Exactly. And exposed our true crab form.

Oh, man. I'm Jack. That's Miles. We're back. There's nothing you can do about it. Assholes. We're back. Yeah. Feeling relaxed.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling great. I was sick the whole time. Were you? Yeah. I didn't have COVID, but I had a fucking 16-day cough. Oof. That I'm only now getting on the other side of.

You ever get that super energy day after you're sick where suddenly you just have all the energy that's stored up? Nah. That sounds cool, though. I had that a couple times in my 30s. What is that, tantric sex? Yeah.

It was the sickest I've ever been for a week and a half. and what is that like tantric sex but like yeah yeah health like we like you keep it in it was like the sickest i've ever been at for like a week and a half and then like i just came back and i was like oh my god yeah i haven't you know uh you bless up uh the spirits out there but i haven't i haven't had like a real i haven't been floored with illness in a while so yeah it's always just been like very inconvenient like luckily like you had covid it was mild as the french would say they would um all right well these are some things i'm jack that's miles these are some things that are trending yes they are um tucker is trending it's always good to return to the warm embrace of tucker carlson i still haven't heard his voice

oh man well allow me no don't let's not do it let's spare ourselves that he basically came out being like look i was real angry about these damn libs and i was blinded by my hate for them that i absolutely botched that red wave prediction that's kind of what's going on with me there i just he was like i think it's on charlie kirk's podcast being like it was just so bad and i just wanted to see a repudiation of this and that's why i just felt i needed that so bad that i would be getting particular um blinded by the libs blinded by your hate pretty good lesson for anybody who hates um but yeah so turns out not a great methodology for decision making or prognosticating um but yeah i honestly i think it's more him trying to explain to the wealthy donors who are being like what do we do what do we do tucker like cue me in let me know what's good because there's been so much of like public

hand-wringing and shit after the midterms that it's been of a guy who like gave somebody a terrible stock tip right right it's like jim cramer he's like you know i was just so geeked up on capitalism that i failed to see anything going wrong. Sorry. I think you gotta pull a Kramer and cry on national television to really make up for it, man. Oh, God. Yeah, exactly. Because we were so invested in his redemption arc. I know. I was so mad. He was wrong.

President Harris is trending. Salute. Joe Biden died over the break, and Kamala Harris is the president now. Hey, hey, that's what the people are thinking, man. Joe Biden died over the break and Kamala Harris is the president now. Hey, that's what the people are thinking, man. That's what I'm telling you. Because listen to this.

Tell me why. I guess he was the president. Joe Byron just said this about Vice President Kamala Harris. I'm not being facetious. Well, President Harris led this effort effort led this effort to make things better oh my she gives him a nod like a parent making eye contact with a child during a piano recital who just like fucked up oh like that that sour note like and then then like looking like, like, you got it. You got it.

Yeah. I'm not fazed. You see me, baby. I'm not fazed at all by that. I wasn't fazed by that senile shit at all. Go ahead. You keep talking, baby. I love every like I don't listen to full Joe Biden speeches.

That's a dirty little secret about me. I don't do it. But every clip that I hear from one of his speeches where there's a gaffe, it almost always begins with him assuring someone that he's not joking.

I'm not being facetious either. I'm not kidding, man. You think I'm joking? This is serious, folks. He really thinks we think he's joking about everything. I'm not joking here, folks. Kamala is the president. Is that a... about everything i'm not joking here folks kamala is the president

is that i'm not being i mean you should see right wing twitter how like most people are like yeah he's so old and shouldn't have been president no shit he's gonna say stuff like this or like not know when people have passed away and be like looking for them in the crowd but like right there are people who like really goes to show you who might really there's already like who's really calling the shots type tweets i've seen and just stupid stuff like that come on unfortunately for them they've never had a president who misspeaks at all absolutely or whose teeth almost fall out of their head or god the but this does remind me of the Bush administration

where the mainstream media's way of combating the war in Iraq was to point out that he said something dumb or said something incorrectly. It's like, oh, or you could talk about how you guys all went along with a blatant lie that is killing millions of people. Nah, well. Nah, well. What are you going to do? how you guys all went along with a blatant lie that is killing millions of people um anyways i'd love to see that conspiracy where kamala is doing all this it's all an act it's all a verbal kent style act yeah to like water down legislation you know what exactly is i mean aside from just the very like superficial connecting of the rhetorically president harris oh what does that mean but like do you have anything

aside from him saying that do you any interesting theories i'd love to hear them i would too all right jeremy renner. Oh, uh, the, yeah, it was crazy. Like few days there, the beginning of the year where like a player almost died on the field in the NFL.

Um, uh, Jeremy Renner almost died. A, uh, race car driver, I guess, uh,

did die. Um, wait, what? Right. Wasn't that? Oh, Ken block. Yeah. Yeah ken block yeah yeah i actually am yeah yeah sorry i was thinking yeah yeah he's like he does rally car but most people know him for like the jim khan uh like drifting videos that are like these like very over the top productions where he like

drifts a subaru or some shit through like universal or like the entire state of Florida. I think was like last one he did doing wild stunts. But yeah, yeah, it's been, yeah, really. And then,

um, gangsta boo died. What? Who was from three, six mafia. Yeah. Gangsta boo died also during the break. Really?

Yeah. They said, I think it may have been some kind of fentanyl. I don't know what, I don't know what happened, but gangsta boo also passed away. Oh, my God. I did not realize that.

Yeah. I knew I had to hit you with one with Jack you cared about. You're like, I don't know, Ken Block. And I said, Jack, Gangsta Boo from 3-6 Mafia. 43. Yeah, it's really, really fucked up. Anyway, but yeah, a lot of end of the year negative swirly energy was going on. Yeah.

But yeah, Renner though. Okay, I remember Tuesday when I brought it up to you, you were like, wait, what? I thought he was like a snowmobile accident or something like that. I was like, no, Jack, he got fucked up by a snowplow. Yeah. And then Jabari, our other producer, sent through the image of like, yeah, this snowcat fucking crushed his upper torso and like legs and he was in the icu and then he just posted like a message to like his well-wishers being like hey i'm having a spa day at the hospital because they were like washing his hair for the first time but

i mean it sounds awful like when you look at the machine that did this to him it is it looks like a like menacing cobra commander like toy oh 100 it looks you might as well be flattened by a steamroller yeah like wow those big ass treads i don't know like i don't know how heavy that shit looks but or is but it was enough to put this man in a bad way um my first instinct was to text uh jamie loftus just to see where jamie was how is she processing actually i haven't i didn't honestly a part of me was like you know what i don't need to cloud i don't need to bring a cloud over someone's day right so maybe we can set a letter no he's got his hair washed he seems cognizant uh things are gonna be okay the descriptions of the 911 call are like really fucked up.

Like that. They're like, they're like the description is like of him clearly like injured audibly in the background. And then people be like, I don't know what part is broken on him, but there's blood. And you're maybe all of it.

Yeah. So man, we'll stay safe out there. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be back. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds. Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists.

But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful.

I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current,

available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on

fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. And we're back. And just a quick little, you know, the NBA All-Star Game. The starters are determined by a fan vote. And that is funny. Because you have some strange things like Austin Reeves. AR-15. Okay, bad name. Bad energy guy for the Lakers

who's been putting up some stats. He's a lot of fun. You watch a Lakers game, you're going to obviously keep an eye on LeBron, but your eye keeps wanting to go over to Austin Reeves because he's always out there doing stuff, man. He's always just running around. And his big hustle hair.

Big hustle hair. I just love it. And his big hustle hair. Big hustle hair. I just love it. I think clearly a meme pick for the all-star voting, but it's clear that there is a coalition of the willing. A coalition of the willing has given him more votes than De'Aaron Fox, who is having a great season for the Kings, who are in position to make the playoffs for the first time in like a record breaking amount of time. But there are a couple of things that can be like really bad, feel really

bad in the moment, but tend to be really good for a team and a player like in the long run being drafted too late. Like Paul Pierce was supposed to be top three pick. He went, he can't slid to number 10 or nine, I think, and came out with his hair on fire and ended up being you know let that motivate him tom brady is always talking about how he's motivated he has every the name of every player who was drafted in front of him memorized which is a lot because there were like a hundred of them um like fucking aria stark or some shit yeah yeah wow exactly okay sir and then also not getting the all-star pick. Like sometimes players come in feeling lazy after the all-star game or

feeling like wired because they had to play when everybody else was off. Um, but I've always noticed there's sometimes when a player is like bubble and doesn't make it, they come out. Yes. And that was a lot of fun. So, you know, didn't go bear and cry that one year. He didn't make it. Oh come out. Yes. That was a lot of fun.

Didn't Gobert cry that one year he didn't make it? Oh, really? I think there was... And then it set his head on fire, too, I think, once. I might be conflating things, but I remember someone cried or was emotional about it and then addressed the situation. Well, speaking of crying, there's a new royals news that when you and super producer anna were texting about it earlier um seemed like

the my brain was broken there was a glitch in the matrix something was happening there was like a dog bowl involved getting broken in someone's back pretty clear I would say let me just read this exchange do you want to bring in Super Producer Ana Hosnia or are you set up to record or just come through on your zoom style it's all good if you want but the let's see

I think what Ana said I'm not set up to record but I am making toast so this will be a really great sort of aromamatic sort of visual audio uh storytelling i think so what you saw was uh you you wrote oh anna wrote miles thoughts on william attacking harry i said disappointed and then you said harry sounds insane it or let's say harry sounds wild it is hilarious wait no i mean william uh he said harry is anti-racist now so he cool and you're like and then i said i'm disappointed that harry let willie

get away with that some dude put me on my ass by hooking me bought a collar and shattering a dog bone or my back truly some spare ass behavior and you're like what is happening? So if someone did that to me, I would cry so much. Someone did that to me? I would be crying so hard and I would feel so bad. I'm much more Zen. I'm past gone are the days where someone merely said they didn't like a film and that was grounds for a rear naked show. But now the sound of miles choking somebody. But hearing this, if someone did that to me, there would be litigation.

There you go. So the book spare, there's an excerpt from Prince Harry's book. choking somebody else but hearing this if someone did that to me there would be litigation there you go so the book spare there's an excerpt from prince harry's book it's called spare because it's like a just flippant what is it reference to like his position right or like a turn is like the that's the chosen son because they will get like all the royal duties i'm talking about this i'm like a royal expert. Thank you. Yeah. Royal watch. One docu series. And I'm like, I have an accent.

The thing you need to understand. Yes. Do go. Yeah. I guess the spare is like the other son who's born. Right. Who is literally there in case like William gets like, I don't know,

ran over by a snowplow. That's how we refer to my second son too. He's the spare. But in case, apparently don't know, ran over by a snowplow. That's how we refer to my second son, too. He's the spare. Apparently, in the book, it says that when Harry was born, Charles said to Princess Diana, you gave me an heir and a spare. My job is done here.

Cool. It's a wild thing to say. She's like a post-labor, probably like, oh, great,abor probably like oh great under the operation table and that's what he says i'm sorry which job is done we're married yeah like the whole thing with us and then apparently when they were in their fight um charles apparently was holding them apart and said please don't make my final years miserable or something like that. Something that's so like dad where you're like, it's all about you, dad.

Fuck you! So I guess... Wait, how old were they when this happened? This was in 2019. This was all for Megan. This white man was so bothered by Megan just existing. He called her like... He was like, oh, he was probably like said something to her and then she like said something back and he was like oh my god we're

supposed to speak and now he like can't handle it because he called her like rude and abrasive and harry was like bro yeah he was using all the like difficult rude abrasive etc and then basically harry was like man talking like all the racist ass fucking media man like what the fuck and then he said quote it happened all so fast grabbed me by the collar ripping my necklace it's royal decree listen to that soft ass shit you've ripped my necklace sir we were getting gully in the cottage it It was Diana's boy. Oh, was it?

No, I mean, that's literally, they always said like Harry was the most like Diana, like Harry's Diana's son, William is Charles's son. Like that was always sort of the divide. I thought maybe the necklace meant, okay, I don't need to make fun of him. It was a photo of Diana. I know, his locket of his mother.

I'm like, look at you. You miss your mother, don't you? No, I don't mean that. Ripped in his necklace and he knocked me to the floor i landed on the dog's bowl which cracked under my back the pieces cutting into me i lay there for a moment dazed then got to my feet and told him to get out where were they this was at like in not caught yeah not nottingham cottage yeah they call it not caught get out Get out! Am I unwell? Wait, can I also add to that?

There's a few more little details came out of the book. One was that Harry blames William and Kate over that Nazi uniform costume he wore when he was, I think, 20 years old. Something like that. That he wore to a costume party, which the theme of this costume party was native and colonial, something like that, which already you're like, uh-oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then you pull up with Nazi, yo! But he apparently was either going to go as a pilot

or a Nazi, and William and Kate were like, oh my God, that's so funny. You should go as a Nazi. Hilarious, dude. And so I guess there was a lot of sort of anger still resonating from like harry always started getting this like heat from the press and william always just looking like the good old prince boy don't ask your brother who clearly hates you for advice sure i'm yes i think and

you know miles to your point you're saying like you know i would let william do something like that to me i think i was saying that i think harry instead of doing the whole tabloid game like william loves to do and i say that as a royal expert um it looks like harry's playing the long game he's going the dark edgy memoir route that's like oh it's gonna be one like one shot after another deal with me me to wear the Nazi outfit you broke a dog bowl under my back it's gonna be all sorts of you scraped me up that one time yeah yeah the

CSI level precision with which like the injuries of that like one push are recounted is just like such a royal like it's just like and then a thing broke under me and scraped me like it's the fucking zapruder film i mean is it not at this point we're all so like invested in a

family that like is just sad it's just funny to hear like this description of a fight is done so like dramatically and over the top because this sounds like any fight you would have with your brother or your cousins or your boys or something like that where it's like some shit went down but it's like rip my necklace up the thing fell underneath my back then I got to my feet the next line would have

been and then I came at that motherfucker for his neck and this one was like and I told him to get out and that's where it got royal. I like that. For me, it would have all been about crying so hard, but go ahead. Being so hurt. You're my brother.

You're my brother. That's how you really show them. He tells him to get out and William goes like, hit me back. Come on, hit me back. Like that's where it goes, where you're like, God damn it. William,

go away. You're so annoying. I read on another sort of site as I was casually reading about like William's anger problems. Now, I don't know if this is true. Or Willie, as he's called.

Willie. I thought this was really funny. Apparently over something, I forget what it was over. He like ripped the sink off a wall sorry yo there is so comical you're like harry harry ripped the sink off a wall i'm gonna need to see proof harry or william buy it harry no wait oh oh charles no it's charlie william there's also a charles hard to tell them! Sorry, I read that William ripped the sink out of the wall because William has all

the anger problems. Sorry, all these white men. I can't put their names straight. That's kind of why you being our resident Royal Watcher is so inspiring is because you also have royal face blindness where you can't tell the difference between any royal and so

you don't actually know what is happening at any time in any of the stories you're telling us. It's pretty impressive. There's this one that says Charles ripped the fucking sink off the wall because one of his cufflinks went down the drain.

That's incredible. And then he threw a chair through a window. We've seen how frustrated he gets with a pen that isn't working for him. Yeah. This blasted thing never works! Like, okay, fool, just get a bick. You'll be all right.

Stinking thing. Didn't he call it a stinking thing? I think it is. I read that he doesn't, he's too scared of William, though. Charles is apparently scared of William, and William yells in his face, what's the drama?

Oh, that's, yeah yeah I can see him not being built for a sun rage oh yeah he can't handle that I don't think he's built for anything he seems to be the softest most like ill-formed man that has ever come along it's truly it is

just a blast to just like kind of just watch this pop your popcorn and watch these motherfuckers just completely. Cause it is satire level. Just everything they do is such a great, just hilarious, uh, demolition of any idea like of,

of just the civilization we've, we've, we've come up with, you know? Oh yeah. They're truly a mess. yeah they're truly a mess like they're genuinely a mess when i feel like a family is messy that's like their photo it's like there's nothing they've never done anything good they don't contribute they just kind of like walk around and smile and

wave and then they have like truly the poorest behavior behind the scenes as well and can i just really quickly um um, I think about this joke I made all the time with you, Jack, just still makes me laugh when I think about it. We were, uh, I believe it was me, you, we around the table, me, you, Sophie, miles, a few others from our team. And we were talking about the different eras of who we thought was hot. When, so like when I was growing up, Prince William was the cute one. And when i was growing up prince william was the cute one and when he was growing up prince harry was yes harry was a cute one right and i i remember making the joke and when jack was growing up prince charles got my ass it gets because one it would make you so old and two the idea that prince

charles literally he was a pin up I had a pin up of him let's make that canonical that I when I opened my locker I had like Michael Jordan and then a pin up of Prince Charles dressed like Dina Vontaze yeah

in a big oversized champagne glass even in that era he would still be like decently old yeah i don't know anyway that is that is my affection for him that's the level of roasting we give jack we've run out of time but we we we do just have to mention m3 again because we ill-advisedly made it the title of this episode oh yeah did it do well is it is that why it's trending i think it's streaming on like hbl max or netflix or one of those uh but it's supposed to be good people are like it's instant cult status um oh so i don't know i'm intrigued i'm intrigued

annabelle is piss annabelle oh yeah i was gonna say i was like didn't you just have that shit but annabelle wasn't like high tech right annabelle was like uh analog ass porcelain oh and you know this one's high tech because it has a three okay annabelle was just cursed right right which is like a cursed doll yeah which is one of the most old-fashioned types of technology there is is a cursed doll yeah well so when chucky and Jennifer Tilly get divorced, I can see a rom-com in the future. Chucky putting on M3. That's where the 3 comes from.

Is the 3? Oh no! They really fucked themselves for a sequel because they already put the 3 in there. What are we going to do? You could do M e g four n yeah just skip right to the fourth one yeah it's the fourth one i guess m e g four three four yeah

megaborn yeah all right well those are some of the things that are trending on this thursday january 5th we are back with a bang. It is 2023. We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy.
