It is refreshing when big corporations actually, bother to disassociate themselves with this administration. Yeah. Because that used to be what happened. And now everyone's just kind of like, we actually think his ballroom is cool. Yeah. This is like pride flag aesthetics on Twitter. Right.

It's a sign of like a good general environment. Just generally, I think we're in a good place. I've just found out about the Mar-a-Lago dog mask. And in fact, when now, It's such a hit that when you type Mara Lago space, this is always how I like to gauge what's going on in the shared consciousness. It's overtaken Mara Lago face and is now Mara Lago dog masks is the first thing that Google suggests. What the fuck is this?

This is so bad. So they've taken the aesthetic and- This is L.A. clowning. Right. They've taken the aesthetic and the vibe of eyes wide show. And they're like, what if we could bring in the creepiness of that little room in the shining where you like get a glimpse of the person and the dog mask? Yeah.

Like, how do we make our whole shit more cursed? That's also like squid games, right? Does squid games have dog? Oh, yeah. They had animal masks. Animal masks. What if everyone here was like the gremlin on the wing in terror at 20,000 feet or whatever that Twilight Zone was?

Part of the way through the Valley of Despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 421 episode 5 of Dernadley's Egeist, a production of IHeartRadio. This is the podcast where we take a deep dive into America's Share. consciousness through the day's news. We also have a new weekly history version of the show dropping each Monday morning where we do a deep dive into the history of a different icon. We just did Elvis on Monday morning with Chris Crofton.

And we've got a Marilyn Monroe episode coming up on Monday. Not this Monday, the following Monday, but we're about to record it. I'm excited about it. We're going to solve the crime. We're going to solve the death. It's Friday. January 16th, 20206, it's fucking whiskey Fridays here at the Daily Zeitgeist. Thank you

to our guest for bringing the vibe, the truly cursed vibe of CBS News to our recording today. My name's Jack O'Brien, aka Potatoes O'Brien, and I'm thrilled to be joined in our second seat by a hilarious stand-up comedian, writer, actor, improviser. You can catch her this weekend at Sketchfest. It's Polonium, Polavi Gunalais. It's me.

Watch out. The Poisoner in Chiefs. Watch your drinks. Miles. Yeah, specifically Miles. Every time Miles is out is because Pauley has poisoned him. Pallavi were thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious writer, comedian, podcaster. That was byline as a period in GQ on the ringer.

the host of Film Drunk, The Frotcast, Pod yourself a Gun, Pod Yourself the Wire, and now Mad Yourself a Man. Welcome back to the show. It's Vince Mancini. Oh, is the Polonium? Is that why I'm getting more wrinkled than my hair is falling out? Yeah, yeah. It's starting to look like Bill Murray.

Yeah, I knew it. I knew it wasn't me. Vince, I have some hard-hitting question. I don't usually just fucking buttonhole guess right off the top. But I like getting hit hard. I did have some gotcha questions for you. Do you believe in nominative determinism where like someone named Dennis is becomes a dentist?

I mean, in certain cases. Like, I mean, like for instance, like the Rams kicker, I don't think anyone has ever looked as much like a Harrison Mivas as a Harrison Mivas. Right. They just grow into their name. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

And there's other football players like Champ Bailey and shit like that where you're like, that person's going to be fucking awesome one way or another. I also always mix up gronk and grok. Yeah, gronk. Gronk had no choice. But that's a fucking gronk if I've ever seen it. Ronkowski. Do you think, Vince, that you became a film critic because your last name and you are a man who seen many movies?

It was a long walk, but I really wanted to get there. Another great movie. I thought you were going to go with like Manchinema. No. Just you're a man. Much dumber than that. Mancini, some movies. Yeah, I see me and some movies. They're really nice.

Also, what's Matt Lebes weird? Can't you host a show with Matt? How long you got? Mancini and Furentini. I know, right? What a freak. He has a type. He's got an e-enie type.

Anyways, we're going to get to know you even better than we just did in a moment. First, a couple of things that we're talking about on today's episode. We're going to talk about these agents are having a tough time. We've talked about how their invasion of the United States has affected the mental health of everybody very negatively and particularly the people that they kidnap and torture. But what about them? They seem to be really down in the dumps lately.

So we're going to look at a video of one of them who just had pee thrown on him and just empathize. That's why I'm saving buckets of it. That's why I'm saving buckets of it. Why are you wearing Kleenex boxes on your feet? Did you hear, sorry, this is like a totally off topic,

but did you hear that the French, like, language police are trying to get people to stop using the Japanese word for like urine play and replace it like with a French one? No. What? Yeah, like they, I think it's called like Onerami or something like that, which has like been like the search term on adult sites. And then there's like a French like government body that tries to push out foreign words and get people to use the French. That is so funny, being xenophobic in this way.

Yeah. And I think the French version is like Matrice de la piece or piece. I don't know how to pronounce. Okay. They made fun of us for freedom fries and they are like, no, we're, we have our own urine. play word, okay? That's the thing they're choosing to take back.

That is so fucking French. It is how you say as French as a peace play. We are freaks and we want you to know. God. What a refreshing look at like back when white supremacy was just kind of done on

the borders of culture. Yeah, yeah, language. That's actually never been true in America. As far as the mainstableness, as far as the mainstream media was concerned it was. Anyways, we're going to talk about those French, because we're going to talk about EU solidarity around Greenland.

And where all this America wants Greenland stuff is coming from, because it's like one guy, the heir to the S. D. Gerard Butler? No, it's the heir to the Estee Lauder fortune. What?

Hilariously named Ronald Lauder. No. Ron Lauder is the one who got Trump all excited about that idea. God, Esté is really carrying the Lauder name. I know. Are they just like boring Americans that one of them was named Esté?

And so now it has like the sheet of. Yeah, class. Shout out to my mom who hustles Estée Lauder for free samples all the time. So we'll talk about that and then we'll get into some movies. Obviously the most anticipated movie of this year, the upcoming Melania documentary. That shit is scaring me. There's like pictures of her at bus stops and I'm like everywhere in L.A.

They're like treating this like they're like we're going to make Melania a thing in L.A. Seems like their instincts are slightly awful. Honestly, you shouldn't be so like excited about it because we have so many billboards about STIs. Like just chill. It doesn't mean anything.

Yeah. Most of L.A. is just blanketed and things like warning people that gonorrhea is. still out there, which, yeah, I've heard it's bad, but these billboards are really pretty convincing. I see, I always thought the reason that L.A. had so many entertainment industry billboards is to just sort of make it look like they're doing a marketing job for the people that are actually like in those shows and made those shows. Yeah. But yeah, I wonder,

like it, I don't know where Melani actually. Yeah, Malani is not out here. Like in Florida, do they have a lot of those? It's probably some manner of like taking pictures being like, look at this, sir. She's on the shittiest bus stop on fucking Melrose. There she is behind a Zanku chicken. I know. We need someone to switch out like the Scientology testimonial people with her, you know? Yeah.

So she's like in her hat and she's like, I am a Scientologist. And I too am a Scientologist. Would you like to take free personality? I kept doing a very bad accent. I know. I think that that's the real thing holding us back on these riffs is like we want to go full accent, but we don't know what we're doing. Because she never really talks.

Every line that she's ever uttered in public has been dubbed over. Her longest speech is her just ducking Trump. Like this. And we're going to talk about Marty Supreme because we just learned an interesting fact about that film. that seems to be doing well, seems to be an award season movie that's actually going to get some award seasoning. So all of that plenty more.

But first, Vince, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I'm not proud of it, but my... Yeah, this is what we like to do. My most recent search was Big Boob Lady Blazing Saddles. Uh-huh.

You know, I was trying to figure out who the big... I was watching Blazing Saddles, I was like, you know, I wonder what happened to the big boob lady from this. I'm going to need to ask you your sexuality, Vince. I'm going to need to know right now. I'm into Mel Brooks movies. That's my main. Okay.

All right. Check out. Now I'm Googling Big Boob Lady plays himself. It's contagious like that, right? Robin Hilton played Miss Valerie Johnson. I'm going to give it the... She was a governor's mistress. Wow.

Oh, my God. She looks like Chapel Rhone and Sabrina Carpenter together. Hello, silence. Anybody? Sorry. Hello? Hello? Is anybody there?

I'm Googling Big Boob lady and looking for like what Google Auto completes it to because I wanted to see if it was Blazing Saddles and they're just like, you're on your own with this one. Yeah, yeah. He's clicking every link. There's a lot popping up right now. Yeah. Holy shit. My computer's being taken over.

I googled Big. boob lady and then I'm feeling lucky. And that was before the show. That was before the show. Now I'm stuck in a washing. Anything interesting that you found out about big boob lady blazing saddles? Well, you know, her name is Robin Hilton? So then I was like, okay, is she related to those Hilton's?

And it turns out like that was the name that she got from her first husband. And then I was like, is he related to the Hilton? I don't believe that he is related to the Hilton family. So I didn't really find out anything other than that. She was in Blazing Saddles and did a great job, great acting job. Great work. What is something that you think is underrated? Underrated?

I would, you know, I'm going to say going for a jog because, you know, my overrated is reading the news all day as we tend to do. Yeah. Okay, wrong podcast. Everybody listen to the news every day. Well, they can listen to this on a jog. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. I'm promoting podcasts because those, that's something that you can do while on a jog.

You can go for a jog and find out about the Mar-a-Lago dog mask party. You know? Jogging, I will say, when I run and, like, just go as slow as possible, it is really nice. Just do a real, real nice slow run. I'm not trying to impress anyone. But then I do feel like if I'm like walking. I believe that's called walking. Look it up.

But yeah, but I tend to get embarrassed. embarrassed to do that. And so I'm like, running as fast as I got. Oh, you're trying to impress. Yeah, exactly. I need to crowdsource this to like any TDZ. Because this is something my feet are fucked up. So I can't, I'm like literally walking my dogs and that's all I can do. And I have like Flaffy and planter fasciitis.

So if any TD, if any Zygang people know what to do for bad feet, DM me, because I can't run anymore. And I never really could. But like, you know what I mean? And I'm like, I want the ability to do the Olympics in my 40s if I need to, you know? So somebody tell me, I believe in my feet. I feel like they're going to tell you to get like inserts in your shoes. I have those. I have everything.

I have inserts. I massage my feet every day. Somebody, I'm going to just, what I'm going to do is I'm going to get a piggyback ride from Jack. And I'm going to be like, go faster. You're going to be shocked by how slow I can run. Crazy. How slow? So slow that I'm almost going backwards.

You're drafting off an old lady. Yeah. Yeah, it's the opposite. I like to do the opposite of race walking, which is, you know, like the slowest possible jogger. That should be in the, if you can have the fastest walker in the Olympics, why couldn't you have the slowest jogger? Yeah. They did have that thing that was like trending during the Olympics where everybody's like, we need one like normal guy to show like how fast these people are going. Yeah.

I'm like, I could be that normal guy. I would be like a sickly guy, but that would be great for every of it. Like gymnastics. You know how hard you? Like, just put me out there on the fucking rings before they send those. And you're just like, you just try and do one thing. Yeah. They wouldn't be able to afford your bills after you become a quadriplegic.

After my arms are just left up there, but the rest of my body is torn off. Like a tall. Yeah. I feel like slowest runner, once. Trump fully takes over the country and the world with white supremacy, the, like, slowest runner will become, like, the number one Olympic event. It's going to be, like, racewalk separated by race. Like, that's what it's going to be.

I mean, that's kind of what the Olympics are already doing, right? Kind of. Yeah. God forbid, I throw a javelin in an official's face. That's all I say. Throw a little pee pee on them, you know? Yeah. Seems effective.

All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about some news, unfortunately. Sorry, Vince.

In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof,

why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, Listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. And we're back. And so ice agents seem to be realizing that they are hated by the country. In Minnesota, Trump has declared all-out war, and the streets of Minneapolis are crammed with ice agents, harassing and terrorizing people for standing up for their neighbors.

Francesca had a great piece of media yesterday where, This woman was just verbally dragging Bovino and his crew of ice flunkies. And they just all looked so sad and pathetic. Yeah. They were like, oh, nice language lady. Yeah. I like when they do the cry bullying thing. Like, oh, you're being real nice to me now, aren't you?

The accent really adds to it. You just, like, dragged someone out of their car for trying to go to a doctor's appointment and like cut them out of their car. And then you're going to be like, there's no class in this country anymore. Nobody's nice to me. Yeah. We're in a bad spot when like the gardening grandmas know the name of the head

of like a federal law enforcement agency. Like no one should know that person. Like we should not know that name. We did find out. He tiny too. She's like, I'm a normal height. Really? Wait, how tall is he? I don't know what he's officially listed as, but he,

she was like this motherfucker is small look at him here come you're gonna come close to me come real close and like he was coming up to like her that is so funny ear essentially

and he's like oh real nice real nice anyways a journalist Ford Fisher pulled up on a group of agents in Minneapolis who were being tailed by residents blowing whistles

and saying things like you pathetic piece of shit you are not American fuck you loser, get fucked, loser, stuff like that. And they were like, first of all, you guys are like being really dangerous the way you're driving. Like these people who are like fucking running people off the road and pulling them through

their broken. They're like, please don't, please don't drive on the curb while I'm shooting you in the face, please. It's actually illegal for you to call me a bitch right now. I'm telling mom, I mean Trump. Yes. Yeah, you're really creating a. a lot of chaos with your reaction to our violent attacks on people at random while wearing masks.

Do you have a hall pass to be here right now? Yeah, exactly. One agent is like the most sad boy of all time. He's really sad because he got hit with a bottle of piss. Apparently, he's never been to a good punk show before. But the way he talks to be. That was R.M.'s first name or before they came up with R.M. With jars of piss.

Was it? Yeah. Yeah. It's really not a good fit. They made a good move. Like, if they've been called jars of piss, and then they released losing my religion, so people would be like, really?

We need it. Like, you know, it's called a Molotov cocktail when you throw the bottle filled with gasoline. Like, is there, there's got to be a name for the one that's filled with piss. Ask the French. Am I right? The fucking French. But, yeah, I just want to play this clip real quick.

Because he really does sound like, like a child telling on like a sibling. He's like, do you see who threw a bottle piss at us? Any of you all happen to see who threw the bottle at us?

And you all happen to see who threw the bottle at us? Hey, any of you all snitches? Any of you want stitches? No, I was filled with piss, so make sure to write that down. It's filled with piss, so.

be sure to write that down. You guys think people are being nice to us. The bottle is full with piss. I love this journalist. Hey, sorry, real quick, quick, quick, hey, sorry, buddy. First time, long time. Yes, if you want it, all this is all piss.

Here, get a close-off. The journalist, of course, is like, you're not going to shoot me in the face. if I come up. I'm showing you all this. Somebody threw a bottle of piss and all inside the vehicle too. And all over me.

And all over me. I'm covered in piss right now. That's the peaceful protesters. You think you're so peaceful. They threw piss on me. Can't be running red light. And then they start getting mad about people tailing them and running red lights.

And it's like, well, you're probably driving evasively. Like you're being tailed. and then being like, they ran a red light, not allowed to do that. How do we tell him he smelled like this before the bottle, though? Yeah. It feels like a step down to accuse them of like, you know, disobeying traffic rules after they just got done talking about the piss that they got thrown on him. Right.

Look, he threw a piss on me and he like he totally, he sort of rolled through that stuff. He rode through that stuff. Right. But he's like, you could actually hurt people. and obviously we suck shit and like we're fucking we suck shit we're fucking less than human but people are actually allergic to piss

not me but like you could really hurt someone if they're like you could run you could tee bone somebody if you ran through more red lights but so it does see I feel like the lesson here is that rhetorically they don't have an answer for getting pissed thrown at them because he just he's so dejected

defeat it like his brain is just trying to understand what he did wrong as an agent of state violence suppression and terrorism to just get his brand new tactical LARP outfit soaked in piss. It's hard to land a good burn when you're covered in piss. Exactly. I thought that was actually regulation wear under Trump, you know, because he loves that shit. He does.

That's allegedly, allegedly, I like little piss play. I don't know the Russian word for it necessarily. And then, yeah, they're full of piss. Be sure to write that down. Like, there's going to, like, this is going to change. The man's holding a fucking camera. And he's like, right, put it in your notebook. Yeah.

Yeah. Make sure people know I got piss on me. Yeah. And I kind of liked it. Yeah. And could you, like, ask somebody what's, like, is there a word for that that I kind of, like, fucking was really into it? Yeah.

And it's just funny to see. He wasn't wearing a mask, too. Show my face. Let them know this is the face of getting splashed with piss for being part of the Gestapo. They're just in the splash zone. That's not our fault. This is what we're doing in the streets every day. Okay.

That's just a traditional Minnesota greeting. Yeah. You guys don't know because you're not from here? Yeah. You should be, did you not get your official tarp? Yeah, it's just like a Gallagher show, you know? You're in the splash zone, baby. Internal documents are indicating that ICE agents are scared,

that the murder of people in the streets is going to cause a backlash. There's a real woes me energy to this video and just some of the reporting, at least. You just know that they've already started a dating app. Like, there's no way they don't have an ICE agent dating app right now. that's the first thing they start when they realize they're like rejected from humanity it's just it's that's why you join

it's sort of like being in band in high school you know it's like you know you're not gonna you know you're not gonna get any of the good dates but like you get in a you get in a tight knit group of your own and then you all have sex with each other that's the right ice agents are like you know that's probably what's going on up there

yeah if I had to guess but this uh leaked document from Ken Clippenstein Not that leaked vint. We do have personnel, but some just don't want to go about being deployed to the streets of Minneapolis. There might be some immature. Being deployed to the streets of Minneapolis is such a funny sentence to me.

Look, I joined this to kidnap brown people. I didn't hear there was nothing in the application process that described getting pee-thrown on you. This is like when Utah missionaries are like they're going on their mission and some go to like Ecuador and others go to like Kansas and you're like fuck my papers. How do they determine that by the way? Are they like drafted into that? Yeah, it's like they open their papers and it's like a big party and they find out where they're going and then they have to go to like if they have to learn another language, they have to like go

to like a training camp or whatever and then they learn the language there like during like a three month period or something like that before their mission. I think it's actually it's like the magical. Do you remember the movie? wanted where there was like the magical loom that uh squiddot people's names they have that in the mormon church it's the same yeah it's the magical loom actually that makes that makes the magical underwear it's that one that also tells you where you're going exactly yeah and like converts eli v zel you know it's all the same loom it is interesting to re-contextual that like all the people that was like the Mormon people who were like hey brother have you like come on over here

You want to learn about the Church of Latter-day Saints in, like, Dayton, Ohio, probably not the best and brightest they had to offer. No, I know. I don't know. Send them to the Dayton Mall to see if they can bring some people in. My cousin got to go to Fiji, and I'm here at Columbus, Ohio. And they have to be like, it's God's plan. Yeah.

I always felt bad for, like, because I grew up in Utah, so I looked at those kids as, like, my friends. So like whatever I was, you know, in my master's or whatever, and I'd see these missionaries. I'd be like, oh, I'm from Utah. Like, where'd you go to? Just because I felt sad for them that they were like sent away from their families. Right. And then eventually they'd start talking about Jesus.

They're like, well, you came to me and we love talking about Jesus. And I'm like, this is why I don't fuck with you. Right. Oh, you didn't know this about Jesus? I was trying to be a human being. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. Like, part of this makes me feel.

good part. Like, there's also reports being like, they can't get anybody to volunteer, and so they're just having to send, like, the lowest on the rung people. Where did they send Dean Kane? I want to know. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. Where have they sent him? I feel like to entertain that, like, the way they sent Marilyn Monroe to entertain the troops in the Korean War, they're just sending Dean Kane to, like, do a strip tease for the troops because that's the best that they can get. He's just out there running lines from whatever. What the hell was this show even called?

Superman. It was Lois and Clark. Lois and Clark. Do you think Piss is his kryptonite? But like people are like, dude, now we're sending like the worst people there. Like we're sending volunteers right out of training, which is presumably a six second speech that's like ever shot a gun before and then showing them how to like switch off the safety. the six weeks at a holiday and express where they're like, this is how

you buckle the straps on your Kevlar vest. They're like, how do we make police training worse? That's what we meant by reform this. Right. What if we took it down a notch? From this Ken Klippenstein doc, keyword is, it's

on a voluntary basis, the Border Patrol agent said, if no experience, senior agents step up, they send the new guys straight out of the academy. Not a good idea. which yeah that sounds that seems bad that's probably why we're seeing all these agents slipping on ice and having their gun go off and shit excuse me um have you passed the whoop woo woo bo boop woop what test we're gonna need you sit to stand sideways on the floor and run in a circle please sir right

we're gonna need you go down that slide in boston that police officer went down do you know what i'm talking about the line right like shot out yes it's your first I'm still trying to like figure out exactly what the physics are on that because you like I've, you know, Jamie Loftus on 15 minutes of fame or 16th minute of fame kind of did a story on that and made me curious and I like went and looked at people recreating the Boston slide thing. And some of them come down like it's a normal slide and some of them are fucking like it's a warp drive that just like fires them out of there like it's a t-shirt can.

I think it tells you if you're going to hell or not and that's just people going really fast are going to hell. Like I'm sure it has something to do with the like material on your clothing and like there's some material of gravity like yeah yeah. Like it just has no friction with whatever they made the tube out of. But some people it's just like holy shit.

They come out going like 75 like backwards. Yeah, I laughed at that and then a few times. I've, like, taken my son to various playgrounds and, like, you know, he's hassling me to get on the slide. And I've definitely felt like the slide cop a few times where the slide was very much, like, not designed for an adult man. Yeah, yeah. You come down, you're like, feeder in the wrong place.

Yeah. There's got to be a movie called slide cop coming out. Slide cop would be so good. I mean, and it is a tunnel. So I feel like you can do. He just jumps out and arrest people. Yeah, the total part, it's like, we, missed the tunnel obscured probably what would have been like the funniest part of that but it also

probably kept him makes it so great it probably like amplified the speed like the marble run game the surprise aspect of it is like the best part yeah you just hear the rattling rattling rattling and then like fuck yeah fired out of there that's what he's going to show his grandchildren he lost his gun in the tunnel and then like in 30 years it's just going to fire out of How amazing it would have been if he went in there and lost his gun and somehow got shot with it and then just like a dead guy was just fired out of there at 100 miles an hour. Just bleeding out at the bottom of the flies. And then like a bunch of cops go in to figure out what's happening and they all come out. Yeah. Who investigates that?

Oh no. Oh no. But I will just say that the guy who murdered Brunet Good was a veteran. So throwing untrained recruits out in the streets seems bad for everyone. I don't know. Also bad for them, for their ability to achieve whatever fucked up objective they're even for? Yeah. Throwing highly trained guys that wants to want to do the same thing. Yeah, I feel like, I don't know, they seem desperate. There's also stories where like an online journalist applied to be an ice agent. They, like, despite being overtly like anti-ice and on social

media and everything and like critical of the trouble administration and like as she was like hitting submit on the thing like she got an email that was like welcome to ice yeah is that the solution is that we all have we all apply to ice we have to all apply to ice and then it'll be like that scene in brave heart where the like irish guys are supposed the irish mercenaries are supposed to charge the lines and then they end up just like high-fiving whoa fucking spoiler dude what the fuck yeah yeah yeah I mean, yeah, we had, we were, Brian the editor had a good pitch that we just try and get Zaykang all to apply to ICE. And then we use the signing bonuses for like a mutual aid fund. Yeah.

But apparently the signing bonuses take two years. We were looking into it, but the signing bonuses take too long. That's the only reason. Yeah. So I think we're going to have to rely on a public campaign from like K-pop fans to tangle up the works. Like, is it illegal? I know you're not supposed to impersonate, like, federal officers, but how do we know? Like, at what point do we just not show up wearing masks and, like, you know, walking around with paintball guns or whatever I feel comfortable with?

And like, just if everybody dresses like an ice agent. Yeah, if we all dress like an ice agent, how can they stop us? And also, like, some of the- terrifying for everybody. Yeah, 100%. And also, like, it would be the purge. But also, like, so many of them are, like, Latino and, like, speak Spanish. So, like, you can't go off of accent if you're wearing a mask, you know?

Yeah. It's a tough situation. That's my summary of it. Complicated. Complicated. Wow. That's Jack's version of going, that's crazy. Damn, that's crazy.

That's crazy. I forgot my recording device. Like, I sat down to record this show earlier this week. And I, like, realized that I, like, realized that I, left it at the office and I was just like, damn, man, that's crazy. To yourself. Yeah.

You're like, I don't have time for my problems. I used to like have a panic attack and now I'm just like, damn, I'm really stupid, huh? That's dumb as fuck. You're dumb as fuck for this one, Jack. You're roasting yourself. You're like, you stupid ass, bitch ass, ass, dumb ass.

That's usually what I do. But now I was like just kind of taken aback and admiring of You've reached the acceptance phase. Yeah, exactly. That's like me, like making stupid mistakes while driving. I'm like, well, shit. No looking back. Almost died on that one.

No rear view. I do like the response to like getting the finger while you're driving where you're just like, my bad, my bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I deserve that. That's, that's on me.

You could do both of them to me. I'd be fine with it. Yeah, I suck shit on that one. My dad, when I, when I was driving to the. the airport with him, just left me with it. Like, had a great week hanging out with him. And then he was like, you used to suck shit at driving, man. Used to be like real scary.

He's changed. Like, apropos, like, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He was like, come on, man. He used to be fun to be in a car with. I wasn't driving at the time. I don't know why. Wow.

Yeah, he was just like, he's like, I just wanted to let you know you are, you used to be a terrible driver. I was like, all right, cool, man. Anything else to that now? We were just bringing that up, old memory, cool. And you used to be a terrible father. I learned it from watching you, Dad. Yeah, exactly.

Let's talk Greenland, Greenland. I feel like, all right, we're going to talk about what it's really driven by. But I do feel like it's at least partially driven by that map, like the Mercator projection. Mercator projection, yeah, where it's like Greenland is fucking huge. And it's like, no, it's like the size of a big state. I mean, that's big to him. Yeah, exactly. He's just going off of the preschool level maps that they're using with him.

But yeah, so this is, in terms of having the attention of the rest of the world, America is killing it because everyone's like, he's going to like fucking invade everyone. So people are kind of wondering where this came from. because the strategy doesn't make any fucking sense. Like the people are like, well, you know, on Fox News, are like, well, militarily, it actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. And it's like, no, America has... Did they take a huge bongload before they said that?

Like, I feel like that's the kind of thing that you have to be coughing through a bongload to say. We already have a treaty with them to build whatever military shit we want in green. Like they, it doesn't make, literally it doesn't make any... treaty include America? Do we have a treat? Can we build America over there? Can we build?

Can we put a giant flag? Can we take a sledgehammer to their sidewalks? Is that allowed? I mean, most of the Trump stuff is like taking things that we were already doing quietly and being like, yeah, but why don't we just say it out loud? Right. And you're like, no, because this was a, you're going to torpedo NATO over a thing that, like, you can already do mostly.

Yeah. So it's amazing. It's also just like hilarious to me. like in a sad way, obviously, that like so many of them are like, I don't want to be American. I like my health care. And I'm like, I totally get it, dude. I'm so sorry. They're like, how can we make this quality of life far worse? It's fun to have an inability to pay for health care hanging over our head every day when we wake up. Yeah. Knowledge. Knowledge is geography is leaving their brain as we speak. They're like, maybe we are there.

Yeah, instead of ice, we should just have me, like, stand at whatever border when, like, the migrants come in. I can just be like, you know, I paid $22,000 for child care last year. Yeah. They're just going to, like, turn around and go back to wherever they came from. Yeah. Real good country you got there. We're going to make them, like, give up the metric system. Or just be like, we're going to make you do a system that doesn't make any fucking sense, guys.

Oh, my God. All right. Like, this is in the same realm as, like, I do feel like I'm in. the end stages of a coma where like my brain is like stopping working because like the mara Lago dog mask story and now this one just seems so dumb that like okay where why is he obsessed with greenland well it's because one of his oligarch friends is telling him it's a cool idea and that is Ronald Lauder heir to the S day louder fortunate like Ronald Lauder like that that is what I would come up with if you like gave me five seconds to be like I don't know how much beautiful.

for makeup we can dig up from Greenland. It's so much. It's nothing. I don't want to smell like Ronald Lauder. Right. But he's been horny for Greenland for ages, also horny for Ukrainian rare earth metals. And because... What does the guy from Estey Louder need with rare earth metals?

I don't know. Like once you have a billion dollars, you just like become... There's this thing. It's like a fucking evil symbiote that takes over your brain and you're just like, How do I like keep getting more of this until I'm my own country? Literally.

Yeah. But during his new renewed obsession with this is according to John Bolton, our favorite dude. Typical of how the president operates, Bolton said bits of information that he hears from friends, he takes them as truth and you can't shake his opinions, which I don't know. Did you guys see the RFK interview with Teenage Mutant Ninja Gerbils his wife? Katie Miller, where she's like, what kind of vitamins do you take? Like I guess her job is to like sort of wander.

I take vitamin C and I also am taking fish oil. He basically is like, I don't know, like I'll read an article and I'll start taking that vitamin. And then I'll like forget the article. And like six months later, I'm taking just like a fucking whole, you know, fishing tackle box of vitamins. and I don't know like what's going on or why anything's happening. And it just feels like that is... It's relatable.

Yeah. It's relatable. She did say that. She was like, you're like so many people. Which is why you shouldn't be in the position you're in. Exactly. You should not be relatable. Right.

No. You should be better than us. That does feel like the entire foreign policy of this administration is just driven by shit like that where they're just like, I don't know. Like, see, he talks to one guy and then because, he only trusts really rich people like Ron Louder. Yeah, it's like a commercial you saw during Alex Jones and half forgot that is driving your policy making decisions.

Yes. More like Ron quieter, you know, pipe down. Yeah. Get out of here. I wish we would Ron quieter. I know. Fucking swish, you guys. We nailed it.

And this is going to surprise you guys. Louder's policy suggestions appear to intersect with his business interests. As Trump has ratcheted up his threats to seize Greenland, Lauder has acquired commercial holdings there. Louder is also part of the consortium whose desire to access Ukrainian minerals appears to have spurred Trump to demand a share of the war-torn country's resources.

Do you think Nancy Pelosi is jealous that they're all playing on like a higher game field than she is? Like they're just higher level stock trading. Yeah. They are just, again, I think Vince, you said like, They're just doing out loud visibly the thing that we've been doing for years. Like, yeah, like, politicians have been learning information and, like, making money off

of that information for a long time. But now they're just like, what if we, like, fucking took up our cunt? Like, what if we just used our power to run the world and fucking bend everybody to our will? And it was like, no, they were already letting you do that before you, like, started openly insulting them. Yeah. So this is very unpopular for America to invade and take over Greenland. But only 86% of respondents are against the U.S. using military force to acquire Greenland. That feels low. Yeah, I wonder where these Greenland hawks are hiding. Right. It's like all billionaires who want the rare earth minerals. A Democrats are proposing a QR code that you can scan to say that you don't want to invade Greenland. That is so funny. We'll take over your phone. Give them access to your Venmo.

Democrats are demanding a pride parade in Greenland once we acquire it. But the EU is not taking Trump's words lightly. I feel like they might have been checking the prediction markets, which are like, we're definitely invading Greenland. Because France, a bunch of piss freaks, Sweden, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands are sending troops to Greenland to try and dissuade Trump and show solidarity with Greenlanders. Yeah, that's, I mean, again, it's just like over, upturning like 70 years of them kind of letting us do what we want and be in charge.

And it's like, it's all going to go, it's all going to be upended because Trump can't stop talking about how he wants to own Greenland. Yeah. Yeah. It's just he already can do, like America already could do whatever they want it. And we're using it for evil. And he's like, yeah, but I want to like brag about it. it. I want to be able to brag. Why can't I brag about that? Well, he goes in there like half ass. I mean, it's the same thing with Venezuela where he like

kind of thought like, oh, if we just go take over this country that has lots of oil, like, we'll get it. And then the oil companies are kind of like, the price of oil is not very high right now. It's going to cost us more to like. Yeah. And also we dig all that up than it will then it's worth it. That's the same with like immigrants and the economy. Like literally I was talking to a family member who was like, so crazy, but he was like, well, yeah, like if immigrant, if you're in line for something, like a job, and then somebody cuts you in line, that's bad. And I'm like, that is not how the economy works. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Right. I want to be the line leader. And if half of the people in class get taken out, I'm going to be the line leader more often.

Okay? Yeah. It's, none of it makes sense. It's all dumb as fuck and super dangerous. But it is, is, you know, it only makes sense in the context of white supremacy, right? Where it's just like we are going to show that we are the superior everything with violence. Why, what do you mean we? Clip that. Somebody clip that. We are going to do that, and I think it's good. All right. Let's take a quick break.

And we'll be right back. New year, new goals. And in this economy, a better money plan is more necessary than ever. I am Matt. And I'm Joel. We are from the How to Money podcast.

And on the podcast's health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed?

We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and to start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us, affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other.

Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity,

and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety,

and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening, to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved.

Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. And we're back.

Let's take a break from talking about Trump for one minute here and talk about Marty Supreme. which... I love it. No spoilers. I literally, I haven't seen it yet. My life has been chaotic.

I really want to see it. It's about ping pong. Oh, sorry. Dang it. Oh, what's the fuck? I'm hearing similar to uncut gems. Yeah, I heard it was chaotic. It's the uncut gems of ping pong in the 50s,

if that makes any sense to you. And it should. It should place in the 50s? Well, I guess I'm going to have to rip that page out of my notebook. I can't believe they took it. my idea. So there's something in the air of like taking a movie and it's like not a vampire movie. And then suddenly it is a vampire movie and it's still good because the sinners was like, oh, so good. But it was like, oh, wait, this is a vampire movie like halfway through.

Like I knew that because I had read about it. And apparently Marty Supreme one, it would have been really weird if they had done this after sinners. Like, after sinners was like, came out and is like, well, you know, an award frontrunner and, like, just turns into a vampire movie and, like, that's what's cool about it. If that, so the plan for Marty Supreme, and again, this isn't a spoiler because it doesn't happen in the movie.

But director Josh Safdi revealed that Marty Supreme was supposed to turn into a vampire movie in, like, literally the last scene. That is so funny. Like Michael Jackson Thriller, like, turning around. Yeah. If Michael Jackson Thriller had been about ping pong, to that point.

It was to me. It was in my world. In many ways. But there's a scene in which Kevin O'Leary's character says something about being a vampire in the movie, which is odd

but seemingly not literal. And then according to Safty, his original ending involved Marty as an old man, taking his granddaughter to a Tears for Fier's concert, only to be bitten on the neck by O'Leary who hasn't aged.

That's crazy. And the bite would be the last image in the movie. I think they should have kept it. And that's very begonia-esque, not to spoil too much about that movie either, but, you know, like, we could have had, like, a stew of Marty Supreme sinners and begonia all having, like, similar kind of endings. Yeah. I'm still unclear because, like, the first I heard about this was, like, from a profile of Kevin O'Leary, and it sounded like that was just

a dumb thing that he suggested so that he could get more screen time, basically. And I don't know if that was Josh Safdi letting him run with it at first or if it came from it sounds like it came from O'Leary but it seems like it's a little unclear at this point so it wasn't just from like some early draft they actually made prosthetics and digital vampire teeth for the scene and then

they that's so wild a 24 executives were like what the fuck are you talking about they're like why would that happen they made a strong case for artistic oversight in this one instance. I do, like, okay, you write and think about film. Like, I do feel like that is an underrated force.

Like, I've thought this since the prequels to Star Wars came out. It's like George Lucas's unfettered, untouched vision for what a Star Wars movie is. And, like, you look back at, like, the making of documentaries about the original trilogy. And he's like, these goddamn studio notes are killing. me. And then you get to see what his pure vision is like and he's like, Jar Jar is the key to it all.

Yeah. Jar Jar is just amazing. There's that famous recording of him and Spielberg talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark and George Lucas wanted like Marion Ravenwood and Indiana to have had an affair when she was like 12 or something like that. And Spielberg's like, I don't think that's a good idea

George. He's like, no, no. She would have been a little girl When she says, I was just a girl. Like, she was actually, like, a little girl. And we should dig into that. Yeah. Yeah. Studio notes are great also because you can just... In the Lost Ark, the age of consent laws were different.

Yeah, yeah. You can also just, like, get someone to back off their bad idea by being like, sorry, the studio doesn't like it. And, like, maybe by that time, they're like, yeah, it's a bad idea. So I can just be like, da-da, the fucking studio. Yeah. But, like, if it's just them... The studio is your parents and they're grounding you. Right.

need to see that there's a documentary about the making of Megalopolis, but that was another one where, yes, I heard about that. Where you watch Megalopolis and you're like, oh, man, someone really needed to exercise some oversight and editing on whatever Coppola's idea for this was. But apparently, like, apparently the documentary shows that there actually were too many cooks in the kitchen for that somehow. But I'll have to see that and figure out what's going on there. Yeah. But from the article in Variety, you're on his eyes. We built the prosthetics for Timmy and everything.

And Mr. Wonderful shows up behind him and takes a bite out of his neck. And that was the last image. And he hasn't aged,

Mr. Wonderful. Safty recalled that when A-24 read the ending studio execs asked him, this is a mistake,

right? You left in the wrong draft, right? You're just fucking with this, right? You're not going to actually film this. I like that he calls

him Mr. Wonderful. Yeah. Well, that guy's like, and then Michael B. Jordan, Haley,

Stinfeld, walk in. Right. yeah I don't know I kind of wish they had had kept it in although now that I hear that it's Kevin O'Leary's idea

I'm less hot on it I just I like the idea that he was just calling a Mr. Wonderful like the whole time like yeah yeah I mean that when he played Celebrity Jeopardy which is a good I love Celebrity Jeopardy

episodes where somebody is just revealed to be a complete dipshit and him and Wolf Lither are like on the Mount Rush more of that really? God, I can see that episode. Yeah, Mr. Wonderful.

He writes his name as Mr. Wonderful on the board. It's in his passport. Yeah. Just steer clear of them on the lake. All right. And then the other awards contender for probably next year's Academy Awards, but it's probably going to sweep all the categories. We've talked before about the upcoming Brett Ratner directed Melania Trump documentary,

which is getting a big screen release from Amazon, Jeff Bail. as this company reportedly paid $40 million for the project, outbidding both Disney and Paramount. And like, that's just the Hollywood equivalent of sliding a briefcase full of cash underneath the public bathroom stall. It's just like, here you are, sir. There's like a real chicken and the egg situation going on

with Ratner and Trump because it's like, how did Brett Ratner do to ingratiate himself to the Trump family so much that he got paid $40 million? for the Melania documentary and then got Rush Hour 4 greenlit because Trump basically decreed that we needed another rush hour movie.

I was going to ask, like, what stunts do you think Melania's going to do in the movie? Do you understand the word that is coming out of my mouth? We were talking before we started recording about this and the fact that it seems so strange that they're like this on board with Brett Ratner as like more Epstein Files stuff come out and like just his reputation is not getting better.

And I was like, maybe that's what he did to ingratiate him. Like, because as we're talking about, like, Trump has, Trump was saying openly behind the scenes, we can't release the files, it's going to hurt a lot of my friends. I just feel like he, he has a type, you know? It didn't seem like they had a connection other than the Epstein. Right. It's like, that's not a inhibit.

It's not a hindrance to being friends with the president. That's like how he picks his friends. Hey, you're a sex pest. I'm a sex pest. The list is just like their Instagram chat. Yeah. Wait, okay. He dated Serena Williams?

Brett Ratner? Yeah. Oh, my God. dated Serena Williams. He was sort of outed as a sex pest by multiple women. He emigrated to Israel. And he's friendly with Net and Young. There was one point where he was not allowed to direct movies for Warner Brothers, but he was friends with a billionaire.

And so, like, he had, like, this production, like a financing deal where him and this billionaire that he befriended were financing all these Warner Brothers movies that he wasn't actually, like, allowed to direct or producer anymore. And, yeah, and then he went to Israel. Then he came back and then he's directing the Malani documentary. Like something, many weird things are going on with. The trajectory of like so many. It's like you get outed, you become like conservative and friends with the rich. You go to Israel. Maybe you're a born again Christian.

You know, it's like. You become incredibly rich and successful. Like that's, gosh, getting canceled. The worst thing that can happen to somebody. I'm now approaching billionaire status. When reporters asked Donald Trump, if he'd seen the movie, he responded. I've seen pieces. of it, which I think is probably the most,

like I don't think he's ever seen a full movie. Like his favorite movie is Bloodsport, but he openly admits that he fast forwards through the non-fight scenes. So he's just, you know, a psychopath, psychopath behavior. I want to know what he's fast-forwarding through in the Melania documentary. Right. She's talking again. Getting to my parts.

Yeah. He's probably just going to the parts where he's trying to hug her. And she's like, oh, look, a fly. He talked about the premiere. He said, it's a very hard ticket. I can tell you everybody, Wayne Gretzky and his wife, Janet. He said last night, gee, I want to go. He doesn't talk like that.

But the movie is, first of all, everywhere in L.A. There's posters everywhere. Apparently, they're so bad at, like, kind of having an idea of their own administration and how it's being perceived that they're just like, this is the thing. This is going to break us. Wait, I want them to do the same thing they did with that Jarrett Morbius

where they release it a bunch of times and nobody goes to see it. And we're like, no, just one more release, please. It's just that the people weren't ready for the morb. No. They didn't know what time was morbin time. Right. Yeah.

I mean, can you imagine? Melania time. Can you imagine you're Wayne Gretzky and you're basically like Canada's national hero and, you know, like, you can't do almost anything to tarnish your legacy, but you, for some reason, you just can't help yourself trying to be friends with Donald Trump for some reason. Like, you got to be a real piece of shit. Like, truly.

To commit that sort of like public image suicide. It's really. Wasn't he the you miss, was he a you miss 100% of the shots you don't take? Is that him? Yeah. That's him. Credited to him. I'm sure somebody before him said that. Yeah.

It doesn't feel like a Gretzky original. but who knows. F. Scott Fitzgerald. Yeah, well, he had to take that shot. I think he stole it from that No Fear shirt that I had in sixth grade. Yeah, probably. From yours specifically. That's right, yeah.

He was a big fan of your No Fear collection. That's right. But he, so he's only seen pieces, but he says, I think it's going to do very well. She did a book, and the book was a big number one bestseller, and this is a movie. He's like, the book was becoming by Michelle Obama. People like movies more than,

books, less words to try and read. I've always said. Seems to be captivating a lot of people's attention. It's very, very good. I mean, you just do stuff like this, and it's all like a soft money laundering thing. Like, she puts out a book and people can just buy 70,000 coffees as like, you know,

a de facto bribe. I'm surely they could do the same thing with a movie that no one's actually going to watch. Every time I see that picture of her in the hat, I'm like, okay, ladies, now let's get information. Right. Yeah, she steals all her best looks from women of color. Yeah, and words.

And words. But like fucks it up a little bit. Be best. Ticket sales are thus far minimal to non-existent. It's not coming out until January 30th, but you can go look at pre-sales, pretend you're going to buy a ticket. The app gets really excited. They're like, holy shit, we got one, guys. And then, like, for instance, at Regal Times Square, the first showing has not had a single ticket sold, which, like, I'm sure that's true of some movies, you know, but like Iron Lung, which is a self-financed, self-distributed adaptation of an indie horror game made by a YouTuber is opening the same day and it's half sold out already.

It is doing a little bit better in one Florida movie theater that we checked. all the people that also have memberships at Mar-a-Lago that bought up like a month's worth of tea times there they spent all their money on those weird dog dolls dog faces yeah I do feel like they're going to buy a bunch of tickets to this like the administration is going to buy a bunch of tickets to this and we're going to need citizen journalists to go to the theaters that are allegedly sold out and like just show all the empty seats

because that is definitely what's going to happen. I mean, the curious part is like why they're working so hard to do this kind of money laundering when they already just like had a Trump coin and a Melania coin where it's just like we invented an imaginary thing that you can give us money for.

Like they actually put out like a real thing which seems like an extra unnecessary step between someone paying them money. But they do crave mainstream approval. That's true. Yeah, they really want to be like pop culture, kings and queens. Did you see the graphic that was going around where like Adam Carolla was playing the Kennedy Center? No.

That's insane. One of our great artists. Yeah, yeah. My ex-wife fucking sucks. That's just the name of his special. There's only two genders in the man show. Adam Carolla or Jimmy Kimmel. But so this is coming out on the same day is also Infinite I.

which is the a visual memoir about parisilton so it there's a chance that people start hyping it with like a barbenheimer milan finit icon lung it's just i'm still working it out but perrania piranha that sounds like a disease but piranha that sounds like a like a fish that'll go up your penis. Permanian. Melanus? Melanus. Melamfinite icon

iron. Nah. We're going to workshop it, guys. And then we're going to make these movies a hit. All right. Well, Vince, we'll have to have you back home once you've given Melania a glowing review in the Washington Post. Yeah, I see that.

First day. Can you see only? one in line. Wearing my giant hat. I'm dressing up for the, yeah, my big Carmen San Diego hat and trench coat. Vince Mancini, such a pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff.

Vince Mancini.substack.com. Vince Mancini on Blue Sky, Twitter. Yeah, all the normal places. Mancini, some movies. You telling you all. That's right. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? There is.

And if you're talking about, you know, social media specifically, I feel like I picked a bad one because, like, people were posting their favorite tweets from Scottish Twitter. And I'm trying to read these, like, without being able to do the accent. Oh, Scottish Twitter was so good. Well, so I had a couple from this if you want to, if you want to hear them. Yeah. I do. Yeah. The first one is, me ma had a go at us for using too much toilet roll. Well, I'll just leave my ars caked and shite to save you an extra one pound 50, you fucking weapon. fucking weapon What does weapon mean in Scottish? I don't know but I love it Another one Just got four drinks at the drive-thru And that guy asked Do you want a cup holder?

Obviously I do you fucking reprobate I'm no a fucking octopus And finally Why do folk ask baby stupid shite Like you're getting big aren't you As if the weak cunt's going to be like I, Moira, you're spot on, I am on the protein that one I did not keep up with

it's hard when I'm doing the accent I know yeah you kind of locked in on the accent at the end I got to say well done but then it got worse to harder to understand so yeah well you know such is the sky life I feel like they should have the the term for piss play you know yeah they probably do and it's probably

it'll sound like really I feel like it'll you know how it'll have like a strong mouth feel you know what I mean You won't know what it means, but it'll sound cool. Like when Trump visited and some guy was holding up a sign that said, let's call them like an absolute roaster. Yeah.

Palvi, where can people find you? Is there a work of media? You've been enjoying. I am at Paula Viganalan, P-A-L-A-V-I-G-U-N-A-L-N, everywhere except for Blue Sky where I got Paula V.

Come do it. The work of media I'm enjoying is the new season of traitors. That's my, I have to catch up on heated rivalry, but that's my heated rivalry right now. It's like I'm obsessed with all of the everything. there's like one guy from Love Island that everyone's in love with. The housewives are like this close to fucking everything up. It's amazing.

I'm in love. So it's just in their taste in reality start. Like their tasting contestants is just omnivorous. It's like anybody from anything. So it's the best show because they have, it's like you have challenges. You're trying to figure out who's a traitor, who's killing people at night.

Alan Cumming is serving looks. It's amazing. And then yes, it's amazing because they, whole reality stars who are like, there's gamers, and then there's just like random, like there's house,

ooh, and there's also Michael Rappaport. He's literally pissing everybody off, and I hope he dies soon on the show, allegedly is what I have to say. Okay, but he, so there's like, it's really fun because all the gamers are like really strategic and cutthroat, and they're like, okay, we got to do this and this.

And then the real housewives are like, um, I didn't like how you rolled your eyes at me. I'm voting you off. Right. And then they fuck up everything for the gamers. It's amazing.

You have to trade in shade on that show. And the gamers are also like famous in their own right. Big brother, survivor. Like, winners from these shows who are so like

incredible. No, that's what I'm saying. The housewives fuck it up for everybody. It's like chaos. Like they're like, I think, I think this person. did it because they ate their sandwich weird at breakfast. They're doing like psychological.

And they're right every time. Yeah. That would be amazing. Did they ever put a normal person in like we're suggesting for the Olympics? The first season, they had normal people. The first season, it was all normal people. And then it became a successful show. And then the second season, they just were like,

fuck normal people. But I think they actually did a casting call for normal people again. So maybe in season, in the next season, they'll do that. I think they just like, a mixture, you know? No, that's what they had the first season. And it was incredible. That's so great.

They had Travis Kelsey's mom on this season. And, like, she, everybody's like, I don't know, she just seems so, like, devious. And she's just, like, fan-girling over everyone. She's just like, she's like, I'm, I can't believe. What's her angle? Yeah. Why she's so nervous around us. Yeah.

I'm like, that's a mom, dude. Yeah. Work media I've been enjoying All-day astronomy tweeted Nobel Prize winner physicist Roger Penrose says the Big Bang was not the beginning of our universe rather it was the end of the previous one and microplastics Epicurean tweeted

This actually occurred to me at age 20 after I ate a bag of mushrooms and took 20 bongrips but I'm glad they're finally doing the math That's yeah Bagonia Bologna 2025 You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien on Blue Sky at Jack O'B the number one.

We also link off to a song that we think you might enjoy. With Miles Out, we like to ask super producer Justin Connor,

is there a song that you think the people might enjoy it? Yeah, this is called What You Need by Void and Baby Boy. The beat on this track is a fun mood that's like a fusion of mid-aughts R&B with like a little splash of G-Funk on the synth lead. But there's like a modern twist because the vocals sound like they're from Playboy Cardi or something like that. This is from a Parisian artist, but I don't believe there's any talk of piss play in here, unfortunately. But if you play this song, you might not be pissed.

So this is called What You Need by Boyd and Baby Boy, and you can find that in the footnotes. Footnotes. The Daily Side Kid is a production of IHeartRadio for more podcasts from Eye Heart Radio.
