Brian Kiley. Hello. Hey. Hey, Brian. Congratulations on the baby. Oh, thanks, man. That's huge. What do you have already? We have a boy, and my wife really wants a girl. I kind of want a girl as well, and we are not finding out this time because we feel like we'll be happy on the day of either way. Sure, sure. Well, I have a boy and a girl.

Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Congratulations. You've been blessed, sir. Well, they're in college, but they do. They're now man and woman. Brian, I have to tell you up top i'm a huge fan yeah you are uh and conan is one of my favorite shows and your stand-up your joke writing is unbelievable we have one of the world's greatest joke writers in our midst today and later on i'm

going to pick your brain i should leave okay and that was brian thank you he has a daughter and a son yeah brian uh we start out by asking people, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Well, I play a lot of Sporkle. Do you play Sporkle? I don't. Do you know what Sporkle is? I don't. It's a website. It's quizzes. So it's just trivia quizzes and it's every day they change them and it'll be literature, it'll be miscellaneous, it'll be history or whatever so i'm kind of a history buff and i enjoy the history ones and sometimes they're very easy

so the one i did yesterday it was 18th century women i didn't do very well oh and i was like oh how unprogressive of you i know i felt terrible so what i did was i saw what i gotta do is each day as i look up one of the ones I don't know on Wikipedia. So I looked up this woman yesterday named something Kaufman and it was actually – it was interesting. Her dad – she was this famous painter. She became famous at age 12 and her dad was a painter and a muralist. But he was kind of not very successful. He traveled around but she was his prodigy. Kind of not very successful. He traveled around, but she was his prodigy.

And the part that really I found very interesting, there was a part where she married some prince who turned out to be an imposter. Oh, wow. She got catfished. Yes, and then left him a year later. Yeah. So that – it's just a little aside on Wikipedia. You're like, wait. I want to hear about the impossible. That's one of my favorite underrated things about history is that, yeah, they had a version of catfishing where people just claimed they were a person. And then when you saw them, they would still claim they were that person because, like, you couldn't – there were no photographs.

Sure, sure. You know, fingerprints were not invented yet. So you could just claim to be someone for your whole life. Yes, the FBI couldn't fax over an oil painting of the guy. Right, exactly. Or whatever. We'll send our best painter over an oil painting of the guy or whatever. We'll send our best painter over to draw him so he can see. Is this Angelica Kaufman?

I think it was. That's right. I couldn't think of her first name. I was just looking up. I just went, 17th century painter, Kaufman. It's also interesting, those days, someone would die, and then someone would show up and go, I'm that person. Right. I'm not sure they died.

Nope. Yeah, but here I am. You imagine that. Would you hear – can you verify that? No. That seemed to happen in Russia all the time. Yeah, Russia was really big on that. Yeah.

Oh, was Anastasia like – wasn't she like an imposter? Yeah, that was a big thing. Yeah, they were all gunned down. Right. Anastasia didn't come back. No, I was fine. They missed me. No.

They didn't miss anybody. They got everybody. Right. What is something you think is underrated? Hmm. Don't you feel like everything is either overrated or underrated? I feel like – Sort of.

Nothing is ever properly – Rated. Rated. There you go. You know? Yeah. When I was a kid, there was this baseball player named Joe Rudy who was always getting these accolades as the most underrated player in the league.

And he got so many that he became overrated where it's like – you know what I mean? Yeah. And whatever comedian I like, sometimes I get all this buzz about them and it's like, all right, now you're overdoing it. Right. Right. It's very hard for people to be rated just where they belong. This is a very philosophical read of this.

No, I like that though. Do you see what I mean? But yeah, where is the middle? Yes. That's what I think is – maybe that's though but yeah where is the middle yes where's that's what i think is maybe that's what's underrated is there anything is the middle is there anything to you that is universally properly rated in your opinion that isn't like an element uh from in my life sure yeah uh well uh my incredible terrible singing ability is properly rated as awful right say

yeah so i think there are things that are rated correctly in my life. Right, right, right. Yeah. Are you a terrible singer? I am. Do you do a lot of karaoke? I don't sing alone in the car. That's how bad I am.

You're just like, oh, God. You're like, oh, what is that? Oh, wow. I might be bugged, you know? I don't want to do that to this yet. Oh, even I don't want to hear that. Yeah. Chuck Klosterman did an article about all the

overrated, underrated bands, and he said the only properly rated band, I think, was Van Halen, maybe? Or Van Halen was the most properly rated, because it's just like, yeah, they were pretty good, but everybody knows of them. Yeah, no one's like, Van Halen is the greatest gift of music. Nobody tours with Van Halen. They're just like, yeah, they have some cool songs. I'm sure there are people that do follow Van Halen. Right, like with Van Halen. They're just like, yeah, they have some cool songs. I'm sure there are people that do follow Van Halen. Right. Like Eddie Van Halen. Right.

Yeah. All right. Let's get into the format. We're trying to take a sample of what people are thinking and talking about right now. And the way we like to open that up is by asking our guest, what is a myth? What's something people think is true that you, based on your personal experience, know not to be? Well, it's interesting. My son goes to college in Ohio.

So we were out there not long ago and went to the Football Hall of Fame. And they had this whole thing about sports building character. No. No. I mean I know I'm busting the easiest myth in the world. But what are you talking about? They point to like Alan Page who is a great defensive player who is now a judge and they point to one or two. It's like, OK. We got OJ Simpson.

We got Aaron Bennett. We got Ray Carruth. Ray Carruth. That's a great one. The only two murderers I know from my life were both great football players. Oh, really? Yeah. My old football coach is now in prison for murder.

Oh, wow. Oh, so you mean murderers who you personally have interaction with? Yes. And a kid from my little league team, murderer. Wow. Yes. And was he the best player on your little league team? Oh, yeah.

He was like 5'10", 12 years old, like 170 pounds. And he would hit these titanic home runs every game. Yeah. He was a beast. And a fantastic football player. Murderer. There you game. Yeah. He was a beast. And a fantastic football player. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point because people who are incredibly good at sports generally have just natural innate gifts that they don't really need to learn how to get there.

And so things just come easy to them. Things are given to them, like, all through their formative years. And I feel like that's not necessarily the best way to build character, maybe. Yeah, absolutely. And I think it's, oh, that they put the team first. No, they don't. And also football, they're very good at being violent, which if you're going to be a murderer, being good at being violent is really one of the key things I would think. That's up there on the list.

I mean, sure, you can poison somebody or whatever. But for the most part, these are violent crimes. That's what a chess player does. Right. That's not how a football player murders. Yes. Yes. Exactly.

Absolutely. That's reading some riff about how poisoning is the womanly way to murder someone. I have heard that. Yeah. the womanly way to murder yes yeah i have heard that yeah that that's like whereas uh you know shooting and stabbing that's like violent because it's it's manly because you're like yeah yeah basically and that my brother who's a cop told me that uh very often when women shoot somebody it's usually multiple shots oh and the guy will just shoot somebody one time i took care of him.

I just shot him in the head. Huh. Oh, it's like there's more. It's more cathartic. I guess so. I took care of it. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. Give a woman an inch and, you know, I mean. Next thing you know. Right. Am I right, guys? Sure. So the other thing about sports is, you know, like a lot of kids just do it because their parents, they think they're just doing it because their parents will be happy that they're doing it too. Like I grew up with my dad always saying like, whenever, whenever I was playing a sport,

he was like, you want to be playing this, right? I'm like, yeah. He's like, cause I don't care. Right. Right. Right. I don't want you to think I want you to be doing this because he's like, I grew up with my dad telling me like, you're going to play football. And I hated it. And I hated being there. And I hated being yelled at. And it's true. Like for some kids, it's not, sports isn't actually, it's probably a bad environment for some people too.

Sure, sure. Like me, I'm sensitive. I don't have to be yelled at. But yeah, I guess that's true. Does it really build? I mean, I think it builds

basic team building or teamwork maybe. But that's true. Maybe you can murder with somebody and not have to do it. Yeah. If you are a, like, maybe average to above average athlete and you have to rely on your teammates and, like, understand the game.

That's why coaches are never, like, former Michael Jordans. They're former, like, scratchy point guards or, you know, Avery Johnson or whatever. Like, you know, people who had to scrap to get where they are. So, yeah, it's an interesting question. But, yeah, I'm sure if there were, like, team painting events or team, like, things like that, like that, you know, who knows what we could be. There's an opportunity cost there. We're having kids spend, you know, eight hours of their time, like, playing football

when they could be learning other life skills that don't teach you how to murder. All right. Let's get into the stories of the day. Speaking of murder. So yesterday was Trump Free Thursdays. Yes. We were not speaking about Donald Trump.

Yeah, you missed Trump Free Thursdays. I wish the whole country had those. That's awesome. And so we didn't get to talk about his empathetic press conference with the families of the victims from the Florida shooting where he had a little note card that taught him – told him what was the number? Empathy skills. Right. It was like – listen. was like listen i hear you or something like yeah number four was i hear you right right yeah number five number five i have it's hard because his hands obscuring it but the first one was what would you most want me to know

about your experience then number two said what can we do to help you feel safe and then you can't read four or five and then number five is just i just, I hear you. Right. Which is mind blowing that it's clearly too, like someone else's panicked scrawl, like on there. It was like, please just remember, like a human. Yeah. Remember this. Like conservatives were like, what? So the guy has notes.

What's wrong with that? But it's like, it's like having breathe written on there. It's like, these are natural things that humans do in conversations. Right. That is why that is a strange thing. The conclusion that he has seemingly come to is that the issues are really mental health care and teachers not having enough guns. Right. It seems like is his main thing.

Not having enough guns, it seems like, is his main thing. There was an armed officer at the school. We'll get to the mental health thing in a minute. But there was, it came out yesterday, an armed officer there who just kind of stayed outside in cover formation and waited for the cops to arrive, even though he was supposed to be that guy. And, yeah, it's an interesting thing. Like, it's very depressing, and, you know, it's Jesus, he was right there. Like, he could have stopped it. Like, it's a very frustrating, horrifying thing to realize.

a very frustrating horrifying uh thing to to realize uh the really notable thing for me is that they came out and said his name immediately and were and nobody is like and obviously this is he's gonna never sleep again and like his life is ruined people are just like yeah this guy's a coward we fired him uh like it just seems like just such an open – I don't know. The court of public opinion is just being just like, yeah, no, fuck him. He should kill himself. That's probably what he should do. And it's a terrible situation because you're in law enforcement and that's like you go into law enforcement with a duty to serve and protect. And when you can't do that, I mean like like, God, you try and put yourself in a

situation like that. On one hand, you feel like, well, you're in law enforcement. So of course, you knew that's part of the job. So why didn't you do it? And on the other, just the humanity of that for a person just to be in some very scary, like fight or flight thing, and they just sort of shut down or whatever. Right. They freeze, which is, as I've talked about on this show, my immediate response in fight or flight is I just shut down. I've never won an argument with my wife because my brain just shuts down and I just go, yeah. She's just not a superior intellect? Yeah.

Yeah, there's that too. So that couple of years. Yeah, yeah. No, obviously. Man, if it weren't for this brain, man, I'd be owning her. Right. But yeah, so I don't know know i can empathize with the guy uh obviously you know we wish there was somebody there who you know had had the ability to go in there and uh save

people's lives and if it was somebody i knew or loved in in that school who you know he failed to go on and intervene on the behalf of, I would probably be equally frustrated. But it's just weird that, I don't know, it seems like the sort of thing that people usually are like, well, that is obviously horrible that he's now openly being shamed like this. Yeah, but now he's just getting dragged out as sort of like the lightning rod for everyone's finger pointing. Especially, I think, today when Trump was giving a speech at CPAC, called him out too.

Oh, Trump called him out? Yeah. So it's just – the whole thing is just a terrible situation and this is just another person who's probably going to be deeply affected by that for the rest of his life. Yeah. for the rest of his life. Yeah. The NRA is starting to actually, you know, it's been a thing where we have had many mass shootings and our response has been, you know, well, surely this will make people realize that the NRA's policies are crazy and not beneficial to our species in our country.

And that hasn't been the case. But it seems like public opinion might be moving slightly. Yeah. Well, because now a lot of companies are who used to do business with the NRA are starting to back away like First National Bank of Omaha, who used to do like the official nra credit card they were like no we can't we can't do this anymore because like i think their sort of mission statement as a bank is like we try and make sure like people pass the good person test and we want to be doing right and it just didn't vibe with i guess this time it finally didn't vibe

with their their values and then also enterprise alamo and national runner rental cars semantic who does like norton antivirus and lifelock chubb insurance like a lot of these places were giving discounts to nra members which is typically how why a lot of these companies are in business with the nra is to offer them discounts like triple a or aarp or something like that so and so i have to be okay with norton antivirus now? Yeah. That fucking sucks. Peter Norton is a great art collector too, a prolific art collector. Prolific but not great? Yeah. I mean, that's to be debated.

But now it's a sort of like – I think since clearly these companies see that the optics are very bad. So I do want to commend these companies for saying, yes, we don't want any part with this. There are many companies that still do and who aren't really – doesn't look like they're willing to budge, like Avis Rent-A-Car, Hertz, Budget, Allied Van Lines, MetLife, Trucar, and FedEx is like the biggest one, I think, that I think people should really be putting pressure on because it's – I don't know. It's clear that the NRA is just here to advocate for the manufacturers of guns

under the guise of representing gun owners. And now I don't think there's really any reason to be in business or in bed with these people anymore. And yeah, and also, too, I know a lot of people point to this, like boycott the NRA or these businesses as being a way to induce any kind of change. It probably isn't the most effective way to induce any legislative change. But in terms of inducing that change, I think people also need to be very aware of who in Congress is getting a ton of money from the NRA and making sure that you're holding them accountable, whether that's making them reject the money of the NRA or voting them out of office. And we'll have a list of that. We'll tweet that out later so you can know who should be on your radar and who shouldn't be.

And also the few Democrats that take it, too. So shame on y'all. Yeah. And they came out strong then or yesterday. Wayne LaPierre came out pretty strongly. Usually they wait until the stories died down and then quietly are like, yeah, fuck you. That's right. That's right. That's right.

So was he talking about mental health? What was he talking about? He talked about mental health. He talked about better arming our elementary schools, having more guns at our elementary schools because, you know, we have guns at airports, you know, protecting planes. So why shouldn't we have guns protecting our second graders? The answer is always more guns.

But there was a deputy there who was armed. Yeah. Right. But I think they're just blowing past that. You know what I mean? Like it's crazy. But I mean to train teachers who have no experience. This guy had lots of experience and he froze, which –

Yeah. I don't know what they expect. We need Marines. Highly trained Marines. and he froze which yeah you know i don't know what we need marines highly trained you're already asking these underpaid teachers who have to go out of their way to even buy school supplies for their students now on top of that you're like oh we want you to pack heat right and bust back it well i mean i think the answer to that is bonuses one-time bonuses like that's trump's answer to everything and that's seriously what he said. He was like, we'll give them financial bonuses if they learn to like carry guns and carry guns in the classroom. So yeah.

Would you ever – as parents to you, is there any – are there security measures that seem appropriate to you? I'm just glad when I was a kid that none of my teachers had a gun because they definitely would have shot me. Oh, man. I had a calculus teacher who would rage out regularly on us. Yeah. Crazy. He threw his Diet Coke can across the room, Mr. Gamble. And that's the kind of person I always thought of me.

Like, oh. Yeah. Because teachers are stressed, too. Because it is not an easy job. Yeah. So I don't think you want to then – I mean, not that everyone is a liability, but that's not the answer. Don't add another responsibility to these people who are already – you're like, oh, we'll teach my kids right from wrong, educate them, and do all this other stuff. Yeah.

No, I mean I think the next solution for them is going to be to arm the students themselves. I think that has been suggested. At least I've heard it suggested. Well, the walkout with the kids I found very interesting. Yeah. And weren't some of them being suspended? But yeah, I don't know. I do admire the sort of the response to- That kind of groundswell or whatever. Yeah. Well, it's nice to see. I mean, activism really does start with young people and with certain issues, and it's just great to see how quickly these students mobilized.

Because I know in Texas they were like trying to threaten kids with suspension for exercising their constitutional rights. But also with social media now, they can activate quickly. They can – a bunch of people can be reached in a short amount of time. Yeah, totally. And it's a matter of making that sustained and focused and well organized. I know that there's been some studies that say that the social media protests have been good in terms of being quick to spread and easy to get more and more people out. Like the the Women's March was one of the largest protests in the history of the country. And, you know, even the organizers said it was largely because they were able to organize things on social media. But, you know, there's also you need to find ways to actually make that sustained and to affect change so that that's not just like a social media event, but an actual sustained story.

Right, right. Yeah, hopefully they're able to do that. All right. We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back. be right back. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two

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

This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.

Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?

We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we were just talking at the break about how difficult it can be to sort of strike the balance of when to joke about a serious story like that. And you were saying, Brian, that you, you know, as a writer for Conan, you face that balance on a regular basis, right? Yeah.

I mean, you know, there's topics like this that you won't go near. on a regular basis, right? Yeah. I mean, you know, there's topics like this that you won't go near. But it's also interesting that it's become a thing where the late night host, there'll be some tragedy like this and they'll come out and they won't do comedy and they'll just have a 10-minute sort of their take on whatever. Right. And, you know, Conan made a very interesting point the last time because it's hard to keep

track of them now. Yeah. I don't know if it was las vegas or right or orlando or whatever so the springs or yeah he was like okay what am i i have to come out and talk about this and we can't do any comedy and we get whatever and they gave him a file of old this is what you said the last couple of times and he was like really there's a file oh yeah i remember that i have to you know on these tragedies of this is how you know and that's just right it's so shameful that's so awful that this is this regular thing and this is how you deal with it and it's so frequent that there's a protocol or something right now and that was what he was commenting on and it was just – with Sandy Hook and Las Vegas

and Orlando and these things that you think, well, after all those children were killed, you thought, well, OK. Well, finally people – no. I don't know. It just becomes so frustrating that it's hard not to be cynical and think, well, nothing's going to happen. Yeah. And it's interesting now, like especially so many late night hosts have been a voice of like reason at times more so than the representatives in government.

Right, right. Do you guys sort of in the writer's room like wrestle with like when do you speak about something? Is there something worth sort of coming out with a serious tone about or how do you guys sort of see that responsibility? Well, it's – we're trying to make jokes. So it's kind of – Yeah, right, right, right. We're trying not to do that. So – and then even sometimes you have some unrelated thing that you go, oh, people are going to think we're talking about that.

Or even if we had a high school piece that had nothing to do with that, that we're playing – oh, we can't do that because now you're talking about high school. Everybody's mind goes to – Everyone goes – exactly. So to me, the whole thing is the slippery slope where they say, well, let's have – if you have ties to ISIS, you shouldn't be allowed to buy a gun. Oh, we can't have that. Right, right, right. It's like, well, wait. Who's in favor of ISIS getting guns? Do you know what I mean?

I understand. Right. Why would right-wing people – why would – who's on that side? Right. We're actually a pro-ISIS podcast. We've got you by ISIS. You know, that three-hour indoctrination had me curious on the way in, but I didn't think it was right. Those training videos really seemed interesting.

A lot of special effects. So we're going to get into one of the more fun ways people have responded to this most recent mass shooting. They're three billboards in politicians. They're I'm sorry. There's three. But billboards thing. Oh, the three billboards. Yeah.

I hope that's they're they're putting it. Yeah. They some protesters in London after this giant Grenfell Tower fire that killed 71 people. And it was found that, you know, they were not prepared for the fires and that they had rather than, you know, spend a thousand dollars on upgrades that would have saved people's lives. They just like chose cost cutting measures instead. So over there, they put up three billboards that said 71 dead and still no arrests.

How come? Over there, they put up three billboards that said 71 dead and still no arrests. How come? And now in Florida, Marco Rubio is getting the Woody Harrelson treatment. Wow. And we don't mean that he's marrying an Australian woman who's like 30 years younger than him and completely out of his league. But three trucks with billboards like like the ones from the movie, circled his office for an hour. And they said,

slaughtered in school and still no gun control. How come Marco Rubio? And yeah, I don't know. I like that. And he was confronted right in a town hall or something. Yeah. Two days ago.

One of them. Yeah. The students just point blank were like, hey, will you refuse money from the NRN? He was like, people buy into my agenda, so I can't. It's like, wow. He literally said people buy into it.

I mean, he got booed. I mean, he earned that NRA money, I guess, if you're going to stand up there and fucking really say that in front of a group of people like that. Jesus. So, I mean, what I really like about these billboards, it's like it's different than a human because you can't argue with a billboard. Right. You know what I mean? There's like a power to it if you just leave it there because the words are there for everyone to read and you can't rebut an inanimate object. So there's like a subtle power to it too that I kind of admire about these moves.

Yeah. And I think people are doing that in Wisconsin too. Right. Like Paul Ryan. How come Speaker Ryan billboard up? That one's actually permanent. of admire about these moves yeah um and i think people are doing that in wisconsin too right like how come speaker ryan billboard up that one's actually permanent it's not like on a moving truck oh they bought like some ad space yeah they put up the money bought some ad space uh i don't know specifically what they were coming at him uh with regards to but no it was the gun reform thing too oh it was like, it's a progressive PAC. It said 17 killed in their classrooms, still no gun reform.

How come, Paul Ryan? Well, you know, we had that assault weapon ban for 10 years. Right. And I'd be curious of how many mass shootings there were during that, you know, yes, Columbine happened during that. But Columbine was so shocking and, you know, seen as such a crazy event that we still, you know, think about Columbine. And that had two fewer killed than this Florida mass shooting. And it seemed like, you know, the news stopped for like months back then. And now it's just – It does seem like it's a couple times a week. I mean this is a big one, but it does seem like there's a school shooting. Yeah. Yeah.

And that's what I think maybe why things are starting to change a bit because maybe we've reached that threshold where people are starting to feel disgusted by the fact that it feels normal. Certainly that's how it felt over here because we were like oh man another one and then we were just kind of really bummed out that we were like our response was like another i know rather than you know we weren't aghast like what like what's going on i think that's i hope that's what's happening now yeah um and it seems like the students response and yeah like walking out and, you know, holding the rallies and, you know, I think they're going to Washington soon is another difference, another thing that's sort of separating this. An interesting continuation of a long-held trend of using movie tactics to protest, like the Guy Fawkes mask from V for V you know, it was like raising a fist in the Hunger Games universe. That became a form of protest in Thailand, like a way to protest their government, keeping them under military rule.

And by the end, it was illegal to put up the three fingers from Hunger Games. What is the three fingers from Hunger Games? I think they just go like that. See, I'm torn because anything anti-Hunger Games, I'm kind of – Right. I'm on board with it. Yeah. Like you should outlaw that.

Right. Yeah, because when students are like detained at a – like did they did it at a movie or something? Yeah. And some kids got – And then they didn't let the movie, the third movie in the series come out because of it. So Three Billboards, they're going to make it so kids can't go and hang out at three billboards anymore it was such a hit with the teens hey speaking of teens miles yeah what a segue uh kylie jenner might have just cost snapchat uh 1.6 billion dollars when she tweeted

yesterday so does anyone else not open snap Snapchat anymore or is it just me? This is so sad. And by the end of the day, Snapchat stock fell by 6%, which that's $14 million a character. So that's $1.6 billion. It just shows you. You look in shock. I am. That's incredible.

Yeah, because she is sort of their unofficial spokesperson. She was very popular on Snapchat. Now, what if she said, does anyone really support the NRA anymore? Right, right, right. Their stock just – Exactly. Hey, that's a new campaign, actually. If she can cause $1.6 billion worth of damage to Snapchat –

We've got to use the power of Kylie Jenner. Yeah, exactly. I think we would need like Chris Pine or some sort of – No, but Kylie is talking to the children. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because, yeah, before she was pregnant, she was like a prolific Snapchat user.

And then during her pregnancy, she sort of fell off social media and then it just sort of became all Instagram. Right. And Instagram has been basically like just doing Snapchat. Just replacing it. Yeah, like in Instagram. I personally don't understand Snapchat. I mean I do, but the appeal – it doesn't totally appeal to me. And so what is the appeal of Instagram?

It's just because you sort of boost your ego by seeing how many followers you have. So you can quantify something like that. Also, you can upload images that are there. They're not temporary because on Snapchat, they vanish after a day. But the thing is with Instagram, they've also put basically the Snapchat feature into Instagram. So you can do like sort of 24-hour video clips or these sort of temporary content things. Sorry to sound like an old guy, but what is – so what's the difference with then with Twitter than with Instagram? Like what's the advantage of Instagram over Twitter I guess?

They're sort of different because Twitter is more about text. I see. Whereas Instagram is specifically just photographs. I see. Yeah, yeah, and video. But yeah, but the kids were loving the Snapchat and now – I mean it seems like there have been a lot of stories like over the last year of how it's kind of a really wacky place to work and the uh oh is that right yeah it's declining a bit so yeah and i guess now with kylie jenner announcing sure i mean oh yeah if she was so yeah does anyone else uh not open snapchat cost you a billion dollars so

yeah i mean that's – Millennials are ruining everything. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. They're ruining Snapchat. They're ruining Snapchat. For us oldsters. Yeah.

So there was a story that was kind of in the top five on the New York Times. We're just going to kind of jump around here to different stories that we wanted to hit this week. we wanted to hit this week. And there was a story that was kind of in the top five on the New York Times all week that was about this new diet study from the JAMA, J-A-M-A. I think that's a medical journal. And it basically found that people who cut back on calories, who count calories and just make sure not to go over a certain calorie count in a given day, actually don't lose weight. And the way to lose weight is just to, you know, you can eat lots of food as long as you're eating vegetables and whole foods without worrying about,

you know, counting calories or limiting portion size it's just you can't cheat on what what those foods are it's all about food quality right uh and not quantity which is something i kind of always suspected uh because so my logical it's logical and it's just based on my personal experience when i uh would go to my in-laws house. My in-laws are Korean. They cook just traditional Korean food. And it's all, you know, really it doesn't have any like processed sugar in it. And my body would like start going into withdrawals.

Like I would I would like start craving just like sugar and like, you know, flour. And I ended up they live way out in the sticks. I ended up driving like an hour to a Domino's pizza and just eating a whole pizza in the driver's seat of my car. Oh, just like shaking like a crackhead. All right. Yeah. So things were going well. And, uh, but I think that, yeah, it's like our bodies are so on this sort of treadmill of just getting like the sugar and the, you know, processed carbohydrates and stuff that it affects us more than we realize.

And, you know, when I tried to just eat like you were supposed to eat, like a human being is supposed to eat, I felt the difference. Like you can tell the difference, but yeah, you can eat as much as you want. It's just your body won't crave the stuff because your body it's not craveable. It's just like whole wholesome food. Just don't eat shitty food guys. Yeah. Eat wholesome food. You want to diet Brian? Uh, No, but it's so un-American to – Right. Right, right. I do remember when they started putting the calorie counts.

Like I would go to Dunkin' Donuts when I was living in Boston or New York and I would – I go, I'm not going to have a donut. I'll have a bran muffin thinking I'm being healthy. Right, right. And they post the calories and the donut is like 200 calories and the bran was like 500 right you're like what yep so i was often duped into what uh you know but it is it's like oh now you're taking that away from me too yeah yeah you know yeah and i mean i think the logic behind the bran muffins and all that stuff is like you just add the healthy thing and somehow it like magically becomes healthy even though it's still cake. It's like, yeah, but I've added this healthy thing.

And that doesn't work either. We're not saying that you just add a bunch of healthy stuff to your donuts and that works, unfortunately. Just eat like your grandparents did. Well, I also – I get migraines. So I have to be careful about – like I can't have caffeine. I can't have chocolate, certain cheeses. I can't have like processed – yeah. A cheese-induced migraine?

Yeah. I actually had to – because I was cutting out different things and then I read this book and I had all these – but it's like – it's that. It's like I have – anything could mean for me a fond memory can – anything that brings me joy. Just me talking about that. It's like anything could mean for me. A fond memory can – anything that brings me – Just me talking about that Domino's thing suddenly puts you on the – You go, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the coffee is the big one, red wine especially. But even alcohol, I have to be very careful.

Well, it sounds like your body is doing a good job of keeping you on this diet. I know. It's like delicious chocolate cake at work. I'd be like, no, I can't. But in the long run, you're like, you know, I'm better off not having all those chocolate cakes. You're like, I'll smell it. Yeah. And then that'll be it.

They love when I put my nose in there. Yeah. Hey, I get first sniff, guys. All yours, guys. Let me just smell your mouth. Yeah. Just come here. Open up.

Yeah. Can we talk to you, Brian? Just come here. Open up. Yeah. Can we talk to you, Brian? The Olympics were on last night as they have been for the past two weeks. They're coming to an end this weekend.

Anything of note happening yesterday? I mean, at least my favorite figure skater, Alina Zagitova, she won the gold at 15 years old. The 15-year-old girl. And I feel really bad for Evgenia Medvedeva because she was like the odds-on favorite until this 15-year-old showed up. And she's only 17, I think. Right. And she's already like the old veteran. Yeah. And it's a wacky story.

But I feel like that happens all the time because that 17-year-old has all the pressure on her. Right. And that 15-year-old doesn't. And I feel like that happened with tara lapinski and was it michelle michelle kwan that had all the pressure on her and the other one who doesn't have the press it just makes it so much yeah no i just feel like it's crazy is she performed really well it was because they both actually were like at the top of their game it's just that this 15 year old is prolific like that she was the europe European champion going into this at 15. Well, I feel like if you watch a baseball game now and you watch a baseball game from the 1950s,

it's pretty much the same thing. I mean, yeah, they're throwing a little harder or whatever, but it's the same game. If you watch the figure skating from the 50s where they're actually doing, look, I did a figure eight. Right, right, right. Are you kidding me right right you know and now these triple flips and whatever and the same thing with women's gymnastics they show from the 50s a woman on the bounce beam i'm doing a split right what yeah you know and then simone biles like like head over heels back flipping on a little pole right absolutely and landing on the beam It's like this four inch thing. It's, if someone from now went back to the fifties,

like in a time travel thing and performed, people's heads would explode. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Where if a great pitcher came back now, people would be like, oh wow, that guy,

you know, it's not, it's not the same thing. Right, right, right. Yeah. I mean,

even watching NBA games from Jordan's era. Oh, how slow the game. Yeah. They're so much slower like there's so there are just athletes out there who you can tell aren't at the same level as today's nba players like you know jordan's obviously great he still would be great but there are guys out there who he's playing against who it's like yo man like would horace grant still be banging in the league

right yeah exactly with his horace grant levellevel talent now. Right. Who else? Yeah, that Scottie Pippen commercial from when we were kids where he goes back into the 50s and just dunks on all these 6'2 white guys. Oh, really? Yeah. Was it a Nike commercial? Yeah, it was a Nike commercial. Oh, that's awesome. I've always thought that was extremely true, that if you just sent an above average NBA player

back and said... Yeah, when they're like, hurry boys, three man weave. When I was a kid, a soccer style kicker in the NFL was like a new thing. Oh, really? The guys would kick straight on with their toe and a

40 yard field goal is a big deal. And now it's a 60 yard field. It's just deal yeah now and now it's 60 yard field you know it's just but there's no one that kicks straight on right yeah exactly because now if it's like all the failed high school soccer players just on the like our kickers like one of our best soccer players at my high school nick fulk he became a kicker in the nfl yeah sure and it's crazy my fantasy team oh really because it's funny like in high, he was an insanely good soccer player. And he was on the – I think he was in the Olympic Development Program, ODP. And everyone was like, yo, he's going to be a great soccer player.

And then I remember years passed and I had lost track. And then suddenly it was like, oh, he's kicking for the Jets. And I was like, wow, he's doing pretty good. But, yeah, it shows you there's a lane for you. Yeah, that's awesome. Not a lot of people take kicking that seriously. So you can find a lane for you. Yeah, that's awesome. Because not a lot of people take kicking that seriously. So you can find a lane for yourself. It is funny.

When I was a kid, there was a goalie in the NHL who was 44 years old. He played without a mask. And it's so insane to think about. But also, he was afraid to fly. So he would take, you know, if they were playing Montreal from Boston, he would take the train or whatever. It's like like you're in the nhl with no man yeah right that's okay oh i'm not gonna get on a commercial flight it's like not crazy i'll take a puck directly into my skull i know unbelievable i mean yeah when the nhl they didn't have to let when like helmets were optional was a

very interesting time because i think they only started doing like in the 90s right yeah like the very early because i remember even like the first hockey cards i had as a kid there were guys with no helmet on i was like this is crazy it is yeah it's so insane but i think the lesson is evgenia medvedeva should have skated to the sounds of 9-11 or or something like she did earlier yeah this is a skater who you know has skated to the sounds of 9-11 or something. Like she did earlier. Yeah. This is a skater who has skated to the sounds of the human soul leaving the body. That was her program was based on. Her program was an expression of that. And she had also skated to the sounds of 9-11. And this time she just did Anna Karenina.

It's like, come on. It's not dark enough. I know. You didn't have the demon inside of you propelling you to greater heights. But it's funny because like on the little programs that they do in between, like the puff pieces about the athletes, she seems like she likes anime and stuff. And then meanwhile, she's like, this piece is about clinical death. Right.

But I love Sailor Moon. Yeah. That's how 17-year-olds are in Russia. Sure. Sure. That's how's how 17 year olds are in Russia that's how 11 year olds are in Russia I like that the woman who throws herself under the train is the upbeat one right, exactly alright, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and another this has been a uh the break filled uh episode because we keep learning interesting information during the break but uh super producer nick stump said that he he actually watched the program and there was the sound of a train so uh she did live up to her you know lord of darkness morbid sense of yeah uh. Yeah. Those Russians, it's – Yeah, man. They're pretty gloomy.

It's a real gloomy Gus. Yeah. Why can't you skate to ACDC or something? Exactly. All right. It is time for Boyd Watch. Boyd Watch. This is where we take a look at what people are passing by in the supermarket aisles of America.

We've talked before about how most of them are published by the president's good friend. And so a lot of the stories are basically coming straight from Trump's brain. The version of that that we have seen this week is just a lot of stories about how Omarosa is a stupid liar, lying liar. I don't believe anything. Yeah, I don't believe whatever she says is a lie. So I think they suggest that she's being paid off by Hillary Clinton and probably Benghazi. Yeah. So I don't know.

Stay tuned to Celebrity Big Brother to see if she reveals anything interesting. What do you got in your tabloids? National Enquirer kind of mashed up two of their bigger stories from the past three months. Meghan Markle and Matt Lauer apparently are hooking up or hooked up back when he was with the Today Show. Meghan was on as a fashion correspondent, and he once touched her elbow, which their body language expert confirms is the equivalent of touching her boob. They literally say that. I mean, he might as well touch her boob. Wait, really?

Yeah. Yep. So, I mean, that's a story that, you know – they're going to find a way to write that story one way or another. So – I'm sorry. He got some elbow? Yeah. He touched her elbow.

Yeah. When they were on air together and their NBC experts confirmed that they went into each other's changing rooms at various points, dressing rooms. To say like, hi, we're going to be shooting in 10 minutes. Right. Yeah, exactly. Hey, Matt, you get some bow? Yo, man. I was all over that bow. So, yeah, I mean, I think we all know what that means.

But that's so bottom of the barrel thinking, even for the National Enquirer, to just be like, Ugh, fuck it. Meghan Markle and Matt Lauer fucked once. There we go. Put it on the cover. And how old is she? She is 36. Oh, okay.

And he is 60. So, you know. And were they trying to say, like, she was cheating on Harry? Was that when she was engaged or dating Harry? I don't think she was cheating on Harry? Was that when she was engaged or dating Harry? I don't think she was dating Harry. Then they missed another level of intrigue by then bringing the royals in. They are suggesting that the royal family is in chaos because of this story that they're printing.

And that they're, like, trying to shut it down, basically. They're like, and they would not comment. And they refused to comment. So – and as we all know, that means that they did it. You can confirm whatever you were asking them about. Okay. Okay. Which elbow does it make? I believe it was her left.

Whoa, whoa. Come on. This is a family program. They also have – Don't be talking about that. I don't mean to spread rumors, but I heard that she had fake elbows. Oh, right. She had an elbow job? Yeah. Don't elbow shame. programmed. I don't mean to spread rumors, but I heard that she had fake elbows. She had an elbow job? Don't elbow shame. I mean, you look at those things. You see those elbows? Oh my god. Yeah, so...

They have pictures of them on camera next to each other. With the elbow touching? No elbow touching. That's the amazing thing. They couldn't even find the elbow touching that they claimed happened uh well that happens behind closed doors right yeah that's sort of shooting porn on the show right um they also have a story on the cover of the national inquire that bruce willis uh supposedly had a heart attack on the set of motherless brooklyn uh but what they actually have is just a picture of him falling down. Cool.

Yeah. They do reference a weird interview. Again, Matt Lauer, it always comes back to Matt Lauer. He did a weird interview on the Today Show where it did look like he was out of it. And so, yeah. Was he just like high on pills or something? Yeah, probably. Yeah. It's not clear if you've ever seen Bruce Willis interviewed

he is very strange and seems just mad at the person who's interviewing him the whole time he has the exact same vibe as he does in his movies which is like hey pal go fuck yourself that's his whole vibe

I got to meet him they called me like hey pal go fuck yourself you know like that's his whole vibe hey i loved the movie bruce i got to meet him where um they they they called me asked me to do the letterman show a few years ago i was working at conan and they called and said can you do the show today and i was i didn't even know i was in the running and i was like uh yeah okay and they called me they said okay you're on dave is sick uh bruce willis is hosting then – so they had – they need an extra guest. So that's how I came out. But it was so surreal to be introduced by Bruce. You know what I mean?

Right, right, right. It's like that dream you have where your dad is your high school principal or something. Right. Still not here. And was he – what was his interview style like? Well, there's no – it's a comic. You just come out and do your set. Yeah.

Oh, okay. And then he just comes over and – Did Bruce call you over? The famous sign that you've been that you've made it in comedy? He did come over to my – I think he touched my elbow. Oh, wow. I didn't mean to start rumors. Well, you heard it here first, y'all.

Bruce Willis is sick. He's a real sick one. And then the National Examiner, which is the National Enquirer for the elderly. The hyper elderly. Yeah. They have references to like the Napoleonic Wars. Right. That I'm like.

So their version of the royal story is that Harry attacks Camilla because Camilla is like who they're familiar with. And then. And they're like, who's Harry? How to eliminate your risk of stroke is on there. Useful information. And then Magnum PI, Secrets and Scandals. Oh, my God. That's so specific. Yeah, but that's the hot new show on TV for them is Magnum PI.

Yeah. I bet so many of our even listeners probably don't even know Magnum PI. I mean, Magnum PI was like ending when I was aI. Yeah. I bet so many of our even listeners probably don't even know Magnum P.I. Yeah. I mean, Magnum P.I. was like ending when I was a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I want to tell you about Star Magazine because first they have Mary Kate Olsen is pregnant. Whoa.

Because of this photo that they say there's a bump bombshell. Now, I don't know if her baggy shirt is just doubling over. Or windy. Yeah. You know, we don't know. But letgy shirt is just doubling over or windy. We don't know. But let's say she's pregnant. I mean, apparently her and – who is it? Nicholas Sarkozy's brother that she's with. That's true, right?

Yeah, yeah. She is with. Is that right? Yeah, that's Sarkozy's brother. Yeah, he's like 46 or something, and she's 31 or maybe older. Anyway, I also went to elementary school with the Olsen twins, PS. Oh, really? Yeah, Laurel Hall.

Shout out to Laurel Hall School. Does she know Nick Folk? No. She went to Campbell Hall for high school. I've been shipping them for a long time, though. Folk and the Olsen twins. Folk and one of them. Maybe Mary-Kate, maybe Ashley.

But they're saying that she'd been trying to have a kid, but really they're trying to say why Ashley isn't happy because she's going to be marginalized. Bitter jealousy over domestic bliss. She's terrified she won't matter anymore so you know i really feel her sister yeah because that's that's the victim here yeah he's ashley you know that's what happens you know when you got to create that controversy wow twins have to get pregnant at the same time that's just twin law and she's violating a sacred twin law. I guess so. The other thing, too, was in touch, man. We know these magazines are garbage. They're just nonsense.

But fucking in touch. Like, I don't know. They had a picture of Laura Flynn Boyle on the cover where she's like drinking in her car. And it's very clear that she's struggling with alcoholism, like severely. And they're like, look at her hit the bottom. Like look at this before picture and after. And it's just like – I don't know. Like it's one thing to speculate about people's love lives and like other really superficial shit like that. But like sort of just slamming somebody for like really being in a terrible place in their life is fucking just shameful.

I don't know why. That specifically just really bothered me because it was like on the cover. I don't know if it's over there, but it's just like – it's just a very shitty thing to do for like a publication because this is someone who's struggling. But yeah, they still want to be like, oh, whoa. I haven't heard her name. I know. And that's what's crazy.

Yeah. Like the only reason – I mean the last I remember her was she was dating like Jack Nicholson. Yeah. Yeah. That what's crazy. Yeah. Like, the only reason, I mean, the last I remember her was she was dating, like, Jack Nicholson. Yeah, yeah. That was years ago. Yep. And then now it's just sort of like, look at her. Look how gross she looks now. Fallen TV star hits rock bottom.

It's not a way to sell magazines. Yeah. I mean, it is, but. Yeah, exactly. It's not the best way to. No, it's shameful. But the other thing, I guess the biggest thing is that the Bloidfecta has happened, which we've been waiting for, which is where – We need a sound effect for that.

Bloidfecta. There it is. Boom. Cut and print. That's when someone has made it on the cover of every major sort of magazine tabloid, and that is the Jennifer Aniston Brad Pitt saga reemerging. Oh, is she back with Brad? Well, they are. You would think so, based on the covers.

Yes. And the extent of their interaction seems to be that they might be texting one another. Right. I think that's it, because there's all these pictures of them together, but it turns out those are all either Photoshopped or 10 years old. Right. And the most they have of them interacting is that they – Well, they're not on Snapchat because Kylie –

Right. Yeah. Kylie was – It's over. It's over, Jen and Brad. We can't be caught on there. Yeah. So, I mean, I don't know.

It's amazing how aggressively the magazines just want Brad and Jen to get back together. Right, right. It's like frightening. Right, which means that we want it too as a culture. Like they're doing this for a reason. They must be selling so many magazines every time they put that on the cover that they just feel the need to manifest it. So that is apparently like one of America's great desires

is seeing Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston together again. I want Brad and Laura Flynn Boyle to help. Yeah, right? You've always said that. You've always been. You've always had a spot in your heart for them. Yeah. You could probably help her out.

Brad just went sober. He's living his sober lifestyle. Is that right? Yeah. Doing sober yoga. Wow. That's what they're saying, why why Jennifer Aniston is so like into him now. He seems so zen and on the level.

But yeah, again, they're just using very weird things like, oh, she's separated from Justin Theroux, which means she has to be having sex with Brad Pitt. Yeah. Yeah. That's the only, that's the only logical outcome. They will take any, any in they can get any little toe hold. They will take any in they can get, any little toehold. They will use that. She could go to Office Depot and like, she bought Brass Brads.

What is she trying to say? I'm going to take your word for it that that is a thing, Brass Brads. Isn't that what you put in a script? Isn't that called Brads? Yeah, those are called Brads. Thank you. Wow, Jack. No, I'm glad you're leaving next week. I can do my show, Brad's. Yeah, those are called Brad's. Thank you. Wow, Jack. No, I'm glad you're leaving next week.

I can do my show, Brad Talk. And then just checking in with Google Trends, I noticed that one of the top searches from the past five weeks, so all of them make sense, was like Florida School Shooting, different celebrities who have been making news lately. Number four and five are referencing that Sylvester Stallone is dead and he's not. So I don't know. If people saw that, just be aware that that is a fake story. Frank Stallone starts that rumor every couple of months. I mean, the photos they used were awful. Like, he does not look good.

Are there just terrible photos from the past? I think they might be him in a role because they have pictures of him looking, you know, he has no eyebrows and, like, his face. Yeah, it looks like he's in old age makeup. Oh, really? Yeah. He needs old age makeup? Yeah, man. He's on that human growth hormone. That has to be bad for you right no taking all that human growth hormone no steroids are good

for you man they just make you strong right isn't that they make you strong forever man never never nothing ever goes bad did his head get big too oh yeah yeah yeah his head way bigger yeah yeah yeah yeah come on yeah that would. Is Stallone's head way bigger? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. Yeah. That would be frightening. That would be a reason not to do – like I'm already conscious of my head that if I felt it getting like bigger, that would be frightening. Celebrities often have giant heads though. Right. That's true. Yeah, that is one thing you learn in Los Angeles is that celebrities – like the number one thing that you have to be is just giant headed.

Your head needs to be big because apparently they photograph better or something. I guess so. My friend Jane always tells me that. And I'm like, I have no, every time I keep noticing giant headed. Yeah. Yeah.

My uncle should be a celebrity then because he's got quite a bit. Bruce Willis, you know what size fitted hat he wears? What's that? Eight and a half. Really? No. Oh,

I don't know. Is that big? Yeah. I mean, people average around like seven and three, eight, seven and a quarter. You don't buy that many fitted hats? Nope. All right. Well, it's't know. Is that big? Yeah, I mean, people average around like 7 and 3A, 7 and a quarter. You don't buy that many fitted hats? Nope.

All right. Well, it's for the baseball fans out there. Brian, it's been a pleasure having you. Thank you so much for having me, guys. Thank you so much for doing this. Where can people find you, follow you? Oh, they can follow me on Twitter. I go by Kylie Noodles. Kylie Noodles.

Conan makes fun of me, so that's where it started from. It was a skinny leg riff from Conan that became a thing. So they can follow me on Twitter, I guess. Great. So you're not at Kylie Jenner? I've been ordered by the court not to be at Kylie Jenner. Well, we've got to fight the good fight. Miles, where can people find you?

I first heard it in the movie City of God, which is a great film. Such a good movie. This is, if you remember, it's in a scene when Knockout Ned starts robbing banks and shit. And also in a very great Ronaldinho commercial for Nike.

Anyway, I'm done plugging that. But yes, check out this song by Wilson Simonal. All right. And Miles and co and co will be back monday talk to you guys then he will not me bye Música Eu nesse embalo vou botar pra cantar Sacudir, sacudar, sacudir, bundir, bundar Nem vem numa casa de caboclo Já disseram um é pouco Dois é bom, três é demais Nem vem
