I have been here for a year. Came from New York.
Uh No, I was there for nine years when from Indianapolis, Indiana. Yeah,
but also kind of all over because my dad was
in the military. Else. I was born in Okinawa, Japan, Japanese. Yeah.

(02:15):
When I was younger, I would tell kids I was
born in Japan. They'd be like, oh, I can see it.
I was like, oh no, both my parents are black.
It just happened to physically be there, me being black,
and these people always think I'm Filipino. Filipino and I'm like, yeah,

(02:39):
and then Lexing, Tan Kentucky, San Antonio, Texas, um Riverside, California, Hampton, Virginia.
And then I was in Indiana from like fifth grade
to high school. Okay, so your true formative years. Okay,
my family moved around a lot, and we did Lexington
and my parents did Indianapolis was out of the house.

(03:01):
Are they still there now they're in Philadelphia, They're back home. Yeah.
Innian Apples is nice. It's uh, you know. I didn't
love it when I was there because no one loves
where they grow up. But now that I go back
as an adult, I'm like, oh, they got like cool
bars and restaurants, yeah, making it a nice actual sitting.
What's indian apple? What's like a food that you can
that you will only get in Indianapolis. Not that you

(03:24):
can only get it there, but there's something about getting
it there that there's that shrimp cocktail looks good. There's
like some steak place that has a shrimp cocktail with
it's basically that the cocktail sauce is almost it's like
horseradish and it just like fox you up real bad,

(03:44):
but it's pretty good. I forget the name of the place.
St Elmo Steakhouse, Yes, almost google Auto breaks at Indianapolis
Shrimp Cocktail place. Yeah. I like Skyline Chili Okay, yeah,
it's real good and tasty. And um, would you have
a Coney three way four away? Yeah? Yeah, I still

(04:06):
haven't really had the spaghetti person. I just eat the conies.
I do like the version too, But I mean, honestly,
all that was good. Yeah yeah, but yeah, that's a
nice Indianapolis memory for me. All right. I was like
asking about food because I'm always especially yeah. Yeah, well
yesterday I almost blacked out from not eating all day,

(04:28):
and that's on me. That last recording was I don't
remember a single thing we said. We it was. We
recorded it like four thirty and hadn't eaten lunch because
we were all over the place. I've only painted a
couple of times, and it has been because of the Yeah.
Yeah that happened to me at a concert. But I
didn't eat all day. I didn't drink all day, and

(04:48):
then I smoked a whole Backwoods blunt to my head
in front of a base like a Subwoffer then my
eyes rolled back and my homie caught me. And then
I was like, I think that happened to me, Like
a couple of years ago, I was at a a concert.
It was a festival, the same thing I didn't. I mean,
we had a half a sandwich that morning, a lot
of rose, and then took it edible stood in the

(05:10):
direct sunlight and you know how like on those old
school TVs and you turn off the TV and the picture, Yeah,
it's really small. It was like that, Like I was like,
I can't see anything anymore. And then I was just
on the ground. Are my sunglasses getting small? All right?

(05:30):
So yere, We're going to get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
our listeners just a couple of the things we're talking
about today, big pop tart news, so we're gonna check
them with that. We're gonna check in with the impeachment inquiry,
but I'm talking about impeaching this. We're going to uh
talk about the debate democratic debate that happened last night.

(05:52):
We're gonna talk about how Bloomberg and daval Patrick are
holding up. We haven't heard much about their campaigns since
they entered, h We're gonna talk about the president's cognitive decline. Uh,
conservative tears over Chick fil A, all of that and
plenty more. But first this year we like task our
guests what is something from your search history that is

(06:14):
revealing about who you are? Okay, well, the last thing
I googled was how old is Denzel Washington? Because my
friend sent me a picture of him and was like,
doesn't he look so bad? I was like, actually, think
he looks really good for however old he is. But
I couldn't remember. I was like, I, actually I don't
know how old he is. And I looked up and
I was like, sixty five. Yeah, it looks he looks Yeah.

(06:34):
What was the photo that they showed you that? Um?
I think he was like at a party or something,
so kind of hat on a T shirt. He looks
more casual than usually. I was like, that's not enough
to be like he looks bad. He still got that smile, right, Yeah,
he still had a smile. I think he actively like
he thinks it's fun to look ugly, is my sets like, well,

(06:54):
like he's been he's been attractive that it's like a
fun change for him. I saw him a boxing watch,
like where they you know, like before the fight that
like show celebrities in the audience, and he had like
a mustache and like a hat on and just like
I think it was like a sweatsuit, like just sweat

(07:14):
and he was like at this big event, and I
think it was just like he looked like ship like
for a normal person. But he looked great because it's
Denzel Washington. That's when I first theory that, oh yeah, yeah,
that still looks amazing, still looks like designer. I think

(07:35):
it looks fine. It's when my high school we used
to play his son in high school basketball, and when
he would come to our gym, he would I mean,
I guess it was dressing down for Denzel, which just
basically meant a Yankee hat, like a sweatsuit. But even then,
I mean there were times when I was like, it
looks extra baggy. Maybe the stylist didn't pick that out,
but at the end of the day, everybody was like,

(07:56):
just Ze, is this the Who's an actor? John h Yeah,
he went to Harvard Westlake. Oh yeah, what is something
you think is underrated? Underrated? I mean maybe some people disagree,
but I think thrift shopping is underrated. It feels like
in some cities it's overrated because like in Brooklyn or

(08:19):
Los Angeles, is very hard to do good stuff. Yeah,
but I think everyone should be recycling clothes because clothing
is one of the biggest things we have in landfills.
Like it's like the one of the biggest trash producing
things we have. And also most of my stuff is

(08:41):
thrift and it's like, I get every process. Part of
the process is fulfilling to me, like the finding the thing,
the wearing the thing, and then people being like, oh
my god, where's that thing from right, And I'm like
you can't exactly. I got it from the floor and
you can't get it, like there's no way to get
this item because I found the one that was in
that store in town that we don't live in. Your

(09:01):
sweater looks extra comfortable, it's very it's basically a blanket.
It's really They don't make clothes like that like anymore,
so much different. Yeah, it's way better in the past.
Now everything's like like flimsy and falls apart really easily,
and they had to buy more ship because that's how
they want you to be addicted to clothing. My partner,

(09:22):
her majesty, she is very into vintage clothing. She found
some Etsy store like in Lithuania and is getting like
like styles from the communist times, like vintage pieces that
are like really cheap. And she's like, I've already seen
everything like America. Now I'm gonna go to your It's
like drift through Etsy, uh, and I was surprised at

(09:45):
like someone like that stuff. It's it's always interesting to see,
like because you'll see fashion trends that are here in
like the U S and then how that sort of
gets translated to other countries and then there takes on
it well, like in Eastern Black nations too, it was
like they could have like had their own They were
cut off from Western culture, so they could have had
their own like branch of you know, design that was
going on that like uh evolved independently of ours. So

(10:09):
I feel like a big, big chunky sweater like you have,
those should be about vintage because the last sweater I
bought new that was trying to feel like a big
chunky blanket sweater. It's like, yes, it's just replicating what's
already in existence somewhere, right, and it only looks the
part like you're saying, the quality part very different. That's
why a lot of people like vintage furniture too, because

(10:30):
we're in this like ikea age and just go to
wherever where it's like, you know, there's no craftsman shop. Yeah,
it's like being an archivist. It's like a skill you
have to have that's I admire. That. Is there anything
you won't buy used aside from undergarments? Yeah, not undergarments. Um,

(10:51):
I thought shoes, but these are vantage too, so I
got rid of that idea. Um hmm, maybe not maybe,
I don't know. Your shoes are fully made of wood.
George Washington, George washing his teeth. They're repurposed dentures. Yeah,

(11:15):
you don't want to repurpose those. They just started found
that those get a little sounds like Biden a little bit. Yea. Yeah.
What does something you think is overrated? Ice? Ice? Customs enforcement?
No no, no, no, like frozen water. Um yeah, people

(11:39):
put it in everything and just assume that everyone wants ice.
And I never want ice because I have sensitive teeth
and it's like not good for your digestion, like room
temperature water is better for like your body and uh
and then sometimes I go places and they'll put like
ice and orange juice or like weird ship and wow

(12:00):
like for breakfast. Yeah, d like in the South, They're
just like not everywhere, but it has happened where they.
I'm like, I asked for orange juice and they put
it down, and I was like, why is there ice
in here? That's nothing I wanted and ask for that.
It's already cold, average are already cold? Giving me ice? Yeah,
especially well, I always look out for ice when they
try and cheat me. And I talked about this a lot. Yeah,

(12:23):
I need that full mile brings his own ice with him.
So what I do is I'll be like, give me
my you know, twenty cup of my lemonade, give me
a couple of ice, because so much well I get
you know, I'm trying to give my money for because
you go to lemonade that's just like fucking seven bucks
couple of lemonade. And I'm like, don't work around. I

(12:44):
already look a little you know, stupid trying to buy
like really getting angry by my lavender lemonade and used whatever.
But at the same when I see them fill the
whole thing up, I'm like, you could have put three
drops in there and it looks full And I'm not
here for that. I my money's worth. Do you like
is there ice that you like? Because you know, people
they talk about good ice, you know what they say,
like Christian Yeah, things like that because you're sensitive teeth. Yeah,

(13:07):
no ice question, No ice ice cream? No? Really, I know.
And it's like a really contentious like a lot of
people cream yea a sweet chowder cher for me? Yeah
that's underrated. I mean, where's the hot cream? Nobody nobody

(13:27):
else that I think that'd be like oatmeal or yeah,
I guess it would be with a lot of cream made. Yeah.
What about so for desserts then like a like a
cake or room temperature cake. Yeah, yeah, those room tip desserts.
But no no ice cream for me. Okay, wow, it's
just too cold. Yeah. What's a what's a myth? What's

(13:48):
something people think it's true you know to be false? Okay,
I don't think a lot of people know this. But um,
when like female hysteria was a thing, the there's a
thought process that male doctors would cure hysteria by massaging
the clip. That's like the invention of vibrators. But that
is actually a myth. Oh. They they like the idea

(14:12):
was that vibrators were invented to calm women down, right,
But doctors were just like they didn't didn't think I'm
giving her an orgasm. They're like, I'm just cure. I'm
just calling her down because she's correct. Um. But actually,
but that was like it written up in like one journal,
and no one was like that must be it, and

(14:33):
no one refuted it, no one did other research, and
then finally people were like, actually, there's no evidence of
that at all. There's no doctors who reported this at all,
Like it's just not true that wait about the invention
of the vibrator or though that that was the reason
the vibrator was invented and that and that's that's how
medical professionals were curing quote unquote because the vibrator was invented.

(14:56):
It was invented to cure weak dick. That's right, that
we trash dick, I believe because suffering from weak dick
a vibrator. Yeah, she shall never know. Yeah, that's man coming.

(15:20):
I think this one's going crazy. I feel like most
of what we know about history is is what you
just described, where it's like one place wrote that because
they were like probably, and then like the whole I
beni'n berliner thing JFK. It's like from a spy novel.

(15:40):
And then like the novel came out in the eighties
and then like everybody just started quoting it as a
said the wrong thing or it wasn't that the thing
about how he said he was a pastriot that everybody
thought he was saying I'm a doughnut, right right right,
It's just like it's true nobody thought that ship. I mean,
that's the beauty of the pre internet age. It's like
you could have just change, like the course of history

(16:02):
could have been changed from a few misunderstandings or someone
just being overly confident about something like Okay, well they
said it's true, no way to fact check, or like yeah,
I honestly have no other way to it sounds true,
yea Napoleon being short. It's all just rumors people started
because it seemed like a thing a smart person or
like you and your sweating, Yeah yeah, people thinking I

(16:25):
don't know what to do with my hands photos just
like alright, let's talk about pop tarts, you guys, talk
about a room temperature dessert. That is occasionally served. First
of all, when you pop charts, did you toast them
or did you eat them straight out of the sleep?

(16:46):
I would eat them straight out of the sleep, just
because I generally when I was eating pop tart was
on the go. Yeah, throwing some pop tarts and then
you up on your skateboard and somehow the interior of
your house was all like fluorescent. Um, yeah, they go.

(17:09):
I think I did both. You know what it was
when I would when I all would take as a
burnt part of the pop tart, and I would get
so mad at myself for not watching it because my
toatia was too strong. I guess it as a kid. Um.
But I digress. The reason we're talking about this is
there is a new pop tart in town, pop Tart Pretzel. Yeah,
it's a pretzel basically crust outside, it's a pretzel. It's

(17:31):
a pop tarts. Do we need to say anything else?
I mean, I love pretzels with sweet ship. Yes, I'm
a huge salty and sweet person. There's cinnamon sugar and chocolate.
Do you have a preference between the two. I cinnamon
sugar was one of my favorite pop tarts growing up.
The frosted cinnamon sugar. Yeah, oh, because that one just

(17:53):
had like the brown smattering of glaze on top. Right.
I like the strawberry one, yes, strawberry frosted straw and
that or my two favorites. Wow, you're like calling out
the fucking name from the box. Frosted strawberry. Yeah, that's
something that had the white frosting and then the little
color yeah, like colored sprinkles. Yeah, that was a good

(18:14):
ship man pop Tart his story and I was over
here just being like, we need to talk about something
food and then like frosted. I see that you've brought
pop tarts to today's episode. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's
a big difference frosted between like between frosts strawberry and
non process strawberry. Well not frost. Don't give me the
non frost that that's on punishment. Yeah, that's violence or

(18:35):
it's just like playing on the top, yeah, without frosting.
Which what do you like between the chocolate? I like
the there's already snacks that are like chocolate covered pretzel
and I like that. Yeah, and it's soft too. I'm
sure I'm just waiting for that commercial. Inevitably, like all
food Instagram pages where they slowly just inside yeah, gooey stuff.

(18:57):
If I was to do it underrated or overrated, just
a just so I can say something really quick. That's
the thing on Instagram food pages. Instagram it's the opening
of a burger or a sandwich or a burrito or
anything goody or just the pictures. Fine, I get ramen noodles.

(19:18):
Did you ever eat them raw? Yeah? Yeah, like crushing
monk crushing map. Yeah. Maybe it's a California thing. No, no, no,
I don't know. Maybe like I learned that when I
was here, or you have no hot water thing yeah whatever, Yeah,
I just crush it up for the flavoring and they're shaking.
And then also in Japan, there's a snack that is
basically like dried ramen noodles that are like already season

(19:40):
You just like bite it like it's a it's not
like a brick. It almost comes broken up, like the
tendrils of like curly ramen noodles that are just seasoned. Uh.
And it had like a really like a I forget,
like an animated kid in a monk outfit or something. No,
it was a like a Chinese outfit. I remember I'm
trying to think. I'm trying to visualize the package for
people if they're out of Japanese Mark, I want to
try it out. Yeah, but yeah, I have had that.

(20:03):
But also you know, I like I like to just
to put the water on it tail for sure. Have
you got three minutes? Yeah, you want to turn up
a cup of noodles or rama noodles hack hack. That's
how my mom used to do it. She's like, I
can't need to like this. Do you like it? You
ever fun with an al dente? Like do it a little? No? No,

(20:24):
that sounds a little off to me. Aldente, Like how
al dente we're talking about like super outdente but just
like a little bit like so is it? So it's
not like super. I don't think I've ever paid that
much attention though, to be like, yeah, before my out,
I need my scent package. I kind of like it

(20:47):
that way. Okay, good, we'll have a we have a
buffet with no ice and alde rama. Alright, we're gonna
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.

(21:08):
And the impeachment inquiry was back today. There were more people.
It didn't end with Gordon son Land Uh, the impeachment
inquiry is back, thank you, thank you, Dan. Yeah, it was.
I guess he was supposed to be sort of the climactic.

(21:29):
I mean, he was at the nexus of so many
people's testimony, so it made sense, let's drag this person
up and clarify things he did. Although Trump tried to
claim it as a great day for the Republicans somehow,
I don't know, because they're living in a parallel universe. Um.
And yeah, I Fiona Hill came to make it even hotter,

(21:49):
to turn up the heat even more. I mean we'll
talk a little bit more after this clip, but um,
she came out basically warning everybody that some of the
bill uh in this committee are peddling Russian propaganda or
takes that are being put forward by the Russians, and
that's exactly what they want. And you know, when you
have an English accent, Yeah, Americans are stupid. I'm sure

(22:13):
everybody was like, very authoritative. I don't know what it was. Yeah,
she just seemed to know what she was talking. Um.
So yeah, this was her kind of part of her
opening statement, which was a very very good point to
raise because so many Republicans in this committee have been like, well,
you know, like Ukraine has been, you know, meddling in
the elections, and like they could be an enemy. It's like, no,

(22:33):
they're inn ally, we're trying to help them. Uh. And
this was part of her opening statement and the cost
of this investigation. I would ask that you please not
promote politically deriven falsehoods so clearly advanced Russian interests. As
Republicans and Democrats have agreed for decades, Ukraine is a
valued partner of the United States, and it plays an
important role in our national security. And as I told
the committee last month, I refused to be part of

(22:55):
an effort to legitimize an alternate narrative that the Ukrainian
government is a US versary and the Ukraine not Russia
attackers in twenty sixteen. These fictions are harmful even if
they're deployed for purely domestic political purposes. President Putin and
the Russian security services operate like a superpack. They deploy
millions of dollars to weaponize our own political opposition, research

(23:18):
and false narratives. When we are consumed by partisan rancor,
we cannot combat combat these external forces there as they
seek to divide us against each other, degrade our institutions,
and destroy the faith of the American people in our democracy.
M hm m hm. Yeah, that was That was the beginning,

(23:39):
and then went on to be a very very just,
you know, credible witness. Again. I just I'm starting to
get tired of the impeachment hearings. I'm gonna be honest,
because it's so clear, like what has happened. And I
understand the Democrats are really trying to make it as
painfully obvious as possible, but I have I'm like, we're

(24:00):
in that painfully obvious part. I don't know how many
people were gonna sway anymore at this point, because you're
either if you were an independent and you saw the
course of these public hearings, you'd be like, Okay, I'm
still a reasonable person, you think so, or if you're
on the right, you're just gonna be like, bullshit, this
is bullshit, this bull no, this is real. Um. And

(24:21):
again then Dave Holmes, who was the person working under
Bill Taylor who heard that call where the President was
asking Gordon Sonlon to do these investigations, he confirmed that yes,
indeed the loud ass call happened, But I think one
thing that we're seeing, which is completely undeniable at this point,
is that based on all this testimony, there was there

(24:42):
was a week in between when President Trump decided to
freeze hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Ukraine
and a phone call where he demanded to know from
Sonlon whether they were going to investigate Joe Biden. Like
the intent and everything, it's really all there. But I
guess to this day the Republicans are what's always evolving.

(25:02):
But the Republican defenses, now, well, you don't have a
witness that can say Trump literally told somebody to do
a quid pro quo scheme despite all of this, other
all these other fact witnesses and people who are around
it saying this smells like a terrible corrupt scheme and
the intent was there for a corrupt scheme. So I
don't know what else. Yeah, he kept he kept telling

(25:23):
people go talk to Rudy and Michael Cohen and his
testimony about like you know what he knew about how
Trump operated? Uh, last year, I guess he was saying
that he always will have somebody who does the dirt
for him, and he'll never say it himself he'll just
be like, go talk to that person. So it's we

(25:44):
know this is how he operates. We're not going to
get a smoking gun where he's like, do do the
I mean, unless Juliani is in trouble and he shows
himself to be ratman, and that's the only way it's
gonna Yeah. But at this point, I mean, either I
don't even know if if even if Rudy said it,
his supporters be like, well, Rudy was a rogue agent,
and I don't even believe what he says because in

(26:05):
a way, Rudy isn't even very credible himself, just because
the way he just constantly twists and turns. Um. But
I don't know. I mean, I guess at this point
that Nancy Pelosi said that they're they're still considering bringing
more witnesses up. Um. Fine, but you know, through Fiona
Hills testimony, I mean she even said that, you know,

(26:27):
John Bolton was directly pleading with the President to release
the AID, so you know he might have something to say,
But it seems like they're not gonna wait. They don't
and they're not really interested in waiting. It's just like
a blur at this point, it's like we've known the
truth for so long. I also feel like it's underrated
that we have the transcript of the call where he
asks the Ukrainian president. But I don't know if it's underrated.

(26:51):
It's just all fact. So it's like we're trying to
argue that we breathe oxygen and like, I don't know,
I've I actually, you know, breathe to oxygen molecules that
are binded together. Wait, I guess that's oxygen. I mean,
I don't know. It just feels painful at this point
because there's nothing, the nothing, None of the questions that

(27:14):
are being asked by Republicans are showing anything other than
this corrupt scheme happened. They were trying to extort the Ukrainians,
bribe them, could pro quote them, whatever, whatever terminology you
want to use, which is settled at this point. Why
was I saw that jay Leno was trending because he

(27:36):
was mentioned, He was mentioned the amount of people asap
Rocky kim Dashian. These are people who will be part
of the historical transcripts of these here. Yeah, I don't
know what what the jay Leno want. The asap Rocky
thing was because at the time with him in Sweden. Yeah, overlapped, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they were saying, like I remember they said something

(27:56):
about asap Rocky. I don't remember what it was. Maybe
that pays it was a great song, but you know,
whatever that thing is. And he was named after rock him.
Not many people know that, but yeah, it's this, it's
spanning all kinds of uh, our our consciousness as Americans.
But I don't know. I don't know if that's affecting
polling or whatever, and if that's going to change anything.

(28:18):
I don't think it is, Like I don't know five
thirty eight has there. You know, people who support support
impeachment versus opposed it, and it just keeps going in
the direction like more people support impeachment than oppose it.
And that's been the case since the transcript came out.
But it's been getting closer and closer together, and to

(28:38):
the point that as we record this, it's like point one,
it's like one tenth of a percent apart. So it's
basically between what between supporting impeachment and approving impeachment or
supporting impeachment and opposing impeachment. Oh so the wait, but
it was the disparity was a lot wider than Yeah,
for supports, You're saying support for impeachment is going down.

(29:01):
Support is going down. Like, so as more evidence comes
out that he clearly did the ship, support among Americans,
like according to these polls seems to be going in
the direction of, yeah, let's let's leave, let's let him off.
I don't know, or I think it's just fatigue, Like
I'm fucking fatigue. I'm tired of it actually because I like, yeah, great,

(29:23):
they fucking do something. Them get to the part where
the Republicans completely debase themselves and completely throw their oath
into the trash and act like this ship just isn't
right in front of them, like because I already know
that's what's gonna happen. I don't. I don't think again,
even with this straight up truth in front of them,
they're still being like, well, you don't have somebody saying, literally,

(29:43):
quid pro quota, do the quid pro quo, and yet
they still just you know, they're they're also using that
thing where because Trump said yes, or the day before
when he read his big sharpie memo pad where he
said I want nothing, I want nothing, no quid pro
quote told Linski doing They're saying, well, that's what he said.
But despite everyone around it saying no, that's not what happened.

(30:06):
I'm the person who, like mechanically is part of that
operation saying that is not what happened. They still that's why.
I guess. Yeah. I think my frustration is like, just
get on with it, bro, like I'm I'm actually I
get it, Like you don't have to convince me anymore.
I mean, it was nice to see all these other
witnesses come out that fully just make it air tight.
But I don't know what else can be done at

(30:27):
this point. Yeah, unless unless July on he's coming through
with like this is what he said to me. Yeah,
I don't know who knows. That might be on his
podcast that's right, so, which we will be producing with Rudy.
So that yeah, coming next week. Joan. iHeart Trump's approval
is even going in the right direction. I don't fucking

(30:50):
understand it. I don't get it. I mean, he's still
twelve points underwater. He's of people approve of him verse
fifty three percent disapprove, but is a lot of people
that's too too many? Well, I think, But either way
it's just because it's I think it's about fatigue, right,
you hear the same ship over and over like okay,

(31:12):
Like so it's almost what it. I'm like that I'm
on the left and I'm like, so, what are you
gonna do? Yeah, and then just let's get let's get
to the next phase. I'm we're I think we're I
don't know, just in terms of what we've seen. I
think it's starting to become very circuitous to a point
and not redundant because there's new information coming out. But

(31:33):
it's almost like, yeah, we're like belaboring this for too much.
But I almost think there's that Fox News firewall man
that like Fox News is not letting any of this
ship register every single fact that comes through. They just
it's basically it's an agreement between the Republicans and Fox
News that the Republicans will put out like a Russian

(31:56):
conspiracy theory for Fox News to then parrot so that
like we hear the person say it, we see the
witness be taken aback, and it's just like that's all
Fox News will show. And yeah, but I don't know,
like what I'm saying, it doesn't like our demand, like
this type of like a combative democracy doesn't work with

(32:17):
Fox News in the equation, like it just can't work. Well,
I just feel like at this point the tactics, if
if the numbers are starting to shift despite all of
this evidence, it just means you're trying to fight an
enemy with tactics that are just are ineffective. And I
don't know. That's why I'm like, I'm more curiously about
this next phases because I think we've reached peak. See

(32:38):
he did do that, So now let's see the Republicans
really try and act like well, this is all blah
blah blah. And they will, but I think that will
be important for people going to these elections and make
that a point of like I don't know, somehow this
person looks at all this stuff and still couldn't come
to this conclusion. I mean, Justin Amash, who is a
former Republican in Michigan, he's just like I don't even

(33:00):
saying what's wrong with him at this point, Like I
used to be Republican, but like, I don't know what
the funk this is now. Yeah, on the front page
of Fox News, though they're talking about a Democrat who
defected and it was like, I don't know what's wrong
with the Democrats. I have to become a Republican. Uh So,
it's just who is that. It's like some local like
state senator, okay, not like a full senator, like a yeah,

(33:24):
state government senator, state legislature. Yeah. Well, I mean maybe
he has a tough reelection campaign. He's like, fuck it, man,
just give me the red hat room. Yeah, I mean,
stay in Offense's essentially what it is. It'll help my
tire business, all right. There was also a Democratic debate
last night. Apparently watched it the day before. There was
the lowest rated of the debates. Debate too many motherfucker's

(33:49):
up there that I'm not going to vote for. Yeah,
I'm like, okay, fine. I mean like, look, a lot
of people had great, had some nice moments, like every
almost every person did, except for Tulsi Gabbard Um who
she didn't you know she didn't she go after Pete
Buddha Judge for like saying like just took something out
of context and was like, yo, you said to invade Mexico. Yeah.

(34:11):
He was like no, it was it was so confusing.
She really looks like a wind up doll who was
just like like a speak and say for like Russian
talking points or yeah. I mean, I don't know if
she's a plant or whatever, but like it seems like
her goal is to basically like, you know, the Democratic
Party so fucked up. Honestly, if you're like an independent,
I'm going to be a Democrat saying this party so

(34:32):
fucked up, and that might dissuade you from even looking
at this party because I'm just keep saying how fucked
up this thing is and then pivot too, but I'm
gonna make it better. But part of her whole thing
is being like, this party isn't doing shift for anybody,
this party like and that has an effect obviously to
someone who might be on the fence. But you know
that in her caping for Assad and things like that
obviously are very bizarre takes to have as a Democratic

(34:56):
presidential candidate. Um. But as she kept tearing down the party,
I just like how MSNBC was like setting it up there,
like Senator Harris, Um, would you like to just flame
this person? You could tell they were like they knew
the sequence. You're like, okay, let's get told you to
say something hot and then they'll be like, kamala um,

(35:16):
you want to jump in, And she was almost like, oh, yes.
This was her response to Gabbard's lord of monologue about
how the Democratic Party's trashed and I'm gonna make it better.
I think that it's unfortunate that we have someone on
the stage who is attempting to be the Democratic nominee
for President of the United States, who, during the Obama
administration spent four years full time on Fox News criticizing

(35:40):
President Obama full times. That's what I spent full time
criticizing people on this stage as affiliated with the Democratic Party.
When Donald Trump was elected, not even sworn in, buddied
up to Steve Bannon to get a meeting with Donald
Trump in the Trump Tower, fails to call a war

(36:03):
criminal by what he is as a war criminal, and
then spends full time during the course of this campaign
again criticizing the Democratic Party. Yeah, and her she couldn't.
She was like, well, her response like uh and uh,
Congressman Gabbard, would you like to respond, And it's sort
of like, that's that's not all, that's well, that's that's

(36:26):
that's not right. Did she say something about Russian talking points?
Harris Um, I don't know if she did. Maybe towards
the end of it possibly, I don't know if she
quite went that far, because you know, no one wants
to putin having his hands so far a puppet, a puppeteer. Um.
And then Biden had another sorry you know he shipped

(36:48):
the bed off top. First question, Um, you know, President Biden, Uh,
you know, what would you do? You know, you said
that when you're in office, the Republicans will will work
with you because you know how to get bipartisan ship done,
and you know the spirit of bipartisanship will re emerge
with you in office. How will you get that done?

(37:08):
And he just like struggled through like a weird rant
about like majorities, basically saying like we need majorities in
the Senate, in the House. It's like, then that's not bipartisanship, right,
So he that's and it was very like he's struggling
up there, He's really struggling. And then Corey Booker was
like I heard him say he didn't want to legalize
weed because it could be a gateway drug. I think

(37:29):
maybe he was high when he said that, And everyone
in the audience was like, ship, it was like a
rap battle ko it was, and Biden literally he couldn't.
He was just like, I didn't he had nothing for
that um. And even then there was another moment where

(37:50):
he basically said, uh, he said, my, he's like I
come out of the black community in terms of support
or something. He was a very odd yeah, a statement
to make. He's just out there, yeah, the community in
terms of support. No, I'm serious, folks, I'm serious because
people like, what do you mean You don't come out

(38:10):
of the black community, right, You go into them and
like try and get them to do their vote. But
it's not like you have community more support than you
would think among like well, of course diverse because your
name recognition is so high. And I'm sure if one
person saw a debate, actually saw this man speak, you
would be like, I don't know if this guy is

(38:32):
coming with any kind of good ideas or even like
that is shipped together. Beyond that though, he also said
he was supported by the only black woman elected to
the Senate, and Kamala Harris is like that's not true,
and he's like, huh, what do you like gesturing Kamala
Harris like what about her? Like the first you said

(38:55):
the only that's why we got here just now. Um. So,
then he was asked another question about how he would
support the Me Too movement as president, and he sort
of started off about, like, you know, we need a
cultural change, and then he said that, you know, no
man has a right to raise a hand to a
woman in anger other than his hand on or a

(39:16):
child around their neck or something. But he said, no
right to raise a hand to a woman in anger
other than a self defense. And then he says, we
just have to change the culture, period and just keep
punching at it and punching at it and punching at it.
And so the crowd starts laughing because they're like like that, yeah,
that must be a joke, right, yeah, he is like, no,
I'm serious, folks punching of women. But he's like so

(39:44):
oblivious that like people start laughing and he doesn't even
get what they're laughing at. He thinks they're laughing. At
the end of that he wants to combat maybe is
he usually around people who are like, oh, come on, Joe,
that's not an issue about versus like thin about it.
Say punching rabbit over and over. He said it like

(40:07):
three times in a row on the question. It's you know,
but he really means it. I really need it. I
really mean it. No, think about it. That's what those
are is too, Like you think about what that you
just put your whole foot in your mouth. Yeah, at
least he's that flexible. So it makes sense that Bloomberg

(40:28):
would formally enter the race the next day. Yeah, he's like,
that's that's the dude. But I don't know. See the
thing is, do you think Biden's I'm curious see what
the polls look like next week? Yeah, if that changes,
because like he hasn't had a good debate ever. No,
so I if his brand is that fucking strong, Wow,

(40:51):
I don't know what. I don't know. I mean we
might be for having a fucking vote for Joe Biden. Yeah, boy, no,
please got no? Did they're pulling? Pre debate? Post debate?
And Biden and Gabbard were the only two who were
like significantly under expectations or like people's opinion of them

(41:12):
changed in the negative direction after this. Yeah, over the
course of the debates, our book or Buddha Judge all
had positive Yeah, they had moments and you had a
couple of everybody was said some good things, but again
I think at this point I'm seeing too many people talk.
I think, just get you know, get the top four

(41:32):
five ended there. I understand they're trying to, but at
this point, like I think we need to just get
the people who are seriously could be are in contention
to have it out in front of us on the
mess ues debate stage over. But I think it is
important because I think I think voters, when you're looking
at such a it's like going trying to order a
fucking cheesecake factory. It's like a fucking ninety page menu, right, Like,

(41:53):
I don't know, likely like what's good here? Yeah? And
then if we end up at that point where voters like, well,
what's good rather than like being able to look for
themselves and identify their own values within a candidate, uh well,
there was some bullshit well showing that he is always
a master of knowing what everybody is feeling. Michael Bloomberg

(42:14):
is like, you know what they want another who's a billionaire?
Because they keep talking about billionaires so attacking them and
ship so they probably want a billionaire and the race.
You look at his polling, bro, He's not what the
fun is he gonna do. Yeah, he's a like three
unless he commandeer's Biden's body and then it's like, oh,

(42:36):
I got it. Put my brain in there. Yes, and
I'll make I'll make sure everything runs fine, but I'll
use the Biden suit to get there. Like it's not
going to change his I mean his, Who the funk
is gonna be that interested in him? Unless you were
work on Wall Street. The optics for Duval Patrick are
not good. I haven't seen polling. But he went to
more House College. Yeah it was bad. He went to

(42:57):
an HBCU for a for a campaign event. And this
is what the room looked like. Yeah, there was nobody.
So a small room, like a small room for a
president podcast like like it's a small room. We sold
that big rooms but like and it is completely empty.

(43:22):
It's a it's a Bengal Hall sized room. Like not
even well, the the journalists who even took the photos
did they said an all fairness note to people came
just not pictured, but two people came and I think
would you like to learn more and specifically said that

(43:45):
they were there because they were curious to see if
anybody would show what's good here. Yeah, I mean look,
nobody's interested in billionaires or people who are like working
for that class of people. It's just they And and
that was an interesting thing that uh Senator Harris was saying,
is that the election is about justice. Is whether it's economic, racial,

(44:08):
uh like women's rights, l g B, t Q rights,
that this is, this is really what the focus of
the election needs to be, not just obviously about defeating
President Trump, but every really identifying what the ills are
of this country, like in terms of how our regulations
are and how the economic system works, and beginning to
create some semblance of equality or justice with this next president.

(44:30):
And I think, you know, I really think that theme
is important. And that's why people like this who sort
of do lukewarm winks at the billionaire class and ship
just don't get me interested because I'm like, that's the
fucking problem. I don't want that anymore. But I think
it's about getting a plurality of voters to actually understand
that that's obviously beat Trump, but there is a way
to beat Trump at the same time, mobilized people around

(44:52):
this idea of you know, equality. Yeah, although I don't
think I don't think a lot of anti Trump information
is going to get circulated on Facebook based on this
next story. Yeah we have, uh so Mark Zuckerberg. There
there's a story a couple weeks ago or like last
month in October where uh Mark Zuckerberg spoke at Georgetown

(45:16):
University and talked about how he was committed to free speech,
and he was that's what he wasn't about. He doesn't
think that Facebook should be uh censoring people's free speech.
He thinks the government should or some sh it like that,
which I So. New information has come to light that

(45:36):
the following week, Mark Zuckerberg had dinner with Donald Trump
at the White House and with Peter Tiele, the guy
who killed Gawker. Yeah. Uh allegedly takes young people's blood transfusions, right, yeah, yes,
he is some supervillain shit, Yeah that is all did allegedly.

(46:03):
He's yeah, no, I think that's yeah, that's what people say,
and he's like, don't don't let this. Okay, look, I'll
say allegedly, but I believe it. He has human blood bags,
right right, which is a nice way of just saying
young men, yes, yeah, yeah, bring me a blood bag,

(46:24):
which one zach. But yeah, again, it's it's just a
really fucking terrible, terrible thing to think about when you know,
especially with Facebook and the scrutiny there under and everyone
looking at these tech companies like y'all have a basic
virtual monopoly over at this industry. But you want to
go and getting good with the president. It's look, just

(46:47):
can we just just break this ship up already? Yeah,
And I hope that's another thing, you know, the next
president takes very seriously. And I'd like to see more
candidates talk about two. And there's also one thing about
the debate. First time they actually talked about housing really Yeah,
and it was a shame Julian Castro wasn't up there
because as a secretary of HUD he would have had
some good things to say, but he didn't qualify um

(47:08):
and you got some you know, if Styre was just
like being like, oh, I think the real estate mark,
it's just like m that was interested in his answers.
But you know, at least the discourse is changing a
bit in the debates. Yeah. I just wish some of
the right people up there, just to make sure we
always have the same mix of news. For a requisite
story about Trump's cognitive decline. Uh, there is a white

(47:29):
House insider who says Trump regularly can't remember what he
said or been told, so just yeah, we always like
to have one reminder that he he's losing his mind. Yeah,
should should not be the president, and his racism dis
worldized him largest nuclear arsenal. Well, I mean, I guess
if you look at past presidents, they just they didn't

(47:51):
say the racist parts out loud, right, Yeah, yeah, all right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. And conservatives are unhappy about a news

(48:13):
story that we talked about last week. Chick fil A
decided to cave to the left and stop giving the
hate groups, stop giving to people who oppose l g
B t Q. Right, yeah, like your favorite group, Fellowship
of christian Um and also glad Like in a statement

(48:33):
did point out that they still have deep ties to
groups like Focus on the Family, so they're you know,
they're like, mmm, I would like to see them do
a bit more, which is very fair. But the outrage
on the right, they really I don't know why they
have to make every moment of progress an attack on them,
but I guess that's how that's the only way you

(48:54):
can make the culture wars still popping guns problem Matt Walsh,
he puts he tweeted, incredibly stupid. Moved by Chick fil A.
They've only grown in popularity in spite of and maybe
because of the backlash. They won't appease the critics by caving,
but they might alienate some of their customers. No upside
for them all downside tell me because I love his

(49:17):
work on Veep and part of one of the original Wow.
But yeah, he it's again. It goes on. You have
people like Mike Huckabee. In August twelve, I coordinated a
National Chick fil A Appreciation Day after they were being
bullied by militant hate group. I didn't even read this

(49:38):
militant hate groups like glad Okay, millions showed up today
Chick fil A betrayed loyal customers for dollar signs. He
claimed he held a rally in support of Chick fil
A and millions showed up. I think maybe he said,
why don't talk about the million man march like what? No,
I think he noticed. I think he said, go to

(49:59):
Chick fil A this to support them going anyway. Yeah,
that's like me saying, hey, everybody, go support Starbucks today.
The amount of people astronomical, astronomical, and I will now
pat myself on the back. It says today Chick fil
A betrayed local customers for money. I regret believing they

(50:19):
would stay true to two convictions of founder true at
Cathy sad, but they didn't. They renig that statement. They
said that they were in donations to anti LGBT organizations,
but then like yesterday or the day before, they were like, actually, sorry, yeah,

(50:41):
they're like, actually, psych we are going to keep doing
what we've been doing. Also, even their language when they
said that was like, we may back organizations that could
possibly support l g B t Q rights if it
makes sense for us, and I never really said anything.

(51:02):
They're really trying to wiggle rooms both sides it. Oh,
I didn't see that they had doubled back, or do
you think maybe they just cleaned up their language essentially
to make it more ambiguous. It seems like their PR
person was like, we gotta we gotta make sure everyone
knows we're not hateful. Everyone's welcome here, And then whoever
owns Chick fil A was like, I didn't say that.

(51:23):
Wait a second. Also, you know, just great thinker Jack
poss Obak said, the left winds again. Chick fil A
cave to the mob and sacrificed everything they stood for.
And they did it at Christmas time, motherfucker. It's not
even Thanksgiving yet, right, Yeah, it's it is. I wonder

(51:45):
if you know it's the power of Popeyes. You know,
that's the other that's the other instinct take. People say
it's like, well, maybe because Popeyes came through and said
just like winked at their customers, like you can come
over here. Yeah, I mean that was certainly maybe the
attraction For me. I was like, I don't feel bad
even and ship is so good. I know, it's so good.
Popeye chicken sandwich is so much better than anything. The sandwiches.

(52:08):
Look they're different things any but they are. Yeah. The
sandwich is the spicy chicken sandwich. The Popeye's one is
I think superior to the Chick fil A one, But
Chick fil A sandwich is also good. Also, people are
getting frecking murdered over these Popeye sandwich. I don't support murder,
but I understand it's a good sandwich. It's a good sandwich, man,
I don't understand, but I think yeah, And also you know.

(52:31):
Ben Shapiro was also really shaken up about this. He says,
Chick fil A has survived and thrived because they served
everyone everyone and refused to cater to the council culture.
Now they've caved at the behest of the censorious left.
This is a terrible move and just the latest indicator
that the center cannot hold mm hmmmmmmmmmm, Well they don't.

(52:52):
They don't have a lot, you know. Yeah, I don't
know what they have. I guess that probably made them
mad because that was like the one thing, like the
one brand that was like, yeah, we're we're pretty conservative
and like you're still going to come for this chicken.
But now now they don't even know because like every
other brand is like has almost been like, yeah, we're
not on the side of like racism. Yeah, we apologize,

(53:15):
we didn't realize we're backing this organization or whatever. Will
change that whatever you want, please keep buying our stuff.
I guess it's a failure to recognize. It's funny because
they don't even see that that's how capitalism works too,
Like if they want to keep selling ship, they have
to appeal to as many people as possible. So like
you've see we see this, But I don't know why
they think some companies have values ever, when their only

(53:36):
value is literally the value of their company. A little
preaching little ran into some inadvertent poetry there that I
guess they still have that Second Amendment movie where which movie?
The movie where they come for people's guns? Actor Kevin
Sorbo And it's oh, one of those stupid ass reliant

(53:59):
did come on theaters? No, Kevin Sorbo. I don't think
he's a lot. I think it's he would be arrested
if a film of his was on an actual theater screen.
They also like he lasts like ten minutes in that
movie spoiler sexy. No, no, he he dies ten minutes.
Auto misunderstanding. You did think of him as hercules. Al Right, guys,

(54:22):
let's talk about that viral anti meth campaign meth I'm
on it. Yeah, we're on it. So people were wondering,
is is this gonna work? Yeah, this can't be real,
And it turns out it's real and it's a larger campaign.
Like those print heads that we saw were only the beginning. Right,

(54:47):
there is a TV ad that we have a clip from.
I'm on meth. Is not someone else's problem. It's everyone
in South Dakota's problem, and we need everyone to get
on it. I'm on it, so to seeing a kid
be like I'm on it too, Yeah, like I need

(55:09):
a backstory, CPS. So yeah, they don't even explain it really,
like because that's not a thing that people say, Like
I'm like, if somebody saying that that problem for me,
you'd say, yeah, I'm on it. You don't say I'm
on that problem for you taxes. I'm on it, like
in a yeah, I'm on taxes. Well, but that's that

(55:32):
doesn't that's not even a sentence. Anyone says they're on
method does not sound that calm, right, So it turns
out they're in on the joke. Dude, that was the
whole point, man, I get it. Yeah, South Dakota, Like
the South Dakota governor was like, uh, yeah, that was
the whole point. You guys. Obviously we knew that it

(55:54):
was gonna get passed around and we wanted it to
go viral. So I think it's work. It's like okay,
but our question remains, like how does this help you
in any way? Like it's a it's like a viral
moment because people are talking about what they're laughing at you,
but what is But does how do they have any
indicator of what that means substantively to the meth problem

(56:16):
in the state. No, I mean it's so until I
got you all talking about outside of the state, Matthews
among I think it's teenagers in South Dakota is twice
that of the national average. So there there is a problem, right,
and now we're talking about it. So but damn it,
they were right. They say, like, here are steps on

(56:37):
how you can help us. I don't think so. I
think it was just like, yeah, yeah, exactly, I don't
I still don't know. At agencies in South Dakota are
pissed because they were all rejected in favor of a
Minnesota based company who came up with the campaign. And then, uh,

(57:01):
we have some commentary from deans at business schools who
specialize in marketing. One dean said, any good marketer would
look at this and say, yeah, let's not do that.
And people are laughing at South Dakota, which surely wasn't
the objective. Uh. An advertising professor's first reaction was what
were they thinking? She was also shocked at how much

(57:22):
money it cost. That's because it costs them. Uh the
public number is four hundred thousand dollars, and people think
that it was actually one point four million dollars. And
the budget for combating uh you know, for treatment of

(57:43):
the math problem was one point seven for next year.
So they could have taken that money a three point
one million, put it towards towards treatment centers and you know,
seeing what actually works when it comes to treatment. But
so it's purely an awareness campaign. That's all it was.
I you, I don't hold think anything else that they

(58:10):
assume people will get out of that ad, Like what
we you heard it? Yeah, like there wasn't anything there.
There wasn't like go to this website to check out
to help, or like talk to your friend who's on math. Right,
there's no action steps. I've always found drug p s
a is like how they would work confusing, like the

(58:31):
this is your brain is your brain on drugs, although
we still remember that commercially remember it, But what the
fund did it tell us about drugs? Someone's gonna get
a pan and start smashing our brain all over the kid.
Yeah that's true. And I still did drugs anything. I know.
That's the thing. I actually found that the DARE program

(58:51):
made kids more likely to Yeah. Also, I was talking
about the drugs the DARE officer brought in, Right, that's
not we that's dirt. You want to smell that. That's
the worst smell, worst smelling things like stress. They just
explained how to do it safely as opposed to demonizing
it so much. Yeah, because people, because in the kids

(59:12):
are going to be like, oh, I'm not allowed to
do that, then I'm gonna try as opposed to you
can try, but safely, and they're like, oh, well it's
not exciting anymore. Every life decision you want a little
sixteen year old, Yeah, go ahead, do all the shrooms.
It's just like destabilized their whole claim to truth. Like
it when they just start lying to you about something

(59:32):
that's life or death, it's like, well fuck you then man,
like I'm gonna I'm gonna try this and your Yeah,
they like all those after school specials or somebody like
jumps out the window because they smoked weed like this. Yeah.
This isn't the first time that South Dakota has tried
something like this. They did a campaign a couple of

(59:54):
years back called Jerking isn't a joke, don't jerk and
five And the idea was that when you're in a skid,
when you're driving in the snow, you shouldn't jerk the
wheel back, and that they claimed that the best way
to spread that message to people was through a like

(01:00:20):
implying what people are jerking off and drive man, a
great campaign. Yeah, don't masturbate and drive. Also shout out
to a listener Cody Cork who sent me that when
we first talked about that, that was why it was
included here. But I remember someone being like, I'm an
embarrassed South Dakota. You know this is the first time

(01:00:43):
we had some weird ship. Yeah, hey man, but don't
jerk and drive those seriously please uh. And finally, we
just wanna give a shout out to Milk r I P.
Nine million years too. There have been so many write
ups because Dean food which is like the largest milk
manufacturer supplier in the country, had filed for bankruptcy. And

(01:01:06):
you know they have you know, Lehigh Valley True moo
uh fucking some other you know dairy the y hey man,
well or well, I mean Dean Foods has to file
for bankruptcy to protect themselves. But anyway, Um, the one
of the reasons they went bankrupt though, too, is like
they got real arrogant back in the day when like
these alternative milks are showing up and they basically like

(01:01:28):
divested and like sold off their units that we're making,
like like nut milks and things like that, because you're like, no, man,
we make fucking milk like this other trash ship and
then look who's coming to knock on your coffin door?
Is all the alternative milks? Um. But I mean I
get it, like there's a there's too much milk going
on first, I guess some people. But I still like milk. Yeah,

(01:01:49):
in certain instances. I don't have it all day. I
don't have keep it in my refrigerator. But sometimes you
like a little little milk yeah, cereal yeah, and oat milk,
I guess is fun down to do. I like the
chocolate old milk though, because it's just like straight, it's
just thick. It's like drinking chocolate sauce without like, oh,
milk has a lot of sugar. That's why I drink it. Yeah,

(01:02:10):
it's not it's not for the hell sugar isn't there
like a thing where the alternative milks can't say milk anymore.
They've been trying to see yet the dairy company been
suing them. Yeah yeah, but look, we know what it looks.
You can't say like nut, beverage. It's like, yeah, drink.

(01:02:31):
I guess what would they call it. There was some
term they were trying to give them for I don't know,
altern it. Yeah, nut. It's just hard, you know, just
call the milk man, if it's meant to be there
in place of milk, why can't we just call the milk.
I think we can. I think vegan burger, that's still
a burger, you know what I mean, it's vegan fine,

(01:02:55):
meatless burger, milk, dairy free milk or like non oh milk.
I don't know. We get the point. You can't stop
the fucking progress, though I tried to. When I was younger,
I was trying to make cheese juice because whoa, because
in my mind I was like, there's apple juice, orange juice,

(01:03:17):
carrot juice. Why isn't there a cheese which? But well,
hold on, don't stop that line of So my parents
are like, sure, you can try it, and so I
just got slices of American cheese and put it in
a blender with sugar and water, blended it all up,

(01:03:38):
and parents like you try first. I tried it and
it was disgusting, Like this is why there's no cheese.
You should have melted it down, right, I guess I
got chunky cheese juice. Quiso would kind of be cheese juice. Well,
I guess what are we using to define as a juice?
Like it has to be derived from squeezing it more

(01:03:58):
cheese smoothie. Yeah, I guess, like maybe if you're I
don't know, I'm not a cheesemaker, but isn't at a
certain point, aren't you like taking cheesecloth and you're like
ringing all the moisture out to make the cheese. I
guess it's all that moisture that comes out is the
closest you can get to a cheese juice. Yeah, that
sounds listeners, let us just be a whil ze gang.

(01:04:22):
Tell us your favorite recipe for cheese juice. So sheer,
it's been a pleasure of having you on the daily Zey.
Where can people find you? Um? All my socials are
at the sheer truth, sheer truth and a website called
sheer dot com. It's not very updated, but you know
my stuff there, and I posted about live shows on

(01:04:44):
all of those things. Do you have any live shows
coming up? I'm gonna be in San Francisco December something
sometimes the website, yeah, I think the end of December.
And um, and Oliver nice. Nice? And is there a
tweet you've been enjoying? Oh? Yeah, someone just sent this
to me yesterday. So I guess the screenwriter of Harriet

(01:05:10):
the movie was saying that when she was originally going
to studios talking about the script, one studio said that, yes, yeah,
so Julia Roberts play played Harry Tubmant and so this
at Tracy l Ross tweeted a picture of Julie Roberts
and the I guess the closest thing to a slave costume, saying,

(01:05:33):
big mistake, massa huge, That's incredible. Um. But you also
have a podcast too. I have a podcast best Friends
with Nicole Buyer, and it comes out every Wednesday. It's

You can find me follow me on Twitter and Instagram

(01:06:18):
at Miles of Gray. Tweet I like is from James
Adomian actually at Jamian because he does a Bernie Sanders impression.
And this dude literally had Bernie Sanders, the real life
Bernie Sanders on and they made a video. They're talking
to each other and it's Bernie Sanders talking to probably
one of his the best Bernie Sanders impersonator. Uh, and

(01:06:42):
it's like a fever dream. Yeah, it's really weird. And
it's weird because like Bernie's kind of the real Bernie
is kind of feeding off James energy. And but it's
also like you can tell, it's almost like when you
if you like speak and there's a delay, like you
it kind of sucks your ability to talk, like Bernie's
like kind of Percy's like yeah, there's yeah, yeah, but yeah.

(01:07:04):
The tweet was just said Bernie versus Bernie at Bernie
Sanders at Jadomian at the under culture. I mean just
look at his I'll retweet the video if you want
to see. Miss Andrews tweeted, it was an honor to
talk to myself and also the new podcast is out.
I'm really surprised at how many of y'all thought I
was joking that this was a show, and like, oh,
this is real. I thought you actually started as a

(01:07:27):
joke that you were going to start a show called four.
I have been talking about doing this, to be honest,
for I think one year now, but that's because it
was just a long development process. You know. We went
through a lot of different co host combinations, things like that,
a lot of legal issues. We almost tails. He tried
to sue me. Um. But now we were out of
the woods and the show is here. So check out
the new podcast. It's about fiance with Alexander. I'd like

(01:07:53):
to describe it as an elevated discussion for advertising purposes.

get your podcast us. Um. Yeah, and that's that. Abby
Cohen tweeted me, I got an amazing idea an advent calendar,
but with sausages. Guy just substituting sausages for chocolate. Me. No,

(01:08:13):

am sausages. You are and you are sausages. Oh my god,
Oh my god. That's wild. And then Christine n Angel
tweeted Detective trying to solve my murder, there are two
wine glasses on our night standing. This must mean she

(01:08:34):
had company by ghost lighting up a ghost cigarette. Low. Okay,
