And I'm thrilled to be joined by special guest co-host, first face on Mount Zytmore, first place in your heart, taller than you thought she was, smaller than your average Zamboni, because she's Lil' Zam, Miss Jamie Loftus! Okay.

No, I just sent you bugs. A bug is a type of encrypted love from me. Jamie on the daily zeitgeist. Yo, we're flex. Let's ride, cause I just hacked a Zamboni. And that's it. That's amazing. That was so good.

Thank you so much. That's at justtdz, a.k's at justtdz. Of course. Bugs like the computer bugs because you're a hacker. A bug's like. Because you're a hacker that codes.

I'm a hacker that codes. If you don't know, that's fine. If you don't know, that's fine. That's totally fine. As Biggie said, if you don't know, that is fine. That'd be funny if As Biggie said, if you don't know, that is fine. That would be funny if they're just chiller edits of his music. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious, the wonderful Joelle Monique.

Hey, what's up, y'all? Y'all are so cute. I don't know if you're listening to this, but in person, adorable. Oh, thank you. You, but in person, adorable. You're adorable in person, too. Truly a very cute room right now. Joelle, how are you? So good.

So good. So good. I saw the last Avengers movie, which was amazing. My roommate's mom is in town. She's way chill. Uh, I love getting high with parents. It's like my favorite pastime. Let me introduce you to the good stuff.

Yeah, it's been great. Um, and are you introducing them to like good weed for the first time? Like, yeah, I think so. She's from Ohio. So I don't, I don't not trusting anything she's getting from me. I was like, let me amp you up slowly. Let's start with some light edibles, and we'll just work our way up to some Skywalker OG, and it'll be good.

Wow. Yeah. Skywalker OG. Lucky mom. Got to watch out for that stuff, I always say. Well, Joelle, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to take our listener. Oh, I should say off the top. Miles is just out for a couple of days. He'll be back. Don't read anything into the fact that I was out yesterday and now Miles is out. We can be in the same room. We are still

really good friends. Everyone, you can check my Twitter feed for all the official conspiracy theories. There are some cheating. You know, there's a lot going on. I just want to be here for you as your Perez to let you know what the real tea is. Yeah. Miles is cheating on me. Well, that's a likely story. Right. But I was gone yesterday.

Miles talked about how I was on the hunt for some really dope 88 Birkenstocks. And as you guys can see, I copped them. And I mean, my feet are hideous, but still. You'd never know. You'd never know. In those gorgeous stocks. Those gorgeous stocks. All right.

We are going to get into what we're talking about today. First of all, we're going to say just fuck brexit because will may be cheating on kate uh we're going to talk about joe biden joining the race uh and you know the fact that he's a front runner and why the fuck and why and why would that be uh we are going to talk about uh whether trump's fall in the approval ratings from the Mueller report is over. We're going to talk about whether Netflix is killing America's sex drive, which is a story that you see frequently. The fact that this new technology is killing America's sex drive. Netflix is not a new technology.

What if sex was just boring? Right, exactly. Why can't it just be that? Well, I do think that that is, well, we'll get into it, but I do think that people used to have sex out of boredom and we're just less bored. We have better options. That's a really solid theory. There's so many things I can think of I want to do more than fuck ever. Well, I guess we'll unpack it. Right.

We're going to talk about a woman who woke up after 27 years in a coma. Oh, God. And then at the end, we are going to talk James Bond news and get Joelle's official take on Avengers Endgame. I don't know if there will be spoilers. We'll see. And we'll warn you if there will be. Spoilers. We'll see.

And we'll warn you if there will be. But first, Joelle, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Yeah. I recently downloaded every single episode of every podcast on Game of Thrones that is reputable. I'm sure there are thousands of Game of Thrones podcasts, but Vanity Fair's came out with a list. It's really good. There's a lot of repeats of who hosts, but their shows are all very different, wildly. I've

watched Game of Thrones from the beginning. I've read almost every Wikipedia page. I've never read the books. I tried to read the first chapter. It's really long and there are so many names. I just don't care. It's just really hard to read the books, but my god, the show, amazing. And I was like, I must be missing things.

And when you get book knowledge in and trying to piece the last threads together, it becomes really fascinating to try to see who's going to end up where and who's going to die next week. And so, yeah, my Game of Thrones obsession has kicked truly into high gear. It's a problem yeah so you you said uh before we started recording that you are researching for a death pool because uh you know this is the the battle of winterfell is coming uh this coming weekend yeah uh so this is the episode where people think a lot of our fan favorites are going to die yes and so you you said you're you're involved in a death pool who do you who is your money on uh okay so brienne's story wrapped up so beautifully last episode by finally getting knighted and the show really likes to like hit us at the knees however there are plenty of

times i thought sam was gonna die for similar reasons or i'm like oh he learned he like could be a mason right now he's out in the forest and he betrayed his you know uh his code of ethics for the uh to be a knight of the wall and so now maybe he'll die because the gods are angry but they weren't he's still kicking he's still rising so yeah it's hard to say for sure i think if i was an actual betting person i would say brienne's dead i would say that little little girl who's supposed to remind us of Shireen, she gone. She was like, I'm going to defend the wall for my cousin, because my brothers were warriors, and now they're gone,

so I'm going to do it. And yeah, she's gone. Lyanna Mormont, the adorable girl who's also a fierce warrior and a great leader of her people, gone, dead. That's going to suck. I'm not ready for it. Yeah, they just kind of skipped over her real quick. She was like, I am going to fight. It's like, that was not ready for it yeah they just kind of skipped over her real quick she was like I am going to fight

it's like that was not enough story for you to not be about to die and my biggest like guess is that I think

once the fighting is done Daenerys is gonna try to stab Jon or something oh yeah that look of betrayal on her face

at the end of the last episode was just like I gotta kill somebody else now like I wasn't prepared to do it but I will kill all my lovers if it means i'm gonna get to this throne i've been saying i think daenerys is gonna die this season uh yeah this being the last season what a prediction but uh yeah i and i think it might have something to do with her dragons cersei is gonna be queen of the ashes and i cannot wait it's's going to be so good. Here's my question. Do the dragons talk? No.

Well, then I'm not going to watch. They do rap, though. They do rap. Okay, well, if they sing, I'll watch it. They have very communicative eyes, though. They're saying a lot here. The thing with Sam, who I've said from the start, Arya and Sam are the two people I just don't want to die, but I think Sam might have fucked himself last week

by bragging about how he never gets killed because he has survived a lot of shit, but it's been mostly via just luck. And so I don't know if Game of Thrones believes in fate and luck. So it'll be interesting to see. But he was like, what are you talking about? Go down in the crypt. I'm a badass.

He was like, okay. You guys need me up here. He kind of stumbled your way through. Although they might need him in the crypt. How did Jon forget that what the Night King does is raise dead people? That is the question. He saw an entire island get back up.

That's not okay. My question to that is, won't the bodies be so badly decomposed that they won't be able to do anything? How many bodies are down there? How decomposed are they? Yeah, that is the question. Someone's like, Ned's going to get up and stab John.

I was like, Ned was decapitated and his bones boiled. There ain't nothing to get up. That's done. Who else is in the kind of lead other than Brienne in the death pools? Other than the kids, I would say Grey Worm probably. He and Missandei have that like dope kiss at the end

where you were like, and they made plans for the future, which I was like, death, it's coming for you. Never make plans. It's not good. Also, Arya being very eager. Okay, so like,

one of the Stark kids could die. Like what would be more devastating to the fan base but then to lose one of the Stark kids now after all of this? Yeah. Jaime. Jaime could definitely die. Because he's fighting for Brienne. But I just don't think it's going to happen.

Jaime. Story-wise, I don't think so though because we don't have a conclusion with him and Cersei yet and I'm not done with it. Yeah. I need a final boof. A final boof. Yeah.

The thing we're all looking for in this life. Just one last one. You always think it's a final boof, but it never is. The one thing that's making me think Arya might not die is because she was so sure it would be her first and final boof. But it did not end up being that because she was people who are like certain they're going to die like john uh you know they probably won't die damn crown john right it's yours fucking put it on god damn um all right and also i want to say underrated way of researching things just search it in the podcast app whatever podcast app you

like and just listening to random podcasts there's usually some good shit about whatever you're trying to find out about people interview experts all the time on these here podcasts what is something you think is overrated anybody else who decides to run for president okay overrated stop besides biden who you're in favor of. Wait, except for, did Abrams ever officially announce?

She said she was running for something and then Stacey. She has not announced. Yeah, unless Stacey Abrams decides to run, everybody else is overrated.

Everybody else can shut the fuck up. Stop it. We're done. So Biden announced, and we'll get into him a little bit more later on, but he is the 20th candidate

uh in the race for 2020 there seems to be some good symmetry there um i do feel like that is a good okay this is it like yeah no no more we're done right yeah like less stacy i'm supposed to run in which case help us save us as a people yeah Yeah. I mean, this seemed like inevitable for so long that I was almost relieved when it was just finally announced. I mean, the only bigger relief would be if he decided not to run, but that didn't seem likely. I love when someone old just has to give it one last shot at the expense of everyone's mental health.

It's the plot of a lot of movies. Pull me in one last run. Yeah, but in those movies, it's made to look like a noble thing to do, not ego-driven. Right. Well, he needs to save America from the Nazis. Oh, he had so many opportunities to do that previously, and you didn't. Sit down. uh the nazis oh he had so many opportunities to do that previously and you didn't sit down i mean listen i i love a joe biden savage moments reel but that does not a president make

is there a good joe biden savage moments well there's like a million as as a scholar of savage moments reels on youtube um joe biden i mean he's got so many gaffes. Right, right. There's a feature length Savage Moments reel of him just saying fuck. And we love that about him. What is something you think is underrated? Fandom in general.

I feel like a lot of people clown on both Game of Thrones and Avengers fandoms and just being like, are you guys really crying at this? Like, have you seen the world? Like, shut up. Like, don't talk to me. Don't like if you there's such a great power in fandom to not just bring people together, but for people to see certain aspects of their stories never told and then to watch Super

Hero. Like, there are just so many great moments in both. You just I don't know my fandoms. Okay. So game of Thrones, like every Sunday, my college friends and I have gotten together since we started college 2008. Yeah.

We've been on this ride every Sunday for game of Thrones. We've done the rewatches together. We have like group chats based around it. Like it's a thing that keeps us as we drift and start doing our own things and having families or whatever. It keeps us grounded and together. And I think that's beautiful. And the same thing can be said for, like, really the entire spectrum of comic book love and fandom.

And, like, I understand that there are elements of it that are toxic. I understand that it's not for everybody. Some people are like, I don't know what's happening in the 20th movie. And I've seen all the others. There's so many things. Like, it's not everyone's cup of tea. But for those of us who, like, love it and jive on it and connect for it, it is a truly grounding,

almost church-like experience that doesn't require me to, you know, believe in anything really other than like, let's just watch these stories and talk about them. And I think there's something

really beautiful and peaceful about it and I wish people would stop hating on it. It's frustrating. I feel like it's, and it's like the sort of thing where there's like certain franchises that like with my family, no matter where we're at, like even if we're at each other's fucking throats, like we would go to see the Harry Potter movie, you know, like we would go to just because that's what you do. It's a moment to lay down your weapons and watch some rich people fight.

Wait, you don't bring your weapons into the Harry Potter movies? There was a situation in my hometown movie theater where someone got stabbed in the foot during School of Rock. Wait a minute, what? It was crazy. That's such a left turn.

At School of Rock? At School of Rock. Not even a franchise, what's the point? But there was, it was just like, in my hometown, there was like, the movie theater was on just like i in my hometown there was like the

movie theater was on thin ice for whatever reason but then like the whole incident at school of rock that was the final straw movie theater shut down it was wild stabbed with a knife this would have been yeah and the story i mean i'm remembering this from being like 10 at the time but as i recall it was that because we were like going to a screening right after and then it got canceled because there was too much blood at the school of rock theater but i guess that someone put their foot up on the seat behind someone who had a knife with them yeah and it was an act of rage and uh they got you know stabbed everyone everyone was fine in the end but you know don't put your feet on someone's seat or you're going to get your foot stabbed.

Were you in a small town? Was this a small town theater? No, this was just like a southern Massachusetts. It just happens. I just like the idea of the theater being on thin ice. The community was mad. That's true. You know what?

That's it. This is not a safe space. I come from a small town. I came from a town of 19,000. Our theater had moments like that where people were like, what movies are you showing? Inappropriate for the children. No, we don't like it. Misbehaving.

Yeah. Shut it down. But then Jamie, the theater was going to be shut down. But then Jamie and her friends did a dance routine that saved the community theater. We started our own school of rock. Raised money. And did it. School of rock.

Man, that movie holds up. I love that movie. I haven't seen it since it first came out. It's a classic. Finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true that you know to be false? Three hours is not too long for a movie. All right.

Hot take. I love an epic, like, listen, Amadeus, amazing movie. What is it? it oh my gosh brad pitt movie where he goes to thailand joe plaid is that one no but also valuable film with three hours of your time one of their most valuable but brad pitt does a jamaican accent just for and it's so terrible and so good yeah i just discovered that or rediscovered it oh you watched the car crash i had always seen the car crash uh and always thought that was uh the limits of what meet joe black had to offer me 10 minutes baby i just remember that it came on two vhs's which you're like oh this is gonna be a journey be a journey. Right. Yeah. Two VHSs.

That is, there are those movies that, Titanic was two VHSs. Yeah. My mom would only let me watch the first tape of Titanic and would be like, great movie, right? Like, we just wouldn't watch the part where they died. Really? Yeah. Real revisionist. Oh, yeah, that's true.

You've talked about that. The Titanic sinking. Where does the first VHS end? The VHS ends when they hit the iceberg. Oh, as they hit the iceberg. Yeah, it ends. What a cliffhanger. It ends with, you know the part where the captain turns and says,

Mr. Murdoch, I think you may get your headlines. And then it ends, and then my mom would be like, good night. So she really owned the captain there. The captain really owned him you get the sex scene you get the sketch you do get most of the good scenes in the movie you just don't get that guy hitting the propeller

oh my god the flipping guy you get a lot of Billy Zane hairpiece service yeah there's a lot of good three hour movies I feel like The Godfathers were on two different movies. The God's Father. The God's Father.

And you said that end game, every minute feels earned. Yeah. I tried to think afterwards about where I would cut or what scene. And I'm sure upon like a second and third review, I might be able to find some things. But initially, I couldn't tell you like where to leave to take a bathroom break I couldn't tell you like what we're like you know hop up no every every moment I would be like well something's gonna happen in a few minutes it's kind of vital to the end of this film right right um all right guys let's get on to important news is Will cheating

on Kate yes okay Jamie you wrote this headline as fuck Brexit is Will cheating on kate yes okay jamie you wrote this headline as fuck brexit is will cheating on kate okay there's a lot there's already like some attempts i think from within the royal family to spin this william is on uh some sort of press tour right now to like draw attention away i'm just gonna share a thread from a writer i really like nicole cliff yes nicole yeah who is very who has really uh really thought this story all the way through so basically of course you know prince william he's from a cursed family which i love i love a cursed family and you know like all he has to do is not cheat on his wife to break the curse. Right.

Turns out he cheated on his wife. Here is the story. OK, so I'm quoting Nicole Cliff here. So last week, the son ran a very odd piece about how Kate and Wills had broken up with their couple best friends, the Cholmondelies. Oh, boy. It's pronounced Chumlee. Oh, really? That is wild. Yeah it looks like a five syllable name but it's a two syllable name. The piece included the phrase rural rival which was

the only indication that there was a real story here. The Chumleys are Rose a former model and Rose's husband much older very rich very appropriate to be friends with the Cambridges. Wills and Kate flipped and the sun got one of those more serious warnings. There's no story here. Back the fuck off. As the story begins to spool out, and we were talking about it before, it's been mostly on US media to cover this story

because UK media needs to stay in the good graces of the palace or they can't cover anything anymore. Oh, interesting. So they send out the little tea-dumping weasels to get the story for them. So that Will was caught having an actual affair with Rose and Kate severed the social connection with more verve than is her usual style. Giles Corrin tweeted and deleted how impish that the affair had been common news for months if you were a fancy person.

The source for the story is widely supposed to be Rose running her mouth about it to her friends. So basically, William is cheating on Kate with one of their friends who's married to some old guy. Right. Which seems to be how rich people roll based on... That's literally how my parents' marriage ended and they have $4. You just don't fuck each other's friends. Wait, they cheated on each other's friends?

With each other's friends? I'm really putting him on blast right now. It was in 1994. But yeah, people just fuck each other's friends and then you have unhappy children. Yeah, that's what happens the Jeff Bezos thing was like he was sleeping with that dudes Wife while he was like staying at their house like as a friend Yeah, it was very I don't know shady and then then they were at a party together, him and his new girlfriend, with the ex-husband.

And they were photographed together just being like, hey, we're rich. We don't care. It's just, I don't know. So that's the prevalent theory. It seems to be increasingly well-sourced. It's really hard for UK reporters to report on it. well sourced it's really hard for uk reporters to report on it uh there's another like much like the bezos scandal i think just from the few pictures i've seen that rose and kate look so similar that it's like why do this he has a type just like just like bezos the woman he cheated on

his wife with was a doppelganger like a dead ringer for his wife. Oh, really? It's not about the women. It's about the numbers and the younger and the better. Or I personally think like a psychopathic need to conquer and be like, I got your wife. And be like, it didn't really matter because I didn't value her as a person anyway. You basically stole my trophy and we're going to make more money tomorrow. Who cares? They're the worst. The main question is, are we all doomed to become our parents?

Right. Or. I mean, he literally looks like he was doomed by some manner of curse to become his father. Because there was like a point where he was considered very handsome. And then like it just flipped and he turned into, it was like he morphed into his father, like that scene in Thriller where Michael Jackson becomes a werewolf. It was just, like, his ears started growing out and, like, his hair started falling out. It was very sudden. I mean, it happened, like, right around the time he started to assume more of his responsibilities, I think.

Which is probably when, according tole and some of the others uh that are reporting on this like he's been cheating on her since they first got together this was kind of always his like wait is that part of the responsibilities with this now you must cheat after charles yeah it just sort of became part of the job i just feel like this is so much more of a a betrayal for because people follow the royal. You don't really serve any other purpose than to sort of be cannon fodder slash entertainment for, like, citizens, right? So, like, your dad, when he cheated on your mom, there was, like, some – like, he married Camille. Like, the one he was cheating with, like, he was in love. And, like, the crown wouldn't let you be with the person you wanted to be with.

You had to marry, like, the right person. Right. Dope. We scrapped all that now. You could just marry pretty much whoever. Like they're pretty cool with it. Just like talk to us. We'll get the media trained.

They'll cut off whatever their former resources were. I won't let them like be in the palace. It's fine. So if you didn't really want this girl, you could have just left her alone. We like Kate now. We've grown accustomed to her. Exactly. She's like cute.

She's your high school sweetheart. So for him to just be like I don't really care. I'm going to thrash you into the spotlight and then destroy you because even then no one's going to blame him. It's definitely going to be her fault. It's kind of bullshit and it's frustrating. I do. I mean it's like every time a story like this comes up there's always like the

edgelords who dive into your mentions and are like who cares? It's like I've been trying to where I think with the 2016 election, I got too sucked in, and I think a lot of people got too sucked in to politics as drama and viewing it as these are my stories

and not going to affect everyone I know. So now I cling to the royal family. Right, because they legitimately don't matter. They literally, nothing they do matters. And it's where I can get that hit. Yeah. I don't care what they think about a damn thing. I just want to know who's having sex with who.

I want my stories. Yeah. This is a great development in my stories. And it's not just gossip magazines, guys. Scientists, specifically body language scientists, are thinking that there's a frostiness has entered their sort of physical relations to one another in public. It's not just that they're British, right? So yeah, I mean, it's as good as done, as far as I'm concerned.

Wild. All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be back with less important news definitely caruana galizia was a maltese investigative journalist who on october 16th 2017 was murdered there are crooks everywhere you look now.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day,

and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically Black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.

I ain't really in here to let me waste. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black.

I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. hot jams yet. It would have been amazing if he came out like that high energy. Like a sleeveless shirt.

It would have been better because now he doesn't look so old. Right. I mean, he was specifically and immediately called out by President Trump as Sleepy Joe Biden. Damn it, Trump, no! One of his

less good burns. Right because he's always a dwarf he always calls people sleepy uh like he called chuck todd sleepy eyes chuck todd which is a more specific and accurate uh business talking about anyone's eyes how dare you yeah yeah although biden's eyes are like little coin slots um but anyways joe biden has entered the race with an eight point lead over trump and you know i think he's got like a six point lead over bernie in polls and then they both have like a 10 to 15 point lead over the rest of the field so it's bernie battle of the white hairs battle of the whites uh who's being pulled i have questions it's supposedly likely can we talk so yes these are not scientific there does seem to be a consistent polling of biden and bernie

out in front of the crowd but there was a shocking poll two weeks ago that had Bernie ahead of Biden, now Biden ahead of Bernie. But it does seem like, and it might just be name recognition, because he was the vice president. And, you know, people are nostalgic, especially people who aren't voting for trump are nostalgic for you know four years ago just yeah the obama administration in general yeah um but i think there's this additional thing with racism and sexism disguised behind the word of electability and we've kind of kind of briefly touched on it but now that you know the top four candidates in the field seem to be white guys with like beto bernie uh biden and buddha judge all b's for some reason it just seems like b boys

i hope they dance but and then drop out of the race. Oh, I thought you were quoting Faith Hill. I was going to say. Two Faith Hills songs. But you hope they do like a b-boy dance. I hope that they do a b-boy dance. That I would tune into. I would click.

And it would also make them way less popular. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Beto o'rourke tries to break dance at something he is lawless skateboard falls off the skateboard but goes directly into a break dance yeah yeah he like hops from a skateboard onto a lime scooter does a little flip and then starts to break dance um bart simpson hello fellow kids yeah but so so the 538 article came out that was talking about electability being like people are ranking it like likely Democratic or just undecided voters are ranking electability as very important, like a very important factor when deciding on a candidate. But the problem is like everybody has their own definition of electability. And I think people are being heavily influenced by just 2016 and the fact that Hillary was now people, the media is like, ah, she wasn't electable, which Donald Trump was. Crazy bullshit. She won. I just don't understand how you'd be like, she was electable, but she had like 3 million more votes. So she was electable uh which donald trump was crazy bullshit she won i just don't understand how you

like she was electable but she had like three million more votes so she was electable our electoral system is just broken right we're talking about two completely different she was electable and arguably and elected in some ways yeah i mean it relies on the casual voters ability to sniff out who the rest of the people in the country are going to vote for which so it's not just a personal bias it adds into the calculation the average voters sense of what other people's personal biases are which is how like hollywood managed to like hold people of color and women out of the industry for so long and you know continue to but like there are those movies right nobody else is gonna see them it just feels

like gaslighting yeah i'm just like no one will vote for them no one wants to see them blah blah and then when you do like they win in movies and i mean even before we knew the consequences of this like when Obama was first like is the world ready for a black president I'm like well there have been many black presidents all over the world we just haven't had anyone here yet it'll happen like you would just let it and even the way that

like question is constantly phrased is like conditioning you to feel a certain way like it's not saying like you know it's like are we ready like I feel like that just implies hesitance and you should think twice. Or that there's an appropriate time for these things to happen.

It's not time yet. Hold on and just wait and we'll get around to you women. Like, no. No thanks. There were a couple polls that asked who your first choice was out of the Democratic field and then who you thought has the best chance to see what people's judgment of electability was. And the only people who came out ahead were Joe Biden and Beto O'Rourke.

And then Bernie Sanders was like a minus point five. And then Bernie Sanders was like a minus 0.5. But Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren were like minus 5%, minus 3% when it came to people liking them as their first choice but thinking they didn't have the best chance. And Pete Buttigieg also had a big bias against his electability. Right. I mean, I hate that we have to talk about this now it's right so it's uh but but but you know like as things stand it's it sucks that i mean and there's been so many editorial pieces to this end of just like how the numbers are already reflecting that like qualified women are just not going to be held up right to the same degree that like i mean feel however you like about mayor pete but like he he is not he doesn't

have the experience that um that that harris or warren has and yet he's polling above them like way above them right and you know they're it's just, I don't know, it's discouraging. And I don't know, someone else talk. I mean, Elizabeth Warren is really like the epitome of this because she has put out all of these policies that if you just like ask people to take a blind taste test, like it seems like they're all really well thought out. When people hear the details of them, people are like, oh, yeah, that's actually really smart. They have financial backing and plans. Exactly.

And she is just not getting, picking up any traction because I think people just associate her with Hillary and people are like, oh, she's not electable. I heard a theory that her campaign is waiting, like holding back until the American people are more ready to vote. This is such a far out. I feel like many of these candidates are going to be so burned out by the time we get down to November that it might be a smart play for her to just be like, smart people, here are my ideas.

You guys be my voice. Tell your friends. Get excited about it. Fight for me on a ground level. And then when we're ready to go into press and it's actually time to start thinking about who you're actually going to vote for, then she'll unroll her maybe more polished, zany approach.

I don't know. Right. Like her. She's going to drop the viral video. Exactly. She'll do her cute little spots with the kids and, you know, maybe a cute karaoke thing or something. She'll hire Tim and Eric to do some spots. Who's getting that promo?

Like Warren is releasing policies and that is so much more than most candidates can say. And that to me just like, I mean, it is so early and it's not to say that the other candidates won't release policies, but the fact that she has them locked and loaded like indicates preparation, indicates like that this is well thought out and it's not just like,

you know, I think I should be president. Right. And then you like backwards engineer from there. I mean, there's still candidates out there saying like, you know, policy, that's like the little stuff. It's like, no, that's literally everything. And yeah. Yeah. And Bernie is the other candidate who's releasing policies.

But he's not seeing any of this unelectable stuff like backlash because he's a socialist from Vermont who would be the oldest person ever elected president so why would he be deemed unelectable what about him is unusual I just I'm all for people uh running with policy I mean any candidate is going to have an ego that is freaky that is just like kind of the nature of running for office is you have to have some sort but like you know be do your fucking homework dummy dumb dumb

alright let's talk we can skip over the Mueller report I mean the more takes and analyses of the Mueller report I hear the more people are like oh it is like more damning than all the reporting thought it was going to be. It's like really bad. The Russia collusion thing, he clearly benefited from Russia interfering in the election. They interfered more than we all realized they did.

And he clearly committed obstruction of justice. And he clearly committed obstruction of justice. And his approval rating started falling last week when the report first came out. But they've now hit a bottom and bounced back up in it. The fall was not very long. So it seems like, I don't know, I had a moment of hope that this was going to be like nixon when you when you think back on nixon and watergate there was a long period uh that people kind of leave out of the history of that where america was like oh we don't care about watergate like get over it that's just democrats being sore losers and then people finally got it when like i think it was televised intelligence congressional testimony

that like turned everybody and suddenly he went from like you know 50 approval to like 15 approval and i was wondering if this was going to be that and uh my update is it is not uh our country is not that anymore do you think that that will be like a permanent thing, though? Like you think there's no chance? Yeah, I think if this doesn't do it, like it is the most clearly unpatriotic, like just violating everything that Republicans and conservatives claim to stand for. So if this doesn't deflate his approval, it seems impossible that anything else could. I just think the way that that story is reported on was very interesting. And it's like I think Mueller did all the due diligence that he had to do to report it cleanly and honestly but like if i asked my

family at home like they're liberal and they think that the muller report you know like failed to some extent because it didn't do what people were hoping people who who are not pro-trump were hoping it would do and so i feel like there there are the nuances of the report like are so revealing and say you know like make it pretty clear that a lot of fuckery has gone on and has been going on but it didn't accomplish the goal everyone was hoping for and so I feel like it ended up it just I don't know the way it was reported on there is so much nuance available but if you're like an everyday news consumer I feel like it might seem like the report just didn't do what it was supposed to.

And so why continue learning about it? I think we also don't know a lot about the steps and ways in which the Mueller report can have action. Right. How it can be used actionably. And because we are a lot of people don't feel involved or invested in their government on a local level or even on a national level, it's confusing. Until they're like, oh, and now we're going into trials, people don't get excited or understand kind of what's happening.

And so I definitely see the same thing of people being like, we didn't really do much. There's no trial happening. Our Congress doesn't seem to be up in arms about it. Right, yeah. I mean, maybe Mueller's testimony will make it plain when he's there. Like if he wasn't president, would you charge him with obstruction of justice? Yeah.

Maybe like something that's that much more visual and like TV friendly. Like, yes, somehow more TV friendly than a 400 something page report. I don't know how you do that. But I think you're right no one wants to read a book i i think you're right though that it because like so the smart take on like a lot of like political podcasts and like on like nate silver and this uh national security podcast i listen to because i'm a fun time uh like everyone was like, the bar framing or attempt to spin the report failed. But it only failed with, like, people who are really paying close attention.

With a lot of people, I think you're right. I think a lot of people don't know who Bar is. Right. And they're just like, the no collusion thing came out first. So they're just like, yeah, there was no collusion, and that's it. Yeah. He, like, got out in front of it and it has successfully framed it even if when you're not paying even if when you're paying attention

it's clear that he it makes him look like a blatant liar um the the weird thing is it's like i i completely like respect the way that muller it. It seems like everything was done responsibly. But it's so nuanced, and the way people consume news is, especially now, so completely un-nuanced that it's like, unless there's some sort of event involved, whether that be Watergate hearings or the Kavanaugh hearings, that's an event and everyone is, you know, there's participation and it's very dark. But people at least, you know, if the Kavanaugh thing was published in book form, who the fuck would know about it? Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Rats. Foiled again. Somebody needs to get on TV and scream red-faced at somebody. Everyone stop writing books. No one's going to read a book. I think we just need better PR people. I mean, all accounts report that Trump wasn't even expecting to win.

It was like a great PR stunt for me and my company. It'll just get a lot of eyes on me. And then he's like, oh, crap, I'm president now. I honestly think he just keeps winning by mistake. I really just feel like he's like well i just know how to put a positive spin on things that'll get my base to just solidify and i feel like uh we don't really we don't really have that we're we're all like no but like policy and rules and somebody's like you can't be a cheater by just playing by the rules like if the rules don't matter to them at all like how are we possibly going to compete with that?

And I don't think the answer is to, to not play by the rules yourself. I think it's just to out do their game. And he's just really, really good at making sure his base knows like where he stands and what they should believe. And they're not interested in researching beyond that. He's truly like the world's best shit poster.

Yes. And Dems don't know how to shit post. It's very Uncanny Valley. He is the best at being a dumb person in the world. He just speaks dumb person and is a dumb person, but does it in a very effective way. Makes it look effortless. Right. It's true.

Somehow. All right, real quick. Is Netflix killing America's sex drive? No. No. Okay, good. That's all killing America's sex drive? No. No. Okay, good. That's all. There was a story that got a lot of coverage because it just has the right combination of words, Netflix and sex, basically.

People are watching so much streaming on Netflix and their programming is so good that Netflix is to blame for the low rate of sex in America. Because that's something that like sociologists and people who study American lives have been, you know, puzzling over because it gets a lot of headlines uh the question of why americans today are having less sex than they did in decades past and we're also having fewer kids there's just like no reason to be horny in this country right now there's so few reasons to be horny women are just like time's up on all of it all the dicks away please yeah that's such an interesting uh well i mean i guess it's not a surprising culprit because it's an easy culprit to just be like yeah people aren't fucking because they're watching tv they're like tv's been around for 50 years it's been running on a 24-hour cycle for gosh near 40 years now it's been a long if we look at 50 closer to 60 or 70 years now.

And we've had 24 hour TV since like the mid 80s since we had, so our cable came out. So no, we're all fine. Netflix programming can be good.

I'm not going to call it so great at stopping people from intercourse. That's weird. I've never let, yeah, I've never let an episode of Grace and Frankie

stop me. Grace and Frankie wants you to have good sex. Grace and Frankie, if anything, is a very horny show. Gets you in the mood. I love, man, make my own charcuterie board at my house, watch Grace and Frankie. They taught me all about sex toys for the elderly, and I didn't know, and now I'm informed. I love it.

Aware. I love that show. This is viral marketing for Grace and Frank, just so everyone's aware. But two things that made me question the study. One is that the scientist behind it is the same scientist who a couple months ago was talking about how Generation Z is like headed for the worst mental health like crisis ever because of social media so she seems to be like one of those people who is like the sky is falling because of the latest technology and that's generally a bad bet if you look through history this is one of those things

that gets written out of history but there's always always always a freak out about new technology yeah you know they there were great horror movies, always a freak out about new technology. Yeah. You know, there were. Some great horror movies. Yeah. There were freak outs about written music. When they started writing music, they were like, now everybody's going to be able to steal my sonnets and steal my symphonies. And they were like really busy about that. So like just any sort of media or technology is going to freak people out.

about that so like just any sort of media or technology is going to freak people out i do think i feel like corporations and uh people who are trying to addict us to like little skinner boxes are like better at reaching us now than they ever have been i just think it's weird to call out netflix because that is the one medium that we do together as couples a lot of the time. So it's like, why would that be the one keeping us? I think a lot of mobile games and social media on mobile phones, our phones are definitely solitary devices. But Netflix and TV shows we watch.

There's an entire phrase around getting it on and watching Netflix. It seems like the weirdest place to start the attack yeah wait what is it netflix and chill that's what that yeah so i don't know well we'll see it's all uh who the fuck knows why people are having less sex whatever sex is boring sex is boring. Sex is boring. Yeah. That is my main conclusion. Sex is not as good as the stuff we have now. And it's boring.

And that's why people used to have so much of it. Guaranteed satisfaction. Right. Yeah. Like there are some things I know deliver more consistently. There you go. All right. We're going to take another quick break

and we'll be right back Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered there are crooks everywhere you look now the situation is desperate

And the Avengers Endgame is upon us. And we're thrilled to have someone with us, Joelle, who has seen it. You are also just an expert on all things kind of nerdy nerd culture. Um, and yeah, the thing that was being covered yesterday, I guess, is that people were like telling people when to take bathroom breaks during the

movie. and that was the way people found an excuse to have an Avengers headline. Uh, but we have to have an Avengers headline. But we have to write or we die. Please read our articles. What are your overall your thoughts are? Yeah. OK.

Without spoilers. We're not doing spoilers. Without spoilers. No spoilers. I promise. I will say the as a fan of Marvel obviously came came in with some really high expectations, left feeling pretty satisfied. I have a couple of questions of, how is that possible? But nothing I don't think the fandom won't be able to clear up for me in, like, three hours on Sunday morning. I feel like Sunday morning I'm going to be on the Twitters and they're going to be spelling out for me like,

no, when this happened, you know how that, okay, and then I'll be clear. Is it that Thor's hammer? Like how is that possible? It's not. No, it's nothing. It's nothing magical. It's nothing powers related. No, no, no, no.

I've suspended disbelief as much as I need to. We're not going into anything like that. Right. I can't talk about it because what I love about the movie and I'll tell people who've watched the trailers who've been like looking at it, a lot of people are like,

they're going to tell the whole movie. They keep releasing new trailers. You still, still have nothing, anything past the first 25 minutes of the movie. Oh, wow.

You have no idea what's happening. There's nothing I could have guessed based off what I've seen that brought me to the outcome or even to what happens at Mark 30. Nothing.

I will say that the deaths feel earned. You won't feel like slapped or punched in the gut by anything. Um, you know, there are three moments that comic book fans, if you are a Marvel fan and you liked what they've been doing, but have had some questions about what they've been doing lately, you're gonna lose your mind because they bring it into the movie, but they update it in such a way that says, we heard you and we want you to still feel included. And I won't tell you what those moments are, but I used a whole pack of tissues. I used an entire pack of tissues. They're beautiful, really great peak moments for me.

One in particular got in my – maybe half my audience stood up. It was amazing. Score is still there. Storyline is great. It is super fun. I will say if you are a Game of Thrones fan and you watched last week's episode. It's written very similarly. It's much more of a character-driven story than Infinity War, which is all about battles and we're seeing all these people fight together or against each other for the first time.

That's really cool. This is all about where have these characters come after 22 films? What do their stories mean now that they are together and they're all aware of each other? What does it mean to be a team and how are they going to continue to fight as a team, particularly looking post-Civil War? So does Spider-Man lose his virginity before he knows he's about to? Are the webs calm? It's still a Disney movie. Yeah, no.

Still a Disney movie. Yeah, no. Yeah, this is a big weekend with the battle for Winterfell and Endgame. A lot of people are going to lose a lot of people. It's going to be emotional. A lot of characters. It could be a landmark week for Twitter. If you're a Twitter person, I live there.

I'm really looking forward to the discourse and the conversation and all that Jeff I just read the whole plot and I truly can make heads or tails of it and I spoiled the whole movie for myself I was like well yeah sounds great I will say that too if you even I talked to a couple people who have seen all of the movies and walked out of this like

wait what happened it is for the fans. So grandma might come out with a lot of questions, just be prepared to answer them or fake them as best you can. Okay. We just released, hot plug, we just released an episode of the Bechdel cast about the first Avengers.

The first Avengers. So you're caught up to that point. That is the one I've seen. And it does, I seen. It's always encouraging when it seems like the franchise is listening to fans. I feel like that never happens. That's great.

Marvel and Disney care a lot about what you guys think as evidence of Star Wars. Maybe too much. Sometimes, maybe. I'm looking forward to their Disney Plus TV series where I think they'll be able to care a little less and be more like, these are the auteurs and we're just letting them do what they want to do.

Right. Right. Yeah, that'll be interesting. The point you were just making about Twitter being where you live and you're looking forward to it. being where you live and you're looking forward to it. Just a detail from that sex article that I thought was interesting, or it was a reaction to the sex article. Sorry, back to the sex article.

No, it was just somebody wrote an entire book reviewing evidence that technology may be amplifying our intelligence, our productivity, and our ambient awareness of each other's worlds. And you just never hear that. Nobody's ever like, actually, smartphones are good for you. Twitter is good. It makes you more aware of other people and what they thought about stuff.

I've been working on a theory about people keep saying like, oh, neighborhoods have died. And I don't know any of my neighbors. Right. I can place them by face, but I don't know their names or their stories. But I have entire online communities where I know very detailed information about people's lives or their work lives. I just feel like we've replaced the

I don't need to go to my next door neighbor. I have an entire community online I can go connect with if I need. We've helped each other through financial and medical scares, through deaths. Depression and anxiety are talked about a lot. I think that there's a lot of value that hasn't been explored in those communities.

Yeah, absolutely. Just new kinds of neighborhoods. It's nice. And knowing your neighbors? Overrated. Because sometimes they suck. And then you are stuck living in direct vicinity i'm friends with one of my neighbors yeah um and she because she works with hayley

joel osment and so i'll just text her and be like what's he doing that's my only neighbor relationship i have a relationship i've ever heard about i just need updates on other than that you don't need to know anything about me i don't need to know anything about you That's the best neighbor relationship I've ever heard about. I just need updates on Angel Osmond. Other than that, you don't need to know anything about me. I don't need to know anything about you. Just like, what's he up to? Is he okay? I love him and his little sister.

Adorable humans. What a great, what a dynasty. You know, he was discovered at a park. Like he wasn't even a child actor. He was just some creep booking agent. Every child star discovery sounds like, oh, that was almost

a crime. I was just at the mall by myself and I saw this kid and I was like, I'd watch that kid. You're like, no! What is going on? He was five at a park and somebody walked up to his mom and was like, your kid needs to be in this Pizza Hut commercial.

And she was like, all right. And then the next thing he was in was Forrest Gump. Oops. But Avengers Endgame is a spoiler. Sorry. Hailey Chalas is in Forrest Gump. Major Avengers spoiler. He is actually Thanos.

I forgot that the russo brothers directed you me and dupree oh yeah i wish that was in like the trailer for all the avengers movies from the team that brought you yeah but avengers endgame sitting at a 78acritic, which is a highly respectable score. Oh, and also speaking of entire packs of tissues, Miles on yesterday's episode mentioned a new Netflix sketch comedy show called I Think You Should Leave. Tim Robbins. Yeah, it's so good. I watched it on my flight back from my hot Birkenstock get and was laughing so hard that people on the flight thought I was weeping because I was trying to keep it quiet.

And I also had a really bad runny nose from laughing so hard. I've never had that before. It made me laugh so hard. But people should check that out if they. It makes me so like, I just, I love that Netflix is finally being like, no,

you know what? We should like make shows that are a little bit shorter. And like, that is like such a good move. Oh, it's so good. That's also another thing. Wasn't it so special? Yeah.

12 to 15 minute episodes. And I love, I love that they're adapting the like youtube format of short form right it's really interesting it like it it works like they're getting giving everyone a blank check is like how you get the last seasons of arrested development right he's getting miss yeah all right there's james bond news everyone uh cool i didn't even see the last james bond i have i believe it i've seen one i feel like i don't i don't know shit about shit yeah james bond was not so hot wasn't it no because it kind of back into the first one that daniel craig did but you were just like oh we already did this and i'm

kind of bored right that's part was like the mexico scene like everything that happened to mexico was beautifully shot in like fun action and then after that you're like I don't care anymore. Is this the last one with Daniel Craig? Well the last one was the last one with Daniel Craig. So they're announcing the new Bond. But the last one was supposed

to be the last one with Daniel Craig and then they were like we're going to make it so all of your great grandchildren can go to whatever college they want to. Will you just please come back and be James Bond? He is a great James Bond, which I think is what's been frustrating about the last film. It's like, you have an excellent Bond here. Let's do something cool.

Bring me a dope villain. Remember when it was controversial that he was the new Bond because he had blonde hair? People did not think he was sexy enough to play a Bond. What? Until they saw the switch suit. The switch suit made a believer out of me. I was like, I don't see it for this Daniel Craig person. I don't know who he is.

I've never seen anything he's done. I'm not here for it. We had just come off the Madonna era of james bond which was so bad um i thought maybe the die another day yeah bury it let it rest it's okay uh and then casino royale came out and i was like damn this is fire yeah it was really good but the fact that a blonde james bond was a controversy is like seems like a very particular moment in history that will never be in again

like a moment of innocence we can only hope right shit well so the update on the last

James Bond featuring that particular blonde man is that Rami Malek is in it as a villain I'm assuming

yes yes will he wear a hoodie yes or no uh that would be i hope he's a tech billionaire evil genius i wonder if he's gonna do weird stuff with his mouth remy's up yeah well now i mean at this point lean in baby yeah people got eyes on the malik him love. Was that a big thing after the Oscars? I don't know. I heard it a couple of times.

And then everyone made fun of his fake teeth. Yeah. There's been a lot of press around the Malick mouth. That's true. Yeah. And also Phoebe Waller-Bridge is punching up the movie, the script, which is pretty dope.

It's going to be amazing. Joelle, it has been so fun having you. It was really wonderful to be here. Thanks for having me. Where can people find you? Yes, go on the Twitters or the Instagrams everywhere, at Joelle Monique. On Instagram, there's an underscore between the two names. It doesn't matter.

You can find me either way. I'm going to be over at the Blumhouse podcast, Queer Wolf, for at least the next month. I'm so excited. I love those guys. It's a podcast I listen to regularly anyway. It's super funny. First up, we have one of the producers of Family Guy, and we're going to be talking

about Rosemary's Baby. Yes, which I got to watch twice this week, and I was like, God, this movie is amazing. How did Roman Polanski make this movie? So many questions, but hopefully we answered them. It is very complicated. So feminist by that guy. Weird. You can also

find me, sorry, Recap Madness. It's a podcast I do with my friends where we recap seasons of shows. It's weird. Sometimes we jump in the middle. Sometimes it's the first season, but we're just looking at one season where we encapsulate it. The last one we did was Fox's new show, The Passage. We did all of season one.

It is a weird, wild, amazing show with a terrible cliffhanger. It will never be renewed. You have to watch it. It's so weird. Yeah, that's where you guys can find me. What passage is it referring to? She's turned into a vampire and maybe... I'm just going to spoil it.

In the last five minutes of the final season... Oh, is this the one starring Zack Morris? Yes! The sexiest guy. I thought he was white forever. He's not. I was like, this is such a turn on. But in the last episode, they jump forward 97 years in the future.

Everyone's the same age. It makes no sense. I have no idea how it happened or what's going on. Yeah, that's the last five minutes. Oh, because they're vampires. I want to watch it. Are they or are they? It's a very confusing and weird show, but it's so great.

And I do love Zach, but bring back pitch, Disney. You said he's not white? No, his mother is... I don't remember off the top of my head, but he's definitely not white. His mom, he's half white, half Asian, but I don't remember specifically from what country. Yes, he's half white, half Asian, but I don't remember specifically from what country. Yes, he's gorgeous. All right. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying?

I'm going to just give my girl, Clarkiesh, a shout out. Everything she does is fabulous, but particularly if you like salty Game of Thrones tweets, she retweets slash creates some of the best Game of Thrones stuff. Follow her, like, the night of. She usually waits until after the Pacific airing because she's considerate like that. But then go get your laugh on because I don't know if there's a fandom better. I love

you Game of Thrones people. Right on. Jamie, where can people find you? Hi, you can find me on Twitter.com at Jamie Loftus Help or on Instagram at Jamie Christ Superstar. I've got some tour dates. Can I say them? Yes, please.

Is there a tweet you've been enjoying?

I'm looking for this thread that matches up Cardi B outfits with philosophical texts. What? I can't find, I have faved it for later and now I can't, come back to me

because I want to give the right handle, but it's like, it is an extensive thread where it's just outfits that match covers of philosophy books. Amazing. It's incredible. Amazing.

Dayton tweeted, my favorite childhood memory is my back not hurting. Sean Baby tweeted a scan of a Superman comic with Lois Lane falling on the outside of a like Superman comic with Lois Lane falling, uh, like on the outside of a building,

like falling off a building. And it says, I'm falling to my death. And, uh, it's her thought. And it says, I'm falling to my death and still no sign of Superman who always used to

rescue me in the nick of time. Sob Superman has forsaken me. And Sean, baby said, these are the final thoughts of every single person who dies in Metropolis and in his heart, Superman knows it.

And then an actual human, Rob from online tweeted, mechanic, you use subpar fuel which corroded your injectors and intake manifold. Me, English, bro.

Mechanic, low quality gas damaged your engine. Me, dumb it down for me, Kimo S bro. Mechanic, low quality gas damage your engine. Me, dumb it down for me, Kimo Sabe. Mechanic, bad go-go juice make your vroom-vroom machine all fucky. Me, oh no. That's so great. I love Twitter.
