I don't even, I don't know what I'm allowed to be saying right now. I'm not trying to get fired, sued, hurt. Oh, so you were doing something interesting out there?

Interesting. I was doing something kind of interesting out there, not going to lie. I think if you just like look up the sammies it's like a partnership for public service award thingy i'm involved with that um i just got back from washington i got into a car accident in la that's another thing that's new are you okay welcome home thank you yeah i'm okay i got this a bruise. Oh, this is so much better. And it doesn't hurt. It just looks bad.

It kind of looks like a tattoo. My car is totaled. I am fine. Oh, my God. Physically, emotionally working on it. But yeah, that's what's new with me. I'm currently in my bed. If you're in bed, that means you have to have blankies over you. bed if you're if you're in bed that means you have

to have blankies over you but if you're just simply sitting on your bed that's that's called working baby i'm working yeah the blankies aren't over you that's a whole other side of the sheets is business hours oh one exactly exactly that's how you know yeah um business outside of the sheets slumber inside the sheets exactly that's what we all say and that is a law legally well sharilyn we're gonna get to know you even better and you know again i'm glad to know you're doing okay after your car accident um do you is it are you going to be able to get your car back is that we don't gotta worry about any of that okay right now all right we're not like you know we're just gonna move on and we're gonna tell people about what they do got to worry about any of that right now. All right. We're not like, you know, we're just going to move on.

And we're going to tell people about what they do need to worry about, which is the CDC is telling everybody Delta variant is a very contagious, like chicken pox. Contagious is what they're saying now. And so there's a lot of new, interesting data out there, which, again, I think is good because for those who have been vaccinated, you'll feel better, although you'll also get more of a realistic idea of what is actually possible, given all of this new research that has been coming out. We'll also just talk about like the general twisting and turning of conservatives right now with masks and the COVID response. And like some Republicans are like, I'll sue you if you get a mask. And others like, please let us wear wear masks and it's just total chaos so we'll

just kind of look at the absolute mind pretzel that is just everything that's happening um with the gop and the pandemic at the moment well also i don't know if you guys like to hear clips where people are lying so terribly and like trying to be slick about it and you're like oh you are bumbling this lie sir because jim jordan who's one of the loudest pro-insurrectionist members of congress he got caught just being asked a simple question like did you talk to trump on january 6th and he had so much shit like to just blurt out it was like just like dude just do you want to just turn yourself in because that answer was felt yeah i love when someone uses like 20 incomprehensible like paragraphs to answer a two-word question yeah it's so satisfying to hear it reminds me of like

being a little kid and getting caught in a lie you're like i don't know what to do like i didn't think this part through so i'm just gonna either cry or just say a bunch of stuff and run away um and jim jordan chose the latter we'll also check in with something a story that i have been waiting to talk about because i've been waiting for jamie to be on because i want to honor her love of charles e cheese wait what is enter it entertainment? It's entertainment. Charles Entertainment Cheese. If I ever have a kid, you know their middle name is going to be Entertainment.

That's a great middle name. Yeah, it really is. It's like, how do you argue with them when your fucking middle name is Entertainment? And you know what? We can't argue with Chuck E. Cheese know it's where a kid can be a kid or a 37 year old man can get in a fight with another adult because there's too much beer there

and then we'll also check in with the olympics but not like who's winning just this study about being like you know bronze bronze is kind of like if you're not gonna win gold bronze is probably the best medal you can win and that's according to some psychologists who are sort of like observing like what it means to be a bronze medalist. And it turns out bronze medal winners are very happy. But I think that tracks because we'll get into that. But first, Sherilyn, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are, what you're into, what you're searching or what you're kind of checking out? OK, let's see. I have two things. So recently i found out this is weird i'm sorry ahead of time i i recently found out about the 9-11 bar have you heard of it yes 9-11 yes i think i learned about that through

robert evans no a bar bar 9-11 where you go in you grab your drinks you look at the wall you remember and you never forget wait it's like a memorial bar where is it even so i found out that there's two there are two 911 bars one is in fort worth texas and wasn't one is in buffalo apparently the one in fort worth te, Texas is like the main one. And I don't know. I just found out about these bars. But Buffalo had to get in on it? That is a wild franchise to get in on.

Okay. Maybe someone, I don't know if it's a franchise. Maybe it's like their own separate bar. It's probably got a different name. Like the one in Texas is bar 9-11 which i don't know why they have to make it sound like oh well it's also spelled like in a really flippant way it's like b-a-r the number nine and then the word 11 like all is one like a 7-11 yeah but like from the outside you'd be like oh okay like the font is maybe chic and then you go

and you're like what the fuck is going on in here yeah and then you go inside and it's look i don't know if they have what their cocktail i hope that they're not themed i don't even want to go into it because my brain already is like coming up with names but it's got art like this on the wall where it's like okay 8 46 a.m and then like a long paragraph of what was going on 849, 852. So I was just looking into that. But for some reason, when I clicked on the link to the bar, it was like not letting me go in. And I was like, this is probably for the best. I remember that I saw this comedy show like years ago where Brett Gelman was doing this bit where he said he wanted to open a 9-11 bar but

like every night a siren would go off and like a bunch of tracks would play and you would just relive the moment where they announced that bin laden had been killed and that was like the energy of the bar it's like yo they got bin laden and people like oh and that was like but that was a bit and so when you started saying this i'm like is this the brett gellman thing come to life but no this is it does sound like it could be a nathan for you thing but it's not i mean it's been around for like years right like it's yeah it's been around for how can this guy any ideas without ben lawton yeah they said his whole thing was that he supposedly quote found 80 of americans didn't know that the anniversary of the event was approaching. So that's why I wanted to make sure people remembered.

I mean, this is beside the point, but I don't believe that. I also don't believe that. I mean, it's, it seems like a thing, like an old Jay Leno,

like man on the street bit where like, when's the anniversary of nine 11 and people were like, uh, February, like, you know, like if that's what he's trying to say, we know what day it is. What's the number for 9-1-1?

Right. September 11th. Huh? Yeah. Well, good for them. I hope the people whose lives were lost don't feel that this is a flippant homage to their lives. Or sue this guy's ass. Why not?

Yeah. Sue him. Yeah, hell yeah. This is America. Sue him. Fuck yeah. There we go. What's your other thing

you were searching, Sherilyn? The other thing, so over quarantine, I started watching The L Word, like the original L Word. And I don't know if either of you guys

have seen it, but it's so bad. And I think that that's why it's... Really? I mean, it's... I guys have seen it but it's so bad and i think that that's why it's really i mean it's i've never seen it okay it's bad so bad that like it's aged well because you can like kind of hate watch it and like fall in love with the characters but the theme song is um is okay there's this one part of the theme song if if you know, you know, but they just start saying a bunch of words that lesbians do. And it goes, talking, laughing, loving, breathing, fighting, fucking, crying, drinking, writing, winning, losing, cheating, kissing, thinking, dreaming.

And I was trying to memorize that because now I sing the theme song every time at the beginning. And I'm like, talking, drinking, fighting, kissing. I like that they're characterizing it as something that just lesbians do. Things like talking, writing, dreaming. Kissing, thinking, dreaming. So it's pretty sexy. And then, yeah, this is the way. This is the way that we live and love.

It's ridiculous anyways i gotta work on that i gotta work on memorizing those lyrics yeah if you're gonna say it without looking at you because i saw you look at your phone i mean the day you don't look we're gonna all be like she's done it folks she's gonna stand yeah yeah absolutely i'll let you guys know i'll post like a video of me singing it um hey drinks on me at bar 9-11 the day you get those lyrics awesome thank you you're welcome see you in buffalo oh shit no oh the buff we're not even go to the fort worth one how we're going to the buffalo one no we're going straight to buffalo i'll go to the buffalo one just so i can see you know west side gun and i feel like the buffalo one

would be a little safer for me and And maybe for you too, Miles. Yeah, in general. Yeah, who knows? But maybe I'll go in with all my regalia on and they'll be like, hey, he's one of the good ones, man. Yeah. You know. One of the good ones. You know he's one of the good ones, man. He came in with his shirt said, never forget, man.

I can put on an accent too. We'll be safe. Hell yeah. Oh, yeah. I remember when I covered a Trump rally very early on. I was like oh this is gonna be rough because i had to like ask people shit and kind of like time to code switch yo the coast and i put a red hat on and shit and they were like oh you they it was amazing

how instantly i was like well we'll see how they do with this man of color and i was like hey the second you go hey what do you think people are getting wrong about Donald Trump? They're like, the thing is, and you're like, wow, am I in the CIA? Am I this good? But it turns out I just needed to say Trump is cool. And then instantly everyone's like, yes, we love it. Moving on. Overrated. Sherilyn, what is something that is?

You know, we briefly talked about, what if I was like, the vaccine? We briefly talked about what if i was like the vaccine uh we briefly talked about the new variant going around so i'm just trying to trying to gaslight myself into positive thinking and uh i think that going outside and uh doing things overrated wow you're preparing you're preparing for the return to the indoors age really well i can feel it right right right oh yeah who knows so yeah we don't need to go outside we don't need to party fourth of jaleesi was great we had a nice time in the good old outdoors but who needs it yeah you know yeah i can oh man that reminds me of like me when i was like applying to colleges in high school i was like i don't need to get in there so yeah but anyway like you don't you're like probably

just like losers going there anyway yeah like it doesn't even freaking matter i'm gonna be in student debt i'm gonna i'm gonna be so tired and uh dude i'm gonna sleep all weird probably if i'm in massachusetts like yeah yeah forget, forget that, forget that. I'm going to stay here. Go local. I'll never forget. I think it was like my cousin didn't get into a school that he wanted to get into. And he was like, fine.

They probably give a lot of homework anyways. Like, wow, really taking one on the chin like a champ, my man. Yeah. What's something that you think is underrated sharon okay i'm gonna give a shout out to my local clinic underrated there's this health clinic if you live in los angeles and you have a vagina you should go to spa clinic and um even if you don't have health insurance or like have horrible health insurance, you can go there, you can get a birth control, you can get an abortion, you can get your boobs checked, you can get all this good stuff for free. So I want to give a shout out to that clinic. If you don't live

in Los Angeles, you can go to Yellow Fund on Instagram and then they got links to like if you're in like florida or one of those states they will ship you that plan b if you need it for free oh wow so um i think my local fpa family planning uh so something with an a let's call it f it fpa baby yeah i realized that place but it was just like i was in a group chat with a bunch of my friends and uh one of my friends went there and she just shared it with everyone and now everyone goes there and like the doctor's great the staff is fine and uh the doctor great staff is fine yeah It's not one of those places that you walk in. You're like, wow. It's one of those places that you walk in.

You're like, OK, great. I'll get medical care. This will do. Yeah, this will do. They had a TV in the waiting room playing like. Mori or something extremely inappropriate, where it was like, you are not the father. And I was like, why is this playing here oh no incredible viewing for before you get an abortion yeah or yeah just any kind of your yeah that's swirling

in your mind and you're just watching people go yes yes yes i'm not the father for me right and then like broken people be like oh my god God. Yeah. But I mean, you know, you can go there and get like tests and all that good stuff. So I want to say that that's underrated because people are out here trying to figure out where to get sex. Yeah. And stressing about their insurance and stuff. And it's like, you don't have to stress. Just go here. Oh, you'd love to hear it.

have to stress just go here oh so you'd love to hear it because yeah especially with like a world in which people are like if i have i have insurance and they're like oh your mental health is not considered here your reproductive health is not considered it's like if you break your leg like yeah maybe we can do that but very bare minimum so it's always good to have those resources for people so shout out fpa shout out fpa we'll figure out what that A is after this break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

Just just you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

and we're back and just to confirm sherilyn it's family planning associates so check that out it seems like they're all over the country yeah they have a few they've got a few so okay well let's talk speaking of medical things and advice and care um the CDC came out and said everybody needs to be wearing masks when you're indoors. No exceptions. We don't give a fuck if you're vaccinated. Put your mask on because we're seeing a spike in cases and we're still trying to figure it out. this came, I think, as a bit of a surprise to some people or a lot of people who were on that like hot vac summer program where they were mentally like, the second I get this, it's 2018. And here we go. And I think myself included, I was like, okay, this feels like an air of invincibility, because that's what you're hoping that's what you're trusting the vaccines will do.

Unfortunately, this is not the case in the sense that we are not completely immune if you're hoping, that's what you're trusting the vaccines will do. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the sense that we are not completely immune if you're vaccinated. And also the risks that we pose to each other and the unvaccinated are very high with the Delta variant. There was like a PowerPoint presentation that the Washington Post got a hold of that was being presented internally at the CDC. And it basically shows they're kind of in a tough spot because on one level, they have to communicate that the vaccines work mostly like, and that they're not perfect, but they're absolutely effective. And also like encourage people to get it, like trying to be transparent while also being like, look, it's not a hundo, but it's high eighties to high nineties.

And that should be good enough. And it is good enough for the most part. Some of the things that really came out, though, first off, is that getting a vaccine is clearly the better option if you're choosing between not being vaccinated and being vaccinated, because the risk reduction in you being hospitalized or dying from the Delta variant or just COVID in general is a 25 fold reduction versus someone that is unvaccinated and i think the other thing that was really interesting is that they said it's as contagious as the chicken pox meaning it's highly contagious that hurts no yeah yeah do you guys remember getting the chicken pox oh fuck yeah oh my god yeah i was the itchiest fucking four year old or five i was four or five or whatever and i couldn't i just remember my one memory is just like

calamine lotion or whatever that shit's called you know like all dotted all over my body and i would be like brash and like i need to scratch all this shit off yeah i remember just like watching 101 dalmatians 45 times until there were no more chicken pox oh wow um but yeah they said it just spread so easily and even like among vaccinated people like whereas the first sort of ancestral strain of uh covid that we saw in 2020 they were seeing the transmission of like one to one like one infected person would maybe pass it to one other person with the delta variant they're seeing like five other people are being um infected just from one person so it spreads rapidly um but all in all they're saying like the vaccines are totally effective from preventing you from being falling

seriously ill and being hospitalized and dying. But but with all this other information, it shows it's still a fucking pandemic, everyone. And we really need to still operate like that as much as we wanted to sort of reclaim some normalcy in terms of like socializing and things like that. We're still very much in the the height of things. So we have to kind of operate in the same way. And that was sort of healthy for me to see, too, just to kind of operate in the same way and that was sort of healthy for me to see too just to kind of give myself a little bit of a reality check yeah i feel like i mean even in the past two weeks like hearing and like i don't know like

just hearing how people have talked and what they're willing to do and what they're more cautious about seems to already be shifting and i was like all in on like hot back summer and like seeing people and traveling and doing all this shit and it does it feels like yeah at this point especially with the information you're saying that it's like everyone needs to kind of pump the brakes like yeah and reconsider what especially depending on who you're around you know like i had i had plans to like see friends in different states for the rest of the summer and then but but i have to go be with my dad who's immunocompromised so it's like it's can't like i i finally like pulled the plug on something that like would have been really fun but it's it's just not worth the risk at this point and

i don't know. Yeah. And I think that's the thing that people need to realize is like, wow, the, your risk in terms of your own personal, you know, health, uh,

like it's lower because you're being vaccinated. We're still dealing with a highly transmissible version. And like you, and there's still people who get mild cases and things like that. So it's, it's not all, you know, we must exercise caution as it still is a pandemic. But, you know, as we look at all this information that's coming out about the Delta variant, I can't help but look at how many crossed wires and mixed signals are coming out of the GOP right now.

signals are coming out of the GOP right now because it's like I couldn't imagine if even if you were a Republican and you're looking at the words of your representatives of your party, they're saying so many different things at once. It would make your fucking head spin. First of all, like the in the House, they were pulling all kinds of stunts. For example, a lot of these House Republicans, they went to the Senate side of the Capitol to protest the mask-wearing requirement in the House of Representatives because Nancy Pelosi was like,

a lot of y'all are not vaccinated and we're not about to create some chaos in here and have people getting sick, so you need to wear masks. They're like, well, the Senate doesn't have it. The thing is,

the Senate is almost universally vaccinated. The senators are clearly like, like yeah we're not really into that whole and like i mean we might not publicly say stuff but privately we understand that we should probably be vaccinated for our own health and you know watching all these republicans go to the senate side it's almost like what are you trying to do like are you protesting or are you hoping maybe you might get someone sick on that side or whatever? It felt very weird. Yeah, it's a very like, I don't know.

They're especially in the House. It's like it's just so manic at this point where it's like everyone's coming in at an 11. Like there's no conversation being had whatsoever we're all kind of into you know we can research we know who to trust and who to believe but i just feel bad for people who like you know aren't great with the internet or just like truly don't know who to trust right now like how like i I saw this photo on, I don't know why I was on Facebook, but look, I was on Facebook for a second. Um, and I saw this photo on Facebook and like this, I'm from Florida, as y'all know. And I got some Republicans in my Facebook feed. And this woman

was like making fun of these people that were like out in the ocean with bags over their heads and masks under the bags. And I just like yeah this is yeah it's funny but also these people must be so scared right now they don't know who to trust and who to believe and like they're just taking every precaution that they can i guess but that's a little excessive but it's just yeah we gotta we gotta get our shit together no and then on top of it right you have people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and the other friggin' goon squad over there in the house. Speaking of which, she has no committee assignments,

so she does a fuck all when she's in D.C. She has nothing to do. I just want people to know that. She's taking, like, low-angle selfies and posting. She's under the bed sheets. Yeah, oh, yeah. She's under blankies 24-7. She ain't working. Even when she's outside walking, she's under the blankies yeah oh yeah she's under blankies 24 7 she ain't working even when she's

outside walking she's under the blankies metaphorically speaking and she is suing nancy pelosi the sergeant at arms and like the like the main health official for the house of representatives and this is what how the lawsuit reads quote plaintiffs all of whom are members of congress belonging to the minority party engaged in the symbolic speech of not wearing a mask on the congressional floor in defiance of the majority's party's compelled symbolic speech rule. They're trying to make this a free speech issue, that it's not a health and safety precaution. It is a fucking free speech issue going on. They say wearing a mask conveys a particularized message, namely that mandatory face coverings are medically and scientifically necessary to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, that these intrusions on bodily integrity are

necessary and essential, that informed consent and civil liberties are to be suppressed in favor of government's decisions regarding public health, and that individuals cannot be given the choice to make their own decisions regarding their facial attire and medical choices again i mean but that's been there back the whole time like that's it's like i feel like since masks were introduced it was like oh this is a suppression of our freedoms that is asking someone to to mask mask up. But at this point, it's just like, I mean, it's always been a failure of leadership,

but it's like, I don't, I don't even understand what the end game is at this point. Well, this is again, they're all mixed up, right? Because suddenly now they're my body,

my choice people, but you can't play that out across the board because you're still got all these anti-trans bills and all these horrific reproductive rights that you're trying to roll back and shit so which one is it so what the fuck is it and a lot of people and i see that take a lot where people like well like what's wrong with that if it is their body then they're just like yeah that's fine no one's saying you have to do it or you go to jail it just means if you don't do it right you're you there's just a lot of shit that you're not going to be able to do but no one's saying you gotta get it just means you don't have access to a lot of shit so you're free to choose from there but this whole idea that they can sort of like walk this line of like making it a free speech thing

and something about like body autonomy and stuff is just it rings so fucking hollow um but again that's like everything that they talk about and it's like scary when most places i know this is like slowly changing because things are getting it's like scary when most places i know this is like slowly changing because things are getting worse but while like most public places are still running on the honor system which is so baffling to me like in that that no wonder there's a fucking surge when everyone's running on the honor system and most unvaccinated people don't want to wear a mask and the fact that you could pull up and just show a picture of a vax card uh look scumbag miles who used to forge documents in high school and college i would have been figured out how to make my own

fucking vax card trust we okay there's somebody out there making that service available there are and the fbi's even like arrested people because there was like vax card factories where people like people were just churning them out or like there would be people who would volunteer at vaccination sites and like, you know, maybe swipe a couple of cards, you know what I mean? And then sell them on the side. There is a lot of shit like that. And even contact tracers are like people fucking lie about this shit like constantly.

And I think, yeah, the honor system in a country this dishonorable. Pacers are like people fucking lie about this shit like constantly. And I think, yeah, the honor system in a country this dishonorable. No, no, no, no. It's not going to work. But then you go on to like read some of these other headlines. Like Joe Biden is now saying like he wants local municipalities and governments to say, give people $100 to get vaccinated. Like if they're newly vaccinated, hit them with a hundred bucks. Okay, like we need to start incentivizing this. He's also considering making it mandatory

in the military. So slowly- It's not mandatory in the military? No, I think it's about to be, or he's starting to say it needs to be. And I figure, yeah, that's a group of people you can, I think, tell them what to do, considering that the commander in chief

will be like, hey, go there and kill these people or maybe come back traumatized i think i feel so naive for being like surprised by that but i had no idea that it wasn't mandatory to be vexed in the military no they can tell you exactly what to do with your hair right can you imagine that line it's like wait but you want me to drop bombs on children uh but then you're gonna say i have the choice to not get vaccinated i feel like am i i don't i i dated someone who was in the military for a long time and like he had to get certain vaccinations it is so wild to me that those aren't like why not just toss it on the list?

I saw this tweet that was like, where are we? What happened to all the diehard anti-penicillin guys? Right, right, right. In the 20s. Hmm. It's quiet for them, isn't it? Interesting. They died of terrible infections, it turns out.

But the other things you're seeing is like in Texas, right? Governor Abbott, he's threatening to find local officials who are enforcing these new CDC mask mandates. Like, I will fine you for doing that because we are so not about the masks. I will make it a penalty to encourage safety. That's what's happening in Texas. In Arkansas, Governor Hutchinson in Arkansas, now, he is now asking the state legislature, he's like begging them. He's like, can we allow masks in school, please?

Because like, we want to make sure it's okay. Yeah, because this guy also, I mean, talk about a self-owned. He signed laws like in 2020 that was like restricting his own power as governor, just as like a future move to be like, Arkansas is going to be free. So a governor is not going to be able to dictate anything when it comes to this, that now he's coming back, pat in hand saying, can I have my job powers back, please? Masks for children. And it's, and again, it's just all over the place. And this also coincides with more reports from doctors saying they're starting, especially in Arkansas.

Or there was a story from Arkansas at this children's hospital where they're saying we're seeing more kids coming in with COVID infections. And yikes. Again, it's just a very, very hyper mixed signal environment for these people. very, very hyper mixed signal environment for these people. But what's interesting though, is there was a new poll that came out that said 45% of Republicans are like, they would support vaccine passports or vaccine mandates rather. So it's, there's, there's an interesting thing of like,

what people are believing, what their leaders are saying. And like, I don't know if now even some people are seeing enough anecdotal information or whatever to say yeah maybe i should get vaccinated turns out like maybe this is the right thing to do that's a that's a high a little i'm i'm not gonna i'm a little shocked to hear 45 of them i am as well i am as well um but it must be that 45 percent that is also interested in vaccines and then that other 55 who is just like rabidly anti absolutely whatever going to get it yeah yeah people forget i forgot about kids not being able to get vaccines because i'm like i'm not hanging out with kids yeah i don't they're not in my life but uh that's that's why we're, just in case we come across a kid that's not able to get vaccinated. Or someone who's just not vaccinated, you know,

or not able to, or whatever. So this is 2021. I love coming on for a scary Zeitgeist episode. Oh, it's going to get spookier because now we're going to talk about Jim Jordan, who's one of the spookier members of congress because he's a wannabe fascist but he doesn't even do it good because him not smart again he there's a lot of question marks around jim jordan as it relates to january 6th he was very rah-rah about you know stopping the steal and the build-. And there's more than a few Republicans where we're like, what's going on?

Like Mo Brooks, who we just found out, he was wearing body armor on January 6th. Whoops. Because, of course, a very peaceful event or whatever. You know, as like this commission rolls on, there's definitely like two versions of some of these Republicans, like, like, like what their involvement was. The most optimistic version is that they were maybe just witnesses to things that they heard people say stuff and they know some stuff that other people were talking about outside of Congress. In the

more vile version, they were maybe accessories or orchestrators or had a really significant hand in organizing the events that led up to January 6th. And so Jim Jordan recently, he admitted that he spoke with Trump on the 6th. But at first, like someone asked, he's like, oh, yeah, I think so. It's probably like in the day or something like that. He's like, but I talk to the president all the time. And that was sort of like the soundbite that we got. But then he was actually asked by like this local reporter from like the local Spectrum News outlet in Ohio in his home state. And my God, I think he just didn't think that someone in from like his like local news station was going to press him about it.

But he was not ready for this answer at all. There's some confusion over what you told Brett Baier on Fox News on Tuesday night. So I want to clear it up. First off, yes or no. Did you speak with President Trump on January 6th? Yeah, I mean, I speak I spoke with the president last week. I speak with the president all the time. I spoke with him on January 6th. I mean, I talk I spoke with the president last week I speak with the president all the time I spoke with him on January six, I mean, I talked with President Trump, all the time and that's that's I don't think that's unusual. I would expect members of Congress to talk with the President of the United States when they're trying to get done the things they told the voters in their district to do. I'm actually kind of amazed sometimes if people keep asking this but of course i talk to the president all the time i told him like i said i talked to him last week on january 6th

did you speak with him before during or after the capitol was attacked uh i'd have to go i i i i spoke with him that day after i think after i don't know if i spoke with him in the morning or not i i just don't know uh i'd have to go back and i mean i don't i don't i don't know uh he sounds better when those conversations happen but he's playing at 1.5 what i know is i spoke with him all the time but but taylor the the key here is the people we need to speak to pivot the people we need to talk to are the ones who can answer the question why wasn't there a better security presence that day yeah i think that's you also still jim jordan so i wouldn't i wouldn't think you're saying I wouldn't think you're out the woods quite yet with that. Well, you know, when he goes, oh, I mean, I would expect anybody to speak with the president when you're in the thing and you've got to work on laws and stuff in D.C.

And then that's why you talk to the president. So I'm going to just keep adjusting my belt line. Yeah, it's I don't know. That doesn't sound like someone who is maybe doesn't have their hands fully fucking dirty. Everyone can go listen to that again and then recognize how fast he's speaking because it truly does sound like he's at 1.5. Yeah, it's yeah. I'm going to make that my new audition monologue i think if someone can if someone can like really master that like stumbling over words i mean that would be truly an oscar

worthy performance you have to get the hands right too he's like right he's like fondling things in the air that aren't there i mean you can tell that he might be like given little pps but you but it's cut off. You can't see below the waist for him. And also, it sounded like he was he was like responding to accusations that weren't being made, like acting like the reporter had asked him, like, do you talk to President Trump? And isn't that weird? Right, right, right. I don't think it's weird at all to just talk to the former president of the United States.

I'm like, I don't think anyone was saying it was. They were just asking if you talk to him or not. I don't know. I don't think it's weird at all to just talk to the former president of the United States. I'm like, I don't think anyone was saying it was, they were just asking if you talk to him or not. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I'd have to look back. I don't know. Actually,

I don't want to say I'd have to look back because then if someone, if deposes me, they may figure out that I may have some record. It, you could see like how many steps ahead he was trying to be like with his answer when he should have, you know, when the real scumbag sort of like deposition was go i do not recall i do not recall except for he was not that still no um

the reporter at the beginning he pulled an aoc and he was like yes or no yeah did you speak when uh when aoc was talking to mark zuckerberg like do you uh do you take down lies or do you not take down lies iconic aoc moment but um hey do i speak to the president i don't know i yeah i speak to the president i speak to posters you know on my wall you know and i say you know like this one's for you rocky you know i do all kinds of stuff i talk to all kinds of people all the time you know inanimate animate uh you know animated anime uh whatever you want automatons like you're like what sir it's like okay but yeah i think these are i mean for whatever reason uh seems like there's maybe some kind of something there who knows i'm not gonna lie the vibes were off on him i was getting

kind of a strange energy from him yeah have you ever encountered someone who legit tried to like be smooth like that and you you're like, just stop. Just stop. This is all. Yeah. The jig is up fully. So let's just admit what we've done. You don't have to lie to me.

Yeah, you ain't got to lie. He kind of has like the energy of someone that like you just caught jerking off. Like he's like, wait, that's definitely not what I was doing. And if you thought I was, then that's your problem. Then you're a per then uh that's your problem you're weird that's so weird that you would say that it feels like a tim robinson never freaking do that so yeah yeah it's the hot dog car crash sketch where the clearly the man in the hot dog suit crashed the hot dog car into the menswear store then he gets us like who did this huh i don't know i mean it couldn't have been me i mean what's going on here is that guy yeah he's dressed like a hot dog because like

um all right well that's that's enough of the real world for now let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk bronze medals and entertainment cheese after this. 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.

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 iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back the olympics that's it okay let's talk about chuck e cheese um no so there's this thing i saw on like the npr site today where these i think psychologists social scientists were sort of looking at what it means to win gold silver or bronze and you know like when you look at a podium and you see all the three people or the three teams up there silver kind of you kind of feel for them like even growing up i'd be like damn man silver must suck because you feel like you could have won fucking gold like you could you maybe had a

shot bronze is almost like thanks i'm good great to be here i love it i love it that's kind of true yeah because you see the person on the bronze podium is always smiling the person on the silver podium they're not they're not smiling right and the these professors saying quote it's pretty counterintuitive because the silver medalist just performed better but we found that third place winners tend to express more happiness after an olympic event than those who come in second then adds of course gold medalists are the happiest of the three well i think that goes saying. But the reason is like people are looking at their achievements like through sort of different lenses.

The professor goes on to say, quote, silver medalists tend to think about and compare themselves to that gold medalist. So they think maybe if I had only done something different, I could have won that gold medal. That sort of thinking can be especially pervasive when the top two positions can be separated by nearly imperceptible milliseconds.

But that bronze medalist, they're actually forming a downward comparison. And they're thinking, at least I'm not that fourth place finisher. At least I'm not that person who didn't even earn a medal. And so the whole thing that they did for this analysis was they got like, they found a database of photos of like the podiums of like the last five Olympics going back to the year 2000. And they ran it through software that was designed to read facial markers, which apparently this thing, this algorithmic thing is so intelligent. It can tell the difference between someone who's pasted on a smile to cover up their disappointment and someone who is truly, sincerely smiling. This is where I have a slight bone to pick though

because you know like anything that's like fed this stuff software is problematic yeah but you don't know but i think in general i think we can i think i agree with the logic obviously of like what the mindset would be of a bronze medalist like and i i think it's easy to think if you lost by 0.2 seconds in a sprint you would probably feel like fuck so all that to say is they've i guess it turns out that you know bronze is best for your happiness um shit i'll take any kind of medal and that's why like they showed the great britain um gymnastics team like they were so stoked when they won their gymnastics medal they were like this is fucking great i didn't even fucking know i'd be here so like we're on getty images baby this is great and i'm not gonna pay for it either you will see that getty images

bug on there that's the true ah man that's that's making it when you could buy your own getty image and post a picture of yourself without the getty images and you can afford to buy it yeah without the watermark that's a gold medal in this town yeah it's so funny that we uh like nobody can relate to olympic athletes it's such a small percentage of people and we're like analyzing them and we talk we're so obsessed with them and we're like the silver winners are losers actually they're so sad oh my god they're so depressed and they're not even smiling yeah that's pasted on that smile i don't think i could cover up my displeasure i'm so competitive too like i you know i i used to get like flip the table playing card games as like a five-year-old because i competed oh yeah yeah you do not want to play

uno you don't want to play with me don't play uno with me man because i remember my older cousins they would do that shit where they would load up their hand with like a bunch of draw four skips reverses and let me think i'm winning and then they're like sorry i'm gonna do the thanos snap on this game and they're like well draw well, draw four. I blew reverse. Skip you. Draw four. Boom. Uno out.

And you're like, I'm dead. I hearken back to that. But I mean, I don't know. I feel like on some level we can identify with Olympians more in the sense of like people have passions that they'll devote their lives to. And on some level, not everything like maybe music or art doesn't come in the form of like first, second, and third. This has been famously a second-rate podcast. Exactly.

Would it be better if it was a third-rate podcast? What's the situation there? Oh my God, I didn't even know. I need answers. You know what? Let me discuss that with my therapist and I will bring that back to the next episode. And then I'll get AI software to listen to every episode and let us know how happy you are.

They're like, oh, you broke our algorithm. It just said bummer zone, bummer zone, bummer zone. Yeah. So, you know, shout out to everybody who's winning the bronze of their lives because hey anything can happen that's still pretty fucking good and you know what shout out to fourth place winners too yeah we know that you're fucking sad and we look our heart goes out to you also in general shout out to people who make the olympics like that's pretty cool although the games themselves like that's a whole other story but you know where are we going problematic yeah

but it is fun to see like those like those people absolutely cry tears of joy like that filipino weightlifter who won like the first gold for the philippines and like just like the like relief and but then that kind of makes like i remember uh when i used to work in uh politics i quit i decided to quit lobbying because i was watching the vancouver olympics i think it was that year and i saw this person like shatter a world record and like win gold and like they were so happy and i got so upset because i was like i'm throwing my life away being a fucking political operative for some fucking machine that doesn't even fucking work and i'm drunk every night because i hate it and then i was like what's my olympics and i was like to do make people laugh and do comedy and just kind of you know be creative and i remember

that day the next day i told my boss i'm like i'm not doing another election cycle i'm out of this wow so yeah because i just yeah well because in that way like i really could identify like to see someone so purely happy and overjoyed for like you know putting their energy and life into something and then attaining it is like really like if I just try to look at it, zoom out as much as possible looking at it. And that's when I was like, fuck, man, that's living. You know, like when you can pursue that and then feel that like that's that's some shit that like money or, you know, whatever can't get you. So in that way,

shout out to Vancouver and the Olympics. But let's move on to more important news, which is Chuck E. Cheese. They are putting out, and I am so glad that you didn't know this, Jamie. It makes me so happy that I'm bringing this to your attention because you are a Chuck E. Cheese historian and expert. They are now making frozen pizzas for you to enjoy the cheesiness at your own home. This is genius. pizzas for you to enjoy the cheesiness at your own home and this is yeah genius is it this is like hooters selling wings at the grocery store what what is the motivation it's it they have misunderstood what people go to the restaurant i like chucky cheese pizza but i feel like that's not a popular that's not a popular opinion because there's like there's all of those um those conspiracy theories that the pizza is just recooked pizza that is just left at the restaurant that is not true what do you mean that they're

recycling leftover slices yes there's all of these youtube videos from like a couple of years ago where people are like we're like frothingly trying to prove that chucky cheese pizza is because sometimes the pizza comes out and you're like that's an imperfect circle so the theory is and the and the slices come pre-cut that people leave chucky cheese pizza on the table. And I feel like I'm spreading. This doesn't happen. Right, right, right. But this is a theory that has been debunked. And assemble the new.

Yeah, they assemble a new thing. And the reason that it took off is because the pizza doesn't necessarily taste recent. A lot. And do people like that? People don't like that. I thought you meant the reason this took off like oh no the reason the conspiracy theory took off is because the pizza is maybe not very good right but i think it's good and i i mean i kind of wonder like how closely the grocery store reproduction that's what i wanted to ask you because you remember

over the last year whatever they started showing up like on like uber eats and stuff and like doordash as like uh pescuali's pizza names yeah and you could order like chucky cheese pizza or whatever i'm curious yes if that if they're just branding some very generic frozen pizza as Chuck E. Cheese, or if they're honoring the actual Chuck E. Cheese pizza, and I implore you, Jamie, to come back with that information, because only you can. I will take that upon myself. I have $6. I can investigate this.

Yeah, investigate it, write an article. They come with 250 free e-tickets when you buy pizza. What's that worth? My guess is that this is like an attempt for the business to not have to close because they really need people to go into those restaurants and start spreading the Delta variant to each other. They almost like went bankrupt in the last year. So I think this is probably like, all right, let's see if we can get this going.

Let's see if we can dethrone the kid cuisine penguin. Oh, my God. Kid cuisine with the shitty brownie? With the nasty brownie. Fuck up brownie. And the snowboarding penguin. Yeah. And the little mac and cheese.

It's like five noodles of Mac and cheese. I remember I begged my mom for that and she was like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Like, this isn't even good. I'm like, but it's in a tray and I feel like I'm in some weird fun cafeteria and the food is bad.

Yeah. What's the e-ticket worth when they say they'll give you 20, 250 free e-tickets. What does that get you? If, if you pull up to a brick and mortar charles entertainment chief center well it depends i've i've to an extent the chucky cheeses are allowed to choose how many like prizes differ and you can sort of choose how much like

what the thing is but 250 i think that that's decent. That'll get you a couple of bouncy balls. Oh, shit. That's decent currency to be working with at the arcade. What's a high ticket item? Which makes me think that they're really desperate for people to go. Right. I don't know. I mean, personally, I like the Chuck E. Cheese branded stuff.

I like the little plushies, especially Pasquale is my favorite. I like the little notebooks. Oh, I like Tootsie Rolls. I like what else? And then and then they kind of just and then it kind of turns into like carnival toys where they have like those freaky stuffed emoji pillows. Right. How much is like a and then if you have like 5 000 tickets you can get like a lava lamp and i think that that's where they top out how much oh five a lava lamp is 5 000 yeah think about that but if you eat enough pizzas you could get a free lava you don't even have to play games you just have to eat pizza get prizes and look at your lava Right. The only true cost is having to go in as a single adult and willingly admit that you've had, what, 40 pizzas

from Chuck E. Cheese to get a free lava lamp. A sacrifice I would be willing to make. I'll go with you. Please. There's still so many open in L.A. County. It's confusing. Wait, how many do you have three hit up the bar 9-11 and then we'll get some pizza right and then we'll get a lava wait but what does it think oh but first sharilyn you got to memorize all the words from the l word theme song and then we'll go celebrate right living laughing fucking breathing

crying kissing fighting screaming no that's not it we're close we're close we're close that was a lot of verbs though yeah all right well thank you so much sharilyn for coming on the show today and jamie thank you so much for guest hosting um sharilyn where can people find you and follow you and what's a tweet that you want to share with people or you have liked oh okay solomon georgio he always comes with he always uh yeah comes through with a great tweet he said i once quit a job because a co-worker chewed too loud so i have no notes for simone viles and uh i thought that was great class act class act yeah and you can follow me my twitter is currently private because I got into one of those anxious mindsets where I'm like nobody needs to know my

thoughts and then I have I have like 50 drafted tweets that I'm like yeah I was just in in a weird place with twitter so that's where I am. But if you follow me on Twitter, I will individually look at everyone and then probably accept you. But it's just Sherilyn Vera. And that's my Instagram, Sherilyn underscore Vera as well. And I'm not private there. Fantastic.

No, I get it. Twitter and the social media, man. Like that's when I have to put it down. I'm like, I don't like when something's going to get me all feeling weird.
