Did you guys see the person on the Discord who was like, has anyone else noticed that
Jack looks like Luigi Mangione?
Dan, we have, you know what's wild?
We were saying that the second that fucking that smiling came out in our group chat, we
were all like, Jack, I took that as the ultimate compliment.
It's because the eye, you got, yeah, you got healthy eyebrows.
You know what I mean? Very symmetrical face.
Okay. Okay.
You know what I mean?
But I don't have that smile. This is me trying to smile at a barista.

Hello, the internet and welcome to Season 376, Episode 2 of Their Daily Psych Ice.
Yeah!
It's a production of iHeartRadio.
It's a podcast where we take a deep dive into American shared consciousness and it's Wednesday,
February 19th, 2025.
It's, let's see, it's National Vet Girls Rise Day.
This is for, I think, veterans,
but this country no longer acknowledges people
who have fought in wars on behalf of the United States.
So I guess we'll just put that to the side.
It's also National Arabian Horse Day,
National Lash Day, and National Chocolate Mint Day.
If you like mint chocolate chip ice cream,
that's what the photo is, it's your day, okay?
I love mint chocolate.
I think of chocolate mints, I think of the-
Andes.
Andes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, those are good.
Andes.
Yeah.
And also, sometimes, occasionally,
when you're leaving a restaurant,
instead of having the wrapped red and white disc peppermints.
Oh, the green and brown.
They have the green and brown.
Yeah.
The green and brown Junior Mint M&Ms, essentially.
A little thicker candy coating than the M&Ms.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Ooh, those hit after a nice casa lupita.
I was going to say casa lupita.
Did you just eat in the Midwest in 1989 or something?
I did.
Because those I felt like.
That is what I'm calling back to.
Yeah.
Where is Casa Lupita?
Dayton, Ohio.
It was.
OK.
It was a chain restaurant that I assumed was on par with Chi-Chi's
and other Mexican fine dining establishments that were chains
and come to find I've never seen it again.
Oh, yeah.
They had a cheese enchilada that a nine-year-old Ohioan would die for.
Perfect. Just ketchup and American cheese.
Somebody with a very refined palate.
Right.
Raised on Skyline Chili at the mall, you know?
All right.

All right.
Well, Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a brilliant anti-racism
educator, activist, writer, creator of the acclaimed podcast, White Homework.
It's Tori Williams-Douglas!
Tori!
Hi!
Extended scream.
Happy Black History Month. I'm scream for Tori.
Happy Black History Month.
I'm happy to be here.
Well, let me just look at my Google Calendar really quick.
Oh, no, no, no.
Not coming up.
Terrible news.
No, we're not looking at Google.
I've switched to Duck.co.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Changed my default settings so I don't have to, yeah.
Isn't it funny the things that are nudging us over the line
to finally like disconnect from these evil companies?
Like it's like, I know all this stuff before.
And then I'm like, that's it, the maps plus the lack of
pride months and history months that have gone bye bye.
No, I now use Apple Maps.
Huh?
I know because Apple's a good guy. I use Apple Maps.
I use Waze, a company from that is owned by Google.
So we're good here.
We're all maps that people were like, other examples of places that haven't
made the switch. I was like, I've never heard of these fucking things.
I mean, Bing didn't.
Bing, oh wow, Bing.
Yeah, interesting.
Do they have maps?
I don't know.
How could they not?
I mean, this should maybe just motivate us
to use paper maps again.
I mean, I used to do that as a youth.
So I might as well bring that skill back.
Yeah, you kept it in your car.
Yeah, the Thomas guide for-
The Thomas guide, yep.
I like DuckDuckGo because when I'm making a sacrifice
around on ideological grounds,
I like to feel like I'm making a sacrifice.
You know, like the thing is objectively worse
in most ways.
It's harsh out there for sure.
A proton male, you know, can't really search it.
Just got me one of those. Just got me one of those, yep. A proton mail, you know, can't really search it that well.
Just got me one of those.
Just got me one of those.
Yup.
Yeah.
Not great, but why should it be?
You know?
Taking one for the team, you guys.
Turns out a lot of the things that were like greasing the wheels of our
applications was like their desire to rob you blind.
Listen, listen, Jesus had his cross,
Frodo had to carry the ring.
We have proton mail.
Wow, I never thought about it like that.
Yeah.
Now I feel good.
I know.
I feel like Jesus Smeagol.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a photo shop.
Oh, good. It's a good thing we're not, yeah, it's a good thing we're not using AI, right? Because that'd be funny. Oh, God. It's a good thing we're not using AI, right?
Because that'd be funny.
Oh, God.
Honestly, someone, yeah, that is a good one.
Just replace anything with Jesus with Smeagol now.
I want to see him.
I want to see Smeagol washing the feet of the tax collector.
I want to see it all.
Oh, Mary Magdalene washing Smeagol's feet with her hair.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
We can make this really weird, guys.
Like real weird, real fast.
I can see Smeagol being so weird
trying to resurrect Lazarus and shit.
You're my cat.
And they're like, you know what?
Can I get in there?
Yeah, they're like, if anything, maybe we don't,
maybe, I think Lazarus would have wanted it this way
rather than have this freaky dude
with a loin cloth all hovering over him.
Was Jesus walking around in a loin cloth
or is that just because one of his most iconic moments
happened on the cross in a loin cloth?
No, Smeagol in the loin cloth.
Smeagol walking around.
Smeagol always walking around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it.
Who came first?
And then like on the cross, it fits.
It's the right aesthetic.
Yeah, but for some reason,
I don't want to see Smeagol on the cross.
And that was an aesthetic choice.
It was an aesthetic choice.
I'm going to take off my pants.
Sir, you don't have to do that before the crucifixion.
No, no, I want to be up here in my loincloth.
We have talked before about some theories being floated
that Jesus had a foot thing.
And I had forgotten the story about Mary Magdalene
washing his hair, washing his feet with her hair. Washing his hair with her feet would be
other direction. That would fully be like, yo, Jesus couldn't escape the fucking rumors if that
happened. He had her washing his damn hair with her feet.
The fuck is wrong with him?
I don't know, bro.
He, he bailed me out of my party, man.
I didn't have enough wine and food.
But I suspect that like, there's lots of evidence of the foot fetish thing that I
just don't know the Bible well enough to know, but yeah, the hair foot thing is like, that, that feels like, you know, usually he's like,
no, no, no, he's always the one who's like, no, no, no, no, no.
Like I serve you.
But then when it comes to like washing his feet, washing his feet with her hair, he's
like, yeah, okay, we can do this.
Yeah.
Usually, yeah, usually he's like, nope, I'm, yeah.
Yeah, get in between those toes.
Jeff, you know so much about the Bible. Is this because of Miles?
He's also a tortured Catholic.
Okay.
I am a tortured Catholic.
Yeah.
All right.
I just, yeah, I had Luther in school just crammed in my brain from kindergarten to eighth grade and
then switched to Catholicism for high school. And I was like, y'all are fucking strange.
Oh, God, that's weird.
Got it all, you know?
Got it all.
Full spectrum.
Then I remember a couple of times we go to Presbyterian youth group because a bunch of
kids I knew in middle school were going and I was like, what the fuck?
Y'all don't even swear in here?
The fuck is this shit?
We are 12.
We should be saying the F word, okay?
Is that real?
What?
Saying that word?
Yeah, no, I did.
Presbyterian school.
I went to a, no, I went to a Presbyterian like youth group thing.
Cause like other kids, I knew like kids who weren't fully like on some Jesus stuff.
We're like, yo, it's fun, dude.
We do like scavenger hunts around the city or whatever.
And I went and like everything.
Not fun.
No, no's no no no not even with like the very
Like this scavenger hunt was like tell a stranger. They're a good like it was like weird like this wasn't fun
It was like doing like Christ stuff out in the open. Okay. Yeah
With your hair with your hair that is is difficult for those of us with short hair.
Yeah.
At the time, I think I was recruited.
I had very long, luscious hair.
Good, great for feet washing.
So anyway.
We need somebody to do the foot washing.
Tori.
Yes.
It's great to have you here.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
Trump's just like kind of sampling the studio space a little bit, like, you know,
in terms of which dictators to like cozy up to.
And this weekend he was on his Napoleon shit.
So we'll talk about that a little bit and get to see a clip of Fox News, uh,
being really, really into it.
Really into his appearance at the Daytona 500. We'll talk about the, uh, MAGA getting mad at Tom Hanks for a nine year old
SNL joke over the weekend.
They really just have it out for him.
And there's just really like Tom cruise or Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks.
Yeah, they just, they won't, they want to, or you mean Tom has it out for Mac or
yeah, this guy just won't leave the room. Tom Hanks? Tom Hanks, yeah. They just, they want to- Oh, you mean Tom Hanks? They want to be mad at him.
Has it out for Mac?
Or, yeah, this guy just won't leave them alone.
Oh, yeah, he was part of the Q, he was in the Q conspiracy for-
Oh, yeah, Tori.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, thank you.
Oh, yeah.
It's all coming back now.
Oh, now you remember, Tori.
Okay.
Now I remember.
Convenient, convenient.
Yeah, I think probably he was a little too close to the pandemic and there's been a Now you remember, Tori. Okay. Now I remember. Convenient, convenient. Yeah.
I think probably he was a little too close to the pandemic and there's been a lot of
articles, long reads lately speculating that like the pandemic is what radicalized all
these young people.
I think it was their bad brains, but I don't know.
We'll see.
But he was proximal to the beginning of the pandemic.
So one coin in the bucket for that theory.
Before we get to any of that shit, Tori, we do like to ask our guest, what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
I have been searching.
I love Lord of the Rings.
I'm just a huge fan.
And so I... Okay. Yeah. It's coming Rings. I'm just a huge fan. And so I, uh huh.
Yeah. It's coming back.
It's coming back around.
It's all coming back.
Uh, so, and I, this is, this is interesting because like my, yeah, Tasmania outside of Australia.
Oh, it's a, it's a state.
It's a, do they call them states?
What do they call them?
In province? What do they call them in province?
What do they call it?
No, it's part of Australia.
It's an Australian state, whatever the equivalent is.
It's an island state, it's considered a state, yes.
Yeah, and so I'm pretty anti-Australia
because yeah, I think that there are a lot like,
I'm conflating things here.
I'm really sorry.
I'm conflating my like over, my, my overrated is Australia.
My thing I've been Googling is Tasmania because they get a carve out, they get a special exemption
from being part of Australia for me personally, because it's got like really cool, kind of
like New Zealand got like really cool mountains and water and like how did this get here and like how was this originally populated? I don't know
I'm very interested in Tasmania
So I'm trying to like learn more about it because I would never go to Australia personally no offense guys
I hope this is a safe space for me to be talking shit about Australia
You're getting canceled what's going on? What's going on with your, with your dislike of Australia.
Let's skip right to the over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I was skeptical at first, right?
But then I went to Japan, a lot of Australians visiting Japan.
I feel like they were, they were the loud, they were the
Americans of like Asia, right?
They were way too loud.
They were rude.
So you've just met Australians abroad.
I see.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Yes, mozzies as the Brits call them
because they're like mosquitoes.
Mosquitos.
Yeah, they're not like, yeah.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I love this.
The British are so mean.
I know, I'm like, but.
The British are so perfectly in character.
All of this is your fault, dickhead.
Little mossies, isn't it?
Yeah, this is all your fault.
Shut the fuck up.
We're all, I mean, we're also their fault.
Yes, exactly.
We're all in this shit show together.
Uh-huh, my shitty...
And okay, so I know that as an American,
I don't really have room to talk.
100%.
But I did notice that the way that Australians engage in a different culture was just very loud,
very rude, lots of assumptions,
lots of how come they don't speak English.
I was like, what is happening here?
I decided that I was going to be brave on the show and just say,
I think Australia is overrated.
Wow.
Damn.
Hit them with it.
That is great.
That's your music though.
That's your music, Australia.
Love your music.
No, I mean, this is, this is the, I think this is, uh, this is a problem.
All of these countries have that sort of come off this same tree because,
cause being Japanese, when I go to Japan, I, I notice this all the time.
And it's, it's usually Americans or Australians.
And you notice it a lot in spaces where people are being like normal.
Like, for example, you don't use you just because you can drink alcohol
in the streets, doesn't mean that every public space in Japan is like a fucking sidewalk for you to get ripped.
And on the train platforms, I always see and I notice
Australians and Americans love getting drunk as shit on a train platform and like
scream talking and I'm like, shut the fuck up.
Read the goddamn country.
You don't do this shit.
But I think that's just like-
They don't have laws because they don't have to.
They're like, we don't have to tell
people not to do this.
What's wrong with you?
Right. Yeah.
I can see, especially in a place like Japan,
that's mostly so docile and calm and tranquil.
To have that punctuated by
screaming and people crushing beer cans and just tossing them like on the sidewalk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like the bone deep white supremacy of lots of these countries around the
world like is, I think was surprising to me as somebody who was like,
man, America is really racist growing up. And then like, as an adult, you know, just not,
not being that familiar with Australia and then finding out, oh, it is there too.
Oh yeah.
In a fairly major way.
Yeah, there too, because I have made this exact point on, on the
internet before, but I do just always want to make it that it's like, oh,
just like America, not saying like Australia, you know, Americans are
really wanting to talk here, but, um, it's, it's bad there as well.
Yeah.
In ways that I was not expecting.
Just back to Tasmania real quick.
Yeah.
I did not pick for, I think because of Warner Brothers cartoon, I feel like the pop cultural
zeitgeist mindscape of Tasmania is not New Zealand. It's the outback, I feel like is what I picture.
You know, like Tasmanian devil background
is what I'm drawing on, which is usually just like dirt.
Yeah, no, it is very like outbackish for sure.
Tasmania, like the actual place
doesn't seem to have much of that.
It's very fascinating geologically to me, which not to say the outback isn't necessarily
fascinating.
It's just like, there's not a lot going on visually, I suppose.
We like mountains.
We like greenery.
We like mountains and oceans and oceans.
Like, when the mountains come up out of the ocean, that's the best
in my opinion.
And so New Zealand, great.
Puget Sound, also very cool in my opinion.
Vancouver, BC, stunning.
I'm just realizing I can add Tasmania to this list so they get a special exemption from
being part of it.
They're going to ask that you not.
The greatest trick the Tasmanian devil ever pulled was convincing billionaires that it didn't exist as a great place to move to.
They're going to ask me to don't Google me.
Could you just stop?
Could you not?
Wait, when did you go to Japan?
Oh, end of 2023.
Oh, okay.
Wait, I was there too at the end of 2023.
I know.
I know.
Yeah, I got back and I saw your
Yeah, what the heck saw you were posting
About it the heck
Yeah, I I hate I I like it's so weird
It's like made me xenophobic. I was like a japanese person because like it
I can't believe how people act in japan anymore. Like it's
Really pisses me off. Like foreigners, like tourists.
It's like the Logan, the Jake, Paul, whichever Paul brother really kicked
off that shit with his like, hair brain shit about being like, dude, you can
fuck with these people, they don't even push back, has really made it a very
appealing place for like sick people.
Like who, who truly are going there.
Like you see all the live streamers who now go there and like nuisance live streamers.
There it's wild.
I just saw a video.
This dude got his ass beat by some Japanese dudes.
And I'm like, that's not.
Oh shit.
Okay.
I think we've had it because that's usually, that's not some shit you see.
Normally is Japanese people put hands on foreigners like that. Um, yeah, it's it's happening. It's happening. And
I think especially to because the economy isn't great in Japan. And a lot of people go,
because the yen is so weak and just right the full Meanwhile, Japanese people are slowly like,
our wages haven't gone up in like fucking 20 years. Yeah. Yeah, it's very, the world's a strange place.
Strange place.
No, I'm always so, I'm sure I get pegged as American
just because like the way I dress and whatever,
even though I'm not like talking loud
or like walking around drunk or whatever,
like being a nuisance.
But yeah, I'm always like, it's just, I have so much,
anytime I'm anywhere near any kind of like westerner, I'm like, I'm always like, I have so much, anytime I'm anywhere near any kind of like
Westerner, I'm like, I'm embarrassed.
I'm speaking my head now.
I think it's one of those things too, you go abroad and you hate seeing American people.
You're like, I'm trying to get the fuck away from you.
It's mortifying.
Like, yeah, like all of these like older white people talking about like, well, you know,
they're making a lot of progress, Brandon banning abortion,
which is so great.
Like talking about the states, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can we just be on vacation and you not talk about your shitty politics?
Hey, do you want to do want to eat some poisonous blowfish, Richard?
Like literally anything is like, oh, God, it's yeah, it's being an American is mortifying.
That's what my like anti Australia thing is.
It's just projection.
Right.
Uh, what is something that, so we heard you think Australia and all its people are overrated.
Every single one.
What is something you think is underrated?
Underrated.
Oh my God.
I literally had this like sitting here and then it fell out of my brain.
This is why I have to write down writing things down writing things down. This is very very underrated
Where'd it go? Okay, we're just gonna do
Arts and crafts and being bad at things. Hey, wait, I'm puzzled you bad at
Drawing I'm bad at drawing painting
I'm all kinds of arts you should and I think that I think it's good to do those things anyway.
I can color in the lines.
I can color inside the lines like a motherfucker.
Now, don't ask me to draw.
I was drawing anything.
I was drawing the guys child and he really into planes and shit.
I tried, man, this plane.
No, there's no way.
There's no way.
How do I even fail at the most basic? I should have just done lines. I'm like, this plane, I think is so fucked up. No, there's no way. There's no way. How do I even fail at the most basic?
I should have just done lines.
I'm like, this is a, oh no,
it looks like a fucked up shoe that got all flappy.
And I would say that he doesn't care,
but my kids have a encyclopedic knowledge
of like the things I can and can't draw.
They're like, well, you can draw,
you can draw sharks and and sometimes people's faces, one out of every three times
and nothing else dead.
And I'm like, yeah, that's all I did.
Put the pen down.
You're kids.
Yeah.
Why are kids like this?
So harsh.
A lot of people who watch the YouTube videos
have complimented me on my six-year-old's art
in the background.
That's actually mine.
Yeah, those are Jack's.
That's my drawings.
So.
Jack calls them case studies.
Yeah, I see it says Jack.
Yeah, he calls them case studies for a larger work.
I don't know.
I'm like, that's very artsy you're getting.
This is actually case study number three.
Upon reflecting on flowers, I think is what it's called.
Untitled 371.
You've drawn 371 things before that?
Yeah.
Oh boy.
Yeah.
YouTube is good for if you want to, if you want to fake being good at drawing,
there's little tutorials on like how to draw an airplane and then you can show
it to your kid and be like, I'm doing this.
Fake it till you make it.
Then, you know.
Until, until the guy's child is two, is is old enough to figure out like, I'm using
paper.
What is this?
Nothing.
Go on, go on child.
Enjoy my drawings.
Now the saddest Vermeer ever.
Oh my God.
The saddest Vermeer.
Isn't Vermeer the one who like copied his paintings off of a mirror?
So oh really?
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know about this.
That's the only way that somebody could have somebody with no seemingly no talent could
have painted this so well.
Maybe he had maybe had poor vision.
So he had to get real close to it in order.
So that's why that's why the mirror worked out.
I'm not mad at you Vermeer.
We got to do what we got to do, bro.
Nobody looking at us.
Yeah, we got to do what we got to do.
All right, let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about the news.

Do you remember what you said
the first night I came over here?
How goes lower? I met Santi at a luau party in October. Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here?
How goes lower?
I met Santi at a luau party in October.
I'm Santi.
Damien.
Oh, it was bizarre.
The guy just disappeared one day.
Santi has been missing ever since.
The hookup.
What is that?
I'm solving a mystery through sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now?
Like, no matter how hard I try, all roads lead to...
The hookup?
You think it's causing people to turn aggro?
I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to-
Yeah, that's... a word for it.
This is such terrible representation, I'm so sorry.
Poppers?
These aren't just... any... poppers.
Mama always used to say,
God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex.
No.
But my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either.

Scott Galloway.
How do we rewire our relationship with money? Because most of us have a stressful relationship
with money.
You want to be good at money, put down the facade and start talking to people about their
investments, how much money they make, what they do with their money, how they save money.
What I tell young people is you can have it all.
You just can't have it all at once.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever

And we're back.
And I did not pay much attention to what Donald Trump was up to this weekend.
At the Daytona 500?
Yeah, I know. I somehow watched every second of the broadcast of the Daytona 500 without catching the fact that...
That was Trump.
No, I don't watch the Daytona 500 because I'm not American.
But he opened the race by riding the back of a limousine around the Daytona 500 track
and then also made some overtly dictatorial proclamations on social media, posting, he who
saves his country does not violate any law.
Damn.
Take that Chuck Schumer.
Boom.
Take that.
Did you hear what he just said?
Anyone who saves his country does not violate any capital L law.
Love the, love the random.
Capital L.
Okay.
Indiscriminate capitalization.
Yeah. He came up with that,
I think too, because he tweeted it, I think.
He who saves this country does not violate any law,
which was attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Oh, fuck. See, I don't know that guy.
He's one of the good guys, right?
In history?
Yeah.
He's seen as a good guy, I think.
Based on the Joaquin Phoenix film, I think he was like just kind of a crafty little dude
getting after it out there.
Yeah. Also, he couldn't be that bad. He inspired Abba to make a song called Waterloo.
Waterloo.
Yeah.
So it does predictably have a much stupider origin. It's not an actual Napoleon quote.
It was started with a conservative commentator, Logan Hall, posting an image of Napoleon.
Is that, wait, hold on.
Is that different than Logan Paul?
There's another guy.
There's also Paul.
Okay.
There's a guy called Logan Hall also.
Their conservative commentator and influencer generator is just stuck on Logan Ball.
Oh, Lamello's cousin.
Yeah.
Lamello's cousin, Logan.
Yeah.
Logan Ball, of course.
But he posted the quote on Truth Social,
and then Trump just took it from that.
It was originally a quote from a Napoleon movie
that came out in 1970 called Waterloo,
starring Rod Steiger as Napoleon.
That's one of those names that I was like,
okay, and then I'm gonna watch the clip and I'll be like,
oh, Rod Steiger, of course.
And I watched the clip, I was like,
I don't know who the fuck this guy is.
Wait, so I love that again. Now watch the clip. I was like, I don't know who the fuck this guy is. Wait. So I love that again.
The it's so off.
It's not even a real quote.
And then it's from a fucking movie.
From a movie.
About Napoleon.
Be like, yeah. All right, dude.
I'm send that, send that along because they
think I'm doing some kind of unconstitutional nonsense.
I'm just saving the country.
That's right. Oh, man.
Then taken by a conservative influencer,
stripped of context,
put with a painting of Napoleon,
and voila, history is written.
I was really hoping that the quote was from Napoleon Dynamite.
Yeah.
What if Trump just fucking posted,
I bet I could throw this
football clear over the mountains.
And you're like, he's got some real uncle Rico.
Yeah.
Oh, 100%.
Tori, isn't your child, you got to, you have a Napoleon enthusiast?
I do.
Yeah.
It was, it was a long, it was a long, hard couple of, it was a pandemic.
The pandemic and the entire pandemic was Napoleon stories
and hearing about Napoleon and going as Napoleon for Halloween.
And, yeah, which was, he was, he was a very cute little Napoleon, I will say.
But it took a while to kind of, uh, try to talk him down.
Although I was successful, uh, from the idea of having, you know, having a
dictator who's who just like wants the best for the country and like wants to
do all these good things for the people.
And so why wouldn't you give me all the power?
I want to make the country great.
Right.
Yeah.
It's very appealing to eight year old boys, uh, and apparently to Trump.
So they have that common.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like my reaction to this is kind of the same one that you probably had
where you're like, of all the world famous European dictators, like,
not Stalin, it's not Hitler.
Like those would be really, how do you, as a, as a parent deal with your,
you're like your child being like, I love Stalin.
Hey, I know you like to play.
Do you like this Generalissimo Franco guy?
You want to try him out a little bit?
No.
For good measure.
No.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, what's this Mussolini doing in here?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
Okay.
So my kid has, has done a pretty big swing, but there was that moment where it was like,
okay, but capitalism sucks.
So Stalin, he also did that.
And we're like, no, no, no, no, no, keep going.
Keep going.
We're not stopping here.
Keep reading.
This is not your stuff.
Keep reading.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I mean, for whatever it's worth, Trump will never get to this point because he
hasn't read read but you know
He's reading the Communist Manifesto right now a little older a little wiser. Okay, trying to learn some stuff
You know, it's it's a process. Yeah, thank you. Get him get him on that fan on next, you know some friends
But now you got now you got a stool going. Yeah
Now you're cooking. Mm-hmm. Anyway, um, no, this is not, this isn't terrifying at all.
I do love that, like the right will just constantly blast out stuff that like
attributing things to the wrong people.
Like this was like George Washington praying at whatever it was, like the
Delaware crossing, the Delaware or like, this is the prayer.
Didn't Mike Johnson a couple months ago do like, this is the prayer of like, Thomas Jefferson, who was not really even a theist to speak of.
Right, right.
It's like, he read this every day.
No, he didn't.
And they just, it doesn't matter.
Like, my thing that I keep coming back to is it's like, we had this for decades.
It was like the marketplace of ideas and you gotta put your ideas out there.
Gotta compete in the marketplace of ideas. And it got to put your ideas out there, got to compete in the marketplace of ideas.
And it's like, this is the marketplace of reality now.
Like, nevermind ideas.
It's like, what actually happened and what didn't
is constantly up for debate.
And Trump, I think, contributes to that
on a pretty much daily basis, whether or not he's in office.
It's like, there's like this very, like elementary school logic that's applied
where it's like, well, if that historical figure said it, then it has to be okay.
Because they're in there from history, you know, like in the same way, like
they have like that fake MLK endorsement, like, or in the lead up to the election.
And like, bro, this is a fake ass.
If it, what the fuck are y'all talking about?
And they're like, well, I mean, I'm okay.
Maybe MLK said it.
Yeah. What are we fucking doing?
Yeah, it's good.
Thomas Jefferson did.
Okay. Yeah.
I mean, luckily though,
the Sika fans love this very odd display of power.
It is just interesting timing before we get to the Sika fans because this is like as they're going over to Europe and being like, by the way, you all work for us now.
And your only problem is that you're not friendly enough to Nazis in the right wing.
And we're Team Putin. So take it easy.
All right. See you later. Take it.
Nice. No. Yeah. Cool.
All right, man. Great talk. Great talk. Great talk.
We'll we'll head on out now. Take it easy. All right, see you later. Take it easy. You've been nice. No? Cool. All right, man.
Great talk.
Great talk.
Great talk.
We'll head on out now.
Yeah, that's also, oh, god.
It's all happening so quickly.
Of all the times to be quoting Napoleon,
this is an interesting one.
Of all the times?
Of all the times to be quoting not Napoleon.
Right.
So yeah, that weird racetrack display where he's like,
I will ride around in my armored car.
All of his goons went on TV to tell everyone how they should think of it and how cool it is,
because that's the deal now,
because that was just the sickest display of impotent power ever, ever.
So I remember that guy,
well, he was a primary
opponent, but dog burger, no, Doug, Doug Burgum, it's always
hard to remember his name. He's now the Secretary of the
Interior. He went on Fox like the next day to like, really
just lay it on thick. I just like this is that was so
amazing. And it's giving, you know, full blown, I don't know
what whatever dystopian vibes you want to put in there, I'll
let you decide. But here's dog burger talking to Fox and
friends.
When we saw him take that victory lap of sorts going
around the track.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, Steve, I watching President Trump in the beast,
leading the Pescar, leading a field of the most talented drivers in the world,
kicking off the entire NASCAR season for America.
When he was doing that, it reminded me of how he's actually leading the world right now.
I had the opportunity to be with him with Prime Minister Modi from India,
with the Prime Minister of Japan.
And the world is looking to president Trump for his leadership.
Uh, and, uh, he's out in front and everybody's following his lead.
And wow, is that great for America and great for the world?
I mean, that's great for the world.
You know, obviously he's out there in armored Carl, literally going in circles
over and over again, going absolutely nowhere.
Yeah.
There are other directions you could have taken that metaphor.
Yeah.
Just, just leading people round and around on the road to nowhere.
But it looks really fucking cool.
Then he goes on, he keeps amping it up.
He's like, Oh man, the stuff he's doing now, he's, he's on it.
He's found another gear.
I just liked the idea that because everyone's looking at him, that he must be like leader.
Like it's like, yeah, everyone looking at him, the way people in the room with a monkey might
follow the lead.
If the monkey picked up a handgun and like looked, look at him like a monkey that just picked up a
handgun.
Uh, and they're all like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
They're all eyes on him.
Must be good.
Must be good because people are looking right.
Yeah, exactly.
Made you look logic of a adolescent bully or just saying like, I mean, well, they
were looking like it was in disbelief.
Yeah, but they were looking, even though it was, they were aghast.
It doesn't matter.
He goes on to continue to, uh, you know, demonstrate how, how loyal he is to the leader.
uh, you know, demonstrate how, how loyal he is to the leader.
I got elected, uh, for the first time, the same time President Trump did back in November of 2016, working with him as a governor then, I mean, he was, he was, uh, courageous during his first term,
but this time he's fearless. He's operating at a next level. He's had a different gear.
And whether you take a look at things like, uh, last Friday signing. He's had another year, just like ending democracy. You know what I mean? He's had a different gear. Uh, and whether you take a look at things like, uh, last Friday signing. He's had another year, just like ending democracy.
You know what I mean?
He's found a whole nother level.
Uh, it's, it's really awesome.
I want the person who's piloting the ship of the most powerful military in
the history of the world to be fearless.
Yeah.
That's what I want him to be.
Also, if you notice his hair is pretty wet and greasy, that's because he washed
Trump's feet with his hair.
Oh.
Just like the grease from his feet, he actually can't even wash it out anymore.
He's like, yeah, I don't know.
He's so greasy as a person.
Go with the slick back now.
I guess permanently, permanently.
But yeah, obviously people within the administration aren't the only ones who are falling in line. Again, there's always something happening. Metta recently, we found out they also wanted to remind Trump that they are also very ready to bend both knees and bow prostrates before the leader. When he pulled like Metta pulled an ad on their platform that was critical of the fascist takeover. This is a report from Muskwatch said,
quote, the ad links to an online petition which has received
roughly 95,000 signatures calling for a quote, massive
public outcry demanding US lawmakers take action against
Musk and Doge before more damage is done. And if you look on
Metta's ad library, you can kind of see like why things were, you know, taken off or not.
They claim that this ad violated its rules on quote, unacceptable business
practices. And you're like, Oh, I'm sorry, like, unacceptable business practices,
according to Metta, prohibits advertisers from misleading people into purchasing
or sharing sensitive information, exaggerating health-related benefits, and
touting deceptive financial benefits?
So the ad must have been rife with fucking lies.
Here, let me read it really quick.
This was the main text I think that they have there at odds with, quote, a single individual
now controls sensitive US data, risking our national security, urge Congress to enforce
strict oversight.
Holy shit, man.
Unacceptable business.
We dodged a bullet there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What are they adding?
Yeah.
What were they thinking?
What were they thinking?
So yeah, it's-
Healthy democracy crosses the line.
It's just you're over, you're touting the, the benefits of a healthy
democracy and that's just not real.
Right. And then the Washington Post also pulled an ad recently, too, that was critical.
So it's...
Oh, boy.
They are really...
It's bad.
They're really...
Yeah.
What do we think the chances are there's like a free election next time?
Like, not good, right?
Four years or two years?
I don't think it's good either way.
No, like there's no way.
I, not with the shit they're doing where if you think you can like kick a bunch of
people off these like safety net programs and be like, yeah, then there, there won't
be any kind of political backlash to anyone for this.
Yeah.
I don't, that's very hard to believe.
I'm like, you'd have to, if you're strategizing, well, how do we take away
billions from people that are keeping them alive?
Well, then we have to make sure they like, we have to nullify their opinion
in a, in an election, meaning we just have to do whatever the fuck we can to
make sure these people can't vote or we can manipulate the outcomes of it.
Just seems like it's worse than people are able to like wrap
their mind around at this moment.
Like it's just the inability to speak freely, the lining up of every kind of,
you know, barrier of, of any consequence and the complete absence of the
democratic party at this moment in any like effective way feels a lot
Just a lot stranger and like further further down the path than like people
I think people are just like yeah, well still got to go to work in the morning, which true, you know
Right. I think that like the trickle that I'm this is this is because of what they're doing
I think is fucking with the economy. So I think that's gonna hit people first
Sure my theory anyway, right? Um
Because it's like firing all these people with all of these
Expertise is going to cause problems even if it hasn't caused any problems quite yet
Like like like structural problems, right or like economic process like system-wide problems, right? Or like economic problems, like system-wide problems,
right? Obviously causing problems for individuals at this point, we're seeing that people are dying.
But I think that we're going to get that. That's going to hit before we get to the polls and
whether or not they respect the outcomes of the election or somehow try to manipulate those outcomes.
I mean, it's like, if it's true that like Elon Musk and his little, you know, very strange
little boy squad have like access to everything, then yeah, what's the, I think, I don't know,
it's hard to say if people are going to be like, what's the point in even voting?
Like why bother?
Because-
Sure. Will they have to even cheat?
Right. Exactly.
When the Democratic Party has bent the knee and Trump is like, why one knee?
Why the singular knee?
Why not both?
You should get a double knee.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Seems weird.
Seems weird, guys.
I think it's weird. It seems weird, guys. It seems weird and bad. I think it's weird. Yeah, well, I think it's just so hard to fathom
that the order of things is completely gone.
And I think that's just, whether it was just or not,
it's just like, that's the momentum that's been carrying
for the last few decades.
And to be like, dude, I think that shit's
fucking cooked right now.
Yeah.
It's like kind of like this thing where it's like, well, I need a few more
things to make me believe that it is.
I know what they're saying out loud means it's over.
But now it's like the ramifications of that are now I think on their way.
And that's when you'll start seeing things like more fucking preventable
incidences, whether that's like through
negligence or actual malice or just the inefficiencies that, that come up from
doing this thing, cause like, they're definitely like, they run the government,
like people, you know, like anyone has worked jobs where people at the top have
no idea what other people do at the company.
And then they're like, yeah, they got to go.
And you're like, are you serious, dude?
Everything will fucking fall.
I know you don't think that is an integral part,
but I'm telling you, everything will fall apart
if that person doesn't work here anymore.
Like everything.
And yeah, no, we're fine.
Like it's working fine.
And it's just one person.
What could happen?
And I feel like there are going to be a lot of moments
where we begin to see that.
But I don't know, I was surprised that they even rescinded the termination of
the people who were overseeing the re jiggering of nuclear warheads.
They, I guess there was a line there.
Kind of, but I think that they do the thing where they intentionally overstep
and then they go back half a step and everybody's like, Oh fuck, thank God.
Right. And it's like, we're still not back to where we started. Like, and they keep doing that over and over. And I'm wondering, like, what is that supposed to set up?
They're like, well, remember when we rehired the people that were in charge
of like all the nuclear weapons?
Okay.
Now here's my next, my follow-up act that makes it seem less fucked up.
Yeah.
It's, it's very hard to tell, but yeah, I mean, you put on the news and
they're all very much, it is, it's like, you know, it's like, you know, it's like, you know, it's like, you know, it. Yeah. It's, it's very hard to tell, but yeah, I mean, you put on the news and they're all
very much it is it's like Fox even now more than ever is truly on board with being like,
yes, whatever is whatever, whatever reality is, we're going to say the opposite.
You have Trump derangement syndrome.
If you think that it's bad that we just fired everybody who knows how to access and
control the nuclear weapons in this country.
Yeah, God, that was a sad quote too.
Not even a, that, that strange relationship between Trump and Musk on like just got even weir praying on an old senile person to just wait for them to die so they can
take all their money and then but also kind of controlling
them. So their family's like, I think that's not the one who's
thinking this stuff. Of course, it's not it's his new father
loves me.
loves me and says everything that I say should be respected
just as if it were said by him.
Are there any questions? Thank you. Moving on. But yeah, that moment was also one where
we heard Musk go off about Trump derangement syndrome.
And that's-
You haven't even signed your NDA from Christmas yet.
Yeah. Jesus.
And when will you be changing your last name? Because he doesn't want you associating with him anymore.
Yes, he told me that last night when we were in bed.
All right.
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here?
How goes lower?
I met Santi at a luau party in October.
I'm Santi.
Damien.
Oh, it was bizarre.
The guy just disappeared one day.
Santi has been missing ever since.
The hookup.
What is that?
I'm solving a mystery through sex
and haven't made a private dick joke until now?
Like, no matter how hard I try, all roads lead to...
The hookup.
You think it's causing people to turn aggro?
I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to f-
Yeah, that's a word for it.
This is such terrible representation, I'm so sorry.
Poppers?
These aren't just any poppers.
Mama always used to say,
God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex.
No, not my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either.

I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and to welcome the new year,
my podcast, The Happiness Lab,
is releasing a series of happiness how-to guides to help you in 2025. I'll distill the wisdom of
world-class experts into easy to digest actionable tips. It's about never feeling good enough. I feel
like I'm always failing. You'll learn how to handle relationships, how to be inspiring, and how
to find your purpose. We make it this big pie in the sky thing, and then of course we're all frustrated
because no one knows how to get there.
Struggling with tough emotions, we have a how-to guide.
Worried that you're not enough?
We got you.
Self-obsessed and want to get over yourself, there's a guide for that too.
The ability to approach somebody and make them experience desire for you in minutes or even
hours is a rare and rather unnecessary skill, historically speaking. The Happiest Labs how-to
season starts January 1st. Listen on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcasts. I'm Jay Shetty. My latest episode is with financial expert Scott Galloway.
If you are doing a lot of side hustles, it's very, very difficult to be great at your main
hustle. The only way you're going to build real wealth and economic security is to go
all in on one thing. That is greatness, focus. None of this matters. None of it means a f*****g
thing if you can't have deep and meaningful relationships.
Scott is a professor of marketing
at NYU Stern School of Business.
He's a bestselling author.
He has earned a massive following
through his lectures, podcasts, and YouTube channel.

How do we rewire our relationship with money
because most of us have a stressful relationship
with money.
You want to be good at money,
put down the facade and start talking to people about
their investments, how much money they make, what they do with their money, how they save
money. What I tell young people is you can have it all. You just can't have it all at
once. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.
We're back.
As mentioned, Topmega is mad at Tom Hanks because, just because I think they just like
have daddy issues and he was everybody's daddy in the nineties.
Yeah.
And so-
And my Woody.
They're just going to be mad.
But he, so he was part of the SNL 50th anniversary and three hour special that
included the black Jeopardy sketch.
Uh, and Tom Hanks reprised his role as, uh, the Trump supporting Doug.
And in the original, like this one is, uh, like remarkably, like the Doug is
actually a good guy in the end, it seems to be like the twist on the, on the sketch is like Doug gets all the
answers right.
And then like, like, I mean, Michael J specifically who like co-wrote the
sketch was like, it's kind of a sketch about how like we're all the same deep
down.
Yeah.
Doing a lot of work.
like we're all the same deep down.
Yeah.
Do a lot of work.
And seems like that was still intact.
The big joke is that like everybody's like coming together and being like, yeah, okay, and Keenan Thompson as the host character goes up to him and was like,
I'd like to shake your hand.
And Tom Hanks is like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And instinctively backs away. So it's like, we're all the same, but like, I'd like to shake your hand. And Tom Hanks is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, and instinctively backs away.
So it's like, we're all the same, but like, not really.
This guy's still racist.
And that was the button of this joke,
of this update on the sketch as well.
And Omega was like, nope, we're not that anymore.
We're the winners and we're not racism because Trump won.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's how it works.
That's how it works to the, to the Victor go the immutable defenses
against them being racist.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I forget how that quote goes.
I forget how Napoleon said it, but it's something like that for sure.
I love how they truly treated it.
Like how could they?
This is, this feels like a hate crime, said Truth Air Media. They're also claiming that he wanted a landslide, not true. But even if it was, it would seem he immediately turned the keys over
to someone doing a Hitler salute. So just, you know, what feels in the realm of fairness for a comedy show
to satirize one of his followers as possibly being racist.
Yeah. No.
And not a hate crime.
I just fucking also hate that Michael Che even is like,
well, I also kind of wanted to show that it's like,
don't do it on along those lines.
Like maybe you make it more about class or something.
It doesn't have to be this other shit to be like the mega racist might also like.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let's let again.
Yeah, man, you tried.
You tried.
Hey, I will say in that thing, though, Eddie Murphy killed it with his Tracy.
I was Tracy Morgan.
That was fucking amazing because he had he did the pout.
No, that would be Tracy Morgan's pout that he does.
I was like, damn, this is where Eddie Murphy,
you're like, you're one of the greats.
Even though you're reggae music, not the best Eddie Murphy.
Yeah.
All right, real quick.
We have the first look at Christopher Nolan's
follow-up to Oppenheimer.
It's going to be Homer's Odyssey.
It will star famous Greek,
Greek god,
Matt Damon in the role of Odysseus.
That should just feel, you know,
in a movie when they're like doing a satire and they're like,
and as Odysseus,
Matt Damon,
it does feel like a joke.
Like, and as Napoleon, Danny Devito.
Right. Right.
But, oh my God.
And they released a still a photograph of Matt Damon in costume, apparently taken
while sneaking up on him from behind.
He's like kind of looking away, like looking over his shoulder.
Yeah.
It looks like he's like a dude who's about to fart in public and just kind of
scanning his shoulders real quick to see if like, if he lets it go, if anybody.
All right.
And that might be what the Odyssey is about.
I'm not that familiar.
Um, I was not a classics major.
Oh, I'm just saying, I saw this in like another fucking reboot.
Really?
How far back are we going now?
How far back now? Is now? How far back?
Now, is it like this helmet though?
What's going on with this?
People are mad about the helmet because they said it implies that
MAGA is racist.
They're saying that it's historically inaccurate because the actual
helmets described in the Odyssey are adorned with boar husks.
And when you look at what that looked like, they kind of have like cute little top ponies.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The ponytail, the ponytail top.
Yeah, it's got like a little ponytail top that like kind of streams backwards.
I didn't know those are boar tusks in there.
Like along the side is the border.
So you hear me say boar tusks and you're like picturing something wild.
Like Viking.
Yeah.
Spiky.
And this is actually just like pretty.
It's like very pretty.
And like it's something that you could see somebody wearing, walking down like a runway in fashion week.
Oh, wow. Now, yeah, exactly. The latest from Balenciaga, the Mycenaean period collection.
You'll love the Bortus helmets, but not in a Corinthian style, I guess, which is what this other helmet is.
I didn't know. I didn't even know.
I was like, that's that's Greek mythology helmet because it looks really Roman to me.
I don't know. Like, like what they put on what they put on.
Matt Damon looks just like the Romans.
Yeah. Yeah. The Mohawk.
It's a Mohawk situation, which is they call it like the broom top or something.
Oh, OK. And they're like. Situation, which is. They call it like the broom top or something. Oh, okay.
And they're like, oh my God, Hollywood's obsessed
with the fucking broom, generic ancient broom helmet.
What is, what hair is that?
I don't get it, is it horse hair?
It looks straight up like they pulled it off
of like a push broom.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, thank you.
Yes, it looks like they just took it cut off a broom. It says, it says, rubber made at the bottom.
I don't know.
Okay.
That's what I was wondering.
Yeah.
So not authentic.
Damn, they've been around for a while.
You know, and maybe I personally will grant them a bit of historical inaccuracy if it is a matter.
The one, the boar tusk helmet looks like offensive.
Like it looks like it would be, it looks like they would play a Chinese gong as
he like showed up in it, you know?
But I like how you're, you're, you don't, the lack of knowledge around it.
She like, nah, it looks like Orientalism.
It looks like Orientalism to me.
You're like, that's.
It looks either like a high pony.
Yes.
Like it should be worn by like a Peloton trainer or Orientalism.
Neither of which I'm okay with.
This is Jazzercise or Orientalism.
I don't want it in my Homer.
No, not at all.
In my, no Homer.
Yeah, no.
It reminds me of Genghis Khan.
Like not, not, not historically accurate Genghis Khan. Cause I don't know what that is. It reminds me of like the weird Khan. Like, not historically accurate Genghis Khan,
because I don't know what that is.
It reminds me of like the weird,
we're just going to grab whatever from history,
Genghis Khan that I grew up with.
Bill and Ted's would have this helmet on Genghis Khan.
Bill and Ted's, yes.
There we go. Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is the only history that I need.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is cute, though.
I'm into it.
I could rock that.
It is cute.
I could pull that off. I do kind of love it.
I just don't know that it works as the first image of your action hero.
Fair.
Cut to Jack rocking this helmet everywhere just so he can get the jump on it.
I would actually not do this.
And then be like, oh, this?
Oh, just call swag.
Just call taking risks.
You know what I mean with my fashion? You all should look into it. Yeah. Oh, you know, just just call swag. Just call taking risks. You know what I mean with my fashion?
You should look into it.
Yeah, I mean, luckily, apparently this isn't like from they haven't
actually started shooting.
So this must have been some from some.
I want you think they were like flying like a weather balloon
of like historian outrage to be like, yeah, yeah.
They're like, how much of a shit are we going to put up?
Because it sounds like he's shooting at locations
that even Homer is referencing in the Odyssey, like Goat Island, apparently.
Locations that will be a pain in the ass because Goat Island,
it's not named that because it looks like a goat head.
It is overrun with goats.
Or that is like the sickest island, okay, in Greece.
Yeah, best island of all time. But like greatest island of all time this that's I'm like
I wonder if there's a little bit there where someone's like, alright Chris, you can go for it
Put the put the picture out see what they say cuz they're gonna like that
They know this is some foolishness putting him in that what is this? What period do you think this is?
Standing around Jesus at the cross that's think this is? Fucking it's all the it's all the guards standing around jesus at the cross. That's what period this is from
That is not the push home. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, that's why it's throwing me off
Yeah, it's maybe this will be like the early sonic eyes, you know the little
Sonic eyes that they're like, why would his eyes be that big? Oh and one solid mass
Oh his eyes and teeth wasn't it the teeth that were fucking people up to?
Yes.
He had like little like he looked like an SNL star pre when they get him switched out
for veneers, you know, like teeth are your three years.
I think Alec Baldwin called it in the special Alec Baldwin called it that Jamie Loftus
shout out the great Jamie Loftus has been on that forever.
She's been like, wait, let's see who comes back with veneers.
Cause that's who Lauren is gambling is going to be a hit.
Yeah.
Can you bring up Sarah Sherman?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tori, such a pleasure having you on the podcast.
Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff?
People can listen to my podcasts, Go Home Bible, You're Drunk and White Homework.
Oh yeah, Go Home Bible, You're Drunk.
And once a month I am on the YouTube show Skeptic Generation talking to people who
disagree with us politically, which is going very interestingly, I will say.
Yeah.
We're making a little bit of progress with One Caller,
and I feel good about it.
They're a conservative person who is Canadian.
So, you know, maybe not as conservative as here,
but like still listens to like all of the-
Conservative Canadian is an American progressive, I think.
In this case, absolutely not.
In this case, like Canada has real conservatives now.
Got the bad MAGA poisoning.
Yeah, I've seen it.
Yeah.
Thank you.
The MAGA poisoning.
I love that.
And so, yeah, that's been really interesting, but you can check that out.

Shouldn't have left you left you for a traumatic wildfire. But
anyway, we'll be back and you can step to think it. Oh, let's see some some tweets are like,
unfortunately, some blue skies with some shit on Twitter. Okay, in a panic, but this was it was
funny. At Bach x top tweeted just walk past the cockpit on this Delta flight and the pilot is a straight white dude in his 30s.
I'm going to fucking die dog.
Another one is diabetic of
enlightenment at D underscore of underscore E.
It said, my first priority at
the waterpark is always to de-center whiteness.
The second is to experience incredible thrills.
Love that.
And one more, Matt Zeitlin at Matt Zeitlin tweeted,
Miss the White Lotus premiere,
did rich people turn out to have personal foibles
exacerbated by their wealth?
Was travel revealed as less a chance to quote,
get away, but as proof that you never can.
Yeah. But that's why we love it.
That's why we love it, Matthew.
One of the works of media I liked from
at orange pulp, Paul McAllion on Twitter,
tweeted a picture of Allison Williams and said,
she would chew a season of white lotus like a pack of gum.
I think that's right.
I did not see the first episode, but we will be watching.
We'll be watching in this household.
In this household, we will be watching season three of White Lotus.
And Harrison Wine Reb tweeted, you'll never see carbonated orange juice.
The shaking instructions would be too complicated. And that's just a fact that I, you know, I've asked myself, why don't they just carbonate
the juices? Why not? You know, and there's your answer. There's your fucking land and
light. Anyways, you can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find me
on blue sky at Jack OB, the number one. You can find me on bluesky at Jack OB the number one.

Yes, it happens to actually be a band from Australia.
Yes, yes, yes.
And they're a fantastic band called Intermood.
They do like psych jazz, psych disco kind of thing. It feels
like yacht rock-ish but there's like flute, it's funky, this shit goes. It's called Hypnogogic.
So was the psych jazz part of your description just a joke? Yeah. And then you said psych
disco? Yeah, exactly. Psych jazz. Psych disco. Real straightforward disco. But anyway, this is Hypnagogic by Intermood.
