You better keep that hand away from your face.
Oh, boy.
Oh, no.
Don't do it.

We're spilling all the behind-the-scenes stories,
crazy details, and honestly, just having a blast
talking football.
Every week, we're discussing our favorite players
of all times, from legends to our buddies to current stars.
We're finally answering the age old question.
What kind of dudes are these dudes?
We're going to find out Jules.
New episodes drop every Thursday during the NFL season.
Listen to dudes on dudes on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
Hello the internet and welcome to season 362 episode three of
Dirt Headlies, I got a production of High Heart Radio. We are still
America's only undecided podcast. It's so close and yet we still need
more information. I was personally waiting on the Washington Post to tell me who they're both for.
I was waiting on Jeff Bezos.
Any word on whether he's going to-
He's on the sidelines, man.
He's on the sidelines.
He's on the sidelines.
All right.
Well, in addition to just trying to make up our mind about this dang election, this is
a podcast where we take a deep dive into American shared consciousness. And it is Wednesday,
October 30th, 2024. All Hallows Eve. What does that mean? Oh, well, guess what? It's
National Publicist Day. Wee! Thank you. And thank you. And every day is a National Publicist
Day for me.
As far as I'm concerned, they're the cream of the crop, the best people that we've got.
Yes, yes.
It's also National Candy Corn Day and a National Wicked Day.
Wicked, mate.
Are you sure it's not Wicked, like Wicked Pissa?
Nah, it's for Wicked the Musical, bro.
Oh, Wicked the Musical.
Which I'm told is gonna be a big bro. Oh, Wicked the Musical. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which I'm told is gonna be a big hit.
Can't wait to get-
I know a lot of people are very excited for that.
Can't wait to get the B.O. prediction
from our guest who is a bit of a cinema head.
Yeah.
There's a word for that.
Celluloid freak.
Yeah, celluloid freak is the one.
That's the one.
All right, my name is Jack O'Brien, Yeah, celluloid freak is the one.
Alright my name is Jack O'Brien aka eat mouse, it's the future of our meat, eat mouse, tender,
juicy and so sweet, eat mouse, it's sustainable and free, eat mouse, you can pluck them off
the street.
That one courtesy of Blinky Heck on the Discord shouts out to Blinky Heck in reference to
the conversation we had about James Carville and how we suspect he probably consumes, would
you say three to four mice at every meal?
Who, James Carville?
Who, James Carville?
Yo, he'd like to eat at least five mice, five mouse meats. Five for a meal. Who? James Cobb? Who? James Cobb? Yo, he'd like to eat at least five mice, five mouse meats.
Five mice.
For a meal.
Yeah, that's called protein, baby.
And I think we settled on he extrudes the waste as pellets, like an owl, right?
Oh, I don't know if I got, maybe I missed that part.
We definitely know he has a throat beak that he comes through.
He has a throat beak like a squid, usually just sits in a bog, like up to
his eyes in bog water and just watches for little critters to come back.
Exactly.
Yeah.
They delicious.
Yeah.
Does he have a gizzard too?
Don't gizzards help digest skeleton?
Oh, he got gizzard lizard.
He got three gizzards.
Yeah.
His favorite band is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
The Gizzard of Oz, which is the sequel to Wicked.
Or Gicked.
Thank you. I would like to hire you for my team, my publicist team.
A wordplay like that, you don't come around too often now.
That's called world class.
World class. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray!
Oh, it's Miles Gray, aka.
And I said, what about anger management?
He said, I think I remember the film.
And as I recall, I walked out halfway through it.
And I said, well, you're a real son of a bitch
You're real tough guy, huh? You walking out of anger, man
All right, shout out bottles and fans. Just clap your hands on the discord for that wonderful
Breakfast at Tiffany's deep blue something. No one that was definitely a deep blue something
Mm-hmm. My lights just turned off in the middle of that.
I'm going to go turn them on.
It's called the Holy Spirit.
Nope.
They didn't turn off.
The lights just all burnt out at the same time.
Anyways,
your light bulb bill.
What witchcraft is that?
It's man all.
It's man all.
Witchcraft.
Yeah.
Yes.
Man, I'll take my scars.
Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very talented writer, stand-up
comedian, co-host of the Bechdel cast, one of the great film podcasts.
They also happen to have a master's degree in film, the most anagrammable name in the
English language.
Absolutely.
So if you've been given their name in a jumble of out-of-order scrabble tiles, you may know
them as Lauren D. Titanic or Nine- nine tit Dracula, but to us, they will
always be Latin dancer UTI.
That does it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, yes.
I, well, it's, it's nine tit Dracula season.
That is true.
That's true.
Spooky season. So I, I would request that you refer to me's nine tit Dracula season. That is true. That's true. Spooky season.
So I, I would request that you refer to me as nine tit.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Ninety.
Yeah.
Ninety.
Hey, so what, so what's new nine tit?
Anything cool going on with you?
I think, yeah, now that we're a video podcast, like we got to have that
like toxic energy, you know, like the, the, yeah. What's up nine tit.
How's it going?
What's up, dude?
Just drinking my daddy's seltzer.
Let's go.
Let's go daddy seltzer.
Let's go.
I'm just going to say let's go a thousand times.
I went as a, uh, two tit Dracula as a, as a gosh dang Dracula to a Halloween party over
the weekend. It is true. I went just a little bit over made up and my costume was a little bit not,
it wasn't on tone for the party.
The party was more of a glam party with Halloween accents.
I was just a whole ass dang Dracula.
No.
What's that?
Okay, I forget who it is, but they tweeted a picture of themselves dressed as the Babadook.
Yes, I referred to it as I almost went a full Babadook at the wine party over the weekend.
It wasn't all the way there.
Katie Dippel is still the king or queen of that.
That's the best tweet, I think. it's the one reason that's a go to
the Twitter Halloween tweet.
Yeah.
Go to shout out to Gabris who retweets it every year.
It was like my annual retweet of Katie Dippel's the greatest tweet of all time.
Uh, Caitlin, how are you doing?
Oh, you know, I'm alive.
Oh, great.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We weren't sure.
We wanted to confirm that, but I'm glad to know this.
I know it's spooky season.
Yeah.
I'm alive.
I'm not yet undead as nine tit Dracula.
Right.
So.
Well, good.
Still alive.
Yeah.
Doing all right.
All right.
Well, Caitlin, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
All right. Well, Caitlin, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, a couple of the things that we're talking about on
this hour inaugural video episode which is dropping on Friday.
We swear to God, it is dropping.
I swear to God, you guys.
For all the doubters,
you were right for the first couple of weeks,
but now you're wrong.
But now?
You're wrong.
Despite the fact that I was not recording up until this point,
and it looked very grainy up until this moment.
There's a reason it took a second.
Now look at me.
Y'all said I couldn't do it, but now look at me.
Look at me, Doc.
You can see me in high fidelity.
Anyways, we're going to talk about whether porn could cost Trump the election.
Probably not, but we will look at a fun new political ad where
a Republican just appears while a guy is jacking off in his room,
and tells him to stop jacking off,
and then he doesn't?
I can't tell. He doesn't seem to.
We're going to talk about how the racists,
fascists are no longer holding back.
It's just like they've been having this conversation
together in private rooms,
aka on their podcasts forever.
Then now they're like being going on CNN and just saying
the wildest most racist shit and it's not going over so well.
So we'll talk about that.
We'll talk about why the World Series,
just taking out of it anything that's happening on
the baseball field during the play,
which the Dodgers are winning pretty handily,
has just been a weird look for the city of New York.
We're going to look at two opening acts. We're going to look at two opening acts.
We're going to look at Ice Cube opening for the Dodgers,
and Fat Joe coming out,
opening up for the Yankees.
Who won that? All of that, plenty more.
But first, Caitlin,
we do like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are?
I looked up flights to London to see if I could go like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
I looked up flights to London to see if I could go and if it would make sense to go and be affordable to go, which it's not for me to go see Paddington
three in the UK because it opens like two months before it does in the
U S which is soon it opens in the UK on November 8th.
Wait, there's no deals right now?
I feel like there's always like in November, they're like, are you
seriously going to travel in November?
Like unless it's not in the US during Thanksgiving, like I feel like there's
always deals November, early December, but they don't exist?
I, it seems like there's something that is like vaguely doable. Right. But it's not,
it's not like doesn't make your mouth water with the deal with something quite the deal. I get
that. I get that. But, but if anyone wants to Venmo me so that I can go on this very important
journey to not only see Paddington three when it opens in the UK on November 8th, but also go on a Paddington T,
afternoon T bus tour and go to the Paddington Experience, which you just like walk through
a few rooms and it's Paddington.
Those are never disappointing.
The blank experience never disappoints.
Those are always good.
I went on the Shrek one recently in London.
Thank you so much.
And it changed my life.
Did it?
It was really good?
Well, let's not...
Well, I got a terrible staph infection.
I got a terrible staph infection.
It changed my life for the worse.
I didn't say it.
I was hospitalized with norovirus from going there.
Plus you can see Paddington 3 in its original British cut, you know?
Exactly.
Where they haven't changed the accents.
Yeah, it really heavily Americanized it.
They Americanized it over here.
That's not marmalade he's eating when he's over in England.
No, no.
You could tell us what it is.
It's just peanut butter, man.
That's right.
It's jetpuff.
What is something, Caitlyn, you think is underrated?
Okay. This is less an underrated thing and more something that just doesn't really
exist yet that I think should exist.
Okay.
Is adult trick or treating.
You're saying no, meaning don't have someone give you a weird look when you're
an adult being like trick or treat, man.
Yeah.
I get that.
Yes.
I would, or if we need to reinvent.
Maybe you shouldn't do that with your voice, Miles, when you go trick or treating.
Trick or treat.
Man, I'm a little kid.
I'm just a little guy.
You got any beer?
Trick or treat, brother.
Got any beer?
Here's the thing.
I know it's creepy for an adult
to show up at other adults' house and demand candy.
So if we need to re-envision trick or treating as adults,
I am happy to do that.
But I think, like, I want a whole bucket full
of like an assortment of different candies.
Cause sure, I can go out and buy some candy, but it's going to be like, just
like one type of candy, even with like the variety bags, it's still like my brand.
Yeah.
Still a bunch of Mr. Beast shit.
Yeah.
So what I'm going to do, I think is throw a party.
Everyone's invited.
All the listeners.
Come on down.
Yeah.
Okay.
Worldwide invite.
Zeitgeist stock. Right?
That was supposed to be like Woodstock, but it didn't really scan.
But we'll workshop that off, Mike.
You get it.
Yeah, yeah.
Zeitgeist Fest.
Zeitfest.
Zyta-palooza.
Zyta-palooza.
There it is, goddammit.
Why am I so bad at this?
Sorry.
And why are you so good?
Why?
Because I'm an only child.
Sorry, not sorry.
And I grew up talking to myself.
Fantasizing about going to Lollapalooza.
Which takes place in my one bedroom apartment.
Wait, so everyone's invited. What's going on?
So we're all invited.
You gotta bring a type of candy and then, but enough for everyone.
And then we all trick or treat amongst each other.
I was saying it would be cool if there were like neighborhoods.
They're like, yo, this is 21 and over.
Yeah. Like, so the shit you're about to get door to door is like for adults.
So you can have a lot of fun with it.
You know what I mean?
Like a block party.
Yeah.
That's kind of happens.
Like our neighborhood, they're the fun houses that will like give out like shots
to the adult.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then the adults will be like a little bit drunk, a little bit too drunk in some
cases, walking around with their kids, giving me hugs when I've only met them like once
before.
When you met them just now.
Yeah.
Come here, dude.
I'm a hugger.
I'm a hugger.
I'm not actually Batman.
Sure you are.
Yeah.
It's real blood on my face though.
Okay. Thanks. Yeah, adult trigger treating like should be more. I recently also made a pitch for adult fun zones or what's the sky zones.
You know, there are some kid things that we just need to take.
We're bigger than them.
We can physically for rest it from their control, the sky zone.
And then we can just take it from the sky zone than them. We can physically rest it from their control.
The sky zone and trick or treating look too fun to just leave it to kids.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Strong arm robbery.
Sounds right.
That's right.
And, but I do like that you would leave it candy because that's fun.
Cause the, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you can make it, you know, super producer Victor mentioned edibles.
Of course he did.
Like, you know, gummies or-
Well, all candy should be edible, I think, right?
Is that, yeah.
We're very naive on this podcast.
Hold on, what do you mean?
Wait, are you one of these druggies, producer Victor?
Oh no.
Okay, well, we're gonna have a talk.
Yeah.
That's just not a path I wanna see you go down.
Yeah, hey, where'd he get that? Hey,. That's just not a path I wanna see you go down.
Yeah, hey, where do you get that?
Hey, where do you get that?
Where do you get that?
Oh.
Let me know.
But as a square, I want just regular ass candy.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a super square.
I would love regular ass candy,
so I don't have to like, you know, just,
I don't steal it from my kids,
but like I do take their Halloween candy and like it somewhere where they're going to forget about it,
so that a month later,
I just then have an evening where I'm like, God.
That's Jack. I told you he's squirting.
He's squirting.
He like to bury it like an acorn.
That candy is just sitting there, looking at me, being your wife.
Yeah. Anyways, what,
Caitlin, is something you think is overrated? Well, I know that it's whatever, National Candy Corn Day, but Candy Corn is so the most
overrated thing that could ever happen.
Oh my God.
This happens every year.
Look, we lose about 10% of our audience whenever we do this every October.
We're down to about 15 people and I'm sorry, but...
Yeah.
I have to speak my truth. It's so disgusting.
Is it for you disgusting? Is it underwhelming?
Is it a mix of everything?
No, well, it's not, to me, it's not edible.
Speaking of candy, that is not edible.
I'm eating sugary wax that looks like shit and it tastes like shit.
I hate it.
I mean, your shit is better, is cooler looking than mine, clearly.
But I, my, the thing I am a, I'm an icing bitch.
I will eat the icing off your cake.
You know, I, even if you didn't ask, even if you didn't ask, I will just like you,
you shouldn't have left it unguarded like that.
And I think of candy corn as basically hardened icing
as opposed to the wax, which does kind of fuck it up
if you think about it too much.
Either way, it's like, hey man,
what if you think of recontextualize it as old ass icing?
Yeah, and that's how I get into it.
Mmm, that's yummy.
Yeah, I like sugar how I get into it. Mm, mm, mm, yummy.
Yeah, I like sugar, what could I say? But it's buttery, it is buttery.
It's buttery sugar.
Maybe I just need to have a bespoke candy corn.
This shit that's extruded from machines by the millions.
No, if someone's like- A nice hand-crafted candy corn.
Like a hand-rolled one, I'd be open to that
and I'd probably end up offending them by being like,
oh, this is also shit.
It's still bad.
You fucking dumb.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's let's take a quick break.
We'll come back and we'll talk about porn in the upcoming election.
We'll be right back.
Yes.
Yeah. back. Yes.
And we're back.
We're back. And there's a lot of bad things in project 2025.
You know, we talked yesterday about the Esther project that will make it so
that just speaking on behalf of Palestinians or protesting against
Israel will count as, will like put you on a terrorist watch list essentially.
But another thing that's been in there like that.
So that's her project, I think was added in October, something that's been there
from day one and it's not buried like on page 900, it is on page five of the
introduction to mandate for leadership is a ban on pornography.
And, you know, this seems to be less about banning porn and more about banning, you
know, pornography in quotes, which they broadly define as anything concerning
sexuality and gender.
So it's just another way to attack LGBTQ plus rights.
Like wedding photos count.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it would, you know, just to be like, that's a man and a woman and they're
just, oh, this is gender.
I don't know.
But I guess really it's just about scaring people away from embracing
any kind of sexuality at all.
Yeah.
They literally claim that porn is invading school libraries.
Yeah.
So it's, it's not any definition of pornography I'm familiar with.
Was there like a thing, and I hate to be so depraved so early in the morning, but
like there was like that book in your school library where there was a naked
person picture, even though it was probably a medical diagram, like dude,
get over here, get over here.
You mean Grey's Anatomy?
Maybe.
I just remember there was like, I remember.
Do you mean anatomy?
Yeah, it was just very basic.
We were like, dude, the guy's dick is in this book.
Oh my God.
It wasn't porn, but it was a medical journal.
But anyway.
Wait, was the book called Grey's Anatomy or is that just the name of the show?
I thought there is a book called Grey's Anatomy.
And is the premise that her mom wrote that book?
Is that the premise of the TV show Grey's Anatomy or just coincidence
that she has the same last name?
I think that's just a pun, right?
Okay.
Got it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it begs the question, where is the spin-off slash remake called?
50 shades of gray's anatomy.
Wow.
Yeah.
Gray's anatomy, you and Dupree.
We could just keep doing this.
All right.
So this week, a democratic pack released an ad in which a dude is about to jack off.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't spoil it.
Don't spoil it.
I didn't see it.
Yeah, we can watch the ad.
Let's check it out.
I just want to know what it's like.
Okay.
Just here it is.
Let's embrace this ad that should just scare everyone, I guess. Yeah. Okay. So here it is. Let's embrace this ad that should scare everyone, I guess.
Yeah.
Okay, so here we go.
Oh my God.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sorry, you can't do that.
Oh, the guy just interrupted him.
What the hell, man, how'd you get in here?
I'm your Republican congressman.
Okay.
Now that we're in charge, we're banning porn nationwide.
You can't tell me what to do.
Get out of my bedroom, you creep.
You're still jacking off. I won the last election.
So it's my decision.
I'm just going to watch and make sure you don't finish illegally.
Oh, and then you just kind of watch.
That's a long hold.
Okay.
Oh, and then it looped.
Okay.
The video looped.
So I thought he was just back to being like, whatever, dude, he does
watch it and stop it.
Dude, if you're here, you're the weird That's an eyeline match of what the politician is seeing.
Yeah.
So for listeners who didn't get to see the video, it's a guy in his bedroom.
He has the facial expression of like, he thinks like jacking off is really funny or like he's
in the 80s and just been given
his like smartphone from the future.
He's like, so amazed by it.
Uh, and, and then a politician shows up and is like, give me that and like
takes his phone and then he like keeps working away under the thing as he's
talking to the politician, which I thought was an interesting choice by them.
It's he's there's still movement under the blankets.
Still doing something.
We're not quite sure what's.
He might be just switching up techniques.
Right.
Just like, oh, I need to go for something more subtle.
Go to my other hand.
So I can evade the government.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know if this will be effective, but fuck it.
Let's give it a shot, you know?
Yeah. Like. Scare know, like scare them.
Scare them.
Yeah.
I mean, to maybe get some boys who are like over vote, like over
representative among Trump voters.
Like a little bit feeling what it's like to have somebody
fuck with your bodily autonomy.
Right.
It's, you know, it's not the, so fuck with your bodily autonomy. Right. So the right-wing pundits are like,
this is vulgar and X-rated,
whereas it looks more like an airline edit of an American Pie movie.
But it's still-
It did have that early odds, late 90s,
I'm doing something under this blanket,
real dramatic, like fill in the blank yourself, even though it's pretty clear.
Yeah.
I don't know if this will move the needle.
I, I sure, I hope it does.
But I mean, like, I wonder if like all those bro podcasts that Trump went on, if
he's like, and you know, I'm going to ban porno.
Yeah.
Like if they're like, Oh, sick, dude, sick Trump.
That's so sick, dude.
Like exactly.
I don't even need that stuff, dude.
Cause I'm like, so in just many relationships, identically.
Um, so I need not pornographic material.
Like do that stuff.
Yeah.
So this ad comes after pun, not intended a $100,000 ad campaign organized by
17 pornographic film actors, which began playing ads on porn sites and
swing states earlier this month, informing people who were just there to enjoy pornography
about the proposed ban.
So yeah, I don't know.
I feel like it's probably, let's give everything a shot.
I don't think this is necessarily going to be the thing that wins the election for the
Democrats, but-
You never know, hey, you never, they needed a champion.
It was the hands off my porn campaign.
Right.
It's just so weird that we've gone from like messaging,
like hands off my Bible,
hands off my guns and they're like,
hands off my porn and we're like,
oh, this is, we're here now.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Let, let, let us have our pornography.
Another pack followed a similar strategy urging at that game. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let, let, let us have our pornography.
Another pack followed a similar strategy, urging porn users to enjoy while you can the fact that the ads contained a photo of Donald Trump probably rendered.
So like people are on a porn site and then there's like an ad with Donald Trump's
face on it.
Yeah.
We're just doing a terrible job.
I think just generally of educating people.
If like people don't understand civics enough to know like what, what's at
stake and has to be like, Hey dude, you better jerk off while you can.
I know.
Because since coming up to like, Oh,
so it really is just like such lowest common denominator bullshit.
Like when you ask Trump voters, like what they're worried about, like
all of the things are
Made up. It's just all made. It's like I'm worried about the cat eating people, right?
Exactly. It's just all conspiracy theories and bullshit
This sounds too obvious to say
Like and not to you know to diminish the pornography as an industry and the actors and entertainers who
work in porn, because I know this is something a lot of people are speaking out against as
being like, yeah, vote.
But can't we just get to the core of the issue, which is to stop funding
the genocide and that could be the thing that wins the Democratic ticket?
Yeah, but the thing is, our campaign is kind of a sticky relationship with that.
So we'd rather just be like the porn boogie man.
It's, it was wild, but yeah.
This you?
I just had to say it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, the, the, the whole thing seems everything, but the actual issues that
even their own voting base is like, how about none of this?
Yeah.
And they're like, ah, see that, that we can't, that, that Pandora's box cannot
be closed at this point for us politically.
So we're just going to slam into the right lane and see if we can pick off some people.
And hopefully you guys hang on.
And if they do lose, if the Democrats do lose, it will be our fault for having asked that question.
They will blame, again, they're going to blame Arab and Muslim voters.
They're going to blame black men.
They're not going to blame white people who are the ones who are going to be voting Trump in overwhelming numbers.
And that'll be kind of like, I feel like the post-mortem on the election.
Unless they're left us so much.
Yeah, they will be blamed as well.
Yes.
And they'll be like, oh man, we should have made more of those porn ads with more dudes
jerking off under a blanket. That's different. Dudes who like look different. So people would be like, Oh yeah.
Oh, diversity.
Now that I see that, that is me.
Yeah.
Get people of all, people of all genders.
Oh, jerk off to porn.
Why is it just this white guy?
I think it's an ex-Morris looking guy.
Cause everything's white guys still.
It's okay.
It's all white guys. All white all white guys anyway get it in while
you can i guess all right i do want to just look at this you know in continuation of what we talked
about on yesterday's episode or what we talked about earlier this week where the kill tony guy
did a hilarious joke about puerto rico and carving watermelons with his black friend
about Puerto Rico and carving watermelons with his black friend. Because it just, it feels like the fascists are just letting the masks,
not really slip, but just like taking it off and being like,
oh shit, people are looking.
So there was a panel on CNN yesterday, this guy Ryan Gurdusky told Mehdi Hassan,
I hope your beeper doesn't go off.
After Mehdi Hassan said, I support the rights of Palestinian people.
Like, yeah, very normal, very normal response, uh, in this era because yeah,
you are the, the, the reflex of closed minded people is to be like, Oh, you
advocate for Palestinian rights.
Are you Hamas?
Yeah.
He literally says that he's like, yeah loss you support Hamas you like
So infuriating but again, I think like to your point we're just in that phase right now where people literally don't give a fuck
They're like, I'm I'm a vile racist bigot and I'm just gonna say stuff and like you're gonna have to deal with it
Yeah, so here's the clip of Mehdi Hasan and Gurduski on
Gurduski. Nobody wants to be called Nazis. It's very inflammatory. But if you don't want to be
called Nazis, stop doing. You're called an anti-Semite more than anyone else's table.
No, by me. I never called you an anti-Semite. I mean, I'm not saying you're saying I don't.
I'm a supporter of the Palestinians. I'm used to it.
Yeah. Well, I hope your beeper doesn't go off.
The thing is, is that you just say I should die.
You should not. No, I just said I should be killed.
I'm not saying no.
It's wild that you can tell who the conservatives are on the panel
because they're just like this.
They're just shutting the fuck up.
Like, they're not they're not disgusted.
They're like, I'm not going to co sign that but I will not be
outraged. I'm sorry. Go on.
Let me just stop.
Guys,
are you
no,
are you
you a racist violent person?
Ryan, right. That is completely Tell us about him. Are you Hamas? I apologize. Are you an racist violent person inciting violence against people?
That's disgusting.
That is completely out of the question.
Look at his mouth.
Look at his mouth.
That's his mouth.
He's got a mouth.
Don't say, then I apologize.
You literally accused him.
I thought he said Hamas.
You didn't think I said Hamas.
He did.
I thought he said Hamas.
This is like, it's so chaotic.
I mean, that's really the main part of it.
He definitely looks like one of those guys who makes a
terrible joke and then doubles down. But but is realizing in
real time. It's like, dude, you totally just fucked up right
there. Yeah. And he's like, is it
or he looks like he just came in his pants. I can't tell which
one like he's like his eyes like are like, just kind of
like nodding off a little bit.
He may have been trying to warg out of their game of thrones.
That's probably more likely, but also I don't know what racism does to these people.
But it's just unbelievable that this guy goes on CNN and just like he really, I don't know,
I think this also speaks to how these people speak to each other.
Exactly.
Because he thought, oh yeah, dude, I'll make a beeper comment.
And that always gets a laugh at the very least.
People are like, Oh, okay.
But he didn't realize he's also in a room full of people who actually have like
the capacity for empathy.
And they're like, dude, that is beyond the pale.
Like what they're even saying is like, I'm sorry.
I thought he said he was Hamas.
And it, so then it would be like, I'm even the logic of his apologies, very, very off.
Yeah.
Because yeah, after he got kicked off CNN, he went on social media and complained that like CNN can't
take a joke. So like, what was the joke that people who look like Mehdi Hasan are being
systematically slaughtered with state sponsored terrorism with the consent of the mainstream media and you're like
Making fun of him for that. Yeah, that's the sorry. I made reference to a terrorist attack and mass maiming
Yeah, I'm sorry, so can I get notes then what should I have said there? But still had to be like a babe bit pager centric joke
Just nonsense. Yeah, he really you can stay on see it. I keep again. He's doing this whole thing
He's like he went on his sub stack
So you've been banned from cable news my best advice for future conservatives dealing with a double standard
Wow, yeah, and that really wasn't fair. I mean, I don't know. Really, he's the one.
In all fairness to him, I think the news coverage doesn't quite
extend humanity to Palestinian people.
So maybe he thought he was like, we're amongst.
Wait, what?
What? Y'all don't talk.
Wait, OK, so I'm the bad guy now.
I've watched.
The way you guys covered that story seemed like you didn't have that big a problem with it.
Like, so sorry.
Yeah.
Uh, just a very,
yeah.
CNN was like, okay, we'll, we'll make an example of him while not having to
deal with our own shit about how we just didn't.
And now, and next up and next up, our guests is going to be the youngest
grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan.
We're going to just get in their mind a little bit, see what they think about it.
Just a really young upstart.
Yeah. I don't know.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media spent the last couple of weeks,
I feel like normalizing Trump,
talking about how good his numbers are with different voting blocks,
different minority voting blocks,
emphasizing how cool the McDonald's stunt was. Like, I don't know.
We're on the verge of like outright open fascism.
And they're like, man, pretending to be a fry cook,
just win Trump the election?
And then, yeah, I don't know.
I just like, if he wins, I just, I don't know what that does
to what people are like, like what,
will these people just be more and more willing to come out and say shit like this?
And what does that do?
I mean, we saw that in once Trump took office, but nine tit, nine tit,
what's your take on this?
Uh, well, my take is that fascism is already here.
It will be a worse version of fascism with Trump in office if he gets elected.
But I think the Democratic Party is currently so far right of where I stand politically
and the fact that they are, again, funding and enabling and cheering on genocide.
I would call that straight up fascism already.
So that's my take.
No, I mean, it's just so, I mean, yeah, they're so far, like they're basically
like what Bush was running on in 92.
Like he's kind of like, they're like, yeah.
So Clintonian triangulation takes you all the way over here now.
All the way back.
Yeah.
And we've triangulated to the point where we've completely just ignored the entire,
like a solid 70% of the base to court people who don't give a fuck.
Which again, this will be all of the democratic parties.
This will be of their own making if this election does not go their way, because you look like to your point,
they've completely gone so far, right.
And abandoned all these policies they had even from their 2020 platform.
Yeah.
Even just like Kamala being all cagey on like trans rights and gender,
gender confirming procedures and just being like, well, you know, we'll
do what's consistent with the law.
What?
The law where so many states. banned gender-firm care.
Yeah.
So no in a lot of instances.
And she's like, more of the wall.
Let's keep building, like all these things that I'm like, you're, she's a fascist.
Yeah.
Sorry about it, everybody.
Sorry, I'm telling you.
Yeah, but Beyonce performed.
And that's the cool thing.
That's what like really fucks me up about just sort of like the, the machine
of the democratic party is like just, they can do this whole like smoke and mirrors thing with like, but look at all the celebrities too.
Yeah.
Like, don't you want to be like these people who have wealth, you will never
even get close to and are so insulated by their class
that they will not know the effects of any presidency?
Anyway.
Right.
I haven't really been reading any rooms
for the past, I don't know, decade.
I feel like there's just like.
Don't you relate to these bazillionaire celebrities
who are so out of touch. Bazillion?
And so insulated from everything
that's going on with their privilege.
Don't you want to be cool like Beyonce and vote for Kamala?
It's a whole thing.
It's just, yeah, it's just, it's very, very dark.
And I don't know, the one thing is like, it's that I've noticed is when the
Republicans are in power, the Democrats get outraged about
things.
When Trump's in power, it's like, dude, we got to do something about law enforcement.
We got to do something about our immigration policies.
We got to do something about this, that, and the other.
Maybe if Trump wins, they'll suddenly be like, we got to stop this genocide in Gaza or something,
just because they're like, well, you know,
now they're on the other side of it.
Now we get to be angry about it and do nothing.
But again, what, what good is it if the bombs continue to drop?
Yeah.
I don't know how successful that will be with Trump in office, but hey, it's not working
now.
So, yeah, we've got two good options and that's, you know, huge open fascism that basically
ends America as we know it and ongoing fascism that continues America down a rightward path
as we know it.
So, yeah, covert fascism and slightly less overt, not even covert, still pretty overt fascism.
It's fascism or fascism with emojis.
Yeah, and rainbow flags.
Yeah, exactly.
Yay. Let's take a break and talk about the World Series. We'll be right back.
Wee!
And we're back. We're back.
We're back.
And by the time you hear this, see this, uh, the world series itself, maybe over.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh no, not the West side being the best side again.
Caitlin, huge baseball fan.
Oh, I love it. It's my favorite sport.
I've watched all the games that have ever happened in the history of baseball.
Every single one.
Wow.
You're like that lady who like recorded like broadcast television for 20 years.
You know, like that document is coming out.
I've seen every single game.
I'm over here Tivo-ing.
You can't stop it.
Once they invented Tivo, you couldn't switch to the new one because you're
already, you know, double down broke T-fixing.
I paid for a house full of Tivo's.
Yeah, I love it.
I love first base, love second base, et cetera.
Oh, wow.
I was going to ask.
Yeah, let's all name our favorite bases.
Well, I'm talking about porn, I guess.
Oh, okay.
Good.
I was too, and first base is my favorite in porn.
For me, I love fifth base.
Whoa, kinky.
Is that when you're in the dugout and Fat Joe walks out?
Exactly, and you got a Woody. Is that when you're in the dugout and Fat Joe walks out? Exactly.
And you got a Woody.
All right.
So, I mean, one of the reasons that this world series was eagerly anticipated is
because there is a long and storied rivalry between New York and Los Angeles
in culture, in rap, in baseball.
Like these teams have played more than any other team.
And so I don't know.
I feel like it has not gone well for New York,
like in baseball, but also in like the cultural surrounding
of these games.
We got two opening acts to compare.
Right.
So behind door A, door L, A, game two in Dodger Stadium,
we had Ice Cube coming out and performing Bow Down.
Oh.
Was so good.
For the West Coast.
I like that they gave the announcing job to somebody who wasn't like the normal announcer. So up your dubs.
Before we get there, like you're playing West side connection bow down.
This is, this is, this was the perfect intro.
Okay.
Cause I've been saying, this is big.
This rivalry is bigger than baseball.
It has a total veneer of like the hip hop rivalry and the subtlety of like you're saying of like LA versus New York, who's better? Yeah, that part will never be able to sort of settle,
we can settle who's the better baseball team and we can settle who had the better people from their
city come out to represent the city. And this song from West Side Connection, Bow Down was sort of, you know,
like in the midst of the East Coast, West Coast beef.
And you have someone who is so seminal to gangster rap
and hip hop generally as Ice Cube.
This felt like such a great,
the physical manifestation of like a great LA hip hop moment.
And I'm like, this was perfect.
The sun was out, the palm trees are out,
Ice Cube seems like up to the moment.
He's got the crowd in his hand.
Yeah.
He's like doing like they're both, both Ice Cube and Fat Joe do these like little
weird Al flourishes where like Ice Cube is like messed around freaking Yankees
every way like Kobe and the crowd, like
you hear the crowd go crazy when he does that.
Right.
And then fat Joe is just like doing it all over, just like inserting like
Dodgers into his raps and stuff.
And everyone in the Yankee stadium is just like silent.
It's so I just do want to, I think this is when he did today was a good day. Just, you can see the people in the crowd, like just vibrating.
Look, yeah.
Like even Dave Roberts, the dorky man, this is just such a good, like it's LA.
Like I'm, I was saying like a friend of mine, he went with his dad.
I was like, I don't even, I'm like, is, is it worth worth a ticket? And part of us like for that moment to have like such a good, like West Coast rap moment. Like, that could be worth it. But yeah, fat Joe, I think left a lot to be look and I'm not and I not biased. You were about to say I'm not biased. Wait, I'm biased.
I'm biased as hell.
But I love New York hip hop too.
And I think one of the things when I saw Ice Cube come out, I was saying to other people,
I was like, the gauntlet has been laid down.
Now, who are they going to match in terms of like, stature, history, whatever?
And New York has a comparable rap history.
If you're looking at history,
it's definitely an argument.
It's the birthplace of hip-hop.
I would say New York probably has,
if you're just going full,
if you're just going the entirety of history,
I am more of a East Coast hip-hop fan.
But it's been a
while that LA, you know, Kendrick is the epicenter of rap right now. Like, and it's, it just feels
like it's been a while since New York was really doing it and had a claim to the throne. And they
came with Fat Joe. Yeah.
And look, no shade, bad Joe.
Like, like I said, you've got hits.
Are you sort of there in the pantheon of like the, the, the greatest in hip hop?
That's debatable, but here, here's fat Joe's, uh, performance.
Please welcome the Bronx bomber himself.
Bronx bomber himself, Fat Joe! The Bronx bomber himself?
What's that one?
It starts out, he's standing against a wall in the W.
Like he's hoping they said someone else's name to introduce them.
What's up, New York?
This feels a little too like...
Let's go Yankees! This feels a little too like.
Let's go Yankees.
Judge, who's having a terrible series.
He also goes on to say that he's the ghost of Babe Ruth, the Bronx bomber himself.
So he had the same copy as the guy who introduced him, I think, because he calls himself the
Bronx bomber himself.
I mean, isn't the Bronx bomber himself.
I mean, isn't the Bronx bombers just a reference to the team?
Was there ever one player that was the Bronx bomber?
I think he probably just like added that to his aura, to his, you know,
Nick list of nicknames, but right.
Yeah.
It's just like the ice cube one was just, it felt like a party.
He was having, you could, you could tell he was having fun.
The fat Joe one feels like a recurring stress dream.
Like it's just, he's out there and like the, it doesn't feel like the crowd can hear him.
And so he's like trying to get things going.
And there's just like, it's like, he's running and like, can't get purchase on the ground.
Like it's just, he's running and going nowhere.
It is rough.
Also, when the camera pans over to him and he's just like standing still for a few moments
and then starts walking, it's just, it feels so static and like low energy.
Yeah.
I think it was one of those things too, or he probably thought he's like, man,
the second they see me, like, let me be in my little boy stance kind of thing.
And then they'll be like, he should have said, who me?
That would have actually been a good, yeah.
I mean, fat Joe is who Joe.
Yeah.
I mean, look, my first note on the performance was pointing out it? Who was pointing out that he got the Trump Force Ones?
About the Trumps?
Desus from Desus and Mero.
Oh, Desus Knight.
Yeah.
Pointed out that he said he was wearing his Trump Force Ones.
He was wearing Tim's, which was the appropriate choice.
Yes.
But he did buy the Trump Force Ones when they came out
and then made like the least necessary.
You got to separate the art from the artist argument of all time.
It's like, well, first of all, the shoes fucking suck.
This is not art.
Yeah.
These are not.
This is shart.
Yeah.
Well, get his ass.
Get him.
I'ma cook his ass.
Get it.
Yeah.
Look at you.
Look at you.
You got Trump.
Oh, that's from New York too.
I think honestly, the biggest thing that has put a damper on New York
recently is all the shit with Diddy.
Like, yeah, yeah. Bad Boy Records was so seminal to the bling bling era
and like all the artists that were coming out under like under that umbrella.
So I think now to have such a prominent figure in New York
hip hop like P Diddy be completely embroiled in like just the most horrific allegations like every week.
There's something new I can barely have up.
What's wrong?
Just all these now.
Oh, like I'll just delete the whole thing I had about how they should have had Diddy come out.
I'm not guys.
I'm not up on the news.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
I, I, a quick Google search will horrify you, but I think that's like another,
I think that's another element of it.
Like it's kind of like, well, that could have been like the lowest hanging fruit.
Had he not been a total like sexual predator, evil doer.
I mean, that I feel he only left with Jay Z like in terms of Jay Z was the one for the average viewer to say, oh yeah, that's that.
That's that's Jay Z.
This is New York.
I totally get this.
But where does Jay Z live now?
Hmm.
Oh, that's right.
California.
I mean, was he at the Dodgers game?
Like I would be surprised if he wasn't.
Cause that was the other thing, man.
That the ESPN like had a, had a headline under the score, like as the
Dodgers were about to win and it was like fat Joe and Derek Jeter, who's
a, just a former Yankees player, highlight celeb appearances at like
game four of the Yankees Dodgers.
Yeah.
appearances at like game four of the Yankees.
Yeah.
We have Ken Jong just eating grotesque amounts of popcorn and hot dogs behind home base that you can see.
I feel like whoever wrote that from the FPN just hates the city of New York or
whatever, but it was just, I don't like, I love the city of New York.
I'm just saying this has been a bad look for them.
And it's tough.
I'm just like, I don't know.
I'll say this.
I've had LA inferiority complex when it comes to New York, because I love New York.
I love everybody.
I skew, I skew New York hip hop, uh, generally too.
And so like I was dreading this world series.
I'm like, they're going to beat the shit out of us.
We're the Dodgers and they're the Yankees.
And this sort of like reversal has been fantastic for my ego.
Um, I'm rubbing it in people's faces and that's what sports is meant to do
because that's, that's, that's the only venue for that.
Nine tit.
What's your take on fat Joe coming out?
Personally, I loved it.
I think it gave the performance of a lifetime.
Fat Joe was eating appropriately enough.
He's brat or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I don't really have-
I told you I should have said brat, Miles.
I fucked that up.
I can't speak to any baseball rivalries,
but I will say as someone who grew up, who grew up,, what the f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f I will say the better city. LA baby.
And that's really the final nail in the coffin of New York.
A formerly great city. Nine tits just put that nail in the coffin.
Yeah.
Wow.
Take that.
Yeah.
I did.
I don't know.
I, I feel like I've never seen someone look so alone in a stadium full of
people as Fat Joe on the, on the field, just like walking
around and trying to like get the crowd to do anything.
I don't know if it was just the way it was shot, but like ice cubes similarly on the
field all by himself, just walking around and seemed to be having a blast.
And it was like, man, that looks fun.
And I think it's because they did a good job of cube entering from the outfield,
making his way to home plate.
So you can traverse the entire field to do it.
Fat Joe came out of the dugout and just kind of did circles in the infield.
Yeah.
And it's all about blocking.
Thank you.
From a cinematic standpoint, I think even the establishing shot, there was a hero
shot of Ice Cube before we performed.
We went from the heels, we pan up. Thank you.
And that is what we used to do in this town.
Uh, is filming.
Before the industry was entirely cooked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where, where his fat Joe came from the, uh, dugout, walked up and just like
started turning around in the infield, kind of looking like that shot in die
hard three, where he like realizes
there's a sniper in Yankee stadium and is like spinning around and like freaking out.
And the guy's like, yeah, we're the nine.
Yeah.
When he's saying it, speaking in German.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's, that's weird that we both have that so indelibly burnt into our
memories.
Weird.
We're called sad dudes in their forties.
Welcome back to sad dudes in their 40s. Welcome back to sad dudes in their 40s.
Anyway, guess what?
We're talking about Die Hard with a Vengeance again.
Movie podcast where we only talk about three movies.
It's Rocky IV, it's Die Hard III.
And Speed, y'all.
I mean, pretty good movies.
I mean, we kind of nailed it with our-
There's a really good Speed podcast out right now. Y'all. Pretty good movies. We kind of nailed it with our.
There's a really good speed podcast out right now.
That's like 50 episodes.
And it's all about the film, like from the most microscopic details about like,
who, like Christopher Walken could have been the Dennis Hopper character and
Charlie Sheen could have been Keanu Reeves.
What?
And it was, yeah, it was like the momentum off of like hot shots and shit.
They're like,
Yo, sure.
The Charlie Sheen in there, like that would have been a different movie.
Yeah.
Don't fuck with daddy.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's, I didn't realize how important he was until you just said Charlie
Sheen could have been the hero.
Yeah.
Like you would have just like felt weird for Sandra Bullock, you know?
Oh, you would have been like, Oh, right.
The, the line read of it was cans.
Yeah.
It would have been so different with Charlie Sheen.
Oh, wow.
I'm sorry, Jack.
Harry couldn't make it.
I feel like he would have been fine.
Like walking would have pulled that off easy.
Oh yeah, he would have killed.
I mean, those lines would hit harder.
Dennis Hopper is like,
I'm sorry, Jack. Harry didn't make it.
We knew he blew up in that one, that booby-trapped house.
Yeah.
I'm like, wow. Get a cheap gold watch.

set very rustily because I haven't done stand-up in a little while, but it'll be so cool and
fun actually.
Check out the Bechtel cast, my movie podcast where we have done an episode about speed.
Wow.
Uh-huh.
But Die Hard 3, not so much.
Wow.
And that's New York City erasure, actually.
Yeah.
And that's proof that New York is fucked.
I don't even know who the women are in that film
that would even talk, but I can already tell you.
So one of the bad guys is woman,
and she, I believe is mute.
Like doesn't speak the entire film.
Oh yeah.
Unless she's like having rough sex with Jeremy Irons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like, yeah.
Whoa.
I hated.
Anyway, y'all should think about that for the Bechdel cast.
If you want, we can come on.
Sounds like a good one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come.
You're both welcome to come on in that episode.
Come on. Yeah. Come to it. Come to a zoom meeting where we won't, yeah. You're both welcome to come on that episode. Come on, yeah.

You just record yourselves.
Who do your worst?
But yeah, that's where you can follow me.
Great.
And is there work of media that you've been enjoying?
I'm going to promote someone's Instagram account.
Hell yeah. Vinnie Thomas, his Instagram handle is at v-i-n-n
underscore a-y-y.
He's one of my favorite comedians,
not me being like, oh, check out this man comedian.
But that is what I'm doing because he's very funny
and I love what he does over there.
So check out Vinnie Thomas.
You know, Vinnie Thomas.
Hey Vinnie.
Hey, Miles Gray.
Where can people find you?
Is there work in media that you've been enjoying?
I feel like I'm in trouble.
He said my whole name.
Uh, yeah, you can find me on Twitter and Instagram at milesofgray.
Obviously if you want to hear basketball talk from Jack and I, we do that on Jack and miles.
Got mad boosties or miles and Jack got mad boosties.
It all depends. It all depends. It all depends.
And I'm also talking about 90 day fiance on 420 day fiance.
A couple of tweets I like. First one, Josh Gondelman.
I love you, Josh Gondelman.
At Josh Gondelman tweeted, it's important to remind the Yankee fans in your life
that there is precedent for a team coming back from down 0 and 3 in a playoff series.
They need and love to hear it.
They do.
Shout out to those Red Sox.
And let's see, one more is, oh, this one, because we were just talking about speed,
from at Kola Wars veteran.
They tweeted this.
Oh, let me, I just want to share this cause it's, it's good to see in context.
It says today I learned that the sweetest word for speed is fart.
It's like max fart five fart control two to 12 kilometers.
And then you have the film called fart.
It's called, it was almost called fart in America and was almost about a bus that would blow
up if anybody farted on it, but everybody like, so they had to hold their farts in.
Anyways, actually, can we edit that out?
Because I actually want to write that into a screenplay.
That's pretty good.
That's actually really good.
That's actually fucking really good.
If you need to consult, like, perhaps someone with a master's degree in screenwriting, you
can hit me up.
And I think they're only asking for a story by credit, right, Kailin?
You're not trying to have the whole thing, but I'm just going to do a global replace
of speed with fire.
I think it'll translate otherwise.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Some tweets I've been enjoying.
Richard at Richard underscore normal on what, what the experience of being an NBA fan is these days.
Every game in the NBA is between two frauds.
If you lose, your fraudulence is proven.
If you win, you've won against a fraud and thus have proven nothing.
It is just, that's how it feels sometimes.
Bunch of frauds.
Bunch of frauds.
They're frauds.
Uh, and then Nicky Nasty at Nicole, uh, Fi on Twitter tweeted,
anxiety is so crazy because why do I have diarrhea?
Cause I'm scared of something that hasn't happened yet.
What purpose does this diarrhea serve evolutionarily?
Ask myself that question very often.
You're lighter.
You're lighter.
There it is.
Yeah.
Uh, you can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien.

like a New York hip-hop
No, I'm sorry. I I have to I got like so I just stumbled upon like some old school Bonnie Raitt

It's the 2008 remaster of this Bonnie Raitt track.
And yeah, I know many people are like, you didn't know about this?
No, I didn't.

Exactly
But anyway, this is this is it Bonnie Raitt, thank you
