a married couple they were holding hands just watching Hannity together I wish this plane would go down honey cause at least we'd be together we wouldn't have to see this and fuck the coronavirus we're gonna add that in i think i've made it clear before but someone suggested that i was perpetuating the myth that it's the same as the flu i think we specifically debunked that myth but if i said anything that would lead you to believe that it's uh as safe as the flu it's like a more potent deadly flu actually. Actually, for the record, you're saying it's a new bubonic plague.

happy you guys are here yeah thank you for having me to do in minneapolis whilst here um i guess we have a couple hours a couple hours i think the best moves is probably like good food we got famous things like juicy lucy's right is matt's bar the only place to get it honestly this is going to be a controversial statement but matt's bar is my it's not my favorite place to get a juicy lucy it might be the original sure the original it might be the place where i bring people from out of town to go first but the second time they come to town i might bring them to the blue door pub i might bring them out to st paul to just like skip the juicy lucy all together oh and get uh go to the saint dinette and just get

like a burger yeah uh there's some really really solid really well-made burgers in the city it's a good food place yeah juicy lucy is a burger that has cheese in it that's all i had heard but molten it's like it's one. But molten. Is it steamed too? It's not steamed. I wish. I saw that on some TV show once. But no, it's just really hot. It's just a burger.

So you got to. That's what somebody said. They said they're like, don't eat it right away. Don't eat it right away. People get really excited and they're like, oh, it's cool. And they take a bite in it and then they end up like burning. They're just right underneath their lip. That's how you know somebody ate it too quick.

They're like, huh. Yeah. The hot soul patch. Maybe I'll rock one. The red soul patch? Who was it that had a dyed red soul patch? I feel like it was a guitarist or something in some band. Oh, no, it was me.

Sorry. Yeah, I was going to say it's... Mudvayne? That was you a couple hours ago when I laughed at your red soul patch. You're like, final shaming. That's right. I thought I was going to try something new for the people of Minneapolis.

Well, POS. Do I call you the rapper POS? Steph, I think. P? Steph. Nobody ever calls me. Product of society? That was one of them.

There was a lot of different things. That's a lot of words. Yeah. When I first gave myself the name POS as a 14-year-old oh my god yeah i was 14 i didn't realize just how bad it was going to eventually be yeah that's solid branding though yeah it worked out yeah i mean it sort of worked out there's a lot of people that won't check out my music right off the bat yeah well that's what is this pos yeah and that's like i'm just gonna post him alone but yeah that's what came up first right yeah all right steph well steph we're gonna get to know you a little

bit better in a moment first we're gonna take our listeners through a couple of things we're talking about the gif jif saga is coming to an end uh in my mind there has always only been one answer to this question I was there at the streamies when the guy who invented the gif came through and was like it's only pronounced jif and I was like dude you invented yeah I was basically

like you invented like a piece of code you're not like the expert on communication go fuck yourself it's gif uh and we're gonna talk about joe biden poor poor joe uh just you know misspeaking talking about how he's running for senate we're gonna talk about south carolina's votership uh demographics uh we're gonna talk about dr ronnie jackson uh pills as he's known dr pills bruh dr pills dr feel good uh he's the guy who used to uh run through the obama administration air force one

with uppers downers lefters writers whatever you want baby whatever you need uh to get people ready after a long flight oh your arms itch i gotta? I got a pill for that. I got something for that. You're going to get real horny, though. It's weird. That's a byproduct. Byproduct? You are going to be horny. Also a byproduct of the daily zeitgeist.

That's not true. We're also going to talk about Trump's weird, like there's some weird like slippery slope. Constant slippery slope. Fascist creep going on. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about a new feature on Netflix that I'm probably

too excited for a well adjusted person to for. We're going to talk about the possibility that the Olympics get cancelled. We're going to talk about the possibility that the Olympics get canceled. We're going to talk about the sad, sad news that Harvey Weinstein was having chest

pains. All of that and plenty more. But first, Steph, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, man. Too many. I just started looking like five minutes ago that was coming and one thing that is probably telling about who i am is the fact that i have

6 000 open windows if you yeah i am i'm like a king tab over here nah man my tabs are all closed i get my tabs are open so yeah I close my apps when I use them. Religiously, I'm always making sure I got one app open. If I'm using a podcast or something like that, that'll be running. Then I use what I'm using. As soon as I'm done, I turn everything off. Do the double click.

Yeah, but the tabs, I... Double click? What do you have? A home button still on your phone? Yeah. Still got the still got the home i'm an internet study man so uh i i'll just read a few of them and you can yeah yeah let's hear uh i got karate kid villain edit karate kid villain edit karate kid villain edit yeah there's somebody who's made a i think it's about 22 minute version of the movie Where Daniel looks like a total dick He is a total dick

He shows up in town He shows off He totally immediately starts flirting with this guy's girlfriend The guy beats his ass Because what are you doing flirting with my girlfriend And then he has a black belt jump in And kick his ass for him Fight his fights for him

He wins exactly one fight in that movie. Yeah, there's a great edit of the movie that just kind of paints him as a super villain. Also, I watch a cartoon show. I watch a lot of cartoons. I watch We Bare Bears. It's a really good show.

What's We Bare Bears? It's called We Bare Bears. It's a cartoon that is about a black bear, brown bear, and an ice bear. And sometimes they focus in on a second grade genius who's a little girl that is younger than everybody else because she's a little genius and her only friends are these bears. Anyway, they have a part where they throw back to a New Jack swing. They make a New Jack swing song. A lot of cartoons will have songs all the time.

Yeah, yeah. It's usually like grunge or some rap. This is like a straight up parody of New Jack. So I've been Googling trying to find just a clip of that. Wow. I can go on and on because there are literally hundreds. That could be the rest of the show. But let's ask you, what is something you think is overrated?

I think Red Bull. Red Bull. I something you think is overrated I think Red Bull Red Bull I think Red Bull is overrated In what sense were you relying on Red Bull for a while I mean my underrated is Yellow Red Bull probably Okay Yellow Red Bull is delicious

It's like the only soda That I can mess with in any way at all these days And the rest of them I can mess with in any way at all these days. And the rest of them I feel like taste like garbage. And it's three times less caffeinated than just like a normal cup of coffee. So I kind of can't even mess with it unless it's the yellow one. Wait, what's less caffeinated? Just regular Red Bull?

Yeah, all Red Bull. It's not that caffeinated. It's not. It's got the taurine though. So it like adds that extra little like makes your heart weird is that the shit that makes it taste like baby powder i don't baby there's an i've never thought about that to red bull but there's like an ending note as we say in the you know sense world there's like the ending note is has like a i don't know it's weird as medicinal i've never thought of it as baby powder.

I used to eat a lot of baby powder, so maybe that's what it's triggering. I feel like they all taste like sweet tarts. Right. Like shitty powder sweet tart candy. Yeah, and I think maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's the powder thing I'm relating to. It might not be that it's baby powder,

but there's like this presence of something that's like... Yeah. I don't know. I think if it's something that's like, I don't know. I think if it's not the yellow kind, I don't want it at all. Yeah. Because yellow, but you're just drinking that as a soda. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

As much as I will have soda these days, it'll be like one yellow Red Bull. Oh, you have a treat. Oh, yeah. It's a treat. Do you have, is caffeine part of your creative arsenal? No, I gave up. I kind of just, I drank coffee for years and years and years. Wake up, go to the coffee shop, order something.

And then by the end of the day, that same coffee that I ordered would be two thirds full sitting in my cup holder in my car. And I was just like, I should just stop ordering coffee. Oh, you're like habitually just getting, yeah, you're like, I have a sip and I forget about it. Yeah, well, yeah, I would start my day by going to a coffee shop and spending like six bucks. Got it, got it, got it. But I wouldn't, I don't drink coffee. I didn't really need that boost of caffeine. Right.

I just stopped doing it. So now I'm like after dinner, if I have like a nice big meal, I'll have like a cup of coffee. That kind of thing. Don't just fall asleep at the table. Yeah, like an adult yeah like yeah like i used to tease people about the first time i felt like i was fancy as fuck i had an espresso after a dinner yeah because like i saw like rich people doing it i was like all right i'm gonna do that exactly but i'm so caffeine insensitive still went home and fell asleep immediately right and i thought it would put off espresso is not as caffeinated as regular coffee but how many what if i drink like three at once three espressos

would probably get you to a normal cup of drip coffee i'm glad i have you as a resource yeah yeah well light roast is the more and more caffeinated yeah um oh yeah oh because the more you roast it the less caffeine that's left in it gets pulled out. Okay, great. I'm learning more and more. Right. But yeah, I can't leave a cup of coffee half full. That's the thing. I was always that way with alcohol, which is probably why I can't drink anymore. You're like a completionist? Oh, yeah. Like watching somebody just leave a drink half drank during a meal, I'd just be like,

what are you doing? You're like, you bought that. I'm like, yeah. Mine's empty. And I'm like, like are they gonna think it's weird that i'm ordering my fourth well they just left like two sips out of theirs like on the table uh so if you find yourself doing that maybe uh talk to somebody do you wait but with you if it's like any drink that you're leaving half there like your compulsion your impulse to complete it is born out of it's a waste of money? No, I think it's just the... Like if you get it,

you got to finish it. Oh, got it. Because that's like when you're like, I'll finish my plate of food out of getting drilled into my head. Don't waste our money on food.

I'm totally opposite of you. Yeah. I had to like switch to just getting like a shot and just having that. The idea of carrying around a drink Just blows my mind that people do that They like order a whole drink

With a little napkin around it and then walk around with this drink Yeah for what Just get a shot Hands down If you need another one And your hands are free to do dance moves I did always drink things like quickly Like including including soda or what, like whatever I was drinking, I would drink it quickly.

And so for a long time I was like, no, it's not that I have a drinking problem. I just drink too quickly. I drink everything too quickly. Nah, it's not the alcohol, dude. It's still where I'm drinking it, bro. You should put any liquid in front of me, bro. Whoa, what the heck was in that i see man wow anyway hey don't we gotta take your kid to soccer uh all right what is something you think is underrated

underrated oh we just did that i did both oh yeah you did that's right uh yellow rebel that left you wanting more though huh you're like can't just be that maybe finally what is a myth what something people think is true you know to be false or vice versa oh um joe biden gives a shit about black people joe biden has worked to help black people joe biden sat in and did uh apparently he's out there claiming right now that he as a 17 year old went to like a sit-in protest at a movie theater yeah he's out there i mean he's been caught lying because what in his campaign in the 80s he got caught lying about like marching with dr king yeah he got caught lying about the exact same shit that he's talking about right this second yeah and people need to realize that he's just how come how come when the first black president

in america introduced his vice he didn't mention all the work he had done with you know yeah right right right he didn't talk about any work that biden did in the civil rights movement he didn't it's just not true uh it was it was he's got he's got a sloppy brain i feel like he's always had a bit of a sloppy brain but now it's not that's not sloppy that's that's malicious right that's him taking advantage of black people's name recognition of him right and people aren't fact checking i guess or something it's just like sean King out there, like, you guys, his fucking line.

Yeah, I think a lot of people, too, like, I'll see a lot of, especially, like, political opinions from black pundits, too, who are, like, really trying to figure out, you know, the connection between older, like, conservative black boomers and their love for Biden, and, like, very narrowly, it's really through the name recognition of Obama, which I get. makes it an easy choice to be like well obama wouldn't have fucked with him if he was that bad yeah and then you don't have to go too far but then you're like

wait what happened when anita hill was uh testifying in front of the senate when clarence thomas was sexually harassing him and he was like giving her the work but he's getting called on that he's had to say something for that you know i'm saying like he's out there he's out there talking to black leaders in groups and lots of young black people and talking about the work he's done in the civil rights movement and it's just lies like it's straight up lies and nobody's saying anything in his book he talks about getting a job being a lifeguard at a black pool so he could understand what the black experience is like. But right now, talking out on the campaign trail, he's talking about being 17. Right.

You know what I'm saying? And sitting in in movie theaters in the civil rights movement. It's just lies. It doesn't line up. That's a myth. Joe Biden's a myth. Joe Biden doesn't exist. Do some sit-ins

uh work at the pool and then make up a story about a gang member corn pop or the people said that that guy did exist i don't know but they keep the razor blade on them right you put it leave it in a rain ox in the cheek yeah put a leave it in the rain jar to make sure it gets rusty yep in the range i know how you guys do it. That's what he said. He did say that. Who's Weega? What the fuck are you talking about, bro?

What the fuck are you talking about? You leave the razor blade outside to make it rusty. Yeah. Uh-huh. Slash the cheek. All right. Let's talk.

Do you guys have strong opinions on whether it's GIF or JIF? It's GIF. It's GIF. Okay. Yeah. All right. Moving on. That's been i think all right moving on dude who invented it and then went up on the uh webbies or stream whatever well no but i think he like legitimized the jif stance like i think we were well on our way to just phasing that out

and then people were like well the guy who like who invented it said it. Anytime anyone calls it GIF, they're like, well, the guy who invented it says it, so that's right. It's obnoxious. It's obnoxious and it's an acronym in the first place. Right. Yeah. Graphic inter something. Graphic interchange

format. Graphical interchange format. And there's a hard G in graphical. Right. So it's not girafical. it's certainly not miles giraffe cool entertainment and also a whole new pun gif is already a thing it's already a type of peanut butter but the way he said it right so in 2013 maybe he was on a tour i don't know if this was the moment you were there when he said it but he was just out there saying like it should be pronounced gif like the peanut butter rather than a hard G.

It's funny. Early on when GIFs first came out, I remember hearing it both ways. But this was before there was enough internet talk about it. You could just grow up with the bad habit of hearing somebody say Jif and you knew it as that. I heard it as GIF. I preferred it based on what I saw. Now, and I think also, too, it's important because gifs are like part of our digital vocabulary now like i know people who don't even use words anymore right they only they only communicate through gifs right um so giphy which is that

website that basically we get 99 of our gifts from whenever we're like, it's built into so many apps and things like that. They are, you know, teaming up with Jif, the peanut butter company to fucking put an end to this debate. Okay. And what they're doing is they're selling like things, jars of peanut butter with the G on it instead of the J, but that says GIF animated looping images,

hard G. Okay. So the press release is kind of funny too. It says, we're teaming up with Giphy to put a lid on this decade-long debate and prove there is only one GIF. It's creamy, delicious peanut butter, not a looping picture you can send to make friends and family laugh. Wow. This was from the vice president of marketing of GIF. And it says, if you're a soft G, please visit GIF.com.

If you a hard G, thank you. We know you're a soft G, please visit GIF.com. If you a hard G, thank you. We know you're right. I had to read it like that because if you just said to somebody, you a soft G or you a hard G, you got to say it like that, homie. Yeah, I mean, this is good marketing, but it's also, they're on the right side of history. I would love for the owner, though, to keep this debate going. You know what I mean?

Yeah, just as far as he can, just push it. I feel like he and he would probably be like oh excuse me i think i would know i invented it but that has nothing to do with what how people are processing the language changes uh just based on like what your intent was in the first place that that doesn't matter to any of us. Right. It shouldn't matter. Unless it's somebody who is like in a weird little pedantic rut or something. Pedantic rut. Wow. Cutting.

Cutting. All right. Let's take a moment for me to cool down here, guys. I'll be right back. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.

I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.

Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? And this season, we're taking in a bigger bite

out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C.

B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin. A better Lacey Lamar.

Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right. And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach. That's my husband.

Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Joe Biden is back in the conversation when it comes to the Democratic primary.

Because South Carolina is coming up and he has been, you know, he's just been like, yeah, yeah, wait till South Carolina. That's the firewall. That's when it's on. And he is in most recent polls edging Bernie out. And I do want to say, like people are saying that, you know, making it seem like South Carolina is representative of more diverse states. It's very disproportionately old and traditionally conservative black Democrats. So that are like supporting Biden. So it's not,

it's not like demographically all that similar to the rest of America. I mean, either way, I think the results will show people sort of what, where we're at in terms of South Carolina. I mean, he had in terms of South Carolina specifically. I agree. I think you look everywhere else.

Uh, I mean the fact that I think there was like a 10 point swing for bernie after nevada right towards to close in on biden shows you where the like where the where the motion is such a distant second there yeah and he was counting on it so hard he didn't even i mean yeah i'm sorry when he comes out so so far behind and he's like, they counted me out, but I'm back. I'm back, baby. I'm back. It's still like the comeback kick. Oh, my God.

It was a gut shot. I'm going to tell you. But I'm getting back up. It's just been gut shots. And I feel like just getting back up would look better if he wasn't, what is it, 20% behind? Yeah. And I mean, I think the other thing, know if he loses you know i think he was kind of saying that like nevada came in second so you know i'm still in it guys i'm still in it

but if he loses in south carolina he's really gonna have to have a very honest talk with himself about his own viability at that point because i mean this is pretty much i think this is one of his biggest shots or if not his last shot, to really do anything. Yeah. If there is. But, I mean, when you look at all the other polling and what that suggests, he's only been losing support since New Hampshire, since Iowa, basically. I mean, yeah, he's been losing support basically since it really got started. Right. Since he started getting out there on the campaign trail.

And then people started being like, okay, let's talk about Joe Biden. Right. And then it goes, boom. Yeah. Boom. out there on the campaign and then people started being like okay let's talk about joe biden right and then it goes yeah boom um so it's gonna be interesting to see how everybody does uh how everybody does in last night's debate which will have already happened when you're listening to this but uh we haven't watched it yet it hasn't happened in our world no spoilers no spoilers guys uh i want to give you a an opportunity to re-watch it before we comment on it but uh yeah because it seems like a lot of people are like this is the last chance to take bernie out and there's been a lot of a lot of people throwing out some tired old talking points about like uh the the old people watching fox news uh watching sean hannity next to me they were

tisking at his like 1970s romance novel which is like oh that can't that like made the rounds a year ago i'm like isn't bloomberg's campaign like there's some real loopy stuff in there okay uh but yeah so now you know when if you think about it if you're putting that weight of he's got to perform in the debate, man. He's going to have to be on his shit. He's going to have to have the razor-sharp wit of a freestyle battle rapper in there to be able to respond to anything. With a razor blade that's been left out in the rain can over night.

So this is what he said in South Carolina to a group of supporters he was trying to court. And he even sounds a little bit confused as to what's going on. You're the ones that sent Barack Obama the presidency. And I have a simple proposition here. I'm here to ask you for your help. Where I come from, you don't get far unless you ask. My name's Joe Biden. I'm a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over. If you're like we see, help out. If not, vote for the other Biden. Give me a look, though, okay? That's all I really got to say to you. I'm about to... Oh, my God. This man

just said he's running for the Senate. And then he said, hey, give me a look. Then it started swirling together. Yeah. Give him a look over. Vote the other Biden. Vote the other Biden. What the fuck does that mean? No, man. That's like Mad Libs

a list of nonsense syllabic Mad Libs just pulling random syllables and there's no pause hey vote the other Biden I wonder if he has a sense like you know when people can tell they have a migraine coming on they like their hair starts

to hurt or like some weird like shit they see auras like i wonder if he starts to have a sense that uh-oh the brain's running low on things i better like finish this up because and he's like the last he's like racing to like finish that or do you think the last time his brain was functioning healthily enough that he has muscle memory to do a pitch is when he was running for senate so then the wiring just went yeah i'm a democrat running united states senate just get to go look votes other biden it's really sad it just sounds like just his head is falling out and just tumbling yeah it's this is why like at the beginning i think we were all very much like

even obama was like you ain't gotta do this yeah man don't do this to yourself man look you had your shot years ago and you fucked. I think generally we know ourselves less well than the people around us, and I think that is like twice, three times as true when it comes to getting older. Like, we just have no sense that we've lost a step.

Well, yeah, and mortality is tough to deal with. I mean, look at Apollo Creed. But also, I mean, the plastic surgery is unbelievable. There's so much's super true, but also, I mean, the plastic surgery is unbelievable. There's so much of it. It's good, right? It's really good. He looks like his face

hurts all the time. Yeah, it does. His teeth look like joke chiclets. Yeah, or very narrowly, if you remember Dennis the Menace, Walter Matthau, Mr. Mitchell, he broke his dentures in the movie and put chiclets in them shits. Oh, did he? Yep, and I remember he was unveiling a very rare plant flower that was

blooming in his backyard. Yeah, the fart plant or something? I don't know. Did it smell bad? No. Ah, different movie. Yeah. It was like some rare thing. Well, that's for my time, folks. Book for the other O'Brien. I mean, I had to take it on a trip. Book for the other O'Brien.

Look, I don't know. I gotta go. But but then he's like that's all i gotta say anyway uh yeah there's it's it's tough to see and you know he started off kind of like okay you know maybe he's warming up for his this last run but now as you see like over and over these like slip ups that have happened we're like oh oh i't know, Joe, he's starting to look like one of those marathon runners that you see like in those like really inspiring commercials. Who's like barely dragging their exhausted body over the line, except this is the starting line. Right. So it hasn't even started yet.

I'm having a hard time. I mean, of course we've all had a hard time with him as soon as, as soon as he start, as soon as he started, when he came out the gate, Obama was like, you don't have to do this. And he was like, Obama, I asked him not to get behind me on this.

I'm just going out here on my own. No, I can drive. I can drive on my own. Exactly. Right. Exactly. Sorry, just get pulled a car around. I don't need your help, Barry. I'm terrified.

Yeah. I mean, I think luckily people are You know not very energized By his message or his vision of the future I just had a conversation with my stepdad The other day about Bloomberg versus Bernie And I just don't even want to have that conversation With anybody I'm fucking exhausted

Yeah well it's tough you know Especially the Stakes are obscured for many people The stakes are obscured for many people and i think they're obscured for everyone yeah well i think that is that's like where we're at right now is so fucked and so like so fucked that it's like beyond funny everybody's just kind of sad and has arms crossed and needs something different and if we're faced with bernie or bloomberg there's no certainty anywhere there's no like looking forward to some return to normalcy

there's no nothing well yeah what you're saying because we're past that point yeah because bernie could be positive radical change or the nightmare they're painting or you think that he could be the nightmare that absolutely not but i'm saying like everybody's choices are like this is going to be different regardless or it's a nightmare yeah yeah exactly yeah i think i mean i my worry is if if bernie is president just the amount of obstruction that's going to come out of some of these other like out of the congress i think people are talking about bernie like if he shows up america changes that day because all of his policies go through but that's not even how anything works. Yeah. I mean, I think it'll take a few generations to be able to see that. I think the one benefit is that if a lot of the policies that even him or Elizabeth Warren

tout are taking into account the stress that people go through because their needs aren't met, and maybe they're like, let's try and get that shit off the table first, and then you can deal with your racist ass neighbors. Yeah. And maybe they will maybe be less inclined to blame other people for their situation if their needs were met. But yeah, that's all. But that's step fucking one of 3,000 steps for sure. If we're talking about any of these people, I'd love to see Bernie get in there and do something awesome.

Elizabeth Warren. I don't know. Somebody progressive trying something. I don't even know how to speak on this stuff well i think the biggest thing is like you want somebody who we see what the structural problems are the systemic issues and if your policies aren't you know uh going to counter that then you can't really expect anything meaningful to come out of that it's just sort of like it's true yeah that's that's like the positive part about bernie if he wasn't so terrifying to everybody to other people but yeah i think you know it's It's just sort of like It's true Yeah That's like the Positive part about Bernie If he wasn't so terrifying

To everybody else To other people But yeah I think you know It's I just Don't want to see Bloomberg as far out front As everybody's talking about him

I hate Yeah You know I listen to The whole span of Podcasts every day Listen to the daily I listen to Everybody

Yeah I even listen to ben shapiro on two times speed just so i can hear what just get through what the what yeah just so i can blast through it and hear what yeah he's actually not even jewish it's like what he's been starting to say about bernie dude ben shapiro is a fucking monster yeah right never let me meet him but i listen to him because you get a you get a good stretch of what everybody is talking about. How they're looking at it. And how everybody's looking at it. And so you can have a quality argument when dealing with whoever.

Yeah, well, you always have to know what the concerns are or what is motivating them. I am tired of hearing CNN and MSNBC talk about Bloomberg. We'll see. He might be the unifier i mean according to the 200 million dollars of ad spend he's done on this network i think we should hear him out yeah dude but what do i know you know msnbc has really showed their ass i feel like we have man yeah well yeah and then i mean chris matthews actually i had ended up apologizing but even then he's like nah he said it because his bosses said hey fucking apologize so they don't think we're in the bag for like a moderate who's just going to protect you know

the big vested corporate interests he's terrified and he showed how terrified he was and it's like yeah yeah yeah anything else you can tell us about i think you're probably the first guest we've had who's listened to ben shapiro's podcast as thoroughly as you have. I mean. He must sound hilarious. At two times C, does he sound like four times? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He sounds like, man, every single thing he says from his ads to like not even making a point, just talking, is like that fucking dick in high school who's like standing over you. Like, actually. Right. You know? And you should listen to me because my dad's a lawyer. is like that fucking dick in high school who's like standing over you like actually right you know that's and you should listen to me because my dad's a lawyer that's the vibe he's he's uh basically they he's he's just out there defending trump defending the the fact that he got away with everything because he's right you know and that seems to be everybody's argument and then he's you know everybody over there is pushing. You know, and that seems to be everybody's argument. And then he's, you know, everybody over there is pushing for Bernie and talking about it's the worst

thing ever. And then everybody right and left is talking about Bloomberg and we'll see how Bloomberg is doing. Right. I am. Oh my God. But so he's saying Shapiro saying like they should elect or nominate Bernie because then he'll lose by a huge margin to Trump.

Yeah. That's, I feel like that's like, that's their battle cry. That's everybody out there right now. There are people in certain States where if it's an open primary, Republicans are like, we should,

we'll, we'll vote for Bernie for the democratic primary. The most frustrating thing about Ben Shapiro is, is he is the one who is most effective and dismissive in defending anything that we all as like thinking racism or transphobia

everything that we know is wrong he is the one who will justify it without batting an eye and make you so angry and he'll be moved on before you have a chance to like but he's kind of like you know like if you're a fan of a sports team and like you have like a terrible loss you like there's certain pundits or columnists that'll tell you a very narrow thing you need to hear to start

feeling good again about your shitty team yeah that's what he kind of does for people when they're like i almost i don't know if i'm being racist let me listen to ben shapiro okay no okay okay i'm good he's just a thinking person Okay yeah The Browns will win the Super Bowl Okay we're good Plus I feel like he's gotta be like Two years younger than me He's young

He's a young year Yeah he's I just Fucking wanna punch his whole face Right inside out Yeah people see him He's in and out of LA a lot these days He is

Let's talk about Dr. Ronnie Pills Jackson who i'm surprised he doesn't have a cocktail for old joe that can like kind of keep things moving that might be a euthanizing cocktail yeah if you don't know what he's gonna who's ronnie pills dr jackson he's a white house physician oh that guy who basically he likes pills he got on trump's in Trump's good graces when he came out. He goes, dude, this guy's genes are off the fucking charts, man. Honestly, I'm angry. I've never seen an old man that is so ripped. Yeah, he's like, I looked under a microscope.

This shit expanded and blew up the fucking slide I was using. My wife got pregnant. Yeah. And the other thing that he said was that like trump could live to like to be 200 years old if he did like the right uh had the right diet and shit okay that's but that was the one where trump was like i love this guy did you hear him 200 years old for fucking ever baby um so now so then he was uh put up for a veteran veterans affairs and that's when people were like that's when people hold up bro aren't you the fucking plug the pill plug on the airplanes like you're the dude to be like what

you need i got it just walking through the aisle look honestly i've i like doctors like that oh hell they get it baby you know what i mean like well let's just fuck around with the prescription bro i know you don't have a heart condition you could take these now go to sleep bye bye yeah um but at the same time yeah horribly unethical right and i think that's what people are pointing out they're like we can't have this guy running a department if that's his speed so now he has pivoted to try and run for mac thornberry's congressional seat in the 13th district of texas which is vast okay it's fucking 41 counties exist in this district um and just hearing about his campaign operation is like

hilarious uh at the moment okay for someone who has a direct like trump stamp of approval you'd think like he could probably start vet like courting a lot of great consultants and things put a real campaign together um but his campaign manager is, according to him, as he said, a horse doctor with a full-time job. He has one full- That's called veterinary. I think just maybe specializes in the equine medicinal arts. The old horse doctor. He's an old horse doctor.

It's a euphemism. It's a euphemism. Prairie shit. He's a grave robber. That's what it is. He's a full-time grave robber. He desecrates historical sites. And he's a grave robber that's what it is the full-time gravy he desecrates historical sites um and he's a full-time job his one full-time staffer a recent college graduate who is working for free and his wife uh has been the one being his driver who's taking him all around this like

panhandle part of the district which again is 41 counties and there's like a story of him going to like a racetrack because he's like having trouble meeting people and he would talk to voters and he'd go back to his wife and the journalist that was with him he's like yeah they actually drove in from oklahoma so they don't live in the district and then a fucking car drove by and splashed him with mud like this is all the journalist is writing like it's a fucking comedy he said it like got into his coffee like ruined his cup of coffee and he's just having the worst fucking time um the other thing though that came out of this new york times write-up about this sort of this race though is this i think most people were just looking at this one very specific

part he was saying like yeah i was trying to get the president healthy, man. Why would he need to do that? Yeah, he's got the perfect genes. All right. Full disclosure, bro. This dude, his body looks like shit. I don't know how he's doing it. But anyway, what he says is he says, Mr. Jackson said his goal was to help Mr. Trump lose 10 to 15 pounds.

And then he planned to bring an exercise bike or elliptical into the White House residence. Okay. Then he says, Mr. Jackson said those plans never came to pass. Mr. Trump gained four pounds by his following physical. Quote, the exercise stuff never took off as much as I wanted it to. But we were working on his diet. We were making the ice cream less accessible. We were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes.

Yo, that is some shit you do to a five-year-old. That is straight up. That is straight up. That is straight up. That is feeding vegetables to kids. The same thing happened, I think, when he was just in India. Yeah, it's vegetarian. Yeah, no beef for old beef boy.

What the fuck did he do? They prepared a vegetarian meal for him, and his entire entourage didn't touch a single thing they put out. Wow. Talk about, talk about, you know, extending your hand. Right. In solidarity with people around the world. So gracious.

He's like, what the fuck is this? Right. What's a Papa Dam? A what? A fucking samosa? No, don't they usually play in the NFL? I don't drink. Wait, those are Samoans.

Yeah. Yeah. Like he's, it's likeoans. Yeah, like he's even like the chef was like an award-winning chef. Yeah. That dude eats Big Macs. Yeah. That's it. He eats Big Macs, absurd amounts of Diet Coke.

Diet Coke, steak, and ice cream. Now, the Big Mac is our greatest American invention, as I've said before. It's the best thing we've done. You say Adderall is our greatest invention? The Big Mac. Oh, sorry. Adderall. I was talking about Trump's Adderall.

Sorry, man. Should I clean up this hotel room right now? Anna, you want these plugs on plugs? Is that one of the side effects of Adderall? Whenever I would start hearing the word Adderall? Yeah, no. I just had a thought of when I thought it would help me study. Ended up just cleaning.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I would bet. And then never studying. Yeah. It just made me a productive procrastinator. It just makes you really focused on the whatever's in front of you. Yeah.

Yeah. Or it makes you so focused on a thing you don't want to do that you actually be like, well, if I'm not going to do that, I'll fucking, you know what? I'll do everything else. Yeah. A wall-to-wall vacuuming right now. I might go rent a steam cleaner from the fucking grocery store. I got to do these dishes.

I might as well sweep my living room first. Yeah. It's actually super real. Also, we want to just talk briefly about what's going on in the Supreme Court. Trump seems to be trying to, like, I guess he said that he wants to get people invalidated from being on the Supreme Court because they had an anti-Trump bias. His whole thing. Okay.

There was a decision that was made, a five to four decision that the Supreme Court made last week. That was basically they were lifting a nationwide injunction that said that immigrants like that was going to deny any immigrants green cards if they deemed them likely to use any kind of government subsidies or like social welfare programs. Before, the bar was pretty low and most people would be allowed to enter before being considered like a charge of the state or whatever. Someone who's going to be relying on the state for their well-being. Yeah. But now they're like, nah, like raise the bar. for their like well-being yeah but now they're like nah like raise the bar if there's even a hint that these people may need to get on help getting on their feet as they flee whatever their situation is deny them entry and that's disproportionately going to affect you guessed

it the caribbean latin america and africa um so in that uh when that ruling came down justice sotomayor in her dissenting opinion was basically basically saying, like, yo, I can't believe, like, the court is allowing this shit. And she was, like, essentially insinuating or implying that it doesn't make sense. So are the conservative justices basically doing the administration a favor? Right. Rather than actually look, taking an unbiased view of the law and, like, what the precedents are? biased view of the law and like what the precedents are um and because of that that got now of course mr you know stakums and ice cream is basically saying at in india when he was there said this is a terrible thing to say uh trying to shame someone into voting her way she never criticized

justice skinsberg when she called me a faker or should recuse themselves on all trump or trump related matters so So yes, he says that that probably won't happen because they're, why would they do that? But he's setting up again, the numerous slippery slopes we're on is to eventually just completely reject a Supreme court decision. Yeah.

Yeah. And being like, yeah, look at, I mean, look, I'm up against the faker. And I just feel like that's just,

what's going to happen. I feel like everything gets pushed to the limit now. And then it goes over theaker. I just feel like that's just what's going to happen. I feel like everything gets pushed to the limit now, and then it goes over the limit, and everybody's like, okay. I think we're also just really not prepared to handle that. We've left a very, well, I mean, not everybody has lived a very comfortable life, but in the sense that there was this illusion that these institutions would hold up,

and they're crumbling right now rapidly and people are just more like damn son where'd you get that one somebody better do something yeah but i think we like these are the things people need to really think about as these things deteriorate is that those are those are the building blocks of like the kind of scary shit that people are worried about in their like world. It was like, and then there's who knows what the law is anymore though. We're kind of there,

right? We are there. We're in a situation where people have always just assumed that the honor system would work until you encounter somebody who's just like any other kid in the, in the playground at recess he's like honor system yeah fuck you give me this whole bowl of candy this is mine yeah i'll punch you yeah um so now you know that has led to a lot of you know obviously there's more nativist

bullshit going on with this campaign um or this administration but just sort of this whole phase of the administration where now we're getting into like spooky shakespeare character paranoia right and he's like fucking swinging you know a torch at the fucking shadows like the paranoia is off the charts right now um and right now you know they're like you're saying jenny thomas who is clarence thomas's wife is leading like the charge to begin purging people from the appointee, or people who are political appointees, who are not basically all the way in for doing whatever Trump asks them to. They say, this is from, I think, an Axios article saying,

since Trump's Senate acquittal, aides say the president has crossed a psychological line regarding what he calls the quote, deep state. He feels his government, from justice to state to defense to homeland security, is filled with quote, snakes. He wants them fired and replaced ASAP Rocky. Dude, this is a paranoid old man. Yeah.

He's just losing his mind. The snakes. To say that he's crossed a psychological line is very specific and haunting yeah to hear like that it's not just being like yo now he's on some like well not that they would write this like he's on some new shit now about paranoia like when they're describing like oh like to me saying he's crossed a psychological line is the fancy way of being like oh fuck yeah okay he's for real right now yeah about all this shit he thinks there's he thinks this person actually turns into a snake when they go home no you can't and so now with uh jenny thomas and like she's got

a whole crew of flunkies uh basically being like okay let's go through this list of appointees and we can start putting this hit list together so the only people we're gonna have here sick of fancy s people rubber stamps to just do whatever the fuck you want to do fuck the law jay thomas is clarence thomas's wife that's so that's so weird it's so fucking inappropriate small crew of people like families and family friends who are just going through on like decimating our government that's very much what it feels like yeah it's like yeah just fire everybody don't fill the vacancies out yeah and then we got this little squad there's like 40 of us we're gonna

fucking kill everybody and then we'll come and we'll completely miss any kind of national security threats environmental threats because it's only literally 40 people working in the government pandemic threats yeah right i mean that whole i mean we'll get to that in a second i think but the um the people that are being sort of discussed internally as appointees are fucking they're a joke and they're nightmare scenarios sheriff david clark for homeland security the fox news couldn't even handle this dude right Right. Okay. And someone who loves to talk all kinds of shit, whether it's threatening journalists,

blah, blah, whatever. He's great. Homeland Security. Fox News regular. He does have that decorated military pest where he just has a bunch of medals that he just bought from a store. They're not real military medals. It's just a thing you just wear.

Dan Bongino, who used to be on NRA TV, and also has a pretty big podcast, they want him to be also a Homeland Security role or a counter-terrorism advisor role. So this is all just people who play stuff on TV

and look like they'd be good. and you know that's the thing like when they when these people play the parts on tv you know they don't have the they don't have the spine to think about what is going on because they're so singularly focused i'm like well this gets me on tv yeah i said whatever the fuck i gotta do yeah i don't give a fuck about it and they're definitely the kind of people who once they are there they're like what do you want me to say yeah yeah how should i say it perfect hey i actually watch this i think i can turn that one up a little bit more um also devin nunez is a derrick harvey for the national security council he was there but hr mcmaster was like get this guy the

fuck out dude he is a fucking liability uh then there's like a radio host chris planty and someone from the federalist ben weingarten um So these are just really, really scary picks. And the idea that internally now they're being like, okay, get people out who maybe understand how these departments work and what they mean to the functioning of our quote-unquote government and get these bit part actors in. That would be fantastic.

All 50 of us will just be here doing whatever we want. Yeah. By the way, David Clark, his medals are not stolen valor. They're pins that have personal significance to him that just look like he's a decorated military general. Snopes was like, sorry, guys, this is a myth. It's not stolen valor. He just wears stuff that is pins how is that not so that have personal

significance to him look at this dude you think does that look like he's just rocking some stuff that looks like it looks like the definition of stolen playing as a fucking military general well actually one of them is one of those pins they give kids on southwest right if you actually look closely right but it's like it's actually also like nine versions of a badge too right because he's probably he's like yeah i'm not i'm not gonna go full stolen valor so can you give me a regular badge one badge with wings one badge in the shape of an eagle something with a thin blue line right man some of those stolen valor videos are pretty intense yeah i don't understand why why they're letting this guy get away with it because pass. I think because that's the line he's walking, right?

He's like, these aren't any kind of merits I've been awarded. Right. He's just being like, I'll give the illusion that I filled out my coat. I bet he still gets free coffee when he goes to the door. Oh, yeah. Yeah. 100%. And here's one that says best dad of the year that I got from him.

Yeah, he gets his bill. Uh, excuse me. Uh, server. I'm dead. He would never say server. He would say waitress. Uh, I don't know if you saw my badge here. Right.

It says, uh, I did the, uh, St. Paul to Minneapolis promotional 10 K run. Okay. I'm going to need this coffee. How many, how many kilometers between the two? The Twin Cities? I don't know. How long to walk between the two? Well, it depends on where you start and one or the other. Yeah, the edge of each. You doing 20 minutes?

No, let me think about it. Not Plymouth, but for Minneapolis to St. Paul, city limit to... Man, I have no idea. I like to ask abstract questions nobody can really answer. It's probably like a 15 20 minute drive yeah i'm so ignorant of one to the other when we were flying in here i whenever i saw two lights next like two from the sky two clusters of like city lights i was like the twin cities and i'm like well we'll be descending

in about one hour and i'm like okay that's probably not it. Should have known too. Much bigger. It's bigger than people think. Yeah. And it's kind of a secret gem. Like everybody says that about their city, whatever city it is. Right. But this is kind of a place where people come here expecting to stay for a couple weeks and live here. And I'm always guilty of this.

I'm not used to people being kind. Oh, yeah. Because I'm from a city. Yeah. What's their problem? What do they want from me? This dude today, after I had lunch, was like, hey, have a good day. And I had my AirPod, and I'm like, what?

And he was like, no, he was like, have a nice day. And I'm like, thank you, man. Wow. Yeah. I'm an asshole. No, it's real. Thank you, man. Wow.

Yeah. I'm an asshole. No, it's real. There's people who are polite in that Minnesota nice way. Minnesota nice is kind of like, I don't know, if you're me and people I kind of roll with, it's kind of this fakey thing where people who are just the worst people ever and they don't want to talk to black people or whatever, they'll be like, have a good day. Still turn turn it on they still turn it on because you know nobody

wants conflict in a place like this right right right which a lot of people don't like i just wish you'd just be real with me and let me know how you feel but i think it's great oh because you can you can there's guardrails there's guardrails yeah you can slide around on it and you can also play really if you've lived here long enough and you could see that somebody's like white guy smiling you you can white guy smiling back and the white guy smile you harder you have a white guy smile off you know you do like it's it's it's pretty funny it's pretty funny but la people just put their head down and i saw people walking walking to work i i assumed they were walking to work because they had like a briefcase but they

weren't like wearing a coat because they were walking through like all the indoor skyways all of minneapolis and i think some of st paul because it gets so cold here it's all connected all the major buildings in the downtowns are connected by skyways which are basically just like tunnels above ground tunnels yeah basically third floor to third floor so you can you can travel the whole city without going outside on like the coldest days it's pretty good wow see that's what i want to do that one day yeah sure there's there's better stuff i know i keep telling in the build up to us coming here i'm like i want the cold to break my nose off right so fucking cold yeah

nah man you guys came as it's like uh melting out here i know it's nice and i was getting mad because two weeks ago i'm like oh shit it's fucking three no it was i didn't i didn't leave the house for any of that yeah there you go uh all right let's take one more break we'll be right back i've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.

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

The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in France. 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 the civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And let's just jam through a couple light stories. The IOC is thinking about canceling the Olympics because of coronavirus.

Whatever. Yeah, fuck it. Whatever. They should cancel the Olympics because they're awful. That would have been a while. They displace people. Oh, yeah. And they're awful. That would have been a while. They displace people. Oh, yeah. And they're just, you know, fun sports.

Where's the one city that's like, thank God for the Olympics. My quality of life was better as someone who was maybe living in an area that was going to be impacted by the development to accommodate all these tourists that are coming in and bringing home to the city. Why not bring the Olympics back to a place they already built shit for? Yeah. That's a very good idea. Have it called Olympic City. Yeah. Or athens or village what was the first it was in athens

all that shit like you can look back at the ruins from the like what was it the 2000 olympics that were in athens oh right yeah it's just like old ass stadiums that's a spray painted that's like a kind of article you always see when it's always like next to, it's like 20 child stars who you'll never guess how shitty they look now. And then the other one's like, three secrets to get a six pack without going to the gym.

And then the other one's like, check out these haunted Olympic villages. And it's like, I don't know how many like Olympic areas have not, don't have like

total ghost towns. I think it's just London because they like built it all like right in, but somebody's gonna now get my mention. I know like in Brazil London because they like built it all like right in. But somebody is going to now get my mention. I know like in Brazil, though, too, for like the World Cup also like. They built stadiums out in the jungle. Yeah.

And like you could have like a kid's birthday there for like 300 bucks. The entire stadium just rented out because like nobody's using it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the coronavirus spread is I mean, now it's in Italy, I think, is the largest outbreak outside of China is in Italy. Yeah, and we are underfunded, and we don't have a government, a federal government that is capable at all. We don't even have people in that department anymore.

Yeah, there's nobody there. The spot on the NSC that was supposed to be preparing for shit like that, Trump got rid of them and has now replaced them. So we don't even have someone who's supposed to be the have their eyes on the shit talking to the president yeah you had ken cuccinelli who's the acting head of dhs complaining that the johns hopkins website wasn't working yeah i need to check out these on twitter yeah he's like i don't know it's behind a paywall any of my followers uh know where the outbreaks are right now right it's like you're the head of dhs bro why are you on twitter out here like and is this website crashing for anybody else it's you should be able to get that information he didn't tweet later oh no i got it yeah

because they john hopkins john's oh shit okay it was john hopkins i was looking at bernard hopkins fight highlights um so yeah i think that's just it's super frightening and also just all the amount of funding that's been cut out of the cdc and things like that where a lot of people are saying our public health funding is so bad we're not we wouldn't we couldn't possibly be ready for anything like this if it were to become a serious outbreak when it gets here which is what people are saying it's not a matter matter of if, it's a matter of when. I don't see how it couldn't. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, we have people in quarantine right now. Yeah. It's a great time to be traveling for work like we have been. Yeah, you get to see the country. What do you mean? You get to see the country. Yeah, I just feel, I don't know. I need to stop licking the trays.

Yeah, I was going to say. Yeah. I just pour my food onto the tray. Why can't they give you a plate? Yeah, right here. And then you get to keep the tray they give you for home. The best place is to take a nap right there on those fold-down trays. Just press your face right in there.

Right on it. Breathe it. In another health-related emergency, Harvey Weinstein started having chest pains after he was convicted of the horrible sexual assaults he committed. Poor fucking guy. Yeah, I know. To quote one of his movies, here's the world's smallest violin playing the saddest song in the world, just for Harvey Weinstein. Wasn't he supposed to go to Rikers? Yeah, he was on his way to Rikers, and then they were like, we got to pull you aside and bring you to the hospital.

Holy shit. He's like, I know. He'll make it. He'll make it to Rikers. Yeah. That was one of those things that I'm definitely, I wish there was video of him hearing his fate, because I would have loved to see the look on his face.

His lawyer was like, as sure as I'm a bald man, we will be appealing. Apparently, what he said was, but I'm innocent, over and over and over again. Really? But I'm innocent. But I'm innocent. Yep, totally. I mean, he probably believes that. I don't think he does. Yeah.

I don't think he does. Yeah, no, that's true. Or he's like, rich white guy innocent, which means you're guilty, but then when you go to court, they tell you innocent. I paid for this. I spent money on this. I paid for good enough lawyers to convince me that i might be innocent of some of the stuff i heard an interview with his main lawyer the lady who has made she has made like a career out of defending like sex criminals yeah and uh yeah man she was brutal she was basically victim blaming i remember she was being interviewed by a woman and she was like so have you ever been sexually assaulted

and she's like no i would i would never put myself in that situation situation it was like wow okay wow she's like yeah she's like i'm i live in the matrix y'all live in the real world yeah i live in the motherfucking Matrix. Yep. When somebody's approaching me, I just learn Kung Fu really quick. Yeah. I just don't put myself in those positions. I don't interact with anyone. I stay in my ivory tower.

I live in my house. Yeah. And finally, Netflix will let us see how dumb we are with a top 10 feature. Yes. I've always thought about this. Yeah. So I assume trending was like some sort of mixture of, like there's always some new shit on there.

I don't touch the trending ever, because it's always shit I never heard of, and it's always a Netflix exclusive. Right. Netflix, please develop Daily Zeitgeist into a show and give us a million dollar contracts. But I think I was always, I was dubious what was trending. Yes. But for some reason, when you put it in the language of top 10, contracts um but i think i was always i was dubious what was trending yes not this but for

some reason when you put it in the language of top 10 as if they couldn't manipulate that too i'm like okay i can get behind this though what's number five um but this is like made for my brain i i love shit like this to be able to sort of quantify quantify what people are watching like that's the sort of shit that like you know i i pay attention to box office results on weeks where like there's nothing i've seen or would be interested in seeing i'm just like yo yes i mean it's a good look well so they say in addition to overall top 10 list they'll also be able to see top 10 most popular series top 10 films when you click on those tabs and then then even easier, baby, when you're scrolling through, if something's in the top 10, it'll have like a badge on it

so you know you can keep up with the water cooler talk. I mean, we all know the top thing on Netflix right now is Love is Blind. Okay? And that's just that. Is that true? It's most people are talking about Love is Blind. Now, what is Love is Blind? Or Narcos Mexico.

I watch both. I'm already caught up. And Hentified, shout out Marvin Lamas, the hom are talking about Love is Blind. Now, what is Love is Blind? Or Narcos Mexico. I watch both. I'm already caught up. And Hentified, shout out Marvin Lamas, the homie whose show that is. What is Love is Blind? Love is Blind is a show where people go into like, basically like fancy phone booths and talk to a person. They don't see them and begin going on dates like that. Just like phone dates?

Yeah, and then they get married. Yeah. and begin going on dates like that. Just like phone dates? Yeah, and then they get married. But it's basically like a really comfy room with a couch, some nice chenille throws, and big goblets of wine. So by the end of it, you'll see sort of dates evolve where the people are like, oh my god, we're the same person. And then other times, it'll be a woman with a big-ass mug around her. And it's like, I just turned on a slate. I just always self-sabotage myself myself and i just don't do that with you and they're like you'll see motherfuckers be crying

oh yeah like i love you so much you don't understand i've needed you yeah and you i'm like wow we are so alone on this on some level it's crazy uh and like half the couples are already in utter chaos once they actually meet each other right uh but how many episodes in do they meet each other by the third episode i think of a five in the first episode you will see two people on their knees sobbing about how they are in love with each other wow the first is just on the phone in the how are is it condensed like down from like a couple weeks maybe no they had i believe maybe 10 to 14 days maybe even less of just like the the blind date stuff wow then they put them on a vacation to mexico and like they're still loving it you know

some people like i don't know if i'm gonna have sex yeah some people are like i need to fuck now right um and then and then like you start seeing those tensions build more when they have to leave Some people are like, I don't know if I'm going to have sex yet. Some people are like, I need to fuck now. Right. And then you start seeing those tensions build more when they have to leave their quite literal honeymoon phase and move in with each other. And then they start seeing things and they're like, oh, fuck. So this is all compressed. Yeah. OK. How do they throw the couples together? How do they match them up?

You just kind of rotate. So you'll talk to a bunch of people. So not every person on the show is actually pairing off with somebody. Sometimes they're like, nah, I wasn't really feeling anybody. Shout out to all those people because you dodged a fucking bullet. Right. And also that takes some, like, I don't know about that because then all the people who are left could just want to be on reality TV. Yes.

And that's who it is. And you start seeing people like maybe had a first choice and they, they, that love was, uh, went unrequited, I believe is the term. Uh,

and then they give it to someone else who was like their second choice. And then, but then that person starts realizing they were, they were playing B. Oh, really? And it's affecting them. And then this one woman,

Jessica, she's a mess, dude. She's in love with one dude who didn't pick her, but I think didn't want to take the L on the show. So pretend she loved this other guy the whole time so you you got me wrapped up in this show i gotta go home and watch it yeah yeah it's absurd because you're like no no no miss you do not love him right your ego is not allowing you to like accept the fact that this dude chose someone else over you wait how close was she to the dude who chose somebody else was she like she

was she was into she was feeling two guys. Okay, got it, got it. One guy was like the dreamy baseball player guy who was fun. This other guy was just someone who was like this younger guy. 10 years younger. She's 34, he's 24. But because he was like, I want to raise my kids in the church. She was like, oh my God, that's me.

But I don't know how much that really matters to her. Because this guy's devoted to her. But she'll say stuff like, you know, and I don't know. Like this guy's name is, I think, Matt or something. The other dude she likes his name is like Barnett but she'll say stuff like you know and i don't know like this guy's name is i think matt or something the other dude she likes name is like barnett it's like you know whatever barnett's like sexy and hot and like i'd bang him but like it doesn't and this dude's like what uh yo i gotta watch love is blind now it's another another show to throw in the pile if you're in a relationship or you're single and you go okay man i'm either learning what to never do or i'm looking at my situation being like man i'm very grateful for i gotta watch messier tv oh yeah it's better than like here i haven't watched

cheer yet okay is that one good that's that one's good uplifting baby and it's it's good it's reality tv like or like a docu-series sure it's but it's good you watch last chance you i didn't watch i did watch last chance so it's the same people okay except this is about a uh a d like the top juco junior college cheerleading squad the i think the genius of it is i wanted to be like man i don't give a fuck about no cheerleading yeah that's kind of how i felt until i saw the uh the trailer and it made me kind you're like, man, when I get a good documentary, it's about just so much more. And the way they shoot it, there's a level of violence to it, too.

When they're doing all those stunts and things, and you hear the bodies crashing on each other, and they got to keep those straight faces. Women are getting concussed like it's nothing. And just standing up. Yeah. Smiling. Honestly, though, the kind of concussions some of these

flyers get yeah i'm like whoa i'm really i'm really i was a little concerned with how sort of they're like oh yeah i think it'll be okay but she's like i don't know if i get one of these another concussion i don't know what's gonna happen the doctors are like if she breaks her ribs again they could puncture all her organs yeah Yeah. She's like, yeah, but. But she's like our best top girl. Right. Exactly. I've been watching Next in Fashion, just blasting through it.

That was really good. Oh, yeah. I watched that, too. It was really good. Because I love Project Runway. Me, too. It's like Project Runway. It's like Project Runway, but they take out the We Live Together vibe, and they take out

a lot of the work, then they have like a super clean runway show yeah i kind of felt like that kind of streamlined the project one way vibe for me yeah there's less of like the reality show drama it's just purely like it's just about work i mean yeah there's a little stuff going on between people but it's really about like what's great is they start off with people in pairs and they work together so like there's a little bit of you know there's collaboration and then they break they work together. So there's a little bit of collaboration. And then they break them off into solo. When there's less people.

People get exposed too. It's true. You realize they were able to get. There's one dude who's like, I have great ideas, but I have no. The Italian dude? Yeah. He's like, I have no actual talent. Seamstressing skills.

Yeah. He can sew by hand a little. He can't use a sewing machine. He has really great ideas. He sent some dude out in an absurd lycra pantsuit that he was like, it's for the fish if you're snorkeling. And it was like, nah, fam.

You can't even sew. That's good. McMillions is really good. I've been watching McMillions. The Outsider. Oh, I just saw the first episode. I'm flipping out about The Outsider Oh I just saw The first episode Flipping out about The Outsider
