Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Jif Peanut Trender.
Starting point is 00:03:00 It's peanut butter, but trending. I am Jack, and I'm thrilled to be joined by special guest co-host Polly V. Good. Now, you know, I'm not afraid to say it. I heart radio. You know what I mean? That means so much to us. You're so welcome. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:20 But do you I heart podcast network? No, unfortunately, I do not you I heart podcast network? No, unfortunately, I do not I heart podcast network poly V. It's been so wonderful having you here It is the most wonderful time of the year My phone is blowing up right now. I've never felt less alone in a bad way now. I've never felt less alone in a bad way. So many people want to talk to me with spam texts about the election. A spam text not about the election. It feels like they were like, you know what? They're going to be getting so much spam texts about the election that we can do spam texts. Just being like, Hey, how's everything been with you lately? I got two in a row with heart emojis like that. Just double tap.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Okay. Slept for Kamala. Thank you. Yeah. I think they are trying to fuck me into voting for Kamala Harris. We're going to check back in with Trump's sundowning brainstorming tour. Uh, he, are you saying his brain is a sundown town? Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:04:27 He would love every town to be a sundown town and he is sundowning, which is what happens to people suffering from dementia where they get mean and incoherent towards the end of the day. He had a Univision town hall where just continued to ramble incoherently, whether it be his answer to whether he still thinks climate change is a hoax. And I'm just going to read it. Just so I always feel that with the climate and I have been a great, I have been an environmentalist. I built many things.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I owned a rail right next door. And we did that in a very environment. I got awards, environmental awards for the way I built it for the water, the way I use the water, the sand, the mixing of the sand and the water. What could he possibly be talking about right there? Anyways, 400 more words, exactly this coherent into the water coming up one eighth of an inch over 300 years the ocean is going to rise and you know nobody knows if that's true or not but they're worried about the ocean just killing it you know so yes very cool okay
Starting point is 00:05:38 I think when he was talking about his use of water he's talking about how he does wash his legs you know and he uses the sand to exfoliate. He's not like the other quite, you know what I mean? Have you seen him stand on a slightly sloped surface? I feel like that evens him out because usually he's already leaning. It's all perspective and angle. There's no way he's washing his legs. Did you ever do those math problems in geometry where it's like a ladder is leaning against a wall? Yeah, exactly. Like Trump standing and you have to find the angle of his own
Starting point is 00:06:10 incline. Yes. He needs like a thing going from his forehead to the ground to like make him. Yeah. Just like a little bit more stable. He also, I think this was the first time, so this was like a town hall where people, like there was one guy who was just like, I don't think you're good. I registered Republican and like, I think you're, you did bad at your job, convinced me otherwise. And it was, it was just like, he just kind of read him for filth. People enjoyed that. He also called January 6th the day of love and just, you know, he said, went
Starting point is 00:06:48 down to the capital for me. Like I slept in, you know, reframing it as Twitter with my friends, reframing it as Woodstock is like went down to the Capitol. I said peacefully and patriotically, nothing done wrong at all. Nothing done wrong. And action was taken strong action. Ashley, Babbit was killed. Nobody was killed.
Starting point is 00:07:09 It's great because at that moment where he goes, Ashley, Babbit was killed. Nobody was killed. They're like panning the audience and this woman gives this like, wait, and then he says, there was no guns down there. We didn't have guns. The others had guns, but we didn't have guns. And it's just wild that he's openly identifying with the January 6th rioters. Like he's doing the we thing that like sports fans do.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And I always say, in theory, it's annoying when people are like talking about their favorite sports team and say we, but I fucking do that. Like, I can't help. I can't stop myself. There's something so, and I think that's, it's interesting because like, it's just so tempting to loop yourself in because we're so starved for being part of something bigger than ourselves that we're just like, yeah, we. I think it's very human. I do it with anything I'm a fan of. Like, I'm like, we, you know, are Finland. We have healthcare, you know, we wrote a best
Starting point is 00:08:07 seller this week. We, the Royal we, it's funny that hit the thing. He can't stop from identifying himself with our, the January 6th rioters. So that was that. There was also a Trump town hall event for an exclusively a women audience on Tuesday. It ended up airing Monday morning. Oh my God, I'm worried for them. And he just like kicked off speaking about migrants
Starting point is 00:08:33 and declared himself the father of IVF. Is there a creepier way to discuss that? I know, father. What the fuck? I know, it's so gross. What are you invading sperm banks and replacing samples? You freak. He's trying to end IVF by like making it so gross that nobody know what he wants to do.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah, it could be like he made the association in my mind that it's Trump's sperm. So I don't love that. Also said he wants to somehow ban all trans athletes from competing in all sports. So just like they're not like even in backyard sports. He also just went on some verbal diarrhea nonsense about Elon Musk's rocket that they literally had to just like cut him off. It was aimed at making him look presidential and appealing to women. And it probably worked for his audience because they just went wild for him, because it was like only people who were part of like official Republican
Starting point is 00:09:34 women groups were allowed to attend. So the heavily vetted audience for Fox. So I'm guessing his like trans fans weren't allowed to attend. I'm assuming that's what's fucked up. Let Trump's trans fans weren't allowed to attend. I'm assuming. That's what's fucked up. Uh, let Trump's trans fans attend. Yeah. Being a, being a Maga supporter is technically a sport, you know, you got your off, it's very, there's a huge offensive line that's going to come out.
Starting point is 00:09:58 That's right. Some of the best O lines in terms of just lines that offend everybody. Yeah, coming out of his mouth. But yeah, I don't know. I had like a moment as you know, on yesterday's trending, Miles was playing some of his favorite little sound bites from the past couple of days where he was like, blurrgh. He was trying to say big, but he was like, blurrgh, World War II, blurr blurr and just seemed to be
Starting point is 00:10:27 drifting on. It really did feel a lot like the moment that we had with Joe Biden, where we like, this person is like his brain is dissolving. Yeah, it feels like if they were regular people and not just like the scum of the earth, like you would feel bad for them being like forced to do this, you know? Right. Like he is a horrible person and subjecting us to this. And like if he had a loving family that he cared about, he would be at home with them instead of fucking parading around his bigotry in town halls.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah, it just it gave me a moment where I was like daydreaming about like what happens if Trump loses, like not if Kamala wins, because you know, who the fuck knows what's going to happen if Kamala wins. But her platform has not been the best in many respects. But just in terms of like this movement of open fascism, because it seems like this would be the end for him. Right. Like, that's what we thought with Biden, like with Biden winning. Like, even if it's not him, I know that Florida, what's his face? Tried to do Santa's, Santa's right.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Tried to recreate the charisma and just couldn't. But if there is like a less likeable Ted Cruz, like that's the thing I was thinking about is like in terms of the full blown fascists at this point, like DeSantis turns out to be a less likeable Ted Cruz. J.D. Vance won that V.P. debate, according to like most mainstream media outlets and his likeability has somehow like Gone way down since then and he was already the least likable Yeah, so like I don't know I I do think that there's not thus far that we have seen an individual that can recreate the
Starting point is 00:12:18 Charisma or whatever you want to call it that Trump has but I also think it would be naive of us to think that it would like That won't appear somehow. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe the ideology is still there. The hatred is still there. They just haven't been able to capture it in a bottle like the way that Trump did. Yeah. Yeah. I do think they would be I do think they would be fucked at least for a little while because I think they would be still at least for a little while, because I think they would be still stuck on some DeSantis, JD Vance stuff, and Nikki Haley might end up having a moment.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Oh yeah. But I guess the thing is, I hadn't really thought about what a Republican party after Trump looks like since the last couple years when it just became increasingly clear he was going to either win or come within an inch of just like, you know, taking the country into like full blown fascism and just seeing his brain kind of you can't go half bash.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Yeah, we've gone many varieties of fashion. It turns out that fascism comes in a number of wonderful colors. But I just got a good mouth feel. I can't emphasize enough how fucked we are if he wins. But if he loses, I think they're pretty fucked, too, which is just Republicans. Yeah, the Republicans and like the mega movement, because he really seems out of his like he's always seemed out of his mind, but he seems like to be falling apart. It's here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I mean, there's also been those moments in the past where he seemed like he was deteriorating and it was just because he's been awake for three weeks in a row on Adderall. And then he needs to like sleep again and then he gets a second one. So again, maybe this is all just me being hopeful. I also wonder like who were the big playmakers that are coming up because Mitch McConnell's like hands are falling off slowly and like lazy Graham. I don't know what's happening with him. So like in terms of like party turn turnover,
Starting point is 00:14:27 I don't know who the clear leaders are for like the next generation of like the GOP. Yeah. And who would be as effectively insidious as like Mitch McConnell. Yeah. But I feel like you can always replace Mitch McConnell with a different like insidious like, you know, just because like there was no charisma there to begin with. He was no, but he was working behind the scenes in like a really effective way. Yeah. And like, I don't know, like, who would be able to do that, because right now, it seems
Starting point is 00:14:58 like because Trump has been so forward facing, it does feel like a lot of people are attempting to usurp that position and be in front of the camera and try to become celebrities rather than like work underneath to kind of like obviously everybody knows Mitch McConnell, but he's not out there as much as like Ted Cruz is just saying wild shit than doing the same after, you know? Right. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. Check in with the Kamala campaign and peanut butter.
Starting point is 00:15:30 We'll be right back. I'm Cheryl Swoops, WNBA champ, three time Olympian and basketball hall of famer. I'm a mom and I'm a woman. I'm Tariq I'm a woman. I'm Tarika Foster-Brasby, journalist, sports reporter, basketball analyst, a wife, and I'm also a woman. And on our new podcast, we're talking about the real obstacles women face day to day.
Starting point is 00:15:58 See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women to be at the top of our game. We wanna share those stories about balancing work and relationships, motherhood, career shifts, you know, just all the s*** we go through. Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women. And T and I, well, we have no problem going there. Listen to levels to this with Cheryl Swoops and Tariqa Foster-Brasby, an iHeart women's sports production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment.

Training. Yes. Sparring. Are you ready to tell the readers about the extra special episode we have coming up? It's raining. It's pouring. I see so, but you can do that kind of spooky scary. Well, yeah, but it's also because it's a ride. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:16:54 But you're in it, you know? You're in the spook. I think we have to let them in on our little surprise. Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out, can't believe this. Mariah Carey will be joining us this week. I say, oh, I want to go work with such and such from across town. Yeah, from across town. My girl across town. Yeah, across town.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I know a guy across town. I know a guy. Readers, publicists, Katie's and finalists, tune in to maybe the most unforgettable episode of Lost Cultures this year. There's one more question, which I promised myself I would ask. Can you drop that grunge album? I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet. But you don't have to be mad because you're in control. I am, but who do I drop it with?
Starting point is 00:17:35 Should we start a label? Maybe. Wow. Listen to Los Culturistas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Julian Edelman. I'm Rob Gronkowski. Guess what, folks?

Starting point is 00:18:31 We're going to find out, Jules. New episodes drop every Thursday during the NFL season. Listen to Dudes on Dudes on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
Starting point is 00:18:59 will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez.
Starting point is 00:19:08 At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network,
Starting point is 00:19:39 available on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger.
Starting point is 00:20:17 I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault, but mine, I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And we're back. So Kamala Harris went on Fox News. It was not a white to I mean, I think if her point was to, you know, convey I can remain composed while being completely sandbagged and attacked in a hugely stacked interview, I think she succeeded at that. Maybe she was recruiting someone for her cabinet position. Exactly. I like their spunk. Continuing to double down.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I don't disagree with the Fox News decision. I think like, I don't know. It seems it played well with me trying to think like a Republican, but I've never been able to do that at all. I don't know. Who the fuck knows? I don't know what's useful on this media tour, but I'm just like mad at her. Yeah, me too. I am mad at her, too.
Starting point is 00:21:43 There's there was a Kamala HQ tweet where they showed like Trump campaign has spent millions on anti trans ads next to a New York Times headline under Trump. U.S. prisons offered gender affirming care. And we're like, oh, like trying to point out that they transphobia. Yeah, like doing fucking transphobia is just very frustrating. I also read an article where there's like this super pack that is working for them is basically using social media to focus group, like a thousand different possible messages.
Starting point is 00:22:21 And then the ones that actually resonate with people, they then put those messages into TV ads and then the ones that actually resonate with people, they then put those messages into TV ads and then do like 20 different TV ads and then focus group those until they find the TV ad. Right. Dang. Hot girl. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Just random word generating. This is totally different, but I just saw a clip of the guy who wrote SOS by Rihanna and how like the second verse or the first verse or something was entirely number one pop hits from the 80s. And he went through song titles. Yeah, song titles. And I'm like, is that what the Kamala team is doing? Just stringing together whatever is trending. But again, so Clintonian.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Like the whole way we've already talked about how her positioning and her decision to like just keep moving further to the right to try and capture a bigger and bigger part of the tent is like very like the triangulation that Clinton, Bill Clinton made famous did not work out so well more recently. And that didn't backfire at all with the crime bill or anything. Yeah. And also we people are now smarter and are like, that is fucking a terrible presidency in many ways.
Starting point is 00:23:38 But also just weather ballooning and responding to popular opinion is just such a, yeah, just like letting popular opinion control your campaign. I understand the logic and that seems to be any anyone who like objects to this is just like, yeah, well, what's she going to do? Try and win you over. You're already going to vote for her. And it's like, yeah, but it also just like makes it look like they don't have any beliefs, which is bad if you're running to be a leader. It's also exactly what Trump's doing. He like reads the room and responds in that way. Like he literally will say things, will gauge whether it gets like a laugh or a reaction
Starting point is 00:24:18 and then continues down that road. That's like every, every behavior of his has been rewarded in some way, which is why he is the way he is. Yeah. So like, how are you different from the Republicans then? Right. But yeah, I don't know. Just generally following this election, I feel like I'm watching a weather report for like one day in three weeks and just hoping it doesn't rain in Seattle or say, you know, it's just like, I don't fucking know. Like it. And nobody knows.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Like the New York Times had this headline. How accurate or off target could the polls be this year? Maybe not. Who knows? The answer is literally very off target. And we don't know in which direction. More at 11. That's like when there's like a breaking news story and the reporter just has to keep talking
Starting point is 00:25:05 to fill time. Yeah, exactly. The polls, I mean, I think everyone else who is worried about this election has the same thought. Like the polls really seem to underestimate Trump every fucking time. They did a big one in 2016 and we were all surprised the day after the election if you were paying attention to the polls. 2020, in many ways, they were more off. They had Wisconsin off by 10 points.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Like they were like, that's Biden's going to run away with this. He barely won it. But because Biden won, like we don't remember it as being as far off. Do you think the polls were so off because they were manned by teen volunteers? Right. Do you think we will talk about that on tomorrow's episode? Yeah, the poll. Those are the actual polls that will be manned by teen volunteers.
Starting point is 00:25:54 But yeah, I mean, polling is a mess. Like I've seen people who are saying that the polls now, like after 2020, they were like, OK, guys, we need to change everything. And they started shifting things like so far towards the Republicans that they were then predicting a red wave for the midterms. And like, that's why they were off at that time. And they think they might be off again this time. That made Biden cocky. Like he literally was like, they said there was going to be a red wave. Yeah, there was it like every time he's asked about, he fell asleep in the middle of the sentence.
Starting point is 00:26:29 So nobody seems to really know. I feel very uncomfortable with any like tiny narrow polling lead over Trump who has always historically outperformed his polls. Like really the only possibility of Harris winning at this point seems to be assuming that they've built in a massive polling error, like pushing towards Republicans because otherwise it will just be Trump overperforming again and winning because this is
Starting point is 00:27:02 fucking life. This is worse than the polls were for the Democrats heading into any of his previous elections. So we'll see, you know, but the one thing, given everything that's happened, that he's doing the best he's ever done. Yeah. Like after being indicted, after talking the way he talks, like it's just insane. I'm not surprised, but it's insane. Not good. Polly would be how I would describe it. But I think what's important is that one thing
Starting point is 00:27:29 Americans have gotten right is their peanut butter. And that's called a transition. And that is what we do here on this podcast. We transition. We transition. And we're pro-trans. And we are pro-transitioning. So peanut butter turns out to be one of those things
Starting point is 00:27:45 that we have, I guess, mostly right, or like consumers are getting right. So there's a review in the food blog, The Takeout, which is, we used to talk about The Takeout a lot, but it's basically like food snobs reviewing fast food and grocery store items and stuff like that. And they did a ranking of widely available store bought peanut butter. And the two best are Jif and Skippy, according to their blind taste testing,
Starting point is 00:28:16 which are the two best selling. Skippy is number two in sales and number one according to their taste test. Jif number one in sales, number two in taste. But the fact that we got the top two right, I was like, that's... one according to their taste test, Jeff number one in sales, number two in taste. But the fact that we got the top two right, I was like, that's. Is it because they're filled completely with like sugar and it is they're bad for it. These are all, these are all bad for us. This is, this is a food review site.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I should say that like, you know, seriously considers the mouth feel of like Taco Bell products and okay, that is legitimate. like, you know, seriously considers the mouth feel of like Taco Bell products. And okay, that is legitimate. Yeah. So there's, there's nothing wrong with that. If you're going to kill yourself with food, might as well be thoughtful about it as you're going down, but I don't know. It just, it's an interesting category of things, whether they be just like foods
Starting point is 00:29:03 or products that are, I guess you would call them like accurately rated. Like we kind of have it right. Like I was thinking of consumer purchases. Yeah, the consumer purchases like Heinz and hunts like Heinz being number one and hunts being a distant second kind of matches up with my experience of those products and other catch ups. Like I've never had a catch up. That's as good as Heinz.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I don't know why this this now sounds like a Heinz ad sponsor. I send us the ketchup. Please candy. I feel like despite all those like maps where they're like California's favorite candy is actually nilla wafers. You know, when you look at overall sales, Reese's peanut butter cups are still the number one selling thing. And I think I would have to rank them near the top for myself.
Starting point is 00:29:57 They are delicious. But I will say, like, as I've gotten older, I don't know what happened. I used to eat like litter and I still do sometimes like candy, ice cream, terrible things for breakfast, like, but for some reason my palate has gotten hoity toity. And I'm like, there's a weird aftertaste to Hershey's chocolate. And I'm having a hard time. Yeah. I'm like, there's something like I'm feeling something in it.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I'm like, I don't like it. There's like a spiciness that I feel like not even spiciness, but like a kind of, it's like it hurts the back of your throat a little bit because it has so much sugar in it has always been how I've interpreted that. I was curious if like colas could kind of fit into this because I do feel like Coke, despite the fact that there are like other types of sodas I've enjoyed. It's never like the cola kind. Like I've never had a cola that I was like, that's better than Coke, you know?
Starting point is 00:30:49 But also that depends on where you are. Cause they have that like Coca-Cola tasting thing with Cokes from all different countries. And there are some that are horrific. Really? And there's, oh yeah. There was like, I did it when I was a kid. So I don't know if it's changed,
Starting point is 00:31:02 but like there were some that was, I was like, this is awful. Yeah. Oh wow. Or like the M&M thing and the Coke museum and like, I think it was in Vegas or whatever. Yeah. You could go like taste test all the different Cokes and they had like a fountain and it was fun.
Starting point is 00:31:15 But yeah, there are some Cokes that are really bad. So I'm like, I don't know if it's, but I've always been a fan and this might just be the Indian in me. I think there was some situation where with Pakistan and India when when stuff was going down there, coke wasn't like allowed in India or something like that at some point. I don't know, but they came up with their own coke called thumbs up. And like, I actually prefer that to Coke. Oh, really? Yeah, but it might just be my nostalgia from India. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Just like cultural conditioning. I only think peanut butter like Jiffin, Skippy peanut butter or Jiffin. Yeah, Jiffin, Skippy peanut butter are good because that is the peanut butter I was raised on and like everybody else is like this tastes like rat shit. Do you know what though is that we used to take food to certain foods to our friend, our family in India and the foods that they or the fun things that they couldn't get. We always take them Girl Scout cookies. Like my mom always buys up a ton and then we take them to India and then they freeze
Starting point is 00:32:20 them and like eat them slowly over the year so that they can like ration them out. Cookies are a great product. And then also Big Red, although Big Red did change the recipe at some point and it's not the same as it was when I was a kid. And then also peanut butter, we used to take peanut butter because they didn't have good smooth peanut butter and we would take Jif. Jif, there it is. So that is transcending countries. Pala V.
