Starting point is 00:02:16 hey, fuck coke industries and fuck Fox News. It's Friday, September 6, 2019. Miles is wired. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Jack is on time to record the show tonight and the red light's on. Heavy glow. By the way, I tried to say I'd be there.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Ziting for. That is courtesy of Just Season 98 AKAs I appreciate the dedication The specificity And I'm thrilled to be joined as always By my co-host Mr. Miles Gray Secret spies from Colgash
Starting point is 00:03:00 Tried to steal Jack's mind elation And little Miles from L.A. dreams of Oscar Award invitations. And if you want these kind of dreams, it's site of fornication. Again, I think we have an exacto. Oh, shit. Just season 98 AKAs at AK week 98 with that Californication-inspired AKA. It's Friday, so next week I want fucking Nickelback AKAs. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:03:34 How many Nickelback songs are there? First of all, bro, don't start with me right now. All right. I apologize. You know what? Anyway, listeners, that uh because some people don't respect canadian art uh but i do so please hit me with the nickelback aka's i love pretty much every song uh from the first two albums you know i like uh silver side up i love
Starting point is 00:03:58 all the right reasons actually let's limit it to those silver side up for all the right reasons those are the albums i know yes yes yes is yes. Does that have the one about the girl who screwed him over? The one with the video? With the video of the girl who looks real mean? Sure. There's also another track called
Starting point is 00:04:19 Next Contestant, which sounds like a jealous boyfriend who is really concerned about how his girlfriend dresses for work at a bar. Oh, no. The first words are, I can tell by what she's wearing just how many heads I'm tearing off of assholes coming on to her. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Each night it's like it's getting worse. What? Each night it's like it's getting worse. And? Each night it's like it's getting worse. And then the thing is he's talking about these dudes coming up to his girl and that's when it goes, here comes the next contestant. Oh my God. Is that your hand on my girlfriend? Is that your hand?
Starting point is 00:05:01 Anyway, so yeah, Nickelback IgAs. your hand. Anyway, so yeah, Nickelback AKs. The idea that it's getting worse suggests that it's a pathological thing that's just a condition he has that's getting worse. Also, he just has no spine, too.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It's just like, oh, God. Now, I won't say anything, so I'm just going to take this out on these men and sort of put her employment in jeopardy. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious comedian and podcaster, Mr. Nick Turner. Oh, oh, cheetah.
Starting point is 00:05:37 That's what I sing to my dog, Cheetah. Oh, really? Yeah, that's my favorite thing. Oh, man. I have a theory about how it's getting worse for Chad. Is it Kroger or Kroger? Kroger. K-R-O-E-G.
Starting point is 00:05:49 That's the thing. And that's shame on me for not knowing. That's Matt Groening. Yeah. Yeah. Kroger. I think we say Kroger. That's what you'd think. But when I looked on the-
Starting point is 00:05:56 Kroger? Yeah. Well, hold on. Do you know how to look at like- Kroger? Phonetic pronunciation guides of people's names? Of course I do. But you do it this time.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Thank God. Oh, well, never mind. I'm going to agree with you. Here's my theory about why things are getting worse. Because she keeps wearing more and more revealing clothing. Yeah. But I think it's just because of her job as a bartender. Probably doesn't pay a lot, so she can't afford new clothes.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Also, her lifestyle is probably pretty unhealthy. She's probably gaining weight, which means that every time she puts on the clothes, they're a little more revealing than last time. And they're threadbare. Yeah, so... Was that worth saying? You know. I wonder, does she work... Is she an exotic
Starting point is 00:06:39 dancer? Got it out up front. Oh, maybe. But then at that point, it's like, yo, you gotta sort this out if you date you you knew what it was yeah not one she was completely naked yeah because there's another line where he says they'll go and ask the dj find out just what would she say if they tried coming on to her my guess based on extensive analysis is that she works at a Coyote Ugly type bar. Yes, yes, yes. You know, a Hooters type if you will. Those are very different. Are they?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Well, Hooters and Waitresses don't dance on the bar. They just give you the wings. They give you the wings and they do that weird thing where they flip the stool upside down. And like they rock their hips and it goes in a circle. Oh boy. Man, somebody has spent some QT. Somebody learned how to be a toxic male
Starting point is 00:07:25 In the early 2000s Nick we're going to get to know you A little bit better in a moment But first we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about Today such as Trump's most half-assed lie to date Pretty dedicated though Yeah we're going to talk about whether
Starting point is 00:07:40 He's good at being president How things are headed Joe Biden continued to be less than stellar at the whole thinking on his feet thing, but exceeded expectations when it came to bleeding in his eye. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about whether Trump will replace Mike Pence on the 2020 ticket. We're going to talk about this ketchup bottle in Canada, and speaking of Canadian art, and also Miles is going to do a little quiz for Nick and I about the Hallmark Christmas movie slate. But first, Nick, before we get to any of that,
Starting point is 00:08:20 we like to ask our guests, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I'm glad you asked. Oh, good. I just looked up my search history. Here's what I was last Googling. I Googled storyteller, writer, bus, tour, guide, IFC. Storyteller, bus? Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I'm trying to figure out what you were trying to figure out. Here's what I was trying to figure out. Is it a writing grant i saw a guy that um i recognized from a movie i had seen on ifc like 15 years ago he was a writer it was just him it was like a one-man show but it was um he was a bus tour guide in new york city like for a gray line and then that was the one-man tours he He was given this one-man show as a tour guide. And he had curly hair that was kind of long and a high-pitched voice. And I couldn't remember. Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Couldn't remember. So I Googled that. Still can't figure it out. Really? And so did you see him out at a restaurant or something? You were like, I'm going to pretend like I know this guy's name by Googling him real quick. I was actually behind him in line at TSA. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And I actually kind of got freaked out because they pulled his bag out. And I thought, because when the bag in front of you is in the machine, so is your bag. Right. It's Timothy Speed Levitch. Timothy Speed Levitch. And it was called The Cruise. The Cruise, yeah. From 1998.
Starting point is 00:09:54 It was good. In black and white? 1998, black and white, yeah. All I had to search was one man show bus tour guide. Well. Wait, what did you search again oh you know um i i i um i probably was googling bing um no i should write what you need into google rather than just bing bing me baby um no but um i what was in his bag is gonna reveal a lot about this guy it was just
Starting point is 00:10:24 a pound of cocaine. No, there was nothing there. But I was really afraid it was me because I definitely had weed. Oh, yeah. His bag got the... But it was his. Yeah, mine was fine. You're fine.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Got my weed through. Is that legal? Look, we don't talk about that on this show. Here's what I say. It's legal to take it through LAX. Everybody knows that. But then it's like, I didn't guess how much I needed right. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:47 I have too much left. Oh, my God. There's a quopper in there? A quarter pound? Whoopsie daisy. What is something you think is overrated? Food delivery apps. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Go on. They're too expensive. Yeah. There's a fee, and then there's also, you get a tip. And then also, after you've done picking everything, they're like, oh, this restaurant adds like a $12 one. Which is just, it adds a $12 fee. And then it's always after you've selected, and you're like, now it's coming. And then you hit it, and you're like, oh, it's like.
Starting point is 00:11:19 They test you. So much more money. And then it just always ends up being like $20 more. Also, it takes so long. Wow. It'll never be faster than you just going to get something. Also, when your food comes, have you ever gotten good French fries from a delivery? Depends if they respect the fries enough to cut the tops off the container to allow the heat to escape
Starting point is 00:11:40 and not just steam your French fries, thus creating a soggy fry. Are you finding that that's happening? If you order from Wingstop, they have ventilated styrofoam things so that does not contribute to steaming your fried food that is a great hack yeah some restaurants you can tell the chefs give a fuck because they will take traditional styrofoam containers and they'll clip the corners off or just jab the lids i know know certain Thai restaurants will do that. Shout out to Original Thai in North Hollywood. But yeah, I get it though too. It's funny, half the time when I, like if I order something online,
Starting point is 00:12:12 you're like, oh hell yeah, they got this thing. And then they hit you at the end. They're like, you ready to pay $8 on top of that thing? And I'm like, no. Like where were you before when I was selecting a restaurant? Yeah, exactly. Because it's like-
Starting point is 00:12:24 You've already sunk the time in. Well, they lure you in. It's like 99 cent delivery fee. And then there's like the service fee, which is like another 10% or 9% plus tax. Just some arbitrary number. And then if it's like DoorDash, you don't know if the tip actually goes to the fucking courier. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:40 Here's what I've been doing. I'll call the restaurant. I'll tell them what I want. I'm like, you deliver. No, I'll go get it. Pick up. Oh, it pick oh wow yeah yeah what are you living in 2005 yes i'm moving back to 2005 let's all go i'm watching black and white movies on tour guides yep and i'm picking up my own damn food yeah i feel like food delivery and driving like uber and stuff like that you because all of these new gig economy companies
Starting point is 00:13:06 just pay terribly, the whole scheme doesn't really work because there's too much interaction with the people there, or there's too much required from the people they're paying terribly. I think the only one that is like really works is Amazon because as long as the package gets there, you're fine.
Starting point is 00:13:29 But like, yeah, the food delivery stuff, they pay their employees like shit and then the food doesn't get there on time or it gets there half eaten or and then. Nobody eats mine. Oh, really? They respect me. Half eaten?
Starting point is 00:13:44 Has that? I've heard. That has really? They respect me. Yeah. Half eaten? Has that? I've heard. That has not happened to me. Fries. People will strike the fries. That's why sometimes. That's why I don't order fries. Like places will seal the bag to ensure no tomfoolery.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Right. But sometimes you get the loose bag. You might want to count your fries. Yeah. One time I'm pretty sure I had a bandaid in a milkshake I drank. It tasted like a blended up, like a bandaid was blended up in it I drank it anyway What?
Starting point is 00:14:09 That is a beautiful blender That is able to blend You know like You ever smell a bandaid like a new bandaid out the box You just know that You know the smell of a bandaid Sure sure the only thing that gets me hard Amtrak cars smell like
Starting point is 00:14:25 band-aids sure yeah great uh but yeah that was the flavor of my milkshake i could have been having a stroke light stroke oh good but yeah i was i remember telling her majesty my girlfriend partner i was like yo i don't taste this it tastes like a band-aid she's like i'm not fucking tasting right that's the worst it's like a band-aid i'm'm like, good point. But I spent $19 on this, so I'll have to drink it. The other thing that I hate is that you never, it's like a game of chicken to see if you're going to go get the food or if they're going to bring it up to your apartment. I just meet them outside. Yeah, me too. Because I don't.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I'm a good guy. Yeah, it's easier. I'm like, yo, go make these runs. I don't want you to get out your car. Yeah. And then if it's raining, I go out with the umbrella, you know. Wow. Wow. There have been times I've been so high i've fallen asleep i missed the delivery and i get charged so that's
Starting point is 00:15:13 that's you that's me being a piece of shit i've never gotten too high i forgot i was hungry yeah no i did it and i was like and i was like oh shit i think i got food coming and then my phone was blown up they're like i'm here i'm here, I'm here, I'm here. What'd they do with it? They can't leave it legally because something could happen to it. Like someone could fuck with your food if they leave it on the doorstep and you eat it, they're liable. So they just do not deliver it. And you eat that, you eat that char.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Oh, so they just eat it themselves. Well, whatever. Yeah. For them, they're like, oh, cool. So again, the incentive structure, they're incentivized to be like, I'm here. Whoops. You never showed up. And now they get a free meal.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Well, I aggressively did not answer for like five minutes. Right, right. What is something you think is underrated? Jersey Shore. Okay. The location or the show? No, the show. Go on.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Okay. Go off. I just think it's fantastic because we live in a world now where we get to look at what happened to them. Because they're still there. You see the whole life cycle. Yeah. You're watching the old version and you're like, I bet I know what's going to happen. That guy's going to jail.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Right. That guy's going to be getting in public fights with his girlfriend. She's getting divorced. They're getting divorced. This one's going to get fat. And it all happened and we saw all of it and Ronnie
Starting point is 00:16:30 Ronnie Magro which is the best last name in the history of just people who look like ultimate fighting champions
Starting point is 00:16:37 yeah and look Agro your last name is Magro oh really that's his real last name yeah that's why Ron
Starting point is 00:16:43 holy shit he like every episode he has new teeth yeah Oh, really? That's his real last name? Yeah. Holy shit. He, like every episode, he has new teeth. Yeah. Because he keeps getting his teeth punched out by his wife, girlfriend, baby mama. Is that what it is? Yes. He is like abused and then he puts everything online all the time. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:17:01 And then they have to go film the show and everyone's like, hey, Ron. Nice teeth. He's up with a new chomper. He's like, I don't want to talk about it. and everyone's like, hey, Ron. Nice teeth. He's up with a new chomper. He's like, I don't want to talk about it. And they're like, well, buddy. You made it new. You put it on your Instagram account. I mean, you know how we respect
Starting point is 00:17:15 the prophecies of the Jersey Shore. We have scripture on our wall. Sure. Yeah, I can see that. That's why I brought it up. The letter, yes, obviously. But yeah, there was something about that though too that was really great
Starting point is 00:17:26 because it was an authentic snapshot of this subculture that people were visually aware of but did not quite know about. That's why I love Geordie Shore, which was like the UK spinoff about Geordies in Newcastle. And I was like, yes, see, I like this. I like more scene-based reality shows rather than like the people's fucked up value-based reality shows.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Although, hey, check out 90 Day Fiancé. Great show. Yeah, it's funny that everyone, it's like the real world is like, let's put one of every type of person in a room. Right. And then Jersey Joe's like, let's put the same guy in the room.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Over and over and over. Check this out. And one of them is a legitimate, giant, top five DJs in the world. Yeah, in what sense? Like a billionaire. Like revenue. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I mean, yeah. He's like one of the top earning DJs in the world. In what sense? He may be a person of revenue. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's like one of the top earning DJs. And artistry.
Starting point is 00:18:10 In terms of artistry. And artistry! I mean, look, I look at Paulie D. Nobody presses a button like that guy. He knows how to twist a knob. Yeah. I don't think he's out here cutting and scratching. What is it? Doubt it. And we got DJ Daniel literally giving me side eye. Because DJ Daniel, you might not know
Starting point is 00:18:25 uh-oh is higher earning than uh no much less but uh certified hater oh yeah there it goes what if i really was just like bumping poly d cds in my car just mixes they're like yo you got the polyauly D Wet Republic mix from August 2018, dude? Fucking flame. Yeah, I did see your Spotify playlist, Top 5 DJs, and Pauly D was heavily featured. Pauly D, Paris Hilton. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know them from? Malcolm in the Middle.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Yeah. Oh, yes, a myth. Oh, God, no, not Danny Masterson. That I've reached. No, that guy's in jail. In Hollywood jail. Yeah, which is just out here in the street. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:09 He's at the places I go to now. Okay, a myth I got to debunk. Summer, we all thought it was June, July, and August, but it's not. It's July, August, and September. All right. It's hotter in September than it is June. And so I want to petition for it to be fully changed. Great.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Who do we petition? Earth? You know, you guys have a bigger following, so I'm going to have to just put it out to your listeners. If anyone is in charge of summer or seasonal setting. Now, is this L.A.-based? Yes. L.A.-specific? I think so. Yeah. Maybe. No, I this LA-based? LA-specific? I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Maybe. No, well, it was just in New York. I got back from New York yesterday, and it was still, I mean, it was super fucking hot there. Right. Well, June in LA is freezing. Well, yeah, because we have June gloom.
Starting point is 00:19:59 For LA. Like, LA people know June, June gloom. It's just never quite sunny immediately in the morning or whatever. And now, yeah, today, like this last week in LA, it's been like 80, it's like seven in the morning. Right. Yeah. And September has always been part of Indian summer.
Starting point is 00:20:15 And so I think just drop it. Just say summer. Also, that's probably problematic. I don't know why. Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, yeah. As I'm saying it, like that can't be. I'm not sure what that means. Is that canceled, that phrase? I mean, let's see.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Let's see where it actually came from. It can't be good. I don't know. The National Weather Service has a definition of it, too. Okay. Which doesn't necessarily mean. Oh. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Hey, if you're a weather person, let us know. Indian summer, canceled? Probably, right? Hot girl summer, let us know. Indian summer? Canceled? Probably. Hot girl summer? Canceled? No. No. Never.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Hot boy autumn? Hot September summer. What about thottom? I'm talking about. By the way, this is Christopher Masterson from Malcolm in the Middle. Right. Sure. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Thank God. We don't want you. I just didn't want you guys to. He's a good Scientologist. Yes, one of the best. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Starting point is 00:25:27 just listen to some audio from this meeting that the president had where he showed an outdated, altered map of Hurricane Dorian's path. We had actually our original chart was that it was going to be hitting Florida directly. Maybe I could just see that, Kevin.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Maybe I could just see that. It was going to be hitting directly and that directly maybe i could just see that kevin it was going to be hitting directly and that would have affected a lot of other states the map included what appeared to be a drawn-on black line around the southeast coast of alabama extending from the actual potential track area that was forecast you see it was going to hit not only florida but georgia it could have was going toward the g. That was what was originally projected. That was the helpful voice of a Reuters video algorithm telling us what was going on visually, helpfully. What a sad state of amazing. I mean, it is amazing, right? It's not, I mean, he's not really trying to get away with the lie, right? He doesn't think that's fooling anyone.
Starting point is 00:26:30 He clearly does. What was he hoping to gain out of extending this? That's a fucking receipt to him. Right. You know what I mean? Because everyone can, well, I, because first it was all verbal, verbal. No, that's not what I saw. This is what it originally was.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And he literally said, here's a fucking receipt i hand altered i right i think i think what he was trying to communicate uh if i can be the trump whisperer once again uh the nickname i'm known by amongst uh the internet i think he didn't get that that was going to be the entirety of the storm and that it would no longer be a hurricane or even a noteworthy storm after that cone. And so he was like, see, it was going in this direction and like kind of drew a little like extension up into Alabama as if to be like, so it's easy to see why I said Alabama would be my guess. Am I providing too much like reasonable? I get that what you're saying, you're trying to understand his logic,
Starting point is 00:27:32 but I guess it's completely, that point is moot when you actually look at what the map is and his inability to understand what that map is, where it's like at its furthest point, it will go there. Right. Not like, oh yeah, it was moving in that direction. Right. Versus like, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Like that's where it would conclude according to this prediction. Isn't it remarkable that every time Trump says something, there's like, there really is a way to look at it where you're like, I guess there's something there. Right. Right. If you're someone who is completely ignoring what an expert is telling you and you have an inability to to just be like, yeah, maybe I got that wrong. Right. I'll have to brush up on my math. I mean, it's obvious why he did it.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I guess the reason he is still looking at early proposals or early projections of where the storm might go that were now badly out of date. And he's doing this the day before the storm actually hits the Carolinas, like a completely different path. He's still looking at this old chart because it was something that he got wrong and he just can't stand being wrong. It's just wild though. How much flailing there's been with like the amount of tweeting about this that he's even doing. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Like Hogan Gidley, even like the, like people around him that are his mouthpieces still being like, well, you know, it looks like I get it. Like it could have been. So I think this is,
Starting point is 00:29:02 I think this is, who could care? I know. I think this is like a would anyone on earth care if he like got that wrong no well first of all it's a federal offense it's a federal offense to falsify a weather report right so there's that and it was it was bad it's just a thing that snowballs when it starts with him saying you know alabama's in the path of the storm everybody be careful in a tweet and then the national weather service having to come out and
Starting point is 00:29:31 correct him and that should be it it's like wow that guy's really loose with the information and like makes a lot of mistakes that should be it but he can't he can't do He can't do that. He has to come back and be like, well, you know, it didn't originally say Alabama and then prove it to all of us in this half-assed way that I feel like this is what if he was doing the helicopter screaming press conferences back at the beginning of his presidency when Sean Spicer did the his crowd was just as big as Obama's. Right. We would have seen him like pull up something where like the crowd was drawn in with a Sharpie. It was just all stick figures. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think someone on Twitter had that joke actually. Oh, did they?
Starting point is 00:30:17 They're like, oh, also check out this inauguration photo, stick figures. Or if he was Stalin, he wouldn't have photoshopped out the disappeared people. He would just have them scribbled over with a sharpie. Yeah, and just write dumb on their face or something. Well, it's great because in true Trump fashion,
Starting point is 00:30:32 he sucked all the air out of the conversations around gun control and election security and things like that because he's found another... I'm not bald. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I clearly have sharpie hair. I have regular hair. It's like, what? Yeah. But I mean... Mr. President, what about these background checks? I don't know. Writing on things with have sharpie hair i have regular hair it's like what yeah but i mean mr president what about these background checks i don't know writing on things with a sharpie like just a toddler who you like can't let have market markers right is his move like he's constantly writing on newspaper articles with sharpie and like sending it off to people so right and also that's like his whole like his brand is writing in sharpie too yes like you every time they catch photos of like his hand scrawled notes and shit it's always in sharpie
Starting point is 00:31:10 he's always writing on shit in sharpie i wonder if he like in that instance he really did hold the sharpie like a child like it was an ice pick no actual form and holding it just like yep and then we'll put the circle bigger there it really really also, and we're going to kind of get into this with Biden in a little bit, but it really suggests that we just have these doddering old people who are just surrounded by people who are just trying to keep them from being as hopeless and not there, not all there as they really are, like in public. Because like the fact that he got that past anyone means that like it hadn't been cleared by anybody. He just drew the Sharpie circle and then was like, hey, bring that over here. Well, he probably did. And they're like, well, you don't want to do that, Mr. President. He's like, bring me the original map.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Right. Because he's such bring me the original map right because he's he's such a rage machine whereas with biden his eyes bleeding in the middle of the conversation if your eye explodes you're like well had a good run thanks everyone yeah well i don't know if it necessarily but like it's just like these visuals that are happening on top of his just performances as a politician are just like getting shit wrong about his votes or experiences and things like that. And it's like, yeah. So he had this Joe Biden, along with the other 2020 Democratic candidates, appeared at a CNN town hall where they answer questions about how they how they plan to deal with climate which i do want to say was actually good was i didn't think it was going to be useful considering how
Starting point is 00:32:51 sometimes the debates had gone with like all this dumb pageantry up top right but the questions aside from the times when they had like these really lame things about like well what about light bulbs and like some candidates like shut up right the fact fucking light bulbs yeah the fact that the candidates are now identifying stupid questions is kind of interesting like that that's a new trend elizabeth warren and cory booker were both like what what the fuck are you talking like no that's a distress no fool yeah we're talking about fucking three industries causing all this shit we can you focus on the playoffs exactly. It is nice that when it's specifically focused on something, they can't change the subject as easily.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Right. They'll be like, hey, it's a great question about climate, but I do want to talk about how everyone's getting $1,000. $1,000. We love it. Yeah. And again, it was really nice to see that there was a lot of people were mostly on the same page.
Starting point is 00:33:46 It seemed like nuclear energy was the one thing that seemed to be a fork in the road for many people. Yeah. Because some people were like, well, we're going to need it for our energy mix. And some people were like, absolutely fucking not. What are you going to do with that waste? It's a complicated question. What are you going to do with all that waste? Right.
Starting point is 00:34:01 All that waste inside your case. Here's all the things I would do. Will I be able to? Absolutely not. Right. So this is our hopes and dreams. And then I can't wait to ask the Senate. Fittingly, because it was an actual useful display of policy,
Starting point is 00:34:18 it trended absolutely nowhere. I had no idea it was happening anywhere. Like I was just like, wait, is this the debate we've been talking about for months? No, this one doesn't matter at all. There'll be another one on LGBTQ issues, I think, too. It's amazing how little interest we have in people's
Starting point is 00:34:36 actual ideas without them fighting with each other. Right. Unless they're about to come to blows, I really couldn't care. People are like, well, did Kamala dunk on Biden? Who won? It's People were like, we'll do Kamala dunk on Biden. Yeah. Who won? It's like, no, mother. We're all fucking losing right now. Everybody.
Starting point is 00:34:50 The right is trying to start a thing that Bernie advocated population control as part of his plan, just because he talked about access to birth control for women. That's why he's always voted for guns. Population control control now it comes pop control but biden i think so i mean elizabeth warren continued her habit of kind of just giving ted talk-esque answers that it's like wait did did she know that question was coming or what because she's just like she's been nailing it in all these debates but biden continues to seem to be like something between a boxer who's like kind of out on his feet and you can tell doesn't totally know where he is and a kid who gets called on during class while he's paying attention to something
Starting point is 00:35:39 else and like doesn't even know what the question is. So this dude from the town hall asked a question about the fact that he's like, how are we supposed to trust you to end the problems with climate control when it's caused by 100 companies and you are having a fundraiser tomorrow that is being run by a huge energy executive? And he seemed completely unprepared for that question. Wait, me? He was like, well, first of all, he's not an energy executive and he seemed completely unprepared for that question wait he was like well first of all he's not an energy executive uh and then he's a really chill guy uh depends on what you mean by energy uh but just didn't and then he kind of implicitly blamed his staff which i i can see why like that that kind of gets like these people These politicians all are a result of a bunch of different people collaborating to put a message and an image out there, and he just doesn't seem to be well prepared. whether they're just too busy weekend at Bernie's and him through the campaign to catch small stuff like the fundraiser with an energy executive. Well, no, but I think it just shows you the reality. They're still old school.
Starting point is 00:36:54 They're like, fuck it. Yeah, we take this PAC money. We'll take this lobbying money. We'll fill the coffers up. But that's the whole point. I mean, that's who he is. He's the way it's always been done. And he's the guy who's going to get it done
Starting point is 00:37:04 because he's going to have the most money because he is. He's the way it's always been done, and he's the guy who's going to get it done because he's going to have the most money because he is going to take the money from everyone because he's not getting individual donors like Bernie and Warren. But he had the vibe of sort of like he was confused why that was a problem almost. Right. He's like, did that change too? Yeah, he's like, wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Do they know how this shit works? But I mean, he's like, first of all, he's not an energy executive because the guy is also a huge hedge fund like magnate. But like all of these people, all these billionaires are tied up together, man. Like that's why you can't be taking huge amounts of money from industry. Basically, you have to be, it's just going to be too hard for somebody like him to unwind himself from like all the different forces that are harming the country. Also, shout out to that one 19-year-old who asked him a question.
Starting point is 00:37:57 She was like, older generations have continued to fail our generation by repeatedly choosing money and power over our lives and futures. So how can we trust you to put us, the future, over the wants of large corporations and wealthy individuals? And his answer was like, because I've never done it. Right. Huh. Because I've never done that. I've never been president.
Starting point is 00:38:17 It's not like there was a bill called the bill to choose the fucking money over the future of our children. Right. Well, where's the vote for that? Right. I've never had nothing to do with that. I've never made that choice. I've only been a senator for decades.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Now, this is one of those things that could just be a silly thing that's like bad optics. But his body was leaking blood into his eyeball for the second half of the town hall. He looked over and it just seemed like there was a huge pool of blood in his eye. And I do think that's sort of relevant because he has had stress-related injuries from campaigns before. He, in 1988, was like the frontrunner basically for president. And then it was revealed that he had plagiarized a bunch of his speeches or his speechwriter had. Apparently, he's not good at, you know, making his staff work on doing good stuff. Or he, apparently, his staff has a history of failing him. But he then was found to have an aneurysm that if he hadn't been like had his campaign torpedoed, probably would have killed him in 1988. And he had to take seven months off from being a senator just to like rest up essentially.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Yeah. So he has like, you know. I mean, I don't know. Is old people bleeding from the eye stuff that scary? Because I feel like every old person in my family has had that at some point. And as a kid, I'd be like, are you dying? They're like, no, man. I was just puking too much because I drank too much last night.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Right. Yeah. I mean, that's probably what's going on here, too. Biden was clearly shit-faced at this town hall. But I don't know, man. You know, again, it's one of those things. You start to realize these quotes from Obama and these stories where he's like, you don't you start to realize like these quotes from obama and these stories where he's like you don't have to do this joe like where a lot of people i think
Starting point is 00:40:09 who really knew him were like you're not this isn't this isn't the best thing for you like you're also kind of and at the at the moment you're not right for this moment right and but he's very adamant and even obama summoning them being like, don't let him hurt himself. Right. Like, just shows you that, yeah, people learn. Yeah, don't let him hurt his legacy. Obama still has not endorsed him. No, he won't.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Can Obama run again? No. That's illegal now? You can't run even if some time has passed? I wish there was, like, college, like, you had some eligibility left. Right. You're like, I've got a season of eligibility left. Why can't you just take like eight years off and then run again?
Starting point is 00:40:49 What if he changed his name? Yes. Hussein Barack Obama. Hussein. Saddam Hussein Obama. Not going to do well. I don't think so. It's going to do a quick poll.
Starting point is 00:41:02 No, it's not going to do well. I'm thinking about voting for myself. Great. For a president. I'm in think so. It's going to do a quick poll. No, it's not going to do well. I'm thinking about voting for myself. Great. For a president. I mean, writing candidates, always an interesting strategy. I mean, you know, it's California. Who cares? Who cares?
Starting point is 00:41:13 Right. No, I mean, it literally has never gotten us in trouble in California or at any time I've ever voted anywhere. This year, people just do it ironically. It's the California goes red suddenly. Like, what happened? Everyone, ironically, the top vote getter was Nick Turner with two everyone else wrote themselves let's talk about a rumor that happens every time a incumbent is running for president the rumors start circulating that they might replace their vice president with
Starting point is 00:41:45 a new, with some fresh blood, fresh legs. And it's happening once again with Trump and Pence. There's a story that- Pence is going to replace Trump? That Pence is going to, well, that would make more sense. But this is actually from somebody who's been kind of an insider with the Pence campaign for the past couple of years and is about to publish a book on what that's like, which will be interesting. I'll be curious, like how he writes about like somebody who's just hiding in various offices for the entire presidency. Like Buster Bluth. Seen but never, what is it, seen, but never heard of.
Starting point is 00:42:25 What is it? Never seen or never heard of? Omarosa's still here? Just half his face in a doorway. Right. He's like, where's Mike? And he's like, oh, get out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:33 So anyways, the details are that the Trump and Pence camps have been feuding and just, like, things are getting chillier and chillier between, like, all their advisors and that Trump has been openly speculating about replacing Pence after the heavy November losses in the midterm for the GOP. He started talking about how he might have to replace Pence. Yeah, that'll help. And then on a recent golf vacation, he was, again,
Starting point is 00:42:58 openly talking about it, not realizing that everybody around him hates him and will immediately report back to whoever they want to. And then Javanka, Jared and Vanka are pushing this as a strategy for winning back suburban women because they're planning on replacing Pence with Nikki Haley. Yes. Would she? She would not. I don't think she would. They're probably like, who's a woman we know
Starting point is 00:43:27 she's already like literally eye-rolling she's like responding to trump tweets with like this is so unnecessary right roll because her way of possibly if she really does want to be president is she's got to act like no i always knew that motherfucker was full of shit right when's the last time this happened that they replaced i this isn't this isn't gonna happen this is just humiliation this is just him humiliating him which is also worth discussing because he loves to humiliate that you say he uh he's had to stay at his golf course in ireland even though it was three hours away yeah that is insane three hours away working for trump is just like being on rush week for a sorority for like a really mean sorority hey you're going to new york you should stay at my place in baltimore exactly exactly oh fdr he had three vice presidents oh did he yeah baller
Starting point is 00:44:23 i mean we fly high. Well, he also had more terms. Yeah. He, what, had a fourth? He was like, well, you can't have the same VP that many years in a row, guys. I mean, that would lead to corruption. Is this a monarchy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Yeah. So it probably won't happen. And I'm excited to read the Pence book to just hear how he's dealing with this humiliation. Trump's vice president could be Bernie Sanders and it wouldn't move the needle for anyone. His vice president could be Oprah. He should just put Don Jr. as vice president and be done with it.
Starting point is 00:44:58 It should be Ivana. Ivanka. Ivanka? You know, Ivana's his ex-wife. Ivanka. Oh, yeah. Ivana would be good, too. Just, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:06 I'm the only one who could talk to Donald. Yeah, oh, boy. I don't know if you'd be interested in that, though. But I think, yeah, the whole, like, transparently insecure strategy of, like, okay, we lost suburban women. Because that, like, tour that they're putting together with, like, a who's who of, like, conservative women to try and be like, with like a who's who of like conservative women to try and be like, hey, we want to talk to the people we lost in the suburbs with these people who are just going to repeat
Starting point is 00:45:28 these boilerplate offensive talking points to you. Maybe it'll help, but. I just thought of a joke I should have made earlier and you guys want to. Yeah. So speaking of Andrew Yang, you know, I said. Go on. I didn't see the debate,
Starting point is 00:45:43 but I'm assuming when they asked him, like, what's he going to do to curb the rise in hurricanes, he's going to be like, I'm going to give each hurricane a thousand dollars. Damn. Okay, that would have been good earlier. Terrible now. Thank you so much. No, give him a bomb for that one.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yes. Let the dust settle on that. Wow. So I didn't even know about it. Are they organizing a tour of various officials? Yeah, like Kellyanne Conaway will go out there, Katrina Pearson, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Just all the satellite women orbiting that White House.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Right. Who they can get. I'm sure Diamond and Silk will probably go out there. I don't know, but who knows. The thing you're selling is your biggest liability. Right. Well, hey, I mean, that's why he's, you know, maybe he has a trick up his sleeve.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Maybe he doesn't. Right. We'll see. All right. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

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 it's time for miles to quiz us on some upcoming hallmark christmas movies do first of all let me uh uh posit this question it's about time how many of us enjoy a terrible christmas movie i'm not i'm not with you like you i'm trash human. I'm also not with you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:06 My blood type is terrible Christmas movies. Okay. Because there's no better way to just ignore your annihilation fantasies you have than to sit on a couch and watch these meaningless films where a person from a big city has to move to a small town to figure out the meaning of Christmas. Right. It's typically the construction. Now the reason I asked is because to me these films are so formulaic that at times from the title alone you can begin to figure out what the
Starting point is 00:51:31 plot of the film is. So I just so Hallmark just announced their full list of holiday movies and the titles with some synopses and I just wanted to see if you know for some media savvy individuals like yourself. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:46 I like garbage media and garbage movies. Right. So I think, and just knowing how these films are developed, how the titles all have to be kind of witty. This is the deal where it's 31 Christmas movies in the days of September or December or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Where they do, yeah, they would just pack it every day basically. I think it's the, I think, October 25th? It starts October 25th. There's 40 films they have, first of all. So here we go. I just want to put this title up to you. This one is called A Christmas Scavenger Hunt.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Okay. Now you're saying that it's usually about a city girl who has to go back to the country. Not always, but it's always some very, very generic rom-com construction. Yeah. I'm assuming this is sort of a gift to the magi kind of deal. Okay. Where they've sent each other out on these scavenger hunts and they get the thing, but they had to sell their other thing that matched with it to get the other present for that
Starting point is 00:52:44 one. Okay. Does everyone know what gift to the other present for that one. Okay. Does everyone know what Gift of the Magi is? No. Okay. Is that like the present? Yeah. It's like one of these tropes.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I mean, it's a story, but now it's a trope where let's say the guy gets a haircut for the girl or gets a hairbrush for the girl. And then the girl wants to buy something for the girl or gets it gets a hairbrush for the girl um uh and then the girl wants to buy something for the guy and so she like cuts off her hair to sell her hair to uh get get money for the guy's watch but then the guy had to cut off his hand right you know to get money for the hair brush oh wow so they give it to him they can't use them anymore yeah she's like they learn a lesson about love yeah yeah so i'm guessing this'm guessing this guy gets like a star for that. I'm sorry. I'm just going to cut you off and I'm just going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Oh, it's not it. Jack, just go for it. Okay. Scavenger hunt. There's a Christmas scavenger hunt that happens in the city or the country. In the city or the country. And a couple is competing against each other or a man and a woman are competing against each other and eventually fall in love. Nearly fucking spot on.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Wow. When Belinda heads back to her hometown for the holidays, things get complicated when she's forced to team up with her ex Dustin at the town's annual Christmas scavenger hunt. Yeah, the town's. Okay, how about this? Yours is, by the way, just way too meaningful. See, this is a Hallmark executive. If I could do it again, I would have said it's just a scavenger hunt that ends with her finding a diamond ring. There you go.
Starting point is 00:54:20 How about this one? A Christmas duet. Okay. The titles give you everything. How about this one? A Christmas Duet. Okay. Typically, the titles give you everything. Yeah, okay. So I want to go with the competition aspect. They're both auditioning for the same chair, cello or something. Okay, interesting.
Starting point is 00:54:37 So in the end, one of them gets it, but then they decide to do a duet instead. Yeah, and I'm going to go with the girl is coming from the city. She's a musician. She's moved away to apply her musical trade in the city. She's going back home. Her ex or high school boyfriend
Starting point is 00:54:55 is also there and they end up duet, like playing music together and falling in love. Wow. Okay, so it's about a well-loved music duo, Avery and Jesse.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Famous for their duet, Wouldn't Be Christmas. They haven't played together in years and have since gone their separate ways. Avery has given up music and opened up a beautiful, simple, yet idyllic lodge in snowy Vermont. While Jesse still tours and he's struggling to find the same kind of success
Starting point is 00:55:23 they had as a duo. When fate brings them together. Can they find happiness and success once more? I bet that a bucolic rural setting is better for the soul than his touring and worldly ways, if I had to guess. Okay. One last one, because this is just so absurd. This is called Picture a Perfect Christmas.
Starting point is 00:55:42 This is so zany though. You're probably not going to get it, but I just like that they think this is a thing that would be a good Christmas film. So a Christmas family picture? Something? Something? I'll give you a hint. It's about a photographer.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Okay. Now, think of a photographer that really has nothing to do with Christmas. Okay. Don't be obscene. Like a magazine photographer. I'm guessing it's a school with Christmas. Okay. Don't be obscene. Like a magazine photographer. I'm guessing it's a school portrait photographer. Okay. And he takes pictures of different schools,
Starting point is 00:56:14 and then when they get... He takes pictures of schools? You mean he's a creepy guy outside of a school being like, all right. He's not employed by a company. Luther Wilson Elementary. Click. Got it. So he takes portraits by a company. Luther Wilson Elementary. Click. Got it.
Starting point is 00:56:26 So he takes portraits of all the kids at different schools. Okay. And then he accidentally switches, he accidentally sends the wrong prints
Starting point is 00:56:34 to the wrong family. That was really a Christmas movie. On Christmas. No, it's just Christmas is like a background. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Because it's just a commentary on how long it takes to get the pictures. Interesting. Because they took the pictures nine months earlier. He's a, okay. Can I try one more?
Starting point is 00:56:51 Sure. Yeah. A dating profile picture taker. No, it's shit. Look how angry he is. Damn you Hallmark. The movie centers around an extreme sports photographer who returns home for the holiday
Starting point is 00:57:04 to look after her grandmother and ends up lending a helping hand to a neighbor who needs assistance watching his nephew. What does that have to do with extreme sports? Oh, they're going to fall in love. There's probably an opening. Yeah, right? Exactly. She's probably picked up a few tricks of the trade from her extreme sports people.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And I bet the kid is having trouble with some manner of extreme sports or just like building up the courage to do something. And in helping the nephew, her and the uncle fall in love. Or it's like, it's just a picture. You know what I mean? Don't get intimidated by the picture. It's just a moment. I watched one of these yesterday on the plane.
Starting point is 00:57:38 A Christmas film? No, but the exact same structure like a Hallmark film. It's called Falling in Love, Two Ends. Christina Milian lives the corporate rat race. I think she said hamster wheel in the movie 48 times. And then she enters a contest to win an inn in New Zealand by writing an essay. She wins it. And then throughout the movie-
Starting point is 00:58:03 Wait, she wins it? Like she becomes a proprietor of this property? Yes, so she moves zealand and then to get this idea like but it's a mess and she's gonna clean it up money trap and people keep people keep saying like about how like this um this guy was running this scam right you know uh the contest was a scam and then at the end there's no scam they never bring up the fact that anyone said it might be a scam. And then it just works out perfectly. And she has impeccable managerial skills. Impeccable. I love it.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Speaking of scams, I have a friend who's visiting in town and they got a place through one of the, I think, Airbnb or not Airbnb, the other one. VRBO. VRBO. And it's just a complete scam. They took really nice pictures, paid a lot of money, and then the place is a complete dump. Holy shit. And the person emailed them the next day and was like,
Starting point is 00:58:55 I'm going to tell everybody that you threw a huge party and destroyed the place if you try and get your money back. And they're like, what the fuck? You literally sent me evidence of your plot. Wait, they sent, I mean, what about the screenshot of that message? Can't they send that to VRBO? They didn't say it like, I'm going to tell people that. They said, you threw a huge party last night and ruined the place.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I don't want to tell people. Yeah, yeah. That sort of thing. So anyways. Wow. Holy shit. Yeah. Have friends who live where you're going
Starting point is 00:59:25 check out the place if possible yep and just don't don't contribute to housing crisis yes but how many times can they get away with that like VRBO gets a complaint every time someone stays there yeah I mean a lot of these are not staffed as well as you would think I had to I had a dispute with one of those companies shit shit took forever. Right. And there was shit coming out the toilets. And they're like, you want your money back?
Starting point is 00:59:51 I'm like, yeah, there's raw sewage on my feet. Shit's supposed to go in the toilet. Yeah, exactly. Not come out the bottom of the seams because they sped up their renovations too much. I've seen it a hundred times. I watch a lot of house flipping shows. Let's talk about art.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Bad Boys for Life, the new trailer, hit a couple days ago. And it looks incoherent, but a lot of fun. I love the first one. Me too. I watched the second one off the strength of the first one. Now they're testing me. The fucking trailer. I mean, I get it.
Starting point is 01:00:22 They do the same Michael Bay bay exiting the car shot very famous that you're like oh yeah i know this this is this is creating some sense memories but then yeah first of all uh martin lawrence looked like he got stung by a bunch of bees i hope he's okay will smith it's unfair because will smith is like a fucking non-aging time traveler right and by comparison i was like damn martin but then i'm like no that's not fair because will is just some other dude right yeah there was so much fucking action in it i could not understand what the plot was and i don't mind that because but but my comparison was like a fast and furious trailer i have an idea of what's happening like the stakes are sort of established this was sort of like we're back and it And it's like, I got to retire.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Fucking, but you know, who knows? I'm a sucker for this too. I have one thing to say to the filmmakers. Fuck you. I don't,
Starting point is 01:01:16 okay, I don't want to see a third of anything. I don't want to see a single third of anything. It's all terrible. There's no reason this movie's happening.
Starting point is 01:01:24 They did not have a good idea. 100% had a deal before they had it. Have you seen Godfather 3? I'm sorry. Have you seen Rocky 3? Jaws 3. This is a pile of trash. 100%. I hope
Starting point is 01:01:40 it makes no money and everyone involved gets fired and no longer can work in Hollywood again. There are a lot of great ideas out there. This is not one of them. Wow. This is just went on a strafing run in that A-10 Warthog.
Starting point is 01:01:56 This is not directed by Michael Bay, by the way. I mean... It should have to be directed by the screenwriter just so he could see what he did. Fuck you. Look at what you did. Quick synopsis is old school cops team up to take down the vicious leader of a Miami drug cartel.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Newly created elite team Ammo of the Miami Police Department, along with Mike and Marcus, go up against the ruthless Armando Armas. So they put together an elite team full of 50-somethings at the station. No, what it is is it's two old dogs, and they're seeing the new generation come in, which is this team Ammo, and they have to reassert that it's like, we may be old, but we get shit done. Yeah. Mike Lowry.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Mike Lowry. What? You're dating my daughter? That was the last one there's a code come on man come on get your storyline straight sorry that was
Starting point is 01:02:50 they waited till the third one to do that in the lethal weapons series so I got confused anyways they they make prodigious use of the
Starting point is 01:02:58 we ain't going nowhere we ain't going nowhere that song in the trailer so it's worth watching just for that although they do a bad job of chopping it up it's really bad Gone with nowhere. We ain't going nowhere. So it's worth watching just for that.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Although they do a bad job of chopping it up. It's really bad. They could have just played that song just for nostalgia. And I'm like, oh, okay. But no, they dramatized it. And it's not good. Did a mashup with the bad boys by Circle something. Perfect Circle. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:31 Group. Me knock, me me not me no ready police man give me no break hey hey bad boys uh what are the lyrics to that inner circle bad boys what you're gonna do? What you gonna do? I didn't realize they're the ones who did. Inner Circle, 300,000. I didn't know the same people who did, Girl, I'm gonna make you sweat. You didn't?
Starting point is 01:03:53 No. What? Because in my mind, that was a whole other thing. That's them? Yeah, they had a couple hits right there. The Bad Boys song, 100% I assumed that was a one-hit one. Like an algorithm made that. I was like, and then, you know, they maybe did that and Don't Let the Dogs Out or whatever.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Yeah. Who let the dogs out? Don't let the dogs out. Don't let the dogs out again. I know you let the dogs out. That's a good way for us to avoid copyright law. Flip the dogs off. That's a good way for us to avoid copyright law.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Let's talk about Canadian ketchup. Heinz has put out a limited edition series of bottles with the label on the front of the bottle turned at a 45 degree angle. For optimal pouring. For optimal pouring. At the angle it's more this isn't really a story because apparently this is just a publicity stunt and it's only limited to very small numbers in toronto canada so shout out to y'all out there go get your bottle uh but my whole thing with glass ketchup bottles it peaked when i was a kid when you said you gotta tap the 57 on the bottle and that actually works yeah when it does but at the
Starting point is 01:05:05 same time when the squeezable shit came out the game was over now i get the whole thing about one-use plastics single-use plastics and shit like that not great but i have a terrible record with glass bottle ketchup because it's usually a fucking deluge right of ketchup because like by the time that air bubble comes in it's just displaced by like and i'm like okay i'm i've got spacho on my burger um they're all am i the only one who feels strongly about this no no i'm 100 we solved this problem yes and we went plastic uh you can do new types of plastics that aren't plastic now right yeah whatever you can figure it out i don't know what you do make a wooden bottle do it fuck it yeah we already do it but heinz is all about nostalgia you know that 57 is the variety of pickles they had it doesn't make any sense it's
Starting point is 01:05:54 just something that happened in the past yes meant they have 57 different varieties of pickles that's where wow go on sir historian of heinzz. So anyway, it's just another one of their things like, hey, I know it's worse, but we're used to it. We used to do it. Here's now. We're selling your childhood back to you just like McDonald's and Coca-Cola. Right. Wow. And they tap into the – like their whole campaign with the glass bottles is tapping into the illogical part of your brain that is like, well, this is too easy to get.
Starting point is 01:06:27 The harder to get thing is the better one. Right. Like, which I, my brain does do that. Like something about a glass bottle that is harder to get ketchup out of seems like it should taste better to me, but it's dumb. Like, that's not a good thought. I don't, I don't want to embrace that. Wow. And it's just at restaurants, right?
Starting point is 01:06:46 You're not tapping ketchup bottles at your house. No. At my house, I have squeezable. Yeah. Always. Everyone would always choose squeezable, top on the bottom. Exactly. Flip it upside down.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Smack it up, flip it, rub it down. And then when you squeeze it up. The one thing, though, is when the squeeze bottle first came out, that regulator cap, if you didn't know how to finesse that first one, your first squeeze would also be a deluge. Yeah. But then you learn the technique. They still haven't really figured out mustard. It's still water.
Starting point is 01:07:13 It's still water. You got to shake that shit up, man. Yeah. Yeah. It's too much. I forget. Yeah. Well, you know.
Starting point is 01:07:19 We're here to remind you, y'all. If you're listening right now, please shake your mustard next time you use it. Because that bad boy's for life. to remind you y'all if you're listening right now please shake your mustard next time you use it because that bad boys for life uh and there's a new horse has entered the race in the world of prestige replacement meat fake meat vegan meat plant-based proteins plant-based proteins is is what they're officially called and uh everything looks. It bleeds like a burger. It apparently tastes great. Grills well according to the ads.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Kellogg. Kellogg owns it. Because they own Morningstar Foods, which makes a lot of plant-based food, or I think that's what they do. Do we know who owns Beyond and Impossible? I think they're independent. I think those are independent. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Wow. I think some of them are. One of them is on the stock market and doing one of them is like on the stock market and doing really beyond is on the stock market uh but yeah kellogg makes sense that kellogg owns it because the dude who founded kellogg whatever his name clark i think clark kellogg uh kelz yeah he was a vegetarian because he thought meat would make you masturbate masturbate constantly oh is that what it was too oh everything was about was about masturbation. Everything was masturbating with him? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:25 I mean, he was just a chronic masturbator who was looking for a way to stop himself from masturbating. He was like, as we know, our children will never make it in this world if we don't stop them from masturbating. And it's like, well, my kid jerks off once a day, man. How many people looked around the room the first time he said that shit out loud? They're like, what the fuck is this dude talking about? You know how you're not able to get a single thing done in your day because of masturbating.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Yeah. I just listened to like eight episodes about this guy on Business Wars. Oh, really? Yeah. They did the Serial Wars and they never mentioned masturbation once. That's a nice show. Oh, yeah. Your family could listen to it, because now I'm blown away.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Because I do know he was a doctor, and then he had an employee named Post, who stole... Malone. Well, yes, his last name. Clark Kellogg. Oh, Post Cereal. Post Cereal. He stole his recipe for shredded wheat, and then started Post. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:21 And then his brother, Kellogg's's brother had to convince him to go into the cereal business as well to get the money because kellogg was like i'm a doctor and i want people to be healthy and that's why i'm doing this and then they added sugar to it and they ruined everyone's life yeah well yeah look they have a new we didn't even say the name yet of this new meat right because i mean that's the thing that will make you actually. You got to know where it's coming from. Ill. It's called Incogmeto. Incog.
Starting point is 01:09:49 M-E-A-T-O. Meto. Incognito. I refuse to have this product based off the pun name alone. That sucks. That's not a good. That's a fun joke in the room. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Let's call it Incognito. Ha ha ha ha. That's a good tweet. Right. I wonder if they were just scrambling, right? Because again, I'm also surprised like if Kellogg, I don't know how much of his ethos is really in that boardroom, but like if he was a vegetarian, you'd think when they saw Beyond and Impossible getting in the game that they're like, oh, hold on.
Starting point is 01:10:17 Let's show them how we really do it. Because I'm sure they have a ton of R&D money. Right. But the fact that this like, I wonder what happened to that boardroom. They're like, well, there's Beyond and there's something that's impossible maybe we need something cute right and incognito wins out you know what they should say bad boy burger oh yeah tie in with the movie right there's something bad boy three so it's like the third meat right in the market beyond and now the third yeah right what's some other one that could have been unbebeefable
Starting point is 01:10:46 no I think you nailed it unbebeefable man this is unbebeefable oh mama this is unbebeefable I can't believe it's not meat I mean just buy it I can't believe it's not butter and I mean that was iconic
Starting point is 01:11:02 yeah they just make it more like 2020. This ain't meat? Holy shit, this is okay. Holy shit, this is actually edible. Meat's better, but this is pretty good. Pretty good. Well, I wish them a lot of luck and I hope that they fail
Starting point is 01:11:23 and only the independent companies only ever do well. Yeah. Yeah. Well, hey, y'all. Check out your incognito. This is the Dasani of fake meat, of plant-based meat products. It's funny because the logo is like, if you really look closely, it's like a cow with a monocle and a mustache on. And then the chicken one is like a rooster with the same, like a bowler hat.
Starting point is 01:11:44 They need a little bubble that just says, thanks for not killing me. Well, it's weird because it's the Monopoly man, basically. Right. Of animals. Which is a weird message. They're like, undercover, y'all, because we're the fucking destroyer. But we're coming in incognito. If we stop killing our animals, we can let them get educations and go into careers in banking, I think is what that logo says to me.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Okay. Nick, it's been a pleasure having you. Me? You. Wow. You, sir. Thank you. Yes.
Starting point is 01:12:15 It's been a pleasure being here. Where can people find you, listen to you, follow you? Well, I, along with past guest Nicholas Vatterot. Yes. The third. Last time I asked. Yes. We have a new time I asked. Yes. We have a new podcast out.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Say what? You'll never guess. I know that's the first time you're hearing about it. It's called Get Rich, Nick. And every week we try a different way to make money. Quickly. Quickly. Quickly.
Starting point is 01:12:40 And I think. This week is horse racing. Yeah. And we take CJ... Or CJ Sullivan takes us to the track. And we win, lose, or break even. I find that I have the same experience when I go to the track. This is a relatable podcast.
Starting point is 01:13:00 That's why I was asking how the tracks are. You thought I was asking some business-y shit. The tracks are bad. They closed because all the horses horses died and then they closed early for the season what was going on with that well they died i think it's um there's no there was like a lot of speculation but there's no like they didn't do a report and be like this is the reason it's jeff why should they yeah jeff just like has syringes in his hand. Sorry. It was me. I'm stabby. No, I think they were... For some reason, they were saying the track, the dirt is a lot harder there than in most tracks at Santa Anita.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Which sounds like some bullshit to me. Oh, yeah. The dirt's too hard. Killed the horses. Yeah. But it's not like... They killed like 30 horses this year, which is the same they killed the year before, but they just did it a lot faster this year, and so they closed down early. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Anyway, next week's Task Rabbit. Yeah. That's a lot more fun, although we don't dwell on that in the horse racing episode. It is brought up, and we get to the bottom of it, and we solve it, but we also have a lot of fun. And we bring them to justice, but that's just in the first act. Yeah. Then we have fun at the track. And we bring them to justice, but that's just in the first act. Yeah. Then we have fun at the track.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Yeah. How'd you guys do? Oh, well, I guess you'll have to listen to find out. I'll have to listen to find out. I mean, one of us, out of the three of us, including CJ, one of us wins hundreds of dollars. Damn. And another one of us. I meant on TaskRabbit. How much money you win on TaskRabbit?
Starting point is 01:14:21 Oh, that one? Oh, well, we- Tune in. Yeah, we do a couple. We actually, I will say TaskRabbit, we earn a lot more than we do at other ones in the first grouping. Interesting. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Of apps. Yeah. Shit. TaskRabbit's legit. Have you ever used a TaskRabbit? Yeah, from time to time. Sometimes I've had good TaskRabbits. Other times I've had people who were more of a burden.
Starting point is 01:14:43 Right. Who were like, hey, can you help me move this stuff and they're like dude i don't really i'm not trying to move that and you're like i'm paying you that's insane what right also like my truck dude i'm hearing a civic no so like it's gonna have to fit in there i'm like dude what the you said you had a truck absolutely okay task rabbit you know what experience take off man do you ever have one guy that was like okay well that's it huh and you're like yeah yep that's it i'm like like, cool, cool, cool. So what's on TV?
Starting point is 01:15:07 Yeah, you want to chill or whatever? You got me for the next hour. Yeah, well, should we order a pizza? No. I think that was a pot dealer. Yeah. Is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:18 I just pulled this up. Jono Zalay, four days ago. Again, I famously like almost no tweets. So this is a very small list of tweets I've liked. He said, beware anyone who poses as a sad person asking for pictures of your dog is stealing your dog's image and cataloging it for dog's database in Russia. So that's important and I think it needs to be out there. Bad Boys for Life.
Starting point is 01:15:45 Hell yeah. Bad Boys for Life. Hashtag Bad Boys for Life. Miles, where can people find you? Twitter, Instagram at milesofgray, M-I-L-E-S-O-F-G-R-A-Y. I see some of y'all

At Lenarcus Aldridge tweeted, white people love saying, oh, that was terrible after throwing a Frisbee. That's so true. And also Russell Goldman tweeted, remake the social network, but about the Jeremy Renner app. The rise and fall, guys.
