Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? It's right here in black and white in print. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast.

As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 37, episode 3 of The Daily Zeitgeist.

For June 26, 2018, my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Paxil Rose. Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green. I've got anxiety. Okay. And I am thrilled to be joined by today's co-host, one of the funniest stand-ups, and just a Hall of Fame podcast guest, the all-time leader in guesting on The Daily Zeitgeist. Please welcome Jamie Loftus! A.K.A. Yammy Lofty, a.k.a. Lil' Zam. Lil' Zam.

Lil' Zam. Lil' Zam. How's it going, Lil' Zam? I'm good. I'm here. I got my Lil' Zam. It's good. Whenever my Lil' Zam is burning, it means it's time to be a guest on a podcast. Lil' Zam refers to the small Zamboni tattoo that you got on your back. Yep. It could be smaller, is my critique of the

Lil' Zam. It could definitely be smaller. A little bit big. You're going to want to get that a little bigger. That's what the tattoo guys said to you, right? You're going to want to go a little bigger with that. And a full back piece. May I recommend flames and an Eagle driving. It does have flames.

I know it looks awesome. Actually. Uh, it is beautiful Zamboni. We are thrilled to have in our third seat today. One of the funniest human beings I've ever known, a hilarious writer and performer. Uh,

one of my favorite script writers from my time at Cracked, and he currently writes for American Dad. He is Mr. Soren Bowie! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, man. Hey, how's it going? That was really nice. Usually you throw me under the bus with your introductions.

I'm surprised you didn't. That's true. I totally forgot to do that. And in our third seat, we have some guy named Soren. And then I stand up and I wave to the audience over here. I take my time crossing the stage. I wave to the audience over here. I bow once more graciously and then return to my seat.

The boys truly are back in town. Am I right? All right, Soren, we're going to get to know you a little bit better. But first, we'd like to tell our listeners what they're in store for today. We're going to talk a little bit about the most lit Twitter mural ever. We're going to talk about the continuing civil war or lack of civility debate between the left and the right that's going down on these streets. We're going to talk about the travel ban being upheld by the Supreme Court. We're going to

talk about where these immigrants are coming from who are crossing the Mexican border and why and what happens when they get deported. We're going to talk about David Lynch saying that Donald Trump might be the best president ever. And then we're just going to do a bunch of fun stories with co-host Jamie Loftus towards the end. We're going to talk birthday watch. We're going to talk love watch. We're going to talk World Cup date. We're going to talk face watch. That one's with super producer Anna Hosniak. But first, we like to get to know our guest a little bit better. Soren, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are as a human being? Just yesterday, I searched toddler Chicago fire. Oh, no.

I don't like where this is going. No, it's better than that. It's much more like her than that. It was Toddlers Like Chicago Fire, question mark, is what it was. Toddlers Like Chicago Fire. I was really, yeah. So most of my searches are about my son because I'm worried about things constantly and concerned with everything that he does. What does your son have to do with Chicago Fire? Well, good question. His favorite shows are Curious George and another one called PJ Maxx and then Chicago Fire.

And he's two. Oh, the TV show. The TV show Chicago Fire. Not the great Chicago Fire of 1904. Not the cow one. Not that. Okay. That's so strange.

It's very strange. And I didn't know if it was a weird – I'm always concerned that it's very strange and i didn't i didn't know if it was a weird i'm always concerned that it's something and so i want to check in with the internet and make sure that it's not which is probably the worst place you should go for that kind of thing but um i i was just checking to see if there are other kids who are like other parents would be like oh yeah my kid loves chicago pd all the chicago shows chicago med is really where my kid's at. Right. But yeah, Chicago Fire. I think it's just because there's firemen in it.

Right. But it's, I mean, firemen make up, the actual firefighting in that show makes up about 13% of that show. But he's just riveted by the dialogue and everything. Really? It's so weird. He won't watch any other live action television, but Chicago Fire, he's on.

Did you ever have to get through the Terrific Trucks period? Have you ever watched Terrific Trucks? I have, yeah. That show is terrible. That is my son's favorite thing right now. There are some really, really bad ones. There's one called NutriVentures that's maybe the worst animation I've ever seen.

And I still don't understand the plot of it. I've seen maybe 40 episodes of it. And it's some kids who are into nutrition nutrition but they go through a bunch of different realms of reality to solve crimes that have nothing to do with nutrition. Really? Child nutritionist. It might be a Canadian show. It's on Ion Television.

I did find out that Terrific Trucks is in fact a Canadian television. I miss when there was just weird perverted adults that were talking to children directly on television all day like Pappyland style did you guys watch Pappyland?

I know what Pappyland is we had a cartoon called, maybe it was just in Denver called Blinky you should look at the face of Blinky he was a clown and he looked kind of like a hobo clown but it was just that it was just him talking directly to you. Yeah.

I just want a perverted adult to talk to me about sharing for 20 minutes every day. Pappy drew it. I had nightmares about Pappy drew it for a long time. Really? He was an old man in a cowboy suit who hung out with a bunch of animatronic bears. And then he'd be like, make sure to brush your teeth. It was so scary. Yeah, brush them.

Get in there. I bet he's dead. Anyways. It's always fun to think about. Yeah, I wonder how, like I was watching old Sesame Street yesterday and wondering what happened to the old-timey actors who were in that in the 70s.

A lot of them are still on it, aren't they? Oh, from the 70s. I don't know. From my childhood, a lot of them are still there. Really? Yeah. Gordon is still on it and Bob is still on it. Gordon's like the OG too, right? He's been on for like 40 years or something. There's one, I remember

when I was little, one of the old time cast members died and then they had to talk about death on screen. Oh, Blinky. Blinky's terrified. Did you guys, everybody had Bozo the Clown, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That show sucked.

That was really a bad show. Sorry, Jamie, I interrupted. Blinky. I just, my memory is wiped by Blinky. I have seven days to live. Fortunately, I just had Picture Pages, which was Bill Cosby, who, as we know, was not a pervert. Oh, very cool guy. Yeah, very chill guy.

Very good with kids. Yes. Pappy Druitt is regretfully still alive. Aw. Is he like one of those old people who was actually not as old as they played? Like the elder, like what's her name on Golden Girls? Yeah, I would have guessed he was a million when I was five and watching him, but turns out he was more like 50.

Yeah. So he's still alive. Right, right. Turns out I don't know how to spell Papi Druitt because I just tried to look it up and it's still got papaya fruit. It's Papi Druitt of Papi Land. That's a disgusting name for a children's show. That sounds like a crime.

Sorin, what is something you think is overrated? I think breakfast is overrated. Oh, wow. Cosign. People talk about breakfast being the most important meal of the day, and I think that's bullshit. Yeah. Yeah, because first of all, what people eat for breakfast is like it's basically just a big pancreatic shock. It's like it's sugar heavy.

Most breakfast foods are heavy, heavy sugar, including cereals. Like even the cereals that are supposedly really good for you are still really sugar heavy. And that's the last thing you should eat when you haven't eaten in like seven or eight hours. What you're going to want to do is you're going to want to get like a lot of sugar and dairy. Just load your insides up with dairy and sugar. People are like, this is the way to start your day. Jumpstart your day. These are the worst things for you.

Just get real hyper for like 25 minutes and then crash right when you get to school. Yeah, I agree that breakfast is overrated. For narcs, losers, and dweebs, unfortunately. Totally. It's also just crazy that we have a dessert meal. Anything goes with breakfast, except things that are actually pretty good for you. You can't have chicken for breakfast. That's fucking crazy.

You can't have chicken and waffles. Or chicken and sausage. But a roast chicken, no, you can't do that. There's too many rules with breakfast. You can have all the food groups, but it's only very specific. You can only have like sausage. They're like sausage is okay breakfast meat,

but if you have chicken, you may as well walk into traffic like this. Don't regulate. But you can have their embryos, right? You can have their unfertilized. That's probably the healthiest thing that we have for breakfast. But everything else, pancakes, that's such a cheat.

I ate pancakes this morning. Waffles. I ate pancakes this morning. Waffles. And I am high right now. Yeah, no, I agree. It's still, I still enjoy it. I still partake. It's a fun thing to do with your kid in the morning. I like breakfast content better than I like breakfast itself.

Yeah. Yeah. I like people talking about their breakfast. I like hearing people enjoying their breakfast. I'm not going to participate. You enjoy hearing that crunch of cereal over a newspaper? Yeah. I appreciate that other people are starting their day.

I would prefer my day to never start. Cereal is a thing that if I have a problem food, it is definitely cereal. I can't stop a bowl of cereal like i will i'll pour it in and then like i'll finish the cereal and there will be milk left so then i'll pour more cereal in and then eat it until there's no more milk left and pour more milk in and it just never stops for me i will eat a whole box of cereal it's like what they actually planned with hot dogs when they sold the wrong amount of buns for the winners, but they're like, now you gotta eat more.

Now you have to eat all the hot dogs. What is something you think is underrated? I think Arby's is completely underrated. Oh, goddammit. Here we go. Wait, is this a stance you've taken? Soren's gonna try and hijack this show and make it all about Arby's.

Soren's whole life is sponsored by Arby's. Jack, I'm hooking you up. This is gonna be a great sponsorship for this show. Okay. All right, tell us about Arby's. Soren's whole life is sponsored by Arby's. Jack, I'm hooking you up. This is going to be a great sponsorship for this show. Okay. All right. Tell us about Arby's. Arby's is the punchline of jokes. Yeah. Arby's, people think of it as like the shittiest of the fast foods. Yeah. You guys got the meats. We get it. All right. I think I called one of the tops. Well, I will qualify this by saying that I don't eat red meat. Great. What? So you don't eat the RB of RBs? I don't eat the roast beef. Okay.

I have no idea if that's good or not. What a clever name for a restaurant. I just realized that, too. I didn't know it either. Oh, is that true? I don't know. It must be, right? No, I'm just saying, is that true? You guys are that dumb that you didn't realize it.

Oh, okay. We're just getting roasted. We're just getting roasted. You're just getting roasted. Sick burn. Like beef. They have things called market fresh sandwiches. Right. Like turkey carver type things.

It's amazing. Yeah. So there are a lot of different fast food restaurants. And I know because I keep track when they try and branch out into sandwiches. And it always sucks. Like they try and do a turkey sandwich, and the meat's just not good because they have to use such large quantities

of processed meat to get it cheap enough. But for some reason, Arby's nailed it. Arby's has delicious turkey there, and they've got a turkey Swiss on a whole wheat honey bread. It'll blow your mind. It's so good, and it's probably the best thing for you

at a fast food restaurant. Also, their curly fries are better than any other curly fries. And also really good for you. It's so good, and it's probably the best thing for you at a fast food restaurant. Also, their curly fries are better than any other curly fries. And also really good for you. That's not true. Do you know that Arby's owns Buffalo Wild Wings? No. They've got spending money.

Wow. They just bought B-dub-dub. Wait, they didn't start it. They just bought it. No, they were just feeling spendy one day, and they bought Buffalo Wild Wings. They're like, this restaurant's a little too popular.

We should take it over and RBI's it. I had no idea. Oh, what's the one? Well, Wing Street. That's part of Pizza Hut. Yes. I love restaurant combo places. It's so nice.

The Taco Bell KFCs. It's like, wow, I really can't have everything I want to kill me. At one time. They started getting rid of a lot of them. For a long time there were those Pizza Hut Taco Bells and I love going and getting some breadsticks and a Mexican pizza. I wasn't much for the Bell Hut, but I did like, I love the KF Bell. The KFC Taco Bell is just perfect.

What was your combo there? What did you like to combine oh i would get a beefy five-layer burrito and mashed potatoes really good really good but see taco bell has been incorporating the potato into their menu i feel like they realized well they started reading my letters fools uh sorum what is a myth finally what is something people think is true uh that I'm writing my letters. Fools! Sorin, what is a myth, finally? What is something people think is true that you know to be false? Chris Hardwick did all that stuff, people. I'm just kidding. Oh, no.

Oh, God. Bam, bam, bam. Oh, boy. I would say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Of other things, let's see. That whole myth that daddy long legs are poisonous. That daddy long legs are even spiders. Wait, they're not spiders?

What? No. They're just those big mosquito things that have had their wings pulled off? The tradition, like what you think of as a daddy long leg, it only has one body segment. All spiders have two body segments. So it is in the arachnid family in the same way that scorpions are, but it's not a spider.

Wow. It doesn't produce silk or anything like that. It's just a silly little bug. That's the first myth busted I learned from. And all the other ones, you're just like, yeah, no shit, idiot. Well, I guess usually I'm just like,

I hate my dad. People think my dad is a good dad. It's likable, but he can't even keep track of his own damn teeth. Prosthetic leg is always all over the house. My brother has started texting me pictures of where my dad leaves his teeth. I saw one on Twitter. They're cursed images. Everyone who sees a picture of my dad's

teeth has like minutes to live. It's horrible. So there some people get cellar spiders confused. Do you think of that as a daddy long leg? Yeah. It's like leg segments, right? Yeah, but that's what I think of as a daddy long leg.

Oh, wait. I don't know the difference between the two things you just showed me. That's a spider. I don't think of that as a daddy longlegs. Oh, really? I think of the thing with real wispy legs. Wispy longlegs. This guy right there? Yeah. So that's called Cellar Spider. That is a spider.

So you're back to knowing nothing, Jamie. Okay. Perfect. Well, thanks. Guys, check out pictures of my dad's teeth. I think the takeaway for everyone is check out pictures of Jamie's dad's teeth. All right, guys, let's get into the stories of the day. And there is this Twitter mural in the Los Angeles area that is totally lit. And it makes me ashamed for not being verified.

And it is so cool. It's basically, so there's a tent when you approach it on the street. It's just a tent against a wall. It's on Melrose. With a security guy standing outside of it. And yeah, you basically can't get in to take a selfie in front of the mural unless you have 20,000 followers or are verified. So you guys could go, right?

Yeah, I think we could go. You should go. I mean, definitely. You've got to get a picture in front of this hideous piece of shit mural. I'm just salty. I can't go. Finally, my verification has paid off. Yeah.

See, the thing that people don't understand is that there are wings on it. And if you stand in front of it, it looks like you have wings. You're an angel. You look like a bad tattoo. You're taking part in a bad tattoo. And Los Angeles is known as the city of angels. See, a lot of people don't know that. Hold on.

That's what you don't understand. I will say that my favorite thing in a piece of art is if the art says on it art so that I know for sure what I'm looking at is art. Does it say art? Yeah. I think that the point of art is to exclude as many people as humanly possible. And so it's a beautiful thing. I think it's a great idea. You guys have to get a pick. I've been bugging everyone who's qualified to go and then just bring a little canister of their pee-pee and just spill it. I want someone to spill their pee on the mural. So this is either a Black Mirror episode come to life or, as you suspect, Jamie, it might be a Nathan For You stunt. Is that right?

A lot of people are speculating it's a Nathan For You stunt. stunt what we know for sure at the time of this recording is it's affiliated with a show called like and subscribe uh which is set to debut on july 9th network unclear there's like an instagram account attached to it which is making people think oh it's probably like a shell show shut up set up by nathan fielder or a show like that for free publicity. And I don't know. I mean, I guess that the mural has worked because everyone's talking about it. Very few people are actually participating in it. Like if you look at like tags of influencers

who have actually gone, I think it's kind of like a debasing thing to participate in. Yeah. Unless if you're listening, you want to bring a little jar of your pee-pee and spill it on the mural. So your, you want to bring a little jar of your pee-pee and spill it on the mural.

So your idea now is to spill a little bit of your own pee-pee on the mural. Yes. And you have to call it pee-pee. You cannot call it anything else. When you're being arrested, you have to do this. Yeah. I think people should put a little bit of pee-pee on the art just to mix it up. No, but I mean, people uh upset about it i don't

know i think it's uh an ugly mural and who cares it's a bullshit mural it's so ugly um which is what makes me think even more so that it's like some sort of prank because it's so bad you know who i think is upset about it is losers who don't have 20 000 followers aren't verified, guys. Oh, cool, cool, cool. Someone call the cops. Right. No, so this is obviously weird and disgusting and I will be taking a selfie there later today.

Please. Yeah, we'll see. I think it's important to get in front of it and just justify yourself a little bit wrong on the wings. Right.

So it doesn't quite work. Or do the thing where it looks like the wings are coming out of your fly yeah i'm starting a mural for losers to take a picture right next to the big one it'll just be like a different set of wings right like a slightly worse mural it's completely covered right there's canvas around it yes so i could get naked in there if i wanted to you could you could go wild oh yeah i bet there's like no supervision right? There's canvas around it? Yes. So I could get naked in there if I wanted to? You could. You could go wild. And should. Oh, yeah. I bet there's no supervision, right?

Right. You could take some weird nudes in front of the, listen, I'm just throwing it out there to the verified masses. Right. All right. And we also want to talk about the lack of civility, the uncivility war that's going on between the left and the right right now. So the left has been accosting, you know, the people of power in the Trump administration at restaurants. They've been

making Sarah Sanders get up in the midst of her cheese plate and leave their restaurant. leave their restaurant. So, you know, all out war has been declared. And, you know, there was a protest at Stephen Miller's house yesterday or his apartment outside of his apartment, and they put up wanted posters. And actually, Fox and Friends this morning reported on this. I really like the direction that one of the hosts takes the this segment. This could backfire on Democrats if they keep it up. And it can incite violence eventually. If someone, exactly, if someone approaches your family, you're gonna wanna defend yourself. If they're yelling nasty comments to you about your politics in front of your kids, it's humiliating.

What could they, not she's not saying steven miller's gonna shoot somebody they're going to shoot this the conservatives will kill the people protesting them not the not that like they're i i think they probably had this on the teleprompter as talk about the risk of violence and she was like yeah well i mean we might shoot them because we we're armed very clearly and we're going to murder them. So that's awesome. But this seems to have started the debate, the idea of like people on the left protesting, people on the right accosting people on the left that aren't necessarily people of power. There was a video yesterday where a Mexican gentleman was

doing yard work and a woman walked up to him and just like gave him the finger and he said, why do you hate us and she said because you're mexicans and he said we are honest people right here and she said haha yeah rapists and animals uh and this is on the heels of that one woman calling the police on a 10 year old black girl for selling water on the street because she didn't have a permit to be selling water. I don't know. It's just funny to me that we've started this, quote, like debate around civility, and it's all centers around, you know, how the left is treating, you know,

Stephen Miller in his private life as opposed to, you know, how right-wing people and Trump supporters are treating, you know, normal, not powerful left-wing people. Or not even left-wing people, just people. Like just people being cranky that people are exercising their right to protest. I find it very annoying that people are exercising their rights in my direction. That's actually very unchill and we should have a fascist government. Oh, okay. That's what you're asking.

I just hate the false equivalence of it. I mean, everybody who is complaining about throwing Sarah Sanders out of that restaurant is like, well, my friend has to bake cakes for the gays. Right. You have to serve this guy. You have to serve her. And it's such like, it's so dumb. You can't have somebody who's outside yelling and berating people in the restaurant and then come in and be like, yeah, we're going to serve you.

Right. Right. Yeah. And, I mean, I don't know. She's a pretty awful person. And restaurants are, like, well within their rights to, like, it's just. Yeah, refuse service to an individual person. Yeah.

Someone pointed out, like, it's totally legal if somebody comes into your restaurant and they were like a bully to you in high school. It's totally okay for you to be like, no, fuck you. I don't like you personally and therefore you can't eat at my restaurant. They did not serve her because she was – Right. Because she was – You can't eat at this IHOP. A woman.

Right. They didn't serve her because she was not a nice person. Right. She's a bad person. All right. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours.

EPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.

That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. They're just dreams. And I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in prints. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that.

Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon.

Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite

out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these, we thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.?

I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In a galaxy far, far away. No, babe, that's taken. We're in our own world, remember? Right. In our own world, we're two space cadets.

And don't worry worry we promise to avoid any black holes most of the time and we're back and yeah we were just talking about how mike huckabee was tweeting a picture of ms-13 and tweeted these are Nancy Pelosi's followers. So, you know, chill family. Super chill.

The Huckabees. So guys, big, big news. Trump's travel ban has been upheld in a 5-4 decision. Oh, with that Supreme Court that he stole? Yes. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, this is a 5-4 decision that would have definitely gone the other way with the Obama nominee, with Garland. But instead, we have Gorsuch, and it went the direction of the conservatives. I don't know. This made me think of the fact that Republicans are better at this than progressives are, they're like, I don't

know, they did an unprecedented thing to steal a Supreme Court nominee, but it was, turns out it's legal. And that's where we are. The Republicans know they have to do whatever they're legally permitted to do in order to protect and like advance their ideology. And they're wrong, and the vast majority of the world, and even most people in America know they're wrong. So they have to use tricks and underdog strategies to win.

They have to find loopholes and think outside the box. It's a real case against asking for forgiveness instead of permission. Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Malcolm Gladwell wrote this book, David vs. Goliath, where he talked about all these underdog strategies and how if you have a basketball team that's less talented than the other teams,

if you do this one strategy of just doing a full court press, you can usually like do much better than your talent would suggest and he also like looked at insurgent warfare and like how you know the north vietnamese defeated the vastly more powerful u.s army and the u.s army had them beaten like all the things that warfare is supposed to be about weapons manpower technology spending but like they were able to just you know outscrap them and i feel like it's a similar case with conservatives versus progressives like progressives have republicans beaten every category that should matter in politics they have uh they're right and people know know their right for the most part. Like America

is way more conservative than the rest of the world because science and reason are the like dominant values in the modern world and reason and science support progressive values. The left has like a media that knows their right. The truth sort of has a liberal progressive bias. Their core ideology is helping others in like a Christian nation. Demographically, they already win the popular vote and things are trending more in their direction. Like Republicans have a shitty hand, but they know they have a shitty hand

and they focus on ways of using like loopholes and brutality. They're just shameless, I feel like. They're using a mighty duck strategy to make the world a harder place to live in for everyone. Exactly. They are the Mighty Ducks of politics. Yeah. God. This is Little Big League. Yeah. God. And I feel like-

The hidden ball trick over and over again. Case against Zambonis. I feel like Democrats assume, and this is what I had kind of assumed, that because progressive values are right, that they'll win out in the end like the whole when they go low we go high sort of has a implication that it's just being right will self-evidently win out in the end and i feel like that's not necessarily the case like you have to play the game and like play it ruthlessly in order to you know beat these people who are fucking brutal and just like finding every single loophole to steal decisions

and steal and you know it doesn't matter how they're doing it because they are affecting people's lives elizabeth warren needs to watch the wire. Yeah. Or Game of Thrones. Something where like... I feel like Game of Thrones is the way because Game of Thrones so Game of Thrones was I think there would be these moments in Game of Thrones where the whole world would be like, oh no! What happened? And it's because it was like the first

show that was like, okay so here's where the narrative conventions would lead. This handsome underdog would defeat the giant monstrous guy he's fighting in battle because he has truth and justice on his side, and he's the more fun, progressive guy, and that guy's head gets squashed like a grape because it's based more on how history works.

And the way history works is that the people who are willing to use violence and just kick dirt in your face. Dragons and stuff. Yeah, and dragons. As we all know, people who are willing to use dragons tend to win out in history. Listen, this is gibberish to me. I'm not a dweeb who watches Game of Thrones. However, yeah, I don't know. Especially because this Supreme Court decision happened today, like on the day of primary

elections in New York. It's just such a slap in the face of like, well, yeah, enjoy voting. Everyone should absolutely vote. But your vote doesn't really matter. And people can steal stuff from you anyways, regardless of what you think and how civically engaged you are. Just depressing. Yeah, but I mean, it should matter. I feel like the people who progressives vote for should be better at their job and realize that they're playing a different game.

They still believe in civility and the right is out here. They're just like, no, we're not going to let you do the thing that it seems like all indications would be that you should be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court justice, but we're just not going to do that, even though it's historically unprecedented. It is crazy. And yeah, it does feel like the political representatives of the left, all are – they are acting like they can't be wrong in the end, that somehow this is all going to work out for them. Right.

To this point that like their sense of how to fight for anything is atrophied. They're so bad at countering things that are so clearly bad. Right. Trump couldn't paint bigger targets on the things that he's doing. And instead they're like, well, let's see. What does the average person care about? Oh, Kathy Griffin. Let's go defend her.

Right. Yeah. You're missing the point. And he's also good at like figuring out what people care about and just being realizing people care about, you know, little fucking reality TV wars and shit like that, that he can, you know, he's running the presidency like a reality TV. I think, yeah, the average person, the sense of civility that we even have among average citizens in the United States, whether we're acknowledging it or not, the president does exemplify what the civility is of the people. And he is the least civil person there is. Right, yeah.

And everyone else is just acting in accordance to that. He says terrible things about other human beings on Twitter all the time. And everybody else is like, oh, that's how we're talking now? All right, cool. Right. Yeah. Like, do you guys feel, do you ever just think, okay, well, history will prove us right? Like, sometimes I think that about the Trump administration.

I'm just like, yeah, but that doesn't help anybody to think that way. Like history vindicating you doesn't help anyone. And that's just like the version of history that we've been given, which is written by mostly the bad people anyways. Right. So it's just like, I don't know. We don't know who's been buried by time. Right. That's true.

So good guys lose and we're doomed. Yep. Cool. And hey, speaking of doomed, so we wanted to take a look at the whole immigration debate has kind of talked around the story of where some of these folks are coming from because, you know, I think there's been stories about how a lot of them are having to cross the entire country of Mexico and how that's gotten more and more treacherous as Mexico has kind of got deadlier and deadlier. And so we had one of our writers, Sam Rabman, kind of take a look at where most of the people who are being detained are coming from. of the people who are being detained are coming from and so it used to be like 98% of the people crossing the Mexican border were just originally from Mexico and that wasn't very long ago at all

that was like within the last 10 years but now it's 50% people from Central America like El Salvador and Honduras and Guatemala, 50% of the people are coming across the border from there. And a big part of it is that during the Obama administration, there was, you know, people talk about how Obama deported more people than any administration in the history of the world. And his administration was deporting people who had committed crimes, but he was deporting them back to their home countries. And when he deported all those people back to their home countries who were criminals, those countries got really, really bad. And so now you have basically this chain reaction of the people who aren't horrible criminals criminals who weren't just deported.

They are now fleeing the countries because to escape the criminals. Yeah, right. So on the one hand, it's like not a bad exchange. You know, we're sending them the people who have all committed like felonies and murders. And we're getting the people who are like, ah, fuck! But they're really coming from horrifying shit. El Salvador became the world's most violent country, not at war in 2015,

when gang-related violence brought its homicide rate to 103 per 100,000. Whoa. In the US, it's 5.4 per 100,000 people. And a lot of the times, people who are fleeing and are like, I'm seeking asylum. I'm in a lot of trouble back there. Please let me stay in America. When the United States is like, we don't believe that you're in that much trouble and send them back, they do get murdered. There's like all sorts of cases of, I think the Columbia School of Journalism

identified 60 cases of immigrants deported back to their country who were then killed or harmed in the way that they were specifically asking to, like trying to escape. It's nuts that we're keeping better track of the people we sent back than the kids we have here. Right. Yeah. So that's the other thing is there's not really a system to reunite parents and kids because they just weren't paying that much attention in the first place because it was just a half-assed decision that was like, yeah, we'll show them. Yeah. So also a bummer. Boy. Yeah.

This podcast is fun. Yeah, exactly. Am. Boy. Yeah. This podcast is fun. Yeah, exactly. Am I right? Yeah, but I mean, so there's one story of this guy, Constantino Morales, who was shot and killed back in Mexico. He was a former police officer in Mexico who publicly stood up against drug trafficking, and cartels kept trying to kill him,

so he came to the U.S. in search of asylum, and he got pulled over for a traffic violation and was found to not have a driver's license, which I know people who drive without a driver's license. They are some of my favorite people who drive without a driver's license, and he was sent back to Mexico for a traffic offense, essentially, and was shot and killed. Oh, man.

Yeah. He was basically given a death sentence for a traffic violation. Also, I mean, the reason that these countries are in such bad shape in the first place is the U.S. has a pretty heavy hand in a lot of that, too. El Salvador, all those Central American countries. That's how we get our cheap bananas and coffee, man, is that we overthrew power so that we could get cheaper food from there. And we're like, we'd prefer your government be this instead. Right. And it's still having these lasting, awful effects.

And then also the drug trade. The drug trade, there's a reason it's all moving north. We're all doing drugs here. Like we want those drugs. Yeah. also the drug trade. The drug trade, there's a reason it's all moving north. We're all doing drugs here. We want those drugs. Yeah. Drugs are great. And we wouldn't have those if all this stuff wasn't going on. Everyone in the United States is just like, either we make drugs legal or we just

everyone has got to stop doing drugs so that everybody stops getting killed in these Central American countries. Can we all agree to stop doing drugs, guys? Right? I'm getting a resounding no from the room. Narcs of note. Yeah. I've been outed as an unlicensed driver.

Yeah, I'm keeping a list of Jamie Loftus things. Hates Game of Thrones. Right. Loves drugs. Loves drugs. Does not drive with a license. Does not drive with a license. I did not out you.

Super producer. I said some of my favorite people. I wasn't even talking about you. I turned myself into the cops on the air. And has already threatened to arrest me on three different Post-its. Yeah, Super Producer Anna Hosnier has been sliding Post-it notes across the table. She's been on the sting for over five years. Almost has enough.

And finally, David Lynch is on a interview tour for his autobiography, which I don't know i love when people are promoting their autobiographies and then just provides you with a sound clip of why you should not be interested in what they have to say at all there you go yeah uh so he's just been doing countless interviews and you know he's a little bit of a quirky guy uh by all accounts a very like friendly person in person. A manic pixie dream elder. Right. He really is. Just like very nice and almost affected to a degree. He credits his serene happiness to transcendental

meditation, which is the closest thing to an accepted cult in the Los Angeles area, but that's just me talking. I'm sure a bunch of our guests would disagree. Jack, by the way, heavy Scientologist. Yeah. Well, I mean, the real cult is the psychiatry and psychiatric medication. When the Twin Peaks reboot came out last year, I tweeted something to the effect of David Lynch is David Foster Wallace for people who can't read.

And I literally had to delete it because the chodes came for me. They were like, not my friend David. He taught me how to breathe slow. David Lynch is, I mean, even though i don't care what he has to say i could listen to him talk about anything for a very long time there's if you ever watch um uh empire city is that what's city of empire what's that movie inland empire yeah inland empire yeah that movie uh in the deleted scenes or no in the no in the extra features he talks for about 18

minutes about how to make quinoa and like in the middle of it there's an intermission of him sitting out on his porch smoking a cigarette and telling the story about how he gave this girl on an Indian train her first coca-cola and it's horrifying like the whole thing is it feels very very tense and at any minute something like the bomb is going to drop of this story. And there is no bomb. It's just the way that he talks, the way that he lives his life. He's just dangling a bomb over you. Yeah, I mean, well, any story about an older man offering a young woman an open beverage, I find chilling to the core.

Chilling. Yeah. Coca-Cola. David Lynch just bothers me. Whatever. Anyways, it's become a big thing in right-wing media that he said that Trump could be the best president in the history of presidents. He could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history. But, I mean, he did say it.

So, I mean, he is leaving that possibility open. His claim, he was putting it in the context of anything can happen. He has disrupted the thing so much. No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way, which is kind of what we were just saying, that he has completely changed the level of discourse to the point that people don't know really how to counter him. But I don't think he will go down as one of the greatest presidents in history. You guys can quote me on that.

What has David Lynch accomplished by saying that? Right. He's just putting it out there that... What a doink. I think he's probably accomplishing, hey, conservatives buy books too. Honestly, I think that this... He's whiting the net.

Right. Ultimately, this is uh net good for any person uh who's like someone they're dating is trying to defend uh the work of david lynch i don't like art that's designed to make me feel like a fucking idiot and that's most of what david lynch does he's like it's long and confusing and there's a dick at the end it's like okay cool we've all been you all done a year of film school. I live for that kind of stuff. I want it to be that way.

Three hours and a dick at the end? Three hours and a dick at the end is anything in my life. Meals, that's what I want. I like it when the artist is like, listen, I'm going to hide a lot of shit in here and you're going to have to find it. Because then it feels like I'm the one a lot of shit in here and you're gonna have to find it because then it feels like I'm the one who's like gotta flip it over and look at

the answer key and be like okay alright okay so this means this this means this and I like that a lot I like that in his movies but you're right it is pretentious and it's kind of insane how David Lynch will never make anything better than Jane the Virgin

which is the best show of all time. And I don't, man, I don't know. I just, David Lynch, for all the positives his work has, and it's not bad. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm saying it's David Foster Wallace for people who can't read. It's David Foster Wallace for the illiterate. And Jane the Virgin is- Is for geniuses who rule. Exactly. Like me. And we're going to go out on that.

We will be right back after these messages. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and in my life.

They just show people's butts. That's all it is. It's just naked people showing their butts. The rip-on ass got me good. Adam Rippon's butt. Holy, holy moly. I took screenshots. Yeah?

You gotta check out that butt. Adam Rippon. So you could have it whenever you wanted it? Also, the algorithm knew I wanted to see that butt because it kept rising to the top of my feed multiple times yesterday. They're like, hey, remember when you were agape

at that butt earlier today? Here it is again from a different angle. You're like, ah! There it is. Wow. Look at that butt. That is something. It's a sinewy. Yeah, a lot of muscle going on. I freaked out.

He looks like a human erection. Hey, that's not the only thing going on today, is it, Jamie? No. It's time for Jamie Loftus' birthday watch. Guess whose birthday it is, guys? Whose birthday is it? The woman with the 40-pound ponytail, Ariana Grande, is 25 years old today. All right.

I know. Happy birthday to Ariana Grande, guys. I'm just grateful that we're finally the same age and have accomplished the same amount, which is pretty cool. You also sort of have a gait that's like a side-to-side gait. Yeah. That's it. Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe she also has pretty bad scoliosis as well. like pretty cool you also sort of have a gate that's like a side to side gate yeah so yeah yeah maybe she also has uh pretty bad scoliosis as well there's a really interesting uh ariana grande uh article i was reading earlier today on the verge about uh big dick energy are you guys familiar with the term big dick energy it's kind of like a fluid term it means something different to everyone but basically uh she used the term uh online and and now it's sort of being interpreted as confidence right uh big dick energy like pete davidson would be interpreted to have big dick energy because it doesn't seem like he should be dating her and yet he is okay so now she's i don't know i was i i'm looking forward to integrating uh big dick energy into how i talk about people an example

of big dick energy is like if you meet someone you're like oh i thought you were going to be taller right because of your vibe i get the opposite all the time you get like you're five seven and it's like i'm six feet tall you. It's actually really upsetting that you would think that. You have little dick energy? I have chode energy. I have withered chode energy. It's just a secret way to say that guy shouldn't be with that woman. Oh, he's got big dick energy then.

Yeah, he must have big dick energy. It's a backhanded compliment at best. Right, and she made it about her fiancé? She made it about her fiancé. he must have big dick energy. It's sort of, it's a backhanded compliment at best. Right. And she made it about her fiance? She made it about her fiance. Hey. She also tweeted his dick size and then deleted it quickly, but the screenshot's in door.

What is it? She, you know, per Ariana, 10 inches. Wow. That is big dick energy. Big dick energy. See, because I figured

Pete Davidson was about 10 inches tall. Turns out. Yeah, he's the height of his alleged dick. He is very uncomfortable all the time. Hey, Jamie, it's time for Love Watch with Jamie Loftus. I'm an expert on love. I'm an expert on love. So my focus on Love Watch today has to do with the royal family in Japan.

Okay. Because in the past couple of months, there have been two princesses in Japan who have voluntarily left or said they're going to leave the royal family to marry commoners. What? Which brings us right back to that big dick energy we were talking about earlier uh no so so as of uh this morning it was reported that uh princess ayako uh is engaged to a he works at a shipping factory i believe she met him she has a degree in social work and does a lot of charity stuff. And she met him through that. And they fell in love.

They met less than a year ago. And now the way the imperial family in Japan works, you have to leave the family in order to marry a regular guy. You're expected to marry your cousin? Your cousin, your brother, your daddy, like something normal in the family. Yeah, they got to have your face or you cannot marry them. If you didn't take a bath with them, you legally cannot marry them. And I think that applies to all royal families.

So she's required to leave the royal family. It very nearly happened earlier this year. Princess Mako declared her intention to marry her college sweetheart and then later backtracked on that and was like, actually, I'm not ready for marriage. But it's speculated that it's because she would have had to leave the family and was having second thoughts. And so the interesting thing to me, uh first of all women in power marrying everyday chodes love it right big dick energy great yes uh aladdin has big dick energy aladdin has huge dick energy he's got one of those baggy pants right exactly whereas jafar more like me very tall withered chode energy like is six foot two gives off a five foot four. So the interesting thing, the way this affects the Japanese imperial family

is because women keep leaving and bailing on the family because there's really no way for them to ever really have a meaningful role in that family anyways because they still only allow male heirs. There is talk in Japan of that changing because the current emperor is scheduled to abdicate in 2019, which is apparently a thing that happens.

You can just retire. Just abdicate. You're just like, oh, peace. And it goes to the next male in line, essentially. There wasn't a male heir for a while, but then in 2006, a male heir was born. So they were in the middle of figuring out, oh, how could we have a female leader? And then little baby big dick energy pops out. And all of a sudden, they're like, actually, we'd rather be ruled by a 12-year-old than a woman who has a master's degree.

Sure. Great, great, great. Good to know where everyone's values are at. But shouts out to Princess Ayako. She's marrying a blue-collar guy, very Romeo Juliet. Juliet. Like it.

No, actually, they were both rich, right? Yeah, they were both rich. Yeah, and that was also statutory rich. Their families were just mad at each other. You know what? Bad, they were both rich. Yeah, and that was also statutory rich. Their families were just mad at each other. You know what? Bad story. Scrap it. Yeah, it definitely has a fable story to it.

The princess marries the commoner, has to learn to be a commoner, and then I think Frog is involved somehow. I don't know. Fables are stupid. She also gets a million, what's equivalent to a million dollar payout to leave the family. They're like, oh yeah, enjoy your life as a commoner in this gorgeous mansion. But interesting that imperial families are still so nervous about any female in power that they're like, actually, you have to leave the family and you can never return, which isn't the case for every family like that.

Right. That would be like if they made Harry leave because he was marrying Meghan. Yeah. It would have been a great, yeah, it's like, I want to see the Japanese royal wedding, but they're like, no, you actually have to go to the local congregational church. Right. Do it on a wednesday afternoon um yeah i actually didn't really know that there were still princesses i didn't either princes in japan until we were watching the world cup and uh they

showed a princess cheering when japan scored an equalizer that That's right. It's time for the World Cup date. All right. Thank you, Doug. My blood pressure just spiked. Nothing makes you feel cooler. I love sporting. I love sporting. Yeah, Jamie, let's get the World Cup date from you.

Can I just say, Jack, global sporting rules. Global. Sporting across the globe, I'm here for it. I like that, what is the Zamboni of soccer? There's no Zamboni of soccer. Is it bad to call it? Boring.

Why don't they have a gigantic lawnmower? I guess they do. Here's the world cup date uh that wasn't it that what's a land zamboni uh what is the zamboni of the sea okay uh i wrote this for me because i don't understand how sports work. Okay, Iran and Portugal tied. So that kicked Iran out of the tournament. But the Iranian goalie, Alraiza Beirunvant? Okay, stopped a penalty goal by legend Cristiano Ronaldo. Do know who that is. And he was such a little bitch about it.

He got very pissed. He was like, hey, excuse me, this is my game. And he was very upset. And he got a little little bitch about it. He got very pissed. He was like, hey, excuse me, this is my game. And he was very upset. And he got a little weepy about it, which is what I love about sports is when men can openly display emotion and be supported. But they need like a, it's like a koosh ball, you know, but an actual ball. Global sporting is good. What else?

There's some scores. Back to you. That's our sporting enthusiast, Jamie Loftus. There's a couple of scores that are going and others that are in progress. Who will win? Scores that are going? Right now, there's a tie. There's two ties right now.

Nigeria and Argentina are tied as we record this. So if that continues, Nigeria will go on to the round of 16. But the round of 16 is being ironed out. The round of 16? Yes. How many rounds are there? 32. So 32 teams start out. Half of them get eliminated from their group. So, so far we have Uruguay and Russia are moving on. Saudi Arabia and Egypt have been eliminated. Spain and Portugal are moving on. Iran and Morocco have been eliminated. France and Denmark moving on. Peru and Australia eliminated. So Croatia is definitely moving on. Nigeria is probably going

to move on. 538 is giving it an 84% chance, 85 now. Wow. That changed as I was looking at it. Wow. Stats, sports, kicking. Switzerland, Brazil. That changed as I was looking at it. Sports. Kicking. Switzerland, Brazil. Don't touch it. That's against the rules. Right. Unless it goes outside the chalk line. Or you're the goalie.

And then you can pick it up. You know what's crazy that I was looking at? I was trying to figure out the rules for how they determine who in the group. If the records are the same and if the goals are the same, then they go to number of red and yellow cards. Oh, really? Yeah, and your red and yellow cards count against you. Fifth grade discipline style. That would be like if the NBA was like,

okay, well, the score is tied at the end of the fourth quarter, so who had the most fouls? All right, you lose. You lose. Right. My last soccer memory was when I was six and I caught the ball because I forgot the rules. And then they went, Jamie!

And then I cried. I was like, you know, that's a wrap on me and sports for the rest of my life. Sounds like my baseball career. For stats heads, there are a lot of things you can follow now with soccer. You can see how far somebody has run the whole game. You can keep track of how many kilometers they've gone and if you look at the russian team like the stats are just juked like these guys are running more than twice as

much as anybody else up and down the field oh really yeah so they're just so high yeah i'm pretty sure that these guys are juiced yeah that russia who has a long illustrious history of juicing their athletes, suddenly their athletes are killing everybody in the World Cup out of nowhere. Nobody thought Russia

was going to be good. Right. And they're amazing. And it's like, oh, okay. Their pupils are like the size of their whole eyes. Russian athletes

are bona fide scammers. Always have been, always will be. Yeah. So that's all crazy. Messi, it looks like, might be eliminated if his team continues to tie Nigeria. What team he on? He on Argentina.

Cool. He's tied with Nigeria, which would mean he loses to Nigeria. And Nigeria has the coolest uniforms in the World Cup, so we'll work for them. Better than the Netherlands, who look like they're all going hunting? I actually haven't seen the Netherlands. Are they terrible? They wear bright orange. I think almost every single day.

Really? That's great. That's a bold move. Yeah. I like it. Bright orange. It looks like traffic cones out there. That's very traffic.

I like it. I don't understand. Why did... Soccer is just like hockey on the field, right? Yeah. You play on an outdoor rink that has grass on it. It's like we could be playing hockey, but we're not. Right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. Not really, but... Same rules. There are a lot of similar rules. You're not wrong. Is there hat tricks? There are.

There are hat tricks in soccer? Yeah, there's offsides. There's no icing. I don't know what that is. There's no ice. That's a big problem. No, I'm saying there's offsides. There's no icing. Oh, I don't know what that is. There's no ice. That's a big problem. No, I'm saying there's no icing. There is no icing on the cake.

You can't punch anyone, right? Or can you? It's like the opposite of being able to punch people. They will make your team lose if you punch somebody. Or even if you take the semblance of a thought of a punch. Right. The person will that person will- The thought police, you can get penalties for thoughts?

Yeah, the ref will come over and be like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, the other player will sense that you thought about punching them and fall to the ground and their head will fall off. It's very dramatic. So I guess there are more similarities than I realized. All right, guys. It is that time that we all like. It is time for that we all like. It is time for Face Watch with super producer Anna Hosnier.

Anna. Oh, my God. Thank you so much for having me back. Face Watch. I only come in for Face Watch. No, not Face Wash. Face Watch, where Anna was. Face Wash, brought to you by Proactiv.

There you go. You'll all be hearing from my lawyers lawyers But if anyone watched The Bachelor last night Which I know I'm triggering a lot of dudes right now Who listen to this show Did anyone fucking see Wayne Newton's face On this shit? I did because you sent it to us via text message Actually he shows up on horseback

Because as Wayne Newton does I like that And his face looks like it's stretched over a skull, but it's like really tan. So it looks like old leather. It is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. It's like, sir, you don't need that much work on your face. You know what? Big dick energy.

I think that's some real big dick energy. Well, I feel like if you have big dick energy, you wouldn't need that much plastic surgery. But he has crossed that point. So there's the point where it's like, man, he's had a lot of plastic surgery. And he has crossed beyond that into the point where I'm pretty sure that's not Wayne Newton's face anymore. That's like a different human being. It's like Rennell Zellweger had that moment where she appeared and everyone's like, oh, that's not Renelle Zellweger. She stole somebody's face.

It's baffling to try and understand his face. I just would pause it and just stare to try and really understand. I don't think he has eyelids. It's very weird. Did he blink? Do we have confirmation? There is no confirmation that he blinked. Interesting.

I just don't know what I was looking at. I'm very confused. It looks like it would be a good reference point if you were learning how to draw faces because it's completely featureless. Yes, exactly. He looks like he should be in the Polar Express. It's very uncanny valley. It's a Final Fantasy character.

It has an uncanny valley. It was very hard to tell if he was pleased, unpleased, if he had care for any of the men on the show. We just didn't really know who he was for, who he was against. And he would not shut up about his song, Dankeschön. Did he write that? I'm pretty sure that wasn't written by him, was it? No, but he made it famous. Yeah.

I mean, he just needs to remind things that the original Wayne Newton did so that people identify this new face with him. Soren, you said something funny. He looks like he has like the mask of Michael Myers from Halloween. Yeah, that's exactly. It looks like if you just gave him a little bit of concealer and like made something that was a little too white for

him, then he would look exactly like it looks like the least helpful police sketch ever. It's just like, so they have eyes, a nose, and a face in the mouth. And they have straight white teeth that look like they were glued into his mouth. When you take away all of his features, you realize how tiny of a face he actually has. His face looks really small, yeah. It's all right.

It's centered in the middle, and there's a lot of negative space. Yeah. He's a canvas. He and there's a lot of negative space yeah um it's a canvas his hairline starts about 10 inches from where his eyebrows are and it has been worked on a bad number uh good number i don't know how many inches you're fine jack you look great just don't get any work done wait but is that a lot of inches from Just, there's... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, what is a face but a canvas for a second face? That is a walk. That's great.

Well, Super Producer Anna Hosnia, thank you so much for that update. She's always on the lookout for other people who are no longer wearing their faces. So if you have a new face to point out to us, you know where to find her. Sorin, it's been a goddamn pleasure having you,

seeing you again, just being in your midst. Did you say mist? In your mist, yes. You spit a lot when you talk, and it's wildly uncomfortable. Where can people find you, follow you? You can follow me on Twitter at Soren underscore LTD or you can watch American Dead.

Okay. And is there a tweet that you particularly like or dislike that you would like to share with us? Yeah, this one is from a woman named Samantha Ruddy. I don't know if anyone follows her. Love her. She's great. She's fantastic.

She said, I saw a strip club across the street from a mini golf place, and I'm liberal, but that's too much for me. What if you're just trying to have a nice afternoon with your family, then your kids look across the street and have to see a bunch of losers playing mini golf? That's good. Jamie?

Oh, here's my favorite one of today. Ice-T tweeted about death several times before 9 a.m. today. 8.09 a.m. The cold thing about death, death capitalized, dot, dot, dot. 8 a.m. It's coming regardless. You're just like, okay.

And then a few seconds later, everyone is just one mistake away from prison or death, dot, dot, dot. Jesus. Everyone. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Ice-T., dot, dot. Jesus. Everyone. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. It's 8.04 a.m. You know what's really fun is picturing him saying those things in his voice

because he's got such a fun voice. He's probably just in his trailer eating a breakfast bar and is like, you know what? This is just occurring to him.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
