Like during, I think it was either October, I think it was September,

I was doing Sneak Timber where I do a different shoe every day. And then I just stopped because I was like, no one cares. And then someone was like, what happened to Sneak Timber? And I was like, damn, I broke the streak for nothing. There's somebody out there living for that.

Yeah. All right. Speaking of shoes, what you got on right now? Oh, you know, I got these plays sent to me by Zeitganger, you know, and I truly appreciate it. They got. Wait, someone in the Zeitgang sent you that? Yeah.

If you were going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment, first we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about. We're just doing a skim. We're hitting on a lot of topics today. We're talking about how MoviePass has continued to lose. That's just like when we're feeling bad, we just go back to a movie past story. Yeah, sorry for beating a dead horse. Beat up on them.

We're going to listen to an Ancestry.com ad or describe it, I guess. Yeah, probably describe it. We don't need to let people under the nightmare that was that terrible. Holy shit. Terrible ad. We're going to talk about a viral video

that was going crazy at the end of last week. Game of Thrones re-releasing the Black Panther soundtrack. We're going to talk about where people are at with the Mueller report and just hit some of the highlights of that and of the responses. We're going to talk about the GOP coming at AOC thinking they wanted the smoke, and turns out they don't. Turns out they have asthma. Yeah. So they do not want the smoke. We're going to talk about Coachella. We're going to talk about the Shellon Challenge. But first, if we would like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's

revealing about who you are? So I went to my search history to look, but then I saw something that blew my, because I don't know how it got there. I don't know where it came from. You don't know how it got there? Yeah, it popped in my reading list, and it has, you know, Document 6 that links to, like, L.A. casting. Makes sense. Then Hardcore Trainer Fat Loss Stack at bodybuilding.com.

Makes sense. Youramazon.com. Makes sense. Your amazon.com. Makes sense. Black tailor dot store collections. Some tracksuit. Makes sense. Okay. So far on brand.

The last one is an X videos and it says Judy hopping on some dick. Judy getting the full Zootopia experience. I don't know where that came from. I don't think this is me, but it's in my phone. It's not only... So you like to get down mobile? I don't know how this ended up in my reading list. But yeah, yeah.

It's in your reading list? It's in my reading list. Give him the conspiracy music. Yeah, I don't know how I got it in there. That full Zootopia experience. Does anybody know what that means? Is that a character? Yeah, Judy What's-Her-Face from Zootopia.

Is it a rabbit? Yeah, I don't know how this is in my phone. Hey, look, man, I'm not trying to, you know, get down how you get down. I'm just trying to imagine if it's like the sloths, if it's like that, so it's just extremely slow motion getting it, or imagine if it's like the really, the sloths, if it's like that. So it's just extremely slow motion getting it. Or like if it's.

If it's like a Ponda, Ponda floor, major laser video style, like off the ladder daggering. I don't know. I'll, I'll look into it tonight for the first time. Okay. And let y'all know. Wait, so how do you suspect that ended up in your history? I think it was probably one of those things where like I was trying to bookmark another video and then it clicked the next one over with judge judy yeah yeah right yeah you know how much i want to get that's so funny because you know danny was on

last week and you know she brought she brought the porn take yeah man i'm glad if i think nerdificent just needs to do a porn episode yeah i know or a porn show yeah or just turn redifficent into pornificent yeah hey i'm good with the titles yeah that's why i do what i do porn in la yeah you know what i mean porn in la or we could just reboot that one show that was on hbo with seymour butts uh where y'all remember that live sex or it was real sex no it was like it was a reality show about his like porn business and it would follow him around and like sometimes you got to see some boobs which is why like young if he was into it but it really was like following like the behind the scenes of like i think i do family business yeah yeah yeah yeah oh whoa. That was just like too real.

Yeah. That was just like, ugh. Sometimes things get a little too real. Yeah. You know what I mean? That was some shit that I watched when I was a kid. Same as Real Sex. Yeah, yeah. It was like, yo, this is on TV.

I can watch it with impunity. You would have been in your 20s when this show came on. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Because it came out in the early 2000s. Real Sex was definitely some shit I watched. Oh, yeah. your 20s when this show came on oh really yeah okay because it came on the early 2000s real sex was oh real sex was like some shit i watched oh yeah when i that taxicab professions were also

put me on to adult things i did not know were possible yeah oh man oh what was that one about like it would show like the it was like something in john's and it was like all the sex workers there was pimps up hoes down yeah that one. Then there was hookers at the point. And then that's the one I followed. I think I followed the whole saga. Yeah, they had a whole, yeah. And really, it was weird because it was probably like a compelling look at sex work. But like Young, if he was like, sometimes they show a silhouette of sex happening.

That's right. And I hate that. That was, yeah, that was like, the pimps up, hoes down was more like about pimp culture and stuff. Yeah. And then there's that one dude, Mr. White Folks. Yeah. Who was the white pimp.

Yeah. Who was just like, you thought he was a character from the Wayans Brothers show? Man, yeah. All that TV. Did you just call him Living Color, the Wayans Brothers show? No, no. I mean like when Marlon and Sean. Oh, the Marlon.

Because there was that character, White Mike. Oh, okay. Wasn't that on Wayans Brothers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have seen way too many. Jack, come on now. Did you watch Wayne's Brothers with Sean and Marlon?

Oh, you just watched In Living Color? Yeah. I'm too old. Oh, man. Well, no, that was like mid-90s. Yeah. Okay, okay.

Or were you on to like, you know, Perry Mason or something? By that time. I was real into In Living Color when I was like 10, 11. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was my shit. I watched it I was like 10, 11. Yeah, yeah. That was my shit.

I watched it all the way to the end. Yeah. So that does not age well at all. They celebrate their anniversary, right? Yeah, yeah. In Living Color did? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like any sketch comedy show isn't going to age well because it's such a, because the nature of sketch comedy because what happened recently was

there was that like kit harriton episode and they had that nerd sketch and a lot of nerds got uh real offended at the depiction of nerds and it's like well the nature of sketch comedy is to have these blown out exaggerated characters like in sketch comedy they are never saying this is what the thing is like you're right that's that is the nature of writing sketch, which made it even more offensive when people were like, I'm a nerd and I can write a better sketch. It was like, no, because you just simply missed the main what sketch is. Right. You are saying you can do something better when you are proving you don't understand the nature of the medium that you're trying to go into. That's just, you know, like like and i think we have youtube to

blame for that because there's a lot of stuff that gets away with being called sketch comedy where it is like more you you have these more subdued characters because people kind of get it but the nature of snl and those type of like live sketches you're playing these blown out characters so anyway but sometimes the humor is from coming from like actual homophobia oh yeah exactly like you couldn't play handyman in the tiny avenger now but that's what i was saying is like the the thing of it is when you're when your whole medium is based off of stereo blown out stereotypes eventually it's just gonna like it's it's already walking that line and then let a few years pass and it's like oh this is just trash this is this is not good plus like i will say i'm not

defending that uh that sketch by the way it was not funny there were no jokes in it the jokes were like what if nerds are nerds right oh really i feel like it's very like a lot of snl and i realize it's more like the older i get is just like the impression that like middle america would have of like mainstream culture yeah so it's like here's what a nerd would be just like they're coming from exactly the middle of the culture like it's like not yeah yeah they don't have a point of view and i feel like that's why they've been able to last that long is like they are just like always trying to find the dead center of the zeitgeist and it's and it, too, because it seems like the ones that everyone celebrates or blows are always the niche ones.

When they do make a niche like that, what was the Tiffany Haddish one where she played like a fighting game character? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was so funny. And it was because it's like such a niche thing that, yeah, this is the one that the middle America isn't going to get. You went with a clear point of view and choice. Yeah.

And it was hilarious. I'm just talking about how characters just rock their bodies. Pretty much. They're not engaged. Oh, it's so good. Some King Vader shit. Yeah, yeah. I love King Vader so much.

Yeah, me too. I know. All right. What is something you think is overrated? Something I think is overrated. I'm trying to mix it up because i feel like i always come to be like people's reaction to this and this and this and because i want to be like yucking people's yums but i swear to god i've probably done that five times by this point uh so i want to say overrated

is you know live tweeting stuff mostly because like i was surprised i'm not into game of thrones but like when i'm on twitter it was interesting that like people were just like live tweeting their experiences and like spoilers as the show was running yeah and i was like man what happened to like the kind of golden rule on spoilers why and also it's like why do you who is this entertaining for because if i'm reading your tweets while watching i'm not giving the show enough attention and you're not giving you're missing shit because you're like tweeting like oh when when so-and-so showed up that had me like and like was that was that really a well thought out tweet like is that gonna hold up the next day after everyone sees it and has time to give full

attention to this silly dumb reaction yeah live live there's an element of egomania with live tweeting, right? Because you're assuming that people want to have a companion feed to the content they're watching. Yeah. They're like, I want this person's commentary the whole time. Yeah. And because sometimes, like, when you look at, like, if you see someone's live stream tweet out of sequence, out of context,

you're like, what the fuck was that tweet? And they're like, uh-oh, okay, I see context. You're like, what the fuck was that tweet? And they're like, uh-oh. Okay, I see. And you're like, what the fuck? It's like reading live tweets as if you only listen to Amigo's song, but it's only the ad libs. No beat.

Yeah, you're like, what's going on here? Jenny Liu. You're like, what? Jenny Liu? What happened? Who's Jenny Liu? But it's funny because I do like live tweeting when people do like old shit that I have seen because then it's like, oh, I don't, I already know the context. No matter what you're like.

Like I love when people are like, I'm watching, you know, Boys in the Hood for the first time. Like that I feel is most successful because everyone has, it's in the zeitgeist. Like you don't need context. But if you're watching like this show that even though a lot of people are watching only a few people are watching and you are also like the risk the reward like yeah you might ruin the show for someone in the hopes that you might make a couple of people chuckle right yeah i mean spoilers i think wasn't it lacy who came on was like fuck people who don't like spoilers yeah yeah i yeah, yeah. I mean, I get it.

That's a very Lacey take, though. I mean, that is a scam goddess. That's her law that she abides by. Lacey is the person who's going to eat a whole ham sandwich from Subway in the middle of a movie, like The Quiet Place, and let the crinkles of your Subway just ruin the movie experience. And she's going to be like, what? If you wanted a quiet movie theater, you should have bought out the whole theater. That is Laceyacy i love her but that's her that's her brand right there with me fuck your spoilers it's not that important i do agree though that that is an underrated thing is when people like actually live tweet a movie that like everybody's oh yeah

like i'm watching jaws for the first time like oh like this yeah yeah i think shelby farrow actually did that exact thing. I love that because it is like this thing that's like so kind of second nature to you because you know it and you're seeing someone really react. Experience it. That is good. I like that. Yeah.

I would keep it up for about an hour. I'd be like, I'm watching Crank 2. And they're like, what the fuck was this? Or like, I'm watching Time Cop. Get ready. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it'd be like in the middle of the night. No one was interacting with it.

But part of me just felt like, I need to get these takes off. Yeah, what if somebody just saved Game of Thrones episode one for they live tweeted it now? People would still like those takes. Yeah, 100%. Or maybe don't live tweet it. Maybe do a Word doc and then workshop your shit and then post it. Oh, my God. A lot of people can use a bit of workshop.

And let me just send it by me. I will copy, edit your shit, and then we'll – no, I'm just joking. All right. What is something you think is underrated? Something I think is underrated right now is The Division 2. Wow. Yeah, I'm coming with the video games today. Do it.

You know, because Ubisoft is a very interesting game publisher in the sense that they, nine times out of ten, are scuffing their releases. Get it wrong. They scuff their release. But the one thing I think, and actually I'm going to reword this, underrated is Ubisoft the company. What? Yeah. I'm going to tell you why. Okay.

Because I've played a lot of games. I mean, I play it so much that I get paid for it. Make sure you hit me with that free Twitch Prime sub on Twitch ifties. But one thing that's kind of frustrating with games is there are a lot of concepts that come out that are cool and they don't do well at first. And then devs will just abandon it. All right, let's go work on the next one. But you're like, no, you had something here. It would be nice if you worked it out.

Ubisoft is a AAA company who are well known for doing that because they have so much money they and they have just this constant release schedule they can do it however ubisoft will listen to the community and fix their game rainbow six siege is in year like four or five right now and it did have a extremely scuff release, lost a lot of users up front. But what they did was they would listen to the users, talk to the community, was very responsive in the Reddit, made all the changes, and then would do these free weekends so people can try it out again, and then people would buy back into it.

And now they have this strong, dedicated community just through doing that. Same thing happened for For Honor. to it and now they have this strong dedicated community just through doing that same thing happened for for honor scuffed listen to the community work work through it and got it right and then uh and and i feel like division two same thing and it there is something where you're like damn why are you scuffing all your releases and i think it's just because you have the i think what we learned from bungie and destiny working with Activision is when you have like a big corporation behind you, they – it's kind of like when any art that's kind of owned by a corporation where there's this like robotic expectation for you to do things quickly but with the same quality with less of a budget right right and that oftentimes will mess things up and then they move on but ubisoft is doing the due diligence of actually making sure it's fixed and keeping the community supported and i think that doesn't get enough

credit because it doesn't happen often. For most other games, yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. There's so many games I've loved that I had to let go because they were like, oh, no, the devs just gave up on this. Yeah. There was a game I was trying to cover while I was at BuzzFeed that was like a VR cooking game. And it was literally one of the only VR cooking games that was like a cooking simulator. And I couldn't get in contact with the devs.

It seemed like they were just completely done with the game and like you know buzzfeed is this huge youtube channel and i was just trying to make a fun goofy video but like i was like that would have been so many eyes on this game and many of the comments when people were like oh this game is tight we're like well the devs abandoned it right well you know my one note to ubisoft is uh why don't you make an assassin's creed game that doesn't feel like every other motherfucking assassin's creed game how about that yeah the specific i can only climb a motherfucking tower and sink the map and then swan dive into a bale of hay so many motherfucking times i'm wondering why did i give you another 60 dollars but that

is a whole other gripe called gamer gripes as a pirate yeah right exactly that as a centurion and then what is it they tease the new one in the division two also i think so uh what the fuck is it vikings yes because like if you look in the theater it's like oh is this a norse god but he's got the little apple you know yeah right anyway yeah you said right like total well guys i could get into my ubisoft observations but it would take us too long. So let's just get to your myth. Yeah. Oh, man. I guess the myth is just because you do.

And I think going into, you know, this next election and next political cycle, just because you say something or do something wrong doesn't mean you are a wrong person. And I just want that X to fill X. So, like, just because you say something racist doesn't mean you are a wrong person and i just want that x to fill x so like just because you say something racist doesn't mean you're racist if you continue to say it right well then if you say something homophobic doesn't mean you're homo because i feel like that's a lot of times where we get a lot of the budge or the pushback is when you say like hey like if if uh you know if uh you're somebody said like oh man uh if you overhear coonan just seeing it on twitter not knowing it's a bad thing i was like oh man that's racist

and instead of being like oh then i won't say that thing people will just be like i'm not racist yeah you're like well hold on that's not the conversation right not so much that you're being like being like hey guys let's leave people who say racist shit alone because they might not be racist you're saying that we yeah that you have to create the space of understanding like there are teachable moments or people don't have to be so entrenched with thinking like because i'm calling this thing this act out yeah yeah this this isn't to the people calling people out this is the people being called out it's like if you're called out on something,

don't rush to be, to be defensive and really like, look at the moment. Like, I feel like everything moves so fast, especially on Twitter. And, and I mean,

that's where most of this shit is happening. And it is like this moment of, because I'm on the spot, I need to defend myself. And we are more concerned about defending ourselves than like really learning and like finding out why someone feels that way. And I try and be better about that, too. Like where it's like if someone's like, oh, this thing you're doing is sexist or is this,

that or the other. I'm like, OK, well, why is that? So I can understand it and not do it. So the lesson you want to teach is take a moment to be self-aware. Yeah. You know, look at what you do. I guess so. Right.

But I guess that is a thing. I think most people aren't willing to have that sort of level of accountability or introspectiveness enough to say like, oh, that's interesting. I can understand that the values or the subtext of this thing is being seen as whatever the issue is, whatever the problematic thing is. It's very hard, especially when you think of people who have big followings on Twitter. You start to believe yourself to be this sort of authority. So if anyone challenges that, you get super defensive. I think one of the best examples is a friend of mine uh ria butcher tweeted out uh you know when don cheeto

was on snl and was like oh this is intersectionality and cat black retweeted and goes this is wrong this is why it's wrong white women have been misusing this and i was like shook because i was like oh man this had this can go wrong very easily if like ria wanted to hop on and do this but she was like you know what i was wrong and I learned in this and this. And she kind of, uh, she, she like retweeted the explanation and, and didn't, you know, didn't fight it. And I think it was a great moment and it was cool too, to, to like see that and like know someone and be like, oh man, I'm, you are a dope person.

We're always learning. We're always learning. Yeah. This is what frustrates me about people being like, I mean, what's the deal with comedy? You can't be funny anymore. You can't be offensive. You can't push the envelope.

No one who has ever been funny has ever said that. Everyone who's said that has either been some weirdo in a cap on Twitter or somebody who I've never seen make a crowd laugh in comedy. Right. But even Jerry Seinfeld was like, you can't go to college campuses anymore. You can't do this.

You can't do that. I said what I said, Jack. They're not laughing. They're laughing at the fact that they get to be in a room with Jerry Seinfeld. Right, right. But I do think that's a really good point. You can either view this period of people pointing out

when you're saying something that's not true or that like violates the reality of their community. You can view that as an opportunity to like grow and learn or you can view it as an opportunity. It's like all about how you react to it. I think people assume that once you're called out, you know, sometimes that that's just the end of the conversation. you know sometimes that that's just the end of the conversation that yeah should be the the start of the conversation yeah the the more you're called out the more you have opportunities to learn so yeah yeah i think people view it as like twitter's toxic because it's just call out culture and it's like it doesn't call out culture doesn't need to be toxic well there's levels to it i mean there is some just yeah people who love to just call shit out and they leave it there or whatever but i think i think the biggest thing is hey, everyone, we can actually learn from each other.

Or at least take the time to at least understand what the person, if they're coming at you in good faith, that's something that they're trying to do. Absolutely. Because sometimes people are just mad aggressive with it. Well, that's something I've been saying. I even kind of mentioned on the Culture Kings I did where, like, wokeness is commodified now. So with me, it's even hard to see all these people be woke. It's especially hard to see like, you know, these like white woke talking heads calling

out other white people because like I didn't forget when Trayvon Martin happened. It wasn't this huge resounding people behind me. I was getting in arguments with my peers because I had to convince them this wasn't this huge resounding people behind me. I was getting in arguments with my peers because I had to convince them. This wasn't a, a, a random occurrence or a, a just some like it, it was not this army of woke soldiers back when Trayvon Martin happened.

That's just a fact. I remember that. So it is always kind of like, you know, rough for me to see like all these people like be these woke talking heads but then on top of that you have people who are they're they're like what they're known for and they're like claim to fame on twitter is being woke so they they don't know how to create any other content like you know as comedians our content is just being funny but if your content

is like if you blew up twitter followers because you're constantly calling out people then that's all that's your content so if you have nothing to be mad about then there comes a point where you just start fucking making bullshit up or being pedantic or being like very nitpicky because that's the only type of content you know to make that's what you know where people i you know i seen it even in the Rhea situation where there's people after she apologized and kind of said she's using it as a learning – just trying to like dig at her and like still pick at her to see if she'll – because that's the thing is like there's an element to it where it's like, okay, yeah, you apologized. But let me see if I can pick at you to make you do something unawoke let me see if i can poke you enough to get you frustrated and show you flash and be like haha see you're not as woke as i as you say you are because now you're mad at me even though you were in the wrong it's like it's weird and it's weird to like sit back and watch this yeah because it's insincere people sometimes people's aims are completely insincere yeah so it turns into that yeah but it's the but

that's the thing where it's like i think a lot of good comes from it and i'm not anti because i i get so tired when people try and make this argument against being like woke because of this where it's like no to me it's better to have like a few assholes to deal with if everyone's trying to be better than to everyone shut up and let supremacy reign you know like yeah yeah get out of here all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back.

And guys, MoviePass has lost 90% of its users. No. It's gone from 3 million down to 225,000. Those are not good numbers in the world of capitalism, I am told. Yeah. I mean, I don't think a 90% decrease is good ever. Yeah. Unless it's like racism. Right.

Yeah, yeah. You don't want to be like, oh, I lost 90% of my weight. Right. Yeah, that's too much. That's too much. I lost 90% of my hair. You went way too far. Or some shit like that, you know?

But I mean like, you know, so. Not speaking from personal. Nah, nah. I'm holding on to a good 40%. some shit like that you know but i mean like you know so not speaking from personal nah nah i'm holding on to a good 40 but i think a lot of people look at just how over and over we've covered the movie pass saga repeatedly how there's been misstep after misstep and you know unfortunately movie pass just had to be that first one to stick their head out get blown up so the rest may understand how to do it right because i think uh you know the amc one is

thriving uh and there's another company too that's doing their movie pass version that isn't as like it's not a too good to be true offer which is what movie pass was right 995 see whatever you want as many times as you want that 225 000 people i'm interested like who are they are like what is their average demographic a A lot of listeners. Oh, really? Yeah, because people send me photos of their movie pass cards. I'm like, hey, hold on to that shit. I know.

That feels like that's going to be a thing that, like, 30 years from now is going to be worth money. To, like, very nerdy people like me who would be like, oh, cool. OG nerd, that movie pass card. At least a cool thing to have left over, like an old Blockbuster video that you never returned. You're like, aha. Yeah, gotcha. Even though nobody has VCRs anymore. I have Mr. Baseball from a Blockbuster video, yes. And I have an old card when it just used to be a laminated piece of paper.

What if in like 20 years they just come for all of us? Oh, yeah, just a large suit this has been outstanding i i rented a dvd of uh i think it was sahara yeah and i forgot to return that shit i moved and that shit went into collections and fucked my credit up really back in the day wow like right after high school so blockbuster will fuck the shit up sahara and i was like what the fuck fucking over sahara yeah worth it we need that yeah those of us who have seen sahara know that it was worth oh yeah yeah uh no you know all right miles let's talk about this ancestry.com commercial that you showed me yesterday did you see it i i i did not see it. I saw the Desus Nice tweet about it.

Oh, yeah. Desus really said, oh, we're taking it there. Okay, so for those of you who don't know, there was an Ancestry.com commercial that just got flamed and lambasted. Essentially showing- This call-out culture that I'm talking about, man, that we just need to, no. It's just a, OK, just picture this. It's a couple that's clearly an interracial couple from I'm guessing the antebellum period where a black woman and a white man find each other like they sneak up on each other in this back alley. And he's like, please. He's like, I love you.

He's like, will you come with me? We can be together. And she's like, what? And he puts out a ring to her and she's like we can escape to the north there's a place we can be together across the border shout out canada um and then says will you leave with me and then the shit comes up it's like like the ancestry.com like know your story so they're essentially i mean this thing the whole depiction is fucked up on so many levels a to even assume that if this woman is in fact a slave oh she's just walking around town by herself and then this dude's like hey let's let's get the fuck out of here right

and not even like showing the true power dynamic of slavery which happens all like i mean the way even uh with fucking thomas jefferson right you know and people get so they want to really romanticize the whole sally hemming shit yeah uh is another just example of like this weird way we've romanticized this like master and slave romantic relationship um and this is very very fucked up um especially for like when you look at the relationships that were occurring between whites and black slaves back then they were not romantic right okay yeah and like even personally like during reconstruction my great-grandmother's grandmother she was raped by a white man yeah they were not romantic. Right. Okay? Yeah. And, like, even personally, like, during Reconstruction, my great-grandmother's grandmother, she was raped by a white man.

Yeah. And that began the light-skinnedness on my paternal mother's side. Right. And those are the kinds of shit that, like, a lot of people of color, like, don't bring up, like, you know, our antebellum slash, you know, post-Reconstruction era interracial, like,'t turn slavery into a romance yeah and it's just very very fucking weird and then you wonder like again who was at that ad agency because i'm telling you not a single person of color or somebody who has no historical context ben carson he's like i don't see what's wrong yeah i put this

together so yeah he's like and there's the see what's wrong. I put this together so I can see it. He's like, and there's the white savior. You have everything in this. You have everything in there. So Ancestry was basically just saying, Ancestry is committed to telling important stories from history. This story ain't important. This ad was intended to represent one of those stories. We very much appreciate the feedback we have received

and apologize for any offense that the ad may have caused. We are in the process of pulling the ad from television and we have removed it from YouTube. How about you actually demonstrate your understanding of how fucked up this is by giving people a breakdown of what these kinds of relationships were actually like historically. So you're not just being like, oh, shit. Right.

Love the feedback. Love the feedback. The feedback? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I love when people get roasted and they're like, the feedback the feedback yeah yeah that's what i love when people get roasted and they're like the feedback right so yeah now now they have to do a full like game of thrones-esque production and then just beat for beat one of the many rape scenes yeah thrones right and like yeah

that feels like something a dumb ass ad company would do is like this is what y'all wanted right yeah get out of here yeah little dicky was the number one thing trending on friday uh which is i don't know this just felt like a throwback to a previous time when like videos like youtube videos still went viral yeah he put out 2011 yeah yeah exactly yeah uh he put out a video that was just celebrity cameo porn. Yeah. It felt like a Pixar PSA. Yeah, that's right.

But with adult themes. Right. Because he's talking about dicks and buttholes and things like that. Yeah. And they even used Kanye West as a punchline. So I'm all here for it. Dish. I mean, it's like seven minutes long.

Yeah. It's worth watching. It's one of those ones you definitely, I don't think I'm going to watch again. Right. It was enough for me to be like. You don't want to see all the nuances? Sure, of Ariana Grande as a zebra. You pointed out that they put the foundation that all the charity is going to after the credits.

They might have wanted to put that before the credits. At the end, Lil Dicky's like, we have a crisis on Earth. We only have 12 years to cut in half our carbon emissions or something could terribly go wrong. That's after all the part people have already checked out. Right. Little Dicky, lead with that. Lead with it. Lead with it.

Rock with it. I mean, can we not trust Little Dicky anymore to do what's right? What's happened to this world? Lost another leader. And then Game of Thrones dropped an attempt at a pop soundtrack. Yeah.

We've talked about the endless byproducts of this Game of Thrones final season, and they've put out albums before. And they finally put out one of the singles that had you know when you just think about it the the personnel on this sZA the weekend Travis Scott okay I'm interested uh and you know I you know major label weekend isn't my favorite iteration of him as an artist but you know he he he can he can swing and hit hit the ball

out of the park sometimes but this one for me it's a bit of a miss my man uh and just listen to the beginning because the lyrics i mean look if you didn't if you didn't know this is a game of thrones song you'll know by these just first couple lines from the weekend i was born of the ice and snow oh okay oh like a Game of Thrones character. Oh, okay, with the winter wolves. Yeah, okay. Okay. Wait, was that the Black Panther soundtrack?

Oh, no, but I understand why you think that. So later on, before SZA's verse comes in, the beat switches up a little bit, and, I mean, the beat goes. Listen to this part. Watch me burn it down. Oh, shit. Okay, so I think this is about to come through, huh? Now, that might, like you said, Jack,

that sounds a bit familiar to you, right? Because let's listen to Pray For Me, the song from the Black Panther soundtrack featuring The Weeknd. Uh, because let's listen to Pray For Me, the song from the Black Panther soundtrack featuring The Weeknd. Oh, wait, what? Yeah. This is a different track?

Oh, this is a different song. This is by a different... Different production team, too. I mean, the only common denominator here is The Weeknd. Huh. Whatever, you know, look. Huh. That's what these soundtrack songs are

like man yeah uh although shout out to uh house of balloons though what a great mixtape we were just revisiting that this this morning yeah old weekend morning old weekend was old broke horny weekend when he came out and like you couldn't even find a picture of him, they were hiding his face. I was like, what is this, a band? What is a weekend? And that album was great. What is this, a band? What is this?

Soulful drug music. They misspelled the weekend. Soulful drug music is exactly right. Yeah. Oh, my God. I forget on what podcast I was talking about this, but the first time I heard Hi For This, I was single, and I never wanted to be in a relationship more than when that song came out.

Because I just wanted to be like, I want to be high for this. You don't know what's in store. I picture myself slow dancing with somebody at a show. It was, yo, I was lonely for a little bit. Yeah, I know. Shout out to Her Majesty for bringing me out the shadows. She's really your Bella Hadid. She's my Bella Hadid.

Yeah, exactly. Or whatever Hadid brought. Whichever one. Yeah. All right, guys. The Mueller Report has been out for days upon days now. I don't know. I mean, does that count as out?

Because you can't see shit yeah there's good stuff in there there's some stuff there's some good stuff yeah everything i saw was the blacked out stuff i couldn't get to the meat well that's the i mean that's the that's the t we want really right why is it behind there the house democrats are trying to get that way they're like subpoenaing the subpoenaing the full version so we'll see about that but uh just a couple takes from the right that i found pretty interesting you know given like so the the right just chose i guess a lot of people on the right just chose not to read the report or listen to anybody who like did read the report they only listened to the william bar press conference yeah the william bar press conference the quotes that he took completely out of context uh so jack

posabiak i like that yeah posabiak yeah jack poseidon's dick yeah jack poseidon's dick tweeted right after the motorport i will say i will say this it takes a lot to get me to double over and cry out in pain these days. But this did it. The tweet read, just realized Barr is saying this man committed no crime and the media is chanting crucify him, crucify him. And tomorrow is Good Friday. Can you imagine like that is a tweet that had a few drafts and he probably tweeted it, put his phone down, slammed it and was like, that's it. Done. Trump is Jesus Christ.

And the media are the Jews? I mean, he's been saying that before that tweet. You got the second level, Miles. I know. That's what I'm like. You got the second level. Yo, Jack, Pasabi, Pasobi, fall the fuck back, my man that uh but again he knows what he's doing yeah uh the new york post's headline just was a picture of trump said the muller report trump clean no

crimes committed dem hoax destroyed um just because you put the fucking cover out does not make that shit true because there's somebody telling that yeah also shout out to all the yemeni bodega owners in new york who have boycotted the new york post yeah just shout out to them in general for anybody who's fucking with the new york post that's yeah yeah there's just i mean again i think when they just hold on to the the spin of william barr they can only operate in that world because the text of the report betrays all of that. Right. You know, it's all there's just it's it's all this darkness. Yeah.

So what we're able to see of the text, the New York Times has read through. I think they did a pretty good job of like pulling out the things that I found to be the most interesting questions or points from like the summaries that I've seen. And you can also go to a very special episode of Behind the Bastards on which Robert Evans spent the first 24 hours of the Mueller report being out reading the entire thing word for word and taking 30 pages of notes. And he had Miles and I on to discuss it it so if you want our super detailed takes on the muller report you can hear them there on a first rate podcast but yes uh but here on the second rate podcast we're just going to go through the new york times conclusions uh because our new podcast dude's reading from laptops but so these are the big points that i took away first if there's no collusion no obstruction why so many? And then they quote a portion of the report

that just kind of points to, you know, how they justified Comey's termination and why it was just full of lies and all over the place. And they're like, yeah, like, you know, it seems like there was a lot of lies going on, but he couldn't find evidence for the initial crime that he was investigating. So, I mean, that just kind of goes back to my initial read of this,

which is, okay, we know they obstructed the fuck out of justice, and we know they obstructed the fuck out of this investigation, and the investigation wasn't able to find crimes. Does that mean no crimes happened? Well, no. That's not true. It's not that they couldn't find crimes. The obstruction things were things that Mueller was very clear that he cannot even, he can't even draw a conclusion or suggest there was a crime because of the nature of the guidelines of DOJ. I'm sorry. Yeah. So he very well did in an obstruction terms. Yes. I think it's the collusion part, which is why there was so much obstruction and lying because they couldn't get to that part. And I think that is the, which was a big claim of the Steele dossier.

So, you know, the New York Times is basically saying that's one part of the Steele dossier that we've not been able to find any evidence for and that probably was not accurate. But one thing that that we did see mention of in the Mueller report was the tapes. Damn. The pee pee tapes. The fucking pee tapes are real? Maybe. Yeah. So the report in a footnote refers to a text Michael Cohen received from a Russian businessman

that said, stopped flow of tapes from Russia, but not sure if there's anything else. Just so you know. Stop the flow of tapes. Stop the flow of tapes. So Mueller, you know, saw evidence that there were tapes from Russia that were trying to be covered up during the election. And as they put in here, right, in the Steele dossier, they said that the tapes, the P-tape happened around the time of the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. And then in that footnote, they go on to say that the tapes referred to compromising tapes of Trump rumored to be held by persons associated with the Russian real estate conglomerate Krakus Group, which had helped host the 2013 Miss Universe contest in Russia.

Right. So it's basically what everybody said was going on. But they say that Russian who texted him said he was told the tapes were fake, but he did not communicate that to Cohen. So I wonder if that would be weird if they know that Donald Trump is into some shit like that and then they said oh we got tapes and they could just say that and he would be like oh shit and they could be fake

he was just like oh no I'm fucked yeah I'm fucked which is basically there's a voice inside his head that's constantly saying oh shit what if they find out what if they find out I'm fucked what if they find out another bizarre spin that we saw from republicans when they talked a lot of people were like what about this line when he's describing when he said oh my god this is

terrible i'm fucked right uh i forget who some republicans like oh he was referring to the fact that he now realized that a deep state coup attempt had now been initiated against him and that's what he was that's what he was reacting to. Oh, yeah, that's completely normal and believable. Yes. It's B613, I'm telling you. They did not establish, like BuzzFeed had claimed in that report months ago where people were like, well, they're just smoking gun.

They did not establish in the Mueller report that Trump told Michael Cohen to lie. They just found that Trump's lawyers massaged his testimony. And then, you know, Michael Cohen obviously said that Trump told him in terms that Trump tells you to lie, but he didn't say go out there and lie. There's a lot of like technicalities where it's like, yes, if you read between the lines, he told him to lie, but you can't legally just read between the lines. But on the other hand, Mueller just suggests a pattern of behavior by Trump to just attack the investigation, to harm the investigation, make sure that they couldn't accurately investigate the facts. So that's basically where I'm at with it.

It's like he obstructed justice it's a matter of whether it is politically expedient for democrats to pursue that or not um seems to be the only question at this point um yeah i mean stenny hoyer came out and was like uh we got an election coming up soon yeah so we'll let the people decide and i don't i mean did you all see that last one yeah yeah did you see what happened when you first let the people decide right and then i mean and are they assuming that they're going to hold power in congress like like what would you do if trump is re-elected and then the the house almost becomes like a dead even or maybe you narrowly hold on to the house Right. Like what happens then?

Yeah. Anyway. But kind of the big point that suggests that Mueller would even like to see Congress continue to pursue this is that Mueller says obstruction laws apply to presidents who use their executive powers corruptly. So. Yeah. And guess who's the check on that? Yeah.

A little balance of power. Yeah. Congress. I mean, corruptly so yeah guess who's the check on that little balance of power yeah congress i mean he specifically and explicitly states that this is on congress now yeah so yeah whatever i mean look again if if you were all in on russia you know um you can continue to not really know right right we just don't know uh but there's plenty that we do know that is enough to to motivate everybody to fucking drag everybody you know by the fucking neck to the polls to make sure they vote at the very least. Yeah.

Specifically, a quote from the Mueller report. The conclusion that Congress may apply obstruction laws to the president's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law. That is in the Mueller report. So? What's even the Constitution, bruh? Right. So, I mean, he's, yeah. So we know where Mueller stands.

I've seen National Treasure. It'll be interesting to have him. Yeah, that's true. National Treasure. What is the National Treasure of it all, though? Yeah, exactly. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them. Why is that? Just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch.

She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And let's talk briefly about, you know, AOC's been dunking on Republicans just nonstop. Fucking highlight film. And the Republicans tried to dunk back. Yeah. And it did not go well. I'm sure people saw that video, right, when AOC was saying that the Green New Deal or the issue of environmental protection and policy is not something limited to just rich liberals

who live in New York or California. Right. And when she went on there, oh, man, Andy Barr, a congressman from Kentucky, tried to come back with bars. Quick-witted, and he said, oh, okay, so how about this, Alexandria? How about you come to Kentucky and talk to the coal miners in my district and convince them that coal is on the way out and that this is a good deal for them?

To which she said, okay, I would love to talk to them. Because I can actually explain to them that the Green New Deal has explicit funding to try, or not explicit funding, but part of the Green New Deal is to help people who are working in the fossil fuel industry to train them and get them into jobs for different energy sources. So there's no shock of losing the job because the energy sources are changing. And then they're like, boy. so there's no shock of losing the job because the energy sources are changing right and then they're like boy so that did not go over well because i think a lot of people realize when she's in a room she has a way of speaking that can cut directly through the bullshit and go straight into your brain right and you're like whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah my eyes are opening up

so uh he had to find a way to try and blow up the invitation so what he did was try and hang on to this disagreement when the whole ilhan omar uh the 9-11 comments fiasco was going down uh there was a dan crenshaw the congressperson who has the eye patch who you know pete davison they squash the beef that guy he had a he had a tweet where he was just saying like he was completely mischaracterizing ilhan Omar's comments. And his tweet was, first member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9-11 as, quote, some people who did something. Unbelievable. Then Alexandria Ocasio clapped back. She said, you refuse to co-sponsor the 9-11 victims compensation fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan with completely out of context quotes.

In 2018, right wing extremists were behind almost all U.S. domestic terrorist killings. Why don't you do something about that? So that's when Mr. Barr was like, oh, you need to be. He's like, this is so uncivilized. I don't know if you should even be coming to Kentucky, to which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's team said, luckily, Kentucky has open borders. If we decided to go to Kentucky to visit with coal miners, which we certainly hope to,

and talk about the opportunities that can be brought to the rural South, we'll be excited to do so. So he said, fuck your invitation, fam. I can pull up wherever the fuck I want to. And so now another Kentucky congressman, James Comer, he's kind of smart because he kind of sees what her power is. He said, look, AOC is a lot more prepared when she comes to committee meetings. She is smart.

And I think that we need to be very prepared when we debate her on issues that we're having a hard time with. There's still a future for Cole, but we need to make sure that we're debating the right people on that issue. Subtext, yo, she's too smart for us. Right. We can't. We do. Yo, we don't.

You don't want that smoke. You don't want the smoke from the smokestack. Did he put that out as like a tweet or was that like a statement he made behind closed doors? No, he said it like in a like a radio interview about her. And, you know, he's very correct because really the logic that all the all republicans have is their end game is just to suck out all the resources from the government privatize everything and then pull up the ladder when the masses are like what

the fuck just happened yeah and they're like yoink sorry it's a kleptocracy baby and we already got we already sucked the fucking thing dry and y'all have the fucking bill. So at that point, you know, look, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she's going to go to Kentucky. She's ready to do it. So I don't know how they're going to deal with that. But another thing to note is Andy Barr, who was like, oh, why don't you talk to the coal miners in my district? There's no coal mines in his district even. So that was just all rhetorical bullshit.

Yeah. Oh, man. Wow. Crushing it. They just chest pass you the ball like, oh, come to my district. And she just stopped it with the force. Yeah, that's right. And just crushed the basketball, turned it to a diamond.

And just shoved it up his ass. Yeah, however you want to do it. Yeah. So, guys, don't debate people who are actually up on the facts. It's just that, again, like we were saying last week, she's not following the same pattern of talking or rhetoric that most politicians use on the left and the right, which is just sort of like these superficial boilerplate responses to things. She's just being like, I'm going to speak directly to the thing you're talking about. Right. And then you're like, oh, fuck.

Yeah. I don't have actual facts that back up my lame shit of just destroying the environment or mountaintop removal or whatever right yeah she's a true believer man she just believes everything she's saying and thinks that you know her system of beliefs has the right answers so she's able to just a tip for the republicans you know why don't you think up some policy that objectively makes sense right and then you might have a chance and you know talking to other people with differing opinions all right speaking of women who know their worth and power beyonce

her documentary has continued to ripple across america and the zeitgeist. I'm shooketh. But another video that has come out fairly recently is Ariana Grande's show from last week, which was kind of a complete fucking disaster. Yeah, so she, you know, look, it's not all on her. It's not on her. She was definitely having monitor problems. Her in-ear monitors clearly went out. And apparently, too, Lizzo was having tech issues, too. Yeah, I heard Lizzo from Weekend One and apparently too lizzo was having tech issues yeah i heard lizzo's uh from weekend one they were having gnarly tech issues i've been to coachella once and i went week one and outcast show was a disaster because they like couldn't hear themselves

nobody could hear them it was yeah oh you went in 2014 yeah and then i went weekend two and then weekend two it was dope i fucking missed it was dope. I fucking missed it. I'm so pissed. So this happens. Coachella, for getting great talent there, doesn't have their shit together on sound. I was absolutely waved during their set. And when Spodiotti Dopolis came on, my clothes just vanished.

I don't know what happened. I still have an ongoing court case with the Indio. But anyway, back to the Coachella. I just want to play this, not to, you know, drag Ariana,

but just to kind of give you an idea about what we're trying to talk about. So this, this is Ariana from her set. This is her and Nicki Minaj trying she's like I can't hear anything but Nikki's kind of nailing it right yeah well she's a show woman pushed right through I mean but I feel like that's gonna go to our general point that we're about to make. Yeah, so Ariana Grande was paid $8 million to do Coachella this year. That's not bad.

$8 million to do that. And again, for those of you who haven't seen Beyonce's Homecoming or don't know about what that moment was about, put that in your brain. And then buckle your seatbelts and call your priest because I'm going to tell you something. Beyonce made $4 million for her performance. And here's the thing. I feel like even Ariana would be offended by that. I don't think there's a world in where Ariana thinks she's worth more than Beyonce. Yeah, I don't think so.

I want to know who did that. I want to talk to someone. That's why I'm not mad at Ariana Grande. Yeah, I don't think so. I want to know who did that. I want to talk to someone. That's why I'm not mad at Ariana Grande. Yeah. I'm not mad. I don't know who it is. And then come talk to me. Is it the agents?

Is it the management who didn't negotiate properly? Yeah, I would need to know more because- Yeah, wasn't there a rumor you were kind of talking about before we started recording? What's that? About owning the rights? Right, yeah, that there might be something with recording what's that owning the rights right yeah that there might be something with you know beyonce wanted to retain all the rights so that she could then make a ton of money off of the netflix documentary without anybody from coachella

owning shit and maybe ariana was just like i'll just get this money take it yeah well yeah she was like i don't know it's not gonna be shit it's i mean Your sound system sucks. Yeah. Look, Ariana Grande is an amazing vocalist, so I can't really take anything away from her as a performer. I'm hoping that I'm sure Beyonce was probably playing the long game with probably owning outright every single piece of content that came from that show so she can actually give it another life in sales. Because clearly, who knows what that Netflix bag exactly looked like. I'm sure it was heavy.

But anyway, watch Homecoming. Yeah. Should we check in with the youth? Should we check in with the youth? Let's see what the youth are up to. Yeah, yeah. What are the youths?

All right. Quick check in with the youth, them. To kids, eating a sandwich through a plastic bag may seem like fun for the Shell On Challenge, but doctors are warning children and their parents.

This teen from Arizona is taking a bite out of a plastic bag with carrots in it and then swallowing it. It's the latest potentially dangerous challenge young people are posting to social media, mostly Snapchat. It's called the Shell On Challenge and it involves everything from taking a bite out of an unpeeled banana or lemon to eating food with a plastic wrapping or cardboard packaging. Dude is biting a box of cereal like a fucking goat. That's the newest challenge on Snapchat with the kids now.

The Shell On Challenge. I get it, guys. I get it. I mean, that looks amazing. I do remember somebody telling telling me oh you know the i think it was juicy fruit the uh gum maybe not juicy fruit i think it's a fruit stripe fruit fruit stripe gum has wrapper people were like yo you can chew the wrapper and so i did like i've done that i've chewed the venue yeah you can chew the wrapper on uh fruit stripe gum and it's still terrible uh fruit stripe gum keeps its favor flavor for 15 seconds oh yeah those are those

are a solid 15 seconds yeah the way to eat them is like every 15 seconds pop in a new one yeah you know what after home alone too i used to tip people with fruit stripe gum just like kevin mccallister did to rob schneider yeah remember you gotta eat this shit sean spicer style and just eat the entire pack swallow it down just like big league chew yeah yeah uh yeah well anyways like i i get it i get the appeal there's like a kid like eating a banana just with the peel and it's what when i was a kid i had that thought i was like yo what if i just like yeah just being stupid this yeah exactly. The funny thing to me is the ones who are like full on just being like, I'm going to digest a plastic bag. Yeah, that's not good. And that's when the doctor's like, that could block your airway.

Yeah, please don't do that. Yeah, no, also like I'm going to put my geezer hat on for a second. Okay. But, you know, like as much as we can dunk on them and be like, kids are dumb. I mean, we did this, but we at least got money for it. Like, we'd be like, hey, I pay you to eat that cereal box for 20 bucks. And you know what? I was shitting out a cereal box, but I also had 20 bucks.

Yeah, now you're doing it for followers? Yeah. What? What's the dumbest shit you did for money? Like, as a kid, where someone was like, yo, I dare you to do this shit. Ooh. I smoked a bunch of bugs. You smoked bugs? Yeah. I smoked a spider out bugs you smoked bugs?

yeah I smoked a spider out of a bong huh I'm proud of it cause I love my spiders but I remember they're like man you know how to smoke that I'm like give me that motherfucking dead spider smoked that shit I don't think I have one in memory but I definitely didn't smoke a bug

that explains a lot though man Dan take this out I don't think I have one in memory, but it definitely didn't smoke a bug. Yeah, I don't know. Well, look. That explains a lot, though, man. Dan, take this out. No, leave it. No, you better leave this shit here. Yeah, leave that shit. Add that to my mythos. Not good.

Yeah. You know, it was like half burnt hair kind of flavor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's like biological matter. Yeah, because we've all smoked burnt hair. So we get it. I mean, look, I've done wilder shit. Or like, you know, the lighter. You don Because we've all smoked burnt hair. So we get. I mean, look, I've done wilder shit. Or like, you know, the lighter,

you don't need to burn your leg hair up. Yeah, no, no, no. When I first got into weed, I got, I didn't like, I fucking couldn't find, like I didn't have joint papers or anything. So like I rolled a joint in computer paper. Oh.

And yeah, and like, I remember I went to school and I told someone, they were like, don't do that. Right. Yo, you gotta use- Don't burn, your lungs are still scarred from that. Hey, this is sacrilegious, but the notes-

Bible paper. The notes, blank, the blank sheets in the Bible, bro. Oh, you should have seen me. Or the ones with, from Revelations, which isn't really that good a book. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm mostly, if I have to smoke scripture, it's going to come out of Philemon. Did you ever see those kids who would take gum wrapper and scrape the foil off? It was like, I'll use this to roll a joint.

But it's like the tiniest piece of paper. You know what's even worse? What? Freebasing off that shit. You would take the fucking wrapper, you burn the paper off so you just get the foil then chase the dragon off that piece of foil all right later oh my god uh learning a lot about this is what you do and these are called hacks no right i know right every yeah everything we just described was worse than eating a plashing bag with care right so you know what kids you're doing all right. Yeah, seriously. I mean...

Don't be chasing the dragon at the bus stop. And the thing that they're doing that is really worthwhile to them is they're, by getting the shit out into the local news atmosphere, they're making their parents die a little bit sooner from just worry and concern and just like... Imagine what's going to be popping.

All that small angerism. Like what the wave is going to be when your kids are of idiot age. bit sooner from just worry and concern and just like imagine what's gonna be popping small angerism like what the wave is gonna be when your kids are of idiot age oh man i can't imagine yeah it's probably virtual reality drugs you know virtual drugs jack me in man i want to do another Man we're so out of touch Kids these days I'll tell you what Ify It's been a pleasure having you man How's your daughter by the way?
