Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
Keep rolling, rolling, rolling.
You know, that was the first draft of the limp biscuit song.
And they were like, what if we took the G's out to make it sound more conversational?
The amount of podcasts that start with Fred Dirst talk, beggars believe.
On this podcast?
On this show.
This show in particular.
Like, this feed has so many Fred Durs cold open.
It's what we do
I mean
I don't know man
Who else are we supposed to talk about
The other guy from Limp Biscuit with the weird contacts
West Borland?
Yeah I don't I don't
Sam Rivers
For don't even know that guy's name
What's the damn?
I'm quickly forgetting everyone's name in Limp Biscuit
I mean I've already
I didn't know that there was Limp and Biscuit
It's like Captain and Tiscuit it's like Captain and
Danil.
Yeah.
God,
could you imagine being limp?
That would be a tough one.
Although if you just had like a cool way of walking,
maybe you could pull it off.
Fred Durst is an American rapper,
singer,
songwriter,
film director and actor,
okay?
So I don't want you just
referring to him as the guy
from Limp Biscuit.
He might be the most Floridian
human being on the planet.
He might be, yeah.
Yeah, how did he escape being like Florida
man, but he is the quintessential
Florida man. He just
rose above, you know?
Someone's got to be the top Floridian.
He rolled to the top.
If we're taught, we have, did you see the
Carrie Underwood thing where she covered
limpiscuit? No. I did
not. That like happened like this
week and she was awful
and we hate her because she's weird
and maga. But people have started
calling her Kelly Clark, or was the Kelly
Clarkson's Walloigi?
I don't know.
I don't think she can't.
No.
Few can.
I did not know that she...
Doesn't she...
Didn't she, like, the domestic violence lady?
Or she'll, like, smash your shit up.
Didn't she have that song about smashing somebody's shit up?
Yeah, that's her, right?
But that's, like, country.
And also...
Yeah, but it's no fifth city.
It's no fifth city.
What's Fis City?
Oh, it's a great tune by Loretta Lynn.
Oh, by Loretta Lynn.
It's where I'm about to take Brian.
We're having a country era again.
You're about to take Brian to Fis City.
I'm about to take Brian to Fist City with these two.
It just sounds like you're going to fist him.
That's what it sounds like.
It's a fun song about Fisting.
Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches,
there's a lot of suspense.
Will they finally eat the veggies?
Will the pesto survive the first bite?
Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all?
And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months.
I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them.
I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the Survivor Files.
I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything.
Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable.
I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.
I started feeling that that.
There was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming.
They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced.
But these aren't stories about what's taken from them.
There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive.
Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is Prose Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsesives, and anyone who thinks Pride and Prejudice and Love Island deserve the same level of discourse.
I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having.
I'm going to have to look up this story.
I'm obsessed.
From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table.
It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters,
then that is a Trojan horse.

On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone,
as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his
motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space
where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita,
trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they
were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're a
that you're most receptive to the world as it is
and not the lies you're sold about it.
It can be a time where you push your limits,
change your mind,
or wake up to a new version of yourself.
So whether you're a solo travel veteran
or you're too nervous to book your first trip,
I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of their daily night, guys.
It's production of IHeart Radio.
this is the episode where we tell you some of the stuff that was trending over the weekend.
We also let you get to know us a little bit better.
Miles is out on assignment.
Typical.
Typical.
We're going to say out on assignment.
He's getting his eye showered out weirdly.
You know those eye showers that they have at labs?
He's just...
Yeah.
The assignment happens to have manifested that way.
We're not sure exactly what medically is happening to him,
but we're thrilled to be joined in our second seat by one of our favorite guest co-hosts,
hilarious stand-up comedian, writer, actor, improviser, not above poisoning miles,
but that couldn't be what happened this time.
I mean, there's no way there's like eye poison.
It's polonium, Pahlavi, Gunale.
Hello
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Very grew vibes
Very grew of you
In college I used to have a black cat
In my dorm and like I had a swivel chair
And every time I heard someone coming
Coming down the hallway
And I knew that they were going to come into my
Door room
I waited and then I turned around slowly
Rushed over to that
In my moment
Get in here
Get in here
Why are you breathing
so heavily as you slowly turn around
with your black cat on your lap.
The fog machine stopped working.
We're also thrilled to be joined
as always, but this time on mic
by Brian the editor.
Hello.
I'm on the mic this time.
Editing, editing, editing, editing, editing, editing, editing, editing.
What?
Editing.
Editing, Eddie.
Come on.
You want to justify
cutting out Jack's ums and a
yes.
Yes.
We're thrilled to...
Wait, I have so much appreciation
because I'm editing our podcast,
the millennial mood board one,
and I'm like, I can see all the waveforms
of all of our idiosyncrasies
in my head.
Every um and awe and stutter.
I know what I think like a good
like maybe dozen people's ums and aas
look like just on site.
On site.
It's beautiful.
I love that.
the government will start paying you to because those are that's like a way to identify people
they're like give us the wave forms of everybody's um yeah flog cameras track your gate i track your ums and
as i was like that's jack get him get him yeah a lot of people don't know that my uh you know i obviously
say uh they've probably heard that but you always cut out my owing which is the other thing that i say
frequently throughout, but you do such a good job.
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Oh, no.
He's got this rare disorder where he turns into Jerry Lewis for some reason.
Right.
Anyways, thank you for editing those out all the time.
Stupid. Stupid.
Yeah.
My fucking idiot.
Well, this is the episode where we tell you what was treading over the weekend was
trending this Monday morning or Tuesday morning because it was a long weekend.
But before we.
get to any of that. We do like to let our listeners get to know us a little bit better by telling
them some things we think are underrated, some things we think are overrated, and I usually
throw it up to Miles to decide if he wants to go first on the underrateds. Pahlavi, do you want to go
first? Throw it up to Miles. Throw it up to Miles. I did point to the sky.
underrated brushing your teeth because boy, did I have some dental work last week.
Oh, no.
It was bad.
Yeah, and here's the thing.
It sneaks up on you, but apparently you can get cleanings every six months,
even if you are mentally ill, and I suggest you take them.
You can get cleanings every six months.
You can.
Listen to press fellow depressed folks.
You know that thing at night where you can't brush you,
can't brush your teeth, fucking do it.
Just do it anyways.
Yeah.
What about a pillow that you can just like rub your face into that like cleans your teeth?
Yeah.
Face down.
It's like the makeup gun from the Simpsons.
Exactly.
It's got a built in toothbrush.
Yeah.
Oh man.
Yeah, done to work.
Why can't they?
Never that fun.
I can't.
They're trying to go to Mars, but they haven't invented a candy that cleans your teeth.
Like,
or like a retainer that you put in that just cleans your teeth for.
where you like all night.
Like, and then you wake up and your shit is sparkling.
Like a dishwasher for your teeth?
Yeah.
Like, what the fuck?
What the fuck are they doing?
That's how I imagine people with veneers like pop their teeth out in the dishwasher.
That's why they always look like that.
Why they're so bright.
Are veneers made of some sort of non-stick material that makes...
Yeah, they're covered in Teflon.
I've never seen somebody with veneers that look like yellow or mossy or anything.
They don't even try and make them look human.
Yeah, they look like they're made of non-stick material, the same shit that, like,
teflon pans are made of.
The food just like bounces off.
Are my veneers going to be microwave safe?
I do feel like, yeah, so I'm in the middle of a run of probably about a year and a half.
I was on a, I was on a great path where I was, for the first time in maybe a decade,
I started going back to the dentist.
Oh, my God.
we gotta do better.
I know.
I know.
And we, and I was back on the path of like every six months just going.
Like I would just be like, you know, I got the notification a day ahead and I'd like cancel the meetings or something or, you know, like move stuff around just because I was like.
I can't come to the birth of our child.
I have to get my cleaning done.
Look, babe.
How many times did I tell you?
Yes.
And it is like they have not, at least the dentists that I go to.
to is not improved on what they used to get shit off your teeth.
Like, it is like pick an axe.
No, there's something wildly archaic about dentistry.
Like, I had an extraction.
Tunes with my fucking chisel here.
It's like, what the fuck?
Yeah, I went to get an extraction once.
And the guy was describing, he had a bunch of fancy words for it,
but he was describing the process of, okay, like, if,
if the little like
the little scar tissue in there
doesn't like scab over
you can just come back and I'll
scrape at it with a pointy stick
and then we can start and I'm like
what the fuck is
how is that your answer?
How is that in the textbook?
They definitely
were like oh that pain you're feeling
that's just me
taking away your gums
and I was like okay
where is it sacrifice?
what's going on.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I'm sorry you went through that,
but your teeth look wonderful.
Yeah, and your gums just feel strong to me.
Like, there's something.
Yeah.
Yeah, they feel well-rooted.
We're doing gum.
Very long.
Very long gums.
Yeah.
Some of the.
That girl, she's long in the gums.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, I got a couple underrated.
One is just how bad Trump's far
and poo must smell.
I know this has been,
this is a point that's been made before,
but they keep dropping new videos on us.
I can't imagine that he's shitting himself every time this happens,
but like these videos of people who are standing behind him,
whose job it is to please him and to not react like he,
like they're smelling the worst thing in the world.
And they just like cannot do it.
There's a video of J.D. Vance and some other guy behind him in the Oval Office.
His twin?
It looked like a twin to me. Like they're trying to clone him and failed.
They're working on it. They're like halfway there. But they go from like staring absolutely into the middle distance, you know, marveling at their good luck at being this close to dear leader to it looks like they're being force choked.
Like, you remember the first part?
It looks like choreography to me.
It looked like they both went,
whew!
At the same time.
In the opposite direction at the same time.
I haven't seen it.
It's so wild.
It looked like it came with a sound effect,
the way they turned away from this man.
It was so funny.
Like a cartoon cloud of green gas,
like you hit them right in the face.
It was so funny.
It's so wild.
But, like, you remember.
Remember that first force choking in Star Wars where it's like the person's like,
what is that?
Oh, yeah.
Like they seem like bewildered every time.
Yeah, that's like talking shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what it feels like to me.
Here, Paul.
Literally talking shit.
Yeah.
We are literally talking shit.
What I can't figure out is why they keep piling people up behind him.
Is this like a torture thing?
I think it's like one of those things where they have to disprove.
it so they keep overcompensating.
Right.
Oh, let me see.
Crazy.
I don't know how to do it.
It's very sleek and nice.
Because you can see their normal.
That does look like J.D. Vance's clone.
But like he's paler in a couple ways.
The 3D print ran out of filament.
Because this one's a little shorter.
You see how they both like look off in opposite directions?
But J.D.'s face beforehand.
It's like, ooh.
And the other guy's like blinking.
Like it hurts.
Oh my God.
Like his eyes are watering.
We've seen this before.
I don't,
I think this may be the first time that we've seen it.
Corey,
like two people doing it at the same time,
you know,
synchronized,
uh,
force chokings.
But like,
it truly synchronized shit,
sick of fancy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Brought to their knees.
Like,
uh,
it's really like a kind of amazing.
What,
what must be happening back there.
Are they living their dreams right now?
Like,
why are they doing this?
Exactly.
Well, I think they, on the one hand, they are.
They're like, God, I can't believe it.
Like, I'm this close.
He's so great.
I get to sit next to this shitter.
Yeah.
And then it's like, fucking pow.
Like, truly.
Okay, my other underrated is just using basic ass movies to cure writers block,
apparently, because I was listening to a podcast about the creation of the song Iris that
Gougu doll's song that is like,
and I'll give up forever.
You know that song?
Oh, yeah.
It was like the number one song on the radio.
It's like has the record for the longest time that a song has ever been number one on the radio.
And like I was listening to two podcasts about the creation of Iris this weekend because I'm in a good place.
And I watched like a reel about it too.
It's like all over the internet right now.
Yeah.
The podcast Band Splane was talking about.
the creation of it.
But yeah, like, so the
Gougu Dolls, like, songwriter, singer guy was...
Johnny...
Johnny something.
Was, like, blocked.
Yeah, but he was blocked, like, the pressure,
after he had that song name that was, like, a hit,
the pressure was, like, too great to, like, come up with a follow-up hit.
And he was like, you know, I can't write a song.
And somebody reached out and was like, hey, do you...
Would you be...
interest in writing a song for this
like basic ass
Nicholas Cage movie
which is like
you know literally the lyrics
are the plot of a movie
where Nicholas Cage plays an angel
named Seth
Oh I was like
And I'd give up the world for the national
Declaration of the National Treasure
Yeah
But yeah
He blasted through the writers back by
just watching like a silly.
I just wonder if that hasn't been the answer.
Like he's just the only person who's like guileless enough to just be like, yeah, I don't know.
This is what this song's about.
It's about, it's about this Nicholas Cage movie.
Like, I wonder how many people wrote amazing love songs based on like Sleepless in Seattle, you know?
Just Nick Cage movies.
The Rock.
So many of them are about the Rock.
It turns out.
But anyways.
Yeah.
Don't be.
ashamed to be moved by basic
ass movies. It gave us one of
our finest basic ass songs.
Iris.
We love it.
I do. I love it.
Anything you think's underrated?
Why is Brian Choate laughing right now? Did Trump
just part around him?
Yeah. It is like they took a
massive hit of weed. Yeah.
Hold on. Let me see. Let me see
if there's anything in my notes.
You don't have to have one. I just didn't.
Oh, underrated jeans with
way too many zippers.
Yeah, that's coming back.
That's underrated?
That's underrated.
So like the ones that have like tiny little
zippers all over the,
like only like my little zippers that don't actually
go anywhere.
Where it's like got so much buckles and like all the different
little straps.
Like that but more zippers.
Setsing off the TSA like nobody's business.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's,
I feel like those are there,
those are coming back.
keep hearing a lot about
little tiny zippers
where are you hearing a lot
about that?
There's so many questions on this show
Um
he's like
you know what?
I'm gonna go back
to being on camera
yeah Jack asked me if I have something
underrated and I said
jeans were way too many
zippers
way too many zippers.
I know no further questions.
Yeah.
I mean it's pretty straightforward.
Paula Vee,
what do you think is overrated?
We're going to
I'm just going to let that sit.
I literally, okay, I had one and then it just flew out my fucking brain.
Can you go first on this one?
I'm thrilled to go first on this one because this is something that's really been building
up for me.
The phrase is semifinals and quarterfinals.
In tournaments like the U.S. Open, like this is a sports take, Pahlavi, in your honor.
But in tournaments of all sorts, when they say quarterfinals are,
semifinals.
Just say how many people are left.
I feel like I have to look it up every time they say it.
Now that I've said this, I know that quarterfinals is eight and semifinals is four,
but it's like quarter, I think my brain gets confused because quarter is four.
Yeah, exactly.
Thank you.
And like, there are tournaments that just say the final 16, the final, the sweet 16, the elite eight,
the final four.
It's like, I need it that basic.
Okay.
I don't want to hear about no quarterfinals, no semi-finals.
The U.S.
Open does that.
MySpace top eight.
Yeah.
Exactly.
The MySpace top eight would be great.
You can get it sponsored by MySpace, I guess.
Because they have so much money right now.
They might be coming back, actually.
There's, that's a story every 10 years.
I did hear that they were coming back with MapQuest,
but that might have been a joke.
MapQuest is
MapQuest has been the number one
downloaded app, like Map App
because of the
Mentorio.
Trying to use it.
I'm hoping that they get their shit together a little bit.
Mapap.
But yeah, I
Googled like, does
semifinals always mean
the final four and
like halfway through
I got, does semifinals
come before quarter finals?
So I'm not, I'm not the only one.
And, like, I was talking to somebody this weekend about it.
And they were like, no, it's actually not that confusing.
And they had it backwards.
They thought quarterfinals was the final four.
So.
So Jack's Google search history is this question followed by, can I kill myself now?
What is wrong with me?
How do I end it all?
This is, yeah, I do have a feeling everyone's just going to be like,
nobody has a problem with this.
You're an idiot.
but I don't know. I'm just saying people like numbers. Okay. I think of it. It's like fractions.
Like there's four four quarters in a hole and semi, I always think of semi circle. So it's like half. So it's fewer. It's like, you know what I mean? Yeah. That's how I picture it in my head. That's a good point. Does that help or does that hurt your head?
Semis circle. That, no, I think the semicircle thing actually fixed it for me because I was like semi is such a vague term, you know? But,
Yeah, you're right.
Semi does mathematically mean one half in some contexts.
So, all right.
Quarter finals, four finals, eight teams.
Never mind.
I withdraw my overrated.
But let me know if I'm a complete fucking idioter.
If you agree, if you get confused by this every year when the U.S.
Open insists on doing semifinals, quarterfinals.
Paula, do you got anything?
You think so very good?
I got it.
Part of the reason I think I forgot it was in order to protect my brain.
space.
Uh-huh.
I did watch the Reagan documentary, and this woman needs to go down.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
You watched it.
She's, I don't know.
Reagon unto.
She is my nemesis.
Yeah.
The Reagan story broke while you keep poisoning my elf.
Yeah.
The Reagan story broke while you were on the show, like guest hosting for a week
and a row.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we treated it like it was Watergate.
And it is.
And she needs to never be allowed to dance again.
You know how in footloose were the town bands dancing?
You're going to do a one person footloose.
A one person band no matter where she goes.
She's not allowed to dance.
And her husband, I think also inherits that title because of the way he unironically
describes how beautiful she is and how her moves were so creative.
I'm like, the most.
insufferable people you know are in long-term relationships with each other.
I'm like, I can't.
This, oh, it made me so mad.
She's, she, like, the worst part is she worked hard.
She was, like, going to the gym.
And I'm like, and that's what you did.
That's what you did.
She made a spectacular miscalculation with the move choices.
Like, the idea that she, because she didn't go up first.
She saw what other people.
people were doing, and then she still decided to do her moves.
She should have fake an injury.
After she scored zero in the first two rounds.
And then she was like, I'm going to be myself.
Wait, that was a terrible accent.
But afterwards, she was like, I can't believe women were hating on me.
Like, I was so disappointed that women would be this way.
And you know that tweet that's like, I don't support all women.
Some of you are dumb pitches or whatever.
I was like, this has nothing.
to do with you being a woman.
This has you do with you being terrible
at dancing and using it as an
academic like
objective to like
experiment and do this. And then at the end
she's on a yacht and I'm like I hate this bitch.
And like the whole time they're like proud of what she's done.
Do you know,
Richard Branson,
spoiler, calls her up and is like,
I thought what you did was great and they're all haters.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And she's she's coming.
back to dancing now. And so if it's between dancing and her, I think we should all just stop
dancing. You know what I mean?
Everybody listen to this woman.
Not international. She's competing in like Taiwan. No more dancing. She's still competing.
She's still doing it? She's a year and a year later, she's like, I'm going to dance again.
And I'm like, you don't need to be brave. You don't need to. It's a great to treat it like and this is
brave or are people like and this is a problem that she's continued to dance?
They interviewed, they interviewed some of her like break the B girls who didn't make it.
And they were like, well, the conspiracy, they were shady.
It was funny.
They were like, she's got a unique.
I can't do a fucking Australian.
Ar-N-R-N-R.
Okay, there we go.
She's got a unique.
She's got a unique.
She's got a unique.
She's to calibrate with an R&R.
It wouldn't, yeah, it wouldn't.
It's not my story.
Like, they were just like shitting on.
her. But then they said the conspiracy about the competition being rigged or whatever was false.
And then one of them at the end, I think they had to tell the story of like redemption.
So one of them at the end was like, you know, I expressed to her that it was bad, but like,
you know, they were there was some resolution. But she recreates the dance moves. So she like has
studied what she did on that stage and memorized it. Wow. So she's like, this was actually
iconic and I stand by my decision.
They're like, we represented Australia.
Oh, that's what one of her ops, like the other bee girl who was like, she was terrible, was like, oh, she did this sprinkler.
And I was like that, like, why did you, that was so offensive to me because that doesn't have any B girl roots.
And.
That has me at a sixth grade dance roots being like, I need something to do with my hand and body to not dance, but also not be awkward.
Yeah.
But she's like, Reagan told me that it would start in Australia.
And I was like, no, no.
And then I went home and I looked it up and it had.
And I'm like, I don't give a fuck where it started.
It needs to be stopped.
Like, I don't like, the whole point is she, she was academic about it and used that as an excuse to suck ass.
Right, right.
And like the number of elite academics who do that, who like overstudy something until, like, it loses
the art or they appropriate it.
I'm like, fuck off.
Anyways, I hate her and she's overrated,
even though she got all that hate.
She did get a lot of hate.
I'm so mad.
And I'm like,
I'm like,
I'm going to continue.
I'm going to continue.
It's so interesting that they said,
it was like they sent a basketball historian to the Olympics to play on a basket,
like start at power forward for the U.S.
basketball team.
It's like they sent Zach Lowe.
Yeah.
But also, the other thing is there were like,
there was one.
black person that I saw in all of the Australian breakdancing stuff.
And so I'm like, there's like a systemic, I'm like, we're all the black people like,
we're going to do our own tournament and you guys can have like your own little special shit
whatever you're doing where Reagan wins.
You guys can, yeah, we're going to like actually do art.
I'm like, where are all the people who started this?
You know?
Not in Australia, I would imagine.
Yeah.
Anything, Brian, do you think's overrated?
Yeah, I'm going to go with jeans with no zippers, actually.
I will say button-fly jeans are annoying.
They are annoying.
Good call.
Never been a fan of those.
Good call, Brian.
Yeah, I don't like them.
There's just something about them.
There's not enough zippers.
I always associate them with, like, corduroy, too.
But, like, jeans.
Buttonfly?
Jeans.
Yeah, I think corduroy, it's okay, but on jeans, it's like a little bit much.
Yeah.
Much.
In an era in a time when the sprinkler was the main dance move.
And buttonfly pants and corduroy, we're all popping.
The sprinkler.
Poppin.
Poppin.
Also, why is that the most popular sprinkler?
Why not this one where it waves back and forth?
Yeah, the one that goes forward and backward.
That one has more grace for sure.
That's the one the kids run through for fun.
That's actually a ballet move.
That's in the ballet world.
You see that a lot like Black Swan.
Pallavi's doing the one that like is many holes that just kind of waves back and forth.
But you do look like just a more graceful one of those inflatable guys that are used car sales.
Which I have been for Halloween.
That's really good.
You're actually pretty good at evoking the physicality of that guy.
So it makes sense.
Arn-R.
I studied them.
I'm so bad at the fucking accent.
She's like, I actually studied those.
I was inspired by Pauline's Halloween costing.
All right.
Let's take a quick break.
And we'll be right back to talk about some news from over the weekend.
We'll be right back.
Ar-N-R.
Oh, no.
Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense.
Will they finally eat the veggies?
Will the pasto survive the first bite?
Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all?
And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months.
I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them.
I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files.
I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything.
Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinker.
I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.
I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming.
They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced.
But these aren't stories about what's taken from them.
There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive.
Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
If your bookshelf and your for-you page

This is Prose Society,
the weekly podcast that's part book club,
part group chat for thought daughters,
pop culture obsessives,
and anyone who thinks Pride and Prejudice and Love Island
deserve the same level of discourse.
I'm Eli Rallo,
and every week we're connecting the dots
between books, the internet,
and the conversations everyone can't stop having.
I'm going to have to look up this story.
Emma says.
From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments,
nothing is off the table.
It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, then that is a Trojan horse.
Whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations,
or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place.

See you between the pages.
On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman.
I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.
I chose option B.
I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.
I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility.
Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us.
Not a lot of people smile around here.
It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it.
It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself.
So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're
at your podcasts.
Hey, it's Bobby Bones.
Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday on our podcast,
lots to say with me, Bobby Bones, and Matt Castle.
We also bring in friends, they're mostly Matt's friends,
who are current or former NFL players,
some of the biggest names in music and entertainment,
and then we have some really great conversations
that can pretty much go anywhere.
The great Pac-Man Jones.
After the game, the whole national task force for police officers
was at the stadium.
Like, hey, buddy, yeah, you, Adam.
Come up.
And one of my favorite segments we do is called situational awareness,
where Bobby and I give each other real-life situations
and figure out what we'd actually do.
You're in training camp, and the rookie quarterback has one good throwing session
in front of the media.
Suddenly, everybody online says he should start over you, week one.
How do you handle this?
You just go back out to practice the next day, and wait for him to mess up.
Listen to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle
on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
Let's talk about the...
So at the end of last week, the Trump administration contrived a yet another distracting
bit of rage bait bullshit by unveiling an online arcade full of half-ass retro flash
games.
Some were relatively inoffensive.
You had the Flappy Bird knockoff called Flappy Bill in which you control a bald eagle
carrying a piece of legislation.
There was also...
Wait, can I? Yes.
I'm so ADHD.
I'm so sorry.
Everybody always comments about how I interrupt,
and I'm like, yeah, they love that.
Yeah, that's what we're here for.
You're here to be interrupted.
This is so random,
but I was on tour, like last year with Sammy O'Bade,
and we were driving from Vancouver into the U.S.
and we saw like literally two bald eagles just like live bald eagles were like fly
or like on this lamp post and then flew off as we like entered the U.S.
and the sun it was like dawning or whatever.
Wow.
And I was like this is what like Republicans picture as they like lose health care from one country
to another.
Did you just turn to each other?
Home of the brave, brother. Home of the brave.
Home of the brave.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that moment has been dramatized into a shitty flash game hosted on an official dot-gov website,
as well as others like Supply Line is a take on punchout where you hit seed oils off a conveyor belt
before they get sent to corrupt kids, presumably.
So those are the basic ones.
The really bad ones include Build the Wall, which is Tetris.
Oh, my God.
But you're building the border wall to keep out a, quote, zombie horde of migrants.
I do just want to say, in the game, build the wall.
The blocks don't disappear.
They just stack up, meaning that each game takes like 30 seconds.
They're like, ah, there you go.
You built the wall.
And that's it.
That's insane.
Also, I'm sorry, but, like, the cruelty is the point is the, like, this is so fucked.
Like, they're so evil.
They're so evil, and I cannot get over it.
On purpose.
Yeah, on purpose.
They're doing fun little games to rub their evilness in our face the way that Trump rubs his power in the face of people directly behind them.
Behind him.
Rio Run is the worst, somehow worse than build the wall game.
This is a game in which players are a cartoon Tom Homan deporting.
Uniformly brown, quote, border hoppers.
Wait, how did they, did they make Tom Homan, like, did they do his voice and stuff?
They made him like a little, he's just like a little eight-bit guy.
Yeah, he's a little cute, eight-big guy.
He's like, I don't sound like that.
It's like administration babies instead of Muppet babies where it's just a little.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I don't know if he sounds shit-faced in the game or not.
like the villain from Men and Black.
Right.
That's what he sounds like to me.
Sugar water.
Agar, your face is falling off.
But the White House promoted this nightmare arcade by ripping off the boot up music and
visuals from the Sega Genesis Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Nintendo
DS game systems.
But as of Monday, none of these companies,
offered any public rebuke of their brands being co-opted to hype, you know, just mask off
eight-bit racism.
The only company to speak up was the Tetris company who posted a message about how at Tetris,
which I didn't know that was, like, I thought, I knew there was like somebody who invented
Tetris, but I thought it was like Nintendo at this point.
But they said, at Tetris, we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together,
noting that they were not involved in the White House's game and take copyright infringement very seriously.
Which do you, I was going to ask if the other companies like if they aren't saying anything for any type of regulatory or like beneficial thing from that's what that's it. Assuming they're not just like getting their you know, they're lawyering up and like getting ready to issue some sort of, you know, legal.
challenge. I'm assuming that this is just like MapQuest where like we saw last week that
Google jumped to put changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America before it was even
necessary because they know like I was speculating that they must have an entire division
whose job it is to like figure out ways to please Donald Trump because it's going to be good for
them in the long run and like all they care about is the bottom line. And so in that case,
you only had a company like MapQuest and in this case, a company that I didn't know existed
called the Tetris company. It's the, it's the Sumi for what economy where like only people
with nothing to lose are willing to do shit. And I just, it's like there was a time during the
first administration where I think people took heart in the idea that like corporations would
enforce the norms and like, you know, Nike was going to challenge racism. But when it became
clear in this second administration that he was going to like punish you financially for not
respecting his norms, it actually has become inverted. Like the more, those more powerful
companies. People used to be like Google's like bigger than most world economies. And so like they'll
push back on anything. And it's like, well, no, they'll actually, they are so big and so worth so much
money and have so much stockholder value at risk that they're just not going to do shit because
it could, you know, create problems for them on the stock market. Have you seen that, I think it's a new show
audacity on Netflix?
No, I don't think so.
It's this like, it's, it feels like high
stress Silicon Valley.
Like, it's, it's these,
like, Silicon Valley people who are trying
to do all this illegal shit to stay on top.
And it's,
uh, Billy, what's his name,
Billy Magnuson or whatever?
The, the lead actor is, like,
really good at playing one of these guys who's
just like, I gotta fucking get ahead.
You're fucking me. Like, that sort of thing.
Like, with everyone. He's just trying to, like,
make a deal and figure out how to take advantage of people and stuff.
And I'm like, I feel like they're a lot more calm about it.
But I'm like, it feels very real of like how they just don't give a fuck about anything.
And they're, it's all they care about is money.
Like it just, it's, it's a good show.
It's like, it's at Galifanakis, it's in it.
And it's like, it's really, it's funny, but concerning, you know.
Oh yeah.
Billy Magnuson has great, uh, founder, IPO.
face. He's amazing.
Yeah. He's really good at it.
I don't know why people keep making those shows because people keep routinely taking the wrong
lesson from them.
That's fair.
Sorry, satire doesn't work. Satire is my actual overrated.
Stop making fucking satire. It's just fueling these fucking people.
Well, as we'll talk about on tomorrow's episode, they're also making just straight
up documentaries about them that seem to be a little, um, I don't know.
but like the Elon Musk one
seems like it's going to be interesting.
I thought you were talking about Elizabeth Holmes.
Oh, I'm going to talk about that one.
You guys are like, Elon Musk and I'm like, fucking Raygun.
The real problem.
Nobody's making attention.
But it does, as long as companies are just like not willing to push back on
the corrupt system,
like doesn't it just mean that the entire system is
completely fucked.
Like if you can't make
any company stand for something
that is
that, you know,
being against this administration is like a wildly
popular sentiment among the public.
But it just like doesn't
matter anymore. I think
the fact that like
our government
or the American government
does not give
a fuck about like
anti-jointed
trust or like regulating companies at all.
It's like they want more of that.
So they're not going to rock the boat if they're getting this free ride to just like screw literally everybody over.
Everybody who, you know, can't afford it.
It's like, why would they?
Like they're incentivized to just let the shitty government be shitty so that they can make as much money as possible.
So yes, we are fucked.
Yeah, I think all these, like, companies and, like, rich people and politicians, like, they don't give a shit about long term. Like, all they care about is short term. Like, that's how I view, like, bankruptcy and stuff. It's like, people just try to get as much as they can and get out. And then they worry about they don't, like, they don't care about, like, getting caught or whatever. It's all just, like, impulsive, trying to get as much money, like, hoard as much as possible in the moment. Because they don't give a shit about, like, climate change or their grandchildren or anything. Like,
that, you know, otherwise they would. But I do think, I will say hopeful thing, I do see a lot of
the American people like in these local elections and in with the DSA, like, make having momentum.
I think that's where we have to put our hope and that's where we have to like, like kind of
force their hand through all, like just the power of the people like we're trying to do.
So it's just so wild that's the only thing.
as like such a radical political stance to be like the DSA and it's just like what would
if government was acting on behalf of people instead of corporations is all is social contract that
that is what socialism is what if the government was uh giving people yeah doing its job instead of
you know rigging everything in favor of corporations and weapon bomb makers by prime example you look at
fucking Steve Balmer.
Like Steve Balmer fucked up
really badly like 20,
25 years ago. And he should
have, we should have never heard
from this guy again. But he
was allowed to
I guess not go to jail
for all his antitrust shit at Microsoft.
And then not only that
he made even more
money after that to the point where
he was allowed to buy a team
and do
all the shady shit that he wanted.
without anybody checking him.
And that is that is the point.
That is the founding of the country.
That is what the country always has been.
Is rich white dudes doing what the fuck they want and creating a place where they can do more of what they want?
They're insulated.
Yeah.
If they gain enough power through manipulation and like stealing from other people, then they can like insulate themselves from any consequences.
Yeah.
And that's the whole point of the United States.
in my opinion.
That is what it's for.
The subtext that people have been able to read
into history for a long time.
And when they read that into history,
they were called like cynical.
And now it's just happening.
No,
I was called cynical and childish for years
for pointing this out.
And it's like, well, okay.
Don't seem cynical now.
All right.
Let's take a quick break.
Brian, I apologize.
Jesus.
No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't.
my god this guy's so down in the dumps.
Bitter as fuck.
He is about to get become the first woman president and every all our problems are going to go away.
Happy birthday to the future president.
Tweet of hers that's still up.
Oh my God.
Oh man.
Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Trump's stupid hair and other stuff.

And we're back.
And a thing that was going viral over the week.
weekend. There was a brief shot of
Donald Trump
leaving Air Force One, I believe
on his way to... If that was him
and he wasn't in a catering truck.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah. And they just like
got his hair color completely wrong
because he is now
sporting a
wildly unconvincing
shade of brown
which for the first time. I don't think
I've ever... Wait, I miss this.
Yeah. So you can check it out.
here. I just put it in the chat.
It's much darker than usual.
Whoa.
He's trying something. It does.
So this came two days after
he was asked if he wears a wig.
The drip, man. I mean, literally,
it's dripping onto his collar. It's dripping down to his face.
The Giuliani.
I went to the Peripelon.
I asked for the Giuliani.
They scored an ink on my cybers.
The four seasons
hair salon. It does appear to be a point
of acute insecurity for him, like his hair, obviously because he spends like two hours every
morning doing whatever the fuck that is to it. But, you know, the fact that people were asking about
asking him about whether he wears a wig two days before this and now he like comes out.
To you and he's like, hey, what do we think we people, people feel in this? Oh, you don't think
I have hair on top of my head here. Let me highlight that for you. So you can see it extra good.
I wonder if this logic would work. If you asked him,
if he wears a diaper and then he's like,
oh yeah, and he stops
wearing a diaper and then the shit just runs
down his leg. Every
time. I don't think, I think
he's amazingly
like, kind of, like his
superpower is lack of shame
around most things and that he
stands to shitting his pants.
Obviously, because he's like doing
it in the Oval Office
with cameras on him.
Like, with people standing directly behind. I think he was one of those
children that did it on purpose as soon as
his diaper was changed.
Right.
You think he's just doing it, like, as a sign of...
It could be, like, a power move.
Yeah, yeah.
You still go to the bathroom like an idiot?
Do you...
I just shit wearing it right at.
And Marco Rubio's like,
what do you mean?
No, I don't smell anything.
I don't smell anything.
It smells great.
It's actually really good.
I actually really like the smell.
I think we should make it spells this way everywhere.
We should make Cuba smell this way.
God.
And finally,
Halloween the game is a new multiplayer survival game based on the Halloween film franchise.
And it's generated a lot of controversy for reasons that have nothing to do with the fact that it's predicated on butcher knifing teens to death, which seems like where the controversy would come from.
it's this the the game feels like a desperate attempt to try to turn in something before gta six that is like
you know sort of like gta six light because here are a couple of the things that you're able to do
because he's walking so slow yeah it's like slowed down gta six so one thing is that and this is
interesting so it's been banned in australia because smoking wheat
helps players to see the location of Michael Myers in order to avoid being killed.
That is so funny.
Which I'm assuming.
So that's why I'm still alive.
Is that a play on like the paranoia of weed that you're like able to see it?
I haven't seen.
Something to do with like being high that would help you give you like.
Is that like it would give me an age?
Well, the sexy teens, there's typically like, you know, you're at camp.
Someone sneaks away to.
smoke and then they get, you know,
murder bludgeoned with
something. It's never that, right? It's never
a thing where you sneak away to
smoke weed and like that's what saves
you, right? It's always that you sneak away to smoke
weed and as a consequence
Yeah.
Well, no, because the horror movies punish you
for doing something
quote unquote wrong, either having sex or doing drugs
or whatever. So that's how it typically
goes in the movies. But I feel
like it would give a real
life edge
to someone
who is who is being stalked
by a giant murderer.
It's yeah,
they're like puritanical
like America's puritanical
politics just made real
with like because I think
like a lot of Americans are born
into this
you know morality
where it's like people secretly
suspect like ah yeah we're
all going to be sent to hell
or like murdered for having sex or doing drugs or like doing any of the things that are,
you know,
slightly fun.
And,
and,
and the,
and the,
slasher movies are like playing on that.
They're like,
yeah.
And so people have sex and they get killed or people do drugs.
So this,
this does feel like a change,
right?
To be like,
and drugs give you superpowers.
But wouldn't Michael Myers,
like,
he'd be,
he'd be,
running around,
trying to,
or like,
walking around,
trying to find you.
and he's like, that bush smells loud.
Yeah.
He walks over.
Yeah.
He slowly hacks it.
Yeah.
Huh.
Smells.
There's a cloud of weed smelling smoke coming from behind that bush.
There's coughing coming from behind that column.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm looking at the publishers for this game.
One of them is known for these asymmetrical par style games.
The other publisher is owned by Raphael Sadiq for some reason.
Oh, really?
Wait.
What?
It's called Ilphonic Games and he's one of the owners.
I did not know that.
That's just a little aside.
It's funny.
Funny to me.
I was like, wait, what?
Hell yeah, Raphael Sadiq.
They're just playing the audio is just Tony, Tony, Tony.
Feels good.
That's what they smell to weed to.
But the other much, much more problematic part of the game is that players who were given
advanced copies prior to the September.
8th release date reported a mini game that allows players to have sex.
Oh, the hot coffee incident again.
It's not particularly a graphic.
It just shows a heart meter while you do mutton bat, uh, button mashing, mutton bashing.
Mutton bashing.
This motherfucker I hate sheep.
That is crazy.
Um, which is a crazy term for having sex.
Button bashing.
Mutton bashing or button mashing.
Um, and some people have pointed out, like a British term.
Yeah, I want some Jamaican food now.
Include a bunch of teenagers and 56 year old Samuel Loomis, who features the likeness of,
uh, deceased actor Donald Pleasance.
So the game allows Loomis, a 56 year old, like the guy to have to have to hook up with
underage people.
Um, which, oh, oh, my, it's, it's, it's accurate to the real world.
definitely accurate to the late 70s early 80s
yeah yeah
the developers outright removed
the sex mini game in its entirety
I can't believe this is still happening
my brain immediately goes back to
GTA 6 is coming out
GTA 3 had a scene called
hot coffee that depicted sex
and they were also forced to remove it from the game
in a game where you murder prostitutes
and all the stuff
Like people really don't like sex in video game, like mainstream video games for some reason.
It's like the 90s conversation all over again.
Very odd.
Like they're so puritanical about sex, but then they're fine with like violence.
56 year olds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're fine with 56 year olds who shouldn't be seen in public.
Well, fine.
If you're not cool with that, we're not going to show this anyway.
We're not going to show.
We're not going to let you play this game at all.
Then nobody gets to have sex.
Exactly.
If the 56 year old can't have sex with teens.
No one gets to have six.
Trump administration three's new public policy.
No, it's one of their flash games.
You go to Epstein Island.
That's right.
Anyways,
we'll see if this, like,
it does seem smart to, like,
try and release a game that is,
like, GTA6 kind of coded right before G,
like,
as everybody's so excited to play that game.
But it does feel,
they should have been a little bit more care.
careful here, probably.
And yeah, they're not even allowed
to release the game in Australia because
it's because weed gives
you superpowers. It's such a
weird line.
That's so weird. Because I mean, you have day before
daylight, you have Texas Chains on Masker
game, you have Friday 13th game.
They all play basically the
same, but this
one little thing has gotten
it banned from a whole country.
It's also crazy that they banned it from Australia
when they haven't banned Reagan. And why
I know.
I know.
Thank you.
This one simple trick, your doctor doesn't want you to know about that will allow you to see
Michael Myers before your friends and it's just smoking weed.
Do you know where your kids are seeing Michael Myers?
All right.

Anything you want to leave people with?
No, you can find me with a massive bag of weed hiding out from Michael Myers.
Yeah.
And that's about it.
It's what I'm up to.
Stoner characters in horror movies.
I don't think they've ever done well.
I think they usually get killed.
There is.
There's like one or two where that's the bit is that the stoner survives.
but I can't even remember the names of those movies.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe it is.
Maybe it is an old tradition.
Yeah.
I know Cabin in the Woods had a stoner character.
Yeah, it was something like that.
It was something like that.
That movie was nuts.
It was this self-aware kind of horror movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
That's going to do it for this Tuesday morning.
We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other.
