You probably don't know what Ajax is It's like saying It's a cleaning It's like saying you're from LA But you actually live in like Anaheim Yeah exactly I get that a lot

It's very annoying I've been That's like one thing that really I don't know why it bugs me But I guess because they're like Well geographically I don't want to say like blah blah blah I'm like

But are you claiming LA? Right Don't claim that You know what I mean? There's people like I'm from Toronto And then I'm like Oh where? They're like, well, geographically, I don't want to say blah, blah, blah. I'm like, but are you claiming LA? Right. Don't claim that. You know what I mean? There's people like I'm from Toronto and then I'm like, oh, where? They're like, well, actually Sudbury. I'm like, Sudbury's four and a half hours north. Right.

Like that is not the same place at all. What's Ajax like? Not good. Yeah. No, not a nice place. What does it mean? Like it's just kind of dark, dreary? It's like a bingo hall and then a couple of malls.

Oh, okay. But the bingo hall I hear is really good. Great bingo hall. One of the better bingo halls. Delta, I used to work there. I want to brag here for a minute. Oh, you worked at Delta Bingo Hall? I worked at a bingo hall at night.

You know what? There you go. The hustle's real. Yeah. It really is. Wait, so is it mostly elderly people? Oh, yeah. At a bingo hall?

Yeah. Okay. At a bingo? I thought you were going to be like in Ajax. You're like, just the concept of a bingo hall. No, no. Mostly elderly? Well, I just, yeah. hall yeah okay i had a bingo i thought you're gonna be like in ajax you're like just the concept of bingo hall no no well i just yeah i didn't i've never known of a place that is specifically a bingo hall like i've heard of oh right like places that have bingo yeah but yeah no yeah seven day a week seven day a week bingo what are the prizes like yeah money yeah like is it enough

to do it seven days a week to like, I could win 50 bucks or something. Yeah, because you can win like a thousand like the main games.

Oh, because everyone has to buy their sheets and then that facilitates, yep. Only bingo I do, drag bingo at Hamburger Mary's.

Oh, that's fun. Oh, that shit is fun. Drinking out those legs. Yeah, drinking out, well,

I broke too many or spilled too many that they don't serve me the legs there. What are the, oh, you drink out of the leg. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah like the leg from a christmas story yeah yes a lamp yes yeah leg lamp uh well steph we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're

gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today uh we are obviously gonna check in with the impeachment inquiry specifically lieutenant colonel vin talking about impeaching this creep. Specifically, Lieutenant Colonel Vindman and Jennifer Williams' testimony yesterday. We're going to check in with the president's health and that hospital story that we talked about on yesterday's episode. Very fine. Very chill. Very legal. Rushed to the hospital. And there is a former White house physician who's calling bullshit oh

uh-huh make a mess we are going to check back in a lot of a lot of follow-ups here we're going to check back in with mia chang uh the scammer who was in the state department yeah um she she has fallen on her sword uh and I mean, she resigned, but it was like a political statement. Yeah, she was like, don't let my resignation. I want to see it as a sign of protest, not of surrender. And we're going to take a closer look

at the Prince Andrew interview. Prince Andrew, who has been associated with Jeffrey Epstein and was accused of various acts and rape, I think, is what you would call it. And a very, I don't know why he did this interview. I mean, in a way, thank you, because it's making it even clearer that you are trash and a predator.

Right. But also, wow. Yeah. Wow. trash and a predator right uh but also wow yeah wow i mean it's just like this is why pr people exist is to let rich people who are in their own little bubble of other rich people know not to do shit or like protect them from themselves uh but his pr person quit two weeks ago in protest because he insisted on doing this interview. That's how bad an idea it was, and it went worse than I think that PR person could have even anticipated. We'll talk about that. Oh, also, my AKA.

That was from JustTDZ. AKA's Tri-K. Thank you for that. Tri-Gang. But first, Steph, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? It's really embarrassing because I was like, oh, the last thing I searched and I want to...

That's why we do it. Okay. Guy with nutsack head is the last thing that I Googled. And this is real. Have you seen this? What do you mean? Okay, my friend said... You've seen this guy What do you mean? Okay, my friend said- You've seen this guy

with nutsack? Okay, my friend said he has like a fat head and if he goes bald, he's going to have lines in his head. So I was like, oh, not like the nutsack guy head.

This guy, he was, everyone started making memes about him. He has a very wrinkly- Oh, like Shane Battier. Yeah. Is that-

Yeah, Shane Battier. That's like the same kind of wrinkly head, yeah. Guy with nutsack head. So that was like- What's that condition called? What is that called? Nutsack head. I'd say nutsack head, yeah, nutsack head. So that was like- What's that condition called? What is that called? Nutsack head.

Yeah, nutsack head. Yeah, it's really- Then it got weird. Scroat scalp? It got weird. Then there's a lot of masks of people actually having balls hanging from their chin. It got very strained. Yeah, yeah.

It got very deep into it. All because someone was like, I'm worried that if I shave my head, I'll have that nutsack head. It'll look like a long head. No, he said a line in the back of his head. Oh, a line. And I immediately thought ball head. Oh, and then you escalated it to-

Yeah, I really- I went from zero to 60 really quick. Right, right, right. Because I was like, it's hard for- the back of his head. Oh, a line. And I immediately thought bald head. Oh, and then you escalated it too. Yeah, I really, I went from zero to 60 really quick. Right, right, right. Because I was like, it's hard for, he's complaining about being bald. I'm like, it's way harder for women to be bald. Right. Because it's very, you can't. Societally looked at as being the thing that can't happen.

It can't happen. That's for men. And it does. And at least women wouldn't have that. Right. I don't know, what is caused by that? What is sack head? Do we know what sack head is? I don't know. I'm sure there are women. Maybe there are women who't have that. Right. I don't know. What is caused by that? What is sackhead? Do we know what sackhead is?

I don't know. I'm sure there are women. Maybe there are women who would have that. Women with sackhead. That's upsetting. I think it's like a naturally, I would assume because Shane Battier had it when he was a teenager, right?

Like at Duke. Who is this? Is this a sports guy? He's a basketball player. He's a sportsman. And he was a sportsman. He was a sporting man yeah I think my first

interaction with you know the little bit of the wrinkles it was maybe Botox it's oh there he just hit his head with a bunch of Botox

oh interesting but I don't know you don't really have a fat head and then like you lose weight and just your scalp like that seems

I mean I'm pretty sure your skull size is fixed unless you're on HGH like Barry Bonds, whose like hat size went like nine sizes larger. Yeah, that's how you know. Yeah.

Hey, look, if you know about scalp sculpt, sculpt, sculptum, scalpum, let us know what that is. Yeah. What is... We don't know.

What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? I mean, this is going to sound really bad and I know people are going to hate me. Arby's.

Mm-mm. People, all I do is argue with people about Arby's. You know, I'm not, let me just know. I'm very stupid, so I don't know a lot about the news. So don't hate on me, but this is what I think about, and it's Arby's. Because I really like, honest to God, the curly fries, you're not getting these other places. You're not getting two sandwiches for $5 with that kind of meat. Who knows if it's meat? It doesn't matter what it is.

Wait, does Arby's have the meats? Oh, they have the meats. They have something. With an asterisk. I mean, I think it comes out of a clear bag and dries in the sun. I'm not sure how they make Arby's. Steph, what's your Arby's order? Two beef and cheddars.

Oh my God. And then because they have the Arby's sauce, you can help yourself on the sauce. I love having the sauce. Horsey sauce, bro. Horsey sauce and the Arby's sauce. I'm disgusting too. I honestly will. I'll look you in your eyes

and tell you you're speaking truth. I will soak in that. That's how I- Two beef and cheddars. There's cheddar sauce and then you're adding Horsey sauce to the cheddar sauce. And then you're adding Arby's sauce.

Yeah. Okay. And you're getting an onion bun. What is Arby's sauce? You're not getting enough onion bun. It's like a lame barbecue sauce. Yeah. It's not-

Yeah. Very sweet. I don't mess with the Arby's sauce as much. I'm more of a horsey plus my beef and cheddars. But sometimes you need that tang. You need a little tang. It's funny because the Arby's have gone out of style in

LA. So typically when I have it, it's like on a road trip. And I'm always like, when I'm on the road, I'm like, I'm going to fucking Arby's. And my partner, Her Majesty, she'll be the road, I'm like, I'm going to fucking Arby's. Yeah. And my partner, Her Majesty, she'll be like, why are you, no.

People get very upset. There's one Arby's in Hollywood. I know about that one. Yeah, that's a big one. It looks like it's from a different time. Oh,

it is. That big ass neon sign? Hell yeah. Yeah, the big neon hat sign. No, they're not changing. They're staying exactly

where they are and they're getting the exact same clients. Right, right. They have not upped their game at all. They need a new, like another Saving Silverman moment.

Because Saving Silverman put Arby's kind of back into the zeitgeist. Oh, I didn't even realize that. Oh, yeah, because they were feeding her like when she was their captive, they were feeding her like Big Montana's and shit. Like that was her, like their prisoner food. So is it safe to say that Arby's is the Neil Diamond of the fast food world? Possibly. Slightly underrated.

Is Neil Diamond underrated? Yeah. Not to a certain generation. Yeah. Yeah. But he was brought back into limelight by Saving Silverman, right? Yeah. But I think that's what I'm...

Yeah. See, Arby's didn't get that same glow up, even when they did Meat Mountain. Right. Which I had. Delicious. What was Meat Mountain? Meat Mountain was every motherfucking

meat they made in that place on one sandwich yeah they know what they're doing yeah they're just putting everything into one thing

at this point I've known some I've known some Arby's diehards not just Miles before and they're in terrible their health is in terrible

oh no we're all very ill we're all very sick my eyesight has been slowly going Sorin Bui is a teen heartthrob. Soren's a big Arby's guy? Big Arby's guy.

Love Soren. I love Soren. Yeah. You can tell. You know the devil knows their own. Right. What is something you think is overrated? Again, people are going to hate me.

I think TikTok is very overrated. Maybe because I'm too old and I don't understand how to use it. I don't know. To people in this room, I'm like, yeah'm like i was like do you guys use tiktok i feel like it's just like it's videos just shorter and edited i don't know it's like go see a live show and you'll see something way funnier than that yeah it's just the karaoke aspect and other stuff yeah you know i think it's become a vine replacement basically that's what was needed because vine for i mean man vine was cranking out some real funny shit um but i

feel like every video on tiktok is just either a weird teen wearing not enough clothes and i feel very uncomfortable looking at it i had to delete it or it's like someone like moving their arm and then their clothes change right and i'm like okay i'm like i don't know what this who is this for maybe i just that's not my thing i don't know there's moments where i see like young kids doing actually kind of funny bits on there and i'm like oh okay so like it's funny because a lot of the people who are really funny on it that are younger i'm like it's interesting to see them really embrace like pure visual irony more right because it won't be like jokes or whatever like verbal stuff they'll be like just really funny visual gags like the euro step

right train that you see like the kids in the gym doing the Eurostep conga line. Yeah. Or the one bit where people like pour water like into a cup, like from up high and like empty the cup, there's nothing in there. And then when they sit up, it's just all over their crotch. Okay, well that's fun. It's simple, but yeah, I know at the same time,

you then see other stuff and I'm like, whoa, did I see like a half of an action movie? And the other one was like breastfeeding videos pretending to be educational and you're like, no, did I see like a half of an action movie? And the other one was like breastfeeding videos pretending to be educational. I don't know what that is. Yeah, maybe I think I just don't understand it. I did one video. I have this shark puppet and it got negative views.

And I'm like, well, I hate TikTok. Someone came to your house and ripped up the puppet. You're like, you need to leave. You need to go back to Canada. I'm like, yeah, okay, fair. All right, yeah. The Eurostep video, though, is if people haven't watched it,

check it out. It's so stupid. It's all trend. It's so funny. I don't know what the hell you're talking about either. Yeah, it's another basketball thing. For some reason,

we're going basketball heavy. Hey, Toronto, though. We looked at you. Raptors, baby. King of the North. I went to that big celebration that they had. Was it lit?

It was too much, no. There was like, people from all over the goddamn world that felt like in this one small area of Toronto and they did not think

it was going to be that big so I was like crammed in a corner and I got, a man with shaved arms walked by me and like sliced my arm and I'm like,

I'm leaving. Sliced your arm with his stubbly hair? His stubble was so gross and everyone was so gross and so wet and hot and he just went, and I looked down

and there's, I swear to God, there's like three little like line marks and I'm like, I'm leaving, I can't do this. Wow. I don't and there's I swear to God there's like three little like line marks I'm leaving I can't do this wow I don't like the Raptors

this much I was like literally like that I was like no it's like sandpaper I'm like no I'm leaving wow and then I went to a bar

and then right where I was standing somebody got shot so I'm really glad I left somebody got shot at the Toronto or they didn't get hurt though it was like a graze or something oh okay wow

but there was some open fire I don't think they talked about that really wow probably kept it under wraps it's not what I expect from Toronto I know well they definitely about that, really. Wow. Probably kept it under wraps. That's not what I expect from Toronto. I know. Well, they definitely kept that assault with the man's arm stubble under wraps.

I mean, that was a bigger deal, I think, than the shooting. Well, that's something I can envision. Just like even if I fill my own cheek hair or something, but an intense version that was so abrasive that you looked and you're like, I have scars. He was a very European man, too, so it was thick. It's like those were very thick hairs

but clearly like very self-conscious about his arm oh very his whole body he had just like got a wax or shaved his whole body

and it was all coming in it was all a bit lumpy it was all a bit rashed yeah wasn't good I saw him coming I'm like no no don't walk by me

no please please yeah it was time to leave I'm bleeding time to go and finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false Please, please. Right. Yeah, it was time to leave. I'm bleeding. Time to go. And finally, what is a myth?

What's something people think is true you know to be false? Oh, I read it the opposite way. Either way. It can be either way. I think Bigfoot is real. Hell yeah. Is this a stupid thing? I'm the first person to say this. Go on.

Go off, actually. I don't even know. I think Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Are we really? Again, I said I was stupid. We're not out in the woods every minute of the day. We're not, we don't know what's up there. We're not at the top of the mountain hanging out.

I feel like, you know what I mean? We don't know for sure. And I feel like if someone is, I know I did a project on Bigfoot when I was in high school and I found a lot of photos. I mean, it could have been a blurry log that looked like two arms. Yes. But it looked like a thing. Isn't logic more based off of when people think of space

where like, we haven't seen everything, so how can we know everything? You're like, we haven't seen the whole mountain. Exactly. 90% of Canada is uninhabitable. See? That's just uninhabited. Uninhabitable. Yeah, you can't get up there. There's a lot of woods. There's a lot of deep woods.

The Sasquatch. The Sasquatch might be able to... When Chris Crofton was on, claiming that There's a lot of woods. There's a lot of deep woods. By a normal human, but a bigfoot. The Sasquatch might be able to. When Chris Crofton was on claiming that he heard interviews of someone's uncle who had saw a bunch of big feet under a tarp after Mount St. Helens. Yeah. We said the plural is still bigfoot or big feet. I think it would have to be bigfoot. Bigfoot.

Bigfoot. Let me look it up. Bigfoot. Bigfoot. See, somebody else believes it. I just feel like it's also fun to think about it just that weird thing

roaming around that's just silly to me what if he's wearing clothes you don't know I'm a skeptic I'm a skeptic but I'm also I'm willing to entertain

most ideas anyway so I'm more just like that's all it is I like to hear that I don't know if I believe it but I like that as a story yeah yeah yeah I think it's fun

to think about it's big feet it's big feet you got egg on your face. I feel like a fool. You said that with your chest out. Very confident. Wow.

And his shirt's off for some reason. It's back on. Is Bigfoot popular in Canada? I don't think so. The obsession? No, maybe a little bit. Because I feel like it's a very, like Americans really are all in on that shit.

Yeah, they ride for that. Isn't there a lot of shirts or Bigfoot crossing or Sasquatch? Oh, yeah. There's a lot of things like that. I mean, we also had a TV show, Harry and the Hendersons. That was a great show.

I mean, maybe that's also why I want to believe it's real because he was so sweet and nice. Yeah, very thoughtful. Very nice guy. Helped out. Was John Lithgow not feeling it in the beginning?

No, then he came around. Then he came around. That was a movie, right? That's the movie. Was it ever a show? I don't know. I feel like at one point, the set used to be at Universal Studios

in the early days of Universal Studios. And it was a standing set as if there were... I could be fucking up my whole shit. Anyway. Harry and the Hendersons TV show. Yes, it was a TV series. 91 to 93.

Oh, wow. Damn. A successful TV series. It was, yeah., wow. Damn. A successful TV series. It was, yeah. But that didn't have Lithgow in it. The dad was different in that one. There's your problem right there. That's why it didn't go for 10 seasons.

I think everybody will believe. It was frigging Bruce Davison. I'd also like to say, what can they keep happening? It's like, oh, the neighbor saw him again, ducked down, basically, like, I don't know what. Pretend you're a stuffed thing. You're the mailman now, put on this suit.

Like how many episodes? It has 72 fucking episodes. Wow. You, you think there was a drug use one? A Bigfoot drug use one? Cause you know, like a sitcom that went from 91 to 93.

Where Bigfoot like catches a predatory, like neighbor or something. Who's like- Smoking pot or something. And then he starts playing the dare program. The kids are smoking pot. He goes to the school. But Bigfoot gets high accidentally.

Oh, yeah. Bigfoot ate someone's magic brownies. Right. That's like a 98. I mean, Bigfoot probably knows all about mushrooms. Oh, hell yeah. Bigfoot is high as fuck. He's out there grazing.

He probably thinks he's hallucinating the Hendersons. Speaking of successful long-running TV shows, Finding Bigfoot is an American television series that ran from 2011 to 2018, where a group of Bigfoot field researchers embark on a mission to find the creature and repeatedly come into contact with him, but the camera's never on or shooting.

Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of dark footage with close-ups of people's faces and then go, what was that? Yeah, see, Blair Witch opened an entire door to bullshit TV shows being like, yo, you hear that? You hear that? What do you mean, bullshit? Let's talk about food waste.

Yeah. Meijer, the Midwest grocery chain, is doing something kind of cool. I remember it's spelled Meijer, but pronounced Meijer. Oh, wow. Yeah. Very refined. A little Midwestern wisdom for you there. But basically, customers are going to be able to use an app to find out about half-priced food that's nearing

its expiration date so that Meijer is less likely to waste as much food and people will have food at great prices. There's like $18.2 billion worth of waste that goes on in the grocery industry of just

shit that doesn't get bought. And they're like, okay, we gotta throw this shit out. And it's just such a terrible issue. I know in Europe and other places, they're trying to take this a little more seriously. I'm sure in Canada probably. Because this app that they're using is Canadian-based technology. Flash food.

But it makes it easy. The grocery store can just, to the app, upload their inventory of shit that's about to go off. And then people can look in the app. They'll set it shit that's about to go off and then people can look in the app they'll set it aside you come in pick it up boom 50 off oh that's nice you're getting good in the neighborhood now this requires some a lot of precision from the born on date people uh yeah or not born on date the that's a bud light thing yeah that's a bud that's the only expiration date i'm familiar with is a born. It's a born on day for a beer.

But that's being somebody who's been buying a lot of milk in the past couple of years. There's a lot of milk that you'll just randomly get a batch that's like bad a month before it's supposed to go off. Yeah, yeah. Really? We just had that in the office. Yeah, it's strange. There was something that was like weeks away. Yeah.

The first pour. It's just like a pallet that got Yeah. First pour, drinking sour coffee. Like a let out on the, like left out in the warm or something. It's the same way like when they don't know

how to transport beer, like Heineken, you gotta keep that shit cold. But if it gets like hot and then you refrigerate it, the flavor goes off. You know, my hop heads know about this,

right? This thing. Well, maybe Canada's doing something right because we still have bags of milk. Bags of milk? Yes, yes. Sorry, we should never.

In these United States? In North America? Yeah, satchel, satchel, satchel page, satchel milk. Like liters, like little liters of milk. A wine skin of milk. Yeah. Interesting. It comes in a leather, like a wine bow.

Yeah, exactly. You just drink it out. Oh, it's very expensive. Like fishing. Yeah, Interesting. It comes in a leather, like a wine boda. Yeah, exactly. You can imagine drinking milk out of a casket while you're out fishing. They're $40 each. Yeah, I know we don't drink a lot of milk. Is that fat content high in Canadian milk? I think it's the same, whatever, 2% skim, same shit. Oh, man. I just love fatty milk.

Thick milk, huh? Whole milk straight to the heart. Thick milk, man. thick milk straight to the heart thick milk man I mean that's it's almost worth depriving yourself of whole milk until like for a while so that you can

because I like grew up on skim milk and ate that with cereal like every morning white water oh yeah I did too and then when I

finally tasted what cereal is supposed to taste like when I ate it with whole milk woo that was like it's like I went to church that when I ate it with whole milk. Woo! I was like. It's like I went to church that day. I did.

Man, that was a beautiful thing. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We will be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and, of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this.

In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds. Sword Quest.

This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. That would be my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing.

It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor

for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to the legend of sword quest on the I heart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Bruce Bozzi on my podcast table for two. We have unforgettable lunch after unforgettable lunch with the best guest you could possibly ask for people People like David Duchovny.

You know, New Yorkers have a reputation of being very tough, but it's not. It's not that way at all. They're very accepting. Jeff Goldblum. Are you saying secret fries? Secret fries. That's what you're saying? Yeah. And Kristen Wiig. I just became so aware that I'm such a loud chewer. My husband's just like, sometimes I'll be eating and he'll just be looking at me. I'm like, I'm just eating. Like, I don't know how else to chew. Table for Two is a bit different from other interview shows.

Listen to Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close

to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current.

Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And it's time to check in with the impeachment inquiry. Girl, I'm talking about impeaching this yesterday lieutenant colonel vinman uh and jennifer williams yeah mike pence's aid testified yeah they fucking wow this group of people were both i they were on they were on the call right call july 25th okay that's that's for everyone who needs a primer. The call in which they're saying the president was really asking President Zelensky of Ukraine to say,

I need you to do me a favor. I need you to look into this other shit real quick, and then maybe get your aid. And their testimony was very, I mean, they're basically fact witnesses to this. So the Republicans, you know, it's kind of the usual thing. Democrats are asking a lot of pointed questions to sort of illuminate the situation and give context to the sort of level of abuse of power that the president was engaging in. And then the Republicans just shamed themselves trying to smear them. And it got, dude, it started off spicy. I loved how it started off.

Devin Nunes, the ranking member for the Republicans on this committee, referred to Lieutenant Colonel Vindman as Mr. Vindman. And just listen to this exchange. Mr. Vindman, you testified in your deposition that you did not know the whistleblower. Ranking member, it's Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, please. Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, please. Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, you testified in the deposition

that you did not know who the whistleblower was. Devin Nunes was like, you did not, fuck. Okay, you chest-passed the ball right back to me. I mean, it kind of does get at where the Republicans are coming from because they like Vindman and Jennifer Williams are both kind of the bipartisan career officials who take pride in the fact that they've worked for Democrats and Republicans and like they're just all about duty and service. And they're trying to, you know, pretend that they're just some ordinary schmo.

Yeah, partisans. And also I think because Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, whose family left Ukraine, I believe, like they were trying to paint this whole dual loyalty thing and smear him. And he later on in during his testimony was like, I was, I wanted to clarify that because a lot of people are trying to diminish

what my actual service is to this country to try and say that whatever I'm going to testify to could be bullshit or have other kinds of motivations. And so then they continue to this sort of line when they started asking him, like the Ukrainians had offered him a position as defense minister and they didn't quite fully push it, but you know, they did that shit to just try and make him look like, maybe he got his head turned. I don't know. They offered him pretty...

It's wild how many of these people who saw this stuff just have a vendetta against the president and are all sleeper agents. Just a bunch of Manchurian candidates waiting for the code word. And then what they also said too was, you know, Vindman especially said

that when he looked at some of their readouts or like what the White House had released, they said there was like references to corruption or tackling corruption. And Vindman was like, I was on two calls and I never even heard those words uttered. So like these are inaccurate. Wow. So that was another. That's new, right? Like I had heard people say that there were little things that were off about the transcripts or the memos but he is suggesting that like a material part of the

president's alibi which is no i just i'm worried about corruption in ukraine i never heard that uh he's saying that that was added yeah later date uh and then then trump i think because everybody was begging him to not tweet during this testimony, because last week when Maria Ivanovich was testifying, he basically came at her like everywhere she goes, she left it as a mess. Somalia. Look at this now. And so this time, I guess he's wised up and used the Trump war room account to tweet this. Alexander Vindman is an unelected bureaucrat who is upset that President Trump was leading foreign policy instead of sticking to Vindman's talking points. He complained that what President Trump said on July 25th call

was not in the preparation material that I had offered. And then goes on to be like they had serious concerns or whatever. And again, Jim Jordan, I think, was trying to sort of smear him further by being like, well, how come Tim Morrison said he was afraid of you leaking. Dude.

Vindman pulls up another thing goes, here's, here's my evaluation from my direct report. Right. Dr. Fiona Hill that says I'm the greatest army intelligence officer she's ever worked with. I'm beyond reproach. I'm that dude.

Now get the fuck out my face. Yeah. And it was getting, I mean, I think a lot of people were sort of on pins and needles waiting to see just how gross the Republicans would be to try and either paint him as some, you know, what's the word I'm looking for? Undercover operative. Yeah, or just had no loyalty. Anti-Trump.

Yeah, was a spy or some shit. Yeah. And they danced around it, but I'm sure that little bit of mention of this offer of the defense minister gig is going to make its way to like Laura Ingram or one of them later on today where they'll continue to talk about that. Yeah. And it was, uh, it was also revealed that his family, uh, the, he asked for the military to look at, like look into threats being made against his family and they're going to be relocated for their safety yeah so

it's because you look at the media apparatus on the right they're trying to paint this guy's like look at this guy yeah he's trying to start a coup right they were trying to basically say that tim morrison is a bipartisan person and that vinman is uh you, has a vendetta against Trump. But the truth is that Vindman has been, has worked for multiple administrations and is a respected intelligence officer. And Tim Morrison is a political appointee. Right. Who's, you know, right wing.

So that's where that is. How have you been keeping up with the impeachment story? That's all I've heard. Boom. I don't, I told you I'm stupid. I don't, I haven't really kept up. Well,

it's just, I don't think. It's a lot. It's too much. It's too much. And it's a lot. And I can't, I hate Trump.

I hate thinking about him. I don't want to. Yeah. I know I should, I need to, but it's like, I just, I hear enough comics on stage yapping.

I can't. Yeah. I know. I'm sure everyone, everyone's got, everyone has a Trump joke. The same Trump joke. Trump looks like an inside out asshole. I don't know. I'm sure everyone's got. Everyone has a Trump joke. Type five on Trump. The same Trump joke.

Trump looks like an inside out asshole. I don't know. It's the same fucking. Right. That's not. Not my inside out asshole. Well, have you ever turned yours inside out? No.

Yes. Is it bright orange? It depends. It's got a few hairs. So you're going to love this next story. Okay. Can't wait. Because a former White House physician says Trump.

next story okay because uh a former white house physician says trump so trump visited walter reed hospital last weekend and it was sort of an unannounced unplanned visit and he was like oh it was part of my uh you know normal phase one phase one of my physical okay uh and so this doctor who was the white house physician under Obama expressed concern over his health, skepticism that this was anything other than like an emergency because of some sort of problem that he was having. He dismissed it as absolute balderdash, which makes him sound cool. Balderdash? Isn't that a board game? It is a fun game. He said maybe he had chest pain.

Maybe he had some neurological. I think he is someone who has some neurological issues, which no one has ever really addressed. Wow. And then later they asked him to elaborate. And this physician, who was the White House physician physician very recently said he is having trouble word finding when he said United Shush instead of the United States. These are words he can't find them. This is happening over and over again. Comedians joke about it. It's not a joking matter. I think there's a neurological issue that's not being addressed. If he had an MRI of his head over there, I would be very pleased. I think he needs it. So this is something that there's been sort of, you know, people who pay attention to the media

have like made this allegation, but I don't think there's been like an official, you know, doctor who has been like, I mean, maybe there has been. I know a doctor who was going to, in their right mind, just be like, I'm going to diagnose this guy through a TV. Right. Though most they'll do is like, you know, what I'm seeing, it could suggest this, but, you know, because I'm trying to act like ethically, I can't fully be like, yo, there's something wrong with this dude's head. Right. Maybe he's just dyslexic? Dyslexic?

I think he is. And he's just slowing, he's just slowing down. I mean, like, it's just night and day, even when he was on the campaign trail to try and be elected right like the speed at which he speaks the like energy he has he's an old man yeah an old stupid man also i'm still on the phase one right how many phases this guy have for a physical i thought you walked in it took like 20 minutes to do the old in the butt, out of the butt cough. I mean, at 70, like I think there's a lot

going on. On a face, that's terrifying. Well, last year, his last physical took like almost three hours. Right.

Because I think they do an entire battery. But again, it was just because of how healthy he is and they were just amazed. They were like, this is the healthiest

70 year old we've ever seen. Yeah, wow. Look at how big and amazing his dick is. Yeah, like it's very, it's very non-mushroomy. They had to big and amazing his dick is. Yeah, it's very non-mushroomy.

They had to have all the doctors come in. I've never thought of his dick until right now. That's upsetting. Sadly, Stormy Daniels had to actually describe it in full detail. Oh, did she? No, no, no. She said it was Toadstool.

That's where we're at. Covered in moss. There's something very serious, though, underlying this, though, because you don't just go to the doctor like that. You're rushed over. Because they're also saying, like, typically if you were to ever go to Walter Reed Medical Center, he would take Marine One helicopter there. But he was like, you need to take the car.

He wanted to go then. So I don't know it's i think it's something i i can't imagine it's some casual shit right um yeah that's what he said he said that like this just knowing what he knows about how things proceed although if i was president and i had like a great medical facility at my disposal i could see myself getting high go on web md once i'm like yo i gotta go go right now because I think everything is wrong. But I don't think this is that president's vibe. Also, no, he also has free health care probably. He doesn't pay, so he doesn't give a shit. I don't think he's ever paid for anything.

One thing that I just wanted to put out there, and we can move on, but I'm curious if NBC News is officially kind of making a move toward the right, because in the past couple of weeks, there was their analysis of the extremely damning testimony on the opening day of the impeachment hearings where they said that it lacked the pizzazz necessary to make people care. make people care uh and then there was an opinion piece the same week where they were like the best way to deal with the monstrous behavior uncovered by me too is not to fire the men um but just overall what was their solution yeah uh i know yeah exactly roll up a newspaper i'm just wondering if they're seeing a strategic space open up between like the what is oh because everything's regarded as like centrist both sides mainstream media and now fox news has completely become a heads-up display vision of how trump sees the world so it's like maybe they're thinking well there's room for somebody to occupy the typical normal right right um well i know like a lot of the candidates are concerned about it because the next debate

is being hosted by NBC. Yeah. Like, can y'all look into this toxic culture over there? Yeah. There's, yeah, that's the other thing is that, I mean, we, they allowed Matt Lauer to, you know, stay on. They refused to release the Weinstein story and actively blocked it. Right.

They had Donald Trump on SNL and Jimmy Fallon. So, I mean, maybe they've been doing this all along and I just wasn't paying attention. Well, I mean, ultimately, they're driven by ratings. Right. So, I think, man, when you watch some of the coverage, especially when Bloomberg entered the race, they were like, yeah, yeah, this makes sense. This is good. Right. This is good.

Yeah. yeah, this makes sense. This is good. This is good. But that's why you also have to be a little bit aware when you watch any kind of corporate media too, because there's a certain level of reporting and then their own opinion comes into it to sort of give you a take. But you also have to know where that's coming from. And when you look at a bunch of people on MSNBC who have come out of all kinds of financial sectors, whatever, the top elites of the world, of course, they're going to have these sort of takes on Bloomberg and things like that. But,

you know, I think it's just, you just got to look, that's why I got to listen to this show, man. Right. We're the only people tiny of the truth. Yeah.

I mean, Bigfoot exists. Okay. That's the official state of the show. A lot of the truth's gone here. I do. Eggs and milk, Sasquatch.

Yeah. All the important stuff. Yeah. Like even the mainstream quote unquote centrist media is reacting to like their center is based on both sides in it between like what is essentially a centrist democratic side of things and then like a extremist right wing organization. So they they even end up on the right. So if if they think there's room in there i mean i don't mind when you have differing opinions no no but it's sometimes when they start like platforming just like you know dog whistling racism or trying to

like obscure like predatory behavior within the network and things like that that's you're like hold on what now what the fuck guys let's check in with the democrats what's going on what's going on baby pete budaj is now the front runner according to the mainstream media that's how they're well in iowa right and that was like but a single poll came out and said he's the front yeah well it's like i think the des moines register poll and And that's like a very respectful. Yeah. Yeah. And Iowa. And a lot of people were quick to point out like when I think 2004, Dick Gebhardt was like the number one for the Democrats. Right. Because that was like another time when like no one really had their shit together and

knew who the fuck they were going to vote for. Dick Gebhardt. Yeah. Yeah. And that's who was like this sort of same time period. That's who was the front runner. Yeah. And then for the Republicans like in 2000.

Herman Cain. Yeah. Herman Cain. So, so you know shit changes but i think really when you look nationally right uh joe biden is still by far head and shoulders in the lead he's 32 percent in this very specific poll then bernie sanders then elizabeth warren was 17 percent uh but no other candidate pulled in the double digits aside from those three but But he's got a 12 point lead over Sanders nationally. But Bernie's in second place, which...

Yeah, and look, he can shoot a better jump shot than... And also doesn't have dated takes on weed. Right. And does just one phase of his physical. He just goes in. Goes in, does the physical. In and out like a fiddler's elbow. Or be like, yeah, look, I had a heart attack. Straight up. Okay? I'm being honest. Too much Arby's. I'm getting the hell out of here out like a fiddler's elbow. Or be like, yeah, look, I had a heart attack. Straight up. Okay?

I'm being honest. Too much Arby's. Let's keep it moving. I'm getting the hell out of here. Oh, man. Arby's. Think about how little coverage Sanders gets compared to Buttigieg right now. Buttigieg is getting covered like he is the presumptive favorite because of that poll.

Like he's- Well, and again, there's so many takes or there's so many pieces being written too about how the panic from the billionaire class is really starting to ramp up right like you know we played that one that one dude should have crying on tv yeah about his money being possibly taxed and like this wealth tax happening so when you look at when you sort of take that into the wrong guy i want to give my money away you shouldn't be allowed to take my money that I sort of extracted, even though the government had provided the infrastructure for me to manipulate and then the regulations. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

This is my money. So I think when you see that, too, they have to also think of like, well, if who do we pivot to if it's not Biden? Right. And then their problem, we say this a lot, is like the next two people are both coming for that wealth tax. And that doesn't work for them. Yeah. And I think anyone else, it's like it's got to be someone who is going to go a little bit easier.

It's like, yeah, let's do like a sort of ceremonial wealth tax or something. Something that looks like a nice gesture. Ceremonial wealth tax. And then, but like let's- We'll do a lottery where one billionaire every year has to be taxed. Yeah. And then we all put our money together and then we'll pay it. Right.

But yeah, I think it's, I mean, a lot of people are also sharing that clip of Pete Buttigieg talking to like a bunch of Tea Party people like in, I forget how long, maybe 2009 or 10. Right. When Obama was president. Yeah. I'm talking about how he respects their like true belief. Their concerns about the direction of the country,

which the Tea Party came out of Obama being president and they're like, this black guy is doing too much. Yeah. But anyway, we'll see. I mean, you know, this is the time when you're going to start seeing a lot of the little attacks and things come out because we're getting closer and closer and we got a debate tonight. Yeah.

So we'll see. There's a whole longer report that we need to do about Buttigieg's past. I think it's McKinsey, which is a consulting firm that is very, very closely tied to the CIA and does a lot of international relations work that's shady. relations work that's like shady and like he helped i think i think after his time in the military he was in charge of uh doing like economic development in places where the military was actively like fucking shit up like in iraq and afghanistan which is you know hey that's the american to be honest dude that that's someone fit to be president of this country. And you can also hear about that on Worst Year Ever.

Oh, yeah, they did a whole- Robert Evans' podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's pour one out real quick for Mina Chang. Yeah. She's the State Department official, I guess, who was called out because she was making up most of her resume and using a fake Time Magazine cover of herself to- Just boost her credit, you know? Yeah.

It's a story of just straight scamming. Yeah. I mean, we all have the fake Time Magazine cover on our wall in our office. Well, you have the mirror. Right. That is Time Person of the Year, and you just look right into it. Right. And you go, ah.

But she was already lying about going to Harvard, all these other things. And when she was being considered for a larger position aid mission to Afghanistan where apparently no aid was delivered. She also said she had a degree in international development from the University of Hawaii, but the university doesn't even offer that degree. It doesn't have a program for that. That's one of those things you got to fact check. Yeah, you got to do some Googling. It's like Googling. Yes. Then they went further and said, I'm going to be real with you.

We don't even have Amina Chang. Like, I've been registered here. Right. Wow. And then we said last time she had a fake UN position. It was the UNESCO cross-cultural ambassador. And UNESCO was like, we have no position like that. She also said she won CBS Humanitarian of the Year Women That Soar Award in 2012.

And CBS says we have no award by that name. Right. Wow. I mean, kind of creative, though. Yeah. I'll give her that. But just think about all the people, like how many officials in the government must just be scammers who know how to use Google.

Right. Like the good ones. All she had to do was find real awards and find actual colleges that offer that as a major. Putting confidence in the word con job. It's really not hard to do that. My first job, I lied and said I had a serving job. You just give your friend's number,

you tell them to change their answering machine, and now you get a job. Yeah, she worked at this Arby's. I've been a landlord for six people in the city. Yeah, right. Oh yeah, they rent and pay me by. Right.

Yeah. Just change your voicemail, please. But those are the ones where we know we can get away with. You know, just a few. We can set up, we can create that fake reality. I guess they just would assume

that she wouldn't make something like that up because you can check it. Like, I guess, they're not going to look into it. I graduated top of my class at Harvard. Wink, wink, wink. University of Hawaii, no one's going over there.

No one's checking on Hawaii. But apparently it was her worst nightmare and they did. I mean, even the way she... So then she resigned because it got too hot. Because they were like, hold on, what is this? Suddenly, uh-oh, you don't want to be here anymore? But she said, from her resignation letter said resigning is the only acceptable moral and ethical option for me at this point.

And then she goes on to say, in already difficult times, the Department of State is experiencing what I and many believe is the worst and most profound moral crisis confronting career professionals and political appointees in the department's history. Department morale is at its lowest. The professionalism and collegiality, once a hallmark of the U.S. diplomatic service, has all but disappeared. But it's weird. So she's saying, like, I'm getting out because it's too fucked up. But then she later says, I want my resignation to be seen as a sign of protest rather than surrender.

It's like, you got caught. Well, just say you got caught. Yeah, at this point. Go back to Instagram scamming because you got 44,000. Go to DeVry College, get an actual degree. Yeah. How would protest be?

She's like, fine. I'll protest your accusations. But then she's talking about how the State Department's so fucked up. Right. A character assassination based solely on innuendo was launched against me

attacking my credentials and character. My superiors at the department refused to defend me, stand up for the truth, and allow me to answer the false charges against me. Okay, how about this? She goes to her confirmation hearing. They say, true or false, did you go to Harvard? Right. Well, let me tell my side of the story. I could almost hear the orchestral's easy, it's easy.

Yes or no? I could almost hear the orchestral music swelling up in her mind as she was delivering that monologue. In already difficult times. Yeah. Well, you know, you hate to see it. But I mean, look, she's got 44,000 followers on Instagram, but can only get 200 likes on a photo?

Yeah, that's excellent. Oh, yeah. Wow. Okay. Whatever, I'm going to throw a little yeah. Wow. I think you bought followers. But hey, look, she had a Christmas album that she put out. I think people are fans. I think she has 44,000

fans from her music career. Alright, we're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.

I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and you guys prince andrew may so this is queen elizabeth's son third son uh may be too honorable it turns out uh so he was implicated in all the Epstein stuff, was photographed with one of the victims in the Epstein scandal,

and was just specifically called out as somebody who Epstein made underage children have sex with. And so he went on the BBC, on their Newsnight program, and was like, I'll tell these people. What they don't understand is that I'm incredibly charismatic and believable, and once they see that, they'll give me a pass on that. So first clue that he was incorrect about his belief in himself is that the person who has been with him his entire career as his PR guru, people called

it, uh, quit in protest because he knew that he was going to be so fucked by this interview. They're just like, don't you look, bro, you're guilty. Right. And you're going to look even guiltier in public. Yeah. At least if you don't say anything, people can just have to guess and not know. But I mean, it's God, the way he was handling some of these questions, I was cringing in my body because I could not believe the lack of self-awareness of the even situation he's in. Yeah, so let's listen to a couple clips from the interview where he totally, believably defends himself

against the charges that are being leveled against him. For the record, is there any way you could have had sex with that young woman or any young woman trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein in any of his residences? No. And without putting too fine a point on it, if you're a man, it is a positive act to have sex with somebody. You have to take some sort of positive action and so therefore if you try to forget it's very difficult to try and forget positive action. And I do not remember anything. I can't, I've racked my brain and thinking,

oh, well, when the first allegations, when the allegations came out originally, I went, well, that's a bit strange. I don't remember this. And then I've been through it and through it and through it over and over and over again. And no, nothing. Doesn't, never happened.

What? I don't, the logic. Wait, he was accused of having sex with a child. Yes. And a sex trafficking victim. And he thought, that's strange. That would have been positive. Yeah, that would have been a positive, fun thing

that I remembered and I can't remember it. So it must not have happened because I remember all the good times. All the good times. Oh my God, that's repulsive. can't remember it. So it must not have happened because I remember all the good times. All the good times. Oh my God. That's repulsive. Isn't that? That's disgusting.

That's incredible. I can't even. That's wow. It really does show you again, like it's the same thing like we're seeing with a lot of these powerful people who are like facing like repercussions all of a sudden. They're like almost confused by like what the deal is and like, I don't know. They need to go to acting classes or something because this is like i mean you need to go to fucking jail really well yeah i mean yeah overactive classes please but it's like that's not an excuse that's not an yeah let's hit some other highlights from the

interview he said that if he's guilty of anything it's being too honorable yeah because i think that that question came after they're saying like you knew he was convicted for this shit right and you still like hung out at his place yeah and he was like yeah i had to go and like break up with him kind of like end the friendship right so if anything i was too honorable and they're like yeah but then here you are pictured with him like after that yeah so you didn't end the friendship there. And here you are staying with him again. And here you are on the flight records going to his private island.

And yeah, the interviewer has to remind him they're talking about someone who was convicted of repeatedly raping children. He says, do I regret the fact that epstein has quite obviously conducted himself in a manner unbecoming yes and the interviewer says unbecoming he was a sex offender and he's like yeah right right uh i'm being polite i was being polite but you gotta hang out with him just one-on-one he's a real hoot that's why i gotta break up with this guy i mean it sounds based on all the people who have been pictured with him yeah it sounds like he's a real hoot that's what i gotta break up with this guy it sounds based on all the people who have been pictured with him yeah it sounds like he was a real hoot yeah also said that uh he stayed at epstein's house after he was obviously a sex criminal because it was convenient uh he's very foggy money to stay at a hotel on most details uh yeah he can't he can't afford that he's it's a

hostel or epstein's what am i supposed to do here? Only has hundreds of millions. I'm so rich, I don't have a fucking last name. Right. How about that? How about that? How about that? He's really foggy on most details of how he managed to appear in all these pictures with these children, but does remember that he couldn't have been raping a woman that night

or raping a girl that night because he was at a pizza party with his kids. Right. Yeah, raping those kids. He's really just – Even the thing with the sweating. Yeah. Do we have a clip? Is that the thing we have a clip of?

He's a – One of the victims was saying that she remembers very vividly of him perspiring, and he has – I don't know. This is his defense on why that's not possible. And you profusely sweating, and that she went on to have baths, possibly. There's a slight problem with the sweating, because I have a peculiar medical condition, which is that I don't sweat, or I didn't sweat at the time. And that was, oh, actually, yes, I didn't sweat at the time.

Because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War when I was shot at. And I simply, it was almost impossible for me to sweat. And it's only because I have done a number of things in the recent past that I'm starting to be able to do that again. So I'm afraid to say that there's a medical condition that says I didn't do it, so therefore. So therefore.

Therefore I didn't do it. Oh my God. Yeah. This is repulsive. I can't even. First of all, that's not, I don't think that's, where is the medical records on that?

That seems very. And especially like at that time. What does that mean? It's like, oh, now I sweat a lot. There was a few weeks where I stopped sweating, but I overcame that. Yeah. And now I'm sweating again yeah he uh they you know i googled i was like is that a thing that can happen temporary

uh anhydrosis can be genetic uh the queen is not known to have any such condition uh either way anhydrosis is not consistent with the account prince Andrew gave during the interview. And he's like stuttering. It's so fucking obvious. Well, this whole, like, again, especially when you have things like this, hopefully this reignites more interest or more accountability for what was going on with Jeffrey Epstein, because clearly this is something much larger than what it is. And when you look at all the people that are implicated,

his whole death looks more and more shady. And now the guards that were in the special housing unit where Jeffrey Epstein was, they're being charged now. Stick it to the powerful guys. To the guards. The guards, the minimum wage probably. Is this like their pound of flesh or something? Yeah, because they falsified their the records because they were supposed to be watching him every 30 minutes

or whatever and they said they weren't that they were just watching television and like walking around the common area yeah but it seems like it's going the fbi is looking much deeper into this now i mean that's so the chairman of the bureau of prisons says that the fbi is looking into it she had an exchange with uh somebody who's investigating it and said do you concur with the opinion that it was a suicide and the bureau of prisons director said that was the finding of the coroner and the the examiner said, do you have any evidence to suggest otherwise? And they said, I do not. And then when asked, like, is anybody looking into it?

They said the FBI is involved and they're looking at criminal enterprise. But it just all seems like they're just kind of hoping this shit goes away. Well, I mean, it's funny because Senator Kennedy of Louisiana has today also been saying like, we need to look into this more too. Yeah. It's just funny because it's one of those things where on both sides are very interested in what is going on with Jeffrey Epstein because it implicates fucking all powerful people all over the world.

Right. I think people on the right are very narrowly focused on being like, bring down Bill Clinton. Right. While most people on the left are like, end focused on being like bring down bill clinton right uh while most people on the left are like end this fucking network of powerful predators right um but i think at the i mean if there really is this you'd hope there's this sustained interest from both political parties to get to the bottom of it something might come out but i mean based on the people that are implicated you i don't know part of me is very cynical he's a sick pig let him rot in hell sorry sorry no but i mean like but if he was killed

right to protect these other people i think that's that's what is that's what needs to be found out because when you look at like fucking there's a photo of all these people like at once with him and you're like oh my god like how many fucking billions of dollars is that right there? Yeah. I think Bill Gates did it himself personally. Just went in there. Have you seen that guy jump? Guy can jump over a chair.

He can jump over a chair. He can jump into a prison. Yeah. Just one. Bound right in. And finally, there's a product from Spotify, Miles, that you came in raving about. I just want to use this.

It's the road trip playlist maker. Right. Because, you know, when you drive a lot, I typically just listen to the same four albums on a loop. Yep. And it's very dangerous because when you're familiar with songs and you're familiar with the order, you can get lulled into comfort and, you know, maybe get a little sleepy at the wheel sometimes. But this is a very, very interesting app that's only sadly only available in the United States right now. Okay. Canada, I'm sure they will include you soon. But it's great because what you do is you sort of answer this quiz and then it begins to fully curate a playlist

for you based on everything. So first you say, what's your location and where's your destination? So they can figure out how long it's going to take. Then when you've put in your itinerary, then they will say, okay, it's going to take about this much time. How about some more questions? Who are you traveling with? Going solo? You got kids, pets, you with your partner. Then you ask, what's your favorite genre for the road trip? Basically pop, hip hop, rap, country rock, all that that stuff what's your drive vibe even which is mellow sing-alongs high energy classic lovesick pedal to the metal or slow ride take it easy uh and then what's your ultimate driving song and then it'll be like six tracks that'll it'll suggest based on your past questions to fully kind of pin you and then from there it

asks what kind of car you're in. SUV, convertible, electric, sedan, pickup truck, whatever. Then it fully gives you the whole thing, and boom. You've got a fully curated vibe playlist to take on the road. I don't know. It's easy. I like the idea of it. I used to make a lot of CDs back in the day.

Back in my day, you'd burn a couple discs for the road trip, and that was like your playlist. But part of me, as I get older, I'll just let Skynet do everything now. I just have given all my consciousness to the digital gods through these apps. I'm waiting for the machine learning to make my life better. It already has, man. Make with it.

Every day, man. How do you know where the bird scooters end up? That's true. What's your favorite album to play on the road? man. Make with it every day, man. Yeah. How do you know where the bird scooters end up? That's true. That's true. Yeah. What's your favorite album to play on the road? My favorite album to play on the road. I mean, it changes,

but what's one, what's something. Okay. How about this more specifically, if you feel yourself getting tired and you're driving, is there an album you will play? Cause you'd be like, this shit is going to wake me the fuck up.

I mostly have playlists actually. Oh, okay. I got an album. Go. Death from above 1979, a Toronto band You're A Woman I'm A Machine

that if you cannot you can't sleep to that yeah it's like a very amazing you've seen them yeah they're great

I like I always listen to Toxicity System over now oh really oh yes that's a good one yes I will fucking

I will scream in the car and usually keep it moving I also just bought a Crazy Town CD kind of as a joke but it turns out I actually like the songs Crazy Town?

Yeah Butterfly Great song It's the album with that track but there's a couple other fun ones on there Are there other songs?

Yeah I mean I only know them because I guess I listen to that album a lot What's another good Crazy Town song? Oh I don't even know

the name of it now. It's track four. I can't think of a stupid name. Oh, I like that. Track four. That's all you need to know. Yeah, I don't know what it is. Man, remember that when you used to know an album

based on what number it was on the CD? I literally don't even know. Yeah. God, we're old. Man, that's great. You want to hear all about the Benjamins? That's track number 10 on No Way Out. Oh, yeah.

That's track, A Death Above, number seven. Little girl. Victory was a great opening cut. I still pay attention to what the opening cut is because I feel like that's a statement. Well, it also, like, yeah, for artists who really are trying to create an experience through their album,

that first song really is important. And you're always like, what are you doing here? What are you trying to give me? Probably Good Kid, Mad City is, like, an album that I will listen to all the way through. Oh, plenty of albums I can listen to, but ones that I, when I used to work a lot of raves and I would leave like the venues really late and have to drive like 300, 200 miles back to LA or some shit, I would be like melting off Red Bull that wasn't working. And I would just, if Surge wasn't there to scream in my ear, I might not be here today. No.

Well, Steph, it's been a pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you? At Steph Tolev on Instagram, and I think I'm at Step Toilet on Twitter. I put my name into Wikipedia, and it said, did you mean Step Toilet? I'm like, yes. Yes, I did. I'm looking into getting the license plate. Just getting cut off in the one-on-one by step toilet is really hilarious.

I'm not sure if that's a toilet that you like step up onto. I think it's like the squatty potty thing. A toilet. That's what I meant, like a step toilet. I think. I don't know. Or a toilet who marries your divorced parent. But I'm also like, yeah, I'm also like a gross comedian,

so I think there's like potty humor, step-to-step. It just kind of made sense. I kind of like it. Actually, I don't kind of like it. I really like it. You love it. I fucking love it, Steph. Actually, hold the fuck on.

I love it. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Yes. I will pull it up right now. There's a comedian, and he's from Texas, but he is in New York. His name is Martin Urbano and his Twitter account is very, very, very funny. He takes like, uh, articles of other people, whatever. Yes.

Yes. So it was, uh, why Tom Hanks can never play a bad guy. And then he just wrote not talented enough. And it's just, I don't know why. And he just writes stuff like this all the time like his Twitter is very very funny so I highly recommend following him he's very silly and very

funny that's great come on very funny guy find you follow me Twitter Instagram also gotta plug it again 420 day fiance get in there rate review, review, subscribe. Okay?

It's a whole vibe. And yeah, a tweet that I like. Let me pull it up. One is from Marcella Arguello. She tweeted, I guess she was on a flight, and somebody had their fucking hair dangling over the seat, and the hair was covering the TV screen on the airplane seat. And she just tweeted,

Ma'am, who the fuck? Over that photo. And then another one from at Rachel Pick. It says, uncircumcised? That's one hoodie she can't steal. Right. That's funny. Because women be stealing hoodies.

Oh my God. I have one hoodie that to this day, to this day. You miss it. I miss. And also one Arsenal jersey that someone took from me. It was an Alexander Hleb jersey. Very obscure player, but one of my most revered jerseys still. I don't know where it is.

RIP that jersey. Let's see. What do we got? What do we got? Ivan at Streets Behind tweeted, it's always okay, Boomer, but never are you okay, Boomer. Dutch Dastardly tweeted that at us. Jamie Loftus tweeted, The Bernard the Elf from the Santa Claus Eat Me Out Challenge.

Lee Yan tweeted, A man dons armor. The armor protects his vital organs from damage. He climbs into a mech, which encases the armored man. The mech then dons its own set of armor to protect its parts. The armored mech, piloted by a similarly armored man, picks up something with its hand. A sword. Okay.

That's a lot of characters. Yeah, that is. you were feeling that one yeah that is I was feeling that one and then somebody tweeted gun to your head Biden or Buttigieg and David Cross
