got an inner earpiece the foot?
Okay.
Come on.
He does this a lot when he hits a high note on this show.
Also, like I'm wearing hats all the time.
And also, whenever my ears stick out, so whenever I wear.
Your ears don't stick out.
Whoever told you that was lying.
My mom was, the kids at school did.
Yeah.
My mom said, she says, so does Will Smith's ears.
And he's beautiful.
Well, Will Smith's ears do stick out.
That's fucked up.
So do mine, bro.
Why not you had to do this?
Not that I'm like, oh my God.
My ears.
It's more just like.
Has this been your whole personality for so long.
because that why you're finding us the matter of the shit, they don't stick out?
You're like, no, they do real hard.
They do.
They do.
Yeah.
Look at my fucked up shit.
Kind of my thing.
Fucking flapping around.
My whole thing.
I'm about to take off on a windy day.
They could rip off.
No, it's just more like, because whenever I have the things, the pressure for more than two hours,
they just start my low, my ear meat gets sore, sore.
Ear meat, okay.
Well, you do record a lot of podcasts.
Ear meat.
Ear meat.
My son got in his head that we needed to watch Independence Day on Independence Day.
So we watched...
Got some fucking weird idea.
So we watched it.
We should watch a Christmas movie on Christmas Day.
He'd never seen Will Smith before.
He was like...
He's never seen Will Smith before.
I don't think so.
I don't think he'd seen a flashcards for these babies.
We've got to introduce them to the...
That movie they talk about his ears sticking out.
They do.
They do.
And I remember one of the first movies,
is my mom took me to the screening of
Made in America.
Oh, yeah.
About the sperm donor,
that Ted Danson movie.
That's a little...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where I think Ted Denson was Neil Long's
like sperm donor dad or some shit.
And I remember just feeling like,
it was like one of those movies
that wasn't a comedy.
So like when I came back to school,
I'm seeing like real fucking movies, bro.
Like, I just saw coming to a made in America
with Ted Denson, bro.
You're so deep.
It's an Oscar front runner.
Miss me with this like full house.
talk right now, dog.
You know, Nia Long, you wouldn't.
Because she's actually, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's,
I forgot who I was talking to.
I thought I was talking to my, uh, film critic mom.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Who, who is also, I can't talk movies with my own mom.
Because we, we love to argue.
So if we have a different take on a movie, like, we'll go to the fucking mattresses over the
dumbest shit.
I kind of love that for you both, though.
Yeah.
I love a spirited argument about something that, like,
Keeps people alive.
They're like arguing keeps people alive.
Yeah.
Not and it's not even like a toxic way.
We just like we both have shit to say.
I was hoping it was toxic.
I hope it led to like family wounds.
It's fucked up.
It's really bad.
I get started with that and then it ends on your ears.

It's Thursday, July 9th, 2026.
July 9th is National Sugar Cookie Day.
Okay.
It's International Emergency Kit Day.
Something I've been thinking about is everybody in L.A.
You know the big one's coming.
The big one, the big one.
Is that trending again?
Yeah.
Is it a big one going viral?
I used to have an emergency kit, but the fire took it away.
So that's my excuse for not having anything.
Oh, shit.
But now I'm like, I've always been thinking, I'm like, shit, I need to get like, I need
fucking water.
The big, uh,
shit to have on.
What about you?

Uh, no.
Okay.

I'm here.
I'm here with like thoughts, prayers for myself.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, if it really starts to shaking and rocking, you know, like, I don't even know
they keep updating like what you're supposed to do in Earthquick before it was like standard
of the third.
a shoulder of a door.
They're never like,
don't do that.
Yeah, yeah.
You're like,
get the fuck away from a goal away.
No, don't do the what?
Yeah.
They're like,
that was a Buster Kee movie you were watching.
The whole shit just stand in the window spot under a wall that might take them.
Elegantly fall around you.
All of guys,
I know Dolly Parton is at least in one way ready.
She always talks about how she sleeps in her makeup so that if there's an emergency,
she's going to wake up like beat.
And I was like,
I got to start doing that.
That's going to be my emergency preparedness.
Those poor pores of hers.
She's always got the guiche on.
That's good.
The geishon frisier.
And she has, I think she says 365 wigs, one wig for each day of the year.
And I like to imagine that she sits up in her bed and the wig is like placed so that it goes directly onto her.
Oh, like a preset.
Roop Goldberg machine type thing.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, where it immediately goes on.
Type shit.
Type shit.
She was a really fun icon episode also.
Anyways, my name's Jack O'Brien, A.K., as he came into the Congress, was the sound of falling on ass.
Now he's silent in the press room, mini-stroke out at the pojeum, Mitchie.
Mitchie, are you brain dead?
What they tell us, is he brain dead?
That one, courtesy of less than zero on the discord was the sound of falling on ass.
Sound of falling on ass.
We don't know.
We don't know.
brain down. We still don't know that. We still don't know. Yeah. We just need a proof of like,
hey, just give me a five set. Just give me a cameo with the newspaper. People have been
doing, on Twitter, it's become just a meme format now where people are like, yeah, just got
off the phone with Mitch McConnell. Everyone is doing some form of, I just got off the phone.
What's that, Mitch? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. No, I'll tell you. Today. Yep. Thomas, Thomas Massey,
the fucking congressman from Kentucky was even in it. He's like, oh, I just spoke to him. He was talking
about my re-election bid, all kinds of stuff.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, I got to call him back because I was already on with Teddy Roosevelt.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, now I got Mitch on the line.
Hold on one second, Mitch.
Thrill to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
Hey, it's Miles Gray, the Lord of Lancashim, the Shogun with Nogun, North Hollywood's finest.
Thank you for having me.
You're welcome.
Yeah, I always like to be.
That's always about gratitude.
Always great to have you.

And in our third seat, one of the very faces on Mount Zythmore, a comedian, actress, author, award-winning podcaster, you know from, let's go all the way, a Florida girl, the Black Lady Sketch Show, I Carly, Lopez, going Dutch on Fox.

It's Lacey Mosley.
Lacey!
Hey, my guys.
I haven't been here in so long.
I know.
And we can put the rumors to rest.
You know, people are always like, Lacey doesn't fuck with them anymore.
No, I love you guys.
I know that.
I know.
Yeah, I've just been like out of the country living in Ireland.
Like I saw my Celtic next.
on. That's what we shoot going down.
I'm trying to get some citizenship.
So I need to do one more,
spin the block one more time. I think I'd give me like a little
Liam or a little shamrock because that Irish passport
is lit. Yeah. Yeah. So I do want parts. But no, I miss you
Mount Zipe where I miss everybody here. That Irish passport
internationally known, locally respected.
Yeah. You go anywhere and they're like, yeah, you go
like cool. Yeah. It's the one to have. So I really want it.
But no, thank you guys for having me back. I've missed it so much.
Can't wait to go through the cabinets after we finished recording.
Yeah, yeah. Same episode.
what I've missed.
From before the pandemic lockdown, it's all still up there.
We definitely still have vitamins from before the pandemic in one of those boxes.
Just one of the drawers around here.
There's all kinds of stuff.
There's a time capsule.
You guys are such dads.
You have vitamins at your podcast studio.
Why do we have vitamins?
I think Sophie Lickerman was very adamant that we take them.
And then somebody else, a celebrity who was pitching a podcast came in and told us our
vitamins were all fucked up. Oh, that's right.
It was like, this shit sucks.
Are we really? You guys should be.
Are we keeping that under wrap?
I'll say, I'll say they were a bit clueless.
Oh.
About what real health could be.
That's right.
That's so under wraps.
They were sharing a bit too much.
Uh-huh.
Just the right amount, I would say.
I would say, from eating a bunch of off-brand vitamins.
They really, Alicia Silverstoneed it up.
That's right.
Crazy.
Who could I be talking about?
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
I was crying when I met you.
By the time.
Or I left you.
What is it?
Anyways.
Yeah, we get it.
Candice Owens is coming.
Yeah, yeah.
Candiceones.
Shout out Candice, the God.
And we said no to that podcast.
And look at us now.
Lacey, we're thrilled to have you here.
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 stories we're talking about
today. We're going to talk
about Army Hammer and how his comeback
is going. I'm especially excited
to... Who are you snacking on now?
All of us. Yeah, yeah.
We're going to talk about the... Nido.
Have you heard about these?
You heard about these?
I was with one of my nieces
and the way, they're like,
hey, can you take me to CVS really quick? I was like, oh, no.
Like, you know, like, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you a teenager? Like, what do you need a bandage?
What's going on?
It's like, I need to see if they have needle cubes there.
And I was like, fuck.
I heard there was a needo drop.
They need to make a run.
They were like, yeah, I need you to drop me off.
It's because these, they fucking love these needle cubes.
And like when they got them, they're like, they're texting their friends.
Like, hey, they've got three here.
You want to get you one.
I'll get you one.
My nephew was telling it.
He was like, you need to like know when they're doing a drop and then just like pounce.
Yeah.
When you're there.
Yeah.
Anyways, we're going to talk about those because they're exploding and burning people.
And they're made by a company that once painted a top.
with lead paint and then didn't do a recall on it.
Like a spinning top?
You don't need to paint that shit with lead paint.
I mean, I guess for the bottom line, maybe you do.
We'll talk about airlines scamming us, maybe,
by putting us in window seats that don't have windows,
all of that plenty more.
But first, Lacey, we do like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are?
Something from my search history
that is revealing about who I am.
And I'm like generally going to do this.
I'm going to be honest.
You're just going to go in there?
Yeah, I'm going in here.
Okay.
And so we're going to go with.
She's actually looking at her search.
I am.
I am.
I'm actually going to do this.
So I'm going to go with.
Just do it.
It's so dumb.
It's so dumb.
So that doesn't fit for this show at all.
Purposes.
I just wanted to check how to spell the word purposes.
Purposes.
Which is like a very,
no,
it was like proposes,
but it was so close to purposes.
Yeah,
yeah.
And like,
it's such a dumb thing
to have to look up.
But I really think that we have to start
like reaffirming like media literacy.
Like if you like,
if a word is like close to another word
and you want to make sure you're spelling the correct word,
just look it up.
It takes two seconds.
I'm so tired of everyone being so freaking stupid.
I just feel like,
I just feel like I have to converse with idiots every day now
because of the internet and it's really not.
fair because we used to have...
Thanks for coming on the show, Lacey.
Like right now.
Sorry.
Like right now.
Listeners couldn't see this, but she gestured broadly at Miles and I.
I was like, dobbies that I got a deal with.
I see, rah, rah.
I mean, have you seen?
I noticed this too, like, there's a lot of like pseudo intellectual semi-literate people.
And I see a lot on Love Island.
Yeah.
There's one guy who says, like, he's, like, he's,
Yeah, yeah, who said epitome?
Yeah, epitome.
Yeah.
Epitome.
And I'm like, damn, that's, and to me that's crazy.
I'm like, you've read the word or something.
You know what it means.
But you aren't around anyone.
You've never heard.
Phenetically, you've never heard that word before.
That's crazy.
That just tells me he's well read.
All right?
Yeah, yeah.
That just means that he's reading deeply.
He is a quasi, he's a pseudo intellectual.
Or it could be like a toddler who hears their parents be like, you know how kids will be like.
Like how Jane and Smith.
And then like the kid will be like
Bat sit, bat sit!
And they were trying to say like bat shit like their granny did.
It's giving, it's giving he heard somebody say the word.
And that keeps happening on that show that drives me nuts.
Like there was one word he kept using like he was saying that he wanted to have like an immersive experience.
He wanted to emerge.
So he wanted to emerge himself.
Emerging.
And he kept saying emerge over and over to the point where close captions had to put like quotes on
emerge yourself because the word is immerses.
You know what?
It's like immerse.
Did you get the intent of what he was saying, though?
Yes, but I don't care about that.
No, where's me things?
I will fly over this table.
Words me, things.
Oh my God.
Speak properly.
It has been a deadening process in my brain
where like I used to see like people doing that shit in like comment sections.
And like since then it's like moved up into like articles from the AP.
Yeah.
You're just like, yeah, I get, like, I've killed that part of myself that cares about that.
Yeah, that person definitely should of done that.
The AP.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, God, should of?
Should of?
It drives me nuts.
But also, it's not to be pretentious.
I just hate that we're losing diction and the meaning of language.
Sure, sure.
Because then if the words don't mean anything, then, like, the words have a lot of power in our lives.
You know what I mean?
It's the reason why we don't let us call people, you know, pejorie.
Oratives or derogatory words or slurs.
Because sometimes those are the last things that people heard before they were murdered.
Like words have meaning.
Right, right, right.
Like, even them taking words from us like woke and DEI, which actually are positive things about how society has been created to oppress certain people.
Like, once you take that word and you make it a majority, then you've taken its power and the meaning from it.
You've turned into something else.
And so it drives me nuts that we're so lackadaisical about what words mean and when to use certain words.
Exactly.
And if we're going to be that way, then please get the stupid people away from me.
When I was in school, they had different classes.
They had different links of buses.
We weren't all together.
I didn't have to know you.
This was segregation was good.
Right.
I meant something.
All right.
I'm going to put you on the spot.
Spell proposes right now.
P-U-R-B-O-S-E-S.
That's that best about that.
That was purposes.
So you're dumb.
So you're dumb.
See, I was looking at.
I literally was looking at purposes.
Okay.
I'm not doing this with you by the mind.
When do you want on Love Island?
I would literally fight you.
They're like, she keeps saying proposals when she means purposes.
For all intensive proposals.
It's a PR.
For all intensive proposals.
Intensive proposals.
You know what?
Now it's like a real dick as well as to put me on the spot like that.
I hope that people turn against you for that one.
That is the battle that I've given up this for all intense and purposes and for all intensive purposes.
Yeah.
It's I think the intensive people have won.
And I'm just like, yeah.
All right.
Wow.
That's how it starts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, some of them, I can't give up.
bottom of, but I'm not, but I'm not going to like wag my finger, but it is something that does
make me like, oh, yeah, intensive purposes is what?
For all intensive purposes.
What's the other one that's always, it's not meanwhile, but, um, I mean, there's irregardless,
which I'm pretty sure Miriam Webster has just made a word because they were like, God,
it is crazy.
Yeah.
Like, when you win, you win.
You win.
Fuck it, you win.
It's irregardless.
Irregardless adjective.
I'm not against.
fucking bothered anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not against that at all.
No, no, not at all.
Yeah.
But it is true.
Like, it's funny though, too.
Now, how I'll even like, in a comment section, I'll see someone use than properly.
And I go, all right.
Hey.
Hey, Jimmy.
Like that I'm like, I'm like, check out the big brain on bread.
Better than?
Was that a A?
I just like, hello.
Hello, the bars.
Hello, friend.
Okay.
You're the contraction.
Okay.
So ownership?
Yeah.
And I think he's just.
like one of those leftover things because I'm sure this is I feel like especially for like black people too
having your diction your education your vocabulary up was a huge thing of like upward mobility
yeah and so it's kind of drilled into like like they're gonna fucking try and say you're stupid
right because you don't know how to spell or speak properly so like this was drilled in from
my grandmother on down was like such a like full on grammar Nazi right and like I can see that too like
As I get older, I'm like feeling that too, but it's coming from a slightly different place because I think for me it was it was drilled into it.
Like, this is so important to your like existence or survival that you see people being like flippant with it.
You're like, this is not to be played with.
Right.
But also just like, don't you realize like you're probably not going to reach as many people?
Because if I started reading something and like I'm not talking about just like spell check.
I'm not going to be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where's the comma?
Clearly like I started spelling purpose like immediately.
But it does like kind of give me hints immediately.
immediately on if you're smart enough to even like consider an opinion from like I'll scan like two sentences of like a threads post or something I'm like oh you're dumb or I'm like oh your frontal lobe isn't developed or oh you're 10 who let you on here yeah and that could all be the same person and frontal lobe not developed and dumb that's right what is something Lacey you think is underrated underrated I wrote this down and I don't want to forget what it is I hope it saw me harping on something like this again so underrated I'm going to go it is
Fools.
Wordle.
Wordle is underrated?
I don't think people are playing it as much as they used to.
I would have seen your green squares.
Oh, you're bringing it back.
It's only five-letter words.
It's not like we're talking about the most advanced vocabulary,
but it does remind you of words that you haven't used in a while.
So you've been playing wordle consistently all the time?
Yeah, I didn't quit during the pandemic.
I remember when you were playing it a lot.
Yeah.
And I feel like Anna was playing it too.
And you guys would talk about it and I was like, I don't have that game.
I don't know.
I'm playing Pertil, the basketball version.
Do you still play that?
No, no.
I looked at it once and I was like, I can't.
But that is wild.
I'm credit to you for sticking by a mobile game for that long.
I mean, it's not even, you don't have to download it.
It's just on the New York Times.
You just go Wordle on the browser.
See, that shows you how much I know about it.
There it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just have been trying to do any kind of brain puzzles and
teasers because I feel like I'm like going to get like Alzheimer's.
You know what they said about Alzheimer's or I think it's Alzheimer's or just general cognitive
decline.
If you continue to learn languages, that's a new language.
Yeah, it's really good for your neuroelasticity.
Oh my gosh.
Why would you say that?
Because I know my phone heard that and that means I do a lingo out is about to start cussing
out again.
Yeah.
It's like looking at you.
It's like, oh, so you just want to lose your mind.
Right.
So funny.
Wow.
So much.
Yeah.
You use them all day long.
Have you seen me in the icon?
I look like shit.
I'm dying because you haven't opened me in a week or whatever.
Does it still do that?
Like when you don't open duolingo,
like the display icon gets sadder?
No.
I haven't noticed that it did that.
Isn't that a thing?
That's a thing,
right?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
It's like,
when I might go there,
it's like the eyes popped out or something to the little owl.
It's like losing feathers.
Damn.
Oh my,
I go in,
it's just like fried chicken.
It's like not even an owl anymore.
It could just be loose skin.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
I'm going to do my duolingo owl,
right?
I'm going to go back to it.
Does you speak a little Spanish?
I do.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just keep using your.
Yeah.
So that's why I got to go back to it.
You're right.
Okay.
I'm going to do that.
Then you can forget about Werdle.
Putt off the pedicline.
What?
Wordle's not like the fanciest.
It's not like I'm playing Scrabble.
No, no, no.
But I get it.
I do play Scrabble Go as well against the computer.
I was playing Scrabble a lot.
Yeah.
My grammar Nazi grandmother.
Grammar Nazi grandma.
Shout out Carmen.
Shout out.
I talk, the grammar Nazi Graham, Graham, Graham, whatever.
She, I talk about this all the time.
She'd beat my ass and scrabble.
Yeah.
Like, and I had those trials by fire that like put a fucking just that, that humiliation was like,
I have to learn so many fucking words if I'm going to compete with this older adult.
Anyway.
I love this fear.
I love this beef that you've been having with Graham Graham.
She fucking, she would laugh at him.
And I would be like, I was barely literate.
That's really hard for me to be laughing.
She's like triple word score.
Triple word score on ears.
Yeah, yeah.
Miles.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
And you couldn't capitalize on a big ear.
Huh.
Well, anyway.
Go get my sandwich now.
I love this.
I love Garbo Garvin.
Lacey, what is something you think is overrated?
I think it's overrated to hate on Love Island.
Okay.
Like, it's a fun anthropological study.
It's giving a Stanford prison experiment.
It's giving us like, you know, what if we got just like the hottest, youngest little babies?
We put them on an island.
We sleep deprive them.
They suck each other's feet.
Right.
We only give them gas-inducing food.
So like avocados eggs.
I just started watching from being a hater.
Or not a hater, being ambivalent.
You just converted.
He was on Hague Island.
And I love island.
No, but I mean, I remember just being like, there's too many episodes.
But my friends who I was saying with it, like, just start watching.
Like, you know enough trash TV that you're going to get it.
Yeah.
And by the end of it, I'm like, fuck is up with Corbyn, bro.
He's kind of boring as fuck, man.
And every now and then, he like, it feels like he gets a new download, like an update.
You know?
Yeah.
And he's like, oh, he got the everything update.
He's a lot of thing.
He's learning kung fu.
Yeah.
He's learning kung fu.
Yes.
But I feel like when people try to be too, like, highfalutin about it, I'm like, there is something really interesting about seeing how these people behave, like, seeing how you.
you act under a microscope.
And I try to be very forgiving because they treat them like they're like my little Sims.
Like, yeah, they're human beings.
They're real people, which is why I say like my little Sims, because they're in this
environment where they're being overly produced.
They're being kind of hinted and pushed and nudge to do things.
And they're editing in a certain way to make them a character of themselves.
So we haven't met or seen any of these people truly.
I'll be real.
I say it when I was watching 90 day a lot, people are like, why do you watch that show?
And I'm like, it's really interesting.
like in terms of like human behavior.
In my brain, I'm going,
what the fuck are they doing?
What the fuck?
This person is dumb as fuck.
Yeah.
Clips that you're coming in and sharing with us are not the ones where it's interesting
from a sociological perspective.
It's a guy being like, I have gonorrhea.
And I'm like, dude, he got gonorrhea.
And he said it in a accent.
He keeps saying it.
But the thing is, it's like we have to say that as people with,
if you have any kind of platform,
I don't want to hate to reach you when you leave the event.
But yeah, it's like with high closed doors and we talk.
Then I'm like, are you serious?
But not to say that.
I'm like, how did I get through nursing school?
I never want to see this person in the ER.
Reality TV has been very bad for the reputation of nursing school.
Because there are a lot of nurses that are acting.
On different shows and not even just this season of Love Island or like The Bachelor
or all these places where I keep seeing people say that they graduated from nursing school.
And I'm like, I know you still got to take the Inplex and everything, but I'm like,
how did y'all get through these people's nurses?
It's cool because...
I'm like, let me see you read this EKG real quick.
Like, what you're talking about gratitude?
But you're a cardiothoracic nurse?
Bro.
I was like, why y'all got my calf circled?
I thought I was going in front of my past.
They're like, why are you writing?
Who is Lucy Monroe?
Why'd you write this on my arm?
Oh, is that not you?
That's not your name?
Oh, okay, wipe that off.
Wipe that off.
We got the wrong patient.
Like, you can't do like shorthand text.
my arm.
And you spit to rub it off?
Yeah.
All right.
I got that.
Talking about ill, oh,
no, it's because we was laughing earlier when we was talking about we were going to
do the trachea-be.
Yeah, we're about to change your whole voice box out.
What is the differentiating?
Because, like, I'm kind of all reality TV is like a blur to me because I don't, I don't
spend time.
Wow.
So you better than I?
My mind with that.
So you better to know?
What is Love Island?
Like what's different about Love Island from other reality shows?
Well, it's the frequency.
Yeah.
A.
Okay.
Damn near.
Is it every day?
How many days a week?
So it's every day except for they get one day off.
Okay.
And it's also like they air.
Well, I think they get one or two days off because there's like one day where it does not
air for us.
And there's one day where it's not airing, but they have an after sun show.
Which shows you clips and people who just got kicked off the island.
So it's almost in real time.
Like it's only a.
couple days delayed. Yeah, but the thing that gets people, right, is that the whole point is that
you have to pair off to survive. Like, you need a person to pick you to be their partner because
it's like musical chairs. There's always be like an odd person out and if that's you, then you're
gone. So it becomes this thing of like love bombing, pretending you like someone tactically to
stay on the show. Pretending you like multiple people. That's not who I like, but that's the person
is most likely to choose me. So I'm going to go with them and be a sociopath and make them
till I can find somebody else to.
Which is a metaphor for life.
Right. But there's a certain way that you can do it where it looks like,
okay, this person is playing the game. Maybe these people don't really like each other,
but they're going to stay coupled up because they want to win.
And then sometimes you have people come into the social experiment and they're like,
like after this, we should just take them to prison.
I want you to leave the building.
We're doing like, we actually do not need you in society.
Like I'm talking habitual, pathological liars who live.
literally will lie to everyone.
People they don't even have to lie to.
There's one guy on this season, sincere.
He literally lies to everyone, including America.
Like, I feel some type of way.
Like, he lies to the women.
He lies to the men.
And then he goes into the booth and he looks directly in the camera and lies to me.
And I'm like, why are you lie to me?
Right.
That's all he knows.
It's all he knows.
You got to stay sharp.
Yeah.
So it's different because you get so much more of it.
And so you kind of get to spend a little part of your summer watching your little
Sims.
It also feels like it feels like high school.
drama where like you're like, oh, he's with him.
And then I just saw him with this other girl.
Right.
And she doesn't know about it.
Wait until she finds out and you're like, ooh, it's.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's one of the few reality shows where if you're lucky on your season or if we're
lucky on your season, we'll get to watch movie night where they start replaying all
the stuff you've been doing that nobody else has seen.
And so now everyone's sitting next to each other.
And receipt date.
And you got to watch like basically CVS receipts of your lies come out.
And you're sitting there next to all the people you lie to like.
That's crazy
The editing is wild
Yeah
I'm getting a bad at it
I'm getting the bad at it
They're wilding huh
Is FIFA in charge of this shit
Yeah
Fucking corrupt
All right
I'm in
I think
Are you gonna watch
Are you gonna try it
Yeah
Does your wife
Does she deal in such frivolous activities
She hasn't been in a while
Maybe I could bring her back in
Yeah
Yeah
She's gonna think something's wrong with you
If you're like babe
What if you watch love?
She's like, what the fuck is wrong with?
We need to see a counselor?
Did you just say that?
Yeah.
But then I'm going to pitch it.
You guys taught me how to pitch it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The anthropological study.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
And they come in unpaired.
They come in unpaired and immediately have to pair.
Oh, and they make them kiss a lot.
That might gross you out.
There's a lot of kissing.
No, no, you don't understand.
It's a kind of kissing.
It's like too much kissing.
It's like, now, kid.
Yeah.
Yeah, it ain't Tyson
And the microphones are so close to
Oh no
Yeah, so there's a lot of
Those like NBA mics
The way they kiss
I was watching
And I was like looking at her magic
I'm like, bro, who kisses like that?
Right
Yeah
And it's so much tongue
Yeah
And it's like tongue forward
In a way of like
How we just
A very tongue forward
Can we start with some lip?
Yeah
I feel like you're supposed to start with a lip
Is that a generational thing?
Like we're used to smooching first
And then like
These were the COVID kids
Yeah yeah exactly
So they, you know, they weren't getting much smooch practice in person.
They, you know.
And they just don't know what to do.
So much.
So much.
There's a lot of foot looking this season.
So much.
Yeah.
There's so many challenges like, multiple make out as hot as you can.
And they're like foot 69ing suddenly.
And I'm like, what the fuck is this?
We didn't ask for that.
I'm not heard of yuck anybody's yum.
But we have told them to lay off.
We were like, get the foot out of that man's mouth.
He don't need that.
Like, he's done enough.
Or like sometimes are women licking dudes feet?
No.
I'm like, do you like that?
Are you doing it for the fucking...
I'm licking a man's most things are, you know, you need to be like,
get in the shower first.
The foot, absolutely not.
No, but yeah, but they kiss like they're about to take the first bite of like a giant hamburger.
You're just fucking hungry.
Yeah, I'm not going to make the sounds because I know people have misophonia,
but sometimes it's a lot of snurps.
Yeah, it sounds like surgical stuff.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to talk about somebody who also approaches partners like a hamburger.
After we come back, we'll talk about our.
Arby Hammers come back. We'll be right back.

And this is our new podcast, Wellness Actually.
Because you're getting a staggering amount of health and wellness information nowadays,
and some of it is awesome.
And some of it is, well, actually, bullshit.
Fortunately, we're both people who know how to read studies,
parse data, and can tell you what's worth trying out and what you can safely ignore.
Each episode, we tackle the health news of the week and then take a deeper dive into a misunderstood health and wellness topic like...
What's the deal with peptides?
What's the deal with GLP once?
What's the deal with creatine?
What's the deal with cupping?
What's the deal with sleep?
So join us for a weekly dose of sanity.
It might actually be just what the doctor...

The World Cup is underway and has been incredible.
On our podcast, the Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green,
we're talking about the games that have delighted us,
the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving and what surprised us,
all to the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game.
Daniel, this tournament has been magical so far.
The expanded field of teams has created some incredible matchups
that have already made this World Cup one to remember.
And now things get even more exciting with the intensity of the knockout rounds
as the field is whittled down to one World Cup champion on July 9.
When you say it like that, I get a pain in my heart that the tournament is over.
But there's a lot of soccer yet to go.
And if the first few games of the round of 32 are any indication, anything is possible in the lead-up to the final.
We've got it covered from an ultra's perspective here on the away end.
So listen to the away end with Daniel Alricorn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A decade ago, the ethanol kingpin of Iowa became the king of corn in Brazil.
So we met with a lot of larger farmers, went from Bahia to Tokitans to Montagroso.
And he brought a team of executives.
They were going to help the country get in on a gold rush.
Carbon and its derivatives are going to be really the next great commodity that the globe's going to trade.
But back home in Iowa, trouble was brewing.
If you live in Iowa, your land, your water, and your voice could all be at risk thanks to a man named Bruce Rastetter.
Now, people are questioning if his climate solutions have anything to do.
do with climate at all.
You gotta give Bruce and the guy's credit.
They're Republicans. They don't get a bit of money.
It's now.
On this season of drilled, Carbon Cowboys,
the story of how the ethanol kingpin of Iowa
became the king of corn in Brazil
and what it tells us about the limits
of technology and markets to solve the climate crisis.
Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
We're back.
And it's time for a little,
a little segment of career advice
for our guy, Army Hammer.
Take it from us.
Take it from us.
Two A-list actors.
I had to come back from cannibal accusation.
As one does.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, we've all had a cannibal scandal.
Who has it?
A scandible.
Okay, we all had to eat our words.
There you go.
That's even better.
Go ahead.
So Army,
so last week you guys talked.
talked about Army Hammer's got a new movie.
Yeah, called Citizen Vigilante.
Doesn't sound good.
Yeah, well, this is like the movie he was hoping would propel him out of
Cancelvania once and for all.
So he made a movie called Narc Snitch?
But his first mistake was making it with the German director, Ova Bull.
He's famous for making wannabe genre films that fucking suck.
And he's also famous for hating the negative criticism.
about his movies. I just want to read this one description from a time he responded to a Wired
article about his movie called Postal, where a guy just fucking shoots up a town because he's
Don Postal. So when Wired Bow was a negative review of Postal, Bull responded with an email
claiming that the critic, quote, didn't understand anything about movies and that you are an
untalented wannabe filmmaker with no balls and no understanding what Postal is. You don't
see courage because you are nothing.
And now go to your mom and
fuck her because she cooks for you now
since 30 years, so she deserves it.
It really ends
on a high note. Yeah.
It's like, you're like, okay,
you don't understand it. Now go
fuck your mother.
But it's great. I love the German sort of change.
Like, now go to your mom and fuck her.
Because she cooks
for you now since 30 years.
So she deserves it. So she deserves it.
Uh-huh.
I don't know.
Whatever that means.
Sorry, sorry, you lost me back there.
Sorry, my mom's going to cook for you?
She deserves me because she cooks for me?
Like, you got to go fuck her because she cooks for you for 30 years.
So to show your appreciation.
So he's kind of implying that it's a good son.
The sex is going to be.
The critic is a bad son.
The critic is a bad son.
Yeah, I'm on your, I'm your wig jack.
So she deserves it because like she's kind of been taken care of you.
Yeah.
And like pretty well.
So why not fuck her?
When does she have a moment of his wife?
He cares about her mom.
The mom.
He just needs a bit of sexual rest.
Convalescence.
Do we feel like he ended that sentence and was like, mic drop?
Nailed it.
I don't know.
I mean, like he also did a thing in 2000.
I don't know if you remember this.
He like boxed a bunch of critics.
He was like, oh yeah.
He's like, he's like getting the fucking ring with me, coward.
And all the people said who he beat them all,
he beat the shit.
Oh, I love that.
Because they were like, film critics?
Yeah.
You're telling me these film critics weren't super strong.
A lot of these film critics were like,
they're like, I got in the ring because it was supposed to be like a publicity stunt.
This guy straight up beat the, like, we thought we were going to fuck around.
And he said he also, apparently Ova Bull promised all the critics, like, you're going to have training too.
I want this to be a real fight.
They didn't have any training.
So they just, they stepped in that ring after eating like a bunch of fucking hop.
pockets and shit,
and stitch in their side
and got punched.
But anyway.
I have to admire this man, though,
just because, like,
fist fighting your critics.
That's just a new level of...
The dream.
He was on that shit early.
This is 2006.
This is, like, pre-Twitter.
He's like,
all right, bring that energy
to the fucking ring, then.
Because there's certain, like,
you know, performers and directors
and things that are known
widely for, like,
talking back to their critics or whatever.
We'll be like, okay, calm down.
Why are you in the Instagram comments?
But this man took it all the way
100 steps first.
It said like, no, I'm outside.
You're going to really at your house.
I'm at your house.
Come out if you're not fucking your mother right now.
Finish fucking your mother now and eating dinner.
Let her feed you your last bit of food before I beat the shit out of your post-coitus.
Post-maternal coitus, you coward.
I'll fuck your mother too.
I fuck your mom too after.
Now say postal was the greatest genre of German people.
I'll be that
because my grandfather
was a professor
of German philosophy
and that should be enough
that's fine
and I can say
He's not German
He's not German
He was a professor of German
philosophy
Shout out Gerta
But anyway
The movie that he made
was called Citizen Vigilante
And it's about a fucking
American ex-soldier
Who becomes a landlord in Croatia
And goes on
kill spree because Muslim immigrants are causing all the crime.
Wow.
That really took a turn at the end.
Yeah.
I thought at first it was going to be like under the Tuscan sun.
Oh.
Or like the super or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like Croatia.
I'm thinking like a yacht.
Yeah.
No, no.
He's like, I'm Army Hammer and I'm your landlord.
If somebody assault you or they Muslim and an immigrant, I'm going to shoot them in the head.
So he thought that like this is my question.
Lacey.
What's going to make me more likable?
Like I'm going to do this movie where essentially I'm
I'm going to go colonize someplace.
And then I'm going to steal a bunch of their resources and houses and become a landlord.
And then I'm going to be a lomaphobic.
And I'm going to run other people out of town.
Even though it's like spy versus spies, immigrant versus immigrant.
Right.
But like you got to go.
But I came in the right way.
Yeah, that's right.
Because I came in the white way.
I mean, I'm sorry.
The white way.
No, I said the white way.
Yeah.
I bought the whole property.
But did he think that this like women were going to see?
in this movie and be like, ooh, my seat so damp.
I'm so distracted by the racism that I can hardly focus on the cannibalism.
I forgot all about it.
But yeah, this shit was so bad.
Like, it was banned in Germany because they're like, yeah, this is like illegally
racist as a film.
Like, we're not even going to show this here.
And even the National Review, conservative rag, their fucking review of it was like,
basically they're like, you know, this shit sucks, army.
Yikes.
Really?
Yeah.
They're like, if they thought they were like,
There was something about, it was a line about how this would, his hope was that this role would take him out of exile, but I'm afraid it's only going to prolong it.
I believe it was like the scathing national review sort of description.
What the fuck was he thinking?
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, dude, if you want to be likable, you're going to be a murderous landlord who kills people who are searching a better life.
What is everybody like right now?
Landlords.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
What if he's a, okay, he's a healthcare executive landlord.
cop. And he's also a
narc. He has no business trying to run people out of the country.
He's just doing it.
He's just for the love of the game, for the love of the game.
But to your point, I guess Army Hammer is now, this is from TMZ about his response
to just everyone being like this movie starts, quote, according to an insider in Army's
camp, he cried when he watched the final cut for the first time blasting it as
quote, hateful and quote, disgusting, which is a little odd.
a source further alleged about Army's reaction to the film.
Quote, it's not like he sent him a hundred-page script.
When he saw the final product, he was, that was not the movie I thought we made.
And he freaked the fuck out.
But, okay, sometimes you really don't get a full picture until you should, this depends on the production.
Okay, so are you about to announce your new role as a landlord in a movie?
Look, I was in a movie.
All I know is I just kept saying, you brown people better stay off my land.
Yeah.
You may listen to me.
Who would know better than me?
I don't know how it's going to turn out.
I had a few other lines that were like, Nazis, so good.
I don't know what they're going to do with it.
When I did the ADR session, they had me just yell out a couple loose slurs.
I don't know how they're using them.
But I heard it was going to be really positive.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, there's no way that he didn't at least have a scene or two or some type of direction that would have told them.
It's like, when you see the trailer, it's like very clear he's just like just shooting a guy in the back for being like, hey, you.
Boom, boom, boom.
Right.
And then be like, what did they do?
And the whole thing, too, is the guy is, the character is recording manifestos.
He uploads to the internet video manifesto.
He's like, no one was willing to be brave enough to take matter.
Like, it's that kind of shit.
Like, pure, like, the government is failing to address these people.
So someone had to.
And you're like, I didn't know.
That's what my words meant.
Yeah.
When I did that, someone in his camp was like, we're going to do.
Do we think there are people in his camp?
His camp is like three people.
People around the campfire.
It's the basement where he's locked up people he's about to eat.
Somebody's idea was he's going to do like a post-woke, like relaunch.
Didn't tell him because they didn't want to use those words.
They knew that he would object to that.
Right.
And then now that he's seeing the kind of fullness of what he did, he's like, oh.
Which makes sense because to your point about like doing a post-woke thing is interesting
because Ova Bull, when he was defending,
this film, he's like, no one has the courage
to make a movie like this. Right.
Because no one should. Right, exactly. But using
that sort of like misnomer or
like the obscuring
the intent by being like, this is a courageous act
rather than like, I'm making a straightforward
on its face, xenophobic, hateful,
racist action movie. Because I'm
sorry, we have to stop acting like you're some type of
genius because you said something
derogatory or you're bigoted.
Like, wait, those are the easiest tropes ever.
But what kills me is like, it's definitely giving
like, we didn't quite tell Army, but like,
He was so hated that he had to pivot to white nationalism, like Christian nationalism.
Otherwise, he was not going to have a fan base.
I mean, we've seen it a billion times.
Like Russell Brand, as soon as they jump across the pond and they start talking about loving Jesus.
I bet Army could probably finesse knowing the Bible better than Russell Brand did.
Oh, for sure.
Oh, for sure.
I think so, too.
But I just don't understand.
Maybe Army's just also like a dumb person, like on top of being like a weirdo.
Like maybe he's also very stupid because I don't understand what you thought, like how you thought anybody was going to see this movie and be like,
Wow, he seems like a great guy from this character alone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Right.
With all these allegations of you being an abusive monster,
I'm glad to see that you're just abusing.
It does feel like he stepped back,
watched the actual final film and was like,
oh, this isn't even good.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now I'm racist for no reason.
I thought I was going to be racist to the end of making a career comeback.
You've got to like entertain the racist too.
I thought this was going to be like some monstrous ball kind of shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But no, it was not.
Like, again, do you, like, just look at Ova Bull's past work.
If you thought this is going to be anything other than what it was, that's on you.
But that's also probably his only few options.
I doubt people are like really clever in the work with Army.
Looking at the director's past work sounds like the luxury of somebody who doesn't have cannibal accusations.
Cannabaccusations.
Yeah
So good luck to you
There's another thing
It's a quote
Good luck to you sir
Yeah
Good luck to you
There's stance on the daily
Zeitgeist as always
Salute Army
Good luck to you
Army salute
You are brave
It says
And now Army is reportedly
On the hunt
For the right film
To propel his career forward
He's got to work on his language
Hunt
Hunting
Some would say
The most dangerous game of all
My next role
Yeah
Though the insider claimed that they don't think Army would be fully against a mouth-watering role that he couldn't release from his juicy jaws.
He said he wouldn't be, they said they don't think he would be fully against his sequel to Citizen Vigilante.
Reasoning quote, it would have to be life-changing money.
So it's like so weird.
It's like, so it's a money thing?
But also you come from dynastic wealth.
That's the problem.
And I think that's the problem in multiple.
I think that's the problem with him, like, needing to do this and, like, having that as an excuse.
Like, I need to feed myself because my wife left with the kids a long time ago.
But also generational wealth, just bad for the brain, bad for the soul.
I remember when I worked at Condon asked, we did a video with him.
I think it was around what Cars 2 came out because he was the voice of Jackson Storm.
Yeah, he was Jackson Storm and Cars 3.
Cars 3.
And Cars 3, sorry, Cars 3.
And we did...
Was Jackson Storm the bad car?
Yeah, he was like the new, like, electric car.
The new model.
Yeah.
Who was eaten up the competition.
I like, the villain was an electric car.
I don't know if he was electric, but he was like, they were a new fangled,
whereas like, you know, Lightning McQueen is kind of like a dusty national.
I'm like, kids, smoke on these flavored cigarettes.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, we've got an evil new car.
It's electric.
And it's called Jackson Storm.
Yeah.
So when we did this video, like Condon asked with him, and he had to like, I think it
was commenting on like other anthropomorphic cars or something, but during it, his publicist,
usually like when we've done these videos of celebrities, publicists are like in the back on their
phone.
Yeah.
Just like there to just in case someone goes off the rails.
Let army cook.
Another bad choice of words.
Yeah.
Dude, he's eating, bro.
He ate that.
During this though, the publicist was like behind just, I was directing just over my shoulder,
like watching him going like.
It's shaking.
Back here was like the paper.
Yeah, because he had that energy of like kind of rich kid who would just say whatever.
Like can act proper when he knows like, hey, straighten up because we're doing the red carpet or whatever.
He was like, okay, cool, cool, cool.
He came in and he was talking about doing shrooms and stuff.
And the public was like, please don't put any of this in the video.
Right.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, like, this isn't even relevant to like what we're making.
But okay.
But he gave the impression of like, bro, you're in here talking about cars.
We can't talk about drugs while we talk about kids cars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
But he gave the impression of.
trip my fucking brains out of my ears to get into the character of Jackson's Storm for Cars 3.
I had to fucking nearly drown a Portuguese fisherman off the fucking shores of Montock.
Yeah, if you rip a few rails, like Jackson Storm just comes right out of me.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I ate a whole car to fucking feel it, you know?
All right.
Well, best of luck.
As you, to quote Miles Graham, all the Tommy Hammer, good luck to you.
Good luck to you, sir.

Huge fan.

And this is our new podcast, Wellness Actually.
Because you're getting a staggering amount of health and wellness information nowadays.
And some of it is awesome.
And some of it is, well, actually, bullshit.
Fortunately, we're both people who know how to read studies,
parse data, and can tell you what's worth trying out and what you can safely ignore.
Each episode, we tackle the health news of the week and then take a deeper dive into a misunderstood health and wellness topic, like...
What's the deal with peptide?
What's the deal with GLP ones?
What's the deal with creatine?
What's the deal with cupping?
What's the deal with sleep?
So join us for a weekly dose of sanity.
It might actually be just what the doctor.
Or the economy.

The World Cup is underway and it's been incredible.
On our podcast, The Away End with Danielle Alarcon and John Green,
we're talking about the games that have delighted us,
the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving and what surprised us,
all to the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game.
Daniel, this tournament has been magical so far.
The expanded field of teams has created some incredible matchups
that have already made this World Cup won.
remember, and now things get even more exciting with the intensity of the knockout rounds as the
field is whittled down to one World Cup champion on July 19th.
When you say it like that, I get a pain in my heart that the tournament is over, but there's a lot
of soccer yet to go. And if the first few games of the round 32 are any indication, anything is
possible in the lead up to the final. We've got it covered from an ultra's perspective here on the
away end. So listen to the away end with Daniel Alricone and John Green on the IHeart Radio app,
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
A decade ago, the ethanol kingpin of Iowa became the king of corn in Brazil.
So we met with a lot of larger farmers, went from Bahia to Tokatines to Madagroso.
And he brought a team of executives.
They were going to help the country get in on a gold rush.
Carbon and its derivatives are going to be really the next great commodity that the globe's going
to trade.
But back home in Iowa, trouble was brewing.
If you live in Iowa, your land, your water, and your voice could all be at risk thanks to a man named Bruce Rastetter.
Now people are questioning if his climate solutions have anything to do with climate at all.
You got to give Bruce and the guy's credit.
They're Republican kids.
They don't give a shit of money in this now.
On this season of drilled, Carbon Cowboys, the story of how the ethanol kingpin of Iowa became the king of corn in Brazil
and what it tells us about the limits of technology and markets to solve the climate crisis.
Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
We're back.
And Nido is the toy everyone's going crazy for.
What is it? I don't know.
It's a squishy.
You haven't seen any things?
This is like, I know you have younger kids in your family.
You didn't see any kids walking around these weird, just like, looking like rubber ice cubes.
Yeah, it looks like a rubber ice cube.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, I haven't seen this.
And I'll try to keep up with the unemployed people, but I haven't seen this one yet.
Children?
Yeah.
You know the unemployed.
You know, y'all got them his roommates.
Yeah.
I believe the unemployed are the future.
My deadbeat roommates.
Teach them though, and they will get a job.
Listen, amen.
Yeah.
Okay, so we got needo.
So they're squishy.
They're squishy.
People are treating them like they're being described as colorful rubbery balls and cubes of varying texture that are useful.
valuable sensory play for kids and used by adults for stress relief.
So there's like some aspect of this that is like kind of good for people, you know,
like just in terms of like how people, like people need something to fiddle with.
I've heard them described as like fidget toys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, head that over and I was like, oh, all right.
Yeah, I get it.
Are they wet?
No, no, no, no.
They feel like they should be.
Yeah, they're not, but they feel wet.
Okay.
You know, that's kind of the trick.
They feel like kind of a non-Newtonian, like, between solid liquid.
You squeeze them.
They pop back, but, like, they feel like they shouldn't pop back quite as well.
My eight-year-old is into these.
I was not to say, you have a real guy.
You can't wait until he goes to sleep.
You're like, my turn now.
He's so into them that he had one that he really liked, and it started smelling.
And then he, like, figured out the right dish detergent to use on it to make it stop smelling.
Because it was like old.
I don't know.
Oh, like,
degrading rubber or something.
Oh,
got it exactly.
Wow,
he's taking care of it.
I know,
yeah,
yeah.
There you go,
not spoiling these kids.
Hell no.
Right.
You got a wash.
You better watch.
You better watch.
You better want to go,
we got Nito at home.
You better get that wash rack.
I'm like,
damn,
Jack got a wash glove?
He got a strict growl around.
This is a black household?
I mean?
He's like,
that's for the Nito.
That's what?
The knee what?
The needo.
Your needle cloth.
Yeah.
Get your needle cloth out.
Recently.
There have been a number of news stories about.
So it feels like there are sometimes when something will become a craze and they will manufacture a news story about it.
Yeah.
The boo-boos, it was mostly about sales, but also there was like, are they haunted?
Are they, like, it doesn't have 19th.
Then it's, you know, then it's a lebebe.
Yeah.
La Bebe's case.
This one feels a little less manufactured because there are TikTok trends.
that are suggesting the kids microwave their fucking knee does.
Yeah.
These things seem like they're just on the verge of like bursting.
So like anything like that that you're doing to it is going to be bad.
Yeah.
No, don't do it.
Don't do it.
It's one of those things that like I saw an article about this yesterday and I was like,
oh shit.
I'm like, I love hearing about dipshit kids, microwaving stuff and exploding.
And then I'm like, oh God, these.
This is, this is like, these are, these kids are getting fucked up by this exploding magma that they are fucking microwaving.
Which, crazy.
I didn't even know like, they're like, don't even freeze it.
They're like, don't.
I wouldn't.
I'm like, it's that volatile.
Yeah, they're like, don't slam it on the ground.
Right.
Yeah.
It just explodes.
Fucking take your foot off.
We know.
I didn't realize that they were blowing up.
So is it, if it blows up in the microwave, is it just slime everywhere in the microwave?
Or is it like blowing up the microwave?
Get it out.
It gets on your skin and it's like, you know, it will stick to your skin.
It gets on your skin.
Yeah.
Because it'll like burst, you know?
The membrane becomes too.
So you microwave it first.
Now I'm trying to teach you.
Yeah, yeah.
So listen up, kids.
Yeah, yeah.
Microwave at first.
On 80% power.
Don't go full power on it.
That's how you hurt yourself.
Put it on the popcorn setting.
Like I said.
14 minutes.
But yeah, I think they're so, like you need them to not be too hot, too cold or else
all bets are off.
It's kind of the sense that I get.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
They could just...
The thing that was terrifying
was like, don't even cool it.
And I was like, that's fucking weird.
Pick one.
They have added safety warnings to the box in tiny writing.
Okay, good, good, good.
It's a store at room temp, only room temp, nothing but room temp.
A cool, dark place, free of motion.
Right.
No bad vibes.
No music playing.
You're like, what?
No infrared light.
I love how a toy company is just to never remember.
remember that there's going to be a kid who's going to put it in the microwave.
Like before we had microwave kid, we had magnifying glass kid.
You know what I mean?
Who would be out there burning the ants.
There's always somebody who needs to burn things with fire as a child.
Oh, yeah.
I've talked about this before.
Did you ever shrink those like little snack Frito bags in the microwave?
Oh, like the foil bags.
If you put them in the microwave and just like five.
You put an aluminum in the microwave.
Yes, but not in my house.
Somebody else's.
Only when I was visited people.
But it's crazy because you know like how like Rice Krisby treats.
They have like that sort of semi-metallic foily wrapper
And then like a lot of chip bags are the same way
Like kind of like Milar or whatever
They would fucking go and shrink down
If you did it at the right time
And it just kind of shrunk
And you're like look at this bro, I got a tiny bag of chips
Want to raise Krispy Street?
And a fire, full more fire in the kitchen
Honey I shrunk the kids
We have a-
Yeah, but there is always there's
There is the call of the microwave
That calls out to us
Yeah
That insatiable urge to put some shit in the microwave
So you're admitting that you're a microwaveer
you were my boy's kid.
I did start as a magnifying glass kid.
Okay.
And I would soak newspapers in like WD40
and then just fucking with the magnifying glass.
My eight-year-old is obsessed with just putting a ice cube on a frying pan.
He's like, hey, can I put an ice cube on a frying pan?
I'm like, bro.
Yeah.
Okay.
Your kids are well behaved as hell.
He's like, I got to clean my needle.
Right.
And I need to do my science.
Can I do this laundry real quick?
Yeah.
He's like, you got a couple of socks over there.
Yeah, I'm about to do a load of whites.
Like, what are they doing?
I love it.
He's like, do you have any bluing?
Because a lot of people, there's a misconception that bleach is actually how you get white clothes wider.
You actually need to introduce blue to it to get them wider.
Do you have blueing, father?
Father.
No, but I feel like ice cube on the frying pan is the gateway drug to microwave.
Wait, why is that?
Because it like on the stove, you mean?
Yeah, yeah.
Like where you watch it sizzling.
I thought your kid was coming with a loose frying pan and ice cube.
He's like, father, may I put the ice cube on the frying pan?
Just imagine.
He wants to see the water like, you know.
I was like, he's patient as fuck.
No, no, no.
He was like, hmm.
Jack only gives his kids great depression air toy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Father, may I play with the hoop.
May I hit it down the street with my stick?
Wash your stick, boy.
Wash your stick.
Did you clean off that penny farthing?
Anyways, back to kids getting injured.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no, the kids, right?
Yeah.
So this has been happening for about a year.
There are even reports of kids suffering.
from chemical burns after being exposed to the gel-like substance inside the Nito
from simply playing with the toy, not even heating it.
Oh, wow.
That's being denied by the CEO of the company.
Have you ever seen the very old SNL sketch where Dan Aykroyd is like, what, it's a bag of glass?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what the CEO of the company is giving.
It's like, it's not capable of burning skin.
It's simply maltose.
Okay?
Everybody knows maltose.
The shit's fine.
Yeah, everybody's going to be heat misuse.
It's as they say.
Yeah.
It's not like our bodies, you know, radiate heat of a certain temperature.
Oh, yeah.
If it goes up one degree, it becomes terribly unstable.
It becomes volatile.
As long as the kids are below 98 degrees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're playing with it indoors?
Oh, shit.
We got a death wish, fucker?
I call my kid a fucker, man.
What the hell?
He's in a hospital right now.
Look at this.
Look at this fucker.
He's faking it.
Watch this.
High five, my guy.
Look.
Go to the hospital.
They're like, they're like, his eyes are bad.
The hospital like doing your press conference.
These kids are fine.
Look at him.
He loves it.
He loves it.
He brought you a bunch of needles.
He jumps in my...
It's too heavy.
The kid would actually be into that though.
Yeah.
Just came up.
It is hard to put your full trust in a company that was once fined $200,000 for not recalling a toy they knew contained more than 40 times the legal limit of lead paint.
Wow.
Okay.
Okay.
So they're all about...
But where do we draw the line?
20 times?
Yeah.
Right, right, right.
10 times.
40 times the legal limit.
That just seems like it was painted with lead.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Like not even paint.
Like just dipped in like lead shaving.
Yeah.
That's all we have left is lead.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, we've got are these damn dental vests.
Or like how they see it in a chero or something.
It's just like they just put the top there just rolling in there.
Shaking some lead on it.
There you go.
But they were like, yeah, we don't know why they didn't recall this.
It's so weird.
I was just saying this before we recorded like, the social media age is so
fucked up because kids now have so many vectors for getting bad ideas.
Oh yeah.
In the 90s, it would be like one kid whose parents are divorced and were never home.
Yeah.
At your school.
There was a kid at my school named Ryan.
He fucking, he looked.
I had a Ryan too.
He looked like he was microwaving needles and getting burnt at home.
Yeah.
Like he looked like he was the outcome of his own like dumb kid experiments.
And he would come to school and like, you know, you should do.
It was like, and it was enough that you're like,
every time you do your impression of this kid, like one of your eyes.
like kind of shrivels up and like it looks like it's twitching because it like to me I remember as a kid being like bro you look like you got all these scratches and shit because I see because he would do reckless shit at school too like just fucking do a gainer like off a jumble gym like almost break his neck and stuff and I'm like this kid has bad ideas so when he would come through with a bad idea you're like no yeah I don't want to be like you but that was word of mouth that was through the great vibe that's how our ancestors passed off the childhood recipes like making that the oral traditions
The little S, that's kind of an eight with the lines.
Yes, we passed the Stoosy to each other, you know, like the old lore.
Yeah.
But now it's like they can get on the internet and find any idiot across the globe.
Mine wasn't Orion.
Mine was an Adam.
Oh.
Yeah, crazy Adam.
And you knew whatever he was on, not for me.
Yeah, like sometimes he'd be like, you know, you could staple your skit.
Like it was like, Adam.
But I was always very nice to Adam because I never knew if things were going to
right or left him.
You want to be on his side.
You want Adam to emerge from the shadows at your time of need.
Like a Deus X Machina with like this like staple skin.
He's like, I got you, Lacey.
Or you want to one of those like he's walking past and like, you good.
Because I'm like, you're hiding under your desk.
I know, I hate to take it there.
That's where I was like, you know, he's Adam.
You don't want to piss Adam up.
He's like, you're the man, Adam.
You're the man.
You're the man. You're the man. Staple skin, man.
Still a fucking gold idea, bro.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I see you, man.
Look at that, aim.
What else can we talk about?
We can talk about window seats, which no longer mean window seats.
There's a class action lawsuit after customers have said that they bought window seat tickets, but their seat had no window.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll be there with my neck brace on.
Yeah.
This is a thing.
There are two lawsuits going out against United and Delta.
But again, this is how I've been on other airlines aside from these where I thought I had a window seat and it was just plastic wall.
It was just fuselage.
I've been sitting there right.
Can I get a win?
Yeah.
Like it feels like back rooms and some shit.
You're like, well, my hand go through here.
Because it's clear that they've added some extra rows to the planes to squeeze us in.
This is what it's like.
The alignment's off.
And it's like, I can't even take.
No one can take ownership of the window seat or the window because it's like right in between the seats.
So like who now who owns?
the window. Oh, yeah. The window's like by your elbow. Yeah. It's like, this is the window.
And now you're here, I'm here. Who gets to work it? Who decides how much like?
Exactly. Depends. Because they are very adamant. Or that's not there at all. Yeah. Yeah.
So a federal judge Monday, quote, rejected United Airlines bid to dismiss a lawsuit by passengers who complained they paid extra money to sit in window seats, only to discover there were no windows there.
U.S. District Judge James Donato rejected United's defense that, quote, window referred to the location of a seat,
relative to the cabin wall and aisle.
And the carrier also contended,
and never contractually promised
that seats in the window position
would have views outside.
Windows is just like a vibe.
Yeah, you know?
Exactly.
It's just like an idea.
The window is an idea.
Unfortunately for the United,
the judge also said,
United's ticketing terms,
boarding passes and reservation screens state expressly
that the airline would provide window seats
to passengers who paid for them.
And the judge said, quote,
no more is needed at this stage
for the breach claims to go forward.
They're like, bro, you're, there's nothing in, there's nothing like where you're cleverly wording.
You're like window, wink, wink.
Also, I was just, when I went to D.C. a couple of months or a couple weeks ago, I was on Southwest and flying with the guy's child.
The window seat is like the fucking in-flight babysitter for like a toddler.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, they fucking play with the window shade.
They look out of the fucking window.
There's something on the wing.
He does all that shit.
He's doing old Shatner, bro.
He's got, he's got.
He's got range.
He's got range.
But it's just really, it's like just crazy to me because when I got there and there was no window just wall, he looked at me like I was fuck.
Like I was punishing him.
He's like, where's the window?
I'm like, why did you make the window go away?
And it's not easy.
He's like, what did I do, Daddy?
Exactly.
And I was like, here's the thing.
My child, window just refers to the location of the sea relative to the cabin wall and aisle.
And we don't actually have a contractual guarantee that.
that we would be sat by literal window.
He didn't get it.
Did you give him his ball and cup?
I find that my kids really respond well to ball and cup.
He used that like that top that you wrap the string around the top and he goes,
and then she was flying all up and down the aisles.
We had to kind of stop playing with it because they said it was a safety risk.
But yeah, it's just not, it feels like the lowest hanging fruit in terms of how you price it.
Like, give me a little discount.
If I got a wall, wall seat.
Yeah.
Also, there's something, we're past dystopian.
I hate when people use that word.
like, Davis, we're in dystopia.
Yeah, yeah.
And now, right, literally.
And so there's just something so sad and even more dystopian about, like, oh, I just bought
wall.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got my flight to New Mexico.
Yeah, we fly in wall, wall economy minus.
Yeah, right.
Wall steerage.
Yeah.
Up against the, the bathroom is behind you.
Wall here.
Can't work line.
You're just in the toilet corner.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The wall to the laboratory is like kind of soft.
So it's like I lean my chair back and it went into the laboratory.
Yeah.
But you do get $5 off if you fly a laboratory wall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, there are definitely like everything is trying to nudge people more to be like, we need to get.
Because you see this all the time like internal discussions at airlines.
Like they want to push more people to pay to pay as much money to not be in like the painful seats.
So like we got to make a economy seat.
Painful is shit.
We got to.
Everybody wants to go to plus or.
Well, they've added so many things.
It used to just be like economy and first.
And then it became like, okay, we've got economy.
And then at the plane's bigger, we got business.
And then we got premium plus.
We got premium plus.
But now we got economy plus.
And then we got economy regular.
And then we got economy poverty.
And it's like, it's like,
economy broke ass.
With your broke ass.
Are you diamond ruby?
Right, right.
Pearl status.
Oh, let me see your ticket.
Oh, yeah.
Your seat category is actually Irish immigrant.
in the bottom of the Titanic.
Right.
Dancing scene.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh, so you, you platinum rubble?
Yeah.
You put in, like, you're pebble status?
Okay, yeah, pebble, y'all got away.
This one just says suitcase.
Yeah.
Pebble is for like, when we start taking off, if you're on the jetway, you get on the plane.
Yeah.
And I think, I mean, it's like everyone complains now.
Like, every airline has been just worse and worse and worse and gives people less and less and
less and charging more.
Yeah, Delta is now not giving, not giving you snacks, like that little Biscop cookie or those
little sun chips that should be getting.
They're on your credit, right?
Before they used you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, it's also extra for seboes
if you want those.
Right.
You're just giving those out willing to know more.
They're like, look, if you died,
this ain't gonna hurt.
You'll be all right.
You know, be all right.
They're kind of negligible at the point.
But like, if you're flying from SFO to L.AX,
like that flight is not deemed long enough to have a
sun chip or a Biscoff anymore.
Yeah.
So it's like they're cutting every corner.
Yeah.
They were,
I flew recently and I went to the back and asked for a little more water and they
gave it to me. So I was pretty. They gave me a little more water in my little plastic cup.
Is that because they made you cry and then they put the cup up to your eyes? And they're like,
here you go home. You got a little Oliver twist. My own tears? Yeah, good enough for you?
There you go. Now get your ass back in the seat. Right. Lacey Mosley. Such a pleasure having
you as always on the daily side. Yeah. Thank you. So I'm so happy to be back. Welcome back.
It's been years, guys. I know. I know. It hasn't really been the same. Well, we see each other.
Yeah, we see each other often.

One of my favorites was someone said,
wisdom has been chasing you,
but you've always been faster.
Wow.
I was like, oh, classy.
It's like a fortune cookie.

I was like, we need new ways to really get in there to insult people.
I'm going to start on insults and insults.

A work of media I like is this creator
on Instagram, G underscore
Tailforth.
What she does, she's from London, and what she
does is she just dubs
scenes from keeping up with the Kardashians.
She's like, what if they were from South London?
Oh, so let me just play this
really quick. Wow. Oh, yes. What a trait.
Because this, she's doing lip dubs, but with like,
Adele, Adele energy.
Baby, if you had a fucking business that you were passionate about,
then you would know what it takes to run a fucking business,
but you don't.
So don't even act like you know what I'm talking about.
Wow.
And it like matches up.
Oh yeah.
She's like in a full on like VO.

Burn Center, the legendary Grossman.
Because it was one of those things growing up in LA
on the news, whenever somebody got burned in a fire,
like they were always like live outside the Grossman Burns.

It's just one of those like local things.
You were really just like grim.
