And it is Thursday, February 29th, 2024. February 29th. But there's no such thing as February 29th, Miles. No. I will not acknowledge it.

But I guess this National Day calendar will. It's also National Toast Day. Damn, toast is getting the short shrift. It's the last Thursday in February. So it'sast Day. Damn, toast is getting the short shrift. It's the last Thursday in February. Oh, okay. So it's not okay. Here's one that is. National Time Refund Day.

H&R Block. i block h and i get the fuck out of here helping me do my complicated taxes or whatever yeah we don't get paid today nationally it's nationally your company is probably not paying you today if you're on salary so what you yeah we'll get to it all right well this episode, this episode's ending. Yeah, so that's been nice. Fuck off. My name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Aw, naw, Fontanelle, boy, y'all went up and touched it.

Aw, naw, Fontanelle, boy, y'all went up and touched it. Aw, naw, Fontanelle, boy, y'all went up and touched it. Y'all went up and touched it, man. Y'all went up and touched it. That is courtesy of Fighter of the Nightman in reference to the fact that the fontanelle, the beautifully named part of the baby head that isn't formed yet on baby, gives me the call of the void. Just don't bring that baby around me until it's gold.

I got to know. Lest I pick that baby's head up like a bowling ball with my thumb. Like that's, there's something that just makes me want to Tom thumb that baby's head. Turn this kid into a finger puppet. I don't agree with it. I won't do it, but there will be something in some electricity coursing through my nerves

telling me to do that shit. I feel like that's like a thing a four-year-old could. Like, I remember like in Japan, there's like shoji screens, like the white paper screens that you feel like. And it's really delicate. And I was always told it's really don't put your fingers in it because you'll break it. First thing I did was went right through. Push right through that shit. Yeah.

I feel like as a kid, I wouldn't know. And it would probably just be, you know, I don't know. You ever see a rotten spot on an apple and just push your thumb right in there. Nah,

I get that. Actually grosses me out. Yeah, it is gross. That's fucking disgusting. And I can't stop. Can't help myself. Focus.

I like to eat that part first. And what is a baby's skull, but a rotten apple. Thank you. I know everyone is afraid to say it. Goo coming out. There's probably a worm in there somewhere. You know, they don't give a fuck.

I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Yes, Miles Gray, the Lord of Lancashire. The Shogun with no gun. It's Miles Gray. And I was just thinking of that show, Sh Shogun that's about to come on Fox. That's supposed to be an epic Japanese Shogun tale. So, yeah. Anyway.

That was one of those novels my dad was like, oh, man. Yeah. This book, man. That is a real dad ass book. Yeah. That and Dune. Oh, my God. This is a real dad-ass book. That and Dune. This is a big moment for my dad. My dad loved Dune and Shogun.

Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, so it's, dude, all praise to your dad, man. All praise. He's living the dream. I love that. I love that. Well, Miles.

Yeah. By the way, Shogun, both of those things getting great reviews. Yeah. Oh, Dune 2? D, Shogun, both of those things getting great reviews. Like, yeah. Oh, June two, two, two,

two, two, two. Wow. Dune two, two is getting good reviews. There was something about like the interesting, like,

uh, fawning over like Islamic sort of aesthetic that's in Dune two. That was, people were like, Oh, this is, this is something to keep an eye on. Yeah.

Yeah. I love an Islamic aesthetic. Yeah, well, we all do without, you know, acknowledging it or other people. But purely aesthetic. Keep that shit aesthetic only. No thematic elements. Please no thematic elements.

I like the robes. I like you to pastiche without any intellectual content. Thank you very much. When's Dune 2 come out, too? Dune 2 is coming out in March, I think. It's in a matter of weeks, I believe. No way to know.

I can tell our guest is actually looking it up. It's tomorrow. It's tomorrow. Cool, cool, cool. It's today, I think, actually. Cool, cool, cool. It's today, I think, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So it actually doesn't come out.

It only comes out once every four years. Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very talented writer, stand-up comedian, podcast host of the Bechdel cast, which takes down the patriarchy one movie at a time. They also happen to have a master's degree in film. I don't know, ever heard of it? Ever heard of film? I don't know if we'll mention it, but yeah, it's true. Have you ever heard of film? Master's.

They also have the most anagrammable name in the English language. Yeah. So, you know, they might be known to you as Latin Dancer UTI, but to us, they will always be Nine Tetrach, you know they might be known to you as latin dancer uti but to us they will always be nine titrac aka caitlin durant thank you for coming on uh are you uh what what movie are you hyped for this that's about to come out soon not d Dune 2. Not Dune 2. Not Dune 2 Others as they would have done to you. Dune 2 You.

I tried to watch the first one. I found it a little slow, a little boring. Sorry, everybody. Sorry, not sorry. But, uh, I mean, I'll eventually see both. I think they've re-released Dune 1 in theaters,

and I think I just need to go and plant my ass there and sit through it. Oh, so you can't change the channel? Yeah, if you do it at home. Yeah, so I can't look at my phone or get up and do something else. Yeah. So I'm going to do that, and then maybe I'll see Dune 2. I don't know, but I'm not that hyped for it. What am I excited for?

Oh, shit. What is even coming out? Have we talked about Wonka yet? I feel like we have. Oh, I think we did. Maybe. But you are one of the foremost Paddington and Paddington 2 scholars. Thank you. scholars and thank you and wonka obviously from from the mind from the sick twisted mind that brought you paddington to comes wonka what did you think um i didn't think it was good oh easy

i thought yeah take that take that no i thought it was it needed like at least more like two to three more drafts of the script oh two to three more adorable paddington bears yeah let's put some more paddingtons in there could have hired someone to do a couple passes on that maybe someone with a master's degree that's what i'm saying someone who the academic world has put their minds together and said, well, this is a master. Right. Oh, yeah. Right. Right.

So they missed that opportunity. As far as what am I excited about? What is coming out? A Venom movie? No, thanks. If you have to rack your brain, then there's nothing that I think could. Joker 2. French words.

then there's nothing that I think could. Oh, Joker 2. French words. What did you think, Caitlin, of the Glasgow, Scotland experience known as Willie's Chocolate Experience? Did you see that? Did you see that? No.

Wait, what? You gotta check it out. Someone did like a janky bait-and-switch sort of like pop-up museum exhibit for like kids in Glasgow. And it was supposed to be willy wonka themed and it was absolute trash garbage nothing festival with a box of literal there's a box of spoons inexplicably like on the ground is i guess it was like if it was like a fire fest was yeah a chocolate exhibition it was like if the characters from Trainspotting tried to put on

an experience. It was kind of the feeling. Okay, okay. Well, that would explain the spoons. Because don't you heat up heroin in a spoon? They had sheets nailed to the wall that had a cupcake painted on them

and looked like they were from the late 80s. Damn. It wasn't great. I guess a lot of kids were crying, too. But here, wait, let me show you some of the pictures because I think it's worth showing you what was promised and what was delivered. I know we talked about this last episode,

but I can't stop talking about it. These are the AI images they made to sell tickets, right? Looks fun. Okay. You're like, oh, okay, there'll be cat dictating. That one's clearly a fun. They'll be cat-dicating. They'll be carchy tons and sweet teats. And then this is what they got. Oh no.

I would cry too. Look at that Oompa. Look at this Oompa Loompa. The Oompa Loompa is a woman in a green wig at a smoky bar whose eyes look like they can barely open their eyes. Well, that's going to tie back to my, when we get there, my recent internet search. Oh, shit. It's going to tie all together.

We can't wait. God damn. All right. Well, we are going to get to know you a little bit better and ask you what your internet search is etc but before we do that just a just a little tease this is what we call in the industry a tease to tell you what we're gonna be talking about later on we're gonna be talking about this clown trump the orange buffoon this fucking guy uh haven't heard that he's he got he's in a lot of debt we're actually really worried about it so we'll talk about that we'll talk about leap day being surprisingly controversial

i personally think it is a massive missed opportunity for scammers at this point i don't know we'll have to see what scammers do this year but it feels like they should be exploiting this because Leap Day does occupy this magical place in our imagination where we're like, yeah, no, Leap Day, you can't sign a contract on Leap Day. Then that contract gonna be for 20 years. All of that, plenty more. But first, Kalen Durante, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Okay, it's a series of searches. It's not just one search. I was going on an adventure. Yeah, you're on a journey. That's right. I am going to Europe to brag. No, no. Truly brag. Not a fake brag at all.

You don't say that to impress us. You say that to impress upon us that you are experiencing a certain level of success. And I think that's important. Yes. Yes. Thank you. That's a Tony Robbins quote. Is that really?

He says that shit all the time. He's like, and I don't say that to impress you a Tony Robbins quote. Is that really? He says that shit all the time. He's like, and I don't say that to impress you. I say that to impress upon you. You're like, wow. Cool shithead rhetoric. Love shithead rhetoric. Anyway. So you're doing some searches about old Europa.

Yeah, because I'm going on tour. I'm doing some stand-up comedy. And there's also a Bechdelcast tour. So everyone should come to those shows. But what I searched for was themed bars and or restaurants in the following cities. Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, and Dublin. Because I love a themed bar. And I want to go to them and see what they're like.

In other countries. Did you find anything? Did that render any results? Not as much as you would think. So I'm really hoping for the listeners to come through. Yeah, right. Any recommendations. For example, like when I went to Brussels a few years ago, there's a a titanic themed restaurant wow and that's exactly what i'm talking about right there was a like

80s movie themed bar in barcelona that i went to and like all the drinks were named after like characters from terminator or back to the future and j Jones and things like that. There's also a VHS copy of Titanic just sitting on the shelf of the bar. These are the places that I need to go to. This feels a little like the Glasgow Willy Wonka chocolate experience. Just a TV

VHS of Titanic. This movie came out close to the 80s. Not even. You're going to lose tape so that's why it ties back where you know i'm afraid i'll end up in some like because like the titanic themed restaurant in in brussels for example was the charlie chocolate factory willy wonka glasgow scotland thing where it was was not very well executed.

That's also fun. I love that too. Exactly. The hokey or the better. I just want a hokey, silly theme anywhere I'm going. I wonder, in Paris,

it feels like the place is like, this is not Disneyland. You don't have Seam bars, but you do. We have this home of taste and style. Wildly offensive, Miles. Hey, that's me. Last time I was there, I asked if they had a theme bar. That's what they hit me with.

But I feel like also, as an American, you'd go to a bistro in Paris. I love this Euro-themed bar. I was going to recommend the Irish pubs in Dublin. They have so many good themed bars. Just Irish bars. That's what kept coming up when it was

themed bar in Copenhagen. It would be like, here's this Irish themed pub. That's not what I'm talking about. Get the fuck out of here. When you go to Europe, there's always a place for UK people to pub and i'm like that's not what i'm talking about that's the thing that i'm out of here yeah when you go to europe there's always a place for like uk people to feel comfortable in whatever country you are there's like always like a pub for expats somewhere like no matter where you are

it's like staying away from those yeah yeah but hey dublin i the one thing so live music at a bar in the u.s generally a bad time generally a guy his acoustic guitar and a story to tell highly depending on the city depends on the city yeah dublin is it's like these little you know a lot of fiddles a lot of like string instruments i can't really identify and they just like get up there and kind of jam together and it it's always a good time. I lived there for a semester. Oh, whoa. Had a blast every time there was live music. A Baja Blast?

I did have a Baja Blast. Okay. Good to know. Good to know. Berlin, I feel like, is its own like theme. Like it's just, I don't know. I feel like everything is John Wick 4 themed. I have a Producer Bay. I don't know. I feel like everything is John Wick 4 themed. I have a producer bae.

Producer bae might know. Yeah, you should talk to our super producer bae about Berlin. Yeah. They will tell you about restaurants and bars that you might not be able to get into. You probably will. Whenever bae talks about Berlin, it's like, y'all are too fucking square to get into this spot. I was partying with a prime minister and a DJ dj on heroin i was like what how i want to go there yeah what is something caitlin you think is underrated i think that massage guns are underrated i feel like people

don't talk about them i just got one it's changing my life are you you do a lot of like you do a crossfit or something or is this just yeah i'm into crossfit high performance athlete now i gotta get all that lactic you rolling too you rolling you foam rolling i do have a foam roller oh wow but i don't use it because it's hard and i don't know it hurts yeah the foam is not as foamy as i would expect for from foam rollers no hard and mean yeah it's really cruel to you and you have to move your body still yeah whereas a massage gun yeah you just kind of sit there and it does all the work did you have like a specific problem area that inspired it or like some the way i got into one

i don't have one but i remember i bought i kept borrowing my friends once they let me use it once my hey can i borrow this for like three months three years but yeah what was your journey to the to the fair you got into one and then one got into you exactly man yeah that's right no i just you know i not to try to impress you or impress upon you again, but yeah, I work out. But also my body is rapidly aging and deteriorating, so it hurts a lot to exercise. So my back and my hips and my legs and, you know, kind of everything just hurts all the time i get that yeah well shout out to massage guns those things are shout out to everything guns right i mean

yeah show guns massage guns just not the regular guns yeah exactly uh confetti guns but have you ever seen one of those t--shirt guns? T-shirt guns, yeah. Like the guns. I've been having this conversation because like my children are obsessed with military things. But, you know, they are not obsessed with people dying. Yeah, they're just really into like the. Army man phase. Army, yeah, they're going through army man phase.

They like the weapons. They like the, man phase army yeah they're going through army man phase they like the weapons they like the you know helicopters but they don't want to kill people so we're like why don't we just like change it to be like water gun fights or like something strategic that we could just like get it you know get it over with yeah do do a paintball gun because guns are great except for the fact that they kill people they're but they're real fun they really they look real fun on tv they look real cool i was obsessed with them when oh you're trying to reroute like reroute the what the flood to go into a different plane and not all in on being like what oh like what cat what caliber gun do

you have dad you're like wait yo how do you know this i don't know if is that possible because like my my mom was the same way because like japan there's no guns at all and like i came home like drawing pictures of guns and shit and being like do we have a gun how come we don't have a gun yeah and uh my dad always say like well if you have a gun you're inviting gun problems into the house. And I was like, oh, that's very Zen. Shout out to you. He's like, that's what we got this bad.

I've used that on my kids. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know, like in American culture, I feel like it's just unavoidable on some level. Like just guns are so normal. Yeah. I used it on my kids and my kids called it a bitch move. Oh, when you said guns create gun problems. Oh, dad, that sounds like a bitch move to me.

Wow. You a mark-ass. Okay. Dad, you sound like a mark-ass buster. I believe. Yeah. Caitlin, what is something you think is overrated? I might have said this before and I am running

out of thoughts and opinions also because my brain along with the rest of my body is deteriorating. Have you done the massage gun on your brain? Oh, on your temple. Just read a little intense. Just like chatter all my teeth and just break them. Bite my tongue off. You know. Something I think is overrated is soup.

Just in general. Soup. Someone. Who was. I feel like two weeks ago someone came in. Hot soup was overrated. Yeah. Yeah.

Same. Yeah. Yeah. And we're talking about. This is pretty. Is it filling or not? Yeah. So.

One person came in. I forget who. So that forgive me me they're overrated was soup because it wasn't filling that you would have to drink or eat a lot of the soup for it to feel like a meal now that's right what do you say to that i know i agree because this is soup is my overrate i think it's i think it's hot salty water with some shit in it like i don't like oh okay hey can i get some hot salty water with some shit in it thank you yeah you mean i'm gonna heat up this whatever i just scoop out of the toilet i just think it's a racket i don't like broth yeah there's just i i find it to be a frustrating meal to eat.

I don't think it's filling. I think broth is a racket. I do like a tomato bisque. I'll give soup that. You're saying it's underrated? Over, Miles. We're on the over. The massage gun was underrated.

Dude, my brain is racking up tears. Dude, I'm telling you, the massage gun to the temple, aka the hard reset, that is... I learned about it on the Huberman lab. Factory reset on your fucking brain. Yeah, man. Just gotta... Oh, my...

Damn, what is wrong with me? Sorry. Yeah. We had someone who said it was overrated. You should fight them. Yeah. My god. Sorry. Yeah. We had someone who said it was overrated. You should fight them. Yeah. My God. Sorry. My brain. It's... Was it Mort Burke, maybe?

I think it might have been Mort Burke. Was it Mort? Or Jody Avergad. I think it was last week. It was one of those fellas. I have a new best friend. Anytime my friends are like, let's go get some soup. I'm like, to what end? You have a new best friend because yes yeah every anytime my friends are like let's go get some soup i'm like to what end you're you have a very specific group of friends though i've never had a friend come or maybe you just have more friends than me but i've never had a friend

suggest we go get soup i've done that i don't know i've just said you have well here's the thing i like the lobster bisque at hamburger hamlet in the valley i would always go there like that was like my fancy meal i remember like when i was but do you say let's go get hamburger hamlet or do you say no let's go get bisque and they're like what and i remember i it gave me the worst gas it's like to to this day my friends remember we call it hamburger hamlet when i fart really loud because it was so intense. But I haven't had it since, to be honest. Let's take a little trip down to Biscayne Bay.

Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. And then you do a thing. You gesture with your hands like you're doing a Coke reference. Yeah. But I really mean, are you doing a line? No, I'm eating lobster yeah

We're all dealing with something today. Well, Caitlin, great getting to know you better in that segment. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow, because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit, because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history.

Miles, we're in the news one. Check us out. Miles and Jack are my boosties. Okay. Oh, no. If you like nine-day fancy, how you gonna get this about? Nine-day fancy?

Yeah. Sorry, where am I? Nine-day fancy. So, Caitlin's overrated is Trump's debt. Yes. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Yeah. I love soup now, actually. Wow. The news story is soup. Yeah. And the overrated is Donald Trump got debt. Oh, man. Okay.

That's right. I know where we are now. We're in the news, Miles. Yes. And the news is this Trump guy. Yeah. I don't have as much money as usually. I mean, the thing is, I know when the like all these judgments were passed down and we're like, oh, shit, that's a lot of money. You're like, all right, he'll figure something out. But like when you kind of dig into the amount of money, it's it's pretty mind boggling. it's it's pretty mind-boggling and obviously like the main focus for the last few weeks has been on the primary uh and whether or not Nikki Haley will put a dent in that obviously it doesn't look

that way at all does not look that but his legal bills are definitely where it's just sort of time I mean I've I've said the sums of money in passing when we've talked about these stories but last week right his lawyers tried to delay to delay the bond payment while he appeals the judgment against him in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. And his lawyers are like, dude, your honor, here's the deal. She's even said herself, like, she's not pressed for cash. And also, Donald Trump is so rich, dude, he shouldn't even have to put the money up. That's how rich he is. You know he's good for it.

You know he's good for it the old you know he's good for it they they really just said as established and you know he's good for it v virginia 1963 sorry what did you say but like there was they essentially the argument was no need to secure the bond because he is already so rich the judge basically said fuck off and denied the motion but like new york's laws right or make it especially hard for trump to do this like his usual bullshit maneuvers as he tries to appeal uh quote under new york law if a person wants to appeal a civil case ruling they must first post a bond equal to 110 percent of the judgment in this case trump would have to pay 91.63 million in order to appeal

the Carroll ruling. This also means that with interest in the civil fraud trial, Trump would owe over $464 million. That's a lot of money for somebody who cashes checks for 25 cents. Yeah. And obviously, his supporters that we talked about the go fund me right at the time like it got to maybe like 600 000 after like the first like two days or so because they were trying to raise the like 355 million for the initial ruling against him like 600 000 on a go fund me is a lot like that's pretty's pretty good. Well, hey, hold on. By GoFundMe standards. Hold on to your collective butts, because they're only at about $1.2 million right now. And the momentum has clearly faded over the last few days. Like, they've only been able to cobble together, like, $100,000 every two and a half days or something now.

So, it's like, what does he do, right? His, like, his formal option, like, a normal person would maybe go to a bonding company. Like a bonding company like would be like they would put up the money for him. But since he is in trouble already for inflating his assets and lying about what he has, it doesn't seem like any bonding company with their shit together would get like be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. The guy who lies about what he's got. What do you need? Four hundred sixty four million. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. The guy who lies about what he's got. What do you need? Four hundred sixty four million. Yeah. Let's let's take a chance on that. And even if he was able to, like, cobble it, all this money together, like at the peak of his powers in 2020, the most he raised in a month from supporters was one hundred seventy million, which I'm like saying that's all he raised. But that's startling. That was right after the election was under under attack from the big lie and the attack the big steal so i mean that was i think they he cleaned him out they were given all they

could at that point yeah yeah he was like apparently um like if you look at up the like the money right now he would need to 3x that shit to be able to get through this because you know there's like a 30-day period in which he like has to pay this money the mainstream media from everything i'm reading the the sort of position they're taking is like it's looking pretty bad it looks like this is this might be it for him financially but like i don't know what does that mean will that like affect his ability to run for president or win president? I mean, on some level, right? Because they say he's got like a few hundred million potentially in cash, but a lot of his businesses require cash to run.

So it's like if you if you vaporize all that liquidity, then like it's just going to create a domino effect for all these other businesses. So does he have to sell a ton of shit? What is going to create a domino effect for all these other businesses so does he have to sell a ton of shit what is going to happen i'd like and we've already seen that like the rnc also it's not like a foregone conclusion that they're gonna pay his legal bill bills and plus they only have eight million dollars in the in the bank so that ain't doing much so i don't know all the legal ins and outs i don't know if like some coke funded Koch brothers network comes through to put the money up. But like that doesn't seem like that's money well spent at all.

Right. Or like Mohammed bin Salman through like intermediaries buy some property for like an inflated price to give them the cash. That seems likely. That feels like the only way in my mind. But again, I don't know like how it's being monitored, where the money comes from. And then if that creates more scrutiny on a business whatever but that's that's sort of the position like i feel like we can add this to the list of things that were like really bad in his first term and would be like way worse in the second term like obviously there's all the stuff

that's like bad on purpose like what as part of, like, he's going to try and institute a dictatorship and, you know, just bring on full fascism and, like, won't give a fuck what the mainstream media says. All that stuff is going to be way worse. But there's also, like, him being, like, really and, like, hurting for money. and like hurting for money. And, you know, we saw during the first administration that he was open to influence from countries spending money at his hotels. And Kushner like had all sorts of shady dealings with,

you know, Saudi Arabia. Like it's, it just feels like this will be comically just people being able to purchase influence at a level that I don't know. It's like we'll make a mockery of the U.S. in a way that I don't think people are fully prepared for. Yeah, it's yeah, I don't know. I guess maybe the Trump. It's just like it's just weird because we're so used to being like he's gonna fuck some some fucking weirdo with a billion dollars is gonna step in but that's a that feels likely because

someone's like look it's a good investment i guess that doesn't necessarily mean he becomes president you're just helping him out of like this sort of civil judgment quagmire that he's in but again i don't know we just don't know and it's like that's what's so frustrating is that like any other time you're like oh you're fucked goodbye trump tower that's a wrap for you but so many people are interested in him being president outside of the united states for their own autocratic aims or their own selfish aims that like you can see what the appeal is but then do they think that's enough to get his loyalty i don't know i don't know man i don't know caitlin were you saying a weirdo with a billion dollars is your

long-term financial plan yeah yeah stepping in well i hope that one day becomes me yeah i'm the weirdo and you step into bail Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's exactly what would happen. JK! No, I... Rowling. A weirdo with a billion dollars. Yeah. Oh, man. I forgot that he had those hotels and Trump Tower and all that.

Because I was like, what are even his businesses these days? Does he still have that steak business? Oh, Trump steaks? So many of his businesses are him just licensing his name. So it's not like he could just sell all the buildings with his name on it. He just like licenses his name to like, and then gets a fee and gets a fee. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, but there are, they does have all those Trump properties though, that, that would potentially help. Right. But again,

yeah, that's, I mean, again yeah that's i mean that that's the wild thing too is even if all this money goes into it like that that really has the potential just hurt all the down ballot republican candidates to which i say great yeah yeah yeah leave them with with hoover flags uh in their pockets you guys remember that term oh yeah outturned pockets called those hoover flags because the depression that was good marketing by whoever was running against hoover yeah i mean being a dictator just like an open authoritarian dictator is good for business you know putin is secretly like the richest person in the world so there's a that's

another like way that the stakes of this election for him are just so high that like i feel like he's gonna be willing to do whatever it takes to oh this news just came in it said donald trump's lawyers told a new york appellate court wednesday that he's prepared to post a hundred million dollar bond to help the collection of his staggering civil fraud penalty arguing that provisions of the verdict make it impossible for the former president to secure a bond for the full amount the oh my god you're being so unfair oh my god i just lied and basically admitted a fraud and now i have to pay it's like ridiculous dude here's like a fraction of it serious right now what the fuck so we'll see yeah a judge hasn't ruled on that yet

but i don't know i feel like that's probably going to be a no for me dog uh from arthur engron yeah he does not seem to be that uh open to Trump's various Trump-eries. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break, and then we'll come back and we'll talk Leap Day. It's happening, folks. It's really happening. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of this right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay.

Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side

from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And it's weekday.

Find me on all the ad-based platforms at Miles and Tay. Miles. He's got his shirt half off for some reason. Do you want to get to know me a little bit better? Yeah. And this is where we get to know Caitlin a little bit better. Good day. Good to see you, Latin dancer Dracula.

Are you just drunk now? I don't know. It's not that deep. Maybe. Was it Leap Day? are you just drunk now i don't know maybe uh what is it leap day that oh that's what it probably sleep days it's like when it's a full moon but compounded by like four years worth of you oh four years worth of like it's like when it's a full moon and you wake up and start drinking right away yeah it's uh so of course leap day that special time when literally anything you do including murder is legal for 20 hours yeah 24 hours oh sorry that's the purge leap day is nothing oh

uh it isn't a holiday and the biggest event happening this year seems to be free guacamole at Chipotle. That's kind of a big deal, to be honest. That's a big deal. I mean, it's cute. They circle it. It says extra day. And it's free extra guacamole. I mean, guacamole at Chipotle was sort of like when I realized I was maybe going to enter the middle class.

When I could consistently be like, yeah, you know what? Why don't we get a couple guac on the side with that? A couple guac. A couple guac there, yep. I have a friend who works in an industry that is like... I do. He's Canadian, so you don't know. Okay, fine. But he was telling me that he was frantically trying to get a deal done yesterday

because his boss had told him that you can't sign a contract on leap day. Because then it's like, I don't know, because then it would be for four years or some shit. Well, like a one-year contract would be for four years. And then well like a one year yeah yeah it could be for four years the the boss was ultimately like ah guys my bad turns out that is incorrect but that's that's like y2k mentality exactly it is totally y2k mentality but there is just like a magic to this day in people's minds that i feel like scammers should really not be failing to exploit like i feel like most people would be like oh if i give you my bank account today you get me

like four times the money because sleep day they right the bank actually if you take out a bunch of money and put it in a shoebox the the bank actually can't charge you interest for another four years because it's leap day. You do need to give me that shoebox full of money. Take loans out. Take loans out today. That's how Trump is going to get his money to pay off his debts. I know. Could you imagine?

He's like, well, I paid $100 million on leap day. So that's times four. That's $400. A day named for the one thing that i can't physically do leap you can barely stand up yeah because he's old anyway uh there so have you seen this have you heard this there's 365 days of the year okay but it takes the Earth 365.24219 days to orbit the sun. So leap day kind of keeps us more in sync with the sun, essentially. But it's, I don't know.

Yeah. I guess it would fuck us up over a longer period, like after decades. Well, so here's what you didn't know. Okay. They actually, so it's actually approximately 11 minutes off. So the Gregorian calendar did some confusing math to fix this. And it is centennial years, which aren't divisible by 400, keep a regular 365 day cycle so the year 2000 had 360 like had a leap year but the year i think we all remember the year 1900 who couldn't forget did not have a leap day so because it's not

divisible by 400 wait exactly yeah if it's i'm not centennial years, not divisible by 400. Yeah, you can find them on all the app-based platforms at Miles of Grey. 400. Wait, I don't understand that. Oh, so it's basically, okay, because it's 11 minutes rather than a quarter of a day. Yes. That's for sure. There's just one year like every 400 that doesn't, that would normally be a leap day. That's they, there's just one year, like every 400 that, uh,

doesn't, that would normally be a leap day. That is not. So I think, I think that counts for 2,100 will not be a, uh, leap day. I sucks for them.

Sucks for you guys. I don't know. I plan on being 116. Yeah. Yeah. I think we can do it you know god i what's that look like things are getting only things are only getting better and better yeah things are pretty good right now yeah yeah um do you know anyone whose birthday is a leap day yep i know like friends of friends i don't i don't know anyone personally miles you know someone they're turning 10 years old today do they like turn 40 do they go big no i remember we talked

about this i think that they're gonna have like a kid's birthday party because they're only 10 years old that's amazing there's someone i used to work with who in a group you know how like you kind of have like those ex-co-workers that you have like a group thread with every now and then. I don't know how many, how many of y'all keep in touch with ex-co-workers like that. But there's one that goes dormant, like stays dormant for maybe two months at a time. And then some interesting factoid comes out. And this one was, it's a 10th birthday for a leap year. And we're like, oh, okay, cool. have the birthday for a leap year. And we're like, oh, okay, cool. I'm just gonna put this out there. For people who don't have personalities, this is a great lie to make up about yourself. Oh, yeah. You're like, yeah, I'm born

on leap day, and that's the memorable thing about me that will make you remember me. You know what I would do? What? I'd be like, show me your ID. I don't believe you. God damn it. And you're the reason that those of us with bad personalities can never get away with this shit this is why i'm red pilled because i thought with this one simple

trick i'd have a great opener at a bar honestly singles that's on zeitgang uh just just go out there go go say today's your birthday and just see what that what happens yeah everyone is gonna ask for an id but then do you i i didn't i'm gonna have to ask about i mean yeah if that's your legal birthday then why would they be like no sorry we're gonna have to say it's the 28th is there a market out there for fake ids for like adults yeah a 40-old buying a fake ID. Yeah, they're for unsavory criminal characters. But yeah, there is a market for fake IDs for adults. Yeah, I guess there is, yeah. Yeah, it's not like what used to go to...

For Jason Bourne. Yeah, in LA, we used to have to go to MacArthur Park, and there was always somebody out there who was hawking IDs back in the day. But anyway. MacArthur Park. That place is like a... You feel like you're in a movie whenever you're at macarthur park oh yeah yeah and not one of the good ones yeah or depending

i don't know if you like dark futuristic thrillers about crime yeah but yeah i mean so landing in february was pretty much arbitrary the romans considered it an unlucky month and because it only had 28 days they just shoved it into February. But there's this quote from this that I'm trying to make from this NPR article about this. I'm trying to make sense of this. Because February only had 28 days to begin with, they just shoved it into February. The leap day used to be on the 24th. What could that possibly mean?

What could that mean? The 24th of what? So did they just do the 24th twice? Oh. Because otherwise you still have the 29th, but you have to be like, but actually the 24th was the leap day. The 29th

is not the leap day. The 24th is the one. Or on other months, other years, do you just not have the 29th is not the leap day the 24th is the one or like on other months other years do you just not have the 24th you just skip the day the 24th day it's just like really really bad writing by npr fuck npr as i always say what i think they should do is no more february 29th let's have like may 32nd yeah thank you so that is actually a movement that is uh being put together so it's kind of funny a uk man started an online petition to put leap day in june because who the hell wants more fe? Chris Snowden, 47, first had the idea. What's that? Punxsutawney Phil wants more February.

That's right. And only Punxsutawney Phil. And Jesus, keep letting that guy get his way. But he had these two ideas right next to each other. First, he had the idea when he when he realized leap day being on february 29th is arbitrary right then he said but the date has to be in june since july and august don't both have 31 days but like he's so he gets that it's totally arbitrary what day is on but he's also like we need an extra day in j June because June has good weather. As though putting an extra day in June just takes one day out of February weather and puts an extra day of June weather.

That just adds to the number of good weather days go up for the year. Also, Y2K logic. Yeah, also really strong Y2K logic. Yeah. Yeah, I love it. I do think probably from a mental, like just a mental perspective, I would appreciate an extra day of June. Yeah. Well, because it just like, oh, yeah, summer because we're stupid.

We're like, dude, that means more summer. Yes. It's arbitrary also. And you probably you're not going to like think back and be like, man, I'm so glad we had that extra day in June. and you probably you're not going to like think back and be like man i'm so glad we had that extra day in june but i think to caitlin's point i think it's funnier to have a new kind of day we've never said like there is no 30 second yeah so let's fucking be that's a movie i'm gonna write 30 seconds to mars yes uh-huh may 30 seconds to mars yeah starringarring Jared Leto. Yeah. Or not.

But hey, look, we can try that. Yeah. That's the sequel to May 32nd. May 32nd. To Mars. Yeah. Like Alien Aliens. Oh.

And Twister Twisters. Oh, Twisters. Oh, Twisters. Yeah, Twisters. Twisters. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. What if there were multiple Twisters? Oh, there were in the first movie?

Well, shut the fuck up. But yeah, so I mean, another reason to put it in the summer is that we are not getting paid. If you're salaried, you're essentially working an extra day for free while employers collectively. So overall, this saves employers billions of dollars billions and it loses people money like can i can i can we sue like i feel like we should be able to right isn't that bullshit on some level they're generating revenue on that extra day but not paying labor, any extra labor. Uh-oh, iHeart, somebody got smarter. Coming for that. Where's my 29th money?

That's right. Or I'll be like, all right, or just give me an extra day in May. Yeah, or just like give us off on Leap Day. Like Leap Day should be a day when all all bets are off including like work like an international day of rest like it's like yo bro you know like just you don't have to do nothing just because it's the 29th if nobody getting paid nobody got to work general strike day you know why not why not do a general strike well what that is coming... Isn't that when the... 2028?

Isn't that when they're looking at it? The general strike? Yeah. Or is that 2026? I don't know. I think it is 2028. Because yeah, May... Oh my God, exactly.

May 2028, because that's when a lot of different union contracts are up. There we go. Yeah, so that could be... Damn. May 32nd, 2028. May 32nd, 2028. There we go. Yeah, so that could be, damn. May 32nd, 2028. May 32nd, 2028, it's happening.

Oh, man. Shut it down. We are the organizers of this. Yeah. There's all sorts of boring people with big ideas about how to reform the calendar. There's one that's like, okay, so hear me out. We're going to do a four quarter 30 30 31

pattern uh then a leap week at the end of december every five or six years and it's like that sounds like a fucking nightmare man like that so you're asking you a four quarter 30 30 31 pattern is that like a so you're gonna do hair loss uh you're gonna do a 30 in January, a 30 in February a 31 in March moving on, 30 in April 30 in May, 31 in June and then you just carry all those days into a leap week

at the end of December I mean I'm kind of all for like weird calendar like a leap week would be fun like at the end of December every 5 or 6 then you would have like it's december 38th you know and that would probably that would be able to like stick that into like some sort of time off or something but right well now i'm thinking of why stop at leap week

leap year could literally mean a whole year to fuck off every so what would that be 365 days times four but it's that many years yeah yeah so every 1200 years there's an extra year yeah i don't know if that math is right and i don't know how i came up but i like yeah but it would be something like that where you would have a if you banked up a whole day a year's worth of leap days but then fuck the whole fucking because then at that point wouldn't we be so far off from where we are in relation to the sun or like june would feel like fucking december yeah we're like y'all we might need to go back we might need to fucking reset this but we're already getting that from climate change so you know damn yeah damn all right but i guess like timekeeping is

constantly being tinkered with in 2022 governments voted to scrap leap seconds which adds seconds to the clock to keep in sync with earth's rotation which was causing big problems for tech companies. So they're getting rid of leap seconds, which nobody was aware even existed. They'll be getting rid of those in 2035. But then that pissed off the UK and Russia, whose satellites are all based around that leap second system. But yeah, we've had leap seconds since 1972. So it's all very confusing. Maybe we just keep the calendar the way it is, but compensate people for working an extra day

with a form of payment that isn't guacamole. Well, speak for yourself. I'll take the guac. I'll take guacamole and payment for the extra day. Well, let's not try and get more than we're owed. You know, that's what I say. Let's just be happy for the guacamole. Let's be happy for it.

Be complacent. Yes. Have you tasted their chips? They have little squirts of lime on them. The company sent us these little stress balls, too. Those are cool. And the salt sticks to the lime. I really do fuck with Chipotle's chips.

Every once in a while, you get one that's so good. So limey. So limey, so salty. Because the lime, the salt does stick to the lime, as mentioned. As you FaceTime me every time when you go to Chipotle. Look, dude. Look, look, look. This one. This one. No, that wasn't it.

Oh, actually, that was a bad one. This is it. This is it. Look at it. I can tell just by looking at it. No. Fuck. Another bad one. What the fuck? I'm like, dude, I'm bathing my kid, dude. This is it. This is it. Look at it. I can tell just by looking at it. No. Fuck. Another bad one. What the fuck? I'm like, dude, I'm bathing my kid, dude. I got to go. Yeah.

for years instead of like stretch out a movie or a tv show that people don't even realize exists yeah well and you know like a lot of that happens too at the studio level it's like someone's like yeah this is like a film like nah nah nah what what if you could make it like a 10 part series and they're like what no they're like well we'll buy that and they're like fuck dude fine i guess nah i just came from a meeting where they asked for a series so that's what i'm gonna say this is yeah the bitchiest thing i've ever tweeted was something like me at a wedding and then this could have been an email so true that's the worst kind of did you not think i was gonna believe that you got married
