as fuck and we don't care who we harm actually that's a really bum move on the fans i'm not backing that up but a taste of just how fucked up some of these fans are i am not like that uh i just you know i talk my shit in private to my friends and my close checkers. Lakers fans are... I was pulling for the Lakers this whole time. Love Frank. Love LeBron. Frank, I've loved more and more Frank more and more by the day. And I'm like...

Gave a little shout out to Jim O'Brien in an interview last night. That was pretty cool to see. But your name's Jack jack so it's not the same yeah yeah he got my name wrong unfortunately for new listeners my dad used to work with frank uh frank used to pick me up from high school uh when he was a manager at the university i Kentucky. So I should thank you, too. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a multiverse, and who knows if I had been more of a dick when he picked me up from school,

or less of a dick. I was kind of a dick. I was like, Frank, don't talk to me. Shut up. You work for my dad, asshole. Let's go to Carl's Jr. But, yeah, yeah. What were you going to say about the fans?

How awful we are? Yo, I'm getting like texts from people being like they still shouldn't have lost those two games like oh the heat were the heat were mediocre at best uh those takes are just such trash and come from people who like i don't even i can't even imagine how unhappy you are in your life when you're still walking around walk out walk out of the bubble with the chip and you're like honest i mean should have wrapped it up in those mamba jerseys yeah should have happened then but you know what in that way it was the most mamba shit because lose that was the smack in the face they needed to just go out there in the in game six and be like okay we're fucking

just it's it's just smash time now i mean when lebron's locked in like that's the thing somebody was making the point that uh like so the finals had the the best player in the heat was jimmy butler and he had this game five that was just incredible next level locked in and him and lebron were going back and forth and it was one of the best finals games ever but game six jimmy butler was gassed he was just like yo i can't what am i supposed to do i can barely move and lebron was just same level he was just at the exact same level like that is a a metaphor for his whole career it's just like he's able to stay at this level year after year after year um that's it's not really a i don't think it's a debate between lebron and mj it's just they're different they're just like it's one has longevity one yeah totally

uh but man that was that was fun and shout out to the nba for zero posies uh the whole bubble. Meanwhile, the NFL, Major League Baseball. What a mess. Hey, Miles. Yeah. We are lucky and thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the funniest dudes out here doing it. He is the hilarious, the talented Mr. Nick Turner. I can't be a faker. Congrats to your team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Here's some news that I love not.

RIP to the season of Dak Prescott. Oh, man. Oh, that was awful. Oh, it's awful. Left there dangling. That's my team. That's my guy. That's my fantasy. Ride or my guy. That's my fantasy.

Ride or die. I'm a Cowboy fan. I was born in Fort Worth, Texas. And that was a really sad day at my house. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, any just awful leg breaks like that, compound fractures, anything like that, it's just the worst thing to witness as a fan, obviously, because it takes a second for it to register and you're like oh no no no no no

and then you feel doubly worse because you the players already know it's like that's it's a wrap for me i don't watch him i can't watch him alex smith came back the same day i never watched his horrible leg break i never never watched paul george i still haven't seen uh dac prescott but yeah these are for non-sports fans these are like some of those gruesome leg breaks for dac i i look eduardo silva obviously abu diabi um why does it always happen to arsenal players in the premier league too i just want to bring that up too yeah i still i never forgave uh that movie the blind side for for showing me the theismann leg break. Like, just boom, right off the top. They're just like, hey.

I guess, like, 20 years later when the person has gone on to have an okay remainder of their life, it's not as bad. But, yeah, Dak's tough. I don't know. He seems like he's the sort of dude who will come back. Was he the player that Skip Bayless was coming at for saying he was depressed or something? I don't think so. I think you're thinking of Michael Phelps.

No, no, no. I can't believe that. An NFL player or whatever. I don't follow the NFL. Could be. I have nothing to offer this conversation aside from commiserations around an awful, awful injury. Whenever I see those Michael Phelps commercials, commercials i think somebody get this guy some help he's still he's still he still needs help he's still suffering after all these years

yeah it's just not enough smoking weed that's what he's more of uh nick we are gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first First, we are going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We are going to talk about the reboot of Superman Returns that was planned for the White House. We are going to talk about the beginnings of the Supreme Court nomination hearings for Amy Coney Barrett. We're going to talk about what the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list looks like right now. We're going to talk about yet another thing that these danged millennials have killed, the coffee shop, and the Wright's new herd immunity plan, which is called the Great Barrington Declaration. It's basically the naming version of the Tea

Party dressing up like old-timey guys in white powder wigs. They're like, this will sound important and will appeal to 60-year-old white men. But it's actually a herd immunity plan that is supposed to counteract the Democrats and Joe Biden's plan for shutting down America, a.k.a. like the scientific consensus. And it's it's a mess. idea they really uh did not pay attention to uh nailing down the details which seems to be a a problem with this administration just in general and fox news 100 uh but first nick we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that is revealing about who I did a deep dive on John Fetterman John Fetterman, if you don't know, is the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania and his wife was

a racial verbal assault in the supermarket she is Brazilian, so naturally somebody cornered her in the supermarket and yelled is Brazilian, so naturally somebody cornered her in the supermarket and yelled the N-word at her repeatedly and followed her into the parking lot.

So then I looked up Fetterman and I ask everyone with a phone right now to do so because this man He looks like a bad guy from Mulan. Yes, he definitely looks like he stole a correction officer's uniform and used it to escape prison. It's wild.

It's an aggressive. Them as a couple. I'm like, hold on. There's certain things where like he's got a really, really intense goatee. Yeah. And he's also got the same vibe of Jaws from James Bond. Yeah. Right. Like kind of lurching around like very big.

Yeah. Look at that. Wow. Like that guy. Yeah, for sure. If that person assailant had known what this woman's husband looked like uh i'm assuming i think she did i think if she knows what that guy's wife looks like right i think he she probably knows um but uh no he went to harvard i he didn't

he didn't escape from prison no he's he's on paper a really chill guy. He worked with the Big Brothers and Big Sisters and got obsessed with the idea of your birth being a random lottery for your outcomes and things like that and how that affects his idea of fairness. But he looks scary as fuck. Yeah, he just never changed his look. That's dope.

More power to him. Why should he? Why should he yeah he doesn't need to there's just something even like when you look at his wikipedia page he's like looks just so underdressed for whatever official photo this is like it's clearly his bureaucrat like yearbook photo where he goes to the capitol and like yeah this is like a lieutenant governor and he's wearing like a rayon safari. Not happy to be there. I would say it's like one of Quicksilver's nicest button-ups.

Yeah. Oh, for sure. Yeah, that's definitely a top-level billabong. But his smirk definitely says that he wasn't smiling, and the photographer was like, come on, Lieutenant Governor, give us a little something more. And he just went, hmm. Like, I will raise the corners of my mouth

flatly oh we're out of time all right thanks john oh man i did not bother to look yeah because i read that headline and usually in my morning i'm like okay where's my daily dose of racism and i'm like okay god the fucking lieutenant governor's wife but yeah i did not connect thank you for uh doing that little bit of work to get us to see the whole picture. Wow. Yeah, the closest he comes to smiling is looking a little bit pissed off. That's as far as he goes.

Just a little bit pissed off. Right, yeah. Nick, what is something you think is underrated? Underrated is growing your own weed. I have been a weed smoker for a long time i think we're all doing different things in quarantine one thing i'm doing i know jack you're growing humans i am growing weed ozymandias style yes in the lab what are you doing like indoor outdoor i'm doing indoor i i wanted to do outdoor but i i don't have outdoor that's just mine i live in a

there's four units in this building and uh one other unit smokes hella weed so that's why i can't go outside because i'm pretty sure they'll steal it well you do the thing i saw the thing on reddit where people were hanging tomatoes on their weed plants so from afar it just looked like you had a wild ass tomato plant that's so funny wait like growing a tomato plant like right next to it but you know so like you know how like if you grew a tomato plant you get like those wire frames you'd kind of put around it yeah yeah upward so like you put that around your bud plant and then just kind of like surreptitiously like hang tomatoes around it so visually they're like not even looking forward because you're used to seeing that shape with red i mean like that's tomato plant rather than being like whoa what are those wow get that loop out i want to see the trichomes

on this tomato yeah exactly um yeah that's really smart i don't think i can get away with it um but i just i don't know i guess i just thought it was i always thought it was more expensive um but um but i i grew one plant and and i didn't do that great but i got two more after that i got like a quarter of an ounce out of it which for the amount of money i spent is not good yeah not a good yield on that one no because i'm pretty sure i paid a quarter's worth for the plant as a teenager. Oh, I had to buy all the stuff. Oh, back in the day. I was like, no, no. I mean, that's that's weed parlance.

Oh, teenager. Like a clone is like a very small one. And then if it's grown up a little more. Oh, got you. Got you. Got you. Like eight inches tall. They call it a teenager.

So I said back when i was a teenager i'm like you've been holding this plant since your teens yeah no my parents are cool but not that cool um it's an f1 mother plant man i gotta keep this thing usually the plants only take three months but this one apparently 25 years um so you're back to buying you think so well no i mean i got i'm doing a second round i got two plants and they are growing crazy and i'm so happy about it and i just got more light and i put it closer that was it that was it that was it yeah the light was what uh what kind of grow lights you're using because i found that my humans uh don't respond well to grow lights when i put it

in the closet that we keep them in. Or in that heated centrifuge. Yeah, you got to make sure to keep the lights two feet away from the plants. Okay. Or the humans, I guess. Yeah, yeah. Reading the same articles. All right.

But yeah, no, it's great. It can be done and it's not that expensive. All right. I fucking love it. Everyone should go grow their own weed. Hell yeah. I don't care about the laws in your state there you go let them know yeah it's not gonna be me going to jail and meeting other john federman cut cut the daily zeitgeist cannot endorse this message cut to some fucking trial

where nick turner's on the stand and they play this clip this can't be real this can't be a real law are you serious i was on a comedic podcast being flippant oh i got i got uh taken down by podcasts like chris delia that wasn't uh his only problem i would say that was it taken down by podcast yeah if it weren't for podcasts he'd still be president yeah that was the word that yeah that was the word that went that was the word that went around in the stand-up community guys you gotta watch out for these podcasts apparently uh they record the shit you say and broadcast it so if you're really out there

with your uh predatory uh inclinations don't go on a podcast yeah save it for patreon uh exactly what is uh nick what is something you think is overrated? Look, I got to say, I love TDZ and the TDZ community. You know, I'm a fucking zeitgang. Can you see that? Zeitgang till I die. However, last time I was on this show, I got a little bit of some bad advice. Uh-oh.

Last time I was on this show, I got a little bit of some bad advice. Uh-oh. Quar was just getting started, and I was interested in ideas for games that you can play remotely with your friends. Okay. All right. And I said I'd gotten Steam, and then your community reached out, and not one person. I would say maybe half a dozen people.

Wow. They implored me to download tabletop simulator got it and uh this is one of the biggest mistakes of my life why would i all nearly lost friendships um other people to download this tabletopulator is not for normies. Right. Got it. This is what I did not understand. You have to use basically every keyboard, every key on your keyboard when you're playing Tabletop Simulator. And not only that, but you have to teach your friends how to do it remotely

right after you've taught them how to download Steam, which is the single hardest thing i've ever gone um these are well-meaning people i mean these listeners they're great people i had a question they reached out something that helped them i understand for me not not for me tabletop simulator um no because it's like you it's like when you play a game online, like Monopoly, let's say, you click something and then the dice automatically rolls and then your dog jumps, you know, six spaces or whatever.

And then the cards pop up and you pick them. But on Tabletop Simulator, it doesn't do any of that stuff. You manually have to do all that stuff. And it's not just like doing it with the mouse like it's just like individual like the g button right it's option g nick yes yes oh my god i mean i lost days of my life wow um and uh and 40s of dollars um but uh so a little bit a little bit over so what did you end up landing on like what i know you were looking did you find something that did work out for everybody involved ticket to ride the game well you know like we thought we were going to be playing on you know playing

with our friends remotely forever uh but it only really lasted a month. Ticket to Ride, it's the greatest game and you can play it with your friends and I've also just started playing it alone. And I think in Quora I've played it for 300 hours because Steam records those hours and tells you. And it's embarrassing because

now all my friends go on Steam and they're like, hey, what's up with you at Ticket to Ride? I'm like, I don't know. It's meditative. They broadcast it? They tell you and tell others? Yes. It's just next to your name.

Yeah. How much time you spent doing it. That is brutal. But it's the best $10 I ever spent. Great. And what? You're just riding around a train? No.

You ever play Catan? Yeah. It's kind of like that but rail-based uh but rail-based yeah okay okay yeah i like that i like that yeah yeah that's that's an interesting approach to transparency like if if twitter and like all apps just told people how much time you spent on them. We would fix the problem. Yeah. We would just be like, oh, fuck.

We got to do something about this. I want to know how much time each person spent writing each tweet. That's right. You attach that shit now, it'll shut people up. Or how long it took them to craft an Instagram post or story. It's like, this post, 15 minutes. minutes and you're like what the fuck for this it's a shot of a muffin okay it ruined my trip to thailand but i got this but the gaming hour thing you know it's like half it depends on how you look at it because sometimes it could be a flex or it could be a failure it

doesn't matter because other people like i mean don't fuck with nick he's putting in work he's putting in 17 human years into this game i'm sure if i was like ranked nationally and i had some ticket to ride sponsorships it would be like look he's putting in the work i just got deadlines piling up it also encourages you to give up if you're mediocre after 17 hours. Then you're like, I can't keep going and getting my ass kicked by these people who are beginners. What do you think would be more effective to curb people's use on Instagram or social media? Because so much is tied to your ego. In a way, this thing of just even adding a quantity of hours to how long you're on an app, is that going to – do you think that would affect somebody in the way they'd be like, I'm on here too much or I don't like people knowing I'm on here this much or I don't want people knowing it takes me so long to write a tweet that was just a milquetoast take? Yeah, well, I think the problem is not your main account.

It's your fake account. Yeah. And that's where you spend your time arguing with you know people you went to high school with yeah that's i think south korea has a rule where you can't have fake accounts like they where your uh online identity is attached to your like social security oh everything's more fun that way although it doesn't stop much like you know because the next door app that requires you you know to get verified yeah have an address and then there's still racist is everything yeah it's actually yeah it's worse than twitter somehow and your fucking address yeah what the fuck yeah no, no, South Korea has people bullying pop stars into suicide.

So, yeah. All right, finally, what is a myth? Thanks, Jack. Wow. What's something people think is true you know to be false? The air fryer. I had some friends couldn't say enough about an air fryer. And I had to figure it out. People come on this show and talk about

almost have me.'m like oh okay oh wait do you have one no i don't but i hear i this is a common theme i hear is the praising of the air fryer yeah so uh it sounds like bullshit like cbd i also read a a study that said um one third or two thirds of all c products do not include the CBD is advertised. Oh, wow. But it's yes. CBD bullshit air fryer. Incredible.

I can't I can't explain it. I don't understand it. All I know is that I don't have a big enough one. I thought you were going to take it in the other direction and be like, it's not as good as people. Wow. Not confirmed. We're getting verbal confirmation. I went to a guy's football party.

Thursday night football. I brought my air fryer with me. I drove it over in the car. Fuck no, dude. I was crushing Bud Light seltzers. Hell yeah. Everybody was. I got the strawberry ones.

Everybody knows. The limes, them's for you. seltzers hell yeah everybody was i got the strawberry ones everybody knows everybody knows the limes thems for you um no man it's uh it's everything to me and i cooked um i cooked five things in the air fryer yesterday and it's not it's so it's funny you know it's like one of those things where you find something really healthy and then you eat five times as much right all right because it's healthy what did you what's like what was the most impressive thing because to me the thing that holds me back is like i want to submerge my food in boiling fat yeah and cook it like that and i just don't know if i will get the same vibe from it so what was the thing that you thought this air fryer can't fuck around and do this thing that is meant to be fried god's way um seafood wow i um i fried up some incredible shrimp in there and uh and that was really really eye-opening because i'm really

trying to get lyra to enjoy shrimp. And it's coming along very slowly. She went from adamantly against it to liking it two ways. And I know she likes it fried, and so I tried to do it, and, man, I fucking nailed it. It's so fucking good. Are you, like, batter dipping them in something before you put them in the air fryer? Yeah, so sometimes. i'll try a lot

of different things like when i do wings you know i'll it's mostly about the marinade when you're when you're doing chicken and i will marinate and my secret weapon is coconut milk coconut cream you know the fattier the better wow um some ponzu i like uh i like doing that. But then just putting it, and with the marinade, you don't need a binder, like an egg bath or anything, because it's already wet, and then you can just put it in there. And I'll usually like to do just a tiny bit of flour. If I'm not really trying to get the fried experience, just to dry it up, so it'll fry better.

But then with the shrimp, so it'll fry better. But then with the shrimp, I did the whole thing. I did marinade to the flour, to the egg bath, to the breadcrumbs. Full-on traditional fry prep. And then no oil! None! I didn't even put the coconut in there.

There's no fat in there. You don't add any fat. It's the fucking air, Jack. The way it's circulating, it's just... It's just so satisfying. You don't add any fat. It's the fucking air, Jack. The way it's circulating. It's just... And it's just so satisfying. You get the crisp. You get everything. You get all the flavor because you've marinated it.

And so you've just... You've done all the work and you're saving on any calories from oil. Not one. Wow. Well, you heard it here first. And this episode is being brought to you by the air fryer oh man if i can make my own filet-o-fish you know what i mean wow it's just so fucking small

and i need to do so many batches and i'm like who's ready for six wings now just wait 25 more minutes guys is that how long it takes uh yeah i mean you know bone in chicken um yeah uh usually takes at least half an hour yeah unless like you get it do you put it in at room temp or you're taking like out the fridge straight into the fryer uh yeah yeah fridge usually yeah just checking you know yeah just trying to just trying to cross some T's and dot some I's on mine. Make sure I hop in here correctly. All right, guys, let's take a quick break, and then we'll come back and catch up with our Prez.

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. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

hey and we're back let's just see i mean not a whole lot new with the president which is kind of yeah a nice relief to say. Just some revelations about what was going on behind the scenes when he was feeling better after his stay at Walter Reed and trying to figure out how was he going to reemerge into the world? Was he going to stage a propaganda video that actually stole shots from triumph of the will uh like he ultimately did yeah that did happen that's what ultimately that is what he went with uh big reef install fan yeah yeah oh there's absolutely no no chance that

that was accidental that that wasn't uh if it wasn't intentional then it was because someone in his propaganda wing probably uh miller like had that movie so committed to his brain that like he was just he just knew exactly what shots to choose we have they have like arguments now over parallel nazi thinking yeah like yeah exactly should be just jokes on twitter uh it's like a parallel i don't know kind of obviously thinking the same thing there and it's like you thought exactly to mimic this nazi propaganda just yeah you did okay like um but everything's just been chaotic you know like his it's been wild doctor says he's immune or. Doctor says he's clear to do events because he, quote, poses no risk of transmission.

The only way that you know that you can trust a doctor is if he starts off with saying, look, I've never met the president. Right. From what I can see. And then I listen to that. Right. Right. Right. When you start like he is strong. OK. And he is doing great. Listen to that. Right, right, right. When you start, like, he is strong, okay, and he is doing great. We will not say when he tested negative last. That's irrelevant because I'm trying to trick this sick old man into believing he's healthier than he actually is. And who knows where this is going to lead.

So, to your thing, you were talking about, Jack, about, like, what was going on that, like, how was he going to get out of Walter Reed? Because we saw him basically put his entire Secret Service detail at risk by getting in the tupperware car uh and then breathing a ton so the new york times has this fucking line in their article i cannot i'm just gonna fucking read it fuck it yeah quote in several phone calls last weekend this is when the president was hospitalized from the presidential suite at walter National Military Medical Center, Mr. Trump shared an idea he was considering. When he left the hospital, he wanted to appear frail at first when people saw him, according to people with knowledge of the conversations. But underneath his button-down dress shirt, he would wear a Superman t-shirt, which he would reveal as a symbol of strength when he ripped open the top layer. He ultimately did not go ahead with the stunt.

Let's just end the show right now. I can't like for good. Like that's, we can't do this. It's wild because we kept going from the phase where like, we know this man is not well, we know his ideas are, he's sick.

Like it's sickening. Like the kinds of ideas this person has to things you're like i'm not sure now we have to get talk about senility and now we're fully in that phase like if this was an old elderly person who you actually knew in your personal life and gave a fuck about you would be worried as shit because you'd be like this is this we're like i remember my aunt she a little she, she a little goofy. But now she's, now she's swiping at monsters in the night and talking about doing Superman bits and shit like this. It's a, it's a whole other stage.

And yeah, this is, I don't, I don't mind this that much. All right. I love this. I love this take. I just like, is i like that i like hearing that they know when to edit you know like a lot this isn't something he did this is something that happened in a brainstorming meeting you know right after someone was like all right bad ideas just give me bad ideas me me me yeah you okay so i so I'm going to walk up real slow like I'm sick,

and then I'm going to rip my shirt off, and I'm going to be Superman, and I'm going to fly away, and then I'm going to cook CNN with my laser eyes. Okay, now that's actually your best idea all week. All right, who else? Someone else go. I'll listen, I'll listen, but right now I'm going to say Superman, laser eyes, CNN, top idea. I'll listen. I'll listen. But right now I'm going to say Superman laser eyes, CNN top idea.

I wonder, did those guys, his secret service have to quarantine after that car ride? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Did they see you in a car? Yeah, you got to. They had to. That's that's not a no indication that they actually did. But they the medical. I would love to know what happened with those guys i want to see a documentary but what happened with those guys right after they got out of the car just tight on their faces as they're all driving being like well they're driving because they're holding their breath like yeah one of the best things i got an idea for trump to leave the hospital can he uh

drive himself yeah or how about this he stays in that in the beast suv and we'll just tow that motherfucker and he can stay in there right yeah that's the difference i'll walk on the outside i'm just not gonna be in the fucking car with him get him a little golf cart he knows how to drive that popemobile that would that's another probably like mobile would actually make more sense yeah he would love that because now he's on par with the Pope. You know, we need a DC. Fuck these bike lanes. We need golf cart lanes for the real people out here like me.

Oh, man. Yeah, I feel like, I don't know. I feel like we're in a lull right now. People on Twitter who are critical of the president were you know energized by the poetry of his covid diagnosis and now that he the all evidence that he is allowing to escape uh says he's recovered people are like well what do we do with that energy um i i feel like i i just don't want people to let it take the take us off the scent that you know he when we were heading into the debate the whole thing was he's willing to cheat he's willing to like use the military if they'll listen to him uh to try and

you know rat fuck this election like that needs to be front and center in people's minds like just non-stop yeah i'm worried about the media because like they're they're starting to get real spiky with the football yeah i mean like i mean the way biden is widening these poll numbers it's just it's really something to look at and it does make sense like when i feel like just stop talking about that shit and everything should be about fake uh ballot boxes that are popping up in california or these other just every other manner of voter suppression that voter suppression that's occurring rather than getting like oh good, good, he's sick, and he's like, oh, he's fucking it up now,

is not really, I feel like, the feeling I want to carry. I don't know. I guess part of me is like, we've got to fucking do this shit. Are the fake ballot boxes real? Like, have people, has that been reported? That's a tough question to ask. Are the fake boxes real? Is that a thing that is actually occurring? a tough question to ask are the fake boxes real is that a thing that is actually occurring that yeah it was happening in fresno yeah and then the uh the

california gop was even like well it's not like we're not trying to say that it's official it's it's well it's now to the point where the secretary of state has been like this is illegal um oh that's an art project yeah right uh so it's it's but again this is how they've been just another example of what they're willing to do just out in the open which is you know possibly just like we're just gonna ballot harvest and we'll see what the fuck happens the one thing that's making me feel good is all the reporting that like the atlanta journal constitution tweeted uh we're seeing heavy turnout in early voting in georgia which i don't know why such menstrual description of that but uh that's good uh early voting numbers uh that fox news is reporting suggests that uh we're 10 times higher on early voting than we were at this point in 2016

that's the only thing that makes me feel any uh hint yeah it would be spooky if you went in here and there weren't like you know turnout indicators that made it seem like no we're looking at something akin to a 2012 right yeah i don't know we'll see here it needs to be off the i've never felt comfortable um doing anything other than voting on election day even like with a mail-in ballot i would just bring it down to the voting place and and hand it in because i'm not losing it and so now like for the first time i voted a month early and it's an official ballot box i checked it was not an art project um it wasn't a rubbermaid container with i can't tell you how incredible it feels to have already done it and to know i'm being counted and to know i'm

not part of the mess in the mail i'm not part of the mess like voting i'm not in a line making someone else you know not be able to vote that day um god i feel like fucking superman and i just rip oh i wish you did this guy never misses with the bits uh yeah it does i'm probably gonna vote probably next this coming weekend uh just because i i want to get it done you mean like go to a polling place and like pull the lever do the early vote do an early vote in person i've actually never pulled a lever i don't think because do you guys pull oh my god have you voted i pulled a lever wow i think they had like some old school i remember pulling a lever for obama mine's always like fill in a little dot in uh yeah you just do a little the janky little ink pen

through the plastic like play school voting set kit, it feels like. Yeah, yeah. They should just give you a lever to pull. Yeah, like at the casino. Yeah, and it rolls like a slot machine. Oh, you voted for Trump and Kanye. Uh-oh, yeah, presidential. like a slot machine you voted for and it comes up you voted oh yeah presidential

can we did you make it dumb for us you'd notice that kanye was on the ballot but as a vice president yeah that's the only thing they could get him on there for it's it's all weird as a vice president who's the president i forget like that's the thing they just wanted his name on the libertarian yeah it was just some they just got him it's not libertarian that's that's too legit no they're too legit to quit libertarian does in a in a recent poll seem to be pulling some uh pretty significant numbers like two percent uh which no it isn't that's that's what I can't be right I What's the phone number of the person who wrote that? It is one of the only polls that gave Trump a chance in 2016. Oh, so they're the only right ones.

Yeah. I mean, Biden 51.9, Trump 43.4, Jorgensen 2.4, and Hawkins 0.4 jorgensen jorgensen 2.4 and hawkins 0.8 whenever people on social media are like you know fuck anyone who's voting third party i just like who is third party like there's no it's for the first time in a very long time there is not a famous third party person there's not someone that the media is talking about uh kanye west right well he's not a legitimate contender he's not on the ballot but i have it enough of a following where they're like yeah this is our year to fuck it up yeah it's but i mean there always be i think that's the problem though is because our two-party systems are so fucking gridlocked like i understand the

appeal of third parties if you actually have a real principled idea based on whatever your beliefs are. But I mean, eventually, you'd hope we would fracture off into more than just Democrats and Republicans because, honestly, it's proving to be the literal death of us. One thing I wanted to read real quick just that I happened to see was the New Yorkork times bestseller list of non-fiction books and it's literally like a 50 50 split of like books that like liberals would read and that would infuriate people who watch fox news and then books that fox news would read that would like give me an aneurysm if I tried to read it.

It's like Rage by Bob Woodward, Killing Crazy Horse by Bill O'Reilly. I'd love to hear what Bill O'Reilly has to say about indigenous people. Wow. Blackout by Candace Owens, Cast by Isabel Wilkerson, which is the book by the author author of the warmth of other sons uh that talk compares race to a caste system uh disloyal by michael cohen live free or die by sean hannity i didn't know about this one the fox news host offers his assessment on what is at stake in the 2020 election don't lie to me and stop trying to steal our freedom by janine piero

is the title it's the title of a book uh notorious rbg untamed uh which is that's the only one that doesn't really fit into there and then sarah huckabee sanders's uh book so it's just it's just i don't know i that that's just a good reminder that we're not going to stop living in two completely separate realities after this election, no matter what happens. Like people are just completely divided. I was really thinking, hoping that there was some non-political books in there. Yeah. It's just like, uh, the liberals get pissed off about four-hour work week.

Yeah, exactly. It's all that. And I mean, I don't think that's normal, that there's not a single book that is not that. Was God Level Knowledge Darts by Adesas and Merrill on there? It's like number 19, I have you read it i just found out about that i'm pretty psyched i i'm i'm gonna read it when i'm able to i have some time to sit right after the election right you ever write a political at that point you ever write a political

tweet that gets too much engagement and you're like this does not deserve it you know it's just because you mentioned politics or you said him right you know it's like there's an extra 300 likes you're like how does everything you just say politics and you're immediately yeah viral yeah there's like a whole like probably percentage of twitter that is just blandly political takes that are tweeted and retweeted. And they're crushing on those impressions. Crushing. Like, y'all, these aren't, like, these are, it's funny because a lot of those tweets are the kinds that help people who are so frightened of the Trump administration feel like they're went like like like uh democrats are winning like it's always like the ones that it's like uh-oh trump scaredy pants and not going

to go to a doctor today and they're like oh fuck yeah i love it i love it yeah talk about how he sucks we love that or whatever it's like after game five you you're like, sorry, Lakers. Right. Not your year. Boo. Yeah, ultimately. Oh, man. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about how millennials are letting us all down. 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.

love we love them we miss them i love hanging out in a coffee shop yeah yeah writing my screenplay and drinking my coffee with both hands wrapped around the cup like uh it's a just with a giant chunky sweater yeah yes exactly just blowing on my favorite thing to do in a coffee shop i bring my laptop in i put it down i order a coffee i get a water i sit down i've set everything up and then i ask them what the wi-fi is and they say we don't have wi-fi like it's normal to not have wi-fi right yeah the well i mean this whole thing with coffee shops, right? I sort of wanted to talk about this because the long and short of it is that coffee shops are in decline. Okay.

They said by this is a company that sort of monitors like coffee shop openings, closings, and just sort of niche businesses like this. And they say by the end of 2020, there will only be 25,307 coffee shops in the US making up for $24.7 billion worth of business. And they say like, but that's actually set like a dip of almost 8% and 12% less revenue than in 2019. I mean, I think that all makes sense given COVID. But a lot of people are like, I don't know what's going on as if the times we're in right now might be a huge contributing factor to people who have

businesses i don't know what's going on yeah that's shockingly little that's a shockingly small dent for me well the reason this is apparently big news is because this is the first time there's been a decline in coffee shop growth since like 2011 oh so it's just been like straight uphill yeah and now because this is like down a little bit yeah they're like oh but i think what's so interesting to me is like i've i forgot actually you know we were just joking about like how like much the coffee shop took up our consciousness in the 90s you know as it being a thing like when you think about like i just according to an analysis of

films i'm just making up right now coffee shops are where 70 of 90s rom-com scenes occur so i'm just saying and also like it was like one of those things like in 93 that like someone would live in like essex junction vermont they're like yo we got a coffee shop and like what okay let's get to it i'll meet you i gotta i've got practice over Let's get to it. I'll meet you. I got practice over at St. Michael's, but I'll meet you over there in a second. But the coffee shop was a marker. I wonder how many sitcoms would have taken place

in a coffee shop if Friends hadn't existed. Right. They weren't allowed to. I feel like every character, though, had a job at a coffee shop. You know what I mean? It was the easiest thing in your first draft of a script like and like their job at coffee shop with people who are annoying or you know there's so much out of it it's pretty easy to like fake a coffee shop

right you can just like put it right in a like that's why i i watched way too many like bad comedy videos when i was running cracked like submissions where it's like yeah we're at a coffee shop but it's definitely just somebody's floor level apartment yeah you just put a jar of biscotti right and like a couple loose coffee bags behind you and you it's a coffee shop that's shop alert this week in Hubie Halloween. Uh-oh. Hubie. Yeah, one of the girls worked at a coffee shop.

Oh, really? And then the bullies come in and throw the kid in front of the girl. That's right. Dude, Hubie is fucking touching all parts of our consciousness. Yeah. That movie is going to end up being one of the most important movies of our life. Probably. I mean, Anna is getting it tatted. She said her whole personality is now Hubie-based. She said, call me Hubie Day.

Since yesterday's recording where Miles reviewed Hubie Halloween, said it was a great return to form for the Adam Sandler universe. Nick has started a cult around Hubie Halloween. Super producer so producer anna hosnier has

gotten it tatted and is uh announcing that uh she she will be going as hubie for halloween for her halloween costume i hope she rethinks the tattoo and uh and gets a brand instead yeah yeah yeah that's true old hubie a lot of devotees i'm gonna have to watch it where my hue bites at you know holler at me one time the but this other study was saying that the companies though that are obviously withstanding all this are the ones you'd expect which is like the starbucks and duncans of the world they're fine and we knew that because you know we know eventually those will be the only places to legally buy coffee in the Trump Incorporated Confederation of Consumer Territories. Well, also, they've like they've closed stores that don't have drive throughs and then open stores with drive throughs and that focus that more in that business.

then open stores with drive-thrus and then focus that more on that business they've been able to like kind of transition yeah better than you know just your random neighborhood store that can't add a drive-thru right so after all this is over like what because there is something like there is a reason that we work existed right and there's a reason that people used to go to coffee shops to do work instead of working out of their homes like there's an energy or like something that people get from being around other people that like this probably isn't gonna like totally kill off like just because we've had a pandemic like people will go back to wanting to be around other people do you like do you think this is a permanent thing or do you think well do you think this will i don't know i think we've built we've got way too much momentum as a species of being around each other for a year of fucking hell to like completely rewire

our needs as like animals because i i know i i fucking fantasize i saw a video of it was just like a random clip of like some rave that had like it was said like the most lasers at a concert ever and it started off minimal but when that shit went off and you saw like 40 000 people just screaming i was like i miss that shit so much oh yeah i just need that and there's no amount of like no matter obviously we all have different existential fears around this year and the election and whatever but deep down i think we all we were seeing it that's why people keep fucking not living by the rules because deep down we just need that shit and some people i think are able to like calculate what the risks involved are and like what the knock-on effects could be for someone other than themselves but

yeah i think we're we'll be plus us liberals than themselves. But yeah, I think we'll be all right. Plus, us liberals are all going to cuddle parties where we all just sit around and cry about our dads. But I mean, that is a real thing. Cuddle parties are a real thing that existed before the pandemic. Not a lot of articles

feel like the millennials have killed the cuddle party. That's right. Because we invented that shit. There's a reason NBA players touch each other before and after every free throw. The touch, the human touch, being around other people, it's important. And I think this is the reason that sports viewing is so far down, like almost shockingly. So after like, you know,

we had these viewing events where like tiger King or the last dance happened and literally like the whole world just like stopped to watch those documentaries. And then like when real sports actually come back not that many people watch it i i feel like there's got to be something about just missing the the presence of other people or the the presence of that many people in one space is like a larger part of the sports viewing experience than we were giving it credit for yeah i think maybe it depends on like how you're used to watching a sport, you know,

because like the NBA was easy for me to watch because from when you're younger, you used your, you're used to watching that quiet basketball games where there's maybe 30 people in the gym and it's just like intense, but you're like, yeah, we're at,

we're watching a basketball game. But I feel like when certain things like the nfl i feel like my friends who watch the nfl that's the one thing i've heard them complain about the most like it's just so weird it's like a fucking scrimmage yeah there's no crowd and like they the feeling around it was different than like you know watching soccer in europe there were no crowds there they pumped in fake noise but i actually found myself switching to the audio track that kept it silent because i i kind of was cool to hear them talk on the field a little bit with more detail but i think it maybe it all depends on how you're used to watching it or it's that feeling where

you're like it ain't right it's not how it's supposed to be like i should be there with my boys and this is bullshit this is not the nfl this is some fucking plandemic shit have you watched any college football? Nah. College football feels weird. College football has the most people. They'll have half full stadiums. And on TV, especially because we've been watching sports one way for three months, it feels like there's no empty seats in the thing.

Right, right. It just looks like I have to keep checking college football. It's like, am I watching a rerun? Right, right. They have been airing reruns. There was a Texas Tech game over the weekend that made me think Texas had cured COVID, maybe, because it was just completely full.

It looked like a sellout. Yeah. And I don't know, sports are like, I really experienced this even with the the nba finals like being being a angeleno like all like we would gather around the lakers or the dodgers or things like this and it was the first time because obviously we have one in 10 years that like i was not able to get with like my family and friends and always do the thing we do which is like watch postseason lakers basketball together like that that was like a thing we'd always do from april going into the beginnings of summer and to not have that definitely and i found

myself like scrambling being like yo y'all want to watch on zoom we could watch game five on zoom but everyone's like feed is delayed and like people like ruining it for each other and i was like right does it fucking work the same uh so i know like there is the there's like these deeper things tied to sports too that i feel like my people might not be able to like quite articulate and that's the reason why it's just not worth watching some people still are congregating around dodger stadium though in the way they always have. Just now, it's because that's where all the COVID tests are. Right, right. Go with your friends. Join together.

Get some nachos. Hop in the car. Yeah. The celebration out in front of the Staples Center where everybody was chanting Kobe was pretty dope. I especially appreciated the guy who showed up in a human hamster ball for the celebration did you see that dude no i didn't watch any of the celebrations he's in the bubble yeah he's like

literally in the bubble uh anyways um that uh that actually uh caused my weed delivery last night to be delayed everything was delayed last i got a text and they were like, you know, because of the they said it was because of the protests. And I was like, what protests are happening? Well, from Clipper fans? The team is trash? Yeah. Yeah. Clipper fans were that rivalry.

That rivalry. Some rivalries make both sides better. That rivalry makes nobody better. I wonder what was harder to watch, Dak for Cowboys fans or that series for Clippers fans. Yeah, I feel for him. I mean, you know. I do too.

Hey, head up, head up Clippers fans. You'll get one. The other story I just want to talk about real quick and the other thing that's making me feel okay about the upcoming election is just the repeated incompetence of like every right-wing concerted effort to like try and flip the narrative and shift reality on us yeah so there's this thing called the great barrington declaration that is is an idea if properly executed that i feel like could actually you some damage. But basically, the idea is they

put together a panel of experts, in quotes, to argue that the democratic form of shutdowns and social distancing was a plot by Joe Biden and the Democrats and like Trump's skepticism around those scientific points of view were correct and like worth paying more attention to. And it was all just this whole COVID-19 thing was a was a figment of the liberal media's imagination. And it like if they could have gotten some momentum behind this i could have seen it like i don't know being one lifeline to like a concerted worldview that a lot of people on the right would have liked to believe in but um so they released this thing they called it uh the great barrington declaration, which is impressive sounding.

It does. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, they did a good job with the title. I would be like, yo, what was that? Like if someone, if like a maskless Karen came into like my business and was like, I'm sorry, but according to the Great Barrington Declaration, I will not be wearing a mask.

And I'm like, oh, fuck. Okay, facts. All right. I'm not going to argue with that. And the Wall Street Journal headline, the Wall Street Journal op-ed page, which is a right-wing shill, they had a headline,

Why Won't the Media Listen to These Scientists? Fox News claimed the declaration obviously casts severe doubt on the heavy-handed lockdown approach Joe Biden and the Democrats have been advocating. So that is like an excellent, straightforward use of this story on the heavy-handed lockdown approach, Joe Biden and the Democrats have been advocating. So that is like an excellent, straightforward use of this story to sow doubt.

However, some of the medical experts that they chose weren't epidemiologists, but actually homeopaths, like massage therapists, hypnotherapists, experts in Mongolian Komi singing oh some of them seem to be fake names one of them literally signed the name dr person fake name no wait really that's a signee is dr person fake name yeah there's also dr johnny bananas dr very dodgy doctor professor no that actually was him yeah yeah professor no taff fucking clue uh and last but not least dr johnny fart pants uh so they just they just opened this up to anybody who wanted to sign up this is how people just trolled it they're not listening to dr farty pants right yeah why won't

the media listen to professor not a fucking clue he said it was not a fucking clue no i mean no taff or king clue see this is this is xenophobic right uh there's a uh one of the listed experts was a resident of the university of your mom um so this so obviously that doesn't sound american yeah no it's i think this was all like a british thing okay because yeah to to dr very dodgy doctor dodgy is such a in english term but i i like it i mean it's an international effort i like and as fox news and the right knows americans are suckers for british accent we'll just right grant them any amount of uh even if it's dr miss doctor very dodgy doctor yes oh wow well in that case but this was always like the three authors launched the declaration at an event

hosted by a libertarian think tank and immediately followed by a trip to the white house they have throughout the pandemic been repeatedly downplaying the deadliness of the virus and people are basically saying what they're calling for is impossible without an effective and wide widely used vaccine it would let the virus run rampant and kill millions. And the entire premise of the declaration offers no information on who they consider vulnerable and how they would actually be protected, which the idea is like, we just protect the vulnerable.

Okay, just like that? Yep, just like that. Just let the virus rip. And, you know, well, what can it it do what's the worst it can do our president's wearing a superman outfit under his shirt so oh my god you know he's wearing this shirt right now he's like here's the thing dr dr conley i'm gonna tell you something but i need he's like reaching for his top button and his and ivanka's off to the side being like, just agree with him. Don't do it, Dan. I'm going to show you, Dr. Connolly,

and this may be jarring to you, but my powers are enhanced by Earth's yellow sun. I do come from Krypton. I do like to think that he already had it. He already had the outfit when he suggested it. He had it in his hands and he's like,

I don't know. I'm just thinking of this now. Oh no, it's dumb. Yeah, it was dumb. I wouldn't buy it. Wait, Mr. President, what are you holding there? What's in that zip lock bag? It's just a New York Times. Sorry. Oh no. Your cape is still on, Mr. President.

Professor who like... It's the equivalent of that producer who kept pitching the mechanical spider in different movies until he came out in Wild Wild West.

yeah um so yeah there's this uh how it started how it's going yeah yeah um yeah so i i i saw my favorite one and how it started started, this is Scott Rogowski, the former Quizmaster emeritus from HQ. He tweeted how it started. And it's a clip from the Marx Brothers. I don't know. One of their, I don't even know. Animal Crackers, let's just, let's say.

How it started. Anyway, it's this great scene. Really funny. That's okay. And then the second let's say how it started. Anyway, it's this great scene. Really funny. That's okay. And then this can tweet how it's going. And he posted one of these videos where a guy asked a girl out and she says, no. And then he gets in his fancy car and she's like,

Oh wait, I will go out with you. Wait, come back. I didn't realize you had a big car. Have you not seen these? This is a whole type of comedy. Oh, my God.

Where it's like these gold digger, like exposing gold diggers. It's the most trash prank style thing. But yeah. Yeah. So this guy, he goes up to the girl in this video. He goes into the girl and he's like, oh, hey, I'm going to a party. Do you want to come with me? She's like, what?

She just walks up to her at a gas station. Right. She's not in a car. He's not in a party. Do you want to come with me? She's like, what? He just walks up to her at a gas station. She's not in a car. He's not in a car. You're a creep off the street. He's standing. It's like the worst setup. He's like, you want to go to a party with me? She's like, no. He's like, oh, okay. Then he pulls out his

phone. He's like, yo, Drake, I'm heading to your spot right now. We're going to rip it up tonight. She's like, oh, wait. Actually, I do want to go to a party. She's like yo drake i'm heading to your spot right now we're gonna rip it up tonight and she's like oh wait dred oh actually i do want to go to a party how do you know he was talking about that drake you just had some weirdo named drake's house uh anyway i just like that that's where comedy is man it's just fucking it's a different world Miles, where can people find you and what's a tweet you've been enjoying? Follow me on Instagram and Twitter at miles of gray, where I will occasionally appear in a tweet that I like, you know,

it's just, it's a blending of everything I like. So our boy dog face for 20 is at it. And you know what? He knows what time it is. He's down with the Lake Show. He knows it's 1-7. He knows it's the 17th championship. He's got a new video, Long Borden in his Laker jersey,

sipping a bottle of champagne to We Are the Champions, and I'm sorry to Clippers fans, but what a combination of vibrations. So I'm loving this clip. Is that a deep fake, or is that a real video? I think that might be a deep fake. It's a deep fake? Why is someone spending time? Doesn't it sound like something he would do?

I don't know. I watched it. It seemed real to me. It looks real. Why you got to throw water on that? Even if it's a deep fake, I like it visually. I don't understand why anyone would make a deep fake of that. But it's from at follow through LA that has that one.

So, you know what? Shout out to them. Which I think is CJ. Toledano. Yeah. Is that his account? Yeah. That's his new account.

Well, then there it goes. And if he's lying to me, then shame on him. Yeah. And it's a good deep fake. It's one of the better deep fakes if it is a deep fake. Otherwise, it's not. There's an LA Times article about it saying it's. Yeah, it's real. It's real of the better deep fakes if it is a deep fake. Otherwise, it's not. There's an L.A. Times article about it saying it's. Yeah, it's real.

It's real. OK, shout out to you. Why are you trying to do that, man? Like, come on, bro. Just let me have that. All right. My bad. I still don't believe in it, though.

Oh, my God. This is like our new. I'm a truther. Yeah, you're a fucking dog face truther. He's a Sixers fan. I think he would not be into the Lakers, to be honest. I think he's more into the Clippers. For him to be that wholesome and not a shitty person, there's no way he's a Laker fan.

I think maybe Clipper Twitter got to me. They're like, this is a deep fake. And I believed it or something. I don't know where that came from, but I was just like,'re like this is a deep fake and i believed it or something i don't know where that came from but i was just like okay so dumb uh all right uh tweet i've been enjoying uh ms grace colin schmidt tweeted uh took an edible tonight and thought of a tv show idea and it's just a screencap from her notes app and it just says emily in paris um so dumb uh and uh andrea moore tweeted lapd's tear gas is purple and gold tonight uh with hard eyes emojis uh you can find me on twitter at jack underscore o'brien you can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien.
