So things are looking good, right? Everything is trending towards Joe, but the TV networks are taking their sweetheart's time to call it. Everything's trending sleepy.

Nice. Shout out to John King, the goat, the boy. Let's talk about our favorite map correspondence. So there's John King. There's Kornacki who's stealing the internet's heart. I'm gonna go third party. My goat. The late night CNN analyst Phil Mattingly.

Yeah. This guy looks like a young Christian bail and he is in charge of shit over there. He's clicking. He's expanding. He's showing us 2016 results. So, you can have your King. You can have your Kornacki. I'm going Mattingly 2028.

Do you want him to run for president? No. I want him to call me at 828 tonight. Army time. Because he hasn't returned any of my DMs. I'm stalking his ass on social. He hasn't gotten to sleep this whole week. Why would he answer your DMs? That has been the hardest part of my DMs. I'm stalking his ass on social. He hasn't gotten to sleep this whole week. Why would he answer your DMs? That has been the hardest part of the election week is finding

out what time to go to sleep. Because there's always like a little bit of like more knowledge coming around and you're always like, okay, I'm going to stay up till this Maricopa dump of data, or I'm going to stay until this next little chunk of Wisconsin ballots gets counted. And then it's before you know it, it's two, three, four, five in the morning. And then you wake up and you're like, oh, now I got to check. But it's only been five hours and now I'm fully awake again. It's really stressful. Sludge.

Absolute coffee sludge from a case. This is Drano. Bleach. Finally, yeah. Finally taking president's advice. Amir, every time I see any bit of election commentary for you on twitter i laugh really hard solely because of your uh twitter icon just like an emoji and typing in all caps late at night is too much it's a real vibe i'm going slowly insane but i think we all are last

week on this show we had marty on and we all had we all made our election predictions, not who would win, but would we know by now? And it is 1 p.m. The only one that was right. Marika is the only one who was right. We do not know. We might know soon, but we don't know at the time of recording or at least that the episode came out. We still don't know. I am heavily I don't know if you know what this about me, Danny.

I'm a Joe Jorgensen guy. So I've been a thousand other people. I am heavily, I don't know if you know what this is about me, Danny. I'm a Joe Jorgensen guy. You and a thousand other people in the whole country. I phone banked to get Jorgensen people on board. Did you really? I also phone banked for that dead Republican who took office in North Dakota and we fucking made it. How many people were phone? It was like you and her aunt. Like how many people were phone banking for that? Calls per vote. You know how when you're hosting a Zoom meeting

and you turn, you start the meeting and no one's in yet and you're just staring at yourself. So it was that. And then I would just kind of type in a random number and be like, have you heard of Joe? And they're like, Joe Biden? I'm like, Jorgensen, actually. The other white sleepy Joe. Anyway, this brings us to our first segment. Subjective trivia. Chicago edition. So you did know because you planned this.

Headlines in from this week or week or sorry i introduced this the wrong way this is another this is our next segment it is uh it's a game called news headline from this week or subject line of an email from my dad so guys i'm gonna hit you with a sentence or a subject headline and you have to tell me whether it came from a credible news source this week,

or if it's a subject line from an email that my dad sent me. All right. Okay, cool. Up first, up in Pennsylvania and Nevada, Biden edges closer to victory. Gotta be a headline. Correct. Second one, re, don't come home for Thanksgiving.

Headline. My dad sent me that me that re as in he was replying regarding yeah dad can i come home for thanksgiving please so it was a follow-up he the original one he sent was don't come home and then he had something else to say i said uh but what about the importance of family that you're always stressing and he said we'll talk about it when you come home for christmas if you even make it that far i mean well at least you're invited pennsylvania gop asks supreme court to stop pennsylvania from counting votes received after november 3rd probably from your father that's it that's absolutely cnn all right next one no you can't borrow 10 grand to start a prawn shop.

So. In this scenario, are you leaving or is he leaving you? I think if you read the body of the email the idea is that he's so excited that biden's winning that he doesn't even need me as a son anymore does your dad really email you bro he never yeah he only emails me you just do a quick little text like what's up he says he only texts people that he respects all right is this the end of the manicure as we know it I hope it's CNN it's New York Times but I'll still give it to you your birthday is nothing to me

Now, of course, by next Friday, will we have an idea of who's president?

Of course. But we know that Trump is going to drag it out, take it to the courts. We're going to figure it out. We'll see how it happens. So there will be probably some underlying anxiety probably for the next month, right? You guys just kind of express how you're feeling. It doesn't have to be related to the election. Just any anxieties or things that are on your mind. And I will just kind of express how you're feeling. It doesn't have to be related to the election, just any anxieties or things

that are on your mind, and I will give you something to make you feel better. I guess I'm worried that the Supreme Court will side with Donald because he put them there one by one.

Ah, but did you know that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance? Nice. Did that make you feel better in there? The high has already worn off. Now I'm like back to worried about the other thing. Okay. I'm worried

that COVID numbers are going to continue to rise through the winter and things are going to get really bad. Okay. Well riddle me this. Penguins only have one mate for their entire life and propose by giving their mate a pebble.

A pebble. I actually knew that already. Cuts of penguins being like, look at this rock, girl. But it's going to be so cold and people will suffer seasonal depression and they won't be able to leave, eat outside, see their friends. That's the numbers which are already at an all-time high, soar to unprecedented levels. But yeah, I guess it's cool to think about a penguin yeah maybe if i watch like happy feet it'll make me

feel better for two hours or something clitoris has 8 000 nerve endings double that of the head of the penis and it's the only organ on the body which has evolved purely for pleasure you don't have to you have to say that one this is just a list that i found of happy facts amir you look tired is the go-kart diet not working i think i need to because this is only a quart so i need four of those um do you eat at all during this i'll eat the the like there's ground beans at the bottom so i'll have those um and then there's like ice prawns yeah prawns more than anything but uh i'm sorry i'm trying to stick to that this said ice and then changed it to prawns yeah well there's prawns in between

i'll eat a shrimp in between every um quarter gallon so you wash fish down does a quart sound stand for quarter gallon yes so four quarts and a gallon correct good then we agree then we agree and did you know that a group of kittens is called a kindle i did is that really is that at least i don't know what's real on these are all real these are all yeah but danny that's correct but you're right to not believe anything yeah i feel like the energy started way better than it is now and i can't i can't figure out where it went bad that's every episode yeah every episode with you starts off people are cautiously pessimistic and then it gets worse as their worst fears are realized how are how are you feeling jeff outside of the dad stuff um what are your general anxieties i fear that joe jorgensen will not run again. I'm worried that she'll be...

Well, not a force. How many votes did she get? You want total? Yes. There's no way she had more than like 100,000 votes nationwide. Who's the GOAT independent person to ever run? Who's the person they look up to? I'll be able to get up to them. Yeah, has a third party guy ever won a state?

Didn't Ralph Nader win Minnesota or something crazy like that? Jorgensen has 1.6 million votes. And that sounds like a lot. It does. I wouldn't discount Jorg. Yeah, that's more than I thought. How many did Kanye get? Nine.

Nine million? That's not true though. I guess let's see if Kanye did better. I hope not. 60,000. Yeah, that's a lot. More people voted for Joe Jorgensen than live in like five states. Which is proof enough that she should be the fucking winner, man.

Did you guys know that somewhere, somehow, someone is losing their virginity as we speak? That's one of the happy facts. What website are you on? I switched between a couple of them. These last ones skewed blue. Yeah, these last ones are just porn hub captions seeing men toggling back and forth holy shit yeah amir is that a guitar behind you no no i think you wrote lyrics to the go-kat diet

lyrics to the go-kat lyrics to a diet like the diet is a song what about go-kat to the go-cat. Lyrics to a diet. Like the diet is a song. What about go-cat to the tune of landslide? That's sweet. Like a song parody. I took my coffee and I shoved it down. Nice. I took that bean juice and I shoved it around. Okay. And I saw quarter gallons of that hot sludge.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean. I saw quarter gallons of that hot sludge. Yeah, you made him. And the landslide filled my glass. You made him leave. He keeps leaving so early. And then people get mad at me online for why the episodes are only like 35 minutes. You really move them along. You move along the segment.

This one was one. See, this just goes to show, I thought our Halloween spooktacular was really bad because i didn't have any time to prepare and people really liked that episode and this one i put like two hours into this shit and make chicago stacks like i said last time all of your segments are just jokes that you've written that we have to either say out loud or rate in some way. Why don't you host the next episode, Marika? I'm not a host type figure. You're the co-host of the show. I like to chime in and I like to razz

and those are my main... What does razz mean? To poke fun at? Yeah. Danny, you'd never heard this show before. Oh yeah, I'm a huge fan, yeah. So you have heard it? Yeah. Really? Yeah, bro. I mean, of course you've heard it. Oh, yeah. I'm a huge fan. Yeah. So you have heard it? Yeah. Really? Yeah, bro.

I mean, of course you've heard it. Yeah, this is a really popular show. Yeah. I followed it from its inception. Yeah, bro. Oh, I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad to know that you knew what we were going into. It's a super, I mean, probably one of the reasons why I work here.

This is huge. Okay. So you're being facetious. See, you're doing it right now. That's razzing. No, I'm not. I'm being honest with honest with you i don't think so you haven't blinked this whole time your smile is too white for me to trust you that's just because i'm black and it just looks like that but i promise you it's my teeth blend into my cheeks because i haven't brushed since i was seven i don't believe that either good dude well, do you guys have anything to plug? Oh my God.

Danny, you want to plug your social media, any of your art, anything, anything, any projects coming up? Well, because of COVID, I can't do stand up anymore. So follow me, I guess, on social media at followsellers across the board. I still have a day job here. So follow them too. I guess if you're listening, you already follow them. So you typically do plugs. It's like different from your job. So I guess you can just give an extra follow to HeadGone. That's fair. Are you on TikTok? For a hot second. I had some fire dog videos with my dog jamal my french bulldog but i just decided

it wasn't in my best interest to keep going that's fair as a grown man did they get did they go viral no i mean probably like probably a couple that had a thousand or two but tiktok is stressful like watching tiktok yeah i feel i only recently like finally got into the groove of watching it regularly and like scrolling aimlessly um but it's still like my for you page or whatever still isn't giving me the content that i want to see it's a lot of dance videos i don't care about when you scroll down every time you scroll it's another thing and this it starts with someone just like screaming. It doesn't give you any warning. It's like little BTS videos and stand-up clips and like dogs barking. All these fucking emojis.

It's the most addictive social media platform I've ever been a part of. Are you a part of it? All right. Poor addiction. No, like the – that i've been on because you like instagram you scroll and like people post dumb shit you know what i mean and i mean obviously there's exceptions obviously but uh with tiktok it's like you there's no white space that it goes immediately into the next yeah it is stressful and i don't i really don't like that. I can't like scroll through a video. Oh, you can just only.

Yeah. Yeah. This is me off a lot because some of them are just too long. That's true. I'm trying to get that creator fund cash, Danny. So like I want to get to 10,000 followers so that I can make money off of it. Oh, you have to monetize. You get to monetize after a certain amount of followers.

I think after 10,000, you can get a couple cents per thousand views. And then once you get to like 50 or 100,000, you start making that real money, that brand feel cash. Slavery. Got it. Hey, small price to pay for brand recognition. Stress. Yeah, I would say stress for sure.

How many TikToks have you made? How many have I made? Yeah. I think like six. Yeah. I feel like you've got to be doing this constantly to get those numbers up and then then you'll get the cash i'll post one today what about that yeah sure good election one or something or like with chicago random bad chicago facts that might be fun this show just
