We're going to talk about Joe Biden. or cosplay this 4th of July.

We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about Joe Biden. One specific anecdote that Miles brought to our attention. He's worn it out. Wild. We're going to check in with that crowdfunded border wall. There's more news? Yeah.

Yeah, the crowdfunded border wall. Because I think last time we checked in, it was like the dude took all their money. Right. So that turns out not to be true. Oh. He did not go and buy a yacht. That's just the liberal propaganda, liberal media, CNN, fake news. Right. Trying to tell you that true patriots aren't true patriots.

It's like I actually bought a schooner. Yeah. It wasn't a yacht. Exactly. We're going to... Can't buy a real yacht with 20 mil. Come on. Everybody knows that.

You'll get laughed out of San Tropez. We're going to talk about probably the weirdest theme park, movie theme park. I don't know why this seems so weird to me. Yeah. Lionsgate is thinking about opening a movie theme park. No, they are. It's not thinking. It is opening.

They're in the process of opening a theme park in China. Yeah, and we're going to check in with a couple other things that are in the Google Trends report from the past couple days. Lil Nas X, weather reporting, and that being an overall constantly evolving and improving art. But first, Charlie, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Wow. Oh, weird.

How do you spell that? What did I just look up? I just looked up what, I don't even remember the actual fricking date. I just looked up what year coming to America came out. The 88. Let's see. You're Coming to America came out. The 88? I want to say 88. You're right. Yeah. Boom. Wow. I was going to say 87

and I already looked it up. Man. That's one of my favorite movies. It's one of my absolutely favorite movies. Why were you looking up the release date? Because I watched it so much as a kid and I was born in 86 and I was just like, when did this movie come out? Because I watched it constantly. I knew the lines.

That was it. I was like, oh. Before you saw Sesame Street, you were just watching like, Wearing Out Old, Coming to America tape? I don't know what it is, but I didn't really grow up with watching. I didn't grow up watching Sesame Street. I grew up watching like Barney. There you go. And then when I got a little bit older,

it went straight to What's Love Got to Do With It with Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne. Is that your first like formative movie? I have three formative movies. What are they? I think it was What's Love Got to Do With It, Pretty Woman, which is about a hooker, and Coming to America. Those were the three movies that were on basic cable all the time when I was growing up in

Florida, like in the 90s. Right. Oh, but it was basic cable Coming to America, so it was like... Yeah. I didn't get to really watch the fuck you. Screw you too! Yeah, exactly. I didn't get to see that until I was older and had cable.

Right, you get a very sterilized scene when Sam Jackson robs his place. Yes! It's such a good scene, though. It's so well directed. Oh my God, I love that movie. But yeah. What is this, Velvet? There's so many good one-lin's so well directed Oh my god I love that movie What is this Velvet? There's so many good one liners You didn't meet no Dr. Martin Luther King

Martin Luther The King Is also one of my favorites That was so good What is something you think is overrated? The 10 step Korean face routine I started doing that To get my skin all nice that you think is overrated? The 10-step Korean face routine. Oh. I started doing that to get my skin all nice.

Your skin looks very nice. Thank you very much. I think five of them are solid and then the other five are not necessary. Okay. Okay. Wait, what's the 10 steps to...

All right, I got you. Yeah, I'll pretend like I don't know them off the top of my head. So the first two steps are cleansing. It's a double cleansing method. Okay, so that's just one. So first with oil and then with soap.

Wait, so first you cleanse your face with oil? Yeah. Actually, oil as a cleanser is really good. If you're wearing makeup, this is for ladies, but you guys can learn. You should take care of your skin too. You can do this. I've had to wear makeup before. Yeah.

If you're wearing makeup, oil is a really good remover. I use castor oil. He wears a lot of BB cream. Oh, yeah? He doesn't tell people. It's good. It has SPF in it sometimes. Yeah, yeah.

It's really good. And sometimes maybe you've got to hide those spots, those blemishes. Yeah. It can be beautiful. Then after the double cleanser, it's toner. Okay. Then it's essence, which is something that I feel the beauty industry has literally made up to make you spend money.

So this is number four now? This is number four now. Okay. Essence is number four. Emulsion. What does that word mean? Which is probably exfoliating. Okay.

All of these sound like they should be beverages of some sort. Right, right, right. Isn't soap an emulsifier? It is. So isn't an emulsion? All right, whatever. Keep going. I don't know.

We've passed the cleansing step. We're at emulsion now on uh try serum yeah so you got your hydraulic hyaluronic acid yep that's what i use uh sheet mask which is basically just any kind of like moisturizing yeah uh we've talked before about the Korean face mask being my favorite like my pick for they need to make a slasher movie with that mask

because it is terrifying I think you're 100% right is this scary I think I look batshit but not in my face so wise oh hell yeah a bunch of times

my husband has jumped when he's seen me oh who's there then eye cream moisturizer just right in the eyeballs right inside yeah that's a lot that's a lot then sunscreen that's the final step i think you can get away constantly with with five or less steps yeah just moisturize your skin looks amazing like a serum

you know i feel like serum sounds good useful yeah that's sure that seems wild that the final step after doing all of these levels is just like, and then throw some sunscreen on it. It's like sunscreen is made by Coppertone. Would you put sunscreen on right before you go to bed? No, right? You wouldn't. Okay, just making sure. That step is different at night.

At night, absolutely. Is there something you replace sunscreen with? I put oil as my final step at night. Yo, Her Majesty, my partner, she does that too. And I'm like, yo, you're going to get a pillowcase all fucking greasy. Yeah. And she's like, no. It doesn't get greasy?

She's like, I sleep with my face up and then it absorbs. It does. It absorbs and your face looks amazing. And I'm like, it still looks like Coming to America reference when Eric LaSalle's whole damn family messed up that couch with that activator. Yeah. Get your sock around. Iconic. Iconic

movie. Sexual talk. That is an amazing ability to intentionally sleep with your face facing up so that your skin routine can complete itself. Being a lady is exhausting and insane

as far as the time. I could make so much money in the time that it takes me to get ready to do my hair, to put on makeup, to do all that stuff. I'm really paring that stuff down. Well, that's why you did it efficiently. You just took it from 10 to 5 steps. Yeah, I tried the 10 steps for a long time because I'm really into skin care

and I try not to wear too much makeup and I'm just like you know what you could get away with you know four to five of these steps and my skin looks amazing good grief yeah sounds like a lot of work yep uh i'll be an annoying dude and be like i just like you natural girl yeah don't want that makeup yeah and then it's like you yeah. You don't need to. Your version of natural is two hours. For an evening, Mr. Not Fucking? What is something you think is underrated? Well, I just imagine you, that character, your skincare routine. I just use like Dial Soap.

Right. Right there at the sink. Yo, it's actually Axe Body Wash. It works on the face just as well. Everywhere. All skin. What's in Axe Body Wash? It smells like a drink. I Everywhere. All skin. What's an axe body wash? It smells like a dream.

I don't know. I do think it smells very good. It smells nice. Yeah, it smells nice. They put a lot into the scent stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Once you walk into the room, we all know you're an axe guy.

Yeah. That's what I feel like. Yeah, yeah. It's a lot. He's an axe man. Smells pretty good. It smells pretty good. Something I think is underrated.

Vegetables. What? What? smells good something i think is underrated vegetables um what what what what so i feel like when i moved to la like a lot of the vegan restaurants i would go to i was trying to like get my diet under control just trying to eat better i felt like a lot of the restaurants i went to they wouldn't use vegetables they would use like fake meat and make that like the center of the vegan meal oh got you and I started uh my husband bought this Israeli cookbook um and we started just they have this whole section on vegetables and we started just like we started making like sweet potato with like figs and like balsamic reduction and um goat cheese and it's delicious and like all this other like we had a whole vegan meal but you didn't even think about it and like another thing i made was like eggplant and it had like uh like caramelized onions like you're supposed to

caramelize like five onions in a huge pan and then you bake the eggplant and then you like pour the onions on top of the eggplant it's absolutely delicious and i was like so vegetables are dope son so underrated not overrated yeah this is underrated yeah is it underrated oh my bad i'm i'm gonna i'm look i'm nine times on the way right now i'm still in italy you know buongiorno buonasera uh yeah man shout out to vegetables good what you just said. Well, you know, I also like, I have a new appreciation for vegetables being in Italy, learning about biological, which is like levels of organic where it's just water and sun. Damn.

And I had arugula that tasted so fucking peppery. Damn. My mouth almost went inside out. I didn't know arugula was supposed to be peppery. It is. And I remember like it used to have this flavor. So then that's why I had to go to the farmer's market recently. And I'm like, I was trying.

I went to three different people that sold live lettuces. And I was like, let me taste one piece. I didn't remember you being this bougie. I know. You've always been this. He's just back from Tuscany. Back from Tuscany. Go to Tuscany once.

I know. But just the level that you've enjoyed it is amazing. It's, again, I told Jack, he's like, how was it? I'm like, I get why people sound like assholes when they go to Italy. And they're like, I mean, it's like, there's like, if you ever watch the Conan Abroad series where he goes with his one producer who like loves Italy and Conan just can't handle him because he's like so in love with Italy. Like, I totally get that guy.

He was like, you know, the clouds almost have a different texture. Oh my God. Fuck you. But I was out there like fucked up on Chianti. I was like, yo. Something about the sunsets. They're whimsical almost. Right.

Right. Now I got to go. Jesus. What else did you find out doesn't taste like it's supposed to? Anything else besides? Oh, I mean, I can talk for hours really. And you know that could be a whole other show you know there's one thing i learned and i so like eggs are supposed

to have a bright orange yolk yeah and i didn't know that until i read it in a book and i didn't see that until i visited ireland for the first time and had like some farm fresh eggs they had farm fresh eggs yeah yeah because we have to ours? They're like piss yellow. Yeah, they're just disgusting. I don't know why. They look pale and like sick. Right. Egg Zeitgang,

let us know why our yolks are so fucking sad and trash. Is it just, is it like the curling over fin of the orcas in SeaWorld? Like the chickens

are just too sad to make their yolks? Probably. I think that's probably it. Damn. Yeah. That's the sadness. Mm-hmm.

The farmer smells it. He's like, ah. He's like, ah. Sad eggs. Sad eggs. Perfect. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false?

Ooh. I didn't think of a myth. I missed that one. Well, we just got that Egg yolks are supposed to be orange Oh sweet People think Your egg yolks are supposed to be yellow Sweet

Idiots Yeah and To take it back to this cooking class I went to this woman Teaching it He took cooking classes Yeah Took cooking class

She was like She's like your eggs in the US Probably won't look like this And I was like You damn right Yeah Wait what do they look like They were bright orange

the yolks were beautiful if you've been anywhere and then there was someone in the group who was like are your eggs okay because they're not in the refrigerator and then I had to watch this woman put this other American person on not everyone refrigerates that

they don't refrigerate everything now we refrigerate the shit out of everything. Everything. Is that true of our eggs, or are their eggs more shelf-stable? No, I think eggs can survive unrefrigerated. Yes. Oh, interesting. Yes, they can.

They don't have to be refrigerated. Yeah. Americans like everything freezing fucking cold. Yeah, that's true. Constantly. Yeah. But most of the... I don't even think...

I mean, I think dairy, things like that that can go bad very fast should be in the... Some people leave their butter out. People leave their eggs out. Yeah. Butter, I highly recommend. It's so soft. When you put it on that toast, you're not fighting it. You didn't put ice in your wine or anything

over there? I did. Yo, I got a ticket. For? Yeah, the police. You put ice in your wine or anything over there? I did. Yo, I got a ticket. For? Yeah, the police. You put ice in your wine? Yeah, for fuckery. They do not let you put ice in shit. Are you serious? No fucking way.

Okay, I was just like, yo, the police sound lit in Italy. I'm making sure you're enjoying wine the right way. Their ice water doesn't even have ice in it over there. They're taking me to the station. I'm like, what happened to Hospitaliano? This ain't it. But I did learn the essence of Hospitaliano. Hospitaliano?

Yeah. It's not just for Olive Garden. I don't know what any of that means. You're making me so jealous. That's what they think. I mean, I figured it was hospitality. Oh, is that what they called it? That's what they would call that shit.

You're like, Hospitaliano. That's what they call the hospital, actually, in Italy. All right. I just got that it was one of those words, two words mashed together. Apportmento? Apportmento. Yeah. All right.

Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And you weren't the only one making waves overseas miles uh the president donald trump was over at the g20 and then he had a few tricks up his sleeve some surprises for us but yeah it basically it seems to be another example of, you know, he does something bad at home.

People get annoyed with him. He's having a bad news cycle. And then he does something that is somewhat unprecedented in foreign relations when it comes to American presidents. Yeah. And doesn't really help the U.S. in any way. No. But it's just like a big splash. It's a media spectacle, which is what he knows how to do.

I was watching when I was in Tuscany the news that did come in to the villa by hand. From a boy who ran in from town. Sir, sir. He has a British accent for some reason. But, yeah, I saw he was getting real cozy with Putin, acting like Mohammed bin Salman isn't just killing journalists. Yeah. He's like, there's no evidence for that.

Yeah. He's like, that's intelligence. Nobody believes that. I don't like to talk about that. He said what climate action was unnecessary because the water and air is so clean, like never before. What else should be read? Also not true.

Oh, he thought- water and air is so clean uh like never before what else should be read oh there's a good ap news uh just debunking of uh bullshit stories from the past like they do bernie sanders and stuff but there's a whole a whole gang of ones from trump that he's been saying a lot that's when he didn't know what western liberalism was jesus like i thought that's how like california democrats vote like oh really oh no. We're talking sort of as a never mind the Western Hemisphere. Anyway, so again, he needed something to fucking really

either do something so controversial that he changed the news cycle or get some kind of photo op. He tweeted this shit that was so fucking weird and desperate. He said, after something, I'm fucking even forgetting how to do, Trump. After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China,

I'll be leaving Japan for South Korea with President Moon. While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the border DMZ just to shake his hand and say hello. Wow. Like trying to make this shit look very casual v spur of the moment um although it had been reported that like this was obviously being planned because you're not just gonna pull up as a president at the dmz and be like knock on the invisible board and be like is kim jong-un kim jong-un here yeah is he home for shake hand um yeah when he got there they had man

they embraced they looked like they were in some bizarro rom-com. He was a president who just was dying to meet his true love on the other side of the border. Yeah. And became the first sitting president to ever set foot in North Korea, technically. He got 18 steps in and then was lying, saying Obama begged for a meeting. Right. Not true. By any stretch of the imagination imagination you look like a fool

my man yeah and you again have sold the u.s out in a very dumb way just to prove what like he's like you know before this there was so much danger now the danger is gone because i shook this dictator's fucking hand yeah well just when you thought the hole couldn't get deeper, it just keeps digging. Yeah. Yeah. It makes me wonder, like, what is the next president going to have to do to be taken seriously again? Well, I feel like he's put the pendulum so far one way that if the next president, like, actually draws, like, lines in the ground, they're going to be like, yo, what the fuck is this? It wasn't like this a couple years ago. Yeah. Now we're going to war.

Right. Because this guy fucking completely, you know, changed our perception of what the U.S. was. But yeah, I mean, they went on. He had such flowery words. He said, what is it? Kim had like a very powerful voice. So powerful.

And he was so honored to meet this dictator whose country is basically a perma jail for its people. He's an idiot. It does seem like even this didn't really make an impact on his home turf. Fox News didn't really cover it that much. No. Drudge doesn't even have it on the front page of Drudge. These are the people that, at the very least like a single is like them being like hey

trump does the unprecedented maybe it's a day later and they're they're over it but still like he you know that is an unprecedented thing that he did and people are just like yeah well we get now that nothing changes and they're still building missile sites well that's the thing he did he did some foreign policying there apparently according to the reports is that you know he was always talking about how he was going to get them to put their nukes down or whatever and now it seems like they're probably closer to like the the white house accepting north korea as like a fucking nuclear power right and just being like how about a nuclear freeze? Yeah. Like just don't build any more new bombs. Okay.

Wow. And then we'll be okay. Like before it was like, they're going to come up off them shits. Just see, just wait and see. And now it's like, you promise?

Basically his idea of being a good deal maker is saying he's going to get us a deal and then not being able to do it. Right. And then coming out and saying, actually, this is a better deal. Coming out with their direct. What they wanted exactly is what we're gonna do and that's the best deal and you're welcome and he's i mean i last time i was here i was talking about how scary this shit was and

it's not any less scary you know it's it's truly just watching we're just grinding down yeah we're grinding down i'm tired at least they kept John Bolton's ass away from that meeting. Right. They sent him to fucking Mongolia, I think. They'd be like, yo, don't get anywhere near here because you freak everybody out with your warmongeriness. I mean, this is, I will say this is the best kind of delusional he can be as opposed to like crazy war hungry delusional.

Yeah, and thank God, I i think wasn't it tucker carlson that talked him out of uh yeah our boy man oh my god while you were away we uh pledged our fealty to tucker carlson he did yeah he's our new patron saint of saint fucking pacifying yeah man and he also he's team el Elizabeth Warren. Oh, yeah? Yeah. That's a lot of sponsors. Wait, what did he say? He said that? He quoted from her, you know, one of her speeches and was like, would you believe that was Elizabeth Warren?

And you can't disagree with a single thing on that. But then he was, his reasons for agreeing with it was all like, she's pro-America. She's. Right. with it was all like, she's pro-America. She's... Right. Anyways, wrong reasons, and he's still the worst human being out there, I guess. Let's talk about Joe Biden.

Joe got worked in the debates last week. Took a hit in the poll sack. Shocking, huh? Yeah. Surprising. Yeah. Kamala came for his fucking neck good uh and you know put his ancient blast put his ancient ass on blast yeah for his quote-unquote

civil rights work joe biden comes across to me like a ghost who's masquerading as an alive person right yeah yeah no we know you are completely out of touch joe yeah we need the like scooby in the gang yeah tear his mask off and be like aha i knew it was you um but you know he's been ever since then he's just dumb comment after dumb comment first he was said something about like uh talking about race and he was like you know that you might see a young african-american man in a hoodie and that that young man might be in the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger or some shit and i was like uh-huh because that's the binary that black people exist in you need to be a poet laureate yeah or a gangbanger right and not just a fucking human being who's trying to live and happens to be wearing a hoodie but again you know this is why

this is why he's the front runner you know because he's has this he has he has the ability to sort of look at very complex issues and speak to the nuance of it without offending people. I think Joe Biden being the frontrunner says something scarier about the Democratic Party and about the electorate in America that they didn't really learn any real lesson from Trump. trump like there's no joe biden being the front runner to me is like it's the same shit of like america's still too scared to just accept that old white dudes are just not the right people to run the country right now right which is okay yeah it's okay if they're not the right person to run the country right now yeah i think this is that fear of losing yeah well i think this guy dust off one of our old warriors to fight. They're afraid of losing power that they say they don't even really have.

They're afraid of acknowledging that we're in a new era that requires new leadership and new eyes and new points of view. And they're too scared to do it. And it's going to be the same. I feel like if Joe Biden wins, which I don't see him winning, but then again, I can't predict anything because that's what happens. So it's like I can't really predict anything. But I'm just like the Democratic Party pushing him as a frontrunner is to me looks like they're doing the same thing they did to Bernie when Hillary was running against him. Like them making it seem like she was the better, them wanting her obviously to be the nominee.

And it's just like, he ain't the one. Don't nobody want him. He's the only one who's like probably going to protect the corporatocracy as it exists right now. And that's the whole thing. And I think that's why people who are a part of the electorate need to wake up to the threat isn't just like an old racist guy. So let's put it in an old guy who's less visibly racist.

There is an existential threat to the middle class and working people from the sort of the way the economy is structured in this country. And those are the problems that we need to address. It's not the, oh, this guy's embarrassing the country. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not the fucking problem. That's not the problem.

We're getting squeezed fucking dry for the littlest things like you can't afford a place to live you can't afford a place to eat you can't afford health care those are the fucking things that we need to be talking about so to get caught up school yeah like you can't pay your student loans you can't buy a house you can't do anything right and they're like well he learned how to work with like really violent old racists yeah that's a thing no no no no those aren't the threats that's the big thing is just like, people don't see what they don't see. Like they don't see like this huge blind spot of like,

every time we point out the fact that, or if I point out the fact that like old white dude's not the right person to run the country, it's not because he, well, it is because he's an old white dude, but the fact of him being an old white dude means that he just has some huge blind spots.

He's not going to see. Right. Right. And I feel like the democratic party has the same thing you guys are just unaware of what's going on you have you're out of touch well yeah that's like the you know with you know limousine liberals right as it is like they're sort of like well i know those things are bad i don't have any real experience with it yeah so i don't know how to really look at it in a nuanced way right and it's funny that you talk about blind spots because he's he's been caught telling this fucking anecdote to people in the lgbtq community so he was at a fundraiser in seattle at the home of uh as that from like a prominent gay activist and he was saying he's like you know this is a sort of a summary of what happened he said uh biden suggested public sentiment has come far on gay rights issues in a short period of time,

saying five years ago, if someone had a business meeting in Seattle, quote, made fun of a gay waiter, end quote, people would just let it go. The audience vocally pushed back at that, saying, quote, not in Seattle. Others said such comments wouldn't have gone unchallenged much longer back than five years. 2014, everybody was just making fun of gay people out loud publicly. That's just how it was. Yeah. And this is the thing. He's been telling this form of this gay waiter anecdote many times.

He told it in 2014 even. Let's even go back to the time he said it was okay. Right. In 2014, he used the same time he said it was okay. Right. In 2014, he used the same thing, saying like 15 years ago. Right. You could have said it and nobody would have reacted. But then you have to hear the anecdote. Right.

Because it's so weird. Luckily, he said it so much. This is from September of 2018, telling the same tired-ass anecdote of like, look how far we've come. And listen to this i mean get ready to have your mind blown by an amazing thought it's fun to hear mc move the crowd fucking listen to this if you were at a fancy restaurant in washington five six years ago

at an important business meeting and a gay or lesbian waiter came up, a transgender, spoke with a lisp or demonstrated they were gay or lesbian. And someone at that luncheon table said, made fun of that person. No one would have said anything. Not a joke. I want you to literally think about this today if that same thing happened the other four or five people at the table

would say you horse's tail get out of here really so guys believe in yourselves what how much more you can do Believe in yourself. What? There's so much more you can do.

Hold on. That was at the human rights campaign. His conclusion was, guys, believe in yourself. Because I know with your crippling homosexuality, you're really held back. Believe in yourselves, and no one will make fun of you. I mean, the fact that you too can be a waiter who people don't make fun of. I don't even know how to... Where to start?

I mean, it sounds like the only way he can relate to LGBTQ people is by saying, I remember when it was funny to mock y'all. It was okay. Nobody said anything. Yeah. Now, whoa, we should wake... Now that we woke up, you can't do that. All it sounds like to me is he used to make fun of, five years ago, it was okay for me to make fun of K.O. And nobody said anything.

And now I can't say anything. Because I was vice president. Now if I say anything, it's bad. And somebody who saw one of his earlier renditions of this anecdote, because he always does the horse's tail thing. Yeah, he said horse's tail again. But a difference in the earlier version was that he actually did a lispy voice. Feminized his voice. Oh, no.

And someone probably told him that wasn't okay. Right. Or didn't. And also, just think of how out of touch this man is, right? He's so out of touch. The way he even sets it up, he's like, say you're at a business meeting with business people. Okay, you've already eliminated fucking 80% of the people out here. Right.

Which is why it sounds like something he was at a business meeting. Of course. He made a joke. Right, because this is how the power moves in these spaces. And also, it assumes that everybody at the business meeting is a cisgender straight person. Right. it assumes that everybody at the business meeting is a cisgender straight person right like and that the only person who could be you know lgbtq is the server the servant yeah yeah uh wow and then also like the he said and they demonstrate to you that they're gay or lesbian right i'm sorry

with a lisp but aside from just this antidote it just like it's not presidential you know like this kind of antidote it's not i mean it is in the sense that our president is a buffoon but it's that's that's what i mean it's like the standards the bar is on the floor i think that's why people think presidential yeah people are comparing that it's like yeah he did a trump thing but in a biden way like in a woke way. Well, speaking of doing a Trump thing, you know you're in the wrong when the Trump family is doing your counterpunching for you. And over the weekend, Trump Jr. retweeted somebody who was basically doing Kamala Harris birtherism. They were like, I don't see why she gets to claim that she's black. Because she's Jamaican and Indian.

Half Jamaican, half Indian. Oh, God. Yo, here we go. That's the new... Can't wait for all these white conservatives to begin assessing the blackness of candidates. Right. Tell us more. Tell me more, Laura Ingram.

Yeah. Yeah, well, look, Joe, I'm sure you got so many other anecdotes, and your fucking advisors and shit are probably smashing their heads into the wall but you know uh we'll see how those yeah i mean kamala definitely ate into his polling after that uh debate but yeah it's an ever-changing field she ate into his ass in that debate very Very millennial of you. Yeah, that's right. Not like that. Come on, Miles.

Oh. You should have let that one rock. Real quick, I want to check in with the crowdfunded wall. the crowdfunded wall because, so we talked before about how, you know, there, there were rumors that the dude who got all the money, Colfage was spending it, miss spending it.

No, but then in May, the wall was built by a privately owned brick company in New Mexico. And not long after the city served them a cease and desist because they didn't actually get the proper permissions to build the wall. Wait. Oh, my God. So he gave the money to a brick contractor,

somebody who builds stuff out of brick. And they tried to do it over Memorial Day weekend because he was like, then the city won't be paying attention. And we'll be able to do this real quick. And the city learned about it on May 23rd and visited the site where they were told to leave. Wait, by the people building the water? Yeah, by the people building the water. Get the fuck out of here, city inspector. By the people building the wall.

Yeah, by the people building the wall. Get the fuck out of here, city inspector. So the landowner, the CEO of the brick company, George Kadahi, went to city hall the next day to like, you know, half-assed trying to get all these permits after the wall was already being built. Submitted the applications, but they were incomplete. So no permit. And Colthage went on Twitter and straight up bragged that the government wouldn't notice them building the wall because it was a long weekend. I'm sorry. This isn't like graffiti on your junior high locker.

Said, we build the wall, plan for a battle. That's why we finished the wall in three days when the corrupt city was partying over the holiday. Only thing left is to pave the road for border patrol. Boom. Did they even talk about how long the stretch this wall was? So we'll get to that. Oh, okay. So the brick executive is facing up to 90 days in jail for building a wall with no permit. And building part of the wall has led people entering the U.S. in

other parts of town or simply walking around the wall because it's not very long. It was purely symbolic. And some of the ways people have chosen to enter now are more dangerous for them, which I'm sure he doesn't care about, or the rich people of this town who probably were on board with some of these decisions didn't care about. But they're also causing people to cross in residential neighborhoods. So people are having to cross into where people live instead of this industrial part of town where they built the wall. And they built some of their wall on federal land and in doing so cut off access to waterways

and a public monument. So the International Boundary and Water Commission forced the wall people, the wall builders to prop open a gate in the wall during business hours so they can do their job. So on top of everything else, there's literally an open door in their wall. Oh, God. It's, oh, man. Like, pardon me.

Fuck. How much money was this? It was $20 million. $20 million. But they didn't say that. Their goal was $1 billion. $1 billion. They got to $ 20 million. 20 million. But they didn't say that. Their goal was 1 billion. 1 billion. They got to 20 million.

Which is a lot. A bunch of people took their money back when they were like, oh, there aren't that many people like us. Okay. Took their money back. And he used the remainder to build a small brick wall that has done nothing but embarrass him, get his business partner into legal problems, and We Build the Wall, which incorporated as a nonprofit in Florida,

is currently being investigated by the state. Sweet. And he's currently trying to get more funding. He did a telethon to raise money to do the same thing in other cities recently. What, build an eight-foot wall in other cities? And Steve Bannon was there. That's where Steve Bannon's at. That's the circles he's traveling in now.

He's got to work, you know? Yeah, right? Yeah. Wow. He's just at these fundraisers, just like, hey, remember me? Right. The guy who thought this up? More as a metaphor?

And then the president took it literally. Right. Yeah, exactly. Even a year ago, people were like, oh, Bannon's over in Europe. He's like creating the populist wave over there. And no.

Nah. He's doing telethons now. Yeah. Shit is, you know. But there's still people who are definitely receptive to that message still, as you'll see. $20 million is a lot of money. Yeah.

I can't imagine, oh, man, some of these people who don't know any better and really think their hard-earned money is going to something like that. That's what's crazy about it. It's some statistic, like 70% of Americans can't cover a thousand dollar emergency. And when you think about that, I imagine that the majority of these people that contributed to this $20 million are in that pool possibly, you know? So I'm just like.

Or boomers who are just like. You're so scared that you're like facing real financial peril and you're going to contribute to some bullshit that isn't even sanctioned. Yeah, right. It's, this is, it's anarchy out there but i needed my racist snake oil yeah right it cures it cures immigrants it's anarchy out there it's yeah regulations it's not a cool thing to be the guy who's pro regulations but they they're helpful i like how they even still like with his tweets like yeah man we're getting doing it for the

government finds out it's like motherfucker the, man, we're doing it for the government finds out. It's like, motherfucker, the best solution, if you're really serious about your problem, you want the government on board with the shit you're doing. I love regulations. Like, I'm from Haiti. I was born in Haiti. And there's no rules. There's no laws. You know, my husband's from India. People bribe the police on a day-to-day basis.

Like, the police take bribes from people. Like, small vendors on the street, street vendors People bribe the police on a day-to-day basis. The police take bribes from people, like small vendors on the street. Street vendors have to pay the police. That's just an everyday occurrence in India. I love laws. I love rules and order, and I'm glad that we have them here. Yeah.

Sometimes they work. Takes a permit to build your racist monument. So that you don't block waterways. Waterways. And build them in people's private backyards. And also, this shit even fails as a fucking fence because you're like, and here's a door to walk the fuck through.

Right. And you must leave it open. Idiotic. You must leave it. Also, we have refrigerated water there. There's spa water. God damn. Look at that.

Look at a lot of work. Like, if there wasn't laws, that means that random people could just build brick walls along their backyards, the southern border yeah but i mean look we still have laws and we're still doing this fucking terrible awful shit to innocent people so it's like god how can some laws work some laws work yeah right they work for some of us that's right just not us uh all right we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered.

And we're back and so are janko jeans did you wear jinkos i had a whole janko outfit that was like cream on cream jeans cream shirt with like black stitching on it oh my god i'm creaming my jeans thinking about that. You had an off-white JNCO outfit? Yeah. Oh, my God. It was shorts and a shirt, and the shorts came down to right above my ankles.

Hell, yeah. Yeah, bro. I had Rock-A-Wear shorts that were that long back in the day. Did you ever wear JNCOs? I did. I rocked them. You did? Yeah.

Damn, I'm the only one not rocking JNCOs. You never rocked JNCOs? No, because that for like ravers. Right. And I wasn't like, I'm already, I had baggy jeans, but like the way, how baggy those things were, I was like, nah, I don't have enough candy necklaces on to rock the JNCO necklace or the jeans. Wait, what was your style when you were rocking JNCOs?

They were just like a light blue jean color. And I was just like. What blue jean color and i was just like what were you into at the time i was really lost as far as my fashion style i was what in middle school i think it was like a 15 i was like in middle school yeah and i was just trying things out i was just trying to i was trying makeup out i couldn't i still wasn't buying a lot of my own makeup i was using my mom's makeup it was a real experimental time i really i mean i did ditch them soon after that yeah but i would rock them with like white sneakers and like some sort of rock i don't know i'd have braids or so i have no i was doing a lot of weave at the time like there you go hair extensions just trying to

be cool i was just doing my best. Just trying to find that target. They were like, it was a lot of the, what do you call those kids? Like the goth kids would rock them. Right. And so I felt like I'm not goth, but like trying to figure out my style. But that was a goth trend. Yeah, definitely a vibe. A lot of chain while it's hanging off of it.

Yeah. Well, let me just tell you y of chain while it's hanging off of it. Yeah. Well, let me just tell you y'all something. They're back, okay? And I don't know if you remember, back in the day, you could get that shit pretty much anywhere. It was like Pacific Sunwear, fucking wherever. It wasn't like trying to get off-white, some Virgil Abloh type shit.

Well, now they're coming back, and it's in limited quantities, and they're trying to make it like a bespoke denim experience. Why not? Because you know how much the cheapest pair of JNCOs cost in the new issue or the new reissue? $225. Yeah. Up to $350 for the fucking, the LE, limited edition shit.

Wow. Yeah, capitalism. Yeah. And they look exactly like they did before yeah they are huge they look like you hate your parents yeah exactly you hate your parents in the early 90s right yeah but i guess that's whole it's so funny how everything's coming like cyclically back yeah because i was wearing i have like a christina aguilera stripped justified tour t-shirt and at the farmer's market this like younger woman was like, oh my God, that shirt's so cool.

Where'd you buy that? And I was like, at the tour in 2004. And she's like, wow, that's so cool. Like as if like it was like, that's like currency now. It's like, damn, where'd you get that old ass shirt? Right. I'm like, come here. Look at this old guy, guys.

I was also wearing a lot of bell-bottom jeans okay at the time yeah by lei where where were you living at the time massachusetts okay norwood massachusetts okay middle school but even then we felt like oh it's coming back like bell-bottoms yeah 70s and i think bell-bottoms back again now and did you have the heels of them all just stepped on and tattered from walking all over them? Yeah, just like the JNCOs. Everybody has to have ratty JNCOs

at least around the hem. It's so weird. I just don't get it and these are the moments where I'm like, yes, I am old and I no longer understand. I think it's like the everlasting value of nostalgia. Right.

That's all it's showing us. Like my, these whole last like 10 years, I feel like ever since like Netflix came on and Friends is the biggest show on Netflix. The Office is the biggest show on, like everyone's just recycling old things. Yeah. Yeah.

Nostalgia is valuable. Let's just regress together in every possible way. I mean, this might be, like, I think this is the line. If fashion cycles back to, like, real baggy jeans like that, like, I'm not going with it. I'm done. I'm stuck here. Yeah.

I think I'm just wearing straight leg jeans for the rest of my life. Boot cuts. Yeah. No boot cuts. If people start dressing like Michael Jordan again, like, I'm out. straight leg jeans for the rest of my life. No boot cuts. Yeah. No boot cuts. If anybody, if people start dressing like Michael Jordan again, like I'm out. Yep.

Oh man. We're all at that age though. I feel like millennials are all at that age where we're going to, whatever we're doing now is what we'll be doing when we're 50. Right. Yeah. Like what I'm listening to. I started listening to Lauren Hill again because that's what I was listening

to when I was like in high school and college and it's still fire. And I was like, yo, this stuff is still, I'm starting to listen to Lauren Hill again because that's what I was listening to when I was like in high school and college. Right. And it's still fire. Yeah. And I was like, yo, this stuff is still, I'm starting to listen to The Score again. Right. This stuff is fire, yo. The Score is so good. The skits. I'll be listening to it until I'm 50.

Now there's like Lil Nas X. I don't know who that is or why it's happening. He's the mean God. Yeah, but I don't know him, you know. I'm just like, oh Oh I'm at that age When I just like Ignore new stuff Yeah

There are times too When I'm like looking at like Even artists I know Like rappers And I'm looking at the features I'm like Who the fuck is this person Like Toddler Man 42

I'm like Isn't that a fucking screen name Like are rapper names Just now screen names Yeah Like XX Roxy Chick 182XX You're right

a stylized way of putting like some swag some flair on your screen name I don't know them I don't know these guys Lil Nas X

is trending right now And not just because of Old Town Road But he dropped his album last week And then on the last day of June In Pride Week He came out and said He thought he'd been making it obvious the whole time That he was gay

Shout out to him Gay black man at the top of the country charts I like that Joe Biden talk about that Yeah. Yeah. No way. Shout out to him. Gay black man at the top of the country charts. Yeah. Seriously. I like that. Joe Biden, talk about that. Right. Yeah, exactly. You know.

If you watch, he's probably going to fucking try and pivot that story. He's like, if you made fun of us. Look at Lil Nas X. Yeah. You know, he's gay. He's demonstrating it all over the place. Let's say he comes up to you and he's your waiter. He's your waiter.

He can't, he can't like get beyond. You used to be able to make fun of a gay black cowboy. You used to be able to make fun of that. Now they say, get out of here, you old horse's tail.

Got the horse tail in the back. Now you're singing his song and he's clapping for you. Your horse's tail. Another area horse's tail. Wow, what, wow, undercover bomb right there. Lionsgate? Yeah, let's talk about Wow. Wow. Undercover bomb right there. Lionsgate?

Yeah, let's talk about Lionsgate. So this, I don't know how to feel about this. So Lionsgate is going to open a theme park in China. Get that money. Yeah. Get that money. Seems like a very transparent cash grab. But then I was thinking like, all right, so.

Just off the rib. Charlotte, do you know any, what are the top films from Lionsgate? Go. I can't. I don't know. This is what I'm saying. It's not like where you go Universal, you can go Jurassic Park. These other things are like Warner Brothers.

But I could. Yeah. Right. Like MGM. James Bond. Right. Boom. Well, now I think it's Sony too.

Anyway, look, it's hard. Now everything's just basically Disney. Right. well now I think it's Sony too anyway look it's hard now everything's just basically Disney right I don't identify like movie properties by the studio that they like Universal except for Disney

the only way that I know right Disney you know because they have a very defined like corner of the market which is everything

right now but Universal like the only reason I know that King Kong and Jurassic Park, or is Jurassic Park? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And Jaws or Universal is because of the theme park. Sure. Yeah. But I guess that's the thing, right? Like with these, we kind of already pre-associate IP with these sort of studios or whatever. So with Lionsgate, I was like, what the fuck is their whole thing? So their big films are The Hunger Games, Twilight, Divergent Series,

Now You See Me, Gods of Egypt, and Escape Plan. So like a dystopian kind of escape the room. Is Now You See Me the magician robbery movie? Yeah. Like how the fuck... How's that activating me

as a consumer to be like, yo, you know what? I can't wait to catch that Now You See Me VR rollercoaster. I actually see why they chose China because we would think all these things were lame. Right.

And then China's gonna be like, ooh, it's cool, it's American, it's foreign. Right. Right. And that's the whole thing, right? So the whole... They call it a vertical theme park.

Not sure what that means. Will span 22,000 square meters of indoor space, feature 25 attractions, including six based on Lionsgate franchises. So Twilight- Indoor theme park. Yeah, Twilight and the Hunger Games will feature VR simulators,

while Gods of Egypt will be the subject of a purpose-built indoor VR roller coaster. And they'll also have shopping opportunities and restaurants. Of course. Of course. I mean, this definitely seems like not, a purpose-built indoor VR roller coaster. And they also have shopping opportunities and restaurants. I mean, this definitely seems like it's really pushing it by calling itself a theme park.

It really does feel like a big escape the room. It's a big-ass mall with a fucking Twilight VR thing and a Hunger Games stunt show. It's Hunger Games and it seems to me like it's going to be some sort of literal game where you're playing to get out.

Right. What would a Twilight, that's what I'm saying, like ride be? I don't have no fucking clue. And I watched all of them. Yeah, could you make over where you like sparkle

or something? I'm like a high school, like prom. Are you running from werewolves? prom. Right. Because you're king and queen

and the prom king and queen. The prom king and queen, one of them is a vampire. You had sex with a vampire and now the werewolves come for you. Can't they fly or jump really far? And then he imprints on your baby. Can't werewolves jump really far? Yeah, they can. And vampires in that franchise, can't they? Yeah, or maybe you fly on the back of a vampire in VR.

Maybe you ride on a werewolf through the forest. I have no idea what it would be. And it's funny because I was looking at what the top, the highest grossing films are in China. And granted, a lot of these are Chinese films and some are American, but none of these are even in the top 50. Twilight doesn't hit the top 50. The Diver twilight doesn't hit the top 50 the divergent series doesn't hit the top 50 i mean they must know they're probably just outside but it's not

like when you look at shit that performs like the fast and furious shits yeah or the avengers or like fucking aquaman transformers oh those are jurassic park these are like the american films that are hitting out there Zootopia Warcraft even fucking Warcraft yeah Warcraft was huge couldn't get a fucking single person

to watch that shit out here but yeah look I think the only thing that in my mind works is like a Hunger Games stunt show because there's like

archery and like some fucking hand to hand combat type shit I mean a Hunger Games like LARP like where you get to like go in the world.

That's what I think. Like somebody fucks you up for food. You would have to be actively in it. Right. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to watch it. Well, that's supposedly what the new Star Wars thing is like, like where it's- It's an experience.

Yeah, it's an experience. It's like, you know, it's like going to medieval times, or not medieval times, a ren fair um yeah like everybody's in character yeah yeah yeah gotta have your backstory interacting with you so you know i hope i hope it works out for you i'm really curious to know what's gods of egypt was that an animated thing gods of egypt isn't that the christian b Bale movie where he plays a pharaoh? Oh, shit. Is that what that is?

That was like a... Yes. That flopped hard, didn't it? What? I mean, again, that must have done... Oh, yeah. Gerard Butler. Yeah.

Didn't people complain because it was a white lead and it was called Gods of Egypt? Yeah. It's fucking homeboy, Jamie Lannister. Oh, yeah. Wow. nikolai costa wilde movie happened was i out of the country or did it just like die i think it died i don't know but again like oh look uh alex theme park rides no one asked for for a thousand right seriously all right guys let's talk about weather reporting uh it's about time we talked about this uh there was an interesting article in the new yorker last week about how weather forecasting

keeps getting better and it's basically making the point that all it's important to all different industries so there's a reason uh that everybody would want to keep making it better um but there's a reason that everybody would want to keep making it better but there's also it's like such a complex like math equation like the basically the message I got from this article is that like landing a spacecraft on Mars requires dealing with hundreds of mathematical variables making a global atmospheric model requires hundreds of thousands. I think that's like the key quote from the article. So basically we're still like, it is the furthest frontier,

like being able to model out weather patterns. Oh, right. And it is, we are getting better at it. Like we're, but it's over the course of, you know,

decades. You, better at it like we're but it's over the course of you know decades uh you you won't be able to notice the difference like from one year to the next but from one decade to the next if you like looked back on the 90s and compared like how accurate the weather forecasts were back then to today it's pretty it's a pretty significant difference like Like what are we batting now? They didn't break it down to a percentage, but it's just a much higher percentage. And they can get more detailed about when things are going to happen. What's funny, yeah, how weather really is one of those things that are so hard to accurately understand

because we don't even understand our own planet so much to really be able to do that. That's why I know the Juno mission to jupiter that probe that's going around jupiter right is actually also very important for weather reporting too because like the more they can understand about jupiter like yeah hold so many other keys to understand even our own weather so i'm glad we're not using that old ass almanac anymore right yeah but we do understand a lot right it's like super sophisticated technology sophisticated but there do understand a lot right it's like super sophisticated technology sophisticated but there's still a lot about planetary formation we don't

know right when you look at jupiter basically like they say a lot of the material that wasn't used to make jupiter help create a lot of the other planets in the solar system so it's like you know like we have the end product yeah but we don't have the recipe right and that's what we're still trying to figure out yeah but i do think it's crazy that like this crazy complicated and sophisticated technology is just associated with Al Roker. Like that's what I think about weather. It's just like a dumb friendly guy in front of it in a suit with a happy sunshine sticker behind him.

And I'm just like, this is also like scientists. One of the stories uh is that you know our ability to forecast weather was the deciding factor in world war ii because like when they were going to plan the d-day invasion was like really finely tuned and like basically germany's uh weather forecasters were like it won't be during this period because it's going to be stormy. And allied weather forecasters were able to like pinpoint a specific day that it wasn't going to be stormy and like do a surprise attack on that day. And like, I think one of the famous generals from World War II,

people were like, why do people speak English instead of German today around the world? And he was like, because we had better weather forecasters. Like, that's the only reason. Shout out to meteorologists. Yeah, meteorology. Shout out to science. Shout out to science. Shout out to barometric pressure readings.

But there's also all sorts of ways that it gets fucked up. Like, you know, at a certain point, the butterfly effect does come into account, like chaos theory. So, like, just you walking down the street. Like, you can never have a fully accurate model of what the weather is going to be in the next day. Because you walking down the street, like, creates a small draft that creates, you know, can like ripple off into a million different directions. So you'll never get it fully accurate because there's just never going to be a input mechanism that is taking like readings at every single atom, like on the globe.

So you just have to like get as good as you possibly can basically. the globe so you just have to like get as good as you possibly can basically um but it is one of those sorts of progress that i feel like we take for granted because it's just always around us it's always there i'm still gonna get fucking mad at that app when it's wrong though right yeah oh i thought it was gonna be hot today right fucking pool party now 66 get the fuck out of my face weather channel but yeah salute to all the meteorologists out there yeah

well shit Charlotte it's been a pleasure having you thanks for having me man yeah it's been a pleasure
