For March 21st, 2018, it's Wednesday. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Jack O'Brien. Brimey, brimey, brimek.a. Jack O'Bri-me-a-river. Bri-me, bri-me. That was courtesy of me. The ironing is delicious, and I am joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. That's right. It's your boy, Roland J's Israel Stress Choir in the building. Actually, I don't smoke stress, so never mind that.

That was a homemade a.k.a. because I just think of him in the car on the way here. Nice. And we are thrilled to be joined by the hilarious comedian noah garden schwartz hey what's up forgot to come up with a cool moniker but having to be here nonetheless you've got the coolest moniker there is the man who lives and breathes nugs there it is exactly uh no what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are well i don't know that it's revealing about who I am, but the most interesting thing I've researched recently was Poo-Pourri. Oh, yeah.

Because I was listening to Oprah's podcast. Uh-huh. Is that a good podcast? Yeah, it's not bad. My girlfriend was playing it, so I was listening. You don't have to qualify that. Sure. And I could not help but be shocked by the fact that the one sponsor is Poo-Pourri, which is just such an odd sponsor for Oprah's podcast.

Well, sure, but she could probably get any sponsor in the world. So I was just like, what's the deal with this product? And then when I Googled it, I came to find out that they are kind of in a war with Squatty Potty. Oh, because they have competing butt spray. Yeah, exactly. So there's this whole underground shit spray comp heating up right now. I've used both. Okay, because first of all, I shamed Squatty Potty into sending me a free one because I was using an old step stool to get my squat on.

And then it came with the bottle. Now, the shit that they give you, the shit spray that they have, it works because their whole thing is like it deodorizes. Poopery is like an oil that creates like a lipid layer. A nuisance instead of just deodorizing. Like, no, we're going to odorize with some nice shit. Yeah, and like so the poo-pourri just creates like a thick layer. So once the shit goes in the water, nothing can sort of permeate the water to come out. Whereas the squatty potty one is also like we're not just trying to hide it.

We're going to deodorize it. And there's like golden shit in it. I love that I thought I was coming in with some nu-nu. And Miles is breaking it down with words like, I'm the motherfucking shit master. He's using words like permeate when he's talking about a poo spray. Yeah, exactly. So, I think, I didn't realize that there was a beef, though. Or, like, that they're, you know, it's just.

They're taking shots at each other? The ads are heating up. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, maybe that's why, because the whole thing of the squatty potty one is taking shots at pooper because we're not just trying to hide it. Right. We're doing something about it.

We should try to hide it. Yeah, either way. So I don't know if that's telling about me or not. I am a human being that poops from time to time. But yeah, that's my list. Have you squatty potty? I haven't. My man, let me tell you something.

Yeah, you're knees up, knees in the chest. Yo, cannonball all the way. Cannonball utterly. And it truly makes a difference. Oh, yeah. Because it's very true about what it's saying about your angle of expulsion, whatever the science is behind it. But I used to be a sitter, and I would be on the toilet. Man, when the iPad came out, I was taking one hour and 15 minutes shits, no lie.

I also didn't have a job. But now I'm in and out in seven minutes. My girlfriend doesn't even know who i am and this is not a commercial so your version of in and out is still seven yeah i came down from 115 to seven hour and 15 minutes yeah uh yeah because when you think about it our body was designed before people created chairs like chairs were not a thing. Like chairs were a thing that only the richest, most powerful person in your town got to do because that's where we get the word chairman from because it was like there's the guy who gets to sit in a chair. I didn't know that. Holy shit.

There we go. But yeah, chairs were a luxury. Nobody shat when they were in a chair seated position. Unless you were really involved. Right. You just like, our bodies were designed at a time when you just like squatted down like a catcher behind the plate and got down. On the chamber pot.

Right. Which they still do with Eastern style toilets. Yeah. Right. The hole in the ground. Just a hole in the ground. Noah, what is something that is underrated? Underrated breathwork classes breathwork also

gonna put this one on my girlfriend she's a little bit of one of those white girl hippie dippies sign me up for a breathwork class at a yoga studio okay which to me sounded incredibly ridiculous like not exercise no not exercise it's literally 45 minutes of focusing on your breathing in a specific way whoa and i you know, you know, at the beginning of class, I had to stop myself from laughing because I felt so stupid. And by the end, I felt very relaxed and enjoyed it very much. I've tried to do meditation. I've tried to do yoga.

I can't turn my mind off. Right. Breathwork was the first time I literally turned my mind off and for 45 minutes wasn't thinking about anything other than the breathing. And I felt great afterwards. Oh, so it's like a form of meditation, breathwork? Or is it people are like, hey, the way you breathe is all fucked up. No, no, yeah, I guess.

You need some breath work. I guess it would be closer to meditation. Right, right, right. Where the whole point is to, yeah. How do you do a breath work? So basically they say breathe in through your stomach, then take a second breath on top through your chest, and then release what's like. Ooh. Huh.

And you just do, yeah. Popping your chest out. Yeah, Ooh, huh? And you just do. Yeah. Popping your chest. Yeah. Well, you got to focus. That's the thing is like, so actually being conscious of like taking it into my stomach.

Oh, right. Then the chest and then releasing it's all through your mouth. No nose breathing. Right. So it was just like 45 minutes of concentrating on that. And it actually took me outside of myself, which was nice.

The stomach takes like much bigger breaths than the chest, but I feel like I had naturally naturally always breathe with my chest. There you go. So don't be distracted. We're going to be doing that for the rest of the show. Miles just fell over. So this is a super chill show. So yeah, I'm saying breath work is an underrated hippy-dippy science.

Yeah, there's something from the coasts that other people can use. Everybody breathes. And I'm sure there's an app for that, too. Yeah. Everybody breathes. There is an app for that. And actually, you know, I just got a Apple Watch for, I guess, Christmas. And it notices when I'm stressed out.

And it's like, hey, it's time for your daily, like, breathing exercise. Is it ever wrong? No, it's usually right on. It's like, hey, your heart is racing like you're doing a wind sprint and you're just sitting still. This is probably a good time for you to take some deep breaths. Or, yeah, you're on uppers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's usually cocaine.

Take some breaths. Greenies. Put your knees on your chest. You take greenies. I take greenies, man. Just some breaths. Greenies. Put your knees in your chest. No, you're old school. You take greenies. I take greenies, man. Just a handful of greenies. Dissolve them into the pot of coffee like the royals used to do. Yeah.

Oh, really? Was that, what, in the George Brett era? Yeah, it used to be... George Brett, when he was shitting himself? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's the best viral clip of all time. What is it?

When George Brett is telling a story during stretches of a time he had some bad crab legs and just, like, shit himself for hours. It's pretty funny. Check it out. But, yeah, they used to have the regular coffee and then the leaded coffee, and that just had amphetamines dissolved into it. Amazing. I think the last time I paid attention to that.

God, those were the days. Amphetamine coffee, Lawrence Taylor smoking crack at halftime. Athletes used to have so much fun. You could smoke a cigarette, like, on the field if you wanted to. I think Vlade Divac used to smoke cigarettes like in the locker room after the games. What is something you think is overrated, Noah? I'll tell you what's overrated. And this is going to sound probably a bit spoiled, but being a homeowner is overrated.

I own a house in Atlanta, and it is nothing but headaches in terms of repairs and things that need to be done from afar, it is so much nicer to live in an apartment where you're comfortable and someone has the job of fixing things for you. Right. You can complain to someone. Yes. I woke up this morning to a text message about a storm of tornadoes that two trees fell in my backyard and knocked down the fence. And now I need to replace the fence. I need to pay for the trees to be chopped up and removed. And none of it is covered by home insurance. Oh, really? Is there even like a package you can get for like the full Monty?

I don't think so. Because it would have been covered if like the trees hit my house, which thankfully they didn't. Right. In terms of just like moving a big ass tree that. Yeah. They're like, that's all you found. Yeah.

So that's owning a house that you don't live in, would you say? No, because I used to live there, and even then. Even then it was a pain in the ass. When you're the homeowner, you are responsible for anything that goes wrong in a home, and anyone who owns a home will tell you something will always be going wrong in that home. It's true. It is absolutely true. So, again, I'm grateful to own a house.

I realize how nice that is and the privilege that comes with it. But that said, there are a lot of headaches that people don't think about. sort of rain on them like that's just something you learn roofs are kidding roofs just like water leaks and like so we will have the occasional leak at our house and whenever we bring it up to other people who are homeowners they're like oh yeah we have leaks too like our basement is filled with water like nobody nobody's house is actually built to withstand water i don't even know i'm actually like i was curious about that when was fucking 13, my fucking roof fell in after a rainstorm because it didn't – the water wasn't draining properly and there was a pool above my living room. Yo, in the middle of the night, the shit just fell out. And then like my parents were like, fuck it. We're going to have skylights.

Rather than replace the roof, they're like, can we just put some plexiglass over this? So shout out to the homemade skylights. That's what got you into astrology. Yeah, exactly. There you go. Shout out to Los Angeles contractors. All right. And then what is a myth, Noah?

What's something most people believe to be true that you know to be false? It might be controversial. Feel free to disagree. But I believe that L.A. traffic is a myth. The idea that L.A. has the worst traffic in the country is an absolute myth. I've lived in New York and Atlanta, and I have found both of those cities have significantly worse traffic than LA. Really?

We were in Atlanta recently at rush hour when we visited HowStuffWorks HQ, and I was surprised when the guy was like, man, the traffic. And I was like, what? See, I don't know. I mean, I guess maybe it's situation how do you how do you like what what's your what's what's the the rubric or what's your what's the scale that you're using to determine how bad the traffic is so for me it's more a measure of the constant traffic as opposed like la rush hour traffic i think is unfuckwithable right like trying to go

somewhere at six o'clock on la highway of course that's a gridlock like nowhere else. But like in New York, whether it's 3 p.m. on a Tuesday, 4 a.m. on a Wednesday, it's going to take you 30 minutes to go a mile and a half. Right. And that's just regardless. That's just New York traffic. Yeah, yeah. It's just the city is too small with too many people and the infrastructure is not built for it.

So like L.A. by far has the most cars on the road because there's so many more people here. But you guys also have the most highways and more lanes to use. Right. Whereas in New York and Atlanta that are heavy population cities in a small area, the cities actually aren't built for the kind of traffic that they now encounter. So the reason that, you know, there's that sketch, the Californians, where they, like, all talk about the different roads. The far off high. But the reason people talk about that shit is because L.A. traffic is you can get around it sometimes like surface roads. There are like ways to get around the traffic and like cut your commute completely in half.

And L.A. is just like streaky also. Right. There's just like times when like Waze as an app is built for Los Angeles because sometimes you'll just be randomly in a traffic jam. And if you know a way around it, you can cut your way down. Right. New York, there's no way around it. No way. If you need to go from Brooklyn to Manhattan, there are three bridges that everyone is trying to take.

So I'm looking at now the rankings, right, of the worst traffic. And they base this off of the number of hours a person spends in traffic. So in L.A., an average in a year, the average driver is spending 102 hours in traffic. Second is New York City with 91 hours. And then fourth is Atlanta at 70. So I'm not far off with my claims. But this is what I think. Now, I think there's something to what you're saying, which is that

most LA people have to actually commute very large longer distances because it's so spread out that, of course, you would be in traffic much longer because your commute is, you know, the distance is much greater versus like, yeah, if you're just commuting around New York City or the area,

it's probably not the same sort of mileage that we're talking. Correct. Like I once had to take an Uber to the Bronx. I live in Bushwick. So we're talking seven miles geographically, 52 minutes. To go seven miles. That's New York traffic.

That's like trying to go from here to like Santa Monica. No, but like per mile, New York is way worse. That's for sure. So that's a myth that I guess I kind of busted. in a way no i think you did and also i bet that uh those statistics are based on self-reported stats right like they're not like spending four hours in traffic la people are super dramatic first of all and second of all it's going to seem way worse when you're the one driving whereas in new york you're never the one driving for the most part most people who live in new york city are not like parking their car on the street i think they say the worst though is moscow moscow

i mean i've seen all those man have you seen all those dash cam videos from russia like yeah people fucking it's crazy though too because when like the equivalent of like a major thoroughfare is like congested people just drive on the fucking sidewalk. Yeah, they don't care. Well, Mumbai was pretty crazy like that too. Yeah. But yeah, I was just keeping it American. Yeah, yeah.

Well, look, we like to keep it somewhat international sometimes. One of my favorites. What was number three? Number three is San Francisco. San Francisco. But it's huge. The gap goes LA at 102 hours, New York at 91, then San Francisco at 79. So I feel like just based on those two, there's something to be said.

But either way, the traffic is fucking bad. That's over the course of a year? Yeah. That's not that big a drop-off. That's 12 hours. That's one hour a month drop-off. Yeah. But I mean I think just generally, 41 is the average I think.

One of my favorite hustles that I ever heard of is there were people who were buying ambulances in moscow and then like selling rides to rich people in ambulances to be like yo you gotta get somewhere but you don't got helicopter money right exactly it's like just for that that's a hustle you gotta respect right yeah that's thinking that's innovation yeah that's really like well who the fuck oh shit an ambulance okay all right uh right. Let's get into the stories of the day. First off, just shout out to my fellow whites, particularly this is a direct quote from the Austin police, some white dude, just some random white dude who, 24-year-old, no real indications why he was doing this as of yet, just some random white guy who – Yeah, still murky what's going on. Apparently, like he – because remember yesterday or the day before, a bomb blew up at a FedEx facility, and that basically gave them the lead. And then they looked at the camera. This dude was wearing like a wig, like a Jeff Spicoli wig. Right.

And then they tracked him. He had his Johnny Manziel on. Yeah. They tracked him to like a hotel, and then there was like – like during that the chase ensued and he was cornered and then when he was like SWAT officers approached he detonated a bomb in his car and killed himself once they started shooting at him he was like he was like can i i haven't followed the story closely can i guess that the major media outlets and politicians are hesitating to call him a terrorist oh you yeah of No, and in fact, they have said there's no terrorist link. Like they've specifically cut this off from being defined as terrorist because he did not.

Well, because he's a quote unquote. He's not like a dark skinned white. He's just a white white. A dark skinned white. Yeah. He's a white white, a light white. So that means it's not terrorism. It's just a hobbyist, I guess.

Yeah. Well, it's crazy because like, you know. Boys being boys. Right. Right now, they don't know. Yeah, like they're having trouble finding a motive. Like apparently he had a couple of roommates, but they don't think he acted like he acted alone. That's what they believe.

And then, you know, the usual quotes are coming out where like the neighbors are like, oh, my God, he's such a nice kid from a good family. They do believe he acted alone. They do believe he did, despite having roommates. But then the other thing is, too, they don't know what he did the last 24 hours, so they don't know if there's other packages out there. So, you know, stay vigilant. But I think the flip side of this is one of the reasons why I wanted to bring this up in the beginning was that while everyone is going to go and try and make sense of what this bomber was doing

and why he did what he did, a story will probably you know not get much coverage is that on sunday over the weekend in sacramento another unarmed black man was killed by police because they thought he had a fucking a gun which was a cell phone and didn't they downgrade it from they thought it was a gun to then they thought it was a crowbar and then they admitted that it was a cell phone yeah well first they said like oh he was smashing shit out with a crowbar. So the story goes is that this 22-year-old kid, Stephon Clark, he was in his backyard in like a sheriff's helicopter said. In his own backyard. His own backyard where he lives with his grandparents and his siblings.

Right. And the sheriff's helicopter said, I think there's a guy in the backyard. We suspect he's been smashing out windows and maybe tried to get into a home. So then the guy's on foot. PD rolls up, and they see him in the backyard. So this is what goes down. So basically they said they identified this guy because he obviously the time old words. He fit the fucking description, which means just not white.

So what happened was they follow him to this backyard. So they say police officers said that as they approached Clark, they ordered him to stop and show his hands. But then instead of doing so, Clark ran to the backyard of the home away from police because they had guns on him. But who knows? Because it's not like there's a pattern of getting shot by police when you're black. Police followed in pursuit and Clark allegedly turned toward them and began

advancing toward them quote, while holding an object that was extended in front of him. And they believed the object to be a gun and saying they had feared for their lives. They shot him multiple times. I think overall they, they fired at Clark 20 times and they waited five minutes before even doing anything.

They just, they waited for other people to, to, to arrive before handcuffing him and doing life-saving procedures. But at that point, he was already dead. So there is body cam footage. It's still very murky. We'll never really know until the body cam footage is out.

But this obviously fits the same pattern of shit that you see all the time, which is police will always refer their life if it's a black person because a you know, a lot of people are conditioned in this country to believe that all black men are villains and evildoers. So, again, I just want to bring that up because I know this – unfortunately, this man's life will probably not get as much attention because everyone is going to be so fixated on the bomber. Or who knows? There are some other dumb shit that Trump does.

But, again, you know, black lives still matter. And when backstories come out, they'll probably paint the bomber in a better light than Stephon Clark. God damn, man. You're just standing in your own backyard and the police just descend on you. That's like beyond just minding your own business. That's the kind of fucking fear. I mean, it's crazy. your own business that like that's the kind of fucking fear you like i mean it's crazy i when i get pulled over i'm or if i do the other day i was walking the dog and cops i was like on highland

uh and these cops pull up fucking aggressive and hop out the car i immediately just put my hands up because i was like yo i don't know what the fuck is going on and then they're like yo relax relax i was like why they pulled them on you no so i was like they're like, yo, relax, relax. I was like, why? They pulled up on you? No. So I was like, they're like, relax, relax. I was like, yo, what do you want? And they're like, we're here to like answer this call. And they were acting like I was crazy because my immediate reaction was to be submissive and be like, yo, I'm like I dropped the dog's leash. I was like this. And it's just fucking terrible, man.

Like when fucking 22-year-old kid, he has two young children, and you're fucking shot for nothing. Again, I don't know what the fuck really happened, but I'm assuming that it fits the same pattern that we usually see where I'd imagine that they probably could have exercised a little more restraint. Let's take it worst-case scenario and assume he was actually the person breaking in with crowbars. worst case scenario and assume he was actually the person breaking in with crowbars even on the off chance which i don't think was the case that that was true it still wouldn't warrant being shot 20 times and killed if you're breaking in with a crowbar then you get handcuffed you go to jail and await trial yeah you don't you don't need to so regardless of if it was a horrible misunderstanding and he was the wrong person altogether or if he truly was the person the call was about either way what happened doesn't fit the crime no absolutely not and again we have people who you know again

so many police officers and many people in america are conditioned to assume immediately this person is a danger to me right and this is not the fucking case yeah and even if it is you know what i mean like like you're saying even even if he was the right fucking person that you, you don't have to fucking shoot a guy, shoot at a guy 20 times to make your point. And again, you see there are many times people do the same thing. And when you're not black, you tend to get out of the situation. If the weapon in question is a crowbar at no point, you even need to pull a gun on that person. No. Right.

I mean, unless he's got like some kind of superhero strength, like you could throw a fucking crowbar, like it's a fucking arrow. I don't think so. Right. Isn't that what the cop said? He thought Mike Brown was like the kind of superhero strength. Like you could throw a fucking coral bar like it's a fucking arrow. I don't think so. Right. Isn't that what the cop said? He thought Mike Brown was like the Incredible Hulk or something like that. Anyway. Yeah. So I guess keep an eye on both those stories.

Please keep an eye on both those stories because we have to stay vigilant with this kind of shit. And we can't forget that this is also a dimension of the society that we live in in this country. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We will be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life

in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

And so up first, I wanted to talk real quick about Cambridge Analytica because this story is staying on the headlines. You know, Mark Zuckerberg has yet to come out and make an official statement. Did you say he wasn't hiding or something?

Just that he was kind of conspicuously quiet. Motherfuckers lost like $12 billion in the last 24 hours. Yeah, so his board can't be too psyched. But I wanted to talk first of all about the idea that I've heard – I've heard both sides of this, that there is like a danger to them having too much access to our information because you know that information is powerful and then i've heard people be like nah this is just like some bullshit that they claim to be able to you know predict and influence human behavior uh with this sort of data and you know i find it really convincing there's uh the whole story was that the guy who ended up being the whistleblower and spoke to the New York Times was a student at Cambridge where this guy was doing a graduate study. And

I remember this study coming out and like writing about it when it did. But basically, he found that with 70 likes from a person's Facebook profile, he was able to predict something about that person better than any of their friends. With 150 likes, he was able to predict something about that person better than their parents. And with 300 likes, they were able to do it better than their romantic or life partner could. Meaning 300 things that that person has liked. That that person had liked or like, yeah. Basically like it could be posts. It could be pages.

That's it. Not like here are my 300 favorite things. It's just they're scraping like 300 pieces of data points off of their Facebook profile. And what do you mean? Why would they say they could predict? Like what do they mean by that exactly? I don't know. Like behavioral things that probably could be – that's where –

Yeah, I think it's like behavioral stuff. Who they'd vote for in an election. Yeah. What kind of messaging would work? That's not exactly – because this person put this information out there, Facebook was immediately like, oh, shit, we shouldn't make people's likes public at that point. And Cambridge Analytica did a shady thing where they claimed to be giving people a psychological questionnaire. And then when they signed up for that questionnaire, it gained access to all of their Facebook data that way and also a lot of their friends' Facebook data. So they kind of went in a roundabout way of getting into people's Facebook information.

But it's no doubt fucking shady, whether it works or not. I think it's shady. One thing that I'm surprised to find out is that this really isn't a partisan thing. I don't think we can be like, well, the Trump campaign, this proves that they were shady because like this is the sort of thing that both sides have wanted to do and have successfully done in the past. And there's this National Review article, which I find a lot of their writing, you know, to be not that convincing. But I thought there's their article about this was pretty convincing. this was pretty convincing. They talked about, they compared the coverage of Cambridge Analytica and, you know, this media breach with the coverage of the Obama campaign and what they did with Facebook in 2012. And a lot of this stuff is very similar. Like they, there was a article in,

I think it was like MIT Tech Review, where they talked about how Obama's campaign began the election year confident it knew the name of every one of the 69 million Americans whose votes put him in the White House. Pundits talk in abstract about reassembling Obama's 2008 coalition, but within the campaign, that goal was literal. And then they used people's friends to like influence them, their friends on Facebook. And basically Facebook was like, look, this is kind of abusive what you're doing, but we're going to let it slide as long as you stop doing it on November 7th. So after election day. And they basically just let it happen. And they they're bragging like their articles where they're bragging about this stuff and basically saying we were able to use people, people's Facebook information to change their behavior. 2012 campaign generated a new political currency that predicted the behavior of individual humans. The campaign didn't just know who you were. It knew exactly how it could turn you into the type of person it wanted you to be, which is like exactly what we're worried about. And that was in 2012 in an article that was like glowing and being like, yeah, we did it.

that was like glowing and being like, yeah, we did it. So I can totally see how, you know, the right might feel like, well, now because we do it, it's a problem. And I think it's, I get that there's a double standard. I'm okay with there being a double standard as long as it causes us to stop this shit from happening. I don't think either side should be doing this. No, I don't think – I think what's scarier is the idea that we – that this is a way that you can operate a campaign or an influence campaign in general. Like without just sort of giving people facts and letting them decide based on the facts, let them come to a conclusion.

Right. I just think it's all crazy but not surprising that this entire thing came from people's endless need for self-validation. Yeah. Right. Like, at the end of the day, it all just came from people wanting to be on social media so people could like their shit. Yeah. No, I think that's one of the reasons, too, when you mentioned that, like, why I stopped using Facebook. Because before, I would get a high off of, like, a lit status.

Yeah. Or, like, flexing on Facebook. Yeah, refreshing your phone every 10 seconds. Yeah, I'd be like, ooh, the little globe lit up with a red number. I got a notification. And then like I was just really kind of – I was like, yo, I'm fucking over this shit. Like it was cool for like a year, like from college to maybe a few years out. And then I just didn't have the – like the energy to like perform on Facebook for people is what it felt like.

Like it was a performative and yeah. Like in that sort of feedback loop of getting likes, I think I sort of changed a bit, but yeah, I know like a lot of people who really do like, I don't know people who like will come at me like, yo, why don't you like the thing that I posted?

I'm like, that's crazy. That's, that's not the normal, but I've heard I've, that's people letting you know that you can cut them out of your life. Well, that's people who I'm like, this is why I don't fuck with you because you're pressing me about not liking a fucking YouTube video you put up. Okay.

I think that's a sign that you need to be like, all right, man, get in here for a hug. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need some actual human contact. I need some contact hours, my man. And then you need to delete Facebook. So delete Facebook is something that's trending right now. I would just say that that's an easy first step. But this original study did not focus on Facebook likes only. And the guy who designed the study in Cambridge, who, by the way, Facebook called him the day after the study was released and threatened to sue him and also offered him a job because they're like, holy shit. Fuck you, but I love you. Yeah.

But we won't sue you if you take this job. But he was basically saying it's our smartphones. Like our smartphones are, in his words, a vast psychological questionnaire that we are constantly filling out both consciously and unconsciously. So I'm going back to the two-way paper. Flip phone, baby. You need to figure out if you're – like because they know how fast you're moving. They know so much shit about you. There's like a fucking –

I will say to the delete Facebook people, don't overlook the fact that Facebook owns Instagram. So if you're going to be about that life, be about that life. If you're deleting Facebook, delete that gram too. Right, right. Go for it. Go whole hog. Right. That's why people just need to cop the Matrix phone that Nokia is coming out with.

Right. Go back to basics and then keep – just do your techs. But at the same time, I feel like I will kind of lose my mind if I didn't have a smartphone. I feel like I will kind of lose my mind if I didn't have a smartphone. Well, there does seem to be room in the sort of zeitgeist for a company that is just like straight up really good at tech shit but is like we're going back to basics. This is untraceable. This is unfuckwithable. No internet on your phone.

Yeah, essentially. Or like very, very basic. You got 2G data, my man. Right. You can text. You can be communicated with. Cut to the year 2029 when libraries and encyclopedias are that new hot shit again. Right. Yeah, exactly.

Going analog, baby. They're like, yo, is that like a 1990s kid's encyclopedia? Yeah, yeah. It's a book. I have an original paper encyclopedia. Yeah, we should buy Encyclopedia Britannica. I bet that's like costs maybe a couple thousand dollars

right now. Like this set? No, no. Just the brand. You were about to say Encyclopedia Brown, weren't you? I was. We should buy him too. Apparently, as Super Producer Nick just hollered in our ears, there is a phone that does the back to basics kind of thing called the Light Phone.

It's a simple 4G phone with e-ink messaging and other essential tools. A phone that does the back to basics kind of thing called the light phone uh and it's a simple 4g phone with e-ink messaging and other essential tools a phone that actually respects you is my phone disrespecting is it my phone violating it might be light phone l-i-g-h-t and uh you can look it up they're doing a funding campaign right now which they've clearly funded well over what they needed right by 400 right but uh if you're interested, I think they are shipping them by April. It says – what is this? It says, by allowing you to leave behind your smartphone, it encourages you to spend quality time doing the things you love the most free of distractions. The Light Phone 2 brings essential tools like messaging and alarm clocks, so it's even easier to use your smartphone more often for good.

OK. All right. What else is in the news, Miles? What else? Oh, yeah, Donald. Yeah, yeah, because Donald Trump is the new Post Malone because he's telling everybody congratulations. So basically, Putin, quote unquote, won a quote unquote election in quote unquote Russia

when really- Well, I think Russia is real. I don't know. That one doesn't even- think russia is real i don't know that one doesn't need to be that's maybe that's you i don't believe anything everything is a simulation at this point but uh yes so he won a not even a contested election motherfucker basically was like yo anybody's even coming close to fucking with me getting a unanimous victory get them the fuck out of here or bar them or you know expel them from the country or threaten their life uh so putin won with i think over 76 percent of the vote or something like that yeah something

like that yeah and there was the hilarious thing is there were so many people complaining about like ballot rigging and shit people were stuffing ballot boxes and like it was just blatant fuckery uh with this election because and putin won by landslide whatever there's a crazy video it's russia yeah you can see like there's this video of a woman close circuit video yeah she's just stuffing the fucking ballot box with just crazy votes just like fuck it yo we're gonna stack the deck anyway so because of that a lot of trump's advisors we like to call them rational adults well some are rational but they told him yo my man when you call him do not congratulate him in all caps like instructions like how how to talk to this man.

And what does this motherfucker do? Congratulates him on his great, wonderful victory. Because obviously we don't want to congratulate him because we're not trying to let him think that we believe that he's legitimate so just his press briefing like from his staff said like on a list of things that happened was like putin won parentheses all caps do not congratulate right and he called him to congratulate him right just like nah fuck it what don't you want me to do watch me do this shit hold that lhr mcmaster because they're sailing with a two-year-old right but then don't say the thing you don't want them to do because then they will do that thing like the crazy thing was like yeah well why don't you do it and someone's trying to say well hr mcmaster didn't

explicitly mention it out loud while making eye contact with trump kind of thing like are you serious so you got to get in this dude's face now every time to do the most basic shit yeah and didn't specifically bring it up on the phone. Yeah, it's insane. And not even – then they're like – also they're like, yo, let's take a tough stance about the attempt on that double agent's life on the UK and how we stand with the UK on this. No, didn't mention that at all. Didn't mention a damn thing. Because he's just a – I don't know why he turns into such a scared person whenever he's on the phone with Putin unless – right?

I mean we have to say this constantly. What power does he have over him? Because clearly he doesn't give a fuck about the scandals he has over here. Right. Like, I mean, what, he has three active, like, sexual harassment-type lawsuits right now in America? Yeah, at least. Yeah, when he gets on the phone with putin he's like oh i love you so much thank you so much right although so you could say that this indicates putin has

something over him it's also in keeping with trump's just general love and respect for dictators like duterte and you know yeah he also did the same thing with erdogan and in turkey was like hey congrats on your win. And that was another one that was like, I think there's an element outside of the politics. It's just on some man shit that Trump realizes Putin could fuck him up. Yeah. They just were in the same room for no reason. He shook.

Putin would beat the shit out of him. Right. I would pay to see Putin smack him around a little bit. Like, what's up, Donald? What I tell you about them sanctions be. Have you seen that video of Putin stretching his hips out where he's just like doing the before judo or something yeah before judo no it's funny i know he loves the judo uh the puerto rican judo oh you don't know what that is that's when i say you don't know who got this game uh shout out to

cameron but again very disconcerting when you think about too we haven't done shit about the meddling that's even happening in our country now with despite the most blunt calls for action from the intelligence community and still again uh you know well that that's the thing it's like it's it's annoying and it shouldn't have been done but at the same time you have to pick your battles and it's like of all the things that we have to deal with with respect to Trump and what's going on, even with Russia, congratulating Putin is very low on my list of priorities of what needs to be addressed. Like, fine. Who gives a fuck? He shouldn't have done it.

He did it. Nothing actually matters from that. Right. I think the only reason that it's concerning is because it just emboldens Putin. Yeah. I mean, in a way, it legitimizes this, quote unquote, election. But at the same time, whether or not it was a legitimate election, the reality of the fact is he is in charge of Russia. So, you know, whether or not you like how he came to seize that power, he has that power, and that's not changing regardless antithetical response to when Obama was president. Like, you know, Hillary Clinton made a point last election to be like, this is a fucking sham.

You know what I mean? That's clearly like one of the reasons why in the deck of things Putin hated about Hillary Clinton, that was high up there. So it must be really nice for Putin to have a nice phone call from somebody he knows he got that Debo mind control over and cia chief brennan former cia director john brennan is just coming out and just saying like all the shit that you know we say around the water cooler which we don't have a water cooler but the proverbial water cooler yeah yeah one day one day hey we're doing all right we might have a water cooler poopery is about to send one after I hear this. But he was like, you know, who knows? Maybe the Russians have something personal on Trump.

So this is the former chief of the CIA. conspiracy theory where the head of the cia and hillary clinton and obama were all like in on this long long-term plan to frame trump for colluding with russia so yeah long term like they were planning that he was gonna win right exactly while there were 16 people in the primary 15 of which were shitting on trump at the time right Right. They were the most surprised of any. You ever met somebody who cannot admit they're wrong? Yeah. And they do anything. Yeah.

To fucking convince themselves. Otherwise, it's just crazy to see that play out at this level. And with a hive mind. Right. You know? Yeah. I'm a Jewish comedian. I know a few people who don't want to admit that they're wrong. All right.

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

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

And we're back and um so a couple quick stories we wanted to hit on that are pretty fun uh don ju uh don jr had an affair with aubrey from danity kane which uh i had to be reminded Danity Kane is that women's group that P. Diddy created.

Iconic, man. Iconic. Dawn. Who was the little one? Fuck. Dawn, the little one, Aubrey. He did a whole gang. Dawn, Shannon.

Oh, Dee Woods. Dee Woods. Shout out to Dee Woods. Andrea. Andrea, who's I'm talking about? The little one. D. Woods. Shout out to D. Woods.

Andrea. Who's I'm talking about? The Latino one. The little one. She was on Celebrity Apprentice, and she and Diaper Don hit it off, and they had an affair. And his wife found out about it at the time. He was forced to break it off. That was around 2012. As bad as it was for him personally, it was worth it because we got some great art from it.

Because when Aubrey dropped her solo album, there was a track on it that might have been about their relationship. Maybe. It was about her in a relationship with a married man who would not leave his wife and family. And it was called, what was it called? I don't know what it is. It's just initials. DJ T. Oh.

What are Donald? No, it's D it is. It's just initials. DJT. Oh. What are Donald? No, it's DTJ. No, no, no. Well, his legal name is Donald John Trump Jr. Oh, right. So without the junior, he is DJT. Okay. And it makes no sense because it's not like there's a hook that's like, don't just talk

or something like that that you could call DJT. It's just called DJT. Just listen to this. So, I mean, when you think of. Here are the facts of their thing. They met on The Apprentice in 2011. They started having an affair. Apparently, Don Jr. told Aubrey constantly, it's over with my wife, who was

pregnant at the time, and I'm not going back to her. Then his wife found emails, and he goes, look, I can't walk out on my family like that. His wife made it real. Yeah, cut to a year later. This is the song. So we're going to play... This is just the beginning of the song that apparently has cut to made it real yeah cut to a year later this is the song so we're gonna play this is just the beginning of the song that apparently has nothing to do with donald trump so keep those facts in mind as you listen to this you can say it was all a fucking fairy

tale or you can say it was real but i need to know and you know whatever the truth is defines the reality of you and i forever and i need to be able to define that before i can walk away terrible drink i thought it was forever at the time but maybe she gave dj much sexier voice. I thought it was forever at the time. Do you want to believe that everything with me was a lie? A fantasy? And you want to go back and live in the life that you had? Have? Forever?

I don't know. I couldn't do what I said I would do. So that answered the question for me. I'll always want you, and I'll always wonder about it, but it doesn't matter, because I have to stay here. What made you stop believing in our world?

You know, I think probably the loss of the other world. I'm torn between two worlds, both of which I wanted. Wow. My two worlds. Do I leave my wife for my Kumar? Right.

Like, what do I do? Yeah. So I just like how messy Aubrey O'Day is. And she's fucking calling out names. But, you know, she moved on. She was with Pauly D from the Jersey Shore for a little bit. Really? Yeah. I think they only just broke up. So much hair care product in one relationship. But, you know, she moved on. She was with Pauly D from the Jersey Shore for a little bit. Really? Yeah.

I think they only just broke up. So much hair care product in one relationship. Yeah, seriously. Wait, has she come out in the last week or so, acknowledging whether or not this was, in fact, about? She has not. But one can speculate with a song like DJT, given what we do know or what is reported. And this all just resurfaced because of the divorce. Yeah, and then people started being like, wait, hold up, hold up.

Let's start connecting some dots. Yeah, and I mean, yeah. But it's weird that like I wonder if what sparked – because now, yeah, his wife is filing for divorce. Is it because he's cheating again or is it that like conspiracy against the United States isn't a flattering charge to have? Right. Yeah. We, we don't know about that. Or maybe the, you know, term on the don't divorce me thing was up. We don't know.

Wait, what do you mean? Don't like a prenup. Oh, you don't marry into the Trump organization. Oh, right. They'd be like, if you get to, right, right, right, right. Get to this point and then you can divorce me. Yeah. But not before.

That tends to be how a lot of those things go. See, that's why I'm going to be – I'll stay broke and not married. Wait. So was Don Jr. in The Apprentice? Like how does he – He was an advisor. So he was like one of the people in the boardroom. He was in the boardroom.

Got it. But his tech is – I guess, yeah, his role like is on the credit is like an advisor. But yeah. He was getting OTPHJs under the table while Aubrey was about to get kicked out. I don't know

what that means. Over the pants handjob. Come on, man. Yeah. Come on, dad. Were you never in middle school? It's been a while, man.

It's been a while. All right, and then, Miles, you watch some random shit on Netflix. I love it. I love hearing about it.

Whenever Netflix, you know, it knows me. These algorithms, they fuck with me because I love Australian reality shows because I love the accents. And a new one popped up yesterday that is called Go Back to Where You Came From. And it is about basically like six xenophobic immigrant hating australians or like five and like one hippie woman who loves like who feels like australia can accept more immigrants they they basically challenge them to the craziest exposure therapy a xenophobe could have which is to live as a refugee would uh that they have such ill feelings towards because there are a lot of them they're like yeah when the bart people comeART people come over, it's like, you know, whatever.

Like, they just hate the BOP. They call them BOP people. So are they talking about, like, Southeast Asians or, like, the aboriginal community? No, people from Iraq. People coming from Iraq. People coming from Africa. People coming from everywhere. Well, you know, a lot of people everywhere.

To be fair, one of the women said she just hates people with black skin. That she did say. She's like, I guess I'm a bit of a racist. I don't like Africans. And I'm like, whoa. Okay, you just say shit like that out loud. But we know how racism works in Australia. To be fair, compared to the rest of the country, just saying you don't like Africans actually in Australia is only a bit racist.

Yeah, right. Very racist country. So in this show, they basically sit these people down and they sort of do the refugee journey in reverse. So they first meet with refugees that have made it to Australia and like they speak with them. Like, you know, the woman who said, I don't like African people. She met an actual African refugee and heard her legitimate, heartbreaking story and was crushed. Like, what's crazy is when you watch the show, when they really confront these people with the reality of what these people face, their fucking – their shit goes away very quickly. And that's why I kind of kept watching. I was like, whoa, shit.

Like we need this shit. It actually works. Now I'm about to watch this. Yeah, we need this shit in this country for people who think – like because in a way, this one African woman, she said like when she was in Africa, she had to flee her country because of war. And then when she was a refugee, the UN like would come drop off food. But the country they were in, the locals were also starving. So they would rob them for their UN aid food. And then they would in turn starve.

And this woman lost her child. To starvation. To starvation. Watch her baby. Like a baby die of starvation. And this one woman who was like – in her interview before, she was like, I could shoot them all. She's like, look at them over there. They need to go back where i could shoot them right now they make me so mad this woman was sobbing after she heard the story it was and she just goes i didn't know it was so

bad sorry well what is the fuck but what's crazy is so many of these people who have the the opinion that you know like immigrants or refugees are like what they just don't like their wi-fi connectivity and their fucking mcdonald's is whack so they're just going to come to america like it's weird what they think the reality i don't think it's surprising to find out that racists are ill-informed of course not of course not but it's amazing to see though how quickly some people can literally turn on a dime be like this is so horrible i mean i've only seen the credit to them at least they're willing to turn on a dime and admit they were wrong i've only seen the first episode so i don't know how it plays i don't know if by the end like some

people you could tell we're starting to push back like they're like oh you're manipulating me and just showing me like the worst shit because they were starting to feel empathy and they were like they didn't like that and like they realized that their viewpoints were changing so i don't know by the end the show could be total garbage but what i do know is like I love seeing ignorant people get blasted with the truth canon and having to be like, hey, OK. Just off this two minute summary, I'm hooked. Yeah, I'll go check it out. But then like it started getting real to like by the second episode, like then when you're meeting people who have been tortured and shit like that, it's even hard. Like I have I empathize.

But at a certain point, I was just like, oh, man, it's fucking the shit is really heavy. But at a certain point, I was just like, oh, man, it's fucking – this shit is really heavy. But yeah, like it's – a lot of these people, man, like they really had their viewpoints challenged. And I'll watch – there's like three seasons. So I'm sure there have been three different groups. It must have been a somewhat successful show. The second one was celebrity. Celebrity, go back to where you came from.

So like some celebrities were like, yeah, I'm racist. Wait, really? You didn't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I didn't even look that far. Yeah, was just it was just keith urban admitting that he hates refugees like rodney rude but yeah uh australia is just the hemsworth family i've talked about this before but uh australia has a i've always been surprised by how racist australia is like uh back in the day I worked with somebody who was like a hipster Australian. We hired her. She had just come to the country.

She was like, you know, in all ways a hipster, except she was openly racist. We found out like two months into the job. We were just like, whoa, what? What do you mean? Like a piece she wrote or like on a collar? No, she was just just mentioned around the office that like she didn't like i think she was saying aboriginal people but uh yeah it was pretty crazy yeah because it's man like i the first like australian person i really met who was mad friendly like they

were the person who put me on how racist was i'm like man y'all are so dope they're like it's a bit racist down there and like she was like but the way she did it was she said jap so casually in front of me i was like what and she was like oh i'm sorry but yeah like when the japs like bombed darwin bay and i was like okay i don't know what that is but then i looked into and i was like okay so you know they're clearly got some uh heat for asian people too uh but oh anyone could get it in australia they got heat for anyone that's not white oh but shout out to the zeit gang in australia because i know y'all are out there and i know y'all aren't these fuck boy racists but yeah oh yeah listen this show it's a country full of plenty of wonderful

people yeah yeah for sure well no i know whenever we whenever we go start talking about country people sure people get in the dimensions and they're like yo let me tell you about what canada is like or what australia is like. I believe. Like I always associated Australia, like being, when I was growing up, I thought it was like Canada with a cool accent or something, you know? And,

uh, it's, it turns out it's less progressive than that would suggest. But at least in a lot of cases, they fixed their gun problem. Right. But yeah, uh,

seriously, this show again, I like, it's crazy to just see, because I feel like this is the kind of show that Americans could benefit from. Yeah, dude. Why hasn't anybody brought that over? I don't know.

I wonder if it's too controversial. I feel like people – They fucking love controversy. I'll tell you why it would backfire because America is such a whore for reality fame that what would happen is there would be some super proud racist redneck who would admit his fault and then become the most famous person in America for like a month and a half. And then you would dig through all the old tweets to see all the racist shit he used to say. And there would be like a resurgence of his old racist past that came into pop culture. And even if he had flipped, it would still like reignite the views that he used to have yeah yeah hey but i look i feel like snake eating its own tail either way i

feel like even just try and like trick a racist parent to watch it because even if second hand like because i'm sure they'll be like yeah these people are right and then they'll be like oh right like you know they're like you know they're talking about three white guys they go into like a refugee uh like detention center and they meet these people from iraq and you know the a lot of these people are on their third time applying for like a refugee visa in australia like they can't bring the cameras into the facility so you see them walk in and they come out and these dudes look shell-shocked yeah and one guy's like like i just met a bloke who uh like if he doesn't get his visa he's gonna commit suicide and like and he was like fucking processing like action no like it was crazy and i was like man because before this

dude was talking real spicy yeah and his thing and like one guy couldn't even talk after coming out and he was just like i'm sorry like i just need a second to process this i don't know it's interesting to see uh but you is power, y'all. Yeah. And I mean for all the downsides to an American version, there would be no shortage for casting it. Oh, no. No, no, no. All you would have to do is just scrape some of that Facebook data.

I would love to see it in America if they could keep it in its purest form, but I'm just such a skeptic to American reality TV that I know that some way it would come back in some kind of negative backlash. Or I feel like what you could do it with is with people who don't realize they're racist, too. You know what I mean? Like, it's not people who have to be so aggressive, like, I hate all these other people, but people who don't, you know,

a lot of people don't realize they hold, like, some racist viewpoints on shit. Just to guess who's coming to dinner kind of racist. Or just, like, taking hipster racists and being like, yo, let me show you something really quick, mister you think you're so woke. Right. Anyway. Alright, well, that is going to do it
