This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey, this is Robert from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast. Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fan, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand new week of fun, thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes. Join us as we tackle science and culture topics from a galaxy far, far away,

such as the biology of tantons and wampas on the ice planet hot, or the practicality and corporate business sense of the Sith rule of two. Listen to stuff to blow your mind, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential.

Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My mother-in-law spent years sabotaging our relationship until Karma made her pay for it. All right, Sophia, tell me about how we started this story. She moved in for two weeks, lasted five days, left a mess, and then pressed her ear against their bedroom door and burst in screaming.

When kicked out to a hotel, she called her son-in-law's workplace, pretending his partner had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance. She faked a medical emergency? And spoiler, that was just the beginning. To find out how it ends, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On The Look Back at It podcast. From 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 is big to me. I'm Sam J.

And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

How was it, Miles? How was Japan? Japan, dude? Yeah. Oh, my God. I don't know if you've ever been. But, like, it's really cool. It's such a cool country.

And the culture is so, the culture is so amazing. The people are so kind. The food is like you can go to like a place called a con beanie. It's what they call a convenience store. And there they have like the best egg sandwich I've ever had in my effing L ever. What else? Then there's like the macha is so much more fire out there in Japan. What else?

There's like Pokemon stuff. It's so cheap. Like you get so much Pokemon stuff for so cheap. Like it's so much so many lotions for so cheap. Everything is like so cheap. there. It was great. It was great.

It was what I hear off my balcony. This is what every, it's kind of weird, man. As you're doing the spyware thing. With your satellite looking for Wi-Fi. Shut the fuck up down there. I love an egg sandwich. It's interesting how just in the build-up, the algorithms are showing me so much content of American people going to Japan.

And how one-dimensional it becomes when people consume this content. to actually plan their vacations because like I would go places and there would be a fucking stupid line for a chain ramen place and I'm like okay like that place is fine but I'm like looking directly across the street to like a spot that is actually legit as fuck and there's no fucking line right because people are like certain like everything is being algorithmically just refined into like 18 places in Tokyo which is kind of fucking it's really it's interesting to see and it's also kind of fucks me up. It has not gotten more efficient. We have not gotten better at finding real information. You got a no place down here called Tacos Orinoco. And there's always a one to one and a half hour line outside.

And me and my- Because of like five TikTok videos. Yeah. And me and I'm like, Tampo's been there. I refuse to wait in line more than like five minutes for anything. Yeah, yeah. And it's just like, it's just regular, it's just a regular talk area. And I don't get it. That has to be the explanation.

It like, I mean, if, if anything it, like, bodes well for people who are willing to just be adventurous. Yeah. Because by the virtue of you not being like,

what are these eight TikTok videos or like eight Instagram reels tell me what my trip should be? You will have such a completely different experience in like 98% of the people that I see. Like, and I get it too. Like, you want to hear information on social media to try and get out of like, maybe like what a guidebook says. Right.

But I think overall, like, the thing I'm like, I've so, people always ask me, where should I go? Where should I go? Like, what's like the cool stuff to do? And I'm like, here's like some of this stuff. But the thing that I always encourage people to do in Japan is to truly go fucking walk into a place that you can't read the sign. You know it's a restaurant.

Right. Go in there. Like you are going to have more of a real experience with Japanese people than to like a place that has had to have like. their entire menu in English, like all of the staff are bilingual. There's just something, it loses something. Yeah.

But overall, I mean, it was great. The real thing was like to see my family and to get, you know, my kid to understand that my mom and I aren't the only people on earth that speak Japanese. That's like, they got a secret code language. Yeah, he's like, I don't know why we talk in this language. And then,

like, then he started talking a lot more because it's ambiently all around him. But yeah, I had a fantastic time. I tried that method. of exploring Tokyo and Kyoto just like wandering around. I kept getting my family locked in a broom closet. Like, no, I swear.

This is a restaurant. I swear. This place rules. And it says closet in English. That's what it's called. It's a secret door. These noodles are really good. That's a mop.

That's mob strands. Little dry for me. That's a bamboo broom, dude. Yeah, okay. That's what I thought. It's ramen. It's ramen. They just haven't.

All right, yep. This yaku soba is al dente. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of of Durdelies ain't geist. Yeah. I haven't cleared my throat since he left, Miles. Oh, God. You're finally free.

You're like one of those ghosts in a movie now. I am. Just generally, I'm... Well, there we go. I really... I don't think this will make it to the cold open, but I really am, like my curse was lifted for the 76ers.

Yeah. They finally beat the Celtics. Yeah. On the playoffs where I found out that my dad roots for the Celtics now. I was rooting against them on his behalf. That was always your M-O. It was like, he did my dad dirty, bro.

He did him dirty. He's like, what? No, it's fine. I was like, well, fuck. I was fucking running against him. And I was released in the 76ers beat the Celtics. so I can go to sports heaven now. On to the next round for the 76ers.

Actually, I'm going to get pulled down by the like shadow people. This is all an elaborate reference to the movie Ghost, I think. Anyways, that's what my sports fandom is. I'm so well adjusted that I couldn't watch the game live because I was in San Diego for my son's birthday. You say it like it's bad, but you're like, yeah, I'm so well-adjusted that I couldn't watch the game live because I was in San Diego for my son's birthday. You say it like it's bad, but you're like, yeah, I'm so well-adjusted. adjusted that I wasn't ruining my kid's birthday with my, they're like, yeah, no, that's, that's a sound take.

Yeah, I just turned it off and then was pleasantly surprised to see that the 76ers won by nine points. Truly, what a, what a blast. I was, hey, I was watching from Japan because, like, the NBA kind of came on at a godly hour when I was in Tokyo, so I was just, I didn't want to start texting you all the time when I was like, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, that is usually how I would follow how the team was doing, because I usually don't watch playoff games live for my mental health and

and you or Jabari would be like, uh oh. Like, what the fuck is happening? Yeah. Just second degree bad for my mental health. But anyways, for our non-sports fans,

Miles, we do like to, this is the episode where we tell them what was training over the weekend, what's happening on this Monday morning. But we do like to also let them get to know us a little bit better by telling us. them some things that we think are overrated and underrated and we like to start with you.

What is something you think is underrated? Well, I know there's probably 7 million more fans that are listening since before I left for two weeks. So for those of you, I am. The fuck up. I am the normal co-host on the show. I'm sorry that all those other people you checked in for, I'm going to bring it down a few levels. But one of the big things, so I was in Japan visiting my family, while also, taking my my mother-in-law and her partner around too for the first time. Oh, I didn't realize

that. I was on I was on tour guide duty, which was fine because I'm most of the time I'm like traveling with friends who haven't been or like, you know, have maybe been to Asia but not Japan. But the big thing that for me that was underrated was actually, and this shouldn't seem underrated, but staying off social media when you're on vacation, when you're trying to take a break, when you're trying to adjust, which it seems completely

antithetical to the entire spirit of going to Japan in the age of social media, because I feel like everybody, I'm not joking, maybe like six out of ten people I know at any given moment are somehow in Japan or are about to go to Japan right now.

That's the whole point of going, I thought, was getting there, posting, Being like, I'm in Japan, guys. Look, dude, it's me and my girlfriend. We're in fucking kimonos, dude. Check it out. It's fucking sick. But no, Japan's great.

I'm glad more people are checking it out. But the thing that, more importantly, the social media aspect, I think, regardless of where you're going, right, if like the point of taking a trip is to switch gears a little bit and offer yourself something different than what you do in your day to day, maintaining the habit of looking at your phone on social media, that's actually going to do you a huge disservice. And I know it's fun to share things and, you know, get that endorphin rush or whatever.

I posted like a couple of things and then very quickly, like, I thought I lost my password at one point and I was like posting through it. And I ended up finding it. So all was well. The shout out to social media. Does social media find out. Shout out to Japanese culture where someone found it

and then gave it to the shop owner. and was like, here it is. It fell in the booth or whatever. But I think there's just, once I kind of really pulled myself away from that, it's weird. What happens is you're the habit of being like,

oh, shoot, let me just look real quick. Let me just look, because I know we just posted a clip. Let me just see, let me see what's going on. Let me see what's happening with other people. It really just, you have like a stress that really,

you felt only exists when you're at home. Yeah. And when I know, when I connected that, I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, fuck all this shit. Like, I will look at the news once a day. And then other than that, like, my kid had my phone most of the time taking really weird pictures, which I will,

I will post those to Instagram because they're so abstract. They feel artistic. That's impressive. I think it's this one small tweak. Like, if you're really going to do it, like, really clean up your energetic mix when you're on a trip. Like, if you, if that's something you do constantly when you're at home, try and, like, what,

do something a little bit different. Try having free will for like some of the time. But it's hard. I get it. It was very like that shit was calling to me like the ring of power every now and then. Like it was just like, no, no, no, no. So anyway, it's it, the, I would say that basically it sounds like a thing that is just a given, but I'm telling you you will really underrate how much more it changes your experience

when you don't have this sort of like background noise happening of like wanting to look at social media, even if it's just a look, not even just started to post. Just leave it. I don't, yeah. So much time of my life has been lost to like looking at social media and like I don't have any retroactive value to that time. Like I don't, I didn't get anything. I think the one positive memory I have is like when bin Laden was killed.

That was like a fun night on social media. I'm like, kind of like positive vibes. Otherwise, it's just like time disappearing, you know? Right. It's just like time goes away. So I agree. I think that's a good one. I was at the seminal valve of San Fernando Valley Indian restaurant,

Ganga Dean, when bin Laden was killed. And it was, I remember it was the restaurant was empty. Like me, my mom and like our friends from Japan. And we were all just like, I think my mom noticed on the TV. She's like, something bin Laden something. And we all turned around like, oh. all right well anyway I mean

I was on a plane and went up and told the pilot I said sir you're not gonna believe this in that newsroom you're just you're knocking on the cockpit door so like sir

I'm gonna get the air marshal you just I understood you served sir and I've just got to let you know he just we got him the closed cockpit door all right my underrated

a little less philosophical. I was, uh, is, is how weird the, I'm going to call it a game, the game doorknob is. Yeah, you mean just punching someone for farting? Punching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was, just took it for granted that everybody lived with that. I was listening to an episode, you know, I was driving a lot this weekend, listened to an episode of blank check, the movie podcast, uh, one of my faves. Um, we had Griffin Newman and producer Ben, uh, on before a couple of couple months ago. A while back, yeah, in studio, right? But in the Dead Poet Society episode, they're doing the films of Peter Weir.

The filmmaker Nia DeCosta was on and was like, they're talking about the weirdness of the culture at all boys schools. And she's like, did any of you go to all boys schools? Because I once worked with, I think a writer who was talking about something called Meat Lips. Do you know what Meat Lips is, Miles? no the fuck I don't so the thing that they would do at this all-boy school which is where they would rub their hands

on their junk and then come up and like pop you on the mouth and go meat lips oh fuck and I was like how horrible where did this person grow up what kind of monstrous shit is like made in the petri dish

of all boys schools and then Griffin Newman was like, well, kind of reminds me of doorknob, and none of the other people on the show had heard of it. So he like described a doorknob. One of his co-host grew up in the UK. And he described, he was like, yeah, so if you fart, someone would yell doorknob, and then they would be able to keep punching you until you touched a doorknob. Sometimes you would be held, you would be prevented.

from touching a door so you could get beat the fuck down. That was some shit we would do. Yeah. Like if you were trying to get to the doorknob

like you would be gang tackled. Right. And just it just wailed on. And like hearing that described to people who had never heard it before. Yeah.

Was like, I was like, oh, it kind of put it in a new context that I was like, oh, I guess that's just as strange and out loud

and describe it. It sounds all. fucked up. Right. That every time I was farting, I was screaming safety. Safety, right. Yeah, yeah.

I should mention that that is an important. So it does put you in a weird prisoner's dilemma because you have to announce to the room that you farted less. They do the detective work, scream doorknob. Sometimes I would just quietly go stand next to the door and then let one go and then touch the doorknob. Oh, interesting.

Interesting. Yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. It was always, you always had to announce safety. Touch the doorknob. Meat Lips is really fucking deranged. What's funny, though, is I remember, I went to, like, you know, Catholic, like, co-ed school. It was always the boys' school shit always manifested in the football team.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the really weird, you know. Homo erotic. Homo erotic, yeah, like, like dick puppetry. slash, you know, light, whatever weird shit was going on in there. That was always in the context of the football team. Yeah. And I think because that's the closest you get to an all-boys school is a bunch of, you know,

pubescent boys sweating and lifting weights together and screaming about whatever the fuck. Yeah. It's just like sadism. My underrated last week was about sadism and the fact that there's a study that the people who drive really loud cars. they like did a study expecting them to like score high on narcissism like because it's like look at me look at me but it was actually they said they scored really high on sadism and I like so they're just like they know that it's painful to us and they yeah yeah and like

thinking of sadism as like a thing that's out there it's like the dark triad of like psychopathy sadism I forget what the third one is but um I think it's narcissism uh that like that's just a thing that's out there of like people who want to do harm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like having a professional need to do that is, is wild to me. What is something, Miles? Do you think it is overrated?

Overrated, okay, I just found out about it's not about this specifically, but I just found out about dark showering. Okay. So it's basically... Showering in the pitch dark? Just like lower light. And I'm like, oh yeah, like,

Because I like a night shower. You know, because in Japan, you typically bathe at the end of the day because it's relaxing. And so I like to shower at night when I can. But I hate the like super bright light. It just doesn't, it's not conducive to my wind down experience. Yeah. Why is that that I just accepted that showers need to be under like surgical lighting? Yeah.

Like in a fucking slaughterhouse. Every movie shower always. takes place in the highest light, like, possible, I feel like. Yeah. And, like, and, you know, bathrooms are well lit for a good reason. People have to get ready and shit. Need to see themselves. But I was like, I was trying, I realized I like it way, way darker.

And then I saw, like, this content about it. But the thing that I think is overrated are when people take a preference, like, dark showering and swear that it is, like, the only scientific way to do something. Like, I see this a lot with, like, different trends. where there's always like this weird pseudoscience attached to it. And I just think it's overrated. Like, just say like you rock with a thing. You don't have to be like, you don't have to like, you know,

support your preference with the thing that it's like, it's actually scientifically proven that this thing that I like is actually the best thing you can do for your body. It's like, bro, I get it, bro. The light is too fucking bright. And the vibes are fucked up if you're trying to go to sleep after. Fuck yeah, dude. This is have it, have it dark.

And there's all these articles, which is true, right? Like, you don't want to have harsh blue light before you go to sleep. Like, there are logical things that make sense as to why dark showering may be more relaxing. But like, on the other side of it, you see people on Reddit being like, I did, it's not working for me. And blah, blah, blah. It's like, no, no, it's not that this was the only way for someone to go to bed properly. It's just, it's just a nice way to take a shower. And it, the reason why it feels nice is for these things that do have scientific.

you know, scientific evidence behind it, but the concept of it has not been, there's scant studies on the efficacy of dark showering, but I think we all know it is calming, it is better to not have harsh light,

and therefore is a good thing. I just think acting like some shit we like, our preferences have some kind of like scientific edge. I think that's just overrated. It can just be like, yeah, dude,

it's chill. It's way more chill for these reasons. And yeah, there might be some benefits, but that shouldn't be the only reason to do is like, does it appeal to you? then fucking try it out.

Don't worry about it. For you? Just tell yourself that that's what's... I do think that that is way more powerful. Like, in doing these icon episodes, like, we've talked about the fact that, like, Elvis thought that he had this, like, magical connection to the twin that was in the room with him that, like, died in utero.

And, like, that that, his twin was, like, kind of powering his success the whole time. I do think, like, having a thing, if you can, convince yourself that it is like giving you some sort of extra magical powers, you know, in some cases it's religion for people. But like I do think that's a like a powerful force. But it's the second, first of all, the second you say it out loud, you're assuming that it's going to work for other people in a way that it probably won't because, you know, they don't have whatever specific beliefs to you do. Yeah. And also I've, I feel like saying something out loud gives it a power that is going to like fuck it up.

Like if you're like, hey man, you're really like in tennis, you're really serving well today. That's a great way to fuck somebody to serve up that day. You know, just by like saying a thing. Or like if you're like, I'm really, you know, hitting well today, you're going to start fucking up. That was like with the Argentinean national team,

with the last World Cup, they refused to say like that they could win. Right. Like even as they got to the final, they're like, no, bro. It's dumb supernatural bullshit, but it does work.

I think we're dumb supernatural beasts. Yeah. And so that like, I think it's sometimes that shit works, but just keep it to yourself because it's not going to work for everybody. They were saying annulamufa, which is like annulling the jinx. Yes.

That's right. Don't even fucking bring that shit up. Words are powerful. Yeah. Words are powerful. I just released the 76ers to be able to, win by you know so congratulations and you're welcome to the city of Philadelphia um do you see that they're keeping tickets away from like New Yorkers for the

next rent I love it like get Philly used to just use it spite like that is what Philly's great at being spiteful sore winners sore losers just like use that you know make everybody hate you um my overrated uh one is just T-shirts that are like three layers deep in an argument. I saw a guy this weekend wearing a t-shirt. I'm wearing a t-shirt that said, no one cares, work harder. It's like, wait, what?

I'm sorry, what? I'm sorry, who you talking to, bro? No one cares, uh-huh, uh-huh. It's like, it's like, you know, being in a quiet room and yelling, who are you calling psycho? Yeah. It's just like,

Are you all right? Man. And he seemed so happy. He was like playing ping pong with, I don't know, his girlfriend by the pool with just a, you know, smiling while wearing a t-shirt that was like, nobody cares. Work harder. Fuck you. Oh, my God. Yeah.

I have just, it's like CEO bullshit. Like, it's like people who, you know, love CEOs and want to be CEOs, want to act like CEOs or something. something. Yeah. One, and really you're just being like, okay, so let me guess what was screamed

at you as a child. Right. On a T-shirt. I'm just going to take a wild stab in the dark here. It's so gross. You were told no one cares a lot. And then also under, also overrated,

I would just say, interviewing the owners of any sporting thing. They interviewed the owner of the horse after the Kentucky Derby. If you didn't watch the Kentucky Derby. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The trainer was a woman for the first time.

First woman trainer to win. Wasn't the favorite of Japanese horse or some shit I was hearing? I don't know. There were like four horses that were favorites. One of them scratched day of. Oh, man. But the horse that I liked was great white. Horses Japanese.

Okay, yeah. It was called Great White. And it was like bigger than the other horses. So I was, we watched it together. It was like, oh, this will be fun. like my kids will like see the excitement. Each, each of us will pick a horse and whoever like,

whoever's horse comes in the highest position will, uh, you know, get five, win 700 bucks. Yeah, yeah, uh,

and it was really fun. Like my, uh, son who just turned 10, uh, was like, that was so fun like that. We,

we should do that again. I was like, son, welcome to the wonderful world of gambling. God, he's 10. He just turned 10 on Friday. I feel like,

um, Thurman when she wakes up from the coma looking at my fucking hand lines right now. 10 years. 10 years later. That's going to fuck you up. Three years is fucking me up.

But anyway. I know. He, but yeah. But the horse I picked for Jaws reasons was Great White. And I texted my friends. Speaking of making, once you say a thing, it has power.

Texted my friends and was like, I'm going with Great White for Jaws reasons. And the horse immediately started freaking out and it got scratched like on the way to walking into the stocks. Like it, the second I texted it, like, it fell on its back and like almost killed the person riding it. It was a horse called Great White. It was like bigger than the other horses. And it had a, I think an Irish, an Irish trainer.

So it was like, come on. Everything was lining up for you. Everything's lining up. I was like with me with a Japanese horse. I'm like, oh, baby, if I were to bet on animals racing, this would be it. But anyways, they, so an amazing story. The trainer is like the main part, you know, it's like the coach and the jockey is like the player on the field. Nothing to do with the horse.

Right. And then the owner is like the last person you want to hear from. But like that's the first person they interview in the winner circle. Mm-hmm. And they kept asking her about like, the jockey and the woman and like her answers, the owner's answers were just very like, yeah, well, he ran the race we expected him to. Oh my God.

It was just like real. She seemed annoyed that they were cutting away to like the woman trainer and that the woman trainer was like getting all the energy, which just a great metaphor for the country, the state of the country that we're in. Hello CEO. Yes, it was all because of me. Not off the backs of the act, not even the fucking horse, which is the fucking horse. which is the fucking thing that carried the fucker across the line.

Yeah. It was all that's what I expected because I demand nothing less from my team. Uh-huh. That's right. I'm a job creator. Exactly. Those people and their family owe me every meal that they eat. They should be thanking me.

Anyways, let's take a quick break. And we'll be back to talk about the news. We'll be right back. Experience Harry Styles live in London, England at Wembley Stadium. This is Harry Styles.

Hey, this is Robert from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast. Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fan, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand new week of fun, thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes. Join us as we tackle science and culture topics from a galaxy far, far away, such as the biology of tauntons and wampas on the ice planet hot, or the practicality and corporate business sense of the Sith rule of two. Listen to Stuff to Blow Your Mind on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 2%. That is the number of people who take the stairs when there is also an escalator available. I'm Michael Easter, and on my podcast, 2%, I break down the science of mental toughness, fitness, and building resilience in our strange modern world.

I'll be speaking with writers, researchers, and other health and fitness experts, and more to look past the impractical and way too complex pseudoscience that dominates the wellness industry. We really believe that seed oils were inherently inflammatory. We got it wrong. Many of the problems that we are freaked out about in the world

are the result of stress. Put yourself through some hardships, and you will come out on the other side a happier, more fulfilled, healthier person. Listen to 2%. That's T-W-O-Persent on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

Mm. Mm. Were you flying Spirit miles back from Japan? Yeah. Spirit Halloween or Spirit Airlines? Spirit Halloween. Well, they already changed the interior to a Halloween store. Spirit Halloween store.

Yeah. I was sitting in the back near the wigs. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I was like, hey, get after it. But yeah, it was four connecting flights and a 28-hour journey, but I did make it home. And they said it was the last, this was one of the last flights they were flying. So you got to take the seat with you when you're done.

You get to just rip it. Well, it was because the seat belt didn't actually dislodge. So they had to cut the airline seat off of me. Yeah. But then they're like, if you want, you can just fucking take it.

I mean, you're lucky. You got one that worked, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, Spirit Airlines long a punchline for,

you know, their model was we're the, the worst. The position that we're going to fill here is we're going to give you a cheap flight and then it's going to be like a stress test. Right. Like a capitalistic stress test where like you have to pay for everything. Like oh, you're getting thirsty. You getting thirsty from those pretzels? The only thing that we actually give you. Water is going to be $3 like, you know, a tiny tiny little bottle of water. and the seats were designed by the same people

who designed those like benches in parks to make it so that like, oh like anti-unhoused people like, yeah, break your spine. It's like fuck you to skaters and someone who needs a rest. Right. And they finally like it just didn't work out. They over the weekend on Saturday

failed in a way that like, I don't, I think it hasn't happened. This is the first time in 25 years that a major U.S. airline has gone out of business due to financial trouble. What was it like? Continental. I think that's right.

And I don't like even then they didn't just like people showed up to the airport and they're like, yeah, sorry. We're out of business. I declare bankruptcy. There you go. You did it. They, yeah, it just feels very, I don't know, like, not. not the sort of thing that you would expect to be happening in a thriving democracy,

as the stock market report tells me we are. The thing with Spirit, I think it was a lot like that guy's phrase T-shirt. Right. You know, stop complaining, work harder. That's right. Oh, really? Do you don't like it?

Well, maybe if you worked harder, you wouldn't be on Spirit Airlines. It's like sort of like the hostility towards people. We're like, I'm sorry, man. Like, this is you guys carry one of the few routes to a place I'm trying to. to go. And like, well, then deal with it. It was, I mean, I had, it's funny because I had such, it was really like either or with me on spirit. I had ones where the one thing is, they were always terribly uncomfortable. That's the one consistent thing. But in terms of like the behavior of the people on the plane, sometimes I had very quiet flights. Other ones I've had pretty like rambunctious

ones where like people who clearly trotted in drunk from the terminal had to be like read the riot act. And usually like when it's bad, it ends up. delaying things. Luckily, I was on one where someone was like, okay, okay, I'll stop talking.

I'll stop talking. Okay, okay. The only way to approach it is with self-loathing. You can't go in there with a chip on your shoulder because then you're going to

disrupt other people's flight. You just have to sit down in your chair and think about all the things you could have done better to not be flying on. And sometimes there's nothing you can do, you know, it just is. Yeah,

that's just where you're at. The company canceled all, flights, halted customer service, and told travelers not to come to the airport on Saturday. Jesus Christ. They are being issued refunds and instructed to rebook with other airlines, but like, you know, or don't. I don't know.

Your flight is canceled. They cited the increase in oil prices is one of the key factors behind the closure. But of course, Sean Donfee. Wait, so, okay, there's oil prices have gone up. Something recently. Thanks a lot, Obama. Oh, not far back.

Sean Duffy said that the collapse of Spirit Airlines followed former president Joe Biden's administration, the Biden administration's decision along with Buttigieg to block a proposed merger with JetBlue. Oh, so the lesson here was that they got to let more mergers happen. Yeah, that's right. It's so stupid. Oh, well, if only they had created one behemoth, fuck you. airline. This wouldn't have happened and a greater share of

Americans could be fucked over by their terrible greedy policies. Is it really that for JetBlue right now that they would have merged with Spear? It would probably have been just about like getting their fleet or something or just sort of like access to it. I have no idea. I mean seemingly JetBlue

I've had good times on JetBlue. Yeah, I've always had good times on JetBlue. Always a good time on JetBlue. Hashtag not a fucking ad. But the The oil prices thing is so funny to act like to completely ignore the root cause of all the oil price shock right now. And then just be like, it was actually this. I mean, I can't say the obvious thing.

How much work do you think they had to do? Like, how long do you think they spent researching something that they could like blame it on that wasn't the oil prices caused by the? I think it's like anything. Like if you're that far gone and have the boot so far down your throat like that, it's, it's, it's, it's, like being a great, like you already know how to say the thing without, like, humiliating yourself. Yeah, that's right. For me, it would have taken a while, but for him, he's got, he's got it ready to go. Oh, hell of you. So, a guy on YouTube named, uh, hi there, Hunter. Oh, hey. Hey, I see you. Um, is, uh, launched a campaign to crowd fund enough money to buy the airline. Uh, his, his videos do seem to be very spirit airlines heavy.

he has won with 93,000 views that's titled, I flew Spirit Airlines for 24 hours straight. And the picture is him like pressing his face against the window. I don't know how they got this picture, by the way. Did that for 93,000 views, bro? Yeah, come on. You could do better than that. You went 24 hours for that?

I ranked every U.S. airline, exclamation point. And it was being covered as though he raised $22 million, which by the way has to be 21.995 million more than is needed to purchase Spirit. But his pitch was basically, let's turn Spirit Airlines into the Green Bay Packers, like a crowd-owned, crowd-funded airline. Let's get it. Let's snap it up before private equity does. And the dollar figure that's being quoted, man raises $23 million in pledges overnight to

By Spirit Airlines. Again, those are pledges. He hasn't raised money. That's people on the internet being like, sure, I'd throw in a hundred bucks to that. So would you? Okay, great. And can I count you in? I guess.

You're up to put any money up now? No, no, no, no, no. No, no. I don't even know. I need to know your name. Just give me, like, vibes. Just pledge to me that you will. Viby fundraising.

But he, yeah, he launched a website asking people to pledge hypothetical dollars. They may or may not actually have. part of a... And also, does he even know even if you pulled up with this money, how all of this would work to turn it into like a cooperative? Yeah, I don't think a guy that does airline

YouTube's is that, like, this is a cool idea that should be, like we should be having publicly owned corporations competing with private equity. Yeah, absolutely. It's just a,

it's very frustrating, but the only version that ends up happening is like a YouTube channel being like, hey, could I get some IOUs from you on this one? And even then not really have that real intent to, or no, rather, he might have the intent to do good, but the knowledge might not be there for, I'm guessing he doesn't have a track record of taking formerly private companies into public-be-led co-ops.

But those are his two passions, uh, building his YouTube channel. and taking privately owned companies into public co-ops. Hell, yeah. All right, well, look, God bless, because you already know private equities fucking ready to pick through that fucking corpse.

Do we, it does feel like this is the sort of thing where the government would typically, like I remember reading stories where a airline is having trouble and the government like steps in and, you know, helps. fund it or you know makes make some things happen and like it just feels like in this case they're we just it's the thing that you know cool zone uh calls the crumbles where things are just

falling apart and like people inside the government are not incentivized to do a good job they're just incentivized to like have a line ready to go that will please Donald Trump right right right Joe Biden insult. And so the incentive structure means like nothing's getting done. Everything's falling apart. Which they went out of business before their planes started just like falling out of the sky. Yeah. But as producer Brian the editor, producer Brian the editor pointed out he's saying they were

jettisoning passengers mid-flight. But they did land safely. Those people. They did have parachutes on. So it's okay. Halfway through the flight. They're like, oh, we're out of business. All right, so half you fuckers got to go. Cut the engines. Look, either some of y'all can jump out and land safely in a parachute or all of us are going to fucking die in here. So what's it going to be? I did want to give an update on how the other half a millionth of a percentage live, specifically Elon Musk is suing Open AI in open court. And last week he came in with this story that he was telling.

where he's like, I'm trying to make it, I'm trying to support non-profit companies. Oh, really? Yeah, like, that's kind of my whole thing. That's what's going on here? Yeah, you can't just be turning nonprofit companies into, like, money-making companies. So he's asking, he's asking for $134 billion in damages.

His attorney told the jury in the opening statement, we were here today because the defendants in this case stole a charity. Um, a illegal porn, racist generating content machine thing. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Um, so, uh, his first witness, Elon Musk.

Ooh. Your honor, I'd like to call myself to the stand. Wow. Testified for hours. Some of the stuff. He said, I gave them 38 million of essentially free funding, uh, which they used to create an $800 billion for-profit company. He framed his lawsuit as an effort to protect the greater good.

If we make it okay to loot a charity, the entire foundation of charitable giving in America will be destroyed. Okay, doge fuck. What is this fucking guy? I mean, I know what he's going on about. He's duplicit. He's a liar, so he has to say shit like this. But what a flimsy fucking.

Protecting not-for-profit initiatives doesn't seem to be that important to him. Yeah. What about USAID? What did you think of that? This is actually just, it turns out a pissing contest that is allowed to happen because every oligarch gets to be their own little Stalin and basically try to like revise history,

however they see fit. So the reality behind the situation is that he was pushing for them to go the for-profit route. Yeah, he was pushing open AI to go the for-profit route and was just mad when he wasn't made the head of that branch of the company when they did that. So he's like, oh, so I gave you all this money

only for you guys to not reward me with making me the head of it. I'm suing you for turning a non-profit into an 800. Yes. And also give me $134 billion. In addition to like us all knowing him, there are emails that I'm like not sure

how he thought he was going to just get around that. But I do think these people are just all surrounded by so many yes men that they lose their ability to operate in reality. They just become garden variety celebrities who's both style and perception of the world just like freezes in amber the second they stop hanging around people who will be honest with them. Right. So emails uncovered as part of the discovery process, however, revealed that Musk had previously embraced moving open AI to a for-profit model.

And before leaving, he sought control of a new for-profit. seeking a majority of board seats and 51% of shares. He only left after Altman and Brockman refused his demands. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. This is all very good. I'm glad to see nothing's changed. Yeah. We didn't fix it when you were gone. So there's still content. Jack, didn't I fucking say to fix this shit before I get back?

Work on this. But yeah, they're just like engines fueled by grievances and like, the good vibes created by drugs and their little bubbles of yes, man. And this is who's in charge of the world. It shows you when you get, you're surrounded by sycophants,

like you lose the whole concept of like linear facts. Right. Because anything can just be argued with your sycophants and be like, that's not, well, that's not what I meant if I said that. They're like, oh, okay, sir, okay. Yeah, when you go to court and they're like,

these are emails of you pushing for a for a profit model, you can't just be like, well, that's not what I meant. You know, like that's a little bit harder. Okay, well, the evidence, because that's what we will be used to come to a determination here, says otherwise, even if you're insisting. That's not what I meant. I was probably on ketamine or something anyway, so that's a lie. This is from oligarch watch. They said, emails uncovered, or sorry, they said,

and Musk's cross-examination revealed his loose relationship with the truth and truth and selective short-term memory. At one point, Musk testified that Tesla was not pursuing artificial general intelligence. No, Tesla is not pursuing AGI. It's literally trying to make a car drive from A to B. The defense attorney then pulled up an ex post from March when Musk said, Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI and probably the first to make it humanoid atom shaping form.

So just, yeah, explicitly said the thing he said that they weren't doing. He was also comically reluctant to concede even like very confirmed facts. He was asked whether he was romantically involved with venture capitalist Chivon Zillis. And he replied, I think so. She is the mother of four of his children. Dude, I mean, God, bro, that's the one thing. Your lying skills really erode when you're, around yes, man.

Yes, exactly. I think so. I think so is so wild. I mean, I bet he thought that was going to be like a laugh line where he's just like, I don't know. I got so many hos in different area codes. Am I right, Your Honor? Am I right?

Hey, I'm sorry to my four kids who just heard that. That's not what daddy meant. If I even am your daddy, I don't know, man. Anyway. The Washington Post also reported last week that his posting on X has grown increasingly concerned with the plight of attacks on white people. And this is as he's like about to potentially become a trillionaire because SpaceX is going to go public and make him even even richer.

So. Oh, God. Jesus. We have to do something when that happens. Like we got a party or something. Yeah, yeah, for sure. We've got to. We've got to do something.

Yeah. Fucking celebrate that. I hope it. I just hope he's, I hope he gets there, you know. That's going to be cool. I hope he gets there. I'm not going to define there right now.

But I hope he gets there. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Experience Harry Styles live in London, England at Wembley Stadium. This is Harry Styles.

Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fan, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand new week of fun, thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes. Join us as we tackle science and culture topics from a galaxy far, far away, such as the biology of tauntons and wampas on the ice planet hot, or the practicality and corporate business sense of the Sith Rule of Two.

It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all,

embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Podcasts. 2%. That is the number of people who take the stairs when there is also an escalator available.

I'm Michael Easter. And on my podcast, 2%, I break down the science of mental toughness, fitness, and building resilience in our strange modern world. I'll be speaking with writers, researchers, and other health and fitness experts, and more to look past the impractical and way too complex pseudoscience that dominates the wellness industry. We really believe that seed oils were inherently inflammatory. We got it wrong.

Many of the problems that we are freaked out about in the world are the result of stress. Put yourself through some hardships, and you will come out on the other side a happier, more fulfilled, healthier person. Listen to 2%. That's T-W-O-Persent on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And speaking of that other attacks on white people. Uh-huh. Speaking of attacks on white people,

everyone's being really hard on Jeff Bezos right now, and it needs to stop. Everyone needs to knock it off, okay? So I was just reading, he owns, I think we talked about when he bought it. He has his $500 million mega yacht called the Kauru that he's reportedly looking to part ways with. And Jesus, if there were only other people out there With this kind of wealth to be able to afford such an indulgence

What's he going to do? Just some details. This $500 million yacht also comes, it has a $75 million support ship That has to go like that travels alongside it Although it is unclear whether this is part of the deal. Also, according to reports, It costs $30 million a year to operate the two fucking ships.

Holy fuck. But this is, I think, the part where everyone's like, it reads is like, oh my God, huge mega yacht is on the market that Jeff Bezos used to own. This is the other part from the New York Post. We hear Coru, which features a wooden sculpture of Bezos's wife, Lauren Sanchez,

as a mermaid on the prow, has become too recognizable for the Amazon billionaire. Wow. So it's not really for practical reasons that he's trying to part ways with it. It's getting hot out of here, folks. This makes it just way too obvious to people that I am near

and therefore a threat to my well-being in safety. So I'm probably going to just travel in like 70 smaller boats simultaneously that come together for a Voltron yacht that can then defeat the proles if they get near. Speaking of the proles, they're not happy that he is an honorary chair of the Met Gala. The Met tonight's big, fashion's big night. Miles. That's tonight. That's tonight. The MetGala is tonight. And it's generating more.

Well, so here's the thing. All right. There's some people are getting more and more upset about the Hunger Games capital. They're haters because they're not getting invited because they're not popping enough to go. Yeah. The New York Times talks about it as a surge in sentiment, rarely foregrounding the fact that the inequality is the thing that the surge is reacting to. to. Opposition to the Bezos's involvement with the Met started almost immediately after they

were announced as financial sponsors in February and comes am at a surging anti-rich sentiment nationwide and in New York City, the event's liberal home. The outrage seemingly gained momentum after the city's newly elected mayor, Zoramam Dhani, a Democratic socialist, declared in mid-April that he would skip the gala, breaking with many of his predecessors, saying that his focus is on something called affordability, whatever that is. Wait, I've heard of a Ford Explorer, a Ford Expedition. Affordability?

Yeah, yeah. It's the newest model. It's got to be like the newest model. Like massive. Ah, yes, yes. It's the size of a super yachts help. What a great answer, though, too. Hey, you're going to go to this fucking god-y flex show of riches?

I'm kind of working on affordability. that's good answer, good answer. Very politically shrewed by him to jump on this rising trend of in sentiment. You know? Anti-rich sentiment. That's like so... The number of Democratic strategists that he must have consulted to come up with that answer, like, what a genius.

Would have paid for that yacht that Bezos is selling. After a great deal of thought and consideration, I too have decided I will boycott the Met Gallo this year. Because it is kind of weird. Like one of the, so there's this group, everyone hates Elon that is calling for a boycott of the event with a bunch of, they're doing like some fun stuff. Just like putting up posters and they just love a poster projected an entire like video onto the entire side of the Empire State Building of. Oh, wow. Says the Bezos Med Gala with it on a red carpet with a tear gas canister.

And it says brought to you by the firm. that powers ice. That's right. But it is funny to ask people to boycott the Met Gala because I don't know how I would do that other than just doing the same thing that I've done every year. Not looking at, not casting your gaze upon it. I see some kind of like carousel from on Instagram

that shows me three outfits. That's right. Yeah, I mean, as somebody who used to work for Condé Nast, that used to be like the hell's nightmare for digital content teams. Because it's just fucking there all, all fucking day. Did you have to go uncover it ever? No,

no, because I was, I was LA-based. So, like, the Oscars were, like, sometimes,

like, the things we'd have to do, like, a red carpet or, like, red carpets out here, which were whatever. But,

like, the MetGob was just such a huge New York thing that, like, I just remember coworkers being like, I'm going to perish from having to take pictures of people's crazy dresses. Right. But hey, that's what, that's what Ano Wintour demanded at the time.

They also recently reported that, so the whole thing is to raise money for the costume institute at the mat. That's the whole, that was like the whole point, right? It's actually a fun, it's like, it's not just fancy dresses, it's also to make a museum. Right. Which, like, that is the one thing that we do, like, that rich people used to do that they don't do anymore is like, you know, fund a wing of a museum. So like, you know, but even the standard rich guy shit of like adding a museum wing that people can like go to and learn from is not even

in play here because there was news last week that the gala might soon have raised enough money for the costume institute to not rely on the gala for annual funding. So there's like, that sounds like a lot of money. We don't actually need this much money, guys. If it was for annual funding, I mean, I get that they're saying, we have so much money that we are funded annually many times over. Has any institution in the history of capitalism been like, I think we're good, actually? It must be so much, they're like, guys, what are we doing?

Why are you doing this? You know, there's no way we can use all of this, right, before Earth death? We're a costume institute. Yeah. Yeah. But anyways, we'll see. how it all goes over probably it seems like there aren't that many

like I think Beyonce is still going or is still like one on the board like there's still big names that are attached and going and yeah they're they're I mean they're come I mean Jay Z's a billionaire now right so they're in good company let's see them try to have fun

while I'm boycotting it though you know I for one will not be looking. That's right. I'm turning away. And it's not because I couldn't find a babysitter tonight. And because I just found out it was tonight. It's just because I'm actually boycotting.

And finally, we have a Bafo box office report once again last weekend. The Michael Jackson movie. Numbers. Did big numbers. Big, big, big. The Devil Wears Prada 2 was massive, $77 million. in North America, 156 overseas for a global

total of $233 million. One of the best showings ever for a female-fueled movie. What category is that? I keep calling it. Female-fueled? The Hollywood Reporter. Female-fueled. Female-fueled.

It's so fucking weird. The original movie made $27 million domestically in 2006. I don't know if that, that must have been the opening weekend, but I think it didn't, like it ended up making 100 million worldwide,

but like not much more. So it opened to 27 million in 2006 and finished with 124 million. And it's, the sequel's already like, lapped that essentially. Yeah. Wow.

When I was on the plane, I usually just like, I'm always looking at them flight map. And they do this thing where it's like, you know, there's like two, like a progress bar. And the little icons on the progress bar

were both fucking, like, where the devil wears Prada heel with like the trident. Really? Yeah. And I was like, at first I was like, am I, like, what the fuck am I looking at? Marketing it like space jam? Like, but it was so subtle. There was nothing else. There wasn't even like an ad anywhere else.

It's like they just took over those little things. And then like when you opened up like the entertainment section, they're like, want to watch a movie? Like the first one was there. But there was no mention of this. new one. I was like, oh, right, this must be coming on. Ended up watching Interstellar for the first time. Oh, you've never seen Interstellar? I saw the first part of it, like, really high.

I remember when it came out, and I was like, ah, dude, this is an inception that I stopped watching it. And then I watched it. I was like, oh, okay, I see, I see, I see, I get it. I see why people really love that movie. That feels like one of those generational things. Didn't you, you young to miss me a little bit. Yeah, like younger people, like just people like five to seven years younger than me. are like, so fucking crazy, dude. He's like, he's like in the fifth dimension.

I was like, okay, cool. The things that really struck me about it were just like the stuff that was really about like the sacrifice of parents for their children. Yeah. I should see it again now that I have kids. But at the time I was making a jerk off hand motion. The younger person who I went to see it with was like, I think that's the best movie I've ever seen.

Yeah, it has. Yeah, and it's funny because I went into it with like all of the hearing all the same things about it where like people are like, whatever, dude. Like it's fine. Other people like, it's so visually brilliant. And I'm like, that's all of these things have been true. There were parts where I did not really care for. There were parts that I thought, I honestly thought the robot was the coolest thing. The way that that fuckers just turned into different shapes. I was like, yeah, yeah, I like this. I like this robot. Yeah, the robot was sick. I, like, and. The things that I objected to are in no way any stupider than the things that I totally swallowed whole from Inception. Yeah, yeah, right. Exactly. I was just like, not, we're good here. Yeah. I will accept every single one of these ridiculous things. Yeah, yeah.

I don't know what it was, but I'll watch it again. I think the thing that I, the only, the part that I was just like, like, I always saw that meme of like McConaughey crying. I was like, what the fuck is going on in this movie? Like, when he's in that chair, like, looking at some video. and then I actually saw what it was about and I was like oh fuck dude that'd be so fucked up to Brian the editor's point that

like they did take a lot of care with the sciencey stuff but then that ending seems like they kind of abandon the sciencey stuff do they not like isn't it kind of like well love is the most powerful thing right what I hated about the movie but I did like that they built like a big ring

for people to live on that was sick Yeah, that was so cool. Yeah, the ring was awesome. The planet where like time moved slower. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But the part of me is like, if they figured it out, couldn't they have gone and gotten Anne Hathaway?

Right. I think she didn't want to be God, maybe? Wasn't that the thing? I don't know. I haven't seen it a long time. It was like by that point, it was like four in the morning and biological clock at that point.

And I was like, yeah. I thought I was like, oh, that's sick, bro. He just launched himself out the Tesseract and just sacrificed it. And then I was like, wait, bro, they caught him floating loose. all right, fine. Like, whatever. I would have been fine if he was dead, but... That's also a female fueled movie

and that they sacrifice her character for the purpose of... Throw it into the furnace. Throw it into the furnace. The sequel also, there's a fun little story that... Of interseller? No, of...

Also Anne Hathaway. Yes, also Ann Hathaway. And Shalem. Also, Anna Wintor, who is our next icon. Oh. How are you dealing with the fact? that you missed the Mr. Bean iconogram. I don't want to talk about it on Mike

just for the stability, overall stability of the show. Yeah, you know, not happy. But like I said, you know, when, like when we were planning around me being gone for two weeks,

I was like, you do what you got to do, man. I was like Matthew McConaughey in that scene of Interstellar when I saw the Dean episode come up. I'm just like, but, but,

but, but, Yeah, we have Anna Wintour coming up. So one detail that is getting it a little bit of good press is that there's a moment in the sequel where Anna Wintour's Car, Miranda Priestley, the Anna Wintor stand in. There's a piece of AI art generated about her that says, would you like some lies with that?

And she's like serving McDonald's. And that was the fake AI art from the movie was hand painted hand painted by an artist. I love that. They replaced AI with an actual artist. And a part of him was like, and it looks way better.

It looks good. Yeah. They totally nailed that like sort of the sort of shame of AI. You know what I mean? Like there's like this hard to describe the thing. Like when you look at it,

you just know it is. And I was surprised that the numbers on the signs were actually coherent in the back. I would have had a little more fun with that. But hey, her hands. Yeah. It takes place

in a world where AI it's like a couple months in the future where AI has figured out the fingers. But yeah, like the fries are a perfect spread of fries.

They look a little weird. It looks like pencils that are unsharpened. Shout out to Alexis Franklin who created that work of art. All right. Yeah.

I bet it was cheap too. She said she said she was fairly compensated. All right. That's what I like to hear. Oh, hell, man. Oh,

Fuck you guys are doing. Well, what's fair for a human versus fair for a data center that needs three billion gallons of water? Yeah, that's right. It was $15 an hour, I think. Yeah. All right. That is going to do it for this Monday, May 4th, wonderful to have you back. May the fourth be with you, Jack.
