Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 167, episode four of Der Daily Zeitgeist, a production of iHeartRadio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It is Thursday, January 14th, 2021. A cool six days until January 20th. It is looking as

though the president is going to make it to the end of his term because Moscow Mitch is not a... He doesn't want to have to go to work early. He doesn't want to work that hard, so he's going to wait until Biden is the president to allow the Senate to hear the president's second impeachment. That is what we're hearing as of right now. But it sounds like he might impeach him.

We'll get into all that. But first, let me tell you that my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. How many Bajas you have to blast before you pee like adventure golf? Drink too much, your heart explodes, because Baja's got to blast. Red, white, green, or blue. Shotgun, your Mountain Dew. Pepsi, Co. Oh, oh, oh.

If it's Baja Blast, hey, that's good too. That is courtesy of me, since we mentioned that artist yesterday. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! FBI came and caught me red-handed, breaking down the Capitol door. Picture this, we were all barefacedfaced stealing from the speaker's floor. How could I forget that I had streamed it all to IG? All this time we were standing by. They never took their eyes off me. Oh, my God.

Duke stormed the Capitol. Okay. I was just giving it the whole, just the Rick Rock part. Almost came with Shaggy. But thank you so much to Johnny Davis, the compulsive punster for that. It wasn't me. Inspired, AKA. That was beautiful.

Yeah. Also, that Kuro Kuro Bonito, AKA, was also inspired by the fact that there's new Baja Blast flavors coming. Wait, what? Yeah. by the fact that there's new Baja Blast flavors coming. Wait, what? Yeah, they're doing a Baja Flash and Baja and Melon Blast or something. Coming at us. We have to actually discuss this properly as a show, so I think we need to put space in that for the third act.

We'll get to it. Because I also want to hear our guests, too. I feel like this is something that can't just be one of those things we run wild off the top of the show. Yeah, this is important news. We are thrilled to be joined to have her hot takes on Baja Blast and possibly other things. She is the hilarious, the talented, the brilliant Danielle Radford! Hey, hey, hey!

Hi, hello, happy to be here. Very happy to talk about the blasts that Baja made. Yes. I didn't realize. I didn't think I was tagged in that news as much. What are the new flavors? Do we know? Everybody said, what is it?

Baja be thy blast. Yes. There was like that one tweet everybody was tagging us in. I got that about 30 times. That has become part of what people feel obligated to share with me. And I appreciate it. I like it every every time so shout out to y'all but there is a melon flavor and a pineapple flavor coming i believe let's see here baja punch and baja flash uh baja punch is fruit punch flavored baja flash is pineapple coconut and i'm assuming they'll have extra sugar and extra caffeine like a regular

baja blast okay do we like this co-opting of the baja name to introduce these other flavors do they feel i feel like baja blast like it doesn't need its own expanded universe of flavors like it's its own thing yeah uh it's it does seem like stolen valor a little bit where they're just trying to you know catch some glow off of oh you're oh you're baja blast what's your mos exactly that's for somebody really asking somebody served but um yeah i mean it's weird to me that they are dropping this before like they could make a huge event out of just making baja blast available places that aren't Taco Bell, uh,

like in stores. I mentioned that they had like the Baja blast zero, uh, that was in stores, but they didn't really drop the Baja classic on us. So it seems like a missed opportunity. I'm wondering if it has something to do with their agreement with Taco Bell, but I think you take the pineapple,

uh, you mix it with the coconut, i think you take the pineapple uh you mix it with the coconut you put it into caffeine and then you put that shit in costco where we can all just be getting messed up yeah god the dankest most hype pina coladas you've ever had yeah a little of that kirkland signature brand tequila do they they? Do they even offer that? Oh, yeah. There's Kirkland brand. There's Kirkland brand fucking insulin probably at this point. Sadly. I mean.

I mean. We are headed for that. Amazon is now going to be a healthcare company. Hey, Costco is where you can just a point of order. If you in most states, check your state. But in a lot of states, you don't have to have a Costco card to get your meds there. And generic meds are so much cheaper at Costco than they are in other places. Not your doctor,

just a person that takes medication. That's real. Check your state. But in a lot of states, yeah, if you go in and you say, I'm just going to the pharmacy, go to the pharmacy and you get the meds at a good, good price.

Generics. And you can, uh, at Walmart or Ralph's, you can say, I'm here to go to the pharmacy and they'll send you around back. And then you can get, not great deals,

but the doctors are really easy. Yeah. It might be the same dude that sent you back there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, well, hold on, give me a head start so I can put my lab coat on. It seems like I was looking back. Hold on it wait 10 seconds uh all right uh danielle we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about

uh we're gonna talk about just how the gop we're checking in with them uh how they're doing psychologically with this uh just drastic moment of cognitive dissonance we'll look at a symptom of that steve ducey how he's doing we will look at what the what the actual capital looks like right now it looks like a war zone we'll check in with the parlor story people are talking about how especially on the right they're acting like parlor is causing the uh hold on i don't know why the ghanaian pallbearer track just started blasting i was on uh sorry y'all you keep that i was like damn miles is hype for this i'm like yeah bro just so you know get the ghanaian pallbearer music out what the fuck that started playing off of?

I think I'm being something. I don't know. I mean, maybe we are playing the pallbearer music for Parler. Yeah. You know? Yeah. That was apropos. So yeah. Apropos Parler.

But they are being used as the martyr. They've been banned. It is First Amendment violations. And our writer, J.M., did some research and found that they really went under mostly because of incompetence and just being a bad business, a poorly executed website. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about Harry Styles and Jason Sudeikis they I'm curious Jason Sudeikis has challenged him to a duel and they're gonna be shooting at each other at dawn Bridgerton style yeah I finally finished Bridgerton you know talk about a show

all about pulling out and like being disrespectful with your nut yeah just like and just a a minute and a half like showing sex to completion of a minute and a half and then like pulling out it's like yo what is this it's violent pulling out yeah yeah he's like ah crushing your nut in your hand like it's like oh i never get this shit because i have daddy issues like okay pal um sweet but yeah i never thought a whole show would hinge on me being like once you're gonna nut in her like truly i was like this show is wild because i'm over here with her match like when is he gonna shoot up the club that is legitimately like the whole second half of the first season is and then like the resolution is like ah he did it

and that's how we know he no longer cares about his father what right you're like most motherfuckers out here hate their dads if this is the benchmark we're using. We'll also talk about the Lord of the Rings series on Amazon if we have time. Another series that is supposedly going to hinge mostly on pulling out. Before we get to any of that, Danielle, we'd like to ask guest uh to tell us something from their search history okay so let me pull this up the uh something from my search history it used to be why do my cats hate me and now it's why do my cats stare at me um so over the quarantine um mama was lonely and there were two little babies that needed a home and they're like these bonded twins um and i call them they're little ginger tabby babies uh they're dumb as fucking rocks and

they're just stupid but there's ripley and then there's hudson and obviously ripley is the smarter more brave one and hudson is a destructive little bastard um so they used to, they still do, but not as much anymore, like hide every time they saw me. And I was like, damn, like, am I that scary? And I was reading about it and they were like, if your cat is hiding from you, it's because you're loud and you're scary and you're huge.

And I'm like, well, damn, you ain't even met me. Stop being so on the nose. And so, but it's just like they've been through some stuff because they're fosters and I don't know what their history is but I'm assuming it's not great but they're warming up to me now so like this morning I woke up to two little orange heads like peeking

over my bed just fucking staring at me they're warming up it's just slow slowly by slowly just gotta be patient they're warming up they have a new slow slowly by slowly you're yeah just got to be patient they're warming up they have a new game where if i go to go feed them they'll follow me into the kitchen and see which one can get closer before they like and run away from me it's i mean that's kind of i was gonna say that that's uh kind of nice that they are showing you that

respect because a lot of i every time i read about cat behavior, it's always very like status based. And the things that cats do to me are always like they're doming me. They're like just like walking up to me and rubbing on me, which I'm told is them being like, I own this bitch. You guys can just everybody can walk off. Yeah, my old my scent is on this man now. I have two cats, too. I adopted a bonded pair of cats a few years ago. And it was kind of interesting.

Like, in the beginning, they were, like, not, they were always fucking with each other. Like, they were just always laying with each other. And, like, when I would try and pet them, they're like, okay, thank you, fool. Where's the food? Enough of that. And like when I would I would try and pet them, they're like, OK, thank you. Full words of food. Enough of that.

And it's not like I'm not joking till maybe three years later that I started seeing like, you know, the kind of shit that you see on Reddit. And you're like, how come my cats don't do that shit? Like try and sit on my desk or like, you know, interrupt me or like just jump on my lap. And it took three years for that to happen. uh it warmed my heart for that to finally come around and that was because you started killing birds and laying them before your cats right like the only thing that they respect yeah yeah 100 just a couple squirrels just laying out yeah and i mean i think i was a little off-putting because i i found a very cool like animatronic cat suit to wear, but I realized it was very intimidating. Well, okay, sure.

I paid Rick Baker's FX house for spare material. They had to make it myself. But yes, let's just say it's better to just come as you are and let them come to you on their own time, I guess. Yeah. It was interesting because the movie cats, people remarked on the lack of asshole but your cat suit is actually mostly asshole yeah it is like very very little cat

mostly cat asshole uh least miles asshole cut uh danielle what is something you think is underrated uh you know what um i know we're we're a couple weeks from christmas but you know what was really nice um receiving sheets and uh i got some sheets and i got uh some linens some uh towels and some washcloths and some socks and you know when you're a kid you're always like ah those are the worst as an adult i'm like that this fucking kick ass i need more sheets like i need them towels i can throw my other ones away or like uh use them as you cut them up and use them as like worst was an adult. I'm like that, this fucking kick ass sheets. Like I need them towels. I can throw my other ones away or like, uh, use them as you cut them up and use them as like rags and stuff. Like it was great. Um, so yeah, that's something that I think is underrated. I think

it's underrated when people give you the things that you actually need as opposed to the stuff that you want. Cause you know what you guys, I don't need any more pop figures. I know everyone knows that I like nerdy stuff. And the easy thing is to just send somebody like a pop figure or like a bobblehead. What I need are the things that adults have. Right. Please send me adult things. Please send me that. Books on financial literacy.

Anything. Yeah, but not prosperity gospel. That has been tried and failed upon me. Oh, you hate to see it uh you hate it i love to see it go that was pretty great i mean i hate to see somebody fall for it i mean yeah oh boy um but yeah so that that's my uh it just is so nice i have like new sheets now and they're so comfy and and yeah and do you do that thing where like you're a you know i've done the thing where my towels are like just beyond you like it's they should have been thrown away this is before her majesty and i lived together and i had just jank towels that i was bringing to the relationship

and she's like what is this and i'm like well these are my towels and then she's like don't you buy new ones and in my mind i'm i've i have these moments where i'm like on a website like you know what i need fucking towels man i don't care like it's stupid and then i'm like god damn they cost how the fuck that i don't need a fucking towel and that continues to the point i'm just using some just super thin rag and calling it a bath towel yeah yeah my mom uh saw my apartment in la one time and was like oh no, these are these are now all rags that you use. Right now, I send you nice. Well, because for a while, you know, she would send me that and be like, I don't need those things like I need clothes.

I need, you know, certificates so I can whatever. Look, I am in the house. Towels are way more important to me than dresses at this point. Absolutely. to me than dresses at this point absolutely that's like it's funny how being there just really makes like actually the things that you would have put off as like a thing you need to spend money on for your home as now is actually being the most important thing because there's no there's no going out yeah i'm like slippers i'm like maybe i'm gonna get slippers like good house shoes now and i've never looked back that's my next step i want slippers and i want a robe buddy yep oh i got two robes i have look i've fully invested in my body senses in this in this pandemic i have a now

i don't even use a towel when i get out the shower i just go straight to the terry cloth robe really that absorbed me and then get my other shit done i'm so dry i'm not like shivering and then i have like a nice you know fleece just warm robe to vibe in when I'm not. It's just, you know, you got to have context robes. I'm looking up terrycloth robes right now because that sounds luxurious. And look, and for people who are dabbling the robe market, if you're serious, get the full length shit. Don't get the shit that stops above your knees. Because when you have this shit that goes to your ankles, I'm talking full body coverage.

Yeah. that goes to your ankles you're i'm talking full body coverage yeah okay so just think as you've seen uh at some recordings mine go real high like i like it's like yeah hip huggers it's a crop top you keep saying you bring up a good point of like a cardinal sin of gift giving that uh i think a lot of people fall into is they take the one thing that they know about the person or like you know and just give them the first thing that occurs to them about that like for for me it's like he works in comedy and then they'll get like the first book in the comedy section or something like that or like you know i've done it with my nephews i've like gotten them a toy that they're like yeah dude that was like the first toy he bought when he got interested in dinosaurs or whatever.

Right, right, right. But yeah, like just get them something that you enjoy that you think they probably wouldn't know about is I think. Yeah, right. Especially if someone has like, you know, for Danielle, like you have an area of expertise. Yeah. has like you know for danielle like you have a area of expertise yeah i don't think someone's gonna from 10 000 feet be like this is a gift that she'll like because i know it's adjacent to her area of interest be like you know come like somebody got me seasonings and i was like fuck yeah i like that i didn't know i cook but i don't think and then they they supported a local business from a seasoning shop like out in oakland or whatever and got me that i was like this is

tight because this is some shit. And I wouldn't have thought to buy it, but it, again, it was something that's a great gift from the heart. I don't need another seasonings right now. Underrated. That's dope.

I don't need another rock t-shirt. Like I know who the rock is. I've seen the rock. I know he's the only wrestler. Any of you know, I don't need another, the rock t-shirt in man size x4 my titties are not that big also but thank you but i do need a sock oh uh like authentic sock oh everyone needs a sock yeah

what is uh something you think is overrated daniel okay uh so here is uh it's connected to my overrated because this is again just a creature comfort that made me really happy. White towels, white washcloths, white linens, because I think it's one of those things where when you become an adult and I'm very much doing a lot of like you said, like we're all in the house trying to make it so that like I'm looking at things that make me happy because I'm here. it so that like I'm looking at things that make me happy because I'm here and I feel like we've all been kind of indoctrinated in this idea that like a white bedding is what adults have you know like white you know uh all those like that's the stuff adults have and it's like I got these floral grandma linens and when I tell you they make me so happy to look at like i smile every time i come to bed it's amazing um and i know that it just like i feel like i walk into a lot of um adults bedrooms and they look like hotels and like that's dope but for me i just think that that whole thing is

like you don't have to prove to anyone anymore that you're not going to spill all over your bed you know right right right yeah to me it's too it's it's too much anxiety i have pets and shit you know i mean i'll smoke weed near a bed i don't want you know no and plus you have to bleach that i get the one thing that people say it's like well it's easy because you just bleach the shit out of it and the shit looks blinging every time but that's too you know it's it's on your way to dirty like fucked up pristine sheets that will have me too out of my shit. So I like always like off white or, you know, colors for my bedding. So it's like I wear makeup and I'm brown.

So every time I use like when I've been in hotels where I've had to stay with people when I do comedy, I literally have to do the speech of like, look, I wear makeup. My skin is brown. If you see a brown washcloth in there or a white washcloth with brown stuff on it right it is because i washed my face it's not because i do do it all over the place and then just left it hanging out for you to fucking find it's because i am a brown person who wears brown makeup and that's how it's gonna come off on this towel i think i read early on like in a novel or like a character description somewhere that where it was like dark sheets were equated with some sort of like i don't know like questionable lifestyle i i can't remember where i read it maybe it was like a michael crichton

book or something but it was like you know they have like dark dark sheets so you know what that means yeah and it's like i don't know i don't think i totally internalized that but that that's a weird uh a weird thing to give a shit about especially for like see because it's an airport book that means that like so many people have read it and that's where your parents get the idea that if you don't have white sheets you're doing shit you don't need to be doing. Right. Yeah. Where did you pick that up, Dad? I don't know. God.

Claire, you worried about this frog DNA just getting loose everywhere? Oh, man. By the way, my kids are getting super into dinosaurs right now. Jurassic Park ought to fuck them up, though. Yeah. Jurassic Park ought to fuck them up, though. Yeah. We haven't watched it, but I got them a book that I didn't realize, but it's basically Spawn Con for the upcoming Jurassic Park movie

where the dinosaurs have escaped into the world, which I'm super excited for. But there's pictures where a Mosasaurus, the underwater dinosaur, is swimming underneath a bunch of surfers and shit. Oh, so, um, that'll connect some iron man.

What was that? Nine. When Jurassic park came out, I was like, okay, buddy, you're telling me they got dinosaurs. I saw that so many times in the theater.

Um, yeah, let's go back to the nineties. Like we've been saying, yeah. Uh, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about uh what is happening this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

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

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. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you.

I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110.

120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.

This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams dream sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back so the republicans uh are a party in our country uh that is having a tough time there miles you you put it that their uh construction paper masks that they've been

wearing for the last i guess century uh have like burned off, and we see who they really are now. I mean, most people saw Pat, they were like, that's a lizard with a construction paper mask trying to appear as a human, slash not white supremacist. And now that white elites have felt the threat of white supremacy, they're like, oh my God, who are these people I worked with? And yeah, they're having a bit of a, they're at oh my god who are these people i worked with um and yeah they're having a bit of a they're at an inflection point as a party trying to figure out where to go from here do they lean fully into the mob do they try and you know completely remove trumpism from the party

i mean let's let's be real like it's still kind of the same thing it's just that you're branding a certain thing as trumpism but until they're like i hear them out here being like you know what man we need to talk about reparations actually then i will think maybe something's happening until then it's just it's all fucking pr just mask switching for them so i think the biggest things that are coming out this week are you know the division that's occurring in light of the forthcoming accountability that will be hitting the Capitol, hopefully, fingers crossed. But with Mitch McConnell and Liz Cheney basically chucking deuces at Trump, we're starting to see that the establishment is trying to figure out a way to cleave themselves away and try and reassert control before the mob version of the party basically becomes the dominant force. control before the mob version of the party basically becomes the dominant force. And so Mitch McConnell, he came out and said he's, you know, quote unquote, pleased by the impeachment

proceedings and says that he believes that the president did commit impeachable offenses. But that's a lot different than him saying, I will vote to convict the president in a trial in the Senate. You know, in the news mitch mcconnell's an institutionalist and he really cares about his legacy so this is no surprise that he's drawing the line here now i don't know if that is them trying to be nice and act completely ignore the fact that this dude is fucking mitch mcconnell right tm of trademark copyright he's been this fucking goon for a minute um or if they're trying to remind him that like do the right thing either way uh it's it's it's it's a very just i don't know shallow gesture from mitch mcconnell to just say he's pleased and not to say which way he's going to go because if

he does say he's going to vote yes then i think it becomes much more realistic that we'll see 67 senators vote to remove the president but everything he does is very specifically you know he you can you can be sure that he said pleased instead of uh i will vote to convict for a very specific reason uh he's like staying right in the middle he's saying that he the president committed impeachable offenses but he's also saying he's not going to bring the Senate back until after Biden is in office. Yeah. So it's, you know, he's just leaving the wiggle room,

leaving it open. Which is dangerous because it's a weird game to play because on one hand, if anything fucking happens involving the president and his supporters, I would say there's a very high chance of that. This looks very bad for them to sit down. I don't know. It'll be fine.

Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry. There's nothing going to happen. He's committed to a peaceful transfer of power. That's if that if that doesn't actually end up happening, that nothing happens or that things do happen. They're in a tough position. The other thing is too, if he's stalling based on how the department of justice is talking about these investigations, there could also be something where, you know, Mitch McConnell,

it does benefit him to have Trump disqualified from ever being able to hold office again, because he already had to cede power to this guy before. Mitch McConnell used to be the dude running everything. So on some level, I'm sure for his own calculus as a power-hungry turtle, he wants to make sure that this man can't run for office. And possibly if these investigations are as, you know, or the things that they're uncovering are as despicable as we think they are, then maybe he's just creating enough momentum for the senators to get in line so by the time there is a Senate trial,

they're like, bro, you can't argue with any of this shit. Like, seriously, this is all bad. But either way, it's slow motion and people's lives are still at risk. And this attempt, this coup attempt is still ongoing. We still don't know what happened with who and who was doing what and where all this money was coming from

to bust people out or help people, subsidize their travel for this insurrection? Yeah, you pointed out a hashtag earpiece on Twitter, that rabbit hole that I disappeared down late last night. But yeah, it's just a lot of people who look like experienced operators in a lot of people who look like, you know, experienced operators in a lot of cases, not exclusively. They like kind of blend in with the crowd of people who are just milling around like they're on a Capitol tour. But then there's a lot of dudes with earpieces. There's video from inside the Capitol where people have like schematics and they know

where things are. people have like schematics and they know uh where things are there is a trump supporter who had like specifically threatened violence uh in the past uh who says that there are three gop lawmakers who had specifically like coordinated with them yeah helped um and even then there's uh even representatives in the house that are saying they saw republicans giving people tours the day before inside the capitol building that they that they themselves are they described it as reconnaissance tours and um i forget her name she's from new jersey but she is a former i believe navy or air force officer so for her to use that language is very specific it's not just like someone who is outside of that world. Like it was recon. Like, no, as someone who is familiar with the

military, it felt like a reconnaissance operation. Super producer Ana Hosnia said, Mickey Sherrill. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When you look and you see some of the images and you see that a guy showed up, like one of the few people in masks showed up with like zip ties. You know, that's obviously you don't. Flex cuffs. We have to call them flex. There's a whole semantic argument happening now because like people, everyone has zip ties. But you're like, well, not those. Those are flex cuffs.

Right. OK, so he had flex cut. Well, no, but that's true. Right. Okay. So he had flex cut. Well, no, but that's true. But it's also like, look, like I, you know, I go everywhere and I have like a ring of keys just because I'm like queer. But it's like, there's a difference between, you know, the difference between like a ring of keys and like something that's to hurt somebody. And it's a lot of, you know, even AOC said, I watched. So did you get a chance to watch that live? I saw the certain clips of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So she said that, you know, there's a lot of stuff that she's not allowed to talk about. But it was very obvious to her as well that this was a planned attack. This wasn't just, you know, obviously where you're on Twitter, what you're going to do is you're going to start dunking on people because that's what we do, even when it's a really bad idea. And even when all it does is boost these people's profiles.

that's a really bad idea. And even when all it does is boost these people's profiles. So you start dunking on all of the people who are dancing on things and oh, somebody, you know, somebody shat all over the walls and ha ha, it's so funny. But the people who know what they're doing are going to use those people as covers that they can do the things that they're actually there to accomplish. And, you know, all of these places are getting shut down. Some of the stuff we'll talk about later. But it also means that now, luckily, hopefully, hopefully, obviously, like now I feel like a lot of the things we used to take for granted after watching that, like I feel like I can't as much anymore. say hopefully the people whose jobs it is in the intelligence community to now know where these rats are fleeing to are in those places now because they can no longer plan things on parlor where just like any comedian on twitter can go on there and be like look at what they're doing you

know right right yeah and even with mcconnell i just want to point out the the media is doing a really good job of letting him get away with all this shit. As if this dude did not acknowledge the election results until mid December. So he's just as guilty of allowing the quote, big lie to get momentum and be spread quickly. And in, within the Capitol building out loud from elected members, um,

that that's being overlooked as well. But you know, this is how, this is how this shit goes. Uh, there'll be some people who are just nope play the game just smart enough to somehow everyone forgets all the shit they did and people keep it moving and hopefully most people won't forget um liz cheney though too she's the number three republican in the house um and she has a tremendous amount of influence not to mention her dad is fucking Darth Vader. But the state of Wyoming where she's representing, that went to Trump 70%. She's from a fucking Trump country, and she came out against the president.

And so her saying this isn't like, it's not like she said this from a crystal store inside of Berkeley or some shit. She's from the fucking Wyoming area saying, quote, The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. Then said there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. Again, I see you, Darth Vader Jr. Right. And you're doing a great job because you see a power vacuum and you're just trying to reassert this more corporatocracy version, plutocracy, Republican Party again, rather than like the rabid conspiracy theorist people. So, you know, we see you.

And it's nice that you've, again, people conveniently find their conscience when the chips are really down and as a means to survive. But yeah, this is she's really does. Again, you're seeing the people who are really smart within the party trying to be like, when am I going to play my hand? Let's see if I can do that. Because at the end of the day, like the old school game is if you're friendly with corporations, that means you can keep all that pack money flowing and right now the the establishment people see that this conspiracy theorist version of the party is fucking up the the corporate donation flow so they're going to be like okay then we have to really switch it up i know everybody excused the white supremacist the overt white supremacy for decades i guess until

now um so now let's kind of switch it up and be like this was so bad it's all bad we got to get them out this is not us so please keep your donations flowing look when you lose axe body spray and they have to denounce you yeah lights out that's that is tough yeah uh they they had they had been counting on that all their projections hade body spray support going well into the future. There's also reports that, like from CNN reporter Jamie Gangle, that members of the House GOP caucus are being scared and intimidated by the president under tremendous pressure from Trump. Basically, you know, they are looking at the things that happen to the capital and are like that those people are like you said they didn't realize that they could be uh the

target of this shit uh and because they're cowards now you know they're cowards which is how they ended up being in a position uh where they, you know, trying to benefit and profit off of white supremacy. And now that they're cowards, they're scared. You know, they're too scared to scare the president. Or, you know, the DOJ was saying, too, they've also enlisted the help of corruption ex-corruption prosecutors because they're like we have to start connecting dots it can't just be that these people were like so racist and in a lot of the people in a lot of cases it's true but there is an amount of coordination going on that they're like this reeks of something much darker than just like

these people like no there is so that they're actually looking at it from that perspective too because there's some republicans who realize the jig is up you know what i mean like it's done this shit ain't gonna help you anymore in fact it's fucking you up and you know the clock is ticking probably on you know however much longer you can stay in office but then there's this group the sedition caucus people are still fucking all like the matt gates's and the jim jordans and shit like what like what's their what's their stake in this you know what i mean because it's it now i get it maybe this you know they truly are the fascists that they're saying that they are exposing themselves to be but like are there other dimensions like what is the evolution that they got to this point

what is jim jordan's end game i know uh mattz's endgame is to try and marry Tiffany Trump, I think. But Jim Jordan, what are you hoping to accomplish? It's always an interesting game when you have to figure out find the grift because for a lot of them, this was it for years. And obviously, this has been going since beyond Gamergate and people keep bringing up Gamergate, but it is a good example of, of when all of this started kind of coalescing. And you see like these people, they come into the media, they grift, they get a whole bunch of money and then it's gone in like two seconds because of different things.

And so it can't possibly just be that they want to be on trump tv right like what is the next kind of money making grift for any of them probably to just be like you know do patriot patreon and be like y'all they they canceled me into out of existence i need your help patriots i need three thousand dollars a week to be able to fight the fight against you know like whatever that's seems to to always be the language they pivot. I'm being destroyed by the liberal mobs, you know, like Dan Bongino, Gino, was like, I'm bankrupt because I put way too much money in Parler. He's like, I'm done, y'all. I'm bankrupt.

And I could see that that probably was his endgame. He probably thought, oh, boy, Trump's out. Parler is going to be where it's at we can some motherfucker wants to come in and monetize this shit and i'm gonna have this huge stake in it and i'm gonna clean up cut to um yeah because i think at the end of the day it is money for people but that's why i'm so curious like who are the just a straight up you know these three percenter oath keeper types who are just like hell-bent on you know make bringing to reality this weird keeper types who are just like hell bent on, you know, make it come bringing to reality, this weird ethno state that they keep seeing in their mind.

And how many people are just like, I don't know. I was just going with the momentum of the likes on social media. Um, and I was riding that and I didn't realize it was just ends up into a, a shark's mouth. I, uh,

retweeted a birds rights activist tweet, uh, last night. Cause it was just very funny. It was like that those tiny bird prints in the wedding cake were not me. They were Antifa, but in the adorable way that Katie writes is birds rights activist. okay, isn't it possible that a Q shaman dude has been arrested as part of Antifa activity before? And so I just did a very quick Google, found at the very top a Reuters article debunking exactly that and posted it and was like, where had you heard that?

And his response was was do your own research and uh yeah like okay like the media never lies about yeah that's what i'm just like it's uh it's just beyond the point of like reason at this point it's like yeah it's it's it the the logic is completely burnt out now and now it's you know because now you have people saying ashley babbitt was a plant q anon shaman is antifa anyone who was caught is not them so and then but then those people are trying to reassert that they are not and they're like no i'm come on y'all this is me i'm a patriot too that they can't for a second see that. So eventually it would just consume itself in some weird way. But yeah, it's, I was just even thinking, you know, like with people that are fully

into this ideology, it's almost an interesting thought experiment to be like, what would happen to you? What would you do as a supporter of the president? If the MAGA world said you weren't who you are, right? How would you then prove that to them because these are your people how would you what tools do you have at that point like to even reason amongst yourself to be like no y'all I'm I'm 100% patriot I'm not a crisis actor well there is nothing because it's I mean again it's a cliche to say but it's a cult it's a religion like it

or just at least that that that the way of thinking about it is there's no way because we are wrong and like we are right and they are wrong. And therefore, if you did something that makes us look bad, then, you know, we're putting you out on an ice floe and there's nothing that you can do. And here's the thing is, even if you gave them that thought experiment of what would you do and how to prove it i would never do anything that would piss them i would never do it because you're right because i'm not because i'm not antifa i don't have to worry about that yep i don't have to worry about it but that is an interesting idea too i should have accused that person of being an antifa plant who's making the argument of trump supporters look stupid on purpose and see if uh see how you responded to that. They're all playing a high level game of among us and it's just not going

very well. That's right. All right. Nice try. All right. Real quick, since we're on the subject of parlor and Dan Bongino, jam kind of did a dive into uh the conversation that's happening uh back and forth after parlor

was shut down and amazon web services decided to stop uh hosting their servers and this was not like a brave stand that they took after the capital uh riots it was a situation where they had a backlog of 26,000 reports of objectionable content, including examples of graphic calls to violence against tech CEOs, against school teachers and professional athletes, specific dates and targets for that violence and threats to uh shoot uh police officers in the head um and the fbi's defense for not distributing a formal intelligence bulletin about the plans to attack the capital uh which were all over parlor and they knew about and

anybody could have like that whole hack that people were talking about was done on using a iPad and it was it was done so the person who did it was like oh no it was not a hack that is the information they made available like that's what was out there like anybody could have done it um but the fbi claimed that uh they couldn't act on it because of concerns that the material fbi analysts were examining on social media amounted to protected free speech uh which is something they've always been uh very aggressive about protecting uh exclusively when it's uh in favor of white supremacy right um but yeah it's not a uh it's not a situation where parlor was uh doing you know just another website like they don't have

any actual employees uh or even automated programs regulating their content like twitter does and instead they rely on volunteers to moderate posts. Oh, so parlor was basically like that kid's basement whose parents were never home. Yes, exactly. Except every,

all those kids got guns and bad ideas. And like that kid's basement, a parlor became full of porn. Like that was something that the white post reported. They were like, uh, yeah, like it, you, you can search sexually explicit terms and it's just all sorts of just things cool stuff

yeah hell yeah this basement's fucking sick yeah except unlike the capital it's also covered in shit because like wasn't that one of their problems too they had to like regulate literal shit posts literal shit posts they had to like regulate uh one of their first anti-free speech things was that people would send pictures of their shit as replies and they had to be like please don't send pictures of poop when you reply to other people yeah even your own poo yes even your own poo that's a big wizard thing was like but it's our poo okay sure i created this it's my baby the thing uh the but the thing that they the things they were doing in terms of security like uh if you posted on parlor it would generate a number that was like sequential. So if I posted and then you

posted a second later, my post would be like 5 million one, yours would be 5 million two. So that enabled people to just figure out what the URLs were for all posts and organize it neatly. Whereas in web design 101, the very first security step you take is randomizing those numbers. But they did not even take that. It was like a geolocation site. It was all lazy. They're even using like Okta, that platform a lot of companies use. And they were using a trial version.

A trial version. No, it's not WinRAR, you guys. Eventually, you have to pay for it. Win-rar. Un-rar for my Mac people. My torrent gang out there. Shout out to Pirate Bay. Gang, gang.

All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side,

the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. 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. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture

of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.

There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And before we get to important Harry Styles updates, we wanted to just check in with fox when things like this are happening that would seem to challenge the cognitive dissonance uh that they seem to be able to live with on a moment-to-moment basis uh fox and friends i don't know they're getting they they seem to be like that reality seems to be

leak trickling in they're starting to use some seasoning on their white supremacy cooking over there because it's getting spicy a little bit i didn't know i thought they were always just lockstep with each other throat in the boot being like yeah we love we love everything the president's doing um but now i guess steve ducey look i'm always curious to know what happened for all these people to find their conscience suddenly. Like, it's obviously some kind of threat to their money because it's the only thing I believe is the only thing they actually worship is their material comfort. But Steve Ducey basically and him and Brian Kilmeade have had a bit of a little bit of back and forth over what exactly happened last week. Was it a attack? Was it this is BLM just as bad and this is an interesting let's

just listen to these two guys just really sort their feelings out because brian you're talking about people who work in the congress and we're talking about the congress was under attack last week it was looted there was a riot so was Portland every day, and nobody cared on the left. Those people have lives, too, just because they don't have medallions to go through metal detectors every day. All the state houses and the police houses that were ransacked, and nobody cared? I don't think what they were doing in Portland was trying to overthrow the democracy. Police stations? The democracy of the united states of america right i get it and there is some

equivalency when you look at the fact that they were both attacks and they're both protests but this this was uh essentially and some people have used the people on the political left say the president incited this the president is the one who said come to washington let's have this big thing it's going to be wild and it it was wild. Mitch McConnell and also Ken McCarthy are trying to figure out how to punish him because they say he has gone too far. I mean, it's also that like, let's not forget Fox and Friends.

Y'all were also at hand in it. So for Steve Ducey to be like, I mean, it was all of them. Can you believe this? Which is everybody just trying to leave the other party with the bag right now. So a lot of hot potato going on right now. The fact that his summary of it was, he said it's going to be wild, and it was wild.

That is one of the, yeah. And Brian, you just want to say it was a vibe. To call that a vibe is just a very disingenuous euphemistic description of what we saw that was oh that was wild it wasn't a vibe it was wild and i just want to say that i love that brian kilmeade is like well if they could have they would have but one one group of people actually went to the place where it could have happened and one group of people did not. But just the idea of like, well, if they, I mean, they could, they would have if they could have.

It's just, there's so much just, I know you are, but what am I that is happening in that clip and I can't handle it. Because at the end of the day, none of them can actually have the, get to the root of it, which is what is this saying about the people on each side? And let's try and understand what they're fighting for or against and if we were if we sincerely analyze that it would be so clear this has nothing they're not the same in any way you know what i mean in any way but they because they're unable to because that would completely give like they would vaporize like like some star wars jedi ghost or some shit if they're like you know brian i think it's because a white supremacist what's happening to me they just can't do it because it's like there's that's you know that it always has to be a very

inaccurate disingenuous analysis of what the other side is doing for any of their arguments to hold well they spent so long saying that black lives matter was preaching you know some people were saying black supremacy they were spending so long saying like they're trying to to ruin the government and overtake everything and then when you have these people literally having a party on the steps and climbing up the walls like link trying to get to gannon like you said then then oh that's just like a bunch of people like you said having a vibe man that's just a tailgate yeah that's just funsies that's just the end of uh the end of the democracy yeah it was a vibe gallows it was a vibe noose the gallows those were pipe bombs those weren't pipe bombs they were vibe bombs okay and i think we're just being really it's just so funny like

even watching these republicans debate right now in the house about over impeachment it almost like looks like if there was like a bird like a cat burglar defending themselves in court like with a ski mask on like addressing the jury and be like i mean ladies and gentlemen of the jury what's next you know truly that burglary will be illegal and it's like are y'all for real right now it's just bants you guys it was just banter oh my full fuck for the bants oh my god it's all for the bants you guys yeah that was a that was a banter noose yeah okay yeah i mean count down to those really weird explanations i'm sure we'll be encountering those very soon.

Especially because, look, I'm sure we're going to learn a lot more about a lot of people in the Congress. If these investigations are as severe and serious as they're trying to make it seem, whether or not that's a PR thing to be like, oh, we're going to get them. And by get them, I mean make them promise they'll never do it again and they can keep their guns uh we'll see what that is but it definitely seems like people are shook uh across the capital again because for the first time they were like oh shit white supremacist violence could also consume white people that huh okay so we might have to do something about this because i thought it was just for you know the other others all right let's talk about uh harry styles the last time we touched the hair touched on yeah right touch the harry styles i wish uh last time we touched on harry styles uh and his new relationship with Olivia Wilde or at least

them being spotted out in public together canoodling as the press would say we didn't really know what was going on like we apparently at that time people were reporting that Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis had separated

months earlier and so I just assumed like oh so it was a known thing that they were no longer together uh but now it's coming out that like jason sudeikis is like uh heartbroken and uh is like i'm hoping that this look i'll come out and say bro he was he was straight cucked by harry styles right i'm sorry sorry, bro. Sudeikis, come on, buddy. All jokes aside, this whole thing in Us Weekly, the way they describe it, because again, I was worried about my man, Jason Sudeikis, the guy, everybody knows him famously from dancing in the background of the What's Up With That sketches. And I don't know if he's done much after that, but I obviously honor

that work. And in this this interview the source has revealed quote jason's had no option but to step back and let olivia do her thing but he has his fingers crossed that this is just a phase and that olivia will snap out of it or that harry will get bored and move on before too long sudeikis is desperate to get her back so they can, quote, repair their family. I didn't know that. Yeah, this is bad timing too because everyone loves Ted Lasso right now, which is the character that Jason Sudeikis plays,

who is like the most human, sweet person in the world. And, you know, no spoilers for the season, but it's just like, this is a terrible time to be mean to Jason Sudeikis because we all have already wanted to hug Ted Lasso. And now we want to just hug both of him with mustache and without. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, this sounds like, what do you think is happening here? He said he has no option but to step back and as if he's being like, you can't do this, Olivia.

We got to work on this. Come on, the kids kids and she's like i'm i'm sorry did you i'm i'm with harry styles right now i can't i don't think you understand do you know who harry styles is have you ever met him because he's like yeah that motherfucker he came to my bachelor party i don't know so I just hope I didn't know I just I hope this isn't salacious but you know my heart goes out to them and if you know but look

if Olivia wants to do her thing she's gotta do her thing sorry you know once you go Brit Americans ain't shit I think it's the same goes no I just made that up for now it's probably a saying somewhere I mean it depends on what century you're in right yeah um that that phrase will mean different things over the years

i actually met jason sudeikis like early on in his career uh i was like on set of that movie the 10 uh the david wayne movie yeah and it was like the one scene. It was the day that was like the one scene Jason Sudeikis was shooting. And he was just like the most down to earth, like nice guy. I just like sat with me while he was waiting for his shot and was just chilling. I'm like a very normal dude. Yeah.

When I, back in my old job at Condé, when I used to make like, just go to junkets and just make like celebrity viral content there's a video i did what was the movie he was in that movie and when anne hathaway is like the monster and shit you know what i mean that'd be fucking up the town isn't it sudeikis in that colossal i believe so is it colossus colossal something like that okay um but it's it's very good colossal yeah yeah it is yeah okay

so i was a junket for that film and he had like some dopes he's a sneaker head and i i remember just identifying his sneakers i'm like oh those are dope blah blah blahs and he was like oh oh and then he saw my kicks he legitimately had a conversation with me for five minutes junkets daniel you know them shits like if you if you eat up too much of your time the publicist will be like i'm sorry y'all you killed too much you spent five minutes kiki-ing about nikes so i'm sorry but that we have to keep it moving he straight up vouched for the conversation to the studio public everyone being like no no we need more time i we were we were talking at the beginning and i don't want i don't want them to not like miss their. And I was like, Sudeikis?

Damn, bro. Ain't nobody ever done that for me in a junket. Oh, my God. And so that's why I think I have another layer of investment in this saga. Yeah. Who knows? He could be a piece of shit. He could be.

Who knows? I've also met Harry Styles at a one year old's birthday party and one of the most charming human beings that you've ever witnessed like the whole world stops when he walks into someone's backyard so I'm just saying

I understand like Olivia you got something good and you got something real good I guess and you're Olivia Wilde so you get your choice go off all I know is just keep the little morsels out so we can follow this story alright

and then Lord of the Rings the series on Amazon which is not something I've been tracking but they have kind of released the first description of what the series is going to be uh and miles you're you're pumped you're excited i i mean i liked the lord of the rings movies um always was interested when this was announced like what is this going to be will it be good what's it about who's in it what it is um i don't know

daniel about you how did you feel when you first heard about this are you do or is this not really your bag well so i was i'm trying to remember um when i first started covering this because i feel like we've been talking about this for like uh almost like since the end of like the hobbit and stuff like that like this has been in and out of development it sounds like i feel like for a really long time um so i go in and out of being really pumped and then being like is this actually gonna happen and then really pumped um so now that it looks like we've got a description so that's something yeah um if it's following the second age man i'm totally in on this like if like it sounds like that's what this is gonna be i am completely in because i love lord of the rings and i love all the stuff and if

they do it the right way then i'm super super stoked i just am still this is one of those um this is one of those properties where i'm very much i will believe it when i see it right exactly as they say it will take viewers back to an era which great powers were forged kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin unlikely heroes were tested hope hung by the finest of threads and the greatest villain that ever flowed from tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness i'm like okay yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay i like i like all this um so they're saying from the darkest depths of the misty mountains to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon

to the breathtaking island kingdom of Numenor to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live long after they are gone. So it's flowery, but sort of like half specific, but it still gets me excited to your point. It does kind of sound like a wrestling promo when you say it like that.

It sounds like the rock is telling you all of the different places he's going to go to kick your ass. I'll kick your ass in the Misty Mountains. Right, exactly. Or like one of those mobile games, like ads, where the person's doing a fake old-timey voice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So as somebody, pretend that I don't know shit about uh lord of the rings what this is like before even the hobbit happened before any of this stuff uh this is like pre-prequel yeah this is like pre-prequel um now and i'm and i'm gonna say it on it like i'm not like a stephen colbert like i know some of this stuff but like i'm not like a huge huge like i didn't read a lot of the books Like I know some of this stuff, but like, I'm not like a huge, huge, like I didn't read a lot of the books. I love Lord of the Rings, but I'm like one of those where I want it in a movie.

I don't want it in 80,000 pages. But I do believe that this is like kind of the rise and fall of man is what we're talking about. If we're talking about the second age and someone's going to correct me and I'm probably wrong but so this is based on a separate tolkien work that takes place in middle earth um i don't think this is based on anything oh really um because i think it's based on just like things that they talked about in lord of the rings like the lore yeah yeah like the lore this is almost like how they were talking

about which i don't think is going to happen now but the game of thrones series where some of where actually i think there might be some books on that one but and again someone will correct me if i'm wrong but i don't believe that this is based on like a specific book or series um i believe this is just based on like stuff that they've talked about and that they're going to pull out of the books it's just funny because you know it's like the come up of sauron basically and like him fighting the elves and shit but i just like the idea of like a show called young sauron whatever that's about like i don't know like fuck it i can do some comedy it's like him with his family you know he was an awkward kid growing up right right right look at him now sauron you didn't replenish the diet

cokes again did you see that clip on reddit no we replenish in this house what is this it's this clip on reddit where this like it's like these parents are yelling at their kid like like playfully ribbing their kid for not replenishing like the diet cokes in the basement refrigerator and they're like what were you doing it's like i only had one he's like we replenish in the god damn it like and the dad is like totally going over the top with it and then it cuts to the dad calling his brother and he's like bobby what happened what did we do when we were growing up if you took something out of the refrigerator what did you do and like on it's on speakerphone and like the guy's like, oh, we replenished.

And he's like, exactly. We fucking replenished. This whole concept of replenishing the refrigerator. So it's a nice piece of distraction for y'all. I know we didn't get to tweets we liked, but I had to just stream of consciousness, remind myself of that video. I don't know. Yeah. All right.

And it's usually a woman in a robe with like a wearing like a bonnet, very chill. And then she drops down and then

bus it plays. And you can see her bussing it. So there's one where there's a woman who she starts out normal. And then when she gets down to bus it, she doesn't get down all the way.
