Top five Chicagoans. Is the Pope? Is he? Did he make the top five? No, not even close. No, not even in the top 20. You're gonna have to earn the respect. You gotta earn that, bro.

You gotta earn that. Is Rodney Williams from Chicago? Yes. Oh, man. There's some. He is. He was born in Chicago? Yes. Oh man, there's some. Yes, he was born in Chicago land area. Right. Okay. Do I associate him with San Francisco just because

that's where Mrs. Doubtfire takes place? Yes. Yeah, probably 100%. I think he went through San Francisco for a little bit. He did. During the course of his comedy career. I don't think he ever like claimed Chicago. This is me, I'm over here, I'm an alien.

Yeah. Morka Mindy, baby. Jack, you could be a Morka Mindy. Yeah, whoa. What? Wow. This is my room. Is this your room?

What? What? What? You sound like an out of breath person turning into a werewolf. It's like Will Smith. Will Smith's room. Will Smith's. This is the bounce back.

Oh, boy. My favorite Chicagoans, Kanye West, R. Kelly, Jenny McCarthy. I'm just saying there's room on the list. Some spots have been vacated recently. Hugh Hefner. Hugh Hefner? I forgot he was from Chicago. Yeah.

Wow. Damn, John Q. OK, you got John Q Hugh Hefner, I forgot he was from Chicago. Yeah. Wow. Damn, John Q. OK, you got John Q's act the goat. Always good. John Q's act the goat, Don Cornelius, John Belushi. I mean, a lot of a lot of comedians, right? But you also have to take into account that a lot of Chicagoans will claim people who call Chicago

home that aren't from there or like or that you just meant a lot to this like Michael Jordan. Right. Yeah. He was only in Chicago for the years he played with the Bulls. Once he left the Bulls, he left Chicago and never come back. But he will still be considered a Chicagoan. If he stops to take a piss in Wheeling, West Virginia, I would claim him for Wheeling, West Virginia. Like, you know, on his way up the East things, if like that, I would be like famous. If his private jet dumped human waste above the valley, I would be like, yeah, you know, I'm Michael Jordan been in the valley since, since, since day one. Obviously if he Dave Matthews band tour bust, I would say we're from the same hometown.

Exactly. Whoever was in the direct path of the Dave Matthews shit slurry should be on the top 20, just like honorary top 20 Chicago. And, you know, yeah, that was a punt. There's probably a bunch of people. Yeah. The person who was just like encased, you know, is there, I wonder, has someone done like an AMA on Reddit? I feel like that would be something where like, dude, I was coveredased, you know? Is there, I wonder, has someone done like an AMA on Reddit?

I feel like that would be something. We're like, dude, I was covered in DMB feces. Miles, you should do AMA as that, even though like it won't be, nobody has to know. Yeah, just like that's what 97% of Reddit is anyway. That's why if they ever remake Jaws, the speech that Quinn gives, Quint gives about the singing of the Indianapolis should be replaced

by somebody who is on that boat. Hell yeah. You were on the DMV. Caught DMV's shit slurry. DMV's BM's. DMV'ss, baby. This is an iHeart Podcast. Hear insightful, entertaining discussions on today's important health and wellness

My high school we were the Knights and we were just this janky ass suit of armor that I remember was, it was Rebecca, I'm not gonna say your last name, I remember Rebecca would

always wear the fucking, the armor. But underneath was like this mesh sort of chain mail like layer that that shit smelled like straight up like 70 year old helmet. You know what I mean?

And it was based on this, like these kids were like in a park playing with like a spiral sort of like machine thing and this older woman just comes up on a bike

while they're playing and she's like, oh, ein Stuhl. And it became, it's the best video. Why'd she do that? I don't know, I don't even speak German. I was just like, this is the best. And seeing all these young people just do their own version, I'm like, clearly this caught on. Is Piss Buck?

They, they start a mobile phone company. Yeah, that's true. That's what Trump's doing. He's crazy. He's talking to his publicist being like, I want to do the Ryan Reynolds playbook. Why should that do it? He's going to, he's going to release a gin pretty soon. If he hasn't already.

There was a vodka, I think in 2003 or 2006. Drunk vodka. Failed spectacularly. I think this shit is poison. I've never drank it before in my life. You would never drink this garbage. Enjoy the finest. It's the best, the finest garbage.

We'll talk about corporate cowardice backing out of Juneteenth celebrations. We'll talk about a dangerous double standard. Again, we're going to win this civil war by pointing out all the double standards. But there is a dangerous one happening with regards to masks and who's allowed to wear masks. We might even talk about all the companies that are sharing our private information with ICE. But we got to talk about two new information with ICE, but we got to talk about two new bangers released from luminaries from our childhood. Will Smith, creator of the very first cassette tape that I ever purchased.

Damn, son. Yeah. And Mariah Carey, who I- Creator of the very first orgasm of it. No, sorry. Inventor of the orgasm. Inventor of the very first orgasm. I've not Of the orgasm Right, carry both of them dropped videos over the weekend to Similar levels of success. Yes artistic integrity as far as i'm concerned Uh, so we'll talk about that. We'll talk about space balls too coming back. Hell. Yes

We'll talk about an hbo show that might have just gotten another person to confess to murder. All that? Hell yeah. Yeah, we're going to get to every single one of those things. God damn. Okay. I feel like HBO documentaries have a higher solve rate than like... The actual police. Any police in the United States.

Any police force. It's wild what a camera does. All that, plenty more. But first, Jekies, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? So let me make people sad. Oh, damn. All right.

My cat's passed away. Two in the past year. A cat passed away. My latest cat passed away last month. And, and so, you know, if you want to make me happy, Texas, come on out to community clash, everybody else. But, or buy a ticket for a friend. I don't, yeah, you ain't gotta come.

We don't, we don't care if an audience is empty. We just want the money. Yeah. Do like those Christian, like those QAnon movies or a bunch of people just buy the tickets. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead.

But now let me read. Get your church to buy out the theater. get your church to buy out the theater. Get your church to buy off the theater. This is good. Chris, Jackie says cat died, but let me raise you back up. I don't want another cat right now, but I think I want to buy some fish. I want to like to get a fish tank. I want to get a fish tank.

So I've been looking at like fish tanks and like how to start one up and what to do and how to clean it and things like that, because I'm like, I had a fish tank when I was a teenager, my family did. Yeah. But I go to like homies houses and nobody got fish, bro. Nobody. The aquarium is not. Yeah.

It's not the wave that it used to be. I feel like, you know, like even when I was in like my single phase, I never went over ladies houses that had fish, ladies or whoever you date. Yeah. Do you go over people's houses? They have fishes and you like. Is that a weird look? Is that why?

Is that weird? Yeah. They go, oh, he got a fish tank? What is this? Yeah. A bad seafood restaurant? I think it's dope. It used to be like a, it used to be a, like a statement of like, oh, like classiness and

girls even. Like you're popping. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The bad guy in naked gun. Exactly. to be a, like a statement of like, Oh, like classiness and like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. The bad guy in naked gun. I had a tank. It, I think that's the thing is it we've just aged out of the fish tank being cool. Cause that was like some drug dealer bad guy shit when we, in the eighties, you know, we're like, yeah, fish.

How many drug dealers are you dating? J'Kees? Maybe that's the issue. Well, I remember so many drug dealers I knew in the early odds had fish tanks. Fish tanks. They had some kind of aquarium popping off. Probably got a fish tank and she sells the best cocaina here in Los Angeles.

I shouldn't say that when people are getting deported. Yeah. I do wonder how much of it is like because I've been to people's houses with fish tanks, but they're like people who have kids, they're the age that my kids are. So I wonder if it's like a thing that's like really appealing to young kids. If you have a kid, I guess so. Yeah. I don't know. I just want to do it because I don't want another, I don't want another cat.

I don't want a dog. Right. I don't want another, I don't want another cat. I don't want a dog. But for the first time, since I've lived out in Los Angeles, I literally am alone in my apartment, whether it is, you know, I'm not living with a partner or have like another creature. And I feel like even though I know fish tanks are work, like that's what people don't realize.

I feel like it's nice to just have something that I can like take care of that feels a little less, you know, heavy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know, maybe I'll even name my fish. Oh, are you ready? Cause people, I might not be, I might, it might be too much. Name the fish. Yeah.

It might be too much. You'd rather be like, yeah, that's the blue one. Yeah. Which is a name. Yeah, the blue one. Yeah. The blue one. That's blue one. That's red three.

That's red three right there, baby. So yeah, that's, that's what I'm, I think I'm going to do and I'm going to pull the proverbial trigger. And, uh, I think I'm going to get myself a fish. Man, a lot of God metaphors for somebody about to head to Texas, but. You know what? I'm getting ready, baby. I'm getting ready. You're here in the zone.

I'm coming as soon as I walk on stage, I'm gonna have a cowboy hat on and a rifle on my arm shooting into the ground, propelling yourself off the ground. Like Yosemite Sam. So we, we experimented with the fish tank and the experiment did not go well. Still not sure exactly what I fucked up, but we've also been looking at turtles. And both fish and turtles is the thing that I run into, because these are like starter pets. Like we had dogs, but you know, they passed away from old age, my life, and I've been married a long time. And our kids are interested in pets.

As Victor said in the chat, like fish turtles, these are like your starter pets to see if the kids are ready for another pet, the, the size of tank. Like I, you go on like Reddit and the people who are turtle experts are like, you're going to need to convert a room to like, oh, yeah. A turtle like a turtle needs a turtle. I know that's what I'm saying. But it's like, I mean, the thing with the turtle is they can grow based on the size of space. Yeah. And so like if you keep a turtle in a tank, it just won't grow.

Like I have friends who have turtles that are in a like small fish tank and they seem happy. I haven't spoken like small fish tank. And they seem happy. I haven't spoken at length with them, but they seem great. But then yeah, you like sometimes they're like, that's absolutely not enough space for any breed of stuff. But if that's even the case, like that will put me off to having a turtle. I'm like, that's exactly what happened. You need more.

Oh no, I cleaned the tank. I cleaned the tank. I was ready to pull the proverbial trigger. And then I backed off once I saw how much they were like, that's enough for a quarter of a turtle. Stop listening to lame people. To turtle experts. Stop listening to marine biologists. Stop. Stop.

Do your own research. And we call it trial and error. Yeah. Maybe that turtle wanted to be small. Maybe it does, maybe it does. Maybe it wants to touch each, maybe it wants to like touch each side of the tank with all of his limbs. Uh.

Stretch my shit out. Stretch my shit out. Really, yeah, really dominate the space. Really dominate the space, you know? Maybe that's what it wants. Look, he gets to like do little turns. He's having fun. He can move, he can move plenty. really dominate the space, you know, maybe that's what it wants. Look, you got to still like do little turns. You can move.

You can move plenty. You can move. What is something you think is underrated? You know, something that I think is underrated is a pillow. A pillow is underrated. Okay. I feel like, let me tell you, man, I'm a side sleeper and, and, and look, I envy anyone who is a great sleeper, who can lay down on any surface and just go to sleep, who have found their comfortable things.

But for those of us that have not, and those of us that have recognized that, Oh, my body isn't supposed to feel like this. When I wake up things like that, your pillow is a pretty big part of that. So like, I now have a pillow that like keeps my neck pillow is a pretty big part of that. So like I now have a pillow that like keeps my neck level and raises it up. It's a little cradle. It has a little side thing that my arm can go on. So my arm is a side sleeper pillow because I'm primarily a side sleeper.

If you're not get you a pillow that's like suited for you, like find you your pillow. Stop being okay with bad quality of sleep. I it took my house to burn down and everything in it for me to get real about a pillow. Seriously, before I was using like criminally old pillows. OK, like shit from when I was a child that like you just inherit. You move out the house. You're like, Mom, I'm taking these pillows. Okay. Like shit from when I was a child that like you just inherit, you move out the house. You're like, mom, I'm taking these pillows. Inexplicable stains.

Those are through a murder. Yeah, 100%. Please wash your pillows too. But then I remember on the show, Jack, of like maybe last year, the year before we read an article about how they're like, yeah, you got to replace those pillows like every year. And I was like, what? Two to three years.

Yeah. I'm like, yeah, you got to replace those pillows like every year. And I was like, what? Two to three years. Yeah. I'm like, OK, so I'm totally fucking myself over with these old ass pillows. Yeah. And I'm I just having a newer pillow, like designed for longevity and not from like the 70s night and day. I got pillows, sponges and underwear are in this category of thing that I net. I will use them until they fall to literal pieces. Yeah. Like when you look on the back of the sponge,

like packaging, they're like, use this for a week or two. You're like, nah. Use a new sponge. I will use that shit. I've had the same brushes for my dishes for two years. Oh yeah. Oh the brushes. I do throw them in the dishwasher

every like four to six months. Yeah, cause I have like a scrub daddy or whatever and they're like, yeah, just put Oh, the brushes. I do throw them in the dishwasher every like four to six months. Yeah, because I have like a scrub daddy or whatever. And they're like, yeah, just put it in the dishwasher to get rid of the mildew. I'm like, that is not helping the mildew at all. Like this, it's a wrap after like your point, Jack, a week or two. Yeah. So listen, man, start getting better. Do that with every facet of your life, but especially your pillow.

Go update your pillows but especially your pillow. Update your pillows. Update your pillows. People of the world, update your pillows. People of the world, update your pillows. Every boy and every girl, update your pillows. Update your pillows. People of Texas, buy tickets to Comedian Clash,

then update your pillows. Buy Comedian Clash tickets. Update your pillows. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back in Jekyll's Neil. Yes. Yes. Jack O'Brien, as you might remember on this podcast.

Yeah. We've always liked to ask if your search history underrated, but we also like to ask you what's something you think's over. You know, something, something that I think is, is overrated. Let me tell you what's overrated y'all. Just be slapping, slapping asses in the bedroom. Slapping booties, slapping ass. When you, when you, when you're ass. When you when you're making

sweet love when you're making sweet love. Don't get me wrong. A few ass max is great. But I feel like, you know, especially men and we're men we can attest to this. We sometimes we used to when we were younger, we got a lot of our things that we saw to do from not real sex from like porn and shit. Oh yeah. Yeah. And you don't learn. I'm not aware of another.

Is there another way to have sex? It should be, but it was not for us of men of our age. And you don't sometimes, let me tell you, man, slapping the ass is an art form. And sometimes I'm telling you, y'all doing it. Not right. You slapping too high, too low. Right. You know, your ass slap is too por Right. You're slapping too porny.

Your ass is too porny. And then also not everybody, not every, not every partner's ass you got, got the same ass sensitivity. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's not everybody want the ass slapped as hard as the last person. Some people don't want their ass slapped at all. People don't want that.

Maybe at all. Some people don't want their ass slapped at all. Some people's asses don't jiggle when you slap. Some people is just like slapping a cracker and it might break in half. It might break. Makes the sound of a tennis ball racket. Some people don't want you to Venus Williams their ass. They don't want a Serena Williams.

Nothing, nothing. So, you know, I think the ass slap is becoming a little too overrated. And our lost art maybe lost art because it's not so much that is overrated. It is that we are not properly asking our partners. What level of ass slap would you like? Right. Right. This is a chart.

I'm going to ask you to point on here. How do you want me to slap your ass? Yeah, how hard? From gentle to Philadelphia bus driver. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And you know, listen, if somebody wants to Philadelphia bus driver, which Miles, I could tell is an OG ass slapper. He knows the terms, baby. Philadelphia ass slapper.

Philadelphia bus driver is a classic ass slap. The soul out of that ass. He slapped the soul out of that ass, baby. He slapped the soul out of that ass. Some people may not want that. Like me, I don't want my ass. I don't want that. I don't want that.

Honestly, it feels gauche these days. Especially because, you know, people like different parts of their body stimulated. You know what I mean? I'm more like I'm a, I'm a necky ear, you know, you're a necky ear. Yeah. Little do ASMR little kisses, add neck in the ear. Anyway, look, just a little insight to what happens behind the mics. When we turn the mics off, Jack, Jack, he said, now we just start kissing each other's necks. I got weird when I asked him to hold my hands and make direct eye contact with me. Well, that's because our issues aren't with intimacy. They're with trust.

That's right. Trust. And you were doing intimacy. You may not like eye contact. That's right. Not everybody likes eye contact. I found out you don't like small kisses on your thighs. You know, and now I know that.

And now I know. And it's weird. He doesn't like eye contact in the day to day, but in the bedroom, he is locked in. Locked in. Right here. Right here. I just keep saying right here. Right here.

Right here. He'll hit you with that Philadelphia bus driver slap and then hit you with the New Jersey Turnpike Stair, baby. There it is. Where it's just staring right into you. So, shout out to the Tri-State area. And then the Delaware, I don't know. The Delaware preview pumps.

Preview pumps. Yeah. That's the preview pumps before you know, you show, you show your partner, like this, this might be what you're going to be getting. This is what can happen. This is what can happen. It's the preview pumps. Delaware is great at those. All right. I feel like those should be New Jersey because New Jersey is the place where the gas pumps are not self-service. You have somebody there to service you. So the preview pump, I don't know. We'll workshop it.

We'll come back to you guys and let you know what Delaware is. In the meantime, let's get into some news stories. Shall we? We shall. We got a grift check on aisle Trump. Isle everywhere. Isle infinity. Yeah.

Yeah. Just I'm just every day there's like a new thing where you're like, man, Trump just made $70 billion from this thing. That's clearly a quid pro quo with another government or entity. And you're, I'm just like, yeah, okay. And I took a second because like Jackie kept bringing up that Masha guessing quote about how, like, how quickly things become normal. And then you forget how just, just a few moments ago, things seemed beyond the

pale and no elected official would ever dare to do this. But like again just just off the top right we had the 300 million Elon gave to the election another 100 million he gave after that Tesla infomercial at the White House where we got everything's computer he gave him another 100 million after that. For what? Like he's not running for president anymore. Yeah. I think more just like to be like, help my efforts. Like I need your backing to do whatever man or a fuckery is necessary. Is that illegal? Like to just give the president $100 million?

Well, it's committing it to spending to other groups. So it's not a direct line. You know what I mean? That's how the government works. I think we're beyond that at this point. I know we're definitely beyond it, but it's just like, it seems so weird to just be like, yeah, and this guy gave me a hundred million dollars in a briefcase. Yeah. Well, he's like, well, he's committed it to some groups that are for my political purposes, specifically, although I will find a way to get that money in my pocket.

And then also look, there was the jet from cutter. Then there was that fucking trip he took to the middle East where there was like $5 million a plate dinners to fucking meet him. It's all just adding up. And then there's the Don Jr. Creating his own Soho house for wannabe fascists in DC. That costs like $500,000 a year to join. $500,000 a year. To join.

To join. And then maybe you get access. You know, like the grift there is like, well, if it's Donald Trump Jr's thing, there's a half a mil to join that I'm probably going to get access and you probably won't. Yoink. And then now we have just ripped this new financial disclosure report from Trump just in 2024. This dude made $600 million. That's from crypto golf club licensing, other various licensing deals that he's done, including what we see now,

because we saw the guitars, we talked about the watches, all this shit. Now the latest thing is Trump mobile, which is a mobile phone and network for real Americans and it's made of fake gold and the fine print is really something because it's basically like hey man this shit could end as an actual telecoms company at any fucking moment and you can't do shit about it you should have known better we are trying it looks like an iphone yeah it looks 100 like an iphone but it's has an iPhone that they did gold, but then the back has a T from T-Mobile on it.

It looks like the exact T. And a one. Yeah. A T1. T1. Which I'm assuming is this is the first model of it. And the American flag. They, yeah.

And then like a little American flag, but the T1 clearly designed by people who didn't make it to the level of math where you had like TI-82s, you know? No, it but the T1 clearly designed by people who didn't make it to the level of math where you had like TI-82s, you know? No, it's just T1. Yeah, T1. This is the T1 baby. Yeah. The website, it says, repeatedly warns customers that its use of the Trump trademark quote can be terminated or revoked. While noting that quote, Trump Mobile, its products and services are not designed,

developed, manufactured, distributed or sold by the Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principles Again, they talk about how reliable this network is the terms also make clear that the Trump Organization quote is not liable for third-party Services it relies on warning that wireless services can be withdrawn permanently without notice wireless services can be withdrawn permanently without notice. AKA, companies are going to be like, oh no, we don't want to have our app on your phone. It's using Android. So anything in that Google Play Store is available. It's more just like whatever telecoms company

whose network bandwidth we're using, if they decided like, hey, actually, no, we're not doing this, then sorry, your phone might just be a golden brick. Well, you could probably use it for another network, but yeah, this is how things are now we're at now with the $499. We've got gold iPhone at home iPhone. Yeah. This is the, you know what?

Listen, man, if it wasn't such an evil man, I would almost kind of respect the grift. Yeah. You know, like man, the ability to turn anything you do into a money making venture, almost, it needs to be studied because like, this is great. Like the presidency, the office of the president is already a fucked office in general. And now we have openly. Yeah. Like made it back money making a money making venture. And was so funny. I am a very big proponent. I think this is wrong. Let me say that for all the new people who don't know. Well, I'm saying I think what's happening with this, the grifting is wrong. Let me say that for all the new people who don't know. Well, I'm saying I think what's happening with this, the grifting

is wrong. So all the new Zeitgeist fans who don't know me, let me just say that first and foremost. However, I am a very big proponent of like keep the same energy, right? If like, if I do something and you tell me you shouldn't do that, and then you turn around and you do the same thing that that makes me even more mad versus if you tell me if I'm doing something and you like, well, shit, I do that shit too. Then like, let's both do it. Like, you know, like if Obama did this, like they would have been bored. They would have been where a fucking tan suit. He can wear a tan suit.

Nothing. Nothing. And I'm just like... It's a fucking national scandal. Like that's the thing. It's crazy to me. It's just so critical. It's not a hustle because it's so easy.

It's just shamelessness. It's just privilege. That's all it is. It's just privilege. Recognizing that the way the system works is that he has been a millionaire since he was a baby and has just been able to push his privilege and then bully people into backing down anytime his ability to just grow and grow and grow his privilege was a challenge. That Obama reference is actually pretty amazing because I was in this Guardian article, I was

reading one of the ethics lawyers who worked in the administration, they were talking about how fucking buttoned up it shit used to be in terms of like appearances of conflict of interest. I think Norm Eisen was saying, when Obama's in White House, they told him he couldn't refinance the house that he owned, because he was in the midst of regulating the banking industry. And they're like, Oh, yeah, this would not be a good time to do a refi, especially when you're doing stuff with the banking industry. Like how far we've come from like that sort of thing of like, which is fair, which is fair.

Yeah. Yeah. But I'm just saying like back then they're like, don't refinance your fucking house right now. Because again, you are the most powerful person regulating laws to now. Yeah, man, you want to sell a mobile phone? That's like a grift. You want to sell a mobile phone? That's like a grift.

You want to sell a fucking whatever the fuck it is crypto and find gold green cards, open up an entirely new revenue stream for people to use blockchain. Like the sort of the, uh, opaqueness of blockchain to, to hide who's giving you money. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Uh, but again, I think just a good indication to show like how, how much now we're like, oh, okay. Yeah, I guess that's what he's doing now. Is there a level that he hasn't gone to yet? Because this is like some like candy

bars, I guess he probably like there are probably candy bars out there that are using his thing. But like, I'm just trying to think of like, the most Mr. Beast ass. Yeah, it's it's yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing he can do. He would have to literally be like, I am taking the funding for all children's leukemia research and it's mine now. Like that's really the next word. Me. Yeah, yeah.

I heard my birthday. In my pocket. Didn't come to my party. That's I think like the next level of it is straight up. Just like here's money from here that is now just mine. I don't give a fuck. He's probably gonna be selling his bath water. Ooh, like Sydney, Switney?

Like Sydney, sweetie? Yeah, maybe. Like he'll probably do that. Extra little skin tags in there. Orange, orange hue. Do we think he's gonna start like shacking it and start doing like a bunch of commercials too with the general? That is the general of the big strong general.

I mean, I guess that is that is the bridge that he isn't quite crossing. It is like full on TV commercial to sell a thing that he's behind. Like things will evoke his name or whatever. But I guess maybe no, he did that before. I don't know, man. He's done. He's done. He did it when he wasn't the president. Yeah. Like after in between the terms, he did like a couple like infomercial type.

Commercials. I mean, he's shoes. He did commercials for the shoes, but it's always just like him standing in front of a green screen being like, these are great. Yeah. Reading off of a prompter words that he'd never seen before. Yeah. We need to put the fear of God back into some of these politicians. It feels like I'm not saying how we do that.

There's only one rich guy who's losing sleep right now. It's the, what is it? De Beers or like one. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One of those jewelry billionaire is like guys, like the inequalities out of control.

I think Cartier, I think, right. Or maybe LVMH. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the inequality is out of control. Cartier, I think, right? Or maybe LVMH. Yeah, yeah. It's like the inequality is out of control. I'm losing sleep over it. He's the only one. Everybody else is like, no, we're good, man. Are you fucking kidding?

We got all the power. Right, because he's French. He has a little more context for, you know, out of control wealth breeding unhappiness. All right. Let's check in real quick with ICE because the fascist white supremacy army known as ICE is getting a lot of help. And it's not just Dr. Phil, as we talked about last week.

It was actually recently reported that the airlines have been feeding private information about citizens directly to the DHS and ICE via a data broker called Airlines Reporting Corporation. Oh, okay. So probably that's like an independent thing where someone just... Yeah, yeah. Like a government agency. Yeah. Nope. They're a broker that is just taking our money and trying to sell it to the highest bidder. And in this case, the highest bidder, there's a lot of ways. This has actually been happening a lot where data brokers,

like buy your information from any company that you give it to. And then the government can circumvent all these laws about how they spy on us or access our information because they just like pay for it from the data. It's like, Oh, I don't need a warrant because they're selling this information that I just transact with or for. So yeah, all clear, all clear. I just like how that also that airlines reporting corporation owned by at least eight major USA airlines.

They owned by Delta airlines. Where they're like, look, like look, we can make another pretty penny by packaging together all our flight manifests and then selling that off to people. Yeah. We talked before about like there's this article like long time ago, like six years ago, it was like, oh yeah, credit card companies are now no longer consider themselves like credit card companies. They consider themselves like data mining companies. Right. They are taking your information and selling it to the highest bidder.

Yeah. That's all up there, man. But yeah, it's spread to everyone who has any information about you. Like, hey, I got some over here. I know they took a flight last week because anybody want that shit? Anyone want to know about that? I know where they're going to be. I know where they a flight last week because they want to, they might want that shit and want to know about that. I know what it going to be. I know what it going to be.

I know what it going to be at on this day at this time. It's just wild again to see just how just capitalism all just hand in hand with this sort of now super fucked up draconian, like people kidnapping operations, just like, yeah, and they do that by help by getting the information on people's whereabouts from the companies that we're also fucking beholden to with our bills and shit like that. It's really, I don't know. It's a lot.

Yeah, right. Exactly. Like even credit reporting agencies are like, yeah, you want to buy this ice? We got some for you. We got some for you. Fucking Lexus Nexus. I don't know if people know Lexus nexus but like lexus nexus is just like a research tool that like is costs a lot of money but like when i worked at abc news like you got a lexus nexus account it was awesome you could like

find every newspaper article ever you could find court cases yeah like kind of a kind of a startling amount of information and lexus nexus signed a $16.8 million agreement with ICE to help them surveil pre-criminals movements. I'm sorry, pre-criminals. Pre-crime. Pre-crime? Pre-crime. Yeah, yeah.

Minority report. Yeah. LexisNexis has had deals with car makers like General Motors, Honda, Kia, and Hyundai, which basically, they became the subject of a highly publicized lawsuit, which we've talked about before. But basically, the car companies are selling the data on how you drive to Lexus Nexus, who in turn sold it to insurance companies, resulting in higher rates for drivers. And yeah, they're just, it's just different people selling your information.

That's like what a big chunk of the economy is now. And we're giving away for free. It feels, feels, I mean, like we also, with the social, uh, with Doge and Elon getting access to all our social security shit, it just feels such like a daunting time even more. It, it feels like we just keep going lower and lower. Yeah. When we don't.

We've just given up total control. Like there's this massive, vast, impossible to like even keep track of because of how complicated is system that we're like, we've completely lost control of because we were like, I guess the market is good at deciding things. Yeah. Well, just even look at how the American government handles it. Like even when they're trying to regulate stuff, they're just sort of like, well, you can't sell Americans information to like China or Russia or Iran or North Korea.

Or North Carolina. Or North Carolina too. But you know what, to other agencies in the US, that's fine. That's fine. That's data meant for us to terrorize our own public. The laws that the Biden administration passed were to protect your information from going to other countries. But we're good with it going to ICE.

There's also a data broker called Vental that sells location data of smartphones to US law enforcement agencies, including ICE, CBP, and the FBI. So that's, you know, they're basically, they have tracking devices on all of us that we carry around voluntarily. All day long. Yeah. I also, I don't know if you guys have talked about this yet or plan to talk about it, but like just in relation to the ice, uh, what's going on right now, especially in Los Angeles. I'm sure you guys saw that story about the singer who got told by the Dodgers to not sing the national anthem in Spanish.

Yeah. And she did anyway, and they banned her. Yeah. Even though the national anthem is the version she's saying is an official national anthem of the United States for Spanish speakers, uh, how they also like has somebody sitting right behind home plate in the MAGA hat, but kicked out somebody who wore an anti ice. Uh, they know the Dodgers have been real.

I just want to say this to Dodger fans or if your organization, especially if you are a person of color and you support your teams and they're doing shit like this, like the Dodgers organizations should be fucking ashamed of themselves. They are not, but they should be ashamed of themselves. And it was only like three NFL teams also that deign to say anything about what's happening. I was like, the Chargers? Okay. Okay.

Based Chargers. Thank you for speaking up. Thank you for speaking up, man. And so many other teams. Yeah. We got a demand. We got it to, we, you know, we're given, we're given our hard earned dollars. And especially like the Dodgers, the Latin community and the Mexican community are,

and they came, they came to Los Angeles, shitting on the Mexican community. It took decades for Mexican fans in LA to forgive what happened in Chavez Ruzbin, for the building of Dodger stadium, for that, for, to then embrace the team. Like that was a whole process. And then to now get to this point and just be totally mum with it is yeah, it's, it's, I think's, it's, I think again, it just shows you where people who they're in solidarity with. It's not with, it's not with the fans. It's not with the people that are paying to keep this machine afloat.

It's with the other wealthy people who are calling the shots because yeah, I mean, like even that whole trip to the White House was such an L and seeing all those players go up there and like some obviously were maybe quietly not as enthusiastic, but either way, just like that visual was not something that warmed the heartstrings. Turns out they're owned by billionaires. Surely not every team is owned by some wealthy group of wealthy people. A couple of teams are owned by people who only have

990 million. I mean what the Green Bay Packers right there? Publicly owned technically they're just owned by think I don't want I don't want to talk about my Wisconsinites I'm a Chicago Bear fans. So fuck the Packers but like You know as far as the owners go. Yeah, I'm sure there are some great owners Cuz everybody's are owned by the Pope right Bears. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. We're going to have mass, mass on Soldier Field every Sunday now. Yeah. But anyways, the Democrats tried to push through some things about using data brokers to access information for ICE. Biden issued an executive order putting a stop to data brokers to access information for ICE. Biden issued an executive order putting a

stop to data brokers selling private information, but his was like we said, only to China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. Eventually, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposed a rule to crack down on data brokers that would obligate them to comply with accuracy requirements and provide consumers access to their data. So at least it'd be like, we can't lie about you. And you, you know what we're giving to ICE and the Trump administration quickly scrapped that rule. Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, the clock's ticking with the ICE stuff because

they've already projected they're a billion dollars over budget and the fiscal year ends in like three months. And that, yeah, they're like the way they're describing ice spending. They're like, dude, it's they act like there's no loss. Like to, to spend this much money is absolute. It's mind blowing, which is another reason why they're so desperate to get this big, beautiful ball sack bill over the line, because they need so much more funding to really ramp up the intensity of these raids and also detain people

So yeah, anyway money we are And I know we say this a lot so fucked Like we are for the moment. We are barreling down the suggest financially economically socially mentally some people physically like like this, we just, you know, start smoking weed if you don't, because we don't need something to keep us afloat. Keep it, keep your head on the swivel and stay blunt.

Yeah. Stay blunt and keep your head on the swivel, baby. Cause it's, uh, it's getting rough out here in these streets. You know, as a matter of fact, I'm not you can't even find me in these streets No, mom boy. You got you got to find me Find you every end of every episode Jackie you better go to a data broker and find my You want to find me that's the only way you can find me I guess people are willing to pay a lot of money to find out where we are. Maybe we could just sell that off. Do like a Patreon for a little location.

I'll share my location with you. That's another to your Patreon. All right, for 600 a month, I'll share my location. Keep a tracking device on my car. I trust you, I trust you, man. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about some bullshit. And we're back.

And all right. Will Smith's got a new song. Mariah Carey's got a new song. They both dropped videos over the weekend. Mariah Carey's is mainly notable for Mr. Beast's randomly showing up and sporting his new, what if the guy from clerks ate his weight and creatine look? Wow. Take a shot.

One more time. Taking shots at Brian O'Halleran who played Dante in clerks. Dante. He looks like Dante from, he does look like Dante from from he does look like Dante started working out a lot. Yeah, it's not weird to be on the video. Strange. There's a I in it. Mariah looks not real at times. Yeah, like she's standing, but not moving.

And I'm like, what the fuck is this? Like I get she's you know, she's trying to keep her mystique. So she's just limiting it to glam shots. Not a lot of dancing. It has the least realistic motorcycle riding on camera. Since I took a video of my son on one of those like things you put a quarter in and then ride the motorcycle that goes like in a circle sound for totally. Totally.

I mean, uh, the, the mr. Beast part, I mean, it might have some, I know like her son, one of her younger sons is like really into streaming online. Like, so I don't know, maybe he had something to do with this. It's just like it just reeks of like, Mariah, you have such a fight. You have an amazing body of work already. This like new thing. Look, I love the Eric B for president sample.

Make them clap to this. But for me, I don't know. As a millennial, I'm kind of like, it's OK. We don't have to keep making stuff all the time. We can. It's not even that. It's not even that you have to keep making stuff. I think you can keep making stuff. I'm sure I really, really do.

I think you have to stop trying to make shit for all new generations. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, like when when Tina Turner was making shit back and when she got older, she wasn't making shit for like 90s kids. She was still when Aretha like when her auntie face. Right. She was like, and the rose is still a rose. Like she wasn't making that shit. You had a little hard with her it. She aged with her audience. And so like Mariah, we don't need you to be sexy.

I mean, you always be sexy, but we don't need you to be like what the current Sabrina Carpenter's or Ariana Grande's or the pop culture is today. Like your voice and your body of work, if you just came out and just sang your ass off, like that's enough. Even Will Smith, bro, we don't need you to be up here growling like you Kanye or like all these rappers

now, bro. Just give us another summer time. Yeah. It sounds like like a rejected track that would have been on Beyonce's Renaissance album. You know, I mean, because it's got that like house thing vibe to it. and I'm like, yeah, yeah. It's like, I like pretty girls. And you're like, OK, all right. What are you saying? And like the lyrics aren't really even saying anything either.

It's basically like I like girls and it doesn't matter what they look like. Yeah, yeah. Over and over again, over and over again. And that was another one is like, this is such a weird, like, I guess this is the comeback, as he said in that lyrical lemonade freestyle Will Smith did. This is the bounce back. But again, I just don't know, man. I just I love I grew up with Will Smith, man. I love everything.

Everything you did, I love. But Will Smith had hits, bro, like movies and so Jiggy Wid. Jiggy Wid, Wild Wild West. But why is this bum bombing me the fuck out? Is it because I'm looking at it and I'm like, maybe I'm I have that inner gen Z gen alpha criticals, this shit ain't popping. You know what I mean? I go, no, but Will Smith was actually the goat at one point. You know, like I'm feeling self-conscious about it, like viewing it from my perspective,

knowing his career or I'm just saddened because I'm also washed and trying to keep up with things at times that maybe aren't totally part of my generational interest. I don't know. It's there's a lot happening. I think maybe it's more of like a mirror that I'm looking into my own mortality when I see these videos. Will Smith should have made the song that sounded like the make it clap but instead it was just make it slap and like just like leaned into it. And, and, and like, but keep the sound like what we remember you for from like the nineties and shit. Like we don't need you to update your sound to 2025 bro. You haven't made a new song in 20 years. Like where nobody was asking for you.

So if you want to come back in this way, like just do what would felt right to you. You know, you ain't got to change it up, bro. And I mean, and I'm sure so much of this is just like people being like, this is the, this is the, this is the wave, man. You should be chasing right now. This is what they're into. This is what they're into. This is what they're into. When like art, like to your point, Jackie says, like, should just be whatever

the artist is to the way they're choosing to express themselves. That's the product rather than considering the art, the, the public's reception of the first, what the consumer of your art is going to like that is that now you're making a product that you're tinkering with in the laboratory. This is not as quite artistic as maybe things in the past or, but all that to say, will Smith, I get it. You like to be stomped on by gigantic women. It has the, so it opens with him in therapy and he's talking to a therapist

and being like, I have a problem. Like I'm addicted to liking pretty girls Which is weird and like I don't know that I'm like liking them Have a real problem. I just really like pretty girls too much and then it like goes into his brain and then he is Like tiny and the pretty girls are all giant and they're like picking him up and like stomping on him and it just really starts to feel Like this video was made exclusively to make him come You know like that like that like he has some like very specific fetish

He was just like let's spend some money. I like to get mushed under the heel of a pretty girl big shoe I'm like, but is there are there cheating allegations? Why is he saying he has a problem with being attracted to other women? Are you married? I like I don't want to speculate on that necessarily No, but even like from the context of like you're a father You're married to jada pinkett and then your track is like but I got a wandering eye like what there's their split, right? Or aren't they splitting or there was like something and I think there were like, but I got a wander in I. Like what? There's split, right? Or aren't they splitting or there was like something. And I think there were like a lot of condescending.

Like he's getting a lot of incoming after the slap. Like, right. He's getting people who are like telling him he has to work on himself. So I think that's where the like therapy thing comes from. And then, you know, a lot of, you know, rumors about their marriage and stuff like that. And so it just feels like it's just a mash of like different things he felt like he had to say to answer whatever, all the shit people have been talking. But was anybody like, I wonder, does Will Smith like pretty girls?

Like, I don't know if anybody was questioning that. How much does he like them? That's what I said to juvenile. It feels like a thing that would have been on the parents just don't understand. It does. Yeah, you know, you're like, I like them girls. They're pretty. I don't discriminate. You're like, OK, great. This feels like some late 80s, like sort of accessible MC type delivery.

I'm wondering too. The Beastie Boys made this song in the 80s and then had to apologize for it in a verse in the 90s. The Beastie Boys were like, that shit was regressive and we apologize in lyrics that came out in the 90s. So then when like the 90s Beastie Boys are like too progressive for you. And Jay Z had this song in the 2000s. Yeah. And it was a much better song. And that also had some real wacky depictions.

And it had some very bad depictions of women and we was bumping that shit. And I'm not saying we was right or not, but like either you got to give us full trash or you got to give us like Is it the flow because will smith can't do anything outside of that late 80s Because you know i'm back and i'm on the track and i'm loving all types of women even if they're not black like it's just that's the very bars no, but Bars we're in such a different era with make an album, make an album. First of all, everybody is me, Will Smith.

Everybody knows that I like to drift in my car. You're like, OK, what are we saying? It's just it's just that whole style because we live in the era of like that. Yeah, it just maybe hits the brain differently too. And I'm like, I think that's the issue though. I think like he does have that style, which it worked in the 90s and late 90s with all the hits that he had.

Like he was hitting the charts. Like, you know, when he was making, when he came back as Will Smith and not as the fresh Prince and I think he stood, I mean, that's who he is. That's who he has always been, but he's trying to meet this new era of music where he is. And the two things don't really mix. I'm also going to say this about the video too. I was watching, I've been watching or seeing some like old videos of like Will Smith performing during like that era back in the, or just those old videos and like this new fit, the video is also so whack and like Will Smith used to have dope ass videos,

like with cameos and like dance choreography where he was like one of the hip hop niggas actually up here, like moving this shit. Like he was in the R and B group. And I'm like, man, I know you old now and you go, you got asthma or something, probably, but like, you know, dude, like, come on, bro, like, dude, I know you old now you got asthma or something probably, but like, you know, dude, like, come on, bro. Like, dude, give us, don't just give us like in a big white empty fucking room. Like it seems, it seems, it seems overly produced lazy.

Yeah. He should have been dancing with some of the aliens from Men in Black. Exactly. Something. Something. Something. I, the, the more perspective we have on his career, the more it's just like, man, how did summertime happen? Right. Summertime is a hit.

Summertime is so fucking good. Yeah. Summertime is top five. Compared to everything else. And we're like, why is this not summertime? It's like, maybe the question we should be asking is why was summertime, summertime, you know, why was that song so fucking good? I still say it is one top five, like hip hop songs of all time.

Summertime and like it's just, it's for summer. No, it's the perfect fucking song. There's no better summer rap song ever, ever. It's up there. He's just like, write songs about big topics like summertime. Yeah, summer's up there. He's just like, write songs about big topics, like summertime. Yeah. Summer's a big one. Spring break is fun.

I mean, maybe that's what Miami was. Miami was all about Miami. The Wild Wild West was about the whole Wild Wild West. Man in Black was about aliens. And now we just got Pretty Girl. Like, come on, man. You know what? You should just do songs about every big movie that comes out including like

both barbie and opinheimer like it sounds that are yeah yeah yeah just like the bombs maybe drop drop drop the bombs right oh man wow wow west drop the bombs i wonder again i think that was his thing though right because summertime was of that like you're, you're sampling cool in the gang, you're, you're repurposing like a thing that we has already got the summer feeling to it for this instrumental and that flow. Cause like, in a way I'm like, well, if you want to come back, just go back to that well, like from where you, or I don't know, I'm, I'm not one to be like, go, don't evolve as an artist. But either way, I think I'm just having trouble because as somebody who used to idolize Will Smith, seeing this now, I'm like, oh boy. A lot of people, I think, I think I'm just having trouble because as somebody who used to idolize Will Smith, seeing this now, I'm like, oh boy.

A lot of people, I think people were ready for this to be good or like hoping for like something. And there's a lot of people in the comments who are like, guys, I just sped it up to 1.3. And it's like really fucking, it actually sounds like a club hit if you like, if you like change the rate. Just the tempo. Yeah. If you Just the tempo. Yeah. If you up the tempo. Yeah.

It's like, this should really be around one 25. You know what I mean? It's just to really give you that house music bounce. I still fuck with world. I'm not gonna lie. I will always fuck with Will Smith. I love me some Will Smith. Oh yeah.

I was saying a few weeks ago, I was like, my whole identity was based off the fresh Prince when I was younger. I think that's why I have a sort of like it. A lot of times I'm like, I'm not trying to hate. I'm just like, I love you, but I don't fuck with this right now. So I'm I don't know what to do with this. Man. But anyway, I like pretty girl.

The lyrics do come off as those Jeff Bezos text to Lawrence. I love you. Aive girl, alive girl. I want to give you kisses. At least he was saying shit in the in the lyrical lemonade freestyle because usually doesn't curse. You know, he was saying shit in the freestyle. I was like, whoa, I think I'll keep that rule. Yes.

Don't curse, bro. That's what you was. You was for 20 plus years. Yeah. We don't need you to curse. When he said like, in this shit, I'm like, whoa, Will. Come on, bro. We don't need you to curse, bro.

That's not you. That's not you. My favorite part about getting Jiggy with it is the part where he says he takes the cigar, but doesn't light it. It's for the look. I don't bite it. Yep. He's just like, he still had that just say no to drugs energy.

That's why I mean, like you can't have that vibe and then be like, I like, you know what I like them, them women. You're like, Whoa, Whoa, bro. It just, yeah, it has like easy, man. That's this isn't your lane. I think that's what it is to like rap about how cool the convertible is. Yeah. That's true.

Well, J'Kees Neil, truly a pleasure as always having on the daily zeitgeist. Where can people find you, follow you, besides going to their local data broker and finding out where you are. You can find me in the house now, baby. I'm not in these streets for at least for a couple of weeks, bro. It's perilous out here in these streets. But one more time, Texas, if you are listening still, Dallas, we need your brothers, we need your sisters, we need you homies, we need everybody come on out. Houston and Austin, there are still tickets available

for those as well. Those are doing a little bit better, but sweep up those tickets, help us sell out this tour. My website is where you can get all that good shit. At Jockeys Neil on Instagram is where you can find info as well. Also, you know, your boy is going to be hosting a new show on Dropout TV. Yeah. It was announced in a New York Times article called Crowd Control, which we have not officially announced the date yet. I do know it, but I'm going to wait for them to announce it.

I will just say coming to you late summer, early fall. So get your dropout subscriptions. This is a fun show, man. It's going to be a fun show that I am hosting that you can watch. So yeah. Nice. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? You know, there is a couple,

and like, I don't know where to tell you to find them because they were videos, but one of them was a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic, and it was like, this is how Leonardo DiCaprio, this is how Jack looked when he passed away at the end of Titanic. And AI has allowed us to see what he would look like now

if he was still alive. And it's just a picture of current Leonardo DiCaprio. Which I thought was very funny. I was like, that's very funny. It's like a dad joke, but it's like very fucking funny. But then there's another joke that's circulating around of this black family of video that's circulating around of this black family at Disneyland. And they're at one of the character buffets where the characters walk around

and like, you know, take pictures with you while you're eating and things like that. And Chip from Chip and Dale sits down and like immediately you can tell like Chip is a black person inside of like that costume because like he's like slamming table and like coming to write and like and then they like amen And he's like pointing like amen and then and then he can't talk But then like the group one of the group says like amen Hallelujah, God is good and then chip like with his full body even with no words You can hear him say all the time. It is so it took me out. I'll probably I'll share it like on my stories or something like that in

the next day or so if anybody wants to see that's my favorite when you see the blackness transcend the Disneyland costume. Because sometimes I saw there was like someone dressed as Daisy Duck and they started doing like a praise tambourine dance. Like they were in church and I was like, you are they black in there. You already know. You already know they black in there. Boy, I love it. I love it so much. It's so funny. And it took, it took me out.

So yeah, I've been, I've been on video tip lately and I've been enjoying that. Nice. Miles, where can people find you as their work media? You've been enjoying everywhere. You find me everywhere at miles of in media you've been enjoying? Yeah, everywhere. You find me everywhere at milesofgray. You check out Jack and Miles got more miles and Jack got mad. Mad boosties.

Down to maybe one, actually two, probably two, technically two more episodes. Two more episodes. And then that's it, baby. We ride off into the NBA sunset. Who y'all got? Sarah Todd is going to be on this. I mean, I that that's dope.

I mean, like for the finals, I want the Sarah Todd. I want to shout out to Sarah. I want the Pacers. You want the Pacers? I don't know if it's going to happen now, but I want the Pacers to. I don't know. For those a tough game for but they did let it slip. They've done so much better than anybody expected except for us.

They have not, they have not lost back to back games in this playoffs yet. So by the time people are listening to this, the game will be over. We'll know the result. Yeah. And maybe they have lost back to back by now, but like neither of them lost back to back games. No, no. So if that trend, if that trend keeps, the Indiana Paisers. Either of them lost back games. No, no. And if that trend keeps,

the Indiana Paisers are your new champions. One for me, one for you. So basically there's that, oh, if you want a 90 day fiance, check out 420 day fiance, that's the other pod. Some posts I like, I referenced this on the trending, like weekend update trender episode about Father's Day. This was like the post I was talking about.

It's from at alexfalcone.beastguy.social. He posted, Father's Day is much harder if your dad doesn't go fishing in a golf barbecue or whatever. Which is pretty much how all the gifts feel. Next one is from at Uncle Duke1969.beastguy.social. Me points at my world's greatest dad shirt. Coworker points at his own world's greatest dad shirt. Me takes a sip from my world's greatest dad shirt, coworker points at his own world's greatest dad shirt. Me takes a sip from my world's greatest dad mug,

coworker sips from his own world's greatest dad mug. Me, eyes narrow, draws world's greatest dad sword. Um, and that felt like a good escalation. And then another one more just on the mayoral race in New York. The New York Times was like, we're not going to really endorse candidates. And then they suddenly were like, it's Andrew Cuomo.

It's Andrew Cuomo. You're like, oh, that's weird because why Zorin is because you got, you got somebody on the left rising up the polls. So at Papa Pichu dot B sky dot social posted the Times questioning Zorin's experience kind of just boils down to ideology and racism, but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing, they'd write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas. Yep.

Yep. And it's so true. Yep. It's, I think we also talked about how the Atlantic was like, democracy is dead in New York. Once that poll came out, the zone was leading in. They're like, this ranked choice voting is dangerous. Yikes. is dead in New York once that poll came out that's leading him like this rank choice voting is dangerous yikes work of media I've been enjoying John

wicker Park at phony bone tweeted I've pooped in gas stations you wouldn't even pee in it's just a tough thing to say to somebody that hit me bro cuz I need home-field advantage I don't that's that's- You don't fuck with that. Yeah, yeah. Not me, man. I can go anywhere, anytime. Wow. The gray man. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. All right. You can find us on Twitter and Blue Sky at Daily Zeitgeist.

And there you will find the footnotes, which is where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode. We also link off to a song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, is there a song that you think that people might enjoy? Yeah, I just heard some really dope, like a new jazz trio. They're called the Moses U-Fee Trio, Y-O-O-F-E-E. The track is called Push. It's just super funky. They're from Germany and I just love,

it's so nice to hear people still so invested in performing music on actual instruments. There's just something really heartening to that because so many people, there's AI that can help you do things or people going to more purely electronic, but there's just something about people on instruments playing together. I say this all the time, but this is a great track, Push by the Moses Yufi Trio. All right. We will link off to that in the footnote.
