Alan, you know about dirty sodas? Yeah. You ever had one? You off that? Well, I've had an Italian soda, which I guess technically is one, but that's like, I feel like that was like the first iteration of it. And like a cafe, it's just like a soda with like a bunch of cereal. Italian soda is soda water.

Soda water. Yeah. This is this. This has like cream in it. This presupposes the question, would if instead of soda water Mountain Dew? Right. Yeah. Right.

And would if. So. Crumbull cookies, just reading. They have a new, they're, they're dabbling in dirty soads now. This is, well, I believe I call it soaking. I think it's your soaking.

Yeah, dirty soaker. It's called the crazy cousin. This one's, there's one drink called the crazy cousins dirty soda. You're crazy cousin. How many grams of sugar do you think is in the crazy cousins 32 ounce dirty sowed?

And what's in it? it's a, it's a, I'm not going to tell you, but I always say it's got a mountain dew base. It's got to be at least 2,000 cows. It's got to be at least 2,000. You're saying too, how many grams of sugar? How many dune do 20 ounces, 77 grams of sugar? Okay. How many ounces is the drink?

32 ounces. It's not all Mountain Dew though. I know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, my initial guess was like 115 grams. I'm going to say 500 grams of sugar. I love that. Crazy.

A half key. I don't know what else is in it. Is it like cookie crumbles in it or like? Okay, I'll tell you, okay, I'll give you a little bit more information. It's 32 ounces, okay? It's made of Red Bull, Mountain Dew, Pineapple, strawberry puree, and coconut cream. Okay, then let's say like 350 grams.

It's 840 calories. Okay. And 186 grams of sugar. Okay. That's 186. fucking grams. If you could visualize that in a baggie, that's how I get myself to think about.

I'm like, oh my God, that is a gigantic Ziploc bag full of sugar in one go. And that's three key ounces, so that's a small. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a children's mini. This is only, you know, it's funny, only two of their 48 fucking flavors have a red bull. So if you want the bull, you're going to get the horns.

That's the breakfast items. Yeah. Right. They're called chargers. The charged lemonade that was killing. people was, I think, 300 grams of that was a Panera, wasn't it? That's so funny that it was Panera.

Panera was like, what if we started dealing drugs? That's like one of my mom's favorite like happy places is Panera. What if we fucking killed you? That fucking Panera, dude. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Joy is essential

Okay, why not just get them shrunk down a little? I don't know. I didn't, I shouldn't have done that with my hand. But, uh, and, but then, yeah, why not butt, man?

Thank you. Miles looked over at me and didn't have anything to say, so we're going to keep going. I saw, Alan, we'll get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

Yeah, that's true. First, Listen, there's a couple of things we're talking about today. We're going to just do a quick check in with inflation. We got the report. It's all good if you like inflation. All good. And Donald Trump loves it.

We're going to look at the delicate art of pretending to be on the phone, something that Republicans aren't great at. We'll look at how the U.S. is fucking up the World Cup. We'll talk about the exciting new opportunity to eat popcorn. out of a horse's crotch. Oh. And we'll also look at some new reminders that we're old as fuck. All of that. Plenty more.

But first, Alan, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, happy, happy social network to trailer date. Oh,

yeah, we talked about it yesterday. So, okay, so he's talking about that already. So by Google search was, I wanted to see the teaser trailer. for the original social network

with the like creepy version of creep and all the digital pixelated stuff so that that was my last search. Oh shit, that was a great. That's maybe the best trade. It's one of the best shows ever. So good. Man.

This is, how did you feel about the social? Reckoning. Reckoning. I mean, I've got more to say about it. I'm excited. You're excited? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, say more.

Well, I mean, it ties in a lot of my Either answer for the other stuff. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. That was a banger. Haunting children singing a song will really plus up a trailer. Oh, yeah. I don't know when it's not worked.

Yeah. It's also like a creep is a, like if you're not a great singer, but you can emote well, you can actually affect people by doing creep. Well, whatever, that old Pat Trice O'Neill bit, or it's not even a bit. I think he's just on a radio show and he's just talking about how like white people love creep because of that like that crunch like white people love that gurnish yeah just that little crunch guitar so he's right yeah yeah yeah yeah i remember like my cousin saying it and for like all these like our old japanese moms and stuff and brought all these old japanese women to tears

oh great well and everyone everyone can kind of do it on karaoke too yeah yeah yeah and i just remember like my mom's friend she's like oh oh don't he was so beautiful wow do you know what she was saying He's like, no, but I could feel it. I was like, wow. Okay, okay. Okay, creep. So my kids are in second and third grade, and they just had their talent show for the outgoing.

The kids who are graduating just did their talent show. And they were like really into, like two kids sang. One of them sang yellow wearing like a nice yellow outfit. Like the Colplay yellow. My kids came home and were like, Dad, play yellow. I got to hear yellow. So he apparently nailed it. Okay, okay.

I shouldn't be booing at fucking nine-year-old. I don't know what's wrong with me. Oh, yellow. Okay, Carmen. I made that observation. They didn't like it. And then the other one did a weird owl song. Oh, yeah.

eBay, where he goes through all the different items he can get on eBay, and the kid was throwing out the items into the crowd. That one went so hard. Nice. Doing some crowd work with, like, gifts to the audience? But they were like really moved by yellow. Oh, that's true. Like new Weird Al too.

It's pretty cool. Yeah. This is a deep cup. Most of you probably haven't heard it. Wait, what's eBay to the tune of? Isn't it that I want it that way? I want it that way.

That's right. I got it on eBay. That's like that that was like the, like that album. I don't remember the name of that album. But that was the album where I was like, all right, it's time for me to let go Weird Al for a little bit. I got too. I got too old for a little bit. Yeah.

I'm back on Weird Al. I think Amish Paradise, Gump. That was one of the first CD, I think that was maybe the first CDI at Robles. That's when I left. Yeah. I was like, that's when you left? I was like, I loved Gangsters Paradise. I'm like, bro, I'm not fucking with Amish Paradise.

That's so funny. I loved Gump, though. You're undercutting the gravity of this Coolio song. Man, when Michelle Fifers in the room with him. But she turns that chair around? Oh, my God. Teach me something. Cinema.

Teach me. No nonsense. Fuck no. Fuck no. Oh, you want to read about poetry? Oh. I'll play a song by a little guy named Bob Dylan. Like, that was the coolest thing the writer.

It could come up with her. Like, reach urban youth was Bob Dylan. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And they're like, oh, damn, that's really cool, actually. He's just looking at his own, like, albums he has on his wall. Like, fuck not Starland vocal band. What is something you think is underrated? I said, Aaron Sorkin.

I think Aaron Sorgon's underrated. I watch the trailer. I'm in. I think it gets a bad rap. But any guy that got addicted to crack because he had like three TV shows and two movies going on at the same time, I think that's a winner.

It's a multitasking. That's a multitasker right there. It's a bootstrapper right there. Yeah, yeah. Didn't shy away from the labor. Just say, you know what, dude? Fucking uppers. Yeah. Let's go.

Jack and I were saying, like, that's the one thing that worries us about it is, like, will it be too sore? because we're going from Fincher to Sorkin. Fincher's pretty damn good. Because he was social network, right? Was Fincher? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. To this one, I'm like, I wonder what, how sorkin-y it's going to get. Right. But just based off the trailer, I'm like, yeah, it doesn't matter. I just want to see this shit. It's like, you know, let's not forget. It's like, a few good men, Sorkin. Like, Sorkin's, Sorkin's been some good shit.

Oh, he writes some bang. Yeah. But you'd worry about the director. The director's the director's the trial of the Chicago 7. I went in with some expect. The tears in my eyes. That was that like a Netflix one? I think that was.

Probably. I think so. Yeah. You know what it was actually good was Molly's game, which I think he. Did he direct that? Yeah, he directed. I need to watch Molly's game. Yeah, yeah.

That's the second time it's been referred to on the show this week. Yeah. And I haven't seen that. Oh, we were talking about the pussypossy. We're talking about how I always get. Elijah Wood. The person who's supposed to be the asshole character is supposed to be based on, I always confuse whether it's Toby McGuire or Elijah Wood.

I think it's Toby. Elijah's a good guy, man. Toby's an asshole? That's what they say. That's the rumor is that the asshole character is got some. They don't know, man. What's that other movie? Was it now you see me?

Like, there's a, wait, or is it? Ocean's 11th. There's a, it was Ocean's 11th. Where he plays himself and he's kind of being a dick. And Tofra Grace is in one of those two where he's great. Oh, that's the people. Those are the boys I get fucked up. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And after like 70's show or Spider-Man. Right. Different motherfuckers. Because he was in Venom.

Or he was in Spider-Man too. I think so. Whatever. Too much. It's all getting together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, thanks for tuning into this film podcast, everybody. Yeah.

Where we're like, what was that one? Who's that guy? Who's he? They don't even fucking know who Spider-Man is. Tofer Grace is a singular personality in my mind. But Toby and Elijah. Went a day with Ted Hamilton. Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you. Real ones will remember when a date with Tad Hamilton. Oh, yeah. He was Venom and Spider-Man 3. Right. Yeah.

Yeah, there you go. He was the druggie asshole guy in traffic, too. I thought he did a really good job. You really related to that character? That's where he like really locked in for me. Dumping it off at the ER. Yeah. Exactly.

Hey, we've all been there. Oh, yeah, yeah. I just saw Widows Bay and I saw that scene you're talking about about who he's like, you never pressed this. doorbell, you cowardly. I was killing me as I watched it. What is something that you think is overrated?

Okay, so keeping on the social theme, social security, because we're not going to get it. Yeah, fuck it. I was off that shit anyway. It didn't matter. I thought that she was dumb before I needed it. For losers. Yeah.

Is that how you're sort of insulating yourself from the... I think it needs to be a movement. I think it could be a whole, I think the millennials need to get real selfish. Dude, are you being funded by the GOP? That would be some shit. That would be like, GOP wouldn't go for that. We need, we need guys on podcast. I'm like, do, social security is like fucking dumb, man.

Right. Dude, that shit's over. Yeah. No, dude, not for me, man. That's just for boomers, dude. You know who's on social security? Boomers. Yeah, dude.

Fuck that. All the people. So I'm going to be washed and be on Social Security, bro. You know what I'm going to be on? That grind. Yeah. Exactly. I'm not collected.

Keith Giamanka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy,

but I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong, on what that might look like. No, I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?

That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever, because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you saw it was.

And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. And just then, we felt the plain turn in the air, so much so that. The bags that were under people's seats just kind of flew into the aisle. Each week, we dive headfirst into the complex power of secrecy, how it shapes our identities and relationships, and how it ultimately can reveal to us our truest selves. My daughter, she's pretending she doesn't know, but is trying to cook and feed me and keep me alive because I wasn't eating anything,

and me pretending like everything was fine. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And before we get to the fact that inflation, or that Social Security is going away, the good news is that the money that we have now is worth less. And I think that's good.

So inflation report just came out. and it's actually at a three-year high. Three-year high. Three-year high. Okay, so that means it was high during what? Biden's last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which was when it was really, people were really freaking out.

Well, yeah, people didn't realize how, just how much prices had gone quite up yet. No. Until that moment. Then people were like, wait, what the fuck is going on? That was like the moment that we, or most consumers are like, is the water boiling? around us right now. It was water boiling in this hot tub that they keep throwing carrots into.

So we just have new strategies and gaslighting. Jim Kramer, I guess this isn't really... Gaslighting's way more expensive now these days too. Oh, yeah. These tariffs... Jim Kramer, I don't know that this is that new.

He said it's false inflation. This isn't real inflation. This is like false. So I didn't pay the money to see what his life. logic was in the article. I have to assume there's going to be a refund at the end if it's false inflation. Trump just came out and said, actually, I love inflation.

I love it. The numbers I think are great. I love the inflation. And they were like, why? Yeah, explain your fucking point. Because we're getting the oil out, actually. We're getting the oil out from Iran. We did it last night.

We did it last night. We got the oil out. We just turned the lights out on the thing. Bing got the oil out, boom, and they couldn't even see us because... Inflation, we're doing it. So we're doing this. We're taking the oil. We're putting them in balloons.

We're inflating. Inflation's wonderful. These big gas balloons, you've ever been in a gas balloon fight? The summers in New York, they were really fun. We do that all the time. So not only is it like completely incoherent. I mean, I guess it would if he had some source of oil that we was secret and we didn't know about and that he wasn't telling anybody, which definitely seems like his vibe.

but also he if it's true that we had like a secret way of getting oil out of Iran, he just like told them. Right. Yeah, yeah, which is. He's, he's like drinking your milkshake right now. Yeah. We're drinking their milkshake. It's delicious.

Milkshakes are over, dude. Anyway, it says, my, if you're drinking my milkshake or taking my Social Security. It's so crazy what is the same price as it was, you know, even before Biden. There are a couple of things that are the same. Like, you guys, H.R.S. Bounty here, have an H.S. Bounty here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For listeners, it's like one of those bars, it's like being on a ship. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They have a wise man special that when I moved here in 2008 was $6.50 for a tecate and a shot of tequila whiskey. I went there at some point a couple months ago, still $6.50. Wow. So that's the same. Yeah. We need to peg our. That place isn't doing well.

We need to peg our, and they're closed. No, they're going to stress. So that's the thing is like, we need to peg our economy to the wise man special. Right. And then everything else will fall into place. I think so. Or just knowing that like some things are like human rights. Right.

Like a wise man special. Right. Shouldn't be more than $6.50. It is crazy when you do, when you go grocery shopping and you're like, this really shouldn't be $7. Yeah. You're like, that's all the time. I'm like, I'm buying a loaf of bread. I'm like, was it a loaf of bread?

I'm like, six bucks? Six, five. Yeah. It's like, give me a break. I thought that shit was like $120, like back in the day. A half a cart full of groceries is like $200 now. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's unreal.

That's why anyway, man, groceries are over, dude. Doesn't matter. Yeah, groceries are done. We're not doing that. Groceres are rated, dude. Bread's overrated, eggs are overrated. Yeah. That's how I'm just protecting myself from just the rampant, the rate rising consumer customers.

The one thing is like, it's just consumer goods that you like compare an ad from 10 years ago to today. And you're like, an 85 inch. TV back then was $7,000. TVs are the one thing that are getting cheaper. That's truly like the circus part of the bread and circuses thing. Cheap TVs, phones. Yeah. Dude, your TV can be bigger than your childhood home.

It's going to be 30 bucks. Yeah. Okay. Just don't watch anything serious on it. Just watch some bullshit and forget everything that's happening around. The things we rely on to live like the Wise Man special. Yeah. On the other hand.

Yeah. Can you really put a price on a shot in a beer? No. I don't even know how you could even begin that process to even analyze what the cost could be. I remember famously like Costco was there, like everybody was like, well, Costco, hot dogs are still cheap.

I'm like, you know, they still have that great deal. And then they like did a behind the scenes article. Like the CEO was like, I will fucking murder you if you raise it. So I wonder if there's somebody at HMS bounty or whatever the fuck. That's the number. Yeah. Yeah. Who is this mystery person?

I will fucking kill you. It's also owned by Warren Buffett. Yeah, yeah. All right. Speaking of old white guys, as we always are, the Republicans are, they're just in a bubble where you lie and make it so, you know? I said it, therefore everybody's going to assume that's true. We can just like kind of move forward.

Yep, yeah. And what, but sometimes they go out on the street and do that. And it's very funny. Yeah, because I mean, they're, this was just like with the GOP gubernatorial debate in Colorado, like, they're just used to just saying absolute bullshit in like a one way like medium. Like, where they'd be like, Trendy Aragua is all the children you see from Venezuela. And people are like, but no one can ask anything. So then that's just the sound bite. Did that play?

Sure. did. Yeah, then you get a debate and they're like, yeah, yeah, prove that. And they're like, uh, my dog was in Iraq. Right. And you're like, fuck, man, this is nonsense. It reminds me of the, uh, Elvis icon episode where like, he would go out and do public displays of karate that like his crew were pretending were like really awesome. Yeah, yeah. You're the main king. Great job. And like, you see it. It's like, yeah. He's like doing moves and they're like flying backwards. They're like, I think he's, I think he pissed himself a little bit.

You see that? No, no, it's just sweat. It's a dick sweat. You know how the king is, man. You know how the king gets me? Is that yellow dick sweat? Anyway, so right now, just want to read a couple of, like,

quotes about Social Security in the state of it right now. This is from CNN. Social Security's Retirement Trust Fund, which helps support payments to senior citizens, their dependents, and survivors of deceased workers, is expected to be exhausted in late 2032. Overrated.

Which is one quarter earlier than previously forecast. At that time, payroll tax revenue and other income sources will be able to cover only 78% of benefits owed. And again, that means this is going to be a ticking time bomb for who's ever running in 2028, if someone's running in 2028. The same thing is also going to be happening with Medicare, Medicaid. And right now, Mike Johnson has been saying things like, you know, we're not, we've got to get the spending under control here. It might have to, you know, rather than acknowledge Trump's big, beautiful. bill and how that's like adding almost like five trillion dollars to the debt. The natural solution is to begin cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Yeah. That's their soggy dream come true. And that's just how they're, that's how they're trying to even present. It's like, well, I mean, we've got to get this spending, you know, under control, even though we completely authorize this. Yeah. I'm just going to have to put people out on the fucking street. That's been the Republicans like, like, during like that since Paul Ryan.

Like that's what he was talking about, like at frat parties. I remember what he was like, yeah, I remember doing keg stands with my boy. just fantasizing about how we were going to cut social security. Privatize that shit, man. I mean, it's every conservative dream, right? Yeah. So this, obviously, that's the most violent shit you can do is, like, diminish these kinds of social safety.

That's the one thing's that kind of work here. It's also their base, though. It's like, how can they do that? Like, old people that are on Social Security are literally, like, the number one voting demo for Republicans. There's also a lot of people, too, who, like, you're, like a lot of leopards ate my face type realizations where people are like, my son is collecting Social Security right now. And I just heard he's not going to, he's going to get a fraction of it. Like what happened?

They're like, because of the big beautiful bill. Right. And they're timing shit to not all happen at once. So you don't, you can't figure out how they're, how bad they're fucking you in real time. So, you know, I think any person that actually understands these programs thinks it should never be touched, right? It's like, that's like the one thing that feels like it's standing beside the American people and helping them. And even then that's kind of shaky. And because it's such a third real topic, it's probably why Johnson's fellow Republicans,

you know, they don't really want to actually admit that's what they're after. And that's what's going to happen is that there are going to be cuts to Social Security. So case in point, Virginia's Rob Whitman. He was asked by a reporter about the Social Security cuts.

And this motherfucker panicked and pretended to be on the fakesst fucking phone call I've ever seen in my life. And I guess, I mean, maybe he's auditioning for like the new social reckoning film or something, but here's Rob Whitman. He's doing some, he's doing some character work. I will just say that there's almost no chance that this guy does not refer to himself as a smooth operator to his friends, you know? Here's Rob Whitman being asked just very directly about what's going on with Social Security cuts. Congressman, what is Mike Johnson's secret plan to cut social security? I got a phone call.

Hey, how you doing? I'm good. So, first you can see, so he takes it out, hits a thing like he's accepting a phone call. But he's holding it to the side of his face that allows us to see what's on his screen. First mistake. First mistake. And the thing that he's hit is just maybe a browser. What do we think that is? I don't know what it is, but by the time he gets through like, hey, a fake, hey, hey, how are you doing?

Yeah, yeah. His face is hitting the screen. It's already activated. Look how much the fucking phone changes. from the moment he picks it up to right here. Congressman, what is Mike Johnson's secret plan to cut social security? Hey, how are you doing?

Hey, how you doing? Bringing a bunch of windows up. What, the way? It's like his phone's being taken over by like a porn pop-up or something. It's over at 416. Okay, so now he's taking directions.

Of course, it is, hey, hey, how are you doing? How are you? All right, you buy yourself some time. Oh, yeah, I'm heading, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm heading over there right now. What's it at 416? He's getting detailed. Good detail work.

This feels, yeah. Okay, you're 15 seconds in. He must really be talking to someone. He's saying it's over at 416. And you know he's talking to someone because just random shit on his phone's browser is popping up because that's what happens on the phone when you're on Azure conversations. That's right. Obviously, dude, everyone knows that feature, dude.

Congressman, what is Mike Johnson secret plan to cut social security? I appreciate that. I've got some more efforts that I want to talk to that. They've got some more effort. Uh-huh. I've got some more effort. And if you notice, he's doing a lot of, he's doing this, gesticulating. Yeah, he's got busy, busy talking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got some efforts. I got some more efforts. I want to talk to you about. This is where I'm going to begin to start downgrading the improv. All right. I mean, I get what you're saying. He's talking like a politician.

He's doing too much. He's doing too much. He's doing less. Okay, let's see what else is. Let's listen a little bit on a fake phone call, huh? There are actually more things that we have to be working on. Oh, so he's like, I want to make sure that we want to make sure that we're, we're putting a response, sir.

A response, thanks. I appreciate your help on this. I really, really do need, we do need some more, some more of your input. Smoors? Smoors. I got some efforts you're going to talk about. I really appreciate your help on this. He's going to need your.

He's smiling. He also, like, says that he's going to do more. So he's showing that he is accountable on fake phone calls. He can be held to account. This is, I love that. I got to do better on that. Yeah. And we got to help.

We got to help some efforts to improve that. He just does this every day. He just causes just talking on the fun every day. Just but with a brick, just to work out his arm. It's like, this ain't like work. Okay, go on. If you can actually reach out, I'll make sure that we do more of this. He is reaching out.

We're on the fun with them right now. What are you talking about? Listen, if you reach out, we can do more of this. More of this. We keep it vague. We keep it nice and vague. Okay. The good thing about improv is when you keep it vague,

no specific. Yeah, yeah. try and keep it nice and you want to leave some gaps for your improv partner to fill that in he also for purposes of a fake phone call where you're trying to get the person who's listening and to leave you alone he has sounded like he's wrapping it up right from the very start like it's the whole thing is just like yeah and uh i'm gonna call it all right it sounds like he's like trying to get off the phone that's not gonna let he's yeah you got to have a fake conversation yeah already kind of scripted but he goes on we got to do more of this

Yeah, listen, I really, really appreciate it. Oh, he's back to appreciating it. Thank you. He said, thank you. Okay, okay, there's some fake listening. I like that. I like that. I understand.

There's more, more of those things that we need to work. More of those things have to work on. Oh, I thought he said more listening that we have to work on. Now I'm trying to understand the power dynamic. Are you, are you the superior here? Are you the subordinate? I think it's switched half-wise. Yeah, because he's like, yeah, and I'm heading there now.

We got some work to do. They've got someone else on the phone, actually. Yeah. On the other side, they're handing the phone around. It's a haven't seen a long time situation. They're passing around the phone here. Let me put my boss. You're a boss on the phone now.

Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. Yeah, I got to do better. I got to do better. There are more efforts, and I did mention that to him too. And you got to do better too. I know, but I got honest. I guess I'm, I am low.

I can really appreciate your input on that. Now he's, I think, going to begin to try and land the plane, but not doing a great job. Thanks. Thanks again. Thanks again. Way to get this guy. to leave you alone. Hang up imminent.

Oh, the phone changed. What is Mike Johnson's secret plan to cut Social Security? Oh, he's hung up. He just swiped up. Swiped up. And then just takes off. Even his walk, he walks like he's wide. He's like, and this is how you walk?

Yeah. And this is how you walk. That looks like someone's so in their head walking. It's like when men and black, when they take over a human. Oh, yeah. This is how you walk. Yes. Wait, fuck.

Don't sink the same limb. I think he was sinking limbs at first and then he like got it off. I'm surprised he didn't do like a skip to be like, let me see him sunk up again. Let me just get in my, get in my body.

He turns his head over his shoulder. He gives you a filler eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So not a great, not a great display there. But again, that's what happens when you

all you have to do is just say bullshit and you're never questioned. Yeah. You try and do shit like. It's too much. trying to do too much. And also it's like, I don't know. That's just asking for trouble.

Why not just do the, like, oh, I'm hard of here. I can't hear you. They're usually good at that. Yeah, much simpler. If I'm given a class in my bro, start using AirPods, man. Right. Right. You're not going to snitch on yourself.

You're like, I'm on a call. Right, right. It's noise cancelling right now. Yeah, we have to do more of that. Uh-huh. We have to deliver for my constituents immediately. Do you guys have a go-to, like, fake phone call? I've never messed around on the fake phone call, but I will, I will just be like, I don't know.

I don't know. So you're just pointing at your head and saying, I don't know. I don't know. Alan, you're late on your rent, man. What's going on? What are you talking about? This, this is, you are overdue on rent. I wrote it out because you did this last time.

You said you can't hear me. I told you. Look at it. I can't read. I can't read. You can't read. Okay, listen to what I'm saying, you're overdue on the rent. Or then you, that's what you go the other way.

You go, of course, of course, of course. Of course. Yeah. And we're going to handle that. Okay. I actually have efforts. Yeah. I have a lot of efforts going to do that.

Dude, and right now I'm late for a reading lesson, dude. I'm trying to learn how to read, man. I'm trying to help you. Dude, I'm trying to learn for you. Yeah. Okay. I'm trying to learn how to read for you, dog. And now you're getting in my phone.

Okay. Oh, we were in this together. What do you even want, dude? it's like, just fucking figure it out, man. Have you ever done a fake, fake,

fake call response? The only time I've done it, and I do it somewhat frequently, is in Japan. Because that's how I let motherfuckers know I speak Japanese. Oh, oh, okay.

So I'll pick up, and I'll answer in Japanese. Because sometimes people just chatting and shit whispering and I go, Moshoshu-hmm, uh, uh, now I'm going to go,

uh, and they do that and they go, oh, fuck. Yeah. I was just saying, some shit about him. Oh.

Or you do it when you notice they're talking shit about you because sometimes people like I when I was a teenager especially I would get

followed around stores because they're like this brown child will steal. Uh huh and then I would have to like and I would hear them be like they're like

where is he? I heard that before and then I would pick up the phone and they're like oh shit oh damn and then they back the fuck up right but it's not like

it's not crazy it's a lot of the times I've done it too like one time I was I remember being like 20 and there was like a cute girl and I was like let me just pretty short you know

I'm buying you know what I mean and then your phone starts ringing at the side of your head and then my mom's like minus her you my phone and I'm like oh my god my girlfriend's tripping bro

yeah she's a 67 year old Japanese woman I do remember mature women before I did I did used to do this before they were like weed dispensaries I would be like

you mean drug deal when there was just drug But they're just drug dealers, and maybe you're in a city where you don't know anyone. I remember being in New York and I would go to Washington Square Park. And I would just be like, I wish I could find some weed around here. And then I got robbed. You can pay information. Hey, brother, hey, you look for some weed.

And then I paid like probably three times as much as I should have paid for a week. For like vapeed weed that has no THC. It's like Salvia or like spice or something. They're like, yeah, smoke it right here, bro. Smoke the whole thing, man. No, let me get on my flip camera. Let's go ahead. Go ahead.

You're going to love this. Boy, I wish I had weed around here. Oh, my God. That's what he had said. Boy, I wish I had some weed. He was starting to a dealer. Yeah, I'll be there. And I appreciate that that's what you did for me.

Oh, now 60 for three and a half grams? For an eighth? That's a lot, man. Used to be 50. We need to double our efforts on that. Oh, is just the Crippy? Oh, it's Crippy? Okay, okay.

I'll pay that. I'll pay that. Some Florida. We all know what Crippy is. That's what they call the chronic out there. there. Crippy? Yeah, I remember going

to Miami and as a teenager and like, you know, it's the creepy and I'm like, the fuck is that? That's the fun of it.

Yeah. You didn't say that in Florida, aren't you from Florida? Oh, South Florida is different. No, we didn't call it

Crippy up north. What did you call it? Oh, right, right. We were doing Jankham, dude? What the fuck? You know what? Jankham?

Jankham was, I think this was Jankham. It sounds like a weird Dice game. Jankham is one of those ones where it's like playing Janko. I don't know if it was real or if it just got to the point where it was like kids were pretending it was real.

So then it'd be like, teenagers all over the world are doing jankum. And it was like, it's like you take like a turd, I think. Tird or pissed or something or maybe a turd with piss. You put it like in a bottle, you put a balloon over the top of the bottle, put it out in the sun. You let it like ferment or whatever and then you breathe in the balloon. Like the noxious feelings. On purpose or that's how you prank something? No, this was like

The, this was like a new sensation Yeah, like in playgrounds Yeah And that works I think it might have been fake But that's what I remember Jankham being a thing Sewer gas

Mm-hmm Uh is one of it. Yeah, it's just funny In November 2007 There was a moral panic Yeah, that's exactly what it would have been Yeah Did you know anybody who's doing Jankham?

No, no Because it requires you to have shit and piss Yeah, it sounds so ridiculous Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh And then there was, I think it was like slurm or shirm where it's like you take like a joint or a sick. I think a joint. Angel dust, right?

Yeah. And you put it, no, I think it's like you put it in formaldehyde. Oh. And then you like and then you. People were dipping cigarettes in formaldehyde. Yeah. I think that was. I was not smoking that though.

No. No. I was doing Jankum like a like a honor roll student. No, I was playing Jenga. Yeah. Well, you're out there doing Jankum. I'm doing Jenga. Boat, brown, strike and one.

I think if there's any good, like, slang terms in Kentucky. I think they just called getting drunk buttered. Ooh, I like that. Yeah, isn't that kind of nice and buttered, man. I'd just like anything with food. It's like, as any kind of euphemistic description for something. Yeah. It's buttered and smothered and covered.

And then one time our English teacher caught wind of this slang. I was like, she's like, I keep hearing about nice children, good kids who are getting drunk on the weekends. You're not getting buttered. You're getting drunk. You're drinking too much. I was like, she knew the power of, no, no. I didn't know why you guys. Nineth grade.

Every story, because every time you tell stories about you being Kentucky or Ohio, there's like some shit. to 10th grade. Happening way above my pay grade for my age. Right. And I'm like, it's so, it's funny how like when there's small towns and there's nothing to do, like kids get into way darker shit than even in a big city. Kids were like dying from inhalants in Dayton, Ohio when I was a kid.

That was a big. That was a big thing. It was, um, you get those, any drug you can get at the dollar tree. Yeah. It's like dangerous. Right.

So it was like computer cleaner. It was like, yeah, it was like a computer cleaner that kids were doing. Dust off. Yeah. I feel like you're walking on sunshine. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh. Oh. Good poll. Yeah. Good pull. Is that that song's about? No, dude.

It's from Intervention. This girl was just hitting dust off in a graveyard. Is her name Allison? I think so. And she's like, you've not seen this clip, dude? It's not, it's one of those things I always talk about with intervention. Like, before I actually realized addiction was all around me. Right.

And it was like, no, dude, Jeff just likes to party. Yeah. You're like 23. And then you're like, he is a dark alcoholic. And also it was like, it was around that same time too. So it's like, it's kind of like this Zoe Day Chanel looking girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Adorkeable.

Adorkeable and addicted to having computer cleaner. Yeah, man. That is kind of adorable of all the things you did. And it's a little nerdy, computer cleaner. This is it. Viewer discretion is advised. She just inhales the whole thing in her mouth. That's fucked up.

They cut the music to it. No. Yeah, this is from the episode, but they're going to. Oh, no. Oh, Ann Hathaway should play her. This is not from the intro. This is pre-edits. This is a great edit.

Yeah, this is like, this was one of the OG ones. Yeah. This is set of the internet. This clip is from 2009, 17. Like all the clips we summon on this show, they have to be from How the fuck did she sign over? She's like, yep. And we're good here.

Yeah, yeah. One of my home girls from high school, her god sister was on intervention. And I remember it was like after high school, yo shit, Megan's on intervention. Like those people, a lot of those people didn't do that well. I feel like it might be because they had their lowest moment on TV. Well, that was just like the air of like explain. And again, like when you're 20, you're like, oh my God, dude this dude's so fucking drunk he fell through a screen door. You know what I mean?

And then, and they're like, oh, so he's got kids or whatever, and he got back from Iraq, whatever, dude. It's like, she's drinking the mouthwash. Yeah, you're not used to drink the mouthwash. Oh, my God, this guy's drinking the fucking hand sanitizer on ice at the hospital. Like, up, up. But then you get older and you're like, this is so dark. Oh, my God. I'm like, hey, pass you that mouthwash.

Passing the mouthwash. I'm all that a jank him and I lost my kids. I like that you were like, good, good call. There's a personality type. I think of people who watched intervention because they thought it was a comedic documentary show. Yeah. Well,

it was the same time, it was like A&E was doing MTV True Life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the edgy version. Yeah, yeah. And they would show also they would just show those all the time. Yeah,

they would run like, they were doing, it's like cable TV time. So it was like, it would just show like nine of them in a row. Yeah. Like over summer, it's like. Or Rocky, the dude who did the,

have you seen most epic cry? There's the black man. That episode is so fucking heavy. The people don't realize the buildup to that was his abandoned son talking about how he never knew his father. And he said, and you don't know what it's like for me to see every black man I pass and wondering if that's my father. And I didn't know. And like, that's the line the guy says and he finds it goes, and you're like, oh, my God.

This shit is hilarious. Oh, my God. Oh my God, bro. This old man crying, bro. Listen how this old man is crying, bro. Rewind that shit. Where's the TiVo remote at? Where's my TiVo remote?

Because I had all that shit on my TiVo in college. You just had those safe. Oh, my. That's all you said, do, is that's the irony. You would get fucked up watching people. Right. Struggling with addiction. We're killing it.

Hand me that steel reserve to 11. Oh, my God. Oh, steel reserve. Oh, God. It's before noon. We can't even talk about skill reserve. I know. I'm so sorry.

turned into the scumbag show. Jankum. Jankum. Jank him. That was when we just did the trolley fucking exercise. We just did the trolley fucking exercise. And now this is the show. Sorry, everybody.

Keith Giamanka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy, but I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out.

Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong, what that might look like. No, I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets.

My daughter, she's pretending she doesn't know, but is trying to cook and feed me and keep me alive because I wasn't eating anything, and me pretending like everything was fine.

He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And the World Cup begins this week. Today.

Is that right? Today. Today on Thursday, June 11th. Yep. The least, I don't know, I remember being like, oh, shit, the World Cup's happening the last time to the World Cup was happening. But this feels like not that big a deal this time. And it's happening in the USA. Yeah, we're sharing it with, it's the NAFTA World Cup.

It's Canada, U.S. and Mexico. Right. Canada and Mexico is having a good time. Are they? Well, yeah, because they don't feel like shit about their country like Americans do. Sure. And they're not living in a hellscape where anyone who isn't like a white American is like, has a potential to be fucking disappeared or some shit.

So the energy is super fucked up, especially in a country that has so many immigrants. That's true. That bring the World Cup energy to life when you go, I'm actually. I'm from Senegal. We're gonna, do you want to watch at this Senegalese, whatever and turn up with a bunch of people? Because it's like the most important thing

that happens every four years. It's just the mood is so fucked up in the U.S. Because of like the politics. And also FIFA is an absolute fucking just like Johnny and Fantino and Trump together are just true grifting assholes. True shitbag back to back. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I did see a clip of like the South Korean, like South Korean soccer fans in Mexico. Yeah. Doing like some manner of like binge drinking a traditional Mexican liquor that like they were like doing like ankles up in the sky. Oh, wow. I think it was Jankham. Yeah, yeah, they were doing Jankham.

I think it's pronounced Hankum. Hankoms, Mexico. It is true though, about the like, especially in the America, the white thing because I did notice it's like, okay, there, there do seem to be like Europeans posting on. like I'm still on Twitter. It's like literally like German people are like, I'm tubing the Chattahoochee River. And then they're like, they post a picture of Buckees are like,

this is a gas station. Right. They're like losing their minds over all this stuff. And then it's like like, Scandinavian people are like, like in Minnesota and they want like, they're like eating like curds or stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're like, no, this is, yeah. Juicy Lucy. But then it's like the, um, is there like a Somali referee? They said he had ties to terrorism. Omar Rattan, who was to be the first referee from Somalia to officiated a World Cup, was denied entry to the U.S. due to vetting concerns. This whole operation is being run by Rudy Giuliani's son.

You remember that guy from the red-headed kid? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chris Farley? Chris Farley. Chris Farley, Tony Giuliani, son? I mean, Chris Farley was making fun of him when he was like eight. which in normal circumstances I'd be like and that probably fucked him up

but in these circumstances I'm going to say and that's how annoying that motherfucker was that they felt comfortable making fun of him when he was eight. And I think that's also the cowardice is like FIFA has no appetite in pushing back against the United States government to be like you can't keep the fucking refs out

what the fuck are you talking about where Infantino's like a lot of the reporting is like he just wants he thinks that giving Trump everything he wants is going to make things go smooth Right. Yeah. And that always has worked for people in the past. Appeasement, undefeated as a strategy to deal with some kind of tyrannical entity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, he was grilled at the Miami airport for 11 hours by border officials who asked him why he'd traveled to the U.S.

And he was like, I already gave you these documents that were like put. I'm literally Africa's best soccer referee. And so I have the honor of officiating. What do you think about Somali politics? He's like, what do you think? What do you? think about Somali politics. We don't know shit about them. What do you think about Black Hawk Down? Good movie, right? Good movie.

Kind of sad. You from the Moog? What? Mogadishu. The dish. Yeah. It was all explained by executive director of the White House

FIFA Task Force, Andrew Giuliani, who said that he was turned away for quote, very good reason. So, what reason? I'm satisfied. Yeah.

He wouldn't He actually got a phone call at that moment. Wait, why? Oh, yeah. Hello? Andrew, it's backwards. No, hold on. Sorry, it's the action button.

I don't know how to use this. Hello? Yeah, yeah. I know, dude. It's the camera. Oh, shit. I just saw it inside your earhole. Several Iranian staff members

traveling with their team were denied entry. Not only that. The government won't allow the Iranian team to like sleep in the United States. So they're flying over the border from Tijuana. Yeah. To play their matches.

And then leaving immediately back. Yeah. They have to parachute into the game, literally. Yeah. And I'm saying like all these things, like, every single thing is meant to be like, what the fuck is this? Yeah.

You know, like, it's the world sport. And the World Cup is meant to be like, yeah, bro, everybody come. You know, usually it's like, give us your fucking money. Usually it's like, hey, everybody can come here. You got to give us a fuck ton of money. And then you can have your tournament.

Now they're like, nah, the Senegalese team, when they landed in the U.S., they got pulled off the plane and they were fucking searching each player. And then you look at like how the Spanish national team was received in Mexico, like a full like mariachi band reception.

And yeah, and it just, I've seen those mariachi bands that they have guns in their cases, according to Desperado. That's Desperado. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they were riding. Yeah,

yeah, it's interesting, just like as a historical precedent, The Berlin Olympics, they kind of covered things up. They took down all the like, no Jews allowed signs and stuff like that. They tidied up before. This feels like America's like, yeah, this is the brand, man. The one thing that they've done is they've waived their program requiring visitors from 50 countries to pay $15,000 bond deposits. Oh.

Did you know that they were doing that? No. But if you visit the country, you have to put down $15,000. for each person? Yeah. That's wild. But in this case, they're like,

if you can prove you have a ticket to the game, we're not going to. Oh, yeah, you don't have $15,000 because you spent that on half a ticket. Right, right. Yeah, yeah.

But this is, like, due to reported delays and visa processing travelers are probably not going to make it in time. So even that is not. And also, no one's going.

Like, we talked about it a few weeks ago, like, where a lot of the hotel, like, oh, there and lobbies are just being like, we have like,

below seasonal booking. Like, it's as if something's wrong right now. And it's almost as if, like, the substance that you need to move around the world is the most something that's ever been. Yeah, that dinosaur juice. It ain't hit the same way. And I love it. And we love that, actually.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, have you seen the mascots? Yeah, they look fucking. They look. Anytime there's a mascot for, like, a world sporting event. Things get weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Things get weird. But things get weird in a way that, like, they're hiring artists to do it. And, like, it's like a weird artist being like, this is, uh, my interpretation of, like, a drop of ice that is, like, moving. Uh, this is just, like, the most basic ass. It's like a cartoon. It reminds me of when they're like, uh, the NRA has, like, a children's comic book, you know? Like, it's just the U.S. is represented by a child. Bald Eagle and Canada is a moose with boxing gloves on for some reason.

Are those boxing gloves? I don't know. What's like boxing gloves? Did like the illustrator be like, I don't know, hooves are just so off-putting. I know. I just put gloves on them. There was a, I remember there was a mascot for the, was it 96 or 94? I think it was the 96 Atlanta Olympics.

And I remember that they like were really doing a push to like make this thing a thing. Yeah. And they, there was, I think the video game on. Sega. And it was like the worst video game you've ever played because clearly they just took a video game and they're like, let's just put torchy in it or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, what a terrible character. What was, I don't remember that one. Here, I'll put it up. He looked great. Yeah. Yep, that's him. Oh, yeah. Oh, cool. You know, the obviously insane mascot. It's the, it's what you spit up after you've been drinking a blue milk. He was the first computer generated mascot in Olympic

history. Wow. Thank God. What a moment that was. Yeah. That's right. I've been blessed. And like the crazy thing is like everything about this tournament has been

hostile towards the people that make it special. Right. And only benefits like the Stodium owners. Yeah, the stadium owners. The like Coca-Cola, all those companies. Because the tickets are expert like already. I had a friend reach out and was like, hey man, I know you like soccer. A friend of mine is trying to get rid of their.

World Cup tickets for the first game for the U.S. Paraguay match at SoFi. And they're kind of nosebleeds, but they're willing to kind of get rid of them for like, listen to what they pay. And I'm like, what they pay for them? $1,200. Jesus great. And I was like, I just was like, I don't want to be an asshole and just like laugh back. I was like, oh, yeah, sorry.

That's no one, no one cares. It's more fun to watch on at a bar or like at a pub or something like that. 100%. 100%. And then also, too, like with Sofi, like with the ice raids, It took the workers of SoFi Stadium to fight off ice being at the stadium. To be like, I don't know. I don't want to get deported for going to work.

Yeah. Or people just, I thought this is supposed to be a thing where it's like, oh, it's great. Come on in. Not come on in. Actually, no, motherfucker. You, you're gone. Yeah, yeah. From the country.

Yeah, yeah, 100%. Yeah, they reached a deal after they threatened to strike. Their demands included assurance that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will not be. permitted to conduct deportation operations inside or outside the venue. Oh, how humane. How humane. How you mean.

They're crazy. The one fun thing is that everyone's just watching the resale ticket market just crater every day. Yeah. And everyone's just posting like Braveheart memes. Like, hold. Because like it's just going down. Every second you get closer and these people end up having to eat their fucking

$1,000 tickets. They thought they were going to flip for three. And also, there are people who just can't make it. It's just getting more and more slightly reasonable. It's still hundreds over what I think is reasonable. Look, man, you can just have them. Just take them. Just take them, bro.

You get it. Yeah, I do. I think I do. I know a thing or two about Steve. Uvra. What's a work of media you've been enjoying? Oh, I started watching Chernobyl for the first time. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I didn't watch it when it came out, and it's like, it truly is like I was just watching it in like total awe of humanity and what we've brought. And then also just how fucking good, what's his name, Richard Harris? Jared Harris. Jared. Richard Harris's son. Just how fucking good he is. Yeah, yeah. And it, yeah, I love it. Yeah. Just started. It's really good. It is the one that like, that's actually a good strategy to just like ask people a couple of years after the fact. So like which ones actually are? Because people get swept up.

in irrational exuberance around like shows. Right. People are like, you got to watch this. Oh, yeah. And it's a mini series too. So it's like there's just what, what there is all there is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's funny, I rewatched it like eight months ago. It's great. Like, it is the one that like probably sticks with me

over the past five years more than any other. Like it just, it's incredible. Everything's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's so harrowing too. Like, especially that first episode,

like everyone's like checking out. Yeah, you're like, because all you're watching like, oh my God, And everyone just going, everyone just going into help and also their misinformation. We're like, people are doing, people are trying to do the right thing, some of them. And it's just like, ah, this rock burned me. What could that be?

That's crap. Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck. But anyway, we need more nuclear power. More, more, more. I mean, yeah, we might. We might. Miles, where can people find you? Is there working media you've been enjoying.

Yeah, find me everywhere at Miles of Gray. I'm talking about 90-day fiancé on 420-day fiancé. I'm talking about soccer, including this upcoming Sorted World Cup on Aint Footy with Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin. A couple works of media I like. First one, this is from just a clip from Blue Sky from Jerry Chen at J.C. Salter ego.combe, social set. Perfect website. And it's just a depiction of at DiscourseBot saying, I will never vote for Kat Abu Ghazale.

And then Kat responds, Discoursebot, I love you. Yes, great, great, great. And then one more, this is just kind of funny to me, just because of this is like very millennial, but let me just put this on the screen. It says Dan Whitehead at Danwhitehead.net. It's disappointing to see even Paul Simon is now promoting this awful technology.

And it says, Paul Simon, you can call me AI. That's good. So stupid. Good meaning. I like to tweet from Zito at underscore Zee. who tweeted, Nick's fans are talking about Wembe the way that John Jonah Jameson talks about Spider-Man. Really, they don't like the guy.

Miles, is there a song that you think that people might enjoy it? Yeah, Vince Staples dropped a new album about five days ago and it's called Cry Baby

and it's he's doing like some rock on here which is very interesting. He's got some, he's got some range. I think California rappers are just very, I feel like this is, when California rappers are, it's good, they can, they can straddle many genres in a, in a believable way. This album is called Crybaby. The first track is called Blackberry Marmalade. Check it out. The whole album is very interesting. I just feel like Vince Staples, you know, like he'll troll with like how just sort of, uh, straightforward he is about talking about like white supremacy or like the

need for revolution and things like that. That packaged in this like sort of rap rock thing, it works in a way and it feels like I'm listening to like conscious rap rock that I used to like you know what early on you need those albums I kind of like you're like oh shit dude what the fuck really I thought this is a party out right they talk they're talking about lynchings or bloodstained empire what if rock music had good politics so yeah yeah Vince Staples blackberry marmalade check it out it's so far I'm like halfway through the album it's really I'm really digging it so yeah all right uh the Daily Zike is a production of i heart radio for more podcasts for my heart radio visit the I Her radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
