Hey, thanks for having me. It took me way too long to realize I was Benny and the Jets. That's fine. I don't know if it took you too long. You got it. You got it. Towards the end of the show, you went, wait, was that Benny and the Jets at the beginning? Then I would have loved that.

Whereas mine, you realized right away. You were like, oh, I can just tell by the first note. That's Steven Tyler. Just the aura of Steven Tyler. That and also all the scarves. Yeah, that I have around my microphone. Yep. And what's going on with your lips?

Did you do something to them to look like Steven Tyler? Oh, right. Just a lot of workouts. A lot of mouth workouts. Yeah. Vanessa, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. But first, we're telling our listeners what we're talking about today on this show where we take a check in with what's on America's mind and what we're thinking and talking about using things such as the headlines, the box office reports, and what's trending on Google and social media. Today, we're going to talk about the picture that is on everybody's mind of what appears to be Justin Bieber eating a burrito like a harmonica, like just sideways, trying to go middle first.

We're also going to talk about the greatest dog that is not currently in this recording booth. It's a two dog day in this recording booth. And then there's a third dog we're going gonna be talking about that is very clever clever girl We're gonna talk about the mail bomb suspect in custody Just seems to be a parody of a rabid MAGA Trump head and we're gonna talk about the cries of false flag that have risen up in the immediate Aftermath of his being taken into custody.

We are going to talk about Clueless getting rebooted and some new trends in drinking brought to you by some of our finest grocers here in America. But first, Vanessa, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Can a human eat a packing peanut? Okay. Oh, well, some you can. Yeah, and I was trying to figure out how to tell.

Because, like, a few nights ago I was talking about how I had once eaten a packing peanut thinking it was a circus peanut candy. What are circus peanuts? They're these disgusting little marshmallow-looking candies. Oh, they're, like, blue and pink and all those different peanuts? They're these disgusting little marshmallow looking candies. Oh, they're like blue and pink. They're orange. Yeah, they're orange and they look like a packing peanut. Oh, that's what a circus peanut is? Yes. In my mind, I thought

it was just peanuts that you bought at the circus. I've also only been to one circus. Same. I went to the all black one my grandparents took me to. That was my only experience at a circus. But yeah, I didn't realize a circus penis was a candy. Yeah, it's a disgusting marshmallow like candy, but I was like just absentmindedly eating, but I didn't realize that it was just somebody's- They had a bowl of packing peanuts because they were going to try a little science experiment

thing with their kid where it's like, what chemicals melt a packing peanut right but I just ate one and I spent forever looking up like was that one of the ones that I can eat or is it just in me forever right wait and wait when you said was it one that I can eat was it more that you wanted to eat one you just want to make sure you had one that wasn't toxic to I just wanted to make sure that when I'm 50 years old and someone opens me up they won't find a packing peanut in questions. Right. And someone's like, what's going on with her? Yeah, because there are the ones that the way I know, the way I figure it out from eating a lot of packing peanuts is you just touch it on your tongue and if it starts dissolving, that's like those are the ones that are like made of I think corn or something.

Yeah. Something weird. And I remember my teacher showed me like in school. It was like high school or something where they're like, and even this, like he ate it in front of class and was like, no. And he's like, these are edible, I guess to a certain extent. But what a terrible thing to teach a group of kids. Yeah. Like this mildly toxic thing can be eaten.

Only one though, or you'll die. Right. Yeah. So that definitely says a lot about me in that I didn't even stop to be like, this isn't a circus peanut. I just kept going. Wait, you ate multiple? No, just one. Just the one, but it wasn't like I took a bite. But you swallowed it. I swallowed it.

You're like, man, circus peanuts sure suck. Oh yeah, no. The foam ones that are, bio foam is what it's called, they're made from grain sorghum and other ones are made from corn starch. And so yeah, they're perfectly edible for humans and pets. Go out and eat as many packing peanuts as you can.

The right ones, the biodegradable ones, not the ones that I think back in the day when they were just styrofoam when we were kids that were just full of CFCs and shit. Considering water made these fizzle, I think I maybe ate an okay for humans packing peanut. Go ahead. If you're in a bind, go to U-Haul or the container store, get you some pagan peanuts and season them with some tajin or something. Yeah. I feel like maybe one of those mixtures they put on popcorn, like a little rosemary butter. Or go to Popeye's, put you some Cajun Sparkle on there, which is basically, I think, just

MSG. Yeah. That's delicious. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm going to say frosting. Frosting sucks. You exhale deep.

I just made an enemy. Hey, show her your Betty Crocker tattoo. Crock gang. Crock gang. No, I just like sugar. Just any form of sugar that I can get directly into my veins. What about those shitty sheet cakes you get from Costco? Like the flagrant, lazy-ass parent ones.

So damn. Really? Yeah, I don't like those. I think it's because I live in Burbank, and I've been spoiled by Bordeaux's, where it's like, my frosting tastes like mangoes. Yeah, exactly. But now, I'm just like, I'm just going to scrape this off and get the stuff in the middle. Yes.

My frosting tastes like frosting to the point that I will get frozen yogurt that is like cake flavored. Well, cake flavored. I like birthday cake flavored stuff. Yeah. Well. But the frosting, like the really aggressively unimaginative. Makes your teeth itchy a little bit. Yeah. There's something about

that where it, like as I got older I was like, this is actually disgusting. Yeah. No yeah that's how you are supposed to react to that the human body is not supposed to like that stuff but also like a cake though is supposed to be delicious you want to look at a cake and be like I want to eat everything on here not like I'm going to scrape

40% of this shit off and just eat the cake part or whatever y'all just help me learn about myself because I had follow through on a packing peanut but I'll taste frosting and be like yucky I know seriously you're like hmm the jury's still through on a packing peanut, but I'll taste frosting and be like, yucky. I know. Seriously. You're like, the jury's still out on this packing peanut. I remember I once got a Superman birthday cake and it had like a plastic Superman logo that you just like put on and took off.

And like that was the biggest disappointment ever was that I couldn't eat that motherfucker. I was like, come on. What did you do with it then? Just threw it out? No, I just carried it around. It's in my pocket to this day. Oh. Never forgiven Kroger.

What is something you think is underrated? Underrated. Putting salt on fruit. Like, I know people do that with tahini and stuff like all the time, but in general, just putting straight salt on fruit is incredible. Which ones? Like, when I was a kid, I would do it on oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, fucking just any like juicy kind of fruit, add a little bit of salt.

It's amazing. Oh, that makes sense because, you know, prosciutto and melon. Exactly. Just doing that same thing. Prosciutto. And your sweet prosciutto di parma and melon. Yeah. But my mom, she would always put salt on apple slices and shit.

That's good. And I think that was, I don't know if that was to keep it from oxidizing or something. I don't know. But I remember hating that. Because also my palate was of a child's back then. It only works on green apples. Oh, really? Because it needs to have a little bit of a tartness to it.

If it's just straight up sweet like a banana, it's just going to be like a weird salty, mushy experience. But if something has a little bit of an acidity to it, the salt is so dope. I don't know, something about it just makes my brain feel like I'm not getting electrolytes, but it does that ooh, Gatorade kind of sensation. Scratching your brain a little. Wait, you don't salt your bananas?

Oh, you don't? We were talking yesterday about 70s cookbooks and how they used to serve bananas with hollandaise sauce. Oh, wrapped in ham. And prosciutto. Yeah. I actually collected those as a kid. Did you?

Those are amazing. I collected microwave recipe books and 50s casserole stuff. I still have a bunch of them. I was obsessed with them as a kid. And you were just... So inevitably, as a kid, when you look through books like that, I'm sure there's a recipe that sticks out in your brain from one of those books. Yeah, tuna aspic.

What's the weirdest one? Tuna aspic? Like jellied tuna? Yeah, but instead of the jellied tuna, it's like, here's a fun shortcut. And I think it was like, Miracle Whip to bring out the green flavor of the lime jello it was suspended in. So it was like lime jello and then some kind kind of like creamy like either like a miracle whip or like a cool whip type thing and then tuna and then a bunch of celery which is even more gross to me because i fucking hate celery and then they put it in like a ring mold and then on the inside it

had like a mayonnaise based dip and that was the one i'm like this is heinous like this this is a housewife's quiet revolt in a time where she couldn't just leave him. She's just like, I'm going to make you eat to death. Yeah, yeah. This will fuck you up. Finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? Myth that people think is true that I know to be false.

Trying to think of a law one. law one oh uh just the if you ask someone if they're a cop and uh they have to say that they are there's too many no never mind i found one i found a better one okay uh my i recently found out that my little brother still thinks that uh if if you do it standing up they won't get pregnant and then i found out a lot of his friends think that. Wait, I'm sorry. That just merely having sex upright will prevent pregnancy? Because the sperm will go down. Oh, well, back in the day, the myth was you just had to jump up and down right after to confuse the sperm.

Just like standing. And he's like, then she just pees real hard. And I'm like, you're all 24. Wait, 24? I thought you'd be like, yo, he's 14. No, no, no, no. They're 24 and there's like 8 of them and they were having this conversation at my mom's house when I came to visit and I was just kind of like, oh my god, this is still happening?

Oh, wow. Yeah, you just gotta pee really hard. You have to pee really hard, is that it? Just like that, huh? Young man? Wow. On the other hand, they do tell you to improve your chances of conception to do a yoga pose with your knees pulled up to your chest.

Oh, okay. I mean, the transitive property. Conceive it with your chest. That movement could affect the chances of conception. Right. Yeah. So, yeah. I mean, it's not 100%, but just hop on one leg and...

No, I'm just joking. Yeah, you know, Jack was a sex ed teacher before he got into comedy. But, like, wow. I just, you know what it is? Like, my cousins, too, my younger cousins, they have very bizarre beliefs around sex. And all it is is a way for them to gaslight themselves into thinking that they're never putting themselves at risk, whether it's for like an STI or impregnating someone. They're like, no, it's all good, dude. It's the mental gymnastics where it's like,

I haven't done anything weird. And it's just kind of like, oh, I'm going to call each and every one of your mothers to take you to the doctor right now because what are you bristling with? Standing up is interesting. Yeah, that's interesting. Like most of y'all are short too. Like that's not even really feasible for most of your kids.

Kids 24. Right. Well, it'll hopefully be more comfortable for their female partners going forward now that they no longer have to have sex standing up. Yes, always. All right, guys, let's get into the stories of the day. And the number one thing on everyone's mind this weekend was uh what the fuck is justin bieber doing with that burrito there's a photo of a man who looks like bieber now see this is the other thing some people say it's not even justin bieber but a person who looks very much like bieber like

a stringy dude uh with like uh just kind of a burnout hair type thing, sitting on a park bench, holding a burrito, and eating, just taking a bite out the middle of the fucking thing. Just looks like he's gumming it, like a harmonica, trying to play it, like a harmonica. But, yeah. Now, I get the thing when people really look at this, and they say, they're using all kinds of things, like, well, where's his earring?

Justin wears an earring. And the person in this picture's uh his knees are too hairy to be justin's now i trust the bieber army out there to really look into don't act like you don't know whether justin has hairy knees miles well i don't i'm just saying there but this this set off all kinds of sleuthing on the internet now whether or not or not that's Bieber is irrelevant to me. It's about what the fuck is this young man doing eating the burrito like that? Yeah. And I read pieces on Esquire magazine where they were saying, well, I get what's going on here because sometimes a burrito can be wrapped real messy and they punch in on the phone and it looks like some of the filling is coming out the top.

Look, we've all had a burrito that's been poorly assembled. Why is it completely unwrapped though? Yeah. But like, I'm still going to power through it and eat it the right way. I've never, I don't know, this just boggles my mind. It could just be as a Californian or something. It's pulling the Jenga block from the middle. We're taking what structural integrity is in that burrito away.

And also like, you're just going to get all sour cream or something in that bite. Yeah. Okay, I know what's happening, actually. He's sharing this burrito with someone else, and he's just like, here, let me cut this in half. And he's going right down the middle. Who's a caveman just to bite through it? That person is like, yo, what the fuck?

No, this definitely appears to be an alien in a human suit who is just like, yes, I enjoy burritos as well, human. Called of men in black on this thing. Yes, for sure. That's what I think would happen if I put most celebrities in food courts. Just watching them try and eat a hot dog on a stick. Well, I mean, it's interesting because when, like usually I say that when a famous person becomes famous, they

are frozen in amber at that point in time because that's when you stop learning. That's when you stop picking up new information. That's why Michael Jordan still wears baggy jeans up to his belly button because that's what was hot in like the 80s

when he got really famous. Or why Eminem only has DVD porn. Right, why Eminem had never heard of the internet when he did that complex interview. But Bieber got famous when he was like zero. So technically, what, 13, 14, I think? Yeah. When he really blew up on YouTube.

But there's been all sorts of interviews with him where he didn't know what Australia was or he didn't know someone was like, do you speak German? And he was like, that's a country, bro. And didn't know a language. Oh, something like that? Yeah, just real basic shit. That's also just being stupid, though, too. If this is Bieber.

Yeah, but I mean same same thing like once you stop having to submit new information into your brain sadly new information sadly that happened at a point in his life where you typically go to school to learn basic shit still yeah yeah some of these other people like oh yeah at least i know what australio is as a language yeah yeah and also when you're, you just have people all around you who are like, yo, that's pretty cool how you eat that burrito, man. You know what's cool, yo. Like, if I started eating a burrito like that,

what would you say to me, Miles? Honestly, I don't think I could say anything. I would be so – I would just start reevaluating my own life. Right. Because I'm like, I trusted this man. Right, right. I started working with him him and now to see him eat a burrito like that,

I would probably just do a long, solemn walk by myself down Hollywood. No, you would, first of all, you would like get other people to come over and be like,

look how cool it is that Jack's eating this burrito like that. This is what I would do. I'll go, hey, Jack, you figure out a new way to eat a burrito or something?

Look it. Hey, everybody get here. Jack eat a burrito like an asshole. You get me on Instagram, you'd do... Yeah, maybe. You would embarrass the shit out of me. You're right. I'm acting like I would be human. And by the way, it would never get to that

point because my wife would see me before I ever got in public eating a burrito like that and I would be divorced. We have hard rules about eating Mexican food. Because Dan, one of the other people who works on this show, he was telling me about the dude from Hot Ones, how he eats a taco from the top down.

Like, what the fuck are you doing? That's ruining the experience. I know. That's what I mean. Like, there are certain things that I'm so rigid about. Like, usually I'm like, do whatever the fuck you gotta do. But there are right and wrong ways to eat a taco and a burrito. Yeah, because like there's certain things

that I am a little bit flexible about or I think are currently, as they are, not as efficient as they should be. For example, a hot dog. Why the fuck aren't we putting the toppings on the bun and then the hot dog on the top? That makes more sense. But tacos, streamlined.

Fucking streamlined. There's nothing you can do to make it more efficient. Unless you have some weird thing. It's like, I just want to get all the slack tortilla off the top and then eat it from the side. But he just eats it straight down. One thing I do remember, though, about Bieber. Yeah, Jack, you're having trouble.

So imagine how you hold a taco like this. Like corn on the cob? Yeah. Not like this from the side and then just two bite that shit like most people do when you get a taqueria taco. He was just eating the top part. Just go to food jail, bro. Seriously. But when I worked at Power,

Justin Bieber came in for an in-studio thing, and we were going to do a bit where he was going to pie one of the DJs with a pie, basically, in the face as a prank. And in the middle of the interview, he just opened up the pie and started eating it with his bare hand, but started breaking off the top crust of the pie. It eating it with his bare hand but like started breaking off the top crust of like the pie it was like a pumpkin pie like you know how there's that little bit of crust on the rim yeah he started breaking that shit off for whatever reason eating that and

then just like finger scooping like around the actual pie crust and just eating the filling he could have just been high as shit right and there's no real good way to eat a pie with your hands that's in a pie. But he just struck me as someone who just indulged himself. Like, it didn't matter where he's like, I want pie, and I don't need you. Like, he could have easily been like, can I get a fork or whatever? He just went, uh, pie. And maybe with the burrito shit, if that is him or if it isn't. Although, man, if it's not Justin Bieber, that guy must be crushing it on Tinder.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, because it's that new style of fashion that I'm seeing become really popular as the images of that new Harmony Crane movie roll out. Oh, what's the new Harmony Crane movie? I can't remember the name of it, but it has something. It's like a surfer movie. That's one of his movies. That's one of his movies.

Did you not know that? No, I think I did know that. If that wasn't already a movie. That is a style. Well, I would describe this as trashy style. Well, it's called like Moon Doggy or something like that. It's something to do with surfers, and it's Matthew McConaughey. And all of the images that roll out have been slowly inspiring this new fashion movement

that you're seeing amongst celebrities Justin Bieber's age, where they're starting to do the oversized Hawaiian shirt and the stringy hair, and a lot of that- The beach bum. Almost like beach bum. A lot of it that I've noticed, because I love fashion history and I love watching where different trends come from, and it's a direct influence of all of the leaked images that are slowly coming out, and also people hanging out with people on the set of the beach bum. Oh.

Like, it's fully influenced this new, like, trash surfer style. Well, yeah, there's, like, yeah, just scum lord style. Like, even, like, with street wear, like, even people like Pete Davidson kind of has, like, he's sort of scum lord adjacent style that he rocks to. Yeah, Zac Efron looks fucking amazing in this. He's got lines in his beard. Really? He's tight.

Yeah. Now I know how I will be dressing. Oh, yeah. Wow. Spring Breakers brought a neon, half-naked neon, I'm going to rob a store kind of aesthetic to streetwear. And Harmony Crinn is slowly influencing how streetwear develops. I mean, because McConaughey looks like

what Guy Fieri thinks he looks like in this photo, like with his flames tee and like blue blocker sunglasses. Yeah. That's literally Guy Fieri's like, yeah, I look like that. Uh-huh.

But also, yeah, fun fact, if you ever watched the movie Belly directed by Hype Williams, Tommy, DMX's character, is playing Gummo in his house constantly in the background. Interesting. It's a Harmony Korine film. Yeah, Harmony Korine is the teenage boy who was discovered by the kids director.

And he was just like, hey man, you seem like a cool kid. Tell me about your friends. And he got him to write the screenplay for kids. And he's been mining the streets ever since. Yep. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. write the screenplay for kids. And he's been mining the streets ever since. Yep. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

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.

Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right?

And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey

that dates back to the 9th century bc bc i didn't realize how old the hot dog was listen to hungry for history as part of the my cultura podcast network available on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever And we're back. And so the mail bomb suspect was taken into custody on Friday morning in Florida. Surprise, surprise. Very quickly. Cesar Sayoc. Junior, yeah.

Cesar Sayoc, as the FBI dude called him. Yeah, Chris Wray really handled that pronunciation. Caesar Sayoc. So he seems to be basically a cartoon of what you would expect based on the targets. Oh, yeah. And clearly, first we found out, oh, they have someone in custody. And then the images started coming out of this van that he was driving around in.

And you're like, what is going on? Because everything is basically a Trump meme or some kind of far-right propaganda thing. Youth soccer. Yeah. Also, my favorite sticker of all was youth soccer prospects for Trump, which is my favorite construction of Trump supporter is some obscure group for Trump. Right. Right. Like Christian dads who vape for Trump or something like that. But the all the like all of the images when you look, you're like, oh, of course, before we saw us of a very common thread with all of the targets of people who received the bombs. And then when you look, you're like, oh, you have a sticker with Hillary Clinton in actual

crosshairs on your van. Yeah. Or Obama or CNN. It was Van Jones. But it was just like, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And it's a van. Yeah. And it's a van.

Right. And he also ended up having like Facebook accounts. Now, they don't know if these are his, but these Facebook accounts, he was the only follower of. And like there was a lot of overlap where one page was literally just called, the first name was Kill George and the last name was Soros. Another one was like Kill All and the last name was like Socialists. And there's a lot of common imagery between those Facebook pages and like what is on his

Twitter account, which is like a very dark account where you could say, oh, this person intends to do harm to progressives or Democrats or whoever's against Trump. Right. Now, the fact that he is a cartoon of what you would expect has caused a lot of people on the right to immediately claim. Well, they were claiming this before we even saw this dude, but they've been claiming false flag from Jump Street, basically. And now that it appears to be a mentally ill person who is basically, yeah, a cartoon caricature of a Trump supporter,

they're even more like, okay, this is just too obvious. Oh, oldest trick in the book. Blame it on the crazy guy, guys. Come on. That's all over. R. The Donald actually got into the idea that this guy was from Broward, which is also where the Parkland shooter is from. And as we all know, the Parkland shooter is clearly a Democratic operative who was just trying to help gun control.

and Department of Justice full of Trump appointees were all in on constructing this vast conspiracy to bomb Trump's opponents so that people would hate Trump, their boss. Just the idea that this is too obvious is mind boggling because this guy does not appear to be a fan of subtlety. No. Just based on his van and... Well, I mean, the evidence is so overwhelming. And his motive is literally

plastered all over the car he's driving in. If someone tells you who they are, believe them. Yes. Absolutely. And that's usually something you tell teenagers about like their friends but this is a no this is they're saying exactly what their intentions are and it's happening yet we're still surprised right the yeah again this is just like you know it's it's hard to for them they they cannot operate in a world where they've done anything wrong or there's any

that there's any possibility that the rhetoric they use or the policies they pursue could be viewed as negative this does moral this seems like a new level of dangerous to me that they are physically you know attacking or trying to attack and just not being like bright enough engineer doug was saying, well, the Unabomber, they never caught him. Like, what was this guy doing differently? And it's like everything. Like this guy did not have the knowledge of like how to do what he was

trying to accomplish. Well, the other thing is like, you know, granted we're here saying, well, well, it looks like,

you know, from when we saw the targets are like, Oh, this seems like someone, maybe a far right person or someone who supports the agenda of the the far right and then you see the van and you're like okay i'm not here saying that donald trump told this person to do it i can very much see a world where this person is mentally ill he happens to gravitate towards this media diet and that has like spurred this on like people on the right or at least the people who are trying to defend this.

They can't even go as far as to say just on the on the evidence alone to say it looks like this person may have been a follower of the right wing media. Yeah. At the very least. You don't have to you don't have to say by admitting that doesn't mean you're saying, oh, Republicans are responsible for this. Admitting that doesn't mean you're saying, oh, Republicans are responsible for this. Although, let's be real, when you look at all the shit that Trump says and that people on Fox News say, this seems like you're clearly those voices in your head are coming from somewhere. Yeah, because there are pictures of him at rallies, which we can assume is where the indoctrination started. Yeah. Well, I think it's also a further indictment of him being one of them is that they see him and they're like, well, it must be a false flag because he is one of them. They don't want to be blamed for this because,

you know, he's a guy who is like Ben Shapiro and like the people who are, you know, far right, mega chuds, you know? And it's. Well,

right. And Ben Shapiro, he was out here being like, Oh wow. Blame, blame the right again. When he's he's someone himself has like embroiled in a controversy where his rhetoric clearly was being consumed or his podcasts or ideas are being consumed by a guy who shot up a mosque. Right. So Rush Limbaugh is pointing to the fact that the stickers are placed too evenly on this person's van and not sun faded to prove that it's a setup.

And Rush Limbaugh is like a mainstream right wing media personality. Like he is feeding them their thoughts. He's a thought leader in their world. their thoughts. He's a thought leader in their world. And yeah, I just don't, I think this is extremely, extremely dangerous. Well, yeah, because they're being fed that there aren't going to be any consequences

and we're going to do backflips to get you out of it if you do. Because we've seen it both with the Proud Boys when they assault someone. We've seen it now. We keep seeing someone just barely slip through because they don't want to even be associated with them. So they'll do the gymnastics it takes to excuse it. And it's making it so much easier for them to step further and further across the line and cause harm.

Yeah, because the further we get away from at the very least being objective enough to say, at the very least they could say, you know what? At the very least, being objective enough to say, at the very least, they could say, you know what? Clearly, this is a sign that this like left-right polarization is leading to this kind of thing would be like the minimum you could say to be a humane person. This racist and violent rhetoric is translating into real-world violence, whether it's Heather Heyer being run over by a car, whether it's mail bombs being sent, or white supremacists in Kentucky pulling up into a Kroger and just shooting black people at random while telling another white person outside, oh, don't worry, don't shoot me, I won't shoot you because whites don't kill whites. We're seeing – That happening yesterday. Yeah, there are real – In Louis yesterday. Yeah, there are real- In Louisville. Or last week, yeah.

Last week, okay. There are real stakes for people of color and people on the left, clearly from their, you know, their rhetoric on the left is about moral outrage because we aren't doing what's right by human beings. Yeah. Versus like trying to dehumanize people on the right

and saying, oh, they're all like animals that are going to kill you or whatever. But what we're seeing right now is there's tremendous follow through with people on the far right in terms of acting out this kind of violence. And like you say, when people show themselves to be who they are, we should believe them much like a woman in New Jersey who like received a bunch of face threatening Facebook messages from a man in Kentucky who was coming after her children who were half black and saying like oh they should be hung like I'll kill these kids blah blah blah these you know M words deserve to die so she called the police in Kentucky he's like I don't know why this guy came at me blah blah they sent

a straight state trooper to his house he had a bunch of guns in his car and he was pulling out with plans to go shoot up some schools yeah and like it also ties into when people are like oh the internet isn't real what people say on the internet isn't real it's just a troll it's just a troll it's like how much can you say that before it actually starts becoming actual consequences well clearly not even in this level yeah because this man is out here making threats constantly on twitter and even on facebook i don't know i don't know that's where like that's why it gets dangerous because now they'll never be able to look at what they're doing and just say, no, this has nothing to do with us. We have no hand in this.

And I don't know what's going on with these people because nothing we say would remotely resemble something that would motivate something. Yeah, like I wish the worst thing that I could possibly be afraid of is someone yelling at me while I'm eating. Like that's a breezy ass consequence to pay. I'll take my shit to go. Yeah. That's, I would much rather deal with that than wondering, is this dude with a Pidgeotto

haircut gonna merc me today? Like, that I would much rather be yelled at over food. Get your throat slit at the BART station? Exactly. Like, what the fuck? But I mean, this double standard has been going on for a long time. Yeah. That the media and just the mainstream is much more forgiving towards people who have right wing views, who are racist, acting out of racism like Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City bombing. Compare that to September 11th. Like those are both heinous acts of terrorism, but we did not like launch a bunch of wars to fight white supremacist nationalist militias following the Oklahoma City bombing. learning what it's like to have this double standard of,

like, you yell at someone, they're like, whoa, that is a dangerous, angry person, but they can, like, shoot you, and that's considered okay. Like, people of color have been dealing with that double standard for a long time, and people on the right are very practiced at using that to their advantage. Yeah, it's a lot of, like, well, you're getting emotional, so you're clearly unhinged. Right, right.

That's where I'm like, I don't know how this plays out. And we truly do not know what the motive was for this person. I mean, granted, we can speculate wildly based on what we're looking at. But I think in all fairness, to be objective, you say, let's just say we don't know, right? And then at what point, though, at what moment will the country arrive at where you will actually hear something from people on the right and extreme right begin to own up to the fact that maybe something has to change a little bit in some way? Or are we just fine like marching towards fire trump has said that things need to change cnn

needs to start being nicer to him right uh that's how he's taking it i mean it's i i honestly don't know that's why i've i've come to a point where i don't i can't imagine any scenario where either side just sort of capitulates and was like well turns out we were wrong like I just don't I don't think it's gonna happen yeah and then we'll reach that breaking point and see what happens next yeah cause like at protests and shit like that I've resorted to the silence of the lambs technique where like

if I say my name and make myself a human as many times as I can will you not harm me like hi my name's Vanessa I'm 26 years old I have a mom like how many times do I have to try and make myself a human to you but I can't do that to all of them in mass

I can't do that to every single one on a one-on-one basis that's impossible well one good thing has come out of this I have discovered our info warrior rides which is a great subreddit that's getting a lot of love because they had posted pictures of this dude's van uh in the past oh he was our people were already like i think he

was already there yeah and actually so one of my friends to kind of fly in the face of rush's uh conspiracy theory one of my friends was lives in Florida and was like, holy shit, my brother's friend texted him a picture of that dude's van like last week and was like, look at this lunatic. So that van has been out there for a while, unfortunately, Rush. But this subreddit is amazing.

One of the pictures is a pickup truck with a giant handwritten sign on the back that says, Ancient Egyptians ate animal crap for medicine, and now USA legalized, quote, anal sex? Wow. God is judge. So, you know. Okay. Oh, yeah.

Well. There's one like that in Burbank that says, I miss Reagan in the back, And I've never seen a car have so much debris fling flung at it. What does it say in the back? Oh, I miss Reagan. It says like I miss Reagan and then like a Trump 2020 and then like a bunch of other just like shit on the on the back. Yeah. And then like something about someone's getting student of the month. But I've seen that truck three times in Burbank.

It's clearly someone in the area. Right. And then two out of those three times, I've seen someone just fling trash into the back of it. It's funny. In Burbank, too, I saw somebody throw up a Trump 2020 sticker. And I saw it. I was like, eh, it's Burbank.

I can kind of see that. And then the next day when I walked by it, someone just fucking just crossed the shit out of it and wrote, fuck Trump, all this other stuff. And I was like, oh, OK. See, there's the neighborhood. See, that's the violent of the left. There's the violent of the left. That's the violence of the left.

That's why I love living in Burbank because we're a bunch of spooky Halloween weirdos that are just trying to push these other dudes out. Right, right. It's like, let us have our Halloween stores and brown people. Oh. Not on my watch.

All right. Get off my lawn. That is amazing. We were talking about how grand torino is that the clint is having like a second coming type like a second coming of relevance in this new mega era and now like there's a movie coming from clint eastwood that is basically the sequel to that with robert redford as the angry old man, right? Oh, wait. But what's the one where...

Oh, wait. No, it's Clint Eastwood as the angry old man. Wasn't there one with Clint Eastwood where he's a drug mule? Where he's the mule. Yeah. What a fucking weird guy. I don't know. Whatever.

Yeah. Was this script... Wasn't the Gran Torino script written by a dude who was his first screenplay ever, and he wrote it piecemeal in a bar over two years or something? I don't know. I'm pretty sure... Yeah. I think it was Gran Torino. It was just a guy who had this idea and then

was like, I gotta get someone in Hollywood to see this. Yeah, and Clint Eastwood was like, I'm gonna use this to use as many slurs on camera as I want. And even invent new ones for Asian people. Yeah. That was the part I was impressed with in Gran Torino. I had heard slurs for Asian people I had never heard before. He went for some deep cuts. Yeah. My favorite was when he just Gran Torino, I had heard slurs for Asian people I had never heard before.

He went for some deep cuts. Yeah. My favorite was when he just called the woman Dragon Lady. Dragon Lady. That's lazy, but I like that it's so minimal. It's a minimalist racial slur. It's a minimalist racial slur. Yeah, but I think this one is directed.

It's called The Mule, and it is- Directed by Smirnoff Vodka. Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. So that's going to be his first movie that he's starred in and directed since Gran Torino, I think was the last time he appeared on camera. He was like, this allows me to get in the middle of the debate of like, I think he's like an old farmer who's like now needs to turn to drug smuggling over the border to make ends meet. Because come on, let's face it.

It's like a lazier breaking bad. Old white men are really the victim of the international drug trade. Yeah, well, you know, I think after he took that L at the RNC with that empty chair bit, he's been trying to reclaim his credibility. But just back to the thing about Trump's reaction also to the whole bombing situation was like, you know, on Friday morning, 3.30 in the morning, this dude's tweeting shit about how—

When all smart tweets are written. Yeah, exactly. About something about, you know, all this talk about this bomb stuff. He's like, he's distracting people from politics and like it's you know dampening the the gop wave that's coming or whatever and like being so dismissive about it with the bomb stuff is just it's it's just disheartening but at this point how can we get more disheartened but then when he spoke at the white house he had a very measured scripted thing where he just said the bare minimum to not like be totally inflammatory

and I was just thinking like if he had even for a moment acknowledged the situation for what it was people's heads would have fallen off and he probably would have seen a surge in his approval ratings had even imagine if he went out there and said you know I realize there's a lot going on right now there's clearly we're divided more than ever and you know, I realize there's a lot going on right now. Clearly, we're divided more than ever. And, you know, maybe we all have a part to play in it and we have to do something about it. Maybe I have something. Maybe I have a part to play. Even if he said, maybe I have a part to play in it, I feel like I would have just fainted from shock.

Yeah. Because even just showing a shred of self-awareness would have helped the situation in some way. I mean, granted, he's going to do completely the opposite. Yeah, but he's accelerating in the opposite direction. Yeah, no, 100%. Because he knows that that's what his base wants to hear, and people are more likely to vote the more angry they get, and it's just this chunk and how excited they get

versus that chunk and how excited they get, and getting excited means moving in opposite directions. Yeah. Yeah, we're fucked. Hey, but red wave though. GOP wave. Yeah.

Coming at you. Cleopatra. That's another thing that says our bomber guy was tweeting on Twitter. Yeah. So many like red wave memes. I wonder if he knows

that that's what most women use to talk about being on their period. Yes. And that's good because we will be talking about Clueless, the reboot, later on. Yay!

I'm surfing the Crimson Wave. I've got to haul ass to the ladies. It is pretty crazy because the FBI is now saying that these were not like inert devices. These were not like toy bombs that were sent as a joke to spook the Democrats. These were actual bombs the fbi saying so like these were attempted assassinations and he's referring to them as bomb stuff that's pretty

that's pretty crazy well that's the thing it's just we can't agree on a baseline that terrorism is bad right not anymore where is that where do we go from there yeah that's the question vote all these people out yeah that's the most you can. And don't let this blue wave shit get you fucking relaxed because. It ain't over. Granted, things are tightening. But yo, you know what? Just please be on alert and drag at least, you know, as there are many projects. Get three friends to vote.

Get four friends to vote. Do a family vote group chat. That's what I did. Yeah. With a lot of my family members that don't really understand some of the policies and stuff like that happening in their neighborhoods. We just did a group chat and I had them give me their zip codes

and I broke it down to easy stuff for them. There you go. Yeah, exactly. If you have to be the smart person for your family, pull up and be the smart person for your family. I organized a family reunion and I explained measures. There you go. All right, we're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered.

And sort of the opposite of Justin Bieber, I would say, is a dog that we learned about on Facebook. Sort of the opposite. Sort of, well, in that they're clever about their fast food eating.

Whereas Justin Bieber is clueless about his ability. Hey, if it's even Bieber. If it's even Bieber. If it's even Bieber. You know, if it's even Bieber. So this dog, people were talking about this dog that was always at the McDonald's. They were giving the dog scraps of their McDonald's because they assumed it was a stray.

And then Betsy Reyes just tweeted, I guess guess or posted on facebook a picture of her dog and was like look stop giving my fat ass gold digging dog mcdonald's she just sneaks out every night and goes and basically cosplays as a stray dog outside of mcdonald's McDonald's to get fed burgers. The actual post is amazing because she has had it. She goes, this is a quote from her Facebook. If you see my dog at the McDonald's on Shields, quit feeding her fat ass. She's not even a stray dog. She's just a gold digging ass bitch that be acting like she's a stray.

So people will feel bad for her and feed her burgers. And the picture of the dog. That time I put a burn book. Yeah. The picture of the dog is like, it's just such a strong, well-fed looking dog. It's just like, yo. That dog is just on plenty of protein in that dog's diet. Oh, hell yeah.

That's a beefy baby. Yeah. Her name's Princess. Her name's Princess. And that face, honestly, like I would feel bad. Like, I don't know. baby yeah her name's princess name's princess and that face honestly like i would feel bad like i don't know you know like you said jack like you know how wolves or whatever how dogs became domesticated because they knew how to like get near us and get food or whatever yeah i see that

whole that whole idea that evolution in this dog's face because even though it looks well fed i'm like you know let's give us some fries or something right you know yeah we all picture our dog like if our dog runs away that it's like fending for itself out in the wilderness. Fuck no, man. It's just going to the nearest corner where there's like a place where people are giving away food and begging for food. Yeah.

I mean, well, dogs are treated better than most people in this country. Right. I had a dog that used to fake a limp to get me to pick her up. No. And I'd be like, oh, baby, what's wrong? She was just fine. Yeah. And she learned she was just fine yeah and she learned she could just do that to everyone yeah wow like i didn't even realize it until i

went to the vet and the vet was like i'm not gonna charge you because your dog is playing um can i have one moment with your dog you need to knock this shit off this is gonna get expensive for vanessa play yourself i was, what's wrong with her? And it's like, no, she just learned how to manipulate your empathy. Or just do the wimp. She would like whimper and like do a little hobble. And as soon as I came near her, like, oh, I'm going to pick you up. She would just straighten out and she was fine.

Wow. Bitch. Wow. But see, that's funny, right? Because like, I wonder if the owner was just so sick of seeing people give a shit about her dog or something. Like, what was it that was pissing the owner off that she had to go on Facebook and be like, she's a gold digging ass bitch. Like, what?

I bet it's harder to keep the dog in the house when people are feeding it. Like, the dog is very motivated. Right. She knows exactly what she's doing. She's like, these motherfuckers are going to give me burgers. And so this person's just like, please stop encouraging her. Well, she has to clean up burger shits. Right, that's true.

That's the other thing. Yeah. You know what? Stop feeding princesses. That shit paints the driveway. You will never get the silhouette of it out ever again. Oh, no, yeah. You need to call up, you know, Ecolab. It haunts your pavement. And get the pressure washer out.

Let's talk about Clueless, guys. Yay. It's coming back. I love that movie so much. It's coming back. You what? I love that movie so goddamn much. Me too.

Oh, man. And I'm not, are you mad that there's going to be a reboot? I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I want more. Yeah, because the team behind it is great. It's the producer is Tracy Oliver, who wrote Girls Trip.

And then one of the writers from Tracy Oliver, who wrote Girls Trip. And then one of the writers from GLOW, Markeeta Robinson. Yo, I just feel like youth culture has changed so much, even in the last five years, that a Clueless reboot, like a refresh on that story, I think could be a great film. It'll be great. And not just that. The thing that I really love about Clueless is that it looked at teenagers and then under the telescope of like empathy and love yeah the microscope of like it it looked at them in a way where it wasn't they're just teenagers but it was like oh man they actually like genuinely give a shit about each other and

want to like be better people yeah yeah and i want to see that now because i feel like especially now we're so harsh on the younger generation that I want to see something that it's a love letter to them and all of who they are. Oh, absolutely. Because didn't Amy Heckerling embedded herself with teenagers prior to even writing the script? That's absolutely what it's going to take. Either that or let a 14-year-old direct it.

Or just hop on Instagram. Right. All those IG stories. I mean like, okay, so everyone has face tattoos and is fucked up on Xanax? Right. Okay. But we need somebody who has a ton of empathy. It needs to be written and directed by a woman again.

And it needs to be somebody who's willing to embed themselves with young women and can like understand the nuances of their life. You know what would also be an amazing movie though too? A Clueless Reboot written and directed by Clint Eastwood. Could you imagine? There's just one grizzled teen in a plaid miniskirt just kind of like, you need to stay off the internet. Yeah, and begging for socialism or some shit.

Yeah, no, they would all get sold into slavery in Mexico and then their grandfather would have to come and save them. Right, because you're all on that Molly's or whatever. How many Molly's did you have? Right. I can't say this sentence out of context of people like, but I love

teenagers. I love teenagers. Teenagers now especially, like I was at Popeyes the other day and there was three teenage girls behind me and I eavesdropped on their conversation because I'm that person. And the three of them were talking about ideas that they had to promote businesses owned by black women after high school. And it was like three girls and like one had her lavender lipstick and the other one had like her green eyeshadow and they had like their fuzzy pens. But they were just like, all right. So I found out that through this and this, we can use this to Instagram to boost this company. And she was like, there's this lipstick brand that I really like.

And if we use this model, we could do like they were all like 16, 15 years old. And these were like their plans that they had. And I was like, oh, my God, you are so much cooler and more empathetic than I was at your age. At that age, you know what I was putting my time into? Finding a fake ID that would pass a black light test

and scan. Yeah. I fucking put my heart and soul into that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was meeting shady people downtown to figure it, to get the technology.

And meanwhile, wow, you know what? Maybe we're the worst generation. I know. No, for sure. My fear about this version of Clueless Meanwhile, wow. You know what? Maybe we're the worst generation. I know. No, for sure. My fear about this version of Clueless is that this generation is too much smarter than other generations. Isn't there? And they're going to be hard to capture for somebody who's not part of their generation.

Right. Because I feel like there's some surveys that are like, uh-oh, Gen Z. Better watch out for these kids. Millennials, they've kind of figured out how to be people. Gen Z, though, what are we going to do with those kids? But I don't know. Whatever. I think they're funnier than anybody in my youth group growing up was.

Because with shit like Vine and YouTube, it kind of put kids in the seats of content creator chairs where they were able to teach themselves how to edit. They taught themselves what was funny, what worked. They taught themselves timing. And it's so interesting to see 16-year-olds funnier than most adults I know trying it for like 20 years. Right, exactly. And they're just like, people are out here being like,

what the fuck does yeet mean? I thought you were saying yeet. The fuck? All right, guys, let's talk about Costco they're just like people are out here being like what the fuck does yeet mean the fuck alright guys let's talk about Costco and Kroger yeah yo big

there's something about gigantic wine things that I feel like people love their fucking wine yeah and we talked about

how rosé is a scam or whatever people don't give a fuck because rosé is here to stay I was on that episode and I drank it last night yeah you know

what kind of rosé did you have I don't know there was a horse on it oh was it a fuck because rosé is here to stay. I was on that episode and I drank it last night. Yeah. You know? What kind of rosé did you have? I don't know. There was a horse on it. Oh, was it? It was bottles of rosé. Horse rose? Yeah. Yeah.

No, I don't know. The bottle was shaped like a horse? A horse, yeah. I think you're drinking a horse's blood. So, yeah. Right now, there's an image of a- Different horse. Oh.

This one had two horses on it. Superducer Sophie out here doing a lineup of wine bottles. There's a lot It had two horses on it. Super producer Sophie out here doing a lineup of wine bottles. Sophie just showed her the rosé horse bottle that she drank last night. In the form of her forearm tattoo. Costco is selling a

fucking four foot tall wine glass. That's gigantic. They say it's for decorations. Bub rub. It's gigantic. And they say, it's for decorations. Okay, bub rub. It's only for decorations. Now,

I don't know if I can see, like if you have that as decor, you're clearly trying to communicate something to everybody. You're a dance mom.

Yes. You're a dance mom. 100%. I mean, even the picture where they show what you're supposed to put in it

is just filled with wine corks it's like it's even then the apartment of a wild alcohol and again i think this is only like again another thing that i saw last week on the takeout they were they were showing shedding light on kroger uh in certain markets are selling like their own like 16 point like like like 20 ounce cans of wine basically. But it's marketed as like enough for four servings so you can split with your friends. And it's like, motherfucker, ain't nobody splitting a can of wine.

You're facing that whole thing. Yeah. You're drinking it. Can of wine. You are pounding that thing with tears streaming down your face before you go into a nightclub that you think your ex might be at. Yeah. Okay. I know this look.

But again, with that and also a four foot wine glass, you know it's a matter of time before this becomes like the frat party thing where it's like, dude, do you have the four-foot wine glass? Right. Are we going to drink some whatever the fuck out of that thing? Yeah. I don't know. Just frat guys with two bottles of rosé duct tape to their hands.

Oh. Have we evolved Edward Forty hands yet? Edward rosé hands? Yeah. We need to. I don't know. That's too much sugar, though. That's a lot of sugar.

To drink a lot of wine. Yeah. Like that much wine. The hangovers. But you could only take that hangover when you are like college age. Oh, yes. Yes. Trying that shit afterwards, you're begging to have your brain explode.

Yeah, because I didn't try my first Four Loko until I was 25, and I was like, oh, this is why young people like this, because there's so much sugar in it. Was it pre-ban or post-ban? It was post-ban, so it wasn't as bad as it would have been, but it's still a lot of sugar. Because I was like, oh, this tastes like a Jolly Rancher. And then an hour later, I am crying in someone's car

as they're begging me to eat a bag of chips. As they're begging you to explain who you are. Yeah. Where they're just like, here's a bag of tortilla chips. Eat the entire thing. And then get out of my car. Please tell me where you live.

Just take that. Leave us alone. Mister. Mister. Get me out of here. Oh, yeah. I don't know what it is. I love Big One.

He's like, who can we call? I'm like, I don't know. Does she have a Big One I'm just like who can we call I don't know does she have a medical bracelet or something the medical bracelet was here's an empty can of Four Loko I ruined my life

I turned into a bracelet oh man yeah Four Loko is something else you could drink like half a can and be in a whole other dimension destroy

like I woke up I now understand what my thought process was but i woke up with panty liners in my shoes uh okay and i like it it took like six seconds of detective deducing where i was like all right clearly my shoes hurt because my ankles were rubbed red right so at one point i looked at my purse and i was like, oh, it has an adhesive. It's soft and fluffy and moisture. Oh, that's kind of smart. Yeah.

Lister pad. Like, good job, For Loco, Vanessa. You found, you saw a problem and you solved it. You're like fucking MacGyver and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. But I just woke up and I'm like, why are my shoes crunchy? Like, oh, that's what it is. There's a whole world of these products for people who aren't trying to fool themselves. Like, we reported on this. Bag of Crack reported on it. There's a whole world of these products for people who aren't trying to fool themselves.

Like we reported on this, Bag It Cracked reported on it. We did an article about the best products that are sold for people who are just like, yep, I'm an alcoholic. And we're moving on. Like there's these wine bladders that are just like, are hidden in your shirt. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like a catheter, you know. But don't put wine in there. Yeah, or liquor. Fill that thing up with bourbon. I remember outside lands, I snuck one of those things in, and I was very, very enthusiastic at a Hall & Oates concert. There's the binoculars. It's just a... Yeah. Yeah. yeah wow what else the things we have amazon

tried to suggest to me because i had bought one of those little things where you put it down your tub and it keeps you from slipping yeah slip mat and uh they suggested well if you bought one of those then clearly you want a wine glass holder for the shower that you stick to your shower wall so you can put the stem in it. For drunk showering. For drunk showering. Or drunk bath. Because you know, there's probably some sophisticated algorithm behind that where there is some

bizarre overlap, you think, where they're like, you're slipping in the shower? You're drinking in the shower? You want a four foot wine glass? It's not that sophisticated, man. It's just like. You want to make your own pruno at home? Yeah. All right. Let's get into a little Bloid Watch.

Bloid Watch. The National Enquirer has gotten back to the business of just making Maga Nation look good again. For people who aren't daily listeners, the National Enquirer, most tabloids are published by David Peckar, who is one of Trump's main homies. So most of the headlines you see when you're checking out at the grocery store are basically Trump state propaganda.

Yeah. And also, yeah, he also made the really great Puff Piece entire magazine for Mohammed bin Salman. Yes. Was also a David Pecker joint. Yeah. But yeah, The Enquirer, world exclusive, Sean Hannity. What nobody knows about me.

Yes. And the things that nobody knows about Sean are not that he's racist. Oh. Surprisingly, he's like surprisingly not racist. Oh, right, right, right.

He's like super woke. I actually have a black friend. He's, yeah, exactly. He's really good at karate and he gets good ratings and I forget what else. It's just all flattery. He's really good at karate, and he gets good ratings, and I forget what else. It's just all flattery bullshit. It's all bullshit like rags to riches.

I'm not a slumlord, contrary to what you've seen legally and from people who live in my properties. Yeah. But yeah, it's a nice little piece. And I think also because they've clearly ramped down the Trump talk in some of these things. It used to be like you would get some kind of weird Hillary or Trump adjacent story, but I guess this is pretty Trump adjacent because they're saying like, he's like the young God because he has Trump's ear. Right.

Next, let's see here. The Kardashians. Oh, finally their show is being canceled. Life and style. After 15 seasons, $1.5 billion empire collapses. Now, when you go inside, I'm expecting tales of horror and tragedy. First of all, the show's not being canceled. They're just saying that there was a ratings dip on an episode.

On an episode. Okay, fine. Then later on the cover, it also says, inside family's massive debt. Oh, wait, I thought everybody's making bucks. You go in, they're just talking about that time Kanye was like, I was broke. And then Kim paid for it. And then so that's how they tangentially, well, I guess technically that is the family, and he was in debt. So, again, I think this is just like wish fulfillment where people are like, you know, I wish this show ends.

And then it's like Kylie Jenner. My mom and Kim are too old. Oh, wow. Are they? Kylie. Are they, Kylie? Come on. I mean, your mother gave you everything you have.

Right. What else? What else? What else? Jennifer Garner. Oh, yeah. Is with a burger lord. Yeah.

This is so, this is at last Jen moves on. In love with a regular Joe, dad of two, owns a burger company. Wouldn't it be poetic justice if this is the dude who owned Jack in the Box? Because that's Ben Affleck's

favorite burger place. Oh my God. And he's like, what are you doing to me, Jen? Now I can't even go to my favorite burger place so I think I know you.

He just finds what order is his favorite and names it the I moved into your house relax. Yeah, the fries are, I'm into your house deluxe. Yeah, the fries are I'm fucking your wife,

bruh. You're like, what? Fine, I'll take a your side of the bed is comfortable double shake.

But again, it's just it's all speculation that it's a guy who owns a burger chain. He seems nice enough. And they've been seen together

or what's going on? I think so. Were they seen together, Sophie? No? We don't even know. Sophie read the article and still doesn't even know. Because all this shit is, it's literally just read the cover and know nothing matters on the inside. Yeah. And it's all just things to get your eye while you're checking out at the newsstand.

Another thing, the Globe, Tom Cruise's midlife meltdown about how he wants to leave the church because he can't see young Suri Cruise anymore, his daughter with Katie Holmes. That sounds suspiciously sane to me. Well, that's the one consistent Tom Cruise Scientology story that we always see in the tabloids that seems to always be consistently brought up. Now, I don't know if that's just because it's logical that someone, why wouldn't you miss your daughter who you've not seen in a while?

But they're saying like, that's what's causing him to want to maybe leave the church. Right. So he can see his daughter. And I mean, real, really, this is really the real news I'm looking at. The National Examiner. Okay. Now, I don't know if, what you think about the King of Pop, but if you miss him, there's good news

because Michael Jackson is back from the motherfucking dead, y'all. Now, when you look inside here. The National Examiner is the wild one, right? Yeah. Yeah, and it's always like the cover stories only appeal to the elderly because it's always like, who really shot JR or whatever? Right. We found out.

Anyway, but because it's Reba McIEntire on here, Jane Seymour. Reba McEntire, bride at 63. Yeah. Jamie Lee Curtis, real hidden whore. She doesn't eat those yogurts. Michael Jackson, Back from the Dead. Now, it's obviously just all bullshit, but my favorite insert is right here.

He was revived 18 months ago and secretly working on songs and dance moves. Wait, what? That's his priority? And he's like, damn. He's like, so no one's moonwalking? What's this flossing dance?

Do I have to start doing the shoot dance? What's Fortnite? Again, he was revived 18 months ago because he was in a hyperbaric chamber. I mean, I don't know. So you're not buying it? Maybe. I don't know.

I mean, I buy that he's working on dance moves. Yeah. But no, this is just, I don't know. That's crazy. That is amazing. People back from the dead? Yeah. Really?

Come on. Come on, National Examiner. The first thing I want to do? Work. Yeah. Yeah. Get back to work. What the dead? Yeah. Really? Come on. Come on, National Examiner. The first thing I want to do, work. Yeah. Yeah. Get back to work. What the fuck? I mean, you know, I guess they have a very busy thing, because while they're also hawking

like Coca-Cola musical carousels that are like the things nightmares are made of. Yeah. They also just- That just looks like it belongs on the table behind a sectional couch. Yeah, or hey, messed up moron jumps into holy water. Okay. Was he saved? That sounds like a thing for an old grandma that she would believe,

because it's combining drug use and then disrespecting the church. You would clutch your old pearls reading that one. And firefighters bring the heat. So there's also a hot firefighters thing. You see somebody? Why are there so many animals? I don't know. I don't know.

That one dude's covered in meerkats. Oh, you know why? It's because it's from Down Under. They're featured in the 2019 Australian Firefighters Catalog. Yes. These guys, wow. Australia, y'all are doing your thing. Look at this young man

With the meerkats It's the humidity What? It's the humidity Right It's not the heat Oh goodness Alright guys

This little piggy Is an arm full of cuteness Oh you done good National examiner You done good Vanessa It's been a pleasure Having you

Where can people find you? You can find All my show dates on VanessaGritten.com and at Ness Gritten on all social medias. Awesome. Is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Of mine? Or anybody else's? I'm going to give one of mine just because I want it to get to him.

But I was watching Titanic the other day, and I just tweeted out Billy Zane walks so Zac Efron can run. And I just want someone to get that to Billy Zane so that he knows I see him. And also to Zac Efron so he knows whose career he should be modeling his off of. Miles, where can people find you? Oh, you can find me playing fucking Red Dead Redemption 2. Pretty much ruined my life. I don't know how many of y'all play video games, but

if the quality of the show suffers for the next few weeks, know it's because I am lacking sleep because I'm living in a fantasy world in the Wild West and just hunting birds. I've mostly just been hunting because that's just how I play the game. But if you're interested in social media

where I'll probably be maybe uploading a pathetic photo of myself playing or to Twitter, Instagram at miles of gray. A tweet I like one is OK. This is kind of like sort of an obscure thing. I was talking. I tweeted about how I liked the like the one of the stickers on the on the bomber guy's van was soccer prospects, youth soccer prospects for Trump. And then people started being like, oh, do you think, because he's apparently a big U.S. soccer fan too. Someone was asking, like, is he a Juergen Klinsmann

or a Bruce Arena guy? And those are two different managers. And someone said more like, and Garbage Pail Kid at Mother Furby said more like Juergen Klinsmann. Am I right? I like that. Now, a tweet that I do like is from Louis Vertel. And he said, every eyelash you ever made a wish on

grew up to be Timothee Chalamet. That's, oh my God. That's so good. That's what happened to him? Yeah, isn't he just whimsical? He's so, what dreamy, dreamy angsty eyes. Yeah. You can follow me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. Whimsical? I think so. Yeah. Oh, what dreamy, dreamy angsty eyes. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

You can follow me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. Some tweets I've been enjoying. Lano tweeted, never use the bathroom on your break. Do that on company time. Yep. Yeah. Take the shit, too. Rat Mike tweeted, girls who look good with a middle part are the most powerful people

on the planet. I'm fascinated. And Nick Weiger. Sophie really flexing with her middle part right now. I know. Look at that. Nick Weiger tweeted. There's a picture of Russell Westbrook showing up to the OKC Thunder game in red overalls

and a white turtleneck. And Nick Weiger said, Russ got a fire flower. Exactly what he looks like. You can follow us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist. We're at The Daily Zeitgeist.
