But first we like to take Our listeners through what they're in store for. Papa John's is canceled officially now by his own company. The Papa has been canceled. Stormy Daniels was arrested in a sting operation at a strip club that she was working at in a sting that had nothing to do with politics.

see what they're gabbing about these days. They're selfish. What do you mean they? They're so obsessed with themselves. What are one of them? Millennials are so random. We're going to talk about the most insane movie production of all time.

They have finally released a trailer. They've been working on this picture for 12 years. I had not heard of it prior to one of our writers submitting the story. And it's a doozy, folks. Stick around for this one. But first, we'd like to get to know our guest even better. Jamie, what is something from your search history? A recent search I had was Lindsay Lohan filmography because I have a new theory about Lindsay Lohan,

which is that everyone's top two favorite Lindsay Lohan movies are generally the same. It's Mean Girls and The Parent Trap. But your third Lindsay Lohan favorite movie is deeply revealing about who you are as an individual. Uh-huh. So I... Freaky Friday? There you go. Okay.

Okay. So you're a pedophile and Miles... So you're disgusting and you... Okay. Herbie Fully Loaded. Okay. And you're so random. I only know that as one movie.

That's only a movie. I've actually not seen... Oh, Parent Trap. Parent Trap. Parent Trap. That's totally a movie. I've actually not seen either of those. Parent Trap. That's two. No, it's Mean Girls, Parent Trap,

or Parent Trap, Mean Girls if you're me. Oh yeah, I've never seen Mean Girls. Is that good? It's, you know what? I'm joking.

Anna, you don't have to roll your eyes so far in the back of your head. Mine is, mine is Life Size with Tyra Banks. What is that? Where Tyra Banks is a Barbie who comes to life, and Lindsay Lohan is small and fun and in it. Oh, wait.

She is doll-sized? Barbie-sized? Or just small compared to Tyra Banks? She's just a kid in the movie. Got it. And it's like a mannequin ripoff, but instead of sexual tension, it's Lindsay Lohan as the protagonist? It's some of Tyra's best work, I would argue. She's smizing for a feature-length film.

She's just walking around. She's like, I'm from Sunnyvale, California. And it's just like Lindsay Lohan's Barbie comes to life, and it's Tyra Banks. It's great. Okay. I thought you were going to say your it's Tyra Banks. It's great. Okay. I thought you were going to say your theory was that she died in 9-11. Well, my other search I was going to say is remember me last seen. Yes.

We were just looking at that. Yeah. We had a big 9-11 run this morning, guys. What happened? What is this movie? Tell people what this movie is about because the only way to describe it is like, you know that Robert Pattinson movie where he basically dies in 9-11? At the end, it's 9-11.

From what I remember, I wish I'd seen this movie in theaters. That would have been so funny. But it's like a movie where it's kind of about him and his father's relationship. And I think that he might have either a younger sibling or something like that. It's like a family drama. might have either a younger sibling or something like that. It's like a family drama. And we know sort of in the movie that it's happening around 2001,

but it's really not addressed at all. And then all of a sudden at the end, Robert Pattinson has just resolved things with, I think, his dead dad or something, and he's staring out a window. What window is it? Well, we don't know. You don't know yet. A big one. It looks pretty nice. And then you cut to a classroom and someone's like, Caroline, pay attention. And then you look at the chalkboard.

It says Tuesday, September 11th. Wait for it. 2001. No. No. Cut back to Robert Pattinson in this window. The camera starts to pull out. No, he's on the top floor of the World Trade Center.

What a fucking stupid way to end a film. It is so, like. It has nothing to do with the movie up to that point. Yeah, right? The movie is not 9-11 related in any way. It just happens to be the weird way. Cool. If I remember right, there are some scenes where you're like, oh, it's weird that they're

playing a newscast about the 2000 election in the background of this scene. Anyways, Robert Pattinson and his dad have some issues, but then at the end it is just like straight up. They're just like, boom. The twist is Robert Pattinson is about to be nine 11. Thanks Rob. Yeah.

That's actually something Brett Kavanaugh has been, uh, in the whole thing about like whether he has a stance on whether like Mueller's investigation should keep going. Oh, right. One of his papers is, you know, from the Star Report. And one of his big points is that they shouldn't have done the whole Star investigation into whether, you know, Clinton was having an affair or whatever because he feels partially responsible for letting Osama bin Laden go because he was distracted by all that shit.

So the Supreme Court justice who is currently being nominated calls 9-11. Let's move on. What is something that you think is overrated? Overrated would be people who end emails or conversations with cheers. This is something that is not okay to do if you're still doing it. Oh, God. Yeah, anytime someone's on the phone, they're like, okay, cheers, talk to you later. Or signing cheers, comma, your name is not okay.

It's a sign that you're not only boring but a little dangerous. But what if boring and dangerous is like your thing? What if they say that in the UK? But what if that's your whole brand? My whole brand is boring. But I guess if you're like some LA bro and you're like, yeah, cheers.

Cheers, mate. Goes to England once. Exactly. Cheers. Talk to you later later like catching at the beach hey man can i get some chips with this burger i'm sorry fries i was in the uk man cheers it is kind of like a runoff of being like oh i went abroad for a semester and i just i'm sorry i just talk like this now right i can't help it we'll allow it with british people and australian people correct uh yes british people and then Australian people. And then what's the other thing that they say about spiders?

Yeah. Not here to fuck spiders. Not here to fuck spiders. I think that's a useful one. My favorite email sign-off that is just kind of chillingly formal is regards. Oh, yeah. That's kind of nice. To send a really long informal email of like, I'm upset. I'm sad. Blah, blah, blah. Reg yeah. That's kind of nice. I love to send a really long informal email

of like, I'm upset. I'm sad. Blah, blah, blah. Regards. You have to read it in a different voice to get that kind of feel.

Why are you tweeting Drake song titles? Spotify's paying me. What do you think of best? Best always bothers me a little bit for some reason. I think it's the most common

probably. It's an incomplete thought. Yeah. I don't know. It's just for someone who feels like they can't just go their name at the end. We'll have to sign off somewhere. I like a thanks. I love a regards.

I love when people start an email by being like, just circling back. I'm horny for this email. When people just circle back. I was like, I'm horny for this email. When people just circle back, I'm like, hello? Circle back any time you like. What's the nicest way of saying, hey, motherfucker, what happened

to this shit we were just talking about? Do your job. When I was producing, I have to deal with talent and their PR teams. You can't just be like, hey, assholes, you didn't answer the fucking question that's fundamental to this production. You have to deal with talent and their PR teams? And you can't just be like, hey, assholes, you didn't answer the fucking question

that's fundamental to this production. You have to be like, hey, just wanted to circle back on this. Just circle back. Where the fuck are you? What the fuck happened? What happened? Let's put a pin in that

and then we'll circle back. Oh, God. Put a pin in your fucking eye. Jamie, what is something that is underrated? The shoe selection at Rite Aid. I'd like to direct you to. Oh, my God.

Are you wearing Rite Aid shoes? I was in a compromising position last night where I was going, not to brag, I was going on a date. And I forgot that the shoes I wore out that day were objectively dirty and disgusting. I was like, I don't know what to do. It was like 8 p.m. Payless Shoes isn't open. Where am I going to go? So I was like, maybe I could, I don't, I was going to, I just went into Rite Aid.

I was like, maybe they've got like some ugly sandals. But my shoes were so dirty. I just couldn't wear them. They were like gross sneakers. Covered in blood. Covered in blood. I just committed a crime. like gross sneakers.

Covered in blood. Covered in blood. I just committed a crime. And I was just hoping he wouldn't ask me why I had a shovel with me to start with. But both of those things, your bloody shoes and the shovel, would have been too much. Right.

I'm like, I can't get rid of the shovel. It's expensive. I need it. But I can scrap the shoes. But the shoes you're rocking are kind of nice. So you got those at Rite Aid? They look like Tums. They look like those nice.

They are knockoff Tums. There's a whole selection. Let me see the bottom. Oh, they say Tums? Brought to you by Tums. Cool. Yeah, the brand is called Horny by Rite Aid, and it's a cool line. They had a whole section. For shoes? Yeah, I had is called Horny by Rite Aid, and it's a cool line. They had a whole section.

The shoes? Yeah. I had a selection of colors. The shoes cost $7. Did you have like a whole color store you were trying to operate with it? I tried on multiple pairs. It was – And you were late to your date.

I'm sorry. I got caught up at Rite Aid. I was like, listen. And the only issue is it is not a shoe store. And so right behind you, there is cereal. So I was like trying on shoes while people were trying to like. Sitting on a box of cereal. Exactly. And people were like, excuse me.

But, you know, check it out. I highly recommend it. Any styles? Any styles. You've got knockoff Toms. You've got knockoff Converses. You've got knockoff Keds. You've got knockoff Converses. You've got knockoff Keds. You've got your classic little flip-floppies.

It's all there. They've got it there. It's all there. At a reasonable price? It's all like $7. Oh. That's amazing. All right, moneybags.

Yeah. Listen, I'm extremely – You do have to be operating in a very specific tax bracket for this to be. But shoes at Rite Aid, I'm loving them so far. Suffice to say, you're loving the Trump tax cuts. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. What is a color story, Miles?

You've said that now twice in two days. It's like when you're doing mood boards or design anything. You'll have a palette of colors that are existing within an ad campaign or whatever. Miles is a content creator. You know, like I said, been saying intent like REI, you know what I mean? Like Sport Chalet. Just circling back about that. Just wanted to circle back because this is something you've mentioned a couple times.

Maybe we could put a pin in it and circle back. Circle back, circle back. Let's ask Jamie what a myth is. What's something that most people think is true that you know to be false? Well, I was going to contact you about it yesterday, but I was like, I'll just wait. Uh, so yesterday it was said that, you know, like that Cardi B, you know, had her baby and the name was revealed, but it, it's weird because I interviewed Migos. Migos, right, yeah.

Right. At E3, right? Yeah, at E3. That was like a few weeks ago, right? Yeah, it was almost a Migos, right, yeah. Right. At E3, right? Yeah, at E3. That was like a few weeks ago, right? Yeah, it was almost a month ago. EA, EA. EA, EA. We talked a lot about EA.

But we talked about a lot of things. And no one from the Zeitgang reached out to say, oh my god, I can't believe that Offset said the name of his baby in the interview. Right. Yeah. We kind of glanced over that. I'd like to circle back to that audio. Oh, you have the audio.

I have the audio. Actually, you had a scoop that you were just kind of sitting on. I was surprised no one back to that audio. Oh, you have the audio. I have the audio. Actually, you had a scoop that you were just kind of sitting on. I was surprised no one contacted me about it, and now it's being like I was scooped. Wow. Because I had the story almost a month ago. Scoop DeVille, scooping this. So many times we get to play, everything gets so serious.

Life is serious out here. Yeah. You know what I mean? We don't play unless it's EA. EA. EA. You got a baby name play unless it's EA. EA. Get a baby name when we coach. EA.

Whoa. I think it's right there. I think I heard that. It's literally right there. That's crazy. Let's hear it again. Get a baby name when we coach. There it is.

Get a baby name when we coach. Wow. Get a baby name when we coach. Get a baby name when we coach. That sounds, oh, okay. Thank you, Nick. And that sounds nothing like me. Right.

That sounds exactly like Offset. Yeah. That's him. And so I, you know, serious journalists like myself get scooped all the time. But this one hurt especially. I feel like I really missed out on some hot clicks. In a way, I thought you were exercising restraint because you're like, I don't know if he was just, you know, off the sauce. If he was too, you know, off that loud pack that he let that slip and didn't want that out there.

I thought you were having some journalistic integrity. I encourage everyone to go back to the original episode where that aired, and that is exactly how the audio plays. That's my myth. I was scooped. It happens. It happens. I'm a Pulitzer Prize.

I mean, my Pulitzer i'll you know you basically watched it dissolve before your eyes right yeah i had the scoop of the century of dumb baby names also i don't know if if any of you follow cardi b on instagram her stories the amount of gifts she was getting it was like i don't know like i get it you know like what do you get someone who already has everything that's having a baby but But she literally had like 700 strollers, like different ones. I was starting to feel bad. I was like, damn, you know, you only need a couple of strollers. Oh, gifts, like a meme type gift, like a gift image?

So I was like, huh. Sitting here, all these gifts. I'm sorry, gifts. Sorry, let me speak the Queen's English. She received many gifts. Many gifts. I'm sorry, gifts. Sorry, let me speak the Queen's English. She received many gifts. Many gifts. But yeah, it was one of those moments where I was just like, that is too many strollers

that you've been gifted. Yeah. Is she gonna like donate them? Well, she couldn't obviously be like on the things like, and this is what so-and-so got me, this is what so-and-so got me, and I'm gonna give it away. I'm sure at some point, like there were ones that were clearly like that spaceship looking one. That's probably like the Rolls Royce of strollers.

Yeah, that's a gift from Mr. Musk. Oh, from Elon. Yeah, no. What I sent the baby was my mixtape with a bunch of lullabies that I composed. Just a Lil Zam mixtape. Lil Zam, yeah. Speaking of regifting and mixtapes, is it weird that they took the name of their last two albums

and gave it to the baby? I think that that is Culture 3 just dropped. Culture and Culture 2. Oh, and just called it Culture? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. This is Culture 3. I guess this is what, is that what they call the child?

I don't know, but this is the third Culture. It sounds like, you know, I'm not sure how to knock that. I guess this is what, is that what they call the child? I don't know. Oh. But this is the third culture. It sounds like, I'm not sure how to knock that. I guess they spelled it differently. With a K. With a K. It's not the same, Jack. Right.

My bad, my bad. Although it sounds like. Yeah, it's like cool, but then it's like cool with a K. It's a daughter, right? They got a little girl? Yeah. Yeah.

That is honestly. Wait, you didn't know that culture was a girl's name? Wow. Well, in Japan, culture is a man's name. Oh. Japanese, yeah.

My grandfather's name was culture. I feel sorry for you. I'm actually the godmother of culture. Yeah, but they call me the clout mother, and it's cool. Because your clout score is like 83 or something like that. Yeah, I got to be like the guardian of this kid's clout. Big responsibility. That's one mistake my wife and I made is we gave our dogs names that we liked for children,

and then we couldn't name our kids those names, which were Miles and Finn. And so, yeah, I also couldn't name them Miles because, you know, Miles Davis. Because we were exes. Right. Yeah, because we were exes, and I didn't want you to get any ideas. Yeah, I know. I know. Whatever.

But you still asked me to co-host the show, Jack, so you're saying there's a chance. Uh-huh. All right, guys. Let's get into the stories of the day. See how uncomfortable you got? Oh, God. You got so tense. We'll circle back to that.

We'll circle back on that. Put a pin in our love. Put a pin in it, and let's move on to Papa. The Papa John, John Schnatter, who is the king of Louisville. Big name down there uh he you know people who live in louisville know this dude's been problematic for a while he has not been spotted anywhere not drunk or on cocaine for uh years but he has also been doing some it's also been doing some kind of shady things behind the scenes yeah like when the fucking november we talked about

this when he was basically blaming his the poor performance of his pizza business on all those blacks you know getting all crazy about blue lives matter whatever the fuck it was you know what i mean like the protests he was trying to say to his shareholders that's why we're not doing well right because it's it's dividing people, again, and I can't say this enough, you create diabetic shock inducing pizza. Right. And it's just not good, objectively. It's bad pizza. So now we find out in Forbes, they were saying last week, they reported last week that there was a conference call in May that like the company like corporate did on like racial media sensitivity training and just sort of like, basically like, how to not be racist

in public out loud class. And the papa of all sensitive media. He got crazy. He says some shit. He's like, well, Colonel Sanders called blacks the N-word.

And it was like bemoaning the fact that- But said the N-word. Yeah, but said it. And I don't want to say it because I don't like hard R N-word. I will rap it because that's my right

and my privilege as a person of color. But when I'm quoting racists, can't do it. it so anyway he was like basically bemoaning the fact that there was the colonel sanders let people were letting him rock back then or whatever yeah and then like made mention about how like you know they said that he uh recalled growing up in indiana where he said people used to like drag black people from their trucks until they died. And then was supposedly saying those comments were intended to demonstrate his stance against racism. Right. But nonetheless, people on the call were mortified.

Yeah. Yeah. And now what? He's resigned? So, yeah, he resigned. And it turns out it was not the NFL players who were holding the stock price down because today, after he resigned yesterday, the stock price has shot up. So it turns out it was maybe his fault in the fact that they had just a disaster of a human being in charge of the company.

Yeah. Just get a bacon feta from Domino's. Seriously, guys. Yeah. You know how we rock with the Dom. The bacon fence? Yeah. Wait, bacon feta?

Bacon feta? Dude, it doesn't sound like it'd be good, but it's really good. That's a new Domino's pizza? That's my custom order. Oh, you can get feta now at Domino's? Thin crust or regular crust? Regular crust.

Thank you. But then you can, if you do bacon feta barbecue sauce on the pizza, that is why, that's a fusion. That's the future. That's the future. That's mask off. Wow. That's how future that is.

I just want my food to kill me. I want to be murdered by my food. Bacon feta sound good and then you're like, barbecue? And I was like, alright. Instead of tomato sauce. Yeah, this is and then you're like, barbecue. And I was like, all right. Instead of tomato sauce. Yeah, this is Athens, Greece meets Athens, Georgia. Exactly. Already got the tagline from the-

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but still don't buy Papa John's pizza. They're still a terrible company. He still makes money from them. And the pizza is just garbage. The only good thing, and I'll say this again, I'll give him one thing, the garlic sauce.

Yeah. Which is good. I'll dip everything in there. That's good. I ate an old scarab with that the other day. There. That landed in my pool. Vote with your wallet

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.

I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

Was she selling drugs? No. State secrets? No, no. Actually, she let somebody touch her boob whilst stripping, which is not allowed in the state of Ohio, one of my home states, probably the state I spent the most time in growing up.

You're playing a drinking game, take a shot now. Take a shot. Jack mentioned where he lived. Great state, and one of the reasons you know it's a great state is because the law there is that patrons are not permitted to touch a nude or semi-nude performer unless they are a family member. So, you know.

That's the most. Don't worry, officer. This is my daughter. What the fuck? No, you know what happened? It wasn't that someone touched her. She was motorboating what she thought thought were quote-unquote patrons but turned out to be quote-unquote gestapo right uh because suddenly like vice was like they plain

clothed cops entered the strip club to basically gotcha her wow how did they find the cops who were willing to do that yeah she was doing she's doing's just doing her job, god damn it. Right. I mean, I don't know anyone who, like the only times I've heard about people taking, like people who patronize these strip clubs

and get upset is when they try and be like, she messed my neck up. And it's really more about seeking damages about a physical thing, not like,

I was shocked that the stripper allowed me to put the money on her nude body. I didn't know what I was getting into when I entered this club. I was here for the stripper allowed me to put the money on her nude body. I didn't know what I was getting into when I entered this club. I was here for the wing buffet. Right. The people who get mad about this are the same people you see in those closed circuit videos where they're putting the piece of ice on the ground in the grocery market and then slipping.

Oh, right. Exactly. Yeah, so it was crazy. They arrested her and I think two other dancers at the club. And she posted bonds, like six grand she had to pay or something. As if horny puritanical laws were not made to be broken. That's crazy. Unless within the family.

Yeah, as someone who has been to a strip club with my dad, I don't recommend it. You shouldn't do it. It's gross. We've all been there. We've all been there. We've all been there. Yeah, and they immediately, they have already dropped the charges against her.

So it was clearly just a harassment thing. She missed her second performance on her Make America Horny Again tour. So she basically got, they cost her some money. What they also did is they gave the world a mugshot where she looks awesome. And I feel like that'll be a dope dorm room poster. Like the way that douchey dudes have the Frank Sinatra mugshot on their wall.

I feel like this could be the resistance mugshot poster. I mean, although her politics don't totally fall in line with that. But I think despite that, I think it's awful that people are subjected to this kind of transparent harassment. Yeah. Like because you are a legal foe and ex-mistress of the president. Yeah. Like I'm not on board with everything Stormy Daniels says and does. But there. What is all this not on board with everything Stormy? I take all my political cues from Stormy Daniels. and does, but they're... Wait, what is all this not on board with everything Stormy Daniels...

I take all my political cues from Stormy Daniels. What are you guys talking about? It should be that Jack is wearing a screen-printed T-shirt with Stormy Daniels mugshot. She's very conservative. And again, that's not the part that bugs me. It's just really sad... Sad.

...that it's gotten this far. Because I was like, man, I wonder when people are like, we're going to see this kind of just blatant fuckery from like, you know, just shakedowns because you are at odds with the president. I mean, I wonder if this is them being like, oh, yeah, you want to interrupt Mitch McConnell while he's having lunch? Well, here we're going to interrupt you at work. Mitch McConnell probably motorboats his relatives oh for sure yeah they motorboat his fucking neck skin yeah yeah get under that it should be illegal for his neck skin to make contact with any free human being even even a family member in his defense it kind of functions as a double motorboat. It's like the Titanic. There's just two floors.

Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I cut off all the flooding in my throat. Also, the video of him being harassed while leaving and entering a restaurant, it's just worth checking out for his tucked in high-waisted jeans it's yeah it's a look he looks great uh all right guys let's talk tea oh uh please john kelly got a little bit messy

possibly by accident but uh he is a messy little bitch and during uh when trump was you know When Trump was talking shit to our NATO allies during the NATO breakfast that is supposed to be just a formality where everybody exchanges pleasantries, John Kelly was in the background. And it looked as if he was grimacing and looking away in pain yeah well the second trump started being like telling merkel like trying to just be like oh germany is under control of russia is when he really got off the train and like leans back looks away kaylee bay hutchinson who is our representative to nato uh former representative of the state of texas i think she's a senator she's the one sitting next to trump and is like a like just stoic like i'm a sculpture and you won't read me and Mike Pompeo on the other side of Trump is sort of like they're doing the same thing but Kelly really just sort of like leans back looks away right and you reminds you of that time when like the cameras

were focused focused on him while Trump was uh saying nice things about the white supremacists yeah like during like right when Kelly had come on, it was like one of his first days on the job and he's just like grimacing with his arms crossed off to the side of the press conference. It felt like that a little bit. It's not like aggressive where you see him like eye roll and be like, ugh. But like he has a physical response and turns away.

And you know, of course, I think the Washington Post like had a body language expert like analyze it and like he's clearly uncomfortable and agitated. Which is always the peak of journalism, body experts racket yeah i want that job be like uh yeah him arm was not where arm was supposed to be and therefore not good but yeah either even without the expertise you know you've been in a situation where you're like with somebody who starts saying some dumb shit and you're like oh no i, I look like I'm visibly cosigning this because I'm next to this person. And you sort of begin

to be like, trying to make physical distance like, oh yeah, I'm not really... With this. That must have been shitty for him. I'm going to be straight with you guys. When I watched this, I was like, it's a little ambiguous. Like, he could just be... You know, it wasn't clear that he was trying to separate himself

to me, a non-body language expert. But the fact that Sarah Sanders was then like, no, he was not reacting to the president. He was reacting to the fact that his breakfast was only pastries and cheese. He was literally farting. They literally came up with the worst excuse like which is either them trolling people or. No that was them just having to respond with something that

wasn't a total like nonsensical response. Right. They should have like just been like you know he thought he was going to get a Denny's Grand Slam breakfast and I guess they do different things out in Brussels. Like Kay Bailey Hutchinson was supposed to slip a malactate and she slipped. And so he was getting a little stinky.

You can't sniff a picture yet. So you'll have to believe us. I mean, why can't you just say that was a general who understands how fucking military alliances work and mutual defense agreements. And you have someone here trying to like just completely subvert it and being like he was sharding himself it could have been that he's like yeah honestly i was so angry i sharded myself and i was shifting weight to my other side i don't know um yeah i've read some analysis of this breakfast and apparent so apparently germany came in and was like really trying to trying to hold out their hand to Trump.

And they were like, yeah, so because you forced us to increase spending, we went all the way to 2%. Your leadership. They were basically doing the psychoanalyzing, like he just wants a win thing that the media is always doing with Trump. And they didn't realize he was just wanted to fight. So now, even though they're all moving toward the 2% goal of spending 2% of their GDP on defense, he has now said behind the scenes that he wants everybody's GDP at 4%, like the United States, which is unprecedented and nobody agreed on it. And no one spends yeah again like

we do on defense so that's why we have a wholly uneducated population and we don't have things like basic medical care anyway the point being everyone looks like shit and can't read yeah oh because your little missiles yeah real cute but yeah i you know i i kind of felt for him in that case because like there's no way he can act like what Trump was saying was anywhere even near the vicinity of fact or truth. Yeah. And then has to be sat on that side of the table with that knowing full well this is like a decorated general. Right. Anyway. So Trump is now in England where he is expected to be, you know, vigorously protested at every turn. He is expected to be, you know, vigorously protested at every turn.

And so he's just going to be hovering above England in a helicopter at all times, just like trying to stay away from protesters. And to counteract that, the mayor of London has approved a giant blimp-sized balloon of Trump. Yeah, of a Trump baby crying with a cell phone. With a mobile. Mobile. What they need to do, also just set off some orange flares from the ground and let that smoke go up. And then they'll be like, yeah, we see you. But we see you, orange man.

Yeah, so that's what he's up to. We'll probably have more updates on that. He's gonna be like, I was there, the food was garbage. Their team isn't even in the World Cup final. Do you think he listens to people's impressions of him and like tries to hit those points because it's like attention because I was noticing it during that breakfast he said billions and billions like no five times it's like a thing he loves to say he only has like so many words yeah of course like that's why there's that amazing video of all the times he said billions and billions and billions and billions

and billions and billions. Have you seen that video? I think it's Meshuggah or something. A metal band. A billion? No, it's to a metal song. It's like, the blast beats on it are crazy. Meanwhile, back in the United States, Peter Strzok, is how I'm pronouncing

it, is getting grilled on Capitol Hill. Grilled on the hill. It's our salad of the day. Grilled on the hill. It's a wedge salad. Tell us about, this is the dude who was texting with his girlfriend. Lisa Page, I think was her name, who was an FBI lawyer.

So Peter Strzok is an FBI agent. Right. And he was having an affair with a lawyer at the FBI. And then people, they got into their personal text messages and found stuff where they're going back and forth. And they hung on this one of like, you know, we'll stop him or talk about Trump or whatever. Which is not good. Yeah. That's not something you want an FBI agent to say. People like House Republicans like Bob Goodlatte and Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes, they have all been at sort of the forefront of trying to change the optics around this investigation by pointing to this cherry-picked text and say, oh, this guy worked with Mueller, therefore, ipso facto, Mueller equals a hack, partisan, witch hunt.

the problem is like it was cherry picked. And this guy, him and Paige, they had a lot of shit to say about fucking everyone. Like whether it was like Eric Holder, like he didn't even have, he wasn't really feeling Eric Holder. He was like saying stuff like he had questions about what would happen if Hillary won. And like, you know, he talks in another thing

about how a fellow agent like pegged him as a Kasich supporter or something. So clearly like even to other people, it wasn't like- He called Bernie Sanders a slut? He's so wild. He did talk shit about Bernie Sanders, didn't he? He was just saying shit about with all the fact-checking.

He just felt like the way Hillary Clinton was getting fact-checked but pointing to newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post. Being like, check out my website. Right. These are all newspapers that were publicly endorsing Clinton. Anyway, the bottom line is- He was just a horny, messy bitch. He was horny.

And you know what? He had opinions on it. But again, here's the problem with all of this. Their whole thing is they need to paint him as a partisan to try and sow doubt into the motivations of this Mueller investigation. But here's the thing. On Rachel Maddow last night, she devoted like 30 minutes to this. She was talking about this operation called Operation Ghost Stories about these two Russian

agents who moved to Canada and assumed the identities of two deceased younger Canadians from like the 60s and use their identities to basically become Canadians, live in Toronto, assimilate, start a family, become Westerners, get rid of their accents, don't speak Russian. Then they moved to France where the man in the relationship continued his graduate degree, then came back to the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Ever fucking heard of it? Yeah. Ever heard of it?

Yeah, I went to school in Boston. Don't worry about it. Yeah, so these people were essentially the fucking Americans, right? The TV show of Russian spies meant to basically become what, like, not look like Russians. Even their own kids didn't know they were Russian spies. Peter Strzok

was, like, running this operation called Operation Ghost Stories, and he had been watching them for like a decade, basically was onto them. He snuck like microphones in their house, recorded everything they said. He found out how they were communicating with Russia through this thing called steganography,

which is basically like, I think, you know this as a hacker. I was going to say, as a hacker, I have nothing but respect for everything being described. And I also understand it. Yeah, so steganography, this is trippy. They were basically encoding messages within images. Yes. Encrypting messages within the pixels of an image.

So then if they had a program in Moscow, they could take the image, run it through there, and be like, oh, this is what they're saying. Then they upload a picture, and then these agents in the U.S. could download the photo and get their marching orders. They go in, and then there's pixels, and then inside of in the US could download the photo and get their marching orders. They go in and then there's pixels and then inside

of the pixels are the secrets. Thank you. When you get, you gotta zoom in a lot and you find the right pixel. This kind of feels violent like you're hack-splaining to me. Listen, I want everyone, I want as I can to know. Thank you for putting it in terms we can understand. To put it in lay, so you

zoom in on the pixel. And look at it. For new listeners, you might not realize, Jamie's a hacker. I'm a hacker. You might not have seen her sunglasses, but they're fucking big. They're so small.

Yes. It would shock you how small my sunglasses are. So you zoom in, and then you click on it, and if it hums for you, it's ready. Yeah. And then it bloomsoms and the secret comes out but not a lot of people know anyway peter struck he saw through all that he fucking got into their safety deposit box where he found like film negatives that had been like cut and altered

so you couldn't read what the company was of the film and he found like he found one frame that still had a company name on it and it was like this Russian film camera and it was of one of the people in their 20s. So he's like, holy shit, you are Russian. And then basically began watching them and busted them in 2010 along with this whole operation. Like these people were referred to as like illegals like in Moscow or whatever,

how the FBI referred to them. But basically this guy is a, his business is Russian spy hunting. Yeah. And he finds, he is not. catches russian shenanigans exactly right and so this guy is not here to fuck with donald trump he is here to look out for the united states and if they are being attacked by a hostile foreign power in this case russia which we were like that's so again nobody doubts that at this point and so this i'm pretty sure this thing is still going on. Mind you, he already testified in front of this joint committee of the House Judiciary

and Oversight Committees last week for like 10 hours, but they won't release a transcript because it's probably filled with too much truth. Right. So they've had to do this public thing now. It's a total dog and pony show to make him look like, you know, they just want to paint him in the worst light possible. Right. So, for instance, they're asking him questions that they know he won't answer because they

talked to him for like 10, 12 hours last week and they know he won't answer them. And then when he doesn't answer them because he legally isn't allowed to because he's been directed by the FBI not to not to answer them. So they ask him the question. He says, as you know, I can't answer that due to this order from the FBI. Withholding. Right. The Republicans say, all right, you're in contempt.

Withholding. This whole court is out of order. And then Drudge puts up on his front page, Strzok refuses to answer Mueller questions. So it's a big plan that's being multi-level scheme by the state-run media. And it's just poor. And media-run state. Poorly ran. But if you just look at this man's credentials, he, you can, like, this guy, he only lives to hunt Russians, basically.

He was even, like, texting back and forth with Lisa Page. He was like, unbelievable, these fucking people. Like, they have no fucking moral. Like, he's like, I'm so glad I'm on Team USA. Like, this guy's a fucking capital P patriot. Patriot. Patriota. And anyway, so suffice it to say that this, from the clips I've seen from what happened today,

he is not scared of this group because he is like, I know what y'all are trying to do. Right. I am, you think I don't get what is going on here. And he's already said, uh, he had a quote come out. I think that right before this, uh,

testimony said their quote is a defiant. Peter Strzok said the scrutiny is facing over his anti-Trump text messages amounts to quote just another victory notch in Putin's belt. According to the FBI officials remarks that he prepared, uh, for today. And then they say in his opening statement that he has never allowed personal opinions to affect his work, obviously, that he knew information during the campaign that had the potential to damage then candidate Donald Trump, but never contemplated leaking it to the press.

And that recent congressional focus on him is misguided and plays into, quote, our enemy's campaign to tear America apart, end quote. Right. Well, because isn't I don't know how publicly available like the information on his work. I certainly had no idea that Operation Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was going on there. So isn't like this becoming very public knowledge now that has to be damaging? Yeah. Yeah. I wait. What do you mean that that just like now all this like undercover work is being made public. Well, no. That operation's over. It's done. Yeah.

And the FBI themselves even posted this story. That's not classified anymore. Got it. Because that was wrapped up in 2010. Got it. But yeah, he was the man. And he was the head, or might still be. Anyway, he was running basically the FBI's counterintelligence operation, meaning we

counter other countries' spying efforts. Right. And that's his business. So, again, it's just, yeah, just look for how the GOP tries to spin this event when this guy, his only crime is being very enthusiastic about trying to catch Russians meddling in our democracy. And being a little horny during the campaign. And horny, for sure. Super horny. Sometimes you get hard during the campaign and it's not good.

Yeah, it's not good. Hey, it happens. I just wish he would say that. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know anything about that. If he would just be like, being horny has never ended well, I think that we as a country could learn a lot.

Right. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.

President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

And we're back! So, guys, just some quick rando updates. Random! Random! Oh my god, you are so random. Oh my god, Jack, you're so Oh my god, Jack is so random today. Jack is loving the random. So random? So random. So random.

So the Thai soccer team, somebody pointed out on Twitter that We're assholes. Just a bunch of jerks. They're little dicks who just need to, no, the coach in addition to sharing his food and, you know, doing all sorts of other cool shit that we talked about, because we were a little hard on the coach for getting them

stuck in there in the first place. Somebody pointed out that in addition to doing all the standard things you would assume you would do if you were stuck in a cave with a bunch of kids that you got stuck in there. I would swim the fuck out. He was teaching the kids to meditate. He actually was like a Buddhist monk. He was raised in a monastery. And he was teaching them to meditate, which presumably helped them stay calm and possibly

conserve oxygen. So that's awesome. That's like his superpower came in handy during the time that they were stuck in there. And the movie's going to come out soon, too. And I think there's already a director attached. Yeah. No, I think it's coming out this weekend. Yeah.

It's already out. No, I could have swore. Did they get the job? I know Bay was gunning for the job. I could have swore there was already a director attached who was like, I will not. Yeah. On deadline, John M. Chu developing second

TIE of K rescue film in an effort to avoid whitewashing. Oh, that's awesome. Apparently, he believes that. He's like, star-ranked? So they're going to be competing TIE of K rescue film in an effort to avoid a whitewashing. So apparently he believes that he's like, so they're going to be competing TIE cave movies are like, if you want to see that

real shit, not that whitewash bullshit. Yeah, this is the guy who did Crazy Rich Asians. He's like, we don't want Scarlett Johansson to be all 12 of the kids.

Yeah, let's keep it. It's just like six Scarlett Johansson, six Emma Stone. And Andy Serkis. Andy Serkis, oh no! Ask the coach. That little hottie.

Gollum, that little hottie. Dream crush. My sweet little crush. So one thing that somebody has pointed out is that sometimes during the previews we mention stories that we don't actually get to. And that's because they're lies. That's because they're things that we made up that are just put there to sort of incept you with liberal propaganda.

I believe I've been reported as dead several times. Be true. No, it's just sometimes we don't have time to get to them. One of the ones that somebody asked about was we teased the story about how the U.S. Army is discharging immigrants. They lured here with the promise of enlistment and eventual citizenship. So, yeah, that is a true story that we just didn't have time to get to. But, yeah, the U.S. Army has been luring foreign nationals to migrate to the US with the promise of citizenship if they serve

this particular program has brought us some of our best soldiers a dude who won soldier of the year which sounds like a title Trump would make up and claim he won if he ever joined the military it sounds like a joke

I think it was US Army soldier of the year he won uh if he ever joined the military seriously it sounds like a joke yeah i want a fucking soldier of the i think it was a u.s army soldier of the years like yeah i think but under uh that same dude now that he's our commander in chief uh the army is dismissing these soldiers and saying they no longer have clearance so pretty fucked up uh we'll link off to the story in the footnotes the thing about that too is a lot of these roles that these soldiers fill are very important to the military. Like, for example, a lot of them are translators that come from Afghanistan and other places, have language skills that our own native-born soldiers, naturalized soldiers, don't have. Like, also being, like, surgeons and doctors.

These people make great contributions to the military. And now even veterans aren't even fucking safe from this bullshit. Right. It's just absurd yeah anyway and a lot of veterans like actual patriots not dudes who just attack women for wearing puerto rican flag shirts in parks in chicago but like actual patriots who have served are like these are the best soldiers that i've ever served with are a lot of times these people who you know come here with the idea of like they just want to be american right they come from all over the place and they're these people who, you know, come here with the idea of like, they just want to be American. Right. They come from all over the place. And these people are willing,

in the pursuit of becoming an American, are willing to put their lives on the fucking line. Yeah. And they still want to discredit that because immigrant. Yes. Wow. The number one trending story on Twitter right now is Build-A-Bear Workshop, which-

Good for them. Yes. Way to go, guys. Did they get nominated for an Emmy? So what happened is they had a campaign where for today, you would go in and pay your age for a Build-A-Bear, or

whatever the fuck they sell. So, like, if you have a two-year-old... Wait, hold on. You just made it so you are Ed Build-A-Bear all the time and don't want to make it sound like you are. Or Jack doesn't know what a Build-A-Bear is and tries to pretend he does know. Jack like you were at Build-A-Bear all the time and don't want to make it sound like you are. Or Jack doesn't know what a Build-A-Bear is and tries to pretend he does know. Jack, what's a Build-A-Bear? Could you describe it?

I will have you know that during my time at Cracked, we interviewed somebody who worked at a Build-A-Bear. Crack. So I know what it is. Not even humble. I know all about the ins and outs of Build-A-Bear. And you started Crack.com, right? I did. No big deal. NDD.

We did not approve that story, by the way. Because it was just, yeah. But anyways. But for people who don't know, Build-A-Bear is a place where you go in and basically- With a child. You build a bear, idiot. Yeah, a stuffed animal that you can put the clothes on, the color, the swag, everything. Design your own.

They make you do that creepy thing where they give you the heart and you have to kiss it. Don't love that part. Oh, I've never actually built a bear. You have to put a heart inside the bear and they put it in the kid's hand and then the Build-A-Bear employee is like, okay, now kiss it. Kiss it. And they do and they're like, okay. And then also accept Jesus Christ as your savior.

Right. And then put it in. And now shove it up the bear's ass. Slow, though. And we're going to Frankenstein that bear off. Slow, though. Slow. It's not beating!

Survive it! Because at the beginning of Build-A-Bear, you pick out a skin suit, and then you have to make out with its heart, shove the heart off its butt, and they're like, now we're going to just- Is that where it's inserted? Yeah. From the bottom? Yeah, you put it in the bottom.

And then they T-shirt gun it full of fluff, and then... Then you dress it. It's beautiful. The person's beautiful. Their thing was, come in and pay your age. Pay your age.

Holy shit. Yes, and so they were overwhelmed with demand, lines wrapping around the block, and they had to just shut it down because they couldn't deal with their own promotion. Way to go, marketing person at Build-A-Bear who just lost their job. Right. Make them stop kissing the hearts.

That's my recommendation. Yes. Skip that. In exchange for fucking this up, we ask that you make them stop kissing the hearts. Do you know how much one costs normally? I don't. They're expensive. Are they?

With the clothes and the shoes and the tiny sunglasses, you've got to get it vaccinated. It's a whole thing. Pet sitting. So there's base bears you buy. So if you want the unicorn, it's like $25. If you want the basic happy hugs, it's like $16. That's embarrassing. You can get the stars and stripes for $25.

But the bear looks terrified of you. Then the accessories. Oh, so you're really saving a lot of money. Come through with a gang of fucking children. Just tell all your kids, be like, we're going to build. I don't care if you're in school. Anybody who lined up should have gotten a thing that said that they could come back and pay their age. Because I'm sure there were kids who were pretty excited about this.

When you go to the website, the top, it has an alert. It's from the fucking government, like a red banner. Alert. Lines have closed for pay your age day event. Per local authorities. We cannot accept additional guests. People rioting and turning cars over. We have closed lines in our US stores.

Anyways, guys, build a bear. No joke. That wasn't the moral of that story at all guys don't fuck with build a bear they will fuck your shit man to be taken seriously they keyed my mother's car uh eminems were announced this morning uh sandra oh has become the first lead actress nominee who is asian uh that is insane that that's true, but then I was like, oh yeah, but there are only a couple

Asian women who get those sorts of roles. That's also crazy. Yeah, it only took, what, 70 years? Right. But Asian people only started existing, I think, 30 years ago. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, well then that explains

the chasm. When I was born. That's what my mom always told me. There. You are the first age. You're the OG. Before that, they had to get John Wayne and Mickey Rooney to play them. Yep. Mickey Rooney is actually my grandfather.

No shit. That's amazing. Yeah, from Breakfast Tiffany's. Or actually, no. No, I'm sorry. That's wrong. It's actually Marlon Brando from Tea House of August Moon. Oh, yes.

Which is another amazing yellow face. They just put eye makeup on him. Yeah. Yeah. And my mom still loves him. She thinks it's his best role. There is. Mom, you can't be.

Problematic babe. Your mom. Anybody who was alive when Marlon Brando was in his prime is just obsessed with him. It doesn't matter. Yeah, I know. They're just like, oh, Brando though. But my mom's like a late stage Brando fan. Yeah.

She's like, he used to play the drums. I'm like, okay. You're like, you're petting a bunch of possums as you say this. I can't deal with all this. Your mom's amazing. Game of Thrones led all series with 22 nominations. Saturday Night Live, Westworld, all got a

bunch of nominees. But HBO, for the first time in 18 years, did not have the biggest Emmy nomination haul. Oh, in general. Yeah. Netflix beat them out this time. So Netflix pulled in 112 nominations, HBO 108, and HBO will now commit ritual suicide. But also, if you think about the number of shows HBO has versus the 4 million shows that Netflix has, percentage-wise, HBO is probably still chilling. Yeah.

HBO's staying. Yeah. Gauntlet thrown. Wait. So HBO is now owned by AT&T and I was reading this thing about how they are owned by AT&T yes that they are now basically saying like they're gonna change to like a Netflix style model of being like we're just gonna carpet bomb you with content right like so much this original a lot of it's gonna suck yeah but but the whole but apparently like

on the call the guy's like we to do what we're doing now. Right. Just like way more. So you know how our brand is synonymous with quality, right? Yeah. Well, fuck all that. We want quantity and quality. We'll call it quantity.

I love when just like someone's idea for the future of a business is like, uh, more? This, but way more. That is always the idea that the business side comes in with uh so you guys are doing this really great thing how do we scale that that's how they that's what they call it so i guess the plan is by having this much tent people are spending minutes a day he's like we need people spending hours got it so yeah good plan time well because i mean if you think about it and this is brilliant. I hadn't thought about this, but hours is more than minutes.

Exactly. Hold on. Holy shit. Hold on. Hey, man, you want a job? Right. Exactly. But Sharp Objects, first episode was dope.

So shout out to HBO. There's no excuse to not make Santa University now, which is great news. I know. Honestly, that's what we're looking at. Santa U. If they're making shitty stuff, do I have a project for them? We're quickly. not make Santa University now, which is great news. Honestly, that's what we're looking at. If they're making shitty stuff, do I have a project for them? We're quickly... We need to make a Santa University

college sweatshirt. Oh, shit. Yeah. Oh, that's for merch? All right, look out, look out, look out. Fuck, what was I going to say? You're talking about Santa University? Oh, they're going to make a budget.

What's crazy is we could very well reach a point where Santa University is like a Game of Thrones-style series, and The Daily Zeitgeist is a TV show on HBO. Look, guys, it's looking great. Right. The future is bright. Two months. I mean, I know Pod Save America is about to have their show on HBO.

Shout out to them. Good for them. But you know what? Come through. Get the high school smokers. We should interview our source, Brett. We don't have time today, but Miles has a friend, Brett, who is an insider in the industry.

We'll have to talk to him. But we want to talk about this movie project that is in production. Has been for seven years, eight years, a number of years. I think 2006 is when it- 12. 12 years. Wow. Yeah, so they started production in 2006.

It's like boyhood status. Uh-huh. But they've been filming continuously since then. It's not like they check in every once in a while and film boyhood. What they did is, the movie is called DAU, D-A-U. You can see the trailer at DAU.xxx. Uh-oh. That's see the trailer at dau.xxx. Uh-oh. That's a little

dangerous. Yeah, there is some nudity, so all of our listeners who are tender-eyed listeners, don't check it out. We don't have that many children listeners from our user survey. Yeah, we found out. Shout out to the guy who answered our listener survey and identified as an age 64

Apache attack helicopter. That was so dope. Are you a man, woman, other? This guy's identified as an AH-64 attack helicopter. Hit us up. We want to give you a job writing for us. So what they did is they built an entire city in 2006. And everything inside that city is from the 1950s soviet era so you couldn't come in with

any cell phones you couldn't come in with like anything that didn't exist even shoes shoes like journalists had to get haircuts to get in to look the part and not jar the right just to interview them um it was overseen by this director who has only made two movies, Ilya... Kurzynovsky. Kurzynovsky, like I said. He has two directing credits, but he somehow has tricked people into giving him all this money to build a city and then make it into his own weird giant big brother, but via time travel, because everything looks exactly like it's from the 1950s. Right. Even the toilets are built to code of what a toilet.

The toilets are racist. No, he had the diameter of the pipes changed so it was the exact same thing because he wanted the whoosh and sound of the toilet to be exactly this. This dude is out of his head. Nobody on the inside. So they brought in all these different people who they interviewed just by pulling them off the street and being like, hey, what makes you happy?

What is your ultimate dream? And the director would be like, yes, that one. This person. And they just had to live as if they lived in 1950s Soviet Russia or Soviet bloc, I think. It's really cool. When you look at the trailer, it looks like somebody took a modern camera

into a 1950s setting. With all kinds of weird stuff. So they've been shooting for 12 years and now they say they're going to release the footage as 13 feature films a tv show and like three documentaries uh he he like he has the whole place bugged and has two-way mirrors with cameras behind them so it's all just like really weird like he's capturing people who don't realize they're necessarily being filmed right and he was

trying to create this like totality well yeah i mean everyone's doing it voluntarily like and they know that they're participating in it but the create like their thing is like there are rules like you can't call it the set you call it the institute and you don't call it a scene you call an experiment and you don't call it shooting is not called the director he's called the boss yeah or the the head of the institute so you're're just getting gaslighted by this weird thing over the course of years. Right, but then he instituted this system of fines for people. He said people were talking about Facebook and stuff, and if you reported someone, they would get fined.

So then snitching became a huge thing out of it, because totalitarianism, it breaks down trust, so people now just like rat people out and then on top of it there was like a couple people who visited and he was just being super creepy with them yeah which you would expect from somebody who's like i'm gonna build a time capsule like the fucking village totalitarianism yeah and you have to do everything i say right uh yeah there was like this detail where he was interviewing assistant directors and he happened to like this one candidate who was a pretty young lady and he kept her waiting all day. And when they met, she was like, oh, hi, I've been waiting for you the whole day.

And he said, thank you. I've been waiting for you my whole life. That's when I would run away. And then I started asking her when she lost her virginity and can you come up to a guy in a club and fuck him without finding out as much as his name? Which is a weird question. So yeah, just a super creep, which not surprising at all.

Super creep! I still have not passed the whole 13 movies thing. Too much. Too much movies. It's the same thing as the HBO thing of like, why did- It'll probably end up on HBO. That's true.

I mean, it seems like a prime candidate. There's plenty of space. I just don't get it. 700 hours of footage they have. Who is like, oh, awesome. I can't wait to see 700 hours of this creepy guy's idea. You know who has the worst job? Is that assistant editor. Yeah.

She has the worst life. To be fair, he was waiting for her his whole life. His whole life. His whole freaking life. So yeah, that's an interesting story to keep an eye on. Dal.xxx. Jamie. Yeah.
