Starting point is 00:04:35 Especially, man, was that Sheryl Crow's song, Strong Enough? Oh, yeah. I've seen Her Majesty perform that song. It takes a little finesse. Because when you go, strong enough to be my man, my man.

Starting point is 00:05:53 no i went back to 15 in there well the thing is like i never want to go back to 15 but when you're with your family they just treat you like you're a child yeah right it's almost impossible to yeah i'm like i want to do my laundry right oh yeah wow is that like out of a thing of like i don't want you to be able to say that you did my laundry later or you just kind of like you'll mess up my clothes because i know how you do you just dry everything on the highest setting and shrink my shit i mean both she definitely it's always like please don't dry all my shirts because then they shrink and then I can't wear them. And the other thing is just like, then she'll be like, yeah, I did all the laundry. I'm like, yeah, but I could have done it.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Sure, sure, sure. Yeah. Like, I can do these things. Yeah. That's such a powerful thing is like what your clothes smell like when they're washed. Like at home, like they smell the same when you go home or like i don't know i when i lived with another family for a little while in high school like the the clothes smelled totally different and that just like completely i don't know so it's very powerful yeah yeah i'm sure
Starting point is 00:06:57 it's like animals you know like when the scent is off like your own mother would be like yeah this is not well yeah after i live with that family and i came home my mother it was like a baby bird my mother was like you've been touched by others get get out of my sight jesus they went heavy on the bounce sheets huh over there all right i guess you're my kid european laundry smells different uh that's me flexing weird flex but but okay yeah she wouldn't feed me anymore from her mouth it was pre-masticated food yeah that's a shame food which i had to learn to you know chew my own food it wasn't great uh and you came after alicia silverstone hard about that look it was a full now yeah yeah all right irene we are gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we are gonna tell our
Starting point is 00:07:42 listeners a few of the things we're talking about uh unfortunately we're going to keep talking about that debate i think both sides did really well as super producer on a hose he said i think they were both great i mean i think they both made some really good points and it was just a fun a fun light watch uh so we'll talk about how the fallout from Trump refusing to denounce white supremacists among white supremacists. We'll see how they're dealing with that whole thing, both on Fox News and in Proud Boys Facebook groups. We'll talk about Biden raising almost $4 million just during the debate. biden raising uh almost four million dollars just during the debate uh also like the aoc shaped hole that i felt in my heart watching the debate or just like the elizabeth warren shape just when it like i feel like for some reason i was just like yearning for uh one of the many uh candidates who can think on their feet uh during that debate it was very uh it was like then it wouldn't be an even match that's true you know at least you
Starting point is 00:08:56 got the two uh low energy furbies duking it out yeah yeah uh we'll talk about bob woodward and we'll do a little brain bleaching. Look at the dude on the skateboard listening to Fleetwood Mac and drinking ocean spray. We'll talk about some conjoined twins in British Columbia who can see through each other's eyes and hear each other's thoughts. We'll talk about time travel, why it might be mathematically possible. All of that. We need that. we need that like literally right now like okay we know he's talking about all this nasty shit that's happening in the world and the president you know going full chest out embracing white supremacists but you know what time travel though what if we can make that work out just in time
Starting point is 00:09:40 uh but first irene before we get to any of that what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are oh my latest search history was what's the conversion rate for the Canadian dollar yeah and this was before the debate
Starting point is 00:09:58 yeah now it's going to be I feel like that could have maybe affected the exchange rate because people are just like fuck canada is gonna be strong you get a dollar and 33 canadian a dollar 33 canadian for one american dollar it looks like yeah it's gonna flip yeah a brit the brain drain is gonna be more like a brain tipping over the uh ball full of soup and it just spills everywhere because uh yeah if it could it could be bad have you been uh lining up people who could possibly give you a sham marriage in canada me yeah anybody i know i have i mean i know some
Starting point is 00:10:41 comedians that are canadian but yeah yeah mean, all the good ones typically are. Right. Yeah, yeah. It'll be interesting. Oh, man. Yeah, you know, there's some nice zeitgang people who have offered refuge to Her Majesty and I in the form of sham marriages. You know, I think we'll see what goes down here. I think we might be able to tough this one out, but, you know, thank you for the offer.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Do they do polyamory? Because I think we all got to marry the same three comedians then right they may be i don't know yeah let us know uh what's going on up there but yeah everyone constantly reaches out from like people i know from other countries not just listeners who are like it's how's it over there is it is it yeah is it as bad as it seems i'm like here's the thing the thing. Depending on how engaged you are, you could have always known it was this bad. But now it's like the media and everyone's like, oh, now it's all out there. And it's all happening in like three simultaneously that it's very hard to spin any of this into being like, yeah, yeah, don't worry. It's all number one.
Starting point is 00:11:40 It's all good. That is the I am am pretty i i differ pretty drastically from anybody who was surprised by that debate that's almost exactly what you would expect to happen based on everything just yeah that we've seen if you've been paying attention do you like it's okay but it's 2020 like You expect something unexpected, right? You're like, maybe this will be the best debate ever. Right, that's true, yeah. When the expectations are so low. That would be if the election just went incredibly smoothly
Starting point is 00:12:16 and Trump was like, I've been bested by a damn you Democratic Party. I mean, that would be a 2020 move that would yeah right and so i'm like damn 20 and like that's when all those memes are gonna come like not gonna lie man i thought they had us in the fourth quarter yeah uh but it ended up working out somehow yeah um what is something you think is overrated something i think is overrated it's just um like needing to be right all the time yeah we've been talking about this for a while yeah that's like whatever like what all our problems are it's like
Starting point is 00:12:50 everyone just has to like prove they're right like even when they realize like you're wrong about something just like because you took one stance you just have to have that stance forever it's like you can change your mind yeah like that's fine it's you know ego is a hell of a fucking thing you know when it really is almost saying like well don't admit that we were wrong just keep putting the pedal to the metal and make it worse for yourself that's what we'll do because i'm ego and i'm at the wheel i don't care about your existence i care about how we are viewed yeah Yeah, it's really, especially constantly, I think this is the one thing
Starting point is 00:13:27 we've heard a lot of guests talk about is like this being wrong is okay. It's not an issue. It's part of being growth. Yeah, it's about growth. It's not like you're a wrong person. You're
Starting point is 00:13:44 like, oh, I learned more information and i changed my mind yes change your mind about things having uh complex opinions about uh different people that they couldn't be right about some things and wrong about others like that i think i wasn't able to do that until i was like 27 yeah i mean to be honest like to like fully not do the thing where like loki i would take the l in private and then like just stop talking about it which is like the you know the you're on your way there where you like you get owned in like some kind of debate and you're like all right then we'll see i'm gonna go look at some stuff and then you like cry in your honda and then you're like okay maybe you have some points but now I'm at a point where you're like oh for real huh huh okay yeah thank you for that and I will I will I will just confirm
Starting point is 00:14:30 that if okay you were correct thank you and now you have fed my mind appreciate that yeah it's a big it's a jump to get to that point I guess for some people yeah I mean I think everybody just needs to read a couple self-help books yeah you know yeah yeah they've been kind of embraced by a certain type of community that we have like yeah i think self-help and just the idea of like focusing on like uh spiritual things even if it's not like a religious thing has been relegated to just being like this bullshitty thing like yeah marian ann williamson big orb energy type shit but really like i mean you know i think a good i i i tried reading like alan watts like at 19 i that was i was i was swinging on pitches that were a little too fast for me intellectually at
Starting point is 00:15:18 that time now it makes much more sense but you know eckhart tolls uh the power of now is like i i always use that as a gateway book for like bros of mine who are like i don't know like she could be different right and i'm like why don't you read this book a little bit and think about being present a little more and not worry about the past or future or how it makes you look sir and you're like yeah thanks man thanks thanks so yeah check that one out if you got time but i i didn't even want to admit that die hard 4 was a bad movie oh i like die hard so much die hard so much that was like pretty late i forget what year that came out but i was like yeah you know even even that i was trying i i didn't want to admit i was wrong about it was a whole thing
Starting point is 00:16:04 you got pepper sprayed at that Best Buy and everything. Yeah. No, I was willing to die for, live free or die for this movie. Still kind of like that movie. Irene, what is something that you think is underrated? Underrated? Competence. Just being competent in general.
Starting point is 00:16:29 What inspired that? You know, nothing. Definitely not this podcast. Definitely not the debate. Definitely not the debate. What do you guys think about Chris Wallace? Because I heard a lot of people saying that was the worst moderation. I don't know what a competent person was supposed to do with regards to the interrupting.
Starting point is 00:16:58 If you can't cut the mic, what are you supposed to do? I don't know. at the mic what are you supposed to do unless i'm i don't know he could have been like angry dad on the road trip with the kids fighting in the back and being like i'll pull this fucking car over right now i don't give a fuck whose birthday yeah i think he should have been more strict and stern and angry about it yeah just gotten angry like you know what if you guys don't stop doing this debate the debate's over like we're just we're just gonna pull the car over yeah yeah we're just gonna end it and then talk about how you guys are being dumb for the last hour it was pretty wild that like just how transparent the kid who like arguing child in the backseat of the car energy was when trump was like well him too right yeah when he told it wasn't me
Starting point is 00:17:46 that was just bad boy he was bad boy too tell him what the heck i have to go to yellow light he he should go to yellow light too that's not fair that's not fair oh this is bullshit mr wallace what'd you say nothing i'm sorry i'm sorry he should also be yellow light I have to go to yellow light, he should also have to go to yellow light. What about that? I have to go to red light? No. It was, I don't know. I mean, like, yeah, I guess the one thing I didn't like was when it was clear that him
Starting point is 00:18:15 and Biden were like vibing together about how out of control the president was being. I'm like, have some air of like impartiality a little bit. Right. Yeah. I don't know either, Vice President Biden. I mean, this mean this guy yeah i guess he is uh you know sure it gives because i know the the on the right they are all just mad at chris wallace so on the left people are blaming him because these two old men don't know how to behave and then on the other on the right they're like oh he was all he was against the president by asking him direct questions about things
Starting point is 00:18:45 pertaining to his life and presidency yeah it also just sounded like he would be like begging trump to like stop talking he'd be like oh no you're gonna love this next question yeah that was so wild he's like he said that like multiple times he's's like, no, no, this one you're going to love. Like, what? It's like an open mic comedian bombing. Like, how about this next one? This next one. Yeah, you're going to love this one. You're going to love this one.
Starting point is 00:19:13 No, I swear. This one really, though, you guys. Don't give me the light. You're going to love this, Mr. President. That or you're feeding a baby vegetables. And you're like, oh, you're going to like this one. Here comes the plane. You're going to love this bite. So this next question's a one. Here comes the plane. You're going to love this bike.
Starting point is 00:19:25 So this next question's a plane. Open up the tunnel. It's going to fly. Don't spit it out. Don't spit it out. Don't just chew, chew, chew, chew, chew. Yep, chew, chew. Here comes the train.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Oh, man, this shit works really well, too, by the way. The train stuff. Oh, the plane, the train, whatever. The plane, the train. Get the calories into me mouth. You know what I mean? Comes around the bend going through tunnels you know what you can do all sorts of creative stuff do you remember being fed like
Starting point is 00:19:51 that pretty vividly and i don't i have a vivid memory of it and i'm curious if maybe i was doing that this shit too late into life that i have these really strong memories of that shit i don't think i ever did that never got a plane coming in don't think so yeah did that. Never got a plane coming in? Don't think so. Yeah, I mean, that's what I'm talking about when I say it works. It gets me to eat stuff really. Yeah, it makes food more delicious. Yeah, no, I actually don't remember that. Remember eating that.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I remember there was a spoon that my older sister and I would fight over because it had a bee on it. was like a spoon that my older sister and i would fight over because it had a bee on it uh and like that when you got the bee spoon that was like the ring of power and like that okay that made food more delicious that that's something that i've tried to replicate and haven't been able to succeed with you know what they should have done for the debates is use a talking stick yeah if you're not holding the talking stick you can't talk or like the conch and like the lord of the flies yeah you know what i mean yeah oh for sure the i mean they're going to have to cut mics am i am i making it up that they did that at one time
Starting point is 00:20:58 where they like he couldn't talk over people uh was that like maybe during a clinton debate or one of the original republican debates i feel like i've i remember mike's being turned off during a debate but maybe that was just i do know that the council for presidential debates is they're like okay we're gonna take another look at how we're running that thing because you can't just have people just straight screaming over the other one when they're like bringing up their ineptitude over something like a pandemic or you know take your pick on whatever issue is plaguing us right um finally irene what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false or vice versa all right so this was inspired by a conversation i had with my friend that um completely unrelated to anything we've talked about so far the myth
Starting point is 00:21:52 that uh milk is bad for you okay i don't think it's true i drink milk every day i like never get acne so anecdotally myth busted. Yeah, busted. Those are the facts. You drink milk every day? Every day. What kind of milk? Whole milk with cream top. Wait, what's cream? You do a half and half floater?
Starting point is 00:22:19 It's whole milk, but it comes with the cream on the top of it. It basically is half and half. Where are you picking that up? Where do you buy that? Just like straight out of a bucket on a farm? No, it's like they have it at Whole Foods and like Sprouts.
Starting point is 00:22:33 The cream top? Yeah. Damn. It's like the Strauss. It comes in a glass bottle. Oh, Strauss Family Creamery. Yeah. You know, because I like fatty ass milk.
Starting point is 00:22:43 That's what I'm saying. It's great. That's the fucking... Because in Japan, the milk fat content over there is so much... As a kid, I grew up drinking... I feel like what tastes like half and half. And then I would come to get my school lunch, and it would be like 2%. And I'm like, what the fuck is this watered-down horse shit? Just spitting milk at the lunchroom. yeah well to the point where like i hated even
Starting point is 00:23:06 like the low-fat milk that i would just get the two percent because it was closer to water and i would just pound them shits like like it was water anyway all that to say is okay i got my eye on this cream top now it's good you gotta get it it's good yeah i drink it every day how do you how do you develop the like the habit like you know i always drank milk when i was a kid and you know when you're in school every kid drinks milk that's what they give you for lunch right so i would just drink those and those were always like kind of gross they're like carton milk it tastes like cardboard and it's two percent milk so it's a little you know watery um but at home we would just buy whole milk which is actually only like 3% milk fat.
Starting point is 00:23:45 It's like not even that much more. Yeah. Right. And then I liked that. And I just always have liked, you know, like a heavier, creamier milk. So then like a few years ago, I think my mom maybe found it or I found it. But we found this milk that has like the cream top on it. And now I just get that.
Starting point is 00:24:02 I'm loving that. Yeah, because I think i i drink around i'll eat i'll drink 3.8 fat or even 4.2 wait where do you find that though that's in japan like they have the shit on the carton bro like it's just like 3.8 4.0 4.2 oh you want to you want to fuck your heart up i mean go ahead we got it uh that but when you drink that how that was cereal oh that sounds good i grew up eating cereal with skim milk we were like a big that's the why why would you even drink milk if you're gonna drink skim milk i know it's so bad now like going back to that it sucks it's like why didn't we just fucking pour water on it it's just weird
Starting point is 00:24:45 looking water yeah it's like gray blue water why why are we doing this why did you do this to me oh man yeah yeah you don't know you don't know what cereal is supposed to be if you've been eating skim milk and that is what it has as like on the nutritional information they're like yeah if you just put a cup of skim milk in here it's like why would i do that why why don't you just tell me what it would be like if i just poured the cereal down the fucking garbage disposal i remember one time a babysitter was like watching me for like a weekend or something and we had to go to the grocery store i was like maybe five or six and like they're like oh what cereal do you like i was like this one's like what milk do you get and i was like oh shit
Starting point is 00:25:28 all right here we go maybe i'll go half a half or something and just say that's what i put on my cereal and because i would always drink the little mini creamers at restaurants and my mom would be like yo you're fucking around embarrassing my ass looking like an idiot taking shots at the table like that you just call them barbie milks anyway so at the uh at the grocery store uh i remember seeing buttermilk for the first time and in my mind i go oh that's the fuck that's the one right this butter milk yes please that has yeah this shit was not right and i completely regretted it i didn't know and then the person who was like babysitting me also didn't know what it was like are you sure this is what you would put on them yeah yeah that's what we do that's what we do that's what is it salted
Starting point is 00:26:07 like buttermilk it's i think it's like way more cream isn't it yeah it's just absolutely it's like not supposed to be drinkable no you don't you don't really like cook with it yeah yeah you're not supposed to be drinking that shit uh because like people like make it on their own like to cook with uh and it was such a i had to but i had to do one of those things where you take the l like just power through it because i couldn't admit i was wrong yeah that was the ego yeah exactly yeah exactly when you're five that's the ego again it couldn't admit i'm like hey you know what you were right this is not the milk that i normally drink you were right this is something strange but i was like no this is sour but it's good and thick it's like yogurt so i married a woman who is lactose
Starting point is 00:26:52 intolerant we we have lactate i have lactate in like all my pockets we have lactate just laying around the house but like there's something about milk definitely like I'm more sensitive to what it does to my body like it I think I'm like at least like partially lactose intolerant or maybe it's like when you gain sympathy weight or something and I'm just sympathetically lactose intolerant but sometimes it hurts you know you don't get that at all, Irene? I really don't. Yeah. Good. I power up.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Truly, though, I do power up. I'm like, I gotta drink my two glasses of milk and I'm ready to go. It's funny, for me being black and Asian, I feel like at some point, milk or dairy would do something to me. But I don't know. We're just
Starting point is 00:27:48 some cheese-eating, milk-drinking fools on this side. So, you know, raised beef. I mean, different food does different things to different people. I think shrimp makes me fart, though. Oh, what were you talking about? Alright, guys.

Starting point is 00:30:17 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:30:59 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.

Starting point is 00:31:40 And remember, only you can prevent wildfires. Brought to you by the USDA Forest Service, your state forester, and the Ad Council. And we're back. And people are still kind of working their way through the debate fallout, including the Proud Boys, who had a big moment. You know, Biden threw it out there uh wallace asked trump to denounce white supremacists uh he was like give me a name biden said uh the proud boys and he was like well not surely not the proud boys surely not those white supremacists name another group that isn't a white supremacist group right how about the southern poverty law center i'm totally against
Starting point is 00:32:29 them so i denounce them but not not actual right supremacists it was a it was a big like the the web boards of the proud boys were a light uh after that basically saying like dude we got a fucking shout out on the fucking presidential debate which is yeah frightening they're just a neo-fascist group uh where all they i mean robert evans has been attacked by proud boys uh when he's covering shit in portland like this is this isn't just like some dudes wearing fred perry polo shirts uh and like just trying to talk shit like they're you know they're they're straight up neo-fascist group. And that it would seem to be the one thing where everyone like the entire country just forehead slapped, even though like most people were like, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Like, I'm not surprised that he couldn't do that. He's made it clear that he's the president himself is a white supremacist. So like I, I was sort of like, yep, there he goes. He can't, he can't do that. He can't, he's, he's going to struggle with it it and he just lets everybody else be like no no that's not how he feels that's not how he feels that's not how he feels wallace asked him to tell them to stand down and he instead told them to stand by and stand back so um slight difference i was like if that was a freudian slip which it wasn't worst Freudian slip in history and also Freudian slips are
Starting point is 00:33:47 people saying the thing that they that their unconscious brain is telling them to say but yeah like it's either he secretly wants that or openly wants that and he's also not coming out and being like I misspoke he's coming out and
Starting point is 00:34:04 not saying shit even though Republicans are like, please correct yourself. Just especially fucking Tim Scott. Yeah. One black senator. They're asking him straight up. They're like, so what do you think about that? And he's like, oh, man, you know, I think he must have misspoke. So but he needs a chance to clean that up, because if he doesn't, then I guess he didn't misspeak.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Yeah, true. Interesting way to walk us through that exercise. Uh-huh. Thank you. What do you make of it as the black senator of the of the one black republican senator who they constantly use as a token and just dismiss all their vile behavior like well you know tim scott is helping us work on police reform so we we have this thing under control uh and now he's just you know having to be like that dude's just like i don't know man what do you want me to say like yeah i know he's
Starting point is 00:35:00 racist but i've kind of already picked the side here. So going to have to just pretend I don't know till, which is like voter suppression, voter intimidation, and then refusing to commit to telling his followers to maintain peace as the election results are counted because he thinks there's going to be irregularities and then the irregularities that he was pulling like it just seems like the only things he pays attention to are conspiracy websites and you know and him losing yes and his his own twitter like response mentions probably i mean his whole focus is just that he doesn't have the the skill or the support to actually win the election
Starting point is 00:36:07 it seems aside from you know outright fuckery which they're fully engaged in so now that's like more of the focus it's like yeah i don't know that they could have gone to shit but as long as i'm like you know invalidating a ton of fucking votes for biden maybe that's how it works and not because i'm actually telling people to vote for me it's because i i completely just swindle the whole thing so the white house tried though to clean up some of the comments um hogan gidley came out and he was like okay they asked yeah hogan gidley i wish it was a real name get the fuck out of here hogan gidley that sounds like a harry potter character i know right yeah it does uh so yeah he came out he was just basically saying like oh you know they're like well what about this this thing with trump
Starting point is 00:36:50 being a white supremacist spoiler alert for everyone in case you didn't know trump is a white supremacist but yes uh hogan gidley just comes up with this typical thing where he's like of course he's against it what he meant to say was blah blah blah blah blah peter navarro at one point tried to blame chris wallace for him talking like that and be like, well, everything. It was just a bad look for everybody involved. And you could tell immediately, too, because every like senator was like, you should have. He should have said he should have fucking disavowed that immediately. It doesn't make sense how he fucked that up.
Starting point is 00:37:24 That's like the easiest fucking thing we're not even in a you know like even like establishment republicans are like we don't we don't do the outright racism shit anymore like we even learned from the 60s and 70s like we got to do use like deracialized language to get our racism across when someone asks you point blank if racism bad, you have to say yes. Yes. Our policies are racist in their effects, but we don't. Our words that we use to form those policies are not openly racist, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Yeah. Even Fox, even Fox, which Fox moderated the debate. And then as they were responding to it, there are some people who are like, Trump came in with a command performance and just dominated. But for the most part, a lot of Fox analysts were just a little bit more circumspect and realistic.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Like Brian Kilmeade, Stevecey seemed just like bummed about it they were like steve ducey had like this whole thing where he's like you know it's like going to your favorite restaurant and you know you're ready to have a like a really nice meal and then it comes and it's just and the anticipation it's like that was just okay uh like just likening it to like i don't know what he thought this was gonna be like he just thought trump was gonna fucking like literally eat joe biden up there and it's like that's exactly the leadership i'm talking about we need a cannibal in chief yeah i mean the we as we always talk about the trump administration and all his
Starting point is 00:39:03 talking points are just you know whatever he's guilty of he accuses the other side of doing he seemed pretty uh let's say keyed up um and he had also been accusing the biden campaign of using adderall to prepare for the debate so that's just one thing i would i would put out there i don't i don't know how like in control of his own faculties trump was going up there he was sweating he was just sweat he was sweating he was interrupting just like just couldn't it was like he couldn't stop himself i do want to play this clip though from brian kilmeade because he you know you know the president was watching fox and friends immediately after all he does is watch fox so and they know and they know they're
Starting point is 00:39:45 talking to him anyone on fox knows that's when you talk to the president or you audition to get into the cabinet by completely you know ignoring how bad the performance was you could tell there were some people uh then morning after who were like it was unbelievably good and you're like oh you it's too late you don't want to be part of this. Anyway, so this is Brian Kilmeade basically saying he fucked up the biggest layup in the history of debates. But Donald Trump threw the biggest layup in the history of debates by saying not
Starting point is 00:40:13 condemning white supremacists. I don't know if he didn't hear it, but he's got to clarify that right away. That's like, are you against evil? Why the president didn't just knock that out of the park? I'm not sure. Maybe he just didn't hear it. Maybe he just didn't just uh knocked out of the park i'm not sure oh maybe he just didn't hear it maybe he just didn't hear it dude the fact that even on fox and friends they're trying to even put that as like yo are you against evil man like even on fox and friends are like you
Starting point is 00:40:37 can't just openly embrace white supremacy like that we we have we can't go that far back you know like it's it's interesting to even see them even though they're engaged in it and would love to give all kinds of disingenuous arguments against equality and things like that that at that point they're like you know in public we have to say racism bad right it just doesn't work like that you can't blue that buddy yeah it's i mean i'm more surprised that they are that disconnected from like the implications of their of their own beliefs, that that is like what that he gets, how bad that was. to bush he even brought out a fucking whiteboard to give a lesson to the president directly on obviously not like he was saying it but they're like hey ari well you got an whiteboard there for some tips for the you know what the president could could possibly do to in the next debate i'm just gonna play the beginning of it because it's so patronizing but it also shows you how these
Starting point is 00:41:41 people are like i don't know what the fuck else we could do. Like, I don't know what we can know. That was an utter fuck up, but listen to Ari Fleischer really put on his like teacher cap here. Lucky there's my advice for the president on the next debate. One interrupt less. It's perfectly fine. A key moments to jump in. Don't do it all the time to let Biden flail around. The president actually saved Biden on
Starting point is 00:42:07 several instances. When he said to Joe Biden, you won't take a stand on packing the court. You won't take a stand on the filibuster. He should have then gone silent and showed America Biden isn't taking a stand. Trump is right. But instead, he interrupted again and said, where's your list? Where's your list? He didn't let Biden flail. Let the man flail. It'll happen. And three, sum it up. Let Biden go through two or three of these episodes where he doesn't answer. It was OK. Yeah. Do you like any of those points? What do we think, Irene? Did you of those or maybe you have some advice for the president? I mean, I'm not trying to help the man. So I'm like, hey, just do what you did again.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Keep that up, bro. Yeah, you're doing great, bro. I also don't think those things would necessarily work. Like, I don't think those were the problems. I think that also would have to have some. He would have to be someone who actively listens and his he's not a fucking improviser right you know what i mean or you could go into and be like right okay i'm gonna wait for those pockets i'm gonna let him flail then i'm gonna sum it up and then i'm not gonna
Starting point is 00:43:15 enter like he doesn't dude unless he has some kind of like electrode attached to his like fucking leg that's like shocking him like shut the fuck up shut the fuck up shut the fuck up i don't know if he will ever be able to have that kind of self-control or he like i don't know you know it it was what it was because he is who he is as yeah biden said yeah he had a couple pretty good lines and biden had like a record-setting run. He, he almost raised a $4 million in the last hour of the debate. So we see who was, who was energized by the president's performance. Just everyone's just at home panicking.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Like, Oh, we got to donate now. Right now. I don't know. Oh God is, will this money give Joe Biden more energy directly right now if I send the cash in? Please. Yeah, if I inject the money, will he talk louder?
Starting point is 00:44:11 And as you guys see, I have a whiteboard here that I've drawn up some recommendations for Joe Biden on. Flail more. of them more so so they need to just get somebody to like when they're doing the debate prep just interrupt him constantly and shout like just wild shit at him because he still gets distracted and will stop and be like i just yeah he did a lot of like yo that doesn't work that is not good tv smiling at him like while he's being uh a fascist and a racist is not cute like people don't like that like that's not it's not helping anyone and just the every single time Biden says and by the way everything that comes after that is bull like it's just terrible it's always boring it's always some boring specific where you can like feel him getting stressed out as he tries to like land the sentence and it's
Starting point is 00:45:14 just like yo if you find yourself saying by the way just go just shut the fuck up and just go back to the previous thing you were saying or move on but yeah i don't know man there was just like i felt an elizabeth warren slash aoc slash you know any bernie sanders people who have the you know courage of their convictions shaped whole in the debate because there was just i don't know they like this and like and even Hillary, people who are playing the game, it's just, I'm tired of seeing that. Well, just because we've seen fucking two generations worth of the same kind of discourse.
Starting point is 00:45:59 And it's like we're watching commercials from the 70s, but we're millennials. And we're like, bro, this commercial is whack as fuck. And it's so insincere. And I'm not going to smoke Newports now because of this. No, I mean, I am. But yeah, but that's but that's your choice between you and me. And that's how you get down because I'm more of a Benson and Hedges 100s type.
Starting point is 00:46:19 But like it. But that's what you're talking about. With these other politicians, the reason they're more refreshing is because they've abandoned this wonk-speak political rhetoric of threading the needle and not upsetting people and just getting to be like, Yo, okay, so you're broke because of this, okay? That's what the fuck is going on right now. The reason you don't have healthcare is because right now, the whole system has been hijacked by the insurance industry and pharmaceutical companies. But it's everything. When you don't have that, it just gets lost into this angry screaming match up there. And also, I would love, you know, Nene Leakes from Real Housewives of Atlanta was like, get that joe biden prep debate team because he needs a lesson
Starting point is 00:47:05 on how to read people um i couldn't imagine if joe biden even had just one pre-loaded uh just clap back uh that he could use but at the end of the day like it's just spectacle as we watch the country suffer like in real terms and it's it's weird like to even get like sort of worked up like oh he could have pwned him up there but it's like oh man how about like some fucking financial relief some financial fucking assistance right now why are we talking about that i don't think we learned anything no it's these very straightforward things where he has truth and the you know majority of americans on his side but there's like this like short circuit where uh you know the mainstream democratic party feels like you need to you know uh split the difference and be in the middle but like he you know most
Starting point is 00:48:02 people in the country agree that climate change is bad and is caused by you know fossil fuels like but he felt like he had to equivocate and run away from that there's like so many different things where he yeah relief like giving people help like the there's just like so many different things i mean even down to the like herman cane thing was like so many different things. I mean, even down to the like Herman Cain thing was like so like trouble. It was like nobody's ever been hurt by like going to my rallies. It's like, dude, what? Did you see that Josiah Johnson tweet? What?
Starting point is 00:48:36 When it said Trump, ain't nobody died at my rallies. And it said Herman Cain. And it was that gif from the rap battle where the dude's like, right. Okay, motherfucker, really? Yeah, just the, I don't know, the equivocating, the trying to calculate when all you need to do is just tell the truth is somewhat frustrating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:00 But hey, looking forward to the next two, right? Yeah. Whatever those end up being being or if there's rules or whatever i don't know it's just such a such a mess yeah all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back hello everyone i am lacy lamar and I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar.

Starting point is 00:52:14 Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Get the facts. Go to realdeal deal on fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to real deal on fentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the ad council. And we're back. And we want to check in with the Fleetwood Mac skateboarder guy who, uh, that is the definition of a whole vibe feeling there is just a palpable good good energy surrounding surrounding that
Starting point is 00:53:18 dude in that video this clip is of this guy Nathan Apodaca but it was like at dogface 208 double G d o double g okay respect it uh apparently he's in idaho falls and if you again if you haven't seen this video i'll just try and describe but you must look at it yourself this dude he's on a skateboard he's vibing like he's not having to do much kicking because he must be on some kind of decline uh and he's just got a full ass bottle of like ocean spray crayon razz leisurely sipping and grooving and it has this feeling of like freedom and carefreeness that i think is for whatever reason i think resonated with so many people simultaneously because it looked like someone completely untethered from like the chaos of what the political state is the economic woes of this country everything else and just sort of
Starting point is 00:54:12 like yeah man i'm just gliding i'm having a little juice and i'm listening to some good tunes and that that's enough to kind of raise you up a little bit and yeah so it was no you know secret or no surprise when this video just became like the fucking all people could fucking talk about over the weekend um so he is first of all as somebody who has lived in los angeles for almost a decade now just watching him leisurely ride a skateboard on like in what would be stopped traffic in Los Angeles stressed me out.
Starting point is 00:54:48 That's where I'm at. This video even managed to stress me out. He was in Idaho Falls, man. He wasn't in LA. It's okay. The roads are more forgiving over there. He's gotten some financial assistance from people? Yeah, apparently he was
Starting point is 00:55:05 living in an rv like in front of his brother's house and he you know like he got all this a lot of donations to like cash app and paypal venmo etc uh and now he got like around ten thousand dollars and he's just like super grateful because he's like i need a car he's like the the reason he was saying the reason the video went viral is because like he had some he he had a shift at it like the potato factory or something he has a very interesting life and his car was broke down so he's like on a skateboard more uh this whole thing and so he's giving like five grand to his mom it's it's like half heartwarming and then half sad like anything where you're like this person got you know they're the the crowd people crowdfunded their way into like a better situation um but at the end of the day like you know if i just very narrowly keep it about the
Starting point is 00:55:57 the skateboarding freedom and you know ocean spray needs to give him some kind of deal oh yeah i'm sure a lot of people are buying cranberry juice again. I was into it. I was like, yo, I haven't had cranberry juice in a while. I know. And Cran-Raz is that one that's good. Because straight cranberry juice was like, ugh. No, it's too tart.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Or you get the cocktail, and it's a little bit sweeter. But Cran-Raz was always an easier sip. Or Cranon Apple. I like Crayon Apple. Oh, okay. Yeah, they got to put them in a commercial. Or White Cranberry Peach. That one was a vibe for a little bit in the early aughts.
Starting point is 00:56:34 I remember, ooh, you have that with a little Sprite and vodka. You know what I mean? That used to be my turnip juice that was just all sugar and I would get sick immediately. used to be my turnip juice that was just all sugar and i would get sick immediately i do i did this did make me wonder if he if there was any vodka in that because of how good he was feeling on this thing i was like that's that would be me if there was vodka in that thing like that's how i would be feeling either way ocean spray needs to reach out to this man. Oh, 100%. I'm trying to think of how I can get this same vibe safely. Do I put a fan in my face to have a fake breeze? Because I don't trust myself on a skateboard getting fucked up.
Starting point is 00:57:15 You have skater vibes, though. I mean, I can ride a skateboard, but if I'm doing my version, I'm probably drinking and smoking at the same time. But if I'm doing my version, I'm probably drinking and smoking at the same time. So I want to do it in a very safe place where I can glide and not be a danger to myself or others. Or maybe get somebody pulls me in a red wagon. That'd be fine. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:57:41 Just hook it up. It's like, yo, pull me, bro. I think the theme of this episode is we're all going we're all reverting back to being like toddlers uh well i think the the other thing is just about the whole pandemic things like we're i find myself like simplifying a lot of like my own needs too because there's not a lot of ways to get what you want or need right now in the middle of all this and like seeing videos like this i'm like that's right man like it's all just about some wind in your face a little cranberry juice and getting free it's not like that's all i need i need to hop on a flight
Starting point is 00:58:15 go to switzerland uh fucking eat that chocolate and then uh throw a gold bar off a mountain on us on a fucking unsuspecting tour bus or whatever you do out in Switzerland. But I think, yeah, there's this, I don't know, like to see this, I'm like, maybe we can reconnect as a people to know that this is,
Starting point is 00:58:32 this is like the peak of like our existence is just feeling free with a little juice, a little beverage, alcoholic or not other, whatever it is, water, do whatever you got to do and good music. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Yeah. Yeah. Like, I feel like i've seen a lot of people in quarantine like learning how to skateboard you know oh you got a lot of upright uh aspiring skaters yeah not like i don't think like people are trying to be like skaters but just like yeah this is a thing that i always wanted to do and you know i think it'll be fun and brings me joy you know yeah yeah. 100%. Bless him.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Bless Nathan Apodaca. And always, he's got a ton of followers on TikTok. He does a lot of content with his nieces and nephews, I think. So you love to see it. You love to see it. Let's talk about some science. We got two science stories. One that blew my mind. So there are conjoined twins in British Columbia who,
Starting point is 00:59:29 uh, I think they're like 12 or so. Um, but they are like this very particular type of, uh, they share a thalamic bridge, um, which is basically the part of the brain that acts as a switchboard
Starting point is 00:59:46 that relays like sensory and motor signals and so they share the senses of touch and taste and even control one another's limbs or can control one another's limbs their names are Tatiana
Starting point is 01:00:02 and Krista and Tatiana sees out of both of Krista's eyesiana sees out of both of Krista's eyes can see out of both of Krista's eyes and Krista can see out of one of Tatiana's eyes um and they can hear each other's thoughts um which is pretty dope
Starting point is 01:00:17 that's crazy yeah it's pretty awesome whoa okay I'm like okay yeah right that's gotta be a trip yeah i mean must not be because that's how you're used to experiencing life from the beginning but yeah but it is trying like put myself in that space where like doing tricks and shit be like like a magician could probably not fuck with them because they could literally be like yo
Starting point is 01:00:44 okay like they're just talking in their heads like, all right, this is what we're going to do. Yeah. So this motherfucker, he's going to try and pull that card. I don't know. I don't know how it works, but... That's specifically what they call it. They call it talking in our heads.
Starting point is 01:00:56 So they recognize that it's different enough that they can describe it to people and be like, yeah, it's like we're having a conversation in our heads but y'all can't hear it um that's so wild how do they know like when they're looking out of their own eyes versus the like how do you switch back and forth with the eyes yeah that's a great question i don't i don't know yeah the there's a documentary about them this was just a today i learned on the front page of reddit And I think the documentary about them came out a couple of years ago. So there is a documentary you can check out,
Starting point is 01:01:31 but it's yeah, it's dope. And human existence is wild. We take it for granted. Woo. It's all we need. And then there is a physicist and his student believe they have squared the math.
Starting point is 01:01:46 So they're already, you've got the professor and the young person. So you already have the back to the future, Doc Brown, Marty vibes. But they think that they squared the math of how, like you, how time travel
Starting point is 01:02:05 can be possible. My question is, is that even possible or is this some kind of coked out idea? We're like, we fucking squared the math, man, on fucking time travel. That's all? This is all we were waiting for?
Starting point is 01:02:20 What does that even mean? Theoretically worked out how it could work? Yeah. Basically, it was theoretically possible in uh according to einstein's theories but nobody had ever like done the math to make it work they've done the math to make it work but then when they give a hypothetical scenario of like you know philosophically how it's possible like it doesn't really make sense but i think that's like the problem is that there's not uh speaking of thalamic bridges i feel like there's not a bridge between like people who are just next level like scientific mathematical thinkers and like the people who can like put those thoughts into like words that people can understand because so like this is their uh description of like
Starting point is 01:03:13 how it would be possible they're saying so the the thought experiment they used is if you go back in time to stop covet 19 from happening you have then made it so that there's not a event in the future and so you're like obviating your need to go back in time in the first place and their explanation for that paradox is but you might catch it while you're uh doing it so like while you're curing it so you become uh like the first patient it's just like a completely insufficient uh and like dumb explanation so i don't know if it's them not doing a good job explaining it or the author of this article doing a bad job of like explaining it or understanding it but i think the only version of time travel that makes sense to me is one that involves like the infinite parallel universes where it's all i don't know like the the idea that there just has to be
Starting point is 01:04:22 one reality and like that there is no free will and we're all just inevitably going back to this timeline where COVID-19 happened seems like a pretty... That is a back-to-the-future level misunderstanding of how the time-space continuum would actually work. I mean, if they could make the math of this workout, I feel like they should really just work on this vaccine. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, yeah, that would be helpful.
Starting point is 01:04:56 They're like, well, that's not really our space. I was kind of the cool professor. This guy, we would just kind of hang out. He liked good music, smoked weed, played Tony Hawk, and kind of were like, yeah like hey man what if we could go back in time kind of worked on it but i mean that yeah there's so i mean i i they i was following them up until the point of that paradox where the paradox is like sure i get like i see what you're saying and they'll if we're looking very linearly like well then that's not there then why do you even go back in time to prevent the thing from happening but then what's free will what isn't the so many more
Starting point is 01:05:30 questions all to say uh i don't i'm trying to think of what i would would you go back in time not to change anything because we know how that goes just to visit just to peep something real quick it could even be like five years ago i would go to peep something sure but like i wouldn't go back to change anything sure sure like what would you want to see like what's something you were like ah damn i wish i could have saw that for me it's jfk oh of course it is the new york airport just like when it was being built like such a dope airport now uh the assassination i just want to where would you put yourself uh to really observe that's a good question i'd probably be like on on the grassy knoll uh oh just to just to eliminate that just to know for sure yeah and
Starting point is 01:06:19 i'd just be watching the follow-up card to watch the Secret Service agent lick off that accidental shot. I like that you're going back in history to solve these conspiracy theories. Right. And then come back and literally... Literally nobody
Starting point is 01:06:39 believes any... You're like, no, no, I literally saw it. I saw it, dude. I saw it. Yeah, and I like that I'm not saving them. I'm just going back to be like, see, I told you, bro. Yeah. You're just like trying to be like, oh, I won the bet.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Right. The only difference is now there's like some guy on the grassy knoll with a smug smile on his face. That's me. Well, JFK is like being brutally murdered right and then you're then you're implicated in you're like this fucking guy knew the whole fucking time look at this yeah and then you come back and they're like um what's up killer guy from the jfk thing right yeah oh. Oh, man. Maybe tell Lee Harvey Oswald
Starting point is 01:07:26 to, you know... Actually, that's probably not what I should do with my time. Don't interact, Jack. You can only keep. Don't do anything else. Don't shift things. You gotta let it happen.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Just keep a family photo of myself because that's the only thing that matters. That's the only implication that matters is my family and how how it affects me in particular right because you're you know when i'm there to be at front row in dallas uh when the president is assassinated i think of damn i wish my kids and wife were here to see this that's right. Also, nobody, after anything, like any time travel back in time, you immediately affect everybody who is,
Starting point is 01:08:12 every child who's conceived from that point forward just because that's such a minute change of when, I don't know. Yeah. Anyways, time travel. That's what this podcast is about now because everything else is so fucked up. Yeah, the present is so gnarly.
Starting point is 01:08:34 It's like, all right, what future path are you going to? Where are you going in the past? Let's escape. Let's escape. Escape to the past, escape to the future, escape to a skateboardateboard in Idaho. Irene, it's been so awesome having you. Thanks so much for having me.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Where can people find you and follow you? Yeah, you can find me on Instagram and Twitter at Irene underscore two. That's T-U, my last name. Easiest way. Boom. And is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying? I love Aparna Nancherla's Twitter. I always think she's so funny.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Yeah. And she tweeted something during the debate that said, This debate is unfortunately between a steamroller with no operator and a Roomba that got stuck in a corner. game roller with no operator and a Roomba that got stuck in a corner. She had another one of my favorite debates, debate tweets where she was like, drink every time, all the time.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Yeah, I saw that one too. Right. Fun drinking game. Miles, where can people find you and follow you? And what's a tweet you've been enjoying? You can find me Twitter,
Starting point is 01:09:44 Instagram, at miles of gray. Also, my other podcast for 20 day fiance if you like 90 day fiance stop by for some wicked takes from sophia alexandra and i uh some tweets that i like that i was able to look at uh one from at reductress it says remember tom cruise and katie Holmes daughter. I'm her babysitter and need help finding her stupid. And then there's another one. That's so dumb. That's an aggressive turn. I love those.
Starting point is 01:10:21 I love those headlines. Great. And then another one is from at MUKE10101 quote tweeting this thing. Somebody tweeted a side-by-side of a pizza
Starting point is 01:10:35 that you would get, like a Neapolitan pizza in Italy and a pizza you'd get from Pizza Hut. And this person tweeted, why does Italian pizza look so bad? It seems uneven and disproportionate whereas american pizza is far more balanced in its design and texture and like yes one is fucking handmade with much better ingredients and yes one is shitted out of a factory for someone to just warm up in a super oven real quick and then this person's quote tweet was americans are brainwashed
Starting point is 01:11:02 to the most fundamental level and it really is that kind of true and just like this you couldn't even look at a handmade like delicious looking item like oh no it's all like spooky that's unbelievable a couple tweets i've been enjoying harrison tweeted during the debate ah this is tough I like them both oh yeah I saw that tweet too it's just like so Super Producer Anna Hosni
Starting point is 01:11:35 had one of my favorite comments after the thing which is like that was great both of them did so well no problems here no problems at all and Aparna's tweet was actually, debate drinking game. Drink every time, all the time. I butchered it before.

And, you know, I guess that little Blood Orange take on it,
Starting point is 01:12:41 the treatment is wonderful. They've slowed down Kevin Parker's vocals, so it's a little chopped and screwed-ish, and just, you know, delivers an entirely new vibe for that track. So, yeah, this is a good one. Borderline, Blood Orange Remix. All right. Well,
