Trying to say that like Jeff Foxworthy these days.

It's Tuesday, February 15th, 2023. Happy day after Valentine's Day to everyone. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Last night a little tyrant came walking to my door. Last night a little angel who I usually adore. He said, come on, stupid. Don't play like you're dumb. Oh, you think you're tired.

Just wait till I'm done. Because in the midnight hour, he screamed at my door with a tiny yell. Called me a stupid dork. Dork, dork, dork. That is courtesy of Christy Yamaguchi-Maine. In reference to my four-year-old just roasting my ass in the middle of the night for like 15 straight minutes. Just, why won't you let me in? Is it because you're stupid?

Oh, I get it. It's because you're stupid. Well, thanks for the, like, just owning me. Can I just say, I'm sorry, but your fans have too much freedom on this podcast to make me sing that yeah and then you're like y'all do it sure what's wrong with you bro yeah absolutely continue with your intro apology approval anyways i'm thrilled to be joined in my second seat by a very special guest co-host producer behind shows like fake doctors real friends welcome to our show a brilliant writer you can read at vulture av club team vogue pace the advocate you've heard her on pop culture happy hour it is the brilliant and talented joel monique

yes oh that checks out read my resume to the fans i love that that was beautiful thank you hi it's good to be back it's listen not to break the show magic, but it's Valentine's Day IRL guys. I know you're getting a day later, but are you feeling the love today? I know your kid roasted you a couple days ago, but was the love there this morning? Yeah, I mean, Valentine's Day is a kid's holiday. Like it's a big day at school. Like they got to dress up in pink and purple. I did the same to kind of match the vibes. And it was really fun. Yeah, it's really great.

I was so happy dropping them off at school and not for the normal reasons that I get to just like be done with them for the morning. You know, did they make their own Valentine's or did they buy? No, we just bought it. We just bought some. That's cute. That's cute. Yeah. Cute when they're like organizing them and putting the names on and attaching the candy.

Yeah, exactly. That's so cute. Because your kids don't do a lot of candy, right? They don't. They don't do a ton of candy. They think fruit is candy. It's hilarious. That's great.

Will they dive into it without you now that all the kids are going to be eating candy at school? Yeah, I mean, aroundeen and and times like that they they they're aware of the existence of candy they're just uh they just have a very low threshold you know after after halloween they have like a couple pieces of candy and then they forget it exists somehow whereas i can't i'm like still eating it a month later just being like well they won't notice if there's only three gummy bears left in the whole thing. Joelle, we have to welcome in our guest in our third seat, one of our favorite guests,

one of our audience's favorite guests. She is an amazing writer, actor, one of the funniest stand-up comedians doing it. And she has a new stand-up special on HBO that you guys, it's the best special I've seen in years. It really is. I agree. Thank you so much. I don't usually use the phrases tour de force and bravura because those

are stupid phrases but like that's when I was writing this intro. I was like, I just have to use those phrases. That's how fucking good this is. She made me use those shitty phrases. Thank you. The special is called bitch grow up and she is called marcella i'm back i'm back back back back i actually want my intro to not include writer actor i just want to be stand-up comedian i want to cut that shit out okay i mean you guys don't actually have to cut it but like i'm i like, no, I'm officially

fully 100% stand-up comedian with this special. Yes. Amazing. Yes. It's so good. Thank you. How's it been? It dropped last week?

Yeah, it dropped last week. It's been cool. I mean, the love has been cool. I kind of was like, because we taped it last July. Oh, damn. It's been a minute. We've been sitting on it and sitting and waiting. I was all like, man, I can't wait to get all these compliments and love because i knew

so good yeah oh good i did it we did um two shows but i did it in one in one show like that's one show that's one take that's one take which for those who don't know it's unheard of in stand-up some because it's it's hard it's hard to do that and um i fucking did it and then i got hammered for the second show i told the audience they fucking missed the the special i was like you guys have to tune in now and do the jokes i had no enthusiasm i was like i'm fucking drunk i'm fucking i killed it i'm done and ida rodriguez is director she's great comedian if you're not familiar with her she has a nation max special as well but she um yeah right before, right before I went on stage, because I was already like, I don't think I'm going to do my shit. And she was like, do whatever you want.

Yeah. Before I even said it. Yeah, it was fun. It was cool. I'm very proud of it. The special is done. The special is done. Amazing.

Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about today. Everyone is still a flutter over the ufos so we're going to talk about them because it's it's i think it's becoming a little clearer what they are the the three things that got shot out of the sky so there there was the chinese spy balloon and then the next week three things that they've still yet to identify. There's like reports that one of them is an octagon and like the pilots are heard on one of the tapes saying that's no balloon or something to that effect. So we're going to we're going to talk about what it is. I don't I don't

think these are actual extraterrestrial UFOs, though I do, I am open to the possibility of extraterrestrial UFOs. I don't think these are them. So we'll talk about all of that. We're going to talk about Tesla workers possibly launching a union campaign. They are launching a union campaign. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about Roseanne's new special, all of that, plenty more. But first, Marcella, we do like to ask our guest you know us we like to ask our guests what's something from your search history my um my last search history was richard and maurice mcdonald's because last night we watched uh the founder with starring michael keaton's newly on netflix and i had wanted to watch it when it came out back in 2016, but I never watched it.

And I was like, first of all, I love McDonald's. Okay. I'm very excited to get the Cardi B offset meal today for Valentine's day. Okay. That's what we're planning on doing. Wow. Yeah.

And I, when we started watching it, cause you know, I know it was based on a true story, but we started watching it. I've gotten into the habit of Googling shit before I keep watching because white lotus season one pissed me off so fucking much that it was so stupid and i was like i when i when i went to watch the chippendales show on hulu i i saw the first episode was like i gotta fucking google this and see if it's real and see how fucking dark it gets

and because i if i don't want to watch this shit I want to make sure I don't watch this shit. Waste my fucking time. Yeah. I think spoilers are actually very beneficial sometimes. Based on the true story. If it's based on a true story, but more so than not, but I also hate some of these TV shows that are just scripted reality

television, like white Lotus. And, um, I was like, I don't want to watch this bullshit. I want to watch something that's actually going to end with an interesting story. And I was like, I don't want to watch this bullshit. I want to watch something that's actually going to end

with an interesting story. And so I go, and I was reading about these dudes, these fucking idiots really just got played hardcore because they were just too good. They're too good men. Yeah.

But they were also Republicans, so they weren't that good. You know what I mean? Right. But it was just an interesting thing to read about how fucked over they got dick and mo uh yes and uh and how bad ray crock fucked them over and so that was like the last thing on my on my search and i got really into it and then we watched the rest of the movie and i think we might have even turned it off or we're kind of checking out by the end because

it was so like damn this is just fucking sad now just dark yeah it's just about like a rich old guy who's like oh man i'm spiritually empty yeah exactly exactly it's pretty common so that was my last google search so and you just despise white lotus because it's just not nothing had like the payoff of the murder and stuff that dead body in the first episode i was like oh we're gonna have like a murder mystery. Like, I'm down. I like Knives Out. I like Glass Onion. I like Clue and all that shit.

I'm down. And then it wasn't. It was just rich white people bickering and being spoiled little princesses. And I was like, that's literally reality television. That's the Kardashians. That's all it is. And I will not shit on the actors.

The actors were all great. You know, they do a good job. But the fucking story itself was pointless to me. I was so furious. And then at the end, a cautionary tale about holding your blades down rather than facing outwards. So dumb! It was so stupid! Yeah, I kind

of agreed. I feel like season two, they were like, alright, we need to give them some real fireworks. But I'm already out. I'm already checked out. Season two didn't even give it a shot because I was like, no, they were like, alright, we need to give them some real fireworks. But I'm already out. I'm already checked out. Season 2 didn't even give it a shot because I was like, no, they're gonna have fucking more filler. No killer. You know what I mean? Unlike my special on HBO Max called Bitch Grow Up. It's all killer.

No filler. All killer. I maxed out on rich white people after Succession. I was like, that's enough. I mean, you can only do it so much because I never watched it because I was like, no, I can already tell this is not for me and White Lotus was getting so much hype I was like let me watch this and I was pissed because again

these fucking Ray Kroc this is a rich white person story I want to see because it's real and it's fucking crazy and it's foul and that's how you learn shit switching briefly to rich people of color looking at this Cardi B offset meal.

These meals are confusing to me. Why? Okay. So the meal is a cheeseburger with barbecue sauce and a large Coke, a quarter pounder with cheese and a large high seat orange lava burst, which I know that was what it was called. I was like, I'll just have an orange drink. A large fry and an apple pie. Has it always been called that or they just added a new flavor? It might be the title of the drink, but I think she's right.

I think most people are like, well, just get an orange drink. Yeah, orange. Orange, I see. The flavor is the color. But now I want to. Yeah. Right? The flavor is the color.

That's right. So I guess what's confusing to me is this idea of like, these are just basic menu options already available. And then the combinations aren't even like, I never would have thought to put these things together. Like, wow. It's just, you're eating what famous people eat. Yes.

You're eating their favorite. Yeah. You're eating their favorite. I mean, look, I just, I usually get the same shit when I go there. So it's like, if my, if I a you know a mcdonald's meal with my boo it would be pretty boring shit you know what is the marcella argueo meal it's uh two cheeseburgers french fries and a coca-cola maybe an apple pie if i'm feeling crazy you're wild yeah and i get extra pickles that's the that's the key there. And then he would get a fish filet and probably also an orange drink.

Just like whatever. That's where it's getting interesting. The fish filet. That's where it gets interesting. Fish filet has been an underrated many times on this show, by the way. It's such a good. Oh, my God. There was a restaurant in Los Gatos where we were at this last weekend.

And they supposedly were like, we're selling the fancy fish filet. But they ran out, so we didn't get to try it. But we were like, eh, we're selling the fancy fish filet but they ran out so we didn't get to try it but we were like eh we'd just rather have fish filet anyways at mcdonald's they were selling it no they were at this restaurant in los gatos it's like a fancy the vibe was weird in there when you walked in too because you're just like i don't know if i even want this from here you know white people trying to hard ass restaurant that type of shit a whole genre of restaurant that's why i would most restaurants these cardian offset okay yes it make the billionaires more rich yeah i'm always intrigued when i hear about like a good mcdonald's like we there there's one in wales that is apparently the

one person one food critic argues is the best restaurant in wales oh that's a mcdonald's dude that's funny i went to the um the headquarters in chicago this is where my boo lives and they had special items like global items holy shit what we had some fun stuff are you allowed to tell us i don't remember no yeah yeah it's there i just i don't remember what it was but they just have like they just have weird it's like you know every country every place has like the things they like, the meats that they like. And they just had these special global menu items and we just ordered as many

as the different ones we could. Sometimes they had new items. They had, I think, donut holes or some shit. Yeah, I'm obsessed with McDonald's. Damn. Stroop and Waffle McFlurry, Victor says. Okay. It's the best. Ew, that's not good.

Yeah, that sucks because I can't have dairy. I'll shit my fucking pants off. I bet the Stroopin' Waffle. All the way off. All the way off. They just shit right off. But the Stroopin' Waffle sounds hella yum. That shit is good.

Those cookies are fucking good. I just had a Stroopin' Waffle last night because I went to Target to try and get some Valentines for my kids' class, because we couldn't find the box that we had bought already. We both have ADD. And then, so I didn't have anything to buy, and I needed the validation for the parking. So I picked up a Stroopwafel on the way out.

There you go. You know, it was all worth it. It was God's plan. That shit's so good. I laugh because this is absolutely an adb thing to do like okay i know i bought it already it's here somewhere no it's too late i can't count on finding it i think i like it because i didn't want them to that's the worst that's the worst when you go i'm gonna put it here for safety or to remember this is where i'll remember here in this different spot

that i've never put the thing and i'll definitely remember even though it's in a whole new spot bitch that's how you forget you're setting yourself up for failure i know text is real it's very real what's your underrated marcella oh sorry what's your overrated there you go my overrated today is valentine's unnecessary tomorrow but i do want to just give a shout out to valentine's day i don't have any negative associations with valentine's even though i've never been in a good healthy relationship i don't have any negative associations with valentine's even though i've never been in a good healthy relationship i don't have any negative associations with it and i want to i want people to stop fucking shitting on valentine's day like oh it's a capitalist hole that bitch we live in america everything is a fucking capitalist something

or other okay stop acting like your lonely ass actually gives a fuck about valentine's day you don't you're sad and you're jealous and you're mad. And that's fine. But don't put that shit on everybody else. I have been single damn near every Valentine's Day of my whole life. And I have never shit on it because I think it's just great. It's about love and it's about candy. And that's fucking it.

There's nothing to hate on in terms of. And you also shouldn't. I agree that you shouldn't have to spend money for Valentine's Day to be special. I do agree with that. But I also am just like, man, let these little kids have their fucking little candies and their little cards and their little moment and their little outfits. And then the adults, if you're not taking that childhood vibe with it, then you're not fucking doing it right. That's a chicken point. It's really easy to beat up on Valentine's Day and be like, oh, do you need a reason

to express your love? Like, dumb. Like, here's all these cheesy bears. But, like, have you ever got a bear? It's so cute. You're like, oh my god. It's so cute. To me, it's one of the more innocent holidays, you know, because you literally can spend, like, five bucks and put a smile on somebody's face.

You can just literally give people some cute candy with a cute character on it. It's not that big of a deal. No one had to get nailed to a cross or killed for it to be a holiday. That's such a specific aesthetic that only exists and is pretty unspoiled. The little kid valentines still look like they used to. They look like shit. They're cute, but they don't. They're not like, now these light up. They still look like shit. They're cute, but they don't. They're not like, now these light up.

They still look the same. They're still made of reused cardboard. They were recycling before anyone else. So my overrated is people who think it's like cool to shit on Valentine's Day. It's not. It's stupid. You look fucking lame as fuck. You look like a cornball virgin loser.

That's how you look when you shit on Valentine's Day. Okay. What is something you think is underrated what do i think is underrated i okay so i grew up in the suburbs and there's like this trend all over social media to like act like eating it whatever olive garden or something is like the lamest shit ever again this is like the opposite of what i just said but flip because i'm like stop acting like having a decent meal for a reasonable price is fucking terrible yeah like you go to these places olive garden outback steakhouse wherever there's always families in there people are just spending

time with each other just having meals laughter you know whatever love and i i really i don't like this like trend on social media everybody's like ew you ate that fucking olive garden oh my god that's fucking nasty right bitch there's a reason they're popular and that they're everywhere yeah i mean this is like the um the girls are going to air one and being like this is my 600 ice cream sundae yeah exact same people yeah it's fucking lame obnoxious when people are like it's so bleak in there it's like you're just you're scared of poor people i guess you you find like the idea of not having money gross and that's what you're saying what there are people

in there who don't have as much money as you maybe and you're like oh my god it's so bleak and depressing exactly not everybody's gonna go to fucking jose andreas restaurants every fucking chance they get that's and that's fine that's like you shouldn't look down on people because they that's where that's where the the treat meal is for them there or you know there's sunday after church meal or whatever the fuck like there is nothing wrong with people fucking spending a little bit of money because that's all they have. Or even if that's what they want to eat, you know, even if you do have money and that's where you want to go. Fucking whatever, man.

Also, have you ever been teenagers? That was the time, man. We go to like our $15 little restaurant or whatever. We could afford this. It felt like kings were really balling. Yes. We could smoke in a restaurant. Forget about it.

Yes. Amazing. The bill was never enough. felt like kings were really balling. That's when you could smoke in a restaurant. Forget about it. Yes. Amazing. The bill was never enough. Nobody was like, what the fuck kind of mathematics is it with a shared restaurant bill when you're in high school? Yes. It has never once been enough. Never. Never.

Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. It's like that. Oh, that. You know what? You know what it is? I think at the end of the day and I think this is true for my stand-up and I think this is true just for how I live my

life I'm really tired of people being mad about the wrong shit yeah it's very exhausting that people spend so much energy on the wrong shit like you're really mad about valentine's day bro get a life you're mad about families going to hometown buffet or whatever the fuck like dude let people just have their little pieces of enjoyment however they can get it like the world is hard enough like the news is sad enough and like that's the shit that you put your energy into you're mad about the wrong shit you gotta be mad about the right shit you gotta learn how to like channel your anger your energy your negativity into the right places. Get out there and vote, people. That's what I'm trying to say. Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, we used to hit up. There's an Applebee's in a strip mall in Lexington, Kentucky with a cigarette machine in the back. And that was every Friday night for a long time. You know what? And that's actually, that's the other thing, too, is that I think that especially left-wing liberals and shit,

they concentrate on shitting on shit they shouldn't be shitting on. It turns people off. You know, and I think that's that's part of the problem that I think a lot of liberal Democratic people, they they focus too much energy on the stupidest shit. And it's like, bro, you can't get people on our side if you're going to shit on like the things that they just simply enjoy on a weekly basis or whatever the fuck. Like sex scenes in movies. Yeah. Yeah. That is.

Yeah. That's puritanical movement of being like no more sex scenes ever. Like, yeah. Children. What? Yeah. It's weird.

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like the liberal urge to make fun of NASCAR is not good. It's not good for the big D Democrat party. It's also just like, it's just a thing. Yeah, people just enjoy their shit. Like, let people enjoy, whatever it is. Their, like, little pastime shit

isn't actually affecting you. Like, why the fuck are you mad about it, you know? Learn how to drive. How about that, guys? Learn how to be able to use your turning signal when you're supposed to how about that focus your energy on that learn how to merge your car bro the driving in la is don't even get don't get me started don't even get me started one of my favorite snl sketches of all time.

This wasn't just a new game.

Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back!

he's a sick fuck alright let's talk about UFOs because the world is talking about UFOs Daily Zeitgeist has been talking about UFOs for a long time so we're once again ahead of the zeitgeist. But this is, so the timeline, the TikTok of it all is that they shot down that Chinese spy balloon and then three more things, four more things over the past, like, following week. And everyone's like,

oh, we're being invaded. And there was a White House press conference where Karine Jean-Pierre told the press there is no, again, no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. But then a U.S. Air Force general specifically said that he hadn't ruled out extraterrestrials. Thank you for being honest with the public, sir. I don't think it's extraterrestrial i think they know about some extraterrestrial ass shit like that they're not talking about but i feel like this is a bait and switch where they're like this is sky trash and we're shooting sky trash out of out of the air and we want you to think this is maybe ufos and then we'll show you the weather balloon

that we shot out of the sky. Is this to throw us off later for when actual aliens get here and they're like, no, remember the sky trash? This is exactly what that was. I think aliens are already here and they know it personally.

Okay. Do you think the sky trash is from them? They themselves did it to distract from the China one? No. So I think what happened is the china one no so i think what happened is the china one freaked them out they opened their aperture a little wider to be like okay we have to like really be paying attention to the sky like all of our like radars all of like our super you know detailed cameras and they started noticing things that they didn't notice

before because they weren't looking for them, basically. And this isn't just my theory. When the Chinese spy balloon thing happened, a bunch of people were like, oh, this is going to lead to a bunch of false positives. Because now everyone is just going to be looking more closely at everything that's in the sky. And apparently the sky is just lousy with balloons. There are reportedly thousands of balloons. Just like the ocean. Yeah, exactly. Thousands of balloons above the earth. When the Chinese balloon was spotted, balloon experts immediately worried that the increased scrutiny of the skies could generate

a paralyzing wave of false alarms. The National Weather Service alone launches 60,000 balloons a year. What? For what? Yeah. And they're not the only ones who do it. It's to see what's going on up there, take samples to see how the wind is moving, because I think that is, you know, what's happening at those high levels, the temperature, the speed of the wind all that shit like affects overall weather patterns right

sure science absolutely yeah science but then there's i still think that the chinese balloon was actually more serious than they're willing to let on and now they're like just putting these false ones up there whether they are putting them or there are some other shit to distract sure um i don't know that's my conspiracy theory brain going yeah there's apparently also private companies that will just send balloons up if you pay them to one guy paid to loft a device that played aloud the pink floyd album the dark side of the moon oh wow to like freak out superman i don't know like who is up there that he's trying people just like just do shit and just say that they did it there's no rhyme or reason for what the shit that they do they just like to say that they did it yeah and so the reason to a rom-com

and we're just not fully privy to why it was so romantic yet but he was like no babe i played the dark side of the moon yeah up in the clouds in the stratosphere just for you, babe. It was like a forced meet queue with some chick he was trying to impress. Yes. Maybe an alien. Maybe an alien. He got a kick out of that alien pussy and now he really wants it forever. Captain Kirk in it.

I do feel like it's... More like Captain Jerk in it. Thank you. Sorry. like captain jerk in it thank you i do i do feel like they're like this is good perspective i think for people to like understand that the sky can be full of all of these things that are like the size of multiple buses or the size of you know a car and you would have no idea because the sky is very big and so there's just like so much stuff happening up there but like that was one of the things that as i was like working through my skepticism of like ufos

and stuff that was something that i had to like get my mind around is just like yeah no the like let go of a mylar balloon and like it will disappear like fairly quickly and that's as shiny as fuck but the sky is just so huge wasn't that one of the funnest things you did when you were a kid was let the balloon go and then just watch it until it disappeared. Yeah. That shit was fun. I didn't realize I was polluting the earth, but I loved it.

Yeah. Let you know how small you are. It's interesting to me, the number of, uh, science fiction stories coming out that we're now seeing sort of mirrored in reality. I became of like the whole, there's now mirrored in reality at the beginning of like

the whole there's now like a very intense fear in the population of like okay our mushroom is going to take over our body now that we've overheated the earth and i've seen several articles of scientists being like i don't know some weird things are happening with mushrooms it's crazy like because of the last of us that is yes because the last of us and then nope came out last year and now all of a sudden everyone's like what's happening in the sky i don't like it and i'm not sure what it is and it's creeping me out is it watching us is it evil is it impending war like what's up there it is nope is the first movie i remember that like has a spoiler i guess you can like move 15 30 seconds forward but like it has a balloon-ish

type like ufo like it's not it's not an actual balloon but there's like parts of it that are like thin and wispy and like definitely the most beautiful ufo i've ever seen but also like different in makeup all the all the rest had been like it's a metal hockey puck or you know unique interpretation yeah and now everyone's like balloons are ufos which that makes sense to me because like the last time that so the the peaks and ufo sightings throughout like modern history were 1978 and the 90s and 1978 is when close encounters of the third kind came out and the 90s was when the x-files and independent stay but also 78 and the 90s some good drugs going on around that time also like not bad drugs yeah yeah so some of the some of our best drug years. But I don't know. People are also pointing out that we got more paranoid. Just like when you look at psychological evaluations across the population, like during the pandemic.

I was going to say the pandemic really heightened all that shit where it's like people were way more open with their conspiracy theories, which I think is fine. Because I think, you know, communicating your ideas is good uh with anybody especially loved ones yeah get it out let's talk it through um i just i know my brother is definitely hoping their ufos and aliens are coming my brother loves aliens so yeah i just i don't think that if they could get here from a planet that is light years away that they would also be so slow that we could shoot them down with a gas-powered aircraft. Like it just doesn't, you know? Like I think it's gonna be-

What if it's a full-blown war from their perspective? Like people always think aliens are fucking super intelligent. Maybe they're fucking not. You ever think about that, Jack? You ever think we're smarter than the aliens, huh? Yeah, but how'd they get here if they're not smart? Figured it out. They learned some other shit we don't have yet.

Yeah, I mean, totally. My main belief is that I don't know shit, and I'm probably wrong about everything. Yeah, that's why your four-year-old has a fucking problem with you, okay? But the things that I think are more intriguing from an extraterrestrial standpoint are like the tic-tac-siding where like that fighter jet came eye to eye with a inexplicable tic-tac that moved faster than anything should be able to given the laws of physics and like he saw it with his eyes and it wasn't like a they locked onto some blurry object he like it with his eyes and it wasn't like they locked on to some blurry object. He like saw it with his eyes. It circled him and then like zipped off in a second.

And like there are other examples of that. Like there's an astronaut who like when he was before he was an astronaut, when he was in the Air Force, like witnessed with his eyes a disc shaped like silver reflective thing and like chased it with his plane for like a little while and like those are the things that make the most sense to me but i i also i don't know i i totally get why people are are obsessed with this but i also feel like you sound like you're obsessed i am i mean i'm obsessed with ufos i think it's like the most interesting thing. Like, we might as well be talking about them all the time because it's like if aliens exist and are here, like, shit. What's your alien fantasy, Jack? I need to hear it.

My alien fantasy? Like, the sexual one or the... Hey, man, you said that. Fantasy is open to interpretation. Sure. Yeah, no, I mean, I think the thing that's most intriguing to me about the idea of aliens is, and I've talked about this before, so again, people can skip forward this time. No, no, they didn't listen to this shit. No, no, they didn't listen to this shit.

This is what TDZ is really about. We're going to get greedy of Jack O'Brien's brain. The thing that's most intriguing is that they have the technology to get here. They presumably have the technology to do anything to us that they want to do to us. And they've been here for a long time and they haven't done it. And therefore, it makes me hopeful that they're just like viewing us and our military industrial. if our military industrial complex was right and like you have to have the best weapons because therefore like if you don't have the best weapons someone else is going to kill you like the aliens who have the best technology would have killed us already like that we wouldn't be here anymore so the fact that they haven't but they've been here i think is so we're like we're like a zoo to them we're like a zoo they like we're like trapped animals and they're like like, well, they're not even worth doing anything to, but they're fun to look at.

Yeah. And also maybe they're rooting for us because the places we saw the most UFO activity was around nuclear weapons. So they were just trying to make sure we didn't fucking blow ourselves up. Checking in, making sure. Yeah, just making sure to mess it up. I don't know. That's such a benevolent sort of look at, at what our relationship might be.

You know, it's still like, Oh, you know, they're all knowing and all powerful, but they're chill and they're not really trying to interfere. I feel like they're probably more fifth dimensional and they're like, listen,

what a three-dimensional thing like i it's weird and i can't really observe it with my five-dimensional eyes and i'm aware that they're there but like who cares it's us with bacteria we're like as long as you're not causing us to be sick like you go forth and do what you will i guess oh that's interesting i like this interesting how about you marcel i don't think about aliens bro they kill me they kill me they kill you they kill you i don't give a shit it's just like god i don't know it i don't understand it and i don't question it i just let it be there you go all right but i i appreciate the conversation genuinely because i i like the way people think about shit that doesn't like i don't think about like because like i said my brother loves aliens i'm like

that motherfucker will talk about that shit forever and i find that so interesting yeah yeah i find it that's why i don't think the tdz fans should be fucking skipping forward this shit is interesting there's nothing wrong with having these types of conversations you know yeah yeah i just have them a lot i say this shit i love it good all right should we talk about tesla real quick yeah i'm glad you guys took out the nicki haley shit the nicki haley shit we all right jokes lined up we can also talk about nicki haley let's talk tesla and then and then move to nicki haley so really briefly just the the movement or the the showdown between unions and the richest people on the planet is getting more clear more you know the lines are being drawn workers at a buffalo tesla factory are launching a campaign to unionize

seeking better pay and benefits the union drive is being led by the plant software workers who help develop driver assistance software for cars and reportedly make less than national averages and receive little sick time i'm sorry but oh my god you know tesla is the thing that for a long time you've just been like on the outside looking in you're like this is a mess this is a mess for a while like not only do you have you know i'm not going to armchair diagnose from my bedroom but an unwell and probably unfit leader and then on top of that you know their workers are dealing with like a lot of racism we know the hours are crazy but then the product is also a disaster yeah just looking at like the weird truck thing they built that's supposed to be

indestructible and definitely isn't the way like the driving cars have been imploding on themselves like it's a hot mess over there but then on top of that to learn like not only is this company for the most part you know before the twitter fiasco was pretty financially like on an upward tick like when you hear the companies have been making a lot of money and having all these advances and then completely screwing their employees like nothing makes me crazier than that because of course then it's like well your downfall was inevitable we know for a fact when you don't take care of your workers you can't produce quality products yeah but i i actually think so tesla also the the thing that this revealed the story that i i didn't realize is tesla tracks

their employees computer keystrokes to monitor how they work like forcing the employees to refrain from taking bathroom breaks so like that that's the same shit as Amazon, right? So I think that a lot in a lot of cases, these like big tech behemoth, like sexy stock, you know, companies that drive this generational wealth that like makes Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, the richest people in the world, like their main innovation was using surveillance technology to like treat people inhumanely like that. That is they. So like it works for a while because you get a lot of work out of people for little spending. But it's also like not sustainable and it's fucking inhumane and we like shouldn't stand for it it's no wonder tesla is fucking a garbage product like to find out their their employees are underpaid and constipated because like nothing is more stressful than needing to take a shit at work and then you're like i gotta time it out perfectly and then if they're watching your

keystrokes yeah oh you can't even enjoy your little shit right yeah you just gotta that's crazy that's why their product is shit because they won't let their employees take comfortable shits you gotta look out for your employees man the employees are 20 percent shit by the end of the workday so of course what they create is going to be stress that's not good for the body and they're not even getting paid right so like yeah of course their products are garbage yeah so in case the idea of underpaid employees shitting themselves in a crowded office in the service of the richest man in the world

somehow doesn't get you on their side tesla also has a history of blocking unionization efforts with intimidation what a fucking surprise yeah exactly 2018 elon musk tweeted that employees that unionized would lose their stock options and he was forced to delete the tweet by the NLRB. But at the same time, if you're like one of those employees, the company doesn't really push back on these billionaires in any meaningful way. So you're kind of like, okay, well, the company made him delete the tweet, but he still might do that shit. know yeah it's crazy i just feel bad because you know there's some areas where it's like there there's just not a lot of jobs and like you just take the job to take the job and it's like yeah they're paying me nothing

but like i have to take this job because it's the only job i can get right now and that shit sucks it's just so stressful being alive is stressful enough level don't have to deal with all that extra bullshit all right let's take a quick break we'll come back we'll talk about Nikki Haley and Barney yeah fantasy football fans the NFL season is here and now is the time to get ready to dominate your leagues the best way to crush your opponents this season is to listen to the NFL fantasy football podcast.

Football Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful.

I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Bruce Bozzi. On my podcast Table for Two, we have unforgettable lunch after unforgettable lunch with the best guest you could possibly

ask for. People like David Duchovny. You know, New Yorkers have a reputation of being very tough, but it's not. It's not that way at all. They're very accepting. Jeff Goldblum. Are you saying secret fries? Secret fries. What?

That's what you're saying? Yeah. And Kristen Wiig. I just became so aware that I'm such a loud chewer. My husband's just like, sometimes I'll be eating and he'll just be looking at me. I'm like, I'm just eating. Like, I don't know how else to chew. Table for Two is a bit different from other interview shows.

We sit down at a great restaurant for a bit different from other interview shows. We sit down at a great restaurant for a meal and the stories start flowing. Our second season is airing right now, so you can catch up on our conversations that are intimate, surprising, and often hilarious. Listen to Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we're back. Oh, we're back. Sorry.

Were you going to we're back? We're back. And we're back. Back. There we go. So Nikki Haley is officially running to be the Republican candidate for president. Oh, yeah. You need to get that sound on like if you guys do like John.

Yeah. Yeah. Fucking Mars. But like, yeah. Yeah. You need. That's a good sound right there. I love it. She is the first major rival to challenge trump she made the announcement in a

heavily produced video i have not watched it yet have you guys watched it i watched it it's fun it's so stupid that's how fun it is it's just dumb what's she promising in there nothing that's what's fun about it i kept waiting for her to drop some policy shit and she was like fucking conservative barack just fucking just trust me you just trust me trust me you know it was like the it's like the hope i know we've got hope it's like no we need we need fucking policy we need some info what are you fucking doing we're black and we did it oh my god yeah i was accomplished yeah that's all it was she's like literally the the Republican Barack where it's like, she's not, and it's not even empty promises.

There's just nothing being promised. It's like, we are loud and we are proud. Let's take it back. What? Just words. Just words. Like a vibe only. A vibe only.

I mean, that makes sense for her party, given that they're never going to trust a woman anyway so she'll definitely bring a man in as vice president and he'll be like who was bush's boy who was really running the show oh uh cheney cheney yes yeah it's just it'll be a dick cheney part two and it'll be horrifying if she finds the right person more insane yeah absolutely i just liked it because she was like they called me the beast from the southeast and she's like it thinks that's a great i was like point like she loves that they fucking used it you just insulted her i was like i just want to come up with my own be like i'm the mongrel from mississippi like she's like what are you advertising here bitch it's It's so stupid. Right. So she talks about how she's the proud daughter of Indian immigrants, but also promises to secure our borders and strengthen our country.

Doesn't say how. Yeah. Doesn't say how. I promised to do it. That's what Trump did. He also promised to do it. Didn't do shit. But it's interesting to think of somebody like this feels like the Pence thing and like Jeb Bush before her and where it's just the old theory that we're going to triangulate.

We're going to be racist while being a different race or we're going to be like, you know, only take care of the rich while pretending to like NASCAR. like you know only take care of the rich while pretending to like nascar you know it's like just folding over of two impossible contradictory traits but it you you have to be completely indirect and talk around everything of substance if you're going to do that and i feel like trump has kind of made that sort of thing impossible especially if you're like to do that and i feel like trump has kind of made that sort of thing impossible especially if you're like running in a race against him right yeah it's just there it's going it's lining up in a lot of ways like the 2016 primary where he just kind of walked through you know because nobody was playing the same game and some exactly and she's just saying fucking the most nonsensical shit she called nancy pelosi a socialist it was really funny she was

like god damn i wish well i know right she was like look at these socialists or other fuck and it was like aoc bernie that the the normal people that they you know give that title to and then nancy pelosi was also on there and i was like she is the most republican democrat bitch like you need to relax they just know they're not supposed to like nancy she has no idea where her policy is she has never looked to see how nancy has voted in her entire life she doesn't care yeah yeah i definitely felt like the the the girl's version of trump like just really just nothing there was nothing going on she tried to be like and i did it all wearing heels like she literally says that in the video

like i did it wearing heels like she's fucking ginger rogers like she like she thinks that that's like the feminist angle to be wearing heels while taking people's rights away like so many women have decided not to like just stop wearing heels you do not have to wear heels now this is not the 50s ma'am or the 70s or even the 90s nobody here is like hey you're not in heels you don't belong in this like space as a woman this is it's weird backwards thinking and look who are you selling on this really except maybe women over 60 well the people that were mad about the m&ms getting their heels taken away they were like oh you know what she's and you know you're right and and those types of men yes

yes she'll also be speaking to them the green eminem the original green eminem is going to be her running partner did it both both did it with bring back the sexy eminems yes i mean that's what she's doing she's like i'm bringing sexy back i'm justin timberlake it was so dumb but she also and then i think today or yesterday because you she obviously announced it, there was like an old video that got resurfaced of her defending the Confederate flag. So that's a fun little video to watch. Yeah. She also described, says she has seen evil. It's China and Iran.

Oh, my God. She says she's blessed to live in America because after a woman tells you about watching soldiers throw her baby into a fire, it puts things into perspective, which is, I don't know. I can't imagine there's been another presidential campaign that has referenced burning babies before. Oh, my God. And you know, in comedy, that's like such an easy thing, a dead baby joke. That's like, that's some of the most like shock, easy, like basic one-on-one comedy. So I love that she used that strategy for this campaign video it's so funny yeah and she was looking for a laugh you could tell when she said

yeah that part of her campaign that she was she wanted a laugh she yeah she should be the one writing for roseanne barr for her new special because she's just got some good shit in that just banger after banger banger should we talk about roseanne's just special let's talk about it wow so it's called cancel this have you have you guys watched like there was a minute that was yeah i watched the clip online yeah when it came out i was like oh my god i couldn't believe so what was the tweet somebody was like uh how do you make pigtails that hateful it's bizarre and weird she's in overalls and pigtails just being like and i hate i don't know everybody just like rosanne what what is my goal here my favorite joke was uh you're like the they he she they them how about get a job and the crowd's like yeah it's truly yeah it's a satire of like what what passes for

comedy it it is airing on fox nation by the way of course it is i think it's so interesting that fox is like oh okay so entertainment doesn't want to f with us because you know that's it's a liability and we we recognize our listenership to be a minority in the market so we'll develop a comedy space for them and then none of their comedians are funny but like there's got to be such a dedication it's like the christian people who would never play like read harry potter or go to the movies because i thought it was about the devil but now that jk rowling is trans they're like nope we're gonna crack open that harry potter book like this is the truth and it's like it's very strange how like clingy they are to

anything that sort of highlights their ideology yeah they're like it doesn't have to be good you just have to say the sentence you have to use those buzzwords that we prefer which is just like anti-everybody and they just think they're like yeah get a job that's hilarious yeah i know the nazi comparisons are like overdone but when you look at the rise of nazism like hitler was obsessed with pop culture and like how to make nazism more like pop culturally relevant and with you know wanted to like was obsessed with disney was obsessed with coca-cola like that's that is the thing that like fascism always wants because fascism is all like style over substance and there's no substance behind the ideas like they want to be cool and be culturally relevant and i guess that like greg

gutfeld to show got enough of an audience that they're like we got we're we're the new name in comedy and so they're they've pulled in along with roseanne uh i guess during the super bowl they were advertising shows featuring big stars like jim belushi and dan akroyd that's a fucking bummer i didn't know dan akroyd was like that i mean yeah you didn't watch none of those shows he was on? It's pretty easy to figure it out. I watched Ghostbusters and that was it. Is Dan Aykroyd like that?

Or is he realizing he has an audience that is still very active in that space? I don't know. I think it's both. I don't know anything about Dan Aykroyd so it wouldn't surprise me. We've definitely seen celebrities be like that's where my audience is and i'm still trying to make money that's the reality of stand-up that's that's the problem with stand-up right now

is that a lot of comedians have because of trump had a like a reckoning and with the realization of who their audience is and um it's been interesting watching which comedians are embracing that audience and which ones are kind of pushing back on that audience and i find that very fascinating to watch just as someone who i did love all these people like i did love rosanna i did love dan and roy like i did love these people growing up and to know that when they can when they have a choice to make they they go against you you're like oh okay well fuck you too then like i don't i don't know what to do and and and that's why it's like been interesting as a stand-up specifically to watch comedy kind of become so fucking divided to the point where and let's be real there's a lot of

left-wing comedians who aren't funny either who are doing very similar pandering and and i feel like stand-up has really suffered in the last like five years right because of what's going on politically the comedy comedy yo i have to can i talk about the in your special oh yeah go ahead marcella keeps yelling at her audience for clapping at her jokes because like they're laughing and clapping but you're just like it was taking too much time clapping takes up time i'm sorry and i'm not that like that's again what problem i have with a lot of comics and roseanne does it too where she does a stupid ignorant joke and then pauses for laughter to to tell the audience you dumb fucks you have this is where

you're supposed to laugh because this joke is so not funny i have to pause to indicate to you to laugh good comedian doesn't do that i was not doing that if you notice that in the special i'm like i get a like my pause for a second but that's it because i'm like no we got to keep this shit moving i have 30 minutes of material and it was funny i kind of regret not making a claptor joke in that moment because none of the fuckers were lit as fuck and which is nice but it does take up a lot of time and i'm I don't do claptor comedy. I fucking write jokes that are funny, and I'm not trying to pander to anybody. And so I think that a lot of left-wing comedians also need to fucking reckon with the fact that they're not writing jokes.

They're pandering. They're doing that claptor shit, and that's what Roseanne is doing. And I kind of like that this shit is online so that people can see what really really bad comedy is you know yeah absolutely and it's like if that's what you like man you fucking you got a lot more problems than just you know who you enjoy as entertainers yeah she at one point says she made this special popular was the general public, not like oil tycoons. And by the way, like the majority of the conservative media apparatus is built up by oil and natural gas. Like that's it's like the Koch brothers make it possible for you to have this not but that's like what's funny about you know um a lot of these right wingers is that they're

they're willing to say a actual lie they know that's not true and they'll say it to pander to you know the poorer republicans to be like no no i'm just like you and it's like bitch you are a rich spoiled asshole like what are you talking about that's what exactly what you are yeah yeah it's weird that they can do it directly in front of people's faces though which is like i i try to like that's a reflection of like that's what crt is right republicans being like no we can't have this history this supposed history that's fully racist. Like, bro, that's just history, period. Like, that's the truth.

And they don't want to accept that that doesn't exist without the other shit. But that's the reality of being a Republican, just lying to yourself, saying whatever the fuck. It doesn't matter if people correct you. It doesn't matter if people come with you to fax because they have their alternative fax. Because it's like they had to literally rebrand their pathological pathological line and it's wild to watch and it continues you know yeah i mean the delusion again i just feel like when i had no money i recognized money when i saw it you know what i mean like it was never confusing to me to be like okay that is a tailored suit with really expensive fabric i can see your haircut it costs a lot of money you're clearly you know whatever skin regimen you're on is not cheap like you reek of money you can see it everywhere and i you would think it would be more

noticeable for those who don't have it but like something is happening over on that side where they're like just mystified by and they're like no these are like good salt of the earth people and or they somehow their perceived intelligence and and makes them worthy and their whiteness and their proximity to whiteness makes them worthy of having just this money and they should have it and for whatever reason it's not morally objectionable when these people do it right and they want they want to believe that like they're headed to that same place but it's also impossible to tell that rosanne is not salt of the earth because she has those pigtails on and yeah overalls it's really selling the image. Yeah. Yeah. Marcella,

Except it's like a dance hall type vibe. What? That sounds like something I would love. Oh, it's amazing. They put some interesting rhythmic stutters and drum samples from other places in there.

What? And then they throw it back to the og sample from the busted track it's an amazing song um i do not know how to pronounce the artist's name it's like n-a-d-g and then sean nizzle um this is we are runny grung remix and you can find that song in the footnotes that's one of my favorite beats.
