international something on a stick day yep nope see my dog likes that sounds like a midwestern person saying shit on a stick or something like that it sounds like a cleaned a cleaned up version you know it's a bit of a something on a stick situation right right right i think this is more of a like maybe a hot dog on a stick, corn dogs, celebrating things on a stick, I think. Wally pops, popsicles. Yeah, kabobs, you know, yachitori for all my Japanese people out there, you know what I mean? You got it all. Every day for me is national something

The cadence is very similar, and I don't know LMFAO songs too much, so I was really struggling with that one. Anyway.

I thought it was great. I could hear the beat thumping from my days. It brought me back to my... It was actually so good that it brought me back to my days at the club, and it was uncomfortable. Those were dark times. What were you doing at the club?

Oh, man. What wasn't I doing at the club? We got to go to the club, man. Yeah. Should we just do that just to shock ourselves, just to get back in like the zeitgeist, like just to see what the culture is about? We go to Vegas for one weekend, stone cold sober, just with pen and pad and just taking notes the whole time. Be like, and this is what happened crime room sketch artist work like in the back they're like like i i occasionally very rarely

will like go to a party or you know be at a you know club like event and that the culture doesn't evolve as much as i i don't know i guess it depends on what kind of clubs you're at it's just the flex material evolves right you know like i was like i was partying pre-sparkler era you know yeah like if you usually just like yo we got to get a bottle because we got to sit down and then now it's like you got to get a bottle because it's a pyrotechnic show and they will waste champagne out of like a cannon and that's the part i think that's where it's sort of leveling up but anyway yeah i only know about the sprinkler the uh sparklers because i think john wick kills somebody with a bottle of champagne with a sparkler in it and i am old as fuck and then you're like see i don't

need to go to the club i just saw that i get get it. Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious stand-up comedian, actor, and writer who has a very funny stand-up album that just dropped. Welcome back to the show, Irene 2! Irene! What's up? I can't do a fun song or a rap. I didn't know that that's what you guys were doing. I know. No, we just do it to, you know, humiliate ourselves before the guests so that't know that that's what you guys were doing i know no we just do it to you

know and uh humiliate ourselves before the guests so that you know that we are ridiculous human it was impressive you don't have to just to put the bar on the ground so then everyone knows that's where it's at hey see this would be a fun show we started off with that so we're only going up we were just talking last time you were on seems like a long time ago to the point that i didn't even remember but the you know we don't always talk about like what people talked about last time but last time you were on was dog face 420 taking the world by storm with that dream skating video yeah the cranberry juice yeah Yeah. Yeah. What a time. You could have told me that was four years ago.

It felt like it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. 2020. When I see it referenced now, I'm like, that thing from 2008? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's what it feels like in my mind.

Yeah. But anyways, doing this podcast is great because it gives you a little preview of what it's going to be like, or it gives me a little preview of what it's going to be like, or it gives me a little preview of what it's going to be like for me to have dementia, because it's all just dropped into a pool of thousands of hours of podcasting. But time is indeed a flat circle. How have you been since we last spoke? Good.

I mean, that was, I think, peak pandemic. And then just started doing stand-up again once that opened up. And then I recorded this album. And now it's out. And I don't know what to do next. Yeah, yeah. Wait, when and where did you record the album? I recorded it November 2021 at the Punchline in San Francisco.

Oh, yeah. That's called We're Done Now. Yeah, We're Done Now. Yeah. So go check it out. Yeah, super funny. Some of the bits I was listening to was really enjoying it. Thank you. And we don't do the thing where we just cue up a bit

from you and we're like, you were saying to us before we started recording something about sex? Something about boring sex? Yeah. Alright. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners

a couple of the things we're talking about. We got to talk about Jenny Thomas, the shit that dropped at the end of last week. Yeah. She's just full-blown Q-brained. Boer lady. Yeah. And and has at least, you know, it would seem influenced one decision by the Supreme Court, which was whether to release these documents that we're now getting to read. So I don't know. But there's a

lot of talk as Trump was trying to overthrow the election that like, but the Supreme Court's there. And even though they're a bunch of conservatives, they're still, you know, they still got it. The Supreme Court, they're going to they're going to hold it down. And man, it's wild to read. So we'll get into that. What what what the wildness is. We're going to talk about Madison Cawth the colonel sanders biopic that is coming our way eventually all of that plenty more but first irene we do like to ask our guest what is something

from your search history i googled uh french laundry the restaurant the restaurant yes i don't i don't google like you know when you do questions, what is, like, the height of a bird or something? I don't do that. I just type in. Height of a bird. I don't. You know how people ask, like, questions like that? Right.

They're like, who is this person? I just type in the thing, and I assume. It knows enough. It knows what I want. So I just typed in French Laundry. I was trying to go. You a bit of a foodie? Yeah, I'm a bit of a foodie. Okay, it's uh it's also my birthday next month so i want

to eat yeah and i've always wanted to go to french laundry but yeah i don't think it's gonna happen unless somebody can get me in okay look zeitgang restaurant restaurant tour zeitgang where is it in yontville how do you say that place yeah i think I think it's like Yonkville. Yonkville? Okay. I thought it was in San Francisco. No, it's like in like Napa Valley area. Yeah, it's just outside. Remember, that's where Gavin went during the pandemic. I love Napa. Oh, yeah. Simply must go to Napa for a weekend.

You truly must. I mean, the similarities between there and Tuscany are actually, you don't know where you are sometimes. It's fantastic. Yeah, it is where gavin newsom got in trouble yeah right yeah yeah they're like you're eating at one of the best restaurants in the state but that's how you know it's got to be good like he almost like lost his job over this meal so i'm like i gotta go right right right yeah what's the what are they like what kind of what is it about food that you enjoy? I love food as well. So.

What is it about food? Because, you know, everyone, you know, some people love the presentation. They like to go out to eat. There's this like certain things. But what is, aside from the nourishment. I'm a food on a stick man myself. But yeah. Presentation's cool.

But for me, it's all about the the the taste and the texture yeah i want to taste the original ingredients oh you know wow like i want like a nice cut of steak you know you know what i mean like i don't need you to slab it with crazy spices and sauces i want like what it actually is right right right oh okay so the quality it's about really the quality ingredients shining through the dishes okay yeah for me it's just having a bite and you go oh my god and that happens just fell out a little bit yeah i just it's that's that's the dragon i chase when i go to eat is just those those bites you have and you're like they've done it they've done it yeah if i want to like order another of the thing that i ate that's how that's how you know you did you watch that spongebob episode where um spongebob has a krabby patty i don't know the like the king poseidon or

whatever i can't remember what his name is but he has like a krabby patty for the first time and it's so good he needs to eat it again so So he spits it out and eats it again. That's great. I might try some shit like that. Yeah. But something about the understanding of, oh, these are the ingredients. That is what that thing tastes like. Because if it's just taste and texture i'm good with taco bell but i don't

part of the charm of taco bell is the complete absence of any sense that this has come from like any natural ingredient at all ever yeah yeah it's a wonder of science that's interesting to me that you you like to to be able to like have a sense i mean it's not i feel like a lot of people are like that i guess it's just something i i lack by the way the average height of a robin bird 14 centimeters in case anyone was curious like i was after you said that and i did not google it as a question i just said height of bird. See, that's what I do. I'm like, I never do the questions, but people love to type it in as if you're asking a person.

Google has no option. You're not asking Google whether they would like to answer that question for you. You just say, Google, do your job. Give me this information. Bring it. All right. Well, Zeitgang, we need a french laundry reservation stat reach out to irene irene where what what's your uh social media handle yeah you

can find me on instagram and twitter at irene underscore two that's tu and uh yeah send me that french laundry reservation yeah please yeah or something comparable you know you never know someone might come through with something. They're like, actually, this is what's good. I'm open. It doesn't have to be French Laundry. Bouchon's fine. You know what I mean? We're not going to be picky. I'll eat that chicken liver mousse.

You know what I mean? Alright, what is something you think is overrated? Something I think is overrated is Impossible Burgers. Okay. Didn't mean to make this all about food, but I guess it's just on my mind.

I love it. You've expressed your meat-eating affinity twice now. So you're out on Impossible Burgers in particular. Hey, I'm not saying they're bad. I'm just saying the hype is too much. Mm-hmm. They're like, it's just like a regular burger.

It bleeds, you know? And I'm like, no, that's not it. That's beet juice. Yeah, that's not it. That's not real blood. That's not what I'm looking for. There is like the, when I pan fry it with a lot of salt and I treat it like just a grimy burger.

That's the that's like the best iteration I've had of it. Or at that restaurant Crossroads in L.A., they do these like miles into high school. This is the place that Travis Barker's vegan spot on Melrose. Oh, OK. They have these like meat cigars that they call them. Really interesting name. But it's really like a fried like spring roll almost. Like sort of like in a sort of light below-ish kind of wrapping that's fried.

And the filling in that with Impossible, I damn near thought it was meat. So, you know, at times it can be tricky. But if you're a beef patty purist, then yeah, I don't think really anything. It's just the texture's off, you know? I agree that if I'm coming from eating meat to that and people are like, it's just as good, it's overrated. The times that I understand the hype is when I eat what used to pass for a veggie burger and then have one of those it's like that that leap it definitely is a leap in terms of unless i don't know so some people like the like dried out husk of yeah that's really what it is yeah and like dried black beans

yeah all right uh by the way, meat, meat, cigar. Is that what it was? I think that's what it was called. Because I remember even on the menu, I'm like, this is the best y'all could do with this. That is weird. Unacceptable. That has to be like some weird, like fucking weird euphemistic term. Yeah.

Like smoking on a meat cigar. That sounds like a virgin talking about a penis. Right. Yeah. They may have changed it. I don't know. And maybe I just made it up in my mind and I'm like, what are these meat cigars? But I'm pretty sure

it was the name. It came from your virgin mind. Right. Exactly. What's something you think is underrated? People who are not on social media. I'm so jealous. Yeah. Do you have friends like that b not many i have one friend who is knows nothing of facebook instagram or twitter i'm so jealous he just walks his dog

does it from the truman show how do they know my boy? No, no, my boy Jono. He's just like one of these people who absolutely just never enticed him. Even when Facebook was out, he's like, I don't know. I don't really want to hook up a camera to a computer to upload an image of myself to post as my profile. Does he even have a computer? Yeah, he's got a computer. He got an old-ass iMac from 2010. Damn. He's just one of these like I don't

know simpler but I definitely I'm jealous of him because he he knows nothing of like the ills of social media truly yeah like never makes me feel better right I'm trying to think what like that's not a that's not a thing that would get in the way of your ability to function like really at all right like right are there it's tough because like you know we were like in entertainment so it's hard to like get the word out if you're not posting about it right right like guaranteed eyeballs on something uh when you can tweet something or whatever but even if it's just your own eyeballs yeah just like i guess i am doing that show tonight yeah super producer trisha dropped all her social media said it was a great decision so good for you good for you i'm

emotionally healthy person that we work with there was a like time in the early aughts where it was cool to be like i don't watch tv and i feel like that time has passed but maybe this is the new i don't watch tv or i don't even own a tv is like i don't know i don't have twitter what right yeah i feel like right now it's just really popular to be like on tiktok or like tiktok famous like that's the thing right now yeah yeah but Yeah. But it's going to come back around where it's like, no, I don't have any of that. Yeah. Yeah. Right.

Oh, please, please come. Please make it soon. I feel like a veritable Jono when it comes to TikTok. I'm just on the on the outside walking my dog here and every once in a while when I pass an open window somebody producer becca talking about talking about uh what's happening on tiktok but for the most part it it feels i have similar thoughts on tiktok and video games that like they're getting so good at this that i i the time that i spent on it like you know 45 minutes that went by too quickly and And I was like, Oh, that's, that's not good. I feel like I'm Adam Sandler and click here. Like that was just,

I could turn around in 10 years and just have a beard and a, like thousands of hours of Tik TOK to show for it. Yeah. Yeah. That's my fear. It's just like, I'm like, Oh wow.

What did I do with my life? Just wasted it staring at my phone. Right. Yeah. I've, I've become best friends with the videos on Tik TOK. It's like, Hey, Hey, oh, wow, what did I do with my life? Just wasted it staring at my phone. Yeah. I've become best friends with the videos on TikTok. It's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, scrolling for like three hours straight. You want to knock it off maybe? Talk to your family?

And I'm like, shut up. You care about me. Keep the videos coming. It's the most caring thing anyone's ever said to me. That's the person who cares about me most is that dynamically inserted algorithmic video that says, hey, hey, hey, you're using the app too long. But like for me, I don't feel like the only references I miss. Like I think there's maybe a computerized like voice that does like voiceovers or some shit on TikTok. And like people make fun of that. And I'm like, all right. Like like, voiceovers or some shit on TikTok. And, like, people make fun of that. And I'm like, all right.

Like, I don't get that. But for the most part, like, I don't feel like I'm missing that much shit. I feel like that's funny that that's the one thing that you. That's the only rapid TikTok aesthetic. Yeah. Yeah. Because, like, the people are all just feel, I don't know. They're all just,, I don't know. They're all just like dancing and stuff.

Yeah, it's just an ocean of like different, undifferentiated faces of young people who dance. And I don't know. That is not something that I would be talking about anyways. Oh, Jack, man, I got to come over. I'll throw my TikTok up on your TV and I'll show you what the algorithm's giving me. That's some, it thinks i'm a basketball like loving narco obsessed like chef like i get dancing here those things well because the because it starts feeding you stuff based on

the kind of videos you watch more of and it thinks like that's Spanish speaking. I'm a Spanish speaking person obsessed with narcotics, trafficking, dancing food. And you know, the, the random thing here and there, but I like the, the things you're like,

it's the aesthetic that you're realizing. You're like, that's what's different. You're like, why does everybody use this robot woman voice to narrate their videos? It's that one. Or like the one with the accent that I see too. It's like, this is what it looks like

when you spend five bucks at Costco on a Wednesday. Like that's another automated voice. I haven't seen that one actually. Yeah, that's the only thing I've heard that made me vaguely curious. Be like, huh, they've got a new computerized voice over thing.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.

and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

And Jenny Thomas is, yeah, just very, very disturbing.

Very disturbed. Yeah. This is Justice Clarence Thomas's wife. And, you know, she has some very controversial things to say about the 2020 election. Very nice and controversial things. Some very Q-brained, left the planet long before we even realized things to say. She said, my home planet needs me and dissolved into the air about five years ago. But yeah, she's been all over the news.

to the air about five years ago but yeah she's been all over the news you know like initially a lot of it was like yo she's a super active activist on like the far right she has a lot of ties to the organizing of the january 6th rally when people are like oh that's a terrible fucking look and then last time we talked about her we were talking about this puff piece that she was in this conservative outlet where she was sort of like framing her involvement in all of this like insurrection shit is like i was just a concerned american you know and like and honestly when it started popping off i like wasn't feeling great so i left so i didn't get to like bash the capitol police with a barricade and then steal something from nancy pelosi's office i left at that point and all of this information probably should have been

enough for clarence thomas to recuse himself from any supreme court decision involving january 6th but or just quit i don't know i probably won't because you know he was the lone dissenter in the eight to one decision uh to not shield trump's documents from the january 6th committee so that means amy carmy barnett brett carbonara carbonara brand fucking uh gorsuch like all the trump people they were like nah this is we're not that craving but right fucking clarence thomas did and it would might not surprise you yeah because we start seeing. Yeah, because we start seeing Washington Post has these texts, right, from Ginny Thomas to the chief of staff of Trump's White House, Mark Meadows, who is, by the way, under investigation for voter fraud because he said he was living in a trailer in North Carolina that he actually didn't. So that's on his plate also. Oh, just like straight up claimed to vote from a place like that kind of voter fraud?

Yeah, they're like, you live in Virginia. Not like the high level. No, yeah. And his wife filled out the thing, like filling out papers that say, this is a felony if you like wrongfully, like if you fill this out incorrectly or misrepresent where you live and they're like, yeah, don't worry. I'm white, honey. Watch me do this shit.

Wow. The one thing that they can accuse us of. Right, exactly. Not the one thing, but like. of right exactly not the one thing but chief of staff right and like tax fraud yeah exactly so one of these so these texts come out right and they're from again the wife of a supreme court justice to the chief of staff of the of the president on the day after the election she texted meadows a fucking link to this youtube video from this guy who's you know this guy named steve uh pichenik and it says the trump sting was cia director steve pichenik the biggest election story in history qfs blockchain she tweets this to mark meadows says quote i hope this is true never heard anything like this before or even a hint of it

possible watermarked ballots in over 12 states have been part of a huge trump and military white hat sting operation in 12 key battleground states now we've talked about this we talked about this in the lead up to the election right after the election because this is the thing people are saying is that trump was actually putting working with the military to have these like watermarked ballots so it would be clear that the fraud ballots that the democrats were trying to use would be easily identified and could be pulled and would prove once and for all who the real cheaters are that never happened that wasn't true but wait that so that was a theory they had that trump had done something or that the democrats had like watermarked it with invisible ink yes that was did it involve decoder rings as well like because it definitely feels like some shit that my kids

would be like making up as well like when you do the invisible ink right yeah exactly invisible ink a paper fortune teller and that's how you knew how to decode all this stuff. And first of all, that video is from a guy who's on InfoWars with Alex Jones constantly, who says stuff like Sandy Hook and the Vegas mass shooting were false flags. And like, so that's the universe where his Ginny Thomas is like, check out this guy's video, huh? This could work right to overturn the election results we're seeing this. So you could tell from the beginning all of her energy was in the this result isn't real we have to do everything we can to stop it

then if that wasn't weird enough she texted this a few days later quote biden crime family and ballot fraud co-conspirators elected officials bureaucrats social media censorship mongers fake stream media reporters etc are being arrested and detained for ballot fraud right now and over coming days and will be living in barges off gitmo to face military tribunals for sedition she sent that to the fucking chief of staff yes yes she wouldn't he know that if that was happening the wild shit is apparently they say the flow of the text is like she he didn't respond for like 10 days she just kept me like he was like oh shit okay um did she hit him with the like question mark thing? And then the exclamation mark thing? Hey, did you get this text?

Oh, yeah. Emphasize, emphasize. Right, right, right. Oh, just like nine passive aggressive. That's not even passive. That's aggressive as fuck at that point. So then, so she goes down this whole thing. Again, she's sending this to the chief of staff,

trying to be like, pay attention to this stuff. She even was saying like, you got to let the crack in lawyer, Sidney powell who remember who was like that woman who was clearly called back to her home planet as well based on how she was speaking in public was like yeah the everything's a fraud and you know she lost every like nearly every decision that's when she was submitting stuff to try and gum up the election results or tabulations every time she was losing. And then been sanctioned since because they're like, you did all of this in such bad faith.

Like there's no way you could ever call yourself a lawyer, but yeah, every judge that she's gone in front of, like including the, like just Trump appointed ones. Yeah. The Trump appointed ones who might as well have a Confederate flag, like behind their,

you know, judge stand, not bench. I think they're called. You can't just pump fake evidence in the tribe. Yeah, like this is not like how reality works. So she said, so this text she sends to Meadows says, quote, sounds like Sidney and her team are getting inundated with evidence of fraud. Make a plan, release the Kraken and save us from the left taking america down boom boom so it starts to make sense why clarence thomas may have been the lone

dissenting vote there or voice in that decision because yeah it's stuff like this that would come out that is truly it's it's wild and at the same time it is to be expected because like this is just what the right is in in the in modern america is just completely detached from any version of reality that makes sense like 53 wrong turns later you you end up at the very beginning of what the idea is there, theory is based on. But plus side, great husband. Right? I mean, a sweetheart.

Yeah. I mean, that would have caused some problems if he came home and she's like, oh, so you went 9-0? You went with all of them? Really, Clarence? Really, Claire? He's like, I'm sorry, babe. It's a bridge too far for you. You're sleeping on the couch. With all of them. Really, Clarence? Really, Claire?

He's like, I'm sorry, babe. It's just, it's a bridge too far for you. You're sleeping on the couch. You're in the doghouse, Clarence. But yeah, it is one of those things too. You see how, again, their aims are quite literally to involve all three branches of government in trying to overturn the election on some level. Like, I guess, you you know this seems like okay this is obviously a bridge too far there will be pressure for him to step down maybe he steps down like that is my pre you know 2016 thinking getting like oh he's done yeah this is this is just gonna

like if anything i could see this being like the the left is like attacking the woke mobs attacking clarence thomas and like that this like causes the right to like double down on like making sure clarence thomas doesn't resign and you which was in the entire at least there were rumors that he was considering it at one point well yeah and let's not forget he's as for this recording i believe we haven't heard anything about his condition since he went in the hospital. So as of this recording, actually, this morning, which is days ago for our listeners, he was discharged from Washington, D.C. hospital Friday morning, a week after he was admitted for what court spokesperson described as an infection.

Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. COVID-19. I'm'm gonna tell a completely unrelated story to to this when i was a kid and i got caught i think it was like i forgot an important homework assignment or like i i fucked up in some way that like i knew i was in trouble with my mom and i came home and i was like oh my stomach my stomach. Oh damn. I'm real sick. Like, because she didn't know yet. And I knew it was going to come out. And then she was real worried about me. And then she was like, Hey, I'm looking at your backpack. And like that assignment that you are supposed to like be working on is not here. And I like oh damn i think i forgot it she was like is this why you're sick that's hilarious that i mean he could be doing that i'm just saying he knew this shit

was about to drop he's like i got an infection oh my guts get me out of here i mean there there is like i didn't feel great when i was claiming to feel sick because i knew some shit was coming down on me like you know there's there's a story the other day about the dude who that uh song driver's license is about like he was hospitalized like after that song like hit and everyone was like yo fuck this dude i mean he's a child but like he was hospitalized with like heart failure for like a week wow yeah so i don't know yeah maybe he's like just feeling guilty or like you know like the telltale heart kind of thing yeah right right yeah i mean you'd hope so but yeah we'll see where this goes i mean i think you know a lot of people are like you know imagine

if this was fucking katanji brown jackson's partner you know what i mean what would have happened or even so to my or any any of the liberal justices you know like what would have happened if this kind of shit came out and granted there were some things about ginsburg's husband for sure but in this instance like you know fox news would have a fucking meltdown and you're like and then like it's funny when you watch on channels like msnbc people are like well you know like imagine what they would be doing right now they would melt down if this was another justice and it's like well this is pretty fucking big too but i think the problem is not that it's a problem is that what you're inevitably going to come up against is that the conservatives are going to say oh you're going after the one black

conservative justice oh okay that's what this is about that's what this is about and you're like hold on you're not about to do that when we saw you put up do that straight up racist circus with the confirmation hearings for you know katanji brown jackson let's stop this but you know that's where they're going and i and i was reading a few places where they're trying to really make sure like clarence thomas is almost like has that appeal or that like mythos like ruth bader ginsburg did for you know big d democrats like they want they want people to feel like they're like that's our guy but yeah i mean i just just read Fox News just to like triple check that they aren't covering this at all. The top story is unearthed emails.

I was like, what? Make alarming revelation. What about CDC's COVID-19 school reopening guidance? So don't nothing to see here. Yeah, that's funny, though. They're like, well, you think those are some leaked documents? Well,

hold onto your butts because we got one too. Uh, they are unclear in their wording around reopening. Right. Scandal. All right. Should we talk about Madison Cawthorn? Just keep,

keep the streak alive of just absolute madness? Yeah. I mean, sure. Madness abounds. Madness truly abounds. Yeah. So Madison Cawthorn is a turd, basically. What did he do this time?

Well, I mean, there's been so many things. I mean, the last six months, it's been like recently what he got popped for driving with a revoked license. Like again, you know, that that like thing came out about his marriage where it like lasted for like only a few months. And he was like introduced to her like a Russian casino, which many people like. That's the shadiest thing I've ever heard of that. You met your like six month wife, like a Russian at a Russian casino. What were you doing in Russia? And then he was in Russia,

just traveling with the boys met some dude at a Russian casino. That dude then set him up to come down to a turn, a competition. I think it was a CrossFit competition. Yes. That ended up a CrossFit competition. Yes. A CrossFit competition. A CrossFit competition, Irene, that ended up being fake. What? And so this is like, as he's telling, so he like got married a year ago.

They're already getting divorced. But he, people were like, so like, tell us the story. Like young love that really gets butts in the seat. And he was like, he couldn't tell it in a way that made any sense other than, oh, you were being set up by like a Russian like intelligence service of some sort. Yeah. They like this dude who he met at a Russian casino was like, hey, come to Florida. I want you to compete in this CrossFit competition. He's like, I don't have the use of my legs. And the guy was like, it's okay. Just come down. The competition isn't real.

He said, just do the pull-up part. Just do the pull-up part. That's what he told him. He said, you can do the pull-up part. And as Madison Cawthorn tells you, he's like, and then I came down and found out it wasn't even a real competition. He just wanted to get me down there to introduce me to my wife. And we've been together ever since. And it's true love.

It's like what there was a like intelligence cut out that was involved with like getting you to a fake competition to meet your current wife like that you are being set up dude also like i've if i was smarter i'd be like man fuck y'all you think you're just gonna get me to go somewhere because you say crossfit you know what i mean like you know in that dossier they're building on him they're like i don't know i think if we say go to florida for a crossfit thing he'll be like say less yeah for sure for sure that in that sense i'm like you don't fucking know me okay don't fuck with whatever fine so that comes. And then I think one of the more recent things since the Russian invasion of Ukraine broke out,

he's like, Zelensky's a thug. And everyone's like, what the fuck is this guy going on about? So many people in North Carolina, I think especially in those in his district, they see his priorities of being more about being in the spotlight than actually representing them in Congress. So I'm sure he felt very relieved when he had the opportunity to glad hand in the spotlight than actually representing them in Congress. So I'm sure he felt very relieved when he had the opportunity to glad hand in the district and pose with a gigantic check

for $200,000 for his constituents, for his district. Except this check comes from the bipartisan infrastructure bill that he voted against, but he's still trying to do a fucking victory lap. And luckily luckily some of the local press there isn't so enamored with him that they basically pressed him about his vote like as he was taking the picture and i'm just gonna play that clip because it's fucking awkward in the best way so he's sitting you got the check the check. Camo hat. Camo jacket. People are posing. Am I going?

Nope. So happy. It's got the congressional seal on it. So, Congressman, did you vote for this appropriation or against it? This particular appropriation, we advocated for it in the appropriations package, but the larger bill we voted against it. Did you vote for it, though? As I just said, I think the larger bill we voted against. Okay, thank you. Alright, let's look here.

As I said, I think the larger bill we voted against. And then, after that, he smiles and gives the thumbs up for the picture. Like, God, I wish, you know, this is the thing like that. You hope that there was some kind of legislation that's like if you pose with a big ass check. And you fucking voted against it.

There has to be like some big red X or some shit on it. So you can't fucking claim a victory on that one and be like, you know, it says this asshole did fuck all for this money. And in fact, he would rather watch you starve. If you could something like that, just to communicate to the people how, you know, duplicitous some of our congressional members can be.

Also, is that gang? What is, you can't cash one of those big checks, right? That's just a prop. Is that actually? Yeah.

Okay. Nevermind. Are you, what are you thinking of? I'm just trying to picture happy Gilmore. those big checks right that's just a prop is that yeah that's actually yeah okay never mind are you what are you thinking of like i'm just trying to picture happy gilmore when he was throwing him in the trunk of his car after every golf tournament i know that's what i'm thinking of yeah as a kid i was like damn he's got a lot of big checks to cash but yeah they're ceremonial oh god damn uh it's just still a very funny thing to me the idea of posing with a giant check like especially like for a government like it do do other politicians do that like pull out a massive check it feels like something from the world of sweepstakes like that yeah i was gonna say it feels like when you win something yeah like you win the lottery okay and that go to oh my god this is this is gonna blow your fucking mind it seems to

be you know the origin of the oversized check is this is after a cursory google search and i'm seeing it in a few places so take this with a grain of salt. But they're saying the earliest archived photograph of an oversized check was taken in Berlin in 1938. The recipient is none other than old Joey Goebbels, the minister of propaganda for the Third Reich. So awarded, again, 200,000 Deutschmarks for his service to the Nazi party. Wow. The parallels of standing with a 200k check uh you know the right does love to say hey they had some good ideas you know so that was one of them that they took yeah jesus all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about animal avatars on Zoom.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry,

Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.

From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the mask as part of my cultura podcast network on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you stream podcasts and we're back and a story crossed your desk miles That seems to have captivated your imagination. Zoom has added animal avatars. Exactly.

And, you know, I know this is not a video podcast, but just to show everybody in the show, I will be doing this segment as a panda with a hoodie on. Just waiting for that to kick in. And here we go. All right. So Zoom has updated their settings that you can now basically have a full-on animal avatar that kind of tracks your face, kind of like the Memojis do on your iPhone. Where, like, if I open my eyes big, my eyebrows go up. I can do one eyebrow. I can do the other eyebrow. Whoa.

You got all the facial expressions there, except for arm movements. That's the one eyebrow they're gonna do the other eyebrow you got all the facial expressions there except for arm movements that's the one thing they don't track and i don't know when i saw it i was just kind of like what what the fuck is this for like at this point but on the zoom blog they say this kind of avatar has helped really with pediatricians and telemedicine because then like a kid's like oh i'm getting medical advice from a horse i have personally i have nothing but disrespect for you right now as a cute animal i'm like what the fuck is this cute animal trying to tell me about the state of the modern world but what med school did you go to um i went to bovine university and others have said you know like i've pointed like you know maybe it's cool if you're not feeling like putting a bunch of energy into your appearance

for a zoom meeting then you can just put on a rabbit face or something i get the telemedicine part um but but this like the this will help zoom uh for work from home more fun part i kind of have trouble with like i can't imagine working and then everyone in the work meeting is just a cartoon animal yeah right it's i don't it would maybe make people's like criticisms a little bit easier to take if they're like hey we got to talk about your job performance and you're like you're some kind of ferret but yeah go off please like let me know i would love to see someone get fired but by like a panda oh right cowardly management who don't want to like look their staff in the eye when they have to deliver bad news like hey guys i know there's been a lot of uh speculation about what's going to happen with health benefits uh and, as we look at our budgets going into the next fiscal year,

we're going to have to pull back on some of the health benefits. Okay. Easier to take if it's a bunny. I feel like if I was having a normal business meeting with like the people, you know, like HR, for instance, or like somebody who's firing me and they were doing this, I would feel like I was getting fired by the people from Gear Next. Like the, like people who, that's the horror movie with like all the animal masks. Wait, did you guys watch that Netflix show

where like people were dating, but they were wearing, they had all the makeup of like animals and stuff and the mask? This is like that. Right. And then you had to just maybe just animals and stuff. Yes. This is like, yes. Right. And then you had to just maybe just, and just determine based on their beast face, whether or not they were worthy of love, which is funny. Cause that show, everyone was like traditionally attractive once they took off the beast face.

And I was like, ah, and I will, I'll be honest. I thought the show was like going to be like a full on dating show dating show where they would have to smash in their animal costumes, but that wasn't the case. So a bit of a different show. It just looked like a birthday cake plate after a kid has eaten an aerial birthday cake with ice cream just smeared green and blue. I don't know why I went into this visual,

but that's what it made me think of, people smashing in those caked-on makeup things. I don't know if other people feel this way, but the way we use Zoom so much, there is this undercurrent of tragedy in the sense that I'm like, yeah, Zoom has helped obviously stay connected in this pandemic era, but it almost reminds me that I'm like, yeah, Zoom has helped obviously stay connected in this pandemic era. But it almost like reminds me that by using Zoom, like there's still, it's not, we're not

quite at a place where we're like, oh yeah, let's all get back together. Well, obviously there is, there's always going to inherently be risk involved, but like, it feels like I'm mourning a different time when I use Zoom all the time. And then these feel like weird consolation prizes mapped on top of it. So I'm having like, I don't know, like I got really deep when I was just thinking about like what this meant. And I was like, do we need this? Maybe we do. Or am I just being like, I want the old way back.

I feel like this will like thus far, the only way I've encountered is you and like an inherently good-hearted person and then the idea of a pediatrician doing it to like help a child i feel like as long as it stays that like it's great but i i can just see the yeah i i just can't get the like business meeting where this is being used to like deliver you know soften the blow of uh you know people getting a pay cut like you know uh john deere board meeting and it's like they're they'll have like fun animal masks on while they're like we got a scab on these workers our coo and cfo are gonna go and like work in the you know like i feel like that's just as likely use of it and then it like becomes surreal and fucking dark like black mirror so i don't know irene what do you think when you see the d can

you can you picture yourself ever using this aside from just trying to make people laugh i can i see how funny it is because it shows you don't take anything seriously the second you go there. Yeah, I do think it's funny. I will say the other thing. I feel like it would be good in a bad way for like Zoom bombers, you know, where you show up as like, you know, that kind of thing. They're still out there. Yeah. Zoom bombers are still out there there still getting something out of it

they're just coming and being like or maybe it's like a way to like virtual organize like you know you show up at protests you're like supposed to wear like all black and like have like a ski mask on whatever just so they can't identify you but now you're just like different animals what happens when the bunny gang pulls up on zoom yeah coordinate with the same zoom avi with like the whole crew and then they're just like looking back at like just a sea of bunny faces yeah that'd be a funny prank yeah invite someone to a zoom call everyone's a bunny and then they they're all like acting like this person's strange like i think something's going on with your computer right oh i Oh. That would be funny. Just like to focus.

I feel like it'd be a perfect prank. That'd be a funny prank. Yeah, for like your older relatives to be like, I feel like my mom would lose it. Yeah. Like, she would start yelling at me in Japanese and be like, what are you doing? Like, this is stupid. Like, put your face on. I feel like that's where this would head.

Put your face on. Total confusion. So, yeah. put your face on. I feel like that's where this would head. Total confusion. So yeah. Use it to prank, I guess. And by put your face on, you mean she demands that you wear full makeup when you're. Oh yeah. Put your face on. I want to see my pretty boy.

Exactly. And she said there better be SPF in that foundation. Play around with your skin health. All right. I do want to talk about an upcoming movie or a movie project that is in development. So, you know, we got the story of the McDonald's founder was called the founder played by Michael Keaton. And he was just like basically a salesman with a hole in his soul who like just kept stuffing things down there and nothing would fill it up. He wasn't really the founder.

He like bought the original McDonald's from like two guys who were just like, Hey, we're the McDonald's brothers. We can make a good hamburger. He's like, I'm going to fucking eat you alive. And then like, we tell that guy's story.

So, uh, like on the continuum of like fast food chain founders stories that seem like they'd make for interesting movies. Colonel Sanders is like, you know, not not the worst, I guess. I also like he was a lifelong fuck up as a businessman. Like he just like he his life was a lifetime of failure into his 60s. his life was a lifetime of failure into his sixties, just kept fucking up,

kept like, you know, losing all his money, opened a gas station and nobody would come to his gas station. Cause there was a better gas station down the street. So he started selling fried chicken at his gas station to give people a reason to come to his shell station. And it caught on. It was just like a complete accident, complete luck.

Is that just, he was like, hey, they have chicken at that filling stand. Yeah. And, you know, if you tell it right, it could be a lesson in like how common, uncommon success is in America, how like failure shouldn't define you, how the thing that ends up succeeding is rarely part of the plan but i i don't have huge huge hopes because it's like an adaptation of a book by his daughter called the colonel's secret 11 herbs and a spicy daughter written by his daughter who is centering herself for some reason so not a whitewashing of uh who this colonel sanders really was right or it will be a whitewashing rather so that two two details that they really shouldn't leave out the takeout

wrote this up and pointed out like two two details that probably that they will downplay right one of them and that is that he was a racist and misogynist he donated to george wallace's campaign cheated on his wives like made fun of women's appearances like openly in public so they're gonna have to cover that shit somehow they're gonna maybe be like show a part when he's younger and it seems like innocent and they're like yeah he was kind of a kooky guy. Right. And just completely paper that over. Now, this part, I I'm assuming they will not be downplaying. He shot a guy, the aforementioned rival gas station, the owner of Barnes. The guy painted over that. Colonel Sanders went and confronted the guy. And the guy killed one of Colonel Sanders's, like, employees from the shell station who had come with him.

And so Colonel Sanders shot back. So they had a full-blown shootout. Is it his fault? No, that, like, they're probably not going to play that one. I'm just saying that's that's a that's a pretty wild detail though like i'm sure most people don't know i mean anybody who's done graffiti knows you cross someone's shit out that's yeah you will you will have to answer for that uh typically then you'll like like tag war over that shit if it's like between graffiti crews but when you said

painted over like my old graffiti kid instincts went oh shit he painted over the shit they're like that's got some explaining to do that would be amazing if in the movie like the original sign like just looks exactly like a modern like graffiti artist the shell station sign they're like wow look at that 3d detail and he's like i think that's a non-stop the other so the the screenplay uh that is being optioned is called a finger licking good story the life of colonel sanders which sounds like it might as well be a piece of branded content so yeah that that doesn't make me hopeful also the screenwriter called it an incredible story of perseverance sure and faith um that could go either way and probably not not not in a great direction is you think the 11 herbs and spices is like a thing he's like praying like there's got to

be a deus ex machina type moment right right? If, if faith is going to be part of this where he's like, God, please, what do I do? And then like, you know, fucking a piece of someone's throwing a piece of check. I don't know. I just feel like there's going to be some really dumb scene where it's like, and that's where I got the idea for 11 herbs and spices because my Bible flew open to this page. Right. Yeah. I, I don't know what, like it could, it could really go in either direction, but my guess is not a great one because they're going to also have to get KFC's sign off.

Right. That's true. But this, I feel like this reminds me of like the, that MJ documentary, you know, the Michael Jordan one where it's like really plays him up and I'm, you know,

great basketball player and all that but it's like you know he had he had some say in what he was going to leave in and what he was going to leave out right oh i wonder how yeah i wonder how much they'll leave in i'm curious they're like yeah and uh he loved george wallace and segregation forever and i guess it won't necessarily be uh authorized by kfc because like the founder certainly was not authorized by McDonald's. I'm guessing. Right. Like they weren't like, yeah.

And if they do authorize it, then buckle your ass up for the biggest piece of fucking propaganda you've ever seen. We'll probably just like stream on to be or something and won't won't come out. But I don't know. It could be cool. All right.

I mean, she tweeted one recently that said, the biggest act of love you can do for your parents is to let them tell you the same pointless story over and over.

Yeah. And that made me laugh. Oh, wow. Okay. Act surprised. Yeah. You're like, oh, yeah. This, uh-huh.

That's what happened. Uh-huh. Yep. Heard the story 20 times, but I'm just going to keep pretending that it's the first. Miles, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey.

You already know about Mad Boosties with Jack coming up, talking about the NBA. And then also 420 Day Fiance, the other pod with Sophia Alexandra, where we talk about 90 Day Fiance and Married at First Sight and all that trash reality that keeps us going. Some tweets I like. First one

is at Fried Urethra. At Fried Urethra tweeted, dudes at house parties. This song was on Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Another one is from Ellis at Ellis A. Tucci tweeted, the weed we have today would have killed a 1930s trumpet player. Which, yes, facts.

Nail, absolutely. And then this one's actually interesting, and I bring it up because it feels like I'm curious to hear both of y'all's response to this. This is from Jamie Attenberg at Jamie Atie attenberg tweeted okay very serious question here if you're a window person on an airplane please explain to me why you like it i am desperately an aisle person i'm a window person oh why would you be an aisle person it's a terrible seat okay okay before you explain i like to know okay i like that jack what about Jack, what about you? Are you an aisle or window? Uh, I'm usually doesn't really like usually now I'm in the middle.

Yeah. Because, well, it just like, it doesn't like, I just, I get on the plane cause I, I'm always flying with like a five year old and a four year old previously.

Three. Those are his assistant. That's his assistant. Yeah. I like to get them ready for the world. So they, they're just working the whole time. Right. No, but it's a fucking nightmare.

I'm about to fly again. And it's, I dread it. Is it a fight over the window? Do your kids fight over a window? Not usually. Usually they're just excited to be able to watch something on an iPad or something. But I guess when I had my druthers, I actually did the the aisle because you just easier access to get up stroll around stretch my legs out i have the bladder of like a statue like i've flown to japan without peeing on the flight before and i

stay cocooned in my window seat because i will not be disturbed because nobody has to pass no one has to transit my seat well there you go that's that's the part with the window it's like you can bother somebody else nobody's gonna bother you you're like oh i gotta get up to pee then people have to get up but nobody's asking you to move also you can sleep you can just lay your head on the window yeah that's what i got a little lean yeah i got I got a little lean. You got more, you don't have to worry about like, you know, falling asleep on somebody else. And like, right. And the thing that wakes me up is like when you're in an aisle seat and

you're asleep and somebody tries to gently wake you up and just like puts that hand on you. Oh my God. What the fuck? You're like, okay. Yep. Yep.

Yep. Yep. You got to pee. Go. No problem. No problem. And then I have to stay awake when they go to the bathroom. Cause I'm pre I'm prepping for the return and I can't relax.

Yeah. That's just me. And you can adjust the shade if you want it open, if you want it closed. The window person's in charge. Exactly. You're a light crew. Man. Leaving it open as the only person leaving it open is a real.

That's a moving move. That's psycho. That sucks. Yeah. No, window is objectively better now that you guys describe it i think the only thing like but it does it is revealing because i would much rather be bothered than bother other people i had that's what people said too i had to get up to use the bathroom with my child like conservatively 10 times in a like three hour span right so windows yeah and like it would have a while where it's at yeah that sucked that might change you

know then that's what it's interesting to see that maybe that will change me having children at some point who knows or i might just be like we will we learn to get bladder infections by holding in our pee because we will not inconvenience people. I've done that before where I'm like, I do have to pee and then I don't want to bother the person next to me. And then I just hold it in and I'm like, what am I doing this for? I'm getting a UTI because I don't want to tap somebody in an Under Armour hoodie to get up really quick. But sometimes they're also asleep, just hunch over like the tray table and then you'd have to like move them right right right that's also yeah that's also like i can also see like

fuck i'm gonna have to just this person's like asleep like a rock but typically they're pretty good spirit they know they know what comes with the territory yeah yeah. Uh, tweet I've been enjoying from Anna Dresden. Very funny writer, SNL reductress cracked for like three months. She tweeted, my grandmother's spirit is always with me watching over my shoulder as I dead eyed open an incognito window to look up reviews of the conditioner I already brought,

uh, or I already bought. Why you gotta go incognito with it? I don't know. I like that. It's just a shame. Although, maybe it's because she

expects Amazon's tracking and therefore is only going to... But either way, it's just the idea of the death of the human soul. But your grandparents are over your shoulder like, oh, Jesus. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien.
