Yeah, a naturally hairless centaur would you be but yeah did you be put off by a smooth i don't know if i'm i don't know if i'm like it's gotta have hair if it's a centaur yeah i don't think i do hair i guess i i guess i like would a horse would a hairless horse look that much different other than color it would be like a pink oh yeah no think of how shitty a hairless dog looks.

Well, dogs don't have their hair pressed against their skin the way a horse does. The horse is not working with that much hair. My hair is pressed against their skin. No, when I cuddle them. When I cuddle them. Actually, hairless horses, they just kind of look pink.

Yeah, they're just pink horses. Oh, alright. That's what the Chapel Run song is about. The Pink Pony Club. I love that song. God, I'm so good with learning a song and then finding a way to stick it into my conversation. There it is. You've done it.

Yeah. Blake, we are unfortunately going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. We are unfortunately out of time. Thank you for being here. Thank you. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of the things we're talking about today. We're going to talk about Flagstock.

Ever heard of it? No. Yeah, that's right. Oh, you haven't? Nah. What is it? Is this a thing on the right? I had not heard of it until you put it in the doc.

Oh, no, it is. It is. It is. Sounds like it. It was a big deal. And it was an even bigger deal when it happened. That's why we got to talk about it. Yeah. It was like the beginning of Groove is in the Heart, except without the up part.

It just went. And that's made now. Yeah, none of the. Wow. Is that such a dated reference now? Groove is in the Heart. Oh, yeah. I don't think it was ever of the wow is that a such a dated reference now groove is oh yeah i don't think it was ever of the times do you hear that groove is in the heart reference i don't know what the fuck he was cool yeah we're gonna talk about jesse waters like working on his standup material and sticking with a joke that like doesn't work, but he doesn't have like his only audience is producers who are like our show, giving him polite laughter. So he's just, yeah. And I know a thing or two about this. So he's just riding with his joke about his observation. This is his observational comedy routine about how straws

aren't manly. And neither is soup. Did you see that part at the end of the clip? He also talks about... I went deep on this, man. On water theory? Yeah, water straw theory. Is that why you were eating soup with a fork

earlier? Yeah. I chug it. I put it in a beer bong. It's just a funnel. It comes out so slow. One of those helmets to get the podcast. By the way, now that there will be a video component to this show,

we will be incorporating other genres of YouTube videos, such as mukbang. I'll be chugging soup. Okay. Great. Yeah. Great. We won't really be talking about it but i'm gonna bring it up right here have you noticed that the mainstream media has started there uh-oh here comes trump like without really any polling evidence but more like if you look at where he was in the polls before like just you know anything to make it seem like it's close i mean you know the one thing they could just be like is like who cares about the polls because they sometimes they're really off like rather than like faking like here he comes he's

like i don't know the the poll said a lot of stuff over the years that didn't come true but hey who knows the people working on the harris campaign seem like they are maybe bad at their jobs. I think that's probably the story to be telling right now. This is an inept campaign being run against Donald Trump. And so we all still might be totally fucked. Anyways, that's not from a story we'll be talking about. That's just from what's happening. Spirit Halloween has revealed a couple of costumes that

we want to talk about. Skibbity Toilet, Chipotle something or other. Random Chipotle bodysuits. And we will of course say R.I.P. for now to Havana Syndrome. No.

No. No, not you too. Did they hide the cannons? Did they get rid of the cannon did they find them the sound the sound cannons uh they still still no sound cannons blake so this is i don't even know why i do this show jack i don't know you just getting news like get there for the day that they finally discover the sound cannons yeah whatever we're not talking about ai we're not talking about havana syndrome we're not talking about ai we're not talking about havana syndrome we're not talking about the coal gas study do we even have a fucking show anymore so what are we talking about i don't know hey that's up to you this is the part

where we just lean on your ass the fucking magic yeah well by asking you this is the part where we lean on your ample ample base uh by asking you what is something blake wexler from your search history so i what if i thought this was helpful for the video is that not good have you ever seen an old guy like in a photograph do that do the rock on like i've seen old guys i think it's like a some sort of like fraternity thing uh oh that's what the freemasons of pasadena what we do yeah it does feel like a mason thing yeah like sir chistory what's going on yeah well you already asked that but yeah uh i will answer it now i will now answer it i was looking up blue light and for my glass for glasses because as we discussed last time i'm

sure you know a lot of people have been covering you've been following uh play by play on what's going on with my glasses i got them fixed but i need new lenses and i'm like should i pay for blue light that was the the search should I pay for blue light protection on glasses? Blue blockers. Blue blockers is what they're called. Yeah. Yeah. Not to be confused with beta blockers,

which is what us alphas do. Out at the bar. To keep, yeah, smaller men away from our women. So do you need them the answer is like uh everything it seems like i look up inconclusive the american ophthalmology association or something 98 similar to what i just said says there's no proof that they help because there's no necessarily uh there isn't necessarily proof that they the blue light causes strain on like a sort of strain on your eyes that the lenses can help with but the article did also recommend i think it's like a 2020 20 rule or something where every 20 minutes

you're staring at your laptop or screen look away and stare at like something 20 feet away for 20 seconds was what the rule was which helps your eyes kind of reset and take the strain i'm inside of a closet and i yeah you're not gonna there's nothing 20 feet away that i could look at that isn't a screen at this point okay helpful for all those workers working out in a cornfield somewhere on a platform. Yeah, that was from suburbanremoteworkers.net is where I got that news story from. But that was my search. So I think I'm just not going to pay for it. I'm going to be cheap and go blind.

I've definitely heard the wellness thing about blue light being something that keeps us up at night. Sleep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's what i thought you were talking about but you were just talking about having your eyes strained having them like worn out correct the sleep thing i do believe everyone's on the same page saying it's bad to look at blue light before you sleep okay so but in terms of for the rest of the day, inconclusive. Oh, well. Yeah. You didn't like that?

You didn't like that? You know, sometimes you don't need to add spice to something. You can just say something and move on. Inconclusive. Inconclusive. I like that you're doing the, yeah, like when Homer got the laser eye surgery and they're like, Mr. Simpson, you need the drop so your eyes will crust over. And he's like, yeah, there you go with the add-ons and then his eyes just like visibly crossed over yeah but the blue blockers yeah i get it i mean i i also considered something like that too but

then when i realized it's more just like about light pollution than eye strain i mean i don't need glasses but yeah and they do it to look. So you just decided instead of wearing the glasses to take down the system. Yeah, exactly. From the inside. That's right. Works every time. What, Blake, is something that you think is underrated? Watching nature shows before you go to bed.

Now, this is the same issue as the blue light. So it's a trade-off. But I will sacrifice the blue light, okay? Because sometimes, I honestly have a book that I enjoy reading right now and i never will wow and i you know i was i was reading norm mcdonald's book and it was making me laugh so hard before i would go to bed i couldn't sleep so i had to stop reading it but i do recommend watching like nat geo shows or whatever it is and like keeping your phone away from you because that really there's like a peacefulness for any non-polar bear related show you know any ocean show it just really like zends me out while i'm watching it so there's a

guy named like birdie gregory who's host. And he's this little English boy almost. I don't know. He might be 14 years old. I don't know how he's hosting the show, but he's fantastic. His name is Birdie? Like a bird with a Y on the end? No, like Bert, but worse. Oh, okay.

I thought he was like, I'm a little birdie. I'm Birdie Gregory. Okay, Birdie Gregory. Yeah. I'm just watching cartoons to get is this a show for children

by any chance are we that is interesting there is a studio audience exclusively made up of three and four year olds so it might that might be what I'm watching

going wow but then he's got this pig friend who's also from the UK named Peppa it's kind of cool like international vibe oh that's interesting yeah

yeah and there's a mother and a father oh yeah and the brother's smaller no you're right it is peppa pig i highly recommend watching that nature show peppa pig to go to bed what is something you think is overrated i'm done with the summer i think we've fucked the earth to the point where it's the worst season now I know people will go on vacation during the it's just bad it's just I would much rather be in freezing temperatures in the winter because you can layer up then deal with being hot and I know you all are getting a big heat wave now or soon but yeah I'm so done with the summer getting the first cold day in on

the east coast is like the nicest thing i'm like oh good i don't have to sweat 24 hours a day how far off are you want to how far off are you from that day though on the east coast it's been 50s at night like high 50s for the past few days yeah it's been high 80s at night in certain parts so brutal. So brutal. Yeah, first thing in the morning. Dude. Last thing at night. When I moved to LA, I thought that air conditioning was like $45 a minute to run. And so my roommate,

and my roommate was also an idiot, so we didn't get it for like two years. And there were times when it would be a hundred, you know, that stretch in late September, early October, where it's just in like one tens every single day and i was of course unemployed so i would like almost like a hippo go into the shower and like splash water on my body to cool off like cold water get

out and do that multiple times a day and then fan shit just everywhere around you like a hippo yeah and then i would put a whole watermelon in my mouth and crush it in front of a bunch of a bunch of amazed odd children yeah they loved it i would do it with a pumpkin during the fall squash uh am i a hippo peppa hippo i'm sorry i missed everything because there was another i don't know what you said about pumpkins but it's okay david has pumpkins uh the thing i would do uh when i was because also famously uh for some reason asian moms don't like air conditioning either so i grew up also believing that it was 45 dollars a second that like sometimes just ring out i would i would soak a bath towel in water

and then wring it out and then use that as like a blanket because that like the very wet towel created a nice you know uh insulating layer to keep my body cool that's really funny that you would wear a wet a wet towel as a cooling blanket where i had the opposite issue where we lived in like this town house and i had where i my bedroom was was like air-conditioned finished attic like really like a great place to like sleep but it didn't have heat up there so in the winter i would it was like a nice room but i would have to wear like a coat to bed like in the winter, I would it was like a nice room, but I would have to wear like a coat to bed in the winter when I was home from college and quilts. And also to add like what really made it a sad visual is that I was sleeping alone in a bunk bed, too, because we just never got a new bed for me. So, yeah, when I was home from school, I would be in a coat shivering in a bunk bed in a nice townhouse.

It was already a very sad visual. would be in a coat shivering in a bunk bed but like in a nice townhouse right it was by the way it was already a very sad visual oh yeah okay even though you set it up it was such a nice attic but then the second you had a trench coat i'm like picturing some like turn of the century russian novel where it's like you know you got like shivering in my coat yeah in the attic the tin plates that they would pass through the little doggy hole in the door for me to eat, you know, with the mush on it. Those would get cleared out pretty quickly. So it's not as sad. It wasn't a bug problem.

They cleared up my tin plates real quick. As long as the three raccoons I lived up there with didn't get to it first. And they got handsy. And I do want to say for if anyone ever sees the visual of this which seems uh less and less likely but we're working it out folks i'm moving to new york next week so by wall we're moving i'm not um uh as psychotic as everything that i've said so far on this program would lead you to believe. You look like you're just squatting, really, is what it is.

But it doesn't matter. I know the truth. We know the truth. I bring my own Wi-Fi router with me everywhere I squat, and it's high speed. Yeah, that's right. All right. Let's take a quick break, and we'll come back and learn what Flagstock is. Flagstock is.

Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.

Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I 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 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. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.

I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of

conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea but worse, if that's possible.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady Rebel. Like, what does that even mean?

The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose

hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash.

Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. Why? Flagstock. Yeah. So did Flagstock just happen? Flagstock happened on fucking Labor Day, right?

Oh, hell yeah, Brad. So I know you probably, okay, you may not remember hearing about Flagstock, but you probably remember. So last spring, right, when like there are a ton of pro-Palestinian like protests happening on campuses, there was this moment at UNC Chapel Hill that like warmed the hearts of conservative media when all these frat guys like rallied around the American flag to like keep it from touching the ground. And they're like, oh, I can't touch the ground, dude. They were trying to put a Palestinian flag up.

We're going to hold this flag and we honor it to make sure it doesn't touch the ground. That kicked off like this whole thing where they're like, look at these like young men who like really understand like what's at stake here in this country. So, so brave. Yeah. Rally on the side of the country they're in. Totally. Totally.

Yeah. Rally around the sort of universal symbol for oppression at the moment. But anyway, these guys were the darlings of conservative media for like a week. But during that week, right, this GOP operative guy named John Noonan set up a GoFundMe to be like, we should thank these young men and throw these frat boys an epic rager like that they'll remember forever.

That shit raised over $500,000, okay, during the course of the go. This is how they described the fucking event. Quote, commie losers across the country have invaded college campuses to make dumb demands of weak university administrators. But amidst the chaos, the screaming, the anti-Semitism, the hatred of faith and flag, stood a platoon of American heroes. A platoon. Armored in vineyard vines in Patagonia, fueled by Zin and White Claws.

Sorry, did he start making fun of them at this point i don't this is where it gets weird uh fueled by zin and white claws these triumphant brohemians protected old glory from the unwashed marxist horde laughing at their shrieks and wails and shielding the stars and stripes from soviet missiles so missiles think, I mean, maybe they're using the term when people throw things that's like a projectile from a crowd. Like sometimes they call it like a missile or whatever in a technical sense.

But again, he's evoking a lot of cool stuff with words that don't make sense anymore if you actually look at the meanings. But all that to say, he got this GoFundMe fucking cracking. So once the funds were secured the organizers they reached out to the frats and it kind of all went basically downhill from there like a lot of frats were like this kind of isn't like a great look for us to like

be involved in this it just feels like very right wing and i get like some of the guys were there for you know protecting the flag but it's funny some of the guys were there for, you know, protecting the flag. But it's funny. Some of the guys are like, I didn't really do this like as like a Republican thing. I just I just knew you couldn't let that flag touch the ground. So I'm not really here for like I'm not really trying to go like a Republican event. But it's like, oh, you sweet, sweet boy. That's exactly what they've become. These are mega heroes. Yeah.

So they really they thought this thing was going to be like in the fucking thousands. Right. In terms of attendance. So they really, they thought this thing was going to be like in the fucking thousands, right. In terms of attendance. And as they were talking to the frat guys, they're like, dude, we're going to have like 7,000 people there. It's going to be wild. The frat frat guys were like, but like the money, like what, what are you going to do with like the 500,000?

Like, dude, it's going to go to make the sickest party for you guys. And some of them were like, could we like we like maybe like it might be better spent like improving our own frat houses or maybe just even like donating it to like a charitable cause because it's not that like we were down and out um and they're like yeah you just shut the fuck up man we're gonna have sublime with rome there and big and rich and cowboy troy you fuck wit so so it's like a cool kid accidentally like looked at them and they were like we're actually super tight uh based on that and i'm throwing the sickest party at my house for them yeah for their birthday and presumably that went really well and not was not of course so they said

7 000 tickets but then they they like the details were held so closely, like guarded that people didn't know the venue until the day of. And something like what they thought was going to be 7,000. Then they're like, sorry, we only were handed out like 3,000 tickets. About 200 people showed up total. And they said it kind of basically got down to about 150 is where it sort of like leveled out to once people are like what the fuck is this but it's also like all the details of this are so fucking wild because again this is like some boomer maga dude's like idea of what a fucking rager is so they had an ice luge in the vip section for the broletariat uh that was exalted uhalted. And this whole event was in honor of. They also had lawn games

with fucking customized logos or whatever. Still not sure where the $500,000 went. One of the musical acts, Big and Rich, they begged people to come on Twitter. They're like, guys, you gotta come. The mystery spot has been revealed. It's free. Please come through see

lee greenwood us and other 60 year old people perform for young college people and you know how did the event go well why don't you tell me why i show you this clip you call me fuck wad and tell me how fucking sick this event was i'm at the on the edge of my seat here. All this build up, it sounds like it's going to be so awesome. There's a flyover. There is a flyover. It's the most out of tune guitar national anthem.

It's like a minute clip where they just kind of jump through the low lights of the whole thing. For patriotism and to show our love for the United States of America. thing patriotism and to show our love for the united states of america look at this crowd dude the crowd is scattered those protesters tearing down old glory there's like an old guy who's like lost in the crowd who's like what it was like in a vfw is he the one with the microphone uh no he was the guy if you go back a few seconds he's the guy in um very high uh pants with his shirt tucked in who has like a very

skeletal old man figure yeah you'll see anyway uh you saw it earlier anyway so they're like there's a ton of like monologue like they're like eulogizing these guys and playing all this like footage of them holding the flag then there's like this one moment where like this guy comes on to do like the unc fight song it's also just very again dude a sick ass razor when you have a 58 year old dude go up there to fucking turn the party up of you it goes And when I die, I'll be Tar Heel dead. So it's hoorah, Carolina, what? Hoorah, Carolina, what? Hoorah, Carolina. Go to hell, Duke.

Is that what he says? Yeah, that's the end of it. You got to cap it off with go to hell, Duke. Go to hell, Duke. Yeah. It is a bad turnout for the fourth stage at a state fair where Montel Jordan is playing. Not even, dude. That's like where... No, no. Montel Jordan's playing the fourth stage at a state fair where like montel jordan is playing not even dude that's like we're no no montel jordan's playing the main stage oh oh oh right right right thank you for fixing that yeah thank you for correcting yourself this is where cory feldman is performing yeah yeah

like whatever is on this stage is like bumming people out but my favorite part about i mean there's so many favorites a favorite part about this is because it's five hundred thousand dollars you can estimate how much money these idiots got paid to perform at this stupid fucking thing because it's like you look at the stage all right so a lot of money went into the stage there's also they and the organizers definitely pocketed at least three hundred least at least 500 000 yeah at least 500 000 well so it's like oh big and rich are working for free like they love this so much they're done saving horses and riding cowboys right no this is what's fucking murky though

right like a lot of people like we're what the fuck is it's like even the frat guy's like dude you could probably throw a rager for like 30k like they were even like they've thrown enough parties with fucking 30 000 dude we could fucking everyone can get alcohol poisoning yeah yeah but like you just put some antifreeze into the oh yeah dude easy easy works the same so but the whole thing was kind of like a big grift like the organizers continued to raise funds even after the gofundme was successful and like it was real mergers like anything left over will go to charities which ones i don't know and how much money's left over what why am i on trial there are people saying that like one of

the musical acts said the stage was donated like the stage infrastructure was donated the beer was you had to buy food and alcohol so you're like where did this money go exactly where did the money go yeah the fucking musicians did it for free apparently they only did it for their travel to the venue and based on how shitty the sublime rome fucking performance was i believe that these people were not fucking paid rome ramirez who is now like the new front guy for for sublime dude this is like you know bradley the original singer from from sublime was obviously had his issues uh with drinking drugs and stuff like that this is like this is like next level like guys should not have gone on stage to sing

a like a sublime song yeah this is this is rome hey this is rome baby when in rome do like the fucking tar heels do because this is this is him hitting fucking santa ria right here oh no Oh, no. Oh, buddy. So that's what they were being fucking serenaded. That's on par with the Star Spangled Banner that sent that girl to rehab. Oh, yeah, right.

At the baseball. Yeah. All-star weekend the reason that sublime is so popular is that literally everybody can sing their songs pretty well right it's just like the most basic easy songs to sing you get the song stuck in your head and then you're like damn should i be the lead singer of sublime yeah so to have the person who is the lead singer of sublime get up there and just fucking that biff it that hard yeah yeah gives us all hope i think yeah i think so 500 000 well laundered i'll say uh for her fucking flag stock so yeah like in the end like a lot of people were like there was one interview with this one guy one frat guy who was really trying to act like it

wasn't an l and he's like like, you know, going into it, we didn't know if this thing was going to be huge or tiny and no one would show up. And now that I'm here, it's huge. So that's cool. It's huge. It's huge.

It's huge, dude. Question mark? Yeah. Well, congratulations, dude. Question mark. Yeah. Yeah. Well, congratulations, guys. Congratulations. I'm sure this is going to do great for you.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and

culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I 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 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. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lion.

An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this.

And we're back hello the internet there he is oh he's just always ready to you know hop in yeah he is he is it's friday that's right all right uh let's check in with j Waters because he just blasted Tim Walz for not being masculine enough. And we know that's true because, A, women that Jesse Waters personally claims to have talked to don't want to fuck Tim Walz.

Gotcha. And B, and so that one you might be like okay hearsay your honor uh well b we have actual scientific evidence an expert witness your honor i bring jesse waters to the stand who has a theory on why tim walls i think not even a theory right i feel like because this has been borne out scientifically i think we can call this a law now right yeah law of science yeah this is that helps me that helps me not having seen this yet yes so now this is what this is going to be exactly now take everything jesse waters says as just absolute immutable truth that you must accept here's jesse waters on his take on masculinity women love masculinity and women do not

love Tim Walls. So that should just tell you about how masculine Tim Walls is. The other day you saw him with a vanilla ice cream shake. Had a straw in it. Again, that tells you everything. Judge Jeanine. Judge Jeanine, over to you.

Sorry. It was he had a straw in it, and that tells you everything you need to know. Yeah. No, we know. We can tell. We are all in agreement.

Obviously, dude. I haven't been used. Why did he even think you had to say that? Everyone knows that if you drink through a straw, that's unmasculine. Ivory of oxygen to live. It's like, what? Yeah, dude. Also, real men Ivory of oxygen to live. It's like, what? Yeah, yeah.

Dude. Yeah. Also, real men don't go fucking snorkeling because that shit's sus as hell, dude. Having a fucking snorkel in your mouth, dude. Having a fucking straw in your mouth, dude. Even when I go to the dentist, I don't even let them do the suction to get my saliva.

I just let it pool out and just fall out of my face, all over my face because I ain't having no tube in my mouth. You know i mean you know what i mean guys man you look like rocky with just blood hell yeah dude i'm looking like million dollar baby i've been intubated or something dude fucking tough shit i i saw this beta horse eating straw and i got so pissed off eating straw i threw a hamburger as hard as I could at that thing's stupid brainless head. And it stopped and it ate that.

And I'm like, there we go. Make progress. It's wild that he's been like holding on to this for a very, like it's part of his brand. Obviously. Weird takes on masculinity. It's a thing he tends to come back to the way i come back to the coal gas study or um the havana right right right right right right but it's uh so i'm not gonna begrudge him that but i am a little confused why he thinks it's so compelling well here like you know let's

just let's this is from last year when again, he was like, dude, did you see that fucking guy using a fucking straw? Is he OK? This is again, Jesse Waters with his straw straw man takes. On Monday, I covered Joe Biden's Thanksgiving trip to Nantucket. He polar plunged at a little Black Friday shopping with Hunter and he called one of our correspondents stupid. And we're willing to look past that little outburst, but some things we just can't let slide. Joe Biden uses straw. Now, if you've seen me on The Five or on Primetime,

you know I recommend that all men refrain from using straws. It's unbecoming. The way a man's lips purse. The size of the straw is just too dainty. The way your fingers clasp on it no come on wait i'm sorry you like a size queen is he like a size queen he's like i don't like like i want to i want to wrap my i want stretch marks on my mouth when i put my fucking when i sip from a shot that's some little puny thing you know what i mean i drink through pcp pipe

is what i what is it called i'm smoking out of a pc yeah whoops this is by the way we've had to edit all the other times blake has accidentally brought up pcp pipes in this episode so many and used um yeah and used on the show no i like to drink out of a gutter i like to remove gutters off my house and then drink through them. An ice luge. I guess we'll let him continue. There's a little bit on the end of this, right, Jack? You're saying as he continues to talk about this?

Yeah, yeah. He also has some soup takes. Straws are for women and little kids. But apparently, this is controversial. So then we show Jimmy Kimmel, who's making fun of him. Men should never suck anything through a straw. Really?

Is that a thing now? Jimmy, you know I don't apologize. That, along with the straws and others, one of my many tenets. And I'm sure Trump would agree that wasn't a good look. He's better than that. And as you've heard me say, it's not just straws, Jimmy. Soup is another problem area. Men shouldn't eat soup in public.

Again, you're pursing your lips in anticipation. Okay, we got a stock photo of somebody eating soup. You lean your head out, trying not to spill it. Come on. It's like a balancing act what soup isn't even filling balancing sometimes you have to blow on it if it's too hot it's too hot it's not dude i what what happened in jesse water's life you know what i mean where you end up so like so in your head with your like homophobic shit where you're like dude don't fucking fucking put a tube near your mouth or something. And then you got to blow on something, dude. And men should be fully reclined, laying down, eating with their hands.

That's the only way to eat. Otherwise, you know, I don't know. You look a little... Only manly way to taking calories is have grapes fed to you while you're being fanned. Otherwise, starve to death yeah with peacock feathers i mean based on what we know about tucker his predecessor like one would have to suspect that jesse waters's dad got cucked by uh like a straw man yeah no by a

straw yeah by a straw straw salesman a soup guy. A straw salesman. A soup guy? I don't know. Yeah. The soup, like, people don't even purse their lips to eat soup as far as I know. Is he talking about blowing on something that's hot? Yeah, it would just burn your mouth. Again, it doesn't make any sense. The thing that, for me, resonated, because I do agree with some of what he's saying, you know, more than anything, is, like, you know how, like, when you're a kid and you take shit from, like, TV and movies when you're a kid and you take shit from

like tv and movies and you kind of like bring that into your personality like most kids thought they were ace of ventura at some point yeah or like you're like i talked out of my ass literally before and now it's only figuratively but but you know what i mean and like you're kind of like oh that's that that thing that character said i'm gonna take that on in my life as a philosophy but you're like 12 this guy is doing it like in his 40s because i don't know if you remember the film uh crazy stupid love like ryan gosling's cool guy character tells the nerdy steve carell character in that film to knock it off with using a straw because it looks like they're sucking on a little dick. Oh, I mean, that's it. He's just like stealing.

Yeah, I think I think I think he saw that. It was like, dude, this Ryan got this Ryan. This is my whole shit right here. Sickest dude I've ever fucking seen. And if his rule is like you don't sip fucking anything out of a straw to be a man, that's just one of Jesse's laws, baby. It is what that idiot only used it for one line. I can stretch this out for years.

I don't have to ever stop. Really, Jesse? No straws? Yeah, I'll tell you why. You got to purse your lips. You got to cup the water. You got to drink the water. It's just unbecoming.

It's unbecoming, especially not of a president. What you got to do the water. It's just, it's just, it's unbecoming. It's unbecoming. Especially not of a president. So yeah. What you got to do is freeze the soup and lick it like a block of a popsicle. That's how men eat soup. Just lap it up. You know what I mean? Like a dog.

Yes. Like a male dog. Yeah. Poor guy. Tough man dog. Yeah. That is, that has to be haunting to have a movie character's voice ringing through your head like and be like oh my god i'm doing the thing ryan gosling's character said to not do in that rom-com that most people kind of remember yeah i wonder if this is like one of his writers is like stealing from that and he's just like confidently like this is good stuff

right right right we're killing it more stuff like that yeah that's it it's also like donald trump has like talked about the fact that he because he's a germaphobe will not like drink anything not through a straw including like if he's at a black tie event right we'll only drink through a straw because he doesn't trust the glasses to be clear and to the point where like in the culture wars they were hawking their like full pvc pipe straws that they were putting out like in response to like oh everything's a paper straw or like not plastic anymore buy your trump maga straws um it's a big part of the brand but anyway it doesn't matter because nothing is consistent with their outrage it's just they just say whatever and i'm sorry

kind of fucked me up because my mother-in-law for a long time has been complimenting me on how much i like soup because i love korean soups and it is a great thing about you it's probably one of the only good things well yeah it's the only reason you come back on the show like yeah it's because of his love of soup yeah yeah and thank you and but then recently was like you know most men don't like soups when she was like telling me about soups and she was like so that's why we think it's like so nice that you like soups and yeah now now i don't eat soup because i feel like you can't makes me look jack i made my mother-in-, Jack, I made your favorite soup. Yeah, put it on a plate for me.

Yeah, plate that. Let's plate that, please. Yeah. How are you going to? Don't worry about it. Put it in a rocks glass. Oh, yeah, it burns. It's going all the side of my face.

It's fine. It doesn't bother me. But I got to have it hot. I'm not going to blow on it and purse my lips. No. Wait, but so she's, was the implication there that soup is truly not a man's food i think that is a thing in korean culture maybe that it's like not or that men are like soup is too easy for you to make make me something that's not soup or she's a big jesse

waters fan huge i mean i should mention that yeah she, oh, you want me to get you a straw for your soup, Jack? You're like, what? Because you're a real man, aren't you? Yeah. 70% of what she says about me is in Korean within your shot of me, and I don't speak Korean. So she entirely could be like, Jesus Christ. She's like, wow. She's like, I wanted more for you as my daughter. But hey, you know what?

It is what it is, huh? She loves you, babe. She loves you. Yeah. Getting behind me and giving a thumbs down to everyone else in the room. Doing a little straw motion. Straw motion. Yeah.

What's that? Oh, nothing, Jack. Your soup is ready. All right. Should we look at some Halloween costumes? Yes. Oh, nothing, Jack. Your soup is ready. All right. Should we look at some Halloween costumes? Yes. It's Halloween costume season already, even though it is 111 degrees in Los Angeles, which would melt most Halloween costumes, which are made out of basically rough polymers. Yeah.

Candle wax. All right. So it has arrived in stores earlier than ever this year target home depot and lowe's rolled out their halloween collections back in july and spirit halloween has already opened over a thousand stores in the u.s with more to come amazingly spirit halloween's worst costume is not the inflatable skibbity toilet, but it's pretty bad. Do they have a mask on the Skibbity toilet?

No, that's what that guy looks like. Because the face is that of a cartoon character. It's strange that they felt, because the head of the Skibbity toilet is not, it's just a dude with dark hair. It looks like Elon Musk got ran over by a steamroller.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Just flattened it fully out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. God, your kids aren't asking for a skibbity toilet costume. No, no, no. Probably my nephews, but not my kids. But that's what they're getting.

Yeah. They're not asking for it. They're getting it. You can be that or a man who drinks soup with a straw. Make your choice, kids. You can be that or a man who drinks soup with a straw. Make your choice, kids. But probably the worst costume we've seen thus far is a Chipotle-themed costume.

They're just unicolor bodysuits that are meant to represent a napkin fork, water cup, burrito, and to-go bag. And for some reason, all except the burrito cover your entire face yeah why does the burrito get a face hole and everyone else he was the only handsome one i think is why the others are so ugly the rest of the guys are the skibbity toilet guy underneath the mask so they're like exactly yeah let's not do it really just looks like like even if I saw them walking down the street together, side by side, I would be like, Chipotle branded sleep paralysis demon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why I couldn't have put it together because, yeah, none of them really look like the thing. The skin tightness of it feels strange. It feels like it doesn't help in any way right well like what's offensive i get that it's against morals it's revealing it's um yeah it's not it's

indecent i think this is what yeah i was trying to say it should look like old-timey bathing costumes very baggy down to the ankles yeah yeah it's like one of those things too like where i get that on the internet people were joking like with like a really non-descript thing and we're like i'm a chipotle fork and you're just wearing an all black bodysuit and like that's what they're sort of being like oh man the internet loved that let's make let's do literally that because we're brands and we're so savvy with like internet culture that they're like hey now we did it you guys like it and everyone like this in the midst of people being like man chipotle's fucking falling off yeah they're like well wait you think we've fallen off well we've

been investing money and we're going to do nothing yeah we're gonna do this with it yeah there was a like meme where you know somebody created a fake a fake Spirit Halloween costume bag that said Chipotle fork and was just a black bodysuit. And they were like, wait a minute, we have an idea. No, you don't. No, you don't. No, you don't. That's not an idea. That's not what an idea is.

Yeah, and it's not funny when you do it it's funny because someone said this this dumb thing is now a chipotle fork rather than being like guess what this chipotle fork is now a dumb thing and you're like nah nah nah nah see you know the sequence is the sequence is all off it's all off yeah yeah i think the burrito got a breathing hole because its suit appears to be made of a real unbreathable plastic. Right, right. That's a safety. Yeah, yeah. You don't want someone to pass away dressed as a Chipotle burrito. Good Lord.

I second that. This year, I feel like if we're talking Chipotle, the costume would have been about those assholes who were filming Chipotle workers. They'd be like, get cheap on me with the carnitas, all right? You know what I mean? That felt like more of the popular culture thing about Chipotle that was brewing more than, hey, I can be a bag. Yeah. Well, I guess we know what Miles is going to be for Halloween. He's just snapping at uh service workers

nice try asshole gotcha all right well blake wexler what a pleasure having you on the daily zeitgeist likewise where can people find you follow you hear you all that good stuff people can do all of those things on at Blake Wexler all social media.

Oh, God. Blake, is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Yes. I saw a tweet from Ariel Dumas.

It's A-R-E-L-D-U-M-A-S. And Ariel retweeted a screen grab where it was a news story that says, Open AI pleads that it can't make money without using copyrighted materials for free and then ariel wrote i have been told to stop stealing muffins from the bakery unfortunately it's the only way to keep my lucrative muffin stand in business everyone is fine with this that baby laughed miles where can people find you is there a work of media you oh god where do you find me find me on thanks blake twitter thank you blake um what did that other man just say to me blake what did he ask uh just go right ahead promote whatever you got

The thing I saw that kind of blew my mind is, I didn't know there was MMA for people in full suits of armor now. Amazing.

Because, again, we're doing great. Are you talking medieval times? Dude, this fucking clip, this is from At Happy Punch, and I guess they just specialize in...

times. Hence they don't have it at medieval times, but they do have Pepsi. And no, anyway, this is like medieval MMA. These people are whacking the shit out of each other with like broadswords headbutting each other.
