two thousand eighteen. Happy fourteen year anniversary. At the time,
the Dave Matthews Band tour bus emptied at septic tank
will crossing the bridge in Chicago, dumping eight hundred pounds
of human waste on the people on an architectural tour
boat right underneath them. My name's Jack O'Brien ak hack

the stage almost of their shows. So thank you go

(01:07):
to see them one. I I follow them. Yes, I've
been to you know, I've been a Darryl hall cous
school that AK had like the structure of a good
mystery where I didn't know what it was until the
very end, and you revealed it by saying that bad. Okay,
Well that's I'm also just not as big a Hall notes. Well,
you gotta get in the game. Man. You're a thirties something,

(01:29):
you're a white guy. You don't like home. I know
what's wrong with it. Well, we are thrilled, and we
joined for the first time in our thirds by the
hilarious and gifted comedian Hosco Okatska. Hi everyone, r Hello,
how are you? I'm good. I'm good dad. Yeah, thank
you for coming. I'm trying to think I've ever a
Japanese guest on it. Not It's been too long. I've

(01:50):
been holding a town for the Japanese up on this podcast.
So I'm very excited when I saw you coming on,
I'm one meaning to meet you. I'm only have that. Well,
I'm have too, So we make one home. Yeah, it's
really here. We are, you know how many years after
World War Two and we're making we're making things right

(02:11):
and a full Japanese person on a podcast. How about
that guy? Uh, Well, we're gonna get to know you
a little bit better in a moment. But first we
like to tell our listeners what they're in store for. Uh,
in addition to learning that it's the anniversary of that
Dave Matthew. Yeah, wait, hold on going back, They literally
emptied all their ship onto a boat, over a bridge,

(02:32):
onto a full tour boat of people, and so just
all eight hundred pounds a couple of months of Dave
Matthews literal ship just landed on the head of a
bunch of people who are in Chicago on an architectural
that just all time lucky, great moments in American history.
I didn't know that even happened. Good. Yeah, shout out

(02:55):
to Chicago, great great city to visit. We're gonna talk
about climate change and just what it's doing in addition
to creating the largest wildfire in California history. Uh, and
then to put out that fire. We're gonna talk about
a soothing blue wave that is starting to come into view.
We are going to talk about the GOP swamp boys boys, uh,

(03:17):
and just all the rampant corruption that is just sort
of falling out of the Trump administration and the GOP
these days. We're gonna talk about how these three random
mar Lago rich guys are secretly running the v A
even though they have like no association with it. And

(03:41):
so we're gonna talk about that in association with Trump's
golf game, which is a thing we should actually be
worried about, how much he's golfing, and with whom we
are going to talk about the new oscars. You guys, Uh,
they have buckled the pressure in the worst way possible,
it would seem. We don't know all the details, but
we're gonna speculate that it's really bad. Uh. We're going

(04:04):
to talk about Goldberg from Mighty Ducks. If you haven't
seen the picture, do yourself the opposite of a favor
and go check it out, just because it's heartbreaking it is.
And finally we're going to speculate about whether the Mama
Mia universe secretly takes place in purgatory. But first we

(04:26):
like to ask our guest otsco is there something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are
as a human being? Right? I think it was Jason
Momoa last just his name, yeah, and Aqua man okay,
and just because he looks good as aquaman, Yeah, I know,

(04:50):
he looks good. He looks good. I I just haven't.
I didn't know. You know, sometimes you don't know, you know, uh, subconsciously,
who you might find a active or what you know
really gets you excited. And he was one of those,
um you know, I saw him in the poster for Aquaman,
and I think I dropped my my my phone immediately.

(05:14):
I have to say I always bring him up as
the most impressive famous person to see in person, just
because he is as impressive in all the ways he's
impressive on screen. In person, he's like a huge dude
with all those tattoos, and highly recommend stalking him. He's
also really easy to find. I think I've excited that
there was like a water you know men in Water theme,

(05:38):
you know, with Shape of Water and then Aquaman. You know,
just can you imagine going on a casual swim and
Jason Mamma shows up? Right, I would drown, you know
what I mean, and like, well he would save you,
and then that would be the beginning of your underwater
right under right. That's you know, I mean, that's assuming
he's interested too. You know, I think have you seen

(06:00):
the trailer for Aquaman? I actually didn't get there. Oh yeah,
you just saw what is this searching too? Well? What
other poses you know are there of him in this outfit? Yes,
so I never got to the and his like scaly
pants or whatever those are jeans. I don't know what's
he going of pants as he went, Yeah, they are
sort of like they look gene genie. I mean there's

(06:25):
some leather too growing on, which I don't know how
that works underwater. Yeah, there's a lot of That's why
I asked if you saw the trailer, because there's a
lot of like movement the shots under the water that
I'm like, people that doesn't look like people moving in
the water. It just sort of looks like there are
bubbles around. So they're calling it under the sea, but
everybody's moving like it's just yeah, yeah, know, like even

(06:46):
their hair, like you know, it was it's a trick.
You know. It's fine that we're here to see Jason
Momo either way, I don't I am yeah. Um, have
you have you watched Game of Thrones? You know his
work from Thrones? I do know his work. And then
I found out like he got the role by doing
a hawker in the audition. There were no lines or anything.

(07:07):
He just did a hawk and so it's a cool
way to represent Yeah, I know what a hawker is,
but for our listeners, what is that? That's like the
Kiwi New Zealand Maori war dance. Yeah yeah, and so
like yeah, they really get super pumped up and very
this this primal energy of like you know, and I

(07:28):
can see as an audition for a character who doesn't
speak English and it's just like running around with what
then are they all called horse Nosi with? Yeah, you
know they're gonna take hold on, they're gonna take my
game with thrones pass from me. Shoot his people you're

(07:50):
talking about his people? RACKI thank you super producer Nick
Stump back from vacation from vacation, Yes, the racky So yeah,
of course, Like because you're speaking made up language, you
might as well just show like I can emote like
this sort of this king of totally it's yeah, it's beautiful.
They do it before, like football games at weddings. It's

(08:13):
very emotional. Yeah, and now like you're starting to see
what movie was they seeing where they were like kids
doing it Like it's it's like starting to get into
like our culture. And I don't know if if people
are like appropriating it, and I'm like, it was a
lot when Neo Nazis already much with tiki torches, and
it was like, can you imagine if they did a
hawk too, to just say, you know what I mean?

(08:34):
They're like, at least we're doing it correctly, like Polynesian.
We've got the detail. They now like torches, guys, this
wouldn't be right without doing the hawk? Oscar. What is
something that is overrated? Hanger opinion? Um, I think actually
juice bars. I know that people might be upset about that.

(08:56):
Upset them. Who cares juice? If you're getting that upset
about juice? I have beef for most people who work
at juice bars. How about you do juice? I don't
juice necessarily. I was taking some steroids, but no juicing. No,
like making it at home. Nah, Not only juice as
a verb personally, not unless no, I know it's become

(09:17):
a verb. And then what you know, some of the
stuff helps to clear my sinuses, so I've I've become
a believer and I go by. But then the ones
you just drink to like get nutrients through the day
or whatever, I don't understand, Like the meaning of it. Yeah,
we's just overpriced. It's like I'm paying eight dollars for
a bottle of like broken down kale and other stuff.

(09:40):
To I'm like, I get the like the I guess
the health cook for people that like, we'll see, it's
just that it's very clean and that's all I'm getting.
But then the economics of it, I can't get on
board with like eight bucks for that though. I know
all that took. Yeah, I saw my grandma going into
a juice bar when she was waiting for me, and
she thought I wasn't there yet, and so she went

(10:01):
and she came out with this like crazy like bring
moon moon powder juice mix, and she was so upset
that it was twelve bucks, but she needed to use
the restroom and so they charged her for you know,
and she was like, I'll buy something, but it was
for an immigrant. It's like still like witchy, you know,

(10:21):
Oh what happened to orange juice or apple juice? No,
we're straight on the vegetable green juice right now. Wait
when you say have beef, the people that work there like,
so you pull up to a juice by, you're like,
what's up? Don't give me a couple of water for free.
It's me just gritting my teeth and be like, yeah,
I'm going to buy one. But like so your relationship

(10:44):
is still like I still buy them. I don't know why.
They're always like attitude. You know, they give me attitude
because I have questions. I always think maybe I'm going
to try something new. I always end up with the
same one. But they hate it when you have questions.
They're like, well, you you know, you don't know moon powder,
brain juice. You know what is that? Moon Juice is

(11:06):
a brand, an actual brand out here that I think
I went to like when it was just one little
stand in Santa Monica and it was like fifteen dollars
for an almond milk that I when they told me that,
I already had like put my mouth on the straw
and so I was amazed. And then I was like, well,

(11:30):
good luck with that business model, assholes. And now it's
like huge. Everybody does moon Juice, and I think Goop
got involved. So because it's all about adaptogenic nutrients just
in general, when it comes to fruit juice, like we
think it comes from fruit, it's healthy. Uh, it's just

(11:51):
sugar water for the most part. I mean the healthy
thing about fruit is the fiber, and like getting getting
the fiber and just pressing juice is flavor, getting all
the flavor and its fiber out of it. Um. So yeah, yeah,
I mean I didn't. I'm not that mad, to be honest,
you know, but but yeah, I know fu juice people

(12:12):
who drink juice, and yeah, shout out to juice too.
Also just the cashiers, because I know there are people
working hard juicing it in the back. Those are the
people that get to ring you up. Right. You think
there's like sweatshop labor going on in the bathroom. I
seen it. I seen it where the cashier wasn't there,
The hipster wasn't there to ring me up. So I

(12:32):
was like, where is she? Her only job is to
just press a button and say it's twelve bucks. And
so the immigrant in the back who was making all
the juices breaking his back to make these it's not easy,
you know. It's the machines intense and like it vibrates,
and you have all these bulky vegetables. You're he's working hard.
He came up to the cash register and rang me up,
and I was like, why don't we just pay him

(12:53):
extra to do the cashier too, so I can do
less with the attitude of the girl being like, you
don't know what cayendas? You know what I mean? And
she was gone anyhow, I'm done. Yeah, yeah, you can't
explain how it chakra, I was, I don't know what
do is something you think is underrated? Paddington? Oh yeah,

(13:16):
Paddington Bear. Everyone loves Paddington do the movie specifically, are
just the whole universe of Paddington, the movie, especially Paddington too.
I know it's been a while, um, but I think
about it often and how to be honest, not a
lot of people saw it. I feel like I feel
like a lot of comedians are a lot of our
guests have come in and you have seen Paddington too,

(13:39):
like everyone so at least at least And it could
just be the l a media bubble where people are,
you know, tend to see more movies. But I've heard
that so many times that I started watching it on
the plane and fell asleep, But I was I'm going
to watch the whole thing because I was actually really
kind of drawn in by the whole thing. Yeah, I

(14:00):
think there's something to like talking bears Um, I don't know.
I mean, talking bears in London, touching the hearts of people.
I mean it's Winnie the Pooh. I don't know. They've
got some some thing going on this year. But whereas
Paddington is a real bear, Winnie the Poo's just some
fucking toy that Christopher Robbins like, Yo, you're alive. Paddington
two is about undocumented in Rance because he comes from

(14:20):
like Peru or something, right, yeah, and seeking refuge. So domestically,
Paddington Too made forty million dollars, but in four markets
that made a hundred and eighty six million dollars, so
it was a huge hit. But America slept on it
a little bit. And yes, I hear that it's like
the greatest movie. It's kind of what Zutopia did for

(14:43):
me to like kids sup personally. Maybe kid friendly movies
really just packing in a lot of messages. Yeah, right,
right right while being really entertaining. I don't know, I'm
so predictable. I'm just a basic bitch. Just what do
you hate? Jeez? What do you like? Paddington? Those are

(15:03):
not pretty under though, Pumpkin spice lattists and us Okay,
I'm done. What is a myth? Finally? What is something
that most people think is true that you know to
be false? Um word vice versa. Oh it sucks because
you know, I have this joke where I'm trying to
figure out why, you know, the battle against gluten. I

(15:26):
keep losing a lot of friends to it, you know,
a lot of actually just a lot of my white
friends to it. And uh, yeah, I talked about how,
you know, maybe white people are still evolving because there's
constantly new things they can't eat anymore, you know what
I mean. My husband goes through this, like every day

(15:49):
there's a new thing he can't eat anymore. But I'm like,
you're forty, what do you mean You're still changing? And
I'm like, maybe white people are evolving, you know. Uh
and uh But then I I just found out my
grandma's actually gluten free, like two days ago. But she said,
I'm done, I'm off the gluten. The doctors told her

(16:09):
she can't eat gluten anymore at eighty three years old.
How did you get all that gluten? Though? And now
they're like, well, now you got what was there? Does
you have a specific condition where they're trying to She
had a hard time breathing, and then she she was
in the hospital. She just got released last night. But
she so she thought it was her heart, like she
couldn't breathe, chest pains, and so they checked her heart

(16:30):
and everything was fine with her heart, and then they
were like, I think it's your stomach. And then they
were like, I think it's gluten. And I was like,
you cannot tell you that's a jump. Oh my god.
Was her doctor, the woman who worked at the juice place,
because I won't cut a bit her and she's like,

(16:51):
here's twelve bucks. So I just got off of gluten
free pasta. I was only eating gluten free pasta for
a while because is you don't feel full afterwards, and
I think my problem is I just eat too much
pasta when I eat pasta. But I realized that it's
just not as good, and so I just had like
normal pasta again for the first time on Sunday night,

(17:12):
and I was like, holy sh it, this is so
much better like the other thing, just like breaks apart
the gluten free posts a question. So they were thinking
that because she was having a hard time digesting gluten
that was reverberating into her chest and like breathing like that,
like causing respiratory issues, fatigue, you know, apparently gluten causes

(17:32):
fatigue and sometimes like inflammatory things. And so somehow they're saying,
for now, until we find out more results, that's what
you gotta cut out, which is like, you know, the
for her, that was the American dream being able to
eat bread all the time. Yeah, you've got complex microbiomes

(17:55):
going on in our stomachs that get funked up by
all sorts of things. Yeah, gluten doesn't discriminate, it's it's
more about like what I thought was in that's becoming
true maybe shit, Yeah, because yeah, a lot of people
that I know who like eat gluten free, they look
very healthy already, and I'm alm like what they're was

(18:16):
so positive to yeah, and I'm like, well cool, Like
you know, I'm not going to knock anybody for want
to control their diet. But I'm also looking like, you
look very healthy, so I'm not sure where the dysfunction is.
Like I would get this intestinal swelling right here, and
I'm like, you have a fucking six pack. I'm saying,
but you know it makes if it does make you

(18:37):
feel lighter than so be it I noticed that with
red meat though too, for sure, Like when I stopped
eating red meat more and more, like I realized how
less I get the itis from digesting because it just
apps all your energy to just try and to digest
all that red meat, but gluten, we're still homies. So
we're all these people just living with like severe ibs
their whole lives, and then just we're like, finally I

(19:00):
figured it out. I feel like I've met people who
have who clearly like, no, this is actually helped me.
And then you know, some people just do it because
they think it's healthy or sure it is in some level,
but totally yeah, yeah, I guess that is what my
grandma had. She constantly had to use investran for eighty
three years ship and she was like, no, it's just me.

(19:22):
I've done something. Yeah. Does she feel like a lot
better now that it's been a day? All right, we'll
check back in with your grandma. Got a future date,
all right? As we wanted to check in with the
microbiome around us. I guess it's not a microbiome, the bio,
the macro bioio biodome. Really, so, California is currently engulfed

(19:48):
by the biggest wildfire in its history. The area that's
on fire is currently the size of Los Angeles, pretty
big city. Uh. And we've mentioned before that in addition
to being caused by climate change, these wildfires, uh, they
contribute to climate change because you know, a city the

(20:09):
size of Los Angeles, LA's car emissions are famous villains
in the like c O two emissions story. But now
instead of a bunch of cars like fighting a little
invisible smoke into the air all over the city, imagine
that the city itself is a giant fire that's belching thick,
black smoke into the atmosphere. Um So, yeah, I mean

(20:31):
there's been fires forever, but just not fires this big.
Like I said, this is the biggest in the history
of California. Uh So, the ideas that we could face
a future where there's a cycle of you know, huge
fires cause worse global warming. Cause bigger fires cause worst
global warming, more fuel for the fire. Right. It's caused

(20:55):
by the fact that, yeah, droughts and dry conditions and
earlier summers and later summers just make everything into kindling
until all of us look like the chimney sweeps and
all of her twist just all the time just smeared faces.
But we're talking earlier. Uh, Dandy Fernandez was in the office,

(21:17):
and she just came back from Arizona, and I've been
to Arizona in the past, like when the environment hadn't
gone crazy, and it's like you can't walk outside, like
the sun is an aggressive assault on your like skin
and face and eyeballs. Um. And she was saying that
her sister in law's car broke down because of the heat,

(21:39):
like it just the battery died from the heat from
the heat. Yeah, and her brother's family, her brother and
sister in law's family has run through two air conditioners
in the past couple of years because of how hard
they're having to work. Um. And so it just started
me looking into like different ways that you know, we've

(22:00):
been building this world around us for you know, all
all the buildings and homes and lives and machines that
we've kind of developed were built for a different, less
hot world. And so like there's just all these ways
that different things are going to compound on each other.
I mean, there was a heatwave in Los Angeles a

(22:21):
couple of weeks ago that knocked the power out for
a lot of people knocked my power out on my
air conditioning out the infrastructure. Flights apparently flights can't take
off in air that is a hundred twenty degrees were
hotter because the air particles in air that's that hot
are too far apart, and there's just like not the

(22:42):
lift on the wings. It just doesn't work. Our planes
were not designed for this future that we're headed towards. Solution, Jack, well,
we all stay cool. Well, well, solve it after the break.
We'll solve it during the break, and we'll let y'all
know how it goes. Uh. Yeah, It's one of those

(23:05):
things where like the evidence is so clearly in front
of you, and you'd think that even the the fossil
fuel industry would at the very least be like, yeah, yeah,
this is uh, this is kind of fucked up. But
they stand to lose too much money. And I think
even with Trump trying to be like blame everything but
the Earth for this situation, it's just kind of sucked

(23:28):
up because yeah, I don't know, I just don't know
what to say. Because living in California, this is always
the thing. It's like there's fire season, but it's just
over time, over my life. It's just started earlier and
earlier and gotten worse and worse. And I mean last
year with the fires and like Ventura and stuff like that.
It's not just isolated to these like large swaths of
wild like wilderness where there's a bunch of uh, you know,

(23:50):
like foliage that's gonna combust and things like that. It's
like moving into places where people live and now and
it's just, uh, the evolution of it is is very frightening.
And yeah, to know that soon enough for like in
the world, or like our planes can't cope with it
and our car batteries are just dying because it's too
like the atmospheric temperature. I've just never heard of that before,

(24:11):
the batteries being too stressed by the heat just sitting there. Yeah,
what Trump? I like that Trump doesn't use the same
argument he uses when it's cold. You know, it's so
cold at Where's where is global warming when you need it?
And like you know that logic whatever, that's not how
global warming works. But you know technically in that sense
where why is he not talking about it now? Where

(24:32):
it's like it's so hot outside, I guess it's global warming.
You know what I mean, it would be the same logic.
His explanation is that environmentalists have made certain water off
limits for putting the fires out, and that's what's caused.
And it's like one of those arguments. It's the gish
gallop that Andrew t, one of our guests, talks about,
where people say something that's so stupid and have like

(24:55):
twenty things wrong with it that it just exhausts you
to point all of them out. People don't use water
to put fires out really of the size, this never happened.
They have all the water they need, like all these
different things. But yeah, so it's almost like not worth
arguing at this point because right now and he knows it.

(25:19):
It's not about whether he knows it or not. Yeah,
there was some article or I don't maybe the comedian
somebody like was pointing out like probably eventually when it
begins threatening golf course infrastructures, when he'll actually be like, oh, ship, right,
what the fuss going on? Like it just killed the fairway. Yeah,
you'll just build like an indoor space, so you know, Yeah,
it's just like the fossil fuel companies were the first

(25:43):
ones to know about this. They were studying it back
in the eighties, they were like, oh, ship looks just
like shut the funk up about it. So they just
figured out what their argument was going to be against it,
or like a bunch of coping mechanisms to help them
sleep at night. I think it's something to do with
burying yourself under just giant piles of cash and yeah,

(26:04):
and that's that's how they get by. But yeah, they
we're not going to convince them of anything new. When
they knew about this like ten years before anyone else.
All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back and we've solved it. We

(26:28):
did charge them with crimes against humanity. There you go.
That's how you do it. I thought it was walking
around with an ice pack on you. That's phase one
chemical ice packs. We're thinking long term. I'm sorry, I
thought we were just thinking today. Yeah, I'll do both,
you know, but ice pack on and then let's drag
these people to the hague. Right. Uh. I wonder if

(26:50):
clothes are going to change, like if we're going to
start wearing well, obviously we are because always clothing changes,
but I wonder if it will adapt to that, Like
I wonder if it already is like the way that uh,
you know, fitness casual or what's it called ath leisure
where is like the new hot ship in Los Angeles.
I wonder if that's because people are just like, yeah,

(27:12):
I'm sweating all the time. And even like in Japan,
like Unicloe like has a whole sort of sweat wicking
version of office where because it's so humid and hot
that it's like to wear cotton would just you'd soak
your shirt. But they're like, nah, not told me about
this before. Now they're like sort of like dry fit
sort of material but cut in like sort of your

(27:34):
Oxford shirt or whatever. Uh, and they just kind of
keep you breezing because yeah, so in that way, like
I think fabrics are changing too, because the more people
are sucking, you know out here sweating rorism is that
was called thank you super Producer and Hossie. It across
from the two of you sweating through my shirt every day.
And the first time this came up, they also have
iron free shirts. They're yeah, oh you don't have to

(27:56):
iron it. Yeah, I need to start shopping at Uniclo.
I think is the is the message the way fast
fashion is the wave. It's a wave uniclo. Uh it's good.
Sorry that was uh so Miles. The blue Wave. We've
heard it's comings gonna be a tsunami. We've heard it's

(28:18):
not coming, and it was just going to be a ripple. Uh.
And so it looks like it might be real based
on some returns from last night's elections. The Blue Wave
is not just a Japanese baseball team sponsored by Rix
who used to play for That's an inside joke for me. Yes,
so I guess. Look, there were some primaries yesterday. There's

(28:41):
a special election in Ohio that really fucking came down
to the wire. I was watching the returns come in
byten nails because this is a district that has been
solidly Republican since Reagan. I think it was the last
time a Democrat held that seat. And Trump won this
district in the Ohio twelfth Distric by eleven points. Pat

(29:01):
t Berry, whose seat it was, would win by like
twenty to thirty points some years and fucking last night,
Daniel O'Connor took Balderson to the wire and I think
lost by just around six votes or something like that.
But it's about like less than one percent. Or about
one percent, which is unheard of when you look at
the history of this district, and that should make people
very concerned because if you're if you're taking districts that

(29:23):
if historically always been solidly Republican and now suddenly a
Democrat is coming in and taking you to like within
one percent, that means Democrats are fucking overperforming. Uh, and
a lot of people are starting to look probably at
their own representation, being like I don't think I like
the this brand of politics right now. Um, so it's

(29:44):
it's a bad spot for the GOP because they had
to spend like something like five million dollars to keep
this race competitive when normally this is like a safe
seat or what you'd call a safe seat because you're like,
we don't have to put resources in it because it
it does its own thing and we don't have to
worry about that being a threat. But I think what
we're seeing is because there's a lot of suburban precincts
in this district too, that the Republicans they're not appealing

(30:06):
as much to suburban people as they may have. Like
when in seen when people just like whatever anyone but Hillary.
Now they're like, oh fuck, maybe this is not good.
And I think a lot of women have especially who
had who had voted for Trump, are starting to look
at it like his presidency and be like, yeah, they
don't they don't want to be near this. Have they
found like, has polling found actual shifts? Because my assumption

(30:27):
was always that it was just young people who didn't
vote kind of coming out and starting to vote now
because of how horrifying the whole Trump thing is. But
are they seeing that people who did vote for Trump
are now going back to Democrats? Well? I mean, I
think just by when you look at the numbers that
are and the people that are available, clearly from that
universe of voters, there somehow more people are skewing to

(30:50):
the Democrats. So I think just by virtue of the result,
people are kind of being like, I prefer this candidate.
And now Balderson is that his name? Uh? He the
Republican And I mean we've seen some special elections, even
one in Alabama where the Republican vastly underperformed. Uh, did
Balderson have any like horrifying things like picking up on

(31:12):
twelve year old girls? At them? All? Right? I mean
he's like a you know he's a trumpy dude. He
Trump came through at the last minute and threw his
weight behind him, so that helped to a certain extent.
But I think Danie O'Connor his sort of platform was
just more calm, like he was just like, let's address
the issues, like literally in Ohio, yes I'm a Democrat.

(31:32):
But he also stayed away from bashing Trump, which is
which is sort of like what Connor Lamb did in Pennsylvania.
Like a lot of these people who have been in
really solidly Republican districts, they try and if they're Democrats,
they don't want to jump on the beat the Trump
you know, until it's dead band, like, you know, they don't.
That's just not rhetorically what they need for their platform
because it sort of turns off those voters. But if

(31:53):
they just sort of keep an issue based of like yeah,
what about your healthcare and things like that, people are
much more open, right because people, yeah, there there is
still a culture war being fought, and if you just
managed to stay out of that stream, then you're going
to be in better shape than if you, you know,
take a side in it. Um. And then there was
also a primary in Kansas where Chris Koback won the

(32:20):
gubernatorial primary for the Republicans. Well, it hasn't totally been decided,
so this is like the margin of victory for him
is less than two votes and it was between him.
So Chris Kobak is like the same dude who like
started that whole fake voter Commission, which is just a
circus just to try and like perpetuate these weird conspiracies

(32:40):
about all these weird you know, voting irregularities, um, and
what did you come up with on that thing? And
he was like getting owned by judges who are like,
like literally one judge when he was arguing something in
court was like, you should go read a textbook about
like procedural law before you come back in here, and
like was just ran out on a rail. But he
is the Secretary of State for Kansas, so that means

(33:03):
election results are under his purview basically, so if there
is a recount, um, he could basically be overseeing, which
would be very interesting. But I think the thing with
this race that's interesting is that Chris Kobak is the
Trumpian dude, you know, he's the Trump Republican. And then
he ran against Jeff Collier who is not fully aligned
with Trump, but got like the sign off of Bob Dole,

(33:25):
who was like Mr Kansas Republican and he's super hot.
Right now, everybody's name is on the tip of everyone.
To be honest, I thought he had passed away, and
I when I saw that he had endorsed him, I
was like, oh, ship, Bob Dole is still alive. He
does look like a corpse with makeup on. So when

(33:46):
this so, I think you're starting to see there's a
little bit of a fracturing going on because even with Republicans,
the guy who isn't a Trump Republican took the Trump
guy down to the wires and who knows. I mean,
if this goes to a recount or whatever, they count
all the provisional bouts and he end That would also
be interesting because in the end they were like, I
remember this version of the party when it was Bob
Dole and prefer that and to this, you know, this

(34:09):
new brand. Yeah, something's in the water. Yeah it's there.
Although a lot of people yesterday were like, especially on
Twitter when I was just going through Maga Twitter as
I like to do on election nights, Yeah, that's good
for you. It's good for your heart. I just like
to know what kind of cool aid they're sipping over there,

(34:30):
and I gets your heart rate above one, which no, no,
I don't like that affect me. I'm I'm I've found
a way to go to like a very zend place. Well,
I just can't otherwise I'll be a mess because I'm
I'm naturally a warrior, a warrior of worrying, as I
like saying. But yeah, like now I'm an exciting warrior.

(34:53):
But yeah, when I looked, they're all like, yeah, man,
look at Balderson. He's like, Ohio, man, the red Tsunami's coming.
And You're like, hold on, I just let them believe,
I know. But in my mind, I'm like, wow, like
y'all really thought y'all were the underdog. This you this
was not supposed to be that close. That would imagine
like if a district somewhere in l A came down
in a Republican barely are a Democrat one by like

(35:14):
one percent, you'd be like, what the funk is going on?
It's just so it's it's just not the norm for
that area. So again, but you know, like conspiracy theories
like Q and on you got to try and just
shift reality to be like, no, this is a good thing.
It means there's a I guess the read tsunami, but
there's there's no, there's no. Yeah, stay at home. The

(35:38):
Drudge Report this morning had you know, Republicans hold seat
with like people cheering on as their like main story,
and now they've shifted because that apparently wasn't holding water. Uh,
they've shifted to Green Party space alien towards Dems because
apparently there's a Green Party candidate who got like votes

(35:58):
and would have swung the election the opposite direction if
all those people have voted for Democrats, which there's no
guarantee that's people who vote for a guy who thinks
he's an alien are going to go out and vote
for a Democrat. But the Kobak thing is interesting, and
bring that race up because, uh, Collier, the Republican who's

(36:20):
like the Bob Doll Republican, when you do polling with
him versus the Democratic candidate, uh, he is up by
a significant percentage. But when you do Kobak, the crazy
Trumpian guy, Uh, it's basically a dead heat with the Democrats.
So I think Democrats are probably pulling for Kobak to

(36:42):
pull this one out. Um. And then Michigan also had
a pretty significant race, right. Well, yeah, there's a lot
going on there too. So Rashida Talahib she won the
Democratic primary for the thirteenth Congressional district, which is John
Conyer's old seat that he left. Um, and she's basically no,
she's gonna run unopposed. I don't think that there's gonna

(37:03):
be Repulican run against her November, which would make her
the first Muslim woman to serve in Congress. Now and
just ladies all around the country, we're doing it like
in all kinds of primaries and things like that. Representation
has shot up exponentially for women candidates for Congress and
other offices. So very good to see. But yeah, Michigan

(37:26):
is also I think they're probably looking at having a
nearly all female ticket for the Democratic side come November. UM,
And you know, I think Debbie stab and now she
won her primary, and then Gretchen Whittmer one for the
gubernatorial race. But that one is interesting because, like the
Washington Post and other like sort of establishment dem sort
of thinking places, we're kind of like, man, the fact

(37:49):
that uh Abdul al Sayed lost, who was backed by
Alexandroo Kazio Cortez and Bernie Sanders. They're like, oh, I
mean the fact that he lost to Whittmer means, uh,
it looks like they've hit a wall. That progressive wing
is totally hit a wall. So man like better better
go back to center. But when you look at the
platform that she ran on, she was running on a

(38:10):
like medicaid expansion, marijuana legalization, LGBT civil rights. Uh, like
banning the box, which means like if you're applying for
a job, like if you have to disclose when you're
applying for a job, like if you've been convicted of
a crime, because that leads to recidivism, you know what
I mean, like just trying to get people jobs and
things like that, um and like funding planned parenthood, a
fifteen dollar minimum wage, universal preschool. So if this is

(38:33):
a centrist Democrat, my goodness, then like the old Guarden
needs to take a look at themselves and be like, Okay, well,
clearly the shift has moved to the left. Right. Running
against progress more progressive candidates always shifts the centrist candidates
more to the left. That's I think. You know, if
you're a progressive, you're happy to see happening, whether they

(38:55):
win the race or not. It's shifting the overall platform.
And I think it's the same thing that with the
Tea Party and the and the Republicans. You know, they've
just took them further and further right, right, right right,
and now they're like the party of like rural Americans
who have like don't aren't really completely disconnected with the reality.
So so there are these three dudes who are mar

(39:16):
Lago members just happened to be mar Lago members, you know,
there's nothing significant about that fact. One of them is
like pro Mutter, the extremely secretive Marvel Entertainment chairman. There's
a doctor Palm Beach, doctor Bruce Moskowitz, and a lawyer
named Mark Sherman. And none of them are u S
military veterans. None of them have experienced as government officials.

(39:41):
But they are pro PUBLICA unearthed like hundreds of documents
showing that these guys are basically running the v A
department like for some reason golf Bros. Yeah. Yeah, So
this is something that our writer Jam had written about
a couple of weeks ago that to Key then Island
is just that we should all probably be concerned about

(40:04):
Trump's golf game. Like this is something that gets trotted out,
you know, every every time Obama would golf, people on
Fox News would be like, look, he's golfing while you know,
mothers are working three jobs today and he doesn't care
about you. Uh, And you know, lots of presidents golf.
I think it's a prerequisite. Actually a president who didn't

(40:27):
golf else fdr she was in the chair though. Oh man,
I'm just being really you know what I mean, yeah, days,
Yeah he was, he was sportive staff. Yeah, I know
that guy was lazy. So but I mean Trump golf's
a lot. Golf's more than most presidents. I mean, any

(40:48):
excuse to wear those flattering khakis and white Yeah he
looks good. Um, but so we don't know who Trump
has been playing golf with. And as the Washington Post
has pointed out, um, you know, he's golfed with a
lot of people who have then just had these huge
deals like go in their direction or you know, they

(41:12):
think that that he's golfed with these people, but it's
like completely off limits and you can't like photograph him
really well golfing and uh, it's just, you know, there's
all these sorts of handshake deals that are going on
behind the scenes that uh, I think they said on
eighty one of the one hundred and eleven days Trump
is suspected to have played golf since becoming president. We

(41:33):
don't know who he was playing with at all, and like,
because he was playing golf with him is a way
to run the v as like he was like the
Prime Minister of Malaysia something like Elliot Broidy connected them
Like hey, like he was Elliot Broidy, who is the
who used to be a fundraiser for the RNC and
then had an affair with playmate and then possibly paid

(41:57):
for an abortion. It was like all this whole other
handle that we we know about as one of Michael
Cohen's clients. They were saying that Broidy was trying to
get his White House ties to like secure a very
lucrative contract with with the Malaysian government because Brody had
a defense company and was sort of being like, yo,
I can get you, like I can get you on

(42:17):
the links with President Trump and lo and behold they
like it's not sure what happened, but they didn't meet
uh and it looks like, yeah, that mar Lago is
sort of like the venue for a lot of this
informal power sharing and whatever you want to call it
power sales. Yeah. Uh. They say at least five administration
appointees were members of Trump clubs, which could potentially mean

(42:40):
that more potential appointees are meeting with Trump through golf. Um. So,
I don't know, it's just uh. I think he recently
decided his Supreme Court pick at his new Jersey golf club, right,
And those are like some of the dates on which
we don't know who he was playing with. Maybe he
was playing, maybe he like had them golf for it different.

(43:02):
Do you know if he's good at it, like it,
could he make deals that way if you want it,
if he's like, okay, holding one for me. I think
he's decent. But I also know from people who golf
and have like golfed with people who have golfed with him,
that he cheats like mercilessly, Like he like that's a
weird thing to do, is cheat at golf, Like there's

(43:24):
like sort of an honor system that like, oh, we're
all doing this for fun, but like you wouldn't cheat
because that it's not like adrenaline. You know, he's supposed
to walk. Yeah, I know, he cheats. He like, we'll
just like throw the ball onto the fairway and be like,
oh there is Oh my god. And then no one's
just like I guess this is what it's like playing

(43:44):
with Donald. But I feel like golf to like you
want to feel that you're getting better, So why cheat
yourself being like, oh yeah, it's a shell game he's playing.
You like to be like, Okay, this is my game.
Nobody else wins, but if you try to win, you'll
get shot kind of right, right, I'll just cheat so crazy,
like I'm just gonna throw the ball like onto the
green and putting green and be like you saw that, Yeah,

(44:07):
Tiger Woods shot in eighteen shot an MS thirteen. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. Oh I'm sorry, my hips don't like

(44:31):
we're just reminiscent about Shack the only shock in my book,
his hit the Lebanese Colombian Sensation. So guys, the oscars
have been listening to uh the criticism, and they have
decided to cut the program down to three hours, and

(44:54):
they've decided to add a new category, and it's just
the category they've added is oh stupid and wrongheaded. Yeah,
it's like so one of the criticisms is like, well,
nobody wants to see these movies. These aren't like the
most popular movies that are being nominated for Best Pictures.
So you know why we watched the show and I
guess they do get higher ratings when like they nominate

(45:16):
Lord of the Rings or whatever. Um, so they have
added a new category that they're calling most popular Movie. Yeah,
they used very flowery language. Outstanding achievement in popular Film
is the most popular ship. And we still don't know
what the eligibility requirements are, like how you determine like

(45:37):
how they would determine that, because at that point, is
that something you vote on like you would you would
think you would to gauge the popularity like they are
very measurable things like the box office receipts and things.
It's just that like numbers of attendees, right, or like
Twitter mentions yeah, or retweets the movie title. It's such

(46:00):
a weird thing and I don't like I remember when
Dark Night came out, people were like, man, that should
have won something you know that movie was too good
at the reporting actor, which is what it deserved to win, right,
But I think there are other people who just felt
like it was it wasn't for anything else because it's
a it's a Batman movie or whatever and whatever. You know.
I don't find these awards are whatever they are, but

(46:22):
they don't affect my life in any way, aside from
it's some ship to do on a Sunday in March,
usually right in March, and now like now for just
for three hours, for three hours, and then they're not
even gonna The other part of it is cutting it
down is means that they're not going to show some
of the other awards giving out being given out live,
which is you know, I don't mind. The length of
time was never a problem. But I don't know. I

(46:42):
live in l A. I don't know if it seems
like I think people and are like, yeah, what's oscars,
But I feel like people around the country I have
Oscar viewing parties or whatever. But yeah, there are some
categories I feel like we could speed through, maybe in
the middle of the program. The best sound mixing, I
also write exactly there's two sound mixing categories. Sound editing,

(47:05):
sound mixing or whatever, sound design that only a very
select few people know the difference between. Like you can
get rid of one of those, yeah, or or combine
them and just do it, like at the same time
when it's the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,
you know what I mean, So like get everybody just
saying yeah, if you're gonna add a category to you know,

(47:29):
improve the watchability, Like what about like best special effect,
best stunt, best casting. They don't even have best Casting,
which I think would be a fun award because then
you could show like what if this character had been
played by Ben Affleck, Like you know, just how better
the casting? Yeah, or like motion capture or other things.

(47:52):
There's so many other dimensions of filmmaking now that like
probably should get it. Yeah. I think stunt work is
one that we're seeing more, especially popyl alreties moved like
John Wick and what those directors have done being stuntman,
like really wanting to make a film that like really
showcased how good stunt work can be. Finding out how
they do special effects is like usually really interesting. Like

(48:14):
a lot of the time it's like an in camera
trick that is just it's basically like a magic trick.
Like most Alert of the Rings was not shot with
like computers. It was shot by like placing actors further
behind other actors that were supposed to be like taller
than them. I'm playing a perspective and ship, which is
you know, a good leading to best actor. Who had
to pretend that was a real person that I was

(48:35):
talking to you. Maybe they should just redo the whole
thing and keep it on like a like a high
school like your book, you know, like best Dressed were
doing the most popular best dressed, right, most likely to succeed.
What an honor that would be to get an Oscar
most even though we know the results, or maybe a
film that's supposed to come out that gets that award

(48:57):
most likely to preemptively They're like, we're really excited. Oh yeah,
the best most exciting coming attraction. It's called the Leap
of Faith award. But like we already reward the most
popular movies. It's the Yeah, it's what the money's for
you guys. In the words of Don Draper and me,

(49:19):
anytime I was complains about having to mop another blood stain, well,
it's getting what the money I've it's blood freaks me out.
Speaking of Oscar winning movies, Guys Mighty ducks. Everybody remembers
the beloved Goldberg, the keeper, goalie, goalie, I'm sorry, play hockey,
shame on me. The goaltender. He had the knuckle puck.

(49:42):
Isn't that was that his thing? He that was I
thought that was Keenan. That's right. Goldberg was the keeper.
He was one of the more likable characters. And the
actor who plays him is a gentleman named Sean Weiss. Yeah,
and oh man, so yeah, this is we went deep

(50:04):
on this yesterday. So there's an image that's out there.
It's a mug shot of him from the past week
or so, and he looks like a sixty five year
old man. Yeah, because he was arrested, like one of
three men that were arrested because they were like the
cops got a call about men behaving erratically with flashlights

(50:25):
and they pulled the most methy ship every Yeah, like
they were pulling up and they they're like, oh, yeah,
these guys are drunk or high and they took him
this station and then they were like one of the
officers like comments like this that one guy was really
witty or whatever, really witty and then when it turns
out like it was Goldberg from the Mighty Ducks, and
my goodness, this image of how much he has aged,

(50:49):
which because clearly that like he's struggling with substance abuse
is will shake you to your core, especially if you
remember Heavyweights and all those movies he has aged so
rapid lee I also if you just there's one comparison
that will put in the footnotes footnotes that is him
from two thousand fifteen and then the mug shot next

(51:13):
to one another. And it is, as Myles said yesterday,
it looks like he looked at the Ark of the
Covenant for like three seconds maybe second, took the life
out of his face. It really is incredible. It's like
the worst viral marketing for meth ever. Uh this image, Um,
it's just a tough thing, man. You know, like so

(51:34):
many and again do you see this so much with
child actors, especially to like they fall into substance substance abuse.
Even one of my friends who was a child actor, man,
he struggled for his entire life with this ship and
eventually passed away. But like it's it's really tragic man
to see stuff like this because Mighty Ducks Heavyweights. I

(51:55):
loved him as like as a kid, and like, you
can only imagine what this guy's career was like because
we started going through the IMDb and we saw like
it was getting a little light after like heavy Weights.
Then he was doing more supporting rooms. Yeah, and that
short film the last credit was like a sketch on
Funnier Diet, which they called a short film, and it's
it's really bad where he's like about twelve degrees better

(52:18):
at acting than anyone else in the in the sketch
and much it's not say much, but he you can
tell like he's on his way towards It's like a
in between the two shot and what we see in
the mug shot. But uh yeah, it seems like, you know,
he said the life taken out of him. Um yeah,
it is good to know that he I mean, wow,

(52:40):
like they remembered him. They said he hate there was
one wittier person and it was him. Yeah, that could
be an Academy word. Yeah, what like at least he
had his wis most charisma, most charisma, the sweetest, best
performance by someone playing themselves sort of thing. So you
get like Tom Cruise would win that a lot of

(53:02):
the time, just because he's always the same dude. He's
just like this energetic mother. Even in The Valkyrie. Did
you just talk with his regular he's like a Nazi.
I think they I think they did the for Red
October thing where they just like at a certain point
they're like, yeamn, we're gonna speak English. We hope you're
okay with that, right, right, but you don't understand. But

(53:23):
they didn't even do like accents. They just straight up like, Hey,
what's up. I'm German. Hey, I'm German. Let's kill this Hitler,
bloke Hitler. It's like a ghosts in the show when
people talk to when Japanese and she speaks back in English.
It's great, even though she's still had a Japanese brain.
Everything's great. Yeah, that's like me, I answer in English. Yeah,

(53:46):
so I don't know, we've talked. I'm glad he's still witty.
And here's to you know, recovery, Yes, recovery, it's possible. Guys.
First of all, this is a good reminder that, uh,
you know, things can get away from you pretty quickly.
And uh, there's actually a Paul Ryan interview on The

(54:06):
Daily Today that where they talked about his dad was
an alcoholic and Paul Ryan said he started drinking when
Paul Ryan was twelve and was dead by sixteen. And
like that's just an example of like, yeah, sometimes you
have it under control for your whole life and then
suddenly it just gets out of hand really quickly. And

(54:26):
I mean you just need to it's very isolating, you know, addiction,
and you just need to be willing to like talk
to somebody about it. Yeah, and and don't be afraid
to ask for the help to man, because there's so
many times people just have the the shame of it,
but really it's there's nothing to be ashamed of. Some
people are just wired differently and this addiction illness can

(54:48):
take a hold of you and you you need help,
and we need help, and we need to be open
to people. And again, like that's why I kind of
feel bad even talking about Goldberg looking like shit because
this may and his struggling yea. And yeah, you'd you'd
hope that he has some kind of support system around
him because clearly, like when you look at some of
those IMDb roles, it was like like bottom feeding like

(55:10):
l A types who are just sort of like, oh,
we got Goldberg from the Mighty Ducks in our sketch
and it wasn't you know, I just I'm my heart
goes out to you, Sean. What could be worse? He
could be completely sober and be Donald Trump and the president,
you know, tweeting. At least he still has his humanity
according to the police. What I'm saying, like, Donald Trump

(55:33):
is completely sober, Right, he's probably taking like uppers or something. Right,
he just never touched alcohol, but right, or whenever a
doctor prescribes him, isn't a drug. Elvis was the same way.
Elvis was completely against illegal drugs and like was not
a big drinker. But man, did he take enough pills
to kill him? What was what was like? Yeah, just

(55:56):
he had a doctor like Michael Jackson did who just
prescribed whatever the fun wanted and so he took all
of them. But were they like was he into like
downers or upper I think both sandwich yes, And I
mean diet works, you know, I think it's important to
consider diet. Whatever could be Burger McDonald's could be could

(56:19):
be the gluten that killed Did you have like an
impacted ship or something like a huge thirty pounder. I
don't know. I wonder if gluten has anything to do
with that. I have a quick question why the interviewed
Paul Ryant is that was that him just talking about
his childhood? And then is that him explaining himself? It

(56:40):
was interesting. So the theory that the New York Times
reporter was giving is that as the child of an alcoholic,
they're usually accommodating. That's like a stereotype of people who
are like go to alan and stuff. They're avoiding, conflict avoiding,
and they're just they've built their whole personality around dealing
with erratic people. And so for him to then have

(57:03):
his career taken over by dealing with this guy who,
for all intents and purposes, is like a loose cannon
back out drunk. He just isn't drunk when he behaves
away like that. He and also Paul Ryan was very
you know, uh, didn't stand up and say anything, and
that that was sort of the pop psychoanalysis and the

(57:23):
piece was pretty interesting. Yeah. I mean, he could also
just be a fucking spineless, evil fuck to have to
bring in his childhood into it. He could just be wired,
because you know, he's always had the fantasy of kneecapping
the safety net for you know, poor people. So yeah,
he around the gig at frat parties, he and his

(57:44):
homies would talk about ending social Security. So that is
Paul Ryan. So guys, real quick, we wanted to talk
about the Mama Me a Universe, Uh, the sequel to
the original Mama Me at the Aba musical that takes
place in Greece. It hit number two, but it was

(58:04):
a very close number two when it came out and
behind the equalizer to uh, and people are excited about
this movie. Meryl Streep has died in between the first
one and the sequel, because Meryl Streep just straight up
does not do sequels. But they've got share to come
in and Share is in this movie Meryl Streep's mother

(58:28):
for some reason, even though it's like she was, she
was not in the first one, and in fact, they
referred to her as possibly being dead. So our writer
Jam McNabb put together this theory that this movie takes
place in purgatory, and actually I don't know if he
put it together. I think it might have been on
A V Club. But so the A V Club put

(58:50):
together this theory that basically time doesn't make sense in
this movie, people are showing up at all different times
in their existence. So Sophie and the first movie is
the main character, and the first movie, based on like
things that are said in the movie, must have taken
place in two thousand and then they say that this
movie takes place five years after the first movie. So

(59:13):
it's two thousand and five, and her mother has died,
her grandmother's there, but her grandmother is only five years
older than her mother. And also everybody has iPhones and iPads,
which was in two thousand and two thousand five, so
it's presumably they're just not paying attention to details like that.
But because it's like this Greek island that is almost

(59:36):
the surreal environment, it could be read as they are
all in purgatory like lost, you know, they're all gotten
a plane crash or something, and here all like in
this in between and Meryl Streep had a breakthrough in
between and she moved on out of the afterlife, out
of purgatory until whatever next plane of existence is. So

(01:00:00):
Shares basically sucking up right, yeah, or Share outlived all
the rest of her family and was like, oh where
my daughter at? Oh she got out see her. All right,
well this Island's cool. Here we go again. Deep. Yeah,

(01:00:21):
how's the plot though? So I'm I'm glad it's a
metaphor for progreatory. Um uh yeah, I mean I know
the songs. I didn't watch the first one. Um, but
I was like I was telling you I watched the trailer.
I didn't. I just haven't really followed with Mama Mia

(01:00:41):
exclamation point and it's two right. Um. Well, but all
I know is that I was you know, I first
heard about it when I was watching About to go
watch the Mr. Rogers documentary and the trailers were playing
and it was like blind Spotting trailer that happened first,
you know, boom, black guy get shot, and it's like, well,

(01:01:01):
it's a deep movie, Oakland. It's about you know, white
best friend who's you know, kind of like trying to
be a winkster or whatever, a gangster. Yeah. I didn't
want to get another word because I don't know. Um.
And then suddenly it's Mamma Mia. The trailer to MoMA
Mia came up and they were like, but some of
us get to live like this, you know, shift different

(01:01:24):
shift in tone, right, Um, like this is Oakland we're
on a weird disco island, right, Yeah, so maybe it
did feel a little bit like the purgatory thing kind
of makes sense at least even in that shift in tone,
and also watching um, I don't know, it's it's about
It's about a wedding and a daughter tries to she
doesn't know who her dad is, right, I think that

(01:01:46):
was the plot of the first one. Actually apparently Mama
MEA Here we Go Again, which is the sub subtitle
of this one, does end with a police shooting. So good.
But Andy Garcia has in interviews said hinted he shows
up as shares love interest and hinted that his character

(01:02:07):
may have been Meryl Streep's father. Andy Garcia seven years
younger than Meryl Streep. So it's just like this universe
makes note and he's getting it. Sounds like everything is
actually revolving around Meryl streep schedule. Right, Actually, yeah, that
is purgatory. I don't know. Yeah. Anyways, Otsco, it's been

(01:02:28):
so fun having you. Where can people find you? Follow you?
People can find me at Otsco Comedy on the platforms
um and yeah, my website, my entire name, otscod scott
dot com or just find me at Otsco Comedy. Yeah,

(01:02:49):
and do you have a tweet or anything from social
media that you've been enjoying of late? Um, well, this
morning I woke up to Aquafina crying out of joy
about Crazy Rich Asians. Um. Which made me happy? Is
she she's in it? Yeah, she's one of She's like

(01:03:09):
an auntie in it and with a she has a
wig on. It's like you can tell it's a wig,
but she looks just like my aunt And I don't
know if my aunt wears a wig. But yeah, it's
that that made me happy. Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty excited
for that movie. I am. At first, I was like, well,
you know, I don't, um know. At first I made

(01:03:30):
the joke that like, okay, crazy rich Asians representation, But
I'm more excited about the sequel, you know, Asians that
can relate to because it's about like the richest man
in Singapore game. I don't know what that feels like,
but you know, it is the first Asian American focused
film to come out from a big studio into five years,

(01:03:51):
so it means a lot to people. Yeah, like you know,
like like everything you named right with, like Rashida rashidas Libe. Mean,
we're still seeing the first everything, so it's like calm down.
People are like they're going to take over. It's like, no,
we just literally Tiffany Hattish was the first black female
comedian to Hostess and now right crazy, I just thought

(01:04:13):
there was more no, yeah, but then we're still seeing
the first ye So yeah, maybe the sequel will just
be about you know, growing up with like Asian moms
who don't have a microwave and won't buy one. Yeah,
and then you're embarrassed having friends over because like, how
do we have my popcorn? I gotta be like my mom.
Done is different in Japan. Whatever. Yeah, maybe that's fresh

(01:04:35):
off the boat. Yeah, right, Miles, where can people fund you? Oh?
You can find me on Twitter and Instagram at miles
of Gray. And what is a tweet that I'm liking? Okay,
this one is from the Onion because they just relate
to my life all the time. There's some one who
says man races against time to take out trash bag

(01:04:56):
with widening puncture, because my god, I'm the fucking king
of taking the wild torn bag of the hand and
running as fast as I can without getting garbage juice
on the floor because I don't know why I still
do it though. Yeah, like I know it's a bad situation,
but in my mind, I still have a confidence that,
like somehow I can hold the bag in a way

(01:05:17):
that all this you know, nasty can't put this back
in the trash can. So yeah, right, they just drag
it across the floor trail. Yeah, very very good. Juice
spot garbage juice. Yeah, one of my favorites. I think
they call it John but juice at dan Ment Toasts tweeted, Hey, Siri,

(01:05:37):
do they still make grape nuts? Siri? Jesus Christ go
to sleep? And Bridget Greenberg hilarious young comic from Cracked tweeted,
can't decide if I'm depressed or just genuinely don't have
an opinion on bird scooters. Back to what we talked

recommend the album up too she is. It's just it's

(01:07:10):
