What is something from your search history, recent search history, that kind of lets us into your world, gives us an idea of who you are as the king of Queens? So the last three searches were 69. And those-
Starting point is 00:06:07 How to? How to 69. Just 69. Just randomly searching the number 69? Yeah. And then I forgot what this was when I looked at my Google. It just said,
Starting point is 00:06:18 hello neighbor, scary clown doll. And that was, I was on Facebook and a friend of mine was posting about a scary clown doll that's called the i was on facebook and a friend of mine was posting about a scary clown doll that's called the hello neighbor clown plush and um i just googled it wait what is it it's it it's a scary plush toy that i think was uh it looked really spooky so i googled it hello neighbor oh that face yeah yeah nah Does that say anything about me? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Well, no. Are you into clowns? I'm scared of clowns. So you're coulrophobic? My family was murdered by a clown. Oh, wow. Yeah. So since then, I've been super scared of it.
Starting point is 00:06:56 That's great. Yeah. That's a healthy fear, then. Yeah, yeah. Well, shout out to your family. No, they're dead. Okay, well. Don't shout them out.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Okay, well, rest in rings in the Ringling Brothers Circus. So, Barry, tell me something. What's something that you think is overrated? Overrated? I just started watching the Jersey Shore reunion show. Okay. That was kind of, and I think it sucks. I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:07:20 It's garbage. It's so garbage. I like the original, and now I'm just like, it just feels like it's a lot of sad stuff. Prison Mike. Yeah, him going to prison, and then they're just a little old. It's like hanging out with your uncles in a cool Miami house. Right, right, right. And ants.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It's just, I don't know. It's a little overrated. Yeah. Well, I think the magic of the original run of the show, and you tell me if you agree, but I think it was just sort of like that. We were seeing these people who were authentically themselves who had yet to be corrupted by their own fame. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So you're like, oh, of course. Like, we're just seeing them do themselves, like maybe an exaggerated version because they have cameras around. But you could tell they weren't sort of self-conscious or, you know, because it's an hour of, you know, when people like old comics go on the road and they're just like, do the joke, do the. Right, right, right. It's like, do the character. And they're all just kind of doing the character that they had.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Right. Yeah. And their faces are terrifying. I know, because everybody, you know, that plastic surgery. It's like, come on, leave that alone. Y'all are so beautiful. I mean, I'm watching Floribama Shore. That's the New Jersey Shore. Is that the way? I saw two episodes and I was are so beautiful. I mean, I'm watching Floribama Shore. That's the New Jersey Shore.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Is that the way? I saw two episodes and I was a little bit of... Floribama is lit. Floribama? Okay, so the first two episodes were a little bit dry. Well, actually, no. I feel like the second episode, it really kind of got lit. They are kind of a little more elevated simply because, you know, social media age.
Starting point is 00:08:41 So they know they're on reality TV. However, they all have some problems like right that's what you want and it's very fun like first of all they all have fun spellings of their names courtney with the k and o uh u and i in there somehow oh like k-o-u-r-t-n-i yes and she's crazy she punches holes in walls she gets real drunk like yeah they know how to cast them they do but And I mean, they take all your phone and shit, so you really are kind of back in the dark age.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And they get you drunk at like seven in the morning. Do you watch The Bachelor? It's too classy for me. I've been rewatching Flavor of Love. That's super producer Anna Hosni.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Have you seen Party Down South? No. It's like redneck Jersey Shore. Oh, wow, yeah. It's these awful people just getting like blackout drunk every night. Wow. And fighting each other. It's these awful people just getting blackout drunk every night and fighting each other. It's really fun.
Starting point is 00:09:28 What was that one that was in West Virginia, I feel like, where somebody passed away? Oh, they had to take that off the air. On MTV? Yeah. That was it. That was it. Buck Wild. Buck Wild.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Oh, Buck Wild. No, yeah. It was Buck Wild. Yeah, I know. They were- Woo. Woo. They went a little too dark.
Starting point is 00:09:43 How did he die? I think it was somebody had a drug overdose or something. He died at a party. Yeah. They were going Woo! That was a, they went a little too dark. How did he die? I think it was somebody had a drug overdose or something. He died at a party. Yeah. They were going ham. Of Buck Wilderness. Damn.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And yeah, it is a bummer because you're like, damn, you guys are just like shitty parents or spouses or they just, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:56 they've been ruined. I mean, did you think that they was going to have an upswing? I just think they've worked through their problems. They're not experiencing
Starting point is 00:10:04 problems in the moment. They're kind of more evolved and it's like, who wants to just watch people that are kind of okay? And Eve just hanging out. And when Snooki straight up poisoned that woman with alcohol, that's when I was like, nah, this show is fucking disgusting. You're actually trying to poison
Starting point is 00:10:19 somebody. I didn't even get there. She gave this girl so much vodka that she ended up just being like I probably got straight up alcohol poisoning and was like a mess and they were just like giggling. They were like let's just get her super fucked up so she can't do anything. What? Yeah it was bad.
Starting point is 00:10:35 So she's dead? A controversy like dead. No she luckily was fine but it was just like one of those moments where you watch it and you're like this show's gone too far. Yeah, you're also way too old for this. Yeah, I think so. Oh, man. What's something that is underrated? White noise
Starting point is 00:10:52 machines. I've been sleeping with a white noise machine. It's amazing. Wow. Nice. The one from Brookstone? Rain? No, no, no. I can't afford that. I got like Amazon like 20 bucks. Is it me on YouTube making white noise? That's the side hustle. I have a hand cranked like bicycle pedal that has a rain stick on one end.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And once I get that going really good. Eight minutes of sound. You got to try it guys. I have no, I used to sleep with one because like when I was finishing college, I was just having trouble like sleeping because the economy was so bad. And I was like, I don't even know if. Is that you stay up late at night thinking about the economy well yeah the Dow Jones just runs through my mind I'm like yeah I'm like I've got all these tea bills yeah and you had a fun time in college yeah it was the deficits I gotta go home yeah there's a deficit
Starting point is 00:11:41 and then yeah then I would just take a bunch of Xanax and then not know what happened but yeah I realized I had one that like NASA scientists had designed it. So there would be like neuroacoustics going through it, like theta waves or alpha waves to kind of keep your brain in a flow as you sleep. But now I actually, I just have that app. There's like an app that I use. Yeah, I used to do that. It just wasn't enough. Didn't fill the room.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Yeah, yeah. I'm also, I wanted to talk about this on the way here. I thought about it. I'm into mom rock from the 90s. Do you guys ever listen to like Cindy Lauper? Lauper? I've not heard that pronunciation. Lauper?
Starting point is 00:12:16 Lauper. Cindy Lauper? Yeah. I thought it was Lauper. I mean, it's spelled Lauper, but I remember as a kid, the first time I read it, and I'm like, this can't be Cindy Lauper. Yeah. Like songs like Back on the Chain Gang.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Okay. I don't know. Just stuff moms were into. Who's another mom rock artist? Janet Jackson. We're calling that mom rock now? Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:12:34 What's the last great song Janet Jackson has had? Oh, come on. Why you got to go there? She had that song with J. Cole. Yeah, but nobody knows. It was about six. I think her last great one was in the 90s, right? All her songs are about six. Yeah, I mean. She doesn't have with J. Cole. Yeah, but nobody knows. It was about sex. I think her last great one was in the 90s, right? All her songs are about sex.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah, I mean. She doesn't have one in a while. My first thing I ever bought was Janet Jackson. I'm telling you, the J. Cole one was good. It was? Yes, it was fairly recent. I don't remember that. I'll look it up.
Starting point is 00:12:59 One of my favorites is Got2List. Can we play songs on here? What? We sometimes do, yeah. Okay, so that's cool. Mom Rock. I gotta look into that. That shows you how old we're getting.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Where like, I was just like, what do you mean that's Mom Rock? Then I'm a mom? Yeah, you're so old, man. Yeah, well, you know. Oh, it's called No Sleep. Everybody look it up. That's a good little romance and song. No sleep.
Starting point is 00:13:21 You know how it goes? Till Brooklyn. Till Brooklyn. I never sleep. Tell me something it goes? Till Brooklyn. Till Brooklyn. I never sleep. Tell me something. What is a myth? What is something that people are getting wrong that you know that they're getting wrong? Some myth they're living.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Just shatter some minds right now. Yes. You know, I wanted to talk about the JFK assassination. I don't know if that's too much. No, preach on, brother. I've been in between projects the last few weeks, and I've just really got obsessed with JFK. He was killed by the CIA. People don't talk about that.
Starting point is 00:13:53 So you have the CIA. Okay, that's interesting. You know? We have the one that Jack O'Brien. That's not really a myth. I had another one I forgot. Well, Jack O'Brien always likes to say that it was actually a Secret Service member behind him who errantly shot his gun and they were covering for him because he heard one thing. And he's I don't know that Jack would be in here telling you all kinds of shit.
Starting point is 00:14:13 And then we would play the Curb Your Enthusiasm conspiracy theory music that we always play. So he had to finish the job because he accidentally shot something? No, I think that that fatal shot actually came from a Secret Service member's rifle. Whoa. That fell behind and errantly shot him. Yeah. That's crazy. That's an even wilder one.
Starting point is 00:14:32 So yeah, if you want to really take that rabbit hole down. Well, yeah. No, then there's weird stuff about the black umbrella guy. Do you know about that? It was a sunny day and there was only one person on the route with an umbrella and it was at the exact position where he was shot. Really? And he had a black umbrella and he was dressed all in black.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Interesting. Isn't that odd? Could have been Farnsworth Bentley, Puff Daddy's old attache. It's actually Farnsworth Bentley. It was Farnsworth. He killed him. That's like the myth I really wanted to know. The umbrella man, Farnsworth Bentley.
Starting point is 00:15:01 My auntie was in the video. What do you mean? The JFK assassination? Yeah, when JFK got shot, there's a little black lady who grabs her cheeks and that's my auntie. in the video what do you mean the JFK assassination yeah when JFK got shot there's a little black lady who grabs her cheeks and that's my auntie
Starting point is 00:15:09 I'm from Dallas she grabbed her cheeks the cheek lady like her yeeks or her cheeks what like this yeah it's her cheeks
Starting point is 00:15:17 not her ass cheeks oh no yeah my granny is actually twerking in the JFK assassination video get with it y'all yeah the Zabruder the Zabruder film is actually really lit if you play it to twerking in the JFK assassination video. Get with it, y'all.
Starting point is 00:15:27 The Zapruder film is actually really lit if you play it to back that ass up. Have you played it to back that ass up? It's wild. Okay, cool. Let's get into the show. So we found out yesterday morning that old Nark Suckerbag basically got his shit together and he was trying to show us that he's looking out for us
Starting point is 00:15:44 this time and saying that they detected some bad pages. Saying that they had removed pages that had more than 290,000 followers. The most followed Facebook pages were Azatlan Warriors, Black Elevation, Mindful Being, and Resisters. And the company said that pages... Yeah, we'll get into that. Said the pages ran 150 ads for a total of approximately eleven thousand dollars um and they were saying that yes this is part of their campaign essentially to further get people to identify with a side so it's easier to
Starting point is 00:16:16 begin dividing and conquering from the inside uh now when you look though at the pages right like you were even like what black elevation it was a stuff of like Huey Newton or like other people that were just sort of like black leaders. I think it's meant to basically get people who identify with any kind of black liberation movement or something to further kind of put themselves in that side. So I'm sure for your disinformation campaigns, it's easier for you to target people based on their likes or whatever. But then the other ones are kind of interesting. So he was playing both sides. Yeah, always. I mean, and even in 2016, that was the case too.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Like they had- Like creating fake conflicts. Yeah, there was one called Blacktivist. That was a Russian made page that was meant to just, it was showing a lot of police brutality videos and essentially just stoke the rage on both sides to get it to a fever pitch. But when you look at some of the stuff, like Resisters is one of the pages, right? And like in that one, it was, you know, it's just a sort of a resist Trump
Starting point is 00:17:09 kind of normal Facebook group. And one of the pages, like Facebook was showing, like, here's some of the posts that we took down from the groups that we had to take down. And this one from the Resisters was just said, women do not have to, and it was a bullet pointed list, be thin, cook for you, have long hair, wear makeup, be feminine, be graceful, have sex
Starting point is 00:17:28 with you, shave, diet, be fashionable, wear pink, love men, listen to your bullshit. And so... I kind of agree with that. Yeah, right. So it was a little bit like, okay... Like, are they going overboard? Right. They were like, look, we took down some conspiracy groups. Have y'all heard of this bitch Susan G. Coleman?
Starting point is 00:17:44 She's been out here passing out ribbons and shit. We got rid of her ass on Facebook. I don't know what cure she racing for. But we over that. She better be racing for the door. We cancel her. Like, what? Are y'all looking at this shit?
Starting point is 00:17:55 Then another one was Mindful Being, which was just sort of like a trippy spiritual kind of group. And this one was like, you know, that like weird psychedelic art that fucking people sell it like Venice Boardwalk. And it just says, we must unlearn what we have learned because a conditioned mind cannot comprehend the infinite. And I mean, that is really the biggest stretch of our democracy. They're just like basic bitches. They were like, Russia was like, we're going to be basic on Facebook. Or something. I mean, another one was going to be annoying. Another one was like a like a confront fascism, just basically a counter protest to the Unite the Right rally that might happen on the on August 10th, 12th around the Charlottesville anniversary in D.C.
Starting point is 00:18:33 So it was interesting. Like a lot of people were just sort of like, oh, yeah, good thing they took these dangerous ass images down that like they weren't as you know, because the last one, it was like more sort of in your face, right? It would be like Jesus and fucking Satan arm wrestling. And like, and Satan was like, if I win, Hillary wins. And then Jesus is like, not if I can do something about it. He has like a MAGA hat on. Like, Lord, I get. They're oiled up.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah, no, it really was. It was wild. Like also. It's like pseudo erotic. Hey, my guy, Beezlebub, he's been working in the gym because fucking those biceps were jacked at him. I've been with Satan shooting in the gym. Satan's going to fuck Jesus.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Yeah, like, they're so hot. And, yeah, so it was a little bit odd because those were a little more, like, overt propaganda. Yeah. Or other ones are just like, Hillary has, like, this, you know, underground pedophile network. Right. But I guess at the very least, it's good to know. Well, you know, I don't want to say on this show.
Starting point is 00:19:28 So are they saying that they need... But she might or might not. Yeah, I don't understand. Like, what does this do? It just divides people? Well, yeah, I think that's the biggest thing is that the more you can get people to feel like if there's a binary choice,
Starting point is 00:19:39 if like, am I on this side or that side? The more entrenched people are going to get and it's going to be harder for us to recover or be able to see past that. If you give people two choices, they will always fight each other. Right. More choices makes them think clearer. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Which is why Cheesecake Factory- Two choices is us versus them. Cheesecake Factory, no Cheesecake Factory. Yeah. Cheesecake Factory, you just go, fuck this place. Roll the dice. Yeah, it's too many things. So are they saying that these pages were operated by Russians?
Starting point is 00:20:05 Well, they have a reason to believe it because the same tactics or the way that they were saying it was like inauthentic behavior activity that they were creating. Like it was the same sort of game plan or methodology that was used in 2016. And I don't know if it's Russia. Right. They're just saying it's like these people that wanted to. Yeah, but it's most like anything else, like where it started through Romania or like Macedonia or something. But it's the GRU. So it's like the same location.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yeah, they're just being smarter because the last time also they paid in rubles for their ads. So that was a clear thing. So now they're paying in like Canadian and American dollars. I mean, it's crazy, but is it illegal? Is it just kind of fucked up? Well, what they've done to influence our elections,, they kind of deemed that it was unethical. And Facebook has really tried to come back and make sanctions only because
Starting point is 00:20:49 they ass got lit up in court. Yeah, well, they've had to do something. And they lost like $18 billion last week. $123. Really? Overnight. $123. I thought, oh, maybe Zuckerberg himself lost $18 billion.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Yeah, he lost that, but the company itself lost $120 billion. Yeah, the stock went down. That's worth four Twitters. So is it like they make these pages to try to garner a certain demographic, and then during election season they start using that? Because you don't want to like a page you can see everything that they post, so then they switch it up?
Starting point is 00:21:16 No, it's just more to create as much chaos as possible, because the more you have people thinking, well, I'm on this side fighting Black Lives Matter people, and I'm on Black Lives Matter side fighting these fucking fascists or whatever you're there it's it's gonna be you know their whole point is to be as divisive as possible create as much division as possible when really we know who the fucking enemy is is the fucking billionaires at the top not each other they got us fucked up fighting each other when look at who owns all the wealth and that's why who's a greater threat to you isis or your crippling medical debt? Right. And then who do you assign that to?
Starting point is 00:21:45 Immediate threat. So, you know, that's my moment of wokeness. Good for you, Facebook. I'm glad y'all haven't caught my pages yet. Mail cash. Mail me cash. Y'all keep liking my page.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Mail me cash. Barry Rothbard on Facebook. Who's on Facebook still? Like old people. It's just our dad's worst friends that are all just like yelling at each other. I'm gonna start with you. TJ Miller. I'm gonna draft start with you. TJ Miller.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I'm going to draft one of those scary Facebook messages, the chain messages. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I want to see if I can get one popping. You probably could. Honestly, you could. Because I'm tired of my old ass uncle sending me that shit. Right. Honestly, I just want to play.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Watch out. Don't sit on those movie theater seats. You might get AIDS. Somebody put a needle on there. Is that true? That was like a shit from AOL. Yeah, my mom used to say that. I'm going to write one. Someone write a piece. And tuna. She thought tuna fish gave you AIDS. Somebody put a needle on me. Is that true? That was like a shit from AOL. Yeah, my mom used to say that. I'm going to write one.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Someone write a piece. She thought tuna fish gave you AIDS. Really? Yeah. Tuna fish. Yeah. Interesting. We'll explore that later.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I just want to play Farmville. Right. That's all I want to do. And then be left alone. Yeah. Well, I think one of the things is because Facebook has caught so much heat and like conservatives are like, you're censoring our free speech. When it's like, hold on, you have people out here calling gun violence victims crisis actors
Starting point is 00:22:47 and shit like that to completely misinform and obscure actual world events. That should be off the fucking internet because that's harmful and it doesn't help anyone aside from creating, you know, sort of inoculating your followers against reason or to be, you know, more receptible to whatever narrative you want to give them. Yeah, but you can't – the problem is, I agree, you can't take lying off the internet, though. How do you do that? Yeah, well, at the very least, you can get it off Facebook. You can get it off Facebook at the very least.
Starting point is 00:23:14 I mean, we'll never control people's sort of impulse to do that. But I think at the very least, if you're at the levers of Facebook, then you can be like, this is harmful. Or you have to kind of make it clear that these aren't real people anymore. Like Facebook is not like, that's a person who is a real person. Like we're just kind of chaos. We're just MySpace now. So come here if you really feel like it. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Because you're pretending that these are real people. Well, I think a lot of older people, though, who that's their connection to news and other things like that. I think younger people might be a little more savvy and still use it just as general communication it's gonna be caution yeah but i think yeah on one side because republicans have pressed them so hard it's like a lot of these pages are more left-leaning i feel like it's also showing them they're like hey man we also caught some bad stuff that was meant to like get liberals excited you know it was just all the stuff that's anti-liberal stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Yeah, it seems like they really kind of came out to be like, look, Trump supporters, we shut down black elevation. Yeah, it's like, hey, but it was fake, so whatever. We hated the Ghostbusters reboot. It's like, wait, what? Like, guys, we're on everybody's side. Whoa, okay. It's not just about Trump.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Yeah, but the problem is there's no like cool young progressives that are still going on Facebook every day. It's like kind of older Trump supporters. I mean, I'll be on there.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Really? Yeah, but I also used to make fake MySpace accounts. I do. I've been creating fake MySpace accounts to affect the election.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Still, right? It's not working as well as I would have thought. Fake bans. I just create fake bans. The microwaves. Trump is in my top eight. Well, hey, I have a question for you, Lacey.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Remember, was that last summer, two summers ago, when the Lemonade album came out and everyone was like, who the fuck is Becky with the good hair? When Beyonce was basically letting the world know that Jay-Z cheated on her with some woman with the good hair. Oh, my wife got so mad about that. We're still not over it. This on the run tour, I'd be like, I'm not trying to see this little old man. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Get his ass out of here. Yeah. And who is dressing him? Child, he over here shopping in Migos' closet. Wearing those silk shirts and shit. It's not okay. Yeah, so you were telling me Amber Rose thinks she knows. Tell me why Amber Rose is suddenly.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Amber Rose of all people. And also, you just have to know the origin of this because just even how this conversation came about, I was like, I'm so confused. So Amber Rose was on Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's podcast. I'm not even going to say the name. Shout out to 2005. I can't promote this bullshit. So she said on the podcast, which how did these people even link up? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Cocaine parties? No, it's like digital media celebrities. They all have like the same PR people. Okay, well, one day y'all catch me on spencer print and heidi montez um so she said on the podcast i definitely think that gwyneth paltrow is becky with the good hair okay what i feel like she was the one who was like effing jay-z right they were friends and then you don't see gwyneth paltrow with beyonce anymore and it just seems like she was the one who was like effing Jay-Z, right? They were friends, and then you don't see Gwyneth Paltrow with Beyonce anymore, and it just seems like she was the one fucking Jay-Z. And that Gwyneth lost her husband,
Starting point is 00:26:32 but Beyonce is still with Jay. Damn, Gwyneth? Gwyneth. Can you imagine? I don't want to imagine that. How old is Gwyneth? I mean, probably Jay-Z's age. How old is she?
Starting point is 00:26:43 I mean, she looks amazing for her age. She does. She's not a human being, I don't think. Oh, she's 45? She's 45. She'll be 46 this year. Oh, she looks real good. She's great.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Well, when you got all those yoni eggs and putting placenta on your face, you're going to look like you're 12 years old still. I'm going to have all infant's blood on my face every day. Yeah. Did you guys yoni egg this morning? Oh, I'm yoning right now. I'm fully yoni egged. I'm fully yoned. I'm yoning out now. I'm fully yoniagged. I'm fully yoned.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I'm yoning out of control right now. About to break this thing. You guys up to four or five? How many of you guys do? I've got three in there. Are they levels? They're levels two or nothing? I'm a pack a day.
Starting point is 00:27:17 It's a pack a day habit. Pack a day. 12 pack. They're just shattered. I'm just farting out dust. It's interesting because everyone always thought that this was Rachel Roy. Right. And I'm pretty sure we probably still think it's Rachel Roy.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Rachel Roy or Rachel Ray? See, that was the issue that the Hive had. Okay. Is that everybody like, the Hive was like, fuck this. We don't give a fuck. We gonna get every Rachel. So like Rachel Ray is just a nice little cooking white lady. And she was like, hey guys, I got a new cheesecake recipe.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And it was like, nah, fuck you, bitch. You try to fuck Beyonce, man, we gonna kill you. I can't believe Rachel Ray fucked Jay-Z. That's the story of the century. That'll break the internet. She got so much harassment for that. I felt bad for little Rachel Ray. You started a press circle for my sis because the high was not taking it.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Because saying Becky with the good hair, to me, Becky would mean either a white woman or maybe a light-skinned woman because you said good hair because I don't think you would just refer to a white woman or maybe a light skinned woman because you said good hair because I don't think you would just refer to a white woman with the white woman with good hair. Yeah we don't call white ladies good hair. Good hair would be like you're mixed or you're black you know what I mean? Rachel Ray has good hair. Rachel Ray has amazing hair. She does. It's very shiny. Very healthy.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Great dog food. Rachel Ray Nutrish. Brought to you by Rachel Ray Nutrish. She puts dog food in her hair. But then when I look at Rachel Roy she's half Dutch half Bengali Indian. So I could see how maybe that could give a little more credence to the naming, the label of Becky with good hair. Because also we know the most lit weave hair comes out of India. Yeah. Or Brazil.
Starting point is 00:28:38 That Virgin Remy. Oh, really? Does Brazil have the lit Virgin Remy? They do. I purchased mostly from Brazil. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's very fresh. What do they call theirs?
Starting point is 00:28:46 I feel like they just cut it off the woman right before I got it. Right there. Yeah. Wait, what do you call the Brazilian? What's the equivalent of the Virgin Remy from India? Oh, it's just Brazilian. They just call that Virgin Brazilian? Yeah, it's just all virgin, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Wow. Yeah, I love Brazilian hair. And this is Weave Extension Talk. No, but yeah, so they were attacking Rachel Ray for a while, too, so it's funny that you brought her up. But I don't know if I could see Gwyneth Paltrow fucking Jay-Z. That imagery is not appealing. I think it's hot.
Starting point is 00:29:12 I could see it. I don't know. I think it's hot. I think it's pretty hot. It makes sense for if you're- I'm picturing it right now, guys. I think I need to go to the bathroom. If it's Chris Martin.
Starting point is 00:29:22 I poo when I'm hot, when I get turned on. Oh, wow. Me, too. All right. Well, hey, brothers in arms. If it's Chris Martin I poo when I'm hot Oh wow When I get turned on Oh you Me too Alright Well hey Brothers in arms They have I could feel like
Starting point is 00:29:30 If For cheating right Like because Jay-Z Is the opposite of Chris Martin That it can make sense From that standpoint Where they're like I just need something different
Starting point is 00:29:37 How'd you say that they broke up Jay-Z's the opposite of Chris Martin That's fun That probably is very accurate That's a fun game Yeah Thinking of who's the opposite of people Chris Martin Yeah Chris Martin Jay-Z Who's the opposite of Chris Martin. That probably is very accurate. That's a fun game. Thinking of who's the opposite of people.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Chris Martin. Jay-Z. Who's the opposite of Barack Obama? One of the Olsen twins. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's like the complete opposite.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Tommy Lahren. I think Tommy Lahren is the opposite. Oh, no. Because she's still kind of cute. She's cute. Barack is fine. Have you seen her before photos? Yeah. Oh, that five head before fox news
Starting point is 00:30:06 she looked like gandalf she looked like she was out here searching for rings honey okay well uh on that let's take a quick break we'll be right back definitely caruana galicia was a maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

Starting point is 00:34:06 cultura podcast network on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you stream podcasts and we're back so uh we knew i think on monday we were talking about how the night before on sunday trump was really going crazy on the Twitter, really releasing his Twitter fingers. And people were like, I wonder what was going on. Well, that we were speculating. That's because Paul Manafort's trial was about to start. And they may be that as something to do it. And then Rudy Giuliani was out here just fucking up left and right.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Burning stories and shit. Yeah. Well, you know, that's that's how I label people. You know what I mean? Trump has his Giuliani. Oh, yeah. I'm here. you know, that's how I label people. You know what I mean? Trump has his. Yeah, Giuliani. Oh, yeah. I'm here.
Starting point is 00:34:47 I'm here for the heavyweight. Rudy Giulianis. Ooh. Ooh. Yes. Rudy Giulianis. Anna, write that one down. Write that one down. Write it down.
Starting point is 00:34:55 We got to record that. Record that. And we're going to retake that before the segment. And we're back. So now we see last night, or this morning, Trump had all kinds of tweets. And I just kind of want to break down each tweet to sort of indicate what this is sort of about, because there's a few things giving Donald Trump trouble right now in terms of his legal jeopardy because he's not a good boy. First, off top, he just fires off a tweet about Agent Peter Strzok, who's the FBI agent who tweeted or who messaged Lisa Page, I think is her name, who's an FBI lawyer about. He's like, we can't like this guy.
Starting point is 00:35:32 We have to stop this guy. Meaning talking about Trump. And then the Republicans just took that one snippet, even though he said all this other stuff around it, to say the FBI was against Donald Trump the whole time. When really that's the FBI doesn't work like that unless they're trying to kill civil rights leaders. But so here's the thing. Yeah, them too. They all work together. So he goes, FBI agent Peter Strzok on the Mueller team, parenthesis, should have recused
Starting point is 00:35:54 himself on day one. And it's a quote that Alan Dershowitz gave, amazing legal mind. But he said, the FBI was out to stop the election of Donald Trump. He needed an insurance policy. Those are illegal, improper goals trying to influence the election. He should never have been allowed to remain in the FBI while he himself was being investigated. This is a real issue. It won't go into a Mueller report because Mueller is going to protect these guys. Mueller has an interest in creating the illusion of objectivity around this investigation. So again, this is an attack on the muller investigation he's trying to discredit
Starting point is 00:36:25 robert muller and the fbi and it seems like he clearly this is a tweet of somebody who's worried you know you don't just fire this off out of nowhere but this is clearly this is his attempt of being like yo don't listen to robert muller because he's fucking whack anyway it's sort of how i'm distilling that then next up he really starts cranking the volume up on the panic stereo. He says, this is a terrible situation, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop. I love your Trump impression. Oh, I mean, I normally have another one, but I just have to do it like this. This is outraged white guy.
Starting point is 00:36:57 This is a terrible. That's my mark. Okay, we'll do it like this. This is a terrible situation. Anyway. Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our country any further.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Bob Mueller is a totally conflicted and his 17 angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA is the Australian version. But again, he's literally saying Attorney General Jeff Sessions,
Starting point is 00:37:26 stop the fucking investigation. But if, again, he's panicked because he doesn't realize that Rod Rosenstein is the one who's actually overseeing that investigation. So maybe this is him saying- Who's supposedly going to get impeached. Yeah, but not anymore because once everyone else in House leadership
Starting point is 00:37:42 looked at the Freedom Caucuses, like articles of impeachment, they're like, you're angry because they didn't redact sensitive material quick enough and give you information that you had no right having in the first place? Yeah, I don't think we're going to get behind this one. Like, nah, bro, we get it. They only have like a couple votes. They couldn't even get it to a vote.
Starting point is 00:38:00 But at the very least, that impeachment thing is them trying to create some kind of pretext for Donald Trump to be like, well, I just wonder, sometimes I wonder how much would come out, would have to come out for him to, for people to turn on him, on Trump. For them to be like, okay, you did something bad. I don't think, I think anything short of him on a call being like, I want to collude with Russia. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Would be like, people would be like, that's ridiculous. Well, and even then, who knows? Because Rudy Giuliani was out here on Monday being like, collusion isn't a crime. On your podcast? Yeah, yeah, he was. That's crazy. It was me doing my voice, but come on, don't blow up the illusion. We had him on the show.
Starting point is 00:38:37 No, like, yeah, their new legal defense is, well, I mean, collusion isn't a crime. Like, what is that even? So maybe if you did. What is a crime? I mean, what? You're going tousion isn't a crime. Like, what is that even? What is a crime? You're going to say it's a crime? Yeah, no, and that's kind of where they're at sort of rhetorically. We change the law. Law changes all the time. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:38:53 Show me what laws are. Okay, where's your law book? The Ten Commandments? I don't see collusion in there. We just got to start dismantling everything. What is space? What is time? What is an atom? What is the United States? Okay, for real.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Because I think it wasn't even popping that much in the first place. Think about it. Okay, this is all Pangea anyway. So what are we even saying? Thank you. That's where the level of discourse is headed. My family's from Pangea. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:39:21 You're Pangean? I did 23andMe. You were Pangean? I'm a quarter Pangean. Amazing. That's so beautifulangea. Oh, wow. You're Pangean? I did 23andMe. I found out I'm a quarter Pangean. Amazing. Isn't that nuts? That's so beautiful. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Beautiful. I won't participate in that because I give your DNA to the feds. Me too. I don't want to. Nah, bruh. We committing crimes out here. That's bad. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Shout out to the people on Twitter. One person on Twitter was like, I would love to tell you more about why it's dangerous to give your genetic material out. And I was like, yeah, these are good points. But anyway, that's a whole other thing. So, again, we're seeing now. But anyway, that's a whole other thing. So again, we're seeing now that clearly, based off that tweet,
Starting point is 00:39:53 if he's calling for the end of the Russia probe now, that means they must be just, it's getting fucking hot for him. Because obviously he's going to know a little bit more than he leads us on to believe or will let us know what he actually knows. But clearly, this is the actions of somebody who's guilty, right? I mean, how many times does he have to ask before we just end this witch hunt? I know, right?
Starting point is 00:40:13 Just do it. He's the president. Yeah. End the witch hunt. What's the problem here? Yes. Why are we not listening to him? Well, the other thing, too, is like he's then he's using in this tweet of saying Bob Mueller is totally conflicted.
Starting point is 00:40:24 That's not even true i again gugliani was on fox or cnn and he was like well you know muller's totally got all these conflicts of interest and like they're like what what evidence do you have and he's like well i don't know the president seems to know and he's like but if it's what i think it is i would also think it's a conflict of interest and they're like well what is it and he's like i can't say so it's just it's bullshit and also these people have been lying for maybe their whole lives. And how are they still so bad at it? Yeah, they should be much better.
Starting point is 00:40:50 They should be awesome at lying. Have a lie journal like I do. Know your lies. Have like one backup piece of evidence to your lies. Exactly. Well, I think that's the benefit of being like a powerful white man who can lie is because normally you can get away with it. You got to be earlier.
Starting point is 00:41:08 And I'm like, Barry, prove your name is Barry. And he's like, oh, shit, I forgot my ID. Trust me. Fake news. Yeah, it's like the real Barry Rothbard comes in. He's like, hey, guys, you know the podcast? Oh, fuck, Mark, what are you doing here? What did I say?
Starting point is 00:41:21 Yoink. Yeah, I think it's one of those things, too. If you do something and you get away with it over and over and over again, you sort of gaslight yourself into thinking that's how the world works. Right. And now you're coming up against. Yes. It's a different story when you're scheming in New York City and doing all that shit,
Starting point is 00:41:35 doing business deals and stuff like that. But now it's the federal government and the FBI is involved. They're going to do their due diligence. But I mean, they're lying like an eight-year-old who got caught with chocolate on his face. You know, it's like, did you eat chocolate? This is crazy lying. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:50 And again, I think it's because when you're so blatantly guilty, I guess your only defense is to blatantly lie. You know, there's no like gray area about it. So all they have is to be like, no, that's not true. It's just terrifying how far this is going. But yeah, again, when you look at Mueller's shit list, you know who else is on there is Paul Manafort. Oh, God. And his trial started yesterday.
Starting point is 00:42:11 So again, Q Trump with the Manafort tweets. I mean, when these conspiracy theorists are talking about lizard people, they're talking about Manafort. He's like a lizard. He's like a straight up lizard person. Yes. Have you seen the movie Thinner? Yeah. And remember the one dude got the curse?
Starting point is 00:42:24 Is he the old guy who puts the curse on him? Well, no. Remember his one friend turned into a lizard. Remember he was getting all that fucking scales and shit.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I don't know, man. I read Thinner when I was a kid. How crazy is that? You're a dark ass kid. It's like 600 pages. Yeah. And then there was
Starting point is 00:42:38 like a 10 page description of a handjob in the middle of it. Isn't that how he crashed? You know that? That's how he crashed, yeah. Isn't the thing was like he was getting a handjob while driving and he killed the gypsy woman.
Starting point is 00:42:49 It's like a 10-page description of how it goes. How do you describe a handjob in 10 pages? Just so many adjectives. It's so erotic. Just a lot of, you know. You know, that means Stephen King has probably never had a handjob. Yeah. He's like, I'm going to just devote 10 pages to what I think it would be like.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Yeah, I was like eight reading that. I was like, what is this? I don't understand how that works. And it ends with a pedestrian versus motor vehicle accident. You're like, oh! This is so dark. See, that's what we need to give the kids for abstinence.
Starting point is 00:43:14 We just read them the 10 page thinner handjob. That ends in a car wreck and you get cursed thinner. So anyway, the Manafort trial starts. And boy, I would be tweeting like Donald Trump too if I had these weak ass arguments that his defense team has. So Trump, he just starts tweeting out, Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole, and many other highly prominent and respected political leaders. He worked for me for a very short time. Why didn't government tell me that he was under investigation? These old charges have nothing to do with collusion.
Starting point is 00:43:44 A hoax. Now again, before he was like, I don't really know Paul Manafort. And now he's like, this guy's a fine dude. And again, he thinks that putting his resume up is an actual defense for his fraud and money laundering in addition to work on behalf of like Putin puppets like Viktor Yanukovych and other evil motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:44:03 So again, flimsy defense that you can only point to Bob Dole and Ronald Reagan to be like, and see, that's why he's not guilty of this other shit now. Here's the thing is it's not about what Manafort did. They got Manafort so that he could testify against Trump. Right. The charges were like, let's just find charges. They don't care about getting Manafort. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:21 This isn't about him being like guilty or not guilty. This is about him being like, hey, we'll give you less jail time. You're probably going to be in jail the rest of your life. You're going to jail either way, yeah. But what about if we give you 10 less years than that and you take down the president? And that's the whole point. This is like the wire terms. Like he's a corner boy and the president is like the distraught.
Starting point is 00:44:37 This trial doesn't matter. None of that matters. He's going to testify. Because your man is like Stringer Bell. He's like, yo, one of those D-boys, like they're upstanding young men. Yeah. You see how they throw in that work across the street and that tennis ball? What you talking about? Have you seen an arm on a kid like that?
Starting point is 00:44:50 Ain't nobody out here selling crack. We just all hang out outside. Playing catch. We playing catch. We dab each other up a lot. Oh, no. I haven't seen The Wire. You guys ruined it.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Oh, wow. It's been a crack. We ruined the whole thing. The whole thing. The whole description of the wire. But it's interesting, though, because President Trump has used his office more than any president in history to validate everything that he said. Instead of, like, coming with facts or receipts or anything, he's like, I'm the president. Believe me.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Also, I've never heard the term witch hunt used in a situation where the person wasn't super guilty. Right. Yes. I feel like every witch hunt except for real witch hunts was actually right made in good cause hey look this is a different era we're in and again i i just have to point to like the start of this trial as i was reading about like you know they made their opening uh remarks statements i guess uh for the defense and prosecution so the prosecution just they just they were just pointing to all of his money.
Starting point is 00:45:46 They're like, you know, he's been paid like maybe $60 million to fuck around in the elections of oligarchs over in Eastern Europe. You know, how he has all these houses and cars. They fucking actually held up like shit, like extravagant things. He bought like a fucking ostrich jacket that was $15,000. Yes. Just to be like, this guy's a fucking scammer, finesser. He's a goof. You know, it's actually easier than you think to make your own.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Really? Ostrich jacket? You got to just kill an ostrich. Yeah, just $15,000. That guy ripped off. Damn, that's fancy. I want an ostrich jacket. So they were pretty confident because they're like, we also have so many even literal receipts to show you to point to this guy's fuckery.
Starting point is 00:46:30 And then so the poor man, the people representing Paul Manafort, the defense, they got nothing. Because first, their fucking client is just an idiot who was doing all his shit out in the open. We've talked about this before on the show. out in the open. We've talked about this before on the show. There are emails with him talking to Rick Gates, who he used to work with, about being like,
Starting point is 00:46:50 hey, man, I don't know how to alter this PDF so it says I have more income so I can get this loan. I can't do it in Word. And then so he did it for him and sends him a Word document back. And he's like, hey, can you make this a PDF for me? Like the whole fucking- The subject of the email is crime?
Starting point is 00:47:02 No, like, well, yeah, nearly. And so they have they have to defend somebody this yeah don't read this evidence no i don't think old people knew that emails were things that could ever come out i think they were like no it's on my computer i'm sending it to someone else's computer this is never going to be a thing so you know again they don't have much to defend it's going to be hard to defend somebody where the evidence is just a mountain of evidence in front of them that they have to defend. So, again, his attorney, Thomas Zenley, he basically was trying to humanize Manafort and asked Paul Manafort to stand. And the lawyer was saying, like, I'm proud to represent him.
Starting point is 00:47:39 And then he said. He has legs. He's not a lizard. He is a biped. He was saying, Manafort is a talented political consultant, a second generation immigrant, and the first in his family to go to college. He has been at the quote pinnacle of U.S. politics for 40 years and a driving force in the candidacy of multiple U.S. presidents. And for that, he said, Paul Manafort has rendered a valuable service to our system
Starting point is 00:48:02 of government. And then the judge interrupted him and just right into his thing goes, I take it. You plan to offer evidence. Like, don't just come up here and just say this shit. He's like, come out with the receipts fam, because you can stand this man up and say all this shit,
Starting point is 00:48:15 but we're here to get this done. This is all we got. Okay. And the whole courtroom went, Oh, yeah. Oh, I think literally they heard a dance hall air horn,
Starting point is 00:48:22 like go off in the background. Somebody had an aerosol can with a flame. Ham. With the flame. Man, RIP Ham Horn. Ham Horn. I have it on my phone. Oh, did you not update?
Starting point is 00:48:33 Because they changed the name. It's no longer the woman's voice from 30 Rock. It's just like a voiceover actor going, Ham. Really? Yeah. Oh, no. They got sued.
Starting point is 00:48:41 They got sued. We took a hard tangent. For people who don't know, there is an app called Ham Horn, where I forget, who is the character in 30 Rock where the woman goes, ham? And anyway, they put that, well, that's the air horn, and then ham is different now. So anyway. Oh, you maybe didn't know.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Do I have an update? My thing, mine's different. We'll compare and contrast later. So again, this had Trump sweating again. He then tweeted more about Russian collusion as a total hoax this is a disgrace just trying to tear
Starting point is 00:49:08 everything down then he was saying looking back on history who was treated worse Alphonse Capone legendary mob boss Alphonse literally gave his
Starting point is 00:49:17 Christian name Alphonse who says Alphonse well someone who I think is Wikipedia drag and dropping things into their tweets you're right
Starting point is 00:49:24 and then he's like or Paul Manafort political operative and Reagan dole darling, now serving in solitary confinement. Okay, my man, we get it. You're panicked to shit and you don't know how to tell everybody that, so you just tweet a bunch of bullshit. Murray Wass, he released an article where he alleges that he's seen evidence that Mueller also has that definitively basically proves that Donald Trump knew that Michael Flynn had been compromised and was acting on behalf of the Russian government as an agent or whatever. And before Trump was saying like, no, I didn't know that when I asked Comey for a loyalty oath or him to quote, go easy on Flynn, I had no no idea I wasn't obstructing justice I was just you know just saying shit out loud because I didn't know I was putting justice on pause yeah I was
Starting point is 00:50:14 just like hold up real quick hold on justice just a little less I'm gonna let you finish yeah a little more conversation a little less justice uh so yeah, again, and they were saying like, it's pretty damning evidence. If true, then I mean, it seems like Mueller has a lot to show us when he finally writes his report. So yeah, I think I would be a little bit nervous too. But again, I don't know, going back to what you're saying, Barry,
Starting point is 00:50:39 I don't know what it would take for at least his base to abandon him. I thought about that. Because even yesterday at his rally in Florida, there were a bunch of QAnon conspiracy theorists like out in the shots with Q shirts on, people holding Q. And for people who don't know what the QAnon conspiracy theory is, it's about this person who claims, who calls himself or herself Q and claims to be like a government intelligence person with Q level clearance.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Like he knows everything or she knows everything. I just want to make sure in case Q is a woman. I want to keep that space open. But I feel like this is the work of a very lonely person. But anyway, so but that whole theory is basically sort of to comfort Trump supporters to be like, dude, this whole Mueller thing has nothing to do with collusion. It's actually Trump and Mueller working to take down Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And they're just doing this to confuse the deep state.
Starting point is 00:51:31 And you're like, yo, people are really, it's mainstream now. People are also flat earthers. I mean, it's like. Yeah. But I guess anything to preserve your reality, right? Because. You look for evidence to agree with you, not disagree. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Yeah. You know, it's funny. It's like my mom is a Trump supporter, and nothing I say would ever kind of change her mind because there's always Fox News being like, no, the left's lying to you, and anything they say is a lie. I actually think the only thing that would turn Trump supporters against Trump is if it came out that he was gay.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Or that he was black. If there was a video. Somehow we found out that Trump was black. Even that, I think they'd be like, we own it now. That's it. We have it. It's ours. You're right.
Starting point is 00:52:11 I think if he was gay, if it came out like the pee video, if that was with male hookers, I think that would end his presidency. Yeah, the misogynist, gender normative, heteronormative base of his. I don't know. I honestly think, I've honestly, I was saying. I think that would be it. I said this last week or maybe two weeks ago
Starting point is 00:52:26 I feel like even the pee tape wouldn't be enough no because it would help them it might be liberating for them
Starting point is 00:52:33 because you know all those those republicans who hate gay people are closeted gay people sexuality is a spectrum and you know they're just jealous
Starting point is 00:52:39 but so it might be liberating they'll be like oh yes we can all come out I feel like if the pee tape what about a micro penis if he had a micro penis Yeah, but they would never admit it they would be like
Starting point is 00:52:54 President that looks like me. Yeah I'm gonna start selling news to Trump supporters because they really trying to buy anything I mean like look y'all know this is just the end of time. Xenom finna come back. Xenom. Xenom. Honestly, I mean, you look at Diamond and Silk.
Starting point is 00:53:10 If you look at Diamond and Silk, Lacey, there is a way if you could catch of being a problematic woman of color who stands for Trump. I could make a lot of money this way.
Starting point is 00:53:18 You could scam the shit out of him. I mean, my God. Y'all been on me. I'm going to send y'all my theories about Trump. Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah, y'all don't know, but he actually Jesus.
Starting point is 00:53:27 All right, well, let's work a little bit on those theories during the break because we will be right back.

Starting point is 00:57:35 And we're back. And we wanted to talk a little bit about the whole 3D gun issue we were talking about yesterday. A judge has temporarily blocked Cody Wilson from Defense Distributed, his attempt to put 3D gun printing instructions online. So that's good for now. But, you know, we kind of wanted to sort of re-examine the whole tweet that Donald Trump had yesterday when he's like, I'm looking into 3D plastic guns being sold. Already spoke to the NRA.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Doesn't seem to make sense and we're just sort of like what is it about the like why is the right kind of okay with 3D guns when they're clearly a dangerous thing like John Malkovich's fucking character I remember like
Starting point is 00:58:13 in the line of fire didn't he have a fucking plastic gun that he was planning to use like in the thing like the idea of a plastic gun is a very dangerous prospect for any law enforcement person
Starting point is 00:58:23 or human beings also wasteful you don't want to use plastic. Yeah. Let me look at what it's doing to the seas. Lil Wayne taught me about plastic guns. Really? Yeah, there's a rap line where he's like, and she was like, how I shoot if it's plastic? There you go. Yeah, that's when I
Starting point is 00:58:38 first learned about... Is that what they meant? Yeah, it was a plastic gun because then you can get it through before you could get it through TSA when it was just metal. But now they look at shapes. at shapes yeah exactly they give you that body scan look at you naked my take on this is we're fucked yeah it's over of course i mean if it's out there we're not gonna block it i don't know man i think that one accessibility to 3d gun printers isn't gonna be for your average joe blow it's gonna be for the people who can already enters in libraries in austin texas yeah and you can get crazy they're becoming more and more they're at design schools average Joe Blow. It's going to be for the people who can already afford... There's 3D printers in libraries in Austin, Texas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Is that crazy? They're becoming more and more affordable. That's true. They're at design schools. I've seen them. It's crazy. I think...
Starting point is 00:59:11 I don't know... Once you're allowed to have three... But then again, it's like how many metal detectors are stopping guns? Right. Are there? I mean, I don't think anyone's
Starting point is 00:59:19 stupid enough to keep a fucking... How many guns are they seizing at metal detectors? I mean, if you're dumb enough to have a blammer on you and walk through a fucking metal detector, you're like, what the fuck? You're either metal detector like what the fuck yeah like who's going who's going to the airport with with guns i guess you would just do it then yeah right yeah uh but again like
Starting point is 00:59:34 the whole nra thing it's like why do they need to chime in you think they would be against having these guns like being proliferated because they can't profit off or the traditional gun industry can't profit off it if people are just making their own shit at home. And, you know, like, you know, as our writer, Jan McNabb, put it, it's like, you'd think that they would be treating these guns the same way the music industry treated Napster. Like, we don't, what the fuck are you doing? But again, it's just, they're very, very fine with it. And I think it makes sense until you realize that these guns can't be traced or
Starting point is 01:00:06 registered. And that is a big gun control advocacy concern is that it's the registering of guns that they are very, very concerned about. It's like their second biggest fear is a registry because that means that they could take your guns. And a lot of hardcore gun owners, they've been pushing back because there are quotes from people saying, well, stuff goes to hell. I guess if there's liberals in control of the government, they don't want their guns to be confiscated. Hey, I think we should go back to Chris Rock's joke.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Just don't allow bullets to be sold. Or make them so expensive. Because you're not going to 3D print bullets. Yeah. And if you make bullets really hard to get, then it'll prevent a lot of that stuff. Make one bullet $20,000. Yeah. I just, like,
Starting point is 01:00:51 we act like we have gun control now. We don't. Right. So, like, everyone's like, oh, but gun control. I'm like, bruh, I've been in shootings that I forgot about. I have three on me right now, on my person. Like, that's how bad shootings are. A friend of mine actually was in a shooting recently in la and thank god he was okay but it made me think like oh my god i
Starting point is 01:01:11 don't know how i would act if i was in a shooting i was like oh fuck i've been in many shootings like i had to really think back i don't know like we don't have gun control as it is right now and also i don't know about the bullets thing or like making the guns more expensive but i think like if you have a gun and if you really are quoting the Second Amendment, bro, that was so that if the government knocked on your door and was like, hey, it's lit. We're going to need you to join the army real quick. You would do it. So if you own guns, are y'all ready to go fight for the country?
Starting point is 01:01:37 Well, no. Or in this case, fight against the country. Or let's be real. It's the fear of the Browns that a lot of people are hoarding their guns. Meanwhile, we are the ones who should be real. It's the fear of the Browns that a lot of people are hoarding their guns. Meanwhile, we are the ones who should be afraid. You know, I actually fake like lock my door and grab my purse when I see white people. I'm afraid. No, I'm kidding.
Starting point is 01:01:53 But well, the other thing that they also do is, you know, they always compare. They do this thing. I know it's a joke. Guys, I love white people. I'm employed by so many white people. It's a joke. Guys, I love white people. I'm employed by so many white people. It's a joke. The other weird thing that they always push is this whole idea of the gun registration thing is like they always liken it to the Holocaust. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:02:12 And they use this weird fake argument that it was the gun registry. Like even Ben Carson has said in his book that the gun registry that allowed Hitler to dearm the Jews, which is not true. Okay, if you really want to have a herstory lesson, look at this. The German public was disarmed in 1919 at the behest of England, France, and the United States, which was part of the Treaty of Versailles, which was basically trying to limit private firearm ownership in Germany to reduce Germany's ability to rearm itself because they already done fucked around and started a war. So, and again, if you put that in the context of the Holocaust, I mean, there were relatively few of those Jews that were killed during the Holocaust were actual citizens of pre-war Germany anyway.
Starting point is 01:02:55 So, again, this is just part of their fear-mongering tactics that they use to just misinform us and try to be like, well, you know, what happened with the Holocaust? Like, oh, now you care about the Holocaust, but you're fine with Nazis? If the government wants to take you from somewhere or they want to come to your house, you don't have bigger guns than the government. Yeah. True. You're not going to be fighting the military with your Glock. Do you have a smart bomb?
Starting point is 01:03:18 Have you seen the guns and the missiles that the army has? They have robot killers now. I think Texas and Nevada, they'd probably put up a good fight because you can have military grade firearms there. We do. I guess they just don't have an air force. That's the one difference.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Normal citizens can't have fighter jets. They don't have fighter jets, but they do own planes. So many of my friends in Texas have planes. They own planes? Yeah, I would go flying with my friends. Like a prop plane? Like a propeller plane?
Starting point is 01:03:44 Just like planes? Like jets? Yeah, like would go flying with my friends. Like a prop plane? Like a propeller plane? Just like planes? Like jets? Yeah. What? What are you doing? Who are your friends with? Alright, money bags? You could get your pilot's license when you're like, I think like 12, but you can start flying on your own when you're like 17? Something like that?
Starting point is 01:03:59 I might be wrong about that, but I know it's pretty young. But I had friends in high school who would take me flying and stuff. Damn. Yeah, and they would be flying the plane themselves. I went to Dallas. I mean, they're not fighter jets. No. I mean, they're not fighter jets. They're not cool.
Starting point is 01:04:11 What does a plane go for? I don't know. I don't know. What's on Craigslist? I'm sure you can probably get something for 10 grand. This is way off track, but I just found out, I think it's a big dream to own a private plane one day, right? To be like, wow, that would be amazing.
Starting point is 01:04:22 You could just get in your jet, fly anywhere around the world. Do you know how much it costs? Even if you spend the $30 million or whatever, $40 million it is to buy a jet, it's $10,000 an hour just to operate it. Right, right, right. With the fuel and the pilot costs, yeah. You're still got to pay money
Starting point is 01:04:39 once you have it. That's how you could just get a jet and that's it. And you're just like, now I'm pumping some gas and I'm ready to go. Go by the gas station. It's like super expensive to operate it. Unless you're piloting it and you're like, I actually know how to fuel my own jet. I'm the pilot. I can clean it and just leave me and my T3 alone.
Starting point is 01:04:56 And I'm the flight attendant. I get my own snacks. I sit down. I put on autopilot. I nearly crashed a couple times, but it's all good. Speaking of opulence, let's check in with the scam goddess herself, Lacey Mosley, because you like a good scam. Oh, I love a good scam.
Starting point is 01:05:12 And someone has pulled a scam that may have actually affected a lot of us in our youth. All of us. Yes. So for 10 years, so from- 12, I think, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 12 years. From 1989 to 2001. How many years? Yeah, that's 12. yeah yeah 12 years from 1989 to 2001
Starting point is 01:05:27 how many years? Yeah that's 12 there you go Jerome Jacobson aka Uncle Jerry okay that's a good
Starting point is 01:05:35 scammer name I know Uncle Jerry's a good scammer name I wish I could've ran into him he could've been Zaddy Jerry
Starting point is 01:05:40 to me honey so he started okay so he worked in security. This could be a movie. This really could be a movie. I'm going to produce this movie. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:50 But he worked in security for Monopoly. And during this time, I have to put on my newscaster voice. Okay. During this time when Uncle Jerry was working for Monopoly. Was it Monopoly or like the marketing company? It was the marketing company. For the board game? Yes, for Monopoly. Or the McDonald's. Oh, for or like the marketing company? It was the marketing company. For the board game? Yes, for Monopoly.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Oh, for the McDonald's game. Yes, so Uncle Jerry worked in security for the company that distributed and created the Monopoly game pieces that were played during McDonald's Monopoly millionaire steak steak promo. I was so good at good back in the day. Yes. But has anyone wondered why many of us never won million dollar cash prizes or even like $25,000? Most I won was a hash brown, free hash brown for breakfast. Right? The reason is, is that Uncle Jerry eventually started siphoning these Monopoly winning tickets and these like, you had to have this like kind of special barcode thing that was like a sticker that went with it right to verify it he started siphoning them and then giving them to his relatives people like the first person he did this on was his cousin in florida he gave him a 25 000
Starting point is 01:06:55 monopoly winning ticket and he won and so he gave him kind of commission from it and then he did it again with his butcher in atl, who was his close friend. I'm like, who's your butcher, your close friend? Okay. Who has a butcher? Right. This guy. Hey, shout out to the butchers.
Starting point is 01:07:13 So he gave him a $10,000 winner, and then the guy gave him a commission of $2,000. So then, actually, Monopoly changed its whole kind of system, and things kind of died down for a second but when it was optimized with more technology they started to be able to control who won because it would be like a little scanning like device so they could basically decide after
Starting point is 01:07:36 things were distributed because back in the day when he started doing it it was like he would show up he'd be on these flights he'd be like spending bread he would go to Ruth Chris afterwards and order the whole menu and shit. Like he was like that dude. Ruth Chris. That's fancy for a guy who's pulling a McDonald's Monopoly scam.
Starting point is 01:07:51 So he would have to show up and they would bring a forklift of like the little fry holders and he would individually place all of the winning tickets. And he had an advisor who followed him who was a woman. So the only time he got secret time to himself was in the bathroom. And he had an advisor who followed him who was a woman. So the only time he got secret time to himself was in the bathroom. And he had created a vest for this job, which I don't know why the hell any company would let their security guard create their own vest.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Wait, so that he could keep the pieces on him? Yeah, so that he could keep the pieces on him. So when it started, it was more basic. Like he had all the winning pieces on his person. When it started, it was more basic. Like he had all the winning pieces on his person. And then when they optimized with more technology, it got to the point where they would be able to distribute all of these little barcoded pieces and then decide which ones would be the winning ones. But back then, he was just handing out like the instant win pieces. He was handing out instant win pieces.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Here's 25 grand. Here's 50, whatever. So one day, a package accidentally came to him from Hong Kong with these little stickers. So then it was like all the way up. Like he was all the way in the game. Wow. Because he found out that nobody in Canada would ever win the Jack Prize because Monopoly would make it so that they couldn't win. Because they didn't want the money going up to the great white north is what they called it.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Oh, man. Because it's like less densely populated there. So they wanted people winning in the States. They do more spending on McDonald's. Exactly. So when he optimized then he was just out here going ham he started like spreading his business out he had a web of people that were getting prizes how much did he make mobsters psychics strip club owners
Starting point is 01:09:17 convicts drug traffickers and even a family of mormons family who won almost every prize for 12 fucking years. We didn't have a fucking chance. How did they not verify that? He made $24 million approximately. He ended up having to pay 12.5 in restitution and do three years in jail time. This all happened around 9-11, so it got buried in the news cycle up until now. So he was controlling the whole thing. Yes. That's nuts.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Kingpin. And I was like, I'm so proud of you, Uncle Jerry. I can't imagine having the audacity. I just thought I was unlucky. I bought so much stuff. You would never get Boardwalk. If I just get Boardwalk, I can get the million dollars. Uncle Jerry had them all. Uncle Jerry had all the Boardwalks. I was always getting fucking Reading Rainbow
Starting point is 01:10:04 or whatever. Or Reading Railroad. Reading Rainbow or whatever the fuck. Or Reading Rainbow. Reading Rainbow. Reading Railroad. Reading Railroad. I'm like, Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton. I'm like, Reading Rainbow. Yeah, fuck it.
Starting point is 01:10:10 LeVar Burton was also in the scam, guys. Ventnor. I can do anything. Just take a look. Uncle Jerry's a crook. He's scamming the game now. Okay, but lastly, before we go, I just want to mention one thing. The MTV VMAs are about to happen, and they announced that their Lifetime Achievement Award, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, is going to Jennifer Lopez, Jenny from the Block.
Starting point is 01:10:32 And I feel some type of way about that because Missy Elliott has yet to receive this award, which is the award given to people for having a career of iconic music videos. I mean, look, JLo, iconic, for sure. She's JLo. But is she the kind of person I think, man, those JLo videos? I really fuck with those. I mean, I just remember her being on a beach all the time. I can't even think of any JLo videos. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:11:00 Yeah. What about the one with the lasers? Wasn't that Britney? See, again, but this is a testament to how you can't remember a JLo video, really? Yeah. What about the one with the lasers? Wasn't that Britney? See, again, but this is a testament to how you can't remember a J-Lo video, really. Well, J-Lo's also responsible for all the poor fashion choices we made in the early 2000s. She made those rhinestone belts popular. She made those sunglasses. Glasses with the rhinestones?
Starting point is 01:11:18 Yes, with the rhinestones. And then the gradient, they would be like blue up top and then they'd be like clear at the bottom. With a little bejeweled heart. Booty cock out. Yes. She had bitches out here wearing fedoras. She had us wearing those large roped gold belts. Everything is her fault.
Starting point is 01:11:31 But her music videos was just like her rolling around in some sand and like putting her finger next to her mouth. I think of so many Missy Elliott videos, especially the ones with Hype Williams early on are like amazing. They're great. Like Pass the Dutch, Sock It To Me, Gossip World. Busta Rhymes. Man it, man.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Busta Rhymes had great videos too. I think he may have won, but I don't know. Did he win? Let's see. Maybe. She's a Bitch actually is the 16th. She's a Bitch, the song by Missy Elliott. That music video is still the 16th most expensive music video that was ever produced.
Starting point is 01:12:06 16th? Yeah. It was like millions of dollars. Number one is Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson in Scream. That's the most expensive video that was ever produced.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Where they're playing racquetball. Right? Yeah, like weird space ball. And then they had those weird vibrating balls that had the like rubber spikes coming off it. Like you go to KB Toys and they just had that like weird thing that was the like rubber spikes coming off of it.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Like you go to KB Toys and they just had that like weird thing that was just like vibrating shitty toys. Why didn't you go to the YMCA? Why are they spending so much money?
Starting point is 01:12:32 They were 10,000 each. Yeah, like since, let's see, it's been Duran Duran, Hype Williams, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Kanye West,
Starting point is 01:12:39 Rihanna, Pink, Jennifer Lopez. Like yo, I mean, you know, I get Riri. I feel like Missy Elliott could definitely get in there before Pink. I'm just like, Missy Elliott can still reenact these music videos.
Starting point is 01:12:51 And she actually did last year at the VH1 Awards. I'm like, come on now. Yeah. Like, the amount of singing, dancing. Well, not dancing. Show Virginia some respect. Dancing, all the costumes. She was doing work.
Starting point is 01:13:00 And it was always so innovative. It was stuff we had never seen before. I'm like, come on now. Jennifer, I don't see you body rolling with some oil on in front of a green screen for like 20 years. Right. I really like the Justin Bieber sorry video where that dance troupe is dancing. Right. In front of the white background.
