Do it. Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 30, Episode 1 of Dead Daily Zeitgeist. Yeah. For May 7th, 2018, my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Jack O'Bron James. Uh, a.k.a. Jack O'Bron James. Uh, sure. And I am thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA. Great.

Cocaine quarter piece, got war and peace inside my DNA. Great. I got miles with that TNC, TAC inside my DNA. Great. Damn it. It was too complex. That's why I'm not a rapper and I'm a second-rate podcaster. But thank you to Skrt Nowitzki for that, a.k.a. on Twitter.

Also, amazing handle. Also, shout-out to the two guys at the Kentucky Derby who were hitting me on Twitter. They were talking about the Daily Zeitgeist. I didn't believe it, but they showed me a picture. So, shout-out to you, Adam and Clayton Barnes, for taking that photo of y'all at the infield. And maybe next time I'll go to the Derby because I hear it's a lot of fun. Yeah. They're at, like, the world's biggest party or the biggest party in America.

That happens consistently every year. And we're thinking about the Zeitgang. Wait, it's the biggest party of the year? I think it's the biggest party in America. Because the same guy was like, you should check it out on Netflix. There's a thing about how it's. Wait, it's the biggest party of the year? I think it's the biggest party in America. Because the same guy was like, you should check it out on Netflix. There's a thing about how it's one of the biggest events. It's pretty big. The ball drop also counts?

That's probably the biggest, right? Yeah, okay, go to that. And then tell me how much fun that is. I won't go to Times Square. Don't you have to wear diapers? It's just like being held in place in the freezing cold for like 10 hours. Oh, cool. Yeah.

I don't know. I've never been, but the ball drop looks fucking miserable. I've never been, but. I've been to the Derby many a times. The Derby. It is a good time. This ain't no push cart Derby. But we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious stand-up comedian Fahim Anwar.

What's up, man? Thanks for having me. Good. How are you? Good. Yeah. All right. So hit us with that rap, a.k.a.

I got. No, I'm just kidding. Like I just came prepared. Who's your favorite rapper, Fahim? Who do I like? Do you like rap? Yeah, I like rap. Okay.

Come on. Yeah. I don't know. I'm just making sure some people like. I think it's a phase. Yeah. It'll be done. It'll be back to old hymns.

I literally think every parent said that at least once. If they were phase. Yeah. It'll be done. It'll be back to old hymns. I literally think every parent said that at least once. If they were white. Yeah. Every white parent probably. My dad was like, yeah, we fucking with this right now. I remember I got yelled at for rapping Cypress Hill. Like when the first album came out, I was like, when this shit goes down, you better be ready. And he was like, that song is about young men killing each other.

I don't want you in that filth. And then he put the two live crew on. So, whatever. You gotta pick your battle spirits. Right, right. Yeah, I had to hide my, I couldn't listen to it in public. I'd have to do it in my room

and if they came by, I'd have to shut it off. Right. Because like, death row record stuff when I was growing up. So she'd walk into my room and do my homework.

It's like, and she even licked my balls. I gotta, this is the worst timing. Right, yeah, yeah. So she'd walk into them and do my homework. It's like, and she even licked my balls. I got it. Yeah. This is the worst timing. Right. You're pointing your headphones like it's actually Mozart.

Good studying music. Fahim, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I think I searched for this yesterday.

I searched best way to cook frozen hash brown patties. Yeah. Very specific. Because I was doing it in a certain way and I wasn't happy

with the way I've been doing it and I thought there's got to be a better way. That's what Google's for. A better way. Did you find a better way? I did find a better way. Wait,

so what do you mean the frozen, like the Ore-Ida like pre-made joints or what are you talking about? Yeah, or I get the Rouse, the Kroger,

big fan of Kroger. I also have this idea for like a janky Freddy Krueger but his name's Freddy Kroger. Oh, hell yeah. Just off-brand. Just off-brand Freddy Krueger, but his name is Freddy Kroger. Oh, hell yeah. Just off-brand.

Just off-brand Freddy Krueger. And it's just the blue striped sweater instead of the actual Freddy Krueger. And just X-Acto knives for gloves. So like when you get those patties, any of them, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, like the kinds that are like the McDonald's pre-made self-contained. Yeah, they're just frozen and there's 10 of them in a thing. So it's so easy to make breakfast.

So I'll put oil in the pan and I'll do that. But it just takes forever and then it's kind of mushy in the middle. It's not as crispy. So I searched and then they say just put it in the oven, 450, 20 minutes. And I had reservations when I read that. I'm like, yeah, that's a long time. I don't want to wait 20 minutes. But really it's not.

You do other shit. Right, right. Just put it in the oven and it's so much better and it's everything is better in the oven you realize yeah and i don't have to clean the pan again to make the eggs just deal with the time and do the oven people yeah yeah yeah so how do you time it you put you got the oven going all right i hit it with a preheat for 10 minutes right okay so we got 30 minutes so it's a commitment yeah it's a bit of a commitment right just make your coffee do the other stuff, I have 50 minutes every morning to prepare my breakfast.

You're late for work again. Yeah, man. I'm not eating a soggy ass hash brown. Yeah, I'm assuming everybody who's listening is a stand-up comedian who has a lot of free time in the morning as well. Right. I think most people are listening on their commute and they're going to be like, I actually just go to Hardee's, go to McDonald's, pick up that joint. Yeah, just swing by.

Have someone else do it for you. Yeah. That's an option. I've told people how to reheat their pizza on air, right? Oh, wait. You have? With a pan? Yeah, with a pan.

That shit is good. A little bit of water. How do you do it, though? Don't you need a cover for it, too, or no? Yeah, you just need a pan with a lid that you can put on top, and then you just get it until the crust is crispy or the bottom is crispy. Then you put a drop of water, put the lid over top of it for one minute, and it comes out brand new. you put a drop of water put the lid over top of it for one minute and it comes out feel like brand new oh what does that drop of water do uh it gets in the it sort of

moistens the crust so it makes the top of the crust soft so it's not like all you know sometimes when you like yeah when you put it in the oven and it's like all like a yeah yeah too dry uh this this kind of makes it so that it's it's like it just came out crisp. Yeah, too dry. This kind of makes it so that it's like it just came out of the box. Did you do that with your leftover pizzana pizza

when we went out to dinner that one time? I did not get to eat that. That was taken down by Milady. Milady. Well, shout out to also James over there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was some good shit. Fahim, what is something that is overrated? All right, so I have very strong opinions about this. So sometimes when I'm in a new town or something or I want a coffee shop, people will fuck with Five Stars. And it's always crazy. You'll go there.

There's nowhere to sit. Right. And it's just annoying. So these are my Yelp. Yeah, Yelp. What do you mean by Five Stars? Yeah, sure, sure, Yelp. Just if you're using an app to find a place.

Got you. But especially with coffee, Yelp. What do you mean by five stars? Yeah, sure, sure, Yelp. Just if you're using an app to find a place. Got you. But especially with coffee, I think. So I don't fuck with five-star coffee places anymore just because it's too much going on. There's nowhere to sit. Right. I'm all about three-star coffees. Ooh.

Because how are you going to fuck up coffee that bad? What? It's not going to be that. Right, right, right. The Delta isn't as big as, say, a restaurant or something. And you're shelling out five bucks. isn't as big as say a restaurant or something. Right.

And you're shelling out five bucks. So I value space and no people over like a smidgen better coffee. Right, right, right, right, right. So fuck with the four and threes. So you're talking about five star on Yelp or any review thing. Or like a rating. Not a brand named five star. Wait, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Just for us who don't know. Right. For people out there. We're not talking about a specific brand. You don't have to apologize for me, Miles. Okay? Well, okay.

Sorry. Just because there's never any room at a five-star place when it comes to coffee. Yeah, no, no, no. Totally. Well, yeah. Especially when you're like, what's the Alfred Coffee and shit out here in LA where it's a fucking scene where it looks like the VIP area of Coachella or something. Right.

You don't understand, A, why people are so well-dressed to sit down to grab a cup of coffee, or I feel the exact same way. I feel like coffee, pretentious coffee place, is really... Well, just now that I've gotten older, too, I find myself valuing my time. I can't do lines anymore. I will not stand in a line.

You just do bumps off a key now? That's what I thought. I was like, yeah, me neither, man. This is a drug podcast, right? Yeah, I stopped that for a while. I stopped that years ago. Just lines for, sometimes I'll go into a Starbucks or something, and there's a huge line. I'm like, see you later.

I'm like this. Smell you later, Starbucks. Yeah, I'm just going to go to McDonald's and get a, I don't want to stand in this line. Right. I also just don't like people, so I get that. Yeah. Especially when you want to just sit down.

Not being able to sit down. That's the same thing with bars, too. I prefer to sit down because I'm ailing now physically as I get older. want to just sit down. Not being able to sit down. It's the same thing with bars too. I prefer to sit down because I'm ailing now physically as I get older. I need to sit down. Any bar that's too deep at the bar. Too deep people. Where you have to wait for somebody

to get the bartender's attention. You have to look and be like, alright, which one of these people is going to get the bartender's attention first? Don't go for the white dude with a baseball cap on. They never get the bartender's attention. We call this bar science. Yeah, no, I think that's so true. I think there's no shortage of mediocre coffee places that are cool and have a nice vibe to them.

It's just they're not fashionable or whatever. True. And also, even when it comes to Blue Bottle or whatever and people rave about it and it's really hyped right now, it's kind of frustrating when I go in there and there's a line or something

and all I just want is a regular cup of coffee. I don't need a beaker. Right. I don't need you to make it with a Bunsen burner. But they're like, this has chicory in it.

Yeah. Or you watch the guy pour it over and it's like a Benihana of coffee now. Right, right, right. I just, the guy pour it over and it's like a Benihana of coffee now. Right, right, right. I just, it'd be cool

if people who are in a rush just have a separate regular drip blue bottle which I'm sure would be great. Right. That's fine. I don't need to see your science experiment

and then it just takes too long. Yeah. Yeah. Everything's becoming more complicated. Do you have time for a pour over?

It's going to be 30 minutes. Yeah. Do you have time for a what? And then you go in there and you just want a coffee and they're like, what part of the complicated do you have time for a pour over it's gonna be $30 and then you want to go in there you just want a coffee and they're like what part of the world do you get just a coffee I don't know is there anybody who like knows the difference between the continents that the beans come from

I'm sure someone does yeah but like actually I'd love to see them nail a blind taste test because I bet they're yeah when you like give like wine experts grape juice and it's like a blindfolded taste test. Oh, for sure. Like they don't know what the fuck they're doing. I wanted to do this like sketch where it's a man on the street where I set up some pop-up shop and it's like super swanky coffee place.

And we have all these hipsters and it looks super cool. Right. The baristas have suspenders on. And so this is going, it was up for like a day. And there's hidden cameras and stuff. And then halfway through, I just go, attention everybody,

you've been drinking Folgers. Folgers and St. Christoph. And then I get into like a helicopter. It's like the most elaborate juices just to fuck with history. When really, this sounds like you made an ad for Folgers. Pretty much.

And they didn't even know. I know. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you, Folgers. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Oh, crockpots. Okay. Just throw it in and forget it. Set it and forget it. You've been cooking with a lot of crockpots?

I have one, and it was great. I went through a phase. I gotta get back into it. If you rarely cook, that's the next step up, because it's cool to cook something you're not even really trying. Right, right, right. It's pretty low risk for most people. If your prior cooking experience to that is maybe

scrambling eggs. Yeah, the slow cooker. Do you have like an Instapot that's also a pressure cooker? Oh, damn. Pressure cookers, that is next level. See, this is how they need to start getting these ads. Shit I really fuck with. I mean, you want to talk about an easy meal.

So what can you cook with that? Or how's that different than a crock pot? You can braise meats. You can do shit so tender because it's pressurized. Woo, boy. I had no idea. But yeah, that shit is, it just makes the meat so tender for some reason. I don't know why.

Well, just the, yeah, over time it just helps break down the meat more than like traditional slowly braising it. Yeah. How long will it cook in? Like an hour? Yeah. No time. No time. Get your beans done right.

You know what I mean? Yeah. The thing with a crock pot, though, is like I think I'll be hungry in four hours. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like planning your life in four and six hour increments. You just have to put a whole chicken in because yeah, it needs to be able to like feed you for multiple meals to be worth it.

Yeah. It'll be funny. I'll be out and about and they're like, Hey, you want to go eat? I got to get home and the house is going to burn down. Yeah. I mean, that's how they died. And this is us, you know? Oh my God. Spoiler alert. Actually, I don't think anybody dies from the crock pot. There is a, there is a house fire caused by a crockpot. Look at this guy. We're going to put on

sirens before that one in the edit. All right. But yeah, those are dangerous, I think. Pressure cookers. That'd be great if there was a podcast called Spoilers and you just ruin everything. Chime in with an Infinity War spoiler. Yeah. Do you want to? I saw it this weekend. So what's up with Thanos?

No, it's great. Yeah, that shit is crazy. Did you see it? No, I didn't see it. I just saw people writing about some shit. I just, yeah, whatever. Anyway, moving on. It's a lot.

It's a lot to deal with. And I saw A Quiet Place over the weekend, and that is among... Whoa, look at that movie. Check out Mystery Time over here. I got the in-laws is a great movie. Check out Mr. Free Time over here. I got the in-laws in town, baby. Oh. Yeah, so I got some free babysitting.

And yeah, so I saw two movies. And A Quiet Place is where we're like, yeah, we'll go to the movies for a nice, carefree time. That is the most stressful 90 minutes of my life. So stressful. And it's like little kids, like little boys are like at stake. And like, you know,

I, like, I can't even watch nature documentaries anymore because like the young animals, like if a hatchling falls out of the nest, you're like, that's like too much for me. And like, so this,

this fucking movie, man, uh, but everyone, yeah. Make an attack out about Jack. Just take that part. He's like,

I can't even watch name shoot I'm such a soy boy but it's from being a father that movie it does seem stressful I mean I feel like that's pretty apparent from the trailer because it seems like the film could have just been called shut the fuck up you know what I mean I don't know if you want that

as a film going experience I didn't know what it was about until I saw it really I saw mostly billboards instead of ads there's an element to it that I didn't going experience. I didn't know what it was about until I saw it really. I only saw, I saw mostly billboards instead of ads and stuff. So I didn't know, there's an element to it that I didn't, you know what I mean?

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Super producer Rihanna Hosniyeh has come in with the question that will now ruin A Quiet Place for you

because you will be thinking about only this. What happens if you have to fart? We never see anyone defecate in the whole movie. Wait, because the movie is about monsters who they're attacking is based on noise.

So if you make a sound. Everything is silent. Yeah. Right. So any deviation from that means, oh, you will stand up. The monster, there's monsters, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay.

What if the writers, just like in the beginning of the movie, goes, you know, it's the future. Humans no longer fart. Just to cover that base. Like it makes no sense. That's part of the elevator pitch? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, what's your movie about? There's so much exposition just to cover that like it makes it makes no sense that's part of the elevator pitch yeah yeah yeah alright what's your movie about

there's so much exposition just to cover that so keep in mind okay alright it's like 20 they've learned to fart sound 2030 the year is 2030

where if they had like no longer exists if they had a whole contraption you know how they have the contraption for the baby if they had like a farting contraption it's just like a funnel

that they pass around just like an ass-shaped funnel. Yeah. Oh, great. Yeah. And it says Bose. The Bose Whisper Quiet Fart Silencer. B-plug.

Everyone just has one in for the entire time. Where's your silencer? And then Bose comes out with a line, so the whole movie was just promo for this fart silencer. But they're so committed that everyone's just wearing a cumbersome fart silencer the whole time.

Great question, Super Producer Ana Hosnia. That's why we keep her around, you guys. Alright, Fahim, and finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true that you know to be false? Myth. I think, like I've been on TV

or I'll do an acting thing here or there. Some people think just because you're on TV that you're rich and that's not true at all. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's so many people on TV who don't make a lot of money. Right.

You've had some great stand-up sets on late night shows I know that I of money. Right. You've had some great standup sets on late night shows. I know that I've seen and yeah, I assumed that you're a millionaire now. Yeah. Not at all. Came from a studio in Cape Town. You're recording an album? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, a studio apartment. Well, it functions both. Oh, damn. Maximize the space. Yeah. Why not sleep where I spit fire? And oddly enough, my apartment did catch fire last night. you know? Oh, damn. Maximize the space. Yeah, why not sleep where I spit fire? Yeah, exactly.

And oddly enough, my apartment did catch fire last night. From my crock pot. The crock pot, yeah, yeah. Bring it all back. Bring it all back to This Is Us, as we always do on this show. Ah, you did it again. You did it again. We are trying to take a sample of the national shared consciousness, what people are thinking and talking about right now.

And we wanted to start out with the man who has sort of dominated the brainwaves of America over the past weekend going into the end of last week. He is America's mayor. Mr. Rudy Giuliani was just bringing it. So he had this appearance on Hannity last week where it seemed like he was just, you know, had lost his bearings a little bit. Was like sort of an old man

who we might want to feel sorry for because he didn't know what he was saying was wrong or wasn't supposed to be. If you believe his telling of events. Right, like wasn't wasn't supposed to be if you believe his telling of events right right that he he wasn't supposed to be saying that and then they just came out and it was almost like when someone stumbles and then pretends to start running because they're like trying to make it look like they meant to do that because he just did that shit like for the whole weekend like every show He went through every show and was just saying damaging shit the whole time. It was amazing.

Even the surrogates that they put out there couldn't even, because he set off basically with his words, completely changed the way everyone is now looking at the Stormy Daniels case, like basically saying like, yeah, the president lied about not knowing about it. He knew and he even paid for it, like and completely blew up the narrative

that they were trying to push to defend the president. And now everybody's like oh he doesn't know what he's saying oh it's very inaccurate yeah maybe i did know like it's it's it's caused so much chaos and that's the great thing when there's like a huge group lie but it's so uncoordinated oh it's we're now in this section where everyone's trying to put the fires out but doesn't know what to do so well i think the first person who was just trying to do a little damage control was Roy Blunt, who went on to Jake Tapper to basically, like, Tapper was like, yo, what's good? You have a president who just says things that are factually inaccurate, false. How do you trust?

Anyway, so that's the question he's posing to the GOP of sort of like, isn't this a bad thing? Because that's the first thing we'd want to address. Yeah, he's like, I mean, remember when Clinton told a lie to the American people and you guys like lost your shit? So the Washington Post has fact checked you guys as president and he's told 3,000 lies. That's not even a joke. He's averaging eight to nine significant misstatements of truth a day since he's been in office. He's the newest member of OutKast, Trump lied 3,000. So anyway, listen to Roy Blunt trying to, I guess, rationalize why they still haven't.

I don't know. Just listen to this bullshit. Well, you know, that Trump persona has not changed since the campaign. Does it bother you, though? It would bother me less if we weren't getting things done. You know, what the regulators are doing, I think the tax package better than I would have expected. I think the foreign policy. The president was left with lots of problems.

We'd had about eight years where we acted like the United States of America was basically any other country in the world. And a lot of things got off uh off track during that eight years i think the president stepped in in a way that uh has helped that pretty pretty demonstrably let's talk about obama though yeah let's talk about the real villain here everything every defense is look over there what about that what about what about and yeah i mean basically this all this is their bargaining this is is their devil's bargain, right? Their deal they made is like, we'll just pretend we support this guy and he's not a total disaster because we can, you know, get around and circle jerk off on the dead body of the middle class.

What's left of it with like this tax scam and the deregulation and all this crazy shit that they don't care as long as it's like it's none of what he said is actually truly beneficial to the rest of the world possibly the diplomacy that will happen with north korea i think that is a positive for sure but i don't think any of the deregulation is good i don't think any of like this tax bill is good uh and people aren't really feeling the benefits of that and also the stock market is not like in fucking turbo drive right now either from it. They got their little Christmas gift and we're like, all right, pass it on to the shareholders basically. So that was the first step. Clearly,

this is a problem because the GOP is what's really, you know, they are really the ones that are truly responsible for everything right now because they are enabling this mess and they're co-signing it and their response to hey the president is lying is that a problem is just going shrug that's not a thing that's not leadership so that really is the reason why it makes the midterms really really important because you have to let people know like Roy Blunt who want to act like oh well uh you know he's been this guy forever wait what about Obama right like no no no no no no people have real problems there are there are veterans who need help there are people with mental health

issues that need help there are people who their health insurance situation is terrible there are people who need fucking help and just to be so dismissive is so it's so disingenuous and disgusting anyway everybody who wants to explain away why trump he's been doing this in the beginning yo you guys should be watch your backs for the midterms because that's the only way we can really communicate to the powers that be that people are not stupid and this is not actually a winning strategy. But anyway. I mean,

I'm still reeling from the imagery of Roy Blunt and Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich jerking off on like a dead construction worker's body, I think. Oh my god. Is what I had in my mind. With this job, you could have put four kids through college in the 60s. Right.

But I do need you to use your Dennis Miller joke that you wrote. Well, this is later. This is coming up, babe. I got a Dennis Miller joke that you're going to fucking love. Anyway, so moving along. So that was step one of Damage Control Party starring Rudy Giuliani. Then he went on Judge Jeanine Pirro, who, if you remember, she was she was actually famous because of our boy, Mr. Durst, Robert Durst. Because I think wasn't she the prosecutor in his first New York case? Anyway, she is now like Trump's second best homie over there, Fox, next to Hannity.

And she kicks off her show because I think her way of sort of, you know, changing the narrative of this whole discussion is by just attacking the DOJ and just saying, well, the laws are bullshit and the DOJ is bullshit. So she starts off by just, you know, taking a shot at Jeff Sessions. Because he convinced a dithering, unsure, insecure, uncertain, spineless, timid attorney general, just appointed by the president to back off and renege on his duty to run the Department of Justice. Wow. I thought you were going to say uncircumcised when you said uncertain. I was like, dithering, uncircumcised.

And I was like, whoa, whoa, where is this going? Anyway, she said uncertain. Besides that, it's clear that they were setting up a show to just be like, Trump is not the problem. It's everything else. Right. So then Rudy comes on and they just have to, again, raise the specter of Hillary. This has been the strategy since, I think last week, Rudy compared the FBI. Again, this is the Department of Justice, the FBI.

These people who are supposed to be the right wing's friends. He called them stormtroopers last week. And that wasn't a Star Wars reference. No, that was a Nazi reference. Because it was May the 4th. Yeah. So. Yeah. He's, I mean, he's, again, he's losing it because he also, he was the one who was in contact, who had contacts at the FBI in New York, which people were claiming that that's how he had

information about what was going on with the Hillary investigation. So suffice it to say, he gets on. Janine does the alley-oop throw-up by talking about the DOJ. And then Rudy casts his distraction spell together with his homegirl, Janine Pirro. And they do Emilius Clintonus to, you know, let's take the conversation somewhere else. clintonis to you know just let's take the conversation somewhere else i mean when you juxtapose that against the so-called investigation of hillary clinton where she was basically given a warning she deletes she bleached bits she yeah nice nice nice poor little hillary we got to be nice there uh he's petting his hand his own. Nice, nice, nice. What do you pet like that? What have you,

that, anyway. God, Rudy, please. But I mean, this thing. It almost sounded like WWE patter. Right. Yeah, exactly.

Oh, I'll put her in the ring when I get her in the ring. Oh, you're a fan of a steel cage match, are you? So, again, that, so they just went on there

to spin their wheels and just deal in dumb, dumb conspiracies. And then he really capped it off by going to see George Stephanopoulos on ABC, I think, yesterday. And, like, you know, this is the crazy part because George Stephanopoulos is just, I don't know, using, like, facts and actual quotes from Rudy Giuliani to ask him about what he was saying. And Rudy just sounds like just a guy caught in a lie with no finesse. He's just like humming and hawing. So this is, again, part

of what Rudy Giuliani was trying to say, I guess, was that what he says isn't always words that are truth. Sometimes he'll speak as, let him explain. The other day, you also told BuzzFeed, though, that at some point after the 2016 election Michael Cohen had complained to some people that he hadn't been paid by Donald Trump and that so then you said Cohen met with Trump and told him and Giuliani said that we'll cover your expenses they worked out this $35,000 a month retainer after that so so the president did know about this after the campaign I can't say say that. I mean, at some point, yes, but it could have been recently. It could have been a while back. Those are the facts that we're still working on and that, you know,

may be in a little bit of dispute. This is more rumor than it is anything else. Well, that's what you said. You said that to BuzzFeed. But here's the, well, yeah, I mean, that's one of the possibilities and one of the rumors. The reality is... You stated it as fact. Well, maybe I did, but right now I'm at the point where I'm learning, and I can't prove that. I can just say it's rumor.

I could prove it's rumor, but I can't prove it's fact. Uh-huh. What the fuck? And just imagine... Rudy! Come on, my man! Is he stuck because he has to toe the line with trump then also the investigation so he can't like he'll implicate himself if he says i did so is that

why he's doing all this stuff yeah we were talking about this earlier trying to figure out like but he's the lawyer he's the one who's supposed to be telling trump not to like say off the cuff shit like this but instead he's just just free associating off the top of his head and i think they have figured out how to have a administration of you know criminals that are like built around this one guy who's always talking off the top of his head but then adding a second just completely chaotic mind into that who is just always on fox and friends just like fucking talking because like like the way that this administration and trump is like trying to navigate this controversy

is like that scene in entrapment where katherine zeta jones has all those lasers that she's trying to avoid right without like you know has to finesse all these lies and not get tangled and shit and that's a good lawyer be like my man this is what you're looking at so you're gonna have to walk through this motherfucker very carefully and then Giuliani's like a cat yeah this dude just does a fucking cartwheel thing he's like yeah fuck it man I don't know I may be hitting all the lasers like it's just so so disorganized and look at it now and now we look at it babe this firestorm I mean this brings me back to my Dennis Miller joke I mean we haven't seen a firestorm like this since Cersei Lannister.

Here's the Mad King's leftover stash to blow up the sept of Baelor. Cha-cha-cha. I mean, yeah, thank you so much. I got to be game with what I'm singing there. And that only took you like three days to write, whereas Dennis Miller, it takes him four days to write. Four days to write. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was good work. Did he come out with it, or are we still waiting?

I think we're still waiting, actually. I feel like I haven't heard it yet. I think he put out like a sample that was like so whack oh yeah didn't even like i looked at it and i was like wait this is the joke that he was taught like teasing four days in advance the trouble and it only had like five that only works like nobody gave a shit music you don't say like i'm about to drop some hot shit right drop a hot wasn't it something where he's like oh they should call her michelle wolf because she looks like beethoven the dog from that charles groden film from 1992 that was it yeah like it was like i had to check to make sure it wasn't like a parody account it wasn't it was so fucking whack and like just like so on the nose bad dennis miller joke uh but yeah calling women dogs is fucking super chill

and off awesome and of the moment uh one thing we do have to give rudy giuliani credit for though is this motherfucker gives the greatest stills just like the greatest screen caps you've ever seen he like goes between just like wild-eyed madman uh who kind of looks like one of my uncles but that's beside the point like into straight up looking exactly like he's doing an amazing impression of nosferatu like he has his hands right and everything uh he's just been a font of amazing screen grabs yeah it's like because when you look at the screen grabs you're like how the fuck did he even do that while he was talking right because like literally people who listen like getting at home, look in your rear view mirror if you're driving or a mirror, open your eyes as wide as you can. And then make like a face where you jump your bottom lip with your top.

He's somehow talking. He's weaving those kinds of facial expressions naturally to be like, well, I figure like he has the most denture confidence I have ever seen in my life because he just like he smiles so big, like up to his gums. But like his dentures are clearly loose in his mouth as he's talking. So it's very confusing. Is denture technology that bad? Because my grandfather, when he got his dentures, the shits were so big.

It looked like I don't remember the dentist, the menace movie when he knocked out and he put chiclets in there and the shit looked like just big ass tiles in his mouth right right can they not figure out the bite because i feel like everybody or i guess you just have to get used to having fake teeth in your mouth but i feel like that's like a thing like when the dentures come in the teeth get bigger you start lisping a little bit yeah come on finesse the installation yeah uh all right we're gonna we're way over time for. So we're going to go to our first break and we'll be right back after that. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.

elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume.

My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in a relationship with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 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 Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. Hey, I'm Bruce Bozzi. On my podcast, Table for Two, we have unforgettable lunch after unforgettable lunch with the best guest you could possibly ask for. People like David Duchovny. You know, New Yorkers have a reputation of being very tough, but it's not. It's not that way at all. They're very accepting.

Jeff Goldblum. Are you saying secret fries? Secret fries. What? That's what you're saying? Yeah. And Kristen Wiig. I just became so aware that I'm such a loud chewer.

My husband's just like, sometimes I'll be eating and he'll just be looking at me. I'm like, I'm just eating. Like, I don't know how else to chew. Table for Two is a bit different from other interview shows. We sit down at a great restaurant for a meal and the stories start flowing. Our second season is airing right now, so you can catch up on our conversations that are intimate, surprising, and often hilarious. Listen to Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds,

Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across

four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And real quick, during the break, we were trying to figure out why he has Giuliani doing it. Like, shouldn't he be able to hire better people? They don't want to work with him. Yeah, it could be that he's, you know, burned through all the people who would work with him

that know how to do the law. There's also, like, if you read Putin's philosophy on propaganda, his whole philosophy is, like, shifting ground of truth. Like, you tell 30 different lies about the same story and people just get exhausted and like that's how you do propaganda rather than like keeping the same lie people can just debunk that it's almost like the gish gallop that we've talked about on the show

before where it's like uh you know you tell a simple lie that takes like 30 words to debunk and in doing that you're making your opponent like use up more energy, essentially. That's like an actual debating technique. And it seems like if you are telling 30 different lies that they have to keep debunking and debunking, then like you kind of win because people just stop giving a shit.

No time to get to the truth of the matter. Right. But all right. So let's move on to, real quickly, a tweet from the president of the United States. Because West Virginia is going off the rails. West Virginia has a Republican primary going on. People think that the Republicans actually have a pretty good chance of knocking off the Democrat who is currently the incumbent in the Senate race. And former governor, Joe Manchin. Yeah, former governor, Joe Manchin.

And unfortunately for them, so there is this guy that we talked about last week, Don Blankenship, who is a convicted felon. He basically is a cartoon villain of what a Republican would be. He owned a coal mine in West Virginia where like actual blue collar people worked, like the type of people who represent all West Virginians when you picture West Virginia. He killed 29 of them through just neglect and not giving a shit about the fact that there were all sorts of health and safety hazards that were being brought to his attention. So he's like, yeah, he's a third rail candidate. Yeah, really not who you would want. But he, you know, we talked about the fact that he was running last week.

Well, a poll came out. He is currently up three points on the other Republicans. And also, they just know he has so many negatives that like in a greater state election, he's going to turn off a lot of people who were even thinking about leaning the other way. It's like, oh, the guy who blew the fuck the mind up a few years ago versus the guy who was governor and exposed him. Like they're just setting up this same sort of relationship again. Anyway, if you know any registered Republicans in West Virginia, please have them cast their vote for Don Blankenship so he can actually be in the race. Please have them cast their vote for Don Blankenship so he can actually be in the race because they know if with Don Blankenship as the Republican candidate, that makes Joe Manchin's defense a little bit easier.

I mean, he's still going to face a tough reelection bid. But with that said, Donald went on to Twitter and told people to the great people of West Virginia. We have together a really great chance to keep making a big difference. Problem is Don Blankenship currently running for, can't win the general election in your state. No way. Remember Alabama? Vote Rep Jenkins or A.G. Morrissey. Now, I remember Alabama. That was when you endorsed Roy Moore, the pedophile.

Right. And then he took the biggest L. And then you suddenly were like, well, you know, he was a loser the whole time. It's funny that he was basically warning people, don't make the sameophile. Right. And then he took the biggest L and then you suddenly were like, well, you know, he was a loser the whole time. It's funny that he was basically warning people, don't make the same mistake I did, I guess would be another way

to phrase that tweet. Now, granted, I am now getting, you know, horrible flashbacks to the 2016 election when we were all like, yeah, vote Trump in.

We'll smoke this loser. Vote him in instead of Jeb Bush. And yeah, that didn't work out so well. So yeah, maybe vote him in, but then eventually don't vote for him in the general election. And then eventually, please just keep Joe Manchin there. Yeah. All right. So the Washington Post put out a really interesting article on Trump's really sketchy golf club purchases. Not like purchases he made at a golf club, but golf clubs that he has been purchasing, like entire golf courses. Oh, I think like a club. No, no, no, no, no. Entire courses that are sort of these classic, you know, really beloved old golf courses in the UK.

He spent tons of his own money in the last decade when up to this point, his strategy had always been to spend using bank loans or investors. Right. He is on the record being like anybody who spends their own money is a fucking sucker. yeah no anyone who spends their own money probably has money right so um it just seems really like he was known as king of debt back in the day because he would always take out loans and spend that money rather than spending his own money and then he would bankrupt whatever he bought with the loans and then you know get out of the whole situation by filing for bankruptcy. Then declare bankruptcy! Is that how you declare bankruptcy?

According to Michael Scott, it is. The office. But so the Post looked into financial records and it turns out he spent $400 million in cash on these new properties. And nobody really knows where he's getting this like straight cash because yeah just straight up his own money it's like he's spending it like it's his own money to buy these golf courses in scotland and ireland and since he's bought them they've been such a failing proposition he's had to pump 164 million dollars more of his own money into keeping them running, essentially. Just to keep them up and running and not filing for bankruptcy.

He's had to just pump in loads and loads of his own money, which this is a really weird time for him to start spending his own money because his businesses were doing really badly. Right prior to this, he had, you know, had his casino business like go under. Right. Most of his financial worth is tied up in the real estate industry. And this is during the Great Recession. Right. Right. Remember it? Yes. When I just got out of college. So at this time that I sold fucking T-shirts because I had a useless degree and then I got into politics anyway. So people are wondering like where this money is coming from.

And like it doesn't really make sense, especially this is also around the time when he stopped being able to borrow money from actual banks. Right. Like American sources, like the people who used to lend him money essentially were like, no, you keep losing everything. You suck at business. They're like, also,

how the fuck did you get in here? We have your picture at the security desk. You'd be like, yo, don't even let this do in the elevator. Right. There's no loans on the record of him getting this money, but there are all these reports.

And in fact, the big like groundbreaking report I think came on golf.com, which is amazing. This is the, groundbreaking report, I think, came on golf.com. Which is amazing. This is the era we're in. They're the biggest. Yeah, exactly. The Washington Post of the golf community. You know, the muckrakers over at golf.com.

Right. More like the sand trap rakers. Am I right? There we go. There he is. Am I right? Fire, fire, fire. Let them know.

So one of their undercover reporters, not undercover, just a reporter. Yeah, just a guy. Yeah, just went and golfed with the Trumps. And he was curious about this. He was like, hey, how did you guys get all of this money? He was with like Eric and Donald together, right? Yeah, it was Eric Trump, his son, the one that SNL makes fun of for being stupid, which is not fair. SNL, listen to this story. He's really smart. So I'll just read you from the article.

The guy says, so when I got in the cart with Eric, Dodson says, as we were setting off, I said, Eric, who's funding? I know no banks because of the recession, the great recession, have touched a golf course. You know, no one's funding any kind of golf construction. It's dead in the water the last four or five years. By the way, it's not out of the ordinary for a golf course to be losing money. Golf courses lose money. It's almost like buying a professional sports team.

It's like a thing rich people do for fun. It's like a prestige thing. It's not a good investment if you're like trying to bounce back financially. And so back to the article. Yeah. Do you guys want to invest in my park that only like 60 people can use? Right. Exactly.

So back to the article, the golf.com reporter said. And so he asks him, like, how are you doing this? This is a terrible investment. Nobody would give you the money. No sane bank would touch it. And you were pretty sure you don't have the money. And so back to the article, he says, and this is what he said. He said, well, we don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia. I said, really? And he said, oh yeah, we've got some guys that really, really love golf, and they're really invested in our programs.

We just go there all the time. So that was three years ago. He reported on this, like, before any of the rushes. Right, it was, like, weird. Yeah, so if you weren't reading Golf Digest or whatever. Golf.com, no. Golf.com, sorry. You might not have known that, like, this Russia thing was coming down the pike,

but if you were you're probably like oh yeah this yeah trump has found some cool russian golf enthusiasts oh i mean yeah i guess i guess if you're like the russian mob or something right so under some money so his companies aren't publicly traded so they don't have to do public disclosures other than the casino company that he bankrupt uh so you can only look at like limited financing of the projects. But they were able to look at the UK ones and they show just enormous amounts of capital flowing into these projects from unknown sources. And on paper, it says it's just coming from the Trump organization, but it's hundreds

of millions of dollars. Out of thin air. paper it says it's just coming from the Trump organization, but it's hundreds of millions of dollars. And anybody who has looked at their financials says they aren't doing as well as they even pretend they are. And even if they were, this would not be a thing you could do. And so the dossier, one of the people from Fusion GPS, who it's worth keeping in mind, were doing opposition research. So take this with somewhat of a grain of salt. But it's just that all these grains of salt that we keep hearing about from them keep lining up with all the other facts we're learning. But so this guy, Glenn Simpson, suggested that it seemed like the golf courses could be a money laundering scheme for the Russian mafia, which would explain dumping

hundreds of millions of dollars into businesses that make zero profit and actually cost money. That's how you launder money is like, yeah, that's how you make money disappear. Is there a special slot for active? Yeah, there you go. But he said that it seemed like for the beginning part of his career, Trump had connections to a lot of Italian mafia figures and then gradually during the 90s became associated with Russian mafia figures. And it's just these are things that are coming out now. And it seems like, oh, well, this could just be people, you know, trying to connect dots with Russian things. But this is all stuff that people are finding out like years and years ago before anybody even put the words russia and trump together in their mind yeah it was the trump

saying russia together on their own being like oh yeah we got a lot of homies in russia with that could just toss us 100 million like it's nothing so the other thing that was interesting about this story was hearing about how he tried to like when the great recession hit and his like businesses went totally in the shitter how he was trying, like, when the Great Recession hit and his, like, businesses went totally in the shitter, how he was trying to argue, like, with Deutsche Bank, who had, like, a huge, like, he owed a ton of money, was trying to be like, well, actually, like, maybe the payments I need to make need to be smaller

because they say in this article, Trump's logic in that case, the 2008 financial crisis had crushed the real estate business so completely that it should be considered like an act of God. Right. Like that he was even, this is how well he was doing as a business, right? That suddenly you want me to believe that someone who was trying to say, oh, act of God in court because of how the state of your business is to try and get out of paying back your debt. Suddenly within a couple of years, you just got hundreds of millions of dollars shooting at your ass. And, well, look, it's good to have friends. Right.

Also, if anybody, I don't care where you're from, but if you have $100 million, you're just trying to let me hold, holler at me at Miles of Grey. I have a few golf course ideas. They're not exactly golf courses, but let's talk. Yeah. All right, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back,

we'll talk about some shit that isn't Trump or any of this bullshit. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the happiness lab podcast.

The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And in case people are wondering, like, where all this Russia money would be coming from, it's estimated that Putin is the richest guy in the world. It's just that he hides the money with his friends. There's a cellist, classically trained musician, who just happens to have three bill in the bank. He must be pretty good. Yeah, he's fucking great.

It's because he's Putin's homie, and Putin just holds his money and the people around him. Yeah, they say it's 200 billion is close to what Jeff Bezos is like, I think, around 130. Yeah. So Bezos is, you know, we talk about he's broke, the richest guy in the history of the world. Putin did a pretty smart thing by combining his dictatorship with being the richest guy in the history of the world. For real. Yeah. For real.

I guess we'll do a deep dive. Drinking game. You have to drink now because it's a deep dive. Yeah, yeah. On how he got all that money because it's actually pretty interesting. He came to power by taking down all these oligarchs who were like mafiosa types. And then so people were like, oh, that's great. You know, he's bringing an end to this crime wave decade.

But then he just took all their money. So he took all of the rich people in Russia's money for the most part. All right. Let's get into the real important news of the weekend. DJ Khaled. DJ Khaled! I did not follow this as closely as... We were all over it.

Oh, my God. Yes, we were so all over this story. Yeah, the internet seemed to be... Yeah. Well, I guess back in 2014, this interview that Khaled did came back, reared its head, where they were talking about performing oral sex on his wife, Nicole. And he said, I don't do that. Basically said, you got to understand, I'm the Don.

I'm the king. That's what he said when he was on The Breakfast Club. And he just said, it's different rules for men. You got to understand, we the king. Okay, bro. I don't think so. I don't know what like pickup artist. Yeah, or I don't know if it's, he's just a very selfish partner.

Yeah, must be the worst. Yeah. Just the worst person to have sex with. Can I? Yes, please. All right. So I was inspired. That's why I have two.

So one of them was more like BJ Khaled. Am I right, people? There he is. Shots fired. Let him know. Major key. And then this was the hot one. Oh, here we go.

This one set Twitter on fire, guys. Oh, shit. Well, yeah. And to get the fire extinguisher. Yeah, or the safety issue. DJ Khaled still makes his wife 69 with him, but he just eats a roast beef sandwich the whole time. Another one. Another one. Wow. Yeah. just eats a roast beef sandwich the whole time another one another one wow yeah i mean it was

it got so many people go so i forget who else tweeted they're like dude this motherfucker got lost on a jet ski for like hours you think he could find the clit i forget who tweeted that uh some comedian on twitter uh but yeah it's it got a lot of people talking. Even the rock had to fucking come in and weigh in. He had a take. He said, clears throat. As a man,

I take great pride in mastering all performances. This is probably a little TMI. I will now quietly excuse myself from this fun thread. But I guess he just wanted to let people know

he likes to eat also. But Anna Hosnier, super producer, you said you were very concerned. You said the rock, it might be a safety hazard for a man that strong

to perform oral sex on you. It's all right. I just want her to confirm that those are taken. And then it sparked off a furious debate over what is too strong to perform oral sex

and what the risks are. Does it break you apart? Yeah, I mean, it's like his jaw is crazy. The tongue is supposedly the biggest muscle in the body. But yeah, he got dragged. But, you know, I don't think anyone thought DJ Khaled was a necessarily attentive lover. Yeah.

Probably not. No. He probably doesn't take his clothes off during sex, I imagine. Like one of those. But we were talking about it earlier before the show. Like, it must suck to be the wife, because not only do you not get that, but then he's running his mouth like, yo, this is our dynamic. Yeah, right.

Hey, world. Right. I don't respect her. She's not an equal. Not only do I not do this thing, but I'm letting you know I don't do that thing. So she's getting hit twice. What does your wife think? Who?

Your wife, Nicole? Oh, you mean head? Yeah. What? Because I go like this, head! And she comes to the room, because I'm the Don. Oh, so I married an axe murder reference? Indeed.

Just go cry in your giant pillow. Anyway. Big sports weekend. LeBron redeemed the NBA postseason for me. Wow, yes. So I'm a Sixers fan. I never wanted to watch another NBA game after what happened on Saturday. Let's not talk about that.

They just did not play very well to the point that they were just throwing the ball over the court, like tons of turnovers. the point that they were just throwing the ball over the court like tons of turnovers steven a smith i was having flashbacks because he uh has come after my dad before and this time he was coming after uh the head coach of the sixers my dad's an assistant with the sixers and he's coming after brett brown being like he was out coached in every game and i was just like i'm gonna turn the nba off for the rest of the postseason. I just don't care. And then LeBron went and redeemed himself. Totally redeemed himself.

Just fucking unbelievable, man. Yeah. Not that I was ever in any doubt that he was one of the best players ever. But, like, it's crazy when you really get to see those people, like, at the height powers, because like shots going in become like foregone conclusions almost. And you're like, wow, someone can just will themselves to have a mastery of a game like this. He's added this fade away to his repertoire.

That is, I've never seen it before. I've seen height with a fade away. This is just so much horizontal. Yeah. He like starts at the free throw line and ends up like between the three-point line and half court when he fucking makes the shot and it goes in every time and it's just the craziest shot i've when did he start it seems fairly recent that i've yeah he made

six of them in like the second half uh of game two i think and then he hit a huge one like it was the second to last shot that he hit in game three. And then he comes down the court. The Raptors tie it up. He gets the ball at the other end of the court, brings it up and throws up this shot that from anyone else is garbage. Yeah. You're screaming at the TV.

What the fuck was that? He is running out of bounds at a diagonal away from the basket and trying to make a bank shot yeah and it was like what the fuck is he doing but because of how he's been playing in this season that he was supposed to be slowing down there was never any doubt that it was going in it was just like well how is this going in i guess it's gonna bank even though he's like at an angle, it shouldn't be possible to bank it. Uh,

but yeah, and it went in and they won and foregone conclusion. Foregone. Don't even bother. Like I said earlier, it's like, you can't even defend it. All you can do is make the gesture as if you're defending it.

That's the best you can do. I don't even think fucking Dowson from street fighter with an arm that could just keep up like, Nope. Somehow he would even get around that. People were shitting on Kyle Lowry. He's the Raptors point guard and like his positioning on that play was really weird. He was like under the basket for

some reason. But at the same time it's like he's just realistic about the fact that like what the fuck are you going to do? Like there's there's nothing. This guy's NBA Jam style on fire. And Donald Glover had a good weekend too. God't he didn't he just prove that he is a just multi-talent i mean we always knew he could he could make shows and can make

music but yeah snl he was super funny and yep wow posted one of the season's best episodes of snl the fucking migos i just saw this morning the therapy thing teeth some of those ad-libs in the background were just killing me i feel invisible visible uh yeah i mean yeah he god and then he released a video for his new song this is america that is the most i've seen people care about a music video yeah it sparked i I mean, look, talk about starting a debate, a discussion. I mean, there are people even, yeah, it's such a conversation starter. I think the video is amazing.

Yeah. And Hiro Murai, who directed it, who does most of his videos in a lot of Atlanta, and he does Bayer. I mean, he's just an amazing director. Shout out to him. Shout out to the Japanese directors out here. But yeah yeah the video

my god it's beautiful yeah it's incredible uh when was the last time people cared i guess beyonce like beyonce videos people care about lemonade i think people forget about how powerful the medium is yeah you see a lot of cookie cutter trap blah blah yeah exactly in the cup and then it's really refreshing to be reminded of what you can do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there are only a few directors who are like when they make a video that I'm like, oh, I'm going to see that. Omarai is one of them.

I think Roman Gavris is another one who I really like. Like when Michelle Gondry was making videos. Yeah, like Spike Jonze and stuff. Yeah, yeah. They took it and they got that like, yo, you can really do something cool when you marry like really good music

with really good imagery rather than just like flex fest, which is like most like most the artist also has to want to though yeah it's kind of a shame that uh some just would rather go cookie cutter or stunting rather than hey let me try to say something or yeah and god i mean there are people who are like see man he he's not like kanye at all blah blah blah and i'm almost like dude stop bringing this Kanye up they're not the same person they're very different people and let Donald rock because god I mean he's just a

I thought the video was great man I just I remember watching it on the toilet because that's how I get my news and my girlfriend Her Majesty was like what are you doing in there because you've just been blasting one song over and over and I'm like this video I'm like watching trying to look for the cut points and things just a really great video really great weekend yeah it really was uh if you're not a sixers fan

wait but tell me about the derby because again to the people who were at the kentucky derby and they're like you should really go i was like they got weed there and they're like no i'm like i don't know why i asked that but like as if it's like a rap show but I realized for free or like what do you mean? I mean like if you could smoke there you could rock with the weed over there you probably have to go in the infield have you seen the way they dress?

I don't think that's why when I look at it I'm like why the fuck would I go to the Kentucky Derby so that is the grandstands there's also an infield that is just so the first year that I went to the Derby was very similar to this year's derby in that it was pouring rain. And I was in the infield, and it just turned the field into like a slip and slide.

And so everybody was just sliding around on their shirts, like on their stomachs. And it was disgusting, but it was a lot of fun. like stomachs and uh it was disgusting but it was a lot of fun um and then yeah you can some years what once you feel like becoming an adult uh you go dressed up uh men just like wear you know suits but women wear wild hats and shit it's pretty dope uh can you wear a fascinator is that good enough or it has to be a big hat what is a fascinator my man what is a fascinator it's like what the queen wears it's like a half hat oh yeah a fascinator my man what is a fascinator it's like what the queen wears it's like a half hat oh yeah wild feathers and shit does that count too as a like i think so it's not technically a derby hat right because you could rock it because they wear like the big

ass melania trump like white hat right the melania trump white hat as if that's her thing but i was just like reading an article floating melania trump article about how sad her life is right now it's pretty funny it's a crazy drunken experience that like I the year Smarty Jones won I was standing in line behind this like 50 year old gentleman who

turned to me he's like I've been up for two days and I finally know who's gonna win this I was like well this guy's like crazy but like you know he's dressed up but so is everybody at the derby and then it's hard to tell who's going to win this. I was like, well, this guy's crazy. He's dressed up, but so is everybody at the Derby. It's hard to tell who's an actual drunk mess. Right. He was like, it's going to be Smarty Jones. Then people started walking up to him as we were standing in line.

They were like, yo, what's up, man? This is the best lawyer in Louisville. He's the man. He was apparently this respected attorney. Wow. I was just like, I'm betting on whatever the fuck he's like the man. He was apparently this respected attorney. Wow. And so I was just like, I'm betting on whatever the fuck he's betting on. And I ended up winning money on Smarty Jones. And that year, I rode home from the Derby in the back of an ice cream truck

because it's really hard to get out of there because Louisville is not built for having the biggest party in America necessarily. Wait, so you were just like, hey, you heading into town? Yeah, essentially. Which way are you going? Right. Yeah. They're like, don't eat any of my bomb pops back there.

Caught a cold, but it was worth it. From all the mudsliding? Yeah, from the mudsliding. Is the partying in the grandstands, do they get wild in there too? Or is it like subdued? I mean, we did. I don't think you're supposed to, but we did. One of my friends ended up throwing a chair,

but he was just a loose cannon anyways that year. The most well-dressed hooligan is throwing a chair. You can tell people used to hang out with John Rocker. Right, right. Yeah, that's the homie. But yeah, I recommend the Derby. It's worth seeing one time in your life. All right, well, look, I think obviously once the show hits critical mass

and then House of Orcs is like, you could go anywhere. We're like, we're doing Derby week. Louisville. Zeitgang Derby week. Zeitgang Derby week, live from the infield. It is a whole week. They have Thunder over Louisville. It's like one of the biggest firework shows.

Oh. Yeah, it's kind of dope. I guess it's so weird because it's so abstract to me growing up in la that the kentucky derby was just like a white people thing oh yeah like where i was just like the hats okay it's not a part of the course like yeah for me in la yeah like i know about drinking in the streets and are like sort of holidays based on like immigrant communities in la or whatever and like LA doesn't really have that kind of pronounced thing where I feel like everyone's like,

yo, are you going to LA for blah, blah, blah. Right. I will say it is very white. So I don't know. Well,

what are they going to run me out on a rail? They will not run. No. If I wear a MAGA hat, they're gonna be like, Hey, get this guy into the box. That's right.

Which I might do. That might be a performance piece with how I'm treated at Kentucky Derby with a black lives matter shirt on versus how I'm treated at Kentucky Derby with an all-Mackadon. If like twins just went to a place just dressed differently. Right. The exact same. Wow, that's a great social experiment. Cool.
