That was probably the first time I even knew of this person. over the years? I damn sure remember that. That was probably the first time I even knew of this person. Or maybe you know him as someone who gave cocaine to rats when he was pursuing a doctorate in neuroscience or just as a comedian. You know, that's the other big thing about him, too. He's a very hilarious man. Please welcome today's guest, Jono Zillay. Oh, hey, thanks. Good to be here. I

And so I'm always shocked to like, well, you know, what do you mean? The way you even did a like a you embodied that you look like you were hunched over like Smeagol with the ring of power.

What do you mean? You're just going to say Smeagol. It's so crazy. We are cold. We are fucking cold thing right now. Wow. I love it. Posting and co-hosting right now wow i love it posting and co-hosting um no i just get really into my audiobooks you know sometimes i pop an edible and i'm just really

in there internal reading the bible i gotta get it take it any way you can preaching preaching those verses and what jono you're just jogging because you stay in shape you're in fitness you're getting ready for a Tough Mudder or something. No, actually, all my joints are breaking down. I have every brace for every joint you could imagine. I'm mostly walking my dog because he needs to go outside and get those exercise steps in. What kind of dog do you have? It's a Jack Russell Beagle mix.

It's a Jacoby. His name is Larry. Oh, yeah. He's an old man. He's an old curmudgeon, but he's a Jack Russell Beagle mix. It's a Jacoby. His name is Larry. Oh, yeah. He's an old man. He's an old curmudgeon, but he's a sweetheart. Okay. I think Danny and I actually saw your Jacoby with your GF yesterday. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. She mentioned. Yeah. It was cool. Okay. Wait, I like how she said she mentioned, but really you're like, hey, hey, hey. It was just a very huge event. Not very casual in passing.

Okay, well, good to know. Good to know that we're all friends here, as we normally are. How long are you going to be in Hawaii for? Just a couple more days. Then I'm back. You're in Hawaii right now, Miles? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm out here for a little bit just to cool my jets.

But really, still working. You know what I mean? I know. I'm trying that remote work. Three hours earlier over there. The next is nose to the grind. Yeah. I mean, it's wild.

Yeah, you wake up like way early. I mean, I wake up pretty early anyway, but it's interesting to get like when you're on this clock because like the East Coast is like six hours ahead. Whoa, this is a bit of a mis is like six hours ahead whoa this is a bit of a misalignment but hey it is what it is but before we get into it and before we get to know you jono we'll just give people a preview of what we're talking about today first up new york is going to be mandating vaccines this is the first in the nation to say just across the board new york city they're saying hey you want to you want to come to new york city and you want to fuck

around and do some New York City shit? You need to be vaccinated. So we'll talk about that and the mayor's sort of thinking around that. We'll talk about Rudy Giuliani speaking in New York. He was supposed to do an interview about 9-11 and then he suddenly turned it into like all about him and his legal fees.

But that's what Rudy Giuliani will do. But before all that, Jono, we got to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that reveals who you are, what you're into, or maybe some freaky thoughts you were having? Well, my recent search history that I looked at last night is Wallace Shawn, Princess Bride. For those unfamiliar, he's the bald-headed guy who plays Bissini. He's the guy who keeps saying, inconceivable!

Yeah, and doing the poison drink off with an eagle. Iocane powder. And the reason I've searched him is because my brother just had two identical twin boys a few weeks ago. Congratulations! Thank you. And i feel like every baby looks

like wallace sean from the princess bride every every baby looks like it's about to get into a duel of the wits with the the man in black yeah he has a very like cherubic sort of face and it's funny when you google wallace sean baby there are so many like people are already doing it because i feel like it's like a trope that people like he just has the round beautiful face of a newborn child yeah and he's he's the one he's like one of those doctors that like used his own sperm to impregnate every woman in the ivf. Every baby looks like him. All of them are Dr. Sean's children. Yeah.

Yeah. This is, yeah. So did you send this to your brother and say, Oh yeah. I like anytime, anytime anyone asks me for a picture of the twins, I just send them two pictures of what was done.

And what's a, how does, how does, how do the parents feel? The mother and father feel about the, my brother loves it. He agrees. Did you buy them two

matching little tweed suits to go? Shit. Oh, yeah. They could cosplay, too. One can go as Vecini, one can go as the teacher from Clueless. Yeah, Mr. Hall. Oh, my God.

Epic love story. Epic love story. Oh, my my god did you see the way her their legs are crossed towards each other that's an unequivocal sex invite i remember i remember there are so many things from clueless i was like okay so that's the law based on what share just was share for what's just said okay miss geist okay good to know that i remember one time i tried to say in class my i left my Cranberry CD in the quad. And I thought people would immediately understand what I was saying, that reference from Clueless. No one did. And then the teacher was like, what are you talking about? And I had to just bail on it. I was like, nothing, never mind. I go to the bathroom. I go to the bathroom. I'm like, no one here likes Clueless? What is something you think is overrated? One thing I just learned recently is overrated is the Olympics. The Olympics, not just because COVID has made everyone just abandon this year's Olympics,

but it's one of those things that you just come to find out that your whole life has been horrible and you're just now learning about it. Just like the way that every olympics has devastated whatever city it's it's gone through yeah and left all these poor people and in real despair and horrible it should be the triumph of a human spirit and it's the exact opposite which feels very typical yeah i think especially especially in like you know as people become more aware and more sensitive to these kinds of things like you're starting to be like yeah man this is a fucking nightmare like there's there was one guy i've brought it up before but there's like this one japanese guy who was displaced twice because of the olympics happening in tokyo

um for like once in the 60s and again for the 2020 games and he's like i don't the fuck did i do to deserve this um and yeah like it's i again i love the competition aspect of it i think that is what's and i think that's what's fucked up is that the greed that surrounds the games completely obscures that and like makes it very bittersweet because part of me like i think all of us have you know on one level thought we could be an athlete one day and you're just like that's so cool like i just think that's awesome that people can win gold medals but the the human suffering aspect that's why i just say keep it in one place have it in one place yeah over and over what's your favorite event i like my dad's a big track and field guy so i guess i

like those like the decathlons and stuff or the sprints the sprints are probably because those are over in 10 seconds like literally 10 seconds and you have to devote a whole day yeah and they remind you of being a kid where it's just like all right fastest to the end of the block is the champion you fuck wit let's go um and i just shout out to out to the Italians who won their first 100-meter gold. Thank you, thank you. I used to burn that asphalt. Hey, that's right. Paisan, I forgot.

Absolutely. And also in the high jump, let's not forget, in the high jump as well, I don't know if you saw that, the two high jumpers, they both topped out, I think, like 2 meters 37,

and they could have done a jump off, but they were both like, can we just split? Can we just get two gold medals? just get two gold medals and like the dude was sort of like i guess if you want to but i mean like do you want to they're like yeah man it's been a rough year like if we both got gold who gives a shit and they were just hugging each other and like the italian dude was loving it but again like those are the things i can't help but watch and then be like it starts making me feel fucked up because i'm like why does it have to be there and then like nobody's there to enjoy it i know it should be good like it doesn't have to be this bad and it's like it should be just a cool experience for

all the athletes and everyone watching but it's uh did you guys cover that story about how i think it was long distance running and one guy from one country recognized that the guy who had been in front of him the entire time didn't understand the language on the signs and was gonna go the wrong way and he would have won and he he told the guy the other way and from behind him why he did it and he said because it wouldn't have been a fair win the guy was ahead the entire time and those are the beautiful moments in sports

where you see the soul of people and I was just like that's so fucking beautiful see if it was in that one city every single year we could enjoy that wonderful experience and not have to see some guy make a wrong turn into like some camp that they're like putting all the homeless people in to hide from the games and stuff. It's like just one wrong turn.

Yeah, we're we can absolutely overcome the evil elements of it. Just have to reform the Olympic Committee. That's like kicking people out for weed. Right. Still displacing poor people around the world. of it just have to reform the olympic committee that's like kicking people out for weed right still displacing uh poor people around the world or just being like hey let's let's collaborate with the world health organization to be like yeah don't worry about covid just like they do in brazil four years in 2016 but hey that's what it is yeah i really love sprinting i used to do high jump in high school it was terrible but i love the event and

yeah there is something about just watching again people fucking work their whole lives for something even if it's as simple as just running 100 meters but like watch that payoff you can bottle that up what's something you think is underrated jono underrated is uh your parents cable login i think everyone is under appreciating all the the good content your parents are giving you just by the fact that they haven't unsubscribed and cut the cable from their cable provider yeah we watch like 90 of the uh sporting events even on tv it's just like oh i don't even have the cbs app well let's just log in with our parents stuff it's like i like i guarantee i know it it's the same email address and it's the same password for everything yeah it's i'm really truly shout out to parents like that's like is that the final sort of

umbilical cord that would be cut for someone to be fully independent is like i think because you ever check somebody you're like oh you're really independent let me see your netflix logins is your email or is your parents i hate those people i'm like it's not your fucking business uh account i'm using bitch why don't you go look in the mirror with you and your passwords and emails yeah what do you what do you uh chill for netflix you want the corporate profits to go up come Yeah, you Hulu, Disney Plus ass bitch. Wow, you really like stealing, huh, from Mr. Flix and Mr. Hulu? Wow, okay.

How am I supposed to get my Pixar fix without my mom's Disney Plus account? It doesn't feel right as an adult to pay for Disney stuff. I feel like parents should always be paying for Disney stuff. I'm mature. I'm mature. I can't be doing that oh you know what's funny is i recently let my dad use one of my logins and it felt like i i was

almost like you're welcome son you're welcome like it really felt i was like in my mind i was like we've here we're here we're here it's fully inverted the relationship has inverted hey he passed the torch and he didn't really have any loggings that i could use you know i mean he paid my phone bill back in like college so i'll remember that so my dad my dad uses his ipad as a camera so uh does he wait like he'll bring it everywhere like it's his camera yeah oh my it is absolutely his camera it's his camera it's like here's how much my dad uses his ipad as a camera he he used an ipad filled up the entire memory with photos and then instead of you know putting them anywhere he just got another ipad like he just he bought another ipad so he could start

taking photos as if we're like a disposable camera like it of film. This one flat one's a roll of film that I have to develop, but that's just going to be a photo hard drive from now on. Shout out to all the iPad photographers. Let's take a quick break and pay some bills, and we'll be right back after this.

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. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you.

One session. 24 hours.

BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? 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. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football,

the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked voila you got straight away i felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back vaccines they're necessary it turns out um to stem the spread of a pandemic and hopefully you know eradicate a pandemic altogether uh new york city if you remember was probably one of the worst hot spots at the beginning of the lockdown it almost like if you

watch the news you almost thought covid only existed in new york um just based on the amount of media attention and again because it's like an iconic city that just ground to a halt and we were seeing you know just really it was like a warning sign to people like if it gets out of control this is what happens hospitals begin to overflow something we didn't even have room in our in the morgues to properly take care of the people that had passed away. And so because of that, I think Mayor de Blasio may have had that in the back of his mind, like many public health experts, when realizing we need to make sure that we don't experience another just catastrophic surge of this virus again. And I think the only way to do that

is to really mandate vaccines. So de Blasio said, this is just sort of how he presented it at a press conference. The key to New York City, when you hear those words, I want you to imagine the notion that because someone is vaccinated,

they can do all the amazing things that are available in New York City. This is a miraculous place, literally full of wonders. And if you're vaccinated, all that's going to open up to you. You'll have the key. You can open the door.

But if you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things. It's time for people to see vaccination as literally necessary to living a good and full and healthy life. And I was like, that sounds, it's in a way I was like, wow, radical but then i'm like wait that's because the bar is so all over the place that i'm like what is yeah that actually that's sensible that's right we need people to understand that that is that is

that's how we're gonna regain some stability is by treating vaccines as the norm right yeah and then there were a few other news stories about cuomo today but uh that was de blasio oh yeah oh yeah yeah okay i mean yeah well you'll have heard about that in the trends episode that played yesterday but yeah i mean his like defense of like but i kiss everybody in the mouth it's like whoa that's fucking okay are you offended that as an Italian, he was using your culture as a shield? Yeah, I am. I am, but you know, what are you going to do? Some of these people take things too far, I guess.

Even though they are Italian, I guess. Do you touch faces? It's been so long since I've seen you in person. Yeah, I don't really touch people. i'm surprisingly introverted you wouldn't guess it oh yeah that's true actually whenever you pull up you you always pull up like mysterious in person you're always like hey what's up like yeah you could like you

take a second to warm up and then you warm up and i'm like there's blair there's blair whenever i see her in the neighborhood she's trying to duck into a bush yeah she's got a she only got a beanie on and glasses looking like the Unabomber on mushrooms. Wait, I am really sorry that I ruined the vaccine thing by mistaking de Blasio for Cuomo. I do think that is a radical statement. And I know that's going to piss all these people off. But I do think, like, we need to get more aggressive with it for, like, the safety of our evolution and going forward so we don't just have many years lost

and many more, like, millions of people dead. Are you talking about from touching faces? From the vaccine, DJ Miles. One in the same, Miles. One in the same. That's how you spread COVID. I was embarrassed that I brought it back i was like one in the same miles one in the same that's how you spread covid i was embarrassed that i i brought it off to a tangent oh no not at all i like i i more like the investigation of blair and and like the the phases of blair um because arrival is it takes a second takes a second takes a second and then we get blair but yeah i mean it totally

makes sense i mean this is the first in the nation sort of mandate that essentially saying like, look, any indoor things you want to do, dining, fitness, entertainment, like you are going to need to be vaccinated. And that's really the path that we need to be on. You have to communicate that this is how you access certain activities. You don't have a right to infect people just because you are uncomfortable with the vaccine. If you don't want to go ahead. No one's saying you don't have a right to infect people just because you are uncomfortable with the vaccine if you don't want to go ahead no one's saying you can't buy food and you can't do these other things but you have to do a lot of outside stuff uh if you're not vaccinated and i think because things like this weren't mandated it allows this sort of middle area to exist in people's minds especially for people who are vaccine resistant or hezy or anti that because there's like this gray area that it just sort of allows

this thing to be like, well, it's normal to not be vaccinated. So why am I not being able to do these other things? Like, no, no, no, no, no. Like this is for the greater good than we've had to do this many times throughout humanity. It's just that you probably don't remember it or based on your media diet diet you've completely recontextualized what this actually is of course yeah this is this is a total win-win because like not only is it the right public health decision where it's going to keep people from getting and contracting covid and spreading it uh but the people who um are affected by the ones who are unvaccinated they will hate it they get to do um a lot of uh victimhood like the performative

like oh this is where I get to feel oppressed. And like, that's exactly what they wanted out of this whole thing. So it's like they're enjoying this, too. They get to do that thing where they're like putting the Jewish star on their cell, doing like some people do that cosplay. And you're like, yeah, like, no, I don't like that. People who have a very bizarre idea of oppression, you tend to see that when they go into like self-victimization mode you're like i don't know if that's so okay yeah i mean like the virus has killed like one and a half times as many people than world war ii did and like yeah so like they're saying in

world war ii like the country actually did have to sacrifice like they're like the the oscars those years were like made out of wood because they couldn't spare the metal. And like today, if that happened, they'd be like, well, listen, I'm as an American. I have a right, my constitutional right to scrap metal and I don't have to turn it in. I have a metal diet and I can't give it up because I'm going to give up my grandmother's pewter trays. That's not happening. Are you kidding me? Also, I have a right to drink out of a light up mug at Buffalo Wild Wings. Don't tell me about an LED shortage for the effort. The fuck?

But yeah, that is kind of where we're at. I see some of these people from a few people that I still follow from high school and they like repost like liberal agenda, crazy liberal like accounts on Instagram. And it's so terrifying they're what you just said their media diet and i know i'm the other side saying that but i just it's like i it's sad science science well i'm always curious to ask people like at what point do you extend help to somebody like especially like evangelicals too because i mean i went to you know lutheran k through eight in the catholic high school so i had been like hearing all these ideas about what it means to be a good christian or someone who believes in

follower of christ and do as christ does and he he was taking was taking care of the people who the rest of society deemed was not well or whatever. Like, where that mentality is now, because when you ask them, like, oh, do people deserve health care? It's almost like, well, not if they can't afford it. Yeah. What the fuck is that? Well, I think, Miles, what you're failing to realize is that all that talk about Jesus and leprosy was,

he was actually just spreading leprosy throughout to make all the weak people die. Right, right, right. But because he was Jesus and he didn't acknowledge his supreme immune system as the son of God, he was like, I don't know what the problem is. It can't be me. And you're like, it's because you're Jesus, dude. But he should still be practicing social distancing.

Wait, I saw this great tweet yesterday in regards to that um by travis acres and it said i want to see an episode of undercover boss with jesus in some evangelical churches and i loved it i fucking loved it because it's just like people just manipulate everything to their own personal agenda you know yeah there's a lot of interesting uh clips of right-wing pastors i don't know if you saw that clip of this guy greg lock who has like this like church where he just screams all kinds of stuff i'm just gonna play a clip really quick so you understand just sort of like how he's even presenting things to his parishioners i've been right about all of it! We've been right about all of it!

He's talking about COVID. Why does it seem like WWE? Jesus Christ. It's literally in a circus tent. This is pro wrestling right now. Right now, he's just getting wound up over the idea of like why we don't need to get vaccinated you know like what what all this stuff is who's doing what all these conspiracies and that's what he's saying i was right about everything so all this fear bullcrap is that it is bullcrap say amen i know you're not in the church where a pastor told you to say amen

after i said bullcrap but i am not a pastor and this is not a church and this is not a religion i'm a huckster terror yeah he then goes on to say like only crack smoking demon possessed leftists think that biden is the president so you know uh a normal one first that is most of the country let's hear crack smoking demon possessed leftists had more popular vote than actually the other guys so yeah what can you do yeah it's like again this is this is a depending on where you are certain people might be saying yeah science is good or the vaccine will help keep you safe other people might be like the demon crack smoking left do you think they listen to this podcast you think greg listens to this podcast and thinks that we're crack-smoking leftists?

He does. He DMs me every day, and he says, I can hear your crack pipe in the background, you demonic Biden leftist. And I'm like, Biden leftist? I don't. Yeah. Sure, sir. And you're like, that's not me, dog. Okay.

I'm like, bruh, check your definition, Greg. And he's like, you will respect me. You will respect the Lord. I'm like, no, I won't, bro. And I think Jesus was just an organizer, if anything, if he was real, bro. You will respect my bull crap. Amen. Amen.

And amen to that. We will win in the end. Why are you talking about wins and losses? You're a religion, not a basketball team. an amen to that. We will win in the end. Why are you talking about wins and losses? You're a religion, not a basketball team. I mean, but I think that's how you do that though, right? Is you can keep this in your mind about how

in the divine, in the afterlife, that's when you're going to really be getting your laughs off because you will be seated at the right hand of god in the throne a kingdom of heaven oh he is right that more of them will be in heaven after this year than everyone else yeah with sort of that attitude and honestly the video is creepy because it was a circus tent they were in it was like a red and white striped tent and i was like

either someone's like uh fumigation business had a few extra tents that you were setting up or that's like a legit circus tent isn't it crazy how like with evolution i'm gonna sound like a stoner but like what's the opposite of truth dude humiliating but um like what we just heard was like this grand master performance of just like one human being trying to make people feel overcome by them and their like agenda and that's been going on forever like this sort of grand theatrics of people trying to grasp for power even on the small level or large level and like you think that we would evolve out of these like very petty small-minded

smaller self things but they keep going on forever they it's we don't humankind does not change in that way is the healthy version doing stand-up oh yeah no um look miles i just want to when you're commanding an audience up there oh my god oh my oh my god overwhelming them with your energy oh my god miles the fucking nerve you think that i haven't considered stand-up comedy is a mental illness nothing nothing less okay look i know i'm aware i've sat with it before unwell unwell okay well i want to move on uh since we were sort of on the topic of new york before we got into the ideas of salvation in christ uh to someone else who's actually very interested in the ideas of salvation in christ is rudy giuliani um because he's been a very bad man. What a man.

I mean, look, he hitched his wagon to the most radioactive star in Donald Trump. And for a moment he was riding high. Like you could tell he was like, I'm that guy. I'm with the president. I'm gooned up. What are you going to do? Fuck that. Fuck laws.

And, you know, he was even jacking his bone in a Borat movie. I mean, he was he was at the top of the world. And then Trump was no longer president. And all the shit that he did, like push Ukraine to like smear Biden and get involved in the political the presidential race or, you know, try to get the election overturned by pushing the big lie, which got him sued by Dominion voting systems. It's all now become like one gigantic legal title wave, and it's about to crush him. The thing is, when you have all this legal exposure,

there's a lot of bills that you got to pay for lawyers and things like that. And no one has been, A, giving any money to his little GoFundMe for like, help me defend myself against the crack smoking demons leftist sort of like campaign that he had. And he's been telling close friends, like he is close to going like fully broke.

Now, I don't know how accurate that is because this is the same guy that quit a job to try and make it look like his income was diminished so he would owe less in spousal support. So, you know, we'll take that for what it's worth. But on top of all that, Trump has been sitting on $82 million that he just straight grifted off of supporters

and just been spending on himself. And a lot of the Trump ally people are like, what about like helping the dude who fucking quite literally was just fucking shit up to try and get you in office and it only just destabilized the country it's quiet oh okay miles you think that glam team is cheap it's not okay that is a lot of work a lot of parties work very hard on his look okay which way who's glam team trump trump yeah doesn't he like but i feel

like he's like one of those guys who hates being like touched so he would like do it all himself like because you know he the application looks i mean like the way he puts it on his eyes and stuff you know he's not really blending or do we think there's a hmu team there or it's all self-applicated? Look, my guess is it's not self-applicated. Okay. I like that. Look, king rule number one, someone else puts your bronzer on before you make a speech. That's for sure. I do like the idea of a team coming in wearing hazmat suits to come do his hair.

Keeping it safe. Yeah. I feel bad for Rudy because he, you know, he did all that dirty work, as you said. Now you said now he's not getting support from trump and like listen i was with trump for the whole thing and now to find out he's a bad friend come on like that's the last straw you can't treat your friends like that i just thought it was a coincidence every other time people are like i went in business with him and he stole from me or i worked for him and he never paid me it's not like there's a trail of evidence yeah also the giuliani scene in borat i am not over that also and another thing i can't believe in this country is how much shit is literally video evidence that nothing ever transpires from i mean like can you imagine

what is happening like that was with a film crew like what would happen what goes on in non-media sanctioned interviews a lot i mean you look at the state of everything like whether it's you know sexual assault or racism and things like that. It's like you truly it's like, well, do you have 4K video at 60 frames per second? It doesn't matter. We can look at. And even then, half the time, it doesn't matter. This is wide release to the entire country.

No problem. It's just still. Yeah, it's free. It wasn't even behind a paywall. This is evidence. But yeah. it's free it wasn't even behind a paywall this is evidence uh but yeah so mayor giuliani former mayor giuliani he's also been kind of in the news because obviously this is going to be the 20th anniversary of september 11th and he was mayor at the time and he was at ground zero and he was

talking with local news to be like hey you know what a moment um for you and the country like let's reflect on that he didn't talk about that at all um let's hear what he instead chose to talk about um when he was asked about the significance of the 20th anniversary of 9-11 oh christ i committed no crime and if you think i committed a crime you're probably really stupid because you don't know who i am former mayor rudy jimmy seems fixated on declaring his innocence we've seen you commit a crime on camera as an unregistered lobbyist for ukrainian officials is the guy who put the mafia in jail terrorists in jail ed kocher's commission is in jail and the worst people on wall street i'm not gonna file i mean that's just crazy giuliani says he was only working for president trump as his lawyer voicing frustration about the fbi searches of his home and law office

this is where it gets real good misguided and politically motivated i mean i'm i'm more than willing to go to jail if they want to put me in jail and if they do they're gonna suffer the consequences in heaven i'm not i didn't do anything wrong again baby send it back up to god yeah maybe i'm on earth according to your earth realities a criminal i'm more than willing to go to jail okay great listen they're going to afterlife jail or hell as they sometimes call it exactly we'll see where we'll see where he ends up um but yeah that seems to be on his mind even though he's there to do an interview about one of the most significant events in the last 20 years yeah i'm willing to go to jail but heaven

they're gonna take it up with heaven and the angels that's the thing i'm saying dude i i i threw ed kotz's commissioners in jail anyway what a beautiful 9-11 memorial speech incredible absolutely okay and before we go to another break i just want to bring up um spirit airlines because they had a bit of an issue earlier this week i don't know if you've flown at people we i think we've all experienced spirit airlines at one point oh you haven't okay it's wonderful you both have i think once i took either spirit or frontier every i think everyone should try at least once just to remind yourself why you should never do it people always like just crack jokes about it because it's like a budget airline blah blah. But they've really been having a lot of operational problems.

Like a couple days ago, they had to cancel 277 flights, which was about 36% of its schedule. And then 159 were delayed, which is about 20% of its schedule. So overall, 56% of their flights were fucked up. And some they would say is like, it was weather, but it's also not weather too like there's also staffing issues and it looks like spirit like kind of tried to ramp up their business really quick again without having the proper personnel to actually like facilitate having all these flights move around so on top of that with all these flights delayed because they're like a low-cost carrier they don't have any of these things that are like interline agreements like with other airlines, which is normally the thing that will happen. So like if you have a delay or cancellation, like there's a way to remedy that because it's like, oh, we have relationships with other airlines to sort of sort this out.

So that's like the inherent risk with Spirit Airlines. the inherent risk was spirit airlines so cut to many airports especially around the southeast like in fort lauderdale orlando and then in san juan puerto rico people were fucking stranded and there was like sort of anecdotal information that the spirit airline staff was like slowly retreating from like the the like the tape like the desks to help customers. And we're saying like we might need to like sneak out the back because like we have nothing to tell people. And like the situation is just getting really, really tense. So you can see a situation where you have people who are like, I can't make my connecting flight because you just canceled it.

What can I do? This line's three and a half hours for me to even speak to someone at that point. What flights are there? And then on top of you have agents slowly like doing the homer simpson bush gif where they're like sorry i'm gonna back up into this bush now um and it just sucks because at the end of the day like as much you know you see how people get at airports like it's always the ticket agents that are gonna get that get all this shit when it's not like they're like i don't run spirit airline yeah i'm working for them um it just looked all kinds of bad well i keep seeing

these articles saying that like people just in general are getting way more unruly and i've seen this a little bit at comedy shows too where it's like oh you guys have so much pent up energy in you from being inside for a year and a half that like some of you forgot how to act in public and then they keep saying all of this like bubble inside people of stress is like bursting in public in ways that it wasn't really before in like certain especially in certain common spaces where there's like um social agreements that you don't act that way. And now all these like, these flight attendants are like guardians of the galaxy.

Yeah. And this guy's like, oh, you didn't let me touch your tits. I'm going to fucking lose my, you know, like. My pants are worth $2 million. I saw that clip. I was like, what the fuck is this guy saying?

And he got duct taped to the seat. Which is so hysterical, by the way. Yeah. saw that clip i was like what the fuck is this guy saying and he got duct taped to the seat which is so hysterical by the way yeah it's just wild because there's stress everywhere you know like whether that's people that are traveling right you don't they could be spread thin financially and they're having to be on a flight where they don't even want to you know like maybe it's the travel they're doing is like stressful they may have to go take care of somebody and then like you know a lot of people have all kinds of stressors that is not just apparent on the surface like and i think the pandemic has really put a lot again like to your

point a lot of pressure on people from all different kinds of sides and i think unfortunately in america we have this terrible habit because everyone says the customer is always right it's like in these customer service interactions are like people just sort of take advantage of this idea to be like well i'm just gonna indulge my anger right now and just direct this person oh yeah this feels like the venue for that like every travel situation is stressful everyone's going through that and how that pent-up stress is bray was talking about um but like and if they interact with spirit airlines spirit airlines is like a like an american ninja warrior gauntlet of stress where like every single thing is designed to make you stressful so of course

it's just going to be an explosion of of horrible behavior on both sides that makes me so mad when people lose it in public because it's like suppress that shit like the rest of us. OK, we're mad. We're on the fucking Spirit Airlines. Dramos just said the Frontier suspended the flight attendant who duct taped that creep. And that person is suspended when that man was causing danger and injury to the employee who had no one to defend her from being sexually assaulted to be fair though she did violate the protocol the normal protocol is to get in a knife fight to the death on a frontier airline that's how you have to

establish your dominance if you want to keep your flight attendant position you need to someone you know defeat them in one-on-one combat if i were jet blue i'd call i'd be calling and hiring that guy because that's the type of shit that's the type of shit we need in the planes now as everyone's losing their fucking mind or there's like some viral duct tape company that's like a we'd love to like give you the face of our duct tape right now. The hero. The flight attendant presentation begins. Here's the seatbelt thing. Here's the life vest. And here's the ball gag we'll use if you guys try to start fights with us.

Oh, and that's the nice one. We have another one that's a wooden dowel with a bunch of dried blood on it with a bunch of chicken wire that we'll just wrap around the back of your head, too. There's that one, too. There's that one, too. You know every once in a while when you get like a really bitchy flight attendant who loves their five minutes up top and they have like all these jokes and like they really want you to know like you know i'm not bothered by you and i won't be and i i would love if like

some flight attendants start like working that shit in and to their like speech up top. A lot of comedians. I feel like hate when they hear flight attendants do jokes, but I like it. I like, yeah. Cause I'm like, they're getting their time to shine right now.

And I feel like on Southwest, I feel like that was the, one of the first airlines where people were like casual enough to like talk some shit. Like, especially if you took that flight on southwest from like burbank to vegas like that was just joke fest absolutely a lot of jokers on there yeah a lot of jokers on that plane it should also teach some comedians some empathy because in every comedy show there's

obviously one person who doesn't want to be there so like of course like this is what it feels like when you're uh sabotaging one person's night with your jokes. So we'll pay back. Well, comedy is a mental illness. Yeah. Well, I'll ask more about that when we talk about this other story coming up after the break. So let's pay some bills real quick. We'll be right back after this.

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.

And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back. I want to talk about a couple of first the weekend the man that has made some of the sexiest music from the 2010s he's realized that he in fact doesn't want to be high for this because he said he's really he's kind of giving up drugs in a recent gq interview

he said he he confirmed, he still drinks occasionally, smokes weed, but as for other drugs like Coke, evoked in the song, Can't Feel My Face, he's not doing that anymore. He said, quote, no, drugs were a crutch. It was me thinking that I needed it and not doing the work to figure out how not to need it. And I've spent the last few years realizing that

and thanking God that I don't need it because for a lot of people, it's hard to shake it. I knew I didn't want it. And I've spent the last few years realizing that and thanking God that I don't need it because for a lot of people, it's hard to shake it. I knew I didn't want it. He calls it being sober light. And I'm just curious, dude, because, you know, we're in being in creative industries, comedians, musicians, what have you. There are a lot of people that I feel like do insist on like being drunk or like getting high to like come up with their ideas and things like that and I don't know just it's it and part of me is like I'm glad to see you realizing that because I remember there was a time when I was like I can only I can only make music if I'm so high off my face I don't know what's happening like as if i was in some other like transcendent space where like

things were making sense sometimes it's good just to jar my thinking but not to the point where i used to think because i think i was just modeling my shit after like shit i'd read on the internet about other artists you're like yo this guy was so high the whole time but i don't know i'm curious to know your perspective especially because i know like i know, like, I myself have been like, oh, maybe it's good to, like, drink before I go on stage or something like that. Listen, this is my PhD thesis, was in cocaine addiction.

So, like, I feel like I can say with some good authority that you, one, should never do cocaine, but if you do, only in your 20s. You can't go into your 30s still, you know, like, partying like that. Yeah, yeah. That's dark that's dark yeah no it's very because like when i see people do that shit i'm like dude we're old bitch like

like i'm putting sunscreen on my hands and wearing wrist guards during sex like we do not need to be doing this i am please stop i'm humiliated by you i don't want to see this shit yeah but i also love the weekend it's just so so funny to me where he's like look gq like i want to i want to make an announcement from now on i am only going to stay high and drunk i am not going to be hitting the hot stuff okay look i am taking i am taking it down it's a new me right right right yeah i don't need to do all i don't need i don't need my face to be numb to come up with ideas and yeah look i'm different okay i wake up and i just hit a bottle of tequila and take down an eighth of weed.

I face like three blunts. It sounds like he got paid to make this announcement by White Claws. Like, listen, addiction's a problem. That's why I'm sticking only with alcohol, which is paying for all. Pivot to the Claws. Also, check out new White Claw weed. They're also on the business. You're like, wait, hold on.

What the fuck? Like, as far as marijuana consumption my rule has always been it's only really majorly after the sun goes down and usually just like a mild gummy or something i can't really smoke because i'll lose my voice in one hit but um like i it doesn't help me creatively i know it helps other people but me, it's more like I can't. I guess comedy, you need to be quick and fast and all those things. But maybe it helps musicians or like a painter. Yeah, I think.

Yeah, because like, I mean, you don't have to like nail the delivery of a joke if you're just like playing bass or like strumming a guitar or something like it's so much muscle memory and just like truly like out of for for lack of a better word just vibing up there you know what i love vibing on the stage hell yeah hell yeah did you ever like drink to like loosen up to go on stage like early on any of y'all or you always just kind of or do you have rules about going on stage like fully sober because you've had experiences you're like that did not go well yeah every time i drink more than two i start slurring my words like after a long set it just gets sloppier and sloppier and then with weed i tried like once and then like my timing was way off because it like does slow you down a little bit so i felt like i was watching myself perform and like i was i was like worse than that was afterward like the set went apparently fine but like the i spent two hours in a corner after the show saying,

why was everyone laughing at me? Yeah. Oh God. It's just super paranoid. Jono, yeah, you're at a standup show. My first three years of standup, I was, I think drunk the whole time. One, it was terrifying.

Plus I was just in my twenties in New York. Yeah, that's normal. Yeah. But now I don't really drink very much. Just in general, I rarely drink. Or if I do. And if you do, it's 1.3. Yeah, that's normal. Yeah, but now I don't really drink very much. Just in general, I rarely drink. And if you do, it's 1.3. Yeah, I just have like one drink. Two max. And like, that

is a fun way to go on stage. But I will say the times that I have been drunk on stage, it's like I'm having so much fun. I'm not really like that concerned with how it's going. And a lot of times it does, it does go well, but I could also think it's going much better than it is. So you don't know.

I even see how like a famous people get in deep with like addiction because they're at like such a level where they, there's so much money and so much riding on it that they need to, um, deliver a certain like quality of product and then you can see how that could slip so easily because you could think that you're doing better than you are you know oh yeah i mean there's nothing like cocaine to uh sort of misread how well you're performing at something or how what your outward energy is like yeah or even like when you're to your point about being famous know, you have so many sycophants and like yes people around you. They'd never be like, hey, maybe that was kind of an L tonight.

They're like, that was great. That was great. That was great. But yeah. Until they lock you in a closet and they're like, you need to quit because I have to pay for my boats. But yeah, that's good to know. So yeah, Blair and Jon they've they've taken the journey and they're sober light um as just like the weekend is the weekend let's see exactly exactly

i mean that's could be another rule it's just only on the weekends yeah yeah right exactly do you think in a couple months you're like uh we saw that video of you like doing a bunch of naz balloons backstage. He's like, okay, well, those are like whippets. You can buy that at a store. So what's the problem here? Yeah, I was really in just like health mode back when I did that GQ article. You know how you get on that?

Yeah, you know. The summer was ending. You're just kind of thinking about ending the year strong yeah going sober life it's the post-covid cleanse which is all those toxins yeah i'll just stop doing my uh evil evil hard drugs all right well jono thank you so much for joining us today and coming back to the daily zeitgeist.

My friend Rob Hayes had this great tweet about like, here it is. I find it ironic that the system is being used to ban critical race theory.

One day when these laws are reversed, these laws will be taught as current examples. Like you're doing the thing that you're going to be. No's what's happening yeah yeah more on that later okay i guess in the history books but who knows they might outlaw history or the concept of remembering things more than a week ago or something listen we're willing like white people are willing to learn about black history right up until the point where they have a role in it. Right, exactly. It's like, oh, that's great. George Washington Carver did that. Okay, let's talk about redlining. Red what?

Oh, no. That's colorism. We can't talk about what colors lines are. Okay, that's reverse racism, actually. If you make me aware of systemic oppression, that's reverse racism. Blair, how about you?
