                                         Messy as in I'm human and flawed.

                                         And the only way to do that is to talk about sex.

                                         Um, this is, I don't know exactly what's going on with Jay Leno.
                                         
                                         He a couple of years ago had like a bad fire and then like came out and was like,
                                         
                                         yeah, look at me. I'm hideous. Like I obviously I've been burned. I look like Freddy Krueger.

                                         Yeah. He looked like himself after the fire thing.
                                         
                                         I actually didn't couldn't tell that he'd been burned.
                                         
    
                                         Then yeah, there's been all sorts of accidents.
                                         
                                         And recently TMZ caught up to Jay Leno
                                         
                                         outside a comedy show and he had an eyepatch on and an entire
                                         
                                         side of his face was purple.
                                         
                                         Yeah, anyway, so this is him explaining what happened.
                                         
                                         It looks terrible.
                                         
                                         Like, to see someone at his age with these kinds of injuries, you're like, oh, this is
                                         
                                         all kinds of bad.
                                         
    
                                         But we'll hear him explain it.
                                         
                                         I'm holding up fine.
                                         
                                         I'm right here.
                                         
                                         I'm talking to you.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Can I ask you what happened?
                                         
                                         Well, I was staying at a hotel.
                                         
                                         It was on a hill.
                                         
    
                                         Uh-huh.
                                         
                                         And there was a...
                                         
                                         I said, I go, where's a good place to eat?
                                         
                                         Oh, the bottom is throwing out.
                                         
                                         The restaurant was there.
                                         
                                         He's pointing down.
                                         
                                         But to get to it, I didn't have a car.
                                         
                                         So you had to go walk about a mile and a half around.
                                         
    
                                         I said, well, the hill doesn't look that steep.
                                         
                                         It's about 60, 70 feet.
                                         
                                         Let me see if I can go down the hill.
                                         
                                         Down!
                                         
                                         And then I fell down.
                                         
                                         I'm like, oh, my God.
                                         
                                         I'm like, oh, my God.
                                         
                                         I'm like, oh, my God.
                                         
    
                                         I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, my half around. I said, well, hill doesn't look that steep. It's about 60, 70 feet.
                                         
                                         Let me see if I can go down the hill.
                                         
                                         And then I fell down.
                                         
                                         Boom, boom, boom.
                                         
                                         I saw you roll down the hill.
                                         
                                         Roll down the hill.
                                         
                                         Get my head on a rock, knock me in the eye.
                                         
                                         Oh!
                                         
    
                                         His eye is, I mean, he's closing it.
                                         
                                         But yeah, it's swollen pretty bad.
                                         
                                         This is the kind of thing,
                                         
                                         like when you have elderly grandparents,
                                         
                                         like these are the kinds of things you're like, all right,
                                         
                                         they can't live alone anymore. Right. Like that was the last straw.
                                         
                                         What the fuck just happened? This is, I don't know. I think we're,
                                         
                                         we're a bit, is this the dubious explanations panel adjourning right now?

                                         looked down the hill restaurant at bottom of the hill, no car. So I had to just walk down the hill
                                         
                                         and I tumbled ass over tea kettle down the hill. Yeah. And smashed the side of my head on a rock. On a rock.
                                         
                                         Now this is where I'm, this is where my eyebrows
                                         
                                         go up in suspicion.
                                         
                                         He says he didn't have a car.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         This is, the man practically is a fucking car.
                                         
                                         Like Jay Lent, more people, when you hear Jay Leno,

                                         He loved a car.
                                         
                                         People don't even know that he was a late night host
                                         
                                         at this point.
                                         
                                         And now- It's just that guy with all the cars.

                                         walk a mile and a half down the mountain to go eat. You'd like,
                                         
                                         you'd think maybe this guy would have a driver or something when you're at that
                                         
                                         level of fame. I don't know.

                                         and then he was trying to walk two miles on the highway
                                         
                                         to get to Jack in the Box and he didn't make it, you know?
                                         
    
                                         This is my question.
                                         
                                         If he thought, okay, as the binary between
                                         
                                         take the one and a half mile road down the hill,
                                         
                                         I'll just fucking go down this steep incline of us,
                                         
                                         like a mountain face to get there.
                                         
                                         How are you going to get up?
                                         
                                         You're going to climb up the fucking mountain again at that point.
                                         
                                         Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
                                         
    
                                         I don't know, Jay.
                                         
                                         You look all I have had to explain away
                                         
                                         bad facial injuries before that happened because I was, you know, under the influence.
                                         
                                         And the story I came up with was exactly as convincing as that one.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I was playing basketball, jumped up, someone took out my legs and I forgot
                                         
                                         to put my hands down.
                                         
                                         I was like, no, that didn't happen, man.
                                         
                                         But, um, and guess what?
                                         
    
                                         When I told that to people at work, nobody believed it.
                                         
                                         I can see the outline of like the bottom of a 12 ounce can.
                                         
                                         Like it looks like, hold on, like let me line it up.
                                         
                                         Did you try it?
                                         
                                         That is what happened to my face is I just kept trying
                                         
                                         to drink, but I was trying so hard
                                         
                                         to just hitting myself in the face.
                                         
                                         I had a drinking problem in all the ways.
                                         
    
                                         The airplane way and also the other way.
                                         
                                         Exactly.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but anyways, I don't know man.
                                         
                                         You're too old for this. Yeah, Too old for this shit. Get, just take cars.
                                         
                                         All right. Let's talk about a great product for the lib brain out there.
                                         
                                         A cruise line is selling a four year long trip to avoid Trump's second term
                                         
                                         altogether. So cool.
                                         
                                         They, they announced that they're offering special four year cruises for
                                         
    
                                         Americans who want to take off and just skip trunks,
                                         
                                         Trump's second term altogether. It's called skip forward. Uh,
                                         
                                         they say they'll also offer a one year escape from reality and a two year mid
                                         
                                         term selection.
                                         
                                         If you want to return to land in time for the midterm elections,
                                         
                                         uh, this is, I don't know, but first of all, turn to land in time for the midterm elections.
                                         
                                         This is, I don't know, but first of all,
                                         
                                         you'll be on a small boat with God.
                                         
    
                                         I can't imagine a great group. Yeah.
                                         
                                         I would, if I was a fucking MAGA troll, I'd be like, guess who's going on that.
                                         
                                         Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                         You've read all your MAas shit and you're like,
                                         
                                         where are we going? Where are we going? Yeah.
                                         
                                         40 grand a year, they say.
                                         
                                         Or just under 40 grand a year. Great. Great. Great.
                                         
                                         This is for such a specific kind of person,
                                         
    
                                         which is also interesting because the like I it sounds like
                                         
                                         while a lot of like right wing media is like like look what the liberal snowflakes are trying to do
                                         
                                         It sounds like this was gonna be for whoever lost like yeah
                                         
                                         Yeah, the cruise line said that they were gonna do this regardless like had the election results been different
                                         
                                         They would have just like done like we're mega cruise
                                         
                                         Okay, so yeah, just right wingers who wanted to flee the country during Harris's term
                                         
                                         Yeah, just right wingers who wanted to flee the country during Harris's term
                                         
                                         you will still be like you will still have the dishonor of like disembarking a ship at a port and then
                                         
    
                                         Saying you're American because guess you know to get ready for that shit that stench to follow you around the fucking planet
                                         
                                         Unless this is a cruise just around the Texas Florida portion of the Gulf of Mexico, you're not gonna be beloved wherever you land.
                                         
                                         No, no, no, no, no. Do you remember what it was like being an American during the Bush years?
                                         
                                         Oh yeah. And going abroad?
                                         
                                         Yeah. Fuck. That was the wild... I just remember,
                                         
                                         I remember being in England and having my accent get clocked and like three dudes just pulled up
                                         
                                         on me. Yeah. La you from America, buddy?
                                         
                                         I'm like, what the dude?
                                         
    
                                         No, I'm Japanese, man.
                                         
                                         Toronto. Toronto.
                                         
                                         Yeah. Man's is Marv, bro.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it was it.
                                         
                                         It wasn't a great feeling because at the time I was like,
                                         
                                         what the fuck are y'all doing in Iraq was like all the things people would say to you.
                                         
                                         And who knows where this one's going to lead to.
                                         
                                         But anyway, take that take that cruise.
                                         
    
                                         I'm sure morning with an Irish woman who told me that America deserved 9-11
                                         
                                         and it really like fucked me up.
                                         
                                         Whoa, damn.

                                         But she's anyway, we did.
                                         
                                         You're right.
                                         
                                         We did. We did. We did.
                                         
                                         We did deserve it.
                                         
    
                                         That's where all my politics come from.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's why I was anti Bush.
                                         
                                         Anyways, good luck to like it would be interesting.
                                         
                                         Like we I think there's been we've covered before like very long term cruises like year long cruises.
                                         
                                         Oh, right.
                                         
                                         So one wacky one that people are doing like around the world.
                                         
                                         I think with the right documentary crew in tow, this could be a good documentary.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         As long as they're willing to really delve into all the ways that this is going to go
                                         
                                         existentially and spiritually horribly for all the people who, if you are like,
                                         
                                         you're like, oh god a Trump presidency
                                         
                                         I need to take a four-year cruise
                                         
                                         Yeah, that already says so much like in what you can afford how you look at the world though
                                         
                                         A documentary would be nice to see those people miles and I will like we are going a little bit hard on this idea
                                         
                                         because we're in the process of
                                         
    
                                         working with a company to
                                         
                                         develop a four year medically induced coma for people who don't want to live
                                         
                                         through a second Trump presidency. So doesn't that sound so much easier?

                                         and the thoughts that arise once we've
                                         
                                         hit the pavement together.

                                         My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman.
                                         
                                         I'm a black, gay, non-binary author, TV writer, actor,
                                         
                                         and I'm messy, but not in the way you think.
                                         
                                         Messy as in I'm human and flawed.
                                         
                                         I'm on a mission to destroy shame around sex.
                                         
                                         And the only way to do that is to talk about sex.
                                         
                                         So that's what we'll do on my brand new podcast,
                                         
                                         Tell Me Something Messy.
                                         
    
                                         Okay, let's play this messy round of smash or pass.
                                         
                                         Okay, here it is, smash or pass, spit play.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I don't know how I feel about bodily fluids being on me,
                                         
                                         unless it's...
                                         
                                         Oh!

                                         I was not expecting that.
                                         
                                         Baby, like I always say, if you know how to work that body,
                                         
                                         that sexualness, and that heart, you're unstoppable.
                                         
                                         Embrace your power.
                                         
                                         That's really what we gonna do on this show.

                                         Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar,
                                         
                                         a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior.
                                         
                                         On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans,
                                         
                                         I marry science and storytelling to better understand
                                         
    
                                         how to navigate the big changes in our lives.
                                         
                                         It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll
                                         
                                         be better.
                                         
                                         And I would dream of being better.
                                         
                                         At night I would dream that my face was quote unquoteunquote normal or back to the way it was.
                                         
                                         And I'd wake up and there'd be no change.
                                         
                                         I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change.
                                         
                                         You can think of the adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture.
                                         
    
                                         That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem
                                         
                                         of having social success
                                         
                                         and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

                                         Hell.
                                         
                                         Hell.
                                         
                                         Hell.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Matt Gates, he's still tapped to be the next attorney general.
                                         
                                         As we talked about before, there've been a lot of groans coming from the right, but until
                                         
    
                                         it was just mostly groans that were the kind of noises you make.
                                         
                                         This guy?
                                         
                                         Oh no, I'm very shocked.
                                         
                                         That's just a way to make it appear
                                         
                                         like you are opposed to something,
                                         
                                         but doing absolutely nothing about it.
                                         
                                         But now more and more Republicans are coming out against him
                                         
                                         and asking Trump to pull the nomination,
                                         
    
                                         despite Trump reaching out to senators to be like,
                                         
                                         hey, give them a shot, give them a shot.
                                         
                                         The problem for GOP senators is that they feel like
                                         
                                         going through this charade of the confirmation
                                         
                                         is kind of a lose-lose situation.
                                         
                                         Like if they go through with it,
                                         
                                         then a lot of senators that are up for reelection in 2026
                                         
                                         feel like it could seal their fates.
                                         
    
                                         And then on the other hand, if they refuse to confirm,
                                         
                                         they would face the wrath of like a Musk funded MAGA primary challenger.
                                         
                                         So yeah, only only good options on the table. I mean, you can either do what you need to
                                         
                                         to keep your little office as senator or whatever. I don't know. Why am I even trying to appeal?
                                         
                                         I feel so sorry for them. Miles. That's yeah, I would not want to be them. Wow. That's a catch 22. But yeah, at this point,
                                         
                                         it would be like a total waste of political capital
                                         
                                         and time to push Gates through,
                                         
                                         especially when you consider now that like the lawyer
                                         
    
                                         representing Gates's accusers has said that one
                                         
                                         of his clients witnessed everything,
                                         
                                         like including the paying for sex with minors
                                         
                                         and the actual sexual acts.
                                         
                                         Mark Wayne Mullen, who's like the tough guy,
                                         
                                         congressman who like wants to fight everybody.
                                         
                                         He won. He went on CNBC to sort of pretend as if he was like shocked by this.
                                         
                                         Yeah. But the CNBC entire political comportment is say it to my face.
                                         
    
                                         Right. Exactly. Yeah.
                                         
                                         And now he's on to make a comment about, you know, a statutory rape.
                                         
                                         And this is, this is how this sort of segment went.
                                         
                                         Kudos to the CNBC anchor for being very charitable with her description of what happened.
                                         
                                         We've already heard from the lawyer, from some of the people who did testify to the
                                         
                                         House Ethics Committee, that he had a client who testified that she had not only seen him
                                         
                                         pay for sex with with women
                                         
                                         I also engage in sex with a 17 year old woman minor minor a drug
                                         
    
                                         Fueled party is that something that concerns you?
                                         
                                         Well, if it is true, and I mean it I got to say that if that is true now what I see
                                         
                                         I like it goes and that is true what now?
                                         
                                         Oh, see, I like it goes, if that is true, what? Now, just pivoting away.
                                         
                                         Now what I.
                                         
                                         Masterful fucking cowardice.
                                         
                                         About Matt Gaetz is 100% true.
                                         
                                         Every word that I said was accurate.
                                         
    
                                         But as I will say, we'll go through this process
                                         
                                         like we should.
                                         
                                         And if that is in the report,
                                         
                                         then that is gonna be very problematic to move forward.
                                         
                                         If it is in the report, now if it's not in the report and it's just being reported out as news,
                                         
                                         then we will just ignore it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's-
                                         
    
                                         And then he goes on to basically be like,
                                         
                                         but if it's what the president wants, then obviously we're gonna get on board with it.
                                         
                                         Right, yeah.
                                         
                                         We will see.
                                         
                                         17-year-old woman.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Can-
                                         
    
                                         This is-
                                         
                                         Language is very important, y'all, especially with this.
                                         
                                         I also don't know.
                                         
                                         Like do they have that much to worry about because it seems like the Democrats
                                         
                                         are just all getting on board with the appeasement and the guys,
                                         
                                         we got to bring the temperature down.
                                         
                                         Appeasement. I've heard that.
                                         
                                         Fascism. The problem is division being divided as a
                                         
    
                                         nation.
                                         
                                         I remember the History Channel being on in the background
                                         
                                         a lot in the 90s.
                                         
                                         And I remember hearing this word appeasement,
                                         
                                         but I forget if it worked and who it was in regards to,
                                         
                                         but whatever.
                                         
                                         Probably nothing relevant to today.
                                         
                                         Marjorie Taylor Greene though has made it known
                                         
    
                                         that if anyone tries to get Gates's ethics report
                                         
                                         to be released, they will face consequences. Because if, yeah, I don't know if we, I think
                                         
                                         we did talk about this. Gates had like a tactical like resignation in order to basically not be
                                         
                                         within the jurisdiction of the House Ethics Committee to continue looking into his criminal
                                         
                                         behavior, alleged criminal behavior. So this is what Marjorie Taylor Greene says,
                                         
                                         quote, for my fellow Republican colleagues
                                         
                                         in the House and Senate,
                                         
                                         if we're going to release ethics reports
                                         
    
                                         and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed,
                                         
                                         then put it all out there for the American people to see.
                                         
                                         Yes, all the ethics reports and claims,
                                         
                                         including the one I filed,
                                         
                                         all your sexual harassment and assault claims
                                         
                                         that were secretly settled paying off victims
                                         
                                         with taxpayer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files tapes recordings
                                         
                                         Witness interviews, but not just those there's more Epstein wasn't isn't the only asset if we're gonna dance
                                         
    
                                         Let's all dance in the sunlight. Oh, we do now
                                         
                                         She's speaking directly to Republicans.
                                         
                                         And she's like, I know you guys have done a lot of really bad shit.
                                         
                                         Guys, may I remind you, we're the bad guy.
                                         
                                         We have that member pretext.
                                         
                                         This is the other. Yeah.
                                         
                                         And it's like feels like I don't know if she's trying to make it seem like Democrats are like
                                         
                                         everyone's trying to get the report released.
                                         
    
                                         But I think she's just saying like I've got a dead hand
                                         
                                         Trigger to be like, oh a dead man's hand if anything happens everybody. I don't know
                                         
                                         But it's not I don't know if that's the L when you're like, but if you don't then I'm perfectly fine protecting sexual predators
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         Party affiliation you want to dance? Let's dance. That is like a bad, that's an eighties movie bad guy line. That's wild. That's someone who's never danced before.
                                         
                                         You're not built for dancing. If you're like, then let's dance in the sun,
                                         
                                         probably throw in a switch blade from hand to hand. That is the energy of, if we're going to
                                         
                                         dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. Holy shit. We need Bruce Wayne to come out and be like, yeah, I've danced.
                                         
    
                                         Just straight up bad guys, man. Just bad guys.
                                         
                                         Let's guys. What do you want?
                                         
                                         You want me to tell them what you did? My fellow Republicans. Exactly.
                                         
                                         Okay. Yikes. Nancy Mace.
                                         
                                         Speaking of Republicans.
                                         
                                         Yeah. Speaking of bad Republicans. So I know every time we've brought her up,
                                         
                                         she's like the person who's like telling her staff like I must have 900 television appearances
                                         
                                         per day or you are fired. I don't care about any of any legislative business that might
                                         
    
                                         come in front of me as a politician. But she's at it again. This time she's bullying Representative
                                         
                                         Sarah McBride, who's the first transgender member of Congress. She's making a bunch of noises about introducing a bill to
                                         
                                         ban trans women from using the women's bathroom at the Capitol. Everyone's like,
                                         
                                         of course here, like again, why are Democrats so focused on trans people?
                                         
                                         Right. This is, no. Just them making a big deal out of it. Yeah. You know, Democrats, if you wanted to prove that you aren't total empty skin bags out there,
                                         
                                         maybe come together to defend your fellow member of Congress? Maybe?
                                         
                                         Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
    
                                         Why do you want to be so divisive and defend human beings, Miles?
                                         
                                         Right, right. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be divisive by being against your bigotry.
                                         
                                         I will fall all the way back.
                                         
                                         Yeah, just more right-wing nonsense.
                                         
                                         A lot of people pointed out though
                                         
                                         that when you are actually like a member of Congress,
                                         
                                         you have your own restrooms in your office.
                                         
                                         But again, this is more performative shit
                                         
    
                                         because again, Nancy Mase has to be on TV.
                                         
                                         And unfortunately, she's just doing it in the most craven way possible.
                                         
                                         So hey, yeah, indeed.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Big update on one of the leading candidates for our story of the year. Glasgow Willy Wonka, the Glasgow Willy Wonka scammer
                                         
                                         is now a registered sex offender.
                                         
                                         Unfortunately, yeah, the guy behind the event,
                                         
                                         not to mention a number of terrible AI novels,
                                         
    
                                         Billy Cool, C-O-U-L-L, is now a registered sex offender,
                                         
                                         guilty of abusive behavior after bombarding
                                         
                                         a woman with explicit pictures.
                                         
                                         It began in March just after the Willy Wonka event and his courtroom defense was to blame
                                         
                                         the Wonka catastrophe for taking a toll on his mental health and thus driving him to
                                         
                                         repeatedly harass and threaten someone. I don't want to blame it all on my Willy Wonka event,
                                         
                                         but it did have a, it was a serious contribution
                                         
                                         of my already proven track record
                                         
    
                                         of being a duplicitous manipulator.
                                         
                                         Okay, cool, cool.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So I don't know.
                                         
                                         You hate to see it.
                                         
                                         You do hate to see it.
                                         
                                         Also feel like it's going to hurt that story in our year end story tournament.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Well, important addendum that we'll have to attach.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Because it's come full circle.
                                         
                                         It's yeah.
                                         
                                         What happened to just scammers who fade away in shame into the darkness?
                                         
                                         Does that ever actually happen?
                                         
                                         No, almost never.
                                         
    
                                         I was going to say, wait, I don't think they do ever.
                                         
                                         Nope, they're almost always pathologically bad people.
                                         
                                         Ah, yeah, yep, yep, yep.

                                         You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with

                                         My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black, gay, non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and I'm messy.
                                         
                                         But not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flawed. I'm on a mission to destroy shame around sex.
                                         
                                         And the only way to do that is to talk about sex.
