That was Spider-Webs from No Doubt. Because I talked about how I smoked a spider as the dumbest shit I did for money as a teenager. Which is already dead. I did not kill a spider just for the record.

Starting point is 00:03:52 My valley brethren Oh man yeah 818 I know not too many of us In this city We're dying Who are out here Living here thriving And also have the 818 area code
Starting point is 00:04:02 Right Shout out to all of us really I make sure I had to change my phone number recently Oh really And I still made sure it the 818 area code. Right? Shout out to all of us, really. I make sure. I had to change my phone number recently. Oh, really? And I still made sure it was 818. Oh, you're lucky. I was like, it has to be.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I know people who ended up having to get that 424. Dumb fucking out of towner. Yeah, that's that new shit. What? Yeah. Fuck that. Pray for them. Pray for them.
Starting point is 00:04:21 There's something about places that are notoriously like i don't know don't have great reputations like i i always say i've never met like a bad person who grew up in cleveland uh and i feel like all the people i know from the valley are like really cool and like good people yeah because we're overcoming you know a lot of negative yeah a lot of bad shit that's why i ride for people in jersey i mean same way people I know good people who are from Jersey. I have very close family friends of the earth from Jersey, the Garden State, and they have to deal all the time with people treating them like fucking mutants. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the Valley feels good, too. The Valley, I mean, also, you're meeting people who left the Valley. Right. That's right. So I think that's an important distinction. If you stay in the Valley too long, you will... I'm still there, baby.
Starting point is 00:05:06 You're still in the Valley? I moved back. Oh, so you went back. In with his mom. Yeah, in with my mom. You know, it's kind of a Pete Davidson type thing. You know, we bought a house together, but nobody's going to believe that. You know, even though she bought it 40 years ago.
Starting point is 00:05:21 No. Yeah, I think, yeah, I had to do the prodigal son returning. You have to go away for a little bit and then you come back and you have a deeper appreciation for it too. Yeah. I've always hated the Valley growing up. Oh yeah. I love it now.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Oh, I always, you know why? Cause I would always like in high school when you would go to high school parties of like other schools that weren't in the Valley and they'd be like, what school are you guys from? And we send like all the Valley and we're like, shut the fuck up homie. Now we just stole your keg so fuck you take that just walk
Starting point is 00:05:50 out slowly with the keg making eye contact yeah that's right the mutants from the valley have come to steal your beer and leave a trail of porn and weed behind yeah that's very true the thing about you know people who have escaped from those places is very true because I realized that the second Miles was like, and everybody from New Jersey is good because I've grown up in New Jersey and around New Jersey, and I don't think that's true of the people who remain in New Jersey necessarily. There's some great people, but there are also some people.
Starting point is 00:06:24 I guess more what I mean is when you're a general area that's close to a city or a section of the country that seems more popping, that you're treated as the lesser. For sure. Nah, we're doing shit.
Starting point is 00:06:36 True. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're doing shit out here. The Valley really is like the Jersey of California. Sure. Yeah, for sure. Kind of.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And Newark, California is also like Newark, New Jersey. But yeah, you know, look, you get your, your welcome. Paul Thomas Anderson from the Valley.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Right. Why do you think those movies take clips in the Valley? Probably most, or at least as a good, a lot of the section, even there will be blood. He said it was having to do with the Valley. So there were a lot of theories that were like people pointing out
Starting point is 00:07:05 that his movies were all like a broad history of california for a while that doesn't necessarily work anymore but no but hey look hey we claim him as our own yeah uh all right allison we're gonna get to know you a little bit better but first we're gonna take our listeners through a couple of things we're talking about today. We're going to talk about the Beyonce documentary a little bit more, what she made off of it, what Miles and I thought of it, because we watched it over the weekend. And ready for a hot take. We're going to talk about, yeah, it's, whoo, scorching.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Watch out, guys. We're going to talk about some passwords, specifically pop culture-related passwords, that were in the list of overused passwords from security firms we are going to play a little game called can you match the celebs with their favorite 2020 candidate we have a list of famous donor bases and i don't know yet what candidate they match up with so miles knows uh. I'm going to guess and we'll see how I do. We're going to talk about the Mueller report, possibly actually making a dent in Trump's polling.
Starting point is 00:08:12 When the Barr summary of the Mueller report came out, I think everybody was expecting it to, you know, positively impact his approval ratings. And that did not come to pass. And now that the actual report is out, and it's not exactly in line with Barr's summary, it seems like people might be taking that into account. Yeah, I think once they can see the report with their own eyes, new things come to the surface. Yeah, yeah. We're going to talk about Elizabeth Warren's position on student debt and tuition. We're going to talk about Sri Lanka. We're going to talk about George Zimmerman's dating life. Don't drag George Zimmer from the men's warehouse into this.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And we're going to talk about Game of Thrones. But first, Allison, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I mean... You're looking at your phone. You revealing about who you are? I mean. You're looking at your phone. You're like shaking your head like, I mean.

Starting point is 00:09:56 is that a known phrase is that a phrase you're trying to get more in the are you hurt it's pretty culturally it's like
Starting point is 00:10:03 kind of it came out after fuck boy was popular. People were like, well, what about the soft boy? And like, that was like a year ago maybe. But that's meant to be a pejorative because someone's not being all like macho? It's no, it's not. Like what's, you know, because soft you would use a year to like, you know, like in a hyper heteronormative thing where it's like, oh, you're soft.

Starting point is 00:10:46 That's like this dude on Married at First Sight. I think that describes a lot of dudes, actually. You'll hear that some dude's a fuckboy who you're like, wait, no way. That dude's like a nice, sensitive dude. No way, dude. Vape and Dave?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yo, Vape and Dave's a fuckboy? Have you seen the smoke clouds, that dude? Yo, this dude, this other guy on Instagram actually animated one of his smoke trick videos, and it looked even way cooler, dude, because he puts, like, lightning bolts around the rings and shit. So there's no way he hurts
Starting point is 00:11:20 women? Yeah, yeah. Come on. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated. I mean, I've been thinking about it. That's women. Yeah. Come on. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated. I mean, I've been thinking about it. I have two. One is the smiling poop emoji. Overrated.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I think it's done. I just think it should be retired. Too much? You think it should be frowning? Yeah. I think it needs a new expression. Yeah. Or maybe like a redesign or something.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I don't know. I don't know. I'll just like, today when someone sends it to me, I'm just like, come on. Right. It's not very funny anymore. Add some flies to it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Spice it up. Yeah, spice it up. Yeah, with like stink lines. Yeah, stink lines.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Because the other day I was trying to my friend who's in Japan right now sent me an image of, you know, Japanese. There's a lot of English misspellings in Asia. And one was at a restaurant offering a plate of French flies. Oh, interesting. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:12:12 oh, in my mind I thought there was like a flies emoji. Right. Because the shit thing made me think of like, there's got to be a flies buzzword. There isn't. I had to use like, I had to appropriate like a hornet or something. With a croissant and a French flag to send back. But yeah, I feel like we could swap out for flies. Oh, was that like a... That or something got it with a bat with a croissant and a french flag to right send back but yeah i feel like we could swap out for flies um oh was that like a that's why i was thinking stink lines i just took that in a whole other tangent i like the phrase
Starting point is 00:12:33 appropriate a hornet yeah to be a fly or whatever there's like a thing that looks like a wasp or some shit yeah it wasn't like a fucking fly that i needed. That's odd that there isn't a fly. I know. But yeah, the poop one, I don't use that much though. Yeah, I think it's kind of not used as much anymore, but I'll still see it and I'll be like, well, we're not 12 and you know.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's for soft boys. It's for soft boys. Who played the poop emoji in the emoji movie? Oh, I don't know. It was Patrick Stewart. Really? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Oh, okay. Yeah, really lean into it. We'll have the noted thespian Patrick Stewart. Right. Right. Yeah. I think that does officially mean that it's overrated. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Yeah. Actually, that was the death knell. Right. It's like, oh, so we get it. You guys think this is hilarious when we act like the poop emoji is important. When you Google poop emoji Patrick Stewart, there's all this press he was doing. And I would actually just want to hear him try. When he went on Conan, it says, Sir Patrick Stewart is thrilled to play the poop emoji.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Yeah. Like, even that sentence, Sir Patrick this night. This man who's been knighted is being like. Yeah. Speaking of Game of Thrones. Oh. Ew. Speaking of those weekends. Whoa, whoa man has been night. It is being like thrilled. Yeah. Oh, speaking of Game of Thrones. Oh, speaking of those weekends. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No spoilers yet.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Right. That's later when we do. We'll spoil the shit. We do spoilers. Okay. Yeah. There's also like poop emoji candy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:58 You know about that? Yeah. It's like all over the place. Emoji merch is whack as fuck. Yeah. Cause you don't, there's nobody who looks cool with it. Unless you're like five years old. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Like I get it. Your little tiny kids want to work. Even if you're, you still don't look cool. Yeah, that's true. It's just like, okay, you're a kid, so you get a pass. And kids dress all fucked up. It is amazing that my son has decided poop is hilarious and is like, will just talk, like put poop in the lyrics to
Starting point is 00:14:25 a song or something and like laugh uproariously about it and it's it's like it's weird because he didn't like learn that from anything it's just there's like an inherent like part of the human consciousness that's like poop is well have you made poop forbidden in your home no so you're you're poop you're poop posse no we're we're, yeah, we are potty training them. So maybe it's like anxiety around potty training. Yeah, or like, oh, don't, or do you be like, oh, don't touch the poop? Right.
Starting point is 00:14:51 You know what I mean? Because then now, guess who's, I guess you're touching the poop. Yeah. Or messing with the form now. The poop taboo. Yeah. So you're saying that as-
Starting point is 00:14:59 The poop taboo, that's where it came from. As parents, we need to be playing with our poop in front of our children. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, good, good, good playing with our poop in front of our children. Yes. Yes. Okay, good. Good, good, good. And then he'll be like, you are disgusting, and I would rather be more clean. And he'll stop trying to be funny. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Exactly. Which is, I think, the most important lesson. But it's good. Get the poop jokes done when you're two years old. That way, by the time he's five, he'll be on a more nuanced performance. That's right. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated, classic cheese pizza.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Oh, yeah. No toppings, just a plain slice of cheese. Fucking love it. Yeah. Yeah. Are you thinking of somewhere specific? Somewhere recently you had? I live very close to Tomato Pie in Silver Lake.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I go there a lot. Great cheese pizza. Tomato Pie, yeah. very close to tomato pie and silver lake i go there a lot great cheese pizza tomato pie yeah i used to i used to eat a whole uh medium when i used to work at a t-shirt shop out near the melrose one i would go walk there buy a medium cheese pizza and then eat that because nobody would come into our store yeah very sad time those are big slices yeah i had a lot of time. I was very high and I was the only person working in a sad retail space that like a divorcee used money to make and the whole thing was a mess. My check started bouncing. Also, I'm coming to get my back pay.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Right. Veronica. Yeah. I'm not fucking around. You've been talking about this for a while. I know because I still think about it. I have a month's pay owed to me. Yeah, it was 2008. But fuck, I'll be fucked if i don't get hopefully she's been
Starting point is 00:16:29 investing that for you so you see some dividends yeah yeah she's like yeah i put in some penny stocks yeah you got in really early in bitcoin i bought bitcoin for you yeah i hear no hard feelings here's 40 bitcoin, classic cheese pizza. It's amazing because pizza is like the coolest. It's its own meme, but not really even a meme because also like every generation thought pizza was fucking cool. But it's only going to- It's close to a perfect food. Don't talk to these Gen Z kids though.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Right. Well, it's always been like a thing that people were obsessed with. Right. True. eat kids though. Right. Well, it's always been a thing that people were obsessed with. I feel like in the future as vegetarianism becomes more popular slash necessary, we're gonna see pizza become even
Starting point is 00:17:15 more a staple part of the diet. It's only gonna get more. Because it's really the only staple staple food that is completely... I like that. The only staple staple food that is completely. I like that. The only staple food. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:29 You got any stock tips? It's the only staple food that doesn't have any meat in it. Right. And right now you are looking into the future and you're saying. Domino's, man. Pizza will inherit the earth. Short everything except Domino's. Just Domino's.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Domino's is already like, they're like fixing potholes and shit. Oh yeah. In a few cities they were doing that, like, they're like fixing potholes and shit. Oh, yeah. In a few cities, they were doing that, yeah. They're like kind of becoming the government. Yeah. What if they just take over completely? And they're giving you like discounts based on if you eat other pizza. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Like you can get Domino's rewards or whatever. I'm tired of advertising Domino's. I know. When are they going to get hop into bed with us? Do you talk too much about Domino's? We talk nonstop about Domino's. I understand Domino's they going to get hopped into bed with us? Do you talk too much about dominoes? We talk nonstop about dominoes. I stand dominoes. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And Taco Bell. Y'all are fucking around. And finally, what is a myth? What's something that most people think is true that you know to be false? Okay. I, if you remember last time,
Starting point is 00:18:20 I'm bad at these. I don't know a lot of myths. Okay, that's fine. I'm not a myth buster. Okay. But I do have something. There we go. I have something that's like, it's valley related.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Oh, there we go. And I actually am, I want to talk about it because I don't know if any listeners can help me. Oh, shit. Okay. Just like figure it out. Okay. Because when I was growing up in the valley, there was a rumor that there was a Chili's. I don't know which Chili's, but there was a Chili's restaurant every Sunday.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Apparently a bunch of, that's like where all the porn stars would hang out. All the Valley porn stars would hang out at this Chili's every Sunday. And I remember being like 18, 19, trying to find this Chili's. And I think we just went to like two or three and gave up but I want to know if this is facts I do you know about this I heard this same rumor about a mythical I can't remember if it was a Chili's but it was the kind of thing that on a Sunday there was like porno brunch like where where people were, but it's essentially the same thing. You're talking about a Sunday gathering
Starting point is 00:19:26 of adult film performers congregating in one space and you could go and be like, yo, there's so-and-so, there's so-and-so. You could go, like imagine like an 18 year old hearing this and being like, oh, we could like see porn stars in real life.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Like back then it would be like, I'm like 18, 17 being like, oh, I can't wait to meet Peter North. I'm like 18, 17 being like, Oh, I can't wait to meet Peter North. I'm like, what the fuck am I thinking? Guys, I hate to break it to you.
Starting point is 00:19:52 We had the same rumor in Wheeling, West Virginia. All the, all the big West Virginia porn stars. It was a Qdoba though. We would all come into the next one. Yeah, it is. But see, that's what's so funny about myths that especially come up in that era of the late 90s, early aughts,
Starting point is 00:20:13 because the information wasn't all out there like it is now on the Internet, where you could instantly gather numerous opinions from around the city to be like, okay, where is this spot? Right. So speaking of a myth that like everybody heard did you guys have the one where a famous celebrity had to have their stomach pumped and they were like uh there was so much so much semen yes a little kim is that who you're talking about okay well so when i was growing up it was elton john and or rod stewart wow and In my world, it was Lil' Kim. Yeah. What? Again, these are allegations not to be messy and problematic.
Starting point is 00:20:49 We're talking about word of mouth oral traditions of adolescent children from the late 90s and early 2000s. Yeah, but it was like different in every different. So, I mean, none of it is true because that's way too much semen to naturally get into your. Yeah, yeah. I like how it went from a homophobic one to a slut-shaming one. Right. Over the years, we saw it evolve. But in between, it was Rod Stewart.
Starting point is 00:21:14 What was Rod Stewart? People were just like, man, the guy gets it. I guess. One way or another, that guy gets it. Maybe that one is the most believable one. Yeah. What do you think the secret to his voice is? That rasp.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Yeah, that's right. And I'm not going to say whether that's the secret to my voice rasp today, but, uh, you know, you guys can put the numbers together. Uh,
Starting point is 00:21:34 giant smoke. That's it. That's it. Giant smoke. Caught you chugging that giant milk. That's right. Uh, all right.
Starting point is 00:21:41 We're going to take a quick break on that. We'll, we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.
Starting point is 00:24:02 I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?
Starting point is 00:24:22 And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

Starting point is 00:24:44 I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I just come here and play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious.
Starting point is 00:25:17 She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to the making of a rivalry. Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:25:40 podcast. And we're back. And Super Producer Nick Stumpf confirmed that in his day it was also Rod Stewart. Rod Stewart in the Maryland area? Yeah, in the Maryland
Starting point is 00:25:58 area. All right. Mine, I think I heard in the Kentucky area. And I also heard Lil Kim like later on in life. And I was like,' Kim like later on in life. And I was like, hmm, this is suspicious.
Starting point is 00:26:07 This keeps happening to celebrities. This physically impossible thing keeps happening to celebrities. But yeah. And also Super Producer Nick Stumpf says the reason he heard the Rod Stewart one is because that one is true. Because his cousin knew a dude who was actually on the paramedics team. He said he almost died. Rod Stewart from
Starting point is 00:26:31 a whole team of hockey guys. Anyways, we're going to talk. Let's check in with other recording artists who haven't been the victim of this particular rumor. Yeah, the only rumor this person has felt victim to is that they're in the Illuminati and they worship the devil. Right, because that's the only way
Starting point is 00:26:48 to explain her superhuman powers. We are, of course, talking about Christina Aguilera. No, about Beyonce. Beyonce. Yeah, I mean, look, we touched a little bit about the figures around the Ariana Grande pay disparity thing, and it ended up feeling like
Starting point is 00:27:05 a non-story kind of as we got towards the end of it yeah uh considering also people were saying that that actually that story wasn't even true like it was being misreported fake news yeah well that's what y'all come here for for the fake news yeah well we have a real bit of news okay because variety is exclusively reporting exclusively that the, you know, we all saw the Homecoming documentary. I did over the weekend. And my dad and I both on 420 watched the documentary with 420 in mind. Shout out to my dad who I saw the other day.
Starting point is 00:27:36 He was like, what'd you do? I was like, I got fate and watched Beyonce. And he was like, me too. You know, the apple, the nug does not fall far from the weed plant. So anyway, they're reporting that the whole Netflix deal, we said how prior to this, a lot of her content was being aired on HBO. We're like, what happened? And then Netflix, we find, came through with a larger bag of cash.
Starting point is 00:28:01 And this one is reported to be $60 million worth of monies in that bag. So it's for three total projects. So Homecoming knocked out one of them. So for presumably about a third of it, right? Quick maths, we'll say $20 million for that one worth it. And then so that means two more things coming up for her in development over there. So, you know, good on you. I mean, how much money that documentary must have like just the cost of the concert and the shooting of the concert must have cost so much fucking money.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I mean, yeah, it is one of the best concert movies I think I've ever seen. I would watch a documentary just about the physical production of that show. Right. After seeing the next one. Right. Yeah. And then the second project, then the third one is about making of homecoming.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah. About like the spouses and partners of the people who worked on it. We're like, yeah, it was like they were at war every day. It's such an amazing documentary that I immediately like 20 minutes in was like, who the fuck directed this?
Starting point is 00:29:03 Was this like the band,, with Martin Scorsese coming in and directing it? And it's directed by Beyonce and another dude who has directed, like, a couple of her videos. And he, like, I found an interview with him where he was like, yeah, she's just, like, meticulous. She watches every minute of footage, like, in the editing room.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Like, she knows every minute of footage like in the editing room like she knows every minute of footage and just will like direct based on that it's like wow insane she's like can you pull up stage left gopro 3 right yeah i mean that's literally what you would need to do yeah no okay let's not use that one but it's a really great film uh yeah yeah my dad my dad was like because i every time i would go to the concerts i'd gone to a few of her live shows he's like he's like is it that good i'm like just go like it's a good even if you don't like the music you will see a very good performance right and then he started like listening here and there and then when he saw it he was like okay yeah he's like i think I'll go to the next one.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Bring your ass. We'll go together. Yeah. He can make up for it, you know, for all the trauma in my life. Anyway. Speaking of trauma in my life, the part where Jay-Z comes out in the middle of Lemonade was just like, I mean, I knew that they were like, okay, by that point. But it is just like narratively for like the fans in attendance. That must have been like, the fuck is he doing here?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Hey. Yeah. You better take that L, Jay. Right. You know what I mean? Every fucking time, go out there and grovel if you have to. Crawl on your belly. That would actually be kind of tight.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah. And if she was like, you know what, motherfucker? Be gone. Poof. In terms of smoke. And then she like kicks off another song. People are like, you know what, motherfucker? Be gone. Poof. In terms of the smoke. And then she kicks off another song. We were like, ah! She legit murders Jay-Z.
Starting point is 00:30:50 We're all cool with it. And it was like, yes! Fucking bloodlust in the front row. All right. We don't normally get into digital security on this show. But we are going to today because apparently some folks out there need it. Yeah, we got to look out for some of y'all. I mean, every year there's always like these lists that come out of like the most overused passwords to stay away from. And a recent one
Starting point is 00:31:15 is no different than this. But in like identifying like these just very particularly vulnerable passwords, they pulled out ones that weren't like the usual just like password or QWERTY or like ABC123. They're like, there's some like very specific ones that are also surprisingly very common. And they're like, you should also stay away from these. And I'm going to start from the bottom going up to the most frequent. Yeah, please.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I love you. Okay, that makes, don't do that one. Cowboys won. The number one. Okay, yeah, NFL team. That makes sense. Michael. Not sure why.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Ashley. Why is Cowboys won as opposed to Cowboys? Probably because the one means extra security. Because now you've gone alphanumeric with it. So the Dallas Cowboys fans are just that extra amount of either cocky or aware of their limitations. Exactly, exactly. Then Man United. Yeah, I mean, it's a very, very large football club. Then Superman.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Then Liverpool. For Beatles fans? For Beatles fans and probably for Liverpool FC, which appreciates global support. Yeah. And then finally, at the very top of overused specific passwords, Blink182. What? What? These sound like very male-centric passwords.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Oh, yeah. Blink182, I could see everybody when i was in like seventh grade yeah oh i was obsessed yeah my yahoo email was like blink 281 or something like that oh the plot thick wait i don't get it what oh shit you turn the numbers backwards yeah she saw hackers and she's like i'm not fucking around with that link 281 that's funny because i bet like if they took the you know gender breakdown it's like 75 80 percent males who are using these passwords because we're the ones who aren't like thinking that well we're using your brains you're just not afraid yeah like who cares if someone goes into my cloud
Starting point is 00:33:24 they're not gonna see my nudes we don't have enough healthy fear so we're just not afraid. Yeah. Like, who cares if someone goes into my cloud? They're not going to see my nudes. We don't have enough healthy fear. So we're just like, that's probably cool. That's what patriarchy does to you. You grew up with this kind of privilege, and you're like, what are you going to fucking do? I'm not vulnerable. Society's conditioned me to think I'm the dominant.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Whatever. Fuck it. Nothing can hurt. I mean, I wonder. Blink 111. I wonder if it's because it's like one of the main pop culture things that combines letters and numbers. And there are passwords that say you have to combine letters and numbers. Wait, sorry?
Starting point is 00:33:55 Oh, yeah, interesting. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? So that's why we get Cowboys 1. Which is. Why we get Blink-182. Which is, I think maybe the people who are behind it feel like we have to, I think, explicitly just like force people to have these passwords. Because lazily there's going to be like password.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Like, please just add a fucking exclamation point or something. It will actually help when people try and just do brute force password cracking. Yeah. All right, guys. Let's play a game. Okay, let's play a game. Now, I did not put this list together. This was in Slate, so I cannot take credit for this.
Starting point is 00:34:28 But they've had a very interesting analysis based on open records for people's donations, like through the Federal Elections Commission and then other articles they sourced, to cluster some celebrities together. And based on this cluster of celebrities, they've all given to a common candidate, donated to a common candidate. Now, I'm going to give you up front who the options are going to be. There's Bernie Sanders,
Starting point is 00:34:54 people who have donated to Bernie, people who have donated to Kamala Harris, people who have donated to Beto O'Rourke, people who have donated to Mayor Pete, Kirsten Gillibrand, Andrew Yang, and Cory Booker. And no one, okay, so there's no doubles in here. Right. So one through seven, okay?
Starting point is 00:35:15 I'm going to read you the names and you tell me. Let's just start randomly. Who do you think Rachel Dratch and Connie Britton both donated to? I'm going Kirsten Gillibrand. Okay, you can pencil that in. Okay. Allison? I'm going to go Mayor Pete.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Okay. Okay, next one. Bon Jovi, Rosario Dawson. Cory Booker. Booker. Okay, that's nailed on. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I'm leaving the other ones obscure for you. Susan Sarandon, Nora Jones, and former Vampire Weekend member Rostam Badmanglish. I'm going Bernie on that one. Yeah, I'm going to go Bernie. Okay. That was Bernie. That was not Mayor Pete. When you get them right, I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Oh, shit. Okay, now next. We didn't get that Rachel Dratch one right? Jane Lynch, Mandy Moore, and Ryan Reynolds. I had that as Pete. Petey butts. I'm going to throw Beto. That?
Starting point is 00:36:13 Okay. We'll just keep that up. We'll keep that up there. Tell me this one. Oh, no. Quincy Jones, Wendell Pierce, Ben Affleck, and America Ferreira. I was between Kamala and Beto on that one, but I guess I'll go Kamala.
Starting point is 00:36:30 I'll go Kamala. Oh, because there's two black guys at the very top? Wow, I see y'all. Wow. Oh, you're right. Okay, now, Willie Nelson, The Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh, Dave Matthews Band's Boyd Tinsley, and Richard Linkletter.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Bill Lesh, Dave Matthews bands, Boyd Tinsley, and Richard Linkletter. I was torn between Beto and Andrew Yang on that one. I'm probably going to go with Andrew Yang. Okay. And number seven, Nicolas Cage and Weezer's Rivers Cuomo. Ah, fuck. I'll go Yang there. That's what I had too.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Okay, yeah, you're right there. Andrew Yang is seven. That's right. Nicholas Cage and Rivers Cuomo, Andrew Yang. Jane Lynch, Mandy Moore, Ryan Reynolds, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Susan Sarandon, Nora Jones, Bernie. Rachel Dratch, Connie Britton, Kirsten Gillibrand. Boniovi
Starting point is 00:37:23 and Rosario Dawson, obviously Cory Booker. You got Kamala Harris, right? Meaning Willie Nelson, Grateful Dead, and Dave Matthews, Band Boy, Tinsley, Richard Linklater, Betta O'Rourke. Okay. Got it. So shout out to Nicolas Cage and Rivers Cuomo for being on that Andrew Yang.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Andrew Yang. That was the one I was like. Yang gang. I was like, when is it going to be Yang? Yeah. Yang needs a moment. Nick Cage. I wonder, he's really down for that universal basic income?
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yeah. I don't know. Why not? Yeah. Wait, so who was Rachel Dratch and Connie Britton? Rachel Dratch and Connie Britton gave to Kirsten Gillibrand. Oh, okay. So I got that right.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah. I got a lot of these right. I nailed it. Okay, great. So you know everything. Let's just go back over that. You're the smartest man alive. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Yeah. I've going through my thought process, let's just go through behind the music on how I got all those right in the lounge. Let's talk Mueller Report, guys. What happened? Briefly, I mean, the longer people have
Starting point is 00:38:18 had to read this, we did a special episode of Behind the Bastard on Friday. Still out now, if you want two and a half hours of non-stop analysis and jokes. Basically, Robert Evans read the entire thing word for word, took 30 pages of notes, and then we go over his notes.
Starting point is 00:38:34 While Jack and I eat food. Yeah, that's basically right. But the longer people have to digest it, the more people are having time to move from where they were after the bar summary which was you know trump is innocent of everything and the fake news media was making everything up to trump definitely committed obstruction of justice like repeatedly uh and it's very clear
Starting point is 00:39:00 in the report like it goes over in painstaking detail that he committed obstruction of justice and that there was a contact between Russia and the Trump campaign, which doesn't necessarily rise to the level of criminal conspiracy, but it's definitely, it's as suspicious as we all thought it was at the points when we were most suspicious about it. Like at the times when those articles would drop from The New York Times and you were like, wait, what the fuck? Why is he trying to fire Mueller? Right. Like in the middle of the thing. Why is he, you know, only to be saved by people who knew the law around him and weren't that down with his agenda. They're like, yeah, I'll go to jail too right yeah yeah it was that nobody would do what he said because he was too uh they were just
Starting point is 00:39:50 like he wants me to do some crazy shit and i don't want to go to jail so uh that's what saved his ass most of the time but um yeah and there's also you know the the russia trump tower deal uh was also in there um so it's all all the suspicious stuff was there. They just don't have a smoking gun that connects it, brings it to the level of criminal conspiracy. And we talked when the bar summary came out about the fact that people had expected it to make his approval rating shoot up, and that did not happen uh it does seem like this might be and we're still in the very early stages here but it seems like it might the actual muller report might be having uh a downward effect on his approval rate yeah i mean for the first time i think just
Starting point is 00:40:37 fair i mean like again we don't know like you say it's too early to know right 538 usually says you have to wait until at least a week to judge how like what the impact of a story is going to be on the overall approval ranking. Sure. Yeah. I guess these first takes from this Reuters Ipsos poll has him down to thirty seven percent, which is the lowest it's been all year, which is at 40 percent. And it was at 43 percent following the Barr letter or Barr's William Barr's The Mueller Report. Right. The thing that was really interesting to me that was in this polling, though, is that there was 15% of respondents who said that their opinion had actually changed after seeing The Mueller Report.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Right. Which that's kind of interesting because i thought for the most part i felt everybody was pretty fixed in what their thinking was you either thought this was a witch hunt yeah or you thought no this is very clear to me some bullshit went down but that there were 15 saying oh my mind changed in either direction right after seeing the muller report uh is interesting i didn't i didn't i felt i mean i't know. I live in a fucking bubble where it's just me and a talking bong every day. So this is, yeah, I thought there are people a little more malleable at least with how they're seeing it.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Do you see me as a talking bong? Is that like a cartoon, like a starving person in a cartoon sees a ham, a talking ham. You see me as a talking bong? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, Toki, stop. a ham a talking ham you see me as a talking yeah yeah yeah come on toki stop um well yeah this whole report has i think just shown a lot of frustrations on the left too uh especially around like impeachment because now like all the takes are starting to come in where it seems like more pundits are being like yeah i think maybe it's time to try this impeachment thing out because
Starting point is 00:42:23 it's very clear that this person is violating the law and that's why it's there. And then you still have certain people who just feel like in the name of politics, politically, it might not work. And either way you cut it, if you believe that it's politically not a viable option considering that he could be voted out, that's more of an indictment on how the system is working right now. That even when we're presented with facts of a president doing,
Starting point is 00:42:52 committing crimes or what looks like something that would amount to criminal behavior, that people are still like, ah, do we do the thing we're like constitutionally like empowered to do? But you know, I don't want it to blow up because you know right it'd be bad for us to be awkward sauce yeah and it's like well then we were fucking
Starting point is 00:43:10 up because the whole point is like oh we're as a check on this branch we're saying this something needs to be done we're just in uh it's it i think it's showing just kind of generally that there's we're having trouble finding consensus because you have a lot of people especially like I mean Elizabeth Warren is like yeah I think we need to impeach him right and a few many other people are sort of doing the diet version of full-throated being like we need to impeach him saying well let's talk to Robert Mueller first right and I think yeah I think that's valid too to hear from his in his own words. But yeah, I mean, I think the Democrats hesitancy is based on the late nineties and the Republicans trying to impeach Clinton and how that basically backfired and made people feel sorry for Clinton.
Starting point is 00:43:54 And he left office with a higher approval rating than he had ever had basically. Also because America was at the end of just a absurd string of good luck and in terms of the economy and, you know, war and stuff like that. Right. Yeah. I don't know. It's a different, it's a different scenario. It does seem like there might be a way for Democrats to frame it where they're like, we know we're not going to get them impeached.
Starting point is 00:44:19 We know it's not going to be successful, but the American people deserve to know what the truth is. So we want to have these hearings to let it out in the open what actually happened. There's enough, again, there's enough smoke here. But it's tough, too. But then that's where you get the balance. I don't want all of the oxygen for the news attention span to be sucked up by trying to just keep hammering this point across, too. Because with the election coming up, there are so many other ways to get people energized about voting than just sort of being like, the Russia thing, the Russia thing, the Russia thing, the Russia thing. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:59 So it's going to be about finding a balance. But that's why I podcast and I don't get into politics. That's right. Yeah. I mean, Elizabeth Warren is somebody who is coming out strongly in favor of impeachment. And we've kind of covered repeatedly that she is the candidate who has the most detailed policies. And she just dropped another one about student debt and tuition. That's kind of a big deal.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Yeah. But it seems like, I don't know, for some reason, it seems like she's not making an impact. Like her overall rollout has been seen as a failure. People are too horny for many of the other candidates. Yeah, she wasn't at all in that list. Yeah, I know. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:45:43 That's like what is also very notable is that i mean the attention is a lot of it's going to biden and bernie and mayor pete right and sometimes bed o'rourke and then also speaking with the other candidates too but like the elizabeth for the amount of actual like policy stuff she's putting out there for you to be like this is the world I want to live in type shit. And you're like, hell yeah, man. Right. I fucking like that. Because right now she's basically saying, I'm going to fuck student debt up to the point that it is non-existent.
Starting point is 00:46:17 And you know what? Tuition can fuck off too. Yeah. Hell yeah. Her words, I believe, if you read her Medium posts. But her plan is really, it's fucking radical, baby. You know, cowabunga, because she's trying to erase basically 75% of people's debt completely. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:35 And further, like 95% of people who have debt would also gain some benefit from this program. To knock that kind of fucking debt out just like that frees people up in so many ways that i'm like this makes sense and when you also look at how people that are if you're like latinx or black you know we're disproportionately affected by student loan debt and predatory uh student loan practices and things like that so this is one of those things that has a benefit to all people but also at the same time, very specifically helps people that are particularly affected by the just fucked structure of, you would get $50,000 in student loan forgiveness. If you make more, then it goes progressively down up until $250,000 in income and no forgiveness if you're making over $250,000 because I think you can handle it at that point. So it's just one of those – I think it's a very sound plan and people, again, when they go, oh, well, how are you going to pay for it which is everyone's right battle cry when people are trying to do something good for working people what the
Starting point is 00:47:50 fuck right um you know she's been saying the same thing about how she paid for this as a senator too like this is again this is something just like with bernie there are certain things in her wheelhouse that she has envisioned about being like oh how am i am I going to pay for it? We're going to tax the families who are worth more than $50 million. Right. Like the 75,000 families or earners who have that much wealth, those are the people who are going to be paying for it. That's so much money. Yeah, and even in my mind, I'm like, who the fuck?
Starting point is 00:48:18 I don't even know anybody. I mean, I don't know that many. I mean, Jack, I know you're worth like $48 million, so that's not going to affect you that much. Nowhere near $50. And I'm only at $37 million. So I'm kind of like, yeah, like who the fuck is that going to affect? Is that 75,000 families?
Starting point is 00:48:32 Is that what you said? 75. Yeah, that's essentially where all that have $50 million plus. Jesus Christ. Right. So that's, again, I like this. Also, she's putting $50 billion of funding into historical black colleges and universities to make them more affordable so that they're comparable to nearby schools. And that's another – I drilling and things like that. She's putting out
Starting point is 00:49:06 a portrait of a future of a country that I feel like most people, they really need to pay attention to. That is something worth talking about more. And I'll do a better job of talking about picking up Elizabeth Warren when I can. But it's just been, yeah, I think this is a good, good presentation for people. Because even if you're not fully interested in all the wonkiness of it, if you just hear, this is a plan to forgive debt and to make also on top of that, make education free, higher education. I think all people can agree that that's something beneficial. You're a monster if you're not behind that. Well, what's funny is there are takes where someone basically came out and said it would be a slap in the face.
Starting point is 00:49:46 No, it was in the Washington Examiner, of course. Philip Klein says, Elizabeth Warren's plan to cancel student loan debt would be a slap in the face to all those who struggled to pay off their loans. That's like an anti-Me Too movement type sentiment. Where you're like, progress? Right. Fuck that. Not when I had to go through all that shit yeah it's like i'm sorry so you on some level you should suffer like yeah so you're
Starting point is 00:50:10 outraged you do acknowledge they're suffering that right right and now you're just being selfish because unfortunately you had to endure the predatory systems of capitalism that got you there and now you're being you're trying to pull up the ladder. Right. Yeah. It builds character. Yeah, exactly. But tell that to people who are literally upside down on their student loan debts and are just barely keeping their heads above water because they have to keep servicing this debt that they have. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Yeah. And, I mean, I think Elizabeth Warren is making a lot of people say I like that.
Starting point is 00:50:43 And I think Elizabeth Warren is making a lot of people say I like that. But in just as high pitched a voice as you said it for I feel like it's people being like she's they associate her with Hillary because she was like a big proponent of Hillary in 2016. And because she's a white woman and like there's just like that linkage. People are like, well, she's going to she's not electable. Yeah. Well, they need to get they need to let go like that linkage. People are like, well, she's not electable. Yeah, well, they need to let go of that shit. Yeah. Because I'm sure, again, on a debate stage too, I'm hoping she can shell the fucking stage down. I feel like she might.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Can at least hear in her own words the vision that she has for the country. Because I think that's what I want to see more idea-based debate around these candidates rather than like, hey, this guy's pretty cool. Platitudes. Yeah. All right. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered.
Starting point is 00:51:48 There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:45 I mean, between, you know, killing unarmed black young men and his domestic violence cases, I'm having trouble understanding why he shouldn't die alone. Right. But he's, I guess, really making a go at it on Tinder.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Yeah. If you don't know who George Zimmerman is, he's the person who shot Trayvon Martin. Yep. And, you know and he's the person who shot trayvon martin yep um and you know he's uh fucking george zimmerman is trying to fucking date i don't even know i'm i'm gobbling and he was caught basically using a fake name which is why he got kicked off rather than putting george zimmerman murder of Trayvon Martin. He calls himself Carter. And he describes himself as a consultant, self-employed consultant, went to
Starting point is 00:56:30 Liberty University. But let me read you his profile because people got screen grabs of this before it was taken down. I'm looking for carefree fun. I love the outdoors. George Zimmerman's a fuckboy? Yeah. He's a softboy. He even chose a fuckboy name, Carter. I love the outdoors. George Zimmerman's a fuckboy? Yeah. He's a softboy. Yeah, I guess so. He's a softboy.

Starting point is 00:57:04 Those are the things I'm thinking the things i don't want to be around people who might go yo is that george zimmerman the guy who shot trayvon martin right yeah yeah yeah uh very he has like the interest of a serial killer yeah uh very interesting to look at but then he like the pictures in it like one's like him shirtless another he's like holding a dog to soften his look i guess yeah uh and then like apparently he's been he was on bumble and he was kicked off bumble huh and he was also he's been on like okay cupid to someone got screen grabs of his like messages on okay cupid where he this is someone legitimately i'm i'm not i can't totally verify but, but I'm assuming this is probably the legitimate item.
Starting point is 00:57:48 He messaged a woman. Hi, you're very pretty. I'm fairly new on here. It's led to a few cool women and some great dates. One of my best dates was going ice skating for my first time ever. I busted my ass quite a few times. She burst out laughing each time and the ice kept me from bruising. How does that work?
Starting point is 00:58:04 Oh, because it is cold. Then he does like a, the emoji is like an alien smiling face. What the fuck? That's fucked up. Well, it's a regular smiley face, but whatever fucked up OS he's using made it look fucking creepy. And then it says, what's your best slash funniest first date been? And then the person responded, there isn't a special dating app for like you and Casey Anthony?
Starting point is 00:58:28 Holy shit. Holy shit. This also, his boilerplate message salvo of like, you know, he just has this in his notes app. Just being like, what's been your first funniest date? It's like, I don't know, talking to a pariah like you? Anyway, so just so you know. Shout out to you, Carter.
Starting point is 00:58:48 You've been booted from Tinder where all the other soft boys are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And finally, let's check in with the Game of Thrones universe. Okay, everybody. This is if you're not into your spoilers or whatever, now's the time to basically, I don't know, maybe just end the episode. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:06 And you're going to actually miss out on some other things that Jack and I are going to talk about that are very secret proprietary information about the show.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Yes. But if you don't want anything Game of Thrones related in your ear, just leave. Just get out of here. We're about to fucking go into the crypt right now.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Go on. Get. Go. Now. All right, if you haven't turned off at this point, fuck you. I don't love you anymore. All right, sorry. And If you haven't turned off at this point, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:59:25 I don't love you anymore. All right. Sorry. And if you haven't turned off at this point, guess what? Aria be fucking. I know. Oh, sorry. You heard that if you tried to skip ahead.
Starting point is 00:59:33 You should have skipped ahead and listened. Where do you start? So Aria had a sex scene. There we go. With Gendry. They were making. Gendry. Gendry.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Gendry. Oh, that made me so happy. They were making eyes at each other for the whole season thus far. And she was watching him pour that molten steel. She's like, oh, look at his little muscles coming out of his burlap sleeveless tee he's wearing. A lot of people, I know in the group that I was watching it, everybody was like, how old is she? How old is she immediately? I was thinking that too.
Starting point is 01:00:07 She's 11 when the show starts, or the character is 11 years old. Right. And apparently, so her character is supposed to be 20. What? Yeah. No. Yeah. 20?
Starting point is 01:00:19 Yeah. They say that- Nine years have passed in Game of Thrones time. Right. And the actress is 22. You thought she was supposed to be younger? I thought like 16. Oh.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Oh, at this point? Yeah. Yeah, I think that's probably what most people were thinking. Yeah. Because that's how people, that was the number one trending thing during the show. Well, I was like, if brothers can fuck sisters, like I guess a 16-year-old can. Right, right. brothers can fuck sisters like I guess a 16 year old can I mean I'm just the episode look we're clearly
Starting point is 01:00:48 building up to every MF dying on this show cause I was everything just felt like a eulogy for the characters it all felt like here we're gonna give you an episode to say goodbye because the next episode is Battle of Winterfell
Starting point is 01:01:04 which is the one we've talked about in basically every time we've talked about this season because it's supposedly an hour and a half, the longest battle in the history of TV. Oh, my God. Or the longest battle scene ever filmed. What? Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I know that's supposed to be like the one that everyone's stoked on, but I'm like, oh, that just sounds like the most boring episode to me now. What, the long battle? I don't want to see a battle forever. This episode stressed me out because in a weird way, I felt the same sense of dread that everyone was kind of sort of shoving down and being a bit in denial about. On the show, you mean?
Starting point is 01:01:43 Yeah, like these dudes are about to pull up to Winterfell. Yeah. And I'm not sure we are going to survive. Yeah. And so everything like... It almost made me like want to check out from the episode because I was like a little bit in denial for like the existential threat that they're facing
Starting point is 01:01:58 to be like, I don't know, man. I'm like, let's go on my phone really quick because it's like I don't want to acknowledge like... Yeah. And that's when I know I'm like, shit, like I really am fucking invested. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point because I do go on my phone once.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Shit is stressing me out on TV. I think that's the way we deal with anxiety. Just check out. Change focus. Like switch my focus a little bit. But yeah, it seems like this was everybody basically having a chance to, I mean, yeah. Some people more than others, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:29 I actually liked this episode a lot. And the people I was watching it with were like, when the fuck's the battle going to happen? When's the fucking? Get the battle. Get the battle going. And they were all women. So it wasn't just a bunch of dudes being like, let's fucking fight. All the soft boys I was with were like, yo, when are they going to fuck?
Starting point is 01:02:48 Right, right. And by that, that's what we call fighting. I'm waiting for an orgy. Oh, shit. White Walker orgy? Like in the crypt or something? That's the other thing. So everybody has had the same thought.
Starting point is 01:03:00 I was having it over and over during last night's episode. They keep talking about sending everybody down to the crypt for safety. But Jon Snow has watched the Night King raise a bunch of dead people. Make a gesture. Be like, in the crypt. Right. Activate. So then you have a bunch of people just waking up while the women and children are down there.
Starting point is 01:03:20 But it's going to be like Ned Stark and shit. Yeah. It's going to be like their relatives. He got no head, though. Well, that's the thing I'm wondering. After like eight years, it's just skeletons? Or what's left? Maybe it's just a bunch of goo. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:37 But then what does that look like? Maybe a few fingernails. Yeah. Could you imagine? Just a couple of fingernails? Just like, what the fuck? It looks like a little fly. Oh, it's a sentient fingernail.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Yeah, there's that I wondered about. I think there's also a little bit to give a little bit more ammo to your theory about Jon versus Daenerys showdown, throwdown, fire. Yeah. Because after he's like, yo, I got to be real with you, Ma. My real name is Aegon Targaryen. And she wasn't even like, wait, I'm your
Starting point is 01:04:12 aunt? Right. And you had your mouth all over me? Uh-huh. Versus just being like, oh, so you have a claim to the Iron Throne. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. So you're really trying to pull up with that energy, Jon Snow? You know why I googled Jon Snow and then Softboy? Because I'm prettyled Jon Snow and then soft boy? Because I'm pretty sure Jon Snow is a soft boy.
Starting point is 01:04:28 That's my theory. He's soft boy? He's a soft boy. He's just always finding a new way out. He's like, oh, I can't date you because you're my aunt. I love it. Hey, what soft boy hasn't used that game, the best ghosting tactic ever? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:46 I'm going to tell you something. My real name is Aegon Targaryen. Yeah. I think you're my aunt. It's like, just be emotionally available for once, Jon. My name's Alison Stevenson. What the fuck that got to do with me? Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 01:04:56 All right. You're my aunt. But when she said, when she was like, oh, so you are like the secret heir to the Iron Throne and the only two people who know about her are your best friend and your brother. I was like, wait, that is suspicious as fuck. Yeah. That's some fake news shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:15 I mean, we know it's true, but if you were her and you heard that, you'd be like, all right. Yeah. All right. WikiLeaks. Yeah. Right. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:05:22 What else you got? Guccifer. Right. It's almost like- Oh, so Guccifer found the email that said you're my fucking nephew. Uh-huh. What else you got? Guccifer. Right. Oh, so Guccifer found an email that said you're my fucking nephew? Uh-huh. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:31 So you, your freaky ass brother who doesn't say shit, who's already a motherfucking weirdo. I told you I don't like him near me. I'm pretty sure he watches me
Starting point is 01:05:39 like undress. I don't know how. Because his eyes be rolling back in his head. That third eye. Yeah. He's like, what's he doing when his eyes get like that?
Starting point is 01:05:46 That'd be amazing. If every time she takes her clothes off or like goes to the bathroom, his eyes. He's a fucking creep. And the whole season turns into a bit about being an intervention about brand being a fucking, just being a fucking boy. What's he doing?
Starting point is 01:06:03 I'm sorry. The three eyed Raven. Yeah. I'm just being a fucking creep. Yo, boy, what you doing? What the fuck? I'm sorry, the three-eyed raven. Yeah. So Bran gonna be out here as bait? I mean, I think Bran's probably, if I had to guess, Bran's a goner in the next episode. No, he can't be. Why? He's a three-eyed raven.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Yeah, who cares? I mean, he's freaky. I don't know. He has to exist. Yeah, who knows? That's the thing. Theon's dead don't know. He has to exist. Yeah, who knows? That's the thing. Theon's dead. I think Theon's dead.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Oh, Theon's dead as shit. Theon's dead. And Brienne. I think Brienne is also a goner. Oh, yeah, Brienne Tartt. She's going to be gone. Yeah, got knighted. Yeah, that was her like boom.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yo, when Podrick sang that song, I was like, oh, he's gone. Oh, yeah. I threw money at my TV like he was busking. I was like, yo, do that one again. I mean, this is them addressing specifically my critique of last season. They heard me, and they decided to address it. You mean when you stripped nude in front of HBO headquarters, screaming? And was like, I need an Aria sex scene.
Starting point is 01:07:00 I was saying, and I think a lot of people said, last season was too much, too fast. It was like a battle, and then the guy runs back beyond the wall when I was saying and I think a lot of people said like last season was too much too fast it was like a battle and then the guy runs back beyond the wall and like gets the dragons and they come back in like five minutes and it's like wait there was like so much time to get to know these characters in the past like I feel like this was them taking the time and like letting you have the time with the characters and the characters to have time with each other. Yeah. I think it made for a very emotional episode.
Starting point is 01:07:29 Not to take anything away from their acting, but I felt like for the first time, I'm like, this is finite now. Yeah. And I'm going to see things I didn't think I was going to see. And who knows what kind of gnarly-ass gruesome death some of these people are going to suffer. And you like that wasn't right yeah yeah and then keep it moving um D.B. Weiss and Benioff just left their way to the bank I mean I've said from the beginning of
Starting point is 01:07:54 the season the only people I care about are Arya and Samwell I feel like Arya like if this was any other show her losing her virginity would be like, oh, then she's going to die in the next episode. Because like that's how fiction works for some reason. But I feel like that they wouldn't do that. I don't see Arya dying. Yeah. I don't see any. What if they're just like, you know what?
Starting point is 01:08:15 This is what's so funny. Everyone goes, I don't see them dying. And then who knows? What if nobody dies? Yeah. Hey, look, I'm ready. Everyone's like, oh, this one's going to die. This one's going to die.
Starting point is 01:08:24 What if like, they're like, fuck you. You think you know what we're going to do? like oh this one's gonna die this one's gonna die what if like they're like fuck it you think you know what we're gonna do no no one's dead fuck you actually crossover episode with Barney
Starting point is 01:08:30 the purple dinosaur only Cersei dies and no one else I think it would be great if somehow just of a stroke yeah she just faints
Starting point is 01:08:40 and falls she's like oh shit she hit her head on the way down damn she slipped on her own dress I mean yeah it's funny because at the beginning I was like,
Starting point is 01:08:47 I want everybody dying. And then I saw that episode and I was like, I don't want anybody to die, bro. Do they got to die? Right. Yeah, maybe that's it. I just don't want anyone to die. No, no one ever really dies.
