Put a jade egg in your coot someday. You got your dogs an all right fan. A Joe Biden stand. Billy Zane will be your lover one day. Singing, McFarlane will kick you.

McFarlane will kiss you. That's it. Wow. I know. That was a long try. Thank you. Thank you. That's it. Wow. I know. That was a long try. Thank you. Thank you. There's some deep lore

in that, aka, involving my sex dream where Seth MacFarlane pushes me down a flight of stairs. Oh, MacFarlane.

I thought you were saying Meg Farland. Meg Far, no, Mac. She won't kiss you. She would never. She would never.

She'd never. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious, the talented, the chaotic. He is Mr. Chris Crofton. Hey. Hey.

How are you? You got the CB? Buddy, you're an old man sitting on an old can. Everybody's doing something crazy today. Hey. There you go. I did my own I did my own fire aka there. Yeah, you did and you nailed it.

Chris, how have you been? I've been, you know, I think I've been okay. I've been pretty good. You know, considering that Joe Biden is surging and the coronavirus is surging, I'm doing pretty good. Yeah. Now, I understand you can't come.

Oh, fuck. That's the last episode. Yeah, real quick. The last episode I was on of Daily Zeitgeist, I, without context, said that I said I was in a band that was really popular in Nashville. Miles said something nice, which was like, you were a god in Nashville. And I was like, yeah, if a god means having one night stands where you don't come. And nobody, I didn't give it any context. And it was a big hit, though, even without context.

That becomes your thing. I like that you've reached a point in Zeitgeist Appearances where you have to give revisions to your last appearance. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, I just want to say that I can come. Oh, wow. And that, like, but when you do... If you are in a band called Chris Crofton and the Alcohol Stunt Band

and you are having a one-night stand, it means that everyone involved is so drunk that nobody comes and that's all that was the point I'm glad we were able to clarify that because it was like all over the internet hashtag zeitgang hashtag Crofton can't come and stuff and my mom read it

now my mom has a shirt that says hashtag Crofton can't come and stuff she doesn't even know what it means apparently the Crofton can't come and stuff. She doesn't even know what it means apparently. Proceeds went to charity though I heard. The Crofton can't come shirt, they're actually changing lives. That's for 40 plus men who can't come. Oh no.

Someone in Zeitgang is firing up a printing press right now. Oh shit. Crofton can't come. Yeah. All proceeds go to the Bloomberg campaign. Zeitgang likes to... To the Bloomberg campaign. Oh my God.

What a nightmare. Like it's not even happening anymore. We're all still going to the Bloomberg campaign. They just left the link live. I don't know. We're all just room to recoup. Yeah.

I mean, I'm assuming that's why you're upset that Biden's surging because it knocked Bloomberg clear out. Yeah. I was having this conversation. I wasn't having this conversation.

When I say I was having this conversation, I meant I was sitting in my house alone yesterday and I thought something. I wasn't having this conversation. When I say I was having this conversation, I meant I was sitting in my house alone yesterday. And I thought something. If the character Frasier would vote, who do you think that Frasier would vote for? I think I solicited some opinions. I think Bloomberg.

Probably Bloomberg. Maybe Biden. I know. Just because he's like the establishment there was some really fun uh maybe warren maybe warren uh i feel like best case warren yeah but like he does feel like a bloomberg boy there were a lot of people saying that bulldog would say he voted for trump but would secretly be canvassing for Bernie. Bulldog? Bulldog, Jack!

He's the sports guy! I thought you two were talking about the musician. Pitbull? Pitbull. So old. Love that artist, Bulldog. Do you think Pitbull would be as popular?

Pitbull would not be as popular if his name was Bulldog. No, probably not. And here comes bringing the party Bulldog. I don't know. What kind of vibe? Could it be clarified up front every time that he was making a reference to Frazier's friend from the radio station. Why was he called? Oh, that's fun.

It's funny. He doesn't look like a pit bull, really. I wonder how he ended up with that name. Maybe he killed a lot of cats. Jesus. Let's just throw out a theory. No, because pit bulls fucking, well, not all pit bulls. Uh-oh. Not all pit bulls.

Uh-oh. No, no, but man, oh, man. My neighbors had a pit bull, and that hated, liked to eat cats. Yeah. That was one pit bull. Now, can we get you to weigh in on circumcision and anything else that will just destroy your mentions? Yeah.

No, we're not going to do that. We're going to talk about the primary a little bit more. We're going to talk about the latest estimates of what the coronavirus epidemic is going to look like uh we're going to ask the question why do olds run the united states why is donald trump the youngest candidate uh now running for president uh we'll talk about alabama uh we'll talk about katie perry uhignant. She's Pergananant. Yeah. We're going to talk about the brand collab of the day. We've got a couple of them.

The Bloomberg grift is apparently real. And South by Southwest, maybe, if we have time. But first, Chris, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are, sir? Well, I feel like people know what I search for. Yeah. Well, real quick, I'd like to just mention before I forget, Nashville, my adopted hometown, was hit by a tornado that really got kind of overlooked. I mean, it got publicity, definitely, but that place is a wreck, and people need help there badly still.

And it kind of like overlap with the Super Tuesday and coronavirus and everything. So it's still happening. So I just wanted to mention, if anyone has the resources to donate to the Tennessee Red Cross, please do so. And I just wanted to mention that. And love to all my friends in Nashville, who I love very much, and I love that city. So besides that, thanks for letting me mention that. Yeah, of course. Mine, you know, I like people finding old stuff.

You know, I like metal detecting, and I like mudlarking. I like watching people find old things, and I love the feeling of thinking about, oh my God, imagine the person in the buckled shoes who last held that pipe is like my main source of thrills in this life. So like one of the things I've been watching is, is exploring abandoned, abandoned mines.

People go into old mines and explore mines. Now here's the thing. The only problem is that there's only like four things in mines, no matter what mine you go into. Like when you metal detect, you can find pretty much anything because people drop stuff all over the ground. But when you go into a mine, I mean, I guess some people might drop stuff out of their pockets in a mine,

but it probably goes down to the bottom. Mostly what they find are mine cars. Mine cars, right? Or cars. Right. Or cars. Yeah, yeah. They find ore cars.

Like Indiana Jones. And they find dynamite. But mainly those are the two things they find. Sometimes they find old jeans, and that's like the jackpot of the universe. Right. Because then it's like, oh my God, this was back when Levi's only had one rivet or whatever. Right. It's worth $680,000 to somebody in Japan.

So that's like the best case scenario yeah but there are a lot of mine exploration videos that are very long and i've watched a lot of them and it mostly has to do with figuring out what year or cars were manufactured whether it was 1890 or 1930 because before 1930 or something it it was all riveted. And then after that, it was welded. So Old Minds is sort of the like over. It's almost like an overrated mudlarking. It's like the stuff that you find exploring Old Minds is not as good as what you would expect.

No, but it's like their videos are way longer. So they're kind of like arrogant, I think, the people who explore Old Minds because they think people have 45 minutes to look at them them figuring out what age an ore car is. I mean, sorry, I can watch 10 minutes of mudlarking and see a marble, a pipe, a military button. You're showing me ore cars again after I had to watch 40 minutes of you clambering? Okay, but did you watch the whole thing? Which one? Of the 45-minute video? Yeah, I've watched a bunch of them. Okay, but did you watch the whole thing? Which one? Of the 45-minute video?

Yeah, I've watched a bunch of them. Yeah, okay. Why, Jamie? You have one that has a really great ending. I don't know if you'll be able to hear this on your thing, but this is a guy who's like a mine car expert or whatever, and he's like not only is he arrogant enough to put a 45-minute video of him and his friend like grunting while they try and get to the mine cars, because these mines are full of junk.

They're also risking their lives to look at these things. Right, to look at just garbage. So this is what he says on it. I don't know if you can hear it. So we've got some pretty exciting things lined up here today. We're going to be going in a mine and look at some really old mine cars. Now, you probably don't understand the difference between old cars and new cars. Yeah. Oh, he's like really arrogant, too.

That's so annoying. And then he goes on from there. Well, they're riveted. And I'm like thinking to myself, yeah, I do know because I've watched all your dumb videos. That's all you talk about. I know so much about ore cars. I could... I could spit rivets. Right.

I could get indignant about it Yeah of course I don't know I'm not a loser Right and this guy Yesterday I watched this guy There's dynamite all over these mines Because back then I guess That was like the number one Tool for all uses

Yeah and the names of the Dentists use dynamite just to like Remove mold It's true and you can buy it like in any store too I'll have like a pack of gum and use dynamite just to remove mold. It's true, and you can buy it at any store, too. I'll have a pack of gum and some dynamite. Run to the 7-Eleven and grab a couple sticks. I don't know, I'll have some pickled herring, some dynamite. A couple sticks of gum, a couple sticks of dynamite.

Does dynamite keep for a long time, or does it expire? Well, this is the end of this boring. This guy, this man, after he's done exploring the ore cars, they find a bunch of dynamite. And he's like, well, I saw on YouTube that this dynamite won't explode because it's over 50 years old. He's like, but let's see if it'll explode. So they lit some fuse. And they kept saying, like, there was a three-minute fuse. So they kept walking further and further away. And then they were like, well, maybe we should go a little further away. But anyway, they were like, that was a three minute fuse so they kept walking further and further away

and then they were like, well, maybe we should go a little further away. Right. But anyway, they're idiots and they almost, luckily, they're like, it probably won't explode

and then it did explode. Right. And they said, don't believe what you see on YouTube. Yeah. It was like the whole thing. Anyway, 45 minutes. During this journey

that we've just been on i was also looking up something that had made the rounds uh in the past couple months about missing persons cases and america's cave systems and like overlaying the maps uh where it's conspiracy yeah in a fun way yeah uh and always, or you don't always, but there are these cases of serial killers who hid the bodies in caves, and caves are just really hard to explore. Anyways, a question that this leaves me with

is they only mapped out, they made it look like all the missing persons cases correspond with caves, and it's just, it can't like they only chose 411 missing persons cases. And there's this like the smiley face killer. Right. Is it like a bad, I should I get into spelunking? No, I think spelunking is okay.

I mean, oh, I mean, we have a split room. Yeah. Well, spelunking is like, that's like just nature walking underground. That's not like trying to find ore cars. That's like looking at natural formations and being like, check out that stalactite. But I shouldn't go all the way into the cave. That reminds me of one of my favorite stories ever. It was like a college freshman in indiana like two years ago who joined the cave exploring club to fit in because he didn't have many friends at school and then the

cave exploring club locked him in the cave no they forgot he was there and he was locked in the cave for like a whole week he lived how do you lock it so it's he lived. How do you lock a cave? He lived, so it's actually really funny. How do you lock a cave? He lived. The fact that he lived is, I mean, great, because then I can talk about it all the time. So I guess that, like, with caves that are explored a lot, you can actually lock them to prevent, I guess it's like a safety measure.

Right. So that you know it'll be safe when you explore it again. So they, like, literally locked him in a cave. There's all these... Everyone should look up the story, because he was Snapchatting. He was trying to communicate to the outside world. He was licking the walls.

He was peeing in a jar and then being like, I can't drink. He was Snapchatting, and nobody followed him enough to... It would do that thing where it would like 90 percent send and then it would be like you can't and then he had to conserve his battery and he was his name was lucas and he's the chillest kid in the entire world because after it happened he was just like yeah um you know i was new to the club it makes sense that maybe they forgot me and like no worries this happens all the time excited to get back to school right i. It's like this happens all the time. Excited to get back to school. Right. I just, it's like the most beautiful story ever.

And if anyone wants to be my friend, just a shout out. I hope he's like thriving. Yeah. Just imagine how horrifying or I mean in retrospect how cool I want to be this kid's friend more than anything. That your first week of college you were in the New York Times because you got locked in a cave by your peers. Yeah.

That's pretty rad. Makes you think. i wonder when he started licking the walls like what do you think 20 minutes in yeah we forgot we forgot uh old lucas in the cave and it turns out we've been gone 15 minutes and he peed in a jar he talks all of his all of his quotes are so cool he's or not they're just like funny he's like yeah i peed in a jar just in caves and i'm like i can't do it here's here's one of his snapchats that just says like 1641 we still out here wow oh my god he's like he should have said we still in here right out there we're still locked in this cave we still in here with as the kids say we still locked in i licked the wall that didn here with jar of urine. As the kids say, we're still locked in this cave.

I licked the wall. That didn't work. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated, I was going to say, depends on what direction. What do I have here? Corn pop story. Biden's corn pop story, I think, is underrated. Underrated?

Yes, because I think people should really dig into that and decide whether they should vote for him. Because it's really a pageant. Right. It's incredible. At one point in it, he, first of all, I've got a couple problems with it. How serious a gangster was Corn Pop if he was swimming? Right. Second of all, did any gangsters ever swim at all i don't think so i think it's off brand and it would never happen

uh like oh look at corn pop for the most dangerous man in the world frolicking right he's got water wings on sickest dive yeah so so basically joe biden Biden was a white lifeguard, which he highlights. You know, I was a white lifeguard in a black neighborhood. He was yelling at a black man on the diving board for not wearing a bathing cap and threatened him and called him Esther. That's the best part. He says, hey, Esther. Which is the most old-timey like is it's that means he's talking about esther williams the synchronized swimming hollywood star from 1870

yeah and 1940 really are 50s but but anyway so he he he uses a sexist ancient right and then and then he consults with he says the only other white man there who's the maintenance guy to see how he's going to get out of this yeah now how is he the hero of this story that's what i want to know how in the fuck did he tell this story in front of a group of african-americans yeah and and he's supposed that's supposed to be a heartwarming story of like him being some kind of honorary African American or something. I just do not understand.

That story is so crazy. But the main part is for me just that he's a bad dude and he swims. And he also gets off the diving board. He got off. He said I yelled at him and called him. He wouldn't put on a bathing cap. And after I yelled at him, he got off the diving board.

Yeah. All the gangsters get off diving boards. Gangsters are traditionally scared of diving into the pool. And so he was probably just looking for an excuse to get off the diving board. I mean, the whole story is just insane. It's so, like, I don't know. Every time I hear that story crop back up, I'm like, what was he, what did he think he was accomplishing when he told that story?

I think he made it up while he was saying it. He should take a UCB class. I swear to God. He could really thrive making up weird racist stories at UCB. Yes. That's a thing. The whole genre of comedy. Biden supporters are the yes-anders of that scenario.

What is something you think is overrated? Overrated, I would say, aside from a mind-carb analysis, I would say underrated. Or wait, this is overrated? Overrated. Yeah. What did I put? Oh, I put Joe Biden. This is boring. I don't want to make it like that. Alright. We can go with minecart.

Monrovia bear. Monrovia bear. Now this is important. Overrated is the Monrovia bear. Do you guys know about the Monrovia bear? I don't. Okay. I live in Monrovia, California. In a back house. In the back of an acre and a half property that my boss, well I don't. Okay. I live in Monrovia, California. Okay. In a back house in the back of an acre and a half property that my boss, well, I don't need to get too far into it, but it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I rent a back house in this yard and my landlord inherited, his wife inherited the house from her parents. They grew up in this house. Anyway, so they've, that's really irrelevant that was a cold brew related that was a cold see i wait till i get to the studio when i just just a little behind the scenes stuff before i come to the daily zeitgeist so i can be extra tweaked right yeah i i do not drink coffee all the way to here which which is so unusual for me. And the whole way here, I'm in very dire straits. I can't talk right, and I can't drive right and stuff.

Yeah, I would say the difference between you before and after the cold brew is akin to The Incredible Hulk. I don't know if it's really good, though. Actually, I get kind of disoriented. And you know about my famous brain wipe. Right. Where we had to stop the show because my brain just completely emptied. Yeah. We talk about little else around here.

So, of course. So, anyway, so a couple, what was it, a week ago? It was a national story, that bear wandering around a neighborhood. Did you see it? Yeah, for like two days. That was my fucking neighborhood. Oh, wow. Wait, really? Did you see the bear IRL? That bear

was was, what do you call it when they shoot it with darts? Shoot it and tranquilize it. Oh, tranquilize it. It was tranquilized outside my kitchen. No way! I have a picture of it laying outside my, I mean three feet from my

that bear chose my yard. Yeah. Out of every yard. It had been wandering around for two days and it finally stopped and was subdued. Yeah. Even though it was not. This is the other part of the story. Oh.

And why it's, the myth is that bears are a big deal. This bear. Right. Okay. I wake up. Okay. I wake up. I usually would have slept through the whole thing. This thing. Right. Okay. I wake up. Okay. I wake up. I usually would have slept through the whole thing.

This thing happened at like 730 in the morning. I usually wake up at noon at best. So I also have no money. I'm not married. I have no children. So don't get jealous. So I woke up and it's 730. I never wake up at 730.

I had to work at this vineyard. It was a show. What am I? I have no30. I never wake up at 7.30. I had to work at this vineyard. It was a show. What am I? I have no job. I'm a celebrity. So anyway, I got up. You're a celebrity and you don't cum. I don't work and I don't cum.

Hashtag don't work. Hashtag don't cum. Thank you, Jamie. Oh, God god this is good so uh anyway I walked out this is such a fucking

crazy story so I walk out of my back house right there's nothing happening there's no noise or anything there's nobody anywhere

and I'm groggy cause it's 730 in the morning 5 hours before I usually wake up and some of those tranquilizers miss the bear and hit you

I had cold brew late at night so I probably slept terribly like I always do. And I walked out and I saw a bear walking 100 feet away from me.

But it was in the same yard. I mean it was through the, it had just come through the gate. That's too close. But it was walking real slow and it wasn't really looking at me. Okay. So I took out my phone and took a picture of it. And then I noticed that everyone in the front house was waving their arms madly. Right.

And like screaming. Right. But then I was like, I'm late for work because I had to drive really far. So I just took the other path out of the backyard. Right. And didn't really. And like one of the people in the front house was like chris wouldn't you like to come inside and i was like i don't i'm just gonna go this way yeah i came

around the corner and there were 20 tv cameras pointed at the house oh my god that sounds like a nightmare so i was but i was just like late so i was like okay well how are you guys doing and got in my car and drove away right so i destroyed their narrative right yeah because you were not and i had right the the famous footage uh news footage of man v bear is like the person who's like walking down the alleyway like texting and then like looks up and they're like a foot away from a bear and they like freak out and like cartoonishly run away you like had that same experience except you and they like freak out and like cartoonishly run away you like had that same experience except you were just like oh what's up because of a combination of like sleeping poorly because of cold brew like waking up early and yeah like there's nothing i

was so tired and disoriented i could have any bear i'm surprised i didn't pet the bear or you know what i mean like but it was so funny because um yeah because the news people were uh i accidentally made fools out of the news people yeah and your face news people i think that was brave i'd also been on a hike though in monrovia monrovia is up again okay it's just like i went on a hike it's best not to be called the fuck out. Well, you know, I got tired of the dating app, so now I'm hiking. Right. So I hike shirtless. Nice.

So I'm in Monrovia. It's up against the San Gabriel Mountains. The thing is that bears come down there all the time. Right. And so I just happened to have been on a hike on, it was like President's Day or something. I don't remember what day it was, but it was like a holiday. And there was a bear up in the mountains and there were 70 people around it filming it while it. Right. And I asked a park ranger just recently whether it was, you know, dangerous. You know, they were like, no, a bear is not going to bother you unless you bother it. So it really is like I didn't feel fear because the bear was like not looking at me. Right. But I came out looking like I was a badass, but really it was just, I just recently had been sort of told

like as long as you're not right next to the bear or you, you know, want to interact with it. Right. You know. Same bear you think? No, probably. You think that bear's coming after you like the shark from Jaws?

Maybe it saw you as like, no, there's someone special. I got to go to that guy's house. See, that guy's still. I'm not falling for that guy's house. See, that guy's still- I'm not falling for that. I'm not getting involved in whatever premise that's supposed to be. So anyway, the moral of the story is the myth.

Is this the myth busting? Nope. It's overrated. Overrated is fear bears. Okay. Actually, let's take a quick break, as we are wont to do, before we get to the myth with Chris Croft, and actually, let's take a quick break as we are wont to do before we get to the myth

with Chris Croft and we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. 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. They're just dreams. Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording?

Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico.

So all of these, we have, we thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app,

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion.

An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that.

And we're back And Chris What's a myth? A myth is That I can't write good poetry And I can And it's all over my twitter it's all over your twitter i have a i have a thing called the poetry window now okay and every day i open the poetry window did you see it no i haven't seen it oh i i and i for like 20 minutes i i take

poetry requests and i'm really getting into it wow Wow. And it's really fun. That sounds very therapeutic and nice. And some of the poems are jokes and some of them I try and actually be good. Yeah. But yeah, I've already talked quite a bit about mine, cars and bears and stuff. So I just figured I'd just say that and it's also self-promotion.

Mostly limericks or what are we looking at? Oh, that's a good idea. Hold on a second. Let me just real quick. I'll give you a yesterday. So I said. One joke, one not joke. So I said poetry windows open yesterday and, you know, and so people say like, it's funny

too, because if you ask people to participate, they really do like give me give me poem topics, and they really cough them up, and they get excited. That's great. So they'll say, like, okay, somebody said, do one about Matt Farley, the man who's written and recorded over 20,000 songs in several feature films, please. So I wrote, you know, I titled it Matt Farley, and it's just the poem is Settle Down, Matt. You know, because he's made 20,000 songs and several feature films, please. So I wrote, you know, I titled it Matt Farley, and it's just the poem is Settle Down Matt. You know, because he's made 20,000 or whatever. And then they said, someone said, tea bags. And I did.

I didn't fall for the obvious sex. You know, they're trying to get me to write about sex. But I wrote, What America Thinks Asia Is. Right. And then someone wrote, Mothman. Uh-huh. And I made the poem. So it was titled. I title all then someone wrote Mothman. Uh-huh. And I made the poem. So it's titled, I title all the poems that whatever they say.

So Mothman, the Mothman of Alcatraz? Question mark. Wait. What? Hold on. Someone just said they wanted a poem about Mothman. So the poem is Mothman of Alcatraz? Question mark.

And that was someone from fucking Dublin, and they were like, thank you very much, you made my day. This is so fun, and especially with all this coronavirus and all this nonsense. We have the Birdman of Alcatraz, but we don't... We need the Mothman of Alcatraz. Kafka. Kafka was someone said, so I said, Kafka,

is he the one who turned into a bug as a metaphor? If he is, I can fucking relate. Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat. And I made the poem Stoned Under Fluorescent Light 1995. That's my favorite one. That's amazing.

I was just looking at it. Oh, go ahead. I'll just do one more. Lunar Eclipse. Someone said do a poem about Lunar Eclipse. I said wake me up when there's a lunar eclair hey see that ecl right i love it i'm done you literally mic dropped you mic dropped yeah he mic dropped his phone and his phone shattered uh that's the thing that uh

venues have to be like don't don't do drops. Oh, no. Mic drops are the most entitled fucking thing you could ever do. The worst. White privilege. Right. Mic privilege. I don't know why

I thought that was a joke. All right. Let's talk about Bernie real quick. I was maybe too fatalistic about Bernie's chances because... Jack, were you being

all frowny face about Bernie's chances when we're supposed to say optimistic? Right. I mean, I'm also not like part of any team. I'm just like following the narrative and interpreting it for our listeners. Yeah, okay. But the, I don't know. But the, I don't know, the fact is that it's now one-on-one and Bernie Sanders is going against Joe Biden, it would appear. Joe Biden.

And I think. Sonny is like, Sonny's been. Has he been Biden day one or he's just switching between. No, he started Beto. The most right. Oh, okay. He started Beto because he wanted skateboard president. Skateboard president would have been cool.

The skateboard president all laid out of the race. He went bidden and he hasn't looked back. Right. Your dog is for Biden? My dog has been for Biden for a bit. Holy shit. Twice bidden. Your dog's canceled. Is that something maybe?

I think that absolutely is something. Like, what do we think? What do we think? What about that, maybe? Anyways, the numbers still seem to be running in his direction. All the polls they're taking in the upcoming primary states, the media continues to run in his direction uh but there's also i don't know reason let's i want to play this clip uh it's biden talking

about sanders in 2016 i want to play it for a couple reasons this is when he was being asked, like, about Hillary and why she's having so much trouble against Bernie in a one-on-one heads-up matchup. Yeah. You know, if Bernie Sanders never said he was a democratic socialist, based on what he's saying, people wouldn't be calling him a democratic socialist. That's how he characterizes himself in sort of European terms, the Democratic Socialist parties in Europe. But why is she having trouble? Well, I think that Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real, and he has credibility on it.

And that is the absolute enormous concentration of wealth in a small group of people with the middle class now being able to be shown being left out. So I wanted to play that because I think that's a pretty good summation of... If you can't handle

me at my speaking to a yearning, you don't. So I think that's a good summation of why i think sanders has a better shot at beating trump than biden because i think he's giving voice to something uh real that americans uh want to vote for and like if they if that can be communicated to them, would vote for as opposed to just voting against Trump. But I also hadn't heard him talk four years ago in a while, probably four years. And he, like the difference between that and now. That's what I was going to say.

That is not Joe Biden 2020. Yeah. Very dramatic. Very dramatic. Very dramatic. I always get kind of uncomfortable when people try to armchair diagnose candidates, but there is a difference in the tone of how he is talking. I mean, and I would say, you know, I don't say very much, but I agree with everything Joe Biden just said right there.

I think that was. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to shame Joe Biden for being old. No, I want to shame him for his fucking record. He's been in public life for a long time, so it's not inappropriate to say, I remember how Joe Biden used to speak.

I grew up watching him speak. He did not used to speak in this halting... Slurry. He's not the same person so i'm not saying like i actually know that only because i know that from watching him i didn't i don't even have to like look at clips right i remember the old joe biden he did not stumble the way he does now yeah i don't think it and i don't think it's ageist because everybody involved in politics is super old. It's not ageist because he's running for president.

If he wasn't running for president, I wish him—I don't care. I'm not trying—I hope he has a great life. Yeah, yeah. But he's running for fucking president, and he's the frontrunner at the moment, apparently. And that's insane. Right. I mean, like, I feel like the Goldwater rule now comes up, like, every single election because all the candidates are so fucking old that, like, you know, it becomes this issue. Because that was the same issue with Trump in the 2016 election. Everyone was trying to, like, basically, possibly correctly, like, armchair diagnose him with whatever personality disorder but you you

technically can't do that i don't know it's very confusing you're kind of allowed to i mean you're allowed to form opinions of people who are running for president i mean that's not yeah of course you're not just shaming some you're not yeah you're just this is a person that's gonna impact your life right i mean you're allowed to speculate or not speculate but you're allowed to have opinions that's all yeah i mean like in this case i feel like joe biden's uh record is like so majority abysmal that it's like you don't like it's like you don't even always need to go there because it's just like yeah even even if he was like sharp as a tack i still like don't agree with anything that he wants to do with the country. No. I definitely agree with him more. I would definitely be voting for him and supporting him because I don't want women's reproductive rights taken away.

Right. Yeah. I'll vote for Biden. I will. I'll vote for any Democrat. I'll vote for anyone besides Trump. But I will say I'm not going to be excited about voting for Joe Biden. Yeah, and that's kind of my concern.

And what I think he was giving voice to in that interview is that you can't count on people to vote, to turn out, to vote against something. You have to give them something to vote for. But just back to the conversation about age so there's this recent atlantic article that kind of dug into a question that i think a lot of us have been asking is why are all the candidates so fucking old and you know there there's been like theories thrown out that well the country's aging and people tend to vote more for people their age but you know in the, that's also the case. They're actually among the most disproportionately old voter bases compared to their population.

And they have elected young people. It's just the U.S. where, like, basically all the politicians are old. And they point out that this is actually bigger than just politics. I mean, it's bigger than just the presidency. The average age in Congress is near an all-time high. The House Speaker, House Majority Leader, House Majority Whip, and Senate Majority Leader are all over the age of 75. But they also point out it goes beyond politics.

It's across business, science, finance. But they also point out it goes beyond politics. It's across business, science, finance. Yeah, power is concentrated among the elderly. Among S&P 500 companies, the average age of incoming CEOs has increased by 14 years in the past 14 years. this is is that america is uniquely ignorant of its own uh like that that it's got a lot of kleptocracy in it and like the people who have an inbuilt advantage who like are old are like able to hoard all that shit for themselves because we'll just let them revise their story to be the story that they pull themselves up by the bootstraps because that's just what we want to be true about our country. Yeah.

Yep. Yeah. And also, like, power is intoxicating. One time I was manager of a restaurant for, like, a week, and I realized that I could make everyone's schedule and i felt intoxicated yeah from that yeah can you imagine what you feel like when you have like it's a drug it is a fucking drug it's like and if you have like people are living longer now they're living and they and people do not relinquish power they just it's not something that feels good when you have power it feels so fucking good it's like relinquishing cocaine people don't relinquish cocaine i think that's exactly it and biden's been on cocaine since

cocaine parentheses power since his since he was 20 years old and he's not gonna go anywhere and and and his networks are gonna prop him up because he keeps them in their position of power. The older people get, the older the powerful are going to be because they're just not going to let go. And the powerful have an ability to cheat and change the rules more than anybody else realizes. I think that's the other thing. Like we don't even realize how much these wealthy, powerful politicians and business leaders can change the rules to their own advantage. During that week I managed a restaurant. The steak was called the Crofton steak. Just for an example.

Just for an example. That's just an example. The Crofton chowder. Like that's disgusting anyway. It's so gross. Crofton chowder is really gross. I would order it. What are you goingder is really gross. I would order it. What were you going to say, Jamie?

I would order it. I don't know. I was just literally just emotionally bodied by the concept of Crofton Chowder. No, I just, yeah, I agree with what y'all are saying. I don't know. I'm super bernie and just when i'm like i'm like i can't like hide it really uh but i can't hide it either there's like there is there i don't know i i understand why people were like bummed out at the end of this week like it definitely

like wasn't as positive as you would want it to be but i I think that if you're in a really progressive mindset, it's not, I don't know, the worst thing that could happen is people start to think it's not going to happen because it is, I don't know, there's still a lot of delegates in play. There's been all sorts of bizarro stories about voter suppression where like i mean here in california we were having people in line till fucking midnight that have like

kids um to go home to and you just i mean it's like it's not okay and i think as long as people keep uh reporting those stories responsibly and like saying like hey this isn't okay there are active i mean like you were saying jack like uh you know, you're able to kind of shift the rules a little bit in order to tip the scales in whomever's favor. Yeah, I mean, like working class. I live in a wealthy suburb of Los Angeles, and I waited. It took me 30 minutes to vote. It took, you know, the story that was making,

well, that got a lot of publicity was there was a black man in texas who had it took him seven hours yeah it's absurd who has seven hours right i was at a polling place in a middle class neighborhood in la all day on tuesday and there are people that you know like show up and they're like i'm here you know on my break from work and i have to be the one to tell them hey it's going to be a two- show up and they're like, I'm here on my break from work and I have to be the one to tell them, hey, it's going to be a two hour wait. And they're like, well, I can't vote. Certainly not the working class do not have seven hours to fucking just go stand in line. It's just not. Yeah. And so as long as people keep talking about that and keep defending their like, I don't know.

And there are plenty of countries that have much easier ways to vote. Even though the day off does not necessarily apply to all working class people, there are holidays for voting. They make it easier to just vote online and more secure. I think Estonia is really advanced in that respect. These are just things that would need to change in order to make it more equitable. of changing those things is not going to happen because it's not that they have to go in and like alter things to cheat and then like go twiddle their mustache like they are all they have to do is make sure that change doesn't happen yeah things don't get better exactly like and i mean

even now it's like i'm i'm getting worried with with upcoming primaries of coronavirus has been such a, I mean, rightfully a huge source of alarm, but I feel like it will be used and weaponized to get people to not go to a huge public polling place. And it's just like, I don't know. It's all very fucking sinister, I think, Jack O'Brien. Yeah, I kind of agree, but hopefully people realize that it's the old people who are at most risk for coronavirus and the old people who should stay home from voting. Are you going to talk about-

Good spin. Are you going to talk- That's a great- That will not be very popular, but that's great. Is the Warren appearance on Maddow on your list of things no okay it doesn't matter but that was a crazy uh yeah because like right right now we're not sure if she i mean she might endorse somebody before monday's episode so we're just not sure like yeah oh i just think this recording the fact that she's she and maddow spoke for 10 minutes about b bros. Right. I mean, yeah.

I mean, oof. Yeah, I don't like it. Anyway, but as far as power, yeah, like watching Trump do whatever he wants, you get an idea. Like if you're a senator in Texas or something and you want to make it hard for certain areas to vote, it's not hard to do. And you say like, like hey get rid of this

many polling stations what's the pushback going to be right what happens to a whistleblower yeah that person loses their job it's as simple as like it's like chris christie's bridge gate right that shit can be made to happen very easily very easily because you're watching travel bans go into effect like there's and no way to stop it that i mean like if someone higher up tells you to fucking get rid of polling stations you can complain but everyone else is going to tell you to shut the fuck up and just get rid of them yeah of course and like we when those things are caught you can assume like it's like when you see a rat and they tell you to assume that there are like hundreds close by if you if you see one uh like anytime you see a person who is powerful like cheating getting caught cheating getting

caught breaking the rules like you can assume like that that's so far against the odds that they would ever get caught like watergate must have just been like you know the very tip of the iceberg they 100% make it harder for I mean they they 100% manipulate where voting is easy versus where voting is hard right and it's it's disgraceful in it but it is one of those things where it's like we got to get change the senate we got to we got power who can... And that's why if you are, like, the idea that, like, I realize that there are tons of toxic people online of every sex. But I will just say that if someone's passionate about something, like, that's not toxic. That's just passion. Like, if no one's passionate about joe biden i understand that if people are passionate

about bernie it's like did people tell no i can't say it but i you know it's like if you're fighting for something that really is important like health care for all you're gonna be fired up and that's not it's not like everyone there's no decorum and change i mean there is decorum as far as yelling online but there's no way to determine what's a bot and what's a, I just know a lot of women and men that are very nice and I'm totally going to vote for Biden if I have to. But, but you know, the idea that there are no good Bernie people is just an absurd argument. It's not true. I think that like, uh, with that, I mean, it's like, it's, it's a difficult subject to tackle because it's like yeah we've all been at one

point like the the victim of online bullying it feels like shit it's not good it doesn't make you safe and i'm i would never in any way defend it but i i uh i guess i was uh talking with uh queen maggie mayfish recently and she she was um she's been doing a lot of good work and just sort of contextualizing that a little bit and it's like seven percent of America logs on to Twitter period and if you are involved in like talking to voters that are not on Twitter it's like that is where the focus should be if people are being a dick to you online because of your voting preference that sucks and that's bad and you don't have to engage with it and you don't have to be okay with it but it's like there's 93 percent

of the people are don't have time to be on fucking twitter like 93 percent of people are literally just worried about like can i get my insulin can i just get these basic things done? And that's who we should be keeping in mind. I'm in no way defending online trolls. I'm also annoyed by it, and I feel like it's counterproductive and frustrating to be a part of a movement where there is an element of that. But I do think it's the minority of the community, and most Bernie people are sweetie pies. Yeah, I'm not in any way.

I just know so many good people who, women and men who like Bernie and who are, you know, if anything, I mean, I just like I'm, you know, there is a certain amount of enthusiasm. And I think there should be enthusiasm. I mean, I realize that like everybody, I think there's a little bit of like, stop yelling about Bernie. We get it. You know what I mean? And it's like, and that's not, fuck, not fuck I don't it's I don't know all I mean is people get mad in the in on the you know what fine I just I'm like I just mean like if people are excited it doesn't necessarily mean like that they're trying to be aggressive I think you can just be

excited too you know it's like I think there's a large contingent of people who have a lot of money who are just like. We don't need to be fired up right now. We need to be practical like that doesn't just because someone's fired up doesn't mean that they're like an asshole. Right. But I get that there are assholes, too. So I'm not saying that. But I am saying like if someone about Bernie is like super excited and you're like, we're just going to vote for whoever's like practical, then that is going to be a disconnect. It's frustrating.

Yeah. That's all. I don't even know if that's. No. I'm not saying that fucking online bullying doesn't suck because it does it's bad it's bad like it's it's bad it's bad it does not just exist in for in favor of a single candidate i think that that's like a huge myth that is a problem because it's like there i mean like i've been pretty firmly in bernie's camp for a while and there's plenty of candidates people who will come for you. It's kind of like the nature of the beast.

Yeah. Anytime you express an opinion online, you're going to get someone telling you to fuck yourself. I mean, I just like at the end of the day, I'm like, would I rather have someone like, and it's like, there are no good choices, I guess, in this current situation. But at the end of the day, would I rather someone tweet at me that I can fucking mute and be like, get out of my life. As long as it's not like a serious threat that makes me feel unsafe. I'd rather mute someone than have to like this whole week I've just been on the phone with my friend trying to find her mental health care that she can't afford to have.

Like that is more my concern. So I don't even. Was that on? That wasn't in the doc. Well. No, word for word. Everything you just said. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. 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.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch.

As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash.

Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right?

And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So, all of these.

We have, we thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.

KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.

Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back, and Jamie just got a couple important updates. We're not going to have time to go into the latest report on coronavirus, which is

estimating, and we'll probably get into it tomorrow but estimating between uh what is it 15 million and 68 million dead from this uh pandemic let me impersonate being best case scenario i'll sum up the coronavirus real quick here's my impersonation of a republican man it only affects old people so who gives a shit right or just substitute uh any other descriptor for old and that's their opinion on everything basically so it's gonna kill a lot of people it's going to hit the economy in a way that is eventually not just going to be uh stock prices but is going to affect the people we were talking about who live check to check.

But there are some positive changes. There are some ways that people are attempting to deal with it. And I'm not talking about Matt Goetz's fucking shitty joke gas mask on the floor of Congress. That guy really, honestly. Get a fucking life. I know. Or don't uh or don't yeah just remain the worst but you were saying that uh i just got an email from megabus yes coronavirus this is good i'm on the megabus mailing list um because i i take megabus

and i don't have a driver's license oh Oh, my gosh. What a weird time to cough. Oh, no. Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, so I'm on the Megabus mailing list. It's also just... Sounds like you're on the Corona mailing list to me. And they send out good emails. Last year, they did... Last year, they did a specialentine's day where it was like

you could get married on a megabus enter our contest holy shit that's so funny i entered and i lost but oh my god did you attend the wedding of the person i'm more i wasn't invited if you can believe bullshit uh so oh my god that's funny. So more somber correspondence. So it's basically just a list of Megabus for the first time promising customers that they will clean the bus. But that's a huge deal. If Megabus is cleaning the bus. If Megabus is cleaning the bus, maybe airplanes can start doing that. They don't clean the buses? No.

Like normally? Really? No, no. It's stinky, stinky in there. Okay. And they're saying stuff like they haven't been doing this previously. We have been and will continue, okay, to wash and wipe down all of our buses on a daily basis. A daily?

Daily basis. I mean, if there's anyone who's ever worked for Megabus, let me know if I'm totally off base here. But we are providing individual hand sanitizers to all of our employees. You're like, yikes, did they not have access to that before? That seems dangerous. Disinfectant wipes will be placed on all buses. So high traffic areas, handrails and hand services can be wiped down regularly. Disinfectant wipes will be made.

I think that they're kind of like do it yourself. Do it yourself. Just a behind the scenes note that this story is Jack is sanitizing his hands right now. Disinfectant wipes will be made available in common work areas. While en route with passengers, all efforts will be made to allow as much fresh air as possible into the bus. So it's serious is what I'm saying. If Megabus is emailing me about something other than a wedding, it's actually really serious. All I'm saying

is that Megabus are so dirty that everybody in here is sanitizing their hands just from hearing about them. I do love the Megabus. Airlines should start doing that too because that's the main way shit gets passed on airplanes is that they don't

clean the surfaces in airplanes and I think they should also start rolling shit gets passed on airplanes is that they don't clean the surfaces in airplanes. And I think they should also start rolling down the windows on airplanes. What about gyms? What about gyms? I used to go to Planet Fitness. Oh, that's a good question. Planet Fitness does not clean stuff. Well, LA is officially a state of emergency right now.

So does everyone have coronavirus rations at their house? Yeah, two weeks. Yeah, us too. Yeah. But now I'm just kind of eating it at night. I have one spinach turkey Swiss wrap from Trader Joe's. Chris, you got to get some supplies. I have chocolate covered espresso beans.

It could just be you and a bear. I'm going to be the most fucking excited. Cold brew. I have tons of cold brew. That's good. All right, what do we need to do here? be you and a bear. I'm going to be the most fucking excited. Cold brew. I have tons of cold brew. That's good. Alright, what do we need to do here? I actually have a question. Where's the corona? The rations are in case they quarantine us,

right? Right. They're like, you can't leave your house, in which case we would be stuck there and have to eat whatever we have in the house. I'm going to pee in a jar first of all. I'm going to start licking the walls. I'm licking the walls. I already licked the walls.

I think that, yeah, the way I've been thinking about it is just like, I'm like, oh, I feel like people are prone to panic, and I wouldn't be surprised if we got quarantined, even if there wasn't a huge need for it. So I got a bunch of food for me and my boyfriend we got some extra pet food and then there's also like like uh sorry i have i'm sorry they don't want me to cough in their mouth is anyone ready every time i look at jamie i see the one of those what's the name of that animal that started the coronavirus they're bats bats

no no it didn't start a bat it Is it bats? I thought it was something that looks like a turtle but it's a... What is it? It's a what? Yeah. A pangolin? You're just mispronouncing pangolin.

The more you cough the more I see a pangolin sitting in your chair. But everyone should get some extra food especially if they have any homeless neighbors so you can bring them some food.

What kind of food? Beans? It's like... No, you could still use your fridge. We kind of food? Beans? It's like, just like, no, you could still use your fridge. We just got a bunch of pasta and our favorite pasta sauce and like for enough for two weeks. I got a bunch of Campbell's chunky and I'm like, I just like Campbell's chunky.

Campbell's stock, by the way, is just shooting through the roof. It's an excuse for you. Campbell's chunky. Isaac, we're going to need to get a tremendous amount of Campbell's chunky. By the way, you know you're not allowed to have that. Isaac, we're going to need to get a tremendous amount of Campbell's Chunky. By the way.

You know you're not allowed to have that. Well, in this case, it's important. I got side-eyed for eating one of the Campbell's Chunky's at a turn last night. He's like, oh, I thought that was part of our fucking rations. Oh, my God. Oh, you said side-eyed. I thought you said cyanide. I forgot.

I was like, Jesus Christ. You guys play for keeps at your house all the time. I forgot. Chunky's ready to eat, too. You don't have to even heat that shit up. We were talking about- You should still heat it up, though. Oh, man.

I used to drink. You don't have to heat shit up. I used to cook frozen pizza in my mouth. I'm not kidding. I remember being drunk and being like, I'll just heat it in my mouth. Each part I heated with my mouth and then ate. Pete Sickles. We were talking about how we shouldn't go into depth about Warren because who knows,

you might have endorsed somebody by the time we hear this. But the coronavirus story is probably moving faster than any of them. Apple just told all of their employees to work from home after Microsoft and Facebook did the same thing. I've heard just from a friend that Amazon Prime is doing the same thing. From another friend, an undisclosed company is doing it. That's a good story. A hot tea from Chris Hampton.

Do you really? You have an undisclosed company, but you're not allowed to say. This person told me an undisclosed company is doing an undisclosed company. An undisclosed person told me an undisclosed company was doing an undisclosed thing. Well, also. In more hopeful news, Katy Perry is peregnant with Orlando Bloom's baby. She's blooming with peregnancy.

Peregnancy. Woo! She revealed this in a four-minute music video that ends with her turning to the side and cradling her baby bump. That sure fucking is. That's so annoying. Sure is.

Good for her. Yes. Great for her. I'm so happy for both of them. I love, love. I love a slap. I love love. I love a bump reveal.

Yes. Speaking of things we love getting together and making something beautiful, let's talk about another brand collab. We need to get like a theme song for brand collab of the day. We'll work on that when Miles is back from his taste testing tour of airplane door handles. Yeah. Is he licking the surface?

He's just tasting. Yeah. It's like a tasting tour of all the different door handles in airports across America. So brand collab of the day, Jamie, you brought this to our attention. Yeah, I mean, my finger has been fucking hovering over the place order for about 18 hours now. Yeah, it's Peeps X Crocs. Right. Peeps X Crocs. Right. This is a-

Peeps the marshmallow treat. Easter famous Peeps treat. See, the thing is- I'm not famous. I'm Easter famous. With collabs, you're just like, collabs, I feel like it's such a sensitive- Sorry. That was dumb.

No, Jack. Good. No, he's great. Killing it. Killing it with Miles gone. Like, I gotta really bring the comedy now and I'm just like inserting all these bad dad jokes. Alright, go ahead.

So, I don't know, okay. So, I guess I just want to take the temp in the room. Is Peeps Crocs, Is that a shark jump? Is that too stupid? What does it mean? What are you even talking about?

Okay, okay. I'll show you a picture. It's like peeps inside of, like, it looks like this. It's a croc. Croc you can eat? No, it's crocs with peeps on top of them. Oh. Oh, I can't read your tone.

Yeah. What do you think? I think that those are ugly. Yeah. Well, Crocs are ugly. So Crocs are ugly in general. Are peeps making the situation worse? No, Crocs are okay.

I mean, Crocs at this point I think are kind of like ugly cool. Right. Okay. But like peeps on them just seems too specific. Like who? I was going to say we should describe them to people. It looks like they just glued three

mini peeps on top of the crocs. They're like crocs charms. Are they going to have every kind of crocs now? Because I like other things besides peeps. Do they have crocs with nickels glued to them? Nickels? That's a thing you like? Yeah, I like nickels.

Like old nickels. I guess a thing you like? Yeah. I like nickels. Yeah, like old nickels. Okay. Old nickels Crocs. I guess you can make those at home. Everyone's telling me not to buy the Crocs. I feel like it's something that I want, but also it's like if I was wearing them, I would feel bad.

Yeah, and rightly so. Yeah, and then people would be like, oh, what is that? But also like super on brand, but maybe too on brand? I'm like, I think maybe too far. If someone came out, if I saw someone wearing those, I would think they were trying to start a fight. Right.

Okay, fine. I'm closing the tab. I'm closing the tab. I don't know. I was going to say that if they had integrated a little bit better. I think you could wear them. If anyone could pull them off. Oh, definitely. I don't want to have to constantly be accounting for them now. You are the one person who should own that. No, I want to be the person that's just like, yeah, these are peeps Crocs.

Right. I feel I invested myself in it. Well, it's also like they didn't do a great job with integrating the peeps into the Crocs. I invested myself in peeps Crocs. I'm knee deep in peeps into the crocs i invested myself in peeps crocs i'm knee deep in peeps crocs investment i'm all about bernie and peeps crocs yes there so what i think i'm gonna do now is i'm gonna hold out for what i i is is going to be my collab purchase i've never purchased at a sneaker drop before uh but the duncan donuts x sockany right uh collab is gonna be i missed it last year i

tried so hard i fucked it up i ordered i ordered shoes but it was for children um and then i was like oh no i don't want these dunkin donuts baby shoes and then the rest were gone um so this year i'm gonna do it dunkin donuts what do those look like those look look fucking cool. Do they have just a drawing of a donut on them? If a pickup artist were the Peep Crocs, would he be Peep Crocing? Like Peek. These are the Dunkin' Donuts. That's been the show. Oh my God. Those are pretty.

That's incredible. These are pretty cool. That's nice. You got to check these. That's well done. Oh yeah, those rule. See, they didn't just glue a donut to them. No, so that would be a YD. Yeah, that's nice. You got to check these. That's well done. Oh, yeah, those rule. See, they didn't just glue a donut to them. No, so that would be a YD.

Yeah, that would be dope as fuck. Okay, hopefully they have a payment installment. I like that. Chris Crofton, it's been a pleasure having you, as always. Where can people find you and follow you? You can find me at the, first of all, thank you so much. It's so fun to be on this show, always. And I'm so grateful for it.

It's been one of the most fun things that's ever happened to me, really. It's a really fun thing to do. And I'm very grateful for it. You're one of the most fun things that's ever happened to the show. No, you are. No, you. No, Jamie is.

No, Dan is. Dan the engineer is. Straight up. Dan's like, straight up I am. So you can find me at the Crofton Show on Twitter, or you can follow me at Chris underscore Crofton on Instagram, or you can read my Advice King column on just Google the Advice King. Or you should go listen to my soft rock record, Hello It's Me,

which is a music record. Hello It's Me. On Spotify. And they can watch the Tune Into the Crofton Show on CBS, right? Totally. Yeah. Next season. And it's about me and my crazy family.

Yeah. Three camera sitcom. Is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying? Oh, yeah. Every time I'm on the show I always forget this segment and so it's always I'm always dumb during it. But I guess I would say

that I retweeted gosh I don't really know. So you guys go first. Okay. Jamie. Hi. Jamie Loftus here. Hey. You can find me on Twitter.com at Jamie Loftus help or Hey! You can find me on Twitter.com at Jamie Loftus Help, or Instagram at Jamie Christ Superstar.

If you live in L.A., I've got a show coming up. I'm workshopping a new show called Jamie Loftus. Jamie Loftus is based on Mary Hartman. Mary Hartman is on March 19th at 9 p.m. at the Lyric Hyperion. I'm still figuring it out. You should come and let me know if it sucks or not. And the tweet I want to do

is from at Sam Gavin LA that is just a roundabout way of introducing a story we didn't have time for that I feel like I wish it was my idea. So, International Women's Day is coming up. So you know that there's going to be all of these. Has it already passed?

I'm a bad woman. I don't know. I'm canceled as a woman. I don't think so. International Women's Day, I believe, is Sunday, March 8th. That's yesterday. It's kind of. It was, and we all had an amazing one.

So there's all these like very cursed corporate endorsements. It's like when Bank of America has a rainbow logo in June. My favorite one

this year, because I did a show where my name was Shell Gasoline Sandwich for a year, is Shell Gasoline has added a little apostrophe

between the E and the LL at their gas stations for International Women's Day. She'll gasoline. She will. She will gasoline. She will. Like, yes, absolutely, queen.

Go off fracking. We stand a fracking queen. I do stand a fracking queen. And the press release says, quote, Shell is becoming Sheil for International Women's Day, showing that just by adding an apostrophe to their name, small gestures can motivate and deliver big messages. So if you're a fellow woman that was motivated to get into fracking over the weekend,

you have whatever the fuck this is to think. I wonder if there is a beauty pageant somewhere in Pennsylvania that is Miss Fracking Queen. I'm sure there is. Yeah, Queen Fracking. I would watch that documentary. Yeah. In Nevada, there was a Miss Nuclear America or something like that. That sounds dope.

That sounds dope. That used to be an attraction that you could go to Las Vegas and look out on the horizon and see mushroom clouds as they tested nuclear weapons. West Virginia used to have Miss Blacklung. What? Blacklung. Oh, my God. It's what you get from coal mining. They didn't really have that. Well, I mean, big oil is feminism, so just keep that in mind.

That's incredible. That's so dumb. I can't even believe it. And they probably did that just so they could mess your show up. Yeah, I know. So I figured out what I was going to do. Sorry, Jack. Just as far as tweets, I like Jesse Case's tweets a whole lot.

He tweeted, why is it called the nudist colony? Is there a weird nude country trying to establish nude trade routes? Have their nude resources run low in their nude homeland? Yes. And he also tweeted, don't be judgmental. Who amongst us hasn't spent $500 million to win over 71 American Samoans? us hasn't spent $500 million to win over 71 American Samoans.

Referencing Bloomberg winning American Samoa. Yes. Some tweets I've been enjoying more than Bloom dud. Bloomberg straight ahead. If I won't get an explosion, I'm going to get my own. Somebody has to have done Bloomberg straight ahead.

Let's see. Cola Scola tweeted, a white woman was coughing on the train and everyone got off because she seemed like someone who would like Italy. And Jordan Morris tweeted, beautiful, aren't they? Attributed to me, to anyone who looks in my fridge and notices my drawer full of fast food dip and sauces that I keep for home use. and notices my drawer full of fast food dip and sauces that I keep for home use. And then Gary Steingart just tweeted, I would never touch my disgusting face with my awful hands. That's a great way to stay healthy is low self-esteem.
