And thank you so much for having us. Pula V, where can we find you? What? Thank you so much. Goodbye. We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious comedian Pula V Gunalan. Hi. Welcome back.

It's me. It's you. How have you been since last we spoke? Good, I hope. Yeah. Good. Pretty good. Pretty wild.

Trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Comedy's still up there, though? Comedy. On that list? Comedy is number one. I thought you'd come here and be like, yeah, I don't do with my life. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Comedy is still up there, though? Comedy is number one. I thought you'd come here and be like, yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know why you guys are into this comedy stuff so much. Yeah, I just come here and I'm like, yeah,

I've completely switched careers entirely from the two that I had. I now build trains. Great. Build trains. Holy shit. I'm a train builder. By yourself? What kind of system?

Just like in my basement. Steve Howard? Just in your Howard? Oh, no. I'm an engineer of trains. Very cool. Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better and probably find out more about that.

We're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're talking about Greta Thunberg holding it down for the world. Literally everyone. A little bit more on the whistleblower story. We're going to talk about the Emmys. We're going to talk about the showdown between the Bagel Boss guy and Lenny Dykstra. We're going to talk about another Lenny.

It's a Lenny-ful episode because Lenny Kravitz has a problem and he needs our help to solve it. We're going to talk about Tinder's new streaming show. All of that and plenty more. But first, we'd like to ask our guest, Pallavi, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Okay. I was on Bumble and I saw this guy that looked a lot like Jaboukie Youngwhite. So then I had to look up who his brothers were to make sure it wasn't one of his brothers. It wasn't. Because it also was

somebody whose name was Jarvis. So I was like, that's pretty close to Jaboukie, Javay. You never know. All of his brothers are named J.A. And I was like, this guy looks a lot, what if it's the lost brother that they don't talk about? He recently found

that person on Twitter. I think like three weeks ago there was some dude who looked exactly like him. Exactly like him. Really? And then he was like, who the fuck is this dude?

Oh shit, I wonder if it's the same guy. I don't know if he lived, was this in LA? Yeah, this is on Buffalo, LA. I think this was a person who lived somewhere else.

Did I forward you guys that picture of the lion costume? Oh, yes, that someone spotted you on a bag costume? Yeah, it's like my picture, but they're wearing a lion costume. It's like the model on the side of a cheap Halloween costume. Cheap Halloween lion costume. Here, that's just for your reference. Oh my God, yes. Isn't that weird?

It looks... And you're not getting a check for that. Now I can't see you without the black nose. Right, without a lion. Yeah. This guy does have a bit more of a square face than you. Right. That's how I know it's not you.

Yeah. More manly jawline. Yeah. And the hands are very sure. Yeah. The hand placement is very confident. Looks like he knows what he's doing. He's like, hey, this is where hands go.

This is where a lion, this is how I've never had. Hey, this is where hands go. I know what to do with my hands. Don't tell me. He's modeling. He's like, that's the only thing I know. Yeah. He's like, I don't know what I'm doing in this costume.

I don't know how much I'm getting paid, but I damn sure well know what these hands do. What do these hands do? What those hands do. What those hands do. What is something you think is overrated? Okay, hold on. Overrated. Private transit.

Yeah. I think it's overrated. I take public transit a lot because I'm broke. But also, I continue to do so because I think it's better for the environment and stuff. And also, if more people use it, then they'll invest more stuff in it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. We'd all benefit.

And LA is literally, there couldn't be a city that needs it more, but the people cannot, we don't have the infrastructure to move in certain directions that we need to to make it convenient. If you have a very specific commute, I feel like it's easy for very specific routes, I feel like. But sort of going from east to west, north to south in huge sweeping ways isn't as easy as it could be. And sometimes it takes less time because it goes underground. Did we talk about this last time about how a lot of the private car companies had influence on where the highways would be so that it would fuck up the public transit in la and that's why it's so weird uh well no but i mean i do know that like coke industry's

uh arm of political action groups have kind of been interesting bedfellows with like places like uber because their dream is to just kneecap public transit yeah are you talking about like back in the 50s yeah this is like back in the day when the highways were being built i mean yes we've definitely talked about that i think think, in past episodes. Maybe not specifically when you were on, but yeah. Yeah, isn't that crazy? Yeah, LA had a pretty extensive electric cable car system. And then that got torn up.

I've read people have kind of debunked that theory that it was the private car companies that came in. But I don't know. I haven't read up. I've read up a lot on the theory and details that make it seem like it's true. Well, I'm sure they lobbied hard to get those infrastructure improvements built. So it incentivizes automobile use. I mean, it's almost like not a conspiracy. It's like how America works.

So I don't know. But yeah, now that we've made a few adjustments to like our air quality regulations, you can see stuff in LA now. It's not perfect. I have bad Angeleno habits because I grew up here and there was no public transit really as a kid. I mean, I would take the bus from school sometimes, but I drive fucking so much, obviously. Do you ever get frustrated with

parking and tickets? Hell no, because I stay in the valley where parking is abundant and the weed flows like porn. It's the valley, baby. It's all digital weed now. I do get stressed out in certain parts of town because in my mind, in my mind, I'm like, nowhere to park there.

Or like if you do, it's going to take up a lot of your time. But that's like a habit I'm trying to break a little bit more because coming to Hollywood is easy from the valley. Because like luckily the red line is meant to sort of bring people from certain parts of the valley to this side. But you got to embrace it because our metro is pretty good. this side, but it's got to embrace it because our Metro is pretty, pretty good. Now, Pallavi, I can't help but notice that you are talking up a form of transit that you also build in your basement. Right. Yes.

Interesting. Trains. Yes. Very interesting. What is something you think is- I'm lobbying hard. Tell us about that investment opportunity you said you had. Oh, it's a monorail. A monorail? Monorail. We us about that investment opportunity you said you had. Oh, it's a monorail.

A monorail? Monorail. We talked about that last time, too. Is there a chance the track could bend? What is something you think is underrated? This sounds so bad. Arranged marriage, but in a modern sense. Okay.

Because in my extended family, there's arranged marriage, but it's like- Why did you use air quotes? Because it's not really what people think of it as uh because now in like the cities and in like you know more like liberal progressive families in india and stuff they like it's just like another dating app but like through your parents it's like they send each other like essentially like resumes the bio data okay pictures and they're like would your kid be interested in this girl or boy or you know whatever and then they like they're like, would your kid be interested in this girl or boy or whatever? And then they decide to meet.

And then the kids are like, I'm not feeling it. Or like, I am. But it's with the intent for marriage. So it's like an accelerated dating app that your family would approve of. So for some people, that works. For me, not at all. My parents have no idea what I would want. But for some people.

And how much agency do the bride and groom have in deciding whether or not. So they can be like, I'm not feeling this done. It's a wrap. Next. Swipe. Left. Right. Yes.

So it's almost just like switching up. You've never used the apps before? Well, I don't have thumbs. Right. It's almost like switching up the order of, like, how dating goes in a lot of like modern circumstances which is just that like you bring them home to the parents and the parents are like nah yeah or it's like that mtv show where the parents approved but like way less white trash right dude i love those because like the boyfriend would always be like hate the parents because they're obviously a terrible partner to their child or whatever.

Right. Dude, I can't wait till the fucking dad sees me. I'm not going nowhere, bro. Right. Yeah. So what? I fucking crashed my dirt bike with their daughter on the back and we broke our bones, but it's all good, dude.

Right. And then at the end, he gets dumped and he's like, what? Yeah. Yeah. He's always shocked. And the dad is always like, yeah, fuck you. And you're like, what is is was this really about the dad just hating the guy whatever

once you see the dad you're like that's why she's dating the guy so what kind of arranged what would be your ideal arranged marriage air quote arranged marriage for me I don't believe in marriage but for other people but I think for other people

it would be good yeah yeah I mean the parental barrier but then it's like then I would be suspicious of my parents I'm like

where are the freaks at though mom wouldn't you be more suspicious if they were no if they kept hooking you up

with freaks then I'll be like yo mom what what are you guys I want grandkids by any means necessary. Right, right.

Give me these grandkids. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. Because there are like certain people who it's very important to them that their parents

like approve or they, either that or they've like internalized like what their parents would think of somebody. But I also think some people are just close

to their families and they like share the same values. Totally. You know, other people, I don't i don't know but i feel like i'm too like too much of a wild card my aunt uh will always like call me and

be like i know a good cindy boy and i'm like auntie based on my facebook statuses can you really predict like who you could find for my personality and it's just silence and she's like when are you coming to visit like have, have you seen my Twitter feed? Yeah. Did you say something like, I need to put my pussy on do not disturb or some shit like that? I said, put my pussy on night mode. Yeah, I think your aunts can see that. She's like, I don't know.

Does her random humor appeal to you? Are you able to put it on night mode for her? Sometimes I just tweet like phrases. Yeah, no, I laugh. It's so stupid. I remembered. And I sent them to your aunt too. Great.

Finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? So I feel like people already know this, but the first computer programmer was a woman Ada Loveless and she like I think when she was a teen she like met up with this guy who was like building like one of the first like computer type machines um and she like wrote the first program to generate Bernoulli numbers which is like a series of numbers um but she was like a fucking genius and she was a baller because she like knew she was a

genius and she was like people will figure it out later and she died at like 36 of cancer but she had already like done it she was like a brilliant mathematician and programmer in the 1800s oh shit yeah i thought it was gonna be like the and that guy that she met bill gates bill gates no all her ideas she died she died in 1852. Oh, wow. And then, yeah, I think, like, I was looking up the numbers. The New York Times has, like, an article about the secret history of female programmers or something. And there was, like, 25% was, like, where it started because dudes were like, we want to build the hardware. That's where all the strength is.

And so they just, like, had women program, program like in the 50s, in the 1950s. And then I think around like after the 90s, like so it went up to like 36 or 37 percent of women were programmers. And then it dropped back down to like 25 in the like the 90s. And I think it has to do with like marketing and how they marketed computers and stuff. Right, right, right. For boys. It's blue, so like dudes use it. Right.

It depends on what flavor you get. Yeah. A Bi-Mac. That's why I only have Cherry Gatorade for girls. Cherry Gatorade, and I drink Riptide Rush. Yeah. I mean, the entire history of the sciences seems like it's just overtly, consciously writing women out of the history.

Yeah. Were those first computers like steam powered things that were using like punch cards or some shit? Like how did it? It was like before they had the technology to actually build computer computers. So what would code look like then? I don't know.

It was called a, so the guy was Charles Babbage and it was a analytical engine. And I think she was the first one to like, Ada saw like this technology and was like, this is going to make graphics. She predicted everything we're doing now. It was...

It looked like this, actually. It was a trial model of part of it. It looked like that. The Illuminati gave her cancer to make it so that... Thank you. Speak facts to this.

It looks like an electronic abacus, almost. Yeah, it's like a big, there's a lot of spokes and shit. Wheels. A bit of a loom. There's literally like no wheels. Oh, there's a little bit kind of. Gears. Gears.

I don't know. Name some other parts. There's a lever. There of. Gears. Gears. I don't know. Name some other parts. There's a lever. Names for things. There's a crack shaft over in one. You got the bars. Bars. Yeah, there's some bars in there.

Bars. All right, let's talk about Greta Thunberg. She spoke at the UN's Climate Summit. Yeah. I don't know. Felt very moving. I'll say that. Very, like, earnest.

Yeah. Well, the summit itself was, like, a mixture of, you know, other countries being like, this is what we're doing to fight climate change. And, like, then being businesses being like, let's pat ourselves on the back for doing less than the bare minimum. But it's something, so we'll pretend it's revolutionary. Right. And, you know, again, we are this the situation that the planet is in is serious. It's dire. And meanwhile, the like the world leaders are getting together to kind of be like, yeah, man, like what we're doing is pretty chill. Let's look in.

Let's keep going and we'll do the right thing. So when Greta Thunberg got up to speak, she gave a very sober assessment of everything and we'll just let her words speak for themselves because it's very moving to hear. This is probably like the first, you know, 30 or so seconds of what she said. This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean.

Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth how dare you um yeah and she went on just to continue to call out you know the world leaders for their inaction

how you know if they if they fail to act the the only logical conclusion for people of her generation and younger is to be like you are the people who like we are answering for your inaction the theme was basically how dare you and it's very it was very moving i wonder if like in when her generation gets to leader like leadership positions if in the same way that people are punished for like war crimes if people are going to be punished for like crimes against the earth right yeah right where they're retroactively that retrospectively be like um what and just so you know i think we already know y'all are the destroyers right um and here we go i'm it's it uh at the or i thought your question was going to be like when they get older we're And just so you know, I think we already know y'all are the destroyers. Right. And here we go.

I thought your question was going to be like when they get older, what's going to happen when they sell out and they start getting those checks? No. Because I'm also curious what would happen. I mean, I think that happens a lot to every generation too. I don't even want to introduce that possible narrative, not especially to what she's doing. Wow, I guess I'm just more optimistic. No, no, no.

Not in that sense. I have nothing negative to say about her. I feel like this just more optimistic. No, no, no. Not in that sense. I have nothing negative to say about her. I feel like this ties in with the younger generation being more about socialism than capitalism. It's like the idea

of just constant, consistent, long-term capitalistic growth, like market growth, just doesn't work for the long-term sustenance of our species right and yeah it doesn't matter if we're all fucking dead yeah and that's the thing is like i i feel like a lot of times people like frame it as like oh you know they're tree huggers but like the it is a it is a war crime essentially i mean you're killing people by ignoring these problems.

It's happening right now. People who are deeply concerned about the climate are not tree huggers. We don't want to die-ers. Right. That's what it is. And I think to frame it like that is so disingenuous. And to think even now, right? She goes on in her speech to say, you know, you've been looking at research for 30 years

and have done fuck all. And like everything you've done has been minimal. Or like what's the cost not realizing this is not the game we're in. It's fucking do or die right now. And the disingenuous attacks sort of continue too, especially from the right, because

on Fox and Friends, they had this fucking moron on. His name is Mark Moreno or Morano or whatever the fuck his name is to basically talk about, you know, they were very flippant about the climate strikes on Friday. And then in response to this, they were basically trying to paint Greta Thunberg as like this fear monk. I don't know. Listen to this really interesting assessment from the right of what Greta Thunberg is standing for.

What is it about her that is interested in so many young people? Well, she sells fear. Greta Thunberg started in Sweden every Friday outside the Swedish parliament, and it spread to skip school in order to have a future. In other words, she's actually said, and she's addressed the EU,

the United States Congress testified that why should kids go to school if they have a future that will be no more unless government passes laws like the Green New Deal, more UN treaties, etc. So this message of fear- And is it working in Sweden? It worked in Sweden, it's working in Europe, and now it's come to the US. The message of fear sells. There's reports now in Europe where kids are getting anti-anxiety medication they believe they're going to die she is the greta effect she's causing and instilling fear in millions of kids around the world and actually has them believing that government can legislate our climate in other words if we pass the green new deal in america these kids can all go back to school yeah i mean

you just offer you offer these kids what I mean, you just offer these kids. What are you talking about? You offer these kids lollipops and tell them there's a monster in their closet. Exactly. And they're going to be freaking out. Telegotchies with their Pokemans. Jesus Christ. He made all of our points for us.

Yeah. Which is a condescender. He was like, the government can't legislate. Literally, you can. Well, that guy, first of all, he could not embody the position of the fossil fuel industry even more. He's like the manifestation of everything that is wrong with climate change denial. I mean, not that everything is wrong about climate change denial, but he is like it. He's the human version of it.

He always talks about climate change. He has a quick search on Amazon for his work. He has one book called The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change. Boom. Boom. Owned. And on the back cover. People are too PC about climate change.

No, I agree. The whole thing is like, you think you know all about climate change, but did you know the world is spending nearly $1 billion a day to prevent global warming? Is that a bad thing? Okay. It's like not enough. spending nearly $1 billion a day to prevent global warming. Is that a bad thing? Okay. Scientific. Not enough. A UN scientist has said the 97% consensus quote on global warning was quote pulled from

thin air. The plant. A scientist. Yeah. Climate policies are crushing the world's poor. Oh, so I'm guessing that a person reading this is so concerned about the world's poor. Right. That they're like, well, actually.

Right. Again. reading this is so concerned about the world's poor right that they're like well actually right again and then they say and meanwhile uh major hurricane landfalls in the united states have declined over the past 140 years f3 or larger tornadoes have been in decline since the 1970s antarctica is actually gaining ice like jesus christ okay you know what there should be a requirement uh that everybody has to have a ph PhD in order to run for a public office. Seriously, at some point. That should be. At this point.

Who published that book? It's like self-published. It's self-published. I'm pretty sure it was for free at a certain point. But he managed to get a blurb from Sean Hannity on it that says, the climate scare stops here. Yep. Boom. Did you guys see the two things with Greta that happened this morning and yesterday?

Did you see the Dinesh D'Souza tweet? Yes. Yeah. So let's talk about that. Children, notably Nordic white girls with braids and red cheeks, were often used in Nazi propaganda. An old gerbils technique looks like today's progressive left is learning its game from an earlier left in the 1930s. And he had Nazi propaganda right next to her. Yeah.

So, I mean, yeah, you know, killing Jews and kill and saving the environment. Same thing. Yeah. Nice try guys.

Nice try. What's your braids? Nice. Hitler that was uploaded to the cloud. Right. Trying to do your work now in the future. Braids and braids. Enough said.

Also, your honor. So Nazis are bad. Case Honor. So Nazis are bad? Case closed. So Nazis are bad? Pick a fucking side. Which one is it? Because half the time you're trying to obscure

what the Nazis actually were. You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, the thing that was bad about the Nazis was that they were too leftist. Right. So they were socialists. Right.

Because I'm going to use that. I'm going to focus on a very one-dimensional understanding of certain things and be like, that's what that is. So yeah, that's why they're bad. Not because of the genocide and Holocaust. People are so dumb. I can't get over how dumb people are.

Well, it just shows you too. I don't understand. Again, if people on the right are so concerned about denying that this is happening, can we just, like I keep saying, let's get a sign-up sheet. People who don't believe in climate change. Yes. Sign your name to the cursed earth where you will have to live. Because if you want to act like it's not real, then when the shit hits the fan, you're the first volunteers to just stay behind because it's not real.

Right. You'll survive. Like there's I mean, the rich are so insulated. There's like like they're not even going to be the ones to die in the next hundred years. Right. Like it's going to be everybody else and they're going to be like up in their towers. Right. Oh boy.

And also. They're private jets. It's the people. It tends to be people who are going to be long dead by the time this shit starts hitting the fans. Right. Exactly. It's easy for them.

And that was really the cutting thing about what Greta said. It was like, how dare you come to the youth for fucking hope over this? What the fuck? Yeah. They have none. I mean, not that they have none, but it's such a different... I mean, when I was a kid, Jack, when you were contemporaries, climate change was a very...

Well, come on, man. We would have been in high school. Come on, man. We would have been friends. Come on. Come on. Really? You don't think so? Anyway, I'm saying when we were kids. You would have been way too cool for me. I was five years older than you and you would have been way too cool for me. Like he's making me smoke weed, guys.

I like it. Like back then, climate change was a thing that was acknowledged, I think in like in progressive cities, maybe as like, yeah, man, that is something, but it was not,

there was no urgency. Yeah. And now like we do have, like now these kids, it's much different. It's like, no, this is the thing that's going to fuck everything up. Well, I think because of the acceleration of the understanding of the situation. Right. With the climate change report like last October or whatever, that was like a huge significant piece of information that had like very specific numbers for like temperature increases in very specific zones. And they had multiple levels of it.

They had one for policymakers, which was the dumbed-down version, which is the one that I read. And it had an accumulation of scientists from all over the world and how sure they were about each fact. So I think as people became more aware of how urgent this is, and it's been accelerating, they were able to spread that information more but yeah it's but now it's like what do we do you know because i mean we know what we need to do but there's the odds are really bad yeah but you can't not do anything of course no not at all that's the problem i think that like most people

are like well it's so big and like it's already bad like there's nothing we can do and it's like no there are like ways to like alleviate the issue or like to make it not as horrible. But I think that's the logic being applied to some of these world leaders. Like, well, we're supposed to fundamentally change like everything about how we're doing stuff in our country.

I know, but that's literally how they say it. Right. It's not even like that. It's obvious where other people are like, we need to fundamentally change how we do everything to address this. And some people are like, are we sure we need to do that? And not acknowledging that's where we are right now.

Yeah. I had never heard her speak before that clip. And there's like something, it just seems like, okay, she's in this completely different headspace from where the conversation has been before, where it's almost like a spiritual. It's just totally she's actually thought it through and is kind of moving things in a direction they need to move. Visceral anger without compromise. Right. But meanwhile, on the right, another thing that's happening on the right is there was an image that was circulating over the weekend

after people were saying, yeah, they want to clean up the earth. Well, maybe start by throwing away your garbage. And they had a picture that was supposedly after the climate strike with like garbage all over a field. And that it was actually like a fake image. It was from a like 420 celebration. Oh, come on. Four years ago.

Yeah. Yeah. It's just, you know. Did you see what happened? I don't know if you guys are going to talk about this tomorrow, but what happened this morning was that she and 15 other children filed a complaint. Oh, yeah, against. With the UN.

Right. Saying that five of the world's major economies have violated their human rights by not taking adequate action to stop the unfolding climate change crisis. Yeah. And she's right. Fucking sue the world. Yeah. Fuck yeah. All right. she's right. Fucking sue the world. Yeah, yeah.

Fuck yeah. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.

And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradente. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history.

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a

joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.

Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And there was also a great gif, a great image of Greta at the U.N. and then standing to the side as Trump walked in full of bluster and just being like, yeah, now you're in my world, everyone, was sort of the vibe of watching that clip. Watching him just walk through the UN building was just like, he was Bobby Big Dick thinking he was so cool. But there's a reason he thinks he's so cool. And he's starting to, I mean, the Washington Post.

Neurosyphilis. But the Washington Post pointed out, I mean, it is kind of rational the way that he is operating because he is starting to believe he can get away with anything following the Mueller report. Because he is getting away with anything. if he can get away with anything, because he is the Mueller report, because he is getting away with anything. And they pointed out that this whistleblower story,

the call in question with the Ukrainian president happened the day after Mueller's testimony and people being like, well, that was a total loss. Like, and, you know, totally deflated the, the Democrats like passion to impeach him.

Right. The next day. after like a the uh the idea of him being held accountable for uh his working with foreign countries to uh influence the 2016 election uh is like sort of taken down a notch, he starts working with a foreign power to affect the 2020 election. Right, he's like, okay, they're taken. Okay, so that's, okay. It was a bit of a news- So you guys aren't gonna do shit?

Bit of a shit storm for the news, but functionally nothing happened. Right. So I guess- And a shit storm from the news where functionally nothing happens, that gives his whole thing energy. Right.

Because it's like, oh, watch me fucking transgress. And now I progress. But then he like, did he have a list where he was like all the shit with the Mueller report? And then he was like, next up, fuck with Biden. Like, does he, is there like logic to the next step? It's like, I think it's like a rat with a pellet. It's like, oh, that one wasn't electrified. So I'll keep eating it.

Who else am I mad at? Biden. Something about Biden. Right. And I mean, again, so with that whistleblower thing, there wasn't a lot of talk or whatever. Then Sunday, he finally admitted, he fucking admitted that the call happened. Okay. Interesting. Because he's probably got a lot more confidence about

this. And he says that the conversation I had was largely congratulatory was largely corruption all of the corruption taking place was largely the fact that we don't want our people like vice president biden and his son contributing to the corruption already in ukraine and then described the call as perfect with absolutely nothing wrong it was perfect and perfect the best call people are gonna hear and it's one of the best calls ever that they've ever heard. You should have seen it. Flawless victory. You guys listen to a lot of calls.

This is a good one. This is one of the good calls that you've ever heard. The call is great. Perfect. Perfect almost. 10 out of 10 call. What the fuck is that? I said hello.

I said goodbye. And then we talked to him. And then I said, okay, well, best wishes to you and yours. I bet he didn't even say that. No, not at all. Perfect meaning nothing untoward happened. So, I mean, the overall dynamic of the conversation and why this could be problematic is that Ukraine has been trying to fight off Russia. Yeah.

Who he has interesting relationship to. And the U.S. has been withholding aid, military aid, to the Ukraine, which ties with his overall vibe towards Russia.

And apparently we're not supposed to call it the Ukraine. We're just supposed to refer to it as Ukraine. And I'll try and do that going forward. But I have it in my head

from the episode of Seinfeld where do that going forward. But, uh, I have it in my head from, uh, the episode of Seinfeld where they're playing risk and he says, the Ukraine is weak. Yeah. So Ukraine is trying to fight off Russia and, you know, Trump's like withholding military aid.

And it seems like, you know, this could be a carrot and a stick situation. Well, it's just, of course, I mean, you know, the timing stunk like shit, basically. And here's the other thing.

On that call, it wasn't just like a light suggestion. He brought it up eight fucking times. Yeah. So there was no, it wasn't like anything to hide behind. And this is where it gets like, you know, the Democrats have failed to hold this president accountable in so many ways but a lot of the room or the feeling is that if there's a transcript or recording of this call that were to come out it would help the a lot of undecided democrats come out because i guess suddenly this is the thing that they're gonna decide to put their foot down

about because i guess it's so sort of like objectively sort of like he's leaning on another government and withholding military aid to dig up dirt on a political opponent for an election. For an upcoming election. He's using, yeah, exactly, like the instability of a region to motivate them acting out in his interests. Yeah, it feels like more urgent than what happened with Russia, because in that case, like Russia was the like stronger. It's like building somebody up versus like tearing them down, right? So with Ukraine, like in these dire conditions, like to threaten their demise even further,

I think that that's like more of a violation of people's morals. Yeah, right. And, you know, Nancy Pelosi said some stuff. It wasn't necessarily convincing that we were like actually moving towards impeachment. But there are many undecideds who, for whatever reason, this is starting to move them a little bit closer. It feels like less political, I guess, somehow. I think like people are more upset, it seems like. Well, yeah. And then even Republicans are kind of pretending to give a shit.

Republican is kind of pretending. Well, one in one half, right? So Mitt Romney, you know, said out loud with his mouth or through a tweet with his hands that if, you know, it's true or whatever, it would be, quote, troubling to the extreme. And then to the extreme, he rocks a mic like a band. Exactly. And even Lindsey Graham, number one cheerleader, was saying the White House, he was actually suggesting the White House should release material to sort of clear the air because it's just too much drama. Because I think what is happening is that even Republicans are like, this is fucking not good. And again, you're going to need to give us some talking point to for cover because they need cover every fucking time something happens and taking this into an election among

the myriad of things that are making uh being a gop member of congress i guess uh what's the word i'm looking for untenable almost but i'm yeah so like they need another defense because there's another statistic that says only 40 percent of republicans who are in office when trump was inaugurated are leaving or gone. 40% are gone. Are gone or leaving or retiring or whatever. That's a big number. They get in that elevator when everyone's asking them questions. They don't say anything.

And then they just disappear and are never heard from again. They vanish to the land of cowards. Yeah. It's like the magic trick in the prestige. They just get in there and boom. And then they're replaced by another white man. Right. They're all twins.

Yeah. And no one noticed. In order to get into Congress, you have to be an identical twin that you've been keeping a secret your whole life. Yeah. And I was listening to that intelligence podcast that I listened to, Rational Security. And this was even before they had the details about what this was. I think they recorded it last week on Wednesday. But they were just talking about how worrying it is because a lot of the checks and balances

between the intelligence community and Congress are like norms based. And if it becomes a, you know, fuck you, sue me situation like it seems to be becoming with trump where he's like i don't have to give you anything who's gonna stop me then it really like it's a constitutional crisis it's like next level like okay we've never been in this situation before and the way the constitution is written is there's like a lot of things that are contradictory where it's like it's not clear who has the power and that's why it's worked so far because there's been like pushing back and forth over like 200 years. But now Trump is like finding those little creases,

those little pressure points in the U S constitution, pressing the shit out of them. He just really wants us to rewrite it to to include more voices that's what he that's the whole his whole game plan was like they're just like not enough lgbtq people and people of color that helped write the constitution so i'm gonna find all the holes in it yeah i'm gonna make sure that they have to rewrite the whole thing he's like y'all don't really even realize what i did to get out from the inside he's playing he's playing 40 chess mic drop i think with impeachment there's like the morality

issue of like setting the terms of impeachment for like future presidents and everything and then there's like the the game people are playing where they're like well what if it like martyrs him or what if it's like bad for the election or you know what i mean like so i feel like that's like part of the reason that people aren't willing to do it is because they're like worried about the implications for the immediate future as opposed to long term. And then there's like the calculus with like Pelosi, which is like, I don't want to put Democrats who are already in like more red, purple districts

to have to like be on that side and possibly lose the House. There's so many calculations going on, except for the one of just sort of like, this is fucking wrong yeah and what the fuck like what's the problem here you're using all these other and i guess that's the problem with a lot of the decision making here is there are so many factors that someone could consider but the sort of fundamental thing is that this president could possibly take us in a direction

fully that like we can't even come back from yeah and I get that, yeah, like would he be martyred if he was impeached and then removed from office that way? But I think even if he loses in 2020, there's gonna be a narrative for some people that it wasn't real. So it's, well, fucked either way. I mean, it's not gonna be peaceful or clean either way unless, and even then, people

talk about, well, maybe there's a video of something so terrible happening that even his supporters could look at. I don't know if that's really going to move the needle because they found a way to excuse everything from the death of children to pick one. How is there not one picture of him in blackface? How is he like,

how is he better off than Justin Trudeau? Well, the amazing thing is that he uh like with everything he does you know he says the quiet part out loud he walks around in orange face and so that's how he resists the temptation to wear black faces he seems to be covered in uh orange that's how he resists it. Every day he looks at his makeup kit, there's one orange and one black, and he's like, done. How do I? Orange, it's good enough. Yeah. Alright. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And the Emmys happened two nights ago. And ratings were at an all-time low. It was on Fox. I was so confused about that. I didn't even realize it was on Fox.

Yeah. Like, I was only, you know, truth be told, I only watched the first three awards because I wanted to see if my friends and dear family were going to win. They didn't. But still, congratulations for the nomination. And I was looking for it on CBS, NBC, ABC. I'm like, those are really where they are. Right. And then when I searched, I was like, Fox?

Yeah. This is very on Fox-like. Very Fox-like was that they put Jenny McCarthy out there on the red carpet. Oh, fuck. Are you fucking kidding me? Really? Yeah. I hate this bitch. Apparently, she's the host of that Masked Singer show.

How is she not in jail for all the anti-vax? I can't. They're one of the judges. Yeah, you know is she not in jail for all the anti-vax? I can't. Or one of the judges. Hey, you know, she's into wellness. Yeah, so. I hope she and Gwyneth Paltrow share a cell.

That's so fucked up for me to say. They actually had an interview. No! They did? Well, she interviewed Gwyneth Paltrow, who was there.

She's like, hey, what dumb shit do you believe in that'll get lots of money from people? Right. Oh, rub this silver on your neck. She's like, no, what dumb shit do you believe in that'll get lots of money from people? Right. Oh, rub this silver on your neck. She's like, no, it's got mercury in it.

Yeah. No, it's good, actually. When mercury is in retrograde, that means earth mercury is actually good for you. She was so bad, though, that, I mean, not that, like, I don't know. There are people who are really good at the red carpet interviews, and she is not one of them. Her name was trending for like 24 hours after, just based on how bad she was. She demanded that Julia Louis-Dreyfus do the Elaine dance.

Oh, no, she did not. She did, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus just quietly declined and walked away mid-interview. Yeah, I would. Yeah, and would. Yeah. And then she interviewed Christina Applegate and congratulated her on her first nomination, which it's her third, and then tried to back her way out of that poorly

and closed the interview by telling Christina Applegate that she wanted to be her when she grew up, when she was younger, even though they're the same age. What the fuck? Or like one year apart. Oh my God. So.

I mean, yes, I get it. Kelly Bundy, iconic. Right. But wow. Everything you said makes me die inside. Yeah. To think that you would even come up, you would pull up to Julia Louis-Dreyfus

and be like, do the fucking Elaine dance. Now I want to make it so that she interviews me and then I can just go at her about the vaccination stuff. If I'm on the red carpet and Jenny McCarthy is there,

she's fucked. How is Fox? Yo, but that's a testament to her staying power through even this one. And by the time you get there, she's still there and you're like,

I've been waiting for you. What are you saying? I can't make it by next week? No, no, no. I'm saying even if she's next Emmys. That zeit bump. If she's there by next Emmys it's unbelievable the loyalty of those shows.

It's going to be on PBS next time. The fact that there's a Fox executive who's out here being like Jenny McCarthy. Yeah. Yeah. So sad. She's a star.

I mean, it's the network that brought us Japanese people doing an eating contest with a bear. I loved that clip, though. That was crazy. Yo, me and my friend, we used to watch that back in the day when you would watch a TV show on the phone with somebody. We watched the Man vs. Beast specials just laughing. Because the Fox, like, in the early 2000s, those Fox specials were by far the most absurd things you could have ever watched. Right. Man vs. Beast.

Wait, I don't even know that. It was that. It would be, like, a group of little people doing a tug of war with, like, an elephant. Oh. It was pure bullshit. Was it Kobayashi or whatever? Yeah, I think it was. And he like, he's the hot dog eating guy.

And he had like, he was doing this thing where he like dipped the bread in the water and he was like going at it. And everybody was like, oh my God. And like the bear was just like looking around and Kobayashi was getting all these hot dogs down. And then like right at the end, the bear just like looked around, took one bite and ate everything. And it was like, oh man.

A scoop. He just like, yeah, it just destroyed his dream. And it was like, oh, not a scoop. He just destroyed his dream. I think they had a dude running against a zebra. It was just dumb spectacle shit. Didn't they have Usain Bolt run against a horse? Oh, he ran somewhere recently. Okay. He raced a horse.

Fox. Yeah, they're geniuses of TV. They had Thomas Lennon doing voiceover work. That was where he was... So they didn't have a host, which worked for the Oscars, and the reviews seemed to indicate it didn't work here as well. They had Thomas Lennon, as people were walking up to the stage, he would drop in some voiceover and

some of it was funny because it's Thomas Lennon but it was just so jarring that it was director's commentary over the top of a thing that usually doesn't have it. Well, how it used to be, right? Or normally when a winner's announced then the announcer gives some generic fact

or it's like, this is her third nomination and second win. And then it would be Thomas Lennon being like, they're adding another 39 centimeters of Hollywood gold-plated magic to their collection. It's like, okay. Also, Daniel O'Brien is a fucking Emmy winner. Now that he writes for John Oliver. He was so unsure of himself, too,

before I was hyping him up, saying, you will win. And he's like, it's not gonna happen. Look at him. He looked like he belonged up there. I'm seeing many more Emmys in his future. And Fleabag crushed it. Bunch of wins.

Yeah. Much deserved. I love Fleabag. Yeah, it was very good. She's great. All right. Let's get into our Lenny news, a new segment on the show. So first, Bagel Boss.

I killed it, George. Bagel Boss guy versus Lenny Dykstra. Oh, that Lenny. That fight, a celebrity in quotes boxing match that no one asked for. Who is Lenny Dykstra? So he was a Phillies baseball, no, a Mets baseball player. Played for the Phillies too.

Phillies. A boxing match. Maybe both. He's like kind of famous for being the Major League Baseball player who has consumed the most drugs over the course of a lifetime, possibly,

and struggling. But he was called Nails back in the day because he was tough and he had terrible hang nails I thought he just had beautiful manicures like Cardi's inspiration

have you seen Lenny's manicure it's insane or really fucking weird curled over nails have you seen nails over there Guinness book of world records old Indian dude nails

oh they always curl at the end it's weird how they always get that curl at the end also if you ever seen they actually use an iron to do it

also shout out to anyone if you ever seen a woman with super long manicure if you ever seen them type with the backs of their hands oh creepy what

that's a fucking skill they type with the backs of their hands people are out here typing with the backs of their hands look for it creepy, what? That's a fucking skill. They type with the backs of their hands? People are out here typing with the backs of their hands. Look for it in a city where women have long ass nails and it doesn't stop them. Do they, instead of fingering, do they knuckle? I don't know.

Yeah. It's a lot of topical rubbing. Yeah. Anyway. Did they just remove the nails? We went from Lenny Dykstra's weird fingernails to knuckling. Oh, the fight.

Celebrity boxing match.ils to knuckling. Anyway, this celebrity boxing match. Moron knuckling. Erstwhile Fox TV executive who organized this fight was of an age where he was like, who's the toughest dude in the world? Lenny Dijkstra. So we can exploit. Let's have him beat up the Bagel Boss guy because that's somebody that everybody wanted to see get roughed up a little bit. That fight has been canceled.

Officially. I don't know how we didn't start off with this news. This is huge news. Yeah. Well, I mean, honestly, I was hoping to see Chris Bagelbos do it, just get his whole soul reconfigured and handed back to him. I just don't want to see these people become famous. I'm tired of seeing that yeah he got do you know how he's like he was upset he like women hated him and now

he's probably like swimming in pussy i don't know we did a follow-up recently oh really he just basically does a lot of instagram stories where he's begging women to call his manager uh and they gotta live in suffolk county but if you live in suffolk county and you want to smoke weed and fucking party with me and fucking call my manager and we can fucking hang out you're like too good at that that's what he does though and he's like he's like it was really sad he just goes look i'm gonna be real okay i want to fuck and he was like so it was clearly to blavi's point i think the way that he's getting that shitty attitude of entitlement is that he probably is doing okay for himself.

Not really doing well for himself. In his mind, it's probably been the worst thing for his ego, 100%. Because I know he's doing stuff on Cameo where can pay him like 30 bucks and he'll be like what's up it's bagel dude fuck you yeah can you give me 30 dollars um so the reason why though the fight got canceled is that right now lenny dykstra has a 15 million dollar lawsuit that he's filed against la county what and other deputies saying that he was badly beaten while serving a sentence in 2012. I mean,

now I don't know what exactly happened there, but I'm wondering if his lawyer was like, if you saying you got injuries and shit, you probably shouldn't be fighting some dude like full on fighting. Or if you fucking fold this dude up in half, they're going to be like, this guy maybe have, has been very physically aggressive, whatever happened. I don't know exactly what the details are, if it was actually a beating at the hands of, oh, the cops beat him up.

Yeah. So he said the cop, okay, I didn't even realize that. You just said that. I just read it right now. I was trying to figure out what happened. Like, I didn't know if he wasn't, like he's saying they didn't adequately protect me in jail and inmates jumped me. He was saying he was beat by police. So I wonder, again, it's probably not good to show your client looking very spry and aggro.

Or if the lawyer was like, look, I don't know what kind of check you're going to get out of beating this toxic incel versus a $15 million payday from the county of Los Angeles. Right. And he said the fight will not be rescheduled in an effort to make it seem like he needs this money. Don't worry not, y'all. Yeah, right, exactly. I'll fight Bagel Boss.

I'll do it. Throw my name in the ring. I'll do one of these. I'll just hold him in my hand and he'll be like, why? I oughta. I think you could slap him once and something would awaken within him. Yeah? Yeah. Like Kung Fu Panda? Yeah.

He just discovers his powers. Right. All right. And then in our second update in Lenny news, Lenny Kravitz has a problem. He needs our help to solve it. You asked me, you said, oh, should we talk about the Lenny Kravitz thing? I go, what happened? Right.

And I was really concerned that maybe he was a Benghazi sex crim. Nah, man. Lenny Kravitz is too, I feel like. I don't know. Well, I won't put anything past anyone. I mean, he did expose himself on stage. He did accidentally expose himself, and everyone was like, thank you? Yeah.

One of the few times you were like, yum. Yeah, wow. Janet Jackson was somewhere pissed. His beautiful cock just burst forth from his pants. Yeah, blew out his pants. Anyways, he tweeted, I'm missing this pair of sunglasses with picture of him wearing just very Lenny Kravitz sunglasses

after my show in LA at the Shrine this weekend. They're incredibly sentimental to me. They're vintage and they belonged to a family member. Hoping to get them back. No questions asked. Any information, please email Kravitzglasses at gmail.com. Oh. I like how

both pictures are him in different types of denim. Right. Just like long sleeve, short sleeve. Very tight, form-fitting. Yes. As it should be. I mean, that sucks. I just like that he created a gmail for his sunglasses. Well, which is funny because I know that, I know

Kravitz glasses as an optometry clinic in Echo Park. Really? Yeah. The fact that he was able to get that. He like paid them like $12,000 to get that email address. Gerald Kravitz is pissed right now. I hope they find out. I'm curious to know what that story

is. It's just such a funny flex but yeah. We'll be following this story obviously i mean i used to do i used to work backstage at the shrine doing concerts oh really um and shit if i found somebody shit i wasn't giving it back right i mean i definitely look okay look but this is disclosure i stole a cell phone charging battery pack from talent that left it behind after a concert okay i got that weight off canceled back. Canceled. Fucking canceled.

Fucking. Are you able to say who the talent is? Are you brave enough to say who the talent is? Yeah, are you? Are you man enough? Yeah. It was an electronic dance artist. An electronic dance artist?

And they were on the bill of hard Halloween 2011 I'll leave that there Fatboy Slim alright guys let's talk about the newest streaming show that everybody's excited for

no of course we're not talking about the Reese Witherspoon morning news show coming from Apple. We are talking about Swipe Night. Which is? Swipe Night, dude. The Tinder show. Yeah, the choose your own adventure Tinder show. Isn't that just Tinder?

Yeah, Tinder is creating an original series. And it's a play on Swipe, right? Yeah. Damn. Oh, no way. That's fucking sick, Tindo. Tindo. Shout out to Tindo.

This is, I mean, this is like the fulfillment of a joke I've heard a lot of people make where they're like, yeah, you can catch my new web series on tinder tinder or like you know some other way on craigslist we're developing a series for craigslist uh but yeah this is uh this is really happening i mean the premise is interesting it's five minute episodes where you decide what to do through the narrative, where it takes place during an impending apocalypse. And I just like that in each episode, users who participate will be ushered through an apocalyptic scenario and prompted to make a series of choices from the seemingly unimportant, how to best DJ a party, to the critical, whose life to save. Oh, wow. I think

the reason that this is going to be wildly successful is because we no longer use Tinder to actually meet people. Right. It's in the game section of my phone because y'all play it. But I think everybody is going to use it and it's going to be very successful because I just use it to entertain myself when I'm bored. Another thing pops up and you're like, oh, man. yeah, maybe I don't need to really be swiping. I'll just do this mystery game. Because the amount that these apps have perfected just sucking our faces into the screen time. They're like, we've already gamified your self-worth.

So why not just gamify games? Just entertainment games. Yeah. As they're called, right? That's what not just gamify games? Just entertainment games. Yeah. As they're called, right? That's what you guys call video games? Entertainment games? I think it would be fun if we were able to actually have real world consequences. If a general populace

could decide on which celebrities have to go on a Tinder date with each other, I would watch that immediately. Truly entertainment you're in control with each other. That would be, I would watch that like immediately. Like real, truly entertainment you're in control of. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be great.

Well, this one now is really just used to like take some of the choices you made to better match you with somebody possibly. I bet it's not going to. The people that they like fucking hinge recommends for me is awful. They're like, you'd be most compatible with this fucking redneck. Sentient cactus. The thing on there, like it says, a Tinder user's particular view

on how a group of characters should spend the eve of the apocalypse will lead them to others with similar takes, the thinking goes, and then perhaps to an awkward first date in real life. Ah, fun. It's exciting to see how serial killers will pick their next victim. They're promising an awkward first date isn't that like aren't they supposed

to be promising a not awkward first they've given up i don't know they've also gamified their self-worth right yeah because they're like yeah you want more swipes bro right pay us more money for hyper mode okay so here's a premise arranged marriage it's a video game slash tv show where celebrities are arranged by votes from fans to see like who they will go out on a date with with the ultimate goal being somebody gets married okay yeah yeah isn't that 90 day what is that 90 day fiance aren't there shows like that where they get married? There are shows, but it's not...

I would say Married at First Sight is a little more similar where they have experts just be like, okay, are you down to get married to whoever we tell you is your match? And two idiots agree.

Yeah. And then it's sometimes good, most times very cringey. Right. Okay. Never mind. Ignore my show. No, let's... We're funding it right now. Well, hold times very cringy. Right. Okay. Never mind. Ignore my show. No, we're funding it right now.

Well, hold on. Quibi might fund that. Let's get Quibi on the phone. Quibi has already funded that. They fund everything. They have funded every theoretical possible TV show premise just to cover their bases. But this is from the auteur behind Drake's videos for God's Plan and In My Feelings. I mean, those are good videos.

Yeah, Corinne Evans. They got her directing it. Directing it. Okay. That's such a weird... You're like, yeah, I did Drake's videos. Now I'm going to Tinder. That seems like some Tinder-ass shit, though. They're like, who should we get to direct it? The woman who directed God's Plan. Yeah.

Get her on the line line just give her a paycheck that she can't say no to i guess she doesn't only like her bed and her mama and she's not sorry she i mean look that's a good check i'm i have a feeling there because they put five million dollars into it right there's something there but it's kind of like this whole thing like everybody's getting into content now i start to where it's like do they actually have someone who's like a good writer like could the product actually be good or is it just one of those things where a company with a lot of money is like dude we could make content too give me a five million dollar check i'll make i would really enjoy it if it was really good i think i'm excited oh yeah well yeah uh who? Then I'll have to get Tinder. So even...

No, baby. I just got it for the content, baby. I swear I had to make a profile, sweetie. I would never. Look, I don't respond to half these messages. The other ones I do, I was asking their take on how you would DJ a party. Monkey face emoji means nothing to me, babe. Monkey face emoji means nothing to me, babe.

So as if this couldn't get more like self-parody, even Walmart is getting in on streaming content. They're teaming up with MGM for the Voodoo, V-U-D-U streaming platform. And their first show is a remake of the 80s Michael Keaton movie, Mr. Mom, which our writer Jay McNabb pointed out, explores the hilarious premise. What if a man tried to raise children? Right?

Like, what would we even call this male version of mom? Babysitting. Right? Yeah, exactly. Mr. Mom. So what, I I mean I'm guessing it's still based on the same

outdated sort of gender norms yeah it's just like Walmart is still on board they're like that would be wild

I wish it was like Michael Keaton as Batman raising a kid right hell yeah that would have been a better thing

and he has no parenting skills because he was orphaned he was like I don't know you just leave him in a cave I don't know let's never go him in a cave. I don't know.

Let's never go to a show ever. And just, I got to go. I didn't realize the twist or the update to this is that he has to juggle his parenting duties with launching a startup called Pizza Mail. Pizza Mail? Yep. That's all I know. A pizza delivery service? Yeah.

Wait, it says, it falls through of a couple who switches places. Greg quits work to take care of the kids after former stay-at-home mom, Megan, lands her dream job. Right. This is literally just life. I can't. Because you have to include the,

how the hell did they get this way? Where a man stays at home and a woman has a job? It's because the woman wanted things. Oh, she had a dream. Right. The audacity. Right. Is that how the Michael Keaton one worked out? I have no idea. No recollection. No recollection.

The funnier part, though, too, to be even more like generationally tone deaf, it's like, well, Megan, who is the stay-at-home mom who's now going back to work, has to navigate a work environment tailored for millennial employees. Oh, no. You can only imagine.

She's like, what's up? What's up, lady? I better yeet on out of here on my vape board. Uh-huh. That's how we all get around these days. Well, I will be tuning in to both of those. So you're going to get voodoo? Hell yeah. I don't even in to both of those. So you're going to get Voodoo? Hell yeah.

I don't even know how you get these. It's like violently built into half of the streaming TVs now. And it's always like a thing I see and I'm like, who the fuck is paying for that? Why is Voodoo the first app on my Apple TV? Yeah, why is there a full button dedicated to that on my remote? Talk about buttons I will never touch. The Voodoo button?

Yeah, I'm like, there's the back mute voodoo. Voodoo. What? Capitalism, market economy, man. It's all about integrations, man. Synergy, collabos. It's all about integrations

and just, you know, people competing on a fair playing field. Well, Pallavi, it's been a pleasure having you back. It's been great being here. It's been great having you.

Where can people find you, follow you? Okay, get out a pen and paper. Here we go. P-A-L-L-A-V-I-G-U-N-A-L-A-N. That's my Instagram, my Facebook, my Twitter, and my website. Hell yeah. Yes. And is there a tweet or a work of social media that you've been enjoying?

Okay. My buddy, I'm going to promote my buddy. My buddy, Rick Cesario, he is very hilarious and he has a bunch of really amazing tweets. He's rcesario, R-C-I-S-A-R-I-O on Twitter. He tweeted six days ago, your sex drive is how far you are willing to drive to have sex. That's actually... He has a bunch of great tweets that'll get 50,000 likes,

but he only has 972 followers. Right. But he has amazing tweets like that all the time. That's great. Everybody go follow him. Everybody go follow Rick Cesario. Very good writer. Great stand-up.

And Miles, where can people find you? And is there a tweet you've been enjoying, friend? Oh, thanks, friendo. You can find me and follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey. I would like to call out a couple tweets.

One is from Naomi Perrigan at Blackdress. It's a photo that says, Shrimp cocktail only 99 cents, just like 1976. And her caption is, Las Vegas in a nutshell. There's something so deeply frightening to me about a shrimp cocktail that is 99 cents, but don't worry about it because it's Vegas, baby. We buy in volume.

And then another tweet is from Reductress. It says says woman just calling everything self-care to see what sticks hell yeah i feel like that sometimes some tweets i've been enjoying ben rosen tweeted everyone silence of the lambs new york times for lambs silence uh For lambs, silence. Paul F. Tompkins. Reminder, 2020 also marks the end of Pitbull's current term as Mr. Worldwide. Please go to a bunch of clubs in Miami over the next 12 months and learn about the other candidates.

I saw that one. And Katie Stull tweeted in response to Daniel O'Brien's tweet, a thrilling day for this simple fisherman. She tweeted, unbelievably proud of this man. To think just a few short years ago, we were shooting things like who fucked this pumpkin, which was a sketch from Michael Swain, one of the all-time greats.
