Well, Pallavi, it's time to welcome our guest today. This is a fantastic stand-up comedian. Someone with a storied past who really intersects with mine in a way that my awareness of his story, actually from years past when I read an article about it, to now becoming a fantastic podcast on uh big money players network it's number one dad that's what the name of the podcast is uh let's welcome to the show number one son and former sports illustrated for kids correspondent gary veter i love the energy thank you for having me. You guys are awesome. You guys have so much

more energy than I have. It's funny, like once the mics go off, I like fall down in a club like the flu game. We have the same cocktail they're trying to shove into Biden right now. But we had to split it, so it's only going to work for about 20 minutes. What's it called when

somebody's having a drug overdose? Apinephrine? Or Narcan. Narcan, yeah. Just to get them back. Or I mean like adrenaline. We were talking about getting Pulp Fiction when he had to hit Uma Thurman with that.

To bring him back from a heroin overdose. That's what I was thinking. Just bring him back. Yeah, we need that. Gary, man, it's really good to have you on the show. Like I said, man, so I remember reading the article. I don't know. I feel like I read it around maybe four years ago or something. Yeah.

Is that right? It was 2020. It was 2020, right? Yeah, I felt like it was one of these things I read in the pandemic. And that's what got the podcast going. It was the last dance came out. I just had a son and i decided yes i decided to share this story about a thing that happened with my dad and i because my dad my dad is is a con man was a con man and we stopped talking 24 years ago so i uh when when the last dance came out i was

like oh let me post this story about how he and I, we used to sneak into Madison square garden. He used to say that we worked for sports illustrated for kids. I was a reporter. He was a photographer and they rolled out the red carpet. They really believed that they gave us press passes. And when we would go to the garden, uh, they gave us full access. They allowed to interview the the teams they i met different players and interviewed him i met michael jordan and interviewed him and like right after he came back from retirement like yeah one of like the more iconic moments of his career yeah fifth game back at the garden it was his famous double nickel game i was at it and then that's the game that i

met him at so yeah it was crazy and and you know it wasn't just that game. We went to over 50 games over the course of four years, completely for free without tickets. And I would sit at points, I would sit, you know, front row, I'd sit close to, you know, on the court, whatever, a couple rows back. My dad would be off taking pictures with the other camera guys. I could be, if it was at a hockey game, I could be sitting glass or I'd be in the press area. So I'd have great seats all again without tickets. And then I'd be in the locker room. And I mean, this Masters of Square Garden, they completely bought it. They didn't think anything of it, especially when you do it a few times.

Yeah, and they're like, oh, it's a sports industry. Yeah, your regular face. Yeah. Yeah, right, right, right. And yeah, I was going to say, that's what we did. And it was just, you know, it was successful. And nobody ever suspected a thing. Right. I also love like to like, you know, like you obviously have parted ways with your father, but you becoming a dad sort of brought up a lot of

ideas, memories, and sort of kind of wanting to really figure this all out too. So, uh, the show has a lot of heart. And I think for most people who, you know, are like, you know, millennials, like so much of what you went through. I remember like I used to subscribe to Sports Illustrated for kids and always and like they would have the thing about like the kids who were interviewing people like that shit looks so tight. Do you talking to Gretzky and shit? Yeah.

So later on, they eventually had kids in the beginning. They didn't. So actually, when my dad and I were running the con, they didn't even have kids yet working at Sports Association for Kids. They were like, this is actually a great idea. Yeah, they stole our idea.

So yeah, we should they're actually con men. But anyway, they're practically out of business now, unfortunately. If you could con your way into any sports arena with your kid now, where would you go? Oh, God. Well, I mean, the garden is ideal.

I mean, is there anything better? I mean, maybe it's... Or like, maybe not basketball, maybe another sport. Like, what would you prefer? Wimbledon is like the highest one. You can fucking walk in Wimbledon is like the highest one. You can fucking walk in. I get,

you know, I'm, what I probably would do, and this is what I would do, would be like, that like Celebrity Tahoe event, just so you could clean up and just meet all the celebrities. So I would say that,

so like that golfing event that they have over the summer, I would say that would be the move, just so you could get as many autographs and meet as many athletes. And usually they're, they're pretty nice when they're playing golf. So I think that gives you the best opportunity to,

to really clean up. So that, that would probably, that would be my pick, even though obviously you want to go to a game, but I'm, I'm all about, you know,

getting your autographs and yeah, interaction. Yeah. You already, you got the high of like, you weren't a spectator. You sniffed uncut cocaine by meeting Michael Jordan and now you're just going to be chasing that dragon.

You're like, dude, I don't even care. I want to be next to these people. That helped you prep for interviews and stuff. As an adult, you had media training as a child. Oddly enough, Oddly enough. And also, it just helps you. Yeah, it helps you talking to people because once you meet Michael Jordan, that's as nervous as you could get. Especially, I was only 11.

I just turned 11. So, at 11 years old, you meet Michael Jordan. I was nervous meeting him. But it kind of settles you into meeting other people regardless of their status because, hey, go on a job interview. Yeah. All right. Go on a job interview. But now I've already have the meeting Michael Jordan pretending I'm somebody else completely under my belt when I'm going into these situations. Right. I lied to Michael Jordan to his face. You think I'm telling you I know how to use Excel in this fucking interview?

Right, right, right. They're like, what's your greatest weakness? You're like, your greatest weakness is you're not Michael Jordan. Right, right, right. Yeah. Yeah. Probably say, you know, my perimeter jump shot. But anyway, do you have would you sneak into somewhere?

Are you are there any sporting events? It's not. It's so much lamer. It is so lame. But like I went to caltech for undergrad and it's there's this like technically off campus like fancy hotel but it's right next to all the dorms okay and it's like where there's like an einstein room stephen hawking would stay there like it was like all the fancy scientists would stay there

and so my Stephen Hawking's room was there a ramp I don't know actually that should be kind of messed up yeah yeah like we just named it after him it's not 88 compliant yeah I mean that happens every weekend they would always host these like weddings and stuff I remember one time there was an Indian or something at the Athenaeum yeah Athenaeum yeah sorry I heard that and they like one time there was like on a saturday we walked outside there was an elephant from an indian wedding that had wandered in between the dorms we were like the fuck like all the kids ran out we were just like there's an elephant on campus and it's not a prank but um one time my friends and i were bored and we dressed up and we crashed a wedding at the Athenaeum. But the problem was,

it was a half East Asian, half white wedding. So out of my friends, I was the only one who stuck out. And like, we got away, we like we're partying and stuff with everybody dancing and everything. And then it got to a point where in the reception like like somewhere over the rainbow or some some very emotional like weird song started playing and i think they were like remembering relatives who had passed or something and we were like we gotta get out this is too heavy like they're all getting emotional like we gotta go but that was the only thing that i like crashed you know yeah and they're playing. It's like, no, God only knows what I'd be.

But you get the feeling of what it's like when you go to a place and you don't, when you're not supposed to be there. So you have like a little bit of nervousness. Like what happens if I get caught? What are they going to do? Is this trespassing? They're going to arrest me.

They had, I've written that article. You wrote that you had a fear of being like, they're like, am I going to get arrested? Yeah. Childsized cuffs? Yeah. Thankfully, this is back before James Dolan took over for the Knicks.

But I probably wouldn't be allowed back in the garden now if it was during his years because he's pretty tight on everything over there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm happy enough that that was pre pre-dolan years when i when my dad and i were pulling that scam oh man he's a great musician though isn't he jd straight shot love that band um all right well gary we're gonna get to know even better but first let's just preview a little bit of what we're gonna talk about today obviously the big thing that most people are still talking about is like what's what what's biden gonna what's biden doing what's

he up to uh and apparently his administration has been talking to the press just like let him know like we got an eight point plan to turn this thing around so we'll look at that and see what it involves or does not involve uh we'll probably catch up with our friend rudy giuliani america's greatest mayor about how he's he's been disbarred in New York it seems so sorry sorry roots uh but first Gary Veeder we got to ask you as our guest what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are what you're into right now oh boy geez cops just break down my door right now but uh let's see something that reveals about who I am I don't know how about

I'll take I mean I'll just pull it up let's see what we got here about who I am. I don't know. I mean, I'll just pull it up. Let's see what we got here. Yeah, what do you got? How to get into Madison Square Garden now. Yeah. I mean, everything that just comes up. I mean, it literally is all sports. Right now, it's Klay Thompson.

It's going to the Mavericks. So that's like, I read about NBA contracts. I don't know why I never have that kind of money. But I'm always jealous. I'm like, oh,, I was just, I read about NBA contracts. I don't know why I never have that kind of money, but I'm always jealous. I'm like, oh, they gave this guy,

you know, three years. It's your Zillow. But he didn't take, yeah, exactly. It is my Zillow. Yeah.

Some people go on Redfin. Yeah. I'm already past not being able to buy a home. So I'm just like, oh, all right, let me just,

let me just critique these NBA contracts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. You're like, man,

if I could play basketball, if I ever kept going, you know, even after intramurals in elementary school, what would my contract be? That's my toxic trait is I still have this fantasy.

I was like, you know, if I started young enough, I could be at the Olympics right now. Right, right. Oh, yeah. Yeah, dedicated.

Wait, for what? I just didn't want to do it. What event? Were you actually? Oh, I thought, oh. No, I was not good at anything. I was terrible at sports. I danced, but I wasn't great at it.

That's why I'm into science. My brain is just like, it's only because I didn't really try. Right, right, right. That's how my brain is. I would smoke Sha'Carri Richardson out there in the 100. You kidding?

You could be in the Olympics for being honest. You're very honest with what your capabilities are. They're just a new category. That's what the Olympics need. Wait, so, Gary, who's your team? The Knicks, I'm guessing? I like the Knicks. I mean, overall sports like Knicks, Rangers, and then I go Giants and then Yankees.

But, I mean, more so I follow the Knicks and the Rangers as my two teams. And I like hockey. I grew up just playing hockey. That was a sport. Oh, me too. Oh, yeah, you played? Where are you from? I'm from LA.

This is so wild. I'm black and Japanese and was playing travel hockey from like age four to 17. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so I was playing travel too. I'm an outlier. Yeah, were you? You're an outlier for white people. No. Okay. I'm an outlier. You're an ally for white people?

No, I said outlier. I thought you said you were an ally. Isn't that so funny? I play hockey. I'm an ally. That's a weird way to talk about internalized white supremacy. You're like, I'm an ally to white people. That's because you play hockey.

Yeah. It was like the Mighty ducks man we had like mexican kids salmoneering kids armenians russians uh kids whose parents were from sweden canadians so it was really like this weird sort of like you know mix of people would you guys travel outside of california we go to new england all the time oh really okay yeah yeah so like no we were like we look we weren't fucking shitting. You know what I'm saying, Gary? No, I know.

I was a defenseman. I was fucking scoring wrist shots from the blue line, baby, with my Brian Leach signature blade, okay? Yeah, yeah. I met Brian Leach. I bet you would say you met Brian Leach. Of course, he was playing at the Garden at the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, yeah, it's a whole thing. It's actually interesting that you say, so. He was playing at the Garden at the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's a whole thing. It's actually interesting. So when I was playing, and I'm probably a little bit older than you, is California was just coming up. I'm almost 40. Oh, okay. And I am 40. Okay.

There we go. Yeah, so it's right when I was playing and I was playing travel, it started getting bigger in California, hockey. I mean, Gretzky obviously used there back in like the late eighties and that expanded it. But when these teams started getting local hockey and travel hockey teams, that's what really, really helped. And now obviously you see Californians playing in the NHL and stuff.

Yeah, exactly. It's a wild time, man. I I'm telling you, but my, like I, every time I got a new stick, I get the Brian Leach heel curve. Yeah. I love the heel curve. Do you played with, we had like wood and aluminum sticks. Now the sticks are insane. These hockey sticks now are, yeah, they're, I mean, they have, do you, you don't follow it anymore? No, no, no, no. Oh, it's pretty wild. Like the, they have the, like this flex and a stick where when they show a shot, it's just like it bends. I mean, I'm boring everybody. But it's pretty. It changed so much from when we were kids.

I was in the time when the first Easton aluminum shafts came out and everyone's like, dude, you got the fucking Easton. You know what I mean? But it's a ridiculous thing for kids. Yeah, it's ridiculous for kids to be playing because it's, I mean, it's a great sport, but it's so expensive. So it puts such a financial burden on families. And so like my kid, I just started actually went ice skating with my son yesterday and he's only four, but it's like, he's learning and stuff. And he's like, he doesn't, it's not like he asked to

play hockey, but I'm like, Oh, let me take him skating. But I hope he really doesn't love it. You're not waking up for those 5 a.m. practices. No, and that's what I did. I already did it. I already did that stuff. And then you're like, I don't want to do that again. Also, the tough part of little kids playing hockey is when they get in those fights, they lose all their baby teeth. You know what I mean?

Right, yeah, exactly. In youth hockey, if you dropped your gloves, you were fucking gone. like when they get in those fights, they lose all their baby teeth. You know what I mean? Right. Yeah, exactly. No, like in youth hockey, like even if, if you dropped your gloves, you would, you were fucking gone. Like,

really? Oh yeah. That was like a thing. Cause you send it for like a few games or like, it could be like a half season. If you tried to emulate what you saw pros do, like literally, if you've just dropped your gloves,

you're like, go get the fuck out. Just the act, just the act of it. Yeah. The plumpiest guy in the little. Yeah. It's like, no, I just, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, ref. He's wearing dropping it. Just the act. Just the act of it. Yeah. The klutziest guy in the little. Yeah. It's like, no.

No, I just, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, ref. He's wearing my gloves. I'm an adult. And then we forgot his kid gloves. They're falling off. He's not dropping gloves. Head slip.

Yeah. And also, it's such a crazy thing. It's like, but you're still wearing a full helmet and face shield. So it's like, you're an idiot. Don't drop your gloves. I'm going to punch through that Jaffa cage. Yeah. All right.

Gary, what's something that you think is underrated? Five Guys. Wow. I like that. I like that. I think Five Guys is the best fast food out there. It's not up there. Nobody considers it.

They'll say Shake Shack or you're In-N-Out or you'll go- I like Five Guys over in California. But I think so- In California. Okay, cool. So I would say that it doesn't get enough notoriety as it should. But I think it could be on the rise. It's the fries. It's the fries.

That's the other part. Don't sleep on those fries. Made to order. Yeah. Boardwalk fries. Like I said, I don't know. I didn't grow up near a boardwalk, but everyone, that's what they call them. Wait, what are boardwalk fries distinguished with? I don't know. I, but that's what they call them. Wait, what are boardwalk fries distinguished with?

I don't know. I just know that's what they call them. I was going along with it. You had me. But I think they're like hand-cut fries, fresh potatoes. It's good. And I don't know. Pallavi, have you had five guys?

I'm now vegan. But when I was vegetarian, I tried the grilled cheese from Five Guys and the one from In-N-Out, and I think the Five Guys one was better. Okay, we'll take it. They're looking at their foods now. I'll go along with that, but they are a burger place,

but you don't eat meat, so that's fine. But it's still a valid review for vegans and vegetarians. Twice cooked fries. My favorite fast food is Taco Bell because that is technically Indian food. That is very important. It is so important to Indian culture. When they got rid of the Mexican pizza, that was a hate crime against Indian people. I have been to movie premieres in LA where the bar after had, had Taco Bell like catered to it.

It's a really, people love Taco Bell. We love it, man. We love it. My sister, not Indian, but like is obsessed with Taco Bell is her,

her number one. It's wild too, because like people haven't had a fuck with Taco Bell. Like when you find out, it's almost like, you're like, Oh, your parents are,

we, we, we emigrated from the same country. Like another person who was like mentally ill with Taco Bell, like when you find out, it's almost like you're like, oh, your parents are, we, we, we emigrated from the same country. Like another person who's like mentally ill with Taco Bell obsession. Yeah. But it's like, you know, when you get your, when you start, when you start driving, the first thing you do is, oh, now I could get things that I want. And so I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get fast food. So you go, I go through the different phases. So I had a Taco Bell phase for sure. I go through the different phases. So I had a Taco Bell phase for sure. And when you have Taco Bell, and I haven't had it in a while,

but as soon as you have it once, you start craving it. I did that with White Castle, Taco Bell. Oh, man, get the crave case with some friends that really detest yourself. Exactly. Yeah. So it was all that. But Five Guys would be my underrated pick. All right, Gary. And that's, yeah.

Your problematic fave. Yeah Your problematic fave. Obama's favorite burger. Gary, what do you think is something that's overrated? Only because I see it all the time. Well, actually, I'm going to say

Don't be afraid, man. Say it with your chest, man. You lied to Michael Jordan's face, man. Just come out with it. say don't be i want okay well i was gonna say i was gonna say michael jordan space man yeah you're right i'll go i'll say it's tough because i um also i write and i want to make a show but i say that the show the bear to me is is overrated i i just think i know and that's a tough one that's me personally of like i know i get that people, but to me, it's just slow. I'm not personally a fan. It's also not a comedy,

but they win awards for comedy. As a comedian, I'm kind of like, don't put this as a comedy. Like The Martian. I think it has good moments. I watched the first season and then lost interest in the second season. It was just too slow moving for me.

But that said, sure, people could like it. That's just my opinion. I think you colored your opinion when you were like, I love Five Guys. I don't get what they're doing in The Bear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's about food. Right, right, right.

Someone tweeted, oh, I forget who it was. It showed up on my timeline but someone had a joke where they're like if like in real life if a place i knew that could get you like a cheap sandwich some a pop surprise or whatever uh shut down so some white guy could move back and make it like high-end dining in a working-class neighborhood i would fucking burn the place down yeah yeah yeah that was sort of the thrust of that tweet. But yeah, I mean, it's a popular show. I mean, I definitely, it's funny.

I was watching the second season and I lost momentum because so many of my friends were like, yo, did you see the Christmas episode? Did you see the Christmas episode? And we're building it up in this way where they're like, it was fucking traumatic for me to watch.

Like, they're like, it's an amazing episode, but it was a little too real for me. That like kind of became this thing i dreaded even though i was like enjoying the ride the most of the way there i love sometimes you gotta just not talk to people about shows yeah yeah yeah no i think we fall into that trap where we're like i have to make commentary on everything and then it doesn't become about the show anymore it's totally oh yeah i mean but it's funny because i watch i barely talk about the shows anymore. It's about how to interact with people. It's funny because I barely talk about the shows I actually watch because it's always bullshit reality or like sports or something like that.

But yeah, that's where I need people to drag me kicking and screaming to watch. I'll give you the one that I was initially going to say, and this is out of left field, but it's just because it just annoys me. Bumper stickers just annoy me so much. So I just think that that's overrated. You see it on a lot of cars and just like a, just like a tattoo, you really got to think about what your, what you want your bumper

sticker to say. And it's like, all right, get a tattoo. But that's like, that's a bump. Just like a bumper sticker. It's on your car. Everybody's on your car. Everybody's going to judge you for that. Just make sure it's right. And then, yeah, I also don't need to know how many kids you have. I don't need to know that there's a baby on board. I'm still going to drive the same way. Yeah. But the bumper sticker.

Yeah, I got a baby on board too, and I'm drunk. So what, you're better than me? Yeah, right, right, exactly. I kind of love bumper stickers just because I'm like, I want to be that person. I feel like I would enjoy more TV shows if I had a bunch of bumpers. Do you know what I mean? I'm like not overthinking it too much. I think the good part about bumper stickers is that they help people just outwardly broadcast their own red flags.

Yeah, potentially. They really do. With certain things you're like, oh, OK. I think I have an idea of what you do on a like even if they're positive even if they were like you know in in support of like a lot of like progressive ideals i'm like but what made you put a bumper sticker exactly there's something about you that's insecure about your positioning in these movies any car flare is a red flag i know somebody who has um flames on the side of their car i know somebody with flames on their

yeah yes i don't know makes it go faster you know yeah yeah yeah because race car that's yeah yeah because hot rod all right fantastic well let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about some really, some really cool news. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours.

BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.

I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in

North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And again, aside from the Supreme Court dooming this nation to an eventual dictatorship, the story that's consumed like a lot of the news cycle is Biden's future. That debate was difficult to watch for those that had not quite let their brain accept the reality that was visible to most people that Biden is, in fact, old. Just shock and horror from people like, I didn't know it was gonna be like that it's like well i get it like the first time you see like your grandpa's wrinkly ass for the first time you're kind of like oh damn like that's a that's a that's a dark place we go but what did you think

was gonna happen where did you think this road ended and the dnc just couldn't keep up the gas lighting and it became obvious in a serious way that, you know, like Biden continues to age or continues to decline as he ages, just like any human being. But the debate was a turning point for many, including a lot of establishment Democrats who are now calling for him to bow out of the race. But the Bidens and the administration have a plan to turn this thing around. And sadly, none of it involves a fucking time machine or showing up with compound V from the boys. Because I feel like those might be the only ways that you could maybe do something here. I know earlier we were kind of contemplating what other mythical substances maybe Joe Biden could ingest. Whatever they gave She-Hulk.

Oh, shit. Yeah. like some gamma rays or some shit or whatever is that is that how she hulk happened right be the whole i'm not a scientist yeah i am i am yeah the thing with biden it's like it wasn't like he went into this where they thought he was gonna just improve like all of a sudden they're yeah you're just it's time is his worst enemy 100 but like on a daily basis because he's sundowning like they have yeah they've commented about him sundowning it's it's bad yeah it's again and it's sad it's bad and it's yeah it's sad. It's bad. And it's sad. Nobody should watch this. And it's not like the Democrats would allow someone

to stay in office longer than they need to because they're so caught up in their, oh, wait. Hold on. Dianne Feinstein has something to say about that from hell. Has entered the chat. It's like Trump is old, too. But you can even

see him declining slightly he's even slight yeah yeah trump's like neurosyphilis has been with him from his 20s or what you know what i mean like he is we're used to that uh biden like his team was the one who suggested this debate they were like everything around him is enabling yeah they should have done it like earlier in the day. You know what I mean? Right when he wakes up. 10 a.m. or something.

Yeah, maybe they're trying to, you know, purposely sabotage him in a way. Somewhere Kamala is laughing. I mean, if you're on his team, wouldn't you say the best thing to do would be to not put him in front of the camera? Yeah. How could you avoid that as much as possible? say the best thing to do would be to not put him in front of the camera yeah how do you how could you avoid that as much as possible yeah i mean at the same time he's you know right now he's i mean he's he's gonna lose it's like kind of what sports coaches do like oh you think you should be a starter okay you're starting yeah and when they lose the game like so what do you think now yeah that's what i thought sit down i don't know. Hopefully that's not the logic being used.

As they say, this is the most important fucking election of our time. Yeah. Maybe their goal is to have him step. Maybe that's it. To force his hand. I don't think that's the case. Because he just came back from that Camp David meeting with the rest of his family. And they were like, we're going to keep doing this.

We're doing it. I don't think it's the case. I think what it is, is arrogance. I think the Democratic Party is like, you're going to vote vote blue no matter who we don't give a shit about you and like we just care about our own pockets so they don't give a they don't give they really underestimate how stubborn american people can be too or like don't just make me do this totally out of touch what the fuck are you trying to do but But anyway, so they have a plan. And it's eight steps, okay? He can't even take eight steps.

Like, bro. Be fair, be fair. He could take a couple. Eight steps with help. How about that? In the wrong direction. With Jill, easily eight steps. Now, step one, quote, dismiss the bedwetting.

It's their first step. The official White House, this is from Axios, who's speaking to people in the administration, quote, the official White House and campaign line is that this is as much ado about, it's just much ado about nothing. Biden allies are cranking out data

and pushing out surrogates to insist he had one bad night, mostly because of a scratchy voice and over preparation and gray matter deteriorating. Sorry. When someone is being accused of being old, don't use the term bedwetting in a plan because now I'm just thinking about

Biden wetting the bed. Like that is immediately where man goes. Yeah. I mean. Not the best rhetoric here for this one. The second one, get some good polls out. Biden allies are circulating polls and focus group results showing the debate did little to change the dynamics of their race.

They're basically saying that if you believe the polls, voters thought Biden lost the debate and seemed too old. But again, there's little evidence they're moving fast to Trump either. I think that's true. Nobody watched that and was like, oh, Trump just. I think that's true. Like nobody watched that and was like, Oh, Biden or Trump just got all of Biden's support. The thing that people came away with, at least I think what we saw was Biden's decline is becoming more and more apparent and in a way that's uncomfortable. And Trump continues to lie in these actually absurd ways, which a lot of the emphasis isn't really on that again, because we've become so used to the line that now it's just mostly about being like, well, what about Joe Biden? Obviously Trump still fucking incoherent and not making sense.

But that's the problem is that people didn't, people weren't moved because the whole reason that Biden's team suggested it was to show off that he is still great at these debates. And he didn't move the needle on that because he was so incoherent. No, no. So that is the problem, is that they didn't move. I think he needs a go-to when he forgets what he's talking about, just to throw in, even if he's talking about Medicare, Medicaid, and he forgets, and then he could go off and just start talking about something

that might not have to do with Medicaid. Just a go-to. He rambles off and he just, you know, when he just trails off and you're like, what is going on? Here's the thing, you got to worry about how you pay for it and the taxes, man. Yes, taxes, just words, keywords.

My dad and I used to sneak into Madison Square Garden. He would say he was a photographer. I love number one dad podcast, yeah. I was a reporter for Sports Illustrated for kids. And then it was like, all right, Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody's impression of Joe Biden now is like Rick from Rick and Morty.

It's like, corn pop, Jack. Yeah, it's a stream of consciousness. And Trump is a professional at debate. I mean, you can't be better than trump at debates it's as good as you could be it's just energetic it's like a roast he's a shit talker yeah it's a roast master you know he could go on you know whatever in the netflix roast

and do it and he could compete with everybody because he yeah to put people in their place it's sad i was gonna say like, my idea for this Ape Park, throw it out, bring in Hunter Biden. Hold on, I'm only at two. Everybody is going to vote for that guy. He's pretty fucking sick. The most relatable one.

He's sick. He loves guns. He'll bring over the Republicans. You know what I mean? Yeah. Come on. Tax evasion. Second Amendment rights. What happened to us, huh? Hell yeah. You can't have a gun Yeah. Come on. Tax evasion. Second Amendment rights.

What happened to us? You can't have a gun because you got a couple of drug charges. Anyway. He gets the ladies. Anyway. Sorry. Paula B, allow me to even finish. We're only a quarter of the way through this masterful plan. Number three, and they'd love this one, warn of chaos as it relates to the convention. Biden allies are making plain in private conversations the perils of an open convention and the risk of picking a Democrat even more unpopular than Biden, namely Vice President Kamala Harris. That is so fucked up. It is. It's like, why did you pick her? It makes the VP pick, that specific VP pick, look even more cynical when he's like, well, I did it to just sort of be able to get as many people of color to vote for me.

That's sort of why I did that. I did it because of woke. Yeah. Right. But not even that. Just like the pure mathematics vote counting of being like, well, if I have a woman of color running as my VP pick, that the logic would say that then maybe that will get me some more votes. Now, do I think she's qualified outside of physically being a woman of color that is present? I don't know. She's not even really present.

They've hidden her. Oh, 100%. Put her away. Unless, yeah, like, well, she's getting out there a lot more now because someone has to get out there. Number four, limit dissent. So this is more just getting orchestrating supportive tweets by former presidents like Clinton and Obama. Sure. I don't know.

That helps. Like, no one's being like, oh, yeah. What? Did you see Obama's tweet about it? His tweet started with a bad night or something. He had it started. Yeah. Listen, we've all had bad.

And Nancy Pelosi, when she was being interviewed, had the same thing. It was a bad night or something he had it started with listen we've all had bad and nancy pelosi when she was being interviewed had the same thing it was a bad night and then she went on to try to defend him but she was incoherent too like yeah it is so bad when like it's like doing stand-up and people are being like the crowd was rough you know when you get off stage you're just like fuck it was that bad do you think he did that bad badly do you think from what it sounds like he's been coddled for the entire administration with people not really letting a lot of bad news penetrate like that yeah so some people also talks blame his advisors for also being like such in their own echo chamber that they don't have a sec i mean i'm look at what's i'm just in general when you see what the administration administration has done you're like oh these people don't talk to anyone outside of like

the five people they talk to every day and that's where america is it's not even talking to people those advisors want to be in power that's it like it's the same thing with like diane feinstein her like entire staff wanted to be in like have jobs you know what i mean and that's why like none of them were like step the fuck down or or we're covering mitch mcconnell even like they're all like taking care of these old people who need to retire yeah yeah and like be put in a home at worst you It's like if they go down, I'll have to do something else rather than coasting on the coattails

of power of one of the most powerful people on Earth. Number five. I was going to say, how many 83-year-olds are working right now in America? I just watched that documentary Ren Faire. The owner of the Texas Renaissance

Faire is 85. But also if you saw him, you're like, dude, this guy shouldn't even be at an Olive Garden, let alone running like an entire business. When you're here, you're not family. Hey, what happened to Hospitaliano? Huh? Whatever happened to it? What happened to us? Number five, keep elected leaders close. So this is now, this is the White House talking about how they want like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to basically be like, look, I know you guys are worried that Biden being so unpopular affects down ballot things like Senate races and house races, which are also equally as important. But apparently they're really just trying to say like, look, man, it's going to be all good. It's going to be all good. Which again, that's not a,

this isn't a strategy at all. Number six, get the donor class to chill. Quote, Jeffrey Katzenberg and other top Biden backers are working the phones to reassure the deep pockets while the campaign and DNC are keeping, keep turning out fundraising appeals and highlighting successes. But it sounds like a lot of donors are also like, Jesus Christ. I think that's the main thing. The public doesn't matter. It's the donors that matter to the Democratic Party, right? To a certain extent.

Yeah. To a certain extent, for sure. Because you need, like, you're going to have to just completely carpet bomb, like, the airwaves to get as much, you know, messaging out there as possible to make up for maybe the lack of in-person things or whatever. Number seven, prove vitality. Words can't capture how elated top officials were that Biden was as vigorous as he was at a rally in North Carolina the day after the debate. They're looking for as many opportunities as possible to show that he's still on his game. Cut to him probably lifting weights in public or something. I want President Biden to take the presidential fitness test like I fucking had to. Yeah.

Okay? If you can run a mile in 12 minutes. Yeah. Yo, is that your mile time? If you could walk a mile. Oh, that was mine. I hate it. I would protest.

I was like 15 minutes i was like do it i was trying to do makeup on the running yeah yeah shuttle run though i was fucking up the shuttle run yeah what was the shuttle run again that was like where you're moving the bean bags like back and forth oh yeah one side to another dude that was it was a lot yeah yeah yeah the physical fitness test that's what we called it. Did everyone have a rope at theirs? We did have a rope. We also had a... Guys had to do pull-ups

and we had to do hangs or something on the bar. I remember those two things. It was pull-ups, push-ups. Was there one about stretching? Yeah. I killed the stretching. Don't let it stretching.

Limber. Bad at running. We didn't have to stretch him. Maybe that was a... That's why I pulled something. Yeah, yeah. I pulled my leg. So, yeah, I don't know how they're going to...

Looking for as many opportunities as possible to show that he's still on his game. I feel like that could go wrong really quickly. But that's what the debate was. Yeah. That's what I'm saying like they're gonna have to do something so controlled like he's gonna lift movie weights or something yeah or it is gonna be like it really is gonna be like the boys where they fake everything yeah

they're like yo we gotta have him stop a fucking bank robbery with his just fucking just barehanded okay and maybe that will help the numbers. And then finally, number eight, this is great. Quote, ignore slash engage the media. That is so funny. So basically what they're saying is they're ignore the haters or people who are observing that this is maybe not the best path forward and simultaneously engage other journalistic outlets like Axios, like they're doing in this article to talk about how everybody's got this whole thing mixed up i mean like i guess this is a plan but again it's still all rooted in making people deny what they are seeing with their bare eyes you know what i mean

like no he's fine he's actually very vital he's quite spry it. It's like, no, I don't. That's not what I'm getting. At the very least, you could like make the platform. And I keep saying this, the thing people want to vote for rather than proving like this husk of a person is promises made. Some kept a lot not. And yeah, just like there's no talk of policy really at all, aside from being like and I get it. The very real threat of a Trump presidency and are already fucked up Supreme Court. That's not lost on many people. But to just constantly be like, we need to get excited and then just like be like our solution is just getting people to pretend that he isn't what they're seeing is the way out of it okay i have two questions yes one if you had to fool the american public into thinking that you were more like a mentally like a cute like aware or like you had to prove prove vitality or vitality who would you who would be like a witness? And what would you do? Like what, like event or, or display of strength would you do? I'm thinking, you know, in like American Ninja Warrior shit where they knock people off.

I'm thinking I want to do one of those. I want to train for one of those. That's American Gladiators. American Gladiators. Yeah. Whatever they do. Joust. Joust.

I want to do that. I feel like that would be fun. No, I feel like you have to engineer. It has to be a full-on psy-op. You know what I mean? Not a stunt. The person on the other side, I'd have somebody with a string to pull him off at the right time. To do matrix wire stunts and shit?

Yeah, like he blew him off that platform. I mean, I'm thinking like- What's the thing in Billy Madison? It's like the academic it's a full-fledged academic and physical. That should be the debate. I choose business

ethics for Donald Trump. That would be perfect. That's the way they need to do to go at a head-to-head and then whoever wins that that's what should decide who's president really yeah yeah that or something where it's like they get like logan paul to like meet the president but he did he interviewed trump no but you need biden to be like come on man he like hits him so hard on the back

he's like i dude he actually compressed discs in my back. That was the craziest shit, dude. And I was about to, and I'm a boxer wrestler. I think he offered to have Biden on, but Biden didn't take him up on it. Cause he did interview Trump. And I think he offered Biden the same chance.

And Biden was like, that's the one who fights, right? Logan Paul's. I mean, he's a wrestler. Oh, that's the wrestler.

Oh, you want to get Jake Paul. He's frustratingly good at wrestling. He's like a really good heel in wrestling. Jake Paul's the boxer oh you want like yeah jake paul he's frustratingly good at wrestling he's like a really good heel in wrestling jake paul's the boxer he's like yeah ufc or boxing yeah boxing but jake paul is supposed to fight tyson yeah so biden steps in and not jake paul out and that's basically saying i'm as good as mike tyson yeah yeah jake paul has been showing up on fox too he's been saying weird shit on fox yeah yeah as well so that's what i like i like that also who would i would pick um for you guys for gary i would pick your dad to say how how aware how strong and aware like he would

if he got you in a madison square garden yeah i feel like he could testify to your strength you know look the dnc have mastered the con over the decades yeah i don't know if they're i mean but they are the ideas are getting stale like to the point there was this article that was saying that joe biden's grandkids are now saying that like they're like they have ideas about how to help and like well i have like some social media followers maybe i can talk to other influencers online and like none of them have like a truly substantial following we see a bunch of public venmo requests from his grandchildren yeah yeah yeah exactly um but then again the other thing too is like

while many again are calling for someone else to run in biden's, you have the big question of money. What happens if you drop in a Gretchen Whitmer or a Gavin Newsom as like sort of like the headlines are saying, like, that's who it should be. Because just so we're clear in the hypothetical where Biden drops out, Kamala Harris is the only person that can seamlessly use the hundreds of millions of dollars the campaign has raised so far because i thought i thought you can use that it like they have more than they need often and so that just goes into like a big slush fund it goes it can go into a pack or something like that but if you're trying to fund another candidate there's there's like the way it works is like you could max out like

two thousand dollar donations at a time and if you're trying to buy airtime, if you're buying airtime for someone that isn't the actual candidate, like if it's the candidate's campaign, not buying airtime, airtime's more expensive. So like things just become more expensive and a lot more like the federal elections, the regulations around it,

basically make it very complex to figure out how to do that. And even if they did, it would only be like a fraction of the money. So just in terms of that, like another campaign has to start from zero, which is like the hard part. Now I'm sure they could, I'm sure the other idea is like, well, they could refund a lot of donations and then ask those people to be like, now, can you send that money to this new campaign? That's like one idea that's floating out on how to do that. But again,

I don't, I don't know how, you know, actionable that is. You're telling me that just because she's a black woman, it costs more money for her to be on the air. No, no,

she's not a very specific white guy? No, no, no. I'm saying she's the only person because... I know, I know, I know. Yeah, yeah. She is the Biden-Harris campaign. So again, anyone else... Oh, so she's the only person who could...

She's the only one that can access Biden-Harris campaign donations that are, you know, they just raised like another hundred something million like the last quarter. So that all, like an airtime has been bought and things like that. So just from like the money part, because that's also a huge, huge part of this, especially when someone doesn't have the name recognition of being Biden or Trump. It's just another thing. I'm not saying that that means those are the only options we have.

But for a lot of people who are just like, well, why can't they just do this? I'm like, it's because the money thing is huge and that is so their fault that is so their fault for not dealing with it this is another like rgb yeah too little too late yeah yeah 100 and then like also with that like immunity shit that happened with the supreme court and biden's like i'm gonna respect the limits of power you're like um bro go dictator for a second man just a little bit a little fascism just yeah can can you like you know get ugly or some shit i don't know look it looks like we're on the ropes here we're doing dictatorship for good you know it's our side yeah exactly it's different it's not gonna it's not gonna

the position's not gonna corrupt you just we've reached the bottom baby we've reached the bottom all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to check in on rudy giuliani right after this somebody should i've been thinking about you I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Bo Boone County rebels with the image of the commission.

It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On segregation academies, when the civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot.

You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.

In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

And before we get to our next story, actually, Gary, I know you have to run. So I just wanted to say, obviously, thank you so much for coming on The Daily Psych. Thank you, guys. Polly V and I will talk about Rudy Giuliani. Do not worry. But Gary, where can people find you, follow you,

check the show out? And is there a tweet that you like or other work of media? Sure. Yeah. I mean, Instagram is really the best. I post jokes on Instagram all the time. So that's at Gary Veeder,

but my website is Gary Veeder.com. And I post all my tour dates and everything of all the shows that I'll be at on there at Gary Veeder.com. But yeah, I did want to stick around for the, I wish I could stick around for the Rudy Giuliani thing. No, all good, man, all good. Because I met him in the scam. My dad and I, we snuck into Gracie Mansion when he was mayor

and it was when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup. So it was a whole big thing of just another con. Like my dad completely got past their whole security detail. And then we went there and I was, again, I was playing, I have pictures with Andrew Giuliani too at the mayor's mansion. i played street hockey with him and this is when i was uh 10 years old but yeah so so that was another yeah scam goes and he's not talking to his dad either i read recently yeah probably not no like i think he really like something happened between andrew and rudy also yeah but i'll never forget that the picture of rudy giuliani and the one where

he's like just melting and it's just like oh yeah the hair dye it's just yeah uh it's hilarious we love it you two could start a podcast together you and andrew i know man yeah i mean yeah yeah yeah for sure but but thank you guys so much for uh for having me and i apologize that i gotta run no no no no no worries all good man uh well like i said uh i encourage everybody to check the show out and we'll talk to you soon, man. Thank you, guys. All right. See ya. See ya.

Oh, man. You didn't hit us with a tweet he liked. But you know what? Sometimes you're on the run. Very busy, man. Very busy, man. Well, Pallavi, then that leaves you and I to talk about Gary. No, Rudy Giuliani.

Gary Giuliani. I got confused because he said he was kicking it with Rudy Giuliani. Gary Giuliani. I got confused because he said he was kicking it with Andrew Giuliani. Gary Giuliani. Great guest, folks. Great having him on. A new character. Yeah. Just a bit of karma for Rudy Giuliani.

He has been officially disbarred in the state of New York following an appeals court ruling that cited, quote, the demonstrably false and misleading statements he made while acting as Trump's lawyer. First of all, I am surprised this didn't happen much sooner. I'm like, what? Like, why is this news? It shouldn't have just happened years ago. Because look, when these guys, they know how to maneuver the legal system they just appeal appeal appeal appeal

till they hit the road like the end of the road and it's like i'm sorry man this is this is not going to work for you you are at the four seasons hotel four seasons landscaping shout out shout out anybody who bought that shirt in 2019 well because also because also like, too, if you think about some of the other Kraken lawyers from that just wacky period between the election and the certification, like those people got disbarred also somewhat quickly. Like so Rudy was sort of one of the last ones to fall. But anyway, it is so wild to like not Rudy, but like anyone on the Trump train to like sacrifice your career like that for that man. You know what I mean? I can't imagine loving anyone that much to be like, let me just get my ass disbarred. Hell no.

I'm so selfish. I'm like, well, what's my risk? Wait, I could lose all my shit for that? For you? Hell no. But I get also, too, a lot of people, if they live in this fantasy world, it's like, well, if I get close enough, then the president will help me out of whatever i need to be helped out of and then i won't be disbarred or something yeah and look at steve bannon who went to jail monday and look at rudy

and everybody else like it's he's not gonna save y'all okay uh but rudy responded to the news by just just attacking the judicial system uh and said it was a like a communist dictatorship. And that's what's going on. Not because I was lying so terribly with my words and also with my scalp products. Unlike my capitalist dictatorship, which is completely different. Yeah. At least a few people get really rich in that one. But yeah, the other thing too is, I don't know if you remember, he was like selling coffee to try and like raise funds after like he owes like $148 million

in a defamation lawsuit. He's like- Wait, was he also selling like slippers or something? I feel like, wasn't that a thing where he was selling like a bunch of different things, right? I mean, wait, slippers? Now I gotta look at this is that giuliani or was that somebody else my pillow slippers oh maybe it was that this was like two years ago it says july 1st 2022 selling sandals oh my god christ so yeah the grifting was also continues like he's like

this is my favorite coffee you're gonna love it too i'm rudy giuliani this is the best cup of coffee i've ever had in my life and you can you can guarantee it because i'm a liar uh it turns out someone did a little digging on like trying to find out who exactly because he's like it's organic and we're like i thought that's like woke to you guys like isn't that the last thing you'd want is to name check that it's organic? People found out that the person behind it is Darren Don Pablo Burke of Burke Brands and Don Pablo Coffee in Miami, Florida. And there's a little interesting wrinkle in the story because that company, Burke Brands, they are also bankrupt. They filed for bankruptcy in December of 2022. Okay, but Giuliani doesn't work for anyone who isn't technically bankrupt, at least once. That is true. Yeah. Either morally or

financially. Bankruptcy has to be part of it. Yeah, truly. That's the only way. It's the only way. I really do want an entire breakdown of everything Rudy Giuliani drinks and eats, and then I want to avoid it. You know what I mean? Like I would go for, I would pay money for that. I think, I think,

you know, I think between our, like, uh, our, our, our genes, we got a lot of,

we got a good momentum going. You know what I mean? Okay. Do people live in your family live pretty long? Yeah. Pretty long. I like, uh,

I thought, like, I thought and like i thought you were talking about like uh what black don't crack and brown don't frown but i'm not talking about our skin obviously i don't want to make people upset with this this skin is you know it's tighter than a trampoline but you can break a kid's arm off of it. No. I'm trying to do a backflip. Yeah. But Indian people, we live long,

but like we, our skin is good until we're like 60 or 70 and then everything drops. We're just like, waiting to exhale moment. Okay. Okay. Everybody relax. You're retired now.

Hopefully we will have her on the show soon. You can find me at miles of gray on Twitter and Instagram, a tweet. I like a couple of tweets at Strauss. I Nader tweeted. Do you think I can ask my law school for a refund? Because like, there is no law anymore. I think fair. No, but you also don't have to pay those loans. Cause what are they going to do?

Yeah. Well, yeah. Who knows? Somehow they're like, we are really good at enforcing people's debts. I mean, that is one thing that this country excels at. One of our favorites from the show, AtRoyWoodJr tweeted, I'm not trying to tell you young brothers how to sell your demo tapes, but those people charging their Teslala in public can't go

one of these like old sort of like early aughts Groover kind of bands that I would like listen to all the time. And I was playing it for the baby because I just want to put something on that like I could sort of bop to

without listening to. Actually, to be honest, I really don't play much like intended for children, kid music. I don't know if that's bad. I think it's fine. It's usually just like music. It's music.

Have you heard the kids, Bob version of not like us? Yes. That one, that is that it did a comedian do that or was that was actually because I saw the video and I was like, this is crazy, but I would not put it past them.

Yeah. That the lyrics are pretty pretty good oh yeah someone says it's a kids bop parody but it's still on point like the lyrics and just like the syllable count to really get it

as close to the source material I think is commendable that's how great of an artist Kendrick is you know he makes music for everybody except Drake everyone but a song I want to write out that's how great of an artist kendrick is you know he makes music for everybody except everyone um but the song i want to write out on is this track with zero seven plus another artist i like jose gonzalez and it's called futures just like a super cool groovy track and jose gonzalez's voice is super soothing and i think you'll enjoy it people prepare to probably be surrounded by

fireworks like we are in la but that's every day pretty much in la depending on where you live the fireworks like i always say they start on january 1st and they end on january 1st every year yeah the entire unless you live in some lame neighborhood dude where you live yeah they're like look you need but it's my pets man i gotta yeah i gotta get them on this fucking gabapentin shit or whatever it's really sad that's the part like i wish you know wasn't happening but it's the upsetting of my pets is really too much we should be able to set off like rival fireworks to freak out the people who do it i feel like yeah or like if you do it you have to
