Starting point is 00:08:40 How you been? What's up? Yeah, you're doing right? The fuck is up. What did you do for Labor Day? What I do for Labor Day? Such a good question. I went in a pool.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Oh, nice. Classic. Hell, yeah. Yeah, you got to. Classic pool, labor dive. Boom. That's called making combo. Next question.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Was it wet? It was a little wet. Okay, okay, okay, cool. We got a podcast going now. Okay, all right. Let's riff on this. Molly, what's something that surprised you about Jenna Jameson's rise? We're just going to be this podcast.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Oh, so you're doing a documentary about Jenna Jameson. Hey, that's pretty cool. I was an expert in Jenna Jamison myself. I was a fan. Miles and I are high-fiving over here, just splashing each other with our sweaty palms. Yeah, this should be more like a drive-time podcast from 1995. Yeah, I can do that. We do our best.
Starting point is 00:09:37 We're not even trying to do it, and it is. Well, wonderful to have you, Molly. We're going to get to know you a little bit better at a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. Congress is back. and we get to talk about Epstein again. They were on break, plugging their ears. And so the Epstein story went away.
Starting point is 00:09:56 No, there's been some developments. So we're going to talk about the latest there. We're going to talk about the hot mic moment between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, where they were like, I will live forever. Will you live forever? Yes, I will. I can. We will all live forever.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I'm going to at least 150, probably, so. I mean, at least. And like, that's just being. And Vladimir Putin talking about how you can get so many of your organs transplanted that the older you get, the younger you get. I don't even know how that fucking works. Yep, yep. I don't even know how that theoretically was working in his mind as he said that.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah, dude. We'll talk about that. Exactly. Talk about AI Luigi Mangione. All of that, plenty more. But first, Molly Lambert, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? that's revealing about who you are? Well, I saw Dr. Faustis at the Griffith Park, Shakespeare, free Shakespeare outside.
Starting point is 00:10:56 And then I was just reading about Dr. Faustus and people selling their soul to the devil. And, yeah, I don't know. I was just learning a lot about it. Is that the first deal with the devil in fine art we get? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like based on a German, legend but um it's the first uh and then the coined misery loves company oh and i was just reading about christopher marlowe who wrote it and he's a fascinating dude he was maybe uh gay he was maybe a spy
Starting point is 00:11:31 he was killed i hear that guy was a party animal molly is that true that guy fucking liked to party is that true well you saw your soul to the double you have a lot of party energy hell yeah and yeah i mean i was also definitely reading all the trump conspiracies when people thought he was dead for like a day. Right. Yeah. That was an exciting day. We were all really excited for one day.
Starting point is 00:11:54 What was the thing that got you, though? You kept going, hmm? Maybe. Maybe I'll stay a little bit more invested in this. Someone convinced me in real life. They were like, here's why. It's definitely true. And I was like, look, I really want to believe you,
Starting point is 00:12:07 but I just feel like he's going to pop out at a press conference and be all normally talking. And that's what happened. Then it was like, womp, womp. I mean, you got to... Wait, but what was the thing? What did they tell you? What was like sort of the point of information? Like, oh, I heard he sold his soul to the devil to get all this power.
Starting point is 00:12:28 That's a pretty good bargain. Just like that he hadn't been seen in a couple of days. I think my... The main thing that was convincing me was like, that man loves a patriotic holiday. Yeah. If there's somewhere, he can be on like a, you know, boat parade with an American flag. He's not there. Being jingo fat.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Yeah, something must be wrong. But I was also like maybe he's getting that like Lindsay Lohan face lift. Oh, the Chris Jenner. Oh, right. Yeah, the deep-plane face left. I feel like you can't as a president get a facelift because it requires you to be out of the limelight for too long. I don't know, man. Biden was showing up high and tight a lot of different time.
Starting point is 00:13:10 That's true. Yeah. He's just like, yo, man, where'd your eyes go? Yeah, totally. Here's an, I'm alert. Oh, cool. Jack Nicholson impersonation you're doing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:22 And I was like, it would be kind of funny if Trump showed up, like, you know, nothing's going on. And he just looks like 1985 Trump all of a sudden. The body is melting underneath his face. Well, yeah, of course. His body's obviously melting underneath his face. Yeah. Well, if you get some organ transplants. In Dr. Faustus, I'm actually not familiar, is, do, do,
Starting point is 00:13:45 Do they go to a crossroad? Like, how much of the sold soul to the devil stuff that we know today originates? They don't go to the crossroads, but the devil just kind of pops up and it's like, hey, let me give you, I got this amazing deal for you. You'll get to do whatever you want. You can do necromancy for 24 years. And then at the end of the 24 years, the devil's going to drag your soul down to hell. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:07 And you'll be in hell for eternity. But the play is really good and funny. And a lot of it's just a- four years. I don't know, but it's very, I was like, everybody would do that because it's like Klarna. Everyone would be like, okay, I'll pay that off later. Exactly. This is just a metaphor for all of America. Oh, should I'm five years in? Dude, I've got 19 more years. Oh, sick, man. And now, and they know you won't be able to pay it back, just like the devil. Clarna knows you won't be able to pay it back. They just own you now. I mean, there's kind of like, wow, it's so fun to do. And then at the
Starting point is 00:14:44 It's like, oh, no. I see so many people wrecking their credit with that shit, like, online, who are like, you don't have to pay that shit back. And they're like, what are they going to do? They're not even based in the U.S. It's like, they sell your debt to a U.S.-based company. You fucking kidding me. Just heard one time on social media.
Starting point is 00:15:00 They actually can't do anything. They're not based in the U.S. Oh, is that how that works? In Ireland. Oh, okay. Tell me more about global capital. You could roll the dice, though, and be like, oh, things might fall apart more and they won't know where to find you.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, yeah, of course. I mean, there's a lot of people who definitely, I know people who think like that. 24 years is so weirdly specific. And also it's the same amount of time that I did my deal with a guy who just popped out of nowhere and offered to give me the life of my dreams. He said that explains a lot about you, Jack. He sold me on something called a Faustian bargain. But he said he was quite the bargain. I just heard I'll stop listening at Bargain.
Starting point is 00:15:40 He's like, you'll give you a podcast. Yeah, exactly, a podcast. I didn't know that there were, I didn't, it was like a real Monkees Paw thing where back when I did the deal, there were only like a handful of podcasts. I didn't know everybody was going to have a podcast. It's kind of a bum, right, bum deal now. Fuck, I should not have sold my soul for this. Well, you're going to have a good 24 years and then.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah, yeah. What year did you say you're on? Don't worry about it. All right. We might have a really cool finale this year. Coming up on 23. Are you sweating blood? Nope.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And that is not one of the side of the side effects. I thought I filed him down last night. Molly, what's something you think is underrated? Underrated. I think eating, God, I always just say the same five things. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:16:36 breakfast for dinner. It's underrated. You better not say soup. Soup is so true, though. I'm going to say underrated because it's so overrated that it becomes underrated again, a little seasonal beverage. Okay. I had a pumpkin spice latte yesterday.
Starting point is 00:16:58 It was like 100 degrees out, and I got the first pumpkin spice latte from Café de Leche in Highland Park. The very first? First of the season. It was so good. It was so good. And it made me be like, you know what? One day it'll be cool. Yeah, you're somehow, you're going to cool down.
Starting point is 00:17:15 You were wearing white linen suddenly with like a big brown felt hat, wide brim felt hat. Oh, my God, the fuck happened to me. One sip. You know, when it's September, I'm like, it's got to be, we got to, we got to get this fall thing going. Oh, but we can't. It's L.A. Like, it's just going to be fucking hot as fuck. Don't say that.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I made a deal with the devil to kill. And weirdly it relies on you not saying that. That's why there was a rainstorm yesterday. Yeah, weird rainstorm that like, you know, super producer Catherine had her power knocked out where she lived and where I am, it was like completely the skies were blue and it wasn't even windy. Wait, it was raining. I mean, I thought she was joking. I thought she said it was in my life. Yeah, where my wife was working, there was a thunderstorm. There was like a full on thunderstorm happening. Oh, well, good for them. Yeah, exactly. Good for you. Um, overrated day drinking. I think day drinking is the most depressing thing in the world.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Any, any liquid? Like, are we talking full Ramadan? No, no, I mean, alcohol. Like, when people are like, let's get drunk at noon, because it's a holiday. I find all that stuff like, man, you're going to, we're not going to do something later. No, you're not. Yeah. I, uh, yeah, I really liked to drink when I did drink and day drinking it's like it was bad for me because i just you know i'd be at the lights would be out behind my eyes by like three o'clock yeah yeah yeah who the fuck knows what's going to happen yeah it's unnatural no yeah it's not good or if you just don't even drink to that point you're you get that kind of version of like drunk where you like have a headache already by yeah you're like what the fuck and it's bright outside not i remember when i would watch more
Starting point is 00:19:09 for like English Premier League games, like live, there would be like 430 kickoffs, and I would go to this pub. Shout out the Fox and Hounds. And by the time you emerged, it'd be seven and I would be hungover because I was drinking since 430. And that was one of the worst. I guess that's the worst feeling. Yeah, yeah. When you're coming out of a bar, when you walk in dark, you come out when it's bright, you're hungover, it's Tuesday. You don't have a job.
Starting point is 00:19:35 You know, Obama's barely president. And it's just that everything's not going to like. Premier League is fucking fucking. Oh, yeah, fucking complex. Fuck it up. Fuck it up. I'm realizing I never once had that problem because once I started drinking, I just kept drinking.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Yeah. And if that describes you, think about not drinking anymore. It's really great. I highly recommend it. Very helpful. Yeah, so drinking seasonal beverages, a little, little. Yeah, drinking seasonal beverages up. Under.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Getting drunk in the bright, heart. Harsh light of day. Harsh sunlight. Yeah. Don't do it. Keep your guard up. Got to be hydrated. Head on a swivel.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Keep your neck protected. Hey, is that a beer? Uh-uh. Deny, deny, deny, deny. You know who's going to offer you that day? You know what's going to offer you that day drink? The devil. The devil.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Exactly. He's like, you know what, make this party real cool? You know what this kid's baby shower that you don't know, barely would make this real cool? Drink these right now, a lot of them. The very end of my drinking, we were going to meet up with a baby for the front. Like, my wife was pregnant. My wife was pregnant with our first. And we were going to meet up with a baby.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And I was like, I should probably- Like, we had to go meet up with a baby. It was like our friend had a baby. And she was like, I do feel like part of her was like, is this going to be able to like hold a baby at this point? And your wife was pregnant? And you were just like, bobble in the baby. Yeah, but I needed a drink to go meet the baby.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And that's when I realized, maybe I should not drink anymore. This baby's going to fucking know I'm a loser when they seem. Exactly. What am I going to say to this baby? I need the gift of gab here. Babies do kind of like look through your soul sometimes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I'm regularly. That baby will read you with its eyes. Regularly, I lose staring contest to babies, like in public places. Because, like, you know, someone will be holding a baby and the baby's looking behind the parent. It looks behind and then you, it's making eye contact with you. And it's like, yeah. And it's like, you are so intense about those staring contests with the babies. And I go, you fucking blinked.
Starting point is 00:21:55 You're fucking out. You fucking liar. Fuck you. So I'm sorry. It's cheating, babe. And then the parents like, oh my God, what did you say to my child right now? I go, I'm sorry. Do you know my story?
Starting point is 00:22:05 My infant nearly died in a drug. fire, okay? After mass shootings. Now leave me the fuck alone. I just won that staring competition. Yeah, you're like, let me fight your baby in peace. Exactly. Hey, make it a fair one.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Hey, no fucking don't jump in. What's going on between me and your baby has nothing to do with you. Has anybody asked him follow up questions about the drug? I am just like worried about his baby getting that drug fire. Oh, I mean, it was basically revealed that he's a liar. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TV. EWA terminal.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and order, criminal justice system is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even. harder to stop. Listen to the new season of law and order criminal justice system on the
Starting point is 00:23:42 iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't is a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same
Starting point is 00:24:20 age. It's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself.
Starting point is 00:24:45 My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin, so, like, it's not, like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one explains. expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house.
Starting point is 00:25:20 So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the I-Heart. radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Joy Harden-Bradford, and in session 421 of therapy for black girls, I sit down with Dr. Athea and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Because I think hair is a complex language system, right, in terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, you're a spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyperfixation. observation of our hair, right, that this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our community, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela
Starting point is 00:26:30 Neil Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. We're back. And so is Congress. Yes. From summer break. Adults who get summer break and aren't T-shirts.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Yeah. Remember, they cut out... T-shirts. They cut out early, remember, in July, in a panic, like, that's it. You guys are talking too much about Jeffrey Epstein. We're done. We're going to fucking... summer camp now and then come back in September because they wanted to avoid just making this
Starting point is 00:27:09 a thing and having to vote on it. Well, now they're back from like you're saying up top, plugging their ears and not trying to come to grips with reality. And Democrats are also included in that. And they have some major business to tend to, like first averting another government shutdown. They'll need 60 votes in the Senate. So that means they'll need help from Democrats to get their, you know, get their spending in order to avert a shutdown. We'll see how that goes. That'll be an ongoing story for the next few weeks, I'm sure. I mean, the Democrats are tough as nails, so I feel like they're really going to hold them, hold their feet to the fire. Okay, you guys promise not to do that stuff?
Starting point is 00:27:42 Okay, I'm really going to trust you now. I'm really going to trust you now. And anyway, so then the other thing that's on most people's minds, despite Trump, wanting everyone to forget about it, is the Epstein files. So here's just a quick roundup of everything that's just happened even in the last week. So first, Republicans released a huge fucking tranche of documents to be like, look, see, these are, we got these from the DOJ. And even some Republicans like Thomas Massey were like, we've seen 97% of this stuff already. So nice try to pretend to be like, see, okay, can we move on to like racism yet? No.
Starting point is 00:28:20 So then also, the Republicans on the House Oversight and government reform committee have subpoenaed the Epstein estate for documents like a. a client list or if there's anything resembling a client list. Uh, the birthday book that had the Trump drawing on it. Uh, and those should all be, but they're supposed to be delivered to Capitol Hill by next Monday. The eighth is like a weird estate sale. It's like, ooh, those items are of much interest to me, a collector who's a pervert. How much do you want for this golfing polo?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Okay. I'll take that. I'll take that. This is, actually, this is my size. Uh, and then also the, So the panel is going to interview Alex Acosta, the former U.S. attorney of South Florida, who is the one who cut that strange deal, non-prosecution deal. After, you know, his arrest for child sex crimes in 2006, the committee has also subpoenaed the Clinton, the Clintons.
Starting point is 00:29:17 But no Donald Trump quite yet, so we'll see what happens there. Thomas Massey and Roe Kana are still pursuing the release of the documents in that, like, searchable format for the public to. see. So Massey filed what's called a discharge petition for the, quote, Epstein Files Transparency Act on Tuesday, which would basically force a vote on the floor if 218 representatives signed on to this discharge petition. Rokana has said all 212 Democrats will sign. Massey has said he's got 12 Republicans. So that sounds like they've got the numbers. To date, it has 134 signature including Massey and three other Republicans, which are believed to be Nancy Mace,
Starting point is 00:30:04 Marjorie Taylor Green, and Lauren Boebert. Okay. So I'm like, oh, again, but knowing MTC and Bobert and Mace, I'm like a little bit like, you're probably going to use this as a bargaining chip to be like, let me put some pressure on. But I don't know,
Starting point is 00:30:18 this is something Marjorie Taylor Green's been pretty, like, loud about the whole time. She's like, you're going to lose the MAGA base. You can't tell us about elite pedophile cabals and give us nothing. Then on Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee met with a group of Epstein survivors in a closed-door session. Nancy Mace left early and was, like, walking out of the conference committee meeting visibly upset, like in tears. And she mentioned, like, you know, a few years ago that she was drugged and assaulted by an X.
Starting point is 00:30:47 She posted on X, quote, since it's already being reported, yes, I left the oversight briefing with Epstein victims early. As a recent survivor, not two years in, I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. full blown panic attack sweating hyperventilating shaking i can't breathe i feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us god bless all survivors uh is how she signed off on that some people are like oh i wonder what this means if like she's seen the light i mean i don't know i'm sure on some level there it's difficult to probably hear the testimony of these people and then maybe you yourself be like and i'm kind have made my Faustian bargain to not do anything about it so I can just be on the news and
Starting point is 00:31:28 scream about transgender people and it's eating up my insides right now and I think I have to leave I my ankles are melting also yeah what the fuck what the fuck is going on bad for our health it turns out this Epstein scrutiny yeah and Trump is dealing with this by just doing everything he can to make threats like the thing that like all of these are just things that seem transparently like you can't be like I'm against the revelation of like that information
Starting point is 00:32:00 like it just seems so impossible to push back against publicly you know and yet yeah here they are Trump has said from his office they have said supporting the release of the documents would be seen as a quote
Starting point is 00:32:15 act of war that's so wild quote helping Thomas Massey and liberal Democrats with their attention seeking while the DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive fire release effort from the Oversight Committee would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration. What could be more comprehensive than just releasing the documents and letting people look at them? Right, exactly. And that's-
Starting point is 00:32:38 This is what Thomas Massey has said basically about that being like, well, look, man, like maybe here's a thought that would absolve Trump or clear his name, if at all possible. He's been given. I think the best way to clear President Trump's name is to release all the files. I actually don't think he's done anything criminal. I think he may be covering for some rich and powerful people that are friends of his. And in fact, some of those billionaires are running ads against me in Kentucky right now. One of them is in Epstein's Black Book.
Starting point is 00:33:10 So we're, you know, we're getting close to the center of power here. And I think, you know, embarrassment is not a reason to conceal all. of this stuff. We've got to get it out in the open, regardless of whose friends might be incriminated. Embarrassment. Yeah, that's what this is about. Let's not embarrass all the rich fellas who are criminals. Right. He's giving them like this sort of rhetorical out on the news that I've seen on conservative news being like, well, you know, he might just be mixed up with the wrong people. And, you know, he's just trying to make sure these guys don't catch any strays while everything's brought to light. And he's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:50 I think that's, he's like, I don't think he did anything bad. I think he's just, he's just helping out some friends right now. Although, like he just happened to be there and he's innocent. Right. He's a good boy. He's like a rich kid who gets caught doing something bad. And like the parents, attorneys are like, your honor. He's a good boy.
Starting point is 00:34:10 He was at the trap house, but just as a friend. Yeah, he was there supporting his friend, trying to pull his friend out of the trap house. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it's all not stopping. Mike Johnson, he's trying, he's been like, we're going to have a, we'll have some kind of vote on that on Friday.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Well, we will look to bring more transparency to this Epstein documents. I don't know what he's, and he's just, he's saying the things that make him sound like a normal person. He's like, I believe transparency is absolutely important for all the, for all the victims of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. But he's not, he's doing fuck all in terms of practice. And I think that's the hard bit is like, it's going to slow. up the business of, especially the House of Representatives until they resolve this on some level. I just don't know what, in what capacity. They're just going to make it go away, I think. They're going to be like, well, we saw it. The end. I don't know what, but there's too many people who are like, I've already seen these documents that are Republicans, right? And I'm curious,
Starting point is 00:35:08 there is a version where I think. They're just going to, they're going to swallow it and just, you know, like, what's her name, Nancy Mace? Like, yeah, she's all upset because she had to confront that She's a demon. Yeah. You know, like, and be a human being for a second. But, like, by tomorrow, she's going to be like, yeah, I don't care. Yeah, it's fine. I think the most craven thing would be for all of them.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And that's why I believe it's possible is that this is just a way to extract something from the White House to be like, no, I'm all in on this. Unless you give me this right now or down the road. And then we can. For sure. And I've said before on this show, but it's like the third rail of this thing is that Epstein was CIA. and they were, the government is who was letting him do this for reasons that I still find
Starting point is 00:35:53 very strange. It's like, why would you have to run a full scale pedophile honey trap operation like, just do the catch a predator, just get people to come to the room where you said there'd be a 12 year old and then when they get there, they're like, there's no
Starting point is 00:36:09 12 year old, you fucking idiot. Mm-hmm. Right. But they had the 12-year-olds, which is insane. The Alexander Acosta interview is very interesting to me, not that, like, they'll ever ask the important questions or, but, like, I am curious to, like, one of the quotes from him at the time, so, you know, at the time that he, because Trump, you know, after he let Epstein off with, like, a historically lenient deal for what he had done, then, you know, Trump appointed him to a cabinet position
Starting point is 00:36:40 and an anonymous source claim that when Costa was vetted for his cabinet post in the Trump administration, He stated, I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone, you know, when people were like, well, why did you let him get away with this, like, minor, minor prosecution and a stipulation that anybody that was touched at all by, you know, those implicated in his actions, like, could not be prosecuted. Like, just a, that's, that's one of the most suspicious aspects of this entire thing. Right. The fact that they're interviewing him is very, very compelling. No, it's the third real. And, like, Gilein's sisters, married to a guy who developed some kind of, like, Israeli spying program that steals all your data. And when Gilean's father died, like, the people at his funeral was like a who's who of the intelligence community. Yeah, it's all massad. They play golf together, guy. What is wrong?
Starting point is 00:37:46 If I can put my Tim Dillon hat on these, I'm like, they're all friends, all right? And I'm friends with MBS. They're goofy, they're goofy guys, these guys. You know, they just got to let this go. That's all true. Like that picture of Geelaine at, you know, Chelsea Clinton's wedding or whatever. It's like rich people protect each other. That's the big reveal.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Yeah, right. Exactly. It's like, I think people I say it's like, we can learn from the class solidarity of the elite. yeah totally they have each other's back no matter what great if they revealed shit about the clinton's like you know whatever they're role in this one like that would be great to like fuck this version of the democratic party and bring it all out revealed yeah just bring it all out i mean i i don't think the democrats will clean house no matter how obvious it is they should do that they're fighting tooth and nail to not talk about zorin mumdani right now yeah they're no fucking about that they're
Starting point is 00:38:45 They're more mad at Missouran than that Bill Clinton was on the Lolita Express, like 300 times. They're just goofy. You know, they're a goofy guys. They're goofy guys who like to fly private. And with Clinton, they're always just like, you know, he's a charismatic. He's a ladies man. He's a charismatic predator? You know, like, what?
Starting point is 00:39:07 They do they're Trump, too. They're just like, you can't. He's just, he loves the ladies. Okay, that's like a dated term from the 50s. for serial predator. Yeah. It's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:18 he's a ladies man, parenthetical, prolific predator. All right. He's an Apex Predator. Hey, speaking of Apex Predator, let's talk about Vladimir Pum.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Mm-hmm. You know, during the pandemic, I remember this being a story that, like, he was officially freaking out. Like, he was, like,
Starting point is 00:39:38 would not allow people around him, was not seen for, like, the entirety of the pandemic, was very, like, germ-focused. And, you know, it seems like he might have some of the same fears, fear of his own mortality and inability to grab with his own mortality that a lot of that Trump seems to have that a lot of these kind of strong men, people who are so desperate to dominate the planet seem to have.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I mean, let's also not forget, he famously has his poo poo collected whenever he leaves Russia, you know? Yeah. But that's a security concern, man. The stuff I would do with that guy's poo-poo. Oh, yeah. Pooh Putin. Don't even get me started. Yeah, so Putin and Kim Jong-un went down to China for Xi.
Starting point is 00:40:29 President Xi Jinping had like a fucking military dick measuring contest where he unveiled all kinds of nasty, scary killing machines for his two buddies. And Putin and Xi were caught on a hot mic like while like these guys. were talking and this is what they were saying to each other. Quote, as Putin and Xi walked toward the Tiananmen Rostrom where they viewed the parade with Kim, Putin's translator could be heard saying in Chinese, biotechnology is continuously developing. The translator added, after an inaudible passage, human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become. And you can even achieve immortality. In response, she who was off camera can be heard responding in Chinese, quote, some predict that in this century humans may live
Starting point is 00:41:15 to 150 years old. Now, I don't know what she is thinking here. Is he being polite because some maniac just said he could do like the ship of Theseus to its insides? Or is he also on the same page? I think it's the latter probably because if anything, these people are so starved for power. Like the only thing worse than death is to not have power. So it's like, well, if I can if I can live forever, then I'll never lose power.
Starting point is 00:41:40 But if I die, I'll lose power. You see how that works? It's also like they get, they've had. they've had so much they're like what's next living forever like all the tech guys get into that too just like who wants to live forever especially when the things are not going to get more good what what fucking vampires like man it's been a blast no to be honest not dying for centuries it's been right uh watching many loved ones pass away constantly i mean that you're talking that's what vampires say you know yeah yeah right like i have seen ages passing
Starting point is 00:42:14 Maybe that's all, maybe, yeah. Do you think Putin and she, like, see vampire movies? Like, dude, that sounds fucking sick. So sick. Yeah, for sure. Yes. I want to leave my. Like, Faustian bargain?
Starting point is 00:42:26 Sign me up. Yeah. Just change my insides out, man. And I become younger. Hey, could you like, could I stop in for a quick pit stop so you could change my insides out? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. What do you want? They've all got blood boys for sure.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Oh, yeah. Oh, God. Blood boys as far as the eye. can see. Oh, yeah. We talked on an episode, I think it was the week that you were out maybe Miles about this multi-billion dollar industry that's like largely spurred by the guy who created the X prize for like space travel and his next thing is like an X prize for immortality essentially. And he's this big, you know, he's super focused and like invested in all of these like life extension, immortality, like the cutting edge of science.
Starting point is 00:43:14 and like basically what they found is that like you could like maybe get up to close to a hundred but all of the all the rich people are essentially like maxed out already like all the rich people are already like doing like cellular transfusions it's like death becomes her it's like you're good and then one day your skin falls off yeah right oh great movie you shouldn't a great movie and also just it's so crazy too you're just like all this money and all this power these people have they could be solving climate change, homelessness, poverty, hunger. Yes. They're like, no, I got to live longer.
Starting point is 00:43:51 I got to spend it all this shit. So I can extract more capital from poor people. Yeah, there's a quote by like one of the doctors who works with them that's like they spent their health getting rich and now they're spending their riches getting health again. No, it's like, you know, guys, do you guys know Elizabeth Bathory? She's like the vampire countess. So it's like she killed, killed young women and bathed in their blood to stay young. Right. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:44:17 That's not great. It's just that. It's literally, it's like, I mean, who knows? Does she, Gillane? Is she walk among us still, you know, possible? You look at all the historical images. You're like, that's Galane. That's why they can't show us the Epstein files is because it'll be like, they're vampires.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Oh, God, that walk among us, yeah. Fully. Yeah, they're like, Henry Kissinger offed himself, but he was a vampire. That's why he lived so long. He definitely was. I don't know why these evil people live. so long. Vampires.
Starting point is 00:44:44 They're willing to do whatever it takes. Yeah. That is, well, man. Yeah. They don't lie awake at night feeling bad about doing horrible things. That is the kind of a comfort, though, to think of like a fucking billionaire who has everything and can do whatever the fuck they want whenever, that they'll never actually achieve the thing they're most afraid of or like want to obtain most, which is immortality.
Starting point is 00:45:06 And like, I'm sure when they're spending all that money, if they're fucking knee hurts, like, what the fuck? What the fuck is going on? My stomach. It hurts. Being their concierge doctor must be a fucking nightmare. I mean, I'm sure it's okay because you're getting paid like a million dollars a year to be like Jeff Bezos's doctor. Be like, yeah, you just need more steroids, man.
Starting point is 00:45:26 He just calls you in the middle of the night at all times being like, what the fuck, dude? I've got a hang nail. What is this shit? But yeah, I was going to say, like the addendum to that like spent their health getting wealthy and, are spending their wealth getting healthy again is like, you know, the way that they got wealthy was like destroying the fucking planet. And so they're like
Starting point is 00:45:48 killing other people and then being like, all right. And now it's time to like make it so that we can live longer. Oh, too late. In a tiny bubble of survivability on this planet that we've completely fucking destroyed. Yeah. Classic villain
Starting point is 00:46:04 activities. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's like not, I don't know. Like all the villains are kind of the same. We were talking about how like a lot of the movie villains and like Superman and like from Superman to naked gun, the movie villains this summer were all like Elon Musk coded. Yeah, yeah. And it's just because yeah, well, like we have actual, actual villains. These are Lex Luthor. No, we got real life supervillains. Yeah. Like how do you beat Jeff Bezos? Yeah, we got all the villains and none of the superheroes. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of is a shudder. deal.
Starting point is 00:46:41 All the Lex Luthor's and no Superman. Yeah. But I've been told by this guy I just met that I can if I just like make a little deal with him I'd be able to get like some superpowers.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Well I think uh, well, is you say how long it would be for? Would it be? 24 years. Oh, that's a good deal. I think that's a good.
Starting point is 00:47:00 That number keeps coming up. Yeah, I think that's a great deal. Actually, you should definitely do it. To Thanos snap the oligarchs? Yeah. Why not? It's a, the power I get is lucid dreaming. sure i could like turn that into something cool
Starting point is 00:47:12 was it dreaming and yeah vaguely the gift of gab here's the deal devil uh i want to fart less is there anything you can do for me here my soul that's it that was you know that was like a big hitler thing he was he was uh extremely flatulent and like his a lot of the drug like hard drugs that were prescribed to him were purportedly to treat his, like, extreme hyperflatulence. I mean, I need meth to treat my hyperflatulence. That's wild because, from what I understand, taking those kinds of uppers is bad
Starting point is 00:47:54 for your GI practice. Plus because the uppers that you're referring to were cut with a baby laxative, I think. Oh, oh, okay, okay. You're not fucking smoking pure ass, like, Bayer Labs. Nazi meth. Do you think he had, yeah, you think he had like Bayer Labs making his meth and shit? Like, who was making, who was Hitler's meth connect?
Starting point is 00:48:15 I know they had, like, they were making massive quantities of meth. Like, a lot of their soldiers were on meth. Who made the meth for the Nazis? I mean, it feels like, because I'd be like, you can trust it's an industrial. Oh, it was probably it was going to be, it was like IBM. Right. It was, it was called Purvitan, made by the Temler Pharmaceutical Company. Great.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Great. Timler. You can trust us again. Yeah. Temler, Hitler's first choice. Ah, that's not a good fucking hook. Look for the brand. So I think we've got a pivot.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Yeah. Endorsement. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. airport. The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal glass.
Starting point is 00:49:28 The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and order criminal justice system is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System
Starting point is 00:49:57 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My boyfriend's professional. is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him?
Starting point is 00:50:39 Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed. Hello, Ed.
Starting point is 00:50:58 I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not like... What do you get? when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club. I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up,
Starting point is 00:51:15 but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. On 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and in session 421 of therapy for black girls, I sit down with Dr. Othia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our eyes. identity, mental health, and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right? In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, you're a spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair,
Starting point is 00:52:23 right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel. It's how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our community. the pressure to always look put together and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying,
Starting point is 00:52:42 don't miss Session 418 with Dr. Angela Neil Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to therapy for black girls on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. We're back. and we're back folks
Starting point is 00:53:04 and yeah so Luigi Mangio if you were shopping on Sheehan I was in the past couple weeks you may have noticed a shirt being modeled by a handsome very recognizable face that might have seemed
Starting point is 00:53:20 a little out of great eyebrows one Luigi Mangione I mean get your bag Louis wait that doesn't quite make sense right because you imagine he was like talking to his lawyer he's like, look, if it's a bag, let's just get it. I can...
Starting point is 00:53:35 You're going to need to pay me all that. I'll do a selfie. Yeah, someone will have to boof a cell phone to get it in here, though. This is interesting. Weird that he's like being used as a shirt model because he's like famously a shirtless guy. You know, most of his photos on the picture right now. I'm like, well, you know, sell that shirt.
Starting point is 00:53:51 He looks, he looks thinner than his shirtless photos. Yeah. Yeah, no, they have definitely pasted his face onto another body, probably. it's so funny this body language with him with his hand on the back of his neck being like oh golly i'm luigi who me yeah he's given a who me a classic CEO assassin bay oh my gosh anyway do you like this shirt it's on sale the face card does not decline though no no it's still valid as far as i can tell this is so so i'm guessing they didn't find a look alike and it's shitty
Starting point is 00:54:29 AI. Yeah, no, they somebody ran a test and saw that it, uh, BBC Verify used the facial recognition tool Amazon recognition, uh, the C is replaced by K, uh, and found a 99.9%
Starting point is 00:54:45 similarity score between the fake image and a real picture of Mangione's appearing, a Mangione appearing in court. So they used a court photo and we're like, what if he was our guy? Man's looks good. I mean, he does look good. I would say,
Starting point is 00:55:02 has there ever been someone who has this much public support, like globally, but that, like, you're not, like, they, so they,
Starting point is 00:55:12 when this was called out, they had to, like, immediately pull it down. Sure. Which, I don't know. I mean,
Starting point is 00:55:17 I mean, probably, probably because. Like, who, like, who is the most beloved assassin? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Like, who, assassin or otherwise, like, I can't think of anybody. The Rosenbergs? Athlete. Yeah, like the Rosenbergs,
Starting point is 00:55:34 but they weren't that mainstream, as mainstream popular as he is. Like, he's huge in China. Luigi Mangione is, like, plugging enormous in Europe and in China. Yeah, yeah. Like, in what sense? Like, his face or like everything he did,
Starting point is 00:55:48 they know about him? Posted a lot of, yeah, on social media. He's like a Laboooooo. Yeah, exactly. He's like anti-capitalism Labubu. China sends Labo, boo-boos this way, we're exporting Luigi Mangione the other way. And I guess that's a, that's a Faustian bargain, I think.
Starting point is 00:56:05 It's a good bargain. I mean, who is? Michael Jordan? But I mean, he's not, like, Michael Jordan is the most officially you're allowed to, you know what I mean? It's like, OJ, I don't think ever had this cue rate. You know what I mean? I think the closest would be like the,
Starting point is 00:56:28 The early days of Trump, where, like, he was so popular, but it was like, you technically, like, weren't supposed to like him. But he, even his popularity, like, transcends, like, the political spectrum or, like, there's even, like, conservatives who are like, yeah, me, these people are greedy. That's what, like, I think he is, has more pit bull support. It might be pit. That's a really good. That's really, Mr. Worldwide. Yeah. Because I feel like you can see Republicans and Democrats at a pit bull concert.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Yeah. But then, like, if you ask them, were you at a Pitbull concert? They would shrink like that CEO at the Colplay concert. Yeah. Yeah. They'd just be like, what? No. No. Wow. Now I want to now I want to face tune Luigi Mangione. It looks like Pitbull and see what I see what that does to my brain. I think yeah, yeah, yeah. He might, I don't know. It's hard to think of someone that's actually that. Because it's interesting, too, because I think that's the most unique is that he committed a crime. He murdered someone. And people. people are like, eh. Yeah, yeah. They're like,
Starting point is 00:57:31 well, let's take a look at the so many murdered. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. And it's not even like a tongue and cheek thing where like Ted Kennedy and like,
Starting point is 00:57:37 I don't know what happened of that lady in the car. I don't know what's going on. Whereas this is like, yeah, bro. I mean, it's, wrote a manifesto on the bullet.
Starting point is 00:57:45 That's pretty used. Yeah, and people were like, oh, you know, slow clap for the man. Unabomber? Che?
Starting point is 00:57:52 Yeah, the Unabomber might be like, but his, he's getting more popular with, as people are, like yeah let me where if i thought these i where i come across these ideas that i keep having in my head about how bad technology is for everything ah yes the unabomers manifesto but yeah maybe like chay gavara like a little bit but that's still like after it's like in the moment you're
Starting point is 00:58:18 like yo like you know what i mean like the people's reaction to the murder is hooray yeah yeah it's uh we live in strange times you know yeah i feel like it's only like in a movie where some shit like that happens right yeah yeah like the joker in the uh todd phillips joker movie is like that maybe type thing but i mean i don't want to invoke a brilliant text like that so no please not on this show all right uh and finally uh bad news for zora mamadani uh they finally got his ass the democrats endorsed him that would be bad news no so the right and the mainstream Democrats have been scheming. They've been trying to come up with, like, how do we take this guy down?
Starting point is 00:59:01 We're so good at, like, understanding his appeal and just, like, connecting with people and how their brain works. Like, how do we take his ass down? It's funny because, like, what you're saying is, like, they ran through, like, the prescribed list of hit things you do to try and take a politician. It's like, well, okay, do, did you try Muslim? Yeah, we tried Muslim. We said, look, he has a beer, like he couldn't be more Muslim.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Did you say like socialist or communist? Yes, we fucking said they fucking like that shit. He fucking said socialist, dude. They're like, what the fuck do we do? Those usually work immediately. So now they're coming with the heat. His staff members aren't old as hell is the latest attack. The New York Post just published a blitz.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Listering Exposé, blowing the lid off the fact that Mamdani's, quote, core brain trust are 30-somethings or even younger Gen Ziers with little-to-no experience in government. Huh. Yeah, I wonder why they have no experience in government. Yeah, exactly. Because it's full of old goals. Little to no experience in government.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Where have I heard that one before? And also the thing, like, everybody's just begging for, like, outsiders to come in. Yeah. Like, that's why Trump got to. elected seems to be what everybody's hoping for they had they like published a picture of him being like hey what are you going to do yeah like and then like pictures of his staffers underneath and it's like 26 29 34 34 uh this one's 33 30 this one's 36 and they're all cute and they're all fucking bad.
Starting point is 01:00:47 They're all cuteies. What the fuck? What the fuck is this guy thinking? His staffers are too cute. At least big balls was ugliest shit. And 19. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:02 What about the, they weren't so worried about the Doge team being like fucking 19 years old. Well, that's why the attack is completely ineffective. Because like, even on some level, like already conservative.
Starting point is 01:01:16 have already had to like inoculate themselves from attacks about bringing in people with no governmental experience into high positions. So like it's like, I don't know. Yeah, they're fucking 30. I don't know. Big balls is night. I just said big balls. That's what you have. Like they couldn't even find one guy or like one guy called himself ass man 420, but they didn't even have that. No, that's my handle. Also, I mean, like I think it's great to have young people running your staff it feels like you're going to have a vast advantage over Andrew Cuomo's like moribund campaign and like the 60-something consultants that are running that. But the post article itself like points out that out of roughly 20 operatives in
Starting point is 01:02:03 Mamdani's inner circle, eight are under 36 years old. So 12. Eight of 20 are under an age that is enough to like, old enough to have a midlife crisis 36 is not that young that's old enough to like run for president just what a fucking bored group of fucking idiots trying to figure just something
Starting point is 01:02:30 that's going to deflate like the momentum I don't know I honestly at this point they should just I don't know go all in on just Eric Adams or something just let there's you're not going to say anything about mom dani that's going to change anyone's mind that matter at this point.
Starting point is 01:02:47 So just waste your breath saying Eric Adams is good or some shit and then fucking move from there. That's free advice because this shit, eight of 20 are under 30s. Eight of 20 are under the age you'd have to be to be president. We're getting ready for another administration of shocking naivete. That's what they keep. They keep just being going with that.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Like that's what Cuomo had that line a couple weeks ago where it was like, yeah, and free pizza for. seniors. But like, it's like, yeah, okay. Like, first of all, like, student council presidents sometimes do get free pizza for seniors. Like, that's a cool thing that they did. Why don't you start trying to do cool shit that people like, you fucking idiot? Is, like, does one consultant even crunch the numbers on this strategy, right?
Starting point is 01:03:35 Because this perspective on experience is something that only boomers, like, really subscribe to. Who are like, what am I going to? I know everything. I ruined the earth. I know everything. And these kids think they don't know. Okay, so then you're dealing with this finite number of boomers who might give a fuck about this kind of talking point. And then how many of those would actually vote for Mom Donnie or not?
Starting point is 01:03:59 And now you're dealing with a smaller universe of people. So what does this do aside from maybe activate 15 people in New York? Yeah, it just got, you know, they're trying to get the olds up and out. Well, we're coming for you, olds, because, you know, yeah. it's time for the 30-somethings to finally get a chance at doing something in this fucking country. Yeah, they're like these young-ass 36-year-olds. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:24 The fucking, I mean, thank you. They're still like these millennials. It's like, they're not, millennials are old now. I'm fucking 40, dickhead. And I've seen a lot already. So what the fuck do you want to say? You're not responsible enough to be in power. We need a thousand-year-old cool to stay a half.
Starting point is 01:04:43 We need a vampire with it. The sexeries wisdom of watching the degradation of society. Can I just keep a human strapped to me? Is there a way to do that? Like put them on wheels? President Lestat. Right. Molly Lambert, such a pleasure as always having you on the Daily zeitgeist.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, all that good stuff? You can find me Instagram, Molly underscore Lambert, and Jenna World is going to start coming out October 27th, mark your calendars. Molly, what's something surprising. You learned, no. We already did that. We did that.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Have you learned anything that has blown your mind about Jenna and just the porn industry at that time? The thing I learned recently that I thought was really funny was that a lot of super large gangbangs were kind of faked. and there is a woman who had a gang bang that was allegedly 300 people, but it was actually just 30 people and they just
Starting point is 01:05:50 used camera trickery to make it seem like way more people. I'm so furious. This is the 90s, but you don't believe everything you see on screen, maybe. I'm going to have art. I'm not believing everything I see on screen. Gang bangs
Starting point is 01:06:08 are fake. Gangbangs. You rip up your hat. I'm a gangbang truther. I've had my ears plugged to the last like two minutes. What do you guys have? Because I don't, I thought you were trying to say that gangbangs aren't real and I can't. Not my gangbanks. Even when they're all wearing costumes at a Halloween party?
Starting point is 01:06:27 I was thought that was so funny. They said it was 300 people, but there was 30 guys and they just kept bringing the same guys in over and over again. With like different costumes. Yeah. I was like, wow, movie magic. Movie magic. Fugging regular Christopher Nolan over here. The prestige. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?
Starting point is 01:06:47 I mean, Dr. Faustus, to me honest, had a really had a great time. And it had a lot of cool early special effects type things, too, and kind of sent me down. Yeah, I think I was just like, maybe I've got to watch everything about deal with the devil stuff that exists. And I think that new Jordan Peel movie that he produced, him is apparently a deal with the devil.
Starting point is 01:07:12 devil movie. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, which did you ever do me? What's your favorite deal with the devil movie? Uh, I don't know. I'm like, does Scrooge count? Like, not really. But same kind of wheelhouse.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah, yeah. He's lost his soul. Yeah. Yeah, maybe Death becomes her, honestly. Death becomes her a great kind of deal with the devil movie. I've never seen Death Becomes Her. Oh, it's great. And I was saying, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:40 I was saying The Little Mermaid is kind of like, a lady that would be my pick yeah i do love the yeah i love it and she makes a makes a deal with the sea devil such a bad deal yeah why mine's probably the imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Starting point is 01:07:55 amazing amazing choice you guys fucking with that which one is that is that the Dustin Hoffman one Jack if you don't know about it dude just don't even
Starting point is 01:08:09 I don't think Dustin Hawley it's like Keith Ledger and Connie Deppar in that. Yeah, yeah. You're thinking of Mr. Magoriam's Wonder Emporiam. I am thinking of Mr. Maguire's Wonder Empirium.
Starting point is 01:08:21 It's imaginary. Dr. Carnash. Always, yeah, in both cases, that's a very loosely disguised standing for the devil. Yep. All right. Miles, where can people find you?
Starting point is 01:08:33 Is there a work of media you've been enjoying? Yeah, find me everywhere at Miles of Gray. You know, find me talking about 420, or 90s fans. on 4.20-day fiancé. Work immediate. God, I just didn't. I've actually, I've been subjected to so many, like, fragments of K-pop demon hunters
Starting point is 01:08:56 as I was hanging out with my kid and some other kids who just, like, some older kids who kept putting it on, uh, that the fucking songs, man, they don't leave your brain. Oh, yeah, K-pop demon hunters. They don't, they don't fucking leave your brain. They don't. For good or bad. But I'm, I'm enjoying, you know, like, you know, like, You know how, like, sometimes when you're falling asleep,
Starting point is 01:09:14 you kind of just cycle the same thing over and over? I don't know, that's how my brain works as I'm falling asleep. Like, I'll just kind of think about it. I wake up with, like, old snippets of like 90s rap in my head. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I got that with that track Golden. And anyway, for good or bad, better or worse. You mean the number one song in America?
Starting point is 01:09:32 The number one song on Earth, probably. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, that's right, folks. We live in the zeitgeist here at the Daily Zekegeist. I'm about it, okay? When I say I like the number one song on Earth, I like the number one song on Earth.

Starting point is 01:10:23 Problematic cave. Yep. Did you come, did you leave the room and try to come back as Mrs. Doubtfire? You were like, hello. Hello. Daddy. Daddy went away.
Starting point is 01:10:33 What was his special power? Because he kept saying like he's good at voices, but like the voices are just the same kind of. He's like, that raptor rap fucking sucked. It really relies on kids knowing like a Humphrey Bogart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then the rap is the worst approximation of where he just keeps feeling,
Starting point is 01:10:57 I'm a rapt and rap, rap, raping, raptor, yo. And it's just like, what? He's a rippity rap rap rap. I'll be back, but I'm coming as oil. Yeah, that's right. And that's the line. And that's what we call. Mother fucking bars.
