You're living your life out in Tuscany. And one day I'll just go to a cafe and see you there with Catwoman and just smile. We won't even say anything to each other. I'll just wink at me and then I'll walk away.

Smile to myself. Exactly. I am a husk of a man. This sort of does allude to. So yeah, yes. I like that story. Could you imagine if I faked my own death and then you saw me

in Florence because you're like, I think I'm stupid. But you actually just called me and then you saw me in Florence because you're like I think I'm a stupid. Right. But you actually just called me out when you saw me. Dude, what the fuck is this? Miles, it's Miles.

No. It's me. Giovanni. I've got her majesty on FaceTime. Oh, no. Oh, dude. No, I wouldn't do her majesty.

That's like how what's her face? From Greece. Olivia Newton-John. Remember her? Yes, her fucking husband tried to fake his own death or whatever. Damn, and failed? They found him in Mexico or some shit. He basically took a fishing trip and did not come back,

and she's like, I don't know where he went. He didn't say nothing. Wow. And then someone in the National Enquirer, shout out to Floyd Watch, found him. I was reading something recently that like five people a day are lost at sea or something crazy like that. Like people are lost at sea all the time. Great way to fake your death.

Hey, speaking of faking your death, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by Machiavelli himself, Mr. Blake Wexler! Hey, this is Blake Wexler, a.k.a.

Both. I won't press you on that one. Thank you. Both speakers are working. The front one and the back one. Right, exactly. Blake, we're thrilled to have you. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Big Plastic may be buying advertorials because there is a wild story in the New York Times about what can happen while you're drinking from a metal straw. When you don't use Plastrix. Plastrix. We're going to take a look at Louisiana as they brace to get hit three ways in terms of flooding. We're going to talk about where Trump is and his plan to add a question to the census. We are going to talk about where Jeffrey Epstein is in terms of his plan to get out of jail somehow. We're going to talk about Boeing.

Just all the heroes. We're going to talk about Jason Momoa's dad bod, the bagel boss, the fight that, yeah, we're going to. A lot of winners. Try and figure out how we should feel about this. Yeah. And we might even check in with a new product that we probably don't need, a new pizza innovation.

But first, Blake, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are, man? Deadwood movie Shakespearean. I watched the Deadwood movie finally, and I did really enjoy it. I was looking forward just to shutting my mind off but the dialogue in it I don't know if Shakespearean is actually the proper word but it wasn't like it was in the show like they did would you call it Shakespearean dialogue?

have you seen it? I haven't seen the movie I would call the show's dialogue somewhat Shakespearean it tightened right but this was more like thou like it was like strange it was even further way further but it was like strange. Oh, really? Yeah, it wasn't. It was even further. Way further.

Way further. Yeah. Yeah. Huh. But it was good. I thought it was a cool, you know, it added like a different aspect to it. I thought it was good. Did they say betwixt instead of between?

They might have. Wow. Yeah, or an equivalency to that. I mean, were Asian people still called Celestials? Very much. Yeah. Very much so. Almost constantly and exclusively.

Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But it's good? Yeah, I liked it. exclusively yeah but it's good yeah I liked it you know it's hard it's such a battle for you know coming back 10 years later to make something especially a show like that where people

fucking loved it and they got like everyone was back and it was funny seeing how everyone aged where what's his face Swergen Swergen has everyone aged where, what's his face? Swearegen? Swearegen? That actor? Swearegen.

Swearegen has not aged at all. He's perfect. Right. Homeboy called him Swearegen. Swearegen. Swearegen. Cock sucker. Someone asked me my favorite character from the show

and I said Woo. I was answering honestly. He's like, there are so many amazing characters in that show and you chose that guy, but I liked him. What was his right hand dude characters in that show, and you chose that guy, but I liked him. What was his right-hand dude's name that got, spoiler alert, you know what I mean? He was Mark Twain. Yeah.

Yeah. That guy, he was Warren in Something About Mary also. As a fact, my head almost fell off when I put that together. Oh, my God, yeah. Wait, he was also Warren in Something About Mary? What a range. Yeah. Could you have that character in a movie today?

Warren? Yeah. A lot of Farrelly Brothers shit, I think. Yeah. Huh? Yeah. A lot. A lot.

Yeah, I mean, just think of Pat Healy. I mean, the character of Pat Healy exists to this day. It was like, you know, I just love those retards. Yeah. Jokes like that. I mean, you know. I feel like you can get away with it because that's the point of the character. But having somebody do like whatever the. You would get a lot of fucking flack for portraying that character like that. If you were just like, I don't know.

It's a goofy movie. It's funny. Try it out. Right. Yeah. What is something you think is overrated? Having things on your keys like uh keys on your keys yeah like like the silencer like your keychain huh oh it's what wait i'm sorry what you have the caps that you put on the top of the key so when they they

don't clang as much oh my god no i've never heard what are you doing how much are you sneaking around that you need to silence your keys a lot lot, man. A lot. A lot. I don't even carry keys. Oh, my God. I like a simple key chain. Some people have their grocery shit on their gym pass or whatever, and it just looks like trash. I used to have key chains.

I took them off, and I feel more rich. I feel like a rich man. Right. Try it. Look at your keys right now. If you have a bunch of shit dangling off of them, you got to figure it out. The only thing I have is a carabiner to keep everything together. And I can always put it on my belt loop. Yeah, that's fine.

I used to have the fucking custodian like chain thing because I thought it was so funny. Oh my God. And then I would get in trouble because I would extend it and then treat it like fucking like garrot wire or whatever, like old school hitman shit. Right. Did you also have a wallet when you opened it, like flame shot out of it? No, that would be tight, though. Sorry, go ahead.

Oh, no, I was going to say, I know- No, he had a very serious thing to say. This is very, very important. No, no, please. There's a hazard, actually. They've been recalled. No, I knew a comedian who would sell them after shows, but he didn't have a joke about them and he didn't make the wallets like

it's like he took like baseballs or no the ones that when you open them like flame like a flame came out of them and he sold it like as his merch but he had nothing to do with them that's a fucking thing yeah he just marked them up oh yeah it's what it just had like a flash paper in it or something i guess yeah basically it was like a little i think you get them in like a magic shop right oh that's awesome. Yeah, it's really awesome. That'd be a dope way to like create a distraction

if you have to pay the bill. Yeah. And they're like, oh yeah, I got it. And like, oh my God, hold on, I gotta go first. I'll get you back. I'll get you back.

Something happened to my wallet. You guys saw that, right? What the heck was that? And Venmo's down. Oh boy. I was just gonna say, if you have a carabiner that goes around your belt loop, aren't you technically on your keychain?

Isn't that the biggest thing you could possibly have on your keychain? Wow. You are one of the items on your keychain. That's actually a fucking dope way to look at it. That's brilliant. That's a lot. We got Yoda up in here. That's great.

What is something you think is underrated? Lager beer. Lager head sea turtles no uh a lager beer yeah okay that's underrated really yeah yeah why do you not like them no do you think people like them perfectly rated i mean like aren't i feel like every mostly like heavy beers are in now you know like and like everyone wants to like double ip yeah which i used to do and now you're not gonna to get hung over you're not going to get too drunk like you can be a good person at a social yeah you know it feels like a beer that actually has alcohol and now you're drinking light beer where you're just gonna pee all day exactly right exactly yeah

it's a good middle ground yeah whenever i meet people who are like i only drink like the fucking gnarliest ipas i'm like you're somebody who told their partner they would stop drinking liquor at bars. And now you just drink the fucking IPA. And I see you because you've been drinking that shit like fucking water. And I get it because when that ABV, you're just like, I've got gays now. That's a great way to fucking put on 10 pounds also. Dead serious. Too hoppy for me. I like i like a session ipa of course i like a i like a beer that makes it feel like i've

been kicked in the mouth yeah oh yeah yeah by a horse yes uh which beer is that ipa like the real like bitter ass like yeah yeah this was in a ship for six months on its way to India. That's what I want. Is that metallic or what is that? I'm getting a taste of metal. Like a Chernobyl fireman. Right. Good, it's working.

What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? There's a myth that... A lot of people might know this, but there's a myth that you should... If you have a lot of money on a credit card and you pay it off, that you should cut up that credit card so you don't put more money on it. But I know this seems like I'm about to do it a bit.

I'm not doing a bit right now. I'm being dead serious. This is always us when you're in here. I begin to look at you like, I promise, I promise. That's what I see fucking. It's not a bit. You pay a credit card and you cut it up?

Unless, or close out that credit card. Unless you do have like a problem where you can't help yourself, like obviously get help, do that, and then do close it out. But it's better for your credit if you pay off that credit card and leave it open because then you have more credit available to you. Or if you close it out, then you don't have that credit anymore. So it's good for your credit score to leave it open if you pay it off.

But you can cut it up so you don't use it. You just don't close it out. Right, right, right. Sorry, I you pay it off. But you can cut it up so you don't use it. You just don't close it out. Right, right, right. Sorry, I meant cut it up. It's just a little fun slang term that we use for closing it out in my business. But yeah, no, no, that's a good distinction. Don't close it out.

The comedy business. He's a real cut up. Right. Oh, God. Sorry, I just had an asthma attack into your mic. Do you have asthma? Huh? Oh, yeah, big time.

Really? Exercise induced, so rarely uh yeah i thought i'm like i never see you in novena or something no no no no i have a i have an asthma puff for sure got on you yeah the red one oh dope it's in the car the red one it came with the lease when i played official medical designation the red one the red one when i was playing way more soccer i used to fucking be like yo let me hit your inhaler real quick because I think that's going to help me. What? Yeah, you got to be careful.

That's really bad. Well, because I think I would get what I think was like sort of asthma-y things where like I wasn't getting the full breath out of my lungs. Also probably because I was smoking back-to-back blunts before I'd go out there. Yeah. But then I was like, nah, let me just give you albuterol. Let me hit that albuterol real quick. That'll help. Did you play sports high? Yeah.

Yeah. There are NBA players who swear by it. That's incredible. I know Iverson was known to do that every once in a while. I mean, soccer's beautiful because you want to feel like with your touch, you're feeling it. But a lot of the times, you'd be winded so quick, your touch just was out the window.

You'd be sloppy as fuck. I never got to play hockey high because I was a lot of the times you'd be winded so quick your touch just was out the window you'd be sloppy as fuck i never got to play hockey high because i was a lot younger and i wasn't as like dirtbag with it that's more dangerous if there is a podcast hockey tournament i'm telling you i'm the fucking literally and figuratively a dark horse player uh who would not see it coming first pick yeah shout me out i don't know other podcasters that play hockey. Yeah, no, I'm sure that's gonna in Los Angeles. I'm sure that's a big group. Try being black and Japanese in 1988 and going to a hockey rink. Oh my god. Oh, is this a new TV show?

1988? No, it probably wasn't. Yeah, that model. Do you guys remember when Kristen Taylor, the sister of supermodel Nikki Taylor, died of an asthma attack? She did? Oh, God. Yeah, like a long time ago.

95. She died of an asthma attack? I'm still not over it. Wait, what happened? Just a straight up asthma attack? Yeah, it was weird. She had a bronchial asthma that triggered heart failure. God damn it.

Yeah. Okay, well, raise asthma awareness. Keep your friends close and your asthma inhaler closer, as they always say. They can't stop saying that. They really need to shut the fuck up. I'm tired of it. What's your tat say right there? Huh, my tat?

It says keep your friends close. Keep your friends closer to your asthma inhaler. Ashma inhaler closer. I mean, that's just a reminder. Of course. I got to get that touched up, too. The throat placement is nice, though. Thank you. Thank you. All right, guys's just a reminder. Of course. I got to get that touched up, too. The throat placement is nice, though. Thank you.

Thank you. All right, guys. Let's talk about- I told you, Jack. Blake's going to come on, and I don't know what's going to happen. That dark chaos energy, as somebody put it. Yeah. Someone said it's dark chaos energy?

When you're on. We're just all- Fucking awesome. All over the place. Well, you're patient, so thank you. Because Blake's like the classmate the teacher would have never let me sit by. Right, right. But I would never get in trouble either.

No, no, because we got the work done. Because it was hard because it's not like we're fucking up and not doing the work. It's like they're gifted and they get their work done very quickly and then quickly become a distraction to the rest of us. To others, right. Miles has been farting with his armpit nonstop. All right. Let's talk about this New York Times advertorial.

Yeah. Suspected advertorial. Well, the headline is this. Fatal accident with metal straw highlights a risk. I saw that. That's very, that's a powerful headline. Yes. I saw that.

That's very, that's a powerful headline. Yes. That is going to be the most popular article of New York Times this year. Yeah, until Bari Weiss tries to normalize some kind of weird fucking monster. Right, right. But until then. Until then, metal straw, a warning. Metal straw carries it. So this is from the article.

A British woman was impaled by a metal straw after falling at her home a coroner said in an inquest this week um the woman who was 60 who had a disability fell and sustained a traumatic brain injury when the 10 inch straw pierced her eye and i could go on but apparently the she was rushed to the hospital and then passed away later on it was like in a like a sort of mason jar style i like how they're really specific too they're like i mean they put a photo in her style cup right right jesus so that's a shot at big mason jar too i mean so the question i have from this is do because this probably has to be about as common as a pen right like? Like, or a screwdriver or any other metal thing that is that size. Well, I guess it's different because maybe because of the nature of a straw, it'll always

somewhat be vertically oriented. Like, a pen is always going to lay flat on a table. Like, if you had a cup. Well, when you're using it, though. Sure, but you're not going to be, like, using a pen and then, like, be like, oh! Right, right. And then fall eye down onto it. Well, sure. Nobody has ever put a pen in then be like, oh! Right, right. And then fall down onto it. Well, sure.

Nobody has ever put a pen in a cup. Sure. Well, I don't know. Look, this is becoming a very interesting debate now. But they did say that the woman who passed away, she was a former jockey, I believe. Right. And had scoliosis and some other injuries. And also had some substance abuse issues.

So it's not quite clear. I mean, that's why it's sort of a weird story to me where it's like, well, see? That's what we've been saying. That's what we've been saying. Over here at Big Plastic Straw, you know, you got to watch out. But that's what I'm wondering is, does this really highlight a danger or is this a freak accident that happened?

I guess the one thing that I could see possibly making metal straws more dangerous than other metal thin long cylinders is that you get drunk through it. So you might be around it more often whilst drunk. If you're getting that fucked up, I don't know how earth conscious you are. What do you mean? Like if someone's like, you know, is that metal straw? Nah,

you got fucking plastic straw. I just drink out of a cup. Nah, dude, this is fucking, you don't want to drink that. I don't know if you've seen the fucking gyre

in Pacific Ocean. That's why I have these bracelets on. Each bracelet is a pound of ocean plastic removed. So I'm the one ocean bracelet is what I'm buying. Yeah, I don't know. I think Ginger Snaps is going to do a similar hit piece on candy canes around Halloween. Sure.

Which wasn't even the right holiday. Halloween? The joke wasn't worth it had I nailed it. And I didn't even get the wrong holiday right. Hollyween. Simmer in your own filth for a little bit. I am drenched in my own filth. I love Hollyween.

I love Holyween. Thank you. Holyween is one of my favorites. I mean, I don't know. I feel like you'd probably have injuries similar maybe on a construction site, like a screwdriver. I feel like if we're talking rigid shit that you could fucking go up in your eye like that. Yeah, yeah. Sure. But I feel like if we're talking rigid shit that you could fucking go up in your eye

like that yeah yeah sure but I feel like you'd have more mouth injuries with metal straws like teeth

like in the car or something yeah chipping a tooth like just fucking destroying the roof of your mouth to me that's when I'm like

ooo cause I've even done that as a kid with a plastic straw right like running and then like a door hit like while I'm sipping

and like the straw is like stuck in my gums. Oh yeah. Yeah. No? And it just looked at me like what the fuck? Right.

You've never had that? Okay well someone's a responsible straw user. Yeah. I don't know guys. Took the whole air out of this. Keep your head on a swivel out there.

Yeah. When it comes to metal straw use. And if you look if you know tales of other uh rigid cylindrical items that have caused injury like this please let us know because i'm having trouble thinking about the other scenario i mean i just feel like there's so many things that like so many dangers that just aren't we don't we never think of because they're not in the news and there's no media reason to exaggerate.

Do you know people, have you met kids and humans, adults in your life who have had freak injuries that you've heard from them, like freak injuries they've had? No. What's a freak injury you've heard of? Was it a thing that someone told you, like, oh my, that can happen? Like earplug was found like way down in their ear right yeah holy shit yeah oh no uh also it was found not like hey doc this thing got stuck in there he's like you know you have an

earplug like but that's yeah they like went and got a checkup. That's almost like urban legend, like, quality of terror. Like, it's just... It's, like, down in their neck. Yeah, like spiders. I know. It's probably not physically possible. Like, I'm pointing at, like, my ass. Like, no.

They got way down there. They passed it eventually. No, it was, like, still in their ear canal, but, like, they didn't know because, like, I think they forgot that they put in ear plugs and then just, like, woke up and lived their life and then got an ear infection or like they were having headaches or something and then went to the doctor and they were like oh yeah like you gotta you gotta i remember when i used to work at this laser tag place uh there was like a little girl who had a

raspy voice and she was like yeah you know i was like damn like it was wild like it was a raspy fucking voice like smoking like menthol like fucking marlboro reds filterless know i was like damn like it was wild like it was a fraspy fucking voice like smoking like menthol like fucking marlboro reds filterless and i was like was her last name deville can i bum a smoke and i was like i was you know like i would do kids birthday parties and shit and i'm like oh i'm like are you okay do you need water do you have a cold or something she's like no i went out i was in a rollerblading accident and she fell like uh like she was on a on her rollerblades on like sort of a like a path that was sort of like on a berm sort of so on either side there was like a hill and she fell down that hill and her her throat uh was like impaled by a chain link fence like the top of the fence

and i was like oh I'm high and 17 and I shouldn't be fucking asking for shit. I literally went like, fuck, dude, for real? You turned the laser tag gun on yourself? Yeah, I was like, no. Just right under the chin. It's called the Terminator.

It's called the Terminator. It's called a D-Act. That used to be the shit, though, when parties, we'd have a remote that I could just turn your shit off. Oh my God. Yeah.

Kids were talking shit. I'm like, what? That explains a lot about it. Yeah. I see. I see it all now. Power tripping out of laser tag.

Power tripping out of laser tag guy. Yep. Damn. Like take that. Yeah. That, that is something that, I mean,

you have to obviously childproof your house when you have a kid, but it's just nonstop. There's shit out there. Yeah. Your house is full of possible things that can kill you. You just, at a certain age, should know better. But, you know, like there's that thing with Jimmy Fallon where he kept almost having his finger come off. Oh, yeah.

Because he was like drunk and he would fall and like, uh, his ring would get stuck on stuff. Oh, it's almost got de-gloved, right? Yeah. He almost got his finger like torn off. Um, and that, that's a thing that like, I remember once I heard about that, I heard about it happening to like other drunk people. Right.

Um, so yeah, that's, you gotta, you gotta be careful. If you're a kid or very drunk. No ring, no sting. No ring, very drunk. No ring, no sting. No ring, no sting. No ring, no sting. Hey, baby. That's what I'm telling Her Majesty. You got to stay loose.

Come on. I ain't wearing a ring, though. You got to trust me, sweetheart. I know so many guys who are just like, no, I never wear a ring. And I just don't understand. It's like, oh, wow, your balls grew nine sizes because you said that. No, I mean, like, the idea, though. I think it's, like, 50% of dudes I know.

But are they just, like, they don't wear it or their personality is, I don't wear it. No, they just don't wear it. But, like, they're not bad people. They're not, like, out there, like, trying to hit on women. Oh, right, because I hear people who are like, dude, I'm not wearing that. Like, as if it's, like, a fucking scarlet leather or some shit.

Meanwhile, my finger looks like Gollum underneath my ring because I've been taking it off in 11 years. What's it smell like? Oh, cheese. Not a good cheese. No. Not one of the good ones. Old cheese finger O'Brien.

Not like Roquefort or one of the good ones. Yeah, yeah. No. It smells like American that's off. Oh, shit. Oh, God. Have you ever seen a moldy piece of American cheese? No, it's impossible.

It doesn't happen. Is it? Well, it's not cheese. It's just oil and water, right? Yeah. Yes. It's oil and wax. Sight gang, if you've got old pictures of your American cheese, please send them in.

Send them in. Or start it now. Start the process now. What if we just get flooded? Yeah, they're like, oh. Yeah, there's always people who are like, actually, it can get bad. I'm an American cheese botanist.

Yo, we have diverse listeners, man. That's true. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

podcast and we're back and uh you know it is hurricane season and Louisiana is bracing for what could be a pretty, pretty awful weekend. Yeah, very. I mean, they're already experiencing a lot of floods right now. But there was this quote I read that was very frightening, which comes from an associate professor at the Louisiana University's Marine Consortium and said, in Louisiana, we can flood three ways. We can flood from water flowing down the Mississippi River, from local rainstorms, or from a storm surge from the Gulf. This week, we will have to deal with all three at once. Damn.

That's the situation right now. The Mississippi River has just been filled with water because of constant flooding in the Midwest that's just feeding into it. And they're already saying, like, it could crest at 20 feet. The levees are, like, built for 20 feet. On top of that, there's a storm coming in. So you're going to get rainwater. And on top of that, because of sea level rise, I mean, storm surge comes in even heavier now. So, yes.

And when you consider like this has been one of the wettest, I think the wettest year in the United States. It's just really it's this terrible Venn diagram that happens to overlap right now in Louisiana. And I think also north of it, too, like. Whatever's north of Mississippi. Or Alabama, right? Yeah. There's no way to know for sure. I thought it was an island.

That was one of the things that Jason Pargin debunked in this article about urban versus rural, how we only think of New Orleans when we think about Hurricane Katrina, but it took out all of Mississippi and all of rural Louisiana too. Anyways, yeah, stay safe out there, Louisianans. Yeah, it's like the thing when Notre Dame caught fire. It's like New Orleans is probably the place that people have the most familiarity with.

It's like, that thing I know. Right, that you've been to one time. But yeah, also keep an eye out for fake stories about looters because every single time that there is a storm uh there will be uh you know usually white supremacist groups or who knows if it's russians coming out and being like yeah we're the chaos yeah there's looters everywhere we're having to shoot them uh because it's like everybody has the diehard fantasy, and especially if you're racist. That really gets them going.

Yeah. There's another thing, just for context, in this article I was reading. The Mississippi was at three feet when Katrina hit. Right now, it's at 16 feet. Oh, God. What the fuck? Yeah. So, like, I'm- I thought it was way longer than that.

Not now, Jack. Not now. There's catastrophic flooding headed to New Orleans. Get it? Because I was talking about it. Oh, boy. But no, for real. I still don't get it.

No, for real, though. The worst guess. Please, people of the Gulf region, please stay safe. All right. I hope it's I hope I hope this isn't as bad as it possibly could be. Right. Let's talk about where we are with the census question, because there were stories that Trump was going to basically do an executive order to get the citizenship question printed on an addendum and added to the back of the census.

And, you know, that would skew things so that it seemed like the country was whiter. And Republican. And Republican, basically, because I could see why somebody would be scared to answer those questions. Yeah, it's meant to have a chilling effect. It's meant to be like, oh, how are you going to answer this?

If it was on, everybody's just answer their citizen. Boom, done, bye. So the Supreme Court said they shouldn't be allowed to do that. Trump was like, I don't care about the Supreme Court. I'm God Emperor. I'm going to do executive order. And all of a sudden, on thursday it seems like he reversed course uh and it seemed like very abrupt because in the morning like people in the executive

branch were still talking that shit like we're we're gonna do an executive order he can do whatever he wants bill barr was like yeah the president has a He can do what he wants. Yeah, he has a route to a legal question on the census. And then suddenly Thursday evening, he was like, you know what? Never mind. So he probably put some thought into it. Right. And researched it. That's right.

And his research showed that – Based on some of these constitutional law books I'm reading, I may not have the legal basis to do this. And because of that, I will actually uh listen to the supreme court because the problem was the whole time that his administration over and over and over was like well we have a june 2019 deadline to get this shit printed so we need to speed this up like you need to decide if we can do this because he thought oh we can just force a quick process and they will rule on our side. And they did. They were like, oh, shit.

OK. They were fucking expedited the whole hearing. The Supreme Court, like, even heard it directly. And then after they fucking took the L and the Supreme Court was like, wait, you were even lying about why you even need this question. Like, you want it because of this racist bullshit. Right. We have the evidence that says that is you and your advisor being like racist bullshit reasons.

We want to do this. Yeah. And now they're like, oh, well, actually, we need to get the question in. But also that deadline that we said was wrong. So it's like they're picking and choosing these these arguments. And that's why it's just like, dude, there's no, whatever. I mean, in one mind, I'm like, there's no way it could happen. But there's been many things I'm like, there's no way it could happen.

And it's been happening. So I'm glad we've kind of avoided a constitutional crisis. Although, who knows what else is going to come up. It is interesting just how many, this is like the 20th time at least that Trump and then his administration, and I do put Bill Barr in his administration as well. Yeah, of course. And that within almost hours of one another, they've put out completely contradictory statements where it is so, I mean, I don't want to think too much about it or I'll have a nervous breakdown of just how he just operates so independently from anyone who could be possibly advising him. Where his advisor's totally opposite statement and then he, yeah. Off the dome.

Right. It's the entire presidency off the dome. Off the dome. Yeah. He shoots from the hip. I don't write it down. I just get in the booth and I black out. Yeah.

Let's check in with the world of powerful rich people who don't understand consequences. What's the latest in the Epstein case? Well, his... Fuck. Dude, his lawyers, man. They're basically like, hey, can he go out on bail? Because I get it. He's a terrible child sex trafficker,

but I don't know. He should probably be able to be under house arrest. They're basically saying, look, here's a bail package proposal we're going to give you. He will give up his $77 million mansion and his private jet so they can secure a bond. And then they're saying his brother and his friend would also put their homes up to guarantee that he doesn't flee on his charges of sex trafficking etc so they're like what if we gave you all like a bunch of shit in this money and then his homies cosplay as the co and it's all good he can just stay at home and whatever he can be up to his shit there i don't think they are going to agree because the prosecution was like this man has vast resources that we don't even know what the fuck this dude has or where it's at that he

probably does have the money to be like yeah i'll just take the l on that i'll fucking get the fuck out or whatever so they're saying you know there's like he's very much a very real flight risk and especially after the shit that was turned up in the raid on his home they're like this shit is getting more serious for him so we don't see how that wouldn't contribute to him wanting to flee. Their argument was like, oh, man, he's been squeaky clean, though, for the last 14 years. Has he? No.

What? It's just unreal what the lawyers thought. And then the sort of bond proposal and request, the thing that they filed also kind of shows sort of maybe what their strategy is going to be, because they're very insistent that like this is this shouldn't be a federal case like this is local. But the way it's worded is like, yes, this is from the filing. Yes, the government may have witnesses who will testify to participating in sexual massages, most over 18, some under some who told the police they lied about their age to gain admission to Mr. Epstein's residence. Some who will testify that Mr. Epstein knew they were not 18 yet. But their anticipated testimony only punctuates the alleged offense's purely local nature.

So it's almost like, yeah, but he's a local fucking sex trafficker. And then they're saying there are no allegations in the indictment. They're just sort of trying to very specifically be like, I mean, it's not that bad. And it's like, shouldn't this be a local case? But if a crime occurs across state lines, isn't it natural, like a federal offense? Doesn't that occur? Well, they were saying like it was like local. That's I think that's what they're going to try to argue.

It's like, well, he wasn't. The actual crime occurred in this place. Yeah. Like they wound up here. There is. Yeah. There's plenty of evidence against you, sir. But I mean, you know, when you have lawyers like this, as we've seen, they will fucking

try and argue like what the definition of traffic is or child. Right. And they were, you know, he had enablers who would, you know, bring them in, recruit these children, bring them in and tell them in order to get the 200 you have to tell him that you're over 18 like that was part of the deal and he that was at his you know it wasn't like he thought they were over 18 and in fact uh once one of the women turned i think 22 she was like well now i'm too old him, so I have to move on to whatever is next. And, yeah, I mean, again, just to remind you,

like, when they're trying to be like, oh, he should be able to just do, you know, house arrest or whatever, again, the indictment says he sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan and Palm Beach and other locations, so I don't care how you fucking twist this. Right.

Yeah. So there was someone on Twitter. I think it was Rick Wilson. He got messy and was saying, like, he got a tweet from a wealthy Florida business who's, like, very cryptic. He's, like, got a text from a wealthy Florida guy who I haven't spoken to in ages and said, I'm surprised the press hasn't put together that the falling out between Trump and Epstein would be over the fact that Epstein was trying to be with Ivanka.

Oh, yeah. So, I don't know. That's just all a fucking mess. It is. That does seem like the one thing that would piss Trump off, right? Yes, yes. Yeah, absolutely. That's his woman.

That's his lady. Yeah, that's even fucking doable. That's what I'm saying. And the president himself is a predator, like the whole crew. Again, I hope all these names comes out. I hope we can fucking do some real cleanup work right he should stop speaking sexually about how hot his daughter is and how they would date if he doesn't want people to point things like that out okay uh let's talk boeing real quick this is a

story that's been on the dock well you're a lockheed martin guy yeah yeah mcdonald douglas sure oh my god so there was an alert system that was supposed to be standard a standard feature on all of the 737s that had to be suspended and a statement released like a month ago uh described basically a timeline that showed that they were aware of the problem that this alert wasn't functional and they were like the alert isn't the reason the planes crashed but we were aware that they weren't working and it's possible that they could have alerted the pilots that the planes had issues. So it's a malfunctioning sensor that could have helped save the planes that they knew didn't work and the only thing they did about it rather than tell pilots or tell anybody about it, after the crashes they they changed it from being mandatory to optional so

that they would cover their own ass. Wait, what do you mean it went from, what went from mandatory to optional? This, a functioning one of these sensors. Oh, but because it wasn't working, they're like, oh, it's optional. Once there were two crashes that could have, on planes that they knew this wasn't fully functional,

they were like, oh, this, you don't need this anyways, basically. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. they were like oh this you don't need this anyways basically yeah so um their stock dropped what like 40 or something i think they just reported earning like they're not going to be the number one plane producer i think in the world anymore right i don't know i don't know who's going to supplant them right probably lockheed martin Yeah. There you go, Miles. I don't know. I guess do they... Or Airbus? I think maybe because they make more commuter planes. Airbus, if they had it to do all over

again, do you think Airbus would pick a different name for their company? Airbus. You fucking idiot. Yeah, very aspirational. We're the greyhounds of the sky, baby. Airbus. But they have really beautiful parts no they do it's just very beautiful hardware

that's what they went with I think it might have been German right I think they are mistranslation they're headquartered in the Netherlands maybe it has some different connotation over there but Airbus just seems like

the worst possible way to describe a plane. It's just like a fucking Airbus. Cool transportation with shitty transportation. That's what Spirit Airlines should be called. Yeah. Airbus. Right. You know those giant rickety things driven by drunk people that took you to school when you were a kid?

Yeah. Think about this as one of those, but hurtling through the air at hundreds of miles per hour. That kind of free thing. Right. Yeah, yeah. Were all your school bus drivers drunk? No, there were some fine ones, but there were also some that...

Yeah, I had some unsavory characters. Right. Because I didn't take a bus to school, but when you have to get on a bus for a sports thing or a field trip, you'd use the same five people who would drive the buses for your school. The best ones. Yeah.

Some were cool. Shout out to Marvis, who let us play Rough Riders Anthem in the bus. Oh, wow. The remix or the original one? The original. Okay. Yeah. My dogs won't stop.

Y'all dogs won't stop. Shut them down. Open up shop. First, we had them. Now, they're like, what, baby? All right. I was the only one who had the professional too? DJ Clue?

Yeah. Yeah. I still remember the smell of getting on the bus. You know that smell? Yeah. Of like weird vinyl seating. Musty, fake vinyl. And steel.

Yeah. And velour. And like kids sweat. Yeah. Yeah. And vodka. I guess a lot of my bus drivers were drunk. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same smell like when you walk into a bar on a hot day. Wait a second. What the fuck? I was on a Bolt bus once, and the guy was so stressed out. There were people standing in the middle because there weren't enough seats.

And the guy's just like, ah, fuck this. Let's just go. So he starts driving from New York to Philadelphia with a whole family. Unseated passenger? Unseated, just standing in the middle. And then as he was driving, all of a sudden he does this U-turn in Jersey, and he gets on the horn. He just goes, listen, I know one of you motherfuckers are tweeting about me

and that I'm having people stand. I'm in the middle of the goddamn aisle, and I just wanted to get you to fucking Philadelphia, but now we got to go back to New York. He just hung up, and he got fired, and they had to put the people on a different bus. mile and I just wanted to get you to fucking Philadelphia but now we gotta go back to New York. Wow. He got like fired and they had to put the people on a different bus. I know you mother I know one of you I didn't know what he was

gonna say I thought he was like I know one of the fuckers is pooping and not pushing and I was like tweeting about me. He's tweeting about me. Wow. So he was getting like hit up from somebody or was he on Twitter while he was driving? Honestly,

I think for the joke, it would be funnier if he was on Twitter, but I think he's like promoing himself. He's like, I'm your driver. Uh, Derek, follow me at Derek, the driver hashtag ground bus.

Yeah. Ground bus. Uh, all right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

He is like most famous people the first thing you notice about them in person is wow, he's way shorter than I thought. Yeah, that's true. Jason Momoa is bigger than you were expecting. He's larger than life. And just

Pretty God. He's great. Pretty cool. It looks like Jack's looking at his laptop. He's actually holding a printed out photo of Jason. He's pretty cool. Something really cool about him, you know? Well, basically on the other end of something.

I don't know what it is, but something about him. Really, really cool. Fun. Like fun, too. Yeah, it just seems like he's got a great personality or something. Man struggles with his feelings of attraction for another man. He's funny. I bet he's really funny.

He's probably really cool, huh? I would just like to play sports with him. Or trivia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is he making you sweat, too? Huh? I'm sweating. Yes.

And you're Sandman on banjo? And you're Sandman on banjo? And you're Sandman. All right, let's talk about some other shit. Sandman, go around my neck. My ultimate analysis is that the Jason Momodadbot story is fake news. Fake news, leave him alone. No one's leaving. I think, again, it's a commentary on,

I think the people who did actually comment on it i think have been so poisoned by the fucking just the images you're inundated with like this is what a man looks like this is what a woman looks like in their tv bodies and then when you see something deviate you're like oh man i've been conditioned to be like that's gross right and you're like this dude what the fuck but i i have yet to find a story where somebody was actually shaming him i'm pretty sure it started as a story about a couple people commenting on twitter and that that shouldn't be this is how unhappy some people are they could look at jason momoa on vacation and be like fuck this disgusting really letting yourself go bro i Fuck this Disgusting I bet those people just need to embrace it

His hair smells like gold And a genius I would imagine Multiple degrees If I had to guess I never saw Aquaman But I heard that Aquaman They lean into Aquaman as a stupid person. Like he's kind of dumb in the movie.

Yeah, yeah. I just watched Aquaman on a flight. Aquaman? Yeah, Aquaman. Me too. His last name was Aquaman. Of the Connecticut Aquamans? Yes. American. Oh, wow. Yes, yes. Actually a 737 Max. Wow. And yeah, they separated it from me. It was private.

That's how you should respond when you see Jason Momoa. I paused it and scream laughed at the top of my voice. And I turned to the waitress. And I'm like, I'll have another! Uh-oh. So you weren't on a plane. What do you mean? You're at a Buffalo Wild Wings.

Just watching on your phone. You didn't say flight attendant. Yeah, but I was flying. Waiter! There's a beak in my seat, or whatever it was. A beak? A beacon? Yeah, there was like an athlete who claimed that he found a chicken beak in his wings.

I think he was a Green Bay Packer. This happened like five years ago. At a Buffalo Wild Wings? At a Buffalo Wild Wings. Hey, I believe it. He wasn't into that? No, he bitched about it. I would consider that good luck.

If you bit into a fucking beak on accident, I'd be like, yo, hold on. My teeth are not strong enough. He's on cartilages. Yeah, exactly. What's a beak made out of? Cartilage, I would imagine. It's all callous.

It's like a bone. Oof. You've never eaten a beak before? Oof. Never mind. I'm going to take back this order of beaks I got on Amazon. I regret bringing it up. I didn't know it was a bone.

All right, let's talk about Bagel Boss. Bagel Boss guy, who I now refer to as Bagel Boss. But that's not his name. It's just the story of a undersized man, a short man who it seems like, I don't know. At first I was like, look, this dude is clearly mentally ill, and we're all just like dunking on him on Twitter, and like this is just not worth it.

And it's probably like there are better targets to be aiming at. Than like an incel losing it at a bagel store? Yeah, but I changed my mind. You did a 180. When he said that, I was like, you think he's mentally... He seemed like a dude who is just not very kind. I think that is the filter that you have to put it through now. The last thing that you want is to make fun of a person who's mentally ill.

But once it goes through that filter, is this person mentally ill? Then we get to do what we're about to do, right? Right. Yeah. So this appears to be not a one-off thing. This appears to be sort of a trend. This is his fucking thing. I guess we should talk about what it is for people who don't know.

If you don't know, okay, just search Bagel Boss rant. And there's this guy who's basically like, I see you guys making fun of me. You can't put that you're five feet on dating sites. And they deny. He goes on this rant about like how no one wants to date him He's like, I see you guys making fun of me. You can't put that you're five feet on dating sites. And they deny. He goes on this rant about how no one wants to date him because he's five feet. And then he's getting in the face of other patrons when they're like, hey, calm down.

He goes, you're not my God or my father or my boss. Right. Which is the meme of the century. Yeah, that's the Holy Trinity right there. And then some other guy goes, hey, shut the fuck up. He goes, oh, what are you going to do, tough guy? And the dude pulls up. And he's like, oh, what are you going to attack me? Yes. Yes, he does.

He basically just put him on the ground, and then the video cuts off. And then everyone's like, okay, what is going on with this dude? Because the description of the video was apparently he was just coming at all the women that were working in there and also just having it out with a bunch of people. The funny thing. Well, first, just to look, we were looking at his YouTube. the women that were working in there and also just having it out with a bunch of people the funny thing well first uh just to look we were looking at his youtube he has a youtube channel of course amazing with all kinds of dumb terrible shit like there's ones where he calls this woman like a ghetto hood rat this is when i started being like this dude's kind of just a fucking angry piece of

shit then he had another one that's like there was another one called like fucking with Mike, the Jew. And he was just like antagonizing this guy on the phone. I don't know where the, why there was the modifier of Mike, the Jew was in there at one point. He like throws him. It was important.

Yeah. Like a Yamaka on his head while he's on a phone call and just like thinks it's so fucking funny. And I'm like, dude, this guy's a fuck. He's an asshole. Right.

Then there's another one that's like fat fuck at bar or something. And just listen. So this is a theme with this guy. Yeah, Reagan on my height all day, you fat fuck. Yeah, you're big tough Reagan on a fucking midget, right? You fat piece of shit. Really? She's gonna make this shit up?

You're a fuck. And you know what? All you girls go for the big bullies. You know what? Big tough guy Reaganging on me. Are you kidding me? Why would she make that shit up? Ask her. What did I say? I don't know what you said.

I see her the loudest day. What did I say? Now I'm getting serious. Anybody else want to rag on my height? She said you open your mouth and she opened his fucking mouth. Me? Yeah. That's what she said.

She said she heard you say it and you said something. Both of you. That's what she said. She said she heard you say it, and you said something. Both of you. So that goes on for like. That's like a three-minute video. For four days. For four straight days. There's another 15-minute video where he keeps coming up to this dude. He's like, yo, me $1,500, Albert.

Right. It seems like he goes around just on the verge of losing it because he suspects that everybody is secretly talking about his height and then when he gets any evidence about that like that suggests that somebody is talking about his height it's like he just it sends him off yeah i mean i get it look i knew it if you're being teased for like your physical appearance you you fuckers were talking about me you motherfucker right i mean but like when i look at it like yeah he i think he's like there's another video that was taken down where he was like yelling at these dudes at 7-11 because apparently the video starts up he goes why'd you ask me my height right i'm trying to

pay for my coffee because he said he was 4 11 5 feet So, you know, on one hand, I feel for him as somebody who's being teased for his physical appearance. Yeah, that sucks. The shitty part is that he's also a toxic man. So he's ending up interacting with other toxic people. And unfortunately, the currency of these toxic people is, oh, you small man, you ain't shit. And in his mind, he he probably it's like a fucking terrible feedback loop he's living in which is why you get the shit at the bagel boss store where suddenly it was about dating profiles and all this other shit taking it out on women right

so is part of that whole toxic masculinity thing where men feel they are owed sex well so listen to so the daily mail interviewed him oh and they And they're like, what's going on? He has like a business that he owns with his dad or something. He was divorced. What? He has no children. Yes. No way.

He's a divorcee with no children. He says, when he's talking about like what happened in the store, first, let me tell you, he says that he is the Martin Luther luther king of short people because he wants equality for everyone except for ghetto hood rats and jews based on how the titles his videos there's another one there's two chinese people arguing and he called that video the orient express uh-huh yeah yeah no that checks out that's very funny very very martin luther king of you very okay very i had a dream that i was five we all have our blind spots yeah yeah so he says it got to the point where I'd had enough.

The girls hate me. They don't like me. That's fine. Now I have a mission. I'm not stopping and the world is going to hear me. I want equality for everybody. Then he goes, but in the same breath, the divorced cleaning company owner, who has no children, said he resented all women branding them gold diggers because they kept dumping him because of his height.

I'm not sure if you're a gold digger because you dumped. Anyway, don't worry. He said, I'm sick of getting constantly lied to and used on dates, and then they dump me. They tell me I'm too short. They don't have a job or a job as good as mine. They don't have a car. They're more overweight, and they're judging me? Whatever happened to the love of the 60s when people loved each other for themselves?

Uh-huh. Okay. And he just says, I'm not going to tolerate this anymore. Some of those girls found it funny. That's why I have resentment towards women. I find them all to be stupid, gold-digging liars. Got it. So Martin Luther King Jr.

Like, that's who I'm getting. It's eerie. Yeah. It is eerie. It is almost, I mean, I think some of that was actually- You have chills. You have goosebumps. I can't even sit here. I'm freezing cold right now.

Chills. What has left your body? Yeah. It's, yeah. I think some of that, to be fair, was taken from my I Have a Dream speech, but it's, yeah. Yeah. I have a dream. I'm sick of it.

They're all gold diggers. They want to dump me because I'm short. Yeah. I'm sick of it. That one day, all children... I'm sorry. He edited a lot of that out. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know. Do we need to be spending our time on this? Probably not. No, I think it was just

one of those... It is indicative. It's indicative of a... It's symptomatic of a larger... Yeah, this is sort of... I understand because, again, it's sort of hand in hand with, oh, Jason Momoa looks disgusting. Right. Or someone would be like, uh-oh, he let himself go.

Like, these are the fucking bizarre ideals, physical ideals we're dealing with, much more intense for women than it is men. But then you get this guy who's basically been, he called him, he's like, you're going to make fun of a midget? Right. It's like, oh, okay. Yeah. mean he's got there's a lot going on with him but that's where i'm like i don't know how much i feel bad in the sense that he shouldn't be teased for all this other shit but then you look at the other shit he does on his youtube channel i'm like you are you could deal with it a little better you're an angry person and you like to get upset you have

definitely had he clearly has some anger issues and also like I'm not fucking with your toxic sense of humor. And finally we want to talk about the latest offering from Villa Italian Kitchen. Is that how we're pronouncing that or Villa? Let's call it Villa.

Let's go with Villa. Aston Villa. I didn't know, I'm not familiar with this establishment. Have you been to a Villa Italian kitchen ever? I don't believe so. They're spread out across the United States. There's like two in LA. You'll have to forgive me for

not having been to what seems like just a step maybe above or below Sbarro. I'm picturing a Sbarro. I wish I could. Yeah. They have introduced an offering that's just all crust. Hell yeah. So you can go to them and order a little, like the little triangular slice containers,

but filled up with pieces of crust. And it does look like these are pieces of crust where the pizza has been eaten off of it. Yeah, because it's got a little bit of cheese. I was about to make that joke. Yeah. But it does look like that? It does. Look at the picture.

Like, there's got the little cheese and, like, the red part, like, on one side, which it's a very, you know, like, my wife eats my crust sometimes. Does she? Yeah. Because she likes it or she has that, like, immigrant kid habit of being like, don't waste that food? No, she likes it or she has that immigrant kid habit of being like, don't waste that food. No, she likes it. Like sometimes, because I'll eat,

I'll get like more pizza than her and then she'll be like, all right, I'll take those crusts off your plate. That's a healthy marriage. Yeah.

I'll have your leavings. I feel like that's a very intimate thing to do. Eat someone's crust? Yeah. And then, I mean, they're clearly just

taking this off of people's trays and putting it. No, that's not obviously what's happening. It does look like that. Like, if you told me that's what was happening. There's, like, a separate trash can for crusts. The crust can? Yeah. And then Tommy takes it out back and, like, gently cuts out the bite marks.

Yeah. But the way they said it to the press, they said, to make the crust, we use our handmade fresh dough to create the outline of our famed Neapolitan pizza. Our staff of crust experts delicately positioned splashes of sauce and cheese around the outline,

which is then baked to its golden brown perfection. So I think they're just making rings of dough and then kind of sloppily just giving you that effect of like errant bits of mozzarella and marinara sauce on there. God, how fucking bored can you be to come up with that goddamn idea? Just crust. Well, yeah, when you go to their website, the first thing they also advertise on there is their gender reveal lasagna. Oh.

Yes. Sure. Gender reveal lasagna? Let me read you this fucking, oh, this tidbit from the Villa Italian Kitchen website. They're divorce mozzarella sticks. All these weird themed divorce party mozzarella sticks. Oh my God. It says, when it comes to announcing the gender of a new baby, Americans have seen everything

from pink and blue cakes to balloons to explosions. Well, almost everything. Joining in the fray, we are thrilled for the addition of an exciting new catering package to our robust lineup of mouth-watering menu items. The world's first ever gender reveal lasagna! Available now!

The gender reveal lasagna catering package features one cheese lasagna with a secret pink or blue interior. A tray of Villa Italian Kitchen's famed garlic rolls and a choice of either a garden Caesar or Greek salad covered in motor oil for just $139.99. It pairs well with our child services raviolis. Yeah, the CPS just came calamari. Yeah, the CPS just came calamari. Yeah, I don't know.

Does anyone want to eat a fucking blue lasagna? Or a pink one. Pink is at least closer to tomato sauce. Right. Unless you have like a bolognese lasagna where they don't use tomato sauce. Like a vodka sauce. But the... Have you met my Italian co-host, Mr. Miles Gray? Yes, of course.

Yeah, I fly back to Italy. So knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing your co-host Mr. Miles Gray yes of course yeah I I fly back to Italy so knowledgeable thank you for sharing your life experience I just call it knowledge and wisdom that's kind

but yeah I think but yeah blue is so off-putting like blue is only acceptable as an ice cream to me I'll eat a blue ice cream or a beautiful sky or a blueberry

I mean like artificially. Berry, ice cream, and that's candy, I guess. Candy for sure, yeah. Yeah, blue raspberry. Yeah, Dulce's, yeah, I'm fine with that. The candy's being blue. Oh, Gatorade. Yes.

Riptide Rush. Yeah. Riptide Rush is the blue one, right? Yeah. Yeah. Cool Blue, I believe is another. Blue Cheese. Blue Cheese.

Blue Cheese. Okay. Yeah. Cool blue, I believe is another. Blue cheese. Blue cheese. Blue cheese. Okay. Yeah. Just not lasagna. Don't do things where you're interfering with the natural order, like the colors. Right. I mean, this is like St. Patrick's Day because my people can't cook. They just dye different foods green.

Yeah. Right. And it's just like, here, you like normal spaghetti, but what about spaghetti that looks rotten brain into thinking it's rotten? Yeah. Just like the snake St. Patrick drove off. Right. Exactly.

Yeah. Well, you know, like all these places have to innovate, you know, and I, I guess they're saying like there, you can get a box for like five bucks

or something of pizza 275 275 wow pretty good pretty good price i mean for sad breadsticks yeah but i guess that's the difference you get the baked on cheese and it kind of elevates it right still no crazy bread i've heard a phrase uh like shooting at the wrong basket where like you do something just like you put so much thought into something right so much work but it's just the wrong fucking thing right you're just just in the wrong direction yeah you just they did like a tomahawk between the legs dunk on the wrong their own basket yeah they yeah just focus that energy somewhere else right yeah well hey i mean they like pancakes or breakfast they from what i was reading from

one of their last press statements they had invested over three million dollars to train these crust experts well we're right well that's a union job right yeah it isn't what yeah are you fucking kidding check out the walmart subreddit right now it's wildly no it is it's it's very interesting there's a whole controversy because Walmart has been policing their subreddit and finding people who have ID'd. They say,

I work at this store, whatever, and one dude got fired. Jesus. And that set up, the whole Walmart subreddit is now just getting... Oh, because they're union busting?

Yeah. Wow. And they're just being like, but it's all kinds of union memes are coming in and it's kind of funny to see people in the comments be like, yeah, fuck.

Interesting. Workers should band together against these mighty Waltons. Anyways, Blake, it's been a pleasure having you. Pressure's all mine. Where can people find you, follow you? At Blake Wexler on everything. All right. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying?

There is. Oh, fuck yeah. A known hack. Known hack Carl Tartt. Yeah, man, I got you. Known hack. He retweeted this sneaker account that said, it's a pair of Timberland boots,

but they're New York Knicks themed, where they have Knicks logos all over them. And Carl wrote these boots just ordered a bacon egg and cheese and told me shit was real out here son those boots by the way $63 on sale wow wait Tim's

for $63 yeah but they're Knicks themed so they're Knicks themed Frank Nittle Akita that brings your price down. But the blank Tims already cost more. That's what I'm saying. Oh, so you're seeing that this should cost more because it has Knicks logos. As a business practice, I'm like, you're charging less than even your material cost.

Right, right. Right, yeah. Yeah, that is one way to think about it. Straight out of the James Dolan playbook. We don't, we're're gonna have to edit that out We don't say a bad thing He can eat my whole ass He is a talented musician
