I slogged through Stranger Things over the way.
What are you talking about?
We're just talking about just shows you're watching.
Yeah, but yeah.
I would say Stranger Things is worse than Plurubis.
Stranger Things, I was getting angry at my wife about it.
Yeah.
She's like, oh, I like it.
That's a reaction to all entertainment.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
What the fuck is this shit?
but that shit was bad
that was really bad get in here
when she wasn't even watching it
yeah no she was because she was the driving force
and I was like dude I'm off this and she's like
but we already watched like we've seen everything up until this point
I'm like fine and it was just I don't know man
people hated the ending I know
yeah it didn't end is it over yeah it's over
whole epilogue and everything I think also seeing
when them as kids like because they had flashed back
to the first season I'm like oh that's this is why the show was so good
because it was about these kids.
Uh-huh.
And then I think I realized, I'm like,
you guys kept coming back to the well
and they got older and older and older
that it really lost the sort of magic
of like these little kids
figuring out something much bigger than they were.
And I think that was like,
I think I was sort of like,
God, this show was so good.
And then they became old teenagers and shit,
and I just don't even think that shit is interesting anymore.
It's like all that mystery box shit, too,
it was just like,
well, like once you find out what the answer actually is,
It's just like, oh, yeah.
I was like, what?
The first season was cool when they cut that kid open
and he was like a pillow on the inside.
I was like, fuck, yeah, that's cool.
But then, yeah, it's all just like.
Demogorgans.
Is it a mind flare or a demigorgian?
I don't know, man.
You're a fuck.
Who's in charge?
God damn it.
My Heart Podcast.
Guaranteed Human.
Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanko Wally.
And I'm Hurricane Dabolu.
It's a new year.
And on the podcast,
Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.
Which means being honest about what we know,
what we don't know,
and how messy it can all be.
I like to sleep in late and sleep early.
Is there a chronotype for that,
or am I just depressed?
Health stuff is about learning, laughing,
and feeling a little less alone.

Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of checking in on the Black Effect Podcast Network.
You know, we always say New Year, New Me, but real change starts on the inside.
It starts with giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals.
And on my podcast, we talk mental health, healing, growth, and everything you need to step into your next season, whole and empowered.
New Year, Real You.
Listen to checking in with Michelle Williams from the Black Effect Podcast Network
on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026, but feeling stuck?
I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab,
I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck,
unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind.
I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy.
Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows.
Who would you call if the unthinkable happened?
My sister shot 22 times.
A police officer, right?
But what do you do when the monster is the man in blue?
This dude is the devil. He hurt you.
This is the story of a detective who thought he was above the law, until we came to.
together to take him down.
I said, you're going to see my face to the day that you die.
Listen to the girlfriends, untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcast.
Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 420, man.
episode two of
Do you daily sight guys!
Dude, get the cough in.
It gets you even a higher.
Dude, coughing harder, dog.
Yeah, dude.
Dude, here, spray this oseum on.
Your stepmom won't even know.
Blow into this tube with dryer sheets.
Blow it into the toilet, dude.
My first use of dryer sheets was
to clean up the smell of pot smoke.
It's a production of iHeartRadio
is a podcast where you take deep dab into America's
shared consciousness through the day's news we also have a new weekly history version of the show
dropping each Monday morning where we deep dive into a different icon we've done this piggy
Arnold Schwarzenegger we covered Santa very controversial episode before the uh before before
the Christmas uh you can look for those episodes on Mondays our next one will be coming out
this upcoming Monday but right now it is Tuesday January 6th 2020
When the Patriots fucking did something.
Thank you.
It's also National Cuddle Up Day.
It looks like you just cuddle up with a pet.
Maybe that's what they were up to down there.
Maybe.
Maybe.
They were just celebrating National Cuddle Up Day.
National Technology Day.
That doesn't sound good at all anymore to hear.
National Tech.
No fucking way.
It's also National Shortbread Day.
And also, shout out the legumes because it's National Bean Day.
Get it in with your favorite bean.
oh man i ate so many black eyed peas what are you guys doing to celebrate january 6th me uh i'm gonna
storm the capital yeah yeah i got my horns i got my horns going and my apology ready yeah
i wouldn't it'll ever be like the way there's civil war reenactors yes there'll ever be
january 6th rate actors i don't know it's god it's so hard it just storm like a library
it'll probably be like yeah in some i guess not an alternate universe like if this regime just
runs this whole country in the ground
for decades to come, that probably
will be a thing. I mean, that was, you know, that was a turning
port. Yeah. We stormed.
Well, it'll, like, this regime will go down
in history and be, like, looked down upon
I have to hope. And then, yeah,
the way that people are
about the Confederates, they'll be
about the Jan 6th. But see, like,
they already kind of are. For sure. But, like, the
reason people cling to the Confederacy
still, too, a lot of it has to do with, like,
General Sherman absolutely
destroying the South.
And like that anger still being there for generations, where is our general Sherman?
I know.
We need one.
Where's our William Ticomsa Sherman?
I just think we got to let it ride, you know?
Let them be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My name is Jack O'Brien, aka Jizz Jaws jackal sauce, courtesy of Wacharoni in the Discord,
hard at work over the break, giving me a personalized version of Chris Cross Applesauce.
For me, a guy who likes Jaws and Jizz, I guess.
It's like if Dr. Seuss was a high school bully.
Right.
Why don't you sit down Jizz, Jaws, Jackal sauce style?
Man, remember that, that was that tweet as like,
crisscross applesauce might be the greatest rebranding of a problematic thing ever.
They nailed that one.
Yeah.
That's like so much, like that's an example of where they like did something woke and
absolutely fucking pulled up from the logo.
and nailed it.
It's so often
their version of like
we're going to do something
to acknowledge
that there are people of color
in this country
and that will be them
getting a photo op
with a football coach
at half time
of the football game
for 15 seconds
that just interrupts the game
and makes people annoyed
and it's like
yeah or you could do
you can like try and make it good
so that people don't resent it
I don't know
Maybe that's an idea.
Hire the people who came up with crisscross applesauce, is what I say.
I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
Hey, it's Miles Gray back from his digital hibernation.
It's good to see everybody.
Shout out some Zygeng I ran into on the streets.
That was a wonderful moment at the butcher shop, bro.
I was out here.
At the butcher shop?
Yo, I walked in.
I think your name is Cyrus.
Forgive me if I misremembered your name.
my fellow Zike Gang member.
But I came in and somebody pulled up and go, hey, you Miles Gray?
And I said, yeah, they're like, I heard your voice, dude.
And I thought you were in the store.
And I was, I felt, I felt touched.
And then everybody was like, who the fuck is this guy?
He smells.
I had a like, I'm stressed sweating.
I regret too much for him.
Look, if I'm going to be totally transparent, I do wear a shirt that says, I'm Miles Gray from the podcast.
From Dave, he's like, ask me about it.
Yeah.
And then on the back, there was a QR code.
It's really obnoxious.
You're like, bait me.
You're loudly announcing, you're announcing like news topics.
AKA the Lord of Lancashim, the showgoon with no gun, the proud gunner sitting
top of the table because Arsenalers.
Wow.
Six points clear, baby.
I did notice that.
Usually I check in on Arsenal.
It's not so hot.
But this time, I was very happy.
I was like, yay.
We've been at the top of the table during this period.
This is like now the fifth time and we've never gone on to win the league.
despite having that.
It's happening.
Come on, boys.
Let's do it.
As a 76ers fan, I see you.
Yeah.
I'm behind you.
I have the same thing where it's like,
it's just gonna, we're gonna go out in the second round.
Yeah.
I'm ashamed of myself.
Don't support them.
Miles, we're still to be joined in our third seat
by a very funny comedian, actor, writer,
Improvisor, one of our favorite guests.
His podcast is rebrand.
He's got a very,
funny special called spiritually filthy up on YouTube. He just pulled jammed into the Zoom. It's
Moore! What's up you beautiful geniuses? I've started referring to my wife as part of the Zite
gang and she's like, I don't think, I mean, I don't like that at all. Please stop. Well, you like me.
I kind of, I have other fandoms. I like to acknowledge first probably. Yeah, you're not number one.
I tried to vary it up from nose grind with a with a with, with,
pole jam. I like a pole jam.
Yeah. It sounds both like very
sexually suggestive and also
powerful. It's a yeah, on what's called
a Philly bar because those came out of Philadelphia
because people would, they would
back their cars into the bars to slant
them so people could 50 up off them
and stuff. That's what you did to just get into the
Zoom. Yeah, that's how I get into my office.
It looked awesome. Yeah.
More it is of course
our skateboarding correspondent, our special
skateboarding correspondent.
Yep.
Skateboarding pastor.
Hey kids.
Have you heard the good news?
Yeah.
Watch this.
Jesus inspired kickflip.
Oh, man.
What do you think the skateboarding pastor would think of like the Christ air move?
They would love it.
You think they would do that or would they call something else?
They'd be like, we don't want to say it.
So we call it like this a savior grab.
Oh.
I feel like they're pretty, uh, I feel like they're pretty, uh, good with just invoking Christ at
at anything, comparing anything.
Maybe.
You know, they're desperate for Christianity's to be cool.
So they're like, you know, Jesus is a lot like Tupac.
And you're like, I don't think.
Right, right, right.
I was at a white elephant and we got like a Jesus plushy that you could either put in the freezer or in a microwave as like a heating pad.
And it's like very comedic.
And we brought it back.
And the guy's child saw it and thought like, was like, oh, it's a toy for me.
And I'm like, what the fuck am I going to say about this shit?
So we call it Jesse.
I'm like, oh, that's Jesse.
he's like that's a Jesse doll
and he's like oh Jesse doll
and then we were at another place
and he saw Jesus somewhere
he's like it's Jesse
I'm like yeah there's Jesse everywhere
I love that as a nickname
Jesse is all over man
you know you're Jesse
you know there are times
yeah Jesse is a lot of pressure
being me
can we just go by Jesse
call me or Jess dude
the G man
how like sort of realistic looking
as this doll is it kind of cartoony
or is it like cartoonish
it looks like the buddy Christ
from dogma
you know it's like
Basically, where the stigmata go, it's little hearts on the palms.
So it has like a red sash.
It's very cartooning.
That's like in that Simpsons episode when Homer, he's on acid or something,
and he's shaving and he cuts his face,
but a rainbow spouts out of it.
It's like instead of blood is his heart?
Yeah.
We're thrilled to have you here.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
You are our first guest of the year 2026.
on honor, which we have a good feeling about it. We haven't asked you yet, but I feel like this is going to be a good one just based on how it's kicking off. Good momentum. Seems like bringing some good momentum. We're nose grinding some good momentum into this. I'm overdoing it. I apologize. All right. We'll get to know you a bit a lit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about how Donald Trump chose who is going to run Venezuela. It's petty and vindictive.
as you would expect.
I'm assuming it's Papa John.
We'll see.
Shockingly not.
It is Shaq.
They considered Papa John
and then went with Shaq
the same way that Papa John said.
I like Shaq.
We're going to talk about
the fact that Venezuela rigged
the 2020 election.
They're trying out different.
Again, they're just trying
different things out,
different explanations
for why they're in there.
And then we will, of course,
check in with our dear leader's health
because there were some questions
circulating over the break.
May he stay strong.
May he stay as,
strong as he always has been, and not go out like Stan Sharra.
Yeah. May he go against his mortal doctor's recommendations to find the higher medical
truth only guaranteed to him as a conduit of God's salvation. Thank you. As he has been,
apparently, for the entirety of his adult life. So we'll talk about that. Don't trust the
elite friends. Do you guys remember who Stan Sharra is? No. That was the guy during COVID, when he got
COVID, his friend Stan Sharra had just passed away. And he was like, I just, I don't want to go out like
Stan Sharra. Oh, wow. Yikes. So I feel like that's the Marley or whoever the ghost, the chain rattling
ghost is. Marley and Marley. Marley and me. For now for the Muppets. We're going to talk about
more Venezuela stuff. We can't get it up. John Krasinski, long time CIA, up, who's
always just being like, guys, you don't understand how bad it would be for you without the CIA.
He's like literally said that in interviews.
But we're going to talk about one of his, I don't know why we even need to summarize it.
It's one of the Jack Ryan shows that he did that we all watched on Amazon Prime.
Obviously, eyes glued.
And that basically laid the entire groundwork and justification for invading Venezuela.
Yeah, in the most one-dimensional way, just similar to how this administration is doing.
Yeah.
It's not complex at all.
We're going to flatten it to a one-dimensional issue and then manufacture consent.
It's good guys and bad guys.
And if we're good guy, they bad guy.
We good guy day bad guy.
So we'll talk about that.
Plenty more.
But first, more, we do like to ask our guest.
What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Guys, I have two that I think really illustrate who I am in moderately embarrassing ways.
First one, chakra realignment exercises.
Because you know, you guys know.
how it is when your sacral's a little bit of out of balance.
Hell yeah, bro.
You haven't been doing your yoga as much because of the holidays and stuff.
You guys get it.
Hell yeah.
And then the second one is images of stacks of cash for my vision board.
Wait, you even added for my vision board?
No, no, no, that was for you guys for you guys for you guys for you guys for my vision board.
Yeah, yeah, I need the ones that have magic on them for vision boards.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's your problem.
That's not a vision board specific image you put on there.
But we have to support it, guys, because now I've exposed it to you and all the listeners
and stuff.
So I need everybody to really, I need you guys to believe, don't make fun of it.
This is called Manifesting.
Yes, thank you.
Everybody needs to look it up.
Thank you.
And speaking of 2026 and being the skateboard correspondent, my Grail T-shirt today, I found
that is on eBay, nobody buy it.
I'm not going to say what it is, but it's the exact amount of money I have on gift,
left over on gift cards.
If that isn't manifesto, wow.
I don't know what I was.
Well, may your chakras be aligned.
May your stacks of cash be not Googled, but actually physically manifesting themselves.
What is something you think is underrated?
You know, they say romance is dead, you guys.
And I agree because what is underrated is the thing that no one's doing anymore,
which is where when men would very romantically kiss women from like their hands all the way up to their biceps and back down.
Yeah, they don't like that.
anymore. No, consensually, we need to bring that back. Oh, you think the gals don't like it? I think
they're, I think they're like, where did that go? Yeah, no, you're talking Pepe LaPue style.
Oh, no. Yeah, you're talking Gomez Adams. Yeah, yeah, I'm talking Goose. Peak, Raul Julia.
Classic. Cartoonish. Yeah. Yeah. Is there anything more romantic than, yeah, rather than, yeah,
you're just like, I'm just going to kiss closer to the thing I ultimately want. Is that cool? I'm not going to
say it.
You start down here.
Yeah.
The neck miles.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, so many smooches.
That guy was averaging on average.
Dang, bro.
I just realized I'm going to have to tell Her Majesty, we got, we got work to do.
Yeah, you got to get those.
I haven't been loving you the right way.
Loving you.
Yeah.
I think I think you're right about that.
I think that's a good, you know, a good move that I'm going to try with my wife.
I mean, yeah, don't, you know, give me a little credit when your love life really explodes.
She did like I got chapstick all over clothes.
Yeah, she's going to, at first she's going to be like, what?
I hate this.
And then it's, she's, the animal lust between you will be undeniable.
Undeniable, yeah.
It's actually big, messy swirls of Vaseline around my mouth because I've got real dry lips.
Just wanted to be sure, babe.
I wanted every kiss to be pleasant.
Yeah.
What is something more that you think is overrated?
All right, look, this is not a hot take on this podcast,
but I have a reason for it specifically.
I'm saying AI.
Here's the thing.
Everybody's acting like AI is going to replace all artists.
I think the only thing it would replace is 90s shock rock videos like Marilyn Manson and stuff
because the only art it ever is able to create.
It's trying to make the most beautiful stuff it can.
And it's like, watch this baby transform into a rat with a snake body and human arms.
It's the only stuff
It creates this like pure nightmare
And I think that's because
Some part in us recognizes that
Something and something there does not have a soul
Yeah, yeah
For sure, for sure
It's I mean because like there are videos that are purely
Like I'll come across it on like Instagram or something
Where it's purely just some violent
Transformation of like a person on the street
Who's like a human then like a bloody blob
It turns of a dolphin and you're like
What the fuck?
It's so.
crazy. My friend, shout out to my buddy
Jeff. He was saying this, another, he heard
this thing, somebody's, what's up, Jeff?
Keep it him anonymous. But I,
he was like, a friend of mine was like, it's
like when the microwave came out, everybody thought it was going to
replace stoves, but it's just like a little tool.
Right. You know? Yeah. Yeah. And even
then, not even as you know, not as good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Microwave. Microwave
popcorn. So you can, everybody,
you can stop investing trillions
because I just, I just fucking
pile drives. A certain point we're going to
realize it's only good for like three things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Soup, popcorn, and pasta.
I think it does a pretty good job with pasta.
Yeah.
Let's take a quick break.
Come back and we'll talk about the news.
Hi, I'm Dr. Priyankawali.
And I'm Hurricane DeVolu.
It's a new year.
And on the podcast's Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.
Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be.
I like to sleep in late and sleep early.
Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed?
We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight.
You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and to start doing that.
We break down the topics you want to know more about.
Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health.
We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind,
side and out healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with
each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the
iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are you desperately hoping
for change in 2026, but feeling stuck? Just spinning your wheels and old routines and bad habits.
I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab, I'm going to look at the
science of getting, well, unstuck, unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even
unstuck inside your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these
ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy. We'll look at ways to reignite your sense of purpose,
rediscover your values, and get more creative. We'll also explore how to design a life that feels
more fulfilling. It's sort of like the game of life. I don't know if you ever played that game.
Oh my gosh, yes. You take the car along and you try and get money and you try and get degrees and you
I and get to the end where either you have a mansion or a ranch or a shack.
And once you get to retirement, you're done.
What about the whole path along the way?
So join me to get unstuck in 2026.
Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows.
You know, we always say New Year, New Me, but real change starts on the inside.
It starts with giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals.
Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of checking in on.
on the Black Effect Podcast Network.
And on my podcast, we talk
mental health, healing, growth
and everything you need to step into
your next season, whole
and empowered. New Year,
real you.
Listen to checking in with Michelle Williams
from the Black Effect Podcast Network
on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcast, or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Who would you call if the unthinkable
happened? I just fail
and started screaming.
If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way
I said through you got 22 times
The police, right?
But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help
is the one you're the most afraid of?
This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you.
I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable.
Detective Roger Goulopsy spent decades intimidating
and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City,
using his police badge to scare them into silence.
This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law
until we came together to take him down.
I told Roger Galuski, I said,
you're going to see my face till the day that you die.
Listen to the girlfriends, Untouchable,
on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast.
and we're back and we got to figure out now that now that it's been a clean changeover
and uh the the trouble administration came in an illegally kidnapped leader of
venezuela and his wife no outcry flawless flawless flawless no no notes
people are like so you you clearly have a successor lined up yes sir yeah right you thought about this
and what are we hearing what do we hear enough i mean the loudest voice is marco rubio but then people
are like he's kind of got his hands full with like all the regime change shit happening so maybe
we'll kick it down to teenage mutant ninja gerbils himself stephen miller who seems to love to be
the puppet master of human life.
So very charismatic.
So good choice of a leader for a democratically elected position.
But even then, that's not a, that's not even a thing that they can even really get behind.
It sounds the most actual, the most sort of consistent reporting you here is that they don't
know what they're doing at all.
So they basically, look, Jack, the dog caught the car again.
And there is no real strategy.
post Maduro kidnapping.
They're just telling me that the decision
he made because he thought that the guy dancing
was annoying wasn't fully thought
through. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
They just, and now, just to say things like,
well, now we're going to run it,
but Maduro's allies are still empowered.
They aren't bowing to Trump.
So what do you mean by quote unquote,
run a country, like remotely?
How do you do any of this?
It's just a sentiment.
You know what I mean?
It's like kind of run.
Yeah, you're just like,
you know, he's making up the guy,
We run it now because that's how easy it works.
It's like playing football manager.
You just signed with a new club now.
And now I run that one.
It's that easy.
Yeah, you sit in an office and you're kind of mean to people on the phone.
That's how you run.
That's how you run.
Right.
But no mention of how.
You request Diet Coke.
Yeah.
Right.
People bring it to it.
Again, for the complexity of an entire government, they're just saying we run it.
And then, like, most of the media is like, oh, okay.
So then we're going to run it.
But here's the thing.
One person that absolutely will not be running things is Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Maria Karina Machado.
So despite her streak of imperial bootlicking, you know, like she's always like, oh my God,
the U.S. is great.
Israel can do nothing wrong.
Please, like everything is fine.
I love it.
She did not impress Trump.
And I wonder why, you know, because she's down.
She said she's clearly down to do whatever the U.S. wants.
But, wait, it couldn't be the Nobel Peace Prize, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was the one that he was like kind of, kind of had his eye on.
Yeah, he was really into.
Trump has said about her, quote,
it'd be very tough for her to be the leader,
saying that she doesn't have the support
or the respect within the country.
This article goes on from the Washington Post,
quote, two people close to the White House said
that president's lack of interest in boosting Machado,
despite her recent efforts to flatter Trump,
stem from her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize,
an award the president has openly coveted.
Although Machado ultimately said she was dedicating the award to Trump,
her acceptance of the prize.
That's on real.
Yeah, yeah.
Her acceptance of the prize was,
quote, an ultimate sin, said one of the people, quote, if she had turned it down and said,
I can't accept it because it's Donald Trump's, she'd be the president of Venezuela today.
Oh, you could have been president of this mockery of a regime change.
That's being reported in the Washington Post, who are like basically captured.
Like, they knew about the attack before.
Well, yeah.
If you think, do you think that he thinks that he misheard it and he thinks it's the Nobel
Beef Prize and it's you get like 30 Big Macs maybe like why that's a really good question more yeah you know Nobel Feast Prize I'm just trying to figure out why he wants it right right right right he just didn't get him to heaven yeah there is dude he's he's knock knock knock knocking on here and he is absolutely I mean the amount of like mortality topics that pop into his mind is definitely he's been fundraising off of stuff like that he's like please get me to happen
And you're like, what the fuck?
So it's very...
He's going to build a golden elevator from the White House.
What's wild is like this Washington Post, like article where this comes from, it just says U.S. plan to quote run Venezuela clouded in confusion.
Yeah, no shit, obviously.
But like that line about Machado comes like so deep in the article when that's, that really illustrates how this entire the president's weird worldview due to his senility, which is like, you know, people say,
I'm jealous, but my kink is karma is how the chapel Roan said it.
And I agree.
Like, that's how he's, that's how he's overseeing the overthrow of a government and regime
change based on like his hurt ego.
And that is like, again, this is more, more and more evidence how unsurious and how
just God awful this whole thing is.
Just, yeah.
Yeah.
And it seems like she won the award for being such a good handpicked successor for
a CIA coup.
She was the head of the opposition party
who was like
got a lot of votes
and it just seems like
and his dedicated the
award to Donald Trump. That shit
is wild. I did not realize
how pathetic
the ass kisserry
was. Yeah. And when the
like Faustian bargain doesn't work,
that's got to feel a million times worse
when you're like, yeah, when you go
when you prostrate and humiliate yourself in front
everybody and they're still like, no, you don't get it.
I actually don't like her anymore.
Yeah, she's not cool.
Yeah.
You know, I want to say two things.
This is affecting real people, you know.
And I just think that's important to remember.
And also, Stephen Miller looks like E.T.
If he was pale.
Yeah.
He does.
Oh.
Like E.T.
mixed with Voldemort, I feel like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, man.
Be great.
Send him off on a little, little vacation, a little trip down there to just, I don't
Just be the governor, as they used to call it in that era of colonization, to be the governor of Venezuela or whatever the fuck.
He's got a good head on the show.
Of like Arco Chevronville or whatever they want to rename it.
It's just like, wow, because then along with that, right, it's on its surface, in illegal kidnapping of a nation's leader on the weirdest.
Like, it's actually like narco arms charges or bringing them up.
This is a law enforcement action.
That's like, because that's how they're trying to find the sort of like legal framework to make this all work.
We get all this like manufactured consent because everyone's like, this is, sounds absolutely just off the rails.
What are you talking about?
So intro, please come in, Benny Johnson.
My man.
Dude, the man who, when they had to do the federal siege of D.C., and everyone's like, why the fuck?
Why would you come here for any of this?
He gave us, obviously, this great bit of.
My infant nearly died in a drug fire after mass shootings.
as that's why the government has to come in my infant mine my infant now don't fact check any of that
because it will crumble under just the slightest bit of interest or investigation this is his new
thing now because i guess obviously this is so illegal and so unpopular and trump basically was
like coming out being like no more wars we got to stop wasting money on this crap it seems like
this will be unpopular with his yeah well yeah most are kind of falling in line uh sort of
expectedly. But Benny Johnson, I think he's really going for it because he's trying to connect
Venezuela to another popular MAGA grievance, which is the 2020 election.
Ladies and gentlemen, Smartmatic and Dominion voting systems were the voting systems being used
at this time and in these states. And all around the world, they are Venezuelan by design.
Well, cut it over to Maduro. They're Venezuelan by design.
Okay.
Huh?
Go on.
By systems and storage facilities and through their actual technology, these systems, I have on extremely good authority, can and do rig elections around the world.
Oh.
Now, how does this lead us to the arrest of Nicholas Maduro?
Yes.
How?
Nicolas Maduro knows where all the bodies are buried.
Venezuela is effectively just a proxy state that was being run by Russia and China and Iran.
They were running operations here against America using, yes, the election rigging technology, also using chemical warfare, this in the form of fentanyl, and biological warfare in the form of flooding our nation with third world criminal aliens.
He was going to say shit hole.
Mm-hmm.
She's a third world.
So, again, just, I don't know if you remember.
There were lawsuits from Dominion.
He was pretty airtight miles.
that one of the designers
of the
designers of the voting machine
was from Venezuela.
It's Venezuelan
in design and technology.
It's inextricably
Venezuelan all around.
But I'm sorry,
he knows or the bodies are buried.
So we're actually,
we're arresting him
because of his involvement
in election ringing
because that'd be interesting.
But also,
the Venezuela rigged the 2020 election
and then sat out
the 2024 election.
When the person who would
be rigging it. So they rigged the one when Trump was in office.
So that's, I always have trouble with their version of things where there is a vast
conspiracy by the most powerful people in the country while they're in power. Yeah.
And I'm shocked. I never heard this. You'd think Trump would be talking about this if he knew
that Venezuela was behind the
2020 election ring.
I feel like we were
heard this age is coming.
Miles, the storm is coming.
Okay, he can't divulge everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is 44 DHS.
We're looking at it now.
Truly, truly, truly.
So, yeah, right now,
they are really firing on all cylinders
to try and get people to be like,
to completely lose their critical thinking skills
and be like, what?
This is bad.
This sounds like a total reversal
on policy that you said,
happen although that's he's in his entire administration is that kind of thing but you know i mean we
should never be surprised when they attach through just bizarre imagination and leaps of logic attached
the worst things in the world to brown people that's it it's the same yeah fucking play over and
you know you know biological warfare when like brown people move here you're like what
yeah my white infant son and like dude also the fact using the word infant to describe
your own child is no who's like my human son it's very weird oh it's definitely a modifier to try
and make it more extreme nearly die yeah yeah infant son so bizarre dude darling bring the infant in
nobody's ever referred to their own child as an infant and where's the infant i'd like to apply
affection to our son yeah my infant nearly die where's my infant give me back my infant also
usually they don't refer to it as a drug fire because more that's not a thing
that's not really a thing that's ever been I mean I guess it is like I mean a meth lab
caught fire yeah yeah but meth lab fire again infant son drug fire you got to put the
it's the little modifiers I give a little bit more sauce and it's and it's and it's it the
subtext is always you see why I'm a victim here you get it poor you know Venezuela's
been so hard on us.
Oh, where we've been so victimized by Venezuela.
It's so wild how powerful they were and we didn't even realize it.
Yeah.
Crazy.
We'll get to that part because Krasinski was trying to warn us.
He's been warning us.
All those knowing looks who was shooting at us during the office as Jim.
Yeah.
He was trying to tell us something about Venezuela.
Zoomed on his eyes.
Pam spelled backwards map.
What is Venezuela on a map?
Map.
Thank you.
Yep.
He's always after Pam.
It's always after Pam
Sounds like
My grandfather describing the plot of the office
That James always after Pam, huh?
I guess
Always after Pam.
All right.
Well, we do, of course, want to check in
with the health of Donald Trump.
That was the story over the break
That people continue to speculate
About, you know, how's he doing?
Speculate.
What's that going on with his?
hand there.
Why can he seem to move right?
Yeah.
Why he keep falling asleep?
Yeah.
He is, uh, why is he, why does he keep having to go to the hospital and get full batteries
of medical tests like every couple weeks?
Hell yeah, dude.
Why does he so strong?
They're trying to figure out how is he so powerful.
Yeah.
Why do they, uh, give him cognitive exams like, uh, like, uh, that he's
acing every time he brushes his teeth.
Twice a day, they're hitting him with the, is your brain still working, a cognitive test?
And his explanation that he's created for himself is that they're giving it because they've never seen anyone do so good.
That's so sad.
That is like, anyways, these are all, this is all hater shit.
Okay, this is all haters shit about his health.
He's beating the accusations with a little R&R and a little maverick advice from his advice.
This is from an article in The Guardian.
Trump said he acted on the advice of his staff to slow his pace, including spending roughly two weeks at Moralago, aka the Winter White House, over Christmas and New Year.
They have also counseled him to try to keep his eyes open during public events.
What?
So he can listen to bullshit?
He's thinking he's formulating.
He's using his incredible cognitive concept.
If somebody brings that up again, they're fired.
I'm fucking thinking, I'm cooking.
I'm in the lab.
I'm in the fucking lab when my eyes are closed.
But this is like from a Wall Street Journal interview about his health where he just is like, yeah, they've been, they let me take two weeks off, which was really nice.
He sounds like Josh Faskin writing home and big.
They're really nice to me here.
They let me take two weeks off.
they also told me to try to keep my eyes open during public events like that doesn't reflect poorly on your ability to just like be awake another tip they said look more look more vital is what they said that looks that's a good one be more spry yeah the just that being counseled to try to keep your eyes open is so funny like counseled rather than being like dude keep your fucking eyes i mean no one's talking to him like that but i i imagine you got to
keep your fucking eyes open out there, dude.
Yeah.
I'm fucking serious, man.
This whole thing's going to come apart, okay?
You've got to keep your fucking eyes open.
Eyes open.
Eyes open.
Eyes open.
Eyes open.
Eyes open.
They love to, like, blame people rising to positions of power on DEI or whatever.
And like, the reality is this is how easy it is for this dude to become president of the laugh.
They're like, hey, man, can you just stay awake, please?
He's like, I don't think so, actually.
Well, you think about it.
They need the vessel of Donald Trump to be able to be able to.
to like magawash and get the support of people because Trump says it's happening.
The second Trump is no longer saying what these things are and it becomes another leader,
that's when shit's going to begin to wobble because he still commands enough attention
to be like, we need him. Look, because like I've said before, he's like the elderly, like the kid
who lives with his elderly grandpa who you go over to their house because you can get away with doing
whatever because he's up in his room watching TV all day and you can lie to his face.
What are you guys doing?
Oh, we're just building a car.
Oh, okay.
You're building a meth lab.
Okay.
And yeah, this helps for like, it's like Dave.
You know what I mean?
Where they're like, we got to have the vessel present to get all this other stuff done,
except it's not a comedy.
They have to be looking into a Dave situation.
They have to be looking to see if they can get somebody who looks enough like Donald Trump,
who is 71 and like still has their wits about them.
Dude, they're probably going to ship in a beloved mega actor John Voigt with a wig.
Yeah, this is Trump.
Yeah, people would believe they're like, but Voight is so good as Trump, people will buy it.
They're like, but they know it's John Voight.
Just fucking try it, man.
Transformational.
We've got our backs to the wall.
He's also, and this is giving a lot of people, concerns, we'll call them.
Because we all just want to make sure he's healthy and strong boy.
people are concerned about this revelation that he's taking way more aspirin than his doctors
won him to so this is this was always something that I found kind of interesting is that
like he's probably abusing Adderall but for most of the 80s and 90s he was just like
abusing Sudafed like he was taking over the counter Sudafed as his speed just for the like
a Fedron yeah yeah just to like you
use that as a speed, allegedly, but there's pretty good reporting that suggests that he
has been popin pseudopheds as like his way of like, instead of like cocaine or any pep
pills. He's like, you know how Elvis was like, I don't do street drugs, but I take like all the
prescription. Yeah. So like suitcases, hockey bags of prescription medication.
It was formulated in a German lab. It's not a drug. I feel like Trump is like one step first.
where he's like, well, they wouldn't be able to sell it over the counter if it wasn't safe.
And so in keeping with how he treats Sudafet, he's taking so much ass for it because he's like, I want my blood to be like water.
He said, quote, I want, quote, I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart.
I want nice, thin blood.
I mean, he doesn't listen to fucking anybody.
So it is kind of, we'll say, consistent.
to hear that he is that way with doctors as well.
And in his defense, he is in such terrible shape that his blood hurts.
So, yeah.
Oh, oh.
My blood hurts.
Make it smoother.
It's too thick.
It's too thick.
Thin it out.
This is also,
this is from CNN just talking about generally the use of aspirin.
Quote, aspirin used to be widely prescribed as a preventative for cardiovascular disease,
but that is shifted.
In 2019, medical experts advised against routine aspirin use unless a person has a heart
condition or other health risk, citing the heightened risk of internal bleeding.
When they do recommend, yeah, I can't see it.
Thin blood pouring all over the inside of my body.
Yeah.
When they do recommend preventative aspirin, doctors typically advise an 81 milligram dose.
Trump told the journal that he takes 325 milligram dose.
About four times as much.
Okay.
This is from another doctor talking about the use of aspirin, quote,
Typically speaking, we do not recommend the full dose aspirin.
The full dose aspirin has a lot more risk factors associated with it.
And for the most part, those are GI risk factors.
People who take full dose aspirin are more prone to having GI bleeding,
especially if they have ulcers and things like that.
And so internal bleeding would be associated with like easy bruising, right,
which is what we're kind of seeing with his hand,
like all the stuff where he's having to like wear loads of makeup on random spots on his hand,
where he's like, just shook three people's hands today
and damn it if my hands aren't covered in bruises.
But then remember if he used over the break,
it switched to his left hand.
Yeah.
And people were like, so what is it now?
Is it Uchi Wally or is it one mic?
Is it these handshakes or are you,
is it the circulation is dying.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Couldn't be circulation.
I've got the thinnest blood in Washington, D.C.
Yeah.
It's like tap water.
My shit is thinner than peak Kate Moss, fam.
Oh, he must have left Kate Moss.
They called that heroin she.
Up to a certain age.
She was, yeah.
All right.
That is a while.
Wait,
why are you saying that people were like doctors are wildly speculating on the internet?
Like there is,
there are people who have like created a cottage industry of being like, I'm a doctor.
This is what his health is looking like.
I have not checked their medical credentials.
Sure.
There is one who is suddenly gaining a lot of attention who's like,
Motherfugger's got three months tops.
He looks bad, showing all the signs that he's on his last legs.
I just, man, our next icon has me researching a lot about, like, death conspiracies and, like, when people react poorly to somebody's death.
And I can't imagine what is going to happen when he finally passes on, like, with his followers.
They're not going to.
to believe, like, he could, like, slip and fall off a building in front of everybody
while saying, whoops, into a microphone.
Whoops, it's me.
And there would be so many conspiracy theories before he hit the fucking ground, you know?
Like, it's wild.
So any, like, vague.
W-H-O-P-S, White House, oppression.
Yeah, there's a whole thing.
We got to.
He was trying to tell us.
He was trying to tell us.
They created conspiracy theories when they didn't kill him, when the, when the, when the
shot missed. Right, right.
Anyways. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Hi, I'm Dr. Priyankowali. And I'm Hurricane DeVolu.
It's a new year. And on the podcast's Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.
Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be.
I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed?
We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight.
You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that.
We break down the topics you want to know more about.
Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health.
We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy.
We human beings, all we want is connection.
We just want to connect with each other.
Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone.
Listen on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026, but feeling stuck?
Just spinning your wheels and old routines and bad habits.
I'm Dr. Lari Santos.
And in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab, I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your.
your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops
and just driving myself crazy. We'll look at ways to reignite your sense of purpose, rediscover your
values, and get more creative. We'll also explore how to design a life that feels more fulfilling.
It's sort of like the game of life. I don't know if you ever played that game. Oh my gosh, yes.
You take the car along and you try and get money, and you try and get degrees, and you try and get to
the end where either you have a mansion or a ranch or a shack. And once you get to retirement,
you're done. What about the whole path along the way? So join me to get unstuck in
26. Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows.
You know, we always say New Year, New Me, but real change starts on the inside. It starts with
giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals.
Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of checking in on the Black Effect Podcast Network.
And on my podcast, we talk mental health, healing, growth, and everything you need to step into your next season, whole and empowered.
New Year, Real You.
Listen to checking in with Michelle Williams from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Who would you call if the unthinkable happened?
I just fell and started screaming.
If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way.
I said through you shot 22 times.
The police, right?
But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help
is the one you're the most afraid of?
This dude is the devil.
He's a snake.
He'll hurt you.
I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you.
I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable.
Detective Roger Golubski spent decades intimidating
and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City,
using his police badge to scare them into silence.
This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law
until we came together to take him down.
I told Roger Galuski, I said,
you're going to see my face till the day that you die.
Listen to the girlfriends, Untouchable,
on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast.
and we're back and we're back and hey we're just talking prestige TV
over the over the break yeah my favorite i think everyone's favorite prestige tv shows
are all on amazon prime yeah yeah yeah yeah right yeah they made that billion dollar
lord of the rings thing the like three people made it all the way to the
end of. Oh, I fucking forgot.
That was even a thing.
I taped it on VHS.
That's how much I wrote. Oh, wow. Good, good, good, good.
I wanted to rewatch it.
And then buried the tapes in your backyard.
But another Amazon Prime prestige TV show that basically doesn't exist is John Krasinski
as Jack Ryan inheriting the role of Harrison Ford.
and I don't know I for 100% forgot that this show ever happened but I do remember this happening at the time that I think we covered it in our story about how John Krasinski is a fucking op who is just like openly stands the CIA right when he like played the role of Jack Ryan he did a bunch of interviews just being like basically recreating the Jack Nicholson scene from a few good men being like you want to
want them on that wall. You need them on that wall. So not long after the attack on Venezuela,
a clip from that show of John Krasinski addressing a classroom of students in the show.
It went viral in which he argues that the most major threat to the U.S. is not Russia. It's not North
Korea. Oh, you thought it was North Korea. That's cute. Oh, you thought they thought it was a
Winnie the fucking pooh.
It's 4th of July.
Venezuela.
So,
stupid.
He's like,
who do you take the biggest dangerous to the United States?
And they're all like,
Russia?
China?
You idiot.
North Korea.
Get your head in the game.
Children.
Fools.
All of you.
That's what the mainstream media wants you to believe.
And then he lists off a bunch of reasons why Venezuela is the main strategic
risk to the United States in the monologue. He says that it's a failed state that's within a 30-minute
range from the U.S. of next-gen nuclear missiles. Oh. Yeah. So that's a threat? Yeah, that's the
thing that is interesting. Yo, we can bomb them in 30 minutes. They're a threat. Do they have? Are they
armed with nuclear weapons? Also, failed state, how, are you going to mention how like crippling sanctions or
economic warfare being waged.
They've been crippled by an unsubled by an unsubal Maduro
surrogate, President Nicholas Reyes.
Oh, oh, still named Nicholas, though.
Not Maduro, Nicholas Reyes.
Okay, we...
For sure, what happened is like Trump fell asleep watching Fox News and then
accidentally woke up to this.
And because Fox News is indistinguishable from a mediocre action plot was like,
this is the, I guess this is a new, uh, uh, whatever,
whatever program where John Prasinski tells me what what politics are.
Right. Oh, my gosh.
He also says, and this for some reason makes them a threat, he says the country has the largest
oil reserves on the planet, which I didn't realize that's wild. Congratulations, Venezuela.
You've won an invasion. And also he says, and more gold deposits than all the countries in
Africa combined, which is not proven, but that is how colonial powers used to get.
people to invade
like places
in the Americas
they would be like
they've got more gold
there's gold
there's the damn streets
of gold
it's the city of gold
in there
Eldorado's got to be
in
all right
Europe now
Venezuela
all right
Europe put your
worst fucking people
on a boat
and send them over
now
right
that's wild
that that's among
his reasons
why they're a threat
you're saying
much good stuff
that we want
yeah exactly
you're like
yo she a threat
bro
you see her beautiful
hair, shit, bro.
You see that waist of hip ratio, fam,
and legs that don't quit.
Oh, she's trouble.
And you're like, what are you?
You're coveting your neighbor's wife right now.
What is this?
What are you talking about?
He then describes a fictional Venezuelan president who rose to power on a wave of nationalist
pride.
Like, that is the worst thing that can possibly happen and has crippled the national
economy by half.
By the way, we've been specific.
crippled the Venezuelan economy by making sure they're not allowed to do business anywhere.
No, no, no, Jack, it was it was Bernie Sanders and hip socialist hippie.
It was probably, all right, it was probably like mostly Bernie Sanders.
Yeah, now we're back on track. Now we're back on track. Now we're back on track. People have pointed out that in reality, intercontinental ballistic missiles launched from China or Russia at the U.S. would land with infant.
a 30 minute time frame
and those are countries that have
next gen
intercontinental
they got 5 gene nuclear missiles
yeah oh you guys
have LTE oh my god
the whole second season
is basically about battling Venezuela
and in the finale
Jack Ryan and a squad of CIA
operatives literally fly a helicopter
into the presidential palace
murder a bunch of guards
check check these are all
things that happened. And then just when
Jack Ryan is about to shoot the president
in the head, one of his fellow agents
convinces him not to do it because
they lack the authority.
Which is that whole of the time to start thinking
about authority. Is that right now?
Okay. Okay.
No, Jack. We don't,
it says, well, I told you, we don't have
the authority. Oh, damn it,
we don't. We have
the scene right here. Let him go.
No fucking way.
I told you we don't have the authority.
Ah, you win this round.
You win this round.
Stand down, Jack Ryan.
What the fuck?
This is so fucking disturbing.
Just like this all like this is the media always does this.
You know what I mean?
And especially in films because that's that's like the first point of attack for this kind of propaganda.
It's like you flatten an entire nation and its people into a one dimensional bad guy.
And, you know, and well, and then do you go with the sort of logic of, oh, well, the CIA says they're bad.
I guess I'm going to put out of my mind the millions of people that live there.
And how to fuck all to do with anything the government is doing it?
And the billions of dollars that the government and, you know, their business associates stand to make the same extremely wealthy power structure of people that is currently being protected by the withholding of the Epstein documents.
Yeah.
And beautiful, strong white Johns Krasinski comes in on a helicopter.
I can't wait till fucking next week when Trump's like, the Yakutomi building is under attack.
We got to send in.
All the National Guard.
Get me, McLean.
Get me McLean.
I need him.
That's just so wild the idea that it's like the whole idea with Jack Ryan is trying to
paint this like benevolent United States of like, man, I could have fucking topped your
ass right here.
But I answer to a higher power.
So I won't.
And I'm a good guy.
Even though I just came in here and marked half the fucking people in this building.
Don't fucking worry about me.
And I'm saying absolute lies on here.
You know who else?
played Jack Ryan and didn't
turn into like a CIA
show Harrison Ford. He played
he played Jack Ryan much better
and is just a pothead
with now that's how you play the CIA
that's how you do the CIA man
because he was so goofy
in like Fair and Present Danger
and uh, what's the other one
Patriot Games like where
he was just sort of like truly like an analyst
you know rather than like this badass
that was the whole point. Yeah yeah
he's like I'm mixed up in this crap
But here you are getting fucking
Zooka in Columbia.
I sit at a desk usually.
That's why when I try and throw a punch,
I fall over forward and my jacket flies up over my back.
Dang it.
I always think about that scene in clear and present danger
and he's running from the explosion.
So goofy.
Like when the suburban gets hit with a rocket and he's like,
and his sleeves all messed up.
As a kid, I couldn't shake that.
I'm like, bro, you look awkward as fuck.
Harrison Ford.
He's great.
We were talking about Leonardo DiCaprio and his tooth acting.
he's great at rumpled jacket acting
and Harrison Ford
you know he's always doing great work
with a nice rumpled jacket
yeah I need yeah you're I need
way more of these action stars on like a ton
of edibles all the time to mellow them out
and get look a little more frumpy and a little
more relatable you know what I mean
oh yeah
there's a great anecdote about Harrison Ford where
there was like one day
when he was on the set of one of the Indiana
Joneses or I think it was Indiana Jones
well maybe it was one of the star warses but he had to go to set and he had run out of rolling
papers and so he like and like he couldn't do he couldn't do his job high uh or not high like
that was not an option so he like pulled up to the limo that was like waiting to take him to set
with like a saucepan with a lid on it and then he like got in and like lifted the lid and just
all the smoke dillow out of it.
And he just lit the weed on fire in a saucepan.
It was just taking massive, like, goblet.
It's like if in Star Wars, he used one of the lightsabers to, like, light a bong.
Yeah.
Right, right, right.
It's like one of those car, one of those car, like, 70s car cigarette lighters.
Yeah.
Right.
Just touch the hot tip end to it.
Yeah.
There's just, I mean, the listeners aren't going to be able to see it, but this is just,
that part where like the suburban gets hit by a rocket and it's it's peak harrison forward not being like
get out of there harrison port oh here comes get your man's out of there come on oh oh no it's like
he was trying to hold his sleeve or something he does this move and i'm like bro yeah but you know what
that's that taught me as a kid the cia is not fucking cool yeah no and i don't need them to be
i don't need any of these people ever to be cool ever we don't need to be cool ever we don't need
the assassins of the empire
to be cool things.
Because you're not.
You're not.
Guess what?
You're in power.
That's not cool.
You get to be in power.
That's enough.
You don't also get to be fucking cool.
That's for a cool.
You know, it's cool.
Lighten a fucking bong with a lightsaber.
That's cool.
Work on that.
Work on that shit.
The Jack Ryan,
John Cresensky version
claimed in the credits of the CIA
has not approved or endorsed
the content of the show.
Even though the production clearly
collaborated with
agency. They were allowed to film
at the actual CIA
headquarters, which
is a telltale sign.
It's like, you know, top gun wasn't getting those
fucking aircraft carriers if they had a
subversive message. No.
Yeah. And they got to, I mean,
CIA headquarters, nobody knows what the fuck that
looks like. You could easily recreate that.
But they were like, no, sir, we would like to
film there, sir. What do you think of our script, sir?
Yeah. Yeah. Very good. Yes.
Thank you. They had nothing to do
with this because obviously
filming at the CIA headquarters
it's like open to anyone
like you shoot an independent film in there dude
they don't even charge you anything
like it's super super super super cool
yeah they have a nice black box
theater in there

And there at the bottom, you will find the footnotes.
Which is where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode.
We also link off to a song that we think you might enjoy.
Hey, Miles, is there a song that you think people might be doing?
Oh, yeah, your old millennial uncle just heard what the youth are listening to.
and I kind of like it.
I talked about it.
This was my overrated
when I wrongly said
that music conspiracy theories
were like not as great
as they were in my age
and we just said out
I'm from the worst era
ever of humanity.
But there's this rapper from Liverpool
named S.D. Kid who people thought
was Timothy Shalameh.
It's not Timothy Shalame.
It's a guy from Liverpool.
We just don't know who he is exactly.
I'm still reserving judgment.
Yeah.
The track is called for Rob.
And for me, it's like one of those just earworm tracks because his accent is like,
I'm for sipping, handy to sipping on babin.
And you're like bourbon, but he said babin.
I mean, it's a babin.
I got four lads in the jamming.
Okay.
I just love the accent.
And the beat is pretty fucking heavy.
So this is four raws by S-D-K-K-I-D.
All right.
We will link off to that in the footnotes.
