Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet. Oh good's your favorite substitute teacher coming
in to teach y'all a lesson on how to be
a good person or I don't know, or at least
a savvy podcast consumer. Well, welcome to season one, Episode
one of the Daily Zite guys that product into I'm
Heart Radio. Everybody knows this show. It's the number one

(00:21):
rated news show on Earth that we just overtook the
Daily from the New York Times, So, you know, a
shout out all the Night Gang for helping us make
that happen allegedly, but look, everybody knows what this show is.
Every day we take a deep dive into America's share consciousness.
Is so grossed out, start dry heaving, and then we say,
officially off the top fund the Koch Brothers, fuck Fox News,

(00:43):
Fuck fondent on cakes. That's a new one we added
because they funk up wedding cakes. What is fondant is
just too much? As overwhelming? Yeah, it's just a weird
sheet of texture that no one needs. And Russia Limbob
and Shapiro, Tugger, Carlson all the rest of White supremaces. Yes,
please leave, please go. It's Monday. September four. My name
is Miles Gray A k A. I don't have the instrumental,

(01:07):
but pretend you're hearing, Uh, this is gravel Pit by
Wu Tango. Check out my party slid t DZs WHI
we're fucking with because we were talking about, okay, the
Wu Tang video with you know, being a good promotional
vehicle for the mcribb. That's where that came from. Christiana

(01:27):
Gucci Main caught that reference, spun that into a K
turn that just dirt into gold, straight up alchemy. So
shout out to you at Yama Underscore, Gucci Main, g
U C C I M. And he had you know,
he's he's on the run from the Twitter fed so
he has to kind of keep him guessing. But that's
what that is. And now I have the privilege, the honor,

(01:48):
uh and just just it's just the pure enjoyment of
having this experience of introducing my guest co host during
this wild ride. While Jack goes to Scout Mars to
see if it's if it's good enough for us to
live on, please welcome the greatest I would say, you know,
the the the scourge of the Unicode Consortium, the person

(02:11):
who was hunting them, the fucking the proponent, the lifter
of resurfacing machines, Little Sam herself Jamie Loftus Samboni once
told me, I re surfacer emoji. I made the smallest
zam in the decks. I was looking for some fun

(02:32):
that resurface. There's gospunk to make eyes really flat, like
a floorboard, do you which I like that. It is
like really bravely chooses not to rhyme at the end, Yeah,
like a floorboard, yeah, or just like flat like I guess, yeah, fine,
fuck it, let's just do that. That's that's the joke.

(02:53):
I guess you know. That's from my friend and your
Samboni Samboni. That was written prior to to rejection from Unicode, which, um,
you know, it is kind of fun to have a
new irrational enemy and I and I take unicode on
is my new fun enemy. For people who don't know
the fucking the ghoules at the Unicode Consortium, they are

(03:17):
the people. They're the gatekeepers of emojis. Okay, to get
an emoji included in like across all phones and mobile devices,
the Unicode Consortium has to come down from on high
and say yes, we will create avocado emoji, we will
create bacon, we will create burrito, But no zamboni. No zamboni.
I'm sorry. I got a series of passive aggressive emails,

(03:41):
one of which sort of made sense but made it
clear that they hadn't opened the document. I need to listen.
You can listen to Alex Schmidt's podcast on the topic.
But the differences He was successful, and but well, I
think what we need to do is, actually we need to,
like any great campaign, is we need to mobilize our
allies in Scandina Via and other cold countries where ice

(04:02):
sports are respected and exalted and say, um, they're trying
to leave out a critical piece of infrastructure that gives
us the winter sports we love and hold. So dearly
had a lot of Canadians in the comments being like,
I actually am am feeling disrespected. Yeah, look I played hockey,
full disclosure, so I have a connection to this Amboni.

(04:24):
But I believe it's worthwhile. And you know what, we'll
we'll figure out a way to do this with the
collective might of zeke Yang because look, we can we
can do any use of energy if we can get
this show to number one, the number one podcast in
the world right now, then there's fucking Moji easy. But
before we do that, we got to bring in our guest,
someone who I love having on because her takes ain't fakes.

(04:45):
Her takes are real and they hit harder than the steel.
It's the one and only Zara Norvach, the sheer lung power.
Yeah for you especially you're up in the bay too,

(05:05):
with the air quality not great. Yeah, and I I
go outside and I blow the ash away with my enthusiasm. Yes, yes,
we need more of that. So we need more enthusiastic
people to go outside and just scream at the smoke.

(05:25):
How long have you been in the How long have
you been in the bay now? Because I know last time,
were you on your way up there? Were you quite
settled up there? You're in l A still. Yeah, I
went up to go see my folks, uh, and I'm
here and I think it's been twenty thousand years twenty
five days to thousand years? Yeah, I think I think

(05:47):
it right leagues under Oh that was I I love
that graphic novel you wrote. It is fantastic. If you
haven't read twenty Leagues Under the Labe yet, Bazar nor
Box please check that out. Where do you get your
independent comics? Um? So, yeah, Zara, we're all I think

(06:07):
we're all on the West coast now. Dealing with the smoke.
I get constant messages from people who are not in
the state who just look at like a couple of
photos and are thoroughly freaked out. Wish they should be,
because it is a horrific situation here. Uh. And the
air I can't get over that, the air quality, and
like how much I'm coughing up stuff? Like look, full disclosure,

(06:30):
if I smoke three blunts like in a night, I
can cough up some dark things in my mucus. Okay,
but now not even smoking. I'm like, I'm already getting
things in there. But that's not for here there, that's
for my doctor tomorrow. My air quality level is that
a Pernie Sanders level? Right now? How How are you?

(06:53):
How are you? How are things where you are? Like?
Is it? It's just over it overwhelmed, wonderful, wonderful, It's no, okay,
check this out. This morning I have woken up to leafblowers.
Oh and I'm just like, why, why, why? Why? What?
Please take that. I'll pay you to dig the day off. Also,

(07:16):
it's just ash. Like I literally was looking at a
cloud of ash and try leaves whirling like a tornado
in the air. That I say is quote of like
it's just ash. Yeah, will be like, don't worry, it's
just ash from human remains. It's just like, it's just ash.

(07:40):
Though in the end of like people, anyway, before we
get too too funny on this podcast, on this Monday,
let's say give people a little bit of a preview. Obviously,
are we're gonna We're gonna dive into your brain a
little bit more. But the things we got coming up, Okay,
we're gonna have to check in with the e i'd
being with Han't you people ever heard of not causing

(08:04):
a fucking panic? Uh? No panic at the ship show.
It continues because now we have there's all little nooks
and crannies and nuggets that are coming out of this
a new one, uh, this time about Mohammed bin Salmon,
as well as some more defense weird logic deployed by
Fox and Friends to try and excuse Trump's and missions. Uh.

(08:26):
Then we'll talk a little bit. I just saw this
story about Connecticut high school football and I did not
know Uh, that so quickly you could get people mobilized
over the cancelation of a high school sports season. But
I get it. But it's a little bit. This is interesting,
interesting times we're in. Uh. Then we'll also talk a
little bit about some some more super spreader events, this

(08:49):
time a rally Trump rally in Michigan. A little bit
more info on those trump boat parades and like why
these things, like why they're so lit and sort of
what the subconscious motivation is of doing stuff like this.
And then we're gonna have to talk about good news
for Catholics. Y'all can bang guilt free now without having
the devil breathing down your back. Okay, what was that

(09:12):
on my back? The devil? No, but don't feel bad
about it, but that was part of the cank of it, right,
or just or like the devil on my back, or
making up other sexual activities you could do that like
weren't explicitly outlined in the Bible and be like, no,
we're good with this one, because I don't I don't read,
I don't see this specifically in the text of the
Good Book. Uh. Then we'll talk a little bit, you know,

(09:34):
because Jamie's here, We got to bring in some good
news for Babu frick Hive, for people who love the
character Babu Frick from the last Star Wars movie. I
think maybe has replaced Darth Vader for me as my
favorite character in Star Wars. So this is really exciting
news for about twelve people. I'm yeah, oh yeah, it's

(09:55):
and this is why we do it your back, yeah,
but first, but first, but first, Zara, Zara, what is
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
I just searched the Grand Canyon. M m what is
that my escape patch? That's my escape? That was my escape.

(10:18):
I thought. I was like how because okay, so to
get away from the smoke in California, for those of
you who are not in it right now, you would
need to travel a hundred miles mm hm oh really
that's how far we gotta go? Yeah, at least at
least so I was like, m hmmm, we're somewhere cool

(10:41):
to just like go. And I was like, how about
the Grand Canyon, because like, if I if I traveled
down to l A, there smoke there. There's a wildfire
in San Diego. Mm hmm. You go up further north
there's more smoke, including in Oregon where it's even worse.
Mm hm. And so I was like the Grand Canyon

(11:04):
and I'll just I'm gonna roll. I want to roll
down the Grand Canyon, roll like just like arms to
your sides and be like whoa, No, I want to
keep my limbs out so they break. Okay. I just
want to see, because why does it get to initiate

(11:27):
all the damage. I just want to see what I
can do, just like a kid, be like, I bet
I could survive that. I want to see. I want
a picture of myself at the bottom looking like a
broken matchstick. That's what that energy you're bringing, Jamie. You
got away from this boil, You were away from the smoke.

(11:48):
Did you come back towards the smoke as your your
great journey across these United States came to a conclusion?
Or was that the fire already begin? We and the
fire had we got here, lucky as we got here
right in time for the fire to start, because the
party simply doesn't start until But but yeah, no, we
we did not get here. We got here I think

(12:11):
the day before fires really started kicking up. And um, yeah,
we actually we almost stopped at the Grand Canyon. But
then I was like, no, there's probably I don't know
if there's gonna be too many people they're traveling. Is
so confusing that it's just like impossible to know, Like
where is it safest to stop? I think the answer
is it's true. Yeah, I went to Yosemite and it

(12:34):
was packed with people no masks. That's the lot of people.
People like the idea of like outside equals no mask,
inside mask outside no mask, which you know, I get
that it's a completely different scenario, but like when you're
in a crowd and stuff, like you kind of want
to feel like, okay, is everybody kind of on the

(12:54):
same page here on how we're going to get through
this versus like I can't possibly I'm getting mask me,
I can't. I can't keep this on the mask. Masknee
is definitely a thing, and it's just something I've really
like embraced as a part of my life. I got
a weird pimple on my nose from having it all
covered all the time. You got masts the ship. I

(13:19):
haven't been plucking my chin hairs for months, and then
I went in because of the mask. You don't need
to worry about it. But then I really hit, I
really pulled something that I was like, oh wow, it
was actually really becoming a situation under there. It could
be the masknee or the It could be the mask
or maybe like the two pints of ice cream I

(13:39):
can stress eat in one sitting. Oh my god, I
don't know. Maybe that gave me the pimple. I don't know.
I'm gonna blame the masks. Let's say it's the mask
ice cream. Never hear no ice cream is what you
used to put on the mask knee an ice cream
mask spot treatment like Mario? Yes, yes, that's do you

(14:00):
need about that? Zara? What's something you think is overrated
besides your limbs? Lungs? Lungs? Yea, I don't need that.
Go off you lungless queen. I don't need my lungs.
I when I opened my mouth, I wanted to sound
like a carp We don't need we don't need lungs, right,

(14:26):
I mean everything is attacking our lungs this year? Yeah? True,
No lungs November. That's oh yeah, no lungs November. That's
it might be no lungs November from all the screaming
U if people have to take the streets over a
contested election. I don't know. It could be no lungs
reason we are coping, Yeah, z gang right in your

(14:49):
favorite coping food, you know what I mean? Because I
look fish food that they know me at seven eleven,
and when it's not in there, I'm like, where's the
fish food? Ever? Bro? I like to. I like to.
I like to keep all the chocolate fish in the
corner of my mouth when I have a big bite,
and then I bring them to the middle and I
enjoy the chocolate fish as their own sort of thing.
And that's how I get down with Ben and Jerry's

(15:11):
um zorrow. What's yeah, mascutaine, shout out mascutaine? Rent, what's
the other one? That accutaine was the one that used
to like give kids like wild problems too. Oh yeah,
and you can't. You can't get pregnant on mascutaine. You can't. Right.
That used to be like the low key way to
get birth control in high school. Yes, I remember that,

(15:34):
because you're like, no low key, like unless you have
skin is perfect. Yeah, they have They have sex in
his Bronco on Sunny Slope after school. Dam there's a
lot of information. Uh zorrow, what's something you think is underrated?
Bottles of wine? Damn? Okay, I share right, try to

(16:01):
try to work your way up to a bottle of day. Oh.
I mean last time, wasn't it your birthday when you
came on? Oh, twenty years ago? Wasn't that the last
time you're on? I could have sworked because we're like, yo,
let's like because I think you're like, I want some
box wine. I think it was yesterday. Yeah. I was like, yeah,
one of those and and I'm done with the wine now.

(16:23):
H yeah, and my moved to gin. I've been like
whining it up. Mm hmmin duty whining okay, yeah, just
like you know, like, do I want tequila? I'm not
there yet. I feel like I don't. I don't know
about you guys, but I've been like really selective about
my alcohol during pandemic quarantine. I'm a social drinker most

(16:47):
of the time, so I've been drinking as much. But
when I do, I have, like I have very specific desires.
So if I go to the store and I'm like,
I'm like, I want some beer, I always like I
want this very specific thing or I want like this
kind of thing or whatever. It's never like I don't
know what is their wine? Sure, well there are some
alcohols that are like super social alcohols. Right, Smashing tequila

(17:12):
by yourself at home is one thing. But you know,
the tequila soda and lime outside it's hot, you can enjoy.
I was I went chaos at the beginning of the pandemic,
and I was like, we're getting the box of Franzia,
and it's just it is what it is. But I've
I've tried to do you ever have like a moment

(17:34):
in your life where you're like, I need to slightly
treat myself the smallest bit better and so no more Franzia,
And I've pivoted to Boata boxes. Yeah, nic sir. It's
a little nicer, it tastes and it feels less chaotic

(17:54):
to have a Bota box. Okah. But you know what,
if you get the really high end wines and you
don't have a hangover the next day, that's true. The
true that for the Boto box. Yeah, what is it?
What's the look? I'm so ignorant when it comes to ship, like,
break it down from me. What's why? How could what
could possibly be wrong with cheap ass wine from the

(18:18):
food coloring. There's food coloring in it. Oh you love
to see it? Wait for really that makes sense? I
mean how to get those like deep yellows? Are you
sure that? Yeah? I don't know. That's the bottle that
passed around on my corner. So gorgeous wine yellows. That

(18:41):
that's true. Like when you look at a bottle of
like like livingstone, you know what I mean, Like the
seven eleven wine is ship that like shardonay or whatever
you like, that is a deep, deep hue And even
me as a non wine drinker, it looks like a
bottle of flat beer. But it looks like mountain dew. Yeah.
I mean, no slander out here, though. The Wisconsin wine

(19:04):
bottle design while I was up there is just such
a treat and so the it is that there are
some local wine companies near where we were staying that
had a very uh graphic design is my passion kind
of energy on the label where it was a lot
of fonts, a lot of fonts, but the wine was good,

(19:26):
but there was a lot of fonts. I didn't know
there was a Wisconsin wine country there. Yeah, I don't
know that much. I don't know. It was like fruit wine,
so I think it was like I don't I don't
know that much about wine. Wisconsin wine's a gang. Let
us know Wisconsin wine. Twitter, please hopping our mentions? What's
the best Wisconsin wine? Because it's cold up there. I

(19:48):
don't know. I'm what's all I know? And finally, Zara,
what's a myth? What's something that people think is true
that you know to be false or vice versa. Outside
it's not real. I know it now. I've been inside
many many days, and I know there is no outside.

(20:09):
Mm hmm, just comparatively by this, Yeah, my Phoeo has
gone away now, knowing that the only thing that is real,
or these four walls and these faces changing on this
laptop screen. Here I am with my mascutane and my
red lipstick and your nice wine and my nice wine.

(20:32):
And this has nothing to do with the just nihilism
that goes along with creeping wildfires. And I'm a change
of things like that. What's nihilism when nothing matters? Oh? Wow, wow,
excuse me, I'm down the Grand Canyon, Mike Drop gotta go.

(20:54):
I mean, yeah, it's fine. Yeah, I was gonna say,
I think you're like turning into Cramer from the Kenny
Rogers episode where all that red light was coming through
his window and he's like messing him up, and like
the red skies of the like northern California, You're like,
oh really, yes, that's how I feel like when I
look at like people I know in the Bay and

(21:14):
I'm seeing photos of like fair lives too, and I'm like,
that's gotta be a I mean, at least here just
looks like shit and it smells awful and there's ash
coming down. But like the red sky, the red vibe
feels very disconcerted. It's not just red, it's dark. It's
blocking out the sun. Like, isn't this how the dinosaurs went?

(21:38):
That's true? Wow, I mean I'm resourceful, like a pterodactyl.
I'll turn into a parrot. On the other end, I'll
make it. Oh shit, Okay, I've been considering Marathon and
all the land before times. Maybe it'll be like kind
of comforting to be like, hey, they had a good run. Yeah,
look how much fun they had before that whole What

(22:00):
happens when we are when we are extinct and other
new intelligent life forms become like the top like it'll
be like dinosaurs, then humans, then like the people or
whatever organisms that we were so cute. I want to
be a bleep. Yeah, there's like a Jurassic Park movie,

(22:21):
but it's about like podcasters people during that time, based
on the utter destruction that was caused by their mouths. Okay,
well with that, let's take a quick break, look into
our souls and I figure out if this is what
we want to keep doing, and we'll be right back,
and we're gonna pay some bills and we're back, and uh,

(22:54):
let's let's get into some news. You know. Uh, the
president had a wild week last week, you know, because
he was out here going to his taped confessionals with
Father Woodward at the Church UM, in which he would
confess all of his deepest, darkest secrets, like you know,
doing diet genocide on the country, um. And you know,
the needle is not really moving. But you know, when

(23:15):
nothing matters, how can you be nihilistic? But now there's
like even more material for Americans to just roll their
eyes at and just get grossed out by. So there's
another excerpt from the book Rage by Bob Woodward UM
in which now there is an interesting interaction in which

(23:36):
the president describes talking about the Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salmon of Saudi Arabia, and you know, just that little
old thing. What was that, the Jamala Shoji murder when
he ordered the brutal murder and kidnapping of Jamaalhashogi, but
on foreign soil and Turkey. Okay, I think we all

(23:58):
remember that. I know it's forty years ago, but mostly
I'll remember this. So what happens is this is what
he writes that Trump called him Woodward on January twenty second,
shortly after going to the Economic Form in Davos, and
so he said, you know, he wanted to kind of
press him about this to find out what his feelings were.
This is what Woodward told Trump. He said, quote, the
people at the post are upset about the showg killing

(24:21):
uh and you know that is one of the most
gruesome things you yourself have said. And Trump responds, yeah,
but yourn is killing thirty six people a day, so um,
that was his first response. And then after a little
back and forth, he goes back. Trump says, I saved
his ass, referring to uh Mohammed bin Salman, and following

(24:41):
the Show's murder quote. I was able to get Congress
to leave him alone. I was able to get them
to stop. Now, the White House had no comment after
this nugget, no kidding. Yeah, and now I don't know
this doesn't I mean, the what about is um is
truly something? It's yeah, he uh, this is an American

(25:02):
that was dismembered. I don't yeah, but I don't know
if you heard about what's going on in Iran. So
I'm just gonna ignore what you just said because I've
thought of this other thing. That's one guy. How about
thirty six? And what are you doing? Yeah, it's a
it's so you know, these are the kinds of stories
that come out where we already knew this, that this

(25:22):
is what he was doing, like he was. Trump was
never taking this seriously. He was even though all of
the intelligence was like Mohammed bin Salmon directed this, this
was direct from him for this action to take place,
very little done, and then even to hear him, it's
like it's almost like more fucked up in a way,
because like we already knew that the president was covering

(25:43):
for Mohamed and Salmon and had no interest in rocking
the boat because of arms sales and just having a strategic,
you know, place to park your war parts in that
part of the world. Now, it just feels like the
knife just kind of goes in like deeper, you know
what I mean, because you're like, I don't need you
hear you confirmed the ship like we knew you like,
but that's been I mean, that's but that was the

(26:05):
I mean, I am interested in a in a cutting way, uh,
to to hear what is inside of Woodward's new book
and but his I mean it's not his fault, like,
but his his books on Trump. It's like it's bizarre.
It's like it's all just confirming things that we already
knew instead of revealing, you know, revealing anything. It's just like,

(26:30):
oh no, just if you were wondering if he was
just well aware of what he was doing and didn't
give a ship. Here's a pull quote where he just
confirms that he I have it on tape too, if
you want to hear him, right, if you want to
hear him say it's just like you can have like
this Dolby surround sound, you know, version of confirming what
we already knew. Um, it's I mean, I'm very glad

(26:51):
that the historical documents exist, but in the moment, it's
like Jesus fucking Christ. Yeah, we know they don't want
you to be friends with Iran because we're about to
hit second election. Medina Judd mm hmm. Yeah, the three

(27:11):
reel Actually, if I can be so blunt. Uh. And meanwhile,
Trump is still reeling from his uh ant antipa comments,
anti panic as I like to call it. He's antipa. Yeah,
he's antipa because he don't want nobody. Um. And so
conservatives are have been I mean we've seen it. They

(27:32):
have been more than willing to throw their useless bodies
on top of this ship grenade and just making things
worth wor sweather. That's like, it is the best image
I have come across to date. Well, you just hop
on it and just covered the band name to oh yeah,
we are shaking the grenade. Hold on. I like the

(27:54):
late singers timbre of their voice. What was that it's
a muppet welcome sire dead anyway. Uh, So you know
they're they're obviously willing to just debase themselves no matter what.
Tucker Carlson compared Trump to fucking who was it FDR

(28:15):
is like the absolute worst thing. Yeah, because he was
like he did he didn't say that when he said
there's nothing to fear but fear itself. He wasn't all
that to say. It was just sort of like people
didn't drag f d R when he was acknowledging bad things,
Like he didn't people knew the Great Depression was fucked up,
so it's not like he had to be like, guys,

(28:35):
the Great Depression, don't panic about that thing. You've already
been living in the midstuff. This is my you know.
It's like anyway, I wish people were a little bit
more in tune with history, but with this specifically. Um So,
the most recent just smooth brain defense like the President
comes from Brian Kilmead from Trump's favorite morning kids TV show,

(28:58):
Fox and Friends or as I call You, Old Maga
Maga and as They were really interested in this one
because they wanted to say, like, you know, the President
didn't do anything wrong, like this's just the line they
got to do. Even though he said he completely obscured
the threat of COVID nineteen, people are still just like, no, no,
that's not that's not what actually happened. And let me

(29:18):
just set this up. This is what this happened on
nine eleven, um, not one September eleven, on Friday of
this last week, where Rudy Giuliani was on Fox and
Friends to you know, sundown on camera and talk about
nine eleven and various other things. So this is where
Brian killmade spins off of Giuliani's like anecdotes about nine
eleven to defend the president. There's so much that you

(29:40):
just said that is so applicable to today. Number one,
you heard about an attack and you didn't call a
press conference to panic people. What did you lie to them?
I don't think so. Number two, George Bush, we weren't
even thinking about al kinda. Gore and Bush were debating
three times. It never came up blindsided, almost like the
pandemic metal left field. You could say that the number two.

(30:02):
Number three is government tacky secure enough to say, okay,
Rudy City, I'm the governor. He wasn't saying give me
a press okay, I can't even listen anymore of that happening,
number two. Number three. Number one was you didn't call
a press conference about nine eleven. What what I mean?

(30:24):
Come on now, come on so much adderall in that administration.
They can't keep track. Man, it's unreal. I don't even know,
Like I don't I hope Brian killed me. Didn't like
high five himself when they went to break after that,
He's like, yes, Brian man fun. I was like Giuliani
didn't call a press conference on nine eleven. Now, let's

(30:47):
first of all, there were reports that terrorists extremism was
becoming an issue. That wasn't That wasn't a thing that
was obscure. Also with even COVID, these are things people
knew about. There's not like the America America is going
to ignore their own foreign policy in the region of
the world. Be like, yeah, I know they're cool with
all that. We don't have to we can just ignore
that region of the world. Like that was the mentality,

(31:09):
you know, like people know the whole thing is so disingenuous,
but this is what you have to do when you
try and defend a president who out loud said I'm
going to obscure the threat of this pandemic because really
I don't want to funk up the mark the stock market,
let's be really had nothing to do with the human games,
had everything to do with the stock market. He knows
what happens. He's got one job. He's here to bankrupt

(31:33):
the United States of America and peace out, And couldn't
be more straightforward about it. I mean, it's like, again,
I don't know, I just really I was, I'm like
really listening to Woodward's fear from a couple of years ago,
and it is just so like, I don't know, Like,
if you read his book about the Obama administration, Obama's Wards,

(31:53):
you genuinely get like insight into decisions the President Obama
made that was not readily apparent in like public facing stuff.
But here it's just like it's God, it's it's man important.
But it's depressant because you're just like I knew all
this stuff and and and it's just being repeated back

(32:13):
to you in the most horrific direct the almost too
almost in a way that's insulting. Yeah, almost in a
way that you want to be like, what are you
doing here, Kim Jung Kadafi? Why are you talking to
me like this? What are you doing to my country?
Everyone in the world is worried about me. That's destabilization.
We're still in it. Yeah, And still finding our feet

(32:37):
and like, you know, there was an article I read
earlier today about like a psychologist who's like the trauma
that the president is already inflicted with this like bio
warfare campaign will be felt for decades. Like it's just
an inescapable fact that we are going through, Like like,
what is this biowarfare? What you mean like with COVID

(32:59):
or you mean like, yeah, the climate, all of it. Really,
but when war? Which war? Yeah, pick pick either one,
but yeah, on the politically right exactly, this one to
do with the pandemic. Unfortunately, uh we the research is
still out there for all the other wars, but who knows,
we'll see when I mean, hold on, just look out

(33:21):
your if you're in California, the West goes, just look
out your windows. Take oh it's still Mars. But you
know what, when I look out there, I think I
should have raked up some fucking leaves. So that's on me.
I apologize. I facetimed. I facetimed my uh my cousin
and niece yesterday and she was just like, what kind
of filter do you have on your camera right now?

(33:41):
It's like oh no, no, no, no, no, you don't understand.
That's just what the sky is like, Oh, brave you
outside face times in my backyard, I was just like
in our like in the back of the house, all
right outside, bravely outside for like three minutes, and I
scared her. So if you're gonna scare Zara too, we
know there's outside. I'm sorry. Sorry, we all know there

(34:01):
is no outside. There was only just not where the
red light is. So um the other thing. So Trump
has just been on a tear um. You know. He
had a rally at the end of last week in
Michigan where I mean this was something else. Like Trump

(34:24):
rallies have had a pretty interesting theme, Like for all
people who watched, who have the unfortunate duty of watching
rallies front to back, or for me sometimes just to
like kind of, you know, feel something inside, I'll watch
a little bit. The energy is not the energy is
not the same anymore, you know, the rallies they start strong.

(34:45):
But from you can tell just from like his energy
to the way the crowd responds to like talking points.
They're even getting bored, which isn't a good sign because
they used to go for you know, like white supremacist
Coachella and have them do all the hit and they
loved it. But now apparently some journalist saying, like in
the last few months, around the hour mark, people start leaving,

(35:08):
like even if even in the middle of him talking,
because typically they have to wait for so long just
to get to the front to be able to see
a deer leader that they want to like. By that
point they're old and ship they're like, honestly, I think,
kill my knees and we have to go. By that
point they have COVID by the time they get to
the front, and that was it. And so on. On

(35:29):
that note, this rally was packed thousands of people very
close together. No mask wearing, uh at, very little mask wearing.
A reporter for The New York Times was actually kicked
out because she had tweeted images from the rally pointing
out the lack of mask usage. The reason was she
didn't get a press credential. She didn't get a press

(35:51):
I mean, they're doing in a very American fascist way,
where is like, there is a way to do it.
She just didn't do it that way, which is she
didn't have a press credential, so she didn't she didn't
get her in time, so when she kept pressing the
office of the campaign for credential, they just wouldn't give
her one. So she showed up anyway, but she didn't
have a press badge. But they're like, you used your
New York Times account and tweeted it. Therefore you're working

(36:12):
and you don't have the things, so you can't work
here as president. You have to go because you told
on us very cool, very cool inhales where you're about
to start crying. Yeah, you actually can't do that. So yeah,
that like when when like you have that like coward
standing up for themselves kind of moment like crying. But
also it's very important, not it doesn't always mean it's

(36:34):
not a sign of weakness to cry, but sometimes you
got to compose yourself if you really want to give
them all that energy. So the other thing that was
just to give you some insight at the rally before
we get into the president's words, was again the attitudes
of the actual people attending. And you can only imagine, uh,
you know, with Donald Trump's quotes this week, how people

(36:55):
were feeling, specifically when someone from CNN is asking them, hey,
so what's up a y'all feeling about COVID in here
right now with none of the mask wearing, and uh,
here we go because there's no COVID. It's a it's
a fake pandemic created to destroy the United States of America.

(37:16):
But the president there is a virus and rotavirus and
that it is devil. That's his opinion. Truth. This is
the CDC said. There's not only less a ten thousand
people die from COVID, the other hundred and nineties thousand
have two two point six or two point eight other mortalities.

(37:36):
I'm not afraid the Good Lord takes care of me
if I die, I die. We gotta get this count removing.
You heard it here, folks. We gotta get this country moving.
And these people who can actually acknowledge their own privilege
or uh, you know, proximity to the pandemic aren't able

(37:56):
to connect the dots. And they're like, well, I think
God is hooking me up or or not that I'm
a retiree who can afford to socially distance and even
like their own like devotion to capitalism. We're at the end.
That man blatantly says like, well, you know, if if
the fucking like capitalism has to plow over me to
keep going. So be it. I accept it. Capitalism is

(38:19):
God's plan grenade right here, folks, this is the bizarre.
I gotta tell you. It is so surreal on so
many levels to be here as an Iranian American looking
at Mars covered in smoke, wondering how the second election

(38:39):
is going to turn out, and listening to people so
into their dogma and they're like, love of God that
they've am meshed with capitalism in this like bizarre theocratic twist.
On nine eleven. I'm just having like so many odd,
jaggedy mental moments. Yeah yeah, but anyway, I've got wine.

(39:06):
I was gonna say, it sounds like it's a glass
of wine. This what's twelve, it's it's past noon. I mean, y'all,
we haven't I haven't even told you about the rally yet.
The rally kicks off with Air Force one pulling the
funk up with the ceiling missing like two chains, and

(39:26):
the fucking Fortunate Son is blasting out of the speakers,
which is a song about wealthy draft dodgers during the
Vietnam War. So you hear fucking Fogerty, you hear his
voice the time unfortunate son. Trump comes out, it's like, oh,
the fortunate ist son, most fortunate UM. And then the

(39:51):
whole thing, like I said, it was just meandering, starts
off strong, says a couple of things, and then we
just get into like weird ship that people just check
out when they're like listening to UM. First, I just
you know, there's a couple and I'll play these like
sort of out of sequence because he's just sort of
ones that you have to check out. Aaron Rupar a

(40:11):
t at a t rupar on Twitter because he typically
will capture most of the Trump rally stuff and clip
it out for you on Twitter, so you don't have
to endure the whole thing. But if you follow him
on Twitter and you're watching live, it's kind of the
same thing. So one of the first things he did
UM was say that he I don't know, he got

(40:32):
an award. He said he won the Michigan Man of
the Year. Uh. And I just want to preface this
clip by saying, I want to just preface this crook
clip by saying, when it comes to Michigan Man of
the Year and Trump winning it, um, no, he fucking didn't.
And it's a made up award just so you know
what he's about to talk about right now is a

(40:52):
fake But is it a fake paget? I don't know,
but listen to him. He's just up there just making
stories up. Now, this is just like again, he's in Michigan.
I'm Michigan, man, your peep this whole that. But I
was honored. I was doing very well. I was honored
in Michigan. Does have anybody know that? I was given
Man of the Year award by somebody somebody became and

(41:20):
I spent like forty five minutes talking about how you've
been ripped off, how all your auto companies are leaving
and going to Mexico and by the way to Canada.
Two but how they're all leaving, going to Mexico and Canada.
I spent the whole time talking about it. I said
at the end, I felt embarrassed. I said, I hope
I haven't insulted to say too much, But why do

(41:41):
you let this happen? I stopped it. You just have
no more space in my head for stuff like that.
Like it sounds like he does not either. No, it's
pure jazz. I used to be like jokingly, like when
Trump gets off prompter. Man, that's just Trump jazz. He's
just gonna kind of do his thing, and there's no

(42:02):
way to predict what comes out of his out mouth.
He is now full blown like improvising anecdotes like really disconnected.
It went from Michigan to Mexico because he he was
the theme with him in Michigan is all he can
think of his auto plants. And here was another anecdote
gave about how he like basically told Shinzo Abe, the

(42:24):
former Prime Minister of Japan, like I told Shinzo, I said,
you gotta you gotta bring these companies back here. It
ain't happen, and you gotta bring him you gotta bring
these auto jobs back. And people like what's going on,
because like why didn't like Batman? Yeah, I mean, they're
all the same, you know. But I think in that sense,
it was just one of those moments where he he's
so sort of superficial in his understanding of like what

(42:47):
the working person's gripe would be in that state. That
all he was like Michigan auto workers. But you know,
he does know the history of Michigan, especially with Detroit,
you know what I mean, the things that have come
out of Ford. Uh. You know Barry Gordy. I think
people know him his famous music label. I forget what
the music label was called in motor Town. Um motor City.

(43:11):
Let me let let me let Trump just put us
hip to what he believes came out of the great
state of Michigan. Michigan gave us Motang, gave us Motown,
gave us the Mustang, got on the rebound, got it
on the rebank, sing Uh it's We were talking with

(43:34):
Danielle Radford last week about how it's just like at
this point, it's just like there's no more space in
anyone's head for this bullshit. Like it's just so it's
it's infuriating motang moang, And I just I wouldn't be
right to leave you with just a little bit more
Antifa fearmongering um, because again anti fascists, people who oppose

(44:00):
Ashi is m Yeah, that's the sentiment. You know, Bowling
League is not going to be thrilled about these little
comments that have been made. Well like to late to
hear this, how Trump again what even his perception is
of people who are anti fascists. But again, this is
very much the Fox News right wing media perception or

(44:21):
concept of what anti phizz, which is people clad in
all black, wearing masks and just like busting windows and
ship that like, that's just a mode of existence for
people who are just like walking the streets with chains
like I'm sucking anti It's like, no, you're you're a
conservative boomer. If anything, people who are like walking down
the streets looking for trouble. So listen to this great
just sort of again, he doesn't like to panic people

(44:43):
unless it's about making people fear anti fascists. They want
to shut down auto production, delay the vaccine. They want
to destroy your suburbs. Look at what I've done for
your suburbs. You know what I've done. You know what
I've done. Does anybody want to up somebody from Antifa
as a member and as a resident of your suburb?

(45:06):
I don't think so too. The wow next door, Oh
it's a resident of Antifa. No, thank you. Let's get
out of here. Let's get the hell out of here, darling,
Let's leave our suburbs. I wish Trump for president. He
wouldn't have allowed that to happen. And that's exactly right.
I'm sorry. A resident of Antifa has just moved anyway. Wow, yeah,

(45:33):
welcome to Antifa USA. That's a fun cartoon. Yeah, oh
hell yeah. Oh Miley Cyrus remix. Let's see, let's get
that one. So yeah, this is again the state of
the rallies now and just the and even in the
energy is waning. All the clips like their moments where
he brings up things like you know, just typical run
of the mills xenophobia and they can't even get excited

(45:54):
for that. So you know, you hate to see that
even racists have like a threshold for boring content. Um
they are, Yeah, you genuinely think they're all just like
getting sick while they're standing there and just running out
of steam, right, I mean his I mean just the
way he's even talking now, like he's just he can't

(46:15):
even gold the extra mile to get people to cheer.
He's like, and you know what I did for you?
You know what it was? You remember that? Come on,
cheer everyone. So the other thing I want to touch
on really quickly before we go to break are these
boat parades that we've seen or like everyone's like look
at this, like look at all these boats that have

(46:35):
come out for dear Cheeter. It's it's it's amazing what
has happened here. Two weeks ago there was one in
Texas where five boats were submerged. A couple actually sank
that it's been sort of a regular thing because like
larger boats are just creating like huge wakes that are
just coming over the sides of these smaller boats. On
conservative media, some people were saying it was sabotage. Other

(46:58):
people who actually know under stand water and boats were like,
it was not. It was the wakes of all these boats.
But either way, they've been trying. But the thing that's
really interesting is that a lot of this has become
just away for the president and the party and the
media to undercut, like polling numbers because where they can't

(47:18):
show polling number polls tightening, and even in Rasmussen polls,
which favor concern, you know, because they only use landline
so they typically skew conservative, he's not even gaining in
those polls. The whole thing is like fuck it, you know,
these boat parties are they show a group of people
coming out and that's what we can point to. And apparently,
like on the media, they are using this to sort

(47:40):
of say like this is the silent majority, like to
the point where even Trump himself as just saying the
polling is fake. We have a silent majority, the likes
of which nobody has seen. I just look, there are
thousands of boats and lakes and rivers and oceans, thousands
and thousands of boats. It's called voters for Trump, and
it's just just toilets with little boats in them, just

(48:02):
a million tiny titanics like right, well, and also great
sample size to like you, any any person I know
with a boat is an old white guy with more
money than me, you know what I mean, Or another
dude who all I knows is I don't know, somebody
broker than me with a nice boat, you know what
I mean. It's just a very specific group of the

(48:23):
boat owning public. Sure, the boat i public has spoken, Yeah,
I mean that story was again just it was just
so ridiculous that when I found out no one got hurt,
I'm like, okay, so that's just I guess funny to
me that making themselves. I was voted vote of the year, uh,

(48:47):
Michigan's boat of the year. I Vote of the year,
and I talked for forty five minutes about how I
didn't like when Chrysler left here whatever that was, Dodge
or you know, you know what I did for you,
I stopped it. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick
break and uh we'll come back with some good, clean

(49:10):
Catholic sex and some bable frick stuff which sounds so weird,
but uncle up. We'll be right back. And we're back,
and uh, time to check in with the Vatican. You know, see,

(49:33):
we'll see what's going on over there. I mean, as
someone who went to a Catholic high school and has
had a lot of Catholicism just smashed into their head,
even though I was, you know, don't believe it, but
I could. I could bang with the red the best
of them, if you want to talk Catholicism. Um, it's
always interesting to see what's going on with Pope Francis
that everyone lives called chill Pope. He's the most chill Pope,

(49:54):
which I guess when you know, I mean, it's like saying,
I mean there was Nazi Pope, so it's all relative.
I guess. Yeah. I was like, really, look at the yardstick.
There chills pope. Um. So there's a new book coming
out that someone you know there's working on and just
getting some quotes, and you know, he's had some interesting,
uh you know, takes that have felt more in line

(50:15):
with the modern world. And this time they're they're like,
what about sex, Uh, pontiffects father, what about fucking Pope?
What about fucking what's your stance on fucking Pope? And
Pope said this, uh, pleasure arrives directly from God. It
is neither Catholic, nor Christian nor anything else. It is

(50:39):
simply divine. Was he like jerking off said, oh my God,
the pleasure of eating and sexual pleasure come from God. Yeah,
that was my own emphasis on those words. But those
are his words. Called verbatim theater, A bit of verbatim theater.

(51:03):
I believe that's what it's called. You gotta you gotta
hand it to him. That's some chill pope rhetoric. I mean, dude,
the pleasure of eating and sexual I'm like, oh, sign me. Oh,
I'm like, okay, so he's a kinky pope. They're like,
does that mean I can masturbate while having a communion?
Wait for them, but like Catholics have been waiting to

(51:27):
hear this ship for for centuries to be like, God
comes from God. That's the loophole I've been waiting for. Baby.
That is a game changer. Someone's got to tell my
uncle's about this. Right, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
to my high school, march out front of my whige
school and be like, come, come comes from God, Come

(51:51):
comes from God. Yeah, I mean come three sixty. I'm
surprised my old high school never has me come back
to address the youth. Really everybody, Yeah, right, just so

(52:13):
you know, yeah, we could talk a little about podcasting
in my journey from the school and into the working world.
But just like all know, come three sixteen, Okay, I
gotta um, come comes from God, comes from God. Yeah, love,
leaf power, Yeah, got a leaflower going to solidarity, lea

(52:36):
leaflower solidarity. So the continued saying that like when because
they're asking like, okay, this is kind of a hot
take for you, you know what I mean, especially from
the church again, you know, like what's the dealing And
he said basically saying that, you know, referencing the lifelong
of the life, of the entire life of the church,
about how it's been condemning the sexual pleasures and things

(52:59):
like that. He described it as quote over zealous morality
a lot or wrong interpretation of the Christian message. I
think many people like also took that quote, and I've
I think their first thought was also like, Okay, but
what about some of these other things you all still
got going in the church that are sort of rigid?
I mean, yes, very valid. The what about all the crimes? Sure?

(53:21):
What about is there? Ah? What about the woman's ability
to choose what to do with their God give him body? Oh,
we don't get Hey, we just got to come. We
just got you just come for the first time in
the history of church. Yeah, and I look, I'm the
first pope to write come on a chalkboard and spell it.

(53:42):
See U m nasty style. Okay, he's like, he's like,
he's Bart Simpson. Come comes from God. Come comes from God.
Come comes from God. Come comes from God. Anyway, please
make it okay? And before these lightning bolks just fly
through my scene and strike me down to smite me,

(54:03):
I do want to bring a big bit of good news,
a reason for all of us to rejoice, especially for
people who are have a big investment in the Star
Wars sequels. Episodes seven, eight, and nine. No one really does,
but the New Love them. I love them. I love
also how read it? And the internet has an inexhaustible

(54:26):
energy source to keep rewriting the fucking films or re
editing scenes. It's unbelievable. Yeah, and you're like to the
point where like, did you like illegally obtain the footage
that didn't have a score underneath it so you can
like mash these things up, and they're like I actually
was able to like isolate like, Okay, thank you, just
so you know that's still not the movie and you're

(54:48):
gonna he was like, but Jamie, I really, I really
brought this in for you because Babu Frick is your
favorite character, and I think also for me when we
like around the time he watched it, he was like,
one of the best moments is that Babu Frick was
just sort of like this absurd moment scenes he's knowing
a t C fix. He's the one that like busts

(55:11):
C three pos, like gives wipe C three pos brain.
He's like he works with what's her name, the unnecessary
love interest they gave for Oscar Isaac m and yeah
he and then he goes, hey, that's a catchphrase. Yeah,
he's just you know, just for people who don't know,

(55:33):
I'm just gonna say that he is who lived during
the war between the First Order in the Resistance, working
as a droid smith okay, among the spice runners of
Kijimie okay, and he could repro and we don't have
to get into all of that, but they'll just sort
of his bona fetus, bona fides uh and that this
plush toy I think is really it's endearing, but it's

(55:57):
missing his whiskers. It's missing his whiskers and long old
man eyebrows that remind me of like I don't know
if I mentioned this the last time we talked to
Babu Frick on Zai Guys, but the like puppeteer who
did his character has this like whole backstory about Babu

(56:17):
Frick and how like Babu Frick has this like lost
love in his life and there's like there's a whole
piece that came out about it on Cinema Blend a
couple of months ago. Then it was like she has
this whole She's like people don't understand because Babu Frick
says maybe six words in the movie and they're all, hey, hey, Um,

(56:38):
but he there's actually a deep lore and I'm like,
I mean, I don't I'm I'm looking for a reason
to cancel my Disney Plus subscription. But if they, if
they did it Babu Frick series, I would be like, Okay, okay,
how are they? Oh my god? If I can stomach
the Mandalorian whatever that is, I don't know. I don't

(56:59):
know what that is to do a Star Wars but
overshadowed by Baby Yoda as the cutest Star Wars last
year that actually didn't discuss the it's like concerted campaign
of Babu fricker rature from the expanded universe or just
the universe. Um, I think it is uh is true. Um,

(57:20):
they are trying to subvert this man because he's a
droid smith. He's like a working class hero. Uh you
know what I mean? Yeah, exactly, Hey man, Frick, bab
bab man. Fuck it, I'm writing Babu freaking this man
gets it. Apparently, though in the original like sort of
iterations of the script, Babu Frick was gonna get got

(57:43):
and he would have been dead. Actually he would have died.
I'm so glad he lived. So now we can have
six seasons in a movie. And I just you know,
before he became Babu Frick, they were calling him Babu Zazzi.
I'm kind of feeling Babu zaz you to like, I
like that just as much, if not more. Or bring

(58:06):
him back, yes, Sara go off, Yes, Babara, bring them
both like put them together like like a MILLI vanili
Babu freaking Babu Zazzio. So here's here's the poll quote
that I know it's true. The pull quote about Babu

(58:26):
Freak's backstory is this, It's beyond the film. Babu has
lived a life somewhere out there. He has a lost love.
He thinks about her sometimes when he sits down in
his workshop and lets his thoughts drifted away. That's what
I think. Anyways, It's like Baba Freak is a fucking
like casanova. Oh my god. This is from Shirley Henderson,

(58:50):
woman who have voiced him. Yes, and she's like, listen,
there's more to this man than meets the eye. He's sensitive.
Now I didn't watch um Harry Potter, but she also
voiced moaning myrtle. That's a thing. Oh did she fun
It's I don't feel one way or another about it.

(59:11):
That's fine. She didn't need the to voice moaning Myrtle
because moaning Myrtle had like a body that did she play?
Is that the same person? I don't know? She said.
She's known for roles such as moaning Myrtle in Harry
Potter in the Chamber of Secrets and Goblet Fight. Weird. Oh,
I guess maybe that is her? Yeah? Who played? Yeah?

biting off a lot more than we can chew trying
to get Babu on the ballot for this presidential but
you know what, we need to unify and get behind
one reasonable candidate. Huh. I'm excited this. This toy doesn't
come out till October, which is just long enough for

me to forget that I ordered it and then drop

Jamie was not really thinking much about this purchase, or
you're always like, yes, that's right. I don't really, I
don't know. I I usually don't. I always worry about

(01:00:39):
that and then I don't pre order things, and then
I kind of regret it later I have Yet, you
don't want to be that one kid who comes to
school without a babu frick plushy. Oh no no no,
I'm not going to talk to you. No, no, no.
And I'm glad you pre ordered it. And actually I
will ask for evidence of that because if not, I
will have to block you on all my Zara. Thank

(01:01:02):

the red part of California, not politically, just the skywise
here all from Mars. Where can people find you and

You can catch me on this season of United Shades
of America with w km out Bell on CNN. Yeah,

(01:01:25):
I caught you there, follow me everywhere at Zara Comedy.
My favorite tweet is from Josh Gondleman. He wrote, every
so often I look at pictures of myself from February
as a reminder that I didn't have it together before
the pandemic either. I love Josh. That's the best. Oh man.

(01:01:46):
He went from like what last week tonight to Jesus
and Merrow? Didn't he? Very very I like that move.
Look at dude. I just I wonder what that's like
to write for Jesus Merrow. That's that's what that? What's
some kind of vibe? Is that exactly? Uh? Okay? How
about this young Babu Babu Zazi ak Babu Jamie, Babu Zamboni,

(01:02:09):
Babu Boni? Uh what what? What? What's up? Thank you?
First of all, thank you so much for you know,
being with me as I spiral out of control on Mike. Yeah,
thank you so much. Yes, that's my tar. You will
respect her. So if she asked you to do something,
you will also do something. Okay, thank you to my students.

(01:02:29):
She's a freshman in college. Oh please. So she kind
of like knows stuff and like, don't ask her about
partying and stuff. She she's not allowed to talk to
guys about that. Uh well, where can people find you
and follow you? And what's a tweet that you're liking.
You can follow me on Twitter at Jamie loftus Help,
Instagram at Jamie christ Superstar. I'm going to shout out

(01:02:50):
my dear friend Andrea Moore um at a more underscore
or less. She is awesome and we this week, along
a bunch of other people with Street Watch l A
did an action about so. So the framing for this
tweet is that the screenwriter for Point Break had boulders

(01:03:14):
installed where unhoused people used to live in an act
of hostile architecture, and a bunch of people moved the boulders,
and so I'm going to shout out her thread. It's
a really interesting look at hostile architecture in l A
in general, and if that is not a term you're
familiar with, today is a great day to become familiar

(01:03:34):
with it. But the tweet is, uh, Nimby spent thirty
on ugly boulders to prevent unhoused people from existing in
their neighborhoods, so we moved them. And the pictures are
very funny because boulders are hard to move and everyone
looks very tired. This has been that topic comes up
a lot, you know, like especially on l A. Discussed
internet anything's and it's still so baffling to me the

(01:04:00):
mindset of a lot of these people who are like
going to like, well, you know, the people are just
concerned about like their neighborhoods, because these people can be violent.
And while I understand that they're like any walking any street,
there's a risk of encountering someone who may not be
a do gooder, but like the idea that like that's
the only reason why, and completely missing the point that

(01:04:21):
this is a failure of this city and like absolute bullshit,
like yeah, it's the most heartless thing you could possibly do,
and like you're saying, like just missing a connection in
your head of like oh, if I put rocks somewhere,
then this person who problem solved like didn't have access
to the support they needed, whether that was medically, financially

(01:04:44):
for their mental health, etcetera, is in there. They want
to be there. And I just want to tell you,
if you're not in a city that has a huge
unhoused population, please start using the term unhoused, because that
already says homeless means you are not in possession of
a home, but house puts a little more emphasis on
the people who we pay taxes too, and things like

(01:05:04):
that to you know, ensure that things like that are
a basic human right, you know, roof over your head. Uh,
and it's also tight. I think who is it Brittany
Nichols too, I think was part of that. And I
saw her. I saw her Twitter. Somebody was like, I
took some of your pictures and put in a Craigslist
ad and basically on craigs and said, hey, if you're
looking for some fucking boulders for your yard ls rocks,

(01:05:28):
I'll shout shut up pretty as well. That's at b
is hilarious. Yeah, we're gonna come too. You should. Yeah,
she's she's the best. She's like another person who I'm like,
we follow each other and like like each other stuff,
and then I'm like, are we connect? We should use
our voices to talk at some point. She she is
like doing the coolest ship. And I've learned a lot

(01:05:50):
just from like following her alone. But yeah, so, but
the good news is the boulders. The guy who basically
organized to install boulders had to then pay to have
them removed because it's littering. Um, So I just liked
how like he hadn't tweeted in like four years because
I think I think Brittany had added him in a
tweet and I was like, let me see what this

(01:06:11):
fool is doing. He hadn't said ship and forever. But
I like how people are in his replies like, hey, turd,
you want to keep sucking around? Okay, well thank you
for that. In terms of me, let me just tell
y'all a tweet that I like. This is from at
Remember Underscore Sarah from Sarah Marshall. The tweet is remember
the nineties when David Schwimmer would say lesbians and the

(01:06:31):
audience would laugh and laugh and laugh. Damn, what a
fucking the lack of awareness. Man, there are times I
I can't. I still think about this. Her majesty, my partner.
She's like, you don't watch Friends. I'm like, no, man,
I don't see a fucking person that. No. I don't know.
I don't watch Friends. There's nothing about it that appeals

(01:06:53):
to me. And like, but everyone's like it's such a
good show. I'm like, Okay, I'll watch something. And then
I saw how like Matthew Perry's like like mother was transgender,
and they became like this whole bit I was like, Yo,
this is aggressively out of nowhere. Yeah. See, I like
and I've seen like your mom and your dad's a
cross dresser, and it was just like okay anyway, but

(01:07:16):
look how how far we've come from the nineties, which
isn't that far at all, Like let it go, let's
let these shows go. The man in a dress trope
I think that lasted until like three years ago. Yeah still,
I mean people still say things like people still say
that like terribly dated, problematic, you still like problematic terms.

(01:07:41):
I have to like hit my older family members to
it all the time, like oh no, no, no, no,
we're not no, no no, come on, keep up with
the Yeah there there was. Um I'm trying trying to
find the name Disclosure, that awesome Netflix documentary that came
out earlier this year that explores that trope and like
the portrayal of ends people um on TV and in

(01:08:02):
movies in in detail. It's really good. Yeah. Okay, So
that's that's my tweet. You can find me at Twitter
uh and Instagram at Miles of Gray and also the

Dancing Heaven. Uh A long may it live. This is
a I don't know how I got to this album. Look,
sometimes I go on SoundCloud and I end up on

(01:09:28):
the other side with some good music. Sometimes it's bad.
Sometimes it's a banger. This is a flip from Andrew
and True Hill. I don't see. I don't know how
they spell this, but it's Andrew and then a period
right after the W. And then this other artist is
t R V E. Space Hill. Okay, So I don't
know how you say that. Maybe if they're trying to

(01:09:48):
be clever using the V as the use, or maybe
it's an a like a SEP. I don't know. Okay,
I'm old. I don't know what the new things are
that the kids do to type their names. But this
track is called Solo Soal and it's got this violent funk.
I don't know, man, you feel like you in Brazil
and the shooting up your spine. Uh, like the Devil's wine.
