It's Thursday, May 9th, 2019. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. The Zeit King and his army of Zeitwalkers. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! Talk on, talk on With smoke in your lungs And you'll never smoke alone. You'll never smoke alone. And that is, look, I am an Arsenal fan, but I have to give it up.

Liverpool FC did something amazing on Tuesday, beating Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League. So that is to all the Liverpool fans out there begrudgingly. Is that a Beatles song? Is that what? No, it's another guy from Liverpool. It's something Jerry and the Heart Pacemakers or some shit, I think. Okay, got it, got it, got it. Yeah.

Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented Aris Wanzer. Oh my God, you said my name correctly. Yeah, I've been practicing. We're drilling this morning. Thanks! I'm here for it. We're thrilled to have you here. Thank you for having me.

Hello everyone. So Miles, this is Liverpool and was that also in honor of the naming of young baby Archie? I don't... We'll get into that later. I don't... Yeah, what?

You don't give a shit? I don't... No, it's not that Archie. I mean, the thing that I'm pissed about is they were like, the name will unify the US and the UK. They put a lot of pressure on that. Her name is Archie. I don't know one American person named Archie that is not a fictitious character.

Right. There's the comic character and then a bunch of British people. The closest thing I know, I was saying, is the basketball player Tiny Nate Archibald. Yeah. And that was his last name. And that's his last name. Yeah. I never even thought of Archie being short for anything.

So Archibald just blew my mind. Archibald. And if that's his first name, call Child Protective Services, because he will be bullied with that name. Yeah. And there's not a better way to shorten Archibald, is there? No. Baldy?

No. Chibald. Yeah, exactly. Chibald. It's Chibald. It's Chiboy. It's Chibald. It's Chibald.

All right, Ares, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell our listeners just a few of the things we're talking about. Of course, we're talking about Baby Chabal. We're talking about the Watchmen HBO series, which is looking pretty, I don't know. Fucking chill. Pretty fucking chill, bro. Yeah, I mean, I liked the graphic novel, so I was... I loved the graphic novel, did not care for the movie, and this looks

pretty dope. It looks like it goes away from the graphic novel, but we'll get into it. We're going to talk about the Sultan of Brunei pulling a 180 on his death penalty policy for homosexuality. We're going to talk

about the President Donald Trump's taxes, his sporting taxes. He's either, turns out, a criminal or the worst businessman of all time. Or both. Or both. Yeah. Either way. Even if he's a criminal, he's very bad at doing it.

Because it is even like white collar criminals were like, oh, that was not subtle. We're going to talk about the president's claim of executive privilege over the Mueller report. Good luck with that. What the fuck? We're going to ask what the fuck is up with Zillow. What the fuck is up with everybody, you know? Yeah, indeed. We're going to check back in with Stephen Moore.

It would be easy to just let this dude off the hook and stop paying attention to him. But it is interesting to just get a kind of a look inside the conservative brain at this moment as to it's ugly and terrifying. But, you know, some of us find that interesting. but you know some of us find that interesting it's weird like we were talking off Mike about how the same way we will try and rationalize our laziness and create just monumental

mental gymnastic loops to jump through conservatives do that for things like racism and misogyny oh it's nuts in that sense I'm like wow we do have common ground wait what? we're both tricking ourselves to bring out the worst of us.

These are facts. Exactly. It's like when people who are in cults take intelligence tests, they always score really high because they're just good at convincing themselves of whatever crazy shit they want. That's what we do with our intelligence is convince ourselves of whatever we want. I convinced myself when I was 16 that I was a Sean John model. And I told that lie. Nobody believed me.

Wow. Anyway. That's actually very impressive. Yeah, that's a new podcast called Shit We Told Ourselves in High School. It's going to be depressing. I want to hear that train of logic, how you ended up. I was, yo, so look, sidetrack. I had friends who were on the Disney Channel growing up,

and they were at a celebrity basketball charity game in St. Louis that Joe Torre and the comedian Guy Torre, the Torre brothers from St. Louis, they would put on every year. It's me, Jaleel White, who plays Urkel. Amazing. Shia LaBeouf, my homie mike g rest in peace uh tech from the real world hawaii season and we were going around the city and people in st louis knew there were a lot of people in town for the celebrity basketball tournaments like oh

there's tech with oh there's there's urkel or whatever and they're like oh that's that white boy from holes right and like and then at the clubs they were like who are you i was like i'm yeah you know i'm model for like sean i had a sean john sweats a velour suit on with a fucking headband okay check the check the technique from that year and i was like yeah you know i work with sean and they're like oh my god that's so great uh one person well i for a while i had to because then like you know oh all right like as a you were method about your life i was method and then slowly i was like no maybe i am i cannot i can't imagine the pressure of being that young and having that many famous friends i know i'd feel so like unemployed well but going up in la

you're just kind of like nah man these are the people who are gonna feed me right they're gonna pay for these drinks that's the industry yeah it is the industry it's like your first sugar daddy yeah and see and then and then i had enough self-delusion tell myself man i'm better than these motherfuckers anyway right am i on a show no right but i'm better yeah no you're just waiting you're picking your spot yeah that's what that's called the ego is an amazing thing uh and the last story we're going to talk about is the story I can't wait to talk about. One of my favorite scams that I've heard about a dude in Argentina is convincing people he's a sorcerer. And what he's doing with that power is evil. Evil, but very basic.

Very basic, but a very basic scam. Very effective. Preying on the lovelorn. But first, Aris, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I look up a lot of furniture. Okay. Yeah. Whether it be like vintage or just rugs.

I just like to make my house look nicer than everyone else's. Okay. What's your aesthetic? What are we talking? Okay. Like mid-century modern, but everything's tufted. Oh, wow. Like deep gemstonetoned fabrics.

Okay. But lots of wood and marble. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not enough marble to call me Persian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have any columns yet? No, God, no. That's a totally different genre.

God, no. Mid-century modern, for the love of God. No lions? No. No animals in my house that aren't alive. You need like a gold cheetah, gold-plated cheetah? No. No, I don't do like hands on the wall.

I don't like anything like that. Right, right, right. Goddamn. Everyone's in mid-century. Yeah, lots of furniture. Where do you buy? Do you buy used? Do you buy new?

Actually, I buy new because I'm awful. But so my favorite place, I think, is HD Buttercup in Coles City in downtown. So I buy a lot of furniture there. Yeah. Hey, I'm going to start a GoFundMe so I can get an Eames chair. Well, I'll give the link to that later on. What's your favorite piece of furniture that you have in your house?

I'm going to say it's my couch. It's an orange, mid-century modern tufted couch and it's like a giant rectangle and I hate the legs on it, but I'll change those at some point. Legs are changeable. Legs are totally changeable. Not on people.

Unfortunately. You can tell me that every time I look in the mirror. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Ooh. One Direction. Wow.

I said it. I'm sorry, wait. What the? Did you just say One Direction is fucking overrated yes alright end the podcast

Miles who's booking these people man One Direction is overrated right did I just say that someone's

overrated that keeps the lights on RIP your mentions RIP your fucking mentions I don't give a fuck come for me bitch I got something to say I just like I don't know like a lot of for me, bitch. I got something to say. I just like,

I don't know, like a lot of, but it's most of these like contrived bands, like girl bands, boy bands, like they're not the Backstreet Boys.

They're not the Spice Girls and call me old school, but they're just not there. I'm like, where's the message? Because if it's just falling in love, we've already heard that.

I need something else. So how would you elevate One Direction to make them that group? I don't know. Sing about depression. Sing about shit the kids are actually going through. Yeah, just because I don't really, I'm like, are we seriously going through this again?

Because we have a thousand songs about this. Not even more than a thousand. Every song is about fucking love. And I'm like, can we have a song about my love for Froyo? Or you thought you'd own a home right yeah let's talk about yeah where's the student loan you thought yeah okay because that's the shit i want to hear about i would blast that shit i was just talking to somebody uh about uh i i saw harry styles in the wild recently and this person freaked out and was like what the what happened

like it's harry styles i'm like i don't that means. Yeah, he just looks like any lesbian in West Hollywood. I was like, the dude from Dunkirk? And then people got, then she got upset and then told me about how the fan culture around it, like there are people called Larry's

who ship Louis and Harry. Yeah, they think that there's a long-term relationship there. Right, and how motherfuckers go so far as to like hack family photos and shit to try and find the proof that these two are together.

And I was like, I don't have that much energy for anything. Right. I think you have that much energy for Zayn, but he left. That was the only really hot one. I'm like, okay, the rest of you, if I could pass them on the street, I would have no idea. What's he up to? I don't know. I think he's just attractive.

Right. Like formally dating a Hadid. I don't know. Yeah. That's all I think anyone knows. Right. And he has some tattoos. He has more tattoos than most of them.

And he smokes a lot of weed. That's enough. Being attractive and dating a Hadid. That's a full time job. Gotta love those eyebrows too. Yeah. Yeah. But do you think, I mean, do you think they're worse than the Backstreet Boys or do you think

we just already had a Backstreet Boys? We don't need this. It's not that we don't need anything else. I think there's always room for something more. Yeah. Like I love, I'm a bigstreet Boys. We don't need this. It's not that we don't need anything else. I think there's always room for something more. Like, I love, I'm a big believer in abundance. Like, more, more, more, but make it better. Just make it better. Like, if you're going to do it again, do it better.

It's just like these remakes of movies. Stop remaking movies that were already fucking good. Everyone's like, do Hocus Pocus. I'm like, nah, bitch. That's it. That's 116 minutes of pure fucking gold. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone.

If it's not the original cast coming back for more, I don't want to see it. Like Kathy Najimy better pull up in that fucking movie. Yeah, no, I don't want to see Casey Musgraves pretending she's fucking Sarah Jessica Parker. That's going to piss me off. The new one would be like Reese Witherspoon. Who would play the Bette Midler part?

She's got a sharp chin. She could be a witch easily. She would be a good chick. Bette Midler would be Jessica Chastain. So who would Reese Witherspoon be? Is she the Sarah Jessica Parker? She'd have to be the dumb one. She's just pretty enough.

I think she's gorgeous. I love you, Reese. She's pretty. She's too pretty to be a too witchy witch. You have to be the cunty one right what is something you think is underrated i'm gonna go ahead i'm gonna keep it gay for you guys i'm gonna say rupaul rupaul the person is underrated yeah just because everybody loves to talk shit or drag him about the shit he says he or she says i don't know where i'm going with

these pronouns so please i don't care i'm like, I'm imagining him in and out of drag. No, but I think he's totally underrated. I think people really don't appreciate RuPaul's podcast one. I have to shout that out. But he started like a whole culture of like the community. Like, cause drag used to be made fun of. Like I was a drag queen before I jumped the fence.

Hello, transgender woman here. No, but I'm right, hey. No, but I was a drag queen for three and a half years and it wasn't like a respected profession we'd make like 20 bucks a gig and now these bitches are pulling thousands per gig being flown all over the world and it is a it's like a respected job yeah like if you see a drag queen out you're like oh shit that bitch is going to work it's not why is that guy in a dress right literally change a culture the way a culture shifted and to have like a whole con around it like a drag con in both new york and la it's nuts like how the fuck did you just shift

toxic masculinity into everyone put on a fucking dress and it's kind of working right and then make it international yeah and everyone's like just yeah we got checks for you all over the world exactly exactly because they have like a th version too. But it's not just gay people watching this. Oh, hell no. And that's the gag because you can't have 90 million people watching a show and it's all gays. Because guess what? We would run the world at that point. Right.

Yeah. So it's definitely bigger than that. So I think RuPaul is super fucking underrated. Yeah. He just changed the game. And the culture is way, way better for him being a conduit between that culture and the mainstream culture. And it was one of those things too, like when Ru was still doing cameos and things in films,

people were becoming more and more familiar. And they're like, okay, what's that? And I remember that's when I was like, I forget what I was watching, but someone told me to watch Paris is Burning. Oh, okay. Well, yeah, when he's a health teacher. So good.

And then my dad or someone was like, no, you can see Paris is Burning. And what the fuck is that? to watch paris burning okay well yeah when he uh he's a health teacher so good yeah and then uh like my dad or someone was like no you can see paris is burning and what the is that and they're like that's like the like the og documentary about like ball culture and drag culture and i was like what the i'm like willy ninja and then i'm voguing took my life away yeah i had to get man if y'all haven't seen these vogue battles get ready they're amazing yeah and we've talked before about how rupaul was part of the athens georgia rem b-52 scene like in the 80s and like yeah just always a part of like after after a while when somebody is just a part of like a culture defining scene like multiple times it's

like maybe there's something special about that person. Right. Yeah. You know? Exactly. There's a testament to, you know, people who aren't just gay who are watching because one time I saw kimchi and I was like, I got to flick it up one time with kimchi. Right. I'm like, your makeup game is from another planet, kimchi. Kimchi is hilarious too. She had a really great tweet actually.

I know you guys have a tweet question, but she had a tweet and it was like, she goes, I'm so sick of white people talking about their bowel movements when someone's eating ethnic food like oh

are you having curry oh you're gonna have to go to the bathroom after that oh a burrito you're gonna have to go to the bathroom after that

and she said don't be mad at me because your sensitive ass stomach can't handle seasoning I was like yes bitch I don't know

yeah I was dying because I was like that's such a good comeback when someone's saying something like that so just genius see the whole culture shifted I was like, that's such a good comeback when someone's saying something like that.

Sorry. Just genius. See, the whole culture shifted. I'm like, thank you for the tweets. Thank you for all the queens I love today. Because you're responsible for them, essentially. Oh, and how much slang, too. So much slang.

How much slang? The best slang, too. Right? Finally, what is a myth? What's something that people think is true you know to be false or suspect to um something that people think is true that i know to be false uh that milk is good for you like let's talk about that i was gonna go in when we got to craft services but like yeah milk is not fucking good for you adults adult humans are not supposed to drink milk like it is

food for baby cows to turn into big cows and so so if you're defending milk, I'm like, okay, drink your milk. But I don't want your titty pus from a cow. I will pass. I will fucking pass. It's disgusting. Are you vegan? I'm a pesky vegan. So I know everyone that doesn't.

Oh, so you're just annoying? Exactly. Everyone that lives in L.A., like doesn't live in L.A., hates me right now listening to this. They're like, fucking bitch. I'm like, whatever. What's a pescatarian otherwise yeah I do I do like seafood but I don't do dairy I don't do please I don't even do bread I don't eat white food so you just eat uh tuna and uh tuna fish okay I can eat anything anybody else just has to like not have dairy in it which is super easy to come

across yeah especially if you shop at Trader Joe's. Yeah, no cheese. Everything's labeled. No cheese. No, there's lots of vegan cheese. Super easy. It's good? Yeah.

I have vegan string cheese at my house. It's fucking bright. It's good? Yeah. The diet on the pizza, though, diet cheese on the pizza, I can't do. Eh, you got to find your brand. They have other brands at Whole Foods, so you got to pay a little more. Right, right, right.

But it's going to melt just right. There you go. It's going to melt just right. There you go. It's going to be fucking good. Which is so funny, though, too, because on one hand, some of the best vegan stuff is just so chemically built in a lab to mimic the thing. And I'm like, you know what? I like that, too. Not to drag it or anything. Aren't Doritos?

Right. Yeah. No. Not to say anything we aren't, but I like that how much science goes into making like vegan things yeah sort of seemingly like because like we know we eat impossible burgers a lot yeah and we like i'm addicted to them because they're just so good but i'm like i thank you to all the scientists who put hours in the lab to try and make sure this thing is cooking up a little bit like the beef right just a full year since it's. I think it's a fun game.

Scientific progress. The 60s had the moon landing, and we have the impossible. Exactly. Right? All right, guys. Let's get into the story today of, I mean, this is the main story of the day, I think. Megan and Harry's baby now has a name. We have pictures.

What is the name? The name is Archie. No, please give it respect. Oh, my God. Sorry. Give it the full name. This is why we talked about Archie. Is his name Archibald? His name is Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor.

That is Anglo-Saxon as fuck. I know. Yeah. Like, overdoing it. Where's Harrison from? I don't know. Probably Harry. That's his dad. Like, literally Harry's son? Yeah. Oh overdoing it. Where's Harrison from? I don't know. Probably Harry. That's his dad.

Like literally Harry's son? Yeah. Oh shit, that's true. Is Prince George Williamson? I never thought of that. No, I don't think so. No, no, that's like too, that's weird. But Archie.

But maybe Harry's real name is Harrison. It might be Harrison. Oh shit. And what, you gotta take, whatever. I mean, I wish I gave a fuck about the name because I'm, like I said, Archie though? I can't believe there's a black Archie. I hope he has red hair. I mean, I wish I'd give a fuck about the name because I'm, like I said, Archie, though? I can't believe there's a black Archie. I hope he has red hair.

I know, right? What is he going to do? Black Archie, red hair. Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor. He's going to join a country club. It is. Yeah. Well, I don't know.

Megan's always been like, he's going to grow up normal. I mean, as normal as you can be a fucking prince. You can't grow up normal with I mean, as normal as you can be a fucking prince. With those rules, they can't get out of bed. But it would be funny if they're like, look at Megan Prince, Harry, and Archie were at Red Lobster again. You know what I mean? If it was like that, then I would be like, okay, I see what you're doing

over here. I want to see them eat with their hands at Red Lobster. Right. Exactly. This is what I want. And then Megan's taking shit off other people's tables and just like, go. Well, they didn't touch the biscuits. The cheddar biscuits. Yeah. Just ghetto. She's actually really hood.

I want to know. I mean, I'm curious how you could conceivably raise a child normally given these circumstances. Well, he will be black, so. Right. It's hard to get any privileges when you're there. But they're probably going to straighten his hair and shit. Oh, God. You know what I mean?

Put a relaxer in or something. Oh, God, I hope not. Like, I hope not. I probably going to straighten his hair and shit. Oh God. You know what I mean? Put a relaxer in or something. Oh God, I hope not. Like, I hope not. I want it to be a big red fro. No, I have a feeling they're going to let that shit fly. But I just don't know

how you could tell a kid, it's like, look, you're seventh in line to the throne. Right. But pick up your goddamn toys. Right. Or I don't know, you know?

Yeah. Well, where do they land? I know that they've insisted they want to stay out of the Capitol and just kind of keep it quiet because that's how they do it. But we'll see. Are they moving to America? Wasn't that a rumor at one point? Yeah, but look, we get all of our information from Talmud, so we don't know. No, I want that reality show if they are.

Oh, shit. I want that show. In the valley, living next door to Drake and Ken and Kanye. In Calabasas and shit. Oh, shit. Hidden Hills. You call it Out of Suits. Right.

I'm like, let's do this. Right, right, right. And then I can finally do my buddy comedy with Harry. Be like, yo, we got the same fucking birthday, bro. You ever smoke a backwoods before? And then it all goes downhill. And Megan's like, I don't like Miles coming around so much, Harry. They're like, he's a cool bloke.

Cool bloke. He's very chill. This name though, I mean, after promising to unite the UK and America with a name and then giving the child the most British name that I could possibly conceive of, I don't know. Is it the most, what's the most British name you could think of?

Hobnob. Hobnob. If they put Fauntleroy in there, I would have. I would say Harry Potter. Harry Potter. Oh my God, I would have gagged.

Well, they even have a Harry in there though. Oh shit. Harry's real name is Harrison. Hogwarts. Hogwarts. Harrison Potter. Hogwarts Windsor.

Yes. Dumbledore. Too much. I'm glad that I'm reducing all the things I know about the UK down to Harry Potter right

honestly that's a whole another movement yeah Crumpet would be a good Crumpets yeah now it's really

we're doing the stereotypical what American yeah man bangers dumbass fucking pasty

right alright let's talk about something that we can speak knowledgeably about something that we can speak knowledgeably about. Yeah. Something we can speak knowledgeably. Yes. Watchmen, HBO series, looking solid.

Yeah. I mean, we've seen a lot of montages where it's like coming soon or this year. And we've seen glimpses. But now we have a full minute 20 teaser. I didn't know there was an army of Rorschachs in this thing. But the one thing, even if you're not a fan, will look cool. Jeremy Irons has an elderly Ozymandias.

Yeah, because it was an Ozymandias, like kind of younger, like 30s-ish. Yeah, but this is like, he's apparently, it was described as an older age or latter day Ozymandias. Oh. Or the character. What was his real name? So is this after the events of the graphic novel? Possibly.

Huh. It must be. Yeah. And I haven't looked into it enough to know how it actually relates to... Because it's not a direct adaptation, but it has a lot of the stuff in it. Yeah. So I don't know. And Trent Reznor is doing the score.

So that's good for about 50% on your Rotten Tomato meter. Oh, yeah. With Atticus. Yeah. Because, man, the social network, don't you remember that score? Hell yeah,% on your Rotten Tomato meter. Oh yeah, with Atticus? Yeah. Because, I mean, the social network, don't you remember that score? Hell yeah, man.

That score was really good. That movie is like 40% score. Is this DC or Marvel, though? This is neither. Neither. Oh, wow. Okay. Because if it was DC,

it's a guaranteed like all Rotten Tomatoes. Right. Okay, let's not put all our eggs in this basket. Right, right, right. I'm like, wait a minute. What's the dude's name who wrote all those comics?

Frank Miller? No. The guy who wrote Watchmen is, sorry. I almost didn't know you could do that without DC or Marvel. Alan Moore. Alan Moore, yeah, yeah, yeah. So this dude's like, my bad, it is DC. Is it?

Oh, good luck. Yes. Good luck, Watchmen. You've got a lot to live up to. But see, they're doing it right because they're like, don't fucking make a movie out of this. What? Oh, I'm sorry.

Engineer Dan is over here throwing his hands up in Nerdville across the way. Oh, you big man. You mad at my fact check? It's not like you can't look it up. I know, we were just doing it real time. But yeah, I mean, I think it would be tough to,

I don't know, if they've fully fucked it up like Warner Brothers DC style. Well, Alan Moore was all about, he didn't use any of the pre-existing characters. He made up his own characters. Right, universe, right. He would always, when he would rewrite something or write a series, it would always be something that was in the public domain. He didn't want to fuck with other people's properties. So like Watchmen is basically all characters that he created.

And like, there's, there's like the owl or some shit that's like kind of like Batman, but not really. Right. Night owl. Yeah. Night owl.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, I always identify with Dr. Manhattan. Yeah. Dr.

Manhattan's one of the great characters. Yeah. It's just overly logical. It's like Superman. Sometimes lost his humanity. Manhattan's one of the great characters. Yeah, just overly logical. It's like Superman. And sometimes lost his humanity because he's like, I don't understand. It's like Superman taken to his logical extreme. Yeah.

Where he just can't think as a human being. Yeah. And also gives everybody cancer when he has sex with them. Yes. Take me away, daddy. Speaking for my whole generation and finally the Sultan of Brunei so George Clooney stuck his chest out

and was like I'm not gonna have drinks at this dude's hotels anymore well the Sultan of Brunei you know came out with some fucking medieval punishment, basically saying that people who were, you know, found to be engaged in any kind of homosexual activity would be stoned to death. And, yeah, that was when George Clooney first

and, like, Elton John, they're all like, we're not dealing with any of their hotels because in LA, like, the Beverly Hills Hotel and what's the other one, the Bel Air Hotel, I think, are both owned by the Solzhenitsyn Brunei. Somewhere I can't go. Yeah, right. They don't allow transgender people inside. I'm just kidding.

They're like, you know about the ownership. Sorry, I'm going to be stoned. Yeah, but then on top of that, actually J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank actually told their staff to not completely cut ties from the the those banks doing business with those hotels in any capacity that's the thing to get any change you have to hit people on the wallet it's so nuts that's the only color that really matters no one's really racist because you could be rich yeah no one exactly no one has a heart or morals they just have a wallet exactly that's really look like they said what was it in uh vanilla sky there's like a quote he's like

my dad said the answer to 99 out of 100 questions is money wow that's true I love that you can quote Vanilla Sky I know that's one of the

great movies right I can only quote like Cameron Diaz I'm like you came in me we're in love we're in love

oh man ah such trash yeah well that's all that's the only part I remember actually and the soundtrack it was better than what I remembered I think because I saw it when I was like a teenager and I was like damn that's trash. Yeah, well, that's the only part I remember, actually. And the soundtrack.

It was better than what I remembered. I think because I saw it when I was a teenager, and I was like, damn, that's deep. One of the most expensive shots in the history of movies is the shot at the beginning. Empty New York? Where he runs around through an empty New York. And that was like, they had to go in at 6 in the morning, empty out Times Square,

just so Tom Cruise could run around like a Dalmatian what the hell yeah is he even worth it yeah sorry Tom yeah not for that yeah no but that's not to say that even uh despite the announcement though uh in Brunei like there's still like LGBT citizens in Brunei still face all kinds of punishment oh of course like they're never out of the woods like I want to start start a charity where I just pluck LGBT people from around the world and bring them to an island. It sounds like a concentration camp, but it's fabulous. No, only there's a tiki bar.

We're great. It's fine. You can do whatever the fuck you want. It's like Fantasy Island. Yeah, we're going to make it way prettier. Everyone's a designer. Oh, it's great. The problem's going to solve itself.

And the New York Times has been digging and they finally got some of Trump's tax returns they got ten years in a row so this is this is pretty important because we've had like one isolated one or a couple isolated ones in the past or partial yeah yeah they got ten years straight and it was the ten years when trump was like basically becoming famous for being

a rich person and being like a very successful business person right so it's the late 80s to into the 90s mid 80s mid 90s got you and uh what they found is basically when he was becoming famous for being one of the richest people in the world, he was actually losing more money than any American. Wait, than any American on paper? Like he has the title? He has the title. In 1990 and 1991, he lost in excess of $250 million, which appears to be, quote, more than double any other individual US taxpayer in an annual irs sampling so he was twice as bad at making money as the second worst business person so it's just yeah he got famous for being the opposite of what he actually is he's like the perfect example of fake it till

you make it right and he hasn't really made it but i'd like uh my mom taught me this when i was younger and being like made fun of before i got popular yay but i listened to her because i listened to her she said honey people believe what you want them to believe if you start acting cool they'll think you're cool right and just you don't you will really just not care what they think and then they'll just start thinking of you and so that literally worked for donald trump like he's just i'm rich i'm rich and everyone's like he's just, I'm rich, I'm rich. And everyone's like, he's rich. I'm like, are we just parents? Like fucking morons.

I don't know. Nobody thinks on their own or thinks to fact check anything these days. But luckily we live in the age of the internet and people are fact checking and we are finding his taxes. So luckily we're seeing the truth. But how many people are going to listen to the truth when it comes election time? Like this guy's terrible with money. Very, very bad. He's terrible with his own money.

Why the fuck are we giving him our taxes? Right. This is awful. Well, yeah, just for him to give it away to other rich people. Exactly. He's helping the wealthy out. Because he's always wanted to be one of them. And he's like, hey, you see what I did?

Right. Maybe y'all think of me as rich now. Maybe not. I know you guys used to laugh at me when I would steal dinner rolls at the dinner. Right. Shit like that. But, I mean, it really does blow up the whole myth about him being a successful business person. I mean, the fact that you would lose what they said over this whole period is like a billion, a billion and a half dollars or something.

Yeah, over a billion dollars. Like 1.1 billion. So, despite that, right, we're looking at these tax returns dead in the fucking eye. The explanation is what? He says he's doing it for sport so he wouldn't have to pay taxes, basically. Okay, so on one hand, you're either admitting,

you're like, yo, bro, I fucked up. I lost a fucking billion and a half dollars. Right. Or you're saying, I defrauded the government so I didn't have to pay taxes. Right.

So what the fuck is it? And was bad at it. I would go with the lost billion dollars thing so I would evade jail time. Right, right, right. I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm terrible, man. Yeah, I'm the worst. Oh, I'm absolute garbage.

I'm going to sit on my gold toilet. Now we are saying that we have this. We can look at it like how does anybody deny this? How do his supporters get their mind around the fact that this person who they've just thought you know was king midas everything he touches turned to gold how do they get their mind around the fact that he is a complete fuck up and bad at the exact thing they gave him credit for being good at we have a clip from fox news yeah here we go they realize he's a billionaire he was campaigning on the trail with his plane behind him that's as big as a delta jet with his name on it it is it's we can't even fathom that kind of money so I'm sure

that they if you have that kind of money you look at tax laws you you buy things to take a loss so that you make more the next year but that's not how most of us think so I think it's interesting to read this article it's interesting to see that he had a 29 million dollar boat or that he had this that's a big boat yeah but I don't think it's going to sway anyone at the polls. It intrigues me more, actually. These figures are from 20 and 30 years ago. I think, you know, when you hear people in Congress say we're trying to get 10 years' worth of his tax returns,

it's the last 10 years to figure out, you know, was there any involvement with anybody, any Russians, anything like that? How did he make his money? Did he pay any taxes that's what a lot of people would wonder about it is an interesting look though at how New York City real estate developers work in the 80s and the 90s anything you read this and you're like wow it's pretty impressive all the things that he's done it is like impressive it's beyond what most of us could ever yeah so I mean people love white. If he was Mexican or Asian, they'd be like, he's a criminal. Oh, man, if he was Asian, they're like, I thought they knew.

They were good at math. I would honestly say the same. I'm half Asian. I'm making that joke. But, hey, what are you going to do? It's pretty impressive was how they chose to make sense of that because he has big planes and big boat. That was one thing that they pointed to.

Well, their opening gambit is, we're so broke that we can't even understand what it means to lose a billion dollars. So that's not really a bad thing because they kept saying like, we'll never know. And then they posited this version where he would lose money this year, presumably so he could then make more money next year.

Sure. But we have 10 years in a row. That's the problem with that theory. We're consistently losing money every year. Every year he's losing more and more money than anybody else in the country. He is bad at this. But then he's going to make more the next year. No, because see, it keeps going down until the early 90s when he had to declare bankruptcy.

I just don't understand how people like that stay afloat. Because if I lose, I don't know, my rent. Right. I don't know. How the hell did he have any place to go? Like, if all of your money is caught up in assets, because he's clearly cash poor, because you're in like a billion dollars worth of debt. You know what I mean?

So it doesn't, I don't understand how that still works for you well i think that's where he's able to either some you know obviously dark financial maneuvering is what's gonna say the thing is these are just the taxes that are reported i like all the embezzlements that have to happen for you to be able to keep everything that you own uh let's really talk about that or also how'd you get out of that billion and a half dollar hole? Right. You know, like where's that revenue from? Yeah, did he? Yeah.

Because The Apprentice wasn't that good. But you know, when you see him like selling, you know, mansions to Russians for like double the value and things like that, you're like, oh, maybe. A very standard money laundering technique. Right. Or if you see like even just, you know, when we look at the Trump Tower Moscow deal, like

that was a thing that would have been the biggest deal he's ever closed in his entire career, his entire life. Right. And you look at someone who has been in the fucking toilet for over probably decades for really being real about it. Then you can begin to see like what the fuck is really going on with this dude? It's a broke, desperate man trying to do whatever he can to stay afloat. You can only imagine what kind of dark shit he wandered into.

Yeah. He has to be genuinely like delusional too. Like I think he believes everything he's saying because he's just going with it. Because I would have had a mental breakdown as a sane person. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

But I guess when you're so used to being wealthy and you have this privilege that keeps you afloat, it's easy to kind of keep gaslighting yourself into being like, nah, nah. Yeah. If you inherited half a billion dollars, then it's easy to lose a billion and be like, yeah, we keep moving. Keep moving. Sport. I did it for sport. I'm broke for sport. Right.

The champion of brokenness. I can live all of that money and his hair still looks like that. I know. I know that's not the subject we're talking about, but you keep doing the voice and I keep seeing the hair. And I'm like, I can get you a great wig guy. Yeah. He does amazing shit. Or just get the proper plugs or some shit rather than your super comb over.

You have the money. I don't understand. Why don't you care about how you look? You're so wealthy, but the wind is my greatest enemy. It is. The wind and rain. Wind and rain. Oof. Right? you care about how you look you're so well i'm so wealthy but the wind is my greatest enemy it is the wind and rain wind and rain right but yeah i mean people are asking like i think the version of the you know hunt for trump's tax returns is the way that it's being portrayed to conservatives is it's just like harassment and trying to embarrass him and it's like no embarrassed like

first of all yes you should be embarrassed because you of all, yes, he should be embarrassed because he's a criminal or really bad. But there's also the fact, the things Miles was talking about. There's all sorts of shady business dealings. There's an entire emoluments clause that's supposed to make it so that the president of the United States doesn't have financial ties to foreign powers. And this one has, there's a lot of smoke saying he does. And it's weird that he won't,

he's the first president ever not to release his tax returns. Like it's, I don't know, man, the double standard is just wild. It's nuts. Yeah. Yeah.

It's like any, again, if you're innocent and you have evidence that fully exonerates you you would be fucking screaming from the mouth yeah look at my fucking tax returns but there's ain't shit in there exactly so just from a logic standpoint to even try and be like oh it's the shame thing they're trying to do and he just doesn't want to go into that i think is absurd especially given now all the things we've seen about the muller report and back to your point that you said about just saying a thing over and over and people are parroting it like for the tax returns is like I'm rich.

But now when we go into the election interference aspect, he just kept saying collusion, collusion, collusion. And he did a very good job because we were pulled into or not. Well, I guess the reporting in the mainstream media just became about did they was there collusion or no collusion? And now with how, you know how Trump has just basically claimed executive privilege over the entire Mueller report, the thing that quote-unquote fully exonerated him, he does not want to share with the public by any means. And I don't see how that to anybody indicates that this person is innocent.

And I don't buy like, oh, they just want to take another stab at it, and it's all bullshit. But again, I think the problem with even talking about the Mueller report and on Wednesday, the Judiciary Committee is like, you know, they're going to find Bill Barr in contempt of Congress. That's fine, but it puts all the focus on Bill Barr,

who's just a patsy in all of this. And we're not actually talking about the bigger thing, not even collusion, is that the president of the United States worked with a foreign adversary to undermine an election. Now, it may not be collusion or whatever, but even in the Mueller report, there's no criminal conspiracy, but repeatedly in the Mueller report says that they knew that they would benefit directly from this interference and still did nothing because they knew it would help them right if that on its face isn't like yo why isn't that the issue because you can actually

like you can point to that evidence you don't have to talk about a criminal conspiracy you can say you knew this was going on you didn't say anything are you like this you're running to be the president of the united states and then we see all this other shit like he's on 90 minute phone calls with putin and not warning him about interfering in this election. You just know it's like that on its face should just stink to everybody. Right. This is the power of celebrity.

It's really dangerous. Yeah. The fame monster for a reason. Like it is a monster. Like people are so obsessed with the power of celebrity and they love having a celebrity president because they want something to watch. Yeah.

And they know it's always going to be dramatic. People are addicted to the fucking drama and it's killing them because all these broke people are the ones voting for him and he's not looking out for their best interests. And the thing that really concerns me about him having the tax returns out are, is this going to make him eligible on the ballot in Jersey where he was kind of voted off? He could not legally be on the ballot in Jersey. They put a bill in the pass or something. And because they said unless he shows his tax returns, he cannot appear on the 2020

ballot. And they were about to do that too in California. And so now I'm like, shit. So is he on the ballot now? Like, just because we saw it. But he still was working with Russians. Well, I think it's because they want to see the version of the years that they believe are relevant. Because this is like a journalistic report.

I want to see all of them. Yeah. And now you have like Steve Mnuchin, who was at the Secretary of Treasury saying, oh, I can't show you those. It's like, that's not even your call. Right. So at every level, we have people trying to defend this president. But again, putting the emphasis on these other people, I think is a little bit, it's misguided because at the heart of it, you have the person who's sitting in the Oval Office is someone who had worked against the principles of this, you know, supposedly

representative democracy we have. Everyone, everyone around you is getting criminally indicted. Like they're all going to jail. They're all getting like getting fined, time, everything. Like they're all going to jail. They're all getting like getting fine time, everything. There is a heart around this, like in the center of this body of people. So like, can we cut the shit? Like cut the shit and get the heart out. It doesn't make any sense.

It's all basic shit. Watch CSI. Right. Like this is basic. Man, we need Horatio. Yeah. In here. We just need fucking, what was my man's name? Doing his crossword puzzles.

What was his thing? Was he good at, he did the New York Times crossword puzzle or something? No, what did Horatio, what's Horatio's thing? I'm just talking about. Oh, Horatio's the sunglasses. Yeah, sunglasses. Horatio.

David Crusoe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. David Crusoe's career. He was great in King of New York. Sorry. No, I mean. He had that moment when he was like, fuck you, NYPD blue. I'm going to be a movie star.

Right. For two seconds. Took his sunglasses off. And I'm in jade. And could I come back on? Sorry. All right. Let's talk about Zillow real quick.

Yeah. You love Zillow? Yeah, I get their email updates every day. At various points in my life, I've been addicted to Zillow. I get their email updates every day. At various points in my life, I've been addicted to Zillow. Zillow is very interesting to just track every house's value around you. But it turns out they're doing some things that suggest they have their eyes on a bigger prize. Yeah, because right now we have so many apps.

It's all about ease. Book a vacation within five minutes, all from your phone. Right. Best price guaranteed. Buy or sell a car in 20 minutes. You know, get a home loan in eight seconds. You know, shit like that. And slowly we've made these processes much easier, which is great on some level.

But, you know, there are companies like Opendoor, which want to make your house, like make the process of selling your house very easy. Where it's like, put your shit on our app. We can try and get you an offer within four days or whatever. Cut the real estate agents out or whatever. Just do it through us, blah, blah, blah. But they're looking at the more of the sale end of the transaction. And Zillow is looking more now at the purchasing side of the transaction, which because before they have like, in the app, I know you can try and get like a home loan and things like that. But they acquired last year Mortgage Lenders of America. So now they are going to begin also being the people who are financing the purchase of homes on their app. Now, dangerous. Now, while it all seems easy, right? Like there's there's something

about like the process of buying a home that's very laborious and makes people really think about it. It shouldn't be that easy. Buying a home is the most significant investment a person is going to make in their life. Unless you're Donald Trump and you're so rich you can buy so many properties. But let's be real. And lose them. And even now, we're living in an age where people's wages are stagnant and the home prices are rising. And that sort of disparity has allowed for a lot

of corporate landlording. A lot of banks have come in. In Charlotte, North Carolina, it's really bad. There's a lot of banks that own homes. They're just renting them out. They're gentrifying these areas and it's pushing people who don't have the incomes into areas that are making it even harder for them to find work. And it just exacerbates a general problem we have with housing. So that's why a lot of people are kind of looking at Zillow and like, oh, are they going to begin sort of getting in this world? I'm not comfortable with that. Yeah. I think that's why, you know, just in general, I think Zillow aside, when we look at sort of this new trend after the recession of like banks and investment firms coming in to buy

private properties, renting them, jacking the rents up and keeping people out of houses. That's a huge issue to really kind of keep our eyes on. And also when you think about anyone who's a first time home buyer, let's say you want to put a bid in on a house and there's a bank that comes in that has cash on hand and they can actually give up and put something more than you can, you're going to lose to the bank every fucking time. Right. So this is something to keep an eye on how this sort of market is evolving, too, to begin like saying like, oh, these kinds of things, while they seem like they're easier or while it seems like, oh, well, the bank's coming in and buying these distressed houses

and making them nicer and making the neighborhoods nicer. There's also a very, very significant impact on homeownership and the housing crisis. Right. Homeownership is a big way that America built its middle class, basically, and then have kept people out of the middle class with redlining also. But the fact that after the financial crash, which was a lot, the real estate market was heavily involved, that the only people who got bailed out were the banks and they started buying up all the real estate it's it's taking a like that is hurting the middle class as much as fucking anything that conservatives point to and yeah man it's scary and then and then when you tie

in the whole everything being consolidated because ease of use on your phone like the same way that like facebook it's for some reason like the same way that like Facebook, it's for some reason, like these companies that can reach us through our phones have a way of just consolidating everything, just like breaking it down into like very, you know, taking all the small pieces and just like owning it all. So yeah, Zillow, just we need to keep an eye on them, I guess.

Absolutely. I mean, really, Zillow aside, you know, we got to fucking get the wages right in this country. Yeah, man. And address just, you know, the predatory banking and all that other shit.

But, you know, I guess we'll just complain about other shit for the time being. No, it's weird. I think it's just so weird to be like, like I live on a pretty developed street. I live in Mid-City and it's like they're building it up a lot. And I live in one of like new apartments, but like there are so many empty fucking apartments.

Right. Like so many, there's empty townhouses the next block over, like all like super new, super amazing. But like, it's just so weird to see like homeless people walk by still. And I'm like, the housing prices are so high. It just doesn't make any sense. My rent is ridiculously high. Right.

And it's to the point, too, where even people that could afford it are even like, what the fuck? Who the fuck do you think you're going to rent this to? Literally, like, what the fuck? It was really hard for me to even get in an apartment because it's so competitive, even just in the rental market. Because it's just me. I want to live by myself. So when I was going up against couples, I could make just as much as they do.

I could make just as much as they do as two people, but they'd rather have two people on the lease with two incomes. And so I was getting outbid by all these people, and I was like, this is bullshit. Like, this is absolute bullshit. Because I gave you everything you asked for, and, like, I've got the money, and then you still can't live anywhere.

You're like, what the fuck? Right. So it's already competitive enough. And so when I look at like the amount of homelessness and like my friends who all have roommates but make like $100,000 a year, I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah. It's very what the fuck. Well, I mean, because we still we don't treat housing as like a right or homeownership is like not that it has to be like an inalienable right. But it needs to be something that anyone has access to. And I think it's now just looked as an

investment opportunity. And you have people who buy houses who have no fucking care for the community that they're buying the home. And they're just like, Hey, I could buy up this block and just begin making a lot of money rather than looking at the neighborhood with the impact I'm having on the people that live there. And so, yeah, I mean, I think that's just sort of, this is all just part of late stage capitalism as we get into it. And it'll only get worse. Right.

Yeah. Eat the rich. Yeah. Eventually, yeah. Somebody had a tweet. It can't last forever. Aki, A-K-K-I tweeted, Price of loaf of bread, 1977, 32 cents, 2019, $1.96. Median income, age 25 to 35, 1977, 34,000, 2019, 34,000.

So our wages aren't growing, but the cost of living is growing. Wait, that was even adjusted for inflation? That's scary as fuck. Yeah, yeah. That's adjusted for inflation. That's scary as fuck. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense. Everyone should be terrified.

Well, and that's why people need to take candidates seriously that are actually making this part of their platform. You know, not just the Joe Bidens of the world who are like, hey, remember Obama? Like, that's not enough, bro, because Obama wages were still fucking stagnant, my man. Right, yeah. I saw everyone tweeting about that level of words you used

based on how angry you are when you say my man. You've had it. My man. Yeah, but, you know, like, angry you are when you say my man you've had it yeah but you know like that's why when you look at like the policies of elizabeth warren or bernie sanders like they're they understand the existential threat there is to just regular people and that is something that really needs to be taken seriously because i don't think everybody like people want to be able to own homes establish wealth wealth, so their families can thrive. Not for fucking bankers. My man.

My good man. Exactly. All right, we're going to take one more break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros,

Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Rachel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically Black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark

versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros,

Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we just wanted to take a moment to check in with one-time fed nominee Stephen Moore because he is telling the right what happened to him basically yeah I mean look we all know that the our podcast was the one to ultimately sway him to pull his nomination out of the running right or that's what I tell myself as long while I wear my Sean John Velour outfit and look into the mirror with my headband on. But, you know, now he's doing his tour of conservative radio and TV to really get, you know, his side.

You know, not the actual story about how we just saw all this misogynistic bullshit coming out after decades of cracking racist jokes and things like that and making him a wholly unfit candidate to be on the Fed board. Not to mention that he had, like, wacky ideas about going back to the gold standard was a self admittedly was like, I'm not really an economist. And you're like, okay,

bro, that, that should be it. Why the fuck are you here then? But the truth is, and as we all know, like whenever conservatives have to explain their racism or sexism or whatever ism it is and accountable,

they always go, Oh, you know, this is just the left attacking you. You know what I mean? This is, this is and held accountable they always go oh you know this is just the left attacking you you know i mean this is this is all bullshit they're just trying to attack my character it's all character assassination the way they held these receipts up in the sunlight yes it's character assassination so listen to him so he went on the great sebastian gorka remember that wicked piece of shit his radio show uh to really get his take out real

quick on you know what what the real what really went down with all this shit so you said politics of personal destruction and our side needs to be prepared for this we need to gear up for this these are you know that we used to always have this debate are liberals just stupid or are they evil and i don't know after this i think they're stupid and evil yeah they can be both at the same time and at the end of the day steven it doesn't really matter because the end result is the same. They wish to destroy people for political purposes and they refuse. They refuse, as you have pointed out, whether it's in your field of economics, whether it was my national security, they refuse to debate the

policies. No, we don't have to get to the policies because we're going to the character of the person first. It's irrelevant if your character is fucked. You have no place being in a position of power influence if you have fucked moral character. You're just an unscrupulous fucker. And you're not looking out for everyone's best interest, which you have to rule over everyone. Yeah, versus like, hey. Yeah, you're not looking out for everyone's best interest, which you have to rule over everyone. Yeah, versus like, hey. Yeah, you're unqualified. Versus talking about, oh, I wrote some joke columns about, like, what are women doing in basketball?

Right. That was a joke, guys. Come on. Well, they're taller than you, so. Yeah, right. Give them that. So then he went on, actually went on MSNBC talking to Ali Velshi. And Ali Velshi was, like, trying to explain to him, like, yeah, look, I get what you're saying.

He's like, but there's a problem when you're talking like that and you're seeking a position of power. Right. You're supposed to be representing a lot of people. But Stephen Moore. Some of them, even women. Right. That play basketball. Right.

And he's like, look, bro, you made some fucking dumb ass racist jokes. But we'll just call that racism. Right. Don't have to soften it by saying racist joke. Right. Just racism. Yeah, just racism. And also really deeply misogynistic, problematic shit.

And then again, Stephen Moore, baby, coming up with a real good solution to maybe something that would have kept him in the running. The point is people need to be convinced that somebody on the Federal Reserve Board doesn't have a view of women as not full participants in society. And I'll simply say that, you know, those were humor columns. Maybe they weren't funny. Some of them were funny. Some of them weren't. And, you know, I apologize for it.

I don't I think there should be a statute of limitations on saying stupid things, as I did, you know, in these. And by the way, some of those weren't Christmas letters that we sent out to our friends and family that were just meant to be humorous. And again, I can't change what I said 20 years ago, but I think most women who know me, almost all of them will say that I am not a sexist. Almost all of them. Almost all of them. Uh-oh.

Who's that outlier group? What happened in your interactions with them? That's so revealing. Yeah. Almost all of them would That's so revealing. Yeah. Almost all of them would say I'm not sexy. You know he's thinking of the people who are like, I'm sorry, Mr. Moore, this is just aggressively sexist. Right.

And I don't stand for it. He's like, oh, come on, tuts. It was a humor column. Don't make me grab you by the pussy. Yeah. Right. Come on. I snapped your bra a few times.

And then I was like, I made a comment about what do you need a bra for? Because you're flat chested. Anyway. That's comedy. I'm doing it for the lols. Right. You know, like. You know that is his sense of humor.

No, no, it totally is. And again, just there should be a statute of limitations for calling me out on my dumb shit. Come on, bro. Let's just have like women rule things for a while. Yeah. I think guys have had their go. Sorry.. Come on, bro. Let's just have like women rule things for a while. Yeah. I think guys have had their go.

Sorry. Hey, look. It's been a good run of every time. Like of every time in history. Just anything. Just fucking people. Like human beings. Where are the human beings?

I'm ready for the next plague. Oh, wow. Yeah, I'm ready. Okay. It could take me out, but at least there was some good that came of it. I do think about that, though, just because of my millennial nihilism. I'm always like, will I see the end of the world? Right. Like, am I going to witness that shit with my naked eye?

Like, oh, here it comes. I hope I have a drink. I just hope I have a drink. Like, oh, my God. The truest injustice would be like the last sip is gone and you look and you're like, oh, fuck. I'd be pissed. Thanos snap. Exactly.

I don't feel so good. I don't feel so good. Well, let's talk about some scams, guys. Specifically, a Argentine man who is selling his service online pretending to be a sorcerer that could cast a spell to bring you the partner of your dreams. He would then take desperate and lovelorn people, have them tape themselves doing a magical ritual involving alcohol, candles, vegetables, and then graphic recitations and sex acts being performed on the tape.

And then the second half is, send me that tape. Send it to the sorcerer. And then I will, now I see your half of the ritual, I will do my half of the ritual and extort you. Yes. Is essentially what would happen. Honestly, anyone who believes this, you had it coming. I know.

I'm sorry. I know, that's why part of it is like, damn, like really taking advantage of these desperate people. Because look. I don't even send nudes to guys I'm fucking. You could leak these. I'm like, no. Twitter exists.

I'll pass. I'll pass. And apparently like because I think the Southern District of California's like federal prosecutor's office was like, yo, get this man over here. Because it was happening to like United States citizens. So he's now like in san diego jail answering for his extortionate scheme but it's just like it was over 200 victims in 12 countries like over what over what time like frame over a few years like maybe five years come on

guys and it started off just kind of being like just sort of like getting this stuff and being like, all right, give me 20 bucks or, you know, give me 100 bucks. And just doing that over and over. And then realized that some people were like of sort of higher repute. So those people, like, then he went for the gusto and said, you know, send me $250,000. Wow. Or I will release all of this shit out there to Facebook, YouTube. I'll tag it everywhere. You will not be able to get this shit down.

You had to see this coming, guys. Yeah. Age of information. Your information is getting out there if you put it out there. I mean, it's just one of the, yeah. Oh, and then saying like, oh, I'll put it on like the porn sites or just everything. Just a full court press tabloid. So it was just a, you know.

That created a whole new fetish. Right. Ritual porn. Yeah. Weeping people doing weird ritual sex acts. I want love. Yeah. But it's just one of those things, man,

like sending a tape like that on its surface. Absolutely fucking not. But that's where then I'm like, then I think of the people who they are so focused on that that I'm like, damn, that sucks. Unrequited love is a temporary but very serious mental illness. You've got to start loving yourself, people. I love myself four times a day.

No, I'm just kidding. That's a lot. I'm just kidding. That's a lot. No. But you've got to start loving yourself. Everyone needs to start looking inward at what they think they're missing because you're not going to help in a relationship.

You're going to be needy as fuck and you're not a whole person on your own. Yeah, exactly. So you shouldn't be with someone else. I don't know. No shade. Sorry, guys. No, but just, you know. You didn't deserve to be extorted.

Find that validation inside first. Yeah. Because if you're looking for it outside, you will never have it. And you will get extorted out of Argentina. At the very least. Yeah. By the dumbest extortion scam.

Your true power is within. So when you let it exist outside of you you have no true power. Exactly. So first rearrange the way you're looking at yourself your energy

and realize that truth sprouts from inward. If you're looking for external validation you will never have truth because it will always be based on some flawed individual's idea of who you are.

Exactly. And when you love yourself, someone will come and rearrange them guts. The end. The period. Reese, it's been a pleasure having you. Where can people find you? Oh my god, find me at aristocrat on all platforms. That's where I'll be getting a lot of my One Direction hate mail.

And I don't care. I'm too old. I think our audience is too cool. I can lot of my One Direction hate mail. And I don't care. I'm too old. I think our audience is too cool. I can't imagine many One Direction stans being like, I can't believe what I heard on this. I would be in shock. I'll be interested to see. Right. At Aristocrat on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, whatever.

Everywhere. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh, I love Stormy Daniels. She said, someone said whore. She said, I'm not a whore. I have a friendly vagina. Oh, look, you better work, bitch.

That's a comeback I've ever seen. I love Stormy. Miles, where can people find you? Find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey. A tweet I like is from Reductress. Yet again, this one is

quiz. Which Game of Thrones character would you fuck even if they were your sibling? Yuck! Reductress, bitch. Someone's at work writing this. Geniuses. Genii.

Someone has a bachelor's to write that. Yeah. A couple tweets I liked. Warrior Cop at Wyatt Privilege tweeted, Once Game of Thrones ends, we're switching the deathbedding pools over to travel Instagram people. And then he posted a couple pictures of these people doing daredevil shit on Instagram. Have you seen that trend? No.

Like this shit? They're like leaning out the window of a moving train. That's called trying to get a fucking Darwin award. Yeah. My thing is like, I lack empathy for this. Right. I don't feel sorry for you when you talk about your tragic death from trying to take a selfie. Yeah.

Fucking moron. There's another one. No. Like on the side of a... Is she hanging off a cliff? Yes. I've never loved someone that much. I don't love myself enough.

But they don't even love each other that much. That's just them. Oh, wow. Trying to be the... Do the, like, romantic... The most romantic... Jack, we don't know if they don't love each other. I do.

I'll just take a picture of having unsafe sex with a stranger. There you go. Like, look how risky this is. Look at me. I'm living on the fucking edge. Right? I'm letting him finish. What? And then
