It worked. But we don't have time for it. Don't call out the workshop being mid-workshop. No bad ideas in this workshop. No. We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our favorite guests, some podcast producer, Beauty Influencer who hosted the wonderful Beauty Translated podcast that celebrated the trans experience and had a lot of fun.

Along the way, our favorite trad wife guest, please welcome Carmen Laran. Carmen! I am the owner of the world's one and only spaceship ready Laboum. Yeah, airtight. Is that a vacuum in there? Surely is. Yeah, it is.

I did ask before we started recording just for those who obviously can't see my beautiful spacesuit Labooboo. I asked if there had been anybody on the pod yet that brought a Labooboo and unfortunately I wasn't first. But I am the first to have my Labooboo in a spacesuit. Yes, and you will be the last because we will ban Labooboo in a space suit. Yes, and you will be the last because we will ban Labooboos after this. That is it. I think it's better to be the last than the first. I like that.

Okay. They freaked me out. Again, I do that for everyone's sort of the safety of our souls when we cross over. Hopefully we are in paradise and not hell. Carmen, this is a Christian podcast. Yeah. Labooboos are the devil. Hopefully we are in paradise and not. Carmen, this is a Christian podcast. Yeah. And we...

The booboos are the devil. Have you heard of the boo-boo? Demon Pazuzu? Yeah. I mean, have you seen the similarities between... Don't do it. ...what a booboo looks like and what Pazuzu looks like in the drawing that AI created two weeks ago on the internet?

Because it's identical. Dead Ringer. It was actually a selling point for it's identical. Dead ringer. It's identical. Dead ringer. It was actually a selling point for me. Yeah. Oh, no. But for listeners who can't see, Carmen does have a Labooboo. This is a transgender Labooboo, by the way.

The colors, I was like, yeah, very trans flag. Is it explicitly or is the Labooboo, are they fucking with the culture like that or no? They're not. But this is, OK, let me get let me get my little boo boo hat over here. This is the big into energy series, and this is specifically the lucky. So each each little. Yeah. Yeah, it's a different energy, different vibe.

And this one is lucky. And this is the one I wanted. And it was the first one I ever got. I got it on my birthday trip in L.A. My boyfriend got it for me. Thank you, Alan. It's Alan's birthday tomorrow. Love you, babe. Happy birthday, Alan. And Another Leo, big Leo energy. Yes, big Leo energy. We love to see it. They take care of their women's get you a Leo. Okay. And

Are you a Gemini by the way? Yes. Are you way? Yes. Are you really? Yes, how'd you know? She is my wife is a Gemini also. And we, Gemini, Leo, great mixture, great combo. I spit, okay, this is gonna sound so crazy. We're not even talking about the little boo boo anymore.

But when we've been together 10 years this year, and I specifically found him because I was like, I'm tired of fucking around. I am finding my ass a Leo. And so I put on OkCupid, I put the filter on and I said, Leo's only. And I was just shopping around for Leos and there he was. Damn. I was about to chalk one up for the Z zodiac, but you kind of forced the hand there. I'm sorry, but like... Yeah, you knew.

I knew Leo. The zodiac won. It works out. I need a Leo! Yes! Anyway, I believe in the zodiac in any way except for Leo's engeminis. Really, really worked out really well for some reason. Amazing.

Yeah, so it is a Labubu shaped like body. TVC. Like a. Yes. Yeah. Like King Tut's tomb. Like, you know how it's like kind of shaped just like maybe an inch out from King Tut on all sides.

Like that's kind of what we're getting. But because it's translucent, you could watch King Tut's body rot in real time. Which would be so dope. Think about archaeologists in like thousands of years. They could just look. They're like, oh, bro, he looks like a mess in there. Do not pop the lid on this sarcophagus.

Please. I do feel like that would have fucked up the mystique a little bit. Because he has that golden shape thing that looks so incredible. They're like, oh, his jaw just fell off. Yo, his cheek is falling off. No, this is not my god. Looks like he's made of fucking beef jerky right now. Anyways, how are you feeling?

Like, is the Labubu wave cresting for you? Is it just getting started? Yes, honestly, I, okay, it has gotten to the point where I am getting Labubus without even trying now. I have a Kinect, okay, I got a plug. I have a Labubu plug, let's just put it that way. So it is like drugs now, yeah. It literally is.

Anything that can be sold for more money than you bought it is. Well, she's not actually she's a she's a good she's a friend. She's actually selling it to me for what she's buying it for. What I mean, though, is you could go and then flip that for more. Then I'm saying when we get into that resale world, it just it. The drug game, it's the drug game. It's absolutely got a plug. You've got Custy's. It's the drug game. It's got a plug. You got custies.

You got maybe some anyway. So you have a blood. I don't want the Lefoufou. No, right. I know exactly. Yeah. So I'm baking soda. I don't want no.

I don't want no fatty in my LeBouBou. No, no. By the way, do test your LeBouBou. Test your LeBouBou before you go out and party. Yeah. Before you take it out of the box. And please carry Narcan on you. Psych guys' official message to the listeners. Save a life.

It's happening. It's all happening. Carmen, we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. There's a certain Christian nationalist Oklahoman who he's a school superintendent, I guess.

Yeah, a whole entire school system. Is he's a school superintendent, I guess. Yeah, I've built an entire school system. Is he the state school superintendent? I've had my eye on this guy for a little bit. I've always been like, there's something off here. I'm made right with this Christian nationalist. Christian nationalist state school superintendent, Ryan Walters. His just, and this is gonna surprise you,

but the vibes are a little off with this one have been for a while. So he's been riding high on just being like the most self-righteous person in the history of the world. Maybe one of them. Yeah. He's out there. Anyways, he got caught with something on his TV that he shouldn't have had on his TV during a meeting Was it a zoom meeting? I have to assume no no no in person in person No, he wasn't doing the jeffrey tubing like getting off while the like on off camera on zoom He had he wasn't getting off, but he had people in his office The tv just has some shit on there. So we're gonna talk about about that. We're going to talk about the Democrats, unfortunately. We're going to talk about Elon Musk diner.

Diner is pretty straightforward. It's pretty hard to fuck up a diner and yet. And yet. And yet. And yet Elon. Tesla diner. Elon has found a way to fucking put another blemish on LA right now. And we'll talk about Ocelots and Possums.

All that. Plenty more. But first, Carmen, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay. I'm worried that this has already been talked about. Has this been talked about already on the podcast? Sister Hong, Uncle Red, have we talked about this? Okay, well, let me break it down for you, okay? So I have, and this does say a lot about me because my search history, having a cross-dresser in it

is very highly likely. If you listen to Diva Down, I just had an episode yesterday actually with Janey Danger and we talk about Sister Hong on the podcast. She's my current obsession. This is a man in China from Nanjing, China who was posting basically, like, I don't know where, like what apps posting for sex, basically selling sex, cross-dressing, as a woman unbeknownst to the men that were coming to her for sex.

And she was also secretly, all of that's fine. All of that, no problem there. But she was secretly filming every single one of these encounters. Oh, shit. Little Epstein situation. It is literally an Epstein situation and she just compiled, I don't know what, she just like uploaded an entire drive, a database of like 16, over 1600 men that she has lured into her. And I'm saying she obviously just for the sake of-

The character that she was playing. Yes, the character that she was playing. Yes, the character that she was playing. And so she really turns out to be a 38-year-old man who, I think is just doing it a little bit for like, Janie and I couldn't really, we really are trying to figure it out. Like, I think it's just for the love of the game, you know? Like, I think she just likes, I think she gets off on multiple layers of it. So I always find that kind of stuff very fascinating.

And so whenever anything cross-dresser happens in the news, I get about like 10 people sending me links like, did you hear about this? And nobody fucking told me about this. I had to find this on my own and I'm disappointed in my friends. I need to always do better. This is like, according to the Wikipedia,

this is popped off at the beginning of July of this year. So it's not ongoing. Yeah, this is, oh yeah. And he is in custody. He's in like police custody now. Yeah, he was arrested for, was he trying to blackmail them? Is that, yeah. Okay.

I think essentially yes, was trying to blackmail them, but it wasn't really, I mean, at the time, like, wasn't, they weren't paying for sex with money. They were paying for sex with items. Yeah. I agree. Like with items such as peanut oil, fruit, milk, or small appliances. Uh, yeah. And then once it, like a watermelon, like just like random things. Yeah. So very, very fascinating. I just love that kind of stuff. You know, I think the last time I was on here, I talked about Julie masking, you know, just.

You're a trendsetter. I would safely say anything in your search history. You'll be like, I don't know, has anyone talked about this? What? I'm sure somebody's talked about this ongoing investigation in China. Y'all are just heading to the news. Y'all are talking to the zeitgeist. Okay. But I was,

okay, Janie and I went down the rabbit hole, y'all because we did cross some ethical boundaries and we did watch one of the videos in its entirety. Maybe, I don't know. But you didn't like it. Maybe you were just doing it for journalistic purposes. We nodded our heads the whole time and we were like, this is bad. But she is pulling trade.

She was pulling trade. Okay, these men were fucking hot. Okay, if I do say so. Oh, OK. And what did her pictures look like? Was she also serving fish? No, she was serving. OK, we don't have to go there. It was very old maiden, old maiden type of wig, old maiden type of boots. It was very style was off.

OK, it was. It's a long Oh, so the style was off. Okay. It's a long wig, maybe 22 inches with bangs. The bangs cover the brows and then us, a surgical mask, like a blue surgical mask. Interesting. Then, a sweater, a long maxi skirt, and she would just get her freak on and pull her skirt up and just right up on it. Okay. Throw it back.

Yeah. Yes. How were the watermelons involved in those? That's paper. Yeah. Those were an offering. Oh. A token of gratitude. I thought they were somehow involved in the sexual Congress.

No, no, I think... Was that like a loophole for her? She's like, well, are you transacting for money? Maybe so. Or maybe she's like, yo, I need peanut oil, so you know what, come through. Right, right. I'm gonna hook it up. I want some.

Didn't want to go out to the store that day. Yeah. Hell yeah. What is something you think is underrated? I'm doing this thing recently where I am staying a little uninformed. And I know that it's controversial because I am on a news podcast

where I'm about to be informed about what the fuck is going on in the world. This is, I feel like something that people talk about on this podcast a lot actually. But there's a lot of shame around, like, not keeping up with the news, I think. And it's not necessarily... I think I project it onto myself. You know, like, I'm ashamed, like, oh, I should know what's happening in the world. But I think I've gotten to a point where, like, I actually understand what's happening entirely and I don't need any further updates, uh, unless it's like something. And if it is really bad, it'll get to me.

You know what I mean? You're sort of doing the thing where like it got to a point where like we're cooked, right? Okay. We're good. I mean, if we're cooked, what the fuck do I need? What else can I learn? We, it's official.

We're cooked. I've done that with my favorite basketball team the Philadelphia 76ers when they're getting beat by 30 and Like so I turned the game off and I know someone's gonna text me if like anything happens. Yeah The other direction or if one of the players like legs fall off, like I'm going to get 20 texts all at once. So like, I don't actually need to. And in fact, I did that for the whole season last year. I don't have to watch any of this shit. Yeah. This season of America is bad.

Yes. Yeah. Let me know if it changes better. Good. I don't know. I don't know. I know it's going to get worse. So, but if it gets really fucked up, let me know.

No, I mean, I totally get that. That's where I hope maybe for people who listen to this show, this is like a slight service we can offer to people. It's like, listen to it. We'll say some shit that's going on. We'll laugh a little bit, but also we get that. We'll let you know, too. When shit's really bad, we try to.

But I get it. It is exhausting and having to look at like the microscopic granular degradation of society every day is, is, it might not be healthy, but it is good to know have situational awareness. Also having an upholding shareholder value every day, you know, like, you know, and I'm not, you know, obviously I work here, but I just mean in general, we're all just kind of like, we're all just working and everything is... That is what we, when we enter the dock every morning,

we say a little prayer about shareholder value for a new heart. We say, uh, just let whatever guide our hands so that we can make line go up. Right. Our father who art in Wall Street, that would be that name. But I think to an extent, like I think what's more important than anything

is just to focus on what's going on around you in your neck of the woods, you know, in your neighborhood. What's happening in your community and stuff like that. Yeah. I mean, that's a powerful antidote. I always say that when people get really into the doom scroll, it's like, look, I know you're seeing shit from around the world that is happening right now, but go outside into your community and think about what's happening there.

Because it's we have varying degrees of fucked up, but you will feel much more empowered if you can do these things that are in your immediate physical space too. Not to say that you ignore everything else, but you'll feel better, you know, if anything. Did Janie tell y'all how much money she raised for Palestine relief? No, I don't think so. Yeah, I don't remember when she was on here last, but 4th of July, I, had a party. She raised like $4,000 something dollars for Palestine, really. That's awesome. And we love you, Janie.

So, yeah. But that was, she had hot dogs and beer and whatnot. The woke beer, of course. Yes, of course. What is something you think's overrated? I didn't think about this, you know. I'm like, let me look around and find three things in the room really quick.

Don't say Alan's headphones. Alan playing video games over there clicky clackin. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah. In the zone. He's playing, what are you playing? Oh, he's playing, what are you playing right now? Sturdy Valley.

Oh. Sturdy Valley, you know what? I'm going to say it. It's overrated at this time. Oh, wow. Okay. Straight for the regular. Sturdy Valley, you know what? I'm gonna say it. It's overrated at this time. Wow, okay. Straight for the regular. It has had its moment.

You know, it had its time. It had its moment. And I think- When did that come out like 10 years ago or something? Yeah, it's actually a really good game. And every time I see him playing it, every time I see him playing it, I'm just like, I gotta fit into the overrated category somehow, you know? Every time I see him playing it, I'm just like, I got to fit into the overrated category somehow.

Every time I see him playing it, I'm like, damn, they added a bunch of new shit to this game. The guy keeps saying, he keeps coming out of retirement. He's like, okay, I'm done updating it. And then he's like, actually, here's another fucking update, y'all. Are we talking about Eric Concerned Ape Barone? That would be the one.

As I just looked on the Wikipedia. That would be the one, Concerned Ape. Local Concerned Ape, Eric. Yes. He's like a single, he just like does it all on his own. And he keeps like being like, yeah, I'm going to move on to other projects. But I think Stardew Valley is just for a lot of people right now. It is a happy place. And I, you know what, Alan?

We need them. Have your happy place. I love you, babe. 41 million. 41 million copies sold as of December 2024. Yeah, it's like if you need an escape and you haven't already heard about Stardew Valley, here you go. You've heard about it now.

I can't, if you haven't, I'm surprised, but you know, it is overrated. Other escapes are overrated. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. The stuff you should know guys have made their own summer playlist of their must-listen podcasts on movies.

saying you have to read this, this podcast is for you. Listen to Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. From iHeart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the turning river road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor.

But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey. And then he became the pry. Listen to The Turning River Road on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The Extravision podcast is your home for reactions, recaps and roundtable debates on the biggest pop culture moments of the summer. We drop four episodes a week and every Friday we're popping out the popcorn and breaking

down that weekend's big box office draws, including Superman and Sinners. Rosie Sinners, what an incredible cinema experience. I went in and I was expecting Coogler, I was expecting horror. What I didn't expect, there was just this unbelievable, sprawling cinematography. This is a movie that gets better

the more you think about it. From Star Wars to Fantastic Four, we're covering all the biggest movies, shows and stories in fandom, including interviews with none other than Superman and Lois Lane themselves, David Coren Swear and Rachel Brosnahan. We haven't seen the film yet.

We haven't seen it. We're waiting to see it at the premiere because we want that full experience with the crowd at the premiere in we want that full experience with the crowd at the premiere in LA. Me and Nick and David are going to hold hands and squeeze each other's little fingers when exciting things happen on screen. Listen to X-Ray Vision on America's number one podcast network, iHeart.

Follow X-Ray Vision and start listening on the free iHeart radio app today. And we're back. We're back. And yeah, so I just wanted to check in with Ryan Walters. School superintendent went hard, was like, I don't give a fuck about anybody who doesn't want children to learn only words that are in the Bible. Exactly. If it's not in the Bible is not a word. Okay. There's no such thing as 76ers because it's not in the Bible or Lakers or NBA or basketball. That's right. There is only

slavery. What about computer? Computer? No. Well, I mean, he's kind of into computers. LeBouh, the Bible. But yeah, he's the guy, like, I think over the last year, we've seen a lot of headlines come out of, like, especially the Oklahoma school district, the state school system of things like Trump Bibles in every classroom. Yeah, that's him. Daily prayers to Jesus as part of the curriculum. Yeah, that's him. He even, like, part of the curriculum? Yeah, that's him.

He even like launched a, or was claiming he's about to launch, and I believe he has launched a Hans Londa-esque campaign to hunt and exterminate woke teachers who allow gay in their classrooms type shit. So- Yeah, he's doing like a test that teachers have. I saw something about a test that teachers have to take. He's basically trying to do the fantasy checklist of any Christian nationalist who's like,

it can only be Jesus and it can only be his head. And if you have any kind of other feelings, you shove them down and you go do that in your office when no one's looking. And he was riding high on his righteousness. Again, until an executive session with volunteer board members last month. I'm just gonna play the news clip because I don't wanna, I just want,

I just, it's funnier to hear the local news, this controversy kick off and we'll talk about what happened. I love the local news, yeah. The investigation process is now getting underway following bombshell allegations against State Superintendent Ryan Walters. Two State school board members insist they saw images of naked women on a TV in Walters' office. The same man who for years has claimed school libraries are full of books containing porn and vowed to remove them. Porn?

I like that she kept it a buck though. She's like the guy who claims porn everywhere. The degree to which everybody in Oklahoma hates this motherfucker. So evident. Both of these people just come in and be like bombshell. I'm a loser. So ready for this. Yeah, to be specific, after reading numerous news reports about this,

the video that was playing seemed to be of the medical examination variety of porn, like that specific kink where like horny adults play doctor on a new cam table. Is he a doctor? No, no, no, no. He's there to oversee the educational instruction of Oklahoma's children. Oh, Lord. Does that include medical school? No, probably not medical school.

Well, look, you know, he's not smart enough to try and pivot and act like that was some like legit shit he was looking at his defense. Naturally was this is fake news. It's a politically motivated attack against me. Quote, any suggestion that a device of mine was used to stream inappropriate content on the television set is categorically false. I have no knowledge of what was on the TV screen during the alleged incident. And there was absolutely no truth to any implication of wrongdoing.

But my, my first thought in this is like, this happens on at. Like I, this has happened at a target that I was at where like kids will like stream some wild shit. Yeah, yeah, like on the TV screen or on like stereo or something like that. I just like start playing like really fucked up music like really loud and the thing and like you can't stop it. That's the thing. That's all he had to do was be like somebody came through and like, damn kids watching the damn kids. But instead he's his excuses. Like I, I don't have.

And there was nothing on the TV. There was nothing imagined it. Someone came on and casted Japanese Noodle Noodle oil massage videos on there. I'm just guessing that's I think that's what it's called. I don't know. I'm just guessing that's, I think that's what it's called. I don't know. I'm just that I divined that. My staff has looked into it and they are indeed called Japanese Noodle Noodle Oil Massage Videos.

So, um, the, sadly the governor of Oklahoma was not interested in that defense and this resulted in a formal investigation being launched and this caused superintendent Walters to double down and release this creepy video statement. It's weird because you can just hear a fucking air conditioner or fan buzzing in the background. No audio producers involved. No, no, no. As he basically goes on to be like,

they're fucking lying about me. Is that essentially what his defense is? So here's part of it. I'm like 11 seconds in. So if it starts off on some nonsense, don't worry. The whole thing is him being like, I didn't do it. It was them, the board members that lie on me. What we are going to continue to do is move this education reform for the families of

Oklahoma. Not the laptop mic. I will not stop. I will not back down to these lies by board members and others. These board members should resign immediately in disgrace. Oh, they should resign for what they saw. To try to destroy my character. My family's had to read these headlines that are simply not true. This is why people don't trust it.

I'm actually a victim here. Yep. I'm actually a victim here. Think about my children. You love to see it. When you tell them you're writing your filthy paper, the Japanese noodle, noodle videos that were on my screen, think about the children that have to read that shit. Think about my nine year old son.

What a Japanese noodle, noodle massage video was, because of this nonsense. Just because listeners can hear that it sounds like he's recording that. Ten feet away. On his phone, which is across the room in the pants that he took off, because he was jacking off to the video before he did this just to calm down. But he, the image is beautifully lit and like soft focus. Like, you know, he's using some fucking filters on this shit. Like, so he is both incredibly vain and also doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. He's literally said, OK, I don't give a fuck how it sounds,

but can one of y'all make me not look like the cat's ass? Yeah. They were like, yeah, we'll just put the Vaseline filter on the recalls Drag Race season one filter. Right, exactly. Do you want to look like the Countess Luanne on the first season of Real Housewives of New York? Because we can do that in a confessional. That's what we'll do. Do you want to look like the Countess Luanne on the first season of Real Housewives of New York?

Because we can do that in a confessional. That's what we'll do. The descriptions of this impromptu porn screening are pretty hilarious because apparently Super Nintendo Walters was flailing to try and stop it from being on the TV. So this is from a few articles that are describing the event. Quote, I was like, what am I seeing? I kind of was in shock. Honestly, I started to question whether I was actually seeing what am I seeing? I kind of was in shock, honestly. I started to question whether I was actually seeing

what I was seeing. Carson said, this is a board number. I was like, is that woman naked? And then I was like, no, she's got a body suit on. And it happened very quickly. I was like, that is not a body suit. And I hate to even use these terms, but I said, those are her nipples.

And then I was looking closer and I got a full body view. And I was like, that is pubic hair. Even right now, I couldn't even tell you what I was watching. It was a horny medical exam video. Okay. That's what it was. It's so funny that they're acting like this was this philosophical, like it's like the cave, like that philosophical, like a person who's only looked at a cave wall his whole life and then turns around, wouldn't know what he was looking at because he's used to the shadowing, the one dimensional shadows. That's like how they're describing nudity. Yeah.

They're like, I couldn't make sense of like, why are the clothes the same color as the skin? Is that some sort of body suit? But then nipples. It feels like that fake puritanical shit because all of these people are cut from the same cloth. They have the same ideological agenda. I'm sure they're only just trying to get them out the box.

Like, bro, that could be me. OK, I have Christian nationalist fantasies on my own. And I know I know how to keep my porn on my porn laptop. I watch in my garage. Okay. That's called operational security. Okay. So it's a meet. We're sure it was a meeting in person sitting across from each other. He's sitting there with the TV behind him and a porn video starts playing. Yeah. Okay. That's exactly like the meme. And they're just like...

What? Trying to look at him. And he's like, why does your face look like that? The quote goes on. And he was like, what is this? What is this? So he acknowledged it was inappropriate just by those words.

And he was like, I can't get it to turn off. I can't figure out how to turn it off. And I said, get it turned off. So he finally got it turned off. And that was the end of it. He didn't address it. He turn it off. And I said, get it turned off. So he finally got it turned off and that was the end of it. He didn't address it. He didn't apologize. Nothing was said.

This is some Cohen brothers shit. Yeah. I can't get it to turn off. Get it turned off. I'm trying. I just went down a rabbit hole of kind of a similar instance on my work computer just now trying to find a very specific cursed image.

Have you all ever seen this cursed image of a teacher in school? It's a slideshow presentation. They have the power, like the projector up on the, and there's a hentai up on the fucking projector and the teacher's just like, Oh, okay. Well, me trying to search teacher hentai projector. Yeah. You probably find an interesting projector. That's not going to help the shareholder value.

No, it is not. Okay, the line's going down. The line's going, our father, how would be thy line? Thy line go up, thy will be done on earth as it is on Wall Street. So they go on from the same articles as quote, while both board members describe the footage as retro in nature.

That's funny that they, so they're acting like their brain can't make sense of. They said there was like film grain or something, like it was from the 60s is what people were saying. Their brain can't make sense of a nude body, but they're like, yeah, it looked like it was of a 1960s, early 70s vintage. Like the shape of the pubic hair seemed to- And the shape of her bra was very, my grandmother used to wear a bra like that.

So I knew it must've been from the 60s. This was pre-silicone era, saline only. Yeah, yeah. One of the board members recalled seeing multiple nude women on the screen and some sort of on some sort of quote, chiropractic table. This is another quote. This is from I think the Oklahoma quote, I can confirm there was a kerfuffle and Mr.

Walters seemed shaken. I haven't had any significant conversation with either board members. All I can tell you is that toward the end of the executive session, Becky saw something and said, what is on the TV? Ryan Walters had his back to it, turned around, saw it and freaked out. Quote, he jumped up and started pushing buttons and said, I can't even change the channel.

But then he finally did something to make it stop. Yeah, he probably fucking pushed the entire TV over and started stomping it out. There was no discussion about it. Again, to me at the time, it was just kind of bizarre. Becky said there were naked women. So then he then pivoted his defense. Who is that person speaking there?

I think it was another person in the boardroom, but maybe he had a different angle to it. Different angle. Yeah. Yeah. Who were these two were just sat directly in front of like, what the fuck is going on? So then now he's pivoted to the TV the TV in my office can't even do porn. It's hooked up to a cable box. Like how the heck, like even check there's no port.

What cable channels even playing that? Sadly, the formal investigation I mentioned was quick to call bullshit on that one. Quote, a two page OMS report sent to legislators Tuesday showed Walters claim about the TV streaming capabilities was false. Quote, the TV had cable access streaming services, was connected to an empty DVD player and was equipped with a dipole antenna. This is like so specific.

The TV was connected to the state's open wifi network. A one time passcode was required to access screencasting to the TV, limiting the number of people with casting ability to the device to begin with. They also noted that the batteries in the remote were dead, which probably explains the panicked pervert act that he did when the fucking ship was on the TV. Oh my God. I love the batteries.

There's your problem. This does remind me of the Coldplay video because there is literally no story here. And also the Epstein story, to be honest with you, there's no story here without the obviously guilty reaction, right? Nobody notices or in this case, so easy to write off as like somebody hacked his computer, like that. No, he went with the technology doesn't exist. The technology doesn't exist and you didn't see what you saw. I didn't have shit on that TV.

You say whatever you thought you saw, you didn't see shit and you're resigned. You should resign. I'm Super Nintendo Walters. Okay. People respect this office. Get the fuck out of my face now. Yeah, people have gone on, like there are more increased investigations.

The sheriff's office is involved. And they're even like- Again, because everybody hates this one. This is like an episode of Fargo, I feel like. Honestly, I can confirm there was a kerfuffle. Right, right, right. Oh yeah, there was a kerfuffle in Super Nintendo Walters. They got in a kerfuffle. Right, right, right. Oh yeah, there was a kerfuffle in Superintendant Walter's office. They got a kerfuffle there.

She kept saying, I think I, I hope I didn't see what I thought I saw. Are those? And I hate to use these terms, but nipples? And then the superintendent kept saying, I'm going crazy there down at the lake. Very specific Fargo reference. Yeah. Now people are like, there's this article I read there, people are like suggesting real sort of digital forensic steps now that can be taken to be like, let's just get to the

bottom of this, bro. Give me your fucking devices. Yeah. Just like, where was it coming from? What happened on that TV during that meeting? Like everything is digitized, so it's not like it's a fucking cathode ray tube television. You can go back in whatever the fucking hard drive is that like operates that.

And you will be able to like see what happened. Surprised perverts don't like embrace retro technology. Cause you ain't casting shit on old CRT TV. You know what I mean? He thought maybe it was like this video is so old. Nobody's going to be able to trace it. No one's going to think anyone would possibly get off to this. Right. Even if I was caught, I'll be like, what the heck are they showing us?

It was educational. That's a documentary. Yeah. It's a doctor's exam. I don't think the doctor has a hard on out while he's examining someone's back and neck, but okay. I like the specificity that it was a, but what kind of table is it? Chiropractic.

Chiropractic. Yes. All the articles keep mentioning is like a medical exam, like kink foot video from the 60s or 70s. Chiropractic, how is that different from just a normal medical table? I'm thinking it's probably- I think it's probably low budget. Yeah. It's probably a massage table if I had to't go to a chiropractor. I think it's probably low budget.

Yeah, it's probably a massage table if I had to guess. Yeah, okay. That's why I went Noodle Noodle Oil video. Yes, the Noodle Noodle Oil. So there's like a face cradle. Yeah, and my mouth is on a chiropractor. But also it kind of lines up with how obsessed with sort of gender these people are too,

that he would like watch porn where like a dude is like looking into like a like a person like a lady's naked body like yes yeah they the privacy fully verify i am that guy is totally in control right now yeah yeah so a weirdo uh yeah i mean at, at least they got those Trump bibles into the schools. So you didn't do nothing. He did. I think all the woke teachers out. Thank God. You know, like that was the real threat. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Teachers that would treat their students

as human beings. Yikes. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. All right. Let's take a quick movie playing right in front of you.

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to ten girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and and thinking to the point that if I died for him that would be the greatest honor?

But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

We're back. And I didn't even know about this happening in my own dang city. There's a Elon Musk Tesla diner. Were you aware of this miles? Were you one of the people in the 100 deep line? Yeah, I was first in line first in line for your epic bacon. Hell yeah. For twelve dollars. No. Wait, hold on.

Was that a joke? Is Epic Bacon on the menu? Epic Bacon is on the menu and we will get to how epic it is. Carmen, my sweet summer child. So he's like just fucking up increasingly like things that could be cool. Like he fucked up Twitter, fucked up space travel, fucked up self-driving cars, fucked up fatherhood. Fucked up, yeah. He fucked up using your child as a human shield.

He fucked up his robot penis. Fucked up like sex. He made sex, like, awful. Like, it's really hard to fuck up sex, but he's, like, mailing... Fucked up Grimes. He's reaching out to people on social media. Fucked up Grimes big time. Reaching out to people on social media and being like, can I mail you my sperm?

Like, is so... It sucks so bad. Yeah. Anyways, he is now coming for diners. Which like- God damn it. That was the fucking, the guy with the spiky hairs job. Right. Yeah, Guy Fieri.

Guy Fieri. That was his job. Yeah. He's too busy being in the Adam Santelan, Happy Gilmore 2 sequel. How is it? He has a- there's just, again, there's too many cameos in it. He has to start to turn to me. Then they just go and you're like, whatever.

The big takeaway I'm hearing is that Bad Bunny is one of our great actors. Bad Bunny has range. He has comedic range. I watched that bullet train movie with Brad Pitt. He was pretty good in that. Bad Bunny is in that. Was he? Yeah.

Bad Bunny just looks great on camera, which I guess shouldn't surprise me. Eminem looks like spooky shit in it. Spooky shit? Yeah. Hey man, you look like spooky shit. Are you okay? Thanks bro.

It's the dyed beard. Anyways, he's coming for the diner, which should be pretty difficult to fuck up, but this man is the one genius he has is fucking up everything. So open to diner in Hollywood, which is like this retro futurist kind of greasy spoon that our writer jam says should be described as would have planted Hollywood was an incel UFO. Fucking facts. And all the losers were there instead of all the celebrities.

Oh my God. Yeah, exactly. And yeah, look, whoa, look, that's some other asshole charging their cyber truck there. Sweet. So did he build this exterior? Like that it was not already existing in LA? No, this is not.

This is this is. It does look like it could be something. Yeah, I know. You know how like there's like, oh, that was clearly an old like retro, you know, dining, but no, this was like he like built the OK. Yeah, he built this. Yeah, it's like what if like he took the same unsubtle approach he took to Cybertrux and like did that with like, okay, this should be like circular.

What if we did circular diner? Open on July 21st, a lineup of nearly 100 people, which as somebody who drives around Los Angeles, like who, you know, I have to drive down Melrose every once in a while to like, I'm sorry, pick up my kids from camp. And there is a line, there are line, lineups of nearly 100 people everywhere all the time. For a daycare pick up. That's true. On Melrose, especially, especially if you're getting your Crescent Heights.

Yeah. Yeah. Not just, not just daycare, no, but I mean mean just on Melrose like just edit like for brunch Anyways food is served in cyber truck shaped boxes which some customers wore as hats because Fucking morons, so they ate the food from the box and then they put Why why why why the greasy box with the epic bacon in it and they put the epic bacon grease on their head. The epic bacon is actually a smaller container. It would be hard to put. You could make those mittens if you really wanted, but not so much a hat. hat from behind the pass in the kitchen. Greenspan shouted customer orders. Epic bacon, tuna melt, grilled cheese.

Epic bake. Jesus Christ. Fuck Eric Greenspan to the fucking chef who's running this. You fucking loser. He's like, this is a collab. I would be like, bro, why are you working with this fucking Nazi? Like, what's your fucking deal? It's like, this is a collaboration, dude.

Or he just fucking sucks, dude. He had a shitty grilled cheese restaurant on Melrose. I fucking hate it. Sorry. I'm screaming about food takes. So, uh, people seemed really excited that the Tesla diner will be selling four strips of quote epic bacon for $12. Yeah.

$3 a strip. Well, hold on Carmen, Jack, describe the bacon that you sell for $12. So, uh, let me get down to where somebody actually had it. So, uh, somebody went viral because they just like went to the thing and took a picture of what the Epic bacon looked like next to like what they advertise it as and it's, it's a perfect metaphor for something. It was billed as four strips of maple glazed black pepper bacon served with the choice of dip because everyone who lives on planet earth, that's a bacon

loving normie knows you got to dip your bacon in sauce. The epic bacon, that's like 15 years old now. I know right? That like that trend. Me, that's like me in 20 years with my Labooboo. Everyone is going to be like, what are you doing, bitch? Stop it with the Labooboo. I mean, yes, you just eaten a bunch of epic bacon too with your Labooboo right now. Yes.

How'd you know? So yeah. That's my Saturday night. So the bacon itself was chewy, not crunchy. Of course. And it comes in like a fry, like a McDonald's fry container. That's one of the cardboard sleeves.

Polygon shape. And the picture, yeah, polygonal. Polygonal, yes. Polygonal, yeah. And it has the bacon, just these thick, thick old, chunky slices of bacon pouring out of it on the, uh, you know, image that they sell you on it with.

And then the actual bacon is like so sad. There's like one tiny little curl of bacon, like peeking up over the- That's erect enough to actually be prominent in the thing. I mean, again, this is exactly Elon Musk's whole fucking schtick is like, look at this thing that I'm saying is cool in its presentation. Oh, but once you buy it, it's going to be the absolute shittiest version of the thing I said it was going to be.

Yeah. Electric sauce, by the way, another thing that's just a perfect metaphor. Electric sauce. That's just relabeled Chipotle mayo. Chipotle mayo. Yeah, it's just a perfect metaphor. That's just relabeled Chipotle mayo. Yeah, it's just Chipotle. That's another fucking like 15 year old food, like flavor. Have you heard of this Chipotle mayo?

Have you heard of sauce? Have you tried your Elon's electric sauce? Dude, get the fuck away from me. You got to get the electric sauce with the epic bacon, bro. I'm just so glad that people are protesting in front of this thing. Cause like, while there are some people dumb enough to appear in public patronizing this place, there aren't plenty of people who are just like, yeah, this is the Nazi diner.

Is this what you fucking want? Also to fucking nuisance to the people that live nearby. Yeah. It's, and it pisses me. And I know Jamie talks about that. It's talked about this on the pod before, but pisses me off to know and that those people that are going and standing in line here and also buying the blue checks on Twitter, they think that they are like punk or whatever, because they think that

they now that they think that they're on like the fringe of like, you know, public belief. And it's so infuriating to me. Like, y'all are so stupid. You're literally yuppies. You're stupid. Like, ah! Anyway. Yeah, I mean, it's just so funny too,

of like, even if they, it's like, oh, you think you're punk? You're like, okay, tell me about punk music. Tell me about the history of punk rock. Right. Because was that a bunch of people being like, we love Lee Iacocca. We love the government. We love Margaret Thatcher. Are you fucking stupid? This is the antithesis.

Y'all are fucking out here just being like, we love Margaret Thatcher. Basically, yeah, cool, man. That's fucking sick, dog. That's so fucking sick. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. I mean, there were like I do. I think, you know, we've been predicting for a long time That's so fucking sick. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.

I mean, there were, like, I do, I think, you know, we've been predicting for a long time that, like, the 80s were coming back where, like, it was seen as cool. And, like, I think that's what it is. It's like all the fucking yuppies, like you said, Carmen, are just, like, back and they're, like, it's actually cool to be this. Epic. To be a fan of rich people. I didn't sell out there.

I bought in. Yeah. Yeah. It's really epic. Mm-hmm. They also have, like rich people. I bought in. Yeah. Yeah. It's really epic. Mm-hmm. They also have like drive-in movie theaters. I don't know. It's like- For Tesla?

Yes. You can charge your car and like watch a movie while eating the world's shittiest food there. But- Like the Twitter, like the Twitter posts about the people who like live nearby, like this thing, people were likening it

to the Seinfeld Kenny Rogers Roasters episode. Yeah, yeah. Where the fucking, the lights were just blasting into people's apartments and they're like, what the fuck, man? I can't, and it's loud, it's all fucked up. Just like when he put the X sign up, it lit up the whole fucking where with them.

Yeah. And people were like, get this shit down. Like, are you fucking stupid? Again, this makes sense that a person who has no concept that other people exist on planet Earth that have like a right to peace, would just build this like monstrosity that has fans to keep their gigantic LED screen cool, like making it just life miserable for the people who live next door. Oh, well, that's only in the libs. Like if you're miserable,

you're a lib and they're owning the libs. That's called owning a business. Yeah. I actually like that I can't even hear the helicopters anymore because of how loud the fan is that's calling the giant LED screen. Yeah. And one reviewer was left feeling mildly nauseated after the meal,

which would make sense since people have taken photos of boxes of frozen products and milk sitting out in the parking lot in July heat. What's the, I really want to know what their food safety rating is, like the kitchen score, you know? I mean, I'm sure he pays for that, pays for a night. Good point. All right, let's end on some good news. Okay. Ocelots, which are like really cool jungle cats,

and possums, which are... My mother's favorite. They're a marsupial. A marsupial, kind of nasty looking, but by some standards, others would call them cute, but they have faces from hell, kind of, which they have faces from hell. That's okay. I got to, I'm my mother.

I think they're adorable. My mother pulled me up for the opossum. Their faces get fucked up because they can't see and they experience the world with they lead with their face. So that's why that shit is the first thing getting mashed up. If you see out the fucking fresh out the box, baby, fresh out the box, it's in one of those spacesuits? One of those space suits. They do immaculate. I like that. Like they just see it's incredible to me that this creature has managed to survive this long.

Like you said, they're blind and leading with their face to the extent that like they just look fucked up all the time. I, we have one in our yard and he just watching him like waddle across the yard. It's just like, how has this thing ever gotten away from anything ever? Right. And I guess the answer is like by playing dead, which again is my response is my trauma response. So I admire it.

It just doesn't always work so well for me, but apparently the possum is out here surviving. And another way that they're surviving is by making friends. So everyone was like, yeah, I mean, an ocelot would be the natural predator of a possum and yet there are cameras, trail cameras in the Amazon rainforest who keep capturing ocelot possum like buddy cop duo pairings just like palling around. Wait a minute. I'm looking into this.

I'm doing some research. Oh here. I'm investigating. I can play a video here. I'm transvestite. Ocelots are cool as fuck. They are. They're like spotted jungle cats.

It's cool because like the possum, in my mind, I'm like, maybe the possum would trail the ocelot, but the possum's like, come on, man, we're going over here. The real Akuna Matata shit. What are we getting into? Hey, let's go on this log. Alright. Possum can smell stuff that maybe the ocelot doesn't. So one of the theories is that the possum is using the ocelot's scent to hide themselves from large predators.

So like a chemical camouflage. So a beard, if you will. Right. That doesn't really make sense because the ocelot would be one of the presumed predators. So as for what the ocelot is getting out of the relationship, there's a theory that the possums are resistant to snake venom, which the ocelot is not. So the ocelot is like a lead blocker for snakes where like a snake gets them and then they're just like, fuck out of here.

Oh, the possum is the lead blocker. The possum is resistant to snake venom. Oh, that's the full back. Yeah, so he's there in, you know, this is the fucking Amazon rainforest. So obviously there are a lot of snakes that will kill you dead. And the osla is just out here kind of laying back

as the possum gets bit. And then they're like, okay, don't go that direction. And the Asla is just out here kind of laying back as the possum gets bit. And then they're like, okay, don't go that direction. He's like, hey, you good, you good? Oh, fuck, the fucker bit me right in my jugular. Yeah, I'm all right, all right, let's go over here. Let's see if someone over here, man. So I like, so the Asla might be using the possum really. It's just like, yeah, motherfucker.

So the possum is in an abusive relationship with the possum, in other words. That's what it, like, that is the way that humans always interpret animal anything, is like, okay, it's life and death, and they're just using each other as tools. But also, like, I've seen enough videos where, like, you know, a family happens to have

a dog, like a big dog and a tiny kitten and like the big dog like loves the kitten. Like, is that because it like thinks it can use the kitten as like a bear, bear bait or something? Like, it's just like, no, it's just like animals are like, can be like sweet to one another every once in a while. Man, what a concept, Jack. You should write a children's book, Jack, about animals. Animals can be sweet to one another. Yes, animals can be sweet to one another. Yeah, maybe that'll help as a metaphor that humans are like,

we don't have to be transactional. We can just kind of talk with people and enjoy. It's true. But like, think of it. We don't have to fight. Yeah, the fact that we can't even look at nature without being like, how, how are they making wine go up on their amount of their capacity for survival? It's like, what the fuck? Jesus.

I don't know. Maybe they're embracing AI to do more innovation. Open your mind to like another possibility where people are just nice. I was like, maybe this is, I'm glad they have multiple examples rather than like just this one, because it would be funny if they're like, yeah, actually the Ocelot was playing the long game with that motherfucker, man. Yeah. Get the fuck out of him.

I bet the Ocelot maybe defends his, the possum's babies. I'm just going to say that. That would be adorable. Yeah. There's like even video where like that, that I'm sure the scientists were like, all right, finally the jig is up where like the Ocelot is like, oh, I'm going gonna say that. That would be adorable. Yeah. There's like even video where like, that I'm sure the scientists were like, all right, finally, the jig is up

where like the ocelot is like batting at the possum, but then the possum bats back and they're like clearly playing. Playing, yeah. My dogs are, you know, this makes me think of my dogs who are deathly afraid of any dog that is like, they're very aware of their size and any dog that is like slightly bigger of them, they're afraid of, and I'm always afraid of any dog that is like, they're very aware of their size and any dog that is like, slightly bigger of them, they're afraid of.

And I'm always trying to convince them to make friends because like, this is an example, you want big friends out there in the jungle, you know? Oh, mm-hmm. So... I do just play dead. I, you know. I wonder if that's how it happened,

is like the possum like, played dead and the oslo's like, come on, fam. Like... Right. I would love that. I would if that's how it happened is like the possum like play dead and the Oslo's like come on fan like a rare You're not dead. I would love that. I would love that but I'm not you you actually look kind of nasty to me I'm not trying to Our writer Katie golden pointed out that this might actually just be viral marketing for Zootopia 2. Oh Comedy in which a father team up to solve racism. Genius call, writer. They could be. That new trailer just dropped.

I've been listening to too much DMX that when you kept saying, my dogs, my dog is like, my dogs is with it. You want it, come and get it. My dogs is with it. You want it, come and get it. I was like with it. You want it, come and get it. And I was like, okay, nevermind. We're not doing a Rough Writer's Anthem reference here. Well, Carmen LaRonde, such a pleasure having you on the podcast. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff?

Thank you all for having me. It was so much fun as always. I am at the Carmen LaRonde on Instagram where I ship post 24 seven on my stories. Good stories. Yeah. And. The ship posts are great. Thank you. And then a lot of my vocal ticks, you know, anything that I'm currently obsessed with

is up on my stories. And usually there's some cross-dresser content on there too. And I host a podcast called Diva Down with my friend who's British. And the episode that came out yesterday is with my good friend, Janie Danger, the Atlanta diva. And you should stream her new single, Kill Yourself Helpbook. Wait, yeah, Kill Yourself Helpbook.

I was like, let me make sure I'm getting that right. Yes. That's great. And so yeah, it's all in like, let me make sure I'm getting that right. Yes. That's great. And so, yeah, it's all in like, it had to be titled that I guess for like censorship. She had big issues with that music video because she's like holding a gun to her head the entire music video and a fake gun by the way. Right, right, yeah. And YouTube wouldn't allow it.

So she had to re-release a non-gun to the head version of her music video. So go support Kill Yourself Helpbook. It's actually kind of going off as like one of like her most popular songs right now. Hell yeah. Amazing. Is there work of media that you've been enjoying?

Oh my God. Okay. Are y'all okay? I quoted her at the beginning of the, I quoted her at the beginning of the pod. Do y'all, y'all familiar with the, the well, it's one and only 24 karat la boo boo. Oh yeah, I saw, the meme? Yes, so she, this woman is a genius, okay?

So I don't even actually, she like lives in LA, but she's like an English woman who breeds like big giant bully pit bulls. And so she's not a cross dresser, but she is one of my other internet obsessions in the sense that she's just this like very like English, like bimbo type who has the world's one and only 24 karat gold la boo boo.

It's quite literally and obviously a la boo boo that she spray painted with very sloppily with gold spray paint. But she is, and I love this type of comedy where she's just plainly presenting it, and people are engaging with it in a way where they're like mad at her. They're like, that is not a 24 karat, that is clearly a spray painted Labooboo and she just keeps trolling them.

And so like, she comes out with like more and more videos if you follow her. I don't know what the fuck her handle is right now. I can't find her. She has one of those handles that's really hard to find, okay? And so she just like continues to troll people and she's like, this is a 24 karat gold testing device where she like has a comb and then her phone alarm sound. And if this is real gold, it will beep and she is being like completely like dead.

Lil Bulls official. Lil Bulls, Lil Bulls, Lil's Bulls official. Yes, thank you. There it is on TikTok. Yep. Thank you. Lizzy's, L-I-L-Z-B-U-U-B-U-L-L-Z official. Lily's Bulls Marbella.

Marbella. Yeah, she lives, I guess in Spain actually. But yeah, she makes the most funny fucking videos where she's just like... Doubling down on it. Being completely deadpan serious, but she's doing a bit the entire time. And I love when people engage with it

because the way that people engage with it, because you see a hot woman who's like very made up and you think, well, there's no way that she's being funny. She's just being stupid. She's being serious. Right, right, right. And she's like, y'all are fucking dumb. No, she's actually like being really funny and y'all are just like underestimating her humor.

And so I love her. I'll be the judge of that. Yeah, right. I actually don't think women are funny. Women are funny so this has to be dumb. I don't watch them trying to be funny because I actually don't like to even think about that. Right.

It fucking weirds me out. I also have to close my eyes when I talk. I think bimbo humor is the last... It needs its moment. This is the moment for bimbo humor. I think Superman had really great bimbo humor. Oh, did it? Oh, did it? Yes. I think Superman had really great bimbo humor. Oh Okay. Yeah

Oh you've gotta go see the supermans the girl was just taking a selfie. She has a little boo-boo It's very just like you know, like it's the I think we're in the age of the bimbos and it's not We're in the bimbo era. I got my breast implants. We're in the bimbo era Boop came out boop is like all the rage on Broadway right now. Right? What is Boop? Boop? It's about Betty Boop. Oh. It's like a Broadway play about Betty Boop.

Isn't Betty Boop kind of bimbo? Yes. She's like the original... The original bimbo. She's the original. Oh, my God. We are coming full circle. Wow. It's been a hundred years of bimbo. Yeah. Wonderful. So's been a hundred years of bimbo. Yeah.

I'm going to be relocating my home life to a new location. So I may be busy there. That won't affect this show as much. But here we go. A post I like is from BlueSky. It's from putawomanincharge.bsky.social posted like a picture. I don't know which philosopher this is, but it looks like a very like sort of contemplative philosopher painting. And it says, today I completed a chore. I have been putting off for seven months. It took 12 minutes. I will learn nothing from this.

And I felt that in my bones. Oh, at Work Media, I've been enjoying a tweet from Rinnystar at R-I-N-N-Y-S-T-A-R-R tweeted, cars these days have too many gadgets.

Hey, Miles, is there a song that you think that people might enjoy?

Yeah, this is from the artist, Trust Me, TRUS, apostrophe, ME and the track is called Browns. It's just like it sounds like really dope, haunted, hold music if you're on a phone call. I love. Not like the Cisco systems one that's very famous. It's like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Anyway, it's like of that variety where it just feels a little bit just sort of surreal, but has like this sort of 80s texture to it.

I think it's just great just to kind of, you know, dissociate a little bit through music and use this track to do it. Trust me. And the track is called Browns. All right. I'll trust you on that one.
