Rims, do you want to say hi to Tess and Joel? Hi, Tess and joelle hi tess and joelle yeah yeah every time oh so cute tess how have you been what would have you been up to oh my god nothing i've been up to nothing um just like everybody else i My main story arc over the past 10 months or whatever, I had a podcast with my friends Molly and Emily. And since we ended that podcast, I have just been doing nothing. I know, boo. Boo that you ended it, not to the podcast.

Yes, boo that we ended it. The podcast was yay. But I've been mostly sitting in my backyard with my kids while my neighbors have been playing the Billy Joel album, The Stranger. And it's taken up my entire brain for the past however long. That's been happening for a while, hasn't it? Yeah. It started in March.

Oh, no. At least once a week. And they play The Stranger in its entirety, usually on Friday nights. But they'll mix it up now. I mean, over the past three weeks, they've played it maybe three times a week and sometimes at random times of day. You're never in the mood. You're never in the mood.

The whole album, though, Jack. The whole album. It's leaving a really distinct impression. What are the hits off of that album? Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is the best song on that album by far. Yeah, that's a classic. Yeah. I'm never not in the mood for that one but i mean then they're you know there's a lot at the the end the final song which i like forget the title it's also it's it's not super loud so it's just enough that it like makes you feel a certain way but sometimes you can't

even like identify it sometimes they'll play it super quietly and you're just like why do i feel like there's like a weird new york city jazz kind of vibe in the air and they're like oh it's the stranger yeah those are classics bottle of red moving out yeah they play moving out anthony's song but you what? It doesn't hold up as well after like 30 plays. Moving Out was one of my top 10 Billy Joel songs. And now too, I'm like digging into the later catalog just to balance it out. So I'm doing like, I go to extremes, keeping the faith. Yeah.

Yeah. Do you ever find yourself just accidentally going into like a a-ka-ka you turn that back sorry it's anthony's song sorry guys i'm anthony now joel what were you gonna say uh just that i'm really sorry they're ruining like some of my favorite billy joel songs are on this album like vienna is great like jams and i feel like it's unfair that they are ruining it for you but i'm glad that you have found a way to bring a balance to your billy joel discography also do you think after a year they're gonna get tired of it is there any like slowing down of the progression of their listening no it's picking up it's picking

up and they'll add other things like it's bookended it's often like they bookend it um elton john might be a lead-in elo might follow but there's variation there you know it's the stranger remains the same um but i do have to say i like vienna also and it's you know i mostly associate it with 13 going on 30 yes where it's employed to great effect but it inspired an episode of taxi i did not know this yeah and it's in the wikipedia and i was like oh now i should like go back and watch that episode of taxi but then i was like no i've had enough i don't need to do this to myself you gotta complete your six degrees of billy joel separation yeah go diving deeper and deeper into a hole totally take over someone's life by just playing a Billy Joel album over and over again

it is a method of control psychologically seeding them if you are currently at war with your neighbors a Dizzy gang helpful hints here for you just start playing that album it's torture it is

but have you ever thought about how sometimes you'll look in the mirror and the person looking back is a stranger to you the stranger is yourself yeah like we're all like we all and this is gonna blow your mind but it's all it's almost like we all wear masks sometimes oh man but that does seem uh pathological at this point i don't think they're gonna be like yeah okay we've had enough. It seems like it's...

No, now it's a lifestyle. It went from a fun thing to now it's a joke and now we're jumping the shark and now it's just an earnest commitment. Yeah. And there's no turning back. All right, Tess, 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 the things we're talking about. We're going to talk about the NBA All-Star Game, whether they should be having that or not. I'd say or not. because they are on the up, as people have mentioned. We'll talk about the money behind the anti-mask protests that are proliferating. We'll talk about the very specific definition of cancel culture that Marjorie Taylor Greene has. It only applies to very certain things.

It does not apply to her wanting to fire all NFL players for wanting to protest. We'll talk about maybe a Canadian politician. We'll talk about Cardi B's new video. We'll talk about how advisable it is to use Gorilla Glue in your hair. All of that. Plenty more. But first, Tess, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are?

Okay, so recently I had to search my maternal grandparents' full names because I had a psychic reading. And my grandparents both really wanted to chat. And they both referred to themselves by their first and middle names, which I then realized I have no idea. I had no idea what their middle names were. So I did a Google to like verify what the psychic had told me. This was also my first like professional psychic reading. I've ducked into like the psychic eye before. But for my birthday this year, because I hate stuff at this point after being around my stuff for so long, I was like, well, I want to have an experience. So I did a Zoom with a psychic. Very cool.

And then I had to Google. Was there a reading on point? Like once you had figured out all that? Yeah, I mean, it was. My husband was lying on the floor while I did this because he had lost. You had just knocked him out. Because I'd punched him in the eye. No, he's like lost a bunch of family members over the past like 10 years or so.

And this psychic is a psychic medium. So we thought maybe, you know, and I wouldn't know if there were any like crazy details about his, you know, grandmother or something he would have to verify. But it's a one person reading and it's twice as expensive to do, too. So I thought he could just lie on the floor and listen. But I he was like, you're so game for this. You know, I wasn't even trying to make this psychic prove themselves. I was helping them out the whole time because I was so excited to talk to a stranger

and have a long conversation. I just very starved for a long chat. And yeah, it was awesome. People were coming through and yelling over each other, which I guess is common with this psychic, that the ghosts are very crowded and they're like, so the psychic occasionally will be like,

hey, stop, stop. No, stop it. Like, God, I know you're upset. I know you're upset. Wow, really? But I was a little nervous. It was going to be like when Polly Walnut sees the psychic medium

and like all the dead people are like, get him, get him. Right. Yeah. And then he gets really mad it's like shut the fuck up yeah flips the table over um yeah things in quarantine has been very uh i don't want to say weird seems too base a word it's like i think maybe more enlightening like i've been doing like spiritual healings via zoom with like mass groups of mostly influencers

which is amazing weird and funny we like burn paper and we have like an energy guide and she's really cool and fun and like it's it's actually sort of like helped build a sense of community but I totally feel what you're saying when you're like it's an opportunity just like anything different at this point I will I will leap on it right exactly it's also one of those things where you think about something that kind of differentiates one day from another and how it's hard to figure out on your own how to make a day different so that you would look back and be like well there was that one day when something happened that wasn't just like reading horrible news. So it's just a lot of different mental input.

And it is, I mean, my husband, who was pretty skeptical, he was like, it felt like going to a concert kind of where you just get a lot of like sensory input and then it's over. And you know, it was a lot like that. Yeah. You know, it was a lot like that. Yeah. I know. The differentiating, like just differentiating one day from the next

is so important right now, I feel like. Yeah. How have you been trying to do that in quarantine, Jack? I have not been doing a good job of it, but I was saying the other day I had to go to the hospital to get something removed like a skin thing removed and that was like a joyful experience like interacting with the nurse and just like having having human interaction like being like which room am i going to uh you know that and then that really broke up the week for me.

Did a stranger touch you? Oh, my God. Yeah, I know, right? So just what a thrill. I mean, the physician's assistant, I must say, was one of the great bedside manners. She had a Spotify playlist that we played. Yes, come on.

Our songs that we had together were the best. Next year, you should send the best. Next year, you should send her a card. Tag on the anniversary. I've been trying to do it with food, but like preparing like wild things I've never cooked before. Or like trying any fancy restaurant. I haven't tried.

It helps a little. It's still, it's not quite enough differentiation to be like, oh my gosh, a whole new date. But I bought a bought a dutch oven so you know sky's the limit now let's find out if we can really push this what's the best thing you've cooked since quarantine began oh we discovered that if you use bison and chili instead of ground beef it's like so good really yeah because it's kind of like bison has like it's gamey but it's not um it doesn't venture into like a venison territory of gaminess and so it's like very different but it's super hearty and like we're midwest folks and so like

when it's cold we're like we need chili we made this like delicious bison chili but then now we're experimenting with like mixing like combining different meats like doing a lamb and bison mix. Or what was the other thing that we made the other day? Oh, I made a chicken tangine, which was great. But now I'm going back. It's a New York Times recipe, which I've like been fiddling with for like maybe two or three years trying to like perfect. And I've never done it with preserved lemons, which is apparently a thing you really need to do so now I gotta put lemons in a jar fill it with salt and let it sit for six months and try again oh nice

let me know how that goes because I've been wanting to make fire cider which is a similar with in the same vein of like the preserved lemon it's it's just like you put it in a thing and then you let it sit for six months. But fire cider has like oranges, lemons, ginger, garlic, onion. Like they just keep going and adding more things to it. And I can't imagine what it tastes like. But I'm going to try it. It's giving me like leche con tigre, which is like a Peruvian drink that should like should not taste delicious because it's like mostly like fish oils and then like a bunch of like spicy seasonings and you're like how does this taste

good but the minute it hits your palate you're like I have to have jars of it I need all of it that sounds amazing no actual tiger in leche con tigre no no or tiger's milk we're not milking tigers Tess what is something you think is underrated okay underrated I'm Or tiger's milk. Yeah. We're not milking tigers.

Tess, what is something you think is underrated? Okay, underrated, I'm going to go with running for a very, very short amount of time. I know a lot of people have taken up running during quarantine, and I am one of them as of four days ago uh but everyone i talk to who's a runner they always go on this kind of weird journey where it's like they're running and then they want to keep they're like well that wasn't good enough i have to keep running more you know and it becomes this thing where like now they're training to run a marathon and then most of the people i know who do this end up being like and now i have knee problems and i hate running. Running's terrible, right? So I've decided I am only going to run, and it's really kind of a jog, for less than two miles. I will

never in my life run more than two miles. I love it. And I'm like microdosing running. Yes. I think that's, yeah. And running slow is also great. Running slow is important. And running slow is also great. Running slow is important. Running slow is the best. Once I gave up on running fast. And also, like, it was from the example of my wife who, like, never liked running. And then she was like, oh, I'm just going to, like, not try and run fast.

And eventually became one of those people who was, like, running marathons. Because she just, like, slowly slowly built built up and eventually was just like smoking me yeah I think there's a weird mentality that goes with running where once you start to get the and I'm speaking as an expert of four days of running by the way but once you start getting the endorphins, you're like, oh, this is just the beginning. Like I can keep building on this. But I'm like a very sedentary, like wheezy person. And I just know that if I got caught up in that whole runner's mentality of like, well, now I'm doing this. Now I got to do it and be the best and do it really push it. I know that my bones would disintegrate like the cartilage that supports them would like flee and i'd be one of those people where it's like running sucks yeah

so i'm after my long uh evolution into being a runner of four days i feel like i'm probably qualified to say that that's an underrated way to exercise, the tiny run. There was a podcast, I think it was Radiolab, where they profiled this woman who had some sort of traumatic brain injury where she had no short-term memory, I think it was, and she became one of the world's like foremost distant distance runners and like they were tying the fact that like she doesn't like process uh or or like yeah it's like she doesn't have like a temporal awareness she's not able to be like man this

is gonna last forever basically uh into like her running and her experience of pain. And that's something that after I listened to that show, I was like, oh, I'm going to be able to like use this to mentally make myself better at running. And it is not done. Nothing works at all. Nothing works. It's just not meant to run that much. Yeah. People are not meant to.

Yes. What is something you think is overrated? Okay, well, hopefully we'll get a chance to talk about this later, but I am now ready to come out as a hater of fancy ice cream. Wow. Yeah, I know. That's a big swing. I live in like an ice cream epicenter neighborhood.

It's just like constantly overrun by fancy ice creams, and I've kind of just silently put up with it but no more i there's no i worked i worked at ben and jerry's in uh in college that is as fancy as ice cream should be anything fancier is wrong you don't want your strawberry and balsamic ice cream nope i don't want lavender i don't want saffron i don't want the jenny's everything bagel ice cream which is maybe sounds so foul why why i mean i it's like i get it you can do it and then people like us will be like oh let's talk about that actually good yeah huh you would have thought but it's to me like ice cream in general. I have like mixed feelings about, you know, because I think really, really good ice cream is like just the very simple ice cream.

And when you get super premium, it's almost like too creamy. You know, I have to say I'm kind of like a Baskin Robbins person at this point where I'm like, that's the ice cream we deserve. I'm definitely a chunks over ice cream kind of person. I'm like that Talenti layered stuff. I was like, this is absolutely my bag. Like extra toppings, light ice cream in between. The texture is really important. I think when people get crazy with flavors, it's like we're all kind of pretending that you can taste all of those things, but you sort of can't when there's that much cream involved.

You know, I mean, it's the suggestion that it's there, but like it's not really doing anything. Listen, I'm a Ben and Jerry's like state like event. We're going out for ice cream. It's probably going to be Ben and Jerry's. Yeah. I've done Jenny's ice cream with my fancy lady friends who are like, let's try all the new things.

Let's go to Milk Bar. But I kind of like a like quote unquote milk bar or even Ben and Jerry's philosophy of like, keep it simple and clean. I'm an American and I like American desserts. We do not go too fancy. We bake yellow cake. We put the chocolate frosting and some sprinkles on it. Go next. Exactly. I mean, I still think of desserts like the fanciest dessert kind of can't compete with. I know that the L.A. USD coffee cake, I think recipe was going around recently like the coffee cake. I don't know what this is, but I will be looking it up. Oh, Joelle, I'll send it to you. It's like everyone got addicted to it. Apparently it just had this like really good

crumb and it's very super simple.'s been the same recipe for ever yes the fans are so obsessed with it and it's like you take that and then you take a fancy cake and like it's just not the same dessert needs to be humble it's like it should be a humble thing um that said i i still really like tiramisu like i'm 80s man or something where I see tiramisu and I'm like, yes. But tiramisu is the best of like every world, right? Because it's giving you that like the little bit of crunch from the like ground coffee, but also it's giving you like the sweet condensed milk sort of flavor. But also there's chocolate.

Like, yes, it's complicated, but it's like chocolate and coffee and cream. Like it's perfect. It's perfect. Also, I like that it's retro because that kind of keeps it from being a high imposter you know like now now that it's a really old and dated dessert it's okay to be like well then now that's canon now that counts exactly no i'm definitely with you i uh i should admit as as i was like trying trying to act like I agreed with this take, Tess, I, this past weekend, walked to my nearest Jenny's to try and get the Everything Bagel ice cream. Really?

And would now be telling you it's actually pretty good if they hadn't just run out when I got there. They ran out? Yeah, it's very popular. It has garlic in it. I know. There's nothing to do. When McDonald's launched that, I forget the pop star they partnered with,

like a rap person. Oh, it was Travis Scott, right? Oh, the Travis Scott meal. At that time, I lived across the street from a McDonald's. And when I tell you there was just a line around the block all day, every day for like two and a I tell you there was just a line around the block all day every day for like two and a half weeks. There's nothing to do. People were just like, yes, we will go to McDonald's

and try these new things. Stay in our car, safely social distance. This is a smart, insane thing to do. It was crazy. There was also Bad Bunny and J Balvin. Oh yeah, the J Balvin. My husband was weirdly like, really wanted the J Balvin meal.

I forget what it was. The Travis Scott was the one that had the least reason to exist, I think, because it was just I think the only innovation was that it was barbecue sauce for the fries. Yeah, bacon. And then a burger. Oh, bacon on the burger. Quarter pounder with with bacon, which I wonder, does anyone remember what the J Balvin one was? Or was, yeah, because that was the Travis Scott. I wonder what the J Balvin was.

Yeah. Now I feel like I missed out. I just remember my husband being like, should we go get the J Balvin? And I was like, I don't think so. No, I'm actually good on that. Yeah. Even with the fancy name in front of it, it's still McDonald's.

Oh, Big Mac and Oreo shake. That's actually, okay, now I understand why he wanted it. I mean, those are awesome. Those are awesome things. Oh, McClurry, McClurry. You could just order those things. Yeah, you could just order those on your own. Whatever, it worked.

They got what they needed. Yep. But now you have the backing of J Balvin to admit that that's your own. Whatever. It worked. They got what they needed. Yep. But now you have the backing of J Balvin to admit that that's your order. What's that sweet, sweet merch? Oh my god. Wait, did it come with anything? Not the meal itself,

but at the same time, McDonald's would team up with these guys and launch merchandise. So there was a members-only jacket that instantly sold out they sold mcdonald's trays with like the star's face on it i think shoes if i remember correctly it was like a lot of stuff and that stuff was fire and sold out pretty quickly have you guys been to mcdonald's recently um to a drive-thru like probably a month and a half ago i i hadn't been in a really long time and then i started

going again um for mcflurry's which i felt like i needed at the time they're so good it's so much more expensive than it was and it's really crazy to me because i remember um i was having a conversation with a friend of mine maybe like a year or two ago and she's from Morocco and she was like, you know, Morocco McDonald's is like really expensive. And, um, it's like a, a fancy treat because she was like, you know,

they're trying to discourage it. Cause they know how like shitty it is for you. Uh, and when I went to McDonald's, we'd been going to in and out a lot. And I was like, McDonald's is legitimately like $8 more than in. And cause we're buying for four people. Um, cause you can't just buy three mcflurries and then be like this one is my five

year old i care about her health like no longer um and i was like wow it's like 30 to get mcdonald's now and in and out you get like the same amount of food and it's you know 22 was super super weird to me they went and got fancy on us they did they got famous friends and uh suddenly you know uh charging us an arm and a leg in and out is still uh just value wise really uh one of the best yeah i mean i prefer fat burger joelle is like she knows how i feel because she's had to sit through we've had a lot of podcasts about this i love it fat burger is is i think far superior to in and out but it's also just so expensive yeah um which i think you know for good reason and everything but like in and out is just the most budget yeah it's the the best bang for your buck a friend took me to one in the valley that was like a fat burger in the valley that's super old and have the like original griddle and the like side pull-up window is that

beverly glen and ventura am i making that yeah no no i'm pretty sure that's the corner divine i was like this is next level like even like if if it's in and out and then fat burger this fat burger gets like two steps exactly it was so. That's the classic fat burger stand from, at least from my childhood, that was like the fat burger to go to. I love LA culture. It's so, like, the fact that you just pulled that immediately. You're like, oh, yeah.

That's so dope. That fat burger. The good fat burger. That's also, it's really close to a Ben & Jerry's, so if you want, you can do the fat burger Ben & Jerry's.'s really close to a ben and jerry's so if you want you can do the fat burger ben and jerry's we know how to live out here um all right uh we are gonna take a quick break and we will be right back i've been thinking about you I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

LeBron specifically says in this article, 71 days after, like there were 71 days between the games. There's supposed to be like a nice, many months long break in the off season.

They kind of rushed them back uh and also said like ahead of the season there won't be an all-star game you'll get five days off in march and now they're kind of switching this up and i'm hoping that adam silver comes to his senses because many of the top all-stars, the people who will have to play in this game are like, please, please, please don't make me do this. It's wild because LeBron was like, you know, if I'm nominated and asked to go, I'm still gonna go. My heart's

not gonna be in the game. I don't know if they're contractually obligated to participate. Yes, they will be fined very severely. Jesus Christ. What? That seems, I feel like the players have enough money and enough lawyers to be like, we should not have to put our lives at risk to come and entertain people for a day.

And let's be real about it. Like the All-Star Games, not what they used to be. Last season was dope though yes yes last season did give us some some great dunks uh some good moments and you like you know and now with some of the shift up too because uh sorry i'm bad at names the houston's player that just uh james harden yeah yeah i feel like i feel like I've been reading about some hurt feelings uh some friendships ending some major shifts in relationships so I'm sure the

drama would be good but I also feel like I don't understand why the NFL just couldn't like create two bubbles either coast and then once we got to the finals just shake it down to like I feel like they had the perfect example of like yes this can be done safely yes we can make sure the players are participating and then they were like

well nobody else decided to pick up what we were doing so screw all that so apparently the because that's what i've been like just do more bubbles bubbles for everything and uh it sucks to be in the bubble apparently that's the reason they did not do the bubble like the players hated being in the bubble because yeah they're they have great lives when they're not in a bubble and then it was like okay guys we're gonna do sleep away camp uh and you all have to eat garbage food uh from the calf and uh that fix though by the end they had some great food i know but it's it's just i i think and also they couldn't see their families, like for the most part, like, or, you know, they could only see,

it was just very, seemed very surreal and strange. And that was like an immediate non-starter at the beginning of the season from the NBA Player Association was like no more bubbles. The cap was- It's awesome, I'm so sorry. No, you go ahead to continue and like go and push through all of this stuff it's just beyond me like i really

it's so hard for me to wrap my mind around to be like yes it's absolutely worth lives to play a basketball game right that doesn't it makes no sense to me it's not just that though it's also just part of the whole kind of um this weird inability to admit what this situation has done to everyone's morale and like wanting to make people into you know the kind of and the band played on kind of thing where it's like but you have to you owe it to people to give them something no and it's it just fails to acknowledge the kind of stress that everyone's under i mean even beyond the health risks it's like everyone's just so depressed and like scared and, you know, at the end of their ropes. And it's like, but you still have to entertain. I don't know, man. Give him a break. Yeah. LeBron James is paid very well

and is probably one. I always say this is one of the most underpaid people in america because the uh level of his talent the level of value that he adds to the nba product uh is you know worth billions and billions of dollars which you know they do not pay him let's talk real quick just uh overdose deaths uh the numbers during the pandemic i think we assumed they were going to be bad numbers uh are looking bad and it's actually also uh you know we were seeing a lot of opioid overdose deaths in uh the years leading up to the pandemic um and now they're also seeing like cocaine and meth deaths which we like i hadn't heard of that in a long time uh people dying of cocaine overdoses but that's on the rise again um and just opioids the the fentanyl thing is really

like dangerous like anybody who is using opioids just needs to be so so careful because you can get what you think is one thing and it's fentanyl and it'll kill you um very very quickly um but yeah i don't know this makes sense to me it's a lonely affliction and these are extraordinarily lonely times like even before the pandemic and then when you add the pandemic on top of it well when you compound the fact that like a lot of people are just doing everything they can to avoid like hospitals and doctors right now um especially for people struggling with like chronic pain who are also on pain meds which can also be addictive it's just like a horrible cycle of like an inefficient health care system essentially i think plays a huge part in this yeah yeah and

the you know it's been this article was talking about how um the addiction treatment facilities are not doing well because america like during the trump administration and just like generally across the past couple decades like since the 80s uh has just had a disintegrating social safety net like they're not paying that so it's like up to the uh drug treatment facilities to like make money bring in the bring in the big bucks uh and that's like come on ridiculous i remember an article i think it was maybe a year ago about how predatory a lot of those treatment facilities have become and how they're just run in such an inhumane and really aggressively market-y kind of way. with whether or not to seek medical treatment if you think you've overdosed right now, especially in Los Angeles, where, you know, ICUs are full. I know that response times from paramedics have been really long. It's such a heartbreaking thing. I mean, it's also just a reminder that

any kind of struggle that you had going into this pandemic is just so exacerbated. And it seems like I think people are also having a harder time talking about how things are affecting them personally and if they're having a really hard time because, you know, everybody is. So it seems harder to kind of share your own issues right now because just you're comparing them against people who have lost family members or, you know, who are struggling in different ways. And it makes it almost seem like you don't want to depress anyone with your own problems. It's such a uniquely horrible time. One thing that has been good during the pandemic is meetings. Right now, there's a meeting you could go to for whatever you're looking for support from. I have an AA spreadsheet in my Twitter bio if anybody's looking for kind of support from i have a a spreadsheet in my twitter bio if anybody's

looking for meetings that's like a bunch of la meetings but yeah there's just so many happening right now at all times it's not quite as good as like going in person uh but it is something for sure let's talk the anti-mask protests, which I not only, but also like the second I saw this, I was just like, this doesn't really add up. Like it doesn't make sense that people are this passionate about

shopping without masks on at ralph's um yeah like i get and i think there's probably like some aspect of it that's just you know like we've been talking about the poison of social media and just um the hit of being like i know something that other people don't. So now I have dopamine flooding my brain. But there was an early in the pandemic Washington Post article that pointed out the movement's roots were funded by dark money the same way the Tea Party was with associates of Ron DeSantis, the Koch family, the Mercer family. family the mercer family uh all like having people who run in those circles were funding the anti-mask uh movement early on and i can't imagine they've if anything i'm sure they've just found a better way to to disguise it um i understood the financial gains of like backing something like the tea party but i'm trying to understand the financial gains of like backing something like the tea party, but I'm trying to understand the financial gains behind like being like, don't wear a mask in public. I think it's,

uh, I think early on it was this, well, first of all, Trump was like giving them their marching orders, right? Like, so you wanted Trump to have like some legitimate claim to some version of reality they also felt like

by closing down the economy or you know asking people to social distance you were hurting the economy which was going to be bad for his re-election uh hopes and so that was a thing people talked about a lot which is do you remember you remember that? Yeah. Which was wild to me. Cause it was just like, if all we had to do was like, just chill for eight weeks. Yeah. Everyone would be fine.

Y'all made it so much worse. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. There's a, so Robert Evans just finished his, he did a mini series behind the insurrections, which you can listen to in the Behind the Bastards feed.

But it just talks about different fascist uprisings that you can kind of hear echoing in the January 6th insurrection in Washington, D.C. the business plot which is a bunch of like wall street multi-millionaires and billionaires uh trying to fund the overthrow of fdr when he was like proposing the new deal and it just like it was prescott bush so like george bush's george hw Bush's father and W's grandfather was one of the people. Yeah. I mean, there were six cousins. Are you really? Through Prescott. Yeah.

Oh, wow. Wow. Well, he's a great guy. I just want to say. No, but it was it was a legitimate like the only thing that stopped them was that they approached a military leader who had recently been radicalized and become more sympathetic to socialist causes, but they were going to basically install a...

They were going to use FDR's illness to take him, delegitimize himimize him or make him, like, a figurehead and then, like, have a military leader kind of doing a deep state sort of thing. And it was, you know, just called out in the open. Like, they were like, here, we're going to pay you to do this. The guy who they were trying to pay was like, hey, they we're gonna pay you to do this the guy who they were trying to pay was like hey they're trying to pay me to do this and because money and capital runs everything in america they like those stories immediately got like the new york times was like this is hogwash um whoa and like shit all over it um not hogwash yeah and it's not yeah it was very very real super real

almost worked yeah almost worked let's talk about trump real quick so the democrats wanted him to testify during the impeachment trial uh and he continued his uh run of of sending caddy letters as being his primary form of communication through his attorney. Let me just get this big enough so that I can read it. He said, dear Congressman Raskin, so this is in response to them asking him to come and testify at his own impeachment trial. He said, We're in receipt of your latest public relations stunt.

Whoa. As you certainly know, there is no such thing as a negative inference in this unconstitutional proceeding. It reads like a Trump Twitter mix like as sent through the screen of a paralegal uh but it's uh yeah he's not having it we're i i'm still waiting to see like where he's gonna surface and actually like what he's gonna do with all the energy uh that people are like come on man what what's happening it's so weird the energy that people are like, come on, man, what's happening? It's so weird, the feeling of having him be invisible, which is what I longed for for so many years. And now that he's not on Twitter, I'm so I feel like I have this anxiety of like,

what's he doing? What do you think he's up to? What's he doing? Which is, of course, exactly what he wants. So I hate that i feel that way uh but yeah i mean he's like the cattiest person yeah in the world it still blows my mind that it's only been you know however long since he was kicked off twitter it feels like hard to remember a time when you had to constantly uh block and unblock to see what kind of damage the president was saying this day oh my gosh isn't it disappointing that we got a catty president but he was also stupid like i love a smart catty bitch like i really like a president who was like no sister that's not what we're doing uh you don't know what you're talking about and like actually has like solid receipts for people

that like obama would occasionally tap into that bag you know really had the moral high ground but yeah i feel like what a waste trump was in all aspects like it couldn't even be a fun kind of like catty president my hope is that the messiness is a bigger part of his appeal than people realize that like when Ted Cruz tries to do it and like, just can't, uh, zero charisma.

Yeah. Because he has zero charisma. Like that, that will, uh, kind of fall flat because the messiness is like what I think made him like kept him at the top of people's minds. Absolutely.

Um, and he, I mean, to his credit, I, which I don't like to say, but he was so good. It was a note that he could really hit. You know, he knew how to kind of maximize the emotions that come with it. It just felt like he was almost a machine of being able to hone his stupid statements

to like really get under everyone's skin. Uh, it was a talent, a horrible, evil talent. Right. Yeah. I mean, he was,

uh, and not by like him sitting down in the lab and being like, I will design myself to be the perfect. It's just, uh, our current version, uh, this like crisis where the world is run by like a attention economy and like just controlling people's attention via social media, like really favors people with narcissistic personality disorder. And he is the most of that of anyone.

And yeah, like just has a unfillable hole in the middle of his being that he has to constantly fill with more and more attention. So, yep, that's what it was. But also interesting because when he resigned from SAG, this follows a, you know, I forget how many months ago it was because who knows what time is anymore. I forget how many months ago it was because who knows what time is anymore. But after SAG kind of fiddled with their income limits for health care and ended up dropping a lot of people from their health care plan and then had to do kind of this series of forums about why they made that decision and, you know, justifying it and everything. There are a lot of people who are angry at SAG who are correct, I believe, to be angry at SAG. So it's kind of like with Newsom, you know, where it's like everyone on the right was like, recall Newsom. And then finally, like with the people on the left were like, wait a second, we hate that we agree, but it's like, we don't want to recall, but we're mad at him too. And they had all those memes of us shaking hands over being angry at Newsom. I felt that with the SAG thing because I was I am very proud to be a union member and I

love SAG, but I was felt very disappointed by how they handled their health plan stuff because I know it really impacted a lot of people, especially older people. So I was like, damn it, Trump, we agree. Being mad at SAG. There had to be one thing. He has so many opinions. Exactly. Yeah. sag there had to be one thing he has so many opinions exactly yeah this is a numbers game there was this new york times article that was like the left is like failing at vaccine or like the left's vaccine problem and they were equating newsome with the left like as opposed to just and like just giving the democrats like claiming that all Democrats were the left, but it was a really weird,

uh, it was like from their, uh, team who does, who sends out their daily newsletter, but it was just very much like a kind of foggy hit piece that was like being like, but look at Israel.

They have the best, uh, national numbers which is true but they were like see israel's doing well the uk is doing well conservatives are doing well uh whereas the left is like falling down it's like this whole fucking problem is because of a right-wing fascist like president in the united states exactly and like i mean i get like i don't think that people on the left should be above criticism and there's definitely been vaccine problem uh vaccine rollout issues but i think we need to be very specific and careful about

equating uh anyone who's part of the Democratic Party with the left. That's true. That's a good, yes. Liberals. That's a good differentiation. I think, though, you know, this comes up a lot when comparing California's COVID numbers to, you know, the numbers in Kentucky or whatever, where they say, look, it's like they're run by the left. But it also, I mean, while there is like a large contingent of people who are very progressive in California, obviously we also have, I mean, Beverly Hills in that New York Times interactive map where they showed, you know, who voted for Trump and everything. And you could get really hyper local. I was like, yikes.

Okay, then. Not so good. Orange County, just wild with it. Okay, then. Not so good. Orange County, just wild with it, having watched those live meetings earlier in the year, earlier last year. Yeah, it's, I wonder, like, there's so much dissent. Sure. Dissent on, quote unquote, the left.

Where do Democrats fall? What is a liberal? Like, the whole thing is just a chaotic mess right now even like just in and amongst ourselves of just trying to figure out like where do you where do you land and like the democratic party has become so center um to call them left is just yeah it's bizarre at this point yeah it's true i know it's it's hard to like have conversations about these kinds of things as they're so rapidly shifting and the definition of you know these kind of like

different political factions is so kind of contested depending on who you're talking to so it's difficult i mean definitely during the primaries that was a time when uh you know people were fighting so so much who would essentially agree on most issues but then you know the differences between them became so pronounced it was intense to see and difficult to figure out how to kind of zoom out and get a good picture on how this is going to be viewed later you know yeah but to in a lot of cases the democratic party is like values the status quo and like the way things have been which is a overall like a conservative philosophy is to go back to the way things were um and then you know the republicans are fascists at this point like straight up and down fascists uh we don't really have like i i don't know i i

think that the democrats are in a lot of ways a conservative like center-right party when you compare them to any other country uh or at least a lot of other countries um and then the left doesn't really have any sort of media outlet other than like it doesn't have a TV network. MSNBC is not a left a leftist thing. They are a DNC. MSNBC. Yeah. I know.

Yeah, that's true. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life it's too late for that i have a proposal for you come up here and document my project all you need to do is record everything like you always do.

Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and uh so is cardi b she's she dropped a new video on uh ben shapiro's ass ass um this uh yeah it's really good it's probably not quite as evocative uh well i don't know what's

the what's the cnn word provocative yeah it's very evocative it's not quite as maybe not quite as provocative as the web video but i don't know it's pretty good pretty i loved it yeah that's what i had like a whole conversation on twitter before she got on this is like listen could you can we break this down because there's so much happening in this music video and i think if you just give it like a cursory surface glance like oh okay this is very much like a cardi b style music video but like once you get into specifically the like her style designs in there like a lot of magic begins to happen for example at one point she's wearing this like cone bra neon like sports like get up like it's shorts and like a top or whatever now instantly in my head I was like oh this is giving me like um like a 50s like Marilyn

Monroe meets like 80s Jane Fonda vibe. Because she's also in sneakers, not in heels. And it's like kind of sexy, but also like very powerful, somewhat cheerleader. But then Tess, you were like, oh no, Madonna. And I was like, there is so much happening in this video that I really, really like. Especially if you think about like what's sort of being said about like sexuality but also just like womanhood she has these and at one point she's like this dominatrix like cheerleader style vibe going on which tess brilliantly picked up was like a tlc

nod which was like the big hair pieces from the No Scrubs music video well I was like oh it's I was like it's Fly Girls and then I was like no wait and then I but then I had to like do like many Googles and everything it was like oh I see it's Left Eye but also I mean just the you said Missy Elliot

too with the wig that was my favorite part that was the best part so it was the best part. So dope. It was, it also like, it was just so, she's so funny and like it just, it played so well. But I didn't get, and I felt like I knew it was a reference when she's wearing the kind of like saran wrap, like strapless bikini thing with all the champagne. I don't know what that's a reference to either.

I was like, is that like Kimian with like the champagne you know um yeah yeah but she broke the internet yeah yeah but i was like is it that but i felt like that was a distinct reference that i wasn't getting um they did like a birth of venus you know and a marilyn monroe reference um but i i was like oh this is one of the ones where i'm just gonna have to sit down and find like every little easter egg that's in there but it's been in my head all morning um and I keep like humming it and then I see my kids and I'm just like ah go away I I do I love the idea of her like evoking all of the like icons of feminine beauty throughout the ages and then absolutely like making them her own. And she's like the Rolls Royce ornament. I was like, this is life.

This is exactly what I want from a Cardi B. It's just her having like a ton of fun, like absolutely embodying like her, like absolutely just power over her like sex drive and sex life. And then being kind of goofy and making a pyramid that twerks. I was like, this is a feat of like physical prowess like this is so incredible that anyone can do this she just changed the cheerleading game with that one shot forever i look forward to all of your uh you know new tiktok dance crazes based off of this video it's gonna be amazing yeah yeah um and the uh you you were saying that the there were like product placements like a one the vibrator that appears is like something that she's selling or has aligned herself with a brand so yeah so vush reached out to her on like twitter

i think if i remember correctly and they're like all very about like positive female orgasm like get yours and they sent her a bunch of like vibrators and she opened them on instagram and like has this like very positive you know women empowered movement i like the idea of especially if you look back back at, like, the legends of the female rap game, the mid-90s, our little Kims, our... It's a bad day for names, guys. Our Trinas. those ladies had to partner with dudes a in order to sell music but then also to get these like major brand endorsements which if you know anything about the music game particularly now like you don't make a lot of money selling songs you it's brand endorsements and touring

and you can't tour right now so it's like it's a challenge and so just to see like her getting like all of these like big brand endorsements and it's just cardi b it's not her in partnership with anybody else i think that's kind of exciting um i don't drink ace of spade but i'm really excited for her and everybody who owns an ace of spade with a sparkler in it at a club you know yeah yeah rep i also think it's kind of like a fun the the madonna references also were just interesting because i also think that she there was like a reference um in one of the shots that people were mentioning uh resembled this like book of erotic photo you know photography I think it was French maybe um but it had like a strong kind of like Madonna vibe throughout of of like a material

girl kind of like I'm not gonna be subtle like I'm I'm here to make money and like I'm here to like you know kind of dominate and it had all all of these S&M things going on. But I just love her and I love that she's doing that. And I also think we've become more accepting of the brand partnership and stuff over the past couple of years as more people have entered that space. And you realize how Spotify and other platforms can kind of short artists and how brand partnerships make up that gap a lot of the time it used to be something that seemed kind of tacky and like lame and now i feel like it just you you're like oh great for you you know you got

the vibrator partnership like run with it you know show it it's great the madonna reference also like i remember a time i'm this old that like when a new madonna video came out like that felt like an event that also like all of the aesthetics from that video would like kind of become a part of the ether like the like a prayer video the vogue video like all the just different imagery. Like suddenly like that was just something that was going to be referenced. The cone bra immediately became a thing that was like going to be an SNL like or in living color like joke visual gag immediately. And now like it feels like she, Cardi's videos, like when she drops one, it's like immediately a part of the culture like yeah an event that where everybody's like okay we gotta drink this up and now like that is part of our vocabulary yep the entire hair piece from like in the i really love the opening shot which is her

like standing on a grave like her louboutin shoe is literally on some guy's like sack and then you see the like graves and it's like it's a gravestone so like uh if you think of like a king arthur old kings covered in cement i think they do this in lord of the rings where it's just like the body laying and that's the tomb uh so she's standing on top of the guy and they reveal the name and it's 2020 and i I was like, I wonder how cathartic that just experience was. I mean, like this whole video is just a very stout, like, fuck you, 2020. But her hair piece in that it's all like a giant chunky braid with black roses and like little crucifixes tied in. The crucifix is consistently uh a fashion statement i've definitely had several pairs of crucifix

earrings different types of crucifix bows and stuff i look forward to seeing what the girls do with that coming forward there's a lot of stuff to like feast on it's a visual feast for the eyes um and i'm glad we have cardi b in these quarantine times between her and then chloe and hallie doing all of their like live digital things. I'm like, OK, we we don't have summer concert series, but we have these girls and holding it down for us. But the thing with the Barbies like singing from her hair is hits so hard because it's like that point in the song also hits really hard. That's so dope. hits so hard because it's like that point in the song also hits really hard. That's so dope.

Yeah, screaming about how broke men don't deserve pussy, I believe. Yes, I believe that's right. And yeah, Barbie screaming that is pretty great. Yeah. And that is just me being like, remember that part? That part was cool, right? You guys see the video? You guys see that part? That was was cool, right? You guys see the video? You guys see that part?

That was so cool. Well, let's talk about Gorilla Glue and hair. I don't think Cardi was using Gorilla Glue in any of her hairstyles that she was rocking, but it is something that we have now been given evidence that it does not work from a tiktok user tessica brown when this hit the internet i was like down i was like down for the count i was like this is the wildest thing i've seen in a long time it absolutely feels like it should be like if school was in session i'm convinced this would have been the new challenge like

glue your hair down and it's such it's funny because okay so if you haven't seen the video basically there's a woman she's like listen my hair's been like this for months which is immediately alarming because your hair should not be one way for months you're like what is going on she has got to be glued which if you've ever had to secure a wig or any kind you know just get your edges nice and laid like that's the go-to product you get got to be glued glued, and it's really going to shellac your hair down. But then you wash it, and it's fine. She ran out of that.

She found some Gorilla Glue spray, which so many points to make here. Who knew Gorilla Glue came in spray? I knew they had the good kind. I knew they had the little, like, droplet kind for tiny pieces. But I did not know it came in a spray form. Apparently it does. Seems irresponsible. but i did not know it came in a spray form apparently it does seems irresponsible it clearly because she select her whole head into like a perfect bowling ball like it is just

down if if you know black hairstyles this is the like slick down up front attach the long pony in the back very common style right now super hot um but again not something you want to ask for months and this poor woman after like discovering her mistake she's like oh well i'll just wash it which apparently she washed her hair 15 times people did not believe her they're like this is fake i also she was like this is for clout and it's silly but nope watched her try to wash her hair it really doesn't move like she's digging in with her nails and it's just hair over scalp it shouldn't be funny because she's clearly distressed about it and i'm not sure what she's going to do to fix it um yeah gorilla glue did respond and they were like hey you know you can use like some

acetone or and soak it and hopefully that will help but how is that gonna work rubbing alcohol and warm water which i was like for anyone who's been trying to get rubbing alcohol it's in short supply you know right but um i knew it was real because the look on her face during this tiktok when she was explaining it i've so been there and that's the when you've not with glue with other things where you realize you've made like a horrible mistake and usually for me it's like you google you're like on reddit and you're like what's a great way for like i just really want to like get rid of dark spots and they're like you just put nail polish remover on a cotton ball and swab it all over your face and you're like

okay you're like oh no i've done that so many things that i've done because like one person on the internet was like you know what's actually like a really good idea. I'm like, sure, they seem like a real professional of this. But it's you do that face where it's like the adrenaline in your body is so intense. You're just like, I've made a horrible mistake. And like, I'm so embarrassed, but I have to admit it because otherwise I'm going to be all alone not knowing how to deal with it I love that Gorilla Glue responded I also didn't know that there is a gel called Gorilla Snot and so people on Twitter were like oh I see you know it's like there's a picture of a gorilla on both of them being like one gorilla's being like I'll make your hair stay and the other one's like I'm glue. And the other product that she ran out of had glue in the title. So it was like, I totally see how that would be. It's not even that much of a stretch.

I could have done this. All you have to be is the right amount of tired. Right. You're so generous because my thought was like, where do you keep your gorilla spray, right? That is the question. Someone was like, did she go to a toolbox? How did she magically end up in the crafts aisle when she's looking for hair product?

What happened? I hope somebody does an in-depth profile on this woman, honestly, because this is a saga. Also, if that woman should happen to be listening, you have great cheekbones. You can shave your head and you're gonna be good like i know it might be frustrating but it'll grow back uh i i would not personally pour like you know any kind of like dissolvent on your hair because that just seems like it seems like a lost cause at this point sweetie i'm so sorry yeah you don't want to make yourself that flammable too like everything that they were recommending, I was like, but then it's scary. Like if you get like a static spark,

it's like you're just going to combust. You know, you're like dumping nail polish remover on your head. I didn't even get to the science of it. That sounds horrifying.
