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. This year, we've got our review of the year movies, predictions for the coming year, Santa University. We look back at some holiday classics with Chris Croft and so much good stuff dropping in the mornings. 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 tried out. 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, don't fuck this up, you guys. All right, without further ado, here is episode number seven. The seventh most popular episode of the year, St. Jilene, question mark, exclamation point, and Marx's theory of boreout.

It dropped on July 25th of this year, and it features Siri Dahl, a new guest, who we're excited to have it back. And this is your episode number seven. enjoy. Did you have that moment in school when they talked about the resurrection or the crucifixion? And you go, dude, why didn't he just fight everybody if he has all these superpowers? I remember we had a discussion like that in my grade school because we're like, yo, couldn't he just like fuck everybody up?

Not in like Sunday school? And like, well, because I went to a Lutheran school. Oh, that makes sense then. And I wasn't, I didn't, I'm not, my parents aren't religious. So like, I'm learning all this shit. in school. And I'm like, what? Dude, you guys just said he had all these, like, superpowers and we're like, how come he didn't stop that? Like, couldn't you just say no? There are these things called the Gnostic Gospels that were in the Bible for, like, when the Bible was first being written,

and then got edited out. And in those, Jesus has, like, legit superpowers. Like, one time when he's a kid, he just, like, kills somebody with a wave of the end. Like, fucking, you know, he's in Slytherin or something. And I think, yeah, he's. He can do, like, shit. And I feel like they might have edited those out because otherwise it doesn't, like, make sense later when he can't, when he chooses not to fight back. You know what I mean?

So they just keep his things more, like, magician-y, like, as opposed to. Like, hey, you want some more food-fish? Yeah, yeah, it's more. You need some more loaves of bread. He's like a fun party guy. It's more food and water-based. Yeah. His superpower is just, like, throwing sick parties.

I mean, he brought a guy back from the dead. You know what I mean? They're like, don't talk about that part too much. Well, and he did do that to himself. So he's like, kind of, you know, keeps it. He can do. That's what I remember the teacher saying.

It's like, well, did he actually die if he was. I'm like, I don't know, dude. This doesn't sound believable. If this guy has these powers, he's going to let them, they're going to let him fucking nail him up to get out of here. That's the same way shows up to the disciples. I was like, can't kill my ass. Thought they could.

Yeah. Couldn't be me. Your boy's back. Your boy's back. Where are we going tonight? I'll bring the wine. Yo, where in Mary Magdalene at? Where my girl out?

Please welcome, Siri Dahl!

Siri! Welcome, welcome. I am welcome. Yes, indeed. We're thrilled to have you here. Yeah. Thank you for having me. Oh, thank you for joining us on this terrible, terrible podcast.

It's great to have people of notes. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for being honest. We appreciate that. God, we just, we spend a lot of times talking about Jesus. A lot of time talking about Jesus. It just comes up randomly. I think because it's so absurd to me.

It's so absurd. And we both grew up on it. Just like the story, Jesus the man, Jesus the magician. It is. Yeah, I mean, it's unusual. Yeah. You know, that famous poster where the guys shooting heroin, but it's Jesus's arm. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I bet he had like some Keith Richards level tolerance, you know? He was like, just slam it in there real quick. Jesus can't hang. He hits like a joint once and he's a fucking mess. Are you mad at me? You guys fucking hate me like my dad. He's like a lot of people who really like to drink, you know, but they take one hit.

And they're like, God, everybody's talking about me, right? Yeah. Siri, who is your first pop culture crush? Okay, I have a couple, but the one I like to throw out is it's really like the first memory I have of having a very strong, like, attraction, like crush feeling as a young and as a literal child. And it's, I'm sorry, it's very, very hyper specific. So in the movie, Hook, starring Dustin Hoffman. Yes, and Robin Williams, there's a scene when Robin Williams, who plays, you know, Peter Panning, he's like. like Peter Pan, but he left Neverland.

So he actually did end up turning into it at all. Anyway, he goes back to Neverland. Grown ass Peter Pan. Played by Roblin. So hairy. So much hairier than I thought Peter Pan was going to grow up to be. Those knuckles. There's a scene where he like drops a ball into the water and he goes to like get it out.

And he like leans over. He's in Neverland at this point. Or he's like, I don't really remember exactly the contact is earlier in the movie. He leans in to get this ball out of the water. And instead of his. adult self reflected back at him, it's like Peter Pan, like him when he was a kid as Peter Pan, that's the reflection looking back at him. And, uh, and that was the kid that played the Peter Pan reflection. He shows up like one other point like in the movie, but for some reason it was the reflection in the water scene that like was the one that got me. Um, and I would, I ruined the VHS tape that we had. Cause I would remind it. And it's like a five second. It's not even, it's like maybe two seconds shot of this kid. And I found out like I talked about this. on my podcast in one of the earlier episodes. And I found out in that conversation that the child in that scene is Dustin Hoffman's

actual son who's like in his 40s now, but he was like 12 when they filmed it in the early 90s. And yeah, just like five, six year old me was just like absolutely had the hots for this this little Peter Pan boy. I did that to our Rocky 4 tape home VHS cassette because there was a part. like during Apollo's, like, the dance before the thing where, like, a butt is shown very briefly. And six-year-old me was going back and forth over that way too much. Yo, wait, this guy's got dreadlocks now? Are you looking at Dustin Hoffman's son?

Yeah, Maxwell Hoffman. Yeah, he has got dreadlocks now. Yeah, oh, my guys. Wow, no. Hell yeah. Looks great, though. Why? Just chilling.

Are white people? ever going to, like, stop? Oh, this is from 2016. So maybe he probably learned. If he had him after 2020, I'd be like, bruh. Yeah. I mean, even 2016, you should be knowing better. But, okay.

Hey, all right, Maxwell. The question are white people ever going to stop is such a good, just broad historical question. It's like, it's like that tweet where someone was like, fortunately, LeBron's 30, this madness will soon be over. Right. And then for 10 years. later it's like are white people ever going to stop i'm sure people have been saying that since the 1600s well went far earlier yeah let's say 1492 we can probably say around there

are they ever going to just fucking give it a rest all right uh miles i guess we need to hear your pop culture crush your first oh man i was just thinking one of the first people i was really obsessed with was Jennifer Connolly in Rocketeer, the Rocketeer. Oh, interesting. I don't think I ever saw the Rocketeer as a kid. I could, I don't know why that was like, I was maybe one of the first ones. Maybe because she's one of the most beautiful human beings in the history of Earth. Maybe it could be. And then after that, it was. And then I had, then I was like, I've mentioned that before when Tyra Banks showed up on Fresh Prince. I was a fucking, I was gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was fucking melted. Yeah. Those are good boys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. All right, Siri, 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 are going to talk about the urge right now that is happening to rehab the image of Gilane Maxwell. Yeah, yeah. Like Jeffrey Epstein's fellow child trafficker? Yes, yes, yes. Her. She might be a victim, is what people are now saying.

in many ways on the on right wing news so so we'll talk about that big wind up we'll talk about whether the democrats are going to fuck this up how they might fuck it up we will talk about the new the new craze and worker alienation it's called it's called boreout and it's affecting many young people who hate their job for some reason so we'll talk about that we'll talk about uh there's a new pandemic movie, the R.E. Aster movie. This one will not stick in my head. What is it? Eddington. Eddington. Eddington. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That movie's out. We're just going to talk about, I haven't seen Eddington. I read her jam. Saw it. Didn't love it. But just curious

that there's not more like pandemic content just writ large across the history of art. So we'll talk about that and what what movies do kind of make sense when they bring it up and what movies have not all of that plenty more but first Siri we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are my search history oh god I have to actually go look at it uh-huh yeah yep no line ever look at that I don't even know where to find that so okay you sound like like Pam Bondi at the DOJ with the FC plus I don't even look at it History. Oh, there we go. There's the show full history. Let's, okay. I mean, I've spent a lot of energy searching for recipes for sourdough pizza crust recently because I got a pizza oven for my birthday and an outdoor pizza oven. And I, I've lived in L.A. since September. And what I've learned living here is that there's not. not very good pizza in L.A.

And even when I find pizza that is acceptable, it's not the style that I like, which is interesting sourdough crust. So, so now, yeah, I got my got. Are you coming from New York? Where are you coming from? Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville. Before I lived in Lowe.

Yeah. Wow. There's a- Jack, you know a little bit about Louisville. There's a place called Pizza Lupo there that, like, I don't even have words to describe how good it is. It's so good. Really? Yeah.

If anyone listening to this or any of y'all ever find yourselves in Louisville, Kentucky, pay pizza loopo visit. Huh. And that's how we're dopeo and not loo po. Lupo. Yeah. Not like because I know that Louisville is lovable. Their logo is like a wolf with pizza teats getting his pizza teets suckled. Oh, like Romulus and remus.

Oh, okay. Got it. I was like, I was curious. I'm like, we doing a Romulus remis pizza? Tete motif here. Yeah. Oh, the classic Romulus Rima's pizza teat motif.

Uh-huh. The pizza teat motif. Exactly. Are the teets slices? Or full pies? No, slices. Okay, I was just trying to make sure I'm just can visualize pointy and down.

So are, what comes out of a pizza tea? Is it just sauce or is it like a whole, like, mixture of pizza that is somehow been liquefied? I feel like one dispenses hot honey. and the other dispenses melted mozzarella. Oh, interesting. I was thinking of, like, sort of never-ending pizza slice that every nibble you take, it just regenerates. It just keep, oh, like, tape.

Yeah, yeah. Like, it's a scotch tape dispenser. Oh, that's beautiful. Wow. That's really fun, actually. You know, I'm really into mythology, so I like to really take time, sort of storyboarding, like, what a pizza tape would be like, and then it's just, like, kind of growing in front of you. Exactly, exactly. Which, like, sounds like it would be difficult from a physics perspective, but you know what?

So is, like, just milk being made in there. Like, that, that is wild. That's a very strange thing that happens. Wait, so where have you been in L.A. where you're like, bro, this pizza fuck sucks that people have told you to you. Dude, too, yeah. So, well, just most of the pizza places that are just around, and I live, I'm in the valley. So, granted, you know, Valley not known for it's, like,

culinary advancements. Good Thai food. We got good Thai food in the valley. There's plenty of amazing food. I am being, yeah, that's why I'm very specifically calling out the lack of like good pizza.

It's like, it's like, I will say I haven't really had pizza that's like horrendously disgusting, but like it's just all of it's like very mid. And then the couple places that people recommend to me that they're like, well, okay,

if you're that bougie about it, like try this place. Like everyone's telling me their favorite place. And I go and try them and almost all of the ones that I get recommended that are like good, good are on the east side, more like Highland Park, you know, so we're like in the history areas, which makes sense. There's a lot of cool restaurants over there. And so I've tried pretty much all the ones I've been recommended, and they have been better than like kind

of the average accessible pizza in the valley for sure. And they're good for what they are. But again, for me, it's not just about the pizza itself. It's like the specific style. Yeah, yeah. And it's really hard. Like, a lot of places do it like wood fired in L.A., which is surprising. I'm just like, but why? Yeah. I was so hoping that when you were like, there's this one place in Louisville, that it was going to be Papa Johns.

No, I don't have a funny story about Papa John, though. It's not even my story. I feel like everybody from Louisville does. Wait, about John Schnatter, the CEO. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Wait, what did you got? The Papa himself? It was, so it's this, my partner who's like born and raised from Louisville told me this story

because he like knew one of the people that was involved in this incident apparently, but John Schnaudder, like, owns this whole, like, little, like, neighborhood in the, like, rich area of Louisville. Like, he just owns, like, all the land. And, like, so he's, and he, like, lived there for a while. I don't know if he does anymore, but he used to ride his bicycle all around that area. And so it was, like, the last day of school and these teenagers who had just, you know, like, driving down the road, I think they had, like, literally last day ever of school. Like, last day of 12th grade and they were just goofing around and one of them was like

fuck fuck this we're finally done and he like tossed a textbook out the window but john schnauter was like riding his bicycle and he just got fucking like like shit bagged off his bike by this big high school textbook and apparently he like was good at press charges he eventually didn't actually, but he like wanted to and he was like threatening these teenagers because he thought he was like trying to say it was like a hate crime but it's like they didn't know that you were John Schnaudder

they weren't targeting you they just threw the book out I just didn't see you on a bicycle he's like oh what a nice day I love it so much because I don't like him and I don't like his pizza apparently a very suck it I've heard not great

things yeah we'll leave it at that Yeah. What is, what's something, Siri, that you think is underrated? Okay, overrated, cold pizza. I mean, we're just talking about pizza anyway. So, like, I just, I hate cold pizza. I hate it a lot. You can't eat cold pizza?

Is it true? It's repulsive to you. Well, it's both that I choose to not eat it. Like, I have no desire. And also, I'm pretty sure at this point I couldn't. Like, if, like, it is disgusting enough to me as, like, a texture. a temperature, a flavor experience, that if I were to take a bite of cold pizza, I would really have to fight vomiting as I swallow it.

I would have to actively fight vomiting. I'm kind of with you. We've gotten so good at, like, there's so many good options for reheating now with, like, air fryers or just, like, using a pan that, like, why, why ever do cold pizza? Yeah. I mean, I have this argument. I get into it. Are you about this quite often because so many people really like cold pizza?

Like they're like, well, it's like a separate experience that stands alone to have it when it's cold. And I'm like, you know what? I respect that you feel that way. Right, right, right. You're allowed to have that feeling. But respect that. I think you're disgusting. I am also allowed to feel that you're mentally ill for that being your preference.

It is a little bit like people being like, I really like cold French fries. Really? That's only high people say that. Do high people say they like cold friends? I used to eat cold-ass friends because I would be so high and it would be like, oh, that's right. I got those fries from earlier. And then you're just like, the bar's so low. I'm a stoner, but I've never been so high that I wanted to eat food served at the incorrect temperature on purpose.

Oh, I'm a piece. I'm a vile scumbag when it comes to like what I'll eat just high. Like the bar goes subterranean. The one cold food that I really ride for is cold. chicken of any sort cold uh like fried chicken cold uh cold uh wings i really like cold wings yeah i'll even have cold wings oh okay i got a i got an underrated now okay because i can only think of things in terms of food in this moment so my underrated is uh salted black licorish very good i love salted licorish there's a specific brand that i i think it's finished and i order it online

because it's it's impossible to find anywhere else and it has like a witch on the bag. It's just an illustration of a witch flying through this guy. I can't. I cannot hang with black liquor. Jungle vral. Was it called jungle vroll?

No, that's a different one. That's actually, I thought it was a... Hecks shale. Oh, heck, yeah. H-E-K-S-H-E-Y-L. Okay. Wait, is salted black liquor?

It's just better. I hate the flavor that an yeast flavor. You would not like this, then. It is violent. I was like, maybe it's the salt? Like, yeah. It's black licorish. It's incredibly salty.

And it also, if you look at the ingredients, like, it has, like, literal ammonia in it. Like, it's, um, because it's from Europe, they have different, like, preservatives that they use over there. So the preservative used in this particular licorice, like, candy is, is, like, ammonia-based. Yeah. Which just makes it even more addictive. Holy shit. It has this, like, weird, like, like, in your mouth. Yeah, yeah.

It does feel, because I got on a salty licorish kick for a while. And it doesn't, it hasn't gotten that last, like, because it, in the United States, like, all the best scientists are going into making food, like, addictive and perpetually addictive so that, like, you can be on your 100th skittal and be like, man, these are actually getting better as you go. Whereas, like, salty licorish, I feel like when I was on a real salted licorice kick, like I, like the eighth piece. I was like, I need to stop. This is like bad for preserving my mouth. I think I started tasting the ammonia. Yeah, I kind of like that. So I would never stop.

Like, I have to stop myself with this particular kind. The flavor is pretty strong and overwhelming. Also, like, they're not hard. They're like, they're a unique, like, delivery format because it's like a little, it looks like a sour straw or something. like a little chunk of a sour shard, like a segment. A little too. And it has like a filling.

So it's like there's like a tube that's like the licorice part. And then the inside has this filling that's also more licorice. But that's like really kind of ammonia part. So you have two different textures. And I'm getting way too into this. So I have a way that I like I do with all foods, like snack foods. I have a very specific way I eat it. It's like I like have the, I put the piece of my mouth.

And then it's like a 15 minute process for one piece of candy where I like break it down. in my mouth by, like, eating it a certain way. Obviously, I have some, some, some conditions. I have some, like, ADHD, some stuff going on. I do. I have inner mouth ADHD also, or, like, OCD or whatever, like, where I'm always, like, I have routines that I do with my gum where I, like, flatten it out into a tube, then I roll the tube up, then I press the tube flat so that, or press the rolled up thing flat

so it's a pancake shape, roll that, roll the pancake up so that it's a flat tube, roll it out, then bring that up so it's like, you know, a roll of tape, press it flat into a pancake and just do that over and over again. I'm sorry I accused you of being high on Molly the last time we were together, because your jaw, your mouth was going crazy. And if I had known, you were just flattening that gum out, yeah, I wouldn't have made that whole business meeting awkward. Do you ever mold the gum to the roof of your mouth?

And with gum, it's like, it has to be the right kind of gum where it's firm enough. And then you pull it out and you're like, wow, that's the roof of my mouth. Yeah. Yep. It's always bubble gum because bubble gum, that has the thickness that you can really do like a dental impression. Yeah. And I'd be like, yep, that's the roof of my mouth. And I'm 40 and I'm doing this in a movie theater.

Thank you. What do we say about you in gum on mic, Jack? I can't stop. You motherfucker, you. I don't hear the sounds. So my other routine is that I take Trident, already small pieces, break them in half. So the pack lasts longer. Oh, my God. No, that's what my mom did.

That's trauma for me. I go through a lot of Trident, so I need this. When I'd go to church with the family as a kid and like I hated it because it was too long and boring and I would just continually ask my mom for pieces of gum. But she chose Trident gum, the blue one, and she would tear the piece in half. I was always like, I was like, fucking offended. Like, how dare you? Half a gum, mother. Yeah.

I don't do it for anybody else, but when I'm chewing, I, I break it into half pieces. Yeah, if I ever only have a half piece left, my wife is very angry at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Weird person. Anyways, great overrated underrated. Let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut. I think what makes Gentleman's Cut different is me being a part of developing the profile of this beautiful finished product.

Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I just fell and started screaming. If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way. I said through your shot 22 times. The police, right? But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help is the one you're the most afraid of? This dude is the devil. He's a snake.

He'll hurt you. I got you. I got you. I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable. Detective Roger Galoopsky spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence. This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Galoopsky, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the Girlfriends Untouchable on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built it in Texas. entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the cause.

Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot. The Brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way. Listen to the Brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. I was just thinking, I was at the movies, I eat Eminem. I let the M&Ms melt in my mouth. I like to get the shell to fuck. fucking just fully dissolve in my mouth. And then I just eat the chocolate bits. That's one of my weird things.

And then you get the little crunch. Yeah, but a faint one. When the rest of it is dissolved and you're like, yeah, yep, yep, there you ever put the M&Ms in, in the popcorn? No, I don't like to do that. I don't like, I don't like savory and sweet. Okay. All right.

I like to make a little. Just shut up, Jack. I do like savory and sweet. I like to make a little trail mix. By the way, side-down. I used to think it was weird too, and now I like it. If you do like the savory sweet combo, there's a new variety of Oreo. out. It's a chocolate covered pretzel flavor. I saw that. Is it good? They're crazy. They do. They're very good. I've resisted when I was at the store yesterday. I was like, they're very good. Yeah. I love chocolate covered pretzels. During my early 20s, I was like, does anybody, like, I would literally ask people if they knew anyone at M&Ms because I wanted M&Ms to make a chocolate cover pretzel version of M&Ms. And then they did without checking with me. And it sucked.

And so I've always been skeptical because I've been burned before, but the fact that Oreo has nailed it. Open your heart back up, Jack. Yeah. Lemon Oreos, like when they put their mind to something, they sometimes really, really connect. Mm-hmm. All right. This sounds like a right-wing podcast because they're doing anything but talking about Elaine Maxwell and Jeffrey.

And Eminem's mentioned. Yes. I like to make them melt in my hand and not my mouth. because of that ad campaign. Wasn't that their thing in the 80s? Not in your mouth, not in your hand. I'm like bullshit. Oh, yeah?

Can't tell me. If I squeeze a shit out of them. Yeah. Let's talk about Saint-Gilene of Du Maxwell, I believe, is what they're going to be calling her, St. Gillain of Maxwell. Yeah, the latest twist in the Epstein saga is like the full-on media press campaign to normalize Galane Maxwell, Epstein's girlfriend. and co-conspirator.

So the DOJ we talked about, they announced that they would be speaking with her to find out what she knows. Although the Epstein files themselves would probably reveal a whole lot more than whatever she can gin up. But sure, okay. One of the defendants.

Let's act like the secrets are all contained within Galane Maxwell so you can avoid actually having a reckoning with all the documented evidence around the trial. Okay, sure. Go ahead and do that. And we also got reports now that Maxwell is, quote, preparing new evidence to show the deputy attorney general.

Obviously, teaming up with a convicted predator isn't the best look for Trump, but they seem to think that if they can get Maxwell to say something like Donald had nothing to do with any of the fucked up child abuse that maybe the base will lay off, I'm not sure, but it's very much getting more and more like, what are you going to get her to say in order for you to go give her a lighter sentence or commute her sentence or whatever. Charlie Kirk was saying, he's like, talking to Maxwell is actually like a good thing.

And we should be encouraging the DOJ in this. And she's like, okay, that's one take of that box. And then Greg Kelly from Newsmax, we've talked about before. He's the guy who's like, hey, what if Jeffrey Epstein, maybe he was a patriot when he was working for the CIA and actually like doing this to save people's lives? I don't know.

I'm just spitballing here. I'm just spitballing bullshit right now. He basically now is doing the similar thing with Galane Maxwell and asking just maybe, maybe she's the one that's been wronged. And we need to think about what her story is. This is Greg Kelly on Newsmax. I do have a feeling that she has been, she just might be a victim. She just might be. There was a rushed to judgment.

There was a lot of chaos there for a while. All right. Granted, she hung out with Jeffrey Epstein. and I know that's apparently not good but she's in jail wait sorry for how long now he just said and apparently that's not good and apparently that's not good

hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein like what and now you can't hang out with the convicted sexual predator that is kind of like the energy I think they want to take the sting out of being associated with just like that's a nice little poke at that I'm like which apparently I guess is like

apparently that's a crime to be best friends with this guy and always hanging out with him and the people that he trafficked, children. He goes on to have like a quote from Alan Dershowitz, who's like, I don't know, man, I think there's nothing to see, you know, he's, he's like, there's nothing to see here at all because that's just, that's my take to sort of protect myself. Then Greg Kelly comes out, comes back, like sort of echoing what Dershowitz says, because he was like, maybe she deserves to be released.

This is really unfair. Dershowitz says that Galane Maxwell got got a raw deal because someone had to be held accountable for Jeffrey Epstein, but then this is Greg Kelly, just yes, anding that take. She deserves to be out, and maybe she never deserved to be in there in the first place. Now, how could you say such a thing? I mean, these are perverts. These are child molesters. We've heard that from whom? From the media? From prosecutors? What the fuck is that? Prosecutors prosecuted President Trump over nothing. I don't know, but I'm skeptical of

everything and everybody these days and you should be too. So that's, they're, yeah, they're signaling pretty strongly what, what the next phase of this thing is, is just getting Galane to say something. Everyone has to believe her and we'll move on and she can be free. So they rehab her image to use her as a star witness and then also kind of planting the idea that she should be out so that they can then pardon her in exchange for whatever she's going to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so, like, blatant. Like, they didn't even, like, do the, and also maybe she's, like, they didn't provide anything to say she's

innocent. They just said, so I don't know. I just have this feeling that she's a victim, too. Yeah, I, they're, again, there are. Prosecutors were mean to Trump, and they're the ones who are saying she did bad stuff. He's literally the argument. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I don't know. I mean, this, this isn't really, everything they're saying isn't really changing the minds of a lot of people, like, in the Republican Party, though. Like, even people like Nancy Mace have sided with Democrats to get them to, like, to have, like, more materials released. So I don't know what, they're just like in a weird spot. And now, like, you have other Republicans trying to do stuff of like, be like, we all know dirt bags. Hell, I know a few dirt bags myself. And you're like, what?

That's what they're saying. Yeah, they're calling him dirt bags. That's what Tim Burkett, the congressman Tim Burkett said. He's like, hey, it's just like, he said it's just like me. I know a lot of dirt bags myself. And you're like, that's not a good line. That's truly like a, I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast line.

And someone goes, you eat pieces of shit. Right. And then you go, uh, you'd hang out with dirt bags? What do you mean? As they're pedophiles? Is that what you're saying? No, just. You know pedophiles?

No, I... And you call them dirt bags? It's Obama, guys, it's Obama! Like, you know, that's where everything, that's the vibe of everything right now. So, yeah, we should brace ourselves for a whole lot of nonsense. Because as on Thursday, apparently that's when the deputy attorney general is supposed to meet with Galane Maxwell to whatever the fuck they're going to cook up. Because Pam Bondi, like, is stressed out or something. Isn't that the thing they're saying that she's, like, suffering?

She said she had a corn tornia, or torn corny. She had a corn tornia. She said she had a torn cornea, so she had to miss some, like, human trafficking event today. That's what was crazy. She was scheduled to speak at a human trafficking thing for CPAC, I think. Dislocated cornea runs in my family. By human trafficking event, you mean where they all get together and commit human trafficking. Yeah, I'm sorry.

She never misses those, Siri. She's such a huge fan. Huge fan because she's got to bring it down. Yeah, no, truly. But dislocated corneas are caused by, or exacerbated by stress. I wonder what could be stressing her out? I don't know. There's no way to know, really.

No way to know. No way to know. Because we did, of course, get the revelation that she had to tell Trump in May that he was in the files, which around the time that he started being on. like, what's, what's the big deal with this? Why is everybody going on and on being so weird about this thing? That's all just, the guy's dead. He's dead.

What are you? Why are we still talking about him? It's not going away. It ain't going away, no matter how hard they try. There's another report that he's just basically banning people in the administration from even speaking on anything about it now. Yeah. To just, like, act like, I don't know, like a possum or something.

Like, just play possum if they ask. just be like, I don't know, I can't say anything. It has to have a, quote, high level clearance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all bad. I don't know how they're, I don't know. It's just the, it's ironic to watch this conspiracy that they have been fanning the flames of like, they fanned it to the point that the flames got so out of control now.

And they're like, it could burn us now. Do we think he just forgot that he was best friends with him for like a decade? Do it, like, when he was fanning the flames or we just think he was like so in the, Like, the crowd seems to be responding to this. So that's what we're going with. It's so short-sighted. I think he just, he knew people were cheering about it. And also, I think because of his entire life has been a festival of getting away with shit.

Right. But it's never in his mind that this could be tricky at all. He's like, what are you going to fucking do? Like, nothing. I guess when he was fanning the flames, he wasn't necessarily talking specifically about Epstein, right? So he just didn't know the fire was going to spread like that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. All right. Let's talk about bore out the sequel to Borat, Borat 3, Bor out. What's the most bored you've been at a job, Siri? She's going to say right now. Yeah. She's going to say right now. Right now, I bet. Right now. Yeah, I'm pretty bored right now. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not getting paid for this, so this isn't a job. Okay, so like it was the most bored I've ever been, but also overall I liked the job because when it wasn't boring, it was fun. But just there was so much boredom involved. And it was, it was honestly the last job that I had before I got back into the porn industry. Because I started in porn in like 2012 and then retired in 2015. So from 2015 until I came back in 2020, I had worked civilian jobs, regular, regular folk. jobs. And the last one I had before I came out of retirement was at a small publishing company and we would do like trade, like magazines and like directories and stuff for different like professional trade associations. We had clients all over the U.S. And so the boredom would come from like just, well, one being at a desk all day, having to either look at a screen or do,

I was a copy editor and like copywriter for a bunch of these. clients that i you know worked on their publications and just just some of the stuff that i had to work on was so dry like one of the one of my clients like in my book was um i forget the name of but it was it was like the fiberglass professionals of the west southwest or something right right And so they, those are, yeah, that's a good region for the fiberglass, Southwest fiberglass. Yeah, I had to edit the like quarterly magazine for all of their like trade association members. And so each issue was just like article after article that I either had to like write like, like go interview people like write up the things or just they would deliver it already written and I'd have to like, you know, edit it. And and it was just. They didn't let you put your own flavor on it, huh? A 10-page essay about fiberglass.

Right, right. Oh, you know? The new kingpin of the Southwest fiberglass industry. Yeah, these guys are a hot shot. And then some of them were like less boring, though. So like the really, really dry ones were like, oh. But then the funeral directors associations, we had a bunch of different like regional ones in that group of clients.

So I got to edit one of their things. and the funeral directors, they're freaks. What do you mean? Like, that was some fun stuff. Even if the material I had to edit was, like, super dry, I'd still have fun with it because the ads in that magazine were all, like, for, like, cranes to move the dead body in your, like, embalming station and shit. Right, right.

Like, it was unhinged, like. Corpse cranes. Yeah. And the funeral directors are very funny people, is what I learned. They generally have a good sense of humor. Right. Very connected to, like, the aspect of life that, like, the vast, majority of polite society is spending like, I'd say 10 to 40 percent of our energy every day

just like suppressing, just like thoughts about death, you know? And they're just like in it all day, just being like, yeah. So then we moved a bunch of bodies around. So they just, yeah, that's very interesting. Well, God, I mean, I'm wondering maybe it would have been more fun if you could put your own spin on that fiberglass quarterly article. and made it a little more fun. But, like, there's all, we talk all the time about all these funny phrases people come up with that talk about the ills of capitalism, like, quiet quitting. And, you know, like, micro-retirements.

And now there's bore out. Micro-retirements, by the way, were vacations. Vacations. Yes, yes. This guy is weird. He does a micro-retirement once every couple years for two weeks, where he, like, doesn't even think about or do any work while he's micro-reliaments. retired. So bore out, it's not quite burnout where you are worked too hard and have nothing left

in the tank. It's like being bored out of your mind because your job is not stimulating at all. Quote, rather than feeling overwhelmed from too many tasks and responsibilities, you're simply unmotivated and stagnant due to a lack of challenges or growth opportunities. It's difficult to find purpose when you have nothing to work toward and no obstacles to overcome. Quote, while most people feel bored at work every now and again, feeling chronically disinterested in your job, for weeks on end means there may be an underlying issue going on, said Peter Duris, CEO of AI Career App Kick Resumet. Why is it always AI people?

It's always, we had that guy who was like, parenting is hard, use AI, and he was like an AI executive. It's funny that they just like have a lot of time, I guess, to sit around because they don't fucking do shit. I think it's probably easy to like get your name in an article and then people go, oh, what's, it's like a soft ad, you know? essentially. Because this one, again, there's so many articles or they're just like, you guys are talking about late stage capitalism and capitalism in general, but you're doing everything you can to not use those words. So rather than describing, I don't know, like the Marx's theory of

alienation, like where you know, you're reduced to being a cog and a financial machine and you aren't encouraged to live out to your full human potential under capitalism, like that might be why you're bored. That could be, that could be the nature of the board. out rather than them being like, make sure your HR department is more accessible. Come on. What the fuck are you saying? The solution to existential despair talking to HR. Oh, really?

Because that actually exacerbates mine. That actually makes my existential despair worse. Yeah. I'm talking to somebody who has a fake personality. It's just funny. Hey, oh my God, I'm so glad to be talking to you, jerk. Jarnik. Jarfk.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's the thing. Everyone is feeling like capitalism grind them down. And I guess the revolutionary thing would be write at articles about how our modern world is making us more and more disconnected from our humanity. But whatever, we just get these articles with a quote from an AI executive, like as a smokescreen. And then some really cool tips on how to cope with this. It's called Bore Out. Yeah. It's a really tough name.

They haven't really nailed it with this one. Quiet quitting, at least, like, rolled off the tongue, bore out just, you really want to say bore out every single time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, I think, I don't know, broadly, do you see this stuff about how, like, four-day work weeks are better for people and, like, allowing people to, like, you know, have time off to be humans helps. Yeah, but it's, it's, it's, couldn't be us. What's, what's the, like, experience, like, in terms of, like, in the adult film industry, in terms of your, your feeling of ownership over your work and how that sort of compares with other sort of professions, Siri.

Oh, well, I mean, I have pretty complete ownership over it at this point, which is, you know, it's not unique to me, but like, that's, that's not really the average experience. I mean, it kind of depends. People have different, there's different ways of building a career in the adult industry, but for me, you know, I don't have an agent, so, like, I only book shoots directly for things where I'm like working for a paycheck for a studio you know for a company that's still like a really small percentage of the total work I do most of what I do is just making my own content and selling it on fan platforms and then that's just you know I have all the control exactly that's

probably empowering to be able to you know have a say in what your labor is and ownership of it versus God like when I fucking did stupid retail jobs and they're like you guys need to unwrap all the purses and set them up now. And I'm like, I can't fucking do this anymore. Yeah, retail's painful. It's hard. It's hard. It's several thousand retail. Yeah. But again, I think like it's all these articles, I feel like just all miss like the point about it. It's like, it's the thing that we yearn for is to have work that feels like we are somehow centered. And even if we have to toil to like be able to survive, like being able to emphasize that you also need the autonomy as a person to, like, create or do nothing, luxur, whatever the fuck you want to do

and still have the ability to do that without feeling like, oh, you will die in the streets if you don't work constantly. Like, that's what we're getting at here. But sure, let's call it bore out. If that makes you feel weird, there's something wrong with you. It's called bore out. Yeah, right. Yikes.

All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut.

Listen to the Brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And another pandemic movie has hit, apparently. The new Ariaster movie, the guy made Midsome.

and Hereditary, and Bo is Afraid, which I'm now being told, is worth watching. People who, I don't know, when it first came out, it was very mixed reviews. And maybe this will be the same. But his new movie, Eddington, is like a Western, but it, like, takes place during the pandemic. And it's like an anti-vax sheriff versus a, like, liberal triangulator. Yeah, triangulator, politician and Peter Pascal. and it's like everyone's bad and crazy and fighting with each other.

But it like does take place during the pandemic. Everybody's just like communicating and like looking at screens. And some people say it's a boring vision of the world. That's one of the reviews. That was the Jacobin review. I've heard other people. I saw someone who saw it early and they were just kind of like, I didn't like it because it felt as crazy as everything is.

Like it didn't feel. it was sort of like maybe underline. But again, I think that's the thing with pandemic movies is everyone has their version of it that they're bringing to content like this. And you might be like, oh, wow, this is interesting. Or some people might be like, dude, I don't want to fucking think about this.

Yeah, yeah. Like, that's the thing. I remember when the pandemic first started, we were on here, like, talking about how to, like, where to find content from, like, from other pandemics. Right. And the thing I settled on that was like my favorite thing,

about pandemics was the Camus novel that is, I'm drawing a blank on the name of it, but Plague? Yeah, Plague, I think is what it's called. But that one is really good, but it was written like decades after the pandemic. And so, I mean, maybe this will be a thing where people in 50 years are just like, look back and be like, oh, shit, that's what it was like, you know? It's like a time capsule of just like how bad everything was that's like too real. like time capsules are not fun to open a couple years later but if you open them decades later

it can be pretty cool so but yeah just generally like pandemic content is real hit and mostly miss yeah i just don't i mean like i i i think it probably just because we're too we're still in the midst of covid being like being a thing that's still affecting people so i don't know how much time it'll take, but also I think part of me also thinks of, like, how that, how, like, the lockdowns really fractured people in this way that suddenly it was fine to not give a fuck about the collective well-being of others. And in fact, that was like a virtue for some people. And I don't know if maybe that that needs to be dove into deeper, but I think that's like a discomfort I get from it. I'm like, oh, man, like, shit, real people started really fucking

breaking apart too at that point when it's like, I don't give a fuck if my grandmother dies? Like, you're just like, this, what is? No, no. Siri, are you a pandemic content fan? Are you looking for that shit? Sir, are you a fan of the pandemic? Sir, you fan of that? Top pandemics, name of your favorite pandos. Like, I don't know, I can't even name you one piece of, like a movie or anything about a pandemic situation that I'm like, yeah, I love that. Or no, but like, when you hear about it, are you kind of like, oh, fuck, dude, this isn't really something I wish. Like, anytime it's, like, in the news for some reason now.

Or, no, like, Eddington. Like, for example, this film Eddington, like, that's taking place there. I mean, I'm definitely going to see the movie now. And I like, I mean, midsummer is, like, in my top three favorite movies of all time. So, yeah, I like, and I liked, but I was afraid, even though it was a lot. That's what I heard. Yeah. Wait, what was that last?

Wait, what's it about? What is it about? Oh, Jesus. Yeah, all right. Yeah, that's all I need to know, like Ariasher. And then Ariasher and then Ariasuring goes. what it, what is it about? And I'm like, all right, that's good for me.

It's like the inside of a very broken brain, right? Yeah. It takes place. Yeah, it's a wild ride. It's like if you want to watch a movie and feel like you've experienced, like, full psychotic, like, mania, et cetera, like, that's a good one. It's just, it was just, it's very unique and interesting and well done. I only saw it once in the theaters.

I should watch it again. Yeah. So I'll definitely be watching this. one. I like everything Ariaster is done. Yeah. I do feel like horror is the place that we go to for, because like I was saying, like just the actual dynamic of a pandemic is sort of like, meaning, like, you know, people just randomly, you know, we, we tell stories and listen to stories because they like help us like make narrative sense of a world that is oftentimes like somewhat random you know and so and i feel like pandemics and like plagues and stuff like that

it's just like that's the thing the cameo book writes about a lot it's just like how random it's like who catches it and who gets it and like people's inability to like kind of deal with that yeah but just that's not what we want our stories to tell us we don't want them to be like yeah it's actually turns out all meaningless and like fucking random and like you just died because the person who made your soup, like, had a bad teacher in the grade where they go over germ theory, and so they didn't wash their hands, like, three days ago, you know? Just, like, that's not the sort of thing that we go to stories for. So, like, horror movies that, like, represent these fears and things like that.

I feel like that's probably where we're going to work this shit out. our writer jam was saying that 28 years later has a lot of like pandemic-y stuff in it you know i mean it's literally about a a pandemic that changes how people live their lives it's just you know in that one it's much cooler it's a rage virus yeah yeah yeah exactly but yeah there's like a doctor who everybody hates because he's a doctor and shit like that everybody's just like fuck doctors fuck a doctor don't fucking tell me i mean that's that whole thing when people say like i'm not going to the doctor because they go tell me something's wrong. Yeah, yeah.

You know? It's a very American. Yeah, yeah, not a good, yeah. Oh, for sure. And also, like, you can also understand it's like, not only when they tell me something's wrong, it'll also cost too much money. Right.

So I'm just going to ride this one out until TBD. Yeah, I mean, I am curious to see, like, how the sort of Lib Pascal, Pedro Pascal character is kind of presented. Because, again, like, I think that from what it sounds like, people are sort of annoyed about like, everyone was kind of fucking wacky during the pandemic. But I think I'm really curious to see how they're like actually skewering that because, yeah, I know they allude to like toilet paper hoarding. But that felt like a full across the political spectrum wacky thing people were doing. We were all toilet paper hoarding. It was not just the left, okay?

I still am working my way through a stockpile. But that's why I felt like a fucking god with my bidet because I'm like, Brian, use a toilet paper like that. I just need a little bit. You know what I mean? Just to dry it up. That's it. Biday God out here.

I saw the matrix. Miles Badeade God. Yeah, exactly. Well, Siri, such a pleasure having you. Where can people, God bless you? God bless you. As we say at all of our guests. God bless you.

God bless you. God bless you. Siri, where can people, find you, follow you. I think you have a pretty cool event coming up. Is that right? I do have a cool event coming up. People can find me on SiriDoll.com.

Hell yeah. The Siri doll again on Instagram. And I'm on Blue Sky at SiriDall.com. I have one of those fancy URL usernames. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm. I am hosting an event

in September called Corn Telethon. This is the second one. Me and my friend and business buddy, Alex Steed, we co-produce it. Alex Steed. Alex Steed. Yeah, we love it. Friend of the show. And so Corn Telethon is a, much like the telethons of yours, in like the 80s and 90s.

We're fundraising for sex worker mutual aid nonprofits. It is basically a 12-hour live stream. variety show and it's very it's very fun and very grueling i think we had like 40 guests like in person last year we we had a lot like there's a lot it's just a revolving door everyone everyone's coming in to play a song or you know tell some jokes and sit on the couch and the whole thing is like we're going to entertain the shit out of you for 12 hours straight and please donate some money to a good cause what like and so it's truly a variety show like you're saying you're saying music, comedy. Wow. Okay. Okay. Yeah, a little bit of everything. Do you have people actually

answering phones? No, we don't. I don't know. We haven't. It's a little like logistically challenging to set that up. And also there's the aspect of like since it's it is live streamed, like we stream it on like YouTube and Twitch, which does provide like, yeah, I would love to do a live call in line. But I watch enough other live streamers to know that like when you do that, on those platforms, you're putting yourself at risk for, like, a channel. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's going to be some dipshit who calls in and says slurs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If you need somebody just in the background picking up a phone and pretending to have a conversation, but the phone's not connected to anything, hit me up. Yeah. We wanted to do that last year, and we kind of, like, didn't have, like, yeah, it was, it was going to be more complicated to set up than I think what we had realistic time to to achieve, but I don't know, we might, we might be trying this year. I do, I've been buying prop telephones. Oh, really? I have two and a third on the way. Okay. But, and in case, I haven't mentioned this, but in case it's not obvious, I feel like it probably is, but it's called corn telethon

because we can't use the word porn. Right. That wasn't obvious to me. And corn is like the code word on that, that people have been using on TikTok for a while. Like, when you talk about porn, you just say corn, or you use the corn emoji. Right. Nice. Along with sags. Are still people using SEGs still? Yeah. I mean, there's different versions of all of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's funny how much trying to skirt algorithms that tamped down on our free speech has forced us to have come like, like, you watching some corn?

I mean, porn, sorry, talking like the algorithm. You do always open conversations like that? You watching some corn? You guys watch some corn. Oh, forget it. Did you get out of here, man? Sorry. You guys got basketballs? You guys sell basketballs here? This is a library. This is a public library.

I knew that. I knew that. Yeah. That explains some very confusing conversations. I thought SEGS was just like a short firm for Segways. I was like, they got any, yeah, some SEGS. Well, wonderful. People can find out more about that at SiriDoll.com. At corn telethon.com. Cornelathon. Specific for the telethon, yes. There we go. September 4th.

Wonderful. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Yeah, unfortunately. I really enjoyed Temptation Island. Temptation Island. Yeah. That was crazy. I'd never seen it. You sound so sad. Yeah, because it's bleak. I mean, that's kind of how I feel about all the dating reality shows, but Temptation Island in particular. Oh, boy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Deeply entertaining, but also like, wow. Because it's, like, people who have their, like, unmarried couples, right?

And then it's like, I don't know, y'all, can y'all handle some, a bunch of hot people? Yeah, and then they bring, like, 12, like, they make the, well, they separate them by gender, and then they make them live with, like, 12 temptors or temptresses in a house together. And then if they, like, there's a point in the show where, like, if they have sex, then a, like, a claxon alarm goes off in the other house, but so they know. someone's fucking, but they don't know who it is. I didn't realize that. And it's one of their significant others.

Yeah. Wow. It's really crazy. Well, this is kind of like, I'm, I'm not monogamous. I'm poly. Like, I'm in a very long-term relationship, but, you know, we're Polly. Right. So it's, it's wild to watch, like, pretty much the format of every single dating reality show is, like, we're going to make these straight cis.

Right. monogamous couples like microdose polyamory yeah and give them zero fucking tools to handle it right right right and of course it's always disastrous like yeah that's what especially like once like it's a netflix dating show then i'm always like they're gonna turn the like fuck you up to 300 because like that's how i even feel about like when like the ultimatum and stuff it's like a similar thing where it's like i don't know maybe all are gonna get made or maybe you're gonna fuck this other person we pair you up with and we'll watch you your relationship fall apart. Yeah. And I can never really decide if I believe that they're intentionally casting douchebags or if like You just happen to be a douchebag to be

Yeah, or if it's people Because I know like people go on reality shows for like a lot of reasons and I mean one of the biggest ones is because you once you're off the show you're selling something to somebody even if it's just your social media presence. But yeah so it's like man how many

these people are actually this much like of a degenerate or or is it just like this, you've created a degenerate persona for this reality show. Yeah, right. I bet some of them look in the mirror and they don't even know anymore. Right.

Yeah. Who am I a douchebag? I think there's also, they just like get people really drunk, right? Is this one of those? Yeah, there have been lawsuits from like Love Island. So I've heard I don't know much about it because that's, I just started watching the new season of that one.

And, like, I haven't been paying close enough. It's, like, kind of slower-paced. Right, right, right. Yeah, but I know all the ones, like the early 2000s, late 90s, dating shows, those are all just booze-filled, like, fucking nonsense. I think it was, I mean, I hope I'm not misspeaking, but I'm pretty sure, because I have a friend who was, like, telling me all about the Love Island lore that they, like,

there was a lawsuit that resulted in. They don't just get, like, unlimited free. Like, they have to buy their own alcohol, like, the people on the show now on that, on that one to limit. Do I okay? Overconsum. Yeah. Wow.

Awesome. Miles, where can people find you as their work of media? You've been enjoying it. Yeah. Find me everywhere at Miles of Gray. I'm chatting shit about 420 day or a 90 day fiancé on 420 day fiance with Sophia Alexandra. That's where I talk about my nonsense reality dating show kick.

And let's see. A work of media I like, yes, this is a post on Blue Sky. This is at Dr. Yensfold, or Yensfold.de posted news. Malcolm Jamal Warner, who you've admired as a kid, has died. Me. No, news. Ozzy Osbourne, who you've admired as a kid has died. Me.

No. Hulk Hogan, who you've admired as a kid has died me. Ah, oh, well, you know, you do. I didn't know that Hulk Hogan died. Yeah. And then so did Chuck Mangione right after that. Oh, no. The great trumpet player.

that was made famous on King of the Hill Not Luigi's dad Not Luigi's uncle Obviously I was like Why is that name's down so familiar Chuck Mangy If you remember King of the Hill I think he died in the Megalomart

Explosion Or he was in that episode Anyway And he also He's made a ton of hits That like, you know Notorious VIG sampled and shit Chuck Mangione was a man

Oh And then the next one is from John Scott Railton At J.S.relton. At B.S.-Ralternat at social It's a graphic of like a new Mercedes Dashboard And it says Mercedes-Benz

expands collaboration with Microsoft to boost in-car productivity with enhanced meetings for Teams app into an integration in Microsoft 365 co-pilot and they quote tweeted and said, consider your honor that my client was being extremely productive at the time of the crash.

Yeah, maybe that'll get you out. That'll help. I like to tweet somebody was like when you call customer support and a clanker picks up and it's that picture of the guy like pulling the headphones off feeling, oh, Jose Marino, yeah.

And Kit Greer Mulvana tweeted, Can't believe I've lived far enough into the future to learn the first slur for robots. Clanker. Dang. I got a dang clanker on here. Clanker. Say about a customer service.
