And I just want to say it's just a great week to start off with everybody I know it's Tuesday but it's still early we want to keep the vibes up and that's why it's really important that we have a good co-host this person is not just a co-host they're doing the damn most and I've talked about their work with the Unicode

Consortium and that epic battle that is still ongoing to get us the Zamboni emojis that we deserve as a people but until then I will just refer to her as the one and only, one of the greats, Jamie Loftus. Welcome, Lozanne. Thank you. I have all these AKAs from back when the Zamboni emoji was on the table

and now they're making me so sad to read through. There's like, I don't want to wait for a free service emoji like but now it's like we're gonna have to just wait it's just gonna have to i was getting some of the most passive aggressive emails from unicode and like that i've received in my entire lifetime should we add them to the fuck them list at the top of the show fuck you yeah and i think we should uh i mean you have that power than ever now more than ever i would i would also uh throw the uh the olympics committee into the ioc into the mix hey look why not covid or not the games will happen that's that's a tough talk from uh the the organizers in tokyo uh you hate to see

that uh but look they said nevertheless we hope that sorry i can't get it nevertheless we hope that receiving our final decision now will be helpful going forward tell me that doesn't sound like a threat from unicode wait what uh say that again help me wrap again. Help me wrap my whole brain around that. This sentence has been living in my brain rent-free. Nevertheless, we hope that receiving our final decision now will be helpful going forward. That's just a really long way of saying, fuck you. That's a real fancy way of the Unicode Consortium ending up on the fuck them list at the top of Daily Zeitgeist. The number one podcast on Earth in the Milky Way galaxy that's just verifiable in a way that most people cannot verify.

Just myself. And that's between me and my ego. But without further ado, we should talk about our guests. Because that's what we do. It's not just Jamie and I talking about how much we don't like the people that make emojis. Sometimes we have funny guests on and we talk about the news. And today is no different because we have somebody who's hilarious, somebody who's talented, somebody who fucks with food on a level that resonates with me because thank God, you know,

I like when people would, you know, we heard what the Pope said. When it comes to fucking and eating, that comes from God. And that's maybe the one part I agree with the Pope on that one and i am thrilled to be joined by our guest today mr danny palumbo yo thank you so much guys thanks for being here yeah danny did you see that the pope said come comes from god no i didn't say that but he's obviously right. Yeah. Yeah, finally. That is. Where's the lie in that? We all knew that. Danny, are you in LA? It's hard to know where anyone is anymore.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm in Los Angeles right now. I was in Pennsylvania for a couple months this summer, but I just got back maybe like three weeks ago. Nice. How was it? Are you from out there? Yeah, I got family.

I grew up a little bit north of Pittsburgh. Okay, up there. Okay. It was it? Are you from out there? Yeah, I got family. I grew up a little bit north of Pittsburgh. Okay, up there. It was great. I just needed to get out of town for a little bit and found a good excuse. And I was like, yeah, I'm Bolton. But it's good to be back. Now you're locked in by the smoke. You got back just in time for the world to burn down around you.

For the smoke. The sky is a little bit bluer today, and I'm taking it as a win. That's how low the bar is right now. Yeah. I can kind of see the sun. It looks like a sick dolphin's skin tone. Yeah. That's that cut.

That's that. Yeah. I mean, it feels like it's getting towards bluish, but yeah. I went to the coffee this morning and my eyes didn't hurt and that is the way I take.

I had the worst headache over the weekend from the air quality. I did not think I would shout out to the people up in the Pacific Northwest, too, because I'm looking at the particulate matter readings. And it's through the charts to the point where scientists are like, we're not sure what this means on the human body because we've not dealt with anything like this before. So yeah, please, please stay safe. It's just wild to think now it's like, please, please be mindful of where you're inhaling. Please. That's the level of 2020 we're at. Well, Danny, we're going to talk a little bit more about all the things you know about and love and can tell us about through your overrated, underrated search history. But first, we've got to give people a little bit of a preview of what's coming.

We're going to talk a little bit about Trump. Just still super spreading, baby. The spread don't stop. Just spreading the love. Yep. And then Joe Biden. Look, man. Apparently, he's been listening to the president's words.

Joe Biden, look, man, he apparently he's been listening to the president's words and he see it seems that he feels that there is a need to lawyer the fuck up in the event of some election rat fuckery. So we'll talk about the like really boring Avengers esque effort that is happening to create this army of lawyers. happening to create this army of lawyers uh then we're going to talk about how now even because nothing is real uh even wildfires have fallen victim to the wave of conspiracy theories and depending on where you get your snacks and uh really cool ideas uh you might have a few different you know sources of these fires because it damn sure is. Yeah. Uh, if you're an AFS flick your lighters one time. Uh, but yeah, it's, it's, it's definitely getting, it's from anything. I mean, there's takes from QAnon, there's takes from people who want to paint Antifa as people who just get off on like, you know, existing and intense fire environments. Uh, they've got it all folks. Then we'll do some lighter fare uh wheel of fortune

is coming back and they're taking some really great precautions to keep people safe you can stay in maybe the fresh prince fresh prince fresh prince of bel-air uh mansion for a night and maybe some other stories too maybe a sick ass debate that all of the toxic bros in this country deserve uh but before we get into all of that we we got to ask you, Danny, what is something from your search history that's revealing about you? I googled Chiff Chuff recently

because I'm... I don't know if you guys know what that is. Unpack that. Unpack that. Chiff Chuff? Chiff Chuff, man. I'm writing a food article slash recipe for the takeout. There's this dish I grew up eating called chiff-choff. And it seems like no one has ever even fucking heard of it before.

Yeah. And it's like this old Italian dish that used to be made with like chicken gizzards and like lots of hot sauce. And then you eat it with like crusty bread and then it kind of evolved i think like once italian immigrants came over and to into like chicken thighs so it's basically bone in skin on chicken thighs seared on both sides stewed in hot sauce and uh yeah i grew up eating that as a kid and i and then i realized no one's ever heard of it before and i'm like oh yeah i should write about that so wait like danny come to the dinner we're having chiff chaff that's a sentence that might happen and you're like chiff chaff and i keep trying to chiff chaff tuesday yeah

it's chiff chaff tuesday you're chiff chaff or aunt janice's chiff chaff because i don't like hers uh no i i would never have an aunt you You're so it evolved. Okay. So heavy on the chaff. Full disclosure. Okay. The takeout who the outlet in which you write for, for which you write for in there of therefore in which sandwich is one of my favorite food sites. I typically reference a lot of the work from that website.

So it's nice to have you to talk about it. It's nice to see you switch gears because I was telling you before the show how how much I would talk about takeout articles on the show. And then like as the pandemic and creeping fascism and like rampant white supremacy became really the the soup du jour to bring another. Yeah. Of of our of our consciousness. I was like, damn, I feel like I can't honor my Taco Bell side as much these days. Yeah. I will say that it also feels weird

to be writing all of this shit. And there is a consensus in the food world too. Like I follow a lot of food writers and everyone's kind of really sort of understanding the same thing, which is that like, oh, if like shit goes down, like we're all pretty much useless and there's not anyone writing. a hot dog a sandwich like those types of things they're

like please yeah hey uh white house uh press secretary kaylee mcconaughey is the hot dog a sandwich you know like that's how that's how we 2025 that bit like the third day of protests i remember uh i had an article come out that was like lupini beans are underrated and i was like oh god that looks so bad yeah yeah you're like that was written like two weeks ago just it was it totally was but yeah but back to chip chop um so you're saying it started off as like a sort of working class dish using like awful basically like organ meat and then because then over here people like we don't need awful that we're exactly thighs but what is italian hot sauce exactly like because in my mind you say you're stewing in a hot sauce okay would you get

a bottle of crystal i mean it kind of turns into a hot sauce but you take these like jarred italian hot cherry peppers which i don't even know if you can really get around here maybe it's some italian markets but uh you stew those down into just like this very i mean it essentially becomes a hot sauce but it sees these hot peppers that you cook down into like a stew and uh i think that would take some of the the must off of the the gizzards but with thighs it's uh it's really good and i think thighs were just like more available to people uh with factory farming and everything over here and maybe like the 50s 60s stuff right right right i mean shout out to italian sandwiches

and awful uh you know shout out to italians yeah when i was when i was in florence uh i had a sandwich uh which is tripe. And I was like, well, I don't know if we do that here. But the way it was prepared, I mean, I honestly, that with the salsa verde, I was taken back to simpler times, which I just wish I was there now. Anyway, what is something you think is overrated? Man, I think pretty much most restaurants right now are pretty maybe maybe even just the concept of a restaurant right now is like i think that's one thing i've realized in the pandemic is is you know do we need 75 of these places you know if there's a

biscuits place called biscuits and groovy in austin texas i'm like does that need to survive you know shouldn't wouldn't be we be okay with just 50 uh wouldn't we wouldn't we be okay with like 50 of restaurants you know instead of i feel like we're oversaturated right now and i mean yeah on like one level you're one level, it's a weird way to try and realize that maybe your dream of having a restaurant is like... Because it already... To have open a restaurant pre-pandemic was already you were looking at a losing proposition statistically.

Like 7 out of 10 fail, or it's some crazy statistic like that. I mean, I'll say this. It at least... And I am definitely doing my best to support a lot of these places, but we need to shift the way that we're thinking about this shit. Did you see what they're doing in Riverside County right now, where they've made it basically legal.

You can run a restaurant out of your home. You have to apply for all the permits and everything. Obviously, health inspectors get involved, and it costs money to get those things. But there's people running restaurants out of their homes right now. Is that safe? I think if you're getting health inspectors to do the inspections, and there's obviously laws and codes, and you're following all of it.

I think that's a great idea, at least for like, you know, I don't think it would work in Los Angeles so well, but maybe from a takeout perspective, it would. I mean, I would love nothing more to be like, yo, my neighbor, she just has like a pozole thing going and you can just stop by and it's the fucking bomb and i have to drive nowhere and i can literally help out my neighbor like i would love that yeah i'm also saying this as somebody that is currently slinging uh pasta and meatballs out of their apartment on sundays you are oh yeah totally i like i started like five weeks ago i'm, I just need to start hustling and make extra money, man, because I don't know. That's so cool. Yeah. So I started doing it.

And then people on Instagram, it started out as friends. And then I'm getting these weird DMs from people. And yeah, strangers just pull up. And it looks like I'm making a drug deal. Weird DMs are like, put the sauce on your back. Yeah. That is the funniest others folder on Instagram. It's just like full of pasta heads.

Yeah, like, hey, you got that tagliatelle today? I love it. Usually that's the folder for dick pics, but now it's for hungry pasta people. Are you making, so are you hand-making your pasta? Yeah, I am. Yeah, I do.

Oh my god. Danny makes incredible pasta. Yeah, I am. Yeah, I do. Oh, my God. Danny makes incredible pasta. Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. It's good. And the price point is like, most of the handmade pasta here, dude, it's all expensive. It's all like $20 and more. And I'm sure it's great.

But I'm like, I don't know, man. I kind of fiend that $15 range, Sunday gravy type of... So I keep it at $15 a week. And it's been good, man. And also, I get to see people. They come pull up, and it's been really good. That's fantastic. I mean, yeah.

I think it would be hard in LA. I mean, it was already an epic battle to allow people like street vendors to sell food. And with a lot of people, you know, raising the concerns of like, can it be regular? And they were able to, to a certain extent. But yeah, it's that idea actually is pretty remarkable because I think the one thing that I saw restaurants do that seemed really interesting was like pivot to being more of like a like a grocery store plus meal kits and things like that. And it seems like that trend will probably continue even after the pandemic because there's also something nice that I was like, Oh yeah, let me get like a half made thing from a restaurant.

And I can still feel like I'm cooking and then helping some business, like a local business out, et cetera. So I like when you can get the cocktail, like a juice box and bring it to your house yes that's nice especially when like some of them like lono like they're serving them out of uh whatever like the umbrella factory or whatever the that place is on melrose but you can get like their tiki cocktails and they're like but they give you all the garnish and stuff so you could really feel like hey man we got something going in my garage oh nice they're like now more than

ever we got to get you fucked up you're like all right all right oh but we also got to sell you this guacamole because it's like a huge ass like ziploc bag you're like all right apocalypse not so bad after all it comes in a bag yeah i love it yeah just cut it with a box cutter over your mouth and just let it spill straight onto you basically just a little boda box that you just uh danny what's something that you think is underrated these are all food based by the way i hope i love it i i turn this into a food podcast because it's only one of the only things i talk about confidently uh dude i was listening to roy scoville on the podcast was it last week and yeah he said that wedding cakes are overrated and i agree

wholeheartedly there's an alternative to that that i don't know if it really took off on the west coast um are you guys aware it's self-explanatory but what a cookie table is at a wedding no no instead of a wedding cake every wedding I went to growing up had these. They would like giant tables full of cookies that were made from parts of each family and maybe even some outside sources, but like thousands of cookies would be like sitting in a separate room at a wedding.

So instead of a cake, like after dinner, they call up tables to go to like this big ass cookie table and you just get like you know sometimes there's like dozens of different cookies and so you're getting like all these different uh flavors and different types of dessert instead of just like one you know flavor of cake which i think is that's nice yeah and it it started too that's another like you know rust belt immigrant thing it was like italian slovak polish greeks uh maybe even like serbian too but like when cakes are too expensive they would just ask members of the family to bake you know all these different types of cookies and so it's kind of like a giant dessert potluck at the wedding.

That's so cool. I know. I love it. And then you get, like, grandma's beefing and stuff, and I think that's wonderful. Oh, yeah. Where, like, you watch them take a bite of, like, an in-law's cookie, and they're like.

Yeah. Yeah, side-eye. You're like, oh, shit. Yeah. People, I mean, they take it so seriously in, like, western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, that, like, yeah, people I feel like are loosely out for blood. What's like a cookie you can expect there regionally? Like you're saying like, how the fuck was there a cookie table without this one?

Like I'm guessing like Italian wedding cookies probably. Yeah, like Italian wedding cookies for sure. But I feel like also like, what are they called? Like Bulgarian butterhorns or something like that it's you know i'm talking about the little twisty it does sound fake i just made up a cookie off the top of my head uh yeah maybe like wedding cookies for sure pixels oh yeah snowflake yeah you see a lot of those lemon bars any gross ones that you would find on the table

like that i feel like with that kind of variety there's got to be kind of a nasty one right i don't know i when it comes to dessert my palate is like so basic too i've got like the palate of like a civil war ghost i like i like lemons and i like i like anise you know i don't know why i'm like i like oh give me you like the flavor of anise i like the flavor of anise you know i don't know why i'm like i like give me like the flavor of anise i like the flavor of anise and it is it was like black licorice think black licorice oh i like that sorry like i actually enjoy necco wafers too and not in an ironic not in an ironic way i know we were going so well made in massachusetts they're made in fucking Revere. And they were about to go under until someone generously

resurrected the shitty wafers from hell. They should have gone under. They taste like dust. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know why, but I'm like, it doesn't... I like it. I do like it. Okay, fine. I guess we'll let that one slide. And then finally,

what's a myth, Dani? what's something people think is true and you know that shit is just a lie or vice versa? Right. You don't have to wash chicken. And I keep thinking this is common knowledge, but then it keeps coming up

through DMs or people adding me on Twitter. People think that when you get raw chicken, like thighs or breasts or drumsticks, that you have to rinse it in a sink. And not only is that not necessary, it's very bad because you're spreading the bacteria that could splash onto something,

or now your sink's infected, and you don't want to wash chicken. That's bad. Yeah. Wow. Or your legs, it turns out. You don't want to wash chicken. That's bad. Yeah. Wow. Or your legs, it turns out. You don't have to wash your legs, yeah. So I've been doing good for a long time, y'all.

The bottom of your feet, you're in the shower. It's fine. Yeah. Oh, like the soap doesn't run down your body. Okay. Yeah. All right. All right, Einstein.

I'll expend more calories doing that. But yeah, I think when reading about it you know just i was like i but you just am i i grew up being like uh like touching it i would do it to get the slime off to be like i don't want to touch it and maybe it's better but then yes i study after studies like you're just spreading more bacteria everywhere by uh when you start rinsing it off everything Everything, I've worked in, I don't know, maybe a dozen restaurants, and they all teach you to do everything you can to contain that chicken so it doesn't touch anything else.

And yeah, just rinsing it is just very, very detrimental. So, yeah. Just like, and also guys, don't wash your mushrooms. Don't just be running water over your mushrooms either i see people why not because it's our they retain so much moisture anyway you don't want to add more moisture you like you could rub you can you can like get them with like a wet paper towel to clean them off you never want to like full-on wash your mushrooms like too many rules they're fine that's why you don't cook that's why i don't

cook that's why i don't cook it's for yeah and i can make a egg it's for anal retentive people that need so many fucking rules there's no room for thinking i fucking love rules dude yeah what are the fucking rules i'm a huge fan of oh man all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about some people who fucking don't follow the rules. How about that? All right. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.

President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

And you know, yesterday's episode on monday we were talking about uh trump's really sick motang rally in michigan where he was hanging with the people of making up fake awards that he gave himself oh yeah he was a king of michigan or some shit michigan he won michigan man of the year from I don't know who gave me the award but they had me speak for like I don't know and like I was basically saying how fucked Michigan was and they agreed with me therefore I'm the king

of Michigan thank you vroom vroom bye so that's sort of the tone of that rally and again he went on to make all sorts of claims that aren't rooted in anything to do with reality but a nice version of it were it you know you had to make one up to just sort of preserve your ego um so the the trend

continued over the weekend uh this time he went to nevada and he had two rallies he had one that was even indoors because he don't give a fuck uh and when asked you know hey aren't you concerned about doing an indoor rally and and what that could mean the potential uh risks involved he said no not at all it doesn't matter i'll be all right i get tested he's like i was like i get tested all the time it's like okay so you'll just find out quicker if you have current what okay so the um worth asking what about everybody else because it's just not an issue on the table no yeah that's the first question you would have but i feel like people know not to do that right yeah rhetorical i guess must be frustrating as a journalist when

you want to ask those questions that you would ask of a other like a reasonable human being that was sure had all this power but you're like well but mr president what about the other man fuck it you know and he's like what was your question and it's like dude i'm just fucking yeah just whatever never mind pass i was gonna continue coughing in people's mouths yeah so the other thing that was interesting in north carolina last week trump sort of describes hey, we've got a bit of a peaceful protest here, like referring to the rally. And that continued, apparently. In Nevada, Kayleigh McEnany was saying like she tweeted something like, look at this peaceful protest.

It's like that's protesting. That's precisely what I think most people were like. What the fuck are you talking about? You like it's a it is a rally that they're for a political like a campaign rally um and i guess because like conservatives have to have to cosplay as oppressed people now to like be able to get their own outrage going yes uh that maybe that's what it is. But last I checked, the Republicans are in charge of a lot. So the... Was he the first person to say peaceful protest, right?

He tweeted it? Yeah, I mean, he was the first one to refer to it as like this is like a... Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's all it takes. And then it gets me the following in line. Yeah.

Yep, for sure. Yeah, as soon as he says something, then everyone... It's like, yeah, it's a signal to everyone else like oh we're gonna start calling at this now yeah because the the the governor of nevada was just fucking pissed like beside himself about like what the fuck was going on with this with these rallies having it indoors like you know you know their whole thing was like well we give people masks and we encourage them to fold them up and put them in their pockets because we just had to do that like a sort of like nevada it's still like recommended right it's oh 100 like they should they shouldn't even be having events like that so another thing is like i wonder if they're trying to like use this language to try

and it be less of like this is a you know straight up uh well thought out premeditated idiotic like reckless event to have with people amidst a pandemic uh or if they use this whole language of like uh peaceful protest like they're giving themselves some kind of weird mental jujitsu loophole to be like it's actually a protest it's like the black lives matter stuff right yeah they'll start calling really important that we're here. They'll start calling everything that eventually, just football games, you know, Greek festivals, whatever it is where people want to congregate.

Yeah, like any kind of saint's feast, Italian festival. Yeah, sure, anything. Yep, yeah. I mean, they're peacefully protesting St. Michael and just how delicious the meatballs are from Michelli's. I can't really deny that. So, yeah, the whole sort of look of it is really, really grim. And it doesn't seem like there's any slowing down, just like we played the sound bites from people in Michigan. you know, any slowing down,

just like we played the sound bites from people in Michigan, same thing for people in Nevada at these other rallies where it's essentially, it's fake. It's not real. Don't worry about it. I don't know anybody with it. Do you know anybody who's had it? Do you really, you know, like it's the same sort of logic being applied and yeah,

no end in sight. So keep an eye on that. um well you know just it's all about the spreading y'all just spread the love uh i got my first nose test oh you did oh yeah the one i thought we were done with those like the skull fuck one oh yeah the skull fuck one i got my first my first skull fuck last week negative Negative, feeling great about it, but holy shit, does it fuck your skull. Oh, yeah? Yeah, to see it tickle.

You're like, I felt my eyeball move. Your eye twitched. It was so funny. The nurse was very nice, but he was like, yeah, if you've seen that graphic, it's really nothing like that. And then he was like, because it's deeper. And you're like, yeah, if you've seen that graphic, it's really nothing like that. And then he was like,

like, because it's deeper. And you're like, oh, my right side is tingling after that one. Anyways, highly recommend. Well, yeah. I would like them to, you know, legally have to call it a skull fucking.

The way things are going. You could fuck your skull just a little bit you should it's a medical term yeah and like that's all i get like that's the little comfort we get in 2020 it's like well at least they made that a joke right yeah your skull fuck guys anyway let's all let's let's all go to trump's fifth inauguration uh mandatory inauguration celebration because my shock collar is going off um now uh joe biden that's a guy who is also running to be president of this place we live in the united states and he is uh concerned like i think most people have been because the rhetoric out of the the gop and the president is like they're

gonna fuck with the ballots i'm telling you there, there's going to be so much fraud. Also, if you're in North Carolina, vote twice, y'all. Thank you so much. It's a felony. But do it on behalf of me, your president. You know, they're talking about all kinds of overt and subtle forms of voter suppression. And now, you know, I think in the beginning, there was rumors about how Joe Biden, like behind the scenes, they were trying to get a huge team of lawyers together to be able to prepare for any contingency.

Because that seems to be like the amount of like war gaming that's happening with this election. It's truly next level sort of forecasting happening. So now Team Joe by it turns out that they are ready. If the rat fuckery is turned up to 10,000, they have assembled an Avengers-esque team. Okay, now this special litigation team. Are we talking about that horrible Avengers? Yeah.

Yeah. Did you see that, Miles? No. The Avengers? Oh, I thought you were referencing. There was an Avengers ad for the Joe Biden campaign. It's some of the corniest shit you'll ever see in your life man i don't yeah i've already that have seen it well but like it's it's it's an embarrassing one i've seen only one avengers movie and i think it was like uh the of

vengeance of voltron old ultron which That's close. That's close enough. And I didn't see, I haven't seen Infinity War, any of them. So I'm so out of the loop on that very specific. I know the memes though. I know about the memes where the portals be opening up

and people pull up. I like that meme construction a lot. So with this, I guess to give you another Avengers, that thing where the portals open up, that's happening except with really boring lawyers from the left. so this this team as the portals open get ready because uh-oh is that the dora milaje no it is lawyers from the democratic law firm perkins cole or coy or whatever the

fuck they're called uh they are going to be looking into state by state battles uh about like voting rules and etc there is a guy mark elias who's also from like this same law group he's leading that unit there's like just a special like voting rules unit uh apparently former attorney general eric holder uh will also be working to like talk with independent groups on how they can also participate in any legal battles that occur uh throughout this election um and it's also this whole team is being led by two former solicitors general so oh if you guys y'all don't feel safe now i don't know what will so unfortunately this does like make sense to me that there's a lot of preparation going on like i'm yeah not the biggest joe biden

fan but i mean just based on what happened in the last couple weeks of of the election uh in 2016 i'm glad that there is at least a plan in place to i mean uh hopefully combat whatever's gonna come out right because unless it's like a huge unless it's a huge victory, it's going to drag out forever. Right. Is that something we've just all kind of accepted now that Trump's going to challenge? I think what most people need to do and just to just to prepare themselves for the onslaught of probable misinformation that comes election night is to already go into election night saying, well, we're not going to get a result tonight. election night is to already go into election night saying, well, we're not going to get a result tonight. We're going to vote today. We'll be in line until tomorrow. Yeah. Or possibly Christmas. I don't know. In a couple of months. Right. And maybe Jose Andres is going to have to come by and give me little drops of food in my

mouth to keep my body running so I can stay in line to vote um but it is i think a lot of people that's i think that's a one big potential for people to get bit by the misinformation bug is to expect a result on election night because oh yeah there's gonna be a lot of mail-in ballots have to be counted just like a lot has to go on and i think the second that doesn't happen it's like what are they doing who's doing what well and the fact that there's been i mean like even local to us there's just been like bags of mail found, like discarded and parking lots in Glendale. Like there's going to be, I mean, just in terms of finding every ballot and making sure

the ballots are counted, it's going to take for fucking ever. I don't feel like, I mean, I feel like they're priming everybody for a huge disaster, right? Like at least, you know, people on the right anyways i mean i don't know it doesn't everything i've been i don't know at least ingesting is like oh yeah this is going to be an actual shit show and we're not going to know who the president is for a while yeah that's what i've been led to believe i don't know i think even looking at just sort of what's going on, there's already a lot don't know where the case is at exactly but absentee ballots were being delayed because someone filed a challenge so everyone is trying to like especially if you are motivated to help the president they're trying to find every

single way to muck shit up and fuck shit up too i'm not gonna hold back y'all uh to to f word yeah sorry sorry it's 2020 guys i hate send your kids out of the room but they're here to fuck it up miles you should start tweeting this is not okay this is not normal so i could be a really cool like dem uh dem twitter personality a real blue check yeah i am not okay with this i feel like i should experiment with typical constructions of dem blue check twitter sort of sentiments which is it's really like i was saying like like krasenstein style tweeting or like when you have the dance from the pod save crew of just being like oh donald donald Trump is so scared. Can you believe it, guys? Retweets.

We are going to win. Like, whoa. Yeah, like Trump puts a spicy tweet out about mail-in ballots, and all you have to do is like, someone's waking up to their living nightmare 2020. Here we go. 50,000 retweets. Bottom line is people must go out to vote no matter what.

And I think even with the polling, the shit's already starting saying someone's lead has never been more stable going into an election. It's like, have we not learned the lesson from that rhetoric? Yeah. Have you seen the guy who's like in office right now he like he's just trying to get a bunk doj investigation to try and smear people for in for their october surprise uh let's let's be ready y'all uh biden is tony stark we'll be fine biden is tony stark and the democratic adventures that's cool because he's an inventor. It's so goofy. It's just the goofiest shit I've ever seen.

Wait, they make him actually as Tony Stark? Yeah. Oh, fucking hell. They're calling them the Democratic Avengers. It's called a winning strategy, honey. Yeah, right. Heard of it? We will avenge the losses from Wall Street from the last year and a half.

Oh, my God. Okay, so let's move on to some real conspiracy theories, huh? Some hard-hitting shit. The fires are ravaging the Western United States. You can't get away from it. You look above. You look at the sky. You breathe in the air.

Everything is saying, something's not good here. It could be the fires. It could be global warming or a global warning that is actually going down. And it's really getting out of control in some places. That is actually going down and it's really getting out of control in some places. Apparently in Oregon, there were some residents who were refusing to evacuate during the fires because, quote, Antifa is in town. And they were saying, well, wait, hold on. And people were saying, like, well, hold on, sir. You have to evacuate.

The fire could potentially you could be in danger. Your life could be at risk. And they're very, uh defined group of people were basically saying that these fires are being started by antifa and then they were using that the chaos to loot empty homes christ so unfortunate that people are willing to harm their families over nothing, over literally nothing. It is so, like, I understand why conspiracy theories are running so rampant right now, but it's like,

the concept of a decentralized organization just is like not, does not compute for some people, it seems like. It's like there's not. Yeah, yeah. The whole point is that there's no plan. There's no leader. There's no person, like, shooting out,

you know, wearing an anonymous mask and shooting out orders. It's just, like, doing things that are against fascism. I don't know. Forest fires are not anti-fat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did they arrive to the fact, or to what they thought was Antifa starting the fires?

It starts all, like everything. Facebook, okay? That's where it starts. First rumors going around communities between people saying that they saw people setting fire to hay bales or throwing Molotov cocktails. And the police were like please stop spreading

these rumors like even though we are even more people say questionable shit we're the ones that throw the molotov cocktails and then say it was the police that's what we do if we're anyone's going to spread misinformation about antifa it's's going to be the police, not you guys. Know your role. But they're saying, like, just don't because it's starting to interfere with evacuation orders. It's creating just a drain on emergency response things when people are already at this, like, heightened level of fear because, you know, some anarchists who drove down from you name a city because they want to get your fabergé eggs while you flee for safety i don't know i mean it's like what you're saying it is just like a fear motivated response that is like hurting them it's yeah it's it's it's definitely it's it's a tough tough world to be in i think for for all people at the moment and so then there was even one um

sheriff's deputy who went viral from clackamas county who was saying some shit basically blaming antifa and then that video started going around and they're like it's these antifa motherfuckers are causing hell that's a quote from a sheriff's deputy and people obviously take that why would that person lie who knows what their motivations are i think why would a sheriff deputy lie interesting take and then so that became like it gave its own life too and then luckily the the uh clackamas sheriffs they said uh that person has been put on leave for the moment while we try and figure out what was going through their mind when they spread that misinformation.

Yeah, the Facebook image I'm seeing being circulated is the Douglas County Sheriff's Office with an image that says, Stop Spreading Rumors. I feel like they could be a little harsher about that. The only way that gets more non-threatening is if they start the sentence with, You guys.

That's just like the lyrics to a Lindsay Lohanhan song that's not uh oh my god stop it yeah isn't it was it i'm starting rumors isn't it stop starting rumors yeah i'm tired of being followed man uh dude i went to high school with uh played bass her band, and I didn't realize until I think she performed New Year's Eve or something once, and I was like, yo, is that crazy? What the fuck? Good for you. I miss Lindsay Lohan's music career. Oh, yeah.

But it was one of those things where you ever see somebody you went to high school with completely change it up. The image is like a 180 or 170. I don't know how many degrees different but like it was a full-on different person and you only knew because you're like i know their face and that is i love that shit there's a guy i went to high school with that i like dared to log into facebook a couple weeks ago he's in goddamn cirque du soleil just in my algebra class he must be talented yeah i had no and he is like he

is like i'm so sad that vegas is shutting down cirque du soleil and i was like why but then there's pictures of him in cirque du soleil that's why he was sad damn everyone i knew in high school is doing exactly what i thought they're just back home tilling the fields and doing cirque du soleil somewhere and most are in cirque du Soleil as well. Shout out to Brian from Algebra. There was another. Cirque du Soleil. Oh, shout out.

Yeah, shout out to all the people who surprised us from Algebra class. You know what I mean? Good for you, Brian. All the good surprises. There was another rumor that started when there were just two videographers who were trying to capture footage of the fires. They were wearing respirators or gas masks because fucking fire. And they were walking towards someators or gas masks you know because fucking fire and they were walking towards like some flames with a camera some people put some images on facebook and said

these are these antifa goons who are starting the fires yeah and that story kind of took off on its own also anybody with a mask yeah rt the russian statecontrolled media outlet. Okay. They're also publishing pieces that were trying to conflate the Portland protest with wildfires and just basically very tenuous connections. And then right-wing media picks it up and they're like, yeah, see, this is exactly what's going on. It's because these radicals are out here just setting fire to the western united states and it's it's just really draining um because even like the mainstream media is just like taking a there was an image that said man charged with arson in connection to oregon wildfire and it's a an image of the forest burning this guy's like mugshot but that it wasn't that this guy started the actual wildfire he was just arrested for starting a fire like in the area after the main fire had began and really just completely misleading with

like headline journalists yeah and yeah he he wasn't an arsonist it was just he was like on drugs like it was just someone who was under distress started a fire but then they're like i don't know this guy's in connection to it. So then that feeds this idea that there are singular human beings out there, um, starting these fires. I could keep going. I mean,

QAnon has their version. They've been doxing protesters who have been arrested for fire related incidents and trying to say like, these are the kinds of people who could be starting these fires. There were memes going around that they were fucking lasers from space uh that were starting these big blazes yeah it's a lot of trouble yeah anything but like you know climate change right it's like we're willing to believe lasers and Antifa and all this shit. I don't understand why we're so susceptible to this spread of misinformation.

I mean, this is bad. The fires, I thought, were something very tangible. It kind of happens every year, but now it's more out of hand. And all of a sudden, it's Antifa. And I'm like, wait, what? Yeah, it's at the point where things burning down is not a bipartisan right yeah yeah yeah well i think it's like anything right you look at um anything that forces us to be a little bit more self-aware and maybe look at the decisions we make in our own behaviors that there's a group of people that are willing to even for a moment,

give that some thought and people who are absolutely unwilling. So whether if it's white supremacy, you could be like, Hmm, how can I combat white supremacy? How have I maybe even perpetuated in my own life? Then there are people who go, ah,

it's not the deal. It's just these all lives, man. I'm not willing to have lasers from space or even COVID, right? That's white supremacy. The effects are very real. They're all from all to see,

uh, COVID the effects are very real. The devastation is all there for all to see. But for some people, you may have to begin to say, do I have a responsibility to people in my community to change like what my day-to-day is that i have to understand that i have to extend empathy to people who aren't able to work because that's actually in the best interest of the safety

of our country or communities so then they don't want to have that discussion they want to turn this into i want to get on my boat or fucking go to apple b whatever the fuck they want to do and that's what it's about and again i mean don't bring apple bees into this it's all about apple bees i'm sorry i had to i kind of been wanted to do curbside curbside bees curbside bees i'd fuck with some curbside bees i'm actually surprised that they're not they're not no they just have like, they have like a, I saw like a patio outside of a Denny's yesterday.

I was like, oh, okay. You gotta have a death wish to go to Applebee's. That's just good branding. Yeah, I got to, got to. And then even again, with the fires, we're looking at measurable damage. We have enough to know we've had a heat waves and lack of rain that these are cycles that feed each other but again the global warming issue would have to

force somebody to look at their own life and any lifestyle choices they make and if you don't want to do that fuck it i'm i'll blame fucking antifa lasers from space rather than being like oh yeah maybe that maybe we have a problem with the climate and there's very little i mean i feel like there's very little push from public officials to like acknowledge that i mean it's it's it was just blowing my mind over this weekend where our mayor was just being like well just stay inside just stay. And then the air won't hurt you. So just stay inside, try not to exercise too much and cool. Good job team. When it's like that just neglects so many vulnerable people,

people who have to still go to work and people who are unhoused. And he's just like, no, just stay inside. Like just the, the privilege of tweeting that from your fucking man. Fine. So what the air quality is outside

this is what you do close your great double paned windows because they're so energy efficient and then turn your central air on get it nice and cool in your house kick your feet up have a glass of champagne watch your favorite felini flick and just have a Saturday. Have a day. Make a day of it. Here's a Criterion collection coupon. But that's applicable to so many places and so many public officials that we're supposed to be able to trust are just like,

yeah, just don't go outside. Don't worry about it. It's like, Jesus fucking Christ. It's just tough, man. How are they handling it in Washington and Oregon? I mean, how's the... I mean, there's at least... I think in the areas where...

And our listeners there, please offer some insight into this. But it does seem that at least there are public officials in areas that need evacuations who are stepping up. But it's still like that's some bare minimum shit yeah right yeah it does seem like such a small population that believe all this conspiracy theory shit up there but i'm like if i'm even hearing about it at all i'm like that's fucking bad i think it's but it just you know it's like anything when you find yourself in a situation where you're absolutely powerless and you don't know the first step into feeling safe yeah man it's you gotta you're gonna reach for

the first fucking thing that offers i dude i i get that so much that's actually like incredibly relatable and kind of sad to you know just anything to explain the fucking horrific chaos i know 9-11 just happened and you're a truther, so do you want to kind of tell people about that? Yeah, man. You know, I mean, you guys know the story. Loose change. It's, you know, it's all real. But it's true.

I mean, it's the same thing. I mean, it happens in every community. There's conspiracy theories for every community because all you need is the combination of to feel powerless and not understand. You just need a way to explain your powerlessness, your helplessness. Yeah. Some can do that in a way that makes them very uncomfortable

to look at how ugly the world is. Sometimes you just want it wrapped up in a bow and just say it's hippies that wear all black and have torn jeans. The biggest conspiracy theory of all, God. It's God. Hey. Come on.

You know, after Chill Pope said- God just started chill pope said started yeah yeah i don't know he sounds pretty chill yeah i'm actually going back i went to church this week i did too they kicked me right out uh for for for bringing up some of the stuff from that book i think i think i may have had it wrong and maybe oversimplified the words. You know, you could just raise your hand during a service and be like, excuse me, do you have any thoughts on come being from God? The priest is like doing something in like Latin. And you're like, And I'm like, hi, hi.

Laudante Dominum. Omnes gentes. Can we fuck in one of the confessional booths? If it's your wife. If we're married. I'm married. I feel like it's my right if we're married i'm married i feel like it's my right as a uh as a sin uh giving uh churchgoer anyway all that to say we need to take a quick break and be right back this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for

president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back and uh let's move on to some really disturbing news um and i hate to just i you know i know we're sometimes need some light-hearted news but i have to just really steer the ship again into just warning people about what is going on on wheel of fortune they are back this week okay and they're doing all kinds of things to keep people very safe um and this is the deal i i've i've posted in the doc for everyone to see how like

what's what's you know what is wheel of fortune's place in in the fight against covid what are they doing to keep us safe i'm not worried about pat and yvonne and uh what's her name vanna white um i almost called her yvonne yvonne white uh vanna white because they're socially distanced as a motherfucker to begin with like half the time i don't see them in the same shot till the end of the fucking episode so they're good right contestants a little bit more but what about that wheel what do they do um and this photo is just so funny and i'm sorry now that's a joke yes welcome listeners i have a terrible sense of humor but this image of one of the contestants spinning the wheel with this like pvc condom to like basically put on

one of the rungs of the wheel to like make sure no one's doing icky germ transfer it's just so funny to me it seems like i don't know it's like a simple also simple solution didn't they like completely overthink this and just like hey just like wear gloves dummy do you know what i mean like why why would you make somebody hold that thing it looks like the love anyone who's been to a uh like mess hall uh or cafeteria on a college campus you will immediately recognize it for its role as the salt shaker uh on a on a any kind of institutional eatery it's that same sort of like one piece of plastic white tube it just seems like the bottom is missing from it um yeah i don't know i'm glad i'm glad we're safe but a glove i guess the glove maybe would have freaked people out too much we're like well don't make it real yeah that's yeah that's interesting

i would like to see them side by side because i think that would still yeah that would make it seem like things are really not safe and this isn't there like wouldn't there be like what happens when inevitably right a contestant loses their grip on the the little wheel condom and it gets stuck on the wheel and they're like and then it's like then it starts affecting the actual flipper and then maybe if you're smart you could start gaming because like i know if i grab it over here it's actually going to slow it down because it has a thicker piece to move oh that's interesting some added they're making it safer to have sex with the wheel. Yeah, absolutely.

Do we also need these... I guess, yeah, the networks do need their ad revenue. I keep forgetting. Everyone needs to get their revenue going again. Oh, yeah. They need to put some sort of company on that little salt shaker thing. Oh, shit. Gastrol GTX.

Right, exactly. Or something like that. The leading motor oil to keep your parts lubricated. We'll see. So let's move on to another thing, which for me, I'm very excited. As somebody who grew up pretending to be Will in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, this is just warming my heart. As you know, there's been like a reboot being teased. There was like a reunion between the original Ant Viv and Will.

They hadn't spoken in decades, essentially. And, you know, there's like a new clothing line of all kinds of stuff where you could have like that sort of inside out pattern. You know, he used to wear his school uniform inside out to expose that nice floral print on the inside. That was like his little swag thing. All of this stuff is coming back. And now all because it's the 30th anniversary of the show. Now, this is like just like the like how the last blockbuster in Oregon was teaming up with Airbnb. Airbnb is now teaming up with the homeowners of the people who own the actual like the mansion for that had all the exteriors for Fresh Prince.

You can stay there for one night. Damn. This is not exciting to anybody but the old approaching middle-aged black and knees guy. I need to see a price tag on that.

Okay, great. I can go there. Let's do it. No, come on. It ain't. It's $30? Yeah. Oh, okay. It's only a handful of nights and what's funny is like i can go there let's 30 bucks no come on it ain't 30 bucks 30 dollars yeah it's only a handful of nights and what's funny is like for real yeah are they are they giving the money somewhere is it yeah it goes to the boys and i believe boys and girls club of philadelphia okay

i'm on board in a way you're like if you're gonna be charitable like why don't you bump the price up like yeah right all said and done if you do it for maybe six nights, what are you going to give them? 180 bucks off of that? 30 bucks. Your inbox is going to be full of people. At least that's what the listing says right now because you can pull up the Airbnb listing.

And it's saying it's at 30 a night, but the reservations will open up September 29th. It's only available to residents of LA County and it can only be you and one other person. Wow! Okay. And you have to live in the same household to confirm that you're part of at least a germ bubble

of your own. You're not just like meeting up and then turning it into a contamination site. The other thing that's interesting, the way they offer described this night, the mansion offers access to what would have been Will's bedroom and bathroom on the show, along with the poolside lounge area and ritzy dining room. They'll be greeted by bold graffiti art.

Graffiti art. I love that. Yeah. That's what non-graffiti people call it. Oh, honey, how's your graffiti art going? Yeah. What? Just let me go.

I'm going to throw up a nonstop at the old bus yard. It's a huge sticker in the shape of graffiti. Like, right. It says like, yeah, it's like, this is from IQ,

whatever. Don't worry about it. This looks like a Richard Branson hotel. There's also family portraits from the show. There's like his like wardrobe. So you can try on some of like Will's clothes. It looks like there's like that striped shirt that he wore from the intro, some Jordans.

There's also, and Philly cheese steaks served on silver platters. Come on. Yeah. Okay, I've been slowly sold on this whole thing. That's great. I think that's fucking cool. Okay, so obviously this one spoke to me personally for y'all. What's a specific show? If there was an

Airbnb promo one night at X real place from a show, what are you actually getting excited for? Oh, wow. Interesting. I would sleep in the Sopranos Mansion. Okay. That's fun.

That is good. That is very good. I would say I was watching Sister, Sister over the weekend, so that's top of mind. Sister, Sister has to be cool. Honestly, Gilmore Girls House would be cool, even though it's toxic as fuck it's really you know but like what show can we look back on and we have nothing i would stay in the gilmore girls house or this yeah i'll do it too house also i was just on a on a i had nothing to do over the weekend i was looking on a cameo you can get the dude who's

like the french guy who works at the hotel michelle yeah he'll do cameos for you and he's like hey it's me blah blah blah he's like unfortunately no french accent uh but maybe i can do it for you for the cameo and i'm like all those years yeah they're like that's fair i get it he doesn't want to do the character anymore i respect it uh where are you going where do you want to say man that's a good question something from the night i would say okay the the uh test kitchen from chopped that'd be dope i'll just sleep right in there that'd be very fucking cool uh i like that little war room that they have at the back where the chefs are all like oh i think you did pretty good and you know oh right i'll sleep there yeah so much conflict so much like storage closet that they sequester them in?

Yeah, it's a pantry. I'll go stay in the chopped pantry for two nights, but no more than $30. That's where I draw the line. And then I don't know, maybe, God, a rest of development house maybe or something. Oh, that could be fun. The model house?

The model house would be dope, I think. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, I think you can get a ton of money for that. I think, yeah, Gilmore Girls, you could probably make a ton of money. It's funny, like whenever I went for a meeting, you know, LA style, I had a meeting in the Warner Brothers back lot.

Meetings, meetings, meetings. Back before the pandemic. And like, you kind of walk right through like the fake ass Stars Hollow area. And then you're like, man, I would be so bummed out if I was like a fan and like just seeing it like this. Yeah, I would be thrilled.med out if i was like a fan and like just seeing it like this like i would be i would be thrilled i would love to see stars hollow it's

so funny too because now that i live here you're like oh this is just this is very clearly burbank like they go to the burbank they go to the burbank town center mall on that show all the time i was like i know that old navy i've returned shit there. Oh, man. Town Center. Thank you for it. Wait, wait. Oh, the Empire Center, you mean? I don't know. No, no, no. The mall.

The actual mall. The Town Center mall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. It used to be called the Media Center, or Media City Center, back in the 90s when I would go to Claire's and buy my magnetic earrings.

And that's been a little bit of L.A. lore with Miles. And then, lastly, Jamie, I know you're so pumped because you love a debate. You love election season. You love the Democratic Party. You love Donald Trump. You love Joe Biden. You love UFC.

You love jiu-jitsu. I love eating bugs. You are in a jiu-jitsu gang, Jits Mob. We know about you. I saw you just give somebody a standing triangle at line at pink's hot dog for nothing for disrespecting you uh but yeah now okay you put this in the doc but you're saying there's going joe rogan is somehow legitimately entering presidential politics in some way no so my understanding is that he, uh, that it seems more like a,

a Trump instigation thing where this guy, Tim Kennedy at Tim Kennedy, MMA don't know, don't care, uh, tweeted on my podcast with Joe Rogan. He offered to moderate a debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It would be four hours with no live audience.

Wow. So it's like, but it's like from my perspective joe rogan says he'll do shit all the time you know with not necessarily the the expectation that people will take him up on it but trump quote tweeted the whole thing saying i do because he wants to marry joe rogan yeah that's like the second time in a week that he's sort of quote tweeted him on something, I believe, right? This would be, I mean, however people feel about Joe,

every time I shit on Joe Rogan on the podcast, I get dragged in comments for no fucking reason. But however you feel about him, this would be a catastrophe. Joe Rogan is not qualified to moderate a debate. He's already, you know, said on multiple occasions that he'd rather vote for Trump than for Biden. So he's like not qualified. No, on top of it, he has no fucking idea about politics at all.

Like, in fact, he's like aggressive about like, I mean, he said that I think to try and give himself some plausible deniability that he's like aggressive about like i mean he says that i think to try and give himself some deny plausible deniability that he's like a trumper like i don't even pay attention that shit okay he just he just moved to dodge taxes on his 150 million dollar spotify thing so it's like if you're if you're inclined to uh defend joe rogan like stop copping for multi-millionaires and grow up. That's his right, dude. But also, he's sick of jiu-jitsu

and also he hosted Fear Factor. I'm sick of kicking. So I'm just going to... So, yeah. He just moved to Texas because he got an $150 million contract and doesn't want to pay California taxes. Hell yeah, dude.

I feel like it's you're gonna get gouged out here you'd be a fool to pay taxes in california you know yeah now he's in austin and uh yeah we'll see that town get ruined further probably christ well i think i really hope this doesn't happen i in a way i think we need to see it happen as a country so we can just watch it all burn. You know, be like. In every part of it. By the 90th minute, they will be full blown like asleep. You know what I mean?

The idea of a four hour debate. I can't. And like the finger pointing between the two of them. He's like, he's old. And like, I'm old. You're old. And then Joe Rogan be like, I think he's sundowning or whatever and like i'm old you're old and then joe rogan be like i think he's sundowning or whatever and they're it's all just going to be a mess they're going to completely lose the thread of the debate what if he made them smoke weed like that would

fix everything if they did then rogan 2020 you know oh i hate it here i hate it here so much that's the leadership we need a guy who can get two presidential candidates to chief a blunt on stage that's a true unifier you know what i mean oh no it's funny i know but that's why you have to you have to life with that sense of nihilism that you know millennials are really honed and gen x is perfected now now. That's true. That's very true. Yeah, well, with that note, I'd love to end on a high note. So with that, Danny, thank you so much for stopping by. Thank you for blessing us with your food

knowledge, for letting people know that if people are in the LA area, they can hit you up on DM for unregulated street pasta. Hell yeah, every Sunday. I would love to hear that. So where can people find you, follow you, support you, and what's a tweet that you've been liking? Yeah, so you can find me on Twitter and

Hell yeah. A tweet that I liked. This is Charlie Roebuck at Eggshell Friend. Very simple. It just says, Mike's hard. Good for him. Five words. Oh, I felt like it was.

Pretty simple. That's my kind of tweet. That's my kind of tweet that's my kind of tweet yep yep uh jamie where can people find you follow you what's the tweet you know the deal where let's give it let it break it down for us same shit uh you find me at jamie loft is help on twitter jamie crest superstar on Jamie Crest Superstar on Instagram. Bad Dog Sunny if you're nasty. And let's see. What am I? I don't.

Do I like tweets any more? Let's see. All the tweets I'm liking are so sad. Okay. I'm going are so sad. I know. Okay. I'm going to recommend an Ashley Rae tweet from at the Ashley Rae. She posted a picture of Skylar Gisondo. Does everybody know who Skylar Gisondo is?

It's not. You don't even need to know. What is it? What's a Skylar Gisondo? He plays Danny McBride's son on Righteous Gemstones. Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Got it. So it's a picture of him. And she says, I feel deeply that Skylar Gisondo is my boy. Not like I'm attracted to him or anything, but he is just emphatically my boy. Like if I ran into him, the phrase Skylar, my boy, would immediately come out of my mouth. He is our best boy. Really my guy energy. And I agree. would immediately come out of my mouth he is our best boy really my guy energy uh and i agree he just looks like someone that you're just like yeah that's like my boy yeah it's like some like i would

be like i would see him on the street and i'm driving with a friend in the car i'm like yo skylar hey and he's like hey and my friend will be like looks like someone everybody knows yeah and they're like who the fuck was that i'm like i, I don't know, dude. That's just Skylar, bro. I don't know. That's just Skylar. Just keep moving. No one can describe exactly how they met Skylar, but just everybody knows him.

Yeah. So that's from at the Ashley Rice. She's writing some incredible stuff recently. Highly recommend all of her stuff. Let's see. Some tweets I like. One is just from at Billy Wayne Davis. Maybe you've heard of this guy.

But he just said, America is mostly people who've never left their state saying, we have the best country in the world. And I really appreciate that. Absolutely. That just injection of perspective from him. You can find me at Miles of Gray on Twitter and Instagram.

Anyway, we've gone in there, as well as, let's talk about the song that we are going to write out on. Now, I wanted to, I wanted, you know,

put something from Spotify, or, you know, Apple, wherever you get your music that you can find something. But I just heard another remix on SoundCloud that is just so good. It speaks to me personally. D'Angelo's album, Voodoo, I hold in high regard as one of the greatest albums of all time.

If you're not aware of it, it has some of the most amazing production, some of the best musicians playing on it. Shout out Pino Palladino on bass, one of my favorite bass players. Questlove on drums. It's just a fucking all-star group. And this album is just sex personified. Now, the thing about it is people don't really remix it because it's just such a good album. Until now.

I found this remix of the track spanish joint which is really great track you'll probably remember it if you like the album uh and it's remixed by an artist named singularis squared i don't know if the two is whatever soundcloud is really hard to translate what the names are these days but this track is such a great remix of a d'angelo track that isn't like trying to be i don't know it's just giving him its own life its own bounce so please enjoy this on your tuesday until then we will see y'all later when we talk trends but you know other than that just bless yourself and treat yourself well despite things might not be going right there's plenty we can keep focused on and we can still do good so shout out to mutual aid do helpful stuff 100 that's where you can really see the the beauty of humanity is when you can actually see

people helping each other out don't worry about what the people we actually somehow pay to do that with our tax dollars do they're not doing it yeah get involved with people who are beautiful people and please show yourself please zeitgang show yourselves to be the beautiful people that you are okay okay bye bye Okay, bye.

How do you feel about this, kids? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? It's right here in black and white in print. It's bigger than a flag or mascot.
