Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 53, episode three Dirt Daily Zeitgeist for Wednesday, October 17th, 2018. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Jack O'Bie.

Do-do-do-do-do-do. Jack O'Bie. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Jack O'Bie. Do-do-do-do-do-do. You're good. Jack O'Bie. Jack.

No. Just joking. That is courtesy of fellow parent Aisha Sissack. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Miles speaks the truth, staying fresh, staying cool, with Zeitgeist fresh and full of miles. And Zeitgeist is the fresh maker. I would sing the whole thing, but I didn't know how to improv the rest. That is from Sort of Profound.

So shout out to you, because that was Sort of Profound, not just a clever name like the Shitty Beatles. Speaking of the Shitty Beatles, I had the Beach Boys song Kokomo stuck in my head all morning because I listened to the latest Punch Up the Jam, which is a great podcast and a great episode of podcast. It's got Gabrus on it. It's a really good one, but they did Kokomo. Holy shit, you guys. that song is really bad uh well we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious stand-up comedian nick vetera i have something to confess i wrote kokomo oh shit this is hey it wasn't that fast so i mean guys i was five when i wrote it so cut me some

fucking slack. I'm in the booth. I think for a five-year-old, Kokomo's pretty good. Yeah, I mean, yeah. For a five-year-old. For some reason, when I was growing up, I thought it was tropical cake melting in your hand, and that is fucking stupid. Wait, what?

What part is that? Tropical cake is not a thing. Tropical cake. It's tropical drinks melting in your hand. But what part of the song is it? Bodies in the sand. Tropical. Copic. Cockroaches? Bodies in the sand. Tropical. Cockroaches?

Tropical cake. I was at a karaoke last night and I realized that it's not called It's Raining Men not It's Raymond. Oh really? Which changes the song. You thought it was just a

It's Raymond! Hallelujah, it's Rayman! And this guy, Raymond, is like, I'm here, everybody! Yeah, motherfuckers! Completely different. Had it all wrong. But anyways, I think our AKAs both got some annoying songs stuck in people's heads.

There's more annoying songs than It's Raining Men and Kokomo? And Kokomo and Baby Shark. Do-do-do-do-do-do. And Mentosong. Did not know about Baby Shark until three weeks ago. Yeah, me neither. You didn't know Baby Shark? I know.

People were going to take my parent card away. It's like a kid's song. But then younger people than me who are like adults now were saying, oh, I knew that as a kid. Right. But I miss that. We had Swing a Little Sweet Chariot. Miles is very old. All right, Nick, we're going to get to know you a swing a little sweet chariot. Miles is very old. All right, Nick, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

But first, we're going to take you guys through what we're talking about today. We're going to remind you what the goal of the show is. We're trying to tell you what the nation is thinking and talking about today, taking a dive into America's and sometimes the rest of the world's, shared unconscious using the headlines, box office reports, what's trending on Google and social media. Today, we're going to start with a Google trend search skim, and then we're going to do a quick culture war report. Actually, not a very quick one, because the right is very fragile, and they want the left to attack them. They need that story to happen, and so they are creating the headlines, even without the reality of those headlines.

So we're going to talk about that and the possibility of a second civil war. War, and we're going to talk about Mike Pompeo's face during his meetings in Saudi Arabia, because it's very friendly and pleased and happy to be there. We're going to talk about Lindsey Graham's comments on Fox and Friends, and finally, we have figured out how to make Miles give a fuck about climate change. We'll see, man. Yeah. Oh, you don't care? You're not in?

Apparently, beer- I like the hot weather. Beer could double in price- What? Because of global warming. Wait, what the fuck did you say? Yeah. So Miles is hot.

He's heated about that. All right, maybe I'll believe it now. Beer's doubling because of the sunspots. Nick, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Let's us get to know you a little better. I don't know if it's revealing or not. I just, what kind of bug is this, was my last question.

I feel that comes up a lot. Yeah, right. What kind of bug is this? What kind of spider? What is this bug bite from? Yes. I get that a lot. Yeah, what was the bug?

Walk me through this. What did you see? The recently is my mom Yes. I get that a lot. Yeah, what was the bug? Walk me through this. What did you see? The recently is my mom sent me a picture of a bug. Usually it's a bug I find. Right, yeah. But my mom sent me a picture of the bug. I'm looking up what sort of bug it is. So breaking news over the weekend,

some shit that my wife found on the internet, so it has to be true, says that Los Angeles, going forward, one of the great things about Los Angeles' climate, if you haven't been here, is that there aren't a lot of mosquitoes, and that's about to change, because there's a new strain of mosquito

that is very pale. You can't see them, but they bite the shit out of your legs. And they thrive in dry climates or something? Yeah, I guess they thrive in dry climates, and also our weather is changing. Yeah. So the mosquitoes are coming for Angelenos. If you hang out with me, you won't get bit by mosquitoes because they're all biting me.

Right. Yeah. You got whatever that blood type is. There is a documented record of the type of blood type that mosquitoes prefer. And my wife has that. The only thing that works is uh there is like a natural one i i figured out in africa that worked pretty well that was like a lemony one oh and also yeah but before that i was using like military grade deet yeah that was corrosive to plastic

and i remember the first time i had it like i was like back when ipods were a thing i sprayed it near me and my screen was all like fucked up and it was all the droplets of deet had just like ate up the plastic on the screen i was like oh well this probably works then yeah it's fucking corrosive fine old tumor legs gray but the mosquitoes are gone hey you used to just call them cankles uh miles is usually glowing in the dark at any after sundown. You know another search history thing that kills me is that I'll put in like, Earth wide how? Right, very basic.

Like I don't even put in real sentences anymore. I just vomit the gist of what I wanted to ask. What was it, Earth wide? Me and my roommate were trying to figure out circumference of the Earth because, you know, we're wanted to ask. What was it? Earth wide? Me and my roommate were trying to figure out the circumference of the Earth because, you know, we're about to sail. And I think I go, let me ask Siri or whatever.

And I search history and I go, Earth wide how? And he got so mad at me. He was like, that's how you're asking the internet? And you know what?

I got my answer. Right. Yeah, like, so who really lost? But you had the wherewithal to articulate the circumference of the Earth prior to Googling it that you just go, Earth how wide? Wide how.

How though? Why, how, when. When. Earthwide when. Right. How much Earth is there around? Yeah, I do speak to my search engines and write to my search engines like they have some sort of deficiency. Oh, I do the Ask Jeeves type thing, full-on sentence.

Full sentences? Like specifically what I need to know. Good, sir. Yeah. Good day to you. Good, sir. How do you make a lasagna casserole, sir? I will posit this query to you.

Just a lot of preamble. Yeah, exactly. I'll posit this query to you. Earthwide howl. Dear Google, I hope the zeros and ones are finding you fancy today. That's like when I ran a website, one of the top Google search trends would be www.thenameofthewebsite.com. It's just like, there's that. But it was a shrinking part of the populace

as all the old people died off. Yeah. That is funny when you start typing something in and you get that, like, it fills in. Right. And you're just like, wow, a lot of the world's real sad. Because you start typing, you'd be like, why? And then it fills in, should I go on?

Or like, oh God, why is this bug bite bleeding so much? Yeah, the questions that fill in around pregnancy are crazy and very depressing. And filled with misspellings. Am I pregnat? How do baby get made? Am I gregnant? How get out baby? Right right when baby go out do go face down when baby go out nick what is something you think is overrated i think avocado wow okay yeah okay i'm tired of it i'm just it was fun for a minute it was cool when it was just guacamole

i'll be honest avocado it's the chrissy teigen of food when it was just guacamole. I'll be honest. Avocado, it's the Chrissy Teigen of food. Wow. What does that mean? Hey, it means, hey, I like it. All right? I don't need it in everything. That's good.

Avocados. There was some new debate about whether or not it's vegan or some shit. I couldn't understand why. How can it not be vegan? I just saw a you know there was like some new debate about whether or not it's vegan or some shit i couldn't understand why i did not be vegan i just saw a headline where there was like debate about whether or not is vegan well they're some people believe they don't yeah right so they're eggs out of a tree right i mean i can hear them screaming when i cut them open but that's just me right those might be the voices those are rabbits i keep telling you fruits it's it's in everything

and i think for a while it was guacamole i was that's great you know and then it just became now everything i get first of all obviously they have to mine it from the the soul of the earth because you know right they gotta charge an extra five bucks if you want it yes on anything so it's obvious cut it out of my salad cut it out of my salad. Cut it out of my taco. Listen, it's a luxury I can't afford at this point. Sure, sure. It should be a special occasion.

And now it's starting to feel like, you know how people don't like oysters that's slimy? I love oysters. I love oysters. Yeah, yeah, but people don't. But people don't because it's starting to feel like a slimy green thing I'm putting in my mouth. Wow.

It's getting a snot sort of feel. The sea is blowing its nose into your mouth. That is the perfect. That was their original branding slogan. Oysters. Didn't take. Have the sea sneeze in your mouth. I think the reason they're arguing about it being vegan or not is because it requires migratory beekeeping, some of them.

Like a fruit that requires migratory beekeeping. Is that vegan friendly? Because we're not exploiting the bees for their work. Vegans, chill the fuck out. That's a step too far for me. Yeah, now it's seven degrees of eating bacon. That's what all the vegan stuff is now. Yeah, and avocado-based spreads.

It's like I don't want a spread on my sandwich that renders it impossible to save for a later meal because it's going to turn brown and gross. Sure. Yeah, apparently it's instantly brown. Yeah, the second it's made, I don't know if it's evergreen sometimes. You're always coming across half avocados that are just browned. I think if you leave the pit in, though, that helps. You know what I mean? If you cut it in half.

If you put the pit over the brown part. Yeah, just rub the pit on the brown part. I have a kale question. Here's my kale, because I'm buying kale now. Do you guys throw it away when've been buying kale now do you guys throw it away when you get home or do you wait

six weeks because I've been just the I've been waiting six weeks purchasing it I throw it away on my way out

of the grocery store so I buy it and then as I leave I'm like peace never gonna use this save some time yeah fuck it

I don't have room in my refrigerator and I don't know why I bought it because I don't like kale Someone looked at me and I wanted to look healthy I'm like yeah yeah yeah kale love it Just the idea of like I'm a kale guy and you know I'm healthy I'm not bleeding all the time

From these bug bites From these bug bites why do I have them? Google Should I start sleeping inside? I think we talked about from these bug bites. From these bug bites? Why do I have them? Google. Should I start sleeping inside? I think we talked about the fact that the top purchaser of kale prior to this kale boom was Pizza Hut,

and they were buying it for garnish for their pizza buffet. That was the only reason. Oh, yeah. It sat on that ice. It sat on crushed ice. Yeah, it sat on crushed ice, and it was the garnish that people used to throw away. Whoa, shit. That was the only reason. Oh, yeah. It sat on that ice. It sat on crushed ice. Yeah, it sat on crushed ice, and it was the garnish that people used to throw away.

Whoa, shit. That was kale. I have the strongest sense memory now of looking at a buffet and always being like, what the fuck is this nasty looking lettuce? It looked like trash cut to me juicing it and fucking worshiping it. That sounds like a Disney movie. Right. Like the kale, and it's always the garnish. Ignored, yeah.

You're not good enough to eat. One day all the stars will eat me. Yeah, right, exactly. The pizza is like, we're fucking delicious, man. You suck. Yeah, delicious pizza. Nobody's ever gonna eat you.

It makes Pizza Hut pizza look that much better. You have to put it next to kale for you to be like, this is good. That looks more edible. What is something you think is underrated? I wouldn't know. You know, this was interesting. I probably could have come up with a better one,

but I think pinball is an underrated thing. Whoa. I think pinball is very, I think it's more fun than most things. It's more fun than traffic or surgery or like staring at the sun. Right. I think every, the fact that every bar doesn't have a pinball machine is a crime to me.

I hate that. If you like, if you're in an awful conversation at a bar, you need to need to like take up smoking or like, you can either like go, I'm going to grab a smoke or, you know, or up smoking, or you can either go, I'm going to grab a smoke, or you chug a beer and be like, well, I'm going to get another beer now. Sometimes if you have a full beer, it's a little obvious. You're like, I'm empty.

And you're like, hey, man, you going through some stuff, man? You want to talk? No, no, no, I don't need to talk. I need another beer. I'm just sick of hearing about your yard or whatever dumb conversation you're having. But pinball, you're like, you know what? I'm going to grab some pinball. And most people are like, okay, okay, 1950s Tommy.

Yeah, you're right. The Who. Yeah. And it's great. You put the money in and you plunge it and you instantly get five million points the second you put it in. I mean, that is great for your confidence. It's very gratifying. It's a pretty fun game.

Did you just play pinball recently that woke you up to this? Or were you in a terrible bar situation and said, I wish there was a fucking pinball machine? I often wish there was a pinball. I was on a pinball league in New York. Oh, okay. I actually love it. I think it's, and people are like,

what, it doesn't even do anything. Yeah. I talk to weird people. Yeah, yeah. I talk like, I don it's, and people are like, well, it doesn't even do anything. Yeah. I talk to weird people. Yeah. I talk like, I don't know, maybe they're drowning and that's why they talk to me. Help me. Like, sorry, man, I can't. Why won't you shut up about pinball?

You're the last guard. I'll make another beer. Is there a machine you like? You know, Adam's Family is a great one. Oh, shit. Yo, I was just about to ask, did you fuck with the Adam's Family machine? By Midway? The Adam's Family is pretty great.

Yeah, that's a great one. Midway. Midway's one of the last... I don't even know if Midway's around anymore. Midway also made Mortal Kombat and some of those things. Yeah, exactly. Boasty. Boasty. Yeah, man. Sopranos. Chicago. Fuck with the Sopranos pinball.

Sopranos is really good. Where's the frickin' money? All like the soundbites. Way to go, thing. Way to's the freaking money uh all like the sound bites uh way to go thing way to lend a hand i always love the sound bites from the adams family and you know and pinball is like you know what it is it's it's like it's sort of like basketball where you got to hit your shots right but it's also like darts where you have to like close out this one and then close out that one and there's a certain order to it and stuff and that's how you you know when you when i first started playing it's just like well this is just

yeah ridiculous right you know but then you feel like you can nudge it and kind of like set up tf shots and hit things and uh and yeah and like it's adam's family is such a fun game and yeah i grew up the 7-eleven by my house as a kid had that one in there yeah and then it will first it was a doctor Who pinball machine. At the time, I didn't know. I didn't watch Doctor Who. I'm like, this is weird. And then when it switched to Addams Family, I was at that 7-Eleven all day.

Also selling drugs outside of it. But I was also there playing. They were like, go talk to the kid over by the Addams Family. So was Street Fighter II there? Yeah, Street Fighter II was also there, yep. There was like a, and maybe it's our generation, just, you know, 7-Eleven had video games. You know, and I remember we used to spend, there was definitely at least one summer where it was spent playing Street Fighter 2 at 7-Eleven like every day. Every day.

7-Eleven. Is that what that means? Yeah, he would always come by, he's like, all right, guys, it's 10-58, you that what that means? Yeah, he would always come by and say, alright guys, it's 1058, you know what that means. Scram. And finally, what's a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? This one kills me, but the

conspiracy theory of putting fluoride in water to make the public docile, that just annoys the hell out of me right because if if they really and by the way oh yeah i always get docile and domicile mixed up no you got it right this time i meant to say they're trying to make us domicile they want to make you into a house like a small enclave of where you live and uh i don't think i use enclave right but i uh but i think um it kills me because they

always say they put fluoride in water to you know to sort of like you know make us just sort of subdued and everything right then why is marijuana illegal it makes no sense at all if you really wanted to keep a public you know like sort of like down then you legalize marijuana right if you want to kill because every single like argument i ever hear by a conspiracy theorist about why they put fluoride in the water it's always like they're just listing what marijuana does you know it's like no they want to do it so your inhibitions are curbed and your motivation is sort of like rolled back and that's just didn't make marijuana like make money off the marijuana because they're not making money off fluoride. Tell that to Big Fluoride.

Fucking raking in the dope. This sounds like an interesting bar you hang out with. I know. You got a lot of conspiracy theorists talking shit about pinball. You're like, yo, I need another fucking beer. Yeah, man. I talk to fluoride guys.

That's why I want to go play pinball all the time. Yeah, but I think the real way if you want to make a population docile and subdue them is systematically dismantle the education system and shit like that. They're already doing this. There's so much stuff. They figured it out. Just don't fund education. Put Betsy

DeVos in the head of everything. Hey, we need anti-bear guns. Alright, we're going to take a quick break.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion.

An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. That was a long break. Seven years passed. I don't know. It's been a while. A few minutes to you. Good to see you guys again.

Yeah. We all have very long mouth beards. Exactly. Mine still looks very wispy. It's time for a Google trend search. So Amy Winehouse was trending in the past couple of days. Oh, no. Did something happen to her?

In a way. I'm her biggest fan. Oh, boy. Oh, man. Have you not looked in the news in eight years? Seven years? No, no. I don't have a TV.

Okay. How do we put this? She died. Oh, no. But she went to re- But she's been resurrected. But hey, even yesterday, the Lord taketh, but the Lord giveth back. Right, because they are doing a hologram tour with Amy Winehouse.

She's going to be performing as a hologram from beyond the grave after dying at age 27, 27 Club, Alcohol Poison. She was a 27 one? Yeah. I thought this shit would happen a lot sooner. After the Tupac hologram, I was like, well, it's a wrap. Now you're going to see Mozart in concert or some shit or fucking Jimi Hendrix.

But I think it's the companies that own the technology just did not know how to sell it properly. I know in Hollywood there is that theater where you can go see, I think Billie Holiday gets up for a couple sets every night. By the time the Tupac hologram show happened, the company that did all the R&D to make it possible had declared bankruptcy. Oh, wow.

So it was just the infrastructure for special effects, Oh, wow. out of business almost. So yeah, it's weird because you'll see these kind of leaps forward in special effects and then it'll just kind of recede because the company goes out of business and you lose all that institutional learning. Well, how much is it getting the rights from the estate? I'm sure there's some. Her dad is behind it,

so he's completely been like, let's do this. I never saw the documentary. He's a pivotal part in that, right? I haven't seen the documentary either. I don't know if he was a good guy or a bad guy or something like that. It's just so weird, just the idea of in a post-mortem world, having a hologram of you still performing. Who knows what.

Yeah, exactly. Like, as a comedian, what jokes are they going to, you know? Sure, yeah. You know, is there a version of yourself where you're just like, so anyway, I'm at Starbucks the other day, and I give them my name, and they're like, I would never do that joke, you know? Just, like, pissed from hell.

Yeah, yeah. They haven't really, like Amy Winehouse is, like her thing was her voice. It was not necessarily like her performance, but maybe she was really magnetic. I'm actually not that familiar with. Sadly, the only live performances I was really familiar with were the ones where she was like really in bad shape

because people were like, yikes. Right. But I just know as a voice, yeah, she's like a powerhouse singer. Right. But apparently the way this show is going to be, people were like, yikes. Right. But I just know as a voice, yeah, she's like a powerhouse singer. Right. But apparently the way this show is going to be, it's going to be very theatrical with a live band and real life singers backing her up. Right. But I feel like when they do the Michael Jackson tour with the hologram, that's going to be

the shit. Good luck getting everybody to sign off on that one. Right, right. Well, they did. And I guess this isn't too different from the animatronic stuff. There was a grassroots band of animals, bears, that passed away. And then Chuck E. Cheese showed up at a pizza. Yeah.

Sort of a tribute to the band where they did animatronic. Yeah. But only one of the bears. They changed them into all kinds of other deformed creatures. I can't. Right. What else was it? I know the bear. There wasronic. Yeah. But only one of the bears. They changed him into all kinds of other deformed creatures. I can't. What else was it? I know the bear. There was like a bird.

There was like a weird Italian caricature pizza guy. It was a wacky looking roof. Yeah. And they had that urban rural beef with the country bears from Disneyland. Right. They ever settle that? Yeah. Well, one of the country bears I think I clapped up.

Yeah. Yeah. He was shot tragically in Las Vegas. Speaking of people trying to make someone to go to rehab and that person saying no, no, no, Tara Reid was at the top

of Google trend searches yesterday in the morning. Conversely, I thought she died a long time ago. Right. So she's still out here. That's kind of the remarkable thing is she has been on a decade straight of being on a bender. Like, it's almost impressive the fact that it's just like she's kind of keeping that ball in the air. But she's, yeah, it's also a sign of not having good people around her.

Yeah, she's like the, if Kanye is struggling with his mental health, Tara Reid is struggling with substances, and no one gives a fuck because she's getting Sharknado gigs. Right, she's getting that Sharknado thing. There was an interview she did a month or two ago for the latest Sharknado film, and she was a mess. Yeah, she was. And in no way should she have even been remotely out there in the public talking to promote a film.

And you could just tell, you know, like clearly somebody has to drive her to the thing, book the thing, get her there, get her in makeup. And they go, yeah, yeah, that's fine. This is okay to have her out there. And it's just, yeah, like as it goes on and then that video of her getting escorted off with her dog, you're like, oh, man, like, somebody please. Yeah. Come on now. Help this young woman.

Isn't that a little, but isn't it a little old Hollywood, though? Right. Isn't it a little refreshing? Right. You know, like, those. Judy Garland. Yeah, you know. Out here.

Yeah, I always hear these stories of, like, these old grizzled actors just, you know, got up and drank their breakfast. Oh, yeah. Well, that was the thing. I mean, there was a time in Hollywood when you hear about the old-timey presidents just having wild affairs in the Oval Office. Like, wow, the press is like basically up until the 70s. Well, up until the 70s yeah like yeah with the how aggressive it

was yeah um and that actually the media used to leave like movie stars alone there's all these crazy stories from like golden era hollywood where like humphrey bogart just like passed out in people's houses like near a party that he had been to, and then woke up and ate breakfast with them, and they were just like, yeah, he was a nice dude. He was still drinking, and he was hammered. Hey, he paid to have the couch he pissed replaced. Right, exactly. That's amazing.

Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, I think you're right. She's honoring a long-forgotten tradition. Yeah, we need a little. With none of the benefits. Right. And just pred long-forgotten tradition. Yeah. With none of the benefits. Right. And just predatory management. Yeah, right.

Man, I don't know. I think I saw a picture of her. She seems to be more Tupperware than human. She's very plastic. Yeah, and I don't know if it's a combination of that and her health. But, yeah, there's something missing. I hate that part of – that's the part of Hollywood I hate. Is it – plastic surgery, to me, it's this really sad thing where people feel like they need to look a certain way.

And I feel like people never look better when they have plastic surgery. They just look like they had plastic surgery. Yeah, no, it's never subtle. Except for that one time Demi Moore came back out of the shadows and was just like, I'm 30. And we're like, what the fuck? Because normally, like, there's a look to certain, like, plastic surgery procedures where you're like, oh, yeah, y'all look like you're from the same planet. Yeah, I think it's a sampling error actually where we notice the really bad plastic surgery, but there are also the people who...

The Demi-Boards. Yeah, who just make it look so good that you never notice it. Like Tom Cruise can't look like he looks right now, but it doesn't seem like he's got plastic surgery. Is that what you tell yourself every night? He can't. He's cheating. It's impossible.

He's cheating. He's cheating. He looks like there's a small monkey on his back with his hands. His paws on his cheek. Yeah, just pulling his cheeks back. Yeah, maybe. He always backs out of a room. Right.

Don't let him see the monkey. You've never seen Tom Cruise's back in a movie. I'm just saying. So there was another name trending yesterday that I was not familiar with, Christian Carino. And this is an older gentleman who Lady Gaga is now engaged to. He has a kid with Brooke Walden, the CNN newscaster. And he's a talent agent for Harry Styles, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Simon Cowell. So she basically, for anybody who's seen A Star is Born, she married the evil British dude from A Star is Born.

Oh, man. Like the talent agent who fucks everything up. That's who she married. Do they meet on set? I don't know. It's a good question where they met. Well, you know, I mean, now that we live in the world where, you know, Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande are in love and are going to be together forever,

it just gives us so much hope. I wake up. I had trouble getting up out of bed for a long time, but I was like, you know what? There is love. If these two can do it. Nick, again, I hate to ask this. When was the last time you looked at any news again?

I had a Zenith television. And I had it. But somehow you found out Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande were together, though. Well, I walk around Manhattan. I see them holding hands. With my ear to the streets. I follow you. Well, they also broke up.

No! My God, he just jumped out a window. And he's back. And he flew back. What chance do any of us have? That is the question. And my son looked at a picture of Pete Davidson on my phone when it was texted to me,

and I started weeping that they had broken up and he said, Dada! That was cool. If anyone wants to adopt a kid pointed to, and he was pointing to Ariana Grande actually. So that was even weirder. I like the idea though but he looks over at you, you have the wild Ariana Grande

ponytail. Top knot? Yeah, I'm always rocking that top knot at home. That's my weekend look. And then Nathan Fillion was trending because America fucking loves that dude. Who is he? Well, that's what's- He's Castle, bro. What's Castle?

Well, I mean, it's funny. I mean, it's Firefly first, right? Yeah, Firefly, then Castle. I don't know. The world is- It's funny because the world is teaching our parents who he is. Yes. Because when he was in- First of all, he's the guy from Castle.

Yes. That's all he is. And then for diehard Serenity Firefly fans, you know, they love him and they sort of built this like thing with him off of that. And now it's like, it's always funny where it's like, what is his name? Nathan. Fillion. Fillion.

And then it's like all the billboards like, Nathan Fillion is back. And it's like, he was here before? Right. Yeah. Nathan Fillion. Fillion. And then it's like all the billboards like, Nathan Fillion is back. And it's like, he was here before? Who is he? Yeah. Fillion? He has a new show on ABC, I think, called The Rookie, in which he plays an old guy who is a new cop. Wow.

All the stories that he's trending off of are like, this show is not what you'd expect after his work on Castle, which if you're not familiar with Castle, then you're everybody. Right. It was basically like a modern day Matlock slash murder she wrote. He was an author that followed a...

He was a crime author who solved murders. Oh, because his imagination was so cool? He'd be like, I could probably figure this out. I would have wrote it like this. That's clearly a writer who thought they could be a fucking detective. Oh, for sure. And then was like, here's this show.

It's a writer who's so fucking smart and sees the Matrix that he helps solve fucking crimes. Alright, we've gotta check in with the Culture War Report. We are Culture War reporters, and enough fun, motherfuckers. Enough fun. It's time.

Can't we just go one day? Nah, we cannot. We have to, I want to pay attention to what the right is saying, because, you know, the left is holding itself to this standard, like I saw a Vx article that was like guys stop writing clickbait headlines about a second american civil war but like the right is actively trying to start the second american civil war well they got people they really have to get people thinking that like the all of the progressives are frothing at the pants right just start fucking blowing shit up or something.

Yeah. I think we have a clip of Tucker Carlson. This is more just the right being fragile. No, we don't have a clip of that. Oh, we don't? Yeah, I would have had to listen to the whole fucking podcast to get the clip. He's mad that everyone yells at him when he goes out to eat,

and he recently, I think we played a clip where he was talking about how the left is engaging in violence against the right and the person was like that's not violence if they yell at you in public and he's like well it's a kind of violence feels very aggressive um yeah what he said he was on a the national reviews podcast and was just sort of like you know just lamenting he's like his quote was I can't really go to a lot of restaurants anymore because i get yelled at i mean i don't feel threatened but having someone scream fuck you at a restaurant it just wrecks your meal yeah oh yeah you know what also wrecks your meal when uh people go on uh national television tell men's people that there's no point of diversity in this

country right or that yeah you you have people on your show they're like let's rip little babies away from their parents and make five-year-olds sign their rights away because they understand contracts. Yeah. No, he's actively a purveyor of white supremacist propaganda

and deserves all the yelling that he gets. They started the, and I don't love the kicking the people out of the restaurants and stuff, but they started it with the cake shit. Right.

I mean, once they started being like – it just drove me crazy when they're like, well, we're not going to serve people in the Denver cake shop or the Indiana cake shop. It's always cake shops. I don't know why. Right. Yeah. But then they were like Sarah Sanders and the Red Hen or whatever, and it's just like, how dare you not let, it's like, you got like, you know, you got like hardware stores in Tennessee that say not serving, you know, if you're gay, get out.

Right. You guys started this like not serving people thing. Right. I thought we were done after civil rights happened. And it's like, yeah, we're at least we're kicking you out because you're an asshole. Right. You know, like as opposed to just because of how you were born. Yeah, like, I can point to a whole litany of things.

Like, most people don't agree with this shit, and it feels like an attack on them when you talk. Versus, like, your hair is fucking curly. Right. I need you to go. Yeah, it is you specifically that is being discriminated against. That's what's called personally not liking somebody. There's also a news story yesterday about how the Trump dating app leaked a bunch of the user's data, but it's just worth noting there is a Trump dating app.

So they feel victimized because people are not wanting to have sex with them. The unfuckables. victimized because people are not wanting to have sex with them. The unfuckables. So they are creating their own dating app, and surprise, surprise, it is not wildly secure or well-built. That's hemorrhaging your personal information. But I want to talk about how that is being,

like it's going into the black box of the conservative media mind, and how it's coming out is they're trying to create this media universe where the left has declared a physical violent war on the right. Last week during Hurricane Michael, the only non-hurricane red trending story on the front page of Drudge was cops, man, plan to blow self up in D.C. over, quote, country's direction, which makes you think, OK, this is like an anti-Trump guy who was going to, you know, blow, do a suicide bombing because he didn't like what Trump was doing. When you click through, you find out he's not a left-wing person who's mad at Trump.

He's a mentally ill person who wanted to institute a form of government where they appoint leaders at random. It's an ancient election system called sortition. It's like a fucking giver or something? Right. Yeah, it's very, very strange. a fucking giver or something right yeah it's very very strange uh there's also a trend of headlines where basically conservative columnists are starting to believe in magic again well that was wild yeah yeah so i thought the satanic panic was behind us but it seems like it's making a comeback the satanic panic is uh this trend in the 80s when Americans thought that satanic cults were kidnapping and killing

babies. Like on Halloween and shit. Yeah, lots of people got arrested. There's the story of the West Memphis Three where three children were brutally murdered and they basically blamed local goth kids for it because they had long hair and wore black and they were like, yeah, they're witches. They go to these witch masses and do all this crazy shit. And eventually they were cleared of all charges.

But that was after spending most of their life in jail. Oh, God. And that happened a lot in the 80s. So America has the ability to just go off in a weird direction. And now we have a witch hexing event in New York City where a Facebook group is planning to gather women and tongue-in-cheek hex Brett Kavanaugh and all sexual abusers and the patriarchy. They were legit trying to put a hex on him. And that's not right, you know? Right.

Because they're trying to pull up for the vulnerable. And, hey, if you've got to hex them, do what you've got to do. It happened over the weekend. Right. Yeah. Right. Okay. So that actually happened.

I mean, but that's what's weird is like for for these people clearly that's their way of feeling that they can somehow contribute to like stem evil as you know obviously i don't know what the science behind it is exactly uh i'm sure it's rock solid yeah yeah for sure but i guess what the thing is it's clearly you know as we see it we okay, sure. But the right then immediately takes that and goes, you see, they're evil fucking witches who are trying to curse Brett Kavanaugh and who knows what could happen to him. And it's just like, it's really odd because then even in the articles are like, in Judaism and Christianity, witches are an evil demonic thing. And you're like, what are you trying to rally people around exactly?

There's also unicorns in the Bible. I mean, like, it's all such nonsense. And I don't know if this – I don't know if the witch stuff – those are just – I don't know. But they didn't – it's important to note they didn't, like, put it out there as, like, a press release to all media. We are doing a witch hexing event this was a small facebook group that the right actively sought out and made into a news story that it was just like a private like party that somebody was putting together because these women were feeling like they were getting fucked over you know that they were i don't love i don't love going out

putting hexes on people i don't love kicking love kicking Tucker Carlson out of restaurants and stuff. I think a huge problem right now is that right now the only thing you can do is vote. And that's what everyone says. Vote, vote, vote. But you know what? Voting is one day a year. Right. And the rest of the year people are just frustrated and they don't know what to do.

So they're putting together witch groups. They're kicking Carlson out of restaurants. Because people are just so frustrated. Well, yeah. But I think what the other thing to note is a a lot of these actions like i feel like you know honestly if you see someone who is working for dhs and is you know enacting these really fucked up policies of family separation or whatever that you that you have you you can voice your your disagreement with them i think that's important because most of these people are

operating in an environment where they think this is okay. And what the right has done, and I was listening to Eddie Glaude, who's a Princeton professor, he was saying that what the right has done is really interesting because what they've done is weaponized the progressives' moral outrage at their responses to these things. So they're saying, oh, why are you getting upset about family separation and getting in people's faces? No, see, now we're the victim only because people are standing up to show their decency or to at least stand up for something and draw a line in the ground. And then the way they're flipping it to an actually effective way, apparently, is to then turn it into this is violence. This is an

attack against us. They're unhinged. And that's where like I think we're having to figure out how do we break that sort of rhetorical cycle of where our outrage or people standing up for what is good or decent isn't being spun into these people are violent and they're trying to kill people when it's a lot of people just really trying to voice their concerns. Right. And when you look at the actual things of like issues, instances of violence, that's mostly exclusively occurring on the right. So you see like – and yeah, I want to put together a montage of the right being violent because you know how they made a video like earlier this year where they're like the left is violent. And there's all these like cherry-picked moments. I was like I could cherry-pick the same things with the conservatives.

You wouldn't have to cherry-pick. Yeah. I was like, I could cherry pick the same things with the conservatives. You wouldn't have to cherry pick. Yeah. But you got like – so you have like the women that like confronted Jeff Flake at the elevator and how powerful that was. They didn't try to kick him out of the elevator. They went in and they were emotional and passionate and they voiced their thing. And it was sort of – it just – it prolonged the inevitable, but at least it felt like something in that moment.

least it felt like something in that moment and i think when you like go in and kick ted cruz out of an italian restaurant in dc i think it's much more powerful to instead of like getting out your phones you know like what is it what is it richard branson is getting a star on the walk of fame today we're on the way here and we're just got their phones out and they're just videotaping this whole thing i i think it would have been much more powerful because you know that they kicked him they went They went in. They wouldn't let him eat. They just kept yelling at him. He left.

Then they got kicked out. And then Ted Cruz came right back in. He missed soup. You know, that was about all that really happened with him. And I think if instead, if they would have, like, just sat down and been like, all right, we're going to join you for dinner and we're going to talk to you about this thing right now. Right.

Rather than shouting him down. That's not going to join you for dinner and we're going to talk to you about this thing right now. Rather than shouting him down. That's not going to happen though. He would have looked more like the dick than them in that case then because it would have gone from them being – because I think when they're like, fuck weekend, the senator who grabbed the cell phone out of the kid's hand when he was asking him about voting in Georgia. Is it Georgia? You know, like the whole – Voter suppression. The voter suppression thing. Yeah, we talked about that.

The senator looked like a dick because the guy asked him a legitimate, nice question and the senator – the senator looked like a dick. Right. As opposed to if that kid would have gone out and been like, fuck you for doing this. Then the kid would have looked like a dick. I think that's a valid point. I think you can have those interactions. You can voice your opinion. The right – God, they're using it as ammo.

Well, that's the thing is the only reason that people are having to rethink what you would normally do of just voicing your disagreement or disappointment in someone is, again, is that they're just, it's all about optics. And it's just that the fact that they're there, then they cut these super cuts together and be like, you see what's going on. But realistically these, like what they're saying is valid. Like people have to realize, you know,

some society has to inform people sometimes what the fucking boundaries are, what the guardrails are. And we've gone so far that I think these people, they're trying to be like, yo, we don't like racism. We don't like this intense xenophobia at the expense of children and things like that. And yeah, it's hard to look at something like that where what they're doing is actually so violent to these people that it can't just be, I mean, I think it is important to have actual discourse around these things because there's no way we're just going to scream at each other and solve anything.

But I think if these people are frustrated and they're not being actually violent, they're not putting their hands on people and causing them harm. That's just something that's going to happen because if you're an activist and you're seeing this shit, I don't know. This is just how they're expressing themselves. But yeah, it is tough because then it's like a catch-22. Then you're on film, and then you're in a supercut, and then it's just furthering the, hey, the left is unhinged thing, when it's more should be the right is doing pure evil, and look at how all these people are upset by it.

The right is so, every day there's a new white woman screaming at some minority. There was a guy in the summer who was just screaming at some,. There was a guy in the summer who was just screaming at some... I forget where they were from, but just get out of my country and shit like that. That is so unhinged. That is so violent,

threatening people to get the hell out. No one else is... Every day there's a video of white people screaming at someone. That is unhinged to me. The last one was Corner Store Caroline, which is the woman in Flatbush who said the young black kid

touched her butt or something, groped her, and called the cops, and then they looked at the video, it was his backpack that touched her. It was a real narrow aisle. That was bad. Like you said, it's every day. Or the other dude who was babysitting for his white friend, and someone was like, I think this black man has these white kids. I don't know if she was on the right, though.

What do you mean? No, not even that it's the right. She wasn't conservative. But that mentality, that's someone who may act woke or whatever, but clearly you have some other shit underneath that you need to work out. And that's just a gentrifier in the neighborhood and being like, what the fuck? No, I didn't gentrify this neighborhood so i can be around people i'm not like but i mean they've already created the idea of mob rule and we'll talk uh after the break a little bit about how it doesn't really matter what the left does because they are going to create this story anyways.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila, caught up in a bizarre situation.

KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the

spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straightway i felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and so talking about how the right is dealing with the left's moral outrage, I'm subscribed to the Breitbart mailing list, which is demoralizing and soul withering most of the time. But it's also interesting to just kind of get some insight into how they're talking about the news. to how they're talking about the news.

And a recent email had the headline, the classic defense against mob rule. And you clicked through and it linked to a doormat that says, this house protected by the second amendment. So they're talking about shooting people on the left, but it's all implicit. Yeah, they're so violent. Yeah.

So how Fox News is using this is they were recently reporting on Antifa attacking the GOP with swords when Antifa was protesting an appearance by Gavin McGinnis and the Proud Boys on TV. And it turned out when people looked into it that the footage they had that said Antifa attacks. So like you can, we'll link off to the image. It's Fox News story saying Antifa attacks against swords and vandalism at New York GOP office. And they have footage of a white guy holding up a sword. That was Gavin McGinnis. That was the dude from the right holding up a sword. And they just like told the story as though the person on the right was the violent person on the left.

They're just changing it to, you know, make it seem like they're under attack and it doesn't really matter what happens. Fox news is going to, and then somebody pointed that out. And a day later, that same story was at the top of their website. So they didn't take it down.

On Breitbart or Fox? On Fox. Well, and even along with that story, too, after he did some real fucking whack reenactment of a Japanese socialist being assassinated by a far-right Japanese activist like from the 60s or something yeah sword yeah the fuck anyway fuck that guy there was like of like these fights broke out outside the Republican club because the Republicans are now like full-on embracing the Proud Boys I guess with this move and there's like the assaults were caught on video the NYPD dragged their fucking feet so bad.

The only arrests they made that night were of counter protesters, first of all. And then the governor, Cuomo, had to come in and be like, OK, we're going to launch an investigation into this because NYPD was not they're just really inactive, like and just seemed like they couldn't care less about it. And then you come to find, you know, Gavin McInnes was also bragging the next day. He's like, well, you know, I have a lot of friends in the police department, NYPD. Like, you know, a lot of people there like what I do or whatever. And, you know, that's the other dimension of these stories, too, because there was a story that came out yesterday about how when the Patriot Prayer Group, which is another far-right organization, had an event in Portland.

had a an event in Portland there were naturally counter-protesters showed up that the police like confronted a group of these patriot prayer guys who were like on a rooftop near the counter protesters like sitting on like a weapon like a cache of weapons right and they no one was arrested and they said everyone had licenses so they took the guns away and they were later retrieved or whatever so I'm not like I'm not here to say that all these guys were like waiting to try and like snipe people from a rooftop but the fact that that story like the police sat on it for that long to not even tell people like what was going on with these other groups it just adds fuel to the fire also of separating how people are looking at police and being like okay so a lot of the times especially even at that patriot prayer rally a guy got shot in the head i don't know if Prayer Rally, a guy got shot in the head. I don't know if you remember that photo.

The guy got hit in the head with a flashbang that was launched at him and busted open his skull. That dude was a protester? Yeah, he was a counter protester. And it seemed like a bulk of the injuries were happening to the counter protesters. And the police were almost going out of their way to give as much leeway to the far right people as possible. Which is what it seemed like was happening in Charlottesville back at the Unite the Right rally. This is why I worry about a second American Civil War. I don't think it's going to come just as a result of some bullshit Fox News story, but those stories are certainly priming the engine

should something big occur. And for an example of something big that could occur like just imagine any scenario where Trump is either impeached or loses an election he's not going to like accept that he's going to you know ask people to go to the streets and fight and you know like support him he's not he's not the type of person who's just going to be like well the people have spoken yeah because i mean like i mean honestly well robert muller huh i guess he found me out hey when i'm caught i'm caught guys what can i say but i i don't think people on the left are taking it as seriously as i agree that like shouting people down is probably

not the most effective way to deal with it, but I do think people should be aware and we should stop getting Vox stories about clickbait headlines because you have a president, so the commander in chief of the military, who has talked about how much he admires dictators and their use of force to stay in power. And you have police that already show signs of like supporting the right wing and, you know, the far right, like the left is not in a strong position.

The left has the mainstream media basically. And that's it. I mean, there's sort of the left, there's been like call in the past few months to no longer be nice and to sort of like take these like, you know, big, bold, play dirty, angry sort of mentality. It's very, I think right now we have a huge problem

in our country on both sides that you can't criticize anything of a group without everybody in that group taking it personally. Right, yeah. And it doesn't matter if you're criticizing the police criticize anything of a group without everybody in that group taking it personally right and it doesn't matter if you're criticizing the police or fighting maybe one aspect of the me too movement that you sort of have an issue with without everybody and me too being offended or every police officer being offended or you know and uh so you you see you come out and you say, hey, quit killing black kids, cops. And then cops hear that and they go, oh, so you think all cops are sort of bad.

It's like, that's not what I said. And it's like, well, that's what I heard. And so now all cops sort of see these guys with the cachet on the roof and they're like, identify with these people because that's why I always think it's funny when people are like, Second Amendment, these people are going to come knocking on my door and

taking my guns. Who exactly do you think is going to do that? The cops? The cops are all on your side. The military? They're all on your side. The liberals are the ones that need to stock up. Some guy with dreads and a didgeridoo hey man so uh honey it's barack obama he's here to take your guns tell him i'll be right down yeah it's just yeah it's it's a very interesting time. And yeah, I think that's another thing too.

Like no one really believes in those kind of absolutes or whatever. And it sucks too because there are police like who are clearly also trying to expose shit in their own departments and then are getting like repercussions because they're, you know, some police departments are very entrenched in their ways. And yeah, it's one of those things where we see these examples shown over and over, and it begins to just tinge people's perceptions of these groups. And yeah, I guess that's the thing, is at what point are we really going to try and have these conversations and be like, hold on, do you guys really think that by expanding Medicare and getting everyone on health insurance or equal rights for people, that translates into us wanting to shoot you or something.

Right. Because people who are looking to make progress aren't saying, well, we got to do it even if it means lobbing some heads off or something. It's like, no, this benefits fucking everybody. Right. We're concerned about the health of the people in the country. Just speaking of not believing in absolutes, I meant to get into, so there was a article by Rod Dreher where he talked about like

the new Archie Sabrina show and connected it to cattle mutilation. This was talked about on a recent reading series on Chopper Trap House and then connected it to the wife of his friend who is being treated by an exorcist and was like, look, the left is out of control and there is a war being fought for like the soul of the nation, essentially. And meanwhile, Trump has started calling his political opponents evil, which I yeah, I just think it's very dangerous. I'm not saying the left should go out and commit acts of violence. I'm saying the opposite of that. But I think they need to be aware that this is what's happening on the right. Right.

Or, yeah, how they're trying to inoculate their listeners, viewers, followers, supporters to view people on the left. Yeah. I think people are so much more on the same page. That's the biggest tragedy of all of it, is that I think most people think most cops are good. I think most people are against racism. I think most people are for the Me Too movement. I think most people are sort of all on the same page with all this stuff.

It's the labels has everyone fucked up yeah it's like the labels uh they take criticism the wrong way they just one of the biggest things that just annoys the hell out of me is that like you know and we kind of keep talking about like the the snowflake aspect of the right that kills me that they call left that they that they are so like snowflakey like i tweeted a thing this past week of just like oh how much longer until kanye does a country album right kanye twitty i think would be his his country name and then someone and it might who knows might have been a russian bot or whatever but they were like what are you insinuating you know like it was

just like it's i don't know insinuating that like i don't know life is fleeting and we make jokes about incongruities in life and it's a it's a joke i don't care what do you see my country music yeah like yeah you dissing country music or kanye i'm trying to figure out how to get mad because i don't know it's like i talked about like uh i got off facebook because i just it was the conservatives that were offended at every joke I did. Right. They were so, I do a joke, and then, what is it? I think Morgan, is it Morgan Murphy who had a joke that was just like, before Twitter, I didn't know my jokes had answers. You know, it's just so funny.

Like, and that's what Facebook was. It was like, I did a joke, and then, like, I was talking about, I just made a joke about gun owners. Right. And then, you know, and I I'm like I think people can have – if people want guns, they don't have any sort of issues of violence in their past, go for it. Right. I'm still going to make fun of gun owners because I think it's hilarious how upset they get. Now I've become them.

They do jokes because they just know how much it riles up the left, and they do jokes specifically to piss them off. Why can't I do that? I do that about gun owners, and I make a joke about gun owners, and they just lose their mind. They get so offended. They just can't even – they are the people that say we live in 2PC of a world. And I just love that their version of 2PC is, why can't I make fun of minorities, gays, women? Oh, why can't I make a joke about anything? You make one joke about Trump or gun owners, and they are the most like, you can't say that. You're just exactly what you're mad about.

The hypocrisy is insane. That's why it's like, oh man, like how could Jay-Z use bad language? And then, you know, Kanye West is in the Oval Office being like, I'm a crazy motherfucker. And like saying

all of this wild shit. And then everyone goes, but you know, Kanye, we love his free thinking, but Taylor Swift, you need to shut the fuck up about who you're voting for. Exactly.

It's really like, how do you want it exactly? Yeah, he goes on SNL like, oh, so liberals can't deal with somebody to have a different opinion. Yeah. And then they're like trying to like – yeah. And I just edited together a video of like that thing where he goes in front of – it was two days before the election.

He railed on Jay-Z for lyrics in a song that were obscene. And it's funny because he goes goes on this thing in the very end he goes and that that just shows the hypocrisy and of politicians and how and it's it's like he's making fun of the hypocrisy and the shallowness uh of politicians and he's doing exactly jay-z singing lyrics at a concert versus Kanye in the Oval Office. And then he's sitting there and he goes, he's a smart cookie. He's amazed.

That was amazing what he did. Smart cookie. Smart cookie, Jesus. Like he's talking about his niece or something. Speaking of the rights version of humor being like insulting people who aren't white males, I guess, is like their version of, you version of sticking it to the PC libs. We did have one joke, I guess, that we wanted to get to.

Well, yeah. I mean, Lindsey Graham apparently was too racist for Evil Fox the other morning when the whole DNA thing came up, and then he had a real interesting take. He said, oh, I bet I'm more Cherokee than Elizabeth Warren or whatever. So then later on, as the show was ending, he left them with this one. He told me he was getting better. Yes.

He's having so much fun. He's rocking it. Keep it up. Keep it up, Donald. Lindsey Graham, thank you very much. Come back in a couple of weeks, and we'll take a look. We'll find out who you really are. I'll probably be Iranian and be like terrible.

I'll have great people, just bad leaders. Yeah, bad leaders. All right. I'm not in the eye of Toler Bray. He said this was a joke that he's going to take a DNA test and he's probably more Iranian. Well, yeah, and then he was like, I'll probably be Iranian. That'd be terrible.

And then Homeboy had to be like, even he had to check and be like, well, they're fine people, just the leaders you don't agree with. Even on Fox and Friends, dude had to pull up and be like, what the fuck are you doing? Super producer Anna Hosnier. When Fox and Friends is sort of like PC checking you, that's some real shit. You love that joke, right, Anna?

Hi. checks you. PC checking you. That's a, that's, that's a. You love that joke, right? Um, hi. First of all, it's Iranian, you dirty piece of shit, Lindsay. Also, I'd like to say what's worse than being associated with Lindsay Graham as a quote unquote Iranian, I think would be,

would be if it actually turned out that he had Iranian in him because his face looks like a pig's asshole. And that's all I want to say. Fuck you, Lindsey Graham. Don't you ever say the word Iranian again, motherfucker. You're a dumb piece of shit. Thank you. That's all I had to say. All right.

Drop the bomb on that one. Super producer Ana Hosnia did do 23andMe on Ethnically Ambiguous. And you're what, 3% Lindsey Graham, right? Yeah, 3% Lindsey Graham, 97% Irani. I am looking to get into the Trump cabinet. So, you know, just doing my work here. He might be the Secretary of Defense if you believe everything you write

or people are writing out there about him. It's so weird that it is sort of like these racist, these prejudicial things that sort of used these like, racist, these prejudicial things that sort of used to be, you kept them in the back of your head. Yeah. And you never let them

out of the front of your face. That would be terrible. And now it's like, because Lindsey Graham did this like, he used to like, challenge Trump. Am I wrong?

Yeah, he did. No, something changed over the, something changed. He, like, over the summer there was a very clear change where he suddenly didn't know how to criticize a single thing he did. And if it was, it was very light.

It was just a soundbite. So it could be printed with a headline so he didn't look totally evil. But all of his actions have been like, hey, whatever you need me to do. Right. So like that thing, the Iranian, you know, am I saying it right? Iranian. Iranian comment stays in his crawl. It doesn't come out pre-summer.

Right. You know, because he has the decency to at least not be indecent in public. And then now it's just like, well, if I want to get into the cabinet or get the UN spot or the secretary or whatever the hell he's trying to do. Talk Trumpanese. Yeah. It's just like, let it out.

It's just so, and it's weird. Like, I don't, I mean, the whole, I don't know where you guys are at on the whole, like, midterms of like, you know, what you guys think is going to happen and everything. But it does sort of seem like the campaigning right now is just like, conservatives are running just on, I'm like Trump. Yeah. It's not an issue-based election. It's just like, I am the most, and they're trying to be as Trump as Trump. Yeah. That's that's there's no it's not an issue based election. It's just like I am the most and they're trying to be as Trump as

possible. Yeah. And it's cringy when some people you can tell like that's not really their character and they have to say and you're like you sound like a

fake ass racist. You're not even believable. Like I can see your soul dies. You said that shit. You sound like low energy Jeb Bush.

You don't sound like Donald Trump homie. Nothing worse than low energy jeb bush yeah you don't sound like donald trump nothing worse some low energy racism like you're just doing it for the clicks we are oh i was just gonna say we probably should just i don't know if we wanted to play that ad just because i think that is one dimension of this campaign is just about trying to fuel the flames of hey well you don't vote for a liberal because they are violent and fucking scary and want to kill us all. And this was a video that the GOP, the party itself, put out recently, and it sounds like a fucking trailer for Inception or some shit.

If they go low, we kick them. And if you see anybody in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome. Sex and freedom can't be saved. We believe survivors. I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country.

Maybe there will be. You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. Get up and please get up in the face of some Congress people. Is this the quote-unquote mob? Blah. Blah. Well, you know what? I'm conservative now. They've talked me into it.

They sound scary. I mean, I can't go. I mean, could you imagine going to a drum circle? You'll get your ass kicked. And someone saying, hey, hey, ho, ho. Donald Trump has got to go. You know what they mean by he's got to go. We're not going to have time to get to Mike Pompeo's trip to Saudi Arabia.

Unfortunately, let's just say it is more smiley than we were hoping for. We thought that maybe the Trump administration was going to make it real for the kingdom. And also, new pronunciation alert. We are calling Jamal. Khashoggi. Khashoggi. Yeah. Yeah.

Khashoggi. Yeah, we were Khashoggi. I was saying it like it was a fucking sandwich from Chicago. Hey, let me get a couple Khashoggis. Oh, yeah. Now, do you get the sweet peppers or the hot peppers? I get the hot peppers. But yeah, now hearing, I had to go to,

because then someone else this morning was in, it's turned into Khashoggi, and I was like, that doesn't fully sound right. And then I got the proper pronunciation. NPR was calling it Khashoggi, which just mixing it all up, but Khashoggi. Or as you were saying, Myles, we could just call him. Khashoggi, the one who put the satin on your panties.

Oh, I was talking about just calling him my man Jamal. Oh, I was going with the Khashoggi reference from I Get Around, the Tupac song. So Trump, the guy who calls the press the enemy, is not doing everything he can to... About a journalist who was living in the U.S.? Yeah. But he's not a citizen. Right. He worked for the place he calls the enemy and doesn't give a shit that he's going.

Yeah. And also, it was funny that in the, I think it was in a speech. It might have been in the 60 Minutes interview. He was like, you're going to be surprised to hear me say this, but I think it's bad that they killed a reporter. There's something extra bad about killing reporters. The fact that he had to be like, you're going to be surprised to hear me say this is like, for real? That line was probably tattooed on his forearm.

They're like, you have to say it like this. You know what kills me about Trump? Trump will like, he'll be in the Oval Office and he'll be like, you know, like, was it Christine Blasey Ford or whatever? And he'll be like, you know, like, I think she's credible. I think, you know, I think she's, you know, she's saying all these positive things.

Then he, like, leaves work. Yeah. Right. And he's like a guy who talks at work and then he goes to the bar afterwards. He's like, you know, he's like, at work, he's like, guys, I think this project's great. I think our boss is smart. And he goes to the bar. He's like, that guy's an idiot.

Like, this project's – he doesn't know. He goes to the rally and talks about work. And he's just like, hey, Blasey Ford. Like, real – you know, I wouldn't believe it. He says the complete opposite of what he says at work, not thinking that anyone can hear him outside of his own fans. Yeah. That's what Diet Coke will do to your brain.

So we don't have time to get to that story. Yeah, too bad we couldn't. Yeah, too bad we couldn't talk about it. And also, we don't have time to get to the beer doubling in price because of climate change we'll get to that tomorrow we'll get to that tomorrow guys

this has been a lot of fun wow Nick did we solve it all? I think we solved it where can people find you and follow you?

usually I am in a there's an underpass under the 405 that I'm just sort of Roscoe? on the 405 north? yeah

I dance in a complete silver suit. Yeah. That's you. Wow. You're the Roscoe exit dancer. Headphones plugged into nothing.

Yeah. I have an album called K-Rock 90 Q-Point Buzz. And it is a complete sort of having fun fm radio yeah it's a bunch of different yeah i haven't started about them for amusement only but this is sort of a little like sketch and yeah uh k-rock 90 q point buzz it's sort of like i love that like growing up in san you know like growing up and listen to like fm radio and just all like the crazy stingers and just like, and I, it's, and K-Rock, 90 Keypoint Buzz, like it's, it doesn't matter if I was in St. Louis growing up or Columbia, Missouri when I was, you know, college or Chicago.

I went to Mizzou. Yeah. My wife went there for med school. We lived there for a little while. Oh, it's a great city. It's a great city. Great town. What was theirs?

I think theirs might've been K-Rock. I don't know. Or the Buzz. I think they were the while. Oh, it's a great city. It's a great city. Great town. What was theirs? I think theirs might have been K-Rock. I don't know. Or The Buzz. I think they were The Buzz. No, no. Kansas City's The Buzz. But it's always... I love that LA's like, world famous K-Rock.

There's a K-Rock. There's like... It's the most popular. There's a K-Rock in everywhere. 90Q point. But it's sort of making fun of all those FM stations. So listen, I'm on whatever, all the,

all the Twitter and all that stuff, but check out that album. All right. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Um, Ian Abramson. Do you guys know Ian Abramson? Uh,

very funny comic, but you know, so, uh, cause you know, Elizabeth Warren, I don't know if we even got into that, but you know,

she, we did. Yeah. Yesterday. Um, you know, yeah. So she's like, so I was trying to think of, of, I spent all day trying, not all, you know.

I was dancing under the overpass, you know. Right. In between songs I would think about what would be a funny DNA joke. And then he did one that I was like, Ian goes, I took a DNA test. It came back negative. I do not have DNA. And either did my ancestors, whoever they are. So I was like, ah, that's the

best DNA joke. There it is. He wins. He won. There you go. Miles, where can people find you? Twitter, Instagram, at Miles of Grey. Shout out to Kirsten and George and Mouse, who I met over the weekend, who were ziking unexpectedly
