by one of the very faces of Mount Zitemore. She is the hilarious and talented Lacey Mosley! Hey, what's up, y'all? What is happening?

You look Hollywood as fuck right now with your sunglasses on. Yeah, I'm not taking these sunglasses off. I'm so tired. Hey, do what you gotta do. I don't think I've ever worn sunglasses indoors. I hope, though, next time I see you, you do have them off because if you wear them again, I'm like, no, that was the day Lacey got too big. That was the day it changed.

She's like, I'm tired, guys. And then you're like, oh, I can't look at you. You will never see my eyes. I'm going to start being like her. How have you been, Lacey? I'm good. How's your new year going? It's been going really well. Yeah? Yeah. Except for this morning. It's been really tight well. Yeah? Yeah. Except for like this morning. It's been really tight.

Yeah. Yeah, we're recording this earlier than you. No, that's not why. That's not why. It's just my ass. It's all good, though. And I see you're in the gym. Yeah, a lot.

Every day your new address is the gym. It is. I live there. Yeah. And I feel like it's very annoying to put the gym on Instagram every day, but if I have to be there you have to look at it right

you're putting in the work I try to keep it interesting no and actually I thank you because I'm like by like association I feel like I'm at the gym too

so I don't go you got a mental workout just from like looking I got that workout in yeah I'm like as long as she's sweating basically been to the gym yeah

I saw someone working out. All right, Lacey, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to take our listeners through a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to check in with our favorite moms. Yes, I like them better than even our moms, you know? Wow. Speak for yourself. One million moms.

I mean, how can you argue with numbers like that? They're back in the news protesting. Burger King now. Some dumb shit. Okay. The worst. We're going to check in with Kellyanne Conway. Her defense of the president at the end of last week was spirited, impressive.

I mean, it's one of those things. She was like the human embodiment of somebody who didn't read the book. Right. Where you get asked a question, and you're like, yeah, that's an interesting question. I'm going to just start saying many other things and not actually demonstrate that I've read anything. So words are definitely coming out of my mouth and therefore it seems like I'm answering your question. It's a yes or no question. Is this a lie? The thing about a lie is

or is it lay? Lay down or lie down? We gotta look at who the president's lawyers might be, his defense team. No, who they are be. Who they are be? Yeah, this is them. I mean, things could change. You never know. They got the meets? Yeah, they got the meets, especially? Yeah, this is them. I mean, things could change. You never know.

They got the meats? Yeah, they got the meats, especially this gang of fucking weirdos. I mean, this is an absolute motley crew of- It's just like you couldn't pick a team that was more like, yeah, I'm guilty as fuck. Yeah, and also like that Trump just picked them too. Right. Like when they're like, you might want like people who are gonna- Nah, fuck it.

Let them do it. Yeah, we'll talk about it. Like when they're like, you might want like people who are gun... Nah, fuck it. Let him do it. Yeah, we'll talk about it. But there's almost no chance that he hasn't at least asked for one fictional character. Because it's so clear. Was Matlock a lawyer?

Yeah. Yeah, Matlock was a lawyer. Who else? The guy from Night Court. He's like John Larroquette from Night Court. That one bald dude from Night Court. Matthew McConaughey in A Night to Kill. Oh, yeah.

A Time to Kill. He was very sweaty. Yeah. We're going to check in with Boeing. That document dump was pretty revealing of what their corporate culture is and just how guilty they are. Awful. Yeah. I thought it was a joke.

Yo. Some of these quotes are wild. When Anna first brought this article up, i didn't think people were talking this dumb when so many lives are at stake i was speaking of things anna brought to our chat thread did you there i just i just we're not even going to talk about it but as we're going through stories uh the cnn article that was just last week yeah that was like why we shouldn't stop talking about the Bernie Elizabeth Warren feud. It was just like so transparent. Yeah.

Why we shouldn't stop. Why we shouldn't stop. By all of Silliza. Right. We're going to talk about NBC's new streaming platform, Peacock. People are suddenly talking about that. We're going to decide if we give a shit. Warner Brothers is using robots to decide what movies get made.

We're going to look at the movies that are coming out in 2020 and whether they will have any impact on the election. I hope so. All of that. Plenty more. But first, Lacey, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay, it's definitely, I've been searching sleeping and sleep patterns and like adults

and how much sleep you need right now. I was like, I've never been on a sleep schedule. I'm like really trash about sleep. Like I fall asleep in front of the TV. Oh, you just go till the battery goes to zero and then you sleep? I go to my TV, like I wake up and my TV is like on sleep mode where it's like, you haven't been watching this for a week. Like it's been watching me. Right, right. They're like, I wake up and my TV's, like, on sleep mode where it's like, you haven't been watching this for a week. Like, it's been watching me.

Right, right. They're like, are you okay? Literally, it's so bad. Like, I love TV so much. And I don't like just going to sleep in the fucking dark. That shit, like, it makes me so. Oh, interesting. Like, it's dark in my house except for the TV.

And I can't turn that shit off. I'm, like, addicted. Yeah. You need that warming glow to get you to sleep. I guess. I'll be going to sleep to the Golden Girls. I'll be waking up like, thank you for being a friend. I'm like, why is this happening? And now I'm starting to get to a point as an adult where I'm like, I can't continue to do this. So does it keep your attention and then keeps you up longer because the TV's on? Sometimes, you know, the girls,

they be lit. You know what I mean? The next thing I know, Rose got into some shenanigans at 4.30 in the morning. And that was my night last night for no fucking reason. I feel like if this were a TV show, you would then dream that you were a Golden Girl. I wish that shit would happen. That's the episode where suddenly Lacey's

one of the new Golden Girls? I always have weird ancillary dreams. Like, I'm selling China on the freeway. And I'm like, where did this come from? It's a hustle, though. This wasn't in the Golden Girls at all. I respect that hustle. Which freeway?

Very important. Which freeway? Selling China on the freeway. I don't feel like that's lucrative. Right. I'm in my dream. Like, I got the plates. I wish I had better business ideas in my dream.

Someone's like, aren't they going too fast for you to make a sale? You're like, I want a plate. I want a plate. I want some chives. Here, catch. God damn it. Yeah, that's really something you need to engage with people. It's not like selling oranges.

I made a fucking sale today. I feel like a lot of people are going through the same physical maladies. Like a lot of people. I got sick earlier this week. And I just, even just listening to to podcasts but like talking to people everyone like has somebody who's sick or and then i was like when i got better i started like having insomnia i feel like a lot of people are going through the same shit i was having so much to like get back into health right are you resting a lot or no no it was it was weird i i think yeah

maybe that was it or maybe it was like just getting back into things and like being stressed out about like all the shit that I still had to do or something. Oh, yeah. That'll keep you awake. In my Googles, they said stress, anxiety, which I was like, oh, I definitely have anxiety. I'd be waking up like in the movies. They wake up in the cold sweat like, oh. Yeah. I used to wake up every day like that for a solid six months.

I'm not even playing. Like, sit directly up. Uh-oh. Yeah. So I was like, damn, I need to fix what's going on in my life. Well, I have the same thing where I was waking up, like, on the dot, like, at 4.15. And I was just, like, tossing and turning, could not go back to sleep. Yeah.

And a lot of it is, like, in your mind, you'll either do the thing where you start replaying shit from the day before, and you're like, what the fuck did I do then? Yes. What the fuck was that? Or you're like, oh, shit, I got all this other shit I'm about to have to do. And I think one of the biggest things that I had to take up

was, like, actually, like, meditating a little bit, like, being more mindful, because the more you identify with your anxiety and shit and can't just be like that is happening but that is not me right now that's just my my like motivation mechanism going off then i was able to sleep a little bit better you just try meditation i have now some mindful because mindfulness really helps for insomnia i started really because adult swim was watching me and then the the Calm app has like a 15 second thing that they do

that's like close your eyes and it's just like rain sounds and I was like, oh, this is nice. This is better than this. Or you should try, there's a really good meditation podcast

I listen to by Tara Brock. T-A-R-A-B-R-A-C-H. And if you search Tara Brock like anxiety sleep on Spotify, she's like a 6 minute

12 minute 18 minute version that you listen to and it's just like breathing and like getting mindful and like just helps you like ease into sleep is she also selling me

Squarespace no no no she's like she's like a like a therapist who's just sort of like I didn't know about podcasts until my assistant

made me do these or just put us on like slightly slowed down mode. Yeah, yeah. And we become more relaxing. But it's like easing. I realize just from like breathing slowly as I get ready to first, like and intentionally being like, okay, breathe in for five seconds,

breathe out for five seconds and focus on that half the way through. Should we just incorporate that into the daily Zyka? Just have a part at the end, just unwind. I feel like people are listening to y'all's podcast in the morning or on their commute, though. You don't have people in their car. We're a shot of espresso. What is something you think is overrated?

Something that I think is overrated, honestly, the Democratic primaries. Overrated? Yes. Yeah, wow. I'm so tired of this fake drama, this Bernie Warren shit. Like, look, we all know the deal. Nobody's excited about none of you motherfuckers. Except for the Bernie heads, which we tired y'all and we've been tired y'all uh we're gonna go into the booth we're gonna vote and then whoever comes out on the other side guess what

we're throwing flash mobs so you're buying t-shirts for you i don't give a fuck for you you don't you don't like the the factioning off of everyone you're like let's just get to the point where we gotta go and vote this other motherfucker out. It just seems like the time for that has passed. Like, I feel like we should have been doing that shit earlier. And now, like, but we weren't because we had so many candidates. Right.

So at first it was just like, oh, we have 15 people on the stage. I don't know why. And now it's like, there's less people. And obviously we have front runners, but now there's like all these, you know, people just trying to drum up, you know, like if Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have a disagreement, they're debating. They're on a stage.

It's not a big deal. They've known each other for years. Like we don't need to hype it up. Like I don't need the news. I'm tired of the news trying to be fun. Right. Especially with CNN trying to make a scene. CNN acts like they're run by Bossip now.

I don't know if you know what Bossip is. But Bossip is like black gossip and they do like the most fun headlines. All Henny, no Coke. Listen, all the time. And it's lit. And I feel like CNN's like, we need those clicks, sis. Elizabeth Warren about to yeet the rich. No, you are a news station. It's like, wait,

CNN is a conglomerate of the Shade Room, Bossip, and what the fuck? And Baller Alert? And Baller Alert? And New York Times does that shit too. this is not what we come to you for i think it's just really it it's like a smack in the face when there are people who have real fucking pro like who are being like yo i really like student debt or medicare or things like my health insurance these are things that matter this other shit that's like oh oh my God,

can you believe that this is what they're saying? Like, no, no, no. See, now you're trying to take the focus off of what the real fucking problem is by making it like this real housewives of the Beltway type shit. And we don't need that. I think that they've severely underestimated their audience.

Like, I understand that clickbait is very popular. I understand that y'all can't sell a paper no more, honey. We get it. But we are still the same people that we were, you know, 30 years ago. Like, I like to open up. I don't open the newspaper. I do click on news websites. But I'm not going on there like, Soleimani is lit, sis, literally.

Like, I don't want to see shit like that. Like, y'all need to chill. Like, this is the news. Or they could just steer into the curve and get you to start writing their headlines for them. Because that was really good actually the Soleimani one Ted Turner's gonna hit you up

is he still alive? Ted Turner? yeah I think he's still out there does he still run CNN? that's how old my brain is in my mind

I'm like Ted Turner runs CNN that's how old I'm trying to get I'm trying to get so old that every time you see my name trending on Twitter you like get a palpitation

in your chest like it's Betty White's her birthday's on Friday it was on Friday so she name trending on Twitter, you get a palpitation in your chest. It's Betty White's birthday on Friday. It was on Friday, so she's trending on Twitter on Friday. And I was like, Betty! It's happened. And no, she's just 98. Wow.

God. Good for her. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? The Circle. The Circle. Oh, shit. Is it?

I was going to start watching it because it looks like such a fucking. It was hard for me to understand. It's the worst thing I've ever watched, and I love it so much. The premise of The Circle is eight people, and it started in London, and then they adapted it to the US, but they still shoot it over in the UK. So they flew a bunch of Americans over there. Oh, that's shot in the UK? Yeah.

Oh, okay. I didn't realize. So they're in this apartment building called The Circle and they're like little lab rats. They're all in their own little teeny apartment by themselves, honey. Right. And all they can talk to

is The Circle which is an app on a TV. The TV, right. Yeah, and so they talk and interact and it's like combinations of different social media profiles so they can post pics sometimes

or change their profile picture. They can like post little status updates and they can interact with each other and they have games and challenges and shit and then they have to rate each other each week and two people become influencers and then they block somebody wow you're trying to win so you can get a hundred thousand dollars which after taxes is not a lot of money no um but we're talking about like about 55 000 yeah literally and people are like crying when they want it's's crazy. And they're like quarantined in there by themselves? Yes, alone.

For how long? I feel like it can only be a couple weeks, if that, because any longer would be inhumane. But in the way they're shooting the episodes, they could be in there for like 10 days. Right. Like, they shoot them pretty quick. Right. And they make you talk, so you can't type out your messages. You have to be like, message.

Hey, what's up, everybody? I'm feeling crazy today, LOL. And then they won't be out your messages. You have to be like, message. Hey, what's up, everybody? I'm feeling crazy today, LOL. And then they won't be smiling or nothing. And they'll be like, send message. Wow. Yeah. But the game of it is that people can just present themselves however they want to, right? So there are a few catfishes and there are a few real people.

And there's one catfish who is a man pretending to be a woman. And it's crazy because he does not know how to be a woman at all. And sounds like a complete psychopath. Oh, his strategy is to sound like a woman, but he's just so inept at it. Yes, he's using his girlfriend's pictures, which I'm not even sure is his girlfriend. He looks like the kind of guy who owns a fish tank. And we know those people are murderers. Wait, well, how big?

How big is a fish tank? Like one of those where you could like five feet long. Yeah, an aquarium. Yeah, not, how big? How big is a fish stick? Like one of those where you could like. You mean like an aquarium. Five feet long. Yeah, an aquarium. Yeah, not a little fish bowl. Yeah, because that's the sociopath pet. You know what I mean? What's the, how, wait, so is there a threshold from fish bowl to aquarium?

If you have a fish bowl, I could rock with a fish bowl because that could have been a gift or it could be for your kids. But if you have an aquarium where you literally got like little bitches in a box and you putting food in there and feeding them and looking at them because that's all you can do with a fish. You can't actually pet a fish or love a fish. A fish don't come to you when you say come or you tap on the glass. It's a murderer pet.

It's like, I got you in a little box, bitch. And that's exactly what watching the circle is like. It's like little fish in little boxes. I like your aquatic liberation ideology right now. It's like freedom fish. I literally was going to go on a date with a guy. He took a picture with him next to his fish tank. And I said, oh, hell no.

I was like, you know, it's so nice to meet you, but we can stay friends. I'm not about to be chopped up in his freezer. You playing with me? No. That's not how I'm going to die. So the way they interact with each other. So back to the circle, though. Do they see the camera of the other people?

No. Oh, so they're just interacting with like. A photo. Via posts and photos. Just a photo. So when you're looking at this photo, like these people could be who they say they are. They could be somebody else.

And then it's funny because some real people get mistaken for catfish because they upload a couple photos that like don't look the same as the other one. Like, maybe they change their look a lot and then that becomes the whole thing. It was, I loved it. Because it was also nice to watch how people really interact on social media and how they read things and how things are percepted. And also, like, just watching people lie.

Right, right. Because, like, people be like, ha, ha, ha, I'm dying right now. You are so crazy. And they're like, wow. Stone face. Yeah. That's great. And it's hosted by Michelle Buteau.

Yes, and that's also great because she's so shady. Who's Michelle Buteau? She's a stand-up. She was in that movie, Always Be My Maybe, as Homegirls' assistant. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's really funny. She's very funny and she makes commentary all throughout and talks about what they wear

and how they act. It's very funny. There's like a guy who, this isn't a spoiler, but there's a guy who plays a woman and you know up from jump and he gets into a group chat with all women and they start talking about their periods and he's trying to contribute. He's like, yeah yeah my flow is popping as well oh i wish he was that good it's not even that good wait how could it be worse than that he's like

this is not a spoiler but he's like yeah y'all my left side was hurting so bad and everybody was like your left side it's just the vague the vagueness of a man who's just like totally out of touch with his body. And I was like, bitch, you gotta be careful. Like, you should check that out. Oh, my left side. So much blood, LOL. I perioded. I perioded so hard last night.

Perioded. I perioded so hard last night. One question I had about that is, is he assigned that role? No. So it's a game because they're trying to win the $100,000. So people have strategies. Got it. So his strategy was, I don't think I would ever win as a guy because women do better on social media than men. So he was like, I'm going to play my girlfriend.

But I don't even think that's his damn girlfriend. They showed her and she talked to him, but it just doesn't seem plausible. What do you mean, because of the energy? Yes, he has very strange energy. Okay. Yes, very bizarre, but I was still into it. A lot of men out here with very strange energy

who have very normal girlfriends, in my experience. Well, you know what, that's because it's so hard. I told you the bar is on the floor. I was like, the only reason I didn't go out with that guy is because I was like, he probably is going to murder me. If he wasn't going to murder me, then I was going to have to try to give love a chance. It's rough out here. I don't know.

Like, sure. Anything else? Not a red flag. What is a myth? What's something people think is true, you know, to be false? So a myth is like when you get a hospital bill, it's not finite. Like that's not like when you get a bill from a hospital, that's a suggestion. Like an open ended.

Yes, it truly is. Like I've been doing a lot of research on this because a woman got on Twitter and commented about how she got a bill from the hospital. And she called them back and asked for an itemized bill, and then they took a bunch of charges off. And then I went on a deep dive on this just to see if this was true. I talked to a lot of people who go to the hospital quite often because they have chronic conditions. I got online.

I Googled a lot of different sites that are talking about money saving. And y'all, the hospital is scamming. Those bills are not real. They charge $25 for a Band-Aid. Oh, yeah. Like, I'm not even playing. If you call the hospital when you get a bill in the mail, because they'll just send you a bill and be like,

hey, sis, you came in. We gave you a Xanax for your panic attack. That'll be $1,900. And if you call them back, they'll be like, oh, OK. So we're going to take off the walk into your room fee. Yeah. We're going to take off the light fee. Right. OK, so we'll call it an even 40. Right. Like, we're going to take off the walk into your room fee. Yeah. We're going to take off the light fee.

Right. Okay, so we'll call it an even 40. Right. Like, we're going to take off the Band-Aid fee. Like, I've seen people reduce. And even that, you get Xanax for less than 40 bucks on the street. Literally. All right. You can't do that no more, though.

Those were the good old days. Yeah. All right, what do you have on you? Just tell us, what do you have on you? And we'll work with that. That is such, yeah, I mean, I think that is another prime example of what the stakes are, right? Like, when you talk about the election, that, yeah, this is also how our healthcare system is operating. And why is that a thing?

Yeah. Like, and people are paying it because most of the time we have insurance, but that's obviously not the case for a lot of our population. But if you do have insurance, you're just putting your insurance card down. They're billing the insurance people just a random amount and then maybe they bill you if there's some overhead.

But if you don't call and ask, they are literally in there just adding whatever the fuck they want. Yeah. It's crazy. It really is.

So like guys, if you go to the hospital, if your kids go to the hospital, like when you get that bill, go ahead and hit up Cedars-Sinai and be like, hey sis, print me the itemized.

Yes. Right. And they will send you the real amount. And they will send you the real amount. And they're like, oh, damn. Okay. Can you give us some time? No, you just hit print.

I have to look at some stuff first. What you gotta look at? Well, there's different items. I have to figure out. Ma'am, I see you deleting vigorously. Hey, knock around and take your fucking wallet. Honestly, I would respect the hospital more. If the security guard, when you leave, just pulled out a gun and was like, hey. I'm sorry, I'm going to have to run your shit.

The security guard wearing black Air Forces. I'm like, I was wondering why he was wearing black Air Forces. You should never walk if they're wearing black Air Forces. As Desus and Mero say, a man wearing black Air Forces has nothing to lose. Nothing. Okay. He will rob you. All right.

We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. They're just dreams. Latica like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is,

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit,

where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in prints. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that.

Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this.

Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar.

We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask

as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. And I believe we have some audio from Kellyanne Conway. So it's a tough time for the Kellyanne Conways, the Kellys and Conway of the world, because there's just a lot of shit.

Like, we already knew Trump was guilty of, you know, just all sorts of campaign meddling, campaign cheating. Obstruction of justice. Obstruction of justice. Lying. Human rights violations. Withholding. Yeah.

War crimes. Withholding money to an ally against Russia. And then the left partner shit hit. And then the texts started coming out. Documents. So many receipts. And then what's the body that determined that his withholding congressional mandated support for ukraine was gao the government accountability office yeah they

were like that's not okay that's a crime yeah you're not allowed to do that yeah it's just been all the dumb defenses have just been vaporizing before their eyes in terms of like evidence coming out. And, you know, now that the impeachment trial is starting today, basically, you know, it's begun to put a lot of pressure on everybody involved. I mean, we saw Martha McSally last week getting pressed by a journalist saying like, hey, would you consider this new evidence that comes out? And she's like, don't talk to me. You're a liberal hack. It's like, wow. OK, me. You're a liberal hack. It's like, wow. Okay.

Somebody in their back a little bit. So when Kellyanne Conway, she went on Fox News, right? Which is typically, you know, the pillow fight. Like that's the hardest you're going to get. Right. Light touch. Light tap. Those are the homies.

Yeah. They were trying to get her to answer basically directly to be like, hey, does the White House, you know, are they refuting all of this stuff that Lev Parnas said? Because he's basically implicating the president, the vice president, William Barr, fucking everybody. Yeah. Even that R&B group, Pretty Ricky. Yeah, Pretty Ricky's involved. So what happened on this segment on Fox, they gave her the opportunity. Hey, Lev Parnas said this.

What does the White House say? So this is their first attempt at trying to get her to answer this very straightforward question. Is it true or is it false that the president knew all about this shit? I saw the statement from Stephanie Grisham out late last night. I know he also implicated Bill Barr in this, and apparently the DOJ said 100% false. What is the White House's position on his allegations that are now public? Well, remember, people go on TV are never under oath.

This is someone who hadn't come forward on his own volition. He was arrested and then indicted on some pretty serious charges. And when you have the vice president's chief of staff, my colleague, Mark Short, this morning saying that. OK, so that was they tried.

They said, hey, that's a lie, right? Because that's easy. If it's a lie, normally they're like, staff my colleague mark short this morning saying that okay we so that was they tried they said hey that's a lie right because that's easy if it's a lie normally they're like yeah that's absolute 100 fabricated nonsense we stand by that but that wasn't the answer so kelly and con woman ain't catching herself and no more lies well check so now they here's take two the fox anchors try and ask one more time about that doesn't have credibility. I understand what you're saying. But are you are you saying flat out, 100 percent what he alleges is not true? Yes or no? When Lev Parnas says he get to the court of law, when he says the president knew all of my moves, he gave consent. Objection. You cannot say what somebody else knew or thought.

Objection. And so you're just spinning the wheels again. What? Objection. It's very easy. You cannot say what somebody knew or thought. Okay, but if I tell you and you are coherent and we make an eye contact and we speak about it, we have a conversation. And then you say something about what I had just said to you.

Yeah, you repeat back information and add information. Objection. I don't have to ask a question to say this statement to be true. Lacey Mosley is on the Daily Zeitgeist right now, and she knows she's on the Daily Zeitgeist. Objection, Miles. You don't know what she knows. I don't know where I am. Right.

I have no clue where I'm at. I wish y'all could see this it's such a whole other energy with the sunglasses on I feel like I have to take them off no no no I love this you're pressuring me it's like a whole I need it but they literally said yes or no yes or no and then she went into

an indictment on his credibility but here's the thing like sis if he's lying you could just say he's lying right but they're not saying that so they gave her another chance here's chance number three wow a less than one percent on the president's economy and trade sorry and most of their time in ukraine is he lying or not kellyanne well he's a proven liar he's he's been indicted and so i, look, I've never heard the president mention this person to me ever a single time. Just as, just as. Okay, so again.

Uh-huh. They were even getting, they were getting tired of it. They're like, let's just cut through it. Right. I think which is the bullshit, basically. I think he was probably reacting to the producer in his ear being like, god damn it. Shut her up. Because like he's, he's not talking to her when he says,

let's just cut through it. I feel like it doesn't make sense. It's more like, all right, let's just cut through it. Let's cut through her bullshit. See, he literally just kept saying

yes or no. Easy, easy. And then he even just said, is he lying? And she was like, okay, look, is he lying? What I can't tell you is

he has lied in the past right what the fuck okay easy and i wonder if fox again thought maybe they would just get the neat sound bite out of her saying that's what they wanted it isn't like that right but i guess but at a certain point you'd think if they're not if it's clear by the third time she does she's not interested in answering this question it's just that they would move on. So they try a fourth time. I think it's a bit to just finish on that point.

It's a yes or no question. Trump knew exactly what was going on, said Les Partis. And we're asking, is that statement true or false? Trump knew what was going on. How? In other words, what is Les Partis actually saying? He's saying the president knew all of my moves. i wouldn't have done it without consent of the president where did he get consent of the president to do that the president what the president doesn't need again there you go

lev parnes is saying what the president prez i dentist dentist appointment now have you had your teeth cleaned in the last six months also are using tartar control of the toothpaste like what the fuck if you don't floss it can lead to gingivitis I can't even say gingivitis but like what I think it shows again that they know just like she doesn't even want to be out here saying that like a lie even though she's normally very comfortable lying on behalf of the president for whatever reason this really uh is a bit i don't know it's making her nervy i feel like they've run out of lies or at least over there they're like look we can't have no more photos pop up no more receipts just go on there and i don't know talk about the weather just bring everything back to the weather right yes and And it's funny because as she goes, I don't know.

I've never heard of this Lev Parnas guy. A cut to our man, Lev Parnas, just uploading the selfie with Kellyanne Conway. Yo. I mean, again, you can argue because these people are celebrities in MAGA world. Like, yeah, you do probably flick it up with a lot of people who are like, hi, can I get a photo with you? Yeah, but here's the thing. As a selfie analyzer, as someone who takes a lot of selfies, I can always

tell, because people love doing this on the internet. They love taking a picture with a celebrity that they have ambushed out the bathroom. They just shook their penis off and now you're trying to get a photo. And you can always tell in those photos when one person is only slightly a willing participant in the photo.

Make it quick. And that has to do with proximity. That has to do with facial expression. That has to do with if they're smiling. If they're smiling widely, if they're smiling like this is my job to smile, or if they're smiling like maybe they were laughing and engaging in a conversation.

Are their eyes smiling along with their mouth? Exactly, are they smizing? Also, so if you look at this photo, they're both smiling. It looks like a genuine smile. Their heads are very close together. They're leaned in. I feel like Kellyanne is not the baddest, so they probably had to

take a few of these before they got a good one of her. So this is probably one of several photos. Yeah, there's a good picture of her. And they said, let me pick the one. Okay, I'll upload that one. Because it's also older people taking a selfie, and we all know they like to go under the chin. They like to go under the nose. So I feel like that took a couple tries.

And she knows him. Yeah, she's hitting her angles. And their vibe seems to be the same. Like they look... Yeah, they're both on the same page. I'm a selfie sleuth, and they know each other. That's not a just, I ran into you outside. See, and this is why Nancy Pelosi should have made you

one of the impeachment managers. This could be like a- I'd just be there for petty shit. This could be a corner on CNN, though. I'm serious. You should- You could be like, and we're bringing in selfie analyst Lacey Mosley.

Hi, so happy to be here, guys. And you wear the sunglasses, though, too. I need one of those laser pointers. I want them to bring it up on a big weather map behind me, and I point out all the incongruencies. Or it's like an NFL where you're doing play analysis. You're just marking the screen up. You're like, if you look right here,

here are the arrows to the eyes. Now, you see the hand here. Now, notice the separation. We call this the Keanu. I love the idea, by the way, of just ambushing someone after they just shook their penis off. I think that is good advice. Oh, you said shit.

I heard it is shit their penis off. I thought that was funny. It was so wild. I was like, whoa. Both work. Obviously, I don't have a penis. So I'm like, y'all shake it off right after you eat. Oh, yeah.

And we also shit it off sometimes, apparently. I don't know. I just thought that was like, whoa, that would be fucked up. Shit your penis off. It's okay, Miles. We know you shit your penis yeah thank you tbd so like you said the uh impeachment is beginning today girl i'm talking about impeaching this creep uh and let let's take a look at the two sides shall shall we? Yeah. So on one side, we have the very workmanlike team of impeachment managers that Nancy Pelosi announced, revealed last week. And it's just good people. Look, it's Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, the respective chairs of the Intel Judiciary Committee. You got Zoe Lofgren, who was a staffer for the Judiciary Committee during the Nixon impeachment.

Was a member of the panel during the Clinton impeachment. OJ impeachment. OJ does make an appearance. I said OG, but... OJ also makes an appearance. Then you have Hakeem Jeffries, who's been like the caucus leader. You have Val Demings, who was the Orlando police chief, has also sat on the intel and judiciary committees and was pretty good with her questions that she asked. And even Sylvia Garcia from Texas, who was running like the municipal, like was a municipal judge in Houston. So like

you have people who are like, have like, like legal minds and who are very, very, very aware of all the details of this case. So you're like, okay, this is actually a really good assembly and variety of people and expertise and backgrounds. Right. But can Nancy Pelosi turn on the TV and see all those people breaking down the case with just loud takes? Oh, yeah. That's what's important because the president's team was announced and it's TV lawyers. Yeah. It's like you got Dershowitz.

Uh-oh. Dershowitz. Interesting time to let the world know you guys are on the same side since he is implicated in all that Epstein shit. And was, yeah, caping for OJ. Yes. Also caping for OJ. Just, you know, world famous, I defend guilty people. And also, remember recently with all the Epstein stuff,

how awkwardly he was trying to defend himself from any allegations of wrongdoing? Yeah, he claimed it was a conspiracy by some other lawyer. Yeah. I was like, I never knew anything about it. Yeah, you could also just directly come out and talk about what they're accusing you of.

Right. He's doing the Kellyanne Con woman. Yes, exactly. Yes. There's Ken'sarr, which... Hilarious. It's... I don't know.

Are they... Is that, like, for scale? Like, that they're just, like, to keep it in perspective, like, what a Republican will impeach someone for versus what this is about? I don't know. Yeah. I think it's maybe because he's been on TV a lot.

Yeah. Because again, you know, Trump lives through whatever's happening on the TV. He's like, okay, that guy said something good on TV. That's reality to me. So that's who I'll appoint to defend me in a legal proceeding. Give me Judge Joe Brown. Yeah, exactly. Give me Judge Judy.

I need Judge Joe Mathis and Judge Hatchet. I like her short hair. But yeah, I think, you know, again, these are all people who will make good, I think, they'll grandstand in the Senate. Yeah. And it shows, and also Pam Bondi, who was the former AG

at Florida and famous NRA protector. She's also on that team, too. So it's a lot of people who like to get bad, loud, long takes off on TV. And a lot of people were speculating that maybe some people like Jim Jordan from the House or like Doug Collins might be part of this team because they were defending the president in the House. But I think a lot of Republicans in the Senate were like, no, those guys are clowns and they're going to make it look really dumb because like this has to have some semblance of a like a legitimate trial because they even know.

I mean, their base don't care about that, of course. But I think for the the for people who might go to the polls against them or vote against them, like if they're especially senators, they want to at least be able to pretend it wasn't a sham, even though it 100 percent is looking like a sham at this point. So it felt like, OK, let's not have those loud mouths on. Let's get people who will just, you know, make some maybe get us some sound bites and we can score some points on TV. But who's going to be left to take Trump's side on Fox News and like cable shows when like Dershowitz and Ken Starr are gone. Like those were the main guys.

Yeah. I'm sure they have just like a next man up mentality. They do. And I think the people who are going to be coming in, one of them is John Schnatter, formerly Papa John. Oh word. Yeah.

He's going to be one of the legal analysts for Fox. He's so sweaty. I honestly, I think he's just getting to a point where they need like, Hey, Papa John, what's your take on this impeachment? And he's like,

I've had 40 pizzas in 30 days. Just moves along a snail trail. Yeah. Yeah. Um, let's talk about Boeing. This is something that came out maybe a couple of weeks ago, but it was a document dump that,

uh, I, I just want to read some of these quotes. So, you know, you know there was speculation that they knew something was wrong with the max 3 whatever

the max 737 max the 737 max before there were two two fatal crashes that happened and that people think were part of, you know, basically it's like pilot error,

but the software was really fucking with them. Yeah. You know what pilot error? Yeah. So the plane stopped working and the pilot couldn't get it to work again. So we call him that pilot error. Oh, we didn't tell him that there was this other shit he had to know about.

And the other thing is that the tone is very like bro-y. It's like very, I don't know, frat-y. So one of the emails. This is like from executives within Boeing basically? Yeah, from executives within Boeing. One of the emails is a guy saying, I still haven't been forgiven for the covering up I did last year

when referring to their interactions with the FAA. So like, I still, yo, bro, I still haven't been forgiven for what I did in Vegas last weekend. You know what I'm saying, brother? You know when those people die, bro? You know what I'm saying? I'm on my knees right now, man. I'm like, come on, man.

This is annoying. Yeah. So that's how they view their interactions with the faa is just like oh man here they go i put in some work on f on the faa last year uh also there's a pilots and shit involved in some of these conversations uh boeing employs pilots uh so what one exchange goes would you put your family on a Mac simulator trained aircraft? I wouldn't, one employee said to a colleague, before the first crash, by the way. Wow.

This was not after. They were talking about the thing that was going to cause the crashes before the first crash. And the colleague responded, no, I would not. Oh, my God. And the colleague responded, no, I would not. Oh, my God. In another set of messages, employees questioned the design of the MAX and denigrated their own colleagues. This airplane is designed by clowns who are in turn supervised by monkeys. Holy shit.

I mean, at that point, like. Now, that's something that happens in the engineering community. But the issue is, is like you guys aren't making like a stove or a washing machine you're making something that literally goes in the sky and can kill lots of people and that's so scary because when you talk about big companies like that like pharmaceutical companies for instance they'll put out a drug and then have a safer version of that drug but not sell it until they've sold out on the patent of the other drug and then when people sue because they've died it's almost always cheaper to pay out the people who died and sued than it would have been to recall the drug and put out the other one right so they're

making money so they don't care about those fatalities they know they happen for them it's a part of the business but we cannot have the airline company talking about okay well a few max is gonna go down, you know, a few families gonna die, but we gonna be Gucci in the end. That's not a risk that we should be willing to take. What do you want me to do? It's designed by clowns. Supervised by monkeys. What the fuck? How the fuck

am I supposed to help out? And another colorful metaphor. So they were talking about a presentation they gave the FAA in order to get them to approve this, but they made it intentionally complicated so the FAA wouldn't really know what the fuck was going on. Oh, pick up on how messed up. Yeah, just used a bunch of engineering lingo. And the Boeing employee said, it was like dogs watching TV, bro.

They didn't get it. They didn't know what was going on. We're good. We're gooch. We're gooch. We're gooch. This shows you, man, when capitalism runs wild, people are just so focused on being like, look, we got shareholders.

I got to show profits. I don't give a fuck. If people die. Yeah, because at the end of the day, what I think, 346 people basically passed away in those two crashes. Yeah. And it's so easy to pass the buck to somebody when you're in a large company. It's like, OK, maybe I was one of the monkeys who supervised.

Maybe I was one of the clowns who made it, but I'm not the boss. Well, because everyone has the mentality of like being able to pass the buck of sort of like, well, I'm not the clown. Right. OK, the clown is who designed it. Right. I'm the ringleader with the stool in his hand and whip and that's it like what do you do but it's exactly like if you're part of any other shit organization if you're a nazi it doesn't matter if you're just a nazi who refills the toilet paper and gets new

light bulbs for the concentration camp you still a nazi like you're all complicit you're all bad yeah especially when they know like they're they're actually articulating to each other that this is not good. It has problems. And then it's still like, yeah, we knew, and we do it anyway. And, I mean, I think this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody because, like you're saying, in nearly any industry, it happens all the time. Because they have, they've done the math on what it costs to just do the quick version that makes more money. And, you know, it's all, it's all been foretold. the quick version that makes more money.

And, you know, it's all been foretold. The Boeing thing in particular, I don't know if we should view this as way worse because of just how awful it would be to die in a plane crash. Like, that is the worst. The worst thing I can imagine happening. Like, your realest fear is being confirmed. Yeah, exactly. Can you imagine being in the air and you turn to the wing and that joint is aflame?

Right. Yes. Bruh. No. Yeah. And then you just gotta die on the box. And then you gotta blow up. Oh my God.

I used to be really anxious getting on planes. I mean, I fly a lot, but in the back of my mind, I would like look around and be like, what's the story they'll tell about this flight? Right. Like I've said that shit in my head. I have too. And I'm like, I need look around and be like, what's the story they'll tell about this flight? Right. I've said that shit in my head and I'm like, I need to chill the fuck out. I got on a plane with Beyonce, Mama Tina Knowles and I said, oh, I'm good on this flight. They ain't gonna let

Beyonce Mama die. I slept real good on that flight. I said, shit, we making it to the destination on this bitch. But any other flight, I'm like, damn, I'm on here with a bunch of randos about to die. Oh, God, that's so sick. Honestly, I think a lot of this happens because about to die oh god that's so sick honestly I think a lot of this happens because there's no real repercussions for the sick shit that people do anymore I think

that if you really had to worry about the bereaved families of 346 people showing up to your job and whooping your fucking ass yeah right like if there was a real repercussion for these actions other than a law or sanction or a fine well I think that's where they have to they have to begin holding individuals accountable because now it's just sort of like, well, I guess we'll fine, the FAA will fine Boeing. And where does that money go? Not to the families. For like 2% of

what their profits are. You know what I mean? It doesn't functionally work as a deterrent and I think that's the issue. No, jail time and the hood jail. You gotta go to jail jail. You gotta go county. But I think that's the thing. If you go, like, you know, for these people, they know. They can just, they know even if this is bad, it's never going to fall onto them. Yeah.

And I think that's where it, you know, not to say that these people are the ones that are directly responsible, because obviously this is just how it's being communicated internally. But, like, at some point, you have to begin to identify where these things happen, where those decisions are made, and, you know, hold people accountable. Yeah. internally but like at some point you have to begin to identify where these things happen where those decisions are made and you know hold people accountable yeah because if it's a mistake that's one thing or there's an accident but there's a different thing if y'all are joking about how you would never fly on this plane right then these planes are killing and then like tricking the faa and yeah yeah tricking the faa it just suggests that they knew like they they did know what they

were doing they were it wasn't a fucking mistake that was like whoops uh you know we we made a design error it was they they knew they were you know fooling people in order to like get uh get them give them the ability to sell a dangerous airplane well then we need to do a hard rebrand on Boeing. Yeah. I'm going to get some Boeing or with some flames on it like a plane crashing. Like, we're going to rebrand your whole shit. Yeah.

All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.

That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes

led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only

the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away.

And something that people started talking about towards the end of last week is NBC has a streaming service called Peacock. Yep. And we're all like, what is it going to be? What is it going to be? It's coming out in July.

This is probably the least excited I've been. Well, there's too many fucking streaming services. It really is. A lot of people are saying you're streaming so much shit or you're slapping together so many streaming plans if you are the one paying for them. Let's pretend because I don't know anybody who actually pays for all of them.

We all know it takes a village to entertain ourselves. If you did that, you might as well just get the most top tier DirecTV package or whatever. Yeah, you know, if you did that, you might as well just get like the most top tier direct TV package or whatever. Yeah, I got cable. Shit, yeah. Oh, for you, you're like, no, don't need it. I went back to cable.

Did you? Oh, you went back. You cut the cord and then reattached it? I got some tape and then I put the cord back together. And you're like, please make this work. Please. It was a bunch of sparks. I was like, please.

I looked like I was working for Boeing. No, because it's just too much. And I think what people are going to start to realize, or companies, is that you're just going to kill off all the money that you spend on whatever programming you're putting on these streaming platforms. Because I've gotten to a point where I'm like, I'm good. Like, you could have the best TV show.

I don't give a fuck. Like, there's something else on that I can watch that's on one of these platforms I already got. Yeah. It's reached a level of quality that there's just good, things are good enough on lots of different places. Because there's satisficers and there's maximizers. And I don't think there's enough people trying to maximize

their entertainment-like resources to the point where they're going to have like 20 apps. Right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think we all reach a point where we're like, I'm good. Yeah, at a certain point I'm like, well, okay, I mean. So the thing is they're going to have three tiers.

There's going to be a totally free one, which has limited programming, and it's all ads. So it's like Hulu back in the day when you could use it for free. And then there's one, if you're a Comcast customer, you get a free version for that one. Then there's a $5 a month version for other people. If you just want to get in for $5, there's ads. And then $10 a month, ad free. Hulu is 11 ad free. Right.

But the thing is there's so much crossover, right? Because Hulu also has content from these networks. Now, are they going to take all their content off the platform? That's the thing is that eventually a lot of this stuff, the plan is that Peacock is going to begin making a lot of stuff exclusive to peacock to be like okay because a lot of people watch hulu watch saturday night live on hulu or something or like you check you check it out through hulu eventually that'll just be on peacock so i feel like hulu could end up losing a lot of offerings right um and then i think i mean the advantages that

peacock has that i see is, like, the TV aspect is, like, they've had some of the top shows of the last 20 years. Right. And then also. Yeah, The Office, Parks and Rec. Like, they have a decent offering. Yeah. You know, like, feel like ER.

I do like Good Girls. AE. Is that NBC? Yeah. I started watching it on Netflix, but the thing is, I don't know anymore what anything comes from. I'm like, I thought it was a Netflix show. Is thing is, I don't know anymore what anything comes from. I'm like, I thought it was a Netflix show.

Is Good Girls really good? Oh, it's tasty. I started watching the first season and I kept watching. If you ever watched Mad Money, it's like that movie, Mad Money with Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton

and Katie Holmes. I thought you meant Jim Cramer. Oh. On CNN. It's just like Jim Cramer. This is a very strange place to start. Just pulling levers, hitting buzzers and shit.

Like, okay. He's doing a buzzer solo. You'll love it. But the other thing that I think NBC has is their sports offerings. Because this is going to come out around the time of the Olympics. So you'll get like, there'll be like more Olympic content. For me personally, because they have the rights to the English Premier League, that's where my head will start to turn.

Because right now, if you want every Premier League match, you have to pay for another package or whatever. So if you pay $10, you get all this. Is this where The Office went? It's going to be on this? Not until 2021. Okay. Because Netflix was like, please, we'll give you whatever you want.

Come on, man. How much do you want? I just don't know where they think we got all this money to give to y'all. Exactly. People don't have health insurance, NBC. Like, no. Yes. That's what I think a lot of people who are analyzing the markets are looking at.

I'm like, I don't know. Like, is this going to drive people back to cable? It's going to reach a point where it's like if you have all of them, you're spending like close to 80 bucks a month or some shit. Oh, you're spending more. Like we already added up the ones that we have, and it's around $90, $100. If you're paying for all of them yourself. Right.

Now, a lot of people are sharing that. Spread it out. Yeah. But my thing was, I was like, I just went back to fucking cable, and I just hit record on whatever shows and on my stories. Watch them later. I'm like a grandma again. And I love it. That's all my DVR.

No, and I think that's what'll happen because eventually, right, I know Netflix or one of the streaming platforms, they're investing heavily on trying to figure out how to limit the striminals. Right. You know, the real people who share logins and shit like that. They'll never fucking stop us.

They'll never stop us. I got a jailbroken fire stick, bitch. If I want to get on the VPN, I'll bust out my old Cody. I got that Cody box. I got that little robot too. Like stop playing with us.

Right. Don't fuck with us. Well, especially, I mean, there will always be ways to watch shit for free. Right. But I think with Netflix, though, like, they realize, they're like, damn, we could juice people for a lot more money if we can start being like, oh, sorry, this isn't in that house. Oh, but you never will.

Sometimes I just steal stuff just to steal it. I be having the Netflix. I be having the program. I just still go on my tour. Wow. Because I just steal stuff just to steal it. I be having the Netflix. I be having the program. I just still go on my torrent. Wow. Because I want to feel alive. Yeah, you're like, I want to own this MP4. Real quick, One Million Moms is protesting again,

getting those headlines because they are mad that a Burger King ad is one of the ones where they trick people. People think they're eating a Whopper. It's impossible. And one guy says, damn, that's good. That's what they're upset about. One guy says, I'm a damn fool. Yeah.

I mean, the fact, so if you remember, the last time they were in the news is because they were upset that the Hallmark Channel would dare show a commercial for Zola that depicted a lesbian couple being married. Right. They were like, what is this? Yeah. And now, because they use the D word. Which is what they call it. Yeah.

The D word. They say. Other D words. It says, this is from One Million Moms, their press release. In the Burger King commercial that is currently airing on TV, customers' responses are being videoed as they taste test the Impossible Whopper. One man is completely shocked that the burger is not beef, so he uses the D word to describe how he feels about himself for being deceived by the taste of the burger.

Huh. Well, I'd suck my own dick if that ain't beef. What the fuck is he? In my mind, I'm like, if I read that, I'm beef. What the fuck is he? In my mind, I'm like, if I read that, I'm like, what the fuck are you saying?

Slap me with my own dick. Okay. And they said it was, quote, damaging to impressionable children. Right. Have they seen TikTok? You think your kids

haven't heard curse words? Yeah. Also, there are children starving and I don't like to be one of those people who's like, we can't walk and chew gum

at the same time, but your cause is fucking stupid one million moms go help real children who need fucking help that's the whole thing they're not they're not even one million moms they're a thou they're like maybe a thousand angry conservative white people yeah there are a thousand karens that's what y'all need to change y'all's name to y'all are a thousand karens dude one thousand karens would actually show me to my core. That terrifies me. Could you imagine? That's way stronger of a name than one million Karens. That actually sends chills up my spine to hear the idea of

one thousand Karens. Oh my god, everyone's got a blonde, short, spiky haircut. Oh. Like Kate Gosselin back in Johnny K plus 8, the early days. I'm terrified right now. Could you imagine the 1 million Karen March? That is a nightmare.

That's Jordan Peele's next movie. That's your next movie. You're welcome. 1 million Karen March. Jesus. That's such a waste of our time and resources. Like shut up. Yeah.

And they also are huge Trump supporters who says damn all the time and resources. Shut up. Yeah, and they also are huge Trump supporters who says damn all the time and they don't care when he says it. He said god damn. Your president says damn, he curses, he talks about grabbing women by the pussy, and you don't care about that, but you care about the D word

in a damn commercial. Yeah, they need something. The last time anybody was worried about the word damn in pop culture was 1939 with Gone with the Wind. Oh, because he says, quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn or something? Yeah, they tried to make him say,

frankly, my dear, I don't care. Oh, no, that's not as hot. That would have fucked the whole movie up. The whole movie. Frankly, my dear. I don't care. I don't care. I'm ambivalent.

Yeah. Meanwhile, there are four moms who are occupying a Bay Area house to protest the housing crisis there and got arrested and are being real ones. There are moms who are actually doing good shit. So let's pay attention to them and support them. Shout out to those moms. Yes. Yeah.

And finally, robots are maybe going to decide what movies get made at Warner Brothers. I think robots already are deciding what movies are getting made at Warner Brothers. Yeah, basically. Yeah. They're teaming up with a company called Sinalytic, which is an AI startup. Oh, God. Okay? And essentially, they will help studios sort through pitches and predict what will be profitable

and what changes they could make to make existing projects more profitable. This is what happens when you just refuse to allow any diversity in decision-making processes. Right. All white men are like, well, clearly we've been doing something wrong. Should we ask the Browns? No, no, no. Robots. We'll get a robot.

Clearly, if we're at the end of our ladder. In our creative industry, we will go get a robot. Yeah. Like, literally, they were talking about the example of Robert Downey Jr. when he first started doing Iron Man. He was someone who had just fallen off. He had recently been in jail.

He hadn't been working. He was an addict. Right. And the robots would not have chosen him to be Tony Stark. No, exactly. And I think that's a point

that our writer J.M. was making too. It's like there are so many flaws to this kind of thinking. I mean, just to give you an example, right?

Cinelitic also told people to actually make that Playmobil movie which bombed epically. Sinalytic told them to do that? They said that was a winner. Okay. So that shows you, okay. Yeah, so you want to double down on them.

Right. It seems like they've got good instincts. They're like, I don't know, man. Jerome's been putting out really great ideas, and a lot of his smaller projects are doing, no, we're not listening to Jerome. Go get the R2-D2. Fire up the app. Right. It's like, what the fuck are they doing and i think you know so they also so what it'll do

is put things like you know you could switch out like actors too so you could say potentially okay maybe i want to make this movie with uh jennifer lawrence but what would it look like if i put in maybe em Watson? Like what happens then? Right. So, I mean, like any AI thing, it's built on existing data. So it doesn't take into account progress. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah.

It's basically using what has happened to predict the future. Exactly. And for something like this and our shifting media appetites and as, you know, hopefully the uptick of diversity representation and media continues it's not going to be able to account for that right at all and also like it doesn't account for the fact that hollywood has manufactured a lot of our modern day a-list celebrities because it doesn't happen like it used to like yeah it was manufactured in the past but now i feel like because people have social media and they have their own ways of like

reaching out to people hollywood's really had to push people on us for us to take to them. Right. So I feel like it doesn't account for fatigue with people. Right. Even if they are really famous or have a lot of star meter points or followers. Right, right. That is absolutely asinine. Right.

I mean, I can only imagine what it will do to continue the lack of female directors or female written scripts and things like that. Because again, it's only taking into account the misogynistic history of the industry to make decisions. And I think when you look also to movies like Shawshank Redemption, that shit did not do well. And I wonder what the AI thing would have thought then. But after its release became one of the biggest films. Yeah, and it's getting fed into the algorithm as a loser, probably. Yeah, right, right, right. That's the data that you don't want a loser like the Shawshank Redemption.

And I don't think art has ever functioned that way. No, you can only predict things to a certain extent. I think, if anything, it could be that it's probably better at predicting what won't do well. Right.

And even then, there's obviously flaws in that more than a tool that would help lazy-ass development executives read a fucking script, maybe go out in the world and get an idea

of what people are into. Right. Because I think that's all, that's what it just seems so lazy. Right. Like you're saying, lazy, rather than changing what the look of development departments look like. Yeah, or getting an accurate representation of the entire country. Because sometimes I used to think network executives were really stupid, but then I

also realized that they have to be a little bit behind because that's where most of the country is. Like, L.A. moves much quicker. New York moves much quicker. So the things that we, you know, are on or are talking about or even the language that we use is not necessarily caught up to the general populace. So I understand why they're old and a little out of touch and it kind of helps us reach everybody. But to a certain extent, it's like you guys are out of touch. Just hire people who are in touch. Right.

Hey, but I mean, I guess if this takes their jobs, then so be it, right? Like at a certain point. It'll probably do their job better than them. Yeah. I mean, based on the kind of shit you see now, I mean, I guess it'll help them. You show up into your office, you just hear beep boop, beep bop, and all your shit's at the door. You're like, what the fuck?

Sorry, Craig. We had to let you go. Sorry you had to find out like this. It's just a laptop in a room. Please relieve us of your badge. Yeah. You get fired by the laptop. Yeah.

I'm so sorry to the author of this because I couldn't find it, so I am going to paraphrase. So, guys, if you lost your significant other in another country and you searched for hours with the authorities until they told you to go home for the night, would you still do your skincare routine? That was the wrong question. I was like, I think so. night would you still do your skincare routine i think like one of the funniest images is like somebody who's like just found out horrible news and is just like bawling openly, but they're still eating a meatball sub. She's still got to eat.

Actually, she's very hungry. Crying and eating a large sandwich. There you go, studio execs. A whole movie. Right. Miles, where can people find you? On Twitter and Instagram at Miles is Gray. Also on the other podcast, 420 Day Fiance. We talk about 90 day fiance

Oh, my God!

Oh, that was some college shit. Oh, no! Oh, my goodness. And also, Erica, at E-E-R-R-I-I-I-C-A-A. Erica. She said a guy will never give you an actual massage. It's always two minutes of lightly scratching your back in one small spot and then trying to take your top off.
