has told me not to say I appreciate you. Oh my God. What the fuck's wrong with you people? Can you just do the cold open and stop saying your wife's names? What the hell? She was like, I don't like it. It doesn't work for you. I mean, white guys say it's really for black people.

Is that right? Seameless. A man, appreciate you, man. Appreciate you. That's great. Yeah, it's also like it does feel a little southern when I do it. Yeah, I definitely. I used to say preach when I was about, you know, 10 years younger. You wouldn't say preach?

Yeah. No, you did not. This was before, wait, did I know you then? I had to have. I knew you 10 years ago. Yes, I had to do. 10 years ago. That was when I worked at the art gallery.

I used to say it because I didn't give a shit about anything. You used to say preach? Really? For sure. You would say preach instead of appreciate you? Yep. No. All right, in context.

What are you to say? Like, okay, here, man. Preach. Here's this. Here's your. Here's your lunch delivery, man. There you go. Oh, preach, man.

I would be like, yo, what the fuck? Preach what? I'm going to take that as disrespect. What is this guy saying about me? Preach, brough. No, I didn't care about nothing back then. I didn't give a fuck. I was like Liam Neeson, man, out there looking for trouble.

Saying shit like preach. I was walking around looking for a black guy to say preach to. What's up, man? Pretty heavy-a-bottle in my pants. It's staying down my left leg. Started suspiciously low because my dick is so huge. Preach, bro. Preach.

But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down in my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of their daily nightgaste.

Oh, hell, you. I'll get the week started. Let's go. Let's fucking go. Yeah, in more ways than one, if you know what I'm saying. Like a roller blade. Miles turns into macho man Randy Savage when he's rolling. I take him.

On X. Do you imagine the opposite? Dude, that guy turns into the macho man, Randy Savage every time. Oh, yeah. Whatever Mel Gibson was on in that Joe Rogan interview, I feel like is the drug that turns you into macho man. Manny's avid. Yeah, yeah. He was on the brink of.

He's just like on the every moment is so intense that it feels like he's going to collapse in on himself. Let me tell you something, Joe, I've got fringe growing off my sleeve right now. Leather fringe, like the macho man. Oh, Miles. Yeah. It's Monday morning on June 8th. Game three of the NBA finals tonight. The New York Knicks are looking good.

I was going to get to that. The macho man ran. He's from Columbus, Ohio. Because there's a bit of Midwestern, you know. Yeah, yeah. There is the, you know. The chip is that flavor to macho man that you gotta hit a little bit there. Yeah.

Cause the roof roof. He's, you know. I had my head on my pillow. Play in the cranes. Drankin some milk. Have you ever heard somebody? I think it's more Michigan. They call it milk.

You just said it right. What do you mean? Milk. Milk. M-E-L-K. Milk. Like Dr. Melthy.

Yeah, sure, sure. Which I just Uh, anyways, this is the episode where we tell you what is trending over the weekend. What is trending here on Monday morning. Uh,

my name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles Gray. Oh, yeah. Are you watching? He was gregarious, but never shy.

Are you watching Widows Bay or Widow Bay? Uh, no, no, no, not yet. That shit's good. I,

do you remember, I think it was last week, we were talking about how I, uh, would pretend to ding-dong ditch people out of cowardice. Yeah. They put that, that is a thing from Widows Bay that, like, I just saw

over the weekend. So you stole that from Widows Bay? I saw it after I said it, like, but days after I said it. I don't know now. That's fucking crazy. This makes sense. A lot of people were on the Discord are like, Jack's just fucking ripping off Widows Bay. Did they really say that? No. Oh. It was crazy. I mean, you know, we're all tapping the same

like. Wait, was it like a childhood flashback? It was this character who is a coward. he's trying to win over somebody who, uh, who he used to ding, dong ditch. And he's, and he, the guy's like, yeah, I remember you and your friends used to, it's Stephen Root, by the way. It's a really great show. Um, but, uh, he's, he's like, yeah, I remember you and your friends used to ding dong ditch me. And he's like, oh, is that what this is about? You're still mad about that? He's like, no, I just know you're a coward because you would never press the button when you, and you, and you, and you, you, and you,

you guys would run off laughing. So any, to any of the elderly people that, uh, that I pretended to ding-donged, but ran away, you know? I find you. Oh, if it isn't the coward boy. Well, well, well. We would always root for you to actually press the button. Do you know that?

We'd see it come up. I'm like, he might do it today. That would be a crazy thing to do is to catch a kid doing that and then catch up to him and his friends and be like, hey, just wanted to let you know. Sorry, bro. I don't mean to put your boy on blast. Your man didn't even hit the button, bro. And then the old guy and your friends just beat you up together.

Anyways, hard recommend for that show. It's a lot of fun. This is the episode where we tell you what was training over the weekends, what's trending this Monday morning. But we also tell you some things we think are underrated and overrated. And Miles, you know we like to start with you by asking you something. What's something you think is underrated. This goes out to my perfect friend, Kurt Henning.

Great rap song, my perfect friend that he wrote after Kurt Henning died. He was gregarious, but never shy. Oh, I am not familiar with this part. Memorial to a fallen wrestler. Wow. Anyway, my underrated dude, Elijah. I'm only like kind of familiar with his general vibe. I'm not like up on the lore.

He was taken too soon. And that's on me. My underrated. Brian, the editor said he's one of the. great rappers. For sure, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Bars. Actually, I should say underrated macho man, Randy Savage as an MC. But my

real one today is Elijah Jordan Wood, the actor. His own name's Jordan? Yeah, his own name is Jordan, dude. And he was born before Jordan was even the lead, dude. That's how you know. That's just legit. I just got it, I saw him in public and I was starstruck. And because of that, I had to really examine

why was I like, oh, shit, dude, fucking Elijah would. And I realized for millennials, this guy's been a, like, he's been with us from Jump Street. I didn't realize that he was in the David Fincher directed Forever Your Girl Paula Abdul music video. He was? Yes, that's his debut. Wait, what was that video? He, I got to remember forever and ever.

But does it tell a story, Miles? Yeah. he's like he's like he's like he's wearing a suit he's like the kid in the suit then just i think everyone on like he was a good son north he was also i was reading this thing he auditioned for kindergarten cop and he didn't get it and ivan rightman told him that quote his performance was not believable wow and then elijah wood was like yeah it's kind of a harsh thing to say to a nine-year-old auditioning for a fucking movie but was he saying you're not believable as a kindergartener whatever it was That was the note on the audition.

I was like, yeah, just the performance wasn't believable. Not, we're going for realistic here, lived in. Yeah. You're giving little orphan Annie, brother. Fucking. The adventures of Huck Finn, he was, Eternal Sunshine for the spotless. I was just, again, I think he's just been so many different things over the course of his career

that I'm just, I got to say, the Lord of the Rings thing really sealed it for me. And he just seems like a good guy overall. Totally had him confused with Toby McGuire, not in like a broad sense where I was like, those are the same person in my conscious mind. Right, right, right. In my unconscious mind, whenever I hear a Toby McGuire story,

it gets lumped in under Elijah Wood as well. Yeah. Because I'm a broken, a broken man. My grandparents met him once when they were extras on deep impact, and they were like, he's a kind man. I remember them saying something like that. Just every little thing anecdotally I've heard. Now, maybe I have this all wrong.

But I was just like thinking back and I'm like, bro, people don't really talk about Elijah would like that. They certainly don't. I don't know why, you know? But I see you, Elijah. Did you say anything? Fuck, no. I was too shook. He's like so small.

He's like this little guy. I didn't even notice him until like her mad. She's like, fucking Elijah Wood. That's Elijah what the fuck? I was like, that's fucking Elijah Wood. You got a mustache like everybody right now. Oh, he's got a mustache. Oh, yeah.

That would throw me. He's got the little push. You know, he's, everyone's rocking the mustache. Now, it's really actually ingenious disguise for a lot of like baby-faced people. Because when you're suddenly rocking a mustache like that, people are like, who the fuck's this guy? And you're like, oh, fuck. It's fucking Frodo. There's a profile of the actress, Julianne Moore, in the New Yorker from a long, long time ago.

But they talk about this experience they have. where they're, like, sitting down with her, and, like, they watch her, like, come in from the street of New York, and they're, like, she's kind of invisible. There's, like, something about her where she's, like, hiding in plain sight, and she just, like, has this energy about her where, like, she could just, like, turn it on and off, and, like, the off switch is just, like, you don't really notice her. Yeah. She just, like, blends in with her environment, which is, like, such a crazy thing, like,

a skill that, like, doesn't seem like it should be possible. But, yeah, it sounds like Elijah would. has it too. Yeah, no, he, because he's like, you know, he's like in his mid-40s now. So he's like got the salt and pepper thing. Like it's just definitely in your, in my mind, I'm like he's, I think he always looks like Frodo Baggins. Yeah. But then you're like, oh no, this dude is like a middle age dad. Yeah, yeah. Just you're, you're killing it. You're killing it, bro. Good to tell you. My underrated is how horny, uh, the hello motto ringtone sounds. You know the hello motto. Hey, do you have a Motorola,

phone that you don't i don't so i went to see the movie pressure with my 10 year old uh starring the hot priest from flea bag season two uh and brendan fraser as isanhauer it is about the planning of d day it was a good time at the movies for me because my son was having a blast and kept whispering things that he's like oh so this is actually what happens here and like because he's you know everybody's got their kid you know their kid obsession whether it be dinosaurs or whatever I got, I opened my pack and mine is World War II. So, but it, it is demographically like the oldest movie that you could possibly imagine. Like, it combines World War II, which I think I had previously thought was the oldest

genre of movie. But this movie is about the weather also, which is a thing that the elderly love talking about more than anything. So needless to say. say we got more than one phone going off during the movie. Because it was my 10-year-old, me, and then the-al. And everyone who remembers D-Day. Yeah, for real.

And an old guy in the row in front of me had his hello-motto ring go off. And I don't know if it was specifically the context or like hearing it in a darkened theater, but like I was just like, damn, that's a hello. That's embarrassing for so many reasons, but one of them is like to have like, I don't know if it's just the new version. Has it always been a woman's voice being like, hello, Motto? Oh, no. The one I'm thinking of was like the early one that was like a robot voice. Oh, yeah, yeah.

There's a hot, there's a hot lady voice now? Yeah, they've like done what Pauly did to his robot and Rocky for a little bit where they've like kind of sexed it up a little bit. Oh, wait, who's this one? Let's this, what's, is this this one? Hello, Motto. That one? No, it was a little hornier than that, but. Hornyer than that.

Hello, Motto. Right? That one? Yeah. Oh. You don't think that sounds horny? It's a little breathy. Just coming out in the middle of a.

Okay, I'll give it horny. I just, I like how you go, mm. Hmm? You're like covering your kids' ears. You're like, I don't know. I just, I'd love to see the demographic. split of people who still have that ring on their phone. Yeah.

Who are like elderly men who at an unconscious level are like, when the horny woman tells me I have a phone call, that makes me feel good. I actually said it for my cholesterol medication reminder too. Just I like to hear her voice. Anyways, Miles, what is something you think is overrated? Just I always say this all the time, but like it's, we're back to doing that thing where people describe the malaise and cynicism of our era with like these like weird new terms like we're in a crush we're in a crush recession is a thing i read

recently which was uh this is a a social media concept that describes an overall decrease in people's enthusiasm spontaneity and optimism regarding the excitement they feel when thinking about crushes or romantic interests i would say that there's a few things upstream of that that lead you to crush recessions. You know what I mean? Like the idea that there, I, that going on dates is prohibitively expensive depending on where you live in most places, to be real, just like to socialize outside of like a home is expensive, uh, just climate anxiety. There's so many things that I feel like would contribute to just sort of this feeling of like, uh, yeah, man. I blame smartphones. Right. It's just these kids in their damn phones. And like another one was about like doom

spending. It's like doom scrolling or whatever. And I'm like, dude, this is people, again, dealing with the absurdity of our financial system. And they're like, I don't know, man, what's fucking money? Like, what's even debt? And all we've been raised on is hyperconsumption. So maybe I'm just going to do that more rather than just being like, this new thing called doom spending's taken over. It's like, no.

Try to make it sound like a hot trend. Yeah. Financial nihilism. You're failing to address the existential threats that people face and is causing all kinds of dread and manifesting in overconsumption or lack of enthusiasm when dating or these other things. But I'm like always just blown away with like new terms that are just like, because you just see headlines and you're like, oh, like Gen Z is calling it a crush recession. And me being old, I'm like, what did they say? I'm old. What's Gen Z saying? And I'm reading. I'm like, oh yeah,

man, fucking everything sucks. That's what you're saying. This is another version of saying everything fucking sucks. And even like the media doesn't want to say it. We talked about how politicians won't even say it. I have the fucking media. You'd be like, yeah, look, everything fucking sucks.

It's bad. So it's affecting how people are going into debt buying shit to feel better about something to fill a hole in them that, you know, can only not, doesn't look like it's going to be easily mended. At least they're connecting it to a financial term with recession, as opposed to just being like,

is this? avocado limp dickedness. These kids are not horny enough because of all the avocado toast. You know what they say now? Like the thing I've read now is like these Gen Z kids and their $28 lunches is like their most is their avocado toast. And I'm like, oh, because, yeah, everyone goes on and goes, I need to spend $28 for lunch. It's like you go out presumably on your lunch break and you work in a big city and you eat

two things at a sit-down restaurant, you're like, yeah, that's 40 bucks. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it's everyone, everyone, it's the hottest new thing is wasting $28 for a lunch. The hot new trend is feeling completely useless and without any future in an economy that is smothering you to death. Exactly. We call it crush bashing. Exactly. It's a feeling of instability because they're surrounded by a breakdown of our standards, values, and social practices. One would describe it as an omie. Anomie. All right.

Something I think is underrated or overrated. I just, I don't know if it's overrated. I enjoy the fact that there are PSAs for movies that they do before movies. Like there are PSAs for the concept of movies. Like AMC spends about three minutes before every movie. movie alongside the most effective ads in existence, which are like movie trailers. Those are the only ads I go out of my way to watch. Wait, what are these PSAs for Gen.

Like, what are we talking about here? So like when AMC comes in and they're like light moving on a screen. Oh, sure, sure. Right. With sound that matches up. Sound that tells a story that makes you feel things in a dark room with other people. It's like, you're just describing what a movie. Like, you already got me.

But it's almost, it almost feels like they're filibustering. Like someone was on short notice was just like, hey, could you get up and say a few words about movies? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, uh, lights. Right. So we're going to start there. Lights. Uh, in shapes.

Lights make shapes. Right, right, right. Uh, let's see. Apollo, the god of light. or son. Yeah. Fuck. Fuck.

What else? What else? There's like three of them. There's a Nicole Kidman one. There's like a new one that's not Nicole Kidman. So they don't even have like scenes from movies. They're just like talking about movies. No, no, no.

It's Nicole Kim. You have to just lean into the fact that Nicole Kidman has become like the, you know, Greek goddess of the movie is about to start. Very specific deity. But that's the lane that she occupies. I think it's generally AMC being like, you come to the movies. We are the movies. You come to us by our like subscription or whatever.

But it's just such a weird approach. Be like an ad before the NBA finals being like, how happy when the ball goes through the metal ring, it's called a basket and we love it. It used to be a peach basket. Isn't that something? That's two points and we call it a switch. 25 pounds per square inch, the air pressure needed for the leather round ball.

I don't even know what the PSI is for basketball, but it feels like that's the kind of thing you would say. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for enjoying the basketball. Thank you for not booing the president. Uh, yeah, we're going to get to that right after the break. We'll be right back. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart.

Donald Trump is tempting the fates. The New York Knicks are on a historic heater, a 13-game winning streak in the middle of the later rounds of the NBA playoffs. I mean, it started, I guess, in round one. They were struggling a little bit. And then just started crushing everybody. It's the most dominant period in the history of the National Basketball Association that they are currently on. They just defeated the Spurs in two games in San Antonio and they're coming home. Couldn't be looking more up for them, for the city of New York, for their fans.

And then a couple of things are just like kind of popping their ugly heads up. One is the president, Donald Trump, has announced that he will attend slash ruin game three of the NBA finals at Madison Square Garden. He's good friends with James Dolan. They are fellow New Yorkers who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars. So they're like kind of at an exclusive crew together. I mean, and Dolan got married at Marlago too. Yeah, yeah. That's like how down in 2000.

like two. Okay? Before it was even like the real conservative mark of how loyal you are. It's like, yeah, yeah. They've been friends. So a lot of the joy that people are feeling for the Knicks around, like I'm always excited when the Knicks are involved. Like the NBA is just better when the Knicks are involved.

And a big part of it is Madison Square Garden. A big part of it is Knicks fans. And even though for years now, normal fans have been priced out of the inside of the arena. There are these watch parties that happen outside of Madison Square Garden that they can always like cut to that shows like real Knicks fans just having a blast. Yeah. So that shit's not happening in game three.

They have canceled the outdoor watch parties, which is great. It's also wild because the White House won't confirm that this is because of Trump, but Madison Square Garden issued a statement noting the plant. Like so the White House, they said in the statement, this is in Madison Square Garden spokesperson, the White House will confirm that this is not about the president. We understand NYPD Commissioner Tish is planning additional street closures around Madison Square Garden. Later, there will be no watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden for game three only. This was done fully in coordination with the Secret Service because of the presidential visit. we expect watch parties at Madison Square Garden to resume for game four.

So they basically like read the statement that the White House gave them to be like, you have to read this. And they're like, this is not about the president. And then immediately we're like, and this was done in coordination with the people protecting the president. I don't know. You guys do the math on this. Figure that out. Yeah.

Oh, man. Because I mean, they're already worried about like how fucking floppy the brand is right now with the America 250 cancellations, like the UFC fight, and you know that they're like, fuck, man, I don't know if this is going to be good to fucking send him into Madison Square Garden.

Yeah. Like, there were a lot of good tweets. Like, Chase Serrano was like, you motherfuckers better boo him so hard that my television vibrates off of the wall. Shout out to Chase Verona.

Who, a great tweet in the midst of misery because he has a Spurs fan. so that I think that is how a lot of people are feeling unfortunately some things that are a little abnormal about this one like there won't even be the fans outside of the arena there to like boo him second of all the cheapest ticket as as of like early this morning um the game is tonight uh was $10,000. The cheapest ticket.

Christ. Was $10,000. So it's not going to be normal Knicks fans. Like this is this is this is actually Jack, I just looked, you can get one for about $4,000. Oh really? They're dropping.

They're dropping. I do wonder if the fact that you have to arrive two hours before the game has anything to do with their dropping. They just they switch it from like, I don't know, how early do you arrive for a basketball game? Like, me normally?

Yeah, usually I buy my tickets last minute on some kind of ticket exchange. So I find like a terribly depressed ticket price. And then, uh, I don't know, maybe at most 20 minutes before tip off before tip off. Yeah. If it's like a game, you really care about you, you want to see the, you want to marinate a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I still, I mean, with traffic and everything, get up. Yeah. The most I've ever done is maybe 30 minutes. They're asking people to arrive two hours, but they're asking people to arrive like this is an international flight. Yeah, right? Jesus. Two fucking hours just because some dickhead who doesn't even like basketball has to go in there to fucking pump his own ego up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know. I mean, I'm hoping there's enough New Yorkers who have disposable income and aren't fully maga-brained that they can at least boost somewhat. But come on, you Wall Street Democrats. Yeah. And they're in there fucking do something. People are also being like he's going into deep blue New York City. It's like New York has had a Republican mayor for the majority of my adult life. I don't know what exactly.

And like it's like especially at a game like this, you know? Sure, sure. I mean, yeah, having something that's already going to have that like economic barrier to it, you're already. The people who would like really be. I'm not holding that hope. Yeah. that's where I wish like the fun police that old Nike campaign was back in it or like the real fans need to get in here.

Yeah. And just bring in everybody from the outside. Bring the guy in the Spider-Man outfit wearing Tim's drinking Henny through a Spider-Man mask. Bring them in there to properly fucking boo this guy. Like if there's if there are good rich people in New York City, they need to buy tickets and give them to the craziest fans. That's like McKenzie Bezos. That would be step in. Yeah.

She's just hands out. Here you go. Come on. Yeah, you get you with the three headbands on. Yep. That's you. Right? Yep. My guy with chess in Jersey.

Yep, yep, yep. That would be, that would be, like, you just out there, like, Scrooge on Christmas morning, just giving shit out. Like, you would be the most popular person in New York City. Oh, 100%. Holy shit. I mean, and if you have that kind of money, Jesus, you could launch a mayoral campaign off that. You remember when I got, you remember when I did that shit?

Yeah, yeah, seriously. I'd be like, yo, that's fucking legend move, bro. He was handing out fucking Nick's taking. It gets right outside Madison Square Garden to fucking anybody. It was beautiful. One other uncool thing about this. So James Dolan is at the cutting edge of using facial recognition technology to ban people. Facial recognition grievance technology.

Yes. Yeah. There's a former New York Nick great. Like the cool, the enforcer, Charles Oakley, who has been critical of James Dolan. And he's been given a lifetime ban from the stadium. them from Knicks games. Like, even as they're, like, having this great moment where all the former greats are, like, coming together and going to the games, uh, he's like, not willing to forgive him.

I don't even know what the fuck he said. But, like, think about that combined with, like, the carefulness of the Secret Service and Trump being even more. Oh, yeah. Like, they're competing for, uh, the most thin-skinned humans, uh, in the world. So, like, that's the real finals at stake right now. Right. White's just going to be in his skin, Dolan versus Trump.

Yeah. Charles Oakley should be there. All those guys. I was just talking to my friend who is someone, they were saying that like, you'll be so funny. Like they should do the opening of belly to announce the starting lineups for the Knicks. Like just, uh,

steady. Are you ready? And I'm like, that's too hard for this generation of Knicks players. They are not, those 90s Knicks players, I could see that. Jalen,

Kat, you know, Josh Hart, they're likable. They don't have. like that real edge to like those the john starks the patrick ewing's type players from that era but they're still so likable i was just saying i'm like these are the most likable nicks like that don't have that edge which they don't need to but i was just like these guys all look

like they could be a really great saturday morning cartoon that i would let my kid watch yeah yeah yeah yeah they're all they're all kind of fun they're a good gang good guys a good bunch of guys no one you're gonna worry about johnson's tough as hell too like that yeah yeah yeah yeah um all right so anyways we'll be watching don't let us down New York boo this motherfucker you're gonna do fine bro get that chip man I'm fucking rooting for you

but Ben Shapiro isn't what was his reasoning around me? I think it's because these these socialists are actually supporting the New York Knicks and if they win that's a victory for them

and it's just like it's by association because it's New York City it's Aramamani likes them therefore they're bad and I don't have a lot of friends who think this is they're saying i'm i'm wrong for this but no i that's that's the level of analysis that uh ben shapiro's into right now just zoran mom dani will be happy boom this jump in there um we got some semi good news yeah cat abugazale uh friend of the show

member of the broad view six yeah um if you remember the back in the fall she was like you know she found herself along with five others under federal indictment because they did the dumb thing of exercising their First Amendment rights outside of an immigration detention facility in Illinois. And next thing you know, they've been indicted for felony conspiracy because they were too close to a federal vehicle. And everyone was like looking at this and like, holy shit, you know, felt like another one of these escalations where you can see what an actual weaponized justice department looks like going out. after Americans that are legally just critiquing what the government is doing. But because they're expressing an antithetical viewpoint to the administration, that equals felony conspiracy. Yeah, she put her hand on the hood of a car, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. That was like moving. So it's like not to be like, I'm going to Hulk smash this car. Even then, it's like, that wasn't anything. They're very sensitive about people being attacked by moving cars. Like that, so that's interesting. They should know. They were like, but in this case,

our moving car was actually in grave danger from this small person. Yeah. And what's crazy is, too, is like they tried to get an indictment and they were unsuccessful a few times. So again, this from the Guardian, quote, the case collapsed amid stunning allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, including grand jury manipulation. Later, the U.S. attorney Andrew Boutros, the federal prosecutor who leads the U.S. Department of Justice Chicago office, showed up to personally drop all charges. The Broadview Six case was already on shaky ground as it headed for trial. prosecutors had dismissed two defendants in March and then dropped all felony charges against the remaining four in April, leaving only misdemeanors for trial. The final nail for the prosecution

came during May 21st hearing days before the trial when the U.S. District Judge April Perry sharply criticized federal prosecutors over misconduct revealed in transcripts from the grand jury proceeding. Perry said the prosecutors improperly tried to influence grand jurors communicated with them about substantive matters outside the grand jury room and remove jurors who disagreed with the government's case from the deliberation. So like that seems legal. Yeah.

Well, the first two, they couldn't even get the grand jury to fucking move. So they're like, fuck, all right, this third one, we're just going to have to go all in on fuckery and got this flimsy indictment. And boom,

has now led them to the cases being dropped. But so the legal jeopardy is over. But the defendant still collectively all around a miller, around a million dollars in legal fees. And, you know, a lot of them have been fundraising or crowdfunding for this kind of thing. And in The Guardian, Kat said, quote, that's not a happy ending. It's just an ending. It's not justice, but it is a win.

Because, yeah, going to fucking court is already its own financial monster. Unless you're someone who's like James Comey, who's just like, yeah, all my friends are lawyers. We'll handle this shit. Like, I'll fucking, I'll eat that. Yeah, that's a completely different proposition. not on, not on, already on top of the stress of being like, I got the fucking government coming after me because I dained to say that the detention of these people is fucked up and illegal.

Yeah. That's a horrifying situation that they were put in. And it's wild that the government with like just complete willingness to be corrupt was still unable to like pull off more than that. So we're saved by and designed incompetence once again, I would have to say in this case. But shout out to Kat. We'll put a link in the footnotes for where you can contribute to their legal fund.

Let's see. There's a meet the press thing over the weekend that made some headlines. I don't know why. Like it's just Donald Trump like being mad and huffing and story. warming off from another interview. But like, you know, meet the press as an institution. So people are like, oh, my God, I can't believe he's going on. Meet the press.

And they asked him some difficult questions that he's not used to being asked. He defended the, quote, anti-weaponization slash fund and claimed that he never promised that he wouldn't start any wars during the campaign, even though it's like the easiest thing to just clip. And then when Kristen Welker pushed back on his election conspiracy theories, he said it's happening right now in California, as we'll get to. He freaked out and left and said, thank you, darling, before yanking off his mic. Yeah, very. It was that whole back and forth was pretty wild.

Like, it was just not, like, she kept going like, well, then where's your evidence? Where he's like, it's illegal, it was stolen. She goes, okay, then where's the evidence? Do you have an evidence? He just have to look. It was. Right. You just have to look.

Oh, yeah. I would love to look at evidence. Also, the rain in the background is so loud because they're doing it like a fucking garage. It was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California. It's happening right now in California right now. I like her energy.

She's like, you never, where's your evidence, my guy? Slow, they're urging. No, they're crooked. They're urging the votes to be. I'm just skipping through. This is the whole tone of this back and forth. And meet the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked.

But really? Really? And then this is when he finally turns, rips his microphone off. And she's like, please, I came all the way from Wisconsin or all the way to Wisconsin. Let's call it quick because I've had it. Thank you, darling. Have a good time. Mr. President, let's please, I travel all the way to Wisconsin.

I travel all the way to Wisconsin. On and off in the rain. and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest. Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the front of you. It looked like he was going to give her a kiss on the cheek at that part. No, there was just a huge lighting rig, like a big soft box above them.

So he couldn't fully stand up under him. So he was like using her as a thing. Using her as balance because he's not strong with his legs or balance. Yeah. And then, like, afterwards, she's like, yeah, we, this is what she said on the other side of the interview, um, after he just walked out. And a lot of people are like, huh? I spoke with President Trump on Saturday. And we both acknowledged the complications during the interview posed by the rain. He agreed to sit down with me for another meet the press interview. Uh-huh. Wait, what? That feels like the kind of thing you say because you're trying to manage the relationship. It's like, it's not because you, I was. confronting you with your total lack of evidence with all your allegations.

It was the rain, right? Like, the rain kind of messed it up, right? Right. Yeah, and then I'm sure it was like, it was the rain, yep.

We had a very productive conversation. It just happened to be raining. We'll have another one. We'll do another one. I acknowledge it was the rain. So is he right, though, Miles?

Is there active vote rigging happening in California right now? Because... The U.S. attorney that's in charge of, the LA office had to come out and like actually debunk one of the fucking conspiracy theories about votes. And they're like, we just, you know, there's a conspiracy. There's a theory going around that the vote results came back where one candidate got zero votes. They're like, we've reviewed the matter. That's not true. Everyone got votes that round. Keep looking.

Right. So I'm surprised that the U.S. Attorney's Office even did that with a Trump appointee who's there to be like, exactly. That guy's like, he's fucking fine. Get that guy out of here. Right. But no, there is no voter fraud, as much as people love to say that. It's just that we allow things like, you know, mail-in ballots that have been postmarked on election day. There's seven days to still get those in. And because of the way people vote in California, most people just drop their ballots off

the day of, or many do. So you're just left with a huge fucking bottleneck of shit to process. And it takes more time to get through everything. Have you watched the Lakers game on TV? Like, there's nobody there for the first quarter. People in Los Angeles show up late as fuck to everything. Even I think they paid so much money for. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They show up late to everything. Like, give them a minute to count this shit. But yeah, so, I mean, the big news in local politics here in Los Angeles was that as Miles had predicted, and I was worried. I thought we were headed for the Spencer Pratt administration. But they kept counting the votes. Which is crazy. An unprecedented move by Democrats to secure power.

They kept counting the votes. And as a lot of people who knew which votes were outstanding versus which had already been counted, as a lot of them predicted, Nithia Rahman has overtaken Spencer Pratton is now in second and likely to face Mayor Karen Bass in the runoff election. Yeah. Oh, man. And member Spencer, you said you were going to fuck us. off out of L.A. If you didn't make...

Yeah, he lost. So you better be fucking off out of L.A., man. Well, but this was a fake election. This was... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're a fake ass celebrity, bro. Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. Get the... Yeah, it's that a lot of people

like, well, what's cool? How is this possible? It's like, man, so many people were sitting on their ballots of the day of. I knew so many people who were like filling them out Tuesday and then dropping them off. Yeah. Because they wanted to see if, like, they should go. Nithia or yeah

yeah and they chose I think wisely because anybody else probably would have split the vote so I think Karen Bass doesn't want this one though Karen Bass doesn't want this one though Karen Bass so that's the thing like there's a Hollywood reporter

article with the headline like it's the most glowing possible journalistic take on like the rise of Spencer Pratt and he was really like changing things and shaking things up but he was no match for the democratic machine

It was just like, the Democratic machine did not want this. They wanted to run against Spencer Pratt. Like that, that was what they wanted. They don't want Nithya Rahman because she's going to challenge her from the left. And they don't do well in those elections, you know? I think they were going to do badly worse than they were anticipating, no matter who the second candidate was. But that's hopeful that it's somebody coming from the law. left. Yeah, to have like a blue city like that and be like, you can get, you can get the status

quo or we can try something progressive here. What's, what's it going to be? Right, right. Now, we'll see if that affects Karen Bass's policies. That's the one thing. A lot of people are curious of like, is she going to go try to find more progressives, more progressive support with their policies? I'm not sure about that. But, oh, man, the Hollywood reporter, man. I just love their political coverage. Always the best. I can't wait until the, the, I can't wait to see the demographics on who voted for Spencer Pratt because I think it's going to be so heavily, it's just like rich whites, you know? Oh yeah. Oh my God. Uh, I can't, can't imagine. I mean, it's all the people, like, when you look at sort of like where his votes. It's like,

yeah, and it's people who live in less dense, densely populated parts of L.A. who are already like sort of philosophically like, ooh, ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want to look at my golf course or I want to be just have as much space as possible. Or the people who like live in the more densely populated areas of like L.A. We're definitely trending towards Nithia because they're like, yeah, housing policy. Yeah. Interesting. Can we can we hear more about that?

Those golf course people don't want Nithia coming because she's already voiced Tassie. She said she looked the other way. She said she'd look the other way when we occupy golf courses. That's all we need. That's all we need. Hey, so you're saying there's a chance. Guys, I'm just saying January 6th, 2027. Great golf course run up.

We have some big news. What's the news, dude? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get. your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused, stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We The N-House is the podcast that's changing that.

I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host, and for years I've created a space where the un-housed and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. Roodian Houses a two-time Webby and Signal Award-winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Jill Wichor.

The Pentagon is suddenly worried about Israeli espionage after decades of not giving a shit about Israeli espionage. Wait, wait, what matter? What matter of espionage are we talking about here?

They've reportedly upped their assessment of the espionage. threat posed by Israel to the highest category to critical because of Israel's effort to gain intel about America's, America's negotiations with Iran. Although they note that the surge began in 2024 surge. Great. Great soda. After Biden began stepping up pressure on Israel over its genocide in Gaza. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Biden stepping stepping up. stepping up his pressure of being like, I'm, this guy is getting mad. You couldn't handle a headline that was like Biden says it's quote bullshit. Right. Okay. What do you need? What?

How many bombs do you need? Yeah, yeah, here, here, here, here, here. So officials are stressing that recent Israeli activities have gone beyond what Washington traditionally considers acceptable among allies. Oh, like money being poured into political coffers. Yeah, yeah. It's like that. They include Trump envoy and key negotiator Steve Wickcock.

the Pentagon's top policy official, Elbridge A. Colby, and one of his deputies have been targeted. And they also, like, so just to give you a baseline of, like, what they were willing to look the other way for up to this point and, like, what they've escalated beyond. Right. So they were caught placing cell phone surveillance devices near the White House in 2019. Oh. And what they just did? They just treated them like the little rascals or something. They're like,

get out of here, little scams. Yeah, they treat them like they're opening a door and the little rascals are falling through with a cup on their ear. Yeah. Yeah. Why, you little.

Also, I just wanted, like, people who are up on surveillance technology and just like spy, like, you know, uh, spying.

I am curiously, is there a database somewhere of just like everything, modern intelligence communities are able to and also doing, like, actively to spy on us. Like, they, they can listen to it. I guess I knew that they could, like, monitor cell phones and just, like, take all that shit in. But, like, that just feels like information we should all have as we're coming to terms with the reality that we're enemies of the state inside an evil empire.

Like, so they could just, like, listen to whatever is happening on our phone. Anytime I see, like, headlines from a security conference and those stuff like, yeah, man, you can just fucking own someone's cell phone remotely with fucking everything. Like, you can open the camera if you want. Yeah, cool. So that,

we're okay with your cell phone surveillance devices. We'll just give you a little bit of a finger wag at that one. Brian, the editor says, yes, Google Wi-Fi sensing. If you want to have a panic attack. So Wi-Fi is radio signals.

And you can use those radio signals to literally see your heart rate where you are in your house. It's kind of terrifying. Oh, because of like how your body is interacting with the frequencies and like giving you like a... Not just because I have myself hooked up to a monitor at all times that I'm sending directly to Google. No, not just that, but it's like you can you can sort of tap into the actual Wi-Fi signal and see who's...

So the Wi-Fi just like can see everything that's happening. your house. You can see you. It can see your heart rate, your breathing. So there's all sorts of stuff to monitor people. That's cool. That's cool, man.

And that is pretty cool. I need my, I need my Wi-Fi router to know if I'm home or breathing heavy. But don't, but don't look out. They try and sell it as a feature as like, hey, it will turn stuff on when you come home.

Don't need that. Yeah, no, I don't want that. Don't need that. Look at this guy. He's a little horny again this weekend. Look at him. Like, this is the work you do at Department of Homeland Security? Yeah, yeah. We monitor how horny people are. This guy's a freak. We're calling it a crush recession. Not as

horny as they were a couple months ago. We're there, I'm guessing there's like other things too where outside of the wire tappings and things like that, they're like, okay, guys, you can't, this, this feels a little, like you're escalating on how you're trying. Yeah, they didn't give specifics because it's like an ongoing intelligence problem. So they're not like, all right, here's what we caught them doing. But they just mentioned who has been targeted. And then we can look at the history of what they have done. Right.

Like, they've surveilled and manipulated American embassy workers within Iran, wiretaps, bribes, and in one particularly fucked up case, they rigged a fake abortion case against a clerical employee as part of a unsuccessful effort to blackmail and ultimately recruit him. These are the kinds of things, too, and like, well, this is documented. Imagine what they're doing.

Yeah, what they're getting away with now. If they're willing to go as far as a fake abortion case to get somebody to flip or, you know, be part of the intelligence operation, God, I can only imagine the kind of stuff that's out there with the fact that they have access to people's cell phones and, you know, ugh. Anyways, they've also tried to recruit Marine Guards for monetary rewards.

So just stuff that I'd be a little suspicious of if it was any country. You know? Just I wonder, like, final straw must have been something. Man. Right. You've been trying to keep, he turned a blind eye, but I guess now we have to up things to critical. Yeah. uh well uh well guys just go back to like an old motorola brick phone yeah you know hello motto

you know hello motto um every time his phone rings his heart rate goes up um all right those are some of the things that are trending on this monday june 8th we are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves.
