Yeah.
Jesus.
This is a podcast.
You felt that vacation, yeah.
This is a podcast where you take a deep dive into America's shared conscious news.
Conchinoo.
Through the day's news.
I almost lost steam in the middle of Conchernute.
Dude, the sun's getting to you.
I've been bacon.
We also have a new, non-news.
history version of the Daily Zykeyes drop it each Monday morning where we do a deep dive into the Zyke's
through the lens of a different icon.
Last week we did Bjork.
Yesterday we did David Lynch.
David.
A very normal person who makes works of art that are, I'll say it, downright Lynchian.
Those are the episodes that drop Monday with icon in the title.
Anna just gave a real good spike down the camera.
Our guest today is just going down the barrel like fucking Jim before you join the CIA.
It's Tuesday, July 21st, 2026.
Yes, it's July 21st.
It's National Junk Food Day.
I love junk food.
Yes, we love it.
Give me Cheetos.
National Lammington Day.
Shout out to the people in Australia.
Yeah.
And then this one is interesting because I was just talking to Jack about Alf,
but it's also Invite an Alien to Live with You Day,
which I think is actually born out of Mork and Mindy.
It's just like a thing to celebrate like sci-fi.
stuff but the morgan mindy lobby is still out here doing yeah yeah they've somehow it says
celebrating the beloved sitcom morke and mindy this quirky holiday encourages us to ponder life beyond
yeah whatever anyway how about you just be nice i'd let an alien live with me yeah let just like
kind of chill i'd hide them in my uh there's no way you let an alien live with you you wouldn't be
freaked out the whole time and like dude what if the guy this fucker snaps i'm very lonely
it's it's so visibly a dangerous like a danger to you
I have to, I only live off human meat.
You're like, that's cool, dude.
You like the Sixers?
It looks exactly like the alien from Alien.
Like, it's a xenomorph, clearly.
But it's like wearing a Sixers jersey.
I'm trying to go full E-T on it.
This guy's chill, dude.
This guy gets it.
Maybe we'll go to Wawa later.
Oh, man, this guy knows what stuff.
They've adapted to wear Sixers jerseys.
Can devour all Sixers fans.
Where are we?
My name is Jack O'Brien, AK.
Don't go eating salad.
Khalid greens.
Please stick to cooked veggies that won't give you explosive poo.
That one courtesy of memes to an end.
That's just health.
That's just health advice right there.
I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
This Miles Gray, aka, I was sexting with a ghost.
I said ghost.
Please send a pick.
Shout out Tegan Sarah.
Shout out Snarfil-a for that one.
Snorff.
Because we don't know.
We don't know.
Who's a ghost anymore?
And who's a live senator?
Who's a ghost anymore, really, when you think about it?
Can you imagine they start?
That's how they try and spin the Mitch McConnell thing.
They're like, what is a ghost, Stephen?
And are we really going to discriminate them and say they cannot participate in our democracy?
I think that's just mean.
Miles were thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the original day one superproducer of this very show, the Daily Zekeist.
She currently superproduces many of the first rate podcasts on this network.
such as this is important in Las Culturistas.
She is, we had to bribe her with a trip to the Bahamas to come back and produce the daily Zikeyes.
You've heard her on, I don't know, on a streaming corner, it's the mind behind that's prestige casting, TM.
It's auto hosni!
Hi, how are you?
Great, how are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
How tennis goes this morning?
Oh my God. Tennis is incredible. Our tennis pro is great. Yeah. He's a legend. Like good at tennis.
Oh, so good at tennis. Cool. Great. How often are tennis like teachers bad where you go, oh no, this guy's a fraud?
It's not necessarily that they're bad, but like some like won't hit with you like how you would want. Like you want someone, I mean, I guess it depends on your level. But if you really want someone to hit with you and they're like, no, I'll just feed you balls. And it's like, no.
No, I'm trying to get it in. Come from my throat so I can like.
Yeah, better.
Play.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he was down.
At one point, it was me and him were on a team playing two other people and a team.
We were playing to get doubles, basically.
And I turned to one point.
I'm like, step it up.
I'm serious.
We need to win this.
I was like, you're the tennis bro.
Come on, man.
Yeah.
And then when he woke up your wife, not happy.
Really?
Oh, that was the opposition.
Yeah, he had this British, lovely British man.
Peter?
Yeah.
Paul?
Yeah.
The third person in our marriage.
Um, well, he was just there.
He was funny.
He had jokes, but, um.
He was making your laugh.
Like, like crack up the whole time you're going to see a joke.
I haven't seen her laugh like that.
You might want to come to the next clinic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was just, like, just a jolly old British man who had like so many like, you know,
he had some dad, a lot of dad jokes.
Oh.
So he was nice.
English people love a pun.
So yeah, I can see that.
Yeah.
He was, he did say like your wife was making us look bad, which I was like,
that's nice.
Yeah.
Because it's true.
She was.
She's really good.
She's growing on me.
I'll say that.
I will say that your approach to tennis coaches,
very similar to your approach as a producer.
Just no bullshit.
You did say to Miles and I today before we started recording.
And I was surprised you guys wore that today.
Wow.
You guys knew you're going to be on camera.
I literally was like, are you on camera?
You're supposed to be on camera and you wore that.
I didn't think of.
I was at the pool literally.
50 minutes before we started
I think it's also yeah I mean shout out patriarchy
that we don't have the privilege sometimes
of thinking of what our appearances
I can hear in makeup for eight hours
yeah but part of it is funny
because I thought I was eating with this outfit
Miles looks great
yeah I think I was more directed at me
I look like T-Moo fucking
what's that guy
from Fear and Loving
Crocodile Duny
oh T-Moo
fuck Hunter S. Thompson
I got the bucket hat, the glasses.
I got a member's only shirt.
Yeah.
You do look good.
Don't let her tell you any different.
You're wearing a towel that they turn into shorts.
That's a towel I turned into shorts.
Those are great shorts.
I just wrapped them around my legs.
Anyways.
I love you guys.
I love you guys.
So glad we're back together.
Nice to see you, man.
We do it to change the Overton window because you look fantastic.
You do.
Thank you so much.
I wore my best one arm top.
Yeah.
Is that the technical term?
For the shirt, you're wearing like a Tarzan top?
Was that a Tarzan tea?
What do you call it?
Because it's brown?
You're calling it a Tarzan tea?
No, like it just feels very caveman.
Yeah, that's how Tarzan.
You're making it worse.
Cave Man.
I mean, I don't know.
Look, I don't know.
Is it the hair?
I'm wearing a member's only shirt.
I found a garbage bag.
Okay.
That's true.
So I don't have a place to talk.
We're just, we're just having fun.
Do we, uh, we are at the resort in the Bahamas, Bahamas.
Yeah.
Incredible place.
Incredible place.
Incredible studio.
They have an amazing podcast.
studio. They invited us
down to record at it. It's actually putting
our network to shame.
Our home studios
look bad by comparison.
They meant to invite the daily and
someone put a typo and then he showed up.
Honestly, that could be
that that would make more sense.
And you're Michael Barbaro?
I would have just gone immediately.
I would have gone right into it.
I still remember when the daily
came out after Daily's like
This was up and running and I was like, not in the same way.
Not in the same way.
Get off my porch, Barbaro.
Anna.
Hi, how are you?
Hi, we're thrilled to have you here.
Thank you so much.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Okay.
Hit the bricks.
We're reading the.
We'll get to that.
The whites, the greatest hits of the whites.
Before we do that, we're going to tell the list of a couple of things we're talking about.
Today, we're talking about.
the Canadian wildfire smoke coming in hot over New York City.
We're going to talk about the ongoing saga.
This is probably the most we've ever covered a single story in consecutive days.
Taco Bell's explosive diarrhea scandal.
Yeah.
Scandal.
Why do you guys always say it's Taco Bells?
That's how it's being presented in the mainstream media.
They're kind of slam Taco Bell.
Oh.
I thought it was the salad bag industry.
Taylor Farms.
It is.
It is.
was the name that was associated with it.
Now the FDA is coming out and being like,
we were a little too hasty with that.
Immediately after the CEO of that company met with Donald Trump,
that would be a complete summation of everything you need to hear.
Let's just say I'm not the diarrhea guy, Mr. President.
Heard, heard, definitely.
We'll talk about the aftermath of the World Cup
where Spain had to Photoshop Donald Trump out of the celebration picture.
and we'll talk about the most important work of art
that was brought over to the world in the past year.
Sergio Farnari has gifted the world
sculpture of Charlie Kirk that looks so good.
Appropriately fucked up.
No one's buying it.
And we'll talk about Gemmethy, of course.
The tiny, the short-spined raccoon king
of all our hearts.
All of that plenty more.
But first, Anna, we do.
do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are? Well, you mentioned it earlier, but it's the white people phrases. That's true. I think that
was probably our cold open also. Oh, should I come up with something different? I have a little.
No. What else did you search? Wait, you just searched white people phrases? Yeah. Just generally
to be like, what are some white? No, I mean, I saw it on threads and then I remembered I saw it on
threads. Then I looked it back up again. So you're on threads. Everybody's on threads. No, I'm not on
threads. What happens is I'm scrolling Instagram and they show you a thread. The ball up threads.
Yeah. Then I click it and it takes me to threads. And then I start scrolling and then at some point I realize I'm
on threads and then I exit the threads app. It's always, yeah, it's a fun place. Like,
usually people that are witty can ratio the fuck out of another post on it. Like I always see comedians just
ratioing people. It's also like, oh, there's a lot of like I caught my my husband cheating like threads.
And then I get so deep into this person's life because I'm just reading it. It's like eight threads.
I'm like, are we friends now?
And there's just this one woman just straight up like, anyway, we don't have to get into it, but she, she was like, she ate with her divorce strategy.
Let me tell you.
What she did?
Because the man was cheating on her.
She figured it out based off like, she was doing like straight like location searches, matching it with his like receipts and stuff, finding out all this information.
Sorry, just hit my mic.
And then through that was able to like build a case against him that he was having an affair before he was able to like leave her.
I feel like I'm already back on threat.
I'm saying they're like commenting.
And yeah, so when he basically was going to leave her,
she presented him with all the evidence.
And then like essentially in their mediation, got everything.
Yeah, like because he had so much.
Oh, she was like, yeah, having concurrent evidence.
And he was like an executive somewhere and like made money.
And so like she just she was like, all right, yeah, keep cheating.
And then like slowly annihilated him.
I love someone who's so sloppy with their personal business.
They're like, fuck you do.
I heard he's living in a studio apartment now outside the city.
And you're like,
Incanarcy.
Outside the city?
He can't even afford inside the city.
He can't afford inside the city.
He's bridging tunnel now, baby.
He's bridging tunnel now.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's what I'm doing on Threat.
This,
this Instagram threat, white people say is,
like, I'm not going to be able to talk anymore because this is,
it's just all you.
It's just getting me.
White people love yawning extremely loud than
shouting shit afterwards.
I do that shit all the time.
You do?
Yeah.
How?
Oh, shit.
Oh, like that.
Okay.
I needed someone from the white world to help.
You need my interpretation of that.
Should we go through some of them?
The classics.
What were the other?
White people love to say free car wash when it starts raining.
Yeah.
I mean, the phrases that I saw were like, you and what army?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, you and what army, pal?
Yeah.
You're a cruising for a bruising.
Yeah.
It's a lot of the original ones.
I think the first one I saw,
the white people snack when they said
get a load of this guy.
Yes, yes, that one.
They ate with that one.
We did.
Type shit.
Get a load of this guy.
Yeah, there's some good ones.
Newsflash, buddy.
Newsflash buddy.
Working hard or hardly working.
Oh, yeah.
Love that one.
The one that fucked me up was when they said
getting my white people love to say getting my steps in.
Oh man.
I've just passing you by.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My steps in.
I mean, anyways.
Cool your jets.
I'll try.
Cool.
What is something that you think is underrated?
You know what?
This is this is a fun.
This is something that's really come into like my, like I've started to notice this more and more.
I mean, I think I've always noticed it.
But recently I've been like, we need, there needs to be like almost an award systems for this.
But like sort of like ambulance.
chaser lawyer billboard.
Yes.
Are they not incredible?
Yeah.
Like Jacob and Ronnie or Sweet Jim or sweet Jim?
Well, Jacob.
What's the name?
Sweet James.
Sweet James.
We all know what happened with Sweet James on Real Housewives of Orange County.
Ladies.
But, uh, what happened?
Sweet James.
What happened to Jesus?
I just called him.
What happened to James?
I just called him.
What happened to James?
Orange County.
What happened with the point of Chief James Orange County?
What happened to Wheat County?
His wife was on it.
And he like moved to.
Puerto Rico and like divorced her and left her with nothing with their kids.
She was like they were like in a brutal divorce all season.
Sweet James bounced on his old lady and children.
Not sweet.
Wow.
What about Jacob and Ronnie, Los Angeles legend?
Legend.
Never met each other.
No, he's a legend.
I thought you said Jacob and Ronnie.
Oh, no.
That's how, see, that's how a lot of people they miss here.
That's same thing with her majesty.
She's like, I thought it was Jacob and Ronnie.
Yeah.
The law firm.
I'm like, no, it's Jacob and Ronnie.
No, and Ronnie.
Yeah.
And Ronnie.
But there was, I saw one.
recently where it's this white woman and she's just back to back with jaw rule on her
poster and it's like oh you got a new york or her billboard you're like yeah yeah what i mean genius
but like why is did you help jaw rule is there some language that goes no it just says her i have a
photo of it i can show you guys but like it just says her like law firm name but there's the jaw rule of
that's smart it's the same way like isn't it's james that does like a lot of laker stuff yeah yeah
gets in front because he's like that's how i'm going to legitimize legitimize
myself to the people. Yeah, right. And so does Jacob and Ronnie. So I can only imagine this one was like,
Jal rule, I got a hundred round of hundred quid. I'm New York. He's like, yes. But also, you know,
there's the woman in Southern California who just has her like German Shepherd. Yeah. Which is like,
what's. And there's Accidentes? Yeah. What's the, what's the angle with the German Shepherd here?
Something wrong call Anna Fung. Yes. She's a classic. But yeah, no, I think they do. Who hurt you?
You see that one? Yeah. There's some really good stuff.
There's one that says who hurt you and it's just a lawyer like looking kind of empathetic.
In a crash, oh, it's because it says always there when you call.
Yeah.
Because that's the jaw rule with the lady.
But how did she get jaw rule?
Oh, always on time.
I would have gotten up.
Baby, baby my dear.
But like this is who jaw rule is hanging out with?
It's, you know, hold on.
Let me look at jaw rule really quick.
I got a lot of later.
Oh, man.
There's something about this generation of rappers in their latter day.
They're all looking the same.
Like, he looks like Exhibit.
Exhibit looks exactly like this now.
Did you also see Exhibit with his cat?
I saw that post.
Yes.
That's what I was just thinking.
He said, I've had him since 2006.
That's a Pimp My Ride era cat.
Yes, exactly.
And it's so funny that clip where Exhibit is like, he's so in his just normal talking thing.
And you can tell he loves this cat.
He's like, this is what she's on, you know, so she gets the,
11 and older cat food and a little junk food when she's feeling like that.
Then she needs IVs and stuff.
So I have somebody coming to give her IVs.
And that's why she's 20 years old now.
Wow.
And I have people sending me things about her.
And I really, it's just funny to hear this exhibit me so earnest about his.
But also like if you look at his cat, like she's also mugging.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like really cute.
Amazing.
I'll show you a photo for that later.
Yeah.
What is something you think is overrated?
Oh, the overrated.
Yeah.
This might be controversial.
T.
Period.
Period.
T, period.
T, period.
Who's cruising for a bruising, Anna?
Yeah.
Who's cruising for a bruising?
I think what's overrated, I mean, this is very, like, topical because of everything
that's been going on, but, like, the flop.
Mm-hmm.
The flop.
The World Cup.
So I have, okay.
You're saying like.
There's about to be 8,000 dudes in my mentions, but.
No, this isn't to universally.
I just think the flop.
Here's a thing.
keep it in the penalty box.
That's where it matters.
If you're flopping midfield, get up.
You're humiliating your family.
Your last name is like a shame.
Like, get up.
His wife is over there.
Be like, get up.
And I understand a footballer's greatest performance is when you're barely touched in the penalty box.
I understand.
I get it.
You want that free kick.
It is what we are all fighting for in life, a free kick.
It's a metaphor.
But like, again, if you're within inches of the center line of this field, there is no reason for you to be rolling all the way downtown, holding your knees as if like, honey, you work out, you're fine.
You're a professional athlete.
Get up.
That's a tactic.
Unless it's like messy coming and using his entire cleat to drag down the back of your leg.
You think of a player like Messi, he doesn't go down like that.
He's actually just so focused on getting to the goal.
Like he's not as big of a flopper as like a lot of other players are.
Well, penalty box.
Yeah, but even that, I feel like he's his mojo is, I think because he's so small,
he was just kind of like sort of over his time of playing.
Yeah, he's like, I don't have time, man.
They're going to try and hack me, but I'd rather just score.
But I do like the stakes of like only flopping in the penalty box because if you are
diving and they find you guilty of simulation, you can get sent off.
Yeah.
Or you can get a yellow card.
But I feel like don't waste it on that.
So that's already a rule.
They already have the anti-flopping rule?
Yeah.
If it feels like a clear dive, they call it just,
they call it simulation.
Like if someone is like, and you fly across the field.
Yeah.
They're going to be like, crap.
But at the same time.
But I'm very weak.
You're just your wrist.
I just hurt.
I have very low pain tolerance.
I just think, just.
They're like, damn, bro, he's crying.
I'm like, I don't have.
I don't have time for you guys to add 85 minutes to the end of this game.
Yeah, well, that's,
moving.
That's the thing is, like, it's done tactically to slow the game down.
Or if, like, your team, the other team's playing, they got a lot of momentum.
Then you just slow it down with tactical floppy's.
There's the thing they do where they get hit in some way.
And, like, it may be if I may not.
And then they do both knees up, like the, like their heels hit their butt.
Yeah.
And they're like, me.
Ah!
Yeah.
It's one of the funniest things that, like, an athlete can possibly do.
have both legs sweep simultaneously.
Avoiding a tackle, though, too, because if your weights on that foot and someone comes through, that's...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, it's broken bone city.
Yeah.
But I will say, like, a clean tackle is some of the greatest work.
Oh, yeah.
Mexico did it well.
Mexico had some incredible clean tackles where I was like, they didn't even touch the guy.
Yeah.
They only got the ball.
They were on it.
They did what they were supposed to do.
Get the ball back and give it to your attackers?
Yes, yes, that.
There's some moments of physics in soccer where like, do you see that video of that male buffalo just like sending that guy flying?
Yeah.
And you know what?
Let's not blame that guy.
He was just walking by.
He was trying to get away.
Yeah.
He was so far away.
That buffalo got up.
Would you say Yellowstone?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
And he said, you, my friend, are fun.
You've been selected.
Yeah.
You've been marked.
They were far away from him.
He'd not walk up to this buffalo.
Oh, that's crazy because I think I've only seen the.
impact clip like the legs up yeah yeah rag up she shouldn't have been near that fucker then you've seen the
remix yeah yeah yeah we've got buffalo said today is your chosen day to be home i'm sorry but your
your descendants have created karma for you that you cannot escape in the field and i'm here to
fucking deliver it but i feel like sometimes that's what like a good tackle will just send somebody
like flying through the air well that's kind of happened with enzo fernandez's the second yellow card in
the final like he came through and i think yeah how krabasi or something that's
Something just.

Sorry, that's actually something Miles just said previous to the was coming back.
Nope, Miles didn't say any such thing.
I'm just sitting back and said, I'm back.
said, I'm nasty, bro.
I'm nasty, bro.
Sorry.
Water park is sick here.
Yes.
I haven't been there.
We need to go on.
The three of us need to go before,
because you're our guest again on Friday.
Before we do that,
we need to go on the five-person water slide intertube thing that like send you up the wall.
And then you like lose someone.
Yeah.
You can lose someone?
Well, I mean.
I mean, you shouldn't.
It'll be me.
And my butt will get hurt again.
Oh, not again.
It was so fun.
It was like the most fun water slide I've been on for me and my 10 year old and my 8 year old was like, I did not like that.
He was like mad at me when we came off.
I was like, all right, man.
Oh, so now you go, now I got to go do it some big kids.
I'm going to go ask my big kid.
When you sit down here and watch?
Big kids?
Wait for us.
Well, you were also like really into that devil's backbone.
Devil's backbone?
Devils backbone?
Are you talking about devil's backbone?
It's funny.
It starts out with Jack being like, yeah, come on, boys.
We're going to go do the devil's backbook.
And then we learned that it was just Jack who wants to do it.
The kids were like, we're not.
I asked his kids, I go, oh, how is devil's back when they're like, nah, we didn't.
My dad did it though.
Yeah.
And I was like, this is the Mountain Dew all over again.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I love water slides.
I love Mountain Dew.
That's what I'm saying.
It's always like when I, I see, I remember, when I first started working with Jack, I had
so much respect for him.
And then one day he turns to me and goes, I could chug like a six pack of Mountain Dew right
right now.
And I was like, what?
Are you crazy?
I can't chug Mountain Dew faster than any human honor.
That's what I'm saying.
And after that, I started to be like,
Oh, he's just, he's just a guy.
Were you a chugger?
He's just the guy.
Like, you could open that throat, you were the throat goal?
Yeah, I was a throat guy.
Just to like get it down.
Yeah, I mean, that's the secret of chugging.
He's like, you're not even swallowing.
The water slide thing is also a layer of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just a.
And I'm hurting my bud on a simple cliff die.
12 year old from Kentucky.
That's basically, you know.
Hell yeah, dog.
Anyway.
All right.
Let's talk wildfire smoke.
Yeah.
Let's talk wildfire.
I don't know.
Canada is literally shitting on our country right now.
Now, New York is, I'm getting pictures from my friends.
It is wild.
It looks over.
It looks like London,
foggy London town.
It's like hundreds of fires happening at the same time.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
The fire map in Canada is why.
What did they?
Someone said it looked like Lisa Frank.
Yeah, it's all like pink and red.
Oh, wow.
Was that a weird?
Crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, it's looking beautiful and fun up there.
And you're like, it's like, 400.
Oh, right.
Like air quality.
Right.
Oh, the air quality map.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
The trapper keeper trap got as Brian the editor called her.
It's bad out there.
It's bad out there.
I was there.
It was, I was in the office one day in Midtown.
And I went outside and I was like, am I like, is there a filter on this movie?
You know, like that is the energy where you're like, are we shooting a scene in Sicario?
Yeah.
I was like, what is this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sicario mode.
I'll check to see if I saw my sunglasses on.
New York City is going sacriot.
You're like, I have to have sunglasses on this.
It's not possible.
Keep trying to take your sunglasses off like,
but it was bad.
It was tough to walk my dog.
I was telling you guys earlier,
like my dog was doing his like performative like,
I'm so sick.
But this time I had to believe him because the smoke was.
That sounds like my mom when I would be sick.
Like you're performing.
Well, my dog famously is performing.
Oh, okay.
In his like bullshit.
Oh,
drama.
Yeah, he's dramatic.
He lives for the drama.
He does.
And so.
So then the solution to the air quality.
I mean, Donald Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on Canada,
which if this was a one-time thing that was happening only from Canada to the U.S.,
he'd be, I'm here for it, you know?
But unfortunately, we pollute them where they pollute us,
and we are the number one driver behind a global economy that is making all of them.
this happen. So it does
feel a little weird. I don't know. I don't know.
It feels weird. Fine for that. More
tariffs is the solution, which is
so weird. Because they worked out so well for him
and all of us. He said
the bad air has quote invaded
the U.S. Okay. Look,
that's kind of genius, low key. Using words
like invaded for his fan base
is like, you're right.
Yeah. It's like they're not, they don't even know what's
going on, but you hear the word invaded.
Yeah. Boom. Oh.
Canada, you're dead.
Just say, no, there's a wildfire smoke caravan
hitting for the border.
I like my wildfire smoke to come in the country the right way.
That's right.
Like my neighbor.
Yeah, that's tough.
But he also said that they're not good at like, you know,
maintaining their forests and brush there.
And I'm like, girl, have you heard of California?
He always remember, like when I think it was a paradise fire when he was in his first term,
he's like, you need to be raking more.
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, that's it.
It's not the climate change.
But yeah, I mean, sure, there is some.
forest management that can't be done but wait are you like everyone they're just cutting those
costs across the yeah yeah we're cutting the the what is it the forest service the the the fire that
they do beforehand i forget what it's called controlled burns controlled burns they cut the budget
for that so it's like if you're cutting that controlled burn it's like well honey yeah yeah you're
replaced it's not doing that like controlled burns have been replaced with mr burns hey
I guess
Poyles keeps pointing at the camera
even though
And the wrong one every time
That's a single on Anna
That's you
All right
Spiking Anna's camera
Yep
As the wildfires rage
Mark Carney
was hyping a new pipeline
on social media
So they're not doing great up there either
They got
Doug Ford
Who didn't allocate
Enough for this year's
firefighting budget
a lot of bad shit to go around on both sides.
Speaking of bad shit.
Miles, you took the segue right out of my mouth.
You should ride those.
You shouldn't eat them.
On Thursday, sources claimed that the FDA identified a potential source of the cyclosporiasis
outbreak.
And it was Taylor Farms who supplied iceberg lettuce to Taco Bell.
They were the same company that had to recall.
onions following an E. coli outbreak at McDonald's in 2024.
I started to notice a trend here. I feel like.
What's the trend? What is a trend?
We're shitting on our food.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk about postage a no tap, like, non-apology.
Pretty funny. I thought that was pretty funny. We want you to hear it from us.
We take it's very fuckboy energy. We want you to hear it from us. We take your health and safety
seriously and have removed all affected Taylor Farms lettuce from Taco Bell stores.
So go ahead and enjoy your Taco Bell today.
You always got us.
We always got you.
See you in the drive-thru, babe.
Oh, man.
Love you, babe.
I mean, I personally didn't realize it was like a Taco Bell centered.
To start, yeah.
Yeah, I was just like, I just saw like, oh, you know, don't eat these vegetables or fruits
because they could be potentially unwashed and covered in poop.
Well, the washing doesn't change it.
But now I'm learning.
Because to me, I was like the salad bag situation, which is a very funny way to learn how many of your friends eat like bagged salad.
People are like, I'm not eating dinner anymore.
I'm like, girl, like, go get Taco Bell.
Right, right, right.
But yeah, now I know.
I mean, I haven't had Taco Bell in a very long time, which seems like a tragedy.
I know.
I don't live near one anymore.
Still good?
They don't have any in Brooklyn?
They do, but it's just like not near.
enough for me to like make the effort to go to talk like if i'm going to taco bell it has to be below my
building well so the food in new york's pretty good i would say yeah i'm like everyone's like hey you want to
go this nice rest and i'm like girl i'm going to talk i haven't been to taco bell in a week yeah hey
dix shit i'm trying to get a chalupa uh no i'm trying to get a crunch rap girl there you go
crunch rap supreme so now the fda is claiming their test of taylor farm's lettuce was actually a false
positive and taylor is saying the fda fda i apologize to them for the mix up what
But recently people on Twitter are like, it's so weird because the CEO of Taylor Farms just met with Donald Trump.
And now suddenly they're like, guys, did we say Taylor Farms?
We've fucked up.
No, not Taylor.
Taylor would never.
Never.
Taylor, girl.
Did you poop on the leaves?
That does seem like, I don't know.
We might be in a badly run country.
Yeah, I think we're still figuring out.
FTA probably has six people working there by now.
And they don't give a fuck.
They're all like just.
Also,
I've just been like Reddit has just been my real,
getting my finger on the pulse of it.
There's just so many like weird posts.
Like there's one was from what no stupid question.
Someone just asked how violently does diarrhea have to come out of your ass to be
considered quote explosive?
And a lot of people are like,
truly don't know.
It's just like,
people are trying to answer,
like honestly.
Like the Scoville scale.
It's like,
yeah.
So,
okay,
so you start to feel a little rumble in your bumble.
Like miles per hour.
And then you're like,
I cannot stop it from coming out.
It's self-pulsed.
Yeah.
That's explosive.
Like,
if you're able to be like,
let me just hold it.
That doesn't count because you're able to hold it.
The second you can't hold it,
that's explosive,
period.
Right.
Right before you poop,
you hear,
I'm a true butt hole shitting with me.
Yeah, that's great.
That's great.
The other thing I saw was in our Utah, the Utah subreddit.
Of course.
Wow, you're going across subreddit.
I got to go.
You got you cross state lines.
Dude, I've seen there are people posting pictures of like, do not get the nachos at TGI Fridays.
The explosive diarrhea parasite, you will not be, you will not defeat it.
No, how matter.
Like, there are people cautionary tales from hospital.
as people were posting from the toilet.
And then in Utah, our Utah,
so who has the explosive diarrhea parasite?
It says there was one person in Utah that had the explosive diarrhea parasite.
Please, please, please come forward.
Parenthetical, I'm trying to lose 20 pounds by September.
So please let a girl know.
So please let a girl know, I'm assuming.
Yeah, that's funny.
It's like, I always think like, women are like, oh, explosive diarrhea.
And like, dudes are like, I'm hospitalized.
Yeah.
And girls are like,
Roski meme.
Wait a second.
Like, we're all just so unwell.
We're like, hmm.
That's one way.
Hey.
Yeah, a lot of people.
I try to lose 20 pounds is a lot of diarrhea.
My girl, don't do it that way.
Yeah, you know, that is not the way to do it.
You will be hospitalized.
But not just even from that from the explosive diarrhea because a lot of people are like,
don't even joke about having it.
They're like, you will, you'll be inside out, man, by the end of it.
I have a male friend who once said,
Oh, she's so lucky you had diarrhea.
What?
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
Like from a...
So not just women.
Yeah, men also have body dysmorphia.
Yeah, body, he was, wait.
So he was like, he's like, that's sick that you lost all that weight from diarrhea.
Yeah, he's like, I wish I had, darned.
Did you like unveil a new diarrhea bot or something?
Yeah.
And he was like, damn, homie.
Check out this stuff.
Holy shit, dude.
That's what they say.
They're six packs ain't made in the kitchen, dude.
They're made on the toilet.
I bet they're made on the toilet.
That they brought us down here.
Ew.
Let's talk about, so the World Cup we talked about it yesterday's trending.
Big day for the Muppets.
Yep.
Big day for Tom Cruise.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Big day for people who like to dress like shit.
They can be like, I'm just pulling a Bieber, us on this show, everybody except Donna.
Sad day for Donald Trump, though.
I hate to see.
I didn't like to see this.
Not that he knew.
He wanted to be in the trophy celebration.
with Spain was lingering longer than is usual.
I guess not when you recognize that like American sports,
the billionaire team owners always make the celebration about themselves.
Maybe he's just like, this is what we do at sporting events.
The richest person on stage just gets to hold the trophy and, you know, celebrate.
And so he tried to hang around and then Spain, and this hurts me to say it,
photoshopped him out of the picture.
Yeah. Well, it's funny because
Johnny Infantino even knew he's like, dude,
I've put up with a lot of shit, but you cannot
blight the frame with your appearance.
Like, those images are iconic with the captain
lifting the trophy. The thing was,
when he was there, it's like, a, part of him
just Trump loves, like, residual glory
to just be around it and like, yeah,
that's me too. Yeah. But then also his
senility, he was just like doing his, like, weird
slumped standing pose.
And like when Johnny Infantinels, like,
come on, dad. It's time to take your medicine.
over here.
He was just like going off line intermittently.
Yeah, he went airplane mode.
Yeah, yeah.
As we like to say.
Yeah.
I honestly thought the photos of him in it were photoshopped.
Yeah, because it's so bizarre.
I was like, oh, did the White House put him in?
No.
Yeah, that's how awkwardly he was stood.
Also, I think, I don't know who else refused to shake his hand, but one of the Argentinian players, Christian Romero, like, legit was like, no.
Did the yonk?
When he was trying to give a shake, he's just like, no, not today.
which I was surprised.
I'm like, did anybody else or just him?
So who knows?
Well, that's fucked up.
Now you know why you lost Argentina.
He does look like he's deflating a little bit, Donald Trump.
Like, just getting, everything is just bone and excess skin at this point.
Is he doing the old JLP ones?
I don't, I think for a while, but just like, I will see pictures of him where he just like seems like he's like.
I think that's like a symptom, like you start to, if you don't, like, if you take JLP ones, but you're
not exercising. You lose a lot of like muscles.
Yeah, yeah, right.
So your body sense tends to drag a little.
Right, right.
So I don't know.
Looking like a bounce house that sprung a leak, you know?
Yeah, sure, sure.
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly how I would describe.
About to be plugged.
Oh, you're not spending most of your time at children's birthday parties.
Are you?
And then thinking of like the darkest thing ever.
You're like, yeah.
That's like a person down.
Have you seen Simon Cowell's face?
I just like this.
Uh, let's take a quick break.
We'll be back.
We'll talk about some pop culture stuff.

And we're back.
We're back.
I've got to find my family.
Come on, man.
That's her bit, dude.
My family's missing.
My family's missing.
That was a running bit that Anna was on a.
I feel like I just need to go through my messages and just search that phrase because it's only going to tag.
You guys don't know.
I had a bit in the office pre-COVID where I'd always tell the guys my family.
was missing and I had to go fine.
I don't know how it started.
I think I just need to get out.
My family is missing.
My cat family is missing.
My family is missing.
My family is missing.
I have some serious problems to deal with.
My family is missing.
These are all texts from Anna to the group chat.
My family is missing.
Just searching my messages.
The earliest mention was July 30th, 2019.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
That's, no, I think that's probably the first time I texted.
Texted to me.
Because it was in the office, I'd always be telling you.
I'd be like, I got to go.
My family's missing.
That's my way to get out of work was to tell Jack, my family was missing.
For the first three years of our working relationship, I was very, I was like, guys, I'm concerned about Anna.
Her family's been missing for eight years.
You sent this video, Jack, on Thanksgiving, 22.
Look at your youngest, filling it with baby face.
Oh, yeah.
And so Jack just sends, hey, happy Thanksgiving, guys.
And I hope your gravy was a hit because you were talking about how you had to make gravy.
Your response, my family is missing.
The gravy was not a hit.
Oh, no, because that was THC gravy.
That was what it was, yeah.
Who were you having Thanksgiving with?
Clearly not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My family is missing or I'm wasted.
I don't know.
Anyway.
I'm sorry.
That is so stupid.
It's stay. It's consistent. That's the best thing about a consistent thing. And I haven't sent that in so long. I got to get back to me.
Yeah. Look what happened. You suited it to Jack. I know. I have to bring it back. Let's talk about art.
Please. You're wearing a gallery shirt too. I know. That's what in honor of my favorite artists, Sergio Fumari, Furnari. Furnari.
Like off brand Ferrari. That's like what you Australian say. If you pull up in a fake Ferrari,
in Australia like, mate, that's a fernari.
Farnar.
It's a Farnari.
Rner, I crashed my
forner.
He's not a Ferrari.
He's a sculptor.
Although the art just flows through him in whatever
form that he was.
And I think probably the best example of a
pretentious asshole who
thinks what he's doing is
artistic and merits any
kind of recognition, but he's also
doing it in the most transparently self-serving
way. So this guy made a
statue that's
that he was intending to display in Times Square of Charlie Kirk.
He said would, quote, raise millions of dollars.
This is from the Guardian, quote,
instead he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying
they intend to urinate on this sculpture.
Wow.
He says, quote, is it cursed?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Ooh, this guy is smart.
He knows how to raise the profile of it.
Is it cursed?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Then when they said, hey, look, dude, like, why Charlie Kirk?
He said he doesn't agree with him on certain issues.
quote, I wasn't a fan of Charlie.
Like one thing that I couldn't stand about him while he was alive when he was talking about
Palestine, Kirk would say, oh, no, Palestine doesn't exist.
I thought, well, this guy must be out of his mind.
I'm like, okay, interesting.
So why?
He later added, why am I making the statue?
The same reason why Michelangelo did the Pieta or Michelangelo did the David or Leonardo
Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.
Why?
Just to commemorate a moment, you know, a person.
I love that his artist's touchpoints for art.
where you're at, the master's.
The three people, like the three works of art that a five-year-old knows about.
Yeah, yeah.
Do we know why Michael Angelo did the Pito or David?
Do we know why?
I think it was paid by Rich.
Da Vinci did Mona Lisa?
By the.
Like, what are those reasons?
Like the Medici's or something, probably?
Just all those wealthy people who were like, it's time to make money rain on the artisans.
Give us culture.
I don't think it was just to commemorate a moment.
Right.
I think that's where he's trying to be like, because some of these people, like,
they talk about their own divine.
for these classical works of art.
This guy basically melted a bunch of steel and resin
and made a terrifying-looking version of Charlie Kirk
and he's like, I need money for this now.
So this sculpture, the first thing to note about the sculpture
is it looks like shit.
It's color somehow.
He's got blue jeans as if that's the main thing about Charlie Kirk
that we know is that his pants were blue.
Nothing else is really colored in that much.
shirt that says freedom. Yeah, but that one's like also blue. But it's like funny, the photo that
in this guardian article, because like the whole thing is he's posed on a bench to be like,
debate me kind of thing. And then there's like a fucking old guy with his like Pomeranian or whatever
dog that is. This dog in the photo is the star. Look at his face. Like he's side eyeing like this
is crazy, right? Right. Wait. And then this guy, oh, that's the artist. That's guy. He injured his
foot making it. That's why he's got like a walking boot on and it's elevated while he's
Rose really wrestled with this one.
Missed opportunity to not put Charlie Kirk in some like on cloud sneakers.
Right.
Oh, wow.
That's real art.
That's real art, though.
I know.
That's very specific detail.
The thing with those artists he mentioned, though, is usually people paid him, paid them to make them.
Yeah.
Usually they did a good job.
Patrons of the arts typically would come through.
And this was not, somehow this was not the case for this story or for this statue.
What's wrong with it?
Is it that his legs are too?
long? Why does this look so much
like shit? What's wrong with it? Well, the torso is way
too short. The torso is shaped like grew.
He's definitely shaped like grew.
And look how broad the shoulders is.
He got football pads on.
So anyway,
he
no one commissioned him to make it.
He said,
this is so funny quote,
he had expected unnamed wealthy figures to donate to him.
He spent $100,000 on steel,
resin, and labor. But that
has not come to pass.
So he's set up a go-fund me for
$150,000. It's only raised like 1,400 as of this recording.
And then he said, quote, things financially are a total absolute nightmare.
It's like, wow.
But this is crazy too.
He goes, people are cheap, man.
You know, people talk, talk.
I know lots of people out there and everybody's so cheap.
You know, like, it's disgusting how cheap they are.
I need to understand what, like, how did making this sculpture like financially ruin him?
Like the cost of steel.
He spent $100,000.
If I spent $100,000 on something right now, I would be in a bad way.
Okay, he spent $100,000 on steel, resident labor.
And labor is probably, so I'm saying.
I spend it on that.
And the only thing anybody wants to do is piss on it.
I feel like, yeah, that would be.
Realistically, right?
Labor is a very, you know, subjective cost.
Oh, you have to pay yourself.
That's right.
Let me, yes.
You stole some catalytic converters, some copper wiring.
You melted it down with some resident.
Now you got a weird janky Charlie Kirk statue.
That being made out of catalytic converters.
That's a real art piece.
This is Charlie Kirk made out of melted down catalytic converters.
All stolen, period.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Oh, man.
I think also just like it's so funny to pivot your failure and then blaming other people
for being cheap when you have made an objectively disgusting statue that no one wants anything to do with.
Worst subject you could possibly make his culture of.
Yeah.
And also just seem like it is.
I can like draw a little bit and when I do like I'll just like fuck up the proportions.
Like you know like when you draw and then it's like a seventh grade artist.
Sharp was beautiful.
Check out our Instagram.
We'll be posting that.
You know, like just like you get different ratios off and he's he's completely fucked up
the ratio and then is immediately like, why did Michael Angelo do things?
So what's his idea that he was like trying to almost like,
His idea was like, well, I'm going to scam the right by like making this like, he thought he would make a thing that.
Honorable thing that they would enjoy and so they will pay for it.
But then they were like, girl, no one asked for that.
Yeah.
He's like, well, I'm out $100,000 because you cheap assholes.
And it feels like a Tim Robinson thing like to the chair company.
He was like, I talked to the guy.
He said he's going to buy the Charlie Kirk statue.
Okay.
That's why I got to finish it.
I need to take out a personal loan to finish it.
The guy said he's going to buy it.
then goes, they're so cheap, man.
Yeah.
They're all cheap.
Yeah, this man is just a Tim Robinson here.
So that's your attack now?
I know lots of people out there and everybody's so cheap.
You know, like, it's disgusting how cheap they are.
That portion of the quote, I know lots of people out there and everybody's so cheap.
You know, it's disgusting.
It's like, read the room.
Can't.
He doesn't seem like he's great at reading.
No, not at all.
And it's just so opportunistic.
And I think that's why the thing you made is not seen as art, but like a,
sort of mobile urinal.
Yeah.
And that's what it may have.
To lay your piss.
Yeah.
I mean, I do just have to say with the length of Charlie Kirk's torso, he's giving Jimothy.
Oh, yeah.
We all fell in love with Jimothy.
Raccoon, short-spined raccoon, I just wonder, is that what he's trying to capture here?
Right.
Could be.
No.
If anybody hasn't seen Jimothy, he is a raccoon that is.
He's so tiny.
He's got a tiny little spine that makes him look like a...
Is he going to be okay?
Like, is this one of those things?
You're like, yeah, he's cute now.
And then it will be in a horrible pain.
People say he's not in pain.
Who's that according to a random onlooker?
Yeah, yeah.
He's not in pain.
He's actually good.
Yeah, how do we know that he's not struggling?
Yeah, they say that it's not in pain as the condition doesn't necessarily cause pain
and he appears to be quite mobile.
So he's, he does seem fine.
It seems to be, in my extent,
sense of experience with raccoons, which is not much, but he's just chilling.
And you know what's the most interesting part is that the crows are all showing him respect?
Yeah.
They're like quiet around him.
They're like, yo.
The crows, the crows, which have a specific alarm call for raccoons, also seem to know
Jimothy was special.
When Jimothy was around, they were silent.
I mean, they're fucking smart, dude.
They're like, ah, Jimothy's not a threat.
Jimothy's just like that guy.
Yeah.
They're like, Jimit they.
Next day, crows ripped in half.
You underestimated me for the last time.
No, Jimithy, he's so cute.
Anyway, shout out to Pallaby for giving us the cute tiny animal alert that we always know we can fall in love with.
Oh, yeah.
Pallaby is always good for that.
And shout out to you, dear listener, for listening to the show.
And getting us to the Bahamas.
Yeah.
It's all been a grift and we're here.
We made it.
The show is going to go fully backwards now.
Way off the rails at this point.
Anna Hosnier, thank you so much for joining us.
Of course.
Thank you for having me always.
Where can people find you, follow you, see you, all that good stuff?

handle. And, you know, no pressure because who cares.
We're all going to die.
Easy. We're all going to die. Her famous catchphrase.
No, my famous catchphrase is my family missing.
Let's be real.
Where can people, is there a work of media that you've been to enjoy?
Yeah.
So I mean, the funniest thing about the end of the World Cup was that really crazy brawl that happened that they didn't show on broadcast.
Really made my day.
But I'm like, I love to see little hot men fight.
But there's this great meme that says,
Lameen praying while the others are beating the hell out of each other from behind.
And then they have like, me trusting God.
And then it's like World War III, Quarter Life Crisis.
another corruption, gas prices, depression.
It's like middle class taxation, misogyny.
Look how much fighting there was.
Well, like, let me, it's just like, thank you, God, for getting me here.
For, like, protecting my family and bringing me the cutest little brother who's like an international son.
He was stunting with the trophy.
Yeah.
His brother.
I saw him dab up a security guard.
Like, what?
Too much risk.
Like, if somebody, if a team.
You win the World Cup and then a team starts trying to start a fight with you.
I guess you're like still too ramped up to like just let it get let it die.
Yeah.
Like it does feel like you just like kind of laugh at them at that point.
Yeah, you can.
But I think for how kind of, you know, uh, chippy the game was, it's just like, oh,
you know, you wanted to boil over because you guys lost.
But also like, what is starting a brawl now going to do?
You just wanted to like get one in.
I mean, it's because, dude, there's so, the pressure is so intense.
Like, these, these guys, like, live for this singular moment.
And to have it just kind of fucking blow up in your face like that, like, you're going to kind of lose it.
Sure, but I also read a theory on threads because that's random.
But someone was like, I think Argentina during halftime does cocaine.
Like, what?
It's like catty junior high.
Yeah.
Like, don't you see it?
I heard she does cocaine.
They're always like real slow at the beginning.
And then after halftime, they're like, they.
pick it up and it's crazy out there.
And I'm like,
Messi was playing with an exploded cocaine heart the whole tournament.
I'm like, girl.
I mean, just because Maradonna was off that shit,
doesn't mean all Argentinian soccer players.
But I will say the brawl is not helping.
I feel like they're better stuff than cocaine for athletes at this point.
Yeah, like real oxygen doping, blood doping.
Yeah.
I just thought that was funny.
But I just love it because it's like dumb, like gossip.
Yeah.
I think they're doing cocaine.
I heard she does cocaine.
And it's actually really sad.
Miles, where can people find you?
Is there a work of media?
You've been enjoying.
Yeah, find me everywhere at Miles of Gray.
I'm talking about 90-day fiancé on 420-day fiancé,
and talking about the World Cup,
the last World Cup episode of Ain't at Footy coming up this week
with Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin,
a work of media I like was this one.
This was just a funny one about,
because of the halftime show,
a lot of people are like, what the fuck was that?
That was just like a fever dream of like North Americana.
And this is a post from Lau Ramoso.
And it said the Europeans in charge of the FIFA World Cup halftime show.
And I'm just going to play this.
So funny.
Oh, she's so funny.
Halftime show.
We need to do something like a big splash because we are in America and we need to do a big splash because America is the land of splash.
So we will do big American icon like Madonna and the Miss Piggy.
And Madonna will come in in a Jeep.
And for some reason,
Ronaldina and Ronaldo will be sitting in front, looking so confused.
And the Mappitts will do Seven Nation Army and the drums.
The Maupits.
It will be a big American.
And then we will have, oh, Justin Bieber perform.
But we do this little game.
We pretend that Justin Bieber never do a performance before.
And he's nervous.
And we have Jason Sudecis because Ted Lassau, big American show, big American show.
It's like a really great summation.
Can I say she has a really great character she does,
which is like Italian person who like works at an airport and you're trying to figure something out?
I'm like customer service Italian and it's so funny.
Go look her up.
She's really great.
Amazing.
I like to tweet from Michael at worst Michael who said,
thinking about the time I chatted with a beautiful woman at a party.
And the next day she messaged me asking if I wanted to get coffee and I said yes.
And when we did, she was like, I'm worried about you and thought you might need a friend.
Oh, no.
Wait, can I actually, I forgot to say the name of the person who posted my.
which was at Made 100K.
Okay.
