Hey guys, it's AZ Fudd. You may know me as a gold medalist. You may know me as an NCAA national champion. You may even know me as the People's Princess. Every week on my new podcast, Fud around and find out. I'll be talking to some special guests about pop culture, basketball, and what it's like to be a professional athlete on and off the court. Listen to Fun Around and Find Out, a production of IHeart women's sports in partnership with unanimous media on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1920, a magazine article announced something incredible.

Two young girls had photographed real fairies. But even more incredible, that article was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who invented Sherlock Holmes. How did he fall for that? Hoax is a new podcast from me, Dana Schwartz, the host of Noble Blood. And me, Lizzie Logan. Every episode, we'll explore one of the most audacious and ambitious tricks in history and try to answer the question, why we believe, what we believe.

Listen to Hoax on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the weekly zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment, laugh stravaganza. Uh, yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Well, look, Pala V, we are very, very honored today to have a very fantastic guest. Uh, look, this is, we have. illustrious guests. We have people that are better than us on usually. And this today's guest is

no different. Okay, this man is actually the first South American comedian to shoot an original comedy special for Netflix. Uh, as a writer, is a director. Okay, out here acting, out here making comedic films, out here making comedic specials. Now, if you speak Spanish, you might be very familiar with his stand-up comedy work already, but if you are like me and only speak a little bit of Spanish because you grew up in L.A. and it's not enough. to functionally understand a full Spanish language comedy set, you're in luck because his first English language comedy special is out now. It's called From the Future. Please welcome to the microphone, the famous, the talented, the hilarious Fabricio Copano.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm just having fun listening to you guys. Oh, no, no. I'm just going to stay in silence the entire time. Just going to be here quietly. Please don't. You're too funny to do that. He's like playing that weird king game on.

his phone the whole time. Wait, what's the King game? Don't you see those like celebrities playing the, aren't they like kings? You know what I'm talking about. Wait, I know what you're talking. I don't think it's a real game. I think he's always like an ad that never needs to a real game. Yeah, I feel that way about like the dirty girl where she has like the hair and like you have

to get her ready or whatever and then bad things happen to her. There's so many of these weird spams that show up in other games. You have a child. You don't understand what the hell we're talking about. I know about online slop games. games that are ads that then when you try and download it, that's not the fucking game. I just never heard of the dirty girl one. You've never heard of like the dirt, the one with the dirty girl where she like shaves and

then her boyfriend cheats on her and she's crying and stuff. Are you for real? I think the algorithm just send that to you. Yeah. I think they know that it's for you. No, like her name is Pahlavi and she's like trying to follow her dreams and then she can't. And like she's definitely in Europe right now. Her boyfriend's like gallivanting around Europe having fun.

In Barcelona right now. Yeah. Stop doxing him. I was hitting him up. I gave him some recommendations. Wait, so the king, okay, is that, I know, because the other one, there's the one where, like, all the soldiers go through them gates and then, like, they multiply and they're shooting shit and then, like, a big fucking goblin comes out. No, this one's, like, like, a goofy king. And recently they came out with, like, another weird king.

And, like, celebrities are pushing the ads on this. Have you seen this, Fabrizio? Like, where, like, celebrities are, like, advertising these types of games. I'm like, this is a sign of the recession. I mean, what kind of celebrities are we talking about? The ones we're waiting outside Freaky Fridays? No. Wow!

Are you coming for a straight-up child? Hey, you know, anybody can get fucking, they can get hip with a stray out here. They can take him down. I didn't want to say you can get touched out here because I didn't want to think. No, don't do that. Yeah, that nomenclature did not really apply well to that situation. However, Fabrizio, your special is fantastic. For that being your first.

English language? I'm like, bro, this motherfucker's funny as hell. Was that, what was the process like for you being like, you know what? I've done it all in Spanish. Now let me come over here and now let people know how funny I can be in English. Was that daunting? Or did it just feel like a natural progression? Because I, I surmised, as you said in your special, you are married to an American. You are now a citizen. And was that just sort of a natural process or was that something you're kind of like had a goal to do? I mean, I think as a comic, you want to be in like,

the most, in the most challenging side of the business. So I always assumed that New York was the place to be, you know, because of all this comedy specials and all the mythology around comedy. So I wanted to go to New York, do comedy English, and prove myself that I was able to do it. And, yeah, I started thinking about that when I was 13 or something. And I truly starting the process a couple of years ago of like, okay, I think I can do an hour. You know, I think it can put together an hour. And, yeah, I mean, the funny thing is like, I started, like, translating jokes because I thought it was the way to go, you know, and then I realize, like, not really.

So now I have, like, two sets in my brain, like one for South America, one for the U.S., and some jokes overlap, but it's kind of have two different brains. Right, right, right. For comedy. Yeah, for comedy. Yeah, for comedy. Not the rest of the time, the rest of the time, I have half one, but for comedy, have two. Yeah, that's good. That's like, if you use, like, more than 10% of your.

brain, you could do comedy in other languages. Did you guys see? Exactly. I mean, you need to get some proteins that we're selling at the end of the show. Yeah, yeah. Some vitamins that this. And yes, we will be plugging your nutraceuticals at the end. I told you, and I think I told your manager, we would have time to plug your

nutraceuticals at the end of that episode. Myeligal vitamins, I call them. Yes, yes. If you take them every morning. Can you tell us something from your search history that's revealing about who you are or what you were into right now? I recently searched Las Vegas ayahuasca. Okay. Okay.

I mean, they're going to pull that sword out of that rock in Excalibur. I don't know. Do they have that at Excalibur? Yeah. That was the hymn when it first opened. Yeah, you have to, we went to that place when it first opened as kids. That was 1990, I think. Yeah.

And we were like, take us to Excalibur, Camelot. It was a whole thing. We couldn't get it out. We suck. Yeah. Ayahuasca, maybe. So you're looking, are there people doing guided experiences with ayahuasca? A lot of white people.

They have cornered the space on healing. Yeah, of course. Look what I discovered on a trip to the Ample. You discovered this. Native white people have found all the things. They call themselves a tribe now. They do monthly sessions. You can do like a divine feminine.

session where it's just the ladies tripping out together in a safe space. Ladies, I can't hear you. You're vomiting from the fucking sweat and shit. Yeah. Are you interested? Is that why you, okay.

What are you, what are you hoping to find on your psychedelic journey? Honestly, I think I'd like to stop, give it a fuck about what people think. Yeah, yeah, break the ego. Yeah, that's probably my biggest problem, because I talk a lot of shit. Then I'm like, that was bad. Oh, no, regret.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stand 10 toes down and my delusions like everybody else does. I know. I want that confidence, too. I like overthank everything, and I'm loud as hell. Yeah, it's like a hindrance. I just wanted to be like, this is where I's at, and you don't have to like me. Please like me?

Like, that's what I'm at right. I'm like, I'm tired of caring if people like me or not. When I feel like most people don't anyway, so... Fuck it. Well, we love you. Yeah. Everyone says that, but no one calls. Aw.

Could you imagine? Lo-key, I'm texting Palli. I'm like, I hate that Sean is back on this show. I can't stand her ass. Why do I keep calling her back? The most engagement on my Instagram stories is like, I'm sad today. People are like, oh, my God, you have so many people who love you. I'm like, well, hello.

Where's my life? Wait, okay. Here's the thing. I'm feeling lonely, too, with, like, friends and shit. And I was just telling Miles, we need to do, like, a sleepover friend trip, something. Like, I miss the informality of, like, college when you just would hang out with people and everybody's being silly and fun. It's just wild. I think it's hard in L.A.

I think about, like, truly, like, when I was at my brokest, living at my mom's, I'm like 26, and I would just hit up my friend. I'm like, what you doing? They're like, nothing. I'm like, I'm going to come through. They're like, all right. And that was it. That was it.

And then being in the same space with somebody is also just fine. You don't have to even go anywhere. No. It's like, we're commuting. They're like, yeah. They're like, you're on the subway. They're like, I'll hit you back. Bring me a, bring me a meatball sub.

I'm like, fine, fine, fine. But you have to pay the meatball subs tax to hang out with your friends. No, but then I'd be like, all right, well then roll up a blunder. Like, there would be some kind of even exchange or something. Yeah. I, like, I think now, like, so many people are like married, having kids, whatever. And then I feel like if I ask, it'll be weird. it'll be like facetiming without texting first.

You know what I mean? Like that's, I'm like, if I were to just be like, hey, Miles, do you want to like, can I come over and hang out? You'd be like, well, no. Because we don't have that relationship, right? And everybody's like, needs their space, you know? So I always feel weird. Like, and then I'll, and then I'll, like, ask friends to, like, coffee and stuff.

But one time I had a friend that was like, you seem depressed at coffee, so I stopped wanting to go to coffee. Oh, shit. shit. Dang. That's why I'm depressed, you jerk. I know. Help me get out of it, you doof-ball. So now I'm self-conscious about that, where I'm like, am I, are people being weird with me? Like, do they do weird? I have a home girl, too, like, where a lot of people in our friend groups are getting booed up or married or having kids and stuff. So, like, the vibe, obviously the vibes change drastically

now. People have so many more like existential things that they have to address. But it got to a point, I'm like, just hit us up. Like, honestly, at a certain point, We're just kicking it at the house. So if you want to come through and you want to play with the kid or whatever, like, we're here. I really don't mind. Like, let's just do that because it's not like I've, at that point, when you're like parenting and stuff, you kind of want people in the house and, you know, having more fun. When I travel for comedy, it's kind of easier because I have friends from like undergrad,

grad school of kids and then I can crash with them. And then I get to like help with the kid in the morning, you know, like being auntie. Yeah. But it's hard. Like in the city where you live is hard. Sorry, Shana. It's, I hear what everybody's saying, but it's all like, if you like people to come to your house, you should be like, hey, come over. I feel like a lot of times the single person with no

responsibility has to always reach out to everybody else because our lives aren't as busy. And it's like, I don't have anything to do today. It's kind of a bummer. So if you'd like to hang out, you'd say, hey, you want to come hang out? You're like, you know what I do. There's also that with like family stuff too. Like if you're like this single more flexible person, you have to go wherever the babies are. You have to like, you're just always, like, you have to go. Everything is deferred to, like, whoever has the baby. The youngest kid.

She has a child. It's more expensive for her to travel and you have more flexibility. But then you have to travel like eight times and, like, you're fucking, you don't have a support system in the same way. Right. I'm broke and alone. What is something you think is underrated? I think I've been reading recently about just what the American public

knows. And I think if you know any basic facts about, like, which party controls Congress or like what is a freedom in the first amendment, like anybody who knows an incredibly basic thing about the country's government, you're in the minority of Americans. What are we saying? How like, what percentile are we hitting if I'm like, if I can tell you like three amendments? It's the main one I looked at it was just, do you know which party controls Congress? And apparently recent surveys, it's around 68 percent of Americans. Americans knew. And then back in the 1960s, it was a little bit lower, which is amazing. I would have thought social media would have made us less smart about that. Wait, 68% of the country

knows who's in control of Congress right now? Yeah. Yeah, like every election, I feel like there's a lot of scuttle butt in the news of like, now that this seat went to this party, it'll change this perception of what Congress. Nobody actually knows any of that. Like the few people who do probably have a party picked out and everyone else is just vibing. So if you know anything, great job you're smarted you've done a good job but i feel like part of that is everything is hell so like us like trying to pay our like people can't memorize like numbers and amendments when they're trying to like pay their bills and survive you know what i mean like but we i mean enough people know who kind of to be angry at you know what i mean in terms of directing their anger towards a

party so i guess in that sense but maybe it doesn't go further than that i feel like people are angry at everybody yeah that's true i mean yeah How many people are still just like, fucking Biden? You're like, what? People are saying that seriously still. Well, they, I mean, even the timeline of like COVID, they blame like Biden for all of COVID, even though Trump was president for the first.

Yeah, that was even happening when they were saying that Obama was in charge of the Epstein sweetheart deal and shit too. People were like, no, it was George Bush, you fucking losers. Get a fucking, get a calendar. You know what I mean? But really, like Obama. behind all of this for the last I wish Obama I wish it was that elegantly solvable I wish it was one person yeah yeah you know what fuck is just go back to George Washington okay just

yeah where you get your teeth from bitch I know they're not wooden okay okay that's woke making me admit that they were slave teeth is woke so we're gonna keep saying these are made of wood gross dude that's that's also really gross dude you're just bullying George Washington Like, fucking nasty ass, palatosis ass mouth. Go to Turkey, fool. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. We left Britain and then to solve the teeth problem.

You took them from slaves. What's under this hat? Oh, that's a wig? Oh, my God. Oh, what is that? When I move your hair, it's dusted up in here. You've had some ashy-ass hair, dude. It's dandruff, my lady.

Oh, shit, George Washington. Okay. I would not be a lady. I would probably be a slave back then, too. No, we'd be freaking him out because we'd be dressed like this and we could say. Yeah, we'd be like, bro. I feel like, is that a key and peel sketch or something? Everything's a key and peel sketch.

Everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just a good way to default. Eat shit, Chappelle. Everything's a key and peel sketch. Everything is key and peel or in living color. Who knows? What is something you think is overrated, Tim?

Guy Montgomery and I do a podcast called in just like that, which you kindly mentioned at the start. It is famous for us watching sort of bad movies too many times. We've reviewed Grownips 2, 52 times, and both the Sex and the City movies, 52 times apiece. Worst idea of all time is what it's called, right? Yes, fittingly. And most recently, we have been watching and just like that season 3 in real time.

I've put that as overrated almost just as a little opportunity to give it a shout out because that has there's two things going on in my life right now my two beautiful boys and Sarah Jessica Parker and her friends and what they're getting up to in their middle age on and just like that it's just been announced that the entire the the whole concept of the sex in the city universe is ending with this thing this is it this is how they're going out that's right and they didn't know that at the start of this so this is the third season of and just like that, which is sort of set I don't know, roughly like 15

years after the last time we saw the gals. Samantha Jones is kind of famously not in this show. Right. And it has just been amazing watching them groping around in the dark over three seasons trying to figure out

how to get back into the zeitgeist effectively. Carrie Bradshaw had a podcast with Bobby Lee at one point. Shea Diaz is the non-binary character who got with Miranda and they had this very sort of complicated relationship as

Miranda's trying to figure out who she is. And everyone hated Chey-D-S too. I've heard that character was just like, it was like, God, I can't stand Cheez-Eas. Well, that's the thing. And it made it very tricky, right? Because they were the most diverse character on the show and also the most easily hateable.

They were also a stand-up comedian and you did get privy to some of Shays stand-up. And they were not Oh, good. Yeah. Never a good. We're not great.

One decision to put it on spring. Oh, man. Well, and then I just saw in this season, too, like, to your point about they don't know what the fuck's going on, how Nicole Ari Parker's, like, father died, like, in the first season. Yeah. And then also died in the third season. Like, hold on.

That was in season. What the fuck? Do you all even know what happened to your own show? In her previous season, she's bonding, I think, with Miranda at one point, and says, like, oh, you know, yeah, it was so hard when, when. my dad died a couple of years ago. And then in this season, there is an entire episode dedicated to the fact that her dad just dies and then we go to the funeral and everything.

And then when everyone rightly called this out online, they were like, what the fuck is going on here? They, not even in the show, but just I think Michael Patrick King came out and wrecked it as being like, oh no, one of them was his stepdad. We just forgot to say that out loud, something like that. But also, it's, this isn't just that. Like, Carrie Bradshaw has been claiming that she's been with Aden for 22 years, which is just not true. Like, Big was there.

At the beginning of this run. And then some allegations came out against Chris Knoth, who's the actor that portrays them. So they killed him by Palaton, which in real life, like, tanked Palaton's share price briefly when that episode aired. And then Big has been erased from history. And now they're trying to pretend like Aiden's been on the scene. for two decades. Come on, guys, we've been watching. Wasn't he, like, go fool us like that?

Wasn't he trying to get with him? And he was like, no, I got to be with my family, like with my kids or something. I felt like that was happening in the first, whatever. But he's in the regular sex in the city? Big? No, no, no. No, no. Oh, Ian.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I tell you what my was. That just disappeared. I'm glad you're on board because you're talking to the right guy. I'm so thick in the weeds with this shit. The reason it's kind of interesting at the moment is they have. one episode left of all of the whole Sex and the City thing now because HBO, who I don't even know, who eventually it's probably Mickey Mouse, I guess, owns everything.

So whoever at the top has decided, we've got to pull the plug on this thing. This is not going well. It's costing us too much money. So mid-season, they've announced that this is it for everything forever. And now we've got one last episode to wrap up approximately 1,000 storylines that they've opened up across this season of the show. It's been like a really ADHD

approach to television making. Yeah. It just opened things up and never returned to them and there's a thousand characters living a thousand lives. Amazing. Is there anything they could do in the final episode? Like could it all have been happening

inside Carrie's mind and she's like kind of lost it or something like that? Yeah. So they're like, that was all Intentional. Them fixing the gas leak would be the most hilarious cop-out solution to all of this. Right, right, right. Everyone has been a figment of her imagination.

They've also done this thing, which they did in the movie. So Guy and I obviously watched Sex and the City 2, 52 times. And there is, who is it? Hold on. Let me bring this up. Have I got the right movie? Because now, because I've watched both movies, I combined 100 times, they also go together in my head.

So I've really got to get this right. Jennifer Hudson is in the first movie as a friend of Carrie Bradshaw, but she doesn't interact with any other characters in the film. So Guy and I developed a law that she is an imaginary friend of Carrie Bradshaw. And not for nothing, she's basically the only black person in the movie. In this television series, I think they've taken a lot of criticism about it being such a white show. Right. So they've added a lot of diverse characters.

But in some form of sex in the city entropy, the central black characters are now fully just like away from the other characters living totally separate TV shows. So Lisa Toad Wexley and her family, they don't really interact with the rest of the woman anymore. It's kind of a weird. And then Seema as well is this character they've brought in to introduce to sort of take the place of Samantha Jones.

And originally she was sort of with the guy. But now as well, she's for the last bit of this season, just drifted off into her own show. So we're back to the core white women sticking together. And like, it's a challenge writing for a thousand characters that you've introduced on a TV show. But they've sort of drifted into bad old racist secrets. Yeah, they're like, Jesus, they end the show. We couldn't write a diverse show of our fucking lives depended on it. And they tried.

They really tried. Is there, is there room for a fan? theory where the 9-11? Because they didn't, yeah, did they not, they didn't acknowledge nine. Hold on, okay, sorry, sorry, I'll let Jack finish. Did they acknowledge 9-11? I think there was like a subtle thematic tip of the cap to 9-11,

but I don't think 9-11 actually happened within the Sex and the City universe. Could this be an alternate timeline where 9-11 doesn't happen? And so all, this is just like the Clinton world, you know, The Clinton version of America, moving forward, just unencumbered. To tease this out, so there's no 9-11, there's no Iraq invasion, there's no rally around the flagpole effect, which I think means John Kerry, right? Maybe John Kerry. Yeah, he would have been running against Bush.

Although he might not have been running against Bush because the reason they went with him was because he was like a wartime guy. So would it, I don't know, it's hard to tease out how exactly. But maybe that's, instead of like thinking of plot continuity, they were just trying to figure out the politics. It is tricky to reverse engineer how the political timeline would have worked. The most significant event of our lifetime. We got to get their red string out real quick.

The producer says that they panned to the, the Twin Towers at the end of the season that was recorded prior to 9-11 as like the tip of the cap. Yeah. So that could, but that just implies that they still exist because that aired after 9-11. So they were like, and we get it, guys. And just so you know, they never got knocked down. Well, that's our way of dealing.

I've never seen the TV show, so I can't, I can't speak to that. I had to watch the TV show for a previous job, like all episodes. What did you think? And what was the job? that you hit. I was working at ABC News and Diane Sawyer was interviewing, I think, the cast around the final episode. Jack, I need you to watch every single episode of Sex in the City and get me prepped. I had to like log it and just go through and be like that this happens here, just like write a little episode summary of each one for some reason. Dude, I think those exist.

Yeah, one of my other notes was 9-11 question mark. I was like, don't be a coward, Diane. Fucking ask. Yeah. That is weird that they made me do that job. I could have just done that on like, maybe Wikipedia wasn't up and running back then. It was a long time ago.

Yeah. Anyways. Or maybe I just didn't know how to use the internet. What did you think of that? Sex and City episodes happened. People loved that show. Yeah. It definitely had a charm to it.

It was like fun. And like once you, like, are watching it, you get into the vibe of it. But I, you know, wasn't necessarily my thing. But like the jokes were, like, the jokes seemed like intentionally like kind of campy rather than funny, you know what I mean? Right. Like they were like kind of jokes about telling jokes a little bit.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's a very like quippy word play. Yeah, yeah. Everything is being done with a wink. But when it, you know, when the show, love the characters. When the show came out, I remember my. mom got sent like VHS screeners of sex in the city and like this is you know this fucking my mom would bring these VHS tapes to Japan to show her friends they're like there's this new show

sex in the city and I have so many memories of watching the first season with my mom and aunts on VHS in Japan in the hot summer and just being like all right so we're watching this together this is why it's interesting this is why like the movies being as bad as they were and And just like that being a hot mess is so interesting. Because the original show was genuinely, like, very culturally relevant. Oh, yeah. Beloved. Yeah.

My mom was bringing these. She was bringing these tapes around, like, it was like hip hop for the first. I was like, y'all heard this shit. And they were like, what the fuck? Like, mixed tapes. Yeah, for real. They're talking about blow jobs on the TV now. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

It's crazy. It was a moment. It was a moment. New York City. All right. We have to, we have to move on to the news. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about a very sex-in-the-city subject.

A subject that Carrie Bradshaw could be writing about her very self. We'll be right back. Should I fuck a crypto kingpin? Ah, come on. Why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient.

Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music? music or poetry and thought, that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense.

Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II. When they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Earn Malley in an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal trial. The Earn Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinated. notes poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana Schwartz.

Every episode, hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history from forged artworks to the original fake news to try and answer why we believe. Listen to hoax on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, it's AZ Fudd. You may know me as a gold medal. You may know me as an NCAA national champion and recent most outstanding player. You may even know me as a People's Princess, but now you're also going to know me as your favorite host.

Every week on my new podcast, fud around and find out, I'll give you an inside look at everything happening in my crazy life as I try to balance it all, from my travels across the globe to preparing for another run at the Natty with my Yukon Huskies to just try to make it to my midterms on time. You'll get the inside scoop on everything. I'll be talking to some special guests about pop culture, basketball, and what it's like to be a professional athlete on and off the court. You'll even get to have some fun with the fud family.

So if you follow me on social media or watch me on TV, you may think you know me. But this show is the only place where you can really fud around and find out. Listen to Fud Around and Find Out, a production of IHart Women's Sports and Partnership with Unanimous Media on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. and we're back um like i was saying up top uh we saw this in l a when uh los angeles was deemed a war zone with roving gangs and we had fucking there was remember that raid that happened in

mccArthur park where they're like you can't drop a boat into the fucking fake ass pond in macarthur park uh no boats and tactical assault teams must keep it to limit it no boats more like Showboats. Thank you. But like, we have this thing. That's my time, folks, honestly. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ.

I just start, like, sliding my hands across a soundboard, just every possible noise. Yeah. Oh, just all of them at once like this. Yeah. Here we go. Oh, there's no one. Hold on. Oh, my God, that was so loud.

I said off so many. I really enjoyed that. Yeah. That was good. And if you were curious, that was Joby Jobob by the Gypsy Kings. Okay. That's a goaded track. Shout out to the K-1.

Who also was in a date with that guy. So anyway, right now the playbook of we must make this peaceful city, I guess, appear to be some kind of hellhole in order to justify, you know, light martial law across the land. That's happening now. in Washington, D.C., unfortunately, like, with L.A., it was like, it's a war zone, and here is the two pictures of the Waymo cars on fire to prove it. And then you had people go like...

And I do it again. Right? And you have people, you have pundits going on TV to make up stories about how they saw a fucking MS-13 fentanyl baptism take place of Universal Studios, so I can't go there anymore. It was inside the minion. It was crazy. We can't go. Nintendo World, they just got fiends bent over, like folding chairs.

I saw Luigi and Nintendo World. He had a gun. He had a gun. Luigi Mangione was radicalized in Nintendo World. We sighed. We saw it. We know. We know.

That's why we must federalize Universal Studios, Hollywood. What's that dusting on the churros? That's fentany. That's fentanyl. Let me try it. Okay, it's cinnamon and sugar. I was wrong. I was wrong about that.

I will try every single other one. But let me get a taste of that one. It's such a weird scam. That's like such a weird. That's me as a cop trying to just get donuts. No, that's someone's dad who's a DEA agent who goes, let me just test that really quick. Let me see if this is, what are these drugs?

Dirty cops? Diabetes cop. Let me try another one. There's like, you have two. Good cop, bad cop. Yeah. So anyway, D.C. is now in the same, in the midst of their smear campaign. Just before I start, we've all been to D.C.

I fucking love Washington, D.C. Shout out to the Spy Museum that taught me about the pigeon that saved 200 people during World War II and also keeps getting misgendered. She's a queen, okay. Oh, okay, yeah. We love pigeons. We love pigeons. Shout out to sporty thieves, the rap group with us on no pigeons as a misogynist reply to TLC's No Scrubs. Whoa.

Yeah, yeah. I was on the wrong side. of history on that one. I did have that. Miles! I was singing no scrubs on the playground. I was on those, like, you know those metal bars where you could just, they just had them in the playground and you just spin around them? I was just like, I don't want no, no, no, just spinning. Mom, stop. The way starts off is, a pigeon is a girl who be walking by. My rim, the blue brand new spark with five. Her hurt, her feet hurt so she knows she won't ride, but she fronting like she can't say hi. What? Uh-oh. Look, that's not, I'm not proud of that.

sound fun though. That's what it was, uh-oh, y'all chicks ain't getting out of, uh-oh. And then it starts getting really problematic after that part. Yeah. Yeah. I want the kids' bob version so I can still enjoy it. Uh-oh, your downstairs ain't worth a ramada. Uh-oh.

I think that's would be the kids' bob. Look, again, it was 1999. I didn't know. I was 14 years old and I was, I was wrapping. And I hated women. I was 14 years old. I thought women were bad. I still do.

I still don't know. First of all, that's exactly because, you know, these females, what they do out here. No. These females. Females. So anyway, D.C. now has to be the focus of a total smear campaign. Pundits are doing shit like, the weed smell. There's so much weeds.

We talked about this yesterday. It's fucking weed smell, which is like, there's people of color around. It's bad that I feel safer when I smell weed. I'm like, oh. Oh, yeah. I'm like, these people. aren't calling the cops for nothing over here. They're not calling them at all because they don't trust.

We don't trust them. That's why. Yeah. I think it feels more like home. I hate cops. There you go. That's the only reason, though. They're always trying to catch me.

I love everything else they're doing. Yeah. If they just focus on something other than like serial arsonists. As Usher said, let it burn, you know? Jesus Christ. It's Friday, y'all. It's Friday. And we've lost our minds.

But again, this is just like they're trying to act like this is a city that no one in their right mind would visit. And, you know, to be fair, sure, all crimes, all cities have crime. But like the way, the most effective ways to address crime that, you know, experts talk about all the time, which is like, you know, maybe less police presence, more investment in social services, better wages, affordable housing, affordable housing, yeah, free child care, shit like that. Anyway, that's always ignored in favor of, we need more goon squad on the street. What's their record with crime? Bad, but let's keep doing it. Oh, I think it's pretty good because they do create a lot of it. So that's like pretty cool.

They have like a high crime rate. Can we stop with the humble brags about your Philonius record? Okay. First of all. First of all. Thank you. Call me Philonius. I saw a clip yesterday of some of those guys walking through Georgetown.

Like the militarized force patrolling Georgetown. Yeah, which is like townhouses. that are made of brick, cupcake shops. That's about it. Like, they're so fucking bored. And, you know, and I'm sure even those racists, they want to be hassling, like, people of color. Not people in Patagonia fleece vests with boat shoes on. That's all you're going to get in Georgetown.

That could be people of color. We need to start dressing like white people, okay? Ah. We need to start. I thought about that the other day. We need to start for them, buy them. Okay. Fitbit.

Start fitbidding. We need camo. I mean, if you wore a fit bit, they'd be like, yeah, that person's, they're white. You're trying to count your steps and you're not running. That's how I appear safe. Yeah, I put a Fitbit on with a fleece. Good old Apple Watch. Yep, and I smile real big for them.

So anyway, some of the worst offenders this week for, in terms of like making stuff up about how unsafe D.C. is first up is benny johnson just one of these fucking clowns on the red no need to really get into his you can assume all the worst about this guy um here's him just making shit up about a crime i've never even fucking hurt just try and follow this this is where he's talking about like he he goes on this sort of like monologue about ranting about how like they're like dc is a hellhole and this is why because of just like the western civilization is at stake and he's like And don't believe the bullshit you hear from people saying that, oh, like, it's actually not that bad. This is how he quantifies this by giving you an anecdote about how his own family was at risk in Washington, D.C.

Don't believe the bullshit that you hear online from some reporters. Oh, crimes down in D.C. Well, my infant nearly died in a drug fire after mass shootings. so no D.C. is not safe and I can tell you this as a matter of fact it is one of the worst

most racist narco states and welfare states imaginable in that neighborhood that I would walk every single day racial epithets were screamed at us rocks were thrown at us because we were white people

this is a this city shut the fuck up did you hear if I heard somebody going get these crackers out of here I'd be like this is like a nice place to settle down.

Wait, but also, I just want to say I didn't start the infant fire, but also like, why do these Republicans keep admitting their bad parents? Why did you say my infant almost died? Did you leave it alone? Hold on. Did you leave the child alone here? Let me just, let me just run this back again. From some reporters.

Oh, crimes down. No. Okay. No. Crimes not down. No. This is, again, I'm not a sociologist or legal scholar, so I don't know what exactly he's saying here.

But what? I just have to run this back down in D.C. Well, my infant nearly died. Uh-huh. In a drug fire. Uh-huh. After mass shootings. It's just pre-associating problems.

Hold on. A drug fire after mass shootings. Kaiser-Socaying American problems. He's like, he's just looking around the room. Drug. Fire, mass shootings. Infant critical race theory. Trans student litter boxed to death.

Letterboxed. Letterboxed. Shout out Mia on letterboxed. And a tornadoesial. Blackbuster late fee. Damian Lillard ruptured Achilles tendon. A depressed wife. Drake.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean, I laughed every time he said, he said drug fire, and I didn't mean to, because I know drug fires are real, but the way he said it, it's like, I, I know, I'm like, I know, like, my infant, I'm sorry, this is going to be my favorite piece of the media at the end of the show. Nearly died in a drug fire. After mass shooting. Yeah. Did somebody, like, shoot at, what is, were they shooting at cocaine or something? Okay. In a club? What does that? So he lives in a, does he live in a trap house with a meth lab in it? So someone came to, to rob the trap house, and then the mass shooting caused a fire in the drug lab somewhere, but that's where you live?

Or were you, right? I'm like, I'm trying to. What is the area code of D.C.? Or the, 202? zip code. Oh, I don't know. The area code is too okay. I was trying to do a 1738.

Whatever. Yeah. So anyway, you heard it. He's in love with the cocoa, you guys. I'm in love with the cocoa. My infant nearly died in a drug fire after mass shooting, Spentanyl. It does. He can't stop laughing about it.

The way he describes it, it sounds. It's like he threw his infant over his shoulder as he fled without taking care of the kids. Yeah, why was the child alone? Like, why didn't he almost die too? I don't know. Oh, my God. Unbelievable. Was your kid cutting the drugs in the trap house?

I don't know. Was it a drug prodigy? That's why we were butt naked because when we're bagging up, they don't trust us. That's why we have to be butt naked when we're bagging up. So that way we can't steal anything. Okay. And my infant's almost died. That's why I couldn't change his diaper.

Yeah, that's why he's not potty trained. What's that powder in your butt, huh? Wait, so what are you doing? Well, me and my child are constantly bagging up cocaine. Like, what do you say? Anyway, so you almost died in a fucking drug fire mass shootings. I guess this is so stupid, but this is how dumb their fucking audiences. Because it's nonsensical.

It sounds like some shit, like even a comedic writer would have trouble coming up with something so absurd that it, rises to this level. It definitely, yeah, that phrase definitely sounds like something on Twitter that would go viral. Like, yeah, like, I don't know, nothing is coming to mind, but you know how like the therapist was like, I'm doing, or the lady was like, I'm doing emotional labor for my son or like the disabled hijabi woman or whatever, like that thing that went by, like all of those random things put together. Farrell hogs. Yeah. It feels like something like that, but it caught me so off guard to hear him say it. So serious. Well, you know, you guys on the left are so heartless.

You just, I can't believe you're laughing after hearing that Benny Johnson's infant almost died in a drug fire after mass shootings. Okay. So let's move on. I can't. On my birthday, can you just text me that instead of happy birthday? I don't bring me so much more joy. I feel like I just need to make that like a drop on the fucking keyboard.

Oh my God. Wait, one more time. In a drug fire. After mass shooting. You have to add the infant in the infant part. Is it almost like, it almost sounds like he's at like a tapas restaurant of like urban crime. And it's like, we're going to start off. We'll have a drug shooting.

Your infant will almost die from a drug fire. But we'll do that after the mass shootings if that works. Do you want that to come at the same time as the drug fire? Or do you want, we'll have it after the mass shooting. My infant nearly died. Uh-huh. In a drug fire. Uh-huh.

after mass shootings. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Because of the WNBA. Right. So stupid. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I haven't laughed like this in a really long time. It feels good. It feels good. I got the giggles. I get it. When I started to, I was like, this is going in the show.

Because this is so. I feel, and it's grim. I'm going to make it my ringer. We can only laugh on the other side of it being so fucked up that this is being used as a justification for militarized police and just federalized police in D.C., but holy shit, guys. People throwing rocks at him and calling him because he's white. You're describing what happened to black people, okay, during this.

That's what you're, you're just trying to do a uno reverse, race reversal and be like, How come we've never heard of this happening to you before? That's wild because I see so many videos on the internet that happening to people of color. But I've yet, I can't even. I know. And I love a white victimhood is such a hot commodity in this country. I can't believe I haven't seen that video.

Of teens of color and they just like he went roasting him. Yeah, they're cooking his outfit. Yeah, they're literally just like, why did you leave your infant in that fire, bitch? Damn. They're like, oh, my God, you're such a terrible, terrible father. Why did you, after a mass shooting, just let your baby in that mask, that drug fire? I can't believe. They're like, they're saying racial slurs to me.

That's so crazy. Anyway, so. Oh, thank you for that. I feel really good right now. The other person is, Victor just said, he was a guy eating beans during cars to, ooh, the famous sweet. Yeah, he might be. No, but just that. He's like the bean, dad.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, Mark Wayne Mullen, if we remember, he's the fake tough guy who will pretend fight a union boss, but actually not really. He's actually a shook man. Oklahoma Senator? Yeah, yeah. He says the weed smell also, the weed smell is out of control in Washington, D.C.

Fun fact, Oklahoma has the most weed stores per capita in the United States, more than over out here in weed a fornia. Y'all got more weed stores per 100,000 people in Oklahoma than any fucking place in the country. So tell me more about the weed smell. Well, the children got to work somewhere, you know? Exactly. Yeah. We need all these kids to have jobs. Someone's got to trim this flower and make sure it's cured.

Come on now. But anyway, he's just Benny Johnson's infant again. He's like, fuck, I got caught again. Yeah, because you imagine, I play the cliff of Mark, Mark Wayne Mullen, and goes, my infant nearly died. in a drug fire after a mass baptism or mass shooting after a Sooner's football game where they hopboxed that covered wagon that's part of the entry thingy and they almost crashed it into my infant who I left right there right there on the 50 yard line nobody's talking about these mass baptism in the U.S. They need to be they need to be they need to be terrifying so here's

Oh, God, this clip just pales in fucking comparison after Ben. I'm sorry. Benny Johnson was so, that was so absurd. You got some bangers, Betty Johnson. That's on me. I should have, I should have closed with that. But here's, this is Mark Wayne Mullen, just lying straight up about the state of safety in, in D.C. And that carjack, just again, putting out just false information about carjackings, but then say, and that's why I don't

wear a seatbelt, because that's how tough I am. I'm very scared in D.C. to wear my seatbelt because of the car jacking. And by the way, I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around in Washington, D.C., in my Jeep, and yes, I do drive myself, and I don't buckle up. And the reason why I don't buckle up, and people can say whatever they want to. They can raise their eyebrows at me again is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry because I got a seatbelt around me. And I wear my seatbelt all the time.

But in Washington, D.C., I do not because it is so prevalent of carjacking. And I don't want the same thing happen to me. what's happened to a lot of people that work. Uh-huh. First of all, can we just, can we just sort of, this is something my therapist says to do

is to reality test your fears, you know, like, oh, that seems like something you think about this. Can we reality test this? So in this, he says he doesn't wear a seatbelt

because a carjacking could happen. So in this instance, is he just leaving his family, the fuck in the car, the sex is like, no, he says he drives himself. He says he drives himself,

not his family. His infant is driving his own Subaru in the back. No, I think he was juxtaposing that with someone. I think he was mentioning Chuck Schumer, someone, how they have drivers. And he's like, I drive my own self. I just love the idea of going 75 on a highway and just being like, they can get me at any moment.

I got to be, you know what? I think political Republican commentators, I think, you know what, they should be safe and not wear their seat belts. I think it's fine. I believe Charles, Darwin, do your thing, baby. Do your thing, okay?

Hand these awards out, honey. Do your thing. I know. I'm like, Charles Darwin, do your thing. Do your thing, girly pop. It's a Darwin summer, y'all. But again, like, what the fuck is, in this instance, he's, I don't know, like, I feel like a tough guy.

He'd be like, I ain't letting anybody take my fucking car. But in this instance, I mean, usually car jacker, he's like, no one giving you up readily. I need to get out of him. A car jacker is going to be like, no, bro, I need you out of the fucking car. They're not going to be like, hurry up, man. Your seatbelt is taking too long. They just want the fucking car. So I don't understand the logic of like,

I can't even have my seat belt on. That's why I also don't wear a booster seat. Okay, normally I would. I don't. I also like the idea of like whatever Republicans are like, you don't like this country, get out. And then they're like, we need to take D.C. back. I'm like, bitch, leave.

Leave if there's an infant fire mask car jacket. leave. Please. Please. If you're scared, leave. If you don't like it there, leave. That's what I'm saying. Go back to your Oklahoma weed shops or whatever. Get out. With your fucking booty weed. I don't know where you. I don't know what y'all are doing to it over in Oklahoma. Anyway, but again, DC, a beautiful city. We got free museums. It's chocolate city. It's such a black, beautiful black city. We got animated statues of a blinking. We love it. Exactly. Just waiting to pop out and show people. But again, I think, again, if you are a person who is constantly in a state of fight or flight around people of color, then, yeah, maybe it is terrifying. But for me, they're like, yes, exactly. You get it. Yeah. Well, because that's always the coded language when they talk about Democrat-run cities. It's like that there's people of color there.

Yeah, because it sounds like Chicago's next from what Trump's been saying. And that's just another city with black people and a Democratic mayor. But all these right-wing leader type guys, they seem really excited to tell people how afraid they are of everyone. because they can't say they're afraid of black people so then they just have to say they're afraid of everyone in the city and it almost feels like a kink thing or something like they need everyone to know how terrified

they are for some reason I can't understand I'm so scared I'm so scared of you guys Mark Wayne Mullen I saw those pictures of you on January 6 hiding behind the chair like you're like okay you're not a tough guy you're not a tough guy and that's okay and that's okay that shit's frightening you know what I mean

but don't don't do your selective shook boy act just to malign good cities like D.C. or Chicago. And yeah, I think specifically, he really has it out for cities with black mares. No, I say let's go further. Let's go further. Let's go further. Let's do reverse sundown towns.

Yeah. Let's say white people are not allowed in D.C. You know what I mean? We got the sundown towns in the south. Let's do a reversal. Let's switch it up. Everybody's talking about race wars. And the race wars are just like white people.

Uno reverse and the race wars are just like white people being like I'm scared of black people and now I'm going to terrorize them and that's like the extent of that like nobody is picking up arms against you or is that community in Arkansas

where they're like it's a whites only community and they've got they've turned it into their own little like M Night Shyamalan movie where they're like and it's just a us oh my god they're going to be so inbred oh yeah already And also with like white congressman especially being like DC's terrible, DC's terrible, it's a cell phone.

Like Congress runs DC. Right. Like you are doing a bad job. Did you think you were going to work hybrid remote? Like what did you think was going to happen? You ran for the fucking position. You're like maybe when I get there, they'll like change it. It's all bullshit.

It's like, I don't know, man. Like the thing that's most terrifying to me about DC is how much people jog there. I can't believe how, like, are people are so into fitness in D.C. I'm like, who do you think you are just jogging and shit everywhere? Maybe that's what they meant, like throwing stones. Like, they're trying to get fit and it hurts my feelings. Maybe that's why. It's metaphorical stones, you know.

Could be. Could be. All right. God, just, you know, we got a lot of mileage out of that Benny Johnson. Play it again. Play it again. It's going to be like I need it. She does that shit directly into my veins.

One more time. Putting his baby through such a Rube Goldberg machine of a drug fire from a mass shooting. It's fantastic. He's like a fucking Looney Tunes video and shit. It's so funny. The baby's in the drug fire after the mass shooting. Here we go. One more time for the people in the back.

My infant nearly died in a drug fire. After mass shooting. I can't. Every beat of that, it's perfect. It's so good. That's going to be my wedding vows. That's going to be my wedding vows. Do you take this man? My infant, nearly died. I believe the bride has prepared her vows. Yes, thank you. Babe. My infant. Hold my hands. Hold my hands. Look me in my. My infant. I nearly died. drug fire. Oh my God. After mass shootings. That was beautiful, babe. Kiss me. Are you going to say I love you or anything? No, that's it. That's it. That's it. If he doesn't understand why those are going to be my vows, he doesn't deserve me. He wasn't man enough for me. All right.

But even more extraordinary than the magazine article's claim was the identity of the man who wrote the article, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,

the man who wrote Sherlock Holmes. Yes, the man who invented literate. her's most brilliant detective was fooled by two girls into thinking fairies were real. How did they do it?

And me, Lizzie Logan. Every episode will explore one of the most audacious and ambitious tricks in history. From the fake Shakespeare's to believe, Loon Boys, and try to answer the question of why we believe what we believe.

with unanimous media on the iHeart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back so j d vance and his family um that i mean the family that we saw from those clips yesterday that I'm pretty sure he absolutely fucking despises his own kids. Basically, I was like, I told him to fuck. Well, they are brown. I was going to say they're brown. That'll do it.

I know. There were reports, somebody was putting, posting on social media just about how like, they're like, oh, like, you can just tell that fucking Ushah hates this fucking guy and just trying to figure out what's happening. I'm like, I mean, I don't know. Sometimes you see these people together. I'm like, they, she may not care that much. We don't know.

We don't know more. She likes the money. But the. The other thing is like, no, because someone, I think there was someone who was at a D.C. restaurant that they were saying, like, they overheard them fighting in a restaurant and that sort of anecdote sort of took off where people were like, look at clips of them. And J.D. Vance, obviously, objectively, an insufferable fuck. And he says stuff who's like. And also says shit like. I'm glad that you said that that's like and gay. That's why he's insufferable because he's closeted and he just needs to just come out and hump a couch and put his eyeliner on and have a nice time. it's natural it's a natural eyeliner it's a natural eyeliner oh i know gajol when i see it okay that's indian island you're you've been in ushes and um so right now but i also think like i feel like they're the type of people i don't ever see them like laughing together you know what i

mean like i think that fighting is their communication style you know their love language so i'm like if they're fighting in a restaurant i'm like yeah all's good with them They're going to bone right after this. This is just a prelude. I don't even know if they will, but, like, that is normal for them. Can you imagine, though, like, she's like, was like, for all intents and purposes, a high, like a powerful lawyer. And then now just does shit, like, appearances, like at a, like, a fucking confederate

library opening and being, like, yeah, she sold her fucking sold. The kids are in the future. Hey, man, you made your bed. So, or you made your couch. Now, watch your husband have his way with it. Now, so they're in the coffee. Botswolds in the south of England, just very picturesque, just, you know, nice villages, quiet hills and things like that.

And now he's brought his army of secret service agents. And immediately the locals are like, what the fuck is going on? So the people living near this 18th century manner that he's renting had agents, quote, knocking on doors to verify their identities, the people who were residing there, and also interrogated about their social media profile. So that's fucking, what you think you're TSA in a village in England, dude? Get the fuck out of here. I would be so-

You can't recolonize the British, they'd be so- Yeah, I'm like, what the fuck are you doing here? I'm like, who the fuck are you? That's what, I mean, anyway, you would get a door slammed in your face very quickly. So right now, there are like all these clips going around of the motorcade, right, that J.D. Vance rolls around with, by all accounts, anywhere between 22 and 27-5. fucking vehicles. I was going to play this clip of like,

it's just a very quaint little town and this guy's filming nonstop just fucking parade of suburbans and fucking rangeover just like security vehicles. And he does a very English thing. He's like, oh, bloody hell. Non-stop, non-stop.

Look at these cars. Bloody ill. Just, look at that thing. You fucking endless amount of fucking black SUBs. Bill for and tough. What's that one? It's got the vice presidential couch in it, okay?

It also must be protected at all costs. At all costs. The first couch? Yeah. The second. Yeah, thank you. It's the second couch. But, yeah, unsurprisingly, the presence of J.D. Vance has also launched a bunch of

protest. There's like people going around in like those ad cars that have just his like baby man baby face, me head rolling around. They had a. I love the internet sometimes. I just like also love how polite though the Brits are. It's like, well, we're going to have a not welcome party. Like where they're still, they're enjoying like pastries that they've made where they've just put his meme face like on a cupcake. And so there's still. They're in line to flip him off. They're like, oh, pardon me. Sorry. You go ahead. One person, they asked. One person, they asked. like a local and they're like, I don't know anybody who feels positively about it at all. Like, yeah, sure.

You've got this dickhead coming through, trying to. This guy's been on like six. He's on a vacation, I think, at least once a month. Oh, wow. Well, that's the funny thing about J.D. Vance as a VP because everybody was trying to knock Kamal Harris. Like, well, he was a bad VP. It's like, what's their job exactly?

What are they supposed to be doing? Nothing. They don't do anything. That's the job. At least J.D. Vance fucks couches internationally. Yeah. So there's that. I only know who Dick Cheney is because he shot somebody in the face.

Not because he was a good VP. I don't know what he was doing. I only know Dick Cheney because he was the president at one point. Exactly. Yeah, right. If anything, he was calling a lot of the shots, too. Yeah. It's like, so we don't, his job is, I guess,

cold vacation and spread the words of Donald Trump shit. I don't know. It's very ceremonial. I think what I think FDR's vice president had a quote about somebody like the vice presidency is like worth less than a bucket of piss or something. he said. And that's FDR's vice president back then. We don't do shit. Yeah, he's like, bro, man,

whatever. Like, I'm, I guess, you know, I'm taking care of, but I kind of had a year vacation until you run for president. Exactly. So now even like conservative residents of the area are also upset. Again, because they said, our grandparents spot against fascism. And also because Vance disrespected the UK by forgetting that they stupidly supported the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan, you shouldn't have done it. You should have just. Wow. Oh, my God. We did not need

a coalition of the willing then for destroying part of the world there. But again, J.D. Vance isn't the only one out there in the Cotswolds. If you remember, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia Daraasi, they moved to the Cotswolds after the election because they're like, well, fuck this. We're out of here. And guess well, we have the money to do it. And also to fuck up the property we're on. Apparently, they were remodeling a house there that would, quote, increase flood risk and disturb Roman ruins. And I think they got so tired of people pointing out that how reckless there, they just moved to a different town and they live out.

That is so funny that they have to skip down because they're being bitches. Yeah. They are now in a new place where apparently is the site of a grizzly murder. So the place they moved to, quote, in 2021. That's where Alan killed her intern. Oh, it's a future crime. It's a future murder. It's in trouble.

Whoever cleans that house. The place they moved to, quote, in 2021 social worker Linda Ricard was sentenced to jail for forging the will of her millionaire landlord, Anthony Sutheran, and then depriving him of food and medical help in order to inherit part of his estate. So, you know. Sonma, can you do that in nursing homes to racists? Is that a lot? I want to look into it. Okay, good. I'll get the petition started.

Yeah, let me see what, let me see what kind of things we can pull here. So again, yeah, look, just wealthy Americans just kind of leave them alone. You know what I mean? There's not always. I'm like, leave those people in the Cotswolds alone, but Jesus Christ. I never thought I'd defend the British, but these fucking Americans are making me do it. It's really sad, right? Like, we're anti-American because we're so embarrassing right now.

Oh, you know what? It was so funny. When I was in Denmark, there was a MAGA hat that said, make America go away. And I was like, damn, that's some shit you can't think of within the United States. You know what I mean? But you have to be outside of it. And you see it? And you're like, no, that's a bar right there.

It's hard actually. Damn, excuse me, you were in Denmark? Okay. Make America go away. Yeah, I was doing research. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, flex. All right.

Yeah, you know what's crazy? I was talking to a dad who would remain names. And he was talking about, like, the World Federation of Engineers is, like, having elections. And people are like, I'm not sure if an American should be president of the engineers. Yeah, facts. I don't think. Why? Unless the American is actually like Indian or something like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No white American. I don't even know, man. Who know? No white Americans for sure. They fucked up the brand for everybody to the point where I'm telling people I'm Japanese a lot of the time. And I'm like, I just speak English very well.

Yeah, sometimes. I mean, see, I can't do that. At one point, I had interactions. Yeah. Yeah, you know, that's kind of the thing when I'm biracial, speaking two languages. They're like, hey, hey, hey, hey, fellow are you from? He gets called the N-word. He's like, I'm Japanese.

How dare you? How dare you? Now, change my diapers, immediately on the double. Yeah, I was saying the other day, like how people, People are just more apologetic now, like when they see you're an American, like in public. They're like, oh, damn, like, they look at you, like, you got shit all over you. They're like, we do. It's true.

We do, though. We shout ourselves. So sorry. So sorry, you have to be that, be there. Like, they look at us like we stink and we are covered in shit so they feel bad for us. But they also are like, get the fuck away from me. It's like, yeah. Yeah. And that's harsh from people that really don't know how to bathe that well.

Yeah, exactly. Because you don't know what it is. What? I don't know what is it. That's harsh from people with how. And finally, I do just want to touch on this, just because this is something I had no idea. Did you know there is a triangle of death on your face? Where is it?

So, okay, the triangle of death is from above the bridge of your nose to the corners of your mouth. I was going to say that. I was going to say that. Okay, so now. The orifices. So there's a, there's a video that was popping on TikTok where this woman was like, I'm at an urgent care because I popped a zip near my nose. nose. And in the video, yo, her face is like swollen, like, near the, like, corner of her

nostril. And she tries to smile and she had like partial facial paralysis. And when she went there, they're like, thank God you came in because you need to be on antibiotics. You have, you have an infection in this area that in very rare instances can be fucking deadly. They gave, she was on four prescription drugs. She gave an update. She's like, I'm on the men. But the people at the urgent care was like, you did the right thing for after your zip popping and your face hurting and being like unable to move that you came in because it is in the triangle of death now this is because the blood vessels in this in this little triangle drain directly into your sinus cavity behind your eye sockets which has a direct line to your brain and so because of that

short distance between the surface of like your body to the brain an infection can cause a clock known as a cavernous sinus thrombosis to rapidly travel to your brain, which could kill you, although experts say that is incredibly rare. However, as somebody who is a parent, I will be scaring the fuck out of my kid when the time comes. Stop picking at your damn face before you get that thrombosis in your cavernous whatever. Oh, so, oh, so we're just picking at the triangle of death now, okay. So you got health insurance? You pay for the health insurance? Okay. Just let me know because you can die from that. Do you want me to show you a TikTok video? from 17 years ago?

I will. I know. I'm sorry, the news. Oh, the news. Yes, yes. I meant the news, the newspaper. The presidential newspaper where we get our presidential updates via TikTok. On that thing, there was a lady who got,

this feels like the kind of story that like, you know how like your parents scare the shit out of you as a kid with something. 30 spiders grew in her ear because she used a cute tip. Oh, is that the one you guys heard? No, I'm just, like, combining different stories. But it's like, you know, like bugs in your ears, stories. Yeah, yeah. I heard if you sit too close to the TV, you'll go blind.

That was one thing that, wow, my mom would I say. She's like, you will go blind. Don't do that. And I was like, I don't want that. You know what I mean? And it's just some shit parents say to just be like, obviously me reasoning with you isn't going to work. So now I have to create some kind of weird ass lie to scare the shit out of you.

Yeah. Except this one has some scientific backing. So I will not be. going after the triangle of death. And although... Good thing I don't get zits on most of my face. A, just on our butt, right? I'm like, what?

That's like exactly where zits are. I know, right? It's also exactly where the zits that you're going to be like, bro, I need to get, I mean, to handle this shit. I have somewhere to be right now. But, I mean, it is what it is. I guess the one thing is that because it's rare that maybe we can keep it rocking. But I just felt that as a PSA.

No, that's scary shit. to know that. Yeah. And that's a good thing. Are you thinking Zygang is acne prone? Is that what you're trying to say? No, I'm just saying this is some shit that you hear. This is the kind of shit you listen to a podcast for.

So when you go to annoy somebody with some random fact, you're like, I don't know if you heard there's a per triangle of death on your face. Would you learn for that from podcast news? Yeah. I want to sit on that triangle on your face, daddy. Oh, wow. The triangle of death. Hey.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. You call it the triangle. And we're back to the acne on the. the ass. It's all. That's how you see it. There it is.
