What a great surprise.

Yes. Always wonderful to have Lacey in the house. It's great to have you back. Fizza, how is social distancing? How's this whole pandemic treating you? I mean, I love social distancing. It was sort of my lifestyle before, but now it's, you know, people are in support of it. So I feel kind of validated. Um, I like my home. I like my space. You have a great home. We can see inside your apartment and it looks lovely. And I just, from a young age, I've never wanted to live with a partner. So it's yeah, just, just me and, and good vibes, I guess. And that tiger, the tiger head that you killed. That I caught and killed. That we were talking about. Yeah.

Well, you know, like the toy district downtown is right by Skid Row. So it really was a form of hunting, you know, like having to be careful. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, there's my tiger head. It's cute, though. It's a beaut. I was saying on here before we started that I realized I live like a bachelor. Like, I have a pan that just cooks one egg that I got off I seen on TV.

And I was like, I need to, like, warm in this space up. But, like, if you came into my apartment, you would know who lived here. Well, I guess I have very large photos of myself around. So I guess you would know who lived here. But it has no personality. The place has no other than a crazy woman who likes to have large photos of herself. I love that, though. Why not?

You have that giant life-size portrait painting, oil painting behind you of yourself that we're looking at right now. Yes. Imagine, guys. Almost as if I'm seeing double. at right now yes imagine guys almost as if i'm seeing double imagine from white chicks uh terry cruz's problematic ass the lady with the fur and he's oiled up that big yeah uh yeah that's what i want that's what i that's what i have to have oh my god i gotta i gotta i have a bunch of furs i have a green one that i got before the um pandemic not not real fur but you kill a Lorax? What is up with me and faux animals? They're all just endangered around me.

They're glamorous. I like them. All right, Fiz, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. We are going to talk about the Supreme Court Striking down that illegal abortion restriction in Louisiana We're going to talk about Trump tweeting a video Of one of his supporters shouting White power at protesters He somehow missed the first three seconds of that video

Because that's what happened in the first three seconds I'm going to ask the question Why are people so mad about wearing masks Throughout this country? I'm curious to get you guys' thoughts on that three seconds i'm gonna ask the question why are people so mad about wearing masks throughout this country i'm curious to get you guys's thoughts on that uh we're gonna apparently space smells like shit uh so we're gonna talk about that we're gonna talk about parlay the right-wing social media app that should just be pronounced parlor but for some reason they went with the french pronunciation to fuck with their uh their base uh but first fizza we like to ask our guests what is something from your search

history that is revealing about who you are oh this was fun so it was actually a google image search and i it was of basically the president of the united States. And I just wanted to remind myself that it's like all white men. It's like a really striking image. And it's kind of creepy. It's just like, it looks cult-like because like 40% of America is like non-white. So like to have like 44 white men over the course of like, what, 244 years is like creepy. So I just, it's a striking image. I wanted to see it well there's

some diversity of facial hair there you know there's a couple of chin strap beards and uh mustaches so a lot of a lot of diversity in the in the white male demographic some of the guys weren't completely gray when they entered office, so that was some diversity there. Were there any blondes? Bill Simmons' diversity of his writer's room is diverse in its thoughts. It's diverse in thought. I don't think we have had a blonde president. That's a great question.

Like a Robert Redford? Right. Is Trump technically blonde, or is he a redhead? I think he is blonde. I think he's like strawberry blonde. Oh my God. This is why we shouldn't have blonde presidents. Exactly.

We elected like 80s movies were right. Blonde guys are all like evil villains. And we elected one. And look at it. Look at him. Reason why like, you know, every satan is like personified as a human or born as a human he has like blonde hair and blue eyes yeah i'm gonna google google like the president of the u.s and like look at a colored picture of it it's like super creepy yeah it's

wild it looks like a bunch of cloned photographs have you seen the uh the artist too i don't know why this made me think of that but the uh artist who paints herself uh having sex with all the different presidents no i have never heard of this woman what the hell yeah it's pretty great uh is she doing different positions with the presidents yeah i know she is who's a giver and who's a taker? I want to know what these, you know, who's a generous lover? I'd imagine Obama's would be good. Yeah. Yeah, except I think it's a lot of, like, the older ones, like, not Obama.

Like Taft? I don't want to see Taft fucking. That's terrible. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to yuck anyone's yum. You know, maybe, you know, well, there's some people who want to see a little jiggle, you know. I mean, that's not it. He just was not attractive to me.

It ain't got nothing to do with his weight. I wonder if she has Lincoln with the hat on. Like, does Lincoln fuck with the hat on? That's a great question. I would make him. The artist's name is Justine Lai. It is amazing how many of the people, I think that is Taft.

She has one where she's like kind of being held delicately in the arms of a rather large bald man. But she's also, you has george washington in there uh yeah what about those guys with the wigs i know with the powdered white wigs like you gotta leave the wig on wig on yeah wig stays on what i mean yeah absolutely could you imagine they take it off and it's just all like matted gray hair do they pin it down what was the technology the wig did they didn't have lace fronts back then yeah it was just sitting on your head and it smelled yeah just wobbling around up there

i used to i read somewhere that it was like also like if you had syphilis you would just wear a wig so that people didn't know you had syphilis. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know. Definitely fact check that, guys, because I'm not a historian. But I was like, I think it was in a TV show that I was in. Oh, interesting.

Damn. That's how Lacey's got it right now. She's like, I think one of the many tv shows i was in uh busted this myth uh chisel what is something you think is underrated i think sleep is underrated good quality sleep like charging your battery to a hundred percent yeah and like beyond you know those like battery charger apps where they're like you gotta keep charging it even once it hits 100 yeah that's how i feel about sleep let's keep going yeah that's the nice thing about quarantine is like you can get so much more sleep well some of us

some of us have been working this entire time so i don't want to say that for everyone but at least for me like I'll be sleeping yeah I love it I love it when I like don't sleep it affects my person I'm like a different person my emotional and social interactions are just jacked up yeah sure to sleep last night nice you seem refreshed yeah you do Got a great energy about you. Thank you. Yeah, I feel like so much of our brain we, like, don't have access to. Like, we have access to, like, 5% of what is happening in our brain, just, like, consciousness-wise. And so, like, all that stuff that's happening behind closed doors is, like, malfunctioning when we don't have sleep and

we just don't realize it i think um so yeah guys get sleep sleep up rest up uh what is something you think is overrated uh the rat race especially here in hollywood it's just like you know what's the point what's the goal and especially after quarantine you're sort of seeing how unnecessary a lot of that was a lot of like behaviors for me or like just like work ethic behavior is just sort of not getting the sleep i mean you're not team no sleep you're not uh about that grind life i'm not about i'll sleep when i'm dead because that's not how sleep works yeah that's death is not when you're dead you're dead like you don't need sleep when you're dead so don't bother and you might get to death faster because you aren't sleeping yeah it like causes heart disease and shit right yeah it's very very bad for you am i allowed to say am i allowed to

say the shit word? You are. I feel like are people kind of opening up? I know other countries are, but is Hollywood opening back up and starting to produce stuff? They just scaled back again. They opened up. I think they did it

because they wanted to suppress the protests and get everyone back to being overworked and overtired. Get back in the rat race. But now people are getting sick again. So they just closed bars again in Hollywood. Yeah. And they were, it was crazy.

I remember like the day of one of the last protests that I went to. It was like the one where there was like 20,000 people. Not the Pride one, but the one right before that one and there were lines around the block for these bars like for people they were like well fuck it I mean we was at the protest now we at tequila I was like no now you're inside

no inside breathing everyone's breathing each other's air like it might be filtered through that but like how can that filter a virus you know what I'm saying like it's crazy yeah apparently you're safer outside i have two friends who uh got covet who live in texas um and i'm pretty sure they're both from being out at bars one i know for sure my little sister i don't even know why i said friends my little sister was out at the bar at brunch and immediately got COVID and she had been quarantining for so

long and just like immediately got COVID. She took the indoor seat? Yeah. I think everyone was inside sitting for brunch and you know, Greg Abbott like had opened up Texas. And so this was a couple of weeks after they'd opened up. So people were thinking like, oh, you know, maybe it is really safe. And then she went out one time and got COVID. And she's great. She's not, she's like pretty low on the symptom scale. So I'm happy that she's going to, you know, pull through.

But I felt so bad. She was like, no, it was a reckless decision. Because I was like, no, you were probably, were you outside? She was like, no, I was inside. I was like, oh, well, was it like not a lot of people then, right? She was like, no, it was wall-to-wall packed. I was like, no, I was inside. I was like, oh, well, was it like not a lot of people then? Right. She was like, no, it was wall to wall packed. I was like, okay, okay, okay. So that's so crazy. Cause like how many people in that room has have COVID is just going to, you know, spread exponentially. Right. Everyone had to have had COVID after they left.

Right. Yeah. Texas is Texas and Florida are having like really bad numbers. I saw, uh, my wife is a doctor and she was looking at research that was saying that it's not as bad this time because when they test people, the viral load is lower. But I think it's just because more young people are getting it. But that's still not good. It's still being spread and more old people are now going to get it because young people got it. And it's happening during the summer also, which is, which is kind of scary.

So maybe it's not as lethal as it was, but I mean, wait till like, you know, the weather changes and our, you know, let's see how people's immune systems respond to it. It was horrible in March.

There were like 20 year olds, 30 year 30-year-olds dying from this shit. Yeah. Yeah. This is a shit word. I know. We really need to do something about that because it's getting out of hand. That's the second one. I mean, come on.

What do we need to do about it, Jack? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Did you lose any sponsors? Are they dropping left and right? I think the Coke brothers, Coke Industries actually just backed out, unfortunately. They weren't, they weren't like pushed away by the fuck the Coke brothers at the beginning.

They waited for me to. No, they love that. They were like, that's free advertisement. Thank you. Yeah, we fuck. We fuck. They take it to mean we fuck. We fuck. They take it to mean we fuck. It's amazing to think back to like the beginning of the pandemic when the thing that we were all worried about was like washing your hands and staying inside.

And now it's like, go outside if you're going to see people and wear a fucking mask. Like wear a mask was like the 11th thing. And they were like, maybe don't wear a mask was like the 11th thing and they were like maybe don't wear a mask because health care workers need it and it's yeah turns out they were wrong about a lot of stuff oh it's like how did we just boggle this worse than every other country when we had a head start we decided not to take I mean, we had no leadership. And then we just made every horrible, like, every horrible decision. Because Americans are so fucking hard-headed and selfish. And it's that thing of, like, if, oh, we stopped the problem by staying inside.

Oh, then the problem wasn't real in the first place. Let's all get outside. And then everybody gets outside, gets fucking COVID, and is like, okay, let's go back to what we were doing before. You got to touch that stove. It may be glowing red. Maybe, you know, told us the stove was hot. The stove is a flame y'all. And we saw it. Fake news. Can't trust China. Fake news. Italy also in on it. Oh, it's just like how many people, like, does everyone have to bury someone to like, understand this is real? Everyone in my family is a health care worker so um which is kind of stereotypical but whatever

um but so it's like i've been hearing frontline stories and it's just it's it's just frustrating to see people undermine it yeah when you read the stories from the front lines or talk to people who have worked on the front lines, it's absolutely not a joke. What is a, what's a myth finally? What's something people think is true, you know, to be false or vice versa. Ooh, this is okay. So women, especially of color are paid fairly in Hollywood. So that's my myth. Yeah. And actually Lacey, I'd like to hear your perspective on this, especially of color are paid fairly in Hollywood. So that's my myth. Um, yeah.

And actually Lacey, I'd like to hear your perspective on this, but like, I know for a fact that, um, an actress, a woman of color was paid less than a male co-star who was lower than her on the call sheet.

And they have the same reps. This happens all the time. I mean, you guys remember that Sony leak that Sony hack back in 2014. I talk about it constantly like the the like institutional racism in those emails and all and not just that but like the way that they justify it to themselves is like the producer who was like denzel is my favorite actor but we can't like make equalizer too and like that's just reflected at every level like

i always bring back the denzel thing because that's what stuck out to me but you know that that sort of thinking is at every level right right and it's never because like in other industries the institutionalized racism is kind of like well the black people just aren't as smart or we just had to hire them because you know optics where and then they end up having to work a billion times harder to even just be there than somebody who sat on their fucking ass the entire time that they've had that job. Not to say that there aren't white people who aren't working hard or very smart. They just don't realize how much harder we have to work to even be considered.

Like, we have to be exceptional. So in entertainment, it's like, come on now. Black people have such a heavy hand and influence in entertainment. To pay anybody less, to pay any black person less is absolutely insane because all you do is steal from us all you do is steal from us so i mean personally i obviously can't speak to if i'm making more or less money than my counterparts um when i worked on florida girls we were favored nations and i think that that i mean but we're fucking women and we're great you know so we we're not we have no problem with being favored nations we think that that's wonderful however

on other shows I don't know I have a very shark uh aggressive lawyer though and she's out here on the on the streets getting the tea and she's always like pushing for me to get more money so I hope that I am but I there's no way to know, you know? She found out by accident, my friend. She just, I think he mentioned it in conversation. She's like, wait, what? Oh, I wish more men would just mention it in conversation. It's a part of this reason why we never fucking know. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, more transparency would be great. I know that public companies have to be transparent about, not that that has stopped them from paying themselves obscene amounts of money, but, uh, yeah, I like that sort of transparency would help, especially at this moment when people are actually paying attention and focusing on accountability. Right. And also being higher on the call sheet, like it, I guess for everyone who's not in Hollywood, like that is something. So you get ranked by where usually how famous you are or how involved you are in the show. So if you're number one, you're the lead of the show. You're probably in most scenes like you're performing the most in the show. And what's crazy is the last show that I was on, I was number one. It's like something that's going to come out on a platform that I don't want to say. And I was treated horribly.

I was treated like I was an extra. There would be days where I would get no food because all the extras ate the food. And I had been sitting in hair and makeup since 5 a.m. My first AD would push me, physically push me to Mark's, even though I was walking there. One time he tripped and he broke his fall on me can you imagine being on a set where like I'm not fucking Nicole Kidman but can you imagine being Nicole Kidman and a grip or a PA or 80 trips and it's like let me break my fall on Nicole Kidman yeah what they treated me like garbage I went to the hospital it was just a nightmare experience it was because I was fucking black I didn't get to be special or number one

it was my first number one on a call sheet I was so excited about it and they treated me like a goddamn slave so you know and I have to be quiet about it I can't even say who it is or what you know what I mean like I was trying not to lose my job by being like I guess I have to let this man push me until an actor came on set uh who's a wonderful wonderful man I can't say who because you might be able to figure this out and he looked looked at me and he was like, babe, why are they treating you like this? This is not okay. He was like, do you want me to say something? He was like, you have to say something. Is he another actor? Yes. And he works, he's on a different show, but he was just guesting for the day as kind of really

a favor. And he was like, no, you can't, this can't stand. And so really a favor and he was like sweet no you can't this can't stand and so finally in public i was like please stop pushing me wow my god lacy yeah so it's bad out here that is crazy i mean i think in general hollywood has been i mean as we're seeing with a lot of the you know sexual assaults that are coming to light, that Hollywood has been a place where they've sort of taken advantage of the fact that there's not a lot of accountability and, like,

bullies have thrived on that sort of thing and I think there's also a tendency for like, people who treat other people like shit, that's almost a sign of, wow, they must be talented to be able to get away with that.

Leah Michelle had to, uh, and I had heard that from people who worked with her on different sets. They were like, she's my nightmare person. Like she was the worst person I've ever worked with. And this is from black folks that I know who are like, don't ever say anything that Don't say I told you. So then when people started saying it on Twitter,

I was like, holy shit. Oh no. I was 11. I was cackling. It was funny to me. Wow. Yeah, for people who didn't follow that story, Lea Michele from Glee.

I mean, probably most people did but leah michelle who was one of the leads on glee just apparently aggressively cartoonishly mean and evil to everybody on set like i'm gonna shit in your wig yeah i'm gonna shit in your wig she was a cartoon villain yeah like not even a well-written one like the the edges weren't rounded it was just like yeah when you think about it probably was really entertaining you're like wow this person is right this awful this is crazy yeah if it wasn't a straight up workplace yeah exactly like it's super entertaining but then it's like until like you're sort of like the butt of it like you're at right you know at the end of her behavior and

then it's just enabled yeah yeah totally encouraged allowed at the worst it's like that's just lia being lia see i wanted lacy i wish you i wish we got some diva lacy or you had the opportunity to have some diva lacy or you had the opportunity to have some diva lacy on that set where you were on at the top of the call sheet like right not only can i not be shitty i have to worry that i'm being difficult if i'm like hey can this man stop putting his hands on me is that could we could that happen they're like oh no you uppity negro get get her out of here get us another one no one will even notice right how uh i get dragged out she speak to like the diversity of the like crew and like the people who are working on the set oh it's all white you never really have diverse crews even if the front

of the camera is uh diverse it's rare that behind the camera it's diverse and that's why we have so many issues with lighting and makeup and hair is because there's never really – I keep my hair always styled. I rarely go to a set where they have to do much to my hair because I would never dream of coming in with an afro. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? I'd look terrible. I'd look like I was in 12 Years a Slave. Yeah, there's just – and, I mean, we're working on it,

but unfortunately everything seems to always fall on the shoulders of us. It's like, we have to fix the problem we didn't make in every aspect of our lives, which I've been doing now in every aspect of my life with UCB, the comedy theater that I came up out of, we're like fully doing an overhaul there. And it's like all this free labor, uh, to make people not racist. to make people not racist right yeah and i think that that's you know when white people are asking their black friends to like what should i do what should i read it's like that's labor you're asking them to do that they're not compensated for that and that's exhausting right if you want to ask your black friend about race cash out the fifty dollars first right and even then the cut row can only be 10 minutes because that's not enough for a full course yeah like paid tuition if you want the entitlement of it all you know right yeah yeah entitlement is a great word uh that we're gonna run into when we come back from this break uh let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on.

Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it.

Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Lacey, you were just mentioning that Dilbert is still trending.

were just mentioning that Dilbert is still trending um Scott Adams is claiming that he was fired for being uh white at some point yes he said on Twitter I lost my tv show for being white when UPN decided it would focus on an African-American audience that was the third job I lost for being a white the other two were in corporate america they told me directly get out of here whitey now he didn't say that last part but why do like why do like white supremacists always pronounce white with an h in front of it white white white white always i need them to keep doing that because that's how I can find them that we sort them out yeah but obviously he's trying to blame black people for losing Dilbert when it was like the show I loved the cartoon and then like the show kind of sucked and it had no audience and that's how tv shows work like there's so many white networks I could

have picked it up if it was good yeah the. The story of Scott Adams first came across my, that's his name, right? Scott Adams? Yeah. First came across my radar because there was this like profile of him where they like went and visited him after, you know, he had become a multimillionaire.

They were like sitting around his dog bird shaped pool and he was like telling the story about how like the, the woman waiting on them was his ex wife who had then become his personal assistant, uh, and like waited on him and his new wife. And he talked about how he like forgot or lost the ability to speak for like a year. And just like the strangest like neurological like very very odd odd stuff and uh also like a very manipulative human being right that's crazy like wait so your ex-wife is like you're like carla can you go to the kitchen and fetch me and my new wife some condoms? Yes.

That's crazy. He already had sort of a cult leader vibe, even though there were only a handful of people in his cult. And then it seems like as things have progressed, he's tried to parlay Dilbert into a sort of white supremacist, a misogynistic cult. That's like based on all of his followers. Wow. Very interesting, strange and terrifying human being. Like, yikes.

I mean, I feel like Barstool sports is like low key, like doing that. They're like cultivating their audience. They're like, no, I can't be canceled because my audience loves racism and i'm like that is an excellent scam they're like look who's you blacks aren't listening to my show that's why you didn't know it was racist

because you're not listening that's right that is kind of an interesting game to play like what currently kind of mainstreamed or just sort of accepted uh tolerated brands will become the next donald trump like the next like cult suicide cult of personality uh racism i'm going with charmin those red bears something's up there something is going on they They're like, look, racists got a shit too, okay? Do they though? Yeah, that's a good question. J.K. Rowling had a different way that you could deal with shit, which was just make it vanish from your

asshole. I think was her theory of why they didn't need toilet paper in the wizarding world. But that is a sidebar. That is a fantasy. Yeah, that is just, oh man, my one true wish. But let's talk about the person who is currently occupying that cult leader status, and that is Donald Trump.

There was a protest where people in Florida, a lot of old white people getting out there and protesting a parade that a bunch of other old white Floridians were having to celebrate Donald Trump's birthday. So there's a video of these people going around on their golf carts. So sad. And then, you know, people yelling at them. And like three seconds in, one of the people who's protesting is like, you guys are racists for supporting Trump. And the person shouts back, yeah, white power, white power. That's like one of the first things you hear in the video.

And the president retweeted it and was like, thank you to the great people of the villages, which is the retirement community that the people in the golf carts were from. He eventually deleted it, but I don't know. It's just, it's almost getting boring to keep showing all the open white supremacy coming from his Twitter account. It's like, how much can you sustain outrage? Like, you'd be emotionally just depleted.

Yeah. And that's the point. I mean, that's why the police officers have been driving around black neighborhoods at 3 a.m because it's like we've got to get you fatigued like we got to get you tired and trump has done that he's done uh like look bitch i feel like i've been running a marathon since 2016 at this point yeah he is retweeting like white power i mean he could just get on twitter and say nigger with the hard art and i'd be white power i mean he could just get on twitter and say nigger with the hard r and i'd be like well i mean he's still the president i don't know what

right yeah what we gonna do right yeah there's nothing we can do well yeah why doesn't he have to be why is he never held accountable for anything like just continues failing upwards i mean that's the question is whether he's going to be held accountable this reelection. I think the mainstream media, there's like sort of a wave of energy that people are like, man, he's really doing badly in the polls. This is all like a lot of things are starting to turn against him. story that recently came out where Russia had been putting bounties on U.S. soldiers, basically paying Afghan fighters to kill U.S. soldiers. And he and his administration knew about it, weren't doing anything about it. And, you know, it's almost like all these different things that are the main things that have been able to puncture his support uh the russia thing like after the stinky and helsinki happened uh with putin next to him and he like totally fucked it up you know his support went down and then charlottesville was the other

time and he's like leaning into the racism so it's almost almost like, I don't know, people are feeling good, but how do you guys feel? I feel cautiously, cautiously optimistic. I think he's just hoping that there's enough racism to get him through this next election. So he's really doubling down on it now. Cause he's like, fuck, these are my people. These are all I have left. Uh, cause I think that most conservative or conservatives who aren't, aren't like fucking crazy, um, which a lot of them are, but the ones who are not wildly insane, they're like, we can't continue to vote for this chaos. And it's not even because of the racism. They just can't vote for him because they're like, we don't know what he's going to do and he's killing us. So they're just like on, they're like, look, we don't care about the blacks or the browns.

We never have. We're conservatives. But we do care about our money we care about the fact that we got one stimulus check and that this man is out here trying to fight the sun and we do care about that i mean it's like look at our these are our choices you know like there's two parties one's conservative and pretends to be good and the other one's more conservative and they're like we don't give a fuck and everyone else is like well i guess we can't do anything about it right neither party's helping us they it's just that one is appealing liberals appeal to your moral high ground even though there's so much

racism amongst liberals and then you know and then they don't get the shit done that they're supposed to and they don't deserve the shit done that they're supposed to. And they don't deserve the term liberals. Right. Because they're not really about their life. And I mean, look at us. Right now,

we have to vote for Joe Biden. And guys, I think I'm going to start some merch for Joe Biden. I don't want to vote for him. And I know you don't want to vote for him either, but we don't have a choice.

And Joe Biden said, you know, what if the cops stopped shooting people in the heart and started shooting them in the leg? And so I propose leg 2020.

That's what we're going for, guys. We just want to get shot in the leg. It's better than the heart. Shoot me in the leg 2020. Just wing me. And I think that's something we can all get excited about. You know what I mean? It's not the heart.

I mean, I didn't even know police officers were like you're supposed to shoot to kill. Like, why do you have to shoot? Yeah, that's how you anytime you draw a weapon, you're supposed to shoot to kill like why do you have to shoot yeah that's how you anytime you draw a weapon you're supposed to shoot to kill i don't know why i think it's like if you maim them and then they shoot you and then you got so you get you gotta shoot to kill it's something like that but leg 2020 is really you know the movement that would change the good news is there's no veins in the legs, no arteries. You can't bleed to death based on a mistake that some cop made.

You see, that's why this man is not saying anything. That's why he's keeping so quiet. Because we get gems like leg 2020 every time he talks. Joe Biden knows that he can just silently ride this to the finish line. And honestly, I think it's the best decision ever. Like we don't understand the climate that's happening outside of Twitter, outside of Facebook.

And that silent majority that Donald Trump talks about is real. We're just praying that they're on our side this time, because I remember we were arguing about Bernie, arguing about Warren. Meanwhile, all the old people was like, Joe Biden's our guy. And we weren't hearing anything from Joe Biden. Not a peep. And then all of a sudden, he just showed up to the primaries and was like, hey, y'all. Vote for me, Jack. Shoot him in the leg. And we're like, hell yeah, Joe. You ain't got to shoot him in the heart, Jack. That's my favorite version of him.

Calls everyone Jack. in the heart jack that's my favorite version of him calls everyone jack right i mean it's just that story about him see it's like i hate even talking about it because it's just like we need someone that's not trump to win and it seems like that's our option but like the story of him like you know basically fingering an employee is like that's actually assaulting yeah yeah like yeah i'm gonna vote for this dude i mean i guess i do but but shit it's terrible and it's terrible for women and i feel so bad for survivors women and men uh because basically we had to tell tara reed hey sis we believe you but also we dying so leg 2020 like and that's fucked that's so fucked that we have to be like we gotta vote for this for touch it creepy joe massage rubbing joe also he's a full-on

predator and sexual assaulter uh we gotta vote for him because he got less rapes uh than than donald trump has yeah this is like 25 this is like some fucked up Sophie's Choice shit. Some reverse Sophie's Choice shit. It's horrible. And I feel so bad for survivors because I know if you have to go in there and check that box and know that you're voting for someone who has assaulted someone, you know, that's just devastating. And I can understand why they wouldn't want to vote. But please, if you can, please vote. We wouldn't want to vote um but please if you can please vote we don't want to vote either nobody wants to do this i'm trying to get us excited

nobody wants to vote i think joe should just come out and be that i think if that was his campaign i would respect him more he was like look y'all know i don't even want to be here y'all don't want me to be here uh but i'm the only person who can win look i may die in office so my vice president y'all y'all fuck with them y'all like her all right yeah yeah i mean if it's any consolation he is like sort of the sun is setting right you know he's like forgetting words and stuff so it's like he's essentially gonna to be a puppet for whoever. Right. Yeah. Against the Democratic Party. Yeah. I'm curious.

I mean, that's the best we can hope for. So the Trump's bullying thing, he's like bullied his way through life and had great success to this point because America is completely broken. is completely broken i i'm wondering seems like it's starting to stop working because uh he's actually in charge of stuff and we can just like see his results and you know people like a bully after they start being like just fucking up and everybody can see it they start looking pathetic and like out of touch and i'm hoping that's what's happening but i don't know like people have pointed out that he's at the same point he was in the summer before the 2016 election basically yeah it's like sort of you have you guys seen that movie jawbreaker and rosa mcgowan at the okay well she's basically like a big mean girl and a bully she

kills someone and she's exposed at the end and there's basically like a big mean girl and a bully she kills someone and she's exposed at the end and there's just like the image of her just sort of finally getting her just desserts you know and like it like the Harvey Weinstein thing he's been treating people like garbage for like decades and decades and everyone just accepted it and then Me Too happened and suddenly you know the public is like oh rapists are bad right they and suddenly, you know, the public is like, oh, rapists are bad. Right. They're bad. Right.

Unless, you know, but not that bad because women are mostly affected. So it's not that bad, but it's kind of bad. Right. Right. And God, when Donald Trump opens his mouth, it's just, there's too many quotes. Like he literally said, like, you know, you know i went to dc like 17 times and now i'm the president and we're like yeah that's not that we hate that good we hate that and also it feels like donald trump is on a live television show where they had to cut back to

studio early and he's just has to stall that's how every time he talks that's how it sounds he's like oh yeah uh experience uh experience is a very good word very uh how many letters in that word such a good word tasty word love that word um the best yeah it always it always seems like there's someone off to the side just making the stretch stretch it out keep going we're having technical difficulties still paying attention to you it's like i know it's like they're asking him to stretch out and you're just like just just say very in front of every adjective just say very more very very very very good double your word count it's like the learning to double space your papers uh using bigger font yeah right now we're trump's using 72 font right now just trying to skate through the rest of his presidency. Like, what?

Yeah, I feel like they both, like, both of their campaigns are probably, like, the less we can have this person be in public, the better. Like, it's like a campaign of who can hide their candidate the best. Right, it's us. Because even, like, his... Because even just, like like going out at a rally isn't working anymore he's like starting to look weak and uh you know yeah they said there were going to be a hundred thousand people at that rally in tulsa they did you guys talk about how they were removing the social distancing stickers in no so in tulsa trump staffers basically there was a program that was put in place so that this stadium could open and that they could have this rally.

And a part of that program, one of the stipulations was that they had to social distance. So they had stickers, the stadium in Tulsa, that they were putting in between each chair, like, please don't sit here, please don't sit here. And then Trump staffers physically removed the stickers. And there's, like, video of it. They were physically removing these stickers. Billboard broke the story of all places do they want their base to die before november that's the crazy part but after that you need them alive but at least until november i mean because like they say covid can kill you like very quickly so it's really everything's so short-sighted and stupid like there's no

there's no logic behind any of these choices it's all just his feelings his feelings his opinions no one gives a fuck i'm gonna say the fuck word yeah yeah we we open every episode with the fuck word many fuck words i just can't imagine being such a deep narcissist that i will ruin the world so that i can look just look good for vanity it's not even like he's doing a lot of cash grabbing his kids are but like it's just a vanity thing for him he's gonna destroy the world because we don't like him yeah yeah that so that's the thing is that like he the the Tulsa rally really proved that like he there's no uh you know softening of his stance or like his racism or it's only going to get more severe uh in response to the fact that like people aren't showing up or people you know the

more uh there's pushback the more that there's like signs that he's losing the harder he's gonna push because that's the only thing he knows how to do because he's a bully and uh it doesn't seem like it should work but who the hell knows it didn't seem like it should work in 2016. I do want to talk about the the social distancing thing and the anger over people wearing masks like we've talked about it here and there. And there's like plenty of viral videos of like people going into grocery stores without masks and like fighting the security guards because they don't want to wear a mask. And, you know, the thing that seems so obvious to me and you guys is, you know,

we should just say up top, like common sense would dictate when you refuse to wear a mask, you're doing the equivalent of like, not just not wearing a seatbelt, but also not allowing anyone in your car to wear a seatbelt. And also anyone who passes you on the road to not wear a seatbelt. It's like an insanely selfish, reckless violation of the social contract. selfish reckless violation of the social contract but there there seems to be a whole group of the population for whom this has become politicized and they're just like i don't think they're dumber inherently i think that they are being like lied to in a way that i don't know and i and i also think that the idea that like the way we're dealing with it on our side by posting videos and just like dunking on how stupid they are is probably not helping because it's,

you know, I think the agreement that drove them into the arms of like Fox news and Donald Trump in the first place was at least partially mainstream, you know, quote, liberal culture uh not taking them serious as human beings yeah like they tend to shame ignorance so the cure for ignorance is is knowledge right teaching so instead of just writing them off it's just like yeah it's dehumanizing right people and that's also because liberals we got all the popping people we got all the entertainers really like the good ones we got all the comedians we got like you know and we have the intellectuals the people who went to

college like so we all you know sometimes that does backfire where it's like we have this elitism and then we already think you're stupid garbage and you act that way so instead of being like oh you know we really need you to wear this mask and like please just do it for the country we're like oh look at this bitch she got on a bb t-shirt and her and her eyebrows are from 2001 who is this like yo my eyebrows in 2001 were not cute they were barely there like it took a weed why we do that why do we do that and that's like almost a direct quote from a tweet about the lady in north hollywood they're like bitch we listen to no hope we eyebrows from 2001 and i was like her eyebrows are thin and like yeah you're right it's like we are we're we're kind of we're not

kind of we're very mean to conservatives and we're good at we're right it's like we are we're kind of we're not kind of we're very mean to conservatives and we're good at we're better at it than they are like they just have like racism which we're like that's old guys you can be like alright blackie we're like ooh I'm black we have science they don't they don't really good at dunking

like look at Tommy Lauren anytime she tries to repost something it's just never I'm never like oh that was a good one, Tammy. Like, me. Nailed it. Yeah. And, but I think that, like, we are comfortable in our bubble of superior dunking where we're just like, oh, that was awesome. and like enjoying uh each other's like wit while the people are just becoming more and more aggrieved to the point that they're now like bought into this suicide cult like it's literally become a

suicide cult and you know i like i don't think it's a thing about like it's our fault for what happened even though i'm sure that's what they would say but i do think like just moving forward and from a like how to be productive and how to address like this huge divide productively um it's it's something that we need to like figure out a way to to bridge that divide in some way um it's hard because the ruling class has their own set of priorities and it's not the well-being of, you know, this society does not value the feelings or the health or the sanity of its citizens. So, yeah. So how are we gonna, like, I know that I'm an optimistic person, but then I also like sort of look at the facts and i'm like well this is gonna be a lot of

work right yeah i thought that covid would be that kind of not equalizer in the terms of madonna who was like this is the great equalizer i live in a i live in the parasite mansion and i'm just like you like no not that she was crazy heel. Basically in solitary in my bathtub with rose petals. Right. And production value. There is a woman in the corner playing the harp, but I am just like you. Her black son does not deserve that bullshit. That poor black son.

I be thinking about her black son sometimes, just like, damn. I hope one day we can save him. At least he's rich. Blink twice. Is his name David? Blink twice, David. He was like, I've been been blinking my whole life y'all never come get your boy i'm like i know we legally couldn't um madonna did steal him too so right yeah she did right uh but but my point with this was is like i thought we were coming to a point we we're like, look at the fucking government, y'all.

Everyone's out here getting one $1,200 check. The billionaires are cleaning up. I thought we were all about to just get on the same page. And then this mask thing kind of polarized the opposite side where they were like, you're trying to make me wear a feist condom. And then they just went back. They completely reverted. I thought they were going to be with us. I'm dunking on them right now. I'm an asshole and they're the people who never wear a dick condom.

So they keep having babies and then feeding their ignorance. Like, wear a face condom. Wear a body condom. Go away. Look, there's plenty of lovely people in the South. I'm not saying this is all of you guys. It's just that there's this radical right-wing side that is just so intolerable. But you're right jack it's because

we've treated them like they're not humans for so long and i i'm doing it now i know i was just i was just thinking i was just doing that i was like put a body condom on it go away like whoa physic calm down by the way because i do love i the next time if i ever purchase condoms, I will say six dick condoms, please. But, you know, there's racism and, you know, all sorts of things fault as much as just this particular like where we're at right now in this particular moment just dunking on them and assuming they are actually you know mentally stupider than you are is is not productive and probably not accurate um i also think it's, you know, our nation's founding myth is built on this idea of like the founding fathers and the Boston Tea Party.

And like, when you look at what they were actually mad at England about, it was sort of them being petty and petulant and in the same way. Like they, a lot of their were uh the equivalent of we don't want to wear a mask uh sort of we don't want to pay y'all taxes no more like and then i love it you know what i don't like about current racism is it feels so gaslighting and it's even it's all emotionally abusive but i hate that now white folks are like, oh, racists are n-word. So I'm going to do and act and be a racist.

But then when you call me out for it, I'm like, no, I wasn't. Like, I missed, I don't want to say I missed, but remember Bubba and all the other reckless racists back in the day in the 60s would just be like, nigger. Like, you knew they were racist. And they're like, hell yeah, we racist. And then maybe I could navigate that better somehow. But now I feel like I have to tiptoe around you lying and

gaslighting me constantly when I know you are racist. Yeah. Speaking of gaslighting, did you see the thing where the Golden Girls episode where they're wearing like mud masks was taken down because they were worried that it would be misinterpreted as a blackface. Yeah, and it's like, we're not idiots, guys. We know the difference. It seems like, that seems like gaslighting to me. They're like, fine, we'll just take everything down because... It's like passive-aggressive.

No one will ever wear a face mask on TV because, ooh. They're acting like angry teenagers. Well, we'll just, fine, we'll just take everything down. Right, ooh. They're acting like angry teenagers. Well, we'll just, fine. We'll just take everything down. Right, exactly. Alright, guys, let's take another quick break and we'll come back to talk about the fact that space smells like shit. I've been thinking about you.

I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110.

This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only

the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is la plática like you've never heard it before.

We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television.

We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio.

We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Really quickly, I want to talk about the cnn story that is borderline like one of those things where you look at a story and you're like really cnn this is what we have to pay attention to at this time uh but i am going to pay attention to it at this time because I do find it surprising that so they created a perfume called Eau de Space. try to replicate the smell of space so that when astronauts got to the space station they wouldn't be like thrown off by how weird it smells up there which is surprising to me i assumed that

if space was an odorless uh area like why would there be a smell in space? But apparently there is. Space smells to such a degree that they were worried that astronauts were going to be up there and just not be able to, like, hold their shit together because of how weird it smells. So now you can get this scent in a bottle. So you, too, can uh what space smells like and they say it has an almost bitter kind of smell in addition to being smoky and burned uh astronauts describe the smell as a mix of gunpowder seared steak raspberry and rum this smells good sounds like someone's cooking i mean i guess if it's like so overpowering, maybe it's bad. But yeah, that doesn't, like that sounds like a regular perfume,

which would also be weird if you went up to space and it just smelled like overwhelmingly like you're in a validator with somebody who's like wearing way too much cologne. It would smell like Curve for men. Right. It's Drakkar Noir. I would have loved that in the early 2000s that was that would have been my thing right and i browsed and curve for men um all right and then also uh i want to talk quickly about the new social media trend that I'm sure we're all following along on, Parley or Par...

Parley. Yeah, I think that's how it's pronounced. It should be Parler, but they want to be bougie and French. Yeah, two things I always associate with white supremacists. Yeah, Parley. Ooh, this rebrand. This is a new rebrand for them because you know they was doing uh khakis and new balances and that's not really sexy but french the french

so apparently there's a there's a big migration going on from twitter to the social media app in response to trump having his tweet where he basically instructed people to start shooting looters, you know, Twitter was like, that's not okay. And so in response, a bunch of right wing people have abandoned Twitter to go join apparently Milo Yiannopoulos and Laura Loomer and other people who had been banned from Twitter for being too openly Nazis uh were have been there for a while hanging out and now like Ted Cruz waiting for people to come over finally uh Eric Jr. or Don Jr. and Eric uh Trump and Giuliani and all those people were already there. But now like Jim Jordan, Nikki Haley, like sort of the more mainstream Republican Trump sycophants are moving over. So it might become a thing.

I don't know how to feel. Cause I'm like, bye. Yeah. Get off Twitter. I hate you there. But then I'm also like, what y'all doing over there?

But then I don't want to make an account just to be like, what y'all doing over here? Like I would never talk on it. I would just follow people and be like, Hmm, what y'all just got to make sure y'all ain't starting to race war. Okay. It's going to be like,

well, it is going to a like a race war echo chamber of a bunch of like you know racist fascist people so and you have to have a membership to join like i try to go on it before this episode just to see and it won't let me like you gotta pay i don't i don't know if you gotta pay but you have to like maybe give them an email address make an account like on twitter you can go see people's shit without having to have a twitter but right here yeah they want to protect their hate speech yeah exactly and but the stuff like their terms of use are very specific like they're more strict than twitter uh in a lot of ways so they it's just that they're choosing to ignore all the you know how are they more strict if

they're like, yeah, come on over here, racist. Do your racism to your heart's content. Like how is, how can they? It's just the terms. Oh, okay. They ban offensive speech, hate speech, or no, they ban, what are they?

Instead of allowing fake news, they advise users to not purposely share rumors about other users, people you know are false. They ban inviting the other party to fisticuffs because apparently the app was designed by a time traveler from the 20s. Panama! Panama! 1920s. Yeah, it's very very strange maybe that absolves them from legal liability maybe if they're like look we said don't do that stuff even though we allowed that right i think that's probably what it is well it also sounds like a suggestion more than a like like please don't

engage in fisticuffs like highly recommended right it's and i think like they also had to scale back because initially they were released as like a complete free speech you can say fake news type of shit and now they're like you know they updated their terms of agreement to right to say like you can't you can't um incite a call to violence which i mean initially you could. So strict. But in May, following the Trump, Trump's tweets being flagged by Twitter, they got, Parlay got nearly 200,000 new users, largely Saudi Arabian supporters of MBS, which is an interesting demographic to be courting.

But it also broke the app because they were not, they're not, uh, I'm interested, like somebody needs to do a deep dive into like who owns and runs this. Uh, but whoever owns and runs it is apparently not putting that much money into it because those 200,000 new users completely broke the app and it was inoperable for the whole first month that they're supposed to be trying to woo new people so they were like oh we didn't know you guys would actually come oh crap okay 200,000 is not that many either right added 200,000 like would they even notice

probably not yeah that's crazy that's like you had a party for like 500 guests and you got like uh one uh cracker tray and a bottle of wine you're like oh people came hold on yeah uh fire festival um well yeah and lacy like you said we already have a twitter for white supremacists that's called twitter um and like this is just a platform for people who got kicked off of twitter um so i don't know i feel like people anybody who like gets a lot of good positive feedback on their post on this platform will probably go over to twitter and post the same thing because they want to get the, the likes. Right.

If they can, if they're allowed, but it would be nice. Yeah. They just left and didn't come back. Sweet, sweet validation. Have fun over there.

Yeah. I won't be able to dunk on anybody anymore, which that's sad, but I'll take it. Yeah. Yeah. Well guys, it has been a pleasure having you on the show today.

Fizza, where can people find you and follow you? On the internet. At Fizza Dasani on... Not at your home? I mean, I'm here. I'm here. I'm just chilling. At Fizza Dasani.

I'll spell it for you. I don't expect you to know it. F-I-Z-Z-A-A D-O-S-A-N-I and then if you throw a dot com on there it'll take you to my website as well. One Z two A's. But it's not Fizza. It's just Fizza. One of the A's is silent.

I don't know which one. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying or some other work of social media? Yeah, there was one tweet that cracked me up. It is from at National Park. It's a woman named Georgia Park who's the digital communications director for Bernie. She tweeted, when your frontal cortex is done developing, I think you should get to hear a little ding. That would be awesome.

I think that'd be so satisfying. And that's a true milestone. You know, 20, we don't celebrate that enough. What age is that? Is it 12? About 25. Oh. Mid twenties. Yeah. And then the frontal cortex is like, you know, it's vital to like impulse control, problem solving, judgment, reasoning, all that. So it's like, you know, it's a big reason why old men don't need to pursue and groom little women.

Lacey, yours was done at 12. The rest of us, take 12 points. No, mine dinged. It actually dinged at 12. And I was like, I'm alive. No, that makes sense. That makes sense as to why I'm still quite so reckless. I mean, I'm not 25.

I'm 28. But I'm like, damn, so I just got a brain like three years ago? Well, damn. Damn. It just makes a lot of sense. A bitch doesn't have no brain. That adds up. I know.

I look at some of my choices in my 20s. I'm like, oh. Yeah. Didn't have no brain. No. Shit was doing something. Something else. Lacey, where can people find you?

And what's a tweet you've been enjoying? Guys, you can find me at D-I-V-A-L-A-C-I, Diva Lacey, on all platforms. And if you want to listen to my podcast, Scam Goddess, that's on all platforms as well. And a tweet that I've really been enjoying. And this is, like, a thing. Mamadou was on the show recently. He's, like, one of my closest friends. And I always, he likes grime music, which is like, and I think Miles does too.

Miles loves, you know, such a big music head. But I think grime sounds so stupid. I think London rap is so funny and bad. And so here's a tweet from Ahmed. Screws Loose Leaf is his handle. It says, UK rappers be like, she suck on my willy. It's quite delightful. If I catch you in West Gloucestershire, you'll catch the rifle.

Yeah. Yeah. So that's a little British rap for you guys. British. Yeah. Those bars, man. Those are pubs, as they say over there. Yeah, those are pubs. Pubs are Or pubs As they say over there
