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.

Season 363 episode 4 of Dirt-Ali's Ike Iced. Remember this? Yeah! That was the Dean screech.
Dirt-Ali's Ike Iced. People always know that. That was when someone, that was disqualifying.
Wait, what's crazy is I actually just pulled that up to have as a sound clip because I miss that.
The Dean's Scream, I feel like that's actually something that we're missing in politics now.
It's a rally cry.
It was like when the mainstream media had the power to cancel someone on a win.
Just be like, your campaign is over asshole, because we got a funny little clip of you
sounding wild.
Yeah, yeah.
No more mainstream media.
Looks like everybody stopped listening to you.
And it's funny.
It was also because he was for a single payer healthcare system.
Oh yeah, that's why they decided to get him the fuck out of there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, sorry.
Go on.
It's a production of iHeartRadio.
It is Thursday, November 7th, 2024 miles.
I can't wait to find out what the national, international days are today.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I feel so fucking stupid saying these right now,
given everything that's going on,
but it is National Retinol Day.
So shout out this fucking skincare.
Okay, yeah.
It's also, these days fucking suck, dude.
The other one's National Bitter Sweet Chocolate

Huh? National canine
lymphoma awareness day? Yeah man, that's what I'm aware of today, mainly. And also yeah
National men make dinner day. Wow. Hey, you've earned it fellas. Go out there and you
know spend all your political capital
God man people who like dark chocolate are so proud of that fact. It's like such a weird political cause
There's wow. I actually like my chocolate to taste bad I like I like Hershey's special dark cuz that's the yeah closest I'll get like real dark chocolate
I'm like, too bitter.
I like my candy to be so sweet.
What's up?
What's happening with the Hershey's one?
Yeah, yeah, that's the special dark special dark.
I'm OK with but like if you go to Trader Joe's or some shit
and like they're like dark chocolate stuff, they're stuff.
I'm like, it's a little too bitter for me.
Anyway, I just like I'm baby.
So I like a little melt in your mouth, milk chocolate.
And when people are like, you're a chocolate lover?
I'm like, yes.
Oh, so you like like bittersweet dark chocolate with no sugar in it
that like makes you have a, makes your face contort?
I'm like, no, they're like, oh, then you don't really like chocolate.
And you don't fuck with chocolate, do you?
Is it because they're supposed to be like more of a flavor profile with your
dark chocolate? And it's like, yeah, like the finer things.
And you're like, probably. It's like, it's good.
It's like for wine. I'm drinking smirnoff ice.
Bro, exactly. That is the equivalent of my taste in chocolate is the tannins.
Yeah. To wine experts.
I prefer smirnoff ice. Yeah.
Wine experts. I prefer Smirnoff Ice.
Yeah.
Anyways, my name's Jack O'Brien, AKA, I'm not going to do an AKA.
I do just want to shout out all the folks in the Zeit gang who still brought it this morning.
Just workmen showed up for work, Halcyon salad, dropping a banger in there. I just, I don't have it in me to do a super
califragilistic ex be alladocious, AKA about
we'll get to it.
The Trump existential crisis.
I think I will.
I just don't have a song in my heart this morning,
but I do want to just shout out as like gang who were like,
you know, writing through the pain.
I love you guys. Johnny pain. I love you guys.
Johnny Davis.
I appreciate you guys.
Johnny Davis.
Lockeronia.
All y'all appreciate it.
Less than zero.
Thank you all.
Um, I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my cohost, Mr.
Miles Gray.
Oh, you think Jack doesn't have the energy?
Well, anyway, I have even less.
Anyway, we're still recording this right after the election.
So we're still reeling a bit.
But we had to get on mic.
It's Wednesday morning.
Yeah, we still have to get on mic because I feel like the only way to really,
for me at least personally,
to have a reckoning with the reality is to talk about it as much as I feel like the only way to really, for me, at least personally, to kind of have a just reckoning with the reality is to talk about it as much as I was just
kind of like, maybe I'll just fucking scroll the internet and shit for no, no.
Doing that.
But I can't.
I'm I'm yeah, I'm putting it down, but anyway, it's great to be here.
It's a miles gray.
I still am the Shogun with no gun.
You are.
Anchor Shim.
Yeah.
They can't take from you.
If I have no guns, can't take them from me.
That's exactly right.
That's called 4D chess, baby.
They're gonna come, that's gonna be one of their,
the weird arms of this new fascism.
They're gonna force guns into our hands.
Where's your gun?
I don't got one.
You better get one, you're gonna be in trouble.
Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny comedian and writer.
Yes.
With his debut album, You Must Go Check Out.
It's accurately called Certified Delight.
Please welcome Rachel Friedland.
Rachel.
Wow.
Wow.
Hey, guys.
The first time guests still showed up, despite what this morning is.
No wind in the sails for people.
And I picked this.
I got a slew of dates and I said, you know what sounds really good to me?
Give me that one.
About the day after the election.
Just to see what happens, huh?
Let's just really get to know each other in a deep and meaningful way.
Truly, truly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where did you grow up, Rachel?
I grew up in Long Beach, California.
Oh, LBC. OK, love to hear that.
Y'all heard of it?
Yeah, I have. My dad taught at Cal State Long Beach for a little bit.
Oh, nice. That's my alma mater.
Oh, shit. OK, 49ers, what's up?
Yeah, yeah.
No, I really stayed in Long Beach a long time, but it's a, it's a great city.
I love it.
I feel like as I get older in LA, more and more people learn about it and they're
like, actually Long Beach is kind of cool.
And I'm like, don't infiltrate my hometown.
And then people are like, have you tried to park in Long Beach?
It's really hard in some places.
And you're like, yeah, it's like, well, we are still LA County.
Thank you so much.
That is the one similar trait.
Right.
Shout out to Super producer Victor also from Long Beach.
Shout out Victor.
Having moved out here as an adult.
Wait, did you go to Long Beach or you're from Long Beach?
Victor, speak up.
Oh, he said me too.
I didn't know.
I thought you were from Cal State Long Beach, baby.
Cal State Long Beach.
But you're not from Long Beach, right, Victor?
No, I'm from Long Beach. That's what Long Beach. Yeah. Yeah. But you're not from Long Beach, right, Victor?
No, I'm from Long Beach.
That's what I thought. Okay.
Okay.
See, see, I let people know.
We've got to keep them.
Got to keep, got to keep it.
Man.
I thought Long Beach would be such a, like I would be there all the time
based on nothing but a G thing.
Compton and Long Beach together.
I mean,
your first week in California, you're like,
I'm gonna go to Compton and Long Beach
and see what's going on.
Together?
Yeah.
Sounds like a beautiful mixture, like gin and juice.
Another thing that I partook in much less as a grownup
than I thought I would.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, did you at all?
Did you ever dabble?
Were you like, let me see what this is all about?
I had a bad experience with, are we at all? Did you ever dabble? Were you like, let me see what this is all about.
Bad experience with, are we talking about gin and juice or Long Beach?
We're talking about gin and juice first. Long Beach can.
I had a bad experience with gin as like a 16 year old, where I just drank a warm gin
for a whole night and like was very sick for a whole week and then never really.
A week?
Yeah, man.
I was like alcohol poisoned.
Oh no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was, me and alcohol did not go well together.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm glad you parted ways.
Yes, me too.
Yeah, I hate, I just also, I hate Jen.
The first time I was like, yeah, look, give me that tango ray.
And I was like, pfft.
Also, shout out what a great brand, Tankerade.
That is so like, that puts you right in our age group of like,
yeah, we're singing about Tankerade.
We're dancing about Tankerade.
Yeah. Like how many ads do I have imprinted in my brain of like watching?
Pulled up with a gang of Tankerade, right?
You know what I mean?
It also blew my mind.
I was like, it's not with a G.
That's a Q.
Oh, shit.
Everybody was like, language is kind of crazy, dude.
Yeah, yeah.
Why is that?
Because Q is the classy version of G, you know?
Right.
It's like a real classy S.
I thought Tang Array was like a cocktail with like Tang.
Yeah.
It does have, I mean, the marketing,
I once read a magazine article about like the marketing
guy behind Grey Goose, and he was also the marketing guy behind, what's the thing that the digestif that everybody takes shots of?
Like Amaro?
Fernet?
Yeah, Fernet?
No, no.
Amaro?
Even a long time ago, the green one.
Oh, Aquavit?
No, no, no.
The German one with the deer on it.
Jägermeister.
Jägermeister. Yeah. Like this person was just like made both of those huge.
And like, I feel, I feel like the, the smartest brains in America in the
late 20th century were just going into marketing like, like naming
Tangeray and you know, like,
Cause weren't they like, it's fine French wheat or something with
Grey Goose to set it apart. And you're like, Oh shit. Yeah. Well, God damn's fine French wheat or something with Grey Goose to set it apart and you're like, oh shit.
Yeah. Well, goddamn.
Fine French wheat.
Vodka in a wine bottle.
Don't mind if I do.
Yeah, with the cork.
All right. Well, Rachel,
we do really appreciate you showing up to record with us today.
It's been lovely getting to meet you.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, some of the things we're talking about. We'll just look at the overall, like some of the metrics that we're looking at.
That, yeah, just a couple of very basic ones.
Also Google searches that show us just where the electorate was at in the day
leading up to the election, we will peer through the bullshit to try to strain and find a
couple of bits of good news.
And, uh, just like an overall, our writer, JM actually watched
like TV election results coming in.
You didn't watch them?
I didn't watch it on TV.
No, man.
Oh, God. Oh God.
I quit.
I fucking, I killed my brain watching channel.
It sounds like it was a real.
Dude, the fucking daily show thing was so hard to fucking watch.
I didn't.
I went to a bar last night.
It wasn't super crowded.
They were also still doing trivia, which I said, love the commitment.
Love the commitment to Tuesday trivia night, which is beautiful and was kind of a nice distraction to be like,
we're playing trivia, but also the elections happening.
It was so quiet in there, I'm assuming because people learned from 2016 to be like, we're staying home.
We're doing this in private now. We're not publicly.
There's a bar by me that was like, yeah, we're not doing anything. Cause we don't want to associate whatever happens tonight with our bar in case it
goes south.
And I was like, that's a very, okay, good, good, good.
Yeah.
Don't let this be the scene of absolute disappointment.
I know, I know somebody who like was like having a viewing party and I'm just like,
Oh, y'all know, I couldn't even, first of all, before everything went to shit, I
couldn't even look at food
because I was too nervous.
And then once it started going to shit, I was very glad I hadn't even thought about
food because I would not have, yeah, it was bad.
But like to just be there doing like, you know, hors d'oeuvres in front of other people. Yeah.
Just like choking them down to seem like a good sport.
Yeah.
Cuging up a deviled egg.
Yeah.
I'm so glad I could be in community.
Because I'd swallowed it whole like an aspirin because I forgot to chew it.
Anyways, all of that, plenty more, maybe none of it.
I don't know. We'll see what we have the stamina to do.
But before we get to that.
Yeah, it's an outlawed therapy session.
Yeah.
For three funny people who are trying to be like, what, can we laugh?
Give us a week.
I don't know.
You know, good.
I said, psilocybin might take me to the next plane of existence, I think, for a little
bit.
I need to, I need something.
I need something.
Yeah, get out in nature. Touch grass. I'm going to ride my bike so fucking hard. Yeah.
Yeah. Before we get to the news, Rachel, we do like to get to know our guests a little bit
better by asking them, what is something from your search history?
Okay.
So something about me is that I'm a bit of a freaky nerd hate to say it, but I always love to Google a little something and I will like currently I have 63 tabs
open on my phone.
I just hear a word and I go, let me search that really quick because I will
come back and learn so much about this do I know?
Have some of these been open since 2019 yes
118 tabs open
Okay, I don't like to learn as much as you guys got no no I'm just
So stupid I'm bad at following through on shit like cleaning up my tabs. I've got a 96ers magic game from last season still open on my tabs.
Like that's, that's, that's, that could be a, this could be a new, uh, like
segment where we're like oldest tab on your phone that you have open.
Cause my oldest one, what is this?
Hush puppies alternative.
I can't imagine what the fuck I was thinking like four years ago.
Yeah, mine was something about Trump visiting a black church.
Damn, I've opened 118 tabs since fucking June.
OK, anyway, I need to sort it out.
Sorry to make this all about us, Rachel.
This is good.
It's a good jumping off point.
And I also get to learn about the both of you
through your hundreds of tabs.
Okay.
So wait, so what were you, so what were you
looking up?
Okay.
So like the first thing that I have, the first
tab that I have open is a movie called I
Remember Mama that my grandma always told me
to watch.
It's like, it's some old movie that she was
like, I love this movie. It reminds me of my mom. You have to, she would just tell me I have to watch a bunch of movies. I's like, it's some old movie that she was like, I love this movie. It reminds you
of my mom. You have to, she would just tell me I have to watch a bunch of movies. I was like,
okay. I also have a hard time remembering things. So opening a new tab is a great way for me to
remember things when I then remember that I have them open and have them look. I wanted to learn
more about Catherine the Great because I was watching the great on Hulu, which was, is an
excellent show. And I said, I want to learn more about this broad.
Got a tab open about-
Pretty cool, right?
Very cool, very interesting, very progressive,
very horny, very horny lady.
Very horny, progressive woman leader.
Yeah, and I like that about her,
and I think we need more of that.
I have a really smart friend who's a philosopher of physics,
who one time dropped the phrase, law of non-contradiction.
And I said, uh-oh, sounds like something I should also know.
So I can start saying the law of non-contradiction
around people and sound very smart.
Every time I read the first paragraph of the Wiki entry,
I'm like, we're already, I'm already lost.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like you're going to sleep routine now.
Kind of, yeah.
There you go.
I'm like, today is the day I will understand it.
And then I don't, but I keep it open because I go,
one day you will understand.
I believe in myself.
You know, one day I will understand.
And, oh, God, what else do we have?
I believe in a thing called the law of non-contradiction.
I was going to say, a lot of songs I want to remember or like lyrics I hear where I go,
how do I get that song?
Yeah.
Those are, I mean, you've nailed it.
I feel like I know you.
Thank you so much.
The last thing I looked up was the Watts uprising because I watched love and mercy
and then went on a deep dive about learning about the beach boys and then went on a
different deep dive about learning about Charles Manson and somehow the Watts
rides came up in between all that.
And I said, something I should know more about is love and mercy.
Good.
It was good.
Yeah.
I liked it a lot.
Paul Dano.
Great.
Was the wait, cause what was, what was Manson's deal with the Beach Boys?
Weren't they- didn't they cross paths, right?
Yeah. He globed on to Dennis Wilson,
the drummer, and was like- he was just trying to get to a record deal.
And so through the free love movement and Dennis Wilson,
letting a bunch of the Manson family live in his house to the point where he was like,
actually, guys, I'm selling my house.
So you have to move out. Like he wouldn't kick them out.
He was like, I'm actually moving. So you got to go.
Oh, did that move?
He's like, I don't know how to talk directly to them like, dude, I don't know.
Like the house got sold. I guess you guys got to go. Truly. It's like my I don't know how to talk directly to them. Like, dude, I don't know, like the house got sold. I guess you guys got a goal.
Truly, it's like my mom came home.
She's so mad that you guys are here.
You have to leave.
Oh my God, my parents are coming home.
Everybody out the window.
Everybody out, Manson out.
Murder family out, out, out.
He also like fed them, kept them housed,
and then was also paying for all of their medical bills
because there was a bunch of venereal disease going around
because you know they were flogging and sucking.
Yeah. And. Okay.
And so, yeah, that's how they got connected.
I love that.
Yeah.
I love that.
He went to the house where Sharon Tate was because he had been there before when a record
producer was there.
Yes.
And like that's, he was just a guy with a song and a dream.
And some crazy race war ideas. Yeah. He was just a guy with a song and a dream. Dreaming a song in his heart.
And some crazy race war ideas.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was nuts.
Yeah.
But yeah, he, you know, he would, he stopped at nothing for fame.
Yeah.
The songs are bad, by the way.
No.
They're spooky.
Yeah.
They're, they're spooky because they have that like Beach Boys reverb thing going on
Yeah, but it just feels like honestly sounds like a nightmare. Yeah. Yeah, it's like if I mean if the beach
What if the Beach Boys had started a murder cold? I guess their music would also be spooky. Yeah, I should have a bang though
They were they were doing that wall of sound situation
I did I remember dating someone who earnestly would listen to that Manson shit.
And I was like, Oh, tell us more about that.
She was cool.
She was cool.
I don't know.
I was like, Oh, wow.
You listen to all kinds of music.
Have you ever Charles Manson?
Yeah.
And I was like, what?
And that's like that was when I first got put onto it.
And I heard I was like, yo, this is fucking weird.
I don't know.
There's that band Colts in the thoughts that were like pretty good. And they had like that same sort of jangly reverb heavy sound and like their
whole aesthetic was like, we're people in a cult and we sing about songs
that people in a cult would sing about.
Yeah.
That lasted for like a couple of singles.
You would think that would be like a total maybe grayish flag or reddish flag maybe,
but very sweet person, very empathetic.
In the beginning, I was like,
oh my God, this motherfucker is going to kill me.
Now they're like, they're working in. They're working healthcare with like unfortunate people.
I'm like, okay, cool.
He's just got a lot of texture to your musical taste.
Texture is a beautiful adjective to use.
That's very- Yeah, nice euphemism
to be the weird ass shit.
Very kind.
Someone, a video I watched recently,
if y'all or any of your followers are into like
an educational deep dive video,
which that is a lot of my YouTube watch history. Sean Munger, M-U-N-G-E-R on YouTube, he does like three
hour, there are three hour videos fellas, but they're so good. They're very educational.
He does everything from like a geographic perspective. So like he'll tell a story and
kind of drop you into Google Earth places and show you how the story unfolds through that as like visuals.
It's very interesting.
So I watched his like Charles Manson mini doc, I'll call it.
And he told the story through the geography of the Manson family, which was really neat.
That sounds really cool.
Is it a mini doc because the screen is small or is it three hours long?
It's two and a half hours long.
Okay.
So I guess it's not a mini doc. It's a maxi doc. It's mini screen maxi time.
There it is. Right. Right. Right.
Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about your overrated and underrated. We'll be right back.
Chelsea Handler here. Ah, dear Chelsea. We'll be right back. What is going on with your legs that they need washing? It's your body. You wash your body, Chelsea. Your entire body.
You don't pick and choose.
I have hot spots.
This is a more serious.
There's harassment coming from one of us to the other person.
You to me.
Yeah, usually.
That's true.
I'm not going to lie.
And you take the abuse very well.
You almost seem to enjoy it.
Well, yeah.
I mean, I've just grown accustomed to it.
Right.
OK.
That's what I wanted to say.
That's what it is.

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.
OK, here it is of smash or pass.
Okay, 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!
Because we're doing the pull out message.
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. And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure
a secret from everyone?
And what if your past itself was a secret,
and the time had suddenly come
to share that past with your child?
These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions
we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets.
Some of you have been with us since season one,
and others are just tuning in.
Whatever the case, and wherever you are,
thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family,
where every week we explore the secrets
that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others,
and the secrets we keep from ourselves.
Listen to season 11 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
We're back.
Rachel, we also like to ask our guests,
what's something you think is underrated?
Well, honestly, in my heart,
the first thing I wanted to say was drag.
Drag is art, which
I don't know that it's underrated really because it's in pop culture in such a significant
way. And yet I still think there's not enough respect for drag as an art. So that's honestly
my answer.
Yeah. Everyone should watch Paris is Burning. You know?
Yeah. Everyone should watch Paris is Burning. Everyone should watch Paris is Burning.
I also brought so many videos of my favorite drag queen moments to share as
stuff that I will constantly reference in conversation and be like,
well, no one knows what I'm talking about,
so I have to go show you this video to get the context.
That's what most of your tabs are that are open.
Yeah. Let me reference this here. Yeah, right. Get the context. That's what most of your tabs are that are open. Yeah.
Let me reference this to you.
Yeah, honestly.
If you'll please look at exhibit A, you'll understand the reference I just made in our
conversation.
I think a runner-up though for underrated is mini tongs.
Mini tongs.
Oh, yeah.
Like mini kitchen tongs.
The little ones.
You don't need the long tongs.
Sometimes you just need the mini.
What do you use the mini tongs for?
I'm curious. Thank you just need the mini. What do you use the mini tongs for? I'm curious.
Thank you for asking.
If you have just a potato, a hash brown, right?
That you're cooking in your oven
and you wanna flip that thing.
We're getting the size of like a McDonald's hash brown.
You just get the mini tong
because then you're not dealing with a whole spatula
in the oven, that's wild and loose.
You know, but a mini tong. Yeah, and then you can use it with a whole spatula in the oven. That's wild and loose, you know
Yeah, and then you can use it if you have a piece of toast that it's like lodged in your toaster Don't put your knife in there, please. Don't put in yeah, don't put metal in there
Little plastic rubber
I'm trying to think of like how many we're going here
Piece of plastic or does it have a so there's your I feel like your typical tongs are maybe Like 11 inches 12 inches long. Yeah, we're talking like
Set this okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think yeah, I think I know what you're talking about
And they could they could be just a regular piece
Look in his eyes, he knows yeah Yeah, yeah. He's not bored.
Oh yeah, many, many tongs, yep.
He just asked for three whiskies like this.
With my thumb?
Yeah.
No, not with your thumb.
That's how you're supposed to know him.
Yeah, and you glorious bastards.
Yeah, we have like multiple sides of tongs,
and I have found myself using the ones for the outdoor
grill.
They're like super long, like to avoid having your eyelashes and eyebrows cinched off.
Like around the kitchen because I, you know, I don't know where I left that thing.
You're like making eggs for your kids.
You're like, I'm gonna need my tongs, dad.
It just stands.
I'm gonna need to move this piece of furniture to use this, but we're going to...
I love that it's like your own grabber.
Yeah.
I can't get the plate.
I'll just use the tongs to get the plate.
Yeah.
Everything's with that tong.
If you had to create a thing that permanently became a tool that you could use on your body. Like what tool would you use?
What do you mean a tool?
Like it, you know, like-
Incorporated as part of your physiology.
Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know-
A lighter?
For arm.
A lighter would be-
Oh yeah.
Lighter's a great answer.
Yeah.
A lighter is a really good answer.
Because you could, that's like, you can, you can help out and you can be like,
yo, I can burn this mother down right now.
I have to, like don't fuck with me.
Yeah. If I brush up against a piece of furniture weird.
Bye.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So don't fuck with me.
That's what I was like.
A knife is too crazy because depending on where the appendage is, that's like you're hurting
people.
You're ripping through stuff.
I would say, I mean, a tong would be great because that's an extra arm.
That's an extra appendage.
That's true. Yeah. Yeah. great because that's an extra arm. That's an extra appendage. That's true, yeah.
And like it's heat resistant too.
I think we all learned scissor hands are pretty inconvenient.
Right.
Although, you know, if you get really good with those,
that could be cool.
Yeah, unless you wanna be a fierce hairstylist.
Right.
That would be great.
You would blow up on TikTok.
You know, that would be a sick thing.
Oh my God, yeah, absolutely.
Any of the shit he did, like, whether it's like
hedge trimming or fucking hairstyles,
if you pulled up with your fucking scissor fingers, people been like,
this is and this is the person I get my political takes from.
And I'm glad I'm on the right side of history.
Yeah. What what's something he thinks over it?
I think. I think food content creators.
I've had a real beef with food content creators. I've had a real beef with food content creators.
Do you guys follow food content creators as
a part of your day-to-day viewing?
I don't follow them,
but the content is served to me via algorithm a lot on TikTok or Instagram,
because I like cooking.
I couldn't name specific influencers in terms like the people that do the cooking. Yeah, I mean, I do see those sort of like viral recipes or like when people are claiming to invent a new thing that like people from another country have been doing for like millennia.
or whatever, I can respect. But people who specifically review food
or restaurant reviewers, I would say, they...
Oh, like that. Got it.
That, yeah.
I guess not necessarily food content creators in general,
but specifically people who are like,
today I'm gonna go review this.
And then they go review the restaurant,
they show you the food, they take a bite,
and they go, wow, it's really good.
I can go do that.
That's crazy. Not a single adjective in sight. You're not going to tell me
anything about what this food is, where it's coming from, who's making it, who's the shit.
Like zero research just going, today I'm going to go try this coffee shop. And they take a sip of
the matcha and they go, wow, that's nice. Yeah. And that's, it's, I need more from y'all. I need
you to step your pussies up as it were.
Just give us, give me one more word than good.
Please one more word. So bomb.
So dank.
Dang.
It's true.
So dank.
It gets an official dang dude.
It's the kind of people who would go like, oh, the matcha tastes like matcha.
And you're like, well, yeah.
What's that telling me?
It's more like matcha-ness.
Yeah. Or you just see people. This yeah, what's that telling me? It's more like matcha-ness. Yeah.
Or you just see people...
Kafka-esque talking about metamorphosis.
Who wrote that? I don't know, man.
But you see it too, like when people always do like the cheese
spread, like the threading of melted cheese, you know, like,
this reminds me of one where someone's like, okay, like, look
at this, we're at the spot, they're known for their grilled
cheese. Wow, look at that, look at that.
And then they eat it and they're like, yeah, cheesy.
Okay, what else?
Is the bread buttery?
Is it perfectly toasted?
Yeah, is the cheese sharp?
Yeah.
Is it neutral?
Like cheese is a world of,
we were talking about flavor profiles earlier, right,
of chocolate.
I'm like, cheese has the same wide range
of vocabulary that we can use
to describe it. And I love cheese. So I want to know more about it other than
like the cheese exists on the bread.
Yeah. And it is it is I think it's basically at it's so grilled to very
like grilled. It's like been exposed to like a lot of heat. So it's like kind of
more like gooey than like hard cheese
So yeah, I would say gooey too. Yeah. Anyway, step it up
Yeah
You Bourdain fan is that like the level we're looking for Jonathan Gold?
Not even because that's something that I don't need everyone. Yeah
Not even because that's something that I don't need everyone.
Yeah, right.
That level. But I just need more than it was good.
If you're going to brand yourself as a food reviewer, I need more than this was good or this was bad because I can go do that. And I do like to go do that.
So I don't need you're not providing me a service if you're going to provide me a service.
One more word about it.
Yeah. Or you just like it's good, but like not as good as the pictures looked the way I thought.
I'm like, great. Great. Yeah, yeah.
We've sort of level-set here.
I love bomb and dank as like level-set.
Dude, that was California, baby. That's all we were saying.
That was California food reviews.
Damn, it's like, it's really bomb actually.
Dude, this shit is dank, dude.
But that's actually below deck
Depends dank, you know that all day question mark. Yeah, dank depends if like weed is involved or not
Yeah, right, right. Right. Yeah, like anyone who said food was dank
98% chance they were a weed smoker too and then like the 2% that did it, like, what the fuck you don't call me thankful. Did you guys both grow up in California?
I grew up in LA. Yeah, I grew up in the valley.
I grew up all over the place, but never in California.
Okay. That was such a I always ask people who like grew up at least in California or especially in Southern California, because in high school, like bomb and dank were such part of the vernacular of like bomb, dank, bust a mission.
Yeah.
Oh, you bust a mish dude.
A fucking mish.
Dude, it was a mish.
Hell yeah.
You guys could be making this up to get me to agree to it and then be like, bye!
No, no, no.
You said bust a mish.
No, bust a mish dude.
Oh, I really go on a fucking mish, fool.
Yeah.
Did you ever recall like, instead of saying that people were hot, like girls
were hot, they were breezy.
No, no.
This is the one thing.
Yeah.
Was that a long beach thing?
I guess I'm trying to figure out if it was a long beach thing, but it was like, she's breezy.
Yeah.
Well, it could be AIDS because like I'm 40.
So I'm, I don't know.
If I just went, I know I'm a man.
You met her.
I'll be 34 in December.
So it's like, I guess a couple.
I feel like, yeah, I may have high school.
I may have just missed the breezy movement.
When you were just BOMB and DANK are still in there.
I feel like I'm a dank or timeless.
Yeah, exactly. I would say.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, like we would also, what else did we say?
What else did we say back then?
I like Breezy as a...
We would call it making out, scamming.
Like, yo, they were scamming.
Oh wait, and...
Scamming?
Yeah.
Scamming.
Yeah, scamming, like making out was called scamming.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought scamming, I was like, what a weird robotic way to...
Yo, we scammed.
Yeah, I am scamming.
Sex, at one point, I remember everyone was saying tax.
We taxed.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
That really, to my ears, sounds like some shit that would...
Have you ever watched the movie Juno?
Uh-huh.
And the way they talk, everyone's like,
nobody fucking talks like that. It's like, yes, no, actually, they did, everyone's like, nobody fucking talks like that.
It's like, yes, no, actually, they did for like a year probably when Diablo Cody was
in high school, you know?
And like that's everybody else's high school slang sounds completely made up and fabricated.
Yeah, tax.
Yeah, we would just say hit, you know, smash, you know, the typical one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Taxed. Yeah.
We would just say hit, you know, smash, you know, the typical ones.
Oh yeah.
Smash dude.
No way.
Smoshing this.
And also we used to say even I remember early on, like early high school, we would still
be like, they did it.
Honestly, we should bring that.
We should bring that back.
Yeah.
With project 2025, I'm sure that will be banned from using real descriptors.
So they did it.
Yeah.
No language, no porn.
Yeah.
Under his eye.
I can't wait.
Yeah.
Gonna be so fun.
Hey, speaking of that, just real quick thing on the election, because this is something
that is controversial at this moment, at least.
The question of, hey, what happened with election?
And with 99 percent of votes in,
Donald Trump has 71 million votes.
He's going to win the popular vote.
Staggering, depressing, horrifying number that is still behind
the 74 million he got when he lost as the incumbent in 2020.
I'm seeing there's this one map that a lot of people are liking to point to where
it's full of red arrows and it's saying, look, every America all moved to the right.
They moved so far to the right.
And people are evil because they're evil, everyone around you.
And so I think that's just important context.
That he actually got fewer votes this time around than he did last time.
It is just that the Democrats got far fewer votes than they did last time, far fewer.
Yeah, more than a rightward shift.
It feels like Democrat absolute just people took a Democrat crater.
Yeah.
So it's also the answer to like, how can you think the Democrats
problem was running far too far to the right?
And I think that that's your answer.
They didn't do anything to turn out Democrats, which tends to be one of,
one of their strategic shortcomings.
But they did convince like 45 people that it was worth, you know, Republicans, it was
worth voting for Kamala because of the-
Statistically negligible.
The dad and daughter Cheney show that was trouncing around towards the home stretch.
Yeah, yeah.
They actually got fewer Republican voters than they did last time.
But yeah, so I don't know that I think that's just relevant context because the
Democratic strategist class is going to come in and be like, America went so far
to the right, we just didn't go right hard enough. Right. Exactly. And like what we did, what we said was the right answer.
It's just that you didn't listen to us enough.
We should have gone, I don't know, I don't know how they could have
gone further to the right.
They had Dick Cheney.
Like, how the fuck could you have possibly done, done that harder?
But, uh, I feel like the only difference between like Kamala and Trump, How the fuck could you have possibly done that harder?
I feel like the only difference between like Kamala and Trump, this is, we're being hyperbolic here, but is that like Kamala would end her sentences with slay.
Where I'm like, y'all have the exact same platform, but luckily Charlie
XAX called her brat, so it made it like somewhat palatable to young progressive voters.
Yeah.
I think the biggest difference would have been, it would have been a much slower
de-evolution towards whatever Trump is going to bring, I think is the biggest
difference and Trump is just an absolute accelerant.
But I think if anything, the biggest fear with Biden was he was saying, I am the bridge.
I am merely the bridge to a new way of doing things.
And like we got on that bridge and like he crossed it.
And you're like, wait, hold on.
Yo, this shit is wobbly as fuck.
Is this a trick?
Wait, hold on.
Is this a trick bridge?
Cause I crossed it and I'm on the other, I'm on the side I just came from.
Hold on, let me go back.
It's like an Escher drawing of like a bridge.
You know what I mean?
Like what fucking bridge is this?
Yeah. Yeah.
So, I mean, you know, there's still there's also a lot of people being like, there's so
much there's still votes missing.
And like, yeah, there are certain places where all the votes have not been tabulated yet,
but they're in states that have already been decided.
Like, it makes me so sad.
Like part of me was like, because I did not know fans did not have hope that Kamala was
going to win this.
Like, for a long time, I've been like like this is Trump is going to win this again just like
Statistically speaking and also like if we think about who's if we think about donators right to the Republican Party to the Democratic Party
It was leaning more Republican the entire time. So it's like yeah when all the billionaires I'm like, how'd y'all know?
Yeah, yeah when when when blackRock is dumping money into the Republican candidates, yeah.
I think so.
But like, part of me was like, man,
the next week is gonna be crazy
for like blue and on conspiracy theory of like,
they're not done counting the votes.
And it's like, guys, we gotta.
I'm sorry.
Like you can hang on to this version,
but I'm sort of like,
I think we've seen the sort of the full predictable end of how establishment democratic party politics is going to work.
And this is it.
I will just say all of these are placeholder takes until Mueller, she wrote, hasn't really weighed in quite yet.
And so I'm just waiting to see where we come down on that one.
Yeah, we'll see.
Yeah. That's always my... But I mean, I think the other thing too is like aside from our people moving to the right,
I also just based on again, the kinds of voters that have emerged in this specific electorate,
it feels that there are so many people who are just absolutely completely disconnected from politics.
And I think to couple that with also just the systematic dismantling we've seen of public
education over the last few decades leads us to a place where like, yeah, we have millions of people
in this country too, who just kind of check headlines, maybe see what's popping
on social media, not like digging deeper. And so when you're presented with a binary of the status
quo in terms of what you've known for the last few years, and the other form of the status quo,
people are saying, well, I think that one's different. So maybe that is the case. But I mean,
yeah, that but we're, I mean, a lot of these people, I mean, everyone, unfortunately, is going to bear the brunt of all of this. But like, I think there's there's just so much I already see people like, what the fuck is wrong with all these people? And it's like, man, there, this problem is so much bigger than like, who campaigned on what it's like, the the the conditions that have been created in this country sort of have created an electorate
like this, which are going to be susceptible to like disengagement, misinformation and
the like.
So, I don't know.
Yeah, the mainstream, like in case anyone was confused about like how little people
are paying attention to the mainstream media, it's been pointed out that Google searches
for did Joe Biden drop out were like spiking
in Pennsylvania in like the days leading up to the election.
I like one of my friends was door knocking over the weekend in Arizona and a person they
talked to was like, oh yeah, I meant to vote for them.
And he was like, what, what do you mean?
She's like, oh, it's over, isn't it? Like they didn't know that the election hadn't happened yet.
Like, I think a lot of people have just tuned the fuck out from everything.
You know, right.
So, which I think, yeah, that's what makes it even more infuriating when
then like the Harris campaigns plan is like, Oh, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, this
will break through to people when some people like, well, you think I don't
even know if Joe Biden is running.
Right.
You think I'm just saying like, Oh, Dick Cheney.
Yeah.
Job Bush's VP is with comp.
Oh, okay.
That's like, quite a broad tent miles.
I think that's for such a specific voter that only like this
consultant class knows that they're like, this is like, I'm
talking to people who are like also like, semi retired
millionaires, basically, and like, this could be a way to
speak to them. And again, rather than talking about like, just
meaningful shit, like, can you deliver on things that affect people's again
material existence um and this wasn't the case yeah also beginning on monday the term who is
running for president started trending so that's the people who are like oh my homework's due
tomorrow yeah hold on which that was me when i had homework. You know? Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know if like that homework sucks.
Yeah.
Yeah, turn other terms that are trending.
Is Trump a Republican?
Can I vote online?
Should be able to, by the way, that last one.
But yeah.
Yeah, that's just so.
I mean, because you don't search those things as like a bit.
You know what I mean?
That's not a journalist. No, that's like, am I pergant? Yeah. Hurry, hurry. Am I pergant? Yeah. Yes, you are pregnant.
Yeah. So I think like, that's why I just like, again, I mean, there's so much more data to comb
through. I'm personally not ready for that phase of talking about it because it's still trickling
in.
But we did know these things at the very least coming up.
Let's take a quick break.
We'll come back and we'll finish up with some more news.
We'll be right back.

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.
Okay, let's play this messy round of smash or pass.
Okay, 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!
Because we're doing the pullout method.
We're living on the edge.
Oh my God!
I was not expecting that.
Baby, like I always say,

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets.
How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even
say hello?
And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure
a secret from everyone?
And what if your past itself was a secret
and the time had suddenly come
to share that past with your child?
These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions
we'll be asking on our eleventh season of Family Secrets.
Some of you have been with us since season one
and others are just tuning in.
Whatever the case, and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family,
where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from
others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves.
Listen to season 11 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
We're back. And our writer, J.M., the lovely Canadian that he is was this morning straining as
hard as possible to find some hope here.
morning straining as hard as possible to find some hope here.
And so what we have is Mark Robinson lost in North Carolina.
I think we knew that was going to happen.
I don't know even then, right?
Oh yeah, I don't know. He's somehow Mr.
Porn guy, black Nazi one, but no, no, he lost.
He lost handily.
Yeah.
He lost by a lot.
Sarah McBride has become the first openly transgender
person elected to Congress.
All right, that's a win.
That's a win.
10 states had ballot measures to protect or expand abortion
access, and seven of them, the measure for abortion rights,
won, including in Missouri, as we talked about on yesterday's
trending episode, first state to completely ban abortion after the Supreme Court undid Roe.
And it now has become the first state to overturn the ban.
Yeah. But except, I mean, in Florida, it got close, but again, they had to reach a 60%
threshold and missed it by like a couple percentage points.
Which was, that was interesting because I have a friend who's from Florida and even she this morning was saying
that like, it was confusing the way they had to reach a certain threshold to
overturn it, but a different measure had to read a different percentage
threshold to be overturned.
Is that how that works?
I mean, they, totally.
That's totally how it works everywhere.
Yeah.
You have to have multiple thresholds for democracy to work,
and it has to be kind of randomized so that people stay on their toes.
You get the pick and mix. Yeah, exactly. A trail mix of thresholds.
Right, right, right. That's the labyrinthine. That's all you need.
But yeah, that one is very depressing because they had raised $100 million to reverse the
Florida near total ban on abortion and they came extremely close
But because of arbitrary like institutional power in Florida, they were able to say 57 not enough
Yeah for this version of democracy, which
sucks Florida was you know a place that a lot of people in the South, like in
Southern States were going to get reproductive health care before it was banned.
So, yeah, that is awful, but there are some small like footholds.
And again, we talked yesterday, uh, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar both won with
like over 70 percent of the vote in their respective elections.
Those scary beliefs and convictions they have,
the mainstream media tells us are incredibly unpopular,
turned out not to be incredibly unpopular.
So much like, like just basic again, stuff that helps people, like minimum wage,
those kinds of things did really well.
And then then they're like, ah, but maybe Trump for president.
And I think that's just that it's so revealing about like people can
connect the dots for that, like, oh, should I make more money?
Yes.
Um, but then when, but then again, when you have like all this slick campaigning stuff
that just kind of completely misses the mark of like connecting people to what you can
or can't do, I mean, in this case, like I, you know, even Kamala is like primary candidacy
wasn't quite as, you know, progressive, at least for my taste.
Yeah.
But even to see her shrink from that and just listen to whoever she inherited from the Biden
campaign to be like, let's fucking pretend you never even said stuff like single payer,
like universal healthcare. Let's just completely avoid that. Or just be really mum on like transgender people's, you know, right to have like
gender affirming, uh, like medical care.
Like just, just shut the fuck up about that.
Rather than criticize Trump for supporting gender affirming care for prisoners.
Truly.
That's what was so sort of fucked up, especially to watch like, you know, during
the world series, you get these weird Trump ads where it ads were just like Kamala's for the trans people.
And you're like, this is how you're setting up the stakes for people.
And that was so uncomfortable to fucking watch.
But yeah, I mean, now
that this work here now and we're here.
Yeah, it's again, it's just so fucking difficult.
This is still hasn't even 24 hours. No, like sitting with
this like reality. So again, like I apologize on the other
episode. I'm sorry if I'm not as articulate as I can because
I'm just kind of like trying to stave off just like being fully
like nihilistic about everything or like more so than normal.
Yeah, dude, did either of you watch the election results like on TV?
Rachel, did you watch on TV?
Yeah, I went to a bar to watch, so I was there.
I'm actually stunned, sorry, miles by the ads during the World Series.
And maybe it's because I'm not in the sports world,
but even if I tune in to watch the Super Bowl and there's ads for God, I'm always like, y'all believe
it in this? This is crazy. Like how, how, how cool that you're doing that. That's so
nuts. But it's like that, that is totally the, the number one fear mongering tactic,
right? It's like all your kids are going to be trans now. Yeah.
They're also going to go fight in Ukraine.
Right.
And we're fighting for you to feed them raw milk at home on your own educational system.
Right. Exactly. Exactly.
Yeah. Although Jesus was pretty breezy.
Yeah.
He is so breezy.
Yeah.
Breezy for this one.
I don't know if you met this breezy Jay-Z fella.

I don't know, maybe the vibes are okay there.
I don't know.
Maybe you can't see the people crying
through their costumes.
A tweet I've been enjoying was from at the film drunk who tweeted,
my friend got out of a Nora around the same time Trump won Pennsylvania.
And it's a screen cap of the tweet that says,
oh my God.
And they respond to go, I know.
And they say, a Nora was so good.
Wait, what?
I do hear good things about that movie from the filmmaker behind Florida Project and Tangerine.
Supposed to be a good one.
