It's true. Ain't nobody Lil' Zamboni. You ain't Lil' Zamboni. Love it. I guess we should just talk about what we're going to talk about.

Are we just going to start? You know, I like to keep it loose. You know how I get down. Miles is in church today. I'm scared. Oh, the substitute who smells like weed Miles is in charge today. I'm scared. Oh, the substitute who smells like weed is teaching the class today. You saw it. Did you ever substitute teach?

You know what's funny? That was like as soon as I got done with college 2007 and the economy was exploding. Yeah. And I was like you know what? I need to go get that C-Best or whatever that test is for substitutes. I did that.

Smashed it. Yeah. And right before I was going to begin doing that in earnest, I started getting into politics. Oh, wow. So, yeah. But, hey, I still got that shit. I did. I substitute taught for my first few months out of college.

And I was teaching in Water watertown which is like where the all the a lot of the boston bombing stuff happened oh like where the guy was hiding in the boat yeah watertown's in new york right no it's in there's also a watertown in massachusetts because there's a watertown in new york it's a bad name there's also one at universal city it's a bad that's water world yeah but there But I was teaching second graders, and they were like, today just teach them about the one-year anniversary of what happened. I was like, okay. Oh, oof.

You were tasked with that? Yeah, substitute. And I did not have to take a test to be a substitute teacher. They were just like, are you free? You can read. That's the requirements. But I took it really seriously, and I put together a lesson, and I went into the class.

And they might have been older, like fifth grade, because I was like, okay, guys, a year ago today, something very serious happened. And then one kid in the back was just like, we know. And then I just gave up, and I didn't do the lesson. You bailed on the whole thing? I put on Remember the Titans. I got scared. Wow.

I was a TA for one week, one class. No, two classes, actually. So it was two weeks. I was in grad school, and one of the teachers was like, do you want to be a TA? And I was like TA for one week, one class, no, two classes. Actually, so it was two weeks. I was in grad school and one of the teachers was like, do you want to be a TA? And I was like, okay. And I was not a good TA. When two kids were talking, I was like, hey, stop. I literally just looked at them and went, stop. And then they were like super offended.

Yeah, I know. What? So I don't know if I'm not assertive enough where I was like, did I go like stop like in a very like, please? You know what I mean? Like was it a very – Yeah, I went would stop did you say stop or did you say i should have said that you're too empowered with that yo i got the new soundboard and you know i'm getting and uh and then i remember i got a day job that was i was like yeah i'm gonna take that and the teacher was like no you can't leave me and i was like sorry sorry, I'm going to take that. And the teacher was like, no, you can't leave me. And I was like, sorry. And then I just left. Yeah.

And I don't miss it. That was at the turn of people being on their phones everywhere. Like it was right at that period. So it was. What were you studying? What's your master's degree in? Well, I didn't finish. Oh, hell yeah.

I dropped out because I wanted to do comedy. Cool. What would it have been? Good idea. It would have been in screenwriting. Oh. I had already like, yeah. just a real unique LA thing. I also got my-

You know who has a master's in screenwriting? It's Kaylin Durante. Kaylin Durante, yeah. Okay, I just want to make sure we all know that we're on the same page. Let's get back into what I think we're going to talk about. So first off, we found out Tiffany Haddish has a very interesting way to hear feedback after auditions. And I think it's perfect. And, you know, some of y'all casting directors should be ashamed.

What else? Oh, okay. It's June now. Pride month. So inevitably, a lot of Pride merch is being sold. Brands. So, yeah, we are going to look into a few things that look like, you know, actual worthwhile promotions of Pride Month. And others just seem like, you know, just opportunistic bullshit.

You proud to be queer? Have a cheeseburger, dummy. Love it. Yeah. Hey, gay is like, you know, gay is like sneakers, too. Shoes. Not just for straights anymore. Exactly.

Line up at Supreme. Yeah. Line up at Supreme. Yeah, line up at Supreme, exactly. All proceeds go to, what is it, the Carlisle Group or whatever? Nasty mega-corp product. All proceeds go to shareholders. Yeah. Then we're talking about, oh, you know, Trump had to pivot, obviously, because the Robert Mueller stuff got too real for him.

So now he's just trying to make Mexico the new Russia. And we'll talk about how that's going not well uh what else what else oh we got to talk about the thing that exploded the internet on friday which was the revelation that keanu reeves might be old and alone and dusty yeah he might have fallen but we got to get him up. I've got a plan. You've got a plan. You're armed with many anecdotes. We're going to explore this a little bit.

Because it turns out this story was not quite fully sincere, but I don't think that changes anything about how we feel about him. But there's kernels of truth in it that, uh, that the public needs to know about. Oh, 100%. Yes. And that's all we do here. We talk truth.

Um, and finally we'll talk about the egg industry. Just really desperately telling us to eat more eggs, please. Uh, as well as, you know, Whitney Houston,

her comeback, uh, because it's highly anticipated and three dimensional. Yeah. So before we do all that, Eli. Yes. Andale. Whitney Houston, her comeback, because it's highly anticipated and three-dimensional. So before we do all that, Eli. Yes. Andele, Andele, mommy. Eli, Eli.

Uh-oh. Tell us something about your search history that's revealing about who you are. This was literally when I was thinking about my search history, it was all populated with different types of OtterBox searches for the last two weeks because I got a new phone and I've been obsessed with trying to get an OtterBox that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Let's see your new phone. Oh, that's a phone. Oh, wow. Oh, you already got the OtterBox.

I got the box. You got it. You got the box? I got the box. I got my box. Are you a serial phone breaker? No. That's why I'm more obsessed with the box because I haven't.

It hasn't happened yet. Keep the streak alive. Yeah. And I feel like I'm putting it out. Most people are like, oh, I don't want to jinx it. No, I'm manifesting it. That's why I'm saying it out loud. Not breaking any phones.

2019. You're going to manifest a spirit of protection around your phone. Yes. I think that your phone. Yes. I think that's good. Yeah. Some might say your box is almost you indicating to the world that you are prepared for a drop. Yes. And you could be alternately manifesting a drop as well.

Protect, yes. I mean, it's a fine line. It gets kind of complicated. It's layered, to say the least. Yes. I got one of those poppers on last week. I got a Haritos popper. Pop socket? Yeah, to say the least. I got one of those poppers on last week. I got a Haritos popper. Pop socket?

Yeah, a little pop socket. Here's the thing. I was going to get a pop socket. Sorry to start something with. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing about pop sockets, folks. Go off.

Yes. Go off. Sorry, the Otterbox stand has logged on. Do you like it? Here's the thing. Do you like on. Do you like it? Here's the thing. Do you like it? It's the first thing, it's the last thing I touch before I go to bed,

and the first thing I touch before I wake up. So it's little Haritos pop socket. But is it when you take a selfie, do you, because that's when I was looking, all the ads are like, you can grip the phone better, and I'm like, isn't it just to, what is this for? Hold on.

Why do you... Hold on. Why do you have... Yeah. What do you think it's for? It sounds like an ASMR thing, but like for touch? I thought it was like just something to fidget with. Oh, yeah.

I thought you were just like, I'm nervous. It's because phones are getting so big and our hands are not. Yeah. It just helps. You are holding that thing so incorrectly that they got a pop socket police need to come and take you away. How do I?

You're holding it like an air hockey thing. How many fingers? Put it between both fingers. How is that going to help anything? Just for one hand. Or if you want to use it as a stand if you want to watch something horizontally. That's the big one.

Okay. That's what I thought it was exclusively for. Yeah. It doesn't. Hold on, Jamie. Let me see you hold that thing the way you were holding it originally. Yeah. Okay.

I am. This photo will be on Twitter for you to see how Jamie's holding technique is. I'm obsessed with how you're holding it. Okay. I'm learning. I'm learning. Yeah. Yeah. So I thought about getting one and I was like, I'm on the fence see how Jamie's holding techniques. I'm obsessed with how you're holding. Okay, I'm learning. Yeah, yeah. So I thought about getting one, and I was like, I'm on the fence. And Jamie's like, you know what?

I don't use it for the same reason everyone else does, but five stars out of five. Yeah. Is that right? It's basically a sex toy. Those photos will not be on my Twitter. Eli, what is something that is overrated? Ordering foods off apps. Oh, okay.

Go on. Now tell me more. Too expensive. Fair. It's, I would say 50% of the time it's right. Or by the time you get it, it's cold or soggy. And if it's wrong, or if they just straight up mess up the order, you have to like order all over. You can lose like two hours time.

Oh, yeah. You could. But I understand for some people it's convenient. For other people, money is not an issue. I'd love to be in their shoes. Yeah, I feel like it is a flex sometimes when people are like, you want me to just order something on Postmates?

I'm like, oh, so that's where you are in your life. Yeah, exactly. The casualness about it. They're like, why don't we just order in? And I'm like, I don't know. I've never been able to just casually think about it. But it doesn't always mean you're doing well. You could just be fucking just reckless and careless with your money.

That's true. Because sometimes, like, I don't know. I've been at friends' houses and they're like, do you want to order Taco Bell to the house? I was like, why? No, no, no, no, no. Look, I can get on board with Postmates and shit like that in certain contexts. Fucking fast food? No.

Never. And also fast food food like going there I don't know there's something tactile about it like going and doing it is part of the fun even going through

the drive-thru though that's what I mean like going through there I don't know there's something about it that makes me feel connected to humanity they know my Taco Bell

because I pull up and I go and they already know make the custom Mexi Melts and then maybe you know the caramel apple empanada but that's been discontinued

in some places as I've heard what is something that is underrated sweet and low what the fuck what jeez

every place in LA I did not expect to get attacked on this one I'm sorry you're not getting attacked I'm just disgusted not with you

with the idea of you I honestly I'm glad I'm glad that someone, I mean, this is a fun hill for you to choose to die on. Because you are wrong. Look, this is one of those things I'm okay with being canceled about. You know what?

I'm going to cancel myself on this one. Okay, we'll put a poll out on Twitter. Should Eli be canceled over this? Let's finish your take. Equal, Splenda, Truvia, Stevia. Disgusting. Just pure garbage. You know, I agree with that.

With you so far. So Sweet and Low is the only one I can tolerate. I'm an iced tea drinker. Don't drink anything warm. Sugar is not going to melt in there. It's just going to the bottom. So I have to pick one. Sweet and Low tastes so good.

And every place in Los Angeles just seems to be zeroing it out. Starbucks has equals version of Sweet and Low. I feel like Sweet and Low is associated with boomers or worse, people who are basically dead. Yeah, because it was the original fake sugar, or the one like, as a kid, I remember when it used to just be like, white packets of sugar or pink packets of Sweet and Low. That's all. And now there's white, yellow,

green, blue, fucking fuchsia. And all of them. I like the brown. Oh yeah, sugar in the raw. But that's,

isn't that, does that melt? No. That's the problem. That's for the hot. You know what I like? In Japan and other places too, they just have the syrup. Gum syrup as we call it.

But that's just sugar water. What's wrong with that? It's like simple syrup. I don't know, it's just, it's not the same. It's not the same. I don't know. It's just sugar. It's not the same. Then sugar?

Would you prefer sugar if it melted over sweet and low? Or you're just- Probably. You have a shirt on that if we pulled up the Pantone number, I believe would just be sweet and low. And you got the sweetener tee on. Yep. This feels very on brand for you. Not a coincidence.

So what are you promoting? Yeah. I'm here to promote a couple things, guys. Okay. Here to tell you sweet and low is only carried at two places right now that I frequent. Where? You're going to love this one, Jamie. Dunkin'.

Oh, good. I mean, they do not discriminate. She's back. Yeah. I'm okay. I'm coming back. And then Chipotle has it. Oh.

It's weird. Chipotle only has regular sugar and Sweet and Low, nothing else. When I think of Sweet and Low, I think of my great-a mary just stealing fistfuls of it and like anywhere ed friendlies i mean look i've had to grab it before from i one time went across the street to a starbucks grabbed one and so i could put my coffee bean iced tea have sweet and low in it wow wow straight up yep done it no one stopped me only in la only in la only by eli it's you so because what sweet and low is has saccharin i Yep. Done it. No one stopped me. Only in LA, baby. Only in LA. Only by Eli. Because what's sweet and low has saccharin. It is. It's pure saccharin.

And I remember back in the day, like, cause cancer. And then people were like, that study was all fucked up. And now we're back to sac. And also, I think Equal and Splenda have- Aspartame. Yes. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, aspartame, which is actually worse for you.

Aspartame. Aspartame. Yes. Which is worse for you. Sounds like a Lord of the Rings name. As for you. Aspartame. Aspartame. Yes. Which is worse for you. Sounds like a Lord of the Rings name. Aspartame. Aspartame. Aspartame.

Isildur. No. Okay, cool. So we got that done. Is it cool, though? I feel like there's a lot of tension in the room. No, no, no. I mean, it is gross.

You've walked, you've walked, you've, I'm less angry about it now. Okay, so. They have it at Dunkin' Donuts. You've walked, you've walked, you've, I'm less angry about it now. Okay. They have it at Dunkin' Donuts. You got her with Dunkin' and I just, you got me when you basically said all them other shits are trash because they are trash. Yeah. Because that fake shit just does not taste right. It's so, it like Splenda to me tastes like metal.

I don't know. That was, I literally was drinking my iced tea. I'm like, what is this metallic taste in my mouth? I wouldn't have some kind of exam if that's coming off as metal tea. That may, in fact, be a stroke. Yes. Well, finally, Eli, what is a myth? What's something that I always mess up the wording of this, but what's some shit that

people be getting wrong and you're like, no, that's not it. That's right. You did it right. What's the current tips about sleeping is people say that don't have't have like lights on, you know, like don't have certain, like don't have your phone screen in your face. Sure. But you can watch TV and pass out. I was talking to someone about this.

Like, hey, you shouldn't even be watching TV. I'm like, yeah, if the TV's like 20 feet away from you, I do it every night. Sleep like a baby. Is it because of the blue light? I guess. No, that's why like a lot of people like to do that night shift. Right. Or like I have the thing on my computer too that'll phase out the blue light.

I put on a timer on my TV when I go to sleep. That's what I do. Yeah. Okay, so your myth is that that's bullshit because you sleep with the TV on all the fucking time.

Yeah, I can fall asleep watching TV. It's not five feet from my face but it's still, like I can sleep and I sleep like a baby. It's not like fucking up my sleep. Does the TV,

like does what's happening in the TV ever like seep into your dreams? Because that does happen to me every once in a while. Like, I'll be falling asleep and I'll think

I'm still watching TV but I'm sort of in my feelings about something sad. It only happens if it's something I've never watched before so I exclusively

don't do that anymore. I'll just watch Comfort Food to go to bed. Or if it is something that I haven't seen before, it's got to be pretty harmless. Like, I can't even think

of a good example right now but, oh, you know what? I didn't really watch Friends growing up. If that's on TV, it's got to be pretty harmless. I can't even think of a good example right now. But like, oh, you know what? I didn't really watch Friends growing up. If that's on TV, that's fine. I can fall asleep to it. I don't typically because now I'm just, I watch it and I'm like, is this a good show?

I might get canceled for that one. I listen to- It's up to you, you know? It's not for me. I listen to ASMR to go to sleep or there's this YouTube channel about the history of roller coasters but that shit I'm not going to sleep wait on YouTube you said? that's probably how Sonny got red pilled because you left that shit running

and then eventually it was like he wakes up and is like throw your votes in the trash take on the identity of someone who's been dead I'm obsessed with sunny's instagram obsessed thank you he just hit 4k not 4k 2k but let's put it out there wait a lie yeah let's we're manifesting on this episode let's put it out there uh let's get into the story i guess now uh there was a recent article i guess it was like what hollywood reporter did a round table is

that who was yeah it was the Queens of Comedy issue. And who are the Queens of Comedy? Here they are. Jane Fonda. Okay. Regina Hall. Okay. Maya Rudolph.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Natasha Lyonne. Okay. Alex Borstein. Yep, yep. And Tiffany Haddish. Yes. Yes.

And they were just talking, you know, their secrets, their experiences, their lives. That's actually a really good round table. Yeah. their experiences, their lives. That's actually a really good roundtable. Yeah. And Tiffany Haddish, though, had a very interesting anecdote because she was talking about something she used to do in auditions because she wanted to get honest feedback

because she just didn't believe what she was hearing. It's brilliant. It's brilliant. Peep this clip. You know what I would do? I would put my phone on voice memo, put it in my bag, do the audition, walk out the room, leave my bag. You're nasty. Oh, would you?

Really? What would you hear? Come back. Be like, oh, I forgot my purse in there. Get my purse. You've actually done that for me. Get in the car. Let me look under the table.

We need him. What would you hear? I'd love to. You can't do it at a show. You just told everyone. She's not as urban as I thought she would be. I knew that was the word. Yeah.

That's the word I don't want to hear. Or they would be like, she's so ghetto. I just can't. Her boobs aren't big enough. But I really think we should just go with a white girl. She's not. She's not. This role should be changed to white.

Oh, if her hair was going better. Wait, how many rooms did you leave it in? A lot. It was like my MO. Hey, why not? I mean, that's smart, but also devastating. Yeah, and that's just such an indictment on why there's such a little representation in film.

Yep. Where you have people, the gatekeepers are like. Well, because it's like, yeah, who are in those rooms most of the time that you're leaving your phone back there. Yeah. And that is like, that's also the person who are in those rooms most of the time that you're leaving your phone back there. Yeah. And that is like, that's also the person who's probably saying that is like a corporate drone.

That's what's so frustrating about all of this. Like this isn't a person who gives a shit about the movie or the TV, whatever they're doing. They're just like, this product, that is literally what they're thinking in their head. And then there's this filter that goes, call product movie. Or call product TV show. And unrelated, they're almost always ugly as fuck. Yes. Agreed wholeheartedly. And then you leave the room, and then they call you weird looking. I'm like, ugh.

It's like, buddy, this is why you're on that end of the equation. Wow. Yeah. Shots of fire. I am with Jamie Loftus on this one. Can't no buddy Jamie Loftus. There is some fun. I mean, getting direct feedback after an audition.

I mean, Tiffany Haddish is stronger than I am because I've gotten direct feedback and I was like, oh, fuck. And then I got to, you know. You're like, I got to go to Duncan now. I was like, I got to go off the grid for a couple of days. And people are always like when they, they're always like the casting process is not personal. That sounds pretty fucking personal. Oh, it's extremely personal. Oh, she's so ghetto. I just can't. Yeah. I'm sorry, what casting process is not personal. That sounds pretty fucking personal. Oh, it's extremely personal.

Oh, she's so ghetto. I just can't. Yeah. I'm sorry, what? It's extremely personal. It's like a nonstop personal attack. Yeah, it's so crazy. They're like, yeah, no, it's not personal.

It's just the business. It's not personal. Your boobs are just all weird and small. Please go, you're ghetto. Yeah, get the fuck out of here. And they're like, I'm sorry, how am I supposed to take that? It's not personal. Fuck off.

Yeah. It's not personal. You'll never work again. Someday someone is going to be looking for a girl with a light mustache. And then that's when I'm really going to shine. Oh, you know what? We got to make our own opportunities. Yeah.

24. Get down here. This year, women with mustaches is going to be able to vote. I can feel it. I can feel it. Also, if you want to ruin some friendships, use Tiffany Haddish's voice memo technique and leave some shit after you leave a group. Terrifying.

You know what I mean? And come back, I'm like, oh, I forgot my purse. Then you listen back. You're like, ugh. Jamie always thinks she's trying to be funny. I love shit. I recorded a show I did, a full hour show about a year ago. And the camera was behind two audience members

that I didn't know. And at the end of the tape, I won't say which show it was, year ago and i left like the camera was behind two audience members that i didn't know and like at the end of the tape i won't say which show it was but it was uh like they were like huh that was okay like i was like oh that was devastating i don't think their their their uh their brains were robust enough to handle your comedy there yeah. I'm just galaxy braining over here. I don't even know how to use a fucking Haruto's pop song. Saying it's okay is like worse than bad. Yeah. Really?

I don't know. No, not really. But I don't know. Just something about hearing like okay. It's like this weird thing that it didn't even. It's so vague. You don't quite. I didn't get anything.

Elaborate. Yeah. It's like what can I do to improve? Right. Exactly. But this, I mean, the Tiffany Haddish comments especially are like so pointed. Oh, yeah. get anything elaborated yeah it's like what can I do to improve right exactly but this I mean the Tiffany Haddish comments especially

are like so pointed oh yeah like ugh ugh well hey you know at least she's in

everything now yeah and now she's exactly and I bet oh god I hope she goes to see some of these

Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we are back. Now, it's June. It's Pride Month. Shout out to all LGBTQIA. Plus people out there. All the Zeit Gang.

All y'all. Which means, look, when we see Pride Month, we see a lot of great events, a lot of notable things happening, and we all see a lot of merchandise. Now, our writer, J.M. McNabb, has gone through some things and tried to read between the lines to see some of the decent merch that's out there and some things that are just straight up fucking cynical cash grabs. I am excited for this.

And there are many. I love when the brands try to participate. It's my favorite. Okay. So up first, Marks and Spencer, the English supermarket chain, they had a sandwich called the LGBT. Lettuce, guac, bacon, and tomato. Oh my God.

And they, look, they had a lot of people fucking pressed. They were tight on Twitter when they saw this because it's like, one was perfect. There's a tweet that just has the photo of this on display and says, Marks and Spencer threw the first artisanal sandwich at Stonewall.

Are they giving any money to anyone? That's the thing. So when you look at it, there's nothing on there aside from a rainbow flag and LGBTQ+, and just the design of the package. That's all it says. So they're like, the sandwich is queer. What more do you want? Yeah, exactly.

Hi, we've reduced you to a sandwich the sandwich is queer. What more do you want? Yeah, exactly. Hi, we've reduced you to a sandwich. This is you. What a dream. Hey, all my lettuce, guac, bacon, and tomatoes out there. Are you questioning

what to put on this bread? It's lettuce, bacon, tomato, quinoa. What could be an I food? Oh, ice. Ice. Iceberg lettuce.

I mean, that's twice lettuce. Oh, boy. Okay, this is why we don't work for Marks & Spencer. But anyway, so at first, there wasn't anything indicated on the packaging anywhere on the sandwich. And now Marks & Spencer claim that they had made donations to a charity,

but you never knew that. A lot of people were just like, this doesn't make sense. But it seems like this is a tactic a lot of places are using that are just saying like, oh, we give to charities. So that's why we can just exploit this

because we gave a little bit of money. Like, and I'm sorry, 10,000 pounds is not enough. I'm sure you made more than 10,000 pounds on selling these sandwiches. On these, yeah. Because it is a false, when you do something like make a weird sandwich

for Pride Month, you are leading people to believe that it is for something other than just giving money to your business. Which by the way, all the people who bought them were just straight people that are like, oh, I'm participating.

Yeah, right. I'm an ally. Exactly. Oh God. People holding it, they're like, I'm gonna say I wasn't an ally. I got Oh, God. People holding it, they're like, I'm going to say I wasn't an ally. I got this sandwich.

Also, Starbucks, they have a little thing. They have a Pride-branded love Tumblr. And again, there isn't any indication of where the money goes. But Starbucks, credit to them as a company, has a very good record with LGBTQIA plus people that work for them, whether it's medical benefits and they also pay for, I think subsidized

for gender reassignment. Yeah. And if you're part-time, I think you get benefits too. The only time Starbucks misstepped was when they switched sweet and low

to equal sweet and low. That's my only problem with Starbucks. You lie. Blasphemy. Where were we? Sorry. Howard Schultz

is spinning in his early grave. Now, yeah, so I guess, you know, Starbucks, I think we can, I think they're okay on that one. I guess, are we okay? Where do we fall on that one? That's one of the better ones. Yeah, I mean, it's like if they have an actual. They're doing right by people.

Exactly. Yeah. I think that that's a good one. Like, we're the fucking adjudicators of this right now. Actually, we get to decide. Yes, triumvirate of nobodies will then decide. Okay, also, Target, they have fucking everything. They do.

They have a fucking Pride-branded line of clothing, T-shirts, tank tops, swimwear, slip lock, accessories, jumpsuits, razors, everything. They'll take it all. Fucking mouthwash. They have Pride mouthwash? Yes. What? Yeah, Iors, everything. Mouthwash. They'll take it all. Fucking mouthwash. They have pride mouthwash? Yes. What? Yeah, I don't, look. Something about that is real off.

I don't know what it, I think yes. It's just, it just must be the labeling. That's all any of these things are. But again, this one, according to the website, they're just sort of like, we've already donated $100,000 to an organization that aims to end bullying and discrimination in schools based on gender identity and sexual orientation. Now get all this stuff. Didn't also like a few years ago they get in trouble for

donating to like anti-LGBTQ like they were in hot water. People were like and the big thing was like well we can't protest Target. A lot of people were having a hard time. They were like I can't shop anywhere else. I live in the middle of nowhere. You know what I mean? Like it's either that or walmart so it's like picking the worst oh yeah target to stop funding anti-gay groups yeah uh so when was this eight years ago

okay okay so they've i guess done a not a 180 maybe like a 80 yeah a 75 80 we'll call it a 90 uh but yeah again so this whole thing of like, just saying like, well, we donated $100,000, I think is not very sincere in the sense that when you think about whatever these profit margins are, I think it pales in comparison to the volume of sales they would do if they just said, hi, how about 30% of everything you buy

is going to something, Half, all, whatever. I mean, really, it should be all. I don't see, I mean, unless, again, if you, unless like the sale of this is funding some other thing that is an organization that is already doing good, it's kind of interesting to sort of pride wash your business like that. Yeah, absolutely. I think there should be some sort of like policy in place of if you're going to co-opt something like Pride Month. And that's not even a bad thing.

It means in a general sense that this is something that the general public is amenable to, that it is something that makes your business look better for participating in. So even when businesses fucking suck, I'm glad that it is advantageous to be participating. But there should be some sort of guideline of, if you're going to do that, it cannot be a transparent cash grab. There has to be something. Welcome to Capitalist Hell. But they are selling Harry's razors, and the Harry's razors that they're selling through Target for Pride,

all of those proceeds go to the Trevor Project. So, you know, you did one out of maybe 100 items. I'm going to put that one on Harry's Razors as doing the right thing, not on Target. Yeah, right, not Target. Unless, does Target own Harry's Razors? I'm pretty sure they're their own thing. Yeah, they're their own thing. But you know who is surprisingly has a good track record, it seems?

Who? Bud Light. Wow. Bud Light apparently has been... Nice. Okay, so they have their cans. I don't know. I've seen them.

I was two seconds behind you on that. You know them, you love them. A Bud Light can. Catch up, catch up. Now, for Bud Light, a dollar from each case goes to GLAAD. And they seem pretty happy. Even in their press release, GLAAD is saying saying in two decades of partnering with GLAAD,

Bud Light hasn't let the gay community down. And makers of the light beer still haven't had their fill of equality. Okay. Thank you, Bud Light. Wow. The pee-pee beer. Queer icon Bud Light. That is so.

Dilly fucking Dilly. Yep. All right. Who else? Who else? fucking Dilly. Yep. All right. Who else? Who else? Ikea. Ikea? They have a rainbow bag.

Okay. And that one, 100% of the proceeds go to the HRC Human Rights Campaign. Okay. What about their hot dog profits and the meatball profits and the food? What about the... They got good potatoes. If they should donate some of their food profits to something, because I eat $500 worth of meatballs there.

You do? Also? Yeah. Wait, how did I not know this about you? No, I really love it. You know my favorite thing? I used to work in Burbank. I used to work in Burbank also, and I used to go to Ikea for lunch.

Oh, my God. I worked at Power 106, where hip-hop lives. They're in Burbank? Yeah, they're in Burbank. Very hip hop. But like, yeah, I would go there all the time. I would drag people like, yo, we got to get the meatballs. And I had jury duty there in Burbank.

And I went to the new one when it opened up. And their food court was not ready yet. And it was devastating. Yeah, it was like a 20-minute walk from when I was working at Robot Chicken. And you would go and get just like a bucket of meatballs and just bring it back and just munch on them all damn day. You ever buy the frozen ones to make it home? No. They're all right.

Oh, cow. Wait, I didn't know that you could buy them at the store. Yeah, you get the gravy, too, and the packets. It's that popular. It's good. It's weird. That's like buying frozen TGI Friday's food. You know what I mean?

Sure. Even though it's probably the same thing. Well, I guess things that are deep fried that are frozen, like unless you're bringing that shit back to life in a deep fryer. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're messing with dads. That's the difference.

I feel like I've had pierogies there. Is that wrong? At Ikea? Yeah. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe it's a regional thing.

They should give some of their food profits to the queer community. Okay. Let's talk about some fuckery, though. Okay. The Trump campaign. They are also selling pride merchandise with a watercolor rainbow flag on the front that says LGBTQ for Trump.

Now, buy this shirt and get 20% off, and all of the proceeds go right into Donald Trump's pocket. No. And they're on sale because perhaps they're not a very popular sale for the store. No. And also, I mean, think about his record with LGBTQ people. What the fuck? I mean, it's absurd to even fucking sell that shit.

It's not like he's even trying to act like this is going anywhere else except for the campaign coffers. But when you look at everything else that's been going on and like nixing the protections of like trans homeless people who cannot get into shelters and things like that. Yeah. Whatever. I can start sweating, but it's too cold. I mean, not surprising at all. Fortunately, I cannot imagine many of these are being sold no yeah no no no no no no so uh but what's funny is a lot of the candidates are also

selling pride merchandise um but it seems like all of their merchandise is also going to their campaigns wait so there's a there's a Kamala Pride shirt, straight to the campaign. Old Obama's grandpa, Joe Biden, Pride tank top, straight to the campaign. Yeah. Elizabeth Warren, straight to the campaign.

Bernie Sanders, straight to the campaign. Beto O'Rourke, straight to the campaign. Whato O'Rourke, straight to the campaign. What about Pete? Ah. Ooh. Well, he has some shirts that commemorate the 50th anniversary,

and he's donating the proceeds from that merch to, as it says on the website, organizations working to advance the rights of transgender people across America. Okay, Pete. All right. Hey, Pete. And honestly, all of these candidates, if you're going to do that, right, you'd imagine the platforms you're running on, you wouldn't want to – if I was at a town hall, I'd be like,

how come all your pride merchandise just goes to your campaign? Yeah. I get that you're trying to say my campaign is representative of people and you can indicate that, but fuck. Just put a percentage of that. It's such bad. Aside from being selfish and bad, it's

also bad optics for all these candidates. Especially really progressive candidates. Position themselves as... I was none of them fucking done that. It's absurd to me. 10%? 20%?

Yeah. I get that, look, you don't want to take a loss on it. It's absurd to me. Like 10%, 20%? Yeah. I get that. Look, you don't want to take a loss on it. So figure out what it is, whatever your – cover your cost and then whatever and build that into your price and then everything else. Just give to – just donate that. Here's the thing. None of these candidates are poor.

That's what's crazy. Like none of them are like I can't eat the cost because then I can't feed my family. Yeah, or why don't you go to Pride events, print up a bunch for free, and just give them away? Right. Don't charge people for them. Agreed, 1,000%. Or I don't know if it's that there's maybe some kind of campaign finance law. No, that can't be because Pete's are going to— Yeah, because if Mayor Pete can do it, then why wouldn't anyone else do it?

And that dude is not even progressive. No. Yeah, that's like. But he gets it at least. I mean, he gets that much. Yeah. Good for y'all though. Well, yeah.

Good job, everyone. Yeah. So I guess Bud Light and Ikea. Yo, Bud Light. Yeah. Bud Light and Harry's Razors for president. Bud Light, Ikea 2020. 2020. Before, yeah. Bud Light and Harry's Razors for president. Bud Light, Ikea 2020. Before, what was it?

Sky Tic Tac 2020? Sky Tic Tac, Snake Flag 2020. Snake Flag, Snake Flag. Snake Flag. But now it's going to be Bud Light, Ikea 2020. Bud Light would be a very chill president. Bud Light, I don't know. Bud Light is also petty.

Bud Light would cut back on arts programs. Because remember, Bud Light, wasn't Bud Light coming out with the, they use corn syrup. Yep. Shit. And the judge told them to knock that shit off. They actually just got told in court that they have to stop doing that shit. Fashion would suffer under a Bud Light presidency. Yes.

But everything would be all over print. VPs would be reinvented by VP Ikea. That's true. Oh, yeah. That's true. Oh, yeah. That's true. Very minimal. Yeah. And I feel like food

would be a human right. Yeah. You know? Anyway, look, let's not create their platform for them. But if you can, please vote Bud Light IKEA 2020.

Bud Light IKEA snake flag. Yeah. Please vote the policy. Really quickly, Mexico. Now, Donald Trump said like on Thursday, he's like i'm gonna

have a real dramatic announcement i'm gonna do something really dramatic having to do with the southern border i'm gonna announce it uh i thought he was gonna be like we're declaring war on mexico or some shit like that yeah uh no it's just another fucking trade war uh because now he's basically hitting every mexican product that is crossing the border with a five percent tariff starting june 1st on all goods imported from Mexico. And then it goes on to say that Trump would carry out this threat, quote, under authority from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and that he would lift tariffs only if the illegal immigration crisis is alleviated through effective actions taken

by Mexico. First of all, Mexico is not the reason why this is happening no take a look at all the fucking regime change wars that were going on all the puppet governments the united states was installing in the fucking 70s and 80s that completely destabilize these places we have no interest in helping them only to exploit cheap labor and we've created places that are very hard for people to live in so they are trying to move to somewhere for safety how about we look at it from that place first but of course the nuance is lost and history is lost on this president he's i mean yeah he's just like doubling down to keep his base loyal yeah yeah not to mention this is a crisis he completely created

yeah we very much can take people into this country who are seeking asylum. Absolutely. He seems to not have a problem exploiting their labor at his golf clubs. So this is just a very disingenuous bullshit distraction because tidbit of news, Maggie Haberman, the Trump whisperer, she was on CNN saying that basically Trump reacted so erratically to the Mueller press conference because he didn't read the report and had only just gone off what Fox News and those William Barr press conferences were. Never read a word. And then so when he saw Robert Mueller say that shit on TV, like, I believe the president did that. He was like, what the fuck?

By the way, that's what the report says. He said that? Oh my God, we gotta start another trade war. We gotta change the narrative. Everything with him is just like a changing of the narrative of something horrible. Yes, and this is exactly what his supporters are like. He's like me.

He doesn't have to do all his homework. He just waits until the news reports it. He watches Fox News just like I do. Exactly. That's so fucking wild. And now that's why he's trying to do this whole thing

of like recontextualizing the crisis he created at the border as somehow being Mexico's fault. So to get the base to be like, yeah, fuck yeah,

let's fucking stick it to Mexico. However, just like with the Chinese tariffs, we are fucking paying for that. Yeah.

Not Mexico. Of course. It's not like, again, in his weird fucking whatever mind of his. Lizard head. I don't even, I can't even, I'm out of things to call this person. Yeah, it's like crazy. This human piece of detritus that he believes that somehow putting tariffs on these goods means that the Treasury Department is somehow just, their bank accounts are filling up. Like, he's been like, yo, Mexico, Venmo me $3 billion real quick for all this shit you

owe me. He doesn't understand how government works. Yeah, he doesn't understand even how business works. This is his second trade war of this year. I mean, yeah, when many more to come, I'm sure. The funny thing is Chuck Grassley couldn't even get behind it. Normally, he loves everything he does. And again, Chuck Grassley is only saying things behind it. Normally he loves everything he does.

And again, Chuck Grassley is only saying things because he won't do anything substantive about it. But he said trade policy and border security are separate issues. This is a misuse of presidential tariff authority and counter to congressional. You got a lot of different old man voices. Yeah, I hang out at a lot of Denny's. Yeah. So that's all I hear. I heard one no dentures, one with dentures. If there's no dentures, it's more like this.

And you're going to get a little bit more. Can I get a spoon to eat this? That is incredible. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Grassley, for coming in today. Thank you so much. You're so welcome.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Grassley, for coming in today. Thank you so much. You're so welcome. So, again, this is just more distraction that is throwing everything into disarray. Then, you know, they're trying to do trade deals with Mexico and Canada. That shit ain't going to happen when you're doing this bullshit.

So, anyway, Trump, please just go away. Is that good? Does that make sense if I just say that? Are all our problems solved in this country? Did I solve systemic racism by saying Trump, go away? Please just go away. Is that good? Does that make sense? If I just say that? Are all our problems solved in this country? Did I solve systemic racism? Yeah. By saying Trump, go away. Please just go away.

Yeah. My favorite kind of Twitter warrior. Trump, take. Actually, just stop. That'll solve it. Can you just take the L? Yeah. Can you please just take the L, Trump? Take the L train and get out of here.

Nothing is funny anymore. Well, yeah. And we've just, we've really gotten to this like full on dystopia now like nightmare we have people self-immolating in DC

yeah you know barely a splash of like hi this person had lost their fucking yeah

and it's not even a euphemism they literally self-immolated it was self-immolation which I mean that is significant yes and that people used to be like

oh my god but again it's just we'll just chalk it up to another you know the last time that got any kind of press was literally a Rage Against the Machine album cover right from a famous old picture

which my dad I remember when we first saw that album cover at a record store we were like looking through things and he had never heard of Rage and he saw that album cover and he was like what's this?

it's like the Rage album and he's never heard of Rage. And he saw that and he was like, what's this? It's like the Rage album. And he's like, all right, I'm buying this. And I was like, whoa. And at the time, I didn't get what was going on. I was like, why? And he's like, man, I was like, you know, I was really against the Vietnam War. And he's telling me about the history of those sort of protests.

And he's like, man, he's like, this band is probably on to something. And I was like, little did he know. I love that your dad might be a Rage Against the Machine fan. Rage boomer. One of my first concerts was Rage Against the Machine co-headlining with Wu-Tang Clan and Atari Teenage Riot. What was that, like Rock the Bells or something?

No, that was just like literally Rage Against the Machine, Wu-Tang Clan. This was right after, what was this? 9-11? Yeah, the day after. No, it was it was uh 97 wow yeah that was one of the first concerts i ever went to my mom took me what a cool mom huh yeah shout out to my mom did your mom where did she hang out was she with you yeah and she was like yeah let's rally around their family she's like yeah man those are the par'm on shit we were like it was pouring that day

everyone's like covered in mud it was so fucking wild and she survived how did she what was the car ride back like oh she just was I mean it was just

perfectly normal we were just like she just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna catch a cold from the rain and the wind that was all she was just being mom

there's like a mosh pit forming and she's like comes in and is like I'm sorry I'm sorry Eli Eli this is my son this is my son don't hurt him be careful mohawk guy I'm sorry I'm sorry Eli this is my son this is my son don't hurt him

be careful Mohawk guy I'm watching you that's actually not that far off she's just like careful everybody careful everybody

I'm his mother and I'm right next to you I mean that was one of the craziest concerts in an amphitheater because they obviously they were huge at that point

this was like peak evil empire and why am I blank was Wu-Tang Forever the second album Wu-Tang Forever was the second album came out inTang Forever was the second album that came out in 1997

or 1996 actually so that is perfect timing. And also if people listening don't know one of my favorite bands was the opener which was Atari Teenage Riot

which is like this insane digital hardcore band. So literally for three hours it was just pure fucking bliss. Yeah. Bliss decks. Everybody

back then they didn't say it but back then everybody was going off yeah oh that's yeah they're going off in the comments we have a time traveler all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered.

Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And we just need to talk about something that was very personal to me. This is, yeah, this is the news I'm here for. When everyone read this simple just excerpt from an interview that Keanu Reeves had done with, I believe, a Malaysian website,

it had the internet a flutter. And this is just, the name of the article was like, Keanu Reeves is a lonely guy. Yeah, which first of all, I'm hooked. Listen to this line. Yeah, same. Let's listen to this and imagine Keanu Reeves saying it lonely guy. Yeah. Which, first of all, I'm hooked. Listen to this line. Yeah, same. Let's listen to this, and imagine Keanu Reeves saying it.

You mean romantic love? You know, I'm the lonely guy. I don't have anyone in my life. But if it does occur, I would respect and love the other person. Hopefully it'll happen for me. Wow. He's not like the other boys. Oh, my God. He's not like the other boys. I would God. He's not like the other boys.

I would respect and love. That, I'm wet reading this. Okay. No, because I urinated myself. You changed my pants. Well, I drank a lot of coffee. I came. Yeah.

Good. Everyone gets horny reading this. Yeah. I'm horny for it because I feel like he sounds like such a sweet man who deserves love and he's not getting it. And there's been other celebrities who have tried to pull the quote unquote lonely guy line. Like who? But Jake Gyllenhaal is always doing it. And I'm just like, maybe you just can't be loved.

He's always just like, I want my sister to sing. Stop being creepy in your movies. I saw Nightcrawler. I saw Nightcrawler. I love Nightcrawler. But he's. Would you fuck Nightcrawler Jake Gyllenhaal? No. Okay.

He's a dirty man. But he, but like. I mean, yeah. And it's like, he's playing now a guy called Mysterio. Like, come on. Come on. But with Keanu, it really, like his history backs up the Lonely Guy comic. The memes, everything.

Yeah. One thing I do have to say before we get into this, I'm sure people are tearing their hair out listening to this, is that this is actually fake. This comment did not happen. His spokesperson came out, like a publicist, and was like, this is pieced together. It says, quote, this interview did not happen.

This was pieced together from several interviews, and the majority of these questions were not asked nor answered. They are fabricated. Right. So, which, fair. But it doesn't change anything in my mind because if... It fits with the brand. It fits his brand.

And also, I believe Keanu deserves love. And he is currently single. I mean, if you haven't read Keanu Reeves' full Wikipedia page, truly, it is a stirring read. He has had a fascinating life. Truly. I will not. I mean, some of it is truly very sad. Really?

He's been through a lot of stuff. a lot of stuff and uh and he has this uh reputation now and i have some collected anecdotes of being a very eccentric friendly kind person right your first anecdote that i only like kianu reeves your anecdote about him when you worked at the bookstore yes he would call you ahead of time everyone's day mr reeves what do you say he would would say, hello, this is Mr. Reeves. I'm on my way to get my books. And what were his books? Sudoku Puzzles. I love that he called those books.

Wow. Yes. Sudoku Puzzles. And he would get like one novel as well. Because he has like, I worked at Book Soup on the Sunset Strip. And he has been going there for as long as I've been alive. He lives in WeHo, I think. Yeah, I think it must be near where he lives.

Because he's seen a lot in that area. Yeah, yeah. So what are these collected works? Yes. Okay, so think it must be near where he lives. Because he's seen a lot in that area. Yeah, yeah. So what are these collected works? Okay, so I tweeted that out two weeks ago, and people started responding with their – I mean, there's been a lot of people in Los Angeles who have close encounters of the Keanu kind. So here are some of my favorites. User at Levi Harris said, some of my favorites.

User at Levi Harris said, my stepdad built him a custom motorcycle and as a thanks, he came over and enjoyed a home-cooked meal with my parents. Wow. That's one very sweet. He's just like, I bet Keanu's just weeping at the table.

He's like, is everything okay, Mr. Reeves? Yes. I just haven't had a home-cooked meal in 30 years. I just kind of miss this. This is my favorite one. This is from at Elise underscore wisdom. He came into the Arclight once when I was working there, movie theater. Wore his motorcycle helmet inside, took it off, bought his ticket from me,

asked about the soup, then put the helmet back on and went to the snack bar. He was seeing Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Wait, so he walked into the theater with a motorcycle helmet on? Daft Punk mode. Took it off because I think maybe he doesn't want people to bug him, but he was just like, one for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. And then just puts it back on. Does he lift a visor?

Does he kind of half take it off? I didn't have the- One for Vicky Christina. Yeah. And then just puts it back on. Does he lift a visor? Does he kind of half take it off? I didn't have the, I didn't have the. One for Vicky Christina. He has about the soup and a movie theater. I work at the ticket counter. You got to go to the overpriced bar, sir, for that. Another one, I worked at a hotel in Toronto and he would sometimes have cupcakes for breakfast. Aw.

There's a, there's an old story old story about an actor. Okay, so Keanu Reeves, an actress who is now very famous. But this was before she was just doing bit parts. No one knew who she was. Her car, something happened with her car. She had to pull over in the side of the road and like get her car like physically pulled over. And this happened in front of some restaurant in LA. And who comes up, a Keanu is like, I'll help you. And he pulled the car to the side of the road with her. And it was Octavia Spencer. Spencer, I knew it. Yes.

I remember when I read that story, I was like, holy shit, this guy is the best. And then the final one that, okay. Favorite celebrity story is a Keanu Reeves story he was going home with a woman on his motorcycle he pulled up in front of a 7-Eleven

turned to her and said get whatever you want wow which is my fucking dream oh my god

isn't that so that is incredible that is all I ever wanted Also think about his Feminist icon qualities too Yes The movie counts

Yeah He has been in More Like More movies directed by women Than really any major actor Working by a lot Combined

Yes Will Smith has zero I think Tom Cruise has one Or zero Everyone talks about like Action stars during their heyday. And I'm like, back at that same time, Keanu was doing these. And we took him completely for granted.

Point Break, great movie. Anybody who says otherwise or thinks it's aged. They're simply wrong. Completely. Couldn't agree more. I'm an FBI agent. Man, remember Point Break Live? Yeah.

Did you ever go? I didn't, but one of my friends actually got picked to be Keanu. Got to be Johnny Utah. Fuck. Man, I used to go I'm like please make me Johnny Utah yeah I missed it

by the time right when it wrapped I was like fuck I should have gone for people who don't know Breakpoint Live Point Break Live

Breakpoint was a live show where people were reenacting the movie basically line for line and they always just got a random person from the audience

to play Keanu because like he can't act that well. And you can still probably find it on YouTube. There's a clip of somebody saying the I'm an FBI agent and seeing the entire place lose their fucking mind, like, screaming it along. And the cast was so fun. I saw that video.

The cast was, like, having fun jumping around, too. Good times. Good times to be had there. So he deserves love. He is a sweet, kind angel. He has soup at the movies. And he truly, I would like in the worldwide mythos for Keanu Reeves anecdotes to supplant Bill Murray anecdotes. Yeah, I was about to say, right.

Because I think I've talked about this on the show before. I cannot stand Bill Murray anecdotes. Yep. Stay at home. It's the same four ones. It is. Yeah, no, no. It's always, you're never going to believe this. And they're all very invasive and weird.

Yes, I agree. Keanu is just existing in the world and helping when people need it. He's not forcing himself. If Keanu Reeves shows up at your apartment party, it's not because he just busted in the door and was like, what's up? It's because he was probably sobbing on the stoop of the building. Someone said, hey, are you all right, man? He i'm good man just looking for love and they're like hey you want to come to a party and he's like sure i'm so i'm so glad you said the bill murray thing i

always think about that too i'm like none of this sounds whimsical at all and he's like eating it gross and he's also a woman beater so i just don't stand him what at. Look it up. Oh, shit. Yeah, he's bad. Not a fan. Don't like him. I'll do it. I'll cancel him on the Daily Zyka. No, don't. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Don't cancel him. I just think that Keanu, I mean, it checks. I understand why people like Bill Murray anecdotes, but these ones check all the same boxes. And it's from a nicer person. And he gave all his Matrix money to the crew. You know about that? That might be a myth, though.

Oh, no. I thought he said in an interview recently where he's like, I wish that wasn't public information. It wasn't supposed to be public information. Really? But apparently, yeah, he made over $100 million from all three Matrixes combined and he kept I think 25% of it or something. Yeah, and he's like, what am I gonna do with it?

It's not like I have a family. Yeah, yeah, he's like, oh God. And they're like, ugh, you know what, dude? Just forget it. You keep the money. I can't stand you, man.

You're always fucking emo-ing it up around me. Yeah. He makes emo look fucking good. I wonder if the other reason is he's just so emo around people. Like, dude, honestly, Keanu's a good guy, but he always makes the conversations

about him and his loneliness and it's kind of a drain, but like he always makes the conversations about him and his loneliness and it's kind of a drain but whatever also I'll say hopefully this doesn't bring the conversation down too much he you know his fiance I believe I don't think they were officially married yet passed away when she was eight months pregnant with his

kid yeah well there oh I was yeah that's too sad to say I'm sorry guys yeah I just but also like at this point if he wants to live a solitary life yeah like that's too sad to say on the podcast. I'm sorry, guys. But also, at this point, if he wants to live a solitary life, that's a choice, and I'm fine. Whatever, you know Keanu. I want him to have whatever it is he wants. Whatever you want, let us know. Keanu Reeves, if you're listening, tell us what you need.

We will get it for you. I love you, Keanu. In conclusion, Bill Murray is a domestic abuser who told his wife he was lucky he didn't kill her. Is that what he said? Yeah. I saw you type it in your computer. I had to find the receipt. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What? Yeah. In the details of his divorce, there is a lot of shit. Well, yeah. And also those Bill Murray stories, those just operate on the mythos and the celebrity of it. Yes. It's not about him doing anything necessarily like cool. It's like, oh my god how what a kind

god for him to come down to the mortal level right anyone else did what he did they would just be an intrusive alcoholic and someone would call the police right yeah and when he when he leaves he's like did it again you know like that's you can totally tell that's like he's like he's like yeah i'm still got that cool uncle quality yeah he wants to make sure he's still that version of whatever people have. You know what I mean? He's like, all right, good. The brand is there for another month. Right.

Keanu, my heart is with you. Your heart, go on. Really quickly, I also just want to talk about Whitney Houston. Because since her death in 2012, her estate has been very reluctant to do any kind of business regarding her estate and her likeness or catalog, all of that. But that is all changing because her former manager and executive of her estate, who was also her sister-in-law, has announced that they're doing a deal with Primary Wave Music. And they're a company that specializes in making money off of iconic music catalogs. And they're a company that specializes in making money off of iconic music catalogs. And they also do stuff to like, they want to help rehab her image since the years leading up to her passing were not the most beneficial to her legacy.

But the latest thing that they're doing now is making her a hologram. And I don't know. I mean, look, do what you got to do. Get those checks as long as you're doing it the right way but the thing that really kind of struck me about this whole thing is that this is like a whole industry now yeah that's based off of taking just old catalogs yeah and like making as like generating as much content and business out of it like than other things so isn't there like a bill Billy holiday or there's like, I think a Billy holiday, uh,

yeah. In Hollywood. Yeah. Hologram show. You can see like Roy Orbison. Yeah. It's like a whole, it's like,

I think even like Mozart, there's even people who like, we've never seen on video. We're not totally sure what they look like. Yeah. This is a composite of Mozart performing. Yeah. Enjoy.

It's the guy from Amadeus, basically. Y'all remember him. I don't really object to holograms. I mean, I've never been to one. I saw the Tupac hologram. You did? Oh, yeah. You were there?

I was there. Oh, my God. Weekend two. I think it was the first year they started doing two weekends. And I went because we were like, we're tired. We got to go. And it was funny. I saw a huge

fistfight breakout between Dodgers and Giants fans right in front of me and I was like yeah beat his ass um love that Coachella LA is there yeah well you know when when you get like the the real like Tupac people who like grew up on that and you start seeing Dodgers San Francisco Giants gear and that was already a very rough time in sports. Anyway, but that hologram was interesting. It was in no way me being like, that's Tupac up there. But it's cool to, from 900 yards away, be like, oh yeah, I see a little light there. That's Tupac.

Cool. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's, I'm not opposed to it. Yeah. It wasn't even more that I brought it up because I'm like this is appalling it was more that

this place this like primary wave thing they are all about just taking these huge names that aren't really making music anymore so like Smokey Robinson Def Leppard

Kenny Loggins Paul Anka yeah I love that Paul Anka who I thought was the dog from Gilmore Girls I didn't know that was a dude

you didn't know that was a man didn't know because I don't watch the show enough, and I'd just be like, who the fuck is Paul Anka? Because Her Majesty watches all the time. He's like, that's the dog. And I'm like, okay.

And then I saw him, like, oh, that's a singer. Anyway, but they basically have been raising a lot of money because asset managers and state pension funds and investors are looking into this new business of getting into these catalogs because their whole thing is that like with streaming, the value of these songs has like, it's become a very viable investment product. Right. Because a lot of people are like just listening to these older songs over and over and they're like,

yo, new songs is not where it's at because those songs flame out really quickly and they don't have the same kind of long-term like play life right that these things have of like the smokies of the world the whitneys of the world the roy orbison it's so crazy that now at like a wedding if someone makes a spotify playlist people are getting royalties from someone's wedding oh right yeah exactly that's what's happening yeah that's why they want to do it because they're like oh we can make money off this song just playing somewhere at a restaurant or something. I wonder how much that falls into the conversation of just reboot culture in general right now. I feel like it's sort of the musical version of that of like, oh, well, new artists and new ideas aren't as profitable.

So let's literally bring people back from the dead or bring people out of retirement. so let's like literally bring people back from the dead or bring people out of retirement without. I don't know. I mean, I don't dislike it as much as I dislike, you know, like Disney reboots because I feel like this is like for a specific, this is for a specific crowd. But it is, I don't know.

I'll have to cook on that. Did you guys talk about the Disney thing this week? The Lion King trailer? It is so weird it's they literally all just look that all the lions look the same one just has more hair than another and like eyes are bigger yeah i didn't i only saw the teaser i didn't watch the new one it's so crazy how what you're talking about i cannot stand disney doing this where they're like they're like you know it's like the things the imagination that we used to have in

these we kind of took that out. It's like, what if real lions talk? Yeah, yeah. I'm not as interested in that. My favorite one is Lady and the Tramp is just a JPEG of two dogs and they're like, coming next year, two dogs. You're like, what the fuck would you?

Yeah. But they're like, we're going a step further to make it real. There's no dialogue because dogs don't talk. Because dogs be barking and I don't even have the energy to be mad about it. I'm like yeah you're going to make a million billion dollars and the water wars are in ten years. Who cares?

Wow. It's true. I wish this is what First Reformed was about. Like the ice caps melting but also Disney remakes. Ethan Hawke is just a priest who's like someone has to do something. Something. Oh well Eli thank you so much for joining us today.
