My name is Jack that over there is mr. Miles
Than ever y'all don't worry about me why did why did Easter have to be on 420 why oh yeah like for you it dude I God I hi at brunch last time I think I really gave a fuck about 420 was
maybe like 20 of 2020 yeah and after that you know it's whatever you got a
kid now it's like I wish you like yo dog can you be chill today? It's 420, man.
Just like, just chill out, man.
I'm gonna go- You're talking to your priest.
Yeah, my pastor.
Yeah, my pastor.
I've only went to Catholic school, just, you know,
I am Lutheran, canonically on the show.
I want that to be known.
Canonically Lutheran on the show.
Lutheran being the Kendrick song, Luther.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, you subscribe to that.
The G and X tour.
They back. I started to look and see a little clips of that looking good.
Pretty good. Looks pretty good. Looks pretty fun.
Speaking of Luther, my kids are going through a weird Al phase right now,
because because on our trip, I introduced them to it I was like oh my god
you guys are gonna fucking love this and it hit so hard wait what's Luther what's the
law I'll get to that so Luther they then were like what songs can we do a weird out to and
we got it at the number one song on Apple Music. I was like, first, you need to find a hit song that everybody knows.
So we went to Apple Music and it was Luther.
And so we came up with Ramen Noodles, Heavy Boy, Drink It While It's Hot.
That's all we got so far.
If this world were man, ramen, ramen.
Anyways, but yeah, Weird Al still works so good.
Yeah.
Party in the CIA.
Eat it.
He had party in the CIA?
Yeah, that came out, that was like after our time.
But yeah, I'm guessing cause that's the Myla Cyrus.
For my kids.
Party in the CIA.
Big CIA fans.
My kids are like John Krasinski.
Big fans of the CIA big CIA fans. My kids are like John Krasinski, big fans of the CIA's work. This
is actually how they found out what the CIA was, was from a weird out song. Right, right.
We're gonna murder black revolutionaries, kill socialists on the globe. Basically. Blowing
up planes like yeah, doing hit jobs like blam yeah okay more or less like that
anyways this is the episode where we tell you what was trending over the
weekend we also get to know each other a little bit better by telling you some
things that we think are overrated and underrated miles mm-, why don't we kick it off? Is there something that you think is underrated?
Underrated? Yes. How about we start? Miles, is there something you think is overrated?
Oh, now we're okay. Over. Okay. Okay. Over. I would say, just again, you know,
canonically a Lutheran parent on this show. What is Lutheran?
That's the one where like you're I remember reading,
like learning about it in theology class where like you know,
that's Calvinism is the one where you're like doomed.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
What Lutherans believe that that Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ the is the is the be all end all of the church
Okay, yeah, I mean I feel I think really it's really like fine
Fine slicing and there's like all the differences between the Christian. I think there's only like two sacraments verses seven
Okay, okay now you're talking wild, man.
So now you wanna get fucked up.
So now you wanna get your ass beat, huh?
That's right.
But anyway, yeah, yeah, I think it's just funny,
like as my, as the baby gets older and more talky
and adult, like not adult, but like, you know,
less baby-like and more like a person.
I remember being like, man, a toddler stay, you know,
toddlers are gonna fucking, but I think just overrated
fearing that whole thing.
It's just like so weird.
I get that they're inherently more mercurial,
to put it lightly, but I never really see that.
I'm a pretty patient person.
So I'm really enjoying it because I'm also petty.
So like I'm patients in the way I'm like,
no, we can keep doing this.
I'm okay with that.
I will outlast you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm like, and I'm not gonna yell,
but I'm like, yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
Like keep throwing it.
I'm like, do whatever you gotta do.
But also I just like,
I like having a more
Dynamic arguing partner in a baby. Yeah, I think it's more fun for me before when it's like, oh, it's a little baby
I that's great
But I love I love that baby phase where you could put them down and they stay where they are put. Mm-hmm
Now this motherfucker gets out of the crib and shit now
He's like on some Ethan Hunt, Mission Impossible stunt work.
Like so, I was watching Monter so gracefully
getting out of the crib.
Like hooking the leg over, lowering ease.
I'm like, I shed a tear mostly from my sleeping,
but also just because he's so coordinated now.
But I just think-
You know how many engineers it would take
to program an AI robot to do that, as we'll learn later on. Yeah, a lot, a lot, a lot.
But I just think that fear, I think it just, it's all perspective.
And I think it's more just about seeing them for being like,
they're just coming online more. They have more skills, abilities. Yeah.
They're figuring out cause and effect at your expense, but
it's all part of of the magic of it.
And I'm very much enjoying it.
So yeah, also overrated having your house burned out
in a fire.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I forgot about that.
I forgot about that.
Yeah, we were still kind of, we were waiting on that one.
We were like, we're, jury's still out,
but like, well, we're gonna just kind of keep checking in
on that one.
See how, do you know ages better like wine
You know, I know is I can very interested in what's happening and I just want to update people
So my obviously know that the house burned down. We just had the lot cleared
so now I my home is now just a clean like the Army Corps of Engineers came through
Cleanly took all the debris away to the point where I'm like, what the fuck was he Army Corps of Engineers came through, cleanly took all the debris away to the point where I'm like,
what the fuck was even here?
Army Corps of Engineers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Clean slate, like it truly looks like a clean slate.
Yeah, it looks like you're playing,
it looks like you're playing the Sims
and you rage quit on whatever you were doing in it.
And you're like, nah, fucking,
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, nope, we're starting over.
So next phase is to see how terribly the tariffs
inhibit the ability to rebuild.
That's like the next phase,
just as I check in with everybody on where things are.
But anyway, Fearing the Tiler Stage, overrated.
Your house is just gonna be 100% made in the USA, man.
That's pretty cool. Hell yeah, dude.
That's all I care about.
Exactly.
Yeah, right.
She's going to suck shit.
All right.
Yeah.
My overrated set very similar is a way just like when your kids get too smart for
you or I guess like my overrated, I guess, is there's usually a theme with my
parenting overrated, which comes back to just like my ability as a parent,
because I tried to get some shit over on my kids this Easter
that would have worked in years past.
Right.
And so, you know, I went, I got candy for the Easter egg hunt,
like we do an Easter egg hunt, and, you know,
I got candy for the eggs, but I didn't have enough for
the basket. I fucked up on that front.
And so I didn't have fucking baskets. I didn't have basket candy, man. And so
a Lutheran would have never done this. A Lutheran would have never done this.
I did have some bubbles. I got some bubbles for the basket, but I didn't have enough candy.
And like, it just wasn't like I looked at the basket and I was like, this basket
sucks. Like I would be like, I would come down and be like, what was the Easter
bunny?
You're putting in those, like those promo business cards we got from miles and
jack got mad boosties. You're like, here,
Miles, not that far off.
Just take 60 of these.
I ended up like, I found some fruit snacks at the back of like the snack drawer.
I was like, I was pulling some shit.
And so there was also like leftover Valentine's Day candy from their their class.
And so I was just like filling it out, filling out the basket.
And my youngest, who's now seven, was just like went through each thing.
I was like, all right, this is a pencil from last Easter.
This is this was this is the fruit snacks that gave me in class.
Yeah. Yeah.
Fuck is clocked.
This he was like, this is a sticker from the doctor's office.
And at first I was like impressed
I was like damn this kid must have like a
Photographic memory and then I looked at the sticker and it was a Finding Nemo sticker that said you were a good patient
You did the divorce that Easter
God I'm surprised you didn't put like a condom or something in there just see a panic you're like
if I had had like a strawberry flavored edible one in my it might have come to that but
It was a not not great
like as
I said, I'm like he's seven. Of course this shit isn't gonna work. But yeah, the bubbles even I was like, bro
Your kids ain't they're not fucking with no bubbles. Like I mean they did have fun with the bubbles there
They're still fucking with bubbles. I don't know what that says about them. But no, no, I just in my mind
I was just trying to be a seven-year-old and be like, I don't want bubble
I guess the only thing that back of smokes. Yeah, exactly filterless reds. Yeah. Yeah, it's got to be you got to have that chocolate in there, man.
That's really the only thing that matters.
Yeah, yeah.
We did. They got a lot of chocolate in the Easter eggs on the hunt.
So, um, all right.
Let's go. Let's get some underrated.
What do you think's underrated?
So this weekend, we drove up to the Bay Area to see family.
And you know, driving that five, I've, I've done that.
I've driven up to the Bay many times.
Yeah.
Okay.
And doing that, you, there's like a part of driving on the highway, long distances when
you're trying to get there quick, where like you get in that left lane and you're just trying to keep it moving
trying to keep it moving trying it yeah like you do you do you don't want people
passing you all this other shit that's a loss that's an L every every car that
passes you as an L I'm dude her majesty almost divorced me when a car got
around us she's like tighten up tighten up, tighten up, tighten up, tighten up.
It's like a NASCAR terms.
Yeah. Like my fucking navigator, like in a rally car, like it was like, yep,
left turn 45 now. Um, so I just realized too,
it is driving is very underrated as a meditation on subduing your ego because all of that is purely based on your ego of like, yeah, you're not past.
I'm not some, I'm not some,
I'm not some motherfucker you pass on the highway because they're going slow.
I'm the one that goes fast enough all the time.
Even if I have young children in the car, like I think that was just a thing that really struck me because I used to drive like a fucking stupid ass motherfucker.
When I was like in my twenties, man.
The way I wasn't letting nobody in,
the way I was like, you need to hurry up motherfucker.
I got a place to go.
All my ego, all my ego, all my ego.
And I was like, I really tried to like be aware of that.
The like taking this driving trip,
cause I haven't taken,
this is the first time we took a really long road trip
since the Geist child was born.
And I was like, my first instincts were to like regress and then I was like no, this is my ego and I had to become Dr. Manhattan
And take off all my clothes and paint my body blue
Yeah, and I was just realizing too I'm like, oh shit, this is a really good like every time that feeling came up
Like you see somebody creeping behind you like I was like, why shit, this is a really good like every time that feeling came up, like you see somebody creeping behind you.
I was like, why don't I get over?
It really. Yeah.
And there's like a self-re- because I had a very similar
change of like I just had to like change how I approached
driving specifically around the time when we had kids.
And yet by not treating other people like an asshole,
I've noticed that I stop being outraged
at every single thing that they do back to me.
Yeah, exactly.
It's almost like, yeah.
Like there's, I think I've talked about it before,
like this idea that the thing that you are most angry about,
the thing that I am most like angry or fearful of
is the thing that I do to other people.
You know, like the way I mistreat other people.
There's like this like karmic physics that happens in my brain
where like, you know, if I fuck someone over in one way,
then I'm going to be worried about people doing that back to me.
And like with driving, like once I stopped driving like an asshole I stopped feeling like everybody was like trying to cut me
off and yeah me over just take yourself out of the game that's how I look at I'm
like I'm not even I'm not even have time for this game but I'm I'm out of here
I'm out of here y'all do you y'all do you but every now and then I'm not gonna
lie I was like this but what I do now is I catch myself laughing at them.
I go, look at you.
You thought you could get around that.
Greedy motherfucker. You wasn't going fast.
You ain't built to hit one oh five when everybody's going 86, bro.
You're not built for that.
So then I was doing that commentary and her magic.
Like, are you OK? I'm like, it's fine.
I'm not worried about it.
Look at this.
Watch this motherfucker think he'll get around. See, he ain't built for it. That's
why I got over to the side. No joy as satisfying as somebody
drives past you going a hundred miles per hour like an asshole. And then you drive past them
being pulled over by the police. Oh, yeah. Nothing's better. Nothing's better. Nothing's
better in the world. Yeah. Look at you. That's what you want to say. Oh, yeah. Nothing's better. Nothing's better.
Nothing's better in the world.
Yeah.
Look at you.
That's what you want to say.
Look at you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Turn your head as you're driving by.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyways, my underrated.
So all right.
I this is basically just me being like, let's talk about Tokyo miles because I'm interested
in getting your thoughts on Tokyo.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Thank you. about Tokyo miles because I'm interested in getting your thoughts on Tokyo.
I'm glad you did it so I didn't have to. That's my new drop. All right. Whenever white people just came back from Japan.
Let me know baby. Did you love the convenience stores?
I did love the convenience stores. I loved so much much about. All right. So the thing that I, you know, having lived in New York for like five
to six years of my life, I think I had always taken it for granted that living
with that many people on top of each other needs to be extremely loud.
Right. Needs to smell bad.
Like needs to just there needs to smell bad, like needs to just
there needs to be garbage everywhere.
And Tokyo much like the size of Tokyo, like Tokyo is, I think,
like twice as big as New York.
It's the biggest city in the world.
New York is like 50th, I think.
It's like not not even close to being as big as Tokyo.
Yeah. And it is like so like two days in.
I was just like, wait, why is it so quiet?
Why is why is everything so quiet?
Why is like everything run in an orderly fashion and clean and like respectful?
I I don't know.
It blew my mind.
I'm assuming like it comes from a like respect, like respecting other people.
Oh, yeah. It's all about the collective.
Yeah. And not inconveniencing other people or being the source
of inconvenience for other people.
That's like a huge, huge thing.
I just, yeah. And I guess I had heard that or like kind of had a sense of that, but like,
I remember wondering why I would see people in cities like Tokyo wearing masks or even like
people in New York City, like wearing masks like early before the pandemic.
Like decades before, like, why are they wearing a mask?
Yeah, why are they wearing masks? I Yeah, why are they wearing a mask?
I was like, they must think the air quality is really bad here.
And then come to learn it was just they are not feeling well
and trying not to spread their own germs to other people.
Yeah. And that that mentality is just like so so for so foreign
to Americans that like it broke us when we had to wear masks during the pandemic
But it's it's truly just a much
I don't know. It changes your perspective on
What is possible? I think yeah
Just like well, it also just like runs like that how things function when sort of that's kind of front of mind of like
Let's not fuck things up for other people.
And we're all just trying to do our thing.
So like nobody honks their horn.
Nobody honks their horn. Yeah.
You know, you know, you know what?
A good a good thing I like from Japanese driving is rather than giving people
the wave when they let you in or something, you flash your hazards twice.
Yeah, that is a good one.
Just like click, click, click, click.
And they go, oh, OK. Yeah. All right. I see you. I hazards twice. Yeah, that is smart. That's a good one. Just like click, click, click, click. And they go, oh, okay.
Yeah. All right.
I see you. I see you.
But yeah, it's definitely a change of pace.
I think that's the one thing that a lot of American people,
when they themselves have that kind of like personal ethos,
they go there and they're like, yeah, okay.
This, I could do this.
If only everybody else was on the same page, I don't mind picking up after myself
I don't mind fucking not screaming and being obnoxious in public
But you know, those are like also a much larger cultural differences to that
You know a lot of people sacrifice their own individuality for the collective in Japanese culture too and that comes with its own set of
You know problems also, but yeah, I'm sure I'm sure but I think yeah that just that basic level of
consideration it's like it's a simple thing that changes if the feeling of it feels like it changes
so much just by existing in a place like that for sure. I was impressed as I said when I came back
you should check it out Miles My that's pretty cool.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they just have a problem with guys getting naked
and painting themselves.
Unfortunately, they're really close minded about that.
They don't like they don't like when I go live on kick on my kick streams in Japan.
Did I fucking that's the one thing I fucking like if I'm over there,
I'm worried I'm going to go off on some American live streamer
act stupid in Japan because this is it's like only increasing
with frequency over the last few years.
And like I get so incensed because people are taking advantage
of this very thing you're talking about is to like not like in New York.
If you were fucking around, people lay hands on you like they were faith healers.
Right. You know what I mean? Right.
But oh, so there's like a trend of because I remember when like the one of the Paul brothers went over there and like, yeah,
went to the suicide forest and all that bullshit.
Yeah. And now there's like this out there is there are a few other people that are getting in trouble now.
Like this one kid right now is just bringing in a gigantic boombox onto the train and just fucking being obnoxious.
The point being that he's being obnoxious in a setting
where people are just gonna be like quietly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brian, the editor points out,
there's another guy, Johnny Somali,
who's now actually, I think, about to go to prison in Korea
because he fucked around in Japan, fled, went to Korea,
and now they got him on like 20 charges.
Wow.
For being like, getting drunk in a convenience store,
trespassing, like making
AI nudes of like another celebrity.
This yeah, I hope it's just like a lot of people in Japan to are like, make a fucking
example of these people so they know not to fuck around.
But it's, you know, there's another guy to this guy, Vitaly, who used to be this huge
prankster on YouTube.
He's in the Philippines right now.
In the Philippines, they're not fucking around.
They're like, bro, this guy is going to fucking rot
in Filipino jail.
No, the president was like,
now we're set to make an example of him.
Right, right.
And I'm like, ooh.
Yeah, that's not the place you wanna be.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.
Exactly, and I think that's,
a lot of people do take advantage of this very thing
you're talking about, like disrespect for other people. They're like, Oh, let me take
that to the point where I can just transgress without any repercussions.
Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about some news.
We'll be right back.

Which is just a very extra way of saying…
A podcast!
We're launching this season with a mini-series, Totally Nostalgic, a four-part series about
the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s.
It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K, 2000s.
My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media
platforms like Mundos and MTV3.
You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia,
you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen,
all the girlies doing their things,
all of the beauty reflected right back at
us.
It was everything.
Tune in to Locatora Radio Season 10.

We're back.
And as you've no doubt heard by now, Pope Francis,
who's who was having some health troubles and then was like back out on Easter.
Yeah. Doing the doing the mobile, the Pope mobile
that like it was like a new Pope mobile was like the Nolan bat bat mobile Pope mobile.
It was like like bigger, big wheels.
It's wild that even it's wild to see some like and then he died right after
like right after it was wild.
I'm like, shit, damn, you really pulled it out.
Yeah. So he was 88.
And, you know, a lot, a lot of eulogies, people pointing out that he ushered in a
more open, welcoming Catholic church that prioritized empathy for the poor and disenfranchised.
He was like very open-minded and empathetic for a pope.
For a pope.
For a pope.
Astrosc.
The for, the all for a pope. For a pope. Yeah. pope. Astros. The for the old for a pope.
For a pope. Yeah.
For somebody you want to hang out with.
Not so much. Yeah.
For a pope though. Oh, woke pope woke pope.
Exactly.
He he also had that great viral video
where somebody shook his hand in the wrong way
and he smacked the shit out of their hand.
Yeah, that was fun.
Playing around.
You'll also no doubt see multiple SEO friendly articles about how to stream
Conclave tonight.
There's like how to watch Conclave film tonight on three streaming service,
how to watch Conclave.
But weirdly in this story, we'll you know, because now they got to do the Conclave.
Did you watch Conclave by the way?
No, no, no.
Conclave is good.
I recommend it. It's white lotus.
OK, what do you think? That's yeah.
Last episode, not great.
Fucking stupid, bro.
I didn't get I mean, we could talk about it.
I'm like half of this shit.
I'm like, where is this going?
What was the point of this?
Like, yeah, what was the point of that?
Yes. What was it?
What is the commentary here? Because I don't know what it is point of that? Yes. What was it? What is the commentary here?
Because I don't know what it is outside of being salacious, for the sake of being salacious.
I think the one part I will say without spoiling anything is I just wish Parker Posey's character
was more like fleshed out.
The change that happened in the very last shot and like, and they were like,
and things are going to be interesting here going forward.
They could have done that in the second episode and instead they just were in the same mode the entire time tension
Yeah, yeah, I don't know Mike white. It's I go figure it out, bro
Shout out to Mike white though, because we did watch school of rock this weekend
All right, that one still goes also Orange County. I love Orange County
Pretty sure he did Orange County. I love Orange County. Is that right? Orange County.
Pretty sure he did. Orange County, too. It's like so stupid.
But it's a it's it's one of my favorite Jack Black performance.
That is one of your favorite.
One of your favorites.
One of your problematic faves.
Problematic fave. Jack Black in that one.
Woo. Anyways, one of his final acts on this earth was to shade JD Vance on Saturday.
He bailed on the Vatican's official meeting with JD Vance and it just, JD Vance is like
a Southern Baptist who converted to Catholicism.
Yeah, right.
He's a convert, right.
Very serious about his Catholicism.
And the pope was like, sorry, can't make it.
You will instead be meeting with my number two.
And since you are the number two and a number two,
you will be meeting with my number two.
And just got a lecture on compassion
from the Vatican.
And this is according to a Vatican state. It's not like according to like anonymous sources,
familiar with the situation.
This is according to a Vatican state.
And they were like, we delivered a lecture.
Yes.
Drop the truth bomb on his ass.
Yeah.
Are you, do you know what Catholicism is JD?
That'd be the first thing.
Yes, papa.
Yes, il papa.
Take a seat.
We're so happy to have you here.
Yeah.
He did, the Pope did meet with JD Vance on Sunday,
I'm assuming after just like endless bitching and moaning
from JD Vance and you know, the Americans.
Why can't I meet him?
Yeah, the photo looked like he was big.
He was like, bro, you're killing me right now.
Like when they were that photo of them talking, he's like, bro.
Literally, you're honestly I'm going to die after this
because I'm straight up.
Yeah, I can't do this.
And then the pope used his Easter speech to talk about,
you know, policies that seem to
be the Vance and Trump administration policies.
Dude, everything.
He was talking about Gaza.
He was talking about stop fear mongering around migrants, help the hungry.
Are you fucking dumb, fool?
Do you know how to hold a trophy, asshole?
Stop fucking couches.
That one caught people off guard when he said that during his remarks.
Stop fucking couches.
Resisting the urge to copulate with furniture.
I do just have to note that JD Vance,
the one like quote we have from his meeting,
on the last, the Pope's last day on earth,
the one quote we have is JD Vance telling him,
it's good to see you in better health.
And this is just, I don't know, whatever he appears to be trying to accomplish
in public appearances, whether it's like projecting man of the people vibes
at the donut shop, hoisting a trophy to look like he is a manly football fan guy,
complimenting the pope on how alive he is.
fan guy complimenting the pope on how alive he is.
He just seems to always backfire like 180.
Do you think any of that connected with J.D. Vance or is he more devoted to his like hunger for power and influence than he is?
I'm sure he's going to hell.
You know how they say like people in cults tend to have like a certain like
higher than average level of intelligence because they're good at rationalizing rationalizing.
You know, you can, they can win any argument they need to in their own head to get them
to wherever they need to be to, you know, get, get the thing that spiritually or emotionally
they actually need. Like this,
this guy is probably the Michael Jordan of self rationalizing, you know,
like he's probably the greatest.
I feel like the Michael Jordan of self rationalizing, you wouldn't,
you wouldn't even know. You couldn't even tell.
This guy wears it on his face. That's true.
He looked like the Daniel Kaluuya get out poster, but if it was a white guy, but
it's in his own mind, it's like,
I think that's what's happening inside his mind because how are you that bumbling
all the time? Cause if you really had it together, like a real sociopath,
no, that's a really good point.
He's a, he's an aspiring sociopath.
There's, there's some rumbling at the deep down on the tectonic plates.
Oh, yeah. We'll see some things shift.
I don't know if it'll break.
Yeah, I just think he'll just have like
he's just going to break down at some point.
You know what I mean?
And just whatever.
A poor not even I was going to say poor family, whatever.
I mean, the kids didn't ask for this guy to be their dad
We should do somebody do meet the Vance's Kendrick. Can you write that?
Mmm, just write a letter to Usha and everybody let him know who this man is
Well speaking of they didn't ask for this person to be their father. There's a great
Photo op with Pete Hagseth at the White House
Easter egg roll.
Yeah.
Which we covered at the end of last week where he was defending himself and being
like, I'm just, you know, fighting the fake news media for my kids.
Did you see who look like they do not like this guy? Yeah. And they're like, and also I felt like they're like, bro, we ain't your kids.
We're not your kids. What the fuck are you saying?
Did you see the clip? Because at the Easter egg roll, he goes to the press and
immediately they're like, Hey, what about Signal Gate to electric Boogaloo?
Yeah. What happened, bro? Yeah. Did you guys talked about that? No, no.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
So this is another fucking just out in the open chat discussing like military strikes,
but with his wife and little brother on the fucking on the group thread.
The chat was known as defense team huddle.
So with my wife and little brother.
Exactly.
I don't know how Jesse water is going to have to do this shit again. That's team huddle. So. Yeah. With my wife and little brother. Exactly.
I don't know how, Jesse Waters
is gonna have to do this shit again.
He's like, look, how many of us haven't been planning
a Mexican bestiality trip where we go down
and do unthinkable things with your wife
and little brother on it and discuss,
then next thing you know, everybody knows what's going on.
I don't know.
This is, I don't know, this is not gonna be defensible
or it is in his eyes because when he's asked about it
at the fucking Easter egg roll,
he just comes out looking just thrashing
like someone who's totally been caught.
It's fake news media.
I mean, yeah.
It is funny because he starts looking at the camera too.
Like he's like, oh, let oh, let me fucking speak truth to power
real quick.
Professional wrestling style, yeah.
Yeah, let's hear a little bit from him.
Hey, we're happy to be here at the East Red Bull,
I'll tell you that.
It's been a beautiful day.
Beautiful day, beautiful day.
And President Trump has changed the country.
He's creating opportunities for families all across America
to better their lives.
And that's what Make America Great Again is all about.
Exactly. Do you wanna say, say sir about the single chat controversy?
You know, what a big surprise that a bunch of, a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out.
Wow, you're looking directly down the barrel of the camera.
From the same media that held the Russia hoax.
Won't give back their Pulitzers. They got Pulitzers for a bunch of lies.
Pulitzers for a bunch of lies.
We got comments from John Belin.
And on hoaxes, time and time.
I love how the press though, shout out to them being like,
uh-huh, what about the comments from the recently
resigned, uh-huh, uh-huh.
And that's OK, keep saying that, asshole.
But my question, yeah, he goes on, wait,
where's the part where he gestures to his kids?
Right here.
He's like, and these random fuckers, I mean, my kids?
So I'm happy to be here at the Easter egg roll with my dad and my kids.
Cause you know, this is what we're doing it for.
These kids right here.
Look at them.
This is why we're fighting the fake news media.
This is why we're fighting slash and burn Democrats.
This is where we're fighting hoaxsters, hoaxsters.
This group, no, no, no, this group right here.
Oh man.
Oh boy.
It's shit like this, though, that does,
it does reaffirm, obviously, the truth that, you know,
these autocrats are the most weak-built people on Earth.
Yeah.
Like where this is something you did, you can either,
and he, you know, rather than,
he's obviously not gonna take accountability,
but his style of defending it
is to just like pivot in this weird way.
He's like, and you guys are a bunch of hoaxsters. You know what I mean?
That's all you do. You're just doing pranks on people,
do a slash and burn Democrat tactics. You're just trying to do hit pieces on me.
If he was like on some steely shit and be like, you know what? Police, remove them.
I know that's what he wished he wanted to do, but this is just such a, again, it's very revealing.
He has that power, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, this is happening all because the people
within the Pentagon are like,
dude, this guy's gonna fucking ruin everything.
Like he doesn't, these people don't have full control
over everything.
That's why shit like this keeps happening.
Only, they only have a few.
Is there a sense that his position is tenuous,
like based on, like, cause the last thing was bad look, but I feel like he got through to budget being
like, I didn't add the guy like, well,
this time it's hard because he did start this. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
So like this time it feels like if the,
if things were at all wobbly the last time,
but people were just like giving him the benefit of the doubt because somebody
else added the chief of the Atlantic.
Like this time feels like that this would directly kind of undermine that.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, then they're also saying like, they're like people in the Pentagon
are trying to think that Caroline Levitt said that there are people trying to
undermine him where you're like, oh, yeah.
So this so this is the tactic now.
Everyone's against it. They were always against us.
Right.
They were always against us. That's the thing. That's why we can't do any of these things that
are wildly illegal. But yeah, it's good luck, Pete. I mean, right now he did say, I do have
the president's backing. And I spoke to him and we're very much aligned over what we're doing
and making America great again. So I mean, Tammy Duckworth, Senator Tammy Duckworth is like, dude,
get this fucking guy out again.
How many more are we going to do before he's just like
fully just doing like the I guess it can't be more of a parody at this point.
But it's like he has a group chat with Putin.
Does he really? No, no, I'm just saying like, that's going to be the next one
that we're going to find out.
And but like to your point, you're like, he probably does.
I don't know. Yeah.
Like I wouldn't doubt that at all.
At some weird back channel or at least with, yes, somebody to back channel.
But again, this is more like he gets taken in by a fake Putin signal chat.
You know, who's telling him he's like, yo, man,
if you're interested in making crypto like we're talking about like four grand
a day, potentially, man.
I am Vladimir Putin. And we've been reviewing your resume lately and we're really impressed.
We have a job that is worth the offer.
You would like to offer you.
He's like, oh, shit, I've been meaning to talk to you, man.
I was bombing campaign.
Yeah. Yeah. But also very interested in this business opportunity to.
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Lava for Good Plus on Apple Podcast. On November 5th, 2018 at 6.33 a.m., a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch
out in Sleephole Valley.
The driver's seat door was open.
No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle.
No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape lodged leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a
cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were ten vile, grotesque,
horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public.
Until now.
Mike!
No question!
You feeling this too?
A horror anthology podcast.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
We're back.
And last week there was a nine oh opinion against Donald Trump that they were
dealing, the Trump administration seemed to be dealing with by being like,
I heard it was nine oh for us. Like, gym teacher logic.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So now there's been another Supreme Court decision that was issued in the middle of
the night over the weekend.
Shot drop.
Yeah, exactly.
Shot dropped on our ass.
Fucking Kendrick album.
Yeah, one hand. Relating to Trump, the Trump administration's attempt to
traffic a group of Venezuelans to El Salvador.
Yep. Yep. Surprise, surprise.
This again, same thing under the pretense that they are part of some gang.
This time it's Tren de Aragua.
I'm wondering if that gang is like, bro, you can't say everybody is part of this gang.
Like not everybody.
If you've ever worn a bull's hat,
you are technically.
Did you see that fake ass MS-13 tattoo
they tried to put on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's hand?
They're like, look at his M and that shit was like not even.
It's just AI.
Dude, not even.
It was like in Microsoft Word.
It was like in aerial font and Trump was holding it up
like some boomer with his memes.
And he's like, look at these.
It's, these are like worse than even like the,
even the Stalin Photoshop's were at least kind of good.
Like people were manipulating film and shit.
Like if you wanted to erase somebody,
this was straight up trash.
Like it almost looked like somebody drew on a picture.
But anyway, so this was basically blocking more people to be trafficked to El Salvador.
And as they said in their decision, quote, the government is directed not to remove any
member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order
of this court.
Like don't listen to your mother, listen to me, your other mother, your real mother, okay?
And it's pretty notable, since the high court came in
with their ruling before a lower court
had the chance to respond.
And it was a seven to two decision,
obviously Alito and Thomas dissenting.
And the majority released their decision before Alito,
like even put out his response, I think.
Now, have they finally figured it out?
That they created a fucking senile goblin hell-bent on destroying what's left of our legal norms?
Who knows?
Almost definitely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it is clear that at least a few of them maybe realized that at the very least,
the power that they were seeking as judges
will mean fuck all if no one actually listens
to court rulings.
So maybe from that perspective, they're like,
nah man, if they just run over us all the time,
what did I debase myself
in these confirmation hearings for?
I can't, it can't just be for nothing.
Or maybe it did help that Justice Beer
or Justice Kavanaugh is homies with Judge Boasberg,
who's that other judge that's at the center
of the confrontation with Trump over deportations.
And he's like, nah, bro, let me fuck.
These aren't like liberal activist judges.
These are-
No, yeah, they were both put,
they were both got appointed to the federal bench under Bush.
So these guys and like him and Kavanaugh
and this guy, Judge Boasberg,
this is the guy who was talking,
the first sort of decision that Trump argued over
when they were sending people on planes
and he's like, turn those planes around.
They're like, sorry, you're actually breaking up.
We can't hear you. International airspace,
therefore your laws do not apply in the sky.
We all know Sky Law, Sky Law is supreme.
So Kavanaugh and Boasberg went to Yale together. They were roommates. They're like, they're like friends.
They're friends. Uh, and I was just oligarchy saving our ass. Yeah. The bro oligarchy, the
judicial bro oligarchy saving us all. So I don't know what we'll just wait and see until
the next ruling where they say Trump can actually ignore the courts for real next time. And
then we're like, Oh, Oh, nevermind.
They were just waiting to do this one.
What like what I guess that does because because we are technically in like constitutional
crisis territory where so like what what happens next?
So they've said do this thing.
He's going to keep ignoring it.
And then what does the Supreme Court police come and arrest Donald Trump?
Yeah, they don't, here's the thing,
they don't got that exactly.
Right, right.
I mean, it's probably gonna be through,
their rulings might get increasingly more,
like unequivocal and confrontational,
but you know what?
That's probably a reason why maybe we should have
a Rhiannon back on to help us understand that.
Yeah, it might be time for a Rhiannon.
Rhiannon, what happened?
We do now, if they ignore the court.
Hey, what happened?
All right.
And finally, yeah, just, I do wanna talk about,
you were talking about the Geist Child's ability to smoothly
get out of a crib.
Oh yeah, Ethan Hunt style.
Ethan Hunt style.
You watch kids grow and learn and it's pretty amazing.
All the shit that's happening behind the scenes, all the amount of things that they're learning
from one day to the next.
And it really gives you a new appreciation for how dumb fucking robots are.
Because they're still stuck trying to learn to run. They can't do shit, man.
They can't do shit, dude. They can't do shit, dude.
Look at this thing hobbling around.
So there was the first ever half marathon involving robots in Beijing
over the weekend.
And this is like a normal half marathon, right?
Like there were humans.
There were humans, 12,000 humans.
Yeah.
With 21 humanoid robots so they could flex their skills.
I think this is obviously part like industry sort of showcase Humans, yeah. With 21 humanoid robots so they could flex their skills.
I think this was obviously part like industry
sort of showcase to kind of show where like Chinese robot,
how far Chinese robotics have come.
But again, it was a nice day for us to reaffirm our belief
in the superiority of the human body over the robot body
in terms of just jogging.
As of yet, yeah.
They got no sprung in that step.
I mean, I would be curious to see what would happen if like one of those Boston Dynamics
robots was in it, because this was specifically for the Chinese robotics industry and a lot
of researchers, when they heard about this race, they're like, I don't think this shit's
going to go well, because those robots over there, they're really focused on specific
tasks.
And while they are bipeds, biped, they walk on two limbs.
It's not, they're not meant to fucking do full on marathons.
Like that's not just, that's not the, that's not the use for them.
So 21 humanoids entered the race.
Six made it through the whole race and only one barely hit the maximum time
allowed to receive a participation medal.
And again, that's why, because robots don't get tired.
Like they shouldn't get tired. Like- Yeah. Well, that's the thing.
So apparently the results were hilarious and terrifying. This is from Wired. This just,
like some of the descriptions of the humanoid robot participants quote,
on Saturday, almost every robot fell down and faced overheating problems, prompting
operators to switch them out for new replacements.
One robot called Wan Wan, which has a human-like head, only moved at the speed of a snail for
a few minutes while its head shook uncontrollably as if it could fall off any time.
Another robot named Shen Nong looks like a real Frankenstein's monster with the head that resembles a gun
Dumb and for drone propellers. It's it sits on a foundation with eight wheels and it's not clear how that alone wasn't
You can't just be on wheels, right?
We know that like cars
We know how wheels work I thought this was for a bipedal robots.
It says, but that wasn't even Shen Dong's biggest problem
as the robot immediately twirled in two circles
after taking off from the starting line,
hit the wall and dragged down its human operators with it.
It was painful to watch.
That one was particularly unimpressive.
Then there was, it's a duct tape proof
to be the most effective problem solving tool.
Not only did the accompanying humans make makeshift robot shoes with duct tape, they
also used it to adhere the head of a robot back onto its body after it repeatedly fell
off during the run, making for some very jarring scenes.
So one mother bugger's like, going in circles, another one, heads just fucking, pet's heads
are falling off.
Like is this dumb and dumber and shit?
Really, really not the best time.
It's wild that they were allowed to replace them
with like new models during the race.
I feel like that would be disqualifying for a human.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Hey, can I tap out my friend Mo Farah,
Olympian Mo Farah to run this for me?
I think this will help a lot.
But then if that wasn't enough,
so every robot had to be accompanied
by like a human operator.
Yeah.
That also had to basically run a, not all basically,
they also had to run a half marathon and do active.
Or walk, depending on how slow the robot was
moving yeah yeah but then also do active repairs on these fuckers to get them
across the finish line so just said they were guiding the robots where to go
furiously charging their bad as batteries and endlessly spraying liquid
on them to cool down their motors yeah not a great ad for them but not a great
ad it is wild how like that there was one that like fell down and they had to like keep trying
to pick it up and then they did some program and it like was able to like push itself up
and like stand up.
And that was terrifying looking to me.
I was like, Oh shit.
That thing looks like it just like popped out of the grave.
Yeah.
But just generally, yeah, it just feels like they are at a
Baby stage like they're at the stage of baby
Yeah, and again, I think this is for this specific set of robots because look we all we've all seen those terrifying
They're definitely these are not the most terrifying robots on display. That's the boss
I know it's by dynamics dynamics
That's what I'm saying. Are the Boston Dynamics, Dynamics, Dynamics?
Dynamics, yeah.
Are they bipedal yet?
Do they got a bipedal? Oh yeah.
Oh no.
That's the one that can like lift shit
and like run upstairs and shit.
Yeah, I don't like that.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, look, if they did this in America,
we would be like, yo, fuck all of this.
That's why I was like, yeah, yeah,
let me watch these ones.
Cause like even those fucking dogs are like, getting close to hopping over walls and shit. like, yeah, yeah, let me watch these ones. It's like even those fucking dogs are like the dogs are
terrible over walls and shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Like the dogs would have no problem with the ship.
Although, yeah, I would want to see like, OK, that's if that's the race
that they have in Beijing, like what's our like the Boston
marathon with the Boston Dynamics robots
or like put a put one of these robots in the NFL combine.
Yeah. the NFL.
I mean, so the thing that like I thought this was going to be,
I thought they were just going to like sprinkle the robots throughout the field
and like see how they had to like make them deal with runners and like
things changing, because if you've ever like run a marathon or like a half
marathon, the hardest thing is like you're in this like massively packed
group of people and having to like run around people and,
you know, dodge things all over the place like that.
That would be impressive to me.
And I bet the Boston Dynamics could probably do it. But
yeah, it's the clips are like this was like they they just had them like off on their own
All right, there it goes
Yeah
Show the robots falling down
Look at this one. Oh, yeah, this is the one whose head was shaking the endurus of our robot
Yeah, which is getting smoked by 55 year olds in the background
Yeah, just getting smoked by 55 year olds in the background
But yeah, so they put them in a separate lane
That was just like they're all by themselves so they can't like trip over anything or nobody like like as a petty competitor But fuck you. It's just yeah pushing over the robot in that. Oh, hell. Yeah, I would kick the legs out from under it. Yeah
Anyways, all right. Those are some of the things, that's what's given me hope,
is how shitty these robots are this week.
Low bar, low bar.
We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves.
Get your vaccines when you still can.
Get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy.
And we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Bye. Bye.
