Thanks for having me. I drove here, which is very exciting. From England? From London? From England, yeah. Wow. From London, across the sea.

Yes. Today, I got a hire car this week, so look out, Los Angeles. What kind of, for us ignorant Americans listening, that means rental car. Oh, I thought that meant a car for hire. I was like, oh, okay. You got a little Bitterman driving you around. I call all my drivers Bitterman. What kind of car do you have right now?

Yeah, what kind of Whippy Whippy? Oh, it's a crappy Nissan. Okay. It does the job, but I found this website called Turo. Oh, yeah, yeah. Where you can, it's like Airbnb for cars. And I want to get like a Charger or something. Oh, something sexy.

Oh, something American. I'm going to get a muscle car. I'm going to get myself down to Venice Beach and a muscle car. How do you like driving in LA? I don't mind it because I learned to drive in London, which is insane.

But the left-hand drive doesn't throw you off? It's only when I'm trying to parallel park or reverse park, it's a bit of a problem. But it's okay. And also I'm used to driving in a city like my boyfriend, fiance sorry I should say fiance

we got engaged at Christmas last year of 2018? 2017 a very long engagement well we've been together 11 years oh okay sex in the city

this your big Okay This is my big But we never broke up And he didn't sleep With a model Called Natasha Okay then

He's much better than Big Big was trash Big was trash And then he rescued her In the end Anyway I do want to talk About Sex in the City Later on actually

Oh fantastic So we I know that you'll be All in for that Oh well actually i love sex in the city because i'm a samantha yeah yeah right and true everybody knows oh and please because i like to smoke weed when i have sex sex first feelings later exactly wasn't that her who had to smoke weed because the dude's dick was so big yes smoke a weed. Yes! Don't be so judgmental.

You could use a little backdoor. Well, Tim, we're going to get to know you much better in a moment, but I just want to tell everybody what we're going to talk about today. Some quick stories that we'll get into. 21 Savage has been released. El Chapo has been found so guilty. Ralph Northam is really out here just doing the most. We have more Cardi B and Nikki Beef. The Senate Intel Committee finds no, quote, direct evidence of Russian and Trump

conspiracy collusion, but we'll get into why that really doesn't matter. And many other things, including some maybe Valentine's Day gift ideas for people who are not very thoughtful and just realizing now that they need to get something. But first, Tiff, what is something from your search history that reveals a little bit about who you are? Oh, something from my search history that reveals about who I am. I get obsessed. Historically, this is probably not that interesting,

but if I watch a film or something and I find a character, then I have to go look up the real life character if it's based on them. Then I become obsessed with them. It's almost like I'm in a relationship with them. And then I move on when I find a new film or a new person to obsess about. Okay, so who is the latest person? Who's the latest one that I did? What did I watch recently where I went digging about?

Oh, there was an activist in America. There's a film with Melissa Leo in it. And God, I get off the top of my head. Remember the name of the activist now? I should have. She was kind of active in the civil rights movement, but then also for like reproductive rights and stuff. So I watched this film.

Let's get the name. We'll find out the name of it. The Most Hated Woman in America? Yes, that's the one. Madeline Murray O'Hare? Madeline Murray O'Hare. Yes. Yes, Madeline Murray O'Hare? Madeline Murray O'Hare. Yes. That's it, yes.

Madeline Murray O'Hare. So I watched this film, and it's kind of like a comedy. So I had no idea who Madeline Murray O'Hare was. Just sort of a comedy, watching it, and then it's such a dark turn because it's based on a true life story of this activist, outspoken woman who then ends up being murdered. Sorry, spoiler alert. Uh-oh. Yeah, spoiler alert.

Yeah, and it's just really dark. Limbs are cut off and I'm like, what film am I watching now? So, of course, then I have to go and look this woman up. But then if you go into my search history, it's like activists whose limbs were cut off. Which is quite dark, yeah. You're like, where are the limbs? So that's kind of revealing.

And also I went to the Museum of Death just down the road from here. And so if you look on my search history now, there's just like a lot of serial killers listed. I think that's pretty normal for the age we live in right now. Right. Because it's a way of kind of staving off the fear i think but richie ramirez i think he was the night stalker i was like falling asleep and

then i couldn't lock a door in the house i was in and i gave myself a panic attack so yeah and weirdly i i don't like part of me doesn't want to look at them because i feel like there's kind of a responsibility when i saw the ted bund, there was this, but this isn't funny. Sorry, guys, it's quite dark, but there's a moment. Well, we talk about all kinds of shit. Okay, so there's a moment in the trailer where images of these women pop up

and it's like 16 women and then they just go and then there's this thing about Ted Bundy and I'm like, have we not heard enough about him already? What about those 16 women? What about the lives of them? I had the same thought thought and then when people were calling him sexy and shit i was like are you fucking kidding me this man with paper slits for lips and yeah he looks creepy as shit and yeah it's too much about him he's not interesting he was also a bad killer yeah it was just the 70s

and they had no technology that's the only reason they ain't fine his ass he left dna everywhere i mean he might as well have left some clues or some letters like i was here me ted bundy this is my address like he was a dumb ass yeah yeah i get it yeah yeah i get it sorry i'm agreeing to dick we're saying he's a dick we think he's a dick yeah um but but i was like how about a documentary about what any of those 16 women could have done with their life just i just think it's just sort of relentless and you go wow really if you wanted to get mega famous just kill loads of women apparently that's you're more likely to get your own tv series somewhat symmetrical face and people will fawn over you yeah richie ramirez i don't think he's good looking either but people were obsessed with him girls used to send photos in, like, like,

like, and kind of satanic symbols and stuff like that. So he's got like this folder full of women who, I mean, I know I said earlier, I got engaged in 2017, but there was a point when I saw that

Charles Manson got engaged and got married before me. Like, dude, he's wearing a coat. He can get married. I can't get married. You're telling your fiance, it's like, huh,

Charles Manson was married already. Okay, now I'm hurting, Tiff, because you engaged, Miles got a boo, Anna got a boo, I'm sure Nick got somebody. I'm single and Charles Manson got love and I don't.

We'll find you someone. We'll find you someone. No, no, I'm depressed now. Tiff, what is something that is underrated? Yeah. Oh, underrated. Oh, so Sex and the City was something I wanted to talk about, actually, as an underrated thing. Because I've been re-watching and all of these conversations have been coming up recently about how it's problematic and their views about gender and sexuality.

about how it's problematic and their views about gender and sexuality. And there is an episode where Carrie says, isn't bisexuality just a stopover on the way to gay town? And people are like, oh, this is crazy. Because everyone wants to be super woke now, like borderline insomniac. So people were kind of watching it. But I think what's interesting is about the nuance of that is actually in that episode. As soon as she says it, Charlotte calls her out and says, that's sort of really outdated and you're wrong.

And then Carrie herself says, am I an old fart? Yeah. So she questions herself for having the views. And I think we have this real thing now of like viewing everything, I guess, like imperfect history. Like, so we look at something like that and go, oh no, it's just a problem. When you go, actually it was, and I don't feel like the male dramas

are critiqued in the same way. Right. I think you'd have to throw them all in the trash. Yeah. You'd have to throw the stuff they're making today in the trash. But we hold women to a higher standard, right? And we say that because they're female characters

that it should be better. Yeah. That we have to go in and attack them and pull that part so I think actually it is it's sort of it's underrated in terms of actually some of the stuff that it tackled and it that that was a show that taught us that artists are trash most of them are gaslighting dicks right abusive dicks you know um and Hannah Gadsby recently in a special does a whole bit about picasso but i think sex in the city laid the foreground for a lot of these conversations so i think how it's viewed now is viewed in like it's a bit of a joke and it's not very woke and actually i well yeah i think we've progressed a lot since the show came out or the world that the show is still pretty progressive and also if you think about like the middle

i'm sorry i always call it like the flyover state mentalities like bisexual show is still pretty progressive. And also, if you think about the middle, I'm sorry, I always call it the flyover state mentalities, bisexuality is still called a layover to gayville. It is. I think that they have some problematic episodes with race and stuff and how they treat black people. But I thought that the sexual stuff, they at least tried to tackle in a way that seemed thoughtful. Also, men just hate women having sex on their own volition and wanting to have an orgasm.

That's why they all wanted us to be virgins forever so they could fucking trick us. Two minute lazy huff puff sex and we wouldn't know no better because we'd never had no dick before. So people just hate women.

But I agree with you. People just hate women but I agree with you. Yeah. Oh god, I forgot. There's that episode, isn't there, with Samantha and is it Siobhan, the record executive?

Yes! Oh girl! I love it! There's that episode, isn't there, with Samantha? Is it Siobhan, the record executive? Yes. Oh, girl. There's that line where she was like, she's smoking a joint. And she's like, oh,

I'm surprised. I thought rap had a hard edge. And it's not a rap song. It's an R&B song. It's an R&B song. Sex and the City introduced white ladies

to R&B? Yeah, they're like, ooh. Yeah, by having Samantha describe it as rap. This is so soft and smooth. Oh, my God. So Samantha in the club in her dress slant. Lord Jesus. Well, I think your accents are very underrated as well, Tiff. Well, what's something that is overrated?

Oh, overrated is like a hot take from a celebrity that has been around for ages. Right. Oh, my God. Normally, and I say this as an actress, but I'm also a stand-up comic, is normally an actress will come out and it will be like, I have an opinion. And then everyone goes, oh, my God, this is the best thing that anyone's ever said.

And you go, you know, people have been saying this for ages. Right. We're all ignoring it. Right. Now a super famous person goes, I think there's a problem with Disney films. I think they're really bad role models for girls expecting a man to rescue you. And you're like, hello, feminism. Right.

I just read about this, but I'm going to tweet it out now. Yeah. I must be the first person who's thought this. It really is. And good for them and great, but I just don't understand why everyone, as a comic, because we explore these ideas for years and years and years, within comedy and moral relevantism and all the kind of feminism.

The ideas behind it, unconscious bias, and then someone will have a thought and they just like i say it's not their fault but it's how people respond to it they're like oh my god this is the this is the hottest take that anyone's ever come up with testament to celebrity worship you know where it's just i think just because of the vehicle is the celebrity then people immediately just sort of elevate the like the idea as if it were more profound than something that many people have observed. Yes. Yeah. So that's my overrated. You know, until I get that verified check. And then listen to me.

And then I will never reply to any of y'all. And what is a myth, Tiff? A myth that I'd like to bust. Okay. So I wanted to talk about cloning because I was on Twitter. because i was cloned i was cloned because i was cloned at but like i i do wonder sometimes do you have i don't do you guys have petty eggs here what's a petty egg a petty egg is that for your foot it's for your foot i mean it's my my partner's like that is the most fucking disgusting thing I've ever seen yeah and it collects them it collects your foot shavings oh that has like

the cheese grater with the cheese grater and he's like that's why he thinks it's disgusting you're grating on them feet those heels

you're getting those heels the parmesan heel the parmesan heel what a description yeah so you get the foot shavings and I often wonder if someone could collect

all of that like could they oh right could they clone you from that from your so there was a Yeah, yeah. So you get the foot shavings. And I often wonder if someone could collect all of that. Like, could they clone you from that? So there was a, someone put out a tweet. I get, sometimes I get some crazy right wing men's rights activists, incel type people, MAGA type people on my timeline. If I say something political or make a political joke. Oh, one recently, because I said about Michelle Obama's autobiography, I said I wanted to read it.

And then I thought, I probably won't bother because in about six months, Melania will repeat it verbatim at a rally. Right? So then my timeline just filled up with like crazy, crazy.

And so then I, sometimes for a bit of sport, I go in and look at these people and see what else they're tweeting about. And there's often a crossover with some conspiracy theories. So the one that I saw that popped out to me was someone tweeting about beyonce and they'd put two pictures

of her side by side and they said proof of celebrity cloning this is high level masonic witchcraft oh right two pictures of beyonce next to each other and And I was like, no, no, no. No, this isn't. What's happened here is time and cosmetics. So in one photo, it's like 10 years before and she's not wearing makeup. And in the other, it's like 10 years later. It's like the 10 year challenge. And she's got a full face of makeup on. So their evidence being these two people

look slightly different. And my response to that was what's happened is time and cosmetics. Yeah, nobody had eyebrows in the 90s. We all look different. Yeah. slightly different and my response to that was what's happened is time and and cosmetics maybe it's cloning maybe it's maybelline you know like but it's it's maybe it's cloning maybe it's maybelline so so that's the myth i'd like to bust like there's the cloning isn't yeah i'm glad because a lot of people were believing that about the Masonic program. I mean, yeah, the whole Beyonce and Jay-Z being either in the Illuminati or some kind of Freemasonry cabal of celebrity power movers is just so funny to me. But it's one that a lot of people really are on some like the Illuminati. Because when you get that rich, people just can't fathom how you've managed to amass that much money.

Yeah. And I think conspiracy theories help people sort of relate to their own situation to try and make sense of why they may not be in a position of power or something like that. I mean, a lot of the times there are structures that are keeping people down. But other times it's like, no, they're famous because they did a sacrifice of alia to the illuminati and that's how they got in right that's why dame dash isn't in there personally i want to be in the illuminati tax bracket oh where people just no longer believe that i walk on land and yeah i'm gonna be drawing pentagrams and putting them in the back of instagram stories just to fuck with people just start yeah just throwing up the the rock all the time.

Right, right. Randomly. I'm going to cough and it's just going to be the rock signal. They're like, there it was. Just wear all triangles and then you're good. There is another one out there. If you heard this one, this one is mad. There's a conspiracy theory that Australia doesn't exist.

What? Yeah. We were talking about that. Yes. That apparently, so the deal is, and this originates from, I think, I think it originates from America that, but that you don't fly to Australia. What happens is they put you on a plane, they fly you for ages, and then you land somewhere in America and they've hired Australian actors to meet you at the airport. Yeah, mate, I used to work there. You tend to be Australian. Laser disc.

Yeah, welcome to us, mate. Good on you. I could only say laser disc, so they fired me. Laser disc. They're like, it's not enough, Liz. I was like, what? Oh, man. So, yeah, they turn up, they meet us, like,

all having a go at an Australian accent. Yeah, beautiful. Having a go, mate. Barbie. Yeah, having a go. Laser disc accent. Yeah. Having a go, mate. Barbie. Yeah. Laser disc. Kookaburra.

All you can say is laser disc. Laser disc. Well, yeah. You say Arvo. Arvo. Arvo. Arvo. Yeah. Arvo.

Yeah, all right. We'll workshop that later then. Arvo, yeah, laser disc, Arvo. Well, let's get on to the news then. In immigration news, 21 Savage has been released from ICE custody. Yeah, Sir Savage. One of your people, Tim. Oh, yes.

Yeah, I've been 21 Savage-ing in auditions here. So I just go in and talk like that. There's a very specific type of woman from Los Angeles that I do. It's someone who's been watching. Yeah. Like there's a weird certain Los Angeles women talk like their voice is running out of batteries. Yeah, a little baby. It's that vocal fry.

Yeah, the vocal fry. And you gotta say Los Angeles, Tiff, or they're gonna know. Los Angeles. Los Angeles. Yeah. Los Angeles. I'm so sorry. I feel really stupid.

I've been trying to, I think the type of girl that really watched Marie Kondo and took it on board. This doesn't spark joy. I just paid $400 for it yesterday. So it goes into the goodwill. So that's very exciting. Boom. If you like thrift shopping, because it's boom time for that right now. So Lacey, what happened with 21?

Did we know? Was it Jay-Z's lawyer? Yeah. A lot of people were expecting that the influence from Jay-Z's lawyer? Yeah, a lot of people were expecting that the influence from Jay-Z's lawyer helped get him out. He is on bail, so I think he did have to pay. He wasn't just released for free.

Yeah, he shouldn't have been detained that long to begin with. It's an insane amount of time. He's been detained for how many days? It would have been over a week because it was Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah, in ICE custody where we know people die. Obviously this is not at the border, but still, it's a Bowl Sunday. Yeah, in ICE custody where we know people die. Right. Yeah.

I mean, obviously this is not at the border, but still, it's a dangerous situation. Well, there's no standards for detention. No, exactly. As to what the actual, there's no like, you know, again, there's no standard. It's just like, yeah, I mean, you got him a bed, I guess, and that's enough. And there was a duality in that

because I think a lot of the memes were funny about him being British because none of us knew he was British. But at same time being in ICE custody is so serious and ICE should be abolished and it's just a racist system. Yeah we talked about it just sort of it's also the same process of like trying to de-citizen people of color in this country too whether you're Latino or like through trying to deport them or sort of intimidating immigration policies or racism to chase people out of towns. Like this is just a, you know, this is a thing we've seen come up in our history. Someone else who is making history is El Chapo because he was found guilty somehow.

I mean, I don't know. For me, the jury was still out on this El Chapo. I wasn't sure if he was the drug lord that they thought he was. But yeah, he was found guilty and was looking at life in prison on all counts, pretty much, of running this drug enterprise. And my main question is, I wonder if there will be an attempt to try and have him escape. I guess that's the difference between American jail and Mexican jail. Oh, I thought you were going to say take him out in prison. Oh, right. No, I think he's too powerful.

I mean, like, if anything, he's going to be good in prison. Yeah, Mexican jail feels like time out. You know what I mean? Like, you could stare at the corner, or you could not. Well, at the very least, someone's not going to be able to dig a hole underneath your cell in the U.S., and then you can just kind of walk out of a tunnel. Like, how did he do the plot of Shawshank Redemption in real life? Money.

He full-on Shawshank. Yeah. My prediction is that El Chapo will be free again. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, because the beginning of the year we made some predictions. Yeah. The ones that were right is we thought we knew Cardi B and Offset would get back together.

So are you putting money down? You think El Chapo is somehow going to... El Chapo Libre. Okay. El Chapo Libre. My God. Well, yeah, I mean, it's just funny.

He has a lot of fans, too. It's weird watching how much cartel culture is worshipped, though, too. Yeah. Have you seen Dark Tourist? No. I've seen bits of clips that I've seen on YouTube

but I haven't seen an actual full episode. Oh, okay. I think they go to visit is it his compound they go to visit? I think so. Or somebody's, but yeah. Yeah, Carter. It might not be. Who's the, no, it's Pablo Escobar. Yeah, Pablo Escobar.

Who's like the sexiest cocaine murderer ever. Is that just because he was played by Adrian Gronje in Entourage? And now that's what people think he looks like, which is wild because the man was not attractive in real life. But also like he was a grisly murderer and that sold the Fyre Fest. Everyone was like, come on, we're going to party on Pablo Escobar's island. I think think it's people are like I just like to remember the cocaine part right and the money part not the murders that were not the machete murders a Popeye the guy who worked but he's like right hand assassin dude I think they interview him on the show and the guy's like I don't want to like him but I quite

liked him and then he was like then you have to remember he's murdered over like 200 people yeah and he's just showing people around the compound and reenacting shall i make it look like i'm gonna shoot you in the head like it's he's like that'll be 50 bucks extra yeah like it's weird isn't it when we wash again like going back to the serial killers when we get into this kind of place where i understand the fascination but also at the same time people are like you're a are like we've made you a celebrity. Well I think it's the power and it's the money and then we can just selectively

overlook all the lives that are lost on the way in the pursuit of that. It's the same thing like there's a show on VH1 called Cartel Crew where it's like descendants of people who were in like Colombian Americans who were involved in drugs in the 80s. So now you're famous? It's like if your mom was Beyonce.

One of them is Griselda Blanco's son, who is known as the godmother of cocaine, who, I mean, like her crimes, like there's so many murders done in her name for her business, but he's trying to like create a fashion line around it. Oh my God. And a lot of people are like, how are you glorifying this thing and he's like well it's not that she was an entrepreneur that's the most millennial thing i've ever fucking heard well yeah and a lot of people were just sort of like nah this ain't it like you can't this is someone who is like you know glamorized like motorcycle assassin hijabs and this is the

problem when fashion tries to get involved like as a person who likes fashion but doesn't think it's the most important thing ever but fashion trying to get involved in political movements or activism you know like when Dior did the we should all be feminist t-shirts yeah but they were like 700 available up to a size 10 meaning so like yeah we should all be feminists unless you're fat or poor in which case no, no. No. You cannot be. But yeah, like to associate yourself with like a fashion line kind of marketed off the back of. Yeah. But it's popular.

I mean, remember when G-Unit had those bulletproof vest t-shirts? Yeah. But them just didn't work. With the clips on the side. Yeah, G-Unit was really trying something. I'm glad that that didn't catch on. Didn't Walmart have like Black Lives Matter t-shirts or Cop Lives Matter or something? They did sell two Lives Matter.

I was about to say, I doubt they were selling Black Lives Matter in the Walmart. Mm-mm. And you know what? All right, guys, we will be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career. Without sacrificing your sanity or sleep. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. 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. Listen 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.

BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.

That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. 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 and we're back and i just wanted to check in with virginia governor ralph northam who you know last week we were talking about his blackface scandal, where I think we all remember there was a photo in his yearbook of a man in blackface and another man in a Klan hood. And people were like, is this you? And he's like, maybe let me check. He came back. He said, no, it wasn't me. However, I did do blackface when I dressed as michael jackson at a dance party and but i did learn how to moonwalk and i won the contest so i hope that

lessens how offensive the act was that led to a lot of people demanding that he resigned uh because of obviously the racist history of blackface uh so he kicked off his my i'm sorry for blackface apology tour on Face the Nation with Gayle King. And he starts off his interview already by fucking up history. I know this has been a very difficult week for you in the state of Virginia. So where would you like to begin? Well, it has been a difficult week. And, you know, if you look at Virginia's history, we're now at the 400 year anniversary, And, you know, if you look at Virginia's history, we're now at the 400-year anniversary.

Just 90 miles from here, in 1619, the first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores in Old Point Comfort, what we call now Fort Monroe. Also known as slavery. Yes. Rebranding slavery as indentured servants. Wow. but we do it in our history books children are learning stuff like this they're like listen so what happened was but there were white indentured servants right that they do talk about but trying to say african indentured servant is like what the come on like look guys what happened was the first Carnival cruise ship pulled up to the west coast of Africa. A lot of black interns, hopeful to make it in America, got on board willingly. Cramped quarters, like, let's call it tiny house, but for boats.

And then we all, they took the big cruise across the Atlantic. It was actually very fun. Let's not say middle passage. Let's just say on the way there's just say on the way there. Yeah, on the way there. Not diaspora. Let's call it, you know. Yeah.

And it was just so funny because he just has this like gift of exacerbating his problems like with his like shitty words because when when he came out and said like, yes, I did do the Michael Jackson thing

and I use shoe polish and hey, if you know anything, it's hard to get shoe polish off your face. And everyone's like, so you've done it before Michael Jackson thing and I use shoe polish and hey, if you know anything, it's hard to get shoe polish off your face. And everyone's like, so you've done it before? That's not the problem with this. We don't care about how you cleanse, tone and moisturize afterwards.

He was like, my process was all wrong, guys. And then a journalist asked him like, can you still moonwalk? And you could tell in his mind he was about to be like, should I do it for him? Until his wife was like, fuck, no. Are you kidding me? No, just shut the fuck up.

We're already in a lot of shit. Anyway, so he went on in that interview and basically said, look, I know a lot of people want me to resign, but I'm not going to. And I'm going to do all that I can to regain the trust of Virginia, the people, especially the African-American community. especially the African-American community. And so cut to Tuesday, he basically came out and said that he is going to restore the civil rights, the voting rights of nearly 11,000 convicted felons in Virginia, which is like a great move. Like you cannot argue with that because I think that's a lot of people in criminal justice reform want is the ability for felons to be able to vote. But, yeah, he just said, I believe in second chances.

He's doing it. He's doing it to help himself and making our commonwealth more open and accessible to all. So he said, Virginians who have repaid their debts should be able to return to society, get a good job, and participate in our democracy. This is an important achievement that marks my administration's unwavering commitment to fairness, rehabilitation, and restorative justice. So again, he's doing a good thing to try and patch over his bad deeds. So does that mean if we just harass him for the rest of his career, he'll spend the rest of his career doing white guilt moves that actually help people? Yeah, maybe.

Because then maybe we should leave it up to him. And he's like, weed is legal. He's like, weed is legal in Virginia. Listen, this is Virginia. What are we going to get? Another racist white man who probably just burned all his blackface photos? Yeah, it's again, you know, like I was in the age of Polaroids.

I wish he would have a better reckoning with his actions than just trying to say, like, I'm just going to do all these other things to try and prove that I've learned something. Right. But to me, the proof is always in the pudding. Like, I don't need white people's apologies. I have so many of those. And guess what? I can't turn them in for rent. I can't turn them in for taxes. I can't get an acre or a mule with white folks' apologies. Okay, but you know what?

Prison reform and voting reform, at least he's trying. There's something there. And this is not a pat on his back. Fuck him. Fuck him. Turn your speakers up, everybody. Fuck him. Okay?. Turn your speakers up, everybody. Fuck him. Okay? But you can turn them back down. But if he's at least going to try to do, you know, implement legislation that is helping people of color, I'm not saying that he shouldn't be removed from office, but I'm like, shit.

This is probably better than a lot of what we've gotten. The right move would have been to resign. The bar is on the floor. And then, you know, that sort of comes around to, I think it was Nick Cannon or somebody was bringing out other comedians' use of blackface, like, over the years, like Sarah Silverman on her show, which she had publicly apologized pretty profusely about that. But also, like, reminding us that Jimmy Fallon, he dressed up as Chris Rock once on SNL, although the impersonation was pretty good.

And he dressed up as Terrence Howard on his own show, Jimmy Fallon. And then Kimmel also dressed as Karl Malone on The Man Show. And it was just kind of one of those things that someone in an article had pointed out that, oh, during that whole blackface controversy last week, none of them actually used any of that, touched any of this in their monologues, which I think, you know. They didn't want the smoke. They don't want the smoke. Well, it's interesting's interesting isn't it it's that thing of kind of going look over there someone else did a bad thing

and because someone else did it it makes me like Lance Armstrong going well other people are cheating so it's fine if I cheat you know it's that kind of thing like how Kobe snitched on Shaq yeah yeah it's interesting because his voice there's a certain type of southern voice like like Virginia in Alabama, who when you hear them speak, it sounds like they're swallowing secrets.

That's what he sounds like. Almost like you're afraid of what words are going to come out of your mouth. I think because he knows. Don't do it. Don't do it. Racism ASMR. Right. Very silent.

Yeah. ASMR. Right. Very, very silent. Yeah. And I mean, look, you know, I think with comedy, I feel like, you know, people have to be able to redeem themselves in some way. I do believe that that's possible. But I think in certain cases, when it comes to politicians, like in positions like that, people need to hold themselves to a much higher standard than, you know, any private citizen just doing anything. It's just insane to me that, and this is a thing that white men politicians have been saying a lot, especially as people start to unearth their past and unearth tweets and photos. And it's like, oh, well, I was in college and I was young then.

You know, I went to college. Right. And, you know, I did some drinking. And I think the worst thing I probably did is throw up on somebody's couch. But, you know, I did not do alabaster face i didn't rape anybody i didn't beat nobody up and it's still nobody's shit i don't think being young is an excuse for being a bad person i think you are just a bad person if you are inclined to do this sure i think it's never been it's never been acceptable has it no there's there's so it's interesting when people kind of try and use the, well, it was back then and it was different.

And you go, was it acceptable back then? I don't think it was acceptable. Right. Or just complete that thought and say it was back then. And in hindsight, that was awful. I feel terrible about it. I would never do it again. But a lot of people just want to do the thing was like, well, it was back then.

Right. And look, I'm not going to resign because I'm going to give all these felons their voting rights. And that's not then. Right. And look, I'm not going to resign because I'm going to give all these felons their voting rights. And that's not enough. Yeah. And I think that's where I think with the attorney general who was also caught doing blackface. So Virginia just was like. Yeah.

His apology was a little more like there was some substance to it. But again, this is, you know, this is America. I read a funny tweet. I wish I could remember the person's name to credit them. But yeah, they were like, I thought Virginia was for lovers. I guess it's for blackface. Oh, yeah. Well, let's go on to Cardi B.

She had to delete her Instagram. Okay. And I don't know why. I mean, I do know why. It's because she won a Grammy and then Twitter went off and caused a stir, especially with Nicki Minaj, because Nicki Minaj has not won a Grammy. And a lot of people want to throw that in her face and what was BET who really who really went in

I was so trashy yeah it was really weird and it was very disrespectful too because Nicki Minaj is the only person who has been consistently showing up to the BET awards she was keeping y'all

in business okay she would show up every year and humbly accept the same award that y'all gave her and the category would be like Lil Shishy Pop and Kasey from the house. And Timmy.

She did a rap right before we wrote the category. We're going to put her up. And Nicki Minaj. And she would always accept this award. And so for them to come out and try to drag her was so disrespectful. But what? Did she say anything? They're just trying to be like, oh, Cardi got hers.

No. No. So there was a tweet that was Cardi B won the Grammy. And then BET retweeted it and was like, meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is getting dragged by her lace friend. So it was like mean spirited and also completely unnecessary. I'm like, BET, y'all can't get no. I remember when BET advertised to me that Beyonce was going to perform. Where? At the BET Awards.

No. And when I tell you, I tuned in. I turned it on. And they showed a video of Beyonce performing in London. And Beyonce didn't even acknowledge that the live feed was happening. She was like, hey, what's up, BET? She was just singing and dancing and doing her normal performance. Wait, so they just took a feed from another thing and acted like that was an

appearance? And said that was Beyonce's appearance. So I said, Nicki Minaj has been coming up in her flesh and in her blood to y'all's awards ceremony. Isn't this how y'all do her? Yeah. Right? Rude. But now Barbie stands or whatever the hell. Barbies, yeah. Yeah, Barbies. The Nicki hands. The Barb's. The Barb's. They've been attacking Cardi B

and getting on her page, you know, threatening to kill her baby like they like to do. And that's why. What's wrong with people? Well, yeah, the fans are, I mean, man, the Barbies, they come out. The Barbies are mean. But also Nicki Minaj is mean. So her fans are also very mean. It's hard for me to feel bad for Nicki Minaj because she's kind of a bully.

She's not a nice lady. Yeah, she gets into it too. And it was weird for them to just sort of stir Minaj because she's kind of a bully. She's not a nice lady. Yeah, she gets into it too. And it was weird for them to just sort of stir this pot because it didn't have to be. No, not at all. They didn't have to pit them against each other. And it is a little sexist because I'm just going to read a few of the rappers who have never received a granny. Nas, Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, Snoop Dogg, Trevor Smith, DMX, Ice Cube, Rick Ross, Future, A Tribe Called Quest, Tupac Shakur, and Ja Rule. Now, Ja Rule don't deserve no praise.

At the end of that, I was like, I'd forgotten that Ja Rule existed. Do you remember in the 90s with every female singer, they just had a moment? Was it early 2000s? Also, did you call Busta Rhymes by his legal name? Yes, Trevor Smith, a.k.a you call Busta Rhymes by his legal name? Yes. Trevor Smith. I was like. A.K.A. Busta of Rhymes.

Busta of Bust. I was like, wow, you're a real fan. You're like Reggie Noble, A.K.A. Redman. Okay. Esquire. So it's like there's so many great artists who obviously would be deserving of a Grammy who haven't got one. Yeah, but the Grammys never meant shit to rap anyway.

Exactly. Rap has protested the Grammys in the past. So I don't understand why they have to do this to Nicki Minaj. And it's simply because she's a woman. And it's also because of that feud. Yeah, and they just like to pit the fans. I thought Cardi would have kind of stayed on because normally she'd her way through that. And she did.

She posted a video where she's like, I'm not really here to prop myself up at the expense of someone else. I don't think that's right. And then a lot of people just jumped in the comments on that. And the next thing you know, the account was gone. I love Cardi B because she, for me, summarizes what's kind of great about America and the American dream. Because Cardi wouldn't be allowed to happen in the UK. She would just be shamed out of existence.

Whereas here, that's part of the story. It's like she came from the strip club and now she's like one of the biggest selling artists in the world in America and I kind of love that I like I like how Americans view you view success as like inspirational and aspirational and that's the fundamental difference between us because British people um we see sort of success as a as a reflection of our own failures. Yeah. But you also have universal health care.

We do. The American dream is what we trick people with so that they can die because they can't afford asthma and medication. And they're like, oh, you should have been balling. Right. Why didn't you climb up from the strip club like Cardi B so you could afford medication? It's a trash dream. Well, ours is being systematically dismantled, the NHS at the moment.

And also, they're stockpiling medicine because we have a no-deal Brexit at the moment. So it's pretty terrifying there. Well, look, that's a new game called Who Has It Worse? The US or the UK? I once did scam myself a free surgery out of London. You did? Shout out to y'all. What did you get?

I had a cyst. A lift? No, I had a cyst. So I had to have surgery. And I didn't pay for nothing. And they were like'd you get? I had a cyst. A lift? No, I had a cyst, so I had to have surgery. And I didn't pay for nothing. And they were like, well, you're not a citizen, so actually you are supposed to pay. I said, well, goodbye. Chip, chip, cheerio.

When you come in, they're going to hit you with that bill? Right. Literally. If I bring my passport, I might get hit with that bill. Well, let's move on to some other international fuckery, shall we? Because the Senate Intelligence Committee announced on Tuesday that they have found, quote, no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Russians and the Trump campaign. Now, I think Trump is Stan and all the MAGA heads are going to be spiking the football over this announcement because they love whenever they can contort a headline into some kind of absolution of the president's actions. But yeah, again, this has been a bipartisan effort that the committee has gone into like hundreds of interviews and have found no direct evidence.

But they're, you know, like, let's take that with numerous grains of salt here. For starters, this committee doesn't have nearly the same kind of investigative tools that Robert Mueller has. You know, like Robert Mueller can say, excuse me, I caught you lying. I can now put you in jail if you do not cooperate with me. The Senate Intelligence Committee doesn't have those powers to compel people like that. Also, when you take into account how many people have been brought up on charges for lying to Congress during these investigations, you can also say that, OK, there's probably they're not even working with this sort of same set of details, facts, data that Mueller might be working with.

And again, you know, I don't think we were ever and no one ever thought that there was going to be some kind of signed PDF sign now through this app kind of contract that said, dear Donald Trump from Russia, do this and we will do this sign and date here, that there would be like that kind of concrete, direct evidence. Now, they do have is circumstantial evidence, which is, you know, just evidence that something has occurred. It might not be directly. They can draw those lines, but there is clearly so much circumstantial evidence around the contacts between Russians and people in Trump world. And I think that's where they're at now. And I think a lot of a few people that worked on the committee wanted to clarify that it's that they're dealing with this set of evidence or set of facts. And then on the right, they're looking at it as a way to say, well, there's nothing here to directly say that there was a conspiracy.

Democrats are saying there's a lot of fucked up shit we're looking at here and it stinks. Okay. Maybe we didn't find this direct smoking gun, but we have so many more questions than we do answers. And they've said that, look, they're not there. Their work is yet to be finished. But right now, I think it was it was interesting. A lot of people, I think, are going to be hanging on to this idea of direct evidence that they didn't find direct evidence of a conspiracy. But look, Robert Mueller is not finished yet. We'll see what happens with him. And again, I think if you listen to this show,

we were never really counting on Robert Mueller to save America from Donald Trump. No. Because I just don't think the Republicans have it in them to actually turn on Trump. But, and we also say too, the investigations that are happening in the Southern District of New York

for a lot of the financial crimes, those pose a much bigger threat to the Trump family than the Mueller probe to begin with. I mean, this is a win for them because, I mean, not finding any real evidence to connect it to Russia is a win. That's what I'm saying. People are going to get hung up on the idea that there's no direct evidence. There's no thing that says, oh, here it is. Two or three degree evidence, though. Right, exactly.

direct evidence. There's no thing that says, oh, here it is. Two or three degree evidence, though. Right, exactly. And someone, you know, as I was listening on the news today, a prosecutor was saying, you know, when circumstantial, like there's no direct evidence, but circumstantial evidence would be like, you know, let's say you go outside and there's snow on the ground. You don't know that it snowed, but there's evidence that snow was there. We don't know it's because it was coming out of the sky or maybe someone dumped a truck full of snow outside, but shit's there and there may not be a direct link. So I think what they're saying is now sort of I think for the right, it'll be a more of a semantic thing that they're going to try and argue because they're always like, well, there's no collusion.

But then when collusion was discovered, especially when you look at Roger Stone and his connections to WikiLeaks, then they say, well, say, well, collusion isn't a crime. So, you know, that's how it is. Move the goalposts. Yeah, they've managed to make crimes look good. So now that they have something that's basically saying that there's not direct evidence, they can really make that. They can really spin that. OK.

Shots of Fox News. Yeah. And moving on to more Trump news. On Monday, he had a rally in El Paso for, you know, a lot of people were like, why the fuck? Who told him to go to El Paso? Nobody. Nobody. It's a majority Latinx city.

He has a terrible, like, he's not popular there by any stretch of the imagination, yet he wants to go there. And I think a lot of that has to do with this artificial example he's created about how, well, it used to be the most violent city in the country or something. They're trying to act about all this violent crime until they built a wall and it all ceased. And even the mayor of El Paso was like, that's not accurate. But just please, whatever. So he had his rally and they rah, rah, rahed. And again, I just, I mean i mean look i don't want to really harp on anything that happened there because we all just know there's a bunch of bs uh but one thing that was interesting was there were a few things that were unveiled there from a marketing standpoint uh first was like a new slogan that the party and the white house have unveiled which says we're only getting stronger together now stronger together, you know, ring a bell in someone's head

because that was fucking Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan in 2016. Strong her. I don't know how the fuck they thought, let's expand the Hillary Clinton stronger together slogan to be ours. It's like Tiff's Michelle Obama joke. They're like, we're just going to steal from what's here. Right. They're like,

huh, I think I heard that somewhere. I don't know where, but I like it and we'll do it. And then they're like, oh shit, it's Hillary. They leave her on the flyers.

They're like, look, we have time to print more. Okay. So, so another thing that was interesting, they had banners that were up that said finish the wall, which before it was all about build the wall.

Right. As if it is saying that is yet to be completed or started. But now we're at finish the wall, which before it was all about build the wall. Right. As if it is a thing that is yet to be completed or started. But now we're at finish the wall, which is a subtle, slick change. That's a scammer. It's like, look, we already started because look at El Paso. See how we already started the wall? So let's just finish the wall. Right.

Well, but it's just- It's like they've had quotes from a builder. Right. Or construction people and they've got Let's just finish the wall It's going to cost you this much to finish it And it's going to take a year Y'all want to leave it undone? It's just funny because now that

Subconsciously that puts in the mind of his base Oh that the wall is almost done When it's not even close to the thing That he was promising them throughout his campaign Which was some gigantic Concrete, environment-disrupting... See it from space. Yeah, that went from sea to shining sea. Is Trump like the racist MLK?

Like, does he have all of the rhetoric and all the tools to galvanize and motivate people? I have a nightmare. And his immigrants. That's what he's selling us. He's selling us, I have a nightmare. And it's immigrants. That's what he's selling us. He's selling us I have a nightmare. I mean, it's very ineffective because you, I mean, for your, I think, to a certain extent, right? Because if it was really that compelling, I think there would be a majority of people that were compelled by his empty logic. There were enough for him to become president.

Yeah, that's true. I guess, yeah. I don't want to live in a world where somehow he is the MLK or racist. That's just a frightening scenario. But yeah, okay, good pivot. Finish the wall because it's almost done. I'm with him. Yeah, right?

I'm with Himmler. I'm with Himmler. Oh, no. In El Paso, that's Beto O'Rourke's town. That's what I was about to say. That's Beto O'Rourke's town. That's what I was about to say. That's Beto O'Rourke's territory. So he had to get messy. A rival.

A rival rally. It's like the Sharks and the Jets. Now, do you think that he was doing that because of the suspicion that Beto O'Rourke might announce himself as a candidate for president?

People thought he was going to do that. And he's kind of a sexy candidate. I mean sexy, not in a sexual or physical way, but I mean he would be an ideal Democratic candidate. Yeah, well, look, he took Ted Cruz to a much more competitive race than anyone thought he would, especially in Texas. Unfortunately, it was the same margins that Barack Obama lost in Texas.

He also lost by—he got 44% of the votes. So it's just like the numbers aren't there in Texas. And I know from someone who's from Texas who used to work for the DNC and like call. And in Texas, you can vote in both primaries. So people will vote in the Democrat primary who are Republican

to try to get a weaker candidate to win so that their candidate has a better shot at winning. Gotcha. And so I would be calling people on a DNC call list and it would be Republicans. Like, my dog is Republican.

Oh, wow. That's how Republican. Yeah. But it is crazy that he would go to El Paso, which is very strong Beto town. Yeah. And well, I mean, and to Beto's like, my dog is Republican. Oh, wow. That's how Republican. Yeah. But it is crazy that he would go to El Paso, which is very strong Beto town. Yeah. And to Beto's credit, him being in the race helped pull a lot of other districts left. For sure.

So he definitely has a gravity to him. Do we think he's going to announce then? Because Klobuchar did, right? Yeah, at some point. I think it's a matter of when. Cinco de Mayo, maybe? Oh, wow. Maybe. Beto's not Latino. But he's bilingual. But he's bilingual. point I think most people are I think it's a matter of Cinco de Mayo maybe oh wow maybe but they're like aren't you right but he's bilingual but he's bilingual and that's what he did at his

rally he he went he went from English took it to Spanish and I think you know all of the blacks announced on uh black holidays Kamala came on Shirley Chisholm Cory Booker did the beginning of a black history month just let them know uh so know, at the Beto rally, you know, he had a pretty good crowd. Trump was trying to say, like, I think there's like 200 or 300 people there. OK, so guess how many people that Trump said were coming to his rally? A million. One of his media people said we had 70,000 RSVPs. Bruh.

RSVPs. And he said we had we had something like 10,000 people in this auditorium and tens of thousands outside. So they made an event right for the rally? Yeah, exactly. Brown paper tickets. They had a Facebook event and it was like, everybody clicked interested. So I'm going to take

that as a yes. But a lot of people so what they pointed to is the fire department had to hop in and be like, look, this is what happened. They were permitted to have 6,500 people inside of that structure where the Trump rally was right and outside there were another people that maybe brought the total to about around 10,000 people came to see Trump most people came from outside of El Paso anyway because there were just fans who just came for the appearance not really people from El Paso I mean there were but they say I suspect a lot of people came from out of town.

Now, at the Beto O'Rourke rally, they estimated somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 people. Right, but they adequately planned to host. Yeah, well, it was outside. It wasn't inside. And if you look at the crowd or the videos of it, it's a sea of people. Trump is doing rallies like Free Before 11 at the club, like just making a line outside so it looks lit. Just keeping them in right checking the ratios like we're not gonna get a place that would adequately hold this amount of people because we need to look cute single women at the front so we can draw the guys in right get the single women in literally and so i again we'll see how it goes

uh one thing that i do just want to point out because you know there is a teacher strike happening in denver um and i just want to draw people's attention to the attitude of the Trump family that they have towards just their disdain for the education system. Because, as I said, education is a first line defending people from becoming ignorant and completely idiotic. And that's why we have to help teachers, especially the good ones, get what they need so they can help the future generations of Americans. teachers, especially the good ones, get what they need so they can help the future generations of Americans. So this is Donald Trump Jr. warming up the crowd before his daddy comes on with a really, you know, just a classic Trump populism. Let's just hear this clip. You know what I love? I love seeing some young conservatives because I know it's not easy. Keep up that fight.

Bring it to your schools. You don't have to be indoctrinated by these loser teachers that are trying to sell you on socialism from birth. You don't have to do it. The fact that he says, I know it's hard means we know we're wrong right that's like to kind of go if you believed in your ideals like i know it's hard being an asshole it shouldn't be hard to do the right thing i don't think democrats have ever been like i know it's hard to care about health care well yeah and also when you smear the people who are opposing you as just loser teachers,

it's like, bro, you know that's not because you're right. Anyway. Well, the students were marching with them in Denver. That's what I thought

was pretty incredible. Yeah. They were like, oh, the students had come out for their teachers. Yeah, that happened in LA too. And I think, because people get it.

And it's just this idea of trying to slowly, you know, make education seem like some kind of elite thing rather than a necessity to all people. And something we give

to all people. Right. It's just, you know, again. Freely. Wow. And then like, how can you just be, your president is trying

to keep you stupid. Right. That should be a red flag. Yeah, loser teachers. Loser teachers. Loser teachers. Loser teachers. I don't want them knowing,

the attitude is then, I don't want them knowing more than I do. Right, absolutely. That's dangerous. Which is the attitude of the oppressor. Right.

So they're oppressing their own base, which they always have done. You know, the trickle down effect and everything that they use to galvanize poor people into continuing

to vote for people who do not have their best interests in mind. The opioid crisis is killing them, and yet they're at rallies gassing up xenophobia and racism because that's what makes them feel good at night. Yeah, well, that's how you ride that to the White House. All right, well, let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. So you ride that to the White House.

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.

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.

iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever And we're back. And again, another thing that we always talk about on this show when we do Bloid Watch is how all the tabloids in the United States are obsessed with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston getting back together, even when there's no evidence of it. Yes. And then over the weekend, we got a taste of what might be the future that the tabloids dreamed of becoming a real thing. Because at her 50th birthday party, there's video evidence of Brad Pitt entering the building of the party. And I think everyone at Us Weekly is just popping bottles right now because the thing that they were trying to manifest this whole time may be happening. Or maybe it's just an old couple who is uh you know friendly and he just came out to her 50th birthday i don't know are y'all shipping them still um friends

friends with your exes i'm friends with some of my exes so um and they were into each other's lives in quite a critical point right and quite a critical point for him so i think they can be friends i saw a magazine cover that then implicated shawley's there on in it as well and somehow like she's seeing brad pitt and but it's always the same narrative around jennifer aniston that i really like push back against which is like unlucky in love jen right and you go why is no one saying that about the dude she dated why is no one saying that about justin why is no one saying that about who's that guitar player mayor john mayer yeah john mayer yeah like why is no one going that dude is clearly crap in bed or a terrible human being because he can't hold on to a woman yeah it's like he must be great and he's ditching them all and you're like no why is

jen unlucky in love maybe she's just very picky right or just and it just sells the because it clearly moving units to keep this thing up. They're always like, what's going to happen? It's America's sweethearts, do you think? It is. Everyone wanted that love story to work out. And Brangelina, she was so evil and broke them up. But also, this birthday party was like a celebrity big birthday bash.

Everybody was there. Reese Witherspoon fell down the fucking stairs. Right. What? big birthday bash. Everybody was there. It's like... Reese Witherspoon fell down the fucking stairs. Right. So it's... What? There's a photo of her like slipped down the stairs and like,

ooh, someone was partying too hard. That's a good party. That's a good party. I hope when I'm Reese Witherspoon's age I'm falling down somebody's steps, bitch.

With two busted heels? It's lit. Okay? You go, Reese. Okay? You got you more than a spoonful of liquor that night.

Go ahead. Too many Reeters for Reese. But that's good. I mean, you know, since we're talking about love and romance, this is now a good time to remind people that tomorrow is February 14th, Valentine's Day. Valentine's with an M. Now, how – I hope everybody has their gifts if you have a significant other

that you're buying a gift for. But I just was curious. I just wanted to pick people's brains about this. Maybe what should people do if they're listening to this show right now and say, I need to get a gift? What do I do? What do I buy to not seem like a totally thoughtless partner? Right.

I know some things to not buy. Okay, maybe start off with what you shouldn't buy. Yeah. Gift cards. Dick is number one. Do not bring dick for Valentine's Day. Oh, someone goes, where's my gift? In my pants.

In a box. Don't put it in a box. Okay. Unless it's severed and it's in a box. Oh, no. Flowers to your significant other's job have always signaled to me that you're cheating on them. I just want to put that out there. Wait, so you're saying if you're at a job and someone gets

flowers, your immediate thought goes, you cheating on her. Absolutely. I'm like, why her man trying so hard to let us all know that he love her because he don't. He cheating on her. Do you think you're projecting your insecurities in that one? No, absolutely not. These are facts. I'm telling you women,

if your man's sending you big bouquets to your damn job, you better go through his phone that night. You better figure out where he's hiding her or him or whomever. Yeah, whoever. Hoomst. Hoomst.

You better see where hoomst is. What's a good gift for you? Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Yeah, we do in the UK. It's not as big a thing, I think, as it is here. I mean, it's still a thing and people are made to feel bad in the run up to it

if they're single. Good. And it's mainly like, you know, like, yeah, yeah. Like, you make single people feel bad and then, you know, I remember being single at home, walking around,

looking at couples going, they're not the two I'd pick for Noah's Ark. Oh. Like, I would be real judgmental. Wow, real catty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you say it out loud.

In a biblical sense. Yeah, yeah. In a biblical sense. you say it out loud but now i think we try and do like well this is gonna sound so cheesy but i just we try and do nice stuff for each other all the time so if like last year i think he bought me a necklace okay and i maybe like bought chocolates but. What kind of chocolate? Did it have a horse on it at least? The lady with the horse? Godiva? Is that what you're trying to say?

Oh, Godiva chocolates. We have Milk Trey, which is a man in a turtleneck jumper who, yeah, the Milk Trey man. Okay, that seems classy because as long as it wasn't Russell Stovers. Yeah, Russell Stovers, throw him out. Nothing comes close to the home.

That's Stofers, not Russell Stovers. Yeah, Russell Stovers. Throw him out. Nothing comes close to the home. That's Stouffers. Okay, you know what? A treat for Valentine's Day for my partner would be for me to cook dinner because I don't cook shit. He cooks everything. So actually, for me to make an effort to do something that he normally does would probably be quite nice. Okay, I think that's a nice gift. That's thoughtful. What's the nicest thing you've ever done on a Valentine's Day, Lacey?

Oh, okay, y'all. I ain't had a man since 1997, so. When you were seven? You really laughing hard at that. Oh, no. Right, right. That's actually accurate. I would be six in 1997.

No, what did I do for my one man that I had had in the past? He got me some, oh, you know what? It was kind of fucked up. It was Valentine's Day and I was in a show called Xanadome. And I was just making out with a lot of people on stage and he was there with some flowers. Wait, so it's like a spin on Xanadu? Yeah. And it was Xanadome?

Yes. It's a very fun musical. Was he just in the crowd with like a bouquet clutched to his chest with tears running down his eyes? I was just telling the people that it was my job though. And it was on Valentine's Day

because the show was about love. It's called Acting. And also look, if you are doing a last minute gift, okay, just go on Amazon right now. I know they're evil,

but look, they're the only people that are going to bail you out in time. And then what you do is on the morning of Valentine's Day say, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I just found out evil, but look, they're the only people that are going to bail you out in time. And then what you do is on the morning of Valentine's Day say, oh my God,

I'm so sorry. I just found out the weather fucked up my shipment. It's going to be here Saturday. Yeah. Blah-dow. Bah-pow. Yeah,

don't go to 7-Eleven and just try and get something at the last minute. Yeah, don't get it. There's ads on the radio for Pandora that are like,

I'm on at Tiff Stevenson is Twitter which I tend to use more I know Instagram is where everyone who's younger than me is I'm on there as well Tiff Stevenson comic but, which I tend to use more. I know Instagram is where everyone who's younger than me is.

I'm on there as well, Tiff Stevenson comic. But a lot of it is me posting pictures of me in outfits where I don't have camel toe, which I seem to struggle with for about 40 to 50% of my dressing experiences. I seem to struggle to not make that happen. Also, I'll post quite a lot about like if you've got curves, like I'm just, you know, to not make that happen. Also, I'll post quite a lot about if you've got curves. You have to choose between frump or floozy.

I'm choosing floozy these days because I'm getting on now. I've got some age. I've got some years behind me. We just call it looking good. Let's not give it a negative connotation. I love thought fashions. But you're very fashionable.

I got some on Instagram the other day, actually. And then I blocked someone. It's weird, isn't it? Because, you know, back in the day, like, if you wanted to show a woman your penis, you had the decency to wear a mac and hide in a bush or in a late night train. Oh, no. Like, now it's just, they seem to have gone those kind of flashes now
