Starting point is 00:04:11 All right, you know what? From the top, Nick. But I felt compelled. Here we go. We're also joined by my dog, Finn, in the studio. Yes. If you hear what sounds like someone snoring while awake, that is my dog. He does not breathe so good.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Billy, what did you say about him? He's never seen anything right in front of his face? Yeah, his eyes are pretty far apart. Kind of pointed in opposite directions. Yeah, so you could startle him if you walked right in front of him. He's a mess. Was he Cavalier King Charles, you said his name? Yes, he is.
Starting point is 00:04:43 He has a Cavalier attitude. He does have also kind of a regalness about him. Yeah. For how goofy he looks. But like one of those- Court jester. Or just one of those like a baron who like has gout. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:56 They're like the rich, like when it really was a rich man's disease from not doing anything. Well, because- Yeah, he's like the second or third. He's not going to be king. Yeah, yeah. He's like, nah. He's like, nah, nah. Well, because the Royals were all inbred, and he kind of has that vibe to him. His eyes are bulging.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Is he purebred? Because aren't a lot of purebred dogs on the inbred sometimes? I think he is, yeah. Well, look, we'll do a DNA test, and we'll get to the bottom of it. Exactly. Well, Philly Wayne, we're going to get to know you even better than we already do. But first, we're going to tell our listeners what we're going to be talking about today. Unfortunately, we are going to be talking about what Nintendo character the President's Dick looks like.
Starting point is 00:05:34 What? Off the top, we're going to be talking about the... No one flinched at what you just said. I know. Everyone's just like, yeah. Everyone's like, yeah. 2018, y'all. That's where, yeah. 2018, y'all are a rat.
Starting point is 00:05:46 That's where we are. We're going to be talking about the responses to the Kavanaugh allegations and how the right is responding to this whole story because Drudge doesn't really seem to want to talk about it. Why? I don't know. We're going to talk about the Emmys real quick. We're going to talk Elon Musk and who he is going to the moon with. We're going to talk about Sean Penn's thoughts on the Me Too movement for some reason.
Starting point is 00:06:14 All that and more. We don't have to talk about that. But first, Billy Wayne. I bet it's not a great take. Oh, it's amazing. It's one of the more thoughtful. Did he fix it? Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. He got to the bottom of the more thoughtful. Did he fix it? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Oh, yeah. He got to the bottom of it. He thought he did. Of course. What is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I heard someone casually talk about installing a pool. So I immediately thought the way they said it was like, I don't think they understand what they're saying. Because they're installing a pool?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, they're like, yeah, we'll just put a pool in the back. And they're like, it's not that much, it's not that big of a process. And I was just like, I didn't say anything in the moment. You know what I mean? I was like, I know that I don't know enough to truly say, but what you said doesn't sound right.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And the way you're saying it seems like you're gonna to have a headache. But I don't, like I said, so I immediately, when I got back home, that's what I looked up is how much it costs to install a pool in the process. That's like 50 grand, right? 40 grand? Depending on the city. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:22 The LA, they say you're going to look around at least 21 to 25. Okay. And then, you know, it goes up from like yeah crazy amounts we have to think about the pump infrastructure and then where you're at yeah yeah and all that stuff so it was like fascinating too well was that someone with a lot of disposable income then or were they thinking like it's a five thousand dollar affair i think that's what the yeah because that's what a hole and cement it and boom yeah Yeah, because the way they said it, I was like, and it was also like, I don't feel like you have that much money to gradually throw in a pool. Yeah, that would be no big deal. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah, we'll just throw a pool in. Yeah. I know it does seem like. They might have been thinking above ground. Yeah, because there's so many pools in LA. I know what they were thinking. They're like, it can't be like, they're everywhere. Everybody has a pool.
Starting point is 00:08:02 They were built in a time when that was, like, that was 50s or 70s, 60 years ago when they were just like, yeah, yeah, put a pool there. Yeah, yeah. If you get a house, you get a pool because there's not a lot of space. Right. A TV costs $100,000. Yep. We're on the same page. This is what we spend our money on.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And that's what the Trump tax cuts are all about too. You know, the $5,000, you can remodel your kitchen or whatever the fuck Gary Cohn said. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He said remodel your kitchen yeah with the five thousand dollars do you have any idea how much money those motherfuckers will charge you anything that's gonna be the error that five grand is gonna be the error in what he estimated right exactly yeah uh sorry we went over by $15,000. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:45 You got a waterfall. What is something you think is overrated? Discourse. Discourse? No, I'm just kidding. I think winning an argument is overrated. Okay. Very mature.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Because you, no, and it's not fun. But I do think winning, no one truly wins when you try to win. You know what I mean? Right. Because usually it's two people that already are engaged with each other, have some kind of relationship. Right. So when you start arguing and you want to win it,
Starting point is 00:09:27 that's basically saying, like, I want them to feel bad and know, and then this will affect our relationship. It's a power move more than anything. Yeah, right. Right. Well, because someone will eventually be rhetorically vanquished. Yes. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:39 And then they're going to have to be like, ugh. And the truth of the matter is no one truly wins an argument because of perspective. Right. Because everyone's perspective of what's fair is different and what's wrong is different and what's right. You know what's a bigger power move? Letting the other person win.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Oh, I do it all the time. And then being like, oh, yeah, you're right. And I'm like, gaslighting you. I don't think you're right. You just passive aggressively leave evidence that they were wrong in various places. Just leave it up on your computer.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Do you even need to know? Yeah, that's the thing too. Why do I need to win this argument? Because I know I'm right and this is wasting everyone's time. It's just like I need this person to know that I know the truth. That's just for your ego and yeah without it it's all for your ego because they're never going to be like
Starting point is 00:10:29 oh you're completely right i'm less of a person than you know right thank you that's what my ego wanted to yes you're like thank you now i can go on about my day i'm the best yeah that happened i remember especially too when i was engaging more with like people on the right in the tea party era when i was working in politics when like you would just I there's a part of me who's like I need to dismantle this fucking person right and then I was also kind of like a I already know this is not gonna work but also I just have to feel like too I have to respect that this person is that is just in the place that this person is and like I can't I can't take it on myself to be the person who's going to be like, let me bring you over to this side so you can understand it. And you just kind of have to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:11 It was a lot of banging my head against the wall until I sort of learned that lesson too. Especially when things that were, like the stakes seemed higher with what I was discussing. And then now I just, get in an argument with me. I'll just roll over every time. Well it depends on what you're arguing about. Right. And sometimes I enjoy arguing, like the process of it. The repartee.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Well like introducing new ideas to, like quote. Right, yeah, yeah. Like sometimes if you can do it without emotions, which is impossible, but if you can quell those emotions it is very interesting and you do learn a lot about each other yeah through doing that so there's nothing wrong with it but trying to win yeah the winning silly no yeah yeah like unless you're in like a debate club or something like that that's fascinating to me like how debate and you're like well you're like well who truly wins and're like, when you watch those things, no one wins.
Starting point is 00:12:05 You're just judging on technique. Right. How fast you can fit a paragraph. Do you remember who the best debaters were in your high school? No. In my mind, they were all the stoners. Oh, really? It was wild, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:16 They're always secret like, yo, that dude gets fucking high after school. Because then he can think about different perspectives. That's why you're good at debating. Because he speaks so fast in two minutes. I feel like people need to believe that it's their decision to accept a fact or to change their mind. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, like anytime you are winning in any satisfying way, it's basically some version of you like moving someone's perspective or believing you are. So, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah, I agree. You just need to sort of say your piece and then cut bait if they're not coming along for the ride. Well, I do this in my act now. You should check me out live. I'm really great. You will go to heaven, right, if you go to your show? That is true.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I'm still touring on that. Yes, if you come to my show, it's usually around $10. You will get into heaven when you die. Many. Guaranteed. Multiple orgasms. Yes. I can't guarantee the orgasm part, but I've heard heaven's great.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Well, not at the show, but at some point. Not at the show. No, absolutely not. I do not guarantee anyone will come at the show. But when you die, you will go to heaven, and if you don't, come see me, and I'll give you your money. Fantastic. Right. So it's a pretty good guarantee. So what were you saying? When you die, you will go to heaven, and if you don't, come see me, and I'll give you your money. That's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:13:26 So it's a pretty good guarantee. So what were you saying? Well, it's like the people that think they can shock electrically the gay out of someone. Right there, when you say that, you're like, well, we're done having a conversation because I can't. Where you're coming from, I can't ever get to. We're on different planets. Yeah, so we can't have this conversation, because that is, it's scientifically not true, and there's facts and proof about that,
Starting point is 00:13:51 but you'd be like, nah, I think it can happen. You're like, well, we're done. See ya. So, okay. Scientists have a liberal gay agenda. What is something that you think is underrated? Subtly sneak down. What is underrated?
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah. God damn it. You know what? Football. If I'm being... It sucks. It sucks that I have to say it, but I was watching it this weekend, and I just said to my fiancee slash baby mama. Oh, whoa.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Congratulations. Thank you. I didn't know if that was public. I didn't realize if we said it if we were recording no earphones on when i told you i wasn't even listening what it's out wow it's not the first time why aren't you excited i'm like i'm very excited but i also know what is coming right you're in the preparation phase so yes i am on no sugar and doing hot yoga every morning that's not a joke because just like preparing your body yes really yeah because
Starting point is 00:14:46 touring's harder than it used to be because i'm a little older so i have to get in better shape and then yeah i know what's coming so when you're on tour what do you are you riding a bike from venue to venue no but just traveling man like oh it's really starts to wear you down well like being on an airplane twice a week is tough because you literally traveling you know 405 an hour and then you're in different time zones at different times and your sleep schedule is different okay your adrenaline's up for no reason at eight o'clock has anyone ever studied why air travel is so fucking exhausting because it just is like something because your body's traveling it's like
Starting point is 00:15:20 when you're when you drive to san francisco why after six hours you're tired and you just sit there. It's because your body's actually moving 80 miles an hour the whole time, even though you don't feel like it. I've looked into it. Really? Because it was that thing of like, why am I getting so tired? Yeah. And it's because you don't realize you're doing stuff. And also dehydration, they say, at high elevations.
Starting point is 00:15:43 And also just the fucking sound. The farting. Oh. What? Yeah. No, that too. Yo, I say, at high elevations. And also just the fucking sound. The farting. Oh. What? Yeah. No, that too. Yo, I fart so much on the plane. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Do you fart a lot on the plane? Yeah. My diet's all right right now. Have you ever taken a half empty water bottle on with you and it just crushes and then expands? Or you take the top off and it's like all the gas comes out. That's what happens inside of me every time I'm on a plane. It is a fucking nightmare. I feel safe because I know it's pure gas
Starting point is 00:16:14 and it won't smell. I indulge the farting. It does smell. It does smell. The flight attendant also comes up to me. You just did the gay shocking thing of fucking farts. No, you can't smell my farts. No, these are stealth.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It's an airplane. You can't smell farts. They're stealth. That's doesn't. I mean, like, they'll have gas, but they have more like a poo preview type fart. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Oh, I know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:16:39 You know what I mean? This isn't a trailer to a film. Yeah. This is like a one-off sketch. It's just like a release of tension. It's like, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Hey, you need to do something. Flight attendants crop dust us if we're rude to them on a plane. I've been crop dusted by every person on it. I mean, yeah, that's why I don't sit in the aisle. Speaking of children traveling with them,
Starting point is 00:17:01 not great. Underratedly bad thing. I mean, and people get mad at the parents yeah you know shut the baby up and it's like i travel all the time so i should be really annoyed but it's i also have a kid so it's like yeah it's not easy and it's the best way to get them from here to the other place and it's most of them are good my son he's nine now and he's always been really good at traveling. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:26 Oh, it's been a blessing. Even at two? Yeah. I took him at like nine months. Jackson's trying to find a hole. What do you mean? I took him at nine months, and he was like great. He was flying the plane? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I fell asleep, and he had crawled up, and he slit one of the pilot's throats. Uh-oh. And went, shh. I overlooked some of his behavior. I'm the captain. Because I was like, hey, the murder was bad, but you do know how to fly this plane. That landing was feather-touching.
Starting point is 00:17:54 What's impressive? What kind of football is underrated, though? Oh, yeah. We digress. I just think that, okay, that's what I was saying to her. I was like, I love the game. Yes. I love it.
Starting point is 00:18:06 It's fun to watch. It's fascinating. It's an interesting game. It's exciting. There are glaring problems that I just wish we would address and fix. Right. Because it is like people are like, you got to ban it. And boy, I'm like, I can't.
Starting point is 00:18:21 I can't. I like watching it in the fall. I've done it since I was born. My dad's a football coach. I didn't play in college because I recognized it was dangerous. Right. But I played and enjoyed it. But that's my thing is like if they would just come out and say,
Starting point is 00:18:36 hey, if you play this professionally, there's a huge chance your brain's going to get fucked up. Right. But you're going to get paid a lot. So can you sign this thing? It's like when you go up in one of those giant things where it swings you in like Myrtle Beach. Right. You have to sign your name on that thing and be like, which is even dumber because you're paying them and signing a pay.
Starting point is 00:19:00 So I have a hard time with that i mean i think they should just come out because they're worried about back pay of all these motherfuckers right right which is like it's like the va they should take care of them that should be a system you all made all that money off their bodies crazy amounts of money yeah but the owners are you know extremely wealthy modern day plantation owners-day plantation owners. Modern-day plantation owners. The metaphor fits too well. They're among the least generous people in the universe. So you were watching NFL football this weekend?
Starting point is 00:19:32 I was watching both of them. I like watching college football because it's more fun. It's sadder because none of them are getting paid. Some of them are getting paid. Shout out to the boosters. I mean, yeah, all of them of them i mean i went on the tiger walk in high school at auburn and we weren't allowed to shake people's hands because they because people were sliding the money oh like for sure they would or there was a chance that they
Starting point is 00:19:57 would it's like if you get your hands shook it's because it's money well there was this definitely a certain part of the walk where we were for sure. Oh, wow. You know, because there's fans, there's little kids slapping your hand, but then there's a certain part where you're just like, you could tell, fancy people. And then our little tigerette was like, hey, do not shake anyone's hand right through here, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:20:17 And I was like, yo, I'm for sure not coming here. Why can't I? Yeah, right. Just let me shake some hands. That guy just has a briefcase taped to his hand. He's like, nice to meet you, shake some hands right that guy just has a briefcase like taped nice to meet you sir briefcase glad and they think they're helping the you know it's like people they don't even know through the you know it's just like yahoo's from alabama being like i slipped him a 50 because we need a punter you know what i mean right so they're getting money all over the place yeah what's a myth what is something that most people
Starting point is 00:20:44 think is true that you know to be false? Oh, that I heard a friend of mine say that he was like, that's why I like sports is it's the best always come out on top. The best come in. I was like, no, that is not true at all. And he's like, it's not political once they're out on the field. I was like, that's not true at all either. How do you think those teams are for? Everything is political. And they're like, well, no, it's the best athlete're out on the field. I was like, that's not true at all either. How do you think those teams are for?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Everything is political. They're like, well, no, it's the best athlete to get on the team. I was like, no, dude, I've played at a pretty high level in certain sports. To get to a certain level, yeah, it is. You have to be a certain amount of athlete. But after that, it's mostly politics. That's what I think is a myth that like especially when money's involved it's not oh yeah it's all done after that yeah uh all right we're gonna take a quick break and
Starting point is 00:21:33 then we're gonna talk about the president's day Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered.

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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I 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.
Starting point is 00:24:20 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. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is la plática, like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z.
Starting point is 00:24:50 We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast,
Starting point is 00:25:25 Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And this morning, we were excited. We thought a new Mario Kart game Was out when we checked Google Trends Twitter
Starting point is 00:25:49 Mario Kart's trending Toastel, that would be a reboot With Twitch, yeah Mario Kart's hot right now For sure And then we clicked it And it turns out What was it?
Starting point is 00:26:03 It's because Stormy Daniels, in her upcoming book, described the president's penis as being like that one character in Mario Kart. Yeah, she, well, the whole thing. Yoshi, weirdly. It's clean and, no. She describes Trump's penis as, quote, smaller than average. But not freakishly small. Smaller than your average Papa Twist cabbage.
Starting point is 00:26:29 And then she put, quote, he knows he has an unusual penis. It has a huge mushroom head, like a toadstool. I lay there annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart. Wow. It may have been the least impressive sex I'd ever had, but clearly he didn't share that opinion. God.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Stormy is... I mean, yeti pubes is my favorite thing. He knows he has an unusual penis. This could be the explanation, the behind the music for every billionaire out there. Yeah. He knows. Yeah. He gets that he has a weird dick.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Almost definitely. And also for you to say that, he would have to acknowledge the weird dick. Right. Because she knows if she's saying, oh, he knows. Right. He's like, okay. He like took it out and was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yes, I think that's the part of the conversation you don't want. Like you don't want to be in the conversation or a conversation being had about you where someone says, he knows he has a weird penis. Right. Like just that,
Starting point is 00:27:32 you're just like, ah, this is worse than the weird penis I have right now, I'll be honest. Yeah. Check out my porcini. But it also explains more so why he pays for so much sex.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Right. That explains it to me because I was always curious because he's so cocky and arrogant about how he looks good. And he like when he was younger, he was like a good looking dude and, you know, an athletic looking. So the amount of sex he paid for that always i was always curious like that doesn't go together because that's such a thing that's connected to people like that to dudes like that is i don't have to fucking pay for it you know what i mean yeah yeah but now it's like i if you always had a weird mushroom dick and you were also very egotistical yeah you'd be like hey don't tell anyone about the thing.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Right. The what? The what? Exactly. Yeah, you're a good one. Plus, you can only fuck so many of your friend's wives. I mean, come on. Like that trick where you trap them into admitting
Starting point is 00:28:36 Well, you can only come on to them like a bitch so many times before people call you a bitch. What do you think is Yeti pubes? So, I've been thinking about this all day. All night and all day. I think it must be that he is un-groomed and also- Graying? Yeah, graying and that there are like some twigs and leaves caught in there.
Starting point is 00:28:57 He just drags them through the bush. Lost climbers. And there's like ice on there too. It's frostbitten. Ice like a climber's beard. Right. Like a climber's beard. Right. Like a climber's beard. It looks like his pubes live north of the wall.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Why is it so cold down here? Yeah, you just go down there and your breath starts like being appearing. There's a Nepalese man down there. He's like, don't come in here. Turn back. Turn back. Wonkette. Was it Wonkette?
Starting point is 00:29:24 It was a Wonkette, yeah. They were like, we don't know exactly what Yeti pubes means, but this is a picture of Trump's mother's hair. Okay. And it's amazing. Her hair. Mary Trump's hair is- Absurd, memorably absurd hair runs in the family.
Starting point is 00:29:41 They're like, oh, we have weird hair. It is the answer to the question, like, what the fuck is wrong with him? And then you see an interview with his parents, you're like, oh, we have weird hair. It is the answer to the question. What the fuck is wrong with him? And then you see an interview with his parents. Oh, okay. I see. Got it. Got it.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Got it and got it. I don't know what her hairstyle is either. That's a wild comb over bouffant. It's the emperor has no clothes kind of shit is what that is. I don't care for Donald. Can I just say that's what Gucci and Versace's doing right now? What's that? It's just like all their style is some emperor's, the emperor has-
Starting point is 00:30:12 They're fucking with people, you think? It's just, some of it is so over the top and silly and looks insane. Oh, you were just at New York Fashion Week, right? I was not there. They don't invite me. Anymore. Not with these takes. Anymore because I'm like, what is this? And I can't stop giggling
Starting point is 00:30:29 at anyone taking fashion as serious as some of those people take fashion. They're closed. They cover up our private parts is mostly what it is. Yeah. Well, I think some fashion is interesting, like from an aesthetic point of view. I know. I know. We know. We're making jokes, but of course, we live in the culture where people go, he's too myopic with his point of view. I know, I know. We know. We're making jokes, but of course, we live in the culture where people go, he's too myopic with his understanding of fashion. Yeah, it's like I'm making a joke for comedic purposes, but fashion is silly. Yeah, well, I think at that level,
Starting point is 00:30:55 when people are like, I was brought to tears by a jacket. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, by a jacket. That kind of taking it to... Yeah, fashion's cool. I'm not knocking it, but you know. But I think that's the funniest version of taking it to... Yeah, fashion's cool. I'm not knocking it, but, you know. But I think that's the funniest version of taking things to... Like, anybody that takes anything too serious is funny.
Starting point is 00:31:10 It's funny, but when it's about clothes to me, I don't know why that's the funny. Like inanimate objects. And it's like the lines. But I guess art, too, you know, if you look at art. Without it, oh, that's funny, too, because people can be over the top. Oh, you used to see, man, I remember as a kid,
Starting point is 00:31:23 just because my dad being an artist, the people I'd be around, was like yo what this people this woman was like crying or this dude was crying over like a fucking sculpture or something i didn't get as a kid but i get it you know you're moved people are moved by different ways i was moved by a fucking uh commercial the other day so who the fuck am i it is yes and i was explaining to somebody the other day because they're like i was talking about some commercial directors and my friend was like why do you care about that and i'm like because those are going to be the dudes that right and right those dudes can do in 30 seconds yeah all the emotions they can make you feel in 30 seconds yeah that's crazy yes the nike ads are oh well the one the mexico
Starting point is 00:32:03 one with the women the mexico nike ad with the women? The Mexico Nike ad with the women running through the streets. I was like, yo, go. It has the best final shot of any ad ever. I was like, y'all go do it. We'll link that in the footnotes. Any of those athletic commercials, if they're that
Starting point is 00:32:20 good, that by the end you're like, I think I'm going to go hit someone. I cried at the PlayStation commercial that called they call it second life where like I have or like another life where people like they all kinds of different people oh yeah when I play video games like I command armies yeah man and this dude is like disabled man I see like the power of another world anyway so Trump's dick looks like a mushroom. Trump's dick? Moving on. A mushroom. I love that.
Starting point is 00:32:46 By the way, the only person who's ever convinced me that fashion matters is Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. That speech she gives where she's like, you think that that blue is unimportant, but... And then she explains how the color blue that someone's wearing trickles down through all these different fashion seasons and shit. It's a great speech, people. Go YouTube it. Let's talk about the Kavanaugh allegations because there are just some wild takes coming from the right. Laura Ingraham is, so on her radio show. Radio show?
Starting point is 00:33:24 Well, it was on the, so on her radio show, she just took a bunch of calls from people. Oh, that's where it got, okay, got you. That they were sexual abuse victims, and that because they were sexual abuse victims, they could tell that Christine Blasey Ford was making up her allegation to get attention. Yeah, and it was just a very disgusting way to try and
Starting point is 00:33:46 discredit this woman by using these other women's trauma i mean yeah this so she put a super cut together and be like well listen to people who have actually been victims of abuse and how they listen to the people we believe right exactly so this is laura Laura Ingram being so fucking classy. There were a number of women who called into my radio show today, Juanita, who had actually been victims of rape and other sexual assault. This is a montage of what some of them said. When I was 19, I was sexually abused. I know I've never forgotten the situation. And I cannot believe that this woman suddenly remembered now. I was raped 40 years ago, and I'm absolutely furious, and I know that this is a last-minute ploy again by the left. Having background myself of being a rape victim, you do not go about this the way this is coming out.
Starting point is 00:34:40 This is for attention, and that does a horrible service to people that have actually had everything taken from them i used to be a democratic i will never vote democratic again she used to be a democratic yes that's how you can tell yeah that's how democrats refer to themselves it is a weird thing to immediately be like this woman who's saying this, I've been, this has happened to me, and the way she's going about this is this is purely about the left. Right. Well, that's a weird leap.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Yes. Yeah. Well, this is the thing the right does all the time, too, and then if the issue is racism, then they have people of color come out and be like, well, this isn't racist, and I'm black, so you should trust what I say. Like, you know use whatever the the group in question is and then find people who are aligned with that thinking to discredit someone who's has a divergent
Starting point is 00:35:34 idea of how life works well and it's always to me it's not a real conversation it's like right it's clearly you're you're not being honest about your position if you have to go get this person to qualify what you're saying. Right, right. That's that you're not being honest about why you're doing what you're doing. Yeah, you're just trying to collect sound bites. That's the whole problem, my problem with the right in general. And I'm like I say this every time, I'm somewhere in the middle. I don't really lean left I mean I do when it comes to progressive issues but I thought we had that worked out that all
Starting point is 00:36:13 people were people but we didn't it turns out so it turns out I do lean to the left now because that because that sentiment has somehow is a left it's a left thing that all human beings are the same right and I'm not saying like oh that we can all dunk a basketball what I'm saying is like we all have the same rights yeah and we should have dignity we have dig we can lead dignified lives yeah be treated with dignity and respect yeah yes and then but I think that this whole argument about the left had to bring it to this because the way the right was playing the game if for no less for lack of a better term that's what this is right this whole right and left getting on getting power is a game they're playing a game with these rules and the right were breaking
Starting point is 00:37:00 and playing real shady and loose with the fucking rules about what they're presenting. So the left had to come in and be like, fucking raped a girl when he was 17, all right? Or attempted to rape. Yeah, or whatever, you know what I mean? So now the left doesn't want to play this card, but that's all they've been given. Well, because they were like, you know, we could also get him on the stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:23 It seemed like he was committing perjury. And all this other stuff, but we're not allowed to do that. Or you haven't given us any of his documents. You've hidden all this stuff that we're not allowed to talk about now. So now we have to destroy this nice doctor's life. Right. And it's something that she had been wrestling with since July when she had seen that his name was being floated to be a potential replacement for Justice Kennedy. And that's when she began trying to figure out, like, was really wrestling with the idea,
Starting point is 00:37:51 according to like the Washington Post reporter she was talking to also of knowing, like, if I do this, this is going to put me and my family just center stage and be on the receiving end of such insane insidious shit right and lo and behold yeah now you have people just at this point now trying to discredit your strangers calling in being like hey this happened to me and she's lying right like what yep that's a weird thing yeah no it is and that's odd because if you are a victim of abuse why would you perpetrate that sort of same thing that keeps women from wanting to come up like oh this is for attention like that's a very odd argument yeah to to deploy against somebody who is clearly not doing this for the attention just feels that this person is in the ascendancy and could reach a place that is not good for you know well it's also funny that laura
Starting point is 00:38:43 ingram is like i mean people that don't have their minds made up about the left and right aren't listening to Laura Ingraham's program. Right, right, right. So those people calling in aren't gonna be like, no, she's telling the truth. That's why it doesn't surprise me that they identify with the right more than they identify with a fellow victim.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Did she provoke the calls? Did she provoke the calls? Like did she ask the calls? Oh, I'm sure. Because that's not, that to me also isn't something that a montage of people just decided to call. Right, yeah. Right, that's not. And that'd be odd, we'd be like,
Starting point is 00:39:17 hi, if you're a victim of sexual abuse, please call in to tell us why we shouldn't believe this person. Exactly. Like what? Yeah, it's like there's some questions there. There was also a Kavanaugh spokesperson who was on CNN who kind of raised the question of whether it is attempted rape, as she seems to think it was, or rough horseplay.
Starting point is 00:39:39 That is, you know, we don't really even need to go into it. The CNN anchor was like, wait, I don't think anyone was saying rough horseplay here uh but you know it was i don't know that seems to be like they're making multiple arguments one it didn't happen i know for a fact it didn't happen that's brett kavanaugh's argument and then there's the other people who are like it happened 36 years ago he was a drunk teen he was drunk and she's probably misremembering it. And, you know, it's just like a lot of different arguments. Yeah, one acknowledges that it probably did happen, but it's like, well, but if it did,
Starting point is 00:40:13 it's because he was 17 and drunk or whatever. Right. And they're like, well, that shouldn't disqualify him. It is weird that he's their guy. He's their moral dude. Right. That you can't kill babies and you can't you know like that he's that dude that's gonna come in allegedly and then the same people that need him to come in and be the moral crusader or like hey you's drunk right hey right oh well because in the end it's weird it well, because it's not really about the morality.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Yeah, I know. But yeah, exactly. But the charade is all about trying to project this when really they don't give a fuck. They need to get this person who is going to favor on the side with corporations to deregulate shit and crush unions or whatever. And it's like, OK, maybe he fucked around, but that's not the point. We just need this other conservative vote in the Supreme. Yeah, we need these crazies to have our back. And I mean, crazies. And I'm sorry if you think that i'm being a dick but if you're so crazy about abortion that that's the only thing you vote on you're crazy that's a cra you are crazy you are
Starting point is 00:41:17 not a sane person because it doesn't make sense because you're usually pro-death penalty. So that negates me ever talking to you in a logical fucking way. Chloe Angel tweeted, she was drunk. This rape is her fault. And then he was drunk. This rape isn't his fault. And I feel like that definitely sums up the two sides of that. So clearly this is such a big story. This is going to be the headline on Drudge, which is like the main, like we talked about before, it has more traffic than the New York Times. So it is sort of low. This is something he loves to focus on,
Starting point is 00:42:06 ratings dropping on anything that- Liberal award shows. Yeah, liberal award shows, the Oscars, the Emmys, the NFL, which is now like a liberal event somehow. Well, that's because the kneeling, see what happens, was I think that's the connection they're trying to make. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Well, he just wants to destroy the NFL because they wouldn't let him be a part of their club. Right. That's the whole reason. Trump. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's the whole reason.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Yeah. So anyways, that's what they're focusing on. And I guess the Emmys did happen. So we can briefly. I wonder, though, if Drudge, right, I think even we've seen from time to time there are some things that are so bad, even on Drudge, they can't deny how bad the optics are. Like when Manafort is pleading out or is found guilty or whatever. Yeah, the headline was like, this isn't good.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yeah, it was like, uh-oh, you're fucked kind of thing. Trump hell week or hell hour. And I think even for Drudge, they're like, they know, even for Drudge, it's like that's kind of an indefensible position to try and come out and be like, well, he was 17. Right. I think even seems like a bit too much. I don't know. It's odd that they just kind of buried it lower and lower. Yeah, it's still out there.
Starting point is 00:43:14 It's just three different headlines that are all, you know, different takes on she is going to testify or maybe she won't. And, you know, here's something that casts it in a favorable light to Kavanaugh but yeah I mean another thing is that this whole story that like ratings drop lower and lower is just like that happens on every event in every channel for the most part like there's just a downward trend because there's more and more shit on TV. More and more of it is on streaming platforms. So all ratings are going lower and lower. Did you watch Emmys?
Starting point is 00:43:54 I did not, but... I saw clips on Twitter, and I couldn't get excited about the Emmys. I don't think I've ever been excited about the Emmys. I don't watch them. I get excited about many. I watch the Bears and the Seahawks. That's what I end up watching. Before I changed it to the Bears and the Seahawks. I watched, before I changed it to the Bears and the Seahawks,
Starting point is 00:44:06 I turned the TV on. It was on the Emmys, and I saw SNL was on stage, like the whole cast, and Lorne Michaels was accepting the Emmy and somehow framing both Saturday Night Live and NBC as a network, as like underdogs who nobody believed in like nobody said that this network of nbc would ever make it but here we are winning this emmy and the emmys are on nbc so face uh is that what he was kind of saying i mean it was hosted by the snl dudes and there were snl cast members or former SNL cast members
Starting point is 00:44:45 like sprinkled throughout. Yeah, like Bill Hader won. Bill Hader won. Yeah, Mulaney won. Former SNL writer John Mulaney. Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen were both like had multiple bits throughout the show.
Starting point is 00:44:59 So yeah, it seems like that was just a weird angle for him to take. But that is a good example of why it's hard to communicate struggle with people. Right. Because to him, he's like, we overcame a lot this year. And you're like, you're all multi-millionaires. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:18 He's out here playing Drake, worst behavior. Yeah. You're all fucking never done. And you're on a show that's never gonna get canceled right so you don't have to worry about that you are a machine you're the machine maybe he was talking about when he left snl for that little bit yeah he's like yeah and they said you know 30 years so lauren i mean from the bottom now i'm the executive producer of SNL, of The Tonight Show, of Late Night with Seth.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Like everything, basically. With, I think, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He's a producer on that. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, he's crushing it. He owns comedy. So, Portlandia,
Starting point is 00:45:57 he did that. He produces this podcast, actually. Just all comedy. We just found out. What? And we're now one of more.
Starting point is 00:46:03 And if any of you think I'm talking negatively of him, you are wrong. No, absolutely. He's a genius. Demonstrating, well, more than anything, demonstrating how much he is not losing. No, he's not losing. And if he said he'd overcome, I guess he did.
Starting point is 00:46:16 I guess he's right. In the recap that I listened to on NPR this morning, Game of Thrones was also considered an underdog because they won and, like, Handmaid's Tale didn't. That's what I thought. I mean, that's like Star Wars people calling themselves nerds. Right, like nobody thought. It's the most popular movie of all time.
Starting point is 00:46:35 You're not a nerd. But Game of Thrones, I guess a bunch of people who were part of big shows were not expected to win and then won. So that was like people were surprised by that. Hey, I'm glad. I am glad that Henry Winkler won, though. Yeah. He was actually really good. He's so good in Barry.
Starting point is 00:46:55 And Bill Hader, too. I was really impressed. I was really shocked when I watched Barry. I was like, what the fuck is Bill Hader? I heard like really emoting like a motherfucker. Oh, I always had a feeling that dude was talented in another way. I didn't deny his talent, but when you really see it, it was really like, I was like, wow, okay, this dude is really good.
Starting point is 00:47:13 He might win an Emmy. Hader was like one of the sketch people that the first time he was on screen on SNL, you're like, who the fuck is this dude? Because he could emote as other human beings, I would believe. Have you seen Skeleton Twins? Yes. Dude, he's so good in that. Yes, and it's not great.
Starting point is 00:47:32 No, no, it's not a great movie. But it is really notable for how good his performance was. Yes. My impression of Barry at first, I was like, is he not trying for the first episode? And then it really was sort of a very nuanced performance where by the end you were like, holy shit. Yeah, because he was shedding shit
Starting point is 00:47:51 even as his character developed in the season. The dude who should have won was his Marine buddy, who was a wild dude with a shaved head. Also, Anthony Kerrigan, the dude who played the... The bald kid? The bald dude. That dude is so fucking good, man. He deserves every piece of metal there is.
Starting point is 00:48:07 That dude is hilarious. He's like, oh, you still mad at me, buddy? Yeah. That kind of disposition is weird. Yeah, that's great. Black Mirror actually won, which I had never seen the dude who created Black Mirror. Charlie something, Charlie Britton guy, Booker. Charlie Britton guy? Heer. Charlie Britton guy?
Starting point is 00:48:27 He's going to write an episode about that. About podcasting. Yeah, yeah. Getting your name wrong and what happens. Podcast, yeah, like got in your brain and like you went like fucking crazy or something. Yeah, all right, yeah. Print it. Print it.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Like what if a mirror, yeah, stopped working and it just went black? I think it'll be good if we get the most talented actors on the planet to do it. Yeah, right, exactly. Yes. People are like, isn't that show good? You're like, yes. I mean, the budget seems to help. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's so good, though. It's like seeing a simple sketch on paper where you're like, this isn't that funny. And then, like, moderate. You're like, let me turn it up't that funny. And then like moderate actors are like, it's all right. Yeah, I was right. It's fine. And then like talent come on.
Starting point is 00:49:12 You're like, this is the funniest sketch I've ever seen. Right. Yeah. Exactly. All right. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

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.
Starting point is 00:51:40 It's right here in black and white in the prints. A 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.

And we're back, and it is worth mentioning uh i kind of glossed over it because it's just one of
Starting point is 00:53:30 the drudge headlines but there is still uncertainty about whether dr blazy ford is going to actually testify on monday uh and make it like not like she might not be able to make it, but there are questions about whether lawyers will be present, whether her lawyer should speak for her, just because it is a very, I mean, it is one of the most precarious positions a human being can be in to be like at the center of this political debate with the entire world, or at least all of America,
Starting point is 00:54:03 just like looking at every micro gesture, trying to determine if you're a trustworthy individual. Somewhere Anita Hill just went, thank you. Yes, exactly. Actually, Anita Hill wrote an op-ed today suggesting that the senators should get training before they ask questions or cede their time to people who are experts at
Starting point is 00:54:26 examining this sort of thing i would say that probably a lot of the senators need training in how email works in general if we're just being honest about what they need training in right like yeah like they don't even under like from what i've heard is like there's a large group of senators who are so fucking old and have been there for so long. They don't understand a lot of technology. Oh, no. And how people communicate now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:51 So think about that. And then they're going to ask a lady about sex. Right. Ma'am, if you knew your vagina was in your pants, why did you enter the office of a man with a penis? No, yeah. I mean, you could even tell when, I think it was maybe Orrin. No, Chuck Grassley patted himself on the back because he said some of the Kavanaugh documents were available as a PDF.
Starting point is 00:55:19 And it was like, they're there as a PDF. And I'm like, okay. Oh, no. Yeah, let's have a parade now. So Elon Musk, I guess there as a PDF. I'm like, okay. Oh, no. Yeah, let's have a parade now. So Elon Musk, I guess there's a- Good transition. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:55:31 I've been working on it. Elon Musk has a trip planned to the moon. Yeah. Is that accurate? We found out they finally booked the first private trip to the moon. Okay. To land upon the moon. Okay. To land upon the moon. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:45 And do it not since the Apollo missions. I thought they were just going to circle it and then come back. I think that's the first one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not landing yet. No, no, no. But they want to see the moon. They're up close and personal.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I mean, that's cool. And then so yesterday, or was it Monday? I think they, so there was, we found out who this person was. And it's this Japanese billionaire, Yusaku Maezawa. It's my voice, cracks. He's the 18th richest man. And he's basically going to go like up with a bunch of artists. He's like a huge art collector.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Like he bought like, he has like Picassos and like Basquiat's and stuff. Like he's, he loves art. He's fun. Yeah. So he's, he's bringing eight artists to the journey. He's going to kill eight artists. And they say they're going to see the moon up close and the earth in full view and create work
Starting point is 00:56:32 to reflect their experience. That's a dope thing to do with that. Hey bro, I'll take you. You can see the moon. But you've got to make me some art. Moon art. I would say it would be inspired. I would be inspired if I saw the moon up close. Maybe you could be one of the artists. I don't it would be inspired. I would be inspired if I saw the moon up close. Maybe you could be one of the artists.
Starting point is 00:56:46 I don't want to be. I can say that. Well, maybe. Yeah, we should have a campaign to get a comedian also on that flight. I would say some funny shit there. Be like, hey. Just making a joke out of it. Oh, so Kubrick got a lot of this wrong.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Yeah. Just stuff like that. There's no wind up here. There's no wind up here. Yeah, I think a lot of people were also you know talking about how this you know there needed to be a little bit of money for spacex to kind of begin developing uh one of their rockets a little bit further so by having this guy tag along you know it helps add a little money when is coffers and i think i had 2023
Starting point is 00:57:22 oh see now my son won't be old enough. Like, they need to be grown and like have a, their first job or something before. I'm like, I'm gonna get,
Starting point is 00:57:30 I'm gonna go see the moon kids. Right, right, right. And they're like, no, you're a dick. You're like, you know what? Yeah, you're right. I need to raise you first.
Starting point is 00:57:36 It was funny though. They were interviewing like, it's so funny how things become more and more attainable to non-experts. Like, you know, everything's kind of become easier to access.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Like if it's art or photography or making music, like there aren't those barriers. The democratization of art. And like now we're seeing it with like space though. And it was funny to hear like astronauts be like, yeah, what do you think about this? Like, yeah, I guess, man. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:57:57 I spent my whole fucking life to go there. Like, yeah, everybody can go now. Sure, I haven't had carbs in 17 years. But yeah, they're saying, like, I think people believe that Maezawa's spending between $102 million to go up there. $100? Between $100 and $200 million. I'm sorry, $100 and $200 million. $100 million and $200 million.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Anywhere between $100 and $200 million to get him and eight friends to take a trip around the moon. But, like, how much is an economy class ticket? That's what I was going take a trip around the moon but like how much is an economy class that's what i was gonna say yeah do you think they're like it's 100 million and he was like you're not trained well he's like how about 200 million okay he's like okay yeah he's like you want to bring eight friends yeah exactly yeah well it's yeah also shouldn't there be like a checklist of like you should have done this stuff on the earth first before we take you to the moon? Like, have you been to the top of Everest? Right.
Starting point is 00:58:50 No? Then you need to go do that before we take you to the moon. Don't just one, two, skip a few, 99, I'm on the moon. Yeah, exactly. Yes, exactly. I think you should go like, hey, have you walked the whole Appalachian Trail? Ooh, shit. Well, I'm sure there's going to be a hilarious.
Starting point is 00:59:04 I know a lot of dimmats that have done it. Oh, shit. Well, I'm sure there's going to be a hilarious... I know a lot of dim-bats that have done it. Oh, really? Yeah. I'm sure there's going to be a hilarious process wherein they have to train all these, like, artists, these fragile artists
Starting point is 00:59:14 to, like, get ready for written space. And they're just, like, dropping them into the bottom of the world. It's like a critique. There's pools in America. Will there be gluten?
Starting point is 00:59:22 Right. Gluten. I don't... I can't eat certain paste foods. I have celiacs. Is that going to be a problem in space? I feel like, again, this could be a Christopher Guest movie, too. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:31 It's the tracking the eight eccentric artists and a Japanese billionaire as they go to space. Remember how we as a planet shoot those eight people up into space and we watched them die? Remember that? Oh, the Challenger? No, well did we did do that as a like a nation right and i was remember that day yeah because everyone was excited because the school teacher was going school teacher they got all the schools involved yep and then we learned about death in second grade yeah i can still remember what that plume looked like when
Starting point is 01:00:03 it went up i remember they made there's like this, it was like two miles, there's this little factory, tiny factory, they made little parts. And they made one of the parts that goes on the space shuttle. And that was like a big deal before. The O-ring? No, it wasn't that, but that was the thing afterwards. They're like, did that park? Yeah, shit.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Oh, like in your town they were making that part? Yeah, it was just like this one. And that like a big deal before yeah the challenger went up it was like yeah one of the parts came from over there off right oh deep draw road i read a book that did sort of a deep dive into the decision making process of that it was uh this book the wisdom of crowds that shows like how crowds like you can use crowds to like guess things really really well and like how market forces work but then it used that as an example of how not to use crowds and it was just basically like a couple dudes who were in charge of the whole committee were just like forcing it through and like when that thing exploded everybody on that committee knew what
Starting point is 01:01:03 went wrong they were like yeah there's a problem like we need to delay this delay it and like there were just people who were just like nah we push push push push we got to hit this deadline and also there hadn't been a major disaster they were just like no we're we're good we're fucking nasa we we're crushing your bro and the guys in apollo 13 were like hey yeah it got not hey, this seemed like a disaster to us. We didn't get to go. Another brilliant transition. So Sean Penn has thoughts on the Me Too movement, fellas. Came up because in an interview with he and his co-star on an upcoming Hulu series,
Starting point is 01:01:43 she said her performance was informed by the Me Too movement, and Sean Penn disagreed with her version of what her performance was informed by. I think what she said was bullshit. Right. I disagree that that was your motivation when playing this character. The Me Too movement is designed to divide men and women, was what he said.
Starting point is 01:02:12 So, cool. Wow. He says it's too black and white, and it's really good to just slow down. I don't think that's the problem of Me Too, is it's too black and white. I think it's a little muddied is the problem right dude it's so meta the fucking like mansplaining to this his co-star like what her motivation was in the context of right wow he also has some problematic shit with how he behaved in relationships from from the 80s also.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Well, I mean, it's... Also, he has that video with Kid Rock that everybody needs to watch because that will change how you view Sean Penn for the rest of your life. You know what changed? Well, there's a lot of things that should change the way you view Sean Penn. If he's not acting,
Starting point is 01:03:02 you shouldn't pay attention to what he's doing. It's the same as, I feel the same way as Kanye. It's like, he's an incredible music producer. Right. When he does that, I will watch him.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Right. Other things, it's like he's bullshitting with the whole world and it's funny to me. Right. Not when he's tweeting like weird ass, he's like, you shouldn't be excited.
Starting point is 01:03:20 People can be manipulated and then you're like, what the fuck? No, sometimes he lets his toddlers take control of his iPhone and and it's pretty funny he sounds like one of those dudes who's like tries to explain to you why they dropped out of college and why that actually made them smarter wait he is that dude oh yeah he made an album very funny wow that's so i just as i realized i was wrong about that but. Broke, broke, broke.
Starting point is 01:03:46 But you know what I'm talking about? There are people who are really arrogant about it. Actually, you know, then I just started reading books, and I realized, too, what were they going to actually teach me? Yeah. And you're like, okay, I just want my pizza, man. Yeah, exactly. It's like, yeah, I did that, but I became a comedian.
Starting point is 01:04:04 So I realized, oh, they can't teach me how to do this. Right, right, right. So that's what I want to do. I have a question, just to segue to nothing, because this is a thing that's been trending recently. Do you guys eat mayo chup? Do I eat mayo chup? That is a complicated question.
Starting point is 01:04:20 I don't even know what it is. That is a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise together. Oh, I have. It basically fouls an island without relish. Yeah. I don't even know what it is that is the combination of ketchup and mayonnaise together which i basically thousand island without relish yeah i don't dabble i mean it's not something i do on the reg but it's something i've done i think it's good on hamburgers really okay certain fries it'll mask like oh i know what i used to do it on like you know back in the day before dave died how good wendy's used to be. Yes. Wait, what happened after Dave? They just changed a lot of shit. What's AD? Tell me about Wendy's AD.
Starting point is 01:04:48 It's just the quality, the sizes, everything went down. Oh, really? Oh, without a doubt. You know what's funny? I love Wendy's. I didn't live close enough to a Wendy's. Yeah, you were really like, yeah. Like, take me now.
Starting point is 01:05:00 But yeah, I didn't really eat Wendy's until AD, the after Dave era, really. See, I was pre, like, because it was just better. There weren't many Wendy's around me. See, I think it was, like, probably the best fast food in our hometown. So my dad was just like, we go to Wendy's because it's good. Wendy's was like, and it fell off when Dave died? Without a doubt, it did.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Wow. It was like the In-N-Out of the, like, late 70s, early 80s. Like, it was a local-ish burger place that then came out and people were like, it's got square burgers, man. And they were never frozen. Yeah, never frozen. That was his thing.
Starting point is 01:05:31 All the burgers were never frozen, which is what In-N-Out's thing is too. But I used to, when I would go to Wendy's, the fries, if you got them right away, were really good, but if not,
Starting point is 01:05:43 they would just... And so that, the mayonnaise thing was a good. Oh, a little boost up. Yeah. A little cover. Yeah, well now, you know, just asking because Heinz is really going full court press with his mayo chups. Yeah. It's trending.
Starting point is 01:05:55 America's real fat, so it'll work. Yeah. They love dipping. It just seems too sweet to me. I don't know. I don't. It's pretty good. I gave up sugar.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Oh, that's right. Because you and your Zen parental preparation. Yeah, also because diabetes just runs straight through my fucking family. So it's like I'm better just chill with it or I'll get it. And I like sugar. It's a problem. You know what I mean? What do you miss the most? Right now, nothing because your body doesn't truly need it.
Starting point is 01:06:22 But I'm going to – I've made a deal. Sorry, my dog is... Okay, dying. Slowly dying. He is 12 years old. Hey, you're not dying. Ice cream. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:35 It's the best. It's so fucking good. I was just talking yesterday, or I think on Friday, how I basically ate a half carton of birthday cake ice cream. Yeah. With the freezer door open, just blasting me in my underwear. Do you know Henry Zebrowski? Yeah, I know who he is.
Starting point is 01:06:50 I don't know him personally. He and I, I invited you to it, but you couldn't go because you're in Mexico. Is it a High Times Party thing? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was in Mexico. It ended up not. We walked in and walked out.
Starting point is 01:07:00 It wasn't what we thought it was. It wasn't as fun as it was. A High Times Party is never what you think it's going to be. Yeah, well, we wanted it to be one thing and it was not right uh but we were talking about like oh i can't have ice cream in my house or i will just eat whatever it's like the amount that's in there i'll just eat it and it'll be gone because it's awesome it's weird how much i like i'll go to places where they're like oh i'll get like three scoops or whatever. And I'm like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:26 By the end, I'm like, that was pretty good. That felt like a good amount of ice cream. You put a fucking carton in front of me. I'm like, this shit won't stop. Until it's done and you're like, oh, can we lick it? I'm like, wait, if I scrape the cardboard enough, will that become ice cream? Do people know about Grater's, the ice cream brand? No.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Ice cream company. It's from Kentucky. I just realized they also sell it in Ralph's now. What's it called? Grater's. G-R-A-E-T-E-R apostrophe S. Do you know Mayfield's? Do you know about Mayfield's? No. It's an East Tennessee
Starting point is 01:07:59 milk, it's a dairy company. Because that's how it used to be before. It was just like whatever the local dairy was yeah now we're into ice cream now too because people seem to like that and that comes from our cows um raters okay graders has this one type is black cherry and chocolate chunk oh it is so fucking good man isn't that kind of like cherry garcia though yeah it's similar but it's probably been around for before that. Yeah, I think a lot of ice cream was stolen from each other.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Right, yeah. And they just use different names. They're like, we'll call this Cherry Garcia. This is Moose Chunks. They're like, well, this is Elk Chunks. Right. Grater's has been around for 145 years. Yeah, that's what it was. And I think it was just a local thing when I lived in Kentucky that people around there got.
Starting point is 01:08:44 Damn, and they got the low glycemic jump off too for you if you you know gotta watch your sugar well they got the uh high the protein shit that uh high what is it halo top yeah it's oh yeah what's halo top it's and i heard about it from a doctor she was like she eats it because it's hot it's just high protein there's not as much sugar or added sugar or whatever. Oh, okay. And the calories are lower. It's still fucking ice cream, but it tastes a little different. They put the calories in big, like that is the biggest writing on the thing.
Starting point is 01:09:16 It's like 350 calories in this entire tub. See, and that's when I'm like, no, hit me with that. What kind of chemicals are in this? Exactly. I want to go into diabetic shock by then, right after. Well, that's my thing, too, is if I want to do ice cream, why would you? Yeah, don't. It's like drinking Michelob Ultra.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Right. It's like, what are you doing? Right, right, right, right, right. If you're trying to drink beer, drink beer, man. I like water that tastes bad. Yeah, but I do CrossFit, too, man. Right. And those commercials make it seem but I do CrossFit too, man. And those commercials make it seem like I'll get some pussy.
