by rubbing its penis against its ridged abdomen. I said, I've never tried that. So I don't know what sound that makes. Saturday Night in America. Right, am I right? But I was like, I guess that's the equivalent of making sounds by doing armpit farts.

And if I had a dollar for every time I tried to pick up a lady doing that, you know what I mean? I have like two bucks. I mean, when you learned how to finally perfect the armpit fart, where you just go a ham on it like to the annoyance of everyone around you. Yeah. And it was in my thirties, but it...

I guess I rocked a few hardest ones. Transformer blue. Power's out my neighborhood. Power's out. So we're. Yeah. So we're on a hot spot. Oh, it is. And I can tell.

You should see it. You're not even seeing his posture. This man has his fingers locked behind his head, leaning back. That's how easy he is about this. I'm not worried. Meanwhile, I'm like, my foot's shaking a hole in the ground underneath the table.

Cool as ice water over here. That's right. That's who he is in a catastrophe. He's just chilling. Hands behind his head. Hey, I'm chilling, dude. Leg vibrating rapidly. Well, I probably caused it.

So, yeah. How do you think going too hard? What do you, what do you suspect did it when you say you were rocking too hard? It's cause you got like a bit Bitcoin mining lab operation. I got the Bitcoin guys downstairs. I've got my three, um, I got all my hair stuff. Yeah. My hair team in there.

Um, they're in the master bathroom and they get in at around 5 45 every morning. I've got a routine. You know, Mark Wahlberg, how he like has that crazy. Yeah. He's up at like three. I've got that, but it's just for my hair. So it's like my hair's up then. Yeah.

Tweaking it. It's dry. I like Jesus. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Very, very kind of you. Um, yeah, there's a lot of, um, we're drawing a lot of power from a lot of different neighboring counties to Los Angeles.

So it's just really, you know, we got to figure this stuff out, guys. Right. We got to figure this stuff out. The grid, we got to figure the grid out. Yeah. Yeah. If anything for Allen's hair. And those aren't hair plugs.

So that's, that's Natty up top. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Now, the plugs wouldn't even work hair and those aren't hair plugs. So that's that's Natty up top. Yeah, yeah. Wow.

We've got some poignant yet hilarious takes on the celestial bodies that hang in the sky above Oh, maybe some trauma stuff dating's weird, you know stuff. Yeah, the usual We'll get into all of it. We wrap it all up nicely for you Yeah, you're gonna like you're gonna like the way you laugh. I guarantee it All right, and that plug was as organic as the ones in your scalp.

I'll tell you what. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. All right, Alan, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about in the news section. We do get to know the guest in Act 1. In Act 2, Act 3, we look at the news. And we're going to take a look at the media, how the media is dealing with Donald Trump's rapidly deteriorating brain. I keep comparing it for some reason.

This visual is locked in my head. It's cotton candy. If you dump a can of diet Coke on it is what I feel like is happening inside his head, but he's, he's just popping off and the media is giving some interesting summations of what we're seeing him do. So we're going to talk about that. And we're going to talk about some recent election fuckery, because I think that is going to maybe be the story of this election, which is, I think it's going

to be a clean election, you know, it's going to be a clean, clean in and out. We're just going to be like, Oh, look at that. They want everyone's going to be a clean election. You think it's going to be a clean, clean in and out. We're just going to be like, Oh, look at that. They want everyone's going to be stoked. Yeah. Everyone's going to be stoked and it's going to, we're going to be okay. Yeah. Yeah. All the problems actually, we will be able to go back to brunch come November

6th, like everyone wants. We will go back to brunch. I forgot about going back. I forgot about going back. That was a thing, right? Yeah. Yeah, that was a thing. We can brunch back to brunch. I forgot about going back. That was a thing, right? Yeah, that was a thing. We can brunch again, finally.

And then in honor of Chick-fil-A revealing the content offerings on their new streaming content service, we are going to play a little game of, which post-apocalyptic film are we in? Yeah, this feels very Demolition Man. That does feel Demolition Man, but I feel like we've got some other strong content. Yeah. So we're gonna, we're gonna take a look at that.

Uh, we, we, we would love the audience to chime in, which, which post-apocalyptic do you think we're in, but before we get to any of that bullshit, Alan, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? So really I was just home in Florida where I grew up. I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. So when I looked at what I searched for recently, all of it is me looking up like, what did the Carrabbas turn into?

Like, it's me trying to figure out like what this train me trying to remember these locations from my life and like, be like, Oh, is that there? Was that over there? So yeah, I guess I was just kind of like back home and in kind of regression mode and like, you know, trying to figure out where, where my memories, where my childhood was. If I did I even have one, you know, like that's what I was trying to do. And Google, I don't know if you can believe this. Google didn't really help that much. I was going to say, I feel like that the same way too, with like, I'm always trying to

remember, like I'll look at stuff in like the town I grew up in and always try and think back as many businesses as possible while looking at one business. I'm like, before that it was a blockbuster and next door was the Chinese deli. Now that's a UPS store and this is somehow a pet store, but I wish there was just like a, like an easier way to just put in. And I mean, maybe there is it's like with a business registry, like you could just put the address in and then look at the historical site that just does that. Yeah.

Called what the fuck did this used to be? Yeah, that's great. Are we looking at 100% turnover? Any survivors that kind of still stuck with you? You were like, wow, still honestly up and running. Honestly, it was pretty wild. I can basically say no for almost everything. There are a lot of closed.

There are a lot of there is a lot of commercial space for lease. You'll appreciate this. The Clay County, that's the county from the Clay County GOP office moved into the old Mexican restaurant, which is just like that's like you can't write that. And then I was in one place we were having it was like a fine place. It was a pub. And I was like, I feel like I've been here before.

And then my dad was like, oh, yeah, this used to be Ronnie's oysters and wings. It's where we watched 9-11 as a family because family, because 9-Eleven, we all went out and got wings, which is very Florida, I guess. So it wasn't you were out getting wings when 9-Eleven happened, because that was early in the morning. That was like, you were like, might as well go get some wings. Hey, what's up with what's happening?

I'm taking the kids out of school. Yeah, that was like crazy day. Let's get some wings. Ronny's weird. But it was funny, because I was just having- You know what those two airplanes made me think of? crazy day, let's get some wings. Ronnie's. Yeah. But it was funny because I was just those two airplanes made me think of. Wings. Towers.

Those are the flats. If you look at the bones in a flat, boom, those down in a, but so, so, so yeah, a lot of, a lot of that, a lot of that. But it was like, so funny. I was like, I've been here before. Oh, right. Right. Yeah.

Why am I filled with doom? Yeah. Oh, right. This is where I experienced nine 11. Wait, literally the moment where the entire country is turned into even more of a military state. Yeah. Alan, what's something you think is underrated? Underrated.

I'll say this. I think people did start talking about near the end, but the show industry, I think it's really good. I think all these people that are all about the succession, blah, blah, blah. I think it's right there with it. I think that it's going to, I think the next season is going to be awesome. So I'll throw that out there. Industry.

Pretty good. Isn't it? I love it. That was my favorite. That's all I got. Pretty good. Yeah. But yeah, it's like British.

British succession. It's like the first season is kind of interesting. It's kind of like soapy, honestly. It gets, I will say, I think it does get better, but this past season, season three, there were some episodes in it that basically I was like, oh, this is, they're approaching it where it's like each episode is basically like a movie. Oh, okay. Which kind of reminds me of my life, but.

Oh my God. But. I was just gonna say. Yeah. It's just, I think like, and I like diverse cast, very diverse group of directors behind the camera. I think if you haven't given it a chance yet, give it a chance if you like it.

It does start soapy. It follows like, it's some program at some prestigious investment bank. And it's like the people that are the fresh grads, they're breaking into this world, some of their higher ups above them, their personal lives. But he kind of follows people and it kind of coalesces. And then maybe it stops following these people. Then maybe they come back in later. But, um, uh, it's great, you know, for that sort of Sunday night HBO show, it's like, right, knocked it out of the park. Yeah.

I've, I've heard a lot of people compare it to succession and I was like, all right, that's, that's enough for me. I like to see miserable wealthy people fight. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Young strivers.

Yeah. That's right. Like if, if it didn't, cause it doesn't follow as much the like heads of the bank follows like the young analysts coming in, right? But it's like rat race porn. Yeah. Yeah rat race porn. Exactly. You know my favorite genre Yeah, it's very hustle. It's very grind, but it's also like So much of it. I'm just like, ah, they're talking about finances. I have no idea what they're saying or what any of it means. And I'm just like, yes, finances.

Yes. Yes. Finances. But it kind of doesn't matter. I think that's a sign that it's probably a good show if you don't really need to know what they're talking about. Yeah, exactly. I've never been bumped once by a single detail detail of finance and anything like basketball. I'll be like, that's not how you shoot a basketball finance. I'm like, yeah, man.

And those people are smarter than the actual finance people. You can tell by the way they deliver the stuff. Right. Good recommendation. What's something you think is overrated? Cucumber water. It's not even close for me. Whoa.

Yeah. I'm taking, yeah, I'm taking a big shot right across the bow. Yeah. I don't like cucumber. I mean, I do love pickles. So I like brine, I guess, but I, uh, cucumber, something about the texture and something about it, just, I, I just can't help but think why. And I'm not super picky. I'm not super picky. I used to be think why. And I'm not super picky.

I'm not super picky. I used to be really picky. I'm not even super picky. I'm just, I hate when you go to the hotel lobby and you see the slices in there. Like in the, you know, in the, like sort of gratis water that's sort of for everybody. Like, yeah, I, I, oh, and I see those good cucumber slices. I really only ever want a cucumber slice like on my eye. If I'm like in a commercial about what a spa is.

I was going to say you seem like you could be, you seem like a man who might appreciate a couple of cucumber slices on the eyes. I do like going down to Wee's spa. You don't want it in your water. I just don't, I don't want it in my water. It's like a conspiracy theory that Alex Jones has. They're putting it in my water. It's like, it's like a conspiracy theory that Alex Jones has. They're putting cucumber in the water. Yeah.

But yeah, yeah, that's, that's my, that's my. You see what a cucumber looks like unsliced. Yeah. And people swear by it and I'm like, nah, I just, it's not for me. I think I, I recently was, uh, in a lobby and I don't know, I guess I made the mistake of like trying the water. It felt like they just kept pouring water on the same cucumbers. Yeah. Maybe three days. Yeah. And I was like, hmm, let's not do this because I'm I'm like, actually

taste like what the fuck is going on with this? Yeah. Tastes like like like drinking that when like you know, like you buy vegetables and fruit and stuff, but then you forget that like anything that's good for you Or your body goes bad within like 20 seconds of opening it. Yeah, and then it turns into that weird slime It's like you're drinking that. Oh Damn yummy. Damn. That's what happened in my fridge right now. Yeah Does smell yeah that the smell of rotting vegetables also? I've always I've said before on this show smells like the inside of an old person's mouth. And it's very unfortunate.

I don't mind a little, a little QQ water, or at least I didn't mind a little QQ water until you just described it in the way you did. And now I probably won't fuck with it. And, and that's fine. I've tried things that I like. I'm trying to start a movement.

Yeah. Right. Well, I think in LA though, too, especially like they do that to cover mask, the taste of our terrible. Oh, that's actually a good point. That's a good I never thought about it that way. That is a good point. OK, now I'm in. Yeah. I like it now.

Well, no, I just like because every time I'm like, see, you guys are just covering up the fact that L.A. tap water is garbage. That's why you put the flavor discs in it. It's like a municipal program where they're like, try cucumber water. Maybe. They just drink pickle juice. I don't know. Just don't drink just the fucking tap water though. Just don't do that. Please, please. And are we trying the Dua Lipa Diet Coke with pickle juice and with jalapeno juice in it?

Oh, this is my first time hearing about it. I'll take a swig. Yeah, I think I'm gonna try it. Yeah, okay. It seems like something that a person who doesn't do drugs would wanna do. Yes. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?

That's all I've got now, man. This is how I get wild. I put this other shit in my diet coke. Exactly. And you're like, come on, man. Just up use opioids like the rest of us. A little bash. Yeah.

Come on, man. Just do some opioids. Grow up. Yeah. Grow up with this shit. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the news. Yeah, but it's also because it's a ride. Yeah, I know. And you're up and down on it. But you're in it, you know? Yeah, exactly. You're in the spook.

I think we have to let them in on our little surprise. Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out, can't believe this, Mariah Carey will be joining us this week. I say, oh, I wanna go work with such and such from across town. Yeah, from across town. My girl across town.

Yeah, across town. I know a guy across town. I know a guy. Re. I know a guy. Readers, publishers, Katie's, and finalists, tune in to maybe the most unforgettable episode of Lost Culture Eastus yet. There's one more question which I promised myself I would ask. Can you drop that grunge album? I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet.

But you don't have to be mad because you're in control. I am, but who do I drop it with? Should we start a label? Maybe. Wow. Listen to Laszlo Dries, us on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or whatever you get your podcasts. Stick to sports.

Sports and politics don't mix. Or my personal favorite, shut up and dribble. I've heard these complaints throughout my sports journalism career, but despite what some people believe sports and politics have mixed since the beginning. Now you have a podcast that isn't afraid to explore the complicated marriage between sports and politics with a new podcast called Spolitics with me, Jamel Hill. Join me as I fearlessly explore political, social, and economical issues through the lens of sports

with some of the biggest names and smartest people. You might even learn something. So here's the assignment. Listen to Spolitics on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And let's get Spolitical. On Thanksgiving day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.

He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian, Elian. Elian Gonzalez.

At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation, something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the MyCultura podcast network,

available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History is back. Season two, season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season we're taking a bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history.

Saying that the most popular cocktail is the Margarita, followed by the Mojito from Cuba, and the Piñucolada from Puerto Rico. So all of these things. We thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the ninth century BC. BC?

I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. besties in real life. And as all besties do, we navigate the highs and lows of life together. And what does that look like? A thousand pep talks. A million I've got yous.

Some very urgent I'm coming up first. Because, I don't know, let's face it, life can get even crazier than a season finale of Grey's Anatomy. And now here we are, opening up the friendship circle. To you. Someone's cheating? We've got you on that.

In-laws are in-lying? Let's get into it. Toxic friendship? Air it out. We're on your side to help you with your concerns. Talk about ours, and every once in a while, bring on an awesome guest to get their take on the things that you bring us.

While we may be unlicensed to advise, hmm, we're gonna do it anyway. Listen to Call It What It Is on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We talked on yesterday's trending about the fact that Donald Trump continued to say wild

shit over the weekend. If you missed that, Miles, can we just give them a- Just for the record. Quick update. For the record. Quick update in case you missed yesterday's trending weekend episode. This was Donald Trump again. He's trying to court voters in Pennsylvania and decides to

evoke a Pennsylvania native by the name of Arnold Palmer. But Arnold Palmer was all man. When I say that, it all due respect to women and I love women. But this guy. But this guy. This guy. Yeah. He's horny.

This is a guy that was all man. This man was strong and tough. And I refuse to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there and they said, Oh my God, that's unbelievable. I had to say it. Again, no, you did not.

You did not have to say that. Trump going into his, I guess that one's more for me. Of his standup routine. He's got, he's got, he's got the juice back, man. He's got the juice. Look at our boy up there. The jalapeno juice. He's got it in him.

He's got it. He went going into that speech. His campaign said you were about to see him pivot to like his closing message. said you were about to see him pivot to like his closing message on the. And it was a decidedly one for them, one for me, one for me, one for me. I just love that. I mean, I feel like, so when this we're we've been watching his brain again to evoke diet Coke again with cotton candy diet Coke is really having a strong presence in this episode.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because I drink three a day. But yeah, we've watched this decline happen over many years. And just over the last month and a half, it's just been in turbo mode. Last week, he gave up on life and just swayed to music for 40 minutes. And we were like, really? This is like really bad. Like this is not a person who has their shit together,

who should be not even like the 3,000th most powerful American in the country, let alone the world. But yeah, the rhetoric's getting more violent. He's just evoking more kinds of fucked up shit, like the bad genes we have, the enemies we have within, etc. Yeah. And so...

Straight up Nazi shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. And then so like you look at the media and you're like, so what's... How are you going to describe this? Because I feel like the distillation of what he just said was, hey, ladies, I love you. But Arnold Palmer's dick was a sight to behold. I'm sorry.

That's just my truth. I'm Donald Trump. Please vote for me on November 5th. F's just my truth. I'm Donald Trump. Please vote for me on November 5th." Felt like that's what essentially he was saying. So Marcy Jones put together like a sort of a list or like in her coverage of this, of just how like other news outlets were even describing again. He said many other things, but obviously talking about Arnold Palmer's junk was like the thing everyone's like, what the fuck is this? Politico said, Trump appears energetic in scattered Pennsylvania speech.

Scattered. But energetic because he definitely perked up at the thought of talking about Arnold Palmer. He was smiling. Because the other big thing that happened is that one of his events in Michigan had audio issues that they couldn't figure out for 40 minutes and he seemed to fall asleep on stage while that was happening. There was another one where his mic went out, I think, and he just wandered the stage for

16 minutes. Yeah. That feels like more of a- He literally fell asleep. It looks like a production thing where you could have been like, Hey, the mics aren't working, get off the stage. But a lot of people were like, this guy's losing it and left out the context that the mics went out. It wasn't that he just decided to not talk.

Which I think was like, I was like, come on, like there's plenty of shit where he's objectively losing his mind and we can talk about that. Yeah. You don't need to, you don't need to cut context with Trump. That's kind of like, you know, it's like, what? That's like taking a hat off a hat or something. I don't know. You could give context and be like, why the fuck would he stay up there if the mics weren't working?

Like if you were to come, all right, folks, I got to get up. They got to sort the mic out, man. I don't know what the fuck's going on. I'll be right back as soon as this is done. You know what I know? You know what I noticed recently? I watched him. I watched him at that. What's that thing they do in New York

where it literally is like a roast? They do a roast of each other. Kamala didn't do it. But Trump did it. It was like, I think a couple days ago. Yeah, the Al something dinner. The Al Smith. There's a bunch of people in weird tuxedos,

not normal tuxedos. It's like white tie. It's like a white tie thing. It's like you can only get it from the Catholic church or something. You can only get into like, if you work at Wayne enterprises, like it's some weird thing where like it goes over, but he, it was interesting. The angle they had at it. I think there were some audio issues there too, but the angle they had at it.

You could see. You could see through, through his hair more than you ever could. You know what I mean? And I do think that, I'm like, I think that, I'm like, oh, he's like Sampson with like his hair, like his hair literally, like you can see where he is full on bald underneath this like ridiculous cotton candy thing

that he's like put together. The vapor layer. And I'm like, oh, the the sunlight's getting in. There's stuff it's getting to the brain. And it really is. It's really throwing them off. I think I think he needs that Lego Lego piece dome. Yeah, right. Yeah. block out the rays. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's what's going

on. I mean, this is why we have you here. This is your foremost men's hair expert. I mean, this is why we have you here. This is, you're our foremost men's hair expert. I was a hair guy. Yeah. Our hair guy says things are fucked up up top. It ain't getting through. The New York Times in their, in their writing of this rally, they say quote, Donald Trump opened his rally at the Arnold Palmer airport in Latrobe,

Pennsylvania with a 10 minute monologue about the golfer for which the airport is named and who grew up here in the most pivotal battleground state with election day in just Sorry, Miles gets choked up sometimes. Sorry. I love Arnold Palmer's and I love vague descriptions of people who have deceased genitalia. The former president spent the entire opening telling Arnold Palmer golf stories before finally launching in on the border. Oh, stories. Arnold Palmer golf story. I think what they think was happening in the showers, did they think that was just like he was showing them his swing?

They kind of missed the context of that? I don't know. Maybe because he technically said he technically said he could, he drove a ball further than Arnold Palmer did head to head once. That's a golf story. And I guess it's a golf story because it guys at the golf tournament would look at his, we don't know if it's either gigantic or microscopic penis that was unbelievable. Oh yeah.

You were pointing out. Oh, that's true too. He never says what they were remarking at. That's true too. He never says what they were remarking at. That's true too. That would be so wild. If it like Arnold Palmer's family's there and he's just making fun of him for having a little dick in front of him. But then I guess with the stories about Trump, Trump's genitals from Stormy

Daniels, he's like, and that's, and that's all man. Cause Arnold Palmer was like that too. And we're good. He's still manly and it doesn't matter. Yeah. The Washington Post. Trump fixates on Arnold Palmer as all man in showers during profane rally,

turning his attention to his rival after a meandering start, Donald Trump used profanity to insult Vice President Kamala Harris. CNN, Trump's closing pitch to voters begins with profane attacks and a lewd story about a Hall of Fame golfer. Like some are descriptions, but none are really sort of getting to the actual point.

Like the headlines should be to some point like what the fuck does Arnold Palmer's dick have to do with Donald Trump being president? I'm a single issue voter. Oh, I got to know. That's the only thing I've paid attention to. Finally, someone's talking about it. Uphold the memory of Arnold Palmer. Don't just reduce him to an iced tea and lemonade mixture.

He's more than that. They all went, ah. It does feel like the overall vibe of the coverage of him still hovers in the Trump's got that dog in him range. When it comes to the New York times and the Washington post, like these places that are just, you know, they're afraid of what will be said about them if they criticize him more so than the democratic side. It'd be funny if he just started saying everyone had a huge dick. If that was his new thing, just everyone.

Doesn't matter race, gender, whatever. Everyone's got a huge dick. That's a platform. I mean, that's fun. And vote for me. I will talk about how big your dick was. Ruth Bader Ginsburg. They say she was a giant of the Supreme Court.

And folks, let me tell you, when the other Supreme Court justices would get out of the shower at the Supreme Court, they'd go, whoa, whoa, my God. I do I do like to imagine the Supreme Court showering. Showering together. Yeah. Oh, my God. Middle school gym class. Yeah. Oh, God.

No. No. So anyway, that we'll see. I think like with the media, too, I think there is also just sort of like they're kind of like, fuck, man, what else do you want us to say? Like, you know, he's bad We we only know how to cover this one way and the elections like in two weeks man. Just fucking leave us alone Just leave us. Yeah We're going through it too, you know You're actively not going through it you're taking the easy way out all the time with this like euphemistic nonsense

Yeah, like there there is a double standard with like how they treated Biden, you know, misspeaking and you know, the definitely a higher standard there. I think it's also that Trump appears to be enjoying his brain dissolving, whereas Biden was struggling against it. And Trump seems to be just going, yeah, thiseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yeah. This is fucking. This rocks everyone's looking at me. This is probably going to work out for me too. Yeah. That's right. It's vibes.

Yeah. Oh, he's going to adopt the vibes thing, I think for sure. Oh, the way he did the weave. God, he still, he loves talking about the weave. I think they were talking about your hair, brother. Uh, all right. My hair jokes are on point today. Back to actual stakes.

It is worth looking at just what, because the one kind of piece of election f**kery news that I feel like broke through to the mainstream was that this Georgia thing, like we'd been covering the fact that they had taken over the election board in Georgia to try and make it so that all votes had to be hand counted, or was it just the- No, so if all votes had to be hand counted and was it just the, no, so, so if all votes had to be hand counted, and then if then they failed to get an accurate count based on the hand count, then, then the, this,

the election board could step in to make the determination. I'm like, so they just created all of these like hoops to jump through that ended with, to step in and eyeball it. We're the ones who are gonna get to certify the election. Luckily a judge heard the case and invalidated all of this shit. They're like, no, you're not there to decide.

You're just there to push a stamp on a piece of paper. That's not for you to determine whether or not something can be certified. You just certified as it having happened. That one seems to be headed in the right direction for now. For now. But there, for now. Yeah. But there's so many things going on, right? Like it's just, there's just like a smattering of just little, it's, it's again, like anything sports, whatever you got to pick away at the margins.

You know, it's not always like the big blockbuster thing. So like, for example, in Wisconsin, right? Like a number of college students and people in their 20s who like lived on or near college campuses received text messages telling them that they could go to jail and be fined if they vote in a state where they aren't registered. And they're like, it's illegal. Don't even fucking think about it. But the statutes that they were like, even like they were citing them in the

text message, like penal code or civil code, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. Like that was for people who would like Wisconsin residents who are voting absentee. Because like if you're an, if you're a student, you are fine, you are able to vote if you know any young people in Wisconsin who are like, what's what are the rules? Again, you are able to vote if you're going to like that that is a that is a a right that has been extended to you by the state of Wisconsin. So if you've, they say like according to the law, just so it's clear, if you've lived in one voting area for

28 consecutive days and plan to continue staying there, you can vote in those places. And this is according to the state's election commission, even if a college student returns to his or her parents house on weekends temporarily, they can still vote where they primarily live, such as on college campuses. Bo. And let me guess, they're voting for avocado toast. Am I right?

No, let me write in avocado toast. That's not even the right reference, that's too old. But I messed that up. Let me write in Hailey Bieber's smoothie from Erewhon. There we go, that's what we needed. Wow. There we go. Okay, yeah. Brought it back, Jack, you saved it with Hailey Bieber's smoothie from Erewhon. There we go, that's what we needed. Wow. There we go.

Okay, yeah. Brought it back, Jack, you saved it with Hailey Bieber and Erewhon reference? Yes, please. Yeah, then Elon, while he isn't offering people like megabucks to vote for Trump, one of his PACs is doing their own bit of misinformation campaigning by targeting Arab

and Jewish voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania respectively. So people in Michigan are receiving ads about Harris's pro-Israeli policies. I mean, which is true. Wait a second. Yeah. But that one actually is true. Yeah. But in Pennsylvania, voters are seeing ads that paint her as at least like staunchly anti-Israel. So they're like, they're having it both ways with their mailers, like doing anything they can to suppress the vote, outside of traditional like disenfranchising of like voters, which- It's still early. We don't know what they're going to do in that respect.

But truly. Then you have election workers also fearing for their lives. A recent study found that around 38 percent of election workers have received some kind of threat for the work that they do. And in North Carolina, they're apparently installing bulletproof glass at the Durham County elections headquarters, just just in case, just in case, I don't know, just, that's just got a feeling maybe maybe maybe it's necessary, who knows? I mean, because we did see people gathering outside of

vote counting centers in 2020 and just like screaming. So again, based on all of the conspiracy theories and bullshit that's out there to get people super fired up. This also seems quite believable. But yeah, I just think this is this. This is probably just the just the beginnings of it Like I feel like so much more is gonna be unearthed in the lead-up to the election and beyond of like what's happening because Rudy Giuliani who

Lost his legal license, but is still licensed to drunkenly please himself on camera He's already making shit up about the election being fixed about like being really vague He's like, you know, it's like basically saying, you know what the Democrats are going to do. They fix elections. Even when they win, they just do it for fun. That's what they do.

And Marjorie Taylor Greene and Elon are also spreading lies about Dominion voting machines. Again, if you don't thought you were done hearing about Dominion voting systems, that they're saying, just like, I heard that the machines magically switch a Trump vote to a Harris vote. And that's, that's really, really just we have to look into that dominion is like, I think they have like a rapid response crisis

center where they're just rebutting all this stuff in real time. It's like came out and they said, quote, the false claim that voting machines can switch votes has been repeatedly debunked as both state and local authorities have confirmed. And then they go on to say like the one time there was anything like that, it was purely because of a user error, like the voter fucked up and it was like, ah, I want to, I need to change it.

Right. So. Yeah. It's fine. I'm pretty, that'd be pretty cool if it did do that though. I have my, I would vote for that. That'd be pretty cool. Voting machine. Yeah. The Democrats should be as corrupt and willing to break rules as the

Republicans pretend they are because that's how corrupt and willing to break rules the Republicans are and they're only accusing you of the shit that they're already trying. They should be like, if we did steal it, you got to admit pretty good. You got to give it a little bit. All these fuckers didn't vote for Trump. We didn't switch. We fucking crazy, man.

It's crazy. We switched. We switched it. Yeah. They do it in other ways too. They switched the samples. Yeah. Reference.

Well, they like to be more subtle, you know, like not having a primary before an election. Right, right, right. That's their way of being like, yeah, we can put our thumb on the scales in different ways. All right. Let's take a quick break. And when we come back, we are going to play a little game called which post-apocalyptic film are we in? We'll be right back.

Hey, Bo. Hey, Matt. Yeah, exactly. You're in the spook. I think we have to let them in on our little surprise. Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out, can't believe this, Mariah Carey will be joining us this week. I say, oh, I wanna go work with such and such from across town. Yeah, from across town.

My girl across town. Yeah, across town. I know a guy across town. I know a guy. Readers, publishers, Katie's, and finalists, tune in to maybe the most unforgettable episode of Los Coltriestas yet. There's one more question which I promised myself I would ask. Can you drop that grunge album?

I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet. But you don't have to be mad because you're in control. I am, but who do I drop it with? Should we start a label? Maybe. Wow. Listen to Laszko Dresdas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Immigration, reproductive rights, why former first lady Michelle Obama will never run for president, affordable housing, exactly the type of discussions you'd expect on a sports podcast. Am I right? Only if you listen to Spolitics, a new sports and political podcast hosted by me, Jamel Hill, a sports journalist who has spent years writing about and discussing the intersection between sports, politics, race, gender, and culture. Join me every Thursday as I discuss, debate, and dissect the hottest and sometimes most

controversial political and social issues with some of the biggest names and smartest people all through the lens of sports. So here's the assignment. Listen to Spolitics on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Because on Spolitics, no one is told to just shut up and dribble. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel.

I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba.

Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban,

I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story as part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon wrapped hot dogs?

Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast Hungry for History, is back. Season two, season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? And this season, we're taking a bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history.

Saying that the most popular cocktail is the Margarita, followed by the Mojito from Cuba and the piñuculada from Puerto Rico. saying that the most popular cocktail is the Margarita, followed by the Mojito from Cuba, and the piñuculada from Puerto Rico. So all of these things, we thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the ninth century BC. BC?

I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, BB King, Miriam Makeba. I shook up the world. James Brown said, said love.

And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important as anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment.

I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And so there's big news in a story that we've been following. Yeah.

The big news also in the streaming world. You know, we were all rocked with the announcement that Chick-fil-A is getting into the content game. Yeah. Where they're basically going to create their own streaming service where you can watch shows that we were speculating based on their YouTube channel would be about cows that like do wacky shit like Warner Brothers style.

They have a cartoon series that has like surprisingly a lot of views where like cows get into wacky kind of Looney Tunes style adventures. And then there's also a show on their channel called Evergreen Hills, Stories of Evergreen Hills that has very suspicious view count. But- Hey, come on, man. Why? Just because it's faith-based? There's a lot of Christians out there, man.

A lot of Christians watching that. So the show Stories of Evergreen. So those are like two of the things that were announced, right? They're going to do. Yeah, except I think, I think the, the cow one, they now are cows that run a gay conversion therapy sort of like business where they, yeah, where they, they sort of victimize chickens or something. Yeah.

Yeah. And another one is about the power of Sundays, I believe. Or it might not, I don't know. I'm just, I'm just spit balling here, but it's, I think there's a less than zero chance that it could be something like that. Just checking the view counts of stories of evergreen hill on YouTube. This is not suspicious at all. We've got 218,000, 214,000, 141 million for another episode.

Oh, that one's really good. I watched that one actually, because I was like, is this thing just like fire? Is this like the best piece of content? It is a 10 minute long little animated morality tale about bullying. There's like a bunch of world building where like an old guy takes his young helper to like the spark tree and he's like the spark tree works like this. You can get the spark, but you must use it like just a bunch of rules and shit. And there's just no reason I can conceive of that.

Anybody would be watching this shit on purpose, but well, if that's why I think that that's what makes this kind of getting, it gets a little freaky, right? Because before, like they're probably just finding some like Christian production companies that are just like, they're like, yeah, we like to make really boring shit. Uh, will you buy it? They're like, they have like people behind the shows, like Top Gear and

the X Factor and like that game show on NBC, The Wall, like they're, they're doing deals with like, like proper production companies to like take their shit to the next level. And also let's not forget scripted podcasts,, which we all know work all the time. I've never seen one not work. The wall. That's the game show, The Wall. Yeah. Pink Floyd. That's The Wall. No. Who knows?

I just wanted to make sure I had that in mind. It sounds like someone had the idea at Chick-fil-A. They're like, what if we did cocoa melon for adults? Yeah, that's what that's what this sounds like. That's exactly what it feels like It's like maybe AI is writing it and like it's just turning out this stuff or something. It's very um It's a brave new world guys Yeah, very brave courageous new world exactly. So it does make me feel like I'm in a post-apocalyptic film, as have a number of stories in recent weeks.

Like not just like, oh, theoretically, I see how this feels like we're in a weird post-apocalyptic movie, but like, we were talking about this LAPD dog, robot dog that they introduced, and the video of them being introduced, one is a shot from a news helicopter where the news reporter is like, there it is. Then you see it walk on this. It's straight up out of RoboCop.

It could literally be lifted from RoboCop. And like, there's other like news shots where it just like walks by the news camera and they're like, wow, there goes a hero. Who rescued who? Right. Exactly. And there's like a news story that like compares it to the size of a golden retriever

instead of more threatening, like, you know, just they picked the friendliest dog possible. Yeah. Right. But anyways, and then our writer, JM, made the observation that the footage of Elon Musk giving a giant oversized novelty check to someone who registered to vote for Donald Trump,

that is something that is on TV in the background of Robocop. There are these very specific moments that keep happening that feel like they are just shots from Robocop. Yeah. But overall, theoretically, like this story about Chick-fil-A streaming has more of a demolition man, idiocracy vibe. Yeah, I was about to say, idiocracy for sure. Like I, and I, I just had, it's happening in my life too.

Like you're, you'll just, I was up in Oakland area. I went to fast food place. I went to the drive-through. They had one of those centuries. Like you see them a lot in like downtown or parking lots. Like it's like a police stand. There's like a pole. There's silence on a camera's point.

Yeah. Yeah. And it was out there and like we're in line of the drive-through and the speaker just starts going, welcome to Carl's Jr. We are here for your safety. And I was just like, oh my God, it's straight up idiocracy. Like, like welcome to Costco. I love you. Like whatever. I was like, oh my god, it's straight up idiocracy. Like like welcome to Costco. I love you

Like whatever I was like, oh my god, so wild. Yeah, it's uh, it's it's really We're really it really is like a movie out there dog. Like we really we really are like it's like I'm like did someone cast this like did someone? Yeah, we're missing out. Yeah, this is getting close. Yeah Carl's jr. Was the thing from Idiocracy, right? I think it was Carl's Jr. too, or it might've been Jay and the B. Jay and the B. Yeah. Got to put the Jay and the B.

But I felt safe. Yeah, and you did feel safe because who's going to look after you better than Jay and the B. Welcome, or you can have it your way. Oh, it's Carl's Jr. It was Carl's Jr. It was Carl's Jr. and Idiocracy, right? Yes, yes, in Idiocracy. Okay. In Idiocracy, it has a couple of details that I had even forgotten.

I didn't realize that part of it was like everyone wears Crocs. Yes. The same thing that happens in idiocracy. Yeah. The thing that Mike judges quote on it is just so funny because he's talking about the costumer's decision to have people in the film wearing Crocs. He said, and I said to her,

but you actually bought these, you can order these shoes. What if by the time the movie comes out, these things are everywhere and it doesn't look like we're set in the future and said, oh no, that's never going to happen. These shoes are too ugly. And sure enough, by the time it comes out two years later, everyone is wearing Crocs.

So it already started coming true even faster than we made the movie. Really. Um, which is wow. You don't, you don't spot on. You know, it's also funny and the idiocracy, the, the like normal person just milling about like an extra whatever. That is who Trump is appealing to with the Arnold Palmer dick story. Right.

Like that like, oh my God. Oh, well, well, it was a nice run. It was a nice run. I know. It's like it's too. I think that's why like, you know, Brian, the editor, he was saying he watched it recently and he's like, it was a mistake. I can't.

This like just hits weights in a way that is just, it's not funny anymore. It's disturbing how like this is, this isn't even like it, even like with the marketing stuff, it's like, oh, it's got more molecules and you're like, whoa, more molecules. Yeah. Yeah. And how we are with like electrolytes or even shit like, you know, totally this is alkalized or whatever. Like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. And how we are with like electrolytes or even shit like, you know, totally this is, this is alkalized or whatever.

You're like, okay. Yeah. I mean, they have the show, Al my balls, which is a pretty close corollary to many TV shows. They have a WWE character becoming president. Yeah. We've already crossed over there. And that sounds like Donald Trump was like the reason he made

such an effective like public figure being in a WWE storyline is because he has in his entire career just been a WWE character. Yeah. There's like a lot of stuff about people not paying attention to their surroundings. Like when Luke Wilson like pod crashes through Dax Shepard's wall and he doesn't even look up from his TV. They still watch TV in Idiocracy. It's actually better because they aren't walking around with the TV in their hand.

Right. That's true. There's less distraction, but still that was something that was seen as abnormal enough to put in satire at that time. distraction, but still like that was something that was seen as abnormal enough to put in satire at that time. Right. That people would just be like, what is this screen saying? That Carl's Jr.

That now I think of there's that part where the, like the Carl's Jr. claims the woman's kids. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, Carl's Jr. believes no child should go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr. And you're like, that feels it's like, like the Chick-fil-A summer

camp for kids when they're like, what, what is this? Like, oh, they're going to labor here, but we're going to call it a summer camp. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. And people pay for it. Yeah.

Yeah. But corporations are people as Mitt Romney said to us, you know? Yeah. And we must care for- That was like the, we should have been more scared then, but we were like, Mitt Romney is an idiot. Yeah. But he was right.

He was right. Corporations are people. And now we're at a point where they're the only people who have legal rights, really. Right. Like there's only people who can actually get anything to change. So what, what other, what uh, children, there's like some depressing answers. There's like children is like the bleak answer running, running man is. Have you guys seen running man?

Oh yeah. Running man is great. And I think they're rebaking it. Like I just saw something as a reality show. I was like, Oh, like, I don't know something, but, um, I think, I think there's very running man vibes out there in the world right now. Yeah. Yeah.

Especially like the shots of like before they even get into the game. Right. That's what children of men is like the, like very bleak, like the footage of just like world at large stuff with like, there's like a refugee crisis and. Oh, that's right. That's right. My people are getting trapped in cages and, you know, the lack of children being born also you could tie to like lower birth rates or plastic balls.

Yeah. Yeah. Everything was plasticized now. Yeah. That's like so funny. We're like, uh, I don't know. It's probably children of men, but that's too bleak. So, idiocracy. Well, it's also probably Elon Musk's answer because he's like,

the biggest problem facing us is underpopulation. Come fuck me. Right. Be one of my three million children. Yeah. I like the safe entertaining combo of our falling apart world is probably demolition man mixed with idiocracy. Yeah, I'm going Robocop idiocracy because demolition man also feels like

it would be a conservatives answer where they're like, you can't say anything anymore. I can't even be racist at this museum. Yeah. No, it turns out I can and just people will at this museum. Yeah. No, it turns out I can and just people will be mean to me online, but otherwise my life is normal. Yeah.

Planet safe. I mean, brand consolidation definitely happening, although it's more, it's not that like Taco Bell took over all the other restaurants, it's just like one company behind the scenes takes over all the other restaurants. It's just like one company behind the scenes takes over all the other companies behind the scenes and they're all just like one mammoth company. That's like, you know, with their a thousand faces. Alan, where do you land? Which one are we? What's the combo here for you?

I mean, yeah, I think there's definitely theocracy vibes. I'm also thinking about water world a little bit, but I guess in like, we're going to a water world where it's just the problem is Nestle owns all the water. Right. Like, yeah. And so that's why we have to drink our own pee or whatever. But he was able to convert it. It looked like, yeah. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. But we made, you know, that's what we'll have to do. We'll have to use all the pee that's being stored in bottles at Amazon warehouses to convert into water. For us. Yeah. For us. Yeah.

Yeah. The regular Lord. I mean, I think a lithium would be like a good answer, but like I would have to watch at least see them and like, I know that there's a lot of them. I haven't seen much. Now I like, yeah, I really need to. Cause that that's the one where like the wealthy just like escape to a small. Yeah.

Suborbital space station. Yeah. Is that the one where they like, they can buy, they literally can buy time. Or is that, um, that was just in timber. About time. That's about time. Okay. Yeah, I think so.

Yeah. Justin time. Justin Timberlake is just in time. Okay. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Justin time. Justin Timberlake is just in time. Yeah. Yeah. With like Amanda Seyfried, right? I think was the, was the cohost or co-star. Sucks.

I did watch that one. I think it's called. I also watched it too. In time is what it's called. Yeah. Good concept though. Would it be your time was on arm. Well, I think that's what's like, I think just makes satire and sci-fi,

you just realize there's a real art to it. Because when you're really good at just thinking about how these things play out, whether in a satirical way or you're trying to create a cautionary tale for about the future, they're putting a lot of ideas together that eventually end up being like spot on. Like, I feel like, you know, in the early days it was always been like the Simpsons. And now people are like, Octavia Butler was right the whole time. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Parable of the Sower gets a lot right, unfortunately. Yeah. I don't know. Uh, Zeit Gang, we'd love to hear pitches. Don't just say the name of the movie though. Hit us up with some details that you think rhyme particularly well.

Snowpiercer probably too. And there's so many things like that. The little elements of it anyway. We eat bugs. We're, we're just, I mean, I guess we should say upfront that on this podcast, we eat bugs and drink our own piss. All right. Yeah.

So. Snowpiercer is funny because it's like, man, I wish we had high speed rail like that. Oh man. Yeah. Like in California, you're like, Oh, it's actually a good, that's actually a good movie. Aspirational snow piercers are aspirational.

Post-partialist work. They're on time. Yeah. Mad Max is like, feels like where we're headed, but I don't, yeah, mad man, it's not that cool yet. You know, escape from LA escape from New York. I feel like, I feel like that's like, that's like seven, 12 years down the road, maybe a little longer, but it does feel like we're getting there for sure.

Yeah. All right. Well, Alan, what a pleasure having you on the show. Thanks for having me guys, seriously. Thanks for making it through the technical difficulties, exploding transformers, using a hotspot, your phone as a hotspot to connect you. You've done it all.

It's dystopian out there. It is. God damn dystopian. Oh, you can't plug in 17 hairdryers at once under the same search strip. What is happening to America? That's real. Where can people find you, follow you, see your next special, all that good stuff?

Go check it out. It's very funny. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Oh, well, I guess I said industry, huh? Oh, you know what? You know what I did watch? I just watched it with my sister was, um, I think it's just called Chimp Crazy. It's the guy that did Tiger King and it's about a woman who has a chimpanzee.

And it is that guy's real good at making strange animal based documents. Yeah. Like, it's so crazy, but they're very good art to it. And just, um, again, yeah, it's like, it's one of those things too, where it's like, I think there's four episodes, but it's like, it's they of those things too where it's like, I think there's four episodes, but just the way they set up, the way each one ends, it's just you're swinging from vine to vine.

I'll say that. How about that? But yeah, really good. There's some really crazy people out there in this beautiful world of ours. Amazing. Miles, where can people find you? Is there work in media you've been enjoying? Find me on Twitter and Instagram at milesofgray. Find Jack and I on the basketball podcast, Miles and Jack, I'm at Boosties.

Also find me talking 90 Day Fiance on 420dayfiance. There's obviously a lot of people are still talking about the Donald Trump working the McDonald's fry line in the window at the drive-thru window. This from at Roy Wood Jr. tweeted, When I was 16, working in a hospital cafeteria, a 38-year-old co-worker named Mike7four slapped the shit out of me because I told my supervisor he was out back doing cocaine instead of helping me in the dishroom. This is where politicians need to be working. Sunday morning ain't shit in most food service jobs. Work fast food on a Friday night after

high school football or deliver pizzas. Put Trump, a man down in a two-man dishroom with the front line begging for clean plates, while Mike seven four out back trying to buy by getting off the nurses and their cardiac wing. Dishroom, a sweat box, 300 degrees steam and off the nurses and the cardiac wing dish room a sweat box 300 degrees steam coming off the machine and here and here comes With mr. Wallaby cussing because the silverware ain't rolled yet bitch

It ain't rolled because my co-worker is high sir whichever candidate survive a shift with Mike 7-4 at the at the health south rehab hospital in Birmingham and Can find out why he added seven four to his name. Blackmail vote locked in. I guarantee. By the way, there is a big headline on drudge right now saying McDonald's stunt enough to win election. Talking about how well the McDonald's stunt went for him. At least at the end of that.

He looked at home. He did. He did look at home in there. He looked happy. He always does. That's the thing. He seems to be enjoying this, unfortunately. That guy loves McDonald's, man.

That guy truly loves McDonald's. It's a lot of brands. Yeah. He will serve it to you if you win the National Medal of Honor. That picture of him with all the burgers, that's art. That's art right there. Accidental Renaissance. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien,

a tweet I've been enjoying. Carl Lobo brought this to our attention from Goose Lander. It says, do not run across a crosswalk apologetically. You are of this earth and walk among her choir. The devils commanding their wretched chariots have long since severed the roots of their flesh and need a reminder that a leisurely stroll triumphs the roar of their insatiable machines. I've never once crossed the street in front of a car and not like started to jog and give a little apologetic wave.

And now I won't be doing that anymore. Yeah. So, I mean, and you lived in New York, like they're the kings and queens of that shit. Of the jog? You're like, no, I just been like, yo, fuck your car. You know what I mean? Yeah. New York is different.

New York, I've probably never done that because that, you know, I've got to walk through the heart beat of the city. You have to apologize for apologizing. They're like, Hey, what the fuck? What do you apologize for? Asshole? You're like, I gotta walk to the heart beat. Then you have to apologize for apologizing. They're like, hey, what the fuck? What do you apologize for, asshole? You're like, I'm so sorry. I mean, fuck you. All right, have a good day.

And for whatever reason, the guys child started like tick, like just robotically ticking, like in the, like he was doing what people were doing in the TikTok video, but instinctively he didn't see it. Like in the like he was doing what people were doing in the TikTok video, but instinctively He didn't see it. He just heard the track and started doing it and then I was like get in here He's about to do it. He's doing dances to this song and and it's like like like I don't know did jepetto go through this with pinocchio or no one believed that he was like actually moving around He's like, I swear to god this little fucker is doing it.
