Donovan, out here. One of those people who I never heard about growing up. But he's got some bangers. Mellow Yellow, season of the witch, of the witch. Well, I am thrilled to be joined, as always, speaking of witches, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! Miles Gray, aka It's not cold in California. The climate's mild growing up next to Beverly Hills. I was jealous of the Wu-Tang. I grew up dreaming about Timbs and Parkas.

Wanted weather and fall and hoodies galore. But California, the weather's too tame. Okay. Shout out, Chrissy. I'm a Gucci man on the Discord and Twitter, whatever you heard. I like that Gatlin Brothers song, All the Gold in California. It was a light entry point into some country music. And then you made the AKA really align with my West Coast love of the East Coast and my desire to just wear bubble jackets and smoke punts in the stairwell.

Thank you. Thank you, Christy. We appreciate it. Beautifully done, both of you. Miles. Thank you. We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny pop culture expert. One of our favorite first-time guests back for the second time.

One of your favorite first-time guests. Also a restaurant expert, a restaurant food critic. Yes. Apparently a s'mores expert who hosts the show Black People Love Paramore. It's Sequoia Holmes!'m still having me back such a warm so good to have you so good to have you i was just saying off mic before i was like i love your drake based restaurant reviews where you take a drake lyric and then you hunt down like the restaurant and dish or you know you try to have the meal comparable and and i'm like i said for people who are like you know there's a lot of hype restaurants that

get dropped in these drake tracks let's sequoia do the exploring for you so you don't have to take a potential expensive l at a nice restaurant so i'll take you yeah thank you thank you do you tuck your napkin when you're eating there do you tuck your napkin in your shirt because you're mopping like that i really do consider tucking my napkin my shirt because i'm just mopping like that my boyfriend said it was ghetto so i was like oh okay i guess i won't you know you know you go to those steakhouses that have like the button slit in the napkin for like for you to put it that's when i was like oh okay that's when i was like there's there are levels even the napkins. Yeah, absolutely.

And I was like, damn, I'm up in here with a t-shirt. Next time, maybe I'll have a little bit of a button I can attach the napkin to. You got to get a button off next time. Yeah. So what kind of, it's only Drake-based restaurants? It's just Drake-based thus far. But take Lyric, go to the restaurant that Drake name drops, and rate his taste. So far, he has decent taste, you know.

But I don't expand. Other rappers also do restaurant stuff. Yeah, exactly. Like Ghostface will say a lot of food rhymes, but they're really not attached in a coherent way to a restaurant because it'll be like Linguini off the boot sole, and you're like, huh? Off the what?

Where's that? No, thank you. I'm good. I'm good on that. You mentioned the cheesecake factory one of i think the greatest thing american culture has has yet created is the cheesecake factory what do you put hip-hop you go cheesecake factory jazz hip-hop jazz hip-hop cheesecake factory top You go Cheesecake Factory, Jazz, Hip Hop, Barbecue. Jazz, Hip Hop, Cheesecake Factory, top tier. There's tiers, as we already said. Oh, so Jazz, Hip Hop, Cheesecake Factory are in that top tier.

Yes. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I think those are the first three things. I'm pretty sure Ken Burns has a documentary that he's working on. Ken Burns' Cheesecake Factory. Yeah, the Ken Burns Burns Cheesecake Factory documentary. But that's where I wanted to go for my birthday.

I recently had a birthday. Wanted to go there, but it didn't work out because we were also seeing Oppenheimer. So I went to a local place, the California Pizza Kitchen. Oh, yeah. That Californians, LA people will know all all about that it's a little local haunt nowhere else man we had one of the best dining experiences i i can remember it was so good

wait what about rs what about cpk rh cpk what happened what what'd you oh it was i just said What did you eat? I just had my standard Thai peanut chicken. Thai chicken peanuts pizza. They also have like a bacon avocado egg roll that is so good. They have one at Cheesecake Factory too. I'm sure it's like copied. I think Chili's also has one that's very similar.

They call them like Southwest egg rolls or something. It's usually what you see and you're like fine, let's finally mash up. They kept the Diets or something. It's usually what you see and you're like, fine. Let's finally mash up. They kept the Diet Cokes coming. It was just... Underrated. Chain restaurants. Truly. Some of them are underrated.

I don't know if Sheikah is one of them. What's your favorite chain restaurant? I'm a BJ's girlie. I love a Pazooki. I've never been to BJ's. You've never been to BJ's? You sounded like when I love a pizookie I've never been to BJ's You've never been to BJ's? You sounded like when Her Majesty told me she never saw City of God

Or Kill Bill You've never seen City of God? You've never been to BJ's and never had pizookie? You gotta get a pizookie It's anything for the pizookie If you want to have a perfect Burbank day Spend some time at Ikea Get a lunch at Ikea

And maybe catch a movie If Ikea and then, and maybe catch a movie. If you'd look, if you're feeling spicy, hit the islands. If you're, but if not go to BJ's where the good times are rolling. I was speaking to my childhood. That was exactly what it was like. Where'd you grow up Sequoia? I know you're from LA. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you know, you got to have those balance of things those are like the the go to chain places for me for sure that's it islands forever islands forever that is one that i know i don't think it's that national island i don't think it's that national either you gotta get the little california islands get the shake yeah exactly the yaki the chicken tacos is what i always usually get not the burger not a big burger guy when I go there. You know, I do. Me neither.

No, no. Exactly. Got to have those. Got to have those. Got to have cheese fries. Got to have my grilled chicken tacos. But I take the pineapple out. Anyway, that's my order.

And there you go. They think they're a burger spot, but they're like that. That's not what people actually go there for. I've never heard anyone be like, you got to have the burger at Islands. But there's like a number of items that people really swear by. They have some mixed drink that is supposed to be really good there.

Their drinks are really good overall. And those non-stop surf videos on loop. What's that? Ignore me. I just said and those non-stop 90s surf videos they just have on loop by the bar. This shit is old as fuck. But yeah, go ahead. Put all right sequoia we are gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a little bit of the news that we might

be getting to a little bit later on trump rico he's he's certainly giving us the the squirmy discomforts that suggest that something something big might be coming down. Oh, yeah. We mentioned on a trending episode on Tuesday that there was something up for vote in Ohio. That was basically a transparently craven attempt by the Ohio Republicans to subvert Democratic norms in favor of, you know, controlling bodies and reproductive rights. And it failed spectacularly. Wow. They are having a time, aren't they?

Yeah. Yeah. So, well, they're 0 for 7 on these statewide attempts to fuck with people's access to health care. May it last. Yeah. Love it. We're going to be talking about the doc brawl folks folks yeah long may it last lift every voice and swing and scream sing fight whatever yeah it's never ends and now there's like more a little more texture to it now that there's like more police reports coming out too yeah yeah uh all of that plenty more but first of all we do like to ask our guests Now there's like more, a little more texture to it. Now that there's like more police reports coming out too. Yeah. Yeah.

All of that, plenty more. But first, Sequoia, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Okay. Something from my search history that is a mainstay in my search history that I love. I use this meme often and it remains. I use this meme often and it remains. There's Dr. Umar meme or video where he is giving some presentation in front of a group. I don't even know the context.

But at the end of it, he's talking about how he's not going to be able to therapize every troubled young black man on the corner. And he says, some of them go have to go to sleep for good. And literally every single time my friends say something stupid or they hate somebody or something, I dropped that in. So it's a mainstay in my search history. I have to always do that. Is that,

that's the one where he's like pointing, like on stage. He has a pointer. He's making a a presentation he has a deck up right it's so funny the man is so funny dr umar yeah the man who keeps giving i mean i wonder i feel like really the whole laser eyes shit really kicked off with umar too like the dr umar giving laser eyes right or like at least the beginning when he there's like him at the breakfast club with a koofy on and his like eyes are like yeah and that's where we got through like uh-oh like cyclops hotep detected like laser blast incoming yeah he always says some foolishness but he he's funny while saying often Thank you. Often takes a little time. Oh, man. Amazing.

What is something you think is overrated? Did I say Taylor Swift last time? It's extra relevant now, if not. You may have. Or no, I think you had something. It was kind of interesting. It was probably cheese or cereal. I think it was.

Oh, no, it was the way you eat cereal, I think. Yes, the way that you eat cereal was the thing. Okay, but go on. Are you milk first, then cereal? I am a milk first. That's the conclusion we came to. It's definitely Taylor Swift. That's overrated.

It's Taylor Swift, yeah. I went to the Ares tour two nights ago. You did? You're speaking to the opposite of the choir right now. Wow, did you take it aback? Were you enamored? No, somebody who, by pure coincidence, was invited at the zero hour and he was kind of like yeah all right so i was there as like a an alien dropped into a very strange human ritual that

like when zach galifianakis was on the ellen show have you seen that clip have you seen that clip sequoia oh my god hold on I gotta there's a clip of Zach Galifianakis at the Ellen show and he like in the middle of it the DJ is playing Family Affair by you know Mary J and like the whole crowd starts going and he's

confused as fuck hold on I'm sorry to just to do this to you Jack I know you were on a roll but where is it they're like hey I'm sorry to just to do this to you, Jack. I know you were on a roll, but where is it? They're like, hey, so just keep the energy up in the club. They got all these like white women dancing in the crowd. And then look at Zach Galifianakis.

Wait, why is he there? Why is he there in the crowd? Why is he in the crowd? What are you saying? I thought he was on. But that was probably what some people were saying about me being at the Taylor Swift concert. Why is he there? What is this man doing?

Oh, we're clapping now? Clapping? Yeah, yeah. Looking around, trying to clap when the other people clapped. Yeah, yeah, looking around, trying to clap when the other people clapped. One time, there was a video before Taylor came on, where it was, I think, a music video with Haim and her and an actress. And I said, is that Laura Dern? And the 14-year-old girl in front of me turned to look at me like i had just said the dumbest shit that any

any human being had ever said and didn't didn't try and hide it was just like just like like broke their neck looking back yeah what the yeah fuck did this yeah motherfucker wait so who was in the video i still haven't looked it up let me look look it up while you explain why Taylor Swift is overrated. Yeah, yeah. Go off the cliff. I mean, I really don't want to yuck anybody's yo. I really don't. I'm happy for y'all. Y'all love Taylor.

That's good for you. The overhyped mediocrity of this woman is egregious, astounding, over the top. I've never seen somebody be so fucking mediocre and garner such a fan base. You know what that means? That mediocrity is sought after. People want to be able to be mediocre and Taylor Swift lets them be mediocre. You know? Kind of people. Makes it okay. It's like, yeah, yeah.

You're fine. I don't want that, though. Out of my star, I don't want that. I don't want mediocre. I don't want fine. You want a deity. You want, they're like, I could only dream to reach half the heights that this person has got to. Because otherwise, what are you doing here? I can do it. Move.

It feels like a lateral kind of idol. It can't be lateral. No, it's got to be vertical. It's got to be vertical. It has to be vertical. I have to be reaching. I have to be reaching. Yes.

Naturally, I'm going to see Beyonce. So that's where. Right, right, right. Yeah. Now, what will that stadium be doing? I wonder, will we get seismic activity? You know, I hope so. I plan to bring seismic activity myself.

Are you going to the show at SoFi? Uh-huh. Okay. The birthday show? No, she dropped the birthday date after she dropped the initial dates for September for LA. Right, right. And so I was like, oh, I'm going to go to the September 1st show because that's close to her birthday. And then she dropped the birthday date.

I was like, how dare you? I was really mad at her for that. It's fine. It's fine. Hey, she's a capitalist. She knew. She's like, wait, hold on. I know how to really add a date and get some fucking numbers up.

What's this? My birthday? You know how that goes. You know. You know. Yeah, yeah. I have heard now but by the way so i had i had this theory because everything taylor swift does seems like so like pre-conceived and

like rehearsed like there there's just this like strange like ai like smoothness to everything she does yeah and there was a moment where her in her in-ear monitor came loose and she fixed it in the same way like she was like wait there's a little problem with my but she just like did it real calmly and i was wondering if that had been rehearsed i've now spoken to two people who have been to the area show and it was not a part of the show that they saw. One of them said they were on a ton of mushrooms. And so maybe they missed it. It could have happened, but they're like,

Oh yeah. Well, she took her ear off in the middle. Yeah. I remember that. I remember that. Yeah. Freaky.

That suggests that she is just always that like kind of composed and composed in not just like the cool under pressure way but like a composition that is like pre-planned. People know when things go wrong because I see Swifties post on Twitter when they're like oh look at how she ended this show. She said something

to the back like and they get lip readers on it and they're like that wasn't our best performance tonight and they're like that's what she just said at the end of the show but whatever whatever, you know, she made her. What was it they said? The six shows generated like something like over 320 million dollars in economic activity in the city. So, yeah, like 400,000 hours of people stuck in traffic. They said it was like six Super Bowls on consecutive nights.

Like people were flying in for it and shit. Like LAX was just backed up. consecutive nights like people were flying in for it and shit like lax was just backed up like it was just nobody's prepared for that number of people to come to any anywhere for anything yeah it was pretty crazy what is something sequoia you think is underrated i have a couple options here and i'm struggling to choose ones i'm probably gonna do multiples i'm probably gonna tell you too okay pink voice the singer pink oh her vocal ability severely underrated especially when she was making more poppy music severely underrated if she had decided to stay with pop music the rest of the pop girl is capacita she was gonna take it over so that's the first one powerhouse did you see that clip of how she like launches into the fucking stands like the the stunt the wire work oh she as a live performer is someone that i am now like

i want to see that shit and her answer when they so this is something we talked about our previous episode but if if listeners weren't like she does wire work where it's if you've ever seen like those bungee rides where somebody like goes flying you know you basically get slingshotted out she does that at every concert like through the stadium but it's actually it's like that but faster and she's doing like acrobatics acrobatics as she does it and people are like yeah like a lot of most of your show now is just you like kind of flipping around on wires and stuff and that that wasn't really something that we had come in expecting. Why do you do that?

And she was just like, wouldn't you? Like, that shit is fun as hell. That is so fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I love her for that. She's also so unapologetic about everything. And I stand.

I love her attitude. I just like Pink a lot. And her voice is underrated. Another thing that's wait for a while did people think that pink was black yes she was black yes wasn't there like a moment like yo is she black yeah yeah people were like i don't know that voice maybe and then it was like unequivocal it's like no she's she is white and we're like oh okay well you know what i still fuck i still fuck with you pink yeah i stay in a vaccine queen you know who's because i remember that too when she was like i don't give a fuck get your goddamn

vaccines you fucking weirdos certainly yeah absolutely yeah black pink has always been you know she's been we claim the original black pink yeah the original k-pop yeah on the other side of the spectrum i don't know if y'all watch the idol i know the hype around it is over i know we're over the idol at this point but that fucking song world class center flash i'm a freak that first song from the idol did y'all watch it we didn't know I didn't watch it. The idol was at HBO show with The Weeknd and Lily Rose. We were aware of it. And how much of a mess it was.

She has this song, the song though, the initial song, it's so fucking good. It is a pop anthem. Really? I need y'all to hear it. World Class Center? I'm going to play it right now. Obviously, we're not going to be able to play it on the show.

We respect Sequoia's taste so we'll be back one second oh yeah this is like this is like early weekend like right after house of balloons vibes and let me tell you something if there's one thing about me i'm gonna listen to early weekend and right after vibes yes i know he had to do the reference track for that that had to be his oh yeah that felt that felt so abel tesfay right there i felt that yeah coursing through that kind of to that point it actually i feel like it's weird you listen to it you kind of get nostalgic for the old weekend yeah i think that's what i just connected to especially when the lyrics are so like it's underrated yeah that was really good yeah yeah that's lily rose yeah she had to do on that one she came through just a freak okay yeah

are there i i heard her performance is pretty good in the show like there are moments you know what her performance is really good she's really an actress. I think she's a really good actress. Now, did I believe her as a pop star, a global pop sensation? Not as much. But when it came to her playing the emotional parts and shifting between, I don't want to give away too much. But yeah, she's a good actress for sure. Okay. Also, you may give away too much because I don't think I'm ever going to watch it. But maybe our listeners will.

Maybe our listeners are still holding out. If the morbid fascination is still holding up, for sure. Hop in. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we'll talk about some news. It was December 2019 when the story blew up.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved.

You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked voila you got straight away i felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts i'm dr laurie santos host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics,

and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and I'm obsessed with sports, especially tennis. On the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcast, I get the chance to do what I love, talk about how tennis and other women's sports are growing and changing, and what the future holds. I think I just genuinely loved what I did. I love this waking up, putting on my sports gear. I still believe it was so rewarding. Maybe you can relate to it as well. As a woman, I think it's a very powerful feeling to have a job at which you're able to see improvements in real time. On the show, we dissect everything going on in the game

straight from the biggest players in the world. Plus, serve up recaps of all the matches and headlines in the game, including a rundown of the US Open every Monday. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcast every Monday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. And we're back. And I don't know, the Trump thing continues to seem chaotic. Oh, yeah.

Look, we have a rule here. we've made about donald trump over the years which is when he starts going fully off the rails with his social media posts you know something is coming something he knows something so he has to do his pre you know pre-justice freakouts uh to try and get people to understand the jeopardy he's in so this time he is saying actual nonsense out loud about fulton county da fonny willis so you know so you just fucking know like you can just hear him what he's saying these rico charges i think are about to hit let's just hear him just meander uh at a reality he had in windham new hampshire they waited and i have another one. They say there's a young woman. He says another one.

He's talking about another indictment. He's like, I probably got another one. Right. A young racist in Atlanta. A young racist. Oh. And they say, I guess they say that she was after a certain gang and she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang or a gang member.

And this is a person that wants to indict me. She's got a lot of problems, but she wants to indict me to try and run for some other office. What's going on in this country is, by the way, wants to indict me for a perfect phone call. This was even better than my perfect call with Ukraine. All right. So we heard enough.

We heard enough out of you. So, yes, he is. They say who says that she had an affair with somebody she was representing. So the whole thing is right there. What he's referencing is this case that in 2019 she was representing a member of YSL Records, Young Stoner Life, which is the right now there's a huge case going on with Young Thug and that whole thing. And so basically Fonny Willis had represented one of the members of YSL in an aggravated assault case in 2019. That person that she represented had said how nice she was when he was her client. And he's like, yeah, she's great. She had this auntie nephew energy with me. So the reason that quote came out is because he couldn't believe that now they were pursuing these charges against YSL when he had such a good experience with her as her lawyer.

And he's like, that's why I know something's up, because she was so nice to me. So right wing media and Donald Trump just took that quote out of context that he was like, she was very kind to me to be read as they were fucking or they were having some kind of relationship that wasn't there because as we all know uh especially for conservatives they they want nothing more than to just jump down a black woman's throat for anything so in this instance this was like just fucking just straight up nonsense they're like what are you fucking talking about like this doesn't even't even make sense. She had no relationship aside from a professional one. So, you know, it's a stretch. So miss us all with that bullshit. So then comes this post on Kirkland Signature Twitter, or I'm sorry, Kirkland Signature X, aka Truth Social. He said,

the Obama appointed judge in the free speech indictment of me by my political opponent, crooked Joe Biden's Department of Injustice, shared professional ties at the law firm that worked for Energy Burisma, based in Ukraine, of which Hunter Biden and his associate were proud members of the board and were paid millions of dollars, even though Hunter knew almost nothing about energy. How much was the law firm paid? So horrible. this is a classic conflict of interest gateway pundit the last part in quotes all caps he just writes the word gateway pundit and we don't everyone's like huh wait that's a that's a website right that's a it's an outlet like it's a news outlet for is he like suggesting that that was a quote

from them? What he just went on? Nobody fucking knows. What the fuck is Gateway Pundit? Why are you signing off Gateway Pundit in quotes, too? Yours truly, Gateway Pundit. Thank you very much.

Daily Beast and The Dredge Report. Thank you. Thank you so much. What the fuck are Dredge Report. Thank you. Thank you so much. What the fuck are you talking about, man? So you know already, everybody's saying it's going to probably happen, if it's not the end of this week, it's probably this next week that we'll see charges from,

you know, that case, which was not a perfect phone call, asshole. You literally leaned on that fucking guy, Brad Raffensperger, and you said, oh man, I need you to find me 12 000 or whatever me yeah find me the 13 000 votes i need to win that's like what is he talking about yeah he'd just be saying shit he'd just be saying shit he's trying to get he's trying to get social media clout that's what it feels like the whole time feels like the whole presidency was trying to

get social media clout all of it and now the the real irony is he his whole thing really he's only running to try and avoid jail time for this other shit definitely like a perfect version of his his administration ending would have been if he faced no real legal jeopardy and then he could have just like grifted off his name like off into the sunset he would have loved that but the fact is he did so much shit in office that is exposing him to all this legal jeopardy that now his only option is to run for office to try and just be like, well, what the fuck are you going to do, man? Put the president in jail. And I mean, we'll find out in four years unless you die. Right.

Exactly. And the irony, too, is that, like, if you remember, he announced in November of 2022, which is not everyone was like, this mother he's really going for it because in his mind he thought that would set the tone in front of the the world to be like look what they're doing because i'm running for president they did this shit to me but we come to find out the jack smith like special counsel that was announced like three days after he announced his run for president so like on on msnbc they're kind of showing that like if he had actually announced in june and we and we're you know we're going by the logic that the doj wouldn't have initiated an investigation unless he announced his candidacy that they this like all these

indictments would probably be falling like in the middle of the primary calendar and in the middle of the election run which would have maybe worked in his favor a little bit more because he could actually say like, I'm like, what the fuck is this? But here we are, August, and they're getting your ass. They really don't look good, man. They say, I recognize that what I suggest is a bold, controversial strategy and that there are many reasons

why it might not end up being executed on January 6th, but as long as it is one possible option to preserve it as a possibility it is important that the trump pence electors cast their electoral votes on december 14th so like this this is all part of their strategy to just like not not certify the election yeah yeah and they're on wax. Yeah. Well, again, like I said, I know we all we see all these indictments, but until we see like some actual consequences, like if they're saying, well, we find him guilty, let's move to sentencing. I'm just waiting to see how invincible white wealthy privilege actually is. That's really what this is going to boil down to. And then because if nothing moves, then I'll be like, yeah, dude, I mean, I fucking knew that.

You know, like a lot of people cynically would have said, yeah, I could tell nothing would happen. But with some of these charges, like even with this stuff, with him talking out loud and judging like, hey, if you fucking don't listen to it, like I may have to suggest detaining you. But when I hear things like, I may, that to me is some shit. When Donald Trump hears, I may, he's like, that means I can do whatever the fuck I want. Definitely. Because you're not about to draw the line, not with me.

And that's the thing that scares me, is that he has the, you're not going to fucking do that shit with me. And so far, we're seeing a lot of accommodations being made for him. So until I see him come back to court with his hair all fucked up because he can't be doing that comb over and fucking sell Block B, you know what I mean? Then I'll be like, oh shit, wow.

Welcome to the fucking fucked up carceral system of the United States, oh, shit. Wow. Yeah. Welcome to the fucking fucked up and carceral system of the United States of America, sir. Yeah. The follow up supposed to be tomorrow on that. Right. With regards to like his just constantly saying the wildest shit that everybody's like telling him not to say in the middle of this.

Yeah, absolutely. So we'll see. We'll see. We'll stay tuned. Bated breath. And then we wanted to update you guys on the Tuesday election for where basically the Ohio Republicans were trying to change the way that voter referendums work, right? Not every state has this, but places like California, voters can propose some kind of change to the law that we all then vote for, like ballot propositions.

And this one specifically was to address the, basically to head off the movement of people who are wanting to change the fucked up anti-choice laws on their books in the state of ohio because in november there is a referendum that the people can vote on that would enshrine reproductive rights into law by amending the state's constitution with a simple majority so if that shit gets 50% plus one, boom. State constitution has changed. Reproductive rights are there. You can't fuck with it unless you're trying to amend it again, and that's a whole other process. So these fucking-

The Ohio Republicans spent like $20 million on this, I think. Oh, millions. And what we called out on Tuesday was the Uline family. For people who, if you have boxes that say Uline on them, I'm sure everyone is familiar with this. They make all kinds of shipping materials. That family is like the Maga Coke brothers. They were putting a ton

of money behind this one, specifically. So, you know, maybe you can re-evaluate your box choices out there. But either way, we digress. These fucking medieval goblins in the GOP wanted to change the law with this special election

that basically said, oh yeah, if you do voter referendums, you can't just do 50%. You need to hit 60% and more in order for those things to be successful, which is essentially saying we're trying to make sure that minority rule stays here forever.

The state is already gerrymandered to shit anyway to give the republicans like a 70 edge so they held it in august because they figured no one would pay attention and they could just have their way what's even funnier the elderly whites show up for shit like that exactly and the august elections have been a thing in ohio where the republicans actually made a law where they're like yeah we're not doing august elections they cost too much money nobody turns out as stupid so then they had to make an exception to their own fucking law to get this shit to happen in august because that's how backwards everything is and well the numbers are in they got absolutely

smashed out the people of ohio pulled up to make sure that they were not having their body autonomy fucked with. Hell yeah. So just so you know, about 2.8 million Ohioans turned up for this. In comparison. In August. In August. Ohio in August is uncomfortable as fuck. I haven't lived there.

It is not a great place to be. Is it muggy? What's it like? Oh yeah, it's muggy as shit. It's like gray a lot of the days the the sky will just sit sit there real low gray sky is what i remember from august and and just hot as shit oh well guess what 2.8 million showed up for this by comparison only 1.6 million turned up for the 2022 primaries when you have governors senators congress people on the

fucking ballot they fucking turned the fuck out for this they felt like ohio was trying to get one over on them that was the issue they were like nah you're not gonna get one over on us it's one thing for the primaries to come around to come around and i just don't give a fuck but you think you're trying to punk me you're trying to play me no exactly and they were running ads that were like this is actually to protect people from like the people who want to put trans ideology in our children's books. Like, no, you guys are trying to make a pre fuckery move to derail what is the inevitable in November when people of this country go to exercise their rights and say, we don't want you gross motherfuckers getting into my medical exam rooms and having a fucking say about what the fuck we do with our bodies get the fuck out of here and that's what happened it's so it's wild because the republicans have just truly hit the bottom here they kept doubling down on extremist bullshit to the point that they are now just self-generating huge political l's

because they don't know what to do anymore. They're 0 for 7. They're 0 for 7 on these. And people turn out, like Kansas, they turned out and defeated one of these. Michigan, Kentucky. The list goes on where they cannot get this shit over the line. But for whatever, it's just so

wild that they think, I think the logic being like, well, we got all the anti-choice people on our side. We can maybe activate them with this, but they're realizing those numbers are just not there. And even there are even conservatives, obviously who are like, I mean, yeah, but also like, I don't think we need to be up in people's doctor's offices as a Republican, which is wild that there's that kind of consensus for such an extreme issue.

So it is just, you know, I feel like in the Daily Beast, I forget who was saying it was like, it's like they're doing the Streisand effect to themselves. We're like, you know, that thing where Barbra Streisand didn't want people to, there's a, the Streisand effect is when this guy took a picture, like an aerial photo of her home for like the analysis of like cliff erosion in the state of california and she's like so get that picture down people are gonna see exactly where i live i need you're gonna want to come to the mall in my basement we can't have that where i have the best cinnabon yeah she got a much she got a mcdonald's in her basement she does because yeah yeah she's got a whole mall

in her business a whole wait what i thought y'all were... No, no, no, no. Oh, what the fuck? Her and her clone dogs. Her and her clone dogs. Because she's got like five clones of the same dog. Please, Miles, please. You didn't know that? No!

What is going on? She has cloned her dog like something like four times. No, no, no, no. Y'all are joking. No, her favorite dog died. Sequoia, her favorite dog died. What is a billionaire to do but clone this clone that shit yeah and then when it dies again what's she gonna do yeah oh my god so there's just this gmo dog running

around this is so like fucked up because it's been cloned repeatedly a clone of a clone of a clone the dog samantha died in 2017 and i feel since then, I think she did two clones, like two Xeroxes off rip. Were any of them alive at the same time? Because that's the really fucked up thing. Oh, yeah. No, she's. No, she's. They're like copies.

She has a bagel of clones. There are pictures of her with the clone dogs. Like, she's like, look at y'all. Y'all are the same people. That's got to be so weird. See, like right y'all are the same people that's gotta be oh this is see like right here that's that's the same dog i guess genetically speaking her uh this is but their facial features do get sorry this is more and more faded oh my god they look like a xerox of a zero yeah they're kind of like kill us no literally their faces are droopy they're scary

okay yeah so anyway so the strides in effect she's saying she sued and then like more pictures of the house like as people wrote stories about the suit like more pictures of the house like showed up everywhere people got interested they were like what is she hiding and right yeah yeah and then we then look and it's the same thing with them they're saying like they could have just i guess taken their win when with the dobbs decision and just be like all right that's it don't need to do much like let's not really fucking press this anymore because it's a fucking losing issue but here we are so more of us than them yeah for real yeah absolutely who knew even in like like kansas and ohio who really knew but

here we are and i think it shows right because even like because even like ohio's like the still the sort of identity is sort of like it used to be like the true swing state of the united states you know where it's like it's really representative of where people are at so for all of the extremism that exists there are still plenty of like moderates and liberal people progressive people who are like now what the fuck is going on here luckily that message was completely like was transmitted to the people and they knew exactly what's going on so nice try assholes yeah they are like i don't i don't even think it's like progressive people necessarily necessarily i think like you said it's conservative people too who are like this is fucking weird like you guys what you're doing is bad like yeah you're the

wrong you're you're wrong on this one and right turning out this is where you want to put your energy is into doing this because this is fucking they're like y'all are fucking weird some weird old ass shit and that's like that was for so long their whole thing was like the these liberals are weird am i right and that was i think they they got a lot of people on their side with that and now they're the ones who are just like you know screaming about because well then you'll have like here's here's here's michael from who's the head of ohio right to life it's like what the fuck does michael have to say about fucking what people do with their wombs yeah and that's

when i think it's just it's just so transparently clear that it's just unless like on on one level people probably don't like the idea that they can't they don't have any body autonomy the other part is just thinking that these weird ass politicians feel like yeah we have a right to be in here and adjudicate all this shit too and that's yeah no like even it's just like yeah go ahead it's such a desperate scramble it's embarrassing to watch and i'm sure lots of folks feel that who are a little bit more moderate and felt like liberals were weird and that was the draw for the anti-liberal movement or whatever they're probably like oh this is scary like i don't know what the fuck is going on on the right but it's desperate some it's like the strides in effect what are y'all hiding over there what's going on well yeah

yeah just a losing strategy of just not because again their whole they have no vision for the future they have no vision to offer people about how their lives can improve they're all focused on punishing people like women essentially let's let's make laws that make it illegal for women to live freely people with uteruses to live freely and and also like hopefully that will actually scare some of them to be a little less liberated to want to you know fall back into these weird old gender norms and gender roles and shit like that and it's people are like man come on it's 2023 like there's so many ways to live now and this isn't it but damn you know what that makes me feel like this is all stemming from the fact that now romantic relationships are not so much based on

what a man can provide monetarily and more so based on like a romantic thing and many men can't you know they've been set up to like provide monetarily and less in the actual person-to-person romantic relationship thing right and so it feels like they have to enact legislation that makes it so women can't be free women must need them right something yeah and then we have this entire thing oh my god this is awesome because it's all lonely it's incel behavior it's incel behavior and they're like well then we gotta punish the women that are like, are on their own shit. Like, I need a trad wife who's like, I need a man for everything.

Those were the good old days when my grandmother drank herself to death because she was so unhappy. Like, come on. Like, what are we doing? So, you know, again, shout out to the human beings of the country who... Shout out. I need a trad wife where I need somebody to invite me to Thanksgiving because nobody in my family will have me. Oh my God. They said that on Fleischman's in Trouble. Oh my God.

That just freaked me out. Anyways, moving on. Really? What did they say? Yeah. There was like one scene where the only single guy on the show was like no i just feel sad because i don't have anybody to invite me to thanksgiving like i'm lonely yeah nobody invites me to thanksgiving there's nothing to do if y'all haven't watched fleischmann's in trouble yet turn it on today

turn it on today it's fantastic the best thing i've watched in the last like five years oh shit okay i'll take that to me yes take that. That show got into me in a way that felt... You know when you're reading a good book? I might have said this on the show, but when you're reading a good book and it gets into you and you're sad that it's over? That show really did that to me.

It was always not very far from my thoughts. My thoughts, 100%. as we can see and it was based on a book i'm pretty sure and it kind of like yeah it is i kind of want to read that me too yeah yeah oh so it's about a 41 year old who's diving in the brave new world of app-based dating with the kind of success he never had dating in his youth before he got married at the tail okay yeah if you like there's there are things about it where you're like, wait, what is this going to be?

And then, but it's, it's really in the texture. It's like really in the writing and then the performances. Yeah. Performances. It's so good. It's really fantastic.

Yeah. Shit. I'm going to educate myself on that one. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Quick break and we'll be right back. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian,

now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach,

it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume.

My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab.

Sequoia at the beginning of the week, I had seen the fist fight in major league baseball and then i the doc brawl came up afterwards and i was like guys why do we why are we so obsessed with all these fights and it sounded like i was like no big deal leave you're like guys let's not let's not get carried away with this video moving along yeah yeah yeah we gotta clean right right right so yeah i i chose the exact wrong moment to be like enough with the fistfights folks guys guys why don't we just all love each other and be nice yeah but anyways i've watched it from all the angles oh yeah all the all the key moments the the swimmer the aqua main is scuba gooding jr scuba gooding jr swims l washington

so so many the hat throw is just wonderful the and the folding chair oh yeah some things so i i went back and watched the argument that led to it and the restraint from the the eventual hat thrower to not start throwing hands at the people as he's having this conversation is not to be overlooked it is it reminds me of like when a an umpire is talking to like a baseball manager and the baseball manager is just like swearing in their face and like spitting on them yeah doing it and like the the umpire just had like their point is just like very basic like this boat needs to go right here and right he's just like pointing like this is a message that could be explained in five seconds to a five-year-old right because you are drunk white boat people who have been in the sun all

day this is taking an hour so just i want to shout out his his restraint in the in the lead up but that's them then fully like you know sucker punching him and gang tackling him that's why there's so many levels of catharsis as a black viewer too where there's that restraint where you know you can't fully come for this fucking drunk asshole and you kind of got to take it. And you're like, God, I know that fucking patience. Then when the hands get to flying, it's the next level that the fucking portals open in the Avengers. And people are like, we're fucking here and we're not going to watch this shit happen because it's just so God, there's just so many layers to it. Like we were saying with Nicole Hannah, Nicole Hannah Jones talking like, you know, there's a history in Alabama, obviously.

And there's obviously a history of racial spectacle, like violent spectacles where people have had to watch untold horrors happen to black people at the hands of a white mob. And there was just really nothing you could do because of the white supremacy that exists in our country and to watch it all kind of coalesce into this like three-act shakespearean like brawl is like it's really it's really something i don't know uh sequoia how what i you know i know i see that i see the energy coming from you just from the mention of it. But yeah, did you where are you at with the video now? This filled my spirit up so much.

I have never felt so nourished as I did watching this particular piece of content. It is so cathartic. Like you said, like we're watching the entire story arc something that was captured from so many different angles yeah you're like okay that's how that started oh we got here okay but my favorite part of the video is when we watch the crew get off the boat and the people are skipping up to the boat with the white people on it the skipping is a threat if you've never seen somebody skip to a fight you take it as some light if you know you know that is a that's a warm-up it's a warm-up like it's a warm-up my man was so giddy to skip

to be also that moment where the boat gets close enough for the dock to the dock for them to disembark there it's like almost like at the gate they're like let me fucking get off this it's leaning over the edge yeah that was my favorite commentary where the people watching like oh here they go like they knew they're like oh no it's, it's you fucked up. You fucked up. And you get bonus black points if you said oop or boop every time you saw a punch. You know what I mean? Oop, boop, boop. Oh, I know you boop. You felt that?

You're taking me out. Oh, my God. It was so good watching it with the commentary. Everything about it was so good. I have not seen a video that made me feel that good in so long. Yeah. And, you know, I think there's something too like that i saw even pointed out on the route also that's just like the reason i think too that it

feels better is that like luckily no one is pulling firearms out in the middle of this no one died yeah that would have been a complete different thing would have been a whole other escalation and something that we kind of brace ourselves as Americans to be like, oh shit, there's group violence. Someone might start busting something from somewhere. Especially in the South. I'm shocked nobody had a firearm on them. I was shocked. Based on new police

reports that came out, apparently one of those guys was throwing racial slurs at that dock worker and also said they were going to go get a gun too. According to one of the people that they witnessed it witnessed it another person who was like working with the boat but part of me oh this is just a general warning to people you have to know when someone is at their like wage job and you fuck with them chances are they are there will be some kind of like collective response like having a shitty job is like being in a gang.

Absolutely. You know what I mean? Absolutely. When you got that shitty job, you're like, yo, you are not. You'll be like, look at this motherfucking talking shit to him. Hold the fuck up. Absolutely. You are going to get a level of smoke returned to you when you fuck with somebody at their job, too.

That's the other part. I was like they they they're they have done no analysis they did not do the proper threat analysis with this they did not have any context to have the proper threat analysis if you've never seen somebody skip to a fight you don't know that you're in grave danger when that happens if you've never like had a wave job wage job i don't know these people obviously they might have but if you've never had that collective action spirit you don't know these people, obviously. They might have. But if you've never had that collective action spirit, you don't know that you fucking with this one person. This is a dog whistle. Everybody's on you right now. Right.

And there are definitely more people who by watching and then joining in. And that's a big deal because like standing by and watching horrible shit happen is how I think a lot of people feel a lot of the time now. Yeah. And so like there's something cathartic of, you know, that it starts as one of the things what one of those types of videos that we've seen so many times and then the thing that doesn't usually happen finally happens where everybody is able to join in and there are more of us than there are of them in a lot of these circumstances but it just hasn't felt that way yeah to this point and i think i don't know i think it does a good job of driving that home so and i was fully prepared for the cops to not arrest

any of the voters the initial voters oh yeah and i was i was still gonna be like okay i'm gonna look at these black men that went to jail on this behalf as vigilantes and like you know right but they went ahead and arrested all the right people too you could not have had a better video yeah even the chair guy the chair guy they're like look we don't we don't have charges but like bro we need to talk to you man we need to stop because right you and you you fucking united that poor woman with the fucking chair that's why i started watching through my eyes where i was when i saw the chair come out i was like oh this might get a little bit more violent than i'm comfortable but luckily it was plastic it definitely nobody was bleeding like it was like okay it was a wwf style but one of my favorite moments is when they're arresting

the chair guy and then that white woman comes up in like the all white dress and i don't know what she says to the cop but the cop just like gives her a tiny shove and it's immediately revealed that she is way too day drunk to be in the situation and like yeah does the wobbliest fall on her ass that i've ever seen oh man that's one of one of the great falls in in the video yeah some of the men jumping in the water to avoid the fight yeah it was all good that was truly you know you can't sometimes your your ignorance does boomerang back to you and i don't know what i saw this one there was like one fucking someone made made a TikTok parody video of like, try that in 2023.

I don't know. Like, I don't know what year you thought it was, but try that shit in 2023. Jason Aldean, what's he think of this? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. People are, people got their eye on the prize. And yeah, like I think if there's, like Jack, you wrote in here about how people, you how people pointed out that it is, you know, this is Black August, too, where a lot of significant things have happened in Black history, including rebellions and that Turner rebellion, the birth of Marcus Garvey and Fred Hampton. Like this is another historical month in Black history. And it's kind of like not to say that this is in line with that, but things happen in August.

Not to say that this is in line with that, but things happen in August. The Ruth did a list with this as the latest in a timeline that has, yeah, Fred Hampton's birth, the March on Washington, you know, the Watts riots, the Ferguson protests beginning. And I kind of loved it. So, yeah. Anyway, just y'all, please just listen to people who are trying to keep you safe. You know, that's that's all this guy was trying to do. And then you had to go and get in your ugly racist bag. And look what happened to you. Look what happened to you.

Look at you. Yeah. So, God, between between that and the Boston cop video. So, so many healing videos. Boston cop videos. Oh, man. And I thought Oppenheimer was the best thing I saw this healing videos. Boston cop videos. Oh, man. And I thought Oppenheimer was the best thing I saw this fucking week. No.

Damn. Top three movie that you saw this week. Top three movie I saw this week. In the last week, the Doc Brawl, then Boston PD cop slide, then Oppenheimer. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. And Oppenheimer deserves Oscar attention, but so does this.

Yeah. Yes. yes, yes. We need this to be just captured in renaissance painting form. You know what I mean? Wow. What if Beyonce placed footage of it on her show? I would be actually really excited. A different renaissance, but yes. That would be...

I don't know what effect that would have on the crowd, but it would have a fucking effect for sure. When would she play that? you know what I mean when could she what song could she juxtapose that and people like yeah yeah yeah I don't know

and you're like oh shit alright well Sequoia such a pleasure having you such pleasure as always now now as always having you where can people find you hear you all that good stuff if you want to watch my drake series you can find it on tiktok and instagram at sequoia b holmes if you want to listen to my podcast you can find me on social at bPLB pod and you can find the podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts. It's called Black People Love Paramore. Yeah. What did you think of the Steph Curry video?

It was beautiful. I love that he like knew the lyrics and he sang them like straight. I watched his wildest dreams come true. Not one of them involving you because lots of men would have shifted that. And I love that he just gave the lyrics as they're recited. Exactly. Yeah. It was nice to see him like because, you know, I know that they have like celebrities and other they're recited. Exactly. Yeah. It was nice to see him like,

cause you know, I know that they have like celebrities and other people come up and stuff all the time, but it was nice to see him not be cool. Like trying to be cool about it. He was like, no, let me tell you,

this is my shit. Give me this microphone. And I will, it felt like someone being at like rockstar camp or something. It really did. You already have thousands of people cheering for you he's like but i've never had him cheer for me while i sing paramore and that's the thing i'm chasing yeah i love it he also didn't look that tall like on stage i know he's like a

short nba player he's like 60 or whatever but he didn't look like crazy tall i thought that was cool too yeah we just talked about his documentary on our basketball show and the whole like backstory with him he is tiny in high school he is like the smallest guy on the court in high school and yeah i yeah i don't know i don't know if they digitally shrunk him in the documentary or if that he's wearing lifts in the nba or what's happening but could you imagine he's fucking up his ankles because he's wearing lifts and shit? Yeah. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Damn, I was going to say the Steph Curry video.

Okay. Yeah. And you may. Sorry, I didn't mean to. For people who don't know, search Steph Curry Chase Center Paramore. Yeah. There you go. It'll come right on up. The Warriors posted it on Instagram as well.

Is there a work of media you've been enjoying yeah uh find me wherever they got at symbols at miles of gray that's x and i'm fucked at this twitter and threads and all that other shit uh and also find me on my new podcast uh the good thief talking about the greek robin hood this dude who was kidnapping millionaires and giving the money away a A true king.

And also, obviously, we got Miles and Jack on Mad Boosty. It's our NBA podcast. And if you like 90 Day Fiancé, check me and Sophia Alexander out on 420 Day Fiancé. You know what time it is over there. And a tweet or a work of me that I've been liking is actually

Sequoia's Drake Dinner Reviews. Again, for people who like a little bit of dinner or a little food critiquing with and intersecting that with hip-hop i think there's no better uh video series and sequoias where she takes you know a quote from a drake song and then goes to that restaurant and has it like you know you know having a some a meal in malibu at nobu you know what i mean or going to delilah or maybe get the bolognese at the Polo Lounge. You got it all. You got it all, folks.

Let Sequoia be your guide into fancy restaurants in the area. So, yeah, check those out. Well, thank you, Miles. Yeah. A tweet I've been enjoying. I like Jamie Loftus. She quote, getting stung by a bee is a huge honor. I think you piss someone off so bad they're willing to die.

That's true. And then at Krolge, revised the Hemingway story, he wrote, For sale, new, unopened, baby boys and girls shoes, baby walking shoes, first walking shoes, infant sneakers, crib shoes for baby, non-slip, breathable shoes, 6, 9, 18 month, 2023. And for some reason that just resonated with me as somebody who I feel like I have just my blood is half microplastics from the internet.

Like the internet equivalent of microplastics. I feel like it's just, I ingest so much bullshit. So many like sidebar ads. Yeah, it happens. Yeah, it happens. Yeah. And you can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien

and on threads. I presume I'm still over there. I haven't checked it. And like when you put Jack underscore O underscore O'Brien. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist. We're at The Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We have a Facebook fan page and our website dailyzeitgeist.com

where we post our episodes and our footnotes we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode as well as a song that we think you might enjoy miles with song do you think people might enjoy uh there's this track by an artist called will powers and it's called adventures in success uh and i heard it at a dj set over the weekend i was like this is kind of interesting because it has like this like very funky, like sort of talking heads-ish, like instrumental going on with like this computerized voice

doing all these like positive affirmations. Like, please know that you are worth everything. Please take stock of all your good qualities. Then I come to find out, it's actually a concept album by this artist photographer named Lynn Goldsmith that was made in the 80s where she kind of made this album to lampoon like self-help culture of the 80s

but has like really like sting is working on it steve winwood like nile rogers there's like so many just fantastic people who are contributing to this album that it's just it's fantastic so when you hear this song think of it as like i don't know i see it as like an opening to a really dope show about like 80s business culture or something and put that in your mind as you listen so anyway this is adventures and success with will powers i feel like there's a lot of dope art from the 80s but because the 80s monoculture was like so intense and just all-consuming that like we ignore a lot of it but like that that uh movie oh shit what's it called bt the movie uh the documentary all the beauty and bloodshed about nan golden

is like a bit really largely about a 80s and late 70s art scene in new york city that's really dope and made me realize kind of yeah there's like a lot of cool avant-garde art that happened in the 80s that everybody's just kind of yeah and this song is like funky for something that's kind of like a commentary on culture yeah it's just such it's like a fucking good song so if you even dj you're welcome because you'll add this to your set as a transition or something or take your set off with this.
