Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious comedian and returning guest, Amy Miller. Hi, guys. Nice to see you again.

Oh. Hello, fans. Nice to see you again. It's great to see you. Wonderful Daily Zeitgeist fans. They're nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

They're nice people. Who to find? This is the first time that we've had you back since you appeared on one of my favorite episodes of Punch Up the Jam, talking about the B-52s. Yes. You're a big fan of Love Shack. Yeah, it's my favorite song. It is?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You gotta listen to the episode to find out why. It's the most definitive favorite song I've ever heard. You're just like, yeah, it's my favorite song. That was so fun. Very polarizing though. People just hate that song. Oh, man.

It's a story. It's for a lot of reasons. I think people are just annoyed by it and when something gets into popular wedding song territory then people hate. Yeah, but it's fun to hear every single time. So, I don't know.

Yeah. But there's a reason it's my favorite song. You can go to Punch Up the Jam. I've really been loving their Unpunchable Jams playlist. Oh, so good.

Do you listen to that? Yeah, yeah. Oh my God. It's like, except for some idiot put on Who Let the Dogs Out, but otherwise, and I'm not sure

what comedian that was, but otherwise, and I'm not sure what comedian that was, but otherwise, that playlist is so good. Who did Let the Dogs Out. Who, who, who, who. That song Flamingo is one of my favorite songs that I've found out about in recent months.

Yeah, that song is a jam. Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners just a few of the things we're talking about. We're going to talk about BO, box office, boffo BO. Boffo. Or not so boffo BO. 2019 thus far is on the worst trajectory since 2013, which isn't good because of inflation. So it's very bad.

We're going to talk about what's coming to save Hollywood's ass. We're going to talk about the Bernie town hall on Fox News. We're going to talk about the young women in Congress who are just owning conservatives with the truth. We're going to talk about the White House's and White House staff just being a little bit nervous about what that Mueller report is actually going to say about them in particular. And we're going to talk about how to make teens eat more healthy.

But first, Amy, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? What is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I did search all the places that Guy Fieri ate in Chico, California. Okay. Because that is how boring that place is. And I was like, well, I mean, they have a beautiful park, but I was there this weekend for a comedy festival,

and I needed things to do, and then I just went on a solo eating tour of like Guy Fieri's favorite spots there. Has he been to that many places in Chico? Well, he went kind of recently I think after they had the fires as like a, you know,

let's throw some pork in support Chico's way. Which is nice. He's a nice guy. And he felt responsible for, or he felt like he had to compensate because of how many flames he wears on his shirt.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. He probably started it. He's like, well, I feel partially responsible for just with my general- He loves fire and heat. Yeah. What did you find out? Did you find a good place? I went to this bakery.

He, well, Guy Fieri went to this bakery called Upper Crust in Chico, California. It was super good. It just got a few little things to share, but maybe one of the best macarons I've ever had. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. What flavor? Good carrot cake.

A macaron. Chai. Oh, shit. It was delicious. Chai macaron. Yeah. I had a Thai iced tea one a few weeks ago that blew my wig off.

Oh, that sounds good. The texture is just like nothing. No other food. It's so good. Because what is this? nothing. No other food. It's so good. Because what is this? Almond flour and sugar turned into a... I mean, I do associate Guy

with French cooking, so that does make sense. Or Guy Fieri. It's traditional. I'm sorry, it's almond powder or ground almond. Oh, okay. What is something you think is overrated, Amy? Showing a picture of your baby on the internet when it just came out.

Listen, I love babies, okay? I'm not like a baby hater. I absolutely adore all children and babies. I'm very maternal. Not taking advantage of it. But I think give it a couple days. Like, if your newborn baby photo looks like it's still a fetus, like, let's just, like, if your baby's Instagram photo

looks like a Christian Wright billboard, because it's, like, let's just wait. Like, send it to grandma, of course. But for the internet, like, oh my God. For public viewing. Right. Let the blood circulate a little bit. So we're not seeing the entire circulatory system.

Let their head pop back into its accurate shape. Into a head shape. If there's still veins in his face, you can just wait a couple of days. Yeah, send it to the people who can't wait. But for the rest of us, we can wait. We'll wait until your baby's cute again. Because I don't want to start off on the wrong foot with your baby and being just

dismissive of it. You've already seen this little mouse, newborn mouse, thin-skinned freak. Look, it's still coated by my insides. It's like, no, I'm good. Check out baby's first meuconium. Meuconium is no fun. I really am becoming one of those people who would do a stand-up bit about like,

I'm going through my Instagram feed and everything's babies. I don't know if you guys, I don't know how old you are. I love it. And then part of me starts to get tired of it because it's actually like all of my friends and people I know are just coming. It's all happening in this last two years. Yeah, we're that age. Yeah.

And I'm like, my feed has just changed completely babies and dogs yeah well that's the thing like I also my friends who are having babies like I have to remember too that like this is the thing that they have this sounds so shitty but I'm like you know some of us have

other accomplishments that get a lot of likes like you know a television appearance no I'm just being You know, some of us have other accomplishments that get a lot of likes. Yeah. Like, you know, a television appearance. No, I'm just being an asshole. I wish you had just gone on for five minutes like a television appearance or like a great sold out stand up show. No, it's true. I mean, to the point that as a parent, I feel selfish if I post a picture that doesn't involve my kids. I'm like, here, Sarah, throw me Ramsey

so I can get him in the picture. Wait, when do you post pictures? No, I never do. I'm just saying. Wait, then you just go, no, I'm just saying. That's not even true. Exactly, because I can't always get Ramsey in the picture. Oh, shit.

I have like 20 in my saved pictures. My drafts. Your drafts is all the pictures you want to post. Of me looking cool, but without my kids. Yeah, if you don't have, like, yeah, I love babies and dogs. Keep them coming. I love the pics. But, yeah, if you don't have, like, titties or, like, a picture with a celebrity,

like, baby is your thing. You got to get those, like, endorphins. Like, you know, it works on our brains. It's been proven. Titties. Yeah. Oh, shit. That's true. It works on our brains. It's been proven. Titties. Yeah. Oh, shit. That's true.

A baby is your titty, and I get it. It's true. I mean, babies are a form of pornography to a certain viewer. I'll always click like on a baby or a dog. Love it. You got a lot of baby photos. Just not in the first week. Yeah, yeah. It's a little jarring it. You got to love baby photos. Just not in the first week. Yes.

Yeah, yeah. It's a little jarring. I'll give it a thumbs down. You just go in the comments, you're like, this is actually a thumbs down for me. Just a comment with a thumbs down emoji would be amazing. Please post again next week. Thank you. That would just be an amazing response to a newborn baby.

Just a blanket response every time you see a newborn baby. Too soon. Too soon. Too soon. I soon. Too soon. I'm going to try it. What is something you think is underrated? I think, oh, also internet related. Underrated to just not respond.

You don't have to respond to everything with all of your feelings and thoughts all of the time. Just you can, I mean, I'm a comedian on the internet, so I want people to know. Again, you guys have really nice fans, so whatever. I mean, keep replying. Follow me, Amy Miller, whatever. I just, you know, sometimes a thing is just a joke, and you can just be like, I enjoyed that.

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I'll retweet it. Did something happen recently that brought you here? I tweeted this, like, thing about a kid I saw at Target. yeah yeah maybe i'll retweet it did something happen i don't need brought you here i tweeted this like thing about um a kid i saw at target that i ended up on some like parenting message boards or something and so it just like blew up and just a number of people that are like either attacking me because they think i'm criticizing parenting or telling me their trauma

too which i'm like fuck like I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm just making jokes. Yeah, I'm just making a joke. It was just a funny story that like became this whole thing. And I just want people to know that it's okay to say nothing. Yeah. Any of the time. Sometimes people's egos though don't allow people to have the last word.

Right. And people don't realize the power you give away when you insist on engaging or trying to rationalize or justify something you said yeah I couldn't even keep up with all of it it was so wild and then parents arguing with each other in the comments and I was just like I don't know this was just a fun story

so you tweeted something about a kid and parents were like that is offensive to me as a parent because I think it as parents and I too am a parent. What did you tweet? What was it? Just let me hear it. I saw this little girl at Target who got in trouble and this is all it was.

Her mom was like, all right, no more Happy Meal. And she lost it. And it was hilarious. And your take was like, it was hilarious that she lost her Happy Meal. Yeah, just to clarify, she did not appear to be autistic or special needs of any kind, which I think that I know because I worked with autistic kids for a long time. Again, that's another thing.

You can't diagnose. You're not an expert. But I saw a lot of their interactions. She just was three, and she had a tantrum, but then she calmed down very suddenly and then looked at her mom super seriously But I saw a lot of their interactions. She just was three and she had a tantrum. But then she calmed down very suddenly and then looked at her mom super seriously and was like, let me earn it back. Oh, shit. Earn this. And that was all the tweet was.

Was like, how funny is that? And then people lost their goddamn minds. That's so adorable. That is very cute. Every kid will have a complete meltdown. Every three-year-old kid will meltdown for the strangest reasons. Yes, we all know if you've been around kids ever. And then there are all these people that just said,

you made this story up. Jesus Christ. I do have that kind of time. Right. What would kill right now? Also, in a way, that's actually a testament to that parent's parenting because they've created a situation where the child said, okay, I'm running at a loss now. Oh, yeah.

No, seriously. How do I address this deficit? The mom was rad. Like, we had a nice chuckle with each other about it because it was so funny. And, like, yeah, she was great. I think she handled it great. You don't let me earn it back. Yes.

That is amazing. It was a really funny scene. Let me earn it back. That is amazing. It was a really funny scene. The fact that anyone would object to that at all is just, I question their mental stability. Well, yes. And then a lot of people just disclosed their own abuse to me. And I was like, I'm really sorry.

Right. And why is this the time? Right. Wait, what their parents did to them? Yes. Okay. Yeah. It was sad. Yeah, you can just say nothing that's

right that's great as somebody who never posts on instagram i agree you don't ever have to say anything uh what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false well tis the season for this myth because i've been hearing a lot of stuff about how prolonged sun exposure could be bad for you but i fully disagree and i think you should just get out there and bake yourself sit in that sun it feels good we're all going to be dead soon we have a lot of feelings like just you know what it's like, oh, drinking's bad for you. Okay. Why do I feel good when I do it? I'm actually a better driver when I do it, so what about that?

It's been a long, rainy year in L.A. for some reason. Just get out there. Don't put sunscreen on. Bake yourself in the sun. Bake yourself in the sun. Take binoculars. Look directly into the sun, too. It feels nice.

It makes you happy. I don't know. Comedians specifically all die from suicide and drugs. I would be the first one that was specifically skin cancer. She died how she lived, in the sun, for too long. Is it specifically LA where that is such an enormous deal? Because I don't know. I've lived here for the past eight, ten years.

Like when I grew up, I was constantly super tan, brag. Yeah. But just because like I never wore sunscreen, I'm dark complected. But like I feel like if my son got that tan and I brought him around L.A., people would be calling Child Protective Services. Yeah. Because like you're not allowed to let, it's not okay to have your kids out in the sun. I mean, we do live in a desert.

Yeah, nobody ever put sunscreen on me as a kid. My parents missed that fucking moment. I was outside like fucking 18 hours a day. Yeah. Yeah. It's really, talking about parenting, it's a big deal in parenting that you never let your child out without tons of sunscreen. Well, see, and then my parents were operating on that myth where they're like, well, you know, he's half black.

So he's got that melanin. So he's not his son burn or son damage. And then, like, I remember, like, my friend who became a nurse is like, that's not true. You can very well get burned. I was like, but my whole life, my dad said it was karma for white people, for slavery. What? I mean, and obviously I'm joking a little bit, but I do, I mean. You're saying there's benefit to being outdoors and letting that sun just hug you.

Yeah, it feels good. There's a weird thing here, too, where people just truly don't want to age, and I think that's a big part of it. Oh, not putting the sunscreen on because truly don't want to age and i think that's a big part of it oh not oh yeah putting the sunscreen on because they don't want to yes yeah or putting on the crazy parasol with hat plus gloves wearing the umbrella around yeah yeah that umbrella hat yeah pe teacher would wear yeah there's that like australian hat that comes down to your shoulders like it's like all over. Oh, really? Yeah, have you seen those? Like a beekeeper? Yeah, it's kind of like a beekeeper.

I feel like... Like it's got a bit of a neck flap back there? Right, yeah. It's like one big neck flap all the way around. Sounds pretty good. And it's probably not Australian, but that's who I associate it with. I did have a minor skin cancer a couple years ago.

Oh, no. It's all fine now. I'm about to come back to... Hey ago. Oh, no. It's all fine now. I'll have to come back to it. Hey, full disclosure, minor. No, I mean, obviously, like, take care of yourself. Well, I'm glad you busted that myth for us. A little bit of exposure every once in a while is fine. Well, we're the one city I did notice, like,

growing up in the weather forecast, especially in the morning news, a lot of the times they would say, and your time to cook is 18 minutes today or whatever. And that was a thing when I would travel. I picked on it. I was like, oh, yeah, that's a very L.A. thing because people are out in the sun trying to get it.

And they'd be like, you can only fuck around for this long before you need to get right and screen up. That was a thing that they reported? Fox 11 News, good day, L.A. That is crazy. Back when Jillian Barbary was doing the weather. You used to always say that. Oh, that's's hilarious Time to cook

I mean you can smoke a cigarette every once in a while You know what I mean It's just like live your life We're all gonna die really soon Yeah yeah yeah You were locked eyes with me She just mouthed Seven days

Seven fucking days Well speaking of the ring She just mouthed seven days to you. Seven fucking days. Well, speaking of the ring, let's talk about movies, y'all. The box office is in a slump. Yeah. It's the worst since 2013. That's right. The rest of the world does not give a shit.

But I guess Hellboy had a pretty bad opening weekend this past weekend. Like $11 million. Yeah. Which is bad, I guess Hellboy had a pretty bad opening weekend this past weekend. Just like $11 million. Yeah. Which is bad, I guess. Well, that's true. Bad. Yeah. I mean, that looked like an expensive movie.

And through Sunday, revenue at North American box offices was estimated at $2.74 billion, which is the lowest since 2013. So people are kind of looking forward to wonder if this is going to change. And so, Miles, you put together a list. Well, just because last year, 2018 was like the big, it set a record. Yeah, set a record. And I mean, that's with inflation. Yeah. And they say in this same corridor, as they call it, of like this, you know, box office period, we had like Black Panther coming out and things like that. They're 18% behind last year right now. Yeah.

So when you look at everything that has happened in 2018, globally was $41.7 billion is what these films made. They're like, okay, well, we still have shit coming around the bend. Yeah. Yeah, it's only April. Right. But I guess when you think right now, we're already four months in and we're 20% behind. That's when like the number crunch is like, but now listen to what is coming, though. Just from Disney, right?

In this calendar year, we will see the upcoming Avengers movie. That's guaranteed money. Yes. The Lion King. Yes. Guaranteed money. Frozen 2. Guaranteed money.

Oh, yeah. Toy Story 4. Guaranteed money. And Star Wars Episode 9. Yeah. guaranteed money frozen 2 guaranteed oh yeah toy story 4 guaranteed money and star wars episode 9 yeah i think those fucking film was that five films alone that might that might help write everything already yeah that's those are all guaranteed hits and then you were like that's just from disney look at this list from other studios and none of them are a sure thing so it's like Disney just has a they just fucking know what they're doing man

well they have all the intellectual property that is the money making shit and they basically now control over a quarter of the market in terms of the studio which is like do we want to take a look at that so the other stuff that we have coming up Godzilla King of Monsters, which you showed me the latest trailer for that.

That looks pretty wild. As a Japanese person, I have to respect. Godzilla! Secret Life of Pets 2, Fast and Furious spinoff Hobbs and Shaw, which seems like it should be a sure thing because it's Fast and Furious, but I don't know.

Those aren't the most interesting characters. But The Rock always makes money, especially internationally. But his last couple movies, so he had Baywatch, which didn't do well. He had the Towering Inferno remake. Skyscraper.

And then he had Rampage, which did amazing overseas, but didn't do that well in the United States, so we might be suffering rock fatigue in domestic box offices. Not in my house. But anyways, and I just feel like Fast and the Furious is about cars, and neither of those guys are particularly associated with the cars or living life one quarter mile at a time. Yeah. I mean, I think, look, it's not a Fast and Furious proper film, it's a spinoff, you know, let me just crunch a little numbers, inflation.

Okay. I would say 30% less than what a normal Fast and Furious would do. Yeah. I'd say so. Yeah. 20 to 30. Just off some quick maths. Men in Black International.

Who knows? Spider-Man Far From Home. With Liam Neeson. Seems like probably a sure thing. Yeah. Is it with Liam Neeson? Seems like probably a sure thing. Yeah. Is it with Liam Neeson? Yeah, Liam Neeson's in that Men in Black movie, and he does not like black men.

I'm here to get the man that's black. You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no. Men in Black. Oh, sorry. But yeah, I mean, Men in Black 3 didn't do that great, even though it was a really good movie. Yeah, I mean, I think they gradually did less well from the first one.

Right? Spider-Man Far From Home. Actually, Men in Black 2, I think, was a monster hit, but it wasn't that good. It wasn't as good as the first one. So people just didn't tune in for 3, which ended up really completing the cycle, guys. Check out Men in Black 3 if you haven't. Spider-Man Far From Home, that'll probably be hit pretty hard, but it's not as sure a thing as any of the movies on the Disney list.

And then we got Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Jumanji 2, which should both be solid, I guess. Yeah, Tarantino usually does well. And that Brad Pitt Leo on-screen thing, that's going to drive some butts to the seats. Oh, that Tarantino usually does well. And that Brad Pitt Leo on screen thing, that's going to drive some butts to the seats. Oh, that Tarantino movie is going to crash. And then, and Jumanji, I just felt, again, another rock movie.

And the first one did really well. So I would say, you know, let me just do a little quick math. Plus a spider with a monkey. I would say about 15% less than the first one. Jumanji? Yeah, that's my definition. I'll say, yeah, that's actually probably accurate.

Thank you for telling me. No, my math actually- Adds up to the same thing? Okay, good. I'm going to see all those movies. There you go. Is there anyone that we've said that you're like, I'm not interested in anything? Actually, I don't really see comic book movies.

Okay, yeah. So Spider-Man, Far From Home. Yeah, I don't care. I will see the shit out of Toy Story 4. Oh, yeah. I can't wait. I got fucked. I was drunk at Toy Story 3. I don't care. I will see the shit out of Toy Story 4. Oh, yeah. I can't wait. I was drunk at Toy Story 3. I tell my friend,

I said, I was like, yo, let's get a shit face and go see Toy Story, man. You sounded like you were already drunk when you said that. Yeah, I was.

You should not drink anymore, bro. Well, that's, I was trying to stealth pretend like I wasn't drunk. He's like, yo, you fucked up. I'm like, yeah,

but let's go to El Torito real quick and they get the margarita and they're going to see Story 3 and it's just sick. And when they were going in that fucking, yo, you fucked up. I'm like, yeah, but let's go to El Torito real quick. And they get the margarita. And they're in the Sea Story 3. And it's just sick. And when they were going in that fucking, OK, spoiler alert, if you haven't seen Toys R Us 3.

Oh, man. When they were in that incinerator, and their motherfucker's face was bubbling from the heat, I was like, ah. Yeah. It's horrible. It's so fucked up. What would have happened?

They just, nothing. Just turned to fucking trash, baby. Yeah. No afterlife. There's a full toy holocaust in the fourth movie Just turned to fucking trash, baby. Yeah. No afterlife. There's a full toy holocaust in the fourth movie I've heard. Oh, really? No. Man, you got me fucked up.

I see I'm like, I'm on the edge of my seat all the time. No. No. Hopefully it's less sad than the third one. Yeah, I'm going to see the shit out of that. I mean, so we wrote a thing back at Cracked about after Toy Story 2, we were like, wait, so the afterlife of these toys is they probably just like get dumped in a like landfill somewhere and live out existence like pinned like face to face with like a rotting banana peel and like they're just like constantly

aware of that and can't move for the rest of their lives and like the other and then toy story 3 was like yeah that's pretty fucked up, huh? Let's talk about that. Let's dig into that. Anyways. The executive producer's like, I think it can't end in the incinerator. I think we should try and figure out, I know it's cheesy,

but some kind of deus ex machina thing to get him out of the bind. I heard John Lasseter comes back to just give all the toys a creepy massage. Jesus. Sure. Yeah, there's a fan theory that they actually do die in the incinerator, and all this is just a figment of their imagination.

So keep that in mind. Okay. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.

I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious.

She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to the making of a rivalry. And we're back. And the Bernie Town Hall happened on Fox News a couple days ago. And it was, I don't know, Bernie seemed to have an answer for everything

because he only has like 10 answers. It's like he has his 10 talking points. He sticks to them. He's good at them. He's good at them, man. And he came up against the idiots at Fox News. This backfired so spectacularly for Fox News. Right.

Like I was screaming with delight because they were using the most one-dimensional arguments to try and take down his more like nuanced ideas. You'd think it would be easy to like trip him up because he's so simple and has the same talking points, the same viewpoints every time. But it's such a simple belief set that it can apply to everything, it seems like. And they just were not ready for it. I mean, I think it's the populism angle to it

is just sort of like he's not speaking in blue or red. It's always framed in like the people. What about the people? What about these rich people? Yeah. And then to the end, like Fox News, the only thing they were trying to do is be like, oh, you're a millionaire. Right. And he's like, yeah, and I would pay more taxes.

Right. And they're like, fuck. Like that's how that was the back and forth. We didn't think he was going to have answers. Yeah. It was so bizarre. I mean, it wasn't because Fox News just doesn't know what the fuck they're doing. But to see them really just try and have these really lame rebuttals to policy ideas he had

that were going to get just destroyed and dismantled by him, it was really like they thought, oh, man, we're going to get him. When he talks about paying for Medicare for all, we're going to be like, how are you going to do that? And then he's going to be like, oh, shit, I don't know. What the fuck? But he had an answer for everything. Yeah, he's been saying the same thing the whole time. Right.

And he's so rehearsed on all of this. It's like, yo, you got to actually do some thinking here. You got to dig a little bit deeper than trying to be like, oh, well, isn't that socialism, though? But Fox News are not the ones. No. They're not the ones to to trip somebody up like that like they're they're not going to come up with a new angle on anything um but the

president uh donald trump weighed in to say so weird to watch crazy bernie on fox news not surprisingly brett bear and the quote audience was so smiley and nice. So he's implying that Fox News is in the tank for Bernie Sanders on the left? Yeah. I mean, I would imagine that he wouldn't want them giving him any time at all. Yeah, no, he clearly didn't. And I think we were all like a little bit surprised at, it did come off like an infomercial for Sanders 2020, but not because they wanted it to.

It was just because they had the two people up there who were trying to trip him up and just like flailing cartoonishly at it. Martha McCallum, like I thought was going to like call him names at a certain point. She was getting so frustrated with how like matter of fact he was being at like just responding to their lame shit yeah but i wonder i mean knowing how close fox and trump are i'm sure at some point they're like look we're gonna have him on he's like yeah but you gotta you gotta make him look bad yeah it's gotta be a disaster for him and they're like oh don't you worry we're gonna ask him this motherfucker cut to them like sobbing. Yeah. So, I mean, a poll came out like three days ago, I think, that put Sanders ahead of Biden as like by, I think, a pretty clear margin, like four percentage points or something. So not like a comfortable margin, but it wasn't like by one percentage point. A big margin for that group. Yeah.

Yeah. But it was like Sanders 27, Biden 23. And then the next closest was Buttigieg at 9%. So it's like those two are way out in front. And then he had the highest viewership of any town hall because Fox has done these town halls and CNN has done some town halls. But he had 2.6 million viewers. Kamala was the previous high at 1.95 million. So I don't know.

People are curious. They're Bernie curious. And you know what? Fuck it. I know Tom Perez was like, we're not coming on Fox News. The Democrats aren't. We're not going to have a debate on Fox News. Yo, after this, you might want to. Yeah, I don't know why anybody wouldn't.

Well, I think also, too, I get the sort of hyper-part partisan aspect where they're like, no, you guys always fuck with us. Like we can't trust you as a network or whatever. But if there if there if it was like this where you can go up and merely just have some, you know, like lightweight journalists try and take down your nuanced political ideas, then maybe you should do it. Because now everybody's trying to do it. Eric Swalwell has been like, yeah, I'm open to doing it. And people are like, no, we don't. Thank you, but no thank you. Tim Ryan has also mentioned it.

And Pete Buttigieg is also, before even the Bernie town hall happened, was saying he was in talks to do something with Fox. Yeah, I think he's probably another person who could handle it. Yeah, because he's not, every time they tried to be like, hey, give us a hot take on Biden, which is the subtext of a question. Right. He'd be like, I know what you're trying to do. I'm not going to do that.

Yeah. Or he'd be like, do you believe in a woman's right to have an abortion up until the moment of birth? Right. And he's like, hold on. Yeah. No. Right.

And those are the moments where they were like, fuck. It's like he knew that these questions were lame-ass leading gotcha questions. You said nuanced, and I feel like that's the difference between Sanders and AOC and Ilhan Omar is that it's like they have very simple and clear ideas that they just always come back to, whereas a lot of Democrats,

like Buttigieg is always threading a needle, but Bernie and AOC and Ilhan Omar, like a lot of democrats like buddha judge is like always threading a needle right and but like bernie and aoc and uh ilhan omar are like they seem like they're very clear down the middle like this is what we think and it's it's not like a tricky nuanced thing which is probably what people are responding to i think a lot of conservatives are like, America is not a socialist nation. How could this possibly be happening with this younger generation? It's like, no, I mean,

just look at the people who kids are responding to. It's like they, it's pretty clear why they would be responding to that. Well, and Fox and just the conservative media machine at large is just obsessed with AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, everybody, everybody, especially like a lot of these new members of Congress. And, you know, I think the problem is the game has kind of changed since like AOC and Ilhan Omar, a lot of these newer progressives that are coming in because they're not doing

the usual agreed to decorum that was on the Hill of like, yo, don't, don't, don't come with like super hot truth takes. Right. Like, let's kind of keep it, you know, sort of bubbling at the surface and go dig too deep and make people look up at the 1% as the root of things. And now as they are more just like, no, that's because of this, this, you want a solution for this? It's this, a solution for this. It's this.

Before the conservative sort of rhetorical strategy has just been to like take down ideas from the left with just like anecdotal evidence or identity politics or other some superficial rebuttal to like a real problem. So if it was like climate change, they're saying like, oh, windmills cause cancer. Huh? Okay. What about rights for trans people? Oh, they're evil.

Right. But with no solution offered. What about the rising cost of health care oh do you welfare queen no solution and you have these people coming out here saying this is how i solve this this is how i solve this this is how i solve this yeah and now they are just completely you know i think a lot of the takes from fox come from the perspective of an unaffected person of means. Right. Where it's easy to be dismissive. Oh, people want cheaper health care, but that's going to be socialism. Right. But the gap between these politicians and the pundits and the voter is becoming so wide that these rebuttals that they have are just not resonating anymore because they're not,

these people can't relate on an experiential level to saying like, oh yeah, I can be dismissive about people wanting like affordable healthcare. No, the fact is many people left or right, they're suffering under the same system. Yeah. And I think that's what they're starting to see. And now all they have is because they've had all this lazy rhetorical arguments,

they're left without any real ammo for this like new era of debate and talking points that all they can do is be like, oh, Ilhan Omar's terrorist and AOC is a socialist yeah and that's that like where and those are the same thing right yeah it just seems like this is how all politicians should be talking is just yes you know it's it's a sort of truth telling that you know makes, makes other political doublespeak, like kind of lays it bare a little bit where you're like, oh, yeah, why are they talking like that? Because if someone hits you with that just blunt, unadulterated, raw, uncut truth. Yeah.

And you follow that up with some like humming and hawing that we're used to hearing. When you put those, when you juxtapose those two things, you're gonna be like, yo, that other answer was bullshit. Right. This person just straight up told me what the fucking problem was. And I feel like Buttigieg is kind of, even though he threads the needle, like politically a little bit,

he, when he answers a question. It's very direct. Yeah. You know what he means. He's not, you know where he stands and you know like why he believes what he believes. Yeah. So I think that's why like, you know,

clearly the right does not know how to deal with this kind of talk. Right. So you know, like why he believes what he believes. Yeah. So I think that's why, like, you know, clearly the right does not know how to deal with this kind of talk. Right. So you know what? If you want to keep it up, then we need to keep bringing in the truth. Because it seems like that's the one thing. Like they literally can't handle someone just chest passing the truth right back to them when they're like, what about this? And they're like, mm-mm.

Right. So keep it up. Man, did you see AOC's shoes that one time, though? I mean, in that bag. I know. I thought she was a poor waitmm. Right. So keep it up. Man, did you see AOC's shoes that one time, though? I mean, and that bag. I know. I thought she was a poor waitress. Right. Like, how the fuck are you going to be on Fox if you're also working the service industry?

Here's someone be so flippant like that and be like, yeah. Wait. What? No. I'm a waitress. Yeah. Yeah. Or server.

But they say waitress. You know what I mean? All right. Well, all of this socialism stuff is making me uncomfortable. Let's get back to the Mueller report. That's safe ground. So the Mueller report is coming out, I think, tomorrow in its redacted form. And there was an article that described White house aides as being on breakdown level

anxiety uh which is wild um and it's not because they think like trump is gonna get hauled away in handcuffs it's because everybody was talking shit and telling on everybody else for a number of months before giuliani came and was like, you know, this is the mob. Shut the fuck up or, you know. Right. It's going to look bad for you. Because there is like two eras of Trump's legal defense.

Trump's former lawyers who actually acknowledged that there were laws were saying, yeah, cooperate with the investigation. Don't don't obstruct or, you know, be deceptive in any way. Then Rudy comes in and we all saw what the fuck was going on we remember that era because that's been the most entertaining uh era in news where he was like a fucking just drunk snake dipped in motor oil who lied all the time truth is not true no truth is not true Facts are not facts. What was it again? Facts aren't facts. Facts aren't facts. Yeah. And he said some others. The facts aren't facts. There were so many. American political discourse. And I think now people are really just so confused. This is another quote they have from this article. You have a whole bunch of former White House

officials and current White House officials, but especially former White House officials who were told to cooperate. So people went and did that. And now the uncertainty is just how much of that information is going to be in that report and how identifiable to individuals is it going to be? And nobody knows. The irony, right? Like you go to work for this person. Like I really don't, I don't feel bad.

You don't have to work in this administration. But now that it's a point where you try to do something like lawful, tell the truth to someone who's doing an investigation, and now you're afraid that you told the truth is the environment that you live in. Yeah. Sean Spicer somewhere just sitting in a puddle of his own flop sweat, just shoveling packs of gum into his mouth. Oh, my God. It's just, yeah. And part of me is just like, yeah, how does that feel? How does that feel?

And now there are even people who are so nervous because there are still people who work in the White House and they're like, if this one fact about this thing comes out, it could only have been me that that fact came from. So now they're like, the lawyers and some of these officials have been reaching out directly to the Department of Justice and be like, hey, so are any of the names like will those be redacted? Or like is that the public report like make it obvious who shared certain details with? So it is a fucking mess. But who knows? We might also get 300 fucking pages of black, like blacked out shit.

It'll be multicolored blackout shit. Oh, right, yeah, for the four categories. It's going to be color-coded. But again, we just don't know. We just don't know. We don't know what's in there, but we might find out something. Yeah, might. We'll see.

I'm not feeling overly confident, but we will see. It is interesting the Department of Justice is just like crickets when they ask what they're going to reveal. But I'm sure it's probably pretty busy at the DOJ right now as they're getting ready to release this. Oh, yeah. And also all the congressional staffers right now. Yeah. Because they're going to try and digest that in two seconds. So everybody's just preparing for Thursday being like, okay. Yeah. Because they're going to try and digest that in two seconds. So everybody's just preparing for Thursday being like, okay. Yeah.

Is everybody ready to comb through this fucking thing? Hopefully there's enough information that it won't just take two seconds to be like, oh, this is a 300-page blacked-out flipbook. Yeah, that'll be interesting. Did the Star Report name names? Do you know? I didn't read it. Oh, yeah. Oh Did the Star Report name names? Do you know? I didn't read it. Oh, yeah.

Oh, the Star Report was so juicy. Right. It was juicy in terms of what happened. I feel like there was nothing left out. Right. Yeah. Yeah, no, they left names in. It was a mess.

Yeah. They were like, this is, Chelsea told us this. You mean, yeah, the T-Report. Yeah, yeah. Okay. The T-Report. That's what that was. What a thrilling time to be a teenager.

And I don't know how about this one will be. It might just be the redacted tea report. So maybe very little tea spilled. It's funny to remember reading that and picture like teenagers trying to read the Mueller report tomorrow. Right. Like that probably is not going to happen, right? Yeah. I doubt there's going to be any blowjob scenes in the Mueller report.

God, could you imagine? Look, we just don't know though. We don't know, man. I doubt there's going to be any blowjob scenes in the Mueller report. God, could you imagine? Look, we just don't know, though. We don't know, man. So we can hold out for that, too. Too bad we didn't have Linda Tripp in this White House. I know. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And guys. Teens. What are they? What are they? Who are they? And we're back. And guys, teens. What are they? What are they?

Who are they? What does that word mean? What are they like? No. So a new study from researchers at University of Texas and University of Chicago, Hook'em Horns and Hook'em... Hook'em Italian Beef Sandwiches? Yeah, there you go. Or Harold's wings

they found a way to inoculate teens from eating fast food possibly maybe what's the secret it's Photoshop it's a Photoshop contest premise

that we did at Cracked okay yeah I like how when you were reading this you jumped to say you already did this study I did this study okay well let me explain

to people who might not be familiar with the study you had already performed. Essentially, they found a way to get teens to eat healthier by making them feel rebellious. Right. So the things they found in this experiment, so during what they call the intervention, where they just present these kids with information, the intervention produced an enduring change in both boys' and girls' immediate gut-level emotional reactions to junk food marketing messages. And teenage boys, when it came to giving up junk food, started making healthier drink and food choices in

their school cafeteria almost immediately. So basically, they read an article that framed corporations as being manipulative with their marketing and like making junk food as addictive as possible so the truth yeah and like vulnerable populations yeah like that you know low-income young people right and they frame it as though like this is a very specific article that they presented to these kids but you'd get the same message from sitting inside one of those companies' marketing or sales meetings. That's what they do. So anyways, after presenting that with them, they gave these kids the ads for some of the products that those companies sell and just told them to make it true

by writing basically graffiti style on top of the ads to correct some of the misconceptions. Fucking rebels, dude. Do some sick iPad graffiti. Watch me fucking put a mustache on this dude and black out one of his teeth. He's trying to enjoy a burrito. But yeah, I think we said like

translated like popular ads translated for truth or something like that but is what you did at crack is what we did at crack they already did this at crack.com it's for the children motherfucker I believe that's actually Wu-Tang that's for the children but I guess

we'll go with crack I mean couldn't you just show them like only like embarrassing cool dads eating fast food? Like a guy with khakis and a Bluetooth or whatever. Oh, yeah. And a fucking phone holster. Yes. With khakis and they rocking a sock and sandal. And a MAGA hat.

Yeah. Or I just do boot cut jeans with sneakers. Basically how Michael Jordan dresses. Right. And interchange that with all the different fast food things. Just get Michael Jordan to endorse McDonald's again. The man who hates the children. Right.

Also, he looks ridiculous. What's interesting about the whole thing, though, is that like for the boys who underwent this intervention, quote unquote, the whole thing though is that like for the boys who underwent this intervention quote unquote uh they said that their daily purchases of unhealthy drinks and snacks in the school cafeteria decreased by 31 compared to the control group which was just like yo keep doing your thing right but the one interesting thing was that uh with when it came to the adolescent girls who were in the experiment their purchases were similar similar regardless of which group they were in. And they're still trying to understand what is sort of the underlying thing, whether it was that the fact that they didn't change meant that neither intervention worked

or that both were effective for different reasons. Well, so the control group was being presented with traditional health educational material. The control group was being presented with traditional health educational material. So it's basically this expose style and graffiti teaching method was effective on the boys, whereas just giving the information to the young women was like enough. They were like, okay, yeah, got it. Well, right. And that's what the researchers are saying, that they suspect that the traditional stuff was ineffective with the boys, but influences the girls because it mentions calories,

which they felt could trigger social pressure to be thin. So they're saying actually the graffiti method might be better because they're not trying to be like, oh, the calories. You've got to think about that rather than like, this is poison, young man and young lady. Right, right. You need to fucking wake the fuck up. Yeah. It's just so, I mean, it's just so hard to get teens

to not eat cheap, readily available food. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. With a high calorie content, because you're like burning, so, you know. Yeah, you could eat 7,000 a day. I mean, you have so much energy, yeah.

It's just like, I mean, you're like looking through the couch for change. Like, of course, you're going to eat like all that food for five bucks. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Five buck roundup at Arby's. Were you a big fast food eater as a kid? Um, no.

Well, no, not really. OK. Not as a kid. Well, as a kid, but not so much as a teenager. Right, right. Yeah, I mostly, like, ate at home. Yeah. And, like, made food or my mom made food.

But, yeah, it was always, like, a treat. You know what I mean? I mean, it's still, like, a treat. Oh, for sure. Especially when I'm on the road. I was going to say, like, when you're on the road, like. Yeah, plus I'm broke. So, it's, like, it's actually harder to avoid as a comedian than it was as a teenager.

You can't be like, Mom. Yeah, because with my mom being Japanese, I think any immigrant kid, your parents are like, I can make that at home. Yeah. That old bit where it was not anything like that. And you're like, jalapeno poppers, Mom? Yeah. Really?

I'm like, really? You're going to make a sourdough jack? With ranch? Really? Do you have that weird white sauce at? Yeah. Really? I'm like, really? You're going to make a sourdough Jack? With ranch? Really? Do you have that weird white sauce at Jack in the Box? I don't know what it is. Right. Definitely has more flavor than mayo, but I don't want to ask.

Do you? But I think it seems like what's stepping up, too, is like sort of the elevated, and I don't have any, I haven't read any studies on this, but just instinctively like the, you know, In-N-Out's or like whatever is like fast food that's cheap, but has like natural and, you know, locally sourced ingredients or whatever. Right, right, right. Like that seems to sort of be the next thing

that teens are hopping on. Right. And McDonald's does not know what to do with themselves. Well, everybody's getting like the veggie burgers now too, like Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger. Like you can get it at fucking Carl's Jr. Yeah, yeah. Taco Bell, healthiest fast food restaurant out there, as we learned on the Daily Z.

Hey, rest in peace to the Mexi-Melt, though. What? Somebody on Twitter, I'm sorry, I can't remember your handle, kind person, brought this to my attention. This is unsourced reporting. Well, I was shook to my core. I fucking walked to the Taco Bell in my house, and I said, I looked at the menu, it's fucking gone. Oh, really?

I wonder why. I couldn't even bring myself to ask. So all I did was ask for a loaded nacho taco and a quesadilla, and I left with my Baja Blast. You learned that somebody told you this on Twitter and you just immediately dropped your phone, walked out the door and walked three miles. Within 12 hours, I was like, I have to make sure.

Because then I asked them, are you serious? And they said, well, at least for me in X location I live. And I went, it is gone. So what was the Maximo? Maximo was so simple. It was a soft tortilla with the ground quote unquote beef cheese

and just tomatoes it was the most low because I grew up like when you broke that was the thing that was like less than like that shit used to be 69 cents when I was you know when I was a young man yeah they had 69, 79, 89 cents.

Right. And that shit slowly crept up to 79, then 89, then became like a buck ten or whatever. But it was like a cheap thing that I could get like four of and not be totally air out on my wallet. You could still get that beans, rice, and cheese at Del Taco for 89 cents though. Yeah, the BRC. But not outside of California, I found out. The BRC isn't 89 cents?

Yeah, I ordered it somewhere and it was like $1.25 and I was like, no thank you. They had already made it. You called the police. And I was like, no, I won't pay that much. Just threw it right back at them. Did you go bold on that? I just, no. Yeah, that's where they put fries in it.

Did you guys have fast food available at your school cafeteria? Oh, no, no, not at all. Well, I went to Christian school. I went to a Catholic school where they had Chick-fil-A and Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas. No, no, not at all. Sounds like a good time. Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Yeah, we had just, man, we had the fucking, we had prison food at my elementary school.

Right. It's like Lutheran school food at my elementary school. Right. It's like Lutheran school I used to go to. Yeah. And, whew. Ours was good, but it was a lot of the same stuff that was basically fast food. Like, we had Frito chili pie a lot. Oh, shit. But it's so good.

Yeah, we would have, there was a day that was just salad bar day, which was just iceberg and beets and shit. I was like, fuck you. Yeah. And then there was another one called Chef Salad where then they would give you ham slices and bacon bits. And I was like, why are you acting like this is two different things? Trying very hard, yeah.

But I liked the noodles with meatballs. It was the one thing I liked. The public school I went to middle school in had Taco Bell bean and cheese burritos. That's crazy to me now thinking back that they were selling middle school students Taco Bell at the school cafeteria. Oh, we did that in middle school too. I totally forgot about that. Yeah, just the bean and cheese burritos.

You could buy it. We shouldn't be selling middle school kids fast food probably. Right, police. I feel like someone just called in sick that day. You know, like someone messed up and they were like, just go order 200 bean burritos and we'll sell these motherfuckers. I bet it was a high, high level decision where somebody sold the fuck out. We got to monetize these kids.

Right. We had a taco day in our cafeteria, but this taco sauce they would give us was Taco Bell taco sauce. Huh. Somebody was just stealing it. I think they were just fucking pocketing that shit because every time it was mild sauce, I'm like, why don't we just have Taco Bell?

Right. Why are we doing like this weird jank ass version? All right. Whatever. Now everybody listening wants Taco Bell. I know. And so do we. And that's why Taco Bell sponsors this podcast. They need to. Yum Brands. Yum Brands, if you know what's good for you. That's right. I know. And so do we. And that's why Taco Bell sponsors this podcast.

They need to. Yum Brands if you know it's good for you. That's right. Briefly, we want to talk about Game of Thrones. Amy, you're a huge fan, I've heard. I don't care. You have some interesting fan theories. I tried to get in a couple times. So many rapes. I just was bored and then horrified

and then bored and then horrified. I just ducked. I like how you mentioned, you said that your boyfriend's trying to start watching, but it's like the third time he's tried. Yeah. A lot of people have trouble. Yeah. It makes sense. Gave it a second shot and was not in.

No, I've just started The Shield and I highly recommend. There you go. It's like Game of Thrones, but with cops. Oh, man. Vic Mackey, that pilot wolf. Plays by his own rules, Jack. Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, Vic Mac cops. Oh, man. Vic Mackey. That pilot wolf. He plays by his own rules, Jack. Yeah. Oh, really?

Oh, Vic Mackey. Wait, a cop? He's not like other cops. Who plays by his own rules? Yes. Yeah, no, a lot of them love rules. Because the cops are supposed to keep other people's rules. What happens?

He makes up... He's like a Robin Hood character. My mind is racing at the... Like, what if he got to make up his own rule? He does it for good. A cop? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I've got to check up his own role? He does it for good. A cop. Yeah, yeah. Wow.

Yeah. I've got to check this out. This is uncharted territory, man. No, but I have heard amazing things about this shield. Real quick, we want to talk about Kit Harington, though, because he had some spicy things to say after the premiere of Game of Thrones. He was basically, Miles, it took me a while,

but on this headline, you said, Kit Harington to angry Game of Thrones fans, SMDFTB. Yep. As the Kid Mero has coined that phrase, suck my dick from the back. That's right. Because I don't know why, I don't know how this came up, but this is a quote that he did in Esquire. And he says, how I feel about the show right now is quite defiant. I think no matter what anyone thinks about this season, and I don't mean to sound mean about critics here, but whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their negative judgment on it,

in my head, they can go fuck themselves. Because I know how much work was put into this. I know how much people cared about this. I know how much pressure people put on themselves. And I know how many sleepless nights working or otherwise people had on this show because they cared about it so much because they cared about the characters because they cared about the story because they cared about not letting people down. I love it. Defend your art. Hell yeah. It goes on to say, now if people feel let down by it, I don't give a fuck because everyone tried their hardest. That's how I feel.

In the end, no one's bigger fans of the show than we are that's kind of a true statement and we're kind of doing it for ourselves that's all we could do really and i was just happy we got to the end boom he's kind of like the kevin durant of game of thrones he's like got a chip on his shoulder while being part of this wildly successful thing everyone Everyone's just like, why are you so mad, man? Fuck you. Unless that's an indicator that the shit's about to be a letdown. Right. No, I don't think so.

The cynical part is like, why are you already protesting a lot? I mean, he gave this interview a month and a half ago, I'm sure, like while they were still in production or still. I'm sure he didn't watch a shitty cut and was like, All right. Can I actually change my quote? Fuck the fans. They're dumb as fuck anyway. If they were actually good enough,

they'd be in the show like me, so I don't want to hear it. Unless you're in the motherfucking show or you're George R. R. Martin, I don't give a fuck. Yes. So good on you, Kit. Yeah, defend your art.

Yeah, man, defend your cast. Honestly, but it doesn't matter. Whatever fans say, these are just individual people's opinions. Kit, I hope you had a good time because you gave us some good times. Yeah, absolutely. And everyone's still going to watch it. Everyone who wants to watch it is going to watch it. Yeah.

And then it'll be over. And it was a big success. Who cares? And people are going to sob and then we'll see the, you know, eventually there'll be entire theme parks devoted to Game of Thrones and all that. Do you, sorry, real quick question about the opening episode of this season. Did it seem like they stopped hiding how short he was in this episode? Because Sansa Stark was towering the fuck over him, like in every shot.

And like, I feel like in the past. Are you talking about Peter Dinklage? No, no, no. You know he's a little person, right? No, Kit Harington. Oh, you didn't know. him like in every shot and like i feel like in the past you're dinklage no no no no no no kid harrington is also a little person and is but it was a secret and he plays this hero and i'd never noticed that he was small until somebody was like you know he's like five foot three and he's like five seven five okay five seven five i wasn't lying in the bathroom for with him and i didn't realize it was him till he turned the corner and i was like oh shit how did you secretly like get back to back with him because i was he was standing right in

front of me right his his head was like below my chin damn or something like that yeah but you didn't do the back-to-back thing you didn't like i just want to go back up to him at a urinal i just do the thing take a picture hand from my the top of my head and just like slope down to his. I'm like, yep. Yeah, we're not. No, we're going to have to do something. Triangulating. I want to see what this person looks like.

Well, because he plays this like heroic dude with like flowing hair. And it doesn't necessarily work as well if he's 5'7". That hair is not a game, though. I saw that shit up close. And as a balding person, I was like, fuck,7". That hair is not a game, though. I saw that shit up close, and as a balding person, I was like, fuck, bro. That shit is tight.

Shit looks like it's painted on with grease paint. The curls are so fucking tight in the back. I was like, I want to just feel the power of it. Yeah.

The follicular power. Yeah, grab it. Grab people you don't know. Grab people you don't know by the hair, yeah. As a new viewer of the show, my wife was like, wow, both Sansa

and Jon are tiny people. You could just tell the way they shot it. It wasn't like they just were about the same height, which was much smaller than the rest of the cast. It says Kit Harington is 5'8", and Sophie Turner is 5'9".

Okay, Royce to 5'9". One of those is a lie. I don't think it would be super noticeable if he was 5'8". Yeah, no. He's smaller than 5'8". Because your chin is... I was also going like this. I had my chin way up.

And you were jumping. Then I knocked myself out on the top of his head. And finally, we just want to tell Felicity Huffman that teardrop tattoo is going to look good. Oh, yeah.

I can't wait. Don't you get that spider web on your elbow when you come out? Four to ten months. She's doing, that's the rumor, okay? We don't know for sure,

but multiple outlets with the leakers they have in the prosecution, they are We don't know for sure, but multiple outlets with the leakers they have in the prosecution, they are pursuing a four to ten month sentence as part of her plea deal. I mean, she's not going to go to prison. She'll go to Martha Stewart prison. And she'll probably end up meeting someone who will finance her next film in there. You know?

All good things. Everything comes full circle. But part of the deal also includes a $20,000 fine. It's a drop in the bucket. And 12 months of supervised release. And they said it has nothing to do, the lighter sentence has nothing to do with her public apology, which was, and not a bad apology, says, I am in full acceptance of my guilt and with deep regret and shame over what I have done. I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues, and the educational community.

I want to apologize to them, and especially I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who are broke as fuck and can't afford to bribe testers to improve their daughter's SAT score by 400 points. Maybe you should get your fucking life together, pick yourself up by the bootstraps,

get booked on a TV show, be in some good movies, get your money up, then you can actually skirt the norms and laws like me. $20,000 is not even a whole semester. Can we at least find her what it would cost to go to college? That should be the minimum. Yeah. Where is Lori Loughlin at with all this?

Oh, she went in there and she said, Jigga Kelly not guilty. She said not guilty. She literally, the quote is, fuck out of here, your honor. I'm not guilty.

Free Cosby. And she walked out of there. She's like, I can't believe you can go to jail for this. Right? Yeah. She's shocked.

Send me to jail. Yeah. Oh, can you imagine not being in touch with the real world where you really thought, I mean, society does show certain people that some people just don't go to jail for anything they do.

No. And she was like, oh my, I can go to jail for this. Right. And now that I didn't take the plea, I could do 20 years? Yeah. Mm-hmm. She walked in looking very happy and like she was feeling invincible. Well, that was a thing a lot of people were criticizing her for.

They're like, she looked very smug or just did not understand the severity of what was going on. She looked like she was doing an appearance or like a press tour for Fuller House or some shit. And the people who were talking to Us Weekly or whatever were like, she's an actress. And she was in such a state of panic that she could just revert to her showbiz kind of thing of like, smile. Everything's okay. She's in serious denial. Actors are supposed to be able to change

their emotions based on the circumstances and under pressure. But she didn't know she should show remorse. Nobody told her. When she gets out, this is going to be a good ass Hallmark movie. Can't wait. She can play herself, this is going to be a good-ass Hallmark movie. Oh, hell yeah. I can't wait.

She can play herself, which nobody ever does since Joan Rivers or whatever. Oh, it's going to be so good. Yeah, I mean, there were a few missteps with her going into court looking too cocky and smiling. I mean, making it rain in the courtroom was not a good move. Sorry, Your Honor, I'm pretty high right now. She dropped it to the floor for some reason? Nobody knows. Stenographer, can you read that back?

Then the defendant bust it open? Interesting, then start to do dutty wine. I'm not sure what that is. It was Turn Up City. All right. Well, Amy, it's been a pleasure having you, as always. Thanks for having me back, guys. Oh, yeah. Where a pleasure having you as always. Thanks for having me back, guys. Oh, yeah.

Where can people find you? On my website, amymillercomedy.com, on Twitter at Amy Miller, and I also have tour dates on my website, and come see me. I'll be in Austin, I'll be in Portland, Seattle, all kinds of places. All right. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh, and I also want to say listen to my podcast, Who's Your God, which Miles was on, and he was so great on it.

And Jack honestly seems reluctant. No, I'll come on. He doesn't know who his God is. Wait, who is your God? Oh, weed. Oh. Weed and money. That is not what you said.

No, no, I'm very spiritual. If you want to get a glimpse into my mind's eye, it was really dope to do. We heard some good stories about your times in Hollywood. Oh, shit. In the Hollywood entourage. Yeah, when I was mobbing it up. Right. You were kind of a turtle, right?

I was, yeah, a bit of a turtle. A bit of a turtle mixed with Johnny Drama. Yeah, like broke-ass turtle, basically. With a light skim of E on the top. Light skim of E and a few light hits of E. Yes. Oh, okay. So this is actually a thread

that I thought was a good thread, not necessarily funny, but my friend Joe McAdam has a thread on Twitter that I did retweet about why we need a comedy blumhouse, speaking of movies. Yeah. Why there's no sort of like studio for just good, solid, you know, low budget, affordably made comedy movies when we have this much talent. Yeah.

Get it done. Let's do it. Done. It's just Joe McAdam on Twitter. I just greenlit it. So it's happening. Perfect. Awesome.

Miles, where can people find you? You can find me on Twitter And Instagram At miles of gray One tweet I like Is actually from a member Of the zeitgang who When we were talking about Chewbacca and trying to figure out

How many nipples he had Man 6-0 At NovaCat9 Really hit us with a thread about nipples in Chewbacca. It says, regarding Chewbacca's pecs, the two litter rule would apply. Take the average litter slash sibling birth number and multiply by two. That's how many nipples an animal typically has. Wookiees are typically born by themselves one per litter.

However, there's a possibility if they have vestigial nipples and that they used to have larger litter sizes. Evolutionarily speaking, this foray into imaginary biology requires more thought. Human males have vestigial nipples often on the sides of their flanks. They look like moles on the torso below the nipples. Very common. Case in point, there's one of mine. And he hits us with the photo of his leftover nipple. I love it.

Then he said, I had one on the other side, but it was large, and my ex-wife insisted that I get it removed. Ex-wife. One should never forget that every male starts as a woman in the womb. So does a female Wookiee produce milk? Wookiee milk? Got to. Mammal.

Delicious. I mean, not really. I bet with your Wookiee crisp. Wookiee crisp. What's the thing, the something crunch you can't resist? I don't know. Wookiee Crisp. Anyway, another tweet I like is from Amy Miller.

At Amy Miller. A girl in Target got in trouble and her mom said, okay, no more Happy Meal. And there was a peak Sally Field level emotional explosion. Tore her hair, rolled on the floor, knocked shit over. Then she got dead quiet, stared solemnly at her mom and said, let me earn it back. All true.

And I still don't know how this tweet. So controversial. Amy, you and I are going to have to have words after this recording. Read the replies. You will lose your mind. I cannot abide that. Then I replied to myself with just a link to support NARAL. Right.

Get those abortions because people out there should not be having as many kids as they are based on my replies alone. Yeesh. You're really doing the Lord's work. A couple tweets I enjoyed. Joe Kwakzala. Kwakzala. He's so funny. Tweeted, Sinclair out here reminding us that gas is just dinosaur juice, baby. Because Sinclair has that dinosaur is their logo.

Which is true. I never really thought about that. But that is what that means. Luis at Shine My Shit tweeted, why TF do baby clothes got pockets they don't even own shit? Which is true. I've literally had that thought as I'm holding one of my kids. House, wait! And then Whitney Cummings, a comedian by the name of Whitney Cummings,

very obscure, tweeted, This Notre Dame fire turned into people bragging about their vacations to Paris very quickly. Yeah. I was one of those people. Oh, when were you there? Oh, I lived there for a while. Oh, you did? Ooh. In the Bell Tower?

My tweet was, I wonder how many times this terrible tragedy will lead to me reminding people that I lived in Paris. Oh, there you go. And that's about 15 right there. There you go. Well, hot damn. That's pretty cool that you lived in Paris.

Thank you so much. What a tragedy. You can find me at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find us at Daily Zeitgeist on Twitter. We're at The Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We have a Facebook fan page and a website, dailyzeitgeist.com, where we post our episodes and our footnotes. Footnotes.
