Which is wild to me. It is.

Terrible. They've been planning her funeral since the mid-70s. So it just feels like you should have the words ready to go. Anyways, my name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. I love it when they call the bowls poppa. Throw some shit in a bowl and call it keto. I love it when they call the bowls pop-a. Throw some shit in a bowl and call it keto. I love it when they call the bowls pop-a.

Business dummies fillin' tummies thinkin' people say yummy. I love it when they call the bowls pop-a. If it blows up on your waist, please don't stuff up your face. Why? Cause slop bowls don't taste right when they're not covered in gravy. Gravy.

That is courtesy of Jimmy Spence. Talking about the hot new food trend, which is just put it in a slop ball and gobble it up, piggies. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! Let's not be so celebratory, okay? Queen Elizabeth II has died. And if you don't remember, I have the same birthday as Prince Harry. We're born the exact same day.

So it feels like maybe my grandmother has passed. So I would like to have a moment of... Actually, no. I'll just sing this AKA to honor her. I'm sorry, Charlie, for the imposition. I think I got it, got it. I got the strength to carry on. Yeah. I need a drink and a quick decision.

Now it's up to me. Oh, what will be you? She gone, she gone. Oh, why? Oh, why? She gone. I better learn how to face. She gone. She gone. Oh, why? Oh, why? She gone. I better learn how to face. She gone.

She's gone. I'd pay the devil to keep her. Okay. Anyway, shout out to. If people could see the tears coming down his face right now. She gone. You know? But anyway, yeah.

I was trying to find a way to get out of work today. And it's hard to keep a straight face and out of work today and it's hard it's hard to keep a straight face and say like i can't even think right now yeah but i do think of megan markle who's gonna have the acting performance of her life pretending like she gives a fuck yeah she gives a shit she's like oh really oh shit oh i was honestly on Google trying to find pictures of her smoking a blunt. She'd be like, I win. Smoking on that. Moral pack.

And we have a king now. Are they really saying that shit? I don't know. Probably. That's just my assumption based on a very loose understanding of royal law. Oh, yeah. Right, right, right. Yeah. But, you know.

Can't not have a monarch. Well, speaking of kings, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the very faces on Mount Zeitmore, a hilarious and brilliant writer, podcast host, producer. You know him from Yo, Is This Racist? Yes. Which has a live show this Saturday at the Bell House in Brooklyn. It's Andrew T!

Yo, what up? A.K.A. Nay on the concept of remembering to do an A.K.A. I'd never have one. I love that. I don't got it. That's alright, man. Oh, that was all the A.K. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Yeah.

It's great to see you again, sir. Hey, what's up, dawgs? How are you coping? How are you doing? Yeah. How are you? How many tweets have you gotten off? Well, exactly.

I landed in New York last night. So I had the privilege of i saw that having uh the the sunshine into my eyes at like 7 a.m new york time 4 a.m regular time um so i was very cracked out but i did get a lot of tweeting in before y'all even woke up yeah i saw that tweet ellery did where she was like the fucking east coast has got three solid more hours of tweets that they could get off unlike the west coast people and i was like god damn you're right that's i really i felt like i landed just for this you know what i feel like she did it for me she did it for me yeah but i appreciate it i think she did it for arsenal we were tied at halftime and then she died at

halftime they came out and then they won. So, you know, all's well that ends well. I think I'm over it. Yeah, that's the least harmful use of a British Arsenal by Queen Elizabeth. For all time. Beautiful. You know, fewest people died off this.

Are there people who are legit, like I saw a report this morning that was like the the pound is at a low like a 40 year low like are people really upset about this there's levels you know it's like anything there are people who are fully like monarch brains and are like truly like the weird parasocial relationship to like i feel like you know like whatever no then you got everybody from like a former colony who's fucking sea walking on twitter right it's just wild it's it's cool to see every and then

you see the people who i love seeing the like monarchists who are disgusted by like black twitter and then just watching them get roasted and i'm like they're already the most fun people to see like outraged about a thing yeah but they do it. Like they don't know what they're getting into. Like they're going to quote tweet somebody with a huge following. Like this is absurd. And they're like, RIP your fucking mentions. People are suffering here.

Yeah. I mean, you'd think this would be good for all of the, all of the money with her picture on it. That's just a collector's item now. Oh, right. Right.

Like art, right. Trying to get a, yeah. You're trying to get a two Canadian dollar bill? Whatever? They're not printing those anymore. Yeah. You can't print money once the person dies.

That's the fact. I guess it reminds me a little bit of when Reagan died and America, like half of America was like, he was a great leader probably more than half of america was yeah it was all about it and you know very solemn and i did not give a fuck oh man yeah when did he die like this is do you make it a 2000 this is the one time i'm most disappointed in um i feel like this and this i'm about to say something that maybe is too

general that is actually just my mom's problem but i kind of had this always had this sense that like hong kong people didn't really like bristle under british colonialism enough so we don't really get the celebration because my mom was always like ah british people are so classy i'm like mom you're a fucking subject right did you see this shit hey kobe just crossed up the queen they gotta stop they gotta stop no go on go on All right. Well, we are going to try to press forward and talk about things besides this today. We're going to talk about UPS workers getting ready to strike and fuck it up for everyone. Am I right? According to Fortune.

Fortune's mad. We might even talk about the Trump presidential library and why, you know, it's going to be like even more racist Graceland eventually. But he's using that as an excuse for why he had those documents. Hey, and speaking of even more racist, we're going to talk about Lord of the Rings fans because they are taking it to new levels. That was still my favorite tweet of yesterday when they were like when the fan was like why are there black hobbits it's like my question is if this is old day worth why are there potatoes right historically accurate in here yeah yeah uh i mean this one's sort of uh i saw various places on twitter but it's like so what happened between rings of power and the hobbit to turn hobbit the

shire at least at least bilbo's neck of the shire all all white right right that's a hobbit redlining is a real problem yeah yeah yeah because this is a prequel right so yeah shire got gentrified yeah i'm saying look at them And yeah Remember the Shire weed They used to talk about Now it's all this Fancy fucking packaging And shit Right

Yeah You can't buy that shit Loose If anyone If anyone Is in jail for Shire weed Right They need to be released

This is Whoa whoa whoa You're not gonna win You're not gonna win The mayoral election Of the Shire With that kind of talk man They do basically

Smoke weed in the Hobbit Though right Yeah mayoral election of the Shire with that kind of talk, man. They do basically smoke weed in The Hobbit, though, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. He said he called it Shire weed. The motherfucker blew a dragon out. Pipe weed. Yeah. Pipe weed.

Yeah, yeah. But didn't he blow a dragon out in the first one? Yeah. The only Lord of the Rings movie I've watched is that first one. And I've only ever seen it really high. It's hard to know if, if just, it's just the inside of his lungs.

It's just dragon shaped. And that's right. Like it's hard to say if it's the weed or if it's Gandalf. It's just naturally how it comes out. Yeah. Oh yeah. Cause then he, remember he set off like a ship too.

He smoked a ship and the ship went off into the distance. All right. Anyway, he should have been in vape competitions, Gandalf. Yeah. I feel like the best parts of the Lord of the Rings things is like the origami boat in the first episode of this new series was like the coolest thing. Oh, like was it a transformer in the water?

Yeah, it was like a transformer origami boat that turned into a sailboat. And all the fighting and shit was boring as hell. But the little whimsical touches are as hell but like the the little like whimsical touches are always the best part of the lord of the rings for for my money but before we get to any of that andrew we like to ask our guest what is something from your search history oh man this is i i have two and they're they're related the first one is what do you call the omicron booster shot oh yeah okay so i was trying to figure out what to ask for turns out it's the bivalent covid vaccine or covid booster aka according to the words of the pharmacy tech at the cvs in east la i went to

the new shit yeah we got the new shit. Oh, hell yeah. Really? Yeah, we got that new shit. It should be conversational like that. You know what I mean? Got the new shit. Oh, you got that new shit?

Got that pandemic. Yeah. Well, I was like, do you have the, I mean, it's a bivalent, yeah, we got the new shit. Wait, are you asking if I'm MJ coming back from retirement because I got that BA4-5 on me? Yeah, I do. Because isn't that the other one? It's like it's targeting BA4 and 5. There's like the big thing.

I think that might be incidental. I think it's the branches just have a new spike protein. Off the contrary. In targeting BA5, it also targets BA ba4 so they add that to the marketing but look i don't know i got that shit and then i i'm not like probably covered yet but i got on the plane and then the second sorry the second thing part of my um while i was laid up for a day during the fucking hottest day in los angeles uh i sort of timed intentionally. I was like, look, if I'm going to be miserable after the booster shot,

it might as well be on the day I wasn't going to do anything anyway. Right, right. So then I Googled, whilst in bed, Resident Evil Village walkthrough on YouTube.com. So I watched someone play through the last Resident Evil game.

And let me tell you this, it's spooky and gross. Also like a year old. Right. Do you have any intent to play it now? No, I think... You just need to see it. Yeah, I just never, ever want to play a video game, but I

mean, YouTube is such a boon for me because I was always like, I don't know if this is personality or circumstance. I don't know if I was trained to be this or i naturally am this i'm the dude that just likes to be you know whether like out of it whether stoned or drunk or you know off that covid booster shot i like to be out of it and watch someone else play a video game right but i very rarely want to get in myself so youtube has been a real boon for me. I don't even need to go to someone's house to just be like,

oh, you missed the sparkly thing in the corner. Oh, you're good. You're good, huh? You're good at this game. Do you need them to talk you through it and be entertaining? Or is it just watching them play? The one I ended up watching was some British dude

who would just say shit like oh that's that's horrible like oh no oh i did it massive harry kane yeah harry kane well that that uh that one in particular has has a lot of massive, nasty, massive and horrible things. So yeah, a lot of that. I was trying to explain to some friends. I'm just going to take the meandering, guys. We're at a different place now. Yeah, we're going to meander. Hey, look.

I can barely think, man. Yeah, exactly. I was trying to explain to some friends who are not... I've been going to a lot of Angel City Football club games. It's the National Women's Soccer League team in Los Angeles. And I was trying to come up with a chant,

akin to some of the great British ones. I was trying to explain. I think my favorite one was, you Petr Cech yourself before you wreck yourself. For, at the time, Chelseasea goalkeeper petr check yeah but there's a player on there's a there's a player on angel city named june endo and my friend mike benner was we're trying to figure out some version of like super june endo sega genesis oh wow when i was other other words yeah and then the rest of it which we tbd

good lyrics tk yeah all right it's interesting to see how that takes off it's like almost there well like the terrorist songs in like england they're like you know you have like almost like 35 basic melodies that you can like riff off of and it's interesting to see how like americans try and sort of be like okay what can we use we're like if you hear it enough people can kind of already kind of hop in without knowing where you're going that's kind of interesting to me to watch like how like in the mls certain teams have their chance but some are just like completely different songs that are just like we just don't we don mean, we just don't, we don't have that. I don't, I think it's,

I don't know what it is. I, I, it's just so hard to like get everyone on board already. Yeah. See, that's usually the goal. Should all be riffs on Jingle Bells. Just start with Jingle Bells as your base.

Probably. Honestly, like, just something like that literally everyone knows and then they can kind of get the lyrics as it goes. All Americans know how to do in unison is,

holy shit, or USA. It has to be bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. Other than that, it's fucking hard. Motherfuckers can't get it together on a song, maybe the national anthem, or happy birthday. Right. Yeah. But that like pop, pop, pop, pop,

that is, of course, one musket, that is of course one musket, two musket, three muskets and red coats. Thank you. Right. Johnny Tremaine up in here. That's funny to think that like to teach like an American how to protest, you got to be like,

okay, so you know how to, you know how you're always chanting USA, USA. Like after you finish a hamburger in another country or something. Well, instead of chanting USA, you chant fuck George Bush,

for instance. I mean, it's really... Or it's let's go Brandon. That's another blah, blah, blah. Yeah, that's the other one we know. Right, right, right. Fuck George Bush, let's go Brandon. Deeply whack. That's the other one we know. We got our fucks. George Bush, let's go, Brandon. Deeply whack.

That's the culture. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated actually is thinking at all about TV shows. I'm just like... In what way do you mean? Like just watch it

and then disconnect? Yeah. Part of it is I'm just like, I've, I've reached the part in my TV writing career where thinking about someone else's show, I know there are lots of, you know what, not only lots of good writers spend all their time thinking about other people's TV shows, but the second I'm out of work i'm just like i don't you know everyone's like oh what do you think about this and that's like i didn't i just watched it it's fine yeah about it right yeah yeah do you think they were like really tussling over that b plot yeah it's like i don't know there was a b plot cool right you're like i don't know that's why that dude showed up okay oh yeah that makes sense actually that makes sense actually i mean i guess i what i don't have is that natural like plot parsing thing or story parsing thing that'll like again that good writers have i'm always just like oh yeah i guess you're right that's me in the room if you hire me to work in

your writer's room i'm the guy that's gonna be like oh shit yeah i guess you're right right they really love but they love that like because you pump everybody up you're like damn i never looked at it like that they're like right right like i like andrew man he's cool yeah i just like sort of a gene genial doofus in the writer's room that's an andrew t andrew t. All right. Andrew guarantee. You just need a t-shirt now that says Genial Doofus. Get at us. Get at me.

What's something you think is underrated? Underrated. Oh, yes. So is doing just like the whack thing when you're visiting somewhere. I have been in New York about like, I don't know, 10 hours now. No,

14 hours now. No, 10 hours now. And all, all I've done is like, I just went and got a like egg and cheese on a roll and like walked around and got a slice of just cheese pizza and ate it just like a like a just like a real doofus tourist and i know it's like not cool or like interesting but i'm like i don't care i get that health that i used to live here so i'm like uh what am i gonna do yeah well you

know what you want to do i don't think that's i mean those things are good and they're good in new york so yeah i don't think it's like stupid it, those things are good and they're good in New York. So I don't think it's like stupid. It's like, it'd be dumb if you went to Sparrow, right? And did that whole dumb bit of a thing that I see too many people do. And they think it's funny. And they're like, I went to Sparrow in New York, but like that shit is dumb. But get your bagel, get your fucking, you know. I don't care.

I just like doing the thing. I like when I go on vacation or I guess this is technically work, but kind of vacation, but definitely more vacation. For tax reasons, work. Honestly, kind of. The IRS loves our show, by the way. Just be careful.

Shout out to the 80,000 new agents. Yeah. I just like, anytime I visit somewhere, I just like acting like what I would do if I just had a pain in the ass, but not terribly taxing job in that city. Right.

So just like go eat at the boringest place. And like, I got out of four and it's going to go to happy hour somewhere close to the hotel or wherever I'm staying. Like, I don't care. Yeah. I like,

I like living as if I have given up, but in a different city. Right. Well, what is the version? What's the antithesis of what you're talking about look like? I think this is definitely partially the people I know in Los Angeles, but it's like, we made reservations at the best,

the cool place every night, and we're doing this, and like, oh, there's a party here, and like, oh, my friend from this is doing this right and i'm just like i guess i will and do not get me wrong i'm here for another two days if anyone's got anything going on hit me up but i for real i'm just like i don't know i never i never care enough to do it myself i just like doing the boring thing but in a different place right right for. And you don't feel the sense. I think those people really get the FOMO and

they're like, I can't believe it. I was in New York for 36 hours and I didn't go to this top seven restaurants. Yeah, exactly. How? I mean, part of it is like having lived maybe in New York, it's just like, especially this cruel ass city, like the top seven restaurant

changes every month. So like, what are you, what are you experiencing? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This it's all ephemeral. Yeah. And is that more interchangeable with like LA is top seven restaurants then would be like just a local bar and an egg and cheese on a roll, you know? Yeah, I, well,

I, that's what I prefer. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. The LA version local flavor yeah is yeah just like doing the thing that actually i would do as opposed to like maybe that's it if i lived like i live in la and i'm never like oh my god what i gotta do is make sure to hit up blah blah yeah but that's just a personality thing because there are plenty of people who are and you know what good Good for them. Good for them.

I like to go down to the docks and get into a fist fight. Yeah. You know? At whatever place I am. Just see. That's how I. Short elbows. Short elbows is the key in a dock fight.

That's right. I like to go just around Brooklyn and yell at people for playing their ethnic music too loud. Like a true Brooklyn. Like a true New Yorker like a true new yorker true new yorker that is so loud i'm sorry that is so loud what is going on gentrified even harder than the last time i was here it is man and i could i'm not joking i saw a woman chastising a dude for playing like dembow like out of his fucking car like and she was like i'm i have a baby in a stroller it's like you're what you're pushing your stroller towards this fucking car right also fuck your baby lady yeah also your baby could use some rule number one listen to some good music yeah yeah i i was at a

bar yesterday where every white person or every white guy was dressed like Harry Potter and every not white guy was dressed like Mero. And I was like, this is gentrification at its finest. Oh, no. It was really like, oh, the line. Everyone seemed to be getting along. But you know, what do I know? I've been outside. Yeah, right. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

And we're back. And UPS workers are ready to strike. You do Underrated too? Yeah, yeah. Underrated was doing the whack thing when visiting a city. Oh, damn. I'm sorry.

I'm not joking. My head is spinning. You know, I'm trying to get at Prince Harry right now. Yeah. Yeah. And lawyers are only getting back to me saying that they will escalate this to law enforcement. I don't know what that means, first of all, but I'm trying to help my friend out. About you getting in touch with Harry?

Yeah. Here for you, bruv. Just over and over thanks all right well ups workers are ready to strike and yeah the headlines are interesting the headlines are instructive of yeah this has been a thing since they've had a the new head of the teamsters union who is much more like willing to be like we're gonna fucking fight for hours that's the mess that's my sort of guarantee to you as the leader of this union and so there's been versions of this like since his election to the the top spot you know where a lot of people like wow like ups could probably be a lot more serious about

striking with this new uh union leader etc etc so recently, there've been a few variations on the same headline in the last couple of two weeks that are basically some version of UPS workers set to strike. And this would be very significant if UPS went on strike because they move around, like every year they move around 6% of the country's GDP through their facilities and trucks.

And they've worked together with the teamsters for nearly a century and the time has come for a new round of contract negotiations this april before the current deal expires in the summer of 2023 the thing is ups workers have been fucking fed up for a while now and there's already a feeling going around they're like yeah they might they're gonna they're deaf they're gonna strike we just don't know when they're like, yeah, they might, they're going to, they're deaf. They're going to strike. We just don't know when they're, they were like, they could strike even in the middle of negotiating if things aren't going properly, or they feel that the need to do this. So just to kind of put that in perspective for scale, UPS handles over 21 million packages a day. And that is something Amazon FedEx and the postal service couldn't even come close to handling. So a UPS strike

would affect everybody. That's crazy. Like that, that is come close to handling. So a UPS strike would affect everybody, simply put. That's crazy. Like, that is very surprising to me. I guess I just assumed UPS was about the size of FedEx. I didn't know that they were so much bigger. Yeah, and you think of how much stuff they move between offices or businesses and other things. It's not just, like, consumer shit. Like, it would have a huge fucking impact

and so now the media is covering this in a variety of ways and the variety is the varying levels of empathy that's being shown so some articles show workers empathy others are showing you know consumers empathy and then most of all the corporations empathy uh and it's just interesting to look how fucking widely varied a simple story about people who are in shitty working conditions and need new money or need better wages and benefits when the company is making record profits the same story how they want to sort of present it you know right yeah it's it's funny i mean it's yet another story where you can't get the truth outside of something like

a publication that has socialist or you know progressive in the title of it of its yeah like otherwise it's just what does this mean for you and your family how to save a buck or it's like do you believe this shit yeah they're gonna ruin us all this so fortune is just fortune magazine describes it as this this is their headline quote ups drivers who are 95 000 a year are threatening to strike and it could hurt virtually every american look at what happened in 1997 that's the last time they went on strike. That's their fucking headline. So it's constructed to make these people be like, they're fucking, these guys are millionaires. They're just big union fat cats who want to ruin your life. And then the article goes on to give a very superficial description of the stakes here.

It's basically like, workers want more money and better benefits, but U is already like probably one of the best places you could work in the industry so right that's kind of the thrust of that they don't mention the driver who died because of no yeah in the car yeah no they don't and and that's where you have to find like you have to go to like like you're saying explicitly progressive or like leftist outlets that have a headline that says, quote, By failing to prioritize driver safety, UPS risks major strike. The sub headline is, as UPS drivers around the country struggle to do their jobs in triple digit temperatures, literally baking inside of non air conditioned trucks, their wealthy employer refuses to take action. No lies detected. What? Why are the trucks

not air-conditioned? I mean, I guess because they have the big, like, giant open doors on the side. But that also is just something I've always taken for granted about the trucks. Like, I don't think that that's necessary, right? Like like couldn't

they have doors that close like every other car in existence a spokesperson from ups said look the reason we don't have fucking air conditioning is motherfuckers are opening the doors and shit too often they're gonna let all the cool air out so it will be quote ineffective is what they said wow it's real dad dad energy there oh yeah you're letting out all the cold air you better fucking cook the trucks themselves they're like literal black death box like they're they're dark colored right so we know a little bit that's gonna absorb way more heat and be super i'm sure anybody this summer has gotten a package where you're like how hot is this fucking box i just got right this shit was cooking right that's the same drivers are

in those trucks for on 12 to 15 hour routes trying to deliver packages with no fucking air conditioning and the doing manual labor like moving these fucking boxes yeah i'm sweating recording right now i bet some of the trucks trucks have refrigerated compartments for the packages, just not the drivers. I'm sure they're designed to keep the packages cooler. And then the drivers just have to bake in the tin box up attached to the front of the truck. But yeah, like a lot of the other like articles you talk about they don't they just sort of take on this they're talking like investors clearly because it's like the supply chain issues it's going to wreak even more havoc if this strike

happens and also side note and then it's funny because then they want to give like the investor class like a quick like a talking points or like just more of like a, a summary of like how to catch them up to speed on like how like, like labor shit works where they're like, right. So here's the thing. UPS is so fucking big that if they get their shit together, it's going to set a new standard across the industry.

Much like how Starbucks and you know, they are dealing with that shit like it's fucking so heavy-handed yeah yeah america loves the dominoes a domino uh thesis oh yeah yeah which if they win then it's just communism from here on out that they're just the first domino to fall the the other half of that quote you guys pulled from Fortune, like UPS is already doing a good job when you compare it to other companies that mistreat their workers. It's like, yeah, this like perpetual,

like one downsmanship of like, you're not being as abused as bad as FedEx. What's that? I said that was me being flippant when I wrote it as mistreat their workers. But that's how it sounds because they were being very dismissive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm sorry. But that's definitely true that there's just a one down. They will treat them as badly as they possibly can. Right. And well, I guess the other

side too, it's like the scare quote in that or the scare implication in that fortune headline the scare implication in that fortune headline of like who earned 95 000 a year it's really like like the band the band for like as you know everyone gets more polarized the band for like what a shameful amount of money to make before asking not to die in a truck is right right like gets so narrow it's like what's going to be sympathetic but not too little to like actually make it like good lord well it's weird how you know scale is like sliding based on your political ideology like and who the person is that you're like is the object of your discussion or the subject of

your discussion where if it's a if it's an athlete it's like they get millions of dollars why are they complaining about police violence and then if this one is they're not they make 95 000 they don't want to die in a truck yeah wouldn't what american what blue-bloed American red blooded American, what red blooded American wouldn't love to maybe die in a UPS truck for 95 K. Please do it. Please. It's like, no, the whole this whole momentum that everyone is trying to really capture is about like completely rebalancing the scales. about like completely rebalancing the scales. So people aren't taking advantage of when they do the fucking work that makes the people in the boardrooms,

all this money. I'm sorry. Like, like vacillating between sociopath and sycophant on your way to like a board position isn't a grind. Right. So like, miss me with that.

And I'll give a fuck how little money you fucking make. If you're like, it's just so funny how we look constantly how much do these motherfuckers who don't sweat make yeah what the fuck how are you how can you justify that like really we can't yeah let's talk if we're gonna cite anyone's salary why don't we cite the salary of the people deciding not to pay them enough and decide making the decision not to air condition their trucks. Why don't we look at what they make?

Because I'm sure it's egregious. I mean, you want to know how much, you know, how much cash Carol Tome made in 2021 in terms of total cash received. Not, I'm not talking about equity or like pensions and other things, 2.7 million,

but the total, who is that? The CEO of a CEO. Yes.7 million but the total who carol is that the ceo of uh ceo of ups okay the but in total in total compensation in 2021 27.6 million dollars damn okay right like what huh ceo with 27 million dollar salary decides that decides that it's not worth it to give drivers who are dying while delivering your packages air conditioning would be the more interesting headline. Jack, her salary is only $2.7 million. Okay. It's the $24 million in equity, fucking stocks and all that shit. Sure.

And that's what those keep saying they're like no those other stuff that's just on the performance of the company and that was a good year so market that's what you bring i was just doing like uh if you if you mentally round up the ups drivers on average to 100k and then just say oh you know someone who makes 270 times what they make like is deciding these things and then i also realized like kill them flippantly rounding up like that salary to 5k would be an actual like not a good raise but would a meaningful raise to those folks yeah like for sure like my my like just easier math rounding error is like significant compared to.

Yeah. This fucking, you know, number of X, a number of times the CEO makes. It's like ridiculous. Look at what happened in 97, guys. We're fucked. You know what's wild? Even if you broke down, if she made 27.6 million, if you break that down into an hourly wage, you know what she makes an hour?

What? $132,000 a fucking hour. Wow. That's a lot. She got paid $132,000 for literally making that decision. In the hour, it took her to be like, fuck, no, we're not going to give them AC. Moving on.

$132,000. 511,000% of the median income. Nice. Yeah. And that is what, when we talk about the media, that would be more compelling, right? That is a more compelling way to frame that story, but it's just counter to the central ethos of all of these corporations and corporate and for-profit media institutions. Oh, wait, no, my bad. Hold on. I made it billion. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I fucked that up. We have to go back. It's $13,000 an hour. I'm so sorry. It's $13,000 an hour. That's $530,000 a week, $2.3 million a month. Okay, sorry. See, and that's why they win because those numbers aren't as sexy. I'm making thirteen thousand dollars an hour oh okay okay

okay yeah i i do feel like they ignore like the media actively ignores the more compelling angle with like the actual rich fat cats making a decision not to give air conditioning to drivers who are who are actually doing the work for you who are the people who you've met before and some of those people are dying and rather than telling that story which is a more compelling story on a human level they are actively like changing the story to to be you know a lie essentially yeah because i mean basically like every every time one of these like especially like right-wing financial mags but our right-wing media in general aka all of our media yeah like tries to portray like oh these people want all this money for it's like obviously it's been said on twitter a thousand times but like none of these people would survive one shift in any of these jobs.

No. Like Starbucks barista during the morning rush, like half a day doing UPS deliveries, they would literally die. So Howard Schultz would probably start suing the customers, like trying to get a court to grant an injunction against the customers. Like, I can't handle this shit. What the fuck is this? How dare you ask me to sue everybody? Lat customers. Like, I can handle this shit. What the fuck is this? How dare you ask me? I'm going to sue everybody. Latte.

A what? A skinny cat? What the fuck is oat milk? His understanding of regular people is so advanced that he tried to end racism by having conversations between baristas and Starbucks customers. So he gets it.

He's from planet Earth. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy

theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs?

Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right?

Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these, we thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey

that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so, you know, presidential libraries in general are, And so, you know, presidential libraries in general are, it's absurd that they exist. George W. Bush's, like, museum contains an exhibit that makes the case for the invasion of Iraq.

There is a fake situation room where kids can pretend to respond to 9-11. Like, it's, they, yeah, it's like the Disney worldification of like presidents who are committing war. Isn't that such a, that's such a bizarre, like op, like accidental self dunk. Like,

Oh, all these children could do a better job than president George W. Bush. That's bizarre. It was complicated. See, Hey hey pose your babies in here literally any fool would have done a better job interesting the the idea that a president gets to design their own like personal disneyland was like was in my mind the second that

like trump got got elected like just the idea of like oh my God, what would this guy do? It would probably be pretty entertaining. But the idea of a Trump presidential library has been back in the news lately because he claimed that's what he was holding onto those documents for. And he's said that from the start. It's for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and Museum.

Right. And those are like the things like the letter, right? Like the letter Obama gave him about like, yo, keep your eye on North Korea. But then all the other things are like, I was going to frame the list of CIA assets in the Kremlin on display for all to see. But, you know, we are going to need that shit. It's going to be like, this is the shit that battle trump sold to yeah exactly it's gonna be meaningless this is the shit that it's gonna be on display in the museum for the hague but yeah yeah but i don't know it's it's just interesting to like think

about what that's gonna look like so i mean nobody is really taking it seriously that that's what he was actually doing. Sure, sure. But it's his standard go-to explanation for what he was doing. It's like infrastructure week, you know? He's like, yeah, it's for this thing that's coming up at the library in about two to three weeks. You'll hear about that. He's like, what? All right, good pivot.

All right, I'm not going to be mad at you for that bit of improv there. that yeah it's like what all right good pivot all right i'm not gonna be mad at you for that bit of improv there so back in january of 2021 he reportedly was ready and plans to build a two billion dollar library and museum in if you had to guess a state what would it be new york florida uh which would be funded by which would be funded by his supporters. So like neo-Nazi Graceland. Of course it'd be Florida. Yeah. So earnest. I'm like, New York.

And then there was a Republican councilman who made a pitch to house the library on Staten Island. So there you go, Miles. All right. I think the more compelling pitch comes from this Florida real estate agent in 2020 who wanted Trump to buy an entire trailer park, which would become trump town usa complete with the library and a hotel so it would have cost one billion dollars apparently 60 of the residents of the existing trailer park mostly seniors were on board already i'm assuming they were just to be fucking liquidate the other 40 percent assuming they would just liquidate the other 40%. Very, very appropriate. The library begins like his presidency.

It's great. Right. And this random Florida real estate agent said that he was friends with Vanilla Ice. People were like, why do you claim you can make this deal happen? And he's like, I'm friends with Vanilla Ice. People were like, why are you why do you claim you can make this deal happen? And he's like, I'm friends with Vanilla Ice and Vanilla Ice is friends

with Donald Trump Jr. And the word got back to the Trumps without the plan and the Trumps were really into the idea. What's his name? Rip Van Winkle or some shit? It's not Rip, it's Rob Van W's rob van winkle rob van winkle right

right right which already sounds like a fake name yeah robert matthew van winkle yeah yeah why would you bother with vanilla ice right yeah you're just a rob you're fucking bob actually just call him bob van winkle all right just call it a day vanell ice later tweeted i don't know donald trump jr don't understand why they said that the only party i support is the margarita party okay what the fuck is that so he's he's cool he gets it so there but there have been no other announcements about a possible library until trump brought up this is the reason he's holding on to the classified documents if it is going to be anything i don't think it could be like i can't the person is like stands for the actual demise of books so the library part is like hard to wrap

my head around the trump town usa part seems much more like they'll have something to get like the tax break for it to be a library but it's really going to be this whole other like fucking fascist fuck fest yeah no it's going to be like a sign in front of the park that says the future site of the donald j trump presidential library like please donate at da da da goda-gofundme.com. Right. With like a money meter that shows like how close they are to having it fully funded.

It's like, come on, keep throwing your SSI checks at this thing. Yeah. You never quite reach the goal, but you keep on giving just to move the thing up. The thing doesn't move, Andrew. It doesn't fucking move. That's the fucking thing. They fucking think it's going to melt.

We're always going to be halfway there there living on a prayer over but there is room for like a very popular trump presidential library like theme park type thing like for sure i could i feel like there would be so much vandalism at something like that like they already have to put police out in front of shit that has his name on it like if he had a theme park that's probably where like the beginnings of like little you know like societal skirmishes will probably break out motherfuckers like pulling straps at trump town or some shit well i he'll he'll do what he always does which is license it to someone else like he won't build it but he'll let someone put his name on the Donald Trump.

The planet Hollywood folk. Right. Who bankrupted their whole shit. That's right. All right. Should we talk Lord of the Rings guys? Does anybody watched the, the new show?

Oh, that means yes. I have not. Nice. Nice. Okay. So it came out, last weekend which puts people who talk about culture in the unfortunate position of being caught between like you know racist and sexist internet trolls and then like defending a show made by jeff bezos and like right i don't know it doesn't doesn't seem to have like

a ton of soul as far as i can tell thus for thus thus far but people are complaining about the inclusion of actors of color and the portrayal of the elven lady galadriel galadriel galadriel oh shit come on jack i'm dead man as a warrior in a suit of armor basically being like this this isn't realistic to middle earth which is a made up and completely fictional land uh-huh uh-huh yeah i mean i'm again i can't think of a group i have less fucking sympathy for right it's not believable even the fuck are you get out of here the fuck are you talking about yeah it's it's like this thing where like the the folks that require a middle earth to be some sort of like like facsimile of fake like fake europe the all-white europe that never existed even in medieval times it's just like i guess they are less sympathetic than jeff

bezos even though he is a horrible person on the media front because at least he's like letting this happen i don't know it is a let them let them fight Oh, yeah, 100%. I mean, the genre is called fantasy. They are pretty, like, the places where they take place are, like, pretty and idyllic. And to make them all white on top of, like, those things, like, sends a pretty clear message. Like, I don't know. Like, the idea of, like, fantasy being racist, I feel like is a pretty open and closed case. Like the original Lord of the Rings movies are, so there's this edit that somebody did of the original like trilogy,

the original Lord of the Rings trilogy that Peter Jackson won. Not the original, I guess, but the one from 20 years ago. original, I guess, but the one from 20 years ago. And they edited together every line spoken by a non-white actor. And it totaled 46 seconds. And I do think we should watch it together here real quick because the characters are somewhat one note

and specific in what they're into. So there's no subtext there we need to watch out for. Yeah, no, it's pretty clear cut. These are every single actor, person of color with a speaking line in Lord of the Rings movies.

This is all of their lines. It lasts 46 seconds. Here we go.'re all monsters monster what is it what do you smell get a fire going! I'm starving. We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days. Say a lot for

eating. Get back, scum! No! Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys. Okay. Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys. Oh, there wasn't. That was it.

That last one. Yeah, nothing in The Return of the King. And every one of those characters, every one of the non-white actors in the entire trilogy are under, you know, pounds and pounds of makeup and prosthetics and right to look like you know just horrifying monster like undead monsters with decayed faces and the only thing they talk about is eating people and serving sauron and serving sauron who do you serve sauron i mean fantasy as genre, science fiction does this a little bit too,

but it's like, it does feel like, especially that like, I don't know, since like 20th century fantasy, one of the big tenets is like, all races have essential characteristics that are immutable. And they are different than other races. And it's like, that feels like it locks into yeah it has to

be racist eventually yeah or it feels like a tongue-in-cheek way for racists to make racist stuff where they're like yeah and those are the fucking dirty fucking orcs you know what i mean yeah yeah check this out and you're like yeah all right i'm picking up what you're putting out. I'm all for diversity in media is one quote that our writer Dan pulled. That's usually a good opening that you know something good's coming. I just don't think black dwarves or dark-skinned elves belong in Middle

Earth. Oh my god! Just replace elves with people and Middle Earth with my neighborhood. Right. Galadriel should be the pinnacle of feminine energy why do they have her acting like a man you mean like kicking ass the got it and you're a man and i'm sure you kick a lot of ass right angry guy on the internet i'm sure you're a fucking you're better watch out when you hit the fucking streets because you're so fucking macho, what the fuck is this?

I mean, and all of this is, the original books were definitely full of racist, imperialist archetypes. The evil orcs were, quote, black-skinned. Tolkien later referred to them as having slant eyes, Mongol types. Fuck. But even his books had some evidence of dark-skinned elves and hobbits. So it actually, like the Lord of the Rings movies that won all the Oscars that one year were more racist than a racist guy in 1950s made-up universe. Yeah, dude got off the pipe weed and they're still more racist.

Yeah, exactly. dude got off the pipe weed and they're still more racist yeah exactly he at least refused to declare aryan origin to secure a german translation of the hobbit so okay okay we stay in a wolf wolf king okay return of the wolf king but anyway so this is the latest infuriating controversy so and once again we just we stand woke king jeff bezos thank you for being our leader yeah great thanks i like how when he was before he's like you know one of my kids told me don't fuck this up dad and i heard him i heard him i know how important this stuff is so did you direct it jeff i don't know i was giving notes yeah yeah i wonder what did those fucking notes look like can you imagine because he already did you see the thing it's like right now that his like avatar picture or no there was a picture of him eating mcdonald's or something

he tweeted over the weekend like my first job, my first job. Burgers are still great. And he got the midlife crisis chain bracelet on. The man midlife crisis bracelet. You see those chunky ass metal bracelets and shit? Yeah. And I was like, wow. I can only imagine what your takes are on like fucking anything that's content related. If your swag is so like, take this chain bracelet.

Your swag is so like, take this chain bracelet. It's, I feel like anytime a successful person starts getting jet, like ripped, like you, you just, you can immediately be like,

all right, this is a countdown to them having like super weird problematic. I'm sorry, Dave, we saw you. Yeah. You bulked out. Yeah. But,

but also it's like, it's so weird to me that those folks need to be cool in other... You know, obviously, Elon Musk is the king of it, but the most appealing thing about you is your money. And why do you pretend it's anything else? Do you think that leather jacket makes you cool?

No. To the extent that you have anything to offer, it is your money. And just live in that. To be honest, Jeff Bezos should take into consideration for how fucking swag list he is, that that's not being pointed out constantly. That is directly related to the fact that you got so much money.

Nobody even looks at you as a person. Like, man, fuck this creature. And no one's being like, what's that vest? What's that accessory? It's like you're, you've transcended even like our ability to be like to do old school roasts of you how you look it's like fuck yeah it's like gollum entity gollum hit the lottery and got to like got got to get a little work done and right good right and yeah right he

got his ear pierced and shit smiemeagol got a dangle earring. They're like, whoa, Smeagol, what's up? He's like, yes. The hoes are fucking with me now. Like, what? I do wonder if the Seinfeld glow up that we saw in the past couple days, like if that's going to be a new trend among the wealthy entertainers. His plugs.

Well, the plugs have been a trend forever, but his dressing like a 14-year-old. No, but Bezos is Lex Luthor's. You know what I mean? Right, right. Yeah. Is he going to have braids? Or is he going to have that Gen Z broccoli blowout? Right.

Yeah, yeah. That would be funny. Please, please Look if we're all gonna die in the fucking resource wars That have been you know exacerbated by the existence Of billionaires give us something to laugh At in the last couple years please Just a weird haircut Yeah do a fucking

Uh, first tweet is from a Molly Conger as socialist dog mom tweeted. Sadly, it is common for the queen to die after colony collapse sets in. Um, and I was like, hmm, interesting, interesting, interesting. And then another tweet, oh, Scarlet at BBWWYSCAR18 tweeted, Apple be like, high volume may damage your ears. Okay, I don't care. I have that same energy.

Yeah, there's so many good Queen tweets. I don't know where to begin. Dude, did you see the one that was like Irish Twitter right now? And it was the gorilla on the drum set about to do in the air tonight drum fill. It's like a silverback

just pumping themselves. There's a TikTok of these dudes doing a jig in front of buckingham palace that's pretty good yeah jess we whitney tweeted my sister lives in north ireland and just texted saying the neighborhood has started lighting fireworks that's pretty great oh yeah and there was something like there was a tweet about how what's his name has been like her husband has been in a refrigerator yeah mira gonzalez through the funniest part of all this to me is that philip has been in a royal vault fancy refrigerator all this time because he can't be

buried until the queen is there's other like tweets i've seen where people are like the the this is real like people are speculating that the corgis are going to be put down because she stopped breeding them within the past couple years because she didn't want them to survive her, which is fucking wild. So, I don't know.

I mean, they should do that in public for their crimes. Yeah. We shouldn't be surprised. You know, that's what the ancient kings did. They were like, yo, bury me with all my shit. I don't care if they're alive. Bury me with my shit.

I'm taking it to go. This might be one of my proudest moments of having Irish heritage is how Ireland is openly celebrating. I mean, it shows you like how much, I mean, it really speaks to like what the British Empire stands for

in many people's eyes to see that like you know different forms of catharsis is fucking wild and I think it's it is wild to see like this expression of like people's historical you know their concept of history come out in different ways it's wild i
