First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about Love is Blind. I have not watched it. Both of y'all have. I'm going to ask you to sell me on it.

Yeah, sure. We're going to talk about Chuck Schumer going full WWE on the Supreme Court and how that's being treated by the conservative media. Elizabeth Warren has dropped out of the presidential race. We're going to talk about that and what the future might hold for her. We're going to talk about just Biden jazz. We're going to listen to a little Biden jazz. Yeah. Jack, we're going to listen to a little Biden jazz, man.

Could be a real jazzy general election, y'all. Yeah, seriously. Because another story real jazzy general election, y'all. Yeah, seriously. Because another story we're going to talk about, Biden is up 49 points in Florida. And the mainstream media is so horny for Biden to just put, just end Sanders' run. I'm surprised some of them aren't like, Biden's going to curb stop Bernie in Florida. The energy behind some of these headlines. I'm like, what? We're going to talk about distrust of

government, how that relates to Corona. We're going to talk about Mulan because that's coming up and apparently early tracking is it's going to blow the fuck up. We're going to talk about which for some reason I'm cheering for, even though it's like a live action adaptation of a Disney movie.

That you might not even see. Yeah. That's my team. We're also going to talk about a huge, another huge food crossover. And Christy Teigen's Girl Scout cookie ratings. All of that. Plenty more. But first, Blair, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Oh, okay. My last search was Post Malone lyrics. Just the, not even a specific song? Congratulations. Okay, I was going to say, let's get into it. I couldn't understand what he was saying. I used to have some shame about how much I like Post post malone but now i've really embraced it yeah i feel like he's an incredible artist yeah he just said some dumb shit like he doesn't do hip

hop or some shit and i was like okay fool really i mean he's just trying to make his music as broadly applicable whatever yeah but like when you start like turning your back on like this shit that is gonna get you to the point where you're at like miss me with that but yeah i do love his singing especially when he actually sings like when he does country when i first heard him do country i was like what the fuck yeah okay look at you sir yeah he always wears like these fucking johnny cash suits now too with like his face tattoos right yeah what was it about congratulations is just did you were you feeling like a congratulations vibe and you want to be able to sing along properly? Yeah, no, I was just like, what did he say?

Right, he's like, your mama's comb? When I listened to him, though, I'm like, what was that? My mama comb. Yeah. Sitting on your TV. I'm like, what? Okay. What I like about it is I always feel high when I, and I'm like, I'm not high. It's the same feeling of when I get pulled over. I'm like, I'm high, I'm drunk, but I'm like, what? Okay. What I like about it is I always feel high, and I'm like, I'm not high.

It's the same feeling of when I get pulled over. I'm like, I'm high, I'm drunk, but I'm not. So just pure panic he instills in you? You get pulled over a lot? In a different way. Sometimes I will take some risks on some yielding lights. Wow. Like merging onto the highway going the wrong way.

You know, like that type of thing. Sometimes I test out the do not enter wrong way signs just to see if they're serious. Right. No, I definitely get that residual pang of panic every time I see a cop that like, you know, I'm not doing anything wrong anymore. Oh, you guys do, huh? Yeah, and you're white. Yeah, I know. I know. I feel the same.

I'm like, this is unjustified. But it's just a guilt thing more than anything else. Yeah, yeah. Like, I'm just a very guilty person. Were you raised in a guilty religion? Catholicism? Yes, yes, except for that my family wasn't practicing. Oh, okay.

Oh, that's good. You worshipped pasta. No, it was like self-inflicted. Oh, wow. Self-inflicted. The best kind. You didn't even need no theology to get that killed. No, because I just take everything really literally, and I'm very sensitive.

So when I was a kid and I was being immersed in it, because my parents did make us go to all the classes and catechism and everything even though they didn't like practice it. And who was your confirmation saint? I forget. Okay. But like even younger. Blaze. Blaze? Saint Blaze. That's not real. Yeah French saint.

No. Because yo everybody was fighting over that saint because it was Blaze. Saint Blaze? Because it was like yo full Blaze. Even though I wasn't even confirmed, I just, like in our religion classes, they would talk about it, and I'd be like, yo, that would be tight. What did that saint do? Not even Catholic, but.

Just like erupt in flames? I don't know. I mean, I heard he was like, he was a real wavy guy. He was a real one. Yeah, he was. What is something you think, wait. He was a physician, okay?

He was a physician? Yeah. Oh, wow, a man of science. He was a physician? Yeah. Dr. Blaze. He was venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Eastern Orthodox Church. Patron saint of wool comers and throat disease. And also Venice Beach. Oh, he eats pussy. Yeah.

Dr. Blaze? That's like definitely one of those dudes in a green coat who... Oh, hell yeah. What is something you think is overrated? The food yogurt. Yeah, definitely I'm going to go with yogurt. Yogurt as a food is bad. Cherry flavored snot.

Are you only eating cherry flavored yogurt? No, but I just, it's all together is cherry flavored snot. What do you like about yogurt? The tang? The consistency is something that would come out of a pussy that is unwell. Oh my God. Is that all you think of when you eat yogurt? Yeah, and also there's a lot of things I don't like about it.

People, I feel, eat it too liberally in public. There's no scenario that I should. I shouldn't be forced to watch you unselfconsciously lick a blob off a spoon. Right. Like, I don't want to see any licking of the remnants off of a spoon. It grosses me out. Also, the last thing that really bothers me about it is that it's heralded as like a miracle

health food in the same way that cranberry juice is for the UTI. And it's like all these adults and these parents, and there was like that acidophilus craze in the 90s. Oh, hell yeah, my parents were on that shit too. All the parents were like force fucking feeding it, and it was just, I'm like, this is all a sham. This isn't affected anyone's GI tract to the point of recovery. It's all being forced down our throats,

and not even in an amount that would ever do anything good for us. So really we're just suffering through this gross ass thing. The look of anger on your face right now is something to behold. All your chewing tobacco spilled out of your mouth.

Just spitting skull. because I like, I pretty much eat everything. I'm like the least picky eater on earth. Do you draw the line at yogurt? That's the one thing I don't like. That's wild. Wait, so you're good with pudding but not yogurt?

Absolutely. Wow. Wait, but now you're contradicting. Pour that fucking chocolate shit down my mouth. I'll slam a pudding down my fucking hatch. Wait, so with the... Down my fucking hatch. But you said you don't like people licking a blob off a spoon.

Pudding is a blob off a spoon sport. Yeah, I do that in privacy of my own home if I did eat it. Oh, so you don't like public blob spooning. Yeah, or just like... It's a private thing. Okay. Yeah. I hear you.

What is something you think is underrated? Definitely Joe Biden. Got Michael Ian Black in the building right um no just kidding the movie birds of prey okay good um yeah like i was forced to go see it not forced to go see it but i was on the road and i went with funches and gabe because they wanted to see it i never would have gone on my own and then it was so much fun it was just a fun movie it's very cartoony and stuff but also like i really feel that's the thing that's missing in like comedy and movies and everything today is fun like there's no fun in anything and i just thought it

was so fun and i also um on a micro level of underrated want to go with Chris Messina with bleached hair. Incredible. Was very attracted. Wait, who? Chris Messina. He played the killer henchman. He has bleached hair. Yeah, he looks so fucking sexy. Also, Chris

Messina has been in literally every movie of all time so he didn't have to take that weird supporting role because usually yeah he was like he's like i just want to take the mandy project yeah i feel like he just took like a fun he's like i'll just take this weird role hey man there's a there's a lot of joe biden today yeah yeah there's a lot of biden in me i'm just gonna say it there's a lot of Biden in me. I'm just going to say it. There's a lot of Biden in any aging white man, but I think I've got extra doses of it. But anyways, I do love The Mandy Project and Chris Metzina's.

That Mandy curling, I tell you. Finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? I guess it's for my past self. Like the main thing is I – Wow. Okay. I like this.

When I was a teen in Orange County, I would have to – So like three years ago? Yeah, exactly. I'd want to tell my teen self that you can still eat a bag of bacon a day in the literal sense, and men will still want to have sex with you. Wow. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.

Yeah. What happened? What? You were on a pretty, you're doing a bag a day? No, that's what I do now. You're doing a bag a day right now? Yeah, in the morning. Wow.

Not the kind that you buy. Where? Why is it in a bag? Wow. Not the kind that you buy. Where? Why is it in a bag? Not the kind that you buy at the store bag. I'm like, you're eating a half pound of bacon every day?

Oaks Gourmet. Shout out to Oaks Gourmet. They're like the place down the street from me, coffee, food place. And they just give me a side of bacon in a paper bag every morning with my coffee. Oh, wow. I was thinking real some real gangster bacon look we're talking i'm eating a fucking half pea a day no it's it's six um at least six pieces of thick cut bacon so every morning raw you said right yeah just raw cook it in my. Just nice and slow and slow. But yeah, so I'm doing pretty well. Did you used to look at your bacon eating self and be like,

there's no one going to love you. Just did it in the dark, quietly. Yeah, when you're a teen, it's, when you're, I mean, it was year round bikini culture there. Very bad for the children, women, you know, their values, way too paced. And I was so afraid of everything. I was so thinking about everything that I ate all the time. And now I really just eat what I want and it's just fine.

No one's perfect. I don't have to be perfect. Right. Eat what you want. There you go. All right. Let's move on to Love is Blind, which is something that I think you fall into two camps here. Either somebody who's watching it and evangelizing about it,

or you haven't seen it and people are telling you you have to watch it. So we are going to talk about it real quick because I fall in the latter camp. I have not seen it. Miles, super producer on a Hosniyeh, talk about it every day Non-stop Because I still need to watch the reunions They won't talk to me off mic They just ignore me

That's our rule here And Blair you've seen it too I sure have what's wrong Jack You don't have 10 free hours What do you got like a family This is what I've been telling people bro If this family shit is going to get in my trash TV time, priorities, right? Yeah, it's work.

Yeah, I will die alone as long as I have time to watch my stories. So, all right. So, the premise seems to be it's like a blind taste test. Not taste test. Blind test. Like you date somebody without seeing them, you're in this weird like confession booth

shout out to the Catholic Church and you're talking to them, they don't turn out to be a priest, they turn out to be incredibly attractive person which I think that's interesting that like the premise would lead you to believe that

or would suggest the interesting thing to do would be like, yeah, but this person isn't what you expected them to look like, but you fell in love with them. I mean, yeah. But instead it's all just people being like, oh, wow, you're super hot. Yeah, well, it's a nice experiment, right? Because their whole thing is it's the premises. Can two people fall in love just through the vocal and the verbal interactions?

And we find out in the first episode, yes, they can. Yeah, you were sure. Lauren and Cameron, who is the couple I have the most faith in, which is oddly enough in the beginning, I was like, oh, no, no, no, sir. Why are y'all already saying I love you through the wall? But they were like, there's something about the show that I think it's half like, man, I wonder if I could have done something like that. The other half is like, man, what the fuck is wrong with these people?

And there's also a lot of, I don't know, people bring their own shit to it, I realize, too. Like, I watch it as somebody, if I was single and watching it, I would probably like it for different reasons than being if i was single and watching it i would probably like it for different reasons than being in a relationship now watching it but i think at the end of the day it's all about how messy these people are and how some people don't know what they want actually and the stakes are just all over the place so right the the that central core conceit seems like it's the sort of thing that would last a single episode. I mean, it did. The dating game was that, right?

Right, right, right. She was choosing between people who she couldn't see. But the stakes here are like, can you get married? Right. So you have to propose before you see them. Is that right? Yeah. I was so thrown off by them being attractive.

I was like, I thought that it was going to be way less attractive people, that they were going to be like, ha-ha, you believed in love. Oh, you thought you weren't superficial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think they make it easy by making everyone look very... I could not believe how fast the wheels went off. These people that are like, yeah, I just know I'm practical and stuff, but it's just been so hard dating.

And then they're like, ha-ha, you like wine I'm practical and stuff. But it's just been so hard dating. And then they're like, you like wine? I like wine too. Will you marry me? Yeah. And they're like, this is soul connection. I've never experienced this in my life. You're also on a couch and I'm on a couch.

Let's do this. I was like, whoa. I was trying to understand if they were for real like how genuine it was. I mean, it's clear by the end when you start them, like couples start falling off. Some people you're like, this is not going to work. It's affirmed during the wedding

part. That's what makes the show even more brutal, right? Because the final episode is the wedding, but up until that time, there's still the chance that they might still show up to the altar just to say no. I thought that was a weird thing, to be honest, because they both say, yeah, you're like, OK, well, here's a real hitch in the game. Because they have the wedding, whether you've decided before that you're not going to do it or not. Unless you've completely broken up. There were couples that were like, we're not even going to get to that point.

Oh, really? It's a wrap. Like Carlton. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And Diamond. Is that what it was? Yeah, yeah, Carlton and Diamond. And Jessica and Mark.

Dude, Jessica and Mark. Jessica. Mark is like this sweet 24-year-old, and Jessica could spit in his fucking mouth. And he's like, look, it's so great. We're just working through challenges. That was hot. She punches him in the face, and he's like, you're the dumbest. She's toughening me up.

There's nothing she could say to him to make him fall off. And I think the reason why a lot of people watch it is there's nothing. It's not so high concept that you have to be like oh I don't like shows like that. It's like do you want to see two people try and marry each other only from talking to each other through a thin wall? Right. Then this is what the show is.

But our new producer Joel was saying that they have like one of the highest hit rates of any like show in terms of relationships working out. Right? They went into it not thinking that many people would end up proposing, and they ended up with four couples. I saw news today that, I haven't seen the reunion yet, but I saw news today that Janina and what's-his-face are still together.

For real? Yeah, they got back together. Was his name Clayton or Clay? What was his name? Damien. Damien. They got back together a few hours after the wedding was over. Wow.

Well, he was talking like, he was like, I'll still always love her. Even though I told her straight up, I'm not going to marry her right now. Because I, their whole, I mean, look. She was a nightmare. Hot as hell though. I bet she throws down in the sack. Yeah. Well, she definitely, remember?

Because at one point she was like, have you ever noticed how you'd be like the sex is really good and i don't say that to you yeah and it's like i was like how does anyone come back from that yeah i would be like not only fine even if that's true but the second level that you would say that on national tv oh my you're only left with being like whoa well, but you didn't say I was bad. That's the most you can say, and that's what he did say. You didn't say I was bad. And then Jessica and Barnett, it was just like,

yeah, I like to party. I like to party too. Are you from Georgia also? Yeah, and then she was like, and then she just drops it later on. She's like, and I actually have a ton of debt and credit card debt and $20,000. And he was like, what? His eyes lit up when she's like, I have a student loan and I don't have a degree.

And she's like, and I don't really like to work and I don't have a job and I only work one day a week. And he's like, oh, I'm already engaged to her. Okay. Did they end up together? Look, I don't want to spoil anything. Okay, okay. But check it out. Was she lying ahead of that? Was she saying she did have

that stuff or she was just steering away? It hadn't come up because they do it so fast. Oh, because they got engaged after three days on a reality show? Yes! And you don't do things like, what are your finances like? Right, yeah, yeah. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back with some news.

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.

Just going full WWE character, calling out another WWE character. I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. Yeah. response to a case that the Supreme Court is hearing arguments for that could essentially, based on the makeup of the Supreme Court, could make it so that there are no abortion clinics in the state of Louisiana. And it's all around this notion of like admitting privileges for a doctor, saying that if you are providing an abortion, that you need to have admitting privileges. But there was a decision that came a few years ago that said by doing that

basically renders an abortion clinic moot because they won't be able to get those admitting privileges or many places would have to shut down if that were the criteria to stay open. But because now we have even more conservatives on the bench, they're trying every which way to do that. So, and a lot of people are like it, the whole admitting privileges thing is so narrow. And if the people at the Supreme court, like spoke to ER doctors, like if something went wrong at an abortion clinic, they would get you to a hospital. Um, and the, the, the safety of it, it's a, it's a, there's

not, it's not typical that people need to be emergency, emergency rushed to the hospital because of, uh, like a terrible mishap. But by having these admitting privileges, like, you know, if you get to the hospital and you're in an emergency situation, those doctors can get all your records. They can talk to your doctor. The only thing that this admitting privileges thing is really going to do is that so that the doctor can be in the hospital with you and attend to you while you're in there. Right.

So it's like not even, it doesn't make sense sort of the sequentially in terms of healthcare, why a doctor would need that given. But a lot of the people on the right are doing it more from like a concern standpoint of like, but you know what, if something goes wrong, they need to be able to, and that's really what it's about rather than completely kneecapping any kind of reproductive rights. So, yeah, there were protesters outside there. You know, a lot of people. The feeling is that this is an inevitability because of the amount of conservative justices and that they are ready to do whatever they can to, you know, reduce the protections that were provided by Roe. they can to reduce the protections that were provided by Roe.

That's why Chuck Schumer was out there rallying people, saying that if you are going to decide in this way, prepare yourself for the whirlwind. And that had everyone being like, oh my gosh, they're threatening the Supreme Court. Mind you, most likely a reference to what Brett Kavanaugh, Brett Kavanaugh had a very similar quote when he was going through his confirmation because at the time he was doing the thing about how he's a victim and like you know

if they can do it to me they're going to do it to anybody be warned guys you could be a sex crim and somebody's going to try and hold you accountable was sort of like the thrust of it and the Kavanaugh quote was something about quote sowed the wind for you've sowed the wind for decades to was sort of like the thrust of it. And the Kavanaugh quote was something about, quote, sowed the wind for, oh, you've sowed the wind for decades to come.

I fear that the whole country will reap the whirlwind. Yes. That was what Brett Kavanaugh said during his confirmation. Got it. So that was what he was alluding to. But of course, the Republicans are looking for a reason to be like, completely forget that Donald Trump was coming at, uh, justices Sotomayor and Ginsburg, uh, just around, I don't know, 10 days ago, two weeks ago. Uh, but there was nothing, it was crickets. But again, this, this thing where he's

referencing or using the own words of the Supreme court justice. I mean, I get it. If you're trying to say you can't treat the court like a political entity i understand that sentiment but this isn't we're sadly we're past that now because the supreme court has become an overtly political entity yeah so yeah it's a bit of a back and forth and just like at a kind of a remove this is a war on you know people who don't have the means to cross state lines or, you know, it's going to just cause a lot of unsafe abortions or, you know, just bad situations for a lot of people. And that tends to be the, you know, the conservative party in America's way of dealing with things like this is just to make it awful for people who aren't wealthy.

Yeah. But you know, like chief justice Roberts was like, I can't like was gobsmacked. Unbelievable. Could it was in a state of disbelief about, um, about what Schumer had said,

but like not even really can like, again, clearly, uh, he's being a nonpartisan with his response. McConnell was treating it like Schumer had hired, went on the dark web and found somebody who will do an actual hit

for three bitcoins or some shit. But it's all just sort of all while simultaneously, again, ignoring that the president does this so regularly. Oh, Gans the Gaslight. Yeah, calls people Obama judges and shit like that, which Roberts did have to push back on at one point. But at the end of the day, it's just very much,

let's try and make a mountain out of a molehill. But the real stakes here are people's reproductive rights. Right. So frustrating. Yeah. Like you're trying to take the whole story away from the actual issue. Right. On to just like, I didn't like the way that was said.

Right. Yeah. And it's like, this is such a big deal. Yeah. Yeah. This is going to be, I feel like, a constant contradiction we keep coming back to during the 2020 race where Republicans get outraged about a lack of civility on the behalf of anybody who's not the president while the president gets to literally or figuratively shoot people on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight. Right. Well, they want to have their misogynistic cake and eat it too.

Yeah. Let's talk about the 2020 primary. Elizabeth Warren has dropped out. Yeah. She's not going to endorse anyone at the moment. And, Miles, you were pointing out that she waited until the nomination to endorse Hillary last time. So, you know, maybe she'll sit it out.

On one side, people, a lot of progressives are asking, can you back Bernie Sanders and try and make sure that there's some kind of progressive like movement as well to counter what Joe Biden is pitching people? Yeah. I mean, we'll see. I mean, I think that's her decision to make. I think the great thing about her campaign was that it showed that there was a lot of energy for progressive causes and there was a lot of energy for substantive change. Right. And I think a lot

of the fear would be that for the campaign that she was running and the values that she was running on, that she wouldn't look if she's going to endorse Biden after the nomination. That's one thing. But you'd hope that she would say, though, like one of the few campaigns or the only campaign that has a shot of doing any kind of the things that were similar to her platform would be Bernie Sanders. Right. You know, again, that's her decision to make. Bernie Sanders was to be like, you know, she's got to think about this and do what's right for her. Yeah. And people have to respect that decision. I'm sure the DNC is also, you know, she's got to think about this and do what's right for her. Yeah. And people have to respect that decision. I'm sure the DNC is also, you know, or like Democratic Party officials are also saying, like, you can do good by being in the cabinet, which will give you a great cabinet position if you're, you know, if you endorse Biden. I mean, they've and, you know, I've I didn't really realize how much beef she had with Joe Biden over the years.

Yeah, I didn't either when I said that I thought she would endorse Biden on yesterday's episode. Well, the reason I would even think that is because I've just become so cynical as to what the party needs to happen and the class of people they're trying to protect with a given presidency. But, you know, Joe Biden is a champion of the credit card companies. He is Mr. Credit Card and loves the creditors. Elizabeth Warren was all about consumer protections and things like that. So at the time when he was even vice president, they would butt heads when she was forming the Consumer Protection Finance Bureau. But again, I think it's, it's hard to know how it's all going to shake out. There's a lot of variables involved at the end of the day. It was, I think the misogyny aspect definitely hurt with a lot of voters or a lot of, a lot of people supporting her.

I think there's like a thing of being like a lot of people point to like, well, you know, Bernie Sanders is too liberal. Right. And that might make sense if you're given like what the middle is. And I think the combination of her being a progressive and a woman, unfortunately, probably exacerbated those biases against her. But nonetheless, we'll see what happens with the rest of her campaign and where the supporters go and ultimately figure out who this nominee is going to be. Yeah. I have a question. orders go and ultimately figure out who this nominee is going to be. Yeah.

I have a question. Does Obama still, like, would he still endorse Biden? Possibly. I mean, he's saying he's been keeping the cards close to the chest. That's what I'm saying because he hasn't said anything right since the beginning when he was, like, announcing his. But that's got to be coming soon, I think. I'd imagine so. It's surprising, yeah.

Unless he really thinks that he doesn't want to... Unfairly. Take out any momentum from progressives who are still supporting Sanders and Warren supporters who might be figuring out who they want to get behind. Yeah, what if Biden's like, oh, can I get that endorsement now? Change my mind.

And Obama's like, oh, sorry, dude. Right. Yeah. Right. I mean, Obama is somebody who said if it looked like Sanders was going to get the nomination, somebody would have to, quote, do something. So he's pretty hostile toward Sanders's progressive agenda. Why is he hostile towards him?

Sanders' progressive agenda. Why is he hostile towards him? Because he's... I think he probably buys the idea that Sanders would lose. And I think he... I mean, he bought the idea. Bernie also tried to primary him.

Thought about primarying him, too, when he was in office. Because Bernie was like, we're not going far enough to help people. Okay. They've butted heads, but there's new ads out that are cut with a lot of Obama's opinions on Bernie Sanders, too, to try and appeal to— Moderns? Well, that and any of Biden's base, people of color, anyone who might still see what they think. What's the difference between Biden? Is Obama only like Biden

because Bloomberg knows his, you know, the opinion of Barack Obama still carries tremendous weight for Democrats. So any person who's running a campaign is going to try and use his voice or his ideas to, you know, help familiarize themselves with other voters. Yeah. So Biden is up 49 points in Florida. Politico is saying that Biden can finish Sanders in Michigan. Apparently some positive polling for Biden has come out recently. And if Sanders loses Michigan, which I think they were counting on, they're basically saying it's as good as over. And in fact, in that article, the polling experts who completely fucked up the 2016 election are saying that it's basically a done deal. I'm saying it's a done deal helps people stay home too.

Right. Yeah. It helps kind of deflate any movement and any populism. I think just what's really disheartening is like, we had two good progressives running. Yeah. And there's definitely people who still want that kind of change. Yes. And I think it sucks, especially if you're a Warren supporter, because the campaign that it started, you're invested in, it's over. And there's a lot of energy of like where to put this.

And inevitably it's going to happen with anyone who supports Bernie or anyone who wanted some kind of real change out of this, like out of whoever was going to be the nominee. And I think that's really the hard bit about all of this is I think, I think in general, a lot of progress was like, fuck man. Like it is there, was there a way, could it are like, fuck, man. Was there a way? Could it have happened? What needs to happen more?

But we'll just sit and wait. Yeah. There's a quote somebody tweeted that was just like a screen cap from a book, but it was a quote from Eugene Debs, who was basically running- From prison, right? From prison on a progressive platform 100 years ago, like exactly 100 years ago, 25 elections ago, and said, The power of the press is sadly underestimated in the socialist movement.

The ruling class make no such mistake. They're keenly alive to the power of the press in molding public sentiment and in shaping affairs in accordance with their interests. The capitalist papers do not suffer for the one of support and never die of starvation. They're fed fat and ungrudgingly by the class in power and in return serve that class with all their power. Yeah.

That was a pretty good summary of sort of what I'm. I think he still got 900,000 votes from jail. Yeah. When he was in prison. I mean, again, when we start looking now, right, because it's like, well, fuck. It's not going to be Elizabeth Warren fuck it's not gonna be elizabeth moore it's not gonna be bernie sanders probably it's gonna be biden right right and you look at how like united healthcare stocks like shot up oh yeah after that it just shows you what the how horny the industries are they go oh good yeah it's not one of these people who's trying to get us to to care for more people for less money.

Yeah. It's someone who figured out a way to keep us afloat as a business and then do something that creates a sentiment as if people are getting more health care. Yeah. I don't pay attention to the stock market, but when like I do notice when it goes down a ton or goes up a ton and it went down a ton when Sanders won in Nevada and now it's's gone back up. And people were like, no, it's just coronavirus. But I really do think that, you know, it's the wealthy are not – we're not going to abide a socialist movement like that. Should we listen to a jazz solo? Oh, Joe Biden? Yeah, some Joe Biden jazz.

Some little Biden jazz? Yeah. Yeah, again again for all you know there's a lot of trump jazz when he gets on his gets on that stage and starts just saying words right that mean things i guess in a certain sequence uh joe biden was also you know just letting everybody know um that he's also here uh that he also has good ideas yeah um and he can you know, just letting everybody know that he's also here, that he also has good ideas. Yeah. And he can, you know, sort of get them out coherently.

This is him. This is a snippet of him trying to talk about his health care plan and trying. I know it comes in the middle of it, but I'm still confused as to what exactly he's talking about. And for folks in the working class, they're below 400. They will, in fact, will increase their premiums. The public option will be available on my plan. We'll make sure it's not quality. We'll make sure it's only affordable.

We'll make sure it's not quality. We'll make sure it's only affordable. That sounds like something you would tell donors who work in the healthcare industry. You're like, yeah, yeah, and it's not going to be quality. We'll just make sure we get that affordable thing so people can afford it. And then they'll find out when their needs are met that it's not quality. Yeah.

That's scary. I don't know what – I mean, again, you can take that however you want to. He gets scrambled on the way from his brain to his mouth. He gets scrambled on the way from his brain to his mouth. But I think that's a sign of a preview into what is going to be raising our blood pressure collectively. He is going to get lit up. Whatever is going to happen. I don't know. And you know Donald Trump has been planning for a race against Biden.

Just like sitting gleefully up in his room at night. Well, that's why I think he loves taking shots at Elizabeth Warren too because he's kind of like, oh, look what you did to Bernie, Elizabeth Warren. Because I think he likes to just fuck around, cause as much chaos as possible, only to be like, he's like, but yes, though, it's Biden. Yeah. It's like another.

And now Donald Trump is the youngest candidate running for president. He just lights matches everywhere and walks out of the room. So, again, I mean, I think when you look at someone and the, I don't know, man, the stakes are so fucking high for people right now. And without adequate health care, we're looking at a public health crisis with coronavirus, and we're not able to prepare for that. To have someone who's not screaming from the top of their lungs,

we need everyone to have health care. It's disheartening. And good thing also we got Mike Pence leading the team. So just good to know we're all taken care of. Somewhat related to that, there is an article that was talking about how just general trust in the government and how successful a population is containing an outbreak are directly related. Oh, really? Yeah. outbreak are like directly related um because oh really yeah so like in a 2006 survey that came out after the SARS epidemic these epidemiologists found that Americans were less likely to trust

their government to tell them accurate information about an outbreak than citizens of Hong Kong Singapore Taiwan and that those lower trust scores were correlated with less support for things like wearing masks getting a vaccine or agreeing to have their temperature taken. And generally speaking, the more trust Americans have in the government, the less likely they are to refuse vaccines. HIV positive Americans are more likely to take antiretroviral drugs and to have better health outcomes if they have more trust in the government. So it's like those are directly correlated, and we have an untrustable government right now. Like it's just they're incapable of not fucking things up.

So it's the idea that he's throwing it to Pence with the idea that Pence is going to totally fuck it up is my suspicion, that he's just like, yeah, we'll throw Mike under the bus. Well, that's what they say. And then it'll be Nikki Haley or something. Yeah, and then it'll be Nikki Haley. That's what I suspect.

I don't know why else he would have. Oh, my God. So do you think that Mike Pence knows that's going to happen or no? Probably. He knows that he's just going to take a hard hit? Yeah. I mean, that's- God, he's a bitch.

Anybody who trusts Trump and invites Trump into the house eventually regrets it. Knows that they will be turned on. They don't know at first, and then it eventually happens. And yeah, that was the thing that somebody wrote about him decades ago, that it's just like, we've been paying attention to people he does business with. It's just like we've been paying attention to people he does business with. He always, always, without fail, will fuck you over in the end and throw you under the bus. Yeah, well, that's always the risk when you deal with someone who accountability is a concept completely foreign to them. Someone who is accountable might be like, oh, yeah, that didn't go too well.

You know what? Fuck. Yeah, we kind of fucked that up. Not someone with an ego like that. It's like, nah, man nah man see the problem is everybody fucking else because I did everything right the whole time meanwhile he's on Fox News telling people oh I'm pretty sure my gut tells me this fatality rate is actually a lot lower

my gut tells me this I have no functional scientific literacy nothing that's my gut though wait do you behind closed doors do pence and trump get along do you think i think pence kisses his ass behind closed doors is the sense that i get and just tries to i think yeah get out of the way he keeps his distance as much as possible you can tell especially when it gets hot on shit and he closes his eyes and tries and

he can't and he like he's actually, it's weird, his one weird quality about him is he's so bad at fucking lying that it's just so cringy when he's like, oh, I don't know about Ukraine or there's a bird over there. I'm going to run. It's just like, oh, jeez, you're in the wrong game, man. But anyways, this article, which is on FiveThirtyEight, points out that Americans actually trust the CDC.

And so if, you know, the CDC was out in front handling the situation and making all the statements, that would actually probably be a better way to kind of cover this story and handle the outbreak. But a quote from the article, when mistrusted elected officials start putting themselves at the forefront of otherwise trustworthy public health campaigns, yeah, that effect gets undermined. And I'm still waiting to hear what the plan is here to tackle this. Because right now it sounds like everything's like their plan is to be like, so y'all need to figure it out by washing washing your hands and not doing anything what else what else needs to be happening well the tests is really the thing that like seems to there's a shortage of tests that can you know tell if you have the virus who has the virus and that's a problem as it becomes you know aren't they super expensive too like 300 out of pocket or even more

maybe because some people ended up with like bills for trying to get well because i know like i mean so many people have colds and stuff and they have the exact same symptoms as a cold yeah and the only thing we're being told to do is like wash your hands yeah and not cough in people's fucking mouth and it's like yeah i mean that's what we normally do like really no one feels like they have any mode of operation for protection i've had to cut my letting people cough in my mouth down by 25 it's hard it's hard yeah it is tough to give up but only strangers now yeah friends and family sorry yeah i just don't want it less of a thrill yeah uh all right we're gonna take another quick break we'll be right back 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.

And we're back. So a couple quick things. Mulan is apparently about to blow up. Its release in China is being delayed because of coronavirus, but it's trying to have the biggest North American opening of 2020 with 80 to 90 million. That's coming out in a couple weeks. But they also pointed out that it might not necessarily do well in China

because a lot of movies that are about China but from not China have done poorly. Like The Farewell and Crazy Rich Asians and Abominable all bombed in China. Right. Because it's like, yeah, I don't know. It seems like that would be the case. It's less interesting. It's like, okay. And if somebody makes a movie about America from another country. Hey, Spaghetti Westerns are pretty cool, though. Right. It's like, okay. And if somebody makes a movie about America from another country.

Hey, Spaghetti Westerns were pretty cool, though. Right. That's true, actually. I think it was like the one time. Yeah. But even then, was it that big that people were like, hey, we love these Spaghetti Westerns? Right. It seems like more of a niche thing.

Right. The music was fantastic. I feel like three billboards outside of whatever. Ebbing, Missouri is the closest we've gotten to a movie about America. That's not really from an American sensibility. Right, right, right. It's like written and directed by Martin McDonough. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

God, I got so much heat for liking that movie. Yeah. Everyone was like, fuck you, bitch. I'll fucking kill you. You said something nice about that movie. I was like, yeah, I liked it. What? I liked it for what it was.

I'm not saying this is how the world needs to be. I subscribe to the reality of this film. Yeah. All right. Let's talk. We talked yesterday about a brand mashup that we were pretty excited about. And we got another one today. Look at this.

So we had the IKEA Pizza Hut collab pizza. Right. I never heard about that. Oh, it's only in Hong Kong. But it's Swedish meatballs. They put the IKEA meatballs on the same. It's a couch made of Pizza Hut collab pizza. Right. I never heard about that. Oh, it's only in Hong Kong, but it's Swedish meatballs. They put the Ikea meatballs on the sandwich. On the pizza. Now, Coffee Mate has come out with Cinnamon Toast Crunch Coffee Mate. Whoa.

So you can fully just drink that out the bottle. Yeah, I mean, RIP my blood sugar. I mean, everything. I.P. my blood sugar. I mean, everything. I like coffee, you know, but if I'm able to spice it up with some flavor, I'm not opposed to that. And then to add on top of it one of my favorite cereals, I might just drink the shit straight out the bottle.

Whoa, you're like a multi-pump pumpkin-like person where you just light it up with sugar. Well, it's funny. Whenever I go, if I ever went to like a coffee shop or something I would just get probably cold brew

like black or whatever but sometimes if I'm having a cup of coffee and we have so much coffee made in the office I'm always like

now it's sugar drink black is so it's like fucking paint thinner yeah it'll burn all over your stomach yeah it's so extreme except for when I drink

regular coffee I have no problem drinking it black but when I drink a cold, I have no problem drinking it black. But when I drink a cold brew, I'm like, this is too much for me. I must have like asbestos in my stomach or something. Right, where you need it. It's not connecting at all. You cut the asbestos with cold brew.

What about the Khloe Kardashian Febreze collab? What is that? I don't know about that. I saw it and I was like, wow, what a move. What a gorgeous collaboration. I mean, it was meant to be, wasn't it? I'm so confused. I was like, oh, Chloe, yeah, you're not washing.

You're not having any of your stuff washed. You're just doing some light Febreze in your dorm room. Were you a big Febreze washer? Or did you actually wash things? I feel like you. I wash. Yeah, you seem pretty into your cleanliness. Yeah. You wouldn't just get away with a Febreze dusting. No. I mean, the way

she does make these Febreze bottles look are quite glamorous. Right. Yeah. You can cover the farts with these products. Yeah, there's gel filters on those photos. Oh, hell yeah, of course. Yeah, I'd say Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the hardest cereal for me to stop eating.

I've talked before about the cereal Ouroboros where I'll pour in milk, and then once I get to the bottom and there's no cereal, I'll pour in more cereal, which will cause me to need to pour in more milk. Especially Cinnamon Toast Crunch because the more times you do that, the thicker it gets with the cinnamon sugar until it looks like

sand. Oh, Jesus. Jack, do you go regular milk in your cereal? Like whole? Half and half. No, just like cow. Yeah, yeah. Woo! I know. One of the last still standing. Old school, man. Yeah, absolutely.

Like my daddy used to eat it. You don't see that very often these days. What do you, you like cereal? I like it, I don't eat it. Oh, wow. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah.

Okay, if you did eat it. I like hot things for breakfast. Like my biggest goal in life, what I'm really trying to get done is like a smoothie in the morning because I think it's the healthiest. And then you start your day from that place with all your greens and fats and everything. But I just want something hot in the morning. I don't want a smoothie. Get that bacon bag. Yeah, I got to get my bag of bacon.

Your bacon bag. That's right. Bacon bag, smoothie right Bacon bag Smoothie I like how it's in a paper bag though too So you probably gotta feel bad about it As you're eating Because it's just all like Starting to get translucent

Yeah well a lot of people Were like that's not real And then I started responding With pictures of it on Twitter Of your bacon bag Yeah Is it like one of those brown bags That alcoholics drink out of

On the street Yeah it's a smaller Or just people who wanna You know you know, obscure their tall can. Right, right. They want to lump us all in one group. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. Maybe I don't want people to know I'm drinking a truly tall boy. And I don't want to think I'm drinking a steel reserve.

Right, exactly. Because it makes me look tougher. That's true. Oh, my God. That's so true. All right, let's talk about Girl Scout cookies real quick. Chrissy Teigen came out with a super spicy take. Has a lot.

So she, I think someone was doing some kind of challenge or something about Girl Scout cookies. And she took a piece of paper, wrote a green smiley face, a neutral yellow face, and a frowny red face. Sort of like when you go to an airport or anything, it's like, how was our service? Hit one of the buttons. Was it green, yellow, or red? And for this one, she ranked these girl scout cookies she bought she put all the cookies in the red column basically in the thumbs down column whoa people were like what the fuck and then she said okay we'll hold up like i think her take is i don't think they're all the cookies

themselves are not that great and then as people people were like, you got to rank them. You're hurting the Girl Scouts? She then said, okay, fine. I think their language is like, here's my ranking if Girl Scout cookies were the only cookies on earth. And then frozen Thin Mints and Samoas were the top. Of course. Then regular Thin Mints, the Trefoils or Trefoils. Trefoils. Trefoils.

Trefoils, Trafalgar Square. Batter of Trafalgar's. We're in the middle, followed by S'mores and Tagalongs in the last row. All right. So I'm going to tell you where I differ. Okay. S'mores, or sorry, Samoas go all the way to the left, I think. Number one, the number one ranking.

The number one cookie, and I think the one cookie that is not comparable to anything else on the market. I think it's just a better coconut caramel chocolatey mixture than you can really get anywhere else. It's my mother's favorite cookie. My mother as well. Damn. Are we doing this because we love our moms? Yeah. That's why we love them.

Yeah, but you know the samosas are good too. They're so good. of our moms yeah that's why we love like yeah but you know s'mores they're so good uh s'mores i think are the s'mores i think are actually good uh because i and it's a new flavor yeah it's a new flavor and it's also just like both the cookie and the filling are like basically on the verge of crystallizing with sugar they're like the most sweet thing possible. Yeah, before it turns into just sugar. Yeah, just turns into dust in your hand. I'd put that like a little bit below the s'mores. I'd put frozen Thin Mints and s'mores at the same place,

and then everything else I'm good with. I don't think tagalongs are very good. That's the one with peanut butter, isn't it? Yeah. I like those. But the thing is, I agree with her first take which is if i'm gonna be real i can't objectively say that these cookies are the best cookies i buy them out of nostalgia i buy them just to be like to hook the girl scouts up with some money right but like i don't i'm never like damn when the cookies coming back

because i don't eat them i even when i buy them i look in my freezer it's all frozen thin mints that i haven't fucking eaten but i'm just amazed she said that because my first thing would be especially if i were her who just gets shit for everything she says i would be like okay well yeah i may think this but this is gonna hurt the girl scouts and i'm gonna receive a tidal wave of shit. She's our last true truth teller. I don't think, yeah, you're right. She's just George Carlin. But I, those cookies, fine, yeah. Those two are good.

The rest are nothing to write home about. Which two? But this is Samoas and Thin Mints. Okay. But like the thought, I would never, if I were her, I'd never write that. That's like me going online and saying this comedian is bad. Like what is that going to do for me?

Right. You know what I mean? Just me get shit. Yeah. It is a very provocative take. Yeah, because there's a lot wrapped up in it. Whenever there's children involved. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. Because she's always said, I'm happy. These Girl Scouts made these? She said, I'm happy to support always. I'm just not doing it for the cookies. Yeah. I do it to support them.

Right. Oh, okay. And I do the same thing. I'm not doing it for the cookies. My acting teacher's daughter had her come in in the middle of class and sell them to us. And, of course, I bought three boxes because I gotta do it. And I was like, listen, teach, you're trying to make this
