Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
Every great player needs a foil.
I know I'll go down in history.
People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.
Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
Listen to the making of a rivalry.

2024 oh yeah wednesday the 13th watch out people for jason voorhees yeah that's cousin i love that
was the first people on wednesday the 13th first draft of that script was wednesday the 13th um
it's also hey it's national dermatologistel Day. Like, just the concept of a jewel.
Not my girl.
Ooh, sorry, but ACAB does include canine police veteran dogs.
But it's National Canine Veterans Day.
It's National Coconut Tort Day, National Good Samaritan Day, National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day.
Oh, no, not on Wednesday the 13th.
I'm not trying to have Jason pull up to my fucking place. National Earmuff Day. Yeah, no. Not on Wednesday the 13th. I'm not trying to have Jason pull up to a mock book in place. National Ear Muff
Day. Yeah. Great. Good
times. Is that like
from old school? Like
National Ear Muffs Day? Like they just really
liked that joke? Dude, the
photo is like of a boxer.
Wait, what was Hooch from
Turner and Hooch? What breed of dog was that?
You know what I mean? Like that orange. Oh, yeah.
Big sloppy boy.
I think the technical name
is Big Sloppy Boy. Yeah, Big Sloppy
Boy. But the photo is a Big Sloppy Boy
with earmuffs on.
Oh, really? Yeah, I don't know why.
Nothing makes fucking sense, man.
Nothing makes sense anymore. The one
thing that makes sense is that
it's National Coconut Tort Day.
Yeah, that shit looks
good yeah you like coconut oh i love coconut yeah yeah yeah it's it's weird how divisive it is i
think people don't like the texture people like the flavor but then when they eat actual like the
fruit of a coconut it's the cilantro of sweet treats like I think there's just something inherent,
like genetic, that divides people on that shit.
Or maybe it's nurture.
That's a question for the ages or for Zeitgeist.
Let us know.
Do some people just have bad experiences with coconut?
What is it?
Anyways, my name is Jack O'Brien,

Welcome back. Miles, we're thrilled to be

piece of shit.
As you said to him

for some reason,
a brilliant comedian,
writer,
actor,
who's brought you comedy albums,
such as the Blake album,
stuffed boy,
live from the pandemic,
12 years of voicemails from Todd glass to Blake Wexler and his new special daddy,
long legs.
Very funny.
You can go watch it right now on YouTube.
You must go watch it right now on youtube you must go watch it right
now please welcome the hilarious the chaotic the riding a recumbent bike in short shorts
hey this is blake wexler aka we're gonna get to know you a little bit better but first we're
going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're going to be talking about today. Guys, thank you for having me.
Hey, man, that's fucked up.
Yeah, dude.
That's my AKA.
That's how people refer to me.
You just threw Jack.
Nobody refers to me as that, man.
Constantly.
You haven't seen me in a while.
Are you mocking me right now?
No.
No, you're the mouth guy.
You're the South by Mouth guy.
You always are.
You always are.
Yeah, I am the South by Mouth guy.
What were you thinking?
You just came.
Were you like tossing and turning in your bed this morning and that's in your head?
Weird, weird time change.
Yeah.
You know, there was an alarm at my house.
Like somebody opened our garage in the middle of the night.
Freaked my wife out.
So we're, you know, We're going on a little bit
of sleep and that's what bubbled
to the surface of my brain.
Then you're talking about how you're philating the whole town of Austin.
Philating the whole town of Austin,
man. The tip of your tongue
and the back of your throat.
Did you ever go
garaging when you were younger?
Was that a term that you were aware of?
I'm not, no.
I guess parents, or I guess people now our age, grownups would keep beer in their garage and you would break into a garage.
I do know about this from C.I.L. City.
Yes.
That was the easiest way.
The Philly suburb of C.I.L. City.
Yeah.
Wait, so it was like a thing where it's like yo they have a garage fridge
with beer let's fucking bust in there and take the fucking beer it's it's interesting i think
you're even taking it a step further of uh research where there was no surveillance it was assumed
it was oh there's a garage yes there must be beer kept in it because a garage is generally cooler
i think like before you refrigerate it, people would just keep
beer in their garage, but
I guess they don't have a garage. But if I did, I probably
wouldn't keep it. I would keep it in my basement.
Keep it in my gun safe.
We went gun safing as well.
We would rob people of their firearms.
To be white.
Have a bad time.
Whimsically breaking a garage for beer.
Yeah.
It's not technically part of a domicile.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I was a, you know, 17-year-old in Kentucky who just wanted nothing more than to drink at all times,
I can't believe it didn't occur to me.
Like, I'm actually disappointed in myself that we didn't do that.
We just went to the liquor stores and played Hey Buddy, which is so humiliating.
Yeah.
It's like, hey, man.
Hey, come on, man.
Hey, I'll suck your dick, man.
Come on.
They call me the South by Mouth guy.
They call me.
What?
Get the fuck away from me.
You know my nickname, bro?
All right, whatever.
Wait.
Man. Get the fuck away from me. You know my nickname, bro? All right, whatever. Wait. Man, like, Jack, if you had a time machine and you can write one wrong or change one decision in your life,
Yeah, that's the one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can go back in time and tell my teenage self,
Hey, there's this thing called garaging you're going to learn about in a few years because your cousins in Seattle City do it.
Yeah.
Or actually, more likely, your aunt and uncle, like uncle tell us that it's out of control in Seattle City.
The youths are out of control.
Fully out of control. Anyway, shout out
to Seattle City, man. What a town.
Say it.
Blake, you already
said the thing that I say right now.
So fuck you, man. Say it again.
You have a job to do. No one wants to work anymore.
Pull yourself up.
First, tell listeners listeners the thing we talked about.
We're talking about Boeing
because a whistleblower died in a very suspicious way
and people are intrigued.
This is fucked up.
People got the phrase Epstein trending on Twitter,
which I get that this is a very suspicious suicide in quotes but uh do we really
have to compare this poor man to jeffrey epstein in death like i could like what a horrible horrible
fate so we'll talk about that we're gonna look at trump's hitler fandom which is real like the comparisons are obviously you know not like everywhere like
you just can't shake them but like he is openly has been openly a fan of hitler i guess not openly
but like not really trying to lie very well yeah i mean we always knew some things and yeah you know
yeah well so well hopefully hopefully people will you know maybe people
come around now after hearing this i think so uh we'll talk about the pentagon's report on ufos
and we'll ask the question on everybody's mind did millennials kill chewing gum too
we did yeah i think so not my ass man i got let me see how many packs of trident how many packs do you
pack three three packs well fucking three packs of core over here okay three packs of curse all
right but before we get to any of it blake we do like to ask our guests what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are you sick freak well this disgusting pervert speaking right now uh
jp morgan's nose and because it was always like a reference of something bulbous and just like oh
this guy's got a real like jp morgan nose right now but like i didn't understand what the hell was actually going on with that guy's nose and it turns out there's two issues one his nose was purple which is you know
generally something that you would recognize right away about a person which is also interesting
yeah it's bad sorry so he had rosacea which then i believe turned into something called rhinophyma and which is caused like i guess the
deformity isn't a nice term but like caused it to be warped not that that's yeah much better
yeah so it's fucked and i do have rhinophyma i do have a rule of thumb where i never wanted disease
in which the prefix is that of a beast from the
serengeti it's generally something to avoid but yeah that's what was happening with his nose and
it's interesting too because most of those photos were black and white from back then and yet but
you can like see the gin blossoms you yes yes because what is that just from alcohol abuse
um i think rosacea no but i always figured it was from alcohol abuse? I think rosacea.
No, but I always figured it was from alcohol abuse.
No, I'm just meant in his in his case, in his case. Yeah, I always assumed that any nose that look like this had some complications from alcohol abuse.
But yeah, it is cocaine.
It was all the cocaine he did.
Cocaine and how bankers do now. Yeah and facilitating uh the finances of the slave trade
and manifested in that awesome look yeah it's just evil like bursting through his face i do
feel like sometimes just like the all the soul turmoil just like yeah manifesting out of his
nose and yeah yeah uh man jp wait how did you what what what even spurred that on it's
because you just heard tell of people talking about jp morgan's nose and like let me let me
just check this out for myself yeah it's it's one of those things that you take for granted in life
you know that you just have these references to pull whenever your little heart desires but
why why the reference how did the reference come about? Why did his nose look so messed up?
So that's why, apparently.
I'm a thinker.
I'm more of a thinker.
I'm like into history and shit.
It's history mostly.
Yeah, like learning.
There's a Today I Learned here.
Today I learned that J.P. Morgan
was sensitive about his nose.
It was inflamed and
purple due to rhinophyma he hated being photographed and always made sure photographers
touched up his nose so the shit that we have right now of his nose is the result of a propaganda
campaign to make his nose look better he put his best nose forward in those photos. Yes. It's, wow.
That shit must have been gnarly in person.
Grotesque.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, man.
You hate to see it for such a good guy, too.
I agree.
Just didn't deserve it.
That's right.
What's something you think is underrated?
Underrated upside-down pizza,
which is sauce on top, cheese on bottom mango and mango still yeah but even more so
like like mango and mango i feel like is strips of sauce does that make sense yeah yeah yeah where
this is a blanket more like a quilt of sauce where i'm when it comes to pizza i to me i know this is
uh controversial i don't want to start
a whole goddamn thing with you too you may fucking blow the shit out of everything I say but I do
like sauce as sauce is my favorite part of a pizza so I like let's give me that first and then we can
go from there with the cheese and whatever else or what have you but I've been seeing it more and
more it's been popping up in philly it
was like a thing for a while and now i've seen it around new york and other places so upside down
pizza i do think the sauce is the most important part of the pizza it's the thing that is yeah that
determines that the variability i feel like right yeah it's why Papa John's fucking sucks. Yeah, it's why Papa John's fucking sucks.
It's why, I mean,
obviously, there are three ingredients.
Two of them can really go
in a lot of different directions.
I mean, crust is maybe more important
than sauce.
Now that I agreed with you out loud,
my body rejected it.
I was like, no, Blake's got to be gone. Blake's got to be wrong and gone. I'm going to kick you out loud my body rejected it and was like no no blake's got to be gone
but blake's got to be wrong and gone i'm gonna take you out but i wish you would try i wish you
would try i'm gonna i'm gonna team up with that room service person you didn't meet me in long
island city are you kidding me no you didn't tip him that's not true what three percent is it tipping
jack it's so annoying to have to figure out the 3% every time.
I know.
Because it's such a weird percentage.
Yeah, you don't have to ask the person either.
Hey, what's 3% of this?
Hey, guys.
Does anybody know what that is?
What a cool man.
The cheese bonding with the crust is also kind of of i think a thing that i i like about that
you're not having the shit slide off huge yeah that's that's a big deal of a slice yeah yeah
but i i kind of like it manco manco style where it's like all kind of mixed in together a little
bit you know what i mean well you're a moderate you're in the middle i am and i i respect joe
biden's america i know you that's why yeah why. Yeah. Another thing we agree on. I respect J.P. Morgan's America. What is what's something you think is overrated? Overrated Dr. Bronner's soap. Oh, it's the first of all, if you if you've ever read that thing, he's a maniac. The guy's crazy. Yeah. And crazy person. Absolutely nuts. And another thing absolutely nuts and another thing it's a very
pot it's very expensive soap too like for a jug like that's like 14 16 bucks and what's three
percent so 16 and it also i don't like how it cools you where if you put on dr bronner's as a
body wash it gives you like a cooling sensation, which will then make me turn
up the heat in the shower. And then I get out of the shower and I start sweating, which completely
defeats the whole purpose of the entire experience. So Dr. Bronner's starts sloughing off your body.
It does. I prefer to put the soap on my skin. Yeah. I believe that would indicate that Dr.
Bronner's is mentholated a term that i learned
from miles when i complained about this very thing oh yeah yeah yeah yeah when the cooling
sensation of it's like a cheap cheap hit i feel like it's like a trick that i got my head and
shoulder shampoo from tj maxx one time uh inadvertently bought some mentholated head
and shoulder shampoo and it's
you know head and shoulders likes to brag about their tingle and this thing was like more of a
subtle burn that you know and when when you're talking shampoo goes all over your body which
not not what i'm looking for when i get out of the shower. Oh, you don't upside down it? You don't do a headstand in the shower?
A one-handed
headstand while I shampoo.
While I lather.
You just drag an inversion table
into your shower and you just get in there and you're like,
honey, turn the water on.
Flip me, flip me, flip me back.
Oh, fuck, I'm waterboarding.
I'm waterboarding myself.
Soap got in my nose.
The Dr. Bronner's label is the thing that it evokes the most.
And it's weird because it's become influential.
I feel like a lot of labels now, the word count is way too high.
Skyrocketed.
Yeah, the Lovecorn label.
Lovecorn is now in this hotel room that i'm staying and
do you guys know hello just so you know we're delicious crunchy corn love comma corn and then
there's like a whole fucking essay written by the product that you're eating in in the thing
and like we believe it's like a combination of like cutesy, like memeing shit.
And then like those we believe signs from people.
The right at Lovecorn, we believe that Twitter is X.
And yeah, you do that funny prank or you say it's funny.
I think it's disrespectful where you go through all the things at the mini bar and then you you eat them all and then fill them up with pennies.
Is that is that you? Yeah, you fill up the love corn with all the pennies like yeah there you go
asshole yeah take that enjoy that uh i don't know i saw it and then and then when i go down to the
front desk to check out i'm like i saw the cleaning lady eating all the products you know
blame it on her so i get away with it. I'm a monster.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whoa,
dude,
the Bronner family is kind of wild.
This guy's story is fucking wild.
Yeah.
The dude escaped Germany in 1928.
He's a Jewish immigrant.
His family.
Happy now,
Blake was killed.
Let him finish.
Let's see what else he did.
His family was killed in the Holocaust.
And then he escaped a mental institution in 1945 to start his business.
I'm glad I called him crazy.
That's good, too.
That's going to be really well.
Glad I called him crazy.
You didn't know.
You didn't know.
You didn't know.
A term I shouldn't use anyway.
The label does remind me of some signs you will see from, you know, like the conspiracy theory signs that you'll see in certain places.
Or people have, like, bumper stickers that are this text dense.
And you're like, yes.
What did you say about mRNA?
Never mind.
We're seeing this raise to the rise up as a as a labeling strategy.
Just like just flood them with word count.
And they'll they'll be so dizzy they have to buy your product i feel like
we're walking into alex schmidt uh territory right now of getting into the labels of various products
yeah but yeah that's that's a market he's cornered so i'm gonna stop you right there
yeah yeah i i actually i created alex schmidt is that what you're gonna say
yeah yeah i take credit credit for just his existence.
He wins all me.
I was going to say that I recently
opened my refrigerator
and we have
the baking soda
in there. And on the
label of the baking soda, they
offer you a chance to, like,
join the community of, like, baking soda fans,
like, fans of their baking soda,
and there's, like, a website and a phone number.
I just, like, I really,
I kind of want to chase that thread,
like, all the way.
Just, like, meet the other people in the community.
Just, like, kind of get a sense of, like,
what they're all about.
Yeah.
But, yeah, people who are just, like, devoted to baking soda. in the community just like kind of get a sense of like what they're all about yeah but yeah people
who are just like devoted to baking soda arm and hammer or is that who makes that yeah yeah yeah
that's oh man dude this guy there i didn't realize all that text is like his spiritual philosophy on
the dr bronner's label oh yeah and then it goes deep man there's like a whole documentary about his spiritual
teachings and how we need to we gotta we gotta stick together on spaceship earth all right yeah
all right there's also a section about how 9-11 was an inside job michael so there was
other son michael began working in 2000 michael brauner assumed presidency after the company or
of the company in 2015 and promoted his brother davidder to the position of CEO, which stands for Cosmic
Engagement Officer. Yes!
Finally. Hell yeah,
dude. I don't know if this is a
Behind the Bastards episode or
an Alex Schmidt episode, but
it's a Daily Talk
Geist episode. I think that's the rest
of this episode is what it is.
Oh, no, dude. And now they're like, they're all about
supporting therapeutic use of MDMA for PTSD. And now they're like, they're all about supporting therapeutic use
of MDMA for PTSD.
Okay, they're vibey.
They're vibey.
I got to know more.
I want to know more.
Blake, this was your overrated?
This is something you hate.
Yeah, well, I guess now
it's just something
I don't understand.
Yeah, now we're confused.

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. And we're back and man i can't wait to see how blake fucking sides with boeing on this next story you know we already know oh god how did you get to south by southwest mouth man huh what type of
plane did you take was it a lockheed i uh hitchhiked all the way down If you know what I mean It was a Boeing But only two wheels fell off
Alright, so Boeing whistleblower
Has died in a very suspicious way
So he was a former employee
Turned whistleblower
John Barnett died of quote
Self-inflicted gunshot wound
The suspiciousness of his death
Led to the phrase as mentioned
Epstein trending on Twitter Just all the worst fates that you can suffer in this world.
Right.
Like, not fair.
Please, let's not do that to him.
Just say it's suspicious without comparing him to famous international pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Navalny would have been still inappropriate, but more, at least not negative, at least not a pedophile jeffrey epstein navalny would have been still inappropriate but more right at least not
negative at least not a pedophile island person yeah you know no but as we found out later uh
vile islamophobe oh is that true oh oh shit god damn it i'm over two today aren't i no no it
happens you know you're like you're like all right because american media be like hey he doesn't he
he doesn't like our enemy let's look past the other stuff huh yeah no 100 it's also i was laughing too at your reactions to um jack
talking about jack's whistleblowing of his own and i think we were talking before where we might
need to have uh jack have a snack if he starts confusing words but we we did not talk about
why jack might need a snack if he just starts talking about the legend of the South
by mouth guy. Yeah, that might be the flag. That's waving. Hey, I'm happy with this. And when I
finally eat later on, I am in no way going to plummet back to reality and be like, oh my God,
Justin, what happened? Cut all that out. Why'd, why'd you let me say that? Good God.
You should have told me to eat something.
But, you know, I'll sleep in the bed I made.
So he worked for Boeing for 32 years as a quality manager of a plant, which quality management, as we've discovered, is something that Boeing has had some problems with. And in 2019, he told the media that Boeing had been, quote, deliberately fitting substandard
parts to aircraft on the production line.
This included faulty oxygen systems so that one out of four breathing masks would not
work in an emergency.
Good God.
Those were just like ornamental, the breathing masks.
Give that one to the kid before you put your own on.
That's pretty important.
That's not one of those things that you can just like get by.
Like the buttons that are actually not doing anything,
like the crosswalk buttons or like the door close buttons on elevators.
You know how those like are just there to make you feel like you're doing
something? An illusion of control. You can't do that
with oxygen masks, I don't think.
No, you kind of need the oxygen. I think those are pretty important.
Yeah. They would occasionally
use parts from scrap bits.
They would
build planes using
shit from the garbage.
Allegedly.
Allegedly. Allegedly.
Yes.
As our writer, J.M., points out,
that's how George Costanza would build
an airplane.
Pulling shit from the trash.
It is
suspicious because he's
like, this is in the midst of him
in the middle of a lawsuit
against Boeing. For, quote, denigrating his character and hampering his career.
And he wasn't done testifying.
That's why I think that's what makes it so murky.
And then his own lawyer said he died from an alleged self-inflicted gunshot wound.
So he's in Charleston for this case against boeing conducting legal
interviews staying at a hotel and he was found in his car in the hotel garage so he literally
died well in the process of giving testimony yeah it's suspicious yeah murky murky murky stuff and i mean when you see that i
don't know i mean like you look at what a corporation like that stands to lose with
everyone like you know coming down on them for their terrible business practices it's
god 2024 what a time this is like and it's like days after we were talking like that fucking wheel just fell off a boeing plane in san francisco just on takeoff and you're like there is also a news report where
like the pilot allegedly like lost control of a boeing plane and like after after the flight he
was like yeah the everything in front of me just like shut down. And the plane plummeted so fast that people were bloodied.
They hit the roof of the plane.
Yeah, 50 people or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
It's cool, though.
We got to hurry up this recording so I can go catch our flight.
Yeah, this is a good free flight.
As a palate cleanser, I don't know if this is a palate cleanser or not,
but when I visit my parents in Charleston, that Boeing factory is right next to the airport. So you drive by it and see. I think he worked on some of the Dreamliners, you know, like those massive planes that Boeing's building. So you it shows all the shit that the TSA people catch that you're not allowed to bring through.
And it's just like six handguns, a huge knife, like just all a sword.
Like it's all this weird shit.
Right.
Yeah.
It's almost like a museum.
Nice catch.
I love that.
Gold star for Terry this week.
Nice catch. Yeah. Good hands. Good hands. Nice catch. I love that. Gold star for Terry this week. Nice catch.
Yeah.
Good hands, good hands, good hands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is the hands team.
Exactly.
For the onside kick.
Well, thank you for adding that just to show us another way we could die on the flight today.
No, they catch it.
They catch it.
They catch it.
Nice catch, T.O.
Nice catch.
they catch it they catch it nice catch teo nice catch there's so many people like can't remember not to bring a gun on an airplane that is always amazing to me well we can't i carry it so often
it's almost like a part of me you know it's like not bringing a wrist it's like a pack of gum for
some people yeah oh i should leave my wrists at home? Yeah. Oh, okay. Literally don't even know how to do that.
So I'm getting on this plane with a blammer.
All right.
So Trump's Hitler fandom has not been a secret for basically, I don't know, since the 90s.
But it's like one of those things that's just a part of what we know about him.
But it's like, you know, because's just a part of what we know about him.
But it's like, you know, because our brain works the way it does.
It's just like we just were like, OK, yeah, he's like he's into Hitler. And like it it just bears revisiting every once in a while, especially as he becomes more and more openly Hitlerish, like dictatorial in his policies and everything he's saying. It's not surprising,
given what we know about his actual affinity for actual Hitler. So John Kelly, a hero,
made headlines by revealing, my hero, in this household, we believe John Kelly is a hero.
Is a hero. Misunderstood.
Recently made headlines by revealing in a new interview that his old boss, Donald Trump,
routinely praised dictators.
What?
No, that's probably not the thing that was surprising people.
But he did shed a little more light on how much Trump loves Hitler, repeatedly defended
Hitler, who he would say did some good things like how he rebuilt the economy also
expressed admiration for hitler's hold on senior nazi officials like that that was something i
remember from his presidency that he would just always be like i wish i had to like hitler his
his people were super they listened loyal they everybody listened to hitler didn't they
and kelly was like well his generals repeatedly tried to assassinate him and he's like didn't that and kelly was like well his generals repeatedly tried to assassinate him and he's like
didn't know that but anyways let's watch this tom cruise movie about him being a nazi that's
probably going to be something good here oh he's trying to kill hitler yeah i just want to switch
excerpt this this bit of the salon article he said well, but Hitler did some good things. I said, well, what? And he
said, well, Hitler rebuilt the economy. But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it
against his own people and against the world. And I said, sir, you can never say anything good about
the guy. Nothing. Kelly recalled, according to Shudo, I mean, Mussolini was a good guy.
Sorry. I mean, Mussolini was a great guy. Sorry. I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.
Just the dumbest conversation.
Yikes.
A really bad conversation.
Hey, man.
If you want a big one of them up.
It's like, here's a bad guy.
I'm like, he's just having to do a chart of the worst.
The hierarchy.
Hitler really bad.
So please stop saying good stuff.
Benny Musso in a close second
if you want but yeah you know pick one but i yeah there's just been a lot of talk about hitler's
fandom lately after he started paraphrasing old hitler quotes about how immigrants are poisoning
the blood of our country his defense in that case was that he couldn't be quoting hitler because he never read mein kampf the world's only source of learning about hitler also clearly the weirdly specific lie of a person who
has read mein kampf like right i i wouldn't know i've never read no this one i've never read mein
kampf or my struggle by adolf hitler i know nothing about hitler i'm not a student of hitler i never
read his works that's a direct quote.
His works.
Oh, so there are works?
His art.
I mean, not his art.
His rambling.
Then immediately called that statement into question by pointing out,
by the way, he didn't say it the way I said it either, by the way.
Right.
Holy shit.
I said it better.
I like how even his ex-wife was like,
yeah, dude, he's got a book of his collected speeches
by his bedside table.
And when someone asked him in an interview about that,
he's like, who told you that?
Yeah, straight up.
He said, who told you that?
Oh, no, bro, you've been caught.
You've been caught.
That sounds super innocent.
And then he clarified, my friend Marty Davis from Paramount, who gave me a copy of Mein speeches and b he's not actually
jewish which is like just marty dead that's that's pretty that's pretty spot on trump style
lying he's like what i need to say to completely neutralize this and then when they say it's this
or that i'll just say it's it's fake news it's fake news he uh brought the book up again and
somehow sounded even guiltier with this quote if i had these speeches and I'm not saying that I do, I would never read them.
Wow. I mean, yeah, it's he's he's he's trying. He's trying and he's failing so bad.
Like, yeah, this thing you also find out that Trump's family is really German and not Swedish, as he said, in the art of the deal.
And yeah, Fred Trump hid his, quote quote German background because most of his tenants in
Brooklyn were Jewish.
And yeah, when Trump's cousin would visit his office, he would click his heels and say
Heil Hitler.
All right.
There is in this article.
They're like, but it's like possibly a quote, possibly a family joke.
OK, what a family joke. Okay. What a family joke.
That's a weird family joke.
That's a bad family, maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Family joke is like being like, hey, go tie your uncle's shoelaces together.
You have a real goof at this one.
Not clicking your heels and saying Heil Hitler.
And when that family runs the country, that's when this starts to be more important.
It's truly just like so wild.
Again, it's like the thing that we talked about with regards to like the whole rise of authoritarianism and Trumpism in America is like was mind blowing for a number of years.
It was front page news.
And now it just seems like it has everybody's used to all this shit
but like this is like cartoonish evil like just on the surface like it goes back generations
the the stuff about his dad so there are unconfirmed rumors for years that fred trump
was not just a white supremacist but a hitite. And the stuff that is confirmed is wild.
Like that he was arrested in 1927 at a KKK riot.
But it wasn't a Nazi thing.
He was just KKK.
That's what he'd say.
That's just KKK though.
It wasn't a Nazi thing.
It wasn't a Nazi thing.
In the 1930s, he was part of a larger New York City- City based German American community, many of whom were members of the Bund, a fifth column pro Nazi group that marched around in uniforms adorned with swastikas.
And a journalist at the time commented, old man Trump must have instilled in his family business heir Donald a strong belief in the causes of the Nazis and the Bund.
So, yeah, i don't know it is scary that
it has become so much more normalized where with trump in particular so much of his shit we're just
used to because he's such a cartoon where you wave it away but then it's not being the problem
is that it's being waved away you know we're like we we need to actually attribute
these horrific things to an actual real person who could become president again yeah and there
has also been a rise in like in particular hitler quoting like quoting hitler in sports
too in the past few years where like deshaun jackson who was a famous wide receiver had
quoted hitler kyi irving who's
you know like an all nba player if you don't know had wrong had quote not just quoted hitler but
didn't even correctly quote hitler just said something anti-semitic and said it hitler said
it hitler hitler didn't even say it yeah so there's even like a kairi roberlex yeah yeah like
the more these things happen the like more we get jaded to it but to your point
like we can't get jaded to this shit yeah it's still bad but we are it's like there's kind of an
inevitability about it that was also don't argue with me i'm not i'm not saying yeah like we need
to find a way about the we need to find a way around like that it is a natural thing.
Because this is, again, what happened.
Historians say this is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany.
When Hitler first came to power,
or when Hitler first came on the scene,
not to power, but the beer hall pushed
and all the stuff that him going to jail
for trying to take over the country, it was front page news. all pushed and like all the all the stuff that like you know him going to jail for like trying
to take over the country it was front page news everyone's like man this guy what the fuck and
you know everyone was fascinated by it and scared of it and then he just like hung around for 10
years and kept doing wild shit and then like you, changed a couple things about his publicity approach. And eventually it just was no longer front page news.
It was just like,
oh yeah,
yeah.
The anti-Semite who's trying to take over.
And then he took over.
So yeah,
it's,
uh,
it's not good.
It's not good.
Yeah.
Pretty.
Yep.
I mean,
if you need it anymore,
anymore to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Him bad. I mean, like most of us were like, you know, if you need it anymore anymore to be like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
him bad i mean like most of us were like you know if you you like look up to your dad and sometimes
it's just like hey man we like the lakers man magic johnson's cool kareem is too cool and i'm
like yeah yeah the lakers so i'm a laker fan but if your dad's like hey man the third reich bro
that's that's what daddy daddy thinks is the coolest.
Right, Donnie?
And you're like, yeah, dad.
And now look at you.
Slippery fucking slope.
And he's not even good about hiding it.
It's so weird, too, where he says it out loud.
He's like, oh, no.
Nobody else.
Nobody else's dad was a Hitler fan.
It's a family joke.
First of all, I never read Hitler.
Second of all, you're quoting him incorrectly yeah okay not even trying to fucking hide it all right let's take a quick
break and we'll be right back i'm jess casavetto executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series,

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.
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And so we wanted to check back in on the UFO story because we have an update from the Pentagon.
Yeah.
Obviously, the Pentagon, one of the reasons that it's become more of a story,
like a mainstream story in recent years
is because the pentagon's been more a little bit more transparent not like fully transparent
obviously but like transparent for the pentagon which isn't saying much but still they like
declassified some videos that were confusing and now they're coming out and saying
that the all-domain anomaly resolution office
has released their findings
and nothing to see here.
No evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
Most sightings were misidentified
ordinary objects and phenomenon.
Yeah, great. That's it.
So just shut the fuck up now, right?
They're just misidentified ordinary objects and phenomena which is like well then we want to fucking
describe that then a little bit like yeah it's phenomena just like stuff things happening like
they even address like other theories that are out there they're like the aaro recognize that
many people sincerely hold versions of these beliefs the goal of this report is not to prove
or disprove any particular belief set,
but rather to use a rigorous analytic
and scientific approach.
They said they found no empirical evidence for claims
that the USG and private companies,
the US government,
have been reverse engineering
extraterrestrial technology
and they have determined,
based on all information provided to date,
that the claims involving specific people,
known locations, technological tests,
and documents allegedly involved
in or related to the reverse engineering of extraterrestrial
technology are inaccurate.
But also, the same agency
also announced that they are
working to develop a sensor kit to
gather better data on things that
are flying around to hopefully
get some kind of, I don't know,
better understanding of these phenomena.
And now, like, many of the,
you know,
phenomena.
And a lot of the UFO people are now saying
that, like, okay, well, since the Pentagon has now come out and said
that this stuff, these are not UAVs,
then, you know, there are no secret labs.
Then, like, maybe whistleblowers should be able to
testify in public.
No, that's not what we meant.
Well, we didn't mean that.
The other, like, real, the theory that i see in like the ufo community that they're really
like we're not i mean a theory that i see people just sort of talking about more and more it's
sort of like since they're talking about the release of these gremlin sensor kits is what
they're calling it to to gather more data they're saying like they're going to use this to control
the entire narrative now about
how we understand uaps because they fucked up by keeping it a secret years ago so now they're going
to use these sensors to be like actually that's wild we have found things so maybe we do need to
have a discussion about this but we only found this out now because of these sensors that we
developed not because of things so like allows them to track us more or what's their no it's it's more to okay again this is the tinfoil theory yeah it's it's giving the
u.s government in the pentagon they're being they now have control over the narrative rather than
right now it's like shut the fuck up man i know we have that shit but just fucking act like it
doesn't fucking exist where now they can have this report and be like yeah all that is fake
and it's all okay.
Like, they're not really UAPs.
But we actually have now with these new sensors we've just developed, we have gathered evidence that maybe, actually, maybe something is different.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, it doesn't make sense to me either way, but I feel like you do need to.
I haven't read the full report, but I feel like to truly make this convincing they need to have like an
editorial sense of like the stuff that is actually compelling evidence or like compelled compellingly
mysterious and then explain what we're seeing in those like videos or in those eyewitness testimonies like it's just weird that all
these people inside the pentagon would choose to press self-destruct on their careers at the same
time like at where inside the military where it is overtly like just career suicide to be like, yeah, I just saw a UFO.
Those pilots,
those Air Force pilots
who saw the Tic Tac
circling their plane with
their naked eye
came back and everybody was making fun
of them for weeks.
It's not a cool thing.
So it's just
confusing to me why...
Is the crackpot UFO theorist industry that much more profitable
than military bureaucrat with a pension?
Health insurance?
It feels weird.
Well, they're unionizing.
Weirdos are unionizing.
So it's actually more lucrative than it used to be.
Yeah, it feels like there's better incentives
to stay quiet and shut the fuck up.
So, like, these people are having to take a risk
to come out and, like, for a while,
it was a lot of people with, like, weird facial hair
who were, like, you know who just had backgrounds that weren't necessarily making them the most reliable source on military intelligence.
But then there's just this flood of whistleblowers.
And I feel like there needs to be some sort of better accounting for what these people are saying like i just need i need and
maybe it's not coming from the pentagon but like then i need the long read version like in the new
yorker or you know some journalistic outlet that's going to like put in the resources to be like all
right like so here's why these people are saying the lies that they're saying like it's the incentives make sense in
this way they're getting like youtube money you know like i just i just don't understand it and
like maybe some skeptics out there can help me understand it a little bit better but it can't
just be like no these people are fucking stupid they're they're lying and like you know because
it's so many different people with like no clear incentive to lie yeah i mean the only one would just be the attention and like
that's it that's the only one that like that is like on its surface makes sense and it's like
well maybe they don't value those other things they purely like to be someone who is the center
of attention and can like completely captivate a room by doing make-em-ups about
whatever they saw but again like when you see the kinds of people they're like the most buttoned up
like yeah it's like career military people and pilots you're like i don't know man like
maybe but again i think the thing is like when you say phenomena like use use the fucking the
resources that you have scientifically to actually help people understand
that if that is the case rather than being like dude they're like they're just like drones and
spy planes and like phenomena yeah okay sure all right should we talk about whether millennials
killed the chewing gum industry because yeah yeah we need to address this i'm to be addressed
i'm mad you know i'm a cusp millennial and i'm pissed at
you guys well look the onset of covid maybe had more to do with it uh with people masking and
not interacting face to face as much uh chewing gum basically started to bottom out uh let's say
it started to bottom out in 2020 like they they were down like by nearly a third and why wouldn't
it because ensuring that your mouth was
fresh and minty was probably the least of your worries uh in 2020 but even since like wanting
to make a bottom out joke about what i'm doing down here at south by and that's not fair no i
think you're doing great okay i think this is actually a high for you my bottom is not out
it's purely a mouth thing uh proceed yeah um so keep that in um and
so like and even since 2020 sales have be like barely began to recover and that's mostly because
they're just charging people more for gum so like gum sales rose less than one percent to 1.2 billion
units last year which is still 32 percent lower than like pre-pandemic levels.
But the sales in dollars are back to pre-pandemic levels. And again, that's just because they're
charging people like a dollar more than they had. So they're just making up for it with the money,
which you're like, oh, right, right. This is how this is how this shit works.
No, inflation is our fault. Inflation is actually our fault for getting paid more
for. Yeah, it's because because Uber drivers tried to unionize. beloved gum brands that have been with us for like 50 years like super bubble gum we know that one
and also famed currency fruit stripe gum if you remember home alone 2 anyone that was what he
would give as a tip was fruit stripe fruit stripe gum um but millennials maybe also kind of did
kill gum uh because gen x apparently they tend to chew more gum than any other age group
so much fucking gum.
Maybe this is me being more Gen X than millennial.
I mean, I have a pack of gum in my backpack.
That's kind of part of my travel thing.
Because I was always raised to be like,
you got to chew gum for the altitude or whatever.
But I never...
For your ear, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm more of a mint bitch.
You're a what?
Because this might shock you,
but I grind and clench my jaw
and i don't chew gum anymore because it tires out my already fatigued jaw from and i would imagine
a lot of other people right now are stressed to the point not not you too of course but you know
like us normal hard-working americans are stressed to the point that we clench at night so we have to suck
instead of uh chew so yeah yep yeah but there's not just generational differences though like
people are just kind of like more carb and i guess sugar conscious they also aren't into aspartame
and artificial sweeteners so that's also creating a decline so what is the industry to do they're now trying to
shore up cells by referring to gum as a stress reliever and also targeting gamers with gums that
have like vitamin b and like green tea in it to quote help them focus energy gum and also trying
to make people think of gum as less of like a shit breath defense mechanism and more of like a wellness thing
so yeah i don't i don't i'm good luck with being like yeah man this gum is like your road to
fucking nirvana they need to double down on getting dentists to recommend chewing it that
was the thing for me like i yeah i just associate trident because of like one commercial in the early 90s that I saw like when I was a kid.
It was like nine out of 10 dentists say if you can't brush true Trident.
I'm like, yeah, this is basically brushing my teeth and it's also candy.
So that's great.
They should double down on that lie.
Not the wellness lie.
Right, right, right, right.
Yeah. Gatorade had a gum i don't know
if you remember this where it was called like quench gum and i oh yeah i'd love to know the
science behind how when you chewed it your mouth just got filled with saliva it was crazy yeah
well and it's discontinued they haven't made it in a long time but i do remember that being
even back then they were trying to find oh no they made quench gum still oh for real oh yeah
not gatorade it's not a gatorade one though right no but like the og quench gum i remember like if
you went to like sports chalet or whatever it would just be like or big five it was just like
in a big tub by the register like as an impulse buy i'm like mom i need this for basketball
practice he's like, you do not.
More like drench gum.
Your mouth.
Thank you.
Bursting with that is what I chew gum for is to,
is to get like saliva going,
you know?
Yeah.
That's,
that's one of the good things about it.
I would,
I would swallow the gum immediately.
Yeah.
Cause I was like,
oh man,
so juicy.
And then I'm like,
I just want to eat this. And then I just swallowed it. And I'm like, what am I doing? And I just ate a half a pack of gum. And my i was like oh man it's so juicy and then i'm like i just want to eat this and then i just swallowed it and i'm like what am i doing and i just ate a half a pack
of gum and my mom's like what okay well i do that with chapstick yeah i forgot to mention i also
have icebreaker cubes uh fourth thing of gum on my desk this is really delicious icebreaker ice cubes arctic grape really delicious gum for i'd say
20 to 22 chews and then the flavor's gone yeah yeah the trident is the best at holding its
flavor that i've found fruit stripe gum you know i don't want to talk ill of the dead but
like three chews like you got three chews and then that shit
tasted like fucking you were chewing on a piece of plastic and also gatorade was like not like
that shit went bad pretty quickly oh yeah yeah yeah yeah in my opinion yeah just go just chew
that wellness gum folks you know and so like on the road we're gonna get some gwyneth paltrow
gum at some point well it's like they're trying to do stuff it's like oh it's got natural
ingredients like it's this kind of fucking rather than like the traditional ingredients that are
made to make chewing gum this is like natural this comes from the earth so this is like the
most natural kind of chewing gum you could eat or chew or whatever. Look, man, just give us some shit.
We can just chew and make our salivary glands go bonkers.
I mean, the millennials are going to need to start chewing gum once everybody has to quit vaping at some point, like when they're getting older, you know.
So just wait.
You'll be into gum.
Wait, what are we vaping?
Like nicotine? Yeah. Isn we vaping? Like nicotine?
Yeah, isn't everybody vaping their nicotine?
I don't know.
I mean, younger kids are.
I definitely see younger kids hitting those flavored vapes.
I don't know.
People around me, they're just normal, regular, everyday pieces of shit that smoke cigarettes.
Oh, really?
I know a few.
I know a few ciggy smokers still.
Yeah.
I have seen, like, it does feel like cigarette smoking is coming back.
But again, like gum chewing is a good alternative to that.
Right.
And that is like one of the few test cases where the gum industry is like, yeah, for
people like who are getting into nicotine cessation, like that is something that helps.
Yeah.
But there's not enough of a market.
So they're just going to go after gamers and the woo woo crew.
Yeah.
I'm going to go have a nice little chew break you know just go

us gum chewers like to do just sit down have a have a nice chew together. Well, Blake Wexler, it's been
a pleasure as always.
Always a bit unhinged when you're on.
And I don't blame you,
actually. You bring it out
in me, and I appreciate that.
You were way worse than I was today.
I don't even think it was close.
Yeah, no.
It was a fucking mess.
It's because he didn't eat his food.

dat dash dates.
It's like live dad.
Live dates. Yeah.
Daddy dates. Daddydates.net.
I don't know what that website is.
Daddydates.net is... I'd skip it.
Ain't what it's cracked up to be.
From your words to Jack's mouth.
Yeah.
It's not a place to meet hot dads.
They just sell dates.
Like the first dates.
Yeah.
And is there a work of media you've been enjoying?
Yeah.
So there is a tweet where it said,
So there is a tweet where it said, shout out to this Flyers fan and only this Flyers fan.
And that tweet happened because it was a jersey, a picture of a jersey, where there's been this big scandal of what's it called?
Like Canadian players who there's a big, like horrible sex scandal and one of them was this eagles or sorry
flyers goalie named carter hart and what they did so this is from kaharski donuts and it's a picture
of a flyers fan who changed the last name on the jersey from heart to fart in protest of the player
which i think takes something with a lot of heaviness, a very grave, serious issue, and then condemn the act with an instance of immaturity,
I think is a great way to do it.
So, you know, you can't buy a new $260 jersey,
so why not protest by changing the name Heart to Fart, baby?
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah.
Well done.
Thank you for that.
Miles, where can people find you?
What is working media?
You've been enjoying,
uh,
find me at miles of gray where they got the ad symbols.
Find Jack and I on the basketball podcast.
Miles and Jack,
I'm at boosties.
You could also find me on four 20 day fiance talking 90 day fiance.
Uh,
some tweets.
I like this.
Do I have Paul Lomax?
Someone like people have been going fucking wild over this Kate Middleton Photoshop thing.
And he tweeted, holy shit.
So someone else.
Okay.
First, it was at Ruby Naldret.
I apparently said, I think this is from the Vogue cover that she did years ago.
And they edited that face on from the Vogue cover.
Then Paul Lomax said, holy shit, I just did it myself.
And it's a pixel perfect fit.
Genuinely, it's 100%
that this is the Vogue cover
photoshopped in.
What?
Yeah, it's pretty wild.
They're sort of like
laying over the Vogue cover
except she's wearing a hat in it
and they took the hat out
and whatever.
Always more fucking questions
than answers.
And then at its league tweeted, what's a crab ran goon to a crab ran goblin?
That's great.
Nothing.
Nothing.
You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. A tweet.
I enjoyed Chase Mitchell at Chase Mitt retweeted a Variety headline.
Jeremy Strong needed to
quote, achieve exit velocity
from succession
so he could quote,
attempt to do more. Says
quote, it's a myth that I'm this humorless
person. And Chase Mitchell said
that is the most Kendall-ass way
possible to put that.
You're going to achieve exit velocity from succession.

tested yeah and it just has like this very uh you know for for the millennials out here for the
people that kill chewing gum this will resonate and like yeah her like vocal style is kind of
like pink pantherist like it's more whispery you know not like a powerhouse vocalist but
you kind of like that on these sort of more vibey R&B tracks.
