I can't tell you anything aside from that's, we were, I was trying to watch Paradise. And it's like, I just got to get through off campus. I'm like, you've already seen the whole season. She's like, yeah, but the second time it's for plot or the second time it's for character. It's whatever. Right. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

There is, there is hockey, exactly. I think that's the other thing, too, is because it's like the, there's the thing, they won't they, the star hockey player. I think it's based off of a book, too.

It's all Y-A, bro. Yeah. So it's just that hockey is percolating in the zeitgeist. This YAA shit is it's like, it's like what true crime was for podcasting for a long time. They're like, let me just trust me. Buy this IP, put some hot people in it, and the fucking millennials will be coming out in droves to watch that shit amongst other young people.

I love this Y. What about you, Sarfia? Do you know about off campus? Thor. That's short? Hey, sirf. Have you heard of off campus? I don't count you in that group of people who like Y.A. stuff either, though.

I mean, I used to read a lot of YA when I was a YA. Yeah, when I was. But now that you're an M.AW. Middle-Aaged woman. Yeah, first of all, I hate you. What a mom. I was going to say, I'm not in a YA. I only read YN stories. There you go. And they're mostly there's just Snapchats from London, bro.

They're drilling out there. That's what I call hip hop. It's Hawaiian story. Yes. And I love it. Anyone wearing a Nike tech suit and a shiasty? Oh, yeah. You got to get the shiasty.

Bro, when was the last time you got nervous around some YNs? There are these kids in London who looked like, I thought they were going to rob me. What? They're just like straight off a guy rich, he said. Look at his shoes, bro. Look at his shoes. And I'm like, oh, fuck, bro. Like, leave me the fuck alone.

Oh, you were wearing the airmacks. Yeah, I was wearing the airmack. Yeah, I was wearing airmack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah, all right, I see that. And like, one kid had the Bali on. Yeah, I'd rob you too. Yeah, one kid had the bali on in fucking 79 degree weather.

And I was like, oh, fuck, bro, this motherfucker. How are they not sweating with that shit on? Bally. Bally clava, mate. Bally shoes? Got the bali on mate. Oh, the scheme. I thought it was a Billy Elliott Sitch.

Goodall, who discovered chimpanzees. No, that can't be right. Glad that happened. She discovered how they are.

She hung out with them. She was the first to be a good enough hang to study chimpanzees and have them be like, yeah, hey, Jane's cool. She kind of, she bros down pretty easy, huh? No, no ripping faces. Jane is cool. No, no, no. That one leave the face on. We like that one.

I have such terrible decision-making paralysis for lunch all the time. I'm like, I should just be making one gigantic thing and just eating that all day. Anyway, after years of not really paying attention and melting multiple pieces of Tupperware in the microwave, I've started paying attention to the little sign symbols on the bottom of them. Oh, good. Whether it says microwave safe or not. Good, good. That's called being an adult.

Oh, my God, you're a father. I know. I was like, why does this thing look like it's... What do you mean? It tastes weird. Just eat it. Why does this look all sad? It shrink wrap.

Hey, why the long face? Tupperware. Why are you talking your Tupperware like that? Some of them are weird. Like there's one that says microwave safe and it's like a box with an atom inside it. Oh. Like that's not. Yeah.

What is that? I don't know. I think it's going to come out. That's no one that turns you into Ironman. We can't know with that one. Wait, let me get that. Just my left hand. I just put my left hand in the microwave.

My name is Jack O'Brien. Have I done? Yeah, yeah. My name's Jack O'Brien, AK. I'm sorry, Miss Jackson. Ooh, I got saline. Never meant to make your daughter cry. I just multiplied my ball sax size.

There's so many to get through. Oh, man, there's a lot of, this is really inspired something for the Academy. It is the new trend. I don't know if you can call it a trend. It's a thing that some people are doing.

We're thrilled to be Joanna and Dana our third seat by very talented writer, stand-up comedian, co-hosts the great 90-day fiancé podcast, 420 Day Fiance with some guy named, I don't know, Miles or something.

That guy. Great stand-up who you should go check dates. It's Sophia, Alex. Oh my God. It's been so long since the dream throuple has. Oh, yeah, last time, Yumi and Greta, the last. Yeah, Jack's been gone and it's been Yumi and Greta almost every time. Like the last few times. Yeah, I keep missing Greta.

Yeah. I'm so upset. But yeah, I've been. I'm not ducking her, even though we do have beef. I've been vacation, you for both of you. Yeah, yeah. And it feels real nice to just have us back together. it's dream blunt rotation, you know, dream everything.

Dream blunt rotation where we just, we give it to Jack out of disrespect, but they'll immediately pass it on. Yeah, my hands shake a little bit as I pass it from one to the other. Like fake ding-dong ditching your fake hit in the blunt. You're just like, oh, yeah. Just holding it next to your cheek. I'm like, what was that? I'm going to say, I feel comfortable enough with both of you

that I wouldn't even pretend to hit the blunt. Yeah. Yeah. You'd be like, what are you kidding me? I'm like, you're right. This is just for fun. I think I am. I have any idea how bad my anxiety would be.

What I'm picturing is camera pants from miles to me. And we're like blowing out smoke. And then it pans to Jack's face and he's blowing bubbles out of a little bubble wand. Yeah, it's so crazy. Crazy cipher right now, huh? Crazy cipher right now. Sophia, I aspire to have your general energy be vacationed me. You know what I mean?

You're one of the greats, but yeah, we appreciate it. You appreciate all the filling in, and it's great to have you on as a guest. I love to see a empty slot and just, you know, pack in. Right. Just fall right in there. I'm sorry. Oh, no. Everything's great.

Everything's good. Sophia, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple. How much better because you literally get to know? We'll see. Hopefully, even better. Hopefully even better, you know, all these years later, and she still surprises me. We're going to talk about the child.

I don't know what I'm going to stop laughing All right, hold on. Yeah, I know. We're going to talk about the child who got kicked by a robot clown over the weekend or I don't know when it happened. We've got to caveat it ahead of time.

Child is fully okay. Child is fully okay. Robot was wearing a clown wig and that's not funny. It made me so upset. It really was awful. Because I kept watching it being like, well, I just need to see it to make sure it's real.

And then I just get watching it. You sound like my eight-year-old one. He's like trying to talk after he's been crying. That's what I talk like when I'm laughing way too hard. But I like was like, well, I mean, that would be crazy to watch that again. I mean, it is a child getting kicked. Just breasted. You know what I watched it?

But this is, the second time is just. Immediately I had to verify that the child wasn't actually injured. You know, like, because it's funny like how. For sure, for sure. When you're. Yeah, me too. Me too. First thing about it.

Yeah, yeah. I knew he was okay also. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. First thing I did. First, before I said, that's important.

I said out loud. I did that. I did that. I did that before I changed my Instagram profile pick to the kid getting the roundhouse by the robot. made sure. And ordered my own cloud wig to recreate this. Yeah.

For Halloween this year. This will be a good Halloween group contest, you know? I'm telling you. I just came up with the Halloween past you, and that's all I was thinking about. Afro-corradi robot for his kid. Yeah. I mean, obviously one of you will be the kid. I'm the robot.

Right, yeah, right, right, right. For sure. I can, I can. Oh. Head or gut jack. You know. Exactly. 21 and from the clown robot.

Had or got man. Jack would be perfect as a toddler. As a toddler getting kicked in a solo place by a fucking robot as they replace us. We're going to talk about bumblebees appropriate enough the day after the Jane Goodall episode because we're finding that bumblebees can do some of the things that we previously thought only humans and chimps could do, like use tools. Bumblebees. Okay.

Smart as fuck. I don't like that. I'm not shocked about that. I don't like that. You're not shocked about that. You see those big fat guys floating, floating around out there looking like they can barely get off the ground and you're like they're probably doing math. See, that's because you're judging a bug by its cover.

I look at that bumblebee and I go, D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Rug. You're a fucking buggest. And it is, it's really gross. It's ugly. Okay. I think, hey, nature is mysterious. surely there's something attached to the bumblebee that you know is the unexpected surprise and the cost of being a large beautiful little never judge a bug bite's the rat's right that's what i'm saying just don't do it that's a lesson that i have to learn i keep telling you this every day i refuse to stop i just keep stopping you on this on the sidewalk being like look at this dumb motherfucker i'm like jack jesus

Hey, what the fuck, man? Just some guy eating his lunch. Oh, sorry. Sorry. He uses a tool to hurl it at you. Fuck, man. Just a tiny little wrench. He's just puts down his lunch and fucking throws his work and wrench at you from the building.

He's been making a skyscraper. He's sitting on a beam with his other bumble. workers. Anyways, we're going to talk about bumblebees and how they think they're so great. Let's talk about the big news. I'm calling bullshit on this one. TMZ is reporting. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are going to get married at Madison Square Garden.

No fucking way. I think methinks we are in the midst of a sciop right here. And this is my area of expertise. So we'll get in. But the thing is, TMZ's been really right a lot. They're right about everything. They're our best reporter. I know.

So that's why I'm like, before people die that they died. Yeah, I'm like, I'm pretty sure they're right. And it does seem like some shit they would do. It don't. Yeah. All right. We're going to talk about it.

You know, we're going to talk about it. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Hey, left right and center. We're going to figure it out. That's right. That's why you're the Thruple leader. Miles. Always getting at, everyone snacks, making sure we're fucking hydrated.

See, making sure we stretch. Hey, we're going to hear everyone's conspiracy theories on the Taylor Swift one. Don't worry. We're going to hear. Hey, no, there's time for you too. Yeah. Before we get to any of that, Sophia, we do like to ask our guess, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay, so my search is Doja Elon tweets because her language made me laugh so hard.

and I was telling someone about how, like, good and original the insults are, and so I'll just read this. Yeah. Hey, Elon, if you see this, please put the audio post feature back on here. Thanks, you frog build looking bitch. Barrel-chested Ewak.

You look like you eat sand. Absolutely. Not a false note in that insult. No, it is flawless. It's like OG Azalea Banks. type good. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

And then someone replied. Someone replied, she didn't put an ad because she's not about that life. And then she put an ad. Elon Musk and said, put the audio post feature back on this app. Thanks, you hairless, no neck cabin chimpanzee. Face looked like it was drawn from memory. Keep going. When you swim on your back at the beach shit, look like a man o' war.

Hourglass ankles. Not trying to be. though, sorry. Trying to be mean, though. It's so funny. Sorry. So, yeah, that's something that lets, you know, that that gives me joy every time I think about it.

So I just now have it pulled up. Right, right, right. Like all the time in one tab, always. I'm surprised you didn't clap back. Because I remember one time, like, Billy Eilish was like, you fucking pathetic pussy bitch. And then he responded, She's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

And you're like, ah, hmm. I think it's because it was so devastating. And it was just like a throwaway. And she just like delivered like 15 hits. Yeah, yeah. How do you respond? Three sentences. I'm like, bitch.

I'm glad she, you know, took time off showing feet in those racist fucking chats to do this. Nature is healing, you guys. She has to balance it out. Yeah, yeah. What is something you think is underrated? Okay, literally smelling the roses. I'm so sorry to be this person. Okay, Portland is the city of roses.

There are so many roses blooming all of the time. And you would feel like, oh, why not? I just pass by them every day and just like not care because there's so many roses. And why not I do? No. Instead, you smell all of them and you're delighted. Every bloom. Every kind, different kind of bush.

This is what I do for a little. living now. Sorry, someone has to do it. Someone has to be joyful and whimsical for everyone. And honestly, I love it so much and all of the flowers smell different. And if they don't smell, I'm like, wow, shocked. It's like when you meet someone and it's like they don't have a good personality. And you're like, wow, well, we all developed one. I don't know what the fuck your problem is. I remember going to the road, like that big rose garden. You know, it's like just like a few, like up that hill or whatever. Sorry for my terrible description of one of your amazing parks. I remember going to the big rose garden up that hill.

You remember that big rose garden up there when they got all the roses up there? By the creak. Yeah, but I remember going and like when the Geist child was like really small, we were like, smell this. It didn't know what was going on, but I was pre-smelling them because I was so pissed. I'm like, this one just smells like plant. And I'm like, this is a good one. Bring him here. Bring him here.

Have you smell this one. It just smells like plant. Wait, so there are. Some roses that don't smell? Yeah. There are something. Oh, I think you're talking about like a different flower variety. No.

No, because there's so many different kinds of roses and some of them are just bred for like looks. Yeah. And zero personality. And it's stupid. Why would you not want to have? Well, what about the ones that both look good and smell good, you know? Oh, it's the fucking best. That's called a winner, man.

That's what we love. That's what we love to see. So I'm just saying smell all the roses. Also, my grandma. Is that for vigilance just to like make sure that it's not one that smells like shit and you think it smells good? Smell all the roses. Be careful out there.

Oh, not this one. It's not a good one. It's not good. Yeah. My mom, you know, limps a little bit.

And when we were smelling roses together, I would be like, no use tracking here. This one's a loser. Change your route. Mom. Keep moving.

Keep moving. Don't need this one. This one's boo. I'm just giving thumbs up to the roses really loudly. While you're around them loudly reviewing roses, is really funny. Nah, this one sucks.

No, not worth it. Not worth it. It looks good from far away. Don't come closer. It's not worth it. It's what we call it Monet, okay? No sense. International Rose Test Garden.

That's why I'm like, what the fuck is? And it's next to the Japanese garden. Yeah, yeah, has like a little tea house or something right there too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Call this one, broke boy, because it doesn't even have a scent. and that's the sort of thing that I would be saying if I was See, now you're in the co-host of my rose reviewing show

Fucked around and found out, Jack O'Brien. What is something you think is overrated? Maxing? What kind, dude? Don't just say any kind? No. That derogatory. Derogatory.

I find a new take. What else? What else is overrated? because it's not that. Yeah, let me say you from yourself to do another one. I'm really thinking we should get into minning. We're like regging. Just regging.

Just be regular regs all around, just regging. I'm going to ball men. Ball minning. Yeah, mitting it. Because, you know, men are always maxing shit that doesn't need to be maxed, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, why did you min your, like, empathy and, like, ability to communicate? and like why you try to max your balls.

Not one of the women that you would like to rape has ever said, wow, I'd really like him more if he had just like giant her balls. Not one woman has ever said that. I just wish his balls were visible from the outside of his clothes. I want to see balls. He can see it from the back. Yes. Yes, Miles.

That is exactly. He caught me like pot-or-Razzi. Stop me a glance in the cat woman. He's most deaf for that. Damn. Yeah. Mining. What is the thing that you could start minning?

Do you think if you were going to minimize it? I think men should start minning their online exposure. And opinions from other men that are grifting them. By men, I guess I mean more children, but also men. Because they target teenagers, but also men. Yeah, sure, sure. Just let's min a lot of that. Like, spend less time, like, hitting yourself in the face with a hammer because you think it's going to help you, you know.

Yeah. And maybe like, I don't know, build something with that hammer, you fucking loser. Just start, you know, no offense. People started got ego menning. You know, that's really, that's the sun. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. You got an ego.

Oh, y'all, y'all max and bro, I'm ego minning out here with this psilocybin. Watch me expand my fucking mental horizons right now. Truly. I'm like, oh, I'm like, oh, did you take up instead of stonks? Did you take up reading? Oh, actual books? I really love that. Say more.

Mining. Yeah, maybe. Why don't you max that vocab, baby? Max it. What if there was somebody who is just like using their language to give good advice? That's genius and I will be that person. Literacy maxing. You ever heard of this?

Fucking word maxing. Yeah, you got to check out these fucking flashcards I made. Look, just trying to be more. more literary, you know? Yeah, exactly. You know, I don't want my language to become homogenous, you know what I'm saying? Exactly, 100%.

No homo. You get me. You get me? It's a different kind of no homo for me now. You get me? Yeah, anyway, homosexuality occurs in nature, so my visa

really changed on that. And seed. Oh, there it is. All right, we have our new influencer. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to be right back. Pride is like love.

The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse. And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn and obsess. We're going to Wuthering Heights, which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance, age gaps, certain Russian hockey players.

And sentient objects. In love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What did black music, food, and culture teach us about who we were becoming? 2016 was sort of that last era of monoculture, where we still consumed things in community. From Beyonce and Rihanna. Everybody wanted to be Beyonce.

I don't think we'll ever see another Rihanna. To soul food, memory, identity, and the stories we carry through black culture. What does it mean to be black and eat in America? So we were this group of people who knew. how to work the land, who knew how to live with the land. We make it do what it do. Therapy for Black Girls is bringing together the conversation shaping Black Life right now. You will never make me feel bad for being a Black girl, for being a Black American girl, ever.

Therapy for Black Girls is bringing it all to the mic. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And we spent the break talking about how we were going to revise this clearly two-person child kicking robot clown into three Halloween costume

into three person costume Yep Maybe like Someone's gonna have to be the back of the robot And someone's gonna have to be The front of a robot You know what it is? There's a kid

There's a little kid Next to the kid in the pink shirt Who gets kicked in the stomach Who's holding a phone Who I always see first And think they're the one Who's gonna get kicked in the stomach Yeah

So that would actually I'd be happy to be that kid Yeah yeah the mystery I feel like you're just trying to avoid getting kicked in the stomach. Well, you're not understanding is we want to kick you in the stomach for Halloween. Yes. That's the costume. For Halloween, that's what I gave you right.

Can we kick you real quick? Right down the barrel. But like humorously, it won't hurt because it'll be like sarcastic. It won't be totally different. A parody kick doesn't hurt. Yeah, that's right. Legally, you can't get sued for a parody. He's a parody kit, dude.

It's based on this video, my honor. My honor, case dismissed. So the story, the video that we're talking about is, I think a lot of people thought. But if not, it is, if you're a long time listener, you might recognize this as the same robot who died while trying to do the moonwalk. Who's like kind of dancing around on stage. Not died. On stage, I mean... You took that Michael Jacksoning way too far.

He was taking it too far. He was trying to get up the steps and was flopping around, flipping around. Flaping around like a bathroom. Like a Roomba. Yeah, basically. Stairs are the... I mean, that was the enemy of the robot in a Robocop, the big Ed 209 robot. They're sitting in the living room with like a family of Roombas watching it being like,

damn, that's a shame. I took down our entire family. Right. We were steps, oof, we feel you on that one. Could never conquer it. Right. See stairs and they're like, just immediately start malfunctioning.

That same, is this the first time we've seen the same robot fuck up? Usually a robot fucks up and then it goes away, like to robot graveyard. Is this, I guess, is this even a fuck up? You know what I mean? Like, okay, that's the question that we have to confront. It seemed like it did it on purpose. So who would program it to kick a child? It was in the middle of a martial arts, you know, demonstration.

It was a martial arts demonstration for a crowd in China. And it was wearing the martial artist's traditional blue clown wig. That's one does. A real sensei, if you will. Yeah. Yeah. What are your sense? No, I'm a blue wig. Oh, fuck.

He's a blue wig. The enemy side just explodes. But now, as I'm like having the end of the usual suspect moment here where I'm like putting it all together, I'm like, oh, was this an accident or was the clown incognito? You know? We're not going to let this fugger around children. He can't even like get upstairs and he like tried to moonwalk and died on stage. No, no, I'm a clown. He's like, I'm a totally different.

A different robot. Yeah, totally different robot over here. I'm like Children's Entertainer, man. I don't know who that guy was. That guy was all fucked up. It's like that scene in bridesmaids when she sneaks back into first class. And the guy comes together and she, before he says anything, she's like, it's not me. It's not me.

It's not me. Yeah. And he's like, it is you. It is you. And she's like, no, I'm, I'm with him, Mrs. Iglesias. Yes. That scene is everything to me. It sounds like a demonstration, but there's like a bunch of kids gathered around while this blue wigged freak robot is just going through some, you know, basic martial arts stuff. And then I guess things go left at a certain point.

Like he's just doing kind of, yo, look at his punch. Look at his punch. Boom. Boom. Caught his ass. Now this is the best part. Where the kid gets kicked in the gut. No, no. So the kid gets kicked. That's not the best part. Oh, okay. That's the second best part. Okay.

The best part is because it's a robot, it doesn't realize it fucked up, but it just keeps doing the demonstration. It stops for a second and then it's like, okay. Here we go. Back, back, back, back. All right. Here comes for the kid. The coup de grace right here where I do a backflip and axe kick somebody in the head.

The fact that he backed up, though, I think he knows he fucked up. Yeah, yeah. There was a little bit of shame in it. Yeah. It really. I think that's when the operator was like, oh, fuck, fuck. Cancel, cancel, cancel. Abort martial arts discipline.

What operator? It's an autonomous AI being, Miles. Oh, my God. I think it's just like, though, just like the, with the dance demonstration, I think they just set it up just a few feet off. So then it has no bearing suddenly. Like, also, that kid was up in it. Someone's trying to sabotage that robot.

That kid was just up in it, too. A part of me is like, I feel like there could have been way. they were just real loose of safety. This has been clear from the moment we started talking about the story that Miles blames that kid. You're immediately like, look, was it a mistake?

I'm like the guy who owns the theme park and the robot. I'm like, I don't know, man. The fuck is that kid doing right there, man. This is clearly a fucking martial arts fucking machine, man. You're just like, let them fight. And it's just the lawyers from both sides

that you own. I guess more so I'm like upset that like if if it's done right you have to have like a space like sectioned off like you just can't have kids near these fucking robots clearly. The fact that it was loose like that was wild. Yeah. I'm surprised at a loose. Just loose children like that. Yeah. The New York Post article though is like it's funny because it's treating this like it's like doing like soft American robot propaganda.

You know what they're saying? Our robot would never kick a job. It's like, oh, shit, this thing's all messed up, huh? Like, are the machines? What began as a fun display of futuristic technology quickly turned into a scene straight out of a sci-fi nightmare. That's a little too much. What the fuck are you talking about?

It's not like he destroyed the child. Yeah, that's not a nightmare. The American version would be armed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He would have like three sets of guns, so I don't even know what. Chinese robots are, like, everybody who works in technology is like, whoa, they're like 10 years ahead of us. So, like, this is what we're looking at is New Orleans in the 30s, you know, in the 2030s. Like, this is what our future is going to look like.

This is what we aspire to if we still have a country, you know, is that our technology advances to the point that we could be like China. in, you know, a decade and all get kicked in the gut by karate robots. I mean, it just, this goes hand in hand. There's like this legislation that, like, politicians are trying to get through that would ban Chinese-made cars from even visiting the United States. Oh, yeah. Coming from Canada or Mexico, like saying, like, first of all, like, don't just want to restrict, like, the import of them or selling them of them here.

They're like, they don't even want an American person to sell. see a Chinese car. Yeah, they had that Wall Street Journal article where the person was like, I got to drive a Chinese car around an electric vehicle and like, we're on different planets. Their electric vehicles are so much better than ours in China. Like I drove it around my New Jersey suburb and it was fucking, it was like I was in the future. It was crazy. So yeah, they don't want that.

They don't want that smoke. Yeah, well, they're also like, our jobs are on the line with American car manufacturers. It's like, here the problem is no one's innovating. No, yeah, right. It's the innovation part. But how was that bailout? You guys okay with that? Okay, good.

Num, num, num, num, num, good. Yeah, but it's just so funny, though, too, like, because technologically, America's taking L's everywhere that, like, that's, like, so much attention on this video is like, and probably, like, this is kind of the problem with a lot of Chinese robots. Like, they get kids, you know what I mean? So American robots like way better, way better, way better. It would be really nice if like the lesson that was learned from any of this was ever like, you know, we should probably invest in education, huh?

Instead, the lesson's always like, oh, why don't we make sure our robots when they can kick and have guns? Don't do it to children. Or if they do, it's on purpose. A problem that doesn't exist that you are just saying confidently that you are solving. instead of solving some actual real shit where like we don't need to be last in fucking math and science. You know who's first in math and science? China. Do you see how that kid behaved?

Yeah, exactly. So maybe we don't have to invest in education. That kid couldn't even get out of the way. Crazy. Crazy. I liked a little girl in the very beginning that has her handout for a high five. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

And I was like, you should be so lucky that he missed you with that. Yeah. just would have punched straight through her hand. I just, it's so funny too. It's like, Arnman, just explodes.

Yeah, I'm just like, girl, you were so lucky. It's as if it were like a water balloon. It's just like, psh, oh my God.

I also love the Chinese. Just like a watermelon and an ad for like wearing helmets. Right. I'm sure like the people when they're like, all right, man, we got to do a demo at this

kid's amusement park. How do we make this robot a little bit more accessible? Like, it's fucking. put this blue wig on it or something. That should be enough. Should be enough.

And then, yeah, have it just kick someone right in the fucking gut. I have the dignity awarded to comedians by photographers when they're like, all right, how do we communicate that this person's a comedian? Yeah. Rubber chicken or wacky wig. Suspenders? Suspenders? That's the thing.

I was wondering what the other backup costume is, you know, like if the wig wasn't going to work. I want to know what else. They're like, oh, give him a sive. Right. I put in a sive. Like, you know, I want to know what the like comforting regular costume you wanted. Grim reaper.

Right. So I'm saying, like, why would you be like, you know what children find comforting a robot in a clown wig? This is also funny. In this New York Post article, too, they're like, exactly what caused the kick remains unclear. That's pretty clear. That's so stupid. Like, to even try and seed the idea, like, this. things, these fucking robots

they make in China, they're just going to up and kick kids. They're ready to blow at any time, man. During a pre-programmed martial arts demonstration, that's why it kicked the fucking kid. Like, what are you talking, what's the mystery here? That's again, it must have been talking shit.

That's the thing, man. They're just going to fucking, they're just going to fucking freak out on us, man. That's why you've got to keep all this stuff out of the country so people don't understand how far we've fallen behind technologically. Hey, speaking of how far are we fallen. There's a big UFC cage on the lawn of the White House. Yeah, the claw structure. As it should be. The most upsetting light rig for that. I mean, kind of. The farce that everything has

become is just when in a circle and it's now a parody of a parody of parody. And we are somehow wrapped up inside this insane timeline wrinkle burrito. And I honestly, we've got front row seats and we get blood and sweat splashed on us for free. And we never even bought the tickets. But yeah, so there's like this UFC fight. But we're still there in the front row in the splash zone. Yeah, next to Joe Rogan doing play-by-play somehow in this nightmare. But yeah, the fight is meant to celebrate Trump's 80th birthday.

That's supposed to happen on Sunday. And there's a people, there's a last-minute lawsuit to try and fucking stop it from happening. This was from the Public Integrity Project. They're basically saying that the Department of Interior and National Park Service was supposed to get congressional approval before having this private sporting event on public property then going on that there's like no environmental reviews and things like that. Not sure how effective that'll be,

but clearly they're trying to reign on Trump's birthday. But it turns out that a literal rain might actually fuck this event up. No. Yeah, yeah, that could be the one thing that could actually prevent this is there's a 65... I mean, it'll melt his fucking foundation right off. Oh my God, could you imagine he got his hair wet? There's no fucking way. It'll be three little plastered on little feathers.

You're going to see, dude, more than wind. If he gets that shit wet, that's going to look like melted cotton candy. That's like putting water on cotton candy. And everyone knows umbrellas are gay, so he can't use one. What do you do? He's not going to use an umbrella, is he, bro? That's like a female trait. Yeah, that's like only females like to be safe from the day.

the executive producer of the fight said that there's contingency plans for the weather said it will be able to continue through light to moderate rain but if there is lightning that will fucking full on stop the entire event which is why a lot of people like Joe Rogan has been like lamenting this whole thing he's like he's Joe Rogan first and foremost is worried about his own safety he's like bro you don't want to be out there is moderate fucking disgusting as bitches but like what's he worried about his safety for him. Because he's like, because of the war with Iran, he's like, you just want to have Trump out there in the open? Like, nah, I don't know. And then he always talked about it's like,

Dana White's also insane. Because remember at the White House Correspondence dinner thing, he was like, that was the sickest shit ever, bro. The guy had the guns out and fucking they got Trump out. I was like, this is fucking amazing, man, because I have like such a void in my entire soul that like weird that experience is new only thing. Yeah, truly. Like, I need a gun aimed at me. And then I can kind of my heart will start pumping again. Then I can kind of come. I've got my first direction since the time I killed a Drifter. Oh shit, man.

I finally get it. You know, and what was it? The leftovers, how that one chick just wanted to get fucking blasted through the bulletproof vest. That's like what I fucking, that was the leftovers, wasn't it? I don't know.

I ain't ever watched that show. You don't what I'm talking about? Victor, save me. Like the one lady, she was like, she got off by getting shot, but like,

the bulletproof vest on. Hey, Victor, don't help, don't help him. Don't help him. Just say, I don't know what you're talking about. Oh,

my God. I have no idea what you're talking about. And that was, he said that before I even requested that. Oh, my God. Typed it before he. Yeah, fucking Nora.

Why don't you be out here alone with your reference? You don't remember Carrie Coon? That was like, that was what it feels like. Season one. Yeah, bro, because she was just,

she was dealing with it. She was dealing with it a little bit differently. The rare show that I've only watched season two of that. I skipped season one. I watched the pilot. It was like, that's good, but then I heard it fell off.

And then season two was good. So I watched season two. Season three, they were like, season three is really good. And I said, I don't have the patience. Anyway,

there's a. Zero of it. There's a Carrie Coon reference for everybody that they could get behind. But not, so then also right now, there's a about 40% chance of thunderstorms, which would prevent this thing

from happening this already big far. And on top of it, they're selling, his sons are selling fucking commemorative, commemorative coins for this one. Of course they are. You got a show. You got to show the product. Yeah, 100%. They got to. They're trying. They're trying. There's like the, the coins go between $250 and then the most expensive one is $12,000. It seems like a good deal. I can't believe he's

turning 80. I just want them to be a financially solvent. A sitting president turning 80. Yeah, right. Where are they going to have to move? Like, once, once this, maybe it doesn't, maybe it doesn't blow over. But if fascism ever blows over, I do feel like, I feel like that his kids are going to be in for a, a rough time as far as public opinion. Yeah.

They'll just move to Argentina, like the other Nazis. They'll be fine. Yeah, right, right. That's true. I guess I shouldn't be as worried about them, but I've lost some sleep. I've lost some sleep thinking about Donald Jr. Yeah, I was really disturbed by your Ivanka neck tattoo,

but I didn't want to be rude and bring it up. To be fair, it says Vanky. Thank you. I was hoping people wouldn't realize. Vanky and Cush with a heart around it. Vanky and Cush. Sounds like the worst weed strain I've ever heard.

God. Anyways, we'll all be watching. It's probably on pay-per-view or something shit. People watch illegal streams on Twitter. Like he's not even. democratizing that part? It seems like the whole thing would be like, and look,

that's the whole point of bread and circuses. Could you imagine he comes through with like pay-per-view? Right, right. It's like, what? This spectacle is paywall? Do you understand how the fall of an empire is supposed to work? Come on, man. I mean, that's the least you could do.

Yeah. You know, the revolution will be televised. Oh, of course. I'm like, why is it's not pay-per-view? Of course it's going to be streaming on Paramel plug. Oh, Paramount Plus. Which might as well be pay-per-view. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Some bitch-ass, Barry Wise-ass, bitch-ass shit. Oh, and I think CBS might actually also be good. So look, it's guys. Oh, you think. Oh, what a surprise to me. It's doing wall-to-wall coverage. Watch for the sickest UFC. 60 minutes of pain.

Yeah, right. 250 rounds of fuck you. Let's take a quick break, and we'll come back with some pleasant news about Bumble piece. We'll be right back. Yay. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart.

Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Like everyone. Your coworker who, quote unquote, doesn't read. is reading romance. Your mom, book talk, the entire internet.

I'm Sondjana Basker. I'm Tyler McCall. And this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse. And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess. We're going to Weathering Heights. Which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200.

years. We're getting into dark romance, age gaps, certain Russian hockey players, and sentient objects in love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We're back. And bumblebees. Yay. We're back in the news. They're cool, right? You remember these dumb motherfuckers, these big, the clumsy-ass bitches of the sky.

Have you had, have you, are you, do you get stung a lot as a child? What's your history with bees? Are you okay with bees? Bumble bees don't even do that. That's true. Humble Bays are not. No, it's truly just they look clumsy to me. They're thick and delicious.

I like you're going to say something even different. Like, it's truly just like, they just look so cool. I always wanted to. I always want to catch one. Yeah. So this is, I'm going to say this is surprising because A, their bug. B, they don't, they don't look. B there B.

And C, they don't even seem like smart B. That's so fucked up that you're judging them by their speed and size to not be smart. I hate you. It really is. I deserve your direction. You deserve the chair. Honestly, this be. I deserve the bees.

Be killed. Like Nicholas, when Nicholas K's, not the bees. Yeah, you need that. They need to tighten you up. McCauley calking me. They have like really sophisticated like legs and shit. And like, sophisticated legs. You know what I mean?

When you see them carrying or making stuff, you're like, oh, I could see how you could do some shit with this. You know? They got like little Velcro legs, right? Yeah. They got the little thing. Yeah, yeah. of the legs. Yes, I'm saying like,

that seems like you could do some work. You're like, yeah, this thing's goofy. And so if you're like, oh, do their legs, do they're like, ingenious legs.

I could do it. I could use those. I could use those. Listen, the number of evenings I've spent taping Velcro to my hands and arms. Yep,

yep, just a lot of, just damage all the page. I come home with five tennis balls stuff to you. All the time. Just any brambles that I walk.

There's a patch of blonde hair. You're like, yeah, I got too close to this guy. It kind of rips them out. Yeah, I'm like, I said in line too close at the coffee place. Just scalped someone accidentally. I will say the spelling bee people, the people who named children spelling competitions after them, have been vindicated because bees are smart. They weren't fucking around.

What? What do you got? Bumble bees possess a capacity for problem solving that demonstrates, remarkable advanced cognitive abilities. Okay. That's what I thought. These better be the fucking tests I can't do. That is what I thought.

They had that brain like that. I thought so. So the test forced B is to attempt to access an artificial flower. Fucked up. Why not give them a real flower? Yeah. By A, remembering its location and B, rolling a polystyrene ball to a specific location climbing on top of it.

So basically the B version. of the test that demonstrated chimpanzees could work out how to retrieve an out-of-reach banana by stacking boxes. Wait, but how is that... The bees can fucking fly, man. What the fuck? How is shit out of reach? Hey, look, man, I got a lot of tables here.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, okay. I don't know exactly. I think it was in an enclosure situation where they can't really fly. Does that make sense? It's like it forces you to use your... Oh, because it has a low ceiling. Exactly.

So for them, it was like, Nah, bro, we're taking that shit off the table. No fucking flying. Exactly. Just polystyrene ball. Work it out. Damn, they know ball then. They know ball.

They know ball. They know ball. They know ball. They know ball. Wow. Wow. They said Nixon four. Can we say ball don't lie?

Can we be honest by that? They spelled out Nixon four with their with their excrement. 23 out of 30 bees were successful. Um, so that just that means. So this is a big thing that we covered in the Jane Goodall episode of the icons yesterday that like people were shocked that chimpanzees could use. They were like there, there was a definition of man as like tool using animal.

Right. And that was like a hard, bright line between us and animals. Crows use tools. Yeah. I mean, I don't even understand why we thought we had it like that by ourselves. We never did. Do you think, yeah? We didn't pay attention to animals.

We used them for Skinner boxes. Which one can we torture the best? Right. so that I can keep getting the science money coming in. Yeah, they use tools all over the place. Chimpanzees, Jane Goodall found them using little weeds to fish in, not ant hills, but termites. Yeah, yeah, right, I remember that. Like pulling them out and then eating those shits off like corn on the cob, just num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num.

That's so smart. Oh, so fun dip with termites. Yeah, yeah, it was basically termite. They also had multiple, so they had multiple stems. So they would be like, oh, this is a good one actually. So they like had a toolbox essentially with like multiple. They're like kind of keep this one for later. So they have like a stick caddy.

It's like, give me the, give me the spiky one. No, no, no, no. And the caddies like, if I may say, I really think you should go for the thinner, more flexible ones. Are you fucking serious? No spike. I know. I know. You've worked with the best.

All right. It's about trust. You know, just, yeah. Check out the movement of the water. God damn it. He's done it again, man. Look at all these termites on here, bro. Fuck, yeah. Can I get some?

Shut the fuck up, man. Get your own fucking career, man. And then one day you could be, that's why you're the caddy. And I'm the daddy. Gets a cut. He like tosses them a termite. Yeah, and I just go,

thank you, sir. For your trouble's hope. What's your fanci is this? And then when you turn around, I'm like, one day, I will be the, one day. Fuck with me. They call me Pimpansy. Fisher. Dr. Ali Lucola, Lucola, one of my favorite behavioral ecologists.

Yeah, absolutely. Lucola. Lucola said that most people think insects are reflex-based machines that they can't have any emotional states or feel pain. and those people are right. No, he said, some people don't even realize that they have brains. I hope that these results

change the worldview about that. They certainly have, with regards to me. That's awesome. Now, and now how do you feel about it? It can be a real behead from now on. I just think that they should think about how they're portraying.

If they're that smart, they should think about how they're coming off to the rest of the world. Move around a little more intent, okay? Yes, thank you. You look aimless. It's really off-putting. It's really off-putting.

Oh, well, so if you're so great, why did I perceive you as not being great? Look at how this motherfucker went from this flower. Didn't just go straight to the next one, going all over here, up and down, around, and then low and then high. And then just to get to the flower next to them, nah, y'all are stupid. I would just go to the next one immediately. All right. finally we got to talk Taylor Swift and you got hourglass ankles

our glass ass foggill bitch like a bumblebee like that like a man of war but the ankles help me trap pollen better shut the hourglass ass stupid velcro ass ankles I do

she shouldn't have called him barrel chest because that's he wants to be barrel chest he's like yeah you got a bird cage blown out bird cage ass it's more though it's like you have to talk about the organ growth from like the all the weird supplements in HGH these fucking guys too.

Also, she just was trying to make sure that you realize like how big his top half is and how non-existent his bottom half is. Exactly. So she just setting up the barrel chest for you to be like on them tiniest little ankles. Gru looking motherfucker. So we got reporting out of our. Got drawn from memory.

Trawn from memory. So good. Unconfirmed. reporting from TMZ, but TMZ usually write about this sort of stuff, some of our finest journalists, that Taylor-Such and Travis Kelsey is going to, their wedding's going to be more obnoxious than anyone thought possible. Between 1,100 and 1,200 guests have been invited to a July 3rd wedding at Madison Square Garden. I don't know. I actually, I don't, this doesn't bother me at all. They should do whatever they want, but it's, they've gone to great lengths to

sure privacy, including communicating with invitees via text rather than physical invitations. But I got to say, it's so weird that my first thought is it's a distraction from whatever the rail plan is. She's gone to extreme lengths to like throw the press off her sentence. She was being carried in and out of her building in a box before. Oh, hello. It's me, a frequenter of the Gaylor subreddit. Would you like me to goon real quick and clown real quick?

Get it. Get her ass. Okay. So this is what the gailers are saying. This whole thing has been an elaborate gender play. And like Travis really is with Ross, you know, his best friend that he's always with. And Taylor's been trying to come out as gay forever. and there's all these exit signs that have been planted recently in her videos, et cetera, et cetera.

There's all these other little connections that I will not go into, but they are on the sub right at Honey. And basically the thing is they think that it's going to be a double coming out for Bill's the house. That's fucking tight. Isn't this the best conspiracy theory you've ever heard? That's why I stay there. It's so fun. I actually now that has to happen.

It's so fun. It's like the fan theories that are better than what the, what actually happens in the movies, like in Twilight or... Because they're like, she's been dropping hints about coming out, you know, like it was thwarted, you know, when she was going to come out with Carly Kloss in that Vogue issue. And then, like, Scott, whatever.

What's his face? Van Pelt. The guy that owns her master's. Scooter Braun, you mean? Thank you. They're all Scott to me. Sydney, Sweenies. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Scooter Braun was like, no, you can't come out. And so she didn't come out, but Christian Seriana had made that rainbow dress that's really famous that he posted being like, oh, I can't wait for this to be blah, blah, blah, pride day. She was going to come out. She didn't come out. Billy Porter ended up wearing the rainbow gown. And it was clearly not for Billy Porter because the flesh, quote unquote, colored panels on the sides were white. Oh, right.

Like for white person's skin. And so. Taylor Swift, white? Yeah, I guess she is. I don't know. I don't know. Jack doesn't see race.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're really progressive. I've heard that. I don't even know when white people are white, to be honest. It's like so hard for me. Yeah. Anyway, so how fun is that conspiracy theory?

I love that so much more. Because that's like, that feels like like some shit from a heated rivalry, like a novel. You know what I mean? We're like the biggest pop star. Yeah, yeah. An NFL. Star, they're planning this event. Oh, fucking okey-doked you because now we're both gay and this is a huge coming out party.

Welcome to Madison Square Garden. Dude, people were like- It should have happened during Pride though. That's the one thing. It's happening in July. It's Pride months. Well, they don't want to overshadow. Oh, yeah, no, I guess.

Because it'll be in July, technically. Yeah, I guess they're overshadowing America's 250th. Yeah. Do you think this would be bigger than the signing of the Declaration of Independence if they did what you're describing? Yes, yes. Duh. I think honestly, my- We would be celebrating this 250 years in the future.

I think numerically, the people who even know what the signing of the Declaration of Independence would be dwarfed by the number of people who knew that the Madison Square Garden, quote-unquote, wedding was just the Travis and Taylor coming out ceremony. Right. That would be all people talked about for the longest time. But if it depends on who ends up winning American history, because if it's the conservative, and that was the day the blood oath was signed by demons at Madison Square Garden in front of the masses and when we had to enact, you know, these like even more stringent anti-gay laws, or it could be a fantastic moment. I don't know. But do you think this is a distraction from what, just like a small, probably a smaller intimate wedding somewhere not in Manhattan? Yeah, that would be my guess. is that like they set this up, they throw everybody off the scent,

they send a lookalike in, you know, and then they have like a normal wedding somewhere else. The thing that I think is wild is that they're like, oh, no, to ensure privacy will be texting instead of whatever. Okay, do you not think people could take a screenshot of a text? I don't understand how they think they're making this any more private.

The implication is that she has hacked everybody's phones and can watch whatever. Everybody does with their phones. And you, of course, know that I'm working with the intelligence community and can track whatever everybody does. Yeah. I mean, already, I think even just the number of people, that's where I'm a bit dubious. Like, I feel like they wouldn't invite 1,200 people to their way. 1,100 to 1,200 people.

They're estimating that it would cost about $20 million. What? And I also. That's before florals. For the venue, why would you have it at Madison? Is that a thing that anyone has ever done? Like, I know they had JFK's birthday at Madison Square Garden, but it was like a packed house. And they were, like, that was where Maryland Monroe was saying,

happy birthday, Mr. President. Like, but, like, having a wedding there, if you're inviting 1,100 people, isn't it going to feel like a, like, the most poorly, attended concert of all time? That's what, yeah, that's, I'm like, it, if kind of falls apart the second you even just think about it, that's not, that's like, it's like, it's like, it would only make sense if it was like, you know, when you go to a club and they have like a little private room, you get to the Madison Square or and you're like, yeah, where's the little private room for the 1,200-person wedding? They're like, no, this is it.

Right here, lower bowl. Lower bowl. Yeah, there is a, there is like a little stadium like underneath, or like a little theater underneath the big stage that I've seen. Wait, there is? Yeah, there is. Yeah, there is. Yeah, there's a smaller room that's like a couple.

I forget, like, I think it's a couple thousand people seated there. So, dude, you just answered the question. That's where they're getting married. But again, maybe. Why would someone? It's like not that nice a theater. Yeah, it's like, if you're so into aesthetics, getting married. But if it's on your ground, it's probably a lot more private than above ground, which is where we all reside.

Yeah. You said that like someone who lives underground and is trying to throw people off. Because it would be really crazy if somebody lived underground and I think it would be weird. And how would they just go down there? That's crazy, man. You surface dwellers, I mean, us regular people. The way we love the air up here is, wow. Yeah, I see this being like, I feel like they would get married on some oligarchs island.

You know what I mean? Like that where they can control the airspace or something rather than being like, we have to do it in a closed. arena so people don't get pictures. And it plays so big that you already have to have all kinds of staff on hand to run the venue. Right. I'm guessing they do a private wedding with just the families and whatever on an island, probably like the day before, a couple days before. And then this is probably yeah, this like, yeah, they buy Croatia for like a day. Yeah. And then I think like probably that's going to be just a big ass party. Yeah. Oh, look at this. What? You found out what? No, but AOL.com, where I don't get all of my news.

That's the harshest news. I just looked for the latest reporting on this. And they are saying, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey Wedding Buzz takes turn with decoy theory. So apparently I'm not the only person who's saying that this is a decoy situation. Because it's going to be a big coming out party, right? Right. Hell yeah. Taylor Swift wedding behavior reportedly unrecognizable to guests.

four hours ago. I don't know what that means. What is that fucking meme, bro? Like visually or like personality? So they're saying like her having the wedding at Madison Square Garden doesn't sound like her? I see. I guess I know we're better than we all thought, you know, because I'm like, guys, no, not my Taylor. Couldn't be.

Absolutely could not be my pay-time. No. Sophia, such a pleasure having you on the day. Where can people find you, follow you? Here you see you all that good stuff. I love you guys so much. It's so nice to be reunited. I'm at Vesofi-A.

On Instagram, I barely post. I'm trying to get better. But, you know, check that out. I will be doing stand-up and I am not dead. That's nice to know. And I have a podcast with Miles called 420 Day Fiance and you should listen to it. Amazing.

Right. I agree. Amazing. Is there a working media you've been enjoying? I mean, just reading and rereading those Doja Cat tweets. Give me strength, Doja Cat. No, actually, I started reading an article. Oh.

That I really like, and I'm trying to fucking get to it. Oh, it's called You Can Run, and it's at the Adivist magazine, and I think if you Google that, you'll find it. This is the little log line. When the parents ripped two young sisters from their privileged lives, gave them fake names, and took them on the lamb,

they thought it was because their father was in trouble with the IRS. It would be years before they learned the truth about his life of crime. Damn. Oh, okay. I thought it was going to be like a runner's world article. Yeah. Oh, dude.

Yeah. I don't want that. Every week. That's their same article. Still good. Running. Still love it. Still good.

Amazing. Miles, where can people find you as their working media you've been enjoying? Yeah, find me everywhere

at Miles of Gray. You already heard, Sophia. You find us talking shit about 90-day fiancé on 420-day fiancé. And then also I'm talking about the football,

the footy, and the upcoming tournament. That'll be on Ana Footie with Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin. Working media, like, I started watching Paradise.

Oh, because everyone's like, man, it's paradise, see paradise scene paradise. And so many guests have talked about it that when I can get Her Majesty to not watch off campus for the ninth time through, we're watching that together right now. And, you know, I like seeing that little,

that onion be peeled away. I'm not watching Paradise, watching the show Widows Bay, which is, is that good? It's like a horror comedy series. It's kind of like, more horror than this implies,

but the, like, premises, what if the movie Jaws was told from the mayor's perspective? And the mayor was the protagonist of that, but it's like a very haunted island. And they just do it. The horror is done really well.

The comedy's done really well. It is appropriately enough. But the showrunner is Katie Dippold, who is the person from Twitter, who has the throwback to, Throwback to Thursday to Halloween when I dressed as the Babaduke, but my friend's house had more of a grown-up drinking wine vibe. And then a picture of her in the most screen-accurate Babaduke costume next to a guy in like a flannel shirt.
