Fernandez yes how are you doing yesterday I shared a piece of advice a piece of me on Twitter that my abuela's name is

first name to their last name yeah like my homie from high school Yusuf Yusuf there you go or my third son Brian O'Brien yeah Brian O'Brien yeah yeah but you gotta Or my third son, Brian O'Brien.

Brian O'Brien? Yeah. Yeah, but if it's O'Brien O'Brien, that would be sick. O'Brien O'Brien. Like Yusuf Yusuf is a flex. Like if his name is like O'Henry O and then Brian middle name. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

His middle name is just the apostrophe. Wait, is O'Henry a candy bar? Also a short story writer. Is O'Henry a candy bar? Man, short story writers used to be. Yeah, is O. Henry a candy bar? Also a short story writer. Is O. Henry a candy bar? Man, short story writers used to be... Yeah, it is. What the fuck is in O. Henry? I don't know.

I think it has caramel. And that's all I know. Well, Dani, it is so wonderful to have you back. Oh, thank you. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, I want to talk about something that we won't be talking about today because- We just don't know. We don't know. It hasn't been released yet. As of this recording, they have not released the Mueller report. And so you guys can go read all 400 pages of it with like 50% of it redacted right

now. Just let us know. That's probably what we're doing as you're listening to this, but it was not out as we are recording this. So we'll probably possibly drop some extra material in the coming days as we are able to read through that shit. We're going to talk about a couple of the things we're telling our listeners about today, such as that Carl's Jr. is coming with the CBD burger on 420,

our first CBD burger as a species? Yeah, I guess for fast food, yeah. This is new ground. All right. It's only going to be available in Denver, but oh well. So get to Denver on 420. We're going to talk about Beyonce's new album that just dropped and the new documentary on Netflix. We're going to talk about Mayor Pete and what he's making Tucker Carlson feel.

How Tucker Carlson is covering Pete Buttigieg and just some backstory about how Tucker deals with his feelings when it comes to homosexuality. We're just going to ask Alabama what the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck, Alabama. All of that. And it is the 20-year anniversary of the Phantom Menace dropping. Oh. Duel of the Faced.

I'll give them that one. Do you remember those? What were they? Dr. Pepper cans or whatever? Pepsi. Pepsi, I collected so many of those. Shout out to my mom who still has my Sebulba Pepsi can at the house. That's like the-

But she threw away the fucking cards. That's like the Jason Kidd rookie card of, like, soda cans. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, these are going to be worth so much. The Phantom Menace Collector Cup from McDonald's? Yo, I have to see because them shits, I remember last time I saw them was like five years ago and I was like, why do you still have this? They're like discolored now. And also like it's evaporated.

So the can has started to like cave in on itself. So there's no pressure in the can holding it out anymore. It's like five shades lighter than it used to be. Yeah, I got an Anakin and a Sebulba. I want to do an unboxing or whatever, but of that kid. Just like open it and drink it. I mean, why not? Fuck it.

Five million views. Yeah. Dani. Yes. We like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? You know, I feel like I've come in twice with a Google search history that was just porn. This is, I feel like I've come in twice with a Google search history that was just porn. But this one is actually for an important reason, because I feel like not everyone is paying attention to what's happening in the UK.

And that is that they're having a porn. Brexit. Oh, sorry. I'm putting that to, this is more important. Okay, my bad, my bad. No, is that actually they're having essentially age ID that will be taken into effect this summer. Yeah, July 15th. And so essentially what that means is everybody that wants to watch porn will, like on YouPorn, Pornhub, like those sites, will have to log in with their credentials.

Not kidding. It will be either a passport, driver's license, or credit card. And the service they're using is MindGeek. And it should alarm you, one, because that could happen here, two, because it's a really easy way to have everyone's porn viewing ship and linked with their identity all in one area for a hacker to hack into, especially if the government is controlling it. I could see that potential candidates over there, it being used against them, like randomly

leaked, accidentally leaked. Right. You know, a lot. And then there's also, they're not blocking the Reddit, which has porn. Twitter straight up has porn. Like, I mean, very porn, very graphic. Every social media platform. Yeah.

Yeah. But those aren't blocked. And so only these are if this change goes into effect that's all twitter will will be just porn it's just porn just teenager sharing porn but but it is really kind of like the consequences of it can be really scary and can be used against uh people i feel like if it is hacked and leaked and also just i mean of course everyone's like well we already know the government's watches. But now it's like really centralized being able to see what you're watching.

Well, it's funny that the people who are the advocates for this law are they're so focused on like it's just too easy for children to come across pornography. And it's going to continue to be because it's on Twitter, Tumblr. No, Tumblr blocked it. But Reddit and Imgur are not blocked. Exactly. And also, the search for pornography is the birthright of most adolescent kids in some level. Right.

At least boys. I can speak from nasty-ass boys. No, I totally watched porn when I was a teenager. Like, I ran into porn when I was a teenager. That sounds like I've met it on the street. What's up, porn? Oh, shit. What are you doing here?

And I'm sure the generation before me had Playboys and would stash them under that. It's not. Right. Well, also, they say, we hope that the introduction of this age verification will help in protecting children, making it harder for young people to accidentally come across online pornography. Whoops. Yeah. Yo, these are people who are trusting their children's

explanation for why they're looking at porn way too much they're like oh i just i was trying to play minecraft i was on yahoo uh just looking at the the news for the day and then this just popped up i was playing a super nes emulator playing earthworm Jim. Right. And suddenly this dude has nasty penises. I don't know, Mom. And in terms of, like, this is not going to work. The only thing this is going to do is increase, like, young people's tech literacy so that they're able to get around this, which they're already more tech literate than people over the age of 18.

So they're going to fuck this thing way up. Like it'll be so easy for them to get around. And you're just basically going to be collecting the porn watching habits of all of your private citizens. Well, that's the thing. When it's centralized like that, and just in like the puritanical kink shaming world we live in, like what happens to somebody who,

like if God forbid there were a leak of this information, the damage to somebody's whatever, because of this, I just feel like people, you know, people could be outed. Yeah. My biggest,

yeah. Another concern would be like, say if a woman is running for office or, you know, running in and it's leaked that she, you know, and she stands up for sexual harassment or things and it's leaked that she's into kink or rough sex or whatever, which is consensual, but in their minds,

they're like, oh, look, she like stands up about rape, but she's okay with this thing about getting choked or whatever. And it's like, it's, I could see this, I don't know. It would be very interesting to see what happens this next upcoming years. And if that is going to be implemented in any way over here. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, my God. I don't know. I mean, who knows? Did you really just say you don't know? I mean, no. Do you know our country? Of course. What I'm saying is it's just the powers that be with pornography in this country.

You know, I feel like I think porn can get people to get together. Porn unites people. Unite. There's one other thing that I wanted to address about this and that is some of the moms on Facebook are like, yeah, but it'll make it harder for pedophiles to like get a hold of child porn.

I'm like, you porn and porn hub don't have that. They would be shut down. Like they make millions of dollars having regular porn and like adults. They follow the rules. There's no way they're going to get involved in that. And that's completely illegal. You'd have to go on some back channel or black web thing.

So no, that's actually not helping it at all. This is with legal porn sites. Right. If anything, too, like social media, porn that is like native to social media, I think that's a place you're more likely to come into some unregulated, weird, creepy shit. Oh, true. Because it's anonymous. I remember when Vine was a thing, and I didn't know there was porn all up in Vine with all these weird-ass hashtags people used to get to it. The shit will continue.

Yeah. But, yeah, I don't know. That's why I was looking at porn, okay, everyone? That's why. It was for the articles. Yeah, because I'm checking somebody's privacy. I am a porn advocate. Porn watcher. That's my it was for the articles. Yeah, because I'm checking somebody's privacy. I am a porn advocate. Porn watcher.

That's my superhero name. Porn is always at the very forefront of technology when it comes to anything. Like when films were first invented, when film was first invented, you know, you were talking about past generations. Me and my friends used to watch stag films in the garage, just projected on a reel-to-reel. No, but when film was first invented, among the first things that was filmed was porn. And the beginning of the internet was mostly driven by porn and people realizing how much money they can make off of porn. And Blu-ray, baby.

VR is surviving, I i feel like largely because of porn has pushed its technology yeah they used to have the um tech like the big what was the tech c c s c s like alongside the porn uh thing and like the porn conference comic-con of porn like in vegas on the same week week on purpose because they were kind of going back and forth trading secrets, basically. But anyways, yeah, you're right. It was totally easy to get around it by VPN and other things. So I don't know why they're doing it. Moms on Facebook are not going to solve this with their knowledge of technology.

Just VPN it. Yeah. You're like, I'm in America. Right. They're going to have to prevent all VPNs from ever existing in the UK. What is something you think is overrated? Ghosting. I just think like everyone online seems to be like joking, like talking about it.

And I feel like this is my cross to bear. This is my brand and my message is I think that it's really shitty and I think like people make a lot of excuses for ghosting and I think I was on um Culture Kings and I talked about it for like 30 minutes but I just as someone like I feel like a lot of times people will be like well I have anxiety or I have depression which are two things that I have um and that's why I couldn't that's why I ghosted them. And I'm like, but you don't care about the person on the other end that might also have that as well. Like what about that person's feelings? So I just, I see it a lot and I see it. I think my generation makes a ton of excuses of why it's okay. And I don't think it's okay. Yeah. And no

one's going to change my mind. Thank you. Yeah, your brand is ghost porn. Don't ghost people. Anti-ghost porn. Anti-ghost porn. It's like Ghostbusters porn. People showing up when they say they're going to be there. Porn except people show up when they say they're going to be there. And that's it. I'm an advocate.

I like a punctual porn star. Punctuality porn. Well, I mean, yeah. I guess it's too easy for people to just ghost. Yep. Porn. Well, I mean, yeah, I guess it's too easy for people to just ghost and not really think of like your own character or like what that says. I mean, I get it. Obviously, if you're

overwhelmed with anxiety or something or whatever you're struggling with, that's a certain issue. But I think also, too, if I know people who just ghost because they're fucking lazy. You know what I mean? And that's lazy ghosting. Get it out of here. And we can't tell the difference between that. respond and say hey sorry overcome by crippling anxiety or like something like that just to let them know that you're going through something like it's taking

advantage of the like sort of impersonal nature of what we have right to like communicate with each other and it's just like we need to do better than that like what whether it is like, you know, pushing past your boundaries and being like, this is uncomfortable thing to say, but this is how I'm feeling. And like, let's just not talk for a couple of weeks or something like that. Yeah. Just like do it. You'll feel better, too. It's the it's just a thing of respect. Yeah.

I think it's like a complete lack of respect for the other person, especially if the person gave you their body. Like that is such a intimate thing. I think it's like a complete lack of respect for the other person, especially if the person gave you their body. Like that is such an intimate thing. And I just feel like, yeah, I'm going to have more conversations about it. Yeah. I'm going to bring it into the light. Anti-ghost squad. You know what I mean?

The ghost needs to respect the living. Yeah. You can just appropriate that Ghostbusters logo. Yeah. And just if you have like a dating profile, just do the little circle with the red line and the ghost emoji. Be like, yo, no ghosts. Yeah. Yeah. And just if you have like a dating profile, just do the little circle with the red line. No ghost. And the ghost emoji, be like, yo, no ghosts. Right.

Not interested. Call me fucking Dr. Venkman. Wow. What is something you think is underrated? Oh, you know, being kind. No, I'm just kidding. Not ghosting. That'd be funny if I, being kind.

I rewatched the Munsters. One, I tweeted a pic of Lily Munster that like everybody,, I'm fine as hell, Yvonne DiCarlo. The OG Lily Munster? Yeah, did you see that pic I tweeted? Oh, it was hot. But anyways, The Munsters, I love the Addams Family. Love them. And they're getting a lot of traction right now

because they just were announced as having a new animated show with Oscar Isaac in it. But I went back and I watched The Munsters and it is like classic TV sitcom writing. Oh, yeah. Super funny. Like, I just I love it. And anyways, it's on Netflix. So go watch The Munsters.

Oh, the whole series is? I think so. Damn. It was. Oh, shit. That's the photo. Oh, yo. Wait, hold on. hold on, Dan.

Bring that photo. Whoa. Is that for real? That's not real. That's her? I mean. Or is that some fan art? That's got to be fan art.

They didn't have spider web bikinis like that. Well, maybe not, but she's definitely done pinup portraits. Good for her. I mean, it's funny. Now that you mention it, as a kid, that was the one show in black and white that would come on the TV that I would actually watch because it was easy to like understand.

It was so funny. It was funny to me. Other shows that would come on, like I Love Lucy, I was like, okay, I'll watch a little bit, but because they were monsters,

I was like, yeah, okay, it's Frankenstein. Grandpa Monster is one of the, like when I see a picture of him, I'm like, oh yeah, that was my childhood. I watched that dude all the time. Like Grandpa Monster is one of the, like when I see a picture of him, I'm like, oh yeah, that was my childhood. I watched that dude all the time.

Like Grandpa Monster, very specific memory. Oh man. Yeah, man, her picture is something. Grandpa Monster. All right, so check out the monsters, everybody. Yeah, go watch it. Classic TV sitcom writing. I was about to be like, yeah,

and they're making a comeback because on Inside the NBA, they keep saying, you rang? Whenever this dude on the 76ers plays because he's like 7'4". Is that from the Munsters? That's from the Addams Family. I am proving your point. And finally, what is a myth?

What's something people think is true you know to be false? Okay, this one is um people of color are taking writers jobs i see that a lot on twitter especially in the writing community uh that is not true check the stats um yeah so we got some stats this was on more than 200 series in the 2016-2017 season they haven't come out yet with the 2017-2018 but just 13.7% of television writers were people of color. That means 86.3% were white. 86.3%. And just a reminder, we make up over 40% of the population. UCLA every year comes out with their annual Hollywood diversity report.

So for 20... This is for last year. The number of shows created by people of color has risen to 9.4%. We did it. 9.4%. Awesome. I mean, but when does it become unfair for the whites?

So this goes on, I got a couple more stats for you. I just want to really drive this home because I see this all the time and I see people being like, I lost my job to a diversity hire. I lost my, it's creating hire I lost my it's creating like a race war amongst uh of like writers and actors yeah you hear I know I hear actors and people talk like that kind of shit but you know because like because I didn't get it you know I didn't get it um leads let's talk about acting leads played by people of color in the top performing films increased from 13.9% to 19.8%. That means 80% are still white. 80% of leads in top performing films are still white. And this honestly goes

on forever. I actually, to tie this in, I wrote in a book that came out this year called The Good Immigrant USA. It was a follow-up to The Good Immigrant that came out in the UK that Riz Ahmed wrote in, Coco Khan wrote in. It has a bunch of essays. And so I also quoted in there, I think one of the former UCLA ones that was 2016 that was talking about Latinx roles. And we made, in the entire year, they looked at every single platform, including streaming platforms, including cable. We only made 5.8% of all speaking roles. 5.8%. And I think 2018, we got bumped to like 12% still.

I think people are mistaking the emphasis that people are putting on the rise of people of color in creator roles as like to overlook what the actual larger statistics are. Because a lot of the examples are like, oh, cool, that person got a show. That's a black show. This is a Latinx show. This is an Asian show. And it's a story because it's noteworthy.

Right. Because it's a thing. And then so people are like, oh, so I guess they've taken over. Right. And I also think, I mean, there is, if you're used to a world where it is 95% white actors, some white actors aren't going to get roles that used to get roles. And that's a correction that needs to happen, unfortunately.

I mean, if you even played it by the straight stats, then maybe only 70% of roles should be white. If you're trying to reflect society at large. But at the end of the day, the number of people of color are becoming a larger and larger demographic in this country. And again, look what happens. People watch shows that have diverse

cast. Oh yeah, those were actually the highest. That is another thing that UCLA found was... Shout out to us. Did you go to school there? No. Okay. She's a big fan of Wooden yeah it's good business kid yeah because you relate to more you have a wider demographic to pull from yeah people have been turning down money to be racist in hollywood for a long time yeah like that's that's a fact now granted they probably were just like, you know,

clinging to what their instincts were telling them because they were just, you know, well, this makes me feel better as somebody who has grown up watching these things. And they were like, you know, using past results to just dictate everything they were doing in the future. That's how they were justifying it to themselves. But they were essentially actively turning down money.

To be racist, let's talk about Carl's Jr. Come with the CBD burger on 420. Switch it up on me like that. Yeah, I'm sorry. I had to. Man, you're switching lanes. That's right. Carl's Jr. is doing it to us.

They just dropped this on us out of nowhere. So it's going to be a cheeseburger. The Rocky Mountain High Cheeseburger Delight. Hell yeah, bruh. You fucking pumped for this, doggy? Because I'm not. Right. I mean, look, I love that.

Shout out to Carl's Jr. I love the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich. Big fan, big fan. Long time, first time. But I think what's more interesting is that we're seeing a fast food company trying to actually introduce CBD into their menu. That's interesting. Again, you know, CBD for people who are uninitiated. It isn't psychoactive.

Yeah, it doesn't get you high. You can't get that high where you suddenly be like, do you guys hate me? It's just going to, you know, it'll soothe you. But I think it's more just, this is obviously just a fun spectacle because it's only being sold in one location. If you know the Carl's Jr. on 4050 Colorado Boulevard in Denver, Colorado. It's going to be packed. Get ready because 6 a.m. Mountain Time, that motherfucker will be on sale for $4.20. Yeah, it won't get you high yeah but like everyone that goes to carl's jr is already high so i feel

like what is this because yeah you're gonna be high then you're gonna eat that cbd burger and you're gonna be like oh my joints nothing happened yeah you're like oh my sciatica i mean this now let me describe the burger okay it is a double cheeseburger. Two beef patties with Santa Fe sauce. Hemp infused. Oh, so they took the Santa Fe sauce and infused that with CBD oil. Then pickled jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, and crisp cut fries. Okay. In the sandwich.

So when we say it's not psychoactive, because I've never done CBD. Oh, you got to, man. Oh, bro. But it is – it relaxes you. They say that like it promotes a feeling of well-being. Okay. You're more relaxed. It doesn't seem to be – have a psychological impact, but it's not a thing where you actively get high.

Yeah, it's like a physical more – I mean, again, I think, look, if you really want to see – I would probably buy two of these things, eat it sober, and see how you feel. Right. But the diarrhea might sort of, you know, obscure the actual effects of the CBD oil. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry clark versus angel reese on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and so is beyonce she dropped a live from her, from Baychella from a couple years ago. Homecoming. Homecoming. Miles was playing it in the office this morning. For those of us not fortunate enough to be at the show. Yes.

Soundtrack's pretty good. Fucking great. Well recorded and yeah, coincides with the Netflix documentary that, I mean, I'm saving that for 420. I need something to sit down and watch. I love that she hopped from HBO to Netflix, and now I just want, like, CBS All Access to get her to be, like,

to pull up their stats. Disney Plus. Yeah, Disney Plus. Yeah, exactly. Who knows the power? But it's just funny, like, when you watch the trailers and stuff for the Netflix thing, I was telling Jack, like, her, like, aura and her, like, the myth of Beyonce is so big, the shadow she casts, that you

could just do the most pretentious shit to cut together in a Beyonce thing. Such as? Like put Maya Angelou- Reading one of her poems or reading her work. And you're just like, yep. Yeah. Because it doesn't feel like bullshit. Yeah.

Which sounds like the best job to have. You're like, no, this is what I want. Yeah. Because it doesn't feel like bullshit. Yeah. Which sounds like the best job to have. You're like, no, this is what I want. Yeah. We're going to have a recording of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Right. You know what I mean? Over a slow motion shot of me walking down the hallway. Right.

Exactly. You have to have absolute. And you're like, yep. Full blown charisma to be able to pull that shit off. Let's talk about Mayor Pete. Yeah. Petey Butts. He is, Mr. Buttigieg is, you know, he's doing well.

He's gone from outsider to now being third place in the polls, even though he's only 9%, I think, right, in that poll. Three months ago, 0%. A few months ago, like 3%. Now he's at 9%. Yeah, and he's been dealing with a lot. There were people heckling him in Iowa the other day at an event. And he's just rolling with the punches.

Seems like he's got his head on right. But Tucker Carlson seems to have a, I don't know, he has a problem with Pete Buttigieg. Or he has his eye on Pete Buttigieg. I don't know how to, just listen to this. This is him on Tucker Carlson's show the other night. His opening monologue was about Pete Buttigieg and sort of how the media is just ba-da-ba-ba-ba loving him. Yes. A real renaissance man.

He's like Beto's smarter brother a little bit. And he's so smart to try to channel Obama. The second coming of Obama, huh? We'll see about that. My prayers may have been answered if that's true. The draw to this point has been young, fresh, positive, and a change agent. This guy is chicken soup for my soul. Chicken soup for my soul. Even by the naughty standards of the news media, this is a new level of political commitment. They don't just want to vote for this guy. They want to consume him like a hearty stew

every last drop of buddha judge yum they're all in what i'm sorry what so yeah he goes from you know having it seems like he's making a commentary on the media's obsession to like purring and doing like a weird like visceral feels very much like him dancing the line of like sexualizing their like obsession with him because he thinks it's gross that democrats are supporting a guy who's gay but like not coming out and saying that just being like you really like yeah i don't think he's walking the line he's just basically in his mind he i think he felt he was overt right they just want to consume him like a party stew right and i don't know this is something that made me curious about is how republicans will deal like they they probably

won't overtly you know make voices like high-pitched voices, and tease him like that. But will this be the way they do it? Go about it? I don't know. Just trying to do some weird subtextual shit? I mean, there was someone on, one pundit who I think was a conservative pundit, said something to the effect of, well, Pete Buttigieg is so unusual that a lot of voters are probably going to flock to Trump if he gets the nomination.

So they are using very coded language, you know what I mean? Because he's diametrically opposed to the Christian conservative right that is fueling Trump's whole candidacy and presidency. So it seems like they already are trying to do that. But again, I think because, you know, he's actually able to address the weird fear mongering that conservatives drum up about homosexual men. And he's able to like answer that and completely dismantle those arguments. Right.

They're having trouble finding a way to try and paint him in a bad light. Yeah. Aside from doing stuff like this. Right. So this made us curious about, you know, what Tuckerlson's past has been when it comes to addressing homosexuality and uh miles you dug up this clip where he claims well i guess we can just play yeah i mean this is this is something that like um on wonkette they were pointing out like it's true like he has this weird he always has something to say about trans people or gay men and things like that right um

and in 2007 around the time uh that senator larry craig went through his controversy in the airport restroom um tucker carlson goes on msnbc and like the context of this conversation is about larry craig but in it you hear tucker carlson give his own anecdote about his experience with homosexuals in a bathroom right having sex in a public men's room is outrageous it's also really common i've been bothered in men's rooms i think really yeah i think you know what let me just say you've been bothered in public restrooms because i know i haven't i have i been bothered in public rest? Yeah. No, I haven't. I have. I got bothered in Georgetown Park when I was in high school. Yes. Wow.

And let me just say, let me just say, actually, I mean this. What did you do, by the way? What did you do when he did that? I went back with someone I knew and grabbed the guy by the, you know, and grabbed him. And did what? Hit him against the skull instead, actually. And then the cops came and arrested him. But let me say.

So you are a gay basher yeah and you're assaulting this man for trying to which this is a thing i have a hard time so after right after that clip came out everyone was like what the fuck did tucker carlson just say on msnbc his response was let me be clear about an incident I referred to on MSNBC last night. In the mid-1980s, while I was a high school student, a man physically grabbed me in a men's room in Washington, D.C. I yelled, pulled away from him, and ran out of the room. 25 minutes later, a friend of mine and I returned to the men's room. The man was still there, presumably waiting to do to someone else what he had done to me.

My friend and I seized the man and held him until a security guard arrived. Several bloggers have characterized this as a sort of gay bashing. That's absurd. And an insult to anybody who has fought back against an unsolicited sexual attack. I wasn't angry with the man because he was gay. I was angry because he assaulted me. He said that he slammed that dude's head. And laughed about that shit. because he assaulted me. He said that he slammed that dude's head. Yeah.

And laughed about that shit. Along with Joe Scarborough and the other dude from MC, like the toxic bro party. Right. I mean, that was, how far we've come from 2007? Yeah.

Very little. But it's just, then he, so at the end of that clip, actually his original thing that we played from MSNBC, he said, right after he says,

and the cops came and arrested him and right after he says, but let me say that I'm the least anti-gay right winger you'll ever meet. That was his like defense. Yeah. And he probably thinks that's true. He just thinks it's weird and gross.

Also like in gay hookup culture, people were meeting in bathrooms because homosexuality was so vilified that people had to, they couldn't go to normal spaces to meet each other. Right. So again, he's just like, yeah, doing what the predatory gays do. Right. Trying to, you know, and this whole thing was very, very odd.

But again, not surprising considering his past comments. And then he had like another thing where he was talking about how he's like, was making, saying SNL shouldn't have made fun of ISIS. Instead, they should have done like a sketch about like

creepy transgender bathrooms. Uh-huh. He's like, that would be interesting. That would be comedy. To mock our enemies? Uh-huh. Oh, he was upset about mocking ISIS? Yeah.

Okay. He's, again, this is, it's all very, very confusing. But I think this is, we're starting to see, I don't know, if this is the strategy they're taking up against Buttigieg. I imagine that they'll be hitting him on masculinity because I feel that they often do that with with other candidates as well. And especially with female candidates is like, can she handle being in the office? What if she cries? Right. You know, can she handle being sexually harassed for most of her life?

We don't talk about that. handle being sexually harassed for most of her life we don't talk about that right um so i'm i that is i think what you'll mainly be seeing from trump honestly and his his comments about an insult about him will be not being man enough because he already says that about other men in the right and even the the people who were heckling like there was like a weird uh satan and jesus like costume show that was going on, and people were yelling about Sodom and Gomorrah while he was talking. It's just, I mean, that's precisely the threat he poses. So this is the response you're seeing from the people who are, like, threatened by this.

Yeah. That somehow this man could show people or just do away this myth that, you know, that all homosexual men are a certain way. Yeah, and they will focus on his military service and trying to debunk that he did anything serious or they'll drag people out of the woodwork that claim to have served with him and claim he was bad.

What they did to John Kerry, because the nomination of John Kerry, you couldn't have a veteran who put like, put his life on the line, like, for the country be the other guy's candidate. You had to, like, put a lie to that. So, I mean, with Tucker Carlson, like, questioning the manhood of Pete Buttigieg, that's ridiculous. So, he's going to have to find a way to undermine the fact that Pete Buttigieg is a military veteran. They're probably going to be like, well, he was in the Navy. Right.

So they can then make it like trying to take shots at different branches of the military or some shit. It's interesting, though, because dudes who are cruising in public restrooms are notoriously into guys in bow ties and boat shoes. That's typically like a sign of like somebody that you want to hook up with. Yeah, Tucker. Tucker. All right, let's just check in with Alabama real quick. Yeah, really quick.

Do we have to? Yeah, I think we do, right? So, I mean, God, you remember when it was, when Jeff Sessions vacated his seat to become legal smeagol attorney general, Luther Strange took over. And then people felt like, you know, I think we actually need to have a special election here, figure out who should be there, because there was a lot of controversy about Luther Strange being in there. Anyway, Luther Strange lost.

Trump wanted Luther Strange out, right? No, he wanted Luther Strange. Trump wanted Luther Strange. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, my bad. But then Luther Strange strange lost so he had to kind of be like oh roy moore that's right that's right um so then roy moore won i get you know the primary i guess to to go into the special election go against doug jones and everyone was like all these stories are coming up oh you know roy moore seems to have a history with allegedly

uh courting young women having physical relationships with minors. And people were like, oh, my goodness. The Republican Party is putting their might behind someone with these kinds of allegations. Yes. He ultimately lost to Doug Jones by very little, just barely. Yes. And now it seems like Alabama might be ready for Roy Moore again. it seems like Alabama might be ready for Roy Moore again, because in a recent poll,

we see that Doug Jones has a 45% approval rating with 44 disapproving. And then along with that, they asked if the 2020 Republican primary for Alabama's US Senate seat were held today, for whom would you vote if the candidates were, and they put it all in here, Roy Moore is in the lead. By quite a bit.

By, yes. With the majority being women voting for him? 31% of women. Oh, Lord. And 24% of men. 31% of women? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

So I thought it was wild. Like, looking back, I was like, man, we needed a win so bad that we beat unadmitted child predator and celebrated like it was the Super Bowl. But this dude is that popular still. Yeah. I mean, I think it just shows how partisan the state is, right? Right.

They don't want a Democrat representing them to the point where they're like, honestly, let's give the alleged predator another go. Right. But we'll see. And also, like when you really look at just kind of what 2020 looks like, because this would be for 2020, you have Trump on the ballot, the turnout is going to be lit.

Yeah. So we'll see. I mean, it could go either way, but yeah. Come on, Alabama. Come on, Alabama. Not like, come on, Alabama, but like, come on, Alabama. Yeah. Roll tide, roll. Seriously, Alabama? Are we on, Alabama. Yeah, roll tide roll. Seriously, Alabama. Are we serious, Alabama?

Really? Alabama? Yeah. Meanwhile. Are you sure, Alabama? Alright, and finally, a coffee shop owner in New Mexico was posting some, I guess you would say, hot takes? No. Straight up anti-Semitic bullshit. Oh, right. Yeah, I guess that would say hot takes. No,

straight up anti-Semitic. Oh, right, right. Yeah, I guess that. And found out where, what anti-Semitism gets you in 2019. This man was the owner of a coffee shop called V roast bistro in Albuquerque,

I believe. And anyway, like over some disagreement with his landlord just came out with this like ridiculous anti-Semitic screed on Facebook. Essentially saying shit like, oh, why are Jews always the source of suffering in the world? And saying things like, oh, the Jews, they holocausted themselves with the way they acted. Wait, was this on the V-Rose Bistro Facebook page? No, no, it was on his own. It was on his own.

I mean, still bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His own. And then said, blame Jews for taking over. Well, just the usual anti-Semitic nonsense. And then saying, like, ending it with, by describing Jewish people as, like, fucking animals that deserve everything that happens to them. So this did not go over well with the public because I think, unlike what this person may have believed the climate is in this country, A majority of people aren't down with this kind of shit. Maybe in your little vacuum of like MAGA hat wearing freaks.

Ironically though. So when this came out, he says he was hacked. So it was me. I was hacked. Someone hacked my life. And they said they probably after me because ironically he says he is an anti-Trump vegan.

Uh-huh. No, there's a picture of him. Wait, why is the vegan part? I don't know. This is him and his wife. There's a picture of them.

She has vegan everything on her t-shirt. He seems to be... Wait, does being vegan absolve you of your sins? I don't know. I'm a good person. I am vegan. Also, it's like, my man, you know Trumpers don't exclusively own racism or anti-Semitism either. You know Hitler was really into animals too right yeah right so

again he did all this shit he denied it the the community just basically boycotted the shit out of this business cut to uh like two days ago he came out he's like um i'm going to have to close my shop because you know it's become unsustainable but i'm not closing the shop because he was very clear he to say that it wasn't because of the boycott. It's because it was something his wife wanted him to do for a long time. Okay. Okay. What job does she want him to get then?

Is he just going to not work now? I think just full-time Nazi. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen some people doing that now. Yeah. He's really into cosplay.

He's like, call me Obersturmbannfuehrer. There is a story about Michael and Monica Palumbo in the local news from Albuquerque. The last story about them was a couple who used to be homeless opens coffee shop. So they might have some histories of mental difficulties, but we'll see. Yeah, I mean, I think, again, guys, being hateful doesn't help you in any way. It's only helped the president. Yeah.

And he's loyal to nobody. Right. Yeah, people look at him and they're like, you can do this all the way to the top. Right, and again, this is the reason why people have to speak out against this kind of shit because as society, we owe it to idiots like this to remind them that this shit doesn't fly. Yeah's true so boycott the shit out of people you

hear people saying racist shit you need to say something and let people know yeah yeah black panther 1 billion and captain marvel 1 billion so there you go yeah yeah everyone's trying to stop those drop the fucking bomb okay okay all you trolls thank you the truth all right we're gonna take another quick break we'll be right back Drop the fucking bomb, Dan. Yeah, okay. Okay, all you trolls. Thank you. Hit him with the truth. All right, we're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And it is the 20-year anniversary of The Phantom Menace, episode one. I want to play a clip of somebody just about to have their heart stomped on with love. Been here since 4 p.m. Saturday with Bob. You're number two, right?

No, we're both number one. We came together. How do you guys feel right now? Pumping. Nervous as all heck. Yeah, just going. The heart's racing at a million miles an hour. And that's how this movie is going to feel when it's all heck. Yeah, it's just going. The heart's racing at a million miles an hour. And that's how this movie is going to feel when it's gone by.

So that was somebody who, in 1999. Who had been waiting days outside of the movie theater. Wait, how do you know? They might have loved it. They might have. There's people that like it. He sounded like the age of a Star Wars fan who probably didn't like it. Or it's like everybody, right? We saw that first one and we're like,

oh, okay. Yeah. And then you like watch the end. Was that the Podracer one? Because I mean, that got me. Oh yeah. And also look,

Darth Maul was fucking shit up with the force that we were just seeing. He was like picking up debris and like, yeah. Yeah. And his like makeup and his like cool lightsaber.

Yeah. That last fight was dope. I was like, all right, I'm going to see the second one. That's going to be, it was okay. Second was rough. But it was like there was a sort of dawning sense that these were not going to be as good as the other ones. Yeah.

That you could kind of pick up. I was very excited because I grew up in that gap where I was born after the Star Wars films were out. So I was just living off that same VHS box set everybody had with the two flaps on the side that had all three movies in it. Not the THX remastered shits. Okay. The fucking gangster one that had the handwritten star dot shits. Remember that?

The animation. Anyway. Or the illustration. So at first I was so excited because i was like yes this is because i'm just i love star wars and i think it wasn't until the second one came out that i was bothering to entertain that this might not be going the way i thought it was going to be yeah so for a while i was definitely in that that grouping of people who were like that was tight dude and the darth maul his shit turned into a fucking half a lightsaber and still got down. Yeah. Look, we got Duel of the Fates.

Yeah. We got the kid from Jingle All the Way, so. Oh, was Jake Lloyd in Jingle All the Way? Yeah. Oh, shit. He wanted a Turbo Man doll. Yeah. Jamie!

Jamie! Jeremy! I want a Turbo Man doll! Those are my cookies! Oh, man. Sinbad and Arnold Schwarzenegger, they bring them to a back. That was such a good- Dude, where's the reboot of that you know where's that who would you do that with now The

Rock and The Rock would have to be Arnold Kevin Hart yeah I feel like Charlie Day plays the Sinbad anyway yeah I don't know I'm trying to think of like how i feel you know a lot of what there have been a lot of articles about people who grew up with that one like who were very young when that one came out yeah they're like they're bada bada bada loving it yes that's how that's the as good it's on level with four five six well they probably identify with it more because they that's like the one that's like the trilogies they literally were raised on. Can you imagine if you saw that

Padre Sin Sin when you were like five years old? That's how I feel. I brought this up on Nerdificent but that's how I feel about Batman and Robin

because I didn't know it wasn't good until I got older and everyone was like no, that film's not good. Oh shit, that one with Chris O'Donnell?

Yeah, and freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger again as Mr. Freeze. Mr. Freeze. And you have Uma Thurman, Poison Ivy. Because it was so- Nipples.

The nipples, but also it was so comic book-y. It was so for kids in a way that it was colorful and huge stunts and weird costumes. And I loved it. Ice skates that just popped out of his feet somehow. And Uma Thurman doing like a may west impression the whole time so yes man i i think i had that soundtrack oh you know i won that soundtrack at a block party like my neighborhood block party i will always stand yeah because uh i didn't i still think it's good yeah i mean batman forever was a great soundtrack

so why wouldn't batman but that one had a fucking bone thugs and harmony on it look into my eyes and tell me man i should was in there and r kelly also was on there yeah gotham city i definitely have movies that as a kid i thought were good and then i see them again and i still think they're good, even though I know they're not. And I'm like, oh, so this, like my brain, my brain's expectations of movies was, is like formed in a Teen Wolf shaped like prism where I think all movies should cohere to the screenwriting rules of Teen Wolf, basically.

Because I still, yes, I'm like, well, that was a perfect film. I can't, what are you going to say about that? Yeah, Goonies. Goonies, great. Yeah. So, my taste in movies is fucked. Goonies are good enough. Yeah.

Right, boom. Andy! You Goonie! It's our time up here. No, it's our time down here. Damn, that's back when, when like data was enough for representation. And I was like, yeah, shit. Oh, Jonathan Key Kwan, man.

You got me. It's their time up there. It's our time. Brand is one of the underrated psychopaths in the history of film. Like the flip out he has there when she just sends up the Goonies jacket. And then when he tries to murder Brand by throwing him off a cliff. Oh my God. On a bike. Like that's. You're right. That is some next level. Yeah. sends up the Goonies jacket. And then when he tries to murder Brand by throwing him off a cliff, he goes on a bike.

Like that's... You're right. That is some next level. Yeah. That's how they used to haze back in the day. Throw your ass off a cliff. And I think at one point he gets blown off of a toilet by the crazy shit they're doing with pipes

and then lands on his stomach and goes, Mommy. So he's like emotionally, like developmentally stunted. Classic bully. Classic bully. Give it up but can't take it. Can't get blown off your toilet.

Yeah. I miss when every theme song was Kenny Loggins or Cyndi Lauper. Everyone had a theme song for every... We need to go back to that. Every movie should have its own theme song. What kind of dirt did they have on the fucking producers where they were doing everything like yo you know it has to be kenny or cindy oh man those songs still slap yeah look shout out to kenny long is the whole yacht rock era yeah and the songs that were influenced by him like the heat is on

as we as we discussed last week still slap uh you guys give a shit about the nba playoffs nope all right moving on i did i mean look i rage quit i rage quit the nba i used to keep up i mean look i jokingly said when we resigned kobe um but i would say when magic just just did a number on us but anyway i mean look we could talk about it. Wait, when they re-signed Kobe two years ago, the like huge contract. and he was on his way out

and I was like, I get the loyalty thing, but I'm practical with this magic. Yeah, most people in the NBA are. Most GMs and presidents. We're just like,

should we keep this? I mean, this guy's been a good servant to the franchise, but I was like, no, no, no,

no, no. Yeah. I want to keep winning and we mean, this guy's been a good servant to the franchise, but I was like, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. I want to keep winning, and we can leverage this to get some new blood in here, and all the Kobe fucking stans are like, no, he can do no wrong. I'm like the one of the few Kobe-hating Laker fans.

At the very least, you pay them market, like what the market dictates. At worst, you ask them to take a pay cut right for the team so you can sign other players and you'll make it up to them by like making them the president of basketball operations when they retire some shit like that kobe went in the opposite he said give me everything give me all of the money for forever he walked into that negotiation and said all your base are belong to us yeah this by the way it seems like some shit we're just throwing out there but it will be the most

controversial thing ever said on the daily because kobe stands are they they single-handedly like fucked up lebron season i feel like he was just like yo what the fuck it's been a hard time being a laker fan we we got fucking fat you know what i mean with the amount of championships we were winning in that little stretch of time and that has created this like weird inflexibility of the fans to acknowledge that another person come in look are you a laker fan or are you a kobe fan right you know and i think that's where most people nowadays, they're fans of players and not teams. I'm a LeBron fan. I usually root for him wherever

he goes. Just his face on the inside of my arm. Yeah, but of him as a high schooler. You were in early. Yes, I was. But yeah, I mean, it's just a couple storylines. The East is pretty interesting. People are feeling the Sixers,

even though I'd like to see them beat the Nets more than one out of every eight quarters, but that one quarter they had was pretty impressive. People are still sleeping on the Celtics. Giannis is incredible. I think people are sleeping on the Celtics because Bill Simmons does this reverse jinx thing, and he dominates so much of like sports conversation right that he's like i have the celtics aren't very good the celtics aren't very good come on uh and yeah but

i think the sixers and janice are probably the most fun part of the playoffs right now because they're both like you know their ceilings are crazy high i am totally over Golden State. The only question with Golden State is whether they can motivate themselves to dominate like they can, or if they're going to be too bored. Yeah, when you get used to it, it's hard to find the fight. Yeah, Clippers, exciting. They're probably not going to win, but when talking about... It's not Clippers, exciting. They're probably not going to win, but when talking about... It's going to be Clippers. Yeah.

That comeback, I could see people looking at that comeback and being like, that'd be a fun place to play. Like the right star, like Kawhi or someone. Mr. Broken Ribs laugh? Uh-huh. Let's talk about Cheaters, Aunt Becky. Great show. Massimo.

My favorite TV show. man this is they are just every day man they show how like out of touch with the rest of society in the world they are because now the newest tea regarding laurie laughlin and massimo is they have had it with the media treating them like some cheaters and they said they're fair game for jokes and memes they're tired of the memes people stop yo meme them the fuck out of here please uh and there's yeah they're really outraged by people who are saying that they are cheaters they are being destroyed y'all are cheaters first of all and then they say the idea of going to trial is terrifying for lori everything what why why the fuck did she plead not guilty?

That's the whole, that's the dumb shit about this whole thing. Everything comes out in trial, she said. Everything or not that's relevant to the case, she will be under a microscope, and you only have to look at the paparazzi outside the court to know that there is widespread interest in this case. She will lose every bit of her privacy, and that's a shame. This really is a family matter. Oh, family matters.

Cut, cue Urkel. Did I do that? Now, Lori, the other thing is she's really worried about her daughters having to take the stand. She says, Lori is very concerned about what a trial will do to her daughters. It will undermine every accomplishment they have in the future, and it will be part of their story forever. No shit. It's not in their best interest for this to go to trial. And Lori knows it because if it goes to trial, the girls will have to take the stand and be cross-examined by a prosecution that wants nothing

more than to put a notch on their belt oh my god if only there was a way to prevent this from going to trial right and saving yourself additional embarrassment from uh manipulating a system with your means oh wait you could have took the fucking plea deal right also like oh it will undermine every accomplishment they have in the future they already said their goals her daughter like made that video that was essentially like i just kind of want to party i want to go to school so i can like i don't really i'm probably going to drop out after a year but like i just want to go to the parties right yeah don't get me wrong i want to go to college because game days are going to be lit yeah essentially okay um pre-gaming pre-gaming it is it's so all

the other young delta delta delta um it's so clear like what the pro like their family dynamic because she's like oh my god people will see my children and see what dummies they are like basically by putting them on the stand it's just like yo are, this is the problem. You are just protecting them from all conflict, all anything. Like that can't be your primary concern. Yeah. I mean, I think when your parents are going that far to ensure that you don't have to do a lick of work, you're already screwed. It doesn't matter if you have this controversy. Our article last week that said that she's relying on her faith and yoga to cope.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, shout out to- As you do. The, you know- The Lord and Brendan over at- Over at Hilo. Hilo.

Hilo Hot Yoga. At Mod Yoga. Well, apparently things have been a little crazy behind the scenes of Fuller House for a while because we also have a story that's interesting because it could have implications for how people who are accused in the Me Too movement fight back and also because it's funny to look at

just how weird this show was behind the scenes. But Fuller House was, I think it's coming up on its fifth season, fourth season. Oh, they're all blending together. Yeah. But the showrunner, Jeff Franklin, was relieved of his duties.

And it was allegedly like he was accused of making inappropriate comments in the writer's room and describing his own sex life for some reason. Like on a show where all the jokes are like G rated and about like silly things. Is there a child said there's something below G. Right. It's well, there are some weird jokes on there now.

Right. I mean, they've really actually stepped up the shitty writing. I must say. Wait, are there weird jokes? Are there like sex jokes? There's like because it's like now more millennial like you know like it's probably dealing with social media like the kids now are dealing with other things and like the kids back

in the 90s were dealing with right yes um but yeah another thing was that he was known for giving roles to like women he was sleeping with. Yeah. Which happens very often. Ask the female writers to wear bikinis to the pool party? Yeah, he had a pool party, asked the female writers to wear bikinis. So the amazing thing is the way he's fighting back against this really reminds you of how Lori Loughlin's kind of tone way. She's fighting back against her things by proving every suspicion you have about him. He, for instance, with the pool party, he was like, that was a suggestion.

I didn't say they had to wear bikinis. And it's like, yo, you're. I just underlined it, emboldened it. Right. Highlighted it, italicized and then put an asterisk. Please respond that you read the bikini memo. Yeah. And so Franklin's co-showrunner, this dude, Brian Behar,

who remained when Franklin was fired or was asked to leave, Franklin claims that Behar kept a little black book full of details that could be used against him. And he thinks that Behar was the guy who was building the case. And he says he's secretly photographing him with female friends and female employees, which- Way to create a conspiracy about yourself. Yeah.

But also, I don't know if you, it is extremely hard to get these guys. I know everyone thinks it's easy to get these guys out. It isn't, especially when they've been there for a long period of time and have a long history of sexually harassing women and and so i honestly think that even if his co-showrunner did if he if he were asked to come forward and when you're at a studio you have to have you have to have like a list of of things that have happened like i think that's actually helpful to be like

no on this day and this person can verify that and then on this day this happened think that's actually helpful to be like, no, on this day and this person can verify that. And then on this day, this happened because that's what they ask you in HR. So even if you need that to fire somebody. Yeah, he probably want if he was keeping track of him wasn't because he hated. I mean, he might have hated him because he was disgusting to women. Right. But that's a thing that you need. You need evidence. You can't just be like he was doing this. This guy's weird.

Because a lot of times they'll still keep even with evidence. They still keep the guys. Also, they still keep the guys. A lot of the times. Why are you worried about him photographing you with women writers or women employees if you're just standing at a comfortable distance talking to them? But he's taking everything

that a reasonable person would do and trying to spin it in a way that it's malicious. It's like trying to compile evidence about this person's transgressions is now suddenly, oh, he was obsessed with me keeping a little black book. Right. Rather than, oh, yeah, they were documenting my pattern of behavior. Yeah.

And then weren't the people at the studio being like, yo, this dude is a liability. Like Jeff Franklin is a liability. They said he was a walking lawsuit. Yeah. And then he's still, so his whole strategy is just to act like he is the victim of harassment. Yes.

Oh, it sounds like Donald Trump. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's the same shit when people use civility as like code for don't press me about the truth. Right.

Like when people press politicians for the truth and like corner them on shit. Have we no decorum? Oh my God. It's just so uncivilized. Really? Like that. They're trying to hold me accountable for should i say oh god right really what world is this what it's come to yeah now just a couple other details about this dude that i think are

revealing i'm not sure what they're revealing of but other than that i just would not want to be in the same room as him uh he bought the full house house in 2016, the one that was used for exterior shots on the show, which seems fun. He was gonna redesign the interior to make it look like the full house house interior shots, but was so difficult and annoying to deal with that the neighbors were like,

we don't want you to do that. Just get the fuck out of here so he once he was relieved of his duties he was he sold that house but also he at the same time owned the house where the Manson murders happened oh my what that's where he lives

this is fucking residence like look they tore down OJ's house when he like sold that shit they were like yeah this is like haunted by like the memories of what happened here like get the fuck out of there but this dude was just like pretty cool right yeah why are you gravitating towards that pretty rad like you could live anywhere with your millions of dollars and that's where you want to live. Yeah. So. What the fuck? The answer is yes. He lives in the Manson murder house. It's a great just, I don't know.

Conversation ender. Yeah, very specific type of, like somebody needs to remake Sunset Boulevard, that movie with like where the screenwriter like gets his car breaks down in the mansion of like an old silent film star whose career like came to an end and she's just like you know a very interesting toxic character who pays him a bunch of money like someone needs to rewrite that but like for all the toxic fucking

dudes who are like now dinosaurs and just completely outmoded and like living in in the manson family mansion like where the murders were committed like what a fucking creep it's like hey kid i created shows like full house and hanging with mr cooper right yep so that was a good show hanging with mr cooper was good man i used to i was he behind that yeah frank knows how to hand that one well never mind then all is forgiven um yeah but like this this reminds me of when we learned that like oliver stone or like uh oh aaron sorkin like got arrested getting onto a plane with like mushrooms and it's like why do you need mushrooms to write aaron sorkin movies like why does this dude need to be like I'm a sex maniac

like creep to make fuller house and full house like that's like it's just I don't know man it's interesting that that's who is taking the artistic license to be like I'm an artiste wear bikinis over to my house

but it was framed as like a thank you party yeah yeah thank you you all get to wear bikinis over to my house. And it was framed as like a thank you party. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Thanks for the hard work. You all get to wear bikinis. You all get to thank me for making this show. Actually, no, I'm thanking you preemptively for wearing a string bikini. Yes.
