Beef meat juice Yeah so was Aju I know But Aju's got like I feel like there's more, like, the flavor is more complex and azou, like, maybe there's, like, some mirropoise, or something, some, some, a little bit more flavorful. There's some peppers going on in there. Beef flavor water, mate. Oh, it's just, there's no spice.

It's just beef water. There's no, like, seasoning or anything. Oh, mate. The cup of it was not good. Okay. I'll take your word for it. But Bovro is a thick, salty meat extract paste, similar to yeast extract, developed. 1870s.

I didn't know it was pasty. Okay, that makes it. Yeah, yeah, you put that and then you mix it with boiling water. Got it, got it. Yeah. I'm gonna, I got to try it. I need a better version because whenever the people talk about it, it sounds like something. I'm like, all right, here, I'm going to bring Blair.

The word itself sounds disgusting. Yeah, it sounds bavril. Yeah, it sounds like it comes from your gut or something. That's like, yeah. The bov definitely has to be bovine, right? And then. I get a bit of the bovine. Yeah, Mike.

Excuse me, did I hear you say Bovine? I know what that is, incredible. Hey, is that the old bloke from up? How you doing, mate? It's been a while. Literally, literally that is. That's the old bloke from up there with the glasses.

Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? Who catfish is a city? Is it even safe to snort human remains? Is that the plot of footloos?

of the world's dumbest criminals. It's called Crimeless, a true crime comedy podcast. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What were some of the memories from your USO tours? That nobody knew who I was. And they were like, why do we have to stay low to this guy? Recently on the Good Stuff podcast, we sat down with our friend Bradley Cooper to talk about his deep friendship with host Jacob.

He was there when I found out that I was going to have a baby. And how they've been there for each other through the hard times. And I was able to sort of walk Jacob through some stuff. I leaned on you real heavy. I think times that you knew and times you didn't know. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Dear Chelsea, Elizabeth Olson is here. I get nervous doing podcasts.

I get anxious that I'm going to say something that is going to offend people. But also, who gives a shit? That just goes to show you how silly it is. We all have to say this over and over to ourselves. Who gives a shit? I find that to be so satisfying as someone who is a fearful person. And they're kind of scared of everything.

an adult school shooter. The scariest type of angry where he doesn't realize he's angry. Yeah. Like a little tip, girls, if you see a guy and you're alone in the dead of the woods, yeah. Don't piss me on.

Yeah, exactly. I was like, I hate this. The fact that he framed it as a public service announcement. BSA. If you're on a hike. Which could also be like a public safety announcement. Right, right. No, exactly. If you see a man and he's licking a night Blade as he passes you on a hiking trail.

So you think he looks cute. If I'm in the middle of the woods and it's just me and any man, like the man could be the pope. I'm praying to live. It doesn't matter. It's a stranger and you're all alone. I'm just sorry. I don't trust anybody I'm meeting for the first time in the wilderness.

Doesn't matter who it is. That's not where I meet friends. Yeah. I'm not here to make friends, bro. I'm here to look at the earth. And if you, and you are way too fucking close to me. Especially if somebody has a lot tied up in like trying to

make friends in the middle of the woods. It's like, mm. Just peek at you could do this at a coffee shop. Imagine making a video about that. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. It's Miles Gray, okay. Oh, set of Phil, you look so much like my seaman. So I see you have some in your bedroom. Could it be that they use it in the movies?

And she was like, yeah, I guess it's interesting to me that setafil is the thing that's used as come in. Yeah, not that I've ever seen it before, but I mean, I can imagine it looks similar. What are you saying you've never seen before? Orne, Setafil, or a real seaman? That's private. I changed my mind. All right, yeah. Anyway, who the fuck is this?

Who the fuck is this in our third seat? It's a TDZ Hall of Fame or one of the very faces on Mount Zypmore, a brilliant stand-up comedian who you know from MTV, Comedy Central NBC, True TV, E.

Oh, what does? Like gay? Oh, shit. There is. It's your boy, Blair, back in the seat with Miles and Jack, ready to chew the fat, baby. Hey, always love chewing the fat. You know what I mean? Yeah.

You like cooking, do you like chewing fat, though? I do. I do. Unfortunately, I, the truth, if I'm not proud of it, but I love fatty meats. And that's just a fact about me. Same, same. I'll do the thing, too, if there's a lot of fat, like, on a piece of meat, I saved of fat so I can render it out later in the

cook eggs in it. Yeah, I love that. And I mean, those will be the best eggs you've ever had. Yep. And my doctor says, I need to stop. Right. You've got to stop, man. You're killing yourself. You're killing your family, Miles. Yeah. I've always

not, like, I prefer a lean meat, personally. I always feel like people that think that it's because they were raised that way and they haven't had enough fatty meat. And then when you try a rib-eye. You're like, what the fuck was I eating that other I had skinny meat for? I've had like real marbled

meat that then I like can't sleep. Oh. Just like so rich. My body is just like, oh, what did you do? Oh, so you have a delicate constitution. I have a delicate constitution. I have an iron stomach with regards to a lot of stuff, but not meat fat. Yeah. My mom was the shit you were talking about mild meat juice that they drink. Oh, bavril. Bovro. Yeah, Bavril.

Yeah, but there's not fat in that. It's just meat paste in water. Like, if there's pork belly on the menu, I'm getting it. Yeah. I think it's really bad for you. I don't know. I think so. Yeah.

Well, who's like, what, according to medicine or some shit? Yeah. Yeah. According to my body. According to my digestive tract. I don't know. When I vibe check pork belly, uh, it's scoring 100s across the pork. That's right.

One hundred. Sometimes when I get on my four years, four years, four years. you the carnivore diet will pop up on there because I do like steak and so I guess I accidentally like it and then I get more and more and more and then I'm like we noticed you slowing down you notice you trying to scroll past this and not being able to nice try asshole and it's like and it's like avocado and some strawberries I'm like that's a dream meal like if I had someone to make that for me every three meals a day I would eat that yeah I'm disgusting though I mean I love avocado one time I read the blood type diet though which I'm sure is bogus and I did have type

O negative which did affirm that I was a carnivore and specifically designed oh shit I think you are you're definitely specifically designed for sure but I also want to let the listeners know that I do feel guilty about it and ultimately wish I was a vegetarian but I don't see it happening in this lifetime but the intent is there yeah Blair we're thrilled to have you here We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to talk about a couple of the news stories that are happening. We're going to talk about that Donald Trump cabinet meeting. Yesterday, on trends, we talked about how he's so seepy.

He's so see. He just kept drifting off in the middle of the meeting. But he did come out with some very cool policy statements about this whole concept of affordability. So I guess it's a con job. Yeah, dude. Like it doesn't even exist. You're lying that you can't afford shit. You're lying.

Like you talk about it for a bit. They don't even know what you're talking about. So we're going to talk about that because he's really, he's, he's really at a place where it seems like he just says whatever the last charismatic person he was in a room with told him to say. Yeah. Or just lies. It's just like. Yeah. Uh, we'll also talk about Quentin Tarantino, who released his.

a list of the greatest movies of the 21st century so far. And speaking of people who just like who seem like they're going off of whatever just happened. Like this reads like a list of like the last movies he saw. It's just so random. Wait, Blair, why did your jaw drop at dimension of funny. Okay, okay, okay. I whatever.

I'm like fine on Tarantino. I enjoyed his movies and stuff. Some of them very good, whatever. His statement on Paul Dano. Yeah, That's what we're talking about, yeah. So then we're going to, as he's releasing this, he then just starts, so his number five movie is, there will be blood.

And then he's like, you know, there will be blood, could have fucked with number one or number two. If it didn't have a big giant flaw in it, and the flaw is Paul Dano, and then just goes in on him in the weirdest way that, there are some theories out there about what happened, what happened there. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about stealing baby Jesus, the new, the hot new craze. Benetrine, baby.

Yeah. In theft two, actually, so act three is going to be a bit of a bit of a theft block because we're going to talk about a hot new craze and stealing baby Jesus from the manger scenes outside of churches and then how to get away with theft, maybe. An idea. It's an idea. It didn't work this time. No, no.

Because otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it. But a guy stole a Fabrije egg and then. And his way of being like, nope, you're not getting it back from me is going to be recognizable to anybody who's ever had like a four-year-old or something. All of that, plenty more. But first, Blair, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I guess I'll just talk about it because we talked about it before, the age of disclosure movie. The age of disclosure movie. Currently the number one purchased film on Amazon Prime, I think.

Yeah, and it's also, like, out in theaters, which I didn't know. So this is about the disclosure of UAPs, UFO's, first contact material, which we were obsessed with for a while. I was obsessed with. I'm not going to speak for miles, for a while. And then there was that congressional committee meeting where the guy's like, yeah, man, like, we have aliens. We got them.

Right. And then I immediately became less interested. for some reason that I don't really understand. So this movie, this movie is a big deal. Yeah, it's a huge deal. I've seen it. I won't spoil it for everyone, but I will say it definitely changed the way that I thought things were.

I thought we were, I thought there was a bunch of care bears up there, just kind of looking down on us. Oh, no, it's scary aliens? It's not E.T. Well, it's because we fucked with them. That does sound like us, Blair. Otherwise, we wouldn't, you know, whatever.

Right, right, right. But it is really interesting because it shows, like, it really raises the question. It's like, why are they telling us now? Like, there's obviously strategy in why, because they reveal in all these people in the documentary who have been in these secret task forces for years and years and years. Being like, we're like, nope, nope. And then finally, they were just like, now the internet's a thing. Sure. I know.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, there's, there have been some documentaries that really fucked me up about this and, like, the history of alien sightings where you just, like, see over and over again these people who are like, otherwise respect. Like, they're like, yeah, I was a astronaut. I was like one of the first naval aviators. Yes. And, yeah, I saw so many UFOs is crazy, bro.

other than that, like, 100% this type of person you would trust, like the interviews with all these airline pilots who are like, yeah, every airline pilot you talk to, they know that there's UFOs all over the sky. And the thing, like the history of sort of that UAP activity around nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons testing and stuff like that made me always suspect that they were, like, watching us not just for entertainment but like cautiously is in like these motherfuckers

you're about to blow yourself up these guys are idiots that's what i thought yeah yeah but this seems like it's like maybe they're maybe they're losing their patience with us yeah and but it also seems like i mean i don't know i and look i don't know anything about anything but it's like we can't get to them like they can only get to us type of thing you know except for like when I don't know what these odd did like are you referring to that one documentary that happened in Brazil in like 1994 that was covered in this yeah yeah yeah that documentary was part of the I forget the name of the documentary I watched but it's like moment of contact or something like that I don't know maybe that's my my question has always been like I think the reason that it

didn't ever make sense to the military and why the military is like almost been watching it, but unable to make sense of it, is because they could fuck us up so easily. Like, if they have that technology, they could just fuck us up immediately. And that is their assumption on anyone who has, like, greater technological capabilities, you're, like, you're just,

they're going to immediately invade and destroy you for your resources. And so the fact that they haven't been doing that is there's like, what? We must not be seen. what we think we're seeing. Yeah, well, that's the very essence of the documentary. It's like, why would you pick a fight with someone that you absolutely no chance in hell

whatever when who can annihilate you? Yeah. And we're like, because it's all I know, man. That's the only thing I know how to do. I don't know. Just release the I've seen files for something also if you can. Thanks. Blair, what's something you think is underrated?

What something I think is underrated? Oh, sure. Oh, okay, orange cream, olipop. I'm really, I just got a flat delivered to my apartment yesterday. A flat to your flat? A flat to my motherfucking flat, bitch, yeah. Wait, what are we talking about? What do you say a flat?

Are you talking like they brought in a fucking pallet, like on a pallet or like 36 cans or some shit? Yeah, I was 12, but that's what I thought of thought would be. You had 12 rack? Okay, you got that 12 dropped off a flat. Wait, was your low end 36 miles? 36 is the most that I can conceive of. Is there a bigger size than that? No, but, you know, like, when you go to cost, like, or a smart final and it's on the cardboard under?

Yeah, it's like three, 12 packs usually. I just call them a flat because it's a flat cardboard, you know? Okay. But I just like saying a flat. I used to work at bars and stuff, so I'm thinking, like, catering amounts. But, okay. Good point. You're thinking at 36 or of Natty Ice.

Exactly. We've moved on, Miles. We're mature now. Actually, Milwaukee's best. It's the worst. Yeah. No, but I love all. pop. I shouldn't be talking about brands or anything like that, but it really does bring a sense

of joy to my life. And it's probably bad for you, but it does have eight grams of fiber, which is astounding since, um, I know in our country, apparently we're like majorly under fiberized. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so all the people are age, which is a very mysterious number that no one will ever know, we're having a lot of incidents early 20s of colon cancer because we've gone too hard on the protein route and not enough fiber. Yeah. That, yeah, the processed foods, too. Fucking, everything is protein fortified.

I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Protein Doritos. We're out here eating meat juice, chewing the fat. Oh, my gosh. But is Olypop also like probiotic, too? Is that like the same thing?

Like, because every so, it's like, bro, why can't we just drink a soda? I don't give a shit if it's probiotic, it's fiber in it, like, it's, you know. Well, don't get me wrong. I drink a lot of Coke Zero. and I feel a lot of guilt about it because basically they're like you're buying cancer in a bottle. But so then I try to mix in some healthier shit and I think I'll be a little healthier.

Water down. Do you know of Diet Coke? I recently got into a Coke Zero in the past year after being like a lifelong Diet Coke person. Wow. Because I went to on my grief sabbatical to Europe and they had Coke Zero and I was like, yeah, this shit hits. It's really good. It tastes really good. What's the difference?

Oh, Coke Zero tastes like regular Coke straight up. They taste very different. I was always like the guy who was like, I can tell the difference between Coke and Diet Coke. Like my sister would be like, all right, you have to, because she would drink Diet Coke and I would drink regular Coke when her kids. And I would like drink, I would be the taste tester to be like, no, it's diet. Obviously, you can like taste the difference. And Coke Zero, they got my ass, man. I'm like, this is, this is it.

You've done it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, bless up. Bless up. But shout out to Oli Pop. I agree. Like, their creamy sodas are, they're bringing the cream.

Really? Yeah, I agree. Really? Okay. Yeah. There's some nice flavor profiles going on there. I got some, we had company over for Thanksgiving and we got a bunch of, not a flat, a bunch of a lot, not a flat, a bunch of, not a flat, but. I know. Any time that they sell soda in four packs. No, that's violence. The fuck.

So annoying. That's, that's like, that's going to be gone in the car ride home. I know. Like, what are we doing? What is something you think is overrated, Blair? Well, I don't know if I said this or not on here. And who can say, really, who has the memory? But these loud car, when I am president, these loud car men will be in jail. This one drove by on my street yesterday that set off multiple car alarms and had a dog have a panic attack in front of me. And my autistic ass was so angry. I was like wanted to chase after that car like a crazy. You would have caught them because you people don't realize you're a D1 Act.

That's true. Yeah. T1,000 level C. I felt such justice for that dog. And like all, and then it triggered all these other car alarms where no one was around. And I was like, that's inappropriate. Why is that allowed? Yeah.

The worst. I'm guessing the driver was hoping that loud sound would beckon their father home. Yes. I've been missing for so long. Yet it's, Daddy, my loud car. I know. Make the, yeah. Well, you know, some people aren't.

Maybe if I'm driving by a house and he's in there, he'll come out and yell at me. Yeah. Tell me to quiet down. Some people aren't born with a huge hog. And then sometimes they have to go a different route in life. Is that true? Yeah. Some people aren't born with a large home?

Yeah. That's wild. Damn. I know. Okay. That's true. It's true. Miles.

I'm sorry. Miles's not laughing at all. This is my last time on the show. No, I might actually, I realize, I might have to cut the recording shirt because I have to go pick up my car. I'm just getting some of the exhausts. I'm having the muffler taken off. Throwing some fucking flow masters on my shit. Shout out to mufflers.

I didn't realize what we were avoiding with that simple technology. Yeah. Yeah, I do feel like loud cars is one of those things where not only do I feel like there should be laws discouraging it, but I do feel like we should be taking names just so that like once the revolution happens, we can just feel like. Don't worry. I've been compiling a comprehensive list of full with the license plate numbers. Yeah.

Identify, all sorts of things. So I think it'll be fine. So, Blair, when you are queen, they will be first against the wall. Yeah. That's right.

Absolutely. I have a lot of other ideas for laws, too, in case you guys want to know. I think you should go on Bill Mars show for that one. No, thank you. Pass.

But I was talking about mufflers And I guess that is a little misleading Because a lot of those cars actually just have Are artificially making that noise now Oh, right, right, right, yeah No, these men pay to make them sound like that Yeah, room, room, room They should just have their own voice amplified

Going rooom I did this gig in Vegas a couple of weeks ago That was private for a private poker like group or whatever and at the same time there happened to be this like annual world car shows like everyone around the world for and like for these really fancy cars and I look down in my hotel room I'm like what is that incessant buzzing and it's just these cars in the tiniest parting lots doing in the tiniest parking lot doing donuts for 24 hours a day and I like went on stage for the just in line waiting to do donuts I was so humiliated for them I was like these are

you know people whatever and I went on stage for the poker people and I was like are you guys I know I know you guys all lost and that's why you're here literally is for people who lost in the poker tournament yeah but at least you're not are you happy that there's a dorkier group of people here than you guys I know you're down thousands of dollars but nobody could be worse you could be those dudes yeah that at least get a lot appreciate that or were they like I actually I'm sure yeah people yeah I was even I was, and then I did a Raiders joke I was scared of doing, but they liked it. Oh, you did a Raiders joke? Yeah. No, I think, well, they're not even real fans over there, so I think it's fine. I know. Luckily, yeah, because I was scared.

Don't say any Raiders jokes in L.A. or Oakland, though. That's a different story. I do it all the time so far. Oh, well, then, you know. Just when you do it, make sure you say hi. And make sure you're in Kansas. To come up to you and say, why are you talking shit about the Raiders? Just make sure you say hi to them.

And also make sure you were in Kansas City Chief. gear. So it is as absolutely devastatingly as possible. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about this con job that's affordability. We'll be right back.

I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast. Are you a Charlotte? The most anticipated guest from season three is here. The tray to my Charlotte. Kyle McLaughlin joins me to relive All of the magical Trey and Charlotte moments. He reveals what he thinks of Trey giving Charlotte a cardboard baby. Why would I bring her a cardboard baby?

I was literally, I was like, this doesn't track for me at all. When he found out Trey's shortcomings. I'm kind of excited at talking about, you know, I think he's a guy spends time in Central Park. You know, he's probably, you know, he'll be some surgery stuff, you know. And I was like, all this kind of stuff going on. And they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine. And they said, but he's impotent. And I was like, he's impotent.

And why he chose not to return to it just like that. They came and presented an idea, and I was like, I get, I see it. It's so kind of a one joke idea. You don't want to miss this. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever listened 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? 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 Scoville, 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 meet 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 me. He can see right through me. Listen to Crimless on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What were some of the memories from your U.S.O. tours? Nobody knew who I was, and they were like, why do we have to say hello to this guy? Recently on the Good Stuff podcast, we sat down with our full. friend Bradley Cooper to talk about family. What is the good stuff to you?

I mean, of course it's my daughter. His deep friendship with host Jacob. He was there when I found out that I was going to have a baby, which was incredible. I remember that. You showed me the picture. You're like, what's that mean? And I was like, oh, my God. Did you ever tell the clinician story on this?

Which one? Well, they're the handcuffed. Oh, dude. And how they've been there for each other through the hard times. You know, I've been lucky enough to have dealt with some issues early on, you know, relatively literally on in my life. And I was able to sort of walk Jacob through some stuff. Yeah, next month I'll be eight years clean and sober. You were a big time

part of that. I leaned on you real heavy. I think times that you knew and times you didn't know. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Dear Chelsea, Elizabeth Olson is here. Would you consider yourself a serious actress? Yeah, I'm very serious. I'm very playful. So I guess I take myself seriously a little bit, but I also don't take the job of being like an actor very serious, like the other elements that come with it. Like what? Like speaking. As myself. Talk to me about

journaling. How did you get into the practice of journaling? I don't know. I just started doing it every morning three years ago along with jumping naked into my pool. Do you do that every morning? Yeah, I do. Oh my God, I love this. It's just, yeah, I don't heat it. Sometimes it's not that cold. But But I love swimming naked so much. I make coffee while it's being made. I jump in the pool. I do 80-year-old calisthetics afterwards to warm up my body. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And we've been talking for a while now about what is Donald Trump's strategy? going to be for dealing with the rising costs and falling pay that are affecting the vast majority of the country, like sort of the unavoidable thing that affects how people think the president is doing as like as a president. And just generally like a vibe check with the country, I would say it's kind of, it seems, seems bad since it's like no longer a safe question to be like, how's it going? Yeah.

Because everyone was just like struggling. Nobody has a good answer to that. It's going bad for fucking everyone. Unless you're like an AI CEO who's freestyle wrapping on a rooftop. So you can comfortably ask AI CEOs. If the person is in the C-suite at Palantir, you can ask them, but everyone else, like, find a new greeting. But there were signs that we had talked about about an earlier strategy of like appealing to small business owners to lower prices. Like he did, he went on his.

McDonald's tour and was like, I don't know, maybe you could lower the price of fish sandwiches. Yeah. Then, like, did an inexplicable static noise. You didn't have a fish sandwich,

but didn't he did like a weird hand gesture too? That was like short-circuited. Yeah. But he seems exhausted at this point as evidenced by the fact that he kept falling asleep in his cabinet meeting. And so he's just going with a choose not to believe that it's actually happening.

strategy at this point. Effective, effective, I'd say. Because why acknowledge reality when you can just lie about it and tell people like, wow, you're talking about this thing that doesn't exist? It's bullshit. It's a hoax. That's incredible how much, how far he's been able to get with that. And it's scary how much of an impact it's had on the rest of civilization.

People just can be like, no, that didn't happen. No, that's true. What are you talking about? Yeah. There's like footage. everything yeah yeah yeah he declared that affordability doesn't mean anything to anybody in remarks during a cabinet meeting he railed against democrats who have championed the issue it's and it's like the whole thing like just we can play his words around this is when he's talking

about that it is a hoax um because he's getting questions from the dishonest media uh but here he is uh talking about the affordability hoax after he woke up where, yeah, when you talk about affordability, is going forward, are the American people, do you believe, getting impatient with the reforms that you're making? They've talked about, it's about, I think you're getting fake news from guys like you. Why did the journalist nod, like, in agreement? Correct, sir. He sounded so nervous. I was just going to say he was so fucking scared to ask that question.

He could barely get through. Mr. President, what do you think about? affordability sir are you i think you're a piece of shit you're right sir are the american people do you believe uh it was that uh um impatient i think and are you going to be mad at me after this question yes sir sorry about that you're getting fake news from guys like you look uh-huh he's writing it down that was started by democrats abilities are hoax that was started by democrats who caused the problem of pricing and they didn't end it when, look, they lost it a landslide. This is the thing, he's so fucking senile that he can't even actually accurately describe what's happening.

So he just takes the topic. He's like, like a, the concept is a hoax. Affordability is a hoax. Rather, I guess what he's trying to say is like the idea that things aren't affordable is a hoax. Affordability hoax. And it's, it's fine. It's fine. He sounds so tired.

still. Oh, yeah. In the statement. Yeah. I think this will be the first time we've ever witnessed and out-of-touch ruling class refused to acknowledge the suffering of the people they rule over. So it'll be interesting to see where this goes because that, you know, sort of a let them eat cake almost energy, but that's just a phrase that's made up. There's a lot of hullabal going on on witch talk about imminent possible buildup. The psychics, the, the astrologers, the witches, they're saying, they're saying something's coming. Oh, really? Yeah.

Like in what sense? Um, I think with his health, you know. Oh, they're, they're saying they're like reading the fucking, the vibes or there are people putting curses out there. So I'll be interested to see it if any of that comes true. Now, he seems good. He seems spry and energy. It seems, I don't know where they're getting that, uh, any energetic, uh, issues going on

with him other than him continually falling asleep in public and not being able to coherently get through that sentence on the subject of like the most important issue of his presidency. Yeah, but all these people that are on there being like, I have a bottle of champagne for the day that he croaks. And I'm like, oh, so then Mr. Handmaid's Tale, J.D. Vance comes in. Right. It's going to be so sick. Yeah, I mean, we are going to be living under like a Christian psycho bonarchy. Oh, scary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Plus, don't forget the Silicon Valley folks, too, who are fully on board with J.D. Vance. Like, all the, the techno-fascists are like, yeah, baby. Like, this is who we want. And Elon Musk was just saying that. He's like, dude,

Vance is going to be their guy, or our guy, uh, in 2020. So I do think this, like, fits in overall with this pattern we're seeing with Trump where he's, uh, it's not really a pattern so much as just like chaotic fluctuations that are based on whoever the most recent charismatic person he was in a room with was because he was calling himself the affordability president before and then like after he met was zaraamamdani he he was like you know we had some interesting conversations and some of his ideas are really are the same ideas that i have a big thing on cost the new word is affordability another word is just groceries sort of an old-fashioned word but it's very accurate they're coming down yeah literally the opposite

of what he was saying, like, seconds before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I mean, it's just... Just all depends who's in front of him. Yeah. So he said that, though, and the millionaires who he works for, essentially, probably did not like that sound bite. And so then they got their charismatic person in a room with him.

And now he's like, affordability is not even a word I've heard before. Fucking hoax. Can you imagine advising this man? how scary that would be to be like, um, sir, that makes absolutely no sense. I think if we could just go,

uh, this direction and then this, he just doesn't listen to anything you said. Yeah. Yeah. It's just so, like everyone was so checked out at that meeting. It's just so funny.

Like they're not even, they don't even believe in this shit anymore. Like, I don't know, dude. I'm like, I'm just, it's like a full on grift administration.

They're like, it's not really about governance at all. It's like, what can I get while I'm in here? And that's what they're all fucking doing. doing. But a lot of people were obviously keep pointing out the affordability shit that's going on. And Kaylee McEnany, who used to be Trump's press secretary in the first administration, she was on Fox and the five. And just straight up lying that in that meeting, they laid out an

affordability plan because he absolutely did it. But she just goes on Fox and just says this shit. So what do what do Republicans need to do? Republicans need to show their work. And you saw that today with President Trump and the Oval Office cabinet meeting. You saw everyone speak and you saw several of the cabinet members lay out their affordability plan. I've spoken to several Doug Bergam who says, I've unleashed 34 leases to drill. That's bringing down gas prices. Then I go again, all nonsense. The only strategy for dealing with affordability is making fossil fuel companies money. Yeah. As we see, that always works. When they have record profits, They always do a good job of sharing that with the people via stock buyback program.

God, not only that, just like, they can't, they have no, they're just so fucking in over their heads. And I mean, you couldn't ask for better timing because like this is the kind of shit that will hopefully like dilute their power a bit because there's, they've been saying all this. She's like, oh, we're bringing the prices down. They're like, oh, man, it's, I don't know. I think he stumbled onto a pretty good line of reasoning on this one when he says, it's going to go down a little bit. it further, the prices, you want to have a little tiny bit of inflation. Otherwise, that's not good either. Then you have a thing called deflation, and deflation can be worse than inflation. Oh, okay. You don't pay more is bad. Try paying less. That's really bad. And it's worth

less. Wait, what? Also, to be Caroline Levitt and just have to knowingly say what is on that, I mean, I do not know how this woman every single day, she goes, again. And I'm just like, how can you stomach this? Like, there has to be, she's going to get some crazy autoimmune disease or something. Her body is going to rebel against everything that she just shows up one day and one of her eyebrows is missing. A knowing lie every single day. And she's like 24, isn't she like 24 years old? It's like 27 or something.

She's, yeah, she's in her late 20 days. Something where you're just like, oh, you have to be so young. to be able to just say these things. And if that shit is going to age you like Abraham Lincoln Bay. Oh, my God. I did notice in a clip, sorry, I'm not supposed to talk about this because it's against my values,

but I did notice that they, because of all the Republican makeup talk on TikTok, obviously I'm on TikTok way too much. But I saw her in a clip with like much softer makeup, and I was like, oh, yeah, she's been getting a torrent of shit from the gals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And look, I don't like to shit on people's,

appearances, but in this case... I'm merely commenting on other people's comments. That's obvious. No, I just don't, I look, I just recognize I'm doing the bad thing that I... We're going to allow it on this player. But in this stage... She looked much better, though. Talking about the Hunger Games government that is

actively... They deserve a bit of grace. And murdering people. I think we were going to allow you to say that their makeup is too harsh personally, I think. Yeah, but they soften it up because they're not softened. in that bitch's mouth, so they softened up her face.

Right. Soff in the face. All right. Speaking of talking shit about people, Quinn Tarantino recently made headlines for unveiling his list of the greatest movies of the 21st century so far. And also talking wild shit about Paul Dano.

His list is just so random. Number one, Black Hawk Down. Okay. I didn't even see the list. list. All I saw was like these blurbs. Oh, here it is. Listen up. Here we go. Black Hawk down and then number two is Toy Story 3. Sick. Sick. Yep. Number two, number three, lost in translation. Dunkirk. Five, there will be blood, which makes sense. Six Zodiac. Like there are some of these that I feel like would be on other people's

list. Seven Unstoppable, the Denzel, Washington, Chris Pine train movie, Mad Max Fury Road, Sean of the Dead. Midnight in Paris, the Woody Allen, movie. I love a bit of Woody. His lists are like, he, he once said that Lone Ranger, the Army Hammer, Johnny Depp, Lone Ranger movie was the best film of 2013. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's great. It does. Like, the guy loves movies. Maybe these are just the last 10 movies he saw. It's like my kids, you know, or like my favorite movie, the one we just watched last weekend. But then he randomly just talked cash shit about Paul Dano for his performance. And, he's, you know, and, you know, in there will be blood, but it like went so...

I thought it was a good performance, no? Wasn't Paul Dano pretty good? First of all, he is like one, like I had such a visceral reaction to this. I'm like, this is your personal shit. One, that was an incredible performance. Two, he is like one of the best living actors of all the time. And he morphs in, despite having such like a distinct face, he morphs so seamlessly into every character.

He was so scary in that Batman movie. What if there was a man who was a little boy? yeah yeah yeah he played a villain even though he looks like a tall little boy he was just so scary in that movie which also can we just ignore like have you seen quentin tarentino act like it's it's bad he he loved to say the end word yeah yeah that's that's mainly his his one affectation i feel like he probably still like this performance more powerful yeah i just want to read what what the the exact quotes from the interview. There will be blood would stand a better chance to be in number one or number two if it didn't have a big giant flaw in it, and that flaw is Paul Dano. He is weak sauce, man.

He's a weak sister. I'm going to mad. Austin Butler would have been a wonderful choice in that, would have been wonderful in that role, Austin Butler was 16 at the time. Dano, just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. He sounds like Trump. Jesus Christ. He's weak sister. and then this is on Brett Easton Ellis's podcast and Brett Easton Ellis is like well Daniel Day Lewis also makes it kind of impossible to make it a two-hander

because there are aspects of that performance they're so gargantuan and then Tarantino just would not let it go he goes so you put him with the weakest male actor and SAG in the screen Actors Guild the limpest dick in the world I wonder what kind of beef they have he seems like not

a nice man. One of the, one of the theories was, is that Paul Dano has been outspoken in his support of Gaza and supported a charity auction to supply medical aid in Gaza and Tarantino lives in a 13 million dollar mansion in Israel and has visited IDF bases to boost morale. Yeah, yeah, that's probably it. That's got to be it to say, because to say that about Paul Dano, like, regardless if you, hate the man is just categorically untrue. Like, I mean, he is a freakish talent. Right. Yeah. Yeah, he's a good actor. He is

truly one of those people like in the beginning. I was like, I don't know, this guy's face. I can't get past it. And then like every subsequent performance, like he's, he's actually, I love his face. Did you see Swiss Army Man? I see, that's what I'm saying. Like, I love his face. Everyone looks the same in acting. You know what I mean? We need more like

odd, unique faces. Mm-hmm. He also just like, like did a random drive-by on Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard. What? What do you say? Alice then asked if Tarantino had ever enjoyed Dano in any project. He said, I don't care for him. I don't care for him.

I don't care for Owen Wilson. And I don't care for Matthew Lillard. Again, Owen Wilson is in the Woody Allen movie that he like put in his thing. And it is just like that entire movie, Midnight in Paris, is just Woody Allen reacting. or is just Owen Wilson reacting to shit Yeah Yeah it's just like

That movie It's impossible to enjoy that movie If you don't like Owen Wilson Yeah he's on the screen the whole time As we know You're kind of a fan I am yeah But I mean like I feel like Owen

He's just so likable Again he might not be In Tarantino movies You know he's not like in these hardcore But it's a whole different He's like a whole different genre guy you know yeah yeah it's just so funny for him like where did owen wilson come from for tarentino like they're not even in the same worlds yeah i'm just like looking at them like

matthew lillard maza yeah yeah exactly me see um no he's on wow i don't like him i don't like he's actually matthew lillard is like in a like a name of like shamed actors who has been pretty about it. So it can't be. He must really fucking hate that shit. We didn't go into a long list of a long list of grievances that were so specific

such as the limpest dick in the world. Yeah. Yeah. Like, how do you know, bitch? Also, how old is Quentin Tarantino? I feel like some of these people just get so old that they just start saying shit. He is 62.

Yeah. Yeah, I feel like he would have known for sure if he was like, you know who would have been good and there will be blood? Michael Rappaport. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, but you know the famous Fiona Apple quote? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cocaine after one night of being... Being around him. Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino together. I thought it was Louis C.K. and Quentin Tarantina. Was Paul Thomas Anderson? No, she was dating Paul Thomas Anderson when he made Magnolia. When he and cocaine teamed up to make the movie Magnolia,

which I do love them. movie. It's just like, yeah, I never did cocaine again. Never more. I do feel like we're just entering Bobby Fisher territory with his motherfucker where we just have to be like, he was, he had a thing for a while there. And he hasn't done shit in a while.

So yeah, he's just completely. When I saw once upon a time in Hollywood in the theater at the arc light after coming home from the road on a Sunday morning and it was like so sunny out and I went by myself a little high. and I walked out being like, that's one of the best movies I've ever seen. And I was like, whoa, Hollywood's cool. All this stuff. Then I watched it again with my parents after like building it up.

And they were like, yeah. That's fine. It's all right. Okay, Blair. That was fun. That was nice. Thank you, honey. I got charmed by the moment.

Yeah. No, it happens. I got really caught up. Yeah. I, speaking of Magnolia and a similar situation, And when I was a freshman in college, Magnolia came out. And me and my best friend saw it in the theaters. And we liked it so much.

Like the next weekend was our parents were in town. And we made them go watch Magnolia with us. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. Like that movie is the last movie that I can possibly see either of our parents enjoying. And they literally walked out of the movie and we're like, are you guys on drugs? And that's what I did with my parents also. the studio like I was like oh my god you got to see this it's so genius but it's like so inside baseball they had no idea what was going on yeah yeah like yeah like you know the studio was great

for that it was so inside baseball but it's so it's so inside that you're like this this satire i mean it's like laser every single moment of i like everyone knows it yeah it was wild to me it's such a good show finally something out of hollywood that's just for the for us you know Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast. Are You a Charlotte? The most anticipated guest from season three is here,

The Trey to My Charlotte. Kyle McLaughlin joins me to relive all of the magical Trey and Charlotte moments. He reveals what he thinks of Trey giving Charlotte a cardboard baby. Why would I bring her a cardboard baby? Literally, I was like, this doesn't track for me at all. When he found out Trey's shortcomings. I'm kind of excited at talking about, you know, I think he's a guy spends time in Central Park.

You know, he's probably, you know, he'll be some surgery stuff, you know. And I was like, all this kind of stuff going on. And they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine. And they said, but he's impotent. And I was like, he's impotent. And why he chose not to return to it just like that. They came and presented an idea. And I was like, I get, I see it.

It's so kind of a one joke idea. Right. You don't want to miss this. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Would you consider yourself a serious actress? Yeah, I'm very serious. I'm very playful. So I guess I take myself seriously a little bit. But I also don't take the job of being like an actor very serious. Right. Like the other elements that come with it. Like what?

Like speaking. As myself. Talk to me about journaling. How did you get into the practice of journaling? I don't know. I just started doing it every morning three years ago along with jumping naked into my pool. Do you do that every morning? Yeah, I do.

Oh my God, I love this. It's just, yeah, I don't heat it. Sometimes it's not that cold. But I love swimming naked so much. I make coffee while it's being made. I jump in the pool. I do 80-year-old calisthetics afterwards to warm up my body. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And this is the crime report. This is the local news section of the Daily's I get. No, just one quick crime trend. and then a how to commit a crime. Okay. So latest crime trend, stealing the baby Jesus from the manger.

Fuck, yeah. There's a nativity scene in Brussels that caused controversy recently because they made the figures out of recycled textiles and they look, it's kind of fucked up looking. It looks like driftwood kind of,

but sure, who gives a shit? But like the conservatives were up in arms. And then like as that was happening, and everyone was paying attention to this manger, the baby Jesus was snatched from his crib, and everyone was like, oh, my God, first the church makes this godless thing, and now they're stealing the baby Jesus.

They took BJ. They did? Yeah, beage is gone. Beech is gone. The beach, the baby Jesus. But people were pointing out, like, it probably has nothing to do with the backlash because baby Jesus figures already disappeared,

first of all, from that same spot multiple times over the past decade, and this is a huge trend. There are tons of news stories in the past several decades about baby Jesus being stolen during the holidays in the U.S. and abroad. There's even a Wikipedia page for the phenomenon, which some have taken to calling Stolen Baby Jesus Syndrome. Wait, what? Hilarious.

Who is sick with the syndrome? Who's got the syndrome? Hold on. You got SBJS, bro? That's a bad case of SBJS. Yeah. Religious leaders have reacted to these thefts opting to forgive the thieves for their sins in the spirit of the season. Oh, wait, sorry, no, they've turned churchards into little police states.

Yeah, of course. Of course. In addition to bolting Christ to its crib, they've installed motion-activated security cameras with steeple-mounted machine gun turrets. No, I made up the turrets. But you might have, you might be able to sell a couple people on that. There, I know, right? Bolting, I mean, nailing Jesus down again? Yeah, yeah.

Bolted. Bolting. Hasn't the man been through enough? Yeah. Hey. Hey, it ends the way it starts, baby. You guys have, like, read your own book. What do you do?

Oh, so I just take a, like, a three-eighth-inch drill bit. Three-eighths inch drill bit, just straight to the back of the skull of this thing. Put in some cabling and make sure that shit is. Don't, don't know. That missed everyone. The eye, the eye, bolting? Yeah, bolting him down. What we're going to want to do is nail the Jesus down.

Nail the Jesus down. I don't, I think that was bad. You're going to want to get that nailed down. Yeah. And this is a new twist. They've also, there's a security company that offers a special holiday display tracker program, a.k.a. GPS Jesus, which allows churches to monitor their baby Jesus with GPS devices. You just have to cut a big hole in the back of Jesus and shove the tracker inside.

Again, yeah, we're mutilating this man, God's son. I mean, if, yeah, I mean, who was this guy really? Oh, man, Miles, I've got a story to tell you. Brother, I've got a story to tell you. When I, and I know this won't shock you at all, but when I saw Passion of the Christ in high school, I'm not kidding you. I couldn't stop crying for a week, like sobbing. They got your ass, huh? Yeah, because I was just like, I can't believe people are so mean. Like, I was just like, the cruelty of humanity has impact I have seen is like disgusting. And I couldn't bear it.

Like my system couldn't bear it. This is what they were doing over at Santa Margarita High School. Have you re-watched it since then? No, I'm too afraid because, like, the way it impacted me the first time, like, it was, I had, like, insane grief after. Like, it really disturbed me. Did you watch it without subtitles? You understand Aramaic? I watched it in the theater.

Oh, it wasn't played at your high school because my high school would have played that shit. But I'm the same with mine. It probably does play it now. But I also, like, was really, I was still. Catholic at that point. Now, like, you know, my God is divine loving intelligence and I'm not a religious gal, even though I pray a lot. But at the time, it wasn't even about religion to me. I was just like, how are they, these people, how is humanity so cool? Like, how do we get that way? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn. I didn't know I was autistic yet.

Sure. And also that you were just watching some fucking wacky ass propaganda from Melkins. That movie is fucked up. Like, I watched that late. in life and was like I can't believe this I was like how is this some how is this story structure is just he just gets the shit beat out of him for yes is it like it's a wonderful life or at least at the very end you're like oh all right it's a Christmas movie yeah yeah it does turn out to be oh we heard all about you oh you're nailing me to the cross oh oh geez oh you're Oh, that movie was gnarly. I'm, like, haunted by it still. There's a, there's a crime in Philadelphia where somebody stole the baby Jesus and

our writer jam, like, put together the side by side, and it's definitely not the same guy. Like, the guy looks totally different. You don't think it's the same guy? I don't think so. Like, the one guy's got a full face. These white guys look all the same to me. Okay. All right.

Could be you, Jack. I don't know. I mean, it is the same guy. Yeah. Yeah, see? Yeah. It's, but, but the, the judge, like, there's just, it's this crime that judges are like, were you trying to buy a bag of crack, you dead meat?

Like, they just, like, throw the book at this guy because he kind of looks like the person they have on video. That's the only evidence they have is, like, a bald guy, a bald white guy on video, stealing the baby Jesus. And they're like, it was him? So, I mean, did that guy, was he exonerated? Because he was like, that's not even me. I don't even walk like that.

He's, like, going away. for that shit. Oh, man. So do we think it's actually him or no? I don't think it's him. But I just think the fucking, this is like a unique, a uniquely offensive crime

to people in the United States. Well, the guy did, I think it sounds like he had, he had priors for theft. Sure. Richard Pryors. It's also, it's such a, like, my first thought is going to be,

okay, teen, like, what teenager did that? Like, it's such a, just a, like, dumb-ass kid act of vandalism, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, I mean, people do it for other reasons. Like, it's like, there are people who fucking hate. They're like, they fucking hate Christmas. Why the fuck is this everywhere?

And then, like, if you're like, me, went to a Catholic high school, there's no greater prank than to steal the fucking baby Jesus because you're like, bro. Like, in the context of Christianity, look at my backpack. Look at my backpack. Christianity, Catholicism. Bro, you fucking, you boosted the fucking beach, bro. That shit basically has magical. powers. In 2014, FBI was brought in to investigate a possible heat crime in Massachusetts after

a baby Jesus was stolen and replaced with a severed pig's head. And they were like, this is, they're, they're indicating their intention to do the next 9-11. Ew, that is really gross still. A severed pig's head? I'm not done with that. So you zoom in a bit. And then it was just a unhoused woman who was suffering from mental health issues and the pig's head was just something that she found in a dumpster. Like from a pig roast, like a whole hobroast that they ate. It was like a cook. Yeah, but they, you know, they want there to be something scary.

Satanic. Of course, dude, it's so dangerous out here for the Christians, man. In 28, so just to show how like everything's bad, there's a new satanic trend in the United States, which is how the local news likes to cover this. In 2018, a church in Hoboken was mailed a baby Jesus that had been stolen in 1931. Oh, I like that. That was the one stealing Jesus was real, man. Like, that was, you would impress me.

Or like, in the 1930s. If that person's, like, was Catholic and their mother saw that in the 30s, she probably would have died. Yeah, true. She's like, Charles, you brought home. How could you? Oh, my heart. If I did that shit, my parents would probably die. Look, I don't think.

like anyone should be defacing anyone's religious property that's why we live in the free country but I also don't like the Charlie Kirkification where we're putting away someone for life for like stealing a doll like because

we now live in Christian nationalism when this whole country started on separation of church and state yeah yeah but they didn't know what the fuck they were doing back then when they started this country that we say is the best but I support like like I'm more than happy for the good Christians that believe in like helping people and like the true essence of the religion actual Christians I'm sure you talked about it but like that woman who did the test asking calling all the churches for the baby formula and only one church said yes and one mosque and I was like we need to tax the churches all of them like I mean in they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing to be getting the tax breaks that they're getting in this country. Another five laws that I want to enact when I'm

president besides the loud mufflers. The loud mufflers. See, they will go direct to jail because that's my dictatorship. But I think, as we were talking about, I think social media should be illegal for children until you're like 16 or 17. Australia is leading the charge. What if they're like really cute though? Or if they're really good like fireposts? It's so bad for their brains. Um, I feel bad for all our brains. I don't think, and I think we should only have social media between 10 and 5, uh, 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. So that we all can have regulated.

We can have regular nervous systems and sleep. Oh, you mean like that? It shuts down. It's like, actually the servers go down. It's inaccessible to everyone. Yeah. But outside of those hours so that we still remember what regular life is like of like real brains. Like none of my friends were like, oh my God, it's so hard to read a book because our intention

spans are so shot and we're so like ungrounded whatever and then you know obviously no guns and then i also believe that all congress should have to have the same no and uh should not be able to be in the stock market and also they should have to have all the same health insurance that they that we have yeah yes that the rest of the country has to have that they make the laws for well i think i think this is a good campaign launch yeah okay can you tell it to someone else because i don't i'm not going to run at all of my I've got to do it. You got to do it.

Well, future President Blair Saki, such a pleasure having you, as always, on the Daily Zykegeist. Thank you so much. Find you, follow you, all that good stuff. Thank you so much for asking. Jack, what a great question. If you aren't following me yet, I would love if you would. It's just Blair Saki on all platforms, BLAI, S-O-C-C-I. I just launched my podcast based out with Blair Saki.

I'm really thrilled about it. It's everything I've ever wanted to do. It's about pop culture, mental health, womanhood, and a little bit of aliens. And that's available everywhere in my YouTube, Apple, Podcast, Spotify. Please subscribe. And then the last thing. And watch it. And watch it.

Yeah. Watch it. The visual of it, it fucking hits 10 times harder. Thank you. That's really nice. And then the last thing I want to tell you guys, I have a show this Saturday at Largo in Los Angeles. and it's a very special meaningful show to me because it's a fundraiser for the American Association of Suicide Prevention

and I would just love some support. I think it's only half sold right now which embarrasses me and I really, if there's anyone who is interested in seeing a great show with Anthony Jesselach, me, Mo Welch, Ian Carmel, Dan Levy might be a big surprise guest as well. Baby Jesus? What? Baby Jesus?

Maybe Baby Jesus, yeah. Oh, fuck, yeah. All right. Zygang, if you're in L.A., let's pull up. Yeah, everybody needs to go check that out. That's the Saturday, December 6th. So are you, but you're teasing there is somebody who might pull up? You think so?

There might be, yeah. Okay. I mean, besides Jeslinik, who's already, you know, whatever. Yeah, I was going to say, that's pretty big. Yeah. Famously nice guy, too. He's very nice to do. He is.

Super nice. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Okay, I don't want to say this, but I just finished the Diddy documentary? Oh, the 50 cent one? Yes, because I was like really wondering what 50 cents, you know, angle was. And they went so deep, like, there's a whole episode about him. I mean, this is one of the scariest people I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

After all the sexual rape and all the trafficking and secret. videoing and domestic abuse, like the violence and stuff. The documentary series shows how many people's murders he's directly involved in and basically lays out how he had Tupac killed and all this stuff. And like, I never, I wasn't someone like aware of all this. So for me to see it like laid out. Is that true? Or that's like a theory?

I mean, that's a they're alleging. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. No, well, the guy who apparently he hired says it on, they, have his audio recording. Jesus. Yeah. But it was so compelling.

And like I hate, it's so hard to watch like these sex abuse documentaries and stuff. But this one was so interesting. I just could not look away. There you go. There's going to be more too. Apparently 50 Cent is like gearing up for like a whole second active documentary episode. There was so much that I had no idea about in there.

Like it was so much more than just like the sexual. I think there's something about how like they also, he also made. Biggie's family pay for the funeral or some shit, like out of their own pocket? He decided because he wanted to have like a big show of Biggie's funeral and then he charged it after making it the most expensive thing in the world. He made, yeah, big creep it. Jesus Christ.

Yeah. But otherwise good guy? No, I cannot. Oh, okay. Wow. Okay. Miles, where can people find you as their work in media you've been enjoying? Yeah.

find me everywhere at Miles of Gray. I'm talking about 90-day fiancé. I'm 420-day fiancé. There's also the new show coming out called Ain't It Footy, where I get to talk about one of my favorite sports, European football in it, along with comedians Chris Martin and Jamel Johnson, very fun crew. I love it. Yeah, yeah, just a very, very, very fun show for lovers of soccer.

And even if you don't love it, trust me, it's funny and unhinged enough that you'll probably laugh at without knowing what the fuck we're talking about. And also, and that's actually coming out on Tuesday. So I'll see you next Tuesday. Cool. Hey, wait a second. Yeah. Would you just say about me? No, nothing, nothing, nothing, dude. I guess you can say that on a British soccer podcast. Yeah, you can. You can. What else do I have? There's, let's see, I don't, yeah, working media I've been liking. Oh, I'm just, I'm, I'm wrapping up a chair company right now. I'm wrapping up chair company. I'm wrapping up chair company. Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

You never know what you're going to get with that one. I love him. What, chair company? Yeah, chair company is like, no, you don't. Different directions each other. And I'm in a text thread where after the finale, everyone knows I haven't seen it, but the cryptic discussion around it, I'm like, Jesus Christ, all right, let's go. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien, Blue Sky, at Jack O'B, the number one. Some tweets I've been enjoying

Cam at Harley Baghdad tweeted the phone is the most evil screen. The computer is somewhat evil, but less so than the phone. The TV is benevolent. Those are all correct. That's so true. And then April Clark tweeted, The stats don't lie. You love

music. You listened to it this year. Your favorite type of music was songs. You played a song on your phone. You can find us on Twitter and Blue Sky at Daily Zykeist. We're at The Daily Zykeist on Instagram. You can go to the description of this episode

wherever you're listening to it. And there at the bottom, you will find the footnotes, which is where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode. We also link off to a song that we think you might enjoy. Hey, Miles, is there a song that you think these people might enjoy? Yeah, uh, this is a track.

Just a fucking fantastic instrumental music, uh, you know, melodic fusion jazz. funk from the 70s, from the group, Tarika Blue, T-A-R-I-K-A-B-L-U-E. And, my God, this is a fantastic song, but also this is actually the sample that Jay Dilla used for Erica Badu's Didn't Chen, Didn't Chenow, didn't you know.

And it's just such a beautiful track. So listen to the original, yeah, Tarika Blue, Dreamflower. All right, we will link off to that in the footnotes. Today is like I guess the production of I-Hart Radio for more podcasts from My Heart Radio. at the iard radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. That's going to do it for us this morning. Oh, yes.

Do it. Any fact I said on here is just allegedly because I can't remember anything and so I could have totally gotten it wrong. So I just don't want to be held liable. Thank you. Well, I actually, I would like to counter that with everything Blair says is the absolute truth. It's infallible.

100%. If you hear it. Please. My mind is gone from grief. Anyways, I love you guys. Thanks for having me on. Love you, Blair. Thanks for being on. You heard it here first. Aliens killed Tupac tomorrow.

Who catfish is a city? Is it even safe to snort human remains? Is that the plot of footloos? I'm comedian Rory Scoville, and I'm here to tell you, Josh Dean and I have a new podcast that celebrates the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. It's called Crimeless, a true crime comedy podcast. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Kristen Davis, host. of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte?

You listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Dear Chelsea, Elizabeth Olson is here. I get nervous doing podcasts. I get anxious that I'm going to say something that is going to offend people.

But also, who gives a shit? That just goes to show you how silly it is. We all have to say this over and over to ourselves. Who gives a shit? I find that to be so satisfying as someone who is a fearful person. And they're kind of scared of everything. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What were some of the memories from your U.S.O tours? Nobody knew who I was and they were like, why do we have to say hello to this guy? Recently on the Good Stuff podcast, we sat down with our friend Bradley Cooper to talk about his deep friendship with host Jacob. He was there when I found out that I was going to have a baby. And how they've been there for each other through the hard times.

And I was able to sort of walk Jacob through some stuff. I leaned on you real heavy. I think times that you knew and times you didn't know. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
