I'm Jack O'Brien, that's Miles Ray. Hey. Hey, how's it going? Like the Lifetime channel? Is that what that was supposed to be? Zeit time, yeah.

Exactly. Whatever it needs to be. Zeit time is the right time. Yeah, I thought you're... Every time I hear that, I start singing the words to a very problematic DMX freestyle from an old Funkmaster Flex mixtape. The lyrics did not age well to that. But I will say this.

We made it through another week every shout out to all human beings on earth going through this shit right now we've done another week at least another work week another one um yeah those old mixtapes man those were like i i would ask my friend who lived in new york to like bring them back for me sometimes those those were dope those 60 minutes of funk tape yeah just yeah and the dj clue had some dope ones where it was just basically uh you know people like rapping over various backgrounds that they didn't have the rights to uh yeah that was the beauty of it and then you also got like quote-unquote freestyles that were just sort of like tracks they were working out that i mean the real fans know you

know when you when you pick up those clue mixtapes yeah yeah uh all right let's tell the people what is trending this fine friday afternoon uh we got doris burke trending unfortunately uh because she revealed that she tested positive for covet 19 and yeah there's just now outpouring of concern for her support for her yeah i mean it's every time there's like these celebrity or you know notable people who say they've contracted it i'm always like what, what's the exact purpose or what's the effect on the person reading that headline? It's meant to be like, oh, not even they're safe. Does it make people feel more scared, more comfort?

I don't know. Every time I see it, it's like, yeah, every day we're going to hear something like this, but my reaction has been less like, oh, wow, Idris Elba to now. Oh, okay. This, this is so widespread now from Boris to Doris. Everyone can get it. That's going to be the sun headline in the UK. Yeah. But I mean,

that's another notable one that I don't think happened the last time we recorded was boris johnson the head of state in the uk it's yeah the karmic response to people not taking it seriously seems to be pretty strong yeah we talk on monday's episode about a preacher who had a horrible comeuppance and boris who was very trumpian in the early days and was just trying to be like yeah it's all good basically uh now he's don't worry about it yeah crispy cream why is that trending they are you know among a few different fast food restaurants that have been really trying to do whatever they can to help frontline workers, especially like people who are anything.

Essential healthcare workers are giving free donuts to every Monday. A lot of places have been like, hey, bring an ID around if you work at a hospital or something. We'll hook you up. But you should really extend that to every person who is an essential employee right now because it's not just the healthcare workers obviously they're doing a huge part but there's so many other people from the truck drivers to the people working in stores to any any job that has you out there right now

yeah absolutely essential and again i hope we can come out of this realizing that there needs to be an emphasis on taking care of people who do these things that we are calling essential jobs. Yeah. Truck drivers and grocery stores, especially, man, that's, that is a thankless task right now that, I mean, I, I'm trying to be extra grateful to, to those people when I see them in person, uh, or, you know, online in the case of truck drivers, I haven't been standing out on the highway, just like giving them waves. Just doing that thing where you pull your arm down, like, honk the horn. Or you pull the arm, honk the horn, man.

But yeah, I feel like I've heard that people are not being that cool to them. So everybody should go out of their way to be nice to people working in grocery stores yeah and people who are delivering things too i've heard people sort of like leaving care packages out like of like sealed food or something be like hey help yourself i'd like thanks for dropping shit off take something whatever you want gift cards whatever you can do Yeah. All right. Cruise ship is trending. This is another scary one. There are four people on a cruise ship who have died from suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases.

And there's nearly 140 passengers and crew members with flu like symptoms that is just chilling off the coast of Panama. symptoms that is just chilling off the coast of Panama. And it was like a cruise ship that left Argentina and they weren't allowed to like disembark at stops after they went to Chile. And it's just, again, the cruise ships just seem like this, the nightmare scenario with this illness. And I also think, too, they've also been left out of a lot of the stimulus uh help too rightly so because i think so many of these countries fly under flags of different countries as a way to dodge taxes so i don't see why this government should be giving you a bailout wait the cruise

ships have been left out yeah huh the industry ship companies that's a yeah because that was like basically the hardest hit right of all the yeah and i think but a lot of people are making the case of like these people will put you know like they fly the flags of these different countries so it's hard to say that they're really operating as a u.s business when they register their ships to avoid taxes in other countries yeah yeah no that makes sense all right and then finally apple covid is trending uh well i kind of heard that they like launched an app what how how does the app work yeah i mean it's they just want to do some kind of screening and what's available is like you can do things like do a questionnaire

talk about like any symptoms you had any recent travel people who you may have been in contact who may have had it and then afterwards it'll kind of say like recommended steps so like whether you should be treated but it's also like doesn't really tell you how to get treated or other things it's kind of like it's well meaning but it seems like there's also things that i guess are just general basically big holes in our care system where it's like, if it were more organized, this app probably could be like, okay, you've been pre-scheduled to go have a screening test at this location

based on your GPS, whatever. But there's just now new information where if you ask Siri sort of COVID-19 centric questions, it'll adapt to give you more updated information from the CDC. So it's just, you know, we're seeing all kinds of ways that companies are trying to pitch in, but it's hard to marry those, you know, sort of app options if there isn't a good, you know, a federal response or like a really coordinated federal response to this. Yeah. I accidentally opened Waze on my phone and it explicitly said,

like, only drive if absolutely necessary. Right. Like, where are you going, asshole? Where are you going? Yeah, where you think you're going? Oh, is that important? Oh, really? Okay.

So important that someone could die? You fucking idiot. Okay. Why don't you stay home? But yeah, I haven't been outside my house for a week uh do you have a hammock no do you oh my yes and you've been using the fuck out of it dude hammocks i'm telling you hammock and that portal app ah boy i go to the rainforest at nights it's uh what is it what is the portal app i kept talking about it it's that app that basically like they had like you know emmy academy award winning like

so you know industry leading sound recordists go into these environments and set up those mics so you can just put on like a loop of like the the hills of wherever the fuck it's really kind of amazing oh that's dope. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm going to be setting up a hammock, probably a makeshift one, since I don't have time to wait for it,

but I'm sure I can figure it out. Yeah, just get some bed sheets and some broomsticks. You can figure something out. Some broomsticks. Shit. Well, all right, man. Another week in the books shout out to you for surviving putting up with having to talk

to me for two hours a day appreciate you what do you mean normally there's more people don't realize most of our interactions are not recorded yeah that's true Scott, Jack I'm missing all those jokes I'm missing your break dancing that you do in the office.

Yeah. There's so many things you're missing out on. Yeah. Fortunately, I've been sending you videos of me working it out at home. And I can't stress this enough. There's nothing like the joy on Jack's face when he's popping and locking to an Egyptian lover. It just makes you, I don't know, warm your heart.
