I watched Megalopolis instead. Oh, how bad was this? So bad. It's good or so bad. It's fucking infuriating. It's pretty tedious, but the tedium makes it so that there's like two very, very funny and insane parts near the end that are like the hardest. I've laughed in a theater

because I was so like, I'll save my line. I got a line prepared for why I watched Megalopolis instead of the instead of the debate. Oh, got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. It's pretty. I mean, it's just like, you know, a crazy rich man got to do whatever the fuck you wanted and a crazy old rich man. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Like the dying fart from a boomer corpse as a film. Yeah.

And Miles, I'm not sure we got a cold open up top. So none of the I thought the talk about Megalopolis. Oh, maybe. I don't know. Was there a big laugh there? Usually, usually there's like a huge laugh. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, bro. Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.

But this is also the podcast we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. And it is Thursday, October 3, which means it's National Techies Day and National Boyfriend Day. That's usually we have a lot more things, but I guess techies I don't I think it looks the picture is of a dude who has an iPad, laptop, and computer in front of him. So if that's you, shout out to you. This feels like an Alpha and Omega situation.

Techies day and boyfriends day just encompasses all of creation. Right, right, right. Everything is all entities are handled. Isn't October 3rd also the day from Mean Girls? When he asked us what day it is. Oh, right. Is it? I mean, I'm going to trust you on that.

You know what I mean? Mean Girls Day. Yeah, you're right. Absolutely right. I just don't want people going off on you in the comments. You know what? I'm pretty sure last year I fucking missed it. And then people are like, yo, is he okay?

Like the actual holiday was Mean Girls. Are you paying attention at all? I am so sorry. When that movie came out, I was at the height of my ignorance as a college student thinking he knew fucking everything there was to be known. And I was like, fucking me, fucking relax, okay? Anyway, I'm your host. It's not

Jack today. Jack is out sick. As some of you may have heard, I said, I clocked it yesterday on the show. I was like, right, I hear something. I hear something. And it turns out today, he needed a bit of a break. That's why it's your host with the most miles great aka the Lord of Lakers from the show going with no gun, the podcaster with micro buns that are, you know, slowly getting more round and strong as I exercise on my bike more because the podcast but is a real thing it is a condition that many of us are

afflicted with but I am thrilled to be joined by my co-host a wonderful person somebody who is a fantastic cook a fantastic okay writer producer you know I guess I'll say elder. When I was working at Comedy Center, this was years ago. Years ago. You always stress that part. Also, a fantastic podcaster you probably know, you must know from Yo Is This Racist.

Please welcome my friend, our co-host, Mr. Andrew T. What's up? I signed on too late to do the podcast to do to get it, AKA in the chamber, so AKA, Dr. Unprepared as usual. Hey. I'm glad you made violating Jack's, doing a HIPAA violation on Jack part of the content. That's the key.

Yeah. Well, I call it transparency. Some people call it a HIPAA violation on Jack part of the content. That's the key. Yeah, well, I mean, I call it transparency. Some people call it a HIPAA violation or a legal faux pas, but I'm just saying, I'm just trying to be open and honest, y'all. That's right. And that's why I got a stack full of FBI files that the person who used to live here left behind that I'm going to be revealing very soon.

And the truths within will shock you. But anyway, Andrew, you been good? Yeah, I'm going to be revealing very soon. And the truths within will shock you. But anyway, Andrew, you been good? Yeah, I'm alive. I've been watching some pretty wild movies in the last week. I love that. In some pretty wild places, too. I'll trickle out this information as the episode continues. A consummate professional. Well, then let's welcome our guest today.

In our third seat, a talented comedian, writer, actor, you may have seen them appear on places like the Late Late Show with James Corden, or perhaps, I don't know, Comedy Central stand up features. I don't know, maybe the wonderful Don't Tell Me comedy shows that are around the people. People are like, where's the Don't Tell Show at? How do I get in? How do I know about this? Look, our guest has been everywhere. Seen him on Heathers, seen him on Corporate, writing episodes of Corporate.

Also, I think one of the nearest and dearest Swifties to this show's heart, please welcome to the third seat, Paige Weldon! Oh my God, an honor and a privilege. It's so good to be here. Great to have you, great to have you, Paige. Great to have you. I'm always like reminded too

about the first time we actually met, which I think was at the chatterbox when I made a guy go do a bunch of AI written jokes on stage. Oh wow. And he absolutely bombed and killed the room. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I remember that. Yeah. It was bad.

I don't know that I, yeah, I feel like I didn't connect that with you until later when we met another time. Yeah, and I was like, I was like, Paige, I've met you. And I apologize because I think I took the life out of the chatter box with this dumb video I was making for Wired Magazine.

It was an open mic and I just feel like it's already a delicate situation, you know? Yeah. How much worse could it be, really? Dude, I'm not joking. You can probably look it up. It's on Wired's YouTube channel about this guy, Brent Rose, had to go on stage. We cobbled together every... because this is the era of Alexis and shit coming out

and we're like, they tell jokes? Write them all down and send this man up there to tell them straight faced in front of an audience who thinks it's stand up. Yeah, there was like a really beautiful high res photo of me looking at my phone at the bar that I think was part of the article about this. I was like, oh, oops, everyone wins. Everyone wins. Well, Paige, it's great to have you.

Also, I'd be remiss. I forgot to mention you have a new album. I turned out fine out now on ASC Records. Man, I need it. I want a record. Is it hard? Is it hard to do? Yeah.

You want to record one? It looks hard. No, you need a Daily Zeitgeist Greatest Hits album, dog. Oh, shit. That would be kind of fun. Just print your spiciest takes to the final. I know. It's hard because there's so many times, like, there are, you know, like people who listen to the show reach out and they're like, oh my God, yesterday's thing that you

said, I'm like, I talk so much. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. Oh my God. Yeah, you can't remember everything. Yeah. You would need someone to comb through the archives. Because there's not much there. Not only can you remember anything, everything, you can't remember everything. Yeah, you would need someone to comb through the archives. Cause there's not much there. Not only can you remember anything, everything, you can't remember anything. I, the instant I say something on a podcast,

it was completely gone from my memory. Yeah. I think that's the only way you can survive. It is nice that this comes out immediately because I do feel like other times I'm on a podcast, it comes out, you know, a week, weeks later, and I'm like, damn, I definitely don't want to listen back, but I am curious what I said.

They're like, oh my God, that take you had on strawberries, Paige? You're like, strawberries? Damn. Did I? Fuck, I don't even know. Well, Paige, we're gonna get to know you a little bit better, but obviously we gotta tell people what we're talking about today.

Obviously, I don't put together three guests or two guests for this show who aren't going to be fully tapped into the goings on of the world, including the vice presidential debate that happened on Tuesday. Because guess what? Not today. We're doing we're switching things up. I got two people that couldn't give a fuck less about the presidential debate for their

own reasons. But then that will be me because this is the duty of the show because I know some of you don't give a fuck either And rightly so you have better things to do. I Your intrepid host put my body on the line to watch that fucking snooze fest And I'll tell you some of the funny shit that happened amongst other things. I mean I should be bored Yeah, nothing represents America better than like two- thirds of us really didn't give a fuck. Yeah, I don't know. What do you want? What do you want, man? Like, sure. I watched.

I mean, the thing is, you could I feel like that both of you are intelligent enough that you could probably lie through the segment and you would come off as if you had actually seen it. If you're just like, I don't know, dude, JD Vance, lying, I think. So we'll talk about that. Well, there was an interesting moment where JD Vance gave his thoughts on climate change. And it connected with this story I was thinking of about Asheville, North Carolina, which is one of the hardest hit areas from Hurricane Helene.

And how prior to this, people, even in the climate field, were saying, this is one of those places that would be, I think, pretty good to escape the worst parts of climate change. But I think this revealed that there might not be such a place that exists. Uh, and then Paige, like I said, a Swifty, you know what's going on, but I'm so glad you haven't seen this clip because I think for some of us that are terminally online, it was hard to miss this video that went viral of this red faced boomer just destroying a Taylor Swift guitar.

Now we don't know why, but I'm pretty sure we know why. He didn't outwardly say why, so we'll get into that and the provenance of that guitar. But anyway, we'll get into that and plenty more. But first, Paige Weldon, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are or what you're into? Okay. I Googled the third Gilmore girl, which is Kelly Bishop's memoir that came out a couple of weeks ago. Which one's the third Gil... Oh, is that the mom?

Okay. Yes, the grandma. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Yeah. I listened to the audio book of it and then I found myself I found myself trying to remember like things that she said and I was like I gotta get a hard copy of this Like I need a dog ear some I need a dog ear some pages here

Yeah, I just I need it as a reference text like I need to be able to revisit it What I looked it up? I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna wait and maybe get it Not to be a bitch, but from my local bookstore, but I did Google it to potentially buy it online And wait, so what's what she did? Like what she sort of what was intriguing to you? Like oh shit. I need I need this on wax. Like I can't just have this She's just such a cool chick Like she just has had such a life and it's just so interesting.

She just has some real banger moments that I wish I remembered exactly what she said. You know what I mean? Even right now, you're like, ah, fuck, camera, so I need the book. Well, the story that comes to mind is there's a story in the book, she talks about that she got cast in something. She started in theater and as a dancer,

and she talks about that she really wanted this agent to work with her. And so when she got cast in something, just by virtue of people she knew, and they asked, do you have an agent that we can call to work this out? And she just dropped that person's name and said, you can call this person.

And then of course that ended up working and that person became her agent. And she just has so many moments like that that I'm like, I wanna go back and remember exactly how she dropped that. That's like the kind of shit, like when people always say, fake it till you make it. That's like one of the few moments it goes off seamlessly

because there are other, I feel like there's a lot of horror stories too where people fake it and then they get found out quick. Yeah, it is funny listening to her story because like, obviously she's very successful and she's highlighting her best moments and stuff. And it is funny, like, it is always... It is kind of funny when you're listening to or reading somebody's life story and there's sort of this thread of like,

fake it till you make it or advice like that of like, if you don't book it, it's because you're meant to be in something else. It's like, yeah, for you. Yeah, exactly. I'm sure that felt true for you. Yeah, I've been faking it so fucking hard and what helped me, how much harder can I fake this shit? Yeah, but I just But I really enjoyed it and I was like, I want the hard copy, so that's what I Googled. Yeah. I feel like old Hollywood advice is so damaging to everyone currently trying to work now, because it's always just some shit that not only will not work now,

but will probably get you in immense trouble, if not legal trouble. Right. Sneak onto the lot and just hand your script out. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Yeah. They're like, who's your agent?

Um, Ari Gold from Entourage? Uh, whoever that guy's based on. Fuck. Ari Emanuel. Anyway, that's like the, I was just like to that point about like how shit used to be. I was, I was listening to this like this interview that Rachel from Family Matters, Telma, what's her real name? But the Telma Hopkins,

she like used to be like a backup singer for like Marvin Gaye. And like she was like really like up in it. And she talked there's a moment she talks about how she for the table read for the pilot for Family Matters, she was doing like a backup singing gig in Lake Tahoe and for her to make it to L.A. for the table read of the pilot of Family Matters. The producers sent a fucking Learjet to pick her up and bring her back. And I was like for a fucking table read of a pilot. I was like the money's gone. Y'all the money's fucking, or at least it's not moving in the same direction anymore. It's just all going to the top. But anyway, there's that. Love old Hollywood.

Fake it till you make it. Yeah, I just, I do love a story that I'm like, I'm not taking the advice from her. I'm just really like, I just think it's so cool to listen to somebody. She's, I think 80 now. She just turned 80 and it's just cool to listen to someone reflect on their life with perspective. Yeah. Right. Cause I could not do that shit now with my narrow perspective of life looking back, but yeah, you're too close to too many of the events, you know,

dude, I was such a fucking baller motherfucker didn't even know. You know what I mean? Nothing could possibly go wrong. I'm in't even know. You know what I mean? Nothing could possibly go wrong. I'm in this motherfucker VIP. You know what I mean? Things are going good and I think they will for the rest of my life. Yeah, yeah. And I'm 40 and both my parents are still alive and it was all smooth sailing from here. What's the main thing is underrated, Paige? I decided to go with there's this artist I really like. Her name is Orla Gartland, singer-songwriter. And I do always feel bad saying someone's underrated because it's like, obviously she has some popularity,

but I just, she has a new album coming out soon, but I really, someone sent me one of her songs, like sometime last year, and I got really into her first album called Woman on the Internet. Love that album title. It's so good. It's just such a good album. What's her style?

Kind of like pop, indie, I guess. Okay. I see her up there with her guitar. Okay. Okay, Warla. Yeah. I just think she's cool and I just, you know, I think it's rare that somebody sends you a song and then you go to check out the full album and you're like, yeah, I like all of this. Right, right. Those are the best music finds. Like when you find out, like, obviously we're out here looking for songs we like and then artists.

But like when you find an album, you're like, oh my God, like this is there are no skips in this. I like this is I wasn't sure I was like in need of something I wanted to hear and I couldn't articulate it and here it is boom. Yeah, it's rare So if you're how would you liken it if you were a Spotify algorithm if you're a fan of X you will like or La Garland Oh interesting. Oh That's so hard Come on algorithm John Henry this I'm gonna actually look up what an algorithm. Here, let's John Henry this.

I'm going to actually look up what Spotify recommends. Yeah, I'm curious. Yeah, let the computer do the job for me. Yeah, that's true. Why? I'm sorry. You should be, I didn't mean to make you replace the computer and not the other way around.

Okay. Orla. Let's see. Listeners who fuck with Orla also also like Baby Queen, Dodie, Loan, Maya Hock. Damn, I guess I got some other stuff to check out. Wait, Maya Hock is a musician? Ethan Hock's daughter didn't-

I didn't know Maya Hock was an artist. Yeah, I did know that, but I haven't actually heard her music. Who's Sunflower Bean? That's another one, they said. I am liking, I know this did know that but I haven't actually heard her music. No, it's sunflower bean. That's another one They said I am liking I know this just makes me old how all of these sound like made up Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say the other artists that I was considering bringing up whose ash Okay, but I think she's more popular, but I really like album Wilson She's cool cuz she like kind of she kind of dipped for a little bit she had a really good first album and then

moved back home for a minute and just came out with this new album. I would say if you like her. Her famous song is, I think it was in a movie or something. What is Ash's famous song? I hate it when I have to think of something and it leaves my brain. It's okay. Moral of the story. Okay. Yeah. This is why we have phones. When I have to think of something it leaves my brain. It's okay moral story Okay. Yeah, this is why we have phones. Yeah, why would you need to remember stuff with? I don't know. So you don't even know that brain does an atrophy

Yeah, you don't even know how to navigate physical space or orient yourself. That's all fucking Dumb, you know, they mean the phone does my watch does. Like I even see like that feature in like like Apple watches too that it'll literally just guide you to wherever the fuck the thing you lost is. It's like you're closer, hotter, hotter, hotter. Yeah. Oh, you know what I could say? What happened to praying to Saint Christopher? What just came to me, there is one song on Orla Gartland's album called Codependency that to, I got really hyped on that song

because it sounds to me like it would be in like a 2000s movie soundtrack, like it would be on the soundtrack of Freaky Friday. I got pretty hyped on that one. And Zombie is a similar vibe. What's something you think is overrated, Paige? I struggle with this one for the same reason. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Everybody likes everything the amount that they do.

That's fine. That's fine. I appreciate the caveat. So I have a really weak one, but I'm going to say it. I don't like setting my bills on auto pay. Okay. I want to know when money is leaving my account. I set my rent payment on auto pay in July because I was gonna be out of town

and I was just like, oh, what if I can't get online? Like I'm just gonna set it. And every month since I'm so stressed because it's like a large sum of money is gonna leave my account. I need to do that all in just a few clicks. I need to know when money's leaving. Yeah, yeah.

It took me a while to get on board with auto pay. That's like the one thing I've that's when I come like, OK, I think I can put my phone on autopay. I like that. Certain ones you go, OK, all right. I think I can handle this. I think another part on a credit card, so I don't worry about it. But then I forget that I put that bill on my credit card and I think I have money that

I don't, you know? I just need to be on top of it. Yeah, no, it helps. It helps. It helps. Oh, Andrew, everything auto? I'll just counterpoint. No, just don't be on top of it.

I got burned by auto pay actually in a similar situation. When I moved to LA, I drove, sorry, Paige, not a similar situation to you, a similar situation to your fear, which was when I moved here, I drove from New York to Los Angeles, and I just fully forgot that my credit card bill wasn't on auto pay, and I just missed it by a couple days while I was on the road. And they were not nice about it. Oh, really?

You might be surprised to learn, city group, not very nice when it comes to their money. No, no. Didn't they descend from a bank that used to be in the slave trade? I don't know. I mean, that's most banks in the United States, if we're going to be real. But yeah. Wow. I mean, wait, what do you mean?

Like what they pulled what do you mean? Like what, they pulled up on you violent? They hit you with some exorbitant fee? They shamed you, called your family? The fee was quite high. Yeah. I think it was like three, 400 bucks a month. What?

How long did you forget to pay? Yeah, I was gonna say, hold on. Two whole days? Are you talking about interest? No, definitely wasn't interest. I don't keep a credit card balance. I try. I never have, except for that one time.

Dude, my dad scared the fuck out of me when I got out of the house. He's like, look, people are gonna offer you a credit card. Do fucking not. Maybe it was the interest. Maybe it was the interest. And I think I had had all my moving expenses on. So it was like one of the bigger credit card bills I ever.

Yeah. Well, in theory it's good to put it, well, in theory it's good to put that on a credit card, right? Because then you build credit by paying it off. And then if you have like a card where you get points or something, but... Yeah. But also like if that had been on auto pay, would you have had, you know what I mean? It's like, do you have the money in your account?

Like, you could then overdraw your other account. No, thankfully, I had it. It was more just like, yeah, I just I just fully I was a I can't put this on AutoPay. I need to remember. And then I would write just, you know, I guess what's overrated is the banks, you know, the banks. Oh, yeah. Bring it. Bring the whole fucking system down, please. Yeah. All right.

Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about the thing that's on everyone's minds. The thing that no one missed out on. The vice presidential debate right after this. My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black gay non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and I'm messy. But not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flawed.

I'm on a mission to destroy shame around sex. And the only way to do that is to talk about sex. So that's what we'll do on my brand new podcast, Tell Me Something Messy. OK, let's play this messy round of smash or pass. OK, here it is. Smash or pass. Spit play.

I don't know. I don't know how I feel about bodily fluids being on me, unless it's... Oh! Ah! Ah! Because we're doing the pull out. We're living on the edge.

Oh my god. I was not expecting that. Baby, like I always say, if you know how to work that body, that sexualness, and that heart, you're unstoppable. Embrace your power. That's really what we're going to do on this show. Join me on Tell Me Something Messy with brand new episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us.

Like our recent episode with dancer, actor, host of Dancing with the Stars, and now novelist, Julianne Hough. I feel really whole. I feel like the last few years, I've really unraveled a lot, which is part of what this book is about. And I really feel so content, which is a word that used to scare the crap out of me. And I love that word now.

Listen to the bright side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Carrie Champion and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down to history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really in here them boys.

I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her.

What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeart Radio app,

I started this podcast to have real conversations that help you live with more meaning, whether it's navigating relationships, working on your mental health or figuring out what you're truly here to do. This week, I welcomed back Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford University, known for his insightful work on brain development, neuroplasticity and the intricate connection between the brain and body. Letting go and not trying to control everything but also pushing oneself to be more resilient and tenacious and things of that sort. I

feel like all of life is like that. All of life is about, yes, you need to take care of your physiology. You need to get your sleep at night, but it's also okay to get a bad night's sleep every once in a while. It's okay to not do every protocol. In fact, it's encouraged to not do every protocol. The expectation on us is not perfection, right? It's being able to toggle between these different states.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. And we're back. And I guess the last debate that we are going to get in this cycle happened Tuesday night when JD Vance and Tim Walz had their showdown on CBS. And I say, I guess it's the last one because I think Trump fully backed out of the second presidential

debate. He's also backing out of a lot of interviews, which I hope is a sign that he's there trying to pull like a Dave type situation. Like, we need a double fucking now because this guy cannot go out there. Sorry to bring up like a really timely reference of a Kevin Kline Sigourney Weaver film. You know who could do it is John Voight in Megalopolis,

which is what I watched yesterday instead of the debate. Wait, isn't Sigourney Weaver? Yeah, yeah, she was the first lady. Okay, so before we get into it, the two of you, you both watched it, right get into it the two of you you both watched it right is how you said you both got it Well, no, cuz I knew I was coming on to this and you would tell me you could learn about it. Yeah, that's smart Okay page great answer and then Andrew. You're you're one of the most like up on you know You know people I know my one prepared line for this entire episode

So I was really interested in watching a fascist who thinks he's a libertarian who's resentfully doesn't have the approval of liberals So Megalopolis good whoo I will say, you know I don't come on here. I feel like the reviews are probably pretty accurate It's it's a pretty specific type of person who likes, is really going to love it. Probably not me. That being said, I... There are two scenes in this movie that made me laugh harder than anything I've ever laughed at in a movie theater. That's good. This is a new movie!

What's that? I thought you were talking about some old movie. No, no, no. It came out over the weekend. It's like, this is theaters right now. There's so much stuff. And I have no idea why, none of us are aware of the same stuff. This is crazy. Well, and this was also, no one would buy this. No one wanted to distribute this film.

So like, there was really no rollout of this. Okay. Aside from people were like, I think, like, or not, I think like Francis Ford Coppola was assaulting people on set and then doing massive rewrites on his trailers. It wasn't on the thing in his trailer, smoking weed. You, you gotta, you gotta, um, you know, uh, our artists, not the art, um, or whatever of it, no, there's a lot of terror.

I mean, you know, John Voight, Shia LaBeouf, it's a really a, who's real gropey kind of set, we'll just say. But yeah, I'd heard it was, you know, not so good, but yeah, not a joke. I laugh for like, I'm not a big theater laugher, but I really wanted Buckwild. Also, and I'll get to this at my recommendations

at the end, but I saw it at ******, which I don't know if the two of you have ever been there. I never have. I'm aware of it. I've not been inside there, though. But I'm suspicious. I'll just give just a little indication of what kind of joint it is. Yeah. For, so okay, you know, like AMCA list for, I don't know, whatever, $30 a month. You get unlimited-ish with some restrictions,

movie screenings. M*****'s version of this is they have a year pass that costs $99. What? It is, it is, in my opinion, the best deal. Yeah, it's like 28 cents a day. Yeah. Oh my God, dude. I'm in dreams it's like 28 cents a day. Yeah. Oh my God, dude.

I'm in dreams. And the thing that I always hear is like, that place is busted. They're like, yo, I don't know, man. They say it's a movie theater with Dine-In, but it does not have the right vibes. The parking is a scam. I don't know. Yeah. But it doesn't not feel like if you were writing a movie

about an obvious organized crime money laundering place. Allegedly, it would allegedly seem a lot like this. My mind is blown with a deal that's worse from a business perspective than fucking movie past somehow. Maybe they're in trouble and they're just throwing stuff at the wall. Like, what if this? Yeah. Let me just say I know about this pass. I have been to this theater and I just still won't go.

I'm sorry. I still won't buy that pass. Okay. Okay. I was intrigued for a second because I did recently cancel my AMC. Right. And I've kind of regretted it. It's like, of course, like I thought there was nothing coming out I cared about. But then I realized as soon as I canceled that there's a bunch of stuff that I like kind of care about. And I'm like, oh, damn, I'm not gonna see that now. They do have they have

new movies. I mean, I saw Megalopolis within the first week it's out and it's it seems fine. Like there's nothing like outwardly wrong with the place. It just right is. It is the one star reviews in this place are scavenging. Yeah, I was just looking it up. Yeah, that it's I did. I did see a Reddit review for their other location where apparently if they sell to like zero tickets, or no, if zero people have checked in regardless of how many tickets they've sold, they just straight up won't play the movie. And so someone arrived late and they just walked into a, you know, a theater with all the lights on.

Dark room. No, no, like everything just lights up, house lights up. Like the club is closing? They're like yeah man here it is. Nothing and then he you know they went to to find an employee which took a beat and then when they finally did they were like oh yeah we just thought you want us to play it? And they just like it was like like a TV at your friend's house. Yeah yeah. They just hit a couple buttons on the iPad and the movie started. All right, can you wait a second? I gotta rewind it really quick.

You gotta rewind it? They should let you take, just pause the movie. You should just, if enough people in the theater yell pause at the same time, just a little key break for everyone. Yeah, look at her, hey, hey, are we down to pause? Okay, yeah, all right. Pause.

Maybe there could be like a button you push when you're thinking, and if enough people silently push the pause button, it's agreed upon. You trigger the threshold for the theater-wide pause. Yeah. Since we're talking about it, the other thing that rules about this place is

it's like a dine-in movie theater, like in Alamo, except their ordering system is on your phone. So in order for their business model to work, you have to turn on your phone. Yeah, cool. Perfect. And you have to have sounds on and alerts on, or else you won't know.

It is my favorite theater for a certain type of movie, and I will say Michaelopalopolis was definitely one. That does sound right. Yeah. For $99 for the whole year, like it does feel like, I'm like, ''Yo, bro, let's go get wild over at the fucking.'' Yeah.

All right. Well, enough of that because we're putting off the actual news that happened is vice presidential debate. This is what I'm interested in personally, but okay. We haven't even started. I know. Part of you is like, ''I don't know, man. Go ahead.'' I mean, here personally, but okay. We haven't even started. I know. I mean, part of me was like, I don't know, man, go ahead. I mean, here's the thing. There's a lot of talk, obviously, about what was specifically said, like any reputable

journalist would do, talking, reporting on what was said. None of it was really all that surprising given how each campaign has been messaging like the stakes of the election and just like the rhetoric being used. But like the thing was Vance tried to come off as some kind of moderate when it came to things like abortion or like election denial, but failed. Tim Walz was just so normal and nice. He sort of just kind of seemed out of place next to a political creature and chronic bullshitter

like Vance. Like there were times where he would be like, oh, well, you know, there was a time like he misspoke, he was talking about like understanding school shootings. And he's like, and I've become friends with school shooters. And like now, like, can't you know, like conservative news like what Tim Walz is friends with school shooters. It's like, dude, the guy clearly misspoke.

And he was talking about becoming friend, like because his sort of stance on gun control change and he said that happened after meeting, you know grieving parents and so like again, I think from Stylistically, I guess if you're just going from who quote sounded better I would say Vance sounded better in that like his the the cadence at which he spoke was smoother But there was no substance to what he said, and he basically used his smooth talking to lie constantly and dance around the real hot button issues like

him and Trump's constant vilification of immigrants, or the fact that Vance wouldn't even say whether Trump lost the election in 2020. It was very yikes adjacent. I did see that clip. I saw that. I saw him refusing to answer. It's it's very I mean, it's like he tried to wiggle his way out of it. But again, it's like one of those things when you listen to you're like, Oh my

God, this dude is so full of shit. You know, and I think Roy Wood Jr. tweeted something along the gist of sort of like JD Vance has the energy of a man like a restaurant manager that understands your experience was terrible, but he has not taken that hamburger off the bill. Yeah. That's essentially like, so I think it was for most people like, I don't like this fucking guy. And I, you know, a lot of talk about the polls, like, well, who won?

Who won? There's all like so many headless, who did win the debate last night? I mean, like I think in a snap poll that like CNN or CBS may have done, people seemed evenly split if that fucking matters. When it came down to likeability, I think Vance demonstrated that, you know, despite his better than expected performance, people just don't like him. And Walsh came out with a boost in his approval ratings rather than JD Vance.

But it really is one of those things where it's like, the presidential debates are really giving you an idea of who the president will be, whereas this one just feels like, and then the two lesser characters can talk on stage. Yeah, who gives them their thing? Yeah. But it's like, he's such a freak. I think it's such a missed opportunity to really, you just gotta call him a freak to his face constantly. That was the thing, right?

Like, Walsh was, he's just, I think he's just genuinely incapable of getting the knife out. You know what I mean? Like, you're like, yo, this should have been a knife party up there. This guy has said so many fucking stupid things and offensive, racist, violently misogynistic things that you can just be like, hey, man, I've actually committed to memory eight things you've said. And every time you say something, I can just dead that with something that came out of your mouth. And the moderators did point out a couple of things that they each said or whatever.

But it didn't come out that way. So I think the other thing is that like Vance sort of, clearly this campaign is just trying to say everything that's happening right now is because of Kamala Harris down from the fucking weather to like, my bacon costs $46 because of President Kamala Harris. And that logic, like he kept using this same shit over and over. Every answer was somehow masterfully. And I mean that in the most sarcastic sense would just kind of reroute the topic back to Kamala Harris. So for example, right, like Walsh is pointing out his dehumanizing rhetoric around immigrants

and how he blames immigrants for like everything. It's like, this guy's gonna blame immigrants for everything, like including like the housing crisis. Here is JD Vance's just spectacular answer on how he's like, oh, you think I'm blaming everything on immigrants? Well, hold this, El, Tim. Tim, just said something that I agree with. We don't want to blame immigrants for higher

housing prices, but we do want to blame Kamala Harris for letting in millions of illegal aliens into this country, which does drive up cost, Tim. 25 million illegal aliens competing with Americans for scarce homes is one of the most significant drivers of home prices in the country. It's why we have massive increases in home prices that have happened right alongside massive increases in illegal alien populations under Kamala Harris's leadership. Under Kamala Harris's leadership. I'm just like, I love how he goes, I goes look I'm not gonna blame illegal aliens for everything

I'm a blame Kamala Harris for letting in the illegal aliens that are the reason we have a housing shortage like Yeah, sir, and it's just like this idea that like yeah Yeah, yeah The reason homes are unaffordable is because people that are you know so Destitute that they're willing to leave their homes and families behind are the ones outbidding people you with a cash offer for a starter home. That's precisely it. It can't be the corporate, you know, hovering of single family homes being turned into rental

units and things like that. So it's just like, sure, man. Yeah, that's what happened. There are a few other really interesting gems that came out of him. I think a lot of people also talked about like gun violence and school shootings and what the plan is there.

Tim Wallace was like, yeah, gun control, that could help. JD Vance's first answer was something akin to like, well, yeah, I mean, obviously you gotta cut down on school shootings, but you know, we also need to cut down on like the inner city gun problem. You're like, oh, okay, so now you're just going to focus on like black and brown people again, when the question was about protecting kids. But when he asked, you know, when asked for something a little

more like, but what, how do you protect kids? This was JD Vance. But what do we do about the schools? What do we do to protect our kids? And I think the answer is, and I say this not loving the answer, because I don't want my kids to go to school and a school that feels unsafe or where there are visible signs of security. But I unfortunately think that we have to increase security in our schools. We have to make the doors lock better. We have to make the doors stronger.

We've got to make the windows stronger. And of course, we've got to increase school resource officers. So we need more police. Yeah. We need the doors to lock better. That's just like, again, his delivery, smooth. The substance, we need door lock better. We need stronger door.

He's clearly are going to be our first gamer VP. door. He's clearly are going to be our first gamer VP because it's just like there's no dumber like strategy except and just like unless you truly believe like oh it's oh we're fighting now oh just right we need more need more armor hit points on the fucking door. Get the fuck out of here you dumbass. We actually need a stronger HP HP HP points on like the weapons, the offensive weapons that the resource officers are using as well as some kind of protective spell that can be cast on the students during such an event. It's truly... Yeah.

Oh my god. It feels like his goal is just to just talk in a cadence so that you like zone out and don't hear what he said. 100%. That's almost precisely like what he's trying to do. Because it's like the thing where it's smooth. Again, it sounds like the guy's talking and saying a normal thing. He's totally talking, 100%.

Oh, and you're like, if you zoom in, you're like, oh, this guy's talking. He's totally saying stuff. You're like, what? What is he saying? And he did his best. I mean, I guess compared to his running mate, yeah, he's a better debater because Trump is just the sure, but that's not really saying much. And it's interesting to see some of the coverage be like, I mean, clearly JD Vance like walked out of that one, like on top. I think just to say that is because he just is like just really good at being a bullshitter and you know saying things that are not true like with the confidence of the 3,000 white men. But that's what it seems.

Yeah, I mean, I will just say that seems like it's the game who cares if he's lying. I mean, I was gonna say obviously it's, but it reminds me of like, there are certain comedians. I'm a standup, so this is like the way I think of this. Like, there are some comedians who you'll watch, like, crush technically, like everyone's laughing. But like, when you think about it, you're like, they're just talking in joke cadence. Like, what they're saying is like a magic trick was done. Right. And then you go, well, ultimately, those people left thinking they had a good time. Right, right, right. That is the trick.

That's how I thought Aziz Ansari's early specials were like. I'm like, I think this guy is just getting louder at certain points. Yeah, if you say it in the right. And people are like, that's a joke. You know? Can you believe that? And you're like, that's a joke. Yeah, if you say it in the right, da, da, da, you know? Can you believe that? And you're like, whoa, oh my God, dude, I can't believe that toilet paper

cost that much at the store you went to. I think both speak to the same thing, which is that a lot of people just don't wanna have to think. So if you offer them that, they're like, yeah, he won. I didn't have to think about what happened at all. Yeah, but I think most people though, when it came down to things like being pro-choice, If you offer them that, they're like, yeah, he won. I didn't have to think about what happened at all. Yeah. But I think most people though, when his like, when it came down to things like

being like pro choice, like he just failed like spectacular. Like he'll be like, no, like obviously I think like this is, this isn't a bad, like people should be able to have a decision, but that I think that choice goes to the States and blah, blah, blah. And like Tim Walls had a pretty good answer. He's like, like, miss me with all this like, like nonsense about if it's a state's choice, like this is just down to someone deciding what they want to do with their own body, like anything that isn't, if we're not just debating that,

like there's no point in talking about it. And he did keep hitting that point. So like in contrast to what Vance would say, you're like, Oh, right. This guy said something like actually like that makes sense rather than his mealy mouthed dancing. Then there's just a lot of stuff too, or like they were talking about family leave and again, Vance like we're all about choice, man, like the choice. Like if you want to.

Sure. If you want to take time off, great. But like, also if you want to toil to death, you know, at work, you should be able to have that choice. You should have that choice. There should be some federal guideline as to like having family leave because, you know, if you are worried that you're going to your family's going to starve to death because you couldn't work over this time,

then you should be able to work and you shouldn't have the option. No, no. Fuck out of here. It's a choice. If you want to make no money during this time, that's your choice. And that's your choice. And that's what we're all about choice. If you don't want your kid to be able to read and you've created some form of mathematics that you want to teach them in your home, that's your choice. Okay. And we'll try and get you subsidies so we can completely destroy public schooling. But anyway, that's our concept. But that's up to you and that's up to the states.

That's all choice. That's where it's like, when you hear they're like, it's your choice. Like, okay, fine. What am I choosing? I was just gonna say, Vpterbake does have this weird sweet spot of like, who the fuck is actually watching this except for the people that can see,

hopefully I would assume see through all this or like have their mind made up either way I guess. Right. Like so it's just like there is a little like it only matters if someone totally biffs something. Yeah. Right. I think. Who undecided watched this? Well I think the people like a lot of places or a lot of, you know,

mainstream media coverage of it is like JD Vance really fucked up at the end when asked point blank about the 2020 election. And he was like, sure, who won? And he's like, like Tim Walz was like, Hey, so did he lose? And then JD Vance goes, you know, I want to talk about the future, you know, and you're just like, Holy shit, like, it just felt like one of those things are like, that's dope. Those are the kinds of non answers that are really revealing. And I think that was like one of the moments that I'm sure the Harris Walls campaign will seize because it was just kind of being like, yeah, like,

we got another batch of like freaks out here who are like, no, we do whatever, whatever I need it to be is the reality. And we'll, you know, do whatever we have to to get there to achieve that. So yeah, did we learn anything new? Not really. So in that sense, I think, you know, it's not like this shifted polls in any meaningful way aside from like their own like ability or people's perception of them and their suitability to be vice president. But yeah, nothing great. In a way, that's why I appreciate you telling me

I'm spoiling Megalopolis for me because now I can't wait to see that. That's actually something I can't wait to see. At least watch a pirated copy, allegedly. All right. Well, let's take a quick break as we discuss the finer points of Megalopolis amongst ourselves, and we'll come back to talk about this poor red faced boomer who may have wasted $4,000. And we'll do that right after this.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.

And we are back. Now, obviously the Taylor Swift of it all is a huge part of this election, especially for people on the right who have somehow, they've absolutely lost it. This is fucking election tampering that this person said that they don't like Trump vote Harris. And for those of us, like I said, who are online all the time, there was this

video of this boomer proudly bidding on and winning a $4,000 guitar signed by Taylor Swift only to smash the absolute fuck out of it with a hammer. So I will play this clip so everyone can kind of see the delight in this man's face. Got like a local auction in Texas. This is the man going up. I just won this Taylor Swift guitar and I'm about to show y'all what I think. Look at him, cause we don't need the wall hanger.

You don't need the hammer, smash it on the ground. You don't need the hammer, smash it on the ground. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Look at him cheering. It's barely breaking. This is so embarrassing. All right. So, yeah.

There's so much going on here. I fully did not realize there was an in-person auction. Um, so yeah, there's so much going on here the Fully did not realize it was an in-person auction. That is what no while this thing Smashed the guitar in the fun way to smash a guitar that we all dream of but no we would never do like At least really your rock star fantasy and smash the guitar. Yeah. Exactly. Humiliating. Yeah.

He's hammering it. He's like a tiny little hammer. Like a tack hammer or something. Nothing is happening to it. I know. Again, nothing says I am not afraid, I am a strong man. Nothing quite like that than hammering

a guitar that you think Taylor Swift side. But here's the thing. A lot of people close to Taylor and I guess knowledgeable fans are claiming that the thing he bought wasn't even fucking signed. Yeah. It looks, yeah. It's just like, it wasn't just a Taylor Swift guitar. Yeah.

Um, for, for this is from Variety reported a source close to Swift's merchandise company confirmed the lack of a signature while it did come with a signed CD insert. The guitar itself was not signed. Another source close to Swift made similar allegations to the Huffington Post. The source pointed out that an authentic Swift signed guitar would have come with an official certificate of authenticity. So people saying like when the video they're like here man. Here's your $4,000 rage piece Do your fucking worse worst without any kind of certificate?

But then like a TMZ said oh we actually have the certificate that the man was given Fans also were noted pointed out like it doesn't have a the seal that is typically on this document that would say that It's the genuine item you can buy the unsigned guitar on eBay right now for 4.99. Yes. Yes. So this man, yeah. Wait, so do we know, did this guy go there with this plan in mind?

No one quite, we haven't heard from the asshole in question. He's been silent ever since. The fact that the auctioneer had a hammer and also there was a sniper rifle on a tripod on the dais behind them. Yeah. This whole thing was for this, right? Let's zoom out a bit.

This was an auction in Texas hosted by the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner. This was like the, yeah, this is like a wild, it's for like hunters, I guess. And yeah, I think, I mean, I think it's pretty clear what the point was. It's a lot of people hooting and hollering and they were just getting off on the fact that this guy pissed away four grand to break something that Taylor Swift hadn't even touched. I think everyone would make their own fun. Well, yeah.

And I think again, because Fox and every, like Elon Musk, Trump, they've all just lost it about it. Like now the like sort of automaton action now is like, must destroy Taylor Swift inanimate objects to then win the election. This is like, did you see the guy who did this like months ago, might've been last year, the guy who like made a point of, he went to Target and bought the like Target exclusive

1989 Taylor's version vinyl to Target and bought the like Target exclusive 1989 Taylor's version vinyl to like smash in the parking lot. But then it's very clear that he replaced it with a different vinyl to smash. It's like black. It's like not the like blue or whatever that that vinyl is. Like he saved, he bought it because he had the case, but he replaced it with a different... Like he took it out of his sleeve, like the vinyl thing that he pulled out of the sleeve was a completely different color and was like, I will now assert my dominance over this flat vinyl disc. Wow.

And it was just like he, so he wanted to preserve his purchase, I guess. It's just so weird. And then like everyone was commenting that and I feel like he maybe did a follow up where he really did smash it or something. But all right, you caught me but now watch this. This is the real one I was saving. Look, my daughter's a fan and I thought it'd be a nice gift. But fuck that y'all. You want to pull my card? Show you how about it. I am.

Like it's just crazy to be such a dork. Like it's just so brutal. Like, what the hell dude? Symbolism. It's just so literal be such a dork. Like it's just so brutal. Like what the hell dude. Symbolism, it's just so literal for like when it comes to conservative outrage campaigns, it's like destroy the object and show everyone. It's blood light. It always comes with after purchasing it. Yeah. After giving her more money.

Exactly. If people only knew about it. I mean they kind of have just like a, like a pay pig relationship with, with Trump. It feels like, you know, it's like, Oh, this is how I prove. Take, take my money, sir. Yeah. Let me, first of all, put some money in Taylor Swift's pockets, but then I'm going to break this thing because I'm so mad at it.

I do believe in capitalist society and I do believe she deserves the money for this. So I'm going to buy it. Obviously. I'm not a communist. I'm not going to buy something used. I'll be doing more damage to her bottom line because so many people will see how much I hate her and be on board with, we all hate her, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's, you figured it out. Oh, they've figured it all out Well pays Andrew. Thank you so much for joining me on the daily zeitgeist page Where do the people find you follow you and what's a tweet or other work of media that you're enjoying? You can follow me on Instagram just at my name page well donedon, and on TikTok, Paige Weldon Comedy. I couldn't get Paige Weldon, because some kid has it, she hasn't posted in years. And she doesn't do fucking comedy.

She doesn't do anything, as far as I can tell. But yeah, find me there, I've been posting about, I just, again, I released an album, you can stream it wherever, and there's a limited run of vinyl that I guess you can buy and smash if you feel some type of way about it. Buy two and smash one for Clow.

Tag me if you do, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, really stick it to Paige if you didn't like her underrated or overrated. I know she was fucking taking shots at people, so, you know, go out there, buy the album, smash the fuck out of it. And then for a tweet, should I send it to you guys? Hold on, let me pull this up. Is it visual?

Well, it's just a little list. My friend, Sammy Mowry, posted this on their Instagram. It's gender neutral ways to say yes, ma'am or yes, sir. So we have Iicatton, that's how I'm choosing to pronounce it, Catton like Catton Crunch. Yeah, Catton, oh yeah, sir. So we have I.I. Cap'n. That's how I'm choosing to pronounce it, Cap'n, like Cap'n Crunch. Yeah, Cap'n. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Sure thing, pal. That's correct, your honor. Okay, computer. That one was big in the comments. Yes, chef. Of course. Weewee at Miamor. Whatever you say, sweetheart.

This next one's my favorite. Right away, doctor. Right away, doctor. For sure, Mix Master They. Uh-huh. Thumbs up emoji. Okay, buddy. And all right, keep it moving.

Yeah, I like okay computer and I like, I would almost say We Chef, just to let people know that I did Stash in Europe. Yeah, I think I'm sure Sammy would condone if you want to mix and match, you know, play around. But this list just cracked me up and I love Sammy. So I wanted to share. Fantastic. Fantastic contribution. Andrew, how about you? Where do people find you, follow you,

hear you, what's the tweet you like or something you're watching? Andrew T. Aside from Megalopolis. Oh, nothing then. My podcast is Yozis Racist. I did a short fiction reading, a friend of this show, and my personal friend, I suppose, Molly Lambert,

has a monthly show called Jazz Roulette in Echo Park. But one of the poets, especially Natalie Shapiro, Shapiro Shapiro with an E, was fucking great. She was so great. I haven't written or read short fiction in straight up 20 years, and I don't think I've been to a poetry reading in longer than that.

Yeah. And that shit was wonderful. Wow. Also Megalopolis. Also L***. Shout out to L***. They're going to hopefully, look, if you work at L***, you know, look, look, just hit us up. Here's what I will say about L***, because I started going there during the writer strike Multiple matinees

I encountered Not one human being And I don't mean like no patrons I mean literally no one took my ticket At the door No one was in the theater It was amazing You just sauntered through the doors and went to your theater

I'm not saying Just sneak into the theater I'm not saying just sneak into the theater. I'm not saying that. But- Yo, all right. I'm sorry, yeah, group trip, group trip. I would say maybe if you're planning to- I thought literally not one human being. Well, you could plan to go to a movie,

like pick a movie and then, and I'm not saying do this, but pick a movie that has a similar time at and at the AMC at the Americana and try first. Right. Yes. Try to walk in and they're like, fuck, all right, we gotta pay for it. Well, if you're willing to see a movie, I do believe it's also just cheaper in general

than any other normal theater. I do recommend it. You just have to realize it's not like, it doesn't have some of the like amenities, or no, it has, I guess technically has the amenities, but it doesn't have the like social structure of other movie theaters. I find it a good way.

Social structure. I mean, again, the phone thing, really, the fact that like to order to make their business function, you have to pull up your phone basically on full. Also they have like reading lamps on the seats that are just the brightest shit you've ever seen. It's not for cineasts. Yeah, opening your phone. This just reminded me,

I went to a movie last week with some friends and I didn't notice what they were looking at, but my friend who was sitting a little closer did. There was someone in the row in front of us opening their phone constantly and it turned out what they were doing was checking their Instagram story views. Hell yes.

Like a lot, like really frequently throughout the movie. Yes. And apparently posted a story, like uploaded a photo from like an earlier time and was like seeking if someone had viewed it. And I just want to say to that person, I hope it happened for you. Just can't have, if you don't know how many likes you have,

why are you alive? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, you know they're looking for a specific person. Yeah, like did my ex see this? Yeah. That's like honestly the gift and the curse of all this data available to people is shit like that. We're like, you know, what happened

is just doing an emo post on Myspace and you're like, you didn't know. We all look at our story views or check things like that, but like boldly just throughout the duration of a movie, it was like a really full theater. It was crazy. Oh God. Yeah. At that point, the movie becomes this person and now you're invested in their story.

Oh God, who are they? They keep looking. What's this account? And then now you're like, look, you're like, I can see a few handles. Let me just see what's going on. Oh yes, roll down. Social ecosystem.

Yeah. They're fucking Fin stuff. Oh, I should also say, don't get the wings. They were pretty dry. But that's on me. Thank you. Thank you for that transparency. I was never going to get the wings.

It was wild to get anything with a bone in it or anything like that. Just get pre-made pizzas. Pre-made pizzas seem like the thing to get. I saw in the Yelp reviews that the popcorn was cold. So I saw that the martinis came in over big wine glass. Oh yes. 40 minutes into a movie. Okay. Since we're still talking about it.

The other thing that's hilarious is they have frequent novelty cocktails that come in glasses that are bigger than their cup holders. So it's the glass holder, put it down. So you have to put like glassware on the floor and shit? I mean, there's like a little tidy, like, you know, swing out desk table thing, but if you got food and a humongous cocktail, there's nowhere to put both.

The reason I can keep talking about this is Victor's put this in the chat. That's the experience I like. I totally agree. I like bad stuff. So I kind of think I would love it. I recommend check it out. You have literally nothing to lose. There's a real chance that it won't even cost you money to go in there and just see it's you either love it or you don't.

But I personally love it. 80% of the time, I would say I would like that for 80% of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I think it's like one of those things when you go in there being like, Oh, this is about to be some shit.

You're prepared. And that's all you need. If you go in there being like, it was about to be some shit, you're prepared and that's all you need. If you go in there being like, oh, it's a Dynan Sinema, and then you get some other shit, you'll be like, no one took our tickets. Like if that Bridgerton ball in Detroit, anyone could have just walked in here. It is the Bridgerton ball of Dynan Sinema.

Like it's technically not a scam. They give you everything to the letter they said they would give you. Right, right, right. But the spirit is very much not there. But you were operating on a different, you knew what the assumption would be and it was a little bit different. Anyway, you can find, oh, a thing I like, I've just been watching, look, I don't know anything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe aside from everything I absorb sort of ambiently

and I started watching WandaVision because I wanted to watch the Agatha All Along show. Most people were like you should watch WandaVision if you even want to even make because I was like I want to see Catherine Hawn and this other thing and I didn't I'm like so confused watching WandaVision but it's fucking tight. I'm like wait isn't that the girl I saw her in the Captain Marvel movie and I'm like I'm doing the thing where people't that the girl? I saw her in the Captain Marvel movie and I'm like, I'm doing the thing where people are like, yeah, it's the cinematic universe dummy. But hey, listeners, if there's other things I should be aware of that make it make more sense, I'm all ears because I liked, first I was like, this is kind of cool.

This genre bendy thing. And then it became more of a mystery show, which I'm also liking.
