Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented Steve Hernandez. It's great to be here. Let me paint a picture for you. Jack looking good as usual. Young JFK vibes. You always say that. Patagonia sheep, like sheep jacket.

It's 74 out. No, you know, who cares? Yeah, yeah. It's freezing upstairs. Oh, yeah. All your good looks must make you so cold. Meanwhile, I'm fat over here in a t-shirt feeling great. Miles, I don't talk about your looks because I feel like it's a given.

Because we live in our society and this thing, everything. You got all these improv white women just throwing themselves at you. I mean, that's the- No, facts. When I used to do UCB, oh, your boy was doing it. Are you kidding me? Eating good in the neighborhood. Yeah.

Are you kidding me? So I don't talk about- I talk about Jack as a family man. He just goes home. It's all sad. They go to Chili's at night. I'm a giver. I just go down on everyone on the first date.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You've had your fun. You played video games for 15 years with your friends. This poor guy has had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Poor son of a bitch. You know? Yeah. Just go home, my kids.

Yeah. Look at their beautiful faces thinking, what have I done in this world? That's right. With this political climate? Exactly. Yeah. Well, Steve, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.

People are shocked about the revelation that James Corden does not drive the car during carpool karaoke. So we are going to talk about that. We're going to disillusion you guys of some other things that you might not know about movie magic. And if you do know, please don't do the thing where you're like, oh, yeah, we already knew that. No shit, bro. We are going to talk about Joe Biden's interaction with that reporter where he said, why, why, why, why, why a bunch of times and then told him to chill the fuck out. Relax. Relax, man.

Hey, relax, guy. Even though I just did a Skrillex in person. We're going to talk about impeachment. We're going to talk about... There it is. We're going to talk about Sonic. And then we're just doing a big science dump. A lot of scientific facts coming our way about your balls having taste buds in them.

Mainly that. Mostly that. Yeah, mostly that. Actually, let's just get right to it. Let's get down to business, guys. All right, so we've got three different sauces on the table. This one's very hot. Oh, yeah.

Well, okay. Steve has already started. hot. Oh, yeah. You know. Okay. Steve has already started. Yeah. Well, as you can see, I'm already deep. But first, Steve, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? All right.

I checked this out. I didn't hear, but I was hearing all about it. I checked up Zion Williams' premiere. Did you guys talk about that already? No. Okay. He went off a couple of days ago for 17 points in three minutes for the Pelicans. They still lost against San Antonio.

Hadn't seen it. I checked it out. It was amazing. You didn't look at this at all? Anybody? Nobody? No. I watched the highlights.

We just haven't talked about it. No, yeah. Sometimes we talk about sports a lot. Sometimes we don't talk about them at all. I'm just glad to see that he's not looking like a Greg Oden type of draft pick. Where it's like, oh, man, a lot of promise. No, he came back. What was he, out three months?

Three months. Greg Oden, though, was 38. It's something nobody was going to talk about but we're truth killers here at the daily zeitgeist i know 38 15 kids it doesn't even make sense was so old looking yeah well he had to bend all that time picking up his 15 kids right uh but yeah zion is something else man he i mean that, that was exciting because he started out and he was like, he started slow in, in the debut. Like for the first, like first, first couple minutes, like people were having to be like, ah, first assist from Zion. Wow. That's exciting. Uh, and then the fourth

quarter finally rolled around, people were getting a little nervous and then he scored 17 points in a row. Yeah. That doesn't happen ever. I mean, he probably, I don't know if the term applies to basketball, but he may have been backed up a little bit. Right. He just really needed to start just tossing out ropes. Yeah. I don't know how else to put it.

You go off of 17 straight points. I mean, that's like some shit. That's like possessed man basketball. But I just like to see the comforting words from veterans. Like Giannis is even like, hey, man, just don't rush this, bro. Right. Like, you're good. Don't score all the points at once.

Don't score all the points. Don't score all the points. Because he put up, I think, 23 in like- 22, I think, yeah. 22 in like 16 minutes or something. So it was- Not bad. Now, for me to even look this up, I'm not a big sports guy.

So I'm just a Dodgers fan really. Oh, so how are you feeling about us being back-to-back World Series champions? Yeah. I really am upset about that stuff. You know, it really bothers me. But I will tell you this, story-wise, if the teams are a narrative,

I do like now, because I just hated our manager so much. Yeah. But now that you see everybody basically got screwed, I feel like going into this next season feels like a movie. Like everyone's going in with a chip on their shoulder. Like if we can get one more season out of Kershaw, it's like it was nobody's fault.

They were cheaters. I know. But he took a ding from the fans, though. That's what I'm saying. And it's weird how watching even on Twitter people apologizing to you, Darvish, also being like, hey, I'm so sorry. That's what I mean. I was mad.

I was mad all the time just with everybody else. And now this gives us a different narrative to be like, all right, they were screwed over. Almost all the fans are like, we're sorry. So everyone's going to, I believe, coalesce and be like, all right, this is our year. Let's give it all we got. There's going to be no more, coalesce and be like, all right, this is our year. Let's give it all we got. There's going to be no more cheating.

So I love this feeling. Let's give it all we got and lose in another World Series. Who knows? I mean, I really think we would have won those things. I'm not one of those sports fans that is just committed to their team no matter what. I like to speak about things realistically. But I really think we would have won those World Series, at least one of those.

I don't think the Boston one. Oh, yeah, Boston would have beat the crap out of us. But the Astros one, my God, because there were moments where I'm like, how the fuck are these games so close? It didn't make any sense. The Dodgers were just playing out of their mind in that series,

and then it just, it's like the Astros just decided to hit whenever they wanted to. By the way, we are doing sound effects now every time Miles says ding. There will be a ding in the background. What is something you think is overrated? The movie 1917. Has anyone seen it?

No, I'm about to see it. It's overrated? It's overrated. In what sense? Now, this is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Film. It's very beautiful, but it just did not connect with me emotionally. We reviewed it this week on Views from the Vista. Zed Kutzinger loved it, but the rest of us just was like, oh, it was fine.

It feels like a trick. I feel like, right. It's not a movie you go to see because the story is so good. It's more because they're like, wow, this is more like a filmmaking experience more than like a storytelling, right? Yeah, Zed really compared it to Gravity, which everybody- That's a divisive film too.

Yeah, it's the same thing. If you go, you take it for what it is. If you saw, I saw Gravity at the IMAX at Universal and it was so cool and I got really wrapped up in it. It just didn't happen to me. I said 1917 at the Universal, IMAX as well. It just didn't click for me. I just didn't give a shit but

did you like this because you know for people who don't know it's meant to look like one seamless master shot with no cuts it's all happening at once did that even was that like wasted on you like 30 minutes in yes because you knew it wasn't one shot you were you were right because you knew they had to cover you're kind of looking for the scene you're looking for the seams so it's like i saw one shot where my man jumped off a bridge and went to the water. And I was like, bro, I can tell from the blurry, the blurriness of the motion. Anyway, but I still want to see it. Just for me, it's not even because I'm like, this movie's going to be sick.

I'm just more like, you know what? If you took the time to really want to make a film that looked like that, I will respect the energy you put into the filmmaking. And that's why I had to see it, too. I wasn't like yearning to see this movie i've seen so many war movies i don't think emotionally they're gonna do anything new uh but i i still was hoping whenever i go see any movies i'm always pulling for them i don't want to waste my time of course uh that's why i love cats you know uh yeah jamie loftus encouraged me to go see it and we saw it on sunday and i was blown away by it i absolutely loved it i don't what did people expect from a movie from called cats yeah because you went into being like this is about to be a farce well it was a musical you

know i saw phantom of the opera when i was a kid too and i love that it's a musical it's supposed to be weird and preposterous right uh i love cats but 1917 in my opinion is overrated but i do hope it touches you if you go to see it i'm not you know no hate it's hard to make a movie yeah all these directors man like giving props to their grandparents right chris nolan's grandfather like inspired dunkirk and then uh what's our boy's name uh mendez yes sam mendez uh his sam mendez's grandfather was also in the first world or in the first world war which and then what's our boy's name? Mendez? Yes, Sam Mendez. Sam Mendez's grandfather was also in the First World War, which inspired this.

I guess what will that inspire us? I've been waiting for a really dope World War I movie since Dan Carlin did his whole series on hardcore history about World War I. Do you ever listen to that? Yeah, I love that show. That shit is brutal. Yeah, brutal, but also just so visceral.

Yeah, I was waiting for that. So I'm going to check it out. I'm not going to check it out because I believe it was one uninterrupted shot. Do they ever just go, hey, look over there? That's why I hope to. I hope that this will bring down your expectations enough so that you'll enjoy it. Because most movies,

hell, guys, you know, life is all about expectations. So if I can bring your expectations down, remember that I think it's overrated, go in there, and then hopefully it touches you in some way. I'm into movie magic, folks. What's something you think is underrated? A night on the town with your romantic partner.

What was the last time you did it? Hey, buddy. Jack. Put me on the spot here. It's been a couple weeks. I know it's been a while. Two weeks? It's been more than that, probably.

Yeah, I'm thinking months. A couple loosely defined. Well, the holidays just happened. Right, the holidays did just happen. It was my lady and mine. It was our five-year anniversary. All she wanted to do was go to Dantana's. Have you been to Dantana's?

No. I mean, I know about it, but I have not been there. Yeah, it's on par with like Musso and Frank, so it's that kind of a restaurant. Beautiful, squished in there. I knew I was going to be spending a lot of money. I don't drink, but my woman wanted to get sloshed. I was like, let's just do it. We went. We sat there. We had an old waiter. I mean, this place just does it right.

You're like, hell yeah, the financial system has failed you that you're working in your old age. No, this guy makes five or 600 bucks a night. Yeah, I know. You know what I mean? So he's drunk. I see him cheersing wine to people. Oh, he's drunk? The server was drunk? Yeah, but in a good way. Like in a sloppy, like in a movie when you're a kid watching. Not like spitting on the back of your neck.

Oh, no. Like, oh, madame. He's like bowing and that kind of stuff. Right next to us, there was a 53-year-old man on a date with a 24-year-old. I was loving that. Hollywood, maybe. She was Latina. It was so funny.

She was so, so much younger than him. At one point, he was like, you know, I feel like we're connecting on such a spiritual level. And he said this. He goes, I mean, I feel like I'm on Punk'd or something. And she said, what's Punk'd? Oh, shit. I feel like I'm on Punk'd. She didn't even know what Punk'd was.

I was like, oh, man. I don't know anything before that. Because this fool was digging deep for his youthful references. That had gotten him by for a number of years on his dates with 20-somethings. But no more, sir. You have aged out. It was delicious. It was wonderful.

We had sex before, which is anybody. You guys have been together forever. You want to get that sex out of the way. It's 630, you know. Yeah, not full stomach sex. Yeah, no, no, no. I want hungry sex. You know what I mean? we want i want hungry sex you know i mean i want to be hungry for you in every way yeah we got that out of the way we went home by 10 30 i would have

liked to have gone to a sex club but you don't want to go to a sex club on a full italian stomach folks i'll just tell you that but i've always said that yeah i wonder if that guy before like this when he was dating young women he used to be like oh, oh my God, I'm waiting for Dom DeLuise to come on. I just feel like I'm a candid camera. Don't you think kids say the darndest things? That would have been more appropriate. He's like, you know, I agree with Bill Cosby. What? Because kids do say the

darndest things. But take the time. If you have the money, go wherever you can go. I've been saving up for this. I didn't want to think about it. But you know, I used have the money, go wherever you can go. You know, I don't, I've been saving up for this. I didn't want to think about it. We went that thing. But, you know, I used to work at TGI Fridays in West Covina.

And Valentine's Day, the Cholos would come out with their girls, with their Jainas. And they would all spare, everyone, full racks of ribs. Take your ruka out. Yeah, take a couple of apps, you know. We would have a champagne special. Everything out the door for $85. Do what you got to do. What's important, even if you don't have that kind of money,

is that you look into the eyes of your partner and that you say, I am here, I am present, and I appreciate you. Wow. And, you know, Jack, I really think. That's great advice. I really do think that you. Are you, like, following us on Instagram? You're like, no, they need some help.

It's like, yo, these stories are looking sad. Neither one of you guys post anything good on Instagram. I know, I'm sorry. You guys are both terrible follows. Yeah, well. When. Neither one of you guys post anything good on Instagram. You guys are both terrible follows. When was the last time you even posted anything, Miles? I don't even know. Yeah. Because I'm like terrible. I know what you're like.

You're like, I give these people my heart and soul every day. That's right. If you want that kind, you can hear me talk for an hour. You want fucking more, bro? Seriously? No, I agree, though. I need to start making more of an effort to set aside a day each week. I've heard that advice like three times in the past couple months.

Are you talking about for romance or for Instagram? Yeah, for Instagram. To have the lit stories. Share with the fans. Share with the followers. I just can't imagine what it's like to have kids. I mean, it's just all dedicated. Right.

You need to just get the sitter. Yes. Find some more sitters. Get the sitter. You know, get the sitter, damn it. Get the sitter, damn it. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false?

Guys, if you like things in your butt, you are gay. This is not true. Oh, okay. This is not true. Can you tell that to my gym coach? okay okay this is not can you tell that to my other thing for you okay well actually i think your gym coach told that to you and you never listen miles you never listen uh i keep trying to in 2020 i did it a lot in 2019 but in 2020 i'm making a real push for gentlemen to start using butt plugs now uh i don't care everybody

knows that i'm fearless in terms of sexuality and intimacy. I identify as queer because labels are for fucking, you know, dopes. But fellas, I'm telling you, Miles, you will- Plug it up. You will come so much harder. I'm sorry if you're listening to this in the morning, guys. You will come 50% harder with one of these things. I know you're scared.

Let's get your beloved. Let's start off with some digits. I don't care. I mean, yeah, it would be good to have something that's made to be a butt plug. Well. Because this DirecTV remote ain't doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, my lover for our five-year anniversary got me the B-Vibe Rim Rimming 2.

Wait, what are you describing? The B-Vibe Rim Rimming 2. Wait, what are you describing? The B-Vibe Rim Rimming? It's a- Rimmington? Rimmington Steel? This is a $150 butt plug. Oh, wow. This is the Cadillac of butt plugs.

Wait, so it does- Okay, go on. Okay, so it's a butt plug, whatever you're picturing. Sorry, it looks like a big wiener. There it is. She's got it right there. I know that seems big, fellas, but once you get in there, I don't even know if it could be big enough. It might be impossible.

The key to the B-Vibe Rimming 2 is that it comes with a remote control that works up to, and I don't know why, 30 feet, folks. 30 feet with that remote. It's charged up. Bluetooth? You're going to want good range on that thing. It connects to your Spotify, so you could just, I don't know if you've ever had your butt plugged. Like a subwoofer? Yeah, to Rihanna's anti.

Just go the whole way through, guys. Desperado is going to take you to the next level, folks. But I'm telling you, you guys, if you've ever thought about this, if your wife wants to get kinky or your partner wants to take it to the next level, folks. But I'm telling you, you guys, if you've ever thought about this, if your wife wants to get kinky or your partner wants to take it to the next level, look into a butt plug. What's a low investment butt plug? 15 bucks. Okay. So, okay.

15 bucks. And then you start off with a three-incher. And by the way, for you women who complain with guys with small penises, three inches is plenty. Okay. So I'm going to tell you that right now, fellas, if you're worried about yourself. Start off with a three-incher. Go to a five.

And then see where God would have you to be after that. Let the Holy Spirit talk to you. But I'm telling you, fellas, I know you won't. Jack, I know you won't. What? I'm just saying. Me? Guys, man.

Guys, it's 2020. God gave you other areas besides your penis just to mess with. This will help you have fun and be vulnerable, which is something that men I know are typically afraid of in the bedroom, is to be vulnerable. But it'll help you to make a connection with your lover that you haven't previously. So, fellas, it is not gay. You know, if that's something you worry about, obviously I don't.

I have sex with men a few times a year, about as often as I eat Little Caesar's pizza. And for the same reason, Jack. Because they're hot and ready. No, I just forget what they taste like. It's not pizza, baby. It's not pizza. It is. That was a

great myth. Let's talk about James Corden. Speaking of, none of that, I guess. Butt plug. So people are surprised that James Corden doesn't drive the car during car pool karaoke. There were images on Twitter, right? Years ago when One Direction was still together,

there was a tweet that was viral. Someone's like, Oh my God, I just caught the Corden carpool karaoke with One Direction and it was on the ground. He was driving it. Someone recently caught him with Justin Bieber, and they saw that it was on a trailer.

I don't know what the proper production term is, but it's on a trailer, so James doesn't have to drive, and he can just focus on the performance aspect. Wouldn't it be illegal to let him drive while he was performing? Like with a camera in his face? I mean, it depends, right? I just, I don't think it's illegal. I don't know if it's illegal.

I think, yeah, it's not smart. Right, right. Especially when you have like, you know, like people like Mariah Carey or someone in the car. It's like, you don't, you're not going to fucking crash with her in there. Earlier we were having this conversation and you said people like Michelle Obama in the car.

Yeah, she was done with it. This time you've gone Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey, yeah. Our most precious jewel as a culture. Yes, exactly. We love Mimi. Yeah, and so recently this picture went out, and people on Twitter were like, they acted like the fucking sky was falling.

One person goes, just found out James Corden doesn't drive in carpool karaoke. The car just gets towed. Absolute joke. Absolute joke is amazing. Another person is like, wait, so James Corden doesn't even drive in carpool karaoke? What the fuck? It's so interesting to me that their vision of carpool karaoke was so contingent on the fact that he was driving. Right.

You know, they're not even in the carpool lane. Right. That might even fuck you up even more. Right. And they aren't going anywhere where it would be a carpool. You know, fellas, I just think you're not understanding, like, because this isn't our demographic. Right.

This isn't to hit us. Right. But this is all some people have is this carpool karaoke. Yeah, it's big. You know that they've won Grammys off of this carpool karaoke, right? Right. So, yeah, this is very important to some people. What if you found out the Bible wasn't real?

Have you thought about that? Yeah. Yeah, so that's what we're talking about, guys. And I'm not saying the Bible isn't real. You guys know I take that fucking shit to heart. You're a youth pastor. All right? You're a youth pastor.

Literally. The inerrant word of God, folks. Yeah. Yeah, it's just, you know, I think it's like anything living here. The movie magic is not something that we experience. We're like, yep, that's how you do it. Everyone shoots everything on the same backlots here.

Like every show is on the Warner Brothers lot. Once you learn what the Warner Brothers backlot looks like, you will have the wool pulled out off from over your eyes i don't know how that metaphor works but right uh yeah it's you see it everywhere um miniatures are everywhere uh everyone wears wigs as we've talked about on this show before yeah everyone wears wigs because people are like wait what but they don't it's like yeah because they have to keep the hairstyles consistent because you don't know what a person's, what they're doing in their personal life, an actor or actress. So, you know, they wear wigs. Yeah. Also, my favorite one is a small man played a little Mikey in Look Who's Talking.

When the first one, the baby's wandering around New York City, that was a little man named Mishu Mazaros. That happens a lot, actually. They use little people a lot as stand-ins for children uh and they also use contortionists a lot for like horror movie shit like the exorcism movie where that uh girl like crab walks down the stairs backwards yeah that's just a contortionist doing that ah that wasn't someone possessed by i don't know. There are certain things that I just assume are like some sort of camera trick or something. That same guy also was in the elf suit who was the baby. Oh.

Is that true? Yeah. Fucking genius. All right. We're going to take a quick break. 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. 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.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours.

BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.

That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for

meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And let's get into Joe Biden, how he's dealing with the upcoming Iowa caucuses. You know, he's not, he doesn't have to be back in Washington

for this impeachment bullshit. Yeah, well, the front runners are. Right. So he's got Iowa all to himself. And he, I don't know, it seems like he's like a little tightly wound right now. I mean, look, he had a campaign event in Iowa. A reporter, you know,

made the mistake of asking him a question. Right. You know, and he got the right response from Joe Biden. Look, you ask Joe Biden questions, don't expect a non-touchy answer. So let's just hear what happens. So essentially this reporter was asking to clarify the feud between him and Bernie Sanders. And that's sort of where the launching point is.

Yesterday you said you accepted Bernie's apology and now you're attacking him. Why are you doing that? Why wasn't his apology enough, Mr. Vice President? Why attack Sanders? Why, why, why, why? You're getting nervous, man. it's okay he apologized for saying that i was corrupt he didn't say anything about whether or not i was telling the truth about social security slow motion punch to the sternum that's how how he closes it, by the way. And the reporter is just like

Ed O'Keefe. He's looking at him wide-eyed. He's like, did you just really come at me like that? Because his eyes light up. He's like, and then even starts kind of stroking his jacket and shit. It's funny because you could tell in the sort of delay in Joe Biden's mind,

he's like, I'm doing the thing everyone told me to stop doing, which is like touching people or like the moment. Yeah. And he's tough, Joe. That's when you go calm down, man.

Yeah. Huh? I bartend and it really, I've seen this actual move go. It's like, he's like, he's drunk. Right.

I think it's just because, uh, I don't know. He's probably stressed out. I don't mean to be ageist, but everyone's making the jokes. It's because he to be ageist, but everyone's making the jokes. It's because he's so much older, but everyone's older. Yeah.

But this is, I, in my opinion, this is tantamount with Howard Dean's scream. But treated very differently because, you know, like back then I was, I was sort of making this similar point is like in 2004, that's they toss your ass under the fucking refuse pile. But now it's like, oh, but we need him to maintain the power of the ruling class. So let's not look too much at this. Right. If Bernie did this, it would be the equivalent of the Dean scream because they're just looking for an excuse to get that motherfucker.

But Biden, they can't do it. It's funny. I mean, when you also look, too, I think there's a recent poll that came out that a majority of non-white voters now support Bernie Sanders. They're starting to, like, you know, he was always, it felt like every debate answer he had at the debate last week was, well, you know, I got all this African-American support. I got all this African-American support. I got all this African-American support. Yeah, yeah. And now you're saying, like, well, hold on, because now Bernie is actually, like, he he's connecting with uh non-white voters too that argument is sort of not as strong as it used to be right and i think that coupled with looking at like you know in the cnn poll which is one of the bigger polls uh bernie sanders has overtaken biden so nationally yeah nationwide yeah yeah

huh so it's i mean i think biden still leads in Iowa, but it's, you know, hey, calm down, man. Calm down. Chill out, man. Five thirty eight. Who's who are like keeping a composite of all the polling? Has it Biden two and five chance of being the nominee? Sanders one and five. Warren one and eight. Buttigieg one and twelve. And then anybody else less than one in one hundred. eight Buttigieg one in 12 and then anybody else less than one in a hundred. I mean, I still,

I believe that cause I don't think there's any end to what the establishment Democrats would do to try and keep their boy Joseph in the race. Right. I, uh, if you, you must, if you haven't seen the video,

you have to see the video too, uh, for everyone's reaction. But also I, I would instinctually have punched joe bite him yeah with his eyes wide like that and he comes at the guy and he pulls back you can see him pull back but he really wanted to put his hands on the guy too yeah so i instinctively i'm not a violent person i don't think that's a solution to anything uh but i would have punched him in the stomach

and then what would have happened i would have went to jail but it would have punched him in the stomach. And then what would have happened? I would have went to jail, but it would have been awesome. I think of so many things, reasons to go to jail, and how I would be a folk hero. I think about that kind of stuff all the time. Crimes that we can't talk about. I remember I've looked at Julia in the eye and I said, if they let me podcast from prison, I would do it. You don't want to be there. Says you. I just – three squares and that sounds pretty good to me.

Three hots and a cop, baby. Yeah, this – you're absolutely right, Jack. This would have sunk him before. But I also think that trump has really brought down like he's just so out of bounds with everything yeah i think i in a good way um that it might have opened up for people that who previously haven't ran in the past will be able to run because a lot of this kind like the howard dean thing that wasn't a big deal this i think is more you can see he's frail and uh he's under a lot of pressure and he may not

be able to handle that i mean if he's like going you know wide-eyed right what if he were if trump were ever to debate him like what would that look like all it would take is trump just to do his like bullshit kind of like poking at him and like i don't know if biden would keep his composure i'd be like you know what you son of a bitch like if you'd say something like that but although who knows that could be a moment people like you know what i fuck with joe biden right it'll just be very messy presumably yeah as much as i don't want him to be the democratic nominee i wouldn't mind them battling each other push-up contest yeah there would be a lot of challenges to push up contests you know that i think that is his instinct Your instinct is to punch him in the stomach.

His instinct is to challenge you to a push-up contest. I wonder if there's a way you could trick these old guys into thinking they were running against each other, like Trump and Biden. But it's like this American Gladiator set they get to. This is how it is now. Yeah. Yeah, and with the Dean's scream, that also came after, I think it was after Iowa, right? It was after he underperformed in the first contest. And so they were looking like that. The narrative of Howard Dean is not, he's not going to win the nomination,

was like starting to take off. And then they used the Dean screen to snowball. Right. Yeah. Well, we'll see how the mainstream media kind of covers these things. Bernie, keep your composure, you know, bro. Don't have another heart attack. If you're thinking about having one, just wait until after the nomination.

That's how things work. I insist. Okay. He's just – I'd say he's – Klobuchar and Warren are just like, all right, we're on pause right now. Right. Just fucking catch a breather right now.

And then we'll hit it. Is this story, is this clip getting a lot of pick up? I mean, it's just more like meme fodder than it is like, oh, you... I mean, if anything, there's like a Daily Beast article that came out that's like, Bernie Sanders compared

workers in Vermont to slaves? Yeah, that just came out. I don't know, guys. Do you want that to be the nominee or whatever? I think if people begin fighting over it, to me it's just a funny moment. But it is interesting when I think about, because PowerD was pretty progressive, what that did to him. But now we're in this position and you can just wait

yeah uh bernie has the joe rogan endorsement and he has the killer mike endorsement i mean what more do you want i'm sure some i'm sure some quadrant candidate some cool ass person is laying in the cut waiting right uh yeah but we'll see who that person is. It's Donald Trump. I like this guy. I like Bernie, too. Oh, huh. Hillary. That's what we're all waiting on. His whole fear is just losing to Biden.

He doesn't mind losing to Bernie. He's actually just, you want to take over? Well, no. A lot of Republicans feel about Bernie the way that Democrats felt about Trump, where they're like, oh, yeah, this guy will fucking clean the floor. Oh, please let it be the guy who's communicating to many segments. Right. So let's talk about impeachment. Let's talk about the president we have.

I'm talking about impeaching this. Senators are playing with toys and reading books on the floor as they struggle with what's being termed digital detox. Oh, because they can't have phones in there. Because they can't have phones. Or any electronics. So they're just playing with fidget spinners. Democrats are continuing to complain, demand, beg for witnesses. I think Mulvaney is kind of their number one.

I think Bolton got a lot of attention, but Mick Mulvaney, they're kind of like, nah, that would be the guy. Actually, he was in every room. Whereas Bolton, you could always spin it as, oh, well, he got fired. He's got sour grapes. He's got a bone to pick.

Can't see his mouth under the mustache. Maybe that's not what he was saying. Now, forgive me, guys. I haven't been following this as closely as you have. Can the Republicans just continue to say no? Yeah. Yep. Because they have the votes, right?

So it always comes up as like an amendment where Chuck Schumer, like on the first night when they went to like one in the morning, he was like, okay, here's an amendment to subpoena documents from the Department of Defense. And then he would read, like, someone would read the bill out, and then they would take a floor vote. And then he'd be like, okay, so that's tabled. Okay, next one. And they just went through basically to show them, he's like, okay, so I just want you on wax saying no to every single thing. But yeah, they have the votes to basically prevent any of that. I mean, with a simple majority, they could get these things, but it's, you know, 53 or 47.

So the one thing Democrats have is that 70% of people who are polled about this want to hear from witnesses because- Even 70% of Republicans. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's- That's even the most, like a huge chunk of people want the evidence. 69% of Republicans, 84% of Democrats want to hear. The question is, should they allow witnesses with firsthand knowledge of the impeachment charges to testify? It's hard to argue with that. If you're a no on that, then you're kind of already just like, leave my man alone.

Yeah. Don't. he's good well i think on some level right you you do want to be able to have some semblance of a trial even if you do support the president because the argument would be like dude that was a sham i wonder if some of that is like yeah i mean like look if our guy is innocent like why don't why don't we just have the evidence yeah it must be right yeah i mean yeah i do think there is a different i do think there are plenty of republican people who still still feel that these are the democrats just going after him and trying to so they're like let's just get it over

with i think uh i think i read a study that even some people think he should be reprimanded just not taken out of office so yeah let's just deal with this and move on the more that uh the republican senate just keeps on um boycotting everything that the uh the democrats are doing what do they expect is going to happen it's not going to go away they're just disgracing themselves it's weird because you know prior to this i think we're all like yeah there's going to get there and it's going to be a sham but to watch it play out is a completely different experience for me like watching it because i'm like jesus they're like what they're leaving Senate, like the chamber while Adam Schiff is like trying to present a case to be like, I don't need to fucking hear this.

Hold on. Y'all are supposed to be fucking jurors. But this is just this is the level of, you felt, I think, at the time very similar, like the Republicans were just coming after him for no matter what, the Democrats at least went through the process and did everything. It was the same thing. They were like, well, we can't win, but let's still impeach him. But they're like, all right, fine, and we'll get everything out there. And it's not going to make him look that bad. Yeah, he lied about this. They went through the process.

But if the Republicans aren't even willing to go through the process, I think this works uh for democrats i think it works in their favor because there are a lot of independents and liberal or not liberals libertarians are conservative people who did vote in 2016 just against hillary this is something where the people still like to at least have some kind of believe that they're morally righteous so right i think this might backfire on the republicans you'd. You'd hope. You'd hope. You'd hope. Like if we were living in a just world,

you'd be like, that would put them in an untenable situation with the voters, and they'll get all voted out. I mean, that was trending on Twitter, but that's not an indication of where these races are going to go. They do say that two-thirds of Americans are at least keeping tabs on the trial. So at least people are paying attention to it. Well, it depends on where you're watching the trial, though. Right.

What channel are you tuned into? Yeah, so you actually checked out how the trial's being covered on Fox News. My God, it's a fucking joke. They will cut to commercial mid-sentence of Adam Schiff starting to raise some very salient points. Right. mid-sentence of Adam Schiff starting to raise some very salient points. Right. And then they legit cut the audio out, do a picture-in-picture,

where now Adam Schiff is reduced to the lower corner, blow up the middle. It's the My Pillow Guy commercial with the audio from the My Pillow Guy. Yeah. So it's essentially like, okay, you don't need to hear this. And even then, even while they aren't in commercial, they'll suddenly just cut to studio so all their talking heads can just put their spin and like get the propaganda out, like in fuck with people in real time. So you're never, if you're watching it, you're meant to believe like nothing matters. It's, it's all bullshit, but it's interesting too. Even when you hear the logic that the even guests on these shows are like using where it's sort of like, yeah, well, you know what? I mean,

like we've seen this all before. This is nothing new we're hearing about in this trial. Oh. And also we also prevented new evidence. That's why we won't see anything news, but we will still make that the criticism of this without acknowledging the fact that we have made it impossible for anything new to be presented. Yeah.

So it's all, it's just so disingenuous. Yeah. Incredibly cynical. So, you know, if you really when you start during the impeachments, if you're watching, then there's that kind of coverage. And then when you get to primetime, like with our boy, Fucker Carlson, this is how he opened his show the other night. The Senate impeachment trial is still going. It's been in progress all day. They would be forgiven if you didn't watch every single minute of it

Imagine a movie written and directed by children who's ending you already know and by the way It's 20 hours long in Hungarian with misspelled subtitles That's what it's like. We've been monitoring it anyway all day because that's what Anything interesting happens during this hour. Yeah, so that's what we're doing. We'll alert you if anything interesting happens during this hour. Yes. So that's where we're at. His complaint is that the production value sucks and it's boring. Yeah.

And also James Corden doesn't drive the car on corporate territory. Exactly. The special effects suck. I don't think Fox News ever tries to. I think the way they live with themselves is they say that they are an entertainment channel and not a news channel. Right. So they're just giving the people who watch Fox News what they want. Right.

Fox News, people who watch Fox News say that they think it's news. I mean, what's funny, like, you know, Judge Andrew Napolitano, who they have on all the time, he wrote an op-ed where he was like, you know, to be honest, there's plenty of evidence here to support impeaching and removing President Trump. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, he's been sour ever since the president wouldn't give him a Supreme Court nomination. That's what Trump says. Hey, whatever it is, you know.

Right. Yeah. All right. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back. We're going to take another quick break. 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. 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 US 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.

They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. They're just dreams. Pagliacci, delicious cuisine, and of course, Lucha Libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture.

This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Santos! Santos! Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring.

This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of my Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. And Sonic, finally. The Hedgehog. Am I right? The Hedgehog himself.

Yeah, so I think this was already sort of a punchline because it came out. The trailer came out. The trailer came out. Everyone was pissed about the teeth and the eyes. It looked very bad. And they were like, we're so sorry. We're sorry. We're going to change it.

We're going to change it. Just wait until Valentine's Day and we'll put it out. Right. But it turns out that this actually might end up being a successful movie. Well, it's weird. There's projections already saying that for the four-day opening, because I think it comes out President's Day weekend, they're saying it's going to be anywhere between $41 and $47 million,

which I was like, oh, that's probably more. I mean, it was made for $95 million, and that's not including the marketing costs, which who knows what that's all going to shake out to be. But it seems like they're pointing to the fact that it did help that they address that issue because it makes it seemingly more palatable to people. I don't know if I'll see it, but for those that love the Sonic franchise, bless you. Who's the bad guy in it jim carrey dr robotnik well that's that that might make it better right yeah but i think people were

so focused on sonic that they didn't even realize who else was in it they were like right what the fuck did you do to him like what is this guy yeah so yeah ben schwartz is the voice and is Ryan Reynolds in it somehow or am I just confusing it with Detective Pikachu oh maybe Dr. Pikachu is the spec script that I'm writing it's coming at you soon dude doctor Pikachu not detective

that'd be so fucked up he's smarter than Detective Pikachu James Marsden that's who it is Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Jim Carrey top build I mean, he's smarter than Detective Pikachu. James Marsden. That's who it is. Oh, hell yeah. Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Jim Carrey. Top build. Yeah, it'll be interesting. I mean, we haven't had the, I guess Detective Pikachu was the closest we've had to a blockbuster hit

that was based on video games, even though that was also based on like a card game and a whole movement. Top video game movie, you're saying? Yeah. How did Tomb Raider do? movie, you're saying? Yeah. How did Tomb Raider do? I think it did fine. Yeah. It did fine.

Street Fighter II, we can't forget that. That was amazing. Rest in peace, Raul Julia. His final performance, which if you watch it, it was always fun to watch, but it really does hold up. And Kylie Minogue, I believe, is Cammy. You're absolutely right. Who could forget Super Mario Brothers? We were just talking about that.

Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper. Samantha Mathis. Truly scary bad guys. Those tiny head dudes. Those Koopa Troopas. I was like, no, no, no, no, no. The lizard head dudes with broad shoulders. No, I will not.

To a point where that's a way I describe people sometimes now. If I see someone with a huge rip-do and a tiny head, I'm like, oh, Koopa Koopa looking dude. Yeah, but it hasn't been a great run, so I will be interested. Because it doesn't seem like they should be doing as badly as they are. I think it's just like video game movies got off to a weird start, and they've just not really recovered. You're keeping the faith?

I know. I mean, I'm not a fan of them in any way. It just doesn't, like, logically, I don't quite understand why they always do the worst thing you would expect. I don't think, I don't understand why they continue to make them. Yeah. Like, who, 30 or 40 years after the, the 30 years, 25 years after the Sonic the Hedgehog game was popular. They made Battleship, though. I mean, they made a board game.

Yeah. What was that? They just want, they'll use Shampoo Bottle as IP, you know? Right. Well, I hope good things for it. I'm sure a lot of our friends wrote on it, so we hope good things for it. Yeah, seriously. It was written by 45 percent of

the writers in hollywood actually just everyone got a shot at the punch up uh crystal geyser they they have uh bottled water that's sold in walmart's uh across the country it's a working man's bottled water yeah yeah they also also have a juice beverage, a sparkling juice beverage that I have always been very fond of. Yeah, juice squeeze. And now we are learning that they have been dumping arsenic into the ecosystem for, but it's only for 15 years. So we good. 2005, man. Yeah.

Wait, how does the arsenic? So the water that they source from the mountains, the crystal geysers, if you will, has arsenic in it. And I will. So they have to clean the arsenic out of it using sand filtration. Oh, got it, got it, got it. Oh, and they're just dumping those filters? And then the sand filtration creates a sludge that is toxic and full of arsenic.

They were dumping it at a location, uh, that they didn't have license to dump it at that. They called, uh, I don't know if they called it that, but it was colloquially referred to as arsenic Lake. No.

Oh my God. What if it was called that before they started dumping? Yeah. And that gave them the idea. When they test this shit, it's all spiked for arsenal. Yeah. It's like best place to do it. When they test this shit, it's all spiked for arsenic. It's like Lover's Lane, which came first. Exactly.

But yeah, so after, quote, arsenic pond, rather. It wasn't arsenic lake. I apologize. I don't want to overstate it, guys. It was just a pond full of arsenic. After it came to authorities' attention that there was more than 23 000 gallons of wastewater they gobbled it all up and shipped it down to southern california

where they dumped it in the sewer without appropriate treatment so hell yeah hell yeah just trying to cover all the bases you know you wish we had a just legal system where they marched the fucking corporate leadership of that company up to the fucking jail. And they're like, all right, hop in. You just think you can just dump this shit? Yeah. When did that happen? That last part?

The Southern California part? So that's, I think, what they're just learning now. Because the discovery of Arsenic Pond was back in, I think, the 2000-teens. I don't know if you remember that decade. Ah, yeah. The 2010s. But yeah, this is, I think, the hook that this story is hanging on is that they now just discovered that they were like, nah, just dump it in the sewer, dude.

Yeah. Fuck that, dude. You know what to do. Get that shit out of here. Get that shit out. Dude, it's going to cost too much. No one's going to notice. It's going to cost too much for us to do shit the right way.

Yeah. We have those out in Southern California. There are these labels over the storm drains that are like, no dumping of wastewater in there. And it's a picture of a dolphin being like, don't fucking poison a dolphin, you asshole. And these guys were just like, pfft. I don't think this. The only dolphin I respect is Echo the dolphin.

I'm not standing up for any corporate people at all, but this seems like something that just kept getting passed down to the lower guy. Someone kept getting in trouble and getting in trouble, and they were like, shit, I got a guy in Southern California that we could take this to. He's got a ditch he calls Arsenic Pond. And what they don't know is that guy's solution for everything is just dumping shit down the sewer yeah like all right let terry take this project i guess yeah yeah this there were no memos on this thing it just kept getting lower

and lower and some people were just like i do not want to get fired over this yeah but uh that's how people die and get cancer yeah yeah they ship all of the garbage out of New York City on a train. There's a garbage train that just comes every day, and it was just all of the waste from Manhattan's island is shipped out on a train to Pennsylvania. All of this. Where is it? Where does it go? Where are we putting it?

Exactly. Man, instead of fucking money train, they should have done garbage train. Garbage train. Exactly. Fucking Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Think about all the precious metals. They're like, man, there's a garbage train. Okay.

I saw that. I don't know what the fuck. And then end credits. You're like, what the fuck are we going to do with that? I saw that movie in the theater and I don't remember what it's about at all. I was so fucking psyched for that movie. Yeah, it was like finally reunited since white men can't jump. Yeah, exactly.

That's what I, I went and saw that shit right in the theater. It's about a cop with gambling debt, right? I think so. And that's why he's got to rob it. I think there's also a guy who robs the, is that the one where the person like sprays lighter fluid into the subway? Oh yeah. That's right to the, in the little kiosk thing.

Yep. Oh, shit. That freaked me out. Me too. All right. Up next, we have the story that I'm sure you've all been waiting for us to touch on. To weigh in on. So to speak.

Weigh in on. This trend on TikTok. Yeah. It's like the new Tide Pod Challenge sort of. At first, I didn't you know because last time there was like people who were just like eating shit whole and like that was just a that was just a way to fuck with like older people be like they're eating cereal boxes these kids right this one i was i'm dubious still a little bit right but it started apparently on

tiktok where someone was pointing out there's like this article that the headline is testicles have taste buds that can detect sweet flavors and they're vital for fertility. The article goes on to say like it's sensitive to like even the amino acids that give the umami flavor. Hold on. So like soy sauce. Is the article real? Yes. Okay.

The article is real. But here's the deal. It's about a study of mice that they were trying to figure out like how it factored into fertility right now even before this i i just read it and i'm like okay i looked at a few videos motherfuckers were dabbing their nutsacks and soy sauce and shit i was like all right well people are doing on tiktok yes but not like on camera they'd be like oh i'm doing it one dude was like oh he was like smacking his lips as he was like fingering taint with soy sauce. Like, oh, oh.

And first of all. Anna's looking very disturbed. As well she should. As anyone with a nut sack would know off the rip if your ball sack could taste anything. You would know if you washed your butt. We would know. The one part of my body that I can for certain. I would never be like, oh, for real?

I just haven't experienced anything sweet enough. Yeah, exactly. Or tart enough. Oh, right, right, right. There's peanut butter on here. I wasn't tasting that shit. Wait, why did you have peanut butter on there, bro? That's just a hypothetical.

Right. Now, the other thing is that that's why I was like, okay. And also, my man, what you're doing is you're putting soy sauce on your scrotum right it doesn't say taste buds on your scrotum right so even then i'm like are these motherfuckers serious and i guess some people are but and then it's funny like i think uh science modern science popular mechanics one of these are popular science had a whole article basically like we have taste receptors all over our body like in our intestines our nasals our fucking hearts, the bladder. But they're not there because they're not receiving the same inputs like you are in your taste buds in your mouth.

They're used for completely different purposes. And they just sort of broke it down. They're like, this is not the same shit. But it's just funny to me like that people were applying this logic of like because there was and there was another article that sort of reaffirmed that there are taste receptors on the testicles and people just use that to be like well dude it's science give me the kikoman fucking sauce packet and let's get busy right this stuff reminds me of all the things you try with the first time you're having sex with someone when you're in love with them like you know you're under 17 18 19 um where you try out all the different things like right um they do have like gel that you're supposed to put on

on your penis right do you remember this tasty gel they would have like stuff you like flavored like flavored gel okay or like edible underwear you guys oh yeah like dumb toys yeah yeah where you're like oh candy bra yeah and you're like well this is stupid also when you go to the sex shop and get that that's just like 90 years old and you're like, oh, well, candy bra. Yeah. And you're like, well, this is stupid. Also, when you go to the sex shop and get that, that's just like 90 years old. And you're like, bro, you got to rotate this. Yeah. This merchandise. Yeah. That's what this stuff reminds you of people who just don't understand their bodies yet.

I think it's half just stupid. Like just the idea of saying like you can taste with your ball, your balls was enough to be like, okay, that's why I'm like, I don't know if it's really people doing it because they are believing that it's happening versus like, I'm just going to do this. I'm just going to get in on this viral activity. Jack, if you were to dip your balls in a condiment, what would that condiment be? That's a great question.

Cause I've already got mine right now. Okay. Miles, what would, what the kind of may be for your balls? For mine? Yeah. Uh, probably spinach artichoke dip. Okay. That's interesting. Cause that's such a textural For mine? Yeah. Probably spinach artichoke dip. Okay. That's interesting, because that's such a

textural thing. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, look, I love a good spin dip. We're assuming that there is some manner of taste going on. You're saying if we taste through our balls, or are you asking what we dunk our balls in for fun? If you had

to choose right now, what would you dip your balls in? Spinach artichoke. From CPK. From CPK. That's a good spinach artichoke dip. I would have to go with ranch. I knew you were going to say that. I'm not even a ranch guy or anything like that.

The thing is, you don't know that about me, Miles. You don't know that. You don't know me? Yeah, I'm morbidly obese. I'm a ranch balls. You probably think I'm drinking ranch soup all the time, okay? Not all of us are built like a god, Miles. Exactly.

But no, I think for the color and because ranch just feels cool to me, just like- Doritos, cool ranch. Yeah. Shout out to them. That's how fucking stupid I am. For some reason. That's probably it, yeah. Just because of the dumb Doritos snack.

But I would like to, yeah, just pull back, look down, the color, the contrast. Jack, your condiment of ball dipping choices. I was trying to think of something with alcohol in it so that it had that sort of coolness. But there's not like, is there an effervescent beverage that could be considered a condiment? Because I would also maybe enjoy that feeling. No, but we could pivot just to that. Gin and tonic. Yeah, or just champagne.

Yeah. Or what's it called, that hot new one that all the kids are drinking? White Claw? Yeah. Yeah. I could see you. It even goes with your vibe, too. Just a nice summer day White Claw ball dipping.

White linen shirt, jeans, family photo on the beach with your kids, but dad's got his balls in white claw. Mom, where's dad? In the next room. Oh, yeah. Just family pictures. And what if this is finally the thing that brings Jack joy? The thing that's been all these years. All these years eluding him.

We got soy sauce at home? Right. Why did everyone take that photo? The white linen shirt. I mean, that was like every white person who I knew growing up. Everyone had the weird beach photo, which is like white linen, jeans, on the beach. No shoes. Yeah.

No shoes. I think it's just easy for matching. That's all it is. Yeah. It just went viral. Some white family did it. And all us white families just copied off of it. Who is patient zero?

Right. That's a great question. Who is patient zero? Right. That's a great question. Who started that trend? If you know somebody, if you claim to be the first family to do it, let us know. Or do you know the first family? Yeah, that is white. Because that's powerful. That's truly a cultural moment.

The matching. And white supremacy has been so nailed in my head that whenever I do wear linen, I feel like, oh, here I am. Might as well cuff my jeans and go to the beach. I mean, you know, I feel like I said, I feel like a champion, too. I feel like I'm winning, you know, so it's not all that bad. It's not that thing. Well, Steve, it's been a pleasure

You know, I've always loved Dana Donnelly. We tweet back and forth against each other. You guys have had her on here. She's a superstar comedy genius. She's going to be huge, and we will all work for her one day. I like this one from Dana yesterday, or a couple of days ago. When a hot girl shows me a picture of the guy she's crying over, nine times out of ten, he's a literal bridge troll

with a hat to hide his receding hairline. None of us can relate to that. Oh, boy. We're out here. Miles, where can people find you, and what's the tweet you've been enjoying? Oh, you can find me on Twitter and Instagram at MilesOfGrey.

Tweet I like. First of all, a shout-out to AtPinkPolitik, who let us know that a latex BDSM suit would not be good in a hazmat situation. We thought maybe it could work. Could not. I hope nobody has tried that since we mentioned the possibility. This one is from at Liz Char. Liz Charbonneau says, this is a back and forth between Bernie and Tom Steyer.

Bernie, I'm scared of getting this heart transplant. Tom Steyer, it's okay. I'll be here after your surgery. Bernie wakes up after surgery and sees a nurse. Bernie, where's Tom Steyer, it's okay. I'll be here after your surgery. Bernie wakes up after surgery and sees a nurse. Bernie, where's Tom Steyer? He said he'd be here. Nurse, who do you think gave you the heart? Bernie, yeah, good. Okay.

Also, and then also a shout out to Chris Crofton, who's celebrating eight years sober today. Give it up to the cold brew god himself. Not sober of cold brew. Hell no. That's for cranking off that.

That's not an altering substance. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. It's an energy drink. Uh-huh. All right. Laura Peak tweeted, fire up the grill. I'm in the mood for macaroni.
