It is the hilarious, the talented Zora Narbush! Zora! What's up? Did I call you Zora?

I think I called you Zora. Oh, Zora Neal Hurston. Zora Narbush! Zora Neal Hurston! Zora! Welcome. Their eyes were watching God! I remember their eyes were watching God. That shit made me terrified of rabies.

Remember that book? I remember having to read it. Yeah. Anyways, Zara. Moving right along. Moving along. Moving right over that reference I missed. Oh, man.

How are you doing? How has your eclipse been? Yo! I have been staring at the eclipse all night. All night? Holy shit. Reviews, reviews. Zara, I think you're...

I'm so fucked up. All right, so a couple things. If you're I'm so fucked up alright so a couple things if you're gonna pretend like you if you witnessed the eclipse so first of all they tend to happen during eclipsing they tend to happen during the day and they don't like get you

really fucked up like I guess you could say they get you fucked up but you're only supposed to they only happen for like 45 50 minutes I think is what my experience maybe a couple hours I don't know They get you fucked up, but you're only supposed to. They only happen for like 45, 50 minutes. What? I think is what my experience, maybe a couple hours. I don't know. I've been peeping our little non-path of totality eclipse in LA for about an hour now.

I'm just saying. I was doing Molly with my babysitter. I was doing Molly with my babysitter. And he said that the eclipse happened at night with the streaks. Right. Okay. That's why you were seeing the trails. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. The vibe. I just broke into tears, but like good tears. Inexplicable. Yeah. I'm so emotional.

I get it. I get it. I think I did see the eclipse and I think that you guys did it. And I think that this is toxic. You know how I know I didn't see the eclipse because I looked at that shit wrong and I can still see. So guess what, y'all? Sorry, science did it. I know I'm not supposed to, but I not supposed to but that's how i like to prove

things wrong there's definitely a change to the quality of light i will say it's a it's a little bit like a paler yellow is it dimmer outside yeah slightly did dim a little bit but it's not like a dim like going behind the clouds like it's a it's like a weird yeah like they put a color in the sky yeah i haven't been outside in like four days i don't know what it's like yeah same i looked through my window and it just did not anyway that's all that's say it's a great i'm sure for the people in the path i hope to send your videos on and i want to see the totality gang rise up and see what that looked like when you're actually in the cool part of the eclipse rather than the hey I'm looking at a

shadow of it on the sidewalk or with my bare eyes and telling my neighbor nothing's happening nothing's happening I got that passive totality mentality okay so even though I wasn't in the path I'm still feeling it no one can tell me I wasn't bro mentally path. I'm still feeling it. No one can tell me I wasn't, bro.

Mentally, I was. No one can. Yeah. Right. No. The best we got is, yeah, Miles, as you were saying, it looked like a early 90s film set in the Middle East for like 15 minutes outside. It's like the Mexico scenes in traffic.

Yeah. Right. Exactly. Anytime we're not in the U.S. and there's danger, how American cinema is like, and this place is not home and maybe a little dangerous.

Yeah. Yeah. Yellow filter. Exactly. Exactly. All right. Well, Zora, what the fuck am I doing?

Zora. Hey, Zorba the Greek. Hey, good to have you. All of it's made up. I don't know. Someone can say my name the real way Hey, good to have you. All of it's made up. I don't know. Someone can say my name the real way anyway. I'm not going to blame it all on the eclipse, but it certainly didn't help. Zara, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things. We're talking about today. We are talking about Trump has announced his position on abortion. Trump has announced his position on abortion, and he has also announced that his second job is being a bad DJ. Oh, no. He's been DJing parties at Mar-a-Lago, and we have a look at a selection of the songs that he's playing, and they're concerning. Yeah. Not necessarily in the way that you might expect. We might talk about

Beyonce's Cowboy Carter album. Excellent. We might even talk about another one of our favorite DJs who keeps the party going. Tucker Carlson just opened for Kid Rock for some reason. Opened?

Yeah, he was his opening act. Just came out and basically took that to mean i'm like i'm going to introduce him for three sentences oh oh right right right got it well drunk anyways all that plenty more but before we get to any of that bullshit zara we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history okay i looked up a gif j-i-f-f wow a gif because listen don't come at me i play connections and if i don't understand the word in the context that i think it's insinuating i look it up and i don't think that's cheating so is this after after you've done so this is

the new york times this is a new york times game connections that i'm obsessed with okay yeah i was like i'm sorry yo what the fuck is connections my my seven-year-old just discovered connections and like he's obsessed with all those games now i'm playing against seven-year-old what the fuck is connections. Connections is a grid four by four of random words or like, you know, things, nouns. It's the next four to five bathroom hours of your life. Yes. And then you have to guess which four are grouped together into groups of four. Yeah, you have to create four groups of four of this like, you know, grid of words.

or off this grid of words. You have to figure out what are the groups and what are the group meanings here. And there's overlap. It's not obvious. So one of the groups, I think it was yesterday, was like Charlie, Hobby, Dark. And you had to guess that it was all things that could be starting with the word charlie yeah like charlie horse hobby oh oh okay i just did the first one like horse

yeah monocle spat top hat i grouped those right now things i wear sometimes oh yeah mr peanut right yeah yeah so wait they they did one that was Jif? Jif was within them. Right. Oh, J-I-F-F is one of them? Yeah. And I was like, is this a file name that I'm just stupid about? Like, what is... Okay.

Right. What'd you find out? And I wanted to double check, but there are some people, a.k.a. my husband, who believe that going out of the game into any other source for clarity is cheating i mean it's not it's however you want to play the game right like i yeah i do that all the time like crossword puzzles like okay i don't know this shit sometimes he thinks you're a cheater what are you supposed to do just quit like you don't know what this means did your husband graduate like top of his

class or something probably not oh wow it feels like valedictorian high schooler probably not i don't think so it feels like that kind of thing where it's like i did it the right way and no one else did and it's like sure fool i don't know if anything he struggles oh and he doesn't like that yeah you be shitty with me. If I'm shitty, you gotta be shitty too. Don't be trying to fucking do better. This goes on your permanent record. That sounds familiar.

Right, right, right. Oh, shit. Is there no rules in this world? It allows you to play the game. Otherwise, you just sit there stuck. Yeah, yeah. But sometimes I like to put the puzzle down and then it pops into my head what the answer is you know what i mean sometimes i go to chat gbt

and i just show it the grid and i say what are the answers and i don't think that's cheating yeah right i don't think it is playing the game you're just playing the game uh sometimes i go to google and say what are the answers to today's connection? And then I go and impress my seven-year-old. Watch this. Look how fast daddy does it. Boom, boom, boom, boom. All right.

Wow. You didn't get that, did you? Oh, you want to do another one? Well, that's because you're stupid. Okay. If you want me to do this new one I haven't seen, give me like two seconds. I go to the bathroom really quick and wash my hands. He's looking it up in there. Fucking idiot.

He has no idea. Alright, check that out. Dad, I can hear you. What? Oh, no. You're using bad words. You're using bad words in there. No, I'm washing my hands. Wow.

Kids are great because you can just trick them. You can blame farts on them. Zara, what is something you think is underrated? you can just trick them. You can blame farts on them. They trust you. Yeah. Zara, what is something you think is underrated? Okay. Can I talk about vaginas here? Oh, yeah.

Big time. Hold on. Let me ask. Allow me to ask Her Majesty really quick if she's okay with that. Babe. And let me ask Mother real quick. I should ask my wife as well Babe Mother

Zara wants to talk about vaginas Is that okay No vaginas No vaginas Yeah I'm good We got permission Okay

Severely underrated Yeah. Okay. I'm good. We got permission. Good. Yeah, we're good. Okay. Severely underrated is my extremely now large vagina. Very large. Post-childbirth? Huge vaginas? It's huge! What do we tell her? Huge like popular? What do we mean by huge?

It's massive right now. Dude, it's fucking popping off right now, this thing. I mean, I'm always trending. But physically, it's like a gallon size bag. And that needs to be my vaginal condom. I could just, a pillowcase would fit about right. I could hold a turkey confidently oh my god wow amazing not exaggerating not i okay what are you waiting for you could yeah but what are you waiting for yeah my question the doctor could just put his head in there i've seen a video

like that or her it was faked though or they could just put their head in there yeah well i mean look around and tell me how everything's looking everything looks yeah yeah the uh there'd be an echo when they when they were talking to you it's echoing in there now that's what i think justin was saying when he heard an echo earlier oh yeah we literally had a stop down because of an echo and i think we know what this the problem and you did offer you did say yeah you said maybe i'll mute yeah okay this is actually brought uh justin we got to keep that whole section in if i sit on a pillow yeah Justin wrote, this checks out. Yeah.

Muffled. Yeah. A silencer. It checks out over here too, Justin. I wasn't on my pillow at the time. Why is it underrated? I mean, we've seen that obviously now that you're showing off the elasticity, it's malleable, it's adaptable. Exactly.

Are we not praising this enough as a society? Women, we don't have pockets in our clothing. Where's this going? And I realize, Miles, it's because I'm supposed to reach into myself for my real purpose. Who needs a pocketing address? Yeah. Oh, shit. That's right. I'm fucking choking.

We killed Miles. No, I'm okay. I properly rate it. I'll say that. Huge fan. Huge fan. It's great. Functionally, it's a lifesaver.

What is something you think is overrated? Okay, overrated right now are Republicans. Oh, come on. Now, don't get us in hot water here, Zara. Come on. Hold on, hold on. Let me see if I, let me ask Her Majesty if I can talk about this. Babe.

Yeah, Zara wants to talk about Republicans are bad. bad yeah i don't even have to i don't even have to ask mother because i know what she's gonna say i can't like why do we wait to see what they're gonna say right why why do we treat them like anything other than one-dimensional cult leaders right wait do you hear this one, though. They said something that you are going to disagree with. We'll be right back. People are like, what are the Republicans? What do you care?

They're committing treason. They don't care about the American people. Most of them are working for either corporations with foreign interests or just foreign interests. Right, right, right. Depending on the check size. And how good you are with your accounting. They're not.

They're just one-dimensional villains. Yeah. I mean, it's funny because it must just be like in the media, too. They're like, I mean, I know so many of them. I can't just go and be real clear about who they are next time i'm on a news broadcast but yeah i mean there's there is always this version of covering the republicans about treat like again treating it like a political part and i feel like we always see these kinds of headlines there's ones like to your point where people like shocked omg what is what has what are republicans

doing and then then you also see these headlines too on more like liberal news outlets like we need to just stop calling the republicans a political party it's a straight up cult let's stop and knock it off and like it's just it just always goes between those two extremes rather than just being like yeah i mean most people in politics even on in the democratic side pretty unserious people who are just driven out of self-interest but yeah yeah yeah it's a party sure it's a party of freaks so what's the right answer though miles what what are we supposed to do whenever i hear a binary i'm trained to listen for the third option and i can feel myself wanting to be a part of that group that just says they're just cult leaders just call them all monsters let's all move on with it yeah what is the alternative yeah i don't know i feel like the mainstream media like still you know they're trying to triangulate they're always putting themselves at the direct

center between they feel like that is the way to be unbiased just put themselves at the direct center between a democratic and Republican party that have like slowly been moving rightward for decades and so it's just what is center? Yeah and acting like it is a normal political party does sort

of normalize them at the same time if we totally ignore it like I feel like there is a danger of getting too used to it that which you know we've been talking about since 2017 like the historical analogy that the nazis when they first came onto the scene were front page news in germany and everyone was like shocked and outraged and couldn't believe this was happening. But then by the time they swept to power, they were like back page news because everyone was just fucking used to it and tired of it. And it's hard not to fall into that trap, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I think it's just it's just worth, I think, paying attention and but also not being like, whatever, they're a cult and moving on. It's like, no, it's it's yes. And it's like, yes. And that's the tremendous amount of power that they can exercise. Yeah.

Yeah. So, yeah, I think there, there's also that version too, that you see like liberal, like news sites, pundits kind of like,

again, like do the thing Jack's talking about, just like laugh them off. But that's definitely from a perspective where, yeah, you can just like, those are the kinds of people who are like, it doesn't matter if they're, I, my life doesn't change qualitatively if they're in power so like

they're just a bunch of you know like whatever rather than you know just putting your hands in your head or your head in your hands and being like oh god what the what are they going to try to do because every day it's they're it's always you know going a little bit further and further and further yes further. Yes. The population of people that are shocked by them and say things like calm down as they continue to enjoy and flex more and more of their power. Yeah.

I would rather go outside and look at the eclipse than listen to more. It's just, ah, it's so maddening. Everything, like we're losing everything you know now I'm just chicken little not at all but the sky is

falling it's an eclipse yeah and that's and that's the Biden campaign slogan hey but look over there. Look at those guys, huh? All right. Here's me.

Don't ask me for specifics here. I'm just going to say, not them. How about that? Not them, and we're good. Yeah. But yeah, I think it's just because we don't... I think the other thing is that we're missing from American discourse is we don't have already an agreed upon set of values that we think like that are rights like we've completely

obscured that conversation yeah we did like a i don't know and there's like a bill of rights or something like that i'm saying everything's been like so weapon like it's just it's all just a it's a fucking rhetorical baton to beat each other with rather than be like, hey, should everyone be able to eat? All right, raise your hand if everyone should be able to have food. Okay, you say no. No free handouts. Right. Or whatever it is.

Both sides are saying no free handouts? Fuck. Where are we? And I think that would be interesting to be able to articulate those things, or at least for voters to be able to say, like, I don't know, I guess because it's all in the voters now to be able to tell people what they need. Like, well, why don't you tell us? I don't know. Not to die of medical debt or things like that. That'd be nice.

Is that a thing? Oh, my God. That makes me want to talk about that New York Times article, but I don't want to derail us. Which one? The one about the data firm. I forget what it was called. Multi-something. That was helping companies like Anthem and Aetna undercut a bunch of physical therapists and other out-of-network providers.

Yeah. Yeah. You hear about this? Yeah. Yeah. You hear about this? Yeah. I saw their whole business model is to find ways to not pay for the coverage that it is their job to pay for. where like they identify using a data a data analytics company the kind of health providers that you need but don't need in a dire way they just sort of improve your life and so they undercut and undermine your needs thereby and also modify your behavior so that like you apply for physical therapy physical therapy is the thing that yeah, it's going to improve your life. It's going to fix things.

But like, if you don't have it, you'll live without it and take more medication. Right. And so when you have an out-of-network provider, they go, sure, yeah, go ahead, but we'll reimburse you 30 bucks. Right. And meanwhile, they require the physical therapist

to charge you 175. And if the physical therapist doesn't charge you $175 or over $150 for 30 minutes, then they threaten to no longer accept the claims of that physical therapist. Weird. I mean, not weird. And they're able to do these micro-modifications because of this data analytics company's support. Anyway, this is all you're hearing from me and you have no way of verifying it, but it's best if you just believe me and get out.

We will link off to the story in the footnotes. Footnotes. But yeah, that sounds entirely like what every piece of that industry is designed and incentivized to do right which is like find ways to not pay like on their end for for things that it is their job to pay for it seems like or is it or is that a right right no right uh you know because right now i think the only thing there is a right that is agreed upon by both parties is the right to wildly profit off of your business.

I think that's like the one thing. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Like, no matter what. Yeah. OK, we can we can shake hands over that. Anything else starts getting, you know, freaky, socialist.

Yeah. Yeah. I know. But this is the thing. This is the kind of shit that leads way to fascism because everybody starts to just get fed up and mad. Yeah. And you start to vote for the candidate that is like, because I said so. Right.

Right. Yeah. But I think if I was a fascist dictator, I would do it right. Thank you. Thank you. And that is what we are here to say. And that's not all the fascists. That's the first thought.

The first thought of every great fascist. Nah, nah, nah. I got this. I got this. I got it this time. Step aside. I'm going to be able to deliver. Trust me. Trust me. I got it. I got it. If I was a fascist dictator.

Alright. Let's take a quick break and we will be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Hey fam, I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality, Chiquis,

about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer, Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things

up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back we're back and uh donald trump has announced his position on abortion. Yeah. Which is hilarious, considering he's forced women to have them. Yes, yes. And he, you know,

brought this Supreme Court into existence that overturned Roe. So, guys, I think we know where he stands. Right, right. Well, look, last week we were talking about the Florida abortion ban and how, like, the Florida State Supreme Court was like, all right, look, man, yeah, we we're going to go to like a six week ban. But also there will be a ballot measure where the voters can decide in November if they truly want to have no body bodily autonomy or any kind of access to health care and things like that. And a lot of the questions around that were like, well, what's Trump going to do? Because before he's talked shit about Ron DeSantis is like six week ban talk, like when Ron DeSantis was a candidate in the primary. But what now? Like, is he going

to say, I agree, because that's sort of like the thing that all the sort of major conservative pundits really want in the obviously the evangelicals also want out of a president? conservative uh pundits really want in the obviously the evangelicals also want out of a president or would he say abortion is good probably not but we got our answer monday and it isn't a shock to me that like rather than saying like we will pursue an all-out federal ban on abortion he went with the status quo which is just to be like i think the states should decide. And he did throw, you know, a wacky lie out about how Democrats want to do post birth executions for good measure just to make that seem extreme rather than be like, yeah, I don't know, whatever you and a doctor decide, that seems reasonable. type answer he still managed to like get abortion advocates fucking rightly pissed off because they're pointing out that him saying that is just giving the go-ahead for red states to just do whatever the fuck they want to do but then also at the same time he pissed off the conservatives because they were looking for him to be like i'm god i will as president pursue a federal ban on

abortion and when he didn't do that they're like you fuck you fucked us you fucked us i think it's i think it's just truly he he knows how unpopular it is to be anti-choice yeah so like he is smart enough to know that that isn't a popular opinion so i think what he's trying to do again he just wants to come off as reasonable because it's still early doors and maybe he can get a few independents and then he can turn the dial up as he needs to to to you know get the uh the evangelicals a little bit more energized to go to the polls but yeah it's his meta commentary on abortion has always been like it's very stupid to overturn it because it's unpopular but then right we let him do the meta commentary and then also be like, and now he has announced his official position, which is just like, you know, it's the horse race coverage. I just I want to bring in a new angle on this.

I think it's really messed up that he didn't credit Kim Kardashian for his standpoint. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah. Kim Kardashian invented the do you. Oh, i thought kim kardashian came out as i think it's a state's rights issue because it's the do you of politics right right i think the states should decide what do you think about nazis that's like it's not for me, but like, do you? Do you? Do you? Right. Really? Do you support Nazism? Yes.

Do I? There was a period of time, if you remember, when people were saying that. Right, right. Do you think everybody else is robots? Is that how? That's the only way that you do you. Wait, so what do they mean? Yeah.

Look, I'm not saying vaccines cause injuries, but do you? Should I try a Tide Pod? Do you? Do you? Yeah. That's why. Do you want to? I like it as a comprehensive philosophy, you know?

It works. Makes life so much easier. Yeah. To be Switzerland in World War II? I mean, you know it's just hard we hang out all the time we don't talk about politics because we're so insanely wealthy but but just do you like it's just i don't want to bring up i don't want to bring up like real ideas up when i'm trying to bask in my millionaire existence billionaire existence whatever it is multi-billionaire yeah the rock kind of dabbled in this you know political

stance of do you while also saying that the main problem that we're facing though is woke cancel culture so yeah he was like do you but actually the real problem is that people are too mean to jordan peterson yeah do you yeah the rock is a shitty guy it turns out damn it i know it was happening slowly slowly slowly you know just slowly revealing himself a little bit more a little bit more i mean the cheat meals was the dead giveaway yeah fake cheat meals to be like yeah i eat like all you little piggies look at me i'm yum uh pancakes but like oh that's right you're not eating them we can tell you're not yeah anyways yeah you're you're shaking sweating pretending even pretending that you want to eat

this stuff. Remember that other one I remember a few years ago? This is my cheat meal and it was like $600 worth of sushi. Yeah, that one I believe. That feels more to me like what he would do. His cheat meal costs $600. I eat $600 of sushi.

He is not eating that much in and out. Chocolate chip pancakes. Stanley cup of salt water yeah of eel sauce i yeah i drink a stanley 40 ounce stanley quencher full of eel sauce all right we also found out something about trump over the weekend when roseanne went viral oh my god with a video from a gop fundraiser where she basically said you know don't go to college do me a favor drop out they don't teach you nothing in college email me or twitter me or whatever you call me and i'll help you with your life but you gotta get out of college because it isn't nothing but a bunch of devil worship and baby blood drinking Democratic donors. That's a direct quote.

And Jack, you should really, you should have you. Did you see the clip of her when she delivered this? She had her like hair wrapped like she was Miss Cleo. Oh, no. It's like wooden room. Oh, my. Here. I'm sorry that you already read it, but watching her, hearing her say it. I haven't seen it.

I want to see it. Pull it up. You had me at Miss Cleo. Hey, old bro. How are you doing? I'm here at Mar-a-Lago supporting Carrie Lake, and it was a fantastic evening, and our Trump is here being the DJ,

and I've just danced, and everyone's amazed. So I'm just going to say to you, please drop out of college because it's going to ruin your lives. Do me a favor, drop out. They don't teach you nothing good. Email me or Twitter me or whatever you call me and I'll help you with your life. But you've got to get out of college because it isn't nothing but devil-worshipping, baby-blood-drinking Democrat donors. That's what college is.

Wait, I'm sorry. Trump is DJing? That's the only thing I got from that. And now we know what they're all drinking. Yeah, exactly. Man, he has to ruin DJing. I kind of enjoy that. Then she's like, and they were all amazed.

She completely glossed. She almost looked like a jerk-off fan. And I've just danced and everyone's amazed. Like she completely glossed. It was like, yeah, like she almost jerked off. And I've just danced and everyone's amazed. I think she, I couldn't tell if people were amazed by her dancing or by the Trump being the DJ. I think they were amazed that someone could take that, like eat that many Z bars of like Dan X and drink white wine and still be dancing somehow. And everyone is amazed. I just time fabled here from about two hours ago when i swore i asked somebody to take me home but i guess there's a video of me i'm dancing and don't

go to college because the democrats would drink your baby and then you will be a demon donor how did that video come about like obvious i feel like somebody at barlago was like roseanne come here well she's so fucked up let's get this on camera yo get her to send your cousin a fucking thing about going to college dude she'll sell you anything right she's at the top she's like shouting out somebody let me hear Oh, bro. GoPro. Earl Grow. No, it was GoPro, right? I don't know.

Earl Grove, Australia. I don't know. I don't know. This is how it is with me and song lyrics, too. I just can't. But maybe it was somebody like a woke mega parent, like whose kid had like divorced them being like hey uh i i feel like if i get rosanne to tell my kid to drop out of college they'll uh they'll actually listen call me again i mean if republicans stop going to college college would be a much more enjoyable place yeah but it's not safe for them there it's not safe for them there they really it's not safe for them there. It's not safe.

Yeah, you should come by my college. Come by my college. I'll teach you all the secrets of looking directly into the sun and putting a Theragun massage wand right to your temple. And we'll just do that stuff to kind of raise our vibration so we can break out

of the woke paradigm together. Thank you. Yeah yeah go do that too much anxiety too many bad thoughts give me that fair gun so the the big takeaway for a lot of people is the idea of trump moonlighting as a dj which yeah axios immediately chased it down the intrepid reporters at axios were like okay wait, wait, what the fuck? And Trump has apparently been moonlighting as the in-house DJ at his golf clubs for years. And so then we get to, which just means he has a Spotify playlist that he makes everybody listen to.

He's like, Oh, do you want me to get my DJ? I'm going to get my DJ. Let me get my DJ booth. And he just gets an iPad and you're like, Oh fuck. And you know, it's an iPad for sure. You know, it just gets an iPad. And you're like, oh, fuck.

And you know it's an iPad. For sure. You know it's a fucking iPad. Of course it is. And he calls that his DJ. Is being a DJ still, like, make people likable? Is that what they're going for? Like, is that how he connects with the youth? DJ still got social cachet.

You know what I mean? But you got to actually rock a party. That's the only thing. But he's rocking a party. You can what I mean? But you got to actually rock a party. That's the only thing. You can't just rock in a party. You can't pull up and say you're a DJ and everyone goes, Miles, Miles, Miles. He's rocking the Republican Party. Can you rock a party, though?

Look at me with my 80s idea of being a DJ. Look, I was born in the 80s. Can this man rock a party? Can that young man rock a party, though? All right. I mean, ever since I saw We Are Your Friends, I've had a new appreciation for what it means to be a DJ. And yes, they are cool.

I do just want to take a brief look at his playlist. Yeah, some ideas. What do we got here? So he's got Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Suspicious Minds. Okay, a little bit. Plus Hello by Lionel Richie, Guns N' Roses, November Rain, Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares to You. Oh, wow.

Playing Hello and Nothing Compares to You at a party. Oh, my God. Also, Sinead O'Connor hates him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I know. He has no clue yeah all right yeah right no we will but you know that's just like to now even now she's a depressed person like you would

if anybody besides donald trump played fucking nothing compares to you at a party like everyone would just be like yo are you are you right are you, is he okay? Right, like right before, it's like, Jesus Christ, superstar. You're like, what the fuck is this guy playing? It's been seven, seven thousand fifteen days. You're like, oh no. I mean, it just,

we've seen before the dictators, like are like a lot of the time driven by an inner like sad creative like hitler was a failed artist it's just so funny to realize that trump is like a failed you know musician comedian right dj like that's no he's just this like sad emo bitch who like yeah wants everybody to like feel his feelings and it's it's so wild to me like we could stop all of this if we just made him the host of the tonight show like we we could stop it all right this is all really messed up because they're turning this country into the Middle East. And meanwhile, I can't go home.

Right. Everything about it. Right. He's having such, like, you know, sad songs. That's not what a DJ. But again, that's the difference. Yeah. Is it me you're looking for oh god no we're

not like tonight it's like it's it's true but that's why i think dj is a misnomer because you have to call it for what it is it's it's fucking narcissist with the ox cable yeah that's what it is and that's my nightmare is someone like there's nothing worse than someone who's like has no self-awareness and is like, I know what the people want musically. You're like, no, dude, you don't even know what you don't even know what the fuck you don't even know what drives you because you lack any kind of introspection. And then he puts on the Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown duet version of It's a Man's Man's Man's World? What? What the fuck is that? And then into Macho Man by fucking the Village People?

Macho, macho man. We've all seen him dance to that one where he does the jerking off two guys hand motion. Yeah, he's got... I'm actually doing two shake weights, actually. Doing tricep isolation workouts. Are we really gearing up for another Trump election slash presidency? Hey, Zara, like I said, if enough people say, hey, November, take your time. Take your time.

Take your time. But who knows? Yeah. And we might, who knows? Maybe we'll be doing this podcast in some kind of political prison in a few years. Hey. You know, we'll do it from the live audience. we'll be doing this podcast in some kind of political prison in a few years hey you know we'll do it be fun releasing it via like pigeon you know just like mini discs yeah right just talking to bricks yeah talking to bricks or who knows or maybe the rock will be president and then we'll all have to we'll be in our mandated steroid use classes together. Right. To make sure that we have the strongest army in America in the world. This is the worst day for me to come off Molly.

No serotonin, no serotonin left. Help me. Don't worry, folks. I'm pumping and dumping my breast milk. Okay, that's good. You're like, yeah, but then, yeah, never mind. Pumping and dumping it down my gullet. I was going to say, like, is there any leftover MDMA, traces of MDMA that you could then synthesize? That sounds like a really grim question.

And just for full disclosure, this is a bit. This is a bit. Okay, so I'm not asking if you can. Yeah, we're not condoning any of this you're not actually doing molly and pumping your dummy but you know how hardcore i am about taking care of my baby i would pump and dump my breast milk not because there's traces but because it might give her reflux yeah wow yeah if you. I'm on top of it. The wrong shellfish? What do you eat

that causes that in the baby? Reflux? This is a very controversial topic, Miles, because a lot of LCs will tell you that these things don't give the baby reflux. That actually other things are going on, like a tongue tie.

But pediatricians believe that it is something in the mother's breast milk causing the reflux they will blame your coffee they will put you on a reflux diet and then they'll tell you you know babies are just gassy right so wait is there an answer it's like so it's this thing where like lactation consultants and then pediatricians have differing views and but then i mean how are you going to figure it out because by the time you get down to it your baby's digestive system has developed right you're now past that milestone and now they're fine and you don't know what did it yeah right right right yeah and also your brain kind of forgets a lot of the worst parts of like

that first year yes but the thing to remember was that you failed as a mom right right right yes yes right forget the reason why just hold on to that well there's so much there is so much like fucking like pro breast milk sort of propaganda that like it definitely makes anyone who isn't producing enough breast milk feel completely less than because it's like totally what do you mean you're not producing oh my god are you are you are you a loving parent it's like oh jesus dude relax man people are fucking people everyone's body's different yeah and if you're just joining us yes zara is a repeat guest who just had a baby yes a year ago yes and it's all she talks about yeah rightfully so.

Beautiful child. Thank you. One of the best DJs. She played a remix of this Justice track I hadn't heard in a long time. And I was like, wow. She knows the hits. She likes the French EDM stuff too. She's a big Taylor Swift fan.

Yeah, Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift and Britney All right. Yeah. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift and Britney Spears. Okay. Wow. Yeah. My kids were into the Beatles when they were very young and then don't remember any of the songs that they were into when they were like one or two. Are they like, you're lying, dude.

I wouldn't listen to this shit. I wouldn't listen to this shit. This is stupid. Who the fuck is Lucy? Why are they in the sky with diamonds? Dude, get out of here. All right,

let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close

to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And so is beyonce topping the charts number one on the billboard charts making it the biggest week of 2024 in terms of equivalent album sales i'm casey casem did y'all listen to casey's top 100 yeah man i'm old enough i'm old enough to remember Casey Kasem. Those were the days. The way he spoke, it was so, he had such a radio voice. It fucks me up. Unbelievable.

I remember one time I moved, when I moved from New York to Dayton, I was like third grade and didn't know anybody and just got real into Casey's Top 100 countdown. I was just like, oh man, what's it going to be this week, huh? That brings a tear to my eye. Hello that I just drew a face on? What'd you do? We went to Great America theme park.

Oh, yeah? I went to a baseball game. What about you, Jack? I pulled up my little radio by my bed, and I listened to Casey Kasem and wanted to see what the top songs were. I made a chart of what the top songs were. I think I can predict the next one based on what my data.

Anyways, Cowboy Carter is at the top of the Billboard's country albums chart, making Beyonce the first black woman to ever have led the top country albums list since it was created in 1964. And the inevitable racist backlash that occurred too when people are like keep country clean and you're like what what does that

do you mean we were talking about this last week i was like hey if anyone is interested in what the contribution of black americans has been to country music. Ken Burns made a fantastic documentary about it. You can see with your own eyes how this genre came to be. But the album, man, when I first, when I heard she was doing a country album, I was like, eh, it's probably not, I'm all right. Look at her hair. Yeah, like as a genre, not really for me.

I don't, I'm not like a big fan of that kind of guitar picking. But the album, again, you have to remember that Beyonce is an actual artist. And that's why she's like, I'm just going to do a bunch of cover songs. It's like, it's really good. That one track, Bodyguard, I really like. It feels like I'm listening to like Yacht Rock or something. She's Beyonce.

Wait, let me make sure it's that one. Yeah, that one. There's just like, it's, yeah yeah that one there's just like it's yeah I'm fucking with it it's literally the only time I've liked country yeah and there's a little bit of hip hop too there's spaghetti you know that shit goes hard too there's just a lot of

yeah I was listening to spaghetti Levi's jeans single handedly made Levi's stock rise 20% that's how powerful she is. Wow. Yeah. That's incredible. How can they measure that?

The stock has been trading at a certain level. That album came out at the beginning of the weekend. And on Monday morning, it was trading 20% higher. This is the fun of watching racism afoot. Because like, so Trump had this power with sales on the apprentice one time they tracked that like he's promoted pontiacs on the show they had a pontiac advertisement and then like within those two minutes they sold something like 15 000 pontiacs or something is something like that right and then everyone's like whoa why capitalism and then when it's a black woman

selling levi's even they're like scrambling like well is that really true post malone's actually on the track with her so uh i think i think we actually can't really say it's up to her it's like uh wait i'm like this is when you know capitalism is just racist right it's like capitalism is working in front of you. There's this time. Yeah, I was just, I guess, dubious because I'm like, you always hear these things. And I'm like, it just always feels like a factoid that people put out. But it's hard for me to actually discern how that all occurs.

I mean, I get in the obvious, like when people are, you know, out there with like a specific product and you're like, oh, that thing. But then I guess with Levi's, do people still buy Levi's? They didn't before this song came out. Right, exactly. No, I still feel like I'm not trying to diminish the effect on the sales. I'm just like, oh, it's like that. Everyone's like,

oh shit, you know what I need? The jeans that everyone already has. Yes, here's jeans. Madonna did this with bras beyonce's doing it with levi's with cone bras i guess so i guess it was cool yeah i just remember that because there was this whole period of time where the bra it was all about what looks natural and right right right bra lists and then madonna came out with the cone bras and then all of a sudden there was like new structured bras and balconettes and oh and now it's levi's i still can't find the cone bra anywhere though behind you miles it's behind you oh the cone bra is coming from inside the house i had it in my vagina yeah i love that just as an example of ceo brain a quote from levi's

ceo i would just say that denim is having a moment and the levi's brand is having a powerful moment around the world so you know powerful moment this company just got lucky by being name checked in a beyonce song but he's like, we're kind of surfing a wave right now. Yeah. Yeah, we're doing so good. Most people know to never buy our products at full price on our website because we have a sale pretty much every three fucking days. We've actually been on sale since the late 70s.

So, yeah. Have you noticed, though, there's so many websites like that where if you look, you're like, like, if there's not a sales, like, don't buy it, man. Because this shit goes on sale, like, like clockwork all the time. And thankful price. Miles, that's so insensitive. It's because of all the shoplifting and the crime wave. Won't you think of the poor CEO of Levi's? Yeah.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's the crime waves. It's the crime waves. My bad. My bad. That's on CEO of Levi's? Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's the crime waves. It's the crime waves. My bad. My bad. That's on me. That's on me.

They had to close their web doors. Yeah. We have to hire web security guards to watch you as you shop online because we don't know what you're going to do. If you're going to walk out of here with 40 pairs of jeans. We don't know. By the way, code 40 pairs. Yeah. Oh, did you listen did you like the blackbird cover too did you see how like paul mccartney also had to like

come out and be like it's good without really with her yeah everybody you chill the fuck out that's the other thing with this album like that's the other part that i think is interesting though too just because she's she like people like it's a cover or something it's like yeah she said that and also do you hear dolly parton be like i bless i hereby bless this album with my life force you're like great try beyonce you can't fool us wait what meanwhile the cover to fast car everyone's just like all drooling over yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was one of the best performances I've ever seen. Okay, not really because of him,

but he made it happen. Right. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man. What a hero bringing the song back. What a hero. Well, speaking of heroes bringing the song back, another person who's crossing over into new realms, Tucker Carlson just opened for kid rock for

some reason also like it seems like a lot of conservative luminaries are just like showing up drunk on the job uh because he and musically yeah because uh he just came out and was like kind of giving a rambling possibly drunken speech from a lectern that was basically about how Kid Rock asked him to be his opener. And he responded. There's a lectern at a Kid Rock concert? Oh, yeah. That's how fucking lit the show is.

Dude, they bring a lectern out. You're like, yo, who's this fucking opener, dude? I'm not trying to get fucking talking to amazing is it it was six minutes wow i don't know like it seems in pot like obviously you know i i can't i just can't imagine what he said because the quotes we have is but i don't play an instrument kid rock said that's okay all right so, do we have the audio? I mean, this is one section of it, of people being like, this is how fucked about him being, or I guess America being fucked up in beautiful. Anyway, here's a moment of it.

The country they tell me about on the internet is fucked up. Why is he there the country that i experience when i walk through this crowd as a cis white male with uh millions and millions of dollars with yacht rock hair in my town of 100 people in a rural area because i because i bought the whole town to make sure i live only when you're 100 people go on i'm, I'm sorry. It's a beautiful country. Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course, of course. This is how well the Republican Party is doing. Every time you see a Republican pundit idiot

asshole mouth face, you're like, aren't you supposed to be in jail? Right, yeah, potentially. Aren't like 100 people right now trying to sue you separately i don't know look yeah you know i i chew these nicotine pouches that i keep telling everybody about that i'm i think i might be wildly he's got a lectern it's right there i'm just curious what what is his oh it has a seal podium Let me just hear what his first words are.

You're not, it didn't feel like your heart was in it. Kendrick really kind of got you. And then he apologized to Kendrick at his show, which I don't, you know, whatever.

He basically said, you know what? People were gassing me up, telling me I should have released something. I released it. It's really not how I feel. And I shouldn't have done that. My bad. And a lot of people are clowning him because they're like, why even put a response out if you're going to apologize?

This is the least hip hop shit ever. Just don't even respond. And Roy Wood Jr., a lot of people talk about, but Roy Wood Jr., past guest at Roy Wood Jr. A lot of people talk about Roy Wood Jr. Past guests at Roy Wood Jr. Did tweet a quote. BET Awards got to have an apology slash compliment cipher this year. Because there's always a cipher for the new MCs. And now they'll be like, yeah, let's change it.

Let's do something different. Yeah. But apparently Drake is still in the laboratory. And apparently will release some kind of response. But I think I don't think you should try it because Kendrick, I'd say just as an artist, is is better is better than you. You sell more albums, Drake, but I believe lyrically as an artist, Kendrick has the edge. But again, that's just this washed millennial from Los Angeles's opinion. And I could be biased because it's KDOT all day over here.

Yeah. Another comment on the same thing. Elsie, not Elise, tweeted, J. Cole realized he was conflicted, misusing his influence, abusing his power, full of resentment. A resentment that turned into a deep depression. Because J. Cole shit on to pimp a butterfly.

That is the line. Damn. I also like Stone Cold Jane Austen's tweet, When the moon hits your knees and you mispronounce trees, sycamore. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find us on Twitter

We link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode as well as a song that we think you might enjoy mom what song you think people might i got man there's this artist this young artist from the uk from london loli young who i'm i fuck with her shit so i just love her music a few weeks ago or

maybe a couple months ago we wrote out, I recommended one of her tracks. It was called Conceited. And I described her, I think back then, as like if Adele was like smoking cigarettes and doing drugs in high school. Like this is kind of the artist she would turn into. Now I'm kind of being like she, if I want to give a different example, it's like a Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen kind of combo of like playful lyrics, but also really great voice and just like has like a swag about her. She has like, she has a new album coming out and like just releasing songs drip by drip.

So the song that I want people to listen to is Big Brown Eyes. And it's actually, there's an EP called Big Brown Eyes where there's like four other tracks or three, three other tracks on it. And it's due to the production on EP called Big Brown Eyes where there's like four other tracks or three other tracks on it. And it's, dude, the production on it is just like dope, man. It's just super, I don't know. It's got that, I don't know, man.

It's just got something to it. Yeah. A bit of a genocide qua. Genocide qua. I just like that the first words, like the first lyrics in this song are, you can eat shit. But it's done melodically. lyrics in this song are you can eat shit but it's done melodically and it's like that's it's catchy because like when the first like you can eat shit and you're like yep i'm hooked so anyway big brown eyes lola young get into it because i'm telling you i feel like she's gonna have a
