Starting point is 00:04:25 Vice President Biden for that. Anyways. Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought, that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II. When they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Earn Malley in an incident that caused a media firestorm and even
Starting point is 00:05:00 a criminal trial. The Earn Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies in the poetry in between on hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana Schwartz. Every episode, hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history, from forged artworks to the original fake news, to try and answer why we believe.

After I pulled out of the French Open, I flew ranked as number one in the world in women's singles.
Starting point is 00:07:26 A four-time Grand Slam tennis champion, Naomi Osaka. We would be constantly on the tennis court, and I would watch other kids go to summer vacation. And I would always think, dang, like, I kind of want to be someone else. What was the feeling like when you won your first Grand Slam at the U.S. Open? When I was growing up, I had dreams of playing Serena. my first grand slam final. It felt like a dream came true. I was just reading comments of people saying that I didn't deserve to win.

Where we go one, we go all. Exactly. Exactly. I didn't know you were a public. announcing where you were so I was keeping it I will afterwards I say after I say after because I don't want people I don't want people just going there while I'm there to try and catch a glimpse of me and my family and that would happen man oh that would happen it's so annoying when our fans are just waiting for us somewhere we're about to land you know her majesty hates whenever we go out somewhere and I go Zite gang just someone who's working at a place and I go what I go never mind never mind never Hey, I saw that look you gave me. Is that gang, my friend? Huh?
Starting point is 00:09:20 No. Huh? Sure, man. Yeah. I have the opposite, like where I get way too excited if somebody recognizes me in front of my wife. She's like, God, you haven't stopped smiling for like three hours. Like, I know it's so annoying, right? I think it's as exciting for me as it probably is for a list.
Starting point is 00:09:43 to see us in public because I'm like, oh my God, you guys. They're like, oh my God, you exist. I'm like, oh, my God, you guys exist. You do too? In physical space. Holy shit. Well, we're thrilled to have you back, Miles. There's so much to catch you up on.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I know. I wish something good happens. Like when you go out of town and some real shit goes down. We just get a bunch of more police state bullshit. Did you hear Cindy Sweeney might be a registered Republican, dude? Oh, no. Oh, my God. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Why? So we're all pretty broken up about that. We'll talk about that more on tomorrow's episode. Okay, all right. In depth. Yeah, let me know about that. Oh. But first, Miles, we do like to, on these weekend trending episodes.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, normal episodes, we tell you, ask the guests what's something they think is overrated, underrated. This one, we like to do it a little different and ask each other what's something we think is overrated, underrated. Miles, is there something that you think is overrated, oh. Overrated? Overrated? We're going over? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Or under whichever one you want. I'll just, I'll start off with this. Naming your kid fucking Goliath. Okay? Oh. I was at Tivoli Park, okay? The theme park in Copenhagen where, you know, Walt Disney stole the idea for like the rides and was like, oh shit, I could do this. But maybe a little more racist.
Starting point is 00:11:05 And there was this American dude kept calling for his son, Goliath. And I thought it was a, I didn't know. I just heard a guy going, Goliath. Goliath. And I was like, what the fuck am I hearing behind me? And already, I was already like, I didn't want to hear an American yelling in public. So I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Turn around.
Starting point is 00:11:24 This guy's like little, little four-year-old kid named Goliath. The least Goliath-looking motherfucker I've ever seen, okay? Wow. And this dad clearly had the vibe of like, a, that's my son, Goliath. Like, you could tell he probably whatever, whatever. deal he made with his poor partner to be like, I'm naming this one, Goliath. I get the first one. I called Dibs.
Starting point is 00:11:48 He's called Goliath. The pregnancy test comes in. They're like, Dibs. Dibs. Got it, got it, got it. Pregnancy. Yeah. Gender reveal. It's just Goliath just comes out and written on paper everywhere. He will stride the world
Starting point is 00:12:03 like a Goliath. I just felt weird because it clear, I mean, look, I don't know if that's a family name. I know it from the Bible as a dude who took a pretty big L for thinking he was Yeah, for thinking he was tough shit just being big and some other dudes just came around and was kind of outsmarted you and
Starting point is 00:12:20 blinded, just smacked you with a rock. I'd be fucked up if that's how this kid's, this kid is faded to get hit with a stone by an even smaller kid. Yeah, right? Exactly. I'm like, I don't know if you want his name to determine what his life's going to be because it sounds like he's going to be a bully
Starting point is 00:12:36 who just takes the historic L. And I don't know if that's what you want for your kid. like it has bringing it back we're bringing it back to reference to the bird eating spider okay no not this guy sorry and like also even if you're into the Bible like you're gonna name him after the bad
Starting point is 00:12:54 guys in the Bible like punches pilot get over here now it's just a really weird look I had more questions for Madison and I were like the fuck this guy's kids is this guy this guy rules yeah that's a dog's name you know what I mean so I don't know just don't name your
Starting point is 00:13:11 kids after like like antagonists that end up fucking losing in the story in the grand scheme of things just a weird look it's a weird look darts vader yeah d'art smeter get over aniken get over i mean you know there's motherfuckers name aniken um and that's also judis i wonder how popular name judas is because jude is is but who names her kid judas judas would be judas would be a tough one that would be a fucking wild one yeah exactly benedict arnold yeah don't get over here Marquis de Saad now Wait what I mean
Starting point is 00:13:45 Marquita Saab For a freak Marquis Yeah that's a good name But yeah anyway Don't you name your kid That's like name your kid Thanos or whatever
Starting point is 00:13:54 It's not gonna That's not gonna make your kid A tough guy Okay It's a tough one because you know Judas you could go shorten to Jude You know A lot of these names you could shorten
Starting point is 00:14:05 But Goliath I'm trying to think of like Ath Why liar What are you Mike Tyson singing as like F, F, F, F, F, F, F, F. No, it's a tough one to shorten, I'm just saying. Golly.
Starting point is 00:14:19 No, that's like, I feel like you're about to say a golly wog or some racist shit like that. So, golly lieth? You could probably go Ali in the middle. Yeah. Why do that? Just do the O-L-I. That's all I got. That's all I got for this poor young man.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Just name the kid, whatever, man. That's not, it's not an enhancement in that way. It just causes more. For someone like me, I just have all more questions. I'm now, I'm now like gaming out what this kid's life's going to be. If it was just like, hey, Benjamin, I'd be like, yeah, whatever. I'd put it in the same family of names as Maverick Axel. And you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:59 Like those names that are like aggressively cool. Like, yeah, yeah. Remington. That people name their kids after guns and shit. They're just like naming their kids like their movie protagonists. Yeah, exactly. Maximus. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Oh, poor guy. I wonder if that guy even knows. Does he even know the Bible? Or he's just like, man, it's a sick-ass roller coaster at six-flats. Yeah. No. Okay, sure. I know somebody named Achilles, but that's unusual. But that is, again, you're just putting your kid in a position to get shot in the heel.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Yeah, right. Even like there was Achilles Smith, the quarterback, but that was Achilles. You know what I mean? Achilles. They didn't go full Achilles. That's just, yeah, whatever. All right. I got two overrated.
Starting point is 00:15:42 One is untost pasta. If you ever order pasta and they put the sauce on only one small part of the pasta. Oh, just ladle it on top. And then all the other pasta just like sticks together. Fuck that. That seems to be the default when you order pasta from a restaurant that's like, you know, not a fine dining restaurant. Yeah, that's like a quick get the plates out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yeah. They just put a doll up on top of a thing of like dry ass spaghetti. and anybody knows just toss that shit just like all you need to do is put it do what you already did and then just shake that shit like you tossing a cell
Starting point is 00:16:20 oh you'd rather just put in a big fucking container like yeah yeah just give it a couple shakes I don't know I bet I could request that but I never remember too now look I know that I was just in friggin Denmark but if I must I should say that
Starting point is 00:16:36 in Italy the thing you want to do is once your pasta cooks you save a little bit of the pasta water, the starchy water. Then you introduce your sauce to your noodles with a little bit of the starchy water and let that reduce a bit so you can really get the flavor diffused to the pasta. I missed you so much.
Starting point is 00:16:53 This isn't even making me angry. This is just making me happy you're back. So I got to do it. Yeah, but let the pasta do its job. The job is not to sit there dry and not stick to other pasta. It's supposed to be coated with sauce. That's what that's his job. And then my other overrated,
Starting point is 00:17:09 I got to say, you know, every year, I come back to the shore, go down the boards, and I get a, I get a glimpse via the t-shirts of like, what's popping with the kids. Oh, yeah, the phrase these. The phrase T's, um, Italian Bramrot is here. It has, it has broken into the Jersey shore. Bombardino Concordillo. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's just like random ones. Yeah, it's got that one. Chimpanzee Bananini. Yes. I didn't see chimpanzee bannanini, which would be better than the other one that you said, which doesn't really the dum-thum-tum-tum-tum-sah-hur.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah, yeah, that one doesn't really like scan when it's written out. Yeah. But maybe Chimpanzee Bananini was sold out. I'm not, I'm unsure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe it like makes too much sense that people are like, oh, that's cute
Starting point is 00:17:59 instead of it being like, what the fuck is that? Which is the intention. The boo-boo is everywhere. Yeah. I will say, uh, Trump's popularity is what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:18:12 is overrated currently he is struggling on the boardwalk With the phrase teas The phrase teas are just I didn't see anything new Like last year it was all Trump You know with the election coming up
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yeah yeah yeah Lots of Trump shit It just seems like it's like Leftover inventory at this point Like you know Can't kill me shit His face like photoshopped On the 50 cent
Starting point is 00:18:34 On the you know Get Richard by trying album Yeah One like I'm voting for a felon the only new one that I saw and maybe this was here last year because it does like the references are somewhat outdated but it's a trump errors tour instead of eras tour and trump in place of taylor swift and then like the different errors are like i don't know like one of the juliani one of them is the uh lawyer from his from the like stop the steel shit remember the
Starting point is 00:19:09 um oh uh sydney pow yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah other ones it was unclear like it would have been a perfect option these were like it's like for libs to make fun of trump i think those are his errors but it was it was like poorly executed yeah yeah it was like trump errors they can't be i'm sure i'm sure like a t-shirt shop that relies on imported cheap t-shirts and also like heat transfer graphics that i'm almost positive or not being made in the United States. Yeah. I don't think Taylor Swift signed off on this one.
Starting point is 00:19:44 You hate to see it. You do hate to see it. I will say one new feature, there is a Zoltar machine, like from Big, but with a Trump likeness. Oh. Where he, like, tells all. And I did, uh, with the voice and shit. With the voice, with a bad impression.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Uh, I did, I did test it out because I had to. Oh my God. Jack. journalism. Um, so I got my fortune told by Trump. And your fortune, Trump says, you're about to realize just how many friends you really have like a rally full of supporters, all cheering you on. People are drawn to your confidence and leadership. Remember, your network is your greatest strength. And with friends like these, you can achieve anything. So they've like removed any of the insecurity. And he just gives you vaguely positive advice. Yeah, yeah. He also gives you your lucky
Starting point is 00:20:38 numbers for some reason I mean you got to it's got to be a real your fortune. Trump says yeah they just like put a Trump mask on a Zoltar machine but then he just gives you positive advice that have vague references to things having to do with Trump
Starting point is 00:20:53 but looks he looks like absolute shit I don't know if you can see yeah it looks like a it looks like a teenager like a really unhealthy teenager yeah he looks like a Hitler you like a mega Hitler I was the only person I saw
Starting point is 00:21:12 using that machine I looked around many times to make sure as many people were in a trench coat and shit fucking glasses like you're buying a fucking old porno tape in the 90s for it to become big and it didn't do that so yet another broken promise from this asshole you know did you put it under your pillow
Starting point is 00:21:30 fuck you know you got to do that they leave that out your fucking pillow or else it won't come true Yeah, Miles. What's something you think's underrated? Man, okay, so coming from a place with socialized health care, you know, like, you know, we have a different, we sort of vibrate at a fucked up frequency in the United States, you know, when you're out there in the streets walking around. I think being whimsical is really underrated, embracing the whimsy of life, the just and also just the small pleasures because of the fact that we are so stretched thin. having to survive, having to toil, wondering what happens if I get hurt in any capacity.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Do I have the money to pay for such things? We lose something when we walk around. We're fucking stressed. And people say this. I think this is nothing new to people who travel and just generally, this is just a very unique thing. It's like, we got this fucking tension we have. In Denmark, Hermesci and I just saw, it was like a summer day. We saw a guy like in a business suit going from like,
Starting point is 00:22:38 I think maybe one meeting to another, just enjoying the fuck out of an ice cream sandwich. Like, fucking loving this thing. He was like, it was almost like he was like, yippee, like as he was eating it. And we both were so struck by it. I'm like, look at this. Like, my energy was like, look at this motherfucker enjoying the ice cream sandwich and shit. You should have tightened his ass up, man. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:23:01 You should have treated him like that kid who walked out of anger management. I almost said, hey, bro, let me think you fucking whimsy, bro. Oh, hold on, I got something for you. Whimsical. You're a whimsical motherfucker, aren't you? And then I had to realize how that's been taken from us with capitalism in the United States. Like, we can't fucking go, like, to have a, like a picnic just on a whim, you know? Do shit, enjoy it. I mean, like, we can when we're not working these other things. But, like, there's just all this stress that we have that I feel like prevents us from these, like, very small pleasures that life offers. Like, merely having an
Starting point is 00:23:35 ice cream sandwich while you're working and love. Well, in business. Yeah. Business attire. And I was just like, seeing that really struck me as sort of like being like, man, it really, because like when I think of that too, it was like, man, if I did that, I might have to kick my own ass. But then I'm like, then I have to examine that. You got to get tougher, man.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah. And then I'm like, why am I? Fuck do you think you are? Why am I getting hostile towards this version of me that's enjoying something really simple and like being happy? And more so than I just think like, it's important that we. we have those moments just generally. Like they're very life. They're like small,
Starting point is 00:24:12 but they actually can bring a lot of pleasure. And so my, my version of that was just drinking so much soda. He's a bunch of nice sodas. Dude, they have one soda. I posted on my stories. This shit hits like fucking McDonald's Sprite.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Wow. I fucking can. Okay. And I was like, is it a lemon lime beverage? Yeah. It's like a Sprite, a Jace.
Starting point is 00:24:37 like just big ass bubbles real carbonace I was like the Britney Brosky sort of meme I went mm and then I went and her majesty was like what what's going on I the way I went from what's going on it seems like there's a war being waged inside your mouth she was with me when I bought this I go I go oh my god and she's like this shit hit like McDonald's Sprite she's like
Starting point is 00:25:00 what and I'm like is that good she turned her head again she looked back I fucking down the whole can And I was like, I'm getting another one. She's like, oh, you're 40 years old. You should not be just smanging back-to-back cans of soda. And I'm like, I'm on a break. I'm on a break. And also, I don't drink soda.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I don't drink that much soda like, you know, at home. I'm mostly drinking water and shit. So anyway, small pleasures, get into it, be whimsical. Go for a fucking bike ride. Go fucking play your recorder in a field. I don't know. Just do something. All of this is assuming that you are abroad.
Starting point is 00:25:33 If you're back home, you're in the fucking octagon. keep your head on a swivel out there because we're all like NFL players with no guaranteed money. You know, one injury and we're out the league. It's out. And I think that's what's like important. I think also just to remind ourselves like that's what we should be
Starting point is 00:25:49 striving for. Like we should be pursuing policies that allow us to go in our day to day lives. Yes. To not have to fucking have our fist balled up because we're worried about just the fucking all the existential threats that exist around us. Not to say that they don't exist in other places. but like, God, we are, we, we have had so much robbed from us due to inequality.
Starting point is 00:26:12 It's really, it, I just, God, golly, but hey, golly, reminds you. I know how it is. I know how you guys do. I said, hey, get off. When I say, get off the boards, you get off the boards. Let's go Biden, let's say. My underrated is how little we know about nature, how few of the animals that are out there are known.
Starting point is 00:26:36 um most most animals most insects have not been discovered i was something i didn't realize there there's this article somebody not not like a professional scientist out there looking to discover a new species just somebody was out in a cloud forest on like i don't know zip line or doing something up there yeah and they were like damn that tree branch is moving and it appears to have legs we know of stick bugs when a little twig that is a whole ass tree branch
Starting point is 00:27:12 the size of a human adult forearm was this posted like last week or the week before that was like the heaviest bug or whatever they took a picture and it is a new species of stick bug that is the heaviest insect in Australia Australia is the place with that spider that I already referenced
Starting point is 00:27:32 the Goliath bird-eating spider that eats birds which is heavier than that but and it was just something that someone discovered because they took a picture of something that was weird there's all sorts of like
Starting point is 00:27:47 I don't know like that's a whole genre of shit that shows up in my social media feed of like what animal is this on like Reddit or social media where like things just look like like there's like an alien symbiot
Starting point is 00:28:01 like right right it's like what is this puddle of black oil that is like oozing around the ground but then appears to be sentient and like move away when i try and poke it with a stick uh it talks like natasha leone yeah i always assume that somewhere down in the comments like some scientist is coming in and being like actually that's not weird that's just you know common sentient oil flick um move on but the national geographic article about the colossal stick bug, I don't know if that's what they're calling it, but this new species notes that while nearly
Starting point is 00:28:39 2 million insect species have been identified, as many as 30 million remain unidentified. So, hell, yeah. So many. Most of them. Most of these insects are just like unknown. The world is just full of these like fucking mysteries that I just assumed
Starting point is 00:28:59 yeah, I talk about this. a lot. Like, I just came out of my, you know, education thinking, like, well, science knows everything. Yeah, we've seen it all. We figured it. We figured it all out. And like, it's, there's nothing that interesting. It's like 91% of the species, uh, ocean species have yet to be classified. More than 80% of the ocean is like unmapped, unobserved, unexplored. Um, and then, yeah, like, the ocean, all we have is like what they find when they drop a hook in the water and like something bites it. yeah or like a camera that's deep enough to just see like maybe the 20 meters in front of it and then they're like what the fuck was that yeah a horror movie just like there's so many videos
Starting point is 00:29:42 you see that with deep sea exploration we're like yeah the fuck is that yo no clue no clue why are all these scientists saying yo and punching each other they're running around there submersible um all right that's my underrated let's take a quick break we'll uh ease miles back into the news We'll be right back. In 1920, a magazine article announced something incredible. Two young girls had photographed real fairies. But even more extraordinary than the magazine article's claim was the identity of the man who wrote the article,
Starting point is 00:30:24 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who wrote Sherlock Holmes. Yes, the man who invented. literature's most brilliant detective was fooled by two girls into thinking fairies were real. How did they do it?

Hey, everyone, it's Jay Shetty, and on today's episode of On Purpose, I'm joined by four-time Grand Slam champion, Naomi Osaka.
Starting point is 00:32:54 What I was dealing with at the time, feeling ashamed, going against everything an athlete stood for. After I pulled out of the French Open, I flew. Ranked as number one in the world in women's singles. A four-time Grand Slam tennis champion, Naomi Osaka. We would be constantly on the tennis court, and I would watch other kids go to summer vacation.
Starting point is 00:33:17 And I would always think, dang, like, I kind of want to be someone else. What was the feeling like when you won your first grand slam at the U.S. Open? When I was growing up, I had dreams of playing Serena in my first grand slam final. It felt like a dream came true. I was just reading comments of people saying that I didn't deserve to win.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. You ever just get on a set of swings, spinning around and say, we? Hell no I believe you get your ass kicked for doing something like that I knew you would pick the right movie reference
Starting point is 00:34:05 to answer that Of course you get your ass kick for doing something You should get your ass kicked doing something like that Man, you're on a fucking sweet You better be seven years old Yeah that's right You better be under seven or over 70 Yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:34:20 Doesn't work so well in your 40s No All right JD Vant So this was something that happened while you were out. They were talking about this for a while, but J.D. Vance, Pam Bondi, Cash Patel were having a big meeting where they were going to figure out
Starting point is 00:34:37 how to respond to the Epstein scandal. At first, it was going to happen at J.D. Vance's home. The media was like, okay, like, this is a big deal. He was like, I don't want a bunch of cameras outside of my house. I'm just living a normal life, preparing food
Starting point is 00:34:53 to the soundtrack of the first Noel. and boy bands last week we covered the leak of his of his Spotify playlist Was that for real? I saw that
Starting point is 00:35:08 that would seem like the okay hell yeah yeah he has two two playlists were leaked two of his Spotify playlist were leaked and all the other ones from this source
Starting point is 00:35:19 or not all of them but many of them have been confirmed one was called like gold on the ceiling in reference to I think it was just like generated by being like like Spotify, make me a playlist for people who like that Black Key song. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:32 But his making dinner mix was like, you know, his genuine mixing. You could tell because the first song was the first Noel. And then it was just a bunch of boy band shit. But anyways, perhaps he got a little scared because people found out about a secret dinner making thing. So he moved the dinner to the White House. We don't know, like we didn't, the media was not there for the meeting, but he did. have an appearance on Fox News over the weekend. And his, the strategy seems to be the same strategy they had before,
Starting point is 00:36:07 which is like blaming Joe Biden somehow for doing the thing that they're doing now. So like, he just like got mad at the Biden administration for doing absolutely nothing while Trump has, quote, demanded full transparency, but then they're not doing the full transparency. Yeah. I mean, he tried. You know, he really, he really said it's all it's all these left-wing people. Here's a clip of him just saying the name that you're not supposed to talk about, J.D., didn't you follow the orders? We're pretending it doesn't happen anymore. I have to say, Maria, I laugh at the Democrats who are now all of a sudden so interested in the Epstein files. For four years, Joe Biden and the Democrats did absolutely nothing about this story. We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of connections with
Starting point is 00:36:56 left-wing politicians and left-wing billionaires. And now President Trump has demanded full transparency from this. And yet somehow the Democrats are attacking him and not the Biden administration, which did nothing for four years. What a fucking flimsy argument. So, okay, so being connected to Jeffrey Epstein is bad, objectively. Right. Is that what we're saying? Because, is that.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Like, we all do know that Trump is on the list. And that's why you're holding it back. But every, so across. the board anyone who's connected is bad yeah i don't know just to just to renew he was arrested in 2019 which would have been like kind of when he was arrested that would have been a good time to start looking no no no 2019 so this is this is actually confusing to a lot of people 2019 Trump was actually the president i don't think so doesn't sound right to me that was biden so he had a couple years to do it already then correct Biden didn't do shit and there are uh not left wing politicians
Starting point is 00:37:56 but centrist Democrat politicians connected to the guy so make sense to me for the same reason that Biden can you know couldn't do anything was like what am I supposed to do man they won't let me
Starting point is 00:38:08 with most things that he was trying to do as president didn't did not reveal anything but you and your whole administration's whole running whole thing was we're gonna fucking let let you see everything
Starting point is 00:38:26 when we get an office office. Then you saw everything. Then you saw that Donald Trump was on the list. And you were, you all started cartoonishly loosening your collar all at the same time. Yep. And now you're being like, they did the thing before that we're doing now. So we're, we're, it's so, it's so confusing. I don't know what's bad anymore. So it's bad to know Jeffrey Epsey. Is it bad to be in the documents but some people that are in there aren't bad so then we have to be okay but if you're if you're a democrat or on center left then it's bad that everyone on their right look you they don't know how to do a cover up because they have a senile old man at the helm of this whole
Starting point is 00:39:12 thing who doesn't know how to stop talking in any way this guy was doing a fucking i saw that fucking weird roof walk and talk he did last week holy shit and then did he actually piss himself Did you see that picture where it looked like he was full Liam Neeson coming out of a pub? I did not see that picture. Yeah, it could be, could be fake. It could be just a wishful moment on my end. No, I mean, like it looked like drunk Liam Neeson who pissed himself. Oh, Liam Neeson coming out of the pub.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, this is, there seems to be so many issues with trying to make this thing go away. This is the thing with J.D. Vanceau. I know he's stupid, but also at the same time, are you trying to keep the story alive? Like, why do a secret meeting with everybody except the president? where you have the chief of staff, Susie Wiles, the deputy AG, Pam Bondi, Cash Patel to talk about other things, but the Epstein files, or you also be like, look, we got to figure out how we're going to fucking do this shit because this guy doesn't know what he's doing, or is it,
Starting point is 00:40:07 how do we play this to get the, I mean, like, you know, if I could be president, you know what I mean? Right. It would be a little bit a little bit chiller, you know what I mean? Yeah. That could be something too, because I've always thought, of all the scandals, this has been the thing that has made Trump most vulnerable. And you know, like while there are many people who fawn after Donald Trump, there are plenty of fucking maniacs with money who are pursuing that kind of power and influence who would love nothing more than for this guy to be out of the way. You know people are looking at this like, yo, I could do this shit way better than this fucking freaky old dude.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Yeah. And like a lot of the money that went to him and like backed him and a lot of the power that went to him and backed him was like all based on him doing things from a policy perspective. the JD Vance would continue to do were he in power and I'm sure you know he was the pick of the tech billionaire class that like came in and like You want our money?
Starting point is 00:41:00 He's number two. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Could be you know your policy and your talking points have worked when people are like
Starting point is 00:41:11 did he try to fuck that up? Yeah. Like it's like an NBA highlight where they're like, yo look, you can tell that this guy's gambling on the game because he's like a free throw like that shot it in the wrong direction he heaved it into the stance
Starting point is 00:41:26 what the fuck was that it was a layup to be clear though it should we do now know that Trump's name appears on the list yeah that list was available to the Biden administration yeah like sitting on that shit as like Trump is getting more more powerful and it becomes increasingly likely that he's going to defeat you is so just such a brain fogged fuck up that like like it's such how do you how do you not use that I think you don't use it because you're on the same team essentially sure that's why you know
Starting point is 00:42:03 like to do that would disrupt the status quo at every level it means power players you know if if all things are true or you know what people's suspicions are that would have had ramifications for both Democrats and Republicans and it just behooves them more to be like whatever, guys, like, yes, we got to stay in power, okay? Yeah, we got to keep this class war going. Right. And, you know, let's be real. Like, we're on the same side if we're talking about fucking overworking people.
Starting point is 00:42:28 So let's just keep it moving. You know, I think that's, again, but that won't be the part that anyone talks about, especially not the GOP, because they're just trying to make it be like, well, they thought it was so bad. Why didn't they do anything about it? Exactly. It can't be that bad. And now they say it's bad.
Starting point is 00:42:42 All right. The art of pointing out the other side's hypocrisy, which literally nobody. Nobody has thought was actually a valid point for maybe 50 years. All right, we are coming to the end of an era. AOL is ending dial-up internet service. That was somehow still a thing. This is going to piss off thousands of customers who died in 2005 and we're still being billed 20 years later.
Starting point is 00:43:13 They've announced that they will be scrapping their dial-up internet service on September 30th. Oh, how do you get a dial-up modem in the year of our Lord 2025? Do you have to have like an old like IMac where the shit was built in and you just put the little phone line inside? Yeah, they do they do acknowledge. They do acknowledge that the service
Starting point is 00:43:34 and the associated software, the AOL dialer software and the AOL shield browser, which are optimized for older operating systems and dial-up internet connections will be discontinued. So like, yeah, you have to be like running internet explorer and not having updated it since
Starting point is 00:43:51 the first Obama administration, I think, for this to work. I mean, it was just wild to think, like, I remember the first modem we had was like 14.4 kilobits per second and then went to 288. And then there was 56K and every kilobite per second. Dude, we have fucking, we have fucking 566. This shit is so cooked, y'all.
Starting point is 00:44:14 But again, we were loving. I love it that shit. I remember losing it when I was like, oh, there's 56 now? We were at 144 a couple months ago. I can download three JPEGs a day. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Are you, watch me download this fucking 5 megabyte picture in seven hours. And then when DSL happened, bro, I remember well, my dad got DSL and the Matrix trailer came out. Woo! The way that shit loaded in 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Boy. Man, I had the fucking neighbors over and shit. They'll go, you know, we'll come through, bro. Come in about three hours. I'm going to have the Matrix trailer loaded up. You could sell tickets. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:57 That was a fucking, it was such a flex. I remember because my dad was teaching at the time. So he was able to, like, get it subsidized, like, to get DSL at our house. And I remember also the modem was the size of like six phone books stacked together. It was stupid. Was that, did it still make the sound of R2D2 tantric or? No, this is like. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Okay. This was the digital subscriber line, baby. This was new. This was all new, baby. We had Ethernet. Ethernet. I remember. Ethernet was a huge.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Huge step up. Lime wire. Download multiple songs. Oh. Oh. But I mean, how many people even use? Are there people that? So, according to the 2019 census.
Starting point is 00:45:39 So six years ago, 0.2% of households were still using dial up for home internet access. Damn. and has been below 1% since sometime in 2015. I can't imagine it's gone anywhere. I feel like on Twitter and shit, people would always post shit about to like, my grandparents still use dial-up. And I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:59 I was like, no, come on. Do you know anybody that uses fucking dial-up still? Yeah, hit us up if you do. Because that's, that's wild. And you know what? Just to honor the moment, let's just hear it one more time. One of my favorite songs.
Starting point is 00:46:13 bars that was my favorite part and then it would go there were levels to that at the end that's when R2D2 comes that's the sound of R2D2 Oh shit Oh my God
Starting point is 00:46:35 Let me get it up R2 Um R2 D2B That D2B 2B, Dick 2B Dick 2 bomb. We should make sure
Starting point is 00:46:49 we have that URL R2D2B. You know D2B, bro. So this just can be a lot of AI videos generated of R2D2
Starting point is 00:46:59 fucking good. Oh, y'all thought that was his third leg that he was sliding around on? Nope. Nope. Sorry. You seen him like pull out
Starting point is 00:47:09 a stun gun, a lighter, Hell yeah, bro, he's partying. You don't think he's got that thing on him? There was an edit where I remember the top of his dome will pop open a tray of cocaine. That you could say, perfectly, perfectly chopped up
Starting point is 00:47:26 ready for you. Close it up, close it up, close it up. All right. We got a big meeting coming up this week, Miles. Very exciting. It's been announced that Trump and Putin will get together to discuss ways forward to end the war in Ukraine
Starting point is 00:47:44 on Friday in Alaska. Oh. Oh, man. Wow. This is going to be huge. This is the first time. Miles, this is going to be fucking huge. I mean, you get Trump in there. You've seen him on the apprentice. That guy fucking closes his deal.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Dude, getting fucking Vladimir in the box, bro? What's he going to do? This is so sick. He's got him just where he wants him. Fucking Chuck Liddell, dude. This is the first time that Putin's been invited to the United States outside of the United nation since 2007 when he joined
Starting point is 00:48:15 George W. Bush for... I had not seen pictures from this. This looks like nobody... They're like on a fishing boat together. Yeah. I thought it was AI.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Yeah, this shit looks grim as hell. Putin's got like a big ass jacket on that like is too tight for him. I don't know. He's like trying to do that like... It looks like very Rick Owens. It's oversized.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Probably because it's like a big ass bullet approved vest. Yeah. It's like a puffy one, but then he's got like tight white jeans on. Hell yeah. And then Bush is just wearing a big old Hawaiian shirt also appears to be. A bunch of fish on it. Just such a fish like a guy, just a fucking guy going fishing shirt.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Hey, man. But there have been three rounds of talks between Russia and Ukraine that Trump has been like, I've got them talking. They're going to, we're going to end the war any minute now this summer. For some reason, Those have yet to bring the two sides any closer to peace. It's almost like his strategy of yelling at one side for not showing enough gratitude and like bowing down before the side that if you give them an inch,
Starting point is 00:49:27 we'll take a mile like everybody knows this, is not creating a level playing field that's going to work out for a peace deal. No, no, no. And every time it's like, this is what's going to happen. the Ukraine is going to give up some land to Russia and then that's the last of it and then Zelensky's like bro what the fuck are you
Starting point is 00:49:49 who said you were bar what the fuck what are you fucking talking about every time it's either them or like Russia being like I don't know what the fuck this dude is talking about because he wants that Nobel Peace Prize we know that he's so fucking horny for that thing it should be noted that having
Starting point is 00:50:05 a meeting with Putin on US soil is already a major concession huge win for Putin's Is he a war criminal? That I'm sure is going to, also I was thinking about, I was listening to somebody talk about why all the like capitalist theory for the past, you know, 20 years has been basically bullshit and we're coming to the end of that and all the theories that we're supposed to be governing this thing as though it were just, you know, unlimited resources forever.
Starting point is 00:50:37 And like now that's coming to an end and the resources are very limited. and everybody's having to, like, do what China does and, like, put their thumb on the scale for their country. One thing that I remembered was this Thomas Friedman, like, thing from 20 years ago where he was, like, no two countries that have McDonald's in them have ever gone to war. Oh, yeah. And I feel like this war, like that, I feel like maybe that's why, like, the New York Times set was, like, so fucked up by this war.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Yeah, it was like, these two countries have fucking... Stop! You can't do that. There's a McDonald's right there, dude. Oh, fuck. But anyways, already a huge win. And then when Trump has him, right where he wants him, as we've seen before, whenever he's in a room with Putin, he just, you know, knelt.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Yeah. You know, well, first of all, they, like, go off in their separate room where he's like, I don't want to be around my people. So who knows why, but Trump seems to be very. willing to just go along with Putin against the interests of America. Couldn't be that he's compromised in any way. Could not be. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I mean, look, Trump loves having war criminals on U.S. soil. We had BB Netanyahu come through to town. We've got Putin. Although he did just have this press conference where he was said like Pam Bondi's taking over the D.C. police and they're federalizing it. But then he's, but then he made this little gaff where he was like,
Starting point is 00:52:10 This is where he's, look, they said the meeting's happening in Alaska. This is where Trump said it's happening. And it's embarrassing for me to be up here. You know, I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to Russia on Friday. I'm sorry, what? You're going to where? You're going to where now?
Starting point is 00:52:25 I'm going to Russia. I thought you're going to Alaska. Are you mixing your, are you Sarah Palin now? You can you see Russia from your house? Are you in Russia? We may be giving them Russia in order to get this war over. I can see him doing some shit like that, you know. They're like, what are you talking about, sir?
Starting point is 00:52:44 All you have to do is give us Russia and Minneapolis and we're good. Why? We like it. No strategic reasons whatsoever. Big Kevin Garnett fans. Big Kevin Garnett fans. But yeah, the White House first announced that Putin would meet Trump, followed by a three-way meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelensky. Putin was like, no, that motherfucker's not coming.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Zillinsky's not coming. And then Trump was like, yeah, I never. said that he was coming. The White House was like, we can't have the meeting without Zelensky there, obviously. And then Trump was like, yes, we can. Yes, we can. The show don't stop for a hoe.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Fuck you're talking about. But he's just doubling back on whatever Putin wants to do. Really feels like a teenager who's like dating someone who's like a bad influence. And they're just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, we're good. I'll do whatever you want. Just, you know, yeah, no, I don't like them anymore just so they can like get in the same room. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:39 I'm pretty sure my grandma hated those earrings anyway. You could have them. I mean, I didn't know you took them, but now that I know, it's okay. That's actually cool. Yeah, just just fine, just fine, just fine. I feel good about this meeting. I think America is going to get a lot of cool stuff out of it. And yeah, I mean, the location of the meeting hasn't been confirmed.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Maybe it will now be in Russia. Maybe Alaska will belong to Russia. We don't know. but the mayor of Anchorage claimed that she hadn't received any indication whether her city would host the meeting yet locals have been getting short-term rental requests from the Secret Service so oh my god what a fucking clown show and yeah they don't really and we're jack nicholson sitting front row hey that's right you said it man I'm sitting front row at a Gallagher show and I ain't got my rain gear You know what I'm saying? Guys want to smash some fruit. What a gimmick. Yeah, such a low bar.

Starting point is 00:59:12 Play with this. Play with this. Play with this. Play with this. Yeah. Yeah. I did get to see naked gun. I will not be spoiling anything.
Starting point is 00:59:19 It's a lot of fun though. Highly recommend. It's taken everything I can to not say my like three favorite lines when you mentioned. I'm going to see that shit immediately. Immediately. The only jokes that didn't work for me were the ones that Brian spoiled last week. So, but yeah, that highly recommends a lot of fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Okay. All right. We want to talk about crime, which is out of control. Oh, actually, it's going down. Shit. Fuck. Oh, that's not good. That's not good for media headlines.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Yeah, we talked about last week how the Trump administration seems set on making future high school history teachers say big balls got his ass kicked. by two children and that was like as part of the justification for Donald Trump waging war on private citizens in Washington, D.C. He is asking the FBI to take to the streets to help fight an imaginary crime wave despite the fact that crime is down 30% year over year for the past two years and most violent crime is now below pre-pandemic levels. Oh, yeah. And despite the also the FBI is like we don't know what to do we don't that's not this is not our job I sit at a desk and like run numbers no you will not you will prevent carjackings now I frame elderly Muslim people for yeah being terrorists terrorists man this is like not my thing and they're just being
Starting point is 01:01:00 deployed to the streets yeah I'm used to like kind of creating little crimes that we can pretend we're like preventing the next 9-11 but yeah uh FBI officers were tasked with assisting local law enforcement in preventing carjackings and other crimes the individual said despite their general lack of training and traffic stops and their lack of legal authority to conduct them uh this is apparently causing a morale issue and uh he also like fired all the people who uh were like running those things and he's like instead I will be your leader and you will be traffic cops now instead of doing
Starting point is 01:01:40 Excel spreadsheet entrapment. It's so funny, all the people who get into the shitty federal law enforcement, the morale is low. It's like the board customs and border patrol. We're like, we don't want to do this.
Starting point is 01:01:54 We're used to doing brutalizing people in a different way. And now the FBI is like, you're going to rough up fucking citizens now. Do it. There's a crime wave. No, we have those statistics. There isn't.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Things are getting safer. You should make me tell people that. We actually do those statistics. That's my job. So like the thing that is my job is like I do the crime statistics. And we've done these numbers like 20 different ways trying to figure out a way to make it seem like there's crime is up. It's actually going down. Fucking sucks.
Starting point is 01:02:28 This is so, the media needs to fucking keep framing Trump as out of his fucking mind. I know. He claims, it's like, no, he saw homeless people on the way to golf. Yes. And he's like, I hereby demand the homeless people to leave D.C. Like, what are you? Huh? What are you saying?
Starting point is 01:02:51 You're not saying anything. But again, then you have all these people around you who are like, yes, sir, okay. Well, Pam Bondi will now be in charge of the, the D.C. police because big balls got jumped. Yeah, big balls got beat up by two. 15 year olds and Trump this is like in the same way
Starting point is 01:03:10 that tariffs you can like look at what Trump was obsessed with in the 80s and see that he was going to do the tariffs as soon as like
Starting point is 01:03:17 all the smart people around him turned into like you know accelerants people who were just like yes sir and everything he said like you knew
Starting point is 01:03:25 the tariffs were coming also arresting and like trying black children as adults was the thing that he was obsessed with in the 80s
Starting point is 01:03:34 you might remember the Central Park Jogger case where a bunch of children were like accused and falsely imprisoned and he took out a full page New York Times ad saying that the children should be put to death a statement that he stood by after it was showed that they were innocent that they were proven innocent he just he this is a non-stop obsession yeah yeah his anti black right look again this is all how many times has he been pushing the anti-black racism button since the Epstein thing yeah and now the mere presence he's like he's like there are black people around dc did you not know it's called chocolate city did you not know that did you not know that did you just
Starting point is 01:04:15 terrible it's ugly it's unattractive he keeps talking about how the city is not attractive which what it's not a it's not a child it's not an adolescent child what are you saying shut the fuck up and it and it serves so many purposes you get to do your anti-black racism You get to try and normalize, militarized, like, police presence in the U.S. cities. It's a win-win for everyone in the Project 2025 playbook. So, Jesus. But, yeah, we, I think, like most people who live there in any of these cities that Trump targets, they go, that's not what's going on here at all. Stop talking like it is.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Yeah. TV judge, Janine Piro, is calling for lowering the age limit that you can try children to 14. assuming there's not going to be a lot of white children that are caught up in that age lowering. I thought you were about to say the age of consent and not like, Jesus Christ. I mean, that's a little too on the note. That was one of the things that Vance decided at that meeting that they had to push back, they had to push the timeline on the age of consent lowering back a little bit because it was just, it's going to be a little, it's going to be, the optics are not going to be great for on that one right now.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Yikes. Donald Trump, you've completely, anyway, whatever. Anyways, I shouldn't have come back. I know, man. Hey, welcome back. You're in the octagon now. No fucking whimsy. Head on a swivel. Fuck. I was just drinking sooty pops and loving it. What is it? Cool. Head, cold heart. Can't lose. Is that what it is? Oh, I don't know. Head on a swivel. Cold, cold, cold, cold.
