I think I learned that, like, Colonial Williamsburg or some kind of weird old history field trip. And they're like, red fabric was the most expensive in all the land
Starting point is 00:02:45 i think they hadn't like invented blue for a long time there's all sorts of interesting yeah eiffel 64 was not even in rotation yeah yeah exactly and that is what i meant by when miles was talking about his childhood i just always need to ground myself and be like and that was at a time when eiffel 64 hadn't invented blue yet i believe it's eiffel 65 just sorry all right take it from the top take it i just i didn't know if someone was gonna come in and correct but i will not stand for this i will will not have my Italian Euro dance super group be smeared like that.

But anyway, in honor of her, I want to say N-U-N-U-I-T-E-Y. That's how I thought it was pronounced. I'm very Latifah-ined these days yeah well yeah shout out to the cast rule casanova for giving us both of those akas miles we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the greats a hilarious actor improviser stand-up comedian uh you've seen him all over tv key and peel workaholics comedy bang bang he writes for grand crew video games and tv shows about video games you know him from
Starting point is 00:05:11 everywhere you know him from guesting on this podcast from basically day one please welcome noted thought dad it's iffy wadiway aka if he couldn't even get a Sony official controller for that thing, it's your boy. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. We are here in the past where they have just announced the discovery of a debris field. Yeah. I mean, that means almost never good. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah because i mean like i think
Starting point is 00:05:47 they said new debris field too which is kind of like an operative word considering there's a lot of debris down there the titanic yeah it's you know it is gonna be like wild if they do survive because like what do you think the vibe's going to be do you think people are going to go harder against them or do you think we're going to pretend like we weren't making fun of them down there just everybody they can see it they can see it they can see it right i think it's a wrap unfortunately based on this debris field thing yeah i think they kind of went down there and were like well there's your problem. But the whole thing is just a bunch of little pieces now.
Starting point is 00:06:37 So I don't know if we have that version of reality coming at us anytime soon. But Ify, it's great to have you. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. Yes. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today, such as a pending cage match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. I'm ready. Send me location. To that, I say send me location. Yeah. I want to be there.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Them fighting words. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I do think this would be good for everyone because they would probably hurt themselves and also look bad doing it. They would go the hardest they've ever gone in their lives. Well, here's the thing. What I what I think about it as a as a and then Miles also a purveyor of combat sports is, you know, we know that the Zuck knows Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I
Starting point is 00:07:28 feel like that is an easy one to, I feel like if you're in a chokehold and you let your pride get the best of you, you're going to get schlepped. You're going to get schlepped. So I feel like Elon Musk is definitely the type of dude who's not tapping out even though he knows he should.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Yeah, he's getting schlepped out. My money's's on the zuck he'll do the whole thing like he's joking about it i feel like is gonna be la musk's vibe yeah but anyways yeah yeah yeah hell that we live in that we're having this conversation but i cannot deny that i'm intrigued by the he's gonna be in he going to get locked up in a triangle, and he's going to wave his arm at the crowd like, ha, ha, ha, you see? It's like, no, man, you're okay. They're just so desperate for genuine connection with other human beings that they're like, the only thing that would make people like us
Starting point is 00:08:17 is if we hurt each other because they hate us so much. Seems to be the strategy. Anyways, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the FBI analyst who is going to prison for basically doing the exact same thing that Trump did, ranking every Arizona iced tea flavor
Starting point is 00:08:33 from worst to best. This is an example of one of those stories that I can't see the same way after we did our Big Sugar episode. I'm just like, okay, and what's the total sugar on that? Wow. Yeah. I still have no concept of how much sugar is bad like i still think of things of like things in grams
Starting point is 00:08:50 in terms of like drugs and i'm like yeah that much 24 gram daily allotment which okay that's almost an ounce that's very little yeah yeah yeah and oh yeah i guess when you look at it in a bag yeah the most popular flavor i think is the like arizona iced tea lemon one and that one has 59 grams daily allotment supposed to be 24 so but before we get to any of that shit iffy we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history oh i'm gonna say skosland Altars of Lilith because I've been going hard in Diablo 4. It's a great couch co-op game. This is for, you know, I think we all are partnered up in here. And if you want to play games, but you need to spend quality time with your partner, I suggest some couch co-op.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And Diablo 4 has been great. Me and him have been busting through it, fighting back the demons of hell. Oh. And it's been great. I heard, yeah, the reviews have been really good. Oh, yeah. You know, because when 3 came out, I actually liked 3, but a lot of people were like, it ain't no Diablo 2.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And I think that they kind of split the difference in a way that made everyone real happy about it. And it's on, you know, the PS4 now and it's cross play. So you can play with any of the homies who are playing it. So they really nailed it. I'm really excited. I think if anything, this gets me excited for the future of video games with the cross play. Because, you know, I'm also on that Street Fighter 6 serving people up. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:10:22 That looks fucking real good. Marissa is my girl girl capcom has doubled down on their big women and i'm here for it marissa is a giant italian pancreation fighter uh who is she's really slow but she does she has like the gnarliest command grab and she has these like punches you can charge that will give you a light shield when you come through so so you can kind of punch through attacks and shit oh so so she's real fun and i've been going hard and you know now that i'm you know actually medicated with adhd i'm actually able to focus and actually learn the game uh the little little sub thing that happens when you start
Starting point is 00:11:01 getting medicated for adhd all these games that you would just give up after you figured out it was too frustrating you actually take the time to actually learn the timing and shit and uh that's real exciting for me too yeah yeah did you get through ghost of tsushima uh no that was before i was medicated i got all the way up into the last part where like i like like like i'm really honestly i probably got maybe 30 minutes left and i just was like i'm gonna go try something else yeah like i was getting a little too overwhelming yeah yeah there's too many how many how many of these uh headbands i gotta find now i'm not here i think i heard you say cross play in there uh in that jumble of words that i didn't understand yeah yeah what is that so that's when you can play with other people across platforms is that yes yes so traditionally it used to be uh they they kept us segregated
Starting point is 00:11:50 these these big corporations and it was really just a ploy to try and get people to have brand loyalty so like you knew that since there was no cross play if a group of gaming if a group of gaming friends were going to buy a console they they had to all pick the same one. And now that's just kind of, I think, has fizzled out. And now you can cross-play with Diablo 4 or Street Fighter 6. So I can play with you on PC. Miles can be on PS5 and you can be on Xbox One and we can all play Diablo 4 together. be on ps5 and you can be on xbox one and we can all play diablo 4 together that's so like that's that's pretty like that's we're moving forward in a great direction moving forward yeah great
Starting point is 00:12:32 what is something you think is overrated uh something that i think is overrated i'm gonna go ahead and say you know doing supersets in a packed gym i know we want to get these supersets in a packed gym. I know we want to get these supersets in to work these large muscle groups, but if the gym is packed, there's not enough to go around. We all know that the gym system is built for us to give up. That's why it's so cheap to go to Planet Fitness
Starting point is 00:12:58 because the facilities can't hold the amount of members they have. They depend on you to give up. And you want to know what helps people give up? You hogging up all the damn weights and shit. And now I got to wait 50 minutes to try and hop
Starting point is 00:13:12 on. So overrated supersets in a crowded gym. Supersets by themselves? Great. If you're in a crowded gym, leave it alone. Supersets are when you're doing like jumping from one exercise to the next, like back to back. So yeah. So like say you might want to do a set of hammer curls and then you want to do side raises and front raises. Obviously, you might need three different dumbbells for that.
Starting point is 00:13:34 So you're going to have all three in front of you. That's three dumbbells in front of you for you to do all those workouts in succession, because the idea is that is superset is combining three sets in one set. And then you rest after doing all three, which is a great way to blast out a large set of muscle groups but a horrible way to share the gym when it's packed it's summer we got these teens in here with us we got you know they they're they're off of school you know they're they're you know they're trying to get they weighed up before you know before this football season comes. The college kids are in here. No super set. As a gym rat, you kind of see the ebb and flow of people.
Starting point is 00:14:10 You're like, okay, it's the beginning of the year. I'm going to deal with the New Year's crowd. And then that dies off. And then you're like, all right, it's June. It's time for the kids to show up. And the kids, honestly, I get hyped when I see the New Year's boom because you're getting a whole new batch of people who are about to be excited about this thing you're excited about. That's cool. Kids are a little annoying because they come in packs.
Starting point is 00:14:31 You know, I don't care if it's like, you know, the star player busting out his sets and getting it going. What happens is you get five kids around a bench and then they're all just there's no tempo or system yet. They're talking, they're looking at TikToks, they're taking a bench and they're just taking their sweet time and they're not really even getting it in. They're not even pushing themselves until they see, you know, a strapping young brother come up and start benching
Starting point is 00:14:58 315. Then all of a sudden they want to start throwing a lot of weight on them. They're like, hey, y'all done? They're like, oh, shit. Yeah. I will. Are y'all done kids all're like, oh, shit. Oh, yeah. I will, are y'all done kids all the time? Because they'll be done immediately.
Starting point is 00:15:11 And I don't feel bad. Well, yeah. I mean, and also, I get that too. Like, I remember in high school, like, the one kid had, like, the gym membership. Like, we could all go. And we would just fuck around.
Starting point is 00:15:20 We weren't doing shit. Yeah. Like, you know, so I get it. And I remember the thing that terrified me was someone who was serious about lifting weights being like hey man i need a squat sled and you're like oh yeah yeah for sure i was just showing them a cool jump move i could do i'm showing them how i can use it like a skateboard yeah exactly watch this kick push kick push yeah oh lupe's out oh do you do you feel like you've ever seen anybody get injured just from the pressure, the peer pressure of you being there and them wanting to keep up?
Starting point is 00:15:51 Impressive. There hasn't been that yet because everyone pretty much knows their limits because there is a fun, you know, like the gym is a perfect place for toxic masculinity to run wild. So there's all these silent competitions going on. So there's been times where I've been benching next to somebody and we're near and we'll, they'll just, you'll see them put like five pounds on more than you do. So then you go and you put the five pounds on and you do more and you're just going plate for plate. And, uh, you know, I've won a lot of those, but I've lost some, I've lost some where I was like, okay, you don't want, I've hit my ceiling. He's like I've lost some. I've lost some where I was like, okay, you the one. You the one. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I've hit my ceiling. He's like, hey, man, you going to play Diablo 4 later? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I like the tenacity. It would be great. Amazing. What's something you think is underrated? We got to talk about Costco. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Wait, what is that? Never heard of that. A little membership store. uh-oh wait what is what is that never heard of that you know a little a little um you know a little uh membership store membership store yeah yeah a little mom and pop membership store i it was so funny because i floated around getting a costco membership because i was like i'm not gonna do it because you know growing up all our parents had it and and you know we're we try and be trendy we're like we don't go to you know or you just make your parents you're like yeah you go can you get this for me?
Starting point is 00:17:06 Yeah. Yes. And I've been holding off. I've been holding off, but you know, now, you know, I got my girl living with me.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I got a seven year old. Who's just, you know, teening up and you know, those bulk items really come through. Also. It's a great act. Like if you,
Starting point is 00:17:20 if I take my daughter to target is a whole thing. Like you could tell she's bored. She never bored at Costco. She was like, what's that? What's this? it's a whole thing. Like, you could tell she's bored. She never bored at Costco. She was like, what's that? What's this? What's that? I'm like, yeah. So, and, you know, the 150 hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I need to support a man who says he will kill you if you try and raise the price of his $1.50 hot dogs. And that's who I want to support in this outcome. Like, if he joins the fight, that's who my money's on. That's who I want to support in this outcome. If he joins the fight, that's who my money's on. If he's like, oh, Zuck and Elon trying to throw hands, let me step in there.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I've never taken my kids to Costco. I've never thought about Costco as a... They're going to fuck with it. They think Target is cool. I guess they haven't seen the levels that Costco can bring. Yeah, because Target's cool, but it's also a trap. Because once I get down that toy aisle, then it's a wrap for you.
Starting point is 00:18:10 But Costco, they really don't have a dedicated toy space. The only thing they really kind of go hard on is the books. Which is like, yeah, you want to get one of these books? Yeah, get this book. Sit your ass in the room and read something. Yeah. But beyond that, there's just so much like big shit like because you know they have they sell whole ass like playground stuff so they're just like wowed by it yeah he hasn't even tasted a sample yet oh right man
Starting point is 00:18:36 remember fedco remember when there was fedco man that's where i go my grandpa we would eat for we was doing the fedco we called the fedco lunch you go to fedco and you just hit the samples round and around and around and he'd be like watch this he's like i'm gonna get another one we're like okay cool let's have these little smokies sausages or some shit over and over but oh for people don't know what if you might be referencing to there is a story that the costco president uh was told like when he the co-founder of costco jim senegal was like i'll fucking kill you if you raise the price on the dollar 50 hot dog they're like these margins don't make sense for us we're we're hemorrhaging money here and he was
Starting point is 00:19:17 like a word i how about how about this he said quote if you raise the price of the fucking hot dog i will kill you that's the direct quote that the current ceo said that was the conversation yeah the founder yeah apparently like it was the person who was told this who shared this story and it was like more of a like a joking tone but i do love the energy of like but you still you can joke but you know what you're trying to say oh yeah like yo i'll fucking kill you know what you're trying to say. Oh, yeah. You're like, yo, I'd fucking kill you, man, if you'd write that hot dog. Yeah, you're out of here. And they ended up finding ways to cut costs, and it was through developing their own hot dogs through that.
Starting point is 00:19:55 So to do that, they then started developing their hot dogs and then selling it in stores. Mostly made of sawdust at this point. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Still, that one's good, though. Yeah still that one yeah oh yeah i mean it's juicy you know it's the juiciest pieces i bet costco but like those stores first blew my mind because i had never seen the sheer amounts of these kinds of foods like i would go to the store with my mom or whatever my dad and you're you seeing like one box of fruit roll-ups you know and then you go to
Starting point is 00:20:24 costco you're like what the fuck is this like barrel of a nation of fruit yeah yeah and you're you seeing like one box of fruit roll-ups you know and then you go to costco you're like what the fuck is this like barrel of a nation of fruit yeah yeah yeah you're like oh this and with like my little greedy kid mind i'm like yeah yeah yeah i want that give me the barrel of that shit don't go bad yeah no no and then look we've seen how much they go for in israel because of tiktok yeah the you'll have taquitos for months for for a year yeah they'll be waiting but that's how i ate when i was 12 i ate tyson's teriyaki frozen chicken breasts every fucking day of like from 12 to 15 i'm pretty sure your protein intake was off the charts oh yeah and who knows what else the fucking chemicals was off the charts
Starting point is 00:21:05 too he did tyson reformed rib meat patty yeah that's why the man's built like a brick shithouse exactly and i yeah all right well speaking of built like a brick shithouse we will uh take a quick break and come back and talk about mark zuckerberg the brazilian jujitsu master, who also people might not remember this, but you first found out about him from the social network and his work on Facebook. But now famous martial artist, and he's got an upcoming fight that might be interesting to people. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of
Starting point is 00:23:15 my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:23:52 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?
Starting point is 00:24:10 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. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.
Starting point is 00:24:41 We're back. It does seem to be a pretty standard progression for people once they start flirting with billionaire status. Like they got to get tough. Yeah, they got to get tough. Oh, yeah. You know, Dre comes out in what looks like a muscle shirt or, you know, like it just. Oh, Dr. Dre, like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:02 When Dre that one time. Beats by Dre deal hit. Yeah, you hadn't seen him in a while. Then he comes out and he was absolutely yoked. And yeah, this idea, I wasn't surprised that Mark Zuckerberg was like, so now I'm going to make myself into a human weapon. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, we, we, we first talked about the drama about Zuck and whether or not he got put to sleep in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament. And after some deep research from a journalist at Vice, it seems that it's more likely that he was actually not choked out at the tournament based on everything that he looked into and people he spoke to at the tournament.
Starting point is 00:25:46 spoke to at the tournament um so i guess we have to accept the reality that this dude is the new uh hoist gracie but anyway the last month or so there's been this like back and forth between twitter and meta as like i guess there's this idea started getting kicked around the meta headquarters to make a twitter that was quote sanely run and this obviously irritated the south african mad lad and when a Twitter user asked for a comment about their plans to make their own Twitter potentially, he said, I'm up for a cage match if he is LOL. And
Starting point is 00:26:14 our boy Marky Mark wasn't about to let this dude slide, so he posted this shit on his IG screen cap that with a big fucking text block over that thing where it's saying, I'm up for a cage match. It just says, send me location um cool uh and then elon responded with vegas octagon and he also said that he had a move called the walrus that he should watch out for where he just lays on top of someone and does nothing but i think he may be confusing his sexual style with an actual fighting
Starting point is 00:26:42 style and when the verge reached out to a meta spokesperson to be like is this shit for what the fuck is going on their response was quote the story speaks for itself yeah i mean and i think that means they're they are i think this is this sounds like two puny billionaires want to get tough for everyone's entertainment yeah it sounds like one puny billionaire wants to get tough and then Elon Musk thinks he's funny, which is his fatal flaw, his tragic flaw, is that he just wants to be funny and can't be. But maybe he can want to be funny his way
Starting point is 00:27:20 into getting his ass beat. That might be interesting. How do we get a double knockout like a street fighter you know double ko like i'd love to just see that like they both go for i don't even who knows what this is going to be but i honestly thought like we were going to see like billionaires force like like poor people to fight for their entertainment but if they want to invert the relationship that i mean i'm down to just watch billionaires maybe fight to the death definitely and i think you know what what also kind of gets me is like elon is doing that thing that we've seen before where some where you get impressed and you're trying to like diffuse it with comedy where you know it's the whole reason i'm a
Starting point is 00:28:03 comedian you grow up in compton you either become a comedian or you learn how to fight where you know it's the whole reason i'm a comedian you grow up in compton you either become a comedian or you learn how to fight or you know and and i went the comedian route where but it's like you are you're trying to like keep the goofs fucking going when in actuality it's like mark i feel like he's like no let's let's throw hands mark serious yeah like i was like let's let's go i'm serious about making brisket and beating the shit out of people now Mark's serious. he's not trying to be cool well he's just a guy trying to do shit and be rich and pretend like he's philanthropic for those tax breaks but he's not out here trying to be like i'm the cool guy he's putting weird sunscreen on while he surfs he's just living his life and then piping in i mean send me location is really him letting his full robot flag oh yeah oh yeah he's gonna look
Starting point is 00:29:04 like that meme of the monkey that has no expression when he was killing, when he was checking that guy, that's how Mark's going to go. But like Elon is trying so hard and it's so funny that he can't figure out that that's why he's lame is because everyone knows how bad you want to be cool. Everyone knows how hard you try. And you truly
Starting point is 00:29:25 like, what I do think is funny is he knows his followers are lame. Because if he didn't, he'd be very at peace with all these like chodes who are in his reply being like, yeah, get him, Elon. Yeah, this, this. But like, you're not. You
Starting point is 00:29:41 want like people who you deem as like actually cool and intelligent. Yeah, you want ASAP Rocky to, like, people who you deem as, like, actually cool and intelligent. Yeah, you want ASAP Rocky to be like, let's go, Elon! Yeah. Which ain't gonna happen, bro. I'm sorry. I don't know how to tell it to you. It ain't gonna happen.
Starting point is 00:29:54 But I do think it's an important part of his appeal to his followers that he tries to be funny and is not funny. he is he tries to be funny and it and is not funny in the same like that i think that was a big reason why the joker resonated so much with incels is like the updated joaquin phoenix joker we talked about this in like the pop culture episode last week like the that character the update from the heath ledger one was he was an incel and also he wanted to be funny and was not, which is also true of Elon Musk. Like they have that in common. And I think a big portion of like the right wing incel mob also really identifies with that.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah. I mean, I think, I think we have a big fight on our hands. Elon Musk stands, depending on if his self-reported height anywhere between six feet and six two okay so but again i think i think i'm gonna give the edge i mean this is so stupid i don't even know why the fuck this happened is this i honestly think if this were to happen it would
Starting point is 00:30:56 potentially be a pretty big pay-per-view somehow yeah yeah or if they're smart they'd be like we're fucking billionaires you can just watch us debase ourselves for free and embarrass ourselves for free but i don't know if that's gonna happen but yeah i i tend to agree with iffy if this happens i think mark zuckerberg he has the intensity of a guy who's like trying to compensate and will go to any means necessary like doing that like navy seal tribute workout he did where we're like a whatever 50 pound flak vest all day whereas elon would like try and like lull his way out of right like a chokehold or something so yeah we'll see and from an entertainment perspective it definitely fills a need like we're the news and stories like this are having to fill in because nobody nobody's actually attacking billionaires you know orcas yes uh the sea orca's doing that work yeah
Starting point is 00:31:46 and i guess water pressure and other billionaires are having to fill in because those are the only people the only entities that are allowed to attack billionaires well yeah because and also yeah i i get that like we we're always in these situations where we we're just talking about how like backwards shit is like whether it's like the fond wool brothers or like justice alito or like the supreme court justice like yeah man we take money from these guys and we ruin their favor baby it's rigged and then we feel so fucking like just like what the fuck are our options that the next one's like yeah i guess yeah elon and fucking zuckerberg beat the shit out of each. That'll help diffuse my rage for just a moment.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yeah. All right. Well, a former FBI analyst is going to prison for hoarding classified documents. Kendra Kingsbury was just sentenced to nearly four years in prison for hoarding hundreds of classified documents at her house. The documents were stored on hard drives and compact disks. So there are some differences between the case that this might be making you think of. Big, that's a big difference. Another big one is that she did not seem to try to obstruct the investigation or like lie.
Starting point is 00:32:56 So what does she do? Like a, I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I'm sorry, I didn't know I couldn't do that. Like that was the defense. I think that was probably the defense. Oh, they, they also. All right. So here are the similarities about 300 documents that they weren't supposed to have, that they were hoarding.
Starting point is 00:33:12 They both kept the documents in or near a bathroom. Although again, in her case, like it is, they were on storage devices. They weren't just like loose, damp paper. You know, those like yellowing the way that they were with Trump. But yeah, big differences is that like he's facing obstruction
Starting point is 00:33:32 charges on top of this, which is significant. He's arguably more culpable, seeing as he was a key national security policymaker, perhaps the key national security policymaker. The one thing that both stories, like I'm not totally clear on what the motive was. Like with her, they're not like, and she was spying or, you know, at least. It could just be sloppy. Like, yeah, like you're just keeping that shit.
Starting point is 00:34:00 And they're like, you like, you know, you can't have that. Like, I think it's always like, you know, you can't have that. But with like Trump, I mean, you like you know you can't have that like i think it's always like you know you can't have that yeah but with like trump i mean like you know very early on remember he had like like representatives of the russian government in the oval office and apparently showed them like shared some top secret intel with them like he there's like part of him that's part ego that he's like i know something you don't do you want to hear it and the other part is how much can i get for this shit potentially like are the two paths i see that to him that's why those things have value to him yeah and like his world of billionaires wherever you know billionaires are you know in competition but they're also just helping each other out it's like them against the
Starting point is 00:34:42 rest of the world and so you know that that's probably more what he's used to is like, all right, yeah, the cameras aren't around. You can see all these documents. We're good here. Like, it does feel like it's the inherent conflict. Like, the very first thing when I, like, when you hear Donald Trump is running for president, the idea of him being a politician is like, no, he's like a greedy celebrity
Starting point is 00:35:06 billionaire who's like possessive and does absolutely nothing for the common good and like the contrast of like someone who does that who then is like in charge of all these documents where he he like he has to in so many ways acknowledge that the job is bigger than him and like in that fox news interview where he basically self-incriminated he kept being like they were my documents they're like he just can't get over the philosophical bridge between like no that's a job and it's like a service thing and the idea of like no it's mine everybody get away this is all right he's like when you go to me, when you go to a, uh, like a Yankee game, do you try and take the seat with you after the game's over?
Starting point is 00:35:51 Right. He's like, it's mine. It's like, well, no, in the context of the, you going to see it, it's yours. But after that, it ain't yours. Yeah. I try to put it in terms. He might understand. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:02 He was the, yeah. He was that person who like, after he got fired from TJ Maxx, he's like, why do I have to give back the keys? Why do I have to give back the keys? I have the keys. I should be able to. You gave me the keys. Yeah, these are my keys.
Starting point is 00:36:15 That is such a specific reference. Did you work with somebody at TJ Maxx like that? Was that you, Ify? You ain't getting these keys back. I'm pulling up in that TJ Maxx whenever i want at whatever time i want pull up yeah find me on twitter at if keys oh but yeah i mean i guess we'll see what happens it's funny to see stories like this and everyone goes oh trump's toast and it's like yeah i don't know man yeah it really is yeah i'll believe it when i see it because oh don't go no go ahead but no i was like yeah because
Starting point is 00:36:51 like at this point any other person would have been like cooked right now and we'd be you know having the rest of these cases while they're getting pulled out in a jumpsuit and that's just simply just not like it seems like it keeps being prolonged and it's dangling it in front of the people and giving people time to like do their dance. But I'm like, let's, like, I'm not believing anything until I see it yet. I've been burned too many times.
Starting point is 00:37:18 The one thing that was slightly surprising was the judge that was like a Trump appointee who like did everything in her power to like just embarrass herself as a judge like early or last year when it was like this whole case was swirling around yeah is she did set a date for august for the trial to start so a lot of people were like she might push this shit a year and she's like no it'll be we're doing it in august okay all right so you're starting to maybe move in that direction but there's still plenty of opportunities for her to completely fuck up the process oh definitely again like i said
Starting point is 00:37:48 i'll believe it when i see him like with like his whatever his hair looks like when he has no access to the shit that he has at his house then i will yeah yeah definitely i mean it is like a weird dichotomy you know we've talked about i, last I was on a while ago, I talked about like, when is the point that these people are going to finally like allow themselves to distance themselves from Trump? Like they're just so, I think everyone was so surprised when Trump got elected that everyone's like, it might happen again. And i want to be on his good side if it does and it just reads very corny uh and there's just i don't know what to kind of take from this anymore because it's like we don't have to play this game anymore but we still are i mean i think it just goes to show the mindset of like a lot of his supporters and the politicians that are like
Starting point is 00:38:43 in that maga mindset which is most of them really at this point is that it's not really a political party. It's just this, it's just like this anti-democratic movement that's happening by any means. And like, they're all kind of pointed in the same direction and, but there's not much real long-term thinking going on because like, even as,
Starting point is 00:39:03 as we look at it, you like all these people hopping in the race and no one knowing what's going on, I think just as we look at it you like all these people hopping in the race and no one knowing what's going on i think just goes to show that it's a lot of people at this point they might just run for their ego and who knows if it's really to oppose trump but i don't know we'll see we'll see what happens i mean because like no one no one's really saying with their full voice like this is bullshit so yeah yeah all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for president was the target of two
Starting point is 00:39:36 assassination attempts separated by two months these events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when president gerald ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI
Starting point is 00:40:09 in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality, Chiquis, about making
Starting point is 00:40:51 a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer, Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.
Starting point is 00:41:30 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.
Starting point is 00:41:45 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?
Starting point is 00:42:01 We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing they're just dreams dream sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And credits for Marvel's new show, which I don't know, has anybody seen it?
Starting point is 00:42:37 I saw the credits. The alien invasion one? Secret invasion. Secret invasion. Yes. So just premiered, and it's got a credit sequence created by quote, an AI vendor,
Starting point is 00:42:53 which is not that shocking because it kind of looks like shit. Oh yeah. It looks like all that terrible AI art that like animated AI art. It has this like look that's just like not just, it's shitty. It's just really fucking bad. Yeah bad yeah yeah have any of you seen the full the full credit sequence no i i actually have not i just watched it it's so it's like really unbelievable that a company that has like a background in animation and then a brand that's like rooted in comic books goes for some of the most uninspiring animatics I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Like truly, like they're not even, it's not even like, yo, this is actually wild. It's just like, this looks like amateur hour kind of stuff. And I guess only unless you're like wowed by the idea that it's AI,
Starting point is 00:43:40 that maybe you look at it differently, but objectively you look at it and you're like, is this like the bootleg version of this show? Right. Yeah. So the executive producer, Ali Salim, said that he thought the AI credits felt explorative and inevitable and exciting and different,
Starting point is 00:43:59 although he doesn't really understand how it all works. I'm sorry, he doesn't know how AI works? works, but I like the inevitable. I don't know how it works. I don't know how to, I don't know, man. Yeah. But the, the fact like saying it's explorative and inevitable to kind of give
Starting point is 00:44:15 away the game. It's just like, yeah, this is, it's a progress. Just feast your eyes on this. All right. So we're watching miles is showing us the clip.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Yeah, this looks like every AI TikTok. Yeah, exactly. You know, it's not like it's funny that they're like explorative. It's like, in what way? In the way that everyone who has access to a cell phone has been doing this? Like you, like, you know, like it is just it's weird to see how many people are just trying so hard to push this agenda that that ai is the future and this that and the third and and and we need to go we we need to just get on board because it's just proving the longer it goes on that it just isn't
Starting point is 00:45:04 there and everyone you know everyone keeps trying to like keep it relevant by being like yet until it learns until it learns and it's like yeah no that's going to be stopped i mean you already have drake you know suing over the ai music like i don't see ai in in legal terms making it much farther because it is it is just derivative of you know established copywritten stuff and is just kind of mishmashing enough stuff together to uh say it's a new thing and at a certain point people are just going to be like okay cool then um you need to show the data in what your you know computer learning used to get that and you need to pay me if my name is there and then ai's gone overnight right i mean the company behind the scene behind the sequence released
Starting point is 00:45:53 a statement being like the ai was merely a tool used by these artists whose name we didn't list and then i guess in in the actual credits you can see the people's names but like one of them seems to be made up like the ai technical director is credited in the show as sagan's carl which people are like is that are you just reworking carl sagan's name because that name has no internet presence other than this one credit yeah yeah. Yeah. I'm, I'm really curious. Like, and is that, then you're like,
Starting point is 00:46:27 Oh, so you actually did credit the AI, right? Like, are you just doing that sort of like tongue in cheeks? It'd be like, and then Sagan's Carl, the homie that came up with this real lukewarm fucking uninspiring opening.
Starting point is 00:46:42 It's gotta, it's gotta be a, I don't know. I mean, like I, I can see, you see a lot of people who hear ai and they just get excited but like to like it sounds like this producer is like one of these people just uncritically being like yeah man it's like i hear like it's like all over the
Starting point is 00:46:56 place so we figured this would be like a cool way to step in i don't know how it works i don't know if that's like worth replacing like actual human beings who are artists who could provide something that is like miles ahead of this but i don't know if that'd be cool plus also look let's be real the budgets got scrapped and we had to use an ai the cheapest way to get it done which is probably i don't know to me that's what it sounds the reason you would do something like this is to save money yeah i mean that's the whole like when you look at the we we are not like if you listen to this show like you you're probably not getting the impression like everyone's super excited about ai but like the stock market like the the markets are so excited
Starting point is 00:47:39 about ai like that's driving like all the growth on the stock market in the past like year or so is like how excited people are about AI. So you just really get a sense from like, you know, this executive producer who he's listening to is people who are on the money side and are just like, we can make all this work disappear. And that is so exciting. Hey, Mark, Mark, show him that. Show him that one opening. you asked the AI to make for a Hulk show we just made up. Look at that. A computer just did that.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I just typed a word in. Yeah. So I'm telling you, this is the future, man. It's the future. And the thing that's like, I also hear a lot of people too, like I get from friends who work in the nonprofit space,
Starting point is 00:48:22 like how much ChatGPT has helped them with grant writing. And I could see space, like how much chat GPT has helped them with grant writing. And I could see how like for something like that, it may feel like this really mundane process that you can just kind of now free some mental bandwidth up. But as I hear more about like people using it for writing and things too, like, I'm just not sure we are going to be able to adjust what like a curriculum needs to look like in a world filled with AI that is like, is actually at the same pace that the AI develops. Because I feel like the worst case scenario is like we embrace all this and people have
Starting point is 00:48:52 just lost the ability to think because it's like just easy to be like, I don't know. I type my desires into this blank box and then something appears. Yeah. All right. then something appears. Yeah. All right. Well,
Starting point is 00:49:04 we'll, we'll see if this Sagan's Carl turns out to just have a, an amazing career in that. Yeah. He's just some guy who doesn't sleep. Like, did they hire that? Did they use the AI to like concoct the lie for them? Like,
Starting point is 00:49:18 was that the, no, no, no, we had artists. Yeah. I mean, that would be, that would also be wilder. It's like, but I am. We had artists. Like this one we just made up. I mean, that would also be wilder.
Starting point is 00:49:29 It's like, but I am Sagans Carl. Yeah, that is my name. We'll see. I can't open the door. Help me. You guys Arizona Tea fans? I only drink one. I'm like loyal. Mucho Mango. Mucho Mango.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Mucho Mango. I'm nasty. I fuck with that watermelon and I remember when that Energy RX dropped and I thought I was on some new new. I was like, oh, this is going to be what I need to do these long nights. Yeah, I think in the very beginning, I was like, I remember the
Starting point is 00:50:04 peach one blew my mind and then i was on the ginseng green tea one for a while because i think just the colors were like very vapor wavy for me like in the like oh yeah but now whenever i if ever i deign to grab a can of arizona it's mucho mango i don't know i think it's the most chemically. Yeah. It feels like thick, right? Mucho Mango? I mean, you mean like the flavor coats your... It's not iced tea, is it? No, no. It's like a juice, basically.
Starting point is 00:50:34 It's pure whatever. Pure unhealth. This is ranking the tea flavors. One of them is like part Mucho Mango. Oh yeah, I've had that one. Half and half, iced tea and mango One of them is like part mucho mango. Oh, yeah, I've had that one. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Half and half iced tea and mango is their lowest ranked on this list of taste and tasting table. They're actually giving that and Arnold Palmer half and half, which is, I have to say, just based on seeing the iconic can many different places. Those have to be a couple of their most popular right yeah yeah those are those are getting the lowest marks and then you know uh up top you got your like number five is iced tea with lemon flavor which is that's the high who's no that's number five that's no okay the the green tea with ginseng and honey is number three but that and that's like one of the more iconic cans with like the cherry blossom yeah that shit has like there were so many i feel like reebok did a shoe based on that can like that can is like it's basically the new aesthetic it's like the solo fucking jazz cups yeah you know it's like the solo fucking jazz cups. Yeah. You know, it's like the Arizona iced tea can vibe.
Starting point is 00:51:47 But the, the whole thing, like we, this article came out right in the aftermath of the sugar episode we did earlier. And I was just like, okay, so what,
Starting point is 00:51:56 what are, what are we looking at for total sugar? Like one of the, the Arnold Palmer, they're like, it just tastes like watered down and like kind of sucks compared to the one with just lemon flavor. And like that one had the big one.
Starting point is 00:52:10 The one that they like that's in the top five has 59 grams of sugar, which like the daily allotments 24, whereas the Arnold Palmer only has 44. only has 44 so this is the thing man like the more i get in touch with what my actual health needs to be and what is healthy yeah i'm always fucking horrified looking at labels because them also the amount of salt and shit yeah i'm i can't fucking believe sometimes i'm like what the fuck i'm getting 40 of my salt from this like one thing oh fuck that uh but i like it's and i think what it is it's so super freaky to me because i think on some level right i have this like childish idea that well they sell it in the stores because it's like it can't be that bad for you otherwise they couldn't sell it but that's not how any of this shit works like it's about about making money. And then you put yourself in the, like in these situations and you're like,
Starting point is 00:53:06 wow, this is really, it's almost like you have to work harder and you have to pay even more money. If you want to avoid eating, like, you know, having to consume like massive amounts of any of these ingredients that we're just inundated with.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Yeah, absolutely. The, the number one they gave to black and white iced tea, which is one of the least sugary on it. It's like 14 grams. So you still have sugar left for the day. Okay. So you got a half full of fucking sugar. Okay. Yeah. Again, I've such like weed dealer brain. I'm like, how many grams? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm like, oh, that doesn't look that bad. And then you think about it in a Ziploc bag and you're like, oh, shit, that's in one can? Yeah. If I'm guessing, this is not, none of these are drinks that you use as pre-workout.
Starting point is 00:53:55 No, no, I don't. But, you know, when I was going to Barbell, you know, we got like some power lifters. And, you know, to get energy mid-workout you want like this like uh rush of sugar and carbs so they would just eat gummy worms now i'm about to be like hey maybe y'all need to bust out wait people are eating gum wait hold on you got to put me on because i i don't i don't the only gym i've been near is i don't even know jim marie the children's clothing yeah yeah yeah you you know, because when you're gassed out and you're kind of like, you need
Starting point is 00:54:28 a little more kind of like sugar and like carbs to kind of like get some more energy, they'll crank a gummy worm. I'd be too worried that people would compare them to my legs and arms.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Hey, fella, look at that. What are you eating your legs there buddy these are gummy worms yeah yeah yeah bodybuilders prefer gummy bears because they are sweetened with ingredients like dextrose and corn syrup both of which are fast absorbing carbohydrates because these ingredients don't have to be broken down through the digestive process they are quickly absorbed into the blood and utilized by the muscles. If he wasn't just reading, by the way, his eyes just rolled back in his head and that all just came out of his brain. My neck got extra veiny. He just warped
Starting point is 00:55:15 into the mind of a health fitness expert. That's the kind of shit I would hear when I'm 17 and be like, oh yeah, gummy bears is a fucking workout food. Yeah. That's why I eat them every day and don't work out. Like, just because I read this one thing
Starting point is 00:55:30 that it's a bodybuilder's secret. Yeah. Oh, shit. Well, now you're going to see, hopefully see Arizona iced tea cans. Yeah, yeah. I'm near you. Just pop that off with all them sugars.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Well, Ify, as always, such a pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Ify Wadiwe on Twitter and Instagram.

It's actually a game called Duster, which is a tabletop game that's a post-apocalyptic Western with some dope friends and comedians.
Starting point is 00:56:09 You know, Owen Bones from Mystery School will be doing some stuff there. And we got my buddy Johnny Stanton, who used to play for the Bears. Anika Sealy, a hilarious comic. Christina Ariel, who hosts all of the Star Wars celebration type beats. So definitely come check that out. It'll be good. And we're going to fund it.

So it's easier to combo. Got it. And you still play against the other people.

Starting point is 00:58:25 other setup but i know a lot of people who like used to play back in the day who come in and they're not trying to you know go to evo or anything they're just trying to have fun they've really liked the modern fight mode because it just kind of makes it a little a little less like intense okay amazing okay i'll take that miles where can people find you what is work media you've been enjoying oh twitter instagram at miles of gray uh if you want to find uh some basketball talk check out our basketball podcast miles and jack got mad also if you want to hear me talk about 90 day fiance check out sophie alexandra and i on 420 day fiance uh and yeah i mean uh i'm like right now i'm just still watching the other two
