On fire with the Sugar Ray AKAs. The Fly music video was recorded at a girl who I went to junior high with's godmother's house.

And all she would say when that video came was like, that's my godmother's house. That's my godmother's pool. That's my godmother's backyard. And we're likemother's pool That's my godmother's backyard. I were like we get it Megan like Those people always in our minds like from high school like don't you still imagine that that's still her only claim to fame? Yeah, oh, yeah, that's why the first I look at sugar ray and my brain goes Megan we get it your godmother had the background from the fly video what if she is still living off that she's not man yo her fucking i just saw her wedding photos from last year she took a photo they went they got married in iceland okay so shout out to y'all wow but the fucking

photo like they has like a drone photo where they're on the edge of a fucking mountain it looks like some tolkien shit wow Almost like she believed she could fly. Yes. Yeah. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat. No comment. High in the sky. That's what it is. He doesn't believe he can fly.

That's R. Kelly. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented Mr. Andrew T. Oh, y'all, no more calling me Andrew T. I'm just Andy from now on. Damn. Andy. Like Toy Story?

Yes, like Toy Story. Like Toy Story. Call me Andy, like Toy Story. I didn't have time. I was trying to think of an AKA, and I biffed it. And then I realized a kid in college called me andy t and it was the worst thing i've ever heard andy t yeah right yeah the worst it's weird knowing you yeah because you what would it take for me to actually be an andy you'd have to have spiky hair yeah you know

actually you're a little too dignified for you to be andy i've right it's weird i don't know i look at you just see friend of the show Andy Beckerman five seconds ago. But Andy starts off as Andy. I only know Andy Beckerman to be Andy. I know you to be Andrew. So then if Andy Beckerman suddenly becomes like, I'm going by Andrew now. You're talking about Drew? Drew Beckerman?

Oh, Drew. Uncle Drew? Dude, Drew Beckerman? Drew Beck. The god of Rucker Park? Actually, next time he's on the show. By the way, great show. The Dave Drew Beck Quartet?

That's an A-T-A-K for him. I can think of someone else's, not mine. Why don't you take five and we're going to punch them out? Beat that out. It's just dropping bombs in. Bombs. Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in spring. Bombs. Well, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment, Andy. But first, we're going to take our listeners through a few of the things we're talking about today,

such as what was IHOP's IHOP change? What was that all about? Oh, what a cliffhanger. We're on the edge of our seats. Wait till we reveal this? Oh, what a cliffhanger. We were all on the edge of our seats. Wait till we reveal this. Oh, man. Because I've decided I don't care about the creeping of fascism in this country. I care about IHOP right now.

That's why we're starting there. They're fucking with me. Yeah. Fucking with me. Your passion has to be put somewhere. Yeah, it has to be put somewhere. I'd rather make memes about creeping fascism than dealing with it head on. We're going to talk about the president in the UK, President Trump, and also his new hairdo that he just kind of floated out there.

A little test of what people's response would be to that. Yeah. Slick back. I mean, we have a lot to – this, I think, will take up a lot of discussion because there's so many elements to the hair change that can be read in so many ways. And I'm glad, actually, Andy, you're here today. Yeah. I know you'll have a lot to... Andy, you're a hairstylist, right?

I am. Yeah. I mean, I know Andrew T. isn't, but Andy... Andy T. might be a hairstylist. You know Andy can... cut hair? Yeah. Is that what it's called? Well, yeah. What do you call like cooks? They call it burning.

Like you can't burn when they're talking about like- Shape. Yeah. Style. What's the hair cutter slang with like, you can't clip? They're stylists. You can't chop. You can't chop.

Yeah. I have no idea. But I do. I know in Ghana, that's what they say instead of eating. Chop. Oh, really? Yeah, we go chop. That's cool.

Yeah. Is that where the phrase? The chop it up is not that, but. I don't know. Look, any Ghanaian Zeitgang, holler at me. Yeah. Let this old brunie know what's going on. And barbers used to be, barber and surging used to be the same job.

Yeah. What? Yeah. No, it didn't. Types of surgery, I think. Yeah. When I was in Hong Kong. Like minor surgery as a kid i for sure uh we went

we went to some alley with my like now ex-uncle my my aunt divorced you guys broke up like yeah but uh he uh i think we were just getting like fucking soy milk or something but we went down this wild ass alley and yeah there was like a dentist slash barber operating. Dentist, barber. I get both not exact science. Right. Not exact sciences and neck up. Yeah.

He's a wizard of the neck up. Yeah. But I like surgery used to be a little bit more like, you know, they were just doing what they thought was right in the moment type thing. What is a surgery that a old timey barber surgeon would do? Like what was considered surgery then? You know, I don't know. Because I'm just curious.

Are we talking about gallbladder removal? I think it was on the bloodletting side of the equation, maybe. And oral surgeries, I think. I know that something about, like, that twisty pole that is outside of barber shops, like, that started as, like, a signal that was supposed to symbolize, like, the red bloody cloths of a surgeon. What? Yeah.

So they were doing the kind that results in bloody cloths. That's a good surgery. Yeah. Well, shout out to one time I remember this dude was cutting my hair, cut top of my ear off. No. With scissors. Is that why you look like that?

Oh, that explains it. Yeah. I know I told you- I thought you were ashamed explains it. Yeah. I know I told you. I thought you were ashamed of being an elf. No, and I told you I was doing stunts in that MIA video, bad girls in that car, and that's how my ear top came off. But no, Peter accidentally slipped the top of my ear off. All right.

Well, that's good to know. And now we can stop Photoshopping all those pictures. Thank you so much. That's what most of our budget goes into. We're going to talk about Jared Kushner, who did an interview with Axios. That was very, like, Vice-style and, like, handheld. You got to do a handheld camera coverage of Jared Kushner because he's always on the move. It's like Sasquatch.

You know, you get that guy just. We're going to talk about movie studios and where they're at in there with their threats to leave Georgia, which they should have already done by now. Yeah. We're going to talk about Disneyland, Star Wars Park and what what the bathrooms are like there. Like like I said, finally, a theme park that will answer the question, is there an animal that will eat my shit? And how many eyes does it have? And will you let it swim through the water I'm about to drink? And it's not Flintstones land.

It's not. It feels like it maybe should have been. Yeah. I feel like Flintstones land you would be shitting directly into it. A doodoo dactyl. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Wow.

Yeah, it can fly and then get low. But first, Andy, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, man, this one is way too much. I've been keeping an eye on the U.S. dollar price of Bitcoin. Okay. Because I think I've talked about it on air before. I've certainly talked about it, I think, in person. I've been playing poker online, but because it's not lawful to do so in the state of California,

I've been playing on a, I believe, a European-based site that takes Bitcoin as its currency. And my problem was when I bought into the site, it was one of the highs of Bitcoin, and then it kind of promptly crashed. So it has almost crawled back up. So basically, I bought into this poker site. The value of the currency I bought it with plummeted by a quarter. I did manage to spin up my stack to about four times what I bought in with in money that had been so devalued that I was still underwater in U.S. dollars. Oh, wow.

And so now I'm almost positive in U.S. dollars. There you go. So I feel good. Yeah. That's great, man. You play a lot of poker? So I hate going to the gym. Let's start there.

So my reward for being on the exercise bike is I play poker on my phone for a while. Wow. Oh, wow. So you're gambling. Damn, man. You have all sorts of... I was just thinking poker is hard enough for me to just keep track of all the odds and shit like that.

You've got the odds of the hand you're playing and who you're playing against and what you think based on what they're doing. You also have the currency markets markets and then you're also working out while you do that well the currency market thing is just in the it's it's in the pervasive in the background so that doesn't take up like active mental cycles right and then i think the working out actually because i'm i'm like kind of a nervous person in general even when i'm gambling so i think actually it's's that fundamental attribution error thing where I can tell myself my heart rate is elevated for a reason, not nerves.

Right. And that I think actually keeps me more level-headed. Yeah, that's interesting. The fundamental attribution error is also why it's a good idea to go on to a horror movie with somebody that you have a crush on because the elevated heart rate will trick them into thinking that they're aroused or interested in you romantically.

Or if they already like you, they think that they're aroused by blood. Exactly. And it'd be a very weird post-date interaction. Either way, it's real good. Or they think they're scared by everybody they've ever fallen in love with. Yeah. And then they're just fucked.

What is something you think is overrated? Overrated is staying awake during any of the number of recent big blockbusters. Overrated. Okay. Them shits are too long, and they're so fundamentally, like everyone has that exact same structure. So you can fully take a 15-minute nap at an hour 45 into every single two-and-a-half-hour blockbuster.

I did it yesterday at Godzilla. Okay. It was great. And you feel kind of mildly refreshed when the action starts. Yeah, because, man, I fall asleep in movies a lot. Yeah. Probably because I'm smack city out. But when I'm in there, I typically, it's weird.

It's almost like subconsciously I know I'm like, nah, there's going to be a little break in the action here. Although Fast and Furious, I fucked up. I slept through most of the film. The first? No, no, the last one. Like the zombie car sequence, I fully slept through. Oh, yeah.

But you can also catch all that shit on YouTube in three days. It's actually incredible how all the good scenes are on YouTube. But it's like right in those moments before you fall asleep, you're like shrugging, like, and you're like, I'm falling asleep, falling asleep. But it's true. When you actually just succumb to the sleep. Let it embrace you

and then you can get literally a perfect like 18 minute nap in and you feel you feel great and you come back you're like

I'm gonna stay awake for the rest of the the whole movie now yeah that's amazing how much of my life like

before I graduated from school was spent doing that like at that exact point where I was like trying to keep one eye open just that exact point where I was like trying to keep one eye open just to look like I was still awake while my

brain was floating around. No, you're done. Is there a point that people should be looking for? Is it about halfway, two-thirds of the way through the movie? Are you talking about Joseph Campbell?

I think what it is is that halfway, two-thirds of the way through the movie? Are we talking about Joseph Campbell, Hero's Journey structure? Well, I think what it is is that fucking Save the Cat book. Yeah, right. Really locked down blockbuster structure, possibly forever. Yeah. Right. Everyone's like, what about Save the Cat?

It used to be Story by Robert McKee. Yeah. It's the same. I mean, ultimately, a lot of it's the same beats and whatever, and there's a good reason Story's not told like this, whatever. But also, I think it's because movies have gotten so long that kind of like, you know, however the screenwriting books call it, like that, like marshalling the forces moment before the triumphant third act is long now. Yeah.

It's like 15 minutes. Give an example of of marshalling the forces part in like Avengers. I think the Guardians of the Galaxy first movie where they're all standing around

on the Benatar I think is the name of the ship and they all basically say what they like about each other after having had a fight. Right.

I'm trying to remember but that's an example I think I've seen a lot. But yeah, it's the big setback, heroes dust themselves off and apologize to each other moments. Now let's get at it.

It weirdly takes forever. And you know that's not going to change because you know they're all going to have to dust themselves off to go kick some ass. And maybe it's because these, especially like big blockbusters are so like, well, they're big now. And, you know, in like a movie like Avengers, there's a lot of plot lines. So it's weird you have that same rhythm of the beat, but for a lot of stories, like a lot of different like CD stories. And you're just like, yeah, OK.

But also because our brains fully know what's going to happen next, it just doesn't matter. Right, right. Anyway. What is something you think is underrated? Okay. Underrated, which is what I've been doing all this week. I don't think I can talk about it yet,

but I just got a new job that required me to watch about, back in the envelope, like 70 hours of an existing TV show. Oh, boy. And it got, you know, obviously very boring to do it for a while. Do you think people are going to put together what you're talking about to figure this all out? I wonder. Okay. I'm just asking you if you know, if you want to come out here with that.

I don't know for sure that I can't say anything. I'm just not. Okay. Because, you know, what if I can't? But, you know, I think it's vague enough. Because when the Sopranos spinoff comes out, people are going to be like, yeah. I'm going to understand the Deadwood movie. That's all.

That's all I'm going to tell you guys. My job is one I gave myself, and it's to understand the Deadwood movie. I gave myself and it's to understand the Deadwood movie. But no, it's that once you kind of like zone into like hour, I don't know,

30 of a project like that, it kind of starts to be fun again. I was surprised at like how like this forced binge seemed. It's like, you know, it helps that the show is good,

but I truly, I was just like, I'm in it. I know what's going to happen when I'm gonna watch an episode in bed before i get up you know i'm gonna watch start another one while i'm like making my eggs and like you know and it's just like that's what it's gonna happen that's what it's gonna do and it gave me weird structure in my life right so and you know it's gonna happen

but you can admire like the craftsmanship of like they get there. I think a little bit, yeah. Well, at a certain point when you watch that much of one show too, it can just be jokes and writing. Yeah. I'm sorry, little pieces of the writing, because largely stuff that you're like, I get the rhythm of this now. Right, right. And I get how it's put together.

So I don't know. Look, ask me again in four days when I'm done. Right. So far, so good. And finally, what is a myth? What some of the people think is true,

you know, to be false. So my myth is, and I know this is something that like, I think financially literate people have always known. Oh no. But it's, don't buy a fucking car.

Oh, don't buy a car. Right. Arguably don't use a fucking car. Oh, wow. Don't buy a car. Right. Arguably, don't use a car at all for different reasons. But I'm in the middle of having the first car I've ever owned start to die on me. Oh. And I was just like, oh, right. This is why all the people who I know who grew up white and middle class or upper middle class are like, yeah, just lease that thing.

Lease that shit. white and middle class or upper middle class are like yeah just lease that shit yeah and i know i know it's so obvious but like people like for instance my fucking parents are like so what car are you gonna buy next and i was like none zero nothing forever yeah um because i can't i think it's a thing that i just need to admit to myself it's like i can't take care of anything well enough to own it right i was having another conversation just outside before the show about like iPhones and whatnot. And it's like, just rent that shit or like know that you're going to fully snap it in half in like. Well, yeah, if you're fucking reckless and careless with your shit. Yeah.

Then you might as well lease. I should lease. Do you take care of shit? Not that great. Yeah. But I also don't buy anything. Like I look at it. I'm like, are the reviews like, you could basically run this motherfucker into the ground.

Right. And I'm like, yep. Because I used to have a Honda Prelude that I could fucking, I could have drove into Mad Max world. Yeah. I would have been perfect. Turns out my Ford hybrid, not as stable an investment as I'd hoped. Yeah. See, it's true about Ford. My Mazda 3 modster three look i'm not having regrets about buying that shit um so i'll own it you know that's my

thing though too is like i just want to eliminate a payment and then be like i own this because with my honda once that shit was paid off yeah i'd have any payments and that shit was just going yeah i think i think that's ultimately true but i just think that's like here's what it is and this is really again i think talking to a lot of the children of immigrants out there which is like a lot of the things your parents think about saving money is not financially correct right how about that oh wow that's a good that's a good because there's a lot of like hoarding a lot of a place of lack. Yeah, and so it's super low risk. But because of that, you necessarily lose out on,

by avoiding risk at any cost, you lose out on a bunch of shit. Yeah, that's also the case for a lot of the Depression era people where my mom's parents were like at the end when you like start having financial discussions with them like about their estate planning yeah you kind of realize that they have a totally

this two and a half percent we've been earning rock solid that could never go anywhere and it's like oh my god it's wild invest in bitcoin everyone welcome to mad money i mean sad money all right guys uh real quick we wanted to check in with ihop they had uh you know a big marketing push last year that they were changing their name to IHOP to become the International House of Burgers. And, I mean, watch out now.

So, you know, that worked phenomenally. And we all think of IHOP as a place for burgers and not as a place for breakfast. And for some reason, they decided to change their name back to IHOP. And the speculation was rampant. We were going, we went through it. We thought it was going to be a Prince-themed place. Yeah, there was a fist fight in the office. With all Prince-themed dishes.

Yeah. And I'm sorry for the person. I know we called one dish a raspberry beret. He said pancakes with raspberry puree. Oh, that's good. You know what? And that's the privilege you get to not do the show live on the spot and just come up with this shit.

You know, we were very interested. We're like, okay, maybe they're going to do something interesting. Maybe they got something up their sleeve. Did anyone actually have one of these burgers in this room? No. No. Because I don't care. Because when I go to IHOPop it's late if usually it's like

uh well nothing else is open except for ihop maybe we'll see some people get in a fistfight i feel like i since i moved to la the oh here's why it's because the only ihop i can think of off the top of my head is in k-town and everything's always open in k-town yeah everything well that's just right that's the rules of K-Town. So K-Town don't sleep. Bad location choice, IHOP. This place, okay. You're not going to show in town at 2 in the morning.

They said June 3rd is the day. June 3rd, we reveal IHOP. What's the P stand for? It's going down. Cut to June 3rd, and they tweet out, they go to their website. It says, introducing our new pancakes with an asterisk. Right. All natural natural 100 usda choice black angus beef is three motherfucking hamburgers okay and then it says the asterisk is leading to

the thing down below it says when we changed our name to ihob the beef for burgers the internet told us to stick to pancakes so we're sticking to quote unquote pancakes hint their burgers fuck you i hob that sucks what the fuck i mean it's just like a really it's almost like a really labored bad tweet that they made into a whole like marketing campaign it's it's like a person misunderstanding sarcasm and like tone and shit and just like it I don't know. It's not that we, it's not that the internet was saying, Hey,

stick to pancakes. Like the name. Right. It's like stay in your fucking lane. Your burgers are probably bad. Yeah. Just grease spot. Yeah. Fucking do that.

Nobody wants burgers. Yeah. I don't. So. It's very like Huckabee style. Just like, we're not. It's very Huckabee style. We're we're not. It's very Huckabee style.

We're not abandoning this. Right. No matter what. Yeah. It's incredible. There's no amount of feedback or forced laughter. Yeah, this is definitely, they were like, this Huckabee guy's got some chops. Let's bring him on as a ghostwriter for this campaign.

You know what you do? You go back to pancakes, but it's still burgers. Uh-huh. Oh, but it's still burgers. Uh-huh. Oh, cool. Okay, thanks. Please fall all the way back. Yeah.

Yeah, so, you know, well, I guess it's just one of those things where like they're milking this thing that already wasn't that cool to begin with. Right. I think they completely misread us.

Like it wasn't like, oh, ha, ha, ha. It's like, yo, this is lame. And they're like, let's just bring it out. Let's ring it out one more time yeah see what we can get out of this what's the kind of ad exec that's like there's no such thing as bad publicity they're talking if they're talking we must be doing something right and it's like oh good lord cut to your quarter figures yeah like uh we haven't sold a burger yeah and i if you spend time what if they're room with ad execs, you can hear how this meeting went,

and it's just exhausting. Because you know what happened? The IHOP shit didn't work. And they're like, guys, we got to figure out what the fuck is going on, because we went all in on burgers, and I'm sorry, burgers are only making up 5% of our total sales.

We projected this would be out 15 to 20. This is all, they figured out some math where they can sell like shitty beef at a great margin uh usda choice black angus beef right by the way black angus does not mean anything other than it's a brand well that's not what the cowboy told me in those commercials for black angus steakhouse we used to be right cutting his beard with a knife by the river. Yeah. Black Angus can be D-level prison quality meat. Okay, well, then fuck them.

Which is about right. Andrew, you do bring up a good point, though. We shouldn't just slag them off like this without trying it ourselves. I kind of want to have one. Should we go? Andrew and I will figure out a date. Alright. Alright, we're going to take a quick break to go taste test IHOP's new burgers.

And we'll be back in a moment. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball

just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here

to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.

Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them.

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

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. The burger was awful. Bullshit.

No, we will do an actual taste test. Yeah, maybe what I'll do, because Andrew and I like to eat. We can just, you want to go too, Jack? Yeah. We'll just go. Oh, thanks, Miles. Thanks for including me. On the extra corrects, you know what I mean?

I know, we know to, you know, we keep it separate but equal. But yeah, we'll have to go. Yeah, but I do. The photos look good. I'm not going to lie. Do they? I mean, look, it's got, anytime I look at a brioche bun, I think it looks good. Yeah, that's true.

Because I like that little egg wash on top because it gets shiny. Mm-hmm. All right, let's talk about Donald Trump, who is in the UK, getting a warm welcome from one young man who mowed a penis into a field that he would be flying over. Yeah. An 18-year-old student, Oli Nankaro. Yeah. Shout out to you because he did a very, very good cock and balls

upon the field. And it says, Oi, Trump. It's just like the text underneath it. Oi. And yo, I have to give it up. The technique technique on this the mowing skills it's legit like oh yeah some janky shit this is like the uh the nazca lines is that what they call that in uh peru oh right i mean that's like on that level of uh like intricate shit that you can see from space probably there's a curve to the dick but you you get the sense that it was an intentional curve. Oh yeah.

It should have been a mushroom. You know what I mean? If we're really going to go at this man's neck then it should have been the shape should have been a little bit more exaggerated. Right. But you still get points. He also in another close by field also did climate change is real. Ah. So you know he did his part. So

you know the trip started off with a slight bang. Yes. I feel like the British do like public roof dicks really well. Yeah. Like fly-by dicks. Yeah. I feel like I've seen this before, too.

Oh, like previous flight path things? Yeah. Probably. I mean, his disapproval rating is like 73% in the UK. Wild. So people, you know, and, you know, a lot of people are protesting. They got the baby Trump blimp will be flying again on Tuesday. So as you're hearing this, I'm sure there'll be some footage of that.

But when Trump got there, first of all, he took a fucking helicopter into London, I think to Buckingham Palace, because he did not want to drive a car through because he doesn't want to look at people that will remind him that he's like fucking not the one not welcome he's not welcome at all uh he came in taking shots at london's mayor uh who sadiq khan who uh he said by all accounts has done a terrible job as the mayor of london uh has been foolishly nasty to the visiting president of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone-cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me. Uh-huh.

Pivot now. Yeah. Con reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent mayor of New York City, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job, only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend of the United Kingdom, and I'm looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now! Oh, boy.

Yeah. All because Khan wrote an op-ed accurately describing how disgraceful Trump is as a president and how he shouldn't have any kind of red carpet welcome for him. He also, nasty was in his mind because he also called Meghan Markle nasty in an interview and then claimed he didn't call her nasty for criticizing him during the 2016 election. And the office of the White House, I guess, tweeted a link to the interview in which he called her nasty and was like, see for yourself, he never called her nasty.

And you can hear him call her nasty in the interview. So they're just assuming people won't click. It's pretty impressive. That's actually like, that's almost pitch perfect because it's like they know his supporters will not click.

It's like the fact that the link exists is the proof that they wanted. That's right. And everyone else is like, oh, what an idiot. And it's like. Because it was just bluff the evidence. Yeah. People aren't going to look. And then they do.

It's like, yeah, read the Mueller report. It's like, yeah, I just did actually. What the fuck was that? Oh, he's an angry Democrat. What else? His other complaint was just that, you know, when he got there, there was no international Fox News. It's only international CNN. Fox News does not travel well, BO.

Yeah, they were shut down in 2017, I think, in the UK. And also like Murdoch, they have like impartiality guidelines that they were violating. They're like, oh, yeah, we can't possibly consider this to be some kind of a news network. Just like the fairness doctrine that we no longer got. Also, why would we carry a foreign propaganda outlet in our country? Like, who the fuck would want to watch that? He's like, I can't believe there's no One America news here either. But the tweet was, just arrived in the United Kingdom.

The only problem is that CNN is the primary source of news available either. Right. But the tweet was, just arrived in the United Kingdom. The only problem is that CNN is the primary source of news available from the U.S. After watching it for a short while, I turned it off. All negative. And so much fake news. Very bad for U.S.

Big ratings drop. Why doesn't owner AT&T do something? Good. Can you imagine? Because that's his fucking safe space. His little comfort blanket. And then he turns it on to somewhat reality check where people are like, oh, yeah, this, this, this, this, and this. Look at Trump.

He's a disgrace. And he's like, oh, my God, I can't handle this. I'm trying to remember where I read this, but there is because like because there is Sky News, which is also owned by the Murdochs, that isn't Fox. Right. news which is also owned by the murdochs that isn't fox right like that i think i'm trying to remember this analysis that was pointing out that like and i think in australia the version that they own is still right wing but not it's basically that like the murdochs probably don't really believe in anything right and they just tailor to whatever i mean i guess it's sort of mildly the whatever the most right wing thing they can get away with in a given country.

But it's different. Like, it's significantly different. And, like, Fox News is this weird fascist anomaly, I guess. Yeah. Which is a bright spot. Yeah. You know, in global politics. Still right-ish, though.

Yeah, of course. Yeah. And I guess Conrad Murdoch or whoever the one is who's supposed to be taken over, the younger one, like, hates Fox News and thinks it's an embarrassment to the family. So that'll be interesting once big man goes away to the big mansion in the sky or whatever the fuck. The big fiery mansion deep under the ground. That's the one. The big fiery mansion deep under the ground. That's the one.

And also, just ahead of this trip, it looked like Donald Trump was debuting a new hairdo. He made a surprise visit to a Virginia church, and he claims he was just leaving a golf round, and it was just hat head. But this dude literally had a bald spot on his head, just like pulled into a bun and like cut off because yeah, that's how he had basically a bald spot reduction surgery where that like they gather up the skin that's all dead and cut it off and then like sew it together. So like the hair part is like, and it was like so painful.

That's the thing from Ivana's memoir about when he sexually assaulted her. And he had just had a painful scalp surgery that had put him in a nasty mood or something. But anyway, that's his typical move for dealing with a bad hair day is having his scalp chopped off. And, you know, he spends an hour in the mirror every morning doing his hair himself. He does not seem like the guy who just like goes out there with hat head is like, whoops.

Yeah. No. So this was definitely a very like planned move for him to come out with slick back hair. It looks like he got some good plugs in or something because his hair is looking a little fuller than you might expect. Maybe he just had really good scalp reduction surgery. The mystery just continues. The look is very much like that one Taylor Swift cover

where she's allegedly not wearing makeup or whatever. Do you guys remember that? With her slicked back hair? It's the same look. It's natural Trump. Yeah. It's not a good look. No.

He definitely looks more normal than I would have expected with his hair slicked back. It doesn't look like a tricky hairdo. I'm like, oh, shit, you got the strong hairline in the front? Yeah. I thought you were combing it to the... I thought you were bringing the party to the front because it was trying to go to the back.

I mean, that has to have been part of the decision making at some point. And then he has done something to fill it out. Yeah. to like fill it out yeah and I mean Ivanka even has said that in the fire and fury book they got reporting from some of her friends who she like this is something she shits on her dad all about all the time like how much time he spends on his hair and how insecure he is about it and she was the one who talked about the bald spot reduction surgery and how much he does with his hair to hide his bald spot, essentially. So that's definitely the consideration. Right.

But for somebody who's so wildly insecure that they haven't changed their hairdo, even as they've been mercilessly ridiculed for it for an entire career, to then suddenly change their hairdo suggests like a wobbling of his inner equilibrium or something. It's just it. I don't know. I feel like it could veer towards extra confident. Yeah.

I feel like this is a man who knows he's just fully dictator of the world. Something's up. Something's going on. I don't know which way it is, but yeah, that's true. Something's up. Something's going on. I don't know which way it is, but yeah, that's true. It's either- The top can definitely wobble the other way. They're like, I'm about to hit him with that new do. Yeah.

Or it's- With that- I don't know. Maybe if I change my hair, they'll think I'm a different person and look at me differently. That emperor for life look. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

He just looks like a standard old guy now with that hairdo. He looks like he, with this hair, he would be wearing a little baggy t-shirt with some cut-off sweatpants that are turn-to-sweat shorts. Well, he was wearing the weirdest slacks you could find. They are fully straight-legged. They're just so wide and long. It's great. Good for him. Well, you know. And we'll pay attention to that. Yeah. It's great. Good for him. Well, you know.

And we'll pay attention to that. Yeah. His hair. Who gives a shit? Who gives a shit? It's all going down. Yeah. So who knows what's changed about him, but something's changing.

So, okay, you're betting. If you're a betting man, you're saying he's feeling himself. If I'm a betting man, and I very much am, I'm going to go with, yeah, feeling himself. So do you think a big move is coming? Like this is signaling something to come? This might be a victory lap on a bunch of the other. I mean, he's just so solidified, like nothing is going to happen to me. He's like, I did it. This is that.

Why do you think he switched back, though? If he is feeling himself right if he was i would be more worried if he changed it and then he went to go meet the queen still same haircut i was like i can't meet the queen possibly looking like this i look like riffraff right like and then somehow he was like that's my casual do not when i meet dignitaries right so you're thinking like a it's like a trial balloon for That's what Jack mentioned. That could be a trial balloon. Oh, yeah. Maybe he was feeling a little spunky.

Yeah. Might delete later. Maybe he's seen so many different angles of himself with his weird hairdo that he's feeling insecure just about his hair, not insecure about any of his rock-solid decision-making. And so he's just now trying to go to a more normal... I don't know. I think either way...

This feels like a fat old guy. Maybe, I mean, look, he could also... It feels like it's like this is the first step towards, did you know W does watercolors? This feels like that. Right, doddering on the edge. It's like he he's actually really passionate about cutting hair yeah i don't know i just have this worry that's melania's like

he for sure will have his image sanitized somehow and well i think it is it's definitely getting sanitized a bit even with this uk trip where you know a lot of people like do not like you don't have to have this person here yeah all this shit. And all this shit he talks about, Oh, it's the most important ally. It's like, yeah, you're,

you constantly put like the allies at risk when you start talking about sensitive information or giving William bar just blanket authority to pulling on a nice shit. Right. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Really,

really strong allies. Yeah. He's having his children come with him to the UK and meet with the prince and a princess and Harry. Uh, having his children come with him to the UK and meet with the prince and princess and Harry. Meghan will not be in attendance because she's sane and also just gave birth. But yeah,

so there is the whole, I think the media is secretly soft on his kids. Like that's the way to the media's heart is like, they secretly like love Ivanka yeah um you know it's disgusting yes so we've always talked about how you know he surrounds himself with the people who have the thing that he doesn't have that he wants so he has uh yes a lot of guys with strong hairlines uh actually he puts bald guys behind him in press conferences because he likes his look in comparison. But he surrounds himself with military generals because he's secretly a draft dodger.

And he surrounds himself with William Barr because he has the ability to just throw court cases out if he wants to. And he surrounds himself himself his number one ally has the number one thing he most wants jared kushner uh is fucking his daughter and uh he so jared kushner uh is like one of the more powerful people in the country essentially at this somehow yes and just because he happens to be married to Ivanka Trump and he had a taped interview with Axios over the weekend and yeah it again handheld camera coverage oh yeah dude coming at him from the bushes the actual substance of what jared kushner was saying is pretty fucking scary yeah i mean it ran the gamut from a he was like they were talking about what about your middle east peace plan like you're working on that and he's like palestinians don't trust you he's like i don't

need to be trusted by them that's not what i'm interested in i'm trying to broker a plan and uh uh just really had a very odd under demonstrated a total lack of understanding on how like a humane Middle East peace process would look. But he's like, you know, fuck a two state solution. Yeah. We'll just get Egypt to cede some land and we'll wall it off, give him a couple bucks. And then I think I can be done with it and we can just end it there. Right. He also was asked about the meeting with the Russians.

And he was saying like, what? He played real dumb. He's like, what about this email you got? And he's like, I don't know which email. He's like asked about the meeting with the Russians. And he was saying like, what? He played real dumb. He's like, what about this email you got? And he's like, I don't know which email. He's like, from Rob Goldstone? About meetings. I get so many emails. I get so many emails.

And, you know, it's such a waste of time. It said, be there at four. And I was there at four. I didn't know what was going on. So, I'm sorry, Jared Kushner, if you just get an email that says, be here at four, you'll just be there at four? Yeah. Right. Like, because that's the other part I was worried about.

I was like, you don't even care. If you get an email that says, this place at? Yeah. Right. Like, because that's the other part I was worried about. I was like, you don't even care if you get an email that says this place at this time. Right. So come to this studio, Daily Zeitgeist, next Monday.

It's just under that big metal thing that says Acme on it. Yeah. It's not an anvil. Don't worry about it. It's an interested buyer for your distressed property.

Yeah. And so even then he was asked by Jonathan Swan. He was like, hey, so if you got another email from Russian, the people saying we're from the Russian government, we want to help you. Would you contact the FBI? I was like, I don't know. It's hard to deal in hypotheticals. Mm hmm. Mm hmm.

Which is yes. It was no, I won't call them because this is the only way we're going to stay. We can keep the courts away for another four years. Right. How to deal in hypotheticals is so great because that's like how animals operate. Right. You can't. It's hard for me to imagine anything.

The only thing that makes humans humans is imagination. What are you talking about? Yeah. What would I do? You know, I don't know. Think about anything that's not directly and physically in front of me. Well, one's wrong and one isn't. When I close my eyes, I don't exist.

And when I open them, I exist again. He's like, I'm sorry, Jonathan. I don't like this interview. I'm going to go now and just close his eyes. And it's like, you're still here. Oh, darn it. And then he was asked, my goodness, a very easy question just about, you know, birtherism, you know, because Trump would love to kick that whole shit off about Barack Obama's birth certificate.

Very racist. But here, let's just listen to him struggle a bit with just very, very basic facts. Andrea Ocasio-Cortez, she calls she has called President Trump a racist. Have you ever seen him say or do anything that you would describe as racist or bigoted? So the answer is no, absolutely not. You can't not be a racist for 69 years, then run for president and be a racist. And what I'll say is that when a lot of the Democrats

call the president a racist, I think they're doing a disservice to people who suffer because of real racism in this country. Was birtherism racist? Look, I wasn't really involved in that. I know you weren't. Was it racist? Like I said, I wasn't involved in that. I know you weren't. Was it racist? Look, I know who the president is, and I have not seen anything in him that is racist. So, again, I was not involved in that. My God. He could just, the question could have just been, is racism bad?

And then he goes, look, I wasn't involved in that. I'm sorry, that's not what, that's not what I'm even asking. Right. Is racism bad? Look, I wasn't, I just, you could almost cut that so it's an infinite loop. Jonathan Swan's cadence is exactly the same. Yeah. I know you weren't. Was it racist? Look, I wasn't... You could almost cut that so it's an infinite loop. Jonathan Swan's cadence is exactly the same. I know you weren't. Was it racist?

Look, I don't understand. I know we weren't. Was it racist? The 10-hour version on YouTube. What does he think saying he wasn't involved with that does to answer the question? I'm sorry, that what? No, what does Jared Kushner think? Yeah. Him saying he wasn't involved with that.

So that, like him distancing himself indicates, yes, you clearly know this is racist. There's nothing about it where I think the only thing is, if there's a soundbite where he's like, is it racist? And he goes, yes, I think it was racist. Then he has some explaining to do, but I guess

because no one has a mind for nuance at all, they're like, you did good, Jared. You're like, I wasn't there. I'm genuinely surprised he didn't just say no. Right. You're a fucking racist liar. Just continue that. It's just weird that like, why?

Why did you give a shit? Clearly the way he even looks at Palestine shows his worldview is not, there are people and there are subhumans to him. I mean, right. Like the racist thing to say is like, no, of course not. It's just asking real questions about, you know, just like fucking parrot your racist father-in-law's line. false hope about Kushner and Ivanka is that they do appear to have like this one tendril of, uh, hope that they will be invited back into like New York polite society. And so they will like put,

do these like gestures towards, uh, you know, rational. Yeah. Rationality. And then, you know, but it's nothing, it's nothing besides them. It's performative. Yeah. It's completely performative. And did, did the dude not follow up with the like, okay, do you know about the Central Park Five? No, yeah, right.

Exactly. Well, no, then he asked, he's like, well, what about the Muslim ban? Right. He's like, isn't that, isn't that some kind of prejudice? He's like, well, you know, that's what he can't like, and again, he's like, that's what he campaigned. I was like, no, I'm asking you. And he's like, well, you know, he's, I think he's doing a good job and just can't answer.

So, look, just come out. You know, you're nasty. I mean, like, yeah, the last bastion of this shit is for some, at least, like, these racists have a sense that it's not cool to be called racist. Right. Right, because, yeah, they could just be full-on hugging it, embracing it. Yeah, it's really, but this is also

Why Onyos is Racist, a great podcast I do. Oh, yeah, I love Yos is Racist. What's that called? No, no, no, but we constantly talk about, like, this is why, like, you don't let the racists define

what's racist. Right. And why, like, you don't, you know, what's in your heart doesn't make a difference. Because that lets the racist decide whether their hearts are racist.

Let me look in there real quick. Let me check that out. Just pop right in for a checkup. If I can look, then we'll determine. We'll do it as text style. Because everything your mouth is saying and your body's doing is racist yeah that's a really good point though

I know Jonathan Swan should have been like okay well I'll answer for you it was racist moving on yeah yeah because then I would love to see how he'd react to that well then I guess that's your opinion oh so you have an opinion that's different let me hear it yeah that's our complicit ass media though it's like an Axios is already whatever.

But like, is that them trying to be objective? Is that why he didn't follow up with that? Or is it just like this idea of journalism? Yeah. Like, we just asked the question. Even the AP sort of took big steps recently where they're like, you should call racist stuff racist as opposed to racially charged or like whatever. And then they recently kind of walked it back and they were like, you still shouldn't call people racist.

You should call actions racist, which is like, ugh. Right. Like, it's just pathetic, whatever. Yeah. Well, you don't want to hurt the racist's feelings. They don't. God forbid. Yeah. I mean, it's, they have feelings have feelings too guys think about what's in their heart think about what's in

their fucking hearts um and then uh we also just want to check in on uh movie studios and where they are with their progress of backing up what they were talking about when they were saying that they yeah uh might pull out of georgia they, though? Right. So there's some interesting things I didn't know, like the CEO of Netflix. So Netflix is a big, you know, they're a big gravitational force in anything having to do with the entertainment industry these days. And, you know, when it comes to production in Georgia, they swing a lot of money. And their CEO, Reed Hastings, donated upwards of $140,000

to Republicans who supported an abortion ban in Missouri. So that's, and they're dragging their feet when it comes to whether they're going to pull production from Georgia. Right. Hey, look, I gotta give to everybody, you know, we're doing business in the state,

you know, you gotta keep relations good with the left and the right, you know, it's sort of the cost of doing business. Right, that's what they of – Hey, look, I got to give to everybody. We're doing business in the state. You got to keep relations good with the left and the right. That's sort of the cost of doing business. Right. That's what they say behind closed doors. But then they are making statements for publicity that basically monetize political enthusiasm. Wharton is falling through on those good intentions and actually making the state of Georgia feel the pain of what their policies are until they make a change. The right is reacting to even the threat of this by saying, Lou Dobbs went full Bond villain on his show, claiming that if Disney and Netflix leave Georgia, his show claiming that if Disney and Netflix leave Georgia, quote, retaliation from the other side will follow and it will escalate to the disadvantage and destruction of all. I'm sorry.

Who's the other side? Yes. The right. No, but what card are they going to play? Okay. They pull out all their production money. Yeah. What's the response?

It seems almost like the only thing he could be talking about is a terrorist threat. Oh. It's just like, we'll escalate to the disadvantage and destruction of all? Motherfucker, what? I mean, it's always like Kim Jong-un. Yeah. It's always like when the right wing periodically threatens to do right wing entertainment. Right.

And it's just like, yeah. Oh, my God. There's going to be, let's just like, yeah. Oh my God. There's going to be, let's just shoot all the left behind movies in Georgia. Really support that economy. Right. Good fucking luck assholes. I mean, well, these people aren't, they're not guided by any kind of principles or moral beliefs, so they can never actually put any kind of a boycott together.

Like remember it was like, well, fuck Keurig. Yeah. Yeah. Man, what happened there? Fuck Nike, man. I'm cutting the swooshes off my socks. Yeah, man. You showed them. Yeah. Who else? happened there? Fuck Nike, man. I'm cutting the swooshes off my socks. Yeah, man. You showed them.

Yeah. Who else? What was that? Starbucks. I remember one point they were like, fuck Starbucks. They're going to hire immigrants. Yeah. The destruction of all right wing people sucks.

Yeah. I mean, so I have a little personal connection to this because my sister is actually a women's health provider in fucking Atlanta. So she has been like, I basically every time this shit comes up and i i guess i for what it's worth from the ground from one perspective there's still a lot of debate in um you know those circles in atlanta about like what is actually the right move um Because it's fucking complex, right? Because this industry, on a primary level, almost exclusively employs people who do not support this insane abortion.

Right, it would punish a lot of people who don't support this. Yeah, and so there is that. I don't think anyone, and look, I'm saying this hugely biased because I would love to work for all these companies, blah, blah, blah. Right. So, but yeah, there is that element of like, I mean, maybe that like sentiment hasn't fully coalesced around what the best thing to do is. Yeah, or just start funding all the challengers to these people. Yeah.

You know? Yeah, yeah. Because I think it's hard to hold a state's economy hostage like that. Because especially living in LA, we know how many other people are employed, even if you're not on set. The actual – the roots nourish many different things. And so that's where it's a little tough. But yeah, I think that's where it's almost almost like i know on one hand money seems to be the one language that all these people like actually communicate in yeah but i think there

are other ways too to do this and i like this sentiment but yeah at the same time when you just think of like well that's a lot of production jobs that go out yeah yeah i'm not so i'm not saying one way or the other other than like so basically every time i talk to my sister about she's just like just fucking donate planned parenthanned Parenthood, ACLU, places like that. You know, and then the various local ones that every time a new atrocity happens in a state like that. Well, because if they're serious about it, there are other ways to actually make life hell for the people who brought this legislation forward in like a legislative way, not just like, hey, we'll anger the people who are your constituents and maybe that fallout from them losing their jobs or like a huge portion of their income will then create a way of- By the way, I'm not, yeah, and I'm not saying the boycotts are wrong.

I'm just saying- No, no, no, I understand. But yeah, it's more intricate than just saying like, then we invest in the state of Georgia, like literally just with the state itself rather than like a part of the local economy. the state itself rather than like a part of the local economy. And I mean, is there any movement within the boycott to like get the companies to relocate people if they are going to take their business?

So it's not just like a bunch of people get fired, but that they just like the companies pay the. No way. Right. There's just no way that they would do something non-profitable. Yeah. Yeah. For optics.

Yeah. And that's why. This is the optics that they did that's why everyone just sort of like we're looking at the situation right yeah and no one's been like oh we're gone yeah it is admittedly complicated i mean look i i think uh uh was it jordan peele who basically was like all of my fees from this shoot in georgia will be directly donated to um don't remember the source but like you you know, like,

like corporations, it's almost impossible to get them to agree to some shit like that. But I will say like, you know, I think for stars, like that's a good middle ground. It's like, look,

if you're going to fucking shoot in this garbage state, like try to fix it. Yeah. So, so maybe that's it. It's like, well, look,

George's I gang, you know, you guys live out there. I'm curious to know how you feel fix it. Yeah. So maybe that's it. Well, look, Georgia's eye gang, you know, you guys live out there. I'm curious to know how you feel about it because on one hand, especially when these kinds of bills are an existential threat to people, you know, how do you address that in a way that's effective, can get a response because, you know, it seems like for all the public outrage and news coverage about it, it doesn't seem to be changing anything right yeah but oh yeah i mean these these dominoes are look arguably did already fall oh yeah it was the election and we're just watching it happen now

but yeah fuck yeah uh all right we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.

Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports where we live at the intersection of sports and culture up first I explore the making of a rivalry Caitlin Clark versus Angel

Reese I know I'll go down to history people are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game every great player needs a foil I ain't really near them boys I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.

Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really in here to let me waste. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her.

What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And two quick things.

One, I meant to bring up one of the more bizarre arguments that came up from the right against the boycott or proposed boycott. This was on Fox News who had on a Baptist pastor who claimed that Disney should want an abortion ban because they will make more money if they have a larger future audience of children. So cool. It's weird when they peel back the layers on like, yeah, this is about

controlling women and like a permanent underclass. Yeah. Like this is what controlling women and like a permanent underclass yeah like this is what we want it's important for us right it's fucking gross yeah um and also uh sir producer sophie lichterman brought it to our attention uh that donald trump's new hairdo that he weather ballooned out there is actually a spitting image of L. Ron Hubbard. He looks a lot like L. Ron Hubbard when he is rocking that. So which makes sense. They're both, you know, generation defining sociopaths.

Although L. Ron Hubbard's suits largely fit. Right. Weird. Either way, it looks like the last person you negotiate with at a mechanic like auto garage right it's like i gotta talk to my boss and you're like well let me talk to him and you're like oh fuck oh no this motherfucking evil goblin he figured me out guys disneyland star wars park finally opened uh last week and it's you know so popular that the demand is so high that you can only go in for four hours at a time. They, and you have like bracelets on, right? So the storm troopers would

be like, Hey, get the fuck out. Yeah. There's like, Oh, this used to happen at like a weird water park in like, uh, New Jersey that I used to go to where like, it was like a timed thing. And then the lifeguards would come around and be like, you, out. Your time's up, basically. I've had my eye on you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't ask why. Because you have your weird bracelet on

that says you're part of this trunk. You're a 230 kid. Right. As you are admitted, you get a color-coded bracelet. The difference here is when your time is up, if you stay in the park, stormtroopers will come and escort you out. Hell yes. Which is you out. Hell yes.

Which is fucking dope. Hell yeah. That would be tight, though. You're cosplaying as a Jedi, and you're like, oh, then I guess we must do battle. Right. I'll get the shit out of you, my man. Yeah. I'm assuming they're more friendly than the stormtroopers in the movies.

I mean, the good optics of fully deporting people from the early work are great, too. Based on your colored bracelet. Yeah. You there. fully deporting people from the early work are. Based on your colored bracelets. You there. I mean, I guess the trick is to try to just shove the bracelet up so it's around your arm, your upper arm, and do it that way.

Oh, I'm sure there's some facial recognition shit that they are borrowing from China. Yeah, there's like, this is actually a trial run for some really fucked up technology. Oh my God, yeah. I mean, Disney World.

Please, please. Almost certainly will be licensed to someone fucked up. Disney World, when you buy tickets for a stay at Disney World, they send you bracelets that they use to track you everywhere and you use them to pay. It makes your life super easy, but it also- Oh, like being on a cruise ship kind of thing? Yeah, exactly. All your currencies through the bracelet.

Right, but you walk through sensors all the time, and they're just like, they constantly know where you are. But people who have done it are like, man, it's amazing. Disney has this totally locked up. It's so easy. It's so convenient. But yeah, so they are already at the forefront of dystopian future technology. I still haven't been.

But the important thing is, guys, you can taste the blue milk Luke Skywalker was being forced to drink. There we go. Yeah, baby. Also, shout out to people who don't drink dairy because it's non-dairy. Give them another one. I think it's a combination of milk and dragon fruit flavors and blueberries. So it actually tastes, you know.

I'm sure it's going to taste good. It'll just be like sweetened milk. It's been in a test lab for probably years now. Trying to be like okay is this broad enough that everyone will drink it and not be like gross. It's windshield wiper fluid. It just smells and tastes of windshield wiper fluid.

Why is it hot? They just haven't done any of the work. Because it just came out of the cow's teeth you idiot because this came out of that monster titty over there bro get it together one of the weird things that is kind of in that uh alley is that they have so first of all they designed the bathrooms also to be fully immersive so you know like if you've ever been to a theme park and then you like go to the bathroom and it's just this like neon lit,

like takes you out of the world. Well, this universe, even though the bathrooms are, you know, completely clean and spotless, they are also artificially made to look dirty. Like they've like been weathered. And there's also a thing where the creature that lived in the trash compactor from the third movie, or the second movie, I guess. Isn't it Empire? No, it's the first one.

Oh, is it? New Hope, yeah. What the fuck? When Han's in the Stormtrooper? Yeah, they dive into the... What the fuck? Surprisingly easy to access that area. Yeah.

It shouldn't be in there. Anyway, the thing that's swimming around in the trash compactor is a dianoga, which is a one-eyed snake monster thing that I guess it consumes bacteria and trash. And it's basically like like a bacteria that you use that we actually use in our waste systems but they have a giant what do you mean that we actually use in our waste we have like bacteria oh okay i thought you meant that like and stuff i think like like our own dianoga that we use today thank you they're just like uh elegant creatures microscopic right um so they have a giant one and you can actually hear it swimming through the pipes oh hell it's an animatronic

creature uh that you can hear swimming through the pipes and actually swims through the pipes that lead to the drinking fountains which is kind of weird like you can look into the uh like kind of cloudy tanks that are next to the drinking fountains uh which is kind of weird. Like you can look into the like kind of cloudy tanks that are next to the drinking fountains, which. You can see this monster eye. That's too much attention to detail. I hate that. So many people get dehydrated at the park.

Yeah. And the water is cloudy. Why is the water cloudy? That's leading to the drinking fountain. Like I don't need the water to be dirty. Yeah, but we're showing you how lit the technology is, okay? Because this is Galaxy's Edge where we take just shit water and it turns it into Anaheim tap water.

Right. It's weird how that thing, because it was mostly full of junk, just junk and doo-doo. Yeah, getting smushed up. Yeah. Why are they doing that? That's where your water comes from. Yeah, who's the planner on there?

You know what? I feel like they didn't think things through on that Death Star. On the Death Star? Yeah. Well, the same dude who created the exhaust port. Yeah. Just big, big weakness. Big weakness.

Without a bathtub drain. That's all they had to do. That's the scene that was missing from Rogue One is Mads Mikkelsen just being like, and then all the doo-doo goes in one place. With this lizard in there. And they're like, okay.

Grand Moff Tarkin is very confused. He's like, right, bro. I must go now. We didn't want to do just normal sewage? Not for this one. Okay. The one thing I know is if you want that, a friend of of mine who is there if you want to get the lightsaber like you got to pay up front like right there's no browsing in there it's like serious fucking jedi only bro do not come in here to look at the different handles i'm only looking for people

don't you have to like construct it yeah you get to build your own but the thing is like they've because it's so popular it's like you must buy if you come in here right oh right right right and i would buy that and it is just like i will fight a stormtrooper when it tries a six hundred dollar flashlight that you're screwing together basically look hold on dude depends on what kind of power crystal i put into it first of all and who knows what i'm gonna make the handle out of am i gonna go more sith style or maybe something jedi i don't know but is is the blade just made from a big plastic thing? Yes. It's so weird.

It's so stupid. It's not stupid. I need my motherfucking lightsaber. I hope it looks cooler than the ones that they currently sell that are just like a long plastic stick that look like they're made from the same thing that all kids' toys are made from. Yeah, well, I remember when the first prequels came out, they re-released them, and it was just sort of like this telescopic blade Yeah

And you couldn't Bang with that I broke my Darth Maul shit Off the fucking rip I remember I like fanned it out And I hit a tree Bust the full

I don't know why I thought I hit a fucking tree With it You thought you were Gonna cut a tree Also I was like 14 When this shit came out So I should have known better
