Thank you What's it called The Woke what The Woke Bully The Woke Bully. I'm going on tour. Bye. Thank you. What's it called? The Woke what? The Woke Bully. The Woke Bully. That seems appropriate based on your personality thus far. You're very mean. I am mean.

She was like, Jack, why don't you have a seat? And then pulled the seat out when he came down. I know. Kicked me. He was like, I'm a straight white male. I deserve it. Yeah, that's true. He just goes, thank you.

Thank you, ma'am. All right. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. But first, we're going to tell our listeners to, first of all, go rate and review The Daily Zeitgeist on Apple Podcasts, you guys. It was recently brought to my attention that we are severely under-reviewed on Apple Podcasts for the number of listeners we have. Mo Rocca just launched a podcast where he writes obituaries

called Mo-Bituaries. It has three episodes up, and it already has more reviews than us. Guys, you're huge. This gang is huge. Let's get out here. Playing that comparison game with Mo Rocca? With Mo Rocca. Me and Mo are very competitive.

This might be the greatest podcast of all time. I have not listened to it, so I'll shut up. So go review us. We might screen cap it. But Mo seems like he has fans that would be efficient with their time. You guys seem like you got stoners as fans. That's true. We have all kinds of fans.

Really? People who work in sanitation, postal workers. Exactly. They're too busy. They're too busy to be leaving reviews. Wait, efficient? Oh, you mean in that sense? Oh, okay.

I get what you mean. You know what I mean? They're like, I'm high, I can't do it. I'm working, I'm doing this. I'm on my way to work. Oh, but Mo Rocca fans are just nothing to do at all.

They got nothing to do. They're entitled. I think it's also, we reported on, what was it? Errant fatigue or whatever. Oh, millennial burnout? Yeah, millennial burnout.

So they're just like, I have the excuse. I don't need to do this shit. They don't think it matters. Oh, millennial burnout? Yeah, millennial burnout. So they're just like, I have the excuse. I don't need to do this shit. They don't think it matters. Yeah, exactly. All reviews matter. Thank you. All black reviews matter.

All black reviews matter. I wanted you to clear that up. We don't say all reviews matter. Thank you. And second of all, we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about today. More polar vortex stuff, guys.

It just gets colder and colder. I sound like the radio show at the beginning of the day in Groundhog's Day, just there. That's who I reminded myself of. We're going to talk about Jussie Smollett and the attack that happened in Chicago and just where we're at with that. We're going to talk about Facebook just being the worst. We're going to talk about Gwyneth Paltrow also being the worst. And Howard Schultz to complete the trifecta just being the worst. We're going to talk about Ariana Grande's tattoo, what it actually means, what she intended it to mean. KFC's plan to make a Cheeto crusted fried chicken sandwich. All of that and more.

But first, Marcella, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? You know, the top or the last search that I did was 13, number 13 associated with goddesses. So this month, I'm releasing my album, The Woke Bully. I'm having an album release party at Echoes on Pico in L.A., and I'm doing it on February 28th because it's my 13 year

anniversary of doing stand up. And then I was telling my friend because I was like I don't know if I should do a party. I don't know what I should do. And she was like and I told her it's also the 13 year anniversary. She's like oh the number 13 is associated with goddesses and you should look that up and read about it. So I looked it up. I read about it. It was fucking

boring. Pointless. I was like it up. I read about it. It was fucking boring, pointless. I was like, this has nothing to do with me. What's the connection even with 13 and goddesses? I don't know. I stopped reading. I was like, this is not getting to anywhere. Like when it wasn't giving you a clear answer. It was so annoying.

And I was like, this is why people don't believe this shit because it's so fucking inundated with bullshit. Yes. I agree. So yeah, there's a lot in there about me. There is a lot in there uh what is something you think is overrated um i think that when feminists try to defend the kardashians by saying they're good business women that's gotta go we gotta get rid of that shit women do it too

feminists do it too much and it's like they're capitalists and they're exploiting insecurities of women right i'm really getting tired of people defending them as like smart business women it's like no their mom was a piece of shit who took advantage of her lack of money and commodified her children commodified her children and now they're doing it as well to their children to their children and i also hate when they fucking like capitalists when they do something that helps someone else it's usually they're centering themselves when they do it. Like when Kim tried to, or she got someone. Not Centolia Brown, but. No, no. The other one.

There was another. The Clemency. Yes, the Clemency, yes. But she centered herself, you know? Right, right. Like she could have definitely done it in a way that did not have to do with her. Alice Marie Johnson.

Yes. Yes. And it's like, it's so annoying because I'm like, dude, they're not being helpful when they do shit like that. Right. They're trying to write themselves into history books, which is what I have a problem with. So I hate that.

I think that feminists defending the Kardashians as businesswomen is overrated. Yeah. Yeah. Because, yeah, you're sort of overlooking, like you say, the business model, too, of like, let me sell you this impossible body type, too, and you'll get into these things. Right. That they have to get surgery to have. Yeah.

And just billionaires. I think we should all just agree that billionaires are immoral. Are they billionaires? I believe one of them. Kylie. Kylie. Fuck. Was on the front page of Forbes.

Oh, that's right. That's like the first self-made. Patting herself on the fucking back. Even though she's not self-made. Right. Right. Like first billionaire born into massive wealth and thing that had a whole PR machine behind it. What is something you think is underrated?

I think talking about failure in a realistic way is underrated. I hate when people post inspirational quotes about failure like, you don't just get down, you got to get back up. It's like, it's okay to not get back up after you get kicked down so many times. There's a former rapper who now drums with a jazz band named the Do-Right's named J-Zone. And he has a really good book called Root for the Villain. And it's like rap bullshit stories. It's really fucking cool. But he basically talks about how badly he failed as a rapper, how he made a lot of poor decisions, and how he worked against himself.

And I love that. I love when people talk about how they failed in such a big way that it changed their whole life. And that he had to go, I think he was keeping score at high school basketball games for a while. Oh, damn.

It was bad. Oh, because he fell off that hard. He fell off that hard. Not like he was ever on. Right, right, right. Shit went south. Yeah, shit went real south. He was just like, because he fell off that hard. He fell off that hard. Not like he was ever on. Right, right, right. Shit went south. Yeah, shit went real south. He was just like, but I got to follow my dream,

so I'm just going to keep doing it. No, he kind of stopped, and he was very open about what he did in between the time of how he was going to change his life. Got it. And I fucking love that, because nobody ever wants to talk about that shit. Right, yeah.

And instead of just, like, stop posting inspirational quotes, talk about your deep, dark struggles and failure right because that is what a creates you and helps you but it also what manifests your destiny is what failures influence what's going to happen next yeah no i love that and yeah we tend to mythologize success in a way where it's like well i started like this i had a dream i got on and but I am. Nothing bad happened in between, and that's how it works. Or they're very vague about what happened in between. It's like, no, let's talk about it. I love that Tiffany Haddish talks about

how she was homeless and sleeping in her car. I was fortunate enough never to, well, that's not true, I slept in my car a couple times, but I was living out of my car for many years, and luckily I always had somewhere to sleep. But it's important for people to hear that shit. It's not like Tiffany just became a movie star. Right.

Yeah, and I think for people who are aspiring to do anything, it's good to know that everyone has a struggle at some level. It's not just a very simple, easy thing to do. And don't get down if you're in a situation where you think, well, it's impossible anybody in my situation can do that. Yeah, for sure. And finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be true?

That I don't know. I can't answer that because I don't know. I don't really follow that shit. So that's the only thing I didn't prepare. Okay. I was like, I fucking do not follow that shit. Well, you kind of just debunked a myth anyways about- Two myths.

Two myths. Multiple myths. Multiple myths. All right. Cool. Let's talk about the polar vortex then. Oh, there's a myth. No... Two myths. Two myths. Multiple myths. Multiple myths. All right, cool. Let's talk about the polar vortex then. Oh, there's a myth. No, just kidding.

People think that it's cold in Minnesota right now. Oh, yeah. Shout out to people who are sending us clips of how fucking cold it is out there. Yes.

It looks very fucking cold. Yeah, a member of the Zeit gang put boiling water in his coffee cup and walked outside his kitchen door, threw it in the air, and it turned into snow. Oh, yeah. Just immediately, which is such a cool trick, but it's also-

Frightening. Yeah, horribly uncomfortable. Imagine sneezing. Right. Yeah, exactly. Just snow flies out of your face. And then at somebody, them frozen shits are like a knife. They just hit you in the throat.

Icicles. Yeah. Nose icicles are the worst, man. I got that icicle flu. Yeah. Like, get away from me. I have a friend who lives in Minnesota. His front door, like the lock and like all the metal on it

is like visibly frozen through on the inside of it. And there's ice building up on the inside of his windows, like a frostburned freezer. Oh, wow. Itburn freezer. Oh wow. It's crazy. Oh because the window is so cold that the moisture in the house is just freezing to the window. Yes. It's wild man. It looks like Game of Thrones.

What about the door? He have to do like the Kevin McAllister shit. Put the heating ring on the thing. That's what it reminded me of because that's the last time you saw like the door handle or like a doorknob highly temperature treated in one way or another. But yeah, it's wild. I think there's also a movie where they freeze a lock and then hit it with a hammer and it falls to pieces.

I think they did that on Mythbusters and that was not true. Damn it. Because I tried to get it to a safe like that. All right. Well, that's good for him anyway. It kind of dusts off upside down. What safe were you trying to get into? Don't worry about it. You can't be bringing that shit up. You Well, that's good for him. Dust off upside down. Who was safe were you trying to get into? Ah, don't worry about it.

It was just other people. You can't be bringing that shit up. You're not going to talk about it. Well, it was this dude who was a drug dealer, but he was out

of his house and somebody who lived with him said he was out. So he came through. So what did you think was in there or what did you know was in there?

Oh, a bunch of Viagra was in there. We didn't know it was Viagra though. We thought it would be other stuff. It was all Viagra. The other stuff, Cialisagra though we thought it'd be other stuff it was all viagra the other stuff cialis yeah i thought it'd be rogaine you were too young to appreciate the gold that was in the game so the way that this is being

treated i mean the media is covering this everywhere basically uh there's's an adorable local news story in Illinois where the local police arrested Elsa from Frozen for making it so cold. What? And there's two photographs where it's real local theater overacting. That's so abusive to children. I know. To see her getting arrested. Well, she looks like she's got this big frowny face on, and the cop is like,

Thank God she's white. Her oomph. Can you believe if Elsa was black, this would be a whole other photo op. But on the right- Wait, what is it? What is to do? I've not seen Frozen.

Why are they arresting her? Let it go, let it go. As she's singing that song, she's deciding to let her powers fly, I guess, and her powers are to freeze things. Make shit cold? Yeah. Oh, okay.

And so then- Good for you. There's a permanent winter for a portion of time. Oh, okay. Everything is frozen. And she's the... In the original version, she was the villain. Glad cops have time to do that kind of stuff. Yeah.

Yeah. With cute pink- Like weird sex dungeon handcuffs too. Like fuzzy handcuffs. Like what the fuck is that for? He's like, I just have these pink handcuffs, don't worry about it. These are my daughters, he's like, I mean, borrow them. Yikes.

But the way it's being covered on the right, so one of Drudge's top stories is that this is forcing us to rethink global warming. The way they put it on Drudge's front pages. Whatever happened to global warming? Because three days. And also they just have their main picture

is the screen cap from The Shining of Jack Nicholson's head frozen. Yet again, confusing weather with climate. Yes. So they link through to this article by this guy, Dr. Tim Ball. He claims to be a climate scientist. He's actually just a retired geography professor. I didn't know you could be a geography professor.

Classic right-wing troll. Right. So he was picked out by the oil industry to kind of do their bidding. He's part of all these think tanks that are funded by the energy industry. But there's this great article where someone sued him for libel because he wrote an article where he claimed to be debunking climate science and was shitting all over this dude who's part of the Green Party in Canada. And the judge threw the case out. And the reason the judge threw the case out is because the dude who wrote this article that Drudge was linking off to, Dr. Ball's writing is not sufficiently credible to inflict damage on the reputation of a professional climate scientist. And so Dr. Ball wrote an article where he was like, this is a great victory for free speech. But it was actually, the judge was like, no,

this dude is so... You're so full of shit that no one would believe this. Therefore, there's no damages to this person. Despite Dr. Ball's history as an academic and a scientist, the article is rife with errors and inaccuracies, which suggest a lack of attention to detail on Dr. Ball's part, if not an indifference to the truth. The article is poorly written, does not advance credible arguments. the truth. The article is poorly written, does not advance credible arguments. And basically, he says, any informed person who reads the article is unlikely to place any stock in Dr. Ball's views, including his views of Dr. Weaver. So the way that he asked his defense attorney to approach the case was basically in this way to be like, look, make the argument that I'm too stupid for anybody to believe what I was arguing. And this is who they use.

This is who they use. These are the people who doubt climate science. But you have to like dig three levels deep to find this. But this dude was defending himself from a libel claim by being like, nobody would take me seriously. I'm full of shit in a court of law. That's like the same shit. It was like Alex Jones.

No, it is. They all use the same fucking defense of like, yo, I'm so clearly full of shit, and this is performance art that's damaging. Also, that man is teaching our children or was teaching our children, which is also proves, as kids, when we were kids,

our instincts of like, this teacher sucks. Right. He's proving that theory to be true. Although, although i wonder could he teach a biased version of geography where he's like canada's not really above america but it's not about what they're teaching it's about what they're doing in between that's your teachers are talking about shit that they don't need to be talking about in front of kids or even how they treat the students like that's the shit that fucks with the kids more than the book work yeah but it's crazy to me that like somebody's willing to just claim that climate change doesn't exist for money just like take money from the energy industry everybody's for sale in some level but

that's just yeah you know what i mean and then this one this person clearly just like whatever man like i'll just say some weird shit i'm not even a climate scientist yeah it's not a hot take for someone who's not even in that field. But anyways, I just wanted to bring this up because I think everybody who listens to this show has probably settled on the fact that climate change is the thing. But this is the lead story on the Drudge Report, which is a single page that gets more traffic than the New York Times. Right. And, you know, your uncles, your parents might be reading that shit again I've been saying this since the beginning if you don't believe in climate change let's register y'all

right so you can stick your chest out when the climate does get so terrible and then you can live in the places that are no longer inhabitable due to climate change yeah because you didn't fuck with it with the other because it's fake yeah I mean I think it's that simple yeah but also because you compared it to New York Times not not like the new york times is a fucking great resource anymore yeah a lot of they're better on this subject i would say yeah on that one but then they'll do articles like can you believe this nazi's a barista and he has kids so like they're kind of like us right all right we're 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.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. your podcasts. And we're back. And the number one trending thing on Google two days ago was the name Jesse Smollett. He's an openly gay actor who plays a gay character on the show Empire. And he was apparently attacked at 2 a.m. in the morning going to a subway by two men in ski masks who called him the F word, put a noose around

his neck, and said, this is MAGA country as they left, and just beat the shit out of him. And there's not a whole lot to add to that i mean this is just it's just another story of racism in the name of maga right uh and all this people again and again want to say oh it's just a hat you're just saying maga people know what this is people know the effect it has especially on people of color man like half the time i'm thinking am i more shook at the sight of a maga hat or a Confederate flag? Like, I don't know. Because to me, they signal the same kind of thinking.

I mean, at this point when people have the American flag and they're proudly showing it, I ponder that as well. Right, even the American flag, right. Because they're in such a fucked up state of the world. Right, because that's... Yeah, the country. Right, because people are using their patriotism

or nationalism to, you know, hide behind these. I mean, the thing that's really sort of, you know, yesterday we were talking about talking about it, and I was sort of exhausted because this has just become normal. But at the same time, it's important to point out that this attack is very disturbing for a couple of reasons. Like, one, it feels like it could have possibly been premeditated. Absolutely, it was premeditated. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know people who walk around with ski masks

and a noose and go, oh, here we go. The noose is the shit that, you know. Yeah, that is particularly disturbing. Chicago is cold. I can see a mask in Chicago. Yeah, wearing a ski mask. It's very cold. Sure, sure.

But yeah, oh, this noose is meant to warm my hands. Yeah, exactly. Like that shit ain't happening. Well, you might be sliding on the ice and you need to throw it around. That's true. Yeah, that's true. You really got to that quick, white boy.

It's weird. But like, yeah, I think we've seen this play out over and over again. And now the FBI is involved because they seem to believe that there are a lot of other communications of like threats prior to this. Right. Because he's been an outspoken critic of Trump. Yeah. And again, this is the kind of shit that happens.

People are being attacked for their activism. And you'd hope that at this point, too, the media, a lot of outlets are really quick to first be like, it was a homophobic attack that was racially charged. And they were much easier to give the label homophobic before saying racist. Right. Isn't that weird? Which is so weird to me that it's still like, oh, yeah, yeah, we know homophobia is racism. It's separate but equal. Right.

It's like it was charged when they, you know, calling him nigger and shit like that. And that's very clear to me what you're trying to do when you say shit like that and attacking someone violently. So, again, please spare me your defenses of what the MAGA branding does for people or what you think it communicates to people. It's also funny that people are like, Chicago. It's like, yeah, do you know where Kanye's from? He wears a MAGA hat. Really? So it's like anybody can support. mean that shit is everywhere i mean i mean like that mentality is not exclusive to just a couple of states that that went red you know what i mean

that shit is there's people in my mother's neighborhood who have trump shit out in their lines in fucking north hollywood oh dude i'm from modesto and people and you know it's still california but that's a red county you know like it's all over and I had a show there um last week and I I like made sure that the newspaper was like I offend conservatives because I want I don't want them to come to my show you know I don't want them to feel welcome we did a great job with your abortion tweet I remember along with that gif of the moonwalking with the shopping cart is my favorite I was I made my mom take that video. Did you?

Yeah, we were at, I think, Costless. Is that what it's called? Oh my God, you hit that moonwalk fucking, that was. I've been doing that since I was 11. Okay, well, with the shopping cart makes it a whole other. Wait, so what happened? You just moonwalked with the shopping cart? Well, explain the whole breakdown.

So the tweet was, I hate when people tell me I look good holding a baby, which is true. I've had people tell me that. It's usually like Latina, old Latinas. Right. Like, I'm Marcella. You look so good holding a baby. You should have one. It happened to me all the time, which was like the other funny thing about that tweet

was like people were like, there's no way anyone has ever said that to anyone. I was like, what? How do you get to tell me what I've been told? That you look good holding a baby? Yeah, yeah. And so I said, I look good holding a baby, but I look good because I look good, period. You should see me have an abortion.

Oh, right, yeah. It's breathtaking. I'm breathtaking. Literally taking someone's breath. It's beautiful. What's his name? Ben Shapiro got a hold of the tweet. Oh.

That Walsh dude got a hold of the tweet which isn't the first time they've made me go viral with a quote-unquote offensive tweet because i last summer i said um if a few old white conservative men have to die in order for the gun control issue to get discussed i'm willing to take that risk when that senator baseball game shooting happened right steve scalise right but i would yeah but i was working at bill nye who's i'm wearing his socks right to him on my socks right now, but I was working at Bill Nye. So they got a hold of that.

Right. And the fact, and they were trying to get me fired. And one of the EPs tried to pull me aside and be like, you can't be doing that stuff. You need to delete it

and you need to take down that you work for us because you might not be asked back. And I was like, oh, I don't want to come back. Yeah, right. I don't care. I just have really cool ways of quitting.

Yeah, I have great ways of quitting. Anyway, so those, they attacked me and I don't give a shit. Like, I can't,

like, it's so funny how people try to hurt my feelings online. I'm like, you guys, my dad called me a cunt when I was 12. Right. There's no hurting my feelings. Right.

And also everything, what you're doing is just on this screen. Yeah. That is a screen while I look out and experience life yeah yeah exactly it's also like just funny to me how serious people take anything that they read online which is what you're you know going back to the drudge report right it's like jesus christ you guys take a

fucking break talk to people around you um and yeah my mom hated that joke and yes we had i had old white ladies walk out on the show last week when I did it. I don't care. Anyway, so I tweeted a GIF of me. A GIF? A GIF? It depends what side you're on. Of me moonwalking in a grocery store with a shopping cart. Because I was like, here's my reaction to getting mad about my tweet.

I truly don't give a shit. Moonwalk is so slick. What's funny is I can't be fired because nine times out of ten i don't care about any place i work right and also i'm a comedian people will always hire me for saying wild shit like sometimes that's the reason people hire me so i say wild shit um buy my album the woke bully boom wait you have an album yeah i have an album coming out it's called the woke bully when's it out? It's February 1st. So it'll be tomorrow. Yeah. And so you can stream it. You can download it.

There's a couple jokes that download if you pre-order it. All right. It's very funny. I'm crazy impressed that you can moonwalk. I can impersonate Michael Jackson. Really? Yeah. I've been doing it since I was a kid.

So I can do it later, I guess. Yeah. We're going to have to. Later. Is this a show? Take that off, all right guys let's talk about gwyneth paltrow speaking of incredibly talented people speaking of woke yeah speaking of woke, she was involved in a ski slope hit and run, which that's the whitest thing that's ever been said. I was in a ski slope hit and run.

So a doctor. Yes. How white does that make you not feel? You have a lot to achieve. I know. Can you ski? I can't. I suck at it.

I once, when I was like 13 I suck at skiing. I saw you once when I was like 13 and almost killed myself. You were raising a blue collar house and I was like, ooh. But yeah,

in a Deer Valley ski resort in Utah, this doctor is saying that he was just minding his own when Gwyneth Paltrow smashed into him from behind,

broke four of his ribs. What the fuck? He was knocked out and had a brain injury and he's suing her and the resort for $3.1 million. Sick.

You know what I mean? So, this is a promo quote. It says, according to Sanderson and his lawyers, Paltrow was skiing down the slope behind Sanderson

when she let out a, quote, hysterical scream like King Kong. First of all, King Kong does not scream like a hysterical... I don't know what the fuck

that is. Oh, King Kong! Oh, King Kong! I'm trying to think of a sound that King Kong made during the course of the movie. It's a burr. Right. Yeah. Which would be even doper if that's how a video breaks. Sounds premeditated, if you ask me.

Right. Yeah. Crashed into him, and then she landed on him. Then allegedly, Paltrow got up, skied away after the resort instructor accompanying her

berated Sanderson for quote, taking out Gwyneth Paltrow. So, this guy is saying he was legit concussed. What the fuck? Was laying face down in the snow

and then his friend was with him and was like trying to get him up and the ski instructor's like, your buddy just took out Gwyneth. Wow. And then they fucked off together. This is a perfect example of why you can't believe all women that bitch that fucking bitch I always thought of ski instructors as being so down to earth and like chill but yeah if anything is serious yeah yeah well so then they say after the crash Sanderson's personality changed, and he suffered memory problems as a result of his brain injury.

He alleges he told reporters that at times he, quote, felt mentally ill and couldn't function in the months following the incident. Then, I don't know why they add this. According to Sanderson, Paltrow allegedly had lunch with her entourage and family and had a massage after the incident. She was stressed out. Yeah. I don't blame her.

She's like, dude, she was skiing. So she was hungry. It builds up an appetite. And then she was like, I hit that man. I'm so stressed.

I get her story. Her story checks out. Right. But yeah, they're saying so now, but she is actually considering a counter suit. Oh shit. I mean,

cause she was saying he hit me. Do you have any idea how bad this makes her look? That she almost killed this dude? I mean, I don't know. This is crazy. This is such a weird story of people being like... Because then the guy also had some shade to throw at the resort. He's like, people at that resort, they don't know what they're doing. Oh, damn.

They just want to look posh. And it's like, now you have this level of ski culture shade built into it. It's like, this is lames. Rich lames come here. The only way to solve this is we've got to get Judge Judy up in this bitch. Oh, shit. She knows how to cut through the bullshit. This does seem like a Judge Judy case a little bit.

Could you imagine her? Be like, sir, what's your story? Right. And then look at Gwyneth Paltrow. And you miss? She's like, I wasn't. I wasn't. I didn't say you could talk.

She's probably more risk than Gwyneth at this point. Oh my God. Because didn't she sign like some $200 million deal recently? I don't know, but she has a fat ass. You ever seen her ass? Really? Woo wee. What?

Wow. Google it right now, playboy. Judith Scheinman? As a woman with no ass, I appreciate a woman with a nice ass. Judge Judy butt. Wow. Judge Judy. Booty. Yes, she does. Judge Judy Butt. Wow. Judge Judy. Booty.

Yes, she does have a nice ass. Judge Judy Booty. Look at Miles's. I wish you guys could see Miles's face. What? Wow. You're welcome. You're welcome.

Everybody at home, pull over. We'll take a moment for everybody to Google that right now. Wow. Google that ass. You should have Googled that ass. Yo, she's sporting curves. Yeah, man. Wow, good for you.

Wow, look at Jack. Oh, sorry. Are we still recording? Good for you, Judge Judith. I know, man. Wow. Live your best life, Ma. I'm not mad at you.

Anyways, I can kind of- Wow, you guys really got thrown off. Focus, fellas, focus. Very bad day, Judith. It's just a tongue roll. I do buy that though that like this like by the sounds of that ski instructor like it's a real like celebrity culture like you got in Gwyneth's way bro right

I can totally see that shit happening America is such a star fucking culture that yeah yeah it's true but i'm surprised that there was a quote that the guy like poked him away with his ski pole like you fucking poor you fucking poor the fuck out of gwyneth's way all right well another thing that gwyneth did this week is helped legitimize the presidential consideration or campaign consideration of Howard Schultz. No, she did not.

She did. What a fucking cunt. So let's review Howard Schultz's week. He was on 60 Minutes at the beginning of this week, and he claimed that he was going to run as a third party candidate to represent the silent majority. Like literally quoting Richard Nixon's racist campaign about how the silent majority of this country is like scared of people of color, basically. And then he had a campaign stop where somebody just shouted at him. Don't help elect Trump, you egotistical billionaire.

Go back to being ratioed on Twitter. Nice. Billionaire asshole. Yeah. He's not an asshole. Oh, did he? Don't censor that. I would have retweeted that.

Yeah. Well, somebody censored it because that was a direct quote. Oh, really? Yeah. At the Barnes and Noble thing? No. Oh, at another event? In the quote that I'm reading from the source.

Coffee being at Pete's Coffee? Yeah. He would never enter. Yes. Someone asked him a question about would he tax the rich? And he was like, I don't want to get into hypotheticals about what I would do. It's like, bro, that's the whole fucking point of running. Nobody's fucking with you then.

Yeah. It's also just you're supposed to answer those questions. When people ask you those questions about what you would do as a president, no matter what the fucking subject is. Don't be slippery. Don't be slippery. It's already proof that you don't know what the, you're supposed to answer those questions. When people ask you those questions about what you would do as a president, no matter what the fucking subject is. Don't be slippery. Don't be slippery. It's already proof that you don't what the fuck you're up to. Uh,

he called the Medicare for all un-American, but then he had to walk it back. Cause everyone like he realized it's like, Oh shit, people want that. Then he goes on the news. That's the thing. He's learning.

He's learning what the people actually want. As it's happening. Cause then he goes back and goes, Oh, I just want to clarify my statement on that. Oh my God, that's the thing. He's learning. He's learning what the people actually want. As it's happening. Because then he goes back and goes, oh, I just want to clarify my statement on that. I didn't mean it's not American. I just mean it's not affordable. Right. Okay, my guy.

And then he's like, well, you know, at Starbucks, you know, I gave people insurance, which is true. Like he did help part-time people get insurance or whatever. But then to act like you're the king of like, you know, woke healthcare policies and just then being like un-American because then yeah

he was on Morning Joe and they're like how much is a box of cereal 18 ounce box of Cheerios and he's like I don't eat Cheerios yes and they just let him

get away with that and they're like okay it's four bucks okay what cereal do you eat that would be the follow up question no they were just like oh it's 340

they were just like so charmed by him. You should have said name a cereal. Right. Just name one. He's like, fruit hoops. I don't know. Fruit hoops.

He doesn't even know what they are. Fruit circles. Red circles. The colored circles. So this is where we get to Gwyneth Paltrow because she has a podcast, a goop podcast to improve the lives of women everywhere with pseudoscientific bullshit. White women. And as a testimony

to just his decision making acumen, he decided that that would be a good follow up to his 60 minutes. Is it a hop on the goop podcast? It's a hop on the goop podcast. And to let people know that he means business. You know, like you might think he's an idealistic, kind of fool of shit.

CEO billionaire. CEO billionaire, just because he thought that he could fix racism by writing, let's talk about racism on people's Starbucks cups. I mean, that was... And asking his baristas. That did solve racism, actually, right? We haven't had a problem with racism since then. Oh, wait, no.

The story before this confirms. Oh, right, right. Okay haven't had a problem with racism since then. Oh, wait, no. The story before this confirms. Oh, right, right. Okay. Good try, though. But anyways, so he went on there, and Gwyneth Paltrow and he talked for a while about how divisive the rhetoric on both sides

of the political divide are. And Gwyneth Paltrow is worried about how that rhetoric will affect her kids. And he was like, that's why you need me in the middle. What? Yes. They talked about hateful rhetoric that defines the contemporary political debate. Is she worried, though, because for her kids that they're going to flame her kids for her acts?

Right. Because you're like, wait, you're Apple? Yeah. I got something to say. I think that is where a lot of this comes from, is that these people are multi-multi-millionaires, hundred millionaires, billionaires, and they recognize that a lot of the rhetoric coming from the left is kind of hostile towards them because- Right.

Right, because they're hoarding resources. Right. Hoarding resources from while people are starving in the country. Just keep it simple. Just a quick excer starving in the country. Just a quick excerpt from the interview. Schultz, I'm drinking tea, actually, instead of coffee because I've got a cold. Paltrow, are you allowed to drink tea?

Schultz, I'm totally allowed to drink tea. Paltrow, you are? Okay, I guess they sell tea at Starbucks. Schultz, yes, we do. Oh, my God. This is divisive. Hard-hitting shit. This is really, really divisive.

Are you allowed to drink tea? Right. Getting to the bottom of shit. You know what I mean? She was trying to see if he had a caffeine addiction. Right. Yes. That's what she was getting down to.

Yeah, she was trying to find out. Good for her. She really cut into the important stuff. Yes. He, by the way, also gives people bags of tea as gifts. Just loose tea. Oh, right. Yeah.

Because he's a generous soul. Yeah, but when's the story going to break that he tea bags bitches? That's the story I want to know about. It's inevitable. So that's Gwyneth Paltrow's week. Gwyneth Paltrow's hard-hitting journalism. Yes. Yikes.

That's Gwyneth Paltrow's week. That's Gwyneth Paltrow's hard-hitting journalism. Yes. Yikes. I mean, I hope, you know, people think that he's a piece of shit billionaire who shouldn't be voted for. I think they'll get that and that he's merely just trying to cut the line because he's a billionaire. He doesn't have to fucking actually win a, you know, a battle of ideas to actually get the nomination. And he'll just be like, I'll buy my way into disrupting the election and maybe getting Trump elected.

Although he really wanted to make clear, he's like, I would never do anything that would give Trump any kind of advantage. But when you look at it. Besides running. I mean, if you look at it in very black and white terms, a third party candidate would only probably most likely help Trump. But see, Howard Schultz doesn't see black and white. He's colorblind.

Right. Because of I've ended racism at Starbucks. Yeah. You could be mocha. Right. You could be macchiato skinned. Right. I just didn't think I'd see a Ross Perot situation.

Right. Right. For this, for 2020. Yeah. And here we are. I mean, you'd hope enough people just get in his face and like, bruh, get the fuck out. Don't do this shit he's just so rich that I can't imagine that right listen well because Mike Bloomberg who's

also another billionaire who's constantly thought about entering as a third party candidate he was even like yo I've looked at it I've done the research I've done it you don't want it don't do it and he's probably got beef with Mike yeah he's hater, so I'll do what the fuck I want. They fuck the same bitches, probably. Tea bag the same bitches. Yes, tea bag the same mistresses. Yeah, anytime I'm hopeful that he's going to have a moment where he comes to a realistic conclusion,

I come back to that campaign where he's encouraging his baristas to have conversations about race. It's an emotional issue, but it is so vitally important to the country was his quote. If a customer asks you what this is, try and engage in a discussion that we have problems in this country with regards to race and racial inequality. We believe we're better than this and we believe the country's better than this. That's how he wanted to address race. We believe we're better than this.

The country's better than this. And we won't address it. And if we do it, I mean, the country's better than this. That's how he wanted to address racism. We believe we're better than this, the country's better than this, and we won't address it and if we do it, I mean, the most passive way fucking possible. That's how serious this issue is. Yes. That's the type of person we're dealing with. How did he think these interactions would play out? That someone would go, what the fuck is this? Wait, what is racism?

But that's the problem is he's so disconnected and it's not like he has black homies that are having these actual real conversations. He i met stedman once he's like he'll have like the most basic conversations with people that are probably networking with him or trying to get something out of him so he's allowed to navigate those conversations because they're not trying to lose their connect or whatever the fuck right so he thinks he's being productive he's like you know i was talking down to Keith over there, you know, my black intern. He told me it was a good idea, so I fucking did it. And it's like, yo, he was trying to keep his fucking job, bro.

He's trying to be a paid intern, my man. Exactly. The only race I care about is the human race. Oh, shit. And he started weeping right there. And so I think we just need to get that saying out in front of the people you know it's an emotional issue if a customer asks yeah you just say we have problems in this country with regard to race and racial inequality we believe we're better than this four dollars

65 cents right oh also who fucking i haven't even had my cup of coffee yet i don't want to talk about shit with anybody right yeah fuck you you. Have you ever had a, I mean, aside from like a local neighborhood coffee shop where you know the people intimately all the time. Yeah.

I've never really engaged people unless I'm just fucking with them and just having fun or something. Right. Never like, yo, man, what's,

how we feeling about the client? Also, they're all 17. Right. Well, that's who really is going to solve this issue. 17 year olds with 17. Right. Well, that's who really is going to solve this issue. 17-year-olds with memes.

Yeah. I just sounded old. 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.

separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app,

Her hand looks like a doll's hand. Sure. It looks like it's made of plastic. It's just the lighting. It's moisturized. Okay. But, you know, she did the cool thing like all people who aren't Japanese or Chinese like do and get kanji characters tattooed on them without really doing... Without speaking to a Japanese person.

Yeah. Yeah. Or just using the Google Translate app real quick. Right. Like, what's Seven Rings? Well, I mean, this feels like a Google Translate thing where it's like Google Translate could fuck it up a little bit. Like, it's not technically correct,

but it could go through some translation. So, yeah. So, she had that song Seven Rings, and in the video, there's Japanese written in it with the proper Japanese for seven rings written in it, which is nanatsu no yubiwa, which means seven rings. Damn, so you had to gamble slower. Nanatsu no yubiwa.

Oh my God! As the resident Blackanese person, I had to jump in on this story because it's just so funny to me. This shit happens all the time where people just take kanji very literally so she has two characters on her hands the first one is seven the other one is can be read as rings but kanji and these characters can be read multiple different ways between depending on what other characters they're paired with right so in this context it what it says to me is cheating which means a charcoal grill got it like a traditional

japanese charcoal grill huh is what her hand tattoo says now very aggressively brutally if you go yes that one means seven and that one means rings but if i'm looking at that shit together that ain't seven rings right you would need to have nanatsu no yubiwa and then like afterwards i think she she took the image down and was like, yeah, I know I could have done it. It was like a very half assed, just sort of like, ooh. She definitely cried. And yet it's not the worst thing that's happened to her this year.

I know, right? Sadly. It's crazy. I mean, look, God. But yeah, she was like, indeed, I did leave out the other part that should have gone in between. It hurt like shit and still looks tight i wouldn't have lasted one more symbol lmao oh my god but this spot also peels a ton and won't last

so if i miss it enough i'll suffer through the whole thing next time oh my god also that song's not even that good right she did it for one of her songs and it's like a song that's just coming out right now that's her last the last one that came out it's her most recent one yeah it's her most recent single I don't know why yeah again a palm tattoo is so weird it's so stupid like finger ones I get

on the back of me but the palm is like aggressive yeah and people I know with palm tattoos like they're they're out there

they're out there they got drug problems okay I didn't want to say that but yeah they got drug problems they got fucking drug problems man like you don't need to have me like y'all got that iron man thing on my palm so i'll go like this it looks like what iron man and hand look like and i'm like please put my tv back together please oh man yeah so again you know people dabbling in appropriation i feel bad for

her because she's so stupid oh yeah it's just just because, you know, she really wanted it to be that tight, you know? But, you know, what's funny is that whole song has appropriation written all over it now. Now, like with the whole, you know, she may have stolen from this person. Right, right. We found all that drama. And then the video being stolen from what the fuck is that fool's name? The fucking trap house. Pink, everything pink.

Two chains. Yes, two chains. Thank you. And so shit's got a you would think she would have stopped everything you know what i mean like all that shit building up yeah you would think she she would have been like you know maybe i should just let like this song already has bad memories let me just move on album is coming out like whatever yeah if she was smart she would be like and i would like to announce my new partnership with Kawasaki Charcoal Grill Company. Like, let's turn a negative into a positive.

That'd be awesome. That'd be awesome. Yeah. Then I'd be like, you know what? You got a sense of humor. That's a business person right there. Yeah, exactly. Turn a negative into a positive.

That's right. Wait, what was the song that she was appropriating? I think there was a Soulja Boy flow. Oh, yeah. She took Soulja Boy's flow. the song that she was appropriating i think she like there was a soldier boy flow like there were she took soldier boys flow princess nokia an accuser of stealing the i don't know if it was a lyric or the melody which was not true princess nokia played herself on that shit because she's stolen from cali uchis but then the video was the the imagery is from the two chains yeah so it was a lot of pink trap house yes all pink trap house which is like i get it it's all pink but then that's just a fucking color but but i think that's also too when like you don't engage enough with the media and then you have people around you who don't

really have ideas like this is what i'm thinking for the video based on a pinterest board i saw based on other people's work that's also when when social media comes in handy it's like listen to the people if like if enough people are talking shit just be like all right what's the problem here you know yeah yeah just take it into consideration it's also just a like i don't think one of us could make that same mistake because we have people around us who are honest with us whereas if you're as famous as her you're surrounded by people who just are like yeah man that's cool like don't don't worry about checking it. Don't worry about speaking with an actual speaker of the language. I don't think we'll ever experience that kind of success. We'll have actual sycophants around.

I know, man. But one can dream. I want it so bad. Is that a level people want? We're like, I want to get on so big. I don't think that they notice it. Because I was with Hasan, Hasan Minhaj, my close personal friend. I was with him when he was doing the first taping of his show.

I was there. And I was jumping in because he was doing the first taping of his show i was there and i was like jumping in because i was like no man these no like don't you're not gonna fucking wear this like you need to be like this like don't listen to the executive producers like no dude and then his wife was so happy because sometimes she's the only one that tells him no and right so many of his homies are like yeah man that's sick bro that's the shit bro and i'm like dog that's fucking stupid and you're not in your step i remember even telling him like you're stepping on people's laughs and even though you it doesn't matter for for the cut right for the show i was like but the audience shifts in their in their response to you if you're gonna cut off their laughter they're

gonna stop laughing and then you're gonna internalize it as a performer i was like stop listen to the ep i don't give a fuck what he says. Like, don't, don't, don't tell him. I mean, don't let him tell you that you don't have to worry about people's laughs. You have to, the connection is with the people. Right. But like,

that's the problem is when you do get that big, none of your homies want, cause they're afraid they're going to lose their job or something. Right. And I don't have, like I said, I don't have a fucking job to lose. And I know our friendship will be fine.

Cause you know, he loves me, but it just like, you have to be the bad guy sometimes even with the people you love it's almost like every famous person needs a woke bully they need a woke boy yeah by the album february 1st the woke bully on tour the only job you have marcella is to be the realest one in the room right you know what i mean and that's what you do no but yeah i mean like it's it is funny even like people who are close to them you think they could still maintain the same level of honesty but they don't they get scared because they're on the payroll like you that's what's fucked up about those situations is you end up paying your friends to hang out with you there's

a comic who's very popular shall remain nameless who he his openers are all people he pays a lot every week right to not just be on the road with him but they have to have meals with him they have to hang out with him they have to be on the schedule with him and it's like yo imagine being on the literal payroll friend payroll a friend payroll and yeah you're the opener but like you don't get to like challenge any you have to do material that only satisfies his audience because you're scared to lose that job. Like there's so, it's so fucked and people, but that's the thing, people are motivated by money. People want to pay their bills,

but it's like, dude, fucking get a backbone, fuck. Notoriously down to earth person Bono once said a thing about this that I actually think is smart. He was like, if you look around and like more than half the people you're eating with are being paid by you, then you're probably an asshole. Yeah, it's true. That you're not paying. It's so fucking true.

There's also some news in the world of tattooed pop artists because a young singer-songwriter named Kelsey Carter may have tattooed Harry Styles' face on her face. Oh my God, that shit is so crazy. Possibly as a publicity stunt and Harry Styles stands, they're like,

nah, it's not real. It can't be real. She's just doing it to like... Yeah, because they're afraid. They're like, I think she just raised the fucking bar. Yeah, exactly.

She's like, oh, okay, well, I'm going to tattoo Harry's whole face upon my face like one of those Korean spa masks. Right.

She revealed it in an Instagram post with a famous tattoo artist. It's got the, like, red kind of swollen look. It doesn't look totally right. Right. But it doesn't look totally wrong. I mean, it does look totally wrong, but. Right. Yeah, I mean, look, if you did it, poor you.

I know. But if you're also doing like, you know how to fire up the internet outrage machine just by being like, oh, this motherfucker got Harry Styles tatted on her face. Well, then also bravo to you for manipulating that. If it's just marketing, I mean, hats off. That's what everybody needs to do. Not hats literally off because I'm losing my hair. Yeah, that's sad.

Yeah. Let's talk KFC. Babe, look, as we always do. They created a sandwich that nobody asked for, but I will probably try. Because I didn't even think I'm not as creative enough to know what my own stoner needs are. But they have a Cheeto fried chicken sandwich. Now, when you say Cheeto fried chicken sandwich. Okay, now let me be clear.

Okay, this is from the press release. When you say Cheeto fried chicken sandwich. Okay, now let me be clear. Okay, this is from the press release. Made by coating a juicy ham breaded extra crispy chicken filet with special Cheetos sauce and placing it on a toasted bun with mayo and a layer of crunchy Cheetos, the Cheetos sandwich will give you a blast of craveable Cheetos in every bite. This seems like the step you do before you actually create the sandwich where the fried breading is Cheeto. That's what you needed

to do to deliver on the premise of this sandwich. This seems like something they should have done to be like, okay, this tastes really good. Now let's and like the textures work. Let's try and create. I mean, it looks pretty aggressive. Like the Cheeto sauce is probably just orange chemical

goo that tastes like cheese and then there's cheetos because you know you like a little crunch in your sandwich but if you got a fried chicken sandwich my mouth is watering are you a big cheeto fan i just like to eat sandwiches yeah yeah what's your favorite sandwich fuck bro why are you asking me that stay on topic dog i like a good uh salamiami with turkey sandwich. You know, pavilions, you can build your own sandwich. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I do salami and turkey artichokes and, you know, like mustard and mayo.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And pickles and stuff. It's real fucking good. And if they have the sprouts, that's even better. I never combine salami with turkey. Oh, man. It's great. It's great.

Because I'm like, oh, I'm being kind of healthy. Right. You're like, well, it's only combine salami with turkey oh man it's great it's great I'm like oh I'm being kind of healthy right you're like well it's only half salami yeah it's only well but I get double meat so

it's a little tricky but they got the artichokes and if you're lucky they'll be like we're charging you extra and then they don't there you go they try to put you off

with that but it doesn't fix it yeah yeah but right now it's only being tested in a few restaurants in North Carolina Virginia and Georgia that's why it's just a cheeto see right that's hella white if you come west yeah you gotta come with the hot cheeto you gotta come that's why i was

wondering where they were testing it because i was like who the fuck would and it's like that's like white trash food but i would eat it i mean yeah i would try it yeah you know i wouldn't just one bite no no i'm saying i would try it once but i don't know if i would go back for a cheeto that's like if the cheeto display is in front of me i always go for the hot cheetos oh you have to yeah but see the burger king has mac and cheetos right now and i think taco bell has a cheetos quesadilla or they had one right so a lot of people saw the doritos locos Taco and were just like, what the fuck? Why is that not us?

There was that one Cheetos, Hot Cheetos pop-up restaurant right there on Cahuenga. Oh, yeah. Off Cahuenga. That was crazy.

Was it good? Did you get any? Nah, dude, the reservations that fucking sold out within like two seconds. Wow. But the menu was

pretty much like, all right, if I'm high and have the right ingredients I can make this shit yeah I mean that's all

that shit is right that's all cooking is you idiot just getting high combining ingredients no just getting the ingredients

damn stupid yeah I've been fucking up bad yeah I've been eating like a fork and shit fuck the food part

I think that for the next hundred years people are gonna be trying to capture the mashup of the Doritos Locos Taco, just like the perfection of that, where everyone heard it

and was just like, yeah. Well, then what's the next chip collab wave? That's what I'm saying. I don't think they got it right on the first one, and now everybody's just going to be like trying. I would try something with Funyuns. Really? I don't know if you can figure out a way to use it creatively. I would try something with Funyuns. Really? I don't know if you can figure out a way to use it creatively.

They got hot Funyuns too. Yeah, but that one's like doesn't really, does that have the Funyuns flavor? What I'm saying, to cook? Yeah. That'd be kind of interesting. Yeah. That texture is good.

Hmm. Anyway, we'll have to go to the lab and by that I mean smoke weed in the parking lot. Let's talk about Justin Bieber then. Let's, my favorite. I mean, mean yo he's trying to be out here like some fashion genius right now uh with his new brand called club drew or drew club or whatever the fuck is called and it just it's all fucking shades of beige corduroy yeah and i do not understand what he is trying to do exactly it's a khaki version of the rash nishi like it's all just different shades of the same color like

everybody's wearing the same shit so they're not saying yasin is like bb yasin's yes exactly look it's all very neat uh you know a $100 hoodie that's just fucking brown is not the wave. Either is a $118 pair of shorts that just say Drew across the crotch. Right. The prices are fucking ridiculous. But his diehard fans will buy it. And if he makes a limited edition, they'll sell out. Yeah, I mean, certain things have already sold out.

Like even the pants that to me are just fucking corduroy pants. But imagine if you, because you got, like, a cool casual style to you. Imagine if you're in the middle of nowhere, you're a fucking loser-ass teenager or early 20s. Right. And you don't have no fucking sense of style and nobody around you dresses cool. You need the celebrity to tell you, like... You need the celebrity to tell you

what the fuck to put on and that's what... And they have money to blow. Maybe their fucking Taco Bell savings is up there. Yeah. You're like, fuck it, I got $120 to spend. $120, and that's it and they have money to blow maybe their fucking taco bell savings is up there yeah i got 120 dollars to spend 100 and that's it i mean it's very like you know it it looks like grunge era kind of design it feels like uh like i would wear those corduroy shorts if they didn't have drew written on the crotch what's weird because the it's just burnt out like the text out of the fabric that's stupid i don't know i think you know he had too many one too many drunk conversations with kanye or right yeah well that seems like the the thing he's trying to emulate here yeah because remember he came out

with that fucking world war three look everybody was like wearing tattered everything right right and people were like that's new and it was like you know muted colors it's like how would you spend money on that well yeah and then this is like another like level of derivation because you're like okay i'm gonna take the very just bland beige look and then make everything that he made the cheeto version right exactly instead of the hot cheeto i mean look i think we should all let's give it a shot let's's put our money together. We'll buy a $140 hoodie. $98 hoodie, I'm sorry. Yes.

Take turns wearing it and see if we can be good narcs. Do we know what Drew is referencing? I have no idea. The Drew League? Dr. Drew? That's a horrible guess and stuff. Dr. Drew. That would be fucking amazing.

It's called Drew House, my man. It's called Drew House, whatever the fuck. He's like, I drew it's called drew house my man he called drew house whatever the fuck he's like i drew it right could you i think he probably could you know like because i drew all all these designs i drew with a crayon so i drew by me well in the about us section it just says drew house is a place where you can be yourself blah blah blah blah HSDBKSJDFHL we're like you don't care come chill K bye

oh god this is a legit about us section the blah blah blah when the shit I read out blah S D

B K S J D F H L

all home row a little bit of home row mixed in with other people why do people get to do whatever they want? Yeah. And it's, look, when you got fans though. I know.

You can do anything. Yeah, it's true. Be like, I have a shirt that says Drew. It's all corduroy. None of the designs are of any kind of forms you've never seen before. Oh my God, that's so interesting. I'm going to get one. I love Bieber.

Oh my God, Drew. I used to go to school with a guy named, it's like, shut up. Oh shit. It's love Bieber. Oh my God, Drew. I used to go to school with a guy named... It's like, shut up. Oh shit. It's word backwards. Oh my God. Yo, earlier when I just took the screen grab of the website,

shit was still on sale. I go back, everything sold out. Yeah, I bet. Everything. I'm telling you. Miles, you should have jumped on that deal.

Should have jumped on that. Fuck, I could have had $140 corduroy shorts. I mean, I'm sure it's like some hype beast reseller that's just out here buying them all and then reselling them for twice the price. Well, in what is probably the technical opposite of stealing a bunch of teenagers' Taco Bell money, a corporation in the UK is giving back to their employees. Well, it's Aldi, which is a German discount grocer. But they operate in Europe. Its UK stores had a record 2018 huge profits, and they decided to give some of it to their employees?

I can't believe this. What the fuck does- What kind of corporation are they? Sharing their profits with their workers? So what's their angle? I don't know, man. I don't know man i don't know i don't know i don't trust it but uh apparently you know they're giving bumps that put them above what most would call the like a real living wage according to like government like when you sort of relate that to the government required minimum wage right they're going beyond that so how does that help

their bottom line i don't know man i mean the shareholders are probably pissed yeah you know and i that's that's the thing that i wanted to flag this because this is this is the slow you know slow slippery slope into socialism uh and you know we're trying to avoid that you know so schultz 2020 uh but you know but what's crazy when you look at they were sort of comparing like the wages of like if you're a manager at this grocery store their base pay is around 44 000 pounds pounds, which is around $58,000. That's more than double what a new police officer would make in that area. Oh, wow.

So good company to work for. It is. And I think, if I recall correctly, their wine is pretty good, too. Oh, really? Just trying to get the cheap discount wine real quick. Okay. A story this reminds me of is back when the economy was going through the roof. If you looked at the stock market.

You mean when Trump became president? Right, when Trump became president and fixed the economy. It was going through the roof. He's the best president ever. And then it was announced that earnings, people's average earnings were rising and Wall Street got spooked by that.

They were scared that people's earnings were rising because that's not good for the bottom line. Oh, yeah. And so like the stock market went down. Like that's our system, guys. Right. Like this story is like the sort of thing that would cause this company stock to fall through the fucking floor.

They were like, uh, we have no confidence in the management at this point of this. Yeah, exactly. What's the same shit too. Like a lot of people, when you think about all these,

a lot of digital newsrooms closed up or had to lay out, do a lot of layoffs in the last week, we almost like, couldn't the money have been found in your CEO pay taking a smaller cut? What? I know, man, I know it's that crazy shit but it's but it's those simple

logic steps that i feel like more people need to begin sort of thinking about it's like those people are gone so the people at the top can maintain their check right but that's the problem with working in a capitalist society right i mean when you are employed by someone whose end game is just getting rich as fuck right like of course the bottom employees are going to get fucked over i also just like i don't understand how anyone could believe that any kind of artistic job or any job in general is guaranteed like i that i don't get it's like unless you're trying to build your own shit right like but i'm back to stop being motivated by money. Like that's the problem with a

lot of people is they're motivated by money. And, um, and that's both at the top and at the bottom, you know, people aren't motivated to make themselves happy. Right. That's a real issue. Do you sort of live in your sense when you say you're not motivated by money that you don't let that affect your decision-making because if you keep your happiness at the forefront your success or your abundance will occur just pour it out of that yep yeah it's true yeah and and the money can come or will come you know if you if you believe i mean it's it's unique to me because i don't have family to feed you know so it's like i don't shit on anybody who has to fucking do what they got to do to support their family but you. But when people are shocked that they would lose it,

no disrespect to anybody at BuzzFeed, but it's like, yo, you work in art technically. Our jobs are not easy to maintain for the rest of our lives. Or justify to people who are so numbers oriented. Exactly. And for the CEO to do what he did, yeah, it sucks, But that fool had a vision. And then you essentially worked for him. So he gets to call the shots. That's what's fucked about it. Thank God in California, we have laws to protect the work that the vacation and sick pay that they're going to get.

Right, right, right. Their PTO, pay time off. But that's also part of why people have to unionize and get that shit going so that the government works to our benefit. But I think the problem is when people look at shit like going back to what you're saying it's like okay the stock market they stop investing or whatever the fucking shit is but it's like who fucking cares what they think you know like if you're working like those guys are to make sure that their employees are taken care of that's how you should run a fucking business and stop worrying about how people want to invest or don't want to

invest because it's like who cares about those people right yeah invest or don't want to invest. Cause it's like, who cares about those people? Right. The money will come. Well, yeah, especially, or if you have like a company who's like, you know, their mission is to actually,

you know, equally benefit the people who are putting the work in that benefit, the people at the top, I'm sure that would motivate other people. If you're selling something, they'd be like, Oh, I fuck with this because it's not just going to the one dude,

like everybody's getting on from their purchase but you know that's i guess that's phase two yeah i think i'm very lucky because i grew up in a household where my parents started their own business and part of the business was making sure they serve as lower income you know latinos they didn't speak english and anyone that was lower income and and sometimes my parents would accept pay however people could pay a bag of almonds right well it would be like yeah okay that's what he does so he gives us almonds oh we got a guy who works you know for wineries so they would give us wine you know and i so i'm lucky that i grew up with that because i don't think that it's weird right rather than your mom

being like let's get you to this audition yeah tell them how good that flat tummy tea is or just like you know having them be like oh we can't service you because you don't have $200. Right. You know, it's like, all right, let's fucking figure this out. Right, right, right. They're like, you're a human being. Yeah.

Like, I can respect your humanity. Yeah. And I feel like that's lacking in a lot of business structure. You know, it's like, well, what the fuck, dude? What are we doing if we're not helping each other out? Yeah. You said it right. The realest one in the room.

I'm the woke bully, bitch.
