but like the only risk of violence is when like the cops like No, you can't march. You can't do that. You can't do things that like we know you fucking are 100% allowed to do but I need to compensate for for my lack of power I have in my personal life. Imagining a reporter touching his partner, you know? Yeah.

You fucking touched my partner, dude? What? I live in the South. I've seen what y'all let happen in front of abortion clinics. Like, you know, like I, I, I, I, I, I know that there's a different standards that are being set right now.

So, so don't like bullshit me on that. And when Georgia state patrol shows up to it's like, that was when I got activated because I hate these motherfuckers so much as I was like, your hats are stupid. All of you look like the weird dumb guys from spy kids. Like, Oh, you should look up the Georgia state patrol. They all wear like, Oh yeah. I don't know what the kind of hat is. It's like it's kind of like a cowboy hat.

The kind of thing. Yeah, it's like the flattest of brims. Yeah, cowboy hat thing. It's like this might be good if you're like panning for gold. I don't know what use you're getting out of this. Just commit to the full Vivian Westwood hat that Pharrell used to wear. That's basically the shrunken down Vivian Westwood hat. I think that they should have like you know if they're gonna have guns too they should have like an old-timey like

pistol revolvers you know do maybe a full kind of cowboy thing like like these guys think like the worst thing about them is that they act like they're fucking like in an action movie all the time. They got like some teenager killed in the middle of little five points because they were like, they were like chasing down like drunk driver and they like forced a horrific accident that like took someone's life. Yeah. They've done studies and like just letting people go is way like that.

Those car chase got like, yeah, you know what? Got the car makes model. You've got Atlanta is the most. This is kind of crazy to me. But from what I've read, Atlanta is the most surveilled city you have in the country. Like, yeah, like you're gonna get a red light. Like, why couldn't it work for fucking drug driver and the country. Like, yeah. Like, sure, we're gonna get them. The shit works for running a red light. Yeah. Like, why couldn't it work for a fucking drunk driver and just, you know, stay behind them, tail them at a safe distance, but don't fucking run people down.

If I'm still getting emails from when I was like driving like out of New Jersey last year about like, oh, you weren't in the lane where you pay the $3. Now you pay $300. It's like, first of all, I'm not going to do that. Second of all, how did you even find me? What the fuck? Oh yeah, we got like plate readers everywhere. Like I didn't realize I was living in Minority Report. Jesus. The pre-crime, the pre-cogs saw you coming a mile away on the New Jersey turnpike. Exactly. All right. Let's, we're going to get to know you on the New Jersey turnpike. Yeah, exactly. All right.

Let's, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about. Big news, plot twist, Elon Musk is not on drugs. Case closed on that one. We'll talk about how Donald Trump is throwing a couple of people from his administration under the bus, specifically with regards to that bad parade, among other things. Yeah.

It was a snooze bus. He's like, why were the vibes not right? Yeah. I don't know. Who knows? And then we have one trick that will have billionaires eating out of your hand, thanks to this New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin. Basically, you just create a blog where you're like, they should have all

the power and apparently that works. They're like, this guy's fucking smart. Someone should give him a lot of money. Uh, we'll talk about the pizza index, the pizza meter, you know, pizza tell pizza tell, but I don't know. Uh, like people paying attention to pizza isizient is what they're calling it. Pizza intelligence, where people look at when pizzas are being ordered and they can tell that some massive global catastrophe is about to happen, as they did with America, who is apparently like,

we're as surprised as anyone that Israel attacked Iran, but the pizza ordering records would beg to say otherwise. Yeah. We'll talk about all that plenty more. But first, Jayne, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I got into a conversation with a friend yesterday before we were like about to play a show where she's a little bit older than me and she remembers like only like early internet things and she brought up a Mr. Tourette's guy who um I'm not sure the average age of your listener face but I'm sure people around like my age might recall the the Tourette's guy. I do remember this guy.

Tourette's guy died, and she was like, no, that was a hoax. So I had to Google furiously. I was like, did Tourette's guy fucking die or not? Yeah. And? And it turns out for the past 15 years, I've been duped. Tourette's guy, I don't know if he's alive right now, but he faked his fucking death.

The Tourette's guy was alive this whole time. He faked his death to get out of making juicy content for us, and I think that's a crime, quite frankly. So he did it just to be like, get off my back, stop asking for new videos. Well, do you guys know who the Tourette's guy is? I remember the guy who'd wear the neck brace. Yeah.

Now that I'm seeing the videos. The neck brace would be like screaming shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bob Saget, stuff like that. That ain't Mickey Mouse, that's tit dirt, you know, classics like that. And you know, looking back, like a lot of old internet stuff hasn't really aged well. But the idea of just like, you know, some 40 year old guy in a neck brace,

like screaming random curse words. Screaming tit-dirt. It's still kind of funny. Like, I think if I saw that for the first time today, like seeing a guy on the phone saying like, yeah, I bought your Colgate toothpaste, the one with Tartar control, and it made me feel like a piece of shit.

Like, yeah, that's pretty good. So wild. The way he faked his death was just posting on his website that he died. And people are like, damn, this is so this is the most 2007 shit ever where people just see a website in 2007. Go, damn, so if it's on the website, then he is verifiably. We don't even know his full name there on the national internet for all to see. The pre-square space world, you could just,

like fake news could just proliferate like wildfire in a pre-geo-guess-er world where you can just find some like guy on TikTok to be like, oh, your house is in Chicago at this street. Like you could just find you we were blind. You know, we had no idea. Rift because in the death announcement, because someone I'm looking at a post from 2007, go damn, he died.

It says in about a week, we'll be putting the videos back up. We thought about taking the site down for good, but Danny's videos are already all over the internet. We felt that we could do some good with the site. We'll be releasing all the videos along with one last new video in a high quality DVD format in memory of Danny. This DVD will be free to download, but you will also be able to purchase a physical copy. All proceeds from the DVD will go to Danny's family.

Danny's. Wow. I mean, damn, maybe. Wow. That was a good growth. Maybe I should fake my death, sell some records. Wait, so how did you figure out that Danny faked the death? Maybe I should fake my death, sell some records. Wait, so how did you figure out that Danny faked the death?

They started posting, they posted like new videos in like 2011 that like I think flopped, you know, the public wasn't as in need for, you know, it was 2011. It was Obama era optimism. We don't need this guy screening repulsive curse words on my YouTube feed anymore. We were laughing at episodes of intervention then. That's what we've done. Yeah, right. Yeah, we have Tauley on South Park. We have Smosh, you know. We have epic rap battles of history now. YouTube has moved on from Tourette's Guy. Right. Just had this vision of like a documentary

with somebody being like, like Mark Maron being like, Tourette's Guy was like a voice of anger rising up from the street. Yeah. You know? Like he was expressing something that was there during the Bush administration that just wasn't there when Obama came along.

Right. Yeah. He broke all the rules. It's also like- Supervisors or victors that he broke all the rules. It's such a like early like YouTube thing to be like, yeah, this is how Tourette's works. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Also, yeah, probably Abe List.

I'm pretty sure I remember him saying things that would not be acceptable today. I'll say that's probably the one thing about it that's not aged well is, uh, it's, it's Tourette's guy didn't have the most wise and commentary on the disability. The disabled. And this was also the era where people were just like flagrantly pretending to have like different maladies or something or like, remember the one lady who was scamming when she said she couldn't walk normal and shit. And then they caught her like in her private life and she's like,

Oh yeah, I'm cured. I'm cured. She verbal kinted it. Yeah. People do that now to a genuinely horrific degree. Truen on had an amazing episode about how like there's this trend of like people on Tik Tok, like saying that they have like certain kind of like anxiety. A very popular one is saying you have DID and saying you have like all of these different

like alters and stuff. And it's like, today I'm Melissa, I'm a normal librarian. Sometimes Philip the hungry magician comes out and it's like, it's all, it's fake. And it's like, DID like. That's a theater kid who never got cast in a production. That's what that is. Yeah, I mean, it's this, I'm like, yeah, he like, that's a theater kid who'd ever got cast in a production. That's what that is. Yeah.

I mean, it's this honestly, a similar level of like misunderstanding what like it's, it's like understanding, uh, mental disabilities in the same way that like a movie from the seventies would it's like, it's like, like psycho or like dress to kill or like something like that. It's, it's both of those are also evil tranny movies But I guess maybe maybe there's something there, too. We got a long way to go Still we're not that far from Tourette's guy. So shout out to Danny. I hope I hope you've overcome your maladies Yeah, and then that sort of thing was used to make it seem like

the vaccine was dangerous. So it had to use. Oh my God. Yeah, there is a right-wing version of that too. I got the vaccine shakes. Yeah. Yeah, wow. I made a TikTok when I was like still making TikToks

where I was like, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, psss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss I was like, when my boyfriend was like, babe, is it the vaccine shakes? I was like, no, I'm just trying to get this cat to come to me. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? You know, every time I come on here, this is the one that that that stun locks me. But I know it says a lot about personalities when I have difficulty saying things are underrated too because I don't know if this is your case.

I'm just like, man, I know a ton of shit that's overrated. Yeah, well, actually the funny thing is I misunderstood the question. I had a trouble finding something overrated. Oh, wow. Underrated I had a few answers for. But I think the one I want to lead with is the Instagram Reels algorithm, because far be it for me to ever give credit to Mark Kuckerberg or whatever.

But the Instagram Reels algorithm is different from the TikTok algorithm in this one specific way where every few like months or so I find a new creature that I was like unfamiliar with or didn't pay attention to. The last few months it was hyraxes. Are you guys familiar with hyraxes? Hyraxes? That sounds like a mythical creature from the universe of Keenang. I would love if you could look a high racks video Perhaps play the the mystical noises they make they are I forgot the actual genus, but they they look like rodents Yeah, I'll go rune pigs. They look like little rodents. Wait, where's they are actually sounds? Okay, this lady is talking I'm not hearing the high racks voice. Just if you type in high racks a wah wah This lady is talking. I'm not hearing the high racks voice. Just if you type in high racks, oh, wow. Ah, ah

You'll get to hear their beautiful Wawa, it's at a while. I'm trying to get a hoagie at a while. Wow. Look look up. Look up the oh, wow. Oh That's that shit Okay, shut up the hyrax. I love that there's these little creatures that live like mostly I think in like the Middle East and like North Africa that hyraxes are in the Bible, dude. Like they're old as shit. They've been on this planet forever and I never fucking heard of them. And I love that they scream. They scream like Dffy-duh. Yeah, me as a noise enjoyer, as someone who loves abrasive sounds,

I love that they make these fucked up little screams. It's beautiful to me. It looks like if I had like a dachshund and a squirrel. Yeah, but they're actually, their closest animal relatives are elephants and hippopotamuses because those funny little incisors that they got are not actually teeth they are tusks so they are in the like tusk family of animals which is so cool okay and i learned all this about hyraxes only to be immediately just like i'm done playing with you. The second the Instagram feed started showing me prairie dogs.

Oh, yeah. Prairie dogs are fun. Prairie dogs. I'd never paid attention to these little guys before. Can I share this little video in the chat real quick? Sure. They also, I think because hyraxes make a funny noise, they were like, oh, this bitch likes funny little noises. You like funny little noise? Um, but watch.

Oh, oh, whoa. What? Right. That's the. Jamie, run that back. Well, one more time. Here we go. What the f- That sounds like a fucking, like a bio weapon. That's what they sound like. That's what they do all day.

That sounds like something that should be coming out of a UFO that's like making someone's head explode or like bringing them like levitating up into the sky. Yeah. Or like a like a laser gun from like a 50s. Yeah. Yeah. Like this is what Havana syndrome probably sounds like.

That's right. You know what I mean? Well, that is like they found out that the CIA agents that were like, what the fuck is this? This is like some unnatural sound we never heard before. We recorded it and it was fucking crickets that were just like a type of cricket that hadn't heard before. Not used to.

I've been stationed in the middle of Kansas for six years. Am I fucking going crazy, dude? How is the Cuban military getting me out here? I'm losing my mind. And it's just these cute, cute twitchy little creatures that squeak. So shouts out to Prairie Dogs. I cannot wait for what the Instagram Reels platform, what fucked up little creature they're going to show me next. I hope it's something good.

Prairie dogs have a language that's more advanced. This is from Reddit. I heard this on an episode of Radio Lab, so that's why I went looking for it. On Reddit, they're saying, prairie dogs have a language that's more advanced than any other animal language that's been decoded. Obviously not counting humans.

I don't know, maybe though. Researchers found that their calls conveyed descriptive details like distinguishing between a wide variety of animals, including coyotes, domestic dogs and humans. Even what color a human is wearing. They ran an experiment where like they would be like, here comes the guy in yellow. Here comes the guy comes out asshole with a very dogs that dress that you couldn't figure out what color it was. They all die. Yeah.

They squeak and just like walk everywhere. I'm imagining Amy Adams in Arrival and she walks up to the like the window and just like a little prairie dog is like twitching. She's like, it's saying it wants to come home. So we did underrate it. Yeah. Well, something we did underrate. Yeah. Something you think is overrated. Okay.

So this is inspired by a recent appearance, me and my boyfriend did on our friend's podcast recently rebranded to homey vulgaris because it used to be called the ain't shit show, but it had shit in the name and the abbreviation is ass. So they weren't getting the traction that they wanted. So they rebranded. Shout out to homie vulgaris you should have them on they're great. But I saw a personality test that morning and I knew I was going on their show so I gave that because they have a very interesting outlook on the world. And I wanted to find out if the axis, it was like a political axis, and it was like the X axis is like woke to chud, and the Y axis is like, is chud or acts chud?

So they ended up in like the top left quadrant, where they're very woke, but they act chud or ax chud. So they ended up in like the top left quadrant where they're very woke, but they act chud. And it made me realize this is the path forward. Right. This is what the democratic party needs. We need dark woke. Yeah. So wokeness is overrated.

But- Chud-ness. No, chudiness is still bad. But I think if you can, if you can speak the language, you can, you can overcome the, the obstacles in front of us. I think that like the right wing, they're calling it the soy right. You know, have you guys, have you guys, you seen this? You heard about that? Yeah, because they're the scolding ones, you know, they're the ones that are coming out. That's like y'all aren't defending Israel hard enough you're not

You shouldn't be buying this cuz they're woke that you shouldn't be watching these movies cuz they're woke and it's like Brother give me a fucking break. It's an exact mirror of like 2016 when it was like we have to reevaluate all of these old classic movies for probably, it's a repeat of like, the most important thing right now is not listening to Baby It's Cold Outside. And it's like, shut the fuck up. Like, I guess I get it, but like.

There are other things going on. Yeah, I think there's other things. The capacity for much worse things, yeah. Yeah, and I think if we can just put down all the kind of like scoldy annoyingness forever and just be like, yeah, no, you guys are cringe and we're making fun of you. Like it reminds me of when, what was it?

The conservatives are weird thing. Yeah, Tim Walsall. Like that was the biggest fucking bump that Kamala had. You know, that was- And then they phased it out. They were like, it's too popular. Yeah. It's mean.

It's too tough. Kamala. We're acting like chud. Well, maybe you should be a little bit more chud-like and maybe you should whisper to them a little bit. Maybe you should go on a Andrew Schultz podcast and talk about healthcare. I don't know.

Right, right. Like if these motherfuckers are willing to listen, just fucking talk to them. Like I don't know. Yeah, the left has the advantage that they're not the ones who are president. Like the people on the right who are supposed to be chuds or dark mega, they're having to be like the president fucking rules

Okay, it's cool that he threw himself a birthday party and more people should have showed up there and saying happy birthday Like it's like no, that's so my god I feel like I see so many of like the Rogan sect of like Trump supporters Slowly peeling off because they realize like it was easier to be like, yeah, man, fuck Joe Biden. Cause I like, you know, maybe Trump, whatever. But now they're like, bro, I'm not about to fucking be like this shit's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's scoldiness. They're being like, you're not supporting the president hard enough because if the president is saying this and you're being skeptical, then like it's there's scolding them. And it's like people, I don't care what side of the political party you're on.

They don't like to be scolded. Like, I don't think people want to be like ignorant inherently. So I do think there's a way to like reach people and like, like show people a new perspective, but you can't do it through this like scoldy bullshit. And I'm sorry if this is a tangent, but like, did y'all see Cash Patel on Rogan? Yeah. Yes, dude. That goes like, hand in glove with like-

He fucking noped his way out of that whole conversation. Yeah. Yeah, with what you were just saying about how like, like his whole thing about being like, Joe, listen, come on. Yeah. If anyone's not gonna bullshit you, Joe, it's gonna be me.

It's me, the head of you Joe, it's gonna be me Junior yeah, yeah, and we should not be afraid to make fun of his fucked up fly looking at like he looks like Jeff Goldblum like almost at the full transformation He's like a third of a way to a Cronenbeast. And I don't wanna hear Libs out here being like, well, your cross-eyed friends might, your fucked up cross-eyed fly friends might hear this. Cash Mattel might not hear you making fun of him,

but your bug-eyed freak, blood-borne villain looking friend might. It's like, you know what? If my friend who's bug-eyed freak, blood-borne villain-looking friend might. It's like, you know what? If my friend who's bug-eyed gets upset about this, I'm sorry, dog. I might have to cut you off for a minute. Like, I got to make fun of Casper Towns. Yeah.

It's just too perfect that like the person who's like the face of, who's at the chair of who's at the the chair of untrustworthiness also just looks incredibly untrustworthy. Tell me because I didn't watch it. It's actually the I was saving the that Rogan episode. I usually catch them right away but then when I was like too delicious, I need to save it for a time where I can really sit with it. He came on and was just like,

what the thing, the thing that happened was this was when Elon and them were beef and Trump were beefing. And he said, yo, he's in the Epstein files. Right. And so this, it happens while Cash Mattel is in the suit and he's like, yo, pull this up. And he goes, and so Rogan's just reading and he goes, damn, what do you think about that, man? So he goes, yeah, he goes, so does he have the Epstein files? how would he know and he's guys? Ah, dude, I don't want anything. I'm not doing anything to do with that right now I just got yeah, and and he says he says some amazing stuff where he's like, yeah. Look there's nothing

New in there Epstein they have an amazing conversation about Epstein killing himself there Epstein they have an amazing conversation about Epstein killing himself which is just crazy because like that's the like Joe Rogan like for all his faults he usually has a few things that like he won't budge on you know like right like legalizing we know right or yes like killing himself like how cool would it be to get a cattle prod up your ass until you kill him? Yeah, monkeys beating you up. Trans women in sports is another one. Pumping a stool on stage. Yeah, there's a few things that like... There's only 200 real stand-up comics in the world.

No, there's 50. There's only actually 50 real stand-up comics in the world, and he's one of them. Yeah, he's very, um, he's very notorious for just kind of like chameleoning with his guests. Yeah. Which is why he ended up having such a right-wing turn, you know? Yeah. But even then, like, even when he had, like, right-wing guests, if Steven Crowder came on and was like, weed is evil, he'd be like, no, man, that's some bullshit. Let me tell you what, it comes from the ground and it's beautiful. Yeah, it's from Earth.

Is Earth fucked up? No. So it's just like crazy seeing this guy who's like, I don't know, his whole thing has been like, Epstein definitely didn't kill himself. I watched this documentary and I mean, he's right. Like, I'm not going to say he's wrong, broken clocks, whatever. But yeah, he's just sitting in front of the director of the FBI and the director, like the director of the FBI is like, look, I've seen, didn't kill

himself, the cameras weren't working. The guards were sleepy. The there are some small bean guards that had anxiety and they had to delete the footage or whatever. It's like, this is ridiculous that you are not pushing back on the slide. Yeah. Well, especially before he became the head of the FBI. He was loudly screaming.

He's like, this is freaky. I don't know if he killed himself. And so he was like, he was a big conspiracy guy. That was like how he cut his teeth before becoming the head of the FBI. And the thing is, like, and I feel like this also is a lane for, you know, Democrats, left- feel like this also is a lane for, you know, Democrats, left-wing people to kind of push through, because if you go to the comments on that video, they're not buying it.

Like, like the even like Joe Rogan's fans are like, bro. But are they, are they willing to put the Clintons down? You know what I mean? If they go there and they're like, well, you know, this list, I think touches a lot more people than you're ready for. Yeah. It's like and they're like, well, you know, this list, I think, touches a lot more people than we're ready for. Yeah. It's like, are they ready for that? I think that's why the Democrats don't have a way forward is because, like, I mean, Bill

Clinton, the Clintons are heavily all over the Epstein stuff. And if they wanted to, like, seize on that demographic, they would have to stop wheeling Bill Clinton out to Dearborn, Missouri or Dearborn, Michigan to be like, it's Judea and Samaria. They still think that the Clintons are like, the most unpopular people on the fucking planet are to some degree, politically viable to them and they're not. It's crazy. It's the same reason like Kamala lost, you know,

it's like Joe Biden, like they weren't willing to just like, you know, I don't know. Yeah, they're not willing to rock the boat. So yeah. Yeah, exactly. And they're not willing to rock the boat on people that are just deeply fucking unpopular. Yeah, exactly.

And again, it's the wave right now. now rocking the boat is the wave and y'all are missing it. Oh my gosh, slosh it back and forth, baby. Yeah, plow into the iceberg. Let's go. Like, like, get real, dude. Like, oh, all right. Let's let's take a quick break.

We'll come back and we'll talk about Elon Musk. Definitely not on drugs. We'll be right back. Welcome to the You vs You podcast.

I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders. I was calling about the murder of my husband at the cold case. I have never found her and it haunts me to this day. The murderer is still out there. Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned

as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking. Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother. She was still somebody's daughter. She was still somebody's sister. There's so many questions that we've never gotten any kind of answers for.

If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. Listen to Hell and Gone Murder Line on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happens when we come face to face with death? My truck was blown up by a 20 pound anti-tank mine. My parachute did not deploy. I was kidnapped by a drug cartel.

I just remember everything getting dark. I'm dying. We step beyond the edge of what we know. To open our consciousness to something more than just what's in that Western box. And return. I clinically died. The heart stopped beating. Which I was dead for 11.5 minutes.

My name is Dan Bush. My mission is simple, to find, explore, and share these stories. I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor. You're strongest when you're the most vulnerable. To remind us what it means to be alive. Not just that I was the guy that cut his arm off, but I'm the guy who is smiling when he cut his arm off. Alive Again, a podcast about the fragility of life,

the strength of the human spirit, and what it means to truly live Listen to alive again on the iHeart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you listen to your favorite shows And we're back and all right, so real quick Elon Musk not on drugs. He has tests to show it and he shared it. There's like a red arrow on the test. So I can't really read it. As someone who's been on probation

for most of my teenage years, you can be on a lot of drugs and pass a drug test, baby. Trust me. Yeah, I mean, this guy, he basically posted just a screen cap of a drug test and he's just like, and just posted LOL. You know what I mean? Cause again, we all get it.

He's a piece of shit that's ruining the good name of therapeutic psychedelics and also a piece of shit Nazi and also a piece of shit billionaire and also allegedly has a malfunctioning robot penis. But the thing that I feel like this is in response to is like that New York Times article that said that he was basically like a walking Nazi coke fart during the entire election. And this feels like, I'm like, oh, so is this I'm now I'm trying to figure out what the is this to assure Tesla shareholders and the board that he's okay We are too many gay bars past two in the morning to know I know

When I see you on your brother, yeah, I know one Get that past me. So I because the other thing too is like, you know Trump is obviously varied He's a documented hater of drug use So is this part of like the rehab like drug use back is in his own? Sure. I don't think Trump does drugs. Okay. He's apparently did in the eighties. Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, maybe, but like if he's doing like Adderall or something, it's probably prescribed and it's probably like, you know, in the mindset of like a T totaler, like they're not going to register that as like doing drugs. Oh, of course. Exactly. That's why. Yeah, yeah, no, it's the eldest drug thing.

His posture is so fucked up. I would not be surprised if he has like a Vicodin prescription or something like that too. Yeah, yeah. You know? No, I think he's doing prescription drugs for sure. I don't think he's doing, I don't think he's doing fucking coke or anything illegal, but I think he's documented doing Sudafed and I think Adderall. Yeah. It's pretty documented that he does not drink though.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Like people throughout his life has been, because I think it was like his dad was an alcoholic or something. His brother succumbed to addiction too and he talked about that a lot. like an alcoholic or something. His brother. His brother succumbs to addiction too. Oh yeah. He had a failed brother. But that's, I will just say, like that's also true of Elvis, who famously did not have it all together towards the end.

Elvis was like, he was like, I think illegal drugs are the worst, but like he just had every other drug. But the greenies, the doctor gets me. Yeah. And so that, you know, to the point that he died, like I have a bit of sympathy for that perspective because like I didn't interview, uh, with someone at a at GQ a while ago about Kratom. And I was saying how like this stuff is like, it's, it's pointed at people who

like are just like, like workers, like line cooks and shit. And because it's like a legal thing that you can just buy at a gas station and they're like, it's 100% natural, like Kratom. It's like, by the time they start taking it, they're probably not gonna register like, oh, I'm in withdrawals, you know? Like a heroin addict or like someone

who's like taking it for that or like someone who has experience, someone who knows ball, they'll be like, oh, fuck, like I'm addicted. Like this is a drug. Like, but I think that there is definitely a problem with like prescription stuff and like legal stuff and like gas station or shit like that, that like where a normie is just not going to like fully register. Like, oh my God, like I'm hooked on Benzo. Am I geeked up off this gas station shit? Yeah.

I mean, yeah. The other thing, even though he just said, look, I'm drug free. A lot of people are like, okay, do a hair follicle test asshole. Because a lot of people point to the urinalysis being like, you can pass ketamine out of your system, like within five days. You can't. Yeah. If you're just doing cocaine, it doesn't say anything.

If you're just doing a tea break or something and you take your test then, then yeah, chances are the test. But also I'm like, this guy's a billionaire. He could buy clean piss and then just be like, yeah, here it is. Absolutely. Fuck you. He's trying to fool the most clueless parent in the world. That's what this is.

He's trying to get back in Trump's good graces. Trump was like, this guy's clearly fucked up on something the way he's popping off. He's the teenager who got in trouble for smoking weed and had to come home to their parents with a drug test waiting for them. So he went into the bathroom and is like, maybe I can just fill it with warm water.

Yeah, in a little bit of heat. You know? You're like, oh, sorry, mom, I drank a lot of water today. And then the test is negative. And you're like, well, you know, what can I say? All right, I told you, my eyes are really positive for fluoride for some reason. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, well, you know what they say about the drinking water, Mom.

The degree to which this is like not fooling anyone except somebody who's 80 and saying, how'd you do that? To his son when his son is able to, again, we still don't really know what impressed him so much about Baron, other than maybe he told him to close his laptop and then he opened it again. Yeah, he turned it back on. That's the level of thought he's putting into it. NSA hacker.

You know what? I gotta say, like a lot of thought has been been into like the Trump Musk relationship and how like Trump doesn't like drug use and stuff like that. J.D. Vance also famously like his mom was like a heroin addict that he like narked on. Oh, like I don't know if you all saw that terrible movie Hillbilly Elegy, but I did. And there's like a scene in the movie where his mom is like, JD, I need some clean piss, or they're gonna throw me in jail. He's like, I won't do it, mom. I won't give you none of my PP. In fact, I'm calling the cops. And the movie like paints it as like, he's the good

guy for like, calling the cops or like letting his drug addicted mom like go to prison like and it's just I feel like Elon Musk hasn't like I'm sure he's rocked the boat with Donald Trump for being like too close and annoying and egotistical but I feel like JD Vance probably definitely had a say too and being like This guy's an embarrassment. He's fucking yeah I don't know why I'm giving him a southern accent Well, it's you're doing that forced fake Appalachian thing, which is also what JD Vance does So yeah, I think it's pretty accurate the but I think the most revealing thing is he posted this at like 3 44 a.m. Eastern time. I'm like, yeah, man on a Monday night. Yeah. Yeah great time to post here. I'm not on drugs fucking well after the after a weekend, I guess. Yeah. You know, maybe it'd be better to do it on like a Thursday. Yeah. In the morning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, he'll be back soon enough. I mean, has he fucking left? Like, I mean, his optics, he's visually not there, but obviously, I have had to hear about this guy every fucking day for the past, like five years.

I'm so sick of it. Yeah, it's unfortunately, he's like the architect, not the architect, but he became the face of really what Russell Vought is his name from the from Project 2025. Yeah, to be honest, I feel like it was a poor it was journalistic malpractice to bring up the drug use because now he's going to be self-conscious about it. And instead, instead, if they just never brought it up, then he could be like, oh, fuck it, maybe I'll do five doses tonight. And then maybe I wouldn't have to hear about him anymore. Maybe he could just crawl in the K-hole and not come back. Yeah.

Yeah, see ya. Maybe he could join the 57 Club. The 57 Club. That does seem to be a thing that the media, I keep noticing the media do where they're like acting like a hall monitor for Trump. Where they're like, Trump, your ICE agents aren't even deporting people at the level Biden did.

A teacher, they're not coming to your military parade, teacher. Mr. Trump, Elon Musk, he was doing drugs when he was being mean to you. It's like, yeah, he's been doing drugs when he was being nice to you. It's like, yeah, he's been doing drugs. When he was being nice to you, what are you talking about? Why are we focusing on this now? It was just the ketamine talking. Sorry. Sorry, baby.

It was just all that. You know how I get, babe. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Welcome to the You vs. You podcast.

Alive Again. A podcast about the fragility of life, the strength of the human spirit, and what it means to truly live. Listen to Alive Again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. And we're back. And I think you guys talked about this fella when I was out, Curtis Yarvin. Oh yeah. Tech philosopher who, like when you look at the shit, he was like writing all this shit about like how America would be better off as a monarchy and, uh,

specifically one run by tech billionaires, like in 2008. But, so the New Yorker wrote a long profile on him that is like, why, like just the levels of like, just how pathetic this guy is, isn't pretty fun. Like it's just, it's worth a read. Like throughout he's like, well, like I did this debate where I absolutely demolished him, but the problem was that I was fat and he wasn't. So now I'm on like the drugs.

Do you think they're working? Um, yeah, now I'm on Ozipic. Do you think they're working? What do you think of're working? Yeah. Um, yeah, now I'm on Ozipic. Do you think they're working? What do you think of my new look? Like just constantly just fishing for compliments from this New Yorker reporter being like, do you think I'm hot? Do you think I look good? But as far as things that like one of the details that's just kind of casually

dropped that I found pretty remarkable is, so he just like started out as being a guy with a blog being like people like Mark Andreessen and, or Steve Jobs should be in charge of the world. And then like Mark Andreessen reached out and befriended him and started investing in his company. Like that's how, how his career was built. And in all those like those group chats that these billionaires have too, where they have like those debates that they're also exchanging more of this information

too, like, oh, this is an interesting article from this Yardman guy, I don't know. I see it as like a very, I guess, kind of like meta reactionary movement where it's like, like even like most conservatives still are like, yeah, well, we're a democracy, we're a republic, we're this, we're that. And he's like, the people like this are like, well, what if we were a monarchy? So it's like, it's still the same kind of like,

aims towards like conservative fascist goals, but with like, a different kind of like, I don't know, a different kind of like contrarian patina to it. It's, it's, it's very faux edgy. Like, I think a lot of people like this, like since since the Elon Musk takeover of Twitter, they've really like blown up. Like I don't think without the without X the everything app, I don't think a Curtis Yarvin could really exist. I think we would still have like people like Ben Shapiro who is flopping, fail. Like people like that like are all like flopping and now we're getting like a new kind of like school of like conservative commentators

and they're all kind of like I mean they're more like mask off about being like yeah I do race science like yeah sorry they're less than right yeah just straight up but I feel like also at the same time like the conservative movement is very anti-intellectual. I think that's why a lot of these like pot, that's why people like, oh, there's a hummingbird out my window. Oh my God. It was so pretty. It was so cool.

It's that like, there's a big swath of like anti-intellectual conservatism where like people like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson where they have to like kind of debate and like prove their point through like stuff like that are getting replaced by like Podcast bros who are just like yeah, I don't know man like you can just have a beer with Trump and like it's cool and stuff like that and you don't have to really like Explain your position as much so I do have kind of maybe a hopefulness to it that I think that this like other side of like this kind of like, I call it like New York, Republicanism, because it has this kind of like intellectualism to it that I don't think is going to appeal to

most people. To the people who actually like vote for him? Yeah. Yeah. Like, like I don't, I don't think is going to appeal to most people. To the people who actually vote for him? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think most people really care about being like, oh, now I know all the science of why people are lesser than and stuff like that. It's like, I think when you add that, you're forcing your audience to do too much reading and these

motherfuckers don't read like I just like to better when I booed shit it's reactionary for a reason like like you're appealing to the reactions of people so I don't think there's really even a need for a person like this to come in and explain why you're being reactionary. I think that that's a thing that like people who like go to college and don't come out liberal, they want to like find an intellectual reason for like, to put it bluntly, they want to find an intellectual reason for why they didn't get pussy in college. And being like, all of these girls are all women are lesser people and they don't understand my massive brain is an intellectual enough reasoning for them. But I think your average conservative is just like, yeah, dude, I love Trump and like, you know, probably goes to the gym and like has sex with people. Like that person is not going to be the target audience for this, like they're still gonna be watching like

Fresh and Fit and like, they're not in their face and like ice baths at five. They're not reading the seven major steps of Curtis Yardman's Butterfly Revolution. No, no, no, no, no. They gave that shit up. We need to co-opt the congress. Yeah, they read Jordan Peterson's book

and they were like, this shit's boring. Reading's fucking gay. I don't like it. But I did, sorry, I'm yapping a lot, but you brought up Yarvin and I found this quote from the author Joyce Carol Oates that I liked a lot where she got into a tiff without courtesy Arvin and she said, my overall takeaway from the courtesy Arvin profile is that there must be

millions of smart aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their contrarian pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces until as adults they still harbor a delusion That if there is a king or a furor He'd be impressed with this guy's motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than Deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely Yeah, and I think that is spot fucking on. Yeah

I think all the like that quote at all. No, I'm sure he does. I have they gotten to a very long back and forth, as all these losers do because they spend all their time on Twitter. But all he had to do was like, you just need this one guy who goes with the grain of American capitalism. Like this guy has like no claim to anything. He's just like, you know, a child like he like graduated from college when he was like

15 or whatever But all he did was just like tell the people who are rich and powerful what they wanted to hear and they were all like This guy's fucking genius. Holy shit and then like go they like found him they like invested in his company they like rate, you know, he becomes like the center of this like intellectual circle. And it's, it's just so pathetic how easily it works. The one interesting detail is that he doesn't think the Trump administration's going farther, far enough.

He, he's quoted as saying, if you have a Trump boner right now, enjoy it. Gross. It's as hard as you'll ever get. Ew. What many see as the most dangerous assault on American democracy in the nation's history, Yervin dismisses as woefully insufficient, a vibes coup. Without a full blown autocratic takeover, he believes a backlash is sure to follow, which might be what we're seeing right now.

This is what he was saying like the day after inauguration. When I spoke to him recently, he quoted the words of Louis de Saint-Ju, the French philosopher who championed the reign of terror. He said, he who makes half a revolution digs his own grave. And yeah, before he can finish that, the New Yorker reporters start saying nerd alert and punching him in the shoulder. Also, y'all motherfuckers tried to do a coup. Like what are we talking about? His whole thing. He has all these steps that, you know, obviously like Elon Musk is also like a follower of this ideology. And, you know, it's all about like the steps or campaign on autocracy. Okay, you did that. Purge the purge the bureaucracy.

You tried that with Doge to a certain extent, but you didn't go full blown purge. Third, ignore the courts. Yeah, you're doing that part. Oh, or co-op the Congress. Yeah, you're doing that centralized police and power in the midst of that. There's still, you know, this, yeah, we working on that. Shut down elite media and academic institutions. Not quite getting that done. We definitely have a lot of-

They're working on that too. Yeah, they're working on it. But yeah, that quite hasn't happened. Then turning out the peoples to have like your own basically enforcers on the street of your thinking. And when you look at the no king shit, you're like, the numbers are just aren't there for that part, which is truly part of like his vision on how to have this like techno fascist dream world. But as we've been saying, like the Masha Gesson quote and like quote from anybody who's inside

fascist takeovers, like it always is like, man, it was not as bad as we thought it was two years ago. I feel like that's where things are going to get worse. Is, you know, they're going to do all those final steps. It's funny to me that like these people like don't like they're all kind of tripping over each other, not to really have power, but to just be like the eunuch advisor to power. I like. Like, yeah. And in literal ways, too, because like, I spin spider webs in my

spiritual ears. Yeah, right. A little bird told me something you might want to know. I will say though, I wouldn't write it off like entirely. I mean, like, what we see is they have a blueprint, but it's not everything. I always say like they're trying to speed run the third, right? In a way that it's, it's a, there's a little bit, there are other ways to do this, but they're very much trying to be like, okay, do this, this, this, this, this, and this. And if you just do that sequence, you get third, right? I think it does.

How it feels like, and why we have this just, I don't know if there's like that much of a concrete plan, I mean I could eat my words on this but I don't think there's as much of a concrete plan only because It's Trump and it's not someone else and I think Trump is like just uniquely like certainly a fascist and certainly Certainly a fascist and certainly advances fascist interests, but he's very stubborn. He's stubborn and catty. And unless you're like Benjamin Netanyahu, it's kind of hard to actually move him in those directions, no matter how many little birds you have whispering in your ear. I think that's the thing is where all the people know he's basically like a zombie corpse

that if you hijack, you can get, you can make shit happen in America because every interest has their way. Like it's like the crypto people are kind of infesting his brain, infecting his brain. The project 2025 people, like even when you saw with the ice raids, how he was like, you know, we've got to dial back the raids on agriculture and hotels and restaurants. I mean, very good people. You're like, what the fuck? And then Stephen Miller threw a fucking fit.

And that's why the other, like yesterday, Trump completely changed course. He's like, we're doing the raids again. Fuck it. Because everyone is in his ear trying to get him, like trying to make the office of the president do what they need to do. Raids will continue until morale improves. Right.

One other quote from the article. Jarvan explained that during the Elizabethan era, the finest minds of arts and sciences were to be found at court. When I asked if he saw a parallel with Trump's inner circle, he burst out laughing. Oh no, he said, my God. So that is one thing, like as we look at their execution of the big parade and stuff like

that, it's like, he doesn't have the brains in, in, you know, a lot of these people are fucking idiots. They just want proximity to power. That's all, that's, that's all they want. They're defining feature. Yeah. Like he's going out and being like, find me the finest minds. No, it's like you've got got you've got like C tier Facebook shit

posters. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Also, it's ironic because the finest minds weren't what won you the election. It was the dumbest guys on like podcasts and like the lowest common denominator type people that Democrats weren't able to turn out. Like it's the finest minds are. Say it again, a bunch of fucking nerds. Nerds! All right. Let's talk pizza real quick, shall we? Because this is just a story that

is getting a lot of play. Not sure if it's actually true because there is a McDonald's in the Pentagon. But basically, yeah, there's a McDonald's in the Pentagon. But basically, the store, yeah. There's a McDonald's in the Pentagon. It's like a shitty community college that has like a subway. Exactly. There's like the bottom of a- And a Panda Express. There's like five food courts inside the Pentagon.

Like the Pentagon is like this massive mall. Yeah. Wait, so when that plane hit, they were like, is Panda Express okay? Yeah. You know what's wild? Sabaro has fallen. Before Ground Zero was the name for, you know, the world trade centers.

It was the name of a hot dog stand in the middle. There's like a little park in the middle of the Pentagon. That's five acres. And in the very center of that is a hot dog stand that just sold hot dogs. And that hot dog stand was called ground zero. So like in this little nook right here is And there's a rumor that like Soviet intelligence, you know, doing satellite flyovers were like, why do all of their agents go to the center of this nook every day at the same time? To eat phallic meat.

That sounds like some shit where they are just like trying to make the enemy sound stupid I like how the like American equivalents of like a Game of Thrones betrayal garden is like Your advisor to be like no no Can you pass the relish by the way? There's not going to be any betrayals at the party. No onions for me I have to be with the only your closest of friends but please please enjoy another costco soda housing three hot dogs just so you know this is what's inside the food court though in the pentagon there's a That sucks. That's a shitty line. There's also Lebanese Taverna and Smoke Dat BBQ.

That one's the Lebanese place. Sounds kind of good. They don't have a fucking what's the place, the mall, like the bourbon chicken. Oh, yeah. Every time I go to the mall and when I get the free sample, I'm like, oh, there's more than there's a Taco Bell. Yeah, there's now a juice potbelly sandwich. That's what I did. Yeah, right.

They need some Auntie Anis. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Auntie Annie's. I don't know. I don't know how to say it. I feel like I'm saying it wrong every time I say it. Wow.

You said I heard Auntie Annie's, but I'm't know. I don't know how to say it. I feel like I'm saying it wrong every time I say it. Man, is it? No? Auntie Annie's. But I'm like white, so I don't feel right saying the word Auntie. Auntie. All right. But anyways, so this is all now in the news because the US government has repeatedly denied involvement in Israel's initial attack against Iran. They're like, this guy's what? Oh my God. We're all looking for who did this. Yeah, exactly.

We're all looking for who's responsible. That's crazy. Those are US-made missiles? Damn. I think you should leave ass cabinet. Yes. Some reports suggest that the US may have played a greater role than has officially been admitted.

And some of those reports involve Papa John's and Domino's because the pizza index or pizza meter, it was flaring up. This is a famous theory for predicting global turmoil by monitoring deliveries from pizza restaurants near the Pentagon. When something big is going down, everyone's stuck in the office working late and stress eats pizza and... Okay. Yeah. So it's that they're working late hours. So that's the thing.

Well... A lot of people were like, how... That actually... There's plenty... Actually, an official Pentagon spokesperson was like, we have plenty of pizza options inside the Pentagon. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'm sure they're tired of that. Yeah, but this was in the middle of... And it was plenty of pizza options inside the Pentagon. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'm sure they're tired of those.

Yeah, but this was in the middle of, and it was also in the middle of the night. And also, yeah, like sometimes you don't feel like walking fucking three miles to get to the food court, you know? Also, Sbarro sucks. Right. I'd rather have Papa John's any day. Yeah. So the Papa John's close to the Pentagon was flaring up big time right before this, as was the

Domino's. Like they, you know, people become for this very reason, people are like constantly monitoring the activity and they were like on high alert before the bomb started dropping, essentially. Can I pause it as a separate theory? Yes. That maybe they're they're're leaking this pizza information. So when you Google like pizza related stuff, pizza gate doesn't come up. Uh-huh.

Yeah. But that would benefit the democratic party more than the Republicans in power. Right. I guess you are right. That is true. Sorry. As someone who, look, I went to Comet pizza in DC. I looked for them kids.

They were not there. They were not there. Files went with in Comet Pizza in D.C. Did you really? I looked for them kids. They were not there. Damn. They were not there. I was in full tactical gear. Yep. Yep. But yeah, but my like sort of plate carrier was super saggy because I didn't actually have the ballistic plates.

There was a movie that came out last year called The Sweet East that I really enjoyed where they go to like Comet Pizza at like the beginning of the movie and Andy Mellonocchus shows up and is like, where's the fucking kids? Where are they? And he like grabs this girl and they like find like all these like tunnels Yeah, that's like the joke is that like what wait what this crazy guy is actually right but Morbid that we're like, oh man, a lot of pizzas are getting delivered. Innocent people are about to die. Yeah.

Like pizza is equal to innocent lives. Just like that relationship. Like we have the pizza index for bombs and like military shit and then the stripper index for like an economic downturn. What is that? When like at the strip clubs, the dancers say, like the ones in New York, they're like, man, when these finance dudes stop coming in and stop tipping like they do, they're tightening up. They're tightening up for something.

That makes sense. Yeah. Like just sort of like, there's so many anecdotal sort of measurements for these kinds of things. I bet if you talk to, I bet if we got some drug dealers on the horn, like some high level drug dealers, Yeah, yeah, we'll probably know. Cause I feel like drug sales going up would also be an indicator. Right. But is that but that's just general inelastic demand, right?

Like that shit just stays on. Yeah, I think it's just like it's popping or it's really popping. Yeah, yeah, I feel like really popping would be like or maybe the kinds of drugs. Yeah, like maybe if you're moving a lot of Xanax and stuff, it's like, oh, people are worried if moving like a lot of Xanax and stuff, it's like, oh, people are worried. I have moving like a lot of like coke and Iraq war vibes. It's like, it's like, oh, well, it's 2011 Obama. I got a feeling.

White House I was like, bro. Twice. One, two, three. Ten. Took out of the White House. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You can fill in the rest from there. It is peak.

It is some lived up bullshit. Yeah. Say what you will about these protests. They got the libs out there. Yeah. They're on the streets. a lot of people are making parody songs of like uncopyrighted material of like public use material. They're smart. They are crushing.

Couple posts I like from Blue Sky. This is a basketball one at set Rosenthal W he's got a social posted if the Pacers played this shitty against the Knicks The Knicks would have made the finals in a quote But Seth the Pacers are only playing this shitty because the Thunder are a tougher opponent than the Knicks No, no, that can't be true. Shut the fuck up That is a Herrera dot B sky social posted all you motherfuckers talking about if eating a mermaid is Cannibalism when you know for a fact that your broke asses could never afford mermaid meat and I'm like, yep Yeah, who can who can't do do you think do we think it would be like?

We think would be like tuna or do we think it would be like? dolphin like is it I mean if a like a Bear eats another kind of a bear that's I think it'd be like dolphin? Like is it the same if a like a bear eats another kind of a bear? That's I think it'd be more like Mahi. Yeah, that sounds about right. But I think like a flaky white. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. No, I think it'd be red. Ariel was a flaky white. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I think it'd be like tuna.

I got a like ahi tuna. Okay, but I do think that okay. Like ahi tuna. Okay. But I do think that would be wrong for the record. And for the record, I don't have mermaid meat money nor even if I did, would I be interested? No. Okay. No.

I'm glad we got both of you on the record. Give me that mermaid meat. There we go. I just say, I think it's still a person even though they're an aquatic individual. So I stand with, and I stand with women cause most mermaids are women. And I think that, I don't are women. And I don't think you should treat women that way. What do you think of people who put on a mermaid tail

and go to a public pool? I've seen videos like that on the internet. That's a person. Those we can eat. If a guy wears a bear suit, can you kill him in the woods? No. Yes. I have some kind of non-heterodox opinions on this.

You think you can... I mean, you're definitely inviting something. Janie, if I may just reference the great courts, the salons of Paris of yesteryear. Now, there were many... I know this is nerdy shit, nevermind. Nerd alert. Or there was the whitest kids you know bit where I forgot his name. Darren dresses up like a doe in the woods and they're like hunting.

Miles, is there a song that you think the people might enjoy? Yes. This is an artist I just came across called Celine Desberg. She is half Mongolian, half half French and the music she plays. It's like really, it feels like what you like, how you want the world to be right now. When

I listen to it, I'm like, I would love to walk through a park and listen to this and know that there is peace on earth. Like that's the energy it gives. Obviously knowing that this is just a way to distract myself from the fucking hell around us. But this track is called Chintamani, C-H-I-N-T-A-M-A-N-I by Celine Desberg. Really fucking, all of it works like super cool, vibey, just nice stuff to make you feel like shit isn't totally fucked. So enjoy. All right, we will look off to that in the footnotes.
