Earlier, I was bragging to my girlfriend about how I missed you guys and it would be cool to hang out. And now we're figuring out sock. I thought parties. Yeah. And that's why you missed us, bro. No, but yeah, I mean, I remember I think that was in the the pilot of the shield where they called it a sock party.

Now Vic Mackie brings in a fucking phone book to beat the shit out of someone in a police interrogation to be like, bro, this shit ain't gonna leave bruises. So I'm about to beat the hell out of you with this phone book. With a phone book? Yeah. Yeah. Because it's not leave because the point of impact isn't is it so wide enough. It's so wide, Miles.

That's brilliant. Yeah. But I'm like, I don't know, bro. Somebody who's definitely slapped in the face, that's definitely a nice thing. That's like that thing, like you have to tell me if you're a cop. Like it's like a thing that they use in the movie

or like the first phone call. It's like a thing, a rule they made up for the movies to move things dramatically forward. Whereas in reality, it just like doesn't work that way in reality The please don't give a fuck if you get a bruise Oh, wow, there's some fucking Instagram video called can phone books leave bruises experiment Experiment. Oh, we're talking about today scientific method. All right. Oh, it's Australians bruises like a phone book. Like a bar.

Okay. Well, today we test. I get to the y'all being the shit of each other. I'm actually sorry. I mean, oh, oh, oh, oh, no. Why do you have to have his bare ass out to get hit with the it was important to the to the shot composition? Well, well, anyway, we just guys want to fuck each other so bad. You can tell. Yeah. Let me get my butt out for what, bro? Our third scientific experiment that somehow requires me to be faced down with my bare

ass. They don't ask. Marty later, we make it a video about an experiment with it. Figured out if it leaves bruises, something today we're going to experiment on whether a watched pot actually boils. And for this first part, I'm'm gonna go lay down out in the backyard with my bare ass in the air. Face down, ass up.

Wait, what? That's the way we like to experiment. That's the way. That's the way. Hey, what's up y'all, this is Eric Andre. Well, I made a podcast called Bombing about absolutely tanking on stage.

We do take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It is Wednesday, March 5th, 2025.

Find another angle. March the 5th? Man. Well, it's national cheese doodle day. It's national absinthe day. And hey, why don't you pull up to the guy with the funny collar and the big house and let him put some ash on your forehead and a plus sign cuz it's Ash Wednesday y'all. Tight! I've been hearing about that one. Nominated as a part of the day, Santos. Did you think? What is what?

What was that Latin? I don't know I was trying to do like some Latin type shit. Yeah yeah yeah yeah dude get that ash on get your ash on. Get your ash on. Is this when Lent starts? This is Lent baby. Yeah baby. This is so yesterday. Fat Tuesday. Get your ash on. Is this when Lent starts? This is Lent baby. So yesterday, fat Tuesday, because this is when the Catholics stop, it's like Ramadan, but they can't eat at

all. 40 days, 40 nights, the Catholics aren't allowed to eat at all. Or give up your weird shit. I love the logic of the twisted logic I applied to observing Lent, because for me, I was like, this is how I'm gonna rebalance my karmic scale, to be like, I've been fucking up. God, I won't smoke weed during the week. For 40 days. That was what I did.

Those were like my first brushes with sobriety, was like, I'm gonna try and quit drinking for a while. And I actually did it once in my twenties. And I was like, so I can't have a problem, I'm good here. And yeah, and then I tried it again in my thirties. Didn't take more than a couple of days. The four loco. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

And now I don't drink at all Anyway, they should make three loco to you know to honor the triune God for brains just Trinity Trinity let's take one loco off the fucking table here and get back to I mean it was the father son Didn't it the three was it made illegal like they outlawed it there was for being there was was pre-ban, there's the pre-ban for loco that killed a couple kids. That had amphetamines. And then, yes. And then the other stuff that just made, gave you terrible stomach problems if you pounded more than two kids. Right, right. Yeah, so the problem is big government interfering. That's what I'm saying. Anne Reind.

RFK is here to save us. I said Anne Ryne. You know Anne Ryne, the famous vampire libertarian author. Yes. She's on her grind. Oh yeah. On her grind, all about that grind. On her grind even. My name is Jack O'Brien, AKA good night, sweet Skype.

Well, it's time to go. That one courtesy of HalcyonSalad on the Discord, RIP to Skype. Although today- The calling service being put out to pasture. On CNN, they were talking to the Canadian politician, Jagmeet Singh, and they, they in the corner, they said, via Skype. I was like, y'all are not going to be able to do that shit for long. Too little too late Skype.

One last hurrah. The rage against the dying of the Skype. Exactly. The Skype marketing person runs into the office today. They're like, I got an exclusive. We're on CNN. They're like, buddy, buddy, buddy. Oh man.

Your shit is in a box in the corner over there. Did we save the rec buddy, buddy. Oh, yeah, your shit is in a box Did we save the rec center? No No, we did not it's gonna be a mall parking lot does make me wonder though Halcyon salads using the death of Skype to in in that song context does imply that that goodnight sweetheart song was about So like someone they were about to murder, maybe. I don't know. Spooky. If you think about it that way. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host.

It's Mr. Miles Gray. Mr. Miles Gray, Gary Slime, aka Salim Yarg. That's my name backwards. I always used to say that as a kid. Also the Lord of Lancasham, the Shogun with no gun back in the San Fernando Valley, just for a little bit, as I hope to return to the wonderful Altadena area anyway, thank you for having me back Jack.

Thank you. Salim Yarg. Yeah. Yarg. I had this whole thing when I was a kid where I would say everything backwards in my head. I don't know if that's like a weird thing or light OCD or whatever, but there was like a time where like I could not like I would figure out if I was fucking with a word based on how it sounded backwards to me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I still do that shit.

Don't worry about it, nearbow cash. Nearbow cash is kind of dope. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, like it's always a good clue in like a book that's aimed at 11 year olds. That's actually Satan backwards. There's something about this Dr. Alucard guy. Miles, we are thrilled to be joined once again by writer. One of the best podcast hosts and executive producers doing it.

You know him from stuff they don't want you to know ridiculous history missing in Arizona. It's Ben Bowlin. Oh snap. Oh, pictures and bowling, right? And AKA, no, Wab, NED missed you guys. I know. Yeah, I got the got the got the gray miles. So they are there. You guys, how are you doing?

It's been fucking forever. Good. So I'm doing great. Everything is great. 2025 started off with a bang. And yeah, no notes. No notes. No notes. 2025. I love you so much for asking.

Love to see an outsider go to DC and just kind of shake things up. You know what I mean? To the point where you've killed it because you shook it so hard. Spelling shake S-H-E-I-K shortly. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly. But I would not. Oh boy. Yeah, you know. Yeah, no, no. It's cool that we have a Russian president, you know? That's really like, reaching out.

We don't have new ground. I feel like the news really isn't doing a good job of like acknowledging the moment and that, you know? I think they're nailing it. They want to talk about Obama all the time, but they're not talking about our first Russian president. Damn. I know.

Thank you. Or South African president. You know? That's the real DEI, right? That we were looking for as a country. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Sorry.

It does seem like we're going to try and go Trump free on this bitch, but it does seem like we're, we might be seeing the beginnings of some sort of the mainstream media waking up because it's talking up their 401k. You can do whatever that turns out you can do whatever the fuck you want. As long as you don't mess with just don't fuck up my money. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ben, we're thrilled to have you here.

We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell the listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today. On this video episode, you can go watch this on YouTube, see what it looks like on Friday. First, we're going to check in with our ongoing Stroid watch. It's like, let's go, it's time for the Astroid. Yeah. Woo. All right.

Yeah, for some reason the media has been quiet about it. We got a lot of like- Probably because it's fucking so scary, dude. The chances have gone up. The chances have gone up. Yeah, we'll check in. Can't wait for this one. They usually do a really good job about like, you know, deescalate.

When they have a problem they're talking about, they usually do a good job of deescalating and being like, okay guys, so turns out not so, so we're just going to check in, see what the percentage is at. We are going to, my underrated a few weeks ago was like mundanity and just like finding mundane shit to do, reconnecting with the mundane because everybody's just connected to this big, horrible hive mind where we all feel like we're losing all the time. And so we're going to do a mundanity check and some of the trends, trends of

just the stupidest mundane shit people are doing online. It's back, baby. We're also going to connect with our ridiculous history appearances because there's some weird flexes from history that we want to check in with. Some mundane trends from the past that we want to talk to you about. Ben. I am so on board with this, by the way. We will talk about Mark Zuckerberg's Benson Boone

tribute to his wife. It's all about her in a way that was all about him. And by her, I mean me. Yes. All of that, plenty more. But first, Ben, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? All right. I know you guys rightly roast me on some of these things. First off, I got super into camels. Camels look marvelous.

You see you're switching off Marlboro's. I hear that's better for your Turkish Silver's long distance running. Yeah, more Turkish royal guy. You're right No, do camels look goofy? Are normal things Some in person I Have seen camels in the past not to brag also to your earlier point about historical flexes You guys remember you taught me that Charles Darwin actually ate substance of animal. So I ate some camel recently and I felt kind of bad because, uh, you know, if

you look at them, they got the clown shoes, you know, through millions of years of evolution, they're always kind of smirking at you. Yeah. Wait, they have big feet that like go out like, like our feet. What do you mean clown shoes? Dude, they have very wide, like. Wide fat feet. Yeah.

They're like Clydesdales. Yeah. Quentin Tarantino. They're nature's Clydesdales. Quentin Tarantino would love it. As soon as he learns about camel feet. Not enough toes on that though. Not enough toes on that for him, bro.

I know him. I know him. He's more of a toe guy. Uh, yeah. Camel camels are, uh, in a previous conversation, we talked about the octopus and the fact that the octopus can dream, right? And, uh, how they can exhibit colors via their chromatophores. Anyway, I got super into camels because we, uh, we found out on ridiculous history that back in the 1800s, the U S government tried to start their own camel core. That's what they called it.

And that's a sub genre of music. Yeah. I was going to say it's like normal core, but yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, it's the new Uzbek drill rap. Okay. Camel core. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's the new Uzbek drill wrap. Okay. Camel core. Yeah. So learn about that.

And then thought of you guys, when I was looking into another thing about astrology and government, like how the, the world powers will often consult low key with astrologers to determine timing of policy. At this point, I have to ask you guys, what's your sign? I mean, first of all, my only complaint with that is that it's low key. I think we should all be respecting the stars openly and proudly.

My sign is Leo, and I've never told anyone that I was a Leo without them being like, that makes sense. And then they've never been able to explain why it makes sense to me in a way that is satisfactory. Right. Yeah, because you go in a room and you just let it, you just roar and let everybody know. I know. Yeah.

Isn't that supposed to be like big personality? Like, that's sort of like this sort of stereotypical Leo trait. Yeah, I'm a Virgo like 90% of the Earth. Uh-huh. Right. Right. Like you're on the, you're on a date and someone says, stereotypical Leo trait. Yeah, I'm a Virgo like 90% of the earth. Right, right. Like you're on the you're on a date and someone says, Oh my god, you're a Sagittarius and you say, Oh, what's that a one in 12 chance? That's right. We should play another stupid version of the lottery. What are they? What are they? What happens? I get

astrologers like, I don't don't fucking sign no voting rights act right now. True story. True story. OK, two examples. Keep it quick. The nation of Myanmar back in like 2005, they moved their entire fucking capital to a new place that had not been built because an astrologer told them they needed to avoid a disaster.

So for true believers, this becomes interesting because three years later in 2008, the biggest natural disaster in all of the nation's history of Myanmar, it hit the location of the old capital. So people were again convinced that there was some sort of discernible, predictable pattern in the stars for a lot of us in the zeitgeist. Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist? Zeitgeist.

All right, you're from the south. Don't you don't have to cover it up. Oh, my gosh. In the zeitgeist. Oh, you guys. Ronald Reagan and the Reagan administration. Reagan. Yes. Reagan. Sorry, administration. Reagan. Yes.

Yeah. Sorry guys, I was Reagan. Consulted with an astrologer named Joan Quigley and. Yeah. Quigley. Nancy and Nancy and Ronnie. Yeah. Some of our greatest decision makers of all time.

Did you guys hear that Tarantino announced his 10th movie? No. Yeah, it's gonna be an adaptation of this little piggy. All right, Ben, what is something that you think is underrated? Underrated since we're talking about the South, Waffle House, Waffle House, severely underrated. FEMA needs Waffle House to rate uh, to rate natural disasters,

which is crazy. The Waffle House index is a real thing. It's like unofficial. I'm doing air quotes, but, uh, but yeah, folks at home, he's doing air quotes. People are just listening. That's why you should check out the YouTube video. Check out the YouTube episode on Friday.

Um, so you can see his fingers go. Um, yeah, I've got a Friday. So you can see his fingers go. Yeah. I've got a thing. We saw, I remember recently, I got a thing. Fingers, O'Brien. Yeah. That's what they call you.

He's fucking fingies. Can I get the breakfast omelet with some potato fingies? Roasted potato fingies. Have you guys been to Waffle House? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hell, yeah. Oh, yeah. I like it capped. I like it smothered, you know, smothered, covered, fucking covered. Wait, which one's cheese?

I forget. Anyway, I just like everything. Onions, gravy, whatever. I want to fall asleep at the table. They'll fuck with you. Yeah. The, it, we, I think during like our last, like when there were like five hurricanes converging on the Southeast of the U S we covered a story about the Waffle House index and that like, they take it seriously. They're like, they have their own situation. Right.

Like of meteorologists tracking these because they were like, well, we need to stay open, we make great money when we're the only thing that's open within a hundred square miles. So we like track everything, know what needs to happen in order to stay open. And because the government is apparently cheap, they're just like, yeah, let's just pay attention to their thing. Are you guys open? Yeah.

That's what they do. Yeah. And also this goes into our idea of prognostication, the idea of measuring, as we said, the non-zero likelihood of asteroids showing up, just to party. And I got to tell you guys, I was thinking of Waffle House specifically because of the disaster index, but also because I recently got in deep with Waffle House. I'm trying to extricate myself. You owe them money?

They're pretty gangster, man. Honestly. Yeah. I just don't want to end up scattered, covered and smothered. So I'm going to recommend Waffle House. You saw what happened that last guy who reneged on that NFT deal with Waffle House, like you're trying to do. They put all that American cheese down his throat. Suffocated. put all that American cheese down his throat. Suffocated. Yeah. What is something Ben that you think is overrated? Artificial intelligence. Oh, come off it.

You know what? Now, I think it's underrated. Because everybody keeps talking shit about AI. That's my favorite. You know, people who actually have that kind of fucking logic they apply to things like, well, now that everyone's against it, I'm actually for it. You're like anti-Semitism? Wait, what do you? I like a research thing that just tells me what I want to hear.

I think that's especially important in our modern world. Yeah. I just, ah, all right. So here's the thing. Philosophically, this is going to sound dumb, but humans can't define intelligence to begin with. So if an intelligent thing exists, why is it inherently artificial? Also, also the large language models are just kind of trash. And I feel like an old dude yelling at the sky. You know what I mean? And I know it's, I know like you guys are

shouting out already. It's, it's very, there's a very, uh, important social trend to be contrarian or to love a thing or to hate a thing, but I would look at the money at this point. You know what I mean? And I love that NFT comparison. Yeah. Remember when everybody was all about NFTs and there was like bored ape or whatever, and that was the future. Even selling episodes of podcasts of as NFT. Anyway, but that's neither here nor there. But yeah, no, I mean, I think that is a huge part of it is like, you just see how, who is invested in making people think it's great.

And you're like, you miss me with this shit. And this one, like going back to our point of like the media only wakes up that things are fucked up when the stock market starts to crumble. The stock market is so heavily leveraged on AI shit right now, because it's like all these massive tech companies that haven't been able to come up with their next innovation. And so they're like, this is that's where all of this hype and energy comes from is like, we get to keep like getting people more and more excited about some future like growth. I know it's not good to be making that hand gesture at that angle, but like future guys, Jack did a Nazi

salute that way. But let's hold them accountable. Yeah, it's it's buzzing. Now it's like it's a hip thing to do. You see that there was a guy who owned a construction company. Did you see that clip where the dude did it at a fucking like conservative meetup? And then everyone's like, what the fuck? And he's like, yo, I was just emulating the fun Elon Musk. It was a joke. Wow.

It was the Elon Musk fun one. Yeah. Not the Hitler one. That's what's the logic. It was like just to goof around. That's what the hell is supposed to be taken as an actual, just because you're doing a literal Nazi sleut doesn't mean you should take it literally as some kind of Nazi sleut. It's just like fun.

Yeah, really it's a moment for you guys to hold yourself for an inventory. You know what I mean? I'm just saying open your eyes, man. Yeah. But yeah, they are there. Like, I don't think this one is going to fall apart until it absolutely has to. At which point the stock market is going to take just the hugest shit. Yeah.

I mean, that's why that deep seek AI was such a huge shakeup because they're like, bro, they, they're like, hold on, bro. Y'all asked us for hundreds of millions of dollars to get this shit going. They just said they did this shit with 7 million and then just cheated off your homework. Open sourced it. What the fuck is this? They open sourced it. They're like, but we need more process.

We need the money for more processors to beat them. And it's just that the fucking merry-go-round goes round and round and around. And it's like, bro, you're not making money. You're spending money. And no one's like, this shit is now, I cannot live day to day without it. No. All the innovation that's happened, like positively from the tech industry, or at least the vast majority of it has been like driven by open source and like being able to like bring together a lot of minds and the current iteration of the

tech industry is all about siloing things off and protecting like investments essentially. And so yeah, they're going to be getting the shit kicked out of them by other countries for the next, I don't know, however many decades until they recognize that this is a major problem. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At what point will it be too late? Uh, our favorite humor is Gallo's humor.

And there is no whistle like a graveyard whistle, right? Uh, I also, uh, I got to know what a fucking graveyard whistle is, man. Ain't no whistle like a graveyard whistle. Holy shit. So this is something also that I think is very interesting for all of us who are fans of language. I love the corporate buzzwords that are coming out now. And it's so easy to make your own and just say it confidently with a straight face and people will be like, like, let's, let's smack this with the phone book or whatever. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a world. Someone will go, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Look, we're just going to take this code. She's going to beat it with a sack of oranges. You know what I mean? Yeah. Get me. All right. Yeah, they are. They frequently with a sack of oranges. You know what I mean? Until it's Bruce free. You get me? All right.

Yeah, they are. They frequently are like kind of violent. Yeah. Yeah. War metaphors. Like how we have a- Tip of the spear. Because we like to, you know, we're the part that actually goes into the

enemy's midsection and disembowels them. Yeah. Like calm down Derek. That's kind of what my division does for the company. And you guys are the serrated barbs, so when you pull it out for another strike, you then eviscerate them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You guys crushed that. Yeah. That's what we do. We just talk about medieval weapons all the time off mic. Let's take a quick break. We're running out of time. We gotta come back and check out Stroidwatch. Stroidwatch. See how close this fucking thing is to us.

I haven't heard from the New York Times in fucking weeks. We'll be right back. Hey, it's Amartines. The news can feel like a lot on any given day, but you can't just ignore Las Noticias when important world changing events are happening. That is where the Up First podcast comes in. Every single morning in under 15 minutes, we take the news and boil it down to three essential stories so you can keep up without feeling stressed out.

Listen up first from NPR on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here? How goes lower? From Blumhouse TV, I Heart Podcasts, and Ember 20 comes an all-new fictional comedy podcast series. Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend. And Santi was gone. I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi.

And what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Mm, pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill-conceived, investigative hookups. Mama always used to say,

"'God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex.'" And, as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup. Now take a big whiff, my brah. Listen to The Hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts.

Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. Did you know that companies hire the most in the first two months of the year? Or that nearly half of workers are worried about being left behind? I am Andrew Seaman, LinkedIn's editor-at-large

for jobs and career development. And my show, Get Hired, brings you all the information you need to, well, get hired. People are forming opinions of you even before you log into the Zoom or walk into the room. And so you really have to think about what is it I want to display? You don't plant a garden and then just walk away and expect it to thrive.

You are in there pulling out the weeds, you're pruning it, you're watering it. It's the same thing with your network. You should always be in there actively managing your network. If you don't feel confident to say a number, even admitting that to a recruiter is going to be far better than saying, well, what is your budget for the role? A lot is in the follow-up, right? Don't wait to follow up.

Whether you're a new grad, an established professional, or contemplating a career change, Get Hired is for you. Listen to Get Hired with Andrew Seaman on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you like to listen. And we're back. We're back. And it is time for Stroid.

Stroid, watch! Let's fucking go, Astro! Okay, so last time we checked in, we were around 3.1%. That was really... 3.1%. That's basically a guarantee, bro. Bro, that's, again, like we said last time, don't look at that as a 97% chance it doesn't hit. Look at that as a 3% chance that we're all gonna die

Start smoking Somebody call fat Joe because I'm guessing the percentage now is all the way up. Okay. Let me look right now Subaru telescopes data zero point zero zero 4% fuck Okay, let me look right now. According to the Subaru telescopes data, 0.004%. Fuck. All right, so it's not. Well, that's just like a telescope on someone's Subaru. That's just like that telescope's opinion, man.

Opinion, man. Fuck. So it's down to no, it presents no risk anymore. Oh, but hold on. There's a chance you can hit the moon. It can hit the moon. But that one almost sounds even more fun. Someone take the moon down a peg.

Yeah. I mean, it's kind of an asshole as far as planets and planetary bodies. Your cycle. Get out of here. You lunar freak. But free. Apparently that could also go down to zero. So back to work everyone.

Straight watch over no more. No nothing to see here. Boom. That's it. Also, my underrated this week was wind and you know, the moon gets a lot of the credit for the movement of the ocean. It's all wind. It's all, it's basically all wind.

Like the tides. Yes. Are the moon, but waves are all wind. Okay. So fuck you the moon. Is this like a tease for your new hit piece on the moon? Like, yes, are the moon, but waves are all wind. Okay. So fuck you, the moon. Is this like a tease for your new hit piece on the moon? Like, yeah, yeah, I'm not a fan. Not a fan, man.

Yeah. New, new moon party has called. Okay. Lunar. It's not great. It's just Jack reading a bunch of moon facts and go out. Oh, you believe that? Yeah. But yeah, I don't know.

This is funny to see like how it's, we were all reading about the earth sitting earth destroying, uh, or city destroying Astor that might hit and then fucking crickets. And then I look and then I'm like, Oh, right. It's because they didn't, the media is not there to reinforce our feelings. If you know, no, no, no, it's all just click bait now. Yeah. It's because they didn't, the media is not there to reinforce our feelings. No, no, no, no. It's all just click bait now. Yeah.

It's all click bait. They might've written about it, but that's just like not the way are you cause attention ecosystem works anymore. Well, also, wait, wait, also fair point though. We can't stop anything. Right. We like human civilization doesn't have the technology currently to do anything other than observe and have a whole ship. We can stop it. Yeah.

We can do it. Yeah, we're like a civilization or like you two guys. If we just consulted the right star charts, we would have actually been good. I get so high. I hijack a blue origin spaceship at knife point and I fucking handle it. Okay. That's how I pitched it to NASA and they were like, no NASA, NASA straight up went up there on the dart mission, landed on a asteroid. No, I think they didn't land. That's Armageddon. I think they land. So they landed with Bruce Willis. Miles, Miles. They crushed it.

Okay. So Miles hasn't done the research that I have. So they put together a team of oil drillers. Okay. Landed on... I totally was thinking of Armageddon. I watched the feed. I watched the fucking feed of the Dart mission and still,

my brain, my memory got overtaken by Armageddon. But anyways, they were able to steer, was it a comet or an asteroid? An asteroid. Asteroid, like slightly off its course, early enough in advance. And the thing that like slightly off its course early enough in advance. And the thing that they knocked off its path was bigger than the one, this one. So by the way, this wasn't even an earth destroyer.

This was a city destroyer. It wasn't shit. Okay. It wasn't shit. I'll eat that shit bro. Just put me, just put me in ground zero bro. I gobble that shit up. Yeah, you're a buffet.

I'll eat that shit. Gobble that shit up. Got a phone book big enough to hit the asteroid. You know what I mean? Leave a bruise. Won't even leave. They won't even know what happened. This bag of oranges and phone book, bro. We don't do it at night when it's asleep. Last point though. True story before we get the emails. The United States during the cold war

did have a plan to attempt to detonate nuclear weapons on the moon. Just, you know, fuck around, figure it out. Project A119. They were so horny to detonate nuclear weapons fucking everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. They all over like Greenland, the Arctic. They were so. It's like the same fun you have as a kid, like when you bring like an empty Coke can into a pool and you're like, dude, look, look, bro, fucking pool water here.

Nice pouring out now. Whoa. Like the fuckers. Like the fucking n water here. Nice to pour it out now. Whoa. Like, look at the thing. It's been nuked. Oh, boy. Oh, shit. The photos of the Las Vegas beauty contests that are happening.

That's like Miss Nuclear Bomb. And there's like a mushroom cloud in the background. There's just incredible stupidity. Atomic architecture and home goods back then. That whole interior design style that was built out of our love of the fucking vaporizing weapon of the atomic bomb. Hey, speaking of historical stupidity that we should be taking our cue from, let's talk about our pitch for a return to the mundane that we. That, uh, we're, we're already starting to see the early signs of, I, I was

talking about, uh, this podcast, Ben, have you heard the blind boy podcast? Uh, I have not. He's this Irish artist. He was in the, uh, rap group, the rubber bandits, and he just has, uh, a really cool kind of w like, it's like half poetry, half him just like talking sometimes really great interviews with Irish people. But he interviewed this guy who goes around Ireland, like lifting rocks for, like just, and these rocks, these rocks are like famous.

They're like, Oh, that's the, you know, Blarney stone, right? You know, it's not, but like they're famous rocks from an era when this was like a, essentially a sporting event. The local strongman comes to town and tries to lift your like famous rock. And these are big ass rocks. Big ass rocks. Yes. Yes.

You're getting ideas there for a second. You're like, cause I can fucking lift a rock. I can lift a rock besides my hand. All right. I'm off. Big-ass rocks, which have weird centers of gravity, so you have to have their strategy involved. Anyway, after listening to them talk about lifting rocks for an hour and a half, I was like, this is the future of entertainment.

I really feel like we need to get, bring back Mundanity. Yeah. Yeah. Not that's not the failed hybrid band that was Olivia Munn was the lead singer of Danity Kane, not that my, you wrote that in the doc. Yeah. I went and Googled. I didn't get it.

Oh yeah. My brain sucks. The other one is- So I went and Googled Olivia Munn singer. She's been in some music videos, I guess. But guess what? My Wisconsin football fans will love this. Remember the celebrity powerhouse couple of Olivia Munn and Ron Dane,

also known as Munn Dane? Hey, hey. Alright folks. Again, timely reference. That man is 46 years old now. But anyway. Holy shit. Mundane.

Finger on the pulse, folks. Yeah, finger on the pulse. Finger on the pulse of a corpse that expired 20 years ago. But yeah, so the latest one, this is the reason why I brought it up. Cause Jack, when you brought that up, I was like, yeah, no, we are due for mundanity again. Is this like trend now that is, quote, the droppings drop stuff on your foot challenge?

Now, now I just seemed basically what people do is they're just out here dropping shit on their feet and going, oh, gee, Ben, real quick. Fix your face. When Miles was talking about the new national pastime, you're right. You're right. I was screwed his face up. Fix your face when Miles was talking about the new national pastime. What was he doing? You're right. You're right. I was giving up the weird energy. He screwed his face up like. You better light up like downtown Vegas, motherfucker, when I bring this shit up.

I don't want to see those sour puss. You guys are right. And I need to just move with the times I move with the times. You know, I need to stop catching shit right before it drops on my feet. That's very uncool. That's right. Yeah. Get with the Danny Kane references.

Yeah. Otherwise, that's why I look like a cop because I keep catching shit before it hits my foot. Or moving your foot out the way like a coward. Yeah. Miles was there. You saw it. So this challenge isn't that dumb though, because what happens

is a person drops something heavy on their foot. Then after they yell, ow, they then rate the pain on a scale of one to 10. So that's, that's how it's different. But yeah, you're right. That isn't that. So this one's not that dumb. You're right. No, no, this is way better.

It's like the thing before about the lifting the heavy weights, but they've added like a sequel into it. They've added a second act where you rate the pain. So this is from ITV news because I mean, predictably, I think it seems like TikTok has pretty much censored the hashtag because something about violating community guidelines around like hurting yourself needlessly and promoting that kind of behavior or something. But here's something from ITV news where they were showing just kind of like some of the clips that were being shown on the show, like, you know,

like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, because something about violating community guidelines around hurting yourself needlessly and promoting that kind of behavior or something. But here's something from ITV News where they were showing just kind of like some of the clips of people that were just just dropping shit on the little feetsies. And have you seen this trend? Oh, what? All right. So that one looks fucking like nothing. That is nothing. Are you saying that guy guys got weak feet?

He, I'm trying to, I'm trying to gain how heavy, how heavy bottomed of a boiling pot that was. Cause if it's just a pot, so he just dropped a pasta pot on his foot and then. This might, he might be capping. Okay, let's go on. Well, it might be really bad for you. The video show.

Okay, now this dude is about to drop a fucking air fryer. Yes, this I don't like, but watch how low he gets. This is dropping increasingly heavy objects on their feet. Things like toasters. Oh, my God, bro. Said TikTok users could. OK, that's OK. He's hamming it up. Little TV remote.

Yeah, that's all it was. Yeah, that was a TV remote. Come on, man. I've seen people start with like a tennis racket and then like move their way up to like a full on like 40 millimeter artillery shell. Yeah. We have a 40 millimeter. Jack. It's Texas baby. You can have world building. Yeah. Okay. You know, it's right. Just I'm

just seeing what else I'm a pain and disability and advise users to steer well clear as it could damage the nerves, bones, or joints in your face. Okay. That's just like a podiatrist's opinion, man. Opinion, man. Yeah. I like that they had to go to a podiatrist to be like, this cool or what?

Right, right, right. We good here? Could we look at the, so I really liked this, um, this one that I, I mentioned my last pitch for mundanity that is making cookies, making chocolate chip cookies with a trash grabbers. So you can't use your hands. You can only use trash grabbers. And I just liked the challenge of it, the creativity, the messiness.

And they really seem to be having fun. I think they also might be hammered, but. Wait, like are they high or are they? Almost definitely. I don't know. Why are they on trout? We'll probably won't be able to play the audio because of this damn A-Team theme song.

But anyway, here we go. You get the idea off of basically. They're softening that butter. I like that it's a team effort song. But anyway, here we go. You get the idea off of basically they're softening that butter. I like that. It's a team effort. Yeah, totally. So it's a team effort. Okay.

This is totally like, this is some drunk. I'm bored in my cabin type shit. We're like, you start losing it and you're like, dude, let's make a game out of the objects that are haunting us in this room. Like summer camp, absolute crippling boredom. Yeah. Let's do anything. Let's invent a new sport, which is how we got basketball by the way. So just, you know, couldn't James Naismith was like teaching a bunch of

children at a school and it was like too cold outside to play any of the sports that existed and like in order to get the kids to stop like jacking off. He was like, let's, let's create a sport that you guys can play inside. Uh, and that hence we have basketball. It is true. So many stuff was just like, just stop these people from jacking off. Also why we have Kellogg's, Cram crackers. Eat this damn cereal instead of freaking Jack Cameron over there.

God damn it. Someone right now is pitching Daily's I guys to kids to stop them, right? Like to high schoolers. Yeah. Just bad pitch people off of the show. They can't keep their hands off themselves. Yep. Yeah.

I blame you guys' sexual tension, honestly. I do too. Can't cut it. So does my wife. I said, look, it is what it is, baby. We got to eat. And so do I. Graham crackers.

People like what they look, you know. Check out also our videos on our YouTube channel where we start doing physical challenges that require me to go into the backyard with my ass up in the air. For science. For science. For science.

Yeah, for science. See if these damn crows will leave me alone for once. Oh! We have an ice cream cone filled with bird seed in your ass. Maybe that's- Dang, Corvids are a menace. You're putting in the work though. Thank you for your service, man.

Yeah. Yeah. You don't have to throw it back like that. You were getting the bird seed everywhere. I, so like historically, this has been a thing that has like come and gone. There's flag pole sitting is what I mentioned last time. And also phone booth stuffing are two historical trends that totally died out. They were apparently like huge briefly flagpole sitting in the 20s and 30s,

phone booth stuffing in the like 50s and early 60s. And then people discovered having sex with each other in the 60ies and we're like, Oh, this is fucking way better. That's what they were trying to get at the whole time. Wait, so hell might just be a construct to keep me in line. Huh? I guess I'm down for some sex. The phone booth stuff in Wikipedia page has an interesting run down. They're like, this was once referred to as one of the all-time great fads by the Bridgeport Post.

Oh, good. One of the all-time great fads. But was considered passe by 1959. And then they say it was akin in meteoric rise and fall to the earlier fads of flagpole sitting goldfish swallowing, panty raids, what the fuck? And to the later fad of streaking. Okay. What is a, is a panty raid is just somebody stealing someone's underwear and being like, isn't it the thing from, yeah, like revenge of the nerds where you

just go in and steal people's underwear. Wow, okay, great, cool. I did not know streaking was in this category though. I assume streaking has been a thing since forever, but apparently it's- Yeah, since like right before clothing. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Apparently it's, I mean, there have been,

like there were like religious sex called neo-Adamian or something, because they're like, we're like Adam. Yeah, yeah. Neo-Adamantium, Adamites. They call themselves neo-Adamites. And they were like, we're actually naked right now because of God. So that's why. We're actually naked right now because God, so that's why. Wow. That's a way to tag base. Yeah. You know, like, oh, that is for everybody. Yeah.

Or actually that's why I'm hanging right now. That's right. But like the idea of like a solitary person, just like interrupting a public event by running through naked, uh, started in Carlton college, uh, shout out to my uncle, John, who used to be a Dean there in 1973. Like the first mention that anybody can find is like the local Carlton newspaper being like, these kids are out of control with their. Rise of class spirit, low grades, streaking destruction,

drinking, and the popularity of rock dances. Wait, wait, wait, rock dances. Like rock, like dancing, music, dance. Yeah. Go into a dance, but playing rock music instead of like a sock hop. Haven't forfeit. But I don't know. It's that's the one like there may be a hope for one of these.

If you can like get one of these mundane fads to really take off. And like, if it has that classic appeal of streaking, you could be a legend. You could create something that's permanent. Yeah. There's still streakers to this day. There's still streakers for sure. Like this happens, like it's still honored in the UK and like New Zealand, Australia. I feel like I still see them going hard on the streaking and I'm like, yeah, I wonder if there's

like a streaking because there is a competition for everything. Right. So I wonder if there's like a international streaker league, you know, I have to disrupt the mo the like biggest public event with the most glorious streak. I'm like, stay uncaught for the longest. Yeah. I guess with the, I feel like those would be like the criteria. I'm going to say there's a real opportunity for the current Catholic

Pope to just go out like the legend. You know what I mean? Like if he, if he just like pulls a streak and the bishops are chasing, but he keeps his hat on. He's got to have the hat. Yeah. Yeah. He's still got to get the hat and the shoes. Yeah, for sure.

He, he finally puts on the old Pope's like, did you ever see the old Pope's shoes like that this new Pope is like the one who's like, I want to be just like the beggars except with like much nicer shirt, but, uh, you know, I don't want all the fancy stuff. The Pope before, the one who was like a Nazi youth was so fancy. Like some of the shoes that he wore were like so crazy. Are these these red shoes? Yes, the red shoes.

These are red bottoms. These are bloody shoes. Yeah, you get the red bottoms. Yeah. Okay, Cardi. That's what she's talking bottoms. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cardi. That's what she's talking about. Yeah. She's severely Catholic apparently. Yeah. They thought it was lubricant. I'm not giving it up to Papa.

And we're back. We're back.

And yeah, he might, he used to be narc sucker nerd, I think on this show, but now he's a Manasphere soccer nerd. Is like his new energy. He's different. He's got, you know, he's got his, uh, he's got his lats, you know, he's been doing some lifts. So he's got, he's got the broccoli hair. He's got an amulet.

So you know, he went through an amulet, you know, he went on that proper side, $900,000 watch. But, uh, so there's this clip that's going viral of Mark commemorating his wife's 40th birthday by doing something that I feel like I'm the Terminator at the end of T2 being lowered into the pit because I'm saying to Gen Z, I now know why you use the word cringe. I now understand. And then give the thumbs up.

Yeah. Giving the thumbs down as I'm lowered into the fiery pit. Yeah. It's, it's cringe. It is a cringe. Actually you should be doing this if you're doing. Oh yeah. Big ups.

Wait, so wait, wait, wait. Okay. Birthday. You seen this? I see this. I try not to hear about this. You see, I try not to keep up too much with our buddy, Mark. I what?

Yeah, dude, he's gonna like Ben's problem. He's gonna like fucking destroy the world, dude. You should probably keep your eye on this guy. But anyway, this is his the caption for this video that he posted. Your wife only turns 41 shout out to Benson Boone for the jumpsuit and new single and the way we go to this guy going, look at this, look at the shame before we start this video. This setup is my goodness to be an oligarch.

But here we go. This is him performing for a captive audience. Nothing underneath. Wow. He jumped. Oh yeah, dude. Get it in Mark. Wow. Hell yeah. Yeah. So that is horrifying to my core. This whole of it.

Also first, this thing that I was really clocking his footwear. Thank you. I think my man is wearing black air force ones. He is wearing the same shoes. So priests and referees are the only people that wear those shoes. Exactly. Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah.

Or like, or the football coach at your junior high who had to retire, but he still needs some more hours before he can go on retirement. So they like give them a science class to teach and then he's got to run the clock and those non slips. Exactly. Exactly. Like Benson Boone did it. So this is just recreating like a viral moment from the Grammys this year. to teach and then he's got to run the clock in those non slips exactly exactly like benson boone

did it so this is just recreating like a viral moment from the grammys this year where ben zaboon had a tuxedo on and then like had this outfit on underneath and then did a flip off of a yeah did multiple back flips yeah this is this is how i learned who b Boone was, by the way, this clip. So great marketing for him. Also, we have to say it, again, 2025, no notes. If you want to have a breakaway outfit though, you get a bigger advantage when you break it away yourself. Yeah. But in true oligarch fashion, you're like, I don't even do the labor of tearing off my own fake tuxedo.

Come on now, Wade's slaves. Hook it up. Benson Boone did it with women pulling the two sides off of him. I think Nikki Cloyzer might have been one of them. It looked cool when he did it with Mark Zuckerberg. It looked awkward the first time he had been undressed by somebody else since he's like, look, I'm so sorry that we got rid of our whole moderation team, but I've got a better offer for you.

Would you like to peel off half of my tuxedo jacket at my wife's 40th birthday? I like to do the same pay. That's the thing though. It's like recreating a moment, right? That existed on its own and then trying to save. Also me. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Well, I think it shows sort of how a billionaire even looks at that kind of thing where it's like, oh, okay, to do the thing that everyone was so into, I just have to wear a blue jumpsuit and jump off a thing. And that's it. Well, and also he had to sing, which notably you can't really find a version of this where with the original audio. Yeah, it's like trying to find a shirtless.

He is fucking wailing into that microphone. Oh wow. And I'm sure the actual audio in the room was just like, aargh. Like a post steroids, shirtless a rod pick. You're not going to find it. You're not going to find it. Too many stakeholders keep that.

I love those two. All the fucking comments are either like it's a mixture of like, oh, my God, I love it or like, fuck you asshole. Or other ones being like, damn, you really got the like the filters on heavy for these comments. One, the first one that I'm seeing is, hey, Zuck, why are you dick riding Trump and his administration as well as Elon? Another one. You have no talent and she knows you cheated on her. We all do. Whoa, they were tolerable when you were quiet. Maga and broccoli hair got you tripping. Maga and broccoli hair got you tripping. Oof.

Well, also happy birthday to keep it positive. You know what I mean? For a second we lost, the reason for the season was his wife. And now we're all talking about his fuckery and his, you know, just terrible outfits and lack of talent. His wife. So who was shown in the video for a split second. Yeah. For like two months over the amount of time that for a split second. Yeah. For like,

the amount of time that he was. Yeah. Yeah. That would be funny if you stayed on it longer, you realize she's weeping at that part. Actually, let me bring that part up again, because it does feel like completely out of context. You could be like, it almost feels like someone told her another plane hit the second tower.

Yeah. Yeah. Play it back. She's like, it almost feels like someone told her another plane hit the second tower. Yeah, yeah. Play it back. She's like, what happened? Well, I'm wailing. Oh, no. Scream of losing a loved one. I actually now I want to see this. This is fucking evil.

But you guys, I think we're all we're all pretty punchy right now at the end of history. So I kind of want to see this video with audio of like 9 11 reports from, you know, Hey, look, yeah. I mean, all anybody needs to do is just like put the actual audio over it or just like recreate what the actual audio actually sounds like with the audio over her being like, no, Oh my gosh. There's this another one, but jumpsuits are such a vibe. I mean, jumpsuits are a vibe.

Like, I don't know. I like it, but I feel like an affable doofus doing something impressive for their wife that's embarrassing is, uh, I, I usually like it affable doofus doing something impressive for their wife that's embarrassing is I usually like it when the person is not a fucking oligarch who's in the process of just ruining countless lives. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Like goofy and daring is great. And obviously, no offense to us, but we've succeeded doing that kind of stuff. Right. Goofy and endearing. I think we did well. Don't know what you're talking about.

I'm a stud. But go ahead. I'm the coolest motherfucker my mom ever met. She told me last night that she was letting me pat on my back so I could fall asleep because I was crying so bad. What? Go on. What are you saying? Because I'll call it right now, bro, if you don't believe me. I believe you. I believe you. I'm the cool. All you don't believe me. I believe you. I believe you. I'm the. All right.

So all right. I'm sorry. I know. No, no. The alphabet. Yeah. Apple will goofy thing, though, to really counts on you having a certain amount of goodwill with people that they go. Sure. Oh, great. Right. When you're starting at negative three trillion on some shit, the first thing you like, get this shit out. My final give a fuck how many backflips you tried. The only way this would have people The first thing you'd be like, get this shit out my funnel.

Give a fuck how many backflips you tried. The only way this would have, people would have been sharing it is like, if he did it and like knocked himself out cause he did a backflip landed directly on his back. Oh my God. Landed on the crown of his head. You guys should start a fad.

Since clearly he's gonna, he's gonna try to follow or emulate stuff that appears to make him seem cool. Sex symbols do. Right. Right. Right.

Right. So what's, what's like the, what's the more dangerous version of dropping shit on your foot and how did you convince him? Dude, the hashtag Benson Boone TBI backflip challenge, dude, you know what I mean? Shout out to traumatic brain injuries. They're so in, dude. Just hop on. TBI is soip challenge, dude. You know what I mean? Shout out to traumatic brain injuries. They're so in, dude. Just hop on, Mark. Hop on.

I guys tune into ridiculous history where you can, you can find those guys classing up the show. Oh yeah. Like once every four years, when was the last time we were on?

Four years ago, three years ago. Gosh. Yeah. Yeah. It's been too long, man. Too long, too long. LinkedIn was running for re-election. We got some history. I've got to be offloading historical flexes on this podcast

because it's been so long. We've got a surplus over here. Yeah. All right, wonderful having you. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying though? Yes, I am super, you guys know, I've been on the road a lot recently. I got super into Uzbek drill rap and I'm not sure why. Okay.

I know it sounds like I'm just freestyling three different words and agglomerating them. I didn't know that. I didn't know you were pulling from real life when you referenced Uzbek drill rap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, uh, oh, no, I am all sharing the screen, but, uh, just for, just for a quick, uh, spoiler, if I may, I don't know if we can get away with this. Uh, can I share? Oh, here you want me to play this? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the the

the the the I like that. But that wasn't drill. That wasn't drill. No, I mean, technically, if I'm going to get pedantic about the beat. Yeah. No, you're right. You're right. You're right. But this shit, let's make it about your opinions on music.
