courtesy of my dumb brain. What that means? It's that Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend is the other podcast. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That first rape podcast. I thought it was like whatever so-and-so need wedding dates. I don't know why I just took it there, but I was having issues. Okay.

Yeah. I've got more need wedding dates than needs a friend vibes. I'm Jack. You're Miles. I am today. Once again, we have completely wasted a fascinating conversation before we hit record. So I'm going to just trace it for people, I guess, real quick. Just leave it at a...

That'll be the last thing we can talk about. Okay. Why it took us so long to start recording because of one thing I heard. Yeah, yeah. All right. Let's start off with rick santorum republican politician whose last name is synonymous with the foam that forms uh during anal sex um which was a attribute from the gay community to his rampant homophobia uh anyways he's saying uh america invented its culture

completely out of whole cloth and that native americans didn't have much to do with it and oh boy just a real real bad take yeah come on now oh how oh god what would that do to you if you had to admit that that wasn't true that's also just a weird thing it's like why are you digging your heels and I don't know racists have too much time

yeah it's it's truly like one of the great untold stories of American history mostly untold stories of American history, mostly untold, is just how much white settlers just stole from Native cultures and just basically waited until...

They had no way of settling in America until 90% of Native Americans were wiped out by a plague. And then they just showed up and started moving into their houses, literally, and using their dishes. You guys know how to grow food. I'm sorry. I don't have any skills. Help me.

They literally were like, it's amazing how this whole, there are these just natural uh gardens and like parks in ohio like you can just ride your ride your horse and carriage right through the forest it's amazing how it grew like that turns out that's not how it grew man um oh yeah come on man leave santon what did he even fuck why did he even say this like it's obviously he was responding to some other thing where people were like we need to respect indigenous cultures probably he means like what do you mean what huh i don't see any of that now here today also go bravos farmer john is trending famous in la hot dog maker no longer will make uh the dodger dogs which is i mean they've always farmer john makes the dodger dog farmer john has

been a mainstay if you ever want to go to a promotional giveaway night at dodger stadium chances are there's a fucking big ass farmer john thing just blasted on the side of it uh to let you know you got that shit for free uh but they have now i guess apparently they have turned down an opportunity to extend their renew their contract with the Dodgers because now they are, you know, I guess hooking up LAFC with their to meet needs. But like Dodger Twitter is very it's like any fandom, right? Like you take away a thing that they're used to. It's now a crisis. But I'm and I get look not all hot dogs.

They're not all built the same way. But let's be real there wasn't anything about a dodger dog that tasted any different than any other hot dog aside from the you know length etc uh and it is yeah great be frank but i don't know like what do you what who are these hot dog sommeliers that are so concerned that like you're gonna forget half these people are drunk as shit anyway eating them things right that's why they taste so good bring back farmer john to life uh is what i say hashtag bring back farmer john delay back farmers i totally missed that tony stark uh hashtag when it was trending last week but marvel fans who are bad at writing had the hashtag bring back Tony Stark to life trending.

And that's funny to me. Like what's that going to do for you? Yeah. What's that going to do for you if they bring him back to life for you to back? Yes. Bring him to life back. Supreme Court is trending because we might

all be packing packing packing yeah uh i mean they are really sure they're hearing a second amendment case for i think it's been like 10 years or something 11 years since the supreme court has taken up a case like this this um this could essentially redefine like what it means to conceal carry and like who can and who can and if everyone can that's your fucking right to stay strapped in public

I don't that's not good but I will say this I think that only intensifies like the looks the nervous looks at the leadership in this country be like okay what is going on because y'all are still letting the filibuster rock to avoid actually, you know, creating any kind of change. And now you have a six, three conservative majority on the Supreme

Court who I don't, do you think, I don't know when I look at a six, three majority second amendment, I'm pretty sure I know what's going to happen so are we going to expand the court now too what's going on because that's or we're just meant to be like we're just going to fast forward to the mad max part right yeah it'll uh can't think of a worse idea at this moment in time for right now for america what are they doing yeah but uh seems like i mean there was the energy that trump got from just his entire policy being owning the libs and it seems to be like that's still the conservative motive but like it just seems like everything they're just now it just seems like they're habitually wrong about everything like that.

Um, I don't know. Rick Santorum, by the way, his quote, we birthed the nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here.

I mean, yes, we have native Americans, but candidly there isn't much native American culture in American culture. Um, the, like, if you have no idea about colonial whatever you know forget it yeah yeah santorum it up asshole yeah um anyways elizabeth city is trending this is a city where a black man was shot while driving away from the police and shot and killed.

And they have declared a state of emergency ahead of the release of the body cam footage from the police. So probably going to be pretty bad for the police would be my guess. I don't. Yeah, you don't what i again you know this is we're gonna keep doing this and the police are gonna keep showing themselves to be who they are until we're able to fucking move on from this this just fucking atrocity that is called american policing um and yeah i can only imagine what was actually said i mean it just breaks your

heart when you're like man the evidence is gonna cause a fucking problem right essentially and you don't want to hear that um they said it was because they needed time to blur the faces out but i haven't actually seen what the i know the family was going to view it and then say something but i've yet to see like what's been happening in in the specifics there, but it's just not. Yeah. It's never a good thing to hear. Hey, when you see what happened, there's going to be no excuse, is what the subtext of that, and it just breaks my heart.

Netflix still has their windows boarded up, the Netflix building, which is weird. On Sunset? Yeah. Like, fully boarded up um jesus and finally yeah so uh speaking of netflix uh the oscars which they don't seem very good at winning uh the oscars happened last night uh it was very strange we talked about it in a little more detail yesterday or on tomorrow's

episode but i all right let's get to uh what the conversations that happened before we started recording look we're just so i do want to get on a hose i want to get on a hose knees take on my octopus teacher which was that you can't trust that octopus uh he's probably trying to kill that dude like octopuses are mad manipulative and then she said he's probably at the bottom the guy who won the award last night who we saw on the oscars win the award she thinks he uh is probably at the bottom of the ocean being eaten by crabs which uh would suggest that much like uh finding dory or what we saw last night was an octopus based uh illusion being done by maybe an octopus with a with a coffee pot or something um and just amazing uh skills of uh manipulation and color changing uh and anyways that caused you to uh recount something

you had recently heard miles i had heard a i'm assuming this is some kind of colloquialism but someone said in they felt really bad about themselves and they said you know man right now i feel lower than a shark's dick yeah and i said i'm huh which got me thinking i'm like punching that up because i'm like i don't know how low sharks go in the water i feel like a crab is better they're bottom feeders that could be lower if we're talking about depths that you could feel lower than and then anna was like oh have you seen sharks they got two dicks and then we started looking at shark shark photos and sharks are and then it just turned into sharks are freaky.

Sharks are freaky and they have massive, massive dicks. They got two because they got two pelvic fins. Okay. That's why I thought it's some, some other shit, two pelvic fins. And also like they,

they're, they like to bite and shit and hit it from the side. It's a whole thing. Pictures are really erotic. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I feel like if that were were if that shit went down in an aquarium like they would have to black out the aquarium just because there's kids around they're like i know you wouldn't be able to connect the dots here but like we can't have kids seeing this hitting it from the side biting the dorsal fin no no no right

um and is saying uh apparently they have to bite so they don't float away uh-huh all right okay i mean the but like i i've always i've always thought it would be funny to imagine like dinosaur dicks uh like at jurassic park if like the t-rex had had a big penis but people like no shark or dinosaurs probably don't have penises but like this this shark penis is exactly what i had imagined uh as being the weirdest the very weird possibility of like if the t-rex was walking around just had uh like three foot long penis just dangling down there. We don't know it's not true, right?

I don't know. I always said that's the hill that you always want to die on. It is. That's your prerogative. Show the T-Rex's penis, cowards! That's why we can't get into any natural history museums i i this is really startling to me to see this because i grew up a huge shark shark fan and to know that they were burying the lead so to speak uh when i was a kid not telling me that sharks had not one, but two massive dongers.

Pretty interesting. I think they're called claspers. Now, that seems misguided or misleading to call them claspers. Yeah, I think because, I don't know, that's probably their way of being like, dude, don't start talking about the shark's dicks. Just let's call them something else. Right, or they probably didn't know what they were. They were like, oh, look look they got a couple claspers down there oh my god oh lord what is that what is a clasper get the kids out of here honey get the kids out of here it's not a clasp it's not a clasp it says uh anatomical structure

found in some groups of animals used in mating cartilaginous posterior portion of public served to channel man i don't know whatever class brother friendly ghost good to see you uh all right well that is where we will end it for today class for the please don't cc katie golden yeah she she's already told me that dinosaurs most likely had cloacas, I think they're called. So I get it. She's already pissed on my dream. But, you know, I still like to think about it sometimes, every once in a while.

It's funny to me. That is going to do it for this afternoon. We're back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wear a mask and don't do nothing about white supremacy we'll talk to y'all tomorrow bye bye k hasn't heard from her sister in seven years. I have a proposal for you.
