I added the last part because I guess I was just discussing how Conan was being eulogized over the weekend due to his Hot Ones video going viral.
And I was saying.
It was very good.
It was very good.
I was saying that as an elderly millennial, I was familiar with Conan,
less familiar with Hot Ones.
I think that was the first time
I had watched a whole Hot Ones
all the way through.
You should know Hot Ones, too.
There's some good ones.
Yeah.
The first time I ever watched
a Hot Ones all the way through
was the Cate Blanchett episode,
and I was...
That was good.
I think I'm gay now, you know?
I was just...
Yeah, but I acknowledged I was wrong.
I said it was an old take, and then people were like,
some real old takes happening with re-hot ones today.
And I was like, yeah, no, that's correct.
I'm old as fuck.
Also, I didn't mean to be mean to the, I just,
I think I just said that it was like an episode of Conan O'Brien's podcast,
except he's in pain, which is the premise of the show, I believe.
But did not mean to diss.
I thought it was cool.
Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined once again by my co-host.
He's back.

And I'm glad I was able to be there.
And the priest at the very traditional Japanese wedding
came up to me and put like this traditional hat on my head.
And when I asked why he did it,
why he chose me, he said,
oh, cause you don't have hair.
And all these other people do.
And I didn't want to mess up their hair.
By Japanese priest?
Yeah, by a Shinto priest.
It's his fucking absolute dagger to the chest.
But hey.
That's basically the plot of Martin Scorsese's
Silence.
I think that's what it's about.
Dagger to the chest
from a Shinto priest.
Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our

We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.
We're just going to do a brief history of Trump dozing off in public.
This guy just fucking hates sleep.
He's like a kid at a sleepover party.
I get it admit he fell asleep
and insists on being like the last one he's just lying so he spent all day of his first trial like
getting mad at people for saying he was asleep and then he promptly on a second day fell asleep
again yeah just like right away have you like i do think this is something that we all we all think
we're not sleeping as much as we actually are and it's like easy to not think that you're like you're
like oh i got terrible sleep and you're like really i was next to you all night you slept for
like six you were snoring for six hours solid oh right i think it's a thing we say to like sort of be like i'm not taking you i barely
slept you did listen have you guys ever been to court it's boring it's so boring so all the things
that he's falling asleep in we're gonna take a history all the things he's falling asleep in
are things that i would fall asleep yeah i can't get too mad i mean i guess i'd be a little bit
freaked out if you was on criminal trial
If you're taking uppers all day
And you're like oh shit man
It's also funny because he loves
Opera which is like
Widely considered one of the most boring
Fucking things in the world
But I feel like
Narcissists
Like him loved opera
Like it's the one place where they're allowed to cry.
Two things that
Trump and
Hannibal Lecter have in common. They love
opera. Andrew Lloyd Webber.
That clip of him talking about
how much a fan of the opera
is.
One of the greats. So great.
I look, I watch.

Of course, we've heard about them from our favorite spokesperson, Tucker Carlson.
Oh, yeah.
Tucker is a big, yeah, you know, say what you want about the guy.
He's got good taste in oral nicotine.
Yeah.
Nicotine makes you smarter.
It makes you healthier.

an 11th of the way there oh man all this shit is there's like it's like a it's gate
or you know age gated for to even look at the rewards i guess as it should be miles is under
18 everybody should know that a leatherman army knife yeah oh wow give me that and it's not
branded none of this stuff is like swag branded no that would be cool they do have these cool
they're like they're like the zen canisters but they're
made of metal and i've honestly been thinking about cashing in for that because they're cheap
and i could use them to keep my uh earplugs on when i play oh yeah okay yeah look they got gopros
and shit damn they're not fucking around they want you they want you chewing these shits yeah they they know their
audience too they know their audience so well they don't chew chewing tobacco either you know

no so they know the audience for your new healthier lifestyle yeah yeah by the way sorry i was absent
for a couple minutes i had to watch paris Hilton get killed in House of Wax.
It is a great death scene.
Everybody should go watch it.
It's up on YouTube.
I won't spoil it for you.
See Paris die.
No, I'm not endorsing a nicotine addiction.
I'm just saying, like, I mean, while you're there.
But a trigger is cool.
Yeah.
I will endorse a trigger smoker.
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Well, since I have you here.
I will stay addicted to nicotine the rest of my life
if it means I can get a badass offset smoker in my backyard.
There you go.
I'm still waiting for the medical research to come in
to tell me whether like Zins are safe.
And if they are, I'm going right back baby they're doctors
number one choice their taste right but janie what do you do once you get the traeger i'm gonna
fucking smoke with it dude what are you talking about no i'm saying but then does it end i'm
saying like you said you're like oh if the nicotine addiction gets me a traeger then
but then once you get the traeger i i guess I'll save up for some more kitchen appliances, maybe a
sous vide machine, another
Traeger, a sister for it.
Just start up my own
smoking smokehouse.
All that's
happened is that you've proved that
nicotine addiction can be profitable.
Like, that's...
Oh, real. Well, Philip Morris
proved that as well, but right we can call your
barbecue place janie danger's girly meat all right come and get it come get a mouthful
what uh what's something you guys think is underrated oh i have one for this just because
there was a mild uh discourse about it on Twitter recently. Love discourse.
Henry Rollins, I think, is underrated.
Okay, work.
Because he's really hot, and he's been hot.
He's one of these men that has this very rare thing for men.
Most men are either hot when they're young or they're hot when they're old.
But few men are hot their entire life and yeah henry rollins is
one of those guys and i yeah i you know people were talking when everyone was talking about
conan and how great conan is and i i agree conan is great because he's got this kind of like
like he knows like all the history he knows everything about comedy he knows like everything
perfect about it and henry ollins is like a similar guy with like a similar vibe but like
towards like punk music and shit like savant level yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and it's like
a sincerity that is sometimes like off-putting and cringy but it's it is sincere nonetheless
and i appreciate sincerity and yeah i think that's cool
let's not let's not say hot at every age too soon because i don't know if you've seen
the latest pictures of clint eastwood or gene hackman but oh god those guys
yeah not to be not to be they were never hot hot. Clint Eastwood was pretty hot.
Gene Hackman? No.
Gene Hackman was pretty hot.
Gene Hackman was not...
He was hot at the end of the birdcage.
He just changed into
a cart...
Gene Hackman now looks like
the very old man from The Giving Tree.
Oh, yes.
He's just transformed like a nose and
saggy skin like it's crazy like he just doesn't this is young gene hackman oh my god we're good
we're okay yeah i mean handsome i don't like the way he's biting that bottom lip
yeah that scares me no i think he just has he just has no bottom, so it looks like he's liking it. Okay. Also, Gene Hackman is literally like 99, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And still going to the...
And Clint Eastwood is 93.
There's a picture of Gene Hackman, 99, walking to the gas station,
picking up a cup of coffee and a pack of smokes.
I was like, God damn, man.
The genes.
Zen rewards.
It's not too late.
The jeans on that Hackman are pretty. I bet Hackman
has some Marlboro gear at home.
Oh, yeah.
He's probably got a thick Marlboro jacket.
He's got the Gore-Tex raincoat.
Oh, yes.
That'd be cool as hell.
I'll be eager to see what
Henry Rollins looks like when he's 93 to 99 years old.
I know, but Henry Rollins is like fit though.
Yeah, he is.
He's still both jacks.
I feel it.
He's daddy.
I remember that music video for Liar in like 1994.
And I was like, yo, this dude is fucking meat.
He's meat, boy.
He is meat.
He is meat.
He is meat.
Yeah.
That was what started the Twitter stuff.
Was that video, like, I don't know, someone was going around and people were like,
this is some of the worst music ever made.
And I was like, probably, but he's also made some of the best music ever too.
So it's fine.
Right, right, right.
Let's not just view his entire career from that moment, for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
And also, I mean mean i don't know
rollins band was it was something unique it was very it was like uh dennis leary rants like put
like it's kind of cool like it's there's not a lot of analogs to that nowadays so i
it's not really for me but i respect it i guess right right yeah uh let's take a quick break and we'll come back and Carmen hear what you think is underrated.
I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.
And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful,
in-depth interviews with former members and new chilling firsthand accounts, the series will
illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed

the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts,
The Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months.
These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
The story of one strange and violent summer.
police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current,
available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back. We're back. And Carmen, what is something that you think is underrated i'm gonna say this because and this will kind of add context to all the other shit i've talked about
on the overrated underrated in my past appearances on the show but free legal advice underrated
underrated i want to shout somebody out right now that you could either reach out to if you
need the free legal advice as a trans person, or if you call yourself an ally, you should be
donating to these people because they're awesome. So they're called transfamiliesos.org. And I'm on
the fourth insurance denial for a surgery that I've been actively pursuing for a year and a half
now. As you can imagine, I'm fucking exhausted. But I just had a meeting right before I hopped on this call with the trans family
SOS. Their free lawyers helped me kind of figure out how to navigate this whole insurance system
and get my shit covered by insurance. So they're underrated. Wait, after that consultation,
you have a path now? I have a path forward now, I guess. So it's given me some
hope. They basically are just going to
slap these people with a ton of
data and research
and be like, this is why this bitch
needs her surgery, so get it done.
Okay, shout out trans family
SOS. It's like trans
Phoenix Riot.
Yeah.
Phoenix Riot Ace Attorney.
It's a game where you play as a lawyer.
Oh, duh, yes.
Objection!
Yes, I got them on my side.
She needs the FFS!
I do.
That's so cool that they do that.
Not cool that you need a lawyer
to navigate our fucking
horrible healthcare system.
Do we even call it healthcare
anymore? It's just
squeezing you for every dollar no matter what
your situation is.
Death management.
What's something
Janie that you think is overrated?
Dude, I gotta
put it out there. I put
podcasting. No offense, guys.
Podcasting,
I've taken some time off
and I've realized we're just
talking with our friends.
It's awesome making money
talking with your friends, but you can just have
good little conversations with your friends
anytime
you want.
You don't need iHeartMedia paying you to do it it's nice but you know it was nice you know actually maybe let me go let me go
back actually maybe it's actually cooler than i thought. But no.
Yeah, I don't know.
I thought about that like a minute before.
I remember you guys said the over-under thing.
I was like, well, let me vent some stuff out here.
But like every other time I've came on the show and said the over-under,
I immediately start walking it back. Right.
Yeah, we're at the will of a an ad-based medium and yeah with that's
publicly traded yeah and it rules yeah and it's cool death comes for all of us eventually comes
and insert yeah it it's the best yeah i think it is number one yeah and i think for listeners too and this is bad for our
business model but like as a podcast listener i feel like some when i'm at my best mentally
socially spiritually i'm not listening to a ton of podcasts that is so true i'm talking to humans
That is so true.
I'm talking to humans.
I listen to the most podcasts when I'm like,
usually when I'm opening my restaurant,
like,
cause I've got like an hour, like where I just put in my headphones and people will be like,
good morning,
Janie.
And I'm like,
I'm listening to seeking arrangements.
Get away from me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shout out to Hessa. Yeah. But, uh, when I'm, yeah, I don't, get away from me. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Hessa.
Yeah.
But when I'm, yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
Carmen, what do you think is overrated?
Well, this isn't going to come as any surprise to y'all.
But first, I would do want to preface this by saying I am not a legal financial expert in any way, shape, or form.
But paying your medical bills is overrated
i have a surgery scheduled for april 30th and i just it's i'm having a revision on a trachea
shave that i had back in 2015 by a doctor who fucked up kenny rogers's eye lift so that's
oh shit yeah and i found that out after the surgery obviously i wouldn't put
the surgery with this guy if that's why kenny rogers looked like that well yeah rogers was
trying to get the k-pop surgery he was they they made him look like he was just like constantly
surprised so back in 2015 i had a trachea shave with this plastic surgeon and i'm having it
revised on april 30th and i'm also getting vocal feminization
surgery at the same time and the insurance is paying them forty one thousand dollars
okay jesus christ now they want me that's crazy i know i know uh it's for a trachea shave and the
vocal feminization surgery which which involves a laser so i think everything
comes from the fucking laser i swear to god but yeah uh and they want me to pay four thousand
dollars and i said baby that's too bad you're just gonna have to you're just gonna have to
cut your losses yeah our show got canceled you got 41 000 make it work baby make it last don't spend it all in one place okay yeah right
damn it's funny you mentioned that because i like i don't think it was because of medical debt but
we've been like applying to a lot of uh houses lately because we i don't want to get into it
but we need a place to live and um we actually got one we signed a lease today so anyway speed running that but uh i did
get denied for like the first few places i applied to because they said my credit was bad my credit's
really good i just have like a few delinquent like student loans and like medical loans that
are like private you know because i went to a private thing and blah blah but you had to do like care
credit probably i don't even know i well there was a little personal but i i was in a rehab like
a few years ago and while i was there like towards the end of my stay they were like hey you've been
here a week how are you paying for this i was like uh with insurance and they're like you don't have
insurance i was like well why are you keeping me here and they're like wow you can leave i guess
so i was like okay i just laughed yeah i know i wish they told they were like we've been charging
you like nine thousand dollars a day and i was like whoa what is that real it was it was something
crazy i i'm getting honest i don't i don't remember how
much it was it might have it might have been a thousand dollars a day if i'm honestly remembering
correctly i could believe nine thousand dollars a day to be honest it was in california i could
for sure it was not it was not fucking passages malibu it was like one of the worst places in
the world like it was like it was a place where you would be like watching
like the same movie that's playing on the fx channel for like the fourth time that week and
then you just hear it was kind of like the zone of interest where you're just hearing like people
get like shocked and like people getting like juiced and like stuff like hold her down like it's like the back it's like yeah it's like
he's naked again and you just have to like keep it out of your like it's just always in the
periphery and you're like oh well that sounds that sounds bad but uh the movie escape room
is on fx right now so that's cool yeah so i to be watching that. So we got that going. Yeah. Yeah.
Amazing.
All right.
Should we get into somebody who might be a little too comfy?
A little too comfy right now?
Sleepy Don.
Sleepy Don.
Sleepy Don.
SD.
So first day of his New York criminal trial, he couldn't help but doze off like a little toddler in the backseat of a station wagon.
You know, mouth going slack, head drooping onto his chest.
Blowing a big bubble with a little sleepy cap.
A little snot bubble coming out of one nostril.
It's getting bigger and smaller.
Inflates and deflates.
I feel like he's a sleepy time baron.
Do they do the snot bubble in American cartoons?
Because I know they do it in Japanese cartoons a lot. Yeah Do they do the snot bubble in American cartoons? Because I know they've done Japanese cartoons a lot.
Yeah, they do.
I think it's honestly like a British thing.
I think it's like a Dickensian kind of portrayal.
That's the best Kirby power-up.
The sleepy cat.
Yeah, the sleepy cat.
Oh, I've got a sleepy Kirby somewhere.
Oh, okay, sorry.
And then he would kind of wake up with a jolt,
which is kind of the dead giveaway. That's the part where you can't be like where you can't be like no i was just
you know listening because when i was in ninth grade i remember uh they were reading something
in class and i remember i fell asleep and i had a dream in class where i was like on a skateboard
like going down a hill yeah and i saw like a big
tree like in the dream like i like slammed into a tree and i like woke up like
and like i looked around and everyone's like scared looking at me yeah i did that but said
a word but the word was like backwards i think and it freaked everybody out like a twin peaks like yeah i was
like i used to do that when i got too high also i would start talking and realize it's
i should have never smoked that shit now i'm in the black lodge
but you ever do that shit too when you fall asleep in bed and you get the sound like you just hypnic jerks.
Hypnic jerks.
Hypnic jerk.
Shout out to the
Spirit of the Beehive album, Hypnic Jerks.
There you go.
People started calling him Sleepy Don, which
on the one hand, when he
called Joe Biden Sleepy Joe, we were like
that's stupid. And then now we're like, ah!
I mean, I still thought it was funny when he called him Sleepy Joe.
No, I like his nicknames, though.
Yeah, his nicknames are pretty good.
That's the one thing you're like, meh.
Yeah, all right.
All right.
No, Rhonda Sanctimonious was the bad one.
All the other ones were pretty good.
Just calling him Rob was the best.
Rob, mistakenly, was such a fucking...
Small hands, Mark. What was the best. Rob, mistakenly, was such a fucking... Small hands, Mark.
What was the small hands?
Little Marco.
But it wasn't spelled L-I-D-D-L-E.
Like, it was spelled Little Marco.
It's like how a non-binary teenager would talk on Twitter.
Like, it's Little Marco.
Very baby talk.
It holds, like, the tender queer speak out.
The two fingers.
And also, like, when he's calling somebody else out, it's definitely something he's struggling with himself in this case.
And, like, it's just, he's so scared of sleep.
Like, he's been, first of all, we know he's been like abusing Adderall for like 45 years.
We're so alike.
It's insane.
His campaign like came out and was like, that is 100% fake news that he was sleeping.
Like just like truly a kid at a sleepover party.
Who's like, no, you're asleep.
I was the last one awake and i saw
of you and so you willingly pressed on you you willingly pissed your sleeping bag while you were
alert that was the joke okay the prosecution like puts his hand in like a cup of warm water
he wakes up he's got like sharpie like dicks like full beard painted on with sharpie yeah yeah
so people are also pointing out like he's falling asleep publicly during the queen's speech at
buckingham palace which that is what that is for also during a morning prayer service at the
national cathedral in 2017 yeah that's your simple issue.
Fall asleep.
Court and listening to British people talk is the two boringest things of all time.
Like, I can't fault him for this.
Like, I get it.
Have you ever, like, listened to or, like, seen a speech by the Queen?
She is intentionally saying absolutely nothing in a very pleasant i did
and they had to call an ambulance because they were i was showing od symptoms they like narcan
yeah i'm like no sorry sorry i was watching the queen sorry i was watching the queen i'm not
kidding i literally have the words like england and britain and uk like muted on like my twitter
feed because i don't want to hear anything about it.
I don't want to hear about the Queen.
Everyone's talking about, oh, what happened to Kate
Middleton? I'm like, I don't know who that is.
I don't want to know who that is.
I'm walking away from this.
Need to prioritize my attention.
Also, apparently the Covfefe
tweet happened
because he just fell asleep in the middle
of writing something. i do that all the
time yeah okay totally like just he he's terrified of sleep like fighting it with all of his being
denying when he falls asleep it's also funny because their stance heading into this trial
was yeah we're actually glad this trial's happening.
It's great publicity for us.
We want all the coverage of this trial.
This is actually going to be great publicity.
We actually thank you
for training the media spotlight on us, good sir,
because we are going to rip this whole court
a new asshole, whole court's out of order.
I hope you motherfuckers are ready.
And then he promptly, like, falls asleep.
Right.
The second.
Both, like, right away.
Yeah.
Oh.
This is from a report today.
CNN contributor Norm Eason tweeted on Tuesday,
Trump is asleep again at 11 a.m.
Then his account was corroborated during an on-air hit at 10 a.m.
Then his account was corroborated during an on-air hit at 10 a.m.
MSNBC and another reporter confirmed observing Trump having his eyes closed and leaning to the left.
Trump's head slowly dropped, his eyes closed.
It jerked back upward.
He adjusts himself.
Then his head droops again.
He straightens up, leaning back.
His head droops for a third time.
He shakes his shoulders, eyes closed still. His head drops.
Finally, a feather
comes down over his
mouth and he keeps blowing it up
and down with
each honk shoo that he lets
out.
He's like,
yeah! Wait till you see me in court.
I'm gonna... Unfortunately, but yeah he's like yeah wait till you see me in court oh my god
unfortunately
I'm not convinced
that unfortunately
I have not been convinced that bad press
works against
Donald Trump
it literally doesn't
I literally think any press is good press for him
no matter what
do you think this one
like the stuff that seems to work is like him being a misogynist and him like looking like he's having fun.
It works to like normal people.
Saying offensive shit.
Like that stuff works for sure.
Does falling asleep in court, like it feels like at that point you're just kind of seeing an old guy, right?
Court is boring.
Everyone knows.
Even if you just had to pay a traffic ticket, it's boring as fuck.
It sucks.
So you think people are just like, yeah, same, and that's it?
Dude, I mean, I am, for one.
I don't really see anything crazy about falling asleep in court.
Believe me, I've spent my fair share of time in front of a judge
um yeah i don't know i mean it is like it yeah he doesn't really have like i would say the thing
that would there is no silver bullet for him i don't really yeah i don't really think anything
makes a difference in like his perception like his fans are like incredibly ride or die.
Yeah.
Like whatever he does is cool.
Even bankrupting his fans is cool.
They're like,
I'm so happy.
I gave my life savings over to you.
Thank you.
It is crazier than any like pop or like rap artists,
like Stan culture in the entire world.
Like Kanye stands,
Drake stands,
like Taylor Swift.
He's like,
it's nothing holds a candle
to trump like yeah because even those fans be like i don't know about that though like with the
artist you know what i mean it's not like no yeah there are some that are all in all the time but
then you at least see that whereas like with maga it's like not like maybe they can explain away
kanye's maybe the only one that has fans that are close to Trump because the Kanye fans are like, oh, well, I mean, he's just he just likes Hitler, dude.
What's wrong with that?
If you're still Team Ye at this point.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
We would have to see like Taylor Swift.
It'd be interesting to see if she ever like decided to test test that fan base.
But she's just too kind of the only thing i've seen taylor swift
get kind of criticism for recently is about the uh just taking private planes everywhere but to
that i would like to say which obviously i i agree like taking private jets everywhere is horrible
for the environment i'm not going to dispute that But could we realistically imagine a world where Taylor Swift boards a fucking commercial airline?
I don't know.
I don't think it's good, but I don't think that like a fucking like all this climate change is happening because of Taylor Swift.
It's happening.
Right.
Fucking Exxon Mobil.
Like, let's be real here.
That's a story that Exxon Mobil wants us to talk about.
Yeah.
Like these are. Yeah. These are like it's like it's not good
and i do think it is like a gross display of like capitalism but like it's not like solely like
taylor swift or like any other like single like billionaire's fault like it's not good i'm not
like endorsing it but collective collective billionaire jet traffic is a huge
contributor though too i would be fine with like one person is deputized to use a private plane
a day and it's taylor swift yeah because like but like they're saying that shit while the people who
own their media empires have taken like three pjs that day yeah to like play around a golf in like four different
states yeah yeah and to have a meeting that could have been an email you know yes yeah exactly it's
like warner brothers or like whoever is like owning like the rights to like taylor swift's music is
like yeah we're just drilling a hole into the center of the earth for fun like right yeah
her and her pjs you know yeah she has to take that shit to like get to to like go fucking entertain the entire nation of brazil like yeah you know
what i mean like that right good for the collective like serotonin levels of the of the species yeah
i'll allow it yeah she's making people happy and beyonce and happy. I mean, any of those people would be ripped
apart if they tried to hop on like a Delta.
You know, it would be...
Or they do that thing, you know,
when you're really popping and they drive
you to the fucking gate on the
car and then you go up the stairs on the jetway
so then nobody sees you get on.
That's when you're really popping.
You just have to wear a hazmat suit.
I want to get to that level.
Like Naomi Campbell. That's how she did it pre-COvid and she said i was right y'all wear your hazmat suit yeah looking like literally wears a hazmat suit on a plane it is so
i love her for it we have the same birthday oh really okay all right morrissey too but
fucking just walking around like season four, Walt and Jesse everywhere.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You look like Cuba Gooding in Outbreak.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I was about to do that, but I'm not the host.
You're like, all right, let's go to a break.

I can move on.
Yeah.
All right.
We're going to go to a break.
I'll be right back.
Okay.

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

And we're back.
We're back.
We're back.
Holy shit, we're back.
Holy shit.
Where were we?
Seriously. I slept through that whole
break sorry miles just miles is micro napping for like three seconds in between every time i start
talking his head just goes down and uh yeah and how was that trump story for you by the way was
that difficult about trump yeah yeah we did talk about Trump. Yeah, yeah, fuck that dude.
So you disagree with the story about Trump
feeding millions
of homeless people and building
wells in Africa?
I'm for that.
I mean, yes.
Guy looks like a Cheeto.
Cheeto.
The orange one.
All right.
Let's talk about somebody who kind of shares complexion with Donald Trump,
and that is Dog the Bounty Hunter.
And hairstyles.
They're both hair icons.
Yeah, they're hair icons for sure.
Wig?
Is that a wig?
I don't know.
It could be. They both have hair that looks like it was designed to like launch a thousand Halloween wigs.
Yeah, 100%.
Yes.
But yeah, very unserious person.
Jesse Waters had Dwayne Dog Chapman on.
So the racist with skin as soft as welder's gloves could promote his new book.
the racist with skin as soft as welder's gloves uh could promote his new book and despite this being like a promo stop waters fucking decided he's like you know what man i know you got a book
let's let's just get into man what about these motherfucking immigrants and that led to an
interesting exchange of ideas between the two and by that i mean i i don't know here's dog the bounty
hunter talking about immigration oh lord oh hell yeah hell yeah. Bracing. Go get, get it together. Here we go.
When you approach these people, whether they're migrants or outlaws. Yes, sir. This is what we're
going to, when you approach these people, whether they're migrants, I'm just already,
we're starting off on the wrong. Same thing. Same death. Yeah. We're going to be looking at,
do you have any advice for
donald trump if he assumes office again is he going to make you deportation czar i would like
a job like that and it doesn't matter who you are what what nationality what tribe you belong to
if you're a lawbreaker and you're in this country illegal and you were booted from another country because you were a felon and told to go to America, that's where we're going to start.
Is the high priority the top of the echelon?
And they are going back and or they're going to jail.
When I first started bounty hunting 45 years ago, there were two bounty hunters.
Today, there's 6,500.
There's new laws.
You can't be convicted of a felony in the last 10 years.
We use non-lethal weapons that'll drop a mule.
So get ready.
What kind of non-lethal weapons would you use?
Well, the newest one they've got is the new pepper ball gun,
and it's designed to spin the body.
The new pepper ball gun?
It does not enter unless you... I had to take a 40-hour course.
You cannot shoot above the neck or it would kill them.
So, pop, pop, and they're down.
That's it.
Oh, my God.
And what you want to do is put the person down to cuff them and then go from there.
Right.
So, I, for one, don't think it's good to have a nation full of, like, little Kyle Ritten houses.
No.
Running around, like, just fucking shooting, like... to have a nation full of little Kyle Ritten houses running around just
fucking shooting
beanbags at Mexican families
and stuff. That will take their head
off if you hit them above the shoulders.
If you don't have a 40-hour training course.
I also, I just gotta say real quick,
I have not thought about Dog the
Bounty Hunter for a solid decade.
Since the South Park episode.
Yeah.
Or since he got canceled, screaming about his son's black girlfriend.
He was like, oh, you really like using the N-word, don't you?
Dude, I don't even remember that.
That's how his show got canceled.
Because this voicemail leaked.
And they're like, oh, boy.
It's like, come on.
Y'all didn't see this man's face?
And they're like, oh, no, he don't use the N-word.
No, not him.
Same for like Paula Deen.
Yeah, she probably is racist.
There's a few phrases that they had to be like, you know what?
You actually can't say that, Paul.
It's not.
I know it may be a colloquialism to you, but we don't we can't do that.
But I like I was like, you can't be a bounty hunter if you've committed a felony in the last 10 years.
But I like how he's like, you can't be a bounty hunter if you've committed a felony in the last 10 years.
Because this dude, he was convicted of third degree murder in 1976.
He was?
Yeah, he was the getaway.
He was probably bounty hunting too hard, Miles. No, he was the getaway driver during what he called a drug deal gone bad.
But it sounds like a robbery gone bad.
You know, I'm not going to like fact check his check his, like, statements about, like, there are 6,500 bounty hunters.
But I'll be honest, I kind of believe it.
Like, I kind of believe that, like.
Because of him.
The, like, right wing in this country has become, like, so, like, I don't know.
Like, I just have to mention Kyle Rittenhouse again like it's all like people with like mentalities like that where
they've been like so like programmed to like hate like so many other people and not really have even
like sort of like a materialistic reason why to right but then you're doing it you're doing it
in service of like this oppressive system of bonding out of prison or out of jail and shit
like that like you're reinforcing that debt to be of prison or out of jail and shit like that like
you're reinforcing that debt to be like guess what one of these people will find you with a gun
that's non-lethal unless they shoot you in the neck and above and then they will kill you
also is that not lethal i do think it's funny like i don't know like imagine like one of these freaks
like because he says like yeah if you're like a murderer who's killed like 47 times and you got kicked out of your country for killing so much.
And I told you to come. Are you talking like, look, like if we're talking about like, like fucking cartel hitman.
Yeah, I probably don't want them walking the streets either.
But like, what the fuck are you? What is some fucking like tumbleweed from like nebraska who like it's
like i'm gonna become a bounty hunter he's gonna go up to like a cartel guy and they will torture
him in a storage unit for years like he will never see him again bad v dog the bounty hunter
he will instantly wake up in the hostel room.
It's over.
The other thing I always think about with him is he always claims to be Native American.
He wears feathers in his hair and shit like that.
He said he could use the N-word because I'm an Apache was what he said.
And you're like, oh, that's a bit of a jump.
But many, especially in the Native American community, are pretty dubious about that fact because he's so consistent about what tribe he says he belongs to and most people can't
find anything that suggests that his mother who he claims is native american isn't just a normal
like every regular degular white person and some people who have supposedly looked into it's not
really it's it's hard to say like this is are the facts and truth. But they say maybe it happened because in her past, she said she had spent time on a reservation and then just started being like.
Yeah, I'm Native American.
What are you?
I'm Native American.
Yeah.
I haven't heard one of those like, yeah, I'm 10% Cherokee, like kind of white people in a while.
I thought that was dying out.
Elizabeth Warren made that tough for sure.
I was going to say Cher, but
you know. Right. But then he said
recently he said,
quote, I've always had a pretty distinguishable
look. Hell, it makes me easy to
identify in a lineup.
And you're like, because you're what?
Because you claim to be a third or a half
or whatever kind of
background you're trying to anyway so that man
uh yeah he's hawking some kind of book and i think he's on to his seventh wife now and he just i think
in the last two years he found out he had a 13th child that he didn't know about oh my god who was
like a full-grown adult by the time they met so yeah he's he's doing all right he's doing all
and his oldest son i think is in a jail for a hate crime so the family is doing quite killing yeah yeah literally in some cases he really does look
like he's wearing a doug bounty hunter like halloween costume that's like out of the box
like it does like not a very good one you know yeah yeah yeah it's a hard it's a hard look to
rock like a leather shirt and wearing wraparound sunglasses
all the time.
I'll say he's done a good job of matching his extensions
to his natural hair color because usually
you're talking about reality.
He's got some brassy bone.
He's got that kind of saggy
Botox look.
Saggy Botox.
This was once all tight and immovable all right and finally
germany has passed a landmark trans rights law after legalizing weed earlier in the month uh
we got another w for germany wow i can't remember when i mean they're nailing it
100 a plus germany no uh but they did become the latest country to
pass legislation making it easier for transgender intersex and non-binary people to change their
name and gender in official records it's the so-called self-determination law and they'd
been promising it since 2021 yeah because the process before this is like you needed like a pathology, like you need to go through a pathologizing process for like an expert to figure out if it was like they're like, well, according to me, after I've asked them all kinds of weird questions, some completely irrelevant about asking about their childhoods or this or that.
Like they are approved to change their name or gender on like official
government documents.
So they've,
they've,
they've taken,
they've done away with that,
which,
you know,
apparently has been going on for many,
many years,
four decades old.
Yeah.
Four decades old was the law before this.
Yeah.
I mean,
that's still the way it is here in Georgia,
you know,
and,
uh,
in a lot of places.
So I'm happy to see it changing
across the world but it sounds i mean it okay obviously this is something that was promised
in 2021 but is this do we think that this is like a pr spin for germany and maybe again
to kind of uh distract from their i'm not willing to hand it to Germany for a while. Yeah, for a while.
Like I said, because it's...
I mean, the only news that I've seen out of Germany lately
is them just basically doing this weird
neo-form of Nazification,
but in the name of Israel.
And Germany is a very weird, fucked-up country
that I do not fully like
understand all of the uh i don't know i'm not like a history major or anything like that but like
it it is very strange you can see it in a lot of their like cultural like stuff like there's a lot
of like guilt and there's a lot of like i can definitely see them like just look, I mean, there's a very you see this in America, too, where like nothing like take like the Black Lives Matter like movement, like, you know, like that was like a huge, huge thing.
And what really happened, you know, Cleveland is voiced by a black person now, like, you know, like, like the only things that get changed are like minor social things that you
can move the needle on we can't go after systemic things come on yeah yeah so like that's why like
i mean it's true because there's also there was that thing too where for a while they were like
in germany racism doesn't exist they're like oh yeah can we see the data on that they're like oh
we don't have data on that yeah okay so that I don't know if you can quite claim that W.
But yeah, at the same time, right, there was a pro palace, there's a meeting of like the
Palestinian Congress, and all these people were coming in activists. And they were they were
stopping people from entering the country. And then when the event happened, like the police
came in and broke it up. So yeah,, it's definitely like there's so many things.
It's like the U.S. too, where you can point to these sort of narrow kind of victories.
But even with the Supreme Court yesterday, they also kept on the, like basically said,
yeah, Idaho is free to, quote, protect the children or whatever by banning gender affirming care for youth.
So it's, you know know it's always like everything
is kind of where we put the focus but yeah to your point janie it's like what the systemic stuff
yeah yeah they do the one for you one for us and the one for us is always like you know yeah not
not that significant and doesn't actually like just a. Just like, oh, well,
we have a rainbow flag in the
Capitol
building now or something.
But we're legally codifying
discrimination.
You can change
your name for when
we sign you up for the
Hunger Games in America
where you're forced into the most dangerous uh, like hunger games in America where you're,
where you're forced into the most dangerous game battle Royale conscription.
Right.
Right.
For being trans,
you can pick your own,
uh,
pronouns for that.
Part of a deal with NBC.
Yeah.
This won't even be on TV.
It'll be on Peacock though.
It's the new,
uh,
Mr.
Beast video.
We hunted 100 trans people to death.
The amount of times that Twitter is just shoving that shit down my throat.
Mr. Beast bullshit?
Mr. Beast bullshit.
What the fuck is going on with this?
It's like, I created a thousand wells in Africa.
Yeah, I see that one all the time.
The one before that was like,
I locked a thousand people into a grocery store
to see how long they could survive.
And then the next one,
like maybe did he like get bad PR for that previous one?
So he's like, I made a thousand wells in Africa.
Well, he does.
It's sort of what you just said,
the one for you, one for me.
Yeah, exactly.
He does like little games and then he does ones It's sort of what you just said, the one for you, one for me. Yeah, exactly. He does, like, little games, and then he does ones that are just, like, charitable.
Right.
He's like, I bought everybody in Walmart everything they wanted.
All right.
Hot take here that you might not expect coming from me, but I don't, I kind of like Mr. B.
I think he may, I think if you're going to be, like, if you're going to be a rich person with the GDP of a small country in Central America,
I think the least evil thing you can do is just make silly little games on YouTube and stuff.
I don't know.
At least you're building wells.
Yeah.
The videos of the one of the...
I made a hundred different countries compete.
Stuff like that.
It's fun.
It's just fun little videos.
I don't know.
I feel like that's...
As far as uber, uber, uber wealthy people go,
I think if you're just making little games
and videos and stuff,
eh, you know, it's kind of fun.
And kids watch that.
And they want to be Mr. Beast.
They want to be somebody who gives out free LASIK
free cochlear implants
it's kind of cute
they want to have
their trans friend
that they can
bury people alive with
that's what we all want
I liked the one where he
handcuffed that guy to a pipe
and was like if
you want to leave you have to saw your own arm off yeah yeah i like that one too yeah it's just
kind of but like you know there's a cynicism to it too because it's like this sort of like
philanthropy via clicks sort of thing you know where it's like is it coming from a good place
too but then i guess at the end of the day if you're zooming out i wells no one's i i've i've like was just doing a search i'm like did he actually build the wells
and i don't see anything saying that like that did not happen yeah so you know it's no i i totally
agree i think there was a big thing about the one with the where he got like blind kids like
bought them all like surgery to like oh like yeah not restoring surgery something with
yeah yeah look i i don't i don't know i might be wrong on this but i don't think the problem is
like him doing that i think that's fine like i agree about the senate the cynical nature of it
but i think that the main kind of like takeaway is like there's a surgery that makes kids not
blind and you don't just give it to kids like
right it takes this fucking asshole with a youtube channel to do it that's fucking crazy like yeah
i think i do cringe though when i see those people go up to like street vendors and like they're just
like hey i want to give you this money and then i look at camera and they're like hey look at what
your boy did you know what i mean and so it yeah because the video's over all right give it back man give it
back yeah no right because i mean like at the at the end of the day you know it's just like when
you hear those quote-unquote feel-good stories about like how like a teacher was on a southwest
flight and the person they were sitting next to overheard that they were struggling to get
materials for their class so they anonymously donated whatever and you're like oh my gosh it's like a feel-good
band-aid for systemic problems yeah the story is actually about how little we're funding our
public education or the story is about how little access to clean water people have and it's like
everyone's like but mr beast though yeah so but i get it too like you know i've seen some of the
stunts that he's pulling i'm like oh shit man you can't do that with a regular youtube channel like you need you need
real money but i think that's what what's interesting too all those videos i've read
though too like are sort of built on the backs of all these brand deals that he does prior to it
yeah it's not a lot of times it might not be coming out of his pocket but anyway this is these
are the complexities of our modern media mr Mr. Beast buried 100 people alive.
Brought to you by Lowe's.
Brought to you by a caterpillar.
Somebody needed to fill the space that Oprah left behind.
Right.
Yeah.
You get a car.
You get a car.
Remember that, though?

everyone look under your seat and everyone like looks on there like,

And it's like,
welcome to the world of bloodborne illnesses.
Or the ball pit.
My grandma wouldn't let me go in the ball pit because the ball pit had used needles in it.
Yeah, that's so funny.
There's a 30-year-old heroin addict in the ball pit.
And everyone's like, yeah, that's normal.
Look under your chair.

I'm excited about this person.
Janie, how about you? Is there a
work of media you've been enjoying? I watched the movie The Marriage of Maria Braun the other night.
It's a good movie from the, it's a German film from the late 70s that, yeah, I said some,
I said some bad stuff about Germany, but they made some good movies. And I don't know, you know,
there's something I'm not enjoying there's
this video of a pink song that went around and i said i ratioed it like pretty badly where i said
pink makes music for white gays that are in a tax bracket where they can legally own slaves
i just i just want to say like i've mentioned this a few times because i've gotten
into a lot of kerfuffles on twitter um and i've gotten to a lot of kerfuffles with people that
like i didn't expect had like like rabid shooters uh like writing for them and i gotta say pink has no shooters there's like no one fucking cares like it is like the
first time i've ever like made fun of someone as like i'm not kidding maybe like five people
gotten out of wow one of them is a gay man that is literally one of the most racist people I've ever seen in my life who did he made like a he did he
screen recorded my music video and put the wrong curb your enthusiasm music over it
and and started making your enthusiasm he started making fun of my friend austin because he thought that austin was
me and austin was just the person that i got to play a person in the video and yeah i don't know
i've been enjoying i've been enjoying torturing this one specific racist gay man for being stupid
and um you know honestly shout out to pink for only making music that is played
in target and nowhere else and you know i just gotta respect that there's at least one artist
out there you can always make fun of so yeah yeah yeah usually like yeah when when when something
goes up like that you're like it's i I may potentially knock the hornet's nest.
And you're like, oh, no, no.
Like the time you can't really.
No, it's crazy.
Yeah.
I said something about Green Day a while ago that got me so much hate.
Instantly.
People were on me.
I was like, I did not know Green Day had fucking shooters like this.
This is crazy.
There's been other examples, too.
But yeah, just this whole Pink thing recently, I was like, huh, that turned out a lot better than I expected.
Thank you, Pink.
Thanks for having a completely non-existent fan base and still being one of the most popular artists of all time somehow.
That's got to respect that a little bit.
But her aerial acrobatics are second to none.
Shot out of a cannon.
She can fly?
Yeah, she'd be flying back and forth.
They'd be slingshotting her.
She'd be like, what's that song she sings?
It's crazy.
No one knows.
We'll get copyrighted.
And not the Queens of the Stone Age song. No one knows. We'll get copyrighted. And not the Queens of the Stone Age
song. No one knows.
My first CD though was Pink
Misunderstood.
Now that album was written entirely
and produced entirely by the woman from
Four Non Blondes. Linda Perry.
Linda Perry.
Linda Perry is basically responsible for
Pink. I'm sorry.
And a lot of people's hits.
Like the Christina Aguilera album, that was huge.
She wrote Beautiful and all those songs.
Yeah.
A lot of hits Linda Perry's got.
True.
Makes you want to say, what's going on?
You know?
Jesus.
Hey, what's going on?

Sorry.
Anyway, close out the show.
I'm sorry.
What's the Dolly Parton video? It's Linda Perry close out the show. I'm sorry. What's the Dolly Parton video?

And it's the weirdest fucking music video I've ever seen.
It's from her Rockstar album.
The one that she came out with recently.
American.
What is it?
American something?
Dolly Parton for non-blond.

No but
It's Linda Perry in a bathtub
In a school
They're in a public school
And they fucking pulled in a
But if I do that I'm weird
They pulled in a clawfoot bathtub
For Linda Perry to be fully clothed in
Playing her guitar While Dolly Parton is singing to like an auditorium of
young children.
And I'm just like,
it's,
I just,
I'm looking at this shot of like Linda Perry in a tub and Dolly Parton there.
You're saying the reverse angle of that is an auditorium full of young people.
Yes.
I've like,
I've like,
just like,
like,
maybe it was sex up.
It was literally like elementary school kids
