Hello, Zyte Gang, and welcome to the end of the year.
During these two weeks surrounding Christmas and the new year, we take some time off.
During the mornings, we'll run some new holiday and end-of-the-year content that you can listen to while we're taking a break.
In addition to all that stuff in the afternoons, where we would usually drop the Trends episode,
we are rerunning the 10 most popular episodes of this year, according to you.
You voted with your dang ears, and we listened with ours.
Actually, we looked at the data.
We're spying on you.
Honestly, I'm mostly in this podcasting thing.
For the rich marketing data, it provides to me about each and every one of you.
At the end of the year, when I look back to see what made the top 10,
and this was actually my favorite year to look back at, our top 10 is full of episodes.
I feel like made it because of a bunch of.
different reasons. There are some episodes that dropped after huge news events. There are some
first episodes that dropped right after some hilarious news events, some great new guests,
some classic fan favorite guests, and some new formats we tried out that we're very excited
to see that you guys enjoyed. Before we get into it, I just want to thank you guys for once again
being such a cool community that's bloomed up around this podcast. We've been doing all these years.
You guys repeatedly make us proud.
You're there for us when we go through some really difficult shit.
You show up at shows of our guests, and we always get great reports from our guests about our listeners.
You are the rare podcast audience that makes us extremely proud to have you as listeners so far.
So don't fuck this up, you guys.
And coming in at number one, the number one episode of the year,
with the number one thickest thighs on a guest.
Of course, we're talking Blake Wexler, Mr. Plumper's himself.
The number one most popular episode of the year was Coldplay ruins lives and Unabomber Humble Bragg.
But I think this is number one because it is the first full episode we recorded after the Coldplay kiss cam scandal broke.
You guys were excited to hear what we had to say about it.
We were excited to record this one.
It was an all-around blast.
This year has been lots of ups and downs, but the highs have been high.
We've loved making this show for you, and we're glad you guys continue to enjoy it.
Please enjoy your number one episode of the year.

You ever guys been to Pennsylvania?
Yeah.
You know,
they say it pronounced Martin Mermaid.
The Little Martin?
It's like the 40-year-old virgin,
but instead of talking about sex,
you're talking about the Philadelphia accent.
Just like clearly making it up.
Yeah, man.
I know the Philly accent.
I've been a Philadelphia.
It's so weird how they say,
Instead of saying Martin, they say mermaid.
Yeah.
Hot dirgs and ham yurgers.
They don't say yurgers.

I died laughing.

Welcome to Decoding Women's Health.
I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the Adria Health Institute in New York City.
On this show, I'll be talking to top researchers and top clinicians, asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's health and midlife directly to you.
A hundred percent of women go through menopause.
It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?
The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything.
I never used to forget things.
They're concerned that, one, they have dementia.
and the other one is, do I have ADHD?
There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids.
To sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood,
and also to have better day-to-day life.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.
We were in the car like a rolling stone came on.
and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted
is choose an identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night,
but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories
I'll be holding space for
on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.
Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one,
or just joining the Family Secrets family.
We're so happy to have you with us.
I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets,
the ones that shape our identities,
test our relationships,
and ultimately reveal who we truly are.
Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The moments that shape us often begin with a simple question.
What do I want my life to look like now?
I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and on therapy for black girls, we create space for honest conversations about identity, relationships, mental health, and the choices that help us grow.
As cybersecurity expert, Camille Stewart Gloucester reminds us, we're in a divisive time where our comments are weaponized against us.
And so what we find is a lot of black women are standing up and speaking out because they feel the brunt of the pain.
Each week, we explore the tools and insights that help you move with purpose,
whether you're navigating something new or returning to yourself.
If you're ready for thoughtful guidance and grounded support, this is the place for you.

She probably sitting right behind.
You, that one courtesy of Halcyon Salad on the Discord to Honesty by Billy Joel.
Kind of a deep cut.
Yeah.
That song's very, the lyrics to honesty are very, like, honesty is such a lonely word.
And like, it's kind of what I need from you.
It's just like real, like passive aggressive, like lying asshole type song.
Shout out to Billy Joel, the coolest to ever.
do it. I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
Hey, it's Miles Gray. You already know, I wish I had a fun AKA, but I was too busy dealing
with my wrist pain. I've dialed in the wrist pain. I know what it is now. Yeah, I have to get an
ulnar, ulnar wrist brace. I had a general wrist brace, got a new one. That's specifically
for my ulnar pain. The Omar. Should be, but I'm picking it up later.
down at the pharmacy. So I'm really stoked on that. So yeah, I just want to let people know
it's still the prince of wrist pain in the building. And I just do have to check that your
medical provider was not Australian and they weren't just saying, oh no. Oh, Omar. It could be.
You could have gone a lot of Olmar pain. Ommar. Your wrist is really fucked up. So what should I do?
Oh, Mar. Okay, I guess I'll check out this Olnar thing.
Olmar thing. All right. Y'all got Olnar? Yeah, we do. I think,
My doctor said that.
Oh, no.
Anyways, so dumb.
Miles.
Yeah.
And I'm not going to say speaking of which.
I'm not going to say speaking of which after I said so dumb in introducing our guest today.
Because that would be incorrect.
Thank you.
He is a brilliant comedian, writer, actor.
His newest special is called Daddy Long Legs.
You can go watch it.
It's because that phrase is.
It's similar to another one of his phrases.
Plumper's, which he uses to describe his thighs.
He's selling it right now, dude.
He's selling it.
He's one of our favorite guests.
He's one of your favorite guests.

When you hear it's Wexler, you can keep plumpers on your mind.
is from snarfula on the Discord.
Squish.
Lord Snarfs.
Nothing but net.
Nothing but net.
String music,
dude.
Ready playing.
The net barely moved on that one, actually.
It was like,
you know when it goes in and you actually have to like take,
look at the replay to make sure it actually went it because.
Yeah.
Or just not next to it like I used to do and then claim I made it.
That was in.
That was good.
That one was good.
Fuck you, coach.
I'm right under the basket.
I caught it.
I did not go.
But, motherfucker.
No, it's one of the ones that didn't move.
You never liked me.
Fucking dick.
What did you say?
Nothing.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Fuck, dude.
I was talking about myself.
That's my favorite when you, your teenager, just fucking getting just real agro.
And someone said, what's that?
And I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Me alone.
It happened so much when I was a teenager.
My friends are my friend talking shit to his mom.
What's that?
Nothing.
I didn't think you mean it.
And you're like, bro.
what happened? Miles, one of my favorite
people to watch
dissolve into tears at the drop of a hat.
Me? Yeah. When you forget your wallet, for instance,
when we're out to dinner. Oh, yeah. Every time.
Or you see a speed bump. Fucking time. Yeah.
Or you see his speed bump on the horizon. And you're like, this one's
going to be so bad. It's going to fucking kill me, isn't it?
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. I undo my seatbelt and jump out of the car.
No.
Do a roll. Oh, God, he put it in neutral.
It doesn't even get to the speedbook.
Oh, my God.
This is the car's ride at Disneyland.
Blake, I said.
Blake.
Yes.
It's great to have you.
It's great to be here.
It's great to see you.
Radiator springs. That's what it's called.
Radiator.
As they say in Philadelphia.
Radiator.
Rodent.
What?
The thing you're talking about a rodent.
Before we start, I don't know if this is the cold open or not.
But before we start, we're talking about just making
up worth that Philadelphia didn't say
weird. Yeah.
Radiator is one,
but it seems completely arbitrary.
Like some of the, my dad says radiator,
he says,
Sassage. I mean, he doesn't anymore, but that's like
naturally where he does. But like, that has
nothing to do with any of the rest of
Philadelphia accents. That just like
feels like it's
mispronunciation. Yeah, a random
mispronunciation. Yeah.
My mom's like that with, instead of
wash, she'll say warsh.
Yeah. Is that a Philly thing too?
That's a Philly thing, Warsh?
Oh, you've heard that before.
Maybe that's what it, yeah, I don't know.
Or I don't know.
I hear a lot of people say Warsh.
Like, my friend's dad who's not from Philly would be like, you got a Warsh it.
And I'm like, the fuck?
The fuck?
The fuck are you talking about, Roger?
Sounds like almost Midwestern.
Yeah, it feels Midwestern to me.
Yeah.
Feel like I know somebody you grew up in Michigan who says milk instead of milk.
Yeah, milk.
Yeah.
That's a disaster.
It's a disaster for your whole state, you got.
Yeah.
And then I've heard doing a split, you know, with your legs versus the splits.
And, like, I did the splits.
Have you heard this?
Like, that there's a distinction.
Do you, do either of you say one or the other?
Like a regionalism?
Say what?
Or, like, I could say, both.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah, that's actually, I'm verse.
That's what they call in the community verse.
Because I can say, do the splits and do a split.
Mm-hmm.
But it might just be because I lived in so many.
Dorder.
What about Dorder?
Your daughter.
Is my, I do when I, let me just see, is that my daughter in there?
Yeah, yeah, I do say daughter.
Yeah, you do say that.
I do, that's right.
You get to try it out.
Is that my daughter?
Oh, shit.
Blake, we're thrilled to have you.
I keep demanding that you listen to me when I tell you that we're thrilled to have you.
I'm paying attention.
Blasin.
Yeah.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
We're kicking off with the big news on the internet.
And that is something that went down
A Coldplay concert
I am curious like what the context
of this is
Like they because they did kind of a kiss cam thing
So is that part of a cold play thing?
I'll tell you about it.
I'll tell you about it.
There's a little bit more yeah.
I dove deep on this one.
I haven't been like Miles travels with cold play
And like he's a fish fan
He like follows them to every show.
It's weird because they do the same set list
every show, but he's like, this one was really tight.
This was great, dude.
That's a good thing, Jack, that they do the same one.
Like, I don't understand why you said that with your snide smile.
I guess, like, so Fish fans are like, you go every night and you see a different show every night.
Like, they won't repeat a song across a whole week of shows.
That's why I don't like it.
I like consistency, man.
A different beast.
Yeah, yeah.
I like to be able to know every single word and how they're going to sing it so I can sing it even
louder than them.
Yeah, I want the Mona Lisa to be in the Louvre when I go to.
the Louvre. Does that make sense? So that's why I need
the scientists to play at exactly
the two-hour mark every single
time I go see Coldplay.
And also, I don't want any of the
other shit in the loop. It's
annoying. It's just one thing.
In the way of the Mona Lisa. It's so annoying.
Get it out of here. Clear that shit
out. Renwer. Get the Renweres
out of there. I'm on
Renwer. Get Von Gogu
get it. Get him out.
Vingu. Oh, he's doing his Philly
accent.
again. Bye, bye. Get my tis out of there. Get my ters out of there.
Mad is he?
Mooney and Mooney. Wait, what?
We'll talk about that. We'll talk about Trump and Epstein stuff. We'll talk about the Annabelle
dolls origins. Because I got to look at a video of the museum from whence the Annabelle
doll comes. Like the people who the
conjuring is about have a little museum where that uh that house the annabel dog warrants and i gotta say
guys it's such shit huh it's scary stuff like there there was a plastic ghost decoration from like
a target Halloween thing in there like straight up it's uh really yeah it looked like some of the
stuff was just taken from like a fourth grade classroom in october now maybe that's what maybe it was
just like a very haunted fourth grade teacher with a lot of spirit right but spirit
Halloween we'll talk about that we'll talk about uno maybe I don't know who the fuck knows
anymore you know I mean can I tell you a question but who the fuck knows any who the fuck knows
if I was a pilot that's how I'd open I guess well I don't know folks take it up to who gives
the shit who gives the shit 20,000 uh who the fuck knows anymore what are we
You're going, man, that numbers, that number's going down pretty quick.
I thought we're supposed to be at $30,000 for an hour at $2,000, an hour at $1,000.
All right, let me pull this up.
So we're going to, I don't know who the fuck this guy is next to me.
What's your name?
The second captain.
Piped down, pipe down.
Nobody gives a shit.
Stinks like shit.
It's my plane.
Just nagging the co-pilot.
Yeah, this is your captain speaking.
Just want to let you know the co-pilot.
Actually, he's got terrible B-O today.
So if I got the cockpit door open, it's to air this stinky fucking room out.
All right.
Thank you.
That's right.
What the fuck?
Blake, what's something from your search history?
It's what the people came to her from her from her from her.
People came to her from your region.
Galic Athletic Association.
Okay.
Where my wife and I are going to Ireland early next week.
Whoa, way to get specific on them.
It's been cleared by corporate.
Corporate, yep.
Corporate, O'Brien
Corporate.
Me and the other O'Brien's
in America.
All three million of us got on a
Zoom call.
We're like, this guy?
All right. Yeah, quick run.
What's on our, yeah, what's on our
kind of like the gendcy bastard.
Yeah, we'll have him.
So he might as well be
in O'Brien in every sense of the
words, but he's a Wexler.
So what it is, and of course
like everything, I ended up
getting bored and I couldn't
couldn't get a firm
grasp but essentially my understanding
of it is that essentially my
understanding of it. This is going to be
this is going to be like a impressionistic
take of what you found
what you're good. Yeah. This is going to be like
a ren war.
And
so, you know, Iran's whole thing
after I got an independence, be very Irish, don't have any
English, anything here.
So they started a sports
league that like kind of
it's amateur sports and
it kind of melts like
culture, Irish culture and Irish
sports into this league. So it's only
like traditional Gaelic sports
which soccer is a part of
and handball I believe is another one and then something else I didn't
understand. Do they have curling? Something like
maybe curing. No, not curling, not curling.
What's the one where it's soccer mix? It's like rugby
mixed with baseball where they're carrying
around. That's like curling maybe.
Hurling that's what you said
I said it in my Philly accent.
Gaylic football you pick up the ball too though.
Yeah, yeah.
It's similar to rugby Gaelic football.
I couldn't tell the difference, but I don't, you know, I don't.
I'm glad you told me that.
Biles, because I went to a match and expected traditional soccer and they picked up the ball.
You're like, you can't use your hands.
They're going to fucking deck you out, dude.
He's talking to you with his hands.
It's a handball.
What the fuck is this?
Oh, God, I brought this whistle.
Which I bring to every sporting event.
a whistle. But yeah, and it's interesting too because it kind of, it's also became very political
where it's because it's, you know, traditional Irish. It tends to be more Catholic, which then was
targeted by Protestants and like the, what is it, the loyalists, I guess, during the Troubles where
Gaelic matches were targeted. The Travellers? So, yeah, it was a, it was interesting. So
there's like a political aspect to it. There's a cultural. That's, yeah.
Hurling is one of the craziest sports I've ever seen, by the way.
It's that when I studied abroad in Ireland, that was the wildest shit to see on TV because they're just running around, like running into each other and then swinging a baseball bat like at the same time.
It's so dangerous and fun and violent.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, man.
See if you can get front row seats to a stone lifting where I'm real into.
You need to start listening to the Blind Boy podcast if you haven't.
Have you heard us talk about that?
No, what is that?
There's a show called The Blind Boy Podcast.
It's a guy who is in this really good Irish rap group,
The Rubber Bandits in their early,
I think it was like the early aughts,
but they wear plastic shopping bags over their faces.
They like hide their identity.
And then one of them like went on to do a podcast
and it like mixes all sorts of different shit.
But one of the things it talks about is like,
Irish history and go listen to the stone lifting episode where he interviews this guy
who is reviving the ancient art of Irish stone lifting where like each town would have a
giant stone and then the strongest guy from like other towns would come through and like
try and lift that stone and like everybody would gather around be like oh shit but and like he's
interviewing one of the experts and he's like talking about how it's about like studying
the balance and like where the weight is and, you know, his philosophy, but also just like this
ancient art. And like the stones are still around because nobody was able to lift them that
far. That's so funny. It's like cheap construction labor or it's like, all right, we're not going
to get like a tractor. So can we get Seamus to try to lift this fucking stone out of the street?
That's sick. I love that. That's a good. So this is, it's not an ironic listen. Like it's a good
No, no, it's really good.
He's like, he's funny and smart, but like, yeah, I want to listen to this.
It's just naturally, a really, and it's a really nice, gentle listen.
Awesome.
Yeah, because his, his, his, his, his, his tone of his voice is.
The tone of his voice.
And he's just, dude, he's such a, his thinking is fucking, it's like one of those things.
I'm like, I love his mind.
Hey, nice.
I just like to grab them by both sides of his head and say, of his garbage bag face.
I fucking love your mind, man.
I love your garbage bag.
I fucking love.
You fucking love your mind.
I love your bag.
Cut our mind.
Oh, no.
An offensive approximation of an Irish.
Folks, he will be in Ireland early next week, was it?
Yeah.
I just wear, like, a bag on my head because I misinterpret all of this.
Yeah.
No, people in Ireland, they were, everyone wears bags on the head.
I didn't listen to the podcast, but I did get the bag.
I saw a picture.
I saw a picture.
I did get the memo on the bag head.
Right.
I can't bring, you grew up, you grew up Catholic or Protestant.
I grew up Catholic, actually.
I don't know if you were asking me to answer that for real, but actually, you asked the hard questions like that.
You asked all your guests, what religion?
Yeah.
Oh, boy, don't ask me.
Don't ask me.
Don't ask me.
Don't ask me. Don't ask me. Don't ask me. Don't ask me. Don't ask me.
Oh, my God. I love how they transform the thing into the other thing.
Yeah. Yeah.
But talk a little bit about transubstantiation and why that makes sense.
Of course, I would at that length.
But yeah, I did my, did you go Catholic being raised up?
Did I go Catholic being raised up?
You know, I think this Philly accent thing has caused me to become like severely, severely mentally.
Yeah.
I did go Catholic being raised up.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
I was Catholic being raised up.
I was ambiently Catholic raised up in T.H.
Because of.
Satellite.
High school, right?
High school.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, really?
Lutheran.
I was Lutheran before.
K through 8 Lutheran.
9 to 12, Catholic, baby.
Yeah, those theses didn't do it for me either.
I don't care how many fucking theses you write now to it.
whatever.
I got to 98.
I was like,
these last two
better be fucking good.
Yeah,
brought it.
We got 99 dollars
and a thesis is one.
Mm-hmm.
Blake,
what's something he thinks
underrated?
Underrated?
Yeah.
I can answer that.
Lint brushes.
A simple tool.
Speak on it.
And can take you from
looking like completely
disheveled and bad,
just bad,
like looking real bad,
to,
oh,
maybe that's just their style.
Like,
it could look style.
but if you have like hair
and just whatever
ticks, whatever
attaches to you, I don't think
now I don't think that's advised
by, I don't think
that's how physicians recommend
you use lit brushes. In fact,
I don't think physicians comment
Jacko Fauci.
Jacko Fauci.
What are the medical uses
for this lit brush?
Tick removal,
skin tags.
skin tags,
moles.
Rolling right off.
And other animals
that dig underneath the ground.
I did see on Shark Tank,
this could have been the other night
or 75 years ago,
but it was a glove
that was for taking ticks off dogs
where you like pet the dog
with the glove.
And I have a small stake in that.
So if anyone,
you know,
sounds terrible.
Yeah.
But no, I would say that
so with the lint brushes,
it's like,
I think whenever you have
and I have a dog,
I like wearing black and my dog has white fur, and it shows up.
But it is a big difference, just a quick, like, and they're not expensive, just a quick
little, and it can bring you up, like, two letter grades of having your shit together, you know,
if you just use a windbrush.
You're talking about this, like, someone would talk about, like, paper towels or something.
It's like, they're really good.
If, like, you don't need a towel, then you just get one of these.
And I'm like, yeah, I know.
Yeah, but the fucking smart.
I don't understand what the critique is here.
You got a dog with hair and then you take it off.
Well, you don't understand is that it's sticky on one side.
So like that stuff sticks to it.
It's roll tape.
It rolls.
And then you can take this when it stops being sticky, Miles, you take it off.
And then there's more sticky underneath it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you understand what I'm saying right now?
Because this is not that complicated.
This is a great invention that was made in 2017.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Where do you get you?
news. So there's a lint brush for taking ticks off dogs. Interesting. That seems like
it's impossible to work. Let me let me say that without a joke. It's a glove like that has
fibers allegedly that no one invested in this. Right. On Shark Tech, obviously. But I don't know,
I wouldn't trust my dog's health to a glove. Yeah. It just feels a little shark tanky as seen on
TV, like, which is not the vibe you want to necessarily be given off.
Oh, so it's, I'm just, I'm just, it's called the, I'm not, I won't even give it
promo, but it's the, the science is that the fabric would mimic, quote, the precise qualities
that ticks naturally adhere to much like Velcro.
So just jumps, it does some to jump?
No, I mean, I think it's just like, it just pulls them right off.
Hmm. They love it.
Ticks love it. I do it because I had pet tics.
I lose my pet tics on dogs.
And I need to get my tics back.
Yeah.
Yeah. That's why I do it.
That's why I love it so much.
What is something you think is overrated?
Overrated like convertibles as cars where I don't understand why that exists because you get sunburnt.
Your hat, if you're wearing a hat, which I will because, you know, I don't have that nice, gorgeous, just bush on top of my head like Jack.
That's how you call your hair?
Bush.
Hey, look at the bush on that dude's head.
What?
I did get the hair transplant where I just took the bush, just straight, straight right to the top
of my head.
Just a pubic toupee up.
Just a murkin.
I don't even buy a toupee.
I just buy Merkins for cinematic use.
That's right.
Tape it right on.
Convertibles as cars, you specified, are overrated, but as, what's the other option here?
Jack, I'm just so sorry.
that made me laugh so hard.
I don't know if I could continue with this segment.
I do kind of have puby hair too.
It is a little puby Halloween today.
Curly top.
Because it would be noticeable.
You know,
like it's not like,
is it the weather?
Is that why his hair was weird?
Especially if you,
especially like covering up.
Like the hair is like thick.
It's weird.
If you had a transplant too,
like you'd have your regular hair that didn't wasn't transplanted.
And then just random ass pew part.
It's just a cubic mound on the top of your head.
They're like, oh, you're doing that Gen Z sort of like broccoli floppy hair thing, right?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Exactly, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
It just keeps coming out in your hats.
Trailing pubes behind.
They're like, hey, can I borrow your bike helmet?
Yeah, like, yeah, sure.
And then they look in like, yo, what the fuck are they fucking this thing?
What the fuck?
Are they fucking this thing?
This hotel.
Jack was saying, yeah, we've had six
six attendants
quitting for, for, whatever
that, room service, I can't even
fucking, oh, talk. You've
been absolutely taken out by the idea of your
pupe, anyway. It's just a full, pubic
transplant. So, convertibles,
huh? Convertibles, so
in cars, convertibles, convertibles
in cars, um, getting coffee
with pews on their head. Um, because
you can,
I don't understand.
cars getting coffee.
I'm just trying to picture it.
Yeah.
This is how Blank pitches us podcast.
And I goes, dude, think about this.
Stuff you should know, but with pubs on your head.
I don't know why you guys won't just trust me and give me this podcast that I keep pitching.
Exactly.
You're going to love it.
Scam goddess with pubs on your head.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Fine.
I have someone attached to, I have Fred Willard attached.
It's like, what?
Oh, buddy.
He's dead.
Oh, shit.
We got terrible news for you.
Wait, that's funny, too, because Mort Burke yesterday was loving a convertible.
I like to see when white people fight over convertibles.
Yes, my favorite kind of content.
Maybe that could be a special episode because I love more, but I have to respectfully disagree where it's like, I don't want to put on sun tan lotion before I have to get in a car, you know?
And it's also the weather's never really that good.
Sun tan lotion to enhance your sun tan lotion.
It does feel...
So I don't...
I don't have oil.
That's so funny because that is what I grew up calling sunscreen is sun tan lotion.
I think that's what we all did, I feel like, rather than being like, what do you mean?
Like, you're trying to dark in your complexion?
They, like, had to trick us into putting on sunscreen.
They're like, this is called suntan lotion.
It will give you a sun tan.
It's a lotion to stop the sun tan.
Oh, then what is sunblock?
It doesn't exist.
I feel like convertibles as cars make sense only in California.
Like, it's like one of those things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, like Florida, you're going to get.
It rains.
Yeah, it rains so much.
You're going to get just pelted with bugs that are like prehistoric.
Nasty.
So big.
Yeah.
Dactals.
Yeah, just tons of dactyls coming in your face.
But, yeah, I don't know.
It's California.
People are still rocking with the convertibles out here.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, Her Majesty used to have a convertible before the fire.
It burned in the fire.
And when we'd ride around, I would not ride in with it unless I wore a wig.
There's no, you have to have your hair blowing or else you look like a fucking idiot.
So I was just a convenient hat removal device.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not if you tie it.
to the mirrors in the car where I have
one long string for my hat on the side mirror
and the another string shorter
like attention cable just yep
there it is just he's on
exactly nice try assholes
you have like one of the
like the head gear that like kids
who have like really bad orthodental
like you have that but for your hat
just a whole page around your head
yeah right not getting my hat this time
good luck dickhead
the 405 because my teeth are loose because I grind them
night so I just have you ever
been in a convertible and one of your teeth just blows
it yeah all the time
all the time
fucking hate it
while I'm just
trailing pubs down the tent
yeah
pubs flying off my head
I'm in another convertible behind you and I'm like
this windshield wipers going
the hell someone hit a
crow
a fuck
a crow it's like a bunch of dense
spider webs in my mouth
more like a porcupine the way my thing
my things are thick, you know.
Yikes.
Anyways.
They like cat whiskers.
Yeah.
Let's take a quick break, try and recover.
Let's take a long break.
Let's take a long break.
Off a short break.
Try and think about whether we want to keep doing this podcast just in general.
And we'll be back, maybe.
Welcome to Decoding Women's Health.
I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the
Adriah Health Institute in New York City. On this show, I'll be talking to top researchers and top
clinicians asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's health
and midlife directly to you. A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such a
struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?
The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget
things. They're concerned that, one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD?
There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids, to sleep better,
to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life.

Oh, no way.
I died laughing.
I'm like, I have to know.
You are lying.
You my guess, y'all.
They had some time on their hands.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.
We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is shoes and identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for.
on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.
Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one
or just joining the Family Secrets family,
we're so happy to have you with us.
I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets,
the ones that shape our identities,
test our relationships,
and ultimately reveal who we truly are.
Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The moments that shape us often begin with a simple question.
What do I want my life to look like now?
I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford.
And on therapy for Black Girls, we create space for honest conversations about identity,
relationships, mental health, and the choices that help us grow.
As cybersecurity expert, Camille Stewart Gloucester reminds us,
We are in a divisive time where our comments are weaponized against us.
And so what we find is a lot of the people.
of black women are standing up and speaking out because they feel the brunt of the pain.
Each week, we explore the tools and insights that help you move with purpose, whether you're
navigating something new or returning to yourself. If you're ready for thoughtful guidance and
grounded support, this is the place for you. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the IHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
And we're back.
We're back.
Ah.
Wait, you know, if this was a cliffhanger, tough news story after this first bad break, I might not have made it back.
But I do.
I am thrilled to celebrate the hard launch of this new couple, this new couple.
Yeah.
A tech CEO and the head of his HR department.
The two people that I most root for in this world.
tech CEOs, and people who head up HR departments.
Exactly.
It was, I mean, truly, like, a good point.
It was a hard launch.
One of the hardest launches of a, yeah.
There have been a roller coaster where they just, like, it like takes off all
a sudden.
Yeah, the Incredibles one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, I love roller coaster.
That launch is great, great launch.
That's what these people's relationship happened.
It was a, yeah, it was the Challenger launch of couples' announcements, I think.
because a fucking disaster.
These people are in a cold plate.
So this is the deal.
Apparently this Cold Lake concert,
Chris Martin does this thing where the camera goes around,
and he'll kind of riff,
like do a little improv on the couples that are there.
So it's not just really good.
He's my favorite improv.
Because, dude.
Chris Martin's fucking sick at improv.
I was going to ask,
is it a cold plate concert or is it just Chris Martin?
Is it an ass catch show?
Either way, like, he's selling out, you know?
Well, yeah, 100%.
So he goes.
he'll give a little riff so each couple gets like attention it's not just like a kiss and they move on it's like this is part of the fucking show so in this moment he gets to this one couple that are doing the little you know i'm you know i'm fin to grab you about a waist you know holding you from behind you know what i mean enjoying the cold blay cold blaze show and when the camera hits them it's like like the fucking roaches scattering yeah their face goes from just pure abandon big smile yeah
two.
So you'll be able to hear it, but again,
I'm sure you'll probably see this clip on the internet by now.
But hey, if not, you should check it out.
So there's one guy, here's a new couple.
Oh, look at these two.
All right.
Her hands go directly to her face.
He dives to the floor.
He's gone.
He did duck and cover.
He just went to the ground.
Yeah.
She did the, I'm not here.
Yeah.
I mean, which I like.
I like the sort of toddler.
object permanence thing of like, if I
covered my face, I go bye-bye. She was there
for a little bit. Yeah. I was like,
wait, where did she go? I mean, I saw the guy
duck, but she just fucking straight up
fucking vanished.
So then you hear, so
Chris Martin's like, oh, and then he really
calls it out.
You know, having an affair, or it's very
shot. Okay,
you see Homegirl right here? She has
to be, she has to know what's up.
Yeah, she knows it. She's one of her
like HR deputies.
Oh, shit. Look how red her face is.
Can you imagine?
I mean, she turns to her friend and is like, oh, my God, like, they just showed us.
What are we going to do?
Her friend is like cheesing, but also like the color of a baboon's ass.
Or she knows red.
A gorgeous baboons.
A bad boon's gorgeous ass.
The color of a baboon's gorgeous bright red ass.
Succuline ass.
so yeah this i don't know she could be a bystander who then who just is cringing because
it's so painfully obvious like why is all of us right um she is all of us but yeah they cheer
she's up she gets out of frame uh probably pukes from embarrassment uh because it's so bad
there is one screen cap this one moment where you can tell they both fucking realize he's
like huh and her face she looks like she
is watching the Challenger launch.
Like they both do.
Like that's, they're like, oh, fuck.
He's going,
and she literally has her mouth open.
Yeah.
Poor guy.
He's married.
I love that like every article you read about this.
They're like,
when we reached out for comment,
we haven't heard back from any of them.
It's so fucked up.
Like,
it really is the cuntiest, like,
line that are journalists to give.
We're like,
when reached for comment,
the company and his wife did not respond.
It's like, yeah, I didn't think they were going to get back to you on this one by deadline.
Apparently this guy, he runs a company called Astronomer, which is some like AI infused fucking billion dollar valued company or some shit.
I love it.
Happened to someone like that.
I know.
Miles, it's a fucking unicorn.
It's a unicorn baby.
That is what it got a billion dollar valuation and everyone calls it a unicorn.
Wait, astronomer, it's a private data infrastructure startup.
Big jerk off motion energy.
Everyone keeps calling him an astronomer.
They do?
No, it's just that it's company people have, come on, y'allel.
You all read the fucking articles a little bit.
No, Galileo was an astronomer and infamously cheated on his wife.
Astronomer.io, CEO, Andy Byron.
She was just hired in November, too.
I wonder what happened
of the last
chief people officer
Interesting
They didn't like
Coldplay probably
Is that his thing
He's like hey
You want to go to a
Coldplay concert
And they're like yeah
They come back every year
And they do the same
fucking thing
Over and over
I know
Babe,
I know all the words
And I'll sing them
So you can't even
Hear him
To stream
Down my wife's face
Wait
How does this song go
Yeah
Yeah, I don't, like, Miles, you found some great examples of, like, other people.
It's a, it's a genre of video on YouTube.
It's usually called caught with sidepiece.
I believe it's like, I'm serious.
Like, if you just search caught with sidepiece, you'll find it.
It happens all the time in games.
Like, not even here.
It happens in South America.
It happens in Europe.
There are people who are doing, you know, immoral things, not respecting their relationships.
Not the Lord's work.
This is one from, like, sex.
seven or eight years ago.
I just love it because it's like a Red Sox fan.
And you can hear, you can see his mouth.
He's like, ah, shit.
Like what happens?
And you're like, there's no denying it.
This is.
Oh, shit.
So he hits the camera.
He sees himself and he, it's always the same thing.
You pull your arm back and act like, I don't know this person I was just hugging on.
Yeah.
Look at him.
Oh, shit.
Again, if he had just stayed there, stayed.
Yeah.
Like, without moving his arm.
it would have been of no
but by pulling his arm back
while saying oh shit
oh shit it's a problem yeah yeah yeah
it's I'm sorry it's the Streisand effect of cheating
y'all like you can't don't get caught out here
strisand affecting yourself
when you can just play a cool and be like I don't know
I'm just this other boring ass white couple
at this cold play show nothing to see here move on
I'm a pervert I put my arm around everybody
okay that doesn't mean I'm having an affair
yeah come on come here my good man
man? Yes. See? I would put my arm around. He's just putting his arm around everybody.
He just gets decked out. He's like,
uh,
fuck off me, bro. I'm trying to enjoy a cold play. The fact that they fucked up their
response is also such a great microcosm of like a corporate,
like a corporate team, like a CEO and an HR department being like,
how do we handle this problem? Oh, I know in the worst way possible.
In the least human way.
in the most artificially intelligent way possible.
Just turn into the physical embodiment of an NDA, go full blank face mode,
and then just make everyone feel so weird that you go viral.
He looks kind of like Gavin Newsome a little bit.
I think that's also helping, you know?
I think they all do.
Yeah.
It's important, don't they all?
They all look like Gavin Newsome, and they love wearing jeans at the office.
Because I'm a cool CEO.
You know what I mean?
It's like if Gavin Newsom and one of the guys from Potsave America and Bill Simmons had a kid, you know.
Yeah, very Simenzian.
Simenzian.
Simenzian.
And Newsomian.
Yeah.
God, the screencap that you have, really, you've found the best moment.
It's so wild.
It's the best fucking, the way they are, his, their faces say it all.
Like, they're like, we are fully cooked.
We were caught in fucking 8K out here.
Fuck.
It's so good.
His face, it is like a kid going, nothing.
You know, we have just a face covered and an impossible amount of chocolate.
Her face is like she caught her like kid jerking off or something.
And his face is like, my mom got me jerking off.
She's like, no, not my boy.
It's all terrible.
And I love to see rich white people be uncomfortable.
So this is great for me.
At a close play concert, Miles, this is our place.
This is our safe space.
You can't fuck with sacred
place like that for whites.
Okay?
This is sacred.
Give,
leave them alone.
They need something.
But yeah,
oh my God.
I can't even imagine.
Whenever this,
do you think they're going to have a statement?
Like,
they're going to put out a press release?
Do you think you're going to have a child?
Do you think they're going to have a child and like,
is this like they'll release the video?
They'll name it Apple.
They,
I feel like they are.
going to have to have a statement because it's a billion dollar company right like it's not if it was
just a person like no no big deal but a publicly traded like billion dollar valuation company
that deals with privacy right yes also who's very funny yeah my wife and i went uh my my wife who
i'm married to okay i was going to say to a cold play concert a couple years ago in philly and he
started singing the eagles fight song and he was like fly eagles fly and it was honestly sick it was so
good i was into it yeah so hot he was so hot i i tore off my shirt and then got cold and needed to buy
a new shirt but uh yeah they put on a hell of a show i always whenever i'm cold i make my wife
give me her jacket i know that's sweet that's a sweet thing you two do all right uh well
Well, we do just have to keep checking it with Donald Trump because we're worried about him.
Yeah.
He doesn't seem to be doing well with this whole Epstein thing.
And so, I don't know, his friends seem like they're mad at him.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, Epstein lives right now.
He is not just living rent-free in Trump's mind.
He is a squatter that has sold the furniture, brought their own shit in, changed the locks.
And when you try to get in, it's like, no, this is my place now, bro.
was right because he's dead and it was never
really even a factor in
of life so like fuck you
right um he was a patriot
yeah exactly yeah so
what's wrong with a patrick in your house
um so he's been desperate for some kind of distraction
from the Epstein file fallout and like right now Alex
Jones is even like I don't know man this guy's like it's a damn cult
getting like to the point where al he's like starting to really worry
Alex Jones, this is him
freaking out about like, what does he think he is
a fucking Catholic, basically is what
he says. You talk about this.
I'm going to excommunicate you. Well,
you're not the Pope, bro.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I mean,
you're not speaking from the throne ex-cathra.
God damn it, if I had a dollar
for every time my kids said that to me. And plus
I'm not Catholic.
So, I think of Catholics,
it's just give me a break.
Catholics, just
give me a break. He used his sister to take a shot of
He's like, give me a brief fucking Catholic.
The fucking crime, God,
the fucking body of Christ.
Okay.
Disgrees.
Anything I say is banished.
Wait, that's a real person's voice.
He's reading a meme.
There's like in this image, it's a, it's an AI image of Trump dressed as a king holding a piece of paper.
As anyone who disagrees with anything I said is banished from my cult.
He's, anything I say is banished.
and I'm not saying
Trump land is a cult
wait I'm sorry
the Democrats are the cult of
hating reason and logic and
common sense
then a picture of Trump
as the boss
when Trump starts behaving
like that
it starts getting into cult territory
and I bet since I talked to the first hour
and said I'm not in this cult
that's what it's turning into
I bet there's already news articles
about it
I mean, I'm dumbed three bad into to talk.
I'm not even, exactly.
Yeah, it is so wild how defensive they all are, these people who are like,
I speak the truth, I don't give a fuck, who knows.
And not to say that he's in a cult because it's actually my best friend.
Yeah, well, they're trying to figure out what's best for their brands, too,
because they've been fanning these flames also, and they're going to be like,
well, fuck, I got to also, I got to maybe just stick with my viewers,
because those are the ones who buy my fucking fake vitamins.
Right.
So again, Trump is flailing.
Okay, he fucking, he did the thing.
He's like, what about the IQs of AOC?
What about this thing that's happening?
I think Rosie O'Donnell should go away.
Like, this guy obviously has the mental aptitude of a wooden snake.
So now he's really fucking flailing.
He even said, he falsely claimed that he can, this is on Wednesday.
He falsely claimed that he convinced Coke to switch to cane sugar
from high fructose corn syrup, like just out of nowhere.
He said, quote, I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using real cane sugar and
Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so.
I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola.
This will be a very good move by them.
You'll see.
This is like the ceasefire.
This really is giving the ceasefire where he's like, we did it.
We did a ceasefire.
Great.
And then everyone who's involved said, huh?
Yeah.
Because Coke came out and they're like, thanks for your enthusiasm.
But then it was just a love letter to high fructose corn syrup.
Like, they were like, sorry, y'all, they got us.
The corn lobby got us.
So don't expect that.
So what are you to do?
I don't know, maybe like make up something about how like your uncle knew the fucking
Unabomber?
This is the fuck.
This is what he said at an AI fucking event on, on Wednesday.
When I first heard about AI, you know, it's not my thing.
Although my uncle was at MIT, one of the great professors, 51 years, whatever, he was
Longest serving professor in the history of MIT, three degrees in nuclear, chemical, and math.
That's a smart man.
Kaczynski was one of his students.
Do you know who Kaczynski was?
There's very little difference between a madman and a genius.
But Kaczynski, I said, what kind of a student was he uncle John, Dr. John Trump?
He said, what kind of a student?
Man, he said, seriously good.
he said he'd go around correcting everybody but it didn't work out too well for him
didn't work out too well but it's interesting in life so okay or the people he now i mean i think
it goes without saying that the only true part of this entire story is that his uncle was a professor
at mit that's literally everything else total bullshit okay he didn't have three three degrees
he had he didn't have 50 years he had he had
two degrees in electrical engineering and one in physics, for the record, not in chemical.
What about math?
What about math?
I had one in nuclear.
What about math?
I did math and nuclear and atomic, all my degrees.
He said he was a longest serving professor in the history of MIT.
No, he's one of them, but not the longest.
That goes to another professor with a lesson Griffith, I believe.
Was Ted Kaczynski one of his students?
No.
Ted Kaczynski went to Harvard and Michigan, University of Michigan, not M.
MIT. Okay. Then he said, when he talked about it goes, oh, you know, and then he said it didn't
work out too well for him. His uncle died in 1985. Kaczynski was arrested in 96. So there's no,
there's no, he doesn't know anything about Ted Kaczynski. Now, what a wild story to tell out
loud. You know who else used to tell a fake story about them, like them being, themselves being
friends with the Unabomber? You know, who else would lie about that? Me.
Jeffrey Epstein.
Oh, Jeffrey Epstein would tell people that he fucking knew.
He studied with the Unabomber at UCLA.
This was like a thing that's in this like interview with another guy when Mother Jones got a hold of some of the like the numbers and some of the documents.
They just started calling people.
One guy answered who knew him and started talking about Epstein.
He's like he thought he was a scientist.
He wasn't.
He used to fucking tell people he studied quote,
studied math at UCLA with the Unabomber who was a math teacher.
and they're like, wow, he's like, but that's not true.
And so this guy is regert.
He's like recycling Jeffrey Epstein's like lies in some weird way.
Like, I don't know, like, it feels just very odd when you're like, this is, why is, why the fuck are you talking about the Unabomber?
Like, what's the point of that?
And that makes you look cooler for some reason?
He's like, here's a thing I like to tell scientists people.
My uncle Unabomber knew, teach.
Okay.
Anyways.
And that has to do with AI how.
Like, to your point, none of that, his uncle wasn't an AI professor.
Like, there was no, to him, it's all the same thing.
Science is AI.
It's chemical.
Bombs are AI.
It's all AI.
Yeah.
I knew a very smart, prominent science one time, and he was a science?
Yes.
He would do a science.
You ever heard of the Unabomber.
Yeah.
Anyways.
Barbenheimer.
Never play Uno.
Never play Uno with the Uno bomber.
Barbenheimer.
What?
My uncle was
Barbenheimer's professor.
What?
What do you mean?
Bobby and Arpenheimer.
They were together.
Their child,
Barbenheimer,
great physicist.
He had a degree in math and chemical.
So the stress, man.
God.
What could the stress be doing to him?
That mother Jones interview with the guy
who they just like cold called and were like,
you're on the Epstein files.
Like what's good?
And he was like, that guy was like, yeah, he was my best friend.
Yeah.
Very sick guy, but he was my best friend.
This is like this like 90-year-old scientist, 89-year-old art collector and controversial scientist who said Jeffrey Epstein was his best pal for decades.
Really was just like, he was like a complete idiot.
He had the mind of a child.
That's what he says about him.
He's like, he, yeah, he, I don't know, like, didn't know.
the thing that was unique about him is he would ask these questions that would make you realize
he doesn't know shit nevertheless in his peculiarly inquiring mind let's say like a child who is
fresh to the world because he has no compunction about approaching people but yeah he was like
I don't believe that he ever taught math which again yeah he said I don't even believe that he
taught math it was this somebody who was supposed to be like a math started as a math
teacher and then was so good at teaching math that this, like, billionaire saw his, like, teaching
his son and was like, I'm going to make you, like, the head of my quant division on Wall Street.
And, like, no, the whole thing is that he just started blackmailing people.
Like, from that point forward and just kept building up, like, that's the only thing that makes
sense in his career.
Didn't know.
This guy doesn't even believe that he could teach math to children.
Let alone, like, that he was some sort of math whiz that, like, was able to fucking build up this, like, massive billion dollar fortune.
I just read a new, a new possible distraction.
They're bringing back jewel pods.
I mean, I think Trump's trying everything.
Coke's going back to cake sugar.
What else?
Jewel pods.
Do you want Jewel pods?
Did we like new Coke, or was that the bad one?
I only drink diet.
Six loco.
We're launching that.
original recipe.
We added two locos to it.
January 6.
We're just going to call it crazy.
Yeah.
We're going to call it for crazy because I don't like Spanish or anything.
I'm not white.
Four crazies.
Four crazies.
God.
Well, this is the best.
This is where you find the best Trump impressions in America.
Mm-hmm.
Four crazies.
I'm Donald Trump.
Far crazies.
How many locals is too many locals?
Oh, no.
It got offensive.
Huh? That was Irish.
How about here?
How about it? Don't worry. How many?
What's offensive? I never heard of that country, pal.
Hey. All right, twinkle-toes.
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.
We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being.
accepted is shoes and identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what
had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my
upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.
Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets
family, we're so happy to have you with us.
I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities,
test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are.

Welcome to Decoding Women's Health. I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology
at the Atria Health Institute in New York City. On this show, I'll be talking to top research
and top clinicians asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's
health and midlife directly to you. A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such
a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?
The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget
things. They're concerned that, one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD?
date. There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids to sleep better,
to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life.

every Monday. As two of the founding members of the Real Housewives Potomac were giving you
all the laughs, drama, and reality news you can handle. And you know we don't hold back. So come
be reasonable or shady with us each and every Monday. I was going through a walk in my neighborhood.
Out of the blue, I see this huge sign next to somebody's house. Okay. The sign says,
my neighbor is a Karen.
Oh, what?
No way!
I died laughing.
I'm like, I have to know.
You are lying.
You, my guess, y'all.
They had some time on their hands.

with a simple question, what do I want my life to look like now?
I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and on therapy for black girls, we create space for honest
conversations about identity, relationships, mental health, and the choices that help us grow.
As cybersecurity expert, Camille Stewart Gloucester reminds us, we are in a divisive time
where our comments are weaponized against us. And so what we find is a lot of black women
are standing up and speaking out because they feel the brunt of the pain.
Each week, we explore the tools and insights that help you move with purpose.
Whether you're navigating something new or returning to yourself.
If you're ready for thoughtful guidance and grounded support, this is the place for you.

and we're back let's talk let's we have an update on the annabel story okay first of all the police
are now reporting that nothing unusual or suspicious was observed at the scene they're in on it dude
they're in on it or they saw things that their brain can't even make sense of yeah yeah so uh for
people who haven't been following along we've been covering the annabel doll which has been on tour
at a time of rising
satanic doll
obsession in America
Labibou
Yep.
A boo boo boo.
Lebobo, need I say more,
children are obsessed with these dolls
that are going to steal their souls
that are going to steal their souls.
A lobobobo.
That's about to come out with that.
He's got to go.
Laboobo.
That is the booboos.
We're going to deport them also.
So I'm calling him the fooos.
I call them they stink like la doo-doo.
Anyways, that's right.
So we're covering Annabelle's tour around this nation.
The tour organizer was found dead.
Yeah, Dan Rivera in his hotel room.
Yeah.
In his early 50s, I think.
Yeah, he's 54.
Pretty young person, mid-50s.
And everyone's wondering, how did the dog kill the guy?
Yeah.
is essentially where
everybody's at.
The police said no.
Lake's laughing.
Hold on.
What are you laughing at Trump saying
Lubbubo.
Okay, good.
I'm glad you're not laughing at the demonic doll.
Yeah.
Once we were doing the silly voices,
like the silly voice.
The fake, uh,
it was as bad as it was going to be after that for me.
So,
Lubbobobo.
Just really fucking.
That's what he sounds like to me.
Always.
like he's always saying
the bobobo
the nonsense
coming out of his mouth
so anyways
we're still waiting
for the police
to put together
all the evidence
to reveal how
the doll killed him
only to like
as they're about
to have the press conference
they
like a horrible fate
suddenly befalls them
but many outlets
have been talking
to other paranormal
investigators
who have claimed
that they've dealt with
a demonic infestation
as a result of touching the doll
one guy said that he
Baggins
Zach Baggins
Bilbo Baggins
I'm sorry you know him as Bilbo
Billbo
It's his grandson
Zach he vapes
Instead of smoking a pipe
The famous Bilbo Baggins
Grandson Zach Begings
Smokosah, he said, I got very affected by her, and it kind of caused me to touch the doll.
Oh.
The owner didn't like that too much.
This is getting weird.
It was a demonic infestation and severely affected me, and I was literally in the hospital the next day.
It was a two-month-long attachment, and one of the worst experiences of my life.
Oh, wow.
I also have hypertension.
I know, right.
It could have been that.
I probably get five times the daily salt intake is healthy.
It could be that.
Since the age of eight till.
Yeah.
The only source we have for the dolls' supernatural powers that's on the record is Ed and Lorraine Warren, the subjects of the conjuring movies.
As we've mentioned before, they are known frauds.
Ed was a real piece of shit, sexual.
Redditor who literally moved a 15-year-old girl into his house and was allegedly physically
abusive towards his wife.
But, yeah, it was like, so this is part of a museum collection that they, like, go tour
around the country.
And there's a video of somebody being like, I've taken you into the most haunted room
in America.
And, like, you see the Annabelle little, like, birdhouse made of crosses there.
And then, like, on the wall, you also see, like, like, it looks like it could be Ghostbusters decorations.
Like, there's, there's just, like, a ghost's face that, like, looks like it's made out of plastic.
I love that whatever this documentary, like, this is from their official channel, but, like, it was clearly shot in the, like, the 80s or early 90s when, like, no one, like, you could fucking say anything.
And everyone goes, yeah, uh-huh, exactly. And it's on camera. That's real.
I think this is them looking at the raggedy doll
Wow
Isn't that wild?
This here scares me
This one right here, Ed?
What's this one?
The raggedy and doll
Yes, that's probably
The worst thing we have in this whole museum
The worst thing we have is
Like you're convincing a six-year-old
Yeah, this is the worst one
It's the worst one we got in the whole museum
It also has like a red light
glowing on it
So they've added, it's so scary that you, like, can't touch it.
But they have gone through the trouble of installing a little red light above it.
Yeah.
That raggedy and doll was given to a nurse in 1970 by her mother, the Christmas present.
Wait, but then there are other reports that said it was given to her as a birthday present.
Yeah.
Which one is?
Show the fuck up.
Oh, all right.
Sorry, Mr. Warren.
Go on.
The nurse is Jesus.
I forgot to mention that.
It's a riddle asshole and you fail.
The nurse.
Jesus Christ
of Nazareth.
Any other fucking questions?
Why do you think
the Raggedy and all was possessed?
It was Satan trying to do battle with Christ yet
again, obviously.
Is funny, the adjective he used
is the worst one?
Or he could say the scariest, the most
dangerous.
This one is the worst.
It's the worst one.
It's the worst one is,
oh, she's the worst.
This one fucking sucks.
Dude, fucking smell this one, right?
It's the worst one.
You're going to hate this one.
Oh, dude, it's the worst one.
This one is rude.
This one has the worst manners.
Oh, that's sick, though.
And you could just turn your, like, hoarding problem
into a quote-unquote, like, evil dolls museum.
And people are like, oh, shit.
Do not touch anything.
That could also be their, like, old person style, too.
Just don't touch anything.
Yeah.
I'll sit on my couch.
It is wild that, like,
they think that touching the glass could be fatal,
but they don't they have like no it's just like right there there's no sign there's no
yeah yeah it's just in a place that makes it easily touchable hard not to touch it yeah
couldn't even put a velvet rope up i mean well they did also they blessed it with holy water also
yeah you know big mistake you're just going to make it mad yep no i think it calms it down
i think then they say they leaving it be uh believing it to be possessed by an inhuman
presence. The Warrens took it home from the 28-year-old nurses home, but we're careful to avoid
highways and sprinkle the Annabelle doll with Holy Water to calm it down, which as Miles knows,
is the only way you can travel with me sometimes. Yeah, you get really worked up. No highways,
keep me moist with Holy Water or things go bad. That's why our tours takes a really long time,
because we can't take airplanes or highways, and I have to keep re-upping my holy water.
if you thought traveling with John Madden was bad
yeah travel traveling with John like John Madden with no budget
yeah hey babe calm the baby down with some holy water back there
this he's acting up like what are they what's even going on or they're like oh we better
oh fuck we this thing needs to calm down hit it with the holy water like whatever is
is the highway is the issue because they don't want the doll to kill them at a high
speed or they don't want to be around
more people. Bring the doll
around more people. No tunnels
I'd imagine. I think it's probably
like high speed. You put a doll like
that onto something traveling
over 60 miles per hour. Oh, man.
Blake. Goodbye. You got a Netflix.
I don't know if you've seen Final Destination,
but have you watched them all at the same
time? Because that's what you're about to
experience. Every single
final destination. Might as well say Candyman
nine times in a dark bathroom.
Go ahead. Go ahead and do it.
Yeah. Or maybe they're just maybe humiliated by the fact that they're driving around with a doll.
So they're like, stuff away the highway.
So no one sees it.
We can't have people see this.
Yeah, that's funny.
Skeptics have claimed, and this is just like their opinion, man, that the doll, like other artifacts in the museum, was just store-bought junk with elaborate stories attached.
Nasty.
Nasty words.
And these are nasty people who are saying, Matt.
Yeah, only bad people.
One nasty person described their trip to the museum by saying it involved Warren showing off the, quote, Book of Shadows.
Oh, no.
Which turned out to be the Simon Necromonicon.
Oh, my God.
An infamous literary hoax that was sold in bookstores.
Oh.
You could go buy at Barnes & Noble right now, if you'd like.
Oh, so it was like a fake-ass necronomicon type thing, which is like, it's real.
And people are like, this is bullshit.
I mean, the shit in the, I mean, first of all, just the fact that Annabelle is a raggedy and all that, like, everybody has, that is like a mass produced doll.
Right, right, right.
But the shit that is on their walls is literally like normal ass shit.
Normal shit that you could buy at a target.
Like, it's wild.
And this is a haunted Ziploc bag.
This one's fucking haunted.
Yeah.
Oh, this is the worst one.
What is that?
It's a parking ticket that's so.
fucking haunted, dude, from six years ago
that I didn't pay.
This is a boot on my car.
Wait, why are we in the parking lot?
This is haunted, man.
This is a map of all the good parking
spaces in the country, and yet
I still, these haunted tickets
keep popping up. They clearly just
have all these tickets. Look, look, check this. The lights don't
turn on in the house. Look, isn't that.
You had a red notice from the power department
on your door. No, it's haunted.
It's the worst one. It's not. It's not.
because I don't pay my bill.
The lights turn off.
Sir producer Victor says that he went to the Zach Bagan's haunted museum in Vegas,
and he would like show a car and claim it was haunted.
So Zach Bagan's, you're familiar with Bilbo's great-grandson's work.
Victor, what was it like?
It was like one of the funniest things I've ever been to.
What was the car?
Fuck, it was James Dean's car.
Oh.
Oh, interesting.
Like he was speeding.
Yeah, but what made him speed?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
I think I got to go now.
There's a whole rest stop, like right where James Dean died.
Yeah, with a cafe.
This is where James Dean died.
I had lunch there.
We also sell fried chicken here.
Yeah, I've been there.
It's pretty good.
Yeah, James Dean death fried chicken, some of the best.
Whatever that cafe is.
Yeah, I've been there.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
All right, well.
Well, shit, man.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Hey.
Oh, you go ahead.
Go ahead, Blake.
Go ahead.
What do you want to hear?
Go ahead.
Blake, it's been wonderful having you.
Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff?
Do please follow me at Blake Wexler on all social media.
Oh, do.
I'm going to be in Philly twice in August, August 1st.
You can come see me do a completely improvised headlining set at Next Inline comedy.
That ticket is in my bio.
Then on August 23rd, these are two very different shows, so there won't be repeat material in any of these.
August 23rd, I am head, like those lazy bands fish.
I'm more of a culplight, yeah.
So come see the Chris Martin of Philadelphia comedy, and I will be doing August 23rd.
I'm one of the headliners for the first ever Philly Comedy Festival.
And I will be doing my reviews are in show where basically the premise, I think leaving a review is the most psychotic thing a human being can do.
And I have comedians and audience members come on stage and we read actual reviews that we've left for products and places.
Last time I did it, some Zite Gang members came on stage, which was really fun.
Hey.
If you're, uh, and they were great.
They left of this podcast.
Of this podcast.
Yeah.
I can't hear anything.
I can't hear a word these idiots are saying.
Um, no, uh, yeah.
One, uh, they were really funny.
It's one guy, uh, like, read one of, um, like a fondue restaurant.
I think too, which was great.
But yeah, so that is,
anyway, August 1st, August 23rd,
I will be in Philadelphia.
And then I'm doing a little tour in the fall.
So stay tuned for that.
Hell yeah.
Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?
I'm so glad you asked the work.
I do have some media.
So at Samley Matters,
Samantha Ruddy,
who's a really funny comic and writer.
I think she would be good
on this show, too, but that's not my problem.
So she wrote,
moms will send texts like,
Hey, kids, dad's full body transplant went well.
Thank God, prayer emoji.
We've known about it for months, but didn't want to worry.
Also, I quit my job and we moved to Florida.
Text on Laura for her birthday.
So that's at Samley Matters.
There you go.
Miles, where can people find you?
Is there work immediately?
You've been joined.
Oh, yeah.
Find me everywhere at Miles.
of gray. I'm talking 90 day
over at 420 day Fiance
with Sophia Alexandra.
A couple posts I like.
One is from
the onion on blue sky.
It says Trump invites Jeffrey Epstein
on stage to explain there is no
conspiracy.
Yeah, truly.
That's pretty much going to work.
I think that's it.
Then at kate.b.sky.
I absolutely do not agree with
recording strangers in public and allowing the internet
to docks them.
and ruin their lives.
That being said, I do find the CEO, HR lady, cheating drama, very funny because I am a bad person.
Two things can be true.
Yeah, I've been enjoying some tweets on that.
This foo at Dave E.D. underscore 1931.
Wow.
One of our older social media writers wrote getting caught having an affair with an executive at a cold play concert.
got to be top five whitest things in history.
And then just a lot of people making the same point, you know,
linking to that story. And then somebody retweeted,
Edgar Allan Poe, who, wow, another, another old one.
We're back. Who's that? Who tweeted boomers hate remote work because it precludes them
from having affairs with their colleagues back in 2022. And so he just retweeted that,
which I think it's true. They love it. They love an affair.
I'll tell you what.
You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien
and on Blue Sky at Jack O'B, the number one.

We also link off to a song that we think you might enjoy.
Miles, is there a song that you think that people might enjoy?
Don't do that voodoo.
La boo-boo.
He's so close to saying that shit earnestly, I feel like.
I know.
I feel like someone has to ask it in a press spray.
Just to hear him.
Sir, sir, your thoughts on La-boobo?
What?
La-booboo.
Oh, Le-booboo.
