In a Japanese bedroom. Waded down by dust mites. Oh, God. Miles. We're thrilled, fortunate to be joined in our third seat

by one of our favorite guests. You know him as the coiner of the phrase plumbers. He's a brilliant comedian, right? actor. He's brilliant. He's hilarious. He's riding a recumbent bicycle and short shorts. It's Blake Wexler! Payable on life. This is Blake Wexler.

Look upon these plumpers, because my name is Wexie. When I put on pants, it's a show. Basketball-sized knee covered in my pee. These shorts are about to blow. Basketball-sized knee is the show. Why is your knee so big? It's got to support my thigh, baby. So, wait, if your knee is the size of a basketball, how big is your quad? The size of an oil drum? God, an oil drum, maybe when I was 12.

No, by now, it's like, yeah, an elephant, probably. A Timothy elephant. Oh, wow. My one leg is. My one leg is a Lichler, aka Timothy Elephant. That'd be a dumb costume for you to be. It's just like you're just like him from like, whatever. What's that one where he's like a sheriff?

Go or Deadwood? Deadwood, but it's like a cowboy, but then you just put an elephant nose and you go, I'm Timothy Elephant. There you go. There it is. I like that. Yeah. I can probably throw that together pretty quickly. Cowboy hat with elephant nose.

Timothy Elephant. Do you know he has a size 26 waist? Wait, why? Is that a real elephant? No, but it looks like he has very small hips. I wouldn't be surprised that he can barely a close. clips 30. That's like such a weird jab at another man. Dude, you know, I guess I got a 26 inch waist, dude?

What is he? 13. Not a jab. Okay. I guess they say the grass is always greener on the other side because I have a size, what is it, 146. What is it up to now? Yeah.

You require a lot of fuel to get those plumpers, plumped. Yeah, big time. A lot of kudos bars. Yeah. Your shoulder is very narrow. It's just like from your shoulders, straight line down to the plumpers and it just goes out. Right.

It's a horrible shape. If you're not into it. Yeah. But yeah, luckily my wife is, this is insane. So she likes, yeah,

she likes what this is. She thinks that job of the hut. Yeah. Shopping for me. To buy a full sweatsuit, she has to go to several different suppliers to find the right. At this way, you just wrap,

you just wrap the sweat pants around each leg. Yes. Like, one pan pants. per leg. One pants per leg. Excuse me. Tows sewed together lengthwise around your leg.

So then, yeah. Oh, these? These towels? Blake, we're thrilled to have you here. I got to tell you. Yeah, likewise. Got to tell you, man. I got to tell you, man.

We're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. Sure, sure, sure, sure. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Donald Trump's brain work good is number one. First thing that we've, been asked to establish here. We, we, we get to look once again at the Montreal cognitive assessment, Moka. That's a fun, fun little acronym, to see, you know, the test that he is

asked to pass in order to be the leader of the United States. And there's some good, there's some good stuff in there. So we're going to, we're going to look at that, see if Blake can pass that laugh when he doesn't. The fuck. We'll talk about another great. profile from business insider this very strange genre of articles where they just find the strangest people and ask them to speak passionately about just tell on themselves to the entire internet yeah so my name's chad what of it huh yeah it like very strange calm down securities and then be like can you uh write an op ed on your weird your weirdest view yeah Yeah, it's great.

All of that, plenty more. But first, Blake, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Yeah. Yeah, what's something from your search history, punking? Why is this embarrassing? No, I'm going to answer the question.

It doesn't seem like a conscience. Get his ass, Miles. Jeez. Where's mommy tonight? No, my mom. I wrote this all by myself. We're playing the role of the two bullies from hocus pocus. Yeah, yeah.

Ice carved into the back of my head. It's not Ernie. It's ice. Man, the way they took his sneakers, bro. That was fucked up. I don't like that. I'm like, bro, don't let them take. The second he's like, hey, let me try him on.

I'm like, bro, you need to either carry a blade on you or just bike the fuck off. Don't let them take your shoes. Look, he's wearing some new cross trainers. I was like, oh, so you got Nike to let you do this if you used the appropriate. Someone's a Bo Jackson fan talking about cross trainers. but yeah and they somehow managed to fit a guy who was clearly a 33 year old playing a teenager sorry to keep bringing up hocus bogus but yeah victor the ted said no parents did nothing yeah the parents do well no the parents were like he's probably not wearing shoes as a form

of protest they do that they do qualify as some of the worst parents in the history of movies i don't know oh yeah that is true i don't know if that's i don't know if it was like my house or just like an immigrant people of color black thing but if you didn't come home in the new fucking shoes that are bar for you there was a full fucking sit down spaining session to do inquiry yeah fully anyway sorry also the wild that they were like he's not wearing shoes in the house what what's going on it's like you shouldn't wear shoes in the house you freaks disgusting Disgusting Americans. Anyway, what's your search history asshole?

Was tavern style pizza because I'm doing a show in Chicago in December. I know about the deep dish, and I'm getting there a day early to eat all day. So extra night of hotel not covered so I can eat my way through the hotel, right? Yeah, of course, of course. Yeah, yeah, beautiful, beautiful building. It's a gorgeous, it's gorgeous. I actually, like, just, I barely in my room and not because I'm exploring the city. It's because I'm just staring at how beautiful the hotel is.

Yeah, that's what I did. Which is so nice. Wait, you're getting there a day early to just get your fill of, like, all the Chicago, like, classics? These beefs, these dogs, these deep dishes, and these, uh, and my friends from Chicago and he's like, you know, obviously, like, recommended the, the Piquads of the world. Sure. But then it was like, we, we eat tavern style of pizzas there. So, which is a thin, thinner crust, crispy and not cut.

I know you guys know this already. I'm explaining this to our. So does that game. We actually just heard some pizza all the time. I just heard somebody reference it and didn't. really have a great idea in my mind, but I think I had some idea. But I actually got really if you didn't fucking cut me off. If you didn't fucking cut me off, I would have finished yet. Sorry, we're learning. Sorry, go ahead, dad. But keep talking. No, dad, tell us about your trip to Chicago.

You don't talk. All right. Justin in the chat, Chicago born and bred, uh, Aurelios, some of the best tavern style pizza in the Chicago. There you go. Chicago land area. Stand up. I didn't need to Google anything. I could have just emailed Justin for all this information. Wasting your time. He has asked that you stop doing that. but yeah i know i know it's getting a little bit it's getting really granular now you're like how many squares of toilet people i'm sorry for what i just treated you that was crazy i'm sorry um that's okay i'm sorry for my tone no i you're forgiven but i'm never forgetting victor just a note here never have blake back on the show okay okay well once you tell me who victor is i'll apologize

oh oh you animal i love victor you failed you failed your failed sealed your fate fuck i've uh also speaking of um crossing boundaries i've asked Victor to send me multiple pictures of his Victor's dog. So I love that dog. It's an adorable dog. It's a very beautiful dog. Yeah, beautiful. Beautiful dog.

Beautiful dog. Beautiful. Yeah, he's trying to be a dog fan. Trying to fit in with that. It's a beautiful dog. One of the most beautiful, you know, some say it likes sex as much as I do.

What? What the fuck are you talking? This dog can breathe underwater for five minutes. I don't think he knows what a dog is. The dog was frozen in ice, folks, in Times Square, and got out eventually. That's David Blaine, sir. No, no, that's the dog. Yeah, no, he's a nasty dog.

David, sorry, where are we at now? Oh, so you Googled it? Is it, you curdled it, tavern-style pizza? I put it in a smoothie, and I gargle it before I go to bed. I have this amazing voice. Tarzan-s-a-peza is delicious. Yeah, it's really good. So are you going to go to Portillo's?

Obviously, that's not like a unique. That's like, you know, everyone goes to Portillo's. But the fucking roast beef and cheddar croissant sandwich is a decadance. Okay. So no hip, I think that's a great piece of advice. No hip factor if you're going to go do this. You know, so it's like, oh, everyone goes to Portillo's, then go to, then go. Yeah, if everyone's going to just go.

We don't have it here. So, yeah, I don't have it here. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I don't have to be Mr. Cool, like, oh, I found, like, a hut, you know, underneath the Mississippi River somewhere, you know, like where they'd be in Chicago anyway. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Just so you know, you're near the Mississippi, the mighty Mississippi. Yeah, yeah, it goes right through downtown Chicago. Yeah.

And, but, yeah, so that's what, that's what I was like. I'm trying to figure out what foods I'm getting myself into. So going to do deep dish, of course, going to do tavern style. And, um, do, do it. A lot of, like, hack comedians just do, like, trolly Chicago food jokes. Like, I feel like they go and they look a couple of things. I was like, hey, I just had it. We do.

Just had one of you great hot dogs with ketchup all over it. Oh, yeah. You fucking kill that guy. I heard Lou Malnoughties is the best pizza in all of the land. For that reason, I do almost, I do almost always intentionally avoid, like, a local reference like that. Because if they've been to any comedy show, I'm sure every single or commenting on something in the room, you know, or if there's like a weird window, it's like, I'm sure that joke has been made 45,000 times. Hey, that's a weird window, huh?

The crowd just goes insane. That lady did a backflip off her table. Yeah, it was crazy. It was a window. Someone break the window. Kill it. It gave me the window to take home. Yeah.

What is, uh, was something you think's underrated? Underrated? Yeah, I can answer that. that question. So underrated. All right. You sound like a guilty guy being questioned in one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So were you on Saturday night around 2 a.m. Oh, yeah.

I can't. Yeah, yeah, I can answer. Yeah, I can answer that question. Two hours past midnight. Sure. Uh, two hours, two a.m. in the morning, in the morning then. Just so we're saying. Um, I was at so underrated, I have sleep masks, but yeah, with the eyes indented. If that makes sense.

so you can get a sleep mask that doesn't cross up against your eyes so it's there's like eye hole eye holes it's a concave there's a concave so there's a concavity it pops out a little bit macavity macavity yeah no that's not what we said we said a chair no no you can get the rum-tum tugger brand of eyeglasses why are you guys talking about cats

constantly it happened years ago that happened so long they took out the butts okay release the butt hole cut We won't stop. We won't stop. I will not stop until they release the butthole cut in theaters. Jack didn't even know. He didn't even vote in the election.

He's so good. That's my only thing keeping me going. I don't want to hear about it. I actually think the country's on a great course. Except they didn't release the butthole cut. You like the masks? Yeah, I mean, I get, yeah, once you have one that actually like doesn't press against your eyelashes and stuff, it makes it a lot easier.

because I used to, oh, look, I got luscious eyelashes. Yeah, sometimes. So does Jack, too. And then I think like you do too, yeah. I do also, Jack? I don't know if I ever do. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. When they're pressing, call me, Jack, they can give you a little,

a little discomfort. Yeah. I read that. Yeah, so great. Are you doing a, is that, is that why you need the concavity over the eyes? Or is it something about, like, the feeling of having your eyes pushed back into your shit? It's the thing about my eyes being pushed back into my shit.

You're all shit pushed in. My whole eye shit. Yeah, it's definitely that. Because your eyes are more or firmer than the lash. Like the lashes is if you're doing it with care, you can push down a lash, you know, like, and be relatively comfortable. But, yeah, no, it's not having the eye. It's like you're not wearing it at all, essentially, where if you have a cheap piece of shit eye mask that pushes in your shit, your eye shit. Yeah, pushes in your eyes shit.

I remember that's, a lot of people don't realize in training that's what those gangsters were talking about when they're talking to Ethan Hawks character's like, you're going to get your shit pushed in. You get your shit pushed in. There was a pile of eye masks. And they're just going to push gently on his eyes. There's a kind of eye masks on that table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you ever noticed people when they laugh really hard will push on their ars like that?

Mm-hmm. Oh, some people. I don't know you mean. I feel like that's a new trend I'm noticed. thing. I make a lot of people laugh really hard. So that's the thing that I've just, I'm on the cutting edge of people's reactions when they're laughing really hard. I'm spitting like shards of apple into their faces that you speak and they're like,

oh, oh, God, those glass apples. Yeah, yeah. Wait, what's your theory there?

Like, they're trying to keep their eyeballs from popping out. So they got to keep their shit. I've seen multiple comedians like on podcast to do it where like somebody says something really funny. That. Oh, a man Matt Apodaca does it.

Oh, then I like it. It's a trend with a very funny people I've noticed. We got to get his ass back here and take him to task on this pushing his whole shit. I think. What's up with that, dude? Your eyes about to pop out? Like that one lady in the 90s who had a whole career for making her eyes pop out on TV? How do you think she found out she had that skill?

What if she was like, I should have been laughing like that the whole time? I'm glad I didn't because I wouldn't have this mansion. L-M-E-O, Laugh my eyes off. Laugh my eyes out? You're making me laugh my eyes out. Laugh my fucking eyes out. You're a sleep mask guy because I'm working on a loose theory. Sure, sure, sure.

Blake, there's a recent study that said that nightlights cause people to be at a higher risk of heart failure and heart disease, heart attack, all the bad, all the bad ones. All the hard stuff. And I'm wondering, I was wondering, because I also have a, I've heard anecdotally from people, and this apparently isn't backed up by science, but that like mental institutions are a lot more busy, have a lot more incoming on nights with full moons. And I'm wondering, like, if it's just the subtle sleep disruption of having some light in the room from the full moon or sleep light. interesting. I, so we have blackout curtains as I've told you multiple times. As I've said on top of a hat, isn't it? You got blackout curtains and you need the I mess? I'll use the IMS when I travel. Which I should have, which I should have disclosed earlier. I apologize. But it is, it does help when you travel. Sleep mask with eye indented for travel. Can we get that underrated? For travel. Yeah, I'm sorry to give you more work, Justin. When you get a chance. Can you actually edit what I just going to be a clean version. Let's get that clean version. People are going to want that. People are going to want that. People are going to want that. clean i think yeah i mask scooped out eyes for travel and also it's so gross it's disgusting let me get an eye mask scooped out can i cut it i mask scooped toasted can i get a toasted eye mask scooped out um well here's here's a i wonder also where if it is darker in your room and you can't

see anything there's probably dangers there too where we were staying one night at my inlaws and i walked at a speed that would suggest that I had no worries in the world directly into the corner of a wall and had like didn't put my hands up like didn't slow down and had a big old dent in my head walking with purpose face first into a wall as if I had like I was in the airport and had time to make my flight so I didn't have to run but like was I got to walk at a brisk pace yeah so yeah there's dangers everywhere there's dangers everywhere you know you could have a snake in your house and not see I will say this, though, to the eye mask thing. Like, I, I noticed, like, I sleep better with it because I was also reading, like,

what people who, like, fall asleep with the TV on, that can really also disrupt your sleep because there's, like, a ton of blue light coming off. Like, blue light's really bad for your circadian rhythms. So that's the only reason I kind of got into the eye mask game. I like that. That is also, I'm also not the kind of person to sleep with the TV on either. But, like, when I sort of put it all together, like, even if you had a computer screen on, like ambiently like any bit of blue light can go your sleep off just having that dodgers game

on the other night was uh fucked fucked fucked my sleep up for for the night yeah yeah did you watch the whole thing yesterday i did not i fell asleep i did oh yeah yeah good good i fell asleep and i was like ah they weren't good what is something you think is actually let's take a quick break blake yeah take a quick the first time we've had to do this and we'll we'll come back and talk about something that's overrated and donald trump bring Here we go. Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask,

why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style?

And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future.

quite easily as a fabric and then we had linen sheets and they just fall off me during the night they're not heavy enough is the problem so if i'm a tosser and a turner and as i do that these things horrible combo and i have no idea where these sheets are three hours into the sleep because i've toss them off. I need a heavier blankets. Oh, it's like when you put like a fitted sheet with a bunch of laundry in the dryer and then it just becomes like a big wrecking ball twisted up at the bottom.

Yes. Fogonk. Yeah. Yeah. Or should, I left my motorcycle helmet in the drive again. I put those square wheels on my motorcycle. Right. I feel like Irish linen is meant to

rank like that's kind of the look. Is it meant to be wrinkly? I mean, yeah. Unless you, like, iron them and shit. You know what I mean? Like the ironing is a lot of work. That's the thing. Like, wool is tough to, like, anything that you have to dry clean, I feel like can't be in your daily rotation.

You can wash linen. You just have to like, hanged right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, fine. Whatever. They're sheets. You know what I mean? You already said it's like meant to be worn and then it gets like slightly less wrinkled as the day goes. That's always been my philosophy on it.

That's good. Yeah. You have to put it on first thing. And then by the time you get to work, you're at like a 2 o'clock linen. You've already showered in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're good. The sunlight has dried it.

Yeah, perfect. Wait, maybe that's why it looks weird as I shower in my clothes. Yeah. All right. Stupid. Great job. Definitely. Great job, kid.

Let's call it was an Nostradamus of overrated after a fucking killer underrated. Okay. After an elmatic of underrated. Let's talk about, uh, The brain, oh, the president. So on the same flight where he was bragging about taking a cognitive impairment exam, he took time to bash his favorite enemies, women of color of all sorts, specifically AOC and Jasmine Crockett.

This is an interesting insight. I missed it with all the other talk about his cognitive decline and running for a third term and whatever. And just how normal the sycophant press is on Air Force. I'm like, let's talk about a third term. Like, not even like how illegal that would be. But here he is talking about just again, he, his, his greatest fear is women of color. And if they're smart, that's like a force multiplier of terror for him that he just has to fucking tear them down. So here he is saying like, yeah, I'd like to see them take the, does your brain work test?

They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. They have AOC's low IQ. You give her an IQ test. Okay, Jasmine Crockett's a fucking lawyer. Okay, and AOC has a degrees in economics and I think international relations. Yeah. Just so you know. Okay.

And managed to earn everything she has by, you know, working from like a, you know, blue-collar job and got to where she is. Not based on the houses I saw, Jack. She looked like she was living it up. She was a, she was not gifted $10 million on birth. Yeah. Yeah. Just, yeah.

Yeah. Well, Trump had to get a degree in that, actually. He had to go to school in order to study being a nepotism. Yeah, exactly. A nepotistic piece of shit. Yeah. They really honestly should have like a nepotism major at Penn, you know. Not a bad idea. They could, what are they going to be worse? Yeah. I think it's just a business degree. You could minor a nepotism where you just like study to be the person who helps other people who have a ton of money. I majored. I majored in learned helplessness and I minored in nepotism. Um, that's, so that was sort of my experience in university. All right, go on, Prexident. Have her passed, like, the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. I took, it was a very hard, uh, they're really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Oh my God. Six, six different tests.

Sir. You got to, you had to take a, you said they're really hard. Is he, you took an assessment to see if. if you're suffering from any kind of cognitive impairment. And it's so clear the way he said that the people around him, like, it's an aptitude test, sir. They want to see how smart you are. He's like, oh, great.

You fucking smoked that one, man. Just right down the middle. Dang. The way you saw the horsey and we're like, horsey. Oh, my God, dude. I thought I was seeing like prime skip to my loo at Rucker Park or some shit. Okay, go on. You're taking an aptitude test or cognitive assessment.

Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. I don't think of Jasmine, the first couple of questions are easy, a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn't come close to answering any of those questions. First of all, the test he's talking about is the Montreal cognitive assessment, okay? He is feeling himself so much based on his performance on this test. There are not 25 questions. They circle back and ask you if you can name the same five words from earlier in the test.

I don't know if that's what he's talking about. Wait till you get up there in the extra innings. It's crazy. I'd like to see them go toe to toe with me. So I put a version of the Montreal cognitive assessment for us to look at. Just so you can understand what Trump is actually talking. talking about. Okay. So there's one that's a visual, spatial, executive function part where there's like all these disparate circles around. It says there's like, it's like one through five and letters

A through E. And so they're saying start with the number one and it goes to A. Then A goes to two. Now complete this sequence. So it'd be like two, B, three C and so on. That's one part. The next part is draw a three dimensional cube. Okay. The next part, draw a clock. Okay? Draw a clock. And put the time,

Miles, don't make it sound easier than it is. Put the time is at 10 past 11. So you need to be able to read a clock. I'm like, God. Can we skip down to the one where, like the one that he's like, that's where it gets really hard?

Probably the attention or abstraction. We'll like, name the maximum number of words in one minute that begin with the letter F. and you just need to get over 11 words that begin with F in one minute and he's like that shit's

fucking hard dude you think she could do that let's see fentanyl uh frediC Freddie Mac Bernie Mac

what oh I mean he's off on one again free freemasonry he actually gets five minutes guys just where we're going to give the president five minutes. What's the highest score?

Yeah. And then other like subtraction, but again, this is what he is pumping his own dick up about and being like I'd like to see them recall five words. We really need to do that. Like if we could just get him to, because he really does think, like the people

around him, like there's got to be some way to take advantage of the fact that everyone around him is telling him he's like a fucking next level genius. Right. For being able to tell the difference between a lion, a rhino, and a fucking camel. Yeah, yeah. I just got so sad that we, that Trump, the worst thing in the world, lives in the same,

like, universe as a lion, a rhino, and a camel. Like, I like to think that this piece of shit is just over there. And these poor innocent camels, Trump knows them. He knows about them. Like, that's so sad. You should it. You shouldn't. But, um, that whole rant happened on the flight to Japan because Trump is doing deals or

something or begging Hyundai to do business with them or something because he's also going to Korea. I mean, the very last question I just want to say is, what is the date, month, year, day, place, and city that you are in currently? Yeah. This is the section where he says

it gets really hard at the end. Yeah. Where are you right now? Similarity between here. He put here. Yeah. This is firmly in the section that he's like, this is really hard shit. Okay. So we're going to give you some words, you tell us the similarity between them.

For instance, if we say banana and orange, you would say, fruit. Fuck you. Oh, sorry. Okay. Train and bicycle, watch and rule. Those are the actual stuff. Yeah, train. Yeah, it's, again, wow.

Have these people who are just infinitely more intelligent, whatever, that's where he's at, he's racist, he is clearly suffering from mental, cognitive decline. And he's the president and nothing's being done about it. But so that flight, he's going to Asia. There was this other moment, dude, where he was, he was meeting the new Japanese prime minister, Takaiji Sanae, who's like this, she's, we'll talk about her. She's like the new woman, prime minister of Japan. Absolute backwards politics, but, well, right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, he goes to like, he's meeting the new prime minister and then they're meeting these other dignitaries. He just aimlessly wanders through this place because he doesn't know, like, where the fuck he's at at one point he just like stops in front of the marching band to be like uh just taking the show in but here i'm going to play a little bit of uh just so you can see his like whole little trip around the room where there's like a band and dignitaries and he at one point he gets to the american flag where he's supposed to acknowledge it and the japanese flag with the prime

minister just goes right by it here here he is wandering the room all right so here he is walking around he kind of half ass salutes the flag and she's like please stand next to me and we'll acknowledge both countries he's like no i'm off that shit that's all you girl keeps walking walking around she's still she's staying she's like where did he go he's just walking down the room then another like guard is like please this way sir to like where you're clearly supposed to stand goes around head down like what the fuck is going on anyway so it's not a great like if you if this is the nfl combine i feel like we wouldn't love his game his ability to stay upright for much longer than after the cameras go away.

This guy's not getting drafted. He's moving like a mascot for like an SEC school, you know, where it's like one of those bulls or bison's that like a steer that they're just like, all right, this thing can waddle out of control at any point. Right. Like when they get the real animal out there. Yeah. Like the long horn where it's like, yo, how is this even legal that they can have this longhorn?

here amongst it is like slowly like steering it around and just being like god i hope it doesn't fall over like kill someone so i hope those drugs don't wear off after that trump went to go fucking talk to the navy stationed there in japan and again all over the place there was definitely the like dangerous rhetoric about like domestic enemy type shit but i will spare everybody those quotes because we've heard them a thousand times and we already live in terror about that. The other things he was talking about, though, where he's like, we'll not be politically correct anymore with our defense. Sometimes the way we want to defend is not politically correct as we do extrajudicial killings,

murders of people in boats. Then he talks about, do you guys know how hot, like how water works or magnets? Like this was, uh, here, just here he goes, he's talking about magnets like that fucking insane clown posse song. but here he is but we're going to go back okay now let me ask you the second question hydraulic for your elevators or magnets you know the new thing is magnets so instead of using hydraulic that you can be hit by lightning and it's fine you take a little glass of water and you drop it on magnets i don't know what's going to happen so you know the elevators come up in the

new carriers i think i'm going to change it by the way they have magnets not every tractor has hydraulic every dead silence just people standing oh the whole thing the whole every time they're like what the fuck like a lot of time it felt like they were just laughing because they're like dude i can't believe this fucking guy's the president it was sort of like that was sort of the vibe at this thing i'm gonna change it by the way i think what weren't you just saying it's good what are you going to change what are you what are you what are you changing magnet they go north now we're going to go south with them okay they're going to we're going to change oh they're Crude. The magnets are screwed. I tell you what.

Yeah. Are the boats elevators? Then he was saying something about how he wanted to change everything back to steam-powered ships because, like, this, everything's electric and doesn't work. He's like, I like steam power. I like seeing the big plumes of smoke come off the steam. We're going back to steam. That is satisfying. Then talked about catapults.

Like, we were sieging a castle. It really is, like, there's a meme that's going around where, like, someone was like, I have a new theory. like centralized theory of everything that is everyone's 11 right now. Everyone's a 12 year old. Everyone's a 12 year old. And like this is I think in this case they're overshooting it and is like a 9 year old

because these are all things that are fascinating to like my 9 and 7 year old. They're like hydraulic power magnets. They're like they can fucking play with magnets. I mean really they stopped being interested in magnets like a couple years ago but for the

for the sake of you know Making the president not seem like an actual baby will say that they're still interested in magnets, but like boats, hydraulics or steam power, they're really into that. Like, it's all the shit he's into. And then also, like, acing a really easy test and being like, oh, yeah, you figure smarter than me, asshole. Yeah. And the perfect 10, it was out of, it was out of 30, sir. Oh, right. It's a willful ignorance, too, where I want to pretend.

like Trump can only be only has a capacity so high but in general this like this era of like nine year olds where any expertise or intellect or ed let me say like education education education expertise experience is so vilified because they're part of like the intellectual left who's trying to take shit away from you and it's like god forbid you hire an electrician who's done it before you know what I mean it's like oh no you can just go go in the wall. Blinky, blinky, blinky, blinky. He talks like everyone, he talks like everyone is dumber than him. So he thinks he can get away with saying this inane nonsense. Meanwhile, you're talking to the people who are maintaining and operating all of this complex hardware

killing machines. And he's like, yeah, the Magnus is how they're like, what the fuck? Dude, what is this shit? We don't? I'm, I'm curious that if Polly Market is going to start taking prop bets on Trump's like cognitive decline. Like, what's, the over under on him dropping his pants in a confused stupor in front of a foreign leader? Could we get him to do, like, is there an actual Emperor's New Clothes situation on the horizon where we could like trick him into doing something like that? Like, honestly, it does feel like we're in the world where he's living in such a weird bubble and his brain is so broken that we could like get him to like do a quiz against AOC for like pay-per-view or something

like that. You know what I mean? Sorry, Dana White. Fuck the UFC match in front of the White House, it's me AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Triangle of Death, Multiple Choice Cognitive Exam Match. God, that would be amazing. Like it's WWF or something shit. Nine questions. Nine questions to rule them all. He does know he can't do double-digit

questions, but she'll think he aces is the night. It gets tricky. We'll actually do the first nine. Actually, those were those were kind of my sweet spot. Yeah, those were so easy. You mean the one where you had to pick a camel? But then we get sort of into yeah. Once you get into the back nine, though, it gets a lot trickier. The back nine?

Are you called me? Sorry, I don't know what I'm saying. He's never once said that. He's never once said. I don't know what I'm saying, even though it's been true for the past 20 years. Would that horrify you if he said that once? He's like, I mean, guys, I don't even know what.

I don't even know anything, to be honest. I'm actually quite ignorant. Instead of saying that, he's just like, let's listen to music. We should just listen to my playlist. Yeah. Andrea Boccelli, he's great. You know he's blind. but he can still sing

why does it bat another animal I got right yeah they're like birds but weird yeah they've got fucked up faces how hard he was feeling himself oh you mean ugly birds

no they're bats sir yeah no no they're ugly birds I call them fugly birds yeah they don't sleep you know they don't sleep they sleep weird all right let's take a quick break We'll be right back.

Here we go. Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are,

experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to here we go again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion-dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back.

He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I live below a cult leader, and I fear I've angered her.

Well, wait a minute, Sophia. You know she's a cult leader. Well, Dakota, luckily it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week. on the OK Storytime podcast, so you'll find out soon.

I think they may be part of a cult. Hold up, Sophia, a real-life cult? And what is a dirt ritual? No clue. But according to this person, contractors are tearing down the patio to find out what's going on with their ceiling, and her neighbors are not happy. Well, she needs to report them.

ASAP. She did, and now they've been confronting her in really creepy ways all the time. So, do we find out if this person survives their neighborhood cult or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everybody?

80 thing with the little tongue muster. October, we're doing it Halloween style. Listen to the trapners podcast from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. We're back. We're back. And we got another

business insider gem. Oh my God. I read this. Very excited to find out about our latest. I kept it away because people who have listened to show know I like to pull the occasional business insider profile on some person who's just telling on themselves in an article. We had the guy who was like, I have an AI company and I'm using AI to outsource all my parenting decision making. And then there was the white guy named Chad who said his life was like really hard because his name is Chad. And the latest one that caught my attention. He thought that he had been, he had invented discrimination.

He was like, I think people see my name and they think I'm white. And they make hiring decisions based on that. And that could hurt me. Sometimes I don't want to share my real name for fear that people will jump to an assumption. Try being a Blake, Chad. Yeah, I hear you. I hear you. But now the latest one is a family who just named their newborn daughter Disney.

Yes. I know a lot of Disney adults. God love him. God love them. I love your dedication. This level is frightening. It's horrifying. And I'm just going to read it because it reads so funny.

It says, my husband Josh and I are always looking for fun ideas for videos to share with our social media followers. Okay. So it starts off, friend. And they're really posted after the birth of our seventh child this month was no exception. Holy hell. She goes on to say our six. kids dressed as beloved Disney characters for a very special name reveal

on Instagram. Our beautiful newborn is called Disney Mae Jones. And then she talks about how Disney is like really big to her and her husband. They have like six kids from one to 13. And they're like, this is just like the perfect name. They go on to

say what commenters have said, quote, they said it should be illegal. Or we would have infringed on a trademark. Others said she'd be bullied in school. The most ridiculous comment was that the doctors and nurses at the hospital should have a veto on so-called weird names. It's kind of funny. So-called.

But we really don't care what they think, nor do our kids. Like us, they find it strange that anyone could be negative about our brand-new baby they have never met. They say Disney, Disney evokes so much magic and joy and goes on to talk about Walt Disney and ignoring how he's a fucking freak racist. Josh and I have always loved unconventional names. It goes back to Josh's elementary school days. His last name is Jones, which is incredibly common. There was another Josh Jones in the grade above him, and the teachers kept getting them mixed up.

Again, somebody who is, like, walking around the edges of discrimination, like, of, like, what it might be like to have some sort of systemic disadvantage. This is why, and this is why she's laying it out, right? This is the justification, right? This is the rationalization of why, because my husband had the fucking tragic, a fucking destiny to be named Josh Jones when there was another Josh Jones. Imagine that. he was once called to the office because his quote mother had arrived to take him to the doctors but it was the other boy's mom another time he was sent to see the principal because he'd supposedly got into a fight it turned out to be the older josh jones who was involved i've always wanted that being a formative piece of like difficult a difficult experience is getting called to the principal's office by accident and they're like oh not you josh the other josh no no not you sorry about that josh go back to class you're fine oh my god 30 seconds of his time behind. Mom, I went to the brush. Mom, I went to the walk. I went to the office today and they said you'd be there. And I thought you had shape shifted into another woman. And I wasn't sure what to do if you were still my mom or if that woman was my mom, they don't know what to do. So she goes on. Okay. She said, I love a different name. I don't want my kids to be confused with anybody else. When I was single, I misheard a parent address their child as Trendy. Her name was actually Trinity. But something about Trendy's name stuck with me. Before Josh and I married, I told him that I want to name our

first daughter, Trendy. So we did. It didn't stop there. You like a different name and your kids are also going to wish they had a different name. So that works out great. Yep. It didn't stop there. Besides Trendy and Disney, we now have four daughters named Zaley, Sunny, truly, and Journey. Mm-hmm. Sure. Zayley, sunny. So I don't know, Zayley's an interesting, sunny after sunny delight, truly after those alcoholic, seltzer drinks and Journey after your favorite band. After Smolet.

Jack, what do you think? They have a son. What do you think they named their son? Just think these are the most, it's not going to be, like, it's not going to be unique. You're going to be like, of course you named your fucking kid this after this iconic thing. Batman. 9-11. You're kind of close, Jack. It is a movie character.

Okay. Bruce Wayne. Jack, I'm asking you specifically because if in another dimension, you would have named your first son after this film character. Oh, Sheriff Brody? Exactly. No. Fucking Rocky. Rocky.

That's so. Sheriff Brody O'Brien. Oh my God. Quint O'Brien. Then they go on to say, none of our children has been bullied about their name. It's quite the opposite. They're homeschooled.

So good. That's not the opposite. Quite the opposite. They're homeschooled. We keep them away from bullying people by hiding them in our house. When they do interact with children in the outside world, they get a lot of compliments from other kids and their parents and love the fact that they stand out. That is something someone says and they go, I'm saying, what was your daughter's name? Disney.

Oh, that's so unique. Oh, my gosh, I love that. And then they turn around and do the jackoff motion. Everyone has like tendonitis in their elbows in that town for me. I think the jack-off motion so vigorously. Everyone on their block has their arm in a sling. You're like, what happened? Everyone's got terrible.

It's not tennis elbow. It's get a load of this asshole elbow. Yeah. So then they said, we came up with Disney after teasing around a lot of D names like Daisy and Davy. Davey? But we wanted something really different. We both liked to choose last names and thought about Hinkley after our favorite. My favorite assassin?

Our favorite. They said Hinkley or Swayze? You're talking, again, you're invoking John Hinkley. I don't know. That's the only pinkly I can think of. Yeah, that's the iconic Hinkley. And Swayzy, rest in peace. You don't want your kid getting ghosts like Patrick Swayze now.

Still, Disney won out. Unfortunately, they're always going to be people who make mean comments. Yes, three of us are here right now. I'm sorry. Oda Mae. Yeah. Which would have been the cooler name from Ghost. But for each one, that was nasty.

There were 10 more comments that were positive. We even heard from a woman who was proud to be called Disney, too. Wow. So this is sweet. Walt Disney's granddaughter. And she's proud to be called that because she inherited millions of dollars. Billions of billions of dollars. My wife and I, if this is too personal, we can edit it out.

But we have seven kids. That's up to you. And when we had the first kid, we named him Sleepy. and then we named the next one doc and then happy sneaky grumpy bashful dopey and then we had an eighth and we named her evil queen

we named her poison apple yeah we named her poison apple and then our dog mirror mirror on the wall yeah oh my god I mean like again you name your kid what you want but it's funny like I as a parent and someone who like stressed so much over a name

because like you think that's you go out into the world and it unfortunately can dictate a lot of how people treat you or perceive you to hear of you just really treat it like they're like they're changing the name like it's like i know this beanie baby's called striker the soccer one but i actually want to call this one mia ham and this beanie baby's name to this it's more just like these are just fun things for you but again whatever uh but i just love the rationale was like well a my son's my father my father my father my children's name Josh Jones. That's not happening ever again, okay? Someone mixed him up with another job. Crime against humanity. Yeah. Also, I love Disney and I once misheard Trinity as trendy. Sorry, the Matrix really had me confused the whole time. There's

been confusion around two names in our life, and we're making huge life decisions based on that fact. I know these are things that people would even think to bring up the average person. It wouldn't even fucking stand out to them at all. When they came home and their parents were like,

how was school? They wouldn't remember to bring that up. Yeah, at all. If you had to, what would be an indulgence name based on like a pop culture thing that was near and dear to your heart? Like if nothing mattered. Going with the everyone's 12 thing,

when I was actually closer to seven, I was, I think I mentioned this before, but, you know, we drank enough soda in our household. Like, that was just a thing you drank. It was like milk, orange juice, where the hell do drinks?

Water was not a thing. And then Pepsi was, you know, my, the thing that I rode hard for. And I wanted to name our dog, hypothetical dog, we never got a dog, Pepsi. And I thought that that name fucking ripped so hard. I was like that I would like tell people that I was going to get a dog and name it Pepsi. And they were, yeah, all right, man. Do you remember the Simpsons episode where Homer became the big brother? to that little boy, Peppy.

No. And because Bart got an older, he got like a big brother mentor guy who was like a Chad alpha dude and like fucking Homer. Like he's like, I too can play that game. So he like started mentoring a little kid, poor kid named Peppy. And then there's one scene where he's like, I love you, Papa Homer. And Homer's like, I love you, Pepsi. He's like, it's peppy. Whatever.

He's like, he called him fucking kid Pepsi. Oh, that's so good. Blake, what about you? So Pepsi for Jack. Yeah. When I was four before my sister was born, my mom was like, she was asking me about names. And my favorite movie at the time was Homeward Bound.

And that was like my only reference point, which were animals. And I was like, Chance was one of the dogs, which you couldn't, there are plenty of people named Chance. So that's possible.

And he makes, or they make a, like hockey jerseys, but combine multiple sports teams from that city. So, like, you'll have, like, an old school Detroit, you know, logo from, you know, like the teal uniforms they used to wear. This is the most specific recommendation.

Chris, Chris Cox, Coxerson. But no, it's a very specific interest where it's like basically they combine the city's teams where they almost take like numbers from a throwback jersey, put it on a hockey jersey and combine it with another player's name.

Oh, okay, I like that. Go through it. If this is up your alley, you're going to obsess over it. You've got like a fucking Barry Sanders Red Wings jersey basically or some shit like that. It would be something like that. But they look cool. Like a Steve Eisenman fucking Pistons jersey. Right.

I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless Media, Campside Media and Big Money.

players. It's a wild tell about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood except for the part where he steals from rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million than had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying, like, oh, God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example.
