It ends bad for him. However, from a narrative perspective, the most necessary and distinguishable of the apothecary. Who would the other one be? Peter? Nobody knows shit. Nobody knows shit about the other ones except Judas. Oh, you know, Matthew was on some shit.

My dad would, but like most people, yeah, Judas is the only one because he was, you know, betrayed him and also was messy. Did it with a little kiss. Yeah. All right. Here's how I'm going to do it. They're like, no, no, no, you can just like go up and tap them on the shoulder. No, better idea. I'm going to give him a big wet kiss.

hey, don't fuck up the manatees with your boats and shit. Like when you see a manatee in shallow water, just feeding, shit is churning down there. Those fuckers are just going to town it's crazy what is that just a manatee feeding on grass under I like Sean manatee Sean manatee one of my favorites mm-hmm that's got it there has to have been some bad internet cartoon and I'm Sean Manatee. Anyways, our ideas are 10 years too late always.

Congratulations. You've won a new iPod. Congratulations. You've won a new iPod. There was the big game-winning shot of the weekend in the NCAA tournament was Maryland,

somebody with the last name Queen. I was like, oh man, if the New York Post was only just a little bit gayer, they would do Yaz Queen. A little less homophobic. Yeah. A little less homophobic. Exactly.

But I don't think they did it. It was right there for them. That's where the Sun in England is good. They are so horny for sports puns on their sports page. It's like they don't mind. They'll go anywhere. They don't care. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Real, real, real, some stuff in real poor taste, but we love it anyway. We do love it.

Hey, speaking of things we love miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the best podcasts hosts doing it anywhere. My old friend from the crack day is a Jeopardy champion, the host of the wonderful podcast, secretly incredibly fascinating. It's Alex Schmid! Thank you for having me. I'm being a titan. Eat Schmidt and die.

Yes. A.K. Don't like my driving? Die 1-800-EAT-SCHMIDT. Yep. Is my car in the frame? My car's in the frame. Yeah, yeah, sorry.

Yeah, sorry. I saw your bumper sticker. How's it going, man? Good. That's great to be here. Yeah. I didn't know it's manatee day or spinach day or anything. I feel like every day for a manatee is spinach day.

So that's good. Do they get to eat spinach? I bet they would fucking love some spinach. They would. They don't get to have it. They don't get to have it. They don't get to have it. They don't. Not enough anymore.

They don't deserve it. Alex, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about on today's episode. We're going to look at this new. So obviously we've been talking about, we've been enjoying the LeBron James music videos,

music video tributes. Well, Elon Musk has his own now. It's not even based on a fun song. It's an original song, I think. Oh yeah, by AI. It sucks. It sucks shit. It's really bad. So we're going to check it out because I think you guys are going to enjoy it and love it.

You better. We'll talk about the fallout from that group chat. We'll talk about the fallout from that group chat. Uh, we'll talk about, uh, the morning routine guy. We'll check back in with the morning routine guy. He's an Ashton Hall fitness coach coach. He coaches fitness coaches. No, just call him a grifter.

That's one of these people are fitness coach coach. That's what all these fucking people are. No, no, fitness coach, coach. Anyways, he's had a quick rise to the top of American celebrity and is now comparing himself to Jesus. So I just wanted to take a look at Alex. Have you watched the morning routine video? No, I haven't. Oh, my friend.

Oh, anybody comparing themselves to Jesus in this Lenten season. Extra shout out, you know, that's the time that really proves. Thank you. You're a believer. My dream blunt rotation, if you will. Yes. For the video episode, people, you got to tune in. I got a great tee on.

And with Easter on 420 I'm just saying this fucking shirt it's hitting baby that is why it is on 420 Easter's on 420 occasionally the planets do align he has risen and put it in the air man nobody says that anymore I'm sure. Also 23andMe is going bankrupt and selling everybody's DNA probably. All of that, plenty more. But first, Alex Schmidt, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Did you say 23andMe is going bankrupt? Yeah. That's the next thing I need to search. They have my DNA.

Oh, don't worry. Hang out. Hang out. We'll get to that. You came on on the wrong episode. I'm sorry. I'm very distracted by that. Oh, yeah.

We'll tell you what to do. We got all the tips here. They're not going to do anything reckless with your DNA. They are going to be selling all their assets. It's like, wait, what are you, what do you think? We think you are assets. Yeah. It's not, it's not, it's not office furniture that they're like, have you seen the office furniture?

Right. I know it's your fucking DNA. It's covered in DNA. It's disgusting. Yeah. I, uh, I donated blood recently. My grandma Schmidt used to love to donate blood. So the last thing I was searching was like, where to do it.

Do that each like St. Patrick's time because she was Irish Catholic. And so yeah, did that, it was good. Nice, you found a place? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, knocked it out. It was great. You give them some blood.

Even though you've been doing intravenous drugs regularly for the last six months? Don't tell them that. Okay. All good. Sorry. I didn't mean to make it hot. That was always wild. I remember in high school. Do they still ask that? I'm sure they do.

Have you done intravenous drugs or had anal sex? Weren't those the two? A lot of stuff like that. Yeah. Because I also- What do you know about drugs? What do you mean? I'm gay, monogamous and straight. And I also just don't like pass out. Like I'm pretty tall and big.

So I can't handle it. So I do feel like I should give blood because I'm not in one of the groups that either passes out or is the many kinds of person they don't. Like if you've gotten a tattoo in the last three months, you can't don't make blood. Yeah. Like stuff like that. Tattoos, man.

They, I feel like this is just like a, like whatever the generation before boomer is, like they just came up with this rubric and yeah, the silent generation. They're just like, all right, they can't be gay. Uh, heroin addicts, communists, tattoos. And you're not a communist. Are you? What does that have to do with nothing? Hey, look at these two photos and tell me which one you like.

This one's some fuck named Stalin and this one's George Washington. Which one do you like? All right. You pass the test. Yeah. You can get blood. Yeah. Silent generation is the Nixon people, right?

Like that makes sense. Yeah. That, that would have it. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. And, and Biden also, also our last president. And half of senators. For sure. It's fine.

He's still ruling this country. What is something you think is underrated? For some reason this morning I was thinking about Daffy Duck. Daffy Duck's great. That's a really load-bearing character for the whole Looney Tunes thing. He's, he really fleshes out the bugs bunny universe. He's just really, people like think he's good, but he's not top of people's mind. He's amazing.

Yeah. Daffy duck. Yeah. What's he, is he just like the fall guy? Is this to make bugs bunny look good? Cause he's Daffy. Is that, is Daffy a slur or not a slur, but is that like, is that a pejorative one of the more fun?

Insults that can be yeah, they're like you're Daffy. It's like yeah, thanks kind of but fuck like yeah All right, should I fuck you up for saying it's like confuses you? Yeah Yeah, silly my like that's the next thing in my search history. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's a little silly I'm a little daffy. I don't mind saying it. I'll come out and say it. What are daffy duck's main things? He's kind of, you can't really understand what he's saying

and he, when you get the shot. You're thinking a Donald Duck, you can't understand. That motherfucker's like. Yeah, that's Donald Duck. Yes, I know what Donald Duck sounds like. Wait, okay. That's Donald. Yeah. I know. I'm yes. I know what Donald duck sounds like. Wait, is Daffy pretty easy to understand?

He speaks clearly. Daffy speaking. Yeah. There's a slight speech impediment, but otherwise, yeah. Okay. Oh, you do have like a, kind of like a lateral lisp sort of thing. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. He's like, I refuse to entertain anybody with that speech impediment, but go ahead. If you must. Wow. I refuse to entertain anybody with that speech impediment, but go ahead if you must. Wow. Strong take out of the game. He's just so self-centered in a way that makes him pair with Bugs Bunny so well. Because otherwise Bugs is paired with Elmer who's hunting him or in love with him.

Then a lot of one-off opponents, like the opera singer and the Spanish bull and stuff. Those are all good, but Daffy like makes Bugs able to be a jerk, but still not as big of a jerk as Daffy, you know? Yeah, it's great. Getting that beak blown around. I just always remember that. Yeah, that's the other main.

That's the main thing I know is that when he gets shot in the face with the shotgun, his beak just like flies around his head like a party hat. Yeah, like it's just, you know, was not. Yeah. And then he keeps talking about it. Not a great lesson in physiology for me. I was like, is that just how it works? You can just kind of fucking rip that thing around. Your whole shit twisted back.

Like it's a golfing visor. Shout out to Daffy Duck. Is so Daffy Duck is Warner Brothers, right? Didn't, isn't there a Warner Brothers cartoon in theaters right now? Yeah, I haven't gotten to see it yet. I think it's mainly Daffy and Porky on the poster. Wow. So Daffy is having his star moment right now. My favorite food.

But the box office apparently not doing so good. So, truly underrated. Either is the economy. So there might be something there too about that. I blame Dathy Duck. Dude, we're fucking so close to the White House saying some shit like that. They're like, honestly, all this can be related to feet. I'm sorry, rather the whatever the fuck duck feet are called of Dathy Duck.

What are duck feet called? Just what are they? Web, little, just web. Yeah. I feel like Alex would know immediately what the specific name for a duck's foot is. And you're humiliating me. Yeah.

Duck's foot name science? Ducks have palmate feet. Palmate, oh, okay. But I think they're just called feet. Yeah, we're just going to call them shit. Sweet. Yeah. Well, when those Palma day is how I would say my day. Alex, what's up?

These things overrated Jake Tapper. Come on, man. Now you're talking about my favorite news guy. Now you're chatting shit. What do guy. Now you're chatting shit. What do you mean? This guy fucking rules. He tells it like it isn't. Why is Jake Tapper?

I'll hear you out, Judas. He's kissing me on both cheeks now. All right. There's a website called 1-900-Hotdog that I write a column for once a month. And I did one recently about Jake Tapper because it turns out he wrote like the single worst blog post I've ever read.

Oh no. It's a blog post called Gangbanging in Media Land that he wrote for salon.com like 20 years ago. It was like, he's like hot shit young reporter kind of guy. Is that the idea? It's like, he's like hot shit, young reporter kind of guy. Is that, is that the idea? The it's like a comedy piece, but the premise is he's going to come up with like rap nicknames for everyone at the New York times on the new Republic in order to do like humor about those magazines arguing about the rationale

for the war in Iraq. And it's like, if you just Google gang banging and media, like he says, like, Oh, the New York times is hoeing out on the new Republic and like a bunch of terrible stuff doesn't know how to even. Wow. He's he's yeah. His like opening paragraph is comparing it to the beef between the source and double XL magazine.

For people who don't know, those are like seven magazines. Yes. From from the from the 90s and then double XL in the late 90s. But like that's rival hip hop magazines. The source of double X are locked in an increasingly ugly feud that has reared its head in advertising boycotts, rap records and a nasty over the top gangsta editorial slams against one another. And then goes on to editorial slams. OK, Jake, what up shorty? Yeah.

As Snoop Kitty her B hatch. I can't. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Alex. We should. Yeah.

Holla at me. And he did this like a couple months before he was ABC news is talking out at the white house and like, like, I think he's just basically some kind of actor or something. Like he's not, I don't know what journalistic help he's ever given anyone in his entire life, but people just like trust his face on TV Yeah, yeah, he's just got a bland blandly handsome face Yeah And a lot of those people are like that so I way overrated that that seat should go to somebody who like do anything for anyone

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh my god episode of celebrity jeopard you ever seen the episode of Celebrity Jeopardy where Wolf Blitzer goes up against Andy Richter? Yeah. Wolf Blitzer ends up in negative territory and it just becomes increasingly clear like he is just a completely empty brain, like empty headed dipshit. Yeah. Yeah. And Andy Richter is smart as hell.

I cannot stop reading this fucking book. It's like, he should go. I look, I'm not for prisons at all. But if, but this is what prisons is for. It's for dumb shit like this Jake Tapper. True that. Affirmed executive editor Snoop Kitty or kicking it old school in DuPont circle. Oh, right.

Colin Zio been acting janky. One day it's all inspectors, you and disarm it, then bust a CK and disarm it is just an option dis am. Oh, Miles isn't riffing. He's reading the book. I know I couldn't, I couldn't. It's impossible. He uses the word N I Z Z A at one point.

Oh, where's yeah. And damn. OK. And people do like weird stuff online when they're young, but he was I did the Googling. He's 33 years old when he wrote that and had been in professional media for like several years. He is just a Dartmouth legacy who fell into a seat. That's it. Oh, God. Love that. Don't need to respect him.

Yeah. Keep that on the DL, you Dartmouth legacy. And Alex, what's something really incredibly fascinating that you've been covering or researching of late? This is a special category just for you. What we like to ask you when you come on. I appreciate it. The one that just came out is about salt. It's me and Katie Golden, of course, and then we had Jason Partridge join us too. But it's the entire story of salt.

I grew up next to the former estate of the founder of Morton Salt. Like the rich guy, he turned it into an arboretum so you could go look at the trees and stuff. But it turns out he revolutionized the salt business a few ways in a row. And like salt grains looked the fancy way where they're all different until the late 1800s. And then he made people really happy by making the uniform tiny white grains of salt. People couldn't get enough of it. People were like, thank fuck.

It's all a little dust now rather than flakes I have to contend with in my hands. Wow. It's funny how we come full circle. Tired of all these, look at me, look at me, little wannabe salt flakes that think they're so unique. I think they might be communists. And they shouldn't give blood. They should.

The salt. Exactly. Bad for you. Too much salt and blood. Thanks for asking. I love topics like that where it seems like it'll be ordinary, but there's just a bunch of amazing stuff about salt. I was actually just listening to the Blind Boy podcast.

You've ever heard that show? No, I haven't. What is it? He was just talking about salt potentially being one of the first drivers of civilization. So maybe you guys covered similar stuff. Yeah. The idea that it could preserve meat and therefore you didn't have to like follow

the animals around because you could just kill the animal and like, have it preserved for a couple seasons nearby. A couple seasons. That's how long they get that shit going. Yeah. No, man. That dry age, dry aged salted beef. I know that.

I don't think they were thinking about it like that. They're like, Ooh, just hang this shit. Snap into a slim gym. Maybe. Right. Right. It's, it's a fun, the jerky built civilization. Like I know it's really soft, but like.

I like that episode, yeah, yeah. Our God, Slim Jim. That's right. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and check out a couple cool videos. We'll be right back. ["Slim Jim Theme"] Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you?

Why is my cat not here? And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real? You will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new iHeart Original Podcast, Science Stuff. Join me, Jorge Cham, as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to

about animals, space, our brains, and our bodies. Questions like, can you survive being cryogenically frozen? This is experimental. This means never work for you. What's a quantum computer? It's not just a faster computer. It performs in a fundamentally different way. Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you can go swimming?

It's not really a safety issue. It's more of a comfort issue. We'll talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy to understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to science stuff on the iHeart Video app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare.

Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet

and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville.

I was like, oh my god. It was shocking. It was very shocking. I'm Jen Swan. I'm a journalist in Los Angeles and I've spent the past few years investigating the story behind the viral posts and the extraordinary events that followed. I started investing my time to get her justice. They put out something on social media so I get calls in the middle of the night all the time. It's like how do you think you're gonna get away with something like this? Like

you killed somebody. It's the story of how think you're gonna get away with something like this? Like you killed somebody.

It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into Prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms and on season three of my podcast Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens

were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did prohibitions' war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to Snafu on the iHeartRadio I heart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts And we're back we're back and All right, this is the this is the video episode if you're just listening to it That's fine, too, but you can go check out on Friday. We will drop this is the video episode. If you're just listening to it, that's fine too, but you can go check out on Friday. We will drop this as a video episode.

You'll get to see the videos that we're talking about. See the dream blood rotation T. Most importantly, you'll see miles is dream blood rotation T, which is just the last supper painting with the words dream blood rotation underneath it. Fucking art. Shout out John Wolf. Okay. The homie for making this shirt.

The original artist behind The Last Supper. I feel like the guys on the end don't get very much. You know what I mean? Like it's a long table. Oh yeah, yeah. They're so thirsty. Like at the end, they're like, what's he saying?

What's Jesus saying? They're like, shut up fool. So they did come with just one blunt and they were like, this is cashed. And they all looked to Jesus and he was like, all right, give me three more blunt, give me those breadsticks. Watch this. Why did you have to put it in his mouth? It's kind of weird.

He doesn't like that. He could just kind of shazam that shit. Oh, he's dramatic. That's a whole part of it. Oh, I's dramatic. There you go. That's a whole part of it. You know, oh, I'm sorry. These people, he knew we didn't have enough fish and bread for that entire crowd. Yeah. You know, you know, he was playing coy as fuck during that thing. He's like, watch this shit. He's like, he's like, this is the first one I'm doing on the mount. So this is kind of like a big sermon for me.

And I've been saving my best trick for this. Yep. Dramatic. Watch this dad, Ronnie put up 17 against the bucks. He is in many ways the brawny of, uh, of history. Absolutely. That's I can only look at things through Lakers terms. I do wonder if other deities were like, oh my God, everybody's

worshiping just because he's, because he's God's kid. He just put his son in that position. Honestly, I feel a little bit sorry for him. Zeus is out here, he's like, y'all not checking my kids? I'm doing shit out here too. Y'all are whatever. Y'all just like that new shit because it's new. Well, speaking of people being worshiped as God,

we do have a new, it feels like a Christian rock or a Christian country song. But instead of being about God and Jesus, it's about Elon Musk. Yeah. This is something that's getting a lot of attention on the Internet and a lot of people are like, this is a troll, this isn't real. But let's hear it with our own ears

and we'll decide and also tell you the facts on the other side. So for listeners, she's standing in the back of a Cybertruck. Cars that drive so fast, made rockets build to blast. Not to last. Not to last. Then you feel unmasked. Uh-huh. That must have been a note where they were last, yeah. Uh huh.

That must have been a note where they were like, his rockers blow up. So we should share. Okay. Hell yeah. Oh, eliminated my woke pain. Like my back pain. Here, can you pause for a second? Uh, yes Yes, I can but we were just getting into the praise part That's what that's where we praise that's where you get a little praise up top to the big man up top Elon Musk

Because he is hovering above us all so I do love rock. It was definitely initially Rockets that last and she was like fuck, his rockets actually blow up immediately. So we'll go with rockets that blast. Also, she's talks about how fast his cars are. She's singing from the back of and inside of one of his cars, a cyber truck, and like, it's never moved. No, no, no, no. He's like stationary or, and then I think it does start moving in a little bit, but it's going like two miles.

High haters. It's about to go full self drive on your ass. Just like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like stationary or and then I think it does start moving in a little bit, but it's going like two miles high haters It's about to go full self-drive on your ass Look it's moving Starland themes with laser dream Yo He's got a master master plan for our lives This is when people start going this is this satire

What this is this is like kind of way to on the nose, but let's allow a little bit more to cook Wow, so they're showing him dance like shit. And making kids. She's dancing like shit. To mankind. Alive. Let's occupy car Mars. And Mars. And making kids to keep man, making kids to make him big.

Again, the lowest bar, you know? Yeah. White men get praised for doing. For ejaculating. Making kids. You had jacked off into not even a person into a tube. And then somebody delivered it to somebody. Making kids to save mankind.

What can I say, man? Fucking hero, bro. Yeah. I didn't realize we were miles. You and I are fucking here. There's a part I want to get to because she's outside of the car. And then you just see her creepy husband's Reflection like in the window and it just feels very much like that's when I'm like, yeah I'm wondering whose idea this was and who put up who to do this. Where is it now? Come on?

I know I can catch you somewhere in that reflection Her t-shirt is the Doge father too. Yeah the Doge father. Yeah. Yeah, and so the godfather is don't father At one point in the video T-shirt is the Dogefather too. Yeah. The Dogefather. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Instead of Godfather, it's Dogefather. At one point in the video, she talks about Boring saved the day, the Boring company, which is like his thing where he built tunnels for cars to drive in one at a time. Oh, here it is. To replace subways. I'm just so confused at what specific day that was that they saved. Yeah.

I mean, again, because, spoiler alert, it's AI. It's just saying shit. This is the part though, just so funny, like look, the proud husband in the reflection here. Who's that right there with the hat? Hey, babe. Oh, yeah. I see a satire. There you go. Hey, buddy.

Yeah, that was good. Now, again, a lot of people are like, this is satire. Um, nope, sorry, it isn't. Just one look at her Twitter bio, all in Tesla humor, okay, wife, homeschool mom, Tesla and comedy lover, that's a lot to unpack. Oh, hell yeah. And you can tell she loves comedy.

I'm just a stay at home mom dreaming about being a standup comedian one day when my kids are grown. Oh my God. I mean, look, I'm not here to shit on anybody's dreams, but let's be real here. I need everybody to shut the fuck up about this video and just let her continue on whatever path she's on to eventually being a standup comedian, because I need to see that shit. Yeah, her husband's a...

Because a lot of people are like, this is fake. There's no way that this feels so satirical. I'm like, no, because, you know, sometimes you can instantly tell something Israel because it is so fucked up and cringy. And you're like, oh, fuck, like even a comedic genius couldn't actually pull off the execution like this. And, you know, it makes sense because, you know, Elon's been crying about his every how everyone hates him and the stock price is going down.

So this feels like the exact thing. Some Tesla stand with a parasocial relationship with Elon Musk is like, will this help you feel better? Elon, I praise you. Yeah. One part she goes one more kid, one more brand. Yeah. He's launching rockets with just one hand. So like, I don't know, it just, it just made me like picture this woman and her husband just like when they find out Elon Musk

has had another kid being like, cheers, honey. Like there's so- Oh, right, right, right. ... just celebrating every kid, every time he has a kid. He's got those rockets. One more kid. Yay. He also can't write the lyric launching rockets with just one hands and put it on the internet. After talking about somebody who has kids by jacking off into a cup, you

can't then be like, and he's launching rockets with the other hand, I guess. There it goes. Yeah. There's also, she's like, he ended woke pain, but then there cuts to a video of him crying. So I'm like, I'm wondering what is that? Is that him? I mean, if I'm giving, I think I'm doing way too much work for them to give meaning to this video, but maybe it's him talking about how he lost his child to the woke mind virus.

Okay. Yeah. I don't know. That's me. That's me doing a lot of work for them. He suffered for us. That's actually what I meant. He suffered for us, Miles. Yeah. That's what they're going to say. That's exactly what that clip was about. That wasn't just like some random, you know, him crying. That was, yeah, there's the woke mind virus and he's fighting it. So.

It's just like you do have, I mean, the footage of Elon Musk in this is like him crying in an interview, him like failing to give people high fives, him dancing atrociously. Yeah, a lot of dancing. A lot of dancing. It's hard to describe the blow-by-blow of anything Elon Musk has done in a way where it's impressive because he just buys up or is the figurehead of various brands. Yeah. Sure. You can't do the lyrical journey of like, because he didn't found Tesla, he didn't do any of the things.

He just shows up. Yeah. He took over Twitter's reign. He took over Tesla's reign. He took over PayPal's reign. He took over SpaceX's reign. It took over PayPal's reign, who took over SpaceX's reign. It's not like he conceived these ideas. His dad gave him a bunch of jewels.

His dad impregnated his stepdaughter. Is that a thing? Errol, uh-oh. Yeah, a lot of things they can talk about. Yeah, it's a lot. You can hear the sweatiness of the difficulty of putting this piece of propaganda together. Whereas, again, just comparing it to my king, not there. I'll take my king over there is the LeBron song.

Oh, God. Of, I'm talking about the man on the Lakers. Yep. Yep. I'm asking you to say his name, LeBron James. Uh, hold on. We should, you know, keep going. Keep going. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no As I go to my living room. That's my favorite part of all the LeBron songs is like usually it's people who have

gambled on one money on it. Right. They're inspired on it. Right. They're inspired by that. Yeah. Gotta go to your living room. This is the thing, I mean, yeah. To my living room. Yeah, don't, don't describe yourself to any part of the sports fandom experience.

As I read articles on the toilet, on sports blogs that I like. As I sweat over my fantasy pics. It's like, okay. The other thing, all of this does really, I think we've talked about this a lot. It's just we've really, even in this show, we reach out for religion, even if it is to mock the Savior, Jesus Christ. We've swapped them out.

Luckily, I have not swapped out the religion for celebrity. I still fuck with religion because it's infinitely funnier to me than celebrity culture is. So it's great. Yeah. Yeah. Swish. You don't think Jesus could have led Cleveland to a championship?

Come on. Think again, asshole. In many ways he did. But I know who couldn't and that's Elon Musk. I don't think Elon Musk could have done that. No, no, no. It is disturbing. It's weird. I think I think Elon Musk could have done that. Nope, nope, nope. It is disturbing. It's weird. I think I blame the Cybertruck too.

I feel like people who have regular other models of Tesla, that could be from before a lot of this, it's fine. But the people with Cybertruck specifically, they simply put too much money into Elon Musk and now they have to go for it. They are carbon dated at this point. Yeah. You know, you're like, Oh, this, let me cut this tree and count the swastikas in it.

Yeah. You've had this for a minute. Um, also I was reading an article on CNN about the stock price going down again. Credit to them. They did use the word Nazi in the article. CNN. Yeah. Salute.

Uh, were they talking about things other people were saying? Or they were like, they, they, they couched it more in his support for the AFD in the German elections. And they're like, okay, supports, but they're like, you support not whatever you need to get their CNN. I'm impressed. I mean, I don't know, when you say all this stuff was swastika spray painted on their cars, I think, well, whatever, maybe it's. Might have something to do with his back. I will say though. What do you think it is?

What do you think it is that's making people less likely to buy Teslas? Jake Tapper. And like the sales seem to like plummet around the time that he did that like funny wave of his heart, his heart going out to people. The funny double heart wave. Yeah., his heart going out to people. That's a classic double heart wave. That's a classic double heart wave.

Yeah. Jake Tapper is going to be, and he's like, it's probably the swastizles for shizzles according to me. You wouldn't actually believe that. No, no, no, no, no. But I guess- Some are saying- Yeah, some are saying the rumors, the scuttlebutt.

But I guess Elon is probably thanking the ketamine gods for the distraction that has come with the Signal Gate drama. Signal Gate, is that what we're calling it? That's what a lot of people are calling it. The group chat gate. I feel like we should just call it group chat gate. Group chat gate. Because that's what it is.

You're just sitting there watching them be like fucking pound emoji. That's the one that really did it for me. They're all like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like,'re just sitting there watching them be like, fucking pound emoji. That's the one that really did it for me. Oh, they're like right now, as we speak, they're testifying on the hill where

everyone's like, what the fuck is wrong with you idiots? Um, and it looks like kids at the fucking like principals office. Like, they're just like, Oh, I don't know. I don't think it was, there was nothing classified in there. And they're like, then show us the fucking conversation. If it's not, they're like, well, it's under he's like, they're like, you can't have it both ways. So what the fuck is it?

And then the head of the CIA, they really were he was getting pressed. And they're like, would you say that an open conversation where there is disagreement between the president and vice president over an attack would be of interest to foreign intelligence agencies? And he's like, yeah. We'll see what happens. But I mean, again, if y'all haven't, I know I'm not everybody is keeping up with all of the horseshit that happens

constantly, but to sum it up quickly, the National Security Cabinet members, top National Security Cabinet members accidentally added the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic to their group chat on fucking Signal, where they discussed war plans and the execution of an attack against the Houthis in Yemen. Yes, they are this stupid and sloppy, but we knew that from looking at Pete Hegg's set. So it's not only embarrassing, but also illegal, I guess, technically is where we're at now with shit like this. It's like, well, it's technically illegal. So then it

is then do something. And for a group of people that used to attack Democrats for email servers and bleaching documents or whatever the fuck this one has to sting a little bit, but we're getting all kinds of defenses about how this is totally not a scandal that rises to the level of having resignations and an utter failure for national security. Pete Hegseth just straight up denied it ever happened. He's like, right. He said that the journalist was like untrustworthy, which he is by the way, but like not in the

way that Pete Hegseth has suggested. Well, yeah, but it's also like, okay, let's say he's like, he's a real deceiver, huckster kind of guy. It's like, if that's the case, then what are you accusing him of here? That he made up? Made it up? That these are all doctor PDFs that he uploaded to the internet, claiming it was a signal chat for only the National Security Council spokesperson to confirm that it

was a real like it's all so sloppy. Also, the White House spokesperson, Caroline Levitt, she's also just doing Jeffrey Goldberg is well known for his sensationalist spin. This is what I understand sensational. What you added him to a fucking group chat and he merely observed what happened. I don't know what's sensational beyond the actual screencaps he provided that are the genuine article. He's like, this is Caroline Levitt saying there were no war

plans discussed, no classified material was sent to the thread. He even withheld some screenshots because like, this looks like some sensitive ass. Too sensitive. Yeah. Very, I mean, it was like the, the screen caps that we have are them, so it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, This looks like some sensitive ass shit. Too sensitive. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Very. I mean, it was like the, the screen caps that we have

are them saying, so we should attack them, right? Or later. Now or later. And then you got JDMans. Those aren't technically warplanes. Yeah. Well, this is the thing on the Hill, they're asking like, did you discuss weapons systems?

And like, I don't know, maybe they're, it's like really like it's giving big Roman energy from succession as many people post to that meme. Fuck off, whatever. He's like, I don't know, it's just fucking whatever. It's like Yemeni fucking warplanes or some shit. I don't know, just fuck them, you know? I also thought you meant the collapse

of the Roman Empire at the end there, which also was- Double intended that as well. That's a double and tender, as the French say. But here's Jesse Waters giving his version too, because right now they are really, really trying to spin this because again, their viewers were meant to think that like secrets mattered, but obviously that is a sliding scale.

But here's Jesse Waters just explaining this one away. Did you ever try to start a group text? You're adding people and you accidentally add the wrong person. All of a sudden your Aunt Mary knows all your raunchy plans for the bachelor party. Well, that kind of happened today with the Trump administration.

Innocent, simple enough. They were planning the equivalent of a bachelor party, bombing and killing a bunch of people in Yemen. Bombing people in Yemen, which is already not a place we need to be unleashing more untold hell on. But okay, yes, go. Okay, so Aunt Mary found out

that you guys were gonna have Skrippers at the bachelor party. That's a little bit like what happened. Mike Walsh was putting together a group chat on Signal, an encrypted app with the Secretary of Defense, the VP and a bunch of other national security officials to collaborate on whether to strike Iranian proxies in Yemen who keep firing missiles and shutting down shipping. Well, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added a reporter to the

group text and not a good reporter. Jeffrey Goldberg from the Atlantic, one of the biggest folks artists around. Well, he heard some things he probably shouldn't have, but could have been a wee bit of a security breach. But it's not like could have been a wee bit of a very George. I may have committed light treason. Right.

What are you fucking saying? Even a wee bit of a security breach. Yeah. December 7th, 1941, a day that will be a wee bit of a security breach. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A wee bit of infamy. It might live on in a wee bit of infamy. A wee bit of infamy.

Yeah. A wee bit of infamy. That's wild though, that Fox News has done this much of a 180 on the Iraq war because I guess when they're calling him a hoax artist, the hoax that he was involved with was justifying the Iraq war and going along for the WMDs. Is that what Jeffrey, is that what Jesse Waters? As much as they wouldn't be like, this guy's a hoaxer, it's like, y'all, this is putting you in a tough spot

because his hoaxes benefit American imperialism. That's what the thing is. He's a consent manufacturing machine. He had the biggest boner for the war in Iraq. And again, and very recently, manufacturing more consent for arming Israel in their quest to unleash constant terror on Palestinians. He's always just there to keep the war machine going.

He even wrote an article like a few years ago. He's like, whoops, I got Iraq wrong. Like really bad. Whoopsie. Sorry. It was like kind of the tone of it. You've never made a mistake. And you've never added aunt Mary to the group chat when you're sending dick pics.

And got a million civilians killed or something, right? Oh God. But here's the funny thing. The way he ends this, I just want to say that they still stay on brand when they try and sort of explain away why this isn't much of an L for the Trump campaign. But it's not like they homebrewed a server and then bleached it or- That's Hillary Clinton. ... kept classified documents in their their garage next to their Corvette

I'm sure it won't happen again. So that's it They I'm sure it won't happen again is like a parent of a child who keeps setting the kindergarten on fire Being like I think we're good here then. Yeah, Jesus. It's so we're good here. Then yeah, Jesus, it's so very, very, very, very, very not good. And the other thing is to there's like other right wing influencers who are doing their best also to explain this. There's this guy named Joey Manarino and I'm not, you can't, you can't convince me that this guy, that guy, this guy, I'm pretty sure is a John, which is John

Mulaney doing a bit of a MAGA right winger. Keep that in mind when you hear this guy. He's trying to be like, this is actually all fine. And if you just, guys, this is exactly how it's gonna go down. I actually don't know what he is saying here. Well, let's try and find out together. Take it away, Joey Manarino. This is called leaking to the press

without leaking to the press. This is how you do it. This is how leaking to the press without leaking to the press. This is how you do it. This is how the Trump camp has been famous for this for years. Remember the stories about Trump being his own publicist. How is this not jumbling and leaking information about himself that he wanted out there? This is the modern day version of that. If you think for one second, Pete Hegseth or JD, these are the top people of the country. These are the most intelligent and capable

that are in the government. If you think for one second, they'd be having these chats over signal and then be stupid enough to accidentally let a opposition journalist into the chat. accidentally let a opposition journalist into the chat. Man, you really fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. You probably also believe that all the stuff you hear in the news about Trump is real. It just goes on basically like, if you, and then describes literally what,

if you think they're so stupid that they added this person. You probably believe in gravity. Yeah, vaccines and shit. And that rain is caused by the clouds. Right, right. With having water in it. Just not true. What a dipshit, Miles.

Yeah, he started that clip off even harder by saying people were the R-word, if they believed that this was. Yeah, he did. If they thought this was fathomable by the smartest guy who doesn't wash his hands after taking a piss, these are the top people in the whole thing. Okay.

So that's an official title. Like just deconstructing that he said, this is what the Trump camp does. This is what he used to do. Again, he's talking about the private citizen thing. What was his name? John Smith. What was his fake name that he used to do? Barron?

Oh, John Barron. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His fake persona that he would do on phone calls. And then named his son that. Right, but then what is the point of this? To what end? Yeah, what is this accomplishing that's like John Barron? Like, I don't know if you heard,

but Donald Trump is actually in town making with the blah, blah, blah. I get that version of trying to stir up some- And by the way, the lies that he told as John Barron were like, I heard he's the best lay in all of New York City about Donald Trump. Like it wasn't subtle stuff. It was not 5D chess. He was like, yeah, hey, John Barron here. Just calling in to let you know that Donald Trump has a 12-inch penis a head sex with, with God, buddy, a shiffer and God I'm out by this would be the equivalent of like, Hey, this is

John Baron. I wanted to let you know that the NYPD is planning a big drug sting in the Bronx. Later, it's going to involve about 50 units converging on this block on East Tremont. Like, what? And he's accidentally calling the drug dealer. Yeah. If you, if you think that a guy like that, if you think the dumbest,

if you think the dumbest fucking people you've ever seen enter office are dumb, fucking it up as predict as predictably as that's house, then you are a rube and you are the mark actually. Sorry. I've been John Mullane. Yeah. I do want to see a video of the Nick Kroll and that wig saying the same thing. Exactly. Too much tuna fish shit.

It took them less than 24 hours to do every lie, which is what they do, but they really follow every scandal with, it never happens, okay, it did happen, it didn't matter. Okay, it did happen and it's good now. Like they just do every tactic immediately all at once. So they didn't. And you will hear all of those lies paired it back by the mega base.

They'll be like, I heard it didn't happen. And I heard that that guy made it up. And I also heard that they did it on purpose. I think this is also, I think this is also a test for Democrats because. Like this is, this is actually a scandal that they're, they know how to be outraged about because they clearly don't know how to do it when someone just comes in with brute force and fucks everything up because that's too out of the norm. Uh, operational security, snafu thing that neatly falls into,

we have protocols and procedures, this is national security, you need to do it this way and now we can be big mad about this. Yeah. And they're doing it, but I'm curious if they keep this energy up because they'll probably just be like, I mean, they said it's, there's nothing going on here. So I guess it is what it is. But here I'll play this clip from Senator Mark Warner because he's definitely like, I was just surprised.

It was like, Oh, the Democrats are around again. But again, very narrowly. Look who woke up. Oh, hey, sleepy head. Oh, hey, where were you when they're fucking dismantling the government dip shit? But now you're like, oh, operational security. I know how to say something about this. So here's Mark Warner.

Just just asking Tulsi Gabbard the hard questions. Senator, I don't want to get into this. You're not going to be willing to. So you're not denying that. We would answer my question, man. You are not TG on this group chat. I'm not going to get into the specifics of the delivery. So you refuse to acknowledge whether you are on this group chat? Senator, I'm not going to get into this. Why are you going to get into the specifics? Is this, is it because it's all classified?

Because this is currently under review by the national security because it's all classified. If it's not classified, share the text now. As previously classified or non classified information on this. I can. Then he goes to John Ratcliffe, the head of this. Yeah. He goes, is the John Ratcliffe on there? Is that you? And he's like, yeah.

Okay. But again, this is like the most. If I say yes, can I go home and watch wrestling? Yes. Yeah. Come on. Say it was you. Yeah.

Say it was you, Radcliffe. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Now, guess what?

No Royal Rumble, asshole. I guess maybe. You're in jail for the rest of your life. You guys run everything. Nice making a murder reference from, is that eight years ago? That was 2015 going into 2016, I remember. Was it real? Yeah, that was like the big, because that was the beginning of the end.

That was like, oh wow, cool, this new thing on Netflix everyone's talking about. And then like, David Bowie's dead? What's going on? Trump? Huh? And I do blame Trump for David Bowie dying. All right. Well, let's take a quick break. And when we come back, I want to, uh, share with you guys, cause Alex, it sounds like you haven't seen this morning routine. Uh, I want to share with you a morning routine that will ensure that you never die. Uh, this will, this will keep you young and healthy forever.

We'll be right back. cognitive controls. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new iHeart original podcast, Science Stuff. Join me, Jorge Cham, as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to about animals, space, our brains, and our bodies. Questions like, can you survive being cryogenically frozen? This is experimental. This means never work for you. What's a quantum computer?

It's not just a faster computer. It performs in a fundamentally different way. Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you can go swimming? It's not really a safety issue. It's more of a comfort issue. We'll talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy-to-understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to science stuff on the iHeart Video app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked.

Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about technology that's moving faster than the law, and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide.

I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levertown, a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts, Bloomberg, and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levertown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine you're scrolling through TikTok. You come across a video of a teenage girl and then a photo of the person suspected of killing her. And I was like, what? Like, it was him? I was like, oh my God. It was shocking. It was very shocking.

I'm Jen Swan. I'm a journalist in Los Angeles, and I've spent the past few years investigating the story behind the viral posts and the extraordinary events that followed. I started investing my time to get her justice. They put out something on social media, so I'd get calls in the middle of the night all the time.

It's like, how do you think you're gonna get away with something like this? Like, you killed somebody. It's the story of how and why a group of teenagers turn to social media to help track down their friend's killer. This is their story. This is my friend Daisy.

Listen to My Friend Daisy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into Prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms and on season three of my podcast Snafu,

we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did prohibitions war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

To find out, listen and subscribe to Snafu on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And yeah, it is exciting. Show me Jesus. Show me Jesus. So here he is. There's a new, move over Jesus.

There's a new leader in town who's showing people. The way. How to hit their fitness goals. Yeah. And also how to 10X your business through their mentorship, through Instagram, which you can pay for. And I can help you grow your business to explosive new ways. Look, I'm not going to say that I'm going to be a good person, but I'm going to be

a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person.

I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to be a good person. I'm going to 10 X your business through their mentorship, through Instagram, which you can pay for. And I can help you grow your business to explosive new ways. Look, I'm not going to sit here and say he's not had some influence on my morning routine. There are some slight differences, but we're, so we're going to go through his morning routine. And so Ashton Hall is a fitness coach, coach, he coaches other fitness coaches on how to fitness coach. And he, so he lives in a haunted black mirror episode, uh, where he like wakes up with cameras focused on him and people just standing around waiting to bring him bottles of Saratoga spring water and bowls of Saratoga, Saratoga spring water

with ice in them and plates of breakfast. Uh, he, he is very polite. He is a Christian man. He's very polite. He says, thank you. Although he never looks at them. Exactly. Never, never once looks at them, but he will say thank you to them.

But I just want to, just want to go through, because this is in fact, how you are supposed to live your life. So you wake up every morning. You're waking up at 3 52 a.m. Like 3 52. Yeah. So for me a little bit later. So 3 52 a.m.

OK. Wakes up 3 52 a.m. Takes a piece of hostage tape off his mouth. Rubs his hands for one minute I think because then we're at 3 53. I like to wake up. So he just does one hostage tape around the mouth. I like to mummy that whole shit up, just have tape around my whole head,

just eye holes, but mainly just have my whole shit covered in tape. Near suffocation. Like a mummy. Yeah. I'm really hung up on it. Is 352 a numerology thing I don't know about or something? No. Like four o'clock exists, you know what I mean? No, yeah. Or 345 or? No, is 352 like a numerology thing I don't know about or something like what like like four o'clock exists. You know, no, no. Yeah. Yeah. No, just three. Okay. Here's the

thing. Mark Wahlberg wakes up at 4am and you know what happened? You know what? When Mark Wahlberg is waking up at 4am, you know what this guy's doing? He's been up for eight minutes. Yeah, he's been up for eight minutes rubbing his mitts. He already has the tape off his fucking mouth. Bro, waiting for you. I've been for you, pal. All right, we'll go on. Oh wow, look whose hands are already warmed up. Interesting. All right, and usual brushes his teeth. That's for a minute, 3.54.

Kinda does normal brushing teeth, except he uses bottled water to rinse out. He's not using that tap shit. 4 a.m., he's on the balcony. Push-ups. He does push-ups that sound like a little squeaky rubber duck. For about 16 minutes. Then he just takes like five minutes to look off into the middle distance without his shirt on. Just looking ripped as shit. All of this very similar to what I do.

So there was a 20-minute gap between when he took a long look just off his balcony wondering, do I answer the call of the void or do I not today? And then ends up saying no, because then it's 438. just off his balcony wondering, do I answer the call of the void or do I not today? Then ends up saying no, because then it's 438. He's in his very minimalist, I don't know what the evil persons layer, and he's reading the Bible, I think.

Right. It looks like- For two minutes, because now it's 440. He swept that shit to the side. Like an Apple Store in hell, looks like what the motif is here. Now he's doing some notes. He's going to write down some thoughts. That's right.

He's going to watch some praise. Just stand up. All right. He's going to dunk his face in some ice water. Alex, I don't know. Is that similar to what you're doing at this point in the morning? Oh yeah, I did it way earlier, but sure. Okay.

This whole sequence of stopping watching his Jesus videos to when he puts his clothes on an ice bath is 30 minutes. I don't know what is taking so long. Well, he does have to jack off at some point. Oh. And so he's jacking off in between. Anytime there's a 15-minute cut, he's off jacking. That's what I have to assume based on my morning routine.

I do, okay, I do this step a little bit different where I just lower my face into a cream pie. You know, cream pie myself. This is stupid. Just pieing yourself. Oh, wow. Lower my face into a cream pie. Are you doing the Mrs. Doubt firework?

And you go, hello. Exactly. That's what I, and that's how I shave. I go away with the cream pie on my face. With a meringue. Yeah, with a meringue base. Okay. Putting his shorts on. 601, 602, 603. Always facing a camera. By the way, and this is one thing I have taken from him. I'm always facing a camera as I'm doing all of these things. face forward expressionless. Yeah. He then puts a fanny pack on, goes to his gym, runs like a fucking mad man at the sun. 730. He's out of there.

I like that he has the socks on that aren't connected to his feet. They're actually called compression sleeves, Jack. They're for high-performance athletes. I think you would know a little bit about that, man. You know what I mean? Okay. You know how important compression is to recover, dude. They also have those that are called socks and they connect all the way down to your feet. It's pretty sick. You should check them out. They're like kind of a tech technological innovation that I have where you can just have high socks that go over your calves. Oh, see the thing I do is I take

a pair of socks and I cut the foot part off and then I take the long part and I wear that on my calf and then I wear a new brand new sock on my foot. This guy, this guy is fucking high performance though. Alright, so 736. 736 and? He's jumping. Get ready. 740 hits the water. 740 hits the water.

736 takes off, 740 hits the water. This is the Zapruder film right here, dude. 736 up. 736, who. 740 hits the water. This is the Zapruder film right here, dude. 736 up. 736. Then so up. And now so he is going he by the way, he did belly flop, even though like the takeoff was like this guy was about to fucking do it. Like doing that. I know. On his belly.

But that's because he's been hovering up there for four minutes and they use some editing to cut it out. Did you see the person who took this still frame and put him on the twin towers? And it said, it says 7.36 AM. It was so fucked up. Anyway. I, it was nice of them to cut out the hour and a half that it took all of his servants to fill this pool up with Saratoga spring water.

He's in there. Quick swim. Now he's in the jacuzzi. In the hot tub. Oh, he said, look, he said, gracias. Oh, he mixed it up. He went gracias. Bilingual. Now he's taking a shower. It's 8.35. This guy's eating a banana, rubbing the peel on his face. Rub the peel on the face. And this is how you know he's serious. So, okay, again, a small difference. I do eat a banana, but then I take the pie crust from earlier and I rub that on the face. So it gives me a nice sheen.

It's an exfoliant actually, the little bit. Nice buttery sheen. Yeah, it's actually exfoliates my skin, the crumbs. Wash face. Flush face. OK, someone on her way. This guy's got a problem. This might be ice dunks before fucking 10 AM. He sits at his desk with a computer in front of him.

Someone brings in a bowl of ice water, 906. Let's dunk it up, bro. So looking at it, bro, we got to go ahead and get in at least 10,000. That snippet of grinding right there? Yeah. So looking at it, bro, we got to get that at least 10,000. We got to get into at least 10,000. That's snippet of grinding right there. Yeah. So looking at it, bro, we gotta get that at least 10,000. We gotta get into at least 10,000.

Oh shit. Get into at least 10,000. Okay. Hell yeah. Then I like, the one time you see another person, it's a woman doing labor for him, because again, he's painting a lifestyle, beating his eggs.

He's presumably gonna be very grateful to her. The man's eating. The ASMR, they need to stop. Didn't look at her. No look, no eye contact. Look how much hot honey he just put on the fucking food. He was drenching that shit in hot honey. Hot honey.

Anyway, that's just like, Alex, what do you think about that? I really wanna be in the boardroom of Saratoga Springs Water and be like, okay, so what have we been spending our ad budget on? Getting me down, it's on what? Just one video. One guy. Just one video. One guy.

Just one video of a guy. Yep, yep. But it has been watched by every single human on earth at this point. Yeah. It has gone mega viral and he knows what, you know, he's taking it in stride, I would say, in many ways. Sure, sure.

By, so you know who else seemed merely human to people? You know, who else did the, what they thought was impossible grinding before everybody else? I think, you know, who else could like jump onto water, but not go in the water right away because he was walking on that shit. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's hear it.

Let's, let's let Ashton Hall speak on this because his new found note I mean he has a ton of followers, but this is him talking about you know what it's like for him I'm here to address the nonsense so many videos are Duplicates of my videos. So this is the creators that are sick and tired of their work being copy Listen to me. Okay, you're either going to be a leader or a follower and it's okay to be either one But you have to choose if you're going to be a leader people are going to follow you. What is the issue? I realized that God has me here to lead So that's what I'm gonna do when I see somebody following the way I should be high now

I'm not perfect by any means I used to get pissed off. Oh the running videos ASMR workouts I'm not gonna act like I'm just a block anybody who was doing anything similar to me. That was me That's blocking them screw them. How could they copy my work? I was running in a video What's wrong with this dude? Why do the same thing as me? What is up? Then I realized bro, like people follow Jesus why because he was great as a Christian man Why are you angry if they're following you matter Matter of fact, if you're doing something good with good intentions, this should be a great thing. Wow, bro.

Wow. All right. I feel like we've been taking through the logic there. So he made this video. He's supposed to be a teacher, like a coach of coaches. He makes this video. People start doing the thing that he's telling them that they should do in his video, teaching you how to have a good morning routine. And he starts blocking every one of them.

You're like, fuck you. Fuck you, man. You can't run being off of me. You can't have poor lifting form on camera like that. That's my thing. That's my shit. That's my thing. That's my shit. That's my shit. But now he has realized, and I'm glad that all the views on his Saratoga Springwater banana peel face wash video

have taught him, has showed him the light that he is actually our generation's Jesus. He's a Christ figure. Yeah. You know who else had followers, Alex? You know who else had followers? This? Do you know who else had followers? This podcast. And then he blocked all 12 of them, right?

He was like, get a life. Stop saying what I say. That's right. Yeah, bro. Sick of Judas ripping my shit off. That would be great if there were scenes in the New Testament where Jesus kept getting furious at them for like biting his shit. Right, right, right. He's like, God, you guys are obsessed with me. Stop it. Hey, I was. Yeah, right, right. He's like, we got you guys are obsessed with me.

Stop it. Hey, I was. Yeah. Hey, I saw your letter to the Ephesians. That's my idea. Let me know my ideas of the letter. Hey, Matthew, man, let me holler at you, bro. What the fuck is all this shit you were writing the Romans, bro, that I'm reading? This is like this is you're just ripping my shit off, dog. You don't want really sad.

Really? It's sad. Remember, remember what I did? Just remember what happened? I'm not going to say, remember, just saying, remember you, you only brought one blunt. Yeah, I'm just saying, you want another one. Uh, Alex Schmidt, what a pleasure having you. Uh, I'm glad we could have you on because I have been worried about your morning routine and I think, I think you've think you've probably now seen the light and know how to go forth into your mornings.

Some of the world's dumbest assholes included me in a group chat that seems to be about which players are quote, too chunky to be the best player on a finals team. I didn't think it could be real.

This saxophone player from Japan named Tomoaki Baba. He like went to Berkeley and is like, you know, so you know, he has like proper jazz chops and then just started kind of getting like out there with his saxophone playing. And I just feel like

we're in this very interesting period where like, we're wondering like, we need like instruments, remember people who are musicians, like let's use these like live instruments. That's such an old head take. But especially with jazz, like having its own evolution. I think this is just kind of really interesting to see what this like sort of jazz trained sax players kind of doing and the music they make. So it's called What Is and it's by the artist Tomoaki Baba. If you think this song isn't going to slap, these are some of the top people in the whole thing. So yeah.
