okay uh shout out to that's actually what my bullies used to call me, Jacko Bitch. Well, I was trying to, I wasn't sure if that was a shot at you or just using a little bit of toxic hip-hop masculinity there. But yes, that was from Terry Trillium. Also, I realize that there are so many regulator AKAs that I have not given to, so you best believe I'm going to get through some of these regulator AKAs from years past.

I think a concept album is in order of just non-stop regulator AKs. Well, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by our co-host, Lil Zam herself, Jamie Loftus! Quar gang,

meet the quar gang. We're a modern Stone age family In the town of LA I'm a guest host And my name's Jamie Let's ride With the quar gang In my Zamboni

With a mask And six feet apart Are we When you're With the quar gang Have a cheesy egg That one time your aka will rhyme you'll have a gay all time

I liked it she back that's from Katie it was Katie's first aka at the King Katie shouts out Katie that was great ties in with so I after you mentioned Flintstones,

I started seeing these signs around LA and it is like from the Stone Age to the Gemstones. It's like HBO Max and they're bragging that they have the Flintstones. Wait, are they saying like, we have the righteous Gemstones and John Goodman live action Flintstones? Wait, are they saying like, we have the Righteous Gemstones and the John Goodman live action Flintstones or the cartoon?

No, the live action. They're just basically trying to show off their range. Like we have everything. Well, you can also say that's quite a range of John Goodman projects alone. Yeah, right, right, right. Flintstones? Yeah, but all of their marketing is really,

like, it's bad and punny like that. Like, there's another one where it's like, where it has James Gandolfini, Chandler Bing from Friends, and then the dude with the weird hair from Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons. Is that his name? Yeah.

From Bazinga to Bada Bing? No, it says where Bada meets Bing meets Bang. Wow. No, that's a pass. That's a pass on that. That's a pass for me, dog. You can watch all my shitty Zamboni sketches. They put Robot Chicken on there, so that's fun.

There you go. There's some more. I mean, that library is dense. Yeah, it's dense. I watched Elmo's Late Night Show. That's all I've watched so far. Is it good? No.

What? It's good. I didn't like, I didn't love the jimmy fallon as the first guest but it was really bad timing and uh i think at the time maybe elmo hadn't seen the sketch in question and i want to give him the benefit of the doubt but it was a bad day for jimmy fallon to be your first guest on a late night show but other than that it was great elmo had casey musgraves on you know i'm gonna keep watching elmo asked the tough questions too famous yeah actually i think it's the one who he broke that story i watched uh i watched a classic pre-elmo sesame

street and it was way better than the modern sesame street. I think Elmo is a real head case who really brought the whole team down. He makes it all about himself. He takes up too much real estate in the episode. That's the problem. Well, isn't Elmo a child, technically? Elmo's an adult. Yeah, he's three and a half. Exactly.

And kids are so selfish, and they just make it all about themselves. Did they give this toddler a late night show? I want these kids learning from adult Muppets. Yeah, thank you. We are thrilled to be joined in our fourth seat by the hilarious, the talented, super producer, Anna Hosnier. Okay, I'm going to try an AK for the first time. Oh, wow. Set the table.

When my family is missing, the rest don't matter. And that's all I have. But. It's because I've been listening to Maren Morris' The Bones. And naturally, you guys have spent time in an office setting with me and maybe i don't have the most appropriate behavior at any point but um i do when songs get stuck in my head it i have to change the lyrics and the lyrics always um are your your parent your someone's missing yes my lyrics always find themselves back to a person in my,

either my entire family being missing or a person in my family being missing and me being truly just. But they've always been missing for like a long time. Yeah. That's the problem. They've been missing for like years. And it's. You guys know details.

It's always weird when you start to do, or I know you're about to do that bit, and there's guests or other people who aren't in the fam, in the office, and you're like, but here's the thing, Miles. I don't know if you know this about my family. I go, what, that they've been missing for 15 years? And you're like, yes.

It's gotten me once or twice over the years. And then she'll be like, yeah, they've just been missing, and I can't find them. And I'm like, I'm sorry, person person we're trying to make some kind of development deal with podcast like uh this is a bit you'd be like uh sorry there's actually a dateline episode about it if you want to get caught up on what happened yeah so anyway up our fallon development deal he went straight to el. It was bad. Unfortunately, my family has been missing for years and I don't know where they are.

I don't know why, but that's kind of the gist of where my mind always goes. I love that that's your brand. My family's missing. Hi. Anna, in addition to being a super producer, you're also one of my favorite podcast hosts in the world. You host Ethnically Ambiguous, which we've talked about before on this show.

You also host a recap show called Deckheads. Yes. Deckheads. It's about the Below Deck TV series notoriously hated and loved by the fans. They cannot decide if they like me and Nick Turner's critiques on it, but there's something funny about the reactions we get. I have not watched deck heads and I still love below deck. Sorry.

I have not watched below deck, but I still love deck heads. Yeah. I mean, we get a lot of people who are like, Oh my God, thank you for making this show watchable. And then other people being like, I just quit the show and I'm just listening to you guys.

And then other people being like, I have some bones to pick with your opinions on these characters. But they're always like, it's just a fun ride because you don't know what you're going to get. And people really love these characters. Like to a point where you're like. Talk about parasocial relationships. Yeah. I was like, well, you know, that guy's not a great guy. But I guess if you had to see him on a TV show over and over and over again.

I mean. You'd be slowly worn down. Yeah. Like there is a character that I started out being like, I don't think so. You are not a good person. And now I'm like, leave him alone. So I guess I understand what they're coming from. Name names.

Captain Lee. I struggled with Captain Lee for a long time. Oh, really? Yeah. Didn't you see him in that tell-all from the last season, the way he was being real dismissive when the one black crew member was like, I didn't feel comfortable the way things were being handled on this ship. That is every episode

they're like do you feel like your chief stew handled that sexual harassment situation good and he's like honestly yeah you know i i think she did if it had escalated further she would have let me know and i would have turned the boat around okay and you're like look you can tell by my body i used to be a weightlifter in my 20s there's just a lot of You can tell by my body I used to be a weightlifter in my 20s. There's just a lot of blind spots. It's funny because a lot of people know Below Deck, but they don't talk about Below Deck.

It's something you've come across, and maybe people don't. I don't talk about Below Deck, but I've seen damn near every episode. So I think for anybody who's seen the Bravo Buff uh buffet of trash you've you've sampled the deck got your finger on the pulse it's a fun show though i like i really like boats and i really like sailing and all that and i just love like water sports so it's fun to just watch people and i feel like i've also really learned a lot about like being like a deckhand like i'm always like oh yeah you're gonna you're to have to give some slack on that line

or you're going to hit the top. You're like, uh-oh. Uh-oh. So anyway. All right, Anna, 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 the things we're talking about.

We're going to have the rapper, former guest on this podcast, POS, Minneapolis' very own, on to talk to us about what's going on in his hometown. We are going to talk about what is going on in Pennsylvania amongst the local politicians there. We're going to talk about Trump hiding the economic forecasts, the difference between how MSNBC viewers and Fox News viewers are feeling during this crisis, Trump's quarantine merchandising strategy. We're going to figure out what we're going to rewatch. We're going to talk about Tom Cruise making a movie in space for some reason. All of that, plenty more. But first, Ana, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Thank you so much for asking, Jack. You're welcome. Truly a pleasure. So, you know, as I was watching Below Deck Mediterranean Season 3, and I didn't just casually make, this is just truly what I ended up Googling, and it took me down a long

hole. There were two characters on the show one who grew up in Zimbabwe and one whose family was from Zimbabwe and so I was like Zimbabwe I've never really thought about Zimbabwe much and so I googled Zimbabwe and went down like a Wikipedia hole and after like 15 tabs later I've discovered primitive technology I don't man what a YouTube is a wild world I like truly felt like a Chris Croft and I was like how did you get what was the thing this is well

Zimbabwe to primitive technology it's technically those two things aren't connected there was 15 tabs in between where I was like just being like that's interesting what is that oh that's interesting what is that oh that's interesting what is that oh that's interesting what is that do you remember the first branch that splintered off after zimbabwe zimbabwe led to what i was like i'm trying to i'm trying to trace i'm really interested in

the red filling hole you're being taken on to primitive technology videos so i have all these tabs still open so if you could excuse me for 35 minutes while i go back primitive technology is a youtube channel that is where a guy from north queensland like looks at technology from like how people made tools in history i guess no no no basically what it led to is these men building underground pools out of nature basically strictly using they they would carve out underground, like beautiful underground pools using just like primitive technology and like a stick, not a stick, but it's some sort of like metal. Shovel.

It's a shovel, but it's, you know, it doesn't look like a shovel. It's, you know, it's before shovels have evolved into what they are today, but it's that. And then, but they build these pools underground by just carving it out of the clay and then they also like use bamboo to like build a a lounger if you will literally it's like to lounge in your pool area and then they they cemented in by using like you know water and mud and making clay and and then they get leaves and you know like the trees that let out that like kind of white milky substance i forget i don't really yeah so they do a lot of

trees do that but yeah like when you break their leaves yeah so you use that and then you mix it with leaves and it creates like a green paint so then they paint their pools green like it's all it's it's that's dope and it's all sped up so you're just sitting there and i watched like 15 videos last night and uh it is i will put i will link some there are so many of them now like it it's like mr tafu there's jungle survivor there's uh building survival there's all these different youtube channels and they're fascinating to watch these underground pools be made and they're beautiful oh you saw that one where the dude made, that's like called like millionaire pool done in like one week where he had like a terrorist like pit pool. And he did it with like, yeah, it really is remarkable when you see like, I'm like, fuck, I can't even do shit with power tools.

Yeah. And a part of me was like, damn, like that's, it's probably so meditative as well because one it takes you 60 days to do it and you just are doing a repetitive motion of like either digging or like carrying water from like a lake to your pool and then you just have like a little tiny like a jug and that's what you're using to fill up your pool and then or or this is the wildest part they create a oh god they create like piping with bamboo where they create a piping system that comes from like a water source to their pool. So it's like, it could be like a mile long.

I don't even know how long these things are. Plumbing, baby, plumbing. Yeah, they create it. Jamie sounds skeptical. She thinks you're lying. Jamie, I will send you these videos. It's such a journey to be taken on. It's so like.

Yeah, I did not go to bed till three in the morning. I was really like I was in it. And I'm completely, I'm remodeling the interior of my house. So I'm actually building an underground pool. What is something you think is underrated?

I don't know. Maybe you guys have heard me talk about this often, but a good vacuum. Yep. Uh-huh. Yeah. I love a good- Primitive technology.

Yeah. Vacuum cleaners are too expensive, though. I feel like it's one of those markets where they really have their foot on your neck because there's only so many people who make good ones. And so I have no perspective on how much it costs to make a good vacuum, but I'm like, there's no fucking way that it needs to cost that much.

I've arrived at a place where I've had to make the investment in a good vacuum because over the course of my life, I have probably bought with my own money eight vacuum cleaners. Yeah. Yeah. Just because they're and I always would be like it would always be like, you know, you're, you're younger, you're moving into a place like, fuck, we need a vacuum cleaner. You go to Target or whatever and you get the cheapest motherfucking vacuum you can afford. Cut to that thing is just not built to last. And I have pets and shit. So I just cruise Groupon and I wait for the wild Dyson refurbished thing to pop up because

oh my, oh my God, I have this Dyson refurb that thing to pop up because, oh, my. Oh, my God. I have this Dyson refurb that I didn't spend a ton of money on. I got it for like half price, basically. And the way it just eradicates all this pet hair and shit that I have to clean up and all these other messes. I can't advocate for a good vacuum enough. Because over time, you end up spending more than what you do up front by having the good one. I just am skeptical of big vacuum.

I think that a shitty vacuum costs like $30 to make and a good vacuum costs $75 to make and they don't got to charge you $500 for it. Sure. You know, I agree. If you just watch one video about how a Dyson works,

I mean, it's fantastic marketing, but you're like, oh, yeah, compared to my dirt devil that I used to have. Right, right. Oh, yeah, I grew up with a dirt devil. They're just loud and hot, and the dirt is still on the floor. That's the problem. When you're living with like, I live with two cats and a dog,

and within a week, my floor will be covered in cat litter it will be covered in cat hair it will be covered in whatever my dog ace brings in from outside mostly those little weird little sticky things that get stuck all over his fur then it'll also be like cat nails that they were using or to like rip up my carpet so they're like nails are everywhere. And my life is a fucking mess. And I hate walking around being like, oh, oh, oh, oh. Like it just there's so much stuff everywhere that I have to vacuum at least once a week. And most people vacuum every day, honestly. But I I'm lazy.

But like once a week, I have to do a full full remodel of my floor and just honestly, like Miles was saying I'm spending too much on I'll spend 80 bucks on a vacuum and that shit like, it'll break. If you have bets, it's a fucking wrap. Yeah. It's a wrap. And now I'm reading fucking the James Dyson

is like a pro-Brexit fucking No! You can't win anywhere! You can't like, you can't dive deep in that. Primitive technology, show me the blueprints. Yeah. I like a Ryder vacuum.

You know how people have like Ryder mowers? I like a Ryder vacuum. Oh yeah, like when you're at the airport and shit? Yeah, at the airport in the grocery store. Is Joseph Dirt Devil's politics good? I'll go back to dirt devil

i'm just glad i go i went with a refurb through groupon so like there's that profits diluted by exponents i've been trying to get the same damn groupon refunded for three months now i'm so i bought it on air i think it was just you me and Lacey miles a couple months ago I bought the Britney Spears experience oh yeah the IG thing yeah they won't refund it oh right cause this shit's cool

ridiculous I'm so mad we'll get that money back don't worry we'll put some pressure on them what is something you think is overrated Anna the price of a good trash can what the fuck? How dare you ask me to pay $150 for something I put trash in? We're talking to you, simple human.

Any of them. They're so expensive. It's trash. It's literally trash how much these trash cans cost. It's unbelievable. Are you talking about the ones with moving parts where you step on a pedal and it pops up? Yes. If you want a lid on your trash can, that's not going to...

I spent $40 on a trash can, which already I was like, this is absolutely out of control. I should not be spending $40 on trash, literally. And the lid fell off. It just stopped working one day. Every time I would press the little lever, a side of the lid would be like, bop! And pop up. And then it was like, hey, do I get to spring the big bucks? Yes, but that's, okay.

A vacuum, I understand. It's technology. It's suction. It's cleaning your home. A trash can is an inanimate object. I mean, I guess a vacuum is also inanimate. We'll get into that. A trash can just sits there.

A vacuum just, not a vacuum, a trash can just sits there. It adds nothing except for a place for you to put the things you don't want to look at anymore. And that makes me, it just annoys the shit out of me like well see that's the thing is they're like if you want like just the wild husky rubbermaid one like the shit we would have in high school like with the big black bags you would throw shit into those are

you know relatively cheap because it's just like lid plus thing yeah but that's what they know it's but i get it trash cans yeah it's a fucking racket though because you know the second you put that in a consumer context and people are like well now aesthetics matter it's like oh well see you like this little brushed steel like handle here and the foot pedal or whatever it's not that's why uh you know try and find somebody that works for simple human a shout out to one of my old co-workers she was married to someone who worked at simple human and they would get all the like the returns they could just come away with and and she would hook me up with garbage cans. That's the thing.

Most people don't have gymnasium-level space in their houses. I don't have a ton of space to have a giant round trash can. I actually do need something that can just fit in a corner and not take up a ton of space. Also, Simple Human, that's a racket because you then have to get Simple Human trash bags. You can't just go buy trash bags you then have to get simple human trash bags. Yes. You can't just go buy trash bags. You have to special order trash bags? That's wild.

Once people stopped using printers, the trash can industry adopted it. Big Trash adopted that model of getting you with the printer cartridges. And finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? It's not okay. Ever since I started

doing keto, I had to quit sugar because obviously that's part of keto. But I also am a sugar addict. I have a serious problem when it comes to sugar. Guys, I can't even. No tooth sweeter in this country than yours if you in this hemisphere let me just tell you the first the first day i started keto my sugar withdrawal i believe i was in the office i was going through such a withdrawal i couldn't keep my i could barely keep my head up i couldn't talk to people

because they would ask me a question i'd be like sentence too hard like i i I couldn't keep my, I could barely keep my head up. I couldn't talk to people because they would ask me a question. I'd be like sentence too hard. Like I just couldn't do anything. Like that's how much sugar I needed in my body to survive for one day. For one day, I didn't eat sugar and I was at a complete loss as a human being. And then, you know, I came around. I, I tried for a whole month to do keto straight and not cheat at any point. I went to a birthday party. I see a cake. I have to leave the room because I can't. I'm not even joking with you. That's how much I like sugar.

I couldn't. So me and Ify Wadiwe of Nerdificent, he was doing keto at the same time as me. I was literally texting him as if he is my sponsor, like being like, damn, Ify, like there's a cake in the room. I don't feel like I really want some cake. And he's like, don't do it. It's not worth it. You know, that's you guys just stick to it.

It's OK. You can reward yourself after a month, but don't do it. Like, that's how bad I am with sugar that I can't go to a birthday party because I know I will be so tempted. And I know it sounds like I'm being facetious. I'm not. I'm really fucked up over tempted. And I know it sounds like I'm being facetious. I'm not. I'm really fucked up over sugar. I love sugar. Everyone is low-key addicted to sugar.

And I don't know. I've never tried to live without it. I'm sure I'd lose my shit too. I am high-key addicted to sugar. Even if you're not eating a candy bar, you're like, wait, man, what's in this ketchup? Oh, everything's got fructose. It's everything.

You know, there's like, there's sweet elements to it. It's hard to fully sugar free. But I mean, I need, like, I need,

I'm with Anna, uh, or at least where Anna was before she made that keto change. I'm, I'm addicted, addicted to, uh, to sugar.

Like I need to go to the grocery store and get something sugary. If I don't have something sugary in the house. Oh, wow. Jack's got it. It's not good, guys. What's the myth, Anna? That sugar is good for you? Yes, sugar is actually really chill, guys. Big sugar. A lot of people

when they quit sugar, they move on to natural sweeteners or they try things like sugar alcohol. What's sugar alcohol?'s hard lemonade it's like i mean i'm i want to be surprised it's it's not like actual alcohol i know it's called sugar alcohol but it's uh like zy what is it not zy is it xylitol i never know how to say those words it's it's like, what is it? Not xylitol. I never know how to say those words. It's basically just an ingredient used as a sweetener.

Got it. It's like in Trident. It's in like a lot of sugar-free gums. Yeah. Where a lot of people would have experienced it. Yeah. But I personally think, in my experience, sugar alcohol, it made me poopy. Certain sugar alcohols like malt.

There's like malt maltitol or something like that. That apparently rises your blood sugar levels. And then so but all which I think is what I was eating. Sorbitol is what I was eating causes bloating and diarrhea. So it's not great. I mean, it's a good substitute if you need it because you're diabetic or whatever. You have health issues but i recommend personally to not fuck with sugar alcohol but try different more natural sweeteners like monk fruit because that doesn't affect you the same way and it's not as

like it doesn't feel as like processed and like so i don't know it doesn't make you feel shitty right in the end. Literally shitty. Yeah, like literally like, oh, I'm bloated and constipated because I, instead of having actual sugar, I'm, you know, changing or putting sugar alcohol in instead. And it has the same effect. It makes things sweeter, but it's actually, I don't think it's, I just don't think it's good. And that's the myth. Sugar alcohol? It ain't good. Go with monk fruit.

Go with, yeah. I'm real into monk fruit. This is new. Monk fruit's a natural sweetener, and I really recommend it. I'm real into Trident, and it, like, chewing Trident all day, I definitely noticed that it, that affect the, like, making you gassy and poopy and chewing Trident all day, I definitely noticed that effect.

Making you gassy and poopy and stuff like that. Jack, to be fair, you're not telling people how you eat Trident. You unwrap every single piece. I eat the whole thing at once. You call it your big league chew. I'm like, bro, you're just eating all the

Trident sticks in a pack. You're like, yeah, big league chew a lot like other people take the wrapper off and uh you know yeah uh anyways uh guys let's take a quick break and we'll be right back with pos 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 I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

And we are thrilled to have with us, coming from Minneapolis, the rapper, former Daily Zeitgeist guest at our Minneapolis live show and at our Minneapolis hotel room record, POS. What's going on, man? What's going's going on man guys it is really good to see you zoom with you um yeah man it's great to see you uh obviously been thinking about you a lot

in the past couple days uh and just wanted to kind of have you on and hear you know what what things look like from your perspective right now in Minneapolis. Well, I'll say it like this. It's super sad. I mean, it's crazy. It is a pandemic and people are rioting. I mean, I am too afraid to die to jump into a pandemic and get close with people for the most part anyway i had a kidney transplant a few years back so i'm not i'm you know i'm i'm suppressed i can't

i can't rest but i would i would i would be out there right now even in a pandemic if it wasn't like that it's scary and it's sad i woke up and saw the video before I even had the crust out of my eyes. And yeah, it's been emotional for days. I didn't even, I didn't realize what I was seeing until it was like halfway over. And then I like sat up in bed and just, you know,

cried all day, man. This is, this is not even a big city. Like, yeah, I can ride a bike to where it happened in a half hour you know drive there in five minutes like yeah you can i mean all that every city is experiencing

the same thing to a certain extent because whether it's la uh there are people demonstrating shutting the 101 down in new orleans just everywhere. There are people just because building it's been pressured up. Yeah. And every, you know, with every George Zimmerman that gets off and, you know, Eric Garner type death, another sort of pebble is put on the scales of our backs in terms of the emotional trauma we deal with as black Americans and have to continually witness the cycle of, here's the pattern. We get killed. There are no consequences. That signals to others, it's open season. And the frustrations you are seeing spill out into the streets, that's what pain looks like. that's what feeling powerless looks like it may look like they're oh look how powerful they're setting things down no no that is a product of feeling powerless and that is the only recourse you have to feel heard

because the words don't work anymore it's powerlessness it's hurt and it's rage man it's you know it's rage. And nothing changes. I don't know. Every time something like this happens, which is all the fucking time, people fight and people want to get something done to change something or to make

actual structural changes. But it seems like every city just doubles down. In Minneapolis, they are proposing, not proposing, but they are going for an $8 million budget increase for the Minneapolis police department. Similar thing in LA.

Yeah. There's, what did you say? Miles was like a $3 billion being sunk into. And it, it feels like the expectation is because there's a pandemic going on that these sort of things can be passed through without anybody really noticing it but right yeah rather than like the things that matter which are you know like subsidized housing affordable housing exactly helping the unhoused

that's really the problem in this city because it's not the crime people to reinforce the status quo it's just yeah yeah and that's it feels like on top of all of that uh with trump it's so easy to blame everything on trump but in in real life like all these people who have had these bullshit agendas for years and years and years all of a sudden not only do they have like an open door with nobody paying attention but they have somebody kind of on top of every system from the state level up who is there like yeah yeah it's floodgates time man do your thing do your thing just waving all the nonsense through it is really hard it is really frustrating and

yeah like i said i would be out there too what's it like you know because you have a like a son who's 20 yeah uh and and he he was out there in a mask. He's out there every night. He's my kid. So he's been to protests when he was on my shoulders, you know. Now he's out there on his own knowing how to do it and knowing where to be. And I'm scared, man. I'm scared.

It's a pandemic. You can't be like, like hey i know you're already but keep that distance too but yeah there's no what other choice do we have yeah you know like we haven't like we're death is on the doorstep either way man and they're not just they're they're they protest protesting at the precinct and they're protesting at the that officer's house yeah Yeah, the murderer's house. The murderer's house. They wouldn't deliver food

to him last night and they're just chanting. They're chanting, what's his name? George. Outside. Chauvin or whatever his name is. He's been involved with four shootings or deaths already

right i have no idea how he's still a cop right the thing that that struck me the most in that video is him leaning on this man's neck with his fucking hands in his pocket and the most casual look on his face yeah it's yeah unbelievable yeah and with the other cops just standing there too, just casually observing him. Yeah, I read that he had 18 prior complaints against him before this. Yeah. And no one did anything. Yeah, nobody does anything. A slap on the wrist.

Yeah. Sorry. It's hard to not just yell and get emotional. to ever prosecute even this officer this exact officer who killed him who killed george floyd she had the opportunity to prosecute him and multiple police officers for excessive force and did not and this is because we have this system in place that we have to you know the police are able to support to reinforce our predatory white supremacist capitalist system. And that's... What they are there for. That's who they're there to protect is

fucking Target. Yeah. They got great stuff, whatever, but like, man, I don't care. I don't care. I don't care if Target go up like that. It's more important. At this point, nobody expects reforms.

Nobody believes anybody when they say they're going to change it. Everybody just wants the whole thing abolished. Strike the whole thing down. Start over. You know? Yeah. And, of course, we don't get there until this happens on the biggest scale forever. I don't know, man.

Yeah. No, I hear you. It's hard to articulate anything right now you it's it's hard to articulate anything right now because articulate anything yeah man it's hard to feel anything past just rage and hopeless you know and this is down the street there's drone shots that look like a fucking war zone dude yeah yeah yeah are you pretty much staying home as of right now just because of the staying home as of right now just because of the quarantining and everything yeah i i have been just in my spot i think i mean because because of being uh sick and you know having a compromised immune system and not necessarily knowing what to trust i started quarantining maybe a week and a half before they said you gotta start and i don't really plan on

until september i got at least there's real treatment for it there's not only real treatment but like real believable factual evidence that people know what the fuck is going on the life they stopped forcing people to stay inside right as we got the worst of it for us we are at we're seeing our peaks right now right as they're going outside for summer and protesting so like nothing that anybody says about this being safe or things are open means anything to me because i'll die like right people are i'm not i'm not guaranteeing i'll die i guess but i'm saying like so many people in our general age group aren't as worried as they should be because it came out as like a thing old people get right yeah but that's not the case it's not

the case man it's yeah there's not enough known man so yeah i'm camped out and i understand why people want to go protest and i really probably would be doing the same thing but i feel like at this point there's got to be i don't know man where's the old anonymous at yeah yeah what's the next step here yeah i mean yeah steph so much love to you and the city of minneapolis uh yeah man it's it's we're all we're all feeling it man and yeah i appreciate it we all appreciate it here speaking for the city but it's america man it's everywhere you know it won't be two weeks before this happens somewhere else yeah exactly and it's America, man. It's everywhere. It won't be two weeks before this happens somewhere else. Yeah, exactly.

And there's not much to say about it. I don't know. I appreciate you guys checking in, and I appreciate you guys for having a funny-ass show that also manages to cover all the shit that is important. Thank you for taking a second. Yeah, thanks for taking our time, man. Can't do it without people like you, man.

Stay safe. You guys stay safe, too. safe too stay inside do really nice all that stuff um and if you're looking to and if you're feeling powerless from afar like most of us are um right now there is a great way that you can help out if you have a little bit of money to kick to the minnesota freedom fund um it's a community-based non can help out if you have a little bit of money to kick to the Minnesota Freedom Fund. It's a community-based nonprofit that basically helps get protesters out of jail. So that's – well, we can put it in the footnotes as well, but it's minnesotafreedomfund.org. Hit the footnotes and give what you can. And yeah, shout out to like all the listeners who

are matching us uh like our donations because honestly man activism is so important and unfortunately when you have you know you see how active like how police uh deal with activists of a certain persuasion some people can scream their heads off with assault rifles in their hands other people come with tears in their eyes holding signs and are getting tear gassed, hitting with rubber bullets and things like that and arrested. So these donations help tremendously because a lot of people, unfortunately, because of the way this entire system is made up, can't even afford to bail themselves out. And so we need to collectively help each other in this sense, too.

Yeah. Donate to the bail funds if you can and to your local bail fund because of how COVID has been spreading in prisons. We just need to, you know, get some fucking change going. All right, let's take a quick break and 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.

Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And what else is happening in the world of news uh state representative andrew lewis who's a republican uh turns out had tested positive for covid on may 20th and a democrat a state representative who's a Democrat guy named Brian Sims, was not thrilled with the fact that he didn't tell anybody. He told his GOP colleagues that he had tested positive and got them to quarantine, but he didn't tell his Democratic colleagues who he had exposed to the virus that he yeah had exposed them and that endangers them it endangers their families it's pretty wild this live stream he was on was he was he was cursing up a storm as you would because a lot of these democratic state legislators are saying they found out from the fucking news that this guy had tested positive for COVID.

Like, I've been working with this. What the fuck are you telling? Wait, how the fuck did we not hear about this? How did everybody on the right side of the building know that this guy was had been had tested positive and we're doing what they can. But no one told Democrats like what other purpose is there except for a really fucked up malicious reason to do that. And that was sort of like the tone of his entire like live stream as well as from many other Democratic lawmakers. But the reason he was saying that he didn't tell people was actually because of his privacy. What he said was, I can confirm every member or staff member

who met the criteria for exposure was immediately contacted and required to self-isolate for 14 days except for democrats out of respect for my family and those who i may have exposed i chose to keep my positive case private now that i have fully recovered and completed the quarantine as required by the department of health i now feel it's important or appropriate time to share this information with the public and my constituents what the fuck that doesn't make any sense no we already know what the dangers are we already know about being asymptomatic we already know about the danger you go home you live with other people you have elderly family members you may have to be taken care of that is a it's just so dark and despicable and like it's turning into like a weird thing.

We were like, we would, you know, uh, make a joke about it. Be like, wait, wait,

what's GC Republicans trying to infect Democrats with COVID. Right. That's kind of the vibe of this thing. Yeah. Not that, not that I'm expecting it to happen, but there should be some kind of fucking consequence for doing that. And because,

you know, it's not like this this rep is like hurting for pto it's not a situation like that where he's like i gotta be at work you know because i can't afford like he can afford to not be at work he shouldn't be at work yeah there's like no there's just no and and it looks like there's good there's good there's just no consequence in place for that so it just won't happen yeah i mean it's i it's criminally negligent at the very least to hide your diagnosis from people who like this like the contact tracing is so important and if suddenly someone in your family fell and you're like how the fuck did that happen and then you find out oh it could this it's just so dark and it absolutely reeks of

the lack of like respect for someone's humanity or just ability to live when you're like okay don't tell the democrats that i got covid okay like don't that this will be so funny when they find out they're gonna they're gonna lose it right like what yeah did they think that the democrats were gonna like weaponize like i i can't even like trace the logic of like what what the cynical i don't think of there's logic reasoning is i think that's that's a bad person who doesn't care for human life and thinks him and his people matter than other people, which is the theme of this country. And I expect nothing less from someone who thinks that he can act like that. You have to tell people. Yeah. You know, it's a white supremacist party that implies a certain amount

of a certain inability to view other people who are different from you as human so all right uh and speaking of hiding shit the trump administration is set to break another precedent the council of economic advisors is going to not release for public consumption their economic projections uh in j July or August, even though this is kind of unprecedented, right? Yeah. I mean, it's like, wait, what do you mean? You do this all the time. You tell us what the projection is. This is the internal economic team. But I think because everyone knows the economy is so bad and Trump is all about like, if you don't talk about it, then it's

not happening. That somehow by suppressing this economic data that people won't notice things are bad because their day to day lives, they are not seeing that there's record unemployment. I'm not quite I mean, I get that it prevents a headline of saying, like, look at this projection. But either way, people understand that things are not good, that things absolutely are not good with the economy. But it's just the same thing. Like the take from the White House is essentially saying like, well, you know, with this whole thing,

like a lot of the data is unreliable because of the pandemic. And like they say, quote, it would be it's foolish to demand such a forecast simply because that is business as usual. Protect particularly when that forecast may mislead the public is what the official said. What? Yeah, I don't know. This is just so, you know, the underreaction to what is it's just like I don't understand. So they're saying now. Sorry.

Sometimes I'm very slow with this sort of stuff. Reality, it makes them look bad. Okay, so they're saying that. And that would mislead the public. The facts would confuse us is what they're saying. Right. Yeah, basically. It would say, no, essentially the subtext is,

it's going to look bad, but that's actually not the deal. And then we don't want people to be like oh it's gonna be all bad and mislead them into thinking the economy's bad because it's actually so good and that's why it's literally like Titanic just hitting the iceberg of like don't tell anyone

anything's going on they'll just find out when their feet hit the water string quartet play some more Vivaldi. Yeah, yeah. They're fucking, yeah, they're doing whatever. Nearer my God to thee, just hoping no one notices. It's like Chernobyl.

Everyone there were like, ooh, just don't say anything. No, right. And that's the thing. The same thing is like, it's like a fire's in the back part of your house and you're receiving guests. And someone's like, there's a fire. Shut the fuck up, man. It's not burning in the front of the house and i don't want to i don't want to mislead my guests but it's like but the fire will get to you eventually

yeah because there's no unless you are sitting on like a five trillion dollar stimulus package that's just for working people i don't think i don't know how you're going to be like, see what I did, man? I really, really, really helped us out of this one. Yeah. Yeah, it's really amazing. I think the more I see from America in action, the more it's... The Chernobyl thing is exactly right.

They're trying to run this like an authoritarian, like communist state, but because they're the party that is like the jingoistic xenophobic uh anti-communists they get away with it it's all just like it's all just triangulation and like that they can do the thing that the left could never get away with because like the thing that they're known for is just being small government, even though they spend more money than the average Democratic administration.

Or steal more money. They steal more money than the average Democratic administration. Everyone's like, I can see the black smoke, though. It is time. We are at the weekend, so it's time to figure out

what we are going to be re-watching or watching this weekend. I'm going to run through the Netflix top 10. So there is a Jeffrey Epstein documentary at number one. And I don't know. that's one that I'm going to watch one way or another yeah I was like I'm going to watch it

but do I want to talk or think about it I'll watch it horror in silence yeah uncut gems is number two sweet magnolias which was on the top 10 last week and it seems like it's steel Magnolias as a series.

She's back 12 years on the bench, baby. She was quarreling way before. No, Jamie Lynn Spears. Okay, I'm interested. They say it's a small town in the South called Serenity, and it's based on Cheryl Woods' novels and follows friends maddie helen and dana sue as they balance their families friendships and love lives it sounds like i

think somebody needs to watch that because it it is it does have some staying power like it was in the top five last week and uh is is hanging around uh so sweet Magnolias. We have Avatar at four still. It was number one last week. Dead to Me, still hanging in there. Riverdale. History 101 is a new one. Just seems to be a history documentary about

big buzzy things like McDonald's and Coke and shit like that. Just Go With It, which is apparently an adam sandler movie that came out in the summer i have a i have a question about the netflix top 10 has there ever any been any like conspiracy theories about it because sometimes you see the netflix top 10 and you're like i just don't unless i'm like i i feel like sometimes it's it's just like what does netflix feel like telling you everyone is watching

and there's no, I mean, who is really to say? Because they don't tell you their numbers about really anything. Sometimes you're just like, I think they might just be tossing this one for a fun one. I think what they do is they probably weight it, like 65% of the slots have to go to netflix originals like right there has to be some algorithm in place or because they've just signed a new licensing deal they want a window shop window their new content that you might not have heard of to make sure you're now getting

hooked on this new content that they brought on either way like i'm not i've never looked at this and been like yeah this is exactly what america is thinking i think it's like this is a great marketing tool my theory is like if something doesn't totally make sense in the top 10 and stuff like just go with it sort of makes sense because netflix and adam sandler are so one in the same but like if something doesn't totally make sense i feel like it will make sense in a year and a half because netflix has some secret deal to reboot something and that's why they're like pushing it on you but right right right they just go with it universe i hear they're uh expanding the just go with it universe into a multi-franchise maybe they just flash is at number nine and then the lovebirds is at number 10 uh that's the camille uh israe uh rom-com slash

adventure the trailer by michael showalter oh is it the trailer looked funny to me um and but that that's one that came out in the past couple days uh and i feel like they would uh cram into the top 10 if it wasn't earning a spot on the top 10. Right, they're just like, let's get our money's worth and keep it hanging in. Yeah. And then there's all sorts of other things on streaming,

so it doesn't need to be the Netflix top 10. Jamie, are you interested? I'm down for many of them. Yeah. Are you interested in Sweet Magnolias? If not, I'm happy to watch a couple episodes of that. Joanna Garcia. I'll try it.

Sure. You want to do Sweet Magnolias? Sweet Magnolias or Cum Sled Gems. Either one's good with me. Cum Sled Gems. Do you think Sweet Magnolias? Have you seen Uncut Gems? I've seen it.

Yeah, I already watched it since it came out on Netflix. And I saw it in theaters. Do you guys think Sweet Magnolia is an extension of the Reba universe? Really? It is? No, I'm asking because

Joanna Garcia played Reba's daughter in Reba, so potentially... Remember she got married to... What's his name? Who ends up in Shameless. I forget his name. But then they... She had married to, what's his name, who ends up in Shameless. I forget his name. But then she had a child, and then it was Rocky, so there is a chance that Sweet Magnolia's is after she divorces that idiot

and moves to Magnolia Town or whatever this- Serenity. Serenity. And that's the extended Reba universe. Sweet Magnolia's. Okay. I can do Ep universe. Sweet Magnolias. Okay. I can do Epstein. I can do Avatar.

What are you thinking, Miles? I think I'm going to watch The Lovebirds. It was good. I liked it. The Lovebirds. Yeah. It does look good. The reviews have been pretty good.

It's nice to see people of color in a romance. It's so unheard of. At one point, I'm like, damn, this is just about people of color falling in love. I truly was like, that's so wild. You're allowed to have brown people fall in love as the main people falling in love. It's novel, given the tone of most films we see. the main people like the main people falling in love it's it's

it's novel yeah given the the tone of most films we see uh okay then I'll watch the Epstein one

and have have a good time figuring it out we got a wide swath of things going on this week dude Jack's gonna start his Epstein review off

he goes I think it's an attack on post-modernism whoa wait I'm sorry are you trying to be post-modern or are you criticizing post-modernism epstein um oh my god yeah that's i'm i'm actually excited that you're looking because your your mind for the conspiracies and just unsavory characters in general i think you're the the gears are going to be moving.

I have a question. Do you guys know the background of the Epstein doc and how they were able to make it so quickly? No. I don't. It was supposed to be a 30 for 30, right? Oh, is that what it was? And then they were like, moving up to the big leagues. No, I don't know what it is.

Yeah, I have no idea. 30 for 30. It's directed by Lisa Bryant, produced by Joe Berlinger, Radical Media, and crime author James Patterson, who published a book about Epstein in 2016. Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, damn.

It feels like produced by, what's her name? Ghislaine. Ghislaine Maxwell. Ghislaine is. So there is a new Epstein book that suggests that Ghislaine Maxwell was having an affair with Bill Clinton. um i do i do kind of all sorts of i kind of like that theory because there's a

part of me that kind of believes that hillary clinton is fine with her husband having sex with whoever because it's kind of like well i mean then he's not bothering me like doesn't she have that vibe of like honestly like a couple that's been married 60 years? Yeah, but also like is kind of like a little progressive in the manner of like, honestly, like who am I to hold him back, you know? And you know, it's- That's progressive.

Well- Repeatedly committing transgressions against his wife. But if she's okay with it and they have an open relationship in that sense because she's Hillary and I don't know what she's so weird to me. Like, I never know what I don't know. She's like a weird blob of like intensity and capitalism. And I don't know what she's up to that.

I would believe that she lives in that world of like one percenters who they're like, whatever. Right. I can't think of a headline that i care less about than someone's affair with bill clinton right you're just like we've done this we've yeah we get it like tell me something fucking like worthwhile i'm running out of headspace for clinton information it's kind of amazing to me that this is like the best case scenario because he was on so many of those Epstein like planes. Yeah. Right.

Statutory rape express planes that the fact that he is having an ongoing affair with like a sexual predator is like the best case scenario because. Well, I mean, it would be. like the best case scenario because otherwise it would be. Never forget he said he had an affair with Monica Lewinsky and basically threw her under the bus because he had anxiety. He had anxiety. And this new book also says that he says that the reason he did it was because she was the only woman in the White House at the time, like literally physically in the White House

during the government shutdown. And that is her biggest crime. How dare you? Are you out of your mind, Monica? Being the only woman surrounded by the horniest president? I get it. Sorry. She was the only one?

When you think about it, she owes him and a person. You should have been hotter. Instead, I had to settle for you because you were the only one in the building. What the fuck? Stop letting him talk. This is the logic of the people in power, y'all. Really briefly, before we go, while we're on the subject of movies,

there's new details that suggest that Tom Cruise making a movie in space thing might actually be real like there's actually a director attached the the director of go um the director of go and what is go live die repeat uh it was like from 1998 yeah yeah it was like the most 90s 90s yeah doug lyman, he's directed a bunch of Tom Cruise movies, and he made Live, Die, Repeat slash Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise. Wow. I didn't realize.

Yeah. Yeah. So he apparently wrote the first draft of the script and has been attached all along, but this makes total sense to me the more I learn about it, that it's just Tom Cruise wanting to go to space. Right. So for a long time, the most expensive shot in the history of movies

was the shot at the beginning of Vanilla Sky when Tom cruise is like driving to work and then realizes the city's totally empty and gets out of his car and runs around time square uh and and it's empty that was like they had to shut down time square to do that uh it was like a two million dollar uh for every 10 second shot. And it was just for a dream sequence. And it was just, it had nothing to do with the plot. And we know how Tom Cruise likes to run around in movies.

So I feel like his movie career is just like a vehicle for him to do things that he thinks are cool uh like sprinting through an empty time square or uh in this case like this is going to be so unnecessarily expensive they're going to have to send an entire like film crew uh up to space to like shoot him doing these things so that it will look... It's going to come off flawlessly too, I'm going to add. Right. Yeah. As we just saw on Wednesday,

it's hard to shoot people into space. Yeah, firing people into space is hard. But it's like with NASA and SpaceX, right, you're saying? Yeah, so it's. Yeah. So it's partnering. It'll be it'll just be like Space Force propaganda in the same way Transformers is like, hey, you really

should join the Marines. Don't you think? Isn't Megan Fox working hot on this Camaro? I hope it's just a remake of Rocket Man with Harlan Williams. You guys remember that movie?

Yeah, well, in a way, I salute Tom Cruise for finding a medium in which he can just basically act out whatever he wants to do under the guise of doing a movie, much in the same way I use podcasting to be like, I'm going to smoke weed and watch reality TV. I would like a gravity blanket. Thank you. I'm a low-stakes tom cruise who just likes to sit but if if it costs 20 million dollars for every uh oh god minute of

420 day fiance that you recorded uh that would be it does that'd be another thing it does cost oh i haven't i haven't been looking at the books don't look at the book hey anna cook the books that's what i'm doing, baby. I've got a laundromat I'm running now. Well, Anna, it's been a pleasure having you, as always. Thank you. I just want to remind everyone that Tom Cruise does have literal human slaves working to make sure his life goes round in Scientology.

Just a quick reminder. Not a great person. Just believes he's a great person because everyone has paid around him to tell him no one's ever told him he's not yeah because he will look everybody on set in the eye and shake their hand doesn't mean he does not have literally a organization slash cult holding him up just saying that's all his son is a sick dj though all i think about when i see tom cruise rich man's son is a sick dj i know that I think about when I see Tom Cruise. Every rich man's son is a sick DJ. I know, that's true.

When I think of Tom Cruise, all I see is the hole from Scientology. You know, the hole where they send the executives to be basically abused? That's all I think about. And they have to fight each other and shit? Yeah, and I'm like, well, huh, you're built on that. So I don't care for this. Fun fact, when I used to work at Lasertag, And I'm like, well, huh, you're built on that. So I don't care for this. Fun fact, when I used to work at Laser Tag,

I did a private Laser Tag birthday for that young Connor Cruz and his sister at the time. They bought the whole place out. And Tom Cruise looked every staff member in the eye and shook their hand. Hi, I'm Tom. Great to meet you. Thanks so much. And I'm like, oh.

That's dark. Like, sir, just go eat your pizza. Sir, just please put two hands on the laser during the game or else the laser will not fire. I'd love to meet the guy who made this pizza. I imagine him at- And just sprints out the door, two dominoes to shake the hand of every person who-

Just imagine him at Chuck E. Cheese shaking the hands of the animatronics for being there and playing. Chuck. Say your name's chuck charles pasquale tom cruise great to meet you man thanks for being here thanks for being here um awesome and uh where can people find you follow you hey guys i'm always i'm always here on this show so you don't have to thank me for being here. I just happened to pull my mic down.

Anna, pull your mic on down. Thank you for pulling your mic down with us. Yeah. I'm at Anna Hosnier on Twitter. Please check out either one of my shows, Ethnically Ambiguous, which is all about being a person of color in America. We're going to be talking a lot about what's going on currently and we talk actually you know our most recent episode called

we are not just the color of our skin i would recommend checking that out because we talk all about how this entire country was built by white people yet they still have the nerve to ask us to behave i don't know this is a lot to unpack in the way that how white people treat people of color and then act as if they haven't built this entire country to systematically oppress them at the same time. So, uh, yeah,

check that out. And then if you would like to check out something on a lighter note, I, my podcasts are really all over the place, but, uh, uh, check out if you look, maybe you watch below the place. But check out.

Look, maybe you watch Below Deck. Maybe you check out Bravo shows. Maybe you just like reality TV in general. You don't have to watch Below Deck to check out Deckheads. Me and Nick Turner, we have a lot of fun. We do a lot of boat facts, which is just like all over the place where Nick tells me a fact about boats or just water or just something in general. Like we recently learned that uh most cruise ships have morgues in them because people die on boats i mean i guess that was kind

of a dark one but uh you know it's very interesting this isn't lighthearted fair also like you know a lot of boats back in the day they didn't allow whistling on you couldn't just casually whistle because whistling is how you communicate certain ass certain things on boats. So, um, to do that was, uh, frowned upon. And,

uh, yeah, we have a lot of fun stuff going on and then we just break down the show. And a lot of it is kind of breaking down how, uh, rich people treat, uh, lower class or in their eyes,

lower class folk. And we have a lot of fun with that. And we talk a lot about our favorite cast members. Nick falls in love with a new woman on the show every season. And I have to talk him down or remind him he has a girlfriend. So it's a lot of fun. You love to see it. You'll love to see Nick fall in love with someone who in the end turns out to

be very problematic and it looks real bad on him. It's real fun. It's fun to point it out. And Nick Turner also tries to convince me that he is an immigrant because his mom technically immigrated here at seven years old from Jamaica. So it's a lot of like a fight back and forth between us, but we have a lot of fun. It's all a good nature. We, you know,

we're, we're trying to get iHeartRadio to, to charter a yacht for us. We'll see how it goes. And the biggest part is we record from below, below deck. That's right. Podcasters are lower than the staff on a super yacht.

So that's where we are at all times in the build. We're in the bilge literally where they keep all the storage. so that's where we are at all times in the build we're in the bilge literally uh where they keep all the storage so that's where we are uh so check that out is there a tweet or some other active social media you've been enjoying young nick at the brat wrote y'all notice them scam likely calls stopped yeah them motherfuckers lost their job too which i thought was interesting have you's true.

because a lot of people seem to have takes on looting and such. At rtyson82 tweets, if you're mad about looting, wait till you find out how capitalism works. Yeah. Yeah, there's an Onion headline. Man questions if it's really necessary for protesters to be black.
