I just saw a bunch of likes showing up and I was like, what the fuck's going on? I said, oh boy. Oh boy. I think we have to show that one some respect.

I mean, that was beautiful. Thank you so much. And also, you know, just to clarify, my problem isn't being premature ejaculation,

it's erectile dysfunction. So that was a little bit of mashup. But look, for hymns, we're still available if you want to buy some ads with us. Yeah. You know, but maybe not. Or Roman. Whoever. Whoever.

You know, just don't be problematic. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious comedian and podcast host and beautiful singer I just found out before we started rolling. The first time even. Jackie Johnson. Thank you for having me back. Tell them the first time, even. Jackie Johnson! Thank you for having me back! Yeah, it's so good to have you. I was here in September. Yeah, you were.

And now you're back. So much has changed. My hair has gotten way longer, right? Looks great. Yeah, thank you. What are you using? What's your secret? Oh, honey.

Honey? First of all, I host a show called Natch Butte. All about beauty, skincare, makeup, self-care. We talk about hair a lot, but Jonathan Van Ness was on Natch Butte. Oh, shit. And really changed my life. Oh, really? Basically, I don't wash my hair as much. Huh.

I sleep on a satin pillowcase. I sleep with my hair on top of my head in a satin scrunchie at night to keep the heat from your body off your hair. Wow. I started taking probiotics. Huh. And all the combination of those things, my hair off your hair. Wow. I started taking probiotics. Huh. And all the combination of those things, my hair grows so fast.

Wow. And my hair never grew. It's like that hair that just never grows. Right, right, right. But honey, she's got growth. Yeah, I was about to say, I was like. She's got growth. Yeah, she does.

I think she has a 20-inch Remy virgin in, and I was like, no, that's all her. No, this is all me. No Remys. No Rem's apply. Yes. Now not having like having hair that grew slow was a challenge

that you wanted to deal with because that would be that would just the way I would view that is saving money on haircuts and coloring. Right. Because if I'm being honest the grays are coming for me. Yeah. So that is part of it. It's my cross to bear now. But it's fun to have growth.

Always. So why not? Change up that look. And also, if Jonathan Van Ness is out here giving you the secrets. Yeah, just do it. You're going to experiment with that. Yes, of course. Well, I'm going out to get my satin pillowcase immediately after this recording.

Is that what it was? Satin? Yes. Well, it's supposed to be silk, but I don't use silk. So satin's fine. Because you're vegan?? Satin? Yes. Well, it's supposed to be silk, but I don't use silk, so satin's fine. Because you're vegan? Yes. There you go.

Yes, honey. So does silk kill any animals? No, but it's a product of an animal. They boil them alive. Oh, they boil them alive? Oh. And that kills them? I mean, they're bugs.

Right. It's just, where do you draw the line? I don't know. I'm doing my fucking best. Even though some people are coming down trying to say oysters are vegan since they have a more sensual nervous system? Right. I mean, I just am not a fan of them, really.

Yeah, that's fine. No, I'm just curious. Maybe I should just try one. I used to make them when I worked at a Cajun restaurant. I would prepare them, and they just always grossed me out. Like shuck them or fry them or whatever? Yeah, I would pour the salt on them and prepare them and put them on the little ice trays and shit.

Maybe I should just eat one and see. What if it's like the best thing I've ever eaten? You know what's good? If you don't like them on the half shell, grill them up. Right. And just put a little barbecue sauce on there. Or a little, what I like to do, I mix sriracha, butter, and lime juice. I know you don't eat butter, so we can figure out some other hack.

We got a lot of alternatives. Yeah, a lot of alternatives. And then put that on when the shell opens up, drop that in there, and then. I like any food that answers the question, what if the Arctic Ocean came in your mouth? Yeah. That's what I feel like oysters are. You've been to the Arctic much? Oh, yeah.

No, I was thinking of a cold ocean. I could have said the Pacific, but... I was going to say, I'm like, damn. Aren't they all cold now? Yeah, I know. Unless you're by the equator, a little warmer, you get the little tropical water climates. Yeah, but I mean, we all know that global warming is bullshit, right? Okay. No?

Yeah, no, it is bullshit. Do I have that backwards? Oh, okay. Yeah, whatever. We'll talk off mic. We'll figure it out. All right. Jackie, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we are going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about. Miles, I love this first headline. Why don't you read it since you wrote it? I mean, this is a phrase that's used a lot in black media when talking about white people, but the caucasity of it all. Indeed. Taylor Swift, man. I like her.

I don't have anything against her, but she really tried something at the Billboard Music Awards that the internet was like, I'm sorry, Taylor, this is not it. This is not happening. This isn't it. She tried her best to... Did you watch the performance? Once I saw that little clip, I was like, I am interested.

Because when you see a drumline and a pop star, you think, oh, Beechella. Right. And it was not that. line and a pop star, you think, oh, Beechella. Right. And it was not that. But hey, look, you know, I'm not here to drag her. I'm saying, look, you tried it. But unfortunately, you did not the hottest version of the performance you could have done. Right.

So it was an homage, I'm sure, is how she would describe it. Sure. Yes, yes. I hope so. That's what I would think of it as. Yeah. The Scientology slave yacht is being quarantined. We'll talk about that. That's a real thing. By the way, with Scientology, you say something is a slave yacht, and that's real, just literally. William Barr didn't show up to the House Judiciary Committee hearing, so we're going to talk about that and how people are responding.

We're going to ask the question, hey, millennial, want to buy some home? And the answer won't surprise you. We're going to talk about how the Daily Zeitgeist has claimed another scalp. Stephen Moore has withdrawn his name from consideration to be Fed nominee. We're going to look at the wonderful world of Jacob Wohl. Shout out to the teachers of North Carolina, South Carolina, who are on strike, and Amazon's latest media venture. And we will close out talking about an upcoming movie that is shockingly, it's shocking that it's already here. The Peso.

Yeah. And just the wildest magazine story I've read in a long time. New York Magazine's cover story about basically a real living active supervillain who has the power to like brainwash people. It's pretty crazy. But first, Jackie, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, first I'd like to say I was back here in September and I mentioned that I was looking up things to help with my plants because I was having issues with some of my house plants.

Oh, yeah. All right. And one of y'all's listeners, Melissa, sent me a product. So I just wanted to shout out to her real quick. Her Instagram is wormyqueen, and her company is called Let It Rot. Yeah. So letitrot.org. Melissa is my wormy queen.

Yes. We stan a wormy queen. Me too. And she sent me some worm poop in a bag. What's worm poop? It fertilizes your plants. I know, but I didn't even know that was some shit you could buy. I'm telling you. And she sent me some worm poop in a bag. What's worm poop? It fertilizes your plants. I know, but I didn't even know that was some shit you could buy. I'm telling you, but she-

Like, how do you cultivate worm shit? She does. She has a whole system. Yeah, you can farm worms. There's people- No, but I'm just thinking, look, in my dumb ass mind, it's like, okay, go to the toilet. Right. And they're like, but don't flush it.

You go to the worm toilets. And then you keep collecting it. Right. It's like a process. It's a litter box. It's like a warm litter box. And then you scoop it. But anyway, I just wanted to say that real quick.

But. She's not just my listener. She's our listener. Oh, wow. I'm going to leave now. Yeah. Yeah. Can you.

We need to add a police siren. Yeah. So. That was terrible. Although, actually, whenever I hear that in podcasts, it's very jarring when you're driving. Yes. Especially as a person of color, so maybe not. Yeah.

I don't like weird non-diegetic sounds. Yeah. Okay, my search history of late, Blink-182 set list. Okay. What's going on? Well... You're just looking back at some all-time great concerts? I think that phrase just really sums me up as a person.

Number one, I'm super uptight, so I like to know what I'm getting into before a concert. So I'm like, okay, what's going to be the encore? Do I need to leave early? I like to know what's coming. But I just sobblingly do on Saturday, play at the beach. Okay. The Back to the Beach Fest in Huntington Beach. Okay.

And I Googled the set list and it wasn't up because this was an off show. You know, they didn't have like a planned set list. I was like, what are they going to play? Right. They played Enema of the State

front to back. Oh, shit. And it was awesome. Damn, that lineup, the used gold finger. Oh, yeah, baby. Real big fish. I'm telling you, it was fun.

The Aquabats? Yeah. Damn, I should have been there. Yeah, it was super fun. Save Ferris? Wow. It was really, really great. Okay, back to the beach.

That's right. I see you back to the beach. So in your mind, if you hadn't known the set list, what's the anxiety that you get? I mean, I saw them in November when they were in Vegas for their residency, and they played a lot of their new stuff, and I'd say the hits. And so I assumed that's what they would do and I was just kind of curious if they were gonna pull something crazy or if they were gonna go with just their rehearsed set list from their Vegas show got you so they blew my damn mind when they started up

playing don't leave me yeah you know like uh they played Enema of the State all the way through does Matt Skiba play with them yes from Alkalinekaline Trio? Yes. Yeah. So they're, what, two-thirds of the original? Yes. Okay. Yeah, Tom is gone. He's on a UFO somewhere. Yes. Well, he bankrupted his Space Academy, so yeah.

Yeah, you know, listen, Tom, you'll always be my boy, but they've parted ways, and I respect that, you know? Right. Matt Skiba does great. Yeah. I don't know any of these songs or people's names other than- Dude, Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio, bro? Oh, right.

Hell yeah. Of course. My bad. But anyway, if you sliced me open right now, pop punk would flow out of me. There you go. And flood this beautiful table. All right. So what happens when Aliens Exist happens?

Matz Kiba sang it, which felt a little uncomfortable, if I'm being honest. I was like, this is Tom's... Feels like a little bit of a transgression. Yes, it did. That did kind of bother me. Yeah. But no, he sings all the Tom songs. Okay, gotcha.

Which is interesting. But he doesn't do like a Tom impression, which I kind of wish he did. Yeah, especially like when you're hearing the band, you kind of want something similar. Right. Because then it starts sounding like a cover band. Right. With just Travis and similar. Right. Because then it starts sounding like a cover band. Right. With just Travis and Mark. Right.

Do you ever take advantage of the fact that you know the set list ahead of time and like the second the first note, like string is plucked, you shout out the name of the song? I don't. Like you're a super fan. I don't do that, but it's because I'm not an asshole. Right. But there's so many concert assholes. Oh my God.

That's all it is now. This guy was filming the whole thing on his phone and I was like, you're never going to fucking watch that. Right. But there's so many concert assholes. That's all it is now. This guy was filming the whole thing on his phone and I was like, you're never gonna fucking watch that. Put the phone down. Enjoy yourself.

I always wonder about people who will record the whole show. I'm like, are you with your little blown out microphone never gonna like put, just go,

oh man, yeah, I remember that. I think that's like an existential, like they're having a philosophical issue with existence where they're like, I must capture this thing. Yeah, I think it's an unwillingness

to acknowledge the transience of life. For 100%. Yeah, exactly. But it's also like this guy was putting it on his Insta story, and I'm like, nine people are going to watch this, dude. Put the phone down and listen to Matt Skiba sing Aliens Exist. How else is he going to commodify something that he's enjoying? I know, right?

Well, that was me when I saw 311 and motherfucking Third Eye Blind and shit at that wacky-ass concert last year. I was posting all that shit. Did every band have a three in the name? Almost. Going to that concert's all about flexing. I mean, that's... You just go there to Pilots, Third Eye Blind, fucking Everclear.

Oh, the singer, bro. Does he have cancer? From Everclear? Yeah, I think Art said he was diagnosed with cancer. I love them. I saw them last year. They did so

much for the Afterglow. Oh no, MS. No, he said he has MS. Oh, shit. Man, yeah. We love you, Art. Shout out to Art. What is something you think is overrated, Jackie? Overrated? I have bath bombs. Bath bombs. Y'all know about bath bombs?

Y'all fucks with those bath bombs? Look across you, Super Producer Anna Hosnia, the bath bomber over here. The bath bomber. Bath bombs, for people who don't know, they're round. Well, they don't have to be round, but they're made of oils and yummy things, and you drop them into your bath, and they make colors and foam, and they moisturize your body, and they smell nice.

And are you meant to soak in it? You're supposed to soak in it and enjoy yourself. It looks like a cake pop kind of. Yes. Yeah, right. They're pretty expensive. Does not taste like one, by the way. But my thing is, they're supposed to be relaxing, right?

Right. But once you drain the water, your bathtub has a ring of complete garbage going around it. Oily, gross, like little petals and like your dirty skin cells. A layer on your fucking bath. And I'm like, this was supposed to relax me and now I gotta scrub this bathtub out on my hands and knees. How much is a bomb? I mean, they're like six bucks, seven bucks, ten bucks. It depends

on where you get them. But I'm like, you know what? This was not relaxing. I gotta call a damn maid. If it's all, like has all these oils and shit in it, when you're done do you then have to rinse yourself off again? Or can you just pull up straight out of the bathtub? I think you could pull

straight out. You're gonna be real slippery though. And then the bath is slippery. So if you don't tell anybody and then they get in, they could fall

and sue your ass. Bath moms, you're not relaxing. So what do you use? I mean, to get your bath on. Well, I've been doing

a coffee scrub lately. That's been exciting. Coffee grounds? Yeah. Just scrubbing it on your body? Well, there's other things mixed in. But yeah, a coffee scrub. I've been using this Japanese body brush.

Okay. I've been trying to like, because I feel like I'm all about the neck up. As a woman in my 30s, neck up. Neck up. But now I'm trying to focus more on the skin everywhere else. Kind of even it out. Give it more love. There you go. So just cream up. As I said last time I was here, everybody wears sunscreen

every day. Neck up, cream up. Cream up, honey. Neck down, cream up. Yes. Neck down, cream up. I think that's a country song. What is something you think is underrated? Washing your hands properly. Oh.

Is underrated. Yes. Okay. I feel as a society, nobody is washing their hands long enough because I'm in the bathrooms. I see. Everybody go on YouTube and type in how to wash your hands because no one's doing it right. You just get them wet, put some soap on it, get them wet enough to get the soap off and walk out, right?

No, Jack. What you do is you get up, you're done doing your business on the toilet, you turn the sink on, you wait for whatever the time you think the people outside the bathroom believe it takes for you to actually wash your hands, turn the water off, and then just kind of go like this on the way out so they think you washed your hands. That's how you do it. Okay. Right?

You joke, but that's how everyone probably does it. We must wash our hands better. Cold and flus are at an all-time high. We're all worried about getting all these things going around. That's what I'm saying. Everybody just be more careful

and take more time to wash your hands properly. Look it up. I'm telling you not to brag. I haven't gotten sick in two years. I haven't gotten a cold. I haven't gotten a flu. Hell yeah. And I attribute it to the fact that I wash my hands properly.

Okay, give us some pointers. Like I know that you're supposed to kind of get high up your wrist. Do it for the length of happy birthday to you or something. Twice. Sing happy birthday to you twice. The whole motherfucking song?

Yes. Out loud at the top of your lungs or it doesn't work. And sort of like in a Wreath of Franklin version. happy birthday to you or something? Twice. Sing happy birthday to you twice. The whole motherfucking song? Yes. Out loud at the top of your lungs. Of course. It doesn't work. And sort of like an Aretha Franklin version. Like really draw it out. Really. Especially that last part.

She's really milking this happy birthday to you. P. Yeah. Exactly. Birthday to you. Yeah, shit. And the thing I fuck up, I don't get really high up my arms.

But the one thing I did pick up is don't get really high up my arms. Right. But the one thing I did pick up is when I used to be at the orthodontist, I saw how my orthodontist would wash his hands. Yeah. And he would always rub his fingertips like this. And I was like, as a kid, because I just, you know,

you kind of do like the just rub your palms together type shit like that. And I was like, how come you do this? He's like, because it's your fingertips and that's you touch everything with these. And he's like, really? And I was like, oh, shit. Right. And I know this sounds like germophobia, but you got to get underneath your fingertips, and you touch everything with these. And he's like, really? And I was like, oh, shit. Right.

And I know this sounds like germophobia, but you've got to get underneath your nails, your nail beds, between your fingers. If you have jewelry on, in between your rings. Twist your rings. Get those germs out. Rinse, rinse, rinse, baby. Rinse. Someone should make a track that you play to wash your hands.

The perfect amount of time The perfect time Yeah The timer app could be A lot more lit We're trying to We're trying to sell a new product Okay

You know what I mean Yeah come on Jackie got the voice Okay I'm so down That's a great idea Yeah Wash your hands now baby

We could do a different Notable person Whose birthday it is each day Oh shit Okay And that That could be an app. Yeah.

All right. Well, everybody write that down. So then for today's- Or nobody write it down. It would be, God, there's no one with good- Oh, it's James Brown's birthday. Oh, there you go. And you would say it like James Brown.

What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? Okay. This is, again, an attribute specific. Everybody suffers from chapped lips. What are we told? How are we told to solve this? Lick them.

We put lip balm on. No, that makes it worse. It does? Shit. But here's what I'll tell y'all. Fucked. Lip balm doesn't do shit. Really?

The only way to get your lips unchapped is to stop putting lip balm on. Really? Yes. Lip balm trains your lips to be more chapped, so you keep using it. It supplies things that your body isn't naturally producing, right? So if you want to stop having chapped lips, leave your lips to fuck alone. So how do you keep, then how do you get them shits past chapped?

You leave them alone. You suffer. You sit there and just say, my lips hurt, they're burning, and slowly but surely, they will heal themselves. Really? Yes.

I've done so many experiments. Man, I, because as a kid, I would always, I would be that kid with like the chap ring and all that shit, because I would always be like sucking on my top lip because I'm like, shit burns. But how chap were your lips all the time? It would come in waves.

Right. And the winter and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then it would really fuck me up. Right. But then I thought, but that's true because the second the shit starts wearing off. You put more. It immediately comes back.

You're like, oh, fuck. I'm telling you. I've got a fuse in it. Put the lip balm down. So what, there's a natural healing process that will occur? I just think let your body do its thing. Sometimes you don't need to intervene. But you should be drinking more water.

That's probably what it's there. And at night, I'm okay with putting an oil on. But fuck lip balm. Oh, so then use coconut oil or some shit. If you're going to fuck around, you need to just get a little quick moisturizer in there. Yes, at night. But you got to get off it. How many people, we all know that guy with the chapstick that literally every five minutes

puts that chapstick on. He's got a problem. He needs to. Right. It's an addiction. Yes, but it's the product. The product is doing it on purpose. You know what I mean?

Right. My little home remedy is I use other people's lip moisture. I just do a lot of kissing. Cute. Check out husband of the year over here. Gross. Cold and blue season. In the winter months, that's why I miss a lot of shows.

I'm not going to make it in again. Yeah, yeah. I don't blame you. My lips are dry. Somebody's lips are chapped. You both have great lips, though. Do y'all use lip balms? I try and drink water.

Yes. Not at all. That's what I'm saying. Never have. I do in the winter, man, because sometimes just fuck my shit. But then that is a good point because it's weird. You do become dependent. So I think I'm going to switch to coconut oil because I have a shitload of that in my

house and I've been using that more on my body. Coconut oil is like that. People are using that for everything now, right? I mean, everything. Yeah. I mean, everything. You know what I mean? You know what I mean, husband of the year?

No, I don't get it. Anyways, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back with Taylor Swift. We'll be right back with Taylor Swift.

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 braggadocious. 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. Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And let's talk aboutlor swift's performance yeah you know what do you think about her new single just in general this me song wow i like panic at disco yeah but i'm not really i

don't care it's like whatever i i've ceased to get angry by pop music i'm like i'm at that age where i'm like you know let's whatever the fuck you want, man. I think that's healthy. Yeah, because I think from doing this show too, I have a million things I can be angry about or upset by or offended by. And so I remember before, I used to have a real hard line against Taylor.

I'm like, man, fuck Taylor Swift. I don't give a shit. But now I'm just like, yeah, whatever. Try and do Bechella 2.0. Do your thing. Still ends with I don't give a shit. But now I'm just like, yeah, whatever. Try and do Bechella 2.0. Do your thing. Still ends with I don't give a shit. I'm like, I don't care. I'm just not like, how could she think

after that Netflix special that she could get out there on stage with her weird Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo colored outfit on or whatever that pink is. What's that one bottle? Pepto Bismol.

Yeah, Pepto Bismol. Yeah, I'm fucking up. I see you. Anyway, so, yeah, look, you know, drumline, cool. They were playing, they were doing their thing

and not even close to as funky as the buzz from Bechella's shit. But, you know, I think, look, is it, is it an homage?

Is it her being like planning this for months and then the thing comes out and she's like, oh, I'm going to look fucking dumb out there because Beyonce shit just came back to remind people about this drumline aesthetic. But, you know, it was more fun to see the beehive come out and just be like, how dare she? She just got ripped up on social media. Oh, yeah.

People were calling it Mayochella. I think she did it on purpose to get people to tweet about it. Right. Everything is contrived. She does seem like she's trolling a little bit. It's like, oh, I know what I'll do. I'll do something and then everybody will talk about it. And then my album's coming out and everybody's going to want to hear the song.

I mean, it's all part of the machine. Yeah. And she's got a fucking machine behind her. She sure does. I think the song's good. I like it. What? Really?

I actually like the video. Somebody showed it to me and they were like, this is so offensive. And I was like, it's like so extra everything that I don't mind it. I mean, it's cute. It's a cute song. Yeah. It's weird because I'm just such a purist when it comes to Taylor Swift. Like, I love a country Taylor.

Okay. Travis McGraw. I love the Tim McGraw era. Tim McGraw, yeah. Was that the song? When you see Tim McGraw, I hope you hear that favorite song. Wow. See?

Wow. Do you see, Zeitgang? See how terrible her voice was? Yeah. And why you keep tuning into our show to hear our beautiful voice. She's right in my range yeah oh right but i love a country taylor and i you know when she got all spooky with her like look what you made me do it's like i appreciate a woman you know evolving with age and experience

but this was an interesting turn the like cheesy happy taylor right you know well that's overly cheesy but just in the in the pop music playbook of rolling out an album, you're single. This has got to hit fucking every dimension. You know what I mean? It's got to be broad as possible. Right.

Well, this does that. To lure them in, and then you're like, okay, now, buy the fucking album. And maybe only three songs are for you, but whatever. And this is like a genre of music that I now have to be into,

which is like just the happy song that's for everyone from age like one to 90. You know that Justin Timberlake, the kiss at the village? Yes. It's like that. That's my son's favorite song. Yes, of course. My three-year-old. And Happy by Pharrell.

And Happy. And like this fits right in there. And there are a lot of songs that try to do that. This will be a wedding song. People are going to fucking grind to this. It's going to be in bar mitzvah videos, bat mitzvah videos. That's right. Quinceañeras maybe.

That Look What You Made Me Do song was terrible. Look What You Made Me Do. I liked the Reputation album a lot. Did you? Yeah. Wow. I didn't even listen to it all the way through. I have no opinion.

So I'm just like, cool, man. Look, Taylor's for some people. Right. Well, I am a woman in her 30s who's white. So Taylor is my, I'm her target demo. Right, right, right. So I can appreciate

a lot of her stuff. She's about to be 32 also, right? Oh, honey. She's approaching 30. That's right, because she's 1989. Yeah. Yes.

Take that. It happens to the best of us, honey. Welcome, Taylor. Welcome, girl. Hey, girl. Cream up. Neck down. You better wear your sunscreen, Taylor. Welcome, girl. Hey, girl, cream up, neck down. You better wear your sunscreen, Taylor.

Better put on every fucking day. Let's talk about Xenu's measles yacht. Yeah. They were great at Coachella. Yes. Yes. They were great. They were right after Major Lazer.

A cruise ship called the Freewinds that is owned by Scientology. It's currently docked in St. Lucia with its passengers and crew being quarantined. Yeah. Quarantined because one of the crew was diagnosed with measles. Oh. So let's talk about who the crew is on this. Right. Because crew kind of suggests a paying job.

Yeah, you're like, oh, wow, probably got like seasoned people who work yacht season. Nope. Yeah, they probably have good benefits. Yeah. So these are people who signed a billion-year contract to be part of the Sea Org, oftentimes when they're younger than 18, and they work 365 days a year for little or no pay doing things like shining Tom Cruise's motorcycle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And cleaning this ship.

Yeah, but guess what, man? They're becoming more clear every day. Yeah. And while you toil in this weird Earth dimension, I'm hanging out with dreadlocked aliens. Right. From Battlefield Earth.

Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, the Sea Org is running that ship. And, you know, when you kind of look at the culture around Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard's distaste for acknowledged science, you know, the church doesn't have a stance on vaccines. Right. So, I think we know where this is going. A lot of people in Scientology happen to also be anti-vaxxers. So it doesn't surprise me that their little ship of fools turns into a possible contagion.

Maybe these two problems take care of themselves. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, apparently, like, there were people speculating that Scientology was really trying to cover this up. Because they were just in Curacao, I think, before. And in that port, they had found out that the crew member had measles. But they're usually so transparent and cool about everything. Yeah, so. How do you get on this yacht?

Like, is it like a vacation yacht? It's like for the high, high, higher ups. David Miscavige, Tom Cruise. Like the level eights? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like OT3s. Yeah, that was what it was.

I was trying to remember how it worked. Yeah, operating fee even. Wow. So no SPs allowed? Oh, no. Yeah. Definitely no squirrels either. SPs, no need to apply.

No squirrels, no SPs, no nothing. I'm surprised Tom Cruise even needs a yacht because can't he just like walk above the water? Like doesn't, isn't that how OT3? He's not going to be caught on that broke boy yacht with them. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I think he's, cause he's even higher than the highest.

You know what I mean? So do your thing, Tom. Let's talk about William Barr. I know you miss your daughter. William Barr. Yeah. Had a, had a interesting showing with the Senate yesterday. The Republicans were out here caving for him, just being like, case closed.

Case closed. This is a smear campaign. Yes. And then the real thing we need to investigate is Hillary Clinton. They're still on Hillary Clinton, man. They still love to bring her name up. They need a new angle. She is an unemployed senior citizen. love to bring her name up. They need a new angle. She is a

unemployed senior citizen. Yeah. Living her best life. Yeah. No, she's fine, but just let her read her paperbacks and retire, hang out with her grandkids. And Pete Davidson. I don't know if you saw that photo. No. We'll talk about that later. Okay. They're hanging

out? Didn't he get a tattoo of her? Yes. But Kamala came for him and i think that left a bad taste in his mouth well he had always been saying i'm not gonna come to the house because you're gonna make lawyers talk to me and this has never happened which is a lie uh the republicans on the committee were also like it's unprecedented i've never like it's like what are you talking about you had about? You had a lawyer cross examine Christine Blasey Ford. So don't act like this is some new shit. This is totally appropriate. And there's nothing untoward about this aside from having counsel there to actually

give like a proper record and effective line of questioning. And the Republicans are welcome to use their counsel as well to ask Bill Barr some questions. So he was shook. And yes, when you look back yesterday, we hadn't quite seen what Kamala, what she did with her time. But she shook the man down and basically had him admit that he had not even looked at any of the underlying evidence of the Mueller report that he gave one of the worst answers when she asked just directly. Has anyone at the White House or the president himself asked you or suggested that you investigate something or someone? Suggested.

He's like, can you repeat the – Right. It was bad. Cory Booker was trying to not laugh. Sir? Yeah. He just like went quiet. He's like, they talked about it.

She's like, okay, inferred. Right. Well, I don't know, suggested? Implied? I'm just trying to think of – and then she was moving on to the next question. He was like, you know, I mean, she was like, sir, I'm asking questions here. She's so good at being a cop. She is a cop, which is my favorite thing for somebody to be, but she is good at it.

She makes it look easy. Yeah. And it's such a skill. And especially with that black woman, sort of of iron steely look, because she just had them bored eyes when he was trying to be like, oh, she's like, mm-hmm. Oh, so you don't know? Okay, next question. Bored eyes, that's really good.

Yeah. That is exactly right. So then today, clearly he said he wasn't going to show up because he doesn't want to talk to legal counsel. Obviously, there's threats of a subpoena, but I mean, I don't know. That's just going to be a thing that's probably going to play out in the court and not necessarily mean instant results. So, Jerry Nadler

took the time to just read off a list of William Barr's greatest failures as Attorney General. And Steve Cohen from the great state of Tennessee. It's a state, right? It's not a common one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know, man. He came in and even did... He brought in a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and like a ceramic

figurine of a rooster. Not even Tennessee Fried Chicken. Yeah. Kentucky. I know. That's how much he was trying to send to Memphis. He could have sent Memphis. Anyway, he, then, I don't know, I guess the joke was like, see, he's chicken.

Oh. So, yeah, you know how these Democrats be owning them with these dad jokes such a good joke yeah it's uh cool then like so it was it was over very quickly uh you know i think people again just be on the lookout man because uh william barr he needs to have his ass impeached or he needs to resign because that i mean good lord he Lord, he's just out. He has no credibility. He is such an aggressive liar. And after everything that happened yesterday, I mean, the GOP, come on, man. Like there's got to be at least one of you who's like, yeah, that was a bad look.

Nope. Except for Chris Wallace on Fox News. He is the one person who seems to like still have a wormhole through to the alternate dimension that the right knows as reality. Because he seems to, every once in a while, just be like, wait a second. Yeah, sometimes he'll do some real Fox news, have some real Foxy takes.

Right. But this time, he warned the viewers on Fox that the opinion people, some even on this network, are trying to be disingenuous about what is going on here. And so it was interesting to see Chris Wallace kind of be like, yo, please only listen to some of us, maybe. But again, we'll see what happens.

I mean, the whole game plan of the White House at this point is just to like, let's not cooperate to the point that we have to go to court and we'll just drag this out. And maybe by the time anything happens, we'll move on to the next scandal. I have a question for you both. So I said if you sliced me open, pop punk would flow out. If we sliced open William Barr, what do we think would be inside? Oh, God, God, God, let me really think about this.

I think it would be like itchy 70s couch filling. Like asbestos. Right. You know? Something that gives you cancer. Definitely. I'm trying to think. I'm looking at him and if I do that... Take a slice. Because he kind of looks like a corrupted Teddy Ruxpin type.

Which would probably have that asbestos inside. I think like if you ever bought a bucket of Toll House cookie dough and you left that in the sun for three weeks and then you burped it and took a hint of that. It's like that rotting cookie dough I feel like would be spilling out. It would just be like gaseous.

It would just be. See, what I'm thinking is a gas that would come out. Because he's all hot air this guy. Drop the bomb, will you Dan? Yeah, see, what I'm thinking is a gas. Yeah. Because he's all hot air, this guy. Yeah. Hey. Drop the bomb, will you, Dan? I think it'd just be pure fried chicken in there. Am I right, guys?

Yeah. He's a chicken, man. He's a... Okay. All right. Yeah. Let's talk about it. That didn't go well.

I liked it. I did, too. Yeah, take that. Thank you. Good one. In your face, bar. Now we won't have to impeach too. Yeah, take that. Thank you. Good one. In your face, Barr. Now we won't have to impeach him. He'll just resign.

I'd be so ashamed after that tone that just happened on this podcast you'll never listen to. So guys, in these United States of America, somebody took a look at how much you have to make salary-wise to be a home owner. And it's pretty wild. Yeah. I mean, look, home prices are rising. Yep.

And mortgage rates are also hitting seven-year highs. Right. So it's very hard to buy a home right now especially when you're a younger person because we are in a fuck we don't know what the fuck was going on uh and people are many people across the country are underpaid uh and so home ownership is becoming a thing that's slowly becoming more and more out of reach uh but yeah at visual capitalists they just made a like sort of a chart of like the major metropolitan areas in the country to show what kind of salary you would need to even buy a home. And it's depressing.

So let's just go from the top. Number one, San Jose, median home price, 1.2 million. Your monthly payment for your mortgage payment, $5,900. So you would need a salary of slightly over a quarter of a million dollars to be a homeowner in San Jose. That's median. Yes, that's median. I mean, that's how much money I make, so that's fine.

Yeah, you're doing great. San Francisco, you need to make about $198,000. San Diego, $131,000. L.A., $123,000. Then it's like, so once you get out of California, then it drops. 106, Boston, 105, New York City,'s like, so once you get out of California, then it drops 106, Boston, 105, New York City, et cetera, et cetera. But the thing that like the cheapest metro areas, number one, Pittsburgh.

Salary needed, 37,000. With a monthly payment, $878. I'm buying my ticket today. I'll see y'all there. Yo, Pittsburgh's I gang. Yo, let's do it, baby. Because I want to go to Primanti Brothers and get a sandwich. And I'll just eat that every day.

And I will live in Pittsburgh. Fuck it. I'm black and yellow. Literally black and Japanese. So let's do this. Black and yellow. And then what? Cleveland, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Indianapolis, Louisville.

Those are both great towns, man. Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Great towns. Great food. What's that pork sandwich in Cleveland? I don't know't know man i know there's one in that market there i see i watch so much like traveling around the u.s things like i know cities by like this shit i would eat there i'm like oh cincinnati diver driving what is it diners driving and dives like oh i've seen oh skyline chili gold star chili yeah yeah i was gonna saint louis lion's choice where should i

buy a house what What's Vegas like? I feel like I could fuck with that life. Oh, Vegas. Yeah. 61,000. That's cheap, right?

I mean, compared to here, that's not what that house costs. No, but that's what you're, okay. That sounds good. I could handle that.

Austin is 79,000. Uh, not bad. 49,000. Miami is 79. One question I used to have is like, who's living on in all the homes if people are paying this much and we found out in a we covered in a past episode about how a lot of like

hedge funds and banks are buying up the houses and just like renting them out right because uh or you know like even uh chinese companies are buying up a lot of the real estate because you know they were when the economy shit the bed, like the only people who got hooked up were giant banks and hedge funds and corporations. So all the- They entered a deflated market. We're like, let's scoop up all these homes.

And you know what else? Airbnb is ruining the housing market as well. Because people are keeping their apartments and illegally subletting them on Airbnb and therefore creating a housing crisis. And there's less apartments open, so then they raise the rent more because nobody's moving in and out and they want those damn deposits!

There you go. I'm over all that. You're telling me, sister, but luckily you got that quarter of a million dollar income. That's right. So I can Airbnb anywhere. All right. Stephen Moore, gone.

Gone. He gone. Thank you, Zeitgang. Yes. We came together. We covered his hot takes. Oh, God. On the NCAA tournament being too...

Woman-y? Woman-y, yeah. And then making jokes about the Obamas and... About a black family being kicked out of public. Yeah, just like straight up racist jokes. Which is even funny when he's like, I thought that the public, I think that's funny. So like, oh, so what's funny to you

are destitute people or people without means who need public housing. The idea of them being kicked out is funny to you, even if it's not about the Obamas, like that as a concept is funny. Yeah. He opened a speech by retelling a racist joke he heard. And it's like, I really love that.

And even the audience is like, ugh, boy. Yeah. Did they not have somebody proofread before they go out there? No. It's like Taylor with his drum line. It's like, did you not clear this with anyone? Has anyone had their eyes open the last month? Did anyone see the people coming in and out with the drums?

Okay. Cool, cool. Okay. Like actual corporations and I think like most political places and political organizations like go like do a deep fact checking on or a deep like vetting process. Not at this point because it's all swamp ahead baby right you know what i mean right now with this not with the trump administration no no no no because they can't beggars can't be choosers and like everybody wants to work every person who's

getting nominated for like a like a position that's like of any significance they all have ties to like lobbying or the industry that this body used to regulate or something. So it's just they don't care. I mean, fucking Herman Cain. We already knew he was trash from the get go. Yeah. So but I guess at this point, now that the Overton window is completely blown up, they'll just sneak in someone else who's just not as bad. So comparatively, they're like, well, it wasn't Stephen Moore, but just equally as unqualified and wholly unfit to do it. Right.

Who knows? This was probably all part of the plan. Yeah. All right. And then Jacob Wall just talking about other right wing nonsense. Fuckery. Fuckery. Come on.

Fuckery. So first we have the Pete Buttigieg trap that he tried to set where not really a trap, just he was trying to pay gay Republicans to lie and say that Pete Buttigieg trap that he tried to set where not really a trap just he was trying to pay gay Republicans to lie and say that Pete Buttigieg sexually assaulted or harassed them yeah I don't even know if some were even gay but I think there were going after them and even just like anyone to be like hey

will anyone willing to just say Pete Buttigieg assaulted them right and the fucking way they were trying to sell people was like look man once you come out with your story then all the other people will come out of the woodwork too that's just how it works rather than like not thinking like because they must operate in a world where they truly believe that accusers of uh like anyone who's accusing somebody of assault is just lying right so they're like yeah that's the game you lie about it and then other people will lie too to kind of create this wave and And it's not that actual people are victims of anything.

That like triggered me. I can't. That's too much. Yeah, no. And I'm sorry to even say something like that, but that's really the- It's so dark. That's the logic I think is being applied

because it's so fucking like, it's devoid of any kind of reason or logic or rooted in reality that simply the idea is like, yeah, once you do it, the other people just come out, baby. Right. It's either that or they are just, they can't conceive of a man

who hasn't committed like serial sexual assault. And they're like, yeah, well, we'll just find the people who he's sexually assaulted, obviously. He can't fuck with my boy Pete. Yeah. Like that really. He seems clean as a whistle.

Y'all know he's going to be in LA next week, right? Oh, is he? What's he peddling? He has fundraisers. A lot of fundraisers. Google it, sweetie. He's going to be here. Everybody's fundraising.

Yes. But another Daily Beast report, Daily Beast, I think, uncovered the first story. And they also then uncovered a pitch he made to investors in the spring on a scheme to use fraudulent news stories to manipulate political betting markets. So basically, he would... And he claimed... Fucking graft kings. He would do this. He claimed the way he would do this would be to quote,

and this is quoting him, make shit up to profit from bets on political races. He just said, yeah, we'll make shit up. So it's like they're just not they're not good at this. Wow. They're not even trying to not be the bad guy. It reminds me of the guy from the Fyre Fest guy. Yeah, right. Right.

Just would make shit up and lie. But I feel like he got to points where maybe for a couple hours each day, he believed his own bullshit. Whereas these guys, I think, are just like, yeah, we're evil. We're evil, bro. Like high-fiving each other and like, you know. I mean, it's sad when you actually are someone who has no ideas and you're trying to keep your career moving or something.

So you just keep going down the ladder to the lowest common denominator and eventually just end up at evil. It's like, oh, fuck it. My brand was just literally, can you pay me money to, quote, make shit up? Mm-hmm. What do you think you are, an improviser? I was just going to make that joke. Hey, look at that and then

we're locked in right now I mean we've all taken UCB yeah I think he would be better at groundlings because I think he likes to wear wigs

100% cookie voices yeah he can't play it real see that's the difference you gotta keep it grounded he's gotta come in play to the top of your intelligence

and come in on an 11 not even a 10 don't come in on a 3 no one's going to notice you entering the scene. And then real quick, we want to give a shout out to the teachers

of the Carolinas, North and South. North and South Cacophonic. Who are on strike. Yeah. And their demands are just outrageous. I don't... Their demands are like, like wait you guys don't already have that yeah

look shout out to uh joey on instagram uh why i'm so great because he was like yo can you cover this because yeah normally we talk about all the teacher strikes and i do want to mention this again because god it's the same shit every time right it's not you know for the people who don't want to pay them, they want to act like, oh, we're giving them the opportunity to have input on the bill. When their demands are very clear and there's nothing they're asking for that is too much. Especially when you consider they're taking care of our fucking children and in most cases making sure they aren't totally dumb as fuck. Right. In most cases. First of all, South Carolina, they hate unions.

Okay. Right. So the teachers can't really strike. But the teachers are asking for a 10% raise. Okay, great. So they're closer to the national average. Right now they're not. They're ranked 38th in teacher pay. Which like they couldn't even buy a house.

Exactly. Does that go back to the Civil War, them hating unions? I don't know. All right. Wow. Dead joke. All right. What else?

I just now got that. Yeah. Can I get a bomb just for how long it took me to get it? I was like, oh, union. Oh. No. Yes. Then they're also banning.

They also want to ban retaliation against teachers for making public policy comments because they feel that there's been a lot of things where lawmakers were retaliating when teachers would speak out publicly. They want more mental health counselors. They feel like there's just not enough support for children there. What do you think this is? Club med? What do you think this is? Socialism? Right.

And then in North Carolina, it's more of the same. You know, they want more librarians, psychologists, like support staff to make their jobs easier. $15 minimum wage for all school employees. You know, five, like just the basics. Sounds great to me, yeah. It's not like they're saying. Schools with librarians? Yeah, bro.

I mean, who's ever. And then also that every teacher who has been teaching for over five years gets a brand new Bugatti. Right. Yeah, that's like honestly. Okay, maybe that five years gets a brand new Bugatti. Right. Yeah, that's like honestly. Okay, maybe that was a little bit of a stretch. But I mean, this is the shit that like, if you, like I grew up going to public schools and like we had a librarian.

Like that's, like that was pretty standard. I don't think I knew of any school that like didn't have a librarian. My librarian was also the lunch lady and I'm just kidding. And the bus driver. They would double dip a little bit. My theater teacher was my biology teacher too. They would

double dip a little. But I get that because they're like well look Bill you're only teaching two classes on Wednesday. Can you fill in? But the conservative movement has basically strip mined all public institutions. Yeah and they want to privatize everything so they can just bleed the corpse dry.

We go over this all the time, man. This is where we're at, baby. Can we each shout out our favorite teacher of all time? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Mine was Mrs. Bridgewater, my fourth grade teacher. I went to public school all the way through, too. Shout out to the public school kids.

Huh. Mine was probably Miss McDonald, my seventh grade writing teacher. Aw. Yeah. Mine was probably Miss McDonald, my seventh grade writing teacher. My biggest crush was Mrs. Schultz in sixth grade. I didn't ask that.

But I also love her, too, because she used to say the most cutting shit to us. Like, not in a bad way. Like, you know, in your sixth grade, you'll be like, Mrs. Schultz, it's not fair. And she would always be like, let me tell you guys something. Life is not fair. she would always be like let me tell you guys something right life is not fair she's got a point and like

she hammered that into the point by like halfway through the year like when people started to say we're like yo life isn't fair right keep it moving right so that was a good lesson

yeah a teacher that had a really good impact on me though Mr. Woolery my history teacher probably the reason why I got into history or even acknowledging history as a worthwhile topic to understand the present.

Yeah. Man, I had a lot of good teachers. Yeah. And that's why like, I think when you're someone who actually has experienced like teachers that have put their time and energy into you

and your development, it just makes it very upsetting that I don't understand. I mean, I do understand because the conservatives are all about not giving anything any more than is already out there. But jeez, I'm crow, guys.

We got to fucking, the teachers are the fucking, they are helping us out. What would we do without them? You know, the people who choose this career path, they should be more compensated for what they're doing. You know what I mean? Because we're all in here doing improv and shit. You know what I mean? Like these teachers actually did something to serve the community, serve the world.

Yeah, man. Pay up. Pay up, motherfuckers. So, yeah, support your teachers, man. If you're in a position to pay a teacher more or something, fucking do it. And hook it up with the holiday gifts. If you're a parent, hook it up. Give them that good, good, okay?

Like think above the Starbucksbucks card okay get those teachers some facials get massages oh wow nats butte coming in okay what else satin pillowcases sat that would be an excellent gift honestly of like a pack of five because we should be changing our pillowcases once a week oh yeah you know i feel like we probably don't do that people don't realize a lot of your skin shit can come from dirty-ass pillowcases, too, man. Of course. Of course. Come on.

Yes. I'm out here. How is that in terms of temperature? I meant to ask that earlier. Oh, I don't know. I think that's the whole point. So, you know, we're, what, 98.6 degrees? Yeah.

So if you sleep- Yes. So if you sleep up against your head, your hair, you're putting like a 98.6 degree flat iron up against your hair all night. Yeah. So- Sous vide hair. So that, it helps up against your hair all night. Yeah. Sous vide hair. So that it helps with regulate temperature.

Got it. Yeah. Okay. Because I like a cold pillow. That's me personally. I saw some shit. There's like a new bed that has like ventilation built into it, like a fucking mattress. But I was like, that's what I need because I get so fucking hot in bed.

I have a weighted blanket. Ask her majesty. Yeah. Oh, I have a weighted blanket. Ask her majesty. Yeah. Oh, I have a weighted blanket too. They're great. Shout out to gravityblankets.com. That's right. Use code TDZ for 15% off yours.

And if you smoke weed, you definitely want it. Just be sure to set your alarm because you can sleep for like two days under a weighted blanket.

I couldn't believe how I was able to get back to sleep. Like I wasn't able to sleep and I just went out to the couch and I put the thing on and it knocked me out. Yeah. They're pretty incredible. Because it fell on my head and I had a concussion. Could use it as a weapon. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah.

Really cumbersome weapon. I would be interested to see how Jackie Chang used that in a fight. 25 pound blanket. Yeah. Oh, I would love that. Alright, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia

Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we all remember those lovable scamps. The Thai soccer team that was stuck in a cave yeah uh got out an r.i.p to the diver who passed away what a story um well there is a i believe netflix uh series coming about that whole story already in production with the director of Crazy Rich Asians already attached. That is how quickly these deals come to hasn't even been a I think June 23rd is when they first

entered the cave. And we are already have directors attached. Netflix is already has a writer attached. I bet they already have Happy Meal toys lined up. Oh, yeah. Like My First Scuba Tank or something. Right. And yeah, so I guess now they're just sort of in development already, like deep development. They're still figuring out it's going to be a feature, a miniseries.

And, you know, I think they're really trying to make it a very, like an epic thing with like, you know, I think it might be multilingual sort of thing they have a thai writer attached so they want a little bit of a cultural uh a little bit of a reality check on the script probably uh which probably means scarlett johansson will miss out on the role of coach naparat uh canthawong but uh you know that's sad never mind i'm out yeah yeah my bad uh so i was just i couldn't, my whole question is, who the fuck packaged the rights together that quickly? Like, who came up to them and was like,

yo, I'm trying to buy the rights for your whole thing? I bet someone was waiting on the shore with a contract. On June 23rd. Yes. They broke surface. Yeah. And they were just like,

Yes. First kid out, hi, I'm from UTA. I would love to. We joke, but that's most likely what happens. You gotta jump on great stories. Which is absurd when you think of like how stressful this is for everybody.

These are kids who probably know nothing about the machinations of the film industry. And now they have actors following them around, like getting their methods down, like following them at school. Wait, so how do you hold your chopsticks? Okay. Ah, okay.

You choke down a little bit. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I mean, it's cool that they're doing it. It's a series, right? Not a film? They don't know. They don't know yet. It could be feature length or it could just be a mini series.

Got it. So they're still figuring that out. I mean, that HBO Chernobyl series looks terrific. Oh, whoever is a Russian speaker, if you can tell me what that warning siren voice is saying in the trailer, please let me know what that is because that is the fucking freakiest part

of that whole thing is when that voice comes out and it's like... It's interesting. That movie seems to posit that they all were speaking English with Russian accents the whole time. I thought that too i found that interesting yeah you know honestly like in the post narcos world yeah just keep it keep it funky yeah right fucking speak russian man because i get to pick up new words too like i'll be like

right i'm like yeah all right cool i'm gonna write that one down but i feel like i get my reading in when i watch narcos right you know like I feel more fulfilled, more enriched. And there's something a little bit more just, I mean, for lack of a better word, realistic. Yes. Right. People are speaking the language. But the acting is so much more authentic. You know? Yeah.

So, yeah. I mean, I hope it's in Thai and probably English. I don't want it to be, you know, whatever. Look, Netflix, whatever the fuck you got to do. Right. It's a very, I mean, I believe there's a Newsweek article about it that showed the picture of exactly what happened is truly crazy. Yeah, with like how small the little spot. The tiny amount of space.

Oh, yeah. Wow. That like cross section of what the cave thing was really like. Oh, my God. It's truly a remarkable story. So, of course, Hollywood's going to exploit it. Oh, yeah. Of course.

Yeah. Yeah. But we'll see where it falls in the hierarchy of like true story movies like will it be that peterberg uh oil thing exploding will it be oh that mark walberg one yeah the mark walberg peterberg i don't know why i went with the director instead of mark walberg no let's see if they add some love stories in here. Oh, right. Yeah. Uh, what,

what's like the best, like the high watermark? Because like they did that. Antonio Banderas did the, uh, miners that were stuck underground. The Chilean miners. The Chilean miners. I never saw that.

Yeah. Nobody really did. So like, I feel like that's one like side that you could go like, and then the best possible version is like, I guess you can't call the social network one. But like that was like a true story turned around in like three years. That was pretty good. It's a great movie.

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, look, just keep it real. Let me know what happened. Take out the filler. You know. Yeah. Yeah.

Don't drag it along and just keep Scarlett Johansson out of it. Right. And we've got a hit. Oh, Nicolas Cage 9-11 movie. Oh, fuck. Is that the one? What's that movie that ends, that it ends up being 9-11? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Remember me. Robert Pattinson. Yeah, right. Oh, God. Robert Pattinson, remember me. What if they do it like that and it's about the Thai cave? You're like, what the fuck?

It was Scarlett Johansson the whole time riding a bike through thailand it's a rom-com the whole time and then yeah and then real quick i wanted to tell everybody to go read this new york magazine cover story uh and you can find it online it's about this guy uh his name is larry ray and this is just like one of those stories that like it starts weird and then just gets weirder and weirder so it starts out with this guy Larry Ray getting released from prison and within days moving into the campus housing uh that his daughter and seven other women and like one guy live in on Sarah Lawrence's campus. Okay. So like really weird that a dad would move in with his daughter while she's

in college, like on the college. So let's play this out. guys, I want to have a house meeting. What's up? My dad who just got out of prison is our new roommate. Yes,

exactly. We live on campus. Venmo him for the water bill. Okay. Uh, she, but she had always talked about like how their dad was this, Venmo him for half the water bill, okay? But she had always talked about how their dad was this huge hero who got a raw deal because their mom convinced people that he was abusive, but he wasn't, and he was trying to actually save them from their mom. So the girl was fully like like my dad is a hero.

He walks on water. So he moves in. He begins instituting all these like rituals. Like he has like a meeting every night where like everybody like talks really seriously and like openly. And he's like, you just got to be honest. We've all had those roommates. Right. But he's like, starts talking about people's sexuality, having these like really intense one-on-ones,

rents an apartment over the summer and gets a bunch of the kids to spend the summer with him in this apartment where he's like, like controls what they eat, controls, like it's basically turns into like this weird, like sex cult

where it's like a 50 year old guy who's like controlling all these college kids um and i don't know man it's just so weird so then it like goes into like what his life has been up to that point and he just does this with everybody that he meets he can just like get in there manipulate everybody it's like crazy it's like some shit you've only seen in like a fictional movie one quote that i just wanted to pull from you apparently uh super producer anna hosnia is saying that it reminds her of dirty joan because that's also like a sociopath who's very manipulative but this dude the court ordered a psychological evaluation of the family members like during the

time when there was all this you know back and forth between he and his ex-wife. And the psychological evaluation came back and said that Larry is literally impossible to evaluate because he is able to manipulate and control any situation in which he finds himself, including a psychological interview with a forensic examiner. No matter how experienced that examiner may be, Mr. Ray is very good at what he does. Uh,

he can be utterly charming and one can be disarmed by his childlike simplicity and smile. But Mr. Ray is no child. He is a calculating, manipulative and hostile man. But like, so they sat down with him for an evaluation they were like i can't they're like i gotta get it get me out get me out yeah like he just already just like got

into their fucking head i would love to see what like that looks like because in my mind with my arrogant ass i'm like yeah get me in the room with him yeah i would love to see that and then suddenly like next thing i'm like you're naked yeah i'm like can we get a tattoo artist in here i'm getting larry's face on my chest right there exactly there's like a part where one of the like housemates talks about how like she doesn't feel great about this dude who's like a criminal and like she has like gets weird vibes from him yeah and then before she leaves to go abroad she writes a letter to like her parents, everybody in the house, all her teachers, like anybody being like, I disavow everything I said before. The only reason I said that is his ex-wife told me to. He is a genius.

And he like he just fucking gets people. Another thing he does is he gets everybody to pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like they like beg their parents for all this money by saying that they did like hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to his belongings. Like they'll like scrape a pan or something while doing dishes for him. And he'll be like, look what you did. Oh, my God. He's is that my Calphalon pan? Right. Oh, you motherfucker.

That's fifteen thousand dollars. Yeah. And like so he that's how he, you motherfucker. That's $15,000. Yeah. And, like, so he, that's how he makes his money. And then it, like, ties in. So, Rudolph Giuliani's former driver who became the NYPD commish, Bernie Carrick, like, crosses him at one point. Like, he's about to go to jail for this pump and dump scheme that he's involved with. Larry Ray is. And he, like, asksry ray is and he like asks

bernie carrick to like write a letter on his behalf and he doesn't and bernie carrick is not a household name anymore because this dude just tore his career the fuck down how i mean he found out shit that had happened in his past or like affairs he had had and just exposed them to everyone in the media and then also got Carrick to pay him $100,000 for scratching his Nokia 5290 or whatever the fuck phone that was. It is one of the most terrifying works of nonfiction I've ever read.

So shout out to New York Magazine, but everybody should read it for themselves. It's fucking wild. And shout out to any arrogant person like me who thought, give me in the box without me fucking manipulating me.

Because I'm really curious like for someone to even for a professional like psychological examiner to say this person is impossible to evaluate because they will fucking control everything yeah i want to know how that happened yeah what how it's so interesting you know, speaking of those teachers, they need their money. Can we teach in school how to spot a sociopath? Right. Like, how to spot a narcissist? Like, what to do? Because they're everywhere.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And he's active. Like, he's still, some of these young women that he, like, brought into his apartment still, like, won't talk to their parents and like live is he like having relationships with them yeah one of them he's in a relationship with and then another one point just to get money from everybody uh just to control everyone to have people who do his will and he claims he's like helping them yeah right they're one of the people who lived in the house

is like a dude who was struggling with his sexuality. He made him and one of the other girls like have sex in front of him to like while he videotaped it to prove that he wasn't gay. He's like, you're not gay, bro. Like right away. And to prove it, have sex in front of me. Right. Yeah. It's dark.

It is wild. Anyways, that's our next great podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Called Reading Articles. Right. Out Loud from the New York Magazine. That's right. All right. Well, Jackie, it has been a pleasure having you and your lovely dog in our studio today.
