Fuck it. Even Lisa Murkowski. Let's drag her back into this. By the way, actually put things into the legislation that you wanted and then still voted against it. Yeah. Thanks, Lisa. I'm Jack. That's Miles. Oh, Lisa. I'm Jack.

That's Miles. Big shout out to super producer Ana Hosnier and Lil Zam yesterday crushing the trending episode. And you know what? They did it so well that

she told us right before this that the head of iheart uh jack and i have been banished to a cave yes um and we will be replaced with anna and jamie but uh i mean you're in better hands to be honest yeah that that would be a fun joke if like everybody weren't just now cheering when they heard that um like fuck it and me i'm like finally I can wear a loincloth in a cave like I always wanted to uh all right uh let's tell the people what is trending uh we finally got a response from house Windsor uh the royal response uh was just like that that's bad we were oh man our bad well like we might i don't remember that but you know uh we're that um but yeah that's i mean look

there's the sides that are being taken it's their confederate monuments their monarchy is their confederate monuments and they're just they're now getting to that part of their house clean housekeeping uh as a nation to be like right that's right this interaction that this woman of color had with the royal family reminds us of some of the weird shit or not weird this is a fucking straight up

the sordid history of empire and colonialism and yeah of course you gotta take the side of the old established powers that's how this works not the side of the old established powers. That's how this works. Not the woman of color who's just trying to raise a family in peace and not be smeared in the papers over bullshit. Super producer Ana Hosnia on yesterday's trending episode was saying that she she has just taken it for granted that they're going to skip Charles in the line of succession.

for granted that they're going to skip Charles in the line of succession. I'm wondering if this could be a way for the queen to do that, especially if Charles was the one who was asking that. I don't know enough to know that that's for real the shit they want to do.

Because it doesn't matter to me. It's all fucked up. Yeah, it doesn't matter to me. I just think nobody likes him. Right, right, right. But I also don't think he is likes him uh right right right and but i also don't think he is circumspect or self-aware enough for that to happen so i think it would have to come from outside but anyways the other clapback is coming from uh mega markel's father uh and her half sister who people on the right are treating as though

her dad especially they're treating as though he has a like can't be racist card because he's the parent of an interracial child which is of course complete bullshit but honestly like I fathered this mud

child so you know what I mean like how can I be racist really like yeah have you have you been around interracial families sometimes there's some there can be some shit there right yeah the way some people talk to me about my kids suggest to me that they assume like a white father is going to be racist or like yeah racist about their mixed race child what you mean like they're like oh jack you know your kids look asian they're like what are you talking about they're korean what are you talking about yeah this dude this

dude was like so do you think your kid looks like half asian or full asian to me i was like well sir your clan hood is only half on right now so i can see your face uh you may want to obscure your fucked up identity i mean yeah that's this i mean it's that's why i grew up i grew up seeing that shit too being with one like especially with my mom being like this darker curly haired kid uh people asking like who the fuck i was i mean there's i can yeah i feel that jack and and and you are able to like my parents were able to love their half fucked up kids mixed race kids you're able to do that yeah it's wild it's i was so surprised i don't know how i did it man i prayed to my stars you know wow uh god fucking so people are so

this is wild when people's like their own prejudices completely fuck up their idea of humanity like i'd imagine even a person like that like are you i mean maybe some people like you know me low-key like i can't love a child that doesn't look exactly like right that's just right if megan markel's weird dad i got this far maybe there's hope for that person but yeah not her sister her half-sister so messy is like you know just throwing bombs has been since day one uh and it's it's some bullshit yeah uh whoopee is trending because uh this is just it's not even like megan mccain just it was more her energy like she came in and was like well if megan and oprah are gonna take down the monarchy then they're doing the thing that george washington tried to do and i say yeah i say

complete the work of g-dub please yeah it was it was like kind of a like i could see the point but i can also see so if he was just like so confused and she was like the fuck her face was saying the fuck yeah we're talking about a story more so we're trying to center the abuse that was being uh stuff that was that that these two people were suffering especially megan markle and now you've managed to hijack the narrative to be a fucking crossing the potomac right like what narrative like now it's about that it's like yeah because america better than britain right am i right y'all right and if he is gonna complete the work that donald trump did when he told um i don't know whatever uh i i lost look that's why that's why we're not on the view you know what i mean that's and that's why uh anna and jamie should yeah post they would have had a joke for that uh myers

leonard nba player uh seven footer most first was most memorable for basically having the name myers lemon right then he was notable for not kneeling when the rest of his team was kneeling during the anthem has added another hold on like out of respect to like my family members in the military like that's why I was doing it's not because I'm racist or what I don't believe that black lives matter yeah like it's just out of respect for the flag in the military and that's why I'm also like really committed to like anything that's like to do like not being not racist or being not hate like i'm not hate i'm not racism like so yeah keep you know keep looking

guys keep look keep digging because you're not gonna find anything do your own research uh so he uh was was on a video game stream uh and you know it was you played the clip for us it was he he with his chest out is using anti-semitic slurs the k word uh fucking aggressively talking about like oh don't snipe me you fucking coward and then like goes and throws out a few more epithets um yikes yeah and it's like it's when you it's so jarring because you're like oh my like that's some big one six energy sir coming out of your mouth right now and you know the the team has said like we're aware of the language and that's like all that's happening right now i'm sure there will be more to come but you know uh i don't know i don't know yeah wow racism on a video game stream yeah color me confused mumford and sons also uh this was some of the i think more came up over the weekend but uh that is a british banjo band and i believe their lead banjo player is a andy no fan the right wing neo-nazi uh dude yeah author just yeah and uh expert on um extremism apparently if you saw the schedule schedule of the congressional hearings that were happening on political extremism,

Wright called him to talk, who's someone who regularly just spits out misinformation, non-truths. He's mendacious, spurious, everything. Yeah. So Mumford and Sons, I didn't even know they were fucking from england i don't i thought they were from the south or the pacific northwest one of those places where yeah they look like they're from but anyways racism in the uk uh first documented example They also have some sick... Dude, Jordan Peterson was also in the... Stujo. Stujo.

They went Stujo. They went Stujo with Jordan Peterson as well. Hell yeah. Yeah. Go on, shoot. So you know. There you go. There you go, right wing.

Just thought leaders. Getting some culture. Baby. Yeah. And finally, Cuomo's trending again because there's now a sixth. I don't even know. I've lost count. But another allegation of sexual harassment, this time one taking place in the governor's mansion.

The quote from his team just feels exhausted. They say, all allegations that we learn of directly or indirectly are going promptly to the investigators appointed by the attorney general. That's the equivalent of like a PR statement. It's like, yeah, we fucking know. We're kind of fucking deal with it. Everyone's a fucking creep. Yeah. um so this one actually may raise the level of uh rise the level of assault because it had to do with inappropriate touching so we will see um right because even you know verbal harassment

is okay right you know when you're in positions of power anyway i'm really i'm really just i'm sorry i can't get over Mumford and Son So disappointing You know, because when you have a band that's the soundtrack to your whole life and then you're asked to put them down and say like

I'm inextricably tied to Mumford and the Mumford sound Like they have shaved my soul I can't re-sculpt my soul it's it's set uh so i don't know i guess i'm gonna have to check out this jordan peterson guy i just love that too you know it's funny because it's also kicking off just culture war takes and like uh like british twitter too and just people coming you can be canceled for merely blah blah

it's like no it's not whatever y'all are bored because you don't want to talk about real problems yeah uh all right that is going to do it for uh today's episode we are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves wear a mask.
