You ever like spit in a toilet and you're worried the luge because it might connect your mouth surface tension. It's acting as a conduit for everything in the toilet. In my eyes, I've had that exact. And it's like kind of stringing. You're like, no, no, shoot up the fucking, the fucking loop. It's touching your mouth and the toilet at the same time. You're a straw. It's a straw.

Yeah, it's basically a straw. You're a dead person like that fish that swims up your urethra and the Amazon is just like, yeah, it's like that. OK, I got to strap up when you're in the end.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 398, episode two of Dirty Daily Zeitgeist. That's a production of iHeartRadio. It's a podcast where we take deep dive into American shared consciousness. Yeah. American shared consciousness. Yeah. American shared consciousness. Yeah, American shared consciousness. Yeah. My name is, oh no, wait.

First I'd like to tell you what date it is. And that of course is Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025. Hey, this is an easy one. National Mango Day, National Hammock Day. Great. I fucking love both. I know. Thank you.

What a duo. Keep it easy. You know thank you what a duo keep it you know maybe the best duo that we've had for a national days that come I've never had him you ever haven't had a mango and a ham not not until just now have I even thought about it yeah well honor the day on as a American white I came late to mango and mangoes are such a great fruit. Let me guess, so then you discovered it in 2018? No, once I met my wife who is- That's cheating. That's cheating.

Yeah, it's cheating. Yeah. But we did just discover in like the, that's a good fun question that like seven-year-olds come up with, my kids asked, what's the sweetest fruit? Most sugar per square inch and it is mango, in fact. That makes sense. You'd think that Americans would be all about that shit.

They should just like market it as like the big gulp of fruit. It's like, it's like, clurpy, man. I think it's because it requires know-how in terms of how to eat it properly. Because like the things that are probably here is like like I can eat a whole apple along with the core You know like then people and banana. It's very easy when you get to these stone fruits They're like, what do I how do I do? I don't know how to get through the wrapping. Yeah, I've seen you have some

Diabolical cutting of mango. They're like you want some mango like you've left 70% of the fruit on here I don't know how we okay. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, my name is Jack O'Brien AK I want a pubed pay to wear with the top down the girls keep me looking tight, baby Baby that one courtesy of snarf you long the discord in reference to the idea we you pay I don't know how we got there, but we were talking about... It was the Miata, I think a Miata and how I would wear a wig if I was in a convertible. And then you said, what if I think you had a hair transplant, those are just pubes. Those are just pubes, that's right.

Just thick old wiry pubes up top. And then the image... That's what people come to expect on this show, Jack, every morning. That is where we're at. Mm-hmm. Second, right. Mm-hmm. Justin said, Blake also called Jack's hair a quote bush.

He did, that's right. Also, so that's nice. Yeah, that's where we got it. Bush toupee is interesting. And just the idea of those just flying behind, just a stream of those flying behind you. Yeah. With the top down. Freaked me out and I will never forget that image. Thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.

Hey, it's Miles Gray, aka Black Mold Son. Won't you come. It's taking over, Andrew. And wipe my mouth away. Black Mold Son, won't you come? Won't you come? I wipe my mouth away, black mold son. Won't you come, won't you come. Black mold son, black mold son.

Okay, I just had to come up with that right now and my utter disgust from drinking from a disgusting Ouala cup I should have washed in the summer heat, turned it into a fucking Petri dish. And I'm okay okay for now. For now. Although you claim that you came up with that, but I think the mold came up with that. I think the mold has taken over your brain like a symbiote.

Let's see how the rest of my takes go the rest of this episode. We'll know who's in charge here. Hunter Biden claims his dad was on ambient. How does this affect the mold community? Yeah, exactly. Everything is from the perspective of mold. You know, I think we're just giving mold a hard time right now these days. What?

I'm glad that he's still around kicking out there, you know, because he's a great home for mold. Oh man, the back of my eyes itch real bad. The back of the eyeballs like inside my brain. How do I scratch that? I bet that's something that Joe Biden has experienced. Anyways, Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious comedian, an actor who I don't think we've mentioned before, but you can see him in the classic

insider trading Brian's hat courtroom sketch from I Think You Should Leave, which is one of the great sketches of all time. You can also see him performing stand-up on stages and televisions across this land. He's the host of the wonderful podcast, Podcast But Outside. It's Andrew Michaud! Hello. Thank you for such a warm introduction. And that's all I have to say. Thank you guys for having me. This is great. So fun. I really had a blast. Great to have you here. Andrew, where can people find you? Yeah. Yeah, I know you

got left out. So just get on out of here. Yeah, I've got stuff going on. Thanks for having me. I'm always happy to be here. It's always so fun. Excited for the episode. Sorry about the mold. I also have one of those Ouala cups, but mine is not taken over by the forces that you are now allied with. This is the problem is I went from only having a couple cups to having a ton of people donating drinking cups to me in the last few months. What does that mean? After the fire, because I lost everything in the fire.

You lost everything in the fire? Oh my gosh. Yeah. I didn't realize that. I'm sorry to hear that. It's all right. Jack's having a harder time dealing with it than I am. It's been really hard for me.

Because he sees all the sympathy, and you are cupless, and you don't really... He gets all these cups, and he talks about it all the time, too. Yeah. He's like, so it's just... There is emotional labor. I'm not going to say there's not it's just funny. Like people donate shit to you and they'll be like, Hey, I'm bringing up some stuff like over and it would always be like a shopping bag from an event, a reusable

shopping bag from an event that a reusable shopping bag from an event that was like the vessel. And it was like, like, and then it would be a drinking cup, like a reusable drinking cup from that event. And then like a spatula or like Tom like a kitchen thing. And I'm like, all right, but the cups, you're like, like six cups right now. You're like, this is all the stuff I'm glad burned up. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, this is the shit I have too much of. Everybody has too many of around the house. Hey, do you need like a reusable tote from an event

that you forgot you went to three years ago? I'm like, yeah, I guess. We have a closet that's just those. Yeah, right? Could you actually come pick it up? And yeah, and as repayment, you get to keep them. Take whatever you want, man. Take them all.

Well, Andrew, we are thrilled to have you. Fresh off of a podcast, but outside being in Japan, was that a recent trip or are those just episodes that are recent? Yeah, I think I had just gone on this trip when I did the podcast last, or I had just, or was about to go, one of the two. And yeah, I mean, I went to Japan.

I've been there a few times. I always had a fun time. I did my podcast there with Lyle the Therapy Gecko. I don't know if you've seen that guy on the internet. He would just, we're friends and he happened to be there at the same time. And it was great. We talked to lots of interesting people.

My podcast is interviewing strangers on the street. And I've recently had the opportunity to do it in a couple of foreign countries. They want in France. It hasn't come out yet. Did a couple in Tokyo. It's fun to do that format, but with people around the world and just hear about their lives.

I haven't seen the Tokyo stuff, but was it people that were living there or expats? No, it was really hard to find. It was hard to find Japanese people to sit down, even though we had a translator with us. It was mostly visitors. It was a woman from Amsterdam who is dating a Japanese man, and it was like a guy from Australia who was on holiday.

Who has something to say. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She's got stuff to contribute about the culture. For sure. I'll tell you what I've noticed. My boyfriend, blah, blah, blah. This fucking guy. All right. Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today. Hunter Biden was kind enough to shed a little bit of light on what happened in that dang debate that it seemed like his dad was just too old for. I just want to check him on this one. It's just make sure we know Hunter's we, we know Hunter's still out there. Joe's still out there. You're right.

Still 10 toes down on Joe Biden got hosed and should have stayed in the race longer. Island. That's a loyal son though. I mean, he stood by his, he looked, he stood by Hunter's side. So yeah, you better be riding for your old ass dad. That's right. We'll talk about Colbert getting canceled and why that might be happening.

I wonder. We'll talk about. So we talked about this final destination scene that involves an MRI machine on a previous episode. There's a real-world story version of that. I don't know why we're talking about it, but we're going to. The headline reads like a comic book. We don't have to spend time on it.

It's tragic, but y'all, we need to be better around MRI machine. We gotta be better. We gotta be more careful. And we will check in with the Catholic Church. Got to. As always. Because we got to. And then in our final, as we do every Monday or every Tuesday we

close out with Catholic Corner. Yeah. See what the Catholic Church is up to specifically the scandal around that Yeti blood oath that I'm sure y'all are up on but if you missed last Tuesday's episode stay tuned for that one. It is pretty wild. All of that, plenty more. But first, Andrew, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Andrew Pichard I was just recently searching, speaking of the fires, of whether or not it's safe to be in the water near the Palisades, because I surf a lot, and I'm out there all the time.

I was like, what's the verdict on that? Most public health stuff, very unclear. Yeah, right. I learned that sort of information. I like entered the idea like, yeah, I mean, that was like what, six months ago? You know what, is it bad? I've been out here the last six months. Just kind of worried about the runoff that's in there.

I mean, that's the vibe. You just kind of got to look towards the Catholic Church sometimes, maybe it gives you a little more guidance than public health officials. It could, it could. Yeah, I just consulted my priest. He told me it was cool. Yeah, yeah.

Like the church there, they're saying to merely just relocate the problem to somewhere else. But yeah, yeah. Like the church there, they're saying to merely just relocate the problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somewhere else. But no, I do surf a lot. So I've been surfed. I've been searching some surf stuff and I've surfed almost every day of the last week. It's been a really good week for me.

Oh, amazing. Yeah. Okay. Surfing priest. Is that a thing? Like a movie from 1950? I feel like we'll, we'll, we'll get it going. We'll get it.

There's a drummer I follow on Instagram who's like a Franciscan monk who's a fucking insane drummer. Really? And he wears his fucking like monk outfit and he's doing all these wild poly rhythms. And I'm like, this motherfucker got chops. But he's a Franciscan monk. For real? Or just has the outfit?

Okay. No, no, no. He's like, he's a Franciscan monk. For real? Or just has the outfit? Okay. No, he's a legit priest. I think he's just like, look guys, it ain't all about Jesus and pretending I'm not a sexual person. Okay. I play drums also. Sometimes I just fucking. There's a lot of time they have. I feel like that is one of the things that they get really good at brewing.

They're good at brewing in their feelings. He's putting the timing to get really good at brewing and like I'm not sure. They're good at brewing. He's putting the timing to get really good at drums. He's just hitting the drums. He goes, this is my fucking, okay? Yeah. I bet y'all are wondering what my fucking is. It's this. No. No.

God only. my fucking is. It's this. No, no. God only. Every priest. I bet you're wondering what my fucking is. It's a new campaign from the Catholic Church. It's your fucking. Yeah, like a Super Bowl ad. Yeah. My fucking?

La boo boo dolls. Oh, wow. Look at this one. Yeah. Andrew, what's something you think's underrated? Calling people. My fucking? La boo boo dolls. Oh wow, look at this one. Yeah. Andrew, what's something you think is underrated? Calling people. You know, it's very easy to text. Yeah, it's very easy to text someone, you know, but I think if there's a friend you

haven't talked to in a while, you haven't seen in a while, just give them a call. Talk for five to 10 minutes. I think it's better, you know, especially if you're not in the same city. But if I'm ever on a drive or something, if I have like an hour drive, I think is better, you know, especially if you're not in the same city. But if I'm ever on a drive or something, if I have like an hour drive, I'll try to call two or three friends for my life and just chat for five or 10 minutes each. I think it's, I think it's better. I think it's good. Do you, are you ever upfront and you're like, Hey, I'm kind of stuck in the car

is seeing what's up, or do you just kind of let it roll? Cause I've done that too with friends and without having to give that like sort of caveat, it's we just ended up talking for a while because I'm like what's up No, no, I was up and then you just start talking about some shit and then I'm like and then at the end I'm like, hey, sorry, dude. I got to where I'm about Your time's up. Yeah, I do have to let you know that they are probably aware that you're in a car the whole time I think it's pretty obvious. I'm talking to someone in a car. Yeah when I'm screaming to The horn is talking guy I think it's pretty obvious when you're talking to someone in a car. Yeah when I'm screaming to I just think a nice little random phone call whenever I mean whenever I get a phone call from someone I haven't talked to

Well, it's nice. Yeah, that's why I loved that that I don't know if it was like white people were doing it too But it was like definitely on black social media of calling your boys and saying good night to them So good because I people were doing it too, but it was like definitely on black social media of calling your boys and saying good night to them. Oh, I saw that. I saw that. And that was just so good because like, what's up, boy? What's up, man? Like, I just want to call to say good night. They're like, what the fuck? But then it like then you got to see how like their friends work is.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was one I saw that was like Martin Scorsese. Like he was calling someone or it's like. Oh, he was to say goodnight? Yeah, like his granddaughter, she gets him to do all the social media trends.

She got him to call, gosh, I really forget who, but someone on his level, like a similar kind of guy. And they were like, okay, hi, okay, okay. Robert De Niro. Yeah, De Niro. I think it was Robert De Niro, actually. I think it was either the reversal. Marty, what the?

Yes, it was Robert calling Martin or Martin called Robbie. That's exactly what it was Robert De Niro actually. Either the reversal. It was Robert calling Martin or Martin called Robert. That's exactly what it was. I love the idea of his granddaughter stumbling upon a prop as if in the dusty closet. She's like, when I put grandpa in my videos, people fucking lose it. I didn't realize people liked grandpa so much.

It's so random. He makes movies or something. I've been through other videos. She's like, look at grandpa's eyebrows. Look how long the eyebrow hair is. This is my grandpa. This is grandpa Marty's eye. Okay. Someone comments, I think he's famous.

And she's like, oh my God, I didn't know. Marty Scorsese? Yes. I love, so far, all of your takes have been about going analog, using a phone for talking on the phone. And then when you said surfing, I thought we were talking internet browsing, but you do the old timey surfing. Hell yeah.

What is something you think's overrated? All right. And then just to keep with the analog theme, I'll say every other thing my phone does. For me, in my house, staring at my phone all the time, very popular. And I think it's overrated. And I think I need to realize that. And that is what the sign in front of your house says. In this house. Staring at the phone, very popular, but also I think it's very overrated.

It's like it's so much print, so much text, the font has to be small. I thought you were going to make more points on that. There's a lot of car accidents directly in front of my house. People trying to read my woke sign. Yeah. Does it care about me or wait a second.

No, no, sorry. It's just about us and how staring blankly into our phones is our love language in this house. That is our love language. That, no, sorry. It's just about us and how staring blankly into our phones is our love language in this house. That is our love language. That's our love language. Are you doing anything to counteract that aside from just general mindfulness? Like, do you have any timers?

I don't even know that I'm doing that. I mean, honestly, that's why the surfing stuff is good because it's just like, there's no option. I'm out there in the water for two hours and there's nothing. I think putting yourself in situations where you're like even going to see a movie in a theater, playing a board game with friends, anything that's like you can't have the option of looking at your phone because it's in the other room or not on you or whatever. These things are obviously so

addicting and it's like even if you have practices that you set in place, it's very hard to stick to them unless you're very much like, okay, I'm doing this event that I have to do it in this way. Sure, sure. Or just realizing that it's ruining our lives. I wonder, you know, I wonder if there's going to be like some sort of more like widespread revolution around it, you know, because it's really messed up. I think it's, it's like happening very subtly and smally because there was, there was a study we talked about recently about how kids between like 12 and 16 or something are self moderating their phone use without

their parents telling them, like they are being like, social media is fucking me up. I have to put this down. Like, and it's coming from the users themselves rather than like a concerned parent or family member. So I'm like, well, on some level, people are realizing that it feels not good to hold this fucking thing and staring into it all the time. That's helpful. Yeah, man.

Being around kids and then catching yourself, being in a room with them with your just face, being vacant, looking at your phone is one of the darkest human experiences for me. Like I'm just like, God, what am I doing? Like that? And this is how they're seeing me. You know, your kids are, your kids are all under 10, right? So they're like, like devices, but don't have phones or anything. Don't have phones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, right. So, and like, we don't let them like really use devices. But then I'm just sitting here, being like, duh.

Just catching drool falling out of my mouth. You're like, it's my job to know what's viral. That's right. Sorry, the trend's called. Hold on, you're looking at pictures of the same bird, dad. It's my favorite one. Jesus, what happened to him? I talk about it on my show. It's a good bird. All right let's take a quick break. When we come back we'll talk about some news. We'll be right back. What's up guys welcome to Agus to Papa the go-to spot for

everything música mexicana. We're proud Mexican Americans who live and breathe this music. We started this podcast to share and discuss our views on música mexicana. Whether you like Peso Pluma, Los Aleires del Barranco, Ariel Camacho or Ivan Cornejo when you gain your feels then this podcast is for you. We deep dive into music reviews. Peso Pluma show last year everything was a 10 out of 10. Fashion and lifestyle inspired by the roots of música mexicana,

the craziest controversies and cheesemists. I don't have nothing against Fuerza, you know, and I don't think JOP should be mad at me. Song and artist comparisons, competition in the scene. There is competition, there is sides to this. There's Especial Pluma, Double P, and there's JOP, Dream Mob. I think at the end of the day, it's business, it's all competition, and of course, our personal stories and opinions along the way. This isn't just a podcast, it's a movement for fans who live music mexicana every single day.

Listen to Agustapapa as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Adventures should never come with a pause button. Remember the MoviePass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the Tech Podcast,

There Are No Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder, Stacey Spikes, who was left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject

of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, Those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like.

They're not gonna describe someone who looks like me and they're not gonna describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There Are No Girls on the internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We are telling our scientists today we have disdain for your expertise.

And then you have China as an exception, saying, actually, we're going to invest a trillion dollars in new science. Yeah, you heard that right. While the U.S. is cutting billions from science and public health, China is making historic investments. That means here in the U.S., fewer breakthroughs, slower medical advances, and a serious risk of falling behind globally. I don't think anything about that is efficient. I think that it is actually profoundly inefficient. As she would know, Chelsea Clinton is using her expertise in public health to break down what these cuts really mean and why protecting science isn't just smart policy, it's a necessity.

This week on Dope Labs, we're putting it all under the microscope with Chelsea Clinton, diving into what's at stake for science, medicine, and our future. Listen to Dope Labs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Radhita Vleukja and I'm the host of a really good cry podcast and I have the opportunity to talk to Logan Urie. Logan is a dating expert, a behavioral scientist, a bestselling author and someone who is seriously changing the way we think about love and dating. In our conversation, we talk all things dating that Logan has studied and tested from what to put in your dating profile, the pictures you should and shouldn't be using to the conversation starters that

actually work. And the huge no-nos that people probably do not realize are reducing their chances of success on apps. Whether you're single, dating, or just trying to be more intentional in love, Logan offers the kind of clarity we all need. Relationships do require work, and the best relationships are people who really work on them together. They're so focused on if I find the perfect person, then I'll have the perfect relationship. Instead of understanding really that they can choose someone great and then build that relationship together. They don't need to keep searching for perfection. Listen to A Really Good Cry on the iHeartRatio app,

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And yeah, so Hunter Biden in a three hour interview on the internet, I believe is where it was, said that the reason his dad did bad in that debate is because he was on Ambien, which seems misguided. Oh, he was. I don't know.

Did he know what Ambien does? It makes you tell the truth. I don't know. I don't know if he knows. Hey guys, what's the most politically consequential thing you ever took an ambient before doing? This is so what is he trying to say He's I don't he's like yeah My dad was all fucked up on who among us hasn't been ripped off ambient and then goes and does a presidential debate

I know exactly what happened in that debate. He told YouTube personality, Andrew Callahan. Callahan, yeah. That's the guy from All Gas, No Breaks. Right, right. He flew around the world. He's 81 years old. He's tired. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep.

And he gets up on the stage and looks like a deer in the headlights. Come on, man. Oh, wow. He's saying they gave him Ambien the night before or the day of the day. I think it's like what? It might've been like days before and he just like couldn't handle it.

Yeah. That just, I don't know. Just like never took an Ambien like a month earlier and like never recovered. Maybe not the testament to robust mental and physical health that he seems to think it is. Yeah. Now we see awareness campaigns. Only one time is all it takes with Ambien, and you might end up like Joe Biden on a debate stage. They're like, he's so sensitive that one of his staffers looked at an Ambien, and then it made his way to Joe just by osmosis.

He should have been wearing a mask. That happens. He was he was bagging up the ambient with both eyes. Around a pharmacist. It's, uh, it's, he's coping. It's okay, Hunter, you know, with that you you're trying to stick, you're trying to stick by your dad and maybe it was the ambient either way. It, if he's getting that loopy off of ambient,

probably still shouldn't be in the race. Right. Cause they definitely didn't give it to him right before the performance. He's definitely talking about the night before. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe then that's like even a worse

indictment around everybody where it's like, well, you know, he's already like a slow moving puppet who needs like medications to sleep. So, and they gave him, then he took too much the night before. It's like, well, you know, he's already like a slow moving puppet who needs like medications to sleep. So, and then they gave him, then he took too much the night before. It's like, what? This is still Hunter. Just, you know, be upset that they didn't actually do a primary and he didn't have to be on the lightning rod for everyone's discontent here.

It's, it's also so, it's just like, it's such a, like the Democrats failed so miserably in every step of the way. It's like to just try to make excuses for any of it. It's just like, what is the point? What are you even serving and trying to be like, well, actually, it's like no, it was a complete failure no matter what. I wonder what it was like when I had,

now I'm really curious what his tone was like as this was brought up. Because I'm sure Andrew brings up, like he's like, damn, what about that L of an election, huh? Right. And then he's like, well, you know, they gave my dad, you know, I don't know if he's like getting defensive rather than like, I'd imagine, I don't think the Hunter Biden would have said, yeah, you know what? My dad should have dropped out, man.

He was, that is the opposite of the position he was running down. Yeah. That is not what he's going to say. But yeah It's also like I don't know it could be just classic like drug Drug guy thing where drug guys think everybody else the answer is always drugs Like fucking coked out of his mind. I mean, this is the thing right right? They're talk about the timeline and in this, the New York Post did a little, just a little fact checking. Biden traveled to Italy to meet with the G7 June 13th to 15th, 2024.

Then by June 20th, he was hunk, quote, hunkered down at Camp David for debate prep ahead of the June 27th showdown. Week. A week. A week to sleep that ambient off. But miles, they said that like, you know, however many hours away you were, that's how much the, that's how many days you need to get over the jet lag. And this is the president of the United States. Yeah.

Hmm. Jet lag. And this is the president of the United States. Yeah. Jesus. I do think the presidents like have access to just like Elvis doctor levels of whatever fucking prescription drug they need at any given time, which makes his performance that much more because like they also had probably uppers that he could have hopped on.

And that just wasn't doing it. It was just, you think they have like medicinal cocaine? Oh yeah. Like so, so they can kind of feel good about it. They're like, well, we do have this medicinal powder that we can use and they don't want to call it blow. So they're just like, get the, um, the white powder for his white powder. That are all white. Yeah.

Maybe the maybe the closer you are to passing beyond the veil of death, the stronger ambient is on you, you know, right. It kind of draws off the power of death, you know, right. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It kind of like gives you a fake version of that. And when you're closer to it, it has a stronger impact. I don't know. Completely different, yeah. Just sucked backward towards the white light.

Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah, they're like, don't fuck around with that ambient if you're near 80 years old. If you're near 80. You'll cross, you might cross over mentally for hours at a time. But you physically will not expire, but you will cross over.

Just, just don't. New flatliners for the boomer generation. Oh man. Great movie. Yeah. But anyways, it basically just seems like he's mad that they didn't do a better job stage managing Joe Biden's mental and physical decline. I mean, it makes sense from like your fail son, who's always getting into controversies,

who gets bailed out all the time. He's like, and they couldn't do that for my dad? They fucked him. Yeah, yeah, exactly. The whole game is to bail people out when they're fucking up. Come on, man. Fucking hold them to account. The name Hunter Biden feels like so many levels of irrelevance.

Like he's the failed president's failed son. It's just like so many levels of irrelevance. Like he's the failed president's failed son. It's just like so many levels. Yeah. Is there like, it's like if there was like another Stallone brother that we didn't know about, like after Frank Stallone, it's like, you know about Ruben Stallone? No, his son, his son.

Yeah. Frank Stallone's, Frank Stallone's son. Ruben Stallone, yeah. Shout out to Ruben. If you're right there. We like him.one. Yeah. Shout out to Ruben. If you're there, we appreciate that you didn't try and do anything with the last. He's like, I am. I'm trying to get on your guys podcast. You want to have me on?

Check your email. Sorry Ruben. You respond to my publicist, Ruben Stallone. Victor, tell him we've already got the whole beer planned out or something. Yeah, we booked this thing way in advance, Rube. All right, let's talk about Colbert getting canceled. Man. The end of an era, CBS, that was the Letterman one, right?

CBS? Yeah, man. Which is the final episode. They've given us a lot of lead time. The final episode will air in May. So we got some time to work with this. I do wonder if he's going to like go dark Colbert the way like Conan like went kind of angry. He's got it in him. He's got it in him. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know if he does anymore. The headlines that are like Colbert is canceled and so is satire in America

from the observer. I'm like, I don't like it. You've seen the latest version of Colbert, not like the Colbert rapport, right? Yeah, right. Right. Right. Right. It's a little different, but it's very, he's more in the middle for sure.

Yeah. A little bit, a little broader for sure, but he's letting his Catholic flag fly every night a little bit. And by that we mean he's dressing up as a yeti. I mean, it is wild though that like three nights before he announced that the show is ending, he's basically saying, damn, CBS is out here basically taking Greece, like giving out Greece payments to the Trump administration for that $16 million settlement and basically calling it a bribe. Then he makes a joke, he's like,

and I don't know what it would take for me to, I mean, I work at this company, I don't know what it would take for me to get over this. I don't know, maybe let's call it $16 million. It's like, okay, that's funny. Then three days later, it's going to be up next May, it will probably be the last episodes.

It was the number one late night show in ratings, which I've heard people be like, yeah, but Kimmel and Fallon, do they host game shows and shit for their network? But it's still pretty weird that the one that's in first place in the ratings gets canceled first, and it happens to be by the company that is already on the record, being in the process of like destroying 60 minutes, like on account of like trying to get

this merger to go through, just no, nobody has ever like paid more for a fucking merger, everything is just going to shit for this company and they're just like, we don't really give a fuck about the optics. How about that? Yeah. You have Kimmel saying, he's like, I'm probably next the way things are going. ABC also did settle with Trump. Who knows how common it is. In the announcement, when they said the ratings, I was kind of

like, oh, that's actually a lot of people like you said, like 4 million people is their average viewership or something like that. And I was like, definitely more than I would have assumed. Because I know, right? Yeah, that's good. I mean, that's num that's number one. But even that, that's pretty hot. I would have assumed that less people watch it just based on the way things are going.

But yeah. We're recording this Monday. So I know there's an episode of The Daily Show hosted by John Stewart that a lot of people are eager to see what he has to say. Cause I know that he's been like, I'm probably next also. And you know, so that'll be interesting or that was interesting hopefully

for people who watched it last night. Oh, they said Letterman was getting around 7.8 million viewers at the height of his powers. But I am surprised that four is still pretty strong compared to everything else. Four is still better than what Letterman did in the last seven years of him being on. That's crazy. Yeah.

This is like a wild success story you might say. Yeah. I mean, but late night is definitely dying. I mean, Her Majesty used to work in late night and we had a front row seat to watch just every network. You're like, man, I don't man, late night's a thing really anymore. Yeah. And like Trump immediately took to truth social to like talk about how great this was. WGA is calling for an investigation.

I am dying to see like the foiled emails around this. Like how, how they discussed it. What do we do? You know, nobody is like sending that email without at least like making reference to it by accident. And then being like, shut the fuck up. Right, right. It makes you wonder what we do with the renewal of SC.

They're like, uh huh, South Carolina, not Stephen Colbert. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Yeah, the timing is absolutely terrible in the best case scenario. Because they're like, they say they were losing 40 million a year on the show, but that's also when they're saying that it might cost something around 100 million a year to make. Yeah. So they're only coming up to six, whatever.

Either way, it's not a good look for CBS that's been doing everything they can to accommodate the Trump administration. That's a lot of money. I mean, I lose 40 million, but it usually takes me like three years. Yeah. I lose 40 million every three years. Yeah, single year. That's a lot.

Yeah. And your show's still on. Yeah. You're still going to Japan? Yeah. My DIY podcast, this is 40 million every three years. We're even getting the money for that. It's just, get really lucky gambling.

Deficit funding, deficit spending, guys. Yeah, like Netflix. That's right. Yeah, just do that. Double down. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

What's up guys? Welcome to Agusto Papa, the go-to spot for everything música mexicana. We're proud Mexican Americans who live and breathe this music. We started this podcast to share and discuss our views on música mexicana. Whether you like Peso Pluma, Los Alegros del Barranco, Ariel Camacho, or Ivan Cornejo when you get in your feels, then this podcast is for you. We deep dive into music reviews. Peso Pluma show last year, everything was a 10 out of 10. Fashion and lifestyle inspired by the roots

of música mexicana, the craziest controversies and cheese myths. I don't have nothing against Fuerza, you know, and I don't think Joe Peat should be mad at me. Song and artist comparisons, competition in the scene. There is competition, there is sides to this. There's Peso Pluma, Double P, and there's JOP. Street Mop.

I think at the end of the day, it's business, it's all competition. And of course, our personal stories and opinions along the way. This isn't just a podcast, it's a movement for fans who live musica mexicana every single day. Listen to Agapapa as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast,

or wherever you get your podcasts. Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are No Girls on the Internet.

On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder.

Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me like. They're not gonna describe someone who looks like me and they're not gonna describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There Are No Girls on the internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Radhita Vleukya and I'm the host of a Really Good Cry podcast and I have the opportunity to talk to Logan Urie. Logan is a dating expert, a behavioral scientist, a best-selling author and someone who is seriously changing the way we think about love and dating. In our conversation we talk all things dating that Logan has studied and tested from what to put in your dating profile, the pictures you should and shouldn't be using to the conversation starters that actually work and the huge no-nos that people probably

do not realize are reducing their chances of success on apps. Whether you're single, dating, or just trying to be more intentional in love, Logan offers the kind of clarity we all need. Relationships do require work, and the best relationships are people who really work on them together. They're so focused on,

if I find the perfect person, then I'll have the perfect relationship. Instead of understanding, really, that they can choose someone great and then build that relationship together. They don't need to keep searching for perfection. Listen to a really good cry on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We are telling our scientists today, we have disdain for your expertise.

And then you have China as an exception saying, actually, we're going to invest a trillion our scientists today. We have disdain for your expertise. And then you have China as an exception saying, actually, we're gonna invest a trillion dollars in new science. Yeah, you heard that right. While the U.S. is cutting billions from science and public health, China is making historic investments.

That means here in the U.S., fewer breakthroughs, slower medical advances, and a serious risk of falling behind globally. I don't think anything about that is efficient. I think that it is actually profoundly inefficient. As she would know, Chelsea Clinton is using her expertise in public health to break down what these cuts really mean and why protecting science isn't just smart policy, it's a necessity. This week on Dope Labs, we're putting it all under the microscope with Chelsea Clinton, diving into what's at stake for science, medicine, and our future.

Listen to Dope Labs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And this is the public service announcement part of the show where we tell you how to avoid reenacting a scene from final destination. Essentially, just please stop wearing metal near MRI scans, please iron and the like. This is a type of metal. I did not know people were wearing. It is not earrings.

Yes. No, no, no. Like a belt buckle. No, this is wearing. It is not earrings. Yes. No, no, no. Like a belt buckle. No, this is okay. So this is really fucked up. So this man in New York was with his wife as she was getting her

knee scanned at an open MRI facility. They thought the machine was off apparently because his wife was like, hey, can you help me up out of here? And so he was like, okay, let me enter the room now to help with the tech, with the MRI tech. They're operating it went in there. But here's the thing. This man, this is from the Guardian article, or this is written up,

quote, the technician operating the machine, which looks like a long narrow tube with openings on each end, then allowed Keith to walk in while he wore a nearly 20 pound metal chain that he used for weight training. So the guy was wearing a 20 pound metal chain around his neck. I guess. Look like I didn't know this was a thing. But maybe I don't go to some thick ass like near anchor chain level kind of shit where it's like, I'm gonna put this fucking 20 pound workout chain on. Again, as somebody who's not working out, let alone their neck specifically with chains, I couldn't tell you, but I'd imagine it's something very industrial

looking and again, just straight up metal. So then when that happened, he was, quote, sucked into the device by its potent magnetic force and endured a quote, medical episode, which left him in critical edition. And then he was, he passed away a day later. He was quote sucked into the device by its potent magnetic force and endured a quote medical episode Which left him in critical condition and then he was he passed away a day later And I'm like how the fuck is this possible? Like you're already like you have a death magnet machine and then you let a guy Saunter in with a fucking 20 pound iron chain around his neck

I just feels so negligent on the part of like the MRI facility. But apparently this wasn't the first time he wore the chain into the clinic. His wife told News 12 that she and her husband had previously been to NASA, NASA open MRI, and he had worn his weight training chain there before. This was not the first time that guy had seen that chain. She's told the station. They had a conversation about it before. She's it's just like that has to be like MRI tech training. Number one, right?

Like, aren't there signs all over those rooms? I'm like, yo, do not get the fuck out of here. If you have metal, uh, it's been many years since I had an MRI scan on my knee. It's when I had Osgood Schlager's my growing pains. But anyway, I've not been recently. I don't know if you have Andrew or have any insights to- I've had a couple scans. My chain, I left at home. Smart. Good. I think we've got to turn this open MRI into a closed MRI. I don't think they deserve close it down to maintain the open MRI status. Right. Yeah.

And yeah, real sad, real sad for this woman. Real sad for this woman. And your MRIs were recreational. They weren't even medical. They were just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mine were just for fun. Yeah, I just I like the beeps. I like the sounds. I like the vibe.

And then you're like, hey, tell me my brain's good. Yeah, what does the scan the beeps. I like the sounds I like the vibe and then you're like a tell me my brain's good Yeah, what does the scan say my brain's good? Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah an IQ. No, they said my brain my brain was so dense and smart that they actually couldn't even scan it Oh, wow, that felt good. Yeah, that's sick Bosong sorry, yes There's a big red axe on the screen Good, I think that's good. But just like this story sounds like the like the like a wacky incident from like the early days of MRI scans or it's like, ah, okay, don't have all these oxygen tanks near the magnetic.

I don't want to be the devil's advocate because this is a new story. So who knows? But the article that I was reading said that that he ran in and they told him not to. But I don't know who I don't I don't want a victim blame. I don't know who I don't want to be the devil's advocate because this is a new story so who knows but the article that I was reading said that that he ran in and they told him not to but I don't know who I don't I don't want a victim blame here I don't know who's at multiple accounts either way I'd be like I would be like sir don't even come into my MRI imaging facility with this fucking thing on yeah I don't even I agree with that

I know what can happen and I don't care if it's your right to work. Work out over there because I don't want the trauma of something terribly happening, and I have to bear witness to that. Please. It's just very again. It just feels like so multiple failures at every level. When I'm like, it's what's it called? Magnetic resonance imaging is what MRA stands for. I did like a full body scan thing in one of those

a couple of years ago. And like, while I was in there for like an hour and they let you watch TV in the one that I was in. It's like, real lying. It was really interesting. You're lying down and as you're looking up you're looking at a mirror of a TV that's like behind a wall behind you,

like behind plexiglass or something. Oh, right. Okay, so right. This is like really. Yeah, put an iPad So, right. It's like they're gonna put it, yeah, put an iPad above his face. It's not in there, but it's really, the way they did it was really interesting. Like you're looking up at a mirror of a TV that's behind, I don't know, it's kind of cool. That's how serious they are. They've like invented new magic castle type shit to avoid there being any metal in there. And then this guy or the tech was just like, yeah, come on in here.

Yeah. They're consulting with David Copperfield to let you watch Netflix. I do feel like particularly called to this type of, like, I could see something bad like this happening to me. Like just, I don't know. Oh no. This feels... Real. You know, like they talk about the call of the void. The people who are like, you know, standing on the edge the call of the void the people who are like You know standing on the edge of a building and they're just like but what if I? Are in the head-on traffic anytime like you know, there's the garbage disposal is going in the sink and I'm just like, you know

What if I just I don't want to I I want not to, but it's like. You're parked outside of the MRI center with your wife and you got like a giant metal chain in one hand and a plastic one in the other. And you're like, which one do I? Anyways, or do I wear my plastic chain with a bunch of nails, construction nails on it? Huh? So many options, but yes, please. God, like, like to the point, right?

Like final destination creates these like sort of weird phobias for us or movies do that I can't like y'all come on now. We should be terrified of MRI machines. Just with something going awry at this point. Like every time when I've driven, I remember driving through Washington State once and being near like a logging truck. And I was like, I'm like, bro, I'm getting off the fucking highway, dude.

I don't even want to be near this shit because I saw a movie when I was 14. That movie, yeah. I do wonder if that movie like caused a drop in deaths by logging truck. I don't know how common they were in the first place. Right. I've definitely been way more careful around logging trucks since seeing that movie.

I used to be a wild man. You were a reckless. I came to logging trucks. Whatever the equivalent of birding is, I was doing that for logging trucks. Just trying to get real close. You played a game, you're like, you see a log, you close your eyes and step on the gas. That's right.

I mean, Jackie, you clearly didn't learn your lesson with the garbage disposal. You're like, it makes me want to touch it a little bit. I don't want to. I just know the possibility is there. You know what I mean? That's what the call of the void is. It's not, it's not somebody who's like, I want to do this. There's a part of you that recognizes, I's there's a part of you that recognizes.

I think it's a part of me that recognizes how little I'm in control of that. Or like how, how much of my mental faculties are happening, like, you know, in a part of my brain that I don't have access to, you know what I mean? Then you're like, why am I into this? Yeah. Why am I so horny right now? It's calling you like the ring of power. It's like, how should I just put out a ring?

I think it's just, it's one of those things where just like such a small shift has, can have such profound consequences is an interesting concept, I think. Yeah, like if you just did this one small thing, everything would be quite different. I think that's, that's, that's the smart version of what we're trying to say for sure. I think people talk about it with regards to like grabbing a cop's gun, like when you're like out and there's a cop right there. Oh yeah.

I'm not looking at that gun. Oh yeah, you're looking at it. I think everyone looks at a cop's gun. Yeah, yeah. And go, hmm, hmm. You're like that Britney Broski meme. Yeah, exactly. All right.

Let's talk about the Catholic Church, shall we? Thank you. It is Tuesday. We've got a- Later stories. When Hollywood inevitably reboots The Exorcist, I firmly believe they should make it about this. The cofiest one. There's a story published in The Pillar, which I don't have to say this, I hope,

but it's a journalistic outlet that covers the Catholic Church, covers the world of Catholicism. But we all knew that. So this story went viral. I wonder how many The Pillar stories go viral. But I can never tell when they go viral because I get my pillar in the mail. I get it delivered. In your mail. Yeah, mine comes hard copy.

So I don't do the social media thing. Back to your hand. But I've cut out a few stories. Let me look at the ones I've cut out though. That'll help you. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I missed this one when I was reading it yesterday. So underrated. Reading The the pillar in paper form.

As the Pope intended. So, this story revealed that a group of Denver seminarians, again, I'm not going to have to tell anybody what seminarians are, but just in case, these are people training to become priests, were subjected to a strange ritual involving fake blood and a Yeti costume. They were woken up in the middle of the night and told they had to participate in a, quote, sacred tradition, which involved being led into a trailer where a priest dressed as a Yeti performed a fake ritual involving grisly blood. He warned them, if you enter into this family, there's no going back.

And the seminarians were told to scream as if in pain before leaving the trailer with bloodied hands and taped mouths. And then just like went back and like washed up. Oh, but then they had to go into the next room because they would come out to freak out the next batch of. Oh, training. So like, so freak them out. So then when they when they go in, they're like, oh, no, you guys are bloody and.

Scream. Oh, it's a classic Yeti blood fake out. Yeah. I thought you knew the classic Yeti blood fake out. Yeah. Yeah. And also, this is why. Sorry, you grant was you grant behind this? I think you might have. This sounds like that movie that was also set in Colorado. I don't know. Oh, shit. It was set in Boulder.

This feels again. This is why this is peak virgin behavior. Like doing shit like this. We do get their ass. Man, y'all should be fucking, bro. What is this? The fuck are you? I feel like we're gonna do a Yeti blood oath tonight. Get their ass miles. Man, y'all should be fucking, bro. What is this? The fuck are you?

I would be so pissed off if I'm like, if I even was trying to do something serious and like, and we're gonna do the Yeti blood oath. I'm like, you guys are fucking losers, dude. What? It was already a stretch, me dedicating my life to the fucking church, but now we're doing Yeti blood oath shit? Fuck outta here. Come on. The photos are not. They're, I don't oath shit fuck out of here. Come on photos are not

There I don't like them. It's tough. So yeti is tricky because I don't find yeti scared I only know it is like Harry and the Hendersons like I don't find it interesting or scary Or you're a Disney adult who loves the Matterhorn. Right. Our virgins were talking about Jack. It's from the Matterhorn. They love fucking Disneyland. But their mileage varies wildly around Yeti stuff. Like some people seem to just really love Yeti shit, like be real all in on it.

You know? I feel like Yeti is one of those things that I dismiss, but I'm also like very interested in aliens and UFOs. So like, you know, it's just one of those things that I think has like a deep spiritual power over certain people that I wouldn't ever again, Virgin. When I say certain people, you of course know that I'm referring to the Virgin. Oh no. Jack's kids are all conceived through IVF, I think. Yeah. The way that like artists and

you know, Star Wars and shit like that. Like I feel like for a certain people like Yeti. Star Wars isn't for virgins, dude. I never said it was. I would never. You were impl... it was I would never you were in I don't know the employee I don't know Cuz I've I'll I do sex dude. I've done sex Before so and I fuck with Star Wars man find a new angle, dude. I Don't I don't know. Do you guys like fuck with yetis at all? Are you interested in like yeti sightings, big foot sightings?

I mean, yeah. Yeah, I even grew up in the woods and I just, I grew up in like the middle in Colorado and I just, I never really cared or thought of it. I just feel like, I just feel like, I don't know. Like at this point there would be something about it if it was legit. That's what I think.

But even if it wasn't legit, it's like they find new animals in the ocean all the time. And it's not like a big deal. It's like, oh, I guess there was a thing we didn't think about. I don't know. Even if there was a yeti, it's kind of like it's is it just like a different kind of animal? I don't know. It doesn't even feel that relevant or that important. Right. And yet, unless it's like people are obsessed. If people were

like mysteriously getting killed in the woods like every month, you know, like, then I think that the story would be more interesting. Oh, you are about to hear from some people. Okay, then they will tell you that that is exactly what's happening. Do they really claim because okay, because I guess I thought that they were just saying that there are sightings, but they're saying that they're actually like people are getting killed and stuff. Oh, yeah Okay, you don't know about the mysterious disappearances in the state parks, man Okay, I'm in I mean you look at a map you look at where people have disappeared from. Yeah I guess I didn't realize it was that okay. Couldn't be human murders

Yeah, but this the way first of all this the pillar right up, it's a sub stack, which I love. And like there's an editor's note, which is so funny how like insular this like field of journalism must be said, quote, owing to pre existing relationships or other circumstances, which could constitute a potential conflict of interest. Neither J.D. Flynn nor Michelle La Rosa contributed to the reporting or editing of this story. I'm sorry. Are you related to the fucking Yeti priest or something? And you don't want to snitch? The way this sounds is really...

We couldn't be fully objective on this one, guys. This is so painful. It says, when the seminarians entered the trailer, the seminarians were met by Father Friar Napil, who can be seen in the video setting up a camera to record the occasion alongside a man dressed in a Yeti costume. Each seminarian was then invited to sit at the table on which there was a dagger and what appeared to be

blood and a dollar bill on a piece of paper. This is giving such virgin horror movie bullshit I've ever in a video the ritual seen by the pillar the seminarian asked if he has quote any ideas what's going to happen to which the seminarian response no quote you're about to enter into a sacred tradition. Are you ready for it? The seminary and also in front of the people

who come up here, not everyone makes it to enter into the tradition. And he said, you guys have the balls. This is such, this is like snipe hunt shit when you're doing boy scouts. I'm really impressed with how you're handling this. Yeah. Also like this is the most sacrilegious shit ever.

I know. And they just got, and this is going to surprise anybody who's familiar with Catholicism, but because no canonical crime had occurred, the priest slash yeti was given a slap on the wrist and merely reassigned. Oh, oh, well, that is the ultimate punishment in the Catholic Church. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got that muscle worked out real nice. What'd they do? Let me see, is there, I don't know, is penal code 290, section 315 in the, no, I guess, no, I guess we'll just have to reassign them. An important aspect of this is that the church, like, so I, the thing

that I was assuming the church would be like, this is ridiculous the church, like, so I, the thing that I was assuming the church would be like, this is ridiculous. We're mad at you. Like, this is like mocking Catholicism by like wearing a spirit Halloween yeti costume and like making that a part of our like very serious, like ancient tradition where like, we like wear robes and whip ourselves or whatever. Instead, they were mad and brought in an exorcist to reverse. They're saying it's legit. Kind of.

Which one is it? Again, is it no canonical crime has been committed, but then you need an exorcist to come up and clean up the vibes? The exorcist prayed over the seminarians and they made a formal renunciation of this blood oath that they had made. But it doesn't say whether the seminarians had asked to swear, had been asked to swear an oath of no take backs when they were first doing it because if they had the form, if they had done a no take backs, then the formal renunciation

actually holds no water. Uh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. They said it's immature. I mean, yeah, no shit. Cause you have a bunch of emotionally stunted dudes doing weird blood oath crap. It's just like, okay, no, you're, you're, you're having them sort of whatever. Like now, now my inner Catholic teacher is coming out. This is not, this is not a game. This is demonic.

This goes back to my point that my pitch for Catholicism and all organized religion get into the psychedelics thing. Like this is your future. They, they, there was a study that, I mean, they've done multiple studies, but studies where they had priests and like people who were religious leaders taking psychedelics and they were like, wow, this is like a powerful religious experience and like make that your thing would be so good for organized religion and be a lot cooler if you did. No, no, we want to do like a weird janky haunted house type thing.

That's what we need to be able to open their eyes to God. All right. We should go to the Catholic churches and wear like shirts that say hashtag let them fuck. Yeah. That's our platform. With a Yeti though, it's like a speech bubble coming out of a Yeti. Let them rock. It's very confusing.

Yeah. Leave me alone. Let them fuck. what you are fucking Gets us. Okay. The next one is uh, what's your fucking my fucking is playing the Nintendo switch to my fucking is Weirdly yeti blood oaths for some reason. I don't know what wires got crossed.

never sat down and actually got into The Return, but it's just like, I mean, it just does such incredible daring things for a television show and it's like truly a masterpiece.

front yard and he was like, I'm going to need this man. Like I used to, I used going to need this. Man. I used to just put a wine cork, like a corkscrew from a wine bottle into the, the sticks I had all the time. Cause I didn't have a, like, I had no metal tools that were available because my parents hit all the knives, but the wine corkscrew was there. So I would just put these like corkscrews into sticks. I'm doing woodwork, baby. Sounds like you might've had the call of the void yourself. Your parents hit all the knives, he says, casually.

Yeah, this is a track from Arsenio Rodriguez, who is a Cuban musician, a descendant of Congolese slaves, and just like a pioneer in terms of like the what like what he's done for Latin music. Some say, you know, like he's basically the work that he did gave way to salsa. This is a track that I heard that was just so fucking dope like the guitar playing it all it sounds it almost feels

modern because it's sort of like amplified in this really kind of crunchy way but it's just really dope it's called Linda Cubana and it's by Arsenio Rodriguez it's just a really really fucking cool track and I think it must have been recorded, obviously, like decades ago, but it just has such a, I don't know, there's such a quality to it that makes it feel very timeless. So check it out, Arsenio Rodriguez with Linda Cubana.
