Good people. What's up? What's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis,

from routines to recovery, true lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's surreal and raw. and something I really admire about her. I am so happy that I'm the head bitch in charge at 67, that I have the perspective that I have at my age to really be able to put all of this into context.

Friend. It means the Bart. The one courtesy of Vanadium Silver on the Discord. Great Simpson's good. That was him with the rake in the face. Oh, that was it. I thought that was a didgerie do. Oh,

Hell yeah, okay, yeah. There we go. My name's Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles Gray. This is the episode where we tell you what is trending on this Tuesday, March 24th. Yeah. Let's see. Let's see.

Fire up the old Rolodex. What do we got here? Okay. I see here on the list. Jack, that'll be Secretary of Domestic. I'm sorry, Homeland Security. Mark Wayne Mullen Secretary Mullen.

The only Mullen we respect in this house is Chris. Okay. And Jack already knew. We already know what time it is. Beautiful jumper. Beautiful jumper. St. John's, baby. Beautiful flat top. St. John's great.

That was so wild. That swag that those white basketball players had then, they're like, yeah, fuck you, dude. I'm just going to look like a cop. Like, straight up. There was no, it wasn't until maybe like Jason Williams came in and being like white chocolate, they're like, oh, yeah, okay, I don't have to like a I can have floppy Bieber hair.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But for a while, it was just straight up cop dudes. You copper, are you copper marine? I guess, I guess Larry Bird just had standard, like the haircut that you get when you go into a barbershop in Indiana and say, give me the one. Yeah, yeah. Give me the one haircut that you give to white guys. Give me a cut.

Yep, I got to say less. But anyway, Mark Wayne Mullen, he's been confirmed. uh, Rand Paul was the only GOP defector, but we knew that. It seems like he started off the fucking confirmation. I was like, a man of principle. And that principle being, you were mean to me once, bitch. Yeah. I don't like you.

You threw me under the bus. And you also said, I deserve to get beat the fuck up. Which shout out to him, you know. Yeah. Whatever your reason, being, being correct as, uh, as a GOP, uh, Senator. I'd say you deserved. I said, I understood. Understood why that guy

Wipped your ass all up and down your front front lawn. But yeah, the Martin Heinrich and the Commonwealth's very own John Federman were the two Democrats that placed the please primary me immediately sign on their backs. Ruben Gallego didn't vote.

But yeah. Why? What the fuck are these people doing? What do you? It's not like you voting along party lines was going to prevent this. You want to be like, oh, I want to make sure that he gets whatever. I mean, these are all people who, I mean, John Federman has just lost the fucking plot.

And Heinrich's probably doing more triangulation that we love to see in this era of fascism, full blown. But speaking of John Federman, he's had a 108 point swing in his approval polling since he entered office. Now, Miles, yeah. That seems mathematically impossible. to me. Sounds like Trump's saying we're going to save 500% on your prescription drugs. So that's how are we how are we doing that? Oh, really easy. So you start at plus 68 approval when you enter office. So 68% more approved of him than disapproved. Yes. When he comes into office on a like socialist left wing platform. Yeah, like progressive. Progressive

Vich. Progressive light, you know, like progressive enough, but really also be like yeah, thank God you kick Dr. Oz's ass kind of energy. Yeah. And then... Got some sympathy for his health crisis. You go from 68 down to minus 40. So this is 40% more

disapprove than approve of them. So when you have the approval and disapproval worked in there, you've got two matrices to work off of. So that's how we get a 108 point swing. It's literally unprecedented.

than in that, and no one in recorded history has ever had to fall off this hard. Yeah. So, I mean, it makes sense because this guy is now just basically fucking maga. And in a hood.

Full blown. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, guys, we should have maybe when he pulled this shotgun on the black guy when he was the mayor that might have been,

you know, kind of a sign that, you know, maybe. I mean, he looked good in a car heart, though. He looked good in a car heart.

I think we're underrating how much, people who are not all there like we're seeing Donald Trump show signs of dementia and suddenly he's doing things I mean he's obviously always been bad but like the Iranian

like the decision to start the war in Iran and unprecedentedly like bad one John Fetterman like suddenly becomes very it's like they're very permeable like I feel like the people the forces in Washington see somebody like this and they're just like

that we can get to this motherfucker like easy. Like they're not up to the task of withstanding the immense amount of like forces and pressure and money that gets, you know, immediately starts pushing on you the second you're in a position of power. I'm sure they're looking around the halls of the Capitol like like 1970s times where pickpockets were. And they'd see somebody unfurl their big giant tourist map being like,

uh, where am I? and they're like, oh yeah, we got one, we got one, we got one. Shirts untucked. He's got one boot on. Yeah, he's just like, hoodie on, looking like a mess. And they go, spider cuddled fly. Hey, who's Bill Belichick over there?

Who's the motherfucker who's like Bill Belichick with no sleeves on? Just literally orient his body to the right side of the chamber and he'll just drift that way. One unlaced boot on, the other boot on his head, just like, boot head running into walls. Yeah, I just, you know, We talk on our icon episodes about like the great man theory of history that like we we like to be like, well, it was he did that. There's one guy who did this for this reason. And it's like, no, it's the forces of that time.

Yeah. And these guys are just very easy to manipulate. Like I was noticing. I was reading this New Yorker article about like the history of Iran and how we ended up here. And they ended up being like, and this is like part of Trump's. like that you know very disapproving but also kind of putting it all as like part of like trump changing the way that u.s does things and it's like no he's just open to influence and this is something that there are very many people very many powerful forces that have been

trying to get the u.s to do for a long time yeah yeah and this guy's just fucking you're you're mistaking the surfer for the wave yes yes you know what I mean exactly the The wave is a mixture of so many influential people, geopolitical forces, et cetera. And then merely there is some leader who's riding the wave in one direction or the other. Yeah. He ain't the wave. You have to be, like,

the only person we've seen like really push back in any significant way against this, and he's not 100% successful is Bernie Sanders, who, that was that's like his main skill he just sat there in congress and like didn't didn't go with the direction of the wave for like many centuries everybody else just like goes everybody everybody else just gets pushed well i think because most people don't even have any kind of real like true articulated like ideological sort of value they're just there for the power yeah they're there for the power and like what's everybody else doing oh okay

what's our team doing bad okay bad yeah bad oh but should note that mullin is being replaced because he had to resign his Senate seat to get into DHS. He's being replaced by a sentient oil rig and former like oil pipeline CEO named Alan Armstrong. Some MAGA people don't like that because he gave to Adam Kinsinger that Republican, like former Republican congressmen. He's a fucking, he's a rhino, never Trumper, not full Nazi like the rest of us. He might have half a brain, but he doesn't. I don't. So. So the only thing that matters to them is that like Donald Trump changes his opinion and what, what he's going to do and goes from being anti, you know, intervention in foreign countries to pro intervention. The one thing that they care about is purity tests of like, well, do you do you like Donald Trump? Do you like dear leader? I do just want to comment that like on Iran, just the propaganda coming out from both sides, you know, Iran is dropping a lot. of, you know, we talked about the Lego movie.

There's also this kind of motion graphic thing called the Lord of the Straits. That is a very simple... You're doing that's a lot of AI shit too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like a very simple video just using a motion graphic to tell the story of how they plan to achieve victory and how, like, what's been going on so far. And it's very effective.

And then when you, like, compare that to the U.S., which, like, All they're doing is, like, making fucking video game highlight reels of, like, blowing up shit. Yeah, just like kill cam, like, let the bodies hit the floor style, you know, internet memes. It's like, what the fuck are you doing? I think because the propaganda at this point can only be aimed at the base. Yeah. They know this is, there's no winning over people who aren't the base. So it's just like, well, how do we get the base excited about this?

So let's just at least give them the impression that we're fucking doing boom, boom, here comes the boom. Yeah. Because, yeah, everybody else is like, what the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck is this? Everybody told Donald Trump also yesterday was like, you know, we didn't really expect them to widen the war and attack some of the other Gulf states. And it's like, first of all, Dick had everyone told you to that. I expected that. I don't know shit.

I'm an idiot. I knew that. You probably heard that and said, no, it'll be fine. And then they did it and you go, I didn't expect that. Oh, because of the last person

that you spoke to or the people, the preponderance of the voices that were speaking to you were telling you that it wasn't going to happen. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and also just like their shit postings,

even, it's like, S-tier shit posting too coming out of like Iran. Really good. They're like, oh, here's a conversation from Trump's WhatsApp. And it's just so is a one-sided WhatsApp conversation. It says, President of Peace. Like, in the parenthesis, like you. So like this is Trump's view from WhatsApp says,

Hey, Ayatollah, let's talk about the straight for sure. Oh, that's good to hear. I will cease attacks for five days. Thanks for your attention to this matter. No response. Just nothing back. There was another one that was like, Like the straight of Hormuz will be controlled by me and the Ayatollah.

And there's a picture of like a car, like an interior of a car with like a child steering wheel. Child steering wheel. Next to the week. The one was like, uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Man, those, I haven't seen a child steering wheel on a long time. The ones that are, because children are not allowed to sit in the front seat, I guess. Yeah, because we became a chicken shit country, man.

That's right, man. Remember fucking trophies for everyone, man. That was right. Was Maggie in the backseat rocking the wheel in the Simpsons opening? No, I think she was right next to Marge. Yeah. I think Marge was smoking a cigarette. No, that's not true.

No. But yeah, this article, like, you know, I didn't learn anything new, but I was reminded of, you know, the history of America intervening in Iran was the thing that basically they said that it was the CIA's breakout performance where the U.S. had just like, a bloody, expensive, inconclusive war to beat communism in Korea. And then ousting Mossadegh was a, quote, crisp victory for just a few sacks of cash. And then that's when the CIA went on a spree where they're like, we got this.

The political scientist, Lindsay O'Rourke, has counted 64 occasions when the U.S. sought to secretly oust a government or tilt an election during the Cold War. more than two-thirds of these attempts were, like the Iran coup, in support of authoritarian's. That's just, like, I guess I always knew that. But as we're sitting in our teetering on the brink of authoritarianism or already in, you know, authoritarianism, you know, when your country's foreign policy is to go into other countries and overthrow them and install violent authoritarianism. authoritarian over and over again, maybe it shouldn't be a surprise when your country is eventually

run by violent authoritarian. It's like the U.S. was telling us over and over again who it was through its foreign interventions and just pretending to be something different at home, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, that was a whole thing. I mean, that's why, again, Americans are the most propagandized human beings on earth. Like, no concept of American imperialism, even to this day. It's like so minuscule the awareness around it.

Yeah. And people were just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, cool. I mean, most people just thought like the Cold War is like, no one was just like launching nuclear missiles or anything. It's like, well, no, because it was fought by being like, how are you going to suppress communism? That's right. Socialism through these underhanded ways. Like the CIA loves to do. All right.

Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about things that aren't Iran. We'll talk about Project Hail Mary. We'll talk about the Wu-Tang's final tour, in quotes. Better not be. Better not. We'll be right back.

You know Roaldahl, the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of power. Americans.

What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. The guy was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman.

And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is It Girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes,

we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now. As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility,

and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being a it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Marsh Madness is here. And if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds.

What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really. really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas.

SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. I'm flagrant and funny. We're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments, the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to Flakron and Funny with Kerry Champion and Jamel Hill on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. Good people. What's up? What's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actors and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis. ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta. I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before.

You know, at one point I shut my laptop down. And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient. So we have some commonality there. I predicted that, by the way. And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle. Yes. And I looked at you and I said, what? and you said dust off your mantle.

And then I left and that was it. And then when all of that happened, I remember the next morning, I think I wanted to write you and go, how did you know? Listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I became a millionaire overnight but lost everything that actually mattered.

Wait a minute, Sophia. Did you just say he lost everything? That's right. It's inheriting too. Too much drama week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom, and now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands out.

One sibling wants me to fund their whole lifestyle. Another vanished for four years and suddenly reappeared. And my girlfriend is already giving my money away. Hold on, Sophia. So the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door. And that's just the beginning. He makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control.

Okay, so things work out. out then? Let's just say the people he trusted the most are the ones who ended up shocking him the most. So does the money end up being worth going through all that? To find out, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We do love to see it when a major motion picture comes out and does extremely well at the theaters. Yeah. Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling as a, I don't really know, man. Do you know, he's like an astronaut or something on a shit?

It's by the guy who wrote The Martian. His name made me laugh. I don't know, man. What's the deal? It's space movie. It seems very similar to the Martian in that it's guy in space having to survive. But he's trying to get the sun started back up is like the thing. It's like the sun is dying and then there's like a little alien sidekick.

and they're kind of in it to get. I don't know. It looks. The trailer looks cool. I haven't read the book. I know a few people who are like big on the book. But yeah, this. That's the first thing I've heard that made me not want to watch it is getting the sun started back up.

I hate that. But the one thing that made me laugh at that is Ryan Gosling plays a character by the name of Rylund Grace. Ryland Grace. Yeah, baby. Anyways, the one thing, I'm happy to see it. They did a stunt where they sent an IMAX display unit into space. 110,000. They hooked it up to that balloon thing that goes, like, can take things up to space.

It said it 110,000 feet above the earth. How big was this screen? That's the question that is impossible to tell, Miles. This is my point. This is, you have no way of knowing. It just looks like a phone because you're in space. It could be. You need to put a person like or something up there for scale.

Have we learned nothing from dick picks? Right. We learned nothing from dick picks. Put a fucking TV remote next to it. Thank you. Okay. Because otherwise it just looks like you put a flat screen. Like it says.

So, oh wait, are they claiming that's a full on IMAX screen? I don't know what they're claiming. It's impossible to tell. Yeah. I mean, they're calling it an IMAX unit. Let me see. IMAX display unit to a height of 110,000 feet. Put a can next to it for scale.

What the fuck? How big? I mean, like in this image of the guy inflating the balloon, I can't imagine that little balloon is lifting a full-ass IMAX screen. But it looks like, as Prime the editor just said, a Vizio in space. That's exactly what it looks like.

you got it you need something put put a little a dummy like fake person there who's facing the screen so you get a sense of the enormity of it like that has to it can't be a fucking full on screen that'd be such a liability that fucking shit breaks yeah if that thing fell and just like I'm looking at this right now took out a city it's bobbing around as if it were I don't know attached to a balloon right and I'm not convinced anyone's actually watching it

Is anyone watching it? No, nobody's watching it at all, Brian. This is my point. Okay, so they just sent it up. I thought they sent it up for the, for like the ISS people to watch or some shit. No. That would have been cool.

That would have been cool as fun. That was my idea, but I was like, oh, no, they just sent up a fucking Vizio on a balloon. They should be able to send things to the space station on balloons. Like a Miyazaki movie. They can Uber eats things to the space station by just ordering it on a balloon. that flies up that'd be so adorable.

It's going to be frozen when it gets up there though guys, you gotta tell you. You can bring it back. Air friars can do amazing things. But anyways, this is the sort of thing that's probably going to get

credit for they'll be like, well, did you see how hard did the movie hit? But as we covered in our Arnold Schwarzenegger icons episode,

the biggest flop of all time in his career and maybe like of all time for a number of years in Hollywood was the last action hero where they advertised on the side of a space shuttle

but then the space shuttle launch got pushed back three months and so by the time they launched it it had already like eaten total shit at the box office. It was just this like huge advertisement to the hubris of the studio and Arnold Schwarzenegger

the other big miscalculation they made on that film is they were like, yeah, we're going to put it out at the same time as this movie Jurassic Park, which we feel like is not going to do very well. So we got this, folks aimed at the exact same demographic. I remember and you know what, dude, I saw them both in theaters.

Yeah. I loved both. I mean, I'm more, I definitely love Jurassic Park more, but I fucking watched the shit at a last action hero. I did too. I did too. And I remember at the time,

That's like when I was first introduced to Bridget Nelson, who plays her daughter, but then it's Veronica Vaughn and Billy Madison. Oh, Veronica Vaughn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's in that movie. And I remember I was obsessed with her. I was like fucking 10 years old, nine years old. And my mom, you know, she used to write for like, do it. She's like a film critic.

She had a junkie. I think my dad was taking pictures. And she let me skip school so I could just go fucking thirst in the background during the photo shoot. and then like get my little fucking last action hero. Oh my God. That's so healthy that your mom knew who your crush was. Like my parents. Yeah.

Like I was, I've talked before on this that I was like obsessed with Paul. Wilson, not Nelson. I'm thinking to Brigitte. Yeah, Brigitte Wilson. Yeah.

Yeah. I was obsessed with Paul Abdul. But like I would never admit to that. Like I think my, it was so obvious. Like I would just stare at like a picture all day. And they're like, Are you okay, fool?

And I'm like, huh? What? I like her. And they're like, okay. Rocketeer, Jennifer, Jennifer Connolly and Rocketeer. Yeah. I was fucked up off.

And my mom knew because I was just like, I was like, what's that lady's name? What's the lady's name? And like after the movie, I kept asking, what's her name? What else is she in? I want to see her again. I was pretty out there with my thirst, you know?

You were, uh, you also liked age appropriate. I was going after old ass Paul Abdul. I think in her early 30s at the time that I was like, girl, you and me could be something. Oh, Rosie Perez. Oh, Rosie Perez. God. White man can't jump.

Yeah. Oh, you know what happened? I found out what people suspect is that it is an IMAX enhanced TV. So it can play IMAX content. So like. So can my TV. Yeah, I'm feeling a little pissed off about that. But again, I'm a little annoyed.

But we do need movies to. make it come back. So we'll allow it. Rylind Grace conservative ass Matt Walsh was even like, this movie is good. And I'm like, what? I think a lot of people like it.

I know, but that's crazy because that whole media sphere is built to just shit on whatever comes out in the mainstream. Whatever he was like, he's like, this was a good movie. It was actually good for, it was fun for the family. Well, that's my favorite part of the conservative media sphere is like how hard they

stand mainstream like they're like Hollywood more like Holly weird this place is a fucking but I've seen everything I've seen every movie and here's my three hour review of West Side Story like a movie that like nobody even saw it more times yeah first time for story second time for character all they want all they want is to be able to make mainstream popular culture be accepted and it is the one thing that they cannot have as well a thing called empathy helps with their partners. But, yeah, yeah, that too, sure.

Wu Tang. Wu Tang, what is it? Forever. We've heard about it. Wu Tang clan. The children are loving it. The kids are calling it the Wu Tang clan. This is, this was like my entire, you know, I've talked before about how when I was

in elementary school, my identity was kid who had seen jaws over a hundred times. And then I think I skipped directly to, emerged. I think I skipped directly to the Wu Tang clan from that. That's all fuck. Wow, bro. You went to from Jaws kid to fucking Staten Island. I might have been a Jordan kid for a little while in between there, like just obsessed with Michael Jordan wearing only like Michael Jordan and Bulls T-shirts and like a, I had a Bulls bucket cap. And yeah, that was that was my shit for a little bit. But then, yeah, Wu Tang was was it for me. Oh, yeah. For by 1990s, by the time for. Forever, when forever, Wutang Forever came out, that is when I fully, my eyes, my pupils turned into W-Tang W's. I became a killer B.

Yeah. Flying around wearing, wearing ski goggles on the side of my head, like I was Method Man. I just, like, reconnected with a friend of mine from that time, like, when I lived in Kentucky. And he's just like, he, just his description of, like, how to, so, I was, like, how, like, I would always be rapping lyrics from Wutang Clan and stuff. He's just like, he's like, remember when you used to, like, say this one, like, lobster kicks or like, all of you lobster kick? Oh, man. Oh, man. But look, I mean, my sweet, our sweet Staten Island boys, we went from dorks to at least me mentally unwelled teenager who thought he lived on Staten Island. Yeah. We're wearing bubble jackets, really fully embracing at all.

I had no sense that that was a terrible place to live. No, not at all. I'm like, S-I-N-Y, 10304. I'm like, yeah, I know the zip code. I don't know why. I thought it was like a mythical place where you would like go and be like wind swept. And there would be like Chinese instruments playing and shit from like a kung fu movie. And Pime, the old fucking Kung Fu master would welcome you to the borough.

But yeah, they apparently now, they're going on what they are calling their final four. but I personally will never believe a band, especially rappers, when they say they were doing the final anything. That's like saying, we need money for the final time. That's right. No, you fucking don't, bro. And I'm not trying to shade y'all to be like, you're broke. I'm just saying a time is going to come and you're probably going to want to go on the road again. This happens all the time and that's okay.

We'll still go. But this tour, they're doing with bone thugs, which I mean, I'm like, okay, millennial. Millennial rap. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah. 27 city tour, all the original members plus Capadonna and ODB's son. He's now like the ODB replacement. Will I go?

Maybe. I only say that because I don't think this is the last time I will ever be able to scream along to out-of-breath middle-aged rappers who are on stage. I do just really miss my uncle Charles, yeah. Oh. Oh, no. That's a good show, too, because even the bone thugs starting off, you get to be like, and I miss my uncle, Tom.

And do some, you know, notorious thugs, whatever they're going to do, yeah. Yeah, nothing. I've never been, like, more impressed than, like, watching bone thugs, like, do their thing. Just like that high, high pace rapid fire shit is very cool. Yeah. I have seen the Wu-Tang Clan a few times and I came away

with like this feeling like any time I was finishing a sentence three sweaty dudes were gonna jump up behind me and say the last scream the last word of that sentence behind because that like

that is the vibe of the Wu-Tang shows everybody's on screen on stage screaming the last the punchline of every verse over and over again. Yeah. Hasn't been my favorite translation from like studio to stage in my experience. I mean, and look, every time I've seen Wu-Tang, I've had to wait so long. It's never, it's not a fun experience usually.

Experience. Bizarro. Yeah. That's the other thing that holds me back because even like, even when I'll go to see a method man show, like, Method Man has gotten better. Methad Man's, in my experience, has been the best, like, translation. Most together, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. And his voice sounds great. I saw a red and meth. I've seen two Red Man Method Man shows. Those took so fucking long for him to come for them, I think, because they were just getting so fucking high. Yeah. But there's, dude, have you seen, there's this video that was on the internet.

And it's, it's a troll video, but it's so well done. It's like this Australian guy claiming he was in the studio with bone thugs. in harmony telling them like what to do it's so stupid dude it's so fucking funny i gotta just play this this guy is like this like a cell phone video this guy's just talking very earnestly to camera yeah i remember being in the studio with bone thugs in harmony when they were making um the crossroads song and um crazy bone actually he looked at me and he said who do you think should should start this one off and i basically said well you know why don't we use busybone because he doesn't really start many of the songs off so we'll try

busybone and then busy looked at me and he said um I don't have any lyrics you know I haven't got anything started to get the song going and basically I looked at him in it I was like eh scardick denisee scar's got it I mean goosugat scardick and then um we all looked at each other and said that's it, man. That's it. We've got a hit. Scuris, Scott. And so the crossroads was made.

That whole wind up. I got my ass. Oh, yeah. And I say, man, I don't have any lyrics. I said, skis-kaz, Scott. Scott. So stupid. And this was posted in the Bone Thug subreddit.

And I remember going, and people were, like, like, oh my God, I had no idea. And people are like, hold on, y'all. This guy looks too young to have been in the fucking studio. He never even said who he is or what he is to bone folks. I think this guy just keeps

dropping these troll posts. Scott, Scott, yeah. That is the Crossroads the single that I wore out the most in the history of my life. I played that song over and over and over. And I don't think I ever

got tired of it. I still fucking love that song. It's so good. Because you'd sing, boom, boom, bone, bone. That's... It also helps because you can't learn the lyrics. Yeah. It's just, you know. And I said... You can never get your head around it. The lyrics should be, skin his guy, Skadi. Yeah, Scottie. Get a nice thing, Skardt, scottie. And then, um, we all looked at each other and said, that's it, man. We all looked at each other and said, that's it.

Who is this guy? I have no idea. It was just posted completely out of... I saw this because I was, for whatever reason, the bone thugs and Harmony suffered. And this is just posted there. I spent a lot of time just looking for the truth, you know? Skis-skazka.
