I bought the cheapest toilet paper just to kind of I felt like I was like, it can't be that bad. Oh my because I'm right now I'm just I know Jack. Yeah. I know. Last time you've been to an elementary school like that. Well, I mean, for legal reasons, that's a hard question. I'm not allowed to answer that. Yeah. No, for legal reasons that's a hard question. I'm not allowed to answer. Yeah No, that's so we're a church. I feel like though they have like some of the worst

I have a big day. I got a bidet. So for me, it's for dabbing. You know, I mean Constitution I Jesus dude the amount I look like I'm in blood sport, like I'm Van Dam wrapping my knuckles with it because it's I have to use so much for it to maintain its structural integrity that I'm like, what the fuck have I done? I'm using more of this shitty one than I would the good ones. I'm just finding that balance. Just yeah, man. And using the bidet, you're like a brand new kid who's never smoked a cigarette

before. You're not used to the horrors of toilet paper, so I'm sure it works. Yeah, I've been on that bidet life for years now. So like I've always been pretty loosey goosey with my toilet paper because again, it ain't for, it ain't hard, it ain't for the, that ain't the job of it, you know? Yeah. There's like two ply, three ply, like one ply is bad. And then there's like, you know, we're getting into decimals. Yeah.

Then it's like department of corrections. Is what it felt like. It's measure sandpaper grit or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Like honestly, like free napkins from the fast food restaurant. You know what I mean? Yeah.

It's stretched out napkins. It's unfolded napkins. No, I'm saying these are the napkins are better than whatever the fuck I got This is like this looks like tracing papers like what went on ozempic Just designed to immediately play your hand all the way through. Yeah It's spider webs Our toilet paper is made of spider webs. Oh Our toilet paper is made of spider webs. You're listening to an iHeart Podcast.

I want you to ask yourself right now, how am I actually doing? Because it's a question that we rarely ask ourselves. All of May is actually Mental Health Awareness Month, and on the psychology of your 20s, we are taking a vulnerable look at why mental health is so hard to talk about. Prepare for our conversations to go deep. I spent the majority of my teenage years, my 20s,

just feeling absolutely terrified. I had a panic attack on a conference call. Knowing that she had six months to live, I was no longer pretending that this was my best friend. So this Mental Health Awareness Month, take that extra bit of care of your wellbeing. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

Sarah Jessica Parker is here, and she is sharing stories from the very beginning, like the time she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. I remember some things about shooting the pilot. Right, I have some memories I can fill you in.

And that you're going to fill me in. Yes, but then you forgot about it in the very long time they took to pick us up. Listen to Are You a Charlotte? on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I think it's a sign of great mental health to acknowledge the dark wolf inside you. It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and on a recent episode of The One You Feed, Josh

They say June bloom is part of the thing here. So, you know, let's hope that doesn't actually apply to our existence.

Very funny comedian, actor, writer, improviser who's special spiritually filthy is very funny. You ought to go check it out right now after this episode. Not right now, but soon.

It's Mort Byrne. What's up, you little. Yeah. We did just sneak in on Mort. Didn't tell him he was going to be on the episode, so we just scared him. Sorry, yeah. Ah, Jesus! I just had one of those hot couch naps.

Yeah. Oh, man. Just like, ready on the couch. Just like, ready on the couch. Drenched in couch in a way that doesn't make any sense. Wow. Why? A nightmare that ends abruptly and you're like, huh? Wow. What does that even mean?

That's fucking weird. Great to have you here, Mort. How are you doing? Heck yeah. I'm doing great, you guys. Thanks for having me. It's like to be back. Yeah. How are you doing with the heat? Dude, we're doing good. I'm loving it. I'm a nighttime boy myself.

So being the skateboard liaison for this podcast, I did a little night skate last night. And these, as I call them hot LA nights, oh, there's nothing better. Just sipping that ocean spray cranberry, listening to dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Yeah, just long boarding down into South Cape. Were you long boarding or no, you weren't long boarding. No, I wasn't long.

But that dude, the the ocean spray guy, he was a very powerful long boarder. Is he OK now? Like, I don't think he's doing too good. Do you always worry about those people who get like that, like huge focus from the Internet for like two weeks and then you're like, did they survive that? Dude, that the everybody's going to be famous for 15 minutes needs to be changed to 11 seconds. Yeah, right. Yeah.

Or yeah, six seconds from the days of Vine. I hope it's not. The pure bliss in his eyes while drinking, what I have to assume was an incredibly large cranberry vodka. Yeah. Just so much joy. He was on the top of the world at that moment. What I'm saying he was in reservation dogs

He met he was on reservation dog. That's right. Yeah, he made an appearance in a restaurant So I think he's that's pretty cool nice, dude Well, he had the charisma like I could see him parlaying that into a career. Oh hell. Yeah. Hell. Yeah. Look Nathan Appadaka, dude We salute you that's Nathan Appadaka? That's Nate Appadaka, bro. Dogface208, bro. Incredible. Well, Mort, thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we are gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We are going to talk about why all these fascists wanna be artists. What is it? We got another one, another one. Another one. Another one. They all have visions of being musicians, of being...

I think in Donald Trump's case, it was probably like stand-up comedian slash... Yeah. I bet he loves Rickles. Yeah, probably. I feel like he's like, I could have done that. Yeah, you're just terrible to people on a stage. Just reduced it down to that. That was Rickles. Now just be a dick to everybody all the time.

That's how all those dudes process Rickles. They think that's the exact thing. Oh, I'm an asshole. I should probably do stand up also. I have hatred in my heart. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So we'll talk about that as well as sampling an incredible LP from one of these guys.

There's a couple of tracks that on Wonkette, they pulled another one of his tracks. There's two tracks plus the debut video. There's a lot of material. This guy's in his real life. What if a right-wing Trump person had only ever listened to like future and who kind of SoundCloud he's kind of maybe it's definitely mumble core ish. Yeah, you know, he's he's he's melodic with it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We'll check in with the Democrats. We will look at the hottest new thing in game shows, which is basically squid game.

It's like, it's not squid game, the game show on Netflix. It's squid game like, but for real, because it's Mr. Beast and he is above the law and incredibly famous and can just get away with whatever he wants, uh, all of that, plenty more, but first Mort, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Search history, you guys. I hate to say it, but I'm still looking at small convertibles. I just checked out a BMW Z3 that's $4,200. Then I had to look up what a rebuilt title means, and I don't think I should buy that car.

What is a rebuilt title? It's worse than salvage Jesus No, so yeah, what does that mean I think it just means that the car was entirely destroyed I don't know how they got this thing look. It's so amazing, but it looked the car looks goddamn great But yeah, you know what they say if it's too good to be true then it's probably great right isn't that oh I see it's when a car was previously deemed a total loss by an insurance company and then given a salvage title but was later repaired and deemed road worthy yeah hell yeah road worthy is all I need to hear that's all I need to hear see worthy road worthy James worthy they open their sales pitch with have you ever heard of the thought experiment the ship of?

Theseus So this was a total Is it even really that same car these is always so broken it defies philosophy It's so broken, it defies philosophy. Right. Let me just sit down with you for a good 45 minutes. So is it the same car? Yeah, it's the same fucked up car actually. So you got your eye on a small little convertible.

Yeah, I want a convertible. Little hot rod coupe. While I live in Los Angeles, I want a cheap little convertible to drive around. It just seems fun to me. And I'm of the age where I'm like, it's definitely a midlife crisis. But again, I've had a crisis before, it's definitely a midlife crisis. But again, like, is it a crisis? I've had a crisis before. This isn't a crisis.

Yeah. No. It's a hobby. It's a hobby. To midlife jaunt. Yeah. To midlife little adventure. Thanks, you guys, for supporting this.

Yeah, man. Exactly. For co-signing this. As someone who just started DJing again, I'm not going to shit on anybody's new midlife hobbies. Yeah. I say the problem is when you weren't DJing, you know? It was. No, I mean, it's funny.

I always call a phone. People are like, Oh, what do you mean? I'm like, I actually started DJing. You're like, what? So many people go, Oh, I'm so sorry for your wife. And I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, I actually, you guys said DJ vinyl. Like, before they weren't your friends, then they weren't your friends. You don't need friends like that. That's right. We're your only friends, but I do need my mother Says it the most

Like oh my god again I of The all the people I know who have tried their hand at DJing. You have earned it. You know music. Well, we have actually. It makes sense. It's like Danel, DJ. Producer, editor, Justin, DJ. DJ.

Who've also been pivotal in my road back to DJing. So shout out to them also. Yeah. Small convertible. I'm just picturing you tearing around the PCH in a small convertible, listening to Beach Boys songs about tearing around the PCH in a small convertible, listening to Beach Boys songs about tearing around the PCH in a small convertible. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's only 50 Surf Rock for me.

That's it. Oh, yeah. What is something you think is underrated? Hot take, guys, and hear me out on this. I believe love is underrated and here's what I'll say about it. Here's what I'll say about it. Okay, let me finish. it. Let me finish. OK, let me finish.

I know this is a hot take and terrible for a comedian to suggest. But here's the thing. So love is like saxophone solos. So in the 80s, every third song had a saxophone solo. So and it was awful. So now no one uses saxophone in popular music at all. But they forget about like John Coltrane and shit, right? Like saxophones, and the same thing happened with hippies.

Sonny Rollins, right? They talked about love and everybody hates hippies. So now we've all decided that love is annoying. Right, exactly. But what Twitter is, is what human interaction becomes if there's no love. It's just neo-Nazis and nerds screaming at each other on an infinity loop.

Owning each other. You know what I mean? So I'm turning it around here. I'm taking a stand. We need a little bit of love in this world. Oh, I love that. Yeah. Hard disagree.

What's something you think is... Boo. No. L-take. What is something you think's over it? Waking up early, I think, is absolute bullshit. I think every evil, especially if you consider corporations and the laws that have created them to support them just to be money-eating machines that exploit people, all of that

stuff was created by people who are awake before 6 a.m. I guarantee it. Yeah. They've been doing all that work while we're sleeping in. Yeah. There's the invented AI while we were sleeping. Exactly. Yeah. Does it count if they're on cocaine the night before

and are merely just up before? Here's the thing. The cocaine people actually just want to be normal late night people, but they're not allowed to be who they are. It's like you with the DJ, Miles. There was some period. And by by the way have you tried cocaine? My DJ Yeah, I mean like if you don't live your dream that you decide I shit all right

I gotta say gonna do a bunch of cocaine and start a business You know what a fucking start a business you want to be a poet You just don't think it's acceptable socially because your dad told you you have to make a bunch of money. And you've sort of completely mischaracterized the connection between you being on a coke hive and like, I think this is the person I'm supposed to be.

Yeah. Yeah, all the sayings about like time of day, I feel like we're invented by people who sucked shit. It's like the early bird gets the worm. I have heard, I think the first place I heard the quote like, nobody, nothing good ever happens after 1 a.m. in the morning. I think I heard that on cops when I was like a kid. But like I've heard it since then from people just being like, I go to sleep at a reasonable hour. Nothing good ever happens after 1 a.m. And yeah, it's just fucking a bunch of cops telling us when our bedtimes are. Yeah, man, a bunch of fucking cops. And I'll say this. So I have

attention deficit disorder, just like every other person under 50. And what apparently there's this theory called the night watcher theory if you guys heard of this no yeah Supposedly the theory is that people that have ADHD are descendants of the people back in the day in the tribe who were tasked to stay awake and survey the horizon which is why I feel most comfortable watching an action movie at like 4 a.m. I feel like I'm Fulfilling what I was meant to do which is also why when everything was on fire out here watching an action movie at like 4 a.m. I feel like I'm like fulfilling my purpose. And which is also why when everything was on fire out here, when I had to stay up all night and keep an eye on that app that told us whether or not we needed to leave the area,

that was my Super Bowl. Like I've never felt more of use in my life. This is what I was built for. By the way, if you're very comfortable watching an action movie at three in the morning and like that's what was happening with your descendants, I feel like they were bad, bad guards because they're just sitting there watching as people were being murdered and killed. Oh shit, marauders. Oh shit, damn.

They're here, they're here, they're here. Your ancestors were like yo Just on this side Popcorn on the stove and be like world star or whatever Hey, do we have any more butter off fuck guys? The Raiders are here. Oh shit. That would have been so tight in bullet time What is it? What are bullets even? Time Joe Pesci for a little comedic relief. The people are just being slaughtered.

I have noticed when I get really bad sleep sometimes and I'm very tired the next day, I actually have a peace of mind that I don't normally have because I think my brain can only like focus. There's this theory that I've heard when people talk about SNL, the reason they have such, the way they write SNL is they stay up all night and try and write the whole show in two days. The theory is that that's when your brain is too tired to edit itself, to, you know, edit itself.

And then you get like weird ideas coming out. Yeah. I feel like I have a version of that where like, if I stay up really late and like don't have good sleep and I'm super tired, I actually just feel peaceful. It's also like, you know, I don't drink anymore, but there are studies into lack of sleep that it's like, you know, when you haven't slept, you like, if you're going on three hours of sleep, that's the equivalent of like having two drinks. And these are studies that aren't saying like, and that's cool. They're saying like, don't drive if you haven't slept. But my takeaway is like, yeah, all right, man.

That's why I feel pretty good. So the closest I get to two drinks anymore in my life. Yeah. Yeah. It's like I don't have the energy to be anxious or something. Yeah, exactly. That's right. Yeah. My brain is like, we don't have the energy to fucking worry about that today. Let's just look at what is directly in front of us. Let's get let's get back to work on that open mic stand-up set.

That's right. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. All right. Well, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we will talk about some news. We'll be right back. Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? What we have all been waiting for.

Sarah Jessica Parker is here and she is sharing stories from the very beginning, like the time she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. I remember some things about shooting the pilot. Right. I have some memories I can fill you in. And that you're going to fill me in. Yes. But then you forgot about it in the very long time

they took to pick us up. And she reveals what she thought when she read the script for Sex and the City the very first time. He said he wrote this like I was in his head in some way, which I found really interesting. And does she think Carrie is too good for Mr. Big? She had inexplicable feelings. Got it.

It is a human being that can't explain to her friends why somebody that might be beneath her is dictating the hunt. You can't miss this. Listen to Are You a Charlotte? on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happens when we come face to face with death? My truck was blown up by a 20 pound anti-tank mine. My parachute did not deploy. I was kidnapped by a drug cartel. I just remember everything getting dark. I'm dying.

When we step beyond the edge of what we know... To open our consciousness to something more than just what's in that western box. ...and return. I clinically died. The heart stopped beating. Which I was dead for 11.5 minutes. My name is Dan Bush. My mission is simple.

To find, explore, and share these stories. I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor. You're strongest when you're the most vulnerable. To remind us what it means to be alive. Not just that I was the guy that cut his arm off, but I'm the guy who is smiling when he cut his arm off. Alive Again, a podcast about the fragility of life, the strength of the human spirit, and what it means to truly live.

Listen to Alive Again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. I have a question for you, and I want you to be honest with me. How are you? It's a really hard question to ask. It's a harder one to answer, but taking care of our mental wellbeing has never been more important. All of May is Mental Health Awareness Month and on the Psychology of Your 20s podcast,

we are taking a vulnerable look at why mental health is so hard to talk about and all the science and psychology behind some of life's hardest moments and transitions. Prepare for our conversations to go deep. Everything from grief to heartbreak, career burnout, anxiety, all of the things that you would only talk about with your closest friends. I spent the majority of my teenage years and my twenties just feeling absolutely terrified. I had a panic attack on a conference call. Knowing that she had six months to live, I was no longer pretending that this was my best friend.

So this Mental Health Awareness Month, take that extra bit of care of yourself and your brain. Listen to the psychology of your twenties on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sometimes as dads, I think we're too hard on ourselves. We get down on ourselves on not being able to, you know, we're the providers, but we also have to learn to take care of ourselves. A rapper way, you got to pray for yourself as well as for everybody else, but never forget yourself.

Self-love made me a better dad because I realized my worth. Never stop being a dad. That's dedication. Find out more at fatherhood.gov. Brought to you by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Ad Council. And we're back. And another day, another story about a right-wing person who is trying to have a music career. Where else have we seen this, Miles? Everywhere. Fucking everywhere.

We talk about MAGA singers, MAGA rappers, MAGA writer, like Shapiro wanted to be a writer. Bannon wanted to be a writer. Yeah. Boring. What's his David boring or Jeremy boring from the Daily Wire. People. He's also like a failed Hollywood guy. There's so many Hollywood failure people like in the right wing.

Shout out to that one guy though, who was pretty gracious who was at that MAGA fashion show, who we were critiquing their performance and he would DM me and be like, I saw, I heard about you mentioned me on the Daily Zeitgeist. That rapper? Yeah. The guy who was like a dancer, singer and we're like, your lip sync track went off.

He's like, I wasn't lip syncing. I'm like, okay. Okay. That's okay. Oh my God. That's okay. I didn't know he DM'd you. That's amazing. Yeah. He DM'd me. He DM'd me and I did not reply. But this guy, we, he DMed me. He DMed me and I and I did not reply.

But this guy, we got a new one now. This the spotlight is now in Michigan State Representative Josh Shriver. He is technically a state legislator, but he was stripped of his literal physical office, staff and committee assignments when he just started posting a bunch of awful racist shit on Twitter. And also not to mention all of his politics are just generally just abhorrent, like he's anti gay, anti choice. He said he's like anti porn because it's heroin or he said it's like heroin or something. I don't know. He you

know, if there is something targeted by this stuff, exactly. And it's probably not whatever pornography does to your subconscious that you're trying to suppress. I don't know. I don't know. It's probably not whatever pornography does to your subconscious that you're trying to suppress. I don't know. I don't know. It's probably unrelated. But anyway, basically, it seems like having no other task in the state legislature aside from like, literally, all he can do is just raise his hand to cast a vote. That's all the talk. Don't even fucking talk, dude. What do you got to say? Is it yay or nay, fool?

And don't say yay yay again to try and get your reaction. No. Yay or nay. Fine. Yay. He's working I guess full time now on his SoundCloud rapping. And if you didn't know, you must have missed his debut video last year called I kissed a boy and I liked it. Wait, no, it was actually called the conservative code. And this video, again, it's like some fucking like hype. It feels like he may have been raised on like hype Williams videos because it got kind of a cinematic intro where he's in a coffee shop and then like gets a phone call and like that from the news from the news here is it's the news.

Hey, it's the news. You got a second, bud So here's in the coffee shop sitting down The dorkiest ringtone ever Honestly, the best thing would be for me is just show you. OK, show me. I'm just going to cut forward. This is where he talks about the conservative code. Does it make sense?

Dude, he has zero drift. Zero. Like his- He's like wrapping into the mic- I care. Or into the camera with his eyes closed. Not in the way of somebody who's really feeling what they're singing, but in the way of somebody who can't make eye contact and

therefore just has their eyes closed because they're so awkward. He's like, if I can't see you, you're not there. Right. I am rapping in my video, my own video and I'm standing on a four-range pickup. It's just so weird because we've seen before people try and rap and be like, my name is Joe and I'm here to say that I'm calling. It's so weird to hear that.

But like with like SoundCloud, like it's like, are you, could you think you're Cardi or something? Yeah. It's kind of Cardi. Cardi. I'm really pretty tight. You're like, it's like, dude, if I had to do an impression of somebody that only had hip hop

described to them 10 years ago. He's even posted, he's like, they say I'm racist. I'm actually just a white rapper. So go ahead with your attacks. He's like, what does that even mean? Wait, what? Why does he think that is why people are calling him racist? I have no idea. I think he was saying that his defense against being described as a racist is that he's a white rapper, which tracks in the mind of a racist who would be like, but I'm a white, but I'm a rapper. That's a black thing. Why would I do that?

If I'm, I can't be racist. If I'm a rapper. Oh, he thinks that that's the ultimate Trump card. Like having a black best friend. I guess, but he, based on this, he has no, he doesn't know anybody, but he doesn't even wear black clothes. Wearing a bunch of tan colored shit. He just dropped a fucking new LP. Yeah, that's right.

Not a new EP. The grassroots. Yeah. We're going full. Exactly, full. It's actually kind of a concept album if you listen to it. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is.

This one is called call on God and My god what this the the first bar bro. It goes off This is this is what Drake has wrought I feel like here we go. I just took some pre-workout Faithfulness replaces doubt. Okay! Ahhh! Okay! In this life you'll have some dips.

Okay! I can stop myself from doing what I ought not to. Oh! Self-control is what the Holy Spirit will produce. Okay, what are you ought to not- What is he fighting? When he says, what you ought to not- Fighting is demons, man.

What are those demons, guy? Overconsumption? I'm desperately trying not to jack off, guy? I'm trying not to jack off the porn. He's trying. Oh, yeah. He's just trying not to jack off. Fire up my covenant eyes. Let down my pastor much to his surprise. What was the section? Even rhyme.

He's he's just it's. Yeah, man. I don't know. It's so, I just took some pre-workout. I just took some pre-workout. I just took some pre-workout as like, I could see that being like a Kanye rhyme for like, so a Kanye from like 2010s, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what he said. But then he just goes directly into into like Amish paradise style shit. Or it's like not the thing you ought to do. My homie Ezekiel. Make sure we don't jack off. Exactly. Watching each other through covenant eyes.

Has Shorty swallow me like that whale did Jonah? My man Jesus nailed up on the cross. It's also like it borrows from country music where they just named like pop country, where they just named things that they're doing. How like I got a dog in a truck or whatever this guy's right. Yeah. I washed my hands before dinner. You're like in a truck.

This is, I think Jack, you pointed out a little section around the one minute mark that you felt was really going hard. I actually kind of like this. Okay, let's jump to this. It. Uh huh. The actually, I know your time out the part before I think he goes, I might just have to go acapella. Yeah, I think it's what he does.

Yeah, I think is what he does I'm sorry, sir For that to be acapella, okay Shout out to the people who saying though where on the World is Carmen San Diego theme song, Rock-a-Pella. Yeah, it's not great. This is another one on Wonkette. They were like, the place that he's hosting the album, he's like, when he released the LP, he said on Twitter, I've given a lot of thought to releasing this album on mainstream platforms, but that went out the window when I came across some other

fucking platform I've never heard of called Untitled. He's like, this is by far the best, but you can't really like download or it's really hard to use, I guess. So someone who is it? I want to Robin Panacchia, a wonkette just recorded it with her phone off, like playing off the computer. This is another track called Jesus Wept. Oh, oh, I don't know.

Is this going to get us to take down I mean only from Christ, you know what I mean? Cuz it's not this guy's on a fucking label The only label. Yeah, he's rocking is Nazi. But yeah, this is uh, yeah, it's just again He's like all he do you like the last thing he was really in the news for was trying to ban gay marriage And there was a shut up You barely even have office anymore. He's like fine. Here's my new rap album. I've been working on They took it quick. This is a Kyle Mooney character. I right yeah, man is exactly who it is Tired to or is like I might just be to go off on you Do you think he's he's probably drank lean just to like hell no he's never he has tried to drink miles

No, he's not for the art. He'd know what he did has rather than use the measuring cup on nyquil He free swug it once he did a swig without measuring it and he called that lean. And then he started like leaning over a little bit. He just like slumped in the couch a little bit. He had a long nap and a big old sleep. He ain't sipping lean. No, no, no. I don't think he's doing it like correctly, but I think he has tried. I'm saying you have to get Promethys. Lean, you have to get a prescription for it.

You have to know the plug to get lean unless you have it prescribed to you. He is directly opposed to every aspect of hip hop culture. Every part of it. That's why he sounds like that. Part of this also feels like a door that Kanye West has opened up with his like Jesus weird problematic Jesus pivot. But I'm also a Nazi at the same time. But I'm also saying praise Christ that like it's like there's like this weird lane now for Nazis to also praise Christ and Hitler at the same time. That's a great point, because I was thinking like, oh, maybe this is a little bit

innovative because no one's done that before, but there's no way that this person is capable of any artistic innovation. So you're absolutely right. Even as like regressive takes or just copy and paste bullshit from other right wingers. Yep. There's this quote going around on Twitter that Jungian psychologist Marie-Louise Von Franz wrote, people who have a creative side and do not live it out are most disagreeable clients. They make a mountain out of a molehill, fuss about unnecessary things,

are too passionately in love with somebody who is not worth so much attention, and so on. That is so harsh. There is a guy like, just sitting back being like, you're into her? Settle down. She's not that great. Just pick up the guitar. This is the part I like. There's a kind of floating charge of energy in them, which is not attached to its right object and therefore tends to apply exaggerated dynamism

to the wrong situation, which I think is an interesting way to look at these people. It does suggest that they had some higher artistic purpose, which I don't think is necessarily true here. I think it's like a version of that where I could have been a great artist is like a idea that is like for a narcissist to just like fixate on that idea. Like it's just so comfortable and like spacious and like you never have to really test it.

And so like, you know, you just like the idea that you're like special, like that I think everybody has when they're like children. And then like the pros of becoming an adult is like, oh, we're all like part of a whole, or you could stay a narcissist and like, find a place to just, you know, be like, I'm actually the world's greatest artist. I'm a generational talent. And that's pretty- I just took some pre-workout. It's pretty hard to crack that because art is subjective.

And so they just get to sit back and believe that they're a generational talent. It's a great place for a narcissist to just chill out and let their narcissism go unchallenged. Which is why they can't ever make it to actual artistic heights, because true art requires constant humbling, basically. Actual artistry involves, it's almost all failure, and when you're a narcissist,

you cannot experience failure. So you just walk away and pretend like, but I think everybody, like everybody's creative in some way and that doesn't mean they're good at it. Like children finger paint, it doesn't mean that they are fucking great at it. But the thing is that these people, I believe, cause they can't stand any sort of femininity,

which is required for balanced expression They get they get that like fucking abused out of them real quick. So then this happens Yeah, this is a very unbalanced person then yeah, meanwhile you fire up your fucking your audacity screaming to the mic I just took some pre-workout That's called motherfucking bars, nigga! Fucking place! That's what he's thinking. He's like, yes! Yes!

That's where he sees this going. Yeah, yeah, he's like, I'm already, I'm a hot 97, I'm talking to Funkflex. He's giving it up. I'm going to do some pre-workout. That's what we call motherfucking bars! Yes, thank you, thank you Funkflex. You saw me. You saw me.

Yeah, it's again, they will continue to just kind of keep doing this whole thing. But yeah, that is a good point about like, truly, like anyone who does anything creative, the like, whenever you're inspired, it's because you see someone who's so on their game, you're like, bro, I'm not even close to this. And that inspires you to be like, I have something to like direct me a little bit more creatively, like I'm inspired by the fact that I've been humbled in the presence of this

person's art. And it's not to be like, I'm gonna hang it up. It's like, damn, that's dope. They're they're fucking so many other levels I can hit creatively. And I want I'm chasing that. Yeah. Yeah. If it's like, I got it all figured out. Okay. I just took some pre-workout. Then yeah, fine. For sure this guy is like, my rap's pretty easy. Like that's absolutely what he thought. Which is such a profound misunderstanding.

I'm just as good as Cardi. Yeah. What if I say now? I'm going to be for real. You're like, OK. He just starts releasing Cardi songs and being like, I can't. I came up with that. Yeah. He's like in Detroit, I'm really rock. Hello. You're like Detroit, you really rock.

Hold on. Is that Magnolia by Playboy Cardi? But you know, yeah, I got here, he says in a song when I see you guaranteed to be an ICU He said mad hoes ass beavis I get nothing but head That's big L I Got a I got a pitch for him that that is better than anything He'll come up with which is his WAP is a white-ass politician.

That's a hit, dude. I give that to you for free. Oh, my God. But in the video, he's dressing all sexy and thotty like Cardi did. He's like, I'm that white-ass politician. They're like, wait, what? Go ahead.

Yeah, he's trying to twerk. Okay, Josh. All right, let's take a quick break, and we what? Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah, he's trying to twerk. OK, Josh. All right, let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. ["Sherlock's Theme"] Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? What we have all been waiting for. Sarah Jessica Parker is here, and she is sharing stories from the very beginning,

like the time she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. I remember some things about shooting the pilot. Right, I have some memories I can fill you in. And that you're going to fill me in. Yes, but then you forgot about it in the very long time they took to pick us up. I completely forgot about it. And she reveals what she thought

when she read the script for Sex and the City the very first time. He said he wrote this like I was in his head in some way, which I found really interesting. And does she think Carrie is too good for Mr. Big? She had inexplicable feelings. Got it. It is a human being that can't explain to her friends why somebody that might be beneath her Yes. is dictating the hunt.

You can't miss this. Listen to Are You a Charlotte? on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happens when we come face to face with death? My truck was blown up by a 20 pound anti-tank mine. My parachute did not deploy. I was kidnapped by a drug cartel. I just

remember everything getting dark. I'm dying. We step beyond the edge of what we know. To open our consciousness to something more than just what's in that Western box. And return. I clinically died. The heart stopped beating. Which I was dead for 11.5 minutes. My name is Dan Bush. My mission is simple, to find, explore, and share these stories. I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor. You're strongest when you're the most vulnerable.

To remind us what it means to be alive. Not just that I was the guy that cut his arm off, but I'm the guy who is smiling when he cut his arm off. Alive Again, a podcast about the fragility of life, the strength of the human spirit, and what it means to truly live. Listen to Alive Again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen

to your favorite shows. I have a question for you, and I want you to be honest with me. How are you? It's a really hard question to ask. It's a harder one to answer, but taking care of our mental well-being has never been more important. All of May is Mental Health Awareness Month and on the Psychology of Your 20s podcast, we are taking a vulnerable look at why mental health

is so hard to talk about and all the science and psychology behind some of life's hardest moments and transitions. Prepare for our conversations to go deep. Everything from grief to heartbreak, career burnout, anxiety, all of the things that you would only talk about with your closest friends. I spent the majority of my teenage years and my twenties just feeling absolutely terrified.

I had a panic attack on a conference call. Knowing that she had six months to live, I was no longer pretending that this was my best friend. So this Mental Health Awareness Month, take that extra bit of care of yourself and your brain. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Sometimes as dads, I think we're too hard on ourselves. We get down on ourselves on not being able to, you know, we're the providers. But we also have to learn to take care of ourselves. A wrap-away, you've got to pray for yourself, as well as for everybody else, but never forget yourself. Self-love made me a better dad because I realized my worth. Never stop being a dad. That's dedication. Find out more at fatherhood.gov.

Brought to you by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Ad Council. And we're back and we're still talking about that guys. Because like I think, you know, so much of that style of rap is about drugs and like the closest that he has ever is about drugs and like the closest that he has ever gotten to drugs is pre-workout, which is just caffeine. Yep. Just like caffeine that people take before they work out. His lean is pre-workout.

His lean is pre-workout. I just took some pre-workout. I guess that means that I should lift. I guess that means that I should lift wait no, what do you mean? Don't you take is that what it means or did you drink the pre-work? I guess I meant that I should lift also at no point does he work out. No, no, no, no, no, no Yeah, he ain't working out. I guess I'm gonna work out on this beat. He's just working out them thumbs on Twitter He's also got that sort of he's from Michigan. So he's got that vaguely Canadian accent, which makes it even more

embarrassingly white. I just took some pre-work out. We're good. At least he's not doing a black son. I will give him that. He is a little though. There are parts, there are parts where he like tries to put a little swag on it. I just took some pre-whittaker. No flavor? Not that part. Jesus wept maybe, let me hear it. Curse no free, oh work you're my deed. I'm a learned person being your rebirth, you serve me. No, that's, that would- Not that, not that. That would be offensive to actual black people.

Um, let me see, what is it? This life you'll have some dips. Dits. I can stop myself from doing what I ought not to do. You know, I want I bet in his mind, he's like, bro, they're not gonna even know I'm white. This shit like it truly is like we're saying like this young guy and psychologist is talking. It's like, yeah, dude, they

won't even know. Yeah, who I am to shock everybody when they see the video. Yeah, when I take my klan hood off at the concert, they're gonna be like, and that boy was me. Maybe they thought, you thought I was from Compton, but guess what? No, I'm from the Detroit suburbs. All right. Should we talk Mr. Beast? Should we talk the most famous person currently alive? What's he up to?

He did that squid game show. Like that was just unironically no, no satire, just being like, I thought squid game was cool and I'd like to do a squid game. And he did it on Amazon because we live in hell and it was like the biggest hit. The Amazon's most watched unscripted show with 50 million viewers. Granted, I don't know of a single other Amazon show that's unscripted. Is that a thing they do?

I just don't care if it is. Yeah, I mean, the only other Amazon original that I can be like out loud will be like that failed Lord of the Rings thing. And I know the only other Amazon original that I can be like out loud will be like that failed Lord of the Rings thing And I know there are other shows because I know you're oh In the high tower was that Amazon? Yeah, that was a that was a reality cup. Yeah Like kind of what it's looking like now Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I guess the reality no no no

I mean this feels like the kind of thing you're like and we're to go big with the biggest insufferable fucker ever, Mr. Beast. I told you the story about how we were at, we were staying with my wife's friend and their kids were like, do you know Mr. Beast? You live in LA. Do you know Mr. Beast?

Have you met Mr. Beast? And like all they cared about was Mr. Beast. They're like, has Mr. Beast exploited you? Like hell no. That would be so cool.

They also, they were like, he's the richest person in the world. Did you know Mr. Beast? One of the kids was the age where you should be obsessed with dinosaurs, and he was just obsessed with Mr. Beast. Some guy named Jimmy from North Carolina who has a lot of money. That's come on. We, what happened to real?

I used to look up to fucking Michael Jordan. That's right. Well, he, so he is like for people who aren't familiar, a huge YouTuber who like makes people do, uh, or like offers people big sums of money to do a challenge. Yeah. Like can you live in a grocery store for seven months straight? Yeah. And that one was really pushed on me for many months.

Oh, really? He makes poor people pay for being poor. You know what I mean? That's right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

In a, in a roundabout way. They make them suffer even more than it already is suffering. Yeah. Yeah. In a roundabout way. Yeah. They make them suffer even more than it already is suffering. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a, it's the equivalent of being like, I bet I could get those two guys to fight each other for enough money. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. And so he launched a Squid Game inspired reality show. It did well. And then Amazon just held their upfronts, which is where they like announced their upcoming programming and they announced two more seasons. Jesus Christ.

I started watching the first season out of a morbid curiosity. And I was just like, this is the desperate, like it, it's really done to really be like, how fuck can I break these people by dangling money in front of them? Like, cause there's some challenges that would like, you can get a bunch of money if you fuck everyone else over on your team and they just keep upping the stakes to see if someone will break that. There was like one dimension of that to one of the challenges and very quickly, I was like, this is not even interesting.

Like I get that there's money on the line and you're trying to create some tension here, but it really was not that actually interesting given the premise and the amount of money on the line. Yeah. It's this thing that we always, I've always been afraid of the certain type of rich person whose favorite thing is to watch people lose their dignity. Right, right, right. Why, what's your problem, Mort? That sounds cool to me.

Because I'll do anything for 11 grand. That's why. Yeah. Same. If you waived any amount of money in front of me, I'd fucking, I'd live in a bomb shelter or whatever. Yeah, yeah. For seven months straight.

So some people were a little surprised by this considering that the first season sparked a class action lawsuit from contestants alleging that they had been subjected to chronic mistreatment and sexual harassment during the production, uh, and that they were put in dangerous situations. The suit also claims that beast games has a $100 million budget. So again, that's a lot of money to spend. The show failed to pay minimum wages and overtime, failed to prevent sexual harassment,

created conditions that subjected contestants to infliction of emotional distress. This is all in the lawsuit. Did not provide participants uninterrupted meal breaks or rest breaks and exposed contestants to dangerous circumstances and conditions as a condition of their employment. Oh, I'm sorry.

You have to do this dangerous thing or your like it's your choice. You're not going to be on the show if you don't do it. But yeah, I feel like Mr. Beast like, oh, I'm sorry, you pussies. Do you know what squid games is? Do you think they gave them little bathroom breaks? It's life or death for this cash. Are you in or out? Fuck out of here.

That's what that's the thing. I'm sure that's like, was probably the logic too from just like, no, let's, let's try and keep them going. Let's try and get more. And they're like, that's illegal now, because these are people that you are employed, you can't just be like no meal for them, no rest, because it'll make better TV, um, and then they find themselves way better. I would only watch Mr.

Beast if, uh, the politician from our first segment did the theme song. Right. Oh, wow. I mean, given Jeff Bezos' penchant to please the right, we may not be too far off. Also, do you think this is like, like these feel like Bezos ideas too? Where he's like, yeah, Mr. Beast green lighted another 200 million for him for a show. Like, cause he's like in his mind, he's like, I'm the fucking next Bob Iger or some shit or whatever the fucking billionaire logic where it's like, yeah, should be glad that we're giving them the chance to win this money. Right.

You're welcome. I think is what you mean. Yeah. It's almost like Bezos is using Mr. Beast as his like conduit for this kind of thing. Cause it's Jeff. Cause we know Jeff Bezos loves to make poor people squirm too. So it's probably like, yes.

And now I have a show, but Mr. Beast catches all the facts now and I get my jollies from producing it. The, this isn't super surprising. There've been other lawsuits from former employees and he's basically a robber baron, like a YouTube robber baron. He literally started his own company town in 2023. That's always, it's always a red flag for where somebody's like kind of psyche is headed when they just create a place that is surrounded by only employees, like a, a Graceland or a Never Neverland or,

you know what I mean? And they all have to be nice to each. Neverland Grange. Yeah, right. Yeah. Buying an entire street in North Carolina with the intention of moving his staff into the homes. I think that's nice, man.

Look, he gives us everything. He's a job creator. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Child creator and child namer, because we actually signed that right over to him when we worked for him. But yeah, like he's most popular with children, which is kind of a problem because like,

for instance, one of the episodes in the first season of Mr. Beast was sponsored by Money Lion, the high interest personal loan company. It was all over that first episode. Yeah. Like, you know, that was, oh my God, it was just like out of nowhere. You're like, okay, we get it, Moneylion, fuck. Viewers were encouraged to scan a QR code in order to win

$4.2 million in a Moneylion's sweepstakes. And again, these are high interest personal loans being targeted at children. Okay. Well, like, well, if 50 million viewers, they probably weren't all kids or people, you know, susceptible to that kind of thing. Right. You know, it's 50% between the age of 13 and 22, making for a really distressing example of how young people can be lured into debt trap loans. That is in many ways, making for a really distressing example of how young people

can be lured into debt trap loans. That is in many ways, that's what he's trying to prove. Yeah, right. It's also as close as they could get to calling the place predatory loans and corporators calling it lion fucking whatever. Money lion. Money lion. Money lion.

You know, the most famous predator. Why? What? What? Don't tell me you're anti-African. Money Lion. Money Lion. Money Lion. You know, the most famous predator. Why? What? What? Don't tell me you're anti-African. Yeah, you hate animals, I get it. God, I hate that for you.

I hate to tell people about that. He also just has, like, granted, I grew up on some fairly shitty toys that were from, you know, they like he made Yeah, yeah kind of the those shows like started from the toy and like backed out of it So they weren't that bad. Mr. Beast has these toys like I don't even know what the fuck it is Like mr. Beast lab swarms mega lab pack and it's just like little shitty like this sorts of little like plastic toys that you would like Put like get out of one of those like machines Where you like put a quarter in and like spin it and it comes out and like the little plastic egg

It's just like six of those. Yeah Meal toys were more disappointing somehow, right? Yeah It looks like someone was just like in there in his like biz dev like department was like, what are some cheap fucking toys? We can just like slap a Mr. Beast slogan. They're like, what about these like tiny fucker things in a tube? We're just call them Mr. Beast Labs.

So like, again, what the way it's even talking is like 12 microbeasts inside experiment to create your swarms. What? It reminds me of like, ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape. Exactly. That's exactly what it is. It's getting children ready for the economy. Again, he's doing a service. So if you have one Astro ape and three slurp juices, you can create three new swarms for your beast lab. Like look at me. What? No.

100 plus to collect. There's also just question marks all over the packaging, which I think they're using to be like mystery. But in fact, just feels like, what the fuck is this shit? They're legally required to put question marks on them because they have no act, no legal meaning. I don't know. Anytime there's a lawsuit, they're like, your honor, we don't even really understand

what the intent of this toy, so how can we be held responsible? Yeah, you saw the question marks. Also the picture of this dude on here, he just looks like the third guy in charge at the most boring fraternity on campus. Like the goatee and the lack of charisma is, he feels again like that fucking,

like the SoundCloud right wing rapper. I feel that's what Mr. Beast looks like. He's got the vibe of like that kid at the college party who was like, my dad's a dentist, so I can get a bunch of nitrous oxide for this We don't want to do any more night, and he brings it anyway, and it's a huge tank He's like dude. I'll be roll this one in dude. This one's fucking heavy, bro

Anyway, is it cool if I party with you guys like man? I guess like that was his way into social life is great. You guys don't know this guy That's whose house we were at. We got to take him to the fucking kept trying to sell me like some like a bunch of swarms or something. Apparently this is what I'm reading. It says you use the test tube, add water cap the tube and shake it to accelerate the phys action reaction that reveals the

swarms. What the fuck, dude? This is nothing. These are Shrinky Dinks. Yeah, they're the monkeys. What are the monkeys that grow? What are the sea monkeys? Yeah, the sea monkeys. Yeah.

Oh, well, I mean, the kids like my nephews who are, you know, 12 and 10, gladly buy this guy's like fucking chocolate bars and shit. Oh, my God. Just so every the last two Halloween's I was blown away by how much of the candy was Mr. Beast candy. Yeah. Oh, wow. You live in a nice neighborhood.

Yeah. Mr. Beast candy. Yeah. Like a next level, dude. Yeah. Sorry, man. I hate to brag, you know, but I get that Mr. Beast candy, you know, that tastes like a shittier version of a Nestle Crunch Bar.
