Yeah. We're thrilled to be joined by you, man. I'm so happy to be here, man. I didn't even know that I had been fans of you guys before I actually met you. Because I've been reading y'all's stuff for the longest, but I just didn't know. I never look up the names behind them. So I was just like, oh, okay. Because you follow me on Twitter.

I'm like, oh, let's see. Oh, oh, shit. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. So we got a lot more in common than I thought. See, this is the beginning of a beautiful love affair, friendship, who knows where it's going to go. It started a long time ago.

This is chapter two. Alright, well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about today. We're talking about Food TV 2.0. Where Food TV is headed. because there's a new show that's taking it in an interesting direction.

We're going to talk a bunch of Trump shit, just what he's up to these days. We're going to talk about Dancing with the Stars, new lineup. We're going to talk about all the celebrities who fell for the helpful stupidity test that happened on Instagram. We are going to review a fried chicken sandwich from Popeye's. We're going to check in with Bagel Boss. Yeah. Because it's been too long, is what I say.

Been about 15 minutes. Yeah. Too long. I missed him. But first, Clark, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Man, I was looking up secret facts of Sweeney Todd the other day because I love the like, you know, little known facts. And I just I just never looked it up for that because I know so much about it.

But I just haven't been able to to find a bunch of a bunch more stuff so when did you fall in love with sweeney todd is that your twitter your twitter bios like isn't it you're a sweeney yeah i'm a very much very much so man um of course it started with a woman two women okay two women at the first one not at the same time you try to cut your throat they were cutting my hair no I dated a girl in college and she went to see it and she kind of fell in love with it so I saw it in the movies

and then but I didn't really get it the first time I saw it it was just so dense and all the music I didn't really get so then I ended up watching it with a girl I was dating when I got out of college. And she kind of broke it down with each song I met.

And I was like, oh, shit. This is like, forget the accents. It's just about classism. Interesting. And I studied econ in undergrad. So all that just kind of resonated. When I found out he never got married or whatever, I was just like, man, you just committed to the work? I love that Steven.

Wait, who never got married? Steven Sondheim. Oh, yeah. And all this other stuff. I had to literally piece together little known facts about him. He kind of ghost wrote West Side Story. Oh, really? Yeah.

How did he ghost write it? He just gave notes. It didn't get a lot of love when it first dropped, like a lot of things. of ghost wrote west side story oh really yeah yeah he ghost read it like he just they like you know it didn't get a lot of love when it first dropped like a lot of things right so like they they took his name off because they were like well we you're new here we don't want you to like start off your career kind of so we'll take your name off the credits for some of the things that you wrote because we don't want you to you know be introduced to the world negatively. Right, right, right. And then they just kind of left it like that. Wow.

So he didn't get – it's like an inside theater, musical theater kid knowledge. Right, right. Yeah, that Sondheim did so much of. So he wrote all the lyrics for West Side Story. Not all of them, but he played a bigger part than what he's given credit for. His Wikipedia says he wrote the lyrics for West Side Story.

Well, there it is. Who edited that, though? S Sondheim? No, I'm sorry. Stephen S. Weki Sondheim edited it. Yeah, those insider music facts when people are like, you know Pharrell wrote Teddy Riley's verse on Rump Shaker. Pharrell did so much

that's a good verse that was like one of the first things he like worked on because he was just like this little intern in Virginia and Teddy Riley's like yeah let me help you out shout out to whoever wrote Vanilla Ice's lyrics on Ice Ice Baby because he did a pretty good job Suge Knight it was somebody who worked for

Suge Knight I think it was oh is that why he got held over the building? I think so, yeah. Good for him. Yeah, Suge didn't get paid enough for Ice Ice Baby. But I still have to listen to that song because my three-year-old is a fan. Well, if you just listen to David Bowie's Under Pressure and sing the lyrics in your head, Van Winkle don't get to check. Right.

But that's fine. What is something you think is overrated? Ken Burns. Okay. And as an adult, I feel like Goodfellas is overrated. Yeah. Ken Burns and Goodfellas. Ken Burns.

Shit, that was really popping in college for some people. I know. But think about other decisions you made at 18. Sure, yeah. Right. I think that's overrated. Ken Burns. popping in college i know i know but think about other decisions you made at 18 yeah right uh i think that's overrated kim burns um what about kim burns you know my thing with documentaries is that like when i found out like with the the roosevelt stuff that he didn't um really tell the truth about eleanor and what was going like it was very

skewed and i understand documentary is supposed to have a slant that's right that's a part of the entertainment part of it right but you have this credit for turning real things entertaining that's right that's what your rep is so like i don't think you you're really living up to it if you're skewing it that much. Well, you got these documents, these letters. Let us decide how we're going to feel about it. But Eleanor Roosevelt was clearly seeing a woman. And you just ignore.

Just took it out. Yeah, just like, oh, we don't know if that was important. Really? Yeah. Really, Ken Burns? That's not important to the story? So ever since I saw that, I was kind of like, yeah. Yeah.

And Goodfellas, just a lot of style, not a lot of substance. Here's the thing. I went to school for journalism. So no matter how dope my, if the word count was 2,000. Right. And I did a dope-ass 3,000 piece, it don't count. You got to make it dope in 2,000. Right. So I felt like the ending, y got to make it dope in 2000. Right.

So like, I felt like the ending, like y'all are familiar with the movie. Yes. All that. When did he just become this chef? Like that was never mentioned anywhere else in the first two acts of the movie. And all of a sudden cooking means everything to him.

And he's like, okay, now I got to slice the, I know when he went to jail, like he was like, cool y'all slice up you know onions with the razor blade that's cool but it was not like a personality trait sure until you needed it to end the movie right so like no make it good within that that required amount of time and don't rush the ending or seed that in your first two acts

or something. Just show anything. Give me fucking one scene even. Give me anything where he's in the kitchen. Right. Right. He's never in the kitchen.

Although I did think it was the most gangster shit. Wasn't he like chopping garlic too? Yeah, he was chopping with the it was beautiful to look at. In my mind I thought like is that the way you're supposed to do it?

It was beautiful garlic gotta be thin. Yeah, it was beautiful to look at but it just came out of nowhere as a necessity so come on man he walked through that kitchen in that tracking shot and that's when it all just entered his body it was a callback yeah what posters did you have of movies ever i had a godfather uh i remember that in in high school uh like the photographic one or just the the photograph with the cat and i remember that in high school Like the photographic one

Or just the logo The photograph with the cat And I remember that Because the first time I smoked weed I did it out of a A dead cat Glass bong And I was told

You don't get high the first time But that's just because You don't smoke correctly The first time normally Yeah, yeah, yeah So I just took like A huge rip out of a glass bong And so

And then went to bed I was like, alright And then we'll actually get high tomorrow. And went into my room and looked up at my poster, and the cat started moving on the poster. I was like, oh, shit. But other than that, I had all the Wu-Tang albums. As posters?

36 Changers, Liquid Swords. I had a felt Blacklight Wu-Tang Forever poster. Yeah. Wow. Which is really weird. Spencer's Gifts? Yeah. Or Sam Goody, basically.

City Walk is where I bought that. Yeah. How about you, Clark? I had Love Jones and I had Don't Make Fun of Me. I had Shallow Hal. Okay, I asked specifically

Don't Make Fun of Me. No, I'm not making fun of you. I love that. It's a celebration of your taste. I specifically asked you. Don't make fun of me. No, I'm not making fun of you. I love that. It's a celebration of your taste. I specifically asked you. Don't make fun of me. Was it framed? No, no, no.

It was the clear text. Right, right, right. Okay. Sure. I mean, I do remember there was a time. Did you just like get that? I really liked the movie, man. Yeah, okay.

I thought it was a good story. It's really the only jack black movie i enjoy watching have you seen orange county nah you should fucking watch orange county it's good his character like if you if you're looking for a jack black performance his his performance that's what i see i'm not i like to understand i'm like the understatedness that he is in okay the message is the main character. Well, okay. Allow me to pitch this to you then. It's about his brother who's like this sort of overachieving.

Well, not quite overachieving. He wants to go to Stanford. Okay. And he's really distraught because his high school counselor mistakenly sends a transcript of another kid, and he doesn't get into Stanford. And Jack Black is his burnout brother who's just kind of like, take it easy, man. Like, I'm chill. And he looks at his brother like, fuck no, I don't want to be that shit.

And through their relationship, like, Jack Black is like, we're going to drive to Stanford and sort this out. Okay. And it's, you know. Yeah, like, there has to be a balance. Like, Jack Black has to be with this really grounded story. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, if you can merge those two and emerge, you know, like cooking. It has to be a good balance.

So like, if he's paired with something that's grounded. Solid. Yeah, yeah. That allows his absurdity to sort of come off a little more. And you can take it more. Okay, we needed a little break from the seriousness. Yeah. That's Miles' favorite

movie from when he was a kid, though, right? Yeah. It's up there. I mean, that was like a thing I could just smoke blunts and put on loop. What did you think of Lady Bird? It was fine. I don't watch movies like I used to like that. Okay.

Yeah, so it's a little bit different. Man, I'm checking. Although I didn't go to Catholic school. Anything she's in, she's underrated. Yeah. I think that calf is super underrated. I know, and she's in, she's underrated. Laurie Metcalf is super underrated. I know, and she's only been getting better and better. I feel like every time I'm like,

dude, Laurie Metcalf might be the fucking greatest thing ever. Her and Allison Janney, they're both kind of finally getting the Hollywood love that they deserve. Yeah. I think Laurie Metcalf was in an acting troupe with John Malkovich and all these all these super famous people. Oh, really? Yeah. When they were younger. I think that's right.

What is something you think is underrated? This is new for me, but recently I know this is a tough sale, but I think Jon Favreau is underrated. Jon Favreau? Yeah, the speech writer. No, the director. Yeah, like, man, I love food. This is a hot take, man. Is it? It is.

Are you being sarcastic? No, because we've talked a lot of shit about the new Lion King on this podcast. Oh, I forgot about that. All right, let me. Well, but I think there is something to say about that because to me I put him in a box before

and then to see him direct and do these other things I don't think I appreciated that as much because I was a little bit dismissive because I was like

nah that's a dude from Swingers I mean like between the ability to do these big movies and a pull off chef yeah

I think is like yo he kinda gets it yeah you know what i mean like so i don't know like i i think he did a great thing with chef i kind of fell in love with that movie yeah i need to i need to watch chef oh for sure you'll become insufferable i will yeah i think you'll oh i'm saying it turns you into a foodie you'll you'll i think you might like uh what italy did to me I think Chef does for people with cooking and stuff.

I don't even need to know the reference, but I could see exactly what you're talking about. It's just a thing. You know, like, I guess once you've looked heaven directly in its eyes,

it's a sort of sensation you can't unshake or unremember. Anyway. What city did you go to? Oh, one of the great cities. What are you doing? Well, I was all over Tuscany, but Florence or Firenze, as the locals called it.

What is a myth or something people think is true you know to be false? Yo, Chicago ain't the most violent city. I'm getting tired of people saying that. Okay. It's not. It's like five neighborhoods. I think the most violent city. And I'm getting tired of people saying that. It's not. It's like five neighborhoods. Right. I think the most violent city is St. Louis.

Yeah. These are facts. Well, this is a fact. Like, that place is dangerous. Right. Right. But it just has become this sort of, like, dog whistle thing to be like, you know, black people are killing each other in Chicago. But what about Chicago?

Right. Chicago is black people. Right. Like, you know, as a euphemism, if you will. So it's not. We got like, I think it was 6,600,000. I don't know which one. It was one of those where visitors a year,

and they alive. Right. They live to tell about it. Right. Yeah. Oh, man. The myth that, can I settle? i'm not a chicago homer but chicago pizza is not deep dish so chicago pizza pizza is bar tavern thin crust that's we we have

heard that on a previous episode yeah but that was a long time ago this is underscoring that point yeah what is it about is it just because there are more famous deep dish places that have like the Lou Malnati's of the world have had people be like, that's what Chicago pizza is. It's something about the marketing because people also see Chicago as like this sketch improv town when really some of the best standups are what come out of Chicago. Right. That's true.

Like if you run down a list right now, it's like most of the people that you think are funny started out in stand-up in Chicago. Yeah. Especially ones that are coming up and we just keep kind of regenerating. Yeah. It's why everybody knows Second City. So, like, they have the bigger marketing behind them. Sure.

Yeah. There's myths about Chicago. Yeah. Musically, Chicago had a pretty good run there. Just the band, I mean. Big band. Name a Chicago song. Write it down.

Saturday in the Park. That's what it's called. I think it was the 4th of July. Yeah, I think it probably is like a marketing thing and like the deep dish pizza needed a city. Like it needed a location right or maybe that's like more specific to chicago i wonder if there is a city saying who's like who agrees with you and it's like you're right because it's actually

yeah it's it's a very specific thing it probably doesn't even need to be called pizza necessarily. I don't know. You're the Italian expert. Sorry, what was your question? Signore? Preguntareme. That's not a real word. That was actually really

Preguntame. I believe you just said question squid. Question seafood. Question all the seafood. Question everything. You got it, man. Make sure your calamari is not pig's anus.

You know what I mean? Yeah, that's true. That was like a weird shortcut that people were doing. Yeah. Got to make sure. The rings. I never liked the rings. I actually noticed a lot.

I never liked the other thing. The actual tentacle? Yeah, the thing that looks like a squid. I never liked the other thing. The actual tentacle? Yeah, the thing that looks like a squid. I never got into that. Yeah. Those were actually hog anuses. Ah, yes.

Yes, yes. With just really bad hemorrhoids. Yeah. It all depends on where you get the stuff. If you fry it right. Yeah, anything. Put enough premium bear on it. Anything is edible! Well, speaking of questioning the seafood, Food TV's got a new show that sounds like it is a parody of itself, but apparently it's real.

Yeah. I mean, cooking shows have always, like, they've had this evolution, right, from, like, dry tutorials of, like, this is how you make this thing. And then we started getting into like the more highbrow competitions like your top chefs and your hell's kitchens and master chefs and then you get these like half hybrid comedies it's like it's social justice commentary at this point like with uh ugly delicious have you seen that yeah it's just like it's more like this is the history of the hot dog and how people were oppressed as they were in the labor camps right oh shit okay and like yeah and now we're getting more of like the jokey stuff so

now there is a new show on quibi again i don't know what the i feel like everything's about to be on quibi for whatever reason uh in 2020 but it's almost like half japanese game show half legit cooking show so it's hosted by Titus Burgess. And each episode, quote, starts with the cannon blasting of a mystery food dish into the faces of two blindfolded chefs. They'll use their culinary prowess to identify the exploded dish and then race against the clock to recreate it. Whichever chef comes closest to the original dish wins a cash prize. Now, let's say it's hot soup. Perfect.

Are they just going to be like, ah! Yeah, that would be hilarious. The first five minutes is just them screaming and having their wounds tended to. It's like a paella, so there's a bunch of shellfish and shells cutting your face up. I don't know. I mean, I think it's sort of, you know, that's what's kind of becoming funny because Nailed It helps sort of democratize things a bit. It's like, see man, nobody can get this shit done. But now sort of saying like, oh, you're

so good. How good are you? Are you so good we can explode a meal on your face? Why are we doing this to chefs? Like, why do we hate chefs so much? So, as Americans, we do not like experts. We do not like expertise. So we've seen these people be better than us and be un-

Like we can't- They're unrelatable. So now we have to bring them down and humiliate them on national TV. They do it to comedians. They do it to chefs. Yeah, right. It's really, really- I just like those-

I like when the guy has- Like on a chopped or like the When the guy has Like on a Chopped or whatever When the guy has nothing To play for really That's not that deep Right Right

Oh my dad died of cancer Right Oh man you know Just shit Just I'm just Trying to take a few weeks off You know what I'm saying

Right Go to the valley Like you know Trick off Go to Vegas Never been out here Yeah That's what I'm playing for today That the valley. Like, you know, trip off. Go to Vegas. Never been out here. Yeah. That's what I'm playing for today.

That's funny. Yeah. The producers, I always find people with heavy fucking stories on Chopped. It's almost like, I get it, producers. Thank you. But, like, sometimes I've turned off an episode because I'm like, that was so heavy. Like, someone, like, recently lost a parent. And they're like, I'm here despite what happened.

Like, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on. You could tell when they were like, we need to punch this up a little bit more. Because then they'll just dramatize something very basic. I'm getting fired. Can we get the filming to be during the funeral so that they're really conflicted about it? Yeah. Then they cut that person. Yeah.

They're like, I'm sorry. Yeah, your dream ends here. Sorry, that didn't really work out. They're like, I'm here, yeah. Your dream ends here. Sorry, that didn't really work out. They're like, I'm here to just honor my father's memory. And they're like, well, unfortunately, this dish did not honor his memory. So Quibi, by the way, for people who weren't listening to that episode when we covered it, isn't that the 10-minute TV shows or something that Steven Spielberg, it just has all this funding. Everybody, yeah.

It just has all this funding. Everybody, yeah. It's going to be a mobile app where you watch TV shows that are made specifically to be 10, 15 minutes long. And they've got a lot of good talent. They've got Punk'd coming back. Really? They've got a show where they fire hot soup in chefs' faces. It sounds perfect for commuter entertainment.

Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm still skeptical. What's your qual Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm still skeptical. What's your qualms? I don't know. They're basically creating a new genre of entertainment. I've never seen somebody put the cart this far before the horse where they're just like, they're signing all the talent on and then just being like, and-

And it'll be tight. It'll be tight. Well, there was one case, a little company called CISO. Right. That's what I'm saying. That I was a part of. People have been trying to do this for a long time and signing really great talent. And it just feels like the ability to create art form that is like 10 minutes long and like just really short bite-sized stuff.

I don't know. I just – it's a lot of people have tried it. Yeah. I mean, there's a difference between selling good and selling different. Right. You know what I mean? It's just like,

this is a different idea. Yeah. You don't know if it's going to fail. Right. All right. Because it's so different. It's never been done. But this is also always the feedback you get from executives when you're first starting

like podcasts. They were like gotta make it quick man people don't have long attention span two minutes man yeah and then like some of the best podcasts are like hours long and it's like people that actually isn't true people don't want to have to keep choosing what their next podcast is they want you to like you know spend some time with them um yeah i mean you can't beat a good story ever right you know what i mean and if it's if people don't want a long podcast from people who don't know what they're doing right but if you if you got a good story you know how to tell it you know people are

tuning in people will still get locked down right yeah and youtube videos like they like it's a hack now to make them longer because yeah it's been longer to watch yeah so i mean they like it's a hack now to make them longer because people spend longer to watch it yeah so i mean again like it doesn't work if you're not good at it but the videos are now trending higher and higher uh in terms of runtime uh so i just feel like there's always this idea that like we gotta you know dumb it down shorten it make it really quick and it hasn't really worked out that way do we know if quibi's's behind a paywall or it's ad-sponsored? I think it must be ad-sponsored. Yeah, because that would be the death knell where it's like,

okay, hold on, you want me to shell out money? So people are going to pay $30 a month to watch 10-minute videos? No. Right. There's just too much good entertainment. It's way too much, yeah. Yeah. It's way too much entertainment.

I don't know if it's way too much good. Yeah, that's true. much entertainment. I don't know if it's way too much. Yeah, that's true. It's just too much to choose from. All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four 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 near them. Why is that? 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.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four 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 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 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, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. And we're back. And this Greenland thing that Donald Trump apparently... I don't know, man. It seemed like something he was just saying off the top of his head. Absolutely not.

Then posted it. Yeah. He fucking meant that shit. And you know he meant that shit because he is so upset at the response he got from Denmark. So we talked about how he's taking a look at Greenland. And we even heard Larry Kudlow's drunk ass on the Sunday shows being like, Greenland is going to be a strategic place for oil drilling um and now you know he as again they're saying hey let's look into buying Greenland the prime minister of Denmark weighed in and described

this as a quote an absurd discussion right because it is because Greenland isn't some fucking distressed property he can buy in queens it's a fucking country uh this is this isn't and i don't again this shows you just sort of how he looks at the world so because the prime minister simply described something as it is absurd uh old baby ass got real freaked out and canceled an upcoming state visit to Denmark. He said, Denmark, I looked forward to going, but I thought that prime minister's statement that it was absurd, that it was an absurd idea, was nasty.

I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to say is, no, we wouldn't be interested. We can't treat the United States of America the way they treated us under President Obama. I thought it was a very not nice way of saying something. They could have told me no. Okay, President Incel. What the fuck? You could have just said no.

So he just never stopped being a real estate developer. Right. He just never took that cap off. That's all he knows. Yeah. I mean, when you really look at it, it's like he was probably thinking like, man, that would be a good deal to hop in on, man. And get in early on greenland you're saying the ice sheet could recede and there

might be vast uh yeah minerals and things to mine for it's so crazy like that it's not it's mostly greenland is mostly uninhabitable yeah right and like iceland is the nice place right like they did that on purpose isn't that the story like they named it Greenland so people would go there instead of going. So he fell for a 3,000-year-old trick. Instagram hoax. Yeah, a hoax. Greenland, that sounds great. Right.

I want to buy it. And he's like, no, you can't even. It would drive him into debt, but he's not really great at investments. Well, yeah, we're already about to hit a trillion dollars in the deficit. Two years ahead of time. That ticker is is just boom it happens man every time so the democrats because they have the reputation for spending a lot of money people pay a lot of attention to them and they have to balance the budget but when the republicans come in man fiscally conservative fucking money cannon lies i know seriously i think they just have like those like

dollar bill guns yeah it's like shooting hundreds off the hill um it i like this because this is what like if there's got to be a movie right where like a child becomes president like first kid or something like there is there is jonathan taylor thomas or something yeah jtg like that. There is. Jonathan Taylor Thomas or some shit. Yeah, JTG. Does he become president? Or he just... Wasn't First Kid... Wasn't Sinbad the Secret Service detail in that movie? Well, either way, somebody needs to make this movie, and the first thing they would do,

the kid would do, is try and buy a new state, right? Isn't that how you would explain the powers of the presidency to a child? They can create new states. They can add new countries. They can buy a country. He's like, I want to make Mick World.

Right, exactly. It's the sort of thing that, yeah, if you were a kid and finding out about the presidency would be like, that would be awesome. So it makes sense that this is. Just the idea of you thinking nobody else has thought of this already. Right.

You know what I mean? It's like, yeah. Wait, nobody's touching this stuff? It's like, no, every piece of land is spoken for. It's like your shot was like maybe 120 years ago. Maybe. If then. Like that was the only time you could have been like, hey, can we buy this off you?

Now it's like, hold on. We're past that phase of our world history. Yeah. Imperialism. But who knows not the you know maybe he can make him a deal they can't refuse yeah he put i'm sure i'm sure he's working on it he's probably been like go back see what they want yeah was it we were too low always be closing double it double it that would be great if you just blew the budget. And then when all that ice melts, there's a shit there.

Right. Because that's the whole thing. It's a gamble. They're like, well, there could be. And based on the parts that they've explored, they're like, maybe. But I think most of it is under a three-kilometer thick sheet of ice. I mean, that's a thick sheet of ice. So it's almost two miles.

Yeah. It's like, I mean, well, who knows? I'm no math expert. But hey, at the rate we're fucking going the shit might be uh just minnesota is going to be the new florida and that's going to be where people go for vacation oh yeah florida's gonna have to move to canada yeah florida's gonna be uninhabited it's just gonna be alligators and roving gangs from... In Mar-a-Lago. Yeah, in Mar-a-Lago. Well, speaking of Trump being part of an old-timey empire, he has apparently anointed himself King of the Jews.

I'm King of the Jews! Yeah. He... I don't know what the... He's like... He's the Pope of Judaism. Jew Pope., he, he's the Pope of Judaism. Jew Pope. I'm sure he's going to change his handle soon. Because, okay.

On Tuesday, he did a real good job of, you know, dabbling in some more anti-Semitism. Yeah. When he said, in my opinion, if you vote for a Democrat, you're being very disloyal to Jewish people and you're being very disloyal to israel and only weak people would say anything other than that basically said that jews who vote for democrats either quote lack knowledge or show quote great disloyalty to the state yeah and we've heard this before yeah exactly and when a journalist asked him for comment they're like do you feel like that was an anti-semitic comment you meant he goes it was only anti-semitic in your head legitimately said that to a journalist being like how the fuck are you going to start because you know this loyalty thing it's like well we can that you know now we're setting up the well we can

take away your identity because if you're disloyal then we can strip you you're an enemy yeah exactly and again didn't didn't seem to make those dots because for him he's got like he's just in a panic on trying to get as many votes as possible and trying to find a base so i guess he thought he's like saying like well if you're jewish you gotta vote trump because you hate you hate yourself right i think he's setting himself up to be good even if he isn't president i think he's kind of in that mode where it's just like once again real estate you, keeping relations with people who buy into his bullshit. None of this is like, yo, I want to stick around for a lot longer in this position. Well, yeah.

I think he's starting to set it up for post-2020, which will be great. Well, the only thing that makes him want to stay in office is all the legal jeopardy he's in. Because once he becomes a regular guy yeah you know all bets are off and all those indictments can hit him like a fucking stack of phone books um but also i mean he is at his happiest when he's at a trump rally and like that goes away when he's no longer president right so that's true i i still just resign i just always think about that michael cohen testimony that he's he's not going anywhere if you even if Michael Cohen testimony that he's not going anywhere.

Even if he loses the election, he's not going anywhere. He's going to keep doing Trump rallies. Yeah, that's true. Regardless. Eventually, when he's passed away from eating too much McDonald's, there will be holographic Trump rallies, I'm sure, too. Oh, yeah, it's going to be. Like the Tupac hologram. Just people are like, oh, my God.

His body will lay in state and accept like it'll it'll probably be like a carnival like it'll go around the country they can just leave him there because he's probably so preservative laden like nothing would decompose at all decompose at all um but yeah so after that whole you know blowback because essentially what he was referring to with his like disloyalty comment was the fact that democrats are still defending most of them are defend you know ilhan omar and rashida talib and they're you know back and forth and you know rightful criticism of israel as an apartheid state and connecting that to like you see what democrats are not really good for jews they love me in israel and so this led to him tweeting this defense of why he is very chill with Jews.

This is basically what happened. I'll just read this tweet. Thank you to Wayne Allen Root for the very nice words. President Trump, this is so, so these are the words of Wayne Allen Root, who is a fucking conspiracy theorist, by the way. President Trump is the greatest president for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America. He is the greatest president for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world. Not just America. He is the best president for Israel in the history of the world. And the Jewish people in Israel love him like he's the king of Israel. They love him like he's the second coming of God. But American Jews don't know him or like him. What?

They don't even know. I can't even do the accent. What they're doing or saying anymore, it makes no sense. But that's okay. If he keeps doing what he's doing, he's good for all Jews, blacks, gays, everyone. And importantly, he's good for everyone in America who wants a job. And then his little ending comment is,

wow. Wow. Wow. Oh my God. Wait, Trump's ending was wow. End quote, and then wow. Oh my God. Yeah, he, I mean, again,

Wayne Allen Root, fucking conspiracy theorist who, first of all, was early in the Obama fucking birther situation. He believes that Seth Rich was killed by the fucking Clintons. He believes that Steven Paddock, the guy, the Vegas shooter, there was actually an ISIS attack. So this is who he's like. Oh, and the Charlottesville was set up by George Soros. Right. The murder, George Soros. Right. The murder. George Soros committed the murder on Heather Heyer.

Yep. So, you know, but again, that's who he has in his corner. I guess because Root is a Jewish person that he was like, well, that's all I need. Right. He's Jewish, right? Yeah. Okay, great. Ask your boy. Ask your boy.

He likes me. Check him out. All I need is one. Yeah. That's right. So it's just, again, like, he's. There's a lot. Check him out. All I need is one. Yeah. That's right. So just again, like, he's... There's a lot. It's weird.

It's starting... You're starting to even see pundits on TV, like, start to wonder what's going on here. With him? Yeah, they're like, just, damn, like, he can't even get this shit right. Yeah, it's... He set a challenge before his supporters to see how committed they can be to this thing. Right. And not show face on.

So the lady is like, Trump seems like he's getting younger. They're like, all right, I see you're a king of Israel and I'll raise you. He looks better now. Right. No, all of it is nonsense. He's gotten smarter. I mean, why wouldn't he look better when he has control over the time-space continuum as God? Right.

I can't believe he's quoting people saying he's a God. Well, it's funny because he has this guy saying he's the king of the Jews. I'm sorry. I think King David might have someone to say. Yeah. Somebody else was called king of Jews. I forget. Anyways.

You think king of alls from Howard Stern Show. No, I was talking about what they wrote above Jesus' cross. Oh, well, and then the other thing is, too, is there's Falun Gong, who is backing that conservative news site, Epoch Times. Right. And they also believe that they've said that Trump was sent from God to take down China because they're like a very fierce anti-communist group. And they also fund that wonderful performance. So Shen Yun.

So they have their hands all over it. So it's funny how all these different people see Trump for their own purposes. Like he's the king of the Jews. He's the man sent from God to fight Xi Jinping. But he's got a lot of crowns. Yeah. The common thread is God. Yeah.

At end times. Yeah, yeah, yep. That's really the thing. And I believe that part. Manifest destiny. Shen Yun, are you talking about the greatest live performance in the history of live theater? With horses and other stuff?

Remember it used to be Cavalia? Yeah, that's right. Do you remember that SNL sketch? There's like Cavalia, the greatest show of all. And it was just like trained horses, I think. Right. These horses bow. So that's part of a cult.

Yeah. Interesting. So I'm just saying, you know, he's got a lot of cool supporters. And I'm just saying it's amazing what you can do with a cult. I'm sure it is a good work of theater. Check it out. Yeah. I guess they would call this group a Chinese religious spiritual practice. Look, this episode is being brought to you by Shen Yun, but I'm just saying it's worth checking out, guys. I mean, you guys talked yesterday about how he is kind of trying to, like, what he's doing with the economy is a little troubling. I was thinking about that yesterday, even, like, while I was out, because I finished that book, Fear, by Woodward.

And it ends with somebody, I think it's Reince Priebus, talking about how he is pathologically and completely incapable of feeling empathy for people around him. And that kind of resonated with me when thinking about what he's doing with the economy. Because all the things he's doing are just, he's going to try and sugar high slash Nas from Fast and Furious his way through. Oh, not the rapper Nas. Right, not Lil Nas X. Not Nasty Nas. That's right. That's Nostradamus. He's just going to try and cheap high his way through the election

because he's heard that there might be a recession coming. Which is funny because on one hand he's like, no, the economy is so fucking strong you'd never fucking believe it. But he's also like, but I also need to hold off on the tariffs because that could hurt consumers and do all those other things. Which one is here? He's asking them to lower interest rates. He's pushing for a payroll tax cut, which

the last time that happened was 2011 when the U.S. was trying to dig its way out of a recession. And he's pushing for it now when the U.S. is at way out of a recession. And he's pushing for it now when the US is at the end of like a historic run of good luck and success economically. But all he cares about is how he looks heading into the 2020 election. Like God forbid he wins a second term and he like has a finite end date of his presidency. Or even if he loses and his finite end date of his presidency or even if he loses and his finite

end date is only like a few months out like he is going to fucking drive this thing as hard as he can until the wheels completely fall off like he has no regard for other human beings all he cares about is like you know his own reputation selfervation. Yeah. Like we are here to make him feel good about himself. What do you, what do you guys logically think a end, if his term ended or his reign of terror ended in January, 2020, what do you think?

Um, we'll call it the country looks like. And when he said reign of terror, I thought bathrobe spear. Um, I don't, I think he will be feeding conspiracy theories that he lost, like that he was cheated out of office. He'll be trying to get investigations started. There's going to be a huge media uproar on the right.

What about the streets? That's where I'm, yeah, that's where we'll really see. That's where I am. He's got to feed, because he's got to feed these maniacs that support him. He's already setting the table to act as if, if he loses, it's because he was cheated out of it. He's already seeding that narrative. So he's planting that seed now. So what happens is like, I told you.

He's like, y'all got to help me out. Take to the streets. I'm your president. Don't allow for this. But I don't know. At that point, I guess I will lose too much sleep trying to envision what that future looks like when it fully just devolves into this kind of like hyper-partisan violence in the street. Yeah. But keep in mind, any scenario would be better than him continuing this because it's

inevitable anyway. Right. Even if it was the second term, he's like, the constitution is out to get me. Right. Right. Yeah.

The 22nd amendment needs to be repealed and people will still get manslaughter. Or he could die of natural causes in office during his, during his fourth term. During his fourth term. Oh my god. Yeah, but if he dies during executive, like, you know, Stalin died because

people were too scared to go into his office because he was like, do not disturb me while I'm sleeping. And so his guards heard him hit the floor and making moaning sounds and they were just like, we're not going in there

like i think he's jerking off right yeah exactly he's killing himself but i can see that happening to trump too because he's uh because executive time you know you don't want to you don't want to fuck with him hey when you're in that bathrobe eating your burgers and diet coke watching fox he is a nightmare to work for man according to that book he is just a just the meanest person did you need that book though to tell you that no but like it's just it's just wild to like spend a little time inside that world and just like everybody's just so demoralized like immediately because he just shits on everybody like the second the second you start working i was like when i worked at the coach store at the mall.

Yeah. Was it terrible? Yeah. Terrible. So much drama. So much pitting the employees against each other. I just stopped going in. I actually didn't even quit that job.

I just stopped going in. And I think they owe me a paycheck still from 2008. I will be back for that. Yeah. Jen. I wonder what's the turnover rate. I need the numbers on that for this administration. I mean, it's beyond. Yeah.

It's the fastest ever. Yeah. I mean, Ryan. And there's so many vacancies. Right. Yeah. Ryan Sprevis seemed like he lasted a long time. He lasted almost the first full year of the presidency.

He had the shortest tenure up to that point of any chief of staff. Right. So the guy who seems like he lasted the longest for this presidency was a record for... It's unprecedented. Yeah. It's wild, is what it is. It's a weird, wild... It's wild.

We don't know wacky stuff. All right, we're going to take another quick break, and we'll be back with a bunch of lighthearted bullshit.

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 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.

Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. A couple quick things. Celebrities on Instagram failed a very helpful stupidity test two days ago. They reposted this Instagram hoax that people fell for like five years ago on Facebook. I think.

Yeah. Don't forget starts the new Instagram rule where they can use your photos. Don't forget deadline today. Right. Don't forget dead. That was like, what are y'all posting? Well,

it was grammatically incorrect. First of all, it can be used in court cases in litigation against you. Right. I don't know why it's a scam. It doesn't really, I don't know how they get your money from it it's just basically a it's a fucking chain chain yeah i guess chain mail is like the old school way of knowing that somebody's dumb but it does cost you a little bit of credibility

right oh yeah yeah well this thing was so odd because essentially like the scare tactic was that like instagram's gonna own every fucking thing you do on there and they can do whatever the fuck they want. Even deleted messages. That's all theirs. Fuck you. I hope you're scared. Yeah. But if you repost this image, that will be a legally binding contract that says you are opting out of this thing, which it's just on so many levels.

I was just seeing so many people like in my feed posting that same thing. And I'm like, you guys really don't even know how the legal system works. Do you think in court you were going to be like, my honor, exhibit A. Check this screen cap out from August 20th. I posted this. Hold on, let me get to it. Let me get to it. Okay, I can't post that.

Can't post that. Don't swipe. Don't swipe. Just me get to it. Okay, I can't post that. I can't post that. Don't swipe. Don't swipe. Just look at that, Judge. I mean, even Rick Perry, the fucking guy who is in charge of our nuclear arsenal, even got got by this. Oh, I thought he was making fun of people for posting it. No, he very much posted it.

And then later on, I was like, oh, no. Because people in his comments were like, hey, I'd love to introduce you to a nigerian prince i think you guys would get along very well right um and he just yeah later on was like whoops whoopsie doozy uh who cares let's just do a rundown of some of the people who uh yeah and by the way the other silly thing is them believing that anything will stop instagram from being able to use your photos they They own all that shit. They could do this. Nobody read that shit when they agreed. It's free, right? It's freaking accept, accept, accept.

I want to join in. Check, check, check, check. They can use your photos in ads for whatever the fuck they want. You could be the next cover model for Instagram and you wouldn't get a cent. But man, if they made it like a a national contest people would probably be like sick that would be some child's dream right to be that like when they grow up anyways real quick rundown of the dummies rob low uh who knew guy famous for playing dumb guys i don't know uh usher rita wilson julia roberts taraji p henson two chains scooter braun deborah messing judd apatow josh Oh. Usher, Rita Wilson, Julia Roberts, Taraji P. Henson,

2 Chainz, Scooter Braun, Debra Messing, Judd Apatow, Josh Brolin, and Adriana Lima. So nearly all those people are over 40 years old. Yeah, the ones who are not over 40 years old need to take a long look at themselves. I get those people because they don't get how that shit works. They see everybody else and they're like, oh. Right, like Julia Roberts has been famous since before the internet so she has always had a an assistant or a child who was like

doing all that shit for her you know and what two chains like 50 is he really yeah oh yeah he's 41 but yeah yeah i don't know if he's i don't know if he's lying Well that's what he was when he was in DTV And everyone's like I don't think this is it Titty Boy He's like give me a second How about 2 Chainz Hey what's that around your neck 2 Chainz 2 Chainz But I really like Titty Boy

Because I was 3 Titties And they wouldn't sign me as a rapper 3 Titty Boy Well Dancing with the Stars Because I was three titties, and they wouldn't sign me as a rapper. They ain't getting you. Three titty. Three titty boy. Well, Dancing with the Stars announced their new lineup, and it's interesting. So people were suggesting the rest of the cast walk off or refuse to go on the show because they booked Sean Spicer. Yeah. He's one of the dancers.

Ignoring the fact that Ray Lewis is one of the other dancers. Ray Lewis killed somebody. What'd he do? Yeah. Killed and snitched. Hey, we don't know, man. We don't? What happened to that tuxedo?

What happened to that? Yo, that, oh man. Those suits gonna have so much of that Beijing dye on them. Right. I can't wait until uh ray lewis gets on there and sweats his hairline out have you have y'all heard the theory about like why men win so much about like because it's a because capitalist patriarchy that well yeah well the the owners win but like just the fact that it's just coming in, you don't expect to see men graceful.

So like there's a skewed like advantage for men on the show. Right. Because dudes are dancing. Right. We don't expect that from a man. This guy, he's an athlete. He's like women, they're supposed to dance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You better be fucking the second coming of Misty Copeland. Yeah. You're going to fucking win this show. We're talking, Lamar Odom is one of the cast members, and I was- I was saying, I wouldn't be shocked if he's a good dancer. He was so graceful and smooth on the court. That wouldn't surprise me at all. I mean, I remember when Jerry Rice went on, and I was like, oh, look at Jerry Rice really

selling it. Yeah. Early on. One of the like, oh, look at Jerry Rice really selling it. Yeah. Early on. One of the greatest athletes of all time. Yeah, I guess that's the thing. Some of the best foot discipline the game has ever seen. Yeah. But Christy Brinkley, James Van Der Beek, Meredith from The Office, Kate Flannery.

Has Christy Brinkley aged yet? I doubt it. She looks exactly, last time I saw her, she looked exactly like she did when she was in the 80s. She's made some kind of deal with some kind of dark force. But you know what? Do what you got to do because I still love you, Christy. All right, guys, let's talk about chicken sandwiches. Yeah.

Let's talk about it. A few days back, Chick-fil-A was trending for being butthurt. They went to war. They went to war. They went to war. They were mad because they started being like, we don't care about other chicken sandwiches. We have the best. And people were like, hmm.

So the reason they were trending is because Popeye's had unleashed a new fried chicken sandwich that people were feeling. And so we went and got it, taste tested it uh miles got both of them i only got the spicy okay so they have a spicy and a regular yeah okay now i'm gonna say that i don't know if this is just really smart marketing and they like put a ton of money into making like a handful of the best chicken sandwiches ever made. And then like eventually it'll slowly get down to a level of quality that makes sense. But that sandwich was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had at Popeye's. Yo.

That you've ever had at a Popeye's? No, that was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Across the board. Across the board. I won't go that far. That's how far I'd go. I would say it's better than, the spicy is better than Chick-fil-A's spicy. But this is the difference, right?

And these are the, if you saw on my social media, I gave a whole rundown of what I thought the advantages were. Okay. The crunch factor is by far Popeye's has that shit by fucking miles. But then the quality of the chicken inside was Chick-fil-A-esque. The spice of the Chick-fil-A spicy, that knocks a little bit harder. It hits harder. But the Popeye's altogether, a good combination. It's also the thickness of the pickle.

The brioche bun. Yes. Yes. And also, our LGBTQ people don't have to take an L every time I buy one of those Popeye's. Right. And I think that's really what's motivating, at least for me. I'm like, yeah, I need to find something where I can still satisfy my chicken sandwich cravings and also not feel completely conflicted as I've had to slowly, you know,

put my Taco Bell love on a simmer a little bit. But either way, I think there were just also value. I could inhale a Chick-fil-A sandwich. Like I could eat three if I was ordering from a window. I'm like, I need three sandwiches. Right. By the second one I ate, I was like, this is fucking – it's robust. And cheaper.

Yeah. Cheaper than a Chick-fil-A sandwich. By 16 cents. I mean, this sounds like an ad. Hashtag advertisement. This and – what was the horse show called? Oh, Cavalia? Cavalia

The greatest show ever? Yeah Or Shenyang, up to you Shenyang But yeah, I don't know Have you had the Popeye's chicken sandwich? I haven't had it I haven't been able to

Well, first of all, they told me it wasn't in LA yet And then I just haven't There's the one by my house in Eagle Rock They don't have it yet Oh, really Eagle Rock. They don't have it yet. Oh, really? Yeah, they don't have it yet. Our guest host yesterday, Lacey Mosley, she went to two Popeyes,

and they were sold out. And I think by the third one, she was able to get one because I think people were just so interested. Yeah. Well, that's why I'm wondering, did they just make a handful of chicken sandwiches at a loss, just making them like having

you know some great chef make them and then like knowing that it would be a viral moment for Popeyes I don't know about that if if

if Popeyes could get some waffle fries in that Popeye fry batter oh then it's nothing else to talk about the Cajun waffle fry a Cajun waffle woohoo

that would be very good. Wow. Game over. Wow. Drop the fucking bomb. I'm already saying game over. Assuming they can keep this level of quality up, the level of quality I had the other day. But I think the only thing that would motivate somebody to even entertain the Popeye's sandwich

is that you actually are looking at Chick-fil-A's business and how they operate as a company. And that would even open you. Because there are, I mean, I look at Twitter, there are people who are like, fuck out of here with that Popeye's. Like, it's Chick-fil-A all day for some people, because they don't really give a fuck. Did they try it? Yeah, there have been people that tried it.

All of those people are below the Mason-Dixon line. Exactly. You know what I mean? That's a Southern loyalty thing. But I did see on Twitter, somebody posted that they ordered from Popeye's and they said to cashier say my pleasure and it's like whoa are y'all changing customer service too right right if popeyes gets chick-fil-a customer service right come on yeah yeah yeah and like being

considerate at a popeyes yeah i ain't going back whoa i ain't going back to chick-fil-a but i am yeah and then the social justice part. Come on, y'all. And also, yeah, I had to point out that the current person who is the chairman of the company that owns Popeyes, which owns like Tim Hortons and a few other things, he is like graduated with some kind of science degree, is very interested in science, donates to like Democratic candidates in Florida, but they don't really Necessarily lobby

As a company But when you look at His donations Or his output It's not It's not going to the right I mean we all get Popeyes on Sunday anyway

So just Stretch it out For the rest of the week At the same time The sexual politics Of Bluto And olive oil

Right Were a little bit Problematic Yep So I'm just saying. That's another layer. Uh-huh. I just wish Pioneer Chicken was still here to enter this argument.

Yeah, there were people bringing in all sorts of... Somebody was telling us that Publix with an X has the best chicken sandwich. That's a grocery chain. A lot of Bojangles love. Yeah, a lot of Bojangles love. But come on, we're going to talk about problematic. Right. Yeah, fucking Bojangles.

Bojangles. Wait, wait, wait, guys. Have we considered Bojangles? Yeah. Have you been to Mammy's? Look, if you feel guilty about eating a Chick-fil-A, come on down to Shiny Faces. We got the best. Jesus Christ.

Come to Golly's. The fucking crows from Dumbo. They got another fucking new restaurant Oh man That's too much of a local restaurant But Indiana Beach used to have this black crow That was very like Problematic

On the level of the WB frog Oh wow There's more than corn It was very very troubling Well speaking of Problem problematic our woke king mr uh bagel boss himself yucks or what what's his what's his new name chris morgan well okay so because he was known as bagel boss guy he was going around being like it's bagel boss guy bagel boss guy he then signed a contract i think he's fighting Lenny Dykstra in a boxing match in Atlantic City.

Oh, RIP, Chris Morgan. I don't think, I mean, I don't know what kind of shape Lenny Dykstra's in. Not good and still RIP. But I still think he will fold you up. But because of all of this branding with Bagel Boss, the actual company hit him with a cease and desist, and they're like, you have to stop referring to this person as Bagel Boss Guy. Stop referring to yourself.

We have nothing to do with your misogynistic outburst you had in one of our stores. So now he has to go by Chris the Angry Bagel Guy Morgan. That doesn't have his – that don't even slap. That don't even slap like Bagel Boss Guy. That is not catchy at all, but it does show some self-awareness on his part that he's just like the angry bagel guy. Right. And I mean, he's trying to make this 15 minutes into about 16 minutes. And he has got merch.

He's been on a bunch of radio shows. He's got, like I said, the boxing match. And he's even on that app Cameo where you can book celebrities to send you a selfie message. So for 50 bucks, the Bagel Boss guy will give you a personal tongue lashing or whatever the fuck you ask for. He got the hot girlfriend, supposedly, who likes him for him. This is where it gets odd because I started checking on his Instagram stories and the shit that he posts on his Instagram post-Bagel Boss fame. And it's been this fucking bizarre ride where, I don't know, because his status has somewhat been elevated, it's only contributed more to his toxic idea of how courtship works.

Because if you remember in the shop, very, very, very sincerely and candidly, he was just basically like, he just basically said, women fucking don't like me. Fuck women. I don't get what the fuck is wrong with these women. You're laughing at me. So when you look at some of the stories he's posting, he has, it's only gotten fucking worse. So this first clip is him around the time he's feeling himself. He's doing a selfie video at nine at night.

He's about to, he says he's going to go on a fishing trip, and he's looking just for somebody to pull up because he's famous. How I work is I try to be nice to a girl. Then they somehow screw me over in some way or another. I just show one of my promoters all the text, and I try to be nice. And so now I'm going to bluntly put it to you. I want to fuck. So here's the deal. Hit me up on my Instagram.

Chris Bagel Boss Morgan. I'm going to be getting on a fishing boat. It's July 19th, correct? 19th. It's 915. I'm going to be getting on a boat fishing. I'm going to be back in about four or five hours. Make sure you say that you're from Long Island and preferably Suffolk County because that's the area

I'm in. I'm tired and I'm tired to get my heart broken. So I'm pissed. Basically he's like, I want to fuck. He's like, I got weed if you want to party. Also, he says that he's treating women like his postmates for real. He's saying it's nine at night. I'll get off a fishing boat in about

four or five hours. So he thinks his celebrity, his magnetic energy, his pull is so great that he could say, at two in the morning, my manager's DMs will be flooded with women saying, I'm from Suffolk County and want to fuck Bagel Boss guy after his boat ride. Even worse, he thinks it's women from outside of Suffolk that are just driving in in droves. So he has to specify. Like, no, let's make it easy. You got to be on Avenue A and 16th or whatever.

And there's been other videos of him. Like, he's like been on a date. Like, I don't know what's going on. There's like a woman trying to get in his car. And he's like, oh, he's like, I thought you don't want to be with me. She's like, let me in. It's like, it's raining or whatever. And he just like drives off, like strands this woman.

And he's like, ha ha. Then you see see him even on these are the videos he's posting it's not like someone's catching him in the wild this is the content he puts on his page this is another one where he's just like talking to a woman and again he's accusing her of playing fucking games or some shit and then even after that i asked how you were doing when you blocked me again and then you unblocked me and now you're fucking sending stupid shit to me let me tell you something if you don't like me okay or i'm not your type why the fuck do you keep texting me like all these other stupid bitches see this is this this man is who you thought he was right but and but it's weird because he like tries to play this like weird celebrity thing

and like sort of seemingly like a cool guy and then you realize this is why you are yeah so I hope Lenny Dykstra fucking folds his ass up he will

and I mean it's just sad if a woman actually does take him off because a 45 year old diabetic who's that mad and I'm a diabetic

so I can talk about my people that dick is gonna be so trash. I mean, like, even if you're into it, it's going to be disappointing. So his levels of abuse against women knows no bounds. Oh, he's so mad all the time. All the time.

But that's like, but it reminds me of how Trump is referring to the prime minister of Denmark. He's like, why the fuck would you call that absurd? I'm not going now. You could have just said fucking no. You know what I mean? It's the same fucking energy, right? When you're like, you could have just said fuck.

Like your masculinity is so fucking fragile. You know what I mean? That if someone just doesn't go, oh, I'm sorry, trash. You didn't say it the right way. Sorry, trash. It's a no for me, trash daddy. And his version of of because he was complaining that women keep fucking with his head i'm guessing that is people not immediately having

sex with him that is basically what i'm also i'm also up for women who are fucking trolling him too oh hell because you know what this is this is the fucking energy you're putting out so this is what you are going to attract sir sir. Yeah, we want to keep seeing you get mad. Right. You're ruining it if you get what you want. He claims in another video these two women said, let's meet at a casino only for their drunk uncle to be there with him who tried to fight him.

Oh. So I don't know. Yeah, I mean, it's not great. Like, nothing about this is good. Like, the fact that he came to our attention in the first place is like one of the darker parts of the internet. Like our culture right now. Right.

The fact that somebody like this can become famous for being the worst person. And he's got his rooting for Lenny Dykstra. Right. Yeah, right. Like, I never thought that would happen dykstra man didn't he like he fell off hard right like didn't he get his didn't he get sober and then like had car washes and then that business went like he he was he did something illegal that magazine thing was crazy yeah athletes locker room scam. Oh, boy. Yeah, he falls for and perpetuates a lot of things

that you should be able to see through his scams. Right. And also is, you know, struggling with addiction. Shout out to those fucking promoters. Is the promoter of that fight just fucking Satan? You know what I mean? He's like, come, you poor fucking souls. Dance for me, you fuck.

I know, man. Where is it? Is it in Atlantic City? Of course it's in AC, maybe. Trump Hotel. It's like the show boat or steamboat something. Oh, man. It's almost worth going to see if the earth just opens and swallows.

Yeah, a black hole just develops. Oh, what a dark, dark. How long does that fight last? How long you give it? Will it make it a whole round? It seems like he's probably going to run away, the bagel guy. Chris the Angry Bagel Guy. Is it going to happen?

Like, I'm curious to see. I need to see a photo of Lenny Dykstra. Oh, wow. TMZ has a clip of Lenny Dykstra beginning his fight training. How's he looking? I mean, his arms look thick, bro. Yeah. I feel like if he gets one.

They used to call him Nails. Right. Because he, like, could eat nails. Great. Then maybe he should be fine with a guy who's named after a bagel. Right. Bagel, tiny bagel man versus nails. Let's look at the two nicknames.

Chris the Angry Bagel Guy and Nails. Blaney Dykstra is like 5'6". His hand speed isn't great. No. And his elbow is telegraphing that jab. Wow. And he almost fell while swinging. With a left hook.

Okay. You know, I think maybe the fight will last 15 seconds and they both have heart attacks. You're right. So we just watched the TMZ video. Lenny Dykstra looks like he's been aging at a rate of 15 years per year. 15 years per year, yeah. Yeah.

He's aging in dog years. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you have a baseball player, again, who is fucking Lenny Dykstra versus the guy who got famous from being angry at a bagel shop. He was nails, though. He looks like he smoked everything. Everything. He smoked all the chemicals.

That's copper wiring, Lenny. Don't give a fuck. Eat it. Eat it. Yeah. He just smoked down a lead pipe. Yeah. All right.

Well, Clark, it's been a pleasure having you, man. This has been really, really fun, man. I'm glad we got to do it. Where can people find you? At the Clark Jones on everything. At the Clark Jones on Twitter. Damn, you were on that early. Twitter, Instagram, all of that.

Did we do our favorite tweets? No, we're about to. Oh, man, I shot the gap. Is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Is there? Yeah. Yo, this tweet, man, it's so simple, and it's so cerebral, and it just made me laugh.

But my boy Cullen, here's his at hello Cullen. He said, Shania Twain's real name is Shemmanuel Clemens. I saw that. I like that too. You know when you laugh so hard you got to put your phone down? That's what Shemmanuel Clemens. That's what that did for me. It's a time-tested formula, and he just made all the parts work together.

Oh, man. Right. Shout out to Mark Twain. Shout out to the great Mark Twain. They've never done a biopic about him. Yeah. Really? Yeah.

It's never happened. But they have done that one play where one guy just gets dressed up as Mark Twain and tells stories in a Southern accent. Oh, it's like a one-man show? Yeah, it's like a one-man show that I remember seeing when I was a kid. Miles, where can people find you? Find me and follow me on Twitter and Instagram at MilesOfGrey. A couple tweets I like.

One is from a listener, actually, Lexi at Alexandria Digby. You tweeted, Caitlin Durante and I, an anagram story. And this is, you know, we like anagrams. And Caitlin Durante,

her name is one of the most flexible names for anagrams. You know, she's fucking Latin dancer, UTI, nine tit Dracula. She has some of the best anagram names. But this one is from another tweet from Neil Drysdale that says, I've been making up crosswords for more than 30 years and I

still think it's a near miracle that Britney Spears is an anagram for Presbyterians. So put that one down. Another one is from Matt Visor at M Visor. This is more of a political one, but just again, it's about Joe Biden. And I just like how this whole tweet is composed.

Biden says he's not worried about large crowds his progressive rivals are getting. Quote, what I'm trying to do is go around from town to town. And I'm drawing as big of crowds, bigger than anybody. Have you seen anybody draw bigger crowds than me here in this state? Yes, he's told. Sit the fuck down. Did you see the quote from his wife who was oh yeah she was just it was just real like you know people people go out to see these other people but the thing is you got to remember is that my husband's polling well essentially was what it was it It was just like electability.

All the ways he's trash. But it was like, yeah, you may like people more. They may know more about healthcare. Maybe more equipped, and they may not be senile, but he'll be Trump. It's like, actually, Lenny Dykstra's polling better than fucking Trump right now.

Pixelated Boat tweeted, you should vote for my husband, Joe Biden. Lower sunglasses. Who sucks shit, by the way. As a recap of that. Who sucks shit. PJ Boat from Reply All

tweeted, Woke up with the unnerving realization that no one on earth is falling for the trick of saying nice to see you when you're not sure if you've met them before. And that bothers me. I've always said nice to see you and assumed it was working. And then Anna Dresden, one of the funniest writers, tweeted, sex feels like a monumental overreaction.

Oh, shit. Yeah, there was another. Oh, shit. Yeah. There was another sex one, too. I want a healthy relationship with toxic relationship sex. Man, that was possible. Isn't that the ideal? Isn't that Eden? That's the dream.
