We need to have the shooters to back up the insane things that we say both online and on the park yeah they will come you know this just just be just put out your honest self and then let that attract the other like-minded people and then yeah that's when people start playing for audiences shit gets weird for real i've had an interesting few weeks on the internet i had like two like big viral posts and one of them got like a overwhelmingly positive response that I didn't expect. And then another one got an overwhelmingly negative response that I didn't expect. I was like, oh my god.

On the internet? Yeah, believe it or not. Not my internet. Too polarizing experience. On X, formerly known as Twitter, believe it or not. Not in this house. I hate that Twitter isn't the artist formerly known as, like, era.

I hate that. In this household, we believe it's still Twitter. It is still Twitter. Yeah, absolutely. I had some friends that, like, kept, like, preventing it from, like, updating it so they could still have the bird, and now the bird is gone.

No one can have the bird anymore. have that horrible eastern european porn app yeah oh yeah it does it does look like that it's like great like yeah this motherfucker definitely designed the logo too like oh yeah like it just looks like absolute shit it looks like it's comparable to the middle school S. You know? Like the S that you drew in middle school. He was definitely doodling that in social studies class.

The equivalent of that. He's like, Mom, do we have a ruler? Do we have another ruler so I can draw two lines? I actually need three rulers to do this he's been like obsessed with the letter x like his whole career it's it's a very like middle school thing like it's like the letter x it sounds so cool right i mean his whole persona is very middle school like the jacket the the hair plugs all middle schoolers with hair plugs yeah

that's the one place that i actually uh defend elon musk i don't think he got hair plugs i think he just grew that shit back through sheer tyranny i don't know what if there's a fanboy so so out there that he was i'll tell you no that's not that's not uh hair plugs actually those are I'll tell you. No, that's not hair plugs, actually. Those are real. I'll tell you how he did it. Estrogen. It is possible that he's on some variant of donkey testosterone

that uber-rich people can get to grow their hair. The kind that Brian Johnson is about to make available for the public. Yeah. Donkstoss. I love that guy. Donkstoss. I want them to fight. Elon Musk and Brian Johnson? Yeah. We need Mother to save us.

Mother Brian. Wait, Brian Johnson is... Mother. He's Mother. Okay. Brian Johnson is the rich guy who's trying to make himself de-age with like penis taking a little bit of estrogen yeah penis he is taking yeah he is like microdosing estrogen i can see it in his breasts like i could see it any picture where he takes his shirt off i'm like like, those aren't female nipples. You can't fool me.

I know them shits are soft. He was using his son as a blood bag at one point. Yes. That was a Peter Thiel move too. He's ripping off Thiel's whole fucking sweat, man. He's doing it in a gayer, in a slayer way.

So I have to appreciate that a little bit. The nail polish really, I mean, she matches her nails to her blouses. She really does look so, like, if she like, or if he, I'm misgendering Brian Johnson. If he dressed a little feminine, he would pass. He literally looks so soft and supple. As a man, why are you looking supple? I think he's pulling it off.

Elon, Brian Johnson, fashion icon. No, Elon looks like shit. Elon looks like a fucking Elden Ring mob. No, Elon looks like he would deal death blight damage to you if you were too close to his vicinity.

But Brian Johnson, serving fish. Brian Johnson looks like an Elden Ring NPC that sells sells you like the good sorceries. Right. Right. Right. Right.

Right. Like he looks like he will grant you a crown when you finish his tragic quest line. Elon Musk, you have to like drive like an ancient stake through his heart. He's like a gimmick fight that like he kills you in five minutes if you don't do like the exact like platforming, right? Well, that's why you got to watch Janie's YouTube channel where you learn all the secrets to take down these obscure bosses. For real. I did make a TikTok video where it was like my Elden Ring guide for today. And it's like today's guide is coming out to your parents.

All right. Well, we're going to get to know you both a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about. Nikki Haley, we're going to talk about her after, you know,

she's got New Hampshire coming up. She came in third in Iowa and is spinning that as a win. Girl power. Yes. Girl power. Yes. Girl bossing. We also, we do have to get to this eBay story today. Okay. One of the wildest fucking things we've ever seen on the dot.

I know. Making Scientology look tame. I don't know what y'all, I haven't looked at the news. Yeah, this one. This one's coming back around. Our writer, JM. Yeah, this one came back around and pretty wild. But before we get to any of it, Carmen, Janie, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history?

Well, the thing that's actually at the top of my search history is my own name. That's embarrassing. No, it's not. We're going to skip that. Go on. I was Googling myself to find my lookbook from when i was 16 by the way and i couldn't find it because i think the lookbook is no longer around but if anyone finds it let me know and okay the other thing i actually have is watching escape from la last night so of course

when you watch a movie you google the movie you're watching right so that you can read about it the whole time you're watching it and uh it sucks that movie fucking it's so bad i love escape from new york right yeah escape from new york rules yeah i loved it so i was like i was like my boyfriend is like dying from like the flu or something under like 900 blankets so i was like well i can't find escape from new york for free so let's watch escape from la and it feels like a fever dream where you're dying yeah So I was like, well, I can't find Escape from New York for free. So let's watch Escape from L.A. Your movie feels like a fever dream where you're dying. Yeah. Yeah.

And it really was. I felt like the daughter in the electric chair at the end. The scene when he's surfing is so sick. Oh, my God. Wasn't like through the L.A. River? I saw that shit in theaters. Same. Like because of the surfing on the L.A. River. Like I think that was in theater same like because of the because of the surfing on the la river

like i think that was in the trailer and i was like yes please what it was like the the trailer promised what if escape from new york crossed with like teenage mutant ninja turtles too you know it was just like over the top carting fun. And it was just, yeah, it didn't, unfortunately that was the best part of the movie. Yeah. I just remember,

I still like, I haven't seen the movie in years, but I do remember that one of the last lines is right. Because snake Plissken just deads all the technology on earth. And I think she goes, he turned off the world. You know, on my mind,

I was like, yo, that's that shit that was fucking 12 when that movie came out was in 96 or something i was like yo bro he fucking turned off the fucking world oh my god never come like all of these are ideas that could be in a good movie that's also how they live and basically basically. He just explodes the system. He basically turns off the world. I have not seen They Live. They Live is a lot better.

The first half of They Live is amazing. This is so good. It's wild to look at the soundtrack. The acts that are on the soundtrack. These kind of make sense tool white zon yeah it's like kills ministry sex pod death tones tori amos love that was trent resner's girlfriend in the 90s if if I'm not mistaken. Oh, really? Yeah.

Is Pam Grier plays a trans woman? Really? I don't remember that. Oh, my God. I was like, that's when I started getting annoyed with the movie because they had her voice, they had Pam Grier's voice

under some sort of tone. She sounds like Dr. Girlfriend from Dr. Bros. Yes, under some sort of filter. And I'm like, wow, Pam Greer looks stunning, but oh my God, like,

did they have to put that voice filter on her? They're like, no, that ain't that's car. Jack Malone. Right. That was a character's name. Jack Malone.

Jack. Jack Malone was her character. Wow. Yes. And now that's Hershey Las Palmas. Yes, exactly. And I was like, what the fuck? What kind of whack-ass name is that, too?

I was not prepared for a trans character in this horrible movie. Yeah, done dirty like that, right? Yeah. Janie, what's something from your search history? Shit, dude. I got, like, I don't have anything as spicy as last time. I got an English to Spanish translator.

Okay. Pizza near me. I was looking up what Pacific Standard Time was. I found a white... Oh yeah, Janie texts me today at 11.30 while I'm at my laser appointment.

They do. Wow. There you go. I guess one interesting thing was I started watching the show The Curse on Showtime, the new Nathan Fielder show. And I told my boyfriend that it's improvised. It's like Curb Your Enthusiasm where there's a script,

but all the dialogue's improvised. And he's like, no, the fuck it's not.'s not and i was like no i swear i read it somewhere and i was trying to find where i read it and i i think i made it up and i don't i can't really confirm if i actually yeah read if i actually did read that somewhere or not that's my story should i say on this show is that yeah just off the strength of my male confidence right straight up yeah and then i gotta i then i like occasionally i humble myself to like my partner i'll be like yo okay so i was so fucking wrong about this earlier like you were right by even questioning it because even though you didn't look for it i tried to find the evidence and i could not find it so that was yeah in my head it's i'm like actually like crazy so like i really can't i don't feel like i should apologize because i did it's very possible i did read that in my mind

palace somewhere right right right yeah yeah you get some things mixed up in the mind i'm not lying and i'm also not wrong even even if I gave wrong information. I'm not lying. Oh, I like that. You admit to nothing. This is something Trump is doing in court right now. Yeah, exactly. And as your lawyer, Janie, I would just advise

that you continue along that path. Do not admit anything, no matter what. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll do some overrated, underrated. We'll be right back. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll do some overrated, underrated. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap. And the dealer might not even know.

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and janie what is something you think is overrated okay so i've i've toyed around with this one for a while because last time we were on here i think we pissed off a lot of people because i said women but um i wrote down something that's going to piss off even more people. I wrote being goth. And I want to explain myself a little bit.

I think that goth is in my brain. It's like being straight edge where like if you like just don't drink, like that's fine. Like if you're like just sober, I think that's cool. But if you're like, no, I am straight edge. Like that's my identity. I think that's fine. Like if you're like just sober, I think that's, that's cool. But if you're like, no, I am straight edge. Like that's my identity. I think that's lame.

So I think that anytime someone like, I don't know. I think that anytime someone is like overly like performative about their identity, I find it very grating. And when people are like, like, yeah,

I like, I'm, I am a goth I'm like are you convincing me or convincing yourself yeah like I mean I see that your black lipstick is crooked so you didn't really have to tell me that but

yeah I see that you're dressed like one of the dead members of mayhem Janie chose violence wow did a goth wrong you recently yeah who no i have goth friends and they're hot and cool and i i think that's awesome but you tell them you're like yo but you too goth what's the equivalent of being like a sober person who doesn't

like make it their whole personality for goth just like being someone who embraces human death and mortality without like making it their whole makeup stuff i think i think that there's just like a more kind of like i think honestly i it's sort of like when i see someone that is wearing shorts and on a really cold day oh my god i'm like i'm like what the fuck are you doing you are visibly uncomfortable and it's pissing me off it's like when i see someone on like tuesday in the middle of the day with like chains all over their body and it looks like this took like hours to do their makeup and everything i'm like like, you don't have to do all this. Like you can wear like a little bit of like, you know, spooky, like, like dramatic eyeshadow and just kind of like a black dress or whatever.

Right. And I think that that's fine. I don't think you need to dress like you're in like a new metal 90s rave. Like when you're going to like a fucking applebee's like that to me is like you're signaling too much and i just it's something that bothers me it's like i you look uncomfortable right like you can do less and get the same point across yeah that's like gosh yeah my partner she hates when i wear a full Lakers uniform out to eat. And I'm like, yeah, but they're playing tonight.

I got to let people know. She's like, you have noodle arms and they don't look good in this tank top. And I'm like, it doesn't matter. This is LeBron's jersey. This is LeBron's jersey. Okay, yeah, I get that. And my wife hates it when I wear a full Dodgers uniform

with the stirrups and the tight pants and everything. I know. And the cleats. And she keeps telling me, you're not even the coach of our kids' little league team. You're like, but I want them to know if they needed somebody. You have like a jock strap on and everything. Yeah, yeah. Oversized, you know.

Send a message. They played the movie Cruising at the Plaza like last year. played the movie cruising at the plaza like last year and uh if you don't know that's a movie where like al pacino is like an undercover cop and he has to pretend to be like a gay like we talked about al pacino movies every time we come on did we last time yeah we talked about uh what is it dog day afternoon yeah i did right but al pacino is like he goes in like the underground like gay like leather scene to like catch a murder and i dressed up in the underground gay leather scene to catch a murder. And I dressed up in full leather gear to see the movie. To see.

And I thought it would be fun. And it was uncomfortable. And no one else dressed up. And I felt kind of silly. That's to say, I'm guilty of this too. Right, right, right. But that's the thing that tends to bother us, that bothers us about other people

are things that we see in ourselves too, in some way. That's true. What is something that you guys think is underrated? I came up with one on the spot. Okay. I'm going to say, underrated,

being concerned for other people's well-being out on the street. So going, it's cold as fuck outside as i say it is colder than a witch's titty in a brass bra right now okay i know i'm getting old because i went to ashville last week and i saw a girl a young girl, probably 17, 18, wearing a tank top and shorts. And it was 30 degrees outside. And I was angry. I was ranting about it in the car. I was like to my boyfriend, I'm like, I know that girl is fucking cold.

I know she's cold. Right. Yeah, she didn't grow up north of the wall. You know what I mean? She's not a fucking wildling. She can't fucking hang with that kind of temperature. Wait, is that purely because she's trying to look cute? Yes.

It's always young people. I'm feeling old now because I'm 30. But I'm like, wow, it's always young people. They don't have enough money for coats. We need to start giving young people money to buy coats. You know, they're not buying. They're spending their money on drugs and whatever else, hit clips, whatever else they're buying.

I'm just taking this down so that I can talk to my fellow old people about it. But they need these dang kids to start buying jackets. Yeah. They're buying skibbity toilets yeah they're over leveraged in skibbity toilets it's just it's terrible or carmen you just got to start cruising around with those like uh emergency reflective blankets yeah that fold up real good you're like hey you know what let me just hook you up just turn that into like a shawl or something i know you're cold just take it yeah just take it i like the idea of someone that's like freezing on the sidewalk and you're like aren't you cold and they like

turn to you and they show you like that they've bought like every like fortnight skin we're good here i'm comfortable i sleep just fine at night the drip keeps me warm that's right unless they're from massachusetts if it's mad that that's just massachusetts culture being like wearing shorts yeah i remember seeing that and being upset though too as a californian i'm like you're really wearing fucking flip-flops and shorts right now yeah i'm in like three coats bro yeah okay it's almost like offensive like you're trying to like show off right now yeah like i think it might be because we're from the south and when we see like someone it's it's very it's like that fucking yankee i

hope they get hypothermia i hope they die yeah they die from goosebumps on their legs you think i forgot that sherman made georgia how you forgot that? Doctor, we have to amputate him below the shorts. Janie, what is something you think is underage? I wrote down two things, but I think I want to go with the more fun one that I like talking about, and that is

sex scenes in movies. Hell yeah! Because I'm a pervert, and I like watching them, and I think it's cool. I re-watched the day... I actually bought it on Criterion because I had a Barnes & Noble gift card from

Secret Santa. The movie Crash, the David Cronenberg movie. And I kind of... It's been a while since I've seen it, and I forgot that every fucking other scene of it's been a while since i've seen it i forgot that like every fucking other scene of that movie is a gratuitous and pervy aberrant sex scene and it's a beautiful film and it like really like i don't know like i think it's very i i was thinking to myself how funny it is that a lot of people that are like ostens ostensibly, like, leftist or, like, pro-queer, pro-disabled, pro-all these kind of things, like, ostensibly.

And they're very uncomfortable with the portrayals of, like, sex in movies. And I find what I find interesting is that like if you had a bit of media literacy, like good sex scenes like convey so much about aberrant sexuality and liberatory sex and polyamorous sex and queer sex. And I don't know. I just think it's awesome. And I think if people could put down their prudishness for a minute, then they could appreciate, I don't't know a lot of a lot of really beautiful cinema that there is so yeah this is the second thought we always talk about how the movies are less and less horny these days it's it's so sad to me it's true because in the 90s there was like in early 2000s like there was like a whole genre of like erotic thrillers and like like like like

really the last like movie i think that i've seen in the mainstream that like its selling point was its eroticism was like 50 shades of gray right and that movie sucks yeah and maybe also maybe salt burn and that movie also sucks so yeah i don't know i just think it's sad to me that like think that that's like a bygone era because i don't know i think there's just a lot of like beauty and there's a lot of like things that can be like studied about the human condition through portrayals of like intimacy and film and it's i also think the history god damn taking it from us god damn zoomers i think the history is too important to ignore too just like the fact that like it took so long for sex to even like for the liberation of like free sex and all of that free love whatever to like

be portrayed on on like mainstream movies and stuff movies and stuff. Yeah, and, like, The Hays Code and, like, all of that, like, how much time had to be, like, like, inferred and, like, I don't know. Like, it's, it's just, it's such an inherently, like, reactionary thing. Like, I'm always going to be, like, pro-art in, like, almost any form. I'm always going to be, like, for the medium of art, and I'm always going to defend it. So it just always, like, will, like, always piss me off when people, like, try to make arguments like that.

And it's, like, every fucking week on Twitter, you have, like, some, like, 19-year-old. Yeah, who hasn't, like, who's, like, seen, like, four movies and is like, I think sex scenes are uncomfortable and unnecessary. With an anime profile picture. Yeah. Watch better movies. I don't know what to tell you.

I wanted to say, oh, well, totally unrelated, but Janie, we have got to watch Body of Evidence together. My favorite erotic thriller. Have you seen Body Double? And there's also Body Heat, which are two other erotic thrillers.

Just a sub-genre of movie. Erotic thrillers with body in the name. Body of Evidence is Madonna and Willem Dafoe. Oh, let's go. Madonna pours hot wax on Willem Dafoe. Yay! It is such a horny, hot, fucking movie. pours hot wax on Willem Dafoe. Yay!

It is such a corny, hot, fucking movie. There's a scene where Madonna is at an acupuncturist and Willem Dafoe is jerking it to Madonna naked on this acupuncturist table. With needles in her body? Yes, with the needles in her body.

Okay, Willem. I bet his facial expressions were not freaky in that scene have you seen crash carmen i haven't but i talked about it it's the one about car yeah yeah it's unfortunately in this household the only crash that we acknowledge is uh best picture winner that should actually be one of the things on that original, like, in this house, we believe. The only crash. Paul Haggis' crash is the only crash. Have y'all seen the one where they a la carte that and they cross out the thing that says no human is illegal?

Yeah, no human is illegal. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah. That's not what that sign's for, but okay. Yeah, they're like a la carte-ing. Oh, thank you. Not that one.

Yeah. I like a la carte intersectionality. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Should we get into the news? Yeah, why not? As we talked about on yesterday's trending, Trump won big in Iowa?

Is that Iowa? Yeah. And Nikki Haley came in third, which, you know... Who came in second? Ron DeSantis. Oh, okay. But he. Who came in second? Ron DeSantis. Oh, okay. But he had like gone. Ron DeSantimonious. Ball Ron.

He had gone in big being like, we're going to come, we're either going to win or come very close to winning. And he got beat pretty badly. So people are reading this as a L for his campaign. Nikki Haley is trying to spin it as a win how's it going miles she's saying it's a two horse race i think i was like it's clear that this is down to be two candidates and i think she's saying because of the work she's done in north uh or new hampshire and then her home state of south carolina she's like yeah i got this like they're definitely into my candidacy and probably have already completely forgotten that i memory hold the entire American Civil War. So I think we're good because I didn't bother them

anyway. I'll be honest. I think Nikki Haley, just like from the conservative perspective, I think she is a more viable candidate than Ron DeSantis. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's proving to be. I think Ron DeSantis is extremely repellent. And

I mean, like as far as like conservative candidates go, like this is all, this is all so superfluous. It's going to be Trump. The only thing that could maybe prevent it is some of the legal stuff. Right. But assuming that there's another person in the running, I think that they're going to need kind of a more like moderate, like vote at least to like make any like headway.

And I don't think they're going to get that through Ron DeSantis. But they maybe could do Nikki Haley. Yeah. Maybe. And she's also she's polished and like she's likable in that sense that she knows how to get people to like her. Ron DeSantis does not know how to do that. Yeah. He doesn't know how to act like a human being.

He doesn't know how to smile. The smiles in the debates are some of the greatest, I don't know, human specimens of discomfort and unnatural squirming in the face of attention. It does tap into something about like how i feel when i'm like walking in front of people and i'm like oh god they're looking at what i'm doing with my hands aren't they it triggers like your fight or flight when you see it like it's like it's i don't know it gives you like this like lizard brain feeling right like oh like is this an act of violence against me? I'm not sure how to interpret this. Technically, it is.

Social violence. So Nikki Haley, I think she's very much now, she's flexing her conservative hypocrisy muscles because I think it was Killmeat on Fox & Friends did a softball. People are saying this is a racist country. What do you think about America? Is it a racist country?

And Nikki Haley, wow, you swung for the fences and really fucking crushed this one. Can't wait to hear this. Are you a racist party? Are you involved in a racist party? No, we're not a racist country, Brian. We've never been a racist country. Our goal is to make sure that today is better than yesterday. Are we perfect? No. But our goal is to always make sure we try and be more perfect every day that we can i know i faced racism when i was growing up i can tell you today is a lot better than it was then our goal is to lift up everybody it did happen i'm going to divide people on race or gender or party or anything else we've had enough of that

in america that's why i'm so passionate about doing this. I don't want my kids growing up where they're sitting there thinking that they're disadvantaged because of a color or gender. I want them to know that if they work hard, they can do anything they want to do in America. Terms and conditions do apply to that statement

and all of it. 100%. I think, I mean, she's kind of like their elizabeth warren in like so many ways because she's like very like she's only going to be there as kind of like a spoiler to any other candidates and she also is pretending to be a different race or something like that i forgot what that is is she pretending to be Native American? Yeah, she was trying to claim some kind of, yeah, yeah, indigenous bloodline or whatever.

And people were like, damn, her and Elizabeth Warren would make a great like Thelma and Louise style couple. Yeah, oh my God. Well, I was going to say what really alarmed, I mean, not alarmed me

about Nikki Haley, but whatever, I'm not, I'm not like scared of her or anything. But I did see a clip of her talking about abortion and whatever and she's really trying to feminize the Republican stance on abortion

I'll be honest though like I think that that's probably kind of smart like I feel it is and that's why I'm saying that scares me you know yeah I feel like that is such a like it's their biggest like losing issue by like a long shot. And I feel like the best chance they have at like getting like a broader coalition is by just biting the bullet and being like, yeah, we'll reverse ways, the law of the land. And I've been kind of like curious like to

see like who's going to do it first and i guess it would make sense if well she's like she's definitely backed off of being so hardline and she's been like you know i don't know if it's smart to like to keep really thinking about this kind of stuff and try to avoid it in that sense she also made it like i saw a clip of her saying like something about how we need to stop shaming people and women for abortion. And like we need to start. And she's like basically alluding to like we need to start supporting women and babies, which is like never been the Republican stance. And so I'm like, I'm like, you're never going to become babies. It's over.

They're not. Yeah. Once they become babies. Yeah. Yeah. Adoption. No fucking way i just said that just to say that but it is wild when she said like this country's never been racist

then be like except for when i was experienced race a lot of racism i experienced as a kid but that was back then so it's never been now yeah we're just saying and you know and i get it we're not perfect so does that mean that they're because there's racism that people are having to experience? That's because there's liberals. It's so disingenuous. We're not perfect because people are woke. Right, right, right. If my kids don't know about racism, if I don't tell them about it, if they don't hear about it,

then they're just going to be like completely immune to it or something. I mean, her kids will be immune to it because they're white. Well, they're rich gonna be like completely immune to it or something yeah i mean her kids will be immune to it because they're white well they're rich yeah or white passing yeah because like for her you know she grew up in a Sikh Indian family and it's funny because in her own book she talks about all the time the fucking racism that her and her family had to experience in South Carolina and she's like it's a lot better today And then a few reporters like went to her town and like asked like people like, do you think it's less racist?

They're like, hell no. She just got richer and moved. And those were the racist people they asked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hell no, man. But they said like in one book, quote, in another section of her book, Haley recollects how her father was profiled

by law enforcement due to his turban and how her brother begged to break with Sikh tradition to have his hair cut due to relentless bullying and how at the age of eight she was disqualified from a local beauty pageant due to the color of her skin. She's definitely not. She's making that one up. She was busted.

It has definitely not become a more friendly place to be a brown person or someone wearing a turban like in anywhere in this country yeah no so what is the story with so where is her brother today i'm wondering like i have no idea she doesn't speak to them she's a woman now i was like i've been like thinking to myself uh wouldn't it be great if he spoke up and was like fuck that bitch but yeah i mean that's a classic move to like only like like to say like like racism misogyny misogyny sexism all that like doesn't exist until it like applies to

you like that's a very like old school like conservative thing like like i like a lot of like black republicans do this where like they say like we're very far past race and like slavery was like 400 years ago and blah blah blah and then it's like well people are uh persecuting me because i have these views and i'm black and it's like you can't really like play both things like that you know it's either it's either it doesn't exist it never exists it never has existed never will exist or like it exists and it manifests in a myriad of ways throughout my life right yeah right yeah or or it does exist when it applies to me and my conservative beliefs like that's like i don't know that always pisses me off and people are like super like anti-wokeness and like yeah people i don't know people are so

sensitive nowadays and then it's like well oh now people are like being like iokeness and like, yeah, people, I don't know, people are so sensitive nowadays. And then it's like, well, oh, now people are like being like, I don't know, like you just, they just always want to have it both ways. Like, yeah. And truly for this, like with Nikki Haley, it's like this country has never been racist except for all that time when I was a child. And then I stopped thinking about it. And then I got a new husband, I changed my name, and then I'm good. Yeah. Right. Yeah. But again, that's the worldview that the voters want to have, too, because I think it really helps them not have to really contend with actual legitimate issues of racism. If your go-to argument is always like, well, this country was never racist. You know, it's like a lot of people want to paint this country with this brush or whatever. And you're like, okay.

Yep. Yeah. See what you're doing. All right. Let's take another quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago

when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And let's talk eBay. They've been fined $3 million.

For like, what, a skirt and longs? That doesn't sound like that much for a company as eBay's size. It is the maximum that you could be fined for what they've done here. And then there's probably a civil suit pending. But so forced to pay $3 million to resolve criminal charges stemming from several of its former employees. Charges which include stalking, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice. I'm sorry. Is eBay run by the Church of Scientology? What is going on?

It would appear so, based on the story. Yeah, they're doing some fair game. Yeah. Yeah. So, the actual crimes happened back in 2019. If they're ever to make a movie of this like the social network will look so tame in comparison to this like tech bro horror show they basically risked it all to take down a block it's like it's like you know those movies like michael clayton or like the pelican brief where

like a corporation like starts like assassinating people because like for the purposes of profitability the firm you know like it's like that but for the wildest like most inoffensive like low stakes shit it was so there's this married couple that ran a newsletter called e-commerce bytes. Bytes spelled B-Y-T-E-S. Oh, I get it. So, wait, do you guys get it? I just want to make sure everybody gets it. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So, it made eBay's executives...

Because they're bisexual. Yes, exactly. They're swingers, right. Got it. Got it. Copy. It made them so angry, including then-CEO David wenig and then chief communications

officer steven weimer that they like enlisted these like six people they have a head of security and that like which is again like something straight out of those movies where it's like, yeah, I'd handle security for eBay. You're like, oh, so you're a security guard on the, yeah. No, no. Denzel Washington and Man on Fire. Yes. Yeah. I help solve abstract problems that the company might face.

Right. So the harassment campaign began after they, like, this head of security reached out to the Steiners, the people who ran the blog and were like, hey, could you shut the fuck up? And they were like, oh, no, we're just an independent blog. We feel like we need to speak our truth. And so

one of the things that they had pointed out on their blog is that the CEO's $18 million salary was 152 times what the average worker got, which is like really straightforward. Yeah. What the fuck? Y'all just doing your thing as a company. Like, yeah, of course I make 152 X what the worker does. So next, the security team conspicuously like and specifically were like like all right we're going to start a harassment

campaign watch those the 80s team comedy teen comedy johnny be good starring anthony michael hall and robert downey jr in which a villainous football coach is pranked with pizza deliveries hari krishnas and a male stripper they did homework for this they did homework so this is this is what they took from them. They had the pizzas delivered. They were like, that's a killer idea. Holy shit. I can't. Like, apparently they were never in middle school.

I would be like, yummy pizza and strippers. Someone was really thinking about me. They also sent a fetal pig, a bloody pig mask, live cockroaches,

and a book about surviving the loss of a spouse, along with a funeral wreath. A funeral wreath with that book is pretty fucking gangster. That is so menacing.

They also mailed copies of Hustler, but not... So at first you're like, cool, thank you. To the couple's neighbors with the husband's name on it. Oh, that's dope. I would have done like gay porn. That would have been way funny. Yeah. Hustler.

That's so trendy. Come on. Tranny's Weekly. funny yeah right that's so trendy come on trannies weekly and then they posted craigslist ads with the couple's address inviting people over for sexual encounters oh so they were swingers that's dope that's awesome called it this is so wild it's just like i love though that for real the guy was was like, okay, watch Johnny B. Good. And then like when the pizza probably weren't doing it,

they're like, we got to go harder. Okay, now let's just put up random ads looking for like casual sex to be like, just talk through the door. Yeah. All right.

Johnny B. Good didn't watch, didn't work. Let's watch Saw 3. Right. Let's get some more ideas in here. Let's get some more ideas in here. I mean, the fetal pig thing was cool, but they ate it. So we got to come up

with something different, something more edgy. Their strategy was to make the couple so scared that they would then have to turn to eBay to ask for help to stop the attacks, thus winning the Steiner's confidence and manipulating them into favorable coverage of eBay. So at this point, it just sounds like

somebody did a lot of cocaine or some other stimulant, rambled for three nights, like 36 hours in a row, and they just were cursed to do everything that they came up with in that meeting. And nobody said that's a bad idea. Yeah. Or illegal. And then they're going to have to like turn to us because they're going to be so scared.

Imagine right there just waiting for them. They're going to be thanking us. They're going to be so happy. You think you're going to fucking die and then. Hello. What? eBay. Oh, you can fucking help me.

Dude, then I fucking love you. You fucking see there's the white knight fucking strategy, bro. Straight out of that other fucking movie we just fucking watched. Were these people old? The people that they did this to? Because this seems like something that would only work on old people. Right. I mean, probably...

When I'm picturing them, they're like 40s, 50s. That is based on absolutely nothing. But they were young enough to catch them when, so after all of this and their plan was just working perfectly, they then decided they had to travel from eBay in I think Northern California, Silicon Valley, they had to travel from ebay and i think northern california silicon valley to massachusetts and put a tracker on their car and they were spotted and the police were contacted the police called the fbi and and you know the rest of it from here yeah so ebay security team tried to delete evidence

and falsify records to throw authorities off the trail. They even considered enlisting a friendly in a Bay Area police department to provide falsified security camera footage. Seven former eBay employees have been convicted of felonies. communications officer who texted, we are going to crush this lady. And the former CEO who issued the order, take her down. We're never charged, of course, because it is America. Taylor's oldest time. Okay, I just have to scroll back up to double check when the dates of these events were. This was eBay well after its prime.

This is eBay in 2019 when virtually... I don't know anybody who's using it. Sure, yeah. It makes sense if it was like they were just drunk on power when they were the only internet. It's like the beanie baby heyday. The only site on the internet.

So this was in 2019 that they were fighting so hard for eBay, which I don't know. Are they still doing big business these days? I don't know. My boyfriend uses it a lot. People still use it. There's cool shit you can buy there. It's funny. I used eBay for the first time

last year because I was looking for a pair of pants that they stopped selling. And lo and behold, someone found them at a Ross recently. Wow. I was like, hey, man, there'll be a markup. And I'm like, yes, give me those cargos now. Last time I used eBay was to buy some illegal Pokemon

and have them directly transferred into my Pokemon home. Shout out to the Pokemon headshot. Wait, illegal Pokemon? Yeah, on eBay, you can buy Pokemon. Well, you can't anymore because I don't think... That are real? Yeah, that are real. I use them in my game. It's against the law because of animal smuggling. Obviously.

You can only have three Bulbasaurs on a residential property. Miss, you have a tentacruel waiting for you at the post office. Do we need to give it water? No, no, no. You have an illegal Ursa ring, ma'am. Yeah.

It just means that all their stats are like super high. They're like illegal for competitions. They're like illegal to play in Pokemon Stadium. If I brought them online, I would get my ass kicked by the Pokemon company. Right, right. Exactly. Well, fuck them. Don't let them hold you down like that.

Yeah. Pokemon company. Don't let them hold you down like that. Team Rocket was harassing this poor couple. Jesse and James. Yeah. That is very Jesse coded to be like, send gay porn to their house.

Did we send enough pizzas, James? Let me examine the gay porn that gay porn to their house. Did we send enough pizzas, James? Let me examine the gay porn that we send to their house. And then they sent James over cross-dressed to be the stripper. Allow me to cross-dress into their home. They're like, how does that? They're like, just let me do it.

James looking for any excuse to cross-dress. Meowth is like, I don't know boss I don't know how this helps us This will take them down for sure I hope somebody out there does It is wild though You talk about how much money was going around

The fucking Was it the CEO who got like a fucking crazy payment? Yeah. The CEO was forced to resign. So, uh, got his ass, uh,

and received a $40 million severance package. Oh, slay. And is now got reelected to the board of general motors because according to the general motors chief executive, the regrettable eBay scandal didn't involve any GM businesses. Yeah. I mean, the thing is, like,

if this is what eBay's up to, God, you know Amazon is, like, torturing people in, like, South America. They've got people in the basement. They have black sites all over the United States. It was just, like, this was the security detail that eBay could afford.

So that's why they got caught. They couldn't successfully drop a bug on somebody's car or a tracking device on somebody's car. They were having to go to 80s movies. I'm imagining Discogs being like, that's the guy that's devaluing my beach house records. Shout out to Discox.

I love you some Discox. All the fucking music heads out there. That was a joke. I'm not besmirching Discox. Yeah, wait. So you get a knock on your door. Imagine the CEO of Letterboxd being like, they're bringing down About Schmidt's Letterboxd score.

Send a hornet's nest to their house. Kill them. Crush them. Literally. Fucking raise the home to the ground. Oh, shit. Jesus. Amazing.
