Darnitally's High Guys! Darnitally production of iHeart Radio. We are America's only undecided podcast. Even after last night's VP Debate. Still. Who knows? Who knows? Head scratcher.

We're actually recording this before the VP Debate folks. So our VP Debate takes will be on this afternoon's Trent episode. This though, well, this is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness and it is Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024. Man, October 1st was a load bearing. Chock full. Chock full full chocolate was absolute chocos my holidays on now October 2nd is National Smarties day for the K a national walk to school day national pumpkin seed day national name your car day

national custodial workers day national fried scallops day national produce not dude national produce scallops day national produce that dude national produce misting day. The fucking mis- Shout out to the produce misters. That is I don't know why I that's like the most specific thing that I've always been fascinated with like as a kid always just wanting to touch the mist when it comes down.

But anyway, yeah, those are your holidays. Produce misting is underrated. I'm always impressed by that. Yeah. They seem to get it pretty right. Yeah. It feels like, I think, is it just presentational or does that like keep the produce fresh?

No, it apparently, it says a little bit of misting history for you. Before the misting systems, grocers threw away too much dated product So they would do things like wrap things in wet or soak burlap potato sacks of water and then lay that over the vegetables So they didn't dry out which looked like shit Yeah, yeah, I'd be like, oh bro. This fucking apple smells like an old-ass potato Put the onion set we put a wet onion sack over it. We hope you enjoy over these blueberries

They're delicate. They'd really smell and taste of what just mashed with onion scent. Yeah My voice how's your voice? Detecting something I was I was detecting something through my ears. Now I feel like something. Yeah, man. I feel a little bit sick and I just got hit with a notification from my kid's school that there is a confirmed case of streptolococcus streptolococcus.

That's what strep. That's the full name of strep. That's how it's pronounced. It's streptolococcus. There's Staphylococcus and strep. I don't know if that's how it's pronounced. It's Streptococcus. I might have just made that up. There's Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Oh. I might have that wrong,

but I'm doing my best over here. No, you got it. Streptococcal pharyngitis. Yeah. And as a nickname, because I'm so familiar with it, I just kind of mashed those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is why.

I got it, I got it. Anyways, I'm not doing great miles, but thank you for asking. I had to check in. I heard something. I heard some. Yeah, there, there is a little bit of something going on, something sitting on the old voice box. Yeah. My name is Jack O'Brien, AKA, and I did choose to do a song AKA today, despite the fact, because I hadn't really spoken out loud much when I made that decision. Anyways, here goes nothing. And here's to you, Mark Robinson.

No one loves you like you love Tagoon. Tone it down, please, Mark Robinson. In heaven, you can jerk and bust all day. Please just wait. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, courtesy of Kristy Yamaguchi main, the one and only Kristy Yamaguchi main on the discord. Actually, there's probably some imitator bod accounts, but this is the real one. Yeah, legit.

The real one. Yeah. Who got a shout out when somebody else made reference to Mark Robinson, Gooning. They were like, shout out to Christy Yamaguchi-Main and Jort Center. So I have to assume Christy Yamaguchi-Main, a Gooning expert. Yeah. That's what, that's what I'm picking up. Yeah.

Shout out to you, sir. You know what Arsenal fans are called? I know. Gooners. Gooners. Yeah. Yeah. And is that where the, the nickname Gooning came from?

No, but it's why I decided to support the club. Attached to my own meaning to it. So, you know, we kind of found each other. Oh my God, what a coincidence. Your fan base has called that and I'm sitting here with my dick in my hand for eight hours in a row watching porn. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Hey, it's Miles Gray, the Lord of Lakersham, the Noho God, the

Shogun with no gun, AKA Bill Shitter's because I love bidets. Okay. That's me. Thank you for having me's because I love bidets. Okay. That's me. Thank you for having me back, Jack. Another season. Hey man. It was touch and go, but we're here and it's great to be back. Great to be back.

Oh man. Yeah. We were talking about like the, the, every week when we get the notification that we've been renewed for another season, it's just celebration over here. That's why my voice sounds like that. The last season renewal party went a little hard. Anyways, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a talented producer

and the director of films such as the upcoming drama cycles and his directorial debut documentary, Coaching While Black, which is premiering at the International Black Film Festival this weekend in Nashville, Tennessee. Please welcome to the show Alex Eskandarko. Welcome. Thank you guys.

Did well with the last thing. That was pretty good. All right. And you know, what's the I didn't even ask how to pronounce it before. Yeah. Well, I was worried. Oh, this guy. You saw my energy like this guy. You're like, he's about to fuck it up. Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, what's the what's the other way? He said streptococcus. I was like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He might know how to do multiple words. I make them up usually, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How bad? Wait, what's the worst mispronunciation of your last name you've been hit with? You know, some people just miss all the hard constants.

They go, ask the ha ha ha. Good. Ha ha ha. Yes. You know, school school was rough for a little bit, you know? Yeah, but we got through it. We made it. We made it. Made it. Yeah. Alex E will call you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's your gym teacher. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, Alex E. Get over here. Call you Alex E. Scando. How about that? That's a good one,

actually. I like that one. Yeah. Scando's pretty good. All right. All right. All right. Yeah. So, wait, you're coming to us from Canada. You're in Toronto. You know, this is international podcasts. We always love having people on from from all over the globe. But dude, the the documentary coaching while black is so dope. Like, again, I was like looking at the trailer, I can't wait to actually watch the full documentary. But just like the this idea of a black team performing really well and how that invites added scrutiny and all these other things that eventually lead to something a little more chaotic for these players and coach coaches is like a very it feels like a story as old as time but every time you see it like it's always still super engaging and riveting like well I'm guessing you're a big basketball fan. That'd be wild if you're like, I actually hate basketball, but this is awesome. Is that what they were doing? Okay, okay. Oh, so that was a sport? No, that makes so much more sense. That actually clears up a lot for me.

Yeah, how did you like, what was your path in even getting into making a documentary like that? Well, I played in the conference that Tom talks about. So I was kind of familiar a little bit with what was going on. And like you guys, I played in the conference that film talks about. So I was familiar a little bit with what was going on. And like you guys, I had a podcast, then somebody came to me and they're like, there's this dope coach, you got to bring on your podcast stories, you know, this, this and this. And I started vetting the guy and I'm like, I had just

watched the last dance. So I was like, yeah, super inspired by you know, and I'm like, Oh, call one of my homies up. And I'm like, we've got to make a movie. And he's like, shut the front door, bro. Like, what are you talking about? You know, and I'm like, no, man, like I did the research. I'm like, this guy's story is kind of cool. And I knew nothing about filmmaking.

I just knew what we wanted to tell the story and we went, we started to try to raise some money for it. Raise like six figures to do it. First time, first time, a bunch of money in my hands. I'm like, damn. And then we just said, yeah, let's make it. You know, and I knew kind of what was going on in the gyms. I played in them. I had a little bit of a frame of reference. Right. It took me like three years to make it.

So and then, yeah, man. And then, you know, when the film circuit, all that stuff and fun with it. And people like the film. So I'm like, OK, right. So that's the last dance. You know, I I notice how they were like, man, they're they're recruiting kids out of province like is is Ontario Ontario or I guess Toronto specifically that pop in with basketball players like they got they got guys from Toronto.

Like they're cheap. Yeah, that's kind of was that was that kind of was the was the framing like, oh, you're bringing out these black kids from the inner city. You know, the fairies kind of like I'd say, like, you know, maybe the Texas of Canada. And so they didn't like that. They took it. They took the exception to that. And we were, you know, these kids were whopping all these other teams. Like it was just too easy. Right. Right. A bunch of black kids on one team, you're playing a bunch of, you know, white kids that are, you know, just probably never seen a black kid up until that point.

Right. And it was just too easy. You know, the right back championships. And then after the second one, Coach got fired. And then, you know, that's kind of where we we backtrack and go through the lived experiences of those players and see what they were. You know what they were dealing with on the way to those chips. But yeah, it's pretty much the bulk of the story, man. Well, yeah, cool, man.

Coaching people can check it out on Prime right now. Yeah, it's available on the bulk of the story, man. Well, yeah, cool, man. Coaching people can check it out on Prime right now. Yeah, it's available on Prime right now for rental, you know, and then it'll be at the festival. And I think that'll be the last few festivals will be over the last next couple of months. And then that's it. Are you going to Nashville? I was going to go to Nashville, but then my bag got stolen out of a Jeep.

The Jeep, the whole Jeep, I stole it. My friend's Jeep, I stole it. OK, my bag was stolen out of a Jeep the Jeep the whole Jeep I stole and my friend's Jeep I stole my bag was in there with my passport And my wallet man and my laptop which was like a couple weeks ago in the middle of like yeah I was planning on going Man, I'm sorry that sucks. Yeah, I want to see Nashville man I was really excited, but the film will be there without so yeah, I think was I think it was like gang. Yeah. As soon as I gang pull up to check it out, because we know you're out there. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Well, Alex, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of stories we're talking about. So this is weird one. Kamala Harris is underwater in Michigan. According to some internal polling from Michigan Democrat, Alyssa Slotkin. Yeah.

Yeah. We don't know where this could be coming from. Maybe the uncommitted movement and her complete ignoring of them, of said movement, couldn't be. But we'll look at that. Yeah. We'll look at that. We'll look at the 43 foot tall statue of a anatomically correct nude Trump. Stressing anatomically. I like that they're like, it's anatomically correct.

Yeah. We'll talk about Donald Trump's speech. Yeah, exactly. Talking about Donald Trump's beef with insects, plenty more. But first, Alex, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Food near me. That was the top of the list. You know, I get hungry. And then right after that was Jamaican food near me. Wait, so you went from food to Jamaican food? Yeah, I got a little more specific, you know?

Yeah. And then after that, I'm like, oh, shawarma near me. Okay. Well, it seemed like I was really indecisive. Right. A few meals, but we did settle on Jamaican food. We're in Toronto. You know, they got to make food out here. And you know that I think food, you know, I love it's really hard to say no food, you

know, that was a lot about me. I'm not foodie. Yeah With that first search term I thought for sure you were like a foodie with food near me I'm really easy to please it's not that serious Right see what that search result I'm gonna do that right now. Is it going to be like grocery stores? Oh no, there's some little. Okay.

Yeah. I mean, they're just kind of being like my favorite restaurants near me. So they're literally knows you. Yeah. Yeah. They know, they know too much. Actually. I need to stop in a way too much.

Yeah, for sure. So they're like, I think there's a sandwich in the refrigerator. Jack, wait, what the right? They're like, look in the back, dude. I think you've been ignored. It might be bad. You might need to throw it out. Like, how do you know?

It's like, you know, starting to smell off. Yeah, should have never got that smart refrigerator, homie. My Google calls me a homie all the time. Alex, what is something you think is underrated? No, I get a lot of crap for drinking peri-water. I think it's really underrated. You know what I'm saying? Maybe it comes off as a little bougie.

But I mean, like we're from L.A. No, you said Perry, I was about to laugh at you. I was like, you're from L.A. No, no. You said Perry, I was about to laugh at you. I was like, you're very what's wrong, bro? Your time machine break down from the 80s. Wait, people give you shit for just for is it for just because it's carbonated, like imported spring bubbly water or just the bubbly water? Well, yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, it just tastes a little better than that glass. You know, like, yeah, that's true. You know what I'm saying? And then like the bubbly and all that stuff is cool. But I'm like, you know, it's what's the flack of a periode water? I want the bubbles without the sugar. Right. I watch my figure. You know what I'm saying?

It's when the time's coming up, you know, I'm just going to be somewhere in the summer. I skipped my summer body a few summers now. So yeah, I'm making effort Why guys have topo Chico up there? No, I don't know that is what is that topo Chico is like a Mexican sparkling water in in a glass bottle But the way we talk about topo is like the carbonation. It's like trying to fucking fight you It's so intense like you'll take a sip

It's like trying to fucking fight you. It's so intense. Like you'll take a sip. Oh, I like that. It's crazy. But it's also great. Yeah, no, no, no. It's great. I love. I mean, I love topo. It's like sparkling water for people who are in the hot sauces who are, you know, this is a tax money as it goes down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You just spike the bottle after one. But now I might have to be a. Yeah. Something water contest. Look out for it. Yeah, look out for. She got for Topo Chico. Yeah. Topo cheek. What is something you think is overrated?

I think the Lakers, you know, I think every year we're like talking about the Lakers as if they have like this chance at a title. And I don't know how it is to be a Los Angeles fan but I'm looking at them like that guys not in the conversation for no championship and they haven't been since 2020 bubble. Yeah. Yeah, you know the Los Angeles Lakers the from the NBA. Yeah They're home The franchise Yeah. Yeah. No, that's a fair. I totally forgot that the franchise.

Maybe it's just the LeBron fans. I don't know. Yeah. Although I feel like it wasn't like this when he was in Cleveland. Right. Like the ESPN was not leading off every show being like Cleveland might be in trouble. Right. Well, I think because you get to combine having the goat player with a franchise

that everybody except Laker fans hates. So it all works. I get the momentum to do that. Look, as a lifelong Laker fan, I'm hurt by that take, but I'm also 100% also believe that I'm like every time they're like, they could do something like we're not doing. I'm not doing shit. Okay, just leave that alone. And I know way I feel like we're kindred spirits between Raptors and Laker fans like we had we had a good thing going and then we completely blew it up without properly replacing parts and I'm like, are we so what are we just gonna wait another 12 years or something? So yeah, no, I agree. I agree. There's no one should be saying that we're at the moment in any kind of conversation, uh, given what we got, but Hey, and yet you're in every

conversation that happens. I think because now, especially with Brawny being there, there's all this new intrigue and I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, LeBron, but the Lakers is not a discovery zone. This is not a place for you to play with your child and make memories. This is a serious basketball franchise. Send that young man to the G League where he will actually develop. And then let's talk.

But I'm a fan of the nepotism, though. I'm a fan of it. You know, it's L.A. You know, it wouldn't happen any other way. It had to be the Lakers for something like that. For sure. No matter. I'm at it. I'm wondering like, is LeBron the late, like if the Lakers had to be a single

player throughout the history of the NBA, I'm sure Lakers fans would want themselves to be Kobe, but I feel like they're actually LeBron. Why is that? Because they're the second best ever. They're the second greatest, right? Or at least, you know, it varies depending. Sure. And people love to hate both the Lakers and LeBron.

Yeah, but he hasn't. People love to hate Kobe too. Yeah, but he hasn't. I mean, he, like, Kobe was like the one who's like,ron. Yeah, but he is. He is. Yeah, he is. I mean, he's like Kobe was like the one who's like, no, yeah, hate me. So I can like traumatize you in your own arena was his whole thing. I think with LeBron, he just hasn't played with the Lakers enough, I think, to be able to be like when people think of the Lakers, they think of LeBron because I think people think in L.A., people would think of magic before LeBron, I would say, think in LA, people would think of magic before

LeBron I would say like Kobe. I'm saying he's the defining player. I'm saying if we're doing allegories, also both magic and Kobe stayed in the same place their whole career, whereas the same can't be said for the Lakers, right? They were in Minneapolis at first. Oh, got it. Okay. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting.

Hot take. The Lakers are the LeBron James of the NBA. I can work for ESPN. Yeah. I mean, that's good outrage. That's a good outrage article. People are clicking the shit out of that. Can you believe what O'Brien just dropped on ESPN? Fuck out of here. I'd be walking out of ES. They're like, can you believe what O'Brien dropped on ESPN? Fuck out of here.

I'd be walking out of ESPN headquarters like Reagan and during the assassination attempt. Hey, O'Brien, what? Yeah. All right. Let's let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Hey, I'm Gianna Pedente. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadston.

I created this show to bring you conversations that inspire, motivate and help you navigate

life a little easier. Every guest brings something special, whether it's about relationships, mental health or finding your purpose. And this week I had the opportunity to interview Sean Mendez, a singer-songwriter known for his heartfelt lyrics and melodies. Sean's music feels like an open diary, raw, relatable and real. Beyond the music, he's all about using his platform for good, advocating for mental health and the environment. He really comes down to the moment you're prepared to take responsibility for your life

and for everything that goes wrong and for everything that goes right. And it's hard. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you'll not want to miss this one. Hi, I'm Essie Cupp and I've spent the last 20 plus years knee deep in politics and the news. Trust me, you'll not want to miss this one. from the news, from the triggering headlines. And I kind of suspect some of you listening out there might need a break too. So my new podcast is gonna be just that,

a fun and loose space where I talk to my famous friends and people I admire about all the stuff that consumes us when we're not consumed by politics. I did not really rebel in the 60s. I had no sex in the 70s. I made no money in the 60s. I had no sex in the 70s. I made no money in the 80s. So when true crime came along, I missed that trend too. So many great guests are joining me from Josh Mankiewicz to Larry Wilmore to Molly John Fass to Josh Gad.

I'm so excited that you have this platform. And I am just like hoping that I don't destroy the platform in its earliest stages. Listen to Off the Cup on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. And we're back. And as mentioned up top, we're recording this on Tuesday. We don't know exactly what happened in the VP debate. We don't know what happened to the VP debate at all, but we've got a presidential election coming up.

Yeah. Yeah. A very close presidential election. One where every single swing state is going to be a tight race. Now there's a lot of times like it'll be like Harris up three or whatever, but that's also like the margin of error too. So most people were like, it's that's close.

Everything is close. Nothing can be taken for granted. And on election night, Kamala Harris would need to win all of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Plus no freaky upsets to get to 270 electoral votes. Okay. If Trump wins in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, he would need to flip Michigan to get to 270. And so a lot of people are looking all like, you know, rightly Democrats are looking at

North Carolina, because if you take North Carolina off the table for Trump, that could be a wrap for him. And the other direction, Republicans looking at Michigan, seeing that as a flip that could be completely detrimental to Kamala Harris's aspirations. So earlier this week, Michigan Democrat Alyssa Slotkin raised a lot of alarms during like this virtual fundraiser when she said that her internal polling from her campaign showed that Kamala is, quote, underwater. She said, quote, I'm not feeling my best right now about where we are on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan. We have her underwater in our polling now. A place like Michigan. She didn't say Michigan specifically.

We're just, you know, we got to keep it very vague. Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to be putting smoke out there for the Michigan. Right now, this could be this, there's two ways to do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it.

You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can vague. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to be putting smoke out there for the Michigan. Right. Now this could be, there's two possibilities here. It could be that like the polling is pretty similar. She might not be underwater and this could be like a fundraising tactic to get donors to kick in more because the, I am the underdog.

Help me. Tactic is pretty common in politics. I think anyone who's ever received a fundraising email, you'll you've seen some language. It's like we're getting fucking kicked. The shit is getting kicked out of us. Well, Jack, all caps were fucked. Yeah. Thanks, asshole. You got five or no. Yeah.

Let me hold 30 bucks, please. Now that's one version, but this could also be a sign that Harris's unwillingness to break from Biden on arming and turning a blind eye to Israel's actions are manifesting in lower support than previous cycles. And the primary showed that the uncommitted movement had over 750,000 voters across the country, 100,000 of them in Michigan specifically. Now, when you look at the market in the primary, like these are the likeliest of likely voters, they voted in the fucking primary and let it be known that we are uncommitted

as a message to be like, we're not saying we're turning our back on y'all, but you need to under you need to hear us as a voting block that you count on to win elections. Right. So the margin of victory in Michigan in 2020 was 154,000 votes. Okay. A hundred thousand of these uncommitted voters are in Michigan. Okay. So in 20, but Biden, again, the mission, that's what's so wild about the messaging, this cycle, like in 2020, you saw how it was much more being like, hey, like immigrants and people who come to America and become citizens, they are Americans, too. And we respect you because this was the time of putting kids in cages

or the Muslim ban and things like that. And the message there was like, we see you, we embrace you. We don't want it. We're not trying to do what Trump is trying to do to you. And this year, it seems like total silence in terms of again, hearing out a key group of voters, you know, Harris, like wouldn't even meet with the organizers from the uncommitted movement. And that's a huge, that could be a huge rake to step on and a self inflicted L for this very, very consequential election. And obviously, like when you look at the polling, many Americans are against the occupation

and ongoing siege and arming the IDF. But for Arab Americans, this election presents a very complex moral dilemma. There's a few, like a lot of journalists have been speaking to people in Michigan and there's like this one, I think, quote really sums up kind of what people are feeling in Michigan. This is from Dr. Misa Hyder-Bedun. And she is a she owns a chain of pharmacies and like, like in the in Michigan lifelong Democrat, she said, quote, We are good Americans, we are good taxpaying law abiding citizens, but our money is being funneled overseas and killing people that are actually physically related to us. And to not hear these kinds of concerns and, you know, present some kind of like,

you know, the air of leadership that you hear what people are asking of you, I think could be a huge, huge setback. But again, if you look at a lot of the polling that the that's made available publicly, you know, she could be up anywhere between two to three and a half points or something like that, but still very, very close. And I think for, you know, you'd imagine that a political campaign that is looking at all of these fine numbers and margins would see this and be like, is this like, are we ready to say something about this? Or are we just going to try and bury our heads and hope that people

will hold their noses and just vote because of, you know, the possibility of Trump. So it's, yeah, it's a very, very delicate situation that I'm not quite sure what, where this is going to move. But I mean, based on the comments, even this week, it doesn't seem like Harris is quite ready to change anything up, if at all. Yeah. It's more unpopular. I mentioned this yesterday, but just to reiterate,

it's more unpopular with Americans than the Vietnam War in 1968 when that war lost Democrats to the election. Biden's actions in relation to that are the lowest rated things when it comes to how all of this stuff is polling and they just refuse to distance themselves from it. Yeah. Yeah. So that's not great. Well, meanwhile, on the other side,

we wild transition to us next story. I'm sorry, listeners, you know how the show moves, you know, what we do. This is what's in the zeitgeist. So we're going to have to go from the Michigan Democratic outlook to 43 foot tall naked Trump statue. Anatomically correct nude Trump. Yes. Yeah. Did they like scan him or this is just like based on best guessing?

I think they told Donald Trump he was going to be in the new 2k. So he had to come in for a body scan. And then they use that data to then create this 43 foot tall monstrosity. I think so a group of anonymous artists recently erected a 43 foot tall statue depicting again, an anatomically correct new Donald Trump. And it was installed on the 15, which is the interstate that you take like if you're driving from LA to Vegas, like, I mean, that's how most Arizona's know it. That's how you get to Las Vegas, just

outside of Las Vegas, and the intent of the nudity, according to the artist was quote, intentional serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures. Well, Republicans and conservatives, they freaked out online. The Nevada Republican Party put out a statement that said, quote, while families drive through Las Vegas,

they are forced to view this offensive marionette designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue. Another person on Twitter who's like a right-wing influencer said quote all caps political violence. Nevada Democrats have hung a 43 foot tall 6,000 pound naked President Trump in effigy near Las Vegas on Interstate 15. The display cost $550,000. It is designed to incite violence against and on behalf of the former president is what this is supposed to do. What the fuck does that mean?

So incite violence on I get on against. Yeah. And on behalf, people are going to see it and be like, that is a lawyer and like, or fuck people on behalf. It's they're so offended that like, I'm going to have to turn up on a bunch of people now because you guys made fun of our guy. Got it. But I don't.

But also the other part is I'm like a doll with fungi. Phallus is not meant to be like the bat signal to like activate a bunch of Manchurian candidates for some dark day of violence. But it is wild again. We always talk about how laughter and ridicule is truly the most potent weapon against authoritarian types. And yeah, a 43-foot tall naked- Yeah, narcissists and Donald Trump. Just reading and seeing what he says on a daily basis, being made fun of is the most humiliating thing that he can imagine.

Yeah. Satire. Quite a pose. They're laughing at us folks. They're laughing at us and that's the worst thing possible. That little thing between the guy's legs, that's us and they're making fun of us. That's what they're trying to say about us. That's not true.

That's the violence you're talking about right there. Right. Right. Yeah. It's it's truly like the attack on the like physical masculinity part. This is a bridge too far. Forget the stuff we say about immigrants or any whatever people we dehumanize. The fact that you did this. No, no, no, we can't stand by this. And apparently this statue is like doing a whole tour. So look out for dates near you You can watch people scream at this

This statue and cry dates on my website. Yeah come through. Yeah, I mean this is not the first time that we've seen a nude Trump as Yeah, much as I may enjoy looking at the nude form of Donald Trump I feel like a lot of other people might not enjoy it based on some of these reactions. But it taps into, I mean, there's like the old emperor's new clothes folktale about the vain emperor who gets exposed walking around naked in front of his constituents. But I think it's also like the way that they depict him, the way they depict Donald Trump.

Right. Like in those NFTs? In the NFTs, in the AI art that they put out of him. He looks like, you know, a Hemsworth, like a long lost Hemsworth brother. Right. Like he's just like shredded up. And so, I mean, showing something that is actually realistic depiction of what he must look like based on how those clothes sit on him, probably is doing a public

service to two people and also like what we've heard from sexual partners. But yeah, so I don't know. I think I'll allow it, Miles. That's where I land. I feel like in a way you probably still would have upset them, even if you were like tighty-whities. You know what I mean? Because I think to your point, right, it's all about projecting this like powerful masculine figure that's like ready for action.

Like, you know, like you said, looking like a Marvel comic book character. So even if you just saw like some regular ass dude in his underwear, they'd be like, oh, fuck, man, don't make it real. But yeah, we'll see. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Again, I think that like they really are taking this place around the country. I don't know if this is like for the election or maybe just generally speaking. But yeah, that that is that is this.

The point of this is going to be a tour at some point. So and again, like you said, not the first time like there were like new Trump statues, like in New York and L.A. and San Francisco a few years ago. There's this always seems to be, like you say, just just low hanging fruit to create outrage on the right. This would be a dope thing, like a dope way to one up your neighbors with the 12 foot tall skeleton for Halloween. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Brought to you by Kool-Aid. This shit is three and a half times taller. Yeah, that would, but you just, you do

need a crane to fully hoist it up. But hey, um, maybe we will see this on, uh, Michael's or one of those websites for arts and crafts. The fact that it's 6,000 pounds is pretty wild. Like that's a real, you like the weight. Yeah. The wind is impressive. I don't know. I did, like, I did assume this was going to be inflatable in some way. Like I did.

They, they built this out of like, I don't know what. Yeah. It's rigid. It's a rigid structure. Does not look overly durable, but yeah. And then $550,000 is kind of a lot. Yeah. But I love again, though, like the sort of that, the way that take is constructed to be like,

first of all, it's like a waste of money or something. It costs $500 and it's going to make people violent. Again, I guess. First of all, won't you think of the economy? Yeah, exactly. What you think of the children, families are driving through, our candidate is a credibly accused sexual predator, but think of the families too at the same time.

Both things can be true. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Hey, I'm Gianna Predente. And I'm Jeme Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. When you're just starting out in your career, you have a lot of questions.

I created this show to bring you conversations that inspire, motivate and help you navigate life a little easier. Every guest brings something special, whether it's about relationships, mental health or finding your purpose. And this week I had the opportunity to interview Sean Mendez, a singer-songwriter known for his heartfelt lyrics and melodies. Sean's music feels like an open diary. Raw, relatable and real. Beyond the music, he's all about using his platform for good, advocating for mental health and the environment. He really comes down to the moment you're prepared to take responsibility for your life

and for everything that goes wrong and for everything that goes right. And it's hard. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you'll not want to miss this one. Hi, I'm Essie Cupp,

and I have spent the last 20 plus years knee deep in politics in the news. I've covered some really tough subjects, from war to genocide to six presidential elections, way too much Trump. And you know what? I need a break, like a mental health break from the news, from the triggering headlines. And I kind of suspect some of you listening out there might need a break too.

So my new podcast is going to be just that, a fun and loose space where I talk to my famous friends and people I admire about all the stuff that consumes us when we're not consumed by politics. I did not really rebel in the 60s. I had no sex in the 70s. I made no money in the 80s. So when true crime came along, I missed that trend too. So many great guests are joining me from Josh Mankiewicz to Larry Wilmore, to Molly John Fass, to Josh Gad. I'm so excited that you have this platform

and I am just like hoping that I don't destroy the platform in its earliest stages. Listen to Off the Cup on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. And we're back. We're back. And all right.

So it's been, it's been a real roller coaster ride in terms of my relationship to insects on this podcast. Now, I think I'm- so last week I was a pro, I said insects, underrated, very entertaining, fascinating, amazing to look at. Then on Monday's episode, I thought they were overrated because we uh, we've had a mosquito just absolutely lighting up my family in a way that I can't, I can't countenance. I will not allow it.

I did catch one the other day though. So maybe these fans, they're we flyers. Use fans, my tip to you. And we got another person who is less on the border about his take on insects. And that is, of course, the aforementioned Donald Trump. So it was recently announced that the government is considering a proposal that would list the Bethany Beach Firefly among the Endangered Species Act. The firefly is just the latest insect to face extinction because we're currently

living through what is being called a bug apocalypse because of a bunch of things. I don't know if we've covered this before, there's something happening called climate change in the world and that is leading to insect populations, global insect populations declining at an unprecedented rate of up to 2% per year. And I mean, I think for the first time we heard is like of the reduction in biomass to was like the first thing we're like, oh, no, they're like, just generally at things are dying and I hear this so much too about the firefly like anecdotally I feel like on Twitter so many people like have you noticed there's not as many fireflies Anymore like in certain parts of the country a lot of people are saying that like when I was a kid they used to be Everywhere and now like I've like really look for them to show my kids So I'm like yes this this tracks with anecdotally what I see on Twitter and just generally when I hear from people. But yeah, that's not a good sign.

I just assumed that there weren't fireflies in Los Angeles, but you know, there aren't, no, I'm not saying that people in LA were, but like people in the East coast and like other places where there are are like, yo, where are the fireflies, what is going on? So generally this is bad for the health of our planet because insects are a critical part of our planet because insects are a critical part of our ecosystem. Their food for animals and fish, obviously critical to pollination.

And with fewer insects, we'll just have less food for animals because also we'll have less food for ourselves because farmers rely on them to pollinate crops. And yeah, so lots of causes, urban areas, pollution, artificial light, but the big one is climate change because of ocean rise and depleting, drying out parts of the planet that used to be chronically wet

is leading to just not as much natural habitat for them. And according to one biologist without insects, our world will slowly grind to a halt for it cannot function without them, which sounds bad, I think. Yeah, no, that's, that's not good. So, which is all to say this is yet another problem that is going to be even worse if Donald Trump gets re-elected. In the final days of his presidency, he upended the rules for the Endangered Species Act and actually made it harder to protect wildlife from threats of human development and global warming by, like, one of the changes allowed for the use of economic analyses when weighing whether or

not a species should be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Instead of like science, they were like, yeah, but how much is that condo projected to make when it goes up on top of that mangrove forest? Yeah. It's also like, I mean, the, the trough, he, I don't know why bugs are always around this dude, maybe because he's like rotting from the inside. I guess that is a sign of decomposition on some level. Well, I remember covered in, he's like mostly hairspray at this point.

Like there was then that like Mike Pence thing when he just had a fly. I was that during, I think, was that the vice presidential debate? The one, the fly was just like, and I live here now on your head and you will talk and nobody cares because they're all looking at a fly on your head and that it is what it is. I'm getting my Mike Pence moments mixed up because I thought it was during the Trump Nancy Pelosi meeting. No, I think that was the one where he tried to teleport out of his body. Yeah. And that was the Astro protection episode. The fly was the VP debate.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So then like recently Trump again had like another weird thing with a fly, but I like based on your, like his past history in terms of being like, I don't like the department of interior or endangered species or living things. Generally, uh, this clip I think kind of tracks with just how he's saying,

I will end all bug problems. Remember there's a hat that's made that sells like crazy. Don't worry, a fly's butt. Oh, I wonder where the fly came from. See, two years ago, I wouldn't have had a fly up here. No? You're changing rapidly, but we can't take it any longer. Remember this, Eddie.

Okay, so we can't- So first of all, I want to, so interested to hear what hat he was gonna talk about there, but- Yeah, what the- They say there's a hat for sale. They say there's a hat for that. What the fuck is he saying?

Turns your hair green. I don't like, see, two years ago, I wouldn't have had a fly up here. These are these are these other moments that came from where you have to look at what this man is saying and being like, is he okay? He said to what happened two years ago, that you wouldn't have had a you were in less of a dire state of decomposition. So you weren't attracting flies. And then but they're changing rapidly.

We can't take it any longer. That's like the kind of language he uses like with immigration. I think it's immigration related. I think he's saying immigrants are bringing flies. I don't know. I need the whole, the whole, we used to not have flies. He wouldn't say that based on what he's saying. He's like, yeah, they wouldn't. They weren't flies. There were no bugs before people came in here on the border. So two years ago that wouldn't have happened. But now I'm like two years ago, I don't even you're you weren't president two years ago. But hey, the the the I guess the insect nemesis continues to present a threat to him. But then, like on the Today show, when they played that clip, they were

like, Oh, that's charming. Yeah. I mean, that was a, so that was an old one. The today show played an old, that was like back in 2016. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's running for president.

So, but just before we get there, I mean, obviously he is anti science pro condo development. You know, he just wants everything to be coded in a fine layer of condos and, you know, fuck any insects that that right. Alex is a backdrop is the most Toronto landscape. Uh, most condos. What's the bug situation? How many bugs you got though?

Yeah. You know what? There's flies and I don't think it would have been here two years ago. Yeah. Damn condos. See, see. So reports suggest that if Trump got into office again, he'll once again fuck with the department of the interior, presumably just Institute the same terrible policies

he had before, but also it just seems like he hates insects. He, when he first got into office, he undid an Obama era ban on bee killing pesticides in 2019, which one environmental group called nothing short of reckless. And he did that just two weeks after his department of agriculture decided to stop tracking the health of bees. Like at a time when people were really worried about like honeybee population collapse around the globe and He was just like you don't like it fuck that. Yeah, what I think cuz back then his whole sort of way of deciding policies

Like well, what did Obama do? I'm against it. Yeah, like this is these are for like bees do like we fucking need is like I'm against it Alright against bees We fucking need is like, I'm against it. All right. Against these. OK, you're against. I got a A plus. Are you against clean air?

Yeah, I'm against that, too. If Obama was for it, I don't care. I don't care. Yeah, the bike. Jesus Christ. Every single thing he's he has lost his grip on reality. And now he's like, I don't know, maybe day one shifts his entire focus on the insects that he dislikes. Yeah. He does seem to frequently just get distracted by insects that are around him

when he's up on stage and just start swatting at them, in a way that suggests that he's never encountered an insect before. Like he doesn't know how to swat at an insect. He does like a weird conductor thing with his hands. Well, look, I think when you're that rich and you've probably never been outside growing up, like you were like, oh, bugs, they're usually not here on the 85th floor where I live. Yeah. Anyways, so yet another reason, probably bad for the future of humanity if he gets, gets back into the White House. Jesus Christ. All right, Alex, what a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist today. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good

stuff? Yeah, man. I'm always a flex on TikTok and Instagram and then Alex HG on Twitter and then you know coach ma black available on prime on video for the Americans It's not available in Canada yet.

But yeah, it sounds like a wild, wild one. Yeah, especially for, I mean, I was such a wrestling fan growing up too. Me too, me too, to know what's going on behind the scenes is interesting. Yeah, super dark. Absolutely. But thank you guys for having me, man. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
