Starting point is 00:00:00 I actually went camping with my kids school this weekend. With your kids, hopefully. Nah, just fuck them. Nah, they're kind of annoying. So I just go out and, you know, kick it. Yeah, but I don't know. I feel like I got insight into this thing that keeps coming up in the news, the achievement gap that's happening between girls and boys.
Starting point is 00:00:29 It starts early, apparently. There's just this big New York Times podcast about it where they're like, boys are developing later and they need to start later. I was actually around kids at the age where this divide is opening up. And I heard what they were talking about because like the idea is that like boys are like going to college at a lower rate. Like the divide is actually bigger now between girls and boys than it was when Title IX like first started. And so it's just like the boys, the boys have fallen off. The boys are back in town
Starting point is 00:01:11 cause they're not going to school. The buh buh buh boy. Yeah, nobody talks about that. That's the reason the boys are back in town is they're not going to school. But I did actually get some insight from these little girls at my kid's school because they were saying that one of the big differences that girls go to college to get more knowledge and boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider.
Starting point is 00:01:38 That is a hundred percent. I think I read that on... That is fucking huge, if true. PubMed, yeah. Which I think I read that on that is fucking huge if true. Yeah Hey, Bo. Hey, Matt. Are you ready to tell the readers about the extra special episode we have coming up?

Starting point is 00:02:06 But you're in it, you know? Yeah, exactly. You're in the spook. I think we have to let them in on our little surprise. Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out, can't believe this, Mariah Carey will be joining us this week. I say, oh, I wanna go work with such and such
Starting point is 00:02:21 from across town. Yeah, across town. My girl across town. Yeah, across town. I know a guy across town. Yeah My girl across town. Yeah I know a guy across town. I know a guy readers publicist Katie's and finalists tune in to maybe the most Unforgettable episode of lost culture is this yet. That's one more question, which I promised myself I would ask can you drop that grunge album? I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet, but you don't have to be mad because you're in control
Starting point is 00:02:44 I am but who do I drop it with? So should we start a label? Maybe. Wow. Listen to Las Culturistas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
Starting point is 00:03:11 He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
Starting point is 00:03:31 His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the iHeart radio app,

This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image and huge life transformations. I was a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional
Starting point is 00:04:33 dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:07:00 Hello, the internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of Dating the Psych-East. A long week trend. My name is Jack O'Brien. I am thrilled to be joined by a very special guest co-host, a hilarious stand-up comedian, writer, actor, improviser. You can catch her on stand-up stages everywhere. Check her website. It is probably good. Now, I'd like to thank the Academy for letting me be on here and just everyone I stepped on on my way to the top. Thank you so much. That's right.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And that is the names that they name when they're going up there. When they are there, saying all the people who they've fucked over. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My team of people who I've treated like absolute shit. I'll be how are you doing? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. I'm still a little like tired, fucked up from like going camping this weekend and just, you know, not sleeping.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Well, sleeping weird angles on my back. In honor of Columbus, were you camping in other people's yards? Yes. And claiming that I had discovered them. Wow. Incredible tradition. A tradition unlike any other. All right. Well, this is the episode where we tell people what happened over the weekend, over the long weekend of this case. But first, we let them get to know us a little bit better. That's a gift that we're providing for them. They're allowed to get to know us a little bit
Starting point is 00:08:38 better. You're welcome. You're welcome. Welcome to the haunted house that is my mind. That's right. There's spider webs and bats flying through there. So first we like to tell you some things we think are overrated, underrated. Pallavi, do you want to kick us off with an underrated? Yes. Underrated is living in multi-generational households. Boy, do I hate paying rent.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah. But also I'm going to India again this year and I'm very excited because I really love like staying with family and then you have like friends for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Someone's always providing food. There's always like in-house childcare or someone to hang out with.
Starting point is 00:09:26 And I think, I just think it's awesome. And I feel like in the US, we don't do that enough. You know, like we just find weird roommates on Craigslist to replace our parents, you know, and then we're splitting rent with people whose habits we don't understand. And I don't know, I feel like it's too individualistic, you know? I miss that community. Part of a community that a tradition unlike any
Starting point is 00:09:53 others is the thing I'm going to keep saying, the NBC motto for the masters. But yeah, it goes way back. And it's kind of wonderful. We are now a multigenerational household as well. We've got my my wife's parents living with us and they are so wonderful. I get to eat so much delicious Korean food and the child care. Ma can't be amazing. It's a mazing.
Starting point is 00:10:24 It really is all the time in between work you get to spend with your family. It's great. I know it's great. All right. My underrated. I got to one is the size of Africa. I I was, you know, in between being in the out out of doors. I was scrolling Twitter and came across a couple of maps that emphasized how wild the Mercador projection is.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Do you know what that is? The map that was in most elementary schools. I actually spend shockingly little time in elementary schools these days, but compared to where it started, man, you would have thought I would be in elementary schools all the time, the way I spent time in elementary schools when I was a kid. But yeah, the map that basically makes it look like the contiguous United States is the center of the universe and as big as Africa. I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:11:30 It's pretty anti-American of you to say that it's not the biggest part of the globe. I know. And I think you're trying to use lasers to reduce the size. I am trying to use lasers to control the weather always, but that's just a personal hobby of mine. So Russia was always my go-to for biggest thing, nothing bigger than Russia. It goes from Europe to Asia. Africa is 11.7 million square miles. Russia is like 6.6. Africa is so much bigger than Russia. And granted, Africa is a continent
Starting point is 00:12:06 and Russia is a nation, but it's still just like on these maps that emphasize the Northern hemisphere so much. It really is. I don't know. It's who knew that? Like I think I had a sense. That's why it's called the global South Jack. It takes up most of the globe. Right. Yeah. They're just like, yeah, and then there's some places down there that you don't have to really worry about.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I'll link off to a couple of the images that kind of blew my mind. And then there's a better map that is more accurate in terms of landmass, like relative size of the land masses. But it looks to my broken brain, it looks like wildly warped. It's like, why are you warping it like that? And it's just like, no, I'm just so used to the version that makes Africa look like it's the same size as Greenland. And meanwhile, it is actually 14 times the size of Greenland and they look basically the same size on the map.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I think it's such a imperialistic human thing that we were like, OK, we finally have the technology and the knowledge to map out the world accurately. So we're going to put out propaganda. Right. Yeah, exactly. We know what it is. We're just not going to use it. Yeah. Like the way that we got to that map is through like navigation and like it's helpful for knowing like which direction various things are like navigating the oceans, but it's not helpful in terms of like knowing how big everything is and how tiny everything is. It's not the first time men have mixed up what's big and tiny.
Starting point is 00:13:54 It is not the first time and you are correct about that. And I made that joke when I went into my kids elementary school room and I had to change the map out. And yeah, now this is why I spent surprisingly little time there. It wasn't a camping trip. You were kicked out, Jack. I was just outside the school. The other one, there's another amazing sports highlight being set to the Kanye West's Life
Starting point is 00:14:23 of Pablo song, Father Stretch My Hands, part one. And it's just, it's such a great moment, the WNBA, like four point play highlight. And like the beginning of that song is just so beautiful and perfect for like an amazing highlight like this. And it's just so frustrating that I have to end up with his terrible verse about bleached assholes in my head every time I see that. Like that is truly one of the worst verses like by him, by anyone. It's just so dumb and I just feel like you don't understand the artistic value of a bleached asshole, Jack.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And maybe it's because you're white. Maybe. I think that's probably it. You don't understand the asshole colorism, but I think you should maybe step back and look at it through a different lens. Look at my privilege. Yeah. I mean, that is like, I've seen people, I actually Googled this.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I was like, does everybody else think this part is stupid? And some people argued, they're like, actually it's a juxtaposition of the holy spiritual music that starts it out, which is a sample from a gospel. And then him rapping about debauchery is like kind of the theme of the album. And like that's like you can see it on the cover, but you don't like there's plenty of ways to rap about debauchery where you don't sound like the guy from 40 year old Virgin, like trying so hard. Oh, yeah. Like cool. And yeah. Is this the same? When did the the one where he talks about poop come out?
Starting point is 00:16:05 Was that like that was after? Yeah, that was the next album. Yeah. So it was an escalation. You got to start talking about like please dip your toe in. Talk about bleach. That's right. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Poop D scoop D, whatever. Right. Poop D scoop D. God, I forgot about that. That album like doesn't exist in my mind. The next one, I think life of Pablo is the last Kanye album that really kind of stuck for me. Sometimes you have to truncate these people's, like different people's artistic entertainment careers or like cut parts out where you're like,
Starting point is 00:16:41 that wasn't really who they are in my mind. The abridged version. Yeah. I don't need the box set. What is something you think is overrated? Okay, multi-generational household. No. Listen, listen.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Impossible. It was just your underrated quality. Listen, there's good things and bad things. And one of the bad things is they definitely know way too much about your bowel movements. And I'm like, stay out of my bleached asshole, okay? You don't need to know why I took longer in the shower. You don't need to knock on my door while I'm masturbating.
Starting point is 00:17:13 There has to be a balance between the community and the love and the all up in your business entitlement. There's gotta be. There's gotta be. I don't know. There is far less privacy than there's gotta be. I don't know. It was- There is far less privacy than there used to be in our household. Yeah, it's probably your in-laws are doing wonderful things bringing you food, but maybe at the wrong times. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:36 So I don't know. I feel like there is beauty to the privacy and independence of living by yourself. Because when I go back to India, I love the family stuff. Sorry, my dogs are playing and growling right now. Okay. Very sweet. It's very cute.
Starting point is 00:17:55 See, no privacy. They're doing it right on top of me. But then they always are like, where are you going? What are you doing? When are you gonna get back? You didn't text me. And you have to text like nine or 10 people to not get in trouble. And I'm like, why am I grounded?
Starting point is 00:18:09 I'm in my 30s. You know? Right. What's the car search? Yeah. When are you back? Yeah. Especially with kids, you have to be communicating.
Starting point is 00:18:18 A, B, C. Always be communicating. Yeah. And the kids are considered anyone who's not the oldest. So you're a kid. Right. Yeah. And your schedule. The kids are considered anyone who's not the oldest. So you're a kid. Right. Exactly. They're like, why are you up so late? And you're like, I was reading. Leave me alone. Interesting reading. What were you reading? Let's get a get a little quiz on that. Yeah, I'd say overall worth it. But I do feel your pain on that on that front. My overrated is trail mix, specifically like getting more than 40 percent of your calories from trail mix. I see. So it's not trail mix, then it's people who only eat.
Starting point is 00:19:00 I so I, as I mentioned up top, I went on a camping trip with my kids school. I decided to make some trail mix and decided to just dump entire like containers of nuts and raisins and tart dried cherries. The secret ingredient. Yeah, those are good. Crystalized ginger was a nice addition. That's good, because kids are always like, I grew up and it's like, OK,
Starting point is 00:19:27 we'll have some ginger. Rest your stomach. You know, good. Rest your stomach a little bit. Some M&M peanuts because you got to. And it was like really good. And also the size of a small child. When I was like through with mixing it, it was so big. So I was like carrying it was I felt like I was like through with mixing it. It was so big. So I was like carrying.
Starting point is 00:19:45 It was I felt like I was. Did you ever do the home economics like flower baby thing? And no, I didn't because I grew up in Utah. And if they did that, they would have given us 14 each. And I refuse. I was. Yeah, I was basically doing that home project, but like eating my way through it over the course of the weekend and sharing it.
Starting point is 00:20:08 People would just like dip a little cup in. It was so cute. It was very popular. Like I got a lot of compliments. I got a lot of validation. I ate way too much of it and the effect that it had on my digestive system was, was not great. Like my God, at the beginning of the weekend, there was a question
Starting point is 00:20:28 of whether I'd ever go to the bathroom again. And then at the end of the weekend, there was a question of whether I'd ever stopped going to the bathroom. Oh, my God. It was not ideal when you're like not at home. So just, you know, a nice trail mix, great idea. You don't have to dump the entire bag of peanuts, cashews and pistachios in there.
Starting point is 00:20:53 And, you know, don't try and eat your way through a entire human child worth of trail mix. I'm just like imagining you, like your kid rolling their ankle or something and being like, daddy, pick me up. And you're like, I have the trail mix bag. I'm just like imagining you like your kid rolling their ankle or something and being like, daddy, pick me up. And you're like, I have the trail mix bag. I cannot put it down.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I told you I've got this trail mix bag. Oh, yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we're going to come back and get into the news. We'll be right back. Hey, Bo. Hey, Matt. Are you ready to tell the readers about the extra special episode we have coming up?
Starting point is 00:21:30 It's raining. Yes. It's pouring. I see. So, but you can do that kind of spooky scary. Well, yeah, but it's also because it's a ride. Yeah, I know. I'm dropping down on it.
Starting point is 00:21:41 But you're in it, you know? Yeah, exactly. You're in the spook. I think we have to let them in on our little surprise. Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out, can't believe this, Mariah Carey will be joining us this week. I say, oh, I want to go work with such and such from across town.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah, from across town. My girl across town. Yeah, across town. I know a guy across town. I know a guy. Readers, publishers, Katie's, and finalists, tune in to maybe the most unforgettable episode of Lost Culture Eastus yet.
Starting point is 00:22:09 There's one more question which I promised myself I would ask. Can you drop that grunge album? I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet. But you don't have to be mad because you're in control. I am, but who do I drop it with? Should we start a label? Maybe.

Starting point is 00:26:29 Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. And we're back. And we always like to check in with Donald Trump, see what he got up to over the weekend. It's like watching the wanderings of like a blacked out drunk person. There's always something wild happening. In this case, at Trump's Coachella rally, police arrested a man named Vern Miller, who reportedly showed up to the rally with guns,
Starting point is 00:27:08 fake press credentials, and an unregistered SUV, and the sheriff who nabbed him had this quote. If you're asking me right now, I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt. So, yeah, he was like, yeah, not to brag, but we're basically like the boys were basically heroes saving fascism. OK, so you're saying it wasn't you. It was the deputies. Is that what you were saying? I probably basically had. I love it. I do love how they just can't help, but be terribly
Starting point is 00:27:47 unconscience in every sentence. If you're asking me right now, I probably did have deputies that prevented the third asset. It was, we ascertained a situation wherein my deputies did prevent the third assassination attempt. That was way too good of an impression. That is 100 percent how they talk. So it turns out Vern Miller wasn't an assassin.
Starting point is 00:28:11 First of all, dead giveaway. No middle name. But also, it sounds like a character from like a Kurt Vonnegut book or some. Vern Miller. Yeah, yeah. He's just a Trump super fan. Like he claims he's been active in helping him get reelected and was invited to the rally. I feel like we've had people like this who have had scary moments or run-ins with people. There's that guy with all the Trump shit on the outside of his van that had some terrifying
Starting point is 00:28:42 behavior. And this guy is just like some rando who talked his way into the VIP area. And when security picked up the fact that his car was unregistered, it was searched and they found a bunch of guns in there, which I feel like if you searched the cars of most people at a Trump rally, there would be a ton of guns in there.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I know it seems like it's arbitrary of like, if you find a lot of guns, isn't that your like badge to get in? Right. Isn't that your credentials to get into a Trump rally? Yeah, you'd feel like they would be like, we've got a bit of a situation here. We just searched his car and there's just trail mix. There's no guns here. Like he doesn't even have an AR-15 here. I know. It's like he has a grenade, that's Patriot, send him on through.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah, that's right. And the reason why the vehicle was unregistered is because Miller is one of the sovereign citizen guys who thinks he doesn't have to abide by any laws. He issued a 75 minute video statement. You can find out all about it. But yeah, I don't know that the right has run with the whole assassination narrative being like, they're still trying to kill our president, which like, it doesn't seem inconceivable to me that Donald Trump could be the
Starting point is 00:30:00 victim of a like John Lennon, Mark David Chapman situation where one of his adherents decides for convoluted reasons only they can understand to try and take him out. That's always been a thing that I've worried about because he is the head of such a bizarre cult of personality that is comprised of some of the strangest, most gun owning-ist humans on the planet. You know, it's just like that. Make America guns again. Make all of us guns.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And then obviously if that happened, he'd get taken out of context and, you know, cause a civil war or whatever. So it's like, I don't know, it does seem like a volatile situation, like his supporter base. And I don't think that's what is happening here. I think it was just a sovereign citizen sucking around and finding out why the laws apply to him. Did you see the video of him getting arrested?
Starting point is 00:31:01 No, it was incredible. He was like, his license plate was like, it looked like he drew it with crayon because he doesn't, his sovereign citizenship thing is that I, I, he kept saying, you know, this land belongs to God or I'm under God's rule, et cetera. But he was trying to use it as like actual, he's like, well, I don't have ID. My ID was ID is with God or whatever. And his license plate looked like it was made out of crayon. Like it was just, he like, and they were so patient
Starting point is 00:31:32 with this large white man. They were like, they asked multiple times for ID. They went back to their car. They were like, okay, well, we really need ID. And he's like, I can't give you ID. I'm a soldier of God or whatever the fuck he said. And they just, they were like, okay, well, we're gonna have to arrest you.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And he was like, well, you like, you know, my authority is under God. And like, it just went back and forth for so, I was like, if this man was black, he would have been shot. Like, this is crazy. Of course. And he was, and he got out and he was actually like, not like violent.
Starting point is 00:32:03 He was just like, why would I have ID? He was like, he was like, why? Like this land belongs to God. And it was just, I was kind of like, okay, this is like hippie vibes in the wrong direction. You know what I mean? This is like a man who does need community and like a deeper purpose, but went in the wrong Reddit, you know? Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:32:26 But it was just such a stark contrast because a hundred like the way he was talking, there's no way he would have been given that grace if he wasn't white, you know? So I don't know. It was kind of a weird, it was a weird, a really strange interaction. I'm like, these people just exist out there in the world and they vote. You know those videos of men who are being interviewed about like how a tampon works and then people are like, see, like they don't know anything. Get out your vote women. And it's like, okay, but how do we do that with crazy people? You
Starting point is 00:32:58 know, like, how do we do it? They're all around us. Yeah. An entertaining mixture of people that I don't know. It it seems like not not a great situation when there have been two assassination attempts already. But yeah, yeah, the the sovereign citizens do all seem to have a similar look about them, don't they? Yeah. Yeah. So just going off of that, that was not the only wild thing to happen a similar look about them, don't they? Yeah. Yeah. So just going off of that, that was not the only wild thing to happen to Trump this weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Just a quick rundown of some stories that if they happened to Kamala Harris, I feel like would probably be treated as campaign defining and campaign derailing by the mainstream media. So just at a rally in Arizona, he welcomed the many Azure Asians in the crowd. Azure Asians. He's a huge fan of sci-fi. I totally get it. Our sci-fi king. Blue Asians? It was determined he was either trying to pronounce Assyrians or Arizonans because he was in Arizona. So like Arizona still makes the most sense to me.
Starting point is 00:34:12 I guess there were people in the crowd who were wearing Assyrians for Trump shirts. But either way, just like. Weigh the fuck off as your Asians like the man Yeah, maybe he's just a huge fan. He's like the drums. Biden would not like he if he stumbled like that, everybody would be like he's insane. And he would write. Yeah, and rightly so. And I mean, like I do feel like this is getting sporadically picked up by the mainstream media.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Like the New York Times recently wrote an article about how his age is increasingly apparent in his rambling and incoherent speeches. That's also how young standups feel about me. And I totally get it. But like even in the audio of him welcoming the Azure Asians, the stuff you hear just like incidentally after is him going, and we have many good people, they knew who they are, I can't say their names,
Starting point is 00:35:12 just forgetting people's names and then trying to cover up. Then he's like, Robert O'Brien, I say his name because he brought these many great people. It's just like rambling nothing in there. You know, he's just not saying anything. It's just your typical family reunion where grandpa is just off by himself. Right, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:36 We also, so there's also this moment where he was supposed to hold a town hall with Kristi Noem. Famous dog lover. Famous dog lover, Kristi. Famous dog lover, Kristi Noem. Cut it off halfway through because people kept feigning in the audience. That's just because he was so hot. Right. And they couldn't handle it.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Well, it does have the same vibes as Michael Jackson in the 80s, just people being lifted out because- Because Trump's bad, he's bad. Yeah, he is bad like, you know, just people being lifted out because Trump's bad He's yeah, he is bad and you know it Yeah, um, I think I misheard what the actual lyrics are too bad I don't think it's the whole world has to answer right down to the tell you once again But that's what it was in my brain for a long time His supporters like being treated like shit is another thread it feels
Starting point is 00:36:27 like the media could be running with a little more. And would be with a Democrat, like if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz kept leaving their supporters stranded or just... Apparently the air conditioning wasn't turned up enough in this thing and multiple people were fainting at this town hall. wasn't turned up enough in this thing and multiple people were fainting at this town hall. It's just never, it's never going to be his fault. It is very cultish. I saw a TikTok of a woman describing her experience with a Trump supporter and how dead eyed and committed to the cause that the person she had the interaction with was. There's nothing he could do. He said he could shoot somebody and they'd be like, it's like there's nothing he could do. Like he said, he could like shoot somebody and they'd be like, it's justified.
Starting point is 00:37:07 You know? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess I don't know why. Like, I don't think a mainstream media narrative is going to like change anyone's mind. It just feels weird because it does also feel at the same time as they're just they've kind of given up on changing it. Like they're just like, yeah, but people seem to love it. Yeah, they're not not upholding their responsibility. But I feel like they're waiting for a Kamala Harris slip up.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Obviously not the slip up of refusing to break with Joe Biden's horrifying policy in Israel, as we'll talk about in a moment. If she did any of these things, I just feel like it would be treated as proof that she's unserious and not ready for the job. So anyway, after the two people passed out at this town hall, he was just like, fuck the questions. Let's listen to some jams and just did what apparently he does all the time in Mar-a-Lago and just like plays music for people and then kind of did like he does like a sort of dance thing where he just like kind of stands there and like sways a little bit. And he kind of does like a mini shimmy like every 15 to 20 seconds.
Starting point is 00:38:22 He'll like acknowledge that there's music on, but it's like very, he really reminds me of like a self-conscious guy whose wife is on the dance floor at a wedding. And he's just like on the side, like being like, ah, okay, I've got to acknowledge at the dance floor. So I'm going to move my hands a little bit, but like just little half moves here and there. It's also so funny that he's like, here's just music that I'm not playing. That's not a live band, but it's just like, will you listen to this playlist that I made? Like November rain, he plays, it's so weird. He plays like Ave Maria and then November
Starting point is 00:38:57 rain. And yet he just played music for a half hour and was like standing on the stage, not saying anything. And then the crowd just eventually started to like file out. That's a best case scenario for a Trump presidency is he does that every day. Yeah, right. Just like pumps up the jams and everyone's like, all right, sir. Although the people that he would have running things probably would be making bad, bad choices. But again, like just an excerpt from elsewhere in that, like the shutting things down and playing music is the thing that obviously got the headlines.
Starting point is 00:39:32 But like, this is a paragraph that he said at one point, people put signs this gun or we have some of them actually even spell the kind of gun they have. We have an AK-47 inside and people say, you know what? Let us just, I knew about an AK-47 from a few weeks ago and the AR-15. I know a lot. It's just like, what the fuck are you? Like I think he's trying to get it though. Only good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns thing.
Starting point is 00:39:59 But like just that braille of distracted. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And then he just gets distracted and chases a butterfly. Like if he wasn't so just out of step with nature, I could definitely see him chasing a butterfly. But if he wasn't so out of step with nature, I can't imagine him in nature of any like I feel like he wasn't so out of step with nature. I love that. I can't imagine him in nature of any.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I feel like he hasn't been in a forest in the entirety of his life. You're still on that camping trip, man. Where to be fair, I was just chasing butterflies around. Way down by the weight of trail mix. Exactly. If he chased a butterfly, it would be this like beautiful, like music in the background, him running through a field, and then he would fucking kill the butterfly.
Starting point is 00:40:52 And the music would stop. He'd grab it and just, yeah, trying to like put it in his pocket. All right. On the other side of things. So is it the other side? I mean, it's the same side because this is also what Trump will be doing. Yeah. But this continues to be a massive liability for the Harris campaign, in addition to just being absolutely horrifying and enraging. So Israel continues to commit war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, according to everyone who
Starting point is 00:41:26 is not the United States. Heading into the weekend, Israel was accused of war crimes by the United Nations over their quote, concerted policy to destroy Gaza's healthcare system. And that was then before the world witnessed the horror of a tent camp outside of a hospital being engulfed in flames and people with IVs in their arms being burned alive. They made that accusation first and then that happened. I genuinely might cry right now because it's... I know.
Starting point is 00:41:58 It's so horrifying. It's awful and I can't get... The thing is, I saw images of a man being run over by a tank like I don't know how long ago and it's just like every day the evil that I see that people are cosigning and enthusiastically lending their support for it is very devastating to my picture of humanity and like what we're capable of. And the only thing that is like making me feel better is the actual other side of that where I'm seeing like Palestinians taking care of each other and taking care of like
Starting point is 00:42:39 the cats that are displaced. Like I have to watch those videos because everything else that I'm seeing by the powers that be is like devastating. Yeah. It is so, it's so sad. It's so sad. It's, yeah, it's truly horrifying and it's enraging that this is the hill that they're going to die on. Like that this is the hill that they're going to die on. Like the Harris campaign. Like, you know, the Israeli military is just increasingly like belligerent. And like, yeah, like I said, like that accusation came and then they bombed the tent camp outside of a hospital. And I saw like some thing in Haaretz or whatever that was like Netanyahu is no longer looking for peace or a ceasefire. And it's like, he never fucking was. And we all knew he wasn't. And he literally was like, well, we're going to see in the next 45 days at like the 45
Starting point is 00:43:37 day mark for our election. Like they are like, it is so frustrating how many lives, like human life, these people are playing with when I don't think being the head of a nation state endows you with the ability to discern what is important in terms of human life and gives it doesn't give you a right to take it away. I'm like, these are people who don't give a fuck about your policies or your agenda. They're kids. They're people. Like, I don't think being the head of a government means that the people are actually giving you like this social contract where you can just play with their lives.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Like it is fucked on like such a human level. But yeah, he's not searching for a peaceful solution. This is what he wanted to do the whole time. This is what he wanted to drag the US into. And we're so fucking stupid and so stubborn that we just went along with it. And it's just like now where do we're like, where will she turn back? She has been so she lost all the steam of Tim Waltz being. They the right the right pick by just being so like pro Republican.
Starting point is 00:44:49 It's like you're telling, there's this, there are all these tweets and comments online that are like, you're telling us Republicans are bad and then that you're gonna work with them and put them in your cabinet. Yeah. And you're telling us- And it's bragging about fucking the co-sign
Starting point is 00:45:00 from Dick Cheney, the person who is basically the architect of the war on terror, which is like largely what we're seeing a continuation of here. Yeah. And like you're also saying these people are responsible for Roe v Wade falling and you want them in your fucking cabinet or to campaign with them. It's baffling. You're using their talking points on immigration from like four years ago for your platform now.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah. Like you're moving more, right? Yeah. It's the triangulation thing we've been saying all along is like the mistake that the Democratic Party continues to make. They're like, well, we've got to move more, right? And then we capture this big tent, but it actually just makes you the second cruelest of a cruel political establishment. And that doesn't do anything for you. There's more Donaghan
Starting point is 00:45:55 in The Guardian is like, the truth is that Netanyahu's style of governance, his bigotry, his corruption, his advancement of violent and exclusionary nationalism is part of a broader trend of far right authoritarianism. It is the same trend that Harris aims to defeat in her campaign against Donald Trump. It's so clear the path of just being like, we're going to break with this right wing bullshit. And instead it's at every angle, it feels like the campaign is trying to appease that. And it's... You can't be like, you can't say that the Republicans are bad
Starting point is 00:46:36 and then like try to be as racist as them, but not accomplish that. Like those voters are going to stay with Republicans. That is just not going to happen. You can't outpatriot the Republicans. You can't out-racist the Republicans. All you're doing is making us more like people on the left, progressives, even like you think people in the center are okay with what's happening with Israel in terms of like the money being spent there.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Like average Americans are looking at like grocery prices are looking at like the economy, the rent, even if they don't give a shit about what's happening in other countries, that being like such a big aspect of your platform right now is not going to help you in the little time we have left. Yeah, like we have weeks left at this point. That is crazy. This is gonna be so pain. We're in such a bad position right now.
Starting point is 00:47:33 It was like 49, 44 or something after the debate and now it's like 48, 48 or something crazy. Yeah, it is that same like bullshit logic that led to 2016 and I don't I don't know there is something we'll need to change I think. All right, let's let's take a quick break and we'll come right back and talk about something that's not this. We'll be right back. Hey, Bo.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Hey, Matt. that's not this. We'll be right back. because it's a ride, and you're doping down on it. But you're in it, you know? You're in the spook. I think we have to let them in on our little surprise. Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out, can't believe this. Mariah Carey will be joining us this week. I say, oh, I want to go work with such and such from across town. Yeah, from across town.
Starting point is 00:48:39 My girl across town. Yeah, across town. I know a guy across town. I know a guy. Readers, publishers, CDs, and finalists, tune in to maybe the most unforgettable episode of Lost Culture Eastus yet. There's one more question which I promised myself
Starting point is 00:48:53 I would ask. Can you drop that grunge album? I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet. But you don't have to be mad because you're in control. I am, but who do I drop it with? Should we start a label? Maybe. Wow.

This episode
Starting point is 00:50:16 is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image and huge life transformations. I was a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger.
Starting point is 00:50:42 I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. On Thanksgiving Day 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
Starting point is 00:51:17 He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
Starting point is 00:51:52 At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Cheryl Swoops, WNBA champ, three-time Olympian, and basketball hall of famer.

See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women to be at the top of our game. We wanna share those stories about balancing
Starting point is 00:52:42 work and relationships, motherhood, career shifts, you know, just all the s*** we go through. Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women. And T and I, well, we have no problem going there.

Starting point is 00:53:20 And we're back. Let's talk Elon Musk, because he is building the future by copying off of sci-fi movies. So he went viral over the weekend for his Wee Robot event. Certainly you've heard of iRobot. Well, what about Wee Robot? Elon Musk, famously great at community building. I'm so tired of Trump and Elon still being famous. I know. I don't wanna keep talking about them.
Starting point is 00:53:52 I know we have to, but I'm like, when will they go away? Yeah, I wonder if they ever will. It really feels like narcissism and extreme wealth are the cheat codes for this current version of reality, unfortunately. Hopefully we get over that. But yeah, so the big rollout was for Tesla's RoboTaxi. But the real star of the show was the Optimus robot. He's just pulling from anything. He's pulling from transformers.
Starting point is 00:54:29 He's pulling from iRobot. He's going to make like a sandworm soon. Yes. He would be like super into spice. The idea of like a psychedelic that helps you navigate space. That's what he and Joe Rogan are going to do on their next podcast. Exactly. I hope he does try to navigate space on psychedelics
Starting point is 00:54:52 and is the only person aboard that ill fated space mission. It makes me really sad that all these people do like a bunch of psychedelics and like have not learned anything. Yeah, it's just like I've actually figured out a way to optimize my schedule. Wait, what? That's what mushrooms told you? But did you see the footage of optimus? I saw like different footage from the event and how like the bartenders like with the bartenders considered optimus too, or were they? It was a series of robots.
Starting point is 00:55:25 But they but they were like real voices, like they were manually operated and like there were people talking like I was like, this just sounds like a dude from Silicon Valley. That's because that's what it was. It was a yeah. So people were like, holy shit, he made robots that can like play rock, paper, scissor, and, uh, like, serve you a drink. Like they were like doing bartender. People were like, uh,
Starting point is 00:55:52 good luck with your $20 minimum wage. Now that Elon do robot that can do this, um, not never thinking about the fact that even were this to be the AI, uh, driven thing that they claimed, it would be immensely expensive. But anyways. And also, and also like everybody was like, that's not the fucking point of a bartender. It's not to be like a vending machine. The point of a bartender is to like, similar to like how a hairdresser like is part of
Starting point is 00:56:22 the culture and like a human being and interacts with you and gives you free shots. Sometimes we just got to take the humanity out of every aspect. Yeah, that's true. Like hairdresser and bartender are like the remaining points of human interaction. And they're like, we got to get these fuckers out of here. They're reminding people of what we're doing. Yeah. Elon's like, human connection. Who needs that? Not me. Yeah. He bragged that Optimus will be the biggest product ever of any kind,
Starting point is 00:56:52 because he's prone to understatement and showed videos in which Optimus brings in Amazon deliveries that were probably also done by robots and water house plants. While like a family plays Jenga in the foreground and the optimist manages to resist the urge to kill its human masters. It really feels like kind of ominous. This is also how he views people who work for him. He views them as robots in the background. That's why he's like, they can be easily replaced by robots in the background. He doesn't value labor that isn't destroying democracy.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Right. What do we hate? Other people, right? So I've solved this problem. I've solved the problem of other humans. So this event had optimus optomai sprinkled around the event, interacting with people. Um, everybody was like, Oh shit. You yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Dunking on the service industry being like, it's over for you. People who do manual labor and like who do important jobs. who do manual labor and like who do important jobs in your face. But yeah, like this is just another fake demo from Elon Musk. He's done this so many times. He did self-driving cars like seven years ago and they were not self-driving. He totally like he had somebody controlling them from a distance. And also they had like scanned in the route and like done all these things. So but people believed in self-driving cars for the past decade because he faked a demo.
Starting point is 00:58:40 And they're like, oh, he'll figure out the tech soon enough. You know, like they're like, it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. So these were just robotic puppets that were being operated remotely by humans. Sounds like Elon Musk. If you ask me, hey, like I was at first I was like that feels like that would be hard to do even like to to operate remote control a robot so that it like picked up a glass and like poured the beer for you. But then I remembered that the mechanical Turk that is like from 200 years ago is the chess playing automaton that my god Amazon actually named their like one of their companies after because they recognized that their whole trick is to hide the humans behind shiny technology.
Starting point is 00:59:37 It was also doing the same thing. I think I had at some point assumed that the Mechanical Turk was a human in a robot costume, but it was also just there was somebody in a hidden compartment controlling it with levers and it was able to like pick up the chess pieces and move them around. So there's like nothing new here. This is 200 year old technology. That is so funny that I was going to say like all of the like robo bus and shit, it's like people just reinventing public transport as just people like trying to make shinier and more sleek what's already out there and needs funding.
Starting point is 01:00:15 You know? Right. Yeah, exactly. Just find ways to further deprive people of the thing that we need the most and replace with robots and technology, and just remove the face-to-face communication at any cost. Including in this case, they're replacing bartenders who, as people were like, there goes your $20 paycheck asshole. The people who operate these robots remotely make as much as $48 an hour. So they're removing them at cost to do the job more slowly.
Starting point is 01:00:54 But the benefit is that they're more of a fit for the company, you know what I mean? Because they're Silicon Valley people and not like manual labor, low skilled people, you know what I mean? That's right. But that's like something else that like really fucking bothers me. Having come from STEM, girls in STEM, they quit for standup. I'm trying to deal with the gap between education. I'm trying to reverse it by getting dumber as I get older. Going to Jupiter, so to speak.
Starting point is 01:01:25 I'm defying the gender binary by going to Jupiter to get more stupider. There is such a deep level of arrogance in a lot of tech people's bodies. It's so deeply ingrained that because they use brain and computer, brain and computer better than other people, you know? Yeah. And like the fact that they're willing to allow themselves to be tricked by aesthetics and trends will never penetrate to make them feel like shallow or part of the culture or just human like everybody else. Like that person making $48 an hour,
Starting point is 01:02:07 they will always justify it as being like a higher skilled, more specialized job than the average warehouse worker or whatever who's like operating machinery in a similar way because they have to be better, because they have to have a reason to justify their place in like culture right now and how much money they're making. And like, they have to be special because they were told growing up that they're special
Starting point is 01:02:34 and they're smart and that makes them like better than other people and it fucking doesn't. Like you were tricked by shiny robots just like everybody else. I'm sorry to tell you. Yeah, they're taking big swings. They've got to do big swings. In this case, like he stole the whole look like that was another thing. It was controversial.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Like people did point out, like there are people who are like Tesla, like they cover Tesla as their main beat. And they were like, this is a completely, quote, totally dishonest demo is what they called it, which they were just like, man, why, why would you completely lie? Like because he did the thing and like didn't admit that they were being remotely controlled that just like came out later. So insane.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Also, I want to say like like I saw a tweet about how like Donald Trump would be an amazing real housewife. And I feel the same way about Elon Musk. Like this is 100 percent what real housewives are about. They're throwing parties where they appear to be like fancier and better than everybody else. And then everybody gets mad because it's not what it looks like. And then everybody gossips about it. I'm like, just go on one of these shows, just be a real

Starting point is 01:04:36 mind. And I can understand like, okay, the technology needs to catch up with the art because art is always imagining things in the future. And I can understand that happening and it has happened in like science fiction and all sorts of things, but it is your fucking company. Like have some vision, like have, have fun with it. Like it doesn't have to be like what everybody else thinks it should look like. It could be a new cooler thing that people didn't realize they needed,
Starting point is 01:05:02 but you're too egotistic and narcissistic, but like simultaneously lack creativity to like make something cool and new. Yeah, I do have to give a shout out to Jam, who called the story more like lie robot. Am I right? So when it's for him. All right.
