Starting point is 00:04:09 I'm glad. I'm glad we're covering this. I will be a listener for that segment. Yeah. Yeah. All of that. Plenty more. But before we get to that, we would love to introduce the two hilarious guests that we
Starting point is 00:04:20 have today. They are the hosts of the amazing podcast, Bald Talk. They are Charlie Sanders and Brian Husky! Hey! We have really weird voices, it turns out. Whoa! We put fake voices on when we do Bald Talk. We're going to do funny voices for funny podcasts.
Starting point is 00:04:42 This is what we really sound like. Oh my goodness. Yeah. So the voice that you were doing before was actually a voice that you put on. This is the real voice. Wow. I had no idea. In normal conversation, we hide, and then on the mic, we're real.
Starting point is 00:04:59 How are you guys? Where are you guys? Are you in Los Angeles? I'm in Los Angeles. I'm in Los Angeles. I'm in my podcasting basement upstairs. I just now started dipping my toe into having other people come to my house. So the lady who's been working with me for years is like cleaning. And I was like, open up all the windows, open up all the doors,
Starting point is 00:05:21 like just create like a wind tunnel while you're working here. A tornado. Right, right. up all the doors like just create a like a wind tunnel while you're working here right so right now i just like it's so weird to hear act like a lot of activity upstairs yeah it's either just like my daughter walking around or my dogs and so all these like weird sounds i'm like oh my god what is that a second person yeah so hopefully it's being picked up on the mic too and it just sounds like i'm uh i don't know yeah haunted house yeah exactly uh charlie where how about you i'm in los feliz in my apartment in my office that's become my career has taken this bizarro turn where i'm now a podcaster which i never really planned on being
Starting point is 00:05:57 but i met my uh in-office studio that i've created very few us did. Miles was planning to be a podcaster in the 80s before anyone knew what that meant. But yeah, a lot of us, this is new. It used to be just called, yeah, being an only child talking to yourself. That's right. Turn that shit into a career. Yeah. All right, guys. Well, we like to ask our guests up top, what is something from your search history that allows us to get to know you a little bit better? Well, my top thing from my search history that I looked up was coin shortage. Do you guys know about this? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah. Lack of change. There's no change circulating because no one's buying stuff with cash because of the pandemic. And I was at a national park and I had all these signs that were like, you know, we don't have any coins. We can't give you coin change. So you're going to have to either pay up or pay down a little bit. And I was like, how is there a coin shortage? It's so bizarre. So that's my recent search history.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And the problem with having a coin shortage, I mean, if physical money is not being exchanged, what is the problem with it? Then it's just like it creates like hoarding. It creates not a flow of pennies. I don't know. There wasn't that much information about it. It just was like there's no ā€“ nobody is spending cash, so there's no coins. It just turns everybody into a premature grandpa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Just have jars of coins in your house. I have a lot of coins in a little tin thing. Oh, yeah, I do too. I keep it in an old coffee thing. And once it gets to like maximum fullage, I know, I was like, ooh, this is about $75. But I'm not going to go into a grocery store and go to one of those machines right now. If somebody wants to come by and do that service for me i'll give you a five dollar cut there should be like an
Starting point is 00:07:48 uber coin collection coin collector uh my glimpse into who i am and what's important for me my search history is i looked up the claritin allergy free pillow only recently wow wait what they're manufacturing a pillow oh yeah guys get it because my girlfriend was like i i'm staying at this place and i had the most amazing pillows and i was like i'm dubious i'm also terrified of not of buying a pillow without trying it right because that could be bad how do you try a pillow you go into this you literally go into the store and you you lay it down on some kind of like lower level thing. And then you bend over slightly.
Starting point is 00:08:30 You are resting on it. Bend a little bit at the waist. And you are ready for glit. You're ready for people to look at you with a stink eye. And you're just like, Hey, I'm going to spend money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I got to test it out. I can't remember the last time I bought a pillow. dude i need it my i mean when i take the pillow cases off it just looks like i live with a rabbit who's like violating my pillows the things that leak out of my head when i'm asleep are... I assume it's like watery earwax or something. Oh, dude, I ate Domino's the other night. And I woke up with the weirdest stain on my pillow that I've ever seen. Like a weird red goo. That was fucking weird.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Your sweat just was like pure marinara sauce. Just not pepperoni. Yeah. I just grew up inheriting pillows you know what i mean so like every time i just moved uh and like so we were like you know taking pillowcases off pillows and we were both looking at these pillows like where the fuck did these come from whose were they and we know they're if we carbon dated them they're like older than like watergate so we're like okay this was alexander the greats pillow yeah seriously i'm like wow look at this inscription we can find the the real shroud of terrain if we just follow mine always look like rusty by the end yeah and the filling
Starting point is 00:09:56 of them at by the end of it's like it's like 40 dander of some kind it's like feathers and and little bits of skin which is like all those things that remind you that like humans are like you're a creature like you lose constantly you're just like a losing mass yeah you're an off-gassing disgusting thing wait but as a yeah as a pillow that's like a doritos locos level crossover where it's like this is what is it this is a brand that you associate with just knocking you the fuck out on a warm summer's night i don't really i don't think it's like sprayed with you know claritin right i think it's sort of claritin endorsed to help uh it's like an allergy free right pillow right right so you know clareareton endorsed Trump too, right?
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah, yeah. A lot of people were waiting to see where Clareton was going to go. For me, it was my love of NASCAR, and then they started to sponsor some driver, and then it led to Trump, and now the pillow. So that's kind of the thought. The MyPillow guy is pissed right now.
Starting point is 00:11:02 He's so mad. Why didn't Zyrtec give me a call what the fuck yeah oh well zyrtec will they they were backing bernie i think in the primary that's true yeah yeah yeah yeah he's more of a fan of things that keep you up than claret and he's he likes those other substances they're like it's in our name claretin d for democrats come on guys you knew what it was the whole time we're're signaling it from the beginning. Big D Democrats. Very centrist. I hope I have to give a driver's license when I purchase this pillow, though.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I can reduce it down to that. You have to have a real ID. Exactly. Right. What is something that you guys think is underrated? Mookie Betts. Mookie Betts. That dude is underpaid at $350 million million or whatever he is fucking the greatest baseball
Starting point is 00:11:47 player of all time he's so good i love we're all freaking out but we should be freaking out more we should be like running out our doors and down the street he's so good yeah yeah so game one he had two steals in a single inning uh the dodgers had three steals in a single inning, which was the most since 1912. Damn. Really? World series, which is catch. I guess it was game seven of the last series where he basically flew.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yeah. Right. I was like, he's flying. That's not, no human can do that. And also just like one of the all time great names, I think.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah. He could, he would, he would either be like a jazz drummer or a baseball player yeah yeah yeah i mean how come mookie blaylock didn't get his you know roses when he was playing in the nba oh yeah that's right it's mookie blaylock was a name that i think i invented before he made it into the NBA because when I was like when I was a kid I used to like pretend to be like the local basketball like local college basketball team and like that there
Starting point is 00:12:53 would be this amazing recruit that came in named Mookie Blaylock and then he became like I found out he was a real basketball player also that name name is so amazing that that was Pearl Jam's name before they were Pearl Jam, was Mookie Blaylock. Really? Yeah. And they were like, that's kind of weird. Isn't that why the Mookie Blaylock at UCB is also, he was like a Mookie Blaylock, or he's Blake Lock, right?
Starting point is 00:13:21 It's so funny how there's a similar Mookie Blake Lock, who's the improviser mookie blaylock the fucking nba player it's i asked mookie he's like where'd you get your is mookie like your parents give you that he's like no i don't people just started calling me that like he really didn't have a memory of like why his name is chester actually is is like is there some wizard going around blessing the mukis of the world like without them knowing and then like i call you blue i call you muki you are now a muki yeah or it's like the result of some amnesia episode you just wake up
Starting point is 00:13:57 i mean I mean, I'm now Mookie Sanders. Like everybody. I think it's too late for me, but I definitely, I definitely wish I had gone Mookie earlier. I didn't know that was the thing you could do. Just become like, yeah. Mookie Blakelock sounds like a name that was made up on the spot more than, it sounds like a name that I would have made up on the spot if somebody was like, Hey, what's your name? Right.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah. Or, yeah. Or you're doing an improv scene and you have to name your improv partner and they come in. What's up, Mookie? Hey, Mookie. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. It's crazy because Mookie, the improviser, is like one of the funniest improvisers.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Oh, yeah. He's so funny. I mean, I don't know. Almost nobody's cracked me up on stage as much as him. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So you're just, if you're named Mookie, you're inherently talented. Well, he does, like, at the end of every scene, he goes,
Starting point is 00:14:53 that's it from Mookie. And everybody goes crazy because he just says his name. Then he leaves the show and he doesn't do any more scenes. Mookie! Oh, man. How much do you guys miss doing improv? you guys improvisers i'm not i i did back in the day when i was trying when i thought that's how i was going to get on the office and i gave all my money to ucb in 2011 they scammed you yeah and then i was like wait they're making me do
Starting point is 00:15:18 level four a bunch of times uh what do you get on the office yeah i know that i feel like that was you know like for a lot of people that seeing that sort of pipeline because first like the groundlings was like the pipeline to a lot like everyone was hiring a lot of groundlings people and then ucb people were coming out of ucb were getting a lot of work too and that was sort of my like 10 000 foot view from like doing improv in college with groundlings being like when i got back into it when i left politics i was like no it's ucb man this is where i'm going yeah you guys back in our day it was conan that you were trying to get on oh really right right right like as a writer as a as the masturbating oh as a writer would be like the ultimate but that was yeah that was just to be a bit character
Starting point is 00:15:59 in the crowd everybody did be a sketch actor everybody did bits and then you would eventually get in kind of getting good with them and then you'd eventually get in good with them. Say to one of the writers, can I submit a packet? You get somebody to usher you in a little bit. You guys are both famed improvisers. Do you guys miss it quite a bit? So much.
Starting point is 00:16:20 It's totally one of the things when I would do it regularly and then i wouldn't do it i was like oh i feel crazy when i don't do this stuff right right my wife was just saying uh i hope i hope improv theater's open because i'm tired of your bits around the apartment yeah i'm like performing for an audience of one all the time i know i know who also has to be in the scene with you right right right carry the weight and you're like hey is it cool if i just spill a bunch of beer in the kitchen i need it to smell like backstage at franklin yeah that's right
Starting point is 00:16:54 brian you have anything you think is underrated oh god this is probably the lamest underrated maybe you've gotten it before but i'm only saying it based on something i heard this week uh again fucking masks guys mask all day long i because i i heard i overheard someone uh just past these two people and they were like uh i see you're wearing a mask and the other person was like yeah i mean i recognize it's just kind of like a vanity thing like to make other people feel better so i'm kind of doing my part. Oh, my God. And I was like, what? Why is it a vanity thing?
Starting point is 00:17:30 Like, is it a vanity thing for you and just to make other people feel better? I was like, yeah, literally. So they don't die. People will feel better. I went running. I usually run around my neighborhood where you can, like, stay kind of away from people. I went to the reservoir because I was like, oh, I just want a new setting for going running. I usually run around my neighborhood where you can like stay kind of away from people. I went to the reservoir cause I was like,
Starting point is 00:17:47 I just want a new setting for going running. Nobody, nobody was wearing a mask. I mean, I was like one of the only people in a mask and I was running. Yeah. Right. Like the guy violently exhaling.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the, I mean, that's the thing. It was like, all right, you be the guy, guy running just spread it and then everybody else
Starting point is 00:18:09 protect yourselves from that but just like i don't know so yeah it's funny how just like those simple things i started watching uh totally under control that documentary that they were filming during uh covid that alex gibney produced and directed and my god just even hearing like how south korea responded they're just being like no we really got a test that's how we're gonna do this if we get our testing shit done and then you watch how everything happened in this country like everything has been so fucking simple and it's just an absolute the politics completely screwed everything up it's really kind of infuriating yeah i have an interviewer with in taiwan they have crazy low numbers and so the person in charge of digital
Starting point is 00:18:52 tracking was a former hacker who then started to work for the government um and he just hearing him talk and they present him as like like a benevolent hacker like he was sort of like a person like a white hat hacker yeah he wasn't like up. Like he was sort of like a person who wasn't like ā€“ Like a white hat hacker. Yeah, he wasn't like upending things. He was sort of like, no, there are problems and we're trying to fix it. So just hearing him talk about like, well, what we did was we sort of looked at what we needed to do first. And we presented that to the public.
Starting point is 00:19:20 And they responded positively. And then he just taught ā€“ he presented it in such a way that was just like, we recognized that this was going to affect everyone. We told them, they supported it and we went step-by-step to implement it as opposed to this thing of being, immediately selling it as like,
Starting point is 00:19:39 your rights are being infringed or we can't trust them or we don't know what this is. It's such a weird, for us, i feel like it was this moment of like yes nobody knows what this is but that doesn't mean that we all have to collectively like scatter from the room in fear like we could sort of be in this room together and and go up against this threat together but we didn't right just like freaked out everybody's like run run and then we started pointing fingers at each i mean that's why among us is so popular right now it's right it is a reflection of like how we react to everything in our society um now i know what among us is but uh
Starting point is 00:20:17 me too i. For the listener. What does Miles do? I'm very aware of what Among Us is. Yeah, on Twitch. I mean, dude, AOC and Ilhan Omar just went off on playing Among Us, which is, it's like werewolf, you know what I mean, where you suspect, you know, it's like, it's about sussing out people who are, you know, the sabatoochies, the sabatoors. And I know about it because I have a kid.
Starting point is 00:20:42 So yeah, it's a video game where you sort of like, you're in a room and one person, there's a murder and then you have to solve it and you're on a spaceship and stuff. Very cool. But I realized like, oh, this has its what, fucking 15 seconds of fame right now because I saw it in a meme that was just about literally about COVID, how it's being handled and stuff. Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I've been seeing it nonstop and I've not done the job of,
Starting point is 00:21:11 I rely on other people to just explain things to me. So you're putting too much time on that PlayStation Twitch. Oh, that's unaware of current culture. That's mainly. Yeah. I know maybe about 10% of what's going on uh it is totally um like when you look at other countries when you look at like what the playbook is for a administration during a pandemic
Starting point is 00:21:36 like everything is so fucking simple it's just like do these three things and then do them over and over again just repeat the same message so that people like get it and then keep people's reality very simple like that's part of the deal is just like you know don't complicate it and everything that's been done has been the opposite of that it's just been adding chaos to the mix well it, it's crazy. His defense, and you know when I say his, you know who I'm talking about. Word above. Yeah. Male God.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Far from it. His playbook of like, oh, I didn't want to panic everyone. Like that is, he grew up in a world where secrets were just how you interacted with people, how you approached
Starting point is 00:22:27 anything. So he was like, the assumption is, I'm the one who can handle this. Lie. Yeah, lie to them and then just kind of like figure it out later. Lie and figure it out. Figuring it out. Yeah. Once it's at a blazing flame that can't be controlled with this little squirt
Starting point is 00:22:44 ball I've got. Right. What's something you guys think is overrated? Cake. I don't like cake. People get really mad when I say that, but I don't like cake. Yeah. I'm furious. I like pie.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Over here. I like pie better than cake. And cake, if it gets ā€“ Oh, you too? Yeah. Yeah. Cake can ā€“ I understand that. Cake is like several desserts all piled on top of each other.
Starting point is 00:23:09 It's sort of like a gorging fest sometimes. A good-sized cake is nice, but fatty cakes? No way. That was my least controversial answer, but I do have some controversial ones, if I can say more than one. Yeah. Hit us. Let's hear it.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Hit it. With the controversy. Costco. Costco is overrated. ones if i can say more than one uh yeah let's hear it with the controversy costco costco is people get really really mad when i say i'm not interested in being a member of costco oh yeah i'm right there with you why you don't want to buy a fucking 70 paper towels you don't want six gallons of mayonnaise at a time i tried to write a sketch about it at key and peel and a couple people there got really, really angry. Really?
Starting point is 00:23:47 They got axed. And they were like, you can get 72 chicken breasts on a sleeve. I'm like, yeah. Well, why would I want that? Don't you buy six tires at a time? What's your problem? Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Is it just the idea that you're overs over supplying things that you don't actually need yeah i just i don't know why i would want my freezer full of 72 chicken breasts yeah i do like their uh snack bar i think that's oh yeah yeah oh yeah you got a little little uh chicken bake you know for the people but i think the only thing i like is just the kirkland version of stuff because it's cheaper that's like the one thing i like it's like yo this vodka kirkland vodka yeah i'm like louis anderson and fucking baskets where my whole house is just kirkland up but i love again i'm a the biggest kirkland cold brew coffee a fucking just advocate it's oh they're they're doing something in there i don't know what the fuck it is but that shit hits fucking harder yeah it is not good for you that yeah no it's like yeah we found us a bunch of old fen fen

I just don't trust it. I don't want to hear any of that either. I know. I mean, and I get really nervous when any, there's any media stories about it. I feel like it's just like, it's a million person jinx.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I don't know, in a weird way. Right, right, right. Like a bunch of people being like reading this like yeah you're right like the fact that they're all like well you know usa today says he's ahead by 10 and like that that's one jinx yeah millions 2016 the exact same thing happened yeah right yeah uh all right guys let's uh take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the polls and how good Biden's doing. We'll be right back.

But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI

Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.
Starting point is 00:28:51 It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120.
Starting point is 00:29:07 She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?
Starting point is 00:29:23 You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app,
Starting point is 00:29:43 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. the grand jury trial around the police who killed brianna taylor and it's basically what we suspected yeah yeah all that grand jury trial all this secrecy the you know they said they were declaring like a state of emergency with a day before they were going to announce their the actual findings of this grand jury trial and yeah all we got was one charge of wanton endangerment and that was for the shots that didn't hit brianna taylor those are for the shots that went into the other apartment or the other charged for not hit not shooting her basically yeah it's like whoa whoa whoa you missed a couple times and you could have killed an innocent person based on how we're defining innocent in this context so everyone was like what the fuck is going on and then eventually we started to hear little things like grand jurors were trying
Starting point is 00:30:49 to speak anonymously then we had someone who's just known anonymously as grand juror number one came out and essentially said that there were no homicide charges were even presented to them as a grand jury um and so the quote that came out from this juror says, quote, questions were asked about the additional charges, meaning like homicide and things like that, dealing with her death very specifically. And the grand jury was told there would be none because the prosecutors didn't feel they could make them stick. The grand jury didn't agree that certain actions were justified, nor did it decide the indictment should be the only charges in the Breonna Taylor case. So they were served up a platter of like, okay, what do you guys think of this? Wanted endangerment, right? And they're
Starting point is 00:31:30 like, well, what about her being killed? And there are reports of the police not announcing themselves and how all this confusion came about with this no-knock warrant. None of that. So now we're at a point where it seems like the truth is going to come out because a circuit court judge, Judge Annie O'Connell, has decided to release all of the relevant materials so people can actually get a clear look into what the fuck went on in this grand jury trial. But this is for the interest, as she put it, it is in the interest of the citizens of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to be assured that its publicly elected officials are being honest in their representations. That's. Wow. Yeah. Wait, so they're they're releasing it publicly.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Yeah, exactly. How would that affect an attempt to sort of. And this is where I know no legalese, but like a retrial or, you know, to try to bring it back, bring up on different charges, like try to sort of give this thing a new life. Once it's all public, does that affect it? Yeah. Is that possible? At the very least. Where do they find any jurors who don't know anything about this?
Starting point is 00:32:41 Like that's the other ā€“ that always goes through my head. It's like I don't trust the people who don't know what this case is. Right. You haven't heard of O.J. Simpson? I've been playing Among Us this whole time. Yeah, it hurts. I think the biggest thing is that it'll, at the very least, put a lot of pressure on Daniel Cameron
Starting point is 00:33:01 because we're going to see the words he's using to describe what's going on and how all of this was for show it was never about yeah actually uh getting justice for brianna taylor or just the whole how this entire thing was described to people was just an absolute just a it's just a mess and a and a a shame, especially with, you know, the groundswell, uh, in demands from the, you know, the public for justice.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah. And not even just like, like nationally and globally. Like, I mean, the fact that the reaction to this, uh, just to all the cases,
Starting point is 00:33:39 it's always amazing to me that they're like, well, guys calm down. You're, you're kind of overreacting to this one. It's like, this is a collective fucking thing that's going on here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Yeah. And I think that's kind of her, the, the judge's point, uh, is, is that like, this is a rare,
Starting point is 00:33:57 but extraordinary example, as she put it, like of a time when like there are historic reasons to, this is the time. Yeah. This is the time to to that there's no need for grand jury secrecy at this point because it's if the stakes are too high and you again she puts it very correctly the the people of the commonwealth of kentucky were out in full force to demand justice they were making very clear. And to have this like secret trial and he's like, whack ass charges come out. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:28 I think it's important for people to understand what happened. And I think it's only going to be upsetting, but you know, there's no hiding from this, especially when you have the attorney general who's making himself special prosecutor to just preserve, you know, the ability of the police to brutalize black and brown people.
Starting point is 00:34:43 So yeah, much needed. Yeah. It does feel like they're taking like such a 1960s playbook move on this where it's like well we'll just take it in the back room and handle it it'll be fine right that's how we've done it before and it'll work this time too yeah it really ishorn Leghorn, I think, was the name. Daniel Cameron, one thing I hadn't realized, was got a scholarship or some grant that is named after Mitch McConnell. He is a Mitch McConnell scholar at the University of Louisville Law School. It's fascinating to see.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I mean, that dude is so morally bankrupt. It's crazy. Yeah. Mitch McConnell? Both of them. He and Daniel bankrupt. It's crazy. Yeah. Mitch McConnell? Both of them. He and Daniel Cameron. Oh, both, yeah. I mean, Mitch McConnell is just blatantly evil. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:31 It's like not even like, oh, he's morally. Oh, no, he's. Yeah, he's just evil. He's turning into like a like a. He's like a bad guy. Like, yeah, evil. Yeah. All right. he's turning into a god guy like yeah evil yeah all right let's talk about what we're learning
Starting point is 00:35:47 about how the trump campaign has been spending its money because we we got some insight into that right yeah and i i i was as i was writing this i was like i just want to add the caveat that this story will only be fun if trump fucking loses because i feel like so many stories like that yeah the the media is really like in this like spiking the football phase of the election with two weeks out jinx in the shit yeah and i'm just like okay we got fucking don bb over here running to the end zone with the football out for all my old Buffalo Bills fans. Leon Lett. Leon Lett coming back. I feel like Leon Lett did that too, like twice.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Or was it, did Dom Beebe do it to Leon Lett? Was that what it was? He was the one who smacked it out? Oh, maybe that's what it was. Yeah, yeah. Either one, whatever. It was Mookie Blaylock, I think he was. It was exactly.
Starting point is 00:36:41 It was Mookie Blakelock. Yes. But yeah, like a lot of these stories have this feeling and like of gloating that seems like, yes, objectively, his campaign is completely mismanaged. But I'm seeing like more and more shows like, oh, he's screwed here. This part's fucked. He's losing support here. And it's I don't like the sort of like the air of confidence that it's putting out that this is a done deal. Because, again, to your point, Brian, about polling, Robert Cahaley, who's this guy who runs the Trafalgar Group, who was like the pollster who predicted in 2016 that Trump would win because he was talking about an invisible vote that most normal polls weren't able to account for.
Starting point is 00:37:26 weren't able to account for he was on hannity two nights ago because you know obviously because he's like the one guy saying trump can win so hannity needs that because trump is watching and i'm sure that makes him feel better and then he can go to sleep at night uh but anyway i just want to say it's just a bedtime story for trump yeah it's like and we've got this guy like oh let's so he can win he's like oh yeah trump is president number one he's like like, good, good, good. Just put that on a loop. Pillows are orange. So both campaigns had to file some FEC reports, Federal Election Committee reports, about all their financials to do with the campaign. And just going through these, you're seeing just a shitload of weird decisions and terrible decisions and who knows what's going on uh with these campaigns just to start off some just some bullet points going into the last two weeks of the campaign right trump has about 63 million dollars on hand biden has 177 million dollars on hand
Starting point is 00:38:17 green wave and trump started off with about a billion dollars going into this campaign like raising a billion dollars to go into this. There's apparently like it's a metaphor for his entire financial history. One hundred percent off with hundreds of millions, billions of dollars and just a small million dollar loan from daddy. Yeah. Uniquely bad at fucking keep hanging on to that money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:44 And true to form right he himself donald trump himself has only he's talked about if if we're low in the campaign funds i have no problem contributing to get us afloat this man has only contributed just over eight thousand dollars in this entire fucking re-election campaign and it's all the coins that he's been holding on did you see that clip of him in church about to give into the collection plate and he's like counting his 60 so tenderly i know i guess i guess i have to god that's the real scam damn it just go around to the plate i gotta throw 16 corner of this and get part of the diamond? So the other thing is there's like $350 million of spending that just has been going to these really vague LLCs.
Starting point is 00:39:38 This one group called American Made Media Consultants got around $319 million. And we have no fucking clue what it's for. It's just like an expenditure that says $319 million to American-made media consultants. That sounds vaguely like some kind of Russian made. I was just thinking that. American-made media consultants. What do you mean Russian? It's American made. It's like a
Starting point is 00:39:58 Simpsons band. I said American. Then $100,000 nearly spent on Donald Trump Jrr's book triggered because they had to get those pre-sales done to get it on the bestsellers list we're talking about nearly six figures spent on buying your son's fucking books there's 39 million dollars in legal compliance fees um like which is like his impeachment proceedings uh also like other shit for like like other aides
Starting point is 00:40:25 who were caught up in legal trouble. This is also, I think, including lawsuits to try and gum up like their voter suppression or to create more voter suppression. He paid a quarter of a million dollars to run an ad on game seven of the 2019 World Series because that came right after Trump was booed at game five so that right on the heels of that 1.6 million dollars on tv ads just in washington dc not because that's a competitive
Starting point is 00:40:55 place to vote but because that's where he fucking watches tv and that's the only way he'll be able to see his own fucking commercials. $100,000 to the Astros for garbage cans. Oh, my God. $2 million for the creation of a network that only plays his commercials to his TV. Right, right, right. Exactly. I mean, it's truly it's all just become so clear. And the other thing is that they want to that they point out is that his fundraising power is also dwindling pretty
Starting point is 00:41:27 rapidly. They said in between July and September. Okay. So let's check this fucking return on investment. They, the campaign had to spend $181 million to raise only $235 million through small contributions. Yeah. You guys spend money to make money. You got to, that's Yeah, you got to spend money to make money.
Starting point is 00:41:47 You got to ā€“ everybody knows you got to spend $77 cents to make a dollar. You have to spend other people's money to make money for yourself. This is before like they were doing way bigger numbers. They were doing way bigger numbers. And then the other thing they point out is people like Sheldon Adelson, who is a Nevada super huge conservative bank roller, just a fundraiser and just donor. People like him and other huge conservative donors are not giving money to the campaign anymore. They're giving it to Trump-supporting super PACs that have no connection to Trump world where the money is not being like those spend is not being determined by anyone in that orbit because none of the even mega donors trust the campaign with they like we don't know where this fucking money goes it vanishes into thin air he's
Starting point is 00:42:36 asking us for more and Trump at a rally was saying when they're he was I think he knows about how bad his fundraising is because he had to go to California over the weekend to try and make some money. He comes back, he's like, is George Clooney around to have a conversation with? Is Chris Pratt here? I got to talk to him. He said, I could be the king of fundraisers if I wanted to. I just don't because I don't want to owe them.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Uh-huh. Okay. Oh, my God. It's just, and again, it's only fun if he loses right yeah i mean this could be you know all these shadowy places that the money's going or like off the books ways that people are contributing to the campaign reminds me of this next story that we have which is in four states three swing states pennsylvania florida and arizona registered democrats are receiving emails threatening to like literally being like it'd be a shame if something happened
Starting point is 00:43:34 to you uh we know where you live like that that is the actual language uh from info at proudboys.com even though the proud boys say they're unaffiliated, basically being like, we know where you live. We know you're registered as a Democrat and we've gained access into the entire voting infrastructure. You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you. Change your party affiliation to Republican to let us know you received our message and will comply we will know which candidate you voted for i would take this seriously if i were you and then they share the voters address with them to be like we know where you are and then they also tell them that
Starting point is 00:44:16 their apple id has been compromised and to give them their password or else they will owe the irs three million it's like every scam imaginable rolled into one of those also i'm a proud boy and a nigerian prince with right of money i'm a barrister looking to put some money in an account in your country uh once the deposit has been made you will be entitled to 10 i mean wow the whole thing is truly for old people too to be like we know how to like that logic and we know how you're voting, too, because we know how to use computers. Right. We have robots that are watching you right now.
Starting point is 00:44:52 I know. I know. It's like getting those phone calls from the, this is the Social Security Commission. Yes. There's that whole, like, rash of that thing. Wait, is that not true? Are those calls not? You fell for it?
Starting point is 00:45:05 thing uh wait is that not true are those calls not you fell for it if it's from the commission it's not true but it was from the bureau social security bureau it's tricky it's tricky man that one is real it's it's so transparent and evil like just hollywood bad guy behavior like like that you would see in a shitty movie like from the 80s not even like a modern movie uh that you would see in a shitty movie, like from the eighties, not even like a modern movie, uh, that you almost like, it almost seems like this would be set up by his opponent to make him look bad. But that's like, that's just not how voter suppression works.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Like these emails will actually have an effect on some people. We don't know like how many people this went out to but you know do you think some people who believed it were like i voted early is there any way i can correct this so you can beat me up right like how can i how can i make this right with you proudboys.info yeah i mean when voter suppression and like voter influencing like things like this tend to be just like very straightforward it's not it's not like uh jujitsu where you're like pretending one thing and doing the other it's like we you know you act like you're winning so people think they're on the winning side and then they vote for you and you uh physically intimidate them to get them to not
Starting point is 00:46:22 vote uh right it's i mean we're just regressing to like the fucking like tammany hall and like the right like fucking gangs in new york shit where it's like dude we'll cut your fingers off if you don't go or like go to the bar round up all the drunks and give them money for drinks if they go vote like that's where like it's very it's like the 2020 version of that shit yeah yeah and the weird thing is like it's it is it is that old that disgusting old school politics approach but it's also got such a dystopian like i just anything all these like little dystopian things these little microaggressions every day of getting of like dystopia dystopia because like like hearing that kind of thing while you're looking out the window
Starting point is 00:47:05 at a bunch of people with masks on and on the radio you know there's a thing about climate change it just at times i'm like what the what is going on why is it all happening at once but it like if you took a step back and just you know clean slate we're like okay you have a openly corrupt uh gangster who's the president yeah who is not trying to hide any of the corruption because he got impeached and got away with it like you this is kind of what you would expect is like like this shouldn't be surprising at all it's just like blatant like strong arm uh straightforward corruption like this is what happens in other countries that don't have you know that that are more uh corrupt that aren't democracies um but the thing is so gross is like how we're so we consider ourselves morally yeah superior you know yeah and that we we have this like meritocracy of just sort of like ā€“ not even that, not that.
Starting point is 00:48:06 It's like it's sort of ā€“ yeah, our individual ā€“ we are different from the rest of the world. We have a higher standard. But just saying those words were blindly allowing all this aggression, all this like criminal activity to happen under the guise of like, no, no, no, we're fighting for freedoms. No, no, no. I mean I for freedoms. No, no, no. I mean, I think in the end, it's all, it's always been part of the American ethos. Like, you know, Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed, like that's from the 1860s. Like that's never, that never left. People just got smarter and always learned how to do it better, how to always get one over.
Starting point is 00:48:41 So you are reaping all the benefits possible. And it just sort of, it just morphed over time and i think like modern media i think played the biggest role and us all pretending like this wasn't just a shit show the entire time because it's always like we have these like smiley images of what it means to be american and very few examples of mass media that's like embracing the the true reality of of what this country is like. So, yeah. Well, just his argument of just like, I don't like you bad-mouthing America. I don't like this revisionist history.
Starting point is 00:49:12 He's like, we started off using people, you know? Right. Like we started ā€“ Right. And so we're ā€“ Oh, slavery is bad now. We genocided one population and then brought slaves over. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:26 America's fucked up. I mean, you know, I love it it but it's fucked up yeah yeah this does feel like it's almost a click worse than people are used to confronting or just the trump administration like the sorts of corruption that they're using here and planning on using on election day by like infiltrating local you know election councils with like lawyers and just preparing to rat fuck the election i feel like it's like a a click worse than miles like you were saying the the mainstream media is worse or is used to even conceiving of and so it's like there there are certain ways that i feel like we're uniquely ill-suited to what's going to happen on election day um and things like this that are just like we're we're not used to it because it is even like it's just more transparent than yeah
Starting point is 00:50:20 well that's the the double-edged sword of what the stability and certain privileges people experience in this country is. It's only a minority of people who actually understand what's at risk constantly. And for most people, if you're in a certain socioeconomic whatever category, every four years, it's just kind of like, oh, yeah, someone's a president, but my paychecks still come in. I have, my neighbors are fine or whatever. And because of that, most people just don't have the imagination to understand that how, how awful this country could actually be to you. The crazy thing is like, I really thought, cause I had that, I had experienced that with pandemic of where I, I was like, oh shit, I am for probably for the first time in my life like experiencing genuine fear like genuine fear about the stability of what i think my life is or what i think i i not that i deserve but it's like what my understanding of the bubble is you know i mean and and then i was like oh well i hope collectively this wakes everybody up is like oh no we are all we are all susceptible and and and when when all the kind of chips fall
Starting point is 00:51:33 and stuff and and all these like you know the hierarchies and stuff collapse or whatever you're faced with just like uh people trying to get through it but But it doesn't wake people up. They just lean. Fear will make you either realize something or lean so much harder into in this period during the pandemic, because it offers people a very easy explanation about what's happening that isn't the president has completely fucked up in this pandemic and it's costing hundreds of thousands of lives and destroying the economy or that there's such thing as systemic racism. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:19 QAnon has ways to explain all of those things away. So if you just need to feel comfortable, you can say, it's not that this country is racist because I don't want to for a second believe that because that's awful. I'll blame a Jewish guy named George Soros. And that tracks in my mind. Or it's these pedophiles that are against Donald Trump. Yeah, that's why I have a pizza shop. Yeah. Out of a Wayfair catalog.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And that's why I can't go to Supercuts. yeah out of a wayfair catalog and that's why i can't go to super cuts it's like holy shit please just take a second because the actual results will be much better if we can you know with clear eyes diagnose the problems and then go forward like that but it's the diagnosis is too real for some people to actually embrace admitting you're wrong is seems to be the fucking hardest thing for americans to do yeah like admitting any judgment any mistake in uh judgment or yeah just saying i was wrong is seems to be uh antithetical to sort of like our messaging because because we're never wrong because we're american right there's no i mean that's the thing you're not mentioning where we are never wrong so yeah i mean that's that's the catch that's important to keep in mind uh and costco is great by the way
Starting point is 00:53:31 uh let's take a quick break and we will be right back hey i'm bruce bozzi On my podcast, Table for Two, we have unforgettable lunch after unforgettable lunch with the best guest you could possibly ask for.

Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists, but the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
Starting point is 00:56:00 And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:56:54 BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.
Starting point is 00:57:07 That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

Starting point is 00:57:32 app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and i want to talk to you guys about phil collins personally uh professionally on this show we typically don't cover much celebrity gossip or public divorces uh or phil collins phil collins we rarely cover uh well we're more peter gabriel fans here right yeah i mean we do have the gabriel block uh that we usually do every friday but um he would actually be a good good good guest for a ball talk charlie just just a side note guys if we could just like uh depending on how yeah i don't know where he'll be after this situation but maybe he would yeah yeah if he's available, we'd love to have him on. I think he is. It's one of those stories that even in 2020, it's like, God, I wish I had more bandwidth to devote to just following this story as it develops.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Simpler times. This would be a glorious story. Oh, my God. So a headline from Vanity Fair. Phil Collins is now suing his ex-wife over quote, an armed occupation and takeover of his mansion. Is that real? That's real.
Starting point is 00:58:55 So if you haven't been up to date on Phil Collins' romantic history, he married Oriane Seve back in 94 when she was 21. He was 44. There you go. There you go. Nice. No problems there. I can feel it coming
Starting point is 00:59:17 in the air. Is that Phil Collins? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Nailed it. They got married in 99 they divorced in 2006 but then they got back together in 2016 and then in 2020 uh yeah when she when she had grown up a little more uh in 2020 she went to las vegas and married a younger man and informed phil of this in the form of a text message which is harsh yes yeah maybe karma at work since collins uh was famously marry a man younger than her because
Starting point is 00:59:56 that would be disgusting yes 15 years her junior so he was 15 how old was he? Well, no. So she's now, I think, in her 40s, right? So she was 21 in 1994. Gotcha. So she's like 43, marrying a guy in his 20s in Vegas. Let's Phil know via text, Phil was famously rumored to have broken up with his second wife via fax machine uh so there's a couple ways that karma may be uh like rearing its ugly head here and is it like handwritten too like oy divorce yeah like us phil uh i i don't know much about the again like this is this has always been a blind spot miles we've
Starting point is 01:00:50 talked about this uh when we were thinking about doing a news podcast was like i am notoriously blind to phil collins's romantic history uh and so yeah it's just just I haven't done the work. But what of this coup? I didn't take classes in college. What of this armed takeover, Jack? All right, so now his ex-wife, Sivi, is living in Phil Collins' Florida mansion with her new husband,
Starting point is 01:01:19 and Phil Collins is trying to get rid of them. So it sounds like kind of a straightforward like squatter scenario where like someone's trying to kick somebody out of their house. But that's easier said than done, because according to Collins, Savi and her husband have implemented a bold plan to seize control of the house using heavily armed guards. guards. So she has hired a team of armed security guards who now patrol his house.
Starting point is 01:01:50 It should be noted all the security team are 15 years younger than her husband. They are children. That is important to keep in mind. A bunch of zoomers on razor scooters. She also had the alarm system changed so that Phil Collins didn't know the code.
Starting point is 01:02:10 And there's a detail in the suit that is pretty incredible. So she contacted the company that provides the alarm service to the property, told the owner to come to the property. the owner to come to the property uh and then her her husband and one of the armed guards basically like forced him coerced him to do like lock phil collins out of the home uh and they're like you can see the details of this coercion uh attached in exhibit 10 so it's yeah like they're she had a guard with a gun on their hip change the code so phil wouldn't know that's not intimidating excuse me sir please go with this armed guard named frank yeah i love how i love how in the affidavit it's f-r-a-n-c-k so fancy maybe he's german yeah i mean i will change the codes speaking of german it does feel like there are definitely like some diehard vibes going here where they've like taken over oh yeah this is like war of the Roses turns into Die Hard. It's insane.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Taping over the security camera lenses, too. Yeah, they've taped over the security lenses. It's so wild. I feel like it was just like one night they got drunk. They're like, let's just stay here. You know, it started like good whimsical fun, and it just got out of hand. And now they're dug in. Yeah, like her new husband's like, It started as good, whimsical fun, and it just got out of hand. And now they're dug in.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Yeah, like her new husband's like, babe, where are we going to go? I thought you had money. She's like, oh, fuck off, fuck off. Let's go to Phil's house. Yeah. Hopefully, Frank is working. I'll get my ecstasy dealer to come with his gun, and he'll make the alarm company people change it at gunpoint.
Starting point is 01:04:05 The only thing Phil Collins has been doing is just like faxing like crazy not realizing they don't have a fax machine get out my house back get out just in my drums are in back please there's a fax machine with just like a three foot pile of paper at the bottom in his like media closet that also has like a cassette a cassette player and like a cd uh all right well i feel a little bad for him but not really it just yeah people create insane chaos for themselves like they're because they have a messy divorce like what is the what are the demands of these the the people who uh set off this coup d'etat? Yeah, so she's threatening to release damaging allegations, which he claims are false,
Starting point is 01:04:50 if he doesn't basically just let them stay and pay up. Are there kids involved? I really need to know as a parent. Are there kids involved? Is this Lily's mom? I don't know. No, I don't think so. I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:05:04 I think that Lily's mom might have been the one who. They did have two. They had two kids together. Oh, they did? Yeah. So I'll answer my own question. Yes, Brian, there are kids involved. Really?
Starting point is 01:05:17 Oh, my God. That's so troubling. Well, yeah. I mean, strong parental force is important. How do you even go to therapy for that when you're like in your 30s? When you're like, so what was your childhood like? And you're like. Well, funny you ask.
Starting point is 01:05:31 You remember the Phil Collins armed guard takeover? There is that rite of passage that every kid goes through where your mom takes armed control of the house. And you're just looking at your parents like, what's going on? Right. And that's when I knew i wasn't gonna get married ever right not if that's how it ends yeah well let's all let's keep them in our prayers guys yeah seriously really really and hopefully have them on bald talk so he can work through some of this yeah oh my god if we could bring that's the venue if we could get phil collins to come on
