Thank you so much, Blair, for coming through.

Starting point is 00:04:41 It's always a pleasure. So happy to be here. And we're joined by, oh boy, the lord of chaos, the lord of, the Michael Flatley of chaos on podcast, Mr. Blake Wexler. Hey, this is Blake Wexler,

Starting point is 00:04:54 aka the John Keats of Uber Eats, aka the yummy.com Don, aka Postmate Blake, aka you say Zomato, I say Zomato, aka the Grubhub Bud, aka, hey, you're outside? Which gate?

Starting point is 00:05:08 Oh, no, I'm further down the street. It's a common mistake. I'll be right out. Thank you for having me, you guys. Oh, man. Which one of those services do you actually use? Don't say it out loud, actually. Caviar.

Starting point is 00:05:20 Oh, wow. You eat caviar every day? Oh, my God. Do you have a girlfriend? That's a service? I do. Thank you for asking. Yeah, because. You eat caviar every day? Oh, my God. Do you have a girlfriend? That's a service? I do. Thank you for asking. Yeah, because you make a good boyfriend.

Starting point is 00:05:28 Oh, wow. You know what he's actually really good at is making this kind of pasta that makes the person who eats it skinnier. Mm-hmm. I don't know if that interests you at all, Blair. That's so crazy that you mentioned that. Because that was a tweet you did that I liked yesterday? Yeah, I know.

Starting point is 00:05:44 Okay. Yeah, it was just a simple desire where I said that all I want is a man who cooks me fresh pasta every single night, and then I get skinnier with each passing day. That's reasonable. What's your favorite kind of pasta? Oh, my God. I fuck with pasta. Which noodle?

Starting point is 00:05:58 But which noodle? Okay. God, it's so hard to choose. You a bucatini lady? Yeah. I fuck with bucatini. Yeah. I really love spaghetti. I love a bucatini. Yeah. I really love spaghetti.

Starting point is 00:06:07 I love linguine. Spaghetti-o's? I love ravioli. Yeah, I like spaghetti-o's. I mean, yeah. I'm bougie, but I go high and low. I like to mix high and low. The way you class up spaghetti-o's is aged Parmesan and Tabasco.

Starting point is 00:06:20 Yeah. I would always eat that as a kid. Well, not real. I would just use the green bottle craft. So much of that shit on top of SpaghettiOs and hot sauce. So aged, meaning you left it out? Yeah, aged like where you don't- A 12-month parm.

Starting point is 00:06:32 You didn't realize it's under your bed and you think it just smells like vomit in your room? If you grate the Parmesan yourself, that means you're really doing well. If you have a microplane? Yeah. Or sometimes I'll just pop open a can of SpaghettiOs and head to toe Gucci. And that's what we'll do. And just chef it up? Okay.

Starting point is 00:06:52 Well, before we get to know Blake a little bit better, let's just let people know what we're talking about. The L.A. City Council, they're doing the Lord's work. They're addressing homeless. Actually, no. They're upset. They're trying to get the Major League Baseball commissioner to give the Dodgers the World Series. I almost thought they were going to do something important.

Starting point is 00:07:10 Also, got to check in with impeachment a little bit because we're in the first one here. And also some little updates from Davos Seaworth or that place in Switzerland where all the billionaires go to be like, how do we hide our money this year? What are we doing this year? Also, it's MBS time. Not Mohammed bin Salman, but messy bitch season. Look out because he's out here. We were talking about how Jeff Bezos had those text leaks.

Starting point is 00:07:37 Well, we may have found out the real reason and who was behind it. Also, check in with some Polish, some Hillary Cleantown. I guess Mr. Peanut is died? Don't say that. Well, yeah. We'll have to check in on that and also some other things. Like, obviously, we've got to check in with Aunt Becky and her legal issues because she's our favorite privileged sack of flesh that

Starting point is 00:07:58 we like to look at. A fallen angel. Truly. Gabriel. The angel Gabriel. Yeah. And maybe some stuff about some vigilante furries that did a citizen's arrest. But before we get into all of that, Gabriel, the angel Gabriel. Yeah. And maybe some stuff about some vigilante furries that did a citizen's arrest. But before we get into all of that, Blake, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? As a comedian? Well, whatever, man.

Starting point is 00:08:20 Let us know. We'll determine that based on what's in the search history. I was looking up leaving airport re-entry was what I was looking at. Oh, like if you had a layover or some shit? Yeah, I have like a five-hour layover coming up in Houston. And I'm like, can I leave with my bags still at the airport and then come back? And then go to H-Town, sip a dirty Sprite or something. Go to H-Town, get a filthy fucking Sprite.

Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah. Yeah, and then take that down. Sip and lean. It's great. And then make your way back. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:54 So that's what I'm looking at. I would just say just go to Papadeau's in the terminal. Oh, yeah? Which terminal? Whatever United is. Oh, that's what the Papadeau, it ends with an X, right? Okay. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:04 I always have to mention at the Houston airport, that's my favorite place to eat. How many Michelin stars does that have now? What's the most you have, 19? Fucking 19. 19 Michelin stars. I can't believe you guys know Michelin star restaurants in airports. Of course. You don't?

Starting point is 00:09:18 No, I guess I don't, but I'm looking to learn. Yeah. Well, hey, join us on our new podcast. Michelin star restaurants. That's a very Chase search mystery to learn. Yeah. Well, hey, join us on our new podcast. Yeah. Michelin-starred restaurant. Also, that's a very Chase search mystery. Michelin impossible. Wow. Sorry.

Starting point is 00:09:29 And I interrupt you, and I apologize. No, no, no. I was just going to say, good for you. Every time I have to answer that question on this podcast, it's always something filthy and humiliating. What is it, porn or something? Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:42 What was one of the last ones? There was an interesting porn one you had one of the last times you came on. So Blair's into porn and you're into airport layovers. Sure. Great. Sure. Is there a layover app? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:56 Between the two. Absolutely. What's something that's overrated? Overrated? I'm going to have to say salvage jeans. Salvage? Salvage. What's that?

Starting point is 00:10:08 Salvage, I think, would be underrated because they'd be environmentally friendly. Salvage is like they're fancy jeans. They're like a nice material that you have to – I don't know if they're nice. It's like a raw material that you break in over a year, but there's no give to them. So if your weight fluctuates like daddy's, you need to keep buying new ones. You need to have multiple sizes. Oh my god, yeah. And you're not supposed to wash

Starting point is 00:10:31 them, right? No, no, you're not. You're supposed to put them in the freezer or some shit. Yeah, well, that's a myth because like, it's not my myth for today. I'm going to double down on myths. Where you're supposed, people say you put them in the freezer, but I've read that that just freezes the bacteria. But then once you unfreeze it, there's still just bacteria.

Starting point is 00:10:49 Ew, that's so gross. Right, exactly. I've actually, this is so weird because I didn't know what it was. But I've heard Marc Maron talk about how he puts his jeans in the freezer. That's probably why I bought them, honestly, because I heard he had them and I thought it was cool. Your style. That's my aesthetic. That's why I have a mustache, honestly, because I heard he had them and I thought it was cool. Your style. That's my aesthetic. That's why I have a mustache.

Starting point is 00:11:08 And a flannel shirt on. Wait, how do you wash salvaged denim then? So you soak them in a tub. The whole thing is fucking embarrassing. Do you know this because you tried it? Yeah, I had them for a while and then I hit 30 and now the weight fluctuates like 5 to 10 pounds each month. So it's like I get stretch jeans, and they're fucking great. So if you have a big weekend, those puppies aren't going to button.

Starting point is 00:11:34 No, thank you. Oh, my God. With a button fly, too? Yeah, a button fly, which is tough to button after you're done with whatever it is you do down there. I feel like there's only one of two things you can do down there. I feel like there's only 20 things. You're doing number one or number two? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:49 Okay. Yeah. We'll leave it there. What's something that's underrated? Underrated? We were kind of talking about this before the podcast, but our ass. Because I have the collective ass that we share.

Starting point is 00:12:01 Our ass? Yeah. Our ass? He's talking about the sex toy we share yeah yeah no um i'll get it this week like a human being's ass because i have like back pain the gluteus minimus and maximus both wow yeah because that's like muscles i have back pain and that helps with back pain back pain where if you strengthen your ass it will actually compensate for like things that you would do with your back yeah i just know look it I just know, look, it's all connected.

Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah. Hamstrings. Yes. They're shortening by a second. You have tiny hamstrings. That's Miles' mantra. What? It's all connected.

Starting point is 00:12:32 It's all connected, baby. Oh my God. It's true though. Like I feel like when I get any amount of cash, I am going to get one of those trainers that just like spot treats my ass. Yes. And it's going to be incredible. Yes.

Starting point is 00:12:44 Is that what you're doing? Are you doing a lot of YouTube videos? It's been a good year. It's been a really good year. Have you been really? Are you doing a lot of hip thrusts? I'm doing, I do hip thrusts.

Starting point is 00:12:56 I've been doing like squats. Right. And then there's this other exercise where we were watching, my girlfriend and I were watching my friend, Justin Woolman's magic show the other day. And I was like doing my physical therapy while watching it. And she took a hidden video of me of me doing like these dainty squats without me knowing. And it's going to ruin me and my brand. No.

Starting point is 00:13:18 But yeah. You throw a band on there? I'll throw on a green band, the weaker of the three bands at first. And then I throw on the yellow at the end. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, green means fucking go, baby. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:31 When it comes to my ass. We got a Sean T. Insanity workout over here. Yeah. I know. I got some of those Instagram ass bands. I don't put them to too much use. No. I just, is that like where you're in a squat and you kind of like move laterally side to

Starting point is 00:13:44 side? Yeah. Yeah. And then there's like the donkey kicks with them. Whoa. I just Is that like Where you're in a squat And you kind of Move laterally Side to side Yeah And then there's like The donkey kicks with them Whoa And then like The fire hydrants Yeah

Starting point is 00:13:52 What's a fire hydrant? Sideline clams Clamshells or something Is another one Oh yeah And then it's like A thigh master Without having the thigh master

Starting point is 00:14:00 Exactly Yes yes yes Let me just get a thigh master Oh yeah I should just put that In my one-bedroom apartment. I honestly feel like, look, here's the secret. Get some sketcher shape-ups and a Thighmaster, and your butt's going to be looking like Jen Shelter's in no time.

Starting point is 00:14:15 I like that. What happened to Jen Shelter? Is she still kicking around? She's still out. She's donkey kicking around. Donkey kicking her shit to the bank, bro, still. I mean, I don't know if she, based on her lifestyle that she shows on her Instagram, for people who don't know, Jen Seltzer was known as the first ass Instagram account.

Starting point is 00:14:32 God, that was crazy. And gave us things like selttering, like how to pose your body to give your maximum bubble look to your booty. Right. As we know, I have a case of mum bum. No, no, don't say that. What's that mean? Also, that's fucking rude. I don't know know like a woman who's a mom like an old lady

Starting point is 00:14:49 oh so you gotta just do your glute activation exactly I need to activate my glutes yeah I'm quad dom baby you're quad dom I'm more into fin dom what are you like that woman on a top in the golden eye movie where she's like killing the dude with her legs? I do think that if I wanted to, I could squeeze the life out of a living man with my legs.

Starting point is 00:15:13 How great would that feel? I'm down to see. Look, I, well, I'm not going to say because that would put me in legal jeopardy. Sure. But I've tested the limits of what my thighs could do. Really? Yeah. And why?

Starting point is 00:15:26 Like gas canisters, oil drums, anything. Just see what I could put a dent in with my thigh strength. Oil drums? I would have never guessed that about you. City garbage cans, those plastic ones. Oh, yeah. Is there any other kind? That's true.

Starting point is 00:15:42 It depends on what city. If you're in Burbank, they have little ones. Sometimes I'll drive down the 101 and just see you with your legs wrapped around one of those thick cones. And a bunch of cops with their guns pointed at you. Let it go. Gary, you'll never get me to stop, copper. What he's doing is not technically a crime, but he has to stop. We'll give you a hernia.

Starting point is 00:16:03 What do you think? Do you think you could bust? I'm trying to think of what. Like a watermelon, I feel like anybody could probably do. That's why Gallagher was a fucking hack. It wasn't his joke, so anyone could fucking break that fruit. With a hammer? Yeah, with a hammer, you cheating bastard.

Starting point is 00:16:16 Oh my God. Yeah, break out those legs, Gal. He's definitely not quad Dom. No, no, no, no. I think I could pop a human head right off the body with my quad. Wow. Wow. Nice. Okay, so, Zeitgang, if you deal with cadavers and you have a loose one.

Starting point is 00:16:30 If you have an extra. I don't know. I'm not sure that I would mentally and emotionally be prepared to interact with a cadaver, but, you know. Okay, let's think, like, really, like, you know, and, like, what's available and what's realistic. What's too young? What's too old this metal garbage can right here do you think you could you could probably put a dent in that right okay so then let's what's above that um what's above metal garbage can in the pecking order of

Starting point is 00:16:57 things that you could squeeze with your thighs i feel like watermelon's low right like a cantaloupe is low that's done really. Really? Of course. Look, I'm going off of what you said. You're like, I could end a human life with my thigh strength. I know. I came out of the gate pretty hard, but like I'm not really sure. Don't backpedal now. Yeah, yeah. You're right.

Starting point is 00:17:14 You're right. I've got to retain my bravado from my leg, lethal leg. How cool would it be to do that to like a shark? Like it's going for your legs and then you pull a fast one on that finned little fuck yeah you know wow choke it out wow you're underwater huh i'm not pro shark have you ever yeah mr wonderful is a real piece of shit i'm sorry what have you ever seen a shark um i have one not while i was in the water but i saw yeah i saw like a nefarious fin it's still a nefarious fin. It's still a nefarious fin. God, that's the worst fucking feeling.

Starting point is 00:17:45 I mean, I grew up surfing. And so like, you know what's crazy though? Like whenever I've ever seen a shark, it was like from the shore. So I'm like, did I just not see them when they were next to me? Because, and I always, I don't know how they always come up on my account.

Starting point is 00:18:01 They all know, but like, there's always the videos on my Instagram of like a surfer right next to a shark. And now I'm like, thank God I don't surf anymore. It's too scary. Yeah. Is that why you stopped?

Starting point is 00:18:13 That's not why I stopped. No. Yeah. Because she killed a shark. It was mostly because of the leg murder. And it was actually a protected species. Yeah. And it was a felony.

Starting point is 00:18:22 They can protect themselves. No one listens to this, right? No, no, no. This is a vacuum. No one from Fish and Wildlife. Is that the government body? No, it's Fish and Game.

Starting point is 00:18:31 Fish and Game. Yeah. Yep. I got my license. That'd be a sick podcast. Welcome back to Fish and Game. But it's like pickup artists who also like fishing and stuff? My brother's so into fishing, he reads this fishing newspaper called Western Outdoor News.

Starting point is 00:18:46 Ooh. Yeah. Wait, but he's also like an OC dude and he's into fishing? Yeah, like they're all really into fishing and like diving and stuff. Oh. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:55 But not you? Oh, no. Just destroying things with your quads. I'm more of a quad dom. Quad destruction. Quad dom lady. Quad dom is so funny. Dude, quad.

Starting point is 00:19:06 Blake, what's a myth? A myth is that alcohol made from grain, like whiskey, is inherently gluten free and that's not true. There are traces of gluten in that shit. Are you gluten free?

Starting point is 00:19:21 My girlfriend has celiacs. Did you hear about his little butt? Yeah, are you getting the glute free? You heard my flat ass? I'm gonna slide off. I can't believe I'm sitting right now with this fucking ass. Yeah, but you've been putting in the reps, dude. Yeah. I gotta have a thick ass. Look, Rome

Starting point is 00:19:38 wasn't built in a day, man. Nor should it have been. But you could get butt injections pretty quickly. Oh, what if what if and not bring it up to your friends and just fucking

Starting point is 00:19:49 show up and just stand like profile at all times no prayer with those selvage jeans oh no no no you'd have to let those out

Starting point is 00:19:57 put those in the freezer for life boil those boil those fucking jeans wait how did you were there people saying that grain alcohol

Starting point is 00:20:06 like to me logically it's made from grain therefore there would be gluten in it right or it's because it's not the kind

Starting point is 00:20:12 you would ingest by because it's not liquid form it's like chemical traces of gluten so the argument that I'm saying

Starting point is 00:20:18 is a myth I always have trouble with this one is that so you're lying huh oh in that I'm a compulsive liar.

Starting point is 00:20:25 And I'm really into Mr. Information. Misinformation? Anyway, that didn't work. But... So the argument is that like, oh, like the fermentation process actually gets rid of the gluten. That's the myth.

Starting point is 00:20:39 When in reality, there's still traces in it. So if you're just gluten sensitive, you'll be like fine to drink whiskey. But if you have celiacs, you just probably shouldn't. Like stick to potato based. But what will happen, say,

Starting point is 00:20:52 if your girlfriend had a shot of whiskey? So she, when she has gluten, she like, she's described it as it feels like her intestines are being scraped by fingernails and then she vomits so we were just uh she was visiting my parents uh i was there as well and my mom cooked um chili for us which like should be gluten-free and we were loving her like mom this is amazing she goes do you want to know my secret ingredient and she was really proud of herself and we're like yeah of

Starting point is 00:21:23 course and she goes sam adams beer and we're like yeah of course and she goes Sam Adams beer and then my girlfriend just started vomiting like because she knew right yeah she thought it would cook off but the alcohol cooks off not the gluten so for this whiskey still has traces of gluten in it God your girlfriend must have a really good body

Starting point is 00:21:40 she does yeah she does but that's because she does the ass exercises with me but if you're blessed with celiacs it's just crazy because you got a built-in diet. I don't know how many people would say it was a blessing, but yeah. She thanks God every day. That's how you would look. If you were afflicted, then you would be like, you know what? I mean, not really.

Starting point is 00:21:57 I'm Italian. I'm a pizza pasta freak, so I would die. Isn't your blood type gluten? Yeah. My blood type is gluten, dog. So I would die. Isn't your blood type gluten? Yeah, my blood type is gluten, dog. But although, you know what?

Starting point is 00:22:05 I do hear that proper Italian flour because whatever it is in Italy itself, that flour tends to be good for people who have gluten intolerance. Yeah, I mean, it's like everything there is way less processed, way less chemicals. Oh, you don't have to tell me. I mean, when I was in Tuscany yeah there was just something about the food and maybe it was i think it was a ravioli ambroto that i had he's traveled absolutely delicious wow sorry i i just i had just flashes of it in the background. Where was I? Oh, here. With you guys.

Starting point is 00:22:48 Not in Tuscany. That's right. Okay, let's get into our first story. The L.A. City Council is showing true leadership. And I joked that I thought this was going to be something about addressing the homelessness situation in the city and also the housing crisis we have here. But no, they have banded together for a common cause to approve a resolution by unanimous vote that called for Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred to hand over the World Series rings to the Dodgers because they were beaten by cheating teams.

Starting point is 00:23:23 I don't know. I don't I'm a Dodger fan. I don't I mean, I joke that we're back to back World Series champions. Right, right. The Red Sox beat us very clearly. The Astros one, I'm a little more salty about knowing that maybe they cheated. But I don't know if it's I don't know if I want to have the ring that's like, oh, here, you know, I'm sorry they cheated.

Starting point is 00:23:41 Oh, the pity ring? Yeah. Yeah. One of those pity rings. Yeah. I mean, this is the first time I'm hearing about any of this situation, but I wouldn't want some sorry-ass pity ring. No.

Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah. Have you ever seen, when you played volleyball, you were a very competitive volleyball player. Were there ever any cheating scandals that you had heard about? How do you cheat in volleyball? Just someone overage? No. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:24:03 Fill the ball with pasta. Not that I know of. Every time Blair serves, the person returning breaks their wrist. Fucking heavy ball she serves. No, like, you know, it's like tennis cheating, like the calls probably. Oh, right, right, right. Where you're greasing the wheels with the grass? Yeah, yeah. There's nothing I know of, really.

Starting point is 00:24:21 Yeah, of course I am just. Of course I am implicated in a widespread volleyball cheating scandal. Of course I am an absolute pillar of really. Yeah, of course I am just... Of course I am implicated in a widespread volleyball cheating scandal. Of course I am an absolute pillar of integrity so I haven't even been privy to any cheating scandals. Fantastic. And that's why we have you on.

Starting point is 00:24:34 Thank you. Specifically just for this narrow segment about this. Would they even... How sad would be buying that like fucking sweatshirt you know a few years later like World Series champions.

Starting point is 00:24:45 Like 2017 World Series champs. It's just embarrassing. I think they should just take it away from the Astros. I don't think the Red Sox were as blatant with it, but fuck Boston, take it away from them as well. And then just no one should have it. Just no one gets it.

Starting point is 00:24:58 They should make sweatshirts and then they say World Series champs and then underneath in parentheses is by proxy, by circumstance. By circumstance. Just a big asterisk. Not because they won the best of seven series. Right, right. But it still says what they lost by, you know?

Starting point is 00:25:17 And then it says Dodgers lose four games to three. World Series champions. Because our city council. All because our city council did something that has no legal authority. But look, I like the sentiment. What's funny is that Paul Koretz, one of the councilmen says it's significant because we have a culture of cheating in this country. It's time to say, no, this is not the new norm. However, this is like Paul Koretz.

Starting point is 00:25:45 If when I think about him, he loves the developers in this city and he typically gets plenty of money from developers who like hey man i'm uh mr caruso i want to build a 20-story tower that no one can afford unless you're like a foreign investor or like you have a high six-figure income and he's like yeah great great great great great let's do that sounds like he has correct syndrome oh i'm sorry what what what i love it no i love it. No, I love it. No. I'm not a doctor. I never said I was a doctor. I'm just saying it sounds like it.

Starting point is 00:26:10 Sounds like it. Yeah. They just built this big, stupid fucking bridge between Los Feliz and Atwater, like over the LA River biking trail, which maybe there needs to be a bridge, maybe there doesn't, but they spent millions of dollars on it, and you can't even get to the bridge. Yeah. Because there's like all these homeless encampments there, which is the perfect symbol of just misspending where it's like, so you have the people, bikers can't even use that bridge

Starting point is 00:26:37 because you haven't taken care of this more important issue. It's really sad. But then they're like, well, hey, we can all get behind the Dodgers getting shot yeah yeah yeah and i mean honestly for people like how about the dodgers how about those doyers yeah not the 60 000 unhoused people we have in this city and i think again for paul caretz like for you know being a mr i hate cheating in this country you know be a leader because the part of the city he represents is where all the nimby people are who are like, I don't want to help out with anything. Public transportation, no. Additional housing for people, no.

Starting point is 00:27:11 Anyway, and a little bit of inside baseball, as it were, for the city of Los Angeles. Uh-oh. Gotta go. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

Starting point is 00:27:49 And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

Starting point is 00:28:19 Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

Starting point is 00:29:01 Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

Starting point is 00:29:31 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

Starting point is 00:29:44 I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Starting point is 00:30:04 Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila, caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.

Starting point is 00:30:46 I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.

Starting point is 00:31:15 Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And let's check in with the impeachment trial. Girl, I'm talking about impeaching this creep. Now, I say trial with a question because this does not look anything like a trial. It's a cover up, as the Democrats would say. And McConnell's fuckery, it's what we thought it would be. At first,

Starting point is 00:31:47 I, look, I'll be honest, I thought maybe, maybe he was gonna show his human side, and then I forgot. No. He is just a,

Starting point is 00:31:55 he's a wicked man. It's a terrapin. Hey, hey, don't bring the University of Maryland into this. Sorry, I'm so sorry, I forgot. Terp.

Starting point is 00:32:01 Nah. Shout out to Steve Francis. Shout out to College Park. Yeah. Shout out to Juan Dixon. Hey. Absolutely. Thank you no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I know. I'm just saying things we all say in volleyball. Would you say that to a volleyball? She jumped out of the gym. Oh, yeah. Absolute boosties on that bitch.

Starting point is 00:32:29 Oh, wow. Yo, that is some 90s talk. Wow. Mad boosties. I had a t-shirt that said that. Yeah. Yeah. That was like an and one slogan.

Starting point is 00:32:39 Yeah. It was like that faceless character. Yeah. That nightmare. That character that was like, I have no face, but my crossover is lit. So yeah, back to this. How the fuck did we get to the faceless and one guy? I don't even know.

Starting point is 00:32:53 I don't know. Steve Francis, Terrapin. I blame you. Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle. See, I blame you. Of course. I take credit for it. I've never heard the word Terrapin in my life.

Starting point is 00:33:02 Oh, you're welcome. Add that to your vocab English life. Oh, you're welcome. Add that to your vocab English major. Yeah, you're right. So, you know, on Tuesday night was a very long-winded exercise in futility. I mean, it was, you know, we saw what McConnell, he offered the rules that was basically like, yeah, you know what? We don't need any of the evidence that came from the house investigations allowed into this trial. And also like, let's just do everything in two days, even if it takes 12 hours and we do it till 1 a.m. Then he kind of went back, allowed more time, allowed the evidence from the House investigation

Starting point is 00:33:31 to enter. But the Democrats wanted to offer amendments because they also want to subpoena like the documents that are the most incriminating, like messages between the Pentagon or the OMB, Mick Mulvaney, testimony from people. They wanted to subpoena many people. So throughout the night, they're saying, this is an amendment we'd like to offer. This is why we need it. And then a long-winded vote and it dragged on and on. And I think, look, I don't think most people thought any Republicans are going to be like, yeah, you know what? We'll vote right now to have John Bolton testify. But it was an interesting gesture for them to drag it out

Starting point is 00:34:07 into like one in the morning DC time because every time they made their case, like we need these documents in this trial because it's evidence of the case we're trying to prove. So can we have that? And they're like, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, this is a witness who we'd like to testify at this trial. And again, they said no. And I think, I mean, I don't know how

Starting point is 00:34:35 much it worked on the people on the right side of the chamber. But it was disheartening in the end because you're like, okay, so it's going to be very narrow. And the president's defense is just to fucking lie. So we'll see what happens. But very little faith at this moment. And I just think even in like the most bare bones terms, right, if we're looking at what a trial is, and the Democrats are saying this in the Senate yesterday, even if you've just watched TV and you only know the judicial legal system from TV, most people will be able to say, yeah, there's like two sides and

Starting point is 00:35:17 a judge and then there's like witnesses and like evidence. But they're pointing to the fact that this is a departure from any kind of trial or legal proceeding like it this is absolutely nothing it's just a perversion of a more perverted system i guess i don't know what to say um i saw a graphic of the difference between the rules for this one versus the clinton impeachment and i think just the fact that they're even just fucking shortening it in a way where it's like three days, I believe, for opening arguments, which still like logically seems like so goddamn long. And then I think it's also for the Clinton one, it was five days. So even for something like opening arguments, they've even shortened that.

Starting point is 00:36:02 Yeah, because at first they were really just trying to do it to be like, yeah, the important bits will be said when everyone's sleeping and no one cares or they're watching Hannity. And, you know, it's still – there are also these rumors going around that there could be a possible witness swap between Democrats and Republicans. It's like if we get Bolton, you get Hunter Biden. Right. If we get the testimony of Mike Pompeo, you get Joe Biden kind of thing,

Starting point is 00:36:26 which I think is ridiculous because neither Hunter or Joe Biden have anything to do with the president's actions in withholding aid from Ukraine. I think if the Democrats did that, it would be an absolute mistake because that just gives them a talking point to parade up Biden and his son. I can only imagine what White House, the kinds of questions that would come out of the White House counsel. So, and again, also when we look at some of the documents that Lev Parnas gave to the Intel committee last week, it showed very clearly that Trump was not pursuing corruption in Ukraine. He was pursuing an announcement for an investigation. So it's moot.

Starting point is 00:37:07 Like there's no reason for them to speak because this has nothing to do with them. And also it's possible that they could vote on a motion to dismiss the case entirely. But I don't think that will happen this week. What a bummer. I think this is a very good trial. Thank you so much. Legal expert Blair Saki, I mean just from your 10,000-foot view and just from the weight of history behind it, what's your take? My take is incredibly good trial.

Starting point is 00:37:32 I think a lot is being done. And I'm feeling really good about it. I'm feeling like all sides are really acting in incredible ways. And I'm confident that the right decision is going to be made. Wow. Vague. And you actually echoed the words exactly of what Donald Trump said in Davos.

Starting point is 00:37:53 I don't know if you knew this. I'm a mouthpiece for Don. Yeah, I know. Oh, congratulations. I applied for that and they fucking rejected me again. You're the easiest mouthpiece to listen to of all of them.

Starting point is 00:38:04 No, this is what Donald Trump said. So, OK, he's looking at charges of obstruction of Congress because he's like, yeah, the House requested documents to say, hi, we believe this is an impeachable offense. We need the documents to verify this. But again, because you're innocent, you don't give the documents away because they'll just show you to be guilty. I think that's how it works. So this is him. you don't give the documents away because they'll just show you to be guilty. I think that's how it works. Yeah, that makes sense. This is him.

Starting point is 00:38:29 So he's in Davos right now in Switzerland. Wasn't that a Game of Thrones place? Yeah, Davos Seaworth is a character. That's what it was. Actually. Thank you. Actually. Did he have all his fingers? Yes.

Starting point is 00:38:38 Didn't he? What do you mean? Am I getting that wrong? Was Davos the guy, the Onion Knight or whatever? Donald Trump is in an Onion Knight? Oh, his fingers came off? you mean am i getting that wrong was davos the guy the onion knight or whatever donald trump is in an onion what is his oh his fingers came off i thought his i thought he never had them how'd he hold the sword did he ever hold a sword with the other hand he didn't lose all his fingers i don't know look you're ruining my great joke what am i some game of thrones expert Game of Thrones expert? He did. Thank you. This just in, verified from producer DJ Daniel and DJ.

Starting point is 00:39:07 Oh, yep. Yes, he did have his fingers chopped off. That'll force you to go inward, huh? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for that digital confirmation. Oh my God. Now, he's in Davos.

Starting point is 00:39:23 No jokes, please. That's good environment for a comedy podcast. No jokes. No jokes. And this is much different than shifty shift told us so we're doing very well i got to watch enough i thought our team did a very good job but honestly we have all the material they don't have the material okay hold on so again this is what he's saying we're're doing well, but here's the thing. We got all the evidence. They ain't got none of it.

Starting point is 00:40:08 So we'll be good. And it's just, it's great to see him underline his obstruction like that by just screaming it out loud. And then at Davos, he was also asked a very pertinent question about climate change because Greta Thunberg is also there. And she's saying, hi, the world is still ending and we've basically done fuck all to really take this problem on. And again, Trump had to take, just to smear climate change science outright, he said, fear and doubt. Why am I even reading it like this? I better do it the right way. Fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope

Starting point is 00:40:47 and joy and optimism in action. But to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. Fear and doubt were a huge part of Melania's wedding vows, by the way. Yeah, oh my God. They were called fear and doubt.

Starting point is 00:41:03 I think, wasn't it the theme? I think, yes. It was the theme, yeah. What are you going for, like, boho chic? Uh, no, fear and doubt. Fear and doubt, mostly. The wedding. Trump went to Davo just to be like, oh, Greta Thunberg, fuck that bitch. Basically, I mean. That's what I came here to say. He's like, my best opponents are

Starting point is 00:41:19 children. Yeah, fear and doubt. I love that. He's like, oh yeah, we shouldn't talk about that. We should just, like, ignore and not. I love that. He's like, oh, yeah, we shouldn't talk about that. We should just ignore and not examine impending doom for the planet. I mean, what a leader. And we're lucky to have him, honestly. Yeah, thank God. Oh, God, we're not.

Starting point is 00:41:41 Sorry, I keep hiccuping because I'm so emotional. Yeah, that happens. And he also, sorry, I keep hiccuping because I'm so emotional. Yeah, that happens. He also repeated one of his favorite lies that the U.S. has the cleanest air in the world, which is just verifiably false. Like his administration has made the air quality worse. And according to like real studies, the U.S. is in 10th place when it comes to clean air quality. I'm surprised he didn't just say the best air. Like that would just be, just say the best air. Like that would just be more up his head.

Starting point is 00:42:06 We have the best air. I feel like it's only a few months time before we're all mandated to drive Hummers. Oh, wow. I can't wait. It's like mandatory car trade-in for a Hummer. He's like, you need to have a more fossil fuel usage car. He's like, or you get that sick exhaust on there

Starting point is 00:42:24 to blow black clouds to rolling coal, baby. Just get a Prius blowing black clouds out. It's like, what the fuck is this? If you drive a Prius, you must have coal

Starting point is 00:42:34 be coming out of it. Boom. Flat. They'll have to convert your car into a small coal-powered power plant, basically. Okay, now,

Starting point is 00:42:43 I just want to get into MBS because it's messy bitch season let's just talk a little bit about jeff bezos do you remember when he had all those leaked texts and photos come out a while back when he said like i love you a live girl to laura sanchez who at the time was his mistress um so you know at the time everyone was like, how the fuck did the National Enquirer get this stuff? People were like, we think it's her brother. Her own fucking brother sold her out. Other people were like, did they pay someone to hack this shit?

Starting point is 00:43:14 More interesting. Yeah. Yeah. But Jeff Bezos, you know, he hired his own, you know, when you're the richest man on earth, he might also have some resources to get to the bottom of things. And at first he was like, you know, a lot of fingers are pointed at the Saudis. And then some UN investigators are calling for an even like larger investigation because a report says that we believe that it was actually attributable to the WhatsApp account used by the crown prince himself,

Starting point is 00:43:44 Mohammed bin Salman um and they're like okay how the fuck did this like how did this happen apparently they met at a party somewhere um and exchanged numbers like two fucking like super villains christ but i like that they kept it like to whatsapp they're still like yo i'm not gonna pay those like foreign texting fees come on i may be rich but let's keep it real. Let's use WhatsApp. You'd still be frugal. So they exchanged numbers then. And at a certain point, there was a, quote, a single photograph is texted to Mr. Bezos from the Crown Prince's WhatsApp account, along with a sardonic caption.

Starting point is 00:44:19 It is an image of a woman resembling the woman with whom Bezos is having an affair. Months before the Bezos affair was known publicly. And they said his phone appeared to be compromised on the day that an encrypted video file was sent from the prince's WhatsApp account to Bezos' in May of 2018. So essentially, when he opened this video file, quote, a massive and unauthorized exfiltration of data from Bezos' phone began continuing and escalating for months. Jesus. So for all you people out there, I think the moral of this story is don't open video files that Mohammed bin Salman texts you in your WhatsApp thread, no matter how funny the meme could be. Thank God it came on this podcast today. You're about to open it? Yeah, oh my God.

Starting point is 00:45:05 Now I know. I mean, when you look at this, right, the whole motivation for this is Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, and when Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by the Crown Prince, the Washington Post, they were aggressively covering this as they would because this is unheard of. Well, I mean, not unheard of. State-sanctioned murder is pretty common.

Starting point is 00:45:25 It's been around for a while. Yeah, this whole thing of like, whoa, they lured him into an embassy and then his body was dissembled and taken on. Like, okay, just really disturbing shit. So the theory goes is that by having this kind of blackmailable material on Bezos, that maybe that could influence the coverage that the Washington Post is doing. But no. But it also really does not look good for AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer, because they're like, are you like.

Starting point is 00:45:56 That gorgeous publication. That gorgeous publication. Yeah. It's not looking good for them. No. Especially now. I mean, like the implications of this. That Pulitzer are winning. Because they were saying like, no, we got this from the brother of Laura Sanchez, I think.

Starting point is 00:46:12 And now it's like, hold on, are you? Because they also did a really nice puff piece on Mohammed bin Salman, like a whole glossy magazine that was like, is this new crown prince the new crown Mohammed Bay Salman? Who knows? The woke crown prince the new crown Mohammed Bay Salman? Who knows? The woke crown prince. So more on that as it comes out. In the National Enquirer. Yeah, we'll see what they have to say. So far, they have no comment.

Starting point is 00:46:37 But we'll see what happens. And then just to check in on the polls real quick, because right now, obviously, Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders being senators, they have to be in D.C. for this entire impeachment process. So they have to put their campaigns on hold or rather they can't be out there glad handing like they would want to be considering the Iowa caucuses are coming up. But when you just sort of look at the polls, there is one poll taken at the from CNN recently. CNN, the people who were like, should Bernie and Elizabeth Warren keep fighting? Yes, please.

Starting point is 00:47:12 They found in their own poll that of all the Democrats being pulled, 27 percent of Democrats who are voting or Democrat leaning independents prefer Bernie Sanders to Joe Biden, who only got 24%. So now, according to this poll, Bernie is the frontrunner. But there's other polls that say Biden's still ahead. I think it all depends. I think if you look at it, though, Bernie has been slowly building momentum since the end of the year. And then there was another poll that came out putting a lot of the Democratic candidates head- head with Trump in a hypothetical race, seeing who would win. And that poll found that Bernie would get 52 percent of voters to Trump's 43 percent. So a nine point lead in second place was Joe Biden with 50 percent to Trump's 43. That's seven. Then fucking Mike Bloomberg,

Starting point is 00:48:05 fuck that dude, is just behind them with a seven-point lead, 49% to 42%. Why are you counting money right now? Oh, sorry, sorry. It seems like every time you mention his name, you start counting money.

Starting point is 00:48:16 Well, I just, I gotta make sure, I gotta check the bag. Yeah, this is since the ad that you guys ran yesterday. Fuck it, I'm out! No, and then Elizabeth Warren, she leads by three points, 48 to 45. So it's interesting to see how much that full spending campaign gets you, you know?

Starting point is 00:48:40 7% lead, hypothetically. And even Tom Steyer, little tom steyer got about he eked out two points better uh so have you seen any of those tom steyer ads if constantly if you stream any kind of video content it's the same fucking one where it's like you guys are the climate solution and he says the word climate there's like nine fucking times i'm like bro i get it please he's also like oddly kind of not in the commercial. No. You hear him, but it's all like you don't really see him in the commercial.

Starting point is 00:49:10 I think because he doesn't want to look like what he is. Because he's a six. Which is like a white billionaire guy who's like, I'm going to solve your problems. Yeah. But hey, that strategy seems to be working for the other billionaire, Mike Bloomberg. So you never know. And then lastly, I just want to check in with Hillary Clinton because she, you know, she caused some headlines when she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Starting point is 00:49:31 She's like, nobody likes Bernie. He fucking stinks. His shirts are all like yellow on the collar and the armpits. If you really look, he's nasty. Like that fool doesn't even go here. And it's sent off a whole, whole trend on Twitter of being like, we like Bernie Sanders or other people being like,

Starting point is 00:49:48 why did she need to say this? This doesn't make sense. Or pulling up her record going after people. Why did she say that? Because she has a new documentary coming out and that immediately- That sounds like- I think it's dual purpose, right?

Starting point is 00:49:59 In one, you go after Bernie Sanders. That's going to get you in the headlines because that's a time-honored battle from 2016 that people love to rehash um and also yeah you know it gets you gets you in the news and also it helps I think when you look at what a lot of like corporate media is doing they would they would love for Bernie to not be the nominee so she gets to put her little two cents in there is that true though do you think you think in this, like, is there any truth to that, do you think? 100%. Because if you think about the people

Starting point is 00:50:29 who are running these companies, they are the kinds of people who would get hit hardest by kind of tax reforms or other kinds of reforms and like being like, hey, guess what? You need to pay people a living wage now. And they're like,

Starting point is 00:50:40 but that means I make less money as a fucking CEO. But like in the government though. In the government, do I believe what? That they don't like Bernie. I think that's up to the people. I mean, sure. I think if you look at the amount of legislators and politicians that are in power now based off of being, you know, funded by corporations and large donations. Yeah, he threatens to upend that system.

Starting point is 00:51:03 Now, that system is deeply entrenched. I don't think it's going to happen overnight. But, yeah, someone like that and even what Elizabeth Warren is saying, those are people who would be like, we're singing a different tune and we would like to change the tune. Right, right. I always want to ask these questions, by the way, but I usually just, like, pretend like I know what I'm talking about. But I never know anything that you guys are talking about. So thank you for asking these because I didn't know these. No, that's what I mean. if you really think about it right uh when you have congress people

Starting point is 00:51:29 go to the hill a lot of the times they're basically like nascars right they they should wear their fucking sponsors right it's like well i'm for i get a lot of money for for-profit education the health care industry wall street so when it comes to this would be sick they're tied to so many people they have so many agreements and they're beholden to those people because they're they have a leash they can yank on when they say don't vote on this tax package are you kidding me you're coming after my bonuses yeah yeah yeah remember who's paying for this and they go oh you're right you're right you're right so i'll vote against it there's like no politician that isn't i this is a wild way to say this but like when i first watched the first season of house of cards when i was like young i could not believe when you were young yeah when i was young and um and

Starting point is 00:52:16 you just just seeing like a show where and like there's since been a bunch of shows but seeing like how each politician is just trying to get to the next step then it's almost like their whole every anything that they started out with is completely gone like immediately yeah yeah it seemed like that's why they call it hollywood for ugly people it's like use use whoever you want to get as high as you can fuck whatever like fuck your talent whatever it's just like get get there. Or even if you start out with a pure heart, there's almost no way. You have to

Starting point is 00:52:50 make so many deals every which way just to move anywhere. Look at Carrot Top. Yeah, exactly. Incredible example. Pertinent. He made a deal with a manufacturer to make all those props. Exactly. Yeah, he has a whole fucking warehouse. Did you know that?

Starting point is 00:53:18 Yeah. Sorry, Jack Bauer. But anyway, so Hillary Clinton came out and said she was just like this is her tweet because I think most people were like sit down Hillary not right now we're trying to look at November and beat this dude she said I thought everyone wanted my authentic unvarnished views but to be serious the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Trump and as I always have I will do whatever I can to support our nominee is she getting sued by Tulsi Gabbard for $50 million? Did I read that?

Starting point is 00:53:48 Yeah, for defamation. Yeah. Holy shit. What'd she say? Because she said she's a Russian asset. See you in court. Do you fucking call me a Russian asset behind my back? I'm fucking suing you.

Starting point is 00:54:06 For how much? Like $100? No. $50 million. That's how much my name's worth. She's like, but that's my whole Epstein fund. No, it's $50 million. Oh, boy.

All right, we're going to take a quick break or maybe a long break. I don't know. Depends on how we feel. And we'll be right back. Stretch their strings. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

Starting point is 00:54:48 These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Starting point is 00:58:48 Paraformis. Absolutely. Is that what it's called? Holy shit. Yeah. Damn. All right, pro athlete. This is a very hamstring-centric episode.

Starting point is 00:58:55 Of course. Why wouldn't it be? We'll get to quad exercises in a bit. We have time. It's more of a wheelhouse. But I just, there was some shit on Twitter that was trending that said like r.i.p mr peanut uh and i was like okay fine all right that's it and next up uh wait why is the news cycle always so doom and legumes oh get him out oh my god oh my god blair's crying blood never in my life.

Starting point is 00:59:29 So people are like, what the fuck is going on? Apparently they have a Super Bowl commercial out that seals the fate of the beloved one percenter who wears a top hat in Monocle. Yeah, why is he rich, by the way? Does he own the company? I don't know. There's definitely, there's probably a very dark backstory to that. God, the fucking nepotism. So this commercial is a sequel to the Joker? Maybe.

Starting point is 00:59:48 Yeah. Yeah. Okay, good. So this is a statement from the Planter's brand manager. It says, it's with heavy hearts that we confirm Mr. Peanut has passed away at 104 years old. He will be remembered as the legume who always brought people together for nutty adventures and a good time.

Starting point is 01:00:09 We encourage fans to tune in to Mr. Peanut's funeral during the third quarter of the Super Bowl to celebrate his life. Oh, right. Let's just capitalize on people's deaths. What a classy company. So you're more upset that they are going to, even in death,

Starting point is 01:00:27 they have no respect for Mr. Pinon. No, I'm saying that their whole message, anti-capitalist message, is inherently capitalist. So they're fucking shady bitches. Do you care?

Starting point is 01:00:38 It's so weird. I don't know. I'm trying to think of a world. Exploitation. Thank you. Of a fictional cartoon I mean it's happening all the time Look around us

Starting point is 01:00:47 You know what I mean? Look around us Look around Wake up Open your eyes Uh oh Y'all on the same page That's Blair and Blake for you

Starting point is 01:00:55 Welcome back to Blair and Blake How do you make this Like worth looking at? I don't know anybody who is like Oh oh, that's kind of an interesting idea. Although I feel like most Super Bowl ads, you're like, oh, okay. It's sobbing mother draped over that casket. Okay. Just the fucking tears coming out of that nut.

Starting point is 01:01:18 And then the son. It probably has a lot of kids, right? Something like that. Oh, and this one, he is married to a legume also, not a human woman. Oh, then I'm out. I don't know. I'm just thinking'm just thinking i'm just thinking out loud hey we're spitballing here so if he's married to a human well i i would imagine mr peanut looks like a guy who's been fucking divorced if he's 104 years old i expect uh like an anna nicole smith type yes wife around him yes yes i don't like these trends, these marketing trends that happen. Talk into your mic, Blair.

Starting point is 01:01:46 Oh. I don't like these marketing trends that happen. They get so corny, then it's just ubiquitous in like one second. Like when everyone was doing that Lizzo thing, 100%. Like literally every company would like unrolled their Lizzo lyric campaign. Right, right, right. And you're like, shut up. Nothing makes me want to buy your shit less.

Starting point is 01:02:10 During the fourth quarter, they cremate Chester the Cheetah. Oh my God. Can you imagine? It's just like a funeral fire. But the Monopoly man's behind it all. It's four flaming hot Cheetos. Oh boy. Hello.

Starting point is 01:02:23 Oh boy. I just tried flaming hot cheetos for the first time oh what were you just saying i've never had them wait well wait hold on what the fuck is going on here you have never had flaming hot cheetos i can't come here and be honest and forthright where can i you can you can but i still have my right to be shocked and in awe over this revelation my goodness now no judgment but how did you grow up in california and you never had flaming hot I still have my right to be shocked and in awe over this revelation. My goodness. Now, no judgment, but how did you grow up in California and you never had Flaming Hot Cheetos? You know, I've always been a really hard, regular Cheeto gal.

Starting point is 01:02:52 I fucking ride hard for the rich. And I got to tell you, even though I like my shit real spicy, it was not what I was hoping for when I tried it. What did you hope for? Was it too spicy? No, it just, I think the ones I had, the reason, the disparity that we're coming upon right now is. Please use as academic language as possible in describing this. I really love this. Please address this disparity immediately. Expeditiously.

Starting point is 01:03:20 I think what happened was I accidentally descended upon a Flamin' Hot Cheeto puff, and the consistency without the just incredible crunch took me completely out of it. And while I could recognize that there was value in the flavor, I wasn't even in the same galaxy as a fucking Cheeto. Wow. That's too much air. Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. wasn't even in the same galaxy as a fucking Cheeto. Wow. That's too much air. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:45 Oh my God. Oh my God. It tastes like I was, you know, having some sort of just weak ass, weak, weak, just derivative of a Cheeto.

Starting point is 01:03:56 What the fuck are they doing over there? Also Blake, you need to, do you like spicy food? Uh, yeah, but not that much. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:04:04 It's a kind of spicy though. That's weird. Like, like that, that I can handle. Even people with boring pots,. It's kind of spicy, though, that's weird. That I can handle. Even people with boring pots, because it's so hot, you can't stop eating it. It's one of the things, you'll keep eating it because the pause lets the burn. Just to throw a substance on top of the burn, like a blanket. I do like the slight pain in my flavor. No pain, no gain. Right.

Starting point is 01:04:23 You know what I mean? That's true. God damn. I also want to bring up this interesting story. There was further confusion or fur con, as it is known,

Starting point is 01:04:32 took place in San Jose for furries, you know, people who have their... No, no, no. This is a good story. Okay. Don't slander the furry crew.

Starting point is 01:04:39 All right. Okay. Stop right there. I do have a habit of doing that. I know. I know. We know how close-minded you are when it comes to people's fursonas But I need you to open your eyes

Starting point is 01:04:49 That's real talk This is infuriating That's Oh god This is gunning off the rails What do you have a flaming hot cheeto I need a seatbelt Get this girl a seatbelt.

Starting point is 01:05:05 Get her a seatbelt. So what happened was, they basically, during this convention, a group of furries intervened on behalf of somebody who was being assaulted. So Robbie Ryans, who was 26, he was working as a DJ at the convention, as one does.

Starting point is 01:05:22 And he said he and a friend went outside for quick smoke. I don't know what kind of smoke. And they said, out of nowhere, we heard a woman's screams coming from inside and saw the passenger throwing full fists at whoever was driving. We got up and ran towards the car. My friend pulled open the door and we both held onto the attacker. The girl driver was yelling for him to get out and he started trying to fight us off. Four other people who were attending the convention,

Starting point is 01:05:46 fellow furries, joined in and helped grab the man, drag him out of the car, and restrain him until police arrived. Okay. I mean, that guy will never commit a crime again. Yes, there's a video of it, where they don't have the head part on, but from the neck down,

Starting point is 01:06:00 they're in full regalia. It's just interesting. Where is this, San Diego? No, San Jose. It has to be in San Diego. Even though we know it was in San Jose, I still feel like it was in San Diego. Wait, why San Diego?

Starting point is 01:06:15 San Diego's a fucking mess. Because every weird convention is in San Diego. It's just an inherent truth. Name one other than Comic-Con. Just like action figures. Action figures. Just like inherent truth. Name one other than Comic-Con. Just like action figures. Action figures. Just like, you know, action figures. You're going to action figure con?

Starting point is 01:06:31 And like Herbalife and shit. Oh, Herbalife. And probably, you know, all those weird pyramid ones. Did you get involved with Herbalife? The makeup places. No, even though you would think that I would be highly susceptible. No, not that I believe it. I believe that you know people who tried to get you into it,

Starting point is 01:06:46 and you may have been like, let me just help my friend out once. That's totally true. You're right. Yeah, you have a good intuition, Miles. Have you been to an Herbalife function ever? No, no, I would never go as far to attend. One last thing. I just want to get into this.

Starting point is 01:07:04 Aunt Becky, there's a new development okay and i have i'm so obsessed with this entire you love this yeah because i went to ucla so anytime i can just laugh at sc and like the lengths people go like to get in there i have to it just warms my heart uh especially when people are spending half a million dollars to get your kids in who don't give a fuck ucla is the better school right like i'm not straight up thank you dj daniel thank you there's my answer i mean one of the top ucs obviously uh i mean look i can't no shade the usc film school is lit uh and their music school they have you can get a decent education i mean look i can't slander that okay it's more just out

Starting point is 01:07:40 of ego okay now yeah uh with laurie and massimo as they get closer and closer to facing their legal fates uh we thought last time they were like we don't need to take a guilty plea because we can prove that we didn't know the five hundred thousand dollars was a bribe we just thought it's a fee you pay a guy to get your daughters into colleges with when they can't get in the normal way that's like what trump does he's like like, I committed a crime, but it wasn't like a crime. It wasn't a crime. Okay, what law was it?

Starting point is 01:08:09 Tell me. I'm stupid. How was I supposed to know I'm stupid? Being a good father is a crime now? Okay, what's next? No, so that seemed to be the sort of logic path they were following. And the prosecutors have constantly been saying,

Starting point is 01:08:21 hey, take a plea deal because we can prove like all of this shit in court. But they are very they've been sticking to their guns. Now, there is a new tactic that is going that is making the rounds that the prosecution has basically informed Lori that they will use her daughters as star witnesses in trying to get to in securing a conviction. Basically saying they would have

Starting point is 01:08:48 you know, have to put the kids on the stand and be like, can you explain everything? If they don't do a plea deal. The prosecution is saying they'll subpoena the daughters and there's no way around it. So you could be forced to testify against your parents

Starting point is 01:09:04 unlike husband and wife. Yeah. And that's just my question. Yeah. That's just a crazy. I mean, that's a real thing, I believe. But we always see that in TV. It's like and we always know.

Starting point is 01:09:13 And we got married really fast. A wife cannot testify against her husband. But this one, I believe they could probably take the fifth and delay their testimony to get like a full on grand jury summons or subpoena. Oh my god, if my parents did something, and I don't think I could, I'm too Italian. Yeah, you respect the omerta, as they say. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:34 What would you do? Okay, put yourself on, look, you're smart enough and talented enough to get into UCLA, so congrats. Thank you, honey. Would you do anything like, no. I'd rat my parents out immediately. You would? The fucking shit they pulled with me.

Starting point is 01:09:48 Wow. Is that true? Putting me in coach. I'm fucking right back there. I rode a bus when I was eight. Yeah, god damn it. No, I love my parents so much. Yeah, I mean, I think-

Starting point is 01:10:00 If they did something like that, I didn't know. Like, I don't even know. I'd be interesting to see what they did something like that, I didn't know. I don't even know. It'd be interesting to see what they did. I wonder if Olivia Jade, who's the one who had a YouTube channel, who the lawyer's like, you need to fully delete this channel. It's full of weird bullshit. You've been needed to delete this. You need to delete your channel of lighting Louis Vuittons on fire in your pool.

Starting point is 01:10:21 No, I made that up. Oh, that sounded pretty tight. Yeah. I don't know like some people think maybe like if there was she could turn it into some kind of lucrative opportunity that maybe she would but i don't i don't know i can't imagine any especially if like your parents did this to get you into college you'd be like yeah i want them to go to jail right because those kids what are they gonna do who's gonna take care of them when their parents are in jail for 15 minutes yeah i don't want my i just i i know i have a like different take on this but it's like the same thing as like when someone murders someone like i feel this is

Starting point is 01:10:56 the exact same thing as a murder yes yeah yeah i know i draw a lot of incredible parallels um but i feel sorry that that person had such a bad life or whatever happened to cause them to be a murderer you know obviously it's so fucked up these parents did that but it's still like my parents are like you're not i'm my parents my friends like but you're not allowed to feel sorry for them well i think it's obviously fine to be sympathetic, empathetic to anyone's human experience. I think in this one, it's just more funny because it's such an overt case of like privilege and wealth gone wild. No, of course. No, it's crazy.

Starting point is 01:11:35 The stakes are low for everybody here. But how long do you, how long, like, would it be like a Paris Hilton goes to jail, like barely? How long would their jail sentence be? Or would it be like some real shit? Felicity Huffman went for, I think, 12 days. Yeah, that's nothing. And like you saw her. Her uniform was pressed and she was not looking stressed.

Starting point is 01:11:53 So would Aunt Becky go for the same? Well, no. They've been saying if you don't take a plea deal, you're going – we're going to fucking try and throw the book at you. Yeah. And again, I don't think – this is what we've talked about too because there was another woman who uh was a black woman who uh lied about where she lived just to get her child in a better public school and she's going to prison for years oh my god we need like to get that lady out right now right and i think it's not really about like i'm

Starting point is 01:12:20 like yo they need to go to jail but i think they do need to have some kind of punishment that makes sense to them that will actually bring about some kind of change of perception about where their place is in the world like being like okay you know what you're gonna do you are now going to get i mean not that they would ever have laws like this is like but uh ten percent of your income every year is going to go to this college fund for people or you have to like and becky right now without even of this, should pay to get that other lady out of jail. Yeah. Boom. Welcome to Judge Blair.

Starting point is 01:12:50 Yeah. I'm not kidding. That should be something. That's what we should put money to. I think it just, again, shows you that there are at least three different legal systems depending on class, race or uh any other marker that we use to separate ourselves from each other uh but especially in something like this it's it's very apparent how imbalanced things are oh it's crazy just because you wanted your kid to pose on a rowing machine yeah to get into sc i mean fight on yeah right on you know well blake what Right on. You know? Well, Blake. What?

Starting point is 01:13:26 Thanks for nothing. Oh, come on. Oh, you're right. You're right. Come on. Thank you so much for coming on today. I love being here. Thank you for having me. This was booked months in advance.

So a one Roy Wood Jr. tweeted, it's a photo of that goofy looking guy with the gun at the militia rally thing. And he wrote a comedy about a militia that shows up to what they think is a pro gun rally. But it's actually an ambush draft. The army blocks off streets, herds everyone into C-130s and flies them off to war.

And you can get tickets for that in my Instagram bio or at the lyric hyperion website nice what's the show like um well it's this show based on when i wrote um owen wilson a letter after a suicide attempt in 2007 and then i remembered that later on and so now um comedians i have them write letters to celebrities they love or loved growing up, and they're funny letters. And then I, with the help of my private investigator, Lucian Wickles, I conduct interviews on stage with them that are sort of in a Between Two Ferns style.

Starting point is 01:15:59 What a cool idea. That sounds awesome. Yeah, it's really fun and wild to hear a different side of comedians. Yeah. Did you ever hear back from Owen Wilson? No, but he does know about the show now, which is such a crazy LA thing. Because Demi Moore came to the show two months in a row. Wow.
