This is courtesy of Ryan Stark, who I appreciate gave it to me as
the Michael Buble version
of it because he knew I wasn't
capable of anything beyond

thrilled to be joined as always
by my co-host

that that rules yeah i just thought it was a good concept for a zoo yeah no it is i mean yeah that's
the problem with a lot of my ideas is that there are too many good ideas in them right
people are distracted by uh trying to throw money at you and don't bother to get.
Yeah.
No, it's tough.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this Thanksgiving, your Thanksgiving show, you know, comes back from break.

tdz of choice did you read them they love that shit like trippy dad zingers people love that
shit people love that shit they eat that shit up man well i know not much is new with you since we
last spoke so uh we can just breeze past that part.
Wait, wait, Jack, but that's not true.
Wait, what?
What happened?
You're mistaken.
What happened?
I had a child.
What?
Yeah, that's right.
I'm a dad.
I was...
Zaddy Turner?
I was a Nick Turner Jr., but now I'm a Nick Turner Sr.
I don't know if that's how it works.
I think it is.
For the purpose of this, it does work like that.
All right. Well, I'm a senior, baby. welcome to the club man thanks what's it like uh you just said your child now is in the phase where it's gone from being like please i'm i'm not going to
do much facially here because i've just been born to now entering the phase of smiles and giggles yeah so i wish that it was not much
facially before it smiles but the baby can react negatively right from the first second
it's always upset you can see it on his face you can hear it when he's crying constantly
it's just having a bad time right and you do so much and it's like, guess what? Not enough to make me happy.
Right.
Yeah.
When I feel like the first two months to three months are like a,
you know,
perpetual period of like when you first get out of a warm bath or out of the
shower and you're just like,
fuck,
this is that the last thing was very very comfortable
this is less comfortable yeah and then you know i know i'm gonna acclimate to this right cold
weather but right it's gonna take a few months yeah so it sucked and being a bad a dad is bad
i thought but then but then those smiles started coming and uh boy, howdy, get you some of that.
What kind of giggle?
What's the stuff that your baby likes in terms of that inspires a giggle?
What's the height of comedy to your child at the moment?
Tickling the belly, maybe.
I think it's like eye contact.
The mamaroo.
Put him in the mamaroo put him in the mamaroo if you don't know it's a little a little baby uh
chair that uh just moves in like a u okay yeah yeah there's the other one that's like the baby
rocker that's like kind of a l-shaped thing that just like goes back and forth that you can really
like get going do you know that one oh you're the baby bjorn
the non-mechanical yes yeah yeah yeah i would get a little aggressive with that it's baby born brand
i don't i don't know right but like when you're do you ever find like you know you're a comedian
do you think you'll ever come at a point where you see your baby laugh at something and you're
failing to get your own child to laugh and it like kind of fucks with you oh yeah well it's like i've uh it's that chapelle show sketch where his son is like nick cannon is
hilarious right yeah of course man i mean it's insane i mean i've you know my dad he's a great
guy and he loves me but he's not my audience right right yeah if my whole life was
like trying to make my dad laugh you know fuck i would be even less successful if you can believe
or you'd be jeff dunham who knows oh my god the dream right i'm uh i'm like in a bit of a conflict
right now because on the one hand my son is is having his first theater experience and it's really great he sings the songs uh loves them we play
them around the house the downside is that it is cats cats sucks it is bad for kids it's fun
but and he really likes cats so yeah yeah but i yeah i had never really gotten into cats, never listened to cats.
And it's true what the haters say in a lot of cases.
Not my favorite.
The hate is true.
Yeah.
And I'm worrying that this is going to imprint on him as what musical theater should be.
Okay, so it's good.
We'll give him another chance.
After two months, three months, it starts getting good.
And then at five years, he gets into cats.
Yeah.
And it's bad again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You have to.
Yeah, you're in a perpetual war with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Yeah.
As we all are as artists.
Yeah.
Yeah, he is into Rogan, Miles.
I kind of told you that in confidence.
But I was like, whatever. I mean. Well well because i tried to get him into tdz and he was like i i see what
you're going for but and then he heard rogan and was like dad have you heard rogan dad i mean like
this guy gets it man he's like you're just arguing with joe rogan and like you're not even respecting
his like perspective at all of that right actually you're kind of more small-minded i'm fucking with the jre now slippery slope slippery slope that we
all have to be careful of hey welcome back to just reheat eggs with your host joe rogan you see if
you don't take it i can take the idea to a different right yeah yeah you're gonna pitch it
around god can you imagine like what a sad show like Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to pitch it around.
God, can you imagine?
Like, what a sad show.
Like, all right, so how do you like to reheat your eggs?
Oh, I love reheated eggs.
I think everyone does.
Just reheat them, man.
You know, I can't afford new eggs.
No.
What I do is I batch cook my sunny side up eggs, and I individually wrap them, and then
I put them in the microwave for about a minute and a half.
Perfect.
Uh-huh.
I reheat them longer than you would cook an egg in the first place.
All right, Nick, it is wonderful to have you back.
We are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, a couple of the things we're talking about today on the show.
The Democrats are trying to figure out how to not get fully
waived in the midterms. So we're going to talk about that. See what ideas they've come up with.
What the pollsters have been telling them.
Yeah. What does the handful of people who are just in the business of perpetuating their industry
have to say to them about what they should do.
What's their strategy?
We're going to do a quick sedition vibe check.
Like, what's that Jan 6 committee up to?
We might have a Tanya Harding 2.0 on our hands.
I think we do.
In the world of what I believe is known in Europe as soccer.
Soccer?
Soccer.
Soccer?
Yeah.
I already pissed off the football fans by calling
the NBA the beautiful game. And I will continue to do that. We're going to talk about Arby's
because they're trying to kill you with this latest product that they dropped on our ass.
Fry flavored vodka. I guess not really trying to kill you because i don't think anyone's falling
for that but could be wrong they got both crinkle cut and curly fries so we'll we'll talk about
those nick will be taste testing those for us uh there's gonna be a ring on ding dong
before we get to any of that shit though nick we do like to ask our guests what's
something from your search history okay i was just looking at it i don't need to say i'm not
a waste your time looking at my phone now i know it was coming hey it's uh it was thomas jane
thomas that's right last night i was watching watchingights. Okay. He comes in in the 80s.
He's in the scene with Alfred Molina.
Yeah.
Where the firecrackers and it all goes wrong.
The scene that was pretty much uncut gems packed into one scene.
The whole movie packed into one scene.
That's true.
It really has the exact same energy.
Oh, man.
It's fucking awful.
It lasts so long. Oh, man. It's fucking awful. It lasts so long.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
So Thomas Jane, and I hate to drop names.
You guys know this.
That's not the kind of guy I am.
Absolutely not.
That's not the kind of comedian I am.
Yeah.
No.
But I have done a couple podcasts with Jamie Loftus.
Lyra, by the way, is maybe the single biggest jamie lost his fan that exists lyra lyra my wife yes
lyra i'm sure the audience knows my wife at this point why do i need to say this yes the mother of
my son anyway when i first got to los angeles not to live, but as a comedian. One of the first trips I ever made,
I went to a pool party in the Hollywood Hills
at Thomas Jane's house.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
And he was not there.
Wait.
So is this like house sitting?
You just jumped and hopped the fence in his backyard?
No.
I mean, I don't know how I...
I don't even don't
even remember who i went with but uh i remember that his all of his siblings were there there
were like three of his siblings oh hell yeah and i think that that some of them were adopted
you know anyway they didn't even look like thomas jane sure but but anyway uh anyway it's just a
funny memory that like that's my big holly Hollywood pool party. And my memory of that that stands out the most is I tasted some cheeseburger chips.
If you're wondering what effect that does at a pool party in the Hollywood Hills.
Were they Lay's cheeseburger flavor?
They could have been.
I remember it tasted like someone just added pickle.
Yeah.
That's pretty much it.
Thomas Jane is somebody who I have Googled personally as like, I've seen him be like fucking incredible in enough things that I'm always like, wait, why isn't he in everything?
I guess he's been in a lot.
He's had a good career career but it just feels like
i don't know i would say he's most famous for the punisher right right he was also in a hung
two-season hbo show yeah right right and also uh and if you remember arrested development
when he was the actor who was like playing like a like a unhoused guy and then
he's what's uh portia what's her what's her name in the show fuck man i'm forgetting all the bluths
yeah she she like portia portia de rossi is the one who's like falling in love with him and she
like can't like she thinks he's like actually like a homeless guy right and then there's just
like this one line where like he goes to help on the model home and they're like sort of like i know everyone's here for like you know their own reasons
and thomas jane just says this line he's like i just want my kids back
lindsey lindsey bluth lindsey bluth of course of course work of unburdening that off of the listener's mind.
People screaming, yeah, I'm sorry.
Lindsay!
Forgotten the Arrested Development canon.
Yeah.
And I'm not criticizing them because I have that same thing on podcasts.
If somebody puts something out there and can't come up with it.
Right, right, right.
It's a weight on me that is slowly killing me.
I got to stop listening to podcasts.
Nick, what is something that you think is overrated?
My baby's gender.
Okay.
It's everyone's first question.
When you're pregnant, when you have a baby, boy or girl.
Right.
But that is relevant information to no one.
That's a really good point.
It doesn't fucking matter at all it doesn't
matter at all to anyone not even to me right there's nothing going on i mean it matters to
me because i got a i learned i had to pull back his foreskin right to wipe his penis yeah yeah
but that's it. You know,
I bet you don't have to do that.
If he doesn't have a penis.
Right.
But in other ways,
yeah,
it's crazy.
I mean, cause it is the,
just the most often asked question and like for strangers,
you know,
right.
If they just see a pregnant woman and like,
Oh,
congrats.
Like what,
what's,
is it a boy or a girl?
You're like,
you're a lady at the bank.
Right.
What do you give a fuck? but i i like the reptile
yeah she just like pulls out a notebook and she's like one boy all right thank you miss
i wanted to know noted on your account yeah it's really really weird and just as humans we just
have these just automatic responses that for no reason.
And then it's just a waste of time.
Yeah, because it does seem like if you have really nothing to say, it's just sort of like it follows this pattern of conversation when talking to like somebody like, oh, you're pregnant, which the next thing would be probably be, what is it?
Was it a boy or a girl?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know? be what is it was it a boy or a girl yeah yeah you know like i feel like it gives them something
to because i i don't know too many people who are like when if when you give them an answer
they're like oh never mind yeah a boy oh fuck okay sorry and then it's always gonna be oh
that's gonna be right oh it just's great. Yeah, raise their shoulders behind their head.
That's a good one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're both pretty good.
Yeah.
So we found out with our first, did not find out until day of, on day zero on the second.
And it really brings out a lot of folk science in people.
People will do love to be like, oh, you're definitely
having a girl. Oh, yeah, why?
Why?
Why do they think?
Hold on, take your socks off really quick, Dad.
Let me look at that.
You're sweating.
Your pinky toe's as long as that
fourth toe, so it's a boy.
They were mostly wrong.
Mostly, almost all of them wrong
like oh you're carrying that like a girl it's definitely a girl uh-huh this is based off of
it's funny too one of my friends who's a nurse like when she was pregnant she's just around a
bunch of like other nurses and like it was funny how she said so many of them she's like i don't really we're not we don't
really care we're not looking blah blah blah they were like oh everyone introduced all their theories
like so if like a nurse was from the philippines there was like a version of like what filipinos
believe is like the full sort of assessment of what a child what kind of child it'll be
and then like a russian nurse would say different. And it's interesting how she's just constantly bombarded
by all these different ideas.
Contradicting?
Yeah.
Almost like it's not scientific.
No.
The one theory that I've enjoyed
is that pilots claim that pilots only have girls,
that there's something about being that high in the air,
that close to the sun,
that makes it so you only have girls.
And there's a band that I'm friendly with
that back when they were very small and didn't fly anywhere,
they all had boys.
And then once they started flying places,
they all started having girls.
And their pilot was like,
Oh, yeah, well, you're definitely going to only have girls now, guys.
This band like a...
This band had a lot of kids. Is this Hanson?
It is Hanson.
Wow.
That was the Walkmen.
And they did have a lot of kids, in fact.
But yeah, it must be like a holdover from the day when it was like,
oh good, so you're going to be able to put them out in the field pretty soon.
Or, you know, there There is a part of the mind that just immediately goes to that, but I just wonder if it's just
from an earlier era, because it doesn't matter until a long time on. It doesn't even change
how you approach the child at all. What is something you think is underrated?
That is a great question and a little out of left field.
I did not see that one come.
But I guess if I had to say something, I would say baby names.
Okay.
Baby names.
This is no easy feat.
It took us three days in the hospital before we before
we decided yeah he was nameless for three days now my approach coming with the name nick
is that i don't want a name that three-fifths of my best friends have also.
Sure.
I mean, it is bonkers.
Shout out to Nick Vatterot and Nick Rutherford, who are those guys in my inner circle.
And it is insane that there's so many of us.
And I don't want that for my kid.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
We also thought that Tennessee was pretty cool. and it would be nice and alliterative
tennessee turner you know yeah but that's that hits too hard that's too good of a name
yeah stick that in the middle and they get it's an option for yeah if he if he wins a grammy
then he can then he can start using it if he's a college football star i feel like that would be a show horse yeah yeah
yeah don't gender my baby he could be a show horse now sounds like oh yeah that name all
sounds like a turn of the century like baseball pitcher oh tennessee turner oh tennessee turner
oh my i mean we're a baseball pitch like a oh the tent throwing the tennessee turner yeah yeah oh yeah like an
off-speed pitch yeah or a pool shark yeah yeah absolutely a pool shark it's no it's no joke that
like that when you don't have a name and the baby's out is uh it's a real real process gut
check yeah people really get upset it's like you know you thought people cared about what the
gender was but once they confirm what the gender is then they come hard with what is that goddamn
baby's name tell me now it matters how much does it weigh what's its name i need this yesterday
on my desk yesterday you don't have a fucking name. I'm calling CPS.
Everybody at the hospital.
It's the first thing they ask because they like write the baby's name down.
Right.
Right.
And so you go in and they're like, what's the name?
Every person we don't know.
And they go, oh, you're waiting to find out what it looks like.
You're going to you're waiting to see the baby.
Yeah.
Like, absolutely not.
I'm not.
We're just trying to come up with a good name.
Who would do that?
You don't look at a baby and it's like,
yep, that's a jack.
Just a baby doesn't look like a jack.
A baby looks like another baby.
Baby looks like baby if you had to give it a name.
If you waited, yeah, you'd be like,
oh, tiny grandpa.
Most of the kids.
Yeah. Would just be bag of mayonnaise. Yeah, yeah, you'd be like, oh, tiny grandpa. Most of the kids would just be bag of mayonnaise.
Yeah, yeah.
You got nothing.
But we went with Otis.
Yeah, which is a great news.
Because we looked up what it meant and made sure it wasn't on any lists.
Right.
That's what we, yeah, we had Liam locked and loaded for the first five years of our marriage.
And then once we started thinking about having kids, we looked at a name list and it had been the number one name.
And still remains the number one name.
Yeah, it's still the number one name.
The Liam Neeson affection is strong, I guess.
I don't know.
Yeah, Gallagher.
Yeah.
Liam Gallagher is probably yeah i want a baby who
can find me if i get taken you're about to be taken daddy someone who knows what a champagne
supernova is yes thank you um and then of course as soon as i posted the name a friend of mine texted me to say that uh
her she had named her baby otis and like moments before or no no uh years a couple of years ago
i just but you just weren't up yeah i just i just forgot or did you know whatever
baby you know it goes over my head i don't care until it's relevant to me yeah exactly
well you nailed it.
So congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
Did you have a committee?
Like I had my, it was my wife, my sister, and I were the only people who I was really letting in
on the naming process on the second one
who we didn't have a name for for the first couple of days.
But like, that's how you know you trust somebody
is when it's like all right i'm
gonna let you in the writer's room on this baby's name i wouldn't even tell anyone like what we were
thinking about yeah just because i don't want anyone's negative opinion i don't want to see
your face because it doesn't matter you know and there's no yeah there's no good names none of them
make sense. Right.
And so,
yeah, we had no committee.
We just,
at that final day,
we were like,
the hospital is like,
you have to name him by this day or else,
or else it's going to be way more paperwork.
Yeah.
It can't,
and it can't be untitled.
How does it feel?
Angelo.
Okay,
fine.
Give me another form then.
Brown sugar.

It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.
I have a proposal for you.
Come up here and document my project.
All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
One session.
24 hours.
BPM 110.
120.
She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams.

And we're back. Welcome back to tie-dye zebra
cool man again like kind of a cool pattern kind of a cool like look if we had a tie-dye zebra print
t-shirt i think it would sell that's kind of like like Lisa Frank's lane. Yeah, you've kind of fucked up. Do you hear that, listeners?
With Photoshop?
You hear that, MFC Erickson?
No, we're putting too much on MFC Erickson's plate.
Yeah, I feel like, don't do it, man.
Anyone got a Canva account?
Yeah, I'm not saying like a tie-dyed print
with zebras running around on it.
I mean a print that is zebra print, but with tie-dye. I'm sure it's being done. Oh, you're saying it's like a black-dyed print with zebras running around on it. I mean a print that is zebra print, but with tie-dye.
I'm sure it's being done.
Oh, you're saying it's like a black and white zebra print base shirt,
and then you tie-dye the fuck out of that.
Out of the white, yeah.
What does tie-dye mean?
Is it because you tie it together?
Because you turn it and you dip it in the dye,
so that's how you get them trippy patterns and shit.
Anyways, people should listen.
I'm glad that i spent a minute expressing
my thoughts on fashion because it's something that i'm really good at and i'm sure is one of
the main reasons the listeners tune in i didn't say it at the beginning but uh it's a wonderful
white shirt thank you yeah wait white t-shirt is uh is that like ball mon it looks like very
vintagey dist distressed design.
It is.
Yeah, Balmain.
I don't even know what that means.
It's fruit of the loom.
By the way, just speaking of what I look like right now, I'm still growing out my beard and mustache.
I haven't made the full commitment to the mustache because, as I mentioned, my wife, I think, is going to leave me when I do the mustache. I haven't made the full commitment to the mustache because, as I mentioned, my wife,
I think, is going to leave me when I do the mustache. So it's very uncomfortable, though.
Things are going that well, huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm hanging on by a thread.
Literally hanging on by some beard hairs.
I'm as full as Miles.
Oh, I mean, look at this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Looking like fucking Burt Reynolds over here.
Looking like turd Reynolds over here.
All right.
Let's talk about,
uh,
the Democrats.
They,
how they feeling these days?
I mean,
look how we look and baby,
they'd have a good,
they had a bad bit of a bad couple elections.
Some races didn't go the way they thought they were,
especially in Virginia.
And like then it kicked off the whole thing of like,
is it, are we too woke?
Did the woke artists completely swindle the party
and go too far left or something like that?
So it's been a bit of a gut check,
especially as most onlookers are like,
see, this is typically the disaster.
This is the recipe for it. You promise shit,
you don't deliver, then you wonder what the hell happened. And then you continue to not deliver
only for a rebalancing of power to happen in Congress. And I think from the outside,
it's pretty clear what went wrong, which was just sort of like, hey, why don't you deliver
on the fucking legislation that makes life easier for 99%
of the people? But I think it's like, they have this, it's sort of like they forget that
there are more, like their donors maybe make up a couple thousand people that can cast votes,
where, you know, the people they actually need to impress are in the fucking millions.
So maybe just maybe emphasize that part. So pollsters have been doing a lot of,
you know, A, B testing to figure out, like, what kind of messaging is going to work? How
is how are the Democrats going to make up to get some like independence and the base sort of
energized to come out and vote? And again, the results are very clear. They come to this
conclusion that, you know, essentially what it boils down to, people want to hear about increased pay and addressing the imbalance of power in terms of
employment and governance. There's just a feeling that people aren't heard, cannot do anything.
Their wages are just sort of stagnant and no one's addressing that. So that's just sort of like,
hey, that's easy. We can kind of get behind that. Right. But it's just kind of sad to see that, like, so much money is being spent on consultants, you know, but the fuck.
And like these are people who act like millennials and Gen Z voters like don't exist at all and are like confused when like these kinds of sentiments come out.
But the whole thing with this now is this polling document it like reads like aliens from another
planet are just finding out about like class struggle and that people are aware of the
disparity in the economy and it's funny how like with all this stuff's like we got to talk about
this you know black voters like talk about just finding better outcomes in the legal system as
well as funding for like historical black colleges and universities things like that
and then there's like this one line that says quote and most importantly this framework produces
some of its biggest shifts with gen z and millennials particularly the whites from this
like document you're like you guys just don't know who you guys just don't talk to normal people at
all this is so clear that you don't know people who are like get a paycheck
that they count on every week that you're just in an echelon or you're in a reality of people who
don't have to think about their bills at all and it shows by never considering this when you're
ideating around legislation and not only the small group to do it that they like don't worry about
their bills like they're all multi-millionaires right
you can't be in congress which is like hilarious how much money we know every congressman makes
right it's not it's like sub 200 000 right and 100 of them that have been there more than one
term are millionaires like yeah yeah we need to shut it down all of the defund
congress i'll go one further yeah right they're like y'all don't need a fucking paycheck that i
feel like would be very popular uh with the people but you know right yeah you don't need a paycheck
why are we doing this shit you everyone as soon as they get to office must pick a charity
that their money goes to or something right or if it's like if you're not a millionaire then you can
get you know because there are new members of congress who are like activists like you have
cory bush yeah and people like that you're like oh yeah give them a better paycheck but like if
you're out here like if you're the bullshit no even them no everyone's
gonna get correct corrupted you know everyone's good until they're not well i don't think the
corruption comes from the paycheck yeah it's not it's such an insignificant amount of okay how
about this they only get their paycheck you're not allowed to make outside money like a like an
athlete like an ncaa athlete yes that's a good idea like take take the ncaas
all the energy they were putting towards making sure that like nobody got paid overtime for the
summer job that like they got while playing for the university of louisville like change take all
that energy which was a considerable amount of energy they were like the fucking fbi on that shit like take all
that and put that towards just making sure that congress people don't it'd be interesting it would
be interesting to hear congress members of congress defend them getting a salary right you know like
being like well if not i mean i have bills i have to pay. And you're like, really? Then fuck off.
You are worth, I think, over $100 million.
I don't think you need a paycheck.
I don't take a paycheck on that.
That doesn't go to me.
That's just holdings.
So that's the big argument about you can't tax that.
It doesn't technically count, really.
It just means that I can take out a zero interest loan on a fucking mansion because I have that much holdings.
Yeah.
And also, I got a good deal from the Gettys for officiating that way.
Oh, God.
How is that?
Like, why would anyone want that, eh?
Why would she do that? Why would she do that? A, why would she do that?
Why would she do that for the optics?
Oh,
I thought you were going to say,
how was that something I wasn't invited to?
Cause that was my first thought.
I was pissed.
Yeah.
Fucking tight.
I've not been invited to weddings before.
My friend,
Gavin Newsom skipped out on the COP 26 conference to go to that.
So that's how cool that thing was.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, like, look, we all stand an oil baroness.
Oil baroness queen.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, so all this to say is they still have their heads in the completely wrong compartment of their body, not on the outside, just to see what is happening generally in the country. Because another huge thing that's
happening that they're not really paying attention to, or it doesn't sound like they're saying out
loud they're paying attention to, is the fact that prices are going up on certain things.
We talked about how the inflation, there was an inflation piece on CNN, wasn't quite
nailing all of the data on inflation, but prices are going up.
Like there is there that's that's a fact.
But, you know, how much it's going to go further or how long it is, I think, are the big question marks.
And the huge disparity that's happening at the moment is sort of like around the fact that the middle 50 percent of earners have not seen a lot of wage increases, you know,
because of a lot of the people holding out to not take low paying like hourly wage jobs,
that's created an environment where companies are actively being like, here's like, we need
to be upping what we offer people to get more people to work.
So in the like the wage growth for people who are working hourly jobs has gone up, you
know, higher than like the increase
in prices that's gone on. So it's not quite maybe felt the same way, not to say that, you know,
they're completely insulated from this, but because their incomes have gone up, it's a little bit
less of, you know, I guess a perceptible, again, math issue compared to what middle earners make
and like how much prices have increased. And then when you look at that again, that's a group of voters are saying,
is anyone going to talk about, you know, cost of living increases,
how to maybe treat people more humanely?
Is that something the Democrats can talk about?
I don't know, but they didn't.
And so that's another thing they're pointing to is you also,
you got to look at again, what people people's lived experiences are not just what the messaging
is going to be right but it's those like kind of very basic and straightforward ideas that they
treat what when like you know a socialist candidate like just uses plain language to speak about them
they treat it like it's a fucking magic trick that they're like this person like just puts has an amazing ability to translate people's needs into regular like that
is disqualifyingly simple for the class of people who get their paycheck making it seem like you
can't get elected without them you know going through your your phone and telling telling you which donor
you need to like reach out to and then like also like you know charting and triangulating
like fucking how you should proceed but the more the more i see of history the more i think
like the the pepsi logo redesign pitch that gawker leaked to the world in the early 2000s explains our modern world.
It's an English paper by someone who didn't read the book but is on cocaine and is just so confident and just making shit up but is so confident that the shit they're making up is like
smart and all all they have to do is like kind of confuse and intimidate the person into like
not firing them basically that like the that the thing about like the this is the biggest shifts
with gen z and millennials particularly the whites, that energy
is just so
fucking poisonous.
All you have to do is just kind of look into it
and say, hey, do we have
anybody who's fluent in porn?
What are they saying?
Oh, like it's, yeah, there's just
such a terrible, terrible
disconnect.
We'll see what they do with this information, whether or not that's going to say like, hey, we actually turns out we actually can't just lie to people all the time.
Or I don't know.
TBD.
But the answer will become clear next year.
All right.
Let's let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
One session, 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

Do you ever wonder where your favorite
foods come from? Like what's the history
behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs?
Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite
Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry
for History, is back.
Season two. Season two.
Are we recording?
Are we good?
Oh, we push record, right?
Okay.
And this season, we're taking in a bigger bite
out of the most delicious food and its history.
Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita,
followed by the mojito from Cuba,
and the piña colada from Puerto Rico.
So all of these...
We have, we We thank Latin culture.
There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey
that dates back to the 9th century B.C.
B.C.?
I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.
Listen to Hungry for History
as part of the My Cultura podcast network,
available on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. Pro soccer. So, I'll just let you talk about this, Myles.
I'm not going to even pretend like I know what the fuck's happening.
Your favorite, Paris Saint-Germain?
Yeah.
So, yeah, look.
The Paris Saint-Germain PSG women's team is one of Europe's top squads.
Oh, yeah.
And they had a great win over Real Madrid in the middle of the week.
And, you know, sort of the story was there was like, you know, one of their starting
midfielders, Kira Hamraoui, she wasn't able to start because her and another player were
attacked the day before by like masked goons that pulled them out of the car and shit.
And she had her like legs and hands smashed with metal bars.
And luckily for PSG, Hamraoui isoui is you know understudy the person who's
like kind of keeping you know just has this other play have someone on off the bench who could come
and slot right in perfectly under the name of amanita diala hania harding right so this shit
got real yesterday because dialo was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the attack.
Now, the story goes like this.
This is from the Daily Beast.
Quote, on the night of the attack, Humrawi had reportedly accepted a ride home from Diallo after a team dinner.
Diallo was said to be at the wheel when both women were pulled outside by the masked men.
But Diallo was only restrained by them while Hamraoui was hammered with iron bars.
Oh, wow.
So she's now being brought in under just basically saying like,
so what's good, Tanya?
Yeah, why can't they hit her?
Also, they don't understand the game of soccer very well
if half of their hits were on her hands.
Yeah.
Right.
You're wasting time there.
Also, hit the other girl's hands.
Yeah, just give her a good one, like on one of her fingers.
Be like, I got hit on my hand too.
I don't know.
What if they were hitting our hands, man?
Yeah, was that the plan to be like, do the hands too,
so it doesn't look like a specifically soccer hit job?
I don't know what exactly the instructions, what exactly was in the instructions were,
but yeah,
apparently this was super sloppy.
If like within days that they're like,
okay,
I think it's this part.
Like we have enough to go on to bring this person into investigate further,
but I guess so.
Yeah.
Beating the fuck out of a teammate or a player that's above you in the
pecking order,
I guess it's still going strong in 2021.
It is like a possibility that
they just had orders to
hit the star.
They didn't care about some bench person.
You know?
What's your defense going to be
at that point if you're Diallo?
I don't know what you can...
Maybe
I don't know. They just, you're like, maybe, I don't know.
They just held me back.
And I was like, please think of my legs and get hers only.
I don't think there's much of a defense here, but we don't know.
We don't know.
But I get it.
Like, I feel like a lot of the time in soccer, there's always like this narrative of like
a player who's keeping another player from starting.
And I think that's true in most sports when there's competition for positions.
But this is like one where you're truly like, damn, you really just went for it and knocked off this player to get your way into the squad.
They're both like national team teammates, too.
So it very evokes a lot of modern day Tanya energy.
Wow. I mean, yeah.
Stay tuned. We'll be following this.
I don't know if we will.
We're getting to the bottom of this, guys.
Or if it's open and shut,
then we won't be, but it's pretty well.
And also, I didn't realize she was gooned up
to the point where she could put together something like that pretty quick.
Oh, you're a pro athlete?
Goons find you. That's true.
Yeah. Right. Alright right let's talk about
arby's they are releasing a vodka because they are trying to kill you yeah it's a good time
for people who somehow don't feel bad enough about themselves already while drinking they are
releasing a vodka that has won competing vodkas.
You got your Arby's Crinkle Cup Fry vodka and your Arby's Curly Fry vodka.
I am a curly fry man myself.
I don't think I would be interested in drinking curly fry infused vodka.
Flavoring anything.
Yeah.
What is the seasoning
in curly fries
that makes them...
What do we got?
MSG?
Paprika?
Yeah, you got your cayenne,
you got your paprika,
you got your onion and garlic.
Okay.
And that seems to be
the main flavor profile
of the traditional Arby's curly fry.
I mean... Okay, well, how much
is a bottle?
Oh, it's a mere $60.
Now, is this just in liquor stores
or are they opening Arby's with
like Taco Bell
Cantina, they'll have
Arby's Barbies.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Arby Barbie, welcome.
Arby Barbie.
Welcome to Arby Barbie, I. Arby Barbie. Welcome to Arby Barbie.
I hate myself.
And I'm Barbie.
Branded with Mattel.
Arby Barbie and Barbie.
Yeah, it's just for people to buy online, yeah.
Just to put on your shelf collection of empty bottles for college.
Right.
I don't know if I could eat.
I mean, it looks like in this promo image, it's for like a Bloody Mary.
Because I feel like that's the only time you could have a savory flavor,
like in a cocktail where you're like,
Oh,
okay.
I guess,
but this is just,
I don't know.
Like Arby's,
I think of me being like just terribly high and needing to eat a beef and
cheddar.
And I,
the last thing in my mind is like,
I would love vodka with this.
I think it's so expensive
because you're not supposed to eat it.
It's just for promo.
You're not supposed to drink it.
You're not supposed to know.
No one wants you to taste it.
Right.
You hold it on to your kid for your kid, Nick.
You're like, hey boy, you know what this is?
This is a collector's item.
This is your American vodka.
I wanted to share it with you for your first drink, my boy.
Well, it's the only vodka they let you drink in an Arby's, so that's why I bought it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's BYOB.
Keep your options open.
BYOB Arby's.
This is actually part of a trend. There was a Taco Bell wine, a Grey Poupon wine, and even Cheez-It wine.
These are wines meant to pair with Taco Bell.
It's not like a cheesy Gordita Crunch flavored wine.
Someone's just stomping on a bunch of Cheetos.
Get your mind out of the gutter.
Yeah, people stomping on Cheetos.
Come on, everyone. Do a Cheetos and Cheez-It the gutter. Yeah. Yeah. People stomping on Cheetos.
Come on, everyone.
Do a Cheetos and Cheez-It stomping party.
Yeah.
And Duncan partnered with a brewery this year to release multiple beers.
And they always sound pretty, pretty gross to me.
I guess flavor is just fucking king now, you know, because like even if it's that like seltzer is also brought in the era of like
hey man fun flavors to drink right you know remember you didn't make varsity basketball
it's like when a high school t show go high school tv show goes to college right you're
like what is even your brand anymore this is right this is too fractured go to bed arby's you're drunk sir this isn't arby's
this is perfectly okay i mean you know i i guess this is everything's just going to be a flavor
like there's no like everything's just sort of done to the point where little thought has to
be put into anything and you're not really like assembling anything anymore.
Obviously, the others like I can see how the Arby's thing is just a pure marketing stunt.
But even like when you look at just in general, how like the seltzer markets moving and how beers are starting to be like, fuck, fuck, man, fucking seltzers.
We got to fucking keep up.
It's just wild how much that is just these like little things are completely upending,
like sort of business as usual.
Do you think tomorrow in the,
in the Arby's marketing boardroom or whatever,
they're going to high five over getting it on TDZ?
TDZ.
Yeah,
absolutely.
Oh yeah.
It's the number one target for all marketers.
It's going to be on a chalkboard.
I guarantee 100% a podcast barely hanging on the charts is the number you know, product charts during the pandemic. But apparently they were the ones that were nailing it from a advertising perspective.
Alcohol and junk food companies have used the pandemic.
This is a quote from a OpenDemocracy.net article.
Have used the pandemic to, quote,
ingratiate themselves with the public and governments,
yet their products are driving disease
that exacerbated COVID-19 infection.
Companies have donated junk food and sugary drinks
to health workers and children's homes.
So, that's cool.
A beer maker has marketed
a six-foot social distancing cool box.
And then,
yeah,
just like making donations,
just making sure that everybody remembers.
Hey,
making sure.
Yeah.
When Sonny,
when your kids turn 21 or who knows by this time,
maybe they'll lobby the fuck out of Congress and the new drinking age is 11.
Nice.
They'll remember to,
to reach for a nice,
great cheese at wine yeah because like that
honestly feels like it just has it's just weird also too how products seem to be like it's clear
like a lot of millennials are in the driver's seat with a lot of marketing stuff because a lot
of shit is now we're at that point where it's like being like hey hey hey asshole remember this
remember this shit and now we're like oh yeah fucking arby's vodka cheese
at one i'm it's enough for me to go on go on yeah say it say the whole thing and then i'll be like
no i'm i will pass respectfully yeah taco bell pairing wine is a very that seems like a reach to me i just can't it's not let's not let's not pretend
we need to do this you know it's the only thing that pairs with taco bell and every motherfucker
on earth knows this is baja blast okay thank you okay so let's just cut the shit with this
and know that that's the only thing you need to pair with it is some food dye.
Like a New Orleans style Baja Blast frozen beverage, like hurricane alcohol, grain alcohol mixture.
That makes sense to me, but not wine.
I do like this Cheez-It wine a lot more.
I looked at a picture and it's a box.
Half of the box is the crackers.
Half of the box is a box of wine.
That's much, I don't know, it just fits a lot better in my head.
Right.
That's a good combo to bring to a party.
You know what I mean?
You're like pull up, they're like, oh, it's a house.
I'm like, hey, I brought a little, I heard there's charcuterie.
So I thought I'd, you know, pull up. They're like, oh, it's a house. I'm like, hey, I brought a little, I heard there's charcuterie. So I thought I'd, you know, contribute here.
Little house blend wine and some Cheez-Its.
In California, you can get that in the same store.
But like in Virginia or New York, you can't buy food in the same store as liquor.
So I wonder how that would work.
Like you go into, I don't know.
Oh, right.
You would have to get, in my mind, I was thinking someone goes to get the wine and then do another store to get the Cheez-Its.
And then they have a separate store that fuses them for you.
Yeah, you go to Lowe's and they shake them together in a big pink van.
They're like, here you go.
Off you go.
Sorry.
Sorry we couldn't sell it to you in one piece, but we appreciate the business.
Collecting the elements to create this collab box.
Collabo.
All right. Is anybody ever going to beat the Doritos Locos Taco in terms of brand collaborations?
Has anyone?
Am I wrong in assuming that that is the unassailable greatest?
You mean in terms of pure, just pushing the genre?
Well, just putting two products together.
Like that one just made so much sense and worked so well.
I'm just wondering, like, have we approached that level with a product?
I don't know.
I mean, I think if you made like a hot Cheetos michelada, canned michelada, I would drink the fuck out of that.
I feel like we have not explored hot Cheetos enough.
There were what we did talk about, like some Cheeto crusted fried chicken products.
Yeah, there is some stuff like that.
And the Cheetos did like a pop up shop.
But I feel like there's there's a way to go outside of food or something with hot cheetos
to to the hot cheetos experience yeah cheetos essence yeah like maybe if it's just hot cheeto
dust you know in a fucking bottle yeah oh like people use it like glitter. Yeah. You go strippers just covered. Hot Cheeto dust, where were you last night?
Coming home smelling like country apple splash from Bath and Body Works.
Hot Cheeto dust all over your work shirt.
I bet the way people want ground up whale tusks or whatever,
because they think it's got some healing property.
You could sell it.
This is like pure from the factory floor
Cheeto dust.
It's not like his fingers were in this.
That sounds like a millennial grandparent
folk cure.
You didn't eat enough hot Cheeto.
Here, here, here. It's like my fucking great
grandmother thinks hot Cheeto
dust fucking fixes that's
today's tessin tessin on it stir it in with like like some muesli just to like add a little yeah
yeah i think that i think that could work i think there's a future treating treating hot
cheeto dust like a supplement that yeah just and what the supplement. You compress it into a diamond?
The new Hot Cheeto diamond?
Ooh.
I mean, this is all
music to my ears.
I'm trying to think of a TDZ
acronym that works
with Hot Cheetos.
Give me 15 minutes.
Okay. We'll just be
waiting so listeners just get comfortable.
We'll be,
might hear some pen scratching.
The dust zeals.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
The dust zealots.
The dust zealots.
That's what it is.
The dust zealots.
Because we're all about the dust
and the hot Cheeto dust,
not angel dust.
Right.
All right.
And finally,
we just wanted to check in with Goop,
let you know they're still garbage
despite the fact that they have a new Netflix series that is getting like like rave reviews from the New Yorker who had the headline The Splendid Uncoolness of Sex, Love and Goop, which is the name of the show.
The Splendid Uncoolness. OK, yeah, that's an interesting compliment.
Blended uncool?
Okay.
Yeah.
That's an interesting compliment.
With sex, love, and goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's latest career pivot might finally be worth rooting for.
That was from the Washington Post.
Because we're all just like kind of waiting around, waiting to see, should we be rooting for her career pivot?
Or like, I don't know. How is this a pivot?
Yeah.
She's been doing this website for a decade or two.
Right.
Then she got a TV show, but she's a famous actress.
Yes.
So just one thing, like it is, it checks in with different couples about like sexual dysfunction
and their relationships and like how they overcome it with the help of sex therapists
but because it's a tv version they like csi that shit up and like make it real like active and
you know visual so sexologists actual like the people who help real couples off tv with
sexual dysfunction in their relationships are pointing out that this could
actually do real world harm because the show includes footage of sexologists and sex therapists
orgasming and simulating sex in front of clients, watching clients being intimate in bed and
digitally penetrating to women, which is generally not how that profession operates, but it sure would be enough to probably scare a bunch of people off of not
ever like going and getting help from a sex therapist.
This does sound like a better show than I was thinking.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause it's like straight.
Is this nest?
Yeah.
This is awful.
I got this.
This sounds like the,
like something like a teenager.
Like, it's like when you don't have access to porn.
Like, you find shit that you can kind of rock with.
Yeah, you masturbate to HBO's real sex.
Right.
Which seems to splendid uncoolness of sex, love, and goop.
Masturbating to the splendid uncoolness of sex, love, and goop.
But, yeah.
coolness of sex love and goop but yeah the like the one of the the sexologists are saying like what one of the false you know misconceptions they come up against is that sexologists will
need to touch you or watch you have sex and right that leads to real world sexologists both like
not being used but also being harassed or people claiming to be sexologists making demands that
people don't realize are inappropriate that's porn right because every time i've ever seen a sexologist or two people
go to the therapist they end up fucking the therapist right it's only in porn right yeah
but i mean i watch it over my wife's shoulder i don't watch it personally right right yeah that's that's nasty no it's fine you know
i don't judge i just personally i'm i'm a higher being right yeah i did notice you've been
levitating off of your chair for by like two to three inches throughout it's november 10th
what do you think's going on man yeah directing it inward it's november 11th miles come on
oh i mean 11th yeah
i'm so enlightened i didn't even correct you right is it just like weird sexology because i feel like
all goop things are like here's some people to tell you some stuff that's kind of half true and
completely distort your view of a given topic and then it's like and here's some shit you can buy
too like you feel like is the one-two punch a lot of right no not not in this case because like goop is just selling
their uh fully scientifically vetted dtf supplement to boost women's sex drives which medical experts
have called exploitive noise containing nonsense medical claims and they are like the netflix show is tethered to a quote
online shop inspired with the show not by the show it was like a inspired a beautiful yeah
inspired with the show which i feel like is similar to her like conscious uncoupling of like
there's no one cause or effect here it's that two things are kind of working together right
right it is the conscious uncoupling of bullshit merch that is attached to a harmful show so
dtf uh was also featured in goop's recent 2021 gift guide which you know has been raved about and described as uh with words such as
deranged the gift guide uh featured a 75 orgasm candle a 95 vibrator a 180 salad set a sled that
costs more than ten thousand dollars and a kid's jungle gym that goes for the low, low price of $37,000
because it's
gold-plated and I'm guessing
made from the bones of poor
people. I mean, vibrators, you know,
the vibrator tech, I'm not mad at a
$95 vibrator. I'm not
mad at it, but
I mean, an orgasm candle,
like, I love when shit is, like,
completely disconnected from something. Well, that's the sequel to last year'sm candle. I love when shit is completely disconnected from something.
Well, that's the sequel to last year's vagina candle.
Right.
Wasn't that scented, though?
Yeah, no, this one is described,
I think the text on the product page says,
this candle smells like my orgasm.
Oh my God, it really does.
Yeah, it really does.
What the, so what, like rotten cookie dough?
Oh no.
What does that even, I mean, that's what I hear.
Yeah.
From other people that do sex normally.
Anyway, this is about goop though.
Why am I on trial?
Yeah.
Mile just burst into tears like Kyle Rittenhouse.
No, man.
I rolled over my foot with my desk chair.
So anyways,
this is all coming on the heels
of the Goop Health Summit,
which costs $1,000 per ticket,
featuring workshops on creativity,
love, astrology, and belonging.
And of course, Porsche rides.
Because Porsche was a sponsor
and the Summit on health was powered by porsche
and held at the porsche experience center and attendees were invited to try the new 45 minute
porsche track driving experience and goop kind of presented this as a wellness activity claiming that the test driving a porsche was
quote the chance to experience being in your body in a new way like i feel like they do collaborate
like collaborate with like raytheon right be like their weapon systems allow us to be connected with
the present in a way that only can be brought on by imminent death or
something like that. Like, I mean, credit to them for finding a way to always goopify something
like, yeah, this Porsche collab, they drive it way to be in your body in a car. Fuck it. Okay.
Next thing. Check. There's also this personal sort of anecdote from when. She says, Driving's my obsession.
I'm an excellent driver.
I'm too fast and I curse the whole time.
She said that in the opening remarks.
Thank you, Porsche,
for being so aligned with us
on the theme of dreams
and dreaming big
and dreaming your way
into new incarnations of yourself
that cost nearly a million dollars too.
Also, like the way you said
my wife earlier.
It's one of those things where you can't not say it like I'm an excellent driver.
Right.
Also, she sounds like a total asshole on the road.
But yeah, cursing and stuff.
It's wild because I know some people I've worked with people who have gone over there to work and they either flame out real quick or they get they fucking get in deep
right i saw footage of this over the weekend from someone i know who works there and the way they
post and like we're like so geeked up on those Porsches and stuff, I was like, damn, look at you.
They got your ass.
Got us.
Every time one of those posts happens, she's just
quietly on her phone and she turns to
her COO and is like, got him.
See, got another one.
It's like the guys at the
Arby's Vodka.
TDC, got him.
These dipshits.
I think they're actually hurting us.
This is going to boost sales.
My favorite Goop product is the vaccine candle.
The vaccine candle.
So, yeah.
So, don't get the vaccine.
Get the vaccine candle.
The candle works just as good.
Just as good.
It puts midichlorians in the air. And you, you too will be able to harness the power of the force.
But yeah, like you meant, like a month ago there was a report that Goop has seen a massive exodus of employees in the past two years due to being overworked and paid at least 40% less than the industry standard.
But, you know, someone's got to pay for Gwyneth and her higher ups to drive Porsches and
curse at everybody.
They speed past as they drive recklessly through LA.
Wow.
Good for,
I mean,
these people are making so much money up at the top over there.
Doesn't that like undo everything she's ever tried to do with goop.
She's like,
Oh me personally,
I'm a nightmare.
I can't,
I don't care how much yoga
person does how many fucking sex candle therapies you do there's nothing you can do i'm a nightmare
goop doesn't work by our product personally i'm so fucking wild with this shit none of this shit
works on me but maybe well for you assholes don't know. I have committed vehicular homicide twice this month already.
But yeah, now give it a shot.
But my mother's Blythe Danner.
So I think I'm walking off that.
Yeah.
But, you know, good to see somebody again straight from the bootstraps.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
My dad wasn't one of the biggest producers in Hollywood.
No.
The second biggest. The second. No. The second biggest.
The second, yeah.
Shout out.
Nick, as always.

I want that to be on my next album deck.
There you go.
Is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been
enjoying yeah of course i have that information right here my dude that's sweet it's pulled up
dude you are on it yeah of course right here and i was last i was saying to miles earlier i like
up to three tweets a month and so it's funny when i go to my likes, they're always very, very far away.
Oh, here we go. This one is from July. I don't know. I think I liked it recently though.
And it says, the most unintentionally ironic video for July 4th, a veteran having to deliver
packages instead of enjoying his retirement. Everyone is focused on, well, he takes care of
the flag, but how about how well his country takes care of him?
This was attached to a video of an Amazon delivery guy, an Amazon crime delivery guy.
And he notices while he's delivering a package, a flag falls off the flagpole.
And then he picks it up and he folds it back and he salutes.
And then he picks it up and he folds it back and he salutes.
And then he turns around and then almost falls over because he is like a hurt hip.
And it was just everyone being like, this is the greatest video, American video that I've ever seen.
It's just an old dying man.
Yeah.
Who fought for our country delivering packages. And it's just like, dying man. Yeah. Who fought for our country delivering packages.
And it's just like,
that's our country.
Yeah,
it is our country.
Sorry.
It wasn't funny.
No,
that's no,
this sucks.
Poignant.
Poignant.
Miles,

We link off the information that we talked about in today's episode,
as well as a song that we think you might enjoy miles.
What song do we think people might enjoy today?
This track is called slow down mixed by art Feynman F E Y N M A N.
And it's just a really, it's like just one of those tracks where I love when people, you know, will add a little bit of distortion or fuzz, like the overall recording to give it just that little patina to it.
Feels like something vintage, but also spooky at the same time.
And look, great energy.
You'll be able to, it's catchy.
So if you like those aesthetic choices, I think you're going to like this.
So this is Slow Down mixed by Art Fein.
There you go.
Well, we are going to send you there.
We hope you enjoy that song.
