Listen on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Nora Jones, and I love playing music with people so much that my podcast called Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical styles to play songs together in an intimate setting.

Every episode's a little different, but it all involves music and conversation with some of my favorite musicians. Over the past two seasons, I've had special guests like Dave Grohl, Lave, Mavis Staples, Remy Wolf, Jeff Tweedy, really too many to name. And this season, I've sat down with Black Pumas, Alessia, Kara, Sarah McLaughlin, and more. Check out my new episode with John Legend. I feel like, in a lot of ways, our careers are paralleled in some ways,

but they just never intersected for some reason. I know. We should take it slow. We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way you go. Listen to Nora Jones. is playing along on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

on the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of trend nomina We'd also accept something like a trend nominamina

Yeah The trend nomin Not courtesy of Nick Semper Taranus. We were just talking about how maybe we don't have to give up the old ditty at like the old bad boy stuff. Starting it off like that is very odd.

Maybe we don't have to because he actually wasn't involved in it. He didn't make that music. He didn't do a fucking thing. He didn't do shit is what we're learning. I mean, everyone knew he didn't have a musical bone in his body but like I'm sure you probably saw that

clip of Mark Curry where he talks about the Come with me, Godzilla's song. I was like, close your eyes. No surprise. Come with me. And like Mark Curry wrote that song and he's like, but then Diddy got in the scene. He was like, don't want my eyes. Close surprise.

Close my eyes. And he's like, it took us eight months to record that first. But anyway, bad, fuck it. Just all bad, bad instincts. Yeah, because that was one of those things that even before the documentary, there were always these clips of P. Diddy's un, unaltered vocals from. from recording sessions, and you were to like, oh, he, he's on drugs. He's on drugs the whole time.

Yeah. The whole time. Yeah. And it turns out he was. Yep. We're far off. Um, all right. My name is Jack O'Brien.

That over there is Miles Gray. This is the episode where we tell you what is trending on this Wednesday, December 17th, a mere eight days out of Christmas morning. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and, oh, and, oh, shit. Miles just ran out of the room. Miles sized hole, mile shape hole in the wall.

Uh, you. you get your kids gifts already yeah yeah we're well so we gotta be down in florida so we're like sending stuff down there it's oh so it's like shit that like you can't really it's like stuff that can't i know it's tricky on the way back because it's not gonna ship and you know how like i'm real christmas magic like want them to have a great christmas morning but my wife's like we're not getting them that they're not gonna want to bring that back in a suitcase and just like real you know nuts and bolts about it and Makes sense.

She's right, but I, I'm sick with it. You're like, oh, but what if we put straps on the power wheels and we call it a bag? Maybe they'll let us on with it. All right. Let's talk about some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday morning. We got to bid adieu to one Dan Bongino. God, he's gone. It turns out that being just whole.

unfit for the job of deputy director of the FBI is a quick way to not have that job anymore. But also working for Donald Trump in this era, I think. Yeah, it looks like his ass is grass. The Times are recording... Yeah, exactly.

To quote the song. Oh, we did. Yeah. I mean, we're at... The latest in the investigation into the Brown mass shooter is that they've like, we've got a got an enhanced image of the shooter

and it comes through and it just looks like an image from like a captia where they're like is there a bicycle in this? Like the one that looks humon in here. Oh, cool, cool. Yeah, uh, the looks from of the time said Bonino has said he has plans to leave his job

as soon as this week or his late as mid-January. So that's where I'm like, okay, what's usually you know when you're out. A lot of people point out like he's always like this, but this probably feels like it's happening because, well, one's sign it might be sooner than rather than later. Mr. Bonjino has been sending office, knick-knacks, paddy wax, and other possessions back to Florida, where he intends to resume his lucrative career as pro-Trump media broadcaster, just in time for the midterm elections. Oh, hell yeah. Welcome back, brother. Welcome back to the podcasting fold.

And that's sad. I guess just great example of a MAGA fuck wit that flew too close to the deep state. His whole career was about getting people hopped up on Epstein conspiracies. And then he just only ends up being the guide who had to be the deep state and be like, nothing to see here, folks. Nothing to see here. And just like shaking. And yeah, well, good luck to you, Dan Bonjino.

It's like they put Candace Owens in charge of the prosecution of Charlie Kirkson. assassin and she was just like actually nothing to see here nothing to see here it's this whole other thing that oh god what i was i was way off do you remember this song by this comedian musician nick let's go where he said i want to be at the rnc with damn bonjino it's like this was the thing that created just everyone needs this song all right i want to see patricia mccas well wait that was the lady from st louis from st louis from the 2020 holding the gun

like real loose in her hand I want to sit with damn bonjino this is just oh man what a time

to be alive but anyway so he's out just we just don't know we'll be this week or we'll be mid-January because it depends on how long it takes

him to get his like big commemorative trophies or whatever the fuck out of there yeah and like we've talked about like

the intentional incompetence, the designed incompetence that is the Trump administration's platform of like just putting incompetent people in positions of power so that they have to be loyal above everything else. And then it creates chaos and bad things happening, which allows him to grab more power.

But like that, it's also just a byproduct of that is that everybody, since nobody's focused on doing their job, because that's just like out of the question and they're not going to be good at it. Everybody's just sniping each other. And, like, Kattele is just like, I got to tell you, this Brown thing is no good.

And it's fucking Bongino, man. This guy's stinking up the works. Am I right? He was just on fucking Katie Miller's podcast yesterday or the day before. Like, I don't know when they recorded it, but like, in light of the fuck up at Brown, the fact that you're on Stephen Miller's wife's podcast with your girlfriend? No, no, Cash. Cash money, really?

Cash money, millionaires. Oh, was he doing that with his girlfriend? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's just a clip of him. Good timing. Good timing. He kind of gets emotional about, like, people talking shit about his fake relationship.

On a personal level, of course, I wish we didn't have to deal with the attacks. Like, she should be out there touring and crushing it on the country music stage, as she always has been. And she shouldn't have to deal with the collateral consequence of just being the FBI director's girlfriend. but I think with the hypersensitive nature of the media especially the social media space people come at you because

it takes me back Is you a fascist? I mean what do you want to what do you say? He's talking so different. He also has that mic like inside his mouth that shit like bro take a sip of water just put a fucking mint in there you can hear his mouth opening and closing

how is this a podcast and you guys have the fucking clip on TikTok street interview Lavalier microphone right why don't you have where are the fucking microphones but anyway uh i just wish that like people didn't like judge our relationship because like the social media environment is toxic because like i'm a fucking fake ass cop and like i don't know what the law is even though i'm actually literally a lawyer an unsolved major shooting that's happening right now that yeah uh we totally fucked up and lost a day of the investigation because we arrested the wrong guy based on absolutely

no evidence, and that's kind of my M.O. And then, so we do that, the killer gets real comfortable, and then their dad turns them. Yeah, exactly. That's my method. Just lull them into

a false sense of security, and then hopefully they let it slip in front of their dad who's a detective. Or hopefully works at the FBI. I don't know. That would be, man, wouldn't that be sick? Wouldn't that be sick? If it was like Bonino's kid or something. We do have the ratings, the official ratings for that Erica Kirk special special,

which we talked recently about how the views on the YouTube, we're looking pretty light, but that's never been CBS News's strength, right? CBS News is like old people still tuning in to the linear, you know, CSI. They had JAG back in the day. This was, yes,

this is for the old people. Yes. And they were blowing it out on CBS. Like they, the lead in was that Army Navy, uh, football game, which,

you know, that's, that's their bread, that's the bread and butter. And people who were like, I want to hear from Edgar Kirk. Like, what is,

what is this going to be? That feels like a perfect setup where it's like, if you're passively watching the army, if you're into the army navy game, Right. Probably a good chance if you heard an up next, this freak show. Yeah, yeah. You'd be like, all right, well, I guess I don't have to turn it off now.

Yeah, yeah. So very hype. You know, they tweeted about it over the weekend more than the Bondi Beach mass shooting, more than the Brown mass shooting. This was like, they're like, yes, those are stories, but this is history. Get ready. And the ratings came in, and it was a quote, total bomb.

Oh, God. Oh, God. No. The show average 1.5 million viewers, which is a 20% decline in viewers compared to the year-to-date average for that time period. So it's not just like 20% below their last major media spectacle. It's 20% below what's normally on at the worst time slot of the week, which is like very late Saturday. what usually runs there that they didn't even get close to

was the third hour of 48 hours the TV show like in presumably mostly in reruns and in the 25 to 54 year demographic which with CBS there you know everybody actually wants like 25 to 35 or 44 but with CBS they're like we're actually interested in 54 they really stretch it out to try and make it as wide as possible I mean, to be fair, they got money, so...

Yeah. In that demographic, the ratings tanked 44% to just 237,000 people watch that shit. So people were like, get this shit off my team. Yeah, it had a higher lead in than usual. Oh, right.

Which is like the most important thing in TV. You have, you know, people are watching it linearly. So, you know, that's why they put like the big new shows that their debut. And they put the debut of Survivor back in the day right after the Super Bowl because like you're just catching people who like leave the TV on and then they're like, oh, what is this? As mentioned, they had the Army Navy game. So people were just like actively fleeing to avoid watching this shit. It wasn't just like they

had a bad time slot. They had a good time slot and people got the fuck out of there. They're like, no, thank you. It was a big no thank you. Probably ingested about 10 minutes total of it. yeah and that was i mean my like my nose started bleeding because of like the psychic damage that was happening um as i was watching it so oh man well hey barry look you got a you got a big project over there you got your word cut out for you give your best because nobody's fucking with cbs that's right um do people yeah like it she feels really like a media creation to me like she was just a thing that everybody would like she obviously is able to get people talking by saying wild shit.

But like the thing she does is she like says things that offend the sensibilities of, you know, normal people. And it makes a big stink with normal people. But it's not like she's a person who has a huge following among like right wing people, right? Oh, right. Like you're talking about like a, like a celebrity. Yeah. She's not like, she doesn't have like a YouTube channel with 10 million followers or anything.

Remember her fucking university thing? That shit fucking tanked too. Yeah. She's just like, sailing upward. I think she's one of these people who, because of her proximity to all of these like oligarchs, she does really well in the room with them.

And they're like, you know what? I can trust her. I can trust her. We're on the same page. She's down to oppress the same people. She's down to keep the same sort of like rigid structures of oppression intact. Great.

Now, with that money, let me put you as the figurehead here because you can, you're useful, you know, she's, I think she's useful. And I think also because of her presentation, she can say like odious shit and most people like aren't like, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about the home alone house and, uh, Bing, Bing, Bing.

Oh, yeah, Donald Trump's favorite, favorite ad lib these days. Ooh, and the new Melania trailer just dropped. We'll be right back. listen to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? And what is this? How is that not a story we all know? What's this you? Where is that?

Why is it wet? Boy, do we have a show for you? From Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players comes Crimeless. Join me, Josh Dean, investigative journalists. And me, Roy Scoval, comedian, as we celebrate the amazing creativity of the world's

dumbest criminals. We'll look into some of the silliest ways folks have broken the laws. Honestly, it feels more like a high-level prank than a crime. Who catfish is a city? And meets some memorable anti-heroes. There are thousands of angry, horny monkeys.

Clap, if you think, she's a witch. And it freaks you out. He has x-ray vision. How could I not follow him? Honestly, I got to follow him. He can see right through me. Listen to Crimless on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, everybody, it's Chuck and Josh from the Stuff You Should Know podcast, and it's that time of year again when we knuckle down to do our annual holiday episodes. We collected our best past classic holiday episodes and compiled them into a 12 Days of Christmas Toys playlist that the whole family can enjoy.

Hey, I'm Nora Jones, and I love playing music with people so much that my podcast called Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical styles to play songs together in an intimate setting. Every episode's a little different, but it all involves music and conversation with some of my favorite musicians.

Over the past two seasons, I've had special guests like Dave Grohl, Leveh, Mavis Staples, Remy Wolf, Jeff Tweedy, really too many to name. And this season, I've sat down with Black Pumas, Alessia, Cara, Sarah McLaughlin, and more. Check out my new episode with John Legend.

I feel like in a lot of ways our careers are paralleled in some ways, but they just never intersected for some reason. I know. We should take it slow with just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go. Listen to Nora Jones is playing along on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Who would you call if the unthinkable happened?

I just fell and started screaming. If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way. I said through you got 22 times. The police, right? But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help is the one you're the most afraid of? This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you.

I got you. I got you. I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable. Detective Roger Goloopsky spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence. This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Golooski, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the Girlfriends Untouchable on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back.

We're back. The Home Alone House was sold last year for $5.5 million. Oh, my God. Which is wild because the listing showed what the house looks like now. and it's like they've replaced the warm Christmasy vibe with like an ICU ward aesthetic. It's just like it's all white. I mean it just looks like they just did the standard,

you know. House flipper thing. House flipper thing. Paint everything white. And some gray flooring. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Just real no, no anything.

It's fucked up to, it's fucked up to look at that iconic staircase from the movie and it just be like this stairwell. barrel thing now. It's like beach home chic. They're trying to make everything look like a beach house. I was actually in the market for a $5.5 million house. And now that I see this, no thank you.

You're in luck because the people who bought it are re-renovating. They're un-renovating it. Oh my God. What? This time to transform it back to the way it looked in 1990. So presumably more color on the walls with the occasional splash of. fresh burglar blood. Oh, yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep.

But, okay. I like, I like the idea of, like, having this be just a house that looks like it did in home alone, just burning, burning electricity all through the night. What is, like, what's going on? Like, when you compare the photo from the film and the new one, like, did they just add an insane addition to the back? Yeah, or they knocked out a wall. Oh, it's like a kitchen or something.

Yeah, open floor. Yeah, yeah. Open floor. Yeah. You do things a little bit differently here. You just want to be able to see all the way through the house. You want... You want no privacy.

You want when a light turns on somewhere in the house, it goes on everywhere in the house. That's what you're looking for. I wonder if they're going to turn it into like a... Because I remember the few years ago, Airbnb, like you could go stay there for a night. Yeah, yeah. You could stay at that house and like it was sort of similar in styling. Probably. I wonder if they're like, they have it like as in a, they're like, yo, bro, we're going

rent this shit out. You don't mean people want to fucking... I guess it really only matters during Christmas. Right. I don't know. As we talked about in our upcoming holiday episode

where we rewatch Home Alone with Chris Crofton. Yeah. It did incredibly well in the lead up to the holiday, but then it like kept going. It was like number one at the box office and like fucking April. I guess if it was snowing, I'm down. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's Chicago. So it's always cold. All right. All right. From a past. Christmas classic to a new Christmas classic. They just dropped the trailer for

the upcoming Melania movie. Documentary is a total misnomer here. Yeah, yeah. This is they that seems to be like part of the appeal. I don't know, did you watch the trailer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck was like what the fuck is this?

It's a lot of clashing messages. Like they're trying to make it seem like she's like the guy behind the guy here. Like they show her like, walk in while he's you're behind this this one oh that's not a good look miss you're behind this so i think they also

recognize that because so there's one part where like she walks in while he's preparing a speech and he says my greatest legacy will be that of peacemaker and she interrupts and says peacemaker and unifier and then it kind of sounds like it does kind of sound like she's saying betrayer

because you can't really hear her but um i i did turn on the subtitles and it says unifier. That would have been sick if she was like, and betray her. I've got you on tape,

motherfucker. Like, that's how she got him. The way she interjected felt so forced. Forced and staged. Yeah. He's maker and unifier. Like,

first of all, okay, so you're in there like that to help punch up a speech, but you weren't even with him on election night? Yeah, they show her calling him on election night being like, hey,

hello, Mr. President. And he's like, did you watch? Did you see it? And she's like, I'll get, I'll catch it on the news, bro. That shit was fake as hell, bro. I think, I don't even, I don't even, I doubt that was even on election night.

You know what I mean? It feels like a thing. Because imagine if they lost and they'd be like, holy shit, babe, we have to leave. They're going to arrest everyone. I don't know. Like, what the, what were the vibes been like then? But it was just a bunch of hero shots like stitched together. It didn't.

There was really no, I got no feel for what you were actually. going to get from this in terms of like any intimate look at who this person is. It's all just like, you know, like sometimes the NFL will have like cinematic cameras. Like so you like see these like big swooping cameras coming in and like NFL films. It just feels like a lead up to the Super Bowl like NFL films thing where it's just these cameras like swinging around her as she like walks out. her Carmen San Diego villain outfit to the inauguration. And

that's the like opening. The cameras like swinging around and then she goes, here we go again. But it's not documentary sound. It's like she's been miced up on the set of a film. It's a full, it's just it's a highlight reel. It's not a documentary. It's a glamour shot

highlight reel with some words being said in between. She doesn't have pores as far as I can tell. That's one thing that can be said for her. She she's done it. She's done it. She got rid of all her pores.

You got to. I wonder if we'll see, I don't even know, but like, I don't, who's going to fuck? I mean, I know people are going to go to this.

It was so jarring to see the MGM logo at the front, like the roaring lion to be like, that used to mean something. Holy shit, but not since Bezos bought Amazon, but our MGM. But I saw the audience. I almost want to go to the theater just like on opening night just to be like,

who the fuck is? Just like sit down. under the screen with your back to the screen and watch people watch it. No, no, I wouldn't buy a ticket to that. I would just like hang out, just like at the door of the theater and be like, I mean, I guess I could just weird everyone out and just sit at the

just stand in front of the screen looking at them. Yeah. Oh, wow. Interesting. She doesn't, like, I could see if this was promising something where it's like you see her behind the scenes and she really like has a completely

different vibe from what you are used to seeing, which is like distant person floating through the background like a Dracula, then I could see that may be doing something because people are like, oh, so she's like an actual human, but this just gives off like 100% be best vibes. Oh, yeah. Like there's nothing here. She's just a cypher. There's like, and you're never going to see them at like, quote, at home.

You know what I mean? There was no. That's never happened before. I know what I mean? Like there's like, you won't even see, so like you're really only seeing the moments when they are really publicly presenting themselves,

at least in this documentary. Right. To the point where like, I'm like, I don't even, what is she? Does she wear a tuxedo at home? What is this family?

Always looks like she's in the putting on the wriths video. Yeah, exactly. Family reference. Um, all right. And then over to her husband. He's just continuing to be normal.

And again, just seem like a, child who want to make a wish thing where when he's talking about like a military operation he's not talking about anything with strategy or like broad perspective um he's talking about how cool it looks when the bombs go off yep exactly again i made it do that in many ways that's that's me i made it go ping ping i don't if i don't know if i said this on the show or if this is for one of the holiday recordings. But anyway, his whole speaking style is, I'm killing it, bro, and I'm bawling and you don't, none of you all have it like me. And in this one, he's hosting a Hanukkah reception at

the White House. And he's like, y'all, I got to tell you about my favorite movie I see at the new, my favorite new movie theater, the Situation Room. It's called bombing innocent people. All right, y'all, let me hear it from you. And here, there's, he's talking about how like, the plane is stuff and then it's not stuff anymore when they get the bombs come out. here's just unstealth when it goes I explained that

to Mark Levin once you're going in you go like this and as soon as it goes like this talking about a bombing a bomber the plane is totally visible not good

and I watched it happening and just it's like I'm sitting home watching it you know it's amazing the situation room is an amazing place I'm just sitting home like I'm watching what we would say like TV

I think he was going to say yeah like I'm watching like a movie like kickboxer Bloodsport. Oh, my God. He's doing him with his hands, and then the thing goes like this, which is, he's just doing how bomb doors open or like any bottom of a plane door, like the doors that open outward to let the landing gear down.

But I watched him go, bing, bing, bing, and two massive 100,000-pound bombs come pouring out. He goes on, he's like, it was the greatest military operations. he's like, because you dropped a bomb on a boat, like a non-combatant? Is that what he's talking about? The boat bombing? I'm pretty sure. Or no, but you know what? I think he might have been talking about Iran.

It's probably Iran. Yeah. That makes more sense for the Hanukkah recipe. So he was trying to keep it limited to like Israel, Israel stuff too, because Miriam Adelson was also there. He's like, she's giving me a lot of money, folks, $250 million. And she like whispers in his ears, like, she said, if I ran against him, give me another $250 million.

Wow. Yeah. I mean... Good luck with that. He's going to run again, I guess. Like, if we've learned anything from Biden, it's that you can't tell these motherfuckers shit. I'm sure they're probably trying to put something in front of him that's like, look, dude, let

JD take over and you will be protected. You will be you'll still be God. Yeah, but you think... Wait, like, it's going to, so they're going to need to blackmail him to get him out of there. And it'll just be, it'll just be a matter of, like, how bad the shit in the Epstein documents are. Right.

Where they'll be like, we'll hold this back. It goes out unless you agree to let Jady Vance move in. Yeah. Or, yeah. He's not doing that on his own volition. Like, Biden wouldn't do it on his own volition. I don't know. Jack, we have pretty good examples of the elderly empower letting go out of an appropriate time.

With their fucking fingernails still embedded in the thing that they're letting go. Like that's happening it, man. Yeah. Holy shit. So, anyway, bing, bing, wawi, it goes. He loves to say bing, bing, and this clip is starting to give me a sense of why, because, like, the crowd when he says bing bing is like, wow. Oh, wow, that's awesome.

I can't tell if they're, like, shocked, and that's what the reaction is, but he gets a pop from saying the doors go bing, bing. Yeah. Well, I think because that was, like, a little bit of seasoning on an otherwise dull and inane and meandering, senile monologue. Very presidential. Have you seen these things? The bombs?

They're so big. Oh, you've got to get a situation in a room. It's like watching a movie big where like a 12 year old inhabits an adult's body and is like the coolest part of the job is they'll like let me watch the Super Bowl during lunchtime.

He's just like, it's cool. You get to see the bombs go boom, boom, and the doors go Bing, Bing. Exactly. I mean, God. even like in the movie king ralph he like ended up on the better on the other side of it right the john goodman classic fucking classic dude uh and uh just on the subject of the epstein documents the they're apparently this is this is unprecedented uh trying to drop this shit when nobody's paying
