You know I like my thighs a little bit plumper. I just want to hear the daily zeit i don't wanna lose the daily zeit that is courtesy of the casserole casanova

that is outfield your lose your love maybe is what it's called i don't know i found out about that song like four years ago from a Christy Yamaguchi main, a.k.a. And now it's been in steady rotation. You've never heard that song? I hadn't. I guess I probably did when I was a kid, but I didn't really know it. I was like, what is this about?

I feel like it was like a mainstay on sort of like 80s radio. Yeah, I feel like I heard it on some boomboxes when I was a child. Some boomboxes? Okay. Some boomboxes. Okay, all right. And I am thrilled, of course, to be joined by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! Miles Gray, a.k.a. I've got another confession to make.

I'm A.I. Or are you fooled and trained to think this is a lie? We just cannot resist. We're gonna lose. Is my car getting the best? The best? The best? My best is sex.

Shout out to JMU Sick One. Obviously talking about Foo Fighters, but obviously talking about how every smart car is spying on you and selling your information including your sexual activity which is a revelation we had not uh we had not experienced until that article came out so i still don't believe it but maybe i'm just not having enough sex in the right places i know i think i need a data analyst to tell us what information like data points they're using to infer sexual activity. Which sex did you know I had? My car? My good car?

My good car. Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny stand-up comedian whose new album, Get By, is out wherever fine comedy albums are sold and streamed. It's Liz Barry! Hello. I feel like I should have prepared a song for you. It's okay. Well, you got one? You have a song in your heart?

I'll put you on the spot right now. I got nothing. I got nothing. I feel like I have to do a parody song. I would have had to prepare for it. When people always say that, because that's a common response when people see us go just humiliate ourselves to the top of the show is what's your favorite karaoke song? And then maybe we can workshop it from there because that's a melody

you know in your heart. Well, I really haven't found my karaoke song. My husband loves Banga Gong, which is a good one. Oh, yeah. Get it on. And then I've done... Bang Agong, get it on. Get it on. And then I've done It's Raining Men, but that's a total mistake. It goes on forever. Oh, is it a lot longer than we suspect? Oh, I think it goes on for like seven minutes.

It starts out really good, but then it's whatever. So I stick to Diamonds in the Stream, I think is a good one. Yeah, okay. Yeah. It's Raining Men. It's Liz Barrett. Hallelujah think it's a good one yeah okay yeah yeah yeah it's raining it's liz barrett hallelujah it's liz barrett yeah oh wow yeah the weather goes five minutes 25 seconds that song's clocking i told you that is one of those things like when you do karaoke and like

you're like i love the chorus of this song so you select to do it and then you're like, I love the chorus of this song, so you select to do it, and then you're like, oh no, this is six minutes long, and I realize I only know one third of it. I do Freebird and then just vibe out on the stage for seven minutes for the solo. You sing the solo? Oh.

Fucking ruining it, man. But the audience loses interest after a while oh yeah oh yeah that's the most fucked up part of like miss selecting a karaoke song is when you just lose the drunk people that are your friends who have been so supportive all the way through and they're like on their phones yeah yeah start lighting up their drunk faces. You start to feel like a real loser. Yeah. Yeah.

Not me. Never have felt like a real loser, Liz. I can tell that, Jack. I'm just brimming with confidence. You are. You are. Where are you coming to us from, Liz? New York City.

New York City? Where we're fighting lantern, what's those, lantern flies? What are, Liz? New York City. New York City? Where we're fighting lantern... What's those? Lantern flies? What are they called? Oh, yeah. They're like... Spotted lantern flies. They're kind of colorful, and then you just stomp on them?

Is that the thing? They're pretty, but now... So you're supposed to stomp on them, but sometimes they hop or fly or something. So now we're supposed to have vinegar bottles with us and spray them. The fuck? I've got a lot of problems. I can't add that to my list of things I've got to do in a day. Liz, we need you to carry distilled vinegar in a spray bottle at all times now.

What I'm going to need from you is why is that preferable to stomping on them wait like that feels like a fucking cruel person is like you you really want to like watch them dissolve you want to see them i'm not from salt on a slug i'm not from new york i know not of new york things to this degree what the fuck are you even talking about with like island oh you gotta stomp them what are we talking about right you you have to kill them because they're an invasive species and then i think they kill trees so we're on high alert on the northeast and you're supposed to stomp them but sometimes they move too fast especially for the elderly which i guess i'm included in now so uh you're supposed to but but and so it's all hippy dippy to use vinegar what does that do i guess it kills them

although my husband and i mainly i mean like melts their exoskeleton why do we care about humane jack well that's what we're stomping them jack we're stomping them the stomping seems like oh oh they're just like so the vinegar bottle is just to like get more spread more death. No, it's supposed to, if you can't catch them, then you can spray them.

Got it. All right. Oh, because a wide spray of vinegar, it says we'll kill them instantly. So that sounds humane than getting your whole shit stomped out. Yeah. But I saw somebody stomping a, and saying like a prayer.

I'm like, okay, everyone get a grip. Yeah. I mean, they might just think that's some bad ass shit to do to somebody like Jules on Pulp Fiction, you know? Right. Say some biblical shit.

Ezekiel 25, 17, but then the lanternfly leaves because you're doing a long-winded monologue. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what we're doing out here in the Northeast. But I'm like, I got a lot of other problems besides, like, you know, killing lanternflies. Yeah. but i'm like i got a lot of other problems besides like you know killing lanternfly yeah work on other insects because like i i've always been in the market for something that you could shoot at a insect like shoot at a house fly there there are those like salt guns but those make a mess and i've just never like had one so i don't but like you you know what i'm talking about like

they're like yeah they shoot salt at flies and they're supposed to kill them does vinegar work i've definitely used it for like houseplants like if you have aphids and stuff like you could just put like some vinegar and water mixed together and just kind of spray your plants down because it does kill them i don't know if it's like a universal insect well we have a little outdoor area and we had like 20 of them this weekend and my my husband just started using Raid because the vinegar wasn't working. So I don't know what they're talking about. Yeah, we're going up to WMB. Did he put Bang-a-Gong on before he did it?

Yes, Bang-a-Gong. Get it on. Get it on. Woo! Did you see, do you know what you can get on Amazon though? It's like a racket a tennis racket and i got it the electric thing for the bug my favorite thing that i own my electric tennis racket thing i own are you serious i'm absolutely dead serious i have two of them for some reason

i love them they're so great he comes out with them and says, doubles anyone? Yeah. And it's really cheesy, but then he starts whacking them. Yeah, one in each hand. Yeah. But yeah, when you catch one and it makes that loud crack. Are you familiar with these, Miles? Yeah. Oh, I mean, I've been to places that have them and I too end up becoming like, this

is my favorite toy now. Yes. But I don't own one. Yeah. It's like having one of those bug lights, but in the shape of a tennis racket. Yeah. For the listeners who weren't listening the last time I rhapsodized about this. And then you just get to swing it around.

And, like, when you hit one, it makes a pop. It makes a loud snap. You know you have done your job to protect your family. And, oh, oh man nothing better and then it's like stuck to the thing a lot of the time you you just like put it in the toilet it's so good and and like you you know how you have to get a fly to stay in one spot and then like this is you have a bigger space you can deal with yeah you don't have to pull it right out of thin air yeah it's fantastic they don't know what the fuck hit them it's the best it is the cruelest that i am as a as a human being is like i am just purely focused on destroying that

house fly yeah me too i hate a house yeah fuck them yeah fuck a house fly. Yeah, me too. I hate a house fly. Yeah, fuck them. Fuck a house fly. I think we can all agree. Yeah. And sometimes it works on mosquitoes. You can only tell that you've caught a mosquito because they're so small when it makes the little pop. But then they're like vaporized.

No messy cleaner. All right. Wow. Liz, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. Mike McCarthy? What's this guy's name? Mike McCarthy is a football coach. Kevin. McCarthy has announced that the House will open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, even though their investigation didn't find anything. So that's going to be happening. We need the inquiry first, and then we'll find something, though.

Yes. That's the logic here. Oh, you did the inquiry and it didn't find anything? You did an investigation and it didn't find anything? Yeah, but it needs to be official. Yeah, yeah. If I go deeper didn't like find anything. You did an investigation and didn't find it. Yeah. Why do you go deeper? Yeah. Yeah. If I go deeper, I might find something.

We're going to talk about, it does seem like there's a lot of people speaking of Biden that are like, oh, but he's like really old right now. So I do want to talk about it. It does seem like that take is coming up more. Or at least I want to ask, is there more of a conversation happening? Am I just like catching it more? The idea that people are really looking for a alternative from the DNC? Seems like that chorus has raised up a little bit. DraftKings 9-11 themed promotion. Gatorade's new hydration technology, which they're calling Water.

Oh! Have you guys heard about this stuff? No, but I'd love to know more. Gatorade is making it? Okay, then it's got to be good for my body. Because I'm an athlete. Speaking of water, NASA found some on a distant planet.

So we might even talk about that. I'll drink that. We could do anything. The episode is our oyster. But before we get to any of it, Liz, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Well, a lot of it's medical. So it's a lot like, do I have a tumor? MRIs and cancer?

How many pounds are in a stone? I recently looked up that's 14 pounds. I don't know why in America you go to your doctor and get weighed and they put it in stones. Like, I don't understand that. Wait, your doctor put it in stones? Yeah, maybe it's a woman thing. But like, you get on this scale and they put it in stone so you have no idea i i don't know whether women have just ran from the room i i don't understand what's

happening so i had to google how many pounds in a stone which turns out to be 14 how many stones is it then love yeah sorry i'm 15 stone in it 15, but so that is so weird because I just, that to me is such a like British weight, like measurement metric for weight. That is really okay. I guess I don't, I probably don't know anything where doctors like, yeah, a lot of the scales just have both on there maybe, but like they're writing it down. I don't know how they write it down, but you have no idea. You're like, okay, I don't know how they write it down but you have no idea you're like okay i don't know what that is but sure right so uh so it's like they have both in it keep doing this so i google a lot of medical stuff yeah yeah yeah which is weird stone always sounds very primitive to me and dumb like uh they just like said how much a stone weighs like they found

one stone and we're like the you weigh this many but then i realized that we use feet which is like even dumber like right right just our length is like yeah that's how many like how many feet that like somebody if you've stacked people's feet steps next to each other so it's all because it's like the king's foot or whatever that long so then that's how it's like well this god person's

foot is this big so that's how we measure things and did your height change when one king died and a new one was born oh I don't know like I'm 7'3 now that the baby king has taken over. Now that Prince Henry has ascended. Well, for a long time, you know, you shrink as you get older. And I went for a physical, and they're like, you shrunk by an inch.

And I'm like, I'm so young to shrink by an inch. And then I told my mother, and she's like, you've never been that height. You've always, like, got your height. You've always been that height. And I was like, oh, okay. You've never been that. You've never been such a wild thing. This thing to say, you've never been that height. So let it go. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry. She just like has this like flashback of you standing on your tippy toes at the doctor's office when you were growing up. I guess she always knew I was lying to myself.

To know the origin of the stone, it's because England was exporting so much raw wool that they needed to create a standard. So the royal statute fixed a stone of wool at 14 pounds. And then a sack of wool had to be 26 stones. So it's all because of the wool export. Well, that transfers to weight. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

They're like, I don't know. It's a big sack of wool, by the way. To humans. Yeah. Yeah. What is something you think is overrated? Well, currently, I don't you think is overrated? Well, currently I don't understand this whole obsession with the Jonas brothers.

I thought they were gone and now there's like a concert and everyone's riled up for it. And then the divorce. And I'm like, wait, the Jonas brothers are still popular. I didn't, I didn't know this was still going on.

I'm confused. I had a similar revelation where I was like, I felt like they aged out the second they became like 18, like Disney, like pop stars do, but they've kept it going and they've like all have like other famous partners.

So I don't know if that's part of like the Jonas industrial complex where like they have to keep like marrying relevant people to keep the thing, but they got fans. They got fans. Yeah. Jack,

you've been keeping up with the Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner divorce. Oh yeah. The latest will shock you after this. It's a, no, I actually had to Google which one was getting, cause isn't one of the other ones married to Priyanka Chopra.

Priyanka Chopra. Yeah. Okay. That's Nick Jonas. That's nick jonas yeah yeah okay they're still going strong and then there's like a forgotten jonas it's so weird yeah yeah it's so weird to me like i i thought we were past this were you keeping up with the early jonas brothers career or you're just like if that was a thing I remember from 2009 kind of thing yeah I'm like I don't understand why anyone's upset about the Jonas Brothers or going to their concert like they're trying to make it like the next Taylor Swift

concert and I'm like calm down I saw the headline for that concert five albums one night I was like hell yeah is this Jay Z is this like who is this going to be? Is it Radiohead? Like, that would be cool.

Like, is it a musician who has like five classic albums that we could all revel in? I did not know the Jonas's had a album that was like, that people were like, yeah, this one, you got to listen to this one cover to cover you know yeah they're like dude the fucking get the mandolin solo by kevin jonas on that track it's a great five albums one night or like x albums one night is a great concept that it is truly a shame the fucking jonas brothers got two first i couldn't the other thing is i couldn't sing you a single jonas song. I was just about

to say, what is a Jonas? Like, what is a Jonas Brothers song? I don't know. Jonas Brothers song. Five Alphys. Five Alphys. Concept

concert. I mean, we're not going to be able to play this in the episode, but I'm just going to play their most streamed song on Spotify for us just so we can see if any of us recognize this. Bang a gong. Get it on. Get it on. Ugh. What is that?

Yeah, it sounds like something from a rental car commercial. It's like Ed Sheeran, but what if you wanted to fuck Ed Sheeran? Seems to be the concept of this. Doesn't it just sound like an Ed Sheeran song? What if you wanted a poor man's Ed

Sheeran? That's what that sounds like. Wow. They've got albums, Jack. They got albums. Solo shit? Is one of the five albums a solo album? Or is it all Jonas Brothers? I think it all comes out.

The first Jonas Brothers album is from 2006 called It's About Time. It's about time. Yeah. Isn't it about time? The early 2000s and the 90s really loved a time pun. Nick of Time. Of course. One of the great films of the 90s really loved a time pun. Nick of Time. Of course. One of the great films of the 90s.

Y2K was approaching, and then we were still obsessed with it. What's something you think is underrated? I think is underrated is the show on Netflix called Is It Cake? Have you watched it? I have seen Is It Cake. I've seen maybe the first first my nieces love that show uh and i've and every time i'm like it's funny how i'm like this i get it but then part way through i'm looking i'm like that shit ain't cake that ain't cake and yeah it's fucking cake

like the second season is better than the first i have to say but it's so relaxing it's like literally the whole thing is can you pick if this is cake or not cake? Right. The stakes are so low that it's soothing. So low. And it kind of has the Greatest British Bake Off vibe where everyone's nice and everyone's happy.

And I would highly recommend it for like, I don't think people are talking about it enough. Did the latest season just come out or it's, we've just kind of been left at whatever the first couple of seasons that there's two seasons. So I don't know which season you watched. I think, I think I've,

I've only seen one and I think it's when it came out. Yeah. Yeah. No spoilers. No spoilers. Don't tell me. Always assume it's cake. Always assume it's cake.

Always assume it's cake. Always assume it's cake. Yeah, it's a safe bet. Yeah. This seems to be, again, like I feel like they created a whole genre of game show because now there's a new one. This is the solution that Hollywood has come up with for the writer's strike.

A David Spade reality show where he brings out a product and the contestants need to guess if it's real or not if it's like a fake product or not oh i think this is all the rage i think the next they'll be like is this a cookie is this is this a cupcake there'll be spin-offs right yeah the the bar for content is so low We're merely seeing if people's eyes and brains work. And is this water? Yeah, yeah, it's water. No, it's not. It's a bunch of saran wrap. You idiot. It's piss bug. Yeah, it's piss bug. Have you seen School of Chocolate, Liz? No, what's like the chocolate master, like of making like realistic items from chocolate that are like, it's almost like the show could be.

Is it chocolate? But it's all about chocolate sculpting. But it's a competition show where like it's not so fucking competitive that you get stressed out. Like if the person does like like the worst person in one challenge gets pulled aside by like the chocolate master for like one on one instruction. And it's like, oh, you suck. Get out of here. It's like, hey, like, let me help you a little bit so we can work on this in the next round. And you're like, wow, this is really kind and like uplifting. So, yeah, that's another one that feels very like low stakes, but positive without being like, I'll lose my house if I don't win chocolate master, you know?

Yeah, I love the baking shows where like you win a platter or you win some flowers. And it's like, in America, it would always be like, you know, oh, I'm winning $100,000. I'm going to shiv everybody. Right, right. Exactly. It's like, because I will not let this money slip through my hands. And I will debase myself in front of my children when they watch this yeah exactly so i like low low what do you call it low stakes kind of nice shows i think they're underrated yeah totally yeah nailed it is another like fun low stakes yeah kids seem to really respond to. What are you saying? I'm a child, Jack? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, no, you're not a child. You have the mind of a child. That's right. With imagination. As my man JC says, is what we should all be striving for. JC up on high. Amen. Praise Christ. Thank you so much. Is that Jesus Christ? That's right. That's my man, Jesus Christ. It's JC Chassé from NC.

I don't know if you know what this podcast is all about, but it's about spreading the good news. I've been tricked for telling. This is actually the longest we've gotten into an episode without me talking to the guest about my man JC and some of the cool things he has to say all right let's take a quick break yeah and we'll we'll be right back to talk about some news we'll be right back i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life.

We're back kevin mccarthy that's right that doesn't sound right are we sure that's right that's his name kevin mccarthy all right let's go with that yeah kevin mccarthy has announced that the house will open a formal impeachment inquiry into president joe biden despite the fact that their hearings and

investigations haven't really turned up any evidence against him directly i'm gonna go take a nap yeah it makes me tired well we kept talking about how they would do things you're like we got a whistleblower okay but they're too scared to testify and then people like is there a whistleblower they're like i don't honestly i'm not even sure there was a whistleblower. And you're like, what are you doing? Define whistle. I mean, I know somebody who was willing to say some bad stuff about Joe Byron,

but other than that, I don't know. And he's also doing it without taking a house vote, which before he was like, I'll take a house vote and we'll see what happens. You know, the polling in a lot of battleground states says most people are like, you know, 56% like an impeachment would be just a stunt, like a partisan political stunt. Like no one's like looking for this. But I think the other big thing about this is he doesn't even have the support of his own party.

It's like a lot of Republicans are even worried about how like the whole hack of it all is going to look. of Republicans are even worried about how the whole hack of it all is going to look. And especially when their logic is, we need to open an impeachment inquiry so we can find out more stuff and then we'll be able to uncover something to impeach him for, rather than we have evidence that we need to pursue that is leading us here. They're like, I don't know, man, we just need to go. Fine. We're going fishing going fishing baby but we're doing it with subpoena power and they aren't starting with real evidence and even the head of the oversight committee he even admitted that every subpoena he has issued that like to banks or other government agencies they've they've cooperated 100 given the information and he's like yeah i don't know it's. I've been denied access to anything.

I still can't find it. Still got nothing. I'm out of moves here, man. You know the term Hoover flags where your pockets are inside out? That's us, man. We got nothing. That's amazing. It seems to be based on the logic

that they like, well, the last time they did an impeachment thing they found stuff so there's probably stuff here it's like yeah well they found stuff because like they they did an investigation and there was like a lot of shit there there was a lot of smoke and fire and the time before that like you know i i guess maybe they're hoping for like a clintonian situation where it's just like embarrassing they drag some shit out that's like embarrassing right and just like create stuff like find stuff as they're looking isn't that kind of what happened with clinton like at first it wasn't about lewinsky it was about something some some other shit i don't know

i'm a political expert yeah i think it was because he lied to Congress, like lied in his depositions or something, but it was really about Monica ultimately. But the thing is like, I don't know. It's like we listen to the crazies now. Growing up, my mother was always like, don't listen to that person. They're crazy here.

And now it's like, oh, they're crazy. Let's pacify them. Yeah. I mean, there's just a massive will to try And now it's like, oh, they're crazy. Let's let's pacify them. And, you know. Yeah. I mean, there's just like a massive will to try and be like, well, you impeach Trump. So we're going to get you for what? We'll figure it out.

Figure it out. Yeah. But we're going to do it because he's going to get mad if we don't. And then I don't know how to stand up to him. So we're caught in this fucking spiral till november so we'll see where it ends up but yeah it's just like there's there's just starting off with nothing and asking for more power to to just manufacture something and i'm yeah but and i am here for it and i'm popcorn eating me i am ready spill the tea here republican yamma yamma yamma this yeah i don't know like the whole thing makes me tired because it's like it feels pointless but also like there's there is a lot at stake with biden's reputation and he seems really fragile does it like does it

feel like there's been more people being like he seems old like in the in the mainstream media lately or am i making that up i think that it's just a tactic because the election is coming up so now we're like he's super old that's in my opinion and i also think like the whole uh hunter biden, like every family can, knows, has a family member who's messed up. Yeah. I don't think that like most Americans are like,

oh, he has a son who's a mess. Like we all have somebody. And he still loves him? Yeah. What? It appeals to like this, like minority of like men who are like, I don't love my kid. Cause he's a screw up.

This guy does. He's soft. I hate him. Like what? But yeah, I mean, there is like, you know, I feel like since the earlier this year, it's like about once or twice a month. You're going to see some version of who could replace joe biden like and it's even written by like like democratic outlet you know like left-leaning outlets yeah you're trying to because i think there is the thing where i'm sure the dnc looks at the polling and a lot of democrats are like i mean like it doesn't have to be biden like that's like the energy of a lot of democratic voters they're like i don't know does that gotta be him and i think now they're kind of like oh shit like is are we fucking up by like by just like riding with this guy to the end but i

don't know i mean like it it's one of those things where despite i think a lot of democrats maybe saying i wouldn't vote for him it's like this thing where when push comes to shove they're like fuck it i'm like i would literally vote for him if he was dead. I don't care. I just don't want the fucking fascist in office. Like, yeah, like truly, if that happened, like, yeah, I'd vote for him if he was dead. Can I vote for like a 3D projection of him? Yeah, totally. A tuna fish sandwich.

I mean, I don't care. Yeah. Subway tuna. Yeah, subway tuna. I'd vote for Subway tuna. Write-in candidate, our new president, Subway tuna somehow. To the point about there being a push from various sides to make it seem like he's aging rapidly as the election approaches there was that hawaii story where i'm sure that this isn't the only time that people have been reporting shit like this but there's the thing where people were like biden fell asleep on stage and that was actually like officially debunked

because like the footage that they used to spread that story was like a close-up of footage that was i i guess they like blurred it intentionally and when you looked at the high definition footage of the exact same moment he's like got his eyes open and he's like blinking and just like kind of has his head down he's like nodding so being solemn it's there's definitely a push happening to I, I personally like don't think he's the best possible candidate. We are in the situation that we're in. Like there's the Hill article that was like the five Democratic alternatives. And it's just fucking Kamala Harris, Vice President Kamala Harris, California Governor Gavin Newsom. Those seem to be the only ones that I hear being taken seriously because she will be the president if he dies.

And he looks like a president in a movie, I think. Is that kind of the main thing? With his slicked back hair. That slicks back real nice. Real nice hair? That slicks back real nice. Real nice. That little slicked back real nice. Pete Buttigieg, who lost the election last time

and has not done anything good since then. Right. Except for excuse the bad behavior of airlines. Yeah. He's had a bad few years since not being able to beat joe biden in the election like that that feels like the case with a lot of these right like that harris like was like lost the election to yeah wasn't a great primary and has not had a

good run since then same with budaj so the the only ones that are like new untested are newsome michigan governor gretchen whitmer and aoc they have on here because she would be old enough in 2024 i think whitmer is probably your best bet there i've heard good stuff about her the most different like kind of camion a lot of like yeah a lot of democrats like have been cheering a lot of the stuff that she's been doing in michigan it's just like it's just i think the thing is that the dnc they're kind of processing this information in like a weird way because what the i think the polls what they're not articulating is that people want a different type of candidate.

Like all of these come out of the same sort of like ice tray of candidates, just in different shapes. But we're looking for a lot of people like are seeking something different where someone is speaking to what is happening to people in a way that actually seems authentic and believable. Because all these people are just super polished like political operatives they're not like the kind of people who like can like light up a room and like make every person feel like they're seen and heard and like in a way that like you know donald trump completely abandoned like normal political speak and people like whoa that's different

yeah not to say that that's better i feel like aoc kind of has that a little bit sometimes no she does she does but i have a i mean i can't imagine the establishment circling around her yeah so no no they would tear her to shreds yeah like i just don't know times yeah the second she'd be like i don't i think we need to end qualified immunity for the police it's like well there goes all your union fucking endorsements yeah like yeah and that's all it's like a fucking balancing act of how to keep certain people in you know your coalition but also trying to present something that's a little bit forward thinking and that's just i think an impossible feat for them right now yeah i i view it as like two separate things there's like the you know what i think is good for the country and what i think like the country like what ideas the country should be moving towards and then there's the

like sporting event of keeping the nazis out of office that is this one and so on that one i'm just like i don't know is whitmer how's whitmer's arm she lefty she like keep you off balance like what are we looking at here like what how are what are the saber metrics people say about her right so from that like that's kind of how i'm going to this election is i'm just like fuck it you know let's but uh yeah the whole thing makes me yeah because we're in dire need of something really remarkably different and revolutionary. But yes, all of these fall flat. I mean, I sort of feel like, you know, there's perfect and then there's what we have to deal with. And I think that's what we have to deal with right now. And it's like when you're fighting like real evil, you have to suck it up and do what's the best alternative at the time to fight that evil.

Why is he he gotta be so old though he can't help it he's grown to be that old because he was born 80 years ago that's why he's that old because his parents had sex 80 years ago that's all that's the only reason why now i'm distracted thinking about joe Joe Biden's parents having sex during the great depression. Oh God. But yeah, I mean like Newsom has said that he wouldn't run against Kamala and,

but I think he's just being diplomatic because they've always kind of been in this competition. Like they entered the political scene at the same time with him becoming San Francisco's youngest mayor and her becoming san francisco's da and the state's first black district attorney in 2005 and they've always kind of helped each other but then there's also like when barbara boxer retired and that seat opened up gavin newsom wanted that senate seat too but deferred to kamala and then ran for governor so i think part part of them, despite what he says, has always been keeping an eye on the national stage.

That's why he keeps fucking, you know, trying to debate Ron DeSantis. So I don't, I don't count. Unless you want me to, unless you want me to, but yeah,

literally one person asks me to, which case I'll be like, I've been called. Yeah. He's doing the thing of like reluctant guy where he's like no man i've told all the donors we're getting behind joe like it just is what it is folks we're moving on he's like i wouldn't run against connell and then all it's going to take is like the slight you know vibe shift and he's like yeah i mean i should

have been present this whole time yeah yeah so you know i run the what is it like the fifth largest economy basically if california was true fuck boy energy where he's like i couldn't i really shouldn't but winking i couldn't unless you really want me to yeah oh totally oh do you really want me to i shouldn't though we really shouldn't we really i'm married we really shouldn't but okay uh all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about some things that aren't politics. Ah, we'll be right back.

KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away.

I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, everyone.

And not everybody was as sensitive and thoughtful and careful in their 9-11 coverage as Miles and I were in our Monday morning episode. For instance, I feel like no one will ever beat the mattress store ad in which two guys crash into twin towers made of mattresses what i didn't see that yeah it got taken down really quickly but it was just a standard local mattress ad except they were like 9-11 sale what better way to remember 9-11 than with a twin tower sale uh-oh oh wait have i oh they tried to make it private,

but, you know, the internet never forgets. Have you seen it, Liz? I have not seen it. Okay, let me pull this clip up. Poor taste doesn't begin to describe this ad from a local mattress retailer.

Oh, fuck you, Chris Cuomo. The Twin Towers sale. Right now, you can get any size mattress for a twin price. Store-wide sale all day long. We'll never forget. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Holy shit. It's like, who approves this? Like, who? I mean, everything has to go through so many people and no one said, no,

you shouldn't be doing this. Yeah. Really? Like that feels like a leaked, like work training video or something. Like it does. It doesn't feel like an actual ad that ran. And I,

I don't know. Maybe, maybe it is. The whole thing is like an actual ad that ran. And I don't know. Maybe it is. The whole thing is like a little fishy to me. Think of the wildest shit you've seen on your local cable station, though. You know what I mean? Like, there are some, like, you know, we used to have Crazy Gideon. You know, like, the ads were just unhinged. That's true.

Local ads are just unhinged. That's true. It's like, gang, if you live in Texas and you saw this shit please let us know i want i want to i want to just like know what it's it's an amazing like the the performances yeah they really lean into it they put their whole back into this thing literally a 9-11 joke yeah well i think when you're given that script you really have to sell it you're like alright well this is what I was hired to do I'm going to throw myself into this because this is weird

you ever see the Kmart ad that was like I ship my pants so it's all these I ship my and it's really funny actually but I don't think it ever ran but that's funny I digress 9-11 like what

just the facial expressions are really like impressive so anyways draft draft kings threw their hat in the ring they threw their crown in the ring draft draft kings are my king they threw their crown in the ring by unveiling a parlay on Monday called Never Forget, where you could bet on all three New York teams to win, both in order to honor the victims of 9-11 while also basically just handing your money to DraftKings, since the New York Mets are not very good. The New York Jets also not very good. Yeah. I don't know. It immediately got a lot of backlash. I mean, it's a lot of backlash. It was just cheap conflict, just scandal marketing.

They just wanted to get outraged. Like calling it like they knew what was going to happen. And again, they're, their apology is like, yeah, dude, we already had it pre-written because we knew there would be light backlash. We sincerely apologize for the featured parlay that was shared briefly in commemoration of 9-11. In commemoration?

I'm still stuck with it. It was shared briefly in commemoration of 9-11 we were honoring 9-11 victims by the way i love the word parlay like yeah who uses that word well yeah when you're betting multiple teams gamblers yeah that's a real big gambling term i think i wonder too if their whole thing is like they're like it's 22 Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's all bets are off now. All bets are off. Like, and I think it's every year there's, like, some company testing America's collective, like, gut about, like, 9-11 jokes. Like, are we ready?

I still say never forget at inappropriate times. Yeah, I mean, I think we've been saying that since 9-11, you know. And maybe it's not funny. Maybe DraftKings saying that since 9-11, you know, as like a cynical teenager. And maybe it's not funny. Maybe DraftKings has taught us all a lesson, you know? Yeah. But yeah, it felt pretty transparently cynical, like in terms of like, it didn't even make sense as a bet. Like it doesn't, it's just the kind of thing where people are going to screen cap it and then be like what the fuck is going on draft kings and like hey people talking about draft

kings again we sincerely apologize for the featured parlay that was shared it's like there's like product details in the apology featured parlay featured briefly in commemoration of 9-11 we respect the significance of this day for our country and especially for the families of those who were directly affected damn man that's fucked up to like specifically call them out in your thing while also drawing attention to your amazing

parlays I mean the stock price is down right now oh is it draft case damn they may have fucked around and found out that a lot of people who buy gambling stock are also they don't fuck around with 9-11, Joe. Yeah, 9-11 kind of a big deal on Wall Street for some reason. I still feel like we're all at it. None of us want to say it, but we're slowing down with the 9-11.

I saw something about making it a holiday which is perfectly great i'm not against it you know but i feel like as a country we're a little like must we have so much remembrance on 9-11 like well yeah because it's always like remember the tragedy that happened that day but don't remember the tragedies that the U.S. inflicted upon the people that were radicalized to want to attack the United States in the first place. It's like, don't worry about that. Yeah. Yeah. A bunch of kids died in Iraq.

OK, when the Clintons were in office. And remember this since then, too. Yeah. But I mean, like, think about like, it's all just like that's again why it it i think that's the reinforcement is like remember that scary part don't think about anything else that had to do with it and you know let's move on and jack can continue to have to explain it to his kids moving along nothing to see here well in better news, Gatorade has unveiled new hydration technology. 9-11-Aid.

9-11-Aid. It is called water. Gatorade water. Fuck off. Yeah, it's fucking water, but in a Gatorade bottle. Well, what's different, Jack? It can't just be water because I know that- It's functional water, bro.

Oh, okay. It's alkaline water that's gone through a seven-step enhanced filtration process. Okay. Okay. Go on. According to the president of Gatorade, they wanted to give customers some perceived health benefits. His words. His words.

Perceived health benefits. That's wild. What the fuck? Yeah, yeah. It's a perceived those are perceived benefits gatorade is i think one of the best examples we did a episode liz not too long ago about placebos oh i guess and miles you were out that week yeah yeah yeah and like how the color of a pill can really affect like how impactful it is especially when it comes to like if it's something that is trying to like calm you down it right it works way better when it's blue like a sleeping pill or an anti-anxiety pill works better when it's blue and if it's something that's supposed

to like pep you up like a day quill orange baby like it works better when it's in a warm color but like so they've done studies gatorade people who drink gatorade are more well hydrated than people who drink water and the reason for that is because gatorade tastes fucking awesome and so everybody just drinks way more of it and it also looks cool like it looks like cartoon refreshment like it like the water is the color of or like the gatorade is the color of like a cartoon glacier yeah and it tastes amazing so yeah of course like it makes it so like for him to come out and be like that we want to pass along some perceived health benefits like they know what game they're in you know yeah yeah i i mean i'm always freaked out by like i mean i guess none of the colors actually like orange yellow but then when they get in the frosty blue i'm like that doesn't look

right if there's something about it that weirds me out well because it's the same color as the water at uh adventure golf like yeah right miniature golf place or like barbicide yes and barbicide they should just call that shit barbicide we'd still drink it i drink dude if they make gatorade like window washing fluid windex oh yeah i'm between gatorade and i'm pounding that shit i don't care because again their marketing is also fantastic in that they made you think that if you drink gatorade and I'm pounding that shit I don't care because again their marketing is also fantastic in that they made you think that if you drink Gatorade you're actually Michael Jordan or you're any athlete who's gonna like and I remember those black and white commercials

where people had like radioactive sweat like the color of their sweat was like Gatorade the Gatorade and then it's like is it in you and it's like shit dude I don't know man I'm fucking 12 and I'm like riding a bicycle but i think i need to drink lemon ice like fucking eight times a day or i'll die my nieces and nephews were super into it for a long time but gatorade i'm like you're not derrick jeter right but that's the they combined the perception with it and i'm now a perceived der cheater. They don't lie in the ads. Like Mike, if I could be like Mike. That song opens. It's not like I'm going to be like Michael Jordan.

It's like sometimes I dream that I could be. It's like they're like, no, you dumb dumb. We're just giving you a fantasy. We're selling you a fantasy that this shit works we're trying to pass along some perceived health benefits that's all that term is fucking evil man you can pretend you're michael jordan you're not actually him you little fucking idiots that's amazing that they've just been like evil out in the open like or not 100 just like honest that they're lying honest about their dishonesty well they're like well these have electrolytes

in them and you're like you mean like salts yeah yeah they invented the term electrolyte or i mean they didn't rebranded like salt as electrolytes which again is quote the scientific term for molecules that produce ions when dissolved in water pretty easy but they're like you need electrolytes man it was called salt water before but then people were like the the marketing geniuses at gatorade and i'm not saying that sarcastically they truly are geniuses we're like what's a scientific word for this and yeah they changed it to electrolytes so it does like that term when used with regards to like things that people drink that comes from gatorade right the thing they're entering here that is bullshit is the alkaline thing like right there's been a like whole thing with like whether you know eating an alkaline diet has been shown to

like help your help regulate the ph levels in your body and like lead to better health that's like a a long-standing bullshit health claim that like eating according to ph only really changes the ph of your urine but that's what i'm Jack, to see what my body is saying. Because I'm going to drink it. To offset what the vaccine did to me. But the studies of alkaline diets say they're bullshit. And they actually date back to the 1930s when Joe Biden was conceived. the 1930s when joe biden was conceived and one of like that there were a bunch of diet fads that offered the illusion of control over one's circumstances during the great depression and

alkaline diets were like one of the one of the big ones back then so it makes sense that again like evil marketing geniuses are like all right so, so we've got a depression happening right now, but nobody's calling it that. So we can just like wail on these people with like old Great Depression marketing tactics. Like literal snake oil. By the way, the David Spade show, I think is called Snake Oil.

Oh, it came back to you. Yeah, it's probably the same reason it's becoming popular now as people want the illusion of control over one's circumstances yeah i'm surprised that's not a direct quote from the president of gatorade i'm always i'm always a sucker though like if i see something like it helps your electrolytes, it's smart water, whatever. I am a sucker for it. But ultimately, you know that it's it's ridiculous. I'm drinking water.

Yeah. But but it's it's it's one of those things where, you know, like even Gatorade, they like convince people. They're like, if you exercise, you're going to be so fucking dehydrated that you have to drink Gatorade or you're fucking up. Yeah. And I'm like, I know know i know when even like like like physical fitness experts are looking at like your metabolism and shit they're like uh you wouldn't need anything like this unless you're doing like exercise it's like over 90 minutes straight yeah so like if you're running a marathon gatorade is an effective like tool to have on hand

if you are playing a lot of xbox college football yeah doing two a days in the hot summer in Florida, which is where it was invented. Otherwise you don't need it, but it makes us feel better. Hence Gator aid. Yeah. People who didn't know. Yeah.

Yeah. It was invented by like the university of Florida, like team doctor. And he was like, I don't know. I put a bunch of salt water and sugar together. Really? I never knew that.

Yeah, that's why it's called Gatorade. And then it was sold to a canned goods company. But then just went hog wild with it. They're like, let's invent our own sports science fucking laboratory to help pad all of our claims of perceived health benefits.

Florida is magical. it's a magical place all good things come from it folks we've been saying it folks yep one of the greats one of the band we love it don't we but it is interesting because like uh gatorade in order to get people to like believe that they need a gatorade they've had to be claiming that water sucks right water is bullshit you don't want to drink water what do you want to drink water for that's not gonna quench your thirst you need gatorade full and now they're now they've come crawling back they got gatorade water it is like electrolytes like like drinking just a shit ton of electrolytes does seem to be a fad like i'm seeing that more and more in la right now just like electrolyte claims oh well like i was like on a call with a agent and they

were like pounding electrolytes they're like oh you got to get this electrolytes, man. These ones are like the top tier electrolytes. And like all my clients swear by them. What do they do? They light your electrodes, man. That's what you need, man. Light up the electrodes. Yeah.

It's kind of like bone broth. Bone broth. Yeah. Yeah. Which I was like, well, it's something for like supermodels to drink. I mean,

it's just broth. It's just like ridiculous. But it's bones, man. What'd you say? I said, but it's bones. It's bones.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits.
