It's Tuesday, May 28, 2019. My name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. For the bemused, confused, and intimidated, it's the Jackintosh 128 Bay. That's a line for the advertising for the 128K computer, courtesy of one Christy Yamaguchi man. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray!

La, la, la, la, wait till I get my daily zeit. I had a dream I could find my way to heaven. When I awoke, I spent that on McBreakfast. Okay, that was also from Christy Yamaguchi, man. Because y'all know Also Warning to all the McBreakfast fans

Who like the all day Breakfast menu They are allowing Certain franchises To limit their menu So you know Just keep an eye out For that

You might not always Be able to get Your artery clogging Goodness and high Blood pressure fuel On demand like you used to Does that How do you think

The breakfast compares In terms of Artery cloggingness To the Like to a lunch there? What would you say? Oh, yeah, probably the same shit. I feel like I'm basically eating a salad when I'm eating the Egg McMuffin. Oh, in your mind?

Because breakfast can't be bad for you. Even if I'm eating that double stack where it's just like three sausage patties, two eggs, nine pieces of cheese. I mean, shit. Salt is good for you, right? Yeah, salt is good. I like my diet to be comprised, you know, at least 65% of sodium. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a returning guest, the hilarious comedian and activist, Mr. Derek Lemos. Oh, hello, guys, gals, and non-binary pals.

How are you? Oh, I love it. I'm solid. Thank you for having me back. This is like a three-peat. Congratulations on the 400th episode. Thank you. Something like that.

We could be off by two. We don't do it like those other podcasts where they make a big deal and get a special guest. We kind of like on the morning, Anno go, I think this might be 400. We're like, oh, all right. Oh, cool. Cool. Wow. Or 402. We kind of like on the morning, and I'll go, I think this might be 400. We're like, oh, all right. Oh, cool. Cool.

Wow. Or 402. We don't know. You know, it doesn't matter because we're not keeping score. Score is about the equality around the world

and that score is not even yet. We're the Kawhi Leonard's of this podcast shit. We just put up numbers and don't make a big deal about it. Very workmanlike. I love that. Because like after every,

every sport event, like it doesn't matter what it is. I don't know why we're still doing post interviews with athletes. So can you tell me a little bit about the game? Like it's the same. The interview with Kawhi Leonard at the end of the game at the end of last week was the like, yes, they're all really bad, but that was the worst. He's just like, she was like, so what do you, what are you thinking going in?

Your one went away from the finals. He's like, I don't know, man. I haven't even been back to the locker room. I was like, yeah, we just saw you play the game. Yeah, it was like, you know, we just try to have a really good game out there and just play hard, give 110%. It's like, you're never going to get anything different. It's amazing that they can go from doing something so ingenious and high energy

to then getting in front of the camera and just being the least interesting, most bored human beings in the history of television. You could probably do – remember when Sinclair Broadcasting made all those anchors say the same thing? Yeah. Like, just do all these post-game things and the overlapping moments are like – Yeah, I mean, we just had to work as a team on that one. Right. You know, we had to grind it out in the fourth quarter, but I think in the end moments are like, yeah, we just had to work as a team on that one. We had to grind it out

in the fourth quarter, but I think in the end we came through. Our shooting improved a lot. I do admire Kawhi Leonard, though, because he is the norm core of that interview. He goes out of his way. He doesn't even put those talking points together. He's just like, what's a word that I

can say here? How's that? You should just go like, you saw the game, right? Right. Can I shower and then I'll come talk to you? Does that work? Or even when somebody does say something interesting, it's just like, I'm just here so I don't get a fine. Like, that is the realest, truest shit ever.

That is the best. Shout out to Beast Mode. Yeah. All right. We are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment, Derek. First, we're going to take our listeners through a couple of things we're talking about today. The fans declare

victory in the Sonic Wars. Yeah, Sonic is back to... The hedgehog, not the driver. Right. They are pushing the release so that they can make a Sonic that makes everybody happy. Yeah, fine. We just found out about a movie that I'm very excited about

that we'll talk about, the Between Two Ferns film. We're going to talk about another peek behind the curtain of a Tony Robbins motivational seminar. We are going to talk about the president's going just full rogue, loose cannon, Mel Gibson and lethal weapon on uh his quest to investigate the investigators you know fascist autocrat right yeah yeah uh and nancy pelosi being made to look drunk at the end of last week and rudy giuliani being actually drunk uh we're gonna have a special segment that we're calling what we're fucking with

just stupid shit that we're talking about and enjoying around the office or just things we won't stop playing over and over and laughing and people like jokes that are stuck in our head and then we're gonna talk about the National Enquirer Museum which is a waking nightmare

yeah but first Derek we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are or where you are? I had to look up a YouTube history, and it's just full of John Malkovich clips. Okay. Like, Interview with the Vampire, being John Malkovich.

It doesn't matter what character he's playing. It's always just him being John Malkovich. It doesn't matter what character he's playing. It's always just him being John Malkovich. I feel like anyone who writes a script, they just know it's like, this is Malkovich, basically. And he has the most spot on inflection and diction. Yes. And he speaks very slowly and it's just like oh i love it but i hate it at the same time right he sounds like a dude who's gonna have like a fit at a mcdonald's order encounter right like just his cadence is like that of a person's like trying

to keep it together i was told that the cutoff time for breakfast was 10.30. It is 10.28 and you are refusing to serve me a McGriddle. Do you know what this is? I would like to speak with a manager. A manager now. I have a plastic gun that I snuck past security.

That was his thing in the line of fire. I remember being very confused as a kid. I was like, that's a gun? Yeah, man. But hey, you know, just need that firing mechanism. What is something you think is overrated? Civility, I think. Okay.

Just like this idea that it's like, oh, guys, we have to keep everything calm. Things are crazy and out of control. And the more we just acknowledge that, like that in itself is being like, no, no, no, we're not going to make this be normal. Like, you know, six migrant kids have died. Like there are plenty of victims of Nazis and fascists. And we're still desperately trying to like, no, no, no, everything's fine. Everything's fine. Everything's fine.

And it's like, no, it's not OK, guys. You can say that and you're not being inflammatory. You're not being dramatic. Like you're observing. We are all living in this hellscape and it's OK to be like, hey, this is this is crazy. Right. I'm not alone in this. Right.

Yeah. Well, civility is sort of like the defense mechanism conservatives like to deploy when they're being taken to task over their support of this president or the party or the policies and that them being like, how could you support them? Like, can we just be a little more civil about this? Can we just really have a civil conversation? That's Meghan McCain's blood type is

civility. Because she's on the view being like, I just think it's really unfair. It's like, no, motherfucker, because you aligned yourself with this bullshit, so this is what comes with it well i think it's unfair that you haven't accomplished anything but yet you're given a platform yeah right hey but you know it's it's look dc is just like hollywood baby yeah true story nepotism baby all around but i think also but civility i think if we're talking about civility how about we're treating people with civility right you know what i mean other human beings yeah just letting them if we're really about civility then let's look at these policies and you tell me where

the civility is do we look are we operating like a civilized society absolutely does banning abortion is that civil to people who can be pregnant like no right and the the i think the broader point is too just like you can it makes people uncomfortable like, hey, look, this is not cool. And we all, I would hope, we're not all, you know, narcissists. We're laying in bed at night just like thinking about all the mistakes that we've made and all like, oh, man, that was a really dumb thing that I did. Or, oh, man, I was such an idiot. When I was seven. Yeah. Or even like four years ago, I still think about all the dumb shit that I did.

Yeah, yeah. All the gross things that you know like i believe and it's like you know i am capable of doing better and it makes me want to do better because it's like when you lose friendships or people like hold you accountable to things it's like no dude you you're better than this come on you know better right it really implants that seed in somebody else's brain it's like well am i am? This person I know and trust and love thinks I'm being an asshole. Maybe I'm being an asshole. We can all be better.

Yeah. Just trying to, seeking comfort and being, I mean, it's perfectly natural, but it's not, we don't all deserve comfort. And if shit is going wrong in your in your society like just being like god i just can't take this news cycle and stopping paying attention yeah is not the move so that news cycle shows up at your door right uh what is something you think is underrated uh this is a new this is a new development milkshakes yeah yeah delicious delicious snack and also a tool to fight fascism yeah i love it yeah there

was some twitter poll that was like who's done more to fight fascism liberals or milkshakes yeah you know a lot of people don't especially i mean like like i guess true sort of neoliberal type people who are like i guess fashion i'm not dealing with that yet. Yeah. I'm looking at this other version. Yeah. Of what is fucked up. But yeah, the milkshakes have people shook. After Nigel Farage got hit that first time, he had another bus stop he had to do. And the man had to hide in his bus.

And the way that it was framed was so funny. It's like, Nigel Farage is being held hostage by milkshakes. Like, that should be carved into his headstone. Right. Held hostage by milkshakes. Yeah. It makes you look like you just got shit on by the biggest bird in existence. Unless you're extremely lactose intolerant where you will just explode if milk touches your skin.

Right. Like, you are not being held hostage by milkshakes. Yeah. No, you are being held hostage by the threat of you looking like a skin. Right. Like you're not being held hostage by milkshakes. Yeah. No, you are being held hostage by the threat of you looking like a fool. Yes. And that's your ego is actually holding you hostage. A writer, J.M. McNabb,

looked into the origins of the milkshake attack and found that it was just sort of a spur of the moment thing where some hateful politician in the UK, do you remember that dude's name? Oh. Like far right. Tommy, what's his face? Was harassing a... Tommy Robinson, I think, right? Yeah, was harassing an Islamic guy, and the guy happened to be holding a milkshake and

just was like... Here, have that. Here, have a sip. Because he was physically threatening him, so it was like a defense, because he was physically threatening him so i mean it was it was like a a defense and he started trying to like punch the guy and beat him up but he just kind of walked away yeah um and then later that day somebody else threw a milkshake in the air it was just like so perfect that people were like oh yeah this is yeah it was like if you're not gonna throw a molotov throw a milkshake yes. We'll get to Molotovs eventually.

But right now milkshakes are fine. And, you know, milkshake 2020. Yeah. And also people might not realize this, but McDonald's milkshakes are extremely flammable. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not milk in that one. That's basically petroleum. It's all the preservatives.

Right. It's napalm, basically. What is a myth? What's something that people think is true you know to be false? And I know I'm bringing this up because my mom does it a lot where she's like, you know, you know, son, like you need to respect everybody's opinion. I'm like, no, you don't. Right. No, you don't.

Because like if I like that James Baldwin quote, it's like we can have differences of opinion. But if your opinion is rooted in my oppression or dehumanization, then no. And that is fundamentally what I believe. Like it is fine. We can disagree about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. It does. Uh,

or whether, or whether cake or pie is better. Those are fine. Or what sports team, uh, you know, as I'm getting older, I have more of an appreciation for pie just because cake is – It was more fun as a kid. Cake.

Yeah. Every time. It's like art. You know what I mean? I've been like – I respect the pie more now, you know, as I get older as well. You know, these are interesting times. Back to – not to take the steam out of what you're saying, which is a very good point. Yeah.

Like little characteristics in the things we enjoy are fine but fundamental differences in whether or not you think somebody deserves equal rights is like is not okay right and you don't have to respect that yeah and this i i feel like usually white men tend to use this as a as an opportunity to be like, yeah, then why can't I say the jokes that I think are funny? Or why do you guys have to look at Green Book and criticize it? That is an example of where your ideals, in a way that might not be evident to you, are enforcing oppression.

You're kind of communicating oppression in a way that isn't evident to you, but it's evident to people around you. Yeah, absolutely. Or even more recently, like the abortion debate, you know, a lot of dudes were like, well, I thought it was no, no uterus, no opinion. It's like, okay, look, you can have an opinion, but is your opinion helping or hurting the people who are most impacted by these laws? And if they're hurting, then you need to shut up. Well, it's hurting those clumps of cells that I've defined as a sovereign citizen of the United States. Who are the most important people to me.

Yeah, companies can be citizens. Zygos can be citizens. Right. Black people and migrants, not so much. Trans people, no. Not so much No Trans people No Not so much Gay people

No Hmm Hmm I wonder if there's something to that No And that's racist Right Is that my other favorite thing

And we'll get to some other Interesting defenses too Now that's racist No that's racist That's racist That's reverse racism Right Reverse racism

I'm You know Shout out to Twitter For people realizing That old one doesn't work They found new ways To describe reverse racism But I remember to Twitter for people realizing that old one doesn't work. They found new ways to describe reverse racism. But I remember in the 90s and early 2000s, that was the cool debating

tactic. Well, that's like reverse racism. What about white chicks, dude? What about white chicks? Why can't I? If they did that, what about white chicks? I'm in the process of talking to the Wayans Brothers now, so we can figure out how to square that away. Guys, let's get into equally important news.

They have decided to push back the release of Sonic. It was supposed to be this summer? Yeah, or sometime this year. I forget. Sometime this year. I blacked out watching it. Now it is one of those giant culture-changing moments that's going to happen in the year 2020. They have pushed it back to February 2020.

We'll all be in the thick of the election. And, yeah, we'll also be paying attention to Sonic the Hedgehog. I guess, yeah, the director was tweeting, just like, look, I hear you. You're upset by the design. We are going to do better. And that was at the beginning of the month. And then today, it was a hand-drawn sign of clearly Sonic holding a thing that's like, February 2020.

We'll get rid of the wacky teeth and make the eyes nice. What are his eyes going to look like? Probably more like that big goggle eye. Right. Everyone was like, why the fuck isn't it just like Sonic looked? One eye, two pupils. Yes. Motherfucker.

I know Sonic's thing is supposed to be, you gotta go fast, but the creators went too fast. Right. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Way too fast. Just pump the brakes and get the look right. When it first came out, I wasn't as upset because I never had Sega Genesis, so I didn't have the same affection for the character that some people do.

Were you ascending us? Yeah, yeah. And when I asked my mom if I had Genesis, she's like, you have Super Nintendo. And I'm like, yeah, but see, the X-Men game isn't on that shit, and I want that because I want to play it as Gambit. Are you hearing me? And she basically threw the Mario Paint mouse on the floor. She was like, that's your new game. Mario Paint was not that good, but look,

I made it work. Well, at least you didn't have to deal with the terror of Sonic 2 in the underwater levels and running out of air. Yes, I remember that. Okay, so my neighbor had it. Yeah. Boy. And I only played it because you

know miles tails right so but yeah you when you couldn't find one of those air bubbles man whoo yeah that's when you learned what true terror was because i was method about that i would hold my breath while he couldn't breathe you know oh that's why you take a breath oh yeah because you have that scar on your forehead yeah when you down in front of your TV. Yeah, that scar. I appreciate you acting like there's only one. The ones that are numbered, I remember. So we've also learned about another coming attraction. Between Two Ferns is going to be a movie somehow.

I mean, yeah. The last time, the last time, uh, there was a work of comedy that I was confused how they were going to translate it into a movie. Uh, it was MacGruber and it ended up being one of my favorite movies. Uh, so I'm excited about this because you have to get inventive to turn a format into a feature length.

Especially something that's so rigid. Right. Where it's like, this is what this thing, this bit is just, it's just literally between two ferns going off the rails. But, and it already sounds like it's meta, meta, meta, meta version of it. The description as Netflix has released it says, Zach Galifianakis dreamed of becoming a star, but when Will Ferrell discovered his public access TV show, Between Two Ferns, and uploaded it to Funny or Die, Zach became a viral laughing stock.

Now Zach and his crew are taking a road trip to complete a series of high-profile celebrity interviews and restore his reputation. Directed by Scott Ackerman, Between Two Ferns, the movie is a laugh out loud comedy. Anyway. Never heard of the director, but it sounds like it's going to be good. Yo.

Whoa, whoa. Shots fired here, Wolf. Anyway, so- Never heard of the director, but it sounds like it's going to be good. So- Yo. Whoa, whoa. Shots fired, Earwolf. Now he's never going to come on the show. It's okay. We have agents infiltrating Earwolf. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so the deal is I think the show, I think the movie will just be a lot of cool between two ferns bits with connective tissue of stuff before and after the recordings,

maybe? I guess. Seems like that's what it's going to be. Would it just be funny if it was just one after another, like an anthology? Or just a 90-minute interview. Long-form interview.

With Mark Maron. With a three-minute silent pause for awkwardness. It was the funniest moment. They were just exchanging looks for three minutes. I couldn't believe it. But as you said, Miles, all hail deficit spending. Yeah.

Because, man, Netflix spending that cheese. It's like they know money doesn't matter. Right. Yeah. And I think that's good because things are going to get approved that wouldn't normally get approved. Yeah. That we're going to get approved that wouldn't normally get approved. Yeah, yeah. That we're going to see some new ground broken.

Also, Netflix, fucking holler at us. Yeah, dude. I mean, at this point, where the fuck is our TV show? Daily Zeitgeist. Yeah, I mean, Desus and Mero have one. Right. You guys deserve one. Well, Desus and Mero, they deserve it. I'm the biggest Bodega Hive fan.

They're great. If you haven't heard constantly me referencing all their drops. But yes, they're great. And I love that their show's not twice a week but i need showtime so i'm watching like uh you know i'm finding ways on mega upload things like that yeah we gotta get the system i gotta get the uh showtime plug-in or the showtime login we got the plug i know super producer anahose is like i had it but when we were first talking about it you were silent yeah you didn't you didn't uh those cars close to the chest because there's also the wu-tang of mics and men which yes uh is such a bad title that i i actually love it if if it were like of

mice and men which wu-tang member would be lenny i mean it would be odb right huh well i guess well let's think about i mean i guess then we have to take apart how we saw lenny right and then is odb was he someone who was simple-minded did not understand his true power yeah i i think so i think he was just like pure primary process just like you're seeing the inside of somebody's so completely unselfconscious uh you can't help but love him like doesn't understand how amazing he is what about who would be Curly

Curly? yeah probably RZA didn't Curly have the gloves with the Vaseline he slept in yeah Curly was the dude who was running the shit and then there's Curly's wife right right who would be Method Man, Cur shit oh there's curly's wife right right and george

would be method man curly's wife curly's okay i'm just saying very and that's the t uh what about who would be george uh that that's who i was thinking of yeah yeah okay i fuck with that yeah uh or you would have uh george and lenny being uh ray and Ghost because they're like the duo that are actually super tight. That makes sense. And then I would say Ghostface would be Lenny because his flows are way more stream of... I don't know.

He's on some next shit. I'm constantly on Rome. I'm Sprint or some shit. I remember. Call me Sprint because I'm always on Rome. Something was like a line. Yeah. That would be amazing if I finally get the Showtime login and it's just them reenacting of Mice and Men. But I've heard that's not what it is. It's a really dope documentary.

Anyway. Or even if they use that as a drop-in, like, teach me about the rabbits, George. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Steinbecks, enter the 36 chambers yeah all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back definitely caruana galizia was a maltese investigative journalist who on october 16th 2017 was murdered there are crooks everywhere you look now.

And we're back, and I kind of admire what BuzzFeed is doing in their battle with Tony Robbins, because every time he's like, they're just flat making stuff up. They're just like, okay, we're going to release another thing that is going to make you look real bad. Let me go through my wallet really quick.

Oh, here's a receipt. the n-word 10 times in like a minute in a story about how he won over a audience of black men who were like mad and thought he was being racist because all his examples of success were white people and he was like so i told using the N-word and he literally uses it and then explains how, like, by doing that and forcing them to confront their anger about racism, he brought them around. Yeah. This is so humiliating. So he's really using that Candace Owens victim. And he's like, and guess what? I'm going to call you the N word.

Yes. Because, and that's not you being offended or me bringing up years of oppression and racism. Right. That's you. That's you actually taking on a victim mentality. Right. That's just your mentality.

You're letting that word control you. Oh, okay. And therefore. Yes. And by the end, guys, wait. So you think that he's not on the right track. And by the end guys wait. So you think that he's not on the right track, but by the end he wins them over. That's what he says.

Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Okay. So he read until that, uh, to the producers of green book, turn that into a feature.

Yeah, exactly. It's just that seminar. They stress that 10 minute clip into a 90 minute film. So it's, or they play that 10 minute clip nine times. Or I'm sorry, we just have to pitch this film it would be like uh slumdog millionaire with each instance he calls one of these black men the n-word we

then flash back into that person's mind and see his backstory and then come back and then watch him confront that in real time move on to his next iteration guys it writes itself give me the academy award i have to go boom so johnny robbins's lawyer who has been kind of his partner in just responding to this in a uh in the worst way possible uh i'm just gonna imagine so his lawyer said in a statement that the presentation was positive and was accepted in the context in which it was conducted a passionate discussion about racism and how to rise above it. And then this is maybe my favorite example of, wait, but one of my friends that I've ever heard and by favorite, I mean the most infuriating,

they added any suggestion that Mr. Robbins is somehow racist or insensitive to the African American community is absurd and false. Indeed, American community is absurd and false. Indeed, one of Mr. Robbins' event partners for 25 plus years is an African American. Is an African American. Is an African American. One of Mr. Robbins' event partners, which is a made up phrase that doesn't mean anything.

What's an event partner? The dude who drives the truck when you stage on it? It could be anything. Somebody he has met once at an event. An event partner. Yeah. The man who brings me my Diet Cokes. Yeah.

Right. His event partner, Sambo, has worked with him for 25 plus years. He shines his shoes. Right. That's like the... Oh my goodness. Again, I love the defense against claims of being racist is if I'm so racist, allow me to direct your attention at this black body. Right. Exactly. That exists. Usually the claim is one of my best friends. This time it's one of my event partners.

We can be more vague. And then he had to say, is an African. Yes. That even. Wow. But yeah. So, I mean, this is basically what we talked about with him. You know, he in light of, you know, that defense and that clip, the idea that he's insensitive to the experience of being a person of color or a woman uh is just completely indisputable um and i think he is you like his whole philosophy is that any disadvantage

that you have is just you letting that disadvantage control you so he's his whole like mindset is like you know about overcoming anything that makes you feel bad which is a great way for a you know white guy who's tall and gorgeous as I mentioned yesterday milkshake them yeah for him to you know overlook the fact that not everybody walks into a room and immediately gets the benefit of the doubt. Yeah. Also, while we were reading about this last week, super producer Sophie Lichterman raised this series of Kobe commercials that we went back and watched. Yeah, the Kobe system.

It's now pretty mind-bending for... They would cut to a new person and it's like, Oh, shit. Let me play a clip really quick. Okay, yeah, yeah. It's a matter of fast and strong. That's Kobe. Tony Robbins, this is your last question.

Tony Robbins. Listen, I'd just like to add what Mr. Bryant was saying here about explosiveness. If you really want to change your life, then you've got to take massive action. You've got to immerse yourself. You've got to really understand that problems are really your gifts. Are you done? Yes, sir. Apologize to Kanye West for the $15 million of his time.

I'm sorry, Kanye. And not only that, there's a moment where Aziz Ansari is also in it. Yeah, there's another ad with Aziz. And he's like, what kind of tips? And Kobe Bryant is telling Aziz to be more aggressive. Yes. Just go after it and they wow like somebody just had an eye for like the most problematic i'm someone put that on twitter man because wow yeah the wow

wowie um yeah so shout out to also we were trying to figure out who wrote those whoever wrote those they're actually very funny at the time time, not knowing what was going on, you're like, there's actually some good lines in there. But you did know Kobe, so it's almost like... Kobe, you had to put that in the back of your mind. Right, so they put that in the back of their mind. They were like, you know who else would fit in this? Tony Robbins.

Problematic motherfuckers like Tony Robbins, Kanye West, and Zee. What's funny is when Tony Robbins is talking, he sat next to Serena Williams. Shout out to her, powerful black woman, because she's rolling her eyes at him. I know. So you know what? Serena tried to tell us. Yeah. Let's talk about.

Always listen to black women. Yeah, exactly. There it is. Let's talk about the president of these United States. Unless it's Candace Owens. Right. She's the exception. I was just going down mine. I was like, hold on.

They're the top three. And Omarosa. So there was a little bit of a tit for tat as I've heard it referred to in the media constantly going on between President Trump and Nancy Pelosi and their respective camps. Actually, nobody really

had Nancy's back, but Trump's people came for Nancy. No one needs to have her back because she's all right she's not insecure and she's just sort of like i'm the speaker and when kellyanne conway's like trying to talk she's like i'm trying to talk to the president yes not some assistant excuse me um so anyways we just pulling the ultimate i need to speak with your manager yeah right and she said oh i don't know her right uh so we we talked at the end of last week about how uh you know they were supposed to have the infrastructure meeting trump stormed out in a pure spur of the moment storming out that happened to have visuals uh pre-printed a well choreographed

right yes uh so that he could go out and then ramble. And he hadn't written anything ahead of time because he rambled incoherently for a while. And then, so I guess like Trump supporters slowed down a clip of Nancy Pelosi making it seem like she was drunk. Yeah, but this was like one of the last shots in the back and forth so he stormed out right then was like oh you know i can't believe what they did they they need to stop these investigations there's no infrastructure pelosi was like i'm praying for the president very petty but just like i'm praying for him right um and because he was saying like he just seemed so off red state people understand that that's the equivalent of bless your heart yeah exactly but just being very uh what do we call that um patronizing i guess with it um and then trump started name calling i think called her crazy nancy or some shit she was like saying

he's villainous that's more that's not name calling that's a description um and then was also saying like you know uh imploring the Trump family and staff to have an intervention. That really fucked him up. Yeah. And someone's like, well, what are you trying to say? She's like, oh, I can be clear. I'm talking about the 25th Amendment. Woo!

So she's like, hold that. Yeah. Now what do you got? Then we start seeing all these fucking weird videos come out. Then he's like, oh, I'm unfit? Right. Check out these doctored videos of Nancy Pelosi. Because the president's number one source of intelligence is just some memes he sees on fucking Twitter.

Yeah. On Stormfront. Yes. Boy. That's not happening anymore, right? I think they got shut down. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah.

GoDaddy pulled their license. Oh, yeah. GoDaddy. Yes, yes, yes. Go on, Daddy. So, yeah. So then we got these altered videos. One was like, you know, it's just trying to make her have like as if her speech is slurred.

The old gin goblin Rudy Giuliani then tweeted a similar video. Not the same one as Trump, but another one that was clearly just someone playing a video of her at like half speed. So her sentence was more like this rather than I'm giving the president the opportunity. It's like, I'm giving the president. Right. And it,

most people, if you slow anyone down, it just makes them sound real fucked up. yeah. I mean, people have done it to us before. They did that to me in court that one time. Right.

I'm telling you that was Dr. Video. Yeah. And then also with trump too i think is when it first began right the one with trump actually makes him more coherent because you can actually hear like his brain pinging between like the things that it's like really just you can see the path that his mind is taking as opposed to it seeming just kind of incoherent and rambling. I mean, it still is. But you see sort of the Adderall, Addle, you know, path that it's taking. Yeah.

Well, and again, these are like, I think these are only going to keep increasing, you know, because this was straight, like in 2016, it was all about trying to put up clips of Hillary, like she was dying of some new wild disease we never heard of or you know her brain is falling out her nose yeah she she falls all the time because the tumor is so big she can't even see and also it's so easy for them because the people who they're getting this to go viral with

are all in their 60s and they don't have good eyes for detail like the second you look at this video you see her hair is moving in slow motion it's like, yo. Also, there aren't enough frames for the movement to be smooth at all. Right. Oh, right.

So you're watching a video in slow motion. You all realize that, right? Nope. Look, quick tipsy off. If you really want to do it and slow it down, shoot it at 120 frames per second. Then you can give us some semblance of it looking like 30 frames per second. Yeah. Carlos Maza, a gay wonk on Twitter, actually had a really good explanation about that.

He was basically talking about how, you know, like Fox News, we obviously know, is a talking, is a propaganda machine for right-wing politics. And most media outlets, like, if they make enough noise, they pick up on it. And that's why, like, the Hillary thing, oh, she's sick. Oh, what's going on with her health? it's like no it's dumb like use your good judgment that you sometimes have but if they make enough noise it automatically gets picked up and that's exactly what's happening in this case with nancy pelosi it's like well what's going on with her what's it's like uh it's like that episode of doctor who where he's like i can take down your your

administration with six words you know and uh don't you think she looks tired? Like that, it's just planting the seed. Yeah. And like that's an episode of Doctor Who? It is. Really? With the mom from Shaun of the Dead. Huh.

She becomes the prime minister and with David Tennant. And then he just says, don't you think she looks tired? Yeah. He whispers. He was like, I could ruin your administration with five words. And then he goes, no, six words.

And she's like, go ahead, try it. It's very confrontational because she has basically gone full paranoia and wants to start this space defense force. And Doctor Who is just like,

no, that's a terrible idea because you're basically inviting conflict by doing that. So don't do that. So then he whispers to her assistant, don't you think she looks tired? And within the next scene, everybody's talking about, is her health okay?

Is she doing all right? And she resigns. Wow. And was that after Hillary? This was David Tennant years. So this was this was david tennant year so this was like 2012 wow all right everyone doesn't he look tired doesn't he look tired doesn't he look tired nah we've we're way past nuance no i'm for trump that that would work so i'm not tired because he looks like he is having trouble but i mean again this is this is another

example of republicans and their followers suffering from this very specific type of cognitive dissonance that requires them to immediately accuse the person criticizing them of the thing they're guilty of. So they put out a video of Nancy Pelosi to make her look drunk after Trump goes up and has this completely incoherent speech in the Rose Garden, and then his drunkest ally, Rudy Giuliani, goes out and tweets that video, and literally drunkenly... Well, do you think he's drunk when he tweeted that? What? The apology tweet?

You don't think he was drunk? I mean, I don't know. I guess I'm making the mistake of acting like we're journalists. Okay. Do we know he's drunk? Yeah, motherfucker's drunk. I'm calling him the gin goblin. I don't know why was drunk i mean i don't know i guess i'm making the mistake of acting like we're journalists okay do we know he's drunk yeah motherfucker's drunk i'm calling him the gin goblin i don't know why the fuck i love it hey well hold on jack we don't know we don't want to compromise our journalistic integrity all i know is that trump didn't want to give him a job in the first place the reason it took trump a year to hire him is because trump had heard his drinking had gotten out of control he has admitted to going on TV drunk in the past couple years.

And people say that he's frequently drinking during the day. And then he tweeted something that just reminds me of an email I would have sent when I was blacked out. When he tweeted that video, everyone was like, take this shit down. So he did. And then this is literally what the – I'm just going to spell out the first word of this tweet.

Yeah. It's I-V-E-S-S-S-A-P-O-L-O-G-Y. So Ives apology. Ives apology. And then I'll just read the rest. I'm going to read it like this. Ives apology for a video which allegedly is a caricature

of an otherwise halting speech pattern. She should first stop and apologize for saying the president needs a quote and revenge. R. And then a gif of the Timberwolves celebrating.

Or the Hawks, I guess, versus the Timberwolves. The only thing that would completely seal the deal is just, it's closed off with R. A-R-E. They ran out of characters. Are you mad at me? Are you mad at me? Is that what it is? Every drunk person.

This ain't even coming at 280. Every drunk person ever. This isn't even clocking in at 230, these characters. Are you mad at me? Are you... Anyway. He retweeted... He didn't take that down. This shit is still up.

That is still up. Or as of this recording. Right. As of the end of last week. But he then tweeted what he meant to say, and instead of R, he tweeted, people who live in Glass House shouldn't throw stones, and did not tweet a Timberwolves gif.

But that seems like it's directed at himself, a drunk person saying. And that gif, though, it doesn't even make sense. Right, because the gif. Basketball players celebrating? I'm confused why that is even a gif in the first place because it's not a good celebration. It's just somebody putting their hands up. Yeah. Yeah.

And one dude is like tying his shorts. Yeah. Okay. Look, Rudy, Gingabi, somebody help you out. Gingabi. Somebody help Gingabi. Let's talk about real quick the 20. Oh, wait.

Just one last thing. Right. Then I just want to add the last piece of this escalating war was when Trump basically just unilaterally said, I'm giving Bill Barr just the blanket authority to declassify information, like just from all these intelligence agencies, to, quote, investigate the investigators of the Russia scandal. Right. of the Russia scandal. Right. So essentially saying,

I now bless you, Bill Barr, fucker of information, to now manufacture new scandals by declassifying sensitive information. Yeah. Not to mention that it would also affect information, I think, that we've gathered through the Five Eyes Agreement, like with other countries,

like the UK and Canada. Now that potentially means, guess who's not getting any more of that intel? The United States. Right. Because you've just been like, hey, why don't you, Mark Meadows and Devin Nunes, just drum up some shit and try and create some new Benghazi type shit. Uranium one thing out of declassified memos will selectively redact shit and we can hopefully shift the focus away from the president's actual crimes. Right. Yeah. And this is exactly why the Democrats need to move to impeachment, even if, you know, it's not practical or whatever, like they still have a majority in the House,

like the motion itself is what's important because they constantly talk about how we need to take down Trump and use it as a as to fundraise. But then when the time comes to actually do something that would limit him, hinder him in any kind of practical way, they drop the ball. Right. Yeah. And I think, you know, it seems like the Pelosi plan is to just slowly bleed the president out, like let all these documents come out, let the scandals keep piling up and piling up because she's saying it seems like the calculus that the president is using is, yeah, impeach me. You'll get it out of the the house we'll then do a sham fucking trial in the senate where i control all the levers you know they will unanimously be like oh not guilty uh with r kelly featuring jay-z um and that and then they're going

to use they'll campaign off of that look what they tried to do and we still won and i think that's the only thing they don't want to do is somehow give the optics win of getting past the impeachment thing to try and be like, you see, it's all good. He got through impeachment. Because this shit couldn't stick. But at the same time, when you look, that's where I'm also like,

I understand the political calculus, but the existential threats are far too real and pronounced for too many people that I can't, like, it's hard for me to square that with like, what about all this other shit that is happening in real time? Yeah, sometimes people that I can't like it's hard for me to square that with like what about all this other shit that is happening in real time yeah so we can't get control exactly sometimes you have you can't worry about political strategy and you just have to do the what's right yeah and I don't think look at the end of the day I don't know who's going to be really affected by seeing Trump getting through an impeachment process right saying like oh now

I'm going to vote for him. I was on the fence. I think a lot of this is the lessons learned from the Clinton impeachment, the fact that he got impeached by the House, but then got through the Senate. And people are like, well, that's what happened then. And people rallied to Bill Clinton's side, but they didn't have shit. It's just underestimating the intelligence of the American people. It's assuming that, well, they're always going to follow this rule of if you can't fully impeach him and if he only gets impeached. But this is a totally different instance where he has done a lot of really, really bad shit. Whereas the Clinton thing, they were shaming a person for a for perjury.

Right. And for an extramarital affair. That's what they really focused in on. Absolutely. And it was, you know, that's just some shit that America's like, all right, we get it. But that doesn't have anything to do with like the running of the country. Yeah, that's not a real impeachable offense. Right. So, yeah, they just, they did overextend themselves on that one.

But I don't think anybody's going to feel necessarily like this is overextend themselves on that one, but I don't think anybody's going to feel necessarily like this is overextending themselves if he has in fact done all the things that by all evidence it seems like he has done. And this is also an indication that if you don't do that, he's going to do it right back and try and find a way to make his followers think this. Which is what that whole,

that announcement of being like, I now pronounce Barr master of propaganda. Yes. You know? Or even, you know, just the deal that he wanted to make with Nancy Pelosi for infrastructure. I mean, that's not a deal.

I mean, walking away is not deal making. Yeah, it was all pre-planned though. It was like an ambush that he really thought he had them. Because a lot of the reporting was like, they were like, that doesn't make sense. It's going to be great. And I don't even put a chair there. Because I'm going to go in and I'm just going to stand and be like,

fuck you guys. And then I'm out. And then they'll see. The real question on everybody's mind, though, this is on the front page of FoxNews.com. Can Trump prove he's the ultimate deal maker can he prove it I mean he's like we all know it's true but can he prove

it what anyways how I think we all get that alright let's move on to multiple bankruptcies are proof of just how good you are at business can he prove it he sure he's lost more money than any American during the years

that we were looking at. What's the text even? What are they even suggesting would prove that, that he could get something done with Democrats? Because every other president who was going through any kind of investigations, they were still able to govern. I think they were trying to kind of push him in the direction. I think Fox News gets that they're the only source of information that he listens to, so they're trying to nudge him in the right direction. Like, hey, we'd think you're the ultimate dealmaker if you just stop making a complete fucking mockery. This would just be like new

medical research shows making deals with opposition increases hand and dick size. Yeah. Uh-huh. Just do that. Alright, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. dick size. Just do that. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.

Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and we're going to uh try a new thing we're calling what we're fucking with what you're fucking with uh around the office some things uh some silly shit that we've been having a good time yeah because normally Oh, that was it playing. Sorry.

Normally, you know, we always hear guests, what's happening in their world. Right, their search history. Yes, and we also want to let everybody know, here at the Daily Zeitgeist, we are also stupid people who laugh at really dumb shit on the internet. Often, frequently, and for over and over the same thing yes

uh recently i was playing a track by logic featuring eminem called homicide in the office and at the very end there was a soundbite of this dude trying to pretend to be eminem like trying to copy eminem's like rap god super fast flow style right um and i didn't know what it was and dj dan goes is that that chris d'alia eminem thing i was I didn't know what it was. And DJ Dan goes, is that that Chris D'Elia Eminem thing? I was like, what? And then apparently it was just from a YouTube video of Chris D'Elia in his car trying to rap like Eminem. Should we just play the clip?

Yeah, let's just play the clip. Here, this is something we regularly laugh at. I'm in a cabana chanting on a standard banner. Well, you don't got the stamina, you're lacking the stamina. You're lacking the stamina while you're divorcing Harrison Ford andkins and flapping around like a babkin have become probably the. You're using way too many napkins and flapping around like a babkin have become probably the most frequently said things in the office.

Yeah, I think we greet each other with that. Yeah. We'll just, apropos of nothing, we'll just say it. Flapping around like a babkin. I'm sorry. You're using way too many napkins. At lunch, we deploy that too

when we're eating. I'll look at someone and be like, you're using way too many napkins. And then leave it there. I mean, I'm DeForest Harrison Ford and the portion of the floorboards. That one I think is the most accurate to Eminem because it's a combination. It's like a scene he's setting that makes no fucking sense. It has the phonetics.

But you're using way too many napkins. I'm sorry, guys, if you're now hearing this and go, wow. The fucking idiots. But hey, we're just like're now hearing this and go, wow. Yeah. The fucking idiots. But hey, we're just like y'all. This is who you listen to. Yeah. Idiots.

I'm a mom. The next one, I just want to tell people to check it out. Stephen A. Smith, Baby Filter. It's actually not the one. He already looks like a baby. Yeah. That's why it makes it even better when you put the baby filter on. And so there's one that's like a minute long where it's just a bunch of different clips

of him and they actually have the voice altered. And that doesn't work as well for me as this. There's this one on Complex Instagram where they just have an actual quote from him, but like where his voice isn't altered. But he looks like a baby and it's incredible because it's just the most Stephen A. Smith thing that Stephen A. Smith has ever said. Right. 28 seconds.

You want to just play it real quick? For people who don't know Stephen A. Smith, he's a commentator, a pundit for sports, and always has just the wildest takes. And a lot of people hate him. A lot of people also love him. A lot of people are kind of me. I just like to watch and just laugh at him. I hate him, but this clip makes me have to respect him. So we'll play this clip.

Derek, if you haven't seen it, just watch this. Oh, my God. You have to watch the video, though, because I'm sorry. This is more of a visual-based one. Right. But it's so good. Every first move as the executive was to sign Lamar Odom, who was on crack. Sign Lamar Odom, who is on crack? That's a Lamar Odom, who is on crack?

Which, like, for the listeners, that's just an actual Stephen A. Smith book. Right, yeah. It looks like a baby. It's amazing when it looks like a baby. It's also amazing that that guy has a job. That's his take. Who is on crack. What else?

What else? And then I think our number one, let's pretend this is a countdown, even though the Chris DeLeon thing is probably the thing. We spend the most time talking about this video that we recently discovered. How did we end up on this video? For some reason, I think I was asking about john tesh and then super producer nick stump was like yeah when i was doing road trips with the band like john tesh is kind of that talk radio that shows up when you're searching for shit on the on the airwaves right and then uh

nick was like saying yo he actually like composes like jingles and stuff yeah and then we come to find out he wrote the NBA on NBC theme song. He did. He's not just a dude from, was it Entertainment Tonight or whatever, where he got his start? Yeah. I think that's the only thing he's done other than. He toured with Rafi.

Oh, no, no. With Yanni. I'm sorry. Yanni, Yanni, Yanni. As a touring keyboardist. So if you don't remember, for people who listen to the show, I know a lot of you do fuck with 90s basketball, and you know this song.

Okay, so y'all know that. Okay, so we found a clip where John Tesh is having a fucking concert and he like one of the pieces he's doing is like all this patters like I actually came up for the thing on a jog and I left myself a voice note. So what we're about to play is this clip of John Tesh playing a voicemail to himself with the idea for it. Live at the Red Rocks. Yeah. Sold out crowd, it sounds like. People are going nuts.

He's wearing, by the way, he's dressed in a, he's dressed like he's going to the prom. He's got like a tuxedo vest. Oh, yeah. It looks like a prom after party. Yes. Because the jacket is gone, the collar's undone a bit, but he's still got the vest on. Very silky.

He is feeling himself as much as anybody has ever felt themselves. Prom after party or 90s R&B group. Yes. Yeah, exactly. Definitely a boys to men opening group on tour. I just found out the Red Rocks thing is mislabeled. This was actually at the Avalon Ballroom on Catalina Island. So it's like the Catalina Island wine mixer, basically.

Because the audience looks like it's Coachella for people who don't season their food. So Coachella. Yes. So this one, I'm just going to play you from the voice note. And then there's a moment you're going to hear a bass drum. He pantomimes dribbling a basketball and then plays the thing on his keyboard so majestically. Just here we go. This is just, we'll check out John TZ. Here we go. It's your machine So here now the original demo tape for this particular song for pro basketball

Is a message for me about the NBA theme here's an idea it goes like this. Boom. Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da he's pant oh and he looks like he does not know how to dribble a ball no he's running to the keyboard about to rip this shit get ready yeah it's the violin players that have choreography y'all have to watch this. He looks like he's coming into the keyboard a little bit at one point because he's just feeling it so much. He's so hot. Wow. So, y'all, again, that's what we're fucking with.

That is what we're fucking with, guys. Please look at those. And you will see those links in the footnotes. Footnotes? That John Tash video needs to be seen to be believed because his version of dribbling a basketball, Footnotes. Footnotes? That John Tash video needs to be seen to be believed. Yeah. Because his version of dribbling a basketball, you'd think a tall man like him would have picked up a basketball once or twice in his life.

But he is dribbling like they made a Broadway musical about basketball. And the actors are doing a dribbling thing. Yeah, or it's like a lead up to a song. Right. Yeah, like if Stomp dribbling thing. Yeah, or it's like a lead up to a song. Right. Yeah, like if Stomp did a basketball thing. Exactly. Because it's like very rhythmic, but it's not like how you dribble a ball.

It looks like he's patting very violently a child's head. Yeah. Life is like a free throw. It's just you and the ball. But there's a journey to the line Also written by someone who's never played or watched basketball Taking a free throw dunk Doing shots from the ark

From the ark? What? Of the Covenant? Oh, there we go A Christian-themed basketball musical There you go Alright, let's talk about what pigeon forge tennessee is fucking with there is a new museum that no one asked for

except for me but really that's not we should go actually out of respect i would definitely definitely go i want to see what the gift shop's like but anyways Forge is a tourist trap haven. There is the Titanic Museum, the Alcatraz East Crime Museum, and of course, Dollywood. Shout out to Dolly the God. It's just funny that the Titanic Museum is in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. And also the Alcatraz East. In case you can't get to San Francisco, come to pigeon forest tennessee you can knock out titanic you can knock out alcatraz what did that one plate at that museum dolly dolly parton's uh stampede used to be dolly parton's dixie stampede uh which is basically medieval times but reenacting the

civil war we've talked about it before on the show i think uh. The audience gets divided into North and South. The South will occasionally win the Civil War. Slavery is never mentioned. Yeah, because we're trying to be civil. Right. It's about civility there. Anyways, Pigeon Ford is home to a new attraction, which opened last week. It's called National Enquirer Live.

It's a museum dedicated to the national inquire yeah i mean for all the boy watch fans uh we should definitely pull up a group trip maybe we need to go to tennessee man yeah because what why wouldn't you choose now to celebrate the famed tabloid that's been revealed to have allegedly blackmailed jeff bezos and used catch and kill tactics to bury scandals that could damage the worst president and countless other powerful men yes yeah i mean the exhibits are fucking lame as fuck and they spent 15 million on this they spent 15 million and they are advertising the shit out of it as a family-friendly attraction, which is weird. That makes sense from a business perspective.

Yeah. But the attractions they have are like one of the things they have is a 3D computer model of the car crash that killed Princess Diana. Oh, God. And you get to follow her route as she's chased by the paparazzi. And then at the end, after the car crash has destroyed her body and she's no longer alive,

they ask families to vote on which conspiracy theory they think is more likely, that the queen killed her, that she was pregnant? Who do you think was involved? Were the royals even involved? You know those fun conversations you like to have with your kids? Yeah.

I'm imagining they have, it's almost like the wax museum where you take your photo and then they put you up on a fake National Enquirer. Right. Like local man. Killed Princess Diana. Right. Because she was pregnant with his baby and they didn't want islamophobia well speaking of uh wax museums they had a i think the visionary behind this whoever it may be had a dream of a wax museum but they were also like

suffering from a terrible fever because they have a room where you get to see different Michael Jackson photos recreated in like wax figure form, but he looks like he's like melting or like it's like a mummified dead body in a lot of them. It's like a brown face with a curly hair wig on it. There's nothing Michael Jackson about the fucking thing. In one, they have a recreation of a photograph of him sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber, but it doesn't look like him, like Miles said, and he has a big curly Afro wig on,

but his eyes are yellow, and he turns to you, and then closes his eyes and rolls back over, back to sleep. But they gave him thriller eyes, the yellow eyes, which is- Because they're trying to show maybe he's a monster. Another fun exhibit for the whole family to enjoy. A recreation of Nicole Brown Simpson's condo where she was murdered, complete with her chalk outline. Oh, boy.

Yeah. Look, it's like the recreation of the front steps. Oh, my God. Like, so what? And what, this is all supposed to be grammable? Yeah. So like, yeah, yeah, yeah, go pose like Nicole. No, you can't even get there, though.

See, if they wanted it to be successful, they would charge and ask, you'd have to show how many Instagram followers you have to be able to get in. Right. Anyways. That makes sense. Your kids will thank you. Oh, sorry, not your kids. Your kids' therapists will thank you. Yeah, that is the worst thing. Dad, are we going

to Busch Gardens? Are we going to Disneyland? No, we're going to the site where Nicole Brown was murdered. No, we're going to find out how Princess Diana really died. Who's Princess Diana? Shut up. Shut the fuck up.

I think it was the royals because they didn't like Dodi Al-Fayed. There's also a room full of celebrity portraits that will follow you around the room just for extra. So that entire place is just built of nightmares. Yeah, it's built of what a bad trip would be. They're like, how do we make sure that anybody coming here on a hallucinogen will lose their mind? If you're Zeitgang and you're in the Pigeon Forge area. Yeah.

Go on mushrooms. If you go, hit me up and maybe we'll talk to you to get a firsthand account of what the fuck that was like. That would be amazing. Because I'm only reading the descriptions and I'm weirded the fuck out. So please, if you are in the Pigeon Forge area, contact me at MilesOfGrey on Twitter, and let's try and figure something out. Yeah, I mean, the only way we could get any worse, any more nightmares, is that at the end of the tour, they asked you, like, would you like to give a skin donation? Right.

It was like, we build all of our sculptures from donations. Right. It's like, here, swab your cheek with this Q-tip. Find out. Learn about your alleles. Well, Derek, it's been a pleasure having you, man. Thank you, guys. This is, I think, I'm punching my third.

Punching third. Yeah, punching your third stamp. Third stamp. Yeah, next one you get a free coffee. Oh, I love it. I love it. Sorry I made you pay for that one today, but hot your third stamp. Third stamp. Fourth one's free. Yeah, next one you get a free coffee. Oh, I love it. I love it. Sorry I made you pay for that one today, but hot water's expensive. It is, and it's only going to get more expensive because climate change.

Where can people find you? So I actually just launched a podcast myself about patriarchy and masculinity, if you're into that thing. It's just interviewing some guys, some gals, and some non-binary pals about identity, sexuality, patriarchy and masculinity if you're into that thing it's just uh interviewing some guys some gals and some non-binary pals about uh identity sexuality uh patriarchy obviously i scheduled scheduled miles for this summer a couple months ago yeah jack if you want to you want to jump in on that too i'd love to uh so that is called mansplain yourself because of course it is it's on itunes soundcloud you can find me on Twitter at my first and last name, Derek Lemos, or on Insta. I'm talking a lot of shit, so just strap in and be mindful of that.

There you go. There you go. There you go. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? There's several tweets that I've been enjoying. There was one the other day. It was what brought up the milkshake thing. You know, she is a, I think she's a good journalist. I honestly don't remember.

I think she's a good journalist. I honestly don't remember. But she had a really nice tweet thread about what embarrassment does to these guys. Because, like you were saying, their egos are ginormous and they really want to present strong and fierce and we're not afraid of anything. But getting dunked on by a milkshake, you can't look tough. And if you beat somebody up over a milkshake,'s like dude you're a fucking asshole so it is kind of the perfect tool to combat what they are presenting

because it just breaks everything right welcome up find me on twitter and instagram at miles of gray you can find me on playstation network also too you know psyching we're trying to get this raid done if your gear score is not 500 don't fuck around okay we're trying to get

to play razor bitch a couple tweets i've been enjoying at drill tweeted having to spell the word lunch instead of saying it so the boys don't get too excited, uh, which is something for parents out there. And it implies that they're not feeding their kids. Uh, and Joel Kim booster tweeted, uh, if I had a nickel for every time someone wrote,

Miles, what's that going to be? This is a new track from Flying Lotus and Denzel Curry, one of my favorite MCs. And you know what?

It's not like typical Fly Low production. He's coming back on some boom bap sample bass hip hop type shit, which I like because I am old and I am stuck in 1997 musically. Thank you. I don't know. I've never heard that sound and I don't like it. It sounds like a weird

trumpet and I don't know what it is. But this one's called Black Balloons Reprise, Flying Lotus, Denzel Curry off the new album, La Magra. Oh, are there references to the Goo Goo Dolls in there? Because Baby's Black Balloon is an amazing song. I'll have to look on the Genius for the lyrics to see if they're talking about

heroin. Did you know it's really about drugs? Oh, you just said that. I just said that. Never mind. And I was also there when... You didn't know that though, right? I did not know that. Because I was 12 when that song came out. I just said that. Right. Miles, did you know?

Yeah, bro. I just said that shit. That's your producer, Anna. She knows what the Goo Goo Dolls song is about. Uh-oh. Wow. She literally rolled... She just walked out of the room.

She just rolled her eyes so hard at you, she warped. My new favorite thing. Alright, we're gonna ride out on that.

Inside my battered mind I have visions of being broke A broken man writing words of wisdom inside these notes Shattered and lost, chattering soft, blabbering off Grabbing the cross, telling Jesus nothing matters at all.
