Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused, stories that shame and blame
Starting point is 00:03:44 and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We The In-House is the podcast that's changing that. I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host, and for years I've created a space where the un-housed and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed Un-Houced parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizes veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence.

Listen to Wey and House on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place.
Starting point is 00:04:51 As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store. I had to go down Jefferson Davis. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies.
Starting point is 00:05:22 We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a fire that is really catching. You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Like everyone.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Your co-worker, who, quote unquote, doesn't read, is reading romance. Your mom, book talk, the entire internet. I'm Sanjana Basker. I'm Tyler McCall. And this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adeption. the drama, the discourse, and what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess. We're going to Wuthering Heights, which, for the record, is not a romance novel.
Starting point is 00:06:15 And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance, age gaps, certain Russian hockey players. And sentient objects, in love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 444, episode four. Too many fours. You ask me.
Starting point is 00:06:50 This hasn't happened and won't happen again. For 3,000 years. Three thousand years. Stay tuned. Not 4,000? You guys didn't go for the four? I mean, come on. All right, take it from the top.
Starting point is 00:07:02 4,44. Of Dirty Ali Zikos! It's a production of IHartRadio's a podcast where you take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness through the day's news. We also have a new non-news history version of the Daily Zikeis dropping each Monday morning where we do a deep dive into the Zikeyes through the lens of a different icon. We've recently done Indiana Jones. Ever heard of him? I have. Probably could because he's an icon.
Starting point is 00:07:31 We're about to do Uncle Sam for the holiday. Yeah. I teased that one yesterday. Yeah, yeah. You know, you learned some stuff. You learned some things. You learned some thing or two about... About this chop dunk. Yeah. And then pretty soon, Bjork! Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Those episodes drop on Monday. They have icon in the title and a different logo. But right here where we are, it is Thursday, June 25th, 2026. June 25th, that means happy birthday to my beloved. Does that mean they're alive still, beloved? Yeah. they're dead. No, beloved is fine. Okay, then good.
Starting point is 00:08:06 My beloved, her majesty. Sometimes I say things like old terms and then like, that means someone's dead. That means someone passed away. Anyway. Departed. I love my live woman wife. What the fuck? I love you on live girl.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Brian, can we get a wellness check on her majesty? As Jeff Bezos said, wasn't that I said, I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I do think Beloved is popular on Tombstones. I think that's what you're getting. Just in your defense.
Starting point is 00:08:34 It's a word they use. Shout out to my, my wife. There you go. Shout to her majesty. How about this? Shout out to her majesty on her birthday today.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I love you. My darling. All the greats born around this time. Yeah. So that makes it the 25th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:51 The 25th. It's also, nephew 23rd. It's my wife. It's Bordain. Day, too. Is it Tony Bordain's birthday, too? It must be if it's Bordain's
Starting point is 00:09:01 Bordain Day. Yep. Hey, it's Borday. Whoa. Her majesty and Bourdain got the same birthday. It's also Bourdain Day. In addition to Global Beatles Day, oh, should we do that icons episode? The internet is not ready. A lot of upset boomers are going to be in our Instagram comment. Have you noticed this that if you say anything about the Beatles or like an elderly boomer musician, like it's just... Instant traction. I got a bad way. I thought you were talking about actual Beatles.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I was like, interesting. Are they icons? I was trying to. I was like, I guess they're popular. No, I definitely know the skeletons. I guess because you said Beatles and not the Beatles. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You said Beatles Day, not the Beatles Day.
Starting point is 00:09:43 It fucked me up. And that's the branding. And that's the branding. That's what they have it here. It's global, it's Global Beatles Day. That seems off. Yeah. Shouldn't have been that.
Starting point is 00:09:53 It's also goat cheat. Goats. This is goats. It's just Global Beatles Day. It's Goats' Cheese Day. Not goat cheese. No, it's the cheese that goats eat. And they prefer.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the cheese they prefer. It's a goat cheese. Can I get some goats cheese? Nine out of ten goats of Greek. And also National Catfish Day. Check it out. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Yeah. Interesting mix. Didn't go international on that one, huh? No, no, no. They couldn't get other countries on board. We went solo. You know, we're starting to go solo on a lot of stuff. And Catfish Day is the last.
Starting point is 00:10:27 I have a feeling it's probably like any, like when it's national, it's just that basic, like, industry. lobby. Sure. Just like, we got to make this a day to then get... And they haven't gotten
Starting point is 00:10:37 the UN on board yet. The EU and the UN are not on board. They're not selling this stuff in the EU. I feel like the only other country you could get on board with a catfish day would be Australia, might. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Why? Doing some noodling. Oh, yeah. The thing I associate catfish with is going fishing by holding a chunk of meat in your hand and then your arm get swallowed by a catfish. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:01 And then you, like, bend it through the game. gills and like pick it up out of the water and it's eight feet tall. Those are very popular videos on Reddit. It's called noodling. Yeah. And I feel like there was a whole show. Bogans would love it.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Hillbilly hand fishing. Oh, for real? I'm interested. It was just like, so many like, oh yeah, it's going to be right here. And like, you're like, this guy's just like punching the mud. Right. And then he comes out with like a fucking 50 foot. You're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:11:28 So it's really shallow water, basically? I guess where they- hanging in the muck, like in the muck. Like so you can just really just rip them out by hand. So anyway. Shout to Nassau. Things I'll probably not be able to ever do, you know. Yeah.

First, we're going to tell the listeners, a couple of things we're talking about today. We're going to check in with the USA 250 show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Because it's the big thing. It's like the Super Bowl. It's the S&L 50 of the right. Exactly. With none of the stars. That's right. Wait a second. We got an update.
Starting point is 00:16:54 We have an update. I got cocky. I got cocky. There is a headliner. Yeah. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the military bringing back the absurd
Starting point is 00:17:05 flu shot requirement. We will talk about J.D. Vance being very good at interacting in a natural and loving way with his pregnant wife. And we'll talk about everybody's favorite new conspiracy theory. The Wright doesn't
Starting point is 00:17:21 believe in Helen Keller. Huh. that she existed? Yeah, kind of like Santa Claus, you know, they're just like, I don't believe in her. She's like a left wing thing or like, to imagine someone who has faced so much adversity is a leftist. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Yeah, we'll get into it. It's actually there's a lot of history behind people being like, nah, I don't buy it. She can see. Straight up. I like the idea of a single issue voter, and that's their issue that Ellen Kellerman didn't exist. I don't care about anything else. Where are you at on Helen Keller, man? You want my vote?
Starting point is 00:17:57 That's all I care. What do you mean? Where am I at on Helen Keller? She's fake. You know that, right? Sure, man. All right. I'll vote for you.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I'm a Democrat, and actually, we're still looking into that. So we're still trying to figure out the truth. Would you like us better? It's a great question. The Democrat would be like, would you like us better if we said Helen Keller? We'll go there. We'll throw her under the butts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Oh. yeah, so if you've, yeah, yeah, for sure, dude, fake ass fucker. That motherfucker was fake ass, dude. All of that, plenty more, but first, Andrew. Death and blind, oh, okay. And she wrote how many books? Dude, I can't even write a 10-page paper without a... GPP, bro.
Starting point is 00:18:41 GPP. Andrew, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I always, I'm on the show talking about travel, and I'm doing another trip coming up. I'm going to Iceland for the total solar eclipse, speaking of Bjork. Burek. Oh my God. Yeah. When the last total solar eclipse happened, whatever, three or four years ago, it was like an Oregon, I think.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Or Indiana. Yeah, it was like a path. Yeah, it was a path. Right, right, right. Anyway, I feel like Oregon was like the one in 2017. Maybe that's what it was. In any case, the last two, the last one specifically, I just saw so many friends who went and I felt like I missed out so hard.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Me too. And I just straight up put it in my calendar when the next one was and where. And it turns out it's this year in August in Iceland and Spain. August 26? Yeah, yeah, this year. Yeah. I'm picking Spain. I'm going to pick Iceland over Spain in August, just because of the heat.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Yeah. And so I was just like, at the beginning of this year, I looked at my calendar for the year randomly, and I just saw that. And I was like, oh, my God, I got to do this. So I booked my trip, and I'm going on August 12th. I do unfortunately land the morning of the eclipse. It's like at 5 p.m. It's just the timing.
Starting point is 00:19:41 I'm landing as the eclipse. No, no, no. The flight was just truly three times more expensive to land any other day. So I was like, I'll just do this. So, right. But I land at 10, the eclipse is at 5. Anyway, very excited. That's really cool.
Starting point is 00:19:51 I've heard that it's not a good place for it because of the weather. It can be very unpredictable there. It can all of a sudden be overcast. Yeah. But I'm going to hope for the best, and I think it'll be cool. But I think at the very least, you're going to get that sensation when the sun goes off. It'll be different. And it goes, Biu.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Hopefully I'll get the full thing. Either way, I'll have a nice trip after that for a week in Iceland. And I'm very excited about. So I've been Googling stuff for that trip. Doing research on Burek has made me really want to go to Iceland. It's really cool. Iceland is dope. I went once before.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Have you been? It's really cool. But I studied Vyork. Viking history in college. And a lot of the people who settled Iceland were like fleeing the other Vikings of like Norway. Oh, interesting. So they're like more chill.
Starting point is 00:20:29 They're like, bro, fuck all this. Like you're sort of a bit different. Like, bro, I'm not trying to get fucked by these freaks. Let's go over here. Anyway. Yeah, it's a really beautiful, cool country to travel in. A lot of trees. There's like no tree.
Starting point is 00:20:42 No trees. It's basically just, I mean, it's truly like an alien landscape. And what's interesting about it is that, you know, you do the drive around the whole country. And it's like every hour you're in like a completely new ecosystem, right? It's just like, everything looks totally different, and you're like, all of us, it's just really cool.
Starting point is 00:20:56 But when I went last time, it was like towards the winter, so it'll get dark at like 2 p.m. Now it's going to be like light, basically 24 hours except for the eclipse time. That's kind of the only nighttime I'll have. Wait, how often do we get? I bet everybody's just going to go to sleep. What's the next one?
Starting point is 00:21:10 The next one in America is like 2050. So it's pretty infrequent. But they, I don't know, I think it's every few years, but you have to go to the specific part of the world to see it. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So August 12th and then. list of the thank God for Wikipedia
Starting point is 00:21:22 let's see in the 21st century we got August 12th 2026 then the next one is going to be February 6th 2027 okay pretty soon
Starting point is 00:21:33 Chile Argentina okay so maybe it's every year or so but some of them are a little further a field in Morocco, Spain
Starting point is 00:21:41 Algeria Tunisia okay well maybe it is January 26 2028 Ecuador Peru Colombia Brazil I'm like yeah yeah these are fun trips
Starting point is 00:21:50 you could just string together. July 22nd, 28, Australia, New Zealand. I mean, there are chasers. There are people who go around the world. Yeah, like deadheads. Yeah, that's kind of, it just soak up that energy. It's such a more normal thing to do
Starting point is 00:22:04 and we're like, oh, like dead heads? They should get their own thing and stop trying to be like the grateful dead fans. I would love to hear from a couple whose relationship broke up because the husband got obsessed with chasing eclipses and the wife is like, all our life is oriented.
Starting point is 00:22:19 around finding this two minutes of darkness. Oh man, that's really cool. I'm very jealous. What is something you think is underrated? Couldn't remember if I said this before on the show, but calling an old friend, you know? Instead of texting to check in, someone you haven't talked to in a year, just call them, just say hi.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah. See if they pick up and chat. And if they don't, write them off forever. Write them off forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're dead to me. It's so easy. Text them after that and say you're dead to me.
Starting point is 00:22:49 It's so easy to let, like, relationships fall by the wayside because you get, like, little glimpses of someone's life on social media. So you kind of feel like, oh, I know what they're up to you. But you haven't really talked to them if it's an old friend, you know? So I don't know, just call them and just say hi and have a 10-minute chat. It takes not too much time out of either your day, and it can be rewarding, I think. Yeah, because they will be trying to get off the phone with you right away. Yeah, I know. You got to get in there.
Starting point is 00:23:12 You got to hook them. We've still uncomfortable. Everyone, you call people. You call people. You got me in a bad time again. I got to. I do feel like some people when I do this are like... They don't like it.
Starting point is 00:23:22 It's just, they're like, oh, man, so good to hear from you. All right, well, you know, trying to wrap it up a little bit. I'm way worse than that in person. Like, because a lot of times, like, it's like, I'm high at a grocery store. It was like, Miles? Fuck. No. Anyway, great to see you, man.
Starting point is 00:23:40 I gotta go. But on the phone, it's, I love a random call. Good. Because, like, I think this was when Mel was on. We talked about this. maybe this week or the end of last week. But it's such like part of our upbringing, just how we grew up,
Starting point is 00:23:54 was talking endlessly on a phone. Totally. So I think like it's almost like we have to remember the old ways sometimes. And it makes them feel appreciated, even if they want to get off immediately, you know, in Jack's case.
Starting point is 00:24:04 But that still makes them feel a little bit of an ego boost. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And yeah, sometimes they want to get off and then you have a follow-up conversation and it's great. I do notice like when you first start talking, the thing they know about is like,
Starting point is 00:24:17 how's that vacation that you took last home? I know. All they know is like what's on social media. Yeah, it's a little bit. So you're always on vacation, I guess. You're like, once last time I posted, sorry. You saw it out those sunglasses, like with the titties on them?
Starting point is 00:24:33 I'm like, I wore those as a joke in a thrift store a few years ago. So you've been voting a lot, huh? Yeah. You're a stickers, huh? Damn, dude. You're a sticker collector. Fully based on your social media. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:47 All those I voted Stam. You saw a Michael J. Fox? I was just a picture. Yeah, it was a wax museum. It wasn't even here. That makes sense. Yeah, okay. Ah, fuck.
Starting point is 00:25:05 What is something you think is overrated? And then this is a companion piece to the underrated, which is everything else you can do on your phone. That's all not good. But I feel like when cell phones first came out, people kind of like criticize the phone aspect of it and they were like oh I can't believe this is a phone because all this other stuff is awesome
Starting point is 00:25:22 those other fun stuff I feel like that was kind of the narrative but now it's reversed I think where the other stuff is taken of our lives and that all sucks and maybe the phone is cool again what about phones we're kind of ping ponging a little bit because I feel like we took the phone thing for granted because as you said when we were growing up that was the way we did everything and then the new stuff was kind of like oh who cares about the phone
Starting point is 00:25:40 part it can do XYZ instant messenger too basically but then you know our lives obviously got totally fucked by all that. And so now it's like, oh, the phone thing is actually weirdly cool. Yeah. I was talking with Brian, the editor, and just, we're both thirsting for dumb phones. Yeah, yeah. Like just, I got that brick thing, but I haven't set it up yet. Oh, really? You know about that? That's the thing that, like, basically makes it so you can't use your phone for anything. It basically turns your phone into a dumb phone, and it's a physical thing that you have to tap to undo. So basically, if you leave your house, I don't know, this is an ad for a thing I haven't even used yet, but I did already buy. But you, basically, as you leave your house,
Starting point is 00:26:15 you tap your phone on the physical thing, and then while you're out or whatever, your phone cannot do the apps that you lock out. It's just simply cannot. There's no way to bypass it. Right, right, right. And then once you go home, you can tap it the physical thing. I think it's like,
Starting point is 00:26:26 I think the physical form of a smartphone just fucks me up. Yeah, that's true too. Like, and I feel like, I'm like, this thing, bro? Yeah. I'm not going to scroll Reddit on this fucking dumb thing. I'm like, hello? Yes, thank you. Miles is doing the tiniest phone.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Zoolander style. The Will Ferrell's a bit when he's like, How quickly can you have your bags packed for Milan? Do you guys know about tin cans? No. It's like a new... With like a string? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Well, that's where they got the name. Are we third graders right now? Oh, but it's a dumb phone? It's a dumb phone that my kid's school got for each family. And it's like usually $100, but like each kid gets a dumb phone. And then it's like you put in certain numbers that are like, oh. So it can only like place and receive calls from... From certain numbers.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And it's like other like tin can phones. So like, because educators are like, you know, seeing how bad everything is. They're like investing in this. And so you, you're, but if your family only has one,
Starting point is 00:27:27 you can't call each other, right? No, you can call other families. Yeah, yeah, you can just call, they can call their friends, which they don't do
Starting point is 00:27:33 because they didn't even know about that was ever a thing. It's not really working. The idea is every family has one and then you can call the other families. Yes, exactly. It's funny. My one friend,
Starting point is 00:27:44 like, have one friend. Dude. I always have to be specific. That is crazy. I've made some mistakes. Okay. You admit it.
Starting point is 00:27:54 You get it. I do have a hand in that. I got to say. Some misplaced words. We're working. I'm glad this person stuck by your side. But my one friend, her son is like 11.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And like all the other kids have phones. And like some of the girls have smartphones. Yeah, have smart phones. And like some of the like he had a birth. and like one of the girls like came up to his mom's like hey like so and so's a crush on blah blah blah like her son and she's like can i get his number and she's like oh he doesn't have a phone right and she's like uh never mind no it's like well how do i talk to him she's like i guess you can like text me if you need to get a hold of them so these little girls are like texting my friend all the time
Starting point is 00:28:38 like what's he up to that's funny and she's like girls this is like not how this ever gossiping, yeah. She's like, he will have a phone or something. If he wants, I'll tell him to call you, but like, don't just hit me up.
Starting point is 00:28:52 That's funny. But that is, yeah, I guess that's the equivalent of like girls calling your phone when, like, we were younger,
Starting point is 00:29:00 you know? Oh, would you ever panic? Like, you'd call like a girl and like their parent would pick up. You'd be like,
Starting point is 00:29:03 fuck, dude, I can't do this shit. He's 11 year own boys keep calling and saying fuck and then hanging up the phone. Hang up before you say fuck. We have caller ID now.
Starting point is 00:29:14 too, you Kiko. That's my mom's name. I have a close friend who's kid, I know. I don't have kids, but my friend has like a 10 or 11 year old son. And I just, I saw him the other day
Starting point is 00:29:24 at the grocery store and he was not with his dad and it was like, and he was just alone. I think his dad was another part of the grocery store, but it was funny to be like, oh, hey, and I'm friends with this 10 year old,
Starting point is 00:29:33 but I'm like, oh, I'm friends with this 10 year old, but I'm like, oh, there's a context for this answer. I'm like, hey, what's up, man? How are you? Yeah, did you do a compliment? Yeah. And I was like, it's interesting
Starting point is 00:29:41 that I'm friends with this kid. But I mean, we've camped together and stuff. We are friends with his dad too. But it was just funny to be like, someone who doesn't have kids. It's just funny. I got a lot of friends too.
Starting point is 00:29:50 So it's like all the time. Some kids who are like more precocious just come up and they're like, hey Jack. Yeah. Yeah. Talk to me and they're like, like we're friends.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Oh, and it does feel a little weird. What do they hit you up about? No, just like when I'm like around. Oh yeah. They just like come up and start talking to me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:05 And yeah. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, yeah, I'm friends with a 10-year-old. No big deal. That's the homie right. That's the homie.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah, yeah. He's crazy, bro. Yeah, dude, it was a fucking movie. You're right, bro. Last night was a movie. Specifically the movie if, directed by John Kaczynski. Movie, bro.

Starting point is 00:33:02 there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store.

Starting point is 00:35:08 Oh, you think mainstream culture is cool? Actually, our Super Bowl is going to be so much more lit. Yeah. And while everybody's watching Bad Bunny, like a couple hundred people watched Kid Rock's halftime show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. where he looked, like, I was really worried he was going to break his legs,

Are you Republican, dude? I'm worried about him. Hey, Jack, how you doing real worried about Kid Rock right now? Not good.
Starting point is 00:35:39 How are you doing not good? I'm worried about Kid Rock, man. He committed to the overcommitted once again. He's jumping off a higher and bigger, bigger stacks of amplifiers, dude. There's a video of, uh, people at a steam convention and they do a dance contest and one of the video game players is just like
Starting point is 00:35:58 jumping around dancing and his leg just breaks from like disuse. He's like a teenager and ever since then I haven't been able to see dancing videos. You're like, it's going to bring. Well, is it somebody with like legs that, you know? Kid Rockian. Yeah. As I said
Starting point is 00:36:15 when we watch the Kid Rock Super Bowl video, I don't like kids legs, man. I don't like his legs way that Roy Jones Jr. and Mike Tyson's like You were saying that and now I'm right you didn't mention that it's because you have trauma

Starting point is 00:37:12 You know what I like. But if that shows up, dude, that video's fog. You know it's going to be lit. Anyway, I don't know. Oh, we were talking about that because we, We like to, we're kind of connoisseurs of right wing concerts. Yeah. That are hard to book.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah. Really we're fans of booking. Yeah. Love it. It's a struggle. Big fan of Super Producer, uh, Catherine, Super Producer, who booked this show and do a fantastic job.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Look at our guest today. Look at us. Although, we may have a bone to pick because how come the 250 celebration books this person, but we haven't been in. Right. Exactly. That is, uh, definitely a conversation we're going to be having off. interesting point.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Anyways, they were having trouble. They were able to secure Vanilla Ice and CNC music factory, but Millie Vanilli failed. Young MC. Brett Michaels. Brett Michaels lead singer of, like, who. Morris Day in the Time, I think it was Morris Day in the Time.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Yeah. Brett Michaels, though, like, this is a good career move for him. Yeah, you're going to have a lot of your fans. So he's turning down money. I mean, most of the Rock of Love cast will be there. Yeah. So they were having trouble until now. We got a country singer on the rise.
Starting point is 00:38:32 A bunch of country singers, by the way, it bailed. But not Alexis Wilkins. Who? Alexis Wilkins. I have to assume she's related to Dominique and Gerald. Oh, cool, cool, cool. So she will go, no, no, no, no, no. This is a white woman.
Starting point is 00:38:48 This is a white woman. Who is this? Oh, this Cash Patel's girlfriend. Popular country musician who happens to be in a relationship with. You know, their age gap is 18 years, too. I was just, as I was looking into this,
Starting point is 00:39:03 I was like, oh, wow. How old is he? He's 19. She is one. She is one. He is 46. Wow. She is 28.
Starting point is 00:39:16 But yeah, they got Alexis Wilkins. And she's a, she's a, She's a musician we've all been really waiting to hear about for the first time. So this is nice. This is nice. Good timing. As it turns out, oh,
Starting point is 00:39:27 she actually sang yesterday on Wednesday. On 24th. So we'll have to check out the clip from that. We don't have the, because this was how last minute the announcement was. Like the day before she performs, they're like, we got Alexis Williams,
Starting point is 00:39:43 y'all. There's a button at the bottom of the image that we have here that says RSVP now. It seems a little desperate. Like a party you're not going to go to. Please. Please. RSDV, please.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I searched her on Instagram to look her up. Yeah. And I saw, you know, this made me feel good. Not a single person I know where follow follows. I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:40:05 That is good. You have zero crossover or is nice. You know, she's got, I think, like, 5,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. So there's... 5,000 monthly listeners. Hashtag 5,000 strong.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yep. Yeah. 5,000 is, seems, you just see. It's low for music. Sure, sure. Yeah. If you've heard of music, it's a little low. A country star called Lainey Wilson, got 12 million monthly list.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I don't know who that is. A little high. Yeah. Ryan Bingham, 1.7. Someone, like, on the, on Twitter was like, look at all these other fucking people who are these other no-name-ass people. Well, these are like actual, I guess, country people. Because I'm like, yeah, yeah. I'm not here to know who's a good country's in.
Starting point is 00:40:48 But she is described, and their own press release is a popular, popular country artist who's notable. But if she artists, why come her Wikipedia has no discography section? Why come she hasn't put anything out since 2023? How come she doesn't have an album even? She's an outsider artist. You heard that term? Yeah. Yeah, she's a little bit of an outsider artist.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yeah, she's a performance artist. Like when Manson was doing stuff with the beach boys? Haunting echoing vocals. He's like, what is this? So who do you think pitched her? You think cash? Could you imagine like those meetings? I wonder who pitched her really.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Yeah, no. It had to do it's him. But how was it done to convince Donald Trump? Right. Or did he get someone? Maybe he was like told someone else like, hey, you should pitch my girl for you know what I mean? Kind of like, I'm just like, you didn't tell someone else.
Starting point is 00:41:43 She's been saying nothing. Oh, okay. It was like in arrest of development when Tobias was. trying to get buzz going for his acting career. He's hanging out by the Warner Brothers gate. He's like, this fumeke guy, hey, have you heard about this fumeke? Hasch is like, have you heard about Alexis Wilkins? And so Cash was just at home, you know, talking about the booking issues.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And Alexis is just sitting there and she's kind of like, well, like I just, I would love to have seen every conversation that took place to get to this point, you know. Do you think he'll go for it, Cash? Oh, he'll go for it. He'll go for it. Oh, I'm so hungover, babe. And her response has been earned. to not given.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Yeah. She's just been like, oh, you guys have no idea how hard I hustle out here. I fuck this guy like weekly. Have you seen his eyes? I've stared into those things. Where the fuck? Yeah. He kisses like that.
Starting point is 00:42:37 He's like, he's fully open. It's fucked up. Looks constantly surprised. Straight into my eyes. You're so fucked up. I do that. So yeah, I'm going to sing the nati anthem. I'm going to sing.
Starting point is 00:42:54 On the pre-opening of the terrible carnival. Yeah, like, so people were pointing, you know, as soon as she announced it, people were like, quote tweeting it. And one person was like, does having the FBI director's girlfriend getting paid by the taxpayers to perform violate federal ethics laws? And this is what's set off the clapback. Let's just, this is from Alexis Wilkins. Let's just get a few things straight.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Because this is long overdue. I've been a country music artist for years now. How many of those? How many of those years? It's two years. She's been putting shit on YouTube for like six years at least. So, you know, predates her even being a legal adult. Maybe, who knows?
Starting point is 00:43:36 I have had a successful career in both music and commentary slash strategy. Okay. What fuck does that mean? People don't get to negate that for clicks or headlines. I get that. I was invited to sing this anthem on. my own accord. That seems impossible to know. I mean, if you, yeah. How are you with someone with sub 10,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, able to get the attention of the presidential organizing
Starting point is 00:44:02 committee for the America 250 celebration? Maybe they didn't know she was Cash's girlfriend. Maybe that was a surprise to them. No way, Cash. We just love your shit. Wait, Cash, this is your girlfriend? This is Alexis? We're part of the 5,000 strong. Oh my God, she's so talented. This is fucking crazy. This is the dream that is going through his mind as he's doing it as he's like pulling the string. I can't fucking. You're so lucky, dude. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:44:28 You have to tell me, what does she like? I love her music. I love her music. She said, I am not expecting payment for this great honor because they wouldn't pay you anyway. And then the next one, the Freedom 250 entire celebration is on a fundraising arm. Neither at UFC nor any national mall celebrations are taxpayer funded.
Starting point is 00:44:43 This is where I'm like someone from the White House is talking about. Yeah, this is directly a talking point from the week. I think Stephen Chung wrote this because in parenthetical, you would think as a journalist, this would be something she would know or at least look into. I'm no longer accepting false narratives and total sham accusations that diminish my hard work, which, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:00 I don't really know anything about her personally, aside from the fact that she clearly suffers from like in-cell douche blindness. Right. But it must be wild to start dating a guy like 18 years older than you. And then just so, yeah, because also people are like, this seems weird because suddenly he's like,
Starting point is 00:45:18 I do have a girlfriend. Country Western star, Alexis Wilkins. And everyone's like, who? And then the right wing freaks, then because you're with Cash Patel, you are going to somehow, you're going to catch strays by being near him. Case in point, the Epstein files, people on the right, definitely not satisfied with all this shit Cash Patel was talking about before becoming the FBI director, the lack of transparency there.
Starting point is 00:45:44 And then suddenly now, Alexis Wilkins is being accused of being accused of being. an Israeli spy by all these people on the right. Last year, she had to go on Megan Kelly and like insist that there's no hate or race. That was even before. Yeah. This was like last August that there's no hateration, Israeli spyeration in this dancery.
Starting point is 00:46:05 In this dancery. Oh, because just like cash seems like he's hiding the Epstein files. Come on. So one of the biggest pieces of evidence that these conspiracy theorists used was that she made videos for Prager You. And that's my favorite. Oh, yeah. Shout out Dennis Prager.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Obviously. And one of their execs was in the Israeli army. Therefore, if so facto, you are spy. It's just this whole interaction just so funny because Megan Kelly's like really trying to like help feed the right wing audience. And clearly you're not an Israeli spy. Here's Megan Kelly doing so. Actually, we did forget to do what we do at the top of every episode. Andrew, clearly you're not an Israeli spy.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're a Christian? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just listen to this. It's crazy that we have to do this. I know. Okay, so among others who have come out of Prager You is Candice Owens. And as far, last time I checked, she doesn't really sound like she's part of Mossad.
Starting point is 00:47:05 So she's an anti-Semite. What a weird, okay, that's one way. For the listeners, four American flags behind her. That's the number. Just so you guys know, that's the number. I mean, the fourth one's barely there. but just letting you know there are four. There are four, four, 44.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Four, four, four. Going through the Prager You process of becoming a star does not turn one into an Israeli spy. She's like just explaining. You've never lived in Israel. You're Christian as far as I can glean. That's also a wild. Yeah, just like you look Christian.
Starting point is 00:47:37 You look Christian. Some like physiognomy or some shit. Let me just get some ratios. Yeah, Chris, you look like a good Christian stuff. No, actually, to be fair, she has a carismism. Christian. She's got a cross necklace. Is that true? Is that true? Yes, I am Christian.
Starting point is 00:47:54 That's been the most interesting thing is you find out things about yourself that you've never put forth and have never, you know, believed in your life. That you're Christian? On the internet. But yes, I am a Christian. Okay. So you're Christian. You went to a Christian university.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Megan's like, you're fucking blowing this. It's like so wild. This whole thing is just running down. It's like, so you did Christian stuff. You're Christian. Go Christian University. You're not spy. And every person watching this is like, who is this person?
Starting point is 00:48:20 Someone's girlfriend. Like, it's not even... We're going to get a few things straight up top. Just don't know who she is. What are you talking about? We met at a dinner party last night, and we just got to get this off the top, figure it out. Earlier in the thing, she's like,
Starting point is 00:48:33 so how did you in cash meet? Because everyone's like, this is a honeypot operation. There's no way spooky eyes cash is going to be with country queen, Alexis Wilkins on any day. Notable country queen. And like, she was like, like, she gave a vague. She's like, we met at an event,
Starting point is 00:48:50 um, the mutual friend. Uh-huh. And then, but then like, Megan Kelly's like, so clearly you weren't set up. But like,
Starting point is 00:48:58 she has to keep saying like they'll, like has to really hammer it home for, because clearly I think the administration's like, hey, get these fucking idiots that are like, our base to kind of calm down about all this shit. I have to say, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:10 who loves events is rarely spies. Oh, yeah. That's their shit. Oh my God. So I don't. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:18 I don't know. It's hard to say, Cash. Hard to say. They do infiltrating events. They love it. Yeah. Yep.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Yeah. So Cash, uh, good luck to you guys. You know. Cover story. Yeah. Better cover story.
Starting point is 00:49:32 We met at an event that I was strategically, that I was working or operating at. Yeah. Like, whenever saying like vague, like we met an event of a mutual friend, it sounds like someone who's being like deposed for the Epstein files or something. How did you mean, Mr. Epstein?
Starting point is 00:49:48 I eventually waited on his person after. Huh? What? That's not helped people talk? We've been homies for, I. We've been homies for like ages, bro. What am I going to say? So, yeah, that's the current state of the talent pool for the America 250 event.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I can't wait to watch this performance that has already happened. By tomorrow's episode, we will be seeing what her performance was like. And also, I'm pretty sure Donald Trump is giving the kickoff speech along with this. So we'll see how further into senility he's slid. She's great, isn't she, folks? My daughter. My daughter. My great daughter.
Starting point is 00:50:24 My great daughter. Isn't she beautiful, folks? She's a great daughter, isn't she? Let's see what we've got. Let's talk J.D. Vance. We've seen him attempt to interact with people as a real human would. I think that the donut shop? The most famous example is probably the donut shop.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Yeah, on the campaign show. Where he's like, give me a dozen of these guys. And they're like, what kind you fucking weirdo? Various. Yeah, I think he said like whatever's normal. We're going to have to pull that. Because then he, I remember him making small talk and it's like, dude, they don't want to talk to you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:06 How long you worked here? How about you? How about you? How about you? How long you worked here? You've already asked me that question. And you? And you?
Starting point is 00:51:13 You were born, right? I'm the same person. You're born, human? Nice. You're born native? Born, born here? Born native. You've been in a car, right?
Starting point is 00:51:21 Right? You're probably eating one of these, right? Working here? Me too. Me too. Lots of them all the time. Gotta lay off of them, you know what I mean? Oh, brother.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Wait, it feels like, has that clip just been scrubbed from the internet? Wow. It's entirely possible. It's probably so long ago in terms of, like, dumb shit J.D. Vance has done on camera. But anyway, we do, ah, here it is. Thank God in 4K. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:46 I like, again, this is the one, I don't want to be on film. Yeah, she's not interested in being near him. She doesn't want to be on film, guys, and just cut her out of anything. Just cut her out of anything. Zoom's in. I'm JD Vancer, man. Okay. I'm being here soon.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Okay. Okay. Okay, good. Okay, good. How about you, sir? almost two years okay good
Starting point is 00:52:17 just everything yeah there'll be a lot of glaze to hear some sprinkle stuff so they send in rolls just
Starting point is 00:52:22 whatever it exists whatever makes sense that's like this whatever makes sense how long does this place been around oh man great foreplay
Starting point is 00:52:31 jd yeah love it that's a good order I like that whatever makes sense that's a good order anywhere you go you know
Starting point is 00:52:37 whatever makes sense we just gotta stop making sense sometimes oh wow would make you think I was a normal person
Starting point is 00:52:43 let's just go that, you know, whatever would make sense. What are the other straight guys order in the room? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, what's the straightest thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me get three of those. Sprinkles? No, no.
Starting point is 00:52:54 No, no. No. You tried to get me. Nah, that's a test. You guys see that for the cameras? That was a test they tried to pull. None of these are cum filled, right? Not that I would.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Okay, good, good, good. Whose is it? What? Sir. Just here. They're on the house. Please leave. And don't film us.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Get the fuck. All right. All right. After she's like, I don't want to be filmed, he's like, I'm J.D. Vance. I'm running for, like, he like kind of says it. Like, it's like, oh, you do want to be filmed. Yeah. She's like, nah, that's a no.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Yeah, that's, oh, I know who you are. Still, still a no for me. Anyways. And the idea of asking how long people are working at, like, what is, you know, sadly a dead end job is like, it's not good to be working here any short or like, like, there's no good answer that will make anything be better in this interaction. Yeah. A hundred years.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Oh, cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Oh, your lifer, huh? Cool. Anyways, we got to see him do another normal interaction with his wife. This is a new trend where the spouses of the most evil people in the Trump administration have their own podcasts to be like normal.
Starting point is 00:54:05 We love this stuff. So Usha had a Father's Day edition of Storytime with the second lady. And JD came by to read an excerpt from Winnie the Pooh. And at the start of the episode, he leans over and has a very normal interaction with her. We're just going to watch it real quick. They both seem very just like casual. She has good like hostage fit, like playing it well face. I got to say she's a pro.
Starting point is 00:54:38 She's polished. You couldn't even tell. Yeah, like there's nothing behind those eyes. They're both like polished, like very. As polished as a bowling ball. She's better than him, though. And then with equally lifeless eyes. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:54:50 My favorite kind. That's right. Today's special reader is my husband, Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance. Thanks for joining us today, honey. Of course. Good to see you.
Starting point is 00:55:02 And then a little neat that. I know, but in his defense, he doesn't want her to get pregnant again. You know, I mean, he can't double impregnator. Yeah. And if he goes anywhere other than the knee, That's a risk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Because was it Charlie Kirk inspired him to have another kid or something? Oh, is that true? It was something some weird
Starting point is 00:55:21 right wing shit happened. He's like, and that's why I decided we gotta need, we need more kids. What if he names this kid Charlie Kirk Jr.?
Starting point is 00:55:26 Yeah. That is an interesting twist. Mm-hmm. The last words. He said before he went out there said, hey, I'll see you in 15 minutes
Starting point is 00:55:34 and just one last thought. Yeah. Busting your wife, please. And name her after me. Name the son after me. The more you know. Make sure you,
Starting point is 00:55:43 you're sure to bust in a show. Shoot up for me. You know what I'm saying? The whole show is that. Like it's just him reading, them having very stilted and awkward conversations. So is her podcast aimed at children? Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:57 That's bizarre. Like trying to, does she get into politics? No, but she did read a book. Like, one of her first books was sort of, like, a lot of people were like,
Starting point is 00:56:07 oh, she's being subversive. A little political. It was like, it was like, it was like very inclusive. And I think it was talking about, science or something where it felt like, oh, this book, if you felt like the freaks who like run limbs of TikTok or whatever, or would be like going to choose a book for Ushavit, it wouldn't have
Starting point is 00:56:23 been that. Wow. And they were like, they were like, look at the other things on her bookshelf. But again, this means fuck all. Anarchic cook book. Yeah. Whoa. It's a little poster on how to make salt peter.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Yeah. Obviously, she's complicit in the right wing cards. But it's interesting. Maybe that is how she sleeps at night. just being like I'm actually creating little libs. Little woke kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I guess, I mean, of all the things you can do to do like your soft propaganda for the regime, it's better than Katie Miller's podcast.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Right. But anyway, yes, they're just having a good time over there. There's also a part of, like, I think it's, yeah, 1645 when he like lap. So the whole thing has like this music underneath it and. To the whole episode that music is going on. music is going the whole time. That sounded like an ad. I know.
Starting point is 00:57:16 But they're just like it's, it seems like this has been puzzled over and like thought through. And every little detail has been placed very specifically. And every facial expression has been like coached. Wow. But you know what? You do the music bed under everything when the actual conversation sucks so bad. Like I've done this in post.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Or like you try and put an interview out. But you're like, These people are fucking insufferable. You're like, I think it needs. We got to cut the time in half. Right. And put some other sound that distracts them subtly from the dead air and their dumb voices. Wow.
Starting point is 00:57:53 And I have a feeling that's what it is. But anyway, here's their moment. You take this little music bed out and you just like, it's like that shot of a, or that episode of a big bang theory where they like took the laugh track out and you watch it. Oh, it's like dark. Yeah. Yeah. The creepy music. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:11 just like drops by like 10 degrees. You don't even need creepy music. Your brain just supplies it. Yeah. It adds it in. And I'd imagine too with these, this weird ass couple, you could probably hear like, reet, reet, reet, right? So here's their, just being totally normal, cool, loving people.
Starting point is 00:58:29 They constantly want multiple chapters told per day. Your mistake was promising 99 chapters. I like to bring mine to a close, but I can start within you for a minute. I probably should have told them that had 10 chapters. Doesn't it feel like they added laughter there? It's, this whole thing feels like a comedy sketch. Like, it's, it's edited like a Tim and Eric video. Really?
Starting point is 00:58:52 Like, and then she's like, suddenly, like, if you look completely different, just moves on to a different point. She's like laughing and then she's like, didn't you? I probably should have told them that had 10 chapters instead of 99. Did you know the real Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends who belonged to the real Christopher Robin, or at the New York Public Library. So I didn't know that until recently. So I didn't know that recently,
Starting point is 00:59:14 but I have had sex with a stuffed animal. So there's that, babe. But you knew that. It felt it's redundant, right? Yeah, you knew that. You make you dress up as one. Anyways, normal, normal people, normal guy. Just that, the cuts are so bad.
Starting point is 00:59:29 The cuts are, the editing is so bad. Like, they're cutting off half his sentences. They're not even, like, trying to, like, roll the audio off a little bit, so it seems normal. Also the moving shots You don't need moving shots in a podcast It's just It's so weird
Starting point is 00:59:46 Everything's on speed rail Just so they can just do like Yeah it's a little movement Through here right little movement Yeah it does feel like a between two ferns Like but without jokes Just haunting Kind of in between
Starting point is 01:00:01 This is all love that we're striving Of course it's all love Yeah Just giving patting your wife on the as an opening greeting is wild although it feels like
Starting point is 01:00:14 he probably is like I can't hug her right the only area baby will come out on the air squeeze it out of her yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:00:20 she's not ready yeah that baby ain't ready you ain't good you can't hug a pregnant woman no you can't it's not allowed the uterus will fall out shoot right out
Starting point is 01:00:29 the bottom no I'm not doing that again again does feel like he's listened to a focus group that's like she doesn't test well with your base.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Yeah. So let's just keep it kind of very... Yeah, so interact with her like how like a Southern Democrat from the 40s would interact with a woman of color. Right. But had to do it in public.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Look at you. All right. Little Pat. All right. American. Is that good enough? Great. Let's take a quick break.

I don't think we'll ever see another Rihanna. To soul food, memory, identity, and the stories we carry through black culture. What does it mean to be black? And eat in America.

Starting point is 01:05:33 They don't like anything else. He's playing the lizard that Miss Frizzle has. Oh, yeah. So it's animated, it's animated, and it's back? It's great question. Okay. Oh, it might be live action.
Starting point is 01:05:43 It could be live action. It's being directed by the guy who made the Goose bumps movie. Another Scholastic book series, yeah. So I'm assuming live action. With the goosebumps that was on Hulu? That version?
Starting point is 01:05:56 They made a movie. They made a fill-up. What was the movie? Like six years ago, seven years ago? Oh, massive hit. Oh, was it really? Yeah, yeah, big hit.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Your kids see it? Yeah, kids love it. They loved it. Did your kids see? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Trying to make sure. That's how I know how, like, dark it could be.
Starting point is 01:06:12 You're like, I can't let my kids get into that. Right. That goosebumps. That's satanic shit? That's satanic shit. Fucking crazy shit. Come on, man. Only Vance.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Mm-hmm. Um, anyways, that's just a little update, by the way, only Vance. Only Vance. It's, it's, it's sexual pictures of the vice president, but it is, it is doing well for me. Yeah, it's, it's him on Vivance. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like harshly nude. Um, all right. So that's piece of normal news. Piece of less normal news. Thanks for the juxtaposition. Guys, Miss Frizzle, real. Miss Frizzle is real. Well, some people did. So there was a, uh, remake of the magic school bus in
Starting point is 01:06:49 2017 starring Kate McKinnon and people claimed there was anti-Semitic because Miss Frizzle had been like kind of given a nose job. Oh. Oh. And you know, Lily Tomlin was the original voice of Miss Frizzle. Yeah. And so they like made her less Jewish in this remake. So people were like, that's weird. Hmm. Well, she got big blue eyes instead of like brown eyes. We got like like she and she got rid of that spooky red hair. It's blonde now. Like woven silk. So we'll see. We'll see what they,
Starting point is 01:07:23 what Banks does. But Riley Gaines recently appeared on Katie Miller's podcast, another podcast that is. Speak of the devil. Yeah. Wife of Monster podcast. The wife of the monster. Bride of Frankenstein.
Starting point is 01:07:40 My husband, the monster. Which, we did not listen to the whole thing because I think that would be physically impossible. But, Riley Gaines ended up making headlines So this is a thing that Katie Miller does Where she has people on
Starting point is 01:07:55 And then asks them as like a fun icebreaker The way we do overrated underrated She does what's your favorite conspiracy theory So she's stealing from my mama told me Right Yeah but hers I feel like She's like what's your favorite black conspiracy Wait what's the fuck?
Starting point is 01:08:14 I feel like it's to make it Because that is a gateway drug for MAGA. Yeah, yeah. So to make it like a sort of like asking someone, what's your fun, what's your favorite little like fun rom-com? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, what's your, are you a Miranda or are you a Samantha? Oh, who's it recently? And there's a Chris, like the energy secretary's wife was like, I believe, I believe the teachers' unions are trying to take the children's minds away.
Starting point is 01:08:42 And then they just come out with these wild right-wing conspiracies. Yeah. There's an athlete who, what was the one recently, some athlete came on? Oh, yeah, the moon landing. A baseball player was like, I don't, I don't think the moon. I don't think we were ever landing on the moon. Elon said we did. So I'm going to trust him on that, but I think there's more to the story.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Like, what do you mean? What do you mean? More to the story. But he's like, I think we've been there, but not that one time. Yeah. And it's like, is that. The footage is fake. Yeah, which is so weird.
Starting point is 01:09:14 It's like, but they were there. And it's like, this is the most. Stakes, you're not even denying that people have been on the moon. No, no, absolutely not. It's also so weird that she's like, even though we are in charge of everything, what do you think is really going on? It's like, you are the government. Conspiracy theories have been a gateway drug that helps bring people into the fold of her Nazi Bond villain husband.
Starting point is 01:09:34 So she had Riley Gaines on the fourth place swimmer who has created a career by like losing to a trans athlete. And being like, it's not fair. Right, right. It's like, you're middling, actually.
Starting point is 01:09:51 So it's not, this isn't the same juxtaposition of like, this person has an unfair advantage and smoking me the greatest NCAA swimmer of all time. It's like,
Starting point is 01:10:00 no, you're mid. Yeah. But you are a day one swimmer, so we'll give you that. Congratulations. But you are mid. Um, so,
Starting point is 01:10:06 uh, asked what a conspiracy theory is that she believes in. And she said, like Helen Keller, if I'm being honest with you, did she really exist? Like, did she really exist?
Starting point is 01:10:16 I can't wrap my mind around it. Like you're telling me there's a woman who can't see, she can't hear, but she wrote a book. Oh, I like that. I like that, Riley. You got, you got something there. She wrote 14 books, by the way. 14? 14?
Starting point is 01:10:34 14. New York City. Okay, I'm team gains. You said 14. I'm teen gains at this point. That's too many. It's bullshit. All right, let me see now.
Starting point is 01:10:42 I want to watch this. What's a conspiracy theory that you believe in? Okay, I'm a pretty. horrible conspiracy theorists, to be honest with you? Facts. What is that me? Horrible? Horrible at it?
Starting point is 01:10:52 Like my whole existence basically is predicated on a conspiracy theory about trans athletes. But anyway, I got one for you. I would say a conspiracy theory I believe in. Or what about the ones that I don't? How about that? Like Helen Keller. Wait.
Starting point is 01:11:08 What? Yeah, she's getting her things mixed up. I don't believe in the conspiracy that she didn't exist. That she did exist. I don't believe in the conspiracy that she did exist. Let me invert the proposition here. I'll tell you a conspiracy. She's doing...
Starting point is 01:11:22 Helen Keller is a conspiracy theory. She's doing some double negatives here. She's being smart. Yeah. No, no. I mean honest with you, did she really exist? Like, did she really exist? I can't wrap my mind around it.
Starting point is 01:11:34 Yeah, she's claiming that she's a conspiracy theory. Right. She's claiming that the existence of Helen Keller herself is a conspiracy theory. And she doesn't believe in that one. No. Because she's... Can't get my mind. weird jiu-jitsu here.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Yeah. There's a woman who can't see. She can't hear, but she wrote a book. I don't know. Katie Miller is even like for the first of them. Like I'm like way too naive to believe that actually happened. Getting what a conspiracy theory is. That's going to be the part that's clipped.
Starting point is 01:12:03 By the way, it's going to be like Riley is so stupid and doesn't actually think Helen Keller is real. She has like. She's prescient. Yeah. She's prescient. I just love that. She's like, that's the part that's going to be clipped.
Starting point is 01:12:13 It's like Riley Gaines is so stupid. and it's clipped by Katie Miller's podcast. She's like, yeah, you're fucking right, actually, because I know what's going to do numbers. It was that weird shit. When I was in college, like the loose change, 9-11 conspiracy documentary had came out. It was like kind of people were talking about it and stuff.
Starting point is 01:12:30 The truth finally came out. Yeah, exactly. And there was a friend of mine who was like, he was like, you know, I've been reading about this 9-11 conspiracy theory shit, and that stuff pisses me off. It makes me so mad because, like, I have friends whose, you know, families died in 9-11, and the idea that people are saying it,
Starting point is 01:12:44 didn't happen really pisses me off. And I go, oh, do you think the conspiracy is that not didn't happen? Didn't happen at all? He goes, yeah, isn't that what they're saying? I'm like, no, no, no, no. They are not saying it didn't happen. That shit happened, dude. So you were essentially saying do your research. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And he was like, oh, I thought they were saying it didn't happen or something. I was offended. I'm like, no, no, no, no, they're saying it was an inside job. Yeah, they're questioning aspects of it. They're definitely, they're not claiming that buildings did not go out. It'd be funny. It's like, anti-Semitism in there. You tell him that the real the loose chain stuff.
Starting point is 01:13:15 He's like, oh, that I believe. Yeah, that. Yeah, that. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:13:18 building seven was the whole control tower. Yeah, we know that. Yeah, we know that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Shout out to him. You want to shout him out by name? I don't even remember. Honestly, I don't even remember. I'm sorry to that man. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:13:29 But this is, so I thought, this is funnier if she just came up with that on her own. Right, right, right. She's just like, it's a thing.
Starting point is 01:13:38 It's a thing. Wow. Yeah. Uh, 2020 TikTok conspiracy theory, you know, everything. Basically,
Starting point is 01:13:47 users claiming Keller didn't exist and that she was really a fraud. Some people didn't exist. She could see and right here. She, exactly.
Starting point is 01:13:57 She was like a, you know, an old-timey psychic. You know, those sisters who were like, I can communicate with the dead through Knox. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:14:05 yeah. It was basically Helen Keller was a glorified fox sister. Carnival trick. I've seen this. Yeah. Oh, yeah,
Starting point is 01:14:12 she's might watch this shit. what's up, see? Straight up, mate, trying to make her flinch. Hey, give me that pig skin. Yeah. Oof, I'm so sorry, miss. Fuck. All right, she's committed.
Starting point is 01:14:24 She's committed. I'll give her that. She's committed to it. This is actually something that goes back to 1892 when she was 11 years old. They were thinking it was fake. People, um, everybody was like, fake, fake. Wait, was she well known at 11? Yeah, she was like famous right away.
Starting point is 01:14:43 So, she was, like, famous right away. She wrote a story and the thing people were like that that's actually kind of plagiarized, which it was from a story that she had heard as an eight-year-old and like just, you know, mixed it up in her brain and like kind of remembered it so well that she kind of based a story on it. But people, the person who looked into it was like, yeah, it seems like she kind of remembered some of these things for her story, the Frost Fairies. but she has been in the full blaze of public curiosity too long and been tested by too many scientific men
Starting point is 01:15:16 and educational experts to be a successful deceiver. How did she write? What was the method? You guys know? I don't know. Was it communicating with her assistant or something? Yeah, like, tap? Touch and touch?
Starting point is 01:15:28 Why are you asking me, dude? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just, you don't believe right. I don't think she even existed, dude. Yeah, fucking right, dude. No way. Dude. I never thought I say this, but Riley, man,
Starting point is 01:15:38 you're spitting. fucking bars for once. Damn. I don't believe anything anymore. So back then it was just sort of like people couldn't even wrap their head around this like people, just disabilities. I'm sure, just generally back then. Disability.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Back then? Yeah. People still, yeah. I remember like accounts of people doubting their neighbor was blind and like trying to prove they weren't blind in an article like way back before TikTok. There's also online conspiracy theory that Stevie Wonder
Starting point is 01:16:07 is faking it. People love to do that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaking of fake disabled people, I don't want to give this person any publicity because I don't even remember their name, but an Instagram reel came across my feed the other day, and it was like a kill-tony adjacent comedian.
Starting point is 01:16:20 Yeah. Who's like doing a stand-up act as a deaf and blind person. Jesus Christ. And it's like, and I saw it at first, I was like, oh, is this a deaf and blind comedian? I was like, that's interesting. But it was, he's totally able-bodied. And he's just making fun of disabled people.
Starting point is 01:16:32 He was a fifth grader in 1994. I know, but it's just like, he's putting this out there and it has a lot of views and likes, and he put like a thing on YouTube and I'm like, I can't even imagine doing this on stage, let alone broadcasting this to the world. It's just insane. It's like that's the level of thoughtfulness on that side of the comedy world.
Starting point is 01:16:50 They don't understand irony. Right. And being like foundational to humor. So like, I don't know, people laugh when I do this offensive thing. Yes, exactly. So what if I just multiply that?
Starting point is 01:17:00 Let me just ten X that into a whole fucking special. Yeah. And he called it Helen Keller, I think. Like he put, it's like the Helen Keller special. I mean, I don't want to get this, I don't even know his name, but I'll show you guys after. It really was like, what the hell?
Starting point is 01:17:14 It's me. It's me. I'm just trying to promote my special. No promo, no promo. By any means necessary. I got to promote my shit. I got to get my shit off. That's so fucking terrifying. Yeah, really dark and weird.
Starting point is 01:17:29 But people are into it. People are like, oh, this is funny. It's like, wow, that's crazy. Yeah, I'm sure for that, like, it's like the catharsis for people who are just so. Happy to see. their sense of humor get represented in media. And they're like, and I have no brain of my own. And I just, I don't, I think, because I have no idea how to be a good person.
Starting point is 01:17:47 I like when people are offended by shit. So yes. I'm all in on this album. Okay. One of the key pieces of Stevie Wonder evidence, like a lot of the Stevie Wonder evidence is like, he can like walk around without bumping into things. That's crazy. Like that guy must be able to see.
Starting point is 01:18:03 One of them is in 2019, former NBA player, Shaquille O'Neal shared a tale wonder recognizing him in an elevator. I was like, dude, do you know how many, like, noises Shaq must make? Yeah. Also, I mean, we all know Shaq's smell. It's like even any of us could our eyes close smell Shaq
Starting point is 01:18:21 from a mile away. It's not hard. Deep Friar grease. There's an entire wall that smells like Shaq over there. And the sound is not moving around a 7 foot to 300 pound mass. He was like breathing heavily. And Shaq goes,
Starting point is 01:18:36 is he goes Oh, Shaq's like, I just know that. What the fuck? Yeah, because your voice is the deepest fucking thing anyone's fucking heard. And someone who's good with their ears playing music is probably like,
Starting point is 01:18:53 I know that voice. No one else could rock the elevator when they walk in like Shaq. Or is his like anecdote is like he walked in and he's like, hello Shaq. He might have just, the doors opened and he said hello Shaq. But it could be his smell.
Starting point is 01:19:07 It could be weird noises that check picks. Or he might say that every time an elevator door opens and he finally got it right. It finally paid off. He probably thinks I'm not blind. You should have seen the millions of other elevator patrons who were stupefied by his hello shack. What? Stevie Wonder is very blind. Andrew, such a pleasure having you.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Great to be here. So fun as a lot. Always. Where can people find you, follow you? Yeah, I always plug my podcast called podcast, but outside of interview strangers on the street. And I want to, before I leave today, let's get it on the calendar,
Starting point is 01:19:45 getting you guys in. You've been next time of my list, I've just been doing stuff on the road, but I want to do it at the Tesla diner. I think you guys are good people to do it outside of the Tesla. You've been in my, on my schedules. I may have to wear a disguise.
Starting point is 01:20:00 You go there a lot. They're going to trespass me if I show up again. They said, but yeah, I'm down. But no, yeah, it's close. It's close to where we record, and I don't know what time, but whenever I drive by, I try to see, like, when are people hanging out? I think in the evening, maybe. I'm going to keep doing research, and let's do an episode, you two, at the Tesla Diner with me.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Anyway, podcast, but outside, we interview strangers on the street. I actually just released a really emotional, very crazy episode of my mom, who I was extremely close to, passed away two months ago. And it's been a very big struggle, but thank you. But anyway, I was very lucky enough to the last time I saw her in February, I did a podcast episode with her on the streets of her. hometown in Colorado, like a really small rural town and interviewed weird people who walked by and like my aunt. And it was very emotional. My mom was very funny and silly. And I just released that like a couple weeks ago. And I'm really proud of that episode. And it shows our relationship. And it was a fun, fun nice thing to put out there in the universe. So go check that out.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. Thank you guys so much. Yeah. Um, weird to follow that up. No, it's okay. Hey, is there a work of media you've been in? No, it's okay. I got something to plug. my good friends, Cam and Pete, have been doing this really funny thing on Instagram called Screen Time, which is basically Sports Center for influencers. So they, like, go through their, like,
Starting point is 01:21:16 following count, their like-to-comment ratio, like their growth. And it's very tongue-in-cheek and silly, and they're like, can the Costco's guys bring it back this year? They've been dropping. Their numbers have been dropping. They're like the Yonnes.
Starting point is 01:21:26 And they film it in, like, a whole studio that looks like SportsCenter, and they're zooming in on their profile. It's very silly and funny. I think it's just screen time on SC. Scroll center is that what it's. Screen time on scroll center. Anyway,
Starting point is 01:21:39 I looked that up on Instagram. It's a funny, funny little clips. Miles, where can people find you? Is there working media? I'm Andrew Mishan on Instagram and all that stuff. Yeah,
