Starting point is 00:00:00 I have to buy a new toilet paper. I you know how like a couple weeks ago I had that thin ass like mungy ply like it wasn't even fucking real and we haven't bought any yeah because like you know when we moved into this new place people just like someone gave us like a fucking military great amount of this terrible toilet paper. Oh, my God. And now I'm like, for your will. Did they hate you or something? I don't know, man. I think they're just like, here's a lot of toilet paper.

You're little on your third day because I'm like, that'd be the if I look at my house burned down, that's the first thing I'm buying so I can. Ryan, Ryan, the first fucking thing I got was a total Japanese bidet attach.
Starting point is 00:00:54 I'm like, I have nothing necessary. If I don't have a total, but like my asshole needs to be clean. I had to go total on them. Africa, bro, because I needed to honor my asshole is the only thing I had but the thing is like And then go Toto on him It's like a 21 Savage Africa But a but like it was just one of those things were like I yeah, I needed to have a just I needed that comfort And at that point when you use a bidet,
Starting point is 00:01:26 the toilet paper is really just for drying off. Right. You actually need better toilet paper. Yeah. But you need something with a bit of- You need that thicky thick. Structural integrity as we call it in the industry. I have a related complaint.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I spent a lot of my time at UCLA and their bathrooms there have the, I'm not just talking about the toilet paper because I expect bad toilet paper in a public restroom, but the college hand drying paper is tissue paper in some of the, it's just straight up. It's like, they're like, here, here are some f*****g tissues. Like. Like it's like when your hands are wet, it just like turns. It just comes to pieces.
Starting point is 00:02:09 And I've definitely seen that elsewhere. Like there's somebody who just had an excess of tissues who is like, we're going to pivot. We pivot to claiming that we can dry people's hands with this idea. All right. I know these are the shittiest tissues. No one wanted. What if we said they were paper towels yeah it's like the ones that like come out you know like it they come out wanted it like they're in a container kind of like this you know oh it's like they come out of the top yeah

Starting point is 00:03:29 based on her firsthand knowledge. From her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star, the truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamor. It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day, covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever thought about going voiceover? I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation. To most people, I'm the girl behind VoiceOver, the movement that exploded in 2024. VoiceOver is about understanding yourself outside of sex and relationships. It's more than personal. It's political, it's societal, and at times, it's far from what I originally intended it to be. These days, I'm interested in expanding what it means to be voiceover,
Starting point is 00:04:32 to make it customizable for anyone who feels the need to explore their relationship to relationships. I'm talking to a lot of people who will help us think about how we love each other. It's a very, very normal experience to have times where a relationship is prioritizing other parts of that relationship that are being naked together. How we love our family. I've spent a lifetime trying to get my mother to love me, but the price is too high. And how we love ourselves. Singleness is not a waiting room. You are actually at the party right now.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Let me hear it. Listen to VoiceOver on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways. Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding. But the price has gone up. So now I only buy one. The demand curve in action. And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on everybody's business from Bloomberg Businessweek.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I'm Max Chafkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters and how it shows up in our everyday lives. With guests like Business Week editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull, we'll take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing. So listen to everybody's business on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the

Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
Starting point is 00:07:23 of Dirty Daily Sidekast. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Love this show. Absolutely love it. This is a production of I Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we tell you some of the things that are trending over the weekend, some of the things that are trending right now. I am Jack O'Brien that over there is Mr. Miles Gray. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:43 I'm here, baby. Freshly new like new video. Just looking. Got a new. Looking great. Had to switch it up, y'all. For people who. Had to do it to them.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'm sure you've heard the audio fidelity on this show or maybe 420 Day Fiance, Mad Boosty, sometimes she can get a little wacky on my end. A little crackly. But just replaced one of my computers, so now I'm in my new era right now. You look great. The cameras following you all over the room as you pace back and forth. Shout out to AI for that one. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:13 The good work that AI is doing. It's not replacing anyone. We weren't planning on having a cameraman come in and tilt your camera back. Just a little lightly panning and tilting. Follow him, follow him. Stay on, Miles, for this. I'm sorry, are you talking to, is there a director you're speaking to in a controller?
Starting point is 00:08:34 So yeah, this is where we talk about the trends, we talk about what's happening, but we also talk about what's going on with us by telling you something we think is underrated, something we think is overrated. Miles, do you want to kick us off with something you think is underrated? What we think is overrated. Miles, do you wanna kick us off with something you think is underrated? Where did I put, oh, fuck, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Italian- It's back. Italian Brain Rot content, okay. I've talked about it on the show. I'm not gonna bore you with it. Just search Italian Brain Rot. It's, you're gonna see a series of AI-generated characters where people just say, oh, that's Cocodrillo Bombardino.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Or that- Yeah, yeah. Tra la la la la la la. characters where people just say, oh, that's Cocodrillo Bombardino or that Tralalelo Tralalá or that's Chimpanzini Campuchini or some whatever. So I go, I take, we go to the, as a family, go to the LA Zoo yesterday. The guy's child. He's now in his era where he's like, I'm like, do you want to see a monkey today? And he goes, yeah. You know, because before they're babies, they're like, they don't know what the fuck's going on yeah but now you're just putting them in front of stuff yeah now he's like locked in he's like i want to see a giraffe can i see a giraffe i say yes there's a giraffe there we go there to feed the giraffe no they say to not feed the giraffes there wasn't
Starting point is 00:09:38 anything to oh dude although there was tell me shit, bro, when I get to the zoo. When you say that, though, I was like, oh, maybe you can, because one dude was waving like eucalyptus in front of the traffic came down and another dude just kept putting his beer to the drafts mouth. Oh, no. And I was like, OK, see, this is why we can't have beer at the zoo. But I get it. This is a county. This is a county facility. So all bets are off here. This sounds like it was taken over by private equity because back then when my kids were at this stage, we went to the zoo.
Starting point is 00:10:12 There were people working there who were like, okay, this is where you line up. You get a eucalyptus branch and then in an orderly fashion, the giraffes know to come over here and just make sure to let go of the eucalyptus thing or they will lift you off your fucking feet This was like I probably like a last of us type situation where someone remembered the olden days It's like just take a switch of this eucalyptus and wave it the giraffes will come and then this other dude was just like How about Pacifico? Take a beer. Look, it's like a pilsner. It's but yeah, because, you know, they got out anyway.
Starting point is 00:10:48 So we go see the chimpanzees. All these kids kept saying chimpanzees. Look at the chimpanzees. No. Did you take a picture with the crocodile bombardino? And I was like, no. Talking about a caiman. The kids are already. And I guess more it's not not, it's just, look, I'm not like an old, I get it. Like every generation is gonna have their weird shit
Starting point is 00:11:08 they like to fix it on. But just the speed at which this shit takes hold because of TikTok is absolutely mind blowing. Like no one- You were just hearing ambient references to Italian brain rot. Just like- Yes, chimpanzee. Echoing around. Just firing around. So much chimpanzee.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So much chimpanzee. What is it? Chimpanzee, because this is so my thing. The reason I don't like the Italian brainwrap is like you talk about it and you say it in a way that like it has a rhythm in the videos, like they have a rhythm to the way they say it. But I can never fucking remember what the words are. But I mean, but I mean, and like so I just have it's like
Starting point is 00:11:44 instead of having a thing stuck in my head, I have a thing that is on the tip of my tongue stuck in my head. And I'm just like, it's fun. Like, baby, you gotta it's funny. Chimpanzee. Ah, yeah, the tropy tropy tropy tropa. It's it's just whatever. So anyway, under I completely underrated how like I know it was popular,
Starting point is 00:12:06 but it's I don't know, man. Kids might not know the names of fucking animals after this. I mean, they'll know new names of animals and they'll be viral and fun. Oh, maybe. No, me about binomial nomenclature. Is there a giraffe one? Is there a giraffe brain rot? There has to be. There's fucking one.
Starting point is 00:12:30 There's ones for everyone. There's one for everything. Yeah. All right. My underrated is the idea of giving the Pope psychedelics. I think the Pope, I think we need the Pope to take psychedelics. I read a New Yorker article by Michael Pollan, who's that journalist who has a whole book about using psychedelics and like plant-based medicine. And I did not
Starting point is 00:12:51 read that book, but this article is specifically, so fair warning, I did not read the book. This article is specifically about a study they did with people who were like seminary students and like religious, you know, like ministers and various religious leaders across the board, you know, Islam, Judaism, Baptists, Episcopalians, and they gave them psychedelics and like most of them were like this completely changes everything about how I think about religion. They started having visions from other religions, you know? So they're like, oh, like this, like Baptist starts seeing images from Islamic art and like this Episcopalian, which Episcopalian is like Catholicism light. It's like sort of like locked down. He started speaking in tongues.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Oh, okay. Mr. prophesy. Yeah. Yeah. And he was like, I used to fucking think that was so wack. I was like, why are these people doing like they just want attention? You know what I mean? Right. And People just want attention. That's always what I think. Right. And there's one attention. That's always my thing. Like, let the blessing come in.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah, exactly. When I see that, I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Yeah, we get it. But, you know, he had that experience and I don't know, it just feels like it could be like they could be good for each other. You know, like organized religion. Obviously psychedelics could be good for each other, you know, like organized religion. Obviously psychedelics could be good for organized religion, but like I also feel like a religious context is also maybe the right one for psychedelics. Like, because, you know, right now I associate it with like medical lab settings,
Starting point is 00:14:40 which feels a little weird and clinical, but like that's what needs to happen for them to be accepted. And then, you know, sometimes annoying people who are like kind of new age about it and stuff. Yeah. I mean, I can see how they would probably, this is the last thing that people who are like uphold those structures would want because it's truly like these things haven't really had much change for centuries, you know, and not to the level where like many other places,
Starting point is 00:15:08 like even other industries, some person kind of gets far out and brings a new idea to a certain industry or business or something like that. But like a religion, like, bro, don't take no fucking shrooms and tell me what's up about this religion. Like now I can, wow, I can see. I can see that kind of being like the future for both of these things, because also like, organized religion is on its way out.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Like it's just, we're seeing a lot of interest dropping off in that realm. And yeah, I mean, like the substances were originally used in sacramental, you know, holy context. Um, and also like religions used to have more like mysticism, a lot of these like world religions, and they've just been like kind of written out of them because, you know, you have to make it seem serious. Yeah. So like this allows religions to like, it's not like a new direction.
Starting point is 00:16:08 It's like reconnecting them with like ancient mystic traditions, like across the board that have been kind of drilled out. So I don't know, like organized religion always finds a way to fuck things up. I'm sure there are like downfalls, but I also just, it feels like it makes sense. It's a good article, I recommend it.
Starting point is 00:16:28 The Michael Paul. Don't need it, bro. I did a bunch of shrooms when I was 17 and fully freaked out because my dog was dying. Pretty much same thing as being a cleric and taking Yeah, same deal, same deal. Same conclusions we arrived at. I think we're done here.
Starting point is 00:16:43 What is something you think is overrated? Overrated, oh man, my resistance to tabletop gaming. I have a lot of friends who do tabletop gaming. I've been drawn in with some of the card games, your Jaws card games, your other ones. There was like a fascism one that was like really fun. And then Dungeons and Dragons is something like, I did a couple times when I was a kid, a lot younger.
Starting point is 00:17:07 And obviously now it's hugely popular again, especially with like these performances of like doing campaigns and things like that. So last night I went to the Hollywood Bowl and saw the Dimension 20 live Dungeons and Dragons show. And holy shit. Okay, like intellectually, I knew, I knew they sold out the Madison Square Garden.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I knew how big of a thing it is. But you actually went. You experienced it. When you go. Speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues. I'm out here, I'm chungled down bimothy out here, okay? That's what I was surrounded by.
Starting point is 00:17:44 And it was just one of those things that I immediately connected to, A, I remember tabletop doing Dungeons and Dragons and having that kind of fun and the chance of rolling the die and all that kind of thing. But then also the performance of it was so fun and so enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I was like, that's right. Because Kyle Ayers, he's come on before. He's like, he runs campaigns and he's always been like, guys, you should try it. He's like, we can have a lot of fun. It doesn't even have to be like fantasy stuff. It could be like a John McClain diehard thing. We've both been like, yeah, yeah, okay. I mean like, yeah, that could be cool. And then gesturing the jerk off hand motion to each other. He's like, it's a zoom. I can see what you're doing. This is really fucking rude.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Sorry, we're just insecure with things we don't know everything about. I don't know if that was transparent. But yeah, after this, I was like, oh, this is like totally, totally fucking by my resistance to like these new things, especially new kinds of games, because I'm kind of rigid and like the things that I like Totally fucking shattered so overrated. I'm slowly opening up now to Dungeons and Dragons and having fun and like watching this it was amazing and all the people on stage were such good fucking performers Brendan Lee Mulligan is like a fucking incredible real fucking dungeon master
Starting point is 00:19:03 It's like when you see that it does feel like there's like this other level of performance that you see and you're like, yeah, okay, this is- It's great storytelling. Like friendly mold again. Yeah, 100%. The writing on the show is incredible. For people who haven't seen it, I mean, you can just go on YouTube, I think,
Starting point is 00:19:21 or you have to go drop out. There's some stuff, but yeah, if you subscribe to drop out, it's all there, and I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir because I feel like there's probably a ton of overlap with drop out listeners. Yeah, yeah. And zeit gang. Yeah, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I think we, yeah. Could you imagine what Chris Crofton? You know what I mean? I even think for our listeners who don't, even might not care, I think just that, it's like another version of like a Santa University where we just go. Maybe a Halloween version of Santa University.
Starting point is 00:19:50 What do you think? Oh, shit. Let's get in the lab. Let's get in Dexter's laboratory. I've been wanting to think I think we should do like more Halloween content to lead up to Halloween. Halloween. Yeah, we've got I think.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Look at look at us planning five months out, baby. This ain't no 6.8 weeks, motherfuckers. This is five fucking months, baby. 150 days. Yeah. See the AI that they're trying to replace us with do that. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta go to one of these live shows, man.
Starting point is 00:20:20 They sound incredible. Yeah, yeah, next time, next time, we'll go. Bimothy Chungus is. Chungle Down Bim. Chung next time. We'll go. Bimothy Chungus is- Chungle, Chungle Down Bim. Chungle Down Bim. Short for Bimothy. Yeah, that was the sort of main bad guy, my antagonist character. What a word, what a name.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Short for Bimothy. All right. My overrated is just like my assumption that I knew what songs were about, specifically the song, Semi Charmed, Kind of Life. Baby, baby. Do what is it about?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Do do do do. Is it heroin? No, it's not heroin. So I'm always like heroin. It's it's crystal meth. And the way that you know it's crystal meth is because one of the lyrics is doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break. It won't stop. I won't come down. Um, it's yeah, I keep stock and a tick tock rhythm,
Starting point is 00:21:13 a bump for the drop. And then I bumped up. I took the hit that I was given. Then I bumped again, then I bumped again. Um, then, uh, how do I get back to the place where I fell asleep inside you? So there's also like the down, the downsides. I didn't. Wow. I know. Right?
Starting point is 00:21:32 Like I just nodding out mid pump. Is that what you're saying? So how do, and saying, how do I get back to that place? Like that was the bar. It's so wild. But yeah, I don't know. I went and looked at the writing of the song and they're just like, yeah, it was about crystal meth and the dangers of addiction, kind of.
Starting point is 00:21:55 But they sound like they're flying for at least the first couple of verses. I didn't read to the end. But yeah, I guess I assumed that like the vibe of the song just sort of washed over me and I got the drift. And but then I saw this reaction video where a guy is like really listening to the lyrics of this song. And it is literally the most about drugs as song since Lou Reed named a song heroin and then like,
Starting point is 00:22:25 yeah, all the lyrics about the mechanics of how the needle works. Like it's, it's like up there with just straight forward name checking it. And I mean, cocaine is even cream or Clapton. I don't know. But anyway, that one is like, was there. Yeah. Is that, is that one literally about cocaine or is it like about a person who is being Compared as a metaphor. Yeah, I mean she don't lie. She don't cook. I mean, it's a metaphor You're right. It's not as lyric is the son is like being like yo
Starting point is 00:22:56 This is the fuck you pound up the rock turn remember when I fell asleep inside you I just wanna go back But yeah, I thought this was like a Gen Z anthem about putting a positive spin on life. And it is not, it is about getting high on crystal meth. Our listening comprehension was not still is not good with music. I'm like, if, if it feels upbeat, I don't know what they're talking about. And then I'm like, Oh, this is an abortion. Yeah. Right. Yeah. See, at least brick is on the note. It, oh, this is an abortion. Yeah, right. Yeah. I see.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I see. At least brick is on the note. It's like, this is, this sounds like what it's about. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Bricks of cocaine. That's what that song's about, right? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Yeah. Later he talks about like jaws locking up or like, it's not great. Yeah. Hanging out with Hitler. Just rocking back and forth. How do I get back to that, God. Just rocking back and forth. How do I get back to that place where I was rocking back and forth and sweating through my pants? With Hitler freaking out Mussolini. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and continue to talk about drugs.
Starting point is 00:24:00 People on drugs. We'll be right back. Hell yeah. Drugs, people on drugs. We'll be right back. Hell yeah. Amy Robach and TJ Holmes here. Diddy's former protege, television personality, platinum selling artist, Danity King alum Aubrey O'Day,

Now you're you guys are completely chipped now because you're like, what about this guy? It's like he doesn't have a whole background of Nazi shit.
Starting point is 00:29:34 He's not simultaneously working with right wing government organizations in Germany to be like, goes out to you. Yeah. Also, I can't imagine that it was as dramatic and stiff-armed as Elon Musk. It was, you know... Oh, really? On the high... It's pretty good. It's pretty...
Starting point is 00:29:55 It's pretty up there. It's pretty up there. It's pretty up there. But again, context is everything. This does not give the same energy at all of the Elon Musk one. No, not at all. The Elon Musk one is so wild. It's because if you took a freeze frame, then they're trying to be like, we're dead.
Starting point is 00:30:14 But again, I love to see for the professional hypocrites start melting down over this. Yeah. Anyway, speaking of melting down, the New York Times published a report alleging that Elon Musk has been using a cocktail of drugs, including ketamine, ecstasy, magic mushrooms, psilocybin and Adderall on a daily basis, which would sound a lot more fun if he was like recording an album or, you know, doing something cool and not bankrolling fascism. It's it they have photographic evidence and they're like, yeah, we actually took pictures of his
Starting point is 00:30:51 pill box or somebody took pictures of his pill box so we can 100% say it because he is immediately questioning the veracity of the reporting. Wow. I mean, look, we saw it, Elon, come on now. What, what, what are we doing here? What, what are you really denying? Every video we've seen of you has been pretty, pretty out there. He's been exhibiting frequent mood swings, no shit. And has a fixation on having more children were also two takeaways.
Starting point is 00:31:21 This, this New York times report, report honestly just feels like they were like, we are able to source the stuff that everybody else has been saying and that's been obvious to everyone. The one additional detail is the ketamine use has fucked up his bladder, which is a problem that happens if you're using it more often than you're supposed to be using it. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:31:47 Like you just have to, is it damaging their bladder or something? Or just the sensation of having to pee, kind of your brain starts being like, gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee. I'm actually not sure, but it's consistent with like overuse of it. Right, oh boy, oh boy.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah, just a whole mess down there. All that with the allegations that his penis is a kind of implant. Yeah. Yeah. A lot going on down there. A lot going on. But yeah, I mean, he talked about taking ketamine to treat depression on multiple occasions and is like, I have serious concerns about SSRIs as they tend to zombify people. Occasional use of ketamine is much better in my opinion, but then overusing it and just giving that a terrible name. Right, right, right. He's look, God, he's really been on one ever since this like story came out because like,
Starting point is 00:32:42 did you see the the goodbye party? Yeah. The office had like a press conference where he was standing there and he just like happened to have a black eye and also was fucking high. Again, he was just like, he was as Trump was talking, his eyes, bro, this dude was peeking, bro. He looked like me without the sunglasses on, like in 2002 at a rave or something Yeah, we're like He's taking those big-ass breaths
Starting point is 00:33:11 Yeah, it was not a good look to have this article cook up article come out and then probably in his mind He's like man fucking all these people think I'm high Yeah Trying to act not high while you're high Probably. Yeah. Trying to act not high while you're high in front of the national media. You know what? I do wish that. I do wish that on my worst.
Starting point is 00:33:30 I know it's actually kind of fun to see. Do you think he has any shame? I feel like he has no shame about it. Like in his mind, he's living in a completely other like if he's fully off that shit, I don't think it even matters to him. What people think he looks like. He's just like, well, this is this is me. This is how I'm getting by. Yeah, I think I think't think it even matters to him what people think he looks like. He's just like, bro, this is, this is me. This is how I'm getting by.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Yeah. I think, I think he thinks it's cool. I think he's like trying to do a like rock star billionaire thing. Um, you know, like I think he's like, we're, you know, billionaire. I bet he says all the time behind closer billionaires are the new rock stars. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, in the sense that they can like get away with doing literally anything they want. That's probably true. Yeah. But I will just like his run over like since the inauguration, like leading up to the inauguration, but like really like when
Starting point is 00:34:19 he was like really high on the campaign trail up through now, I feel like is one of the most consistent, like there's that video of like James Brown when he gets out of jail and he's like being interviewed on, I think it's like early CNN and he's just like flying. But then like, you know, the next time he goes on TV, he's like, he's been told by people like, don't do that. Don't do that shit anymore. Night to night you find me.
Starting point is 00:34:48 That one. Yeah, yeah. I feel good. Yeah. I smell good. I make love. Good. Yeah. Oh, James trying to fuck the woman is interviewing him via satellite. Yes. Like it's up there with with that. Like I feel like he is visibly that high all the time, Elon Musk, like for the past. But like, because nobody can tell him anything,
Starting point is 00:35:11 because being rich is the only thing that matters, he's just continuously there in a way that's kind of got to love seeing just the emptiness of this whole worldview kind of gotta love seeing just the emptiness of this whole worldview kind of on display. What do you think about the black eye? Do we think it's, I think Jay Leno gave it to him. I know, I'm like, hey, black eye club? Black eye club.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Look, Kristy Yamaguchi-Main posted on Twitter, fire tweet that he suspects is Stephen Miller who's left-handed through a weak-ass left hook, and that's why he has like a light shiner. And also around the story, as we talked about last week, about Stephen Miller's wife leaving the administration to go work for Musk full-time now. And Stephen Miller went on TV and he's like,
Starting point is 00:35:58 and it's totally fine, and it's fine. I'm sure it is, who cares? All these people are fucking loveless freaks. But I don't know, I'm like it is who cares like all these people are fucking loveless freaks, but I don't know I'm like is he said did you see his explanation? Here, let me I'll play it It's this whole interaction is so fucking funny because like Elon tries to make a joke about how he got it by referencing the Emmanuel Macron face mush
Starting point is 00:36:24 But here it is and Jack. Let me know if you hear this. What is your eye? Okay? What happened to your dry? I know this is a blues thing. Well, it wasn't I was anyway near France What does that mean That's so fucking funny, what does that mean you're flying on drugs you try to make a joke and the person wasn't What does that mean? is this Friend McCrory anyway, so Yeah, I just forced around with the lex and I said go ahead punch me in the face
Starting point is 00:37:02 And he did turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face Actually, this knows exit He could do is a real piece of shit that Shit, that's how you do that. Yeah, you you have been horsing around with X you ketamine molly freak What are you talking about all the fucking time? Then he goes on because this whole thing was meant to look like Elon's goodbye party to try and be like, Bon voyage, special government.
Starting point is 00:37:30 We're still good friends. Yeah. And it was meant to be like, this is sort of like the optics to be like, and guys, we are done with Elon Musk here at the White House. Please do not associate us with this pariah anymore. We have our own set of priority pariahs we'd like you to focus on. By the end of it, Trump basically, he'll be back.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Like, just like, not even, not even say goodbye. He's like, I think he'll be back. And you're like, okay, exactly. Because this is, he's not leaving. This is all to try and steady the polls a bit for the optics of this administration. Cause we know this guy's going fucking nowhere. Yeah. He looks, yeah, once again, very high. Also beat up. The last time we talked about
Starting point is 00:38:13 the Black Eye Club was with Jay Leno and there's a whole conspiracy theory that celebrities just show up with black eyes all the time. More than, like when was the last time you got a black eye? a real like a yeah I feel like my early 20s. Yeah, man. That shit was probably It wasn't even from like a like a fight it was I remember oh I got headed in a like a soccer game It was like yeah, I was probably fucking 21 22. You know, this motherfucker's not playing soccer You know this motherfuck's getting black eyes dude. He's joining the club.
Starting point is 00:38:48 He's joining the black eye club man. Follow the black guys. Follow the black guys. Follow the black guys. Follow the black guys. Follow the black guys. Follow the black guys. We'll show you a good time.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Also there is a fun tweet from the Wall Street Journal that said, Trump was often at odds with Musk. The billionaire's eccentric humor often confused the president who told his aides that Musk was, quote, 50 percent genius, 50 percent boy. Boy. Which is also like coming from a guy who like eats steak with fucking ketchup and McDonald's like every day. That's that is wild.
Starting point is 00:39:25 And who's like prized possessions, like a signed boxing glove. That's that's why. If you're not doing like Rickles style, like material, then Trump thinks your car is like, he's like, what is that? He's like a boy like boy jokes. He I like that he like came in and like tried to help. He was like his first lady the first lady He's talking about the yeah, you're trying to help explain his jokes for him. Like, you know, their friend is just too fucked up
Starting point is 00:39:53 Yeah, right. Oh, that's what he's trying to say to this. He's trying to he's actually fine wingman the joke Yeah, exactly. He's like his Macron. Mm-hmm. That's what he meant. I do wonder if this is, it's interesting that like he is this high all the time while working for the government, notoriously like very strict drug testing for like government jobs. And then also like SpaceX has incredibly strict drug testing because they're firing rockets into the sky. But it sounds like the testing's ramping up. Like Musk tweeted last week that it's like, we're actually going to be doing more tests at a higher rate now. And you're like, oh, the FAA is just fully owned by you now.
Starting point is 00:40:31 When you're like, oh, yeah, that one blew up. Yeah, just keep, I don't know, brute force it till you figure it out. Yeah. He's like somebody at a Vegas roulette table just tilting, just being like, hit me again. Actually, we're going to double that. Just like keep going. But just with exploding billion dollar rockets. Right. This guy just Yolo a man. Yeah, that's right. Anyways, we'll we'll be keeping an eye on him.
Starting point is 00:40:56 If I had to guess, he's like going somewhere to like dry out or whatever, you know, when he's like he'll be back. It's probably just like he'll be it. Maybe he's like he'll be back when he fucking needs something Exactly just like a dad right? Yeah, like yeah, he's mad now. He'll be back. He'll be back a little cocaine She called me in the morning As they say in Scarface, that's right meanwhile Donald Trump has retweeted a conspiracy theory that I feel like is kind of the best case scenario for Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Uh, he's retweeted the old Biden clone theory. Robot clone. Let's not forget, we're talking dueling technologies in this conspiracy theory. The clone, clone goes on the outside robot on the inside. It's a Terminator sitch. Exactly. Don't ask more questions. Everybody knows.
Starting point is 00:41:49 If you don't understand the canon, then don't fucking ask. It's probably just a distraction for something like way more horrible and hugely consequential. But it's just. This is the exact thing that he reposted on Truth. Yeah. Quote, there is no hashtag Joe Biden executed in 2020
Starting point is 00:42:10 hashtag Biden clones doubles and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see Hashtag Democrats don't know the difference hashtag us steel hashtag steel Yes, hashtag MAGA Democrats don't know the difference. Hashtag U.S. Steel. Hashtag Steel. Is that real? Yes. Hashtag MAGA.
Starting point is 00:42:29 The hashtags are, first of all, to do hashtag Joe Biden and hashtag Biden. And it's just in common. Hashtag Biden clones doubles and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. Exactly. That's a great, great pull quote. Man, so they're clones, clones doubles and robotic engine. Are they, are these three kinds of people parading around as Joe Biden?
Starting point is 00:42:54 Or is this like an organic clone bot? Are we talking bionics? It's like how they achieved the special effects in Jurassic Park where they- Some practical. Yeah, some practical, some puppets, some literal robots, some of that CGI. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. It's such a over the top claim, but yes, indeed. Agreed. It's truly the last possible way to salvage Joe Biden's reputation,
Starting point is 00:43:21 I feel like, would be a rumor where he did did the thing everybody wanted him to do and like beat Trump. And that was his last act. And then he was executed somehow. And now it's just bad software. What was that? Yo, that was a clone we had out there. You know how you all see multiplicity? They get a little bit wonky or every kind of copy you do,
Starting point is 00:43:43 every subsequent copy of a copy gets a little watered down. So I feel like you could convince him of this. Like this would really fuck with Joe Biden's head if you passed this conspiracy theory long ago. I know. I would be like, I need you to sit down, Joe. You're a clone. You're a clone. What? Yes. Yes. If you remember, oh God, that's just no, he's old and has cancer. Just stop talking and just go, just go ride out your life. Okay. Thanks for dragging us down with you.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Now we do want to talk about the evidence because there is an eight hour Facebook video. Those posted in 2021. Eight hour Facebook video is the most frightening grouping of words I've ever heard in my life. Eight hour Facebook. People on true social backed up his claim with posts about how Biden's eyes changed from blue to black, which just to correct them there, his eyes have always been the same color, which is coin slot. He just has little dashes under his eyebrows. Nobody's nobody, nobody knows what color his eyes are. And you have to put a coin in to activate them. Yeah, you haven't had eyes back there since the late 80s.
Starting point is 00:44:53 They receded into coin slots. That's right. He's got, I mean, Trump is, I don't know, man. We're dealing with another old person who's freaking out online constantly. Cause he was also just screaming about a CBS conspiracy theory this weekend too, along with this Biden clone thing. He was claiming that CBS was suppressing footage of his 2015
Starting point is 00:45:17 coal bear show appearance. He's like, they don't want you to see it. It's gone. It's everywhere. Been erased. They don't want you to see Trump. It's nowhere they don't want you to see it. It's gone. It's everywhere, been erased. They don't want you to see Trump. It's nowhere scrubbed except for youtube.com
Starting point is 00:45:29 where you can just search it. Just watch it. And it's right there. It's like, what are you fucking saying, dude? Who's saying things to you? Or is this truly just your late night freakies that you gotta keep doing because, you know, the gray matter's starting to go mushy. Sir, the president having the late-night freaky's again. What do we do?
Starting point is 00:45:48 Damn it! Did you? I thought you said you drained his phone so you have to say he would have to charge overnight for him to use it again. I'm sorry. Barron showed him how to use a portable battery. It's wild that at a time when he is actually perpetrating a CBS conspiracy by like trying to blackmail them and didn't ever saying anything bad about him ever, he is claiming a CBS conspiracy that is the suppressing of like does he is it just because when he turns on CBS, they're not actively rerunning the interview? Like I have no idea. I don't know. I just like to claim that it's gone forever. No one wants you to see it, but it's on the fucking first place. You'd go look for something like that is so bizarre.
Starting point is 00:46:32 I mean, his his response when shown the video on YouTube was, of course. Yeah, exactly. Had you did that? He was like, I don't care. Yeah, that's right. Let's take a quick break. And I'm going to go Then he was like, I don't care. Yeah. That's right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation. To most people, I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation.
Starting point is 00:48:07 To most people, I'm the girl behind VoiceOver, the movement that exploded in 2024. VoiceOver is about understanding yourself outside of sex and relationships. It's more than personal. It's political, it's societal, and at times, it's far from what I originally intended it to be. These days, I'm interested in expanding what it means to be voiceover, to make it customizable for anyone who feels the need to explore their relationship to relationships.
Starting point is 00:48:39 I'm talking to a lot of people who will help us think about how we love each other. It's a very, very normal experience to have times where a relationship is prioritizing other parts of that relationship that are being naked together. How we love our family. I've spent a lifetime trying to get my mother to love me, but the price is too high. And how we love ourselves. Singleness is not a waiting room.
Starting point is 00:49:02 You are actually at the party right now. Let me hear it. Just listen to voiceover on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways. Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding,
Starting point is 00:49:26 but the price has gone up, so now I only buy one. The demand curve in action, and that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek. I'm Max Chafkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving
Starting point is 00:49:41 into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. With guests like Business Week editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull, we'll take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.
Starting point is 00:50:07 So listen to everybody's business on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States. Recipients have done the improbable, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.
Starting point is 00:50:25 This medal is for the men who went down that day. It's for the families of those who didn't make it. I'm JR Martinez. I'm a US Army veteran myself, and I'm honored to tell you the stories of these heroes on the new season of Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage from Pushkin Industries and iHeart Podcast. From Robert Blake, the first black sailor

You'll hear about what they did, what meant and what their stories tell us about the nature of courage and sacrifice Listen to Medal of Honor on the I heart radio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast
Starting point is 00:51:22 And we're back back And we're back. We're back. According to a new poll, more Americans have a positive image of AOC than Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. She was viewed positively by 46% of respondents while Trump was viewed positively by 44%. All right, stop the presses. The Democrats have chosen their next candidate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:44 That's actually, absolutely not going to be her. That's what I'm seeing. Pol has a margin of error of plus minus two percentage points. We have heard tell behind the scenes of the Democratic Party that their process for choosing a candidate is, bring me your most normal white man. Your most neutral white. Yes. Do we have any neutral whites that we could put in there? Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. You're going to love this one. His name is Jarf.
Starting point is 00:52:16 A dry white. We don't want it too sweet. We want a dry white. No, no, no. Jarf. Sorry. It's an algorithmic name, kind of a blending of all the names that create this person. I feel like the viewed positively polls are tend to under, like, weren't there a lot of good, least favorable, most favorable viewed positively thing? Like 25 points underwater in 2016, Like his positive versus negative views were like historically,
Starting point is 00:52:48 like the second worst is Goldwater with like 43% positive, 47% negative. And Trump in 2016 was 36 positive, 61 negative. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget who won that election, but it was like, it doesn't fucking matter. Why are they doing this poll still? It doesn't fucking matter. We're Pat.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Like this is for the fucking forties and fifties. These kinds of polls. Do you look favorably upon this person? I'm sorry. This we're so far beyond this shit now. Like this for like somebody to endorse your cola is like what this is useful for. It's not where the country is to be like, they seem like a nice enough person. Yeah. Or like in the same instance, you like, oh, God, terrible guy.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I'm going to vote for him, though. Right. Yeah. So how is this? What's how does what's the utility of this information exactly? If we know even the terrible like approval ratings or positive feelings or negative feelings really have no bearing on how people vote at the end of the day. Because most people,
Starting point is 00:53:57 you should be asking what the fuck people think of the policies that are out there right now and who's helping who. Because that's how people, most people didn't know shit and were voting for Trump. So this is like, what's the point of even saying this? He gets things done, I think. That's why I like him.
Starting point is 00:54:15 I think again, this is not the game. Fuck these personality contests, like these kinds of polls, like fucking talk, get your fucking shit together with policy. Yeah, I, uh, the, the only two people viewed more favorably than AOC are the Obamas, Barack with 53 positive versus 43 negative and Michelle Obama, 49% positive, 45% negative. Um, do we think there's a chance that they're like, so Trump is like, where you can run for a third term?
Starting point is 00:54:49 Like, that's what I'm doing. Like that they bring Obama back out of the. Oh, to be like, oh, we doing that. Oh, a third time. Your parts nemesis, the spooky black man. Right. I mean, I mean, if you're a lot of other terms, but that's so fucking. It's so backwards. Like, oh, my God. The Democrats would love nothing more than like, yeah, man, let's go back to
Starting point is 00:55:12 two thousand. This feels like the the ultimate big D Democrat move. Like they said they'd vote for him a third time in that movie. Get out. So that's America. Basically, there was something very prescient about that. I think, you know, if Trump runs for a third term, it's not gonna be a fair fight. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:55:33 What the fuck are they talking about? He's like, I run for a third term. Well, I lost that one fair and square. I guess I'll go. Guess we're outta here. Get the fuck outta here. Yeah. I think this is, again, this is cover for the Democrats because what they want,
Starting point is 00:55:48 the Democrats would love nothing more than to just find the most chill, vibey candidate that that'll be the thing people vote for more than disrupting the status quo. Yeah. That's the only thing they can see. Like they actually can't see anything else. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:56:05 And maybe that's where they fuck up, because, I mean, obviously, AOC came up outside of the mainstream party now is obviously playing the game with the establishment to sort of stay up, you know, keep her position. And maybe they're like, yeah, maybe maybe she'll play ball and maybe she will and maybe she won't. I don't know. But, you'all this just figuring out a candidate isn't the fucking, isn't the biggest problem that the party has. Right. That's all I care. Let's look at the horse race. Let's see what's going on.
Starting point is 00:56:34 People like this horse more. Does it run faster? No idea. Let's look at the metrics. Let's look at all these, all this polling that doesn't mean shit so that we can construct the narrative. How fast does the horse go? Can it beat the other horse with speed? No clue. Not interested in that. That's, things get a little weird when you start looking at that kind of thing. Yeah. All right. Speaking of things getting a little weird, imagine dragons and radio head two bands that, I don't know, I guess a lot of people are like, yeah, I would say radio had had the edge heading into You know four years ago in terms of people fucking with everything everything
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah, so radio head lead singer Tom York after you know He was heckled for seemingly supporting Israel at a concert and walked off a stage as a result, like months ago, seven months ago. Yeah, it was in 2024, yeah. And so he just released a statement. He was like, that was, I've been in shock ever since that, and it took me this long to release a statement.
Starting point is 00:57:40 And he was specifically is in shock that his supposed silence was somehow being taken as complicity and struggled to find an adequate way to respond to this and carry on with the rest of the shows on the tour. He specifically like says, you know, calls it a unfolding atrocity, the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. And you're like, okay, are we going to keep going in that direction? But then he is a lot of like both side stuff and it's him being like. And the real thing that we got to talk about here
Starting point is 00:58:14 is people who are being affected by social media witch hunts. Well, like me, a pro-Palestinian who are no, no, no, no, no. Oh, like me, like me, Tom York. Oh, for ducking your head the whole time. Yeah. And then being like, why do they want to hear from me? Well, you're pretty outspoken on a lot of other things, dude. Yeah. No, not this one. That leave me alone.
Starting point is 00:58:34 So you're trying to like cancel like debt for the global south or climate change or the war, whatever. OK. He also did it said another thing. He's like, well, I play in America and doesn't mean I support Trump because a lot of people, they're trying to get Radiohead to cancel a show in Israel. And he's like, it doesn't mean I support Netanyahu. Right.
Starting point is 00:58:56 And it's like, well, there's a lot going on and a lot of artists have chosen to not sort of whatever. Okay, okay, Thom Yorke.
