They, I actually use circumference and length interchangeably. So they are, yeah, I would say four and a half feet. That's a weird thing about you, by the way. You shouldn't do that. You would imagine. It's very misleading. No shared mathematical link. You'd be shocked how little it affects my day to day.

Okay. Yeah, that's true. It rarely comes up but in times like these it is it does take a little bit of a you know a back but sometimes if you use it interchangeably sometimes you are referring to you're like oh man this is going to be a a drive with a very large circumference correct what the fuck yeah yeah i go in a lot of tunnels um and that's why that's when it comes up primarily yes you're having some mac and mancos by the way mac and mac or no mancos and mancos it was

was mac and mancos before the vicious street war of the late 90s where they broke up before the government uh tore down this great man because i don't know maybe he hid millions of dollars uh and refused to pay taxes but who in this new world does you don't make the best slice of cheese pizza on the east coast without having to spend some time in jail exactly that's right yeah yeah yeah fucking pressure for sure my uh wife and i also go down to ocean city new jersey and we she she has celiacs and edit that out uh no she does have celiacs she doesn't know yet sorry she has to find out is i you know i have power of attorney so i get her reports her health conservator first you get her trust health conservator i'm a i'm that conservative that i'm a conservator of and um but she started taking this medicine

she was like hey like let's just because she gets sick if things are cross-contaminated so she doesn't have to have a loaf of bread it could be something fried in the same fryer as something breaded, you know? So we're like, let's test this medicine. And we went to that pizza place that we're talking about mangos, mangos, mangos, and she ordered a gluten free pizza. So again, she's not going to like, just have a regular pizza. We were sitting, we dined in and we were dining in and we saw them making it and i just go do not look in that kitchen right now and it was the guy i saw them have her pre-made gluten-free like crust or whatever and just his hands caked in flour reaches into the into the cheese grabs the cheese like throws the shit, like throws it on the thing.

Spanks the shit out of it. Yeah, yeah. Just, yeah, flours the shit out of that cheese. Doing the LeBron with the fucking flour in it. Yeah, yeah. What the fuck?

Exactly. It's just getting in everybody's eyes. People are like wheezing from the flour inhalation. But she ended up being okay. Oh, yeah? All right.

Yeah, okay. Step one. Step one, step one. She's going to run across to the music pier to use the, uh, facilities over there. The only bathroom on the whole,

on the whole boardwalk is at the old music pier where my kids are currently enjoying a local community theater edition of Greece. Oh, right now. Well, I'm, I'm headlining there tomorrow at 4 a.m um yeah it's very big like we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're

gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about we're just gonna keep following this i guess there's a presidential election coming up and uh so people are speculating where has trump gone why is jd vance the only person on the road making public appearances prior to trump's like impromptu press conference yesterday he had been kind of scarce so we'll talk about just what's going on with that campaign because the polling continues to come in on jd vance and worse and worse not not encouraging we will talk about the cotton candy burrito cotton candy burrito let me see your tootsie roll that is that's been debuted at a arizona car at the arizona cardinals stadium Arizona Cardinals Stadium this season and looks fucked up. It looks

like what the fall like what Imperial Collapse looks like. You know what I mean? Like this is the fall of Rome. Like when I saw this, I was like, oh right this is the fall. This is the fall. This is it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see the cotton candy burrito though?

Oh my. It looks like a mascot blew its head off. Yeah. It's crazy. It looks like a suppository that like Barney, the purple dinosaur would need or something. It's just very fantastic and odd. Yeah.

I don't know. Like I, I feel like in theory it could have worked, but they, they fucking blew it yeah that ain't we'll have to we'll have to do some analysis the only way we know how all of that plenty more but first blake we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history my recent search history that says something about me is how much does fritz the hippo weigh and i was in fritz the hippo is a hippo and he lives in cincinnati ohio and there's a very famous hippo

at that zoo named fiona the hippo i've been like really into hippos lately and i was doing stand up there in the spring or early summer whenever i was there. And I went to the zoo and I saw these hippos. And Fritz just turned two years old. And I couldn't get the exact weight. This was a much longer experience than I wanted it to be. But it was, so I don't know how much he weighs now. About five months ago, he weighed 1,500 pounds. This thing's two.

And apparently he gains 10 pounds a week. So if you do the math there we're at around two or around two thousand i don't talk about my weight publicly so i don't know why he would you know and also you don't have an agreed upon measurement for weight that helps us understand so by design yeah hey that's like me on vacation am i right right, you guys? Oh my God, thank you. Ten pounds a week. Get me away from Manco and Mancos, please. Don't talk to me until

I've had my coffee. Killed it. Killed it. Wait, so this baby hippo is two years old now, you're saying? And it's the younger brother of a more it's a brother of the more of a famous or the child of a famous one correct a younger brother so a family of hippos is called a bloat apparently which is just one of those fun things in life

so insulting it's oh i guess that's true it is they don't know they don't uh they talk about it behind their their uh ample backs but yeah there's a a big hippo the big one is tucker and tucker i was about to say weighs 20 000 pounds that can't be right and then his wife his wife uh or also you could say the mother i don't know why i uh made them in a cyst dude they can weigh between 3500 they can live or weigh between 3500 and 9900 pounds crazy huge yeah this one pound seems like too many pounds for yeah we get it we get it you're you're a hippo okay how much of a thousand pounds exactly so yeah bb is the wife and then fiona is the daughter the whole fucking family tree is the younger one yeah yeah that's wait and what wait what

it even drew you to i mean i get that you were in the area but like what is it about a hippopotamus that you're like hold on now hold on now let me look into anyone a little bit more about these they are really cute but also horribly dangerous. Like they are. I think they kill more people maybe than any other animal in Africa. Like they're very, very dangerous. And that can be easily checked. But yeah.

The mosquito is actually the deadliest animal, Blake. I'm annoying at parties. You say mosquito, I say mosquito. It is the deadliest large land mammal on the planet. There you go. This is true. When you have that many qualifiers,

it kind of becomes less impressive. Right. Are they the ones whose tails just like fling the shit out of their butts when they're pooping? Yeah. It is disgusting. That's what I know.

That's what you... You know the shit part? You're always good whatever i have a shit related tail flicking question i know who to call that number i'm good for that 213 no no no yeah yeah hell no 213 baby i'm from the 818 okay let's get my real number 818-308-6729 and And we'll be right back. Call in. Call in. Some lines are lighting up right now.

Some poor person is about to get no calls. But yeah, no, that's so he's he's getting older. He's getting bigger. And he's at that zoo. But yeah, I think I started getting just like any. Awesome. He's getting older. He's getting younger. And his weight is fluctuating, people.

And I don't know what to do. Tim Walls is weighed in. Tim, we have Governor Tim on the line. I just get more and more nervous. We have Tim Walls. What? Tim Walls. Governor Fitzpatrick. Deval Fitzpatrick is on the line. I don't know how we got him. We have Bobby Jindal coming in through a satellite feed. Like the colored guy on a Major League Base call just like and he is there he's uh he's big

boy and he's uh at that zoo and three two pitch yeah it's like when a local news person has to like stretch for yeah yeah for for literally three and a half seconds longer than they prepared for there's just nothing it's like uh it reminds me of that video where i like turtles kid you know and then the lady goes oh yes you're a good zombie yeah i thought i was gonna get more there you're good that was an off-speed pitch you know she wasn't ready for that one yeah yeah what is something blake that you think is underrated underrated tropical storms because when we talk about them it's often in the wake of they're constantly being compared to hurricanes where it's oh a hurricane's coming through thank God it's not a hurricane anymore. It's merely a tropical storm.

But those things are a pain in the ass, too. Especially down, like, I have family down in the southeast. And, like, they're fine. But it's the flooding that happens from just the rainfall where someone was going down the street in a canoe the other day in Charleston, South Carolina, which is wild. But yeah, it's a tropical storms underrated in terms of the, uh, the damage that they can do.

Yeah. And still get storm surges and stuff. The second it gets reclassified as a tropical storm, it's just like, like you hear the choppers take off, like all the fucking CNN, like news trucks just peel out. Like there's like,

there's like wolf blitzer shaped holes in the wall of a house somewhere yeah exactly with like little umbrellas in the little tropical storm I don't know about if I do I'm on vacation the speed of the wind dropped one mile per

hour for like a half hour tropical storm technicality the fuck out of here well yeah because it's still like storm surge terrible flooding it's just yeah it really is funny like we're just conditioned like oh thank god yeah now it's just a severe storm that could dump like a month's worth of rain in three minutes yeah storm serge is that anything that should have been Serge Ibaka's nickname. Ooh. You know? Storm Serge. What was the green soda? Keep working on that time machine.

Serge. That was also Serge. It was Serge. Okay. Yeah. Serge! That was the best. I always think about, I have such fond memories of that commercial because the energy of that commercial was the caffeine high you got from drinking Serge. It's like screaming until your carotid artery blows out of your neck.

For people who are under the age of 55, it was an ad for a short-lived soda that was like the Panera Lemonade of our time. I'm sure just back then they were better at controlling the narrative, so we didn't find out about the dozens of kids whose heart exploded. But it probably set up a lot of us to really love caffeine in a way that was not good. Yes. the narrative so we didn't find out about like the dozens of kids whose heart exploded but it would have probably set up a lot of us to really love caffeine in a way that's not good yes for sure and for those people under the age of 55 why don't you want to work anymore thank you oh my god and please bring back our diamond industry bring our diamonds bring the diamond industry back into

this country oh sorry hold on i i had to just hold on i gotta play this search commercial because it looks oh here it is this guy's pushing a fucking like a couch through a city yeah to like an empty there's like a bottle of surge on a couch there's like five teens waiting to pounce on it. And then one guy yells, Surge. And then they jump over the furniture. Beat up furniture. And this is where the bed bug epidemic in New York came from. Get over that couch, dude.

Who's going to get the bottle of Surge? Fully loaded citrus soda with Carbo. Beat the rush. Oh, that guy was spilling it all over his face trying to drink it. Well, they had it unscrewed before they all ran up to it, which was a mistake. Well, he had to let the odor... Fully loaded. That's very funny. Did they say it was full of carbos?

I think so. Did it say that? Is that like carbohydrates? Could be. Dude, carbo-loading, dude. Yeah, I loved carbs when I was a kid yeah that was that was i think the late 90s way to talk like dude carbo load bro before the big race yeah it's full of carbos aka sugar yeah cool corn it's full of corn y'all full of corn syrup hell yeah what uh what's

something you think is overrated great underrated by, by the way, Blake. That was like a serious and very good underrated. Yeah. Now knock it off. Knock that shit off and give us a stupid overrated. Overrated. Your plants. Let my dog piss on your plants. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's my overrated. Wait, overrated

and let my dog piss on your plants? No, overrated is your plants. The health of your plants. Oh, got it. Underrated. My my dog piss on your plants. No, overrated is your plants. The health of your plants. Oh, got it. Underrated, my dog's piss. My dog's piss is underrated. My dog's piss is good for your plants. I didn't think I'd have to spell this out for you.

But yes, overrated. I can take you right outside the garage that I'm recording from out to my parents' front lawn and show you a sign that asks people to please keep their dogs off their lawn we are we are that household give blake that address so he can bring the dog through i'm sure i'm sure i've pissed at that that address i'm sure i've pissed on everybody people come from miles around to piss on my parents front front lawn. Miles has FedExed me bottles of piss for me to take

and then spill it. I all surge. I keep telling him. And then everybody sprints down the street. You just open the bottle of piss. They know, dude. It's like blood in the water with the sharks. Wait, so did you get...

Well, I'm guessing something happened. Was your dog pissing on grass, a tree, a rosebush? What was it? I think that there's an, now when there's space and there's other places for a dog to piss, I think that it is reasonable not to go out of your way to have a dog urinate on someone's plants. Like I get that. Like even in LA, there's more more space like just grass patches for a dog to piss on but in city like in new york and philly and but like in these more compacted cities

the only green is these people will just put these plants outside their homes it's like they're gonna get pissed on by something so it might as well be my dog and it is interesting i'm not i'm not just saying this to appease jack which i feel like 99 of my time is devoted to these. And it is interesting. I'm not just saying this to appease Jack, which I feel like 99% of my time is devoted to these days. But it is... You guys have me proofreading your text to him. We probably edited this out, but when you got on

I heard Miles say, he's in another one of his moods. He's in another one of his moods. Tread carefully. Make him happy. Just don't make fun of the candy burrito. Just don't make fun of the candy burrito. Don't fucking make fun of the candy burrito. Don't make wise... It's a cool

idea! Okay. It was just poorly executed, but the idea is there. I'm sure there were rough drafts of the Mona Lisa. Okay. Yes. She had four eyes the first time she was wearing glasses the first time no this cannot we can't make a famous four-eyed lady but yeah no i think i think dog owners avoid it if you can and also people who have plants outside it's they're just gonna get pissed on what do you expect

yeah they are yeah too good for my dog's piss you think you're too good for my dog's piss always pick up the shit always like this shit like piss yeah man i get it like i know some the uric acid can fuck up a lawn if it's like constantly happening and i get why some people are upset but like this shit is really the thing where you gotta fucking you know pick up the shit the piss whatever probably good for them it's good for they like it the plants like they actually like

it I'm sorry miss I'm pretty sure your plants fucking like it so why don't you go back inside my dog's doing something nice for your plants hey miss are you listening nom nom nom nom nom nom, nom, nom, nom. That's your plant lapping up piss. All right.

Take it up with the plant. The plant's fucking weird, I think. I don't know. Your plant's a freak. Your plant's a freak. Yeah, does anybody sell like a yard sign that's like, my flowers are piss pigs. Like, please come at me.

My flowers like it. Would that resonate, Blake, if someone had those in Philly? Like, because that's like a thing where just some put out like, dude, this plant fucking loves it. Let the golden showers fucking rain down. Like a cartoon drawing of a flower just, you know, face up, just like kind of rubbing their face in a stream. It looks like the sun's crying on it no no no that's his that's s-o-n my friend not s-u-n the sun is my son uh i love that sort of bit of like this plant fucking loves it it's like what are they talking about like is then

you'd be like no not this house not this house that might act the reverse psychology may actually be a better deterrent yeah you just hear somebody on the porch going oh god i think that's a deter i think you're right that could be great merch to sell one of those little signs saying this side business try it out but use it use a union print shop for it oh my god that's so funny ask your dog to make eye contact with me while you while it does it please thank you exactly please knock on my door before your dog pisses on my plan i want to make eye contact i want to watch it even if i'm sleeping i don't care wake me up wake me up ring the doorbell yeah i think

that would actually yeah that would that would dissuade people probably all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back fantasy football fans the nfl season is here and now is the time to get ready to dominate your leagues.

thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes.

when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI

in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and donald trump he back he's he he took some questions at mar-a-lago and by took

questions he took the questions from the journalists that he gave enough warning to get there in time. And the other journalists that scrambled to get there and ask tough questions, he would just basically like, what a dumb question. I'm not answering that. The thing about Kamala Harris is she won't answer questions. And you're like, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Anyway, I was just watching that the press conference and it was so you can tell like yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Anyway, I was just watching that, the press conference. And it was so, you can tell, like, he's in this, he's in this moment where he's seeing all the numbers, the polling is going in the wrong direction. All the talk is like, is completely is the focus is not him. And he's trying to do the thing where he's like, you guys don't know what you're doing. I need to get up out of there and talk in front of everyone. And he's doing things like oh she was the border czar it's gonna be real bad folks it's and that's all he did

for at least the first 35 minutes i was watching and then i couldn't yeah i think it was in response to the fact like a narrative started wednesday like into thursday where it was like wait why is he not anywhere like he doesn't have any like stops planned he's not going out on the road he just has jd vance like going out doing his dirty work for him yeah because i mean because now like the harris waltz campaign is fully like we're fucking doing the swing state tour so they're going to pennsylvania michigan wisconsin north carolina arizona ne J.D. Vance is just basically going to stalk and be like, I'm going there too right after. So I think it could be cool. And yeah, Trump only has one stop at least scheduled on his formal schedule.

And it's in Montana. Yeah. And you're like, that's not a swing state. Like that's that's that's for Trump. I mean, the only reason could be is like there is a tight senate race there that maybe would help if he held a rally but again it's not like donald trump to like be like party first obviously gotta do the dirty work here put the party before me you know down ballot it's equally as important so you know it's it's a very uh it's a very hard time especially now that like there's

more polling now that says like like well over half of voters feel that he is too old to be president because he's hanging out on the toilet all the time. So, yeah, J.D. Vance is out there now doing all the heavy lifting. He's doing like a call-in thing. He wasn't making appearances, but he was taking calls on Fox News on the phone. And, yeah, I was pretty certain he was taking those calls from the toilet. Oh, yeah. You can hear from, you know, like you can tell from the acoustics, someone's in the bathroom.

Yeah. And you're like, have you ever called a friend up and like, yo, are you in the bathroom right now? No. Like, obviously. No. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah.

It's like, are you in a marble hall? Yeah. Oh, man. My hose is not, it's all broken, I think. You're you in a marble hall? Yeah. Oh, man, my hose is not. It's all broken, I think. You're pissing. Your hose? Yeah. Why do you have a hose?

In a marble room? I just, I'm not in the bathroom. Anyway, so right now, like the plan, like I said, to stalk her around the swing states. The polling looking real bad. Like, it gets worse and worse. The net approval rating continues to not go up always goes down he's like double digits crashing with women black people independence and college educated voters like presumably because college educated like people who have

been to college maybe have met someone like jd vance there who you're like oh dude i know this guy oh i hate he's a fucking weirdo and he has the rapport building skills of an alien who only watches 70s sitcoms and is like, is this how you are, my good man? So it is not very good. His polling number is like he was

when introduced was a historically unpopular vice presidential running mate and his numbers have plummeted double digits since then like yeah it's no vp before like i they're like all all vps who like in recent memory when they get introduced they stay as popular as they were or like gain popularity because it's a carefully orchestrated like there's a lot of media appearances and he is the most unpopular

non-incumbent vice presidential candidate since 1980 that's that's a lot of elections that's somebody started even taking like recording the stats. Right. We've never, we've literally never seen anything like this. Then, so again, we know he's terrible at talking. He was recently like in Wisconsin again, because he's stalking the Harris Wall store. And, you know, journalists ask, it's Wisconsin, big beer state, right? Yeah. The quintessential question with people on the campaign trail, you know, a lot of voters just sometimes just want to be able to like they want to vote for someone they know they can have a beer with.

So, J.D. Vance, why would people in Wisconsin want to have a beer with you? And this is his very normal beer guy response. Why would people in Wisconsin want to have a beer with you? Well, I guess I guess they they'd like they'd want to have a beer with me because I actually do like to drink beer. And I probably like to drink beer a little bit too much, but that's okay. I'm sure the media won't give me too much crap over that. But look, I mean, the reason I'm doing this and the reason I think Donald Trump is doing this, and I think the media often slanders him, but I've never met a guy who likes normal people more than donald trump what he loves normal people that's why his buildings are made of gold

is because he likes normal people stuff yeah yeah that's why he like has to bathe in hand sanitizer after he meets them yeah exactly i like why would they want to have a beer that's why i didn't call the wife of the guy who got shot behind him at the rally because right well and then we didn't even cover that when he made that like joke too about it too when he's like you know she only had good things to say most people you know their wives probably don't like them and everyone's like ha ha ha like there was some weird offhand wife joke about a guy who died at your alley. Anyway. Yeah, yeah.

So you want to have a beer with me because I like beer a little too much. Oh, thank you, JD. Spoken like a true pervert. Now we're going to be a little too much. Why are you raising your eyebrows like that? You can get me. little too much like why are you raising your eyebrows like that also keeping track of how much people like normal people as a thing like so he's always like being like oh this guy really likes normal people is like such a weird thing to like say about someone well and also reflect

such a weird yeah yeah and we'd also like, yeah. And put like people like, again, the point of your campaign is to like connect to people and I'd be like, well, I'm over here and y'all are over here in the normal people bucket. Yes. And we've, we fuck with y'all over here in the normal people bucket.

Like he couldn't even just be like, yeah, man, you know, I'm like a fun guy. I like to make jokes. Uh, you know,

I love the Simpsons, you know, whatever, just, he could have been really dumb, but to just be like, well, first of all, because I actually like beer. Why are you so defensive

immediately about liking beer? What the fuck is happening? Beer bottles, or what I call them, fleshlights. And also, I'm just like, wait, do you fuck the bottles? They need to bring back the Michelob wide neck bottles. You know what I mean? Not too wide.

Not too wide. Not too wide. Not too wide. Remember the Vortex bottles? Those are kind of cool. Those felt good. I mean, those went down. So normal. Yeah.

So normal stuff. But yeah, this is kind of- Anyways, I probably have a drinking problem. Yeah. Or soft launching your drinking problem by being like, maybe I like it a little too much. Maybe the media will give me crap about that. About how I curse at my kids and stuff about pokemon because i'm just throwing them back well look i love bartles and james wine coolers if i'm going to be honest

i don't like beer yeah i like a wine cool he's there it's fun it's it is also a bad strategy in general to follow up a a bigger event with a smaller event like touring with it you know what i mean because just by virtue of having the actual presidential candidate there is is going to make jd vance and the fact that he's a freak but like is just going to make his events so much smaller so he's never going to be able to hit those levels of fanfare just by virtue of the fact that he's the second fiddle in all of this and like it's like all right everyone that was john mulaney just did a killer hour and a half put your hands together for blake wexler he's going to do five minutes it's like what are we doing it's a terrible idea across the street at a smaller venue right right yeah but blake's

in a closet across the street uh a literal if you guys want to cross the street or i will technically it's four blocks away if you guys want to cross the street, technically it's four blocks away. If you guys want to walk four blocks to the other satellite venue where a lesser known person who isn't drunk and is big of a crowd is. It's not well lit. It's very hard to find. They are selling beer. We know how much

he likes beer. Maybe a little too much. There is no sound system though so you guys have to be quiet to be able to hear him. We kind of fucked that part up. Why are his eyes yellow? Anyways. Because he's a demon.

So, yeah, I mean, I did read an interesting take on, like, where is Trump? You know, with Vance flopping harder than one of those sad to report I didn't make the Olympic team diving videos. Oh, man. Oh, OK. Someone's on Dennis Miller. People are wondering why Trump is relying on him to, like, go out and do like be in public. And Robert Evans from behind the bastards had an interesting take that everybody's like he's old and tired. And he was pointing out and like

this isn't this isn't a plea for uh sympathy for trump but it is like a thing that i was kind of skipping past in my mind but like he's been kind of low energy and less out in public since the assassination attempt which yeah yeah makes sense like you know like if i would i would be also if i almost got shot in the brain in front like on national tv and then everyone was like all right now we've got 40 more uh national tv public appearances in front of you know tens of thousands of people i would probably not like that and be a little weird yeah yeah i think in that tweet robert was talking about even like his own brushes with death like in combat zones yeah as a journalist and it's like i can't even not think about that

shit every day he thinks about it every day if you're almost shot yeah i mean i think we slightly i mean like that was when they were saying like oh he might be different i was like that's conceivable that you could maybe have a different tone but it's definitely i thought was the the the truth of the matter is you're not going to just move past that unless you're severely like just so one-track minded yeah exactly like and i don't part of me is like oh maybe survivor i'm like nah he wouldn't have survivor's guilt i don't think you would have survivor's guilt he would have like i can't believe someone almost killed me little old me but i'm me and i can't die i'm the main character

then the movie doesn't work but then it almost happened and then that other guy did die and he maybe i thought he couldn't die and so yeah you're hanging out more normal people in front of me yes and then we'll call it a meat wall yes and there's certainly a poetic justice for you know someone who's called caused so much violence and death in the world to have like something an experience like this where he's like having to deal with his own mortality i don't know if like that level of like thought is entering the equation for him right but it's definitely you know it's not an insignificant thing whether or not you're a sociopath for somebody to go yeah no that was the other i think oh yeah yeah go ahead go ahead sorry no no no no okay that was the thing i'm gonna say something better so I'll let you go first. Yeah.

Well, yeah. So I'm, um, I'll be, uh, Kamala Harris and I'll be JD Vance. Okay. You say your thing first and I'm going to totally shit the bed with my follow up. Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm sure they're very different, but, um, he, this is how much he's dehumanized himself in, I mean, just look at our eyes where he's just not a human being. There's no vulnerability to that guy.

I'm talking about Trump, obviously, where he's just such a caricature of a human being that we just thought had this thought. Like all this time after an assassin, a bullet raised his ear and we're like, oh, maybe he's a, maybe it got to him a little bit. And then like, write that. Cause did not occur to me once. I'm like, oh, he probably just went about his day.

Cause he can't feel anything, you know? Maybe it's like, of course that would affect a human being. Is he human enough to feel it? Maybe he's just tired and wants to play golf. You know? Who knows?

He did then go the next day and play golf. So, I mean, he's dealing with it in his own way but i'm sure we all cope we all cope you know what i mean i think the other thing though too is always to keep in mind is like as the polls move in the wrong direction this entourage reboot's gonna be awesome man oh god just so cool say.D. Vance tweet. But like, I think the other part is that he's probably also just fully shifting to the like the absolute subversion of the election results. Like it may be like approaching in his mind, like a point of no return where he's like, I don't even know if we're going to fucking even if I get out there, like, what the fuck are we going to do?

Like, it doesn't even fucking matter because we need to steal this shit no matter what. And I'm sure there's a dimension of that, too, where the focus might even be changing alongside, like, it's scary out there. Plus, I'm old. And why am I holding these batteries in my hand suddenly when I wake up? A lot of confusion abounds but also let's shift gears to now focus on the fuckery because that's i mean a lot of the headlines are now are less about like what he's saying and like other things we're reading like about what's happening in georgia and other states like trying to change their like state charter around how elections work to be able to go full fuckery steam ahead yeah yeah they did just like that cook report which i think i only knew to pay attention to because of you as a seasoned political operative back in the day that that's like a a big thing that political people uh pay attention to he just shifted georgia toward harris which is so what is it is it r plus one now i don't know i just oh oh like it's now wow oh oh wow

because i know that was like a r plus one which is like being like it's just on the verge of becoming purple but now yeah okay yeah i want to see what happened yeah i mean again this is this is all all bad stuff for someone like trump who because even in his press conference he's like i mean i was they gave me biden and i beat him so and now they gave me kamala and he's like i'm not fucking elastic or malleable in any way like this is fucked up not fair oh yeah now they're toss-ups yeah yeah they're toss-ups yeah this is something i'm, because you guys were young too, so I don't know if you have clarity on this, but I guess you can look back at history. Not me. I've always been. No, not you. Yeah. Hey, listen, I only know about things I've experienced in my 35 years. I don't know about

George Washington. Fuck. I don't know about any of those people. But it was whenever I think of VP announcements, I think of what's her face? Hey, Palin during the Maverick. Yeah. And she was immediately that was like a big pick. Like, if I remember correctly, I remember like the approval rating being very high and then plummeting. So this is also so and it's also it infamously plummeted with her and that just made me laugh like earlier when you guys were saying okay so it's plummeted in a similar way with jd vance but there was no fanfare even right it was like there's no honeymoon period

it's like oh god him like that guy made up the lie about him fucking couches and it was just down from there yeah yeah yeah palin was like a media sensation and then the mainstream media was like but when you talk to her she seems terrible and kind of more right wing than you would expect and and that was at a time when the mainstream media still had the power to sway people's opinions, I think. Right. So. Right. And they're like, whoa, she doesn't she thinks magazines are books. Yeah. It's like the Russia from the house thing was cute. But oh, no. Yeah. Well, because at least like at the time, like the visually people are like, oh, she looks like a conservative governor woman who like would like suits this ticket. So at least like just from looking at a picture, people are like, oh, OK.

Where's J.D. Vance? You're like, yeah, I don't even know. Yeah, I don't think so. No. Can we fix that? Can we fix what's going on with that guy? Can we fix that in post? Can we make it look like we fix what's going on with that guy? Can we fix that in post? Ooh.

Can we make it look like he's not wearing mascara? Like, I know he's not wearing it, but can we just, like, pluck his eyelashes out? Can we give him more mascara or none at all? Like, he's kind of scrambling right now. A shadowy eye maybe might help. We'll see. We'll see. All right.

Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared.

And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself, in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app,

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

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back we're back and we got big news yeah the cotton candy burrito has been introduced to the world in a uh nfl stadium in arizona yeah yeah it's this is uh in Arizona. Yeah. Yeah. This is, uh, so the cotton candy is the,

is the tortilla. The filling looks like more cotton candy. Like, I don't, I don't think that's right, but that's what it looked like at first. But I think it's, I think it's ice cream or fruit loops might be involved. There's fruit loops,

M&Ms, Skittles, ice cream, which mixing M&ms and skittles is such a strange idea that's blasphemy i'm sorry that's blasphemy that feels like a psychological experiment like i one of these i'm gonna bite and also they're in there with ice cream so they're gonna be like both hard as hell and then when you bite into them, you're either going to like break it apart like an M&M or it's just going to be so like they. Yeah. Five day old gum.

The way they describe it. Cotton candy burrito ice cream and candy wrapped in cotton candy is like the little subtitle. And so there's a video of them launching it. You see someone rolling it. It looks it looks like someone's dealing with like insulation yeah yeah they're because they're wearing these gloves that aren't gloves that like food workers would traditionally use like it's more of like a scientist's glove who's dealing with like a radioactive substance i mean i get like again because i remember we

talked there was like some obscene milkshake that had like 14 pounds of shit on it. And people were like, oh, great. This is good for my health. But this is awesome. This feels like something out of like a kid's book where it's like in the candy burrito with all the flavors that don't go together in one bite. Like a cautionary tale out of a kid's book where they're like, nope, too much. Too much shit. Yeah.

Exactly. The famous book. I got too much shit on me. The number two. This burrito's got Too much shit. The famous book, Too Much Shit on Me. The number two burritos got too much shit in it. So producer Victor has weighed in saying it is fruity pebbles, Froot Loops, marshmallows, Skittles, mini M&M's, gummy bears, sprinkles inside

the cotton candy shell. But I think I also saw ice cream. No, there's ice cream there's ice yeah there is ice cream yeah there was like a scoop of chocolate it's like it's gross i don't chocolate ice cream like don't mix those no things look i'm a product of gun in it yeah i'm a product of handgun in there there's one gun as a product of mixing There's a handgun in there. There's one gun. As a product of mixing, I cannot get behind this mixing. I'm sorry. This is unholy.

This is a bridge too far. Yes. This is an abomination. But hey, we're all in, it's all viral time. So I just don't know how you eat it though too. Like do they give you gloves to eat it? Because I'm sure if you're like sweaty. Gloves and a bib.

Yeah. Yeah. Because like if your hands are slightly moist, it's just going to go right. Like the cotton candy part turns to nothing. Yeah. Have you guys ever done like a food challengey thing? Like it doesn't have to be like a hot dog eating contest, but you didn't eat one of these weird things.

Like what was not a weird things. I've done like a spicy ramen challenge. Oh, is it? Was it one dish yes the broth is so hot they give you double the noodles and it's very hot and you have to drink all the broth too and i did it because i'm not afraid yeah yeah i've done that i also i remember ate the at what at the time was the spiciest chili on earth the maruga scorpion chili that was fucking

awful that was actually awful i've only done i only like spicy food challenges for anything if yeah i just because i like spicy food someone's like let me test my you don't like can you eat this before all your teeth fall out challenges no no no no no no do you want to see like streaks of light as you go into like diabetic shock from eating a burrito? No, no, no. It's like the shift to warp speed in the millennium. There's candy teeth in it. Candy corn, candy teeth, our teeth.

Wait, have you? Savory teeth. Blake, have you done a food challenge? a food challenge? Not like I've the only one challenge like I thought the double down was a weird thing to eat, which was like the KFC thing where the bread was fried chicken and there's bacon and a

weird sauce on it. But I think the only other actual challenge thing was it was a one pound burger and you had to eat it in X amount of minutes, which doesn't isn't really that big of a deal. You know, I think. Yeah yeah they didn't like ring a bell for you or anything where where was this was just they took a polaroid in someone's

basement yeah this was at lunch in the cafeteria no it was actually just a standard one play serving side was um size it was at a place called cheeburger cheeburger in frazier pennsylvania and they would put your polaroid on the wall but so many people could do it that the whole wall was polaroid there was this it's like a five-year-old this is based off of the fucking belushi sketch from snl yeah it must have been yeah yeah i'm sure they they uh nbc universal knew they were calling their place that yeah there is only one cheeseburger and there is only one cheap just call it cheeseburger yeah but they there was one kid who ended up i think like making the practice squad as a lineman for the vikings that we went

to high school with and he did three sweet he ate three pounds yeah which that's a chat like that put that man's give him a piece of the business you know whatever you have to do but but no i've never really done a big challenge thing have you jack my friends who no my friends who went into no no so quickly dismissed that shit no no god no there are some times when i'm like so hungry that i like get in a mindset where i'm like i'm gonna eat so much to like prove how hungry i am or something yeah yeah that's just a weird thing with myself but like my friends from college who went into finance like at that time chipotle was just becoming a thing and they would have like burrito they would be like how many bricks can you down like this this guy's a fucking legend

he ate three bricks like took three bricks to the dome, bro. There was I was at a wedding with this cop's kid. That's the best way I can refer to it. That's enough. That's enough information. Just a cop's son. And he was trashed. And a bunch of people were like, we how much Taco Bell in dollars do you think you could eat?

Yeah. And the number kept going up and up and up. So he said that he could eat $70 of Taco Bell where a like quesadilla is like a 50 cents there. And it ended

the way that you would think it would end. And then he lost a whole lot of money, which he probably doesn't know. He probably thought he got mugged. But I mean, that was price-off. Prices now, I could definitely eat $70 worth of taco though. Yes. That was a different era. I mean, I can eat 10 soft

tacos, Supremes. Like, in a sitting. I'm capable. That's without having to really go... How much is the Doritos Locos taco? I feel like I can take. I never get those, but yeah. I could eat one of those.

Yeah, I could eat one of those. You could eat one of those? Congratulations. Yeah, not a problem. You could do a food challenge with Blake. He'd like put in like 10 tacos. Just the first bite of one. I eat the whole thing.

Oh, man. Oh, my God. How do you guys do this? Swim it down and just flex. Yeah. Like, wait, you just bit the end off of one. You're like yeah dude challenge complete man you shoved the lunch lady what is wrong one sloppy joe in a row

oh shit yeah yeah yeah i will say i will i would try this i just it feels like debris they swept out from under a couch cushion like yeah yeah yeah yeah fruity pebbles fruit loops like M&M's and Skittles like just all these things you would find in like the crack of a like car seat you know yeah yeah yeah right

gummy bears like it's just a fucking mess man all wrapped in lovely pink fiberglass insulation yeah um which is exactly what the thing is like i think generally i'm a savory over sweet person so like when i see the thing that's like a brownie on top of a cookie with it with the blood of a milkshake i'm like whatever but like if you showed me like you know a fucking just monstrosity of like meats and cheeses I'd be like okay I mean yeah yeah they might have a point there uh so I think also just generally I'm like a little put off with that much sugar although for whatever reason like make

it cheese and now we're talking the savory part for me is the same I'm sorry I'm taking us on so many tangents, but you're letting me. So in college, it's you. In college, there was a pizzeria Uno around the corner from my place. And they had this heinous deal where if you bought one large deep dish, they'd just give you another one. And I had to stop them. I at one point said, don't give it to me because I would eat my, I would eat the whole one and then I would start working

on the second one and I would get so sick. I would have to like cancel plans and it happened all the time. And it was the, I hate confrontation, but I got in this like almost yelling match

with this person there. I was like, please, please don't give me this other pizza. Please just give me one. They're like, it's free. I'm like, I know it's free. Please don't give me this other pizza please just give me one they're like it's free i'm like i know it's free please don't give it to me what's the matter we're too good yeah oh my god and it would be so heavy like just even walking home with it like my forearms

would get sore because they were like deep dished pies like maybe just arms are shaking you're just like my nutrition is so terrible and i I have to make me eat this. I'm carrying 16 pounds of pie. All right. Well, Blake, what a pleasure having you as always on the Daily Zeitgeist. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Thank you. I'm at Blake Wexler on all social media.

I have. And I almost died waiting nine hours for you to go on stage. That's exactly it. And like, it was from Anthony Moore, who's such a funny standup comedian. His Twizzler account is at all that and more M O O R E. And he just wrote like still buying Lauren Hill tickets in 2024 is insane

because of what miles just said where if if you don't know she infamously if she shows up like at like at all will show up an hour like hours and it's not like oh there's a rain delay like it's a crazy amount of oh yeah yeah and i've seen wu-tangang many times. Right. Wu-Tang is not fucking, they are not punctual at fucking all. They're not for the children. But it happens. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

It does sometimes. Exactly, because they teach the children patience. That's right. Yes. Yes. They're helping. The United States is losing to Serbia, guys. That's a piece of media I'm not enjoying.

Miles, where can people find you their work media you've been enjoying a tweet i like is actually a clip from uh at asin acyn uh this guy captures like a ton of clips from fox in the news uh we use a lot of the clips on this show um he has one from the five on fox news uh where like Jessica Tarloff, who's like the token Democrat on the panel, is just having a field day right now, like just clapping back at like Jeanine Pirro and Greg Gutfeld. And in this clip, Greg Gutfeld is like, Tim Walls is like crazy. He's like, that's the thing about the Republicans. We reject our crazies and you guys don't. And this is just amazing. Just like the frustration that Gutfeld is experiencing

because he's saying like, again, Tim Walls is too extreme. He's not. But anyway, this is just this exchange. It's fantastic. And I just love how it ends. And, you know, we reject our crazies. It's time for you guys to reject him. Give me a crazy

person. I'll reject him. Donald Trump. See, that's your problem. That's your problem. That is exactly the problem. You think that... Every metric was up when he was president. That's not true. Jeanine Pirro just lies all

the time. Every metric was up. Was it the Robert Durst lady? Yeah, yeah, yeah dead that's judge janine piero who was like the prosecutor at the time and now bye-bye yeah pretty gets pretty ripped and goes on tv all the time like her posture is so weird on that show sometimes she'll be like slouched like this like she seemed drunk in that clip okay. She had the energy of a drunk person. Every metric was on.

Julie Klausner responded, oops, all turtles. And that was the best response to that.

That's great. I think Ian Carmel had a counter that like he was a turtle is actually like the most normal of those guys. Like if anything, it's a bunch of ease. Yeah, a bunch of ease. That's true. Now we're getting into entourage lore. Yeah. Anyway, but I know it's easy to dunk on

Turtle. Turtle was actually cool, but he was smoking weed and sneakers, bro. Miles, who would J.D. Vance most not want to be called? J.D. Vance watched Entourage. He thinks E is cool. I'm kind of like an E.
