With two babies, Jack O'Brien. That is courtesy of Walter Chestnut. We didn't rehearse that. That just came naturally. It was beautiful. We did choreograph it. Yes, the dance was tight. The dance was beautiful.

I am thrilled to be joined by today's co-host, one of the funniest human beings speaking into a microphone anywhere on this planet. She is Caitlin Gill. That's me, that's me, that's me. A.K.A. Skateland Gill, the roller skating grandma you want to talk to. Caitlin. Yo. I don't know why I used that.

That felt unnatural. Hi. Hi. Yo. I don't know why I used that. That felt unnatural. Hi. Hi. Yo. Hey. Thank you so much for joining us and filling in for Miles. We really appreciate it. What a deep pleasure.

His shoes are warm and comfortable. I can never hope to fill them completely. Although my feet are very large, so I actually assume they might be too. And we are thrilled to have in our third seat one of the great daily zeitgeist guests a wonderful stand-up comedian he is mr brody reed hey guys what's up it's me brody aka wookipedia brown aka baby magnets how do they work why is it so much funnier with baby in front? I don't know, but it is.

How's it going, guys? That's good. Oh, my goodness. Those were both such wonderful and efficient AKAs. We do what we can. All right, before we get into who you are, Brody, we like to give our guests a preview of what we're going to be talking about today. We're going to talk about the fact that people want to fuck Mr. and Mrs. Incredible.

Who doesn't? Not many people, apparently, don't want to fuck them. We're going to talk about any fictional characters that were important to our development as sexual beings. We're going to talk about Melania Trump's jacket a little bit more. We're going to talk about Southwest Key, which is not an all-inclusive resort where your parents go to try to fix things. It is the nonprofit organization that has been in the news recently for housing the children that the government is tearing apart from their family. We're going to talk about a Supreme Court decision that makes it harder for the cops to track you. We're going to talk about the man who has raised $85 million to remake Last Jedi.

He has raised $85 million in IOUs. That is as close to legal tender as that comes. We're going to talk about the Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom as a clumsy Trump metaphor. And we're going to do a quick check in with the World Cup. Quick check. Quick check. And, of course, we got Bloid Watch. Because the Bloids, and specifically King of all Bloids, David Pecker, are all in the news today.

But first up, Brody, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay, cool. So I was like, Space Force is a thing now. Yeah. So I was just thinking of like, what are reasons that we would need a Space Force? Because they keep saying that the reason that we need is to assert American dominance in space. I'm like, from who? From why?

The Martians, bro. Exactly. Are we afraid Martians are going to attack? So the last thing in my search history was Mars attacks. Mars attacks. But for real this time? Question mark. No, it was the 1996 classic film, Mars Attacks,

one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid. I rewatched it. Based completely on a whim. How's it hold up? Oh, great. Just as good as you think it does. They go ack and their brains explode when you play classic music. It's a great movie.

I never saw that. Oh, what? I know. That is my fault. That is not a statement about Mars Attacks. But the premise of it seemed to be that it was like very campy, sort of referencing 50s Martian movies. Is that kind of right?

Yes, exactly. That's exactly right. Basically, the Last Jedi remake that these people want to make is probably what Mars Attacks is. But accidentally. What is something you think is overrated? Something I think is overrated? Last Jedi remake that these people want to make is probably what Mars attacks. But accidentally. What is something you think is overrated? Something I think is overrated is,

I got these Hue lights. You guys know what this is? Nope. No. It's just like, they're made by Philips. They're like these lights that connect to an app and they change colors in your rooms and stuff like that okay yes i've had them for a while and um they're like fine but like my app has to update so much it's such a bizarre feeling to in the middle of the night like want to like turn your own lights on and you can't

because your app is updating that's so weird it's so stupid there's so many menus and just like updates in my life. I don't, I'm just going to go back to regular light bulbs, I think. It's not worth changing my lights

pink and blue. Right. That stuff. How do regular light bulbs work? I've not heard of those. You turn them on. I only use LED operated.

Yeah, for sure. There's a filament inside. Right. So what, and the lights themselves, they're like things that stick to the wall, that sort of thing? They plug into just regular sockets. Okay, cool. But I'm not even completely sure how, but that is with Wi-Fi connected to like a different little router that you have to buy just for the lights.

Are they like Christmas lights? They're not like Christmas lights. They're just like bulbs that change colors when you want them to. And I think there's other different kinds. My friend has like an orb that just like changes color. It's just like, okay, that's all right. I don't know why I became all QVC there. I'm like, now tell me more about this thing you're saying sucks.

It's a limited offer for five different installments of 99. I don't need to recommend other podcasts. Just listen to more episodes from the past of Daily Zeitgeist. Of course. If you run out, I believe it's 99% Invisible that did an episode about the light bulb and how as an invention, the way it changed everything after it is pretty crazy because night was just night. You didn't do anything at night.

Yeah. And then suddenly you could light up the night. And the advances in technology from medicine and our weird computers and flight and all this shit that happened because we could light stuff up was pretty significant. The light bulb is pretty important as a human invention. And at this point, we've reduced it to like, I don't know, attach it to your phone and you can push buttons and light and it turns into a different palette. This invention changed the world and made our knowledge be so much larger and enabled us to do so many incredible things.

And so quickly have we reduced ourselves to like make it pink by touching a button. Yeah, totally. We should have higher goals. It's so strange. Like even as you say that, it's like, yeah, we used to have like total darkness at night. Yes. I've lived in Los Angeles my entire life. I don't think I've ever experienced complete darkness.

night yes I've lived in Los Angeles my entire life I don't think I've ever experienced complete darkness yeah I've I've never seen more than a dozen stars in the sky at one at one point in time have you ever like gone out to the country because it's a thing that I don't notice until I'm like out in the country and I'm like I literally could have a tree two inches in front of my nose and I wouldn't know at all and then if it's cloudy and then if it's not cloudy it's like oh the whole fucking landscape is lit up by all these lights that are in the sky that I just never get to see yeah the only time that I've ever seen a full night sky is when I was uh road tripping through Utah and I was road tripping we'll do it yeah and like people told me uh when I was road tripping that I had to go through Utah it was like so beautiful and then like I was on a schedule when I was road tripping that I had to go through Utah. It was like so beautiful. And then like I was on a schedule when I was road tripping. So I drove through the entire state at night in

pitch black and I didn't see any of it. And every once in a while I just see like some huge rock. I don't know where to be like, whoa, beautiful stars. That's huge. And then you're like, yeah, I know what you guys mean. Those rocks, they're big and black and wow. They come out of nowhere. There is still a light bulb that is working in California at a fire department. They've had to move it. They kept it on and they put it back up. That thing is amazing.

It was installed in 1901 and has been turned off only a handful of times. Oh, wow. And it's still going, baby. I'm so glad you mentioned that because not only have we made light more useless, but we make it last less long. Right, exactly. We have light bulbs from 100 years ago that still stay on

and we don't make them anymore because you don't have to replace them. Yeah, exactly. Oh, we're dumb. We're so dumb, sorry. I wonder how many- I got there fast today. Sometimes it takes me longer to get to everybody's-

We're gonna get misanthropic. Complete hopelessness. I'm dumb, we're all dumb.anthropic complete hopelessness I'm dumb we're all dumb everything's dumb Brody what is something you think is underrated something I think

is underrated on a very personal level is there's this video that I keep going back to every once in a while I'm a big Star Trek fan and there's this one video I found

I used to be a researcher used to be in my old job and I found a lot of fun videos there is a Star Trek Voyager Frasier crossover

that happened? that's that totally happened that's a real thing it totally happened it's a real thing it was like a bit

for like some kind of convention or some kind of like upfront or something but they have like Kate Mulgrew and like a bunch of other extras and

I think the doctor like all dressed in in Star Wars wear. And then they have... Star Trek wear? Star Trek wear. Sorry, I make that mistake all the time. And people get so mad at me. A few people just threw their phones.

Pick up your phone, everything's fine. And it's just the cast of Star Trek Voyager, definitely in the backseat of this bit, trying not to roll their eyes as the cast of Frasier makes a bunch of sex jokes about Star Trek. Why?

Because that's what Frasier is. It's really great. I will tweet it. Watch it. It's totally 100% worth it. Okay. Thank you. Wonderful.

That will be in our footnotes. Yes. And finally, Brody, what's a myth? What's something people think is true that you know to be false? I have something that I think that my roommates think to be true that I know is false. This is a barb straight at my roommates. Some tea just spilled all over the table. That's really our target demographic for this show is your roommates.

Thank you. A lot of people, a lot of dumb people, like to think that if your soap dispenser is running out and you put water in it, it'll just magically create more soap. It does not. It only creates gross, lukewarm water that I have to pour on my hand. It's a bad surprise for me. Just to let you know, the main thing that you do with soap is add water to it.

So don't preemptively add water to the soap when it's already out. First of all, when the soap is down to, I would say, 5% of the original. I got a lot. I'm really angry about that. I'm so sorry I'm inflicting this on you guys. But that's just water. That's just water. Anyway, that's all I have to say about that.

I mean, I wouldn't drink it, but i also wouldn't use it to wash my hands it is no longer just water no but it is no longer hand soap it is no longer useful to anyone i assume you have a pump dispenser exactly so the pump dispenser is prepared to dispense a gel it has been calibrated for gel pressure and what i know from being a poor person is that when you add water, it comes flying out at you in a jet stream. You get it on your shirt. It's gross. Yes.

Yeah, it gets a nice little extra laundry day, and your hands are still dirty. It's a bad surprise. I'm going to make my roommates listen to this episode. And I'm not confident that there's no germs being introduced during the putting the water in and screwing it back on. Oh, that's a whole other level of fear check. Oh, you can't even start. I can't do it.

It feels like your hands are hurting. It came from another. It wasn't clean to start with. If you were worried about that, then yeah, nothing was ever clean. You know what lives on your eyelashes? Anyway, what's next? Oh, God.

The things that live on your eyelashes look like a 1950s sci-fi movie. It is fucking crazy. People look it up or don't. But the stuff that you wake up with on your eyes is their poop. They're just pooping on your eyelashes. We are host to colonies of life that we'll discuss.

I mean, that's a hopeful way to think about it. I don't know these illegal immigrants nothing. They all over my eyelashes i didn't say you could cut there's a border what is an eyelash without a border it's just it's just an eye not a lash anymore now is it them bugs gotta stay where they came from my pillowcase go back to your shitty country bugs sorry off time all right uh, guys, let's get into the stories of the day. Let's get into it. The story of the day, I think.

Let's also get into The Incredibles, you know what I'm saying? Am I right? Deep inside of them. Am I right? Let's get into that husky voice. Let's see if we even have to take off their costumes to fuck, you know what I mean? Maybe you just like fuck right through their costumes. costumes to fuck you know what i mean like maybe you're just like fuck right i mean the original review that brought this up talked about how it was basically their costumes are essentially a

second skin because of how tight they are so uh this started with a or it seemed to start with a review by the new yorkers anthony lane uh you know he is the new york's main film critic, and he's also their main Disney... Perf. Yeah, Disney perf. No, Disney historian. He has written some really interesting articles on the history of Disney. That's the same thing. Disney perf, Disney historian.

Why else are you studying that? But I've read a lot of his reviews, and he's never let this sort of thing... And we can all agree that we want to fuck the Incredibles type of a vibe. Oh, she's thick. Snack. Did you just call her a snack? He's a snack. So I'll just read the

offending paragraph. Read it in a sexy voice. Let's give a little musical background maybe. Take your seat at any early evening screening of Incredibles 2 in the coming days. Listen carefully and you may just hear a shifty sound as of parents squirming awkwardly beside their raptured offspring. And why, kids? Because mommy just leaned over to daddy and whispered, is it just me?

Or does Mrs. Incredible kind of look like Anastasia in Fifty Shades of Grey? You know, the girl in the red room with the whips and all? And Daddy just rested his cooling soda firmly in his lap. And like Mr. Incredible, tried very hard to think of algebra. As for how Daddy will react later on, during the scene in which Helen and the husky-voiced Evelyn unwind

and simply talk woman to woman, I hate to think, but watch out for flying popcorn. And that is the end. It ends with him imagining, asking children to imagine their father getting an erection so powerful and spontaneous that it just bursts through the bottom of his popcorn and sends the popcorn flying with his hands like on

the side of the popcorn so the kids are just like what the hell just happened um i'll watch what he's watching there it is there it is. So this seemed like maybe just a one-off weird thing Anthony Lame was going through, but then a writer at the Huffington Post was like, oh, I have a good friend, the electronic musician Baths, who

has, since the first Incredibles come out, talked about how he has desperately wanted Mr. Incredible to fuck him, quote, up and down the goddamn block since he was a young man and first realizing he was gay. And it was just an interesting, that article is actually really touching and sweet where he's just talking about how, you know, seeing some of these characters in sexual situations on the Internet was actually a good alternative to pornography where everything's just Upfront and people you know having sex and it's all completely removed from any sort of human emotion

Yeah, he needed the sort of Drawings and the people just being in normal human contexts to actually make it seem like oh this is something that connects to me. And so I don't know. I think it's an interesting conversation. I love that we're living in a time where animated porn is becoming like, not mainstream, but it's like getting acceptance or something. Yeah.

It's kind of bursting through the surface. I mean, if we're going to be honest, The Incredibles did great things for Rule 34. I mean, if we're going to be honest, The Incredibles did great things for Rule 34. I mean, let's be honest. Ms. Incredible, very sexy character. She can get it. She's got four hips. She's stretching all up and down that movie.

Yes. I mean, that's its own fetish. I mean, she is a last girl. I feel like they made the Stretch Armstrong character a man because they knew, they thought about making it a woman. They were like, no, that's too much. What we would unlock would be bad for the culture. All I have to say is I have two different folders where I put my naughty bookmarks.

One called things and one called stuff. And yeah. And I won't say anything else. Stuff is where all the weird things are. There you go. I think it's not that weird. I mean porn is an exploration of fantasy. It is a visualization of something

that only lives in our head and then we get to see it in real life. It is not the same as what we actually want to do. And especially like when you look at what's trending in porn and how some of it is like eyebrow raising or taboo. Yeah. Like that's the fun of it being a fantasy.

Yeah. You do not want to do you fuck your stepbrother in real life. This is the second time on the Daily Zeitgeist in which i have referenced uh step family porn yeah but it amuses me so much because what we're all like jilling and jacking off to is bad acting like that's the part of it that we're really into is this cohort like fake relationship and the animated stuff just is that um it seems even more natural to me to explore that in a way that is art because it is just a fantasy. Everything you're having about that sexual experience is an illusion. And if you want to keep it an illusion, if you don't actually want to watch, you know.

Two coked out junkies or whatever. Right. Whatever thing you'd prefer to see animated in real life, but you do want to see it so that you can enjoy it and then go for it. Yeah. Makes a lot of sense. Plus there's a lot of talented artists out there these days. There really are. I'm just trying to for it. Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Plus there's a lot of talented artists out there these days. There really are. I'm just trying to support my... No, seriously, in this gig economy of ours,

there's so many people who are just great artists. I mean, have you been on Tumblr recently? Right. There's some great stuff. There really is. But yeah, I think just in general, as sexual beings, the modern human being is,

like Freud created this whole model of human sexuality that was like you imprint your sexual desire on your parent of like your mother or father. Yeah, the hot one. Yeah, whichever is hotter. Or maybe you have a roller skating grandma that you kind of like to fuck. But I wonder how much of that was just that those were the only adult-formed humans that you got to see.

And now that we exist in a world where the first adult or human forms that we see are cartoons or characters in PG movies. or characters in PG movies. I just feel like that, and now presumably porn, kids who grow up now, I wonder how much different that is, how much what our ideal sexual being. Not different at all, I would assume. Right. I mean, have you guys seen, remember that girl from the Goofy movie? That was my first crush for sure.

Yeah, the girl from the Goofy movie? That was my first crush for sure. Yeah, the girl from the Goofy movie. I watched the Top Gun Beach volleyball scene with deeply confusing feelings for a long time. Because I now date a woman, and I think what I was understanding is homosexual heat and power. But I didn't know it didn't translate itself for many years. You were just, I guess many lesbians are into volleyball? Yeah, volleyball and strapped dudes. I mean, honestly, none of it. It's all a straight line. And I also appreciate boys.

Look, all of it came into a very complicated and delicious do. Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to remember cartoons. I think I love- That you want to fuck? Yeah, like probably Roger and Jessica Rabbit. Oh, yeah.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Lady I Didn't Understand My Feelings About. Yeah, lots of that. For a long time, I felt a deep resentment at traditionally attractive women, human or drawn. Because my own human form is unconventionally attractive. And I felt a bitterness that has faded from my being, much to my appreciation. But yeah, for a long time, even pretty cartoons or whatever would piss me off. Pretty cartoons would piss me off more.

Yeah, fuck you, Shira. Yeah, I didn't. You don't have a real personality. You're just drawn that way. Yeah. Nobody can look like that. You don't even look like that. You're drawn. How can I look like you?

You're a cartoon. You're not even real. I don't have earrings to make me famous, Jim. Or I guess a super star. He was already famous. My best friend growing up had a very real and very long term crush on Misty from Pokemon. Yeah. That'll happen.

It was a short shorts for sure. Oh, okay. Yeah. And the suspenders. Now I'm thinking about it. Yeah. The girl chipmunk from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Really?

I had feelings for. Yeah. That's fair. As a child. I forgot how. She can nibble on my forgot how He-Man is the most homoerotic just universe

everything I loved apparently when I was five you know those you can draw on a piece of paper mail it in and they send you

back a dinner plate yeah I did one of those at like five and it's just He-Man like flexing and then my scrawl above that just says He-Man

on the top of the plate so obviously a deep crush He-Man on the top of the plate. So obviously a deep crush. He-Man is a naked ripped dude in fur underwear and there is a character in that universe named Fisto who is just a naked ripped dude in I think leather underwear with a giant like metal fist. Hell yeah. I'm a gay man. We figured it out.

I'm a gay man in love with a woman. This took a long time to get there, 37 years. But I have arrived. Welcome to my church. There it is. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you.

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

120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.

There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in the prints. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team?

I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, everyone. It's me, Katie Couric. Eric, if you follow me on social media, you know I love to cook or at least try, especially alongside some of my favorite chefs and foodies like Benny Blanco, Jake Cohen, Lighty Hoyt, Alison Roman, and of course, Ina Garten and Martha Stewart.

So I started a free newsletter called Good Taste that comes out every Thursday, and it's serving up recipes that will make your mouth water. and it's serving up recipes that will make your mouth water. Think a candied bacon Bloody Mary, tacos with cabbage slaw, curry cauliflower with almonds and mint, and cherry slab pie with vanilla ice cream to top it all off. I mean, yum, I'm getting hungry. But if you're not sold yet, we also have kitchen tips like a foolproof way to grill the perfect burger

and must-have products like the best cast iron skillet to feel like a chef in your own kitchen. All you need to do is sign up at katiecouric.com slash goodtaste. That's K-A-T-I-E-C-O-U-R-I-C dot com slash goodtaste. I promise your taste buds will be happy you did. And we're back. Hi, hi. And it's impossible to keep up with the latest on what the president is pushing for with regards to border security, as he calls it. I think he is now telling the Republicans in Congress not to waste their time on a plan that he proposed in the first place, as far as I can tell. So I think it's probably more valuable just to kind of be backward facing, look at what has happened that we know for sure has happened.

And the big story of yesterday was Melania Trump's bizarre jacket. Yeah. It was, so we talked about it briefly, mentioned it briefly yesterday. It was a Zara jacket that said, I really don't care, do you? Question mark. I have to know where she got this jacket. How does she even like in the like venn diagram of like people that she knows and things that she does who is bringing a zara item into her life a zara item with a spray painted

back that says i really don't care do you like i wouldn't it's that's a i mean when i saw that i honestly interpreted as like this is this is i hope you see this Donald, like she's walking in front of him, she's like making a point. Yeah, but I, I is the operative word. Like she's speaking for herself there. I don't, if it's a message addressed to her husband, she has his fucking number, send a text. I don't, like there are fashion blunders

or whatever word you're gonna use, choices, that she could have made that would have distracted from the topic of this atrocity of putting children in concentration camps to make them slaves uh because you're a slave if your body earns money and that's what those little bodies are doing in a tiny cell uh she could have like i don't know worn a midriff and then the news would have been like weird choice yeah and you And our response as collectively worried people with a sense of humanity would have been like, don't be distracted by her midriff.

That's stupid to talk about. She wore a jacket to Texas. And that jacket looked like she fucking painted I don't care on it. And when she left, again, maybe that was the only jacket she had. Fine. Turn it inside out.

Give it to a child instead of wear it. How is that possible? Wear nothing. Literally wear nothing instead of that jacket. Like, if you wanted to say, like, oh, it's just the only coat she had, it doesn't help that when she left the facility, the coat she decided to leave the children with was good luck. Good luck.

Yeah, good luck. Good luck, kiddo. Good luck. leave the children with was good luck good luck yeah good luck good luck kiddo good luck if that was the only phrase i knew in the language of the country i was visiting kids in a camp in i would say nothing instead and you can't say that she's not fashion conscious she's a model one of her parents was like a fashion designer yeah and every choice she makes she does communicate with fashion. She uses fashion as an art very successfully. She conveys respect.

She conveys gravitas. She conveys power. She conveys authority with her looks. She's obviously chosen to use stark images. Yeah, we've seen her winter formal empire, like Game of Thrones. This is a woman with an eye for design. If she's buying a $39 clothing item, it's to make a statement. I get that she

may be going through a very apathetic phase for the entirety of her marriage like a teenager or something. But you still have to represent this country even though you don't understand it. Yeah, just womp womp to that. Don't care. you don't understand it yeah just womp womp to that don't care

yeah um i don't care is the theme you have mr womp womp lundesky right uh whose name i don't care to say right uh which is just a terrifying that's terrifying that clip is like legitimately looks like satire that would scare me only it it's real, so it scares me even more. You have Melanie with a jacket that says literally, I don't care. You don't have your white nationalist face of government stepping into Mexican restaurants in two separate incidents on accident. This is coordinated. This is on purpose. This is racist as fuck.

This is wild. I am a first generation immigrant from scotland my grandparents brought three white babies into this country and had one more it was real easy to get in nobody had a real problem with us being here nobody ever asked me where i'm from right you can't this is racism this is slavery absolutely the ceo of the company that we'll talk about today southwest key makes 1..5 million a year. Up from half of that 10 years ago when this guy was still doing this job, this system has been in place for a long time. We were ready for these little tiny slaves.

We had an infrastructure to house them. We do not have an infrastructure to return them. That is a choice. We made one plan and not the other. return them. That is a choice. We made one plan and not the other. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the executive order that he just signed that is supposedly supposed to reconnect these families back into Cato's together, it changes crossing the border from a civic breaking the law to a criminal one. So it's just going to lead to these families absolutely being separated, like without a doubt. Well, yes, it is doing subtle changes such as debatably whether or not it's making a civil problem a criminal problem for those individuals.

But it's forcing us into the position where we're saying like, oh, great, we've solved the problem. We're not separating families and putting parents in one detention center and children in another. We're just clumping them all up in one place. one detention center and children in another. We're just clumping them all up in one place. So we are supposed to accept as a solution jailing all these people against their human rights as long as they're in the same facility, which also doesn't mean together.

Yeah. And these chain-linked walls. Right. You can call the business that administers these facilities a non-profit individuals profit from this business this is what slavery looks like it's an institution to store bodies

and profit from them I feel like this government is going to start eventually they're going to institute gas chambers and call them scent rooms right, aromatherapy yeah so the company is called Southwest Key gas chambers and call them like scent rooms or something. Right. Right. Aromatherapy. Yeah. So the company is called Southwest Key.

They have received over the past decade $1.5 billion in government contracts. $1.5 billion to store human bodies. Yes. And when they were evaluated over the past years, they have racked up a whopping 245 health violations, 78 of which were considered high risk. You know, the categories include a child who was clearly in pain, who was not given medical care promptly. Another child with a wrist fracture was not seen by a doctor until three days later. Another child felt ill, was not given any medical treatment. One employee quit after being told he had to enforce a rule that siblings weren't allowed to hug. A report in the 90s talks about how one Southwest Key employee flipped the beds of kids who

didn't immediately respond to him and discouraged the kids from contacting lawyers and refused their right to confidential phone calls. Yeah, and it didn't give them mandatory field trips to the outside world. And yes, the guy who runs the company, who is the CEO of this quote nonprofit, makes $1.5 million a year now, which he has tripled from 2013. So, yeah, it's a business. When Trump was elected president, the private prison industry, like two of the biggest companies, stocks shot up 30% the next day because, you know, it's a huge business to store human beings. Yeah, I don't know. It's funny you shouldn't.

It's a podcast. We're supposed to be able to talk about this news, and this news will leave you pretty speechless. It's difficult to look at, and this company has been doing it for a long time. The way these problems have escalated and accelerated since the Trump presidency is terrifying. But to suggest that we haven't been up to this and that this is un-American is totally false. This is so deeply American. It's incredibly hard to tweet about Kanye you know like kanye and stuff i know concentration camps going on yeah it's nuts yeah and it's not okay and it's happening it's

actually happening it's real oh man yes it's hard um you know there's questions about whether or not the image that moved everyone who saw it of a crying girl at the border is really a child being torn away from her parent like what's the exact story right and those are valid questions to ask yeah is any circumstance where a child is screaming next to law enforcement officers at our border in terror okay what explanation for that photo is like no that's fine even the footage from the facilities that are like that they're letting out they're letting out. That they're letting out are still so bad. Yeah.

It's just like, this is what you thought was good enough to show? I don't know. Show them where they have walls and blankets. Well, sir, our walls are actually cages and our blankets are emergency tinfoil. Well, you know. Potato cage. As they say yeah and a lot of the

imagery that is coming out is not that dissimilar from imagery that happened during the Obama administration and conservatives are pointing to that and being like well see and yeah it's been a problem for a long time it's been bad

nobody was saying it's not bad it's been a problem for a long time. It's been bad. Nobody was saying it's not bad. It's just cruel to take that thing that was really bad and be like, and now you experience this by yourself without access to your parents. And you don't, not only do you not have immediate access to your parents, you don't know if or when you will ever be able to see your parents again. Yeah. And that should be the parents' choice. Right. That's right. Oh, man.

Oh, that felt good. Yeah, how many of the parents down there do you think are like... There's one. Yeah, there's at least one who's like, oh, damn. Maybe not even a set of parents, but one parent is like, you know, all right.

Can you set me back alone? Look, I traveled with two babies a couple weeks ago. It's not easy. No, it isn't easy. By the end of that, I would have, you know, let the TSA do an extra check on them while I went to the bathroom in peace. If the TSA offered to babysit at just the right time, you might say yes. Or don't.

Don't do it. I would have tipped them off that he said something about not packing his own bags or something. I think he brought too much liquid. Right. I mean, maybe I'm oversimplifying. But this nation was founded by religious weirdos too weird to be weird in a religiously weird place, who came over here, decided it was theirs, killed everyone that was already here, and then proceeded to take another country and then make that country this country.

And we're really mad. That is our history. That's who we are. We built this nation on free labor. We stole it from someone else. We killed everybody who was already here. We are always moving up from there. That's what we have to come up from.

Yeah. It was bad in Obama's era. It was bad in Bush's. It was bad in Washington's. It's always been bad. We started this bad. We're evil. When are we going to look at ourselves and be like,

we just created a space force. We are the galactic empire. We're real. That's so true. There was a Trump speech last night where they were chanting space force, space force. That's so true. There was a Trump speech last night where they were chanting, space, force, space, force. I said, so stupid. Is that why they added a couple more billion dollars to the military budget recently? Is that what that was for?

For space. Yeah. And it may sound like, well, gee, Caitlin, you must hate the stars and stripes. Gosh, don't you just hate this country? And I'm stealing this excellent paraphrase from someone out there who, if you saw this too, then actually quote the person who said it. But this is about a debate between whether or not you see America as a set of ideals or America as an exclusive club. I want to say it was, I don't know. I'll get it right.

I'll retweet it. So look for me on Twitter and I'll retweet it. But it was really good. And that's exactly what this is. Just so the listeners know, I have an American flag fidget spinner in my hand right now. So don't ever say I'm not a patriot. But I'm totally fine with it in this instance. I love so deeply the

set of ideals that this country is, and I know it's the reality of its history and how far we have to go to get from that, and we are sinking back down into the dark of who we are. There's so much light in who we could be, and that's what people are drawn to, and then there's this darkness. We're like an dark of who we are. There's so much light in who we could be. And that's what people are drawn to.

And then there's this darkness. We're like an abusive boyfriend who hasn't even done the worst of it yet. Yeah, we're going to get there. It's American. This is American. This is America. This is who we are. It's who we've been.

And if we want to be different, we have to look at it hard and we have to make different decisions. And the way we make decisions. Someone should write a song about that. Right? Yeah, this is America. I bet it'd have a really great video. and we have to make different decisions. Someone should write a song about that. Right? Yeah, this America. I bet it'd have a really great video. I would watch it like three times a day.

The Supreme Court did something that is moving in the right direction, it would appear. The Supreme Court has made it- Has made cops illegal. Made cops. They have made cops less able to just use your cell phone to track you, which is basically, I mean, we now live in a society and, you know, this should have been obvious to me since I had a mobile phone, but we live in a society where cops can track you at all times if they want to because our phones do that. Like we ask them to do that. And the Supreme Court was just like, oh, yeah, that's kind of dystopian. We shouldn't be allowed to do that anymore.

So now you need a warrant to access the data that, you know. A warrant and a password. That's right. A thumbprint. Right. To say like, okay, their cell phone signal is bouncing off a tower like in this part of the city or whatever. So, you know, that's moving in the right direction.

And there are exceptions where the police can say, oh, this person is an imminent danger to other people or something like that, which probably won't be too hard for them to make that argument. For sure. Mr. Police, you could have saved them. I texted you all the clues.

I mean, it's only a matter of time until someone updates that movie. It's an interesting privacy pickle. Because in theory, like police can follow your car, right? Your car has so many distinguishing features. Maybe you put a bumper sticker on your Chevy Nova so everybody knows that that's your Chevy Nova. I love Porgs. Sue me.

It's just like, where does that length up where a cop can just observe you getting into that car and then follow you in that car there's some principle where your cell phone is sort of that car and like i want bad people to get caught when they do bad shit and also that's super dystopian to just be able to follow us around all the time and i wish i could trust police or civic institutions to use that information responsibly. And I don't. Yeah, exactly. I really don't. Especially not right now when we're going all Handmaid's Tale before the fertility crisis.

Like, I feel like not the right time. Yeah. And fertility has gone way down in the past couple of decades. I did see some weird report that the headline was jarring. And it was like USA Today like more white people dying than being born as if it was terrifying.

That's an acute relief. I am actively trying to kill my bloodline. I'm doing my part. Yeah, let's get this going. I mean I also saw a headline today that most people love dogs more than they love other people and i'm like all right i gotta tell you that yeah if we were honestly separating puppies from their mothers

at the border oh my god yeah i can't that also white people are having less babies because their economy is so bad let's like let's focus on the real reasons let's just not scare all white people no everyone's having less babies it's a lot easier to just not look at let's no come on muppets are having less babies these days let's horizontally hate each other don't look up yeah all right we're gonna take another quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.

I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?

Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.

We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

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. of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian,

now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away.

I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back, and it's time to check in with Star Wars fans. They've already checked in with us, because Brody earlier said Star Wars instead of Star Trek. And ruined my childhood! Star Wars instead of Star Trek. And ruined my childhood!

And certain Star Wars fans were so upset about the movie The Last Jedi. It really tickles me. I know, I love it so much. I love it so much. They've decided they can do better. And a guy is trying to raise, I think, $200 million to remake The Last Jedi. So cute.

Rian Johnson, the actual director of The Last Jedi, just tweeted, please, please, please, please actually make this happen. Please, please, please. But yeah, so the guy is claiming he's not a men's rights activist. And to prove this, he says he wanted Kelly Marie Tran to, quote, have a better role. But his idea of a better role is to make her more like a male movie character. He's like, she should have been a badass pilot who fought Poe and given him a run for his money instead of the character who I wasn't able to make do whatever I wanted to make her do. Yeah. So still some toxic masculinity and his denial of being a men's rights activist.

My favorite thing about people who don't like The Last Jedi, never really give you a good, like a concrete reason why. good like a concrete reason why other than like the casino scene was sort of boring and i'm just like yeah well yeah the prequels were all the worst so like the prequels were just nothing but casino scenes and like way worse just admit you don't like women just admit that you just want to see an all pork movie i I get it. Okay. Yes. So he has created a Kickstarter, actually not a Kickstarter, a website, remake the last Jedi.com.

And he is accepting, he is accepting donations and $25. You get a ticket to the movie. And I saved star Wars t-shirt for a hundred dollars. You can be an extra to the movie. And I saved Star Wars t-shirt. For $100, you can be an extra in the movie. So you can pay $100. Can you imagine? $100 gets you in to be an extra.

Just picture that day on set. In a Star Wars movie? In an official? That every walking bottle of body spray just converges on set at once. All them it's just a hundred bucks yeah oh man to be a fly on the wall yeah if every extra in the star wars universe was just a man just a white guy with a beard right uh my favorite thing about this is that these people have no idea how intellectual property works at all or how movies are. Let me do it. Just like give me the exact amount of money that you professionals made to make this movie

with a Disney and backing from LucasArts and all these kind of things. Just like the best people who make movies and like sound and like CG and we can do all that. I got a MacBook. Yeah. and like CG and we can do all that. I got a MacBook. But yeah. For $100, he is offering to fly anyone in the world to the set of the movie to be an extra in the movie.

I don't think he's thinking this through quite all the way. But holy shit, he has raised over $85 million according to the website. Now, one important thing to note is that the only thing he's requiring is for you to email him how much you hypothetically would spend cool too so he's taking ious right as yeah and you don't have to give him any information about yourself or a credit card or anything like that. You're just pledging to help cover the budget for the remake. Why is he framing this as a remake? Why wouldn't he just try and make a different movie?

This is definitely a common criticism. There's a fan edit that's like an hour long that just took out everything everybody hates, and it's essentially just all the ladies. And Luke. I won won't spoiler but it takes out the luke a lot of luke okay that's weird it makes luke not die that's stupid yeah yeah the whole thing's really stupid yeah it's nerds yeah it's the saddest kind of nerds just get over it i'm not sure why this hurts so much for some people. Me neither. But it is obviously a deep and agitating pain that they feel

and I wish for them that that was healed because The Last Jedi didn't do anything to you. Me too. It didn't even. It's a movie you don't control it. Disney controls it. They're gonna make a hell of a lot more Star Wars movies so you'll have a lot more to complain about. Yeah, enjoy that.

I don't know what you want. One of my least favorite things, one of my formerly favorite movie reviewer YouTubes, this is called Red Letter Media, and they did a lot of Star Wars breakdowns that were really interesting. Harry Potter. Yeah, Harry Potter 2.

And then when The Force Awakens came out a couple years ago, they did one on that eventually. And then when The Force Awakens came out a couple years ago, they did one on that eventually. And then they spent probably like 10 minutes complaining about there was too much diversity in Star Wars now. In space. In space. There's not enough white people in space.

Half the characters are aliens. Why was this ever an issue? Like, I don't understand at all. Oh shit, I didn't even know that. I did really used to enjoy those reviews yeah i had to unsubscribe and it really does suck because i i did like them a lot up until that point my in-universe explanation in my head was always just like oh yeah white people came from alderaan and then got blown up right yeah there Yeah. There you go. That is my favorite

explanation for where the fuck white people came from. And that always has worked for me. They really should just put that in the next movie.

They really should. It would solve everything. Sorry guys. It's like oh yeah there's an Asian planet there's a black planet that'd be cool.

Yeah that was loosely implied by the Star Wars universe. Another movie that's going to be triggering the right wing uh snowflakes only triggers they care about her on their ak-47 am i right you cry out of their dead clits what sorry that other caitlin makes me really mad there's that conservative commentator's last name i forget but her name is caitlin with a k so she's wrong from the beginning. Right. But she's the one who did the college graduation picture

with her big old gun. Oh, is that her? Guns and stuff, yeah. Who like was on the beach eating Chick-fil-A and was like, oh. Fuck your pride. They say no Chick-fil-A during pride. And drinking lip tears. Being pride. Lip tears. Does this trigger you? Triggered

lips. It's so boring. And it's defiling my name. There are good Caitlins out there. She's not every Caitlin. My younger sister is a Caitlin, who also misspells it. That's okay. Not with a K. My girlfriend, this is not news, my girlfriend approached me last night, apropos of nothing, and just said, I think you spell Caitlyn right.

I think it is the most natural derivative of Catherine. And then just like the K ones just doesn't feel right. And then she walked off like, thank you. She's a keeper. Thanks, babe. She's a keeper. She'd been mulling that in the back of her mind for five years. A minute later, like, sorry, I was just thinking about that.

Love you, babe. So Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom comes out this weekend. Such a good title. Like, I know I'm going to love it. This movie's going to be trash. And I love that self-aware, they just called it Jurassic. Just put the is in. Jurassic World is a Fallen Kingdom.

Right. Instead, they've used a colon. And it turns out they built Jurassic Park on top of an active volcano. It's about to erupt. I think they're going full B-movie. I think they're going just like full, not Jerry Seinfeld's B-movie. I think they're going full,

like we're just in a universe where things explode for no reason. Which I'm fine with. Yeah, it's a blockbuster dumb action thing now. Yeah, yeah. So they have to get those dinos off that volcano. And then all sorts of chicanery ensues. And apparently they just get into a really muddy Trump allegory where there are multiple Trump stand-ins with bad blonde wigs in the movie.

To be fair, everything is like a Trump allegory. Everything that was written around two years ago and when people didn't expect Trump to actually be president is coming out now. That's true. We're getting a lot of allegories like that. I'm just like, what if the world was like this? It's just like, oh no, it's actually worse that's so true yeah this was a timeline of writing a script and making a movie you can't move fast enough to make satire yeah yeah this was written at a time when it was just like god could you imagine we all were looking at the new york times page that was like 99% Hill's gonna win.

But so there's even a part where one of the bad guys with a bad blonde wig calls the young female hero who is a paleo veterinarian, he calls her a nasty woman. Yeah. More evidence this was written in 2016 yeah exactly getting the nail right on the head there guys um yeah so i don't know it's uh also the main

bad dinosaur is uh bought by quote our russian friends like russians buy the bad dinosaur and the bad dinosaur is introduced with like a bunch of like blaring white lights behind it like Trump being introduced at the RNC so funny yeah the dinosaur is going down an elevator announcing its presidential nomination

really stands like upright with its knees locked for some reason dinosaur mouth agape but a kid mowing a lawn. Right. Yeah. I don't know what they're doing. It looks like a hot mess that I will excitedly watch.

Oh, yeah, me too. I don't think there's anything you could do with that series to rekindle the joy and excitement of watching Jurassic Park for the first time because it was groundbreaking in a way that you don't get to break ground again. Its story wasn't groundbreaking. Its story was always stupid and derivative. It's a Spielberg picture.

It's people looking wide-eyed into a camera at something you can't see. He's a brilliant director, unless you watch his movies twice. But there's nothing else to wring out of the wonder. So it's got to be spectacle. It's going to be big and gross and stupid. And I'm going to see it, and I know it's going to be terrible. I think Jurassic Park holds up upon multiple viewings, and I have seen Jaws 150 times. I've watched both Jurassic Park and Jaws. In the last week, I watched Jaws last night.

I love them. Really? Isn't that so good? Spielberg's just a genius at leaving a plot hole that a truck could drive through that you simply don't see the first time around uh he's great at leaving things in plain sight because you're not gonna notice them great reference to his first movie tv movie duel oh well done yeah uh reaching back so uh Jeff Goldblum makes an appearance here and says too many red lines have been crossed and our home has, in fundamental ways,

been polluted by avarice and political megalomania. And our writer, Jay McDuff, was like, wait, what? What political megalomania? That doesn't reference anything that happened in the movie. That's just a quote directly about America. It's just Jeff Goldblum. They just put the camera on him on set and decided to use the footage.

He's playing piano in that camera as well. His beard is looking lush and fabulous. Talk about fictional characters everybody wants to fuck. Yes, yes. Dr. Ian Malcolm. Yes. Yeah, so not to say blockbuster movies shouldn't shit all over Trump, but let's do it better than this, maybe.

I mean, the fun part of the plot of Jurassic Park the first time was this wonder and wanting to reconnect with something that brought you wonder and then that having unintended consequences. Those are themes still worth exploring. You don't have to go straight to, if you know your movie's gonna be released

two years after you write it, maybe don't go for the direct topical reference. You still have this sort of larger theme to draw on. Like, not all of your impulses are good. That you can be really tempted by something that looks like it might be fun, but then it is Donald Trump. You see what I mean?

Like, you have it right there. It was right there in your original message. Yeah, dinosaurs. We like dinosaurs. That's it. Keep it there. And there's also a controversy, right, about one of the characters

is supposed to be a lesbian character, and then they cut a line or something the main character uh the oh she's the main paleo uh the new laura dern yeah the new laura dern uh actually more the new sam neill uh is a young woman who i think was a lesbian in the original, like they shot the shooting script, and then they cut that quote for the sake of time. To be, I mean, not to be fair, I think representation is extremely important, but from what I read, the line that they cut wasn't very good.

The line was, I think she was read the line that they cut wasn't very good. Like the line was I think she like was in the line she was like sort of hitting on Chris Pratt of just like I'm not into dudes

but like maybe. I think that's what it was. As lady and ladies that's fair honestly with the Chris Pratt I get it. Fine that they cut that

I don't care. Right. I mean as a big old boosh eater, I can say fucking thank you. I would love to see the kind of representation

in media where it's like being a lesbian or being a gay person or being whatever isn't your whole character. Right. Yeah.

It's not like Chris Pratt needed a line where it's like, I'm not into dudes, but maybe you, Brody, I would bone down with. We just assume everybody's straight. It's not that big a deal if the character

is a lesbian and doesn't fucking tell you it's a cool backstory to have I think that's awesome yeah no one said that Vekman in the new Ghostbusters was a lesbian but she's become an icon anyway yeah cause you don't have to you can look at me and know if I

have to tell you then you're not gonna get it even if I did. Oh, that hetero woman's wearing a great jean jacket. The girlfriend and I joke about that all the time, that people think that we're just a very friendly professor-student combo. Is it time for... She's my TA. Tits and ass. There it is.

I believe it is time for a very brief World Cup date. Do you believe it's time? Oh, that was really quick. That was very brief. That's the update, everybody. Thank you very much. Thank you, Super Producer Doug. Not only is Miles out, but Super producer Nick Stumpf is also out

So we have sitting in for him Super producer Doug I miss you Miles, I miss you Nick But Doug, you're doing great And Miles, your chair is very comfortable I'm happy to help anytime you want to go away So Nigeria beat Iceland this morning 2-0

Which Nigeria lost to Croatia to nothing. So this is all to, by the transitive property, suggests that Croatia is really fucking good because they also beat Argentina 3-0 yesterday. Everyone was like, well, shit, Argentina's whole World Cup is over. But the fact that Nigeria won means that Argentina is still alive. And also, I'm glad that Nigeria is still alive because Nigeria has dope uniforms and travel outfits. That's what I pay attention to.

And Brazil beat Costa Rica 2-0. That has been World Cup date. No, I don't have anything else. Are you guys watching the World Cup? I haven't really watched the World Cup, but I have been watching some memes. I will retweet my favorite meme. When Mexico won, when they won,

I think they beat Germany 1-0. Yes, they did. There was this meme of just like this old Mexican grandma who is, she's watching World Cup, and as the TV is like showing all the players, she blesses all of them. Yeah. It's doing the like,

like all sports fans know the, it's during the national anthem and it's like a closeup shot on one face, then track to the side, closeup shot on the next face. And like each time it stops, she just does the sign of the cross on their head as if the shot is specifically for her to bless them.

Like it's just like, it's so beautiful. And they won. Yeah. And the conveyor belt of papal blessings worked and they defeated Germany. The godless Germans. All right. It is time for Bloid Watch. Bloid Watch.

Nice. What's Bloid up to? So one just big overarching Bloid story is that David Peckar, a guy who we talk about every time we talk about the tabloids because he is the main publisher of American Media Inc. AMI. They publish, I'd say, like six of the eight main tabloids that you see. They publish The Globe. They publish The National Enquirer, Us Weekly. I think OK and Life and Style are the only ones that they don't publish.

But he is also, in addition to running this whole tabloid behemoth, he is one of Donald Trump's best friends. And there was a conspicuous absence of any stories about Donald Trump during the presidential election. The only stories you would see about him appeared to have been written by him. Not only were they very complimentary of Donald Trump, but they were also written in his voice. They would be like, this is amazing. He's the best. Most amazing thing. Best thing. Donald Trump had the best sex with the most women all the

time and when specifically like the headlines were filled with shitting on Hillary Clinton also in Donald Trump's voice and just using like his exact language anyways we just found out because of the raid on michael cohen's things that uh american media inc was sending headlines to michael cohen before publishing them for approval it was not an accident that they were written in his voice they were essentially written in his voice right like by his people um so that's just something to keep in mind. I know you guys have been making all of your political decisions based on the headlines you see in the grocery mart checkout aisle. So just maybe pump the brakes on that a little bit.

It's like nobody believes the Inquirer. But when the Inquirer puts out her emails 30 million times on every cover, then, you know, it's forced to become part of a conversation, even if the conversation is like, that's ridiculous. Why are you talking about her emails? As soon as that sentence comes out, it's done. That's the whole point of tabloids. We know they aren't true. And yet that seed still germinates while we're trying to not buy candy. Yeah. There's so many studies about how headlines work where even just seeing like I remember one of the big studies was about when Karl Rove did a robocall about how John McCain had an illegitimate daughter. And when he was in a primary election against George W. Bush. And then there was a huge retraction the next day.

But all anybody remembered was something about him having an illegitimate daughter. I forget who told me that or what. We don't remember anything about where we heard the information or what the context was. All we remember is the little chunk of sticky information that sticks in our head. Like a brain tumor.

Right. Exactly. Otherwise, what did you guys see? We always spend a little time kind of scanning the bloids on Friday morning. I have some Carrie Underwood non-news. It says, we almost didn't make it. How faith saved her marriage. They're still talking about her falling down and hurting her face. And it's more pictures of her looking identical to how she looked before she fell down. So that story still continues to baffle me. If anybody can find a picture where she doesn't look completely exactly as perfect as she did before she fell down. Please let us know.

She's a talented woman. And I understand how important someone's image is to their professional career in entertainment. But yeah, she hurt her. We're fine. People fall down. She might even have a scar. Maybe you can even see it. I'm pretty sure she's still talented.

That's why we started talking about her. It's just like, yeah, but how does it affect her talent? The part we like about, oh, you just wanted, did you want to fuck where that scar was? Is that why you're upset? You wanted to fuck the part of her face that now has a scar? Why do we? I don't know if it's self-imposed or if she's just getting all the inbound inquiries as to interviews and she's just kind of focused on it or if they're just focused on it. there is an arrow pointing to her completely flat, normal human stomach that does have a little stamp of approval that says, palace confirms.

And then when you read the article, they have done no such thing. Also, it's a boy and a girl. We have already gendered the two babies that are at this point like fish zygotes or something. What do you guys learn on your Lloyd watch? Brody, take it, baby. I mean, I really don't have, like, news.

There's really just, like, a lot of pictures in here of, like, Roseanne Barr crying, having a breakdown, which is great. Feels good, doesn't it? It kind of does. I don't want it to, but I do. There's also a really funny picture in here of Mel Gibson. He has a pizza that he took out now, and the caption is just like, oh, look at this pudgy little pizza boy

i'm like that's the kind of tabloids i like it's just a burn book middle school burn book that's exactly what it is that's what i've found in the uh in the inquirer from i don't know it doesn't matter uh i mentioned that top gun was sort of a formative movie in my youth apparently uh kelly mcgillis, who was the heartthrob of Top Gun, released, I want to say, in like 1986? Yes. Apparently, she's aged something appallingly like 22 years. Pass me the bucket. I got to throw up.

I got to throw up. Fucking disgusting. It's almost like her body changed over time. I can't believe I ever had a book. Tom Cruise has stayed in the public landline in a way that Kelly McGillis has haven't. And even Tom Cruise at this point in his life just made an entire movie about how he's getting too old for this shit. Yeah, totally. The most recent Mission Impossible, the trailer is just him falling down.

Just falling and falling and falling. Like, yeah, we're all older. So the Inquirer decided to let us know, these days the stout star looks to be bursting at the seams. I'm just going to breeze right through this because there are a lot of fat people puns that are pretty exciting. You've never heard some of these sick burns. This is some pretty original material they're firing up with. One-time Top Gun sex pot Kelly McGillis

has been grounded by her massive payload. Ha! Got her! Wow. Boom. Let's see. The other stars are gearing up to be in the long-awaited sequel to the 1986 blockbuster, but not her. She's battled some booze and drug addiction, and now she's a compulsive eater. Girl, take care of yourself.

Do what you need. Hollywood is a tough town. I would drink and eat pills about two sometimes. Can you handle that? Seriously. And honestly, eating's good. The 5'10 star. 5'10, 250. I'm 6'1. I was 230 earlier this year. and honestly eating's good uh the five foot ten star five foot ten two fifty i'm six one

i was 230 earlier this year that's like a normal human yeah body that's a normal human who might say something like i don't know i could lose 15 pounds yeah it's just not she's five fucking ten yeah it's just that's a normal amount of human poundage just describing my mom uh she's uh kelly's inability to get back in shape. Torpedo talks to bring her back for the follow-up film. Back into shape. Baby, she's like 50 or something. She's in 50 shape.

She hasn't been in a movie in like, what, 30 years or something. It's a shame. An insider spilled of the 60-year-old star. She was a huge part of the original film. Now she's just huge. Well she hasn't been sleeping in a stem cell chamber for the last 30 years like Tom Cruise has.

Yeah she doesn't suckle the stem cells of young goats or whatever. And just waited on hand and foot by slaves. By David Muscat. By young slaves. Also Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston still not together guys. By slaves. By young slaves. Also, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, still not together, guys.

Despite what all the headlines suggest, they are not getting back together. I don't think they've even seen each other. But they will show you pictures of them standing next to each other from 10 years ago. I can't believe that's still a thing on the tabloids. It's official, they're getting married. Yeah, I think it's just go with what worked. I feel like when both of them finally die,

it's just like, oh, will Jen be buried next to... Right, exactly. All right. Can you imagine being defined by the relationships you had either in the 90s or in your 20s? Take your pick. Right? If that's all anybody talked to you.

Like you tried with your like you go on to huge accomplishments and still all that anybody talks about is like is Caitlin still gonna fuck Kevin? I don't know.

Sorry Kevin. Hi. Good to talk to you. Also if anybody can find a picture of David Peck or shirtless we should spread that around. Should we?

Is that responsible journalism? That is. It's wildly responsible. Show us some hard pecs. Yeah, show us those pecs. Unless he's like super ripped and hot, which I don't think he is. I don't know.

Either way, let's just put it out there. Yeah, I want to see it. All right, guys. It has been a pleasure having you both here. We have come to the end of the show. Brody, where can people find you, follow you you can follow me on twitter at aobrobro

think there's a whole twitter account for synchronized like nba players are just always uh commonly very synchronized in their movements and it is fun to watch. I love those. When they all take off at the same time. There's a really interesting study that looked at the number of times NBA teams touch each other. Because you know when they're shooting free throws, even when they

miss, they all touch hands almost obligatorily. It's just like, well, we all have to do this now. They found that the Golden State Warriors, like three years ago, were the team that touched each other the most right before they just rocketed. Yeah.

And human touch, very important, guys. Locks everybody in together. I'm going to touch both of your hands as we say goodbye. This feels weird and I'm clammy. But thank you. Thank you so much. I am incredibly clammy always. A tweet that I liked is from Demia Did You eBay.
